PATTERNS created by squares, rectangles, triangles and, in one case, even spheres of milk were captured this week as camera club members took on our 'geometric' theme.
Both the natural world and manmade structures proved fertile ground for producing impressive submissions.
Wildlife featured in many snaps, with an image of the distinctive hexagonal inside of a bee hive taken by Shez McKechnie one of our stand outs.
We also enjoyed Denise Gurden's photograph of a glittering spider's web built between fence posts.
One of the most recognisable geometric examples in nature, meanwhile, was captured in Marian Payne's shot of a shell.
She said: "This belonged to my father and nobody was ever allowed to touch it.
"Felt funny holding it today, but it went straight back in its box."
Architecture also makes ample use of geometry and this was highlighted by many.
We especially liked a shot of a Brutalist concrete car park in London, currently being demolished to make way for a hotel, which was taken by Darrell Godliman.
We also enjoyed another image by Shez McKechnie, this time of a stunning sunset seen through the spokes of a wheel.
Many people submitted shots of pylons and one of our favourites was a black and white photograph by Graham Davies. The high contrast helping the bold lines of the structure stand out.
One of our favourite entries overall was a frozen moment of milk creating a geometric pattern of circular droplets as it splashes.
Sharing what went into producing the eye-catching shot on the Oxford Mail Camera Club page he wrote: "I haven't done this for a while but the subject came up at the camera club and I did a talk on it.
"Got me fired up again to have another go - so last weekend and 3000 shots later..."
Bryan Robertson commented: "Super shot Peter, a natural geometric shot which can never be repeated exactly."
Next week's theme is 'trees'.
Join our Camera Club – which now has more than 1,100 members online by searching Facebook for Oxford Mail Camera Club.
This week's winning shot will appear in tomorrow's paper.
Happy snapping!

Brighton, the home of The Kooks, typical British stone beaches, LGBT communities and fresh new musical talent. I sit in Stanmer Park in Brighton, with the now autumnal crunchy leaves blowing at my feet, a tiny breeze as I wait for the – not so punctual – Toby Hollingsworth to arrive. It's bright though and it's a lovely day so waiting for our alt-pop dream isn't too shabby. "Oh my god, I am so sorry, I lost track of time at the library." I see a lanky 18-year-old sprinting over to the steel bench I was making a dent on – his hair flapping about in the breeze and his gleaming blue eyes glowing in the sunshine. Before I know it, an evolving superstar is sitting next to me. After getting him to introduce himself properly to me as a "shy boy and originally from Portsmouth", we got stuck right in and talked about his new and upcoming debut single. "It's about a girl. But not an actual girl. If that makes sense?" Sort of, Toby! I took a little listen and 'Imperfect Daydream' is in fact a dream. I told him it was and he shifted on his bum, staring at me in disbelief, looking at me as if I was not being serious about his music. In the first few minutes I learnt that he was a pensive person and it's shown in his song writing. "Lots of people have had a huge input to this without even realising it. Do you know how you get certain personality traits off your friends and from different people? It's a bit like that." You could tell he loved his friends and the people around him, he spoke about them with passion and devotion, they are his inspiration for his first ever single.
You get to know someone a lot by who their musical influences are and Toby's influences are mixed and quite surprising, "I'd love to collaborate with Frank Ocean if I was lucky enough and got to a point in my career where it would be acceptable." He also likes John Mayer who is an American singer and song writer. Aspects of his influences are laced throughout his debut single and carry the piece perfectly. "I admire them and look up to them as artists," talking about music with Toby is like a breath of fresh air. He wants to do this for the rest of his life, his eyes light up when he talks about it and he'd prefer "music, straight up" to his difficult and very academic degree of Chemistry. Sounds boring, right? I have to ask him the most important question, a question that anyone wants to hear. "Which Gallagher is your favourite?" because we all have a favourite and it has to be Liam. I hope Toby pulls this one out of the bag and tells me what I want to hear! "Noel Gallagher's a bit of a dick, he's boring compared to Liam"…What about the music though, Toby? "Noel's music is too forced, Liam's new album is spectacular, it's just class isn't it?" We agree!
Meeting the alt-pop dream Toby Hollingsworth was a pleasure, his passion radiates onto me as I leave the interview, getting a hug first of course. I leave feeling clear about what type of artist he is going to be, what he wants and a positive feeling that he will make it. He has big aspirations and large goals. Drive and motivation is key, just ask Toby.

8 Ideal Tips On Home Gardening For Beginners
The time now calls for a new beginning of urbanism! Food gardening was looked on as a hobby mostly for the country bumpkins and elderly people.
Today, the concept of gardening with growing fruits and veggies, herbs and others have become a quite well-known widely accepted task. Gardening has now grown drastically among other age criteria's and urbaners.
The saving which is made by having your own food garden and growing your own food is the contributing factor behind the popularity of gardening.
People have accepted that the quality of food enjoyed from growing one of your own is a lot more beneficial than the one you get from the market.
To your refrigerator as well as on your finances, gardening can bring about a real difference. So, let us share some great ideas for gardening:
1. Know your surroundings
It has been noticed many times that people choose a spot almost randomly and start to plant trees and shrubs.
What all is left here is to wait for the food to grow. Gardeners should never ignore the fact that plants always have some preference which would help them to grow.
You need to very well make an analysis of your location and make sure you know which plants need to be grown. This analysis should be done all beforehand when you plan on starting a home garden.
2. Making a proper assessment of sunlight and the shade
Before you are deciding where to and where not to plant, you need to determine how much exposure you are giving to your plant?
As seen many plants which bear food prefers to have almost 6 and 10 hours of sun exposure each day.
There are even plants especially the crops for citrus trees needs to care properly in prolonged and more sunlight.
You also need to create a shade for some edible plants which are smaller in size and often produce less.
When you are deciding to plant them in shady areas you need to make sure that the shade is cleaned properly.
Many times, these shades are usually covered with mess and useless thrown away items are kept underneath.
So, you need to hire professional waste removalists as rubbish removal sydney to clean away the mess and then only plant those shrubs.
3. Using better strategies for planning
The time now calls in for your planting strategies. Here you can easily go for the container gardening.
In many ways, container gardening is much easier than in-ground gardening where a lot of preparing is required on the soil.
The use of pots will simply suffice here and you need not have to prepare the soil for planting. This way you can avoid greater issues such as:
- The lack of proper sunlight
- Lesser water restrictions with no availability issues.
- You will not face any issues related to soil
- There are no physical challenges involved here.
- It is not a time-consuming affair.
4. Proper reduction in your gardening cost
There are gardeners who get no returns for the amount of efficiency and toil they have put into gardening.
There are times when the gardeners are at a complete loss. You need to have a proper focus on areas in spending proper on gardening to stay away from that crowd.
- You need to avoid things which you no longer require
- Putting quality under high priority
- Creating inexpensive options which you can store
- You need to have efficient watering plans
5. Involving in Smart Harvesting
It calls in for a high amount of care and great skills to provide greater protection to your plants to attain maximum harvest. Though this mission seems always as the one completed.
You need to have the exact information on the plant which you are trying to harvest. This will allow you to know when the plant is ready completely.
6. Bringing about reduction in food waste
During the harvest season, there are gardeners who tend to grow the higher amount of food that what they would consume later on.
You are bringing about a downfall in your financial return when you are allowing your food to turn to be wasted. You should also make sure that you do not have too much of the same crop to avoid it to go to waste.
7. Why not extend your planting season?
It is noted that the period between April and the end of October is the one where maximum gardening takes place according to some statistical reports. If you love gardening and are highly drawn towards it then you can also opt for year-round gardening.
8. Preparing for a new reap season
There is no particular growing season where you can opt for your gardening work.
You need to uproot the weeds and other plants which are dried off or dead to expose any diseases and other insects which can harm your production.
In addition to this all, You also need to spread out a layer of organic chemicals which are most likely medicine for your crops.

