On December 16 2015 the EU General Court(1) stated that the European Commission had failed in its obligation to adopt a delegated act specifying scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine-disrupting properties pursuant to the EU Biocides Regulation.(2)
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that could have harmful effects on the body's endocrine (hormone) system. Biocidal products may contain such chemicals and pose risks to humans, animals and the environment because of their intrinsic properties. The possible negative effects of endocrine disruptors on human health and the environment are a growing concern. The European Union has introduced specific legislative obligations aimed at phasing out endocrine disruptors in water, industrial chemicals, plant protection products and biocides, in order to improve the free movement of biocidal products within the European Union, while simultaneously ensuring a high level of protection. In Sweden, the occurrence of endocrine disruptors in products, cosmetics and food packaging, among other things, has been under debate in recent years and the Swedish Chemicals Agency has expressed its intention to identify and phase out the use of endocrine disruptors.
The case was initiated by an action brought by the Swedish state against the European Commission on July 4 2014. Sweden claimed that the commission had failed to comply with Article 5(3) of the Biocides Regulation, stating that the commission should have adopted delegated acts to specify the scientific criteria for identifying endocrine-disrupting properties by December 13 2013 at the latest. Thus, Sweden held that the commission infringed the regulation and sought a declaration from the court that, according to Article 265 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the commission had unlawfully refrained from laying down rules. Such actions are rarely brought before the European courts.
The General Court found that it was explicit in the regulation that the commission had a clear, precise and unconditional obligation to adopt delegated acts regarding the specification of the criteria by December 13 2013. The court considered the regulation's wording to be clear and unambiguous, and there was therefore no reason to interpret the obligation in light of its context or purpose.
In its defence, the commission argued that the scientific criteria that it had proposed had been subject of severe criticism on the grounds that they would have a negative effect on the internal market and had no basis in science. According to the court, the criticism was irrelevant considering the fact that the commission was obliged to adopt the scientific criteria before December 13 2013.
The tribunal stated that the regulation reflects the legislature's desired balance between the aim of improving the functioning of the internal market with regard to biocidal products on the one hand and the aim of protecting human and animal health and the environment on the other. The commission cannot question that balance when exercising the powers delegated to it by the legislature. The commission cannot rely on the fact that the regulation's objective is to improve the functioning of the internal market and therefore call into question the commission's clear, precise and unconditional obligation to adopt delegated acts on scientific criteria, or allow the commission to withdraw from this obligation. The court did not consider the commission's argument that interim criteria would guarantee a sufficiently high level of protection.
Thus, the court concluded that the commission had failed to fulfil its obligation under the Biocides Regulation to adopt delegated acts as regards the scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine disruptive properties.
The judgment concerns only the Biocides Regulation, but it may have an effect in other areas – for example, the use of endocrine disruptors in plant protection products and cosmetics.

Bosu Balls
Bosu balls are a must have for any fitness professional, home personal trainer, gym, or home gym. They are incredibly tough and durable, designed to be stood on, jumped on and much more.
Because of the design of bosu balls, they are incredibly effective for improving balance and core stability. Take any standard static exercise and move it to either standing or laying on a bosu ball and the instability will force your stability muscles to work much harder maintaining form.
To further increase the challenge of bosu balls, try using them upside down with the rubber ball of the bosu down. This will create a very unstable platform.

Ramjas College on Thursday suspended a BSc student for allegedly ragging his classmate earlier this month.
According to the college order, the student will face suspension "till further orders". The next meeting of the anti-ragging committee is scheduled on September 27.
The ragging incident came to light on September 9 when Ritwiz Rai, a first-year student of BSc (Honours) physics, filed a complaint with the college authorities. He accused Rajiv Kumar, from the first-year batch of BSc (Honours) mathematics, of beating him up with the help of senior students.
Though Kumar is also a first year student, the principal forwarded the complaint to the anti-ragging committee as he has failed his examination twice. "So technically, Kumar is senior and he attacked Rai with the help of his third-year friends. In this context, it is a case of ragging," Prasad said.
"The incident took place in the first week of September. Rai was beaten up when he tried to stop a few seniors from ragging his friend near the college canteen. The CCTV footage shows that nine senior students along with Kumar had thrashed him. Rai's left eye is badly hurt," said Tanvir Aeijaz Alam, a member of the college anti-ragging committee. This is the first instance of ragging reported from a Delhi University institution in the new academic year.

About 80 workers protested outside an AT&T dispatching facility in Glendale Thursday that was sparked, union leaders say, when a female technician refused to remove a union button she was wearing at work.
AT&T and its union workers are in contract negotiations and one of the main sticking points is healthcare coverage, said T Santora, president of Communication Workers of America, Local 9003.
In the last round of negotiations, workers agreed to pay 18% of their premiums, but the company now wants them to pay much more, Santora said.
When unions are in negotiations, their members often wear buttons or stickers showing their union support while at work, he said.
A few weeks ago, Santora said AT&T management complained about a certain button that asked the question "Where's The Fairness?" The question's acronym spells a derogatory phrase that's become popular lately — "WTF?"

