WATCH: Gory First Trailer for Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's 'Dracula'

The first trailer for Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's Dracula miniseries has been released, and it's definitely a tense and atmospheric affair.

The creepy 45-second teaser features bloody hands, nuns sharpening knives, and Claes Bang's title character seemingly making a move on his next victim. "Try and stay calm," he says in a rather sinister manner. "You're doing very well."

Check it out below – as long as you think you can stomach it!

Written and created by former Doctor Who showrunner Moffat and Gatiss, who also teamed up for the Emmy-winning Sherlock, Dracula is being billed as a "reinvention" of Bram Stoker's iconic tale. Three 90-minute episodes finished filming in August and will air on Netflix in the U.S. and BBC One in the U.K. Jonny Campbell (Westworld); Damon Thomas (Killing Eve), and Paul McGuigan (Sherlock) each directed an episode.

Netflix's official synopsis teases: "This retelling of the classic story follows Dracula from his origins in Eastern Europe to his battles with Van Helsing’s descendent and beyond.”

When Danish actor Bang was cast as the blood-loving count last November, he said of his version of the classic baddie: "Yes he’s evil, but there’s also so much more to him: he’s charismatic, intelligent, witty and sexy. I realize that there’s a lot to live up to with all the amazing people that have played him over the years, but I feel so privileged to be taking on this incredible character."

Bang's co-stars in the miniseries include Lyndsey Marshal (The League Of Gentlemen), Chanel Cresswell (This Is England), Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game), Lydia West (Years & Years), Paul Brennen (Happy Valley), Sarah Niles (Catastrophe), Sofia Oxenham (Poldark), John McCrea (God’s Own Country), Phil Dunster (Humans), and TV newcomer Millicent Wong.

Frankly, it's all shaping up to be a bloody good drama!

Are you excited to see how Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have put their own spin on Dracula?

    As a proud member of the BHS Social Studies Department, I welcome you to my class! I have taught in both social studies and special education for nineteen years, beginning my career at Churchville-Chili HS in 1995 after graduating from SUNY Geneseo. I left teaching in 2004 to stay home with my newborn twins, Aidan & Grace. When my children began Kindergarten, I returned to teaching, first at  Webster Schroeder High School and then here at BHS in 2010. This year I am teaching four sections of AP Psychology and one section of Law & Government.  I have a deep passion for the social sciences and love opening students' minds to the worlds both within and around them on this increasingly interconnected planet.

    This website is the currently a cursory source of information for each course I teach. I use the  learning management system SCHOOLOGY during the school year. ALL course materials and assignments will be found there for each class. Students will be enrolled at the start of the school year. Parents will also have access then.

Office brew: DIPA

This month my brother Connor, his boyfriend Pete and I find ourselves trying to brew a beer on our Grainfather with the theme ‘Manchester’.

This month my brother Connor, his boyfriend Pete and I find ourselves trying to brew a beer on our Grainfather with the theme ‘Manchester’. “What is a Manchester themed beer?” we ponder. Racking our brains, we think of all the things we know about this great city of the North.

It is, most obviously, the music city that gave birth to The Smiths, Joy Division and New Order, The Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses and, perhaps those most Mancunian of brothers, the Gallaghers.

Aside from its famed musical legacy, the city is home to an array of British institutions: everything from Coronation Street to Anthony Burgess (author of The Clockwork Orange), City and United football clubs, Marks & Spencer, Rolls-Royce and Vimto.

Although admittedly tempted by the challenge of brewing a Vimto beer, we decide to park that idea for the time being and instead take inspiration from Manchester’s most famous modern brewer, Cloudwater. Having rocketed to the top 10 brewers in the world on RateBeer within just two years of opening, its DIPA series has won fans around the world.

First stop on our DIPA odyssey is Edinburgh’s Brew Store (, where the everhelpful Theo gives us some great advice for this month’s project. He’s excited to know that we’re going to brew a Cloudwater-inspired Double IPA and promptly brings us a bottle of his own. “Something like this?” he asks, handing us a glass of juicy, murky, hoppy beer. It’s exactly what we have in mind. Loaded up with malt, sugar, a hell of a lot of hops and a vial of Vermont ale yeast, we head back to HQ to start our brew.

We start by filling the Grainfather with water and getting it up to the target mash temperature of 67 degrees Celsius. Carefully stirring in the flaked oats and malted barley, to avoid it clumping together, we also add sugar to give the yeast enough fuel to get us up to our target ABV of 8%. On Theo’s recommendations, we also add a teaspoon of calcium chloride, which will help to bring out the juicy flavours of the hops.

After mashing, we lift the grain basket to sit on top of the Grainfather, and pour additional hot water through it to drain out every last drop of sweetness from the grains.

Discarding the grain, we are left with the liquid wort. To this, we add a very small amount of bittering hops; 25g of Magnum pellets. Boiling for one hour, this will give our DIPA a slight bitterness, but nothing overwhelming.

After cooling to 80 degrees C, we add a mammoth haul of hops. Packing a punch with 300g of aroma hops in all, this is going to be one hell of a juice bomb. After cooling down to room temperature, we transfer this green, murky slurry into our carboy, being absolutely certain that everything that comes in contact with the beer has been boiled and sterilised from this point on. We shake up our little vial of yeast and pitch it into the mix (note: remove your yeast from the fridge three hours before pitching).

So, that’s it; we wish our yeast good luck and the three of us anxiously anticipate the chance to drink it together in a few weeks’ time.

LAST MONTH'S BREW - Newcastle Brown Ale

Last month, we tried our hands at recreating the famous Newcastle Brown Ale. A simple but enjoyable beer, it pours dark amber in colour with a light carbonation. We spend a lot of time drinking adventurous beer styles, so it was fun to revisit a classic, often underrated style.

