The Pixel and Pixel XL were highly anticipated devices, but ultimately they were primarily a first-generation, introductory release for Google, and though they weren’t wholly-spectacular, we regarded them a “foundational release“. What was and remains really exciting, however, is what can be built upon said foundations.
Not too long ago we reported on the hardware specifications of both the smaller and larger Pixel sequels coming this year. The larger “taimen” Pixel XL in particular will feature a 5.99-inch display with a 1440p OLED panel provided by LG, seemingly a consequence of LG’s recent investments in their display division to sate increasing OLED panel demand.
The device will also be coming with a Snapdragon 835 and will feature a similar two-tone glass and metal finish on the back, though we noted that the glass window is located near the top and that it no longer encloses the fingerprint scanner. A render provided by Android Police corroborated our report, closely matching the design information we supplied last month.
The device seemingly borrows inspiration not only from the Pixel XL, but also the LG G6 through the adoption of a taller display with minimal bezels.
Google is seemingly making the most of their efforts to secure a quality OLED panel by adding useful display functionality. The Pixel XL 2 will feature an “Always On” option in its display settings, allowing the phone’s screen to display useful information and notifications while the device is locked and idle.
We knew Google was working on such a feature, as last week XDA-Developer found mentions of a
doze_always_on toggle in the O Developer Preview 3’s SystemUIGoogle.apk file (“doze” refers to Ambient Display in Android source code). Android Police had also reported that the Pixel XL would feature a squeezable frame, and we can corroborate this information as we’ve learned about its role in the phone’s user experience. Not unlike the HTC U11’s squeezable frame, you’ll be able to use the shortcut to launch Google Assistant when the screen is on or off.
You will also be able to adjust the squeezing intensity threshold so that you can find a comfortable level of pressure to trigger the shortcut. Google also plans on adding extra functionality to the pressure sensitive frame, such as the ability to silence incoming calls.
The sRGB mode we’ve been enjoying since Google’s later Nexus days will leave its secluded spot behind Developer Options, and moving to the normal Display settings. It will be accompanied by a “Vivid Colors” option, suggesting Google is focusing a bit more on display customization this time around.
The easter egg feature in the Android O build our source became familiar with involved an octopus in the ocean, which seems unrelated to the Android version name we eagerly await. The system UI’s color palette will go back to the darker default theme we saw in earlier O Developer previews;
it seems that the light theme set by default in Android O DP3 might have been a test or a mishap. When setting up the new Pixel XL 2, you are also taken to g.co/pixelphonetour (currently not working, obviously), and there might be a new system font as well.
GOOGLE’S Pixel 2 could be released later this year with the internet giant thought to be hard at work on the sequel to its first in-house flagship smartphone. And if the new handset looks anything like these concept images, it will likely sell-out in the blink of an eye.
The follow-up to the Pixel – the first smartphone to be designed and made by Google – is expected to debut a new industrial design, powerful new specs, and more.Not too much is known about the upcoming Google handset, but these beautiful new concept designs from Concept Creator show the potential of this next-generation Android handset.
“You can count on us to follow [the Pixel]. You can count on a successor this year, even if you don’t hear a date from me now,” he said.
Early reports around the project suggested Google would introduce three new handsets this year.
However, the latest whispers from inside the US search company suggest it’s sticking to just a Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2. According to the latest report from XDA Developers, the Pixel 2 will ship with a similar 4.97-inch 1080p Full HD panel as the original model used.
Google will likely use an “almost identical” design for this model, too. As for its bigger brother, the Pixel XL 2 is rumoured to sport a larger 5.9-inch display with a 1440p OLED panel and “a smaller bezel than what we saw in the original Pixel XL”.
The California-based technology firm will purportedly keep the same two-tone design on the back of the phone, but the glass window will be smaller – covering the rear camera, but will not extend down to the fingerprint, like its predecessor.The latest whispers from 9to5Google claim the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will jettison the 3.5mm headphone port in favour of stereo speakers.Elsewhere, the next-generation Pixel will likely include IP68 water resistance – something that was missing from the original Pixel.The rear camera is expected to see a number of improvements this year. However, it sounds like Google plans to stick to the single camera lens, avoiding the growing trend to use dual camera set-ups.
OLD Report… July 7
When it comes to the smartphone market as a whole, there are really only two upcoming new smartphones on people’s minds. The first is the iPhone 8, which will be revealed in September and then released sometime after alongside new iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus models. Apple fans are starved for a new design after three consecutive years with nearly identical iPhone models, and the iPhone 8 is expected to deliver big time. Then we’ve got Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8, which is expected to take all of the Galaxy S8’s best features and improve upon them.
Among hardcore Android fans, however, there are two more smartphones that are being awaited even more eagerly. That’s right, Google’s upcoming Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are set to be released this fall, and they’re shaping up to be huge improvements over last year’s models. If they end up looking anything like the images you’ll see in this post, Google’s next-generation Pixel phones might also be among the hottest handsets of the year.
