- Volvo's performance EV brand Polestar unveiled its new Polestar 2 compact sedan on Wednesday.
- Polestar 2 is one of the first cars in the world to feature an infotainment system powered by Google'sAndroid operating system.
- According to Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath, turning to Google for its infotainment system is an example of his company avoiding the mistakes other car makers have made by trying to build a system on their own.
- The Polestar 2 is a compact electric sedan designed to rival Tesla's hot-selling Model 3.
- In the US, the fully loaded Polestar 2 Launched Edition starts at $US63,000.
Swedish automaker Polestar unveiled its new Polestar 2 compact sedan on Wednesday. It's the latest offering from Volvo's new performance EV brand.
One of the Polestar 2's most interesting features is an infotainment system powered by Google's Android operating system. It's one of the first cars in the world to be equipped with a system that boasts built-in apps like Google Maps and artificial intelligence capabilities through Google Assistant.
According to Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath, the Android system will embed traditionally smartphone-bound apps natively into an infotainment system. As a result, drivers will be able to effectively access the infotainment system through voice commands and will no longer need to fiddle with phones.
"I think that will be a very good step towards driving without distractions," he said in an interview with Business Insider.
For Ingenlath, using Google's infotainment and artificial intelligence technology is an example of his company avoiding the mistakes others in the industry have made by trying to build these systems on their own.
"The traditional car industry made the mistake of thinking you have to develop and do these things yourself and really failing because it's not your core business," the veteran car designer turned CEO said. "We realised that this is something where we need a specialist. Where we need to rely on them doing the best thing and us simply giving it to our customers."

The use of Android technology also offers Polestar 2 drivers a high level of app flexibility.
"Here in Europe, and in the US as well, Google Maps is a great system to use for navigation but if you like something else, Waze or whatever, you can use that as an app and it will run seamlessly just like Google Maps," Ingenlath said.
This capability also allows Polestar to tailor its infotainment system to the requirements of specific markets such as China where Google Maps is not available.
The Polestar 2, aimed directly at the Tesla Model 3, has an expected range of 275 miles and boasts a 78 kWh battery pack. In the US, a fully-loaded Polestar 2 Launch Edition starts at $US63,000. Production is expected to start in early 2020.

Silicon carbide was discovered by the American inventor Dr. Edward G. Acheson in 1891 while attempting to produce artificial diamonds from coke and silica sand. Finding that these new crystals approximated the hardness of diamond and immediately realizing the significance of his discovery, Acheson applied for a U.S. patent. His early product initially was offered for the polishing of gems and sold at a price comparable with natural diamond dust. The new compound, which was obtainable from cheap raw materials and in good yields, soon became an important
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaindustrial abrasive.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaindustrial abrasive.
As an abrasive, Silicon Carbide is black in color and is the hardest and sharpest of the minerals used commonly in coated abrasives. It's harder than Aluminum Oxide but considerably more friable—which means that it fractures readily, exposing new sharp edges. Silicon Carbide is most effective with non- ferrous metals such as brass, copper, bronze, magnesium, titanium and aluminum where fast, cool cutting is desirable. Non-metallic applications include ceramic, stone, glass, plastic, leather and rubber. Silicon Carbide is superior to any other abrasive in its ability to penetrate and cut faster under light pressure.
Aluminum Oxide was introduced in 1900 by CT Jacobs. It is produced from the raw mineral Bauxite where it is fused in electric arc furnaces at temperatures up to 2600' C, which is a temperature 800' C hotter than lava in a volcano! The AO ingots are cooled and then crushed with a roll crusher to produce a large volume of splintery, sharp and friable abrasive particles that break down easily to remain sharp and produce a minimum of heat buildup. The crushed AO is then sized into the various grits used in producing coated abrasive products.
Aluminum Oxide remains the most popular abrasive used in sanding products, as it is considered the most "all purpose" abrasive. It is a reddish-brown in color, extremely tough and its blocky shape facilitates the penetration of tough materials without excess fracturing or shedding. It is specified for applications on high tensile materials such as carbon steel and alloy steel as well as wood, composites and solid surface.
These traditional synthetic minerals used in abrasives offer many advantages over the traditional naturally occurring minerals. Synthetic minerals are consistent without unforeseen impurities. In addition, we have the technology to control the grain characteristics in a synthetic mineral. Grains for coated abrasives are different than the grains used in grinding wheels. They are elongated to achieve the best bonding results and abrasive performance.
Aluminum Oxide is manufactured in two levels of abrasive grain surface density: closed coat and open coat. A closed coat product is one in which the abrasive grains completely cover the surface of the backing. The greater number of "abrading points" per square inch results in a larger amount of material being removed before the product becomes worn out. An open coat product is one in which the abrasive grains cover approximately 50% to 60% of the coat side of the backing. Open coat AO frequently cuts faster and provides a greater resistance to loading, which makes it an ideal choice for sanding on softwoods.

