Miramar, FL (PRWEB) April 01, 2015
South Florida's newest concept in retirement living, Casa Sant'Angelo, has received Provisional Certificate of Authority (PCOA) approval from the State of Florida. This approval is an important step in the ongoing development of a retirement community that will offer a catered lifestyle designed to enrich individual health, wellness and spiritual development.
America's aging population is experiencing unprecedented growth but is ill prepared to meet the housing needs of seniors, according to a recent report by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies and the AARP Foundation.
The U.S. News &World Report has published statistics from the Census Bureau which documents how there are more than 40.3 million people age 65 and older in the United States, up 5.3% from 2000.
As the first Archdiocesan retirement community in South Florida, Casa Sant'Angelo will provide an exceptional living experience for independent seniors in Miramar, including personalized services, active lifestyle offerings and lifelong learning. There will be 75 independent living apartments, 13 assisted living units and 24 memory support units. Located on 5.25 acres, it is scheduled to open in 2017.
"After several years of careful planning and due diligence, it is gratifying to see this project take an important step forward toward becoming a reality," said Joe Catania, President and CEO of Catholic Health Services. "Seniors in South Florida have expressed strong support for the type of community we will be offering at Casa Sant'Angelo. We are delighted to see our mission, as well as the mission of the Archdiocese of Miami, reflected in this new retirement community that offers a worry-free living experience where residents can age in place while retaining their dignity, independence and enhance their quality of life."
Casa Sant'Angelo is on the campus of St. John XXIII Catholic Church, just west of I-75. The spacious apartments are part of a close-knit community that includes social and spiritual activities, a swimming pool, wellness and fitness amenities and a restaurant with chef-inspired cuisine.
Designed by the C. C. Hodgson Architectural Group, Casa Sant'Angelo will be built by JWR Construction Services, a company which specializes in creating senior living communities. This is the first non-profit continuing care retirement community built in Broward County in the last decade.
Interested individuals are invited to join the "Casa Club" to receive exclusive invitations to all pre-opening events and be provided priority Founding Member status on the future Casa Sant'Angelo Resident's Council. For more information, please visit http://www.casasantangelo.org or call (954) 447-1122.
About Casa Sant'Angelo
Casa Sant'Angelo is Archdiocesan-sponsored; non-profit; and affiliated with Catholic Health Services, which manages more than 30 South Florida locations and caring daily for 6,500 people of all faiths. Inspired by the principles of living better physically, spiritually; and socially, Casa Sant'Angelo will be an intimate neighborhood limited to 75 upscale residences. A range of assisted living, memory support and in-home health services will be available onsite if ever needed.

About Belgian Meat
The Belgian meat sector specializes in pork and beef. These meats are also typically Belgian exports. Belgian meat producers export almost 860,000 tons of pork and 170,000 tons of beef each year. This puts Belgium at the top of Europe's tables.
- Pork
The Belgian pig meat sector has can avail itself of carefully selected races and cross-breeds that deliver an excellent slaughter yield. The heavier carcasses have a high amount of lean meat. This gives the Flanders an efficient and modern meat processing industry that is known for its flexibility.
The Flanders is responsible for the majority of Belgium's pork production. Pork export is strongly oriented towards the European market, with exports heading primarily to Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy and France. However, pork is also exported to countries outside the EU. The largest consumers outside the EU are the former Commonwealth of Independent States, Hong Kong/China and South Korea.
- Beef
The Belgian cattle herd mostly consists of Belgian White Blue cows. This species has heavily muscled carcasses with both tender and lean meat.
The origin of every cow slaughtered in Belgium is registered in the SANITRACE identification system. This tracking system allows users to track the origin of every piece of meat in every production and commercial phase.
The European Union is Belgian beef's chief market, with the Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany consuming 79% of its exports. Belgian beef is also exported to the Middle East, South Africa, and Eastern Europe.
About the Belgian Meat Office
The Belgian Meat Office coordinates pork and beef export activities. This meat export agency was founded in 2003 under the Flemish Centre for Agricultural and Fisheries Marketing (VLAM) umbrella.

Vince and his team are highly recommended for fence installation and repair.
Dave and his partner did a great job on the gutter and made a few suggestions to help with upkeep. I will hire him for other tasks in the future.
TNT installed gutters on our bungalow. It was a complicated job with a deep roof pitch, lots of twists and turns, and downspouts that connected to a drainage system. He did a great job, and the gutters have actually made our home look even cuter! We are no longer in rainy season so we won't see the full effect until next year, but Tony has let us know we can call on him if adjustments need to be made.
Had gutters taken down. Great job. Arrived right on time. Was careful, clean, and neat. Will definitely use again.

Yeh! Neh! Yeh because it is always excitement when you are excited about experimenting a new ingredient, neh because you are not so sure if you want to slyly copy a recipe to proudly claim the "my invention" badge. Copycat is definitely not my middle name, thus, I sat back for a while to ponder over my own style spaghetti recipe. Ideas of course didn't immediately crawl out from my head, in the end, as always I must rescue the ingredients in my fridge and now ladies and gentlemen, allow me to serve you this Lamb (Lamb Kofta Curry & Lamb Yogurt Curry) Spinach (Spinach Sambar/Dhal Curry & Spinach Tomato Soup) Spaghetti. Al-dente spaghetti in a spicy mildly tangy sauce, scented with rosemary and a generously sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese is absolutely akin a must.
3/4 cup (about 300g) minced lamb
1 small can tomato puree
1/4 tsp paprika
Heat oil and when heated, sauté onion, ginger and chilies.
Note: if you like more gravy, pour some water.
Season with paprika and salt.