Global ADT - 1st Edition 2020

Published: 23 September 2020
Download Magazine

Inside Track

It goes without saying that 2020 will be remembered as an extraordinary year. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our lives and livelihoods, created global uncertainty, and changed the way we interact with one another. Sanitising and social distancing have been adopted as the ‘new normal’ and Bell Equipment is doing everything in our control to keep our stakeholders safe and healthy.

Along with the rest of the world, we are constantly monitoring and adapting to the changing environment to limit the impact on all our operations as far as possible. Signs of recovery can be seen in several key markets and there has been interest for the supply of equipment to large international projects. We believe that we have the capacity and the people to recover from the delay the virus caused at the beginning of the year.

The fundamental strength of our product range and the quality of our distributor and support networks will count for us in the post COVID-19 recovery. The group is also well positioned with solutions for autonomous operations in a low-touch, post COVID-19 world as you will read in our lead story about our new Low Profile Articulated Dump Trucks for underground mining.

In this edition we feature another new product, the Bell Tracked Carrier, which was on display for the first time at CONEXPO, Las Vegas in the United States in March. The show feels like a lifetime ago, but we are extremely grateful to those visitors and customers who supported the exhibition and came to see our exciting niche product.

We look forward to the opportunity to attend trade shows and network with our customers face-to-face again. Our sights are firmly set on Intermat 2021 but until then we trust you will enjoy reading about our customers from around the globe and their experiences with our Bell trucks.

Stay safe!

All-in-one breast milk container

In the first months of life, young mothers are kept particularly busy by their little one. Playing, cuddling and now and again a little walk - a well-filled daily routine is the name of the game. So that mothers can also treat themselves to a relaxing break once in a while, the simple and easy solution is to express their milk. The Nuk Nature Sense Breast Milk Container serves as an all-in-one solution that you can use not only to express your healthy, nutritious milk for your baby, but also to store, prepare and then later feed with it.

The special feature of this breast milk container: the integrated breast pump adapter ensures that you can easily express your milk directly into the container with the help of a Nuk manual or electric breast pump with no need to transfer it. The practical silicone sealing disc then prevents the liquid leaking and ensures that it can be carried with you or stored safely. The breast milk containers can be easily stacked, as they do not fall over thanks to the anti-slip function of the silicone lid. When your baby's little tummy rumbles, you have the food ready straightaway and, together with the compatible Nuk Nature Sense Teats, not only is your little treasure’s hunger satisfied, they are also able to drink with a natural and pleasant flow.

As a mother, the Nature Sense breast milk container will let you enjoy more independence during the breastfeeding period and let you create the breathing space you need for the occasional refuelling and recharging of your batteries. Your baby will still get all the nutrients that are in your breast milk. Discover the practical features of these useful containers:

Express breast milk
The first step is to express the breast milk. The breast pump adapter is already integrated in this product and can be used with the manual or electric breast pumps from Nuk. From now on, you are less tied to feed times and can still maintain the natural production of your milk for further breastfeeding.

Store breast milk
Nature Sense breast milk containers ensure the reliable and hygienic storage of breast milk. Even homemade puree can be stored in these containers. Liquid baby food keeps in the refrigerator for a few days. Freezing is also possible and keeps milk fresh for up to six months.

Preparing breast milk
With the aid of Nuk's baby food warmers, gently warming up the breast milk or puree is no problem at all.

Feeding breast milk
Use the breast milk containers with the compatible Nuk Nature Sense Teats. Nuk are especially proud of this innovation, because they have come as close to nature as never before with this development. The several tiny openings of the teat are modelled on the milk ducts of the mother's breast. This lets your little treasure enjoy a completely familiar feeling when drinking and, above all, a natural flow. We recommend hole size S for feeding breast milk.

(Nuk Teats are not included).

  • All-in-One Breast Milk Container: expressing, storing, warming and feeding breast milk, no transferring
  • Can be used with all Nuk Nature Sense Teats
  • Includes adapter, for connecting Nuk Breast Pumps to Nuk Nature Sense Baby Bottles
  • Also suitable for storing puree
  • Breast milk container, high-quality polypropylene, screw ring and silicone sealing discs, BPA-free, 2 per pack

About Nuk

60 years ago, the first Nuk Products came onto the market. A lot has changed since then. But what has stayed the same is a baby’s need for love and a feeling of safety. And the desire of you, their parents, to make the best start in life possible for them. Nuk wants to support you in doing that today, tomorrow and in the future.

The anniversary is celebrated with the campaign “60 Years of Inspiration” since nothing could be more inspiring than life with a baby and all the wonderful moments, little miracles, and adventures parents experience with them.

A peaceful, 340km long, round trip, trough the eastern Brandenburg and Berlin

Those who want to get to know untouched and calm nature, far away from the busy inland-waterways of Germany and who ideally already have some boating-experience, will find exactly what they are looking for on the Berlin-Oder-Round-Trip.

This round trip is an interesting mix of the metropolis Berlin and the mostly calm and untouched, natural rivers, the Polish neighbor east of the Oder, impressive monuments of the industrial history, like the ship lift Niederfinow and the Finowkanal, Germany’s oldest, still shippable canal and a multitude of interesting towns, that are worth a shore leave, like Fürstenwalde, Eisenhüttenstadt, Frankfurt (Oder), Eberswalde or Oranienburg. Those, amongst many more reasons, are why the Berlin-Oder-Round-Trip is an unique cruise experience. It is also worth mentioning, that this trip has a lot of possibilities to visit other nearby waterways and waters (as shown on the map below) and also many cycle paths along the tour. Here are some places, where you can rent bicycles.

6 hidden treasures of the Seychelles

Ilse de Roo - Seychellen - Best-kept travel secrets

The Seychelles are most definite a true paradise on earth. There are some amazing things to do on the islands, some beautiful things to see and some delicious places to eat. To show some of the unknown gems of the Seychelles, we are going to share 6 of the best-kept secrets of the islands.

I was in the Seychelles in 2017 and I fell in love with the island as soon as I landed. The reason why I fell in love was because of the amazing natural beauty, the laid-back, island living, the family social scene and the warm welcome I received. I spend my time with the locals and they showed me some amazing things.

