weather radio Buyer's Guide
NWR All Hazards or Public Alert logo
One or both of these logos are important to look for when you are shopping for a weather radio. Weather radios with either of these logos are up to the standards of operation set by the National Weather Service. Radios that do not include these logos may not be as high in quality.
SAME stands for "Specific Area Message Encoding." This technology allows you to receive local alerts. The majority of NOAA broadcasts cover a large geographic area. Sometimes all you want to know is what is going on near you. You don't necessarily care what is going on several states away. Again, some radios allow you to opt to only receive certain alerts, ignoring those which are not applicable to you.
Audio alerts and flashing lights
The best weather radios will give you some kind of audible and/or visual signal when there is a report. This could be a tone, or it could take the form of flashing lights. Many units are equipped with both capabilities. Look for a model that includes a large, clear, backlit LCD display. That way you can read what is going on at a glance.
Power options
The majority of simple weather radios are designed to operate on AC power and/or batteries and no other power options. Some weather radios do include additional options, however, especially the portable models. You may for example be able to use a hand crank to power up the device. More often, these additional power options (as well as device charging options) are included in devices known as "emergency radios." If you live in an area which is prone to power cuts, you may wish to consider an emergency radio instead of a simple weather alert radio.
Some weather radios are waterproof (or at least water-resistant). When should you consider a waterproof model? This is a good feature if you want to install your device in the shower (this is more common than you might realize). Waterproofing is also important for portable models you intend to take hiking or boating. Also consider it if you live in an area which receives a lot of heavy rain and flooding.
After 1hours of research, considering dozens of emergency weather radios and testing eight popular models, we're confident the Midland ER2is the best choice for most people. It has better reception, a brighter flashlight, and more-effective charging options than the other models we tested, including the ability to charge from dead by solar power or hand-cranking.
Larger and longer-lasting than our pick
The ER210's larger cousin, the Midland ER3is a great upgrade if you want a heftier build with a larger battery to match. It gets 1hours of radio between charges compared with six hours for the smaller ER2The ER3also makes a great base station for your campsite—it's bright, loud, and large enough that it shouldn't blow away in a storm. There's also an ultrasonic dog whistle to help search-and-rescue teams find you if things get really hairy. Besides portability, the only downside compared with the smaller ER2is that the crank generator gets only about minutes of power from one minute of cranking, but this is mitigated by its longer-lasting battery.
Who should get this
Weather radios are an essential part of any emergency survival kit, and even if you don't live in an area that's particularly prone to hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, being prepared is still a good idea. Those of you who are accustomed to inclimate conditions might already have a desktop radio with Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) to alert you in the case of an impending storm, but if you're looking for a reliable battery-operated alternative to get you through a blackout or worse, a battery-powered, waterproof weather radio is ideal. That blaring flash-flood warning on your phone won't help if your phone is out of service or out of battery.
A good weather radio does more than just warn about a coming storm, however. During a power outage, transit, or some other unexpected scenario, it can also provide power for your phone and other devices, as well as a flashlight. Most weather radios pick up AM/FM radio as well, so it will also come in handy if you want some portable entertainment that doubles as a backup battery on your next camping trip (and you won't have to worry about your streaming data or LTE reception).
How we picked
Every model we tested. Left column (top to bottom): CompassCulture Weather Radio, Epica Emergency Radio, Sangean MMR-8Center column: Eton/Red Cross FRX-3, Kaito KA-500. Right column: RunningSnail Weather Radio, Midland ER210, Midland ER310.
Ability to receive signals from NOAA's Weather Radio All Hazards, a nationwide network of radio stations that broadcast continuous weather information directly from the nearest National Weather Service office. The signal covers all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and US Pacific Territories, and is much more reliable than standard AM/FM radio or cell service.
The ability to receive dedicated weather alerts from NOAA's Emergency Alert System is also important if you live in a tornado- or flash-flood-prone area. These messages, which are broadcast over the weather-band frequencies, automatically turn the radio into a siren of flashing lights and sounds to warn of upcoming storms or other crucial information that could affect the general area. There are also hyper-specific Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) alerts, which require you to manually program your location and then transmit a series of codes that are relevant to only that exact position (SAME-enabled radios tend to be stationary, rather than portable). It's not a total dealbreaker if your radio can't pick up either of these alert signals, as long as it still gets the main NOAA signal. But it does mean you will have to remember to turn it on in anticipation of inclement weather. This is primarily an issue for people in tornado- or flood-prone areas where sudden weather events are more of a concern, but it's a good peace-of-mind feature to have regardless of your geographic location.
Multiple charging options and a reliable battery are crucial in an emergency situation. A pair of AA batteries alone won't get you through a serious storm (neither will a USB wall charger), so we looked for models with solar panels and/or hand-cranked generators. If a radio can use the solar panels or hand crank to charge from dead, that's even better.
Additional features like a flashlight or the ability to charge your phone are helpful as well. Especially if you can charge your phone by crank.
After considering all these factors, we ended up testing eight different models: the Compass Culture Weather Radio, Epica Emergency Radio, Eton/Red Cross FRX-3, Kaito KA-500, Midland ER310, Midland ER210, RunningSnail Weather Radio, and Sangean MMR-88.
Pull Quote
One minute of cranking provided more than 4minutes of radio, and nearly a half hour of flashlight power.
When the ER210's siren sounds and the lights begin flashing, you can press any button to switch to your favorite (preprogrammed) NOAA weather channel to give you the news. If you fail to turn on the radio before a minute goes by, the weather memory indicator will flash every five seconds to let you know that an alert has been issued. So even if you're out of the house when the alarm goes off, you'll still know that some ugly conditions are headed your way once you get home.
In our initial tests, the Midland ER2easily overpowered every other radio's alert, with the exception of the ER310, which is made with similar components. Even when the models were placed outside, the ER2and ER3still made it clear that there was some kind of emergency. Meanwhile every other alert just sounded like a distant, unplaceable beeping. At one point after initial testing, I neglected to turn off the weather alert feature and was greeted by a real-life tornado warning from the ER2while I was on the phone with my insurance company. Trust me, it's loud—or if you don't trust me, you can ask Tara at UnitedHealthcare customer service for her thoughts.