Just what is Anglo American culture? Is the much-vaunted "special relationship" still valid and valued, or is it merely wishful thinking on both sides of the Atlantic? A feeble delusional myth or a tangible and vital alliance between two nations with similar aspirations and values? Studying popular contemporary poster propaganda can give us as much of an insight as the most complex history texts.
The " Special Relationship" 1939 -Cold War
The end of World War I saw the destruction of four European Empires. It also ushered in the political and economic ascendancy of the United States. Nominally the British Empire had survived. But it was also bankrupt. Every subsequent British Government made a cardinal principle of its foreign-policy to "cultivate the closest relations with the United States." As a result, Britain decided not to renew its military alliance with Japan, which was becoming a significant rival to the United States in the Pacific. Though the US refused to join the League of Nations, its absence made little difference to British policy.
Tensions over Ireland
Though relationships during the interwar years were mostly cordial and constructive, they were near derailed during the "Irish Independence" crisis. There was a definite "anti-British" contingent in America centred around Boston championed by prominent American politicians. However, tensions over the Irish question faded with the independence of the Irish Free State in 1922. The American Irish had achieved their goal, and in 1938 its leader Joseph P. Kennedy actually became ambassador to the Court of St. James's.
World War II
American attitudes to Britain at the outbreak of the war were ambivalent. Persisting with the "Monore Doctrine" she regarded it as a European, not an American war and though many were sympathetic to the plight of Britain, sought strict neutrality. This attitude was gradually eroded by a sophisticated pro-British propaganda campaign. Popular NBC broadcaster Ed Murrow and organisations such as the "The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies" endeavoured to demonstrate that this was America's conflict, not just Britians.
Formed in May 1940 by William Allen White of the Kansas City Emporia Gazette, the National Committee headquarters operated out New York City. Its branches however stretched over all America. The Committee kept in touch with its membership through printed newsletters, flyers, pamphlets and newspaper advertisements, as well as through radio spots and rallies. It undoubtedly produced some of the most exceptional propaganda posters of the war years.
"Bundles for Britain"
Gradually public opinion changed. Running alongside the" Committee to Defend America" was a more populist movement the" Bundles for Britain" campaign.
In 1940 Mrs Winston Churchill asked all English women to knit garments for the British sailors fighting in the North Sea. Mrs Wales Latham, a New York Society Matron responded to this request in America and started a circle of women who began to knit items for these sailors. This endeavour was such a success; the realm of knitting grew into a more significant more political movement.
Millions of Americans purchased Pro-British souvenier products, including matchbooks, pins, compacts, cigarette cases, plates, brooches.
Backed by numerous Hollywood celebrities, the campaign took hold of popular sentiment. Together these two organisations completely changed America's attitude to the conflict well before Pearl Harbour.
The posters these Pro British organisations produced were not afraid to shock or be controversial. The graphic art varied from almost childlike illustrations
Through to stunning and frightening realism. The "Bundles" campaign was so successful branches were set up all over America. It became a sophisticated and varied crusade embracing not just Poster Art but populist sheet music and advertisements too. Together it brought the plight of a blitzed out Britain to everyday Americans. The campaign also mobilised existing women's organisations like the "Daughters of the American Revolution" to present its pro-British propaganda. By 1940 It even had its own anthem "pick up your Knitting."
American support during the war
With America's entry into the war, the pseudo alliance became formal. But even before November 1941 American support was much more than mere propaganda. The "Destroyers for Bases Agreement" was signed in September 1940. This gave the United States a 99-year rent-free lease of numerous land and air bases throughout the British Empire. In exchange, the Royal Navy received 50 old destroyers from the United States Navy. Beginning in March 1941, the United States enacted Lend-Lease in the form of tanks, fighter aeroplanes, munitions, bullets, food, and medical supplies. Britain received $31.4 billion out of a total of $50.1 billion sent to the Allies.
Though this material support was vital to the UK, technical collaboration was even closer. The two nations shared secrets concerning the proximity fuze (fuse) and radar, as well as aeroplane engines, Nazi codes, and the atomic bomb.
Millions of American members of the armed forces were based in Britain during the war. Though this led to a certain amount of friction with British men, intermarriage with British women was commonplace. The two Nations were never this close again.
Cold War
In the aftermath of the war, Britain faced a financial crisis. In contrast, the United States was in the midst of an economic boom. The process of decolonisation accelerated with the independence Britain granted to India, Pakistan and Ceylon in 1947.
American foreign policy became a Global chess game with the Soviets. The need to form a united front against the Soviet threat compelled the US and Britain to cooperate in helping to shape NATO with their European allies. Only during the Suez crisis when French and British troops invaded Egypt over its nationalisation of the canal did the cold war partnership waver.
Suez Crisis
The Anglo-French invasion of the canal zone ended in disgrace after just eight days of fighting. Ostensibly the ceasefire was ordered by the United Nations, but was in fact, dictated by the Americans. The action threatened to destabilise the strategically vital region, and strengthen Soviet links with liberation movements around the world. It raised global tensions in an age dominated by the nuclear arms race and recurring superpower crises. More viscerally, it was viewed with by America with distaste as a nakedly imperial exercise in a post-imperial age. Britain backed down. Grudgingly. The golden age of Anglo American accord was over.
Still Special?
British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan famously quipped that it was Britain's historical duty to guide the power of the United States as the ancient Greeks had the Romans. He endeavoured to broaden the "special relationship" beyond Churchill's conception of an English-Speaking Union into a more inclusive "Atlantic Community". His principal theme was the interdependence of the nations of the Free World. It was one that Kennedy subsequently took up and one that, thankfully remains the dominant political spirit in both countries today.