The beauty called: Police Bay

Do you fancy some adventure? Take a drive down to Police Bay, right in the south of Mahé. It is quite a long ride, but it is worth it. The journey to Police Bay is exciting! The road winds in and out of dense forest. Drive on up the big hill past the turning for Anse Intendance, then you go back down again. Keep going past the little houses and you are there. The ocean can be wild, so it’s not a great beach for swimming, but it is such a beautiful spot.

The Mangrove Forest

Maybe you know the Vallee de Mai or Fond Ferdinand, these are definitely areas you need to visit if you are in the Seychelles. But did you know there is also an amazing mangrove forest? The mangrove forest at Port Launay is considered the best example of a healthy mangrove, and.. you can find all the seven species of mangrove, offering a unique environment for the spawning, nursery and feeding of many endemic fish species as well as nesting for birds and the endangered Sheath-tailed Bat.

The ‘not so secret beach’ Anse Source d’Argent

Looking for the most beautiful beach in the world? Then you should go to the Anse Source d’Argent beach on the island of La Digué. This beach is not really a secret, but you can’t go to the Seychelles without spending some time here. But there is a secret about this beach, and that is: good timing! It is best visited in the early morning before the daytrippers from Mahé and Praslin arrive. Another secret is that the beach extends past the first set of rocks. Not many people know this! Carry on along the beach to the south, either walking through the shallow waters or taking the path along the back of the beach and you will reach a much larger bay. There are many spots between rocks which you can make your own private beach!

Marie Antoinette Restaurant, a true local secret

Located in the heart of the capital, Victoria, lies a local secret, the Marie Antoinette Restaurant. This is one of the best places on Mahé to enjoy authentic and delicious Seychellois food prepared in a traditional way using all local organic ingredients.

From parrotfish and tuna steak to pumpkin chutney and aubergine fritters. The restaurant is set in an old colonial wooden house unchanged for nearly 100 years, the building itself has been declared a national monument. But dining here is less about sightseeing and more about eating good Seychellois food while soaking up the lively Creole atmosphere.

Waterfall at Port Glaud hidden in a tropical paradise

Signposted from the beach at Port Launay, adjacent to Constance Ephélia Mahé, this stunning waterfall is about a 1km walk from the main road. Set in the heart of the dense jungle, the waterfall tumbles into a clear, freshwater pool perfect for a swimming! After a refreshing dip you can lie back on warm granite rocks and breathe in the scents, sounds and sights of this leafy, tropical paradise.

Enjoy a local meal at Les Rochers Restaurant

Les Rochers is one of the hidden gems of Praslin island. It has no website, not even a Facebook page, tourist pass it by without even knowing it’s there, but it’s so good, it doesn’t have to be advertised! The restaurant was built using traditional methods, it’s made out of stone with a thatched roof and looks fantastic. The menu is mostly made up of fresh local fish and seafood served in a variety of local dishes. The atmosphere is always amazing, and the setting really is beautiful. Located on the coast road, it is a little out of the way. You’ll probably need a car or taxi from wherever you are staying on Praslin. But it is totally worth the trip though, so don’t miss out.

Hi there, my name is Ilse and I’m a travel enthusiast. When I travel to a destination, I like to explore the non-tourists areas and stumble upon hidden places and unknown gems. Follow my personal Instagram for more about me: @ilse.roo

The mundanity of a local council meeting in Alaska was astonishingly broken when a decision to open up the forum to all religions resulted in a Satanist presenting the opening prayer – to Lucifer.

When the local government of Kenai Borough decided to welcome other faiths to their assemblies they probably didn’t envisage opening up their doors to the Lord of Darkness.

On Tuesday, Iris Fontana – reportedly a member of the Satanic Temple organization that views Satan as a symbol for rebellion and rational inquiry – gave the assembly invocation usually reserved for pastors.

Meeting attendees were reminded that they did not have to participate in the opening ritual.

Assembly members stood silently in a circle while Fontana asked them to “embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge.” She then ended the surreal prayer with the words “Hail Satan.”

While traditional Satanism may invoke well-worn images of horned beasts, cloaked figures, and fiery underground lairs, the Satanic Temple is an atheist organization. Its website explains that it does not promote evil or the belief in supernatural beings.

“The Satanic Temple holds to the basic premise that undue suffering is bad, and that which reduces suffering is good. We do not believe in symbolic ‘evil.’ We embrace blasphemy as a legitimate expression of personal independence from counter-productive traditional norms,” it states.

Footage of the unorthodox assembly opening, which preceded a fairly humdrum meeting regarding a $138,000 paving project and changing a hospital boundary, has been posted on the Kenai Peninsula Borough website.

However, the excitement of a prayer to the supposedly God-banished angel has not gone down too well with some assembly members.

“I appreciate what the Assembly President’s doing with the prayer issue and trying to be fair, but I find it ironic that the prayer from the atheist wasn’t really about doing good and making good decisions,” assemblyman Dale Bagley told Radio Kenai.

He described the incident as “irritating” and questioned whether a local pastor would be allowed to make such a political statement.

Exposed!!! Read How MEND Entered An Agreement With Buhari!

One would wonder why MEND developed such a serious interest in the freedom of Nnamdi Kanu. But the obvious reason is not far fetched.

Recall that Henry Okah, the leader of Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta  (MEND ) was arrested in Angola in 2008 and was charged with 62 counts of treason, terrorism, illegal possession of firearms and arms trafficking.

Henry Okah was championing the movement for the emancipation of his people, the Niger Deltans, from obvious marginalization and total neglect, being the goose that lays the golden egg. "Truly, the people saw and still see little benefit from the oil being pumped out from under them."

Having seen that the Nigerian state was not civilized and hence no respecter of peaceful agitations, as they killed Ken Sari Wiwa who peacefully agitated for his people, by concocting false charges against him and giving him death penalty, Henry Okah ventured into an armed struggle against the government and was later arrested and charged to court.