I was on a message boards where someone asked how to add color to black and white pictures in photoshop. Super easy. There's a million ways to do it and lots of those are a simple variation on using the paintbrush tool in a mode other than normal. Something like "Darken" or "overlay" will preserve the underlying pixels and use a formula to combine them with your new color. This is super easy. It's just using the paint brush tool. I even created a picture to show what the different modes would do on a black and white photo.
Other people responded that "___" program was better (ummmm sorry, but any one with a brain knows that's simply not true -- how about you email adobe and tell them that paint is better and see how seriously they take you, BESIDES he didn't ask what program you used, he asked how to do it in the program he HAS). Or linked him to horribly complex tutorials. This is why so many people are scared of photoshop. Idiots who know how to use it want to make it look like it's harder than it really is so they look like they have skills.
You can look at tutorials to do things and learn how to do that one specific thing in one specific way -- but you gain nothing. It's far better for you to know that you can use the paint tool in a different mode than for me to tell you 30 steps to color someone's eye green.
And I can't stand people who do something horribly simple in photoshop and then show it off to people who have no idea how you did it and act like they are gods. Sorry, baby -- but I can do the same thing 10 times better and i'll even throw in an explanation of how I did it for free. Photoshop is a tool. Plain and simple.
Before you can build a house, you have to learn how to use a hammer. If I tell you how to hammer a nail, I'll do you much more good than linking you to blue prints for a house.
I'm done.
Wait, no I'm not. This particular girl (the one who is bragging and saying how hard it is) has no talents what-so-ever but thinks she does. I'd really like to link her to some of the worth a thousand contests or those message boards where people show off REAL photoshop art (that I could NEVER compete with, BTW). I can't STAND people like this. I want to slap her -- hard.
I always find it funny that the people who are best at something, are the ones who are willing to teach you. It's the people with no talent that want to say it's hard. If you ask a physics professor how something works, he'll be the first person to sit down and start drawing you pictures and explaining it in the simplest of terms. People who love their work, want to draw you into it -- they don't tell you it's hard and act like they're better than you.
Now, I'm done.

I've been buying the King's Calendars for almost 10 years now, usually their bull elk editions. Can't get enough of 'em!!
They are very likely man made mutants. Met a guy a few yearsvago that produced critters that looked just like those. They were chemically and genetically raised to produce abnormal antler growth.
Some of those are photoshopped recreations of deer that have already been killed. Love the calendars.
yup....they freely admit that the pics are photoshopped to make awesome pictures

Tuesday's press conference with Sarah Huckabee Sanders was no less of a clusterf*ck than usual, but this one seemed to put a brand new spin on just what the White House is going with in terms of acknowledging that the FBI basically just threw them under the bus on the Rob Porter story while still refusing to admit they were wrong.
Hang on tight, because this one's a doozy.
Appearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray left a gaping hole in the official White House story that Porter's background check hadn't been completed before he was ousted over allegations of domestic violence against two of his ex-wives:
According to FBI Director Wray, the FBI notified the White House about former aide Porter's background check in March, completed the report in July, & closed the file in January. This timeline contradicts the Trump White House. pic.twitter.com/tPWhyO5cHZ
— Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) February 13, 2018
Confronted with that fact, Sanders was forced on the defensive, and the defense that she chose was… interesting, to say the least.
.@PressSec, when pressed about Rob Porter timeline: "The FBI portion was closed, the White House Personnel Security Office — the one that makes a recommendation for adjudication — had not finished their process." https://t.co/jTle9syoNH pic.twitter.com/oW1qLBMQaI
— CBS News (@CBSNews) February 13, 2018
So, we think at this point Sarah has accepted that Trump's FBI Director is telling the truth, and that they HAD, in fact, completed the background check, so now they're going with "well, what we meant was that here in the White House, that part hadn't been done yet."
But yesterday, when she was busy deflecting questions as to why Trump wouldn't personally say that he believed Porter's ex-wives and forced her to say it for him, she also put all of the responsibility for that pesky background check on forces outside the White House:
After FBI Director contradicts WH narrative, Sanders today says process at WH had not yet completed.
But just yesterday she said: "Look, this is a process that doesn't operate within the White House. It's handled by our law enforcement and intelligence community." https://t.co/VCaaxcmK56
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 13, 2018
So clearly she's talking out her ass, as usual. Oh, there were skeptics:
Sarah Sanders says no one senior in the White House knew of the allegations. FBI said they reported four times to the White House. So why aren't White House officials raging mad that no one filled them in? Sanders won't say.
— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) February 13, 2018
There is the new WH story: @PressSec is now diverting responsibility to "career officials" in the WH personnel security office.
— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) February 13, 2018
White House spokeswoman seems to be arguing the White House personnel security office is not a part of the White House
— Devlin Barrett (@DevlinBarrett) February 13, 2018
But the bottom line is, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is once again left twisting in the wind by her boss and this time by his Chief of Staff, as well. I wish I could feel bad for her, but, um… no.

I have the pleasure of showing the next generation of men what it means to be a Father, Husband, Disciple Maker and Friend. I am just an open book for them to read and walk along side to see that it does not take a perfect person to be an impactful person.
Here's the AFAM ATL STP team! College Students from 5 campuses came to Atlanta on 22 May - 13 June to attend a 3-week spiritual discipleship intensive!
I just wanted to share with you what your faith in giving to God's ministry has done on the campus of Wayne State University in the heart of Detroit, Michigan. God is at work here. Considering that just a few short years ago, there was no organized ministry taking place at Wayne State, God has done incredible things. And Carolyn are believing Him for so much more.
Thank you for allowing me to better serve the next generation of 20 somethings and Nav alum!

Although the Harvest on the Ridge Apple Festival is sponsored by the Sparta Chamber of Commerce, it had plenty of Alpine Township flavor added throughout.
The best tasting smoked ribs in the Harvest on the Ridge BBQ contest had to be the ones prepared by the Squirell II team, headed up by Alpine Township resident Mike Warrelman, assisted by his family. While this may not be the official judges' opinions, these ribs were simply awesome. "Better than candy!" exclaimed one young connoisseur.
The Antique Tractor Show had neary 30 participants. A parade followed, ending at the Bow Tie Tavern on Alpine Ave and Ten Mile. The event was was part of a fundraiser sponsored by the Bow Tie to raise money for Gilda's Club, a cancer victim support group.