651 Consonance of Soul and Body
Library of Heaven is Path Author:Heng Sao Tian Ya Vote(63) Comment
Chapter 651: Consonance of Soul and Body
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
The white-robed lady seemed to be unwilling to leave, but Zhang Xuan knew that there wasn't time to persuade her. Thus, he pulled her along forcefully.
The duo fell into the lake. Seeing the two of them enter the lake, the Snow Fox also came swimming over.
"Let's leave quickly. Otherwise, we'll surely die!"
Grabbing the Snow Fox with one hand and pulling the white-robed lady with the other, Zhang Xuan yelled anxiously as he swam to the depths of the lake.
He had examined the spirit beasts carefully and there were none that specialized in aqua combat. They would be much safer down here.
Furthermore, this lake was connected to a river. It was possible for them to escape from their pursuers through here.
Not too long after they swam down into the depths of the lake, a violent disturbance rippled from the top of the lake. There were a couple of spirit beasts who jumped into the lake to pursue them.
Knowing that there was no time to be lost, Zhang Xuan drove his zhenqi, and they picked up speed. Based on his memory, he swam in the direction where the river was at.
As Zhang Xuan expected, they were indeed much safer in the water. While there were some spirit beasts who chased them, he managed to ward them off with relative ease. Slowly, the number of spirit beasts decreased. After around two hours, they managed to shake off all of the spirit beasts. Only then did Zhang Xuan heave a sigh of relief and start swimming to the surface.
Holding his breath for two hours wasn't too hard for him given his current cultivation. Turning to look at the white-robed lady beside him, it seemed that the other party was fine as well.
Considering how the spirit beasts had to approach her so carefully, it was likely that her cultivation was on par with his.
As the beast and two humans emerged from the water, Zhang Xuan immediately scanned his surroundings. Only after confirming that there was no danger did he heave a sigh of relief.
"It's safe now…"
Zhang Xuan pulled the lady to the shore.
After swimming for two hours, they were now a considerable distance away from the waterfall. Given the various splits in the meandering river along the way, it would be hard for the spirit beasts to track them down.
However, it was best for them to be careful anyway. The other party did have aerial spirit beasts who specialized in scouting on their side.
"Let's find a safe spot, get some food, and dry our clothes!"
The three of them were looking rather unkempt after the long swim. Their clothes were sticking firmly to their skin. Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.
Knowing that Zhang Xuan had gone through so much to save her, the white-robed lady seemed much friendlier from before. Smiling, she nodded in agreement at his words.
There were several large caves dug out by the spirit beasts in Verdant Mountain. It didn't take too long for the duo to find an empty one.
Following which, they gathered a few dry branches and started a campfire. Only then did they feel their bodies warming up.
Even with cultivation levels such as theirs, swimming for two hours in the middle of winter was still no joke. The chill felt like a sharp dagger stabbing at their insides.
"I am Zhang Xuan! You are…"
After drying his clothes, Zhang Xuan took out a few pieces of dried jerky from his storage ring and offered them to the other party. Following which, he reverted his appearance and clasped his fist.
For some reason, this lady simply felt extremely familiar to him, as though he had known her all his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to save her.
With a faint smile, the lady shook her head. She took the jerky from Zhang Xuan's hands, tore off a small portion, and ate it. Her movements were extremely graceful and refined.
"You… can't speak?"
Realizing that the other party hadn't spoken a word since they met, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Until now, it seemed like the other party had been replying to his words with a smile.
The lady shook her head.
"Is it due to some kind of persisting illness or… do you need me to treat you? I am actually quite a capable physician!" Zhang Xuan said.
There were some who would lose their voice due to injury or cultivating incorrectly. However, it was still treatable as long as one had the correct treatment method.
Considering how he had read many books on medicine, and also had the Library of Heaven's Path to fall back on, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to treat the other party.
The white-robed lady shook her hands.
"Are you afraid that I can't cure you… or are you unwilling to be treated?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
The lady continued to shake her hands nonchalantly. It seemed as though she was already used to being in such a situation, and she didn't want to be treated.
"Since that's the case… I won't talk about it anymore then!"
Since the other party wasn't willing to be treated, Zhang Xuan couldn't possibly force his treatment on her.
For some reason, sitting beside this lady made him feel extremely calm, drawing him away from the material aspect of life.
Sitting silently, Zhang Xuan was searching for something, anything, to say when his face suddenly warped in pain. His entire body began shaking uncontrollably.
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
Even though his physical body had grown much stronger after the tempering from the earth flame and Cleansing Lake, it wasn't sufficient for him to fully adapt to his massive soul. Thus, he should have avoided overexerting himself while training his physical body for it to adapt to his soul.
Who knew that he would have met with this white-robed lady and end up overexerting himself? He didn't feel anything in the face of danger back then, but now that they were safe, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his soul as though someone had stabbed needles deep into it, and dizziness suddenly overwhelmed him.
Using the shoe measurements in his previous life, his current soul was size 45 while his physical body was size 42. While he could still slip in with some force, he would still be injured should he walk too much.
The current situation was as such.
Even though his body and soul were incompatible with one another, he might still have been fine if he hadn't overexerted himself. But he did, and now he had to tolerate an insufferable pain in his soul.
Honestly, Zhang Xuan wanted to leave a good impression on the other party by saving her, but such a situation happened instead. He couldn't help but feel a little stifled.
Zhang Xuan forcefully suppressed his soul to force it to adapt to his physical body. Who knew that the more he tried to do so, the more violent the backlash became? It was as if the side effect of forcefully stuffing his soul back into his body was coming back to bite him all at once.
With a roar, Zhang Xuan couldn't hold on any longer, and his soul began gushing out of his glabella.
It was the previous problem playing up again—an overly powerful soul for a relatively weak physical body. Unless he could raise the strength of his physical body, the two wouldn't be able to fuse together perfectly.
"It's over…"
Feeling that his soul was about to leave his body, Zhang Xuan heart turned cold.
Actually, if his soul were to leave his body, he would be able to avoid such pain… but if he were to allow it to occur now, it would be as good as telling the other party that he was a soul oracle, and this would be difficult to explain.
Even though the soul oracle occupation was a complete one, its heritage had already gone missing for many years, and it had officially been eradicated by the Master Teacher Pavilion a long time ago. In the view of most cultivators, they were a callous and mysterious existence.
If the other party were to learn that he had such a sinister occupation, the goodwill that he had built up with much difficulty would definitely disappear instantaneously.
What in the world was this? Of all the times for his condition to work up, it just had to be now…
How would the other party view him after this? Would she think that he was up to no good?
Just as Zhang Xuan was at a complete loss, the white-robed lady stood up and pressed on his glabella lightly.
Hu la!
The soul that was about to slip out of his body was suppressed in an instant, and it returned obediently back into his body.
At the same time, a unique energy flowed through his entire body, relieving it of the extreme pain it felt instantaneously.
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in shock.
This was a problem which had troubled him greatly, and yet the other party resolved it with a single pat. What was this?
Could it be that… the white-robed lady possessed a cultivation far higher than the Transcendent Mortal 8-dan Ye Wentian?
One must know that not even Ye Wentian could resolve the problem of his soul going missing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just placed Zhang Xuan on the stone table helplessly.
Doubtful, Zhang Xuan was just about to ask about the issue when a pang of exhaustion suddenly struck him. His vision darkened, and he gradually lost consciousness.
Amidst his sleep, he felt as though his soul and physical body were harmonizing once more, and the discomfort he felt previously gradually vanished…
Sometime later, he woke up.
Rubbing his eyes, Zhang Xuan sat up. Indeed, the incompatibility between his soul and physical body had vanished, and he felt much more relaxed than before.
"My physical body hasn't gotten any stronger, but my soul seemed to have undergone some kind of refinement. It has become much purer, making it easier to slip it into my body!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Even though his soul was still ten meters tall, it had become much more flexible, making it easier to enter his body and control it.
'I should give it a try!'
Closing his eyes, Zhang Xuan's soul swept through his body, and he could feel that every single muscle and cell was within his control. He could now perfectly move his entire body.
Even before the affair at the Cleansing Lake, he had never felt such precise control over his body before.
'This is… Perfect Consonance of Body and Soul?'
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled in excitement.
At Transcendent Mortal 5-dan, a cultivator would be able to harmonize his body and soul as one. This consonance would refine his control over his strength and body, allowing for more precise movements.
Rumor had it that if this consonance were to reach the level of perfection, one would be able to look inwardly into one's physical body and repair the damaged regions. One's body would be able to become as flawless as a piece of white jade.
However, even Transcendent Mortal 9-dan experts would be unable to reach such a realm. Only Saints would have a chance of accomplishing this… and yet, Zhang Xuan actually succeeded!
In the midst of Zhang Xuan's excitement, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he froze.
'But… if my soul and body are perfectly consonant, won't my soul be unable to leave my body?'
Typically, becoming a soul oracle meant abandoning one's natural body. As far as Zhang Xuan knew, no soul oracle had achieved a Perfect Consonance of Body and Soul before… If his soul and body were to be perfectly consonant while he was unconscious, would it mean that he had lost his ability as a soul oracle?
If that was the case, then there was nothing for him to be happy about!
Even taking the occupations from ancient times into account, the abilities of a soul oracle were one of the more practical and useful ones. For example, there would be no other occupation that would have allowed Zhang Xuan to absorb the spiritual energy from the Cleansing Lake earlier on.
Thus, Zhang Xuan quickly drove the Soul Guiding Formula. Fortunately, he realized that his soul could still part from his body and move freely.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Sending his soul back into his physical body, Zhang Xuan stood up and looked around the cave.
However, the cave was oddly silent. The campfire was already extinguished, and there was not a person to be seen. The white-robed lady whom he had saved previously had already disappeared without a trace.
"Lady?" Zhang Xuan yelled. He was just about to go out to look for the latter when he caught sight of a line of neatly written words on the stone wall not too far away.
'You have saved me once, and I have returned the favor. Thus, we are even now. There is still a long time ahead of us, so may we meet again in the future!'
"Meet again in the future?"
Zhang Xuan was dumbstruck. "She left?"