The ER2also has all the power and charging options we were looking for. It operates on a replaceable, rechargeable 2,600 mAh lithium-ion battery pack that you can juice up via the built-in hand crank, top-mounted solar panel, or Micro-USB port. The solar panels charge automatically as long as the radio is in the path of sunlight. They also function even when it's totally dead; as soon it shut off, it began to charge itself again. The ER-2was also one of the only models we tested that actually delivered on the power of its crank charge as advertised: One minute of cranking provided more than 4minutes of radio, and nearly a half hour of flashlight power (although the cranking sound of the internal hand generator at work is a little loud and annoying).
In a pinch, you can use that rechargeable battery to charge your smartphone as well, thanks to the built-in USB output port. The built-in reserve/backup battery will also keep the internal clock and radio presets running for weeks at a time, even without radio or flashlight support.
The ER2(left) is smaller and easier to hold than the ER310.
Weather radios come in many shapes and sizes, and at 2¾ by by 6½ inches, the ER2fits comfortably into most people's hands without feeling overly awkward; by comparison, the ER3feels like a commitment to carry, and the crossbars on the Eton/Red Cross FRXare too small and rigid for some hands to fit through. Several other models we tested came with canvas straps, which were also fine, but we still preferred the size, comfort, and durability of the ER210's plastic handle.
The ER210's handle also held up well in our drop test, especially compared with the Epica Emergency Radio's handle, which shattered after a tumble to the sidewalk. By contrast, the ER2emerged unscathed from both our drop tests and our water-resilience tests, with a few barely noticeable scratches to show for it. This made it among the sturdiest models we tested. Should anything go awry with the hardware, Midland offers a one-year limited warranty.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Nearly every other weather radio we tested could last for upwards of 1hours with the flashlight and radio on full blast—but the ER2ran for only about six hours. This shouldn't be a problem for most people, however, because you're not likely to use both features nonstop until the power drops. You should be fine if you're mindful of how much energy you're using at any given time. Although, again, the plentiful and effective charging options mitigate this in most scenarios.
The competition
The CompassCulture Weather Radio is physically identical to our runner-up pick, the RunningSnail, with a red case instead of a green one. However, the battery didn't last as long after charging from dead with the solar panel or the hand crank; we tried three times to replicate the results, and it failed each time. Still, if the RunningSnail isn't available, the CompassCulture would make an adequate replacement.
As a company, Sangean is known first and foremost for its radios. So it's no surprise that the audio quality on the Sangean MMR-8was vastly superior to anything else we tested. But most people looking to buy a weather radio aren't too concerned with crisp tones and solid bass response. For some reason, the digital radio tuner also went up by single digits, even though there are no even-numbered FM stations. The controls were surprisingly counterintuitive, and the crank charge was essentially useless.
The Kaito KA-500 has a great reading light that's similar to the RunningSnail's, and the manual tuning is split into separate bands for AM/FM and NOAA, so you can have two different presets, depending on your needs. But it's clumsily designed, with too many button/switch options to keep track of, and too many crevices on the radio and solar panel for water to seep under. Plus, the battery life was terrible, even on the "energy-saving" standby mode. After three minutes of hand-cranking, it lasted only 30 minutes on standby, even though it was under direct sunlight the whole time.
Radios over £150 are top-of-the-range models with amazing state-of-the-art features. For this price you can expect WiFi connectivity, DAB+, crisp sound quality and quality engineering. You can also buy radios like the Pure Evoke C-Fand the Roberts Blutune100 (pictured below), that function as a DAB radio, wireless speakers, and CD player.
As weather radio coverage and awareness has expanded over the years, enterprising companies have produced various receivers designed specifically to provide weather radio information to everyone from the simply curious to those who are in critical need of emergency weather information; such as those facing an imminent hurricane or tornado strike. These receivers range from the very simple to the fairly elaborate and below we're going to review what we believe to be the best weather station radios on the market today.
SAME: The SAME protocol is designed and used to encode NOAA's weather radio alerts and give listeners in a specific area unambiguous warnings of a weather-related threat.
Channels: The more weather channels the weather radio device can pick up, the better. In addition, many weather radios provide the option to listen to standard AM/FM radio.
Alerts: This automatic feature allows your device to go off whenever a weather alert has been issued for your area. Without this feature a weather radio in a high risk area isn't worth much.
Notifications: In many cases you need to know more than the fact that there is adverse weather on the way. You need to know about evacuation orders and if there are road or other closures.
Antenna: If you live in a high risk area you'll want to be sure your weather radio either has a decent antenna or contains a port where you can plug one in.
Build quality: If you plan on using your weather radio outdoors then you'll want to be sure your weather radio is built to survive whatever Mother Nature may throw at it.
Most major retailers sell different kinds of weather radios that are equipped with different abilities and features. You have to be careful which kind you purchase—there are still a good number of radios out there that only offer weather band, letting you listen to the feed, but not receive individual alerts for your county.
The biggest complaint people have about weather radios is that they go off for "every little thing," so they disable them or return them to the store. If it's that much of an issue, spring the extra few bucks and get one of the higher-end devices. Your safety is well worth the money.
Tornado Sirens
As I found out a couple of months ago, many of our dear readers angrily swear by these sirens because they saved their second-cousin's grandma's ex-husband's niece back in the great outbreak of 19whatever. Fine. Just recognize that they're not designed for you to hear them in your living room, and they're even less effective if you're asleep or there's something that prevents the audio from reaching you (wind blowing the wrong way, television or music drowning out the sound, a loud thunderstorm, the sound of debris raining down on your house).
If you're hellbent on relying on tornado sirens, at least buy a weather radio as a backup.
Let's not forget our friends up north. Weather radios that work here in the United States will also work in Canada thanks to cooperation between the National Weather Service and Environment Canada. The latter has assigned SAME codes to counties across the country—and tuned their weather radio signals to the same seven frequencies we use here in the U.S.—allowing Canadians to purchase these devices and use them for severe weather just as we do.
Get one!
A good camping radio can ensure an enjoyable and safe camping experience.