Savings and Expenses
In the next four weeks I will begin seeing substantial savings in my normally-in-the-red checking account as my social service programs kick in. On Saturday, for instance, I received notice from Access Para-Transit that I will receive my card for unlimited free access to all L.A. Metro bus lines. And the free cell phone from the Lifeline program will save me anywhere from $15-35 per month in airtime. As soon as I receive my Medi-Cal card (as secondary payer to my Medicare) I will no longer have to endure co-pays at the doc's office and the pharmacy.
Unfortunately, however, there are still plenty of OTC medical needs that come out pf my pocket and I need help big time today. I have been out of gauze bandaging for two days (for the plaque psoriasis on my palms) and need to purchase two rolls at CVS at $4.99 each plus a small tube of petroleum jelly @ $3.49. Problem is I don't have that kind of dough-re-mi in cash or on Paypal.

I want to smack plus one. He owes me some money, which is not really a big deal. I don't really mind that so much as he then spends money in the most inconceivable places instead of thinking about it.
I'd like him to consider:
- Bringing lunch to work. It's considered 'uncool' for the most part in the UK but I reckon the average person wastes at least £200 on lunches in a working month instead of about £30 (or less – a friend worked out he could manage on 50p a day if he brought spaghetti and premade sauce in). If only he could see all the people climbing off the Gautrain with their little cooler bags!
- That for non-perishables it counts to buy the cheaper bulk volume sometimes.
- Having said that, you have to compare against promotions and offers and if it will spoil before you consume it all because bulk may not be cheapest or best choice.
- That you CAN eat no name brand food on occasion and it might be almost the same – you could at least try it!
- Water does not have to come out a bottle and be fizzy, it is sometimes drinkable out a tap.
- Premix spices and flavouring sachets for say spaghetti bolognaise are far less economical than just mixing it off the spice rack yourself – and you can customise.
- Get a credit card with a lower interest rate if you MUST owe the bank money – and that having said that, I'd rather you owe me interest free than the bank because in the long run if we are together, you are messing with both our futures.
- You CAN wear a sweater in the house in the winter, the heating does not have to be cranked up to tropical, it is normal to be cold in SA in the winter indoors (which is why I try not to visit in winter).
- Switch off the lights if you plan on being in another room for over half an hour, even with energy saving bulbs, it's a bit pointless when noone is in the room.
- If you do have store cards/discount cards etc and are shopping in the area, take them with and ask for the discount!
- Know your pricing when you shop and then try hold out if there is a largish price difference to buy where it's cheaper. Don't just throw things willy nilly into the basket because you like them. I can't even say it's a man thing because standing in the Pick 'n Pay a middle aged man grumbled to me 'the Lays have gone up since last week, what is wrong with this place'. I think South Africans are just more aware of these things.
- Price match is a big thing in the UK although it does require some research. It's not really worth it for a can of soup but it's worth considering for big things like holidays or specialised equipment – expensive items basically. It allows you to buy from the most reputable retailer at the lower cost – or just lock the lower cost.

For a long time I have wanted to work from a series of old photographs of my grandmother, from one year up, and I realized I could join in with photographs of myself, linked as we are by music. These were done in colored pencil, a medium I have not really worked in; it seemed to offer a depth of color for the flesh tones that would work more gracefully than watercolor.

City Council Meeting November 22
City's inaction on Harborview House demolition questionedMarc Knapp
We are hard pressed to find much of interest arising from the agenda of last night's Council meeting. So we won't try. But we will dwell on a comment made by Council member George. He lamented the destruction of one of the few old houses on James Island and questioned how such a thing could occur. I also spoke of the demolition and the questions that it raised about the "process".
Most folk learned of the demolition from a report in the Post and Courier about a week ago. Harborview House was built about 150 years ago. The property was sold in 1999 to a developer, Point Verona Partners, the principal of which was Lawrence Thompson, assistant to Mayor Riley. The property was subsequently subdivided and the parcel on which the old house remained, no longer abutted Harbor View Road. According to the Post and Courier, the house was sold to Noel Mermer who said the house was not salvageable. The sale has not yet been registered by the County on its public records.
According to the City, because the house no longer abutted Harborview Road, it no longer fell into the Commercial Corridor ordinance and was therefore not protected. Nor was it designated a City landmark.
City insensitive
Council member George questioned the sensitivity of the City's planning and zoning. This building was one of a few remaining historic structures remaining on James Island. Residents of James Island were shocked to see that almost overnight the structure had been destroyed and without any discussion with the community. The shock was also felt by Cynthia Jenkins, the President of the Preservation Society who called the Council member immediately she became aware of the demolition.
House fell outside ordinance
Ms. Yvonne Fortenberry, head of Planning rose last night to defend the City's action and virtually repeated the comment in the Post and Courier. The City had an ordinance that required scrutiny of demolition plans for old buildings along major thoroughfares. However as the house did not front Harborview Road, the demolition did not need scrutiny.
Why not on landmark register?
Mayor Riley weighed in and stated that if Council member George felt so strongly about the building, why had he not moved to include it in the City land mark register? Council member George did not respond to this retort but almost certainly would have moved to have the building included if he thought the building were threatened. As I pointed out in Citizens' Participation, the City goes to great lengths to preserve houses in Council member Lewis's District, where residents state that buildings are unsalvageable. But here we have a building whose historic importance matched just about anything on the East or West sides and it was simply torn down, and suspiciously fast.
Subdivision circumvented Ordinance
Council member George was clearly unhappy with City's semantic play. Prior to the subdivision, the property would have abutted Harborview Road, and would have been protected by City ordinances. By allowing the subdivision and by changing the access to Old Summer House Road, the City ordinance has been circumvented. Harborview House no longer abutted the road to which it gave the name, Harborview. It therefore had no protection. And the City was not about to afford it any.
Was it indifference or something else? We would make a contrast with the City's efforts to encourage Clemson to build its controversial architecture center on George Street. The City's zoning and planning have gone to lengths that in my opinion, may be legally challenged. Yet here, the City had not lifted a finger. Why? It was clearly aware of the house's historical importance.
Ms. Fortenberry suggested that the City should again look at the ordinance and maybe other properties like Harborview House be included in the landmark list. Maybe! But it is too late for Harborview House, the 2 story structure that was once a landmark on the shore, served as a hospital during the Civil war and whose grounds were once a delight to James Islanders.
Another entry to list
So those of us that are questioning the "process" whereby the City approves building and construction have another name to add to the list. Recent entries include the Clemson School of Architecture, clustered affordable housing on Daniel Island, clustered affordable housing on West Ashley, and now, Harborview House. Once again the City has ignored public opinion, or failed to anticipate it, and for reasons that are open to question.
Your Comments:comments anchor
I am the former owner of this property and wish to comment only that Mr. Knapp, as usual in his articles on this site and at Citizens' Participation, does not know the facts, bends those he does know to fit his whim of the moment which are usually so far from reality that I wonder how his mind works, if it does at all.
Posted by: Lawrence O. Thompson at November 25, 2005 03:10 PM
Just wondering if you'd be interesting in stating the facts as you see them.
Thank you
Posted by: Lee from Wagener Terrace at November 25, 2005 11:25 PM
I would also like to hear Mr. Thompson's "facts." With only the newspaper and this site to judge this situation by, it certainly seems that Ms. Fortenberry and the good Mayor were tangibly motivated to protect this unfortunate decision. What could that motivation have been? I certainly hope that Bob George remains on city council to represent James Islanders and highlight peninsula misdeeds.