The benefits of using skylights
Studies have shown that people staying in rooms with natural light have a happier disposition compared to people staying in dark rooms with artificial light. Therefore, skylights are good for your health and mental well-being, and that's enough reason to buy skylight windows.
Skylights also provide natural lighting without using up electricity. This is perfect for the rainy or winter season when the sun isn't shining bright. During summer, it will also make a space look fresher and more alive. And, with the creation of solar panel skylights, you can store all that solar energy during the day.
Speaking of the rainy or winter season, installing a skylight in your home also doubles as a free heating system. The transparent skylight allows solar heat, albeit minimal, enter the room and provide heat during colder days. Fortunately, you can buy Velux windows online, so you can have it installed without having to step out of your house. See more here Velux skylight cost
How to get the most out of skylights
Since a skylight constantly allows heat and light into a room, it will also take up more power to cool that same room. Fortunately, there are skylight blinds that can be installed to cover the skylight whenever the air conditioner is on.
Another challenge of installing a skylight is that the area where it is installed creates moisture and causes roof leaks. Thus, you have to consult a roofing or skylight-installer company to see if your house is ideal for installing one.
Installing skylights can be tricky. However, there are easy solutions to them. Of course, you can always seek the help of experts to do it for you.
Looking for the best quality Velux skylights at affordable prices? Skylights Online provides a wide array of skylights to suit your preference. Check out Skylights-Online to compare their Velux fixed skylight prices.

This season at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014, young designer Aarti Vijay Gupta presented her collection "Indian Miniature Paintings," which was a tribute to the 16th-19th centuries of Indian history.
Gupta married the past with the present in her new collection, which featured portraits and flora and fauna on fabrics like Habutai silk. Models were seen wearing multifunctional silhouettes in regal cuts and prints.
Talking about her collection, Gupta said, "Pricey possessions are not meant just for the walls; now you can wear them, too. Wake up to the actual art of dressing and adorn yourself with silhouettes that will complement your personality."
"Raanjhanaa" actress Swara Bhaskar was a special guest at the show, which marked Gupta's fourth season at Lakme Fashion Week.