In July 2009, Okah's lawyer announced that he has accepted an amnesty, which had been offered by the Nigerian government to any rebel willing to lay down their arms, in a bid to end attacks on the oil industry.

On July 13, 2009, Judge Mohammed Liman announced that Okah was released, telling him in person "Having reviewed what the Attorney General said, you have become a free man at this moment."

But Henry Okah landed himself into another trouble and was arrested in Johannesburg on Saturday, October 2 following a bomb attack on Nigeria's Independence Day 2010 that killed 12 people, a responsibility of which he refused to accept.

On Monday, January 21 2013, a South African court convicted Okah of 13 charges of terrorism, including bombings that killed 12 people in Abuja on October 1, 2010. Handing down the verdict, Judge Nels Claassen said, "I have come to the conclusion that the state proved beyond reasonable doubt the guilt of the accused." He has been sentenced to 24 years imprisonment and is currently serving this sentence at the Ebongweni Correctional Centre in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

But Nnamdi Kanu who is championing the freedom of his people from subjugation and British-forced marriage of 1914 was also arrested but on frivolous charges ranging from terrorism and terrorism financing, belonging to an unlawful society, to a treasonable felony.

Nnamdi Kanu's unconditional release was ordered by Justice Adeniyi Ademola on 17th December 2015 but President Muhamadu Buhari who is above the law he swore to uphold refused to effect the order of that competent court.

Muhamadu Buhari has looked for every way to nail Nnamdi Kanu but  he has failed in every move he has made, he started with Ralph Uwazurike of Biafra Independent Movement (BIM)  he failed; he resorted to Ohaneze Ndigbo but they failed to produce expected results; he then ran to Billie Human Rights Initiatives, Biafra Council of Elders but they all failed him.

Every group was coming up with an idea on how to quench Kanu's Biafra agitation hence MEND saw it as the best opportunity to release their leader, Henry Okah.

They went to meet with Buhari and posited that what he (Buhari) was looking for in London is right here in his palms. That Nnamdi Kanu's agitation will be a forgotten issue if he (Buhari ) could agree to release Henry Okah, and his younger brother, Charles Okah, assuring Muhamadu Buhari that they will get Nnamdi Kanu to renounce his Biafra agitation either by hook or by crook.

Unfortunately, MEND failed in their attempts hence they had to resort to cheap a blackmail.

If MEND did not have their own agenda and was sincerely making moves about Kanu's release, they  wouldn't have said that Biafra agitators want to annex Niger Delta as part of their territories.

But let it be known to Buhari, DSS,  MEND, BIM, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Council of Elders and any other group(s) or person(s) who want(s) to sabotage the genuine efforts of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, that all their attempts and strategies are failed on arrivals because Biafra is ordained by Chukwu-Okike Abiama.

To Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, it's "Biafra or Death" and eventually, Biafra shall be restored as a Sovereign State.

Therefore, I advice Buhari  to free Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally as ordered by Honourable Justice Adeniyi Ademola before it becomes too late!

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(A)

37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.(B) 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;(C) a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.(D)

44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:(E) Everything must be fulfilled(F) that is written about me in the Law of Moses,(G) the Prophets(H) and the Psalms.”(I)

45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer(J) and rise from the dead on the third day,(K) 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name(L) to all nations,(M) beginning at Jerusalem.(N) 48 You are witnesses(O) of these things.