Buying the best camping radio is very subjective to one's needs. The family camper's needs are vastly different than that of a serious survivalist who needs a hardcore emergency radio and there are makes and models to serve every camper's needs. There are some factors that every camper must consider before they purchase the best radio for their needs.
Power requirements are probably the most important factor for any camping or emergency radio.
It obviously goes without saying that a camping radio must be able to run on batteries and must be conservative on power usage. Most modern radio's sip power if it's not loaded with a host of functions and should really be lasting a weekend on battery power alone (think around 25-30 hours).
However if you are buying a radio for the outdoors, you will be silly not to look for a unit with additional power source capabilities.
AC-adapter/Car charger: There are very few camping radios that do not have a built in AC charger port. Although your campsite might not have power, a car charger or solar panel will keep the music or weather report alive.
Solar power: Camping and emergency radios are very efficient on power and if you have a built-in solar panel your radio will be charged for continuous use. We have found that having a radio with a built-in solar panel is one of our musts in buying a unit. Not having to consider battery supplies or conservative usage of the radio is a major factor for us.
Crank/Dynamo radios: It's very common to find a crank on any emergency radio. This is obviously a very handy feature and is great for redundancy. Keep in mind however that it takes a fair bit of cranking for the dynamo to charge the battery for usage. Although the models differ greatly on this, it's fair to say that minutes of cranking will provide 4-minutes of usage on low volume.
As you can imagine cranking the night away to listen to music is not ever going to work and will only be for emergency situations.
Optional Features
Once all the basics are covered you can pick some additional features if you want. Remember, the more features, the more power it will use, so only pick the features you think you are going to use. A common add-on is a built in flashlight, but extra functions can be from programmable stations to 2-way radio capability.
This budget radio comes with all the necessary functions at a low cost.It's a compact radio that can run on batteries, AC power, solar power or charge via the crank handle. min of cranking will deliver min of play time, 30min of flashlight or 5min of talk time for your cell phone. It's got a build-in micro-USB cellphone charger, a bright LED flashlight and is NOAA weather radio enabled.
Eton FRX 3
Eton is a high-end manufacturer of solar and emergency radios and it won't be the only time you see their name on the list.
The Eton FRX ticks all the boxes for a great camping radio. It's able to accept all power sources ( batteries, AC,crank and solar). Tests have shown that minutes of cranking can deliver up to 1minutes of operation. It's NOAA/S.A.M.E. enabled and have a built-in bright LED light.
To top it off as a great survival radio it has a morse location beacon and a high-pitch alert for others to find you. This radio is also sold under a Red Cross label, whereby donations go to them.
Eton Raptor
This is the multi-tool of camping radios.This palm-sized unit comes with a host of features.It's rubberised outer shell makes it splash proof and it is completely solar powered for up to 30 hours of usage. It's got a built in flashlight with an altimeter, a barometer and even a bottle opener. With an installed Carabiner clip you can attach it to outside of your pack to continuously charge it. It also has a built-in USB port to charge other devices. The Eton Scorpion is the slightly less tricked out radio, however it does have a crank handle for emergency power.
The most important and basic feature of a weather radio is its capability to tune in to weather bands. Thankfully, all three radios are emergency-ready in this respect.
As a bonus, they can provide AM and FM entertainment as well for everyday use.
Of the three weather radios, only C. Crane Pocket Weather Radio is not built with a hand-cranking mechanism, which is very useful especially during power outages. If you can store some batteries though, it will provide trusty weather information and help pull you through a tough time.
Depending on what you are looking for, either Kozo or C. Crane wins in this department. As an emergency weather radio, Kozo has the most useful add-ons.
Aside from the radio reception, it is engineered with a power bank, a flashlight, a distress red light, and a siren; whereas, ELECLOVER only has a 60-lumen flashlight and a 1000mAh power bank.
Compared to C. Crane, which is basically used as a weather radio, the other two will do more than just provide you access to weather reports.
C. Crane's Pocket Weather Radio is almost the triple price of the either ELECLOVER Portable Dynamo Weather Radio or Kozo Emergency Weather Radio. Being more of a transistor radio than an emergency radio in terms of its added features, you might need to seriously evaluate why you're getting C. Crane's.

'Unique' Brynglas tunnels celebrate 50th birthday
By Peter Shuttleworth
BBC Wales News
- Published
They are one of Wales' most notable landmarks and on Friday the Brynglas tunnels are celebrating their 50th birthday.
While they are as well known as Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff's Principality Stadium, the M4 tunnels at Newport are renowned for all the wrong reasons.
But the notorious traffic bottleneck, once described by a former prime minister as a "foot on the windpipe of the Welsh economy", is also a feat of engineering and a motorway milestone in the UK.
The 360m (1,180ft) twin bore, two lane holes are significant because they were the first tunnels to be built on the British motorway network.
"The tunnels are not only of historical importance to Wales, they opened up social opportunities that we struggle to comprehend today," said Brian Hawker, assistant engineer on the Brynglas tunnels.
"When you're stuck in a traffic jam, you don't tend to appreciate the historic significance of the tunnel you are sitting in. It is an engineering marvel and helped the economic and social well-being of south Wales overnight."
The £3m tunnels project - led by engineer Sir Owen Williams, chief engineer on the old Wembley Stadium, the Spaghetti Junction, and the Newport bypass - relieved the "crippling congestion" in a stroke when it opened on 5 May 1967.
"Its success has ultimately led to its biggest criticism," said Mr Hawker.
"Built to accommodate 30,000 vehicles a day, it is nearing breaking point and traffic data says its the UK's most-congested stretch of motorway away from the M25.
"The opening of the Brynglas tunnels bypass around Newport and the Severn Bridge opened up the area, as getting around Newport and going to England was previously like going on safari," added Mr Hawker, the Welsh Office's former head of roads and major projects.
Brynglas tunnels facts
- First tunnels on the UK motorway network
- It is the only tunnel on the M4
- The tunnels are between junction 25 and junction 26 on the M4
- There is a 50mph speed limit on the westbound tunnel following a lorry fire in the tunnel in 2001
He added: "Now it took 30 minutes and gave relief to Newport and gave quick access to schools, work and hospitals.