|Øvre-Eide 36
5105 Eidsvåg
Welcome to Øvre-Eide Gård, which lies in idyllic surroundings next to Jordalsvannet in Eidsvåg just a few minutes from Bergen's city center. The farm dates from the 1500's and has a very exciting history. We are open all year and offer among other things group visits, tourist packages, parties, meetings and team building activities.
Throughout its history, the farm has had many owners. Today it is run by the fifth generation of the Øvre-Eide family. On the farm we have two types of Norwegian purebred horse breeds – the Dølahest and fjording. We also have sheep, hens, rooster, turkey and rabbits. In addition to the normal farming, we have a fine events venue in the main house.
The barn is also used when we have farm visitors, tourists, children's birthday parties, Christmas activities as well and courses, meeting and team events. We make arrangements for almost any kind of festivity or business meeting. Øvre-Eide Gård has much to offer tourists, and our farm visits for families and groups are very popular.
Culinary experiences are also important, and we various offers for tourists with a focus on Norwegian traditional cooking with locally produced ingredients!
Øvre-Eide had been the seat of a small king, before Harald Hårfagre united the many chiefdoms of Norway into one kingdom. Archeological finds suggests that the farm was both big and old, but as with many other farms at the time, it was left abandoned after the black plague. In 1563 it was producing again, and was deemed one of the larger farms in Åsane. It was probably in this period that the main house with a dungeon was built – and this dungeon has in fact been used. The infamous bandit Gjest Baardsen, who plundered and raided western Norway in the period 1791-1849, has been a prisoner here!

MIDTOWN, Manhattan — Long Island Rail Road service has resume with residual delays hours after service between Jamaica and Penn Station was snarled during the rush hour commute Thursday evening.
LIRR previously tweeted:
"Customers should expect cancellations & delays due to Amtrak power problems causing a loss of third rail power to 12 tracks at Penn," the LIRR posted on Twitter.
NJ Transit trains arriving into and departing from Penn Station will also have delays up to 30 minutes.
The rush hour headache comes as problems with LIRR and Amtrak continue to escalate.
Evening rush-hour cancellations and delays on the LIRR have reached their highest level in 10 years, according to transit data analyzed by the Wall Street Journal.
Problems at Amtrak-managed Penn Station have caused many of this year's problems, but the LIRR's performance also has become increasingly unreliable over the past four years, the Journal found.
From 2008 through 2012, the LIRR's systemwide on-time evening rush-hour performance averaged 93 percent during the first four months of those years. Over the last five years, it dropped to 87 percent.

text: SELF-IMAGE May 16 admin SELF-IMAGE Definition: Self-image is the idea, conception, or mental image one has of oneself. Brief Explanation: As stated in the definition, self-concept or self-image is the idea, conception, or mental image one has of oneself. Every person has an image or belief about one's goodness or badness. For example, as stated under humility, a humble person is not merely self-effacing. He or she is a person with an honest appraisal of themselves in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. They have learned to accept themselves as they are, without accepting sin or a weakness that may be overcome. As was noted above, Jesus was the meekest of all, having a quiet strength of character; he was also humble, in that he rightly knew who he was, and who he wasn't, and what he was called to do. Self-concept is developed in most people early in life, and is made up of the various experiences, good and bad that the person has had. Whether a person has a positive or negative self-image is often determined by how the person evaluates their life experience…positive or negative. Further, as stated under pride, there are people who do think a bit more highly than they should of themselves and others who are not nearly as aware as they should be of the unique and special person they are. Having a realistic appraisal of oneself is key to a healthy self-concept, which is necessary to approach life with faith and hope. If a person devalues themselves, not seeing clearly that they are precious to the Lord, created in His image and likeness, or if they overvalue themselves, thinking that they are better than others, a wrong self-concept and ultimate self-esteem will be skewed. A counselor must help the suffering saint to see themselves in light of God's word, not based upon others appraisal or even their own. The Word of God: Genesis 1:26-28 "And God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all of the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. And God created the man in His own image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. And God blessed them; and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the seas, and over birds of the heavens, and over all beasts creeping on the earth." Philippians 2:5-8 "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on the cross." 2 Chronicles 7:14 "And My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Proverbs 15:33 "The fear of the Lord is instruction for wisdom, and before honor comes humility." Matthew 18:4 "Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." James 4:6 "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:6 "Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time." Proverbs 16:18, 19 "Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud." 1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world." 2 Samuel 18:18 "Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for the said "I have no son to preserve my name." So, he named the pillar after his own name, and is called Absalom's monument to this day."

Mrs. Jennifer Gabriel
Hello! My name is Jen Gabriel, and I am blessed to be part of the Stuber Physical Education department this year! My family and I relocated to Texas two years ago, and I instantly fell in love with Prosper and especially Prosper ISD. After volunteering for a semester at Windsong Ranch Elementary, I was hired on as a SPED Resource instructional aide for Windsong. When Stuber opened up last year, I accepted the opportunity to transfer to Stuber as the PE aide.
This role resonates well with me, as my background is in athletics, Cross Country and Track and Field, in particular. I spent all of my high school and college years racing for my schools, and it has always been my secret hope to help coach one day, and do for the youth what had been done for me when I was first learning to be an athlete. Marriage and motherhood put me on a different path after I finished college, and I put my dream to coach aside. I married my favorite college cross country teammate, Chris, 19 years ago, and we are raising 3 daughters together. Now that all of our children are in school full-time, I have the freedom to pursue some of the dreams that I had put to rest for a few years.
All of this to say, that when I was presented with the opportunity to help coach PE at Stuber Elementary, all I could give was my wholehearted, "YES PLEASE!!!" I am excited! I am thankful! And if I can help impart to our students a greater love, knowledge and enthusiasm for health and fitness than they had before, then I will have done my job!