Nowadays, search engine optimization is the key to getting your website to be a success. To be competitive, you need to know how to achieve search engine optimization efficiently. This article lays out a few ways that you can create or modify your existing search engine optimization strategies. These suggestions will assist you.
When you're working with SEO on pages you should try to have a lot of articles that are short and about the same thing instead of an article that's long. Longer pages are not as well weighted by search engines. Plus, a long article means that the specific info that the visitor was looking for will likely be buried somewhere in the long article and the visitor will quickly abandon it for another site.
When publishing content, it's best to post multiple short pieces on topics that are similar than it is to post extremely long articles. On search engines, long pages are usually weighted lower than shorter ones. As an aside, many viewers won't read the whole thing if it takes over a few screens to do so.
You should be patient when increasing the SEO for your website. Better rankings and increased traffic will not occur quickly. It will actually take months or longer for new sites. Remember that it takes some time to get your name built up.
Search Engine
Request that a non-profit organization or an educational website link to the content on your site. Your site will receive more favorable treatment when search engines see that your site has received good quality links. In order to get reliable websites to feature your website, make sure to always provide accurate information. Create valuable content that reputable organizations will find worthwhile.
Instead of writing in AP style, use SEO style to improve search engine optimization. This means repeating keywords as much as possible without breaking up the flow of the writing. Since search engines evaluate the density of keywords, your site's search engine rankings should improve dramatically.
Once you have decided on the keywords or key phrases that are most relevant to your website, use them in the title of your web page. Make your title relevant and intelligent, because it is the first impression search engine users will get of your site. The better your keyword fits the words a user typed in, the higher your site is on the results page.
Check out the competitions' HTML code. This lets you see how the SEO strategies on their websites and which keywords they're using. You may not want to do the same thing, but you will learn a thing or two.
When trying to boost your traffic, try adding a site map. This effectively connects each of your webpages. When visitors notice the links on your page, it can significantly increase your site traffic.
Another SEO tool is to be involved in blogging. Search engines are attracted to blogs with innovative content and specific information. Getting links to your site out there is essential for your search ranking.
Blogging on your own site increases your visibility on search engines. When you rank higher on search engine results, more people will visit your website.
While you can hire someone to handle your SEO work, you can easily learn how to do it on your own, too. There are many resources you can turn to for help. There are lots of websites and books out there.
Create a good title tag. Visitors usually read this first when they get into your site. This should be a description that is unique to your website's content with keywords that are relevant. It also can't be too long.
So consider using an article exchange rather than just a link exchange to increase your rankings. This means that you will use an article created by a different website owner, and post it on your website. You will then need to credit the author with the help of a link to their site, and they will do the same for you on their site. Both site benefit because of the content, the links and the increase in traffic.
While there are many facts to know about SEO, you want to take learning about your options one step at a time. Since there is just not enough minutes in a day to learn all SEO techniques, choose one that appears promising and make the most of this area.
Whether your site includes audio or visual content, you will want to have transcripts of the content available. The transcripts allow your content to be easily understood by search engine robots. This will ensure your website gets a higher ranking.
Search engines are the most popular portals between online businesses and online consumers. Many businesses overlook this important fact.
An effective site map will include your keywords. This is the best way to let viewers traverse your sites, and it also provides a good starting point for search engine optimization. Site maps are also utilized by search engines to increase a website's ranking. If a site is easy to access by the engine, then its rating will increase as this is one of the determining criteria.
Do not create pages full of links. Instead, try to blend them in for best results. Visitors are unlikely to find link pages very interesting, and search engines do not rank such pages very highly. Be sure to keep your content aligned with your text in order to give search engines more professional content.
Whenever your site is complete, your first step should always be to register it with all the major engines. Some people may mistakenly think that this automatically happens. Periodically you will want to check in to re-verify that your website is still coming up in search results. If you are not on page one, you are at least there, which offers you room for improvement.
Social media sites may give you the upper hand when advertising. These social outlets allow you to reach out to your customers in real time, making their experience more personal.
Title Tag
You should make sure that you are not on a proxy that is shared with a banned site, if you are using a shared server. Sharing a proxy with a banned site or a site that has been deemed spammers could negatively affect your ratings, and thus not get you the traffic you desire.
Put focus on the title tag. Most people see the title tag as soon as they get to your site. It needs to be a description that's unique, while containing the keywords that have to do with your site. But, you must also keep things as brief as you can.
On-page SEO is essential when it comes to marketing articles, so research thoroughly everything about optimizing your website. Ranking highly on Google will get you a lot of traffic.
You can have a great site, but none are ever perfect. This something important that you should realize about your own website because it is what will help you to spot troubles with your own site and then fixing them. Don't ever allow your concepts to go stale.
One big no-no is publishing the same old article more than once on your website. The Google algorithms consider this cheating and will lower your page rank. Getting people to link to a couple of pages for different things can make your link count go down which can also drop the rank of your page.
Image links are not good for search engine optimization. Image links don't have any anchor text, which means all a search engine has to work with is the link's URL.
If a search engine can tell that you are intentionally getting higher rankings through fraudulent methods then they may manually suppress your ranking. At times, large search engines, such as Yahoo and Google, have completely eliminated companies from their search results! Be well informed about the ethics of search engine optimization!
If you want to be successful in Internet marketing, you should be aware of the many facets of SEO that you need to learn but avoid trying to include all of them at once. There just is not enough time to fully master all the different techniques you can implement, so learn one and exploit it extensively.
Directory submissions, message forums, blogs, article writing and press releases will all help you to get high quality inbound links that are directed to your site. Strong outbound links are one of the most important aspects of search engine optimization.
Keyword Stemming
You definitely need to employ keyword phrases when pursuing SEO and not just keywords themselves. Rarely will people just search one word. The phrases should match keywords your potential audience will use. Don't just use, "We'll be having a sale!" Use something like, "Our Washington store is holding a sale!" " rather than "we are hosting a special event! "
Use plural or longer variations of keywords to increase the opportunity for your site to pop up on search engines. Many search engines rely on keyword stemming. By choosing the keyword "accountant", alternate forms of the word, such as "accounting" or "accountants", may not automatically be included in the search engine results. Use keyword stemming as an advantage over your competition. Use longer forms of your keyword as well as the main keyword.
Using email to market your website is something you really need to do, and do properly. However, it is important to utilize good SEO practices within each email and post to social media. The email should be easily forwarded by the reader as well.
Create your content for human consumption. You need to include the keywords in your website text for the search engine bots to pick up. However, these bots don't buy anything. Everyone must be able to easily read the content on your website. You are sure to fail if it is not.
If you want to bring visitors in a contest works wonders, but pay attention to the law. Look at how competitors run their contests, but don't copy them exactly.
As you work to optimize your site for search engines, it is important to make the most of social networking sites as well. Facebook and Twitter allow you to interact directly with customers and YouTube is a great way to show videos of your product.
Use obvious keywords in your link titles, whether they are on your site or someone else's. " as anchor text. Avoiding this will help ensure search engines see your links as relevant to your keywords, and then they will rank your site higher. You should make sure that your site includes internal links that use keyword links.
For increased traffic from search engines, place your keywords strategically within the text and main body of your blog or website. Put keywords in the first part of the article, but do not place too many. Generally, you should aim to use the keyword two times in the first paragraph. In the 200 words that follow, use the keyword as often as you can, but avoid sounding redundant or awkward.
Keep meta keyword tags current. Be sure that the keywords are popular as well as relevant to your website's content.
Directory submissions, message forums, blogs, article writing and press releases will all help you to get high quality inbound links that are directed to your site. Creating solid incoming links to your site is one of several imperative SEO tasks.
People often overlook the usefulness of using ALT tags as a SEO strategy. Graphics and photos are important because they are visually appealing, but they have a purpose beyond that, too. Make sure ALT tags are used on the pictures you have so the bots for the search engine can read the text. This is a good way to use keywords in your website.
Search Engine Optimization
If you decide to hire a company to do your site's search engine optimization, conduct plenty of research before hiring a solid SEO company. Many search engine optimizers that lack credibility will charge high prices for poor work. Find out from customers how they did and read the reviews and see what they said. This can help you to avoid scam artists.
The advice in this article provides a number of ways to efficiently achieve search engine optimization. It is imperative for businesses to have successful search engine optimization strategies, in order to be competitive in the modern era. By using the above methods, you are sure to give your business the best chance to keep above the competition.
Name all your pictures and files with related keywords, except the pictures you use for design. You may have your business name in your banner title, but if a background image is used, be certain to exclude keywords in its title.

