Yesterday, Amazon announced a new contactless biometric technology. The company has named this new contactless biometric technology as ‘Amazon One’. According to the company, Amazon One will allow shoppers to pay at stores by placing their palm over a scanner.
The company further mentioned that this new contactless biometric technology, Amazon One can also be used to present a loyalty card, or enter a stadium, or for badging into work.
It seems that this technology would enable people to identify themselves or authorize a transaction.
Amazon mentioned this upcoming technology as “highly secure … custom-built algorithms and hardware (that create) a person’s unique palm signature”.
As of now, Amazon One service has been rolled out in two Amazon Go stores in Seattle. The two Amazon Go shops are the original Amazon Go outlet at 7th Blanchard and the one at South Lake Union.
The company said that in the near future, it has plans for expansion. Amazon One will eventually be added as an option in additional Amazon stores in the coming days. However, as of now, there are no further official details about its availability.
Amazon said this about Amazon One: “We believe Amazon One has broad applicability beyond our retail stores, so we also plan to offer the service to third parties like retailers, stadiums, and office buildings so that more people can benefit from this ease and convenience in more places”.
It seems that Amazon has already penetrated the market nicely so now, it has loftier goals for its new technology. The company said it could eventually be adopted by third party merchants as an alternate payment or loyalty card option with a scanning device at the checkout counter next to a traditional point of sale (PoS) system.

Process digital twin solution helps with sustainable transformation of mining and metals sector.
Sydney, Australia, 14 November 2022 –Tech Data is delighted to announce that Metallurgical Systems has won the 2022 One Percenters award for its process digital twin software for the mining and metals sector.
Currently in its second year, One Percenters is a joint initiative of Tech Data and IBM. With support from vendor alliance partners Red Hat and Thales, the program recognises technology teams who are solving complex problems and driving incredible change using products from the IBM software portfolio.
The announcement was made at an awards ceremony on 10 November at the IBM offices in Sydney, following a three-month selection, where 4 finalists had 5 minutes to pitch their solution, and showcase customer outcomes, and respond to questions from the judges. The prize was $30k in marketing funds, as well as facilitated networking and exposure opportunities across the Tech Data, IBM, Red Hat and Thales ecosystems. This year’s program was open to both existing and new IBM business partners who are building with IBM software, or re-selling IBM technology and platforms.

This year’s winner, Metallurgical Systems, demonstrated outstanding technology integration in its digital twin solution focused on accelerating mining digital transformation and enabling sustainability,” said Ivan Hecimovic, Director, Tech Data Australia & New Zealand.
Metallurgical Systems’ process digital twin solution pioneers a new era of accountability, sustainability and efficiency for mining, minerals and metals companies around the world.
As John Vagenas, Managing Director of Metallurgical Systems, said, “We’re very proud to be helping organisations address critical challenges such as the demand for critical minerals, the energy crisis, climate targets and the ongoing skills shortage in mining. This award is a fantastic recognition of our innovation in this area.”

- Advent One – Automation & Performance Optimisation

(Write a review)
"Wonderful pistol has a light trigger pull for those rapid fire shots that's not recommend to do and both safety's work too and the extra grips are like a tan short lined pattern. Overall I give it a 9.4/10 because the the front sights are plain black with no dot:( and i don't know how to take off my barrel since the guide rod is long... Nice pistol and NO WOBBLE AT ALL
"I will start off saying that this sidearm is amazing and I feel it is well worth the price. there are some issues with it but overall it is solid.
-Great weight and feel
-Fantastic FPS out of a WE pistol
-Kick is fairly good
-Comes with 3 mags
-Angel Custom EVERYTHING
-Poor Durability of the gold coating on the barrel
-Cannot fit any compensator that I have tried (due to girth of the barrel, and lack of a full spring guide)
-(for me at least) Rather inefficient with gas
Overall, being slightly biased against WE, it is actually a great gun. and especially for the price I have no real deal breaking complaints. I have only used it once in the field since I had gotten it but it is a nail driver. If you are in the market for a good GBB pistol but are on a budget, it would be worth your time to check this baby out.
"First off, this gun looks amazing!
When I rack the slide back, the slide and the outer barrel grind on each other and the friction causes it to not cycle. And as a result of this, the gun keeps jamming and the gold finish on the outer barrel is rubbing off already. And it's a beast to take apart because of the spring guide. Once the slide is off the frame, you have to unscrew the spring guide from a little washer nut thing that holds t he whole slide together. Once it's off, no problem. It also came with one leaky mag.
Good things about this gun are that it hits hard and it looks spectacular!
Overall, I'm a little disappointed with it, especially for the price..

Russia is the first country in the world to dissect Covid-19 corpses, and after a thorough investigation, it was determined that Covid-does NOT exist AS A VIRUS.
It is a GLOBAL scam. People die of ” extended electromagnetic radiation (poison) “.
Doctors in Russia are violating the World Health Organization (WHO) law that does not allow autopsies of people with Covid-19. died.
After a period of scientific discovery, it cannot be assumed that it is a virus, but rather bacteria that cause death and lead to the formation of blood clots in the veins and nerves, from which the patient dies because of these bacteria.
Russia defeated the virus and said ” there is nothing else but a coagulation of the blood vessels (thrombosis) and the treatment method is intact “. Read more from Before It’s News.