Because I don't believe in hiding behind innuendo, and also don't feel my comments are disrespectful or inappropriate, I'll say this up front so we're all on the same page. Yes, newmusicboy, I'm talking about your behavior in particular.
When I was shopping for an orchestral library, the very first review I read about GPO said, essentially, good product, good price, but the incredibly friendly and supportive community that has grown up around GPO shows that its here to stay. That got my attention, and I saw these comments reflected in many other places. So I bought GPO, and experienced first hand that it was true. Some of you may not realize this, but it was the attitude and vibe of the people in this community that inspired me to launch the Composer Channel in the first place. Everyone was so nice here, it really made me want to help them.
The Internet is full of discussion forums, and in almost all of them there are continual arguments, insults and flame wars. Feeling safely hidden behind their false identities, people treat each other with a rudeness and disrespect that they would never attempt if they were physically standing in the same room. Thats because in the real world, standing nose to nose, people dont tolerate that kind of behavior. On the Internet, however, many people feel that theyre immune to the consequences of their actions and use this as an excuse to abuse others with impunity.
Because the overwhelming majority of you here are exceptionally nice people, youre sitting back quietly and saying nothing as the disease of insults and hatefulness begins to infest one of the few benevolent forums Ive seen. All it takes is one intentionally inflammatory person to get the ball rolling. Soon, kindred spirits who also enjoy exercising their personal demons by insulting others join the ranks. Because these are the loudest voices and enjoy shouting others down, theirs becomes the voice that is heard. People of good conscience who dont enjoy confrontation sit quietly in the background, no longer contributing their wonderful insights. Others, seeing the mood shift, simply leave. Soon, all thats left are the loud and insulting voices, and what was once a wonderful island of benevolence amidst the typical flame wars of the Internet dies and fades into memory.
New Orleans offers a sobering and real world example of what happens when small breaches occur in a levee. Soon, the levee breaks, and all that was once good is washed away. Although Ive said little, Ive been monitoring the forums and have seen numerous people offer comments about this new attitude that range from and this is why I dont post anymore to why arent people like this simply banned?
Gary is a good guy, and works hard to give people the benefit of the doubt. Others, who dont want to get sucked into a negative situation (and good for them), try hard to justify rude, insulting remarks by saying, oh, that was just a joke that others took the wrong way. Sorry, folks. Calling someone (and I quote) an idiot, telling people not to quit their day job or suggesting that they should enroll in clown college (if their grades arent too low to be accepted) is simply not funny. Its insulting, rude, and just plain mean. Thats not the sort of spirit that used to prevail here, and its certainly no place that I want to be.
Gary asked me quite a while back if Id like to be a Moderator here, and I simply dont have the time. Thats probably just as well, because I feel very strongly about protecting what may be one of the few existing benevolent communities on the Internet. I would simply offer one warning and then ban such instigators without a second thought. Rudeness is not funny. Insults are not funny. If you want to be the center of attention, Im okay with that, provided you do it in a way that doesnt demean or inflame another.
Are you willing to give up what you have here? You might think the finger in the dam analogy is overstating the gravity of the situation. I do not. I am no scholar, but Im certainly a student of both human nature and history. At every level of society, things like this go downhill in a hurry. (Try reading the abstract art thread if youd like a case in point.)
If youre willing to sit back and do nothing, then you will see the atmosphere here deteriorate to the point that people become uncomfortable posting their thoughts or music for fear of ridicule or confrontation. Look around you its happening already. You will lose the brotherhood (and sisterhood) that has been nurtured and promoted by Gary and all of you here. You will lose the mutual support of your artistic endeavors, and these forums will diminish to little more than a technical support venue where people just complain and flame the company. Think Im exaggerating? Spend some time visiting other forums.
Newmusicboy, if youd like to become one of us, enjoy the benefits of a room full of friends who will encourage your artistic endeavors, offer supportive comments, give help where its needed and in general reap the benefits that come from a large and positive group of people, then I respectfully submit that you make swift and serious changes in the way you treat others around here. These people are my friends, and they deserve respect and consideration, not insults and ridicule. If youre not willing to interact in a kind and benevolent manner here, there are plenty of other places on the Internet where people will be happy to exchange insults with you. Start conducting yourself with honor and respect, or get out.
Folks, it would be nice if everything stayed positive with no effort. Real life doesnt work that way. If you want to keep what you have here, you need to stand up and be counted. Perhaps if enough people speak with a loud enough voice, either Newmusicboy will choose to tone it down and conduct himself in an appropriate manner or hell simply be banned. Im perfectly comfortable with either option. Im not comfortable with seeing the Garritan forums become yet another casualty of Internet rudeness.
If youd like to see an end to the insults and negativity weve been experiencing this past few weeks, then step up to the plate and say so, even if its no more than a reply that says, I agree.
Its your community, unless you give it up by letting the aggressively rude shout you down.