Bowers of the Bower Bird in the Arfak Mountains

by Charles Roring
I woke up immediately from a cold night and hard sleep and walked to the front room to prepare our breakfast when Rhett's alarm clock rang at 5 a.m. It was 31 July.  While pouring hot water into my glass to make my morning coffee, Zakaria (our local field guide) and Rhett Bulter - founder of came. I asked Zaka to call Elyakim (our birdman) to have breakfast together. I reminded him to bring my flash light so that we could use it again to climb one of the summits of the Arfak mountains while it was still dark.
We would hike this morning to see Western parotia and vogelkop bowerbirds perform their courtship dances seducing their female birds. I and our two Papuans field guides drank coffee while Rhett had lemon tea. We ate bread and biscuits. A few minutes before 5.30, we began walking from our base camp. Maria, another tour guide, who was boiling some water greeted us and told us to be careful along our trip to the mountain.
It was very cold at 1,400 meters above sea level where the tourist basecamp was located. We began climbing the mountain to 1700 meters and then 2200 meters and then 2400 meters above sea level just to see the bower birds and western parotia.
Our base camp was separated with the mountain that we would be climbing on by a river whose cool water chills the atmosphere of the Syioubri village. The water  stream continuously change the mountainous rocks into rounded and smooth granite stones where we walked on them. After crossing the river, the terrain slowly changed from flat ground to steep slope around 70 degrees quite difficult for a beginning hiker like me :-(.
While most of the villagers in the Syioubri village were still sleeping, birds in the tropical rainforest of Arfak Mountains had woken up welcoming the sunrise. Up we went slowly navigated by my flashlight and guided by our two Papuan birdman and porter.
When we had been walking for 30 minutes, my body temperature rose. I was fully sweating now and I did not feel effected by the cold atmosphere around me. I pulled down the zipper of my jacket, opened and folded it and then put it into my travel bag. The sun had just risen in the East started to brighten the canopy of the rainforest of the Arfak mountains. I did not need my flashlight anymore. I turned it off and put it back into my travel bag again.
We continued climbing the mountain until we reached a clear ground where some male Western Parotia usually performed their courtship dance to attract their females. We stopped here. Our field guides asked Rhett to enter a small bird watching hut. When he had been inside with his cameras, we covered it again with fresh Pandanus leaves and left Rhett Butler alone in the hut. I and the two field guides climbed the mountain again for around 5 minutes. We would be waiting for him for 1 hour to record the courtship dance that would be performed by the male western parotia. We had been sitting on the ground that was covered with moss when suddenly the rain started to fall. First, it was only a light rain. But later after around ten minutes, it became harder making it impossible for Male Western Parotia to perform his courtship dance. The ground where the bird would perform his dance was now muddy. I and Elyakim walked down to call Rhett to continue hiking to reach the hut that had been built for watching bower bird. It was another 30 minutes hiking. The hut was big enough to accommodate two people. When we arrived at the hut, we could hear the sound of male bower bird on the branches of the trees above us. Rhett hurriedly entered the bird watching hut. Elyakim, our birdman took some bright objects from his bag and put them on the ground not far from the bower. He expected that the bowerbird would come down to take the objects and decorate his bower. Again I and the two field guides climbed the Arfak mountain to a base camp located some 1700 meters above sea level. Here, we would wait for Rhett to film the vogelkop bowerbird performing the courtship dance until 9 a.m. It's very cold here, I wore my jacket again.
While waiting at the basecamp, I saw a male white shouldered fairy wren was being chased by female birds. It's weird to see such scene. If male bower birds try hard to decorate their bowers and perform their best courtship dance, the male white shouldered fairy wren birds do not need to seduce their females. They have abundant females that are willing to chase them the whole day. At that time I saw two female  white shouldered bird chased one male. It was 8.30 a.m. when I saw the birds of white shouldered fairy wren. The male bird had dark feather with white band decorate his shoulder. The female birds had brown feather. At first I did not know their names but Elyakim opened his Bird of New Guinea book and showed the pictures of the birds and their names.
We walked down to meet Rhett Butler at the bird watching hut when my mobile phone watch indicated that it was 9.15. Rhett said that the bower birds did not come down to their bowers. So, we climbed the Arfak mountain again to see more bowers at an elevation of around 2200 - 2400 meters above sea level. At these heights, we could see some more bowers decorated with natural bright ornaments instead of plastics and plates at bowers on the lower level 1700 meters above sea level. Unfortunately, there was no bird watching hut which had been constructed by our birdmen for tourists to see the bower bird dancing and seducing their female birds. I took some photographs of these magnificent structure which had been built by bower birds. Bowers are not nests. Bower birds are great architect that build their bowers without any mathematical calculation. Perhaps they build the structure using their animal instinct through a lot of trials and errors. Young bower birds have to learn from their adult counterparts the art of bower building and the art of courtship dance to attract their female bower birds. Somewhere on the summits of the Arfak mountains, male bower birds that are kings of the art of seduction perform their courtship dance to attract and seduce their females far from human civilization where love is now getting more materialistic than pure natural heart expression. by Charles Roring.

Scarlet Jade Vine Flowers in Manokwari forest

Scarlet Jade Vine
Scarlet Jade Vine
This is the photograph of Scarlet Jade Vine (Mucuna bennetti) flowers that I see in the lowland forest of Manokwari. It is also called New Guinea creeper. The plant climbs trees that grow near the river to get enough sunlight and water. Huge number of red flowers bloom from the solid stems and twigs of the liana vines that are "wrapping" their parent trees.
The massive number of flowers in the trees creates an impression as if they are burning in flames. There are also other species of tropical flowers that we can see in the lowland forest of Manokwari if we go hiking, camping, birding and wildlife watching.
One of them is Blue Trumpet Vine (Thunbergia grandiflora) flowers that hang on big trees in the forest edges. Their petals are blue and yellowish white in their center hole.

These vine flowers need a lot of light to grow. That's why they cannot grow under the canopy of the forest. They can be found growing in the the forest edges along the rivers or in the forest that have got some open areas.

A Little Something About Xilnex

Nobody likes going into business with total strangers, so here’s a little something about Xilnex so you can get comfy with them.

Having been in business since 2007, Xilnex has made it their mission to simplify sales for their clients.

Starting off in just a humble office in Penang, Xilnex have grown to provide their services to clients all over Malaysia, as well as neighbouring countries like Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia.

They’ve recently expanded and built a new office in Kuala Lumpur, and currently has over 100 staff under their payroll. Not bad at all, for a bootstrapped self-made company.

But what do they do that actually simplify sales for their customers?

Well lads, let’s find out.

xilnex has comprehensive features

8 Things That Xilnex Did Right

1. Xilnex is Windows-based

If you know me in person, you’ll know that I’m an avid supporter of Windows-based products. I love how much software integration it has, I love how familiar it feels, I love how much cheaper the hardware is, although it is known to be quite buggy.

Most importantly, I can customize my computer’s hardware in accordance with what I need at a price point that doesn’t make me want to shoot myself.

Since the Xilnex POS program is Windows-based, you can use any old computer you’ve got lying around, as long as the hardware meets the minimum recommended specifications.

In other words, you don’t need to spend extra to run the POS as long as you have an old computer lying around!

Keep in mind though, that if you probably might want to invest in Xilnex’s accessories like their cash drawer and barcode scanner. 3rd party ones don’t always play well with specially made programs, so you might want to go with Xilnex’s recommended hardware.

2. POS system is super comprehensive

Xilnex POS has one of the most comprehensive systems I’ve ever seen.

From the main menu, we were presented with 5 main tabs (Master data, Sales, Inventory, Listing & Marketing) and within those tabs, you’ll find options that enable you to do whatever you can imagine doing in a POS system

The Master Data tab is where you’ll key in information regarding your products, clients, vendors, table management, delivery instructions, etc. This is where you’ll find yourself spending most of your time in the beginning, because you’ll need to fill in all your product details here for the POS to work.

The Sales tab is where the POS system comes to life. It’s where sales invoices, quotations, consignments, safebox, order fulfilment, and most importantly, POS systems are.

You’ll find an extensive list of inventory controls under the Inventory tab, and most of your reports can be generated from the Listing tab.

Finally, we come upon the Marketing tab where you’ll be able to control your promotions, loyalty programs, vouchers, and even SMS marketing.