CEO SUMMARY: Over the next 24 months, it will be essential for every clinical laboratory and anatomic pathology group to develop clinical and financial strategies that meet the changing needs of health insurers, hospitals and health systems, physicians, and patients. THE DARK REPORT provides its assessment of key macro trends for 2016, along with comments about how first-mover lab organizations are delivering more value to stay ahead of these macro trends.
WITH 2016 JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY, most clinical laboratory organizations face what may be the most challenging and complex market for healthcare and lab test services since the advent of managed care plans in the early 1990s.
These challenges complicate the strategic planning underway at many labs as they prepare for 2016 and lock down budgets, plans for capital spending, and business development goals. To assist in this effort, THE DARK REPORT offers its perspectives about the current state of the clinical laboratory industry, along with several key developments to expect during 2016.
Before reviewing this assessment, it is important to note that 2016 and beyond will be a time of accelerating change, particularly when compared with the 1990s and 2000s. Perceptive lab administrators and pathologists already understand this fact and are prepared to act decisively.
Macro trends within the American healthcare system involve several primary elements. Trend one is the shift toward integrated care delivery organizations, such as ACOs and patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs). Such entities assume total responsibility for the health of all beneficiaries for which they are responsible.
Leavitt Partners, in a study published in May, reported that 744 ACOs are in operation. This is an increase from 490 ACOs at the end of 2013.
There has been a similar growth in PCMHs, but no recent national numbers are available. However, Michigan illustrates the progress of PCMHs. In 2015, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan stated that its network included 4,340 physicians in 1,551 practices who met the criteria of a PCMH.
Rapid growth in the number of beneficiaries enrolled in ACOs and PCMHs creates a challenge for clinical labs and pathology groups that want access to these patients. Integrated care organizations, to fulfill their mission of total care, need more from labs than simply a timely test result at the lowest price. They need labs to step forward and contribute to improving patient outcomes while lowering the overall cost per episode of care.
Trend two is the goal of delivering proactive care. Integrated care organizations are expected to reach out to beneficiaries and engage them to keep them as healthy as possible. This means ensuring that patients get screening services as appropriate, that patients with chronic diseases get the ongoing clinical care needed to effectively man- age their conditions, and that early diagnosis, accompanied by active intervention, is accomplished whenever possible.
Labs Poised to Contribute
As ACOS and PCMHs work to achieve these goals, labs are positioned to make significant contributions. To do so, labs will need to become much more consultative with clinicians.
In the past year, THE DARK REPORT has profiled the efforts of the labs at the Cleveland Clinic (TDR, June 1, 2015) and Henry Ford Health System (TDR, August 24 and October 5, 2015) to deliver more value. Clinical pathologists at both institutions engaged physicians to improve lab test utilization while improving patient outcomes and saving money.
Trend three involves changes in healthcare payment models. “Volume to value” is the overused term, but it is particularly apt for the clinical lab profession. When labs are paid on a fee-for-service basis, more specimen volume has always meant lower average cost-per-test while optimizing profit margins.
But the Medicare and Medicaid programs have declared a timetable to move away from FFS payment. (See sidebar below.) Similarly, private health insurers are negotiating more budgeted (capitated) payment agreements with hospitals, physicians, ACOs, and PCMHs. Often these agreements mean that the providers accept full utilization risk in exchange for a fixed per-member-per-month payment.
Provider Payment Reforms
The coming reforms to provider payment will have a substantial financial impact on clinical laboratories and pathology groups. Labs serving integrated care organizations will need to accept budgeted payment while doing much more than simply reporting accurate, timely test results.
Two of the first pathology groups in the nation to sign contracts with ACOs were profiled by THE DARK REPORT. In Milwaukee, North Shore Pathology is working with Integrated Health Network of Wisconsin (TDR, March 30, 2015). Similarly, in Alabaster, Alabama, CytoPath, PC, contracted with the Baptist Physician Alliance (TDR, March 9, 2015). Both pathology groups reported successes in reducing unnecessary lab test utilization in ways that produced significant cost savings to the respective ACOs while improving patient safety.
Payment for Reference Tests
Despite the shift toward new forms of value-based reimbursement, some reference and esoteric testing may continue to be paid as fee-for-service. This will be a result of client-billing arrangements reference labs have with hospitals, integrated delivery systems, and other labs.
But in trend four, even this segment of lab testing will be under extreme pricing pressure. Hospital clients—themselves getting paid a budgeted amount per patient—will pressure their reference labs to slash prices. They might even ask reference labs to do all testing under capitated payment arrangements. Lab executives should anticipate these requests from accounts that use client billing arrangements.
Managing reference send-out testing to specialty genetic testing labs on client bill arrangements was covered by THE DARK REPORT in our issue of April 20, 2015. At Seattle Children’s Hospital, the lab reported that it was being reimbursed, on average, about $350,000 for every $1 million of genetic tests it paid to its reference labs.
To improve utilization of genetic tests, the lab hired a genetic counselor and helped physicians understand, at time of order, which genetic tests would be most appropriate. In the first eight months of the program, there was an average reduction of $463 per order on the cost of tests ordered using this management program.
Managed care contracting is the fifth macro trend and it has much in common with the integration of care, proactive care delivery, and new payment models as described above. That is because health insurers must alter their contracting practices in order to support these changes in healthcare delivery.
Narrow Provider Networks
Expanding enrollment in the ACA’s health insurance exchange plans directly affects labs in two primary ways. First, exchange plans are narrowing networks in order to exclude high-priced hospitals, physicians, and clinical labs. The goal is to keep costs down so their premiums are competitive.
Second, the migration of Medicare Part B patients—16.8 million in 2015—to Medicare Advantage plans has major consequences for community labs. That’s because Medicare Advantage plans typically have exclusive contracts with the national labs. As a result, local labs are steadily losing access to Medicare patients because of this shift.
Every lab that wants access to patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage and the ACA exchange plans must have a price and service strategy that appeals to these payers while delivering patient-centric services.
Trend six involves high deductibles in managed care plans. By design, patients are being asked to pay as much as $5,000 and $10,000 per year out-of-pocket to meet individual and family deductible requirements. Clinical labs must be prepared to quote prices before serving these patients, then have the capability to collect 100% of the cost of testing when the patient shows up for service. Few labs in the United States have either capability.
One success story, however, is Counsyl, Inc., a clinical lab and technology company in South San Francisco. In our August 3, 2015, issue, THE DARK REPORT explained how Counsyl uses a web-based tool that enables patients to calculate how much they will pay for their genetic tests— before the physician orders their test. Payers like this patient-friendly feature too. Counsyl has managed care contracts that cover 80% of the commercial lives in the United States.
An equally significant trend in managed care contracting involves tougher hurdles for labs to gain favorable coverage and reimbursement decisions for new lab tests from both government and private payers. The Medicare MolDx program is one example that THE DARK REPORT has covered extensively in recent years.
Additionally, both Medicare and private insurers are seeing explosive growth in certain segments of lab testing. The increase in genetic tests is one example. The abusive billing practices in some areas of proprietary cardiology testing and pain management/drugs-of-abuse testing—as revealed by a growing number of successful federal lab whistleblower lawsuits against such labs—are among the reasons payers have become aggressive at denying coverage and rejecting more out-of-network lab test claims for these tests. (See TDR, August 24 and September 14, 2015.)
PAMA Market Price Reporting
THE DARK REPORT will address the issues involving PAMA market price reporting and the FDA’s proposed regulation of laboratory-developed tests on pages 7-8. It is anticipated that these developments will have a negative financial impact on most clinical laboratories.
Not to be overlooked on this list of macro trends is the accelerating growth in the use of personalized and precision medicine. This macro trend will be addressed in an upcoming issue of THE DARK REPORT.
Reminder: Medicare Program Has Aggressive Timetable to Shift Away from Fee-for-Service
MANY PATHOLOGISTS AND CLINICAL LAB MANAGERS ARE UNAWARE of the aggressive timetable the federal government has announced for replacing Medicare fee-for-service payments with alternative reimbursement models. On January 26, 2015, the federal Department of Health & Human Services announced this timetable.
It issued a press release titled “Better, Smarter, Healthier: In historic announcement, HHS set clear goals and timeline for shifting Medicare reimbursements from volume to value.” The federal agency said it was publishing these “measurable goals and a timeline to move the Medicare program, and the health care system at large, toward paying providers based on the quality, rather than the quantity of care they give patients.”
Two Ambitious Goals
HHS described two goals, with an ambitious timetable for implementation. About the first goal, it wrote that “HHS has set a goal of tying 30% of traditional, or fee-for-service, Medicare payments to quality or value through alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations (ACOs) or bundled payment arrangements by the end of 2016, and tying 50% of payments to these models by the end of 2018.”
Clinical labs and pathology groups should expect that, when CMS issues a draft of its annual Medicare Physician Fee Update in July 2016, a significant number of lab testing services will be covered in proposed bundled-payment arrangements. This will be done independently of the actions by CMS to set Part B clinical laboratory test fees using the market data reporting mandated by the Protecting Access to Medicare Act.
On the second goal, the press release stated that “HHS also set a goal of tying 85% of all traditional Medicare payments to quality or value by 2016 and 90% by 2018 through programs such as the Hospital Value Based Purchasing and the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Programs.”
As a consequence of these plans, hospital laboratories and pathology groups serving community hospitals will want to anticipate these new value-based Medicare payment models with strategies for their labs to add value. Hospitals—including those participating in ACOs—face entirely new payment models based on improving patient outcomes and will be motivated to consider how their clinical labs and pathology groups can contribute to better patient care at lower cost.
HHS also called attention to a another noteworthy aspect of its press release. “This is the first time in the history of the Medicare program that HHS has set explicit goals for alternative payment models and value-based payments,” it said.
A reason why the Medicare program declared its timetable to move away from fee-for-service is significant is that private health insurers will emulate what they like about these new provider payment arrangements. This is why lab executives should factor these developments into their lab’s strategy planning activities.