Evangelion quote FTW.
Anyways, I know the last post was kind of random but I was just waiting to segway into this tell all post about the events since the downtime. Oh, remember last post when I said I was going to do a February games of the month post? Yeah, that kinda got shot to hell when my host had me offline for nearly a week mid-month. Here's that story…
Flashback to the 15th, my site had already been offline for a couple days on a "This account has been suspended" page, and I submitted my first support ticket. Almost immediately my ticket was forwarded to another department of support (which was probably I've EVER had with them). BUT I waited another 2 days on this support ticket and no new responses or answers. Of course Live Chat support has been offline since these douchebags took over, so then started I started another support ticket in hopes of SOMETHING, ANYTHING. After another day (this was the 19th by now), FINALLY my prayers were answered when someone from engineering responded and reactivated my account. This is what he said:
"Your site was apparently auto suspended due to suspicious activity. I reactived the account, however you will need to go through your web files to make sure nothing is wrong or malicious."
I was rather confused, as something like had never happened before, so I asked him what exactly could have caused something like this. He responded again (rather quickly compared to their support in general, +2 for engineering):
"Either a excessive usage or malicious file. If it occurs again, I will make a note of what was occuring and let you know."
Well OK, that didn't help me too much. Let's just hope that never happens again before my current subscription expires, m'kay?
This was a wake up call more than ever that I MUST switch hosts when the next opportunity comes up.
I've got more recapping to do, but I'll save it for the next post SOON…

Preview Abstract Abstract
Carolyn Kuranz
(University of Michigan)
Radiative shocks, which are in a regime where most of the incoming energy flux is converted into radiation, occur in astrophysical systems as well as inertial confinement fusion experiments. This type of shock can be created in a laboratory using a high-powered laser. We have performed experiments on the Omega laser facility that irradiate a 20 $\mu $m thick Be disk with about 4 kJ of laser energy in a 1 ns pulse for an overall laser irradiance of $\sim $10$^{15}$ W/cm$^{2}$. The ablation pressure creates a 40 Mbar shock in the Be, which breaks out into Xe or Ar gas at 1.1 atm. The gas is shocked and accelerated and can reach velocities of over 130 km/s. At such high velocities the radiative fluxes become significant, which leads to extensive radiative cooling. The cooling of the shocked material causes compressions of about 20, which are higher than the typical hydrodynamic shock. Diagnostics for this experiment have included streaked and imaging x-ray radiography, optical pyrometry, VISAR and x-ray Thomson scattering. Experimental results to be presented include observations ranging from shock breakout of the Be disk at about 0.5 ns until 26 ns after the laser pulse is initiated. The data will be compared to results from the 3D radiation-hydrodynamic code developed at our Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics. A thorough understanding of the uncertainties in these data is important to our project; these will be discussed.