A leak back in early June shed a ton of light on the larger of Google’s two upcoming new Pixel 2 smartphones. According to benchmark test results that surfaced on GFXBench, the Pixel 2 XL will sport a 5.6-inch display with 2K resolution, a 2.4GHz octa-core Snapdragon processor, 4GB of RAM, up to 128GB of storage, and at least one 12-megapixel rear camera.
That all sounds pretty terrific, but what exactly will Google’s new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL look like? We can’t yet say for certain, and they phones may actually end up features designs that are quite different. The smaller Pixel 2 will reportedly look a lot like last year’s original Pixel phones, and it’ll be made by HTC. Meanwhile, the larger Pixel 2 XL will be made by LG, so it’ll likely feature a much different look and feel.
We can likely expect leaks to start rolling in over the next few weeks that shed some light on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL’s designs. In the meantime, the concept below was created by Jonas Daehnert for Yanko Design, and it very well may be the Pixel 2 of our dreams. It doesn’t have the all-display front side that’s all the rage in 2017, but we’re OK with that, especially since the sides have no bezels and that’s what really matters. Bezel-free sides make a phone as comfortable as possible in the hand, after all.
There are also some nifty design features you won’t see anywhere else, such as the nifty little LED notification lights that correspond with Google’s colors and are integrated into the phone’s edge. You’ll find a few images of Daehnert’s creation below, and the rest can be seen on the Yanko Design website.
First Pixel and Pixel XL are both great devices and are the first handsets designed inside and out by Google. Manufactured by HTC, the two high-end smartphones feature terrific cameras, great build quality, and stock Android software that’s extremely popular among a lot of users.The Pixel and Pixel XL are definitely not perfect, having been criticized for their their generic design, high price tag, and lack of proper water resistance, among others. These are just a few of the issues that we hope Google will address with the upcoming Pixel generation.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at all the rumors we have heard so far regarding Google’s flagship smartphones. We’ll talk about the Google Pixel 2 release date, design, specs, and price, to give you a better idea of what to expect from the upcoming Pixel series.
Just keep in mind that these are just rumors for now, so do take them with a grain of salt. Google hasn’t confirmed – or denied – any of them and probably won’t share any specific details before the official reveal.
Google Pixel 2: How many devices will we see?
It was initially rumored that Google would, just like last year, take the wraps off two Pixel devices. The smaller of the two is codenamed Walleye, while the XL variant goes under the Muskie moniker. We then heard reports that the company is also working on a third device, dubbed Taimen, which is expected to be even larger than the Pixel XL.
However, it looks like Google has changed its mind and will in fact only release two smartphones this year. According to a report by Android Police, the tech giant has decided to cancel the Muskie device. This means that only Walleye and Taimen will be announced, with the former being the successor to the Pixel, while the latter will be a larger version of the Pixel XL.
But who will be responsible for manufacturing the upcoming Pixel generation? The first rumors claimed that Google has teamed up with HTC, which made the Pixel and Pixel XL last year. New rumors have now popped up online suggesting that the online search giant will actually be joining forces with LG, at least for the larger of the two devices. Of course, this hasn’t been confirmed yet, so things can still go either way.
Google Pixel 2: Release date
So far, we haven’t heard any rumors regarding the release date of the Pixel 2 series. However, we can get a good idea of when the two devices will be revealed by looking at the release date of their predecessors.
Google normally unveils its new devices in the fall. The Pixel and Pixel XL, for example, were announced in October and went on sale in the same month. Things will probably be more or less the same this year. The upcoming smartphones will likely go up for pre-order right after their reveal, with sales officially kicking off a few weeks later.
Google Pixel 2: Specs
Just like their predecessors, Walleye (Pixel 2) and Taimen (Pixel XL 2) will offer high-end specs. According to the latest rumors, the smaller of the two devices is expected to sport a 4.97-inch display with Full HD resolution. It will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset and have 4 GB of RAM. When it comes to storage, a 64 GB version is mentioned, but we’ll likely see a larger option as well.
What’s interesting is that the Pixel 2 is said to feature two front-facing stereo speakers, which is more than a welcome addition. Unfortunately, it will come at the expense of the 3.5 mm headphone jack. This means you’ll have to plug in your headphones with the help of an adapter that will likely come included in the box. Just keep in mind that this hasn’t been confirmed yet and it’s quite possible that the rumor is false. Especially when considering that Google actually took a shot at Apple for the iPhone 7’s lack of the headphone jack in last year’s Pixel commercial.
Rumors also suggest that Google will not be following in the footsteps of LG, Huawei, OnePlus, and others in the camera department. This means that the Pixel 2 won’t have a dual-camera setup on the back. Other than that, the rumor mill has been pretty dry on this topic. Nevertheless, we do expect that the Pixel 2 will be equipped with a great camera, just like its predecessor. When reviewed, the main shooter on last year’s Pixel received the highest DxOMark rating at the time with a score of 89. Although it was later bumped down to second place, as the HTC U11 took the number one spot with a score of 90.
The Pixel XL 2 is also rumored to be water and dust resistant. It is expected to be either IP67 or IP68 rated, meaning it will survive being submerged in 1 to 1.5 meters of water for a period of 30 minutes. As a refresher, the current Pixel generation is only IP53 rated, which basically means it won’t die on you if it’s sprayed with water here and there, but definitely isn’t suitable for anything more than that.
