Selecting the best-suited wines to pair with your restaurant menu that will satisfy your clienteles' expectation is a critical step in achieving the overall experience you envision for your brand. Whether you want your establishment to be known as a wine destination offering some of the best wines in the world, or you want to offer the best value for wine in your local area, your wine goals need to be aligned with your business goals and dining experience.
Jenny Companion, VP of Eastern Operations for The Fifteen Group, has supported many restaurants with this process, and shares the key points to consider when selecting the right wine for your restaurant.
Menu Pairing: Food and wine or wine and food?
The traditional process is to develop your recipes to create your menu, and then select wines that pair with the dishes. In addition, you will take into account the guest experience you are creating, to ensure that the wines match this experience. For example, if you are only using local food suppliers and want to brand yourself as an establishment that supports local businesses with a farm to table process, then you will most likely select local wines to carry as well.
However, if your goal is to be a wine bar, then your process will likely lead with creating a wine menu first, and then working with your chef to design dishes that pair with select wines. Your menu presentation may reflect this process too by organizing the wines first and the food second.
In either case, the main goal should be to ensure your wine choices are reflecting the overall guest experience you are designing.
Wine Selection – Consignment vs Big Brands
Figuring out where to begin your wine search can be quite daunting, as there are hundreds of wine suppliers throughout the world, each offering you something unique. To simplify the process we recommend meeting with local wine agencies that offer an extensive portfolio of wines you can choose from. There are many benefits to partnering with one or multiple wine agencies:
Unique Wines– A wine agency carries consignment wines that may not be readily available at a local liquor or wine store, thus allowing you to offer a unique wine assortment. This has its advantages when guests get attached to a wine only you offer! In terms of costing, a consignment wine that is not readily available may be priced at a value you choose, allowing you to increase your margins.
As some agencies specialize in certain wines, we also suggest that our clients work with multiple wine agencies to increase the breadth of their assortment and to create an even more custom wine menu.
Simplified Process– You are simplifying the supplier/client relationship by dealing with one account manager to support your products and business. One account manager will dedicate more one on one time, plus they are likely to offer you incentives and savings, training for your staff, and host tastings for your guests to promote the wines you offer. In addition, the larger agencies tend to have a dedicated wine sommelier that can pair their offerings to your menu for an added bonus.
Stem Wine Group is a great example of a wine agency that offers a competitive assortment and great client support. They offer wines from 49 wineries with a special focus on all regions of Italy, more key wines from California, Argentina, New Zealand, France, Spain, and several quality wines from Australia.
Size of Wine Assortment
For a smaller establishment, a mix of 15-20 wines is typically enough to offer something for each guests' preferences, including white and red wine, and a rose option. Larger establishments wine menus should include 20-40 wines as a benchmark, but for a fine dining or higher-end restaurant the wine menu will be much more extensive with hundreds of wines, from many different regions, with a wide price range.
Seasonally your wine sales will fluctuate based upon seasonal preferences. For example, more red wine tends to be consumed in fall and winter, and more white and rose wines during spring and summer months. I always suggest restaurants bring in new options seasonally as guests pallets change or your menu changes, to expand your wine offering and have guests experience new wines.
Wine Price Range
First and foremost, the cost of the wine and price you set for the wine needs to match with the guest experience and expectation. The wine price range should also be in alignment with your food prices. For example, if your main meal costs begin at $18.00, then it wouldn't make sense for your wines by the glass costs to begin at $18.00. Also keep in mind that the margin for a glass of wine may be slighter higher than when selling wine by the bottle, as typically most diners will purchase wine by the glass, especially during lunch service.
An appealing wine menu offers guests a few options at low, mid and higher price ranges so they can make the decision based upon the occasion and budget, and what will pair appropriately with their menu choices.
Hiring a Professional Sommelier
A trained sommelier understands the finest details about wine from around the world and will take a more educated approach to selecting which wines are best for your restaurant.
They have insight into which years have produced the best wines from certain regions, trending labels versus old world wines, the space required in your restaurant to store wine and how it should be organized. Sommeliers are also trained on how much wine should be poured and at what cost, which is beneficial for wine costing and inventory management.
They are the ideal partner to have when visiting wineries and wine suppliers for tastings, as they can easily navigate the industry and connect you to the right suppliers, which in the end will save you time.
Let's stay connected!