"The tunnels and the ease of movement around south Wales raised people's expectations, but the tunnels have outgrown their capacity as demand for road travel rose beyond all recognition."
The Welsh Government have acknowledged the current M4 at Newport is "not fit for purpose" and said it wants to build a £1bn M4 relief road to ease congestion.
A six-lane motorway to the south of Newport was first proposed as far back as 1991 and only now is a public inquiry being held into building a 15-mile (24km) relief road.
The benefit of hindsight shows today's problems could have been averted way back in the early 1960s.
One plan was to make a cut in the hill, but the Monmouthshire railway company line - between Newport and Pontypool on the east side of Crindau Ridge - meant the tunnel was the only option at the time.
Mr Hawker said: "The shame is Dr Beeching's cuts closed that line in 1963, half way through construction.
"With a little planning, some of the subsequent traffic problems could have been averted as we would have built the road through the hill."
The initial M4 route - from the Severn Bridge to Tredegar Park in Newport, now junction 28 - was strategically located through the middle of Newport to generate traffic numbers to justify its existence to government.
Then, Newport was unique as, despite being a relatively small town, it had five motorway junctions to attract local traffic to use the M4 as a bypass and not a long-haul route, the intention of a motorway.
The line of the Newport bypass was dictated by the need to open the south Wales valleys, towns like Pontypool, Newbridge, Risca and the new town of Cwmbran, according to Mr Hawker.
Loss of leeks
"These were important strategic areas of economic resurgence following the demise of heavy industry. The development of a new, vibrant valleys economy was absolutely dependant on good road access," he said.
But the UK-first was not without its challenges and it cost one local his prized vegetables.
"I remember a representation to our site office from a house owner on the hill, who said he was concerned because he had just lost his prized leeks," said Mr Hawker.
"They were due to be shown at a horticultural show the following week," he said.
"It turned out that there was diagonal movement in the rock and that couldn't be controlled. Engineers found his house was cracked from top to bottom and had to be demolished.
"As a result of that movement, a dozen families had to be moved from their homes, put into a hotel while the necessary engineering work was carried out."

Bio-Resonance uses a sophisticated piece of electronic equipment called a Bio-resonance System to provide a special type of energy medicine. Its purpose is to re-balance you holistically, using energetic resonances to help dissolve underlying energetic imbalances that can result in poor health at many levels.
It is a generally accepted theory in Quantum Physics, that everything in the universe is in vibration and has a frequency. Bio-resonance equipment first appeared during the 1970's and there are many different makes, each with its own particular development path.
The purpose of bio-resonance is to find imbalances and then re-balance them. The equipment identifies the various frequencies that are affected then triggers restoration of healthy oscillation for the recipient. The skill of the practitioner is in knowing all the subtleties of the equipment to tune each session and get the best results for the recipient.

Look for a practitioner who has experience in your particular requirement. Many combine bio-resonance with other therapeutic skills that might be of interest to you as well. Speak to him/her to get a feel for whether you can work together successfully.
Checking the practitioner's qualifications
The various bio-resonance system manufacturers usually run training courses and certify practitioners in-house. In this case, there will be a list of certified practitioners published on their website. It is also possible to check that all the therapies you are interested in are included on his/her practitioner's insurance certificate by asking for a copy of it.
How long a typical session lasts and what one can expect during a session.
Your practitioner will discuss the reason for your visit with you and will set up the equipment appropriately to support you.
Resonances from the session may be provided in some form for you to take away (drops/spray/pills/creams or a device that you can wear). This will continue the effect of the session on afterwards.
Reports are produced by some equipment (not as a medical diagnosis though).
The practitioner will guide you and identify any required next steps.
Clinic visits - You will be fully clothed, seated or lying down, connected to the bio-resonance equipment in some way (for example via wrist and/or ankle bands or holding onto probes). A clinic session typically takes from half an hour to two hours.
Remote sessions - Some of the more advanced systems are able to perform remote sessions. In this case, the bio-resonance equipment will use a bio-sample of some sort from you (e.g. hair sample) and you will speak to the practitioner on the phone/Skype beforehand. Remote sessions are excellent if you don't have the time, or live too far away from the practitioner, to visit. It also allows longer sessions to be run on your behalf than would be possible in clinic.
How many sessions are typically needed?
This does vary according to your requirements. Regular sessions are preferable for issues that have been around for a long time whereas occasional on-off sessions are adequate for a quick boost or minor issues.
What does bio-resonance therapy work on?
The more advanced bio-resonance systems are extremely expensive pieces of equipment that use several hundred thousand resonances to delve into a very broad range of possible imbalances:

Return ticket to Corinth and accommodation are covered.
By invitation only!
CAPres is the artist-in-residence programme of Corinth Art Platform. CAPres supports artistic research centred on the ethics of hospitality and social design. The aim is to reflect collectively on the role of the artist as a temporary resident. What is the deeper meaning of Artist-in-Residence programmes around the world? Are the participants really just residents, or rather guests, intruders, strangers, mere provocateurs, or something else entirely?
There are no formal rules or expectations for participating artists, except that they have to be 'present' in the public space of the city in their own creative manner. Current political debates and social conditions, clichés, stereotypes and more, contribute to an enriching exchange between the residents and the hosts.
CAPres is not for those who feel comfortable using a pseudo-artistic language of feigned engagement, but for those who are ready to break away from well-established institutional codes of art production. CAPres is ready to work with artists and curators who dare to question their social skills and to push the boundaries of their artistic practice.

The US online privacy activist group the Electronic Privacy Information Centre (EPIC) has submitted a complaint to the FTC, demanding the watchdog investigate Facebook's misuse of user data.
"The company purposefully messed with people's minds," EPIC says in its complaint.
"Facebook conducted the psychological experiment with researchers at Cornell University and the University of California, San Francisco, who failed to follow standard ethical protocols for human subject research."
The study was carried out during one week in 2012, with the findings published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences.
It involved hiding a "small percentage" of emotional words from peoples' news feeds, without their knowledge, to test the effect on statuses or "likes" they then posted or reacted to.