The Coronational Square is the centrepiece of the Christian world’s largest city, the capital of the Holy Land.
The church has been there since the 12th century, when it was built by the Jewish community.
But it was not until the 1970s that it gained a reputation for being the heart of the city’s inner-city.
The Catholic church is still there, but its presence is slowly dwindling.
Today the cornerstones of Coronations life are under threat, and its role is becoming increasingly under threat.
The Church of St Luke, built by an immigrant from Portugal who arrived in Corby in the 13th century and who has been living in Corone for more than 500 years, is the most visible example of the cornerstone church’s decline.
It is also the largest and oldest in Coroner’s Square.
Coronings church was built in the 11th century as a religious building for the Jewish people of Corone, and it is a landmark to the city.
The building was named after St Luke the evangelist who arrived here in 1207.
He preached from his home in the town of Coronet, which is where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is located.
It has a congregation of over 800 and was a centre of learning.
But in the late 19th century it was turned into a commercial complex.
A new commercial development was constructed at the corner, but not before its walls were covered in graffiti.
Its main entrance is blocked off with a wooden gate and has been a popular tourist attraction for decades.
The graffiti is a testament to the decay that has happened in the corner church.
The wall covering it is crumbling and the church is being damaged by the building’s own decay.
The walls are being ripped down and the inside of the church has become a battleground for residents who feel neglected.
Coroner Andrew White told the ABC that the building has become an uninviting place for people to congregate.
“There are areas that are really difficult to get to,” he said.
“The graffiti on the walls is really an indication of that, but also an indication that there are other areas that people have to be concerned about, particularly on Sundays when there is a lot of community activity.”
The graffiti on a wall of the Church, on Coronners main entrance.
It’s a battle being waged between residents and the Church.
One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said she was worried about what would happen to her neighbourhood’s historic buildings when the church was redeveloped.
“When we were growing up, the church stood there and that’s what we would call a place where the people could come together,” she said.
The vandalised walls of the building, in the middle of Coroner White’s presentation.
“It’s a real blight, there’s no way that you can make it go away, and people are saying they can’t afford to live there.”
The church is also a centre for anti-Catholic sentiment, and the graffiti is also an expression of that.
The vandalism is visible from across the street, on the side of a building where the Coroners old synagogue was demolished in the 1970’s.
“This is a reflection of the anti-Semitism in the community,” Mr White said.
When Coronators old synagogue came down, the graffiti was still there.
Coronet resident Kishore Chatterjee said the graffiti on Coroner Whites walls was a message of exclusion.
“We want to get rid of that graffiti, and we don’t want that to happen to us, but we also want to keep the tradition that’s built into Coronions history,” he told the BBC.
The Coroner has spoken to residents about the problem, but has so far been unable to make any meaningful change.
“Coronations community is in dire need of a major facelift, which would include removing the graffiti from the walls of our church and other historic buildings in Coronel,” he wrote in his report.
Coronial Council chief executive Richard Latham said the council was working with local authorities and the community to address the graffiti problem.
“With the help of the local community, we are now in the process of addressing this issue, which has impacted on the church and is impacting on our businesses,” he added.
“Our focus is now on finding a solution that will provide a safe and respectful environment for the local communities.”
The Coronial Square church has a number of important historical and cultural assets.
It was built as a Jewish community centre, and for generations the area was a hub for Jewish and Christian commerce.
The corner of Coroni Street and St Luke’s Square in Coronet is now a tourist attraction, with a number from around the world visiting Coronements corner for weddings, funerals, visits from Jewish tourists, and concerts.
Coronian Council chief officer Richard Lathan said the vandalism was the first

