Welcome to the official website of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines National Trust
Christopher Columbus set sail, another great migration in the history of St Vincent and the Grenadines was taking shape. Using dugout canoes, an ancient people began moving up the island chain of the Caribbean from South America, arriving in St Vincent and the Grenadines around 160 AD. The name given to these people is Saladoid because they seem to have originated near a place now called Saladero on the Orinoco River.
The Saladoid people were skilled weavers, stone workers and canoe builders. They grew and processed Cassava as a staple crop and built strong houses out of materials from the forest. They maintained links with other groups, though trade and migration and these influences can be seen in the different styles of their pottery.
Long before the cruise ships began to dock in Kingstown, before the slave ships forced the migration of thousands of people, over a thousand years before
Whereas in other islands such as Cuba and the Bahamas, the indigenous population was wiped out, through diseases brought by the first Europeans to arrive in the Americas and by the grueling slave labour system of the Spanish Empire, St Vincent remained untouched by European settlement until the early 18th century.
Before colonization by the French and the British, slaves settled in St Vincent, some having been shipwrecked when a slave ship sank off Bequia, others having escaped from other islands. These African slaves intermarried with the indigenous population and were the descendants of the "Black Carib" population from which many modern Vincentians are descended.
In the far north of the island of St Vincent, you can still find communities descended from the original indigenous population.
There are various ways you can experience the life of the Saladoid people and their descendants. Once such way is to visit a petrolgyph, where mystical religious pictures are carved into huge volcanic rocks. A visit to the National Archaeological Collection, cared for by the Trust at the Carnegie Building in Kingstown, is a fascinating way of learning about everyday life for the original inhabitants of St Vincent. The collection includes cassava griddles and other cooking implements, jewelry, tools and ceramics.
Other Petroglyphs are located at :
• Barrouallie
• Petit Bordel
• Chateaubelaire
• Buccament
• Colonaire
• Sharpes Stream
• Peter's Hope
• Lowman's Bay
• Canouan

New Phase 3 data confirms safety and efficacy of UCB's Cimzia in plaque and psoriatic arthritis
New Phase 3 data has been released by UCB Pharma on the safety of Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, and its efficacy in patients showing signs of psoriasis-related nail disease and those showed an inadequate early treatment response to the drug.
The first 96 weeks of data derived from 995 participants across two ongoing Phase 3 studies demonstrated that "confirmed the long-term safety of Cimzia in the treatment of psoriasis", with no new safety concerns flagged, while the overall incidence of adverse events was low.
Additionally, pooled 48-week data from the two studies showed that 66% of psoriasis patients with nail disease achieved total resolution, with results consistent on either regimen and with similar efficacy in patients with and without concomitant psoriatic arthritis.
The data also demonstrated that, in patients who responded partially or inadequately in the first 16 weeks of treatment, Cimzia produced an improvement in PASI75, PASI90 and PGA 0/1 response rates over an additional 32 weeks of treatment with 400mg every two weeks.
"This new research demonstrates UCB's ongoing commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes for psoriasis patients, where there is still significant unmet need," said Emmanuel Caeymaex, Head of Immunology and Executive Vice President at UCB. "This includes patients with psoriatic nail disease and those who do not initially adequately respond to their treatment dose. The multitude of evidence from these ongoing trials complements data from across all areas of chronic inflammatory diseases to show the value of Cimzia in treating different patient populations."

Man remains in hospital following second stabbing in a week on Great Yarmouth seafront
PUBLISHED: 16:16 11 February 2018 | UPDATED: 17:30 11 February 2018
Archant Norfolk © 2015
A man in his 20s remains in hospital following a knife attack on the Great Yarmouth seafront in the hours of Sunday morning.
At around 3.15am on Sunday, February 11, police were called to Marine Parade in the town to reports of a man suffering stab wounds.
The man was rushed to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge for further treatment, where police say he remains in a stable condition.
Three people have since been arrested in connection with the incident - one man and two women.
A spokesman for Norfolk Police said: "Three people are in custody in relation to an incident in which a man was stabbed and are assisting officers with their enquiries.
The attack is thought to have happened close to the Atlantis Arena complex on the front.
Jamie Hastings, who was on his way home from a night out at the time, said: "I was getting a taxi home and saw a big police presence in the area.
"There were blue lights everywhere."
It comes a week after another knife attack in a similar area, which happened near Britannia Pier around 1.30am on Sunday, February 4.