Three major shopping centre check in different districts of Moscow after an anonymous call with the message about «mining», told RIA Novosti in emergency services in the capital.
«Received calls with a bomb threat three shopping centers «Capitol», «Hudson» and «Good» in the Western, southern and Northern administrative districts of Moscow», — said the Agency interlocutor.
According to him, experts are checking the premises of all three shopping centers.
You personally touched a telephone threat about a mining of buildings in Russian cities?
- Yes, I was(uh) in one of these buildings during evacuation
- I personally have not seen(eh), but family and friends got under evacuation
- Learned(a) about the incident from the news
- Not heard anything(a) about the evacuation
Yes, I was(uh) in one of these buildings during evacuation
I personally have not seen(eh), but family and friends got under evacuation
Learned(a) about the incident from the news
Not heard anything(a) about the evacuation
All prosypaetsya-scale wave of telephone terrorism began in Russia on September 11. During this time in 180 cities of the country was mined about 3.5 thousand buildings. A mass evacuation has affected a total of nearly 2.5 million people. According to the Moscow Department of the FSB, a wave of anonymous calls covered 75 of the 85 regions of Russia. Evaluation of the special services, only in the capital costs of «mining» amounted to 150 million rubles.
As stated in December, Deputy interior Minister Igor Zubov, the damage from telephone terrorism in the country is already billions of rubles. The Agency believes this is a real cyber attack on Russia, made, for the most part, from places of concentration of terrorists in Syria, but also Turkey, Ukraine, USA and Canada. In fact, false reports of terrorism instituted almost 3 thousand criminal cases. In any case, the bomb threat was not confirmed.

The kids have been begging to go to the "pumpkin patch" for almost a month now. It is located at a church less than a mile from our house and we pass it several times a day. I put it off until all of us could go together. Today was the day! We told the kids that we had a surprise for them and headed off. They squealed with delight when we pulled into the parking lot. I wonder if they realize that pumpkins grow on a vine in a field, rather than in a church yard.Little Man chose the perfect little pumpkin.
Tater carried this little pumpkin around like a baby doll.

Previous studies investigating steroidogenic enzymes in the brain have often focused on only a few genes at a time, using animal models or pooled human RNA to investigate their expression. For this study, we obtained RNA from individual archived human brain tissue samples in order to analyse the transcription of twelve genes involved with steroid biosynthesis and metabolism within the cerebellum and hippocampus.
We developed realtime RT-PCR assays for twelve genes involved in steroid biosynthesis and metabolism. Assays specificities and efficiencies were verified using human adrenal RNA. Following approval by the Local Resesarch Ethics Committee, frozen paired samples of human hippocampus and cerebellum were selected from the collection of postmortem brains held at the University of Glasgow (n=9 cases). Total RNA was isolated, DNased, reverse transcribed and then subjected to realtime PCR on an Applied Biosystems PRISM 7900HT machine using fluorogenic probes. Data were corrected relative to GAPDH expression and analysed using the REST384 program.
PCR of hippocampus and cerebellum cDNA samples resulted in the consistent detection of transcripts from the genes CYP11A1 (side-chain cleavage enzyme), HSD3B2 (3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase), CYP21B (21-hydroxylase), CYP19 (aromatase), SRD5A2 (5α-reductase), HSD17B3 (17β-HSD3), HSD17B5 (17β-HSD5), HSD17B7 (17β-HSD7) and 11BHSD1 (11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1).
In contrast to our previous studies of the rat brain, no evidence for CYP11B1 (11β-hydroxylase) or CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) transcription in the human hippocampus and cerebellum was observed. 17α-Hydroxylase (CYP17) mRNA was also not detected.
This study shows that important differences exist between the human and rat brain in terms of steroidogenic gene expression. Furthermore, while it suggests that synthesis of aldosterone and cortisol, as well as de novo production of estradiol and testosterone, is not possible in human cerebellum and hippocampus, it appears likely that a more restricted pattern of steroid biosynthesis may exist fuelled by steroid precursors from other sources.