The larger of the two devices, the Pixel XL 2, will be similar to its smaller brother in a lot of ways. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset, have 4 GB of RAM, and sport the same camera. It will also be waterproof, but it won’t have two speakers on the front due of a different design — more on that later. Rumors claim that it will have 128 GB of storage, but just like with the Pixel 2, we’ll probably see at least one more additional storage option.
The biggest difference between the two Pixel devices will obviously be the screen size. The Pixel XL 2 is expected to sport a 5.99-inch QHD display, pushing the device into the phablet territory. For comparison, the display found on its predecessor measures 5.5-inches.
When it comes to software, the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will run Android O, which will make its debut on the two devices. It might have a few unique features on board from the start that will set the smartphones apart from the competition. Last year, for example, Assistant was exclusive to the Pixel series for several months, but eventually made its way to other Android devices as well.
Google Pixel 2: Design
The design of the Pixel and Pixel XL wasn’t really received that well among consumers. There’s no denying that Google has played it safe, as the devices look quite generic, despite that little glass window on the back.
If you’re not a fan of the design, we have some bad news. The Google Pixel 2 will, according to the latest rumors, look quite similar to its predecessor, with a few minor differences. This means you can expect to see a metal body, somewhat large bezels with the two front-facing speakers already mentioned in the Pixel 2 specs section above, and the glass panel on the back. However, the glass will no longer surround the fingerprint reader, which will nevertheless still be located on the back of the device.
When it comes to the Pixel XL, things are a little bit different. The back of the device will likely look identical to that of its smaller brother, but the front will be quite different. Rumors suggest that the smartphone will feature small bezels around the screen, just like the Galaxy S8 and the LG G6.
This does make sense especially because the device is said to feature a large 5.99-inch display. By opting for a so-called bezel-less design, the Pixel XL will be a lot more compact when compared to other devices with the same screen size and will be a lot easier to use as well as carry around.
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen any images of the Pixel 2 or Pixel XL 2 so far, but a few concepts for the latter model have popped up online. You can check out one of them, which is based on the latest design rumors, below.
Google Pixel 2: Price
Last year’s Google Pixel series was far from affordable. The Pixel launched at $649 (32 GB) and $749 (128 GB), while the XL variant retailed for $769 (32 GB) and $869 (128 GB). We actually haven’t seen a permanent discount for the two devices yet, as both of them are still listed at that price on the Google Store.
Although we all hope that the upcoming smartphones will be more affordable, this likely won’t happen. Word on the street is that the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will carry a premium price tag and will either cost the same or even more than their predecessors.
At this price point, Google will have a hard time competing on the market. It is believed that the tech giant sold one million units of the Pixel series so far, which might sound like a big number but actually isn’t really that impressive. Samsung, for example, sold five million Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus units after just 26 days of availability. And that’s despite having their initial release limited to a few key markets like South Korea and North America. Huawei is planning to sell a total of 10 million P10 and P10 Plus smartphones, while the LG G6 is also expected to outsell the Pixel generation by a wide margin.
In order to increase sales, the best thing for Google would be to lower prices, as that would make its upcoming smartphones a lot more competitive on the market. As already mentioned, that likely won’t happen, which means you’ll have to dig deep into your pocket in order to get the Pixel 2 or Pixel XL 2.
These are all the rumors we have come across so far regarding the Google Pixel 2 release date, specs, price, and features. We’ll update this page as soon as we hear more.
Just the other day, we told you that system files on the HTC U11 revealed information about the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2. These would be the sequels to the original Pixel and Pixel XL models. Today, XDA Developers revealed that it spoke with a source that claims to have had some hands-on time with at least one of the new models. Let’s start with the “Walleye,” which is the code name for the Pixel 2 unit.
According to the source referred to by XDA, the screen on the Pixel 2 (Walleye) will weigh in at 5-inches like the original, carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution screen. The Pixel 2 is said to look very much like the OG Pixel down to sporting the same size bezels. The Snapdragon 835 chipset is under the hood, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage. While the 3.5mm headphone jack is going ‘bye-bye,’ there will be stereo speakers on the model.
XDA’s source says to expect a second, larger screened model codenamed Taimen to be the premium Pixel unit this year. This handset will feature an LG-made 6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. Smaller bezels surround the display, and powering the unit is the Snapdragon 835 SoC. 4GB of RAM is inside, and there is 128GB of native storage offered. The back will still have the metal and glass seen on the original unit, but this time the glass won’t cover the fingerprint scanner. A single camera will be on back, and this model will have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
One last piece of information leaves us ready to rev up the Mystery Machine and round up Scooby, Shaggy and the rest of the gang. The source says that on the larger Taimen model, the pre-production software used the name “Nexus Imprint” when referring to the fingerprint scanner. On the Walleye, the settings for the scanner called it “Pixel Imprint.” We’re not sure what that means, but we should find out when the new Pixels are unveiled as soon as September. Stay tuned!