Autoptimize isn't the best cache plugin (WP Rocket and Swift Performance are #1 in most Facebook polls taken by the WordPress Speed Up Facebook Group with 10,000+ members).
In fact, Autoptimize doesn't even do caching. So why use it?
Because some hosts like Godaddy and WP Engine blacklist most cache plugins (since they have their own built-in caching system), but they don't do things like optimize HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Google Fonts, or CDN (content delivery network). So while your host's caching system might work well for caching, Autoptimize helps do the "rest" of the stuff (fixing items in GTmetrix + Pingdom). Avoid Google PageSpeed Insights as it doesn't even measure load times.
Even the Autoptimize developer says on his plugin page, that it works best when combined with a cache plugin. I recommend Swift if you're going the free route, and WP Rocket if you can do $49/year as it's easier to configure (it's also what I use and I have 100% scores in GTmetrix) since it comes with many features most cache plugins don't (database cleanup, hosting Google Analyitcs code locally, heartbeat control, and integration with both Cloudflare + other CDNs). I have tutorials for WP Rocket, Swift, WP Fastest Cache, W3TC, and even WP Super Cache.
So let's configure the Autoptimize settings. I'll also show you how to add a CDN (ideally both Cloudflare and StackPath) since each one has their own set of data centers, and more data centers = faster content delivery. CDNs are recommended in WordPress' optimization guide.
Main Settings
Optimize HTML Code – enable (fixes minify items in GTmetrix).
Optimize CSS Code – enable (fixes CSS items in GTmetrix). Test your site after enabling this.
CDN Base URL – this is where your CDN URL goes (instructions below). Cloudflare does not provide you with a CDN URL (you will change name servers instead) which I show you here. The CDN Base URL is specifically for StackPath, KeyCDN, and other CDNs (not Cloudflare). As I said, I suggest using both StackPath + Cloudflare as your CDN will have more data centers.
CDN Instructions
Step 1: Sign up for a CDN. I use StackPath who has 34+ data centers which are heavily located in the United States and is where most my visitors are. It's $10/month with a free 30-day trial.
Step 2: In the StackPath dashboard, click the CDN tab, and create a StackPath CDN Site…
*Copy your server IP address as it is needed in step 5 of this section.
Step 3: Paste your StackPath CDN URL into the CDN Base URL field of Autoptimize. You will need to add http:// or https:// at the beginning of the URL for it to work with Autoptimize…
Step 4: In StackPath go to CDN → Cache Settings, then click "Purge Everything"…
Step 5: Whitelist your server IP address in StackPath (WAF → Firewall).
Step 6: Run your site in GTmetrix and "content delivery network" should be green in YSlow.
Extra Settings
Google Fonts – enable if using Google Fonts which slow down load times as they're pulled from external resources (the Google Font library). I prefer the "combine and link in head" option since this improves load times without visibility seeing fonts load (which is what usually happens when loading asynchronously. Also test the last Google Font option "combine and load fonts asynchronously with webfont.js" and see which yields better results in GTmetrix.
Optimize Images – URLs on your website will be changed to point to ShortPixel's CDN. This should not effect how they look as long as it's lossless compression, but they will load faster.
Image Optimization Quality – enable lossless compression to avoid losing image quality.
Remove Emojis – enable (emojis are bad for load times).
Remove Query Strings From Static Resources – query strings are usually generated by plugins and cannot be fixed (in GTmetrix/Pingdom) simply be enabling this, but you can try. The better solution is to check your site for high CPU plugins and replace them with lightweight plugins. Most high CPU plugins include social sharing, gallery, page builders, related post, statistic, and live chat plugins. You should also delete all unnecessary plugins and clean the database (using a plugin like WP-Optimize) to clear tables left by uninstalled plugins.
Preconnect To 3rd Party Domains – helps browsers anticipate requests from external resources (Google Fonts, Analytics, Maps, Tag Manager, Amazon store, etc). These will usually appear as "minimize DNS lookups" in your Pingdom report, but below are common examples.
- https://fonts.googleapis.com
- https://fonts.gstatic.com
- https://www.google-analytics.com
- https://ajax.googleapis.com
- https://connect.facebook.net
- https://www.googletagmanager.com
- https://maps.google.com
Async Javascript-Files – this means something is preventing above-the-fold content from loading fast. This tutorial on render blocking JavaScripts explains it well, but if you see JavaScript errors in GTmetrix and Pingdom, the Async JavaScipt plugin might do the trick.
Optimize YouTube Videos – if your site has videos, WP YouTube Lyte lazy loads them so they only load when users scroll down and click the play button, thus eliminating initial requests to YouTube's servers. This can shave multiple seconds off loads times on content with videos, as they're one of the heaviest elements on a page. WP Rocket and Swift Performance have this built-in to their settings, so you don't need this if you use one of them as your cache plugin.
Now that we're done configuring the Autoptimize settings, let's move on to Cloudflare.
Autoptimize does not have any settings to add Cloudflare, but this is easy to setup. And you definitely should because this adds 154 more centers to your content delivery network (CDN).
Step 1. Sign up for Cloudflare and you will be prompted to add your site and begin a scan.
Step 2. Once the scan is done, select the free plan, then Cloudflare will take you through a set of pages. You will eventually be taken to a page where Cloudflare assign you 2 name servers.
Step 3. Do a Google search for "how to change name servers on SiteGround" (only search for your host), then follow their instructions. You will be copying the 2 name servers provided by Cloudflare and pasting them into a custom name servers option in your hosting cPanel…
Step 4. Grab your Cloudflare Global API Key (found in your Cloudflare profile) and enter it into Swift's Cloudflare tab. Use the same email as your Cloudflare account, and enable auto purge which purges Cloudflare's cache when Swift's cache is cleared (so you don't have to manually).
MaxCDN / StackPath
You can ignore these settings. StackPath bought MaxCDN and no longer uses an Alias, Consumer Key, or Secret. Simply create a StackPath CDN URL and enter it in the CDN tab.
- MAXCDN Alias – outdated (use StackPath CDN URL).
- MAXCDN Consumer Key – outdated (use StackPath CDN URL).
- MAXCDN Consumer Secret – outdated (use StackPath CDN URL).
Cache Plugins (WP Rocket / Swift)
As I mentioned, Autoptimize works best when paired with a cache plugin. WP Rocket is usually the highest rated in recent Facebook polls and is $49/year. Swift Performance Lite is usually the best free cache plugin, and I have tutorials for configuring both WP Rocket and Swift Lite.
Hosting (SiteGround)
Join the WordPress Hosting and WordPress Speed Up Facebook Group to see what real, unbiased people are saying, since hosting is the #1 factor in the WordPress optimization guide.
I use SiteGround and have 200ms response times with 100% GTmetrix scores and .4s Pingdom load times. Do a hosting check, run your own tests, or click through my fast loading pages. They were rated the #1 host in 26 Facebook polls and are worlds better than EIG (Bluehost, HostGator), Godaddy, and other hosts who pack too many people on the same server. There have been plenty of people who migrated and posted results on Facebook and Twitter. Tweetafter tweet, post after post, poll after poll after poll, faster hosting will fix slow response times. They're recommended by WordPress, do free migrations, and I use their semi-dedicated plan.
People usually migrate because their speed technology can improve server response times by multiple seconds. Here are a few people who migrated to SiteGround and posted their results.
I use SiteGround because…
- My GTmetrix + Pingdom report speak for themselves
- They use PHP 7.3, NGINX, HTTP/2, Cloudflare, fast speed technology
- Average load time is 1.3s, giving most people instant speed improvements
- They're recommended by WordPress and Ivica from WordPress Speed Up
- Free Let's Encrypt SSL, easy to use cPanel, and features for eCommerce
- Renewal prices are a price jump, but you can get 3 years of the promo price
- Always been known for great support (tickets usually answered in <10 min)
- I always get 100% uptimes but 99.99% is guaranteed (includes daily backups)
- They do free migrations, have a migrator plugin, and 30-day money back policy
- They're based in Chicago (my hometown) and have 4 data centers to choose
Affiliate Disclaimer – if you sign up for SiteGround using my affiliate link I would genuinely appreciate it. Each year I donate $3,000 to GoFundMe campaigns (2018 was to feed the homeless, and 2017 was to Hurricane Harvey). Your support helps, and I know there are tons of affiliates out there. I try to make my reviews unbiased and backed by evidence in the form of Facebook polls, tweets, and real conversations. If you don't want to use it, here's a non-affiliate link to SiteGround. Either way I truly believe they're the best host and that your site will run faster/smoother… do your research on Google and Facebook groups and you'll find most people say the same.
They have 3 plans:
Higher plans include more server resources (#1 factor in the WordPress optimization guide). Here's the full comparison chart, but GrowBig gives you about 2x more server resources than StartUp, and GoGeek is semi-dedicated hosting which gives you even more. GrowBig and up comes with a free migration, staging, advanced caching, and ability to host multiple websites. GoGeek comes with priority support. Their cloud hosting is quite the price jump at $80/month.
You can see this on their features page…

