Working with Octal has been a remarkable experience as despite my initial hesitation of establishing an association with an entity sitting at a remote distance. My expectations reached to an exalted level when I got the highest quality product. The projected manager who dealt with my requirements is very professional, responsive and patient.

Marrow Jerry Cabodel is my real / legal name. A Filipino artist born from the small town of Tacloban City, Leyte, Philippines. I earned a degree in Advertising and Painting in Manila, Philippines with a thesis garnered an average score of 97%. Because of poverty, I was forced to work for my Mother and Sisters' necessity and Education until I found a greener pasture in the middle east to work in some Advertising and Graphic Companies from Senior Artist to a position as Associate Creative Director appointed by a certain British Senior / Veteran Creative Director Mr. Derek Robins from McCann Erickson, UK. I personally never engaged in any art exhibition because of my workload professionally. Painting was just my hobby and passion whenever I find time to relax. Wealth is not my goal to achieve on earth, to live lives of joy and fulfillment and help others to do the same.

Everest: The Mess at the Top of the World
Overcrowded with inexperienced climbers and polluted with waste, Mount Everest—one of the earth's natural wonders—is in danger. How to fix the world's highest peak.
An hour above Camp IV on the Southeast Ridge of Mount Everest, Panuru Sherpa and I passed the first body.
The dead climber was on his side as if napping in the snow, goose down blowing from holes in his insulated pants. Ten minutes later, we stepped around another body, her torso shrouded in a Canadian flag, an abandoned oxygen bottle holding down the flapping fabric.
Trudging nose to butt up the ropes that had been fixed to the steep slope, Panuru and I were wedged between strangers above us and below us. The day before, at Camp III, our team had been part of a small group. But when we woke up this morning, we were stunned to see an endless line of climbers passing near our tents.
Now, bumper-to-bumper at 26,000 feet, we were forced to move at exactly the same speed as everyone else, regardless of individual strength or climbing ability. In the swirling darkness before midnight, I gazed up at the string of lights from climbers' headlamps rising into the black sky. Above me were more than a hundred slow-moving climbers. In one rocky section, at least 20 people were attached to a tattered rope anchored by a single badly bent picket pounded into the ice. If the picket popped out, the rope would instantly snap from the weight of two dozen falling climbers, and they would all cartwheel down the face of the mountain to their deaths.
Panuru, the lead Sherpa of our team, and I unclipped from the lines, swerved out onto open ice, and began soloing—a safer option for experienced mountaineers. After twenty minutes, we encountered another corpse, sitting in the snow, frozen solid as stone.
Several hours later, before we reached the Hillary Step—a 40-foot wall of rock and the last obstacle before the summit—we passed yet another corpse. His stubbly face was gray, his mouth open as if moaning.
Later I would learn the nationalities and names of these four climbers: Chinese Ha Wenyi, 55; Nepali-Canadian Shriya Shah-Klorfine, 33; South Korean Song Won-bin, 44; and German Eberhard Schaaf, 61. All four had died just days before—between May 18 and 20, 2012, as had two people on the other side of Everest. Because it's dangerous and difficult to transport bodies down the mountain, most people who perish there remain where they fall, although some are eventually moved by ice and wind, covered with snow, or pulled to the side of the trail. Some have even been pushed into crevasses by other climbers in a kind of makeshift mountain burial.
April and May 2012 became the third-deadliest season on Everest. As I cramponed past the icy corpses, I thought of the shattering sorrow their families and friends must have felt when they heard the news. I, too, had lost friends to the mountains.
Next: "Exactly why these four individuals died wasn't clear…"
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