MSU football review: Davis, Bachie help marshal 9-3 turnaround
Most valuable player, offense: There are a few directions to go here as it's hard to overlook the impressive stretch QB Brian Lewerke had in the middle of Big Ten play and the receivers, as a whole, played a big role in MSU's success. But the choice her is junior WR Felton Davis. He led the team with 51 catches for 658 yards and eight touchdowns, which ranked third in the Big Ten. He proved to be Lewerke's favorite target in the red zone and had three two-touchdown games while ranking sixth in the Big Ten in receptions per game (4.3).
Most valuable player, defense: Another tough one as DE Kenny Willekes, CB Josiah Scott and S David Dowell all had outstanding seasons. But the importance of the middle linebacker in this defense is hard to understate and sophomore Joe Bachie was outstanding. He was eighth in the Big Ten with 94 tackles, had 3.5 sacks, intercepted three passes, forced two fumbles and recovered one. That production, across the board, was hard to match.
Most improved player, offense: Darrell Stewart entered the season with three catches and two rushing attempts in one season of action and quickly proved how important he would be as a sophomore catching six passes for 85 yards in the opener then running for 70 yards in week two. He finished with 48 catches for 486 yards and two touchdowns while running for 140 yards and proved to be Michigan State's toughest runner after the catch.
Most improved player, defense: There would be plenty of votes for S David Dowell in this category, but DE Kenny Willekes gets the nod. He's played in one career game entering the season and the former walk-on turned himself into an All-Big Ten player by leading the team in sacks (7) and tackles for loss (14.5). He also hurried the quarterback seven times and recovered a pair of fumbles as he started all but one game this season.
More: MSU mailbag: Sizing up bowl foes, recruiting targets
Unsung hero, offense: The offensive line took a lot of heat this season because of its inconsistent play and much of it was to be expected as the unit was light on experience. Senior center Brian Allen was the one force on the line that missed only a snap or two all season and was a steady force. The numbers won't show it this season, but Allen's steady hand will likely pay off big for this group in the next year or two as the young players develop
Unsung hero, defense: Linebacker Chris Frey put everything he had into turning the program around and his leadership is where he made the most impact. Not just in the offseason, but during the season as well. His numbers dropped way off as he had just 49 tackles, but he never let the fact he was a senior stand in the way of the program. He deferred late in the season to sophomore Tyriq Thompson and freshman Antjuan Simmons, moves that will absolutely benefit the defense in the next few seasons.
Season highlight 1: Even though Michigan State has dominated the series with Michigan under coach Mark Dantonio, beating the Wolverines never gets old for the Spartans, especially when everyone is counting them out. The win in Ann Arbor on Oct. 7 was no different but MSU jumped out early then its defense took over when the rains came for the eighth win in the last 10 meetings.
Season highlight 2: By the time the Spartans hosted Penn State on Nov. 4, they'd already proven the turnaround was in full swing. But when they came out of a three-and-a-half hour weather delay and stormed past the Nittany Lions, it meant the Spartans were in contention for the Big Ten East title, something few would have predicted before the season.
Season highlight 3: Aside from the one-sided loss to Ohio State, the defense proved throughout the season it was quickly returning to what had become expected under Dantonio. The run defense was dominant for most of the season while the pass rush returned and the Spartans got back to creating turnovers. Defense has been MSU's calling card and 2017 proved that will still be the case moving forward.
More: Clemson No. 1 in College Football Playoff; MSU No. 16
Season lowlight 1: There was cautious optimism heading into a week three matchup with Notre Dame, but by the end of the night at Spartan Stadium the Spartans had handed away a 20-point loss. The frustrating part was allowing the Irish to score 21 points off three turnovers, leaving the Spartans with the feeling they had given the game away.
Season lowlight 2: Almost nothing good came out of the trip to Ohio State as the Buckeyes handed the Spartans a monumental whipping. MSU entered the game with a shot to win the Big Ten East but allowed a record 335 yards on the ground and were never in the game.
Season lowlight 3: The fact Michigan State could never consistently run the ball had to be one of the big disappointments. There was plenty of depth at running back but the Spartans were inexperienced on the offensive line and it resulted in just two 100-yard rushing games from a back (both from LJ Scott) as the Spartans rarely took over games running the ball.
Key player arriving: Four-star tight end Trenton Gillison could have a chance to make an immediate impact at a position that had limited production this season. Junior Matt Sokol had trouble hanging on to the ball while the opportunities were limited for redshirt freshman Noah Davis and freshman Matt Dotson. It leaves the door open for the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Gillison to play early.
Key player departing: It's a bit out of the box considering he's not a senior, but odds are LJ Scott heads to the NFL a year early. He didn't have the season many expected but that might not matter in the decision-making process. Coupled with Gerald Holmes' graduation, that would leave Madre London and a bunch of youngsters in the backfield.