"Happy Macintosh" icon from the book, Icons: Selected Work from 1983-2011, available at the Benson Ford Research Center.
It's 1984. Turn on your Macintosh computer. Marvel at the convenience of the mouse under your hand. Point the arrow on your screen towards a desktop folder and click to open a file. Drag it and drop it somewhere else. Or, open some software. How about MacPaint? Select the pencil, draw some craggy lines; use the spilling paint bucket to fill in a shape. Move your arrow to the floppy disk to save your work. And then… imagine a worst-case scenario, as the ticking wristwatch times out. A pixelated cartoon bomb with a lit fuse appears. Your system crashes. The "sad Mac" appears.
The Macintosh Personal Computer introduced Susan Kare's icons to the world in 1984.
Introducing the Icon
Computer icons are visual prompts that when clicked on, launch programs and files, trigger actions, or indicate a process in motion. Clicking an icon is a simple gesture that we take for granted. In our current screen-based culture—spread between computers and smartphones—we might absent-mindedly use these navigational shortcuts hundreds (if not thousands) of times a day.
Before the mid-1980s, after booting up their computers, people typically found themselves greeted by a command line prompt floating in a black void, waiting for direction. That blinking cursor could seem intimidating for new home computer users because it assumed you knew the answers—that you had memorized the machine's coded language. The GUI (graphical user interface, pronounced "gooey") changed how humans interacted with computers by creating a virtual space filled with clickable graphical icons. This user-centric form of interaction, known as "the desktop metaphor," continues to dominate how we use computers today.
The 1984 Apple Macintosh was not the first computer to use a GUI environment or icons. That achievement belongs to the 1973 Xerox Alto—a tremendously expensive, vertically-screened system that only sold a few hundred units. After a few failed attempts, the multi-tasking GUI system finally found a foothold in the home computing market with the introduction of "the computer for the rest of us"—the Macintosh.
From Graph Paper to Screen Pixels
After completing her PhD in Art History, Susan Kare briefly entered the curatorial sphere before realizing that she would rather dedicate her career to the production of her own creative work. In 1982, Andy Hertzfeld, a friend of Kare's from high school, called with an interesting opportunity: join Apple Computer's software group and help design the user experience for the then-developing Macintosh computer.
"Floppy Disk" save icon from the book, Icons: Selected Work from 1983-2011, available at the Benson Ford Research Center.
Kare took up Hertzfeld's offer and set to work designing the original Macintosh icons, among them the trash can, the file folder, the save disk, the printer, the cloverleaf command (even today, this symbol appears on Apple keyboards), and the mysterious "Clarus the Dogcow."
Since no illustration software existed yet, Kare designed the first Macintosh icons and digital fonts through completely analog means. Using a graph paper notebook, she filled in the squares with pencil and felt-tipped pens, coloring inside the lines of the graph as an approximation of the Macintosh's screen. Despite the limitation of available pixels, Kare found economical ways to provide the maximum amount of visual or metaphoric meaning within a tiny grid of space—all without using shading or color.
Next Wave
Kare's icons and digital fonts exist beyond the lifespan of the Macintosh, appearing in later Apple products and even early iPods. Iterations and mutations of her icon designs continue to define the visual shorthand of our desktops and software today, migrating across systems and platforms: NeXT Computers, IBM and Windows PCs. Have you ever played Solitaire on a Windows 3.0 computer? If so, you've played with Kare's digital deck of cards.
A physical version of Susan Kare's Windows 3.0 Solitaire game.
Have you ever sent a "virtual gift" over Facebook like a disco ball, penguin, or kiss mark? Again, this is the work of Kare, whose work has been quietly shaping our interactions with technology since 1984—making computers seem more friendly, more human, more convenient—one click at a time.

The technological legacy of Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs, Apple's visionary co-founder, passed away yesterday, and the web is filled with an astounding outpouring of respect and gratitude for his work. It's a testament to the impact personal technology – mass-produced consumer products – can have on people's lives.
At The Henry Ford, we document not only the work of innovators, but the ways people use technology in their everyday lives. We collect artifacts that by their physicality and tangibility, their heft and their look, connect visitors to history and the lives of the people who used them. The Apple products in our collection – including an Apple IIe, a Lisa, a Macintosh, an iMac, an iPod and an iPhone – were used by ordinary people to write, teach, do business, play games, listen to music and connect to each other. Jobs' product genius was in making those activities easy, transparent and fun – and in making the products highly desirable.
In the early 1980s, with Jobs at Apple's helm, the company popularized the mouse and "graphic user interface" – the cheerful icons and desktop and folder metaphors that we still use in everyday computing. These innovations made computing accessible to everybody, not only people who could code. Over at our OnInnovation site, Steve Wozniak, Apple's brilliant engineer co-founder, talks about how making computing fun and easy was the company's goal from the beginning.
Jobs famously described the company as located at the intersection of technology and the liberal arts. He infused a respect for creativity, intelligence and design into the company's products – integrating color graphics quite early, for instance, and making one of his own passions, music, the key to a new kind of product, the digital music player.
The products Apple made under Jobs were never cheap. They were aspirational consumer goods that promised to make your life better, to make you a cool nonconformist, to make you "think different." Did they? Maybe and maybe not, but Jobs' legacy reminds us that our tools can change not only the way we live our lives, but the way we think about ourselves.

Physical Modeling
In developing physical models, we strive to understand the fundamental nature of a specific problem and then determine the scaling basis so it can be tested in a laboratory setting. Scaling goes beyond simply making a miniature version of something - we take into account all factors, such as scaling the water or airflow and stresses in the flow, to effectively match field conditions. The research process typically involves understanding the problem, designing and constructing a model, validating the model, testing and collecting data, and reporting findings.
Project Examples:
- Hydraulic River models
- Hydraulic Structures
- Turbine and Pump Intakes
- Navigation Models
- Lift Stations
Computational Modeling
Computational models allow for a more detailed understanding of dynamics, such as flow field and stress distribution, than is achievable in physical laboratory models. However, it is important that computational models be carefully validated using laboratory data to ensure accurate results. Once validated, computational models can be use to simulate a broader range of scenarios than is possible with physical models.

He always loved epic rave parties and enjoyed electronic and Hip Hop music until he eventually got into Djing Psy-Trance at house parties. He exploded as a dj immediately given his former production and performing experience. Playing many different genres from Hip Hop to Psy-Trance, he dominated each one very quickly until he settled down with two different sides to the music like a true Gemini. He is currently throwing down a very filthy house beat oriented style of bass music, which is a great blend of Mombathon, Dirty Dutch, Drumstep and Heavy Electro. His second musical style is all about Psychedelic Electronic music of all different types, all combined to for a very progressive mixture of tempo. His energy level, love for performing and mashing tracks has allowed him to Blow Up all over Calgary in only 5 years. He has played in places like; Motion Notion, Wild Afterhours, Soda, Aurora, Sal's, Quincey's, Habitat, Amsterdam Rhino, Vicious Circle and still enjoy's rocking the house parties from time to time.

Hey there
Hey there, I'm DellLatitudeD630ATG however, you can call me Rob. I subscribed to Michael's YouTube channel when it was MJD7999 after I saw his video on Windows FLP. I like Dell computers as my name would suggest and I have strong interest in beta builds of Microsoft Windows.