Reviews & Recognition
Best Picture Books for Kids About Emotions and Feelings
"Kids will learn about jealousy and perseverance in this relatable picture book about Poppy. She wants her paper to be picked as the best in the class. When it’s not, she’s MAD. And jealous. In the end, Poppy keeps working hard and her paper is finally picked. I really love the artwork and the message in this story."
"Poppy, a flop-eared bunny, leads a cast of small, individualized animals drawn with an expressive delicacy reminiscent of Kevin Henkes' figures. Also, along with sly notes like Poppy's bright visions of future school visits and celebrity-autograph sessions, Bonnet depicts the writer-to-be in authentic throes of composition—breaking a pencil, throwing her notebook across the room, and weeping with frustration before finally buckling down. Take note, budding authors. Poppy's paper is hard-won but worth the A it gets."
"Self-confidence is not all it’s cracked up to be, as we learn from ebullient little Poppy in Susan Eaddy’s Poppy’s Best Paper, charmingly illustrated by Rosalinde Bonnet (...) Bonnet’s lively drawings are endearing and keep the story moving. Thumbs-up to clay artist Susan Eaddy on her debut picture book. She’s created a character readers will gladly visit again and again."

Then my friend Cassandra introduced me to the magic that is TJs Greek yogurt. When she described it to me ("its like yogurt with the thicker consistency of sour cream") I knew I would love it, it's that thicker yogurt that I had always been dreaming of.
Trust me a little bit goes a long way. The serving size is 1 cup but I usually probably only have 1/2 a cup because its very very rich. And its pretty tangy (my boyfriend Paul makes that unhappy puckering face whenever he accidentally eats some of this yogurt, he's not a big fan) so be generous with the added sugar, fruit or honey. I like to add about three teaspoons of sugar and some fruit (usually TJs Pear Halves or Peaches since all types of other fruit always get eaten before I can remember to save them for my yogurt treat).
Growing up I actually didn't know that you were supposed to put sour cream on baked potatoes because in my house we always used plain yogurt (weird but true and by the way mom and dad I've never met anyone else who puts yogurt on their potatoes). So I use the greek yogurt on baked potatoes and dips for chips and basically anything that requires sour cream. A quick google just confirmed my thinking that the greek yogurt is a little better for you than the sour cream (1 cup of sour cream has roughly double the calories and double the fat of 1 cup of greek yogurt).
TJs has a bunch of pre-mixed flavors of Greek Yogurt that aren't actually all that bad, they are still a little too sweet for me. The fig Greek Style yogurt actually tastes pretty yummy, even though it seems a little weird. And come on how can you not love something that takes you "on a journey to the land of ancient gods and ruins?" (see: back of the container) My first official shout-out to the awesome product copy writers at TJs.