"Facebook's conduct is both a deceptive trade practice under Section 5 of the FTC Act and a violation of the Commission's 2012 Consent Order," EPIC claims.
You can read the full EPIC complaint here: http://epic.org/privacy/ftc/facebook/Facebook-Study-Complaint.pdf
The FTC Act prohibits "unfair and deceptive" acts and practices, which EPIC alleges Facebook has committed within the Cornell study.
Facebook is also currently under a 20 year consent decree from the FTC that requires Facebook to protect user privacy, first imposed in July 2012, after an FTC investigation found the social network to be in violation of the FTC Act in the US.
The settlement caused Facebook to increase its privacy and security of information measures, as well as preventing the social network from misrepresenting the extent to which user data is held as private.
Facebook has so far declined to comment.
Of course, the privacy concerns are directly related to the social network's widespread popularity among internet users covering a broad demographic.
But latest figures from Australia's media watchdog suggest Facebook's popularity is seriously waning among early teens almost certainly suggesting it will face a sharp generational decline in users.
Young Australians aged between 14 and 17 are logging off Facebook for other online forums such as microblogging site Tumblr, picture sharing site Instagram and wikis.
The proportion of teenagers using Facebook decreased from 70 per cent in 2012 to 58 per cent in 2013, the Australian Communications and Media Authority said.
ACMA attributed the figures to Nielsen Online Ratings data which shows the demographic accounts for just five per cent of Facebook's users in Australia.
The figure is even lower for other social media, including former market leader MySpace (four per cent) and Twitter (three per cent).
The number of teenagers using the internet via mobile phones has more than tripled in the four years to December last year.The research showed 89 per cent of teens have a mobile phone, with 69 per cent of those owning a smartphone.
Meanwhile, in a reminder of how some parts of the world struggle to enjoy some of the internet liberties Australians take for granted, the Afghan government considered and rejected a proposal to ban Facebook during an ongoing deadlock over the presidential election.
The dispute between candidates Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah over alleged fraud in the June 14 election has moved online with caustic exchanges between rival political supporters that have threatened to spill into violence.
"The national security council discussed banning of Facebook in their meeting," Fayeq Wahedi, deputy presidential spokesman, said.
"There are people on Facebook who spread hatred and cause damage to national unity, but after talks the council decided not to ban Facebook."

We've had a lot of people ask about our organizational structure. For those of you wondering, here is how the structure of our organization works:
We are a part of Belay Enterprises. In the summer of 2011, we were brought on by Belay in an incubation period. This means we are a part of their organization. We use their 501(c)3 status. We are responsible to Belay's board. But it is not a permanent situation. We have a goal of spinning off and having our own board and our own non-profit status. We will be a stand alone organization. Belay will then be able to pour the resources they were using on us to engage in another work. Belay is a wonderful ministry that has been around since 1995 and their stated mission is to"partner with area churches to develop businesses to employ and job-train individuals rebuilding lives from addiction, homelessness, prison, and/or poverty, to strengthen families and neighborhoods." which fits so well with our stated mission of "reclaiming and sustaining homeless and street connected youth through supportive and meaningful employment."
We are not legally connected to Dry Bones Denver, but we are working very closely with them. Mark is currently working out of their office and has been reconnecting to Street Kid culture through Dry Bones events. The partnership is not legally connected, but connected in friendship and a desire to serve the same demographic in the city of Denver. Madison and Mark were both interns for Dry Bones Denver, and these internships are what originally positioned Madison and Mark to engage in this work. This concept is the brainchild of Dry Bones Denver, and it has been a long time in the making. It is finally coming to fruition.
Working with Belay and Dry Bones has provided more connections and opportunities for Purple Door Coffee than if we were going at it alone. We are so excited to work in the Kingdom together.
Madison and Mark are the two full-time employees of Purple Door Coffee. We work together very closely and have complimenting gifts in the Kingdom. God's been working on this team for a long time–whether we realized it or not.
Please contact us with other questions about who we are and what we're about!

The week's 27 best concerts: Oct. 25-31
Rounding up the best shows this week in the Twin Cities.
Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Cedar Cultural Center, Wednesday 10.25
Californian Dave Alvin and Texan Jimmie Dale Gilmore epitomized rootsy Americana long before that term was popular. These two well-seasoned singer-songwriters are longtime friends, but they'd never before played together, so they've hit the road with acoustic guitars to swap songs, stories, and the music that inspired them. Around 1980 Alvin, wielding a stinging guitar, founded the L.A. punkabilly group the Blasters with his brother Phil, and in the years since they disbanded his storytelling skills have fueled his many solo albums. Gilmore emerged from the Texas Panhandle in the early '70s with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock as the Flatlanders, who were totally ignored in their day. By the time their pioneering work was rediscovered decades later, Gilmore had already established a solo career with his fine, wiry voice, becoming a mix of country philosopher, honky-tonker, and cosmic cowboy. 8 p.m. $30-$37. 416 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-338-2674. —Rick Mason

Keyshia Cole
Orpheum Theatre, Friday 10.27
R&B changes every year, but for more than a decade Keyshia Cole has remained a mainstay of the genre. The Oakland native, now 36, broke through in 2005 with "Love" and its unforgettable, crying chorus; by the time of her Missy Elliott- and Lil' Kim-assisted smash "Let It Go" in 2007, KC had already proved herself worthy of singing alongside those more established collaborators. No matter how many co-writers or producers Cole surrounds herself with, her songs feel powerfully autobiographical, conveying love's ecstasies and pains, as well as everything in between. Though Cole has also been a staple of reality TV over the years (she currently stars in Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood), her new contract with Epic Records has her poised for a musical resurgence. Her first album since 2014, the new 11:11 Reset, features her most successful single in years, "You," with East Coast hip-hop flavors courtesy of French Montana and Remy Ma. Tank opens. 8 p.m. $39-$79. 910 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis; 612-455-9500. —Michael Madden