Eight of Swords
My self-study of Tarot continues with the Eight of Swords. Or, as I just heard, "Tied up."
First Impressions
Down on your luck; downtrodden; penned in; imprisoned; prison of the mind; self-torture; boxed in.
Swords, blindfold, binds, distant castle, rivulets of water.
The shallow water at the feet of the woman draw my attention. There's some emotional turmoil here, yes, and yet the obvious shallowness of the water is important, because there's less here than what the woman chooses to feel. It could be said that she let her emotion-driven egoic reactions get the best of her.
Orange, tan, red, blue, green, lavender, white, silver, gray.
The beautiful lavender dolor behind the woman feel suitably ironic, given her predicament. Lavender evokes calm and strength; balance and harmony. The woman evokes the opposite.
What the Guide Says About the Eight of Swords
"A woman bound and hoodwinked, with the swords of the card about her.
"Divinatory Meanings: Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny – also sickness. Reversed: Disquiet, difficulty, opposition, accident, treachery, the unforeseen fatality."
Trammels: a restriction or impediment to someone's freedom of action.
Calumny: the making of false and defamatory statements in order to damage someone's reputation; slander.
For me, it seems like the reversed keywords and terms double-down on the divinatory meanings. Instead of offering some framework of opposites, they're more of the same, albeit offering some different concepts.
What We Say About the Eight of Swords
Beholden to her ego, the woman finds herself trapped within the confines of her making.
Languishing in an emotional stew without acknowledgement of the power to release oneself.
Operating under the false pretenses of a powerless ego.
Other Impressions
Powerless (by choice, although it may seem otherwise)
Bound up (could reference a medical condition)
Futility as an operating system
I Might Ask a Client…
"What self-limitations prevent you from moving forward in life?"
"How might you resolve and dissolve what keeps you from seeing your greatness?"
What comes up for you around this card?

The neutral that matters most this season comes in tones of smoke and silver. Your gang will totally dig going gray.
The minute we heard Jessica Simpson was engaged, we started putting together her wedding. (You're welcome, Jess!)
Today's takes on the Victorian look work on many figures. Antique-y jewels emphasize the vintage attitude.
Be on the lookout for flowing empire dresses, sheaths that shimmer like the sea, and jeweled details that leave a glittering spray in their wake.
We scouted stellar Napa Valley and Sonoma County venues—one to suit every bride.

Twenty-one year old rookie Aaron Wise made a miracle chip-in par late Saturday at the Wells Fargo Championship.
On Sunday he was just as impressive.
The former Oregon Duck golfer fired a final-round 68, three-under par, the best of any players who finished in the top 10.
At one point, Wise found himself tied for the lead at 10-under par after Jason Day made back-to-back bogeys at the 13th and 14th holes. Wise birdied the 14th to get to 10-under then played some clutch golf with three pars over the dreaded "Green Mile" closing holes.
He was looking at a solo second until Nick Watney holed a bomb from 59 feet at the 72nd hole to join Wise at 10-under par.
"I thought I legitimately had a chance to win," Wise said after recording his best finish ever on the PGA Tour. "It was up and down for me today. At times I felt super calm then I'd get excited and I'd have to calm myself down. I played really great golf coming in."
It was the third time in four days that Wise shot 68 and this was only his 25th appearance.
Wise needed a win to make it into next week's Players Championship but this tie for second will go a long way toward getting him in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
He may not be in The Players but his length off the tee and iron display at Quail Hollow put everyone on notice that there's another young talent ready to win.

What to do? What to wear?
Wondering how to prepare for your engagement photo session? Well, I was directed to a great blog entry HERE, which I'm going to share with you here almost in it's entirety, almost completely verbatim (along with some of my peanut gallery comments added in)! So, here are some things to keep in mind when you are prepping for your session (and in many ways, this is applicable for any session with CSP) 1. Outfits. There are so many different ways to go on this, and so much different advice out there. So I'm going to stick to the top three bits of clothing advice we like to offer.
a) Don't wear a lot of solid white. Especially anything big and bulky and all-white. Just don't do it. White adds ten pounds on camera. It's an optical illusion at its meanest. Now, that said, this is not THE RULE. If you have a white outfit that you feel you look fantastic in and makes you feel gorgeous? Wear it.
b) Complimenting each other without being matchy-matchy. The key is to select colors that compliment each other and are in the same color family, but aren't identical. Showing who you are with your own personal style is important. Then, choose something for him that matches you.
D) Yes to color and yes to great shoes! And accessories! If you're looking for an excuse to buy that dress you've always wanted but can't find a reason to buy one, a photo shoot is a good reason.
2. Be yourself.
A) Be happy. Be in love. You know how PDA (Public Displays of Affection, for those who haven't been to high school in awhile) kind-of grosses people out? It doesn't gross us out. So squeeze each other tight. Let the joy in. Remember how you felt the first time he said I love you. Remember your first date. Whatever gets you to that happy place. These are your rite-of-passage-pictures! Work the love!
b) I stole this from Jasmine Star (don't judge, haters. She's the coolest person ever and you wish you were her). Smile with your eyes. It works.
c) Open up and let us into that bond that the two of you share. We all put up walls in public and with those we've just met to keep ourselves from being humiliated. But we WANT to see the real you. Goofy, dorky, the fabulous model you were in your past life, whatever you are. We can skip the I'm normal facade. You don't have to be.
3) Enjoy yourself and have fun!