Come with us on a journey to the land of ancient gods and ruins, where yogurt is a thick, creamy concoction with the consistency of sour cream.

Highways Agency helps woodlands flourish across England as part of National Tree Week this winter
The Highways Agency, which is one of the biggest planters of trees in England, is marking National Tree Week (26 November - 7 December) with tree planting events across its network.
A number of projects in conjunction with schools around the country will see a great opportunity for schoolchildren to get involved, and to find out how we can all contribute towards a greener future. Tree-planting events and tree care tasks will help to ensure the health and sustainability of woodlands and greenery around the strategic road network of motorways and major A roads in England.
The Highways Agency took on the (then) Ministry of Transport's tree planting programme in 1994, continuing work which originally began in 1958. In this planting season we will be planting the 52 millionth tree.
As well as screening traffic from homes and places of work, trees also provide a noise barrier, stabilise soil on verges, control water run-off onto roads as well as adjoining land and increase biodiversity. The most widely planted tree is the common oak which can play host to over 280 insect species and is the backbone of the traditional lowland English woodland. The second most used tree is the ash supporting about 40 insect species and with its more open canopy allows a richer ground flora to flourish beneath its leaves.
Tony Sangwine, environmental advisor for the Highways Agency, said:
"National Tree Week comes at the end of a wonderful display of Autumn colour on our busy highway network. It reminds us of the vital role that trees have to play in the sustainability of our transport links. They provide a rich habitat for wildlife, filter polluted air, stabilise the soil, reduce the impact of stormwater run-off and help to integrate roads with their surrounding landscape. The Highways Agency now has 14,000 hectares of woodland on its estate and much of this planting screens people from views of traffic as well as providing seasonal interest through flower, fruit and leaf colour."
National Tree Week is organised by The Tree Council and marks the start of the winter tree planting season each year.
Pauline Buchanan Black, director-general of The Tree Council, said:
"It's clear that trees improve the quality of the environment, but there are social and economic reasons to plant trees as well as environmental ones. As one of the biggest planters of trees in England, we are so pleased that the Highways Agency is committed to supporting the work of The Tree Council by helping to raise awareness and to encourage people to appreciate how important trees are for the environment."
Across the country, tree planting events will be taking place in the following areas:
North East - Tree planting event with a local school around A69 Haydon Bridge Bypass (major project) scheme.
West Midlands - Schools around the area of M42 junction 1 have been invited to join in tree planting activities.
East - the A14 Haughley to Stowmarket improvement scheme has led to 5,793 coniferous and deciduous trees being planted.
Notes to Editors
1. The Highways Agency is an executive agency of the Department for Transport. We manage, maintain and improve England's motorways and major A roads on behalf of the Secretary of State.
2. The Highways Agency is committed to meeting its statutory duties defined in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and other legislation, and to have regard to the conservation and enhancement of biological diversity across the network. In 2002, the Agency introduced its biodiversity action plan and identified 15 targets for species and habitats against which delivery would be tracked as a percentage in its Annual Report. This year the Agency aims to deliver a further 6% of these 15 targets, making a cumulative total of 67%. A variety of species and habitats will benefit from this plan, such as otters and ancient woodlands.
3. Real -time traffic information for England's motorways and major A roads is now available:
* From our new Traffic Radio service, available on DAB digital radio and the internet at http://www.trafficradio.org.uk To tune into the DAB service, simply press the "scan" button on your radio. The radio will tune into all available channels and you can select the new service by scrolling through the channels until you reach "Traffic Radio".
* On the internet at http://www.highways.gov.uk/trafficinfo
* By phone from the Highways Agency 24-hour voice activated phone service on 08700 660 115. (Calls from BT landlines to 0870 numbers will cost no more than 8p per minute; mobile calls usually cost more).
4. Before using a mobile, find a safe place to park. Never stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway except in an emergency. Make sure it's safe and legal before you call.
5. For more general information about the Highways Agency and its work, visit the Highways Agency website http://www.highways.gov.uk, or telephone the Highways Agency Information Line on 08457 50 40 30 at any time. (Calls to 0845 numbers cost no more than 3p/min from BT residential landlines. Call charges from other landlines and mobile networks may vary.)
Safe driving in severe weather
* Drivers are reminded that rain and spray can reduce visibility and when the road is wet it can take up to twice as long to stop, so it makes sense to slow down when it's raining.
* Surface water may affect motorways and major A roads so we advise drivers to move slowly through any standing water and test their brakes once they're through before continuing to drive.
* High-sided vehicles are particularly affected by windy weather but strong gusts can also blow any vehicle, cyclist, motorcyclist, or horse rider off course. This can happen on open stretches of road exposed to strong crosswinds, or when passing bridges and high-sided vehicles.
* The Highways Agency is advising drivers to plan their journey, check the weather forecast, road conditions and their route for delays before they leave home and delay travelling if the weather becomes severe.
* Drivers are also advised to carry warm clothing and an emergency pack, which includes food and water, boots, de-icer, a torch, a spade if snow is forecast, and to make sure they have plenty of fuel for the journey.

You first heard mention of this week’s feature in our interview with Darlene Christopherson last Thursday. The Love Rings Quilt was made by Darlene for her daughter’s engagement. We’re told that it’s now a favorite of her second grandson! It’s a gorgeous quilt, using a very old, traditional quilt pattern based on the Drunkard’s Path block. The selection of fabrics and color in this one are quite perfect, but really, the arrangement and contrast of the dark and light fabrics is what makes this quilt an icon. This is truly one of my favorites on the website.
Isn’t the pattern mesmerizing? Darlene set this one at an intermediate level, though I’m sure that a determined beginner could give it a shot as well. As you read last week, she is a teacher and writes fantastic instructions.
Love Rings Quilt
* Quilt shown is 56″ x 80″ using 4″ finished blocks, 14 blocks across by 20 blocks down.
280 – 4″ finished squares: 140 light prints and 140 dark prints. Packs of 5″ square are available at most quilt shops making variety easy