William Peter Boulevard key aspect of Castries transformation plans
Plans are moving swiftly ahead to makeover and beautify the city of Castries. So said Dr. Lorraine Nicholas, Project Manager of the OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness project (ORCTP), an initiative implemented by Ministry of Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries.
Dr Nicholas confirms that under the project, which is aimed at enhancing tourism business in Saint Lucia, there has been some headway on three specific initiatives: improvements to sidewalks in seven streets in Castries; pedestrianization of the William Peter Boulevard; and improving facades to storefronts and businesses in Castries.
"During the months of March, June, July, and August, we held several consultations with members of the public, and other relevant government stakeholders, with a view to getting their perspectives on our planned investments in signature sites, as part of our objectives to strengthen the competitiveness of tourism in Saint Lucia," Dr Nicholas explained.
The most recent consultations were held on Aug. 7 and 8 in Castries, as well as in Vieux Fort, where six option designs to pedestrianize the William Peter Boulevard were presented to stakeholders and members of the public. Based on the feedback received during consultations, the preference from the majority of persons is that the boulevard becomes a fully pedestrianized zone that is completely free of all vehicular traffic at all times, except possibly, only for vehicles which service the financial institutions that currently operate in the space and Emergency Services.
"It is expected that pedestrianization will create an enhanced atmosphere for relaxation, frolicking, dining and hassle-free shopping, which will ultimately stimulate more economic activity in the city. So far, all of the consultations have helped to add insight to prepare the final designs required to make promised improvements to the city as part of the long-term goal of the government to enhance tourism business," Dr Nicholas posited. "We are looking forward to the full cooperation of the public when we begin to work on transforming the boulevard, the sidewalks and the facades of some buildings in the city of Castries."
These three initiatives will herald the beginning of the Castries redevelopment initiative under the ORTCP.
The ORTCP is a six-year tourism development Project, which is funded by the World Bank with the aim of stimulating tourism growth on the island.

Journal of Inorganic Materials (无机材料学报) 2014/29:7 PP.758-762
Porous lead zirconate titanate (PZT95/5) ceramics were prepared by adding pore formers. The effects of pore structures including porosity, pore size and pore shape on the mechanical and ferroelectric properties of the porous PZT95/5 ceramics and their mechanisms were investigated, and the relationships between the microstructures and the mechanical and ferroelectric properties were revealed. The results showed that increase in porosity improved the acoustic impedance matching between ceramics and encapsulating materials by reducing the sound impedance values. With increase in porosity, the yield stress and remnant polarization (Pr) of the porous PZT95/5 ceramics decreased, while the coercive electric field increased. The porous PZT95/5 ceramics with spherical pores exhibited higher yield stress and remnant polarization (Pr) than that with irregular pores. The porous PZT95/5 ceramics with larger pore size exhibited lower yield stress and remnant polarization. However, compared with pore shape, pore size had minor effects on the yield stress and remnant polarization properties of the porous PZT95/5 ceramics. The effect of pore structure on the yield stress could be explained by stress concentration theory. The microscopic internal stress combined with space-charge theory was used to explain the variation of the remnant polarization with the pore structure.

Jimmy Page: "I'll Return with a New Band" and "Totally Different" Music in 2016" | VIDEO
Jimmy Page tells Classic Rock that he will return with a new band in 2016 and that his music will be "totally different" from his work with Led Zeppelin.
"It's taken a long time to get to this point, but I want to do it properly," the guitarist tells Classic Rock in a story posted on the site today. "And there will be surprises."
Page says his writing approach of late has been different from the past. "The writing that I've been doing, I'm thinking of it in a totally different way," he says. "And that has a charm of its own, and an excitement to it."
As of now, Page has no musicians onboard. But whomever he works with will be playing music from the full range of his career when it comes time to tour.
"There will be all sorts of material from different eras," Page says. "Right across the board—that's the way I'm seeing it. But like I said, there will be surprises. It won't be entirely what people might be expecting.
"The best way for me to think about it," he says, "is pacing towards a really exciting show, where you've still got chance to improvise and come up with new things every night. And I think in that sense, people are going to say, 'Yeah, okay, I get it.'"
Page would have made his return sooner, except that much of his time these past few years has been taken up with the long-running Led Zeppelin reissue project, which concluded earlier in 2015.
He noted last month that his new music might be instrumental. "I'm not thinking about singers, I'm thinking of an instrumental thing," Page told Bang Showbiz, "I want to work with my strengths rather than my weaknesses. I want to work with myself, I want to get myself up and running and once I'm ready, I'll think about whether I need someone to sing on the music."
The guitarist made a brief return to the stage this past November 19 when he made a surprise appearance at a benefit show at Seattle's Experience Music Project Museum. He led Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Paul Rodgers, Alice in Chains singer William Duvall and others through a rough-and-ready version of "Rock and Roll." You can watch a clip from the performance below. Page arrives onstage at around 3:18.

As students enter your classroom, they're bringing with them a wide spectrum of mindsets, beliefs, attitudes, and previous experiences that can have an impact on the way they engage with you, their fellow students, and your course material. And, as they progress throughout your course, they will face other situations and struggles (such as time management struggles, illnesses, or relationship issues) that may increase their stress levels, take some of their focus off of their academic goals, and test their willingness to persist in their coursework.
Students must, of course, take personal responsibility for their health, attitudes, and well being. However, you as an instructor can play a role in helping your students develop healthy practices that can better enable them to cope with stressors, develop academic resilience, and reach the level of success they hope to achieve in school.
In the webinar "Promoting Student Wellness for Improved Learning," Dr. Christine Harrington offers suggestions that can help you integrate valuable information about wellness into your course. She discusses research that helps us understand the connection between well-being and student resilience and presents a number of teaching strategies and assignment ideas you can use to promote wellness while maintaining an appropriate emphasis on academics.
Do you integrate wellness topics into your course? If so, how? Do you have particular exercises, assignments, or other activities that help students make good choices and maintain a positive focus on their academic goals? Share your ideas below.