Budapest is a city that has stood the test of time.
It's rich, and sometimes dark history has paved way for a manner of sights and exhibitions, which to this day, remain popular attractions for tourists visiting this wonderful city.
Budapest is made up of multiple districts and is effectively in two halves, 'Buda' and 'Pest'.
If you're a first time visitor to Budapest, then you must walk the infamous Széchenyi Chain Bridge, the first permanent structure to cross the Danube River and connect 'Buda' and 'Pest'! The bridge was opened in 1849 and remains one of the top attractions, especially for first time visitors.
If you are a citizen of the EU and carry your passport with you, then you may enjoy a visit to the Hungarian Parliament Buildings, located on the Pest side of the Danube River, and receive a free tour, including viewings of the crown jewels – most notably, the 'Holy Crown' which dates back to the twelfth century and has been used for hundreds of years to coronate the Hungarian Monarch.
Not to be neglected, District 8 on the East side of the city (Pest) offers views and tours of many mansion houses and palaces which were commissioned between 1867 and WWI by the Austro-Hungarian Aristocracy. These buildings have since been turned into hotels, university campuses, museums and more. Take a walking tour starting from the National Museum to make the most of the experience!
The Contemporary Art Tour is a great way to see many of the galleries in the city whereas the Mai Mano House of Photography and the Ludwig Museum are attractions that really should have an afternoon spent in them.
Whether you're looking for fine dining, a quick bite or just wanting to spice up your cooking skills, Budapest has something.
From the traditional Hungarian food such as lángos served in the central market hall to the annual culinary events like the Budapest International Wine Festival, held every September where you can sample some of the best vintage wines in all of Hungary and the Pálinka & Sausage Festival held every October.
For more up market, fine dining, you will be pleased to know that Budapest actually has 2 Michelin starred restaurants, Costes and Onyx.
Budapest may seem like an unlikely candidate for a family holiday but let's not be rash!
There are many family friendly sights and activities for you all to participate in, and learn history at the same time!
The Hungarian Natural History Museum is a must see. Winner of multiple 'family and visitor friendly' awards, the impressive displays and interactive exhibitions will leave you wanting more and more.
Take a trip on the Gyermekvasút – a post Soviet era railway, operating in the Buda Hills and run by children (under the supervision of adult railway workers).
The kids do everything from selling tickets to traffic control and the route makes several stops at popular recreation spots such as Challengeland, János Hill – the highest peak in Budapest and Vadaspark – home to a charming zoo to name a few.
Buda Castle, the Palace of Miracles and Aqualand are also 'must do' activities.
Shopping in Budapest has been booming since the nineties, since the introduction of shopping malls and fashion outlets.
Nowadays you are guaranteed to find a boutique store or outlet on any giver corner of the city.
Nagycsarnok – the Great Market is the biggest food market in Budapest, but an increase in tourism has resulted in many stalls selling trinkets and souvenirs. Here you will find traditional folk costumes, decorated eggs and dolls as well and embroidered tablecloths and more!
Ecseri Piac is notably one of the largest flea markets in all of Europe. Selling everything from antique jewellery and soviet military watches to Fred Astaire style top hats and everything in-between
Józsefvárosi Piac, or the Chinese Market as it is commonly known, is chock a block with stalls and shops selling amazingly cheap clothing made in Vietnam and China, cigarettes, liquor, cosmetics and more.

New CA fire sparked
While one fire in northern Los Angeles County in California was better controlled, a new blaze prompted new evacuations on Wednesday.
BY SUSAN KIM | BALTIMORE | July 21, 2004
While one fire in northern Los Angeles County in California was better controlled, a new blaze prompted new evacuations on Wednesday.
The new fire forced some 175 homes to evacuate, burning across more than 5,000 acres on Tuesday. The communities of Little Rock, Bell Springs and Juniper Hills were most threatened.
Meanwhile a blaze in Santa Clarita was 65 percent contained by Tuesday. Some 1,600 homes were evacuated when the 6,000-acre blaze was less controlled, but residents there were back home by Wednesday.
This year's fire season has grown severe early on, said fire officials, who pointed out that multiple fires like California has seen this week usually happen in October.
A Nevada wildfire last week destroyed 15 homes.
As this year's wildfires continued to burn, faith-based disaster responders were praying for the safety of nearby residents, and, at the same time, urging the public to remember long-term needs lingering after last year's wildfires.
In addition to monitoring current fires and praying for those impacted, faith-based groups (including Mennonite Disaster Service, United Methodist Committee on Relief and others) are working in communities such as Julian, Ramona and San Bernardino, rebuilding homes and helping people cope with other long-term effects of last year's wildfires.
Near Julian alone, last summer's fires destroyed more than 700 homes.
Fourteen fires, from Oct. 21 through Nov. 4 last year, killed 24 people, destroyed 3,710 homes, and burned 750,000 acres.

Scientists were probably the last people to find out about chaos. Everyone knows our lives are all chaotic and unpredictable in the long run. The mother of a friend of mine once took a taxi, met the driver, and wound up marrying him. If she had taken a different taxi, my friend would never have existed. I often say that the most successful people are those who are good at plan B. Our predictions must be flexible. Franklin wrote the famous lines "For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail." Others carried this story further so that losing the rider and his message lead to the loss of a battle, then a war, and finally a kingdom, all for the want of a horseshoe's nail. There is common science fiction theme of time travelers making small pivotal perturbations in the past that result in crucial changes in the present. In Ray Bradbury's 1952 short story, "A Sound of Thunder", a time traveler goes back millions of years and accidentally steps on a butterfly, significantly changing the present day world.
Chaos is an area of science and mathematics that describes situations in which small changes can cascade into larger and larger long-term effects.
Of course scientists always knew that is chaotic, but few recognized until the last 30 years that scientific environments in which precise rules govern change can be quite unpredictable in the long run. It is not the complexity of our lives that cause chaos as much as the instability of our lives. Meteorologist Edward Lorenz, one of the founders of chaos theory, suggested in 1960 that the flap of a butterfly wing in Brazil might set off a tornado in Texas, implying that we can never know all the factors that determine our weather. At best we can only predict the details of the weather a few days ahead. Scientists have found that many situations are equally unstable. Computer models have greatly helped us understand how pervasive chaos is throughout science. Our group at the University of Maryland has aimed at telling scientists how to look for varieties of chaos, for specific phenomena common to many situations. But I continue to wonder, if nearly all scientists missed this pervasive phenomenon, what else might we all be missing now?
James A. Yorke earned his bachelors degree from Columbia University in 1963 and his doctoral degree in Mathematics from the University of Maryland in 1966. He stayed at the University of Maryland as a member of Institute for Physical Sciences and Technology (IPST). IPST was established in 1950 to perform interdisciplinary research in the sciences. Today he holds the title of Distinguished University Professor and also is a member of the Mathematics and Physics Departments.
He is perhaps best known to the general public for coining the mathematical term chaos with T.Y. Li in a 1975 paper Period Three Implies Chaos. Chaos is a mathematical concept in non-linear dynamics for systems that vary according to precise deterministic laws but appear to behave in random fashion. The objective of his chaos research is to describe those robust properties that are common in the dynamics of physical, biological, and chemical systems.
Professor Yorke has coauthored three books on chaos and a monograph on gonorrhea epidemiology, and supervised approximately 30 Ph.D. dissertations in the Depts. of Mathematics and Physics. Dr. Yorke's Curriculum Vitae lists of over 300 publications.