If you’re planning a vacation on the Yucatan Peninsula, Hotel Xcaret boasts two of best hotels in Riviera Maya Mexico. What’s more, you’ll have a choice of a family friendly and an Adults only resort.
The Hotel Xcaret experience is unique. In addition to being an all-inclusive resort located on the beautiful beaches of Playa del Carmen along the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Hotel Xcaret offers what they call All-Fun Inclusive.
This means you have unlimited access to all nine of the Groupo Xcaret entertainment parks included with your resort hotel stay. This alone would make these the best hotels in Riviera Maya, but there is so much more!
Table of Contents
Where is Riviera Maya?
Riviera Maya is located on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, on the mainland across from the island of Cozumel. The nearest major city, Cancun, is a 90 minute drive north along the coast.
The exact address of Hotel Xcaret is Chetumal-Puerto Juarez Highway Kilometer 292, Solidaridad, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo.
But don’t worry about trying to remember that. Included in your stay is transportation to and from the Cancun airport.
What you do need to know is that Riviera Maya is located in one of the best places for a tropical getaway.
This spot along the Mayan Riviera has everything from nearby lush jungle settings filled with Mayan mysticism to the white sand beach. It truly is one of the best hotels for a dream vacation.
What is Hotel Xcaret?
Hotel Xcaret makes the most of its tropical location. There are two resorts located here, the Hotel Xcaret Mexico and Hotel Xcaret Arte.
Hotel Xcaret Mexico is the main hotel, with 900 suites and contemporary rooms among the different “Casas” of the resort. Each Casa is themed to elements of Mayan culture: Spiral, Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire.
Guest rooms range in size from 575 square feet studios up to the massive family master suite at almost 2500 square feet! I loved my room that opened up to the river.
I had a lot of space, with large sitting area and flat screen TV, but those views brought me outside! The bathroom was huge, with a separate tub, shower, and large closet.
The toiletries were upscale and they provided everything you could need right in the room, like toothbrushes, a luffa, upscale shampoo and conditioner, and even a mini Hydro Advance facial kit!
I also had a coffee maker (ask for milk if you don’t like powdered creamer) and a stocked mini-fridge. There was also a tray of snacks, though with room service included, I was never hungry!
You’ll also have a dining table for when you order room service, and a couch to chill for when you’re spend time in your room.
I was out and about so much I never used it. There’s just so much to do!
Hotel Xcaret Arte is a smaller resort that has a maximum capacity of 900 adults (ages 16 and up). The theme of this resort honors the visionary work of Mexican artists.
Both have access to the nine parks in Grupo Xcaret: Xcaret Park, Xel-Ha, Xplor Park, Xavage, Xenses, Xoximilco, Xplor Fuego, Xavage, and Xenotes.
Between the two hotels, there are two dozen bars and more than a dozen restaurants. It truly is an all-inclusive location with everything you need to have an amazing vacation all in one place.
Why We Love these Resorts
There’s a lot to love about Hotel Xcaret, starting with the fact that it is all inclusive, with the exception of spa treatments and some signature dining.
If you hate going on vacation and stressing about how much meals and entertainment are adding up, you can relax knowing that your meals, drinks, and entertainment are included.
With daily flights to Cancun from Florida and at other major airports in the southeastern United States, it is easy to get to the Yucatan.
Transportation to and from the Cancun airport to Hotel Xcaret is also included, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Once you are at the resort, the biggest challenge will be deciding what to do.
Different types of rooms provide amazing views of the jungle, river, or ocean from their private terraces. Some are swim-up rooms, and some have their own private plunge pool.
The rooms are beautiful, with plenty of space to spread out. Many rooms have features like jacuzzi hot tubs and hammocks to get you into full relaxation mode.
Hotel Xcaret Arte offers a variety of workshops to embrace the arts theme. And of course, just strolling the lush and beautiful resorts or sitting poolside or at the beach to soak up the sun is its own kind of paradise.
Though I didn’t make it to the parks this time as I was attending a culinary event, I wanted to be sure to share the details with you because it’s a huge reason why we think these are the best hotels in Riviera Maya!
And by the way, if you really wanted to do something outside of the resort, there are so many things to do with kids in Playa del Carmen, which is really close to the hotel.
Xcaret Park is the signature park for all things Mexico. The park includes underground rivers, exotic birds in an aviary, and a coral reef aquarium. You can also learn more about the ancient Mayan culture and civilization and sample a variety of Mexican cuisine.
Xplor Park is for the adrenaline junkies! Deep in the Mayan jungle, you can explore on amphibious vehicles, tour caves, and zip line over it all with the highest zip lines on the Riviera Maya!
Xenses is a park that will blow your mind. The focus of this park is on tweaking your senses as you explore ecosystems in total darkness, explore optical illusions that will test your sense of balance, and let you explore aerial thrills as well as places to calm your senses.
Xel-Ha is the hidden wonder park of Xcaret. From snorkeling in the river and cove to zip-lines and walking or biking through tropical forest trails, this park offers exploration of the natural beauty of Mexico. There’s even an excursion to tour the Tulum archaeological site.
Xoximilco is the place to party, fiesta style! Dance and sing to live mariachi music, play traditional Mexican games, and enjoy food and drinks, complete with an open beer and tequila bar.
Xplor Fuego gives a whole new meaning to nightlife as the Riviera Maya’s only nighttime park. Explore torch-lit paths as you drive around with amphibious vehicles, paddle along “lava” lit rivers, and sail above the trees on a nighttime zip-line ride.
Xavage Park offers exciting options for the whole family. From kayaking to a ropes course and off-roading to river rapids, there’s a ton of thrills at this adventure park.
Xenotes offers a guided tour to connect with the legends and mysticism of the jungle and its sacred waters. Some activities include kayaking, swimming, and rappelling, but there’s plenty of time to just relax and soak in the surroundings, too.
Xcaret Xailing to Isla Mujeres takes you by direct access ferry to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world on this small island off of Cancun. While you are there, visit the Cancun Scenic Tower for incredible views of the Caribbean Sea.
More Things to Do
In addition to the parks, there’s more to do at each of the hotels like outdoor swimming pool areas (including infinity-edge pool areas), swim up bars, and pristine beaches.
For those who want to keep up their fitness level, you’ll have access to a state-of-the-art fitness center with incredible views, and even tennis court areas for those who want to get a game in.
Where to Eat & Drink
My trip to Hotel Xcaret was to attend a food event, and I can honestly say these are the best resorts in Riviera Maya to find something for everyone.
If you’re looking for an upscale food experience, you’ll find it there. Prefer to just chill and eat outstanding Mexican food and fresh seafood? You’ll find that, too.
The restaurants are scattered around the different buildings, so you’ll always be close to some great food anywhere you go.
Hotel Xcaret Arte has nine dining experiences and ten bars:

This is yet another reason I’m choosing these as the best hotels in Riviera Maya.
In addition to traditional spa treatments like massages, facials, and beauty treatments, there are spa journey themes combining a variety of techniques.
One of the unique offerings is the hydrotherapy ritual. Its focus on purification through water includes experiences with hot and cold water tubs, steam room, sauna, pool, and more.
This is an amazing ritual to bring a sense of wellness throughout your being.
The Mukluk Spa does have an additional cost, but the high quality of these services is worth every penny!
Though the Xcaret Parks are included, you will still need to make a reservation for some of them. Be sure to have a family meeting and decide what you want to do well in advance so no one is disappointed.
Even though they are part of the same resort, the vibe between the Hotel Xcaret Mexico and Hotel Xcaret Arte is quite different. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, the Hotel Xcaret Arte is your better bet.
The resort is all-inclusive (with the exception of a couple signature dining options and spa services), but you’ll still want to bring some cash with you for tips, souvenirs, and other incidentals.
The hotel can exchange US dollars for Mexican pesos, but tips in US currency are also happily accepted.
There are many dining options for vegetarians, but it’s always a good idea to let the concierge know ahead of time of dietary restrictions, especially if you’re attending a special dinner or occasion.
We always drink either bottled water, mineral water, or soda water when in Mexico.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Not only are rooms, meals, beverages, and hotel activities included, but the Xcaret Parks are also all part of your package. The only additional cost is for spa services and a couple of the signature dining locations.
It can be rainy in June and October, as well as in between the two. However, it can rain just enough to cool things off, which can be a welcome blessing. April, May, November, and December are the best months. These resorts book up quickly, so choose dates you’re able to do with work and school and book it as far out as you can.
Yes, there is a kids club. Inquire when you make your reservations. Though there is so much to do for families at Hotel Xcaret Mexico, I can see where parents might want to enjoy dinner at one of the upscale restaurants, and kids would probably rather be with others their age than sitting at dinner for hours.