U.S. marketers this year will spend $2.3 billion on the tiny ads, eMarketer predicts.
This year, for the first time, the U.S. will spend more than any other country on mobile advertising, according to a new forecast from research firm eMarketer Inc. U.S. marketers in 2012 will spend $2.3 billion on the tiny ads that appear on mobile web sites, including paid search ads, and in mobile apps; this is an increase of 92% over $1.2 billion in 2011, eMarketer says.
Growth in the U.S. and other countries will help drive mobile ad spending worldwide to $6.4 billion in 2012, up 60% from $4.0 billion in 2011, eMarketer finds.
The top spender in 2011 was Japan, unleashing $1.4 billion on the mobile ad market, eMarketer says. Its spend will climb 21% to $1.7 billion in 2012. Mobile advertising is more mature in Japan, which means growth in percentage terms is far lower than in North American markets, eMarketer notes.
U.S. mobile ad spending will surpass $10.3 billion in 2016; global mobile ad spending will reach $23.6 billion the same year, eMarketer predicts.
"Mobile is an exciting, fast-growing category, but it's still a very small piece of the overall ad pie," eMarketer says. "Mobile advertising accounted for less than 1% of total ad spending worldwide last year—and it will be a long time before it challenges other mainstay global advertising channels like TV, print and Internet ads."
Following are eMarketer's estimates, in millions of dollars, of 2011 mobile ad spends, 2012 mobile ad spends, 2012 growth rates and 2016 mobile ad spends for various regions across the globe:
EMarketer forms its estimates for mobile advertising spending worldwide through an analysis of various elements related to the ad spending market, including macroeconomic conditions, historical trends of the advertising market, estimates from other research firms and consumer mobile usage trends.

She can make noise though maybe not in the traditional scream sense. This is indicated by the fact Hisao heard her actually laugh once during her storyline. Most likely she simply acts like most fully deaf from birth people do and makes no noise out of choice, because the alternative is worse in their mind (They can not hear what they sound like so the noise can come out very weird.

About the Owner
We live in a small village in Poynton Cheshire we have always loved Ambleside and the surrounding area and finally purchased Fellside that was old and was in desperate need of renovating. It is now fully renovated and is ideally situated within easy walking distance to all amenities yet still in a quiet and peaceful position.

Beautiful home, very clean and well equipped in an excellent location
We had a wonderful week near Ambleside, property was perfect and offered a great base to explore. Views from roof garden were lovely and we had a really comfortable stay and would highly recommend.
Very smart and well decorated throughout make this an ideal holiday base near Ambleside.
The cottage is very well equipped throughout. The accommodation is excellent with a well planned kitchen and ample eating area and a light and bright lounge. The bedrooms were well fitted, with very comfortable beds, and the ensuite bathrooms were clean and smart with good showers. The velux windows set high in the ceiling did mean that there was a lot of early morning light.
A lovely bright modern cottage & Good location
had a lovely relaxing time at the cottage warm & cosy with the fire , ensuite bedroom great and very comfortable huge bed . went on several walks and by car on one of the days to Elterwater lovely village walk and into Chesters restaurant which was also very good ...Would recommend Fellside very pleased with our accomodation
Fabulous property. Great location.
LOVED the appointments in this snug 2 bedroom attached place! Light, bright and modern. Within walking distance to Ambleside. Comfortable and clean. Away from the noise of the main road. A path to Loughrigg Fell just a short distance away. The rest of our party stayed next door where they allowed the dogs. Keith and Helen were very responsive and nice to deal with. Will definitely be back! Thank you!!!
Luxury cottage
Visited the Lake District in June for the first time. We stayed for a week at Fellside cottage which is situated approx 3/4 mile from Ambleside a lovely town with local shops and restaurants. Fellside is pure luxury with all modern and comfortable amenities. It is very spacious with the added bonus of en suite in each of the bedrooms. There is also a seperate toilet closer to the lounge which was very handy as the bedrooms are at the other end of the cottage.. I dont think I have ever slept in such a comfortable bed everything about it was luxurious.
The kitchen is well equiped as if in your own home with every modern appliances.
The lounge is very spacious and comfortable.
We met Keith and Helen on our 1st day who were very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely recommend Fellside cottage
Very modern and funished to a high spec, well positioned for walking into Ambleside
A lovely quiet location with great amenities, a very large comfortable bed in the main room
A fantastic base for cycling and walking, the drive although very steep was treated as a test after returning from a days cycling
Would recommend this cottage very highly

Eggplant Fries from our friend Sophia at Veggies Don't Bite
Makes sides for 4
· 1 eggplant
· a drizzle of your favorite cooking oil (or veggie broth if you are avoiding oil)
· 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
· ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
· 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
· 2 teaspoons maple syrup
· 1 cup almond meal
· 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
note: You can sub another flour for almond meal to make this nut free.
Preheat oven to 400. Wash and cut eggplant into thin fry like sticks. The thinner they are the crispier they will get.
Put eggplant pieces in a deep bowl and sprinkle with oil (if using), salt, pepper, paprika and maple syrup. Mix to coat.
Place almond meal and nutritional yeast (if using) in another bowl or dish and mix. In small handfuls, put eggplant pieces in bowl of almond meal and toss to coat well.
Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment and bake for 35-45 minutes, depending on thickness, or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite dip.