(MHTE : 0831 K 91000 425101 - EOT Licence)
What a beautifully kept villa with amazing views. The hosts are lovely and available all the time if you need them. The pool is ama zing but you cannot get bored of the view it's stunning. Will definitely be back. Only other tip i recommend is too get a car.
We have just returned from a wonderful week at Villa Dhalia, Lefkas. The property is immaculate with lovely outside spaces for dining, swimming and relaxing. Everything is we thought through and the views from the beautiful and very comfortable gazebo are spectacular. The villa is set on a hillside with a nice taverna within easy walking distance (though the climb back is quite steep, it's not really very far). If you are happy to walk further you can reach the bars and tavernas in Nidri within half an hour or so. Nidri is much more pleasant now that the through road and harbour are closed to traffic after 7pm.
The villa has four comfortable bedrooms with air conditioning and three have balconies. There is also a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher. Wifi is good.
Furnishings inside are very nice but a little formal - but for a summer holiday the outside spaces are what matter.
Marie, our host, could not have been more helpful and we hope we will be able to return another year.
The luxury villa was lovely and in great conditions. Everything you need in a villa was inside it. The pool had a great view, the rooms were clean and with a nice view, alo the barbecue was very helpful :-). We passed a unforgivable vacances there
We recommend it to everyone
Villa Dahlia is set on a large property on the hill with views down on Nydri, together with four other villas owned by the same family. Each villa is very private and we were not overlooked by any of them. I do not like resorts with many (often impersonal and very commercial) villas, so I was a bit worried it would feel like that, but this was absolutely not the case. The villa was impressively clean when we arrived, and we were given plenty of information by the nice owners. They were always available, and on the one occasion there was something not working, it was solved immediately. An automatic gate separates the public road from the private road towards the villas, which is covered with concrete all the way, unlike some other properties near Nydri where there is only a rocky private road which not only makes the climb rather scary but also you end up fearing for the survival of the rental car. The owners have two dogs, but as we had two members of our group that are scared of dogs, they were kept away from our villa. It is just a detail, but it indicates the consideration of the owners for the well-being of their guests. The gardens are carefully maintained with beautiful flowers, as is the side of the private road which is lined with pine-trees. The view from the villa is impressive. Two years ago, we rented villa Lily, which we also liked a lot, but personally, I prefer Dahlia, as it has an easier access from the kitchen to the terrace and swimming pool, for bringing food and drinks outside and for the children to go in and out of the house or for watching them. There is also a very comfortable shady lounge area: ideal for a lazy afternoon reading a book, or for an evening aperitif. The stone barbecue was very clean when we found it and it did a perfect job. The swimming pool is about 55 m2, rather quite long than wide, which makes it perfect for having a swim. The advantage is that the amount of water to be heated by the sun is less for such a length than with a pool that would be of rather "traditional" width. The width is anyway enough for several people swimming together. The depth is about the same everywhere (+/- 1.50 meters), but there is a small mini-pool connected to it which is shallow for little children to play in. Inside, the house is decorated to the personal taste of the owners, which makes it feel like a "real" house, not an "Ikea-type" house. The kitchen is well equipped. This is a house that feels more like home every day.
The villa was really wonderful with everything u might need,spacious and clean with stunning views!! the owners are nice and friendly..we enjoyed every minute there!
Its in a nice area but its a a little bit far for walking down to the centre but saying that if u want that gorgeous view u have to make a few sacrifices (hahaha) ;), the pool was nice and it was cleaned every day!! Overall would love to visit again couldnt have picked a nicer accommodation :)
Thank u Zikou family ;)
For us this villa offered all, and more, than we expected. The most amazing view first catches the eye, and never stopped giving us enormous pleasure during our stay.
The villa offers spacious bedrooms with excellent, adjustable airconditiong, a fully equipped kitchen; good dining table and sitting room. Internet facilites worked without problem. We forgot to bring our HDMI cable otherwise we could have watched the videos from our laptop on TV. On various places the house had balconies - all provided a stunning view of the nearby sea and mountains, just as the pictures promise.
The swimming pool was big and deep enough (about 1.50 meter) for comfortable swimming. Every morning it was cleaned and given just the right amount of Chloride. There were four relaxing chairs at the pool.
There was also a wonderful place for barbequeing (and relaxing during the evening) with seatings that accommodate a party of about 10 people.
Neighbouring villa's are conveniently away, giving you the feeling of complete privacy.
Upon arrival the house was spotless and we were welcomed and instructed by the owners. A minor point of critique is that at home we are used to slightly softer linen for the beds.
The bustling village of Nydri is at about a 10 minute ride (or 25 minute walk). There are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets to cater for your needs. There is one shop where you can buy fresh fish - if you're too late for catching a returning boat.
All in all a great place to feel at home and spend your vacation.
The island has been awarded the European Blue Flag for many of its beautiful beaches. A jewel in the Mediterranean and one of the most beautiful islands in Greece, Lefkada combines blue water beaches and dense vegetation all over the island.
It retains all the special features that give a different appeal to those islands. The houses are painted in bright colours and the atmosphere is filled with music. Needless to talk about its natural beauty: the waterfalls, the beaches and the friendly villages.
The Island offers sightseeing places, such as castles, museums and International Folklor festival, mini golf, water sports and daily cruises to the rest of the Ionian Islands. All these facilities make the villas an ideal place for your holiday, for your relaxation, well-being and enjoyment.
Other Activities: Folklore Festival taking place every summer

"Flawed" - IF
This week`s topic came at a good time.... This past week has been a chance for some painfully serious introspection, like having to look at myself really close-up in the mirror.
In my illustration, the sleeping figure is obviously lacking and colourless, while the approaching (and reproaching) figures represent certain character traits such as virtue, humility, ingenuity, joy and ambition. I had fun with this.

i also noticed how being "flawed" sets one aside from a group. is that necessary? can't we just accept each others differences and flaws? it would be not so much fun if the world was perfect

Charlotte, NC November 1, 2017. 4th Ward Record announces Mike Shannon's 1st solo effort, "My Dream My Fantasy".