Re: Windows Longhorn 3683 Media Center
If I recall correctly, you have to use a certain product key during setup to install the Media Center Edition. I assume you've done so but with no luck yet? I think I tried a Windows XP WMC 2002 Key last week and It said it was invalid, i plan to try some other 2002 WMC keys and hope for the best. ...

A scheme to rewild marshland east of Amsterdam has been savaged by an official report and sparked public protest after deer, horses and cattle died over the winter
Patrick Barkhamin Oostvaardersplassen
Fri 27 Apr 2018 10.41 BSTLast modified on Fri 27 Apr 2018 22.00 BST
It is known as the Dutch Serengeti, a bold project to rewild a vast tract of land east of Amsterdam. But a unique nature reserve where red deer, horses and cattle roam free on low-lying marsh reclaimed from the sea has been savaged by an official report after thousands of animals starved.
In a blow to the rewilding vision of renowned ecologists, a special committee has criticised the authorities for allowing populations of large herbivores to rise unchecked at Oostvaardersplassen, causing trees to die and wild bird populations to decline.
It follows growing anger in the Netherlands over the slaughter of more than half Oostvaardersplassen's red deer, Konik horses and Heck cattle because they were starving. After a run of mild winters, the three species numbered 5,230 on the fenced 5,000-hectare reserve. Following a harsher winter, the population is now just 1,850. Around 90% of the dead animals were shot by the Dutch state forestry organisation, which manages the reserve, before they could die of starvation.Continued

Commissione di studio inter—regionale Forlì
The "Forlì" Commission named after the town where the first meeting was held, groups some 30 laboratories from Emilia-Romagna and other surrounding Italian region. The commission's scientific secretariat is run by Dr. Gualtiero Pallotti (Ospedale Pierantoni – Forlì).
The characteristics of this first meeting organized together with Dr. Palloti, on 28th May in 1993 in Forlì, in response to requests received from the different parties, were atypical; in its aim to freely express doubts, problems, opinions, sensations, results and any other question related to the topic proposed.
Since its spontaneous constitution, the commission has held over a dozen meetings on the initial object argument of the study groups: assessment of methods to determine Free Light Chains (FLC) and Bence Jones Proteins (BJP) in urine.
The specific first results were published in Biochimica Clinica in 1995, vol. 19, n. 5, entitled "L'angolo dell'Elettroforesi" of F. Aguzzi with the title "Valutazione Multicentrica di metodi e protocolli per le Catene Leggere Libere e Proteine di Bence Jones in urine – Primi risultati".
Subsequent results, obtained in joint experiments with other subsequently constituted commissions, were presented at different scientific society Meetings and Congresses; since the 1999 edition the commissions have been invited to present their results and conclusions at the CEFAR Courses "Proteins: from the Laboratory to the Clinic".
Different meetings subsequent to the experiments have enabled the commission to formulate a draft on "Operational Recommendations" , which proposes some base characteristics the methods and protocols used for qualitative and quantitative BJP determination should comply with. Other conclusions drawn from the experiments and detail of the results obtained appear in the paragraph on results and conclusions.
Lately, at their recent meetings, the commission has been expanding the horizons of its experiments on applying the same methodology to proteinuria study in general. The objective, as initially for FCL and BJP, is to advance in the standardization of proteinuria study; by comparing traditional separative methods (EF, SDS, etc.) with dosing specific marker proteins in urine.
Commissione congiunta SIBioc/AIPAC/SIMEL, Sezioni Liguri
In 1997 the Ligure Sections of the SIBioC – AIPAC – SIMEL decided to commence in conjunction an analogous initiative to that of the "Forlì" Commission, also co-ordinated organizationally by NSC; and constituted the "Liguria" Commission, whose scientific secretariat is run by Dr. Liliana Burlando (già Ospedale Galliera – Genova) and Dr. Giovanna Zaninetta (Ospedale S. Martino – Genova), grouping some 14 laboratories in the area.
The "Liguria" commission has kept close contact with the other commissions, and particularly with the "Forlì" commission, leading them to present their results and conclusions jointly at different scientific society Meetings and Congresses, in particular those of SIBioC and the CEFAR courses.
The result of these discussion meetings after the experiments, has led the commission to formulate its own "Operational Recommendations", whose base lines coincide with the "Forlì" commission document, complemented with two proposals:
- considerations and mask for the report
- quantitative determination assessment proposal
Both the "Forlì" and "Liguria" commissions are expanding their works to assessment of methods for the general study of proteinuria, to advance in their standardization.
Commissione di studio Lazio, Toscana/Umbria
Two new commissions were added to those of "Forlì" and "Liguria" in 2001, grouping between them some 30 laboratories from Lazio, Toscana and Umbria .
The "Lazio" Commission co-ordinated by Dr. Maria Teresa Muratore (Ospedale Civile – Viterbo), held their first meeting on 10th April 2001 in Vitorchiano, while the "Toscana-Umbría" Commission, whose scientific secretariat is run by Dr. Enzida Piazza (Ospedale Careggi – Firenze), was constituted on 24th May 2001.
The results and conclusions of their experiments were recently presented in conjunction with those of the "Forlì" and "Liguria" commissions, in the 2001 edition of the CEFAR Course (Castrocaro).

| 7.5°C Dublin
An EU report says corruption affects all 28 member countries of the European Union and costs their economies around 120 billion euro (£99 billion) a year.
The report, the EU's first on corruption, was issued by European Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.
The report finds that EU member states have taken many steps in recent years to fight corruption, but that the results are uneven and that more needs to be done.
Malmstrom said in a statement: "Corruption undermines citizens' confidence in democratic institutions and the result of law, it hurts the European economy and deprives states of much-needed tax revenue.
"Member states have done a lot in recent years to fight corruption, but today's report shows that it is far from enough."