Reviews for Cristo Rey High School Sacramento
Cristo Rey high school Sacramento helped me to reach out to my community. They also became an important part of my life as I attended the school back in 2009. When I first went into the school and started my first class, I thought, 'Wow! the class size is so small and everyone seems so friendly!'. As I got involved with the school, I learned that I too can be a leader when I was in charge of my first event. I loved the experiences Cristo Rey high school gives to their students, and I as a student who is now Senior that will be graduating in 2013, appreciates how hard they work for us. Though Cristo Rey high school does not look as appealing as it seems, the inside of the school has a totally different vibe once you step onto the campus and get to know the teachers and students here at Cristo Rey high school Sacramento.

Having been involved in Sacramento Area Community based organizations since the late 1980s, I have seen few programs that have the direct impact on the life of a young person as the Corporate Work Study Program at Cristo Rey HS. I have had the privilege to have worked as a teacher at CRHS for the last 6 1/2 years and have witnessed time and time again that the training and experiences economically disadvantages teens receive during their years at Cristo Rey truly transform their present life and the hope of a better future by setting their feet on the path of college as well as giving them real-life work experience in the Corporate World.

Gary Dunn of SEGA Europe has gone on record to say that they aren't necessarily done making mature games for Wii at this time.
"The House of the Dead: Overkill was a profitable title for us. While it had a rather sharp tail at full price, they do bubble away at a lower price point for a long time.

"You've got to push boundaries and explore. I think while MadWorld commercially didn't sell what we expected, I wouldn't say it's game over for mature Wii titles from Sega.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 77 reviews
Staff is great. The owner does several things (serves coffee at breakfast and drives shuttle bus) and is always pleasant and very informative about things to do and places to eat etc. view from balcony is amazing. Rooftop terrace spacious and relaxing. We had our dinners there. It's a little far from Amalfi but free shuttle service (check schedule) takes you there in 10 minutes. If you don't mind being away from the hustle and bustle, this is a great place and it has free parking
Extremely nice hotel on the beautiful Amalfi Coast. A bit far from the city, cafes, supermarkets and quite high above the sea, but very atmospheric and charming.

Simmons reiterated an Overweight rating on EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG), and raised the price target to $109.00 (from $103.00), following the company's Acquisition of Yates.
Analyst Pearce Hammond commented, "EOG shares are up 6% since announcing the $2.5B Yates acquisition yesterday. We think this is a smart transaction for several reasons: 1) terrific valuation as EOG was able to increase their premium location count by 40% with just a 5% increase in their share count,;2) does not strain the balance sheet since it is primarily funded with equity; 3) high grades the company's Permian position; and 4) most importantly in our view, completes the pivot to the Permian and away from the Eagle Ford (there are now more Permian than Eagle Ford premium locations in EOG's inventory). We continue to advocate EOG as a core holding for long term energy investors. While valuation is not overly compelling (16% upside potential to our revised $109 PT/NAV and trading at 11.2x '17E EV/EBITDAX), the trade off for the higher valuation is a company that provides tremendous visibility on long term production growth."

"This quiet and elegantly restored 20th-century house on a tree-lined street in a trendy, bohemian neighbourhood has ten rooms. The owner, Cristina Marsden, was raised in Buenos Aires and offers a calm sanctuary in her unfussy hotel. Quiet rooms extend back from the street and are interspersed with pretty courtyards affording light and air. Dark oak panelling, restored black and white marble floors, softened by pretty textiles and exquisite stained glass, gives the feel of a traditional Argentine townhouse. Grown-up understated cool."

University of PortsmouthTake me to:
Welcome to University of Portsmouth
Set in the heart of the historic naval city of Portsmouth on the south coast of England, Portsmouth University offers you the best of three worlds – great university facilities, city life on your doorstep and fabulous beaches just a stone's throw away.
The university has produced some famous alumni, including British astronaut Tim Peake, TV personality Ben Fogle and former Secretary of State for Wales Ron Davies, and was also the birthplace of renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The university originally began life as a school of science and arts 1869, training engineers and skilled workers who then found jobs in the city's docks. As shipping declined after the Second World War the school diversified, eventually becoming a university and now offers courses in hundreds of subjects.
It was ranked as a top ten "modern university" by The Times and Sunday Times University Guide 2016 and its sports science courses were ranked second in the UK by the Guardian University Guide. Courses in health professions and chemical engineering also appeared in the top ten.
As well as offering a wide range of courses for study, Portsmouth is a city steeped in history and a great place to spend three or more years as a student. The compact nature of the city centre means you are never too far from the uni campus, bars, coffee shops or nightclubs and there is of course the beach. It's quite flat so cycling is a great way to get around and in your spare time you can always pop to see Henry VIII's warship, the Mary Rose, and visit the naval dockyards.