Shannon's stories include subjects from drug addiction, Alzheimer's Disease, aging and gun violence. Says Shannon, "All of my time, heart and energy over the last 18 years has led to this new release...because, in the end that's really what it's been...my passion and my dream. Though often felt more like a fantasy"
Produced by Shannon, along with Eddie Z, Jamie Hoover and Ray Henderson, "My Dream My Fantasy" includes new tunes, along with hand-picked prior tunes re-tracked and re-mastered. Shannon says, "They are now closer to how I initially heard them while writing and in the studio."

The computer mouse is to celebrate its 40th birthday next week. Invented by Doug Engelbart and his team at the Stanford Research Institute in California, the input device method first debuted in 1968.
Then a computer controller made from a carved wooden block with wheels, one researcher nicknamed it a "mouse".
"We thought that when it had escaped out to the world it would have a more dignified name", The Guardian quotes Engelbart recalling. "But it didn't".
"It was faster, and with it people made fewer mistakes. Five or six of us were involved in these tests, but no one can remember who started calling it a mouse. I'm surprised the name stuck".
Xerox developed the mouse in the Seventies and launched the first commercial version in 1981 but the mouse is not credited as a mainstream success until Apple bought the patent in 1984, and Microsoft adapted the tech for Windows.

Tipping Point - Predicting The Next Crash
Around this time in 2015, the International Monetary Fund's Global Stability report questioned whether there was a sustainable recovery. The economic world being hooked on ultra-low borrowing costs.
Cheap money created to rescue the developed economies since 2008. Seems to have created inflated asset bubbles and due to low borrowing costs companies and countries have been encouraged to load up on debt. Emerging markets (India and Brazil) are in trouble.
The attempts to shore up the international financial system after the last crash with the Capital Adequacy Ratios and other systemic reforms, have been described as 'brittle' and fears that shocks to the global economy could lead to a sudden drying up of market liquidity.
So what of the UK. We have 'Brexit' and much confusion of what might be the consequences of withdrawal from Europe. Will the UK survive and thrive following the failure of the European Experiment?
Globalisation means that we have to take into account what is happening not only in Europe but the US, China and the 'emerging' markets. These economies seem to be in one sort of 'pickle' or another and of course by not addressing the fundamental causes of the last crash we at some point may have to 'batten down the hatches.'
Is Brexit some kind of tipping point. As a member of the global community common sense dictates that we cannot trade and exist in isolation. Is it better together or better than on our own if things do not go to plan! The UK economy of which SMEs are its lifeblood are dependent on some kind of normalisation of the international financial system, if another crash transpires then SME will feel the effects.
Tipping Points
Are we reaching a 'tipping point'? Are the conditions transpiring around the UK reaching a critical juncture?
If the UK is unable to obtain favourable trading agreements with other countries (and there are many of them) within a short period of time (2 years or so). This alteration could have an enormous impact. Could the UK survive a financial crash?
Behaviourist Scientists believe they might be able to predict tipping points. They contend that you get similar kinds of behaviour across many different kinds of systems including financial markets and economies prior to a dramatic event, i.e. a crash.
The calm before the storm. Financial markets start acting erratically right before they reach a tipping point. Historically there is an increase in volatility just prior to a large systemic failure.
The human condition is one of being very good at predicting in hindsight and failing to predict the calm before the storm before crash. Just look at Northern Rock and Lehman Bros for examples. We know about Brexit, the likely timetable but do we have sufficient time to adjust and perhaps react to another financial emergency. Hopefully the Deutsche Bank fiasco is not a similar precursor…
Practical advice
For SMEs it is better to assess the strength and capabilities and address perceived weaknesses from a position of well-being rather than illness. Plans can be made and appropriate actions taken.
PCR are able to assist you in this assessment simply make contact and speak in confidence.
My advice do not let events overtake you.

For our Tippin's Cherry Pie we use only Montmorency cherries. Some people might not know the difference between varieties of cherries, but there are distinct differences and reasons why we only use Montmorency.
Variety and Color: Montmorency tart cherries or sour cherries are bright red when harvested, and they retain that color when dried, frozen or juiced. Sweet cherries are darker, looking almost a deep purple. Bing cherries are the most popular sweet cherry.
Taste: Tart cherries are, well, tart. They have a unique sour-sweet flavor that pairs well with a little big of sugar between two flakey crusts. Sweet cherries can range from slightly sweet to intensely sweet depending on where they are grown.
Versatility: Sweet cherries are typically eaten fresh. Tart cherries can be eaten fresh, but are also found in pies, trail mix, frozen, dried, or in other baked goods.
Science: When it comes to nutritional science and cherries, most studies involve tart Montmorency cherries. More than 50 studies have examined the potential health benefits.
Some health benefits:
- Antioxidant Protection
- Cancer-Preventive Compounds
- Reduce Inflammation and Your Risk of Gout
- Support Healthy Sleep (Melatonin)
- Arthritis Pain Relief
- Reduce Belly Fat
- Reduce Post-Exercise Muscle Pain
- Lower Risk of Stroke

Future Comics: Brandon Generator: a good step in the right direction for interactive storytelling
by Serhend Sirkecioglu
My common complaint with the current wave of interactive/digital comics is the lack of ingenuity, risk, and execution, which fall into three camps. The first is the artist-centric camp where the person who made the comic is a competent cartoonist but has no knowledge of programming and is unconscious of interactivity, so the function feels gimmicky and not worth my time. The second is the program-centric, where the design is strong but the story is not much of a looker or read, and can feel more like a proof of concept than a whole-hearted piece. Finally, the third camp is the ones that peter out because the time and energy put into it outweighs the pay off, leading to burnout and an unfinished story.