'Tangled: The Musical,' which will immerse audiences in Rapunzel's fairytale world through lavish production numbers and spellbinding music, will debut aboard Disney Cruise Line's Disney Magic beginning in November 2015, it was announced today. Three new songs created exclusively for this show by Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and Grammy Award-winning lyricist Glenn Slater will bring the story to life onstage. Stitch Kingdom first reported on the new musical back in September 2014.
"The show will stay true to the storyline from the hit feature film — with a few special twists to create a live staged production — featuring favorite characters like Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, the villainous Mother Gothel and Maximus the police horse. It will also include three new original songs from composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater, the prolific pair behind the original soundtrack for
, who teamed up again to adapt the score and story for the stage. Complementing the score from the film, three new songs weave a delightful combination of narrative, humor and theatrics into the performance. In addition to the new songs, audiences will enjoy live performances of favorite songs from the movie, including 'When Will My Life Begin,' 'Mother Knows Best,' 'I Have a Dream' and the Grammy Award-winning ballad, 'I See the Light.'
Elaborate costumes, groundbreaking puppetry and stunning set designs transform the 977-seat Walt Disney Theatre into a fanciful Bavarian kingdom, immersing audiences in Rapunzel's world and making them feel a part of her story. Disney assembled an all-star creative team to develop this extravagant production, with director Gordon Greenberg and choreographer Connor Gallagher joining Menken, Slater and a bevy of top-notch theatrical talent.
Master puppet designer Michael Curry, whose extraordinary creations are featured in Disney's Tony Award-winning musical "The Lion King" on Broadway, is breeding a brand-new pedigree of puppetry in Maximus, the rambunctious police horse whose exaggerated demeanor becomes even more hilarious with the addition of the whinnying puppet performer within. This cleverly constructed character is sure to be the "mane" attraction of every scene he steals.
Dazzling costumes created by Tony Award-winning designer Paloma Young will bring the flair and vibrancy of the animated world to life onstage in "Tangled: The Musical." The townspeople's bright hues and Rapunzel's feminine florals are perfectly balanced by the bristly browns of the rugged thugs and royal regalia of the kingdom officials, creating a sensational fusion of colors, patterns and textures.
Remarkable set designs by scenic designer Bradley Kaye will transport audiences to storybook locales that include Rapunzel's tower home, the outlandish Snuggly Duckling tavern, a brightly adorned kingdom town and the resplendent lakeside setting of the iconic floating lanterns scene from the film.
The new show will premiere during the November 11, 2015 four-night Bahamian cruise.

Happy All the Things! June 16, 2019Posted by Hydy in CSCC, life, reading.

Happy Father's Day to my Dad and all the fatherly figures!
Happy Anniversary to my Parents!
Happy Birthday to Kalyn!
Happy Pride weekend to Columbus!
It's been busy weekend here, but all full of love.
I was one of 13,000 marchers for equality yesterday in the Columbus Pride Parade, and one of half a million attendees to it and the Pride Festival downtown. It was a wonderful thing to be a part of, and so nice to see an old college classmate as our Grand Marshall!
I also dropped by Origins Game Fair for a break from all the walking and to say hi to some friends. Some day I'll get a badge and actually attend.
At work, summer is moving along, and we'll have all new printers soon. Finishing up some projects and digging into new ones. Summer is quiet on our campus, with a lot of looking towards the influx of new students in the autumn.
At home, my crafting table is piling up, but my first project this coming week will be replacing the too temperature bits on my dryer. Parts ordered and waiting.
I'm still working my way through Creativity, Inc. and really enjoying the discussion about managing creative enterprises. Need to get back and finish Vinas Solamnus, and then the second Dragonlance narrated by Liam O'Brien. I've got a few Audible Originals, too.
No comments yet — be the first.

There's something magical about falling in love! It's like being a in Hollywood movie with violins playing in the background and spring flowers floating in the air. And the best part about it is, every time you are with your boyfriend, their eyes seem to lock onto yours as if they can see your soul.
Falling in love is surreal, especially when it happens to you for the first time. But if it isn't your first time, you can't help to wonder if you have really found true love or if it's just your hormones getting the best of you. After all, the last time you were feeling like this, you ended up convincing yourself that a common frog was your Mr. Right. And you know how that worked out for you.
Nevertheless, if there's one thing that love has taught us, time and time again, it's that you can't force love to happen. So, don't panic about the number of times you fell for the wrong guy. When you finally find your Prince Charming, you will realize why it didn't work out with the other men from your past.
Today, our Lake Oswego matchmaking experts are going to show you the surefire signs you found true love.
1. He supports you and your dreams.
The biggest sign you have found true love is this one. After all, how can you be with the right person if he doesn't support your goals and dreams? So, ladies, keep an eye for this one.
And when we say he supports you, we mean through his actions, because we all know those shady guys who say they have your best interest in mind but who will keep toying with your emotions.
2. He listens when you speak.
When you are really in love, you want to know everything about your boyfriend. From their favorite food to their favorite color, their most-exciting childhood memory to their biggest fear in life, their hopes and dreams and everything in between.
So, when he takes a deep interest in your life, tries to figure out who you are on the inside, and listens carefully when you talk, it's a big sign he is in love with you.
And when he listens, we mean he really listens with rapt attention at the moment, and then works what you said into future conversation.
3. You make mutual decisions like a team.
One of the biggest signs you are dating the wrong guy is his need to make all the decisions in the relationship. He might say he is doing you a favor by making all the decisions on your behalf, but he is just lying to cover up the fact that he only cares about himself.
True love doesn't work like that. When you truly love someone, you want them to be involved in the decisions, as they affect both partners in the relationship. You work together as a team, understand each other's apprehensions, soothe each other's fears, and come up with decisions together. You collaborate together because you care deeply for each other.
4. You trust each other.
The thing about trust is that you can't really trust someone until you take a leap of faith and share something personal with them. It doesn't matter whether your friends know him or you have heard from good sources that he's trustworthy. Until you can trust him with something, you will never know.
So, when you do that, one of two things will happen: the other person will either betray your trust, or you will realize that you have a trusting person as a partner.
True love is when you can trust your partner with anything under the sun. After all, love cannot thrive without trust. It's the foundation that makes it all happen. So, if you know you can trust your boyfriend and he can trust you, it's a big sign you have found true love.
So, what do you say? Is this guy your one true love, or are you still searching for your Prince Charming? If you are single and want to meet relationship-minded single men in Portland, let our Lake Oswego matchmakers introduce you to mature singles who are fit and ready to start a meaningful relationship.

3 quick & easy online marketing tips to increase your online visibility.
the solution to increasing your online visibility with an explainer video.
Building a social media presence is important for every business, especially if you're targeting millennials and the youth. It's relatively easy to do SMM once you have a clear strategy that's fit for your brand.
Select one or two key social networking sites (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube) to focus your marketing efforts. Almost all platforms are free to use, although promoting ads do require a minimum investment, depending on your desired reach and other factors.
You'll be able to talk to a targeted audience – or expand your current audience – and you'll be able to gain insights into their interests and consumer behavior.
You can communicate with your audience directly, gather feedback, publish content, and promote your business easily and instantly. Major social networking sites offer many convenient tools for businesses to advertise online and to analyze the results of their efforts.
In the market today, you will find several companies that deal with the same products competing for the same consumers. While this global and local competition increases and intensifies every year, some companies still dominate their niche, while others struggle even to meet the cost of running the business. Why the difference? Branding! Think of global companies such as Nike, Microsoft, or Google. Even when you don't like their products, chances are you already know them and they probably want to buy them whenever you see their colors. This kind of prominence can only be achieved through branding.
However, SMM can sometimes have negative effects on your online brand. Because social media is very public, any little mistake you make in posting can immediately be picked up by thousands of users and shared to a thousand more. A few negative or malicious comments or posts could ultimately ruin your brand's reputation, so you should take measures to protect your online brand.
The main objective of any business is to find and convince as many customers to buy its products or services. Whether you are planning to start a small business or to grow your existing venture in 2019, your goals should focus on establishing a close relationship with the clients. However, your success will highly depend on how customers know and feel about your business. Therefore, effective brand marketing and visibility should remain a top priority this year.