As happiness is simply a concept, and pure love only lived in a dream,
If your imagination became your reality, could life be lived to the extreme?
As the extreme must by nature be infinite, then how could one ever know
That the edge of life has been touched, and there’s nowhere else to go?

Researchers at NTNU explore Solid-state batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion, considering charging speed, safety, and recyclability that promise safer electric cars with enhanced energy storage.
Present-day electric vehicles utilise sizeable lithium-ion batteries that function reasonably effectively. These batteries exhibit a capacity for storing a substantial amount of energy relative to their weight. An advantage lies in their non-requirement for a complete discharge before recharging, offering convenience for recharging at preferred times without undue battery concern. These batteries fall short in energy density for upcoming applications and electric vehicles (EVs). Given their vulnerabilities, their instability and flammability have led to the quest for alternatives.
According to Daniel Rettenwander, a Materials Science and Engineering professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, “solid-state batteries hold promise as the future for upcoming electric vehicles”. He and his research team are delving into ways to expedite the charging process of solid-state batteries beyond current capabilities and enhance their safety and recyclability. These batteries offer several distinct benefits over lithium-ion batteries. They boast the potential for elevated voltage and greater energy capacity, providing enhanced energy storage relative to their weight and volume.
Solid-State Battery Benefits
Their heightened tolerance to temperature fluctuations renders them especially advantageous during cold mornings or extended journeys. These batteries exhibit reduced flammability, owing to the absence of liquid electrolytes—charged conductive substances found in conventional batteries. In contrast, solid-state batteries employ solid materials, deviating from the more prevalent liquid electrolyte norm. These batteries find utility in pacemakers and portable electronics, where compactness is paramount. The ease of crafting small batteries underscores their availability in the market, albeit on a limited scale. Scaling up to larger batteries is challenging due to exorbitant production costs rooted in their intricate manufacturing.
Researchers highlight solid-state batteries’ use of lithium, which influences their failure and breakdown. This insight illuminates the formation of “dendrites,” corrosive lithium particles triggered by mechanical stress. These particles can lead to short circuits, presenting a challenge in solid-state batteries.
The research team suggests that solid-state batteries have the potential for faster charging compared to the present. Yet, a challenge exists: utilising solids for electrical charge transfer is inherently more complex than liquids. They have delved into strategies for enhancing the efficiency of charging solid-state batteries with significantly higher currents. This advancement could substantially curtail the charging duration for electronic devices and electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with these innovative batteries. Solid-state batteries are more expensive than lithium batteries, but this may change when mass-produced.