Note that we’re only scratching the tip of the iceberg here; Xilnex’s system is definitely capable of so much more, we just didn’t have the time to figure everything out.

There is definitely a steep learning curve to the POS, but once you’ve crossed that threshold, you’ll be happy with the functionalities that Xilnex is able to provide.

3. The best thing about Cloud POS – Remote access

Personally, this is the one feature that makes me feel that regular POS systems just can’t cut it anymore. If you’ve got multiple outlets or if you’re always travelling, there is no way for you to check on each individual outlet’s sales performance unless you get to an outlet where you can physically access the POS.

With Cloud POS, you’ll be able to check on each individual outlet wherever you are, straight from Xilnex’s Web App.

The web app allows you to perform complex functions on the go, like creating promotion campaigns, generate reports, terminal monitoring, check attendance, deal with vendors, etc.

In short, you’ll be able to check and create tasks wherever you are, whenever you want. Just make sure that you’ve got an internet connection and you’re good to go!

(Back To Top)

4. Extensive membership system

You know, one of the best ways to create brand loyalty is to make your customers feel special.

They’ve gotta be given that VIP treatment, that whenever they walk into your shop, they feel welcomed, known by name, served their favourite items, and given their privileged discounts all without having to say a word.

This was only possible if your staff or waiters are trained well enough to remember your customers, but staff will not stick around forever and you lose precious time retraining new people to remember the same old things.

With Xilnex’s customer categorization feature, all you need to do is to key in your customer’s details once, and your staff will be able to pull up their information every time this customer steps into the outlet.

They’ll be able to see which item they ordered the most, so they’ll know what the customer’s favourites are. You can also assign discounts to loyal customers, so they’ll be given promotion privileges without having to ask for it.

This feature also makes it easy for your customers to collect vouchers. Every time your customer makes a purchase, their points will be automatically added into the system.

You can even create birthday specials, so that your customers can enjoy special treats on you if they walk in during their birthdays!

5. Shopify integration for e-commerce

Shopify’s award-winning e-commerce platform is integrated with Xilnex, and that’s a big deal because it means that your Shopify online store can be easily imported into the Xilnex ecosystem, and easily managed from one account!

This is particularly awesome because our favourite POS provider so far (StoreHub) uses their own proprietary platform for e-commerce, which means that users will have to rebuild their online stores from scratch if they want to be in the StoreHub ecosystem.

Xilnex provides a nice alternative, especially if you started off online looking to expand offline. Best part of all this is that importing your Shopify store into Xilnex’s ecosystem is completely FREE!

This only applies to Shopify hosted websites though! You’ll have to pay a sum if your online store is built on another platform.

6. A long list of e-Payment options

I recently went on a dinner outing with friends, and when it was time to split the bill, cash wasn’t even considered. One person paid the bill, and we all paid him back just using our e-wallets.

The reason I shared my experience is because e-wallet adoption rate is still considered to be in its infancy, but Malaysians are adopting e-wallets and payments really fast, and we’re not surprised; it’s quick, convenient, secure and provides value in terms of points.

So if you don’t have any e-Payment options, your outlet will be known as that outdated old fuddy-duddy shop that needs to get on with the times. Also, very inconvenient!

With Xilnex, you can provide your customers with a long list of e-Payment options:

  • TNG
  • MOL
  • Alipay
  • Boost

  • QRPay
  • Fave
  • Razer Pay
  • WeChat Pay

This may not sound like something to write home about, but it’s actually quite a big deal. Having an e-Payment option makes your business look good, and gives tech and value savvy customers a reason to return!

* No credit card required.

7. Unique employee attendance verification

Yes, we are aware that other POS machines have their own methods of taking employee attendance, but from our experience, those systems can be easily abused and sidestepped with the correct information.

Xilnex ups the employee attendance tracking game by providing a unique way to track attendance – via Thumbprint scanning.

There is no way employees can cheat or sign in on their colleague’s behalf, unless the delinquent employee is willing to give up their thumb just to skip work.

If you don’t want to go with thumbprint verification, Xilnex allows your employees to clock-in via RFID. All you have to do is to assign RFID activated cards to your employees, and they can tap to clock-in, similar to how most modern offices track employee attendance.

RFID tap in via phone is currently unavailable, but it’s in the pipeline so we should see it implemented soon.

8. Purchase hardware & enjoy POS for 6 months FREE

This has to be our most favourite feature about Xilnex so far – If you purchase any of their Hardware Bundles , you’ll get to enjoy 6 months of free subscription for their POS service.

There honestly isn’t much to write about for this, except that the value you get is worth up to RM1,734. That’s not bad at all, considering the annual cost for the enterprise plan is already RM3,456. However, we DID discover something that smells a little fishy regarding this, but we’ll get to that later in the article.

(Back To Top)

Things We Didn’t Like About Xilnex

There are a lot of things that Xilnex did right, but there’s also a fair share of things that can be improved. Some of them annoying, some downright frustrating.

1. It has a steep learning curve

Xilnex’s POS system is very thorough and comprehensive, but that comes at the cost of simplicity. The more features something has, the more difficult it is for people to learn how to use.

This is so true for Xilnex.

One look at Xilnex’s features and you’ll know that it’s capable of doing great things. However, you’ll need to spend time learning the software and the nuances of its various functions. Time that most of us do not have.

You’ll have to think about training your staff to use the software too, and keep in mind that not all of them will be able to learn fast.

Xilnex offers a free 2 hour Skype training if you purchase their hardware bundles, but we get the feeling that it won’t be enough for the average user to learn the in-and-outs of the program.

Fortunately, Xilnex has a knowledge base that is quite extensive, so if you’re patient enough to go through that to figure things out, you’re all set.

(Back To Top)

2. It is not very sexy

We’ve got to preface this by saying that our favourite cloud POS system so far is StoreHub, and we fell in love with their sleek user interface and all round positive user experience. Basically, anybody can learn how to use it in under an hour.

So coming from that experience to this is a little… underwhelming.