When it comes to finding great games for kids, this can be hard. Most of the time, you think Nintendo is the video game system for kids’ games, but Microsoft is starting to move into this field, bringing a game made for children and adults, which is perfect for interaction and getting kids interested in the video game. And then there are kids’ games on Xbox one. Xbox one games are super popular for the past few years. But what is best for kids?
You may have a hard time figuring out what’s appropriate for kids and what’s not. Some games may be too fast-paced for certain ages of children, some may be better suited to older children like a first-person shooter game that can differentiate from pretend. Examples of these are the Sane Trilogy and the Crash Bandicoot. And then there are some games that are good for kids of all ages, like Just Dance, Super Lucky’s Tale, and Spongebob Squarepants. The trick is to figure out what’s right for who. We have some recommendations for games that are good for kids right here in this article.
Read on to find out what they are.
Lego Marvel Superheroes 2
While this does have an age rating for children over the age of 7, it mostly depends on the children and parents who are in question, since it’s not as graphic as the movies are, but it does have cartoon battle that could portray violence. But Lego games are known to be good, and if your kids like Marvel, they’ll love this. Perhaps the older family members can filter the games so that the kids can be monitored. It’s got an original story that brings all the superheroes and villains from the comic book universe together, and if your child loves superheroes, then this is for them. This LEGO game is the perfect game for comic book fans. You can get this one for Windows, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One consoles. It’s also available for macOS now.
Chances are if they don’t know about these and the genre is new to them, then they may not like this yet, and it might be a little too old for them. It does teach some core values, including teamwork, doing the right thing, and even laughing in the darkest times, and it will increase hand-eye coordination, selective filtering, and spatial awareness, which are core skills.
If you’ve ever played Banjo Kazooie, then this is a familiar game. It’s essentially the spiritual successor to this game, and it’s a fun platforming game that comes with interesting characters, really pretty graphics, and gameplay that is fun.
It involves the role of a duo named Yooka who is a chameleon and a bat named Laylee, similar to Banjo and Kazooie, who work together with their abilities that help you progress through levels. In kids’ games on Xbox one, players unlock moves as they go through every single level, offering more options for them to play, and it’s a great choice for kids since it’s made by developers that have brought lifelike characters to a game made for having fun.
Banjo Kazooie was a huge success on Nintendo 64 and this new game has been very much anticipated. Yooka-Laylee is one of the best Xbox One games for kids. It’s designed for kids so it’s not going to have any features to it that you have to gauge where they land on your moral compass. It’s also one of the best family pc game pack options.
Minecraft Story Mode
This is the familiar blocky world that kids love, but it actually involves the whole cast of characters, along with a linear story that allows children to use their building abilities to seek out a group of heroes called the Order of the Stone and will save the world.
This is an online game that allows them to talk to characters, find various items, and even solve puzzles to access areas and move forward. It’s not an open world, but it has traditional Minecraft elements. This is good for both experienced and new players, who want a story with their Minecraft adventure. Minecraft is one of the best-selling games of its time. It’s also available through the Xbox Game Pass where you can find a number of different multiplayer games.
Kingdom Hearts 3
If your child has played the other Kingdom Hearts games, then they’ll love 3. It’s the conclusion to the current saga that they’re on, but it’s not just about the story and characters, but it’s also about the fun adventures in the Disney worlds they’ll love. Some of the areas you can visit include Arendelle from Frozen, Olympus from Hercules, and even the Toy Story world where you scale through Big Al’s toy store. It is geared towards older kids, but if your child loves kingdom hearts, then this is a good one for them to consider getting. And, if they understand the story of kingdom hearts, it’s even more worthwhile.
You can get this game on many different game consoles. It is also currently available on Xbox Game Pass, but that will likely only be for a limited time. The game gives kids the chance to explore a wide variety of places they’re already familiar with.
Beatrix LeBeau is the main character in Slime Rancher. Beatrix leaves Earth and travels to Far, Far Range, the land of slime. She decides to attempt being a Slime Rancher who has to wrangle slime. Though it proves to be a tough life, Beatrix stays determined to be the best Slime Rancher there is. Slime Rancher is a great game for younger game players, with lots of fun colors and a cute, well-thought theme.
This one is fun for anyone that enjoys creating total environments and then having to maintain them. Stardew Valley is a life game. It’s one where you build a farm, live at it, socialize in the community, decorate your home, and explore the world around you. There’s also some dating and starting of families in Stardew Valley, so it’s best played by older kids who have a better understanding of these types of concepts.
Tales of Vesperia
Now Tales of games have a teen rating, but younger kids can play these with their parents. This one isn’t necessarily violent or graphic, though it does have some parts to it. If your child likes RPGs, this is a great one for them to start with. It involves a man named Yuri who doesn’t like how his area is being treated. He helps the princess Estelle escape the castle, and from there ends up on an adventure with a ragtag crew, including a pirate girl that wasn’t in the original. You can play this one as a player in local multiplayer mode with your friends.
This is a release of the original game for kids’ games on Xbox one, which didn’t have all the content it does now. It’s a great game for kids who love these types of games, though the language might be a bit too hard for younger ones. You can also find this one on the Xbox series.
Getting children moving can be hard, but Just Dance does that, and it helps kids stay active with music hits, and allows them to build rhythm and balance. You can install this on a smartphone, hold the phone, and then the game tracks your movements while you move. It’s a super straightforward and easy way for you to get moving, and it’s quite fun too, and super energetic. If you have parties, this is a great one, and with over 40 different tracks and 300 songs that are available with Just Dance unlimited, you can dance to hits that you will enjoy, and ones that you and your kids will know.
This kind of game gets kids into their creative mode. It’s fun for all different ages and encourages physical fitness.
This is a toy and game set all in one. Essentially, what it is for the child is you get the toys and figures that you play with, but then, you scan those into a video game, and they can be played digitally. It’s a toys-to-life game, a new trend for kids’ games, and it takes you a step further by allowing you to build the playsets and figures in many cases from popular licenses, and it is a fun lego set that is seen in the game itself, and you can even swap in characters from different licenses to every single level, so if you want to create an Indiana Jones and a Marvel heroes crossover with Scooby-Doo, you can do that with this fun game. While this is one of the best Xbox One games for kids, it’s not available on Xbox Game Pass.
These Xbox one games are fun for children, but also for everyone, and they are quite interesting for kids, and you as a parent will enjoy them. They are fun to play together, and you’ll be amazed at how much of a ball you’ll have with these, and the cool things that you can do in these games as well.