Morning Brew: Man's Pants on Fire, Grocers Go Independent, Caribana Launches, Striking Teenager's Perspective
What's happening in the GTA (and sometimes beyond):
A man standing accused of arson has also brought back childhood memories of the phrase "liar, liar, pants on fire." While nothing is conclusive until a court of law makes its judgment, a man arriving at hospital with burns to his legs claimed to have had a late night barbecue propane accident, but police believe he may be involved in starting a nearby industrial fire.
Undesirable purchasing policies and a drive to buy and sell locally sourced meats and produce have caused a number of southwestern Ontario grocers to sever their ties to the large grocery chain Sobeys and go independent. Meat doesn't need to be federally inspected in far away locations and then trucked here to be safe, does it?
Ontario is looking to give electric and hybrid vehicles a boost by announcing new strategies for promoting them. The plan includes a large purchaser incentive for consumers (which could bring down the cost of hybrid cars like he Volt down by about 25%), and a commitment to make the government's fleet 20% hybrid by 2020.
And in mandatory city union strike-related news...
Caribana will go on despite the ongoing strike. The annual festival kicked off yesterday at a crowded Yonge-Dundas Square, leaving Nathan Phillips Square lonely and pouting.
The Star has an intriguing piece about a 16-year old girl named Tamie Dolny who was supposed to be a city-employed lifeguard this summer but is instead on strike. I'm not so sure that the posed (straight-faced, armed folded) photo will evoke much sympathy, but it must really suck to be in her shoes.
And striking workers shut down Terra-Green Recycling & Transfer (a private Etobicoke hauling company) for several hours yesterday, until the owner came out and signed a hand-written agreement stating that his company wouldn't pick up any park or residential waste in Toronto. His lawyers are calling it blackmail.

After meeting to figure out what their next move would be, the Backstreet Boys have put on hold their plans to be Backstreet Boys once again.
"As a group, we have decided not to record our next album at this time," the bandmembers said in a statement released late Wednesday. "We are not breaking up, but individually we are currently at different places in our lives, and our hearts and minds are focused in other areas. All of us are getting along great and are supporting each other in our individual endeavors."
What those endeavors are remains unclear, as Nick Carter has wrapped his solo tour and Kevin Richardson has finished his run on Broadway in the stage version of "Chicago."
The band had previously planned to go back into the studio in late March to record the follow-up to 2000’s "Black & Blue," and the Boys had expressed interest in working with producers such as Glen Ballard, Jermaine Dupri and Babyface (see "Backstreet Boys Seek Jermaine Dupri, Glen Ballard For Next LP").
Last week Richardson said the band had decided to go with different producers, but he insisted that he and his bandmates were anxious to get back in the studio (see "Backstreet's Back: Group Plotting Follow-Up To Black & Blue").
"When the timing is right, we will record another Backstreet Boys album," Wednesday's statement said. "We would like to thank our fans for their continued support and love throughout our career."
The band’s management had no comment beyond the written statement, and the group's label, Jive, was unavailable for comment.

Ford Motor Co. is going head to head with General Motors Corp. to capture a significant slice of a growing European market sector: environment-friendly cars and light trucks. Alternative fuel vehicles represent an increasingly important business for carmakers following demands by European governments to introduce purchasing incentives and improve the service station infrastructure for providing gas. Vehicles powered by compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas produce less of the harmful exhaust emissions of petrol-fueled vehicles. GM has so far dominated the European market for gas-powered cars. But now Ford is to install bi-fuel engines in its Transit van, Mondeo, and Focus models at European plants where new facilities will be installed alongside existing assembly lines. Bi-fuel technology has been available for some years. But demand from private car users has been curbed by the scarcity of refueling stations. Ford and GM have complained that Germany and Britain -- the two largest European car markets -- have failed to encourage fuel groups to build service station capacity. "The demand is there but governments need to create an infrastructure," said Nick Scheele, president of Ford of Europe.

Readers sometimes ask me to recommend a general introduction to Aristotelian-Thomistic metaphysics. Unfortunately, the best such works are the Neo-Scholastic manuals of the pre-Vatican II period, now long out of print. Some of them, though, like R. P. Phillips' two-volume Modern Thomistic Philosophy or John McCormick's two-volume Scholastic Metaphysics, can be purchased fairly cheaply from online second-hand book dealers. Then there is Google books, through which at least one such work can be readily accessed: Peter Coffey's Ontology, or The Theory of Being: A General Introduction to Metaphysics. Enjoy.