Arcade Fire
Xcel Energy Center, Sunday 10.29
Since 2004, Arcade Fire have consistently pulled off displays of indie-rock grandeur with (mostly) excellent results. The Montreal band's profusely acclaimed debut, Funeral, launched them to indie fame almost overnight, with their passionate, anthemic, and baroque sound soon finding a fan in David Bowie. Over the next decade, the band extended their winning streak, releasing an era-defining album once every three years. There was 2007's densely orchestral Neon Bible, '10's Grammy-winning slow-burner The Suburbs, and '14's more groove-driven Reflektor, co-produced by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy. Butler, wife Regine Chassagne, and the rest of the band returned earlier this year with their major-label debut, Everything Now. The first Arcade Fire album to be widely received as a disappointment (partly due to ill-advised stylistic experiments, like the awkward faux-reggae of "Chemistry"), it's better than you may have heard. The band are at their sweeping best on the title track and their most danceable on "Creature Comfort." The Breeders open. 7:30 p.m. $23.50-$272.50. 199 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul; 651-265-4800. —Michael Madden
- HABIB KOITE AND BAMADA Oct. 29, 7:30 p.m. at The Cedar Cultural Center
- LOSTBOYCROW WITH PRELOW Oct. 29, 7:00 p.m. at 7th St. Entry
- DISCO TOWN HALL: PRESENTED BY WILL BUTLER OF ARCADE FIRE Oct. 29, 10:30 p.m. at Turf Club
Gogol Bordello
First Avenue, Monday 10.30
"Gypsy punk" is the tag the irrepressible Eugene Hütz long ago applied to the multicultural circus and sonic blitzkrieg of his band, Gogol Bordello. But that term is inadequate, because the nonet tosses so many unlikely ingredients into its mix—metal, mariachi, reggae hoedown on the steppes?—it'd take the United Nations to sort it out. The results can be edifying, electrifying, or enervating, and also broadly comedic when the band shifts into Marx Brothers-like anarchy, complete with Hütz's blustery, heavily accented, existential pronouncements—or "bonanzatronic freakohol," as Hütz spews in "Did It All," the frenetic opener on GB's latest, Seekers and Finders. He's in a philosophic mood, musing on quests for meaning, living in the moment, and even taking on Darwin and Descartes in "Saboteur Blues," the most blistering, fully realized cut. Lucky Chops, a raucous, pop/punk/jazz-infused NYC brass quintet, open. 18+. 7 p.m. $35. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8388. —Rick Mason
- TROKER Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m. at The Cedar Cultural Center
- THE PACK A.D. Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m. at 7th St. Entry
- LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM AND CHRISTINE MCVIE Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m. at Northrop
King Krule
Fine Line Music Cafe, Tuesday 10.31
Archy Marshall, the 23-year-old London native best known as King Krule, first drew blogosphere love in 2010 with his U.F.O.W.A.V.E. EP. In the seven years since, he's been popular (famous fans include Beyoncé and Earl Sweatshirt) and enigmatic in equal measure, scattering music across the internet under a slew of monikers. His music's one constant is his strange croon, somewhat suggesting a drunken Joe Strummer. Aside from that, Marshall has been restlessly experimental, toying with indie rock, hip-hop, Burial-style dubstep, and more. As King Krule, he returned earlier this month with his first album since 2015's especially rap-influenced A New Place 2 Drown. The new record, The Ooz, is a gloomy, hour-long meditation on Marshall's experiences with depression and a recent breakup. And hey, as a Halloween-night concert option, it helps that there's often a spookiness to The Ooz and the rest of Marshall's catalog, inspired by his undying love of horror flicks. The Stand4rd member Psymun opens. 18+. 8 p.m. $20-$35. 318 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8100. —Michael Madden
Take Me to the River
Dakota, Tuesday 10.31 & Wednesday 11.1
Featuring collaborations between genuine icons and younger artists, this old-style revue highlights both the potent history of Memphis music and the vitality of the city's contemporary scene. The tour was inspired by the 2014 award-winning film Take Me to the River, which documented a series of extraordinary studio sessions, and its lineup includes three certified legends. William Bell, a stalwart of Stax Records' heyday, hit it big with "You Don't Miss Your Water" and "Everybody Loves a Winner," and he wrote the blues standard "Born Under a Bad Sign." Chitlin' circuit barnburner Bobby Rush has been playing a raucous mix of blues, funk, and soul for half a century. And harmonica ace Charlie Musselwhite has worked with virtually every major blues artist, as well as put out a string of notable solo albums. The hip-hop contingent includes Memphis rappers Frayser Boy and Al Kapone. Backing everyone will be the Boo Mitchell-directed Hi Rhythm Section, the house band at Royal Studios, home of the classic Hi soul label, both founded by Mitchell's late father, Willie. 7 p.m. $60-$92. 1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis; 612-332-5299. —Rick Mason
- ADAM LEVY'S JOGA BOLA HALLOWEEN BASH Oct. 31, 8:00 p.m. at Aster Cafe

The game universe has been explored through in-game obser- vations, interviews with players, and online surveys. We have studied the game design as provided by Blizzard Entertainment, the game developer, as well as the player-created user interfaces, mods, and add-ons, which are small pieces of code that alter the presentation of the game to the player. The articles collected in this book are all based on this first-hand experience of being a resident of Azeroth as well as on data gathered and interpreted by the authors themselves.
Introduction 3 We have not only played the orc professor LFG, but have also performed research in Azeroth. This group of contributors was brought together by a shared scholarly fascination with World of Warcraft, and we have various re- search backgrounds from a wide variety of humanities- and media-related dis- ciplines.
Espen Aarseth is one of the founders of the field of game studies, and those familiar with the field will recognize the names of several other games scholars contributing here. Other contributors have solid groundings in the study of digital culture, both as researchers and educators, while others have backgrounds in disciplines that have only recently become relevant to the study of games.
In many ways, our diverse backgrounds are typical of games researchers today. The academic study of computer games is still a very young field. Al- though the first computer games were developed in the s and became readily available in arcade halls in the s, the academic study of computer games has developed into a field of its own largely in the last seven or eight years, as evidenced by new journals, conferences, research networks, dedicated university courses and degrees, and a steady increase in research literature and textbooks.