Hammersley Family, October 2019
We loved our holiday to Salema Beach Village - all the great offerings of a resort (good pool, pool bar, playground and 24hr reception) but not too big! Within walking distance of the village and beach, and quick drive to many other lovely beaches and places to visit. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the resort is very well looked after. The villa was a great size and everything you could need - including plenty of toys to keep our little one amused! A lovely basket of food and essentials was waiting for us which was a fantastic start. Our experience of Tots to Travel has been great - I would highly recommend.
Sage Family, October 2019
Silk Family, October 2019
Great first experience of Tots to Travel. Would definitely book again.
Fletcher Family, October 2019
Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The Tots to Travel service made life so much easier and more relaxing, especially the range of indoor and outdoor toys. The property, it's staff and cleanliness cannot be faulted and we cannot recommend it enough. It was just a short walk to the beach and restaurants, with the added bonus of the free shuttle service to avoid the steep hill, when we wanted to take it a bit easier. The property itself is so well equipped and we were very grateful for the lovely hampers when we arrived. A brilliant holiday for families with little ones.
Le Digabel Family, October 2019
The resort, the villa, the staff were all incredible. There wasn't a thing missing, well thought through from the Essential Kit to the reception of the resort going above and beyond to be at our service.
Barbour Family, September 2019
We had an amazing holiday at Salema Beach. My daughter is nearly 4 years old and has autism. This was our first time abroad with her and when we discovered Tots to Travel it made complete sense for us from a safety perspective. We were not disappointed. The apartment was superb and essential kit well thought through. Her bedroom was adorable and she loved the pool. The walk to the beach is steep although we did manage it one day but would advise using the shuttle service which is provided by the resort. The pool was never too busy although we went out of season in mid September so am not sure what it would be like during school holidays. The staff were very friendly and helpful and communication from Tots to Travel was seamless. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Family stayed September 2019
The holiday and set up was excellent!!
Family stayed September 2019
Fabulous family-friendly holiday. Villa was exceptional, so much space! Pool and snack bar great too. Don't be put off by the hill down to the beach, the shuttle service is fast, efficient and regular.
Family stayed September 2019
Lovely holiday. Spacious apartment. Great pool for little ones. Baby and toddler loved the toys. Nearby beach a hit too. Exceeded expectations!
Heylin-Smith Family, September 2019
With a 2 and a 5 year old in tow it's hard to get a decent break, but this holiday did it. We looked at all inclusive and decided they just weren't us, and really didn't want to all be sharing a family room in a hotel. With two small sleeping children that's just not fun! The villa was huge and suited us brilliantly. Service was great and breakfasts were very family friendly. Salema is a lovely village with a great beach.
Pesut Family, September 2019
We had a really great holiday and the villa was perfect for travelling with kids. Our kids just loved the toys and the garden area. Basically we had everything we needed right there.
Bunting Family, August 2019
Lovely, family friendly holiday! Our kids especially loved the toys and the shared garden.
Ruddick Family, July 2019
Brilliant holiday, so glad we went with Tots it was very safe for toddler. Very friendly we didn't want to leave.
Waite Family, July 2019
The villa was a lovely spec and the toys we're very age appropriate - the books were great and our little ones loved reading them. Maybe a few more books so when reading 2-3 a day there could be more variety. The villa cleaning service was a nice surprise and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The shuttle bus from the villa to the beach was my 20 month olds favourite part!! Swimming was a good activity, but the pool was very cold every day and the surrounding area had particularly slippery tiles - not ideal for toddlers as other tiling options are available and more safe. We had to swim for 10 mins max and then get out to warm up before going in and out another few times which was a bit of a shame and hassle with a toddler. Food was lovely and we were well looked after every morning - the choice of brekkie was great.
Ruddick Family, July 2019
Fabulous holiday. Villa very well kitted out excellent for our two yr old. Loved all the safety features. Staff very friendly and helpful. A wonderful holiday enjoyed by all.
Sutherland Family, July 2019
Salema Beach Village was the perfect holiday. The villas are of a really high standard and the kids loved the 'Tots' perks such as their colourful bedroom and toy corner. Salema itself is a beautiful village and it was an added bonus that we could easily walk there and get the mini bus or golf buggy (which the kids loved!) back up the hill. We will definitely be returning to Salema.
Turquand Family, July 2019
We travelled to Portugal and stayed in a Tots to Travel villa, in a wonderful resort called Salema Beach Village. From the communication, to the layout and safety of the villa, plus all provided equipment etc, was just brilliant. So well thought-out. Tots to Travel are a brilliant and super professional company, we'll be looking with them again without a doubt! Highly recommended!
Collett Family, July 2019
The holiday was great, with 3 little ones is never easy, but all the toys and facilities made all very easy and we had a great times thanks.
Matthews Family, July 2019
Absolutely perfect family holiday. My 3 year old had a fantastic time with lots for him to do. My husband and I love the peace of Salema village
Thomas Family, July 2019
This was our first trip abroad with our 3 year old and 10 month old twins and we had a fantastic time. All the toys and baby friendly items were excellent and made everything so much easier. I have already recommended Tots to Travel to friends and would be happy to use again. Salema Beach Village was great, it is a small resort which suited us. The pool is unheated and was a bit chilly, so the babies didn't last long in there. The other pointer if mention is it's quite far to restaurants if you have kids so we used the pool cafe quite a bit, which was fine.
Mullally Family, June 2019
Beautiful villa everything you needed for a young family inside. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. My first time to travel with Tots to Travel would highly recommend and will definitely use them again.
Rowland Family, June 2019
Loved this holiday! Everything was perfect for enjoying a holiday with 2 toddlers
Rowland Family, June 2019