I hadn't actually heard the MagnaFlow exhaust the previous owner put on from outside the truck until today.
Better than I was expecting. That exhaust tip really looks terrible though.
I was revving it out past 5,000rpm, which I've been wary to do because it used to sound like the motor was gonna explode getting close to 4,000, lately it's been way more willing to rev though. And this motor holds on to revs like no tomorrow. You rev it up to 3,000+ it doesn't want to come down.

In 2006 after losing his job in sales, Mike Conforti, used all of his savings to buy Artful Dodger, a nightclub in Huntington, NY. Artful Dodger became one of the first bars in the area to feature DJs and dancing; thriving for the first 5 years. At one point sales reached $50,000 a month but as the local Huntington bar scene grew, Conforti's lack of standards to maintain the bar sent customers to the competition.
Despite the great market, Artful Dodger is so tired and rundown that it fails to attract the young wealthy locals. Everything is ripped apart and there is gum stuck to the seats, everything is filthy and there is a rancid smell of piss. Customers are swatting flies away as well as being served them in their cocktails. How does a business go from successful to this, asks Taffer. Pure neglect!
Therefore, Jon Taffer brings in Phil Wills and Jessie Barns to whip the staff into shape. Phil immediately gets to work demonstrating a true shake in order to bind the ingredients of a drink together instead of rolling or dumping. Jessie challenges them to make cocktails while facing a slew of issue that they might face on a typical night behind the bar. With the new concept and the implementations of good service standards, good brands, quality recipes and a quality experience the new venue is sure to succeed.
P's & Q's Auto Body is mysterious and cool; it intrigues the customer who wants to know what is inside. Once inside customers will find a classy and sophisticated bar modeled after throwback flare of the 1920's. Six weeks after the relaunch sales are up 30% and Conforti and Gordon finally realized that they have the tools and the drive to make the bar a success.

Hi sisters,
From my wonderful world of motherhood and part time work and singing a bit at church and in choir I am faced with a few tough decisions. I thought I'd let you hear that "THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!"
Should I take a nap while my baby naps, or should I….insert anything else that you might do. Every morning when Calvin goes down for his first nap I have this back and forth in my head. "It might be nice to nap with him, I am fairly sleep deprived. BUT, he only naps for 45 minutes at a time. Is that enough time for me to fall asleep? Maybe I should get started on some food/meal prep. Or maaaaybe I should take a bath and read one of the 28 books I have out of the library (no joke) while anxiously listening to the baby monitor. Or maybe this indecision has gone on so long that I've just been sitting on the computer frittering away my 45 minutes of independence and he's awake again." I really love that he naps. I don't love how many things I could do while he naps. Sometimes the best thing is some self-care time. One morning this week I just lay down and napped with him for 40 minutes, it was what I needed to get through the day. Another morning I made Asian Cabbage Slaw and it was delicious.
Should I be healthy and avoid sugar/processed foods or should I daydream about eating every sweet under the sun/go make fresh cookies from the cookie dough balls that I have in my freezer. It's kind of sad how much of my brain space is taken up with food that is bad for me. To some extent I'd like to change that, but I also rationalize–right now I'm breastfeeding and can eat way more. Just try and balance out the sweets with healthy food Jewel! I should keep a food journal for a week so that I can see how much bad food I'm actually eating vs. how much it feels like I'm eating because I think about it so often. I had to go deliver books to daycares this week and every restaurant I drove past I thought, "Wow, I bet they make really great, greasy, delicious food and have yummy desserts. I should go there." I didn't. I came back to the library and had Asian Cabbage Slaw, yogurt, a babybel cheese thing with wheat crackers and a banana. It was depressingly good for me.
On a more serious note. Should I obsess over my baby and my own self care needs or should I take time to show my husband how much I'm still in love with him. This is something that is so easy for me to forget. Kevin and I can be very focused and driven people when it comes to getting things accomplished in our day to day lives. Probably too much so sometimes. I like to make sure we have plenty of good food to eat that is yummy, diverse and bought on a semi-tight budget. I like to make sure Calvin is happy and content and cared for. I like to make sure that I'm feeling emotionally healthy and happy with a minimum of stress in my day to day life and that I'm doing whatever I can to ease Kevin's stressers. I need to make sure I'm physically healthy by eating well and stretching and exercising (I'm not very good at doing this on a regular basis and my sore neck is a result). Kevin likes to make sure his realm (our home and property) is clean and in order and maintained. He likes to provide the vast majority of our income through a job that satisfies him. He loves to make me and Calvin smile and laugh on a regular basis. I often get caught up worrying about all of my things and how I might be hindering his desire for an ordered world and forget to stay light-hearted and responsive to his quirky sense of humor. Nights when I come home and am willing to laugh and joke with him are a million times better than the ones when I come home worried about getting dinner done and cleaned up and Calvin bathed and fed and asleep. Note to future self who reads this someday: Try to be laid back at least once a week :-). Evidence of our kooky courtship to make you laugh today. Look how little we were!
Another serious one. Part of my overall lack of stress is founded on how undemanding my life is right now. Should I be content with my situation or try and be more ambitious in the field that I trained in? Kevin and I are secure financially (for the most part, thanks student loans), I work at a very pleasant job helping people (mainly children) find books to read and facilitating a great library experience for them, I have a happy, healthy baby. The main thing that I'm missing and that used to carry some stress for me was a career based around music and singing. I enjoyed teaching lessons, but the schedule of working nights and the headache of finding students and keeping track of payments and missed lessons, etc., isn't all that appealing to me while I'm also being a mom and wife. I miss singing, but have found an opportunity to sing in a local chamber chorale that does really great music with a high level of skill and am also involved in music at my church. It's sobering sometimes to think about those student loans and realize I don't have a job that is in my field, to realize, essentially, that I don't have the career I thought I could have. That word career is so strange. I know I don't mind that things aren't working out how I planned right now, and who knows what the future may hold. I do know that I am so in awe of mothers and fathers who work hard at their careers and vocations and parent and put food on the table. I'm in awe of NON mothers and fathers who dedicate so much of themselves to interesting careers. Right now looking at people with full time jobs/careers feels a bit like window shopping at an expensive clothing store. It seems nice but that it would take a lot out of me.
There are many little momentary struggles throughout my day, funny and serious. It feels a bit funny to write about the things I struggle with. Growing up I remember assuming being a Christian (I just accidentally typed Christmas instead, HAH) meant being happy about everything. I've since learned to desire honesty in my joys and my struggles and to hope other people can speak similarly about the ups and downs of everyday life. I still feel a twinge of guilt that my struggles are so mundane compared to those of people suffering around the world, but this blog isn't about them, it's about the very lovely lives of the Buckwalter sisters. By some miracle of birth we ended up with great parents, a beautiful, secure home and many wonderful opportunities. I hold that thought with me as I go throughout the momentary difficulties of life.
Love you all so very much,

Reflections by Mitch Finesilver
"The most valuable part of my Duke experience has been the challenges I have faced," former wrestler Mitch Finesilver said. "My time at Duke, while extremely rewarding, pushed me to be a better student, athlete and person. Graduating from such a prestigious university validates the hard work I've put in and the sacrifices I've made. I wouldn't trade my time at Duke for anything and cannot thank the people who have made it possible enough. I hope to continue on with my life by bringing pride to those individuals and representing them to my best abilities."

