Start by booking your Renaissance Aruba Resort room here.Īll in all, we enjoyed our stay at the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort. These cabanas do sell out in advance, so I recommend booking as early as you can! If you want to book a cabana with kids, remember that Flamingo Beach is adults-only, so you'll need to book one of the Iguana Beach ones. Now, though, it appears this may not be the case – you can reserve cabanas online now. You used to only be able to book these cabanas if you were staying at one of the Renaissance hotels. They can all hold 4 or 6 people.) Booking a private cabana In high season, though, prices do go up for some of the cabanas. (Speaking of pennies, the cabana we rented runs $425+ tax during the low season. This is also where the Renaissance's 6 flamingos live. This is where you'll find the private island spa services, a mangrove nature walk, a small beach bar, and a smattering of sun loungers in the sand. Flamingo Beachįlamingo Beach is the adults-only beach on Renaissance Private Island. Once on the island, you have two separate beaches to choose from: Flamingo Beach to the right of the dock, and Iguana Beach to the left of the dock.Īlso near the boat dock are restrooms, a small shop, and the stand where you can get free towels and rent water gear like snorkel masks, floats, paddleboards, and even kayaks. The route takes you right past the airport, and if you're lucky you might even have a plane fly right over your head! Renaissance Private Island The ride out to Renaissance Private Island takes about 10 minutes. When the tides cooperate, the boats pick up from right inside the Marina Hotel atrium, which is pretty cool. There's one pickup for the Marina Hotel, and another for the Ocean Suites. every day, usually running at 15-minute intervals. This is definitely a nice added bonus.įree shuttle boats run from both Renaissance hotels from 7 a.m. Staying at one gets you access to the other, as well, whether its swimming at the pool or charging a meal to your room. ![]() The best part is, though, that any package you purchase is good at both the Marina Hotel and Ocean Suites. (Plus, we don't drink enough to make an open bar tab worth it!) Since these hotels are so close to downtown Oranjestad, we knew we wanted to eat off-property at least a few times. ![]() You *can* get an all-inclusive package at the Renaissance (which covers restaurants and bars at both hotels), but we opted to go with a special package that gave us a $50 credit each day instead.

I found that a repeat scan finished in just a few seconds. However, because the scan flags safe files that don't need to be looked at again, a second scan goes much faster. This scan took over an hour, quite a bit longer than last year's edition of AVG. I found another option called Deep Virus Scan. In testing, the full scan finished in just six minutes, which led me to peruse all the scan options. It also scans for junk files, revealing browser traces, system logs, and Registry problems-but if you want to fix those you must start your short-time trial of AVG PC Tuneup. Clicking it launches a full scan, which does more than just scan for malware. In the middle, below the two panes, is a big button labeled Scan Computer. To enable those, you must upgrade to AVG's non-free security suite. The Full protection panes icons represent protection for private data, protection during online payments, and protection against hack attacks, all three disabled. The Basic protection pane includes icons for computer protection and for Web and email protection, both enabled. This year, the color scheme hasn't changed, but almost everything else has. Last year's edition of the antivirus looked extremely similar to AVG Zen, with the same color scheme and the same circle-based status indicators. You do get a one-day trial of the tuneup product along with the free antivirus I'll discuss that below. Likewise, you won't see anything in the PC Tuneup panel unless you install AVG PC TuneUp. As for the VPN panel, that one remains empty unless you separately install the Hide My Ass VPN. If you followed the installer's instructions regarding Web Tuneup, that panel displays a full circle. That becomes a full circle only if you upgrade to the paid edition. When you install the free antivirus, you see a three-quarter circle in the antivirus panel. If all is well, the circle glows green if your attention is needed, it changes color. ![]() Each panel contains a circle that can be fully or partially colored, depending on whether or not you've installed all possible protection in that area. It's similar in many ways to the component that helps you manage McAfee AntiVirus Plus and other McAfee products.įour panels dominate Zen's main window, devoted to antivirus, PC tuneup, VPN, and Web Tuneup. Like all AVG products, the antivirus includes AVG Zen, a management and launching utility that offers an overview of AVG security on all of your devices. ![]() However, as I'll explain below, installing AVG in the browser gets you a ton of useful security features. It does offer to install a plug-in for all of your browsers, and replace your home page, new tab page, and default search. You don't have to enter a credit card, and if you do nothing, at the end of the trial it reverts to the free antivirus. You can choose the free antivirus or start a 30-day free trial of the suite. There's a certain amount of upsell when you go to install the free antivirus, but it's much more laid back than, for example, Comodo. Of course, AVG only makes money if somebody purchases the for-pay security suite.