Iberostar Delivers 5+++ Star Luxury In The Dominican Republic
The next time you're craving a luxury Caribbean vacation where you'll be shamelessly pampered and treated like a celebrity (all for a reasonable price of course), look no further than the all-inclusive Iberostar Grand Bávaro in Punta Cana, DR. Just when we all thought the development of ultra luxury properties was on the wane, Iberostar Resorts does it again! The Iberostar Grand Hotel Bávaro in the Dominican Republic is a hands-down winner for delivering upscale indulgences coupled with a stunning setting and memorable service.
Linda's Just Back Trip Report: (You may remember my article on the Iberostar Grand in Jamaica, well the good folks at Iberostar invited me to experience the newly opened Iberostar Grand in Punta Cana – WOW what a resort! From the moment we arrived and walked through the entrance, I was in awe.
Picture magnificent artwork, sculpture and a view that lets you know you are about to be treated like royalty. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be pampered, wined, dined, and have every earthly wish granted? I AM NOT KIDDING! I was all smiles as Juan escorted us to our room, where a quick look to the right produced a heart stopping view of water and a magnificent ship (yes, a real ship) that sits shimmering in a lagoon, serving as a festive bar. Beyond the ship were meandering pools (yes pools plural) with strategically positioned cabanas for sun bathing. As Juan opened the door to our spacious suite, the balcony delivered a view that was like an adult Disney fantasy.
Just like a genie in a Disney movie, Pastor, our personal butler appeared, with the most welcoming smile I have ever seen. Blinking my eyes, I heard those famous words, "Your wish is my command"! As he gave us a tour of our suite, his warm and welcoming personality left me wanting to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. The only thing missing was the magic lamp – but the telephone worked just as well. When the television was not working correctly-Pastor appeared and fixed it. He was always smiling and had a great sense of humor. "We are here 24 hours for anything you need," were always his parting words. Too bad I could not bring Pastor home, but his smile will be with me forever. It took us a few days and reminders from Pastor to realize how wonderful this service could be. I soon learned you could have wine and popcorn as a bedtime snack, and load the in-room bar with any beverage you can think of. By the third day, we enjoyed ordering a snack before dinner – the smoked salmon was addictive, and other guests ordered ice cream sundaes as a late night treat. But the all time best request was a special Jacuzzi presentation complete with flowers, candles, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, all prepared and awaiting your return at evenings end.
Dining At The Resort: Iberostar resorts excel in their cuisine. 5 featured restaurants, Gourmet, Mediterranean, Italian, Surf &Turf, and Japanese tempt you to dine. And If that isn't enough, there is also a buffet for breakfast and a casual poolside restaurant for lunch. One meal was more spectacular than the next. My personal favorites were the mouth-watering lobster risotto and Dorado cooked in salt – each meal was a treat. In addition, guests of the Grand Bavaro can dine in any of the other three Iberostar properties. The service and presentation were truly 5 star level. If you want something special-you've got it, just ask. Even the buffets offered artful displays of fresh salads, grilled lobster and beef delights.
Resort Activities: Let's be honest, most of us go on vacation to simply relax. You can lounge to your heart's content by the magnificent pools or along the wide sugar soft white sand beach. And once you're all rested up, there's a wide variety of water sports awaiting; snorkeling, diving, ocean kayaking, Hoby craft, etc. There are activities all day long as well; water-exercises, yoga, chess with pieces 3 feet tall, archery, tennis, and let's not forget golf (more about that later). Phew, I think its back to those lovely beach cabanas for me!
Need a little more relaxation-how about a Spa treatment? Here are just a few treatments they are famous for:
- Couples Wine Ritual-wine scrub, wine wrap, wine soak (you have drink wine while soaking) followed by a massage and you know wine is anti-aging
- Couples Chocolate Ritual- you guessed it-all chocolate
- Shell massage – special shells are used to melt your muscles into the ocean.
As our readers know, Spa's are my thing. I would classify this as a resort with wonderful spa services rather than a true spa destination. The imaginative treatments and the expertise of their therapists set them a step above many properties. Both Rosie and Esmeralda were incredibly skilled at making those muscles roll over and relax. Their hands move over the body like blades on the ice. We chose the 2 ½ hour Wine Ritual and I can honestly say I felt years younger or maybe all the de-stressing relaxed every wrinkle on my body.
Still need more? Let's talk Golf . Guests of the resort receive one free round per person with a 3 or 4 night stay, and 2 free rounds with a 7 day vacation. While I was pampered at the spa, Stewart took to the links for an up-close inspection. Iberostar's 18-hole golf course has some of the most amazing holes in the Caribbean. While there, we met Steven Hahn of The 19th Hole Magazine, who declared it to be "A resort golf course suited for all levels of golfers". "The front 9 are fine, but the back 9 are some of the most challenging holes in all of the Caribbean," said Steve. Another guest of the hotel said, "The beautiful boulder-filled lake on 16 is by far the most spectacular hole in the Caribbean." The one thing Stewart advises is "Bring lots of golf balls, you will need them".
Nightly Entertainment: The on-site theatre has entertainment every night featuring Rio Dominican, complete with audience participation. The entertainers perform Dominican songs and dances, which express the island life. Don't be surprised if you are welcomed by Cisa – she is a personal ambassador of fun. There are also a variety bands which play in the lobby bar, or perhaps it's time to be off for some drinking and dancing aboard the replica Spanish sailing ship!
My Tips: If you think I am describing a vacation heaven-you are correct – but there are a few additional tips that will be helpful:
- The Grand Bavaro is an adults only resort. If you will be traveling as a family, there are three other Iberostar properties on Bavaro Beach that will entertain the whole group.
- You may use the facilities and restaurants at the other Iberostar resorts, but the other resorts cannot use the facilities of the Grand Bavaro resort.
- A major plus are the complementary rounds of Golf – this is truly an all-inclusive resort!
- The staff is there to make your stay memorable. They go out of their way to be sure you are having a wonderful vacation, so don't be timid about asking for a special request – hint, hint, is this an anniversary or birthday celebration?
- Oh, yes- there's a great pillow menu- give it a try
- It's helpful to practice up on your traveler's Spanish before heading to the Dominican Republic.
As you head to your room at the end of the evening, there will not only be a turn down service and chocolate waiting, but a surprise towel sculpture with flowers to welcome you back. We spent four days at this amazing paradise, but felt we had been away for a week. So if you can only squeeze out a long weekend escape, the Iberostar Grand Bavaro should be your choice for the most relaxing and restful experience of your life. Indulge in a full week's stay and you'll feel like royalty -and of course, YOU DESERVE IT!