Courses and fees
Entry Requirements
Different courses will require different entry requirements. The university uses the UCAS system and each course will use the UCAS tariff to express the number of points and subjects needed for each course. Typically, offers will be made between 260 and 300 points but for the most popular courses you can expect to get offers at the higher end of the range.
Portsmouth however, likes to take a well-rounded approach to its applicants and if they can't offer you a place on your preferred course they will try and offer you an alternative. On top of that Portsmouth doesn't just consider your grades but looks at your extra-curricular activities too – work placements, voluntary roles, Duke of Edinburgh awards and Young Enterprise awards to name just a few.
Portsmouth University has a comprehensive list of university departments covering a huge range of subjects. The Faculty of Science is one of the largest, covering a diverse range of subjects. The department is also a respected research centre and has been involved in studies that provided to a breakthrough in the treatment of brain tumours to reports into how much fraud costs the UK each year.
As one of the top 2% of universities worldwide, you might well choose Portsmouth when you come to study in the UK. Academic reputations aside, you can expect a friendly welcome from staff and students alike. The university's international student ambassadors are on hand to answer any questions you might have and the international office can give you all the information you need about visas, accommodation, airport picks ups and money etc.
Tuition Fees
Like all universities, Portsmouth has to charge tuition fees and they are on average £9,000 a year for most courses. However, you do need to check the exact costs of the course you are applying for because there may be additional fees. International students will also need to check the individual costs of their course.
You may be able to get help with your fees and in some cases you might be eligible for a discount. For example, if you pay the full amount early you will qualify for a 2% discount.
Bursaries and Scholarships
There are two bursaries you can apply for at Portsmouth if you're an international student which will give you a reduction in your first year fees provided you meet the right criteria. There are also a range of scholarships open to international students as well.
Library and study facilities
Portsmouth has invested more than £100 million in its facilities over the last decade and has an extensive library with over 400,000 books, microfilms and study aids. Not only does it offer free Wi-Fi and lap top loans, it is open 24 hours a day during exam time.
Once you've got your Student Card you're free to come and go as you please through the library's turnstiles. It also allows you to borrow books and access a number of other services like booking group study rooms.
As a student you can borrow up to 21 books for a four-week period. Just don't forget to return them or you will have to pay library fines.
Not only do you get free Wi-Fi but you get access to computer suites across the campus. IT support is on hand seven days a week, 365 days a year to sort out any problems you might have and there is a drop-in student IT support centre where you have free access with any IT problems you might be having.
There are four open access computing areas around the campus with more than 600 PCs and Macs available for student use, working both independently and collaboratively. Shared teaching spaces can also be used when not being used for lectures.
In addition, there is a laptop loan service where you can borrow laptops, with Microsoft and internet connectivity installed, for up to 12 hours.
Careers service
Portsmouth's Purple Door service offers you lots of advice whether you are a graduate, looking for part-time work to supplement your studies, searching for work placements or volunteer positions or looking to set up your own business.
You can drop in for advice, get online guidance or make a careers advice appointment. Purple door also hosts regular events and workshops to make sure your CV is in good shape and to help you with your job hunt.
The service also has an online jobs board to help you search for part-time work whilst you study and can offer you plenty of advice on writing your CV, filling out an application and preparing for interview. The Purple Door team also works with more than 140 local and national charities to find voluntary placements for students and if your course requires you to do a year's placement they can help you with that too.
Students' Union
Based in the heart of the city centre the Students' Union offers you loads of advice and activities. From Rag Week when you start where you can find out about all the different societies, meet fellow first years and socialise to your heart's content, to the Grad Ball where you can celebrate the end of your degree, there is plenty to do.
The Union has an impressive line up of bands, musicians, shows and comedians appearing regularly and also boasts a bar for meeting up with fellow students for a quick pint.
But the Union also has a wider remit than just attracting the best bands and providing excellent entertainment! It represents the student voice and as such everything is run democratically. If you want to get involved in the running of it during your time at Portsmouth you can. The staff can also offer you advice on everything from academic issues to health and wellbeing and social issues.