OK, personally for me, Zombies officially went passe the moment Robert Kirkman appeared on The View, but that's not deterring people from overdoing it. This web comic, I'll let it slide 'cause it did more with the tired formula.
Zombies Eat Republicans uses a scrolling format but where The First Word stops, ZER takes it further by incorporating sound and music (although looping, which can become annoying) and having the panels slide into place instead of being a static layout, making the read much more active. The comic employs a dragging command to move the story along; though the arrow keys are available, I suggest the mouse or touch for more control.
The bigger picture on Marvel's new digital initiative
While Marvel's corporate policies don't allow for too much investment in their print business, they have been really ramping up the digital side of things. Why? Rob Salkowitz looks at the meta side of the new online comics line and AR experiments in terms of how it positions the company:
Future Comics: That Twitter comic by the Eyeshield 21 guy everyone is talking about
Yusuke Murata is the manga-ka behind the very popular American football manga EYESHIELD 21. In between massive ongoing series—his next project is called onepunchman—Murata started posting a webcomic via Twitter, bsed on yet another series, Hetappi Manga Research Lab R. The story involves Murata being chased over a cliff by an editor and looming deadlines—no paranoia there!—and he uses unique folded paper and lighting effects to give the story more impact.

Glidecam HD-2000 (GLHD2) for cameras up to 2.7 kgSKU: 1697
Stabilizer / Payload up to 2,7 kg / Precision Bearings / Three-Axis Gimbal
Glidecam HD-2000 (GLHD2) stabilizer for cameras weighting 0.9 - 2.7 kg
The top seller among all stabilizers - for cameras with a maximum weight of 2.7kg.
Glidecam Industries - now becoming the choice of a generation
Glidecam makes your decisions concerning camera stability and movement, simple and easy. When you wish for your camera to glide smoothly along your chosen path, simply rely, as so many have and still do, on using a Glidecam Camera Stabilizer. Glidecam Industries, Inc., now in its seventeenth year, offers a wide range of camera stabilizers each optimized for various camera weights and shooting conditions.
The amazingly advanced and totally re-engineered Glidecam HD-Series™ from Glidecam Industries represents the top of the line in hand-held Camera Stabilization.
The lightweight and state-of-the-art Glidecam HD-1000, HD-2000 and HD-4000 hand-held Camera Stabilizers will transform your hard to watch, shaky camera footage into hypnotically smooth, professional footage. The Glidecam HD-Series offers advanced features and a degree of sophistication never before seen in a line of Hand-held Camera Stabilizers.
Glidecam HD-SERIES
With the Glidecam HD-Series hand-held Stabilizers your camcorder seems to float, always balanced, isolated from your hands undesirable motions. Now you are free to move with your camera - panning, tilting, booming or running without any camera instability or shake.
The Glidecam HD-Series works so well that it allows you to shoot incredibly smooth and graceful shots even while going to extremes like running up and down stairs or traveling over rugged terrain. And when it comes to normal shooting, like walking or moving the camera slowly around someone, the results are equally magical.
Each HD-Series Stabilizer's offset, foam cushioned, Handle Grip is attached to a free floating, three axis Gimbal. This allows your hand to move up and down, and side-to-side, thereby isolating your hand's unwanted motions from the camera. This up and down movement alleviates the bouncing, pogo type action often associated with our competitor's system because their handle cannot move up and down. This design feature, coupled with the overall higher inertia of the HD-Series systems, produces superior stabilization when compared with our competition.
A unique and proprietary, precision, three-axis Gimbal incorporates several adjustable, axis convergence controls. This allows all three axes to intersect for proper operational alignment.
A camera-mounting platform with a quick-release, no-tools, drop-on camera plate allows you to quickly attach or remove your camera. Ergonomic, control knobs allow quick, precise adjustment of the top stage's back and forth, and side-to-side movement. These controls allow you to adjust the camera's horizontal balance. By varying the amount of Counter Weights on the Base Platform, or by changing the length of the no-tools telescoping Central Post, you adjust the camera's vertical balance. When balanced properly the camera floats, ready for you to move into action.
The Glidecam HD Series stabilizers offer unparalleled controllability and ease of use with their unique rigid, yet dynamically adjustable, control and weight distribution surfaces. Setting up, controlling and adjusting system balance is now quick and precise. A unique and proprietary Dynamic Base Platform can expand or contract. This allows you to easily adjust the systems dynamic balance or to increase or decrease the systems rotational pan inertia.
Shot after shot, move after move, the Glidecam HD-Series Stabilizers deliver beautifully smooth and professional results. With the Glidecam HD-Series you no longer need a tripod or a dolly. All you need is your Imagination!

Downtown Ybor | Tampa Child Photographer | Dress Obsessed/
So we had this gorgeous dress from Love Baby J, and I wanted to do a modern take on a Southern Belle in the City with it. These dresses are just so well made, and have so much potential for amazing photos, and really do make little girls feel like princesses. Here are some of my favorites from our Downtown Ybor shoot.

Sheriff's deputies arrested a Baton Rouge man accused of raping a woman and then telling two other men they could rape her while they were all at his home last month.
Jah Lura Patterson, 35, offered the woman a ride to his home after they both attended a party in East Baton Rouge Parish, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
When they arrived at the Ellis Drive home on Nov. 17, they used cocaine and drank mushroom tea, and then Patterson asked to have sex without a condom, which the woman refused, the affidavit states.
Patterson then raped her and told two men at the house they could rape her, according to the affidavit.
Deputies were alerted after the woman was found banging on doors in the neighborhood, trying to get help.
The affidavit does not say whether the other two assailants have been identified.
Patterson, 16730 Ellis Drive, Baton Rouge, was booked Saturday into Parish Prison on a count of aggravated rape.
Teenager admits to opening fire on three
Sheriff's deputies arrested an 18-year-old man accused of three counts of attempted murder after deputies say he pulled up to a group of men standing on Kilona Drive and exchanged gunfire with them last month.
Maleke Hynard told deputies on Friday that he wanted to get back at an assailant for breaking into his friend's car and stealing a gun, according to the affidavit of probable cause. One day after the burglary, Hynard told deputies that, in retaliation, he drove to the 5600 block of Kilona Drive and, as soon as he stepped out of his car, he opened fire on three men standing in the carport, the affidavit says. One of the men returned fire, and after the shots were exchanged, Hynard jumped back in his car and drove away, the affidavit says.
The affidavit does not mention whether anyone was injured.
Hynard, 5720 Sunset Hill Ave., Baton Rouge, was booked Saturday into Parish Prison on counts of attempted first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.
Authorities book two on suspicion of DWI
Authorities arrested at least two people suspected of driving while intoxicated in East Baton Rouge Parish and booked them into Parish Prison between 2:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, booking records show.
Those booked and the counts against them:
Justin Bergeron, 25, 16531 Crepemyrtle Drive, Baton Rouge, first-offense DWI, reckless operation of vehicle and speeding.
Cedric Smith, 28, 5539 Old State Highway, Lottie, first-offense DWI, possession of alcoholic beverages in vehicle, improper lane usage and driver's license suspended or revoked.