Jose Maria Olazabal is being tipped to be Europe's next Ryder Cup captain after receiving the backing of
Colin Montgomerie.
The Spaniard could be given the task of defending the trophy after Montgomerie's announcement he would step down from the role following 'the greatest and proudest' moment of his career on Monday.
Europe managed to hold off a spirited fightback from the USA at Celtic Manor to take the Ryder Cup 14.5-13.5, with Graeme McDowell holding his nerve in the closing stages.
The two sides will meet again next in 2012 at Chicago's Medinah Country Club, and Montgomerie confirmed that he wants the role of captain to be shared around.
'I do hope Jose Maria will be well enough to be the next captain,' said the Scot.
'He did brilliantly as one of my assistants here and it was also only right that we had a picture of him and Seve (Ballesteros) in our team room and then at the closing ceremony.'
Olazabal, who is currently suffering with rheumatism, said he would 'love to do it' in two years' time.
'It all depends on my physical situation, but it's much better than it was a few months ago,' he added.
The Spaniard is known as one of the Ryder Cup's best performers, having starred with Ballesteros in 15 matches and losing only two.

City of Lethbridge snow and ice crews are fully mobilized and continue to focus plowing and sanding efforts on the busiest arterial roads (Priority 1 routes) throughout the city to ensure they remain clear while the current snow event continues.
Priority 1 routes include : Whoop-Up Drive, University Drive, Métis Trail, Bridge Drive, Mayor Magrath Drive, Scenic Drive, 26 Avenue North, 28 Street North, 1 Avenue South west of Scenic Dr., 5 Avenue North (from Hwy 3 to Stafford Dr.). Priority 1 routes are determined based on traffic volume and road incline.
The snow is forecast to subside over the weekend. When that occurs, snow crews will shift plowing and sanding efforts to Priority 2 and 3 routes, which include major collector roads and bus routes. The maps for all priority routes for roads can be found at www.lethbridge.ca/WinterRoads.
Crews will also be initiating snow removal starting with Priority 1 routes in the downtown and moving to other Priority 1 routes when the downtown is complete. Snow will be plowed to the middle of the road, in windrows, so vehicles and property access are not blocked with plowed snow. Windrowed snow will then be removed by truck, which will start early next week.
Snow plowing is not conducted in most residential areas with on-street parking as residents have shared concerns about being blocked in by snow piles. However, the City will remove snow in specific residential areas if it becomes impassible for a properly equipped vehicle. In these instances, a service request can be made by calling 403-320-3850.
Whoop-Up Drive Speed Limit For public safety, the Whoop-Up Drive speed limit remains reduced to 60 km/h until further notice due to winter conditions. Conditions are being monitored around the clock, and updates will be provided as necessary.
Motorists are reminded to adjust their driving for winter road conditions. Use caution when approaching and crossing bridge decks and intersections, and please do not pass snow plows. More information on the City's Snow and Ice Control program is available online at: www.lethbridge.ca/WinterRoads.

It's 2017, and like it or not, image is everything.
We reached a point not too long ago in the food and beverage world where quality was expected, if not assumed. Most chefs now use produce straight from the farm and cure their own meats. At the bar, savvy guests expect fresh juice, housemade syrups and shrubs, quality spirits and proper technique. The craft cocktail revolution is no longer a revolution, but something that every restaurant bar aspires to, at least a little bit.
As social media evolved and Instragram took hold over the last 5 or 6 years, restaurant guests started documenting their every restaurant order and posting it to their accounts. The ubiquity of the habit can sometimes approach overload.
Cultural and restaurant critics lately have bemoaned that in today's climate, quality counts for far less than image when it comes to attracting the attention of young people, who merely want to check an experience o their list and, of course, document it on Instagram. It's far better for drinks to look good than to taste good, and if you don't snap a pic, it didn't happen.
How do you navigate that environment, as a beverage manager of integrity, and still sleep at night?
At the bar, savvy guests expect fresh juice, housemade syrups and shrubs,
quality spirits and proper technique.
Start by pivoting your perception of the situation. Yes, it's true that there are many guests who care more about image and looks than taste or quality. But that has always been the case. If, instead of trying for easy post-bait, you take the approach of offering the guests something truly original and special, the likes will start rolling in with your integrity intact.
Deliver on the "Wow Factor"
Every bar should start by focusing on the quality of their cocktails, on really getting the details right. Make a truly great drink, and the posts and likes will follow with just a little attention to presentation. I like to think of it as expanding the reach of that "wow" moment that I always strive for in the dining room.
For years, long before Instagram was a consideration, I've thought about making beautiful cocktails. I wanted guests to express delight when the drink was put in front of them, for them to drink with their eyes before they ever tried it, and for the guest next to them – and the guest sitting by service bar – to ask, "What is that?!" I've even gone so far as to ask servers to walk through the dining room slowly, with the drink on a tray where everyone can see it, because I know it will lead to more sales of that drink!
Instagram does the same thing for bar business, only that slow tray walk is a post that reaches a guest's 4,239 followers and gets 749 likes.
There are numerous ways that your bar can increase the "wow factor" of your cocktails, delight every guest that orders that cocktail, and potentially get likes that lead to new bar guests.
Choose Interesting Glassware
There is really no excuse to be using boring glassware at this stage of the game. Most glassware manufacturers responded to the craft cocktail movement by ordering readily available, affordable – and often even tempered! – glassware lines for commercial use. Libbey offers numerous types of coupes, copper Moscow Mule mugs, Mason drinking jars and even an entire "Retro" line. Arcoroc's "Fusion" and "BeBop" lines are very unusual visually. And restaurant supply companies such as Atlanta Fixture and TriMark can easily order anything you want from these companies.
Many spirits brands have caught on to the fancy glassware trend, and they will offer you unique vessels for your cocktails, provided their brand is featured in the drink. Absolut Elyx is one prime example. Elyx has taken the copper mug craze and amplified it by offering copper coupes, copper owls and copper gnomes, and they even debuted a copper squirrel at Tales of the Cocktail this year.
I had great success with a Bay Breeze for Two on the menu at Ford Fry's BeetleCat in Atlanta's Inman Park neighborhood. Served in a large copper pineapple and featuring Absolut Elyx, the cocktail was designed to be shared, and numerous Instagram posts ensued.
Fair warning: the more unique your glassware, the more likely it is to disappear. For large or pricy pieces, consider putting a note on the menu that the glass is available for $50. If it goes home with a guest, you can consider putting the glass on their tab. When a bar in Buckhead instituted this policy for their Elyx copper owls, at least one guest returned the missing owl for a refund.
If you want to take your glassware game in a different direction, consider looking for vintage glasses. Search vintage stores, thrift shops, antique shows and eBay for one-of-a-kind finds. Just know that when these glasses break during service, as they inevitably will, they won't be replaceable. Other ideas for unique presentation include disposables. I've heard of cocktails being served in Chinese take- out containers, fancy paper cups and even tiny plastic hats.
I've been to a renowned bar on the West Coast that served a cocktail in a delicate glass bird, and another one inside a lightbulb. The breakage must have been epic, but the Instagram posts, even more so!
Garnish Dramatically
I find that way too often, garnishes are an afterthought, and that shouldn't be the case. Rather than letting your servers grab that sad lime wedge as they run from service bar, why not put as much thought into the garnish as you do the rest of the cocktail?
Having a super fresh, colorful and edible garnish speaks to the overall quality of your bar program. Having one that is also rare or unusual will get people's attention. Consider fruits that guests don't encounter as often, like guava, kumquats or oven-dried blood orange slices.
Save the fronds from the fresh pineapple you cut to garnish your tiki-style drinks. Use fresh herbs or edible owers to add aromatics and visual appeal. Stack several small garnishes together on a skewer and balance them on the glass's edge.
You can even consider using non-edible garnishes like colorful straws, interesting garnish picks or plastic novelties. Hang a plastic monkey o the edge of the Monkey Gland on your classics menu. Use little disposable mermaids to garnish your Cape Cods.
I read recently about a cocktail called "Mom's Basement" that was garnished with a Dorito and a fake joint filled with fresh thyme. Too much? Maybe, but it's certainly something for guests to talk about on their first date!
What's in a Name?
The right name can sometimes make or break a cocktail's sales. And when trying to get social media exposure, having a clever name will definitely get you those necessary hashtags.
Make sure the name is catchy, appropriate to the ingredients of the cocktail, suitable to its visual appearance and that guests will feel compelled to order just to say it out loud.
The cocktail I mentioned that came in the light bulb? "Bright Idea."
One I've seen served in the Absolut Elyx owl? "Owl Have at One."
If you're really going for shameless self- promotion, why not just give the cocktail a name with the hashtag already on it? #thanksillhaveanother.
Set the Right Example
Allow your restaurant's social media account to set the tone by posting clever photos of your own cocktails to draw guests in. Set the cocktails up in unexpected parts of the restaurant, preferably with gorgeous lighting. Use the wood grain of your floors or the fabric of your drapes to set a pretty backdrop. Shoot from interesting angles and get extreme closeups of that perfect foam right after the cocktail is shaken.
The hashtag game can be a fun one. The right mix of silly hashtags that make people laugh (#makecocktailsgreatagain), hashtags that identify your business and hashtags that will bring your posts up on the right people's search tab are key. Oh, and #cocktailporn is real, guys. Use it.
Don't think that every drink on your menu has to be Instagram bait. If you have a cocktail menu with eight great drinks on it, make one or two of them real stand-outs. People may come to your bar to order "the one" that they saw on Instagram and check it off their list, but the real goal is to make them so wowed by everything else about their experience that they stay for one or two more. And more importantly, they come back!