This book is a contribution to the new research literature of game studies, presenting thirteen in-depth analyses of World of Warcraft from different perspectives and employing analytical tools and theoretical traditions from various academic disciplines. This collection includes analyses of World of Warcraft using theories and methodologies from, among others, textual analysis, gender studies, history, narratology, postcolonialism, and ethnogra- phy. Each contribution tells a different story about World of Warcraft, and each offers a different perspective. This is one of the first books to provide multiple perspectives on a single game.
Such casebooks, or readers, of critical approaches to canonical works have been common in media studies and liter- ary studies for decades, and as games studies matures, we are also beginning to see anthologies devoted to single games. World of Warcraft is an enormous game, both in terms of hours spent playing it and in terms of the number of players and the ways in which it can be played. Multiple approaches to the game may be required to grasp its multiplicity.
A digital culture is, like every culture, constructed according to norms, rules, and traditions. We also believe that the articles in this book will interest gamers and residents of Azeroth or other syn- thetic worlds.
Digital Culture, Play, and Identity: A World of Warcraft Reader - Google книги
And we hope that anxious parents or worried journalists also will find, if not redemption, then at least a source of knowledge that can help them understand the MMOG phenomenon which is an increasingly im- portant form of digital culture. The game is played online on servers run by Blizzard Entertainment.
Hundreds of servers run independent copies of the game, each server allowing several hundred players to be online at the same time. Servers are designated for different geographical regions and run differ- ent languages. Players buy a copy of the game on CD and pay an additional monthly fee for access.
The first MUDs appeared in the early s, and enjoyed a certain pop- ularity throughout the s and s. MMOGs have likewise received much attention from mainstream media.
World of Warcraft Reader
While most non- gamers may not know exactly what a MMOG is, World of Warcraft has received interest from the press to such an extent that almost everybody today has heard of it. Thus, many different kinds of player types see Bartle can find activities that interest them in World of Warcraft.
An important feature of these genres is the con- struction of a coherent background story for the players. Additionally, the gameworld history is outlined in detail both in the manual included in the game box and on the official Web site. Azeroth, the planet on which World of Warcraft takes place, has a long his- tory of wars and conflicts between different races in earlier times. The conflict lines were eventually consolidated in the formation of two opposing factions: the Alliance and the Horde.
The playable races in the game such as humans, orcs, trolls, or night elves are all assigned to one of these two factions. Al- though the background story claims that there is a truce between the Alliance and the Horde, the game itself encourages players to actively fight players from the opposing faction, as Esther MacCallum-Stewart discusses in chapter 2. In January the expansion pack The Burning Crusade was launched by Blizzard, and introduced new playable races, new quests and dungeons, and even a new planet—the Outland, where the Alliance and the Horde join forces to fight the ultimate enemy, the Burning Legion.
Players from the two factions cannot communicate with each other except from a limited set of predefined emotes , and each faction has designated areas where opponents cannot enter without being attacked by the local guards. Normal servers guarantee that players will not be attacked by opponents unless consenting to fight, while players on Player vs. Player PvP servers will be flagged as legal targets for the opposing faction when moving into contested or hostile territory.
A third type of server is also avail- able, the Role-Playing RP server which can be either normal or PvP , where players are encouraged to engage in their characters through role-playing. Player characters can learn professions that give them the ability to make objects or perform services, which can then be sold to other players, vendors, or at the in-game auction house.
Gaining experience points by killing mobs mobile objects, see glos- sary and solving quests are the most important activities for leveling up, thus making your character more and more powerful. However, players can engage in many different activities, from peaceful role-playing sessions to battlegrounds and in-game PvP competitions between the Alliance and the Horde.
Even though the world can be explored alone, many quests and areas of the gameworld require that groups of players cooperate.

Players and Cultures World of Warcraft has received a lot of attention from the press, making it an important topic in the everyday life of a far broader group than its 8. Although the game is often met with skepticism, it has also been described as giving important training that is useful in business life, as Scott Rettberg discusses in chapter 1. MMOGs represent an important element of a networked society and of digital culture, and as the contributors to this book argue, the gameworld created in World of Warcraft challenges many of our traditional notions of game, play, and society.
Even though World of Warcraft hit the player market with unprecedented force and broke records for number of copies sold shortly after its release, it has yet to hit the academic world with the same force. Although the scholarly journal Games and Culture dedicated a special issue to essays about the game April , other work on World of Warcraft has until now been scattered and difficult to find. Thus our book represents one of the first deep dives into World of Warcraft, seen from a number of different academic perspectives and disciplines by authors from several European countries, as well as from the U.
We hope this anthology will be a first step toward larger cross-cultural analyses of this gameworld, which at present exists in a number of very diverse cultural contexts. This interest in studying games as games has led researchers to build on and examine earlier definitions to hone their understanding of games Huizinga , Caillois , Juul , Salen and Zimmerman Several aspects of common definitions are particularly interesting when con- sidering what kind of a game World of Warcraft is.
Importantly, players are aware of the boundary of the magic circle, and know when they enter it Buckingham Huizinga also claims that play provides no real-life ma- terial interest or profit for the player In a game like World of Warcraft, the magic circle is less clear than in a game of hopscotch or a single player computer game. This book examines the complexity of World of Warcraft from a variety of perspectives, exploring the cultural and social implications of the proliferation of ever more complex digital gameworlds.
Jill Walker Rettberg
The contributors have immersed themselves in the World of Warcraft universe, spending hundreds of hours as players leading guilds and raids, exploring moneymaking possibilities in the in-game auction house, playing different factions, races, and classes , conducting interviews, and studying the game design--as created by Blizzard Entertainment, the game's developer, and as modified by player-created user interfaces.
The analyses they offer are based on both the firsthand experience of being a resident of Azeroth and the data they have gathered and interpreted. The contributors examine the ways that gameworlds reflect the real world--exploring such topics as World of Warcraft as a "capitalist fairytale" and the game's construction of gender; the cohesiveness of the gameworld in terms of geography, mythology, narrative, and the treatment of death as a temporary state; aspects of play, including "deviant strategies" perhaps not in line with the intentions of the designers; and character--both players' identification with their characters and the game's culture of naming characters.