Diluted with distilled water, PVA size is a contemporary size for fabric support. PVA seals the fabric but does not re-absorb atmospheric moisture, preventing the size layer from swelling and shrinking. It has a neutral pH and does not yellow, plus it retains its flexibility, does not emit harmful volatiles, and protects fabric from the ground. PVA does not tighten the fabric like rabbit skin glue, so stretch fabric tightly.
This is the traditional size glue for fabric support. Conservation scientists caution painters that rabbit skin glue absorbs and releases atmospheric moisture leading to the swelling and shrinking of the size layer.
Gamblin Traditional Gesso is a dry mixture of rabbit skin glue, gypsum, marble dust, and titanium dioxide. Robert Gamblin recommends applying four coats of Traditional Gesso to both sides of thin or poorly braced panels. Traditional Gesso is mixed with water and applied to panels, but it is too brittle to use with fabric supports. Paintings on gesso (either traditional or acrylic) are more matte because of the high absorbency. In a 1 lb. container.

When I was a kindergarten teacher, I decided to individually monitor my students' progress at the end of every week. Don't worry; this did not take as much time as you might think. In fact, it usually only took about 45 minutes to complete!
I assessed my students when they played during free-choice center time. Free-choice centers were a big hit in my class because students could play with toys at different stations around the room. They weren't required to do anything special in these centers other than use their imaginations with their friends!
While they played, I called each student to my table and quickly asked them to show me what they had learned that week. Students pointed to capital and lowercase letters on a page that I had printed out and told me the letters' names and the sounds they make. Then they read the sight words for that week (we usually added two or three new words per week).
I even had time each week to listen to half the class read a leveled reader that included all the sight words we had learned so far. Hearing students read individually gave me a chance to hear them practice sounds, sight words, and fluency skills. Since I listened to half the class read each week, I alternated the next week.
These quick assessments gave me insights into what the class learned each week and gave me something extra to send home to parents in case they wanted to practice with their children at home. Once my students had become used to the process, I loved this quick Friday routine. Each one would quickly come up to my table and start saying letter names without any instructions!
Weekly progress monitoring helped me plan the next week's lessons and use student assessment results to identify anything that may have been missing from my instruction.

I tossed the saddle back on Bentley, ready for another 6 miles of riding. That's when Solstice asked me: You know how to pony right? Uhhh… I hadn't realized that sponsoring Serina meant I was ponying. However, I am always game to try, and Bentley seemed to be calm and willing that day. We practiced a little bit in start area, and Bentley didn't seem to notice or care.
Sue came over and told us that Serina had to be out front. This made Serina very nervous. Sue did confirm we were allowed to pony, and she didnt have to be in "front" so much as I was not allowed to pull her along. We agreed that it was Serena's job to keep Liza forward and maintain a nice swing in the lead rope at all times, but it would stay there in case of emergency.
The trail opened and we picked our spot at the back of the pack. Liza wasn't eager to trot along the road for the start of the trail, so we stayed back and walked gingerly. We started to trot once we hit the trail, and Serina did her best to kick Lazy Liza on.
We actually passed a horse on trail (which I don't think Serina had done before) and were no longer in last place. We practiced letting Serina back behind on the single track trail, and bringing Liza back beside us on the double track trail. We practiced trotting down very subtle grade hill, and up the hills too. Serina said it was the most she had ever trotted at any ride.
At one point we came up behind Rob, who was running at a pace well suited to us and we continued on with him for a while. Then we came to a turn and saw them: four wheelers! Motorized vehicles are not allowed in the Dufferin forest, and Serina got pretty worried when she saw them. Rob ran ahead to give them a piece of his mind (to make matters worse, I had seen them in the Set Speed, then they later drove through camp, and had already been told once they were not welcome on the trails). I reminded Serina to stay calm, hoped for the best – not sure if I was prepared to handle both horses in the trees if they freaked out. Thankfully Rob, got them off trail and we didn't have to pass them too closely. Crisis averted!
We rode into the vet check and Serina's father rode his mandatory 2 steps before tying. Bentley actually took longer to pulse down than Liza. His trot is enormous, much larger than Liza's, so through the whole 3.5 miles, I had been holding him in tight. He took that as a cue to ride in a nice round dressage frame and very collected… much harder than just letting him go!
We vetted through and continued on, passing Serina's father early, and trotting on. Before the end of the ride, Serina was actually asking ME if we could trot (rather than me saying "ok, its trot time!"). We even tried a bit of canter when the trail opened up nicely. We crossed the finish line in her fastest time yet.
Very successful. She was so happy, and so was I to see how well Bentley took to the ponying. This opens up a lot of possibilities and gives me all sorts of fun ideas for training over the winter!
Bentley still felt nice and fresh too, so we decided to continue with plans to do the 50 the next day… to be continued in Part 3!

Yes, this aloft has the young vibe the aloft brand is known for, however, it offers more... For starters, the lifts are a bit brighter than other aLoft hotels, which is to my liking. The hotel feels like an upgraded aloft with more sophisticated designs throughout. The room decor feels young yet elegant, more like a room of a design boutique hotel. It's GM Tiffany Lin took time to peraonally give me a call in my corner room, which is complete with a sink-in tub, personally welcomed me to the hotel for my first ever stay. Needless to say, I felt welcomed and that made an everlasting impression. I am definitely coming back to it again!