Tots to Travel is the best way to enjoy a holiday with young children. We didn't have to worry about a thing. All the practical stuff was sorted: stairgates, bed rails, potty, plastic cutlery and crockery. And all the fun stuff was sorted: an abundance of toys and books inside and a trolley full of toys for the kids to play with and share with neighbouring kids outside. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Hadley Family, June 2019
This was our first trip with Tots to Travel and I was very impressed. You had covered everything and we had a fantastic holiday as a result.
Harvey Family, June 2019
Spotlessly clean and generously sized villas with a fab selection of toys, books etc for the kids. Car is definitely required but the few restaurants in Salema did fabulous food. Cabanas beach restaurant on the way to Burgau was great - fab uncrowded beach and fantastic cocktails and food. Buy a paddling pool for the kids and fill yourselves as the pools may be too cold for them (we went mid June!)
Hunter Family, June 2019
The village was beautifully presented and well maintained, whilst the centre of Salema still preserves some of its original charm. The staff could not have been more helpful and dealt with every request promptly and in a friendly way.
Vause Family, May 2019
Our holiday was perfect! The resort staff were excellent very attentive and very patient with my shy babe. The villa was perfect and ample space for four adults and two little ones. The shuttle into the village was an amazing asset to the resort as the hill is pretty steep! Will definitely book with Tots to Travel again!
Harvey Family, May 2019
We just spent a glorious 9 days at Salema Beach Village. The villa was modern and totally spotless and very spacious. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Especially the pool bar staff and Andre who drives the shuttle to the beach and back. The hill is extremely steep the shuttle service is worth it's weight in gold! The beach is superb and we even saw dinosaur footprints which delighted the kids. The restaurants in the village are child friendly and well worth visiting especially if you like the fresh fish caught that day! I would be hard pushed to improve this holiday but if I had to think of one thing it missed it would be a kids club.
Sommerville Family, May 2019
We were blown away by how good our holiday with Tots to Travel was. The villa was beautiful and spotless and the toys and kit available were amazing. The photos really didn't do the villa justice and we really could not fault it at all. Thank you for making our first family holiday feel out of this world. I can't recommend Tots to Travel enough.
Ryder Family, May 2019
We were so impressed with every aspect of our holiday. It was easy to book, all of the kit that we needed was provided and the standard of accommodation was excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Tots to Travel and also the villa that we stayed in. Our 2 year old daughter was so pleased with the toys, the pool and her big girl bedroom!
Payne Family, May 2019
We had a fantastic family holiday at Salema Beach Village. The villa was huge and very clean and modern. Daily cleaning and extensive breakfast at the lovely little pool bar made this feel like the best of both worlds - the space and freedom of a self-catering place, along with the extra service you'd get in a hotel. The toys and books were fantastic and kept our little ones (aged 1 and 2) busy all week. Stair gates were a massive bonus. It's the first family holiday where we've been able to relax. Our only complaint was that the pool was too cold for the little ones at the beginning of May. We took the free golf buggy service down into Salema a couple of times. It's a small village with a huge beach that was very quiet at this time of year. We had a hire car and did lots of little trips out. I think you'd feel a bit stuck without a car unless the weather is beach perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
Wickes Family, May 2019
The resort is lovely and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Our daughter loved the indoor and outdoor toys and never wanted to leave the swimming pool. It's not heated so going in May it was quite chilly, didn't put off our daughter at all! Breakfast was excellent and exceeded our expectations. We had the occasional lunch and dinner here too and it was good too. The local village has a nice selection of restaurants. The beach is small but perfectly formed. We picked this location based on the facilities and that you could do without a car. I think we would be braver and hire a car next time, as we were quite limited. We are definitely considering coming back next year!
Cleary Family, May 2019
We went with a 4 month old and a toddler, the villa was fantastic, and the staff couldn't do enough to help us, have already recommended to others.
Willers Family, April 2019
We absolutely enjoyed our very first holiday at Salema. Shops like Intermarche, Lidl within 10 minutes drive. Portimao has a shopping Centre, Jumbo is like Dunnes, stocks everything. Holi Diwali is a fantastic Indian Restaurant in Sagres run by a guy from Punjab. Exceptional food.
McGuire & Dearden Family, April 2019
We had a lovely stay here. The villa and resort as a whole surpassed our expectations. The children (toddler and a 3 year old) were delighted with the toys and books, which were plentiful and in excellent condition. The equipment provided for children (high chair, monitor, plastic cutlery, travel cot etc) was also of really good quality and it was so convenient not to have to bring it all ourselves, especially when travelling with a budget airline! Breakfast was tasty with lots of choice for adults and kids alike and friendly and helpful service. We visited in April which meant the pool was quite cold (a heated kids pool would have been brilliant) but we still had lots of fun, including at the nearby park and the beautiful beach. We visited 2 restaurants in Salema Village, both of which were child friendly and we would happily recommend. We would definitely come here again.
Hilton Family, April 2019
A fabulous set up and wonderful apartment - I would wholeheartedly recommend Tots to Travel.
Family stayed June 2018
It would be almost impossible to fault the accommodation at Salema Beach Village. Clean, contemporary, user friendly, spacious, luxurious - the superlatives could just keep coming. In fact my granddaughter was so smitten with the apartment she said she would happily live there forever! The beach at Salema is astonishingly beautiful - soft, golden sand and safe sea. Wonderful restaurants, but nothing over developed or spoilt.
Family stayed April 2018
We visited with 3 generations of our family and all loved it! Villa was immaculate and met all our needs - we had a 3 bedroom house with loads of terraces. The staff are fantastic - so friendly and happy to help. The location at the top of a small fishing village was perfect.
Family stayed September 2017
This holiday is everything I wished for . The accommodation was amazing.The staff couldn't do enough for us. From the staff in the pool bar to the reception staff. The staff take you down to the town by golf buggy and collect you at the time you require. There is also a mini bus that takes and collects you every hour. I would certainly return. A perfect family holiday!