The interface does not look dated, but it doesn’t look polished. It’s a little clunky to use, and it’s not as intuitive. We found that some of the buttons were placed at places in locations which didn’t quite make sense, which made us wonder what they were thinking when they designed the UI.

Xilnex’s overly complicated menus does not help improve the user experience either.

The staggering amount of features already feels overwhelming. Combine that with a button placement that feels like it wasn’t very well thought out made using the system feel quite frustrating.

Having said all that, I think that once you get used to the weirdness of the system, you’ll find a POS program that’s packed with useful features. It just doesn’t feel this way when you first start using it.

The web app fares a little better and looks a little cleaner, but also fails to impress in terms of looks. It also doesn’t feel as responsive as it could be, so points are docked for that.

In short, the user experience isn’t bad, it’s just… okay.

(Back To Top)

3. The steep pricing model

As small business owners, we understand the need to keep costs as low as possible.

Their entry-level subscription starts from RM108 per month, which costs almost double the price of StoreHub’s entry-level subscription.

Sure, they offer more services and more features, but they also introduce bigger headaches and complexities with their system.

However, they do provide 6 months of free subscription if you purchase their hardware bundles, but more on that as you read on.

(Back To Top)

4. Lacklustre live chat support

Support is arguably one of the key factors for me in choosing a service, especially if my business relies on that service every single day.

I was quite disappointed to find that Xilnex’s live chat support is only available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm only.

It doesn’t help that their regular live chat support is slow to respond.

Maybe I was dealing with somebody new, but it seemed like every single question I asked had to be vetted first before given an answer, which obviously takes up time.

If I was in a hurry and needed an answer as quickly as possible, all this waiting around would’ve made me lose my cool real quick.

But credit where credit is due, their technical live chat support team is excellent (I have no idea why their regular support and tech support are two different teams).

They were quick to respond and was very helpful in solving an issue I had with the POS software installation, which we’ll get to later.

Phone support is available every day from 9am to 11pm, so all is not lost if your business runs every day of the week.

Thing is, if they can get staff to work on the weekends for phone support, why can’t they get staff to handle live chat as well?

(Back To Top)

5. Software doesn’t feel polished

I’ve got to preface this by saying that these issues I encountered could just be an isolated incident due to the machine I was running the program on, but it bothered me enough to make it part of this list.

The installation of the software did not go smoothly. The first time I tried installing, It gave me an error that I couldn’t fix, so I tried a fresh install.

xilnex software installation is problematic

Same error.

After the third try and subsequent failure, I contacted their tech support team to see if they could solve the issue, and they had to remotely fix it via Teamviewer. The whole process took under an hour and I was pleased with the results.

Then I tried to actually use the software and wondered if I did something wrong in the process, because while the application managed to start, nothing seemed to work.

Tech support had to step in again, do a round of troubleshooting via Teamviewer and proceeded with another fresh install, after which the program worked.

xilnex tech support can help

Kudos to the responsive tech support team!

Now the last thing you want when you’re running a business with people lining up to pay, is for your POS system to not work.

Guess what.

The POS system crashed on me 3 times within an hour of trying to learn how to use it.

Now, this is a nitpicky little mild annoyance – they didn’t provide a “remember password” button on the login page, so I had to pull up my password list to rekey in my password every time it crashed (don’t judge me okay, I have a lot of passwords).

So the issues above could be an isolated incident with my machine (I sure hope it is) so take my annoyance with a grain of salt.

I know I mentioned earlier that I love Windows-based systems, but in this instance, it’s to be expected. StoreHub gets the upper hand here running on IOS, because they all run on the same kind of hardware. Apps built to run on Windows have to deal with all sorts of different hardware, so some issues are likely to crop up.

I’ve been using the Xilnex system for a few days now, and it no longer crashes. Hopefully it stays that way.

Xilnex Plans & Features: Overview

With the team at Xilnex being as comprehensive and thorough as they are with their POS system, you can sure as hell bet that they’ve got a comprehensive subscription plan laid out for each tier of their users.

Soho Lite

Price /mo

Product Listing

Key Function
Multi-Location Linkage
All Function Unlocked

Best For
New Business
Medium-Large Corporation

Xilnex recommends the Standard plan, and we have to agree with them. It seems to provide you with the best bang for buck, without sacrificing many important functions like their Soho Lite plan does.

It allows you to have:

  • Multi-location linkage – great for franchises
  • POS with inventory system (Soho Lite only has POS system)
  • Promotion control
  • Advanced web report
  • Immediate email support

I think that the Standard plan is a nice balance between features and price, but it all depends on you and what you’re willing to pay for a POS system subscription.

* Recommended for franchises!
** No commitment or long-term contract required.

If the Standard plan is too pricey for now, the Soho Lite plan works very well, and you can upgrade when business starts to grow. If that still feels pricey, you might want to check out StoreHub’s Lite plan, which only costs RM59 a month.

Xilnex Hardware Bundle: Overview

xilnex offers hardware bundle

Depending on the type of business you run, you can pick the bundle that’s best suited for your needs.

Hardware – SOHO Business

  • Price: RM3,199.00
  • 10 inch tablet
  • Cash drawer
  • Printer
  • USB hub
  • 2-hour teleconsultation
  • Barcode scanner
  • CloudPOS Lite 6-month subscription

Hardware – Retail Business

  • Price: RM4,000.00 RM3,699.00 (Sale)
  • 10 inch tablet
  • Cash drawer
  • Printer
  • USB hub
  • 2-hour teleconsultation
  • Barcode scanner
  • CloudPOS Standard 6-month subscription

Hardware – F&B Business

  • Price: RM4,099.00
  • 10 inch tablet
  • Cash drawer
  • Printer
  • USB hub
  • 2-hour teleconsultation
  • Barcode scanner
  • CloudPOS F&B 6-month subscription

I feel like the hardware bundles are no different from each other, as they provide you with exactly the same hardware for each bundle.