Less is more with the Kiura Black Chronograph Watch. Designed by Alessio Romano, this watch was inspired by the word "chi ura," a word in his Sicilian dialect. Kiura also connects to the Japanese language. Much like Japan's pillars of simplicity, harmony, ethics, and severity, designers often ponder on the classic chronograph watch. This interpretation by Romano has a contemporary design that can be worn for any occasion.

President Rodrigo Duterte has again endorsed Bohol as an attractive investment destination.
Duterte, speaking to tourism and business players in Davao City on Friday last week, recommended the Visayas particularly Bohol and Cebu as “very good” venues for investments.
“Upwards toward the north, the Visayas would be a good place to look and think of things that you can do or invest your money in those places… Cebu and Bohol are really good places to consider,” he said during the inauguration of the DusitD2 Davao Hotel.
Duterte made the endorsement after he said that he would not recommend any new investments in western Mindanao, citing the “law and order” situation of the region.
“I do not recommend any new economic activity or investment on the western side, especially in the islands there. I do not think that it would be prudent for you to consider it,” the President said.
It was not the first time that Duterte recommended Bohol as a good venue for investments this year.
In June, he included the province as among the new industrial destinations of the country which he presented to at least 20 Thai businessmen during a courtesy visit at the Waldorf Astoria in Bangkok, Thailand.
“I invite you to ride on the momentum of Philippine growth story and invest especially in the new industrial destinations of Metro Manila, Pampanga, Clark, Cebu, Bohol, and Davao,” he said.

Zayn Malik wasn’t shy about teaming up neon colors and bold prints during a recent stroll through New York City. Read on to take a look at his fearless outfit.
The British-born singer, who recently appeared in his first post-breakup selfie with on-again, off-again girlfriend Gigi Hadid, wore a colorful graphic tee shirt with an outline of a man with a Beatles-style shaggy haircut and mustache on the front of it.
The top on its own would have been enough of a statement piece, but Zayn took the look a step further. He wore a pair of tweed pants that were cropped just enough to reveal a flash of orange socks.
On his feet, the “Pillowtalk” singer wore a pair of white and blue Nikes that featured a coordinating pop of orange along the front.
He didn’t accessorize much, choosing to only pull on some rectangular sunglasses. But, his new cut and silvery blue hair color served an accessory in itself.
Back in April, while on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, Zayn admitted that he has finished the follow-up to his debut album Mind of Mine. "There is there is an album title. I've got the whole concept, and everything done, yeah," he said. However, fans are still counting down the days until a release date is confirmed.
Are you excited for Zayn's new album? Let us know in the comments!

Recipe by Veronica Foods
¼ cup Garlic Olive Oil
¼ cup Spicy Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil + 2 tablespoons for finishing
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 (8-ounce) jar clam juice or chicken stock
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
green onions, sliced
white rice for serving
To make a roux, whisk ¼ cup Garlic olive Oil with ¼ cup Baklouti Olive Oil along with flour in a large heavy saucepan (cast iron is perfect, but any heavy-bottomed pot or pan will do) over medium to medium-low heat. Once combined, it is easier to use a wooden spoon to stir. Stir continuously for at least 20 minutes, until mixture turns a dark caramel color. It should darken very slowly. Take your time! If it darkens too fast, turn down the heat. The roux will burn if the heat is too high or you don’t stir continuously.
Turn heat to low and add onion, green pepper, and celery to roux. It will start to sizzle loudly and darken some in color. Cook 5 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Add clam juice, tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, black, white, and cayenne pepper, salt, thyme, and Tabasco. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes.
Add shrimp and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and add butter. Stir to mix it in.
Serve with green onions, white rice and a drizzle of Baklouti Chili Oil to finish.


British Columbia, Canada, and parts of Alberta have been experiencing the most intense fire season in history. California is having a horrendous fire season as well, with over 8,000 people fleeing in the scorching heat, although fortunately there have been no reported civilian casualties in any fire. At least 10 structures were destroyed in that blaze. Days later, 11,000 people were forced to flee in BC. Both BC and Alberta have issued fire bans because of tinderbox conditions. Campfires are only allowed in approved locations, and ATVs are banned altogether. Humans have caused about half the fires in BC and Alberta, but the other half of almost 930 fires BC has seen since April was caused by lightning. One fire burning near Highway 93, a popular highway known for its wildlife and leading to hotspots like Radium Hot Springs and Invermere, has already scorched over 130 sq. km. (50.19 sq. mi). Many livestock animals live in that region and are kept behind wooden fences, many of which are burning and replacing these fences and relocating live stock alone are costing the province over $6 million. Firefighters from as far away as Australia are being called in to fight the raging infernos. This all adds up to a massive bill for the BC and Alberta governments. In Montana, a dozen homes were destroyed in a monstrous blaze that cost a volunteer inmate firefighter his life. Whatever his debt to society was, it is fair to say it was decisively paid.A heatwave has sprung up parts of Europe and has killed at least two people. The heat is so intense that the heat wave has been named Lucifer. The peak temperature was 39ºC (102.2ºF). In Spain, there were punishing temperatures peaking 44ºC (112ºF). In Serbia, train routes were delayed as the tracks buckled from the heat. In BC last week, temperatures hit 37ºC(98.6ºF). While not as extreme as Lucifer, its constancy is not only responsible for the out of control conflagrations, but also for extremely high health risks due to air quality. Smoke from forest fires can cause or exacerbate heart and lung diseases. Alberta, Calgary in particular, has not been much better, with the mercury rising as high as 30ºC more than 6 times. That is three times the average, and some of those days hit 37ºC(i8.6ºF) too. Keep in mind that these temperatures are without the humidex. The heat is one reason the fire season in Western Canada and America is so intense. Hot weather lowers the amount of heat that fuel needs to burn, so the fuel is ignited more easily which means it starts more easily and spreads more easily. There has also been very little rain, leaving Alberta and BC in drought. In fact, Kelowna, BC, the wine growing region is in its third longest drought in recorded history. Overall, this has been a historic, tragic fire season.