We have hand-picked these villas for their proximity to the pool and resort facilities. They are set over two floors with a patio and large balcony and provide plenty of space for families with busy tots in tow. The decor is contemporary and the living space is on the top floor to make the most of the views. A floorplan is available to view in the image gallery above.
Parent Point:
Each villa has a large balcony off the living room which is great for al fresco family meals. A fabulous roof terrace with stunning views can be accessed via gated stairs on the balcony. A great spot to relax with the baby monitor when the little ones are asleep, but not safe for use by children.
Downstairs the patio area has a couple of sunloungers and leads on to a shared lawned garden which is fully enclosed. There is plenty of space for playing here; it's perfect for tots to get busy with all those toys we've provided!
Parking is available close to the villa. If you plan to explore the local area then a car is recommended.
The pool area is a short walk from the Tots villas and Salema village is only about 500m with the beach a further 300m, but it is quite an incline back up to the villa. A frequent and free shuttle service is provided so you can get back hassle free.

Custom Playsets New York
Playset Safety and Fun for Children
Taking your child to the park is fun, the child gets the benefits of fresh air and exercise and so does the adult with them. However, sometimes the park is a far distance away and constant supervision is vital. If you're an average person with a full-time job and little time to care for the essential duties of life such as housework, cooking, and paying bills, it's difficult to make time to take children to the park to play.
An excellent solution to this problem is to securely fence the yard then have safe and durable playsets for children from Adventure World. Our playsets can be customized to fit the needs and desires of individual families to provide optimum fun and exercise for children, while offering safe equipment.
Benefits of Exercise
Children need exercise to maintain their well-being physically and emotionally. Spending time playing, climbing, swinging, and exercising helps reduce tension and gives needed exercise to control weight. Video games and television are engrossing, but keeping a child well balanced between these games and exercise on a playground helps them learn and grow, providing much needed gross motor development.
Swing Set Safety
Adventure World Play Sets has the most custom swing sets NY has to offer, including a myriad of safety features. They are created with a full covering of vinyl to protect your child from splinters and the playset from deterioration. Textured polyvinyl is used for all of the decking and rock walls to increase traction. Ladders feature non-slip steps and safety rails.
Adventure World Play Sets provides the most superior safety features for swing sets LI and NY residents could ask for:
- Rubber-coated swing chains and seats provide a pinch-free grip
- Stainless steel swing chains to prevent rusting
- Heavy-duty swing hangers with spring clips for easy height adjustment
- Two ground anchors included with each swing beam
- No overhead climbers with swings attached
Adventure World has a full 20-year warranty for playsets installed at private residences. Accessories such as plastic sliding boards, chutes, turbo slides, towers, and monkey bars can be added. Colored rubber mulch, mats, and curbing are available if the consumer wants. Consider creating a delightful area for your children to play safely and give us a call today!

Four years ago, Kate Steinle was killed by an illegal alien who claimed that the shooting was accidental, sparking a national debate about American border security. The suspect, who was eventually acquitted on murder, involuntary manslaughter, and assault with a deadly weapon charges, had been previously deported from the United States five times.
Who: Kate Steinle, 32, an American citizen, was shot and killed by José Inez García Zárate, an illegal alien.
What: Zárate was a five-time deportee from the United States, who crossed the border with ease.
Where: San Francisco, California.
When: 2015.
Why it matters: Border security has been a hotly debated issue in the era of President Donald J. Trump. Steinle, who was with her father when she was shot, would likely be alive today but for lax border security. Trump has attempted to secure the Southern border, but has been blocked by establishment GOPers like the Koch Brothers, who profit from cheap, illegal labor and lobby GOP politicians to keep the border open, and Democrats who benefit from illegals who fraudulently vote, and an overall shift in voter demographics.