Gambling refers to place a bet on a particular subject with an intent of winning additional money or any other material. Gambling is all about chance of winning or losing. A person is said to be a gambler when he/she is wagering money or belongings with an intent of winning additional money or material. Although luck plays a major role but winning is mostly decided by chances.
Major Gambling games are:-
- Casino games
- Bingo
- Slot machines
- Lottery tickets
- Scratch tickets
- Betting on horse racing
- Betting on skill based games such as cricket,football etc.
- Internet Gambling
Reasons to Gamble:-
- To win money
- To socialize
- Excitement
- As a pass time
These reasons turns their cause of joining to their addiction. This addiction is as same as addiction of Drugs and Alcohol. Results of gambling addiction are:-
- Financial Consequences
- Reduces self confidence
- Increases criminal activity
- Person Alienate himself from friends and family
- Mental instability
- Answer to the above question is that behavior does not occur without certain thoughts. The thoughts that makes an individual to gamble possess some basic ideas such as
- They have some special talent and this will help them to be a millionaire in one night.
- They have exceptional amount of luck which will help them to win a lot.
- They thinks that if they play a particular game long enough it has to PAYOUT.
- They deserve to win because they have invested so much time, money and effort.
But the fact is that all these feelings and ideas are merely their delusions. Another interesting fact is that all gambling machines are based on the fact that small wins will occur number of times but big wins will occur only for few times. These machines are designed to make money for the owners not for the public. A single poker machine has to be played for twenty years at least eight hours a day to fulfill the thinking that the machine will payout if it is played for long time. Given below are the steps to prevent over-playing of gambling.
- Relaxation training
- Hypnosis
- Personality assessment
- Behavior modification
- Thought blocking

Giving an existing building a new function and to renovate it where new function fits seamlessly with the heritage of the building is always a huge challenge for all parties involved. Especially, when a building has a long history and new function of the building is very prestigious. Everything is possible though, if the right people meet at the right place and at the right time. This was exactly the case with the completely renovated Kepes Center in Eger that was reopened in March 2012 and is now operated by the "Foundation for a Complex Cultural Research".
A pharmacist, Jozsef Spetz acquired the 100-year-old building in 1802 and ten years later he expanded it with a candy-factory, pharmacy, café and a theater hall, but due to a fire the house was seriously damaged in 1833. Shortly afterwards a local Casino company rented the house and it bought the location in 1878. Until the end of 2nd World War the building functioned as a casino and afterwards it served as the headquarters for local unions. In the early 1980s the house was a local youth center and was called 'Youth House'. During all these years every tenant added something more to the building to accommodate respective functional needs that did not necessarily served aesthetic aspects.
In 2010 Judith Botos architect was asked to redesign the building that was appointed to be the new home to the Hungarian scientist and university professor György Kepesi's legacy as well as to be a center for art and cultural events and exhibitions in Eger. Judith Botos has carefully analyzed György Kepesi's spirit and his way of thinking, and tried to combine it with the new function of the building and its construction. The architect and her team wanted to eliminate everything in and on the building that seemed redundant or did not serve the new function.
Final result of Judith Botos' work is a beautiful house that unites past, present and future. Iconic, original, classical structural elements are now clearly visible and they seamlessly merge with modern details. The building has a very fresh and easy atmosphere that can accommodate different types of cultural events as well as be a respectable home to György Kepes' legacy. Wall colors and a unique mix of natural light and electric lighting accentuate the beautiful architectural elements of this building. At the same time it gives the necessary space to various exhibitions and lets exhibited objects be the center of attention.
Judith Botos is specifically proud of the fact that this special project was executed exactly the way it was planned and to the satisfaction of all involved parties. This was only possible, because Judith and her team had the support they needed from all sides – at all times.
What a beautiful happy end of a building that has seen a lot.