If you enjoy journalism, then there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the different student media within the Union. Lovers of the written word might want to work for Pugwash Magazine (Portsmouth University Guild of Writers and Student Hacks), the university's official student magazine or The Galleon, the university's official fortnightly newspaper. The Union also runs Pure FM radio station and UPSU TV, both great experiences if you want to learn about professional broadcasting media.
There are more than 50 weekly drop-in sessions in everything from badminton and rowing, to swimming and squash. Whatever your sporting desire you can be sure to find it at Portsmouth. There are also a number of organised leagues and events you can get involved in and if you're a gym bunny then join St Paul's gym. With more than 100 stations and cardio machines spread over four storeys there's really no excuse not to stay fit!
Portsmouth University also boasts one of the biggest intramural sporting leagues in higher education. If you enjoy competitive sport, there are weekly organised leagues you can take part in. There are more than 130 teams taking part in 24 leagues and they are a great way, not only to enjoy sport but to socialise as well.
If you are a competitive sportsman or sportswoman, you could be eligible for funding or a scholarship from the university. Portsmouth is proud to help its elite athletes fulfil their potential alongside their study and some have gone on to compete at international or Olympic level.
Medical and Welfare Services
For whatever reason you may experience difficulties from time to time at university and the Student Wellbeing Service is there to offer you confidential help with a range of personal and emotional issues. The university also offers a counselling service as well as workshops and courses which can provide you with a great way of getting to grips with some of the more common issues.
For medical problems, most students register with a doctor's surgery close to the university. There are two nearby but ideally you should register with one close to where you live. It's particularly important if you have an ongoing health condition such as diabetes or asthma.
The same goes for dental surgeries – you can choose any NHS surgery you like though it is up to them whether they accept you as a patient. Don't delay though, most surgeries can't give you an emergency same day appointment unless you are registered. Don't wait until you get a toothache, get registered now!
What would suit you better – a sea view or a city centre pad? With Portsmouth ideally located on the south coast you can have the best of both worlds and there are several options to choose from. Portsmouth can also offer a room in halls to all students who make the university their firm choice.
Halls of residence
Portsmouth has invested a lot in its halls of residence in recent years and now has enough accommodation to offer a place to everyone who accepts a firm offer from 2017. Living in halls is a great way to socialise and make new friends, especially in your first year.
There are four locations to choose from at Portsmouth. The Guildhall Halls are in the city centre and close to the main campus, Rees and Burrell Halls are near Southsea Common and very close to the beach and Langstone Student Village overlooks the harbour. Halls at Portsmouth offer both catered and self-catered options.
Prices in halls range from £88 per week for self catered up to £155 a week for catered but check with the university for current rates.
Other housing options
You might prefer to live out of halls, especially during your second and third years, and rent in the private sector. You can pick who you live with and people often make their choices based on who they have formed the best bonds with in the first year.
Portsmouth has been billed as one of the top ten most cost-effective cities to study in so you can expect to pay around £75 to £85 a week plus bills.
You could also try lodging which usually involves renting a room in a house where the landlord is present such as family houses or guesthouses. You can expect to pay anything between £80 and £100 a week and often utility bills, and sometimes even meals, are included.
Open days
A great way to find out if Portsmouth is the right place for you is to go to one of their open days. The university holds several in the summer and autumn. You will be able to take a tour of the campus, meet lecturers and students, explore the city and see what the facilities are like.
Open days are very popular though and you need to make sure you book in advance to get the best out of your visit. For full details of the university's upcoming open days click here.
The next open days for both postgraduates and undergraduates take place on:
- Saturday 5th November 2016
- All faculties
- Undergraduate
- Saturday 19th November 2016
- All faculties
- Undergraduate
Living here
Portsmouth really does offer everything you could want as a student. Historic dockyards and maritime heritage sit comfortably with modern developments and a buzzing nightlife. The city is just 90 minutes from London and within easy reach of Gatwick and Heathrow. There are also regular ferry crossings to the France and Spain, putting Europe firmly on your doorstep.
Of course, there is the Isle of Wight, which is just a short ferry ride away and great for the odd day trip with your friends. Portsmouth is also pretty flat, making it easy for cycling and getting around. Eastleigh beach is a nice spot to spend a sunny afternoon and take a break from your studies or why not take a trip up the city's iconic Spinnaker Tower.