I remember first reading Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis when I was nine years old. I read it around the time that I discovered my passion for jazz music, a passion that I have carried throughout my life to this day. What originally intrigued me about this story all those years ago were three things. The first being my fascination with the Great Depression, the second being my enthusiasm for jazz music, and the third being my interest in racial inequality and general discrimination. This book has all of those things. Although I recall enjoying this novel, I did not pick it up again until now, oddly enough for the same reasons that made me originally decide to read it.
My experience reading this novel at sixteen years old in comparison to my experience when I was nine is quite a different one. Although I remembered a few elements of this book before reading it a second time, I mostly only remembered the fact that I liked it. It is clear that Bud, Not Buddy was written with children as its target audience, but this does not mean that it can not still be an entertaining read for all ages. There are serious subjects brought up in this book, while providing a light and childish narration throughout the novel that those not as interested in history can enjoy. I was thoroughly reminded of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, when reading this novel.
Seeing as Bud, Not Buddy is narrated by a child, it has a dialogue that is extremely laid-back and not always grammatically correct. I understand that this was an intentional effect made by the author and is part of the character's personality, but it drew me out of the writing on a few occasions. I think that the writing style in this book would be better listened to on audio-book as opposed to being read, but this is just my personal preference. I don't think that the writing style is a flaw of the book, it just took me a little longer to get used to the story. This style feels a little forced in some areas, while perfectly representative of the characters and their time period in others.
Christopher Paul Curtis mentions several historical and cultural references throughout his book, varying from fairly in-depth descriptions to throwing them into sentences without fully explaining their meaning and significance in history. This opens up a perfect educational opportunity for either parents or teachers to discuss these topics more with their children or students reading this book.
Overall, I feel that Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis would be a more enjoyable read for younger children, but it's a well written historical read nonetheless. This novel is one that adults and older teens can enjoy, but maybe for different reasons than the children reading it might.

Well not really pray. I was reading notes children have written to god. One of the funny ones was by a little girl who wrote..." Hi God, some times I think of you even when I'm not praying."
This made me chuckle because I think I needed a reminder that so many things are out of my control. This innocence of thought and ideals slanted to a singular belief system that really fails in the face of capitalism and democracy. It is a real wonder that we can survive at all when the real world is so opposite of the idealist beliefs. Yet so many people strive to there own level of perfection while disregarding the belief system they are instilled with at such a young age.
Everyone wants a better world - Unfortunately that better world is for themselves and not others. Equality can never exist. That is the truth.

Table, the Crate&Barrel restaurant run by Cornerstone Restaurant Group, opened in July outside of Chicago. The restaurant is helmed by chef Bill Kim.
Chef Kim embraced the benefits of opening a restaurant alongside a home goods store. "We have probably 12 to 13 patterns of china. And usually at most restaurants, you might have two or three."
When chef Kim discovered these Crate&Barrel's glass cloches, he designed his crudités around them.
The new Lululemon store in Chicago is two-levels and 20,000-square feet and includes a store, a gym, and a cafe, serving everything from beer to smoothies.
The new location features the Fuel Space, the first Lululemon branded cafe.
The Fuel Space menu includes seasonal food, smoothies, coffee, beer and wine.
While Tommy Bahama has been in the restaurant industry since 1997, their new concept, Marlin Bars, caters to customers looking for a quick bite rather than a long meal.
(A Marlin Bar in Palm Springs, Calif., shown here.)
"People don't want to spend that much time. They didn't want to spend two hours for dinner," said Tommy Bahama CEO Doug Wood.
(A Marlin Bar in Coconut Point, Fla. shown here.)
"These have been just such home runs for us," said Wood when discussing the Marlin Bar concepts.