On Tuesday we went to Grand Rapids for a missionary party. It was really really fun. There were games, and lots about 100 missionaries there. For lunch we went with the Spanish Elders and went to this delicious Chinese buffet. After lunch we went back and had some more fun. After that on our way back to Paw Paw we stopped at a family that E. Benitez knew and had dinner with them.
On Wednesday CHRISTMAS EVE, we had lunch at SUBWAY thanks to a gift card from that family that E. Benitez took us to. Then that night we went to the Walkers and had Christmas eve with them. It was really fun the Ortons and the Marshalls were also there. We played games and read a book called "My boy Jesus". After that we came back to the apt.
On Christmas eve I spent a lot of time thinking about my family and what they were doing. I was getting so excited to talk to them on Christmas. I was also thinking how time is such an interesting thing. How fast and slow it seems to go at the same time. It seems like just yesterday I was enjoying my last Christmas at home, now it is already a year later and I am in Michigan. Crazy.
Christmas arrived. And Santa did in fact come. That morning I called my family at 0630. I woke them up and had a prayer with them. Then me and E. Benitez had our own little michiganary Christmas. Then I called my family again. It was incredible to hear their voices. I loved every second of the conversations that we had throughout Christmas day. Even the moments when there was just silence, it was just nice to know that they were on the other end of the line. We had lunch at the Szekely's and they gave a gift of the standard works pocket sized and a calendar. Then we went and had dinner with the Dangers. Both places had fantastic food. The Dangers also gave us each a gift they gave me a Minneapolis PD K9 Crown Victoria and a STAR WARS mug. We are extremely blessed here to have members like these folks that treat us super good. Then we went to the Szekely's, right as we walked in sis. Szekely said " I think that STAR WARS is approved." I agreed with her. And she put on STAR WARS Ep. IV A New Hope. It had almost been a year since I had seen that life changing film. I loved every second of it. Then that night the Hambrights dropped by the apt. and brought us a gift as well. It was a stormtrooper tin and a Stuffed Ewok. The members here are really some of the best. I was able to talk to my family one last time. It was great.
And as quick as it came, it went, as it always does. Friday we were Christmas hungover. I missed my family.
Saturday we door knocked a bit.
Sunday was good, we had a excellent sacrament meeting. Then we went out and had a pretty good time door knocking. We came across a super friendly English mastiff, I could ride that thing. We had breakfast for dinner with the Szekelys.
It was a good week.
I hope you all had a very Merry CHRISTmas. Remember to keep Christ at the center of the things you do.

As a coach is it harder to control you actions or reactions? I remember coaching a baseball game at a prominent baseball complex in the East Cobb area of Atlanta several years ago in a game that became very much out of control. I was the assistant coach coaching first base with our head coach on third base. Our head coach had been giving the umpires grief all night and was out of line. As the game was coming to an end, the base umpire missed a call at first base because he was out of position, I made a comment and without any warning he tossed me from the park. I was later told that he was tired of being "worked" so no grace was issued, he had gotten me mixed up with our head coach. I was stunned and embarrassed all at the same time. I later went and apologized to both the umpire, our ball team and fans. When I entered the park that evening we had a game plan and it was so much easier to control the game plan than to control what happened that evening that we did not have planned. God teaches us in His word to control our tongue and teaches that it can be such a harm to our witness. I believe Coaches especially fight this as they are put into the heat of battle. Do not be caught up in the theory that competition covers what we say and how we act.
This leads me to my next question: Are you a Christian Coach or a Coach who is a Christian? This question can be asked of any profession or any hat you wear in life. Is there a difference, and if so what is it?
Don't ever forget people are watching you, even when you do not realize it. It CAN make an eternal difference. If your life has been changed because you noticed someone was different and they shared their life changing story with you, please share by commenting. Continue coaching the heart of your athletes as well as their bodies and mind.