I'll be interviewing Mike Rich, screenwriter of Finding Forrester, The Rookie, Radio, and The Nativity Story, this afternoon.
The guy's being interviewed by all kinds of religious press publications. I'm sure he's heard some questions a hundred time.
So I'm sitting here listing questions that he might not have heward. I'm curious… what would YOU ask him? What do you want to know about The Nativity Story and how it was made?
[UPDATE: Thanks to those who emailed questions to me. The interview went very well, and will be published on the website for Response Magazine in a couple of weeks. Mike Rich is one of the most eloquent artists I've ever interviewed. I could probably publish the transcript with very few alterations, if I wished. Stay tuned…]

Repairing Corrupt Libraries
July 5, 2016
If you have a Library that has corrupted – you are instructed to repair it using use the Tools: Recover Library… option in EndNote. Most of the time – this should resolve the issue. If it does you can delete the original/corrupt library and .data folder and rename the new one the same as the orginal (eg: as My EndNote Library.enl and My EndNote Library.data) and move it to the same location of the deleted one. (If it doesn't sync automatically – then re-Sync the renamed Library.)
In some cases this does not resolve the issue and you keep getting same corruption message even with any new/recovered library. If this happens – try these Advanced Recovery Options.

More homeowners are choosing to include security cameras as a part of their overall home security. A concern for some is whether or not security cameras can be hacked and controlled, particularly those configured for remote access via the Internet.
Can my security camera be hacked?
The short answer, is yes. A longer, more comprehensive—and and reassuring—answer involves awareness of things like default online access and remote monitoring, password security, purchasing equipment from a trusted source, and the likelihood of your home being a target.
Remote Online Monitoring
A major area of concern has to do with remote online monitoring, which allows you to monitor your home security cameras online. An app or website is used to remotely log in to your security system and manage each camera for an instant view of your home. Many camera brands have this feature enabled by default, which means the minute your new camera surveillance system is up and running, it could be exposed to hackers.
If you're not considering remotely monitoring your cameras, it might not occur to you that your new security equipment has this feature turned on by default, which can leave your security system vulnerable to hackers. You can turn this feature off, but if you are going to use it, the best first defense is to set up a strong password.
Many camera systems, even those provided by trusted home security companies, are configured with simple passwords such as "1234," "1111," "admin," or something similar to help you easily get your new security system running. Many people never change these passwords, which helps hackers take control of your security cameras.
To avoid this being a problem for you, always change the default passwords for any monitoring system you purchase. Even a small change is better than no change. Also, don't use common words or easily guessed numbers (address, birthdays, etc). Strong passwords include a combination of letters (both upper and lower cases), numbers, and symbols. The longer and more varied the password, the better. Be sure to change the password every 45-60 days as an added security measure.
Purchase Through Trusted Sources
Used security equipment, including camera systems, can easily be found for sale through local classified ads. Low prices for used-but-working equipment can be enticing but purchases of this nature come with their own set of concerns. Primarily, does the camera design allow hackers to tamper with them to allow access once the cameras have been installed by an unsuspecting homeowner?
This is a real way hackers take control of home security camera equipment, but this method requires they previously had the camera in their physical possession. Spend the extra money on new equipment as it will be worth avoiding the potential problems that come with previously owned equipment.
Is your security equipment at risk of being hacked?
Some homeowners never think about their security cameras being hacked while others make it a priority to prevent it. Whether or not you think your home security equipment is susceptible to being hacked, no one is totally risk-free. Hackers, just like burglars, are opportunists and an easily exploited route into your home is generally too much to pass up.
The folly is assuming you're never going to be at risk for as security hack. For home security schemes to work their best, diligence is key. Ask about potential security issues when shopping for, installing, and configuring any security camera monitoring system in your home. Make certain your questions are fully answered and you're satisfied with what you're purchasing.
Attention to the smaller, finer details like ensuring remote access is either turned off or is protected with strong passwords, and the equipment you've purchased is new and from a trusted source. This will always be to your advantage because these are easily exploited by the bad guys.
SafeWise can help you discover the right security provider and best equipment for your needs. Rely on professional resources for professional results, and help protect your home, family, and security equipment.