Hello I am Verena and I have a Master's degree In Classical double bass (French Bow) as well as a background in studying of Electric Bass. I can teach the basis and the advanced skills of approaching these Instruments. The key for someone to love studying music Is I believe the approach to playing in the first place. I consider myself a very kind and patient person, with a passion for teaching and knowing new people. I have always combined classical music with my passion for all stringed Instruments. Here is my Passion for Guitar specifically for Acoustic Guitar using folk/ Finger Picking Techniques. Due to the difficulty of having access in the first place to Instruments like the double bass, I think It Is essential to have the opportunity for a first lesson before deciding to invest In an Instrument.

Jappe - Kapellen49€
Trusted teacher: Hi I'm Jappe, a 30 year old man with a huge passion for music and teaching. After my studies at the Jazz/Popsoul studio in Antwerp, I started teaching in the region. Soon I noticed that many people who have played guitar for years (sometimes 20 to 30 years) still lack a fundamental basis. This basis is essential for understanding the instrument. The guitar is a logical tool, if you follow some steps to see the "bigger picture". I have 15 years of experience and performed on various stages, including Street parties, Permeke Festival, Easywood Festival, Antwerp Tower and at the Mas in Antwerp. I also had the opportunity to study with some top guitarists from Belgium and the Netherlands, such as Frank Peeters, Ruben Machtelinckx, Peter Verbraecken, Koen Wauters and Paolo Loveri. The genres in which I have a lot of experience are: Pop, Rock, Blues, Boogie Woogie, Ragtime, Country, Funk, Jazz, Classical, Flamenco, Reggae and Latin. Both fingerstyle and traditional with the pick.

Trusted teacher: FRENCH: I have been in music since I was 5 years old, I decided to make it my job and so I studied at the Brussels Conservatory (Master level). I specialize in jazz but my favorite field remains Groove music. I also went through a lot of styles (rock, funk, pop, reggae,...) during my years of learning the bass. To get an idea of my playing style, my main influence in Jazz bass is Dario Deidda. I'm very inspired by "underground" bands from Brussels like Stuff, ECHT, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Ciao Kennedy,... Abroad I could mention Athletic Progression, KUF, Takuya Kuroda, Vels trio, Vulfpeck (and dozens of others!) Without forgetting the classics like Parliament, Earth Wind and fire, PUSH, Jamiroquai,... I don't have a particular method. Unless my student requests it, my lessons are done by feeling according to his desires and his objectives. We can very well just learn pieces and at the same time deepen the technique and the knowledge of the music if requested. The goal is to have fun.

Trusted teacher: Hello, my name is Victor and I am 23 years old. I am currently a student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz and before that I was 2 years at the Regional Conservatory of Lille in jazz bass / double bass and classical double bass. I also graduated from the EF2M in Tourcoing. I started music at the age of 8 with the piano, then I turned to the guitar at 12 and then to the electric bass at 16. When I entered the Lille Conservatory, I also took up the double bass. I practiced several styles: jazz, rock, blues, metal, classical, soul, funk, etc... and the fact of having played several instruments helps me to have a more global vision of music, and to find what is interesting in each of the styles. This openness I want to pass on in my classes. I have several years of stage experience with different projects, and I have also worked in the studio, notably with the house music artist Bellaire. My pedagogy focuses on spontaneous and mainly oral learning of music. There is no need to know music theory. I would approach some theoretical notions according to what we work together, and your curiosity on this subject. I would emphasize listening, rhythm and playing together. There will be part of the work devoted to instrumental technique (how to get a beautiful sound out of the instrument, how to play without getting tired and without hurting yourself, what are the different ways of making a bass sound depending on the style), and the the rest of the time we can work on pieces, approach improvisation, group play, composition, or other subjects according to your requests.
Trusted teacher: La basse électrique est un instrument très important, ainsi que le pivot de la musique. J'ai conçu ce cours de musique en ligne pour ceux qui aimeraient commencer à apprendre à jouer de la basse à partir de l'étude du doigté, de l'étude des techniques utilisées, de l'étude de la lecture musicale et du solfège rythmique.