Here's what a few current and former students have to say about the city:
"I visited during an open day and absolutely fell in love with the city and university, so much so, that I couldn't wait to start there."
"I've had lots of fun at Portsmouth, I've met great people and I love my course! All my mates have had great fun this year and are looking forward to next year."
"Portsmouth does have many things going for it, lots of things that are unique to Portsmouth which you won't find anywhere else."
"If you're into history, Portsmouth is the place to be really. There are loads of places to visit in Portsmouth that have had a significant part in history. Portchester Castle (Roman), The Historic Dockyard (lots of stuff), Palmerston's Follies (forts on the hill), Titchfield Abbey (Shakespeare was there at some point), Southsea Castle (where Henry VIII watched HMS Mary Rose sink) and Charles Dickens' birth place."
"The best thing about Portsmouth for me is that you can get on a ferry and go to France for the day or a weekend. I've done this on many occasions!"
On campus
The university is located in the heart of the city rather than on a separate campus so you are very much part of city life as well. There are three main areas; University Central, University South and University North all within easy reach of one another.
University Central is where most of the halls of residences can be found but University North, where the business school, engineering and environmental labs are located, is just a five-minute walk away. University South is home to the library, the students' union and the Spinnaker Sports centre as well as the dental academy. Just a bit further south you will find Southsea common and beach where you can enjoy fantastic views over the Solent.
Langstone Student Village is around two and a half miles away from the centre and is where the university's sports fields are situated. With regular free buses though you are never more than 15 minutes away from the centre. Rees Hall and Burrell House both offer catered student accommodation and are just ten minutes from the centre campus.
There is always plenty to do on campus when you're not studying, whether it is visiting the St Paul's Sports Centre gym or heading to the Students' Union for a drink or a bite to eat.
Sports and recreation
If sport and fitness is your thing, you'll be spoilt for choice at Portsmouth. There are two sports halls and an outdoor sports complex, two dance and martial arts studios, a 100-station gym, squash courts, a hockey pitch and grass pitches for football, lacrosse and rugby so there really is no excuse not to get active.
In addition, the Athletics Union has more than 40 sports clubs you can choose to join, in everything from skydiving to kickboxing and pole dancing. Many of the teams compete at national level with other universities and are a great way, not only to keep fit, but to meet like-minded people and make friends.
Portsmouth University is also committed to helping people reach their full sporting potential and has already produced two Paralympians. There are plenty of links with elite clubs and coaching programmes to help you reach the top of your game. If you fancy volunteering and coaching locally as well, there is opportunity for that too.
It goes without saying the Students' Union is a hive of activity with events taking place every week. The Union is home to many different clubs and societies covering all aspects of cultural, spiritual and political life.
There are plenty of well-known bands, comedians and shows appearing regularly at the Union from around the country as well as big student events such as the Grad Ball for those finishing university and the rite-of-passage Rag Week for those just beginning. Rag week isn't just for settling you into your first year, it is an important way for the Union to raise funds for charities.
It's not just the Students' Union that offers good entertainment though, the city itself has plenty of theatres, cinemas and events to keep you busy throughout your studies. The city is host to a number of important sailing events throughout the year and the Great South Run in October. It's also a great place for music festivals with the Mutiny Festival in May and the Victorious Festival in August.
Portsmouth Guildhall holds events throughout the year and hosts some big name musicians and shows whilst if it is history you prefer, then Portsmouth Museum and the D-Day Museum have plenty to offer as well. The historic naval dockyard, home to the wreck of the Mary Rose, is full of interesting attractions, ships and museums.
You can't beat a night out in the Students' Union with your friends and there are weekly themed nights which take place throughout the year such as a regular comedy club. The bar in the Union is also a pretty popular place to hang out after lectures and enjoy a pint or two with friends.
In the city itself there are plenty of bars and clubs to make the most of. Lots of them are located in Gunwharf Keys which is just a short walk from most halls. Guildhall Walk has a great mix of clubs open to all hours and there are plenty of pubs along Albert Road.
You can catch a film at one of the city's multi-screen cinemas or you can head to the No.6 Cinema – the place to go for independent and international cinema and located in historic Boathouse No. 6, part of the historic dockyard.