Always an Army Family
August 2009:
So, by this point, it's been decided by my husband and I that we are going to return home to our home state. For the duration of his fifteen-month deployment we were up in the air about the future of our lives. As the months draw near to my husband's ETS date, we've decided that our goal is to get back up to the great state of Michigan, where we were both born and raised. There are a few bittersweet moments mixed in with making this decision. You come to grow and love the places you create as your home and the extended family that is created out of new friends. This home in Kansas is the first home of ours, and literally where our daughter was born. On top of that, I made a best friend in our neighbor just south of us, and I am going to miss her greatly. There are a bunch of small things that I'll miss, but for the most part, I am ready to go back home. To live in our home state together as man and wife will be kinda nice. As many military couples can attest, we were married in a court house, far from our family, and even though we knew each other for years and were from the same state, the military just didn't afford us the opportunity to have a home wedding. It was a "do where you are" kinda wedding if we wanted to be married and many military couples don't want to wait for leave in order to get married. I have learned that no matter how far away you are from your "home" you can make a "home" anywhere with a little will and heart investment. My husband and children have become my home, and those I've met along the way have certainly made a home away from home for me. I've been blessed to experience the independence the military life can provide and the chance it also gives you to branch out and learn how to sometimes depend on new people.
Life Today: Always An Army Family
Current 2019:
It has been 9 years since my husband's ETS date. November 16, 2009 a date that I remember and will likely remember for years to come. Although my husband was in the Army before we became husband and wife, it has been a resounding part of our life that has shaped how we react with the rest of the world. It's the knowledge that we are part of the 1% club that bonds us together, making us beam with pride. Our oldest daughter was born near post; her umbilical cord was cut with 5-50 parachute cord (as she was born unexpectedly on our bathroom floor), our 8 year marriage has only begun to truly flourish as we had spent nearly half that time away from each other (my husband went to school for 18 months after his ETS date), and our house is adorned with military objects, including the his folded re-enlistment flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. I am currently in school earning a master's degree in Professional Counseling, so that I can work within the military community.
Honestly, I wish we were back in the life sometimes and I feel guilty because I did not dawn the uniform myself. However, I do not want to spend any more time away from my husband as we raise our four children and my husband finally gets to experience many things that he lost out on with our oldest two children. It has been fantastic to see him with our children, to know that he is here when it snows too much or the pipes freeze. Having my husband around to co-parent our children and to kiss every night before I go to bed makes me the happiest women alive. Yet, I have this feeling that we are now separated from the 1% club. I am striving to find a way to connect to a world that had such a profound impact on my life, to give back. I have even resorted to asking my husband if he was sure that he was done with the military life. Truthfully, I know that we are done with active duty, Reserves or even the National Guard and when I think of deployments, I am thankful to God that we decided to leave active duty. The interesting thing is, separating from the military is more than just a soldier's experience (albeit very important), but a family's experience as well, an Army wife's experience. When I see a uniform out of the corner of my eye, I feel butterfly's in my stomach. When I hear certain songs on the radio, I can become overwhelmed with tears because they remind me of a time when I had to say good-bye to the love of my life, the father of my children. Certain sites remind me of post, a grouping of houses that looks like they could be on a military installation. As I think about no longer being part of the "active" 1 % population, I am reminded that no matter how you look at it, we will always know what others do not know, what others have never felt, what others maybe do not have the courage to do. I am always an Army wife inside my heart. As a professional counselor, I work to utilize my Army wife mind and heart in a civilian world to inspire and heal.

Pearl Beach Resort
The Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort is located on Motu Tevairoa, one of the white-sand beach islets surrounding the Bora Bora lagoon, and therefore benefits from views back across the lagoon to the peaks of Mount Otemanu. Onsite, there are two restaurants with lagoon views, and a wealth of activities and excursions are available. The Polynesian-style bungalows are all air conditioned, and are either nestled in the tropical gardens, perched along the beach front, or over the lagoon itself, with direct access to the water from your private deck. With regular shuttles available to the main island, you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.

- Make an inquiry
There are 80 bungalows and suites at the resort, decorated in Polynesian style using natural materials. Each features air conditioning, ceiling fan, tea and coffee facilities, minibar, TV and CD player.
The Pearl Beach Resort enjoys an enviable location in a secluded spot to the west of Bora Bora where you can't see other resorts, just views of the island. It's perched on small, narrow beach overlooking a shallow lagoon. There is a regular boat shuttle to the island of Bora Bora, which is just 5 minutes away.
Food and Drink
The Pearl Resort has two restaurants and a bar located on the property, which are largely informal and have both indoor or outdoor seating. The main dining room, Tevairoa, overlooks the Bora Bora lagoon, with a view of Mount Otemanu, and is open for breakfast and dinner, which is normally a la carte though there are regular, themed buffet nights. Set by the pool, the Miki Miki Restaurant is open 11am – 8.30pm (excluding Monday evenings) for more casual meals. There are also several restaurants on Bora Bora itself and the hotel can arrange for a local restaurant to pick you up and drop you off at the hotel's shuttle boat pier if you would like to eat out.
The resort welcomes guests of all ages although there are no specific children's facilities other than babysitting on request at a local charge. Please note the overwater bungalows aren't suitable for small children.
Facilities and Activities
The pool overlooks the lagoon and its sheltered cove, where you can get excellent conditions for kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. There's a small coral nursery next to the overwater bungalows with a variety of fish, and the hotel provides snorkeling gear. You can play tennis, volleyball, mini golf and bocce in the resort's gardens.
Our opinion
Unmatched views make this resort hard to beat and the Polynesian style makes a refreshing change from many of the generic international luxury resorts in the region.