Last week on Wednesday, Toronto was THE place to be.
And that's putting it mildly.
Not one. Not two, not even three. But FIVE of our sports teams were playing during the same evening. CityNews dubbed it "arguably the biggest night in Toronto sports history."
The Raptors were playing Game 5 against the Washington Wizards at the ACC.
The Leafs were taking on the Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Toronto FC were in their CONCACAF champions league final.
Blue Jays fans cheered their team on against division rivals the Red Sox.
And, in case there wasn't enough stress around hockey already, the Toronto Marlies were also in round one of their playoff series.
We've never seen a night like tomorrow in Toronto.— Toronto Raptors (@Raptors) April 25, 2018
Raptors Game 5@MapleLeafs Game 7@torontofc CCL Final
Maple Leaf Square will be massive - so our Tailgate will be even bigger. A 3-game viewing party for the world's city. Gates open 5PM.#WeTheNorth | #TeamToronto pic.twitter.com/F90jA29z2r
Sadly, only The Raptors and Toronto FC were victorious (Leafs fans, our condolences – we know that was a hard loss). While this may all seem completely irrelevant from branding, marketing, or any other kind of business other than sports, it's not.
That fateful night at Maple Leaf Square/Jurassic Park saw a massive fan tailgate party. Or in other words, a level of brand affinity like we've never seen.
This is what captured our minutes. Here's why:
Toronto sports teams GET loyalty.
Other than being a huge spectacle for these major Toronto sports fans (may we recommend simply shutting down the city next time something like this happens?), this was such a huge night because of the level of meaningfulness it reached.
And isn't that what every brand looks for? It's one thing to have brand awareness (probably every Torontonian has heard of at least one of these teams).
It's totally different when it comes to really connecting with audiences.
Let's break this down.
Toronto sports teams bring together strangers and unite them for one common goal: you may tailgate with friends, but you'll inevitably end up connecting with other fans too. This is what the teams want! The teams even shout out each other routinely on social media. When these fans start to connect, their power together is virtually unbreakable. Much more than a small boost to brand mentions, tags, views, etc.
These strangers then pour out their emotions to each other: Going all the way to Game 7 only to be eliminated when the third period comes along? It stung. It burned. It hurt bad. What are those feelings? They're emotions. Raw and real feelings that are the very link that keep bringing these fans back to their favourite sports teams.
Those emotions strengthen the relationship between fans and team (or, in common terms, audiences and brands): Like what we said above, its these emotions that keep the love alive between fans and teams. Why? Because emotions are an opportunity for people to open up on more than a transactional level. Emotions are long-term.
That relationship is then sealed in a sea of blues, whites, reds, blacks, golds, silvers and even some purple (if you're retro like that): want a metric to measure? Here's your reach, embodied in fans that have proudly donned jerseys.
Put this all together and one has all the right ingredients for a long-term relationship, across seasons, team roster shake-ups, rebrands and the like.
At the end of the day, people don't just want to be sold to. They want something more. Just like how fans don't want their teams to see them as another number in a seat. Instead, people want to be inspired to feel – for better or worse.
That's the true core of brand affinity.
Big ups to the teams still making it through playoffs season, or even the beginning of their respective seasons. To the others, we've still got your back.
At the end of the day, people engage with content by lending their minutes. Content is successful when its battery is fully charged with attention.

MetroStudio was one of six firms selected through an open global completion to design a sustainable, carbon neutral, mixed use development for the storm ravaged Holy Cross District of New Orleans. The design solution created by MetroStudio integrated residential, commercial and institutional programs into a sustainable design that would prove to be socially and economically viable.
Key to the design process was the thoughtful consideration and utilization of proven building design characteristics that are evidenced in the unique architectural heritage of the region. This thorough study, of the performative characteristics of structures, created in the past two centuries of settlement in New Orleans allowed the design to not only respond to the local site
ecology; but to root itself in the history, culture, and fabric of the community. The combination of modern technology and innovative vernacular strategies guided the entire development of the project.
The design employed several sustainable features including: solar hot water generation, grey water reclamation, PV paneling, Solar screening and a closed loop ground coupled heat pump. Energy modeling for the proposed design showed a 90% reduction in energy consumption from carbon generating sources and a 95% reduction in energy costs to the development's inhabitants.

Bands rerecording their earlier work
Inspired by the new Tindersticks album, let's have examples of bands rerecording their old stuff, as well as telling us which bands you'd like to do this.
I can't think of too many examples other than Kraftwerk's "The Mix", Sigur Ros' "Hvarf/Heim", and New Order rerecording Temptation & Confusion for the "Substance" album after the original master tapes were lost.
As for my wishlist, it would be interesting to hear the gruffer, older Tom Waits rerecording Nighthawks at the Diner, complete with live audience.
I can't think of an example where a re-recording is preferable to the original.
I think it's a waste of time.
That re-record of wherever is horrid!
Really over produced. I wish all Mew songs could have the production from And the Glass Handed Kites. Same way I wish all Idlewild songs were recorded in the 100BW sessions, just for that cold atmosphere they managed to capture on tape
Everclear's Greatest Hits
Band is successful, all band members with equal songwriting credits on releases.
All members bar the singer leave band.
Singer carries on going, gets sad that audience gets smaller and smaller
Re-records most successful songs with new band and calls it "Greatest Hits" despite struggling to hit notes that once came with ease.
Confusion ensues.
- ma0sm this'd this
Mark Eitzel - The Ugly American
American Music Club classics re-recorded with Greek musicians ... results are varied and I certainly wouldn't say they trump the originals, but enjoyable in its own right and definitely worth a listenandrew_wolfpack this'd this
rerecording songs from the Desert Sessions for their albums worked pretty well – they developed them enough and made them fit with the albums so much that both versions are usually just as good in their own ways.
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy sings Greatest Palace Music
is another example of re-recordings with a different band that take the songs in different directions. It's great
Yeah forgot this one
Brilliant example.
The worst example I can think of
is the second disc of that Frank Black Francis album where he 'reimagines' pixies songs with weird electronics and brass. The Holiday Song was alright but generally they were awful.
listening to this now
love it
Suicidal Tendencies rerecord their s/t
Note for note, yet doesn't sound as fresh or exciting as the original still does. And if Mike Muir wasn't about twice as high and wide as me I'd tell him too.
gang of four did this
because they dont get much money from people buying Entertainment! any more and because they (idiotically) think they made it sound better.
i think it's a perfectly good idea, though
Artery did a weird version of this and I don't know why
They were basically a post-punk band and rerecorded a load of their stuff in an upbeat, seaside style. It's...interesting.
Chas & Dave do some on their new album
There are a number of live album greatest hits that try to get people to by an acoustic live version of songs that you have already. e.g. unplugged
Kraftwerk unplugged
would be interesting.