Disagreement over the 2013 Comprehensive Plan’s approach to the city’s eastern and western gateways continued Tuesday night but did not derail final approval of the plan in a 6-3 vote that marks the end of a two-year process to draft the document.
First Ward Alderman Ron Silkaitis, Ward 2 Alderman Art Lemke and Ward 4 Alderman James Martin all voted against adoption of the plan, while First Ward Alderman Dan Stellato abstained.
Lemke expressed concern that some details he had wanted in the document pertaining to Charlestowne Mall were not included, while Silkaitis said he had philosophical differences on the plan’s approach to the West Gateway area.
Martin reiterated his concern that he remains opposed to any mixed use in the West Gateway area, which potentially could include a residential component. Martin said he believes the entire area should be preserved solely for retail development.
But their arguments failed to persuade their colleagues on the City Council. Mayor Raymond Rogina, who does not vote except to break a tie, urged the council to adopt the plan, which he described as a “very thorough document” that was “worthy of support.”
The plan has been a source of varied, often conflicting concerns among residents during the two-year process of crafting the document.
One of the greater concerns in public discussion of the document revolved around the prospect of new residential development, particularly on the two gateways, centering on the Charlestowne Mall area on the East Side, and the old St. Charles Mall site on the West Side.
At one point, the City Council stripped all new residential development from the East and West gateways, only to reverse course soon afterward and restore the idea of mixed use, which allows, for example, for the development of a site with commercial space on the ground level and apartments on the upper levels.
The 2013 Comprehensive Plan is a policy document and guide for the city to look to during future development and redevelopment over the next two decades. Rogina on Tuesday night applauded it for its vision and for its flexibility. Some have worried the document is too flexible, particularly in terms of residential development.

This is a discussion on The AR that takes AK mags MK Mutant within the M16 AR15 forums, part of the Rifle Forum category; This looks really interesting, now if they would just make one without the rail that would take Magpul handgaurds.
and didn't cost $1500.
I have always been fascinated with the concept of shooting the AK cartridge in an AR platform. I think MGI has the Hydra with the changeable barrels and magazine wells. I might be looking for this rifle sometime.
I can't speak for CMMG but I own and shoot the LAR-47. I love the rifle, with cheap wolf or tula it shoots really well. I hunt with the Privi lead nose jacketed bullets, looks like a 30-30 cartridge. Everything I or my wife has shot at with it didn't walk away, in fact I just had a sausage biscuit made from one of them. This ammo will shoot under 1 MOA, with or without the suppressor, very light and easy to manage suppressor makes it front heavy but recoil or muzzle rise not worth mentioning. This is why I don't reload for this caliber, have the equipment just don't use it.
Subsonic loads I do load. I cast a 180 grn hollow point wheel weight at 1080 fps. I've only shot at one critter with these, a large bobcat that kept running off game in my grass patch. Tried some 200 and 220 lead bullets I bought and accuracy was not that good.
I like the 7.62x39, wish I could get a 22" to 24" barrel made to try some different powders in.
As far as magazines go most all the metal ones I've tried work well. Some have to have the tab on rear slightly filed to easily fit. Mag pul Gen 3 have all worked as advertised.
I'm going to ruffle some feathers here but my opinion is the 7.62x39 in supersonic is superior to the 300 BLK, subsonic the 300 BLK is ahead due to the ability to shoot a bullet thats are 40 to 50 grns. heavier. Maybe rock river will make one with a faster twist rate.

Putting on a Passion Play may seem like a daunting task and a huge commitment. It is sometimes hard to know where to start. If you are considering putting on a Passion Play but it you are still working out how to get your core team together or reading through our manual and resources, you might like to make the first step by organising a Walk of Witness in your local community.
Some people also organise a ‘Stations of the Cross’ event in their church. You can see images from a Good Friday procession based on the stations of the cross in Hastings Old Town on Good Friday here.
Beginning to grow
Taking the next step towards a Passion Play may be to use drama or music to expand your Walk of Witness. Processions of the cross through key locations in your community can be accompanied by dramatic monologues or re-enactments of specific scenes. Using flash mobs and interactive theatre are also effective.
Growing to a small Passion Play
Putting on a small Passion Play does not need to be an impossible task. The Passion Trust can help with costumes, props, staging, and funding. Keeping it small means that costs are kept to a minimum and often there is no need for professional a sound system if the play is performed to a small audience. You can see the Passion Plays in Worcester, Hamilton, Bishop Auckland, Abingdon, and Poole.
Expanding to a large Passion Play
A large Passion Play is an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be a daunting one. The best plays are ones that have experienced professionals playing key roles, directing or producing. Because they perform to larger audiences, they will also need sound equipment and technicians so everyone can hear what is being said.
Some people also decide to partner with professional theatre companies like Saltmine which have a small group of experienced young actors who work with local communities to put on Passion Plays. Saltmine has worked with local volunteers to put on Passion Plays in Birmingham, Norwich, and Stafford. You can find out more about them here.

MINISTERS UNABLE TO SAY IF BRITAIN IS AT WAR AS CAIRO AIRPORT IS BOMBED
[ 1 November 1956 ]
On 1 November 1956, an editorial in the Daily Mail was headlined ‘Britain at War’, however neither Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd nor Minister of Defence Antony Head were able to confirm whether or not Britain was actually at war with Egypt.
BRITAIN VETOES FULL ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA
[ 1 November 1977 ]
Today in 1977, Britain joined the United States and France in vetoing a United Nations resolution calling on all nations to implement full economic sanctions on apartheid South Africa. Tony Benn, Secretary of State for Energy in Britain’s Labour government, commented in his diary that ‘it is no good pretending our action is in the best interests of South Africa; it is purely that we have so many investments there.’1