The only difference lies in the version of CloudPOS subscription that you get. With the Soho bundle, you’ll get to enjoy the Lite version. Retail nets you the Standard version while F&B should get you the Enterprise version.

I say should, because it’s stated as CloudPOS F&B on their page, but there isn’t a CloudPOS F&B version on their pricing page.

This feels like a whole lot of smoke & mirrors as the savings you get from their “free” 6 months subscriptions aren’t as large as they make it out to be.

You’ll still be enjoying a minor discount on the subscription when you purchase their bundles. But basically, if you do the math, you’ll be paying for the “free” 6 months subscription in the bundle.

If you don’t feel like purchasing their bundles, Xilnex allows you to purchase their hardware ala-carte, while using whatever existing hardware you own. Just make sure to check with support to see if it’s compatible with the program.

Verdict: What Do We Think About Xilnex

I really wanted to like Xilnex’s CloudPOS. I really did.

They’ve got so many things right, but the whole experience of using their POS system was just… well, not bad, but it wasn’t good either.

Their UI looked doesn’t look dated, yet it doesn’t look well designed. It felt clunky at times, while the bugginess of the initial installation and first run didn’t do much to boost my confidence in the product.

The good thing about Xilnex is that it’s a very comprehensive system, with many features that other POS providers may not have, but in doing so, they sacrificed simplicity, making their product difficult to use.

What’s the point of a feature packed system if nobody knows how to use it? I’d very much prefer to go with something much simpler that everyone can use.

It feels like they’re trying to please too many sectors with their system, which results in an experience that isn’t particularly pleasant. When you compare their UI and UX to StoreHub’s POS, the difference in experience becomes more apparent (StoreHub sparks joy while Xilnex just manages to produce sparks).

However, if you can get past their steep learning curve, I am confident that you’ll be more than happy with the value provided through their extensive services.

They’ve got Shopify integration, a super long list of e-Payment options, unlimited inventory and a crazy amount of quality-of-life POS system functions that would put most other POS providers to shame.

They just need to figure out a way to simplify everything and improve their UX while maintaining the same amount of features.

Xilnex’s CloudPOS gets a strong 7 out of 10 from me.

* Highly recommended for new businesses.
** No commitment or long-term contract required.

"Downloads" section transfer coming soon !

ehhh...didn't really wanted to do that but looks like i've been almost forced to...because of really stupid new policy introduced by currently used hoster Rapidshare...i was satisfied and very happy with their service but when the whole ACTA and piracy issue emerged if i've still used their service You and i wouldn't be able to use main service that the hoster provided which is simply DOWNLOADING FILES !

so bye, bye Rapidshare

and warm welcome to :

I have used Zippyshare for a while and have to say that they provide quite decent download and upload speeds and most of all it's:

100% Free
No Download Limits
Up to 200MB per File
Unlimited Disk Space
No Sign Up Required

I've chosen them considering the above features which will make our life and download easier and free but maybe not all of us will be satisfied as the zippy hoster will not provide as good ( ! FREE ! ) service as other famous payed hosters.
My current subscription period for Rapidshare expires on 2013-01-22 so i will download the whole section and re-upload it to Zippyshare in a few days.It will take a while as the section went up to more than 20 GB ! and i have a full DVD concert still to be organized and uploaded as a small gift and Thank You for the approaching 100 000 visitor count ;-)

So stay tuned and i will let You know by posting here and the Facebook Page when the whole transition will be complited !

Know Your Enemy: Toronto Blue Jays

New, 3 comments

The Cubs head north of the border this year for the first time since 2008.

Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports

Mark these dates on your calendar: September 8, 9 and 10.

That's when the Cubs head north to visit the Blue Jays in the Rogers Centre, and I'd give better-than-even odds that if Jeff Samardzija has a start in that series, it will be in the blue-and-white uniform of the Blue Jays.

I have nothing to base that on other than a hunch, and of course whether the Blue Jays are in contention or not, which they probably think they will be, but...

Toronto spent a ton of money in the 2012-13 offseason and made multiple trades and put their players in snazzy new uniforms that evoked the original era of the Jays, and promptly sank to the bottom of the American League East. And when I say "promptly," I mean it -- the Jays were 10-21 and 10½ games out of first place on May 4. Even the Cubs' record was better than that on that date (okay, so not a lot better, 11-19). Toronto made a run (that included an impressive 11-game winning streak) back to .500 at 41-41 in early July, but sank back to last place.

Have they improved their lot since last year?

I'd have to say "not really." The only real change to their starting lineup is the addition of former Cub Dioner Navarro to catch. They did this primarily because the previous incumbent, J.P. Arencibia, hit a Koyie Hill-esque .194/.227/.365 (59 OPS+) last year. Arencibia has headed to Texas to be the starter there. While you might think Navarro would be an improvement offensively over Arencibia, check out Dioner's splits from 2013:

Home: 125 AB, .336/.414/.595, nine home runs Road: 115 AB, .266/.316/.395, four home runs

So Navarro's great 2013 season was almost entirely Wrigley-produced. Plus, he is a serious defensive downgrade from Arencibia.

Beyond that, the Jays have to hope that:

  • R.A. Dickey returns to his 2012 Cy Young form. It's possible for a knuckleballer, but Dickey does turn 40 just after this season ends.
  • Jose Bautista stays healthy and recovers his power stroke.
  • Brett Lawrie stays healthy and can hit like he did while he was in their farm system.
  • Brandon Morrow can have a full, healthy season.
  • Jose Reyes returns to a level of performance he hasn't had since 2011.

I think you get the idea. This team has too many "if"s to really contend in the tough American League East, where four teams finished over .500 last year and could do so again this year. I mean, all those things could happen, and Colby Rasmus could turn into an All-Star, and Casey Janssen could continue saving games, and...

I'll stop now. The Jays are probably good enough to win the series from the Cubs, and it will be odd to see Shark in that uniform, if that sort of trade ever does happen.