Mr. Adrian
left in April 08... :( we will miss him.. The BEST maths teacher I HAVE EVER HAD!
Mr Adrian has the most boring voice in the entire world. When I sit in his classes sometimes I find myself falling asleep. But as others have said, he's a very good teacher, and when I'm wide awake and actually trying to focus on the words he's saying, I sometimes learn stuff. Mis Skinner was better though, and I was very disappointed to see her leave, and for us to get such a boring teacher with no personality, expression, humour or a smile.
He explains everything very clearly.. A very good teacher hehe
Mr adrian is awesome. He is also a brilliant soccer player.He has got some silky skills and his teaching is second to none.
Mr Adrien is the best Maths teacher i have ever had. He is wicked. Booyakasha

Land Transaction Tax is payable by the purchaser in a land transaction which occurs in Wales. At Akshar & Co, we can provide guidance on Land Transaction Tax in the Harrow area.
From 1 April 2018, a new Land Transaction Tax (LTT) replaces Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in Wales. LTT is broadly consistent with SDLT, but also introduces some key changes. Here, we outline these.
LTT is payable by the purchaser of residential or non-residential property in a land transaction occurring in Wales from 1 April 2018. For land transactions prior to 1 April 2018 see our factsheet on SDLT.
A transaction will trigger liability to LTT if it involves the acquisition of an interest in land. This will include a simple conveyance of land, such as buying a house, creating a lease or assigning a lease.
LTT is operated by the WRA, and individuals who are liable to the tax must complete and submit an LTT return (see later).
Individuals must send an LTT return and pay the tax due to the WRA within 30 days of the day after completion (or other effective date of the transaction). Penalties and interest may be charged if you fail to file your LTT return or pay the necessary tax within the 30 days after the day of completion.
In some circumstances, buyers are not required to send a LTT return or pay LTT. These include instances where:
For cross-border cases, a home buyer will only be required to pay SDLT on the English part of the transaction. An individual may have to also pay LTT to the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) for the Welsh part of the transaction.
During the 2018/19 Welsh Draft Budget, Finance Secretary for Wales, Mark Drakeford, outlined new LTT rates, which take effect from 1 April 2018.
Unlike SDLT, LTT does not provide any relief for first-time homebuyers in Wales.
However, during the Welsh government's 2018/19 Draft Budget, Finance Secretary for Wales, Mark Drakeford, announced an increase in the starting threshold for LTT from £150,000 to £180,000, effective from April 2018. Mr Drakeford stated that the increase in the starting threshold will help to 'reduce the tax burden for around 24,000 homebuyers' in Wales.
The Welsh government anticipates that, under LTT, around 80% of first-time homebuyers will pay no tax.
If contracts were entered into after 22 November for the purchase of property in Wales, the following conditions will apply:

The Voelker House – Waterloo
Ontario Cottage – Stone
Ontario Cottage – Gothic Influence
The Ontario Cottage is a style of house that was commonly built in the 19th century in Ontario, Canada. The typical cottage has one-and-a-half storeys and large windows. The most distinctive feature of the Ontario Cottage is the single gable above the door in the centre of the building.
By the second half of the 19th century Gothic had become a popular architectural style in Canada. Many Ontario Cottages built during this era added Gothic ornamentation, most often added to the gable. Usually a rectangular structure, many have incorporated additions over the years.
You can usually see many Ontario Cottages in rural and small town areas, however, a select few can be spotted in the downtown/uptown core of Kitchener and Waterloo.
One example of the gothic style is located in Waterloo, the Voelker House. This house originally stood on 300 acres of land and was built by Barnabas Devitt (former owner of Erb-Kumpf House) in 1849. The Voelkers bought the home in 1940 and Dr. Philip Voelker had his practice in the house. The house received one of Waterloo's first heritage designations in 1977. The home features turned porch posts, a gothic window in the gable, the two bay windows, paneled front door and bargeboard trim. The Voelker's were known for the tradition of decorating a Christmas Tree and placing it on the roof of the front porch underneath the gabled window. Neighbours would gather and watch and enjoy a pre-Christmas celebration.
I have recently shown a number of Ontario Cottage style homes, and have fallen in love with their functional charming design.

Wet Ecstasy is available in both water-based and paraben-free silicone-based formulas, the company said.
"Wet Ecstasy's cooling formula features a hint of peppermint extract, which is also commonly used in aromatherapy to stimulate the brain, providing extra excitement for both the body and the mind," Trigg Laboratories founder Michael Trygstad said. "We're thrilled to introduce this new formula, which also features a unique aphrodisiac herbal blend to increase arousal and stamina."
According to the company, Wet Ecstasy's aphrodisiac herbal blend includes Muira Puama, an extract from the Brazilian Amazon said to increase sexual stamina, and Mexican Damiana, an herbal extract that has been used in Mexico as an "herbal Viagra" for centuries.
It also features ginger root extract to stimulate the circulatory system and increase blood flow to the surface of the skin, as well as passion flower and ginkgo biloba extracts to soothe skin irritation.
Wet Ecstasy comes in both water-based and silicon-based formulas, both of which are pH-balanced and latex-friendly. The water-based formula is available in 3.6 oz. and 10.6 oz. bottles and the paraben-free silicone-based formula is available in 3.1 oz. and 8.9 oz. bottles.
The product will be available in November. For sales, call (661) 775-3100, or email email@example.com.