I also tend to toggle tracking on and off. ![]() (When Word’s classic comments have been set to display in the margins, there’s no option not to show formatting there also.) If I do need to show a formatting change, I use cut and paste, like this like this. Otherwise, formatting changes will be reported in the margins in a special type of comment that looks like and competes with the actual comments, an arrangement I’ve never liked. And though my own settings in Word won’t determine how my documents display for others, I prefer to underlineadditions, strike throughdeletions, and show comments in the margins:īut I turn off the option to track formatting. Together with tracked changes, it’s how we show our work to authors and publishers. Word’s commenting feature is a copyeditor’s bread and butter. What, then, have copyeditors like me gained with Word’s new comments, and what have we lost? Word’s “Classic” Comments That includes the comments we use to document our changes and query any loose ends. Ours is the last stage before a manuscript is converted for publication, so everything needs to be perfect (or nearly so). We aren’t looking for feedback, not until we’re ready for it. ![]() Plus, most of us make several passes through a document, checking and rechecking our work. Our documents may live in the cloud (on Dropbox or some other file-hosting service), and we do send them back to the author or publisher when we’re done with them (usually via email), but they’re not shared-not in the real-time, collaborative sense of that word. And there are some real advantages to the new interface.īut Word’s new comments are less easy to get excited about if, like me and most of the other copyeditors I know, you do your main work in isolation. The opposite of modern is outdated, old-fashioned, antiquated. This update sounds like it should be a good one. If you use Word, and unless you have your updates turned off, there’s a good chance you have them by now, or will soon. Over the last year and a half (beginning in April 2021), Microsoft has been rolling out its “modern comments” to Word 365 users on both Windows and Mac platforms. For every $1.00 taxpayers invest in SNAP, they get a return of more than $1.50. Vilsack has the opportunity to demonstrate to Congressional Republicans that instead of being an example of “socialism,” expanding SNAP is smart, efficient government. The depth and severity of this crisis - which affects rural and urban communities, Republicans and Democrats alike - should awaken an empathy and urgency that has thus far been lacking in many of those who represent our interests in Washington. ![]() Expanding SNAP would help solve the problem, cutting out the waste and redundancy in the USDA program and allowing the hungry to shop at local grocery stores instead of waiting in hours-long lines at food banks that were never designed for this kind of demand. Many of these food banks lack the capacity, staffing and systems to effectively distribute this food. Our government will spend $4.5 billion by the end of the year to purchase and distribute food to food banks that are in direct competition with our grocery industry. While food banks are an important option of last resort, the current USDA is making them the option of first resort for millions of Americans. Due to a technicality in the law, many military families are ineligible for food assistance despite the fact that up to 18 percent of military and veteran households have had someone seek food assistance, according to the advocacy group Blue Star Families. ![]() And we should get help to members of our military and their families who need it. Revisions to SNAP should also include a simplification of the P-EBT program, which was intended to help families with school age children offset the loss of breakfasts and lunches while schools were closed, but has been so plagued by administrative problems that thus far no state has been able to distribute this food aid during the current school year. Add restaurants to the list of places Americans can use SNAP until the crisis is resolved and it could help support countless small restaurants that are in deep trouble as well as become another destination for farmers’ produce. The near-term opportunity is to expand SNAP to everyone on unemployment and others devastated by the economic free fall, including undocumented workers who are a critical part of America, our economy and our ability to feed ourselves. One of President-elect Biden’s best opportunities to demonstrate his administration’s capability to “Build Back Better,” will be by allowing Vilsack to initiate a smart, effective, and efficient buildup of SNAP. ![]() Tom Vilsack, Biden’s choice for Secretary of Agriculture, was a champion of nutrition programs when he served in this position in the Obama administration. Expanding SNAP to more people is the way to do it. First, and fundamentally, Americans need food in their bellies. But the relief bill does not significantly expand eligibility beyond some children under six, some college students, and allowing applicants to have their unemployment benefits not count as income. The new Coronavirus relief bill increases that benefit by 15% for the next six months. In March, states were allowed to seek waivers to allow all SNAP participants to receive the maximum benefit. While assistance to families through today’s version of the Food Stamp program, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), has increased during this pandemic, given the number of hungry Americans it isn’t nearly enough. ![]() It was a Secretary of Agriculture from Iowa-the visionary Henry Wallace-who oversaw it and forever changed food policy in America. During the Great Depression President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration recognized the need for the government to step in to help feed hungry Americans and created the Food Stamp program. ![]() Shopify sets this cookie to remember the user’s country of origin and populate the correct transaction currency.