Mon, 01/04/2019 The new DSS Cashless Debit Card (CDC)
The controversial Department of Social Services Cashless debit cards is now moving to trial which we are involved in.
Mon, 01/04/2019 VANA Industry Awards 2019
It is our pleasure to say a massive congratulations to our clients who won the prestigious VANA Industry Awards at the divine Plaza Ballroom on Saturday night and who basically took up all the awards.
I know most of these people personally, and I know they worked tirelessly in their businesses.
We wish them our good wishes.
The newsagent of the year was won by our client - Mentone Newsagency, check out their website to see what they do and what they do.
Tue, 02/04/2019 Retail Customer Retention
Typically in retail today, they say that about 20% of your customers today will never buy from you again. If it costs you $50 to $100 to acquire a new customer then for every 1,000 customers a year replacing those 200 lost customers is costing a retailer between $10,000 to $20,000 a year. This figure is almost certainly based on large retailers, not SMB but it does show the extent of the problem.
Wed, 03/04/2019 Google+ gone
Yesterday we had an example of how quickly and ruthlessly a major corporation can move with BigW closing 30 stores in Australia with probably another 30 to go soon.
Thu, 04/04/2019 Charging interest to your clients
Issuing credit to a customer in a business is often an unwelcome necessity.
This our point of sale software can do, but because of the recent changes in credit laws, we have had to change our system slightly. Today with many of my clients, the number of people who credit has been issued too and the outstanding figures are becoming now extremely high so much it has become a necessity to charge their clients costs.
Mon, 08/04/2019 Planogram a discussion
A planogram is a diagram that indicates the placement of retail products on shelves to maximise sales.
It does not have to be rocket science, here are two planograms, the top one will cost you nothing to make and will take you once you age organised less than an hour, details here and here.
Tue, 09/04/2019 Low cost way to speed up your computers
Point of sale computers needs to run fast particularly at the front counter. If you're thinking about a cheap way of speeding up your computers, then almost certainly adding more RAM to your computer will do more to speed up your computer than any other upgrade you can make.
Wed, 10/04/2019 Investment allowance and the elections
The tax writes off as it works for an SMB currently if it wanted to buy a point of sale system for $5,000.
Now it does not cost a business $5,000 as it can claim the GST. So 10% of this is GST which will be coming straight back, so the proposed cost is $4,545.45
- 100% of this would be allowed as depreciation
- If the company tax rate says 27.5%, which means the business will get back $1,250 in income tax credit.
Wed, 10/04/2019 Finally the elections coming
Unless the press is wrong again on May 18, it looks like we are going to an election. It could not happen quick enough in my view, I have never seen the economy brought to such a halt over an election. Clearly to business the issues are not minor here.
Thu, 11/04/2019 Keep your POS software information right
Today business is all about information and control.
When I talk to large organisations they know what they are you selling, they know their margins, their basket size, etc. The essential information though, is that they know their trends of what it is that is selling. Ultimately they know where their business is going NOW.
Fri, 12/04/2019 Promotion ID
John Wanamaker is credited with the saying that "Half the money, I spend advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half".
This is a common problem in business. We go to a lot of trouble and money making some advertisements. We sell some goods now the question asked is did the advertisements have much to do with it? It can be very hard to tell.
Mon, 15/04/2019 Use technology to use Your Shelf Space Effectively
What retailers need to do is identify the stock that their customers want and can see when they come into the shop.
If the customer does not see it, then many will not buy it.
What you need is your hot stock in a prominent display that shows off this product so that your customers know exactly where to go to find it.
Let us find them
Go to your cash register reports
Tue, 16/04/2019 Thinking of a website, what is the name?
With our POS Software, you can have an integrated website. That is a big plus. Then what you will have is a shop that can take orders all the time.
Now what you need to consider is a name for your online shop. Here are some points I recommend for an Australia shop.
Wed, 17/04/2019 Large cameras on the tills
Woolworths is now following Coles' lead in installing large security cameras and screens on the top of self-serve checkouts.
This is being done worldwide. Here is a picture of Tesco, a large chain in the UK doing it too.
Thu, 18/04/2019 A Sign to Speed up your Checkout
A quick way to often speed up and make rules in the shop is to put a sign-up.
Fri, 19/04/2019 Easter Break
We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy long weekend.
Our office is currently staffed by a limited group but our team is on call for all of your emergency Point of Sale Software needs.
Sat, 20/04/2019 Your Privacy in Windows 10
Here is a famous picture of the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg showing his Facebook likes here.
What happened is that when people blew up the picture where I put the arrow in what they found was this.
Mon, 22/04/2019 Your sales security indicators
Because retailers often have multiple cashiers at the register, the POS system, a retailer needs each operator their own user profiles so tracking individual sales and monitoring sales goals becomes possible. If you give each operator their own till then all the operator needs to do is log in at the start of their till and balance at the end. Otherwise, each operator should be logging in with each new sale.
Tue, 23/04/2019 Uptake of a loyalty program
In the retail point of sale, one problem seen with loyalty programs is that retailers want new customers, but often the primary users of the loyalty programs are the existing high users. So when they are starting a loyalty program what they tend to see is that they are giving a discount to customers that they already have.
Thu, 25/04/2019 ANZAC Day today
Please be advised that our after-hours and emergency support will be running at non-stop on ANZAC Day today. It is available both for urgent and standard calls.
Fri, 26/04/2019 Having a fast till
Many retailers at the Point of Sale have a till which is the fast till. On this till, they discourage any slow transactions. For example if you want to ring up items on account, you are encouraged to use another till.
At my pharmacist, I was surprised that now on their fast till they have this sign
Mon, 29/04/2019 Dual touch screens
What most people like about them is they are ideal for places where space is at a premium. What people like is that they can quickly be adjusted to provide an optimal viewing angle for the people serving and the customer.
Tue, 30/04/2019 Short term Product Placement
As a rule, top-selling items should be at eye level in the shop in the highest selling areas. This helps to encourage even more sales. The problem is that many items are only short-term sellers and are difficult to identify. For example, I am sure over the next three weeks, Game of Throne products will sell well but once the series is over product sales of these items will fall off.

Improving user interactions with top news displayer
On the front page, there is a top news/story displayer that constantly switches between the various stories.
Currently, there are two problems with this:
First, the title of the story is not link when it should be. I think you will find that most users will think that the title is a link, as is often the case, when it is not.
Second, the clickable space for switching between the different stories is too small. I can't find the research paper on this right now, but increasing the interaction space is nearly almost always helpful. It may also be useful to have small vertical space on both sides of the currently displaying story to switch to the last one.
Thanks for the suggestions. We are working on adding ability to filter through newsroom entries directly on the home page as a solution to this problem.

- Earnings per share SEK 10.88 kr (9.86)
- Started investment of MSEK 310 in new extrusion plant for increased capacity
- The Board is proposing a dividend of SEK 5.00 per share (4.50)
Per Thorsell, CEO of ProfilGruppen, comments:
"The last quarter of the year ends with a somewhat weaker result compared to the previous year, which to a large extent was caused by unused capacity. In the fourth quarter there is a seasonal effect of lower volumes, that in combination with a quick cut from a larger customer resulted in a temporary decrease in demand. During the year all extrusion lines have been working weekends and to ensure the achieved knowledge of new employees we decided to keep the capacity also during the last quarter. This constitutes an important build up of capability and a corner stone in our continued growth with the future venture of a new extrusion facility.
The profit of the year is the highest so far in the history of the company, even though we have been focusing a lot on our large future ventures as the start up of a new production line in PG&WIP, the construction of a new extrusion line and the work with a new IT system. At the same time we have been taking new business and delivering more profiles than ever, with maintained accuracy of delivery. Great praise to all the coworkers who have made this possible and who shown the knowledge and strength in ProfilGruppen. Now we are looking forward to a year when we will finish the projects and continue to give our customers the service we are famous for simultaneously."