The varied perspectives of the contributors--who come from such fields as game studies, textual analysis, gender studies, and postcolonial studies--reflect the breadth and vitality of current interest in MMOGs.

This one has historic roots as a pilgrim's path from Winchester, in Hampshire, to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Cantebury, in Kent. The 153-mile journey is a twelve-day affair that will require planning, overnight stays and, or camping, and provide beautiful rolling meadows, farmers fields, woodlands and a section of the White Cliffs of Dover. The route is fairly easy terrain-wise but does have some steeper sections particularly the slope of the North Downs.
One for the real ale lovers, this route is supported by #AlesOfTheTrail. For every beer you drink that is affiliated with the scheme, a portion of its cost is donated to the National Trust. The extra funding is then put toward preserving and renovating the trail. Drink beer, help nature. You can download the beer map at: https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/north-downs-way/ales-trail
This hiking classic is a Lakeland ridge walk in the heart of the Lake District. There are several routes for varying levels of experience, for the beginner the grassy ridge of Scales Fell is recommended – requiring minimum scrambling and crossing the mossy Mungriddale Common and descending over the Bannerdale Crags into the beautiful Glenderamckin river valley. For a real challenge and the more experienced hikers, ascend via Hall's Fell.
This is not recommended in bad weather or low visibility (fog) because of the tricky navigation along the way. People have fallen and died here, so really don't tackle this until ready and even then with guidance and meticulous planning. Despite the risk, it has been described as the finest route to any mountain top in the district. One onto the ridge you will scramble along its knife edge ridge – again, something that should be built up to. This high-level route will provide adrenaline and adventure aplenty.
This is another long-distance hike, with 100 miles of incredible sloping greenery, hedgerow and fields with views reaching far across the Cotswold ridge. You will also find yourself trailing through idyllic villages full of sleepy ale houses and delicious hot meals, perfect after a long walk. If you are going to tackle the full 100 miles, then its advisable to book B&Bs in advance, or plan your camping stop offs. You can also select shorter portions of the Way for weekend or day trips – there is always lots going on along the route, from walking festivals to year-round museums and lovely farmer's markets. Get planning today.
This Welsh wonderland will treat you to moorland, sweeping meadows, woodland and forests in the mid-Welsh region. Another heavy hitter, the 135 mile trek starts off at Knighton and ends at Welshpool, though of course, you can split up smaller hikes across the route. One of our favourites include Llandgadfan to Llandwddyn (yeah, try and say that). This shorter hike will take you through a pristine forest walk, past the majestic Lake Vyrnwy and through to its Dam. Here, you'll find an array of lovely ale and grub spots!
Keeping in line with our majority long-routers, this absolutely magnificent hike through Scotland is a 96-mile challenge beginning in Milngavie north of Glasgow and ending at Fort William. The route is also the home to the West Highland Way Race, an ultramarathon which runs the whole stretch! Whether you are hiking or running (good luck), you will be treated to the sheer beauty of the Scottish Highlands. You will pass the awe-inspiring tranquillity of Loch Lomond, the vast Rannoch Moor and then through sloping hills to Loch Leven before reaching Fort William through Glen Nevis. A truly glorious introduction to hiking Scotland.

Modern Warfare makes meaningful tech upgrades to the Call of Duty franchise, making it look and sound better than ever while still maintaining its crisp, exciting gameplay.
Control feels like Remedy firing on all cylinders, resulting in a smart and sensational action-adventure.
Gears 5 plays around with the formula a bit, but it's still at its best when it's just being a solid-ass Gears of War game.
Just go play Crackdown 1 again.
Forza Horizon 4's connected world and seasonal weather help make what's otherwise a very familiar-feeling experience feel fresh one more time.
Far Cry 5's story is a real let-down, but the action still makes for a solid co-op experience.
There are some elements around the edges that haven't aged all that well, but Burnout Paradise is still a fantastic racing game.
Metal Gear Survive is both a bad survival game and a bad Metal Gear game.
This rollercoaster ride of a turn-based strategy game starts out almost impossibly strong, but by the end I mostly wished it'd been over three hours earlier.
Call of Duty's return to World War II looks great, but feels flat and uninspired from start to finish.

How To Be A Movie Snob
1. When describing your favorite types of movies, don't give a genre. Instead, give an existential quote about life relating to film. For example:
Friend: What kind of movies do you like?
You: "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." –Charlie Chaplin
2. Remember, the more popular the fandom, the more overrated it is. All the normies like their summer blockbusters and '80s teen movies, you like weird experimental Swedish films.
3. Haven't seen a movie? Smile, nod and say something intellectual, then leave before you're discovered to be a liar.
4. They are not "movies" they are "films". Give this look to those who say otherwise:
5. You must possess knowledge of at least ONE foreign film no one has heard about.
Here is a list to get you started.
6. Upon reference to said film, scoff and say "It's okay, not a lot of people watch GOOD movies."
7. Wear an essential wardrobe prop to let others know about your extensive knowledge of films. Example: big glasses, beret or dad hat with "director" written on it. Remember the goal: look like an old-timey director.
8.) Don't be a philistine, remember that it is called "visiting the cinema" not "going to the movies."
9. When you visit the cinema, you comment after every film trailer in a loud enough voice that people can hear your disapproval.
10. Your favorite movie list must include the following: two Academy Award winning films, one made by a famous director, one sci-fi film, one foreign film, one black and white film and at minimum one Meryl Streep film.
11. You call it the "The Academy Awards" not "The Oscars". When someone refers to it as "The Oscars" let out a slight chuckle.
12. You say you respect and love classic films even though you only made it through the first half of the four hours long "Gone With the Wind".
13. You only read books about cinematography, directing, actors and their drama and Hollywood in the 1950s.
14. When arriving at the cinema, you claim to know the best seats because you go so often.
15. You only have to watch one documentary, but tell people you've watched about four or five.
16. Know one useless fact about Hollywood before the 1940s. Personal favorite: "Oh, did you know it's technically called "Hollywoodland".
17. Don't forget that you are flawless and everyone knows less about films than you do, no matter who it is. If you are outsmarted, simply say, "I'm just so tired of all the films I watched yesterday."