TicWatch C2 review
Mobvoi only started making smartwatches in the last couple of years, but it's a company that has performed well and has multiple products in our best smartwatch list due to what they offer at an affordable price.
The TicWatch C2 is the latest addition to the growing range of TicWatch products and it's the first sequel to the TicWatch Classic, the company's first ever wrist companion.
That means it sits slightly above the more affordable TicWatch options but isn't as high-end as the TicWatch Pro that came out in early 2018. Below you can read about our full experience with the TicWatch C2.
Mobvoi TicWatch C2 release date and price
You can buy the TicWatch C2 now in the US, UK and Australia, and you've been able to pre-order it since November 2018. It's now on sale from the official Mobvoi website, and we expect to see it appear at third-party retailers soon.
The price is set at $199.99 / £179.99 / AU$299, which means it's a touch more expensive than the TicWatch E and around the current selling price of the TicWatch S. That watch was more expensive at launch though.
It's a bit cheaper than the top-end TicWatch Pro. That's $249.99 / £219.99 / AU$369.99, so the price difference isn't huge and if you're after the Pro's two-display screen tech it will be worth you spending that extra.
That said, this watch is trying to be more affordable than the top-end device from Mobvoi so it's worth a look if you're on the hunt for an affordable watch.
Design and display
The TicWatch C2 feels more premium than the first generation of this line of watches, and it's certainly more premium than the TicWatch E or S. All of that said, it doesn't feel as high-end as the TicWatch Pro and it doesn't have as many features either.
There's a 1.3-inch AMOLED display at the heart of the watch with a resolution of 360 x 360, which is what you'll use to navigate around the UI. There are also two pronounced hardware buttons on the right hand edge of the watch to help you move around the interface.
The top button has an odd indent that's an orange color, but it gives it a unique look much like how the crown on the Apple Watch Series 3 and Apple Watch 4 has been a different color.
There's no interesting second screen tech here like you'll get on the TicWatch Pro, which is a bit of a shame, but it has allowed the company to make this watch both thinner and lighter.
The watch itself is made of stainless steel and comes in silver, black or rose gold. The rose gold variant sports 18mm straps and is a touch thinner at 12.8mm, while the black and silver ones are 13.1mm thick and sport 20mm straps.
It's actually just the front of the watch that is made of stainless steel. That ensures the most visible part looks premium, but it's a little less good looking on the rear as that's plastic. But if you want you'll be able to keep that a hidden secret next to your wrist.
You can get a variety of leather straps, but Mobvoi has confirmed that it will bring more options to market soon as well.
It's an odd choice from Mobvoi to initially alienate those who don't want leather. For anyone who wants to avoid leather or to use this for exercise, you may want to buy a separate third-party silicone strap to put with this.
Back to the thinness, the rose gold variant is particularly thin as there isn't a lip over the top of the bezel around the display. You can see that clearly in the photo above, and it's just one way the company has made this version more suitable for smaller wrists.
All versions of the TicWatch C2 are also IP68 water and dust resistant. That means it will be able to survive a jog in the rain, but Mobvoi has confirmed this watch isn't designed for use in a pool, so you won't be able to track your swimming stats with this.
Specs and performance
How does the TicWatch C2 perform on the inside? The good news is it's okay, but the bad news is this isn't going to impress you with its speed.
Speed on a smartwatch isn't always the most necessary thing, but it's an odd choice from Mobvoi to include the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset to power the TicWatch C2. That's a bit of a shame as Qualcomm has now released a new reworked version called the Snapdragon Wear 3100, which offers extra power and better battery life.
We found in our review period that the watch would work as quickly as we needed it to, but it would have been nicer to get that slight speed boost from the newer chipset.
There's 512MB of RAM in the TicWatch C2, which is fairly standard for a smartwatch. Again, it won't impress you but it gets the job done.
The latest Wear OS software is on board here, so you'll immediately notice the user interface design changes if you're used to the original version of Wear OS. The new version makes navigating around smartwatches that bit easier.
Wear OS works much better than Android Wear did at launch, and this device will pair with both iPhones and Android devices as long as they have relatively recent software running on them.
Android users will get a slightly better experience thanks to better integrated Google services, but it's largely the same as what you'd get if you paired the watch with an iPhone instead.
Wear OS is smooth, and while it may not sport the largest array of apps it does have the necessities covered.
You can download any Wear OS apps directly from the Google Play Store, or you can use the ones that are already loaded onto the watch. A lot of the fitness features – something we'll get into below – are using Mobvoi's own apps here.
Watch faces are limited on the TicWatch C2, but that's easy enough to change as you can download thousands directly from the Google Play Store. We like a few of the designs that Mobvoi offers, but we'd prefer to have the customization of having lots of choice.
There is NFC here, so you'll be able to set up Google Pay on your wrist for contactless payments. That's something you're not able to do on the TicWatch E or TicWatch S.
Everything we've come to expect from Mobvoi's range of Wear OS watches is here, including a heart rate monitor, GPS and normal fitness tracking features that will keep an eye on your step count and track general exercise.
Don't expect a sport watch experience here though. Although it can do some good normal tracking, this isn't waterproof so it can't be taken in a pool and we didn't find the design to be particularly sport friendly.
The thicker design than some other smartwatches means this isn't entirely suited to taking out running with you, and the leather-only straps mean you probably won't want to sweat in this.
You may want to hold off and see if Mobvoi will provide silicone straps for this device, or buy yourself a third-party strap that will fit it.
If you do still want to exercise with the watch, we found the heart rate tracker to be accurate if a little slow to work. It will encourage you to be still to get the most accurate reading, so don't expect to get the best results when you're out mid-stride on a run.
There's GPS on the watch, which is something the company hasn't included on its most affordable watches before. Connectivity is OK, but it can take a little while longer to connect than on some more expensive smartwatches.
If you're not too worried about waiting a minute or so for it to connect you likely won't find this to be an issue. It can be frustrating when you're desperate to get started on your run though.
Battery life
Mobvoi claims the 400mAh cell in the TicWatch C2 is able to last for 1-2 days, and we found that to be about right, with it reaching around two days when you're not intensively using the watch.
If you're using the watch for exercise every day and constantly playing around with apps on the device, you'll find the battery to be closer to around a day from a single charge.
That's about the average for a smartwatch, but if you like the look of Mobvoi watches and you want longer life you may want to opt for the TicWatch Pro. The C2 won't rival the TicWatch Pro, which can offer up to a month of timekeeping and step counting from a single charge.
You won't be stunned by the battery life of the TicWatch C2, but you should find it will last at least a full day. With two days not guaranteed though you'll likely want to take the device off most nights to charge it.
To recharge the TicWatch C2 you'll have to use a proprietary charger, so you'll have to remember to take this with you whenever you go away if you want to be able to use the watch.
It's easy enough to use, but it would have been a nice touch if the C2 was able to charge from standard wireless charging pads instead.
It's difficult to get excited about the Mobvoi TicWatch C2 as it doesn't do much that's all that different to other smartwatches on the market.
Where it gets exciting is the price, and the fact that this is a significant discount on a lot of other Wear OS watches on the market is a big deal.
A lot of what most people will want from a smartwatch is on offer here, so you can expect the TicWatch C2 to suit you if you want to be able to use Google Pay or just get notifications directly to your wrist.
Who's this for?
There's no denying that this is a budget option. It doesn't have the most premium design of any watch you can buy right now, but it's a great-looking device when you consider how much it costs compared to some of the alternatives out there.
If you're on a limited budget for your smartwatch, the C2 may suit you perfectly as it offers pretty much everything most people want from a premium smartwatch but comes in at a lower price.
This device certainly isn't for vegans or anyone who doesn't like leather as that's the only option right now. It also isn't a device for you if you need long life battery for trips away or a period of a few days away from a wall socket. If that's you, look to the TicWatch Pro instead.
Should you buy it?
We really like the TicWatch C2. It isn't the blingiest device you can buy, and it's far from the most exciting. Yet again though Mobvoi has made one of the most competitively priced devices, with a cost that almost brings it to the level where some people will just buy it for a toy to play around with.
Notifications work well, Wear OS is sturdy enough and there's enough power on the watch to get through most tasks you'll want to do. For the odd jog this is a suitable tracker too, but don't expect this to compete with your friend's top-end sports watch, especially if you like to swim.
Overall, go for this as an affordable alternative to the Apple Watch 4 or the Samsung Galaxy Watch if you mostly just want notifications on your wrist and a bunch of apps to play with.
First reviewed: December 2018
Don't think the TicWatch C2 is going to cut it? Below we've listed some alternatives you may want to take a look at before making your decision.
TicWatch S
Sitting around the same price as the TicWatch C2, this is an alternative from the company that you may want. The slightly nicer design is the main highlight here.
You will miss out on extras like being able to use Google Pay on your watch though. If you're really set on a Mobvoi watch, you'll like the look of the next device below too.
- Read our TicWatch S review
TicWatch Pro
One of the oddest smartwatches on the market right now, the TicWatch Pro features two different screens. The company has managed to put a full color display on top of a monochrome display that's used to display the time when your watch is running out of battery.
This costs more money than the TicWatch C2, but if you're looking for a smartwatch that has some class as well as a top-end feature like the dual screen display, you may like what the Pro offers.
- Read our TicWatch Pro review
Samsung Galaxy Watch
At the time of writing this is our favorite smartwatch money can buy, and the premium look is part of the reason why.