Want to learn more about your daily sleep data? Check out a few of the articles below. Getting the most out of your SleepScore Max means understanding all the helpful features, including your nightly hypnogram. The more nights you track, and the more Sleep Guide advice you put into action, the more progress you’ll be able to see in your hypnogram. Learning about the sleep stages, how we move about them throughout the night, and what our habits are is essential for making meaningful improvements. The point of having the hypnogram available is so you can better understand your unique sleep patterns. Because SleepScore Labs does the legwork, so you can sit back and wait for specific advice to be generated. We compare your objective nightly sleep data, profile information, daily behaviors, and environmental data against those of other sleepers with a similar profile to evaluate your rest and provide personalized advice and solutions. We evaluate your nightly data and, through the Sleep Guide, send you detailed insights and actionable advice so you can begin to address your specific sleep issues. Now that you understand your hypnogram, you might wonder what comes next? This is where the experts at SleepScore Labs come in. Viewing the two pieces as part of the big picture will help you get a better sense of your nightly rest. Your sleep summary shows you the same data as your hypnogram, except it’s calculated in total hours and minutes spent in each stage. The hypnogram is only part of the equation though and works best when viewed in conjunction with your sleep summary data. If you notice that you’re waking up frequently throughout the night, you can implement tactics like creating a bedroom ideal for sleep, so you have fewer nightly interruptions. For example, if you see a pattern of minimal deep sleep, but an overabundance of light sleep, there are steps you can take to increase your deep sleep. The hypnogram’s purpose is to provide a general sense of your nightly sleep behaviors. You can also see how long it took to fall asleep, and when you woke up in the morning. You may experience large chunks of REM, deep, or light sleep, with intermittent wake ups. This is where you’ll gain a greater understanding of what your night looks like and why you might be missing parts of your most important sleep stage. In your second hypnogram chart, you’ll see the detailed view of your sleep, broken down by half-hour increments. These are all normal behaviors, but our goal is to help balance your sleep, so your hypnogram reflects healthy amounts of light, deep, and REM sleep, as well as reduced wake times. You may also have woken up several times throughout the night. As you look through your hypnogram, you may see you jump around from light, deep, and REM frequently. The colors of each stage correspond to the detailed breakdown chart located father down. Along the y-axis are the four sleep stages we are monitoring, starting with deep sleep at the top, then light, REM, and lastly your sleep onset times and nightly awakenings. You’ll notice the x-axis lays out the hours of the night, broken up into two-hour increments. The top chart of your hypnogram is a visualization of your night at a glance. In this article, we’ll lay out what each piece of the hypnogram means, how to interpret your data, and what to do with the data once you understand it. The hypnogram is your go-to resource to learn what the sleep architecture of your evening looks like. While the hypnogram might look intimidating at first glance, it’s been designed to be an intuitive way to understand your own unique night of rest.

This was my own little Black Mirror episode, where I was the target not because I was a victim, but because I had perpetrated a wrong against this mob. I despise how this was triggered by a viral post that represented the worst of fake news. I swear to god if you ever review this game, I’m gonna smash you in the face doom guy style. I’m not trying to overplay my victimhood, but you get the picture. Afterward, the Gamergaters, or hardline reactionaries - or whatever we would like to call them - believed this narrative fit into their views about game journalists just fine. His post was political propaganda for the disenfranchised gamers, the sort who went from Gamergate to the alt-right and elected Donald Trump as president.īefore he got to it, my video had maybe 10,000 views. He used me to condemn all game journalists, raising the smoldering issues around Gamergate and its focus on game journalism ethics. He clipped it to the 2.5 minutes of the most damning inept gameplay, and he posted it to his followers. Stand by for more on that, if you’re willing to read more than 140 characters.Īnother game journalist (and some say “shitlord”) saw my video. I was messing around at first, and I wasn’t focused and serious until I had warmed up.īut there are things I will not apologize for. So many people didn’t realize that this wasn’t a serious review. It was naively devoid of context that possibly could have headed off that anger. I didn’t make a weighty judgment about whether you should buy Cuphead or not.

Mike Minotti of GamesBeat plays them, and he will likely do the formal review of the game when it comes out on September 29.īut he wasn’t at Gamescom in Germany, and I was. In fact, platform games like Cuphead are not my specialty. My own responses to my critics revealed my ignorance on a number of facts. I apologize to my fellow game journalists, as I just made everybody’s lives tougher again. I apologize that so many expected the best from me, and they got horrible gameplay. As my colleague pointed out, I misread the climate in which it was received. I mentioned from the first sentence that I suck at Cuphead. Not just the tone of the video and the story. I intended it to be funny, and I apologize that I so misread the tone. It wasn’t just the troglodytes of the internet who hated it. By a ratio of more than 12-to-1, the ratings on the YouTube video are negative. I said it was hard, and the fans saw my gameplay and decided I was a poor judge of difficulty. ![]() The more people looked at my poor gameplay, which I myself labeled shameful, the angrier they got. I played the tutorial so ineptly - failing to read the onscreen instructions to jump and dash simultaneously - and then went on, failing to conquer a single level. I only wish my two books on the Xbox business generated as much attention as the Cuphead story. The only stories that I’ve written which have generated more traffic are a tips guide I wrote for Until Dawn, and a 7,000-word investigative story about the defects in the Xbox 360 game console. Now I have one, thanks to my penchant for oversharing. I’ve been vain enough to wish for a big audience for my stories or social posts. |