We might have come across the deadlock detected error for a IIS hosted web application. When the issue happens it gets automatically fixed as IIS will recycle the w3wp process once the error happens. So the data collection over here has to be automated some or the other way. Below are some of the deadlock detected entries that we might see.
1) ISAPI 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll' reported itself as unhealthy for the following reason: 'Deadlock detected'.

Bill Carmody is in his fourth season as the head men's basketball coach at the College of the Holy Cross in 2018-2019. He owns a career record of 326-291, after earning his 300th career victory when the Crusaders defeated Harvard 63-52 on Nov. 22, 2016.
During the 2017-2018 campaign, Carmody's squad reached the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament, while ranking second in the conference in scoring defense (67.7 points per game), field goal percentage defense (43.1 percent) and blocked shots (3.4 blocks per game). In 2016-2017, Holy Cross had the top defensive team in the Patriot League, leading the conference in scoring defense (62.1 points per game) and steals (9.4 steals per game). Carmody's team also led the Patriot League in turnover margin (+4.9 turnovers per game) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.23-to-1).
During the 2015-2016 season, Carmody led the Crusaders to their first NCAA Tournament victory since 1953 and their first Patriot League Tournament title since 2007. His team won all four of its Patriot League Tournament games on the road, becoming the first team in conference history to accomplish that feat. Holy Cross downed Lehigh 59-56 in the Patriot League championship game, before posting a 59-55 victory over Southern at the NCAA First Four in Dayton, Ohio.
The 17th head coach in the history of the program, Carmody joined the Crusaders with 32 years of Division I coaching experience, including 17 seasons as a head coach. From 2000-2013, Carmody served as the head coach at Northwestern University. In the four years from 2008-2012, he guided the Wildcats to four consecutive winning seasons, with his 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 teams both recording a then-school record 20 victories. Carmody, who previously spent four seasons as the head coach at Princeton University from 1996-2000, led his teams to eight postseason tournament appearances (two trips to the NCAA Tournament and six trips to the National Invitation Tournament) before joining the Crusaders. In addition, he was selected as the Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year in 2003-2004.
Over the years, Carmody has been nationally recognized as one of the top coaches in the college game. He has been labeled the best offensive coach in college basketball by Sports Illustrated. Sports Illustrated's college basketball writers have also voted him one of the 15 best coaches in the college game.
During the 2014-2015 season, Carmody served as a special assistant / advisor to the head coach at Fairfield University. He previously spent 13 seasons at Northwestern, guiding the Wildcats to one of the most successful stretches in the history of the program. He won 192 games during his time at Northwestern, good for the second-most victories in school history behind only Arthur Lonborg (236 wins / 1928-1949). Carmody's teams also made a school-record four straight postseason appearances from 2009-2012, with four consecutive trips to the National Invitation Tournament. In addition, the Wildcats won at least six Big Ten games in eight of his 13 years at the helm, after accomplishing that feat only six times in the previous 31 seasons.
Carmody's Northwestern teams were widely recognized for their willingness to share the basketball, while not turning it over. In each of his last seven seasons with the Wildcats, the team ranked in the top 15 in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio. Carmody's teams were also extremely proficient from beyond the three-point line during his time at Northwestern, with his squads occupying the top five spots in the school's record books for three-point field goals made in a season. In addition, his 2009-2010 team set a Big Ten record with 170 three-pointers made in conference games.
In 2010-2011, the Wildcats made the deepest postseason run in school history, advancing to the quarterfinal round of the National Invitation Tournament before falling in overtime at Washington State. Along the way, Carmody picked up career win No. 250 in Northwestern's Big Ten tournament victory over Minnesota.
The Wildcats' 10-1 start in 2009-2010 allowed them to earn their first national ranking in 41 years, coming in at No. 25 in the Associated Press poll on Dec. 28, 2009. Later that season, a victory over No. 6 Purdue at home marked the highest-ranked team Northwestern had defeated in 31 years. The Wildcats would finish the year by averaging a Big Ten-best 68.7 points per game in conference play, marking the first time they led the league in scoring since 1966-1967.
In 2008-2009, Carmody guided Northwestern to one of the top turnarounds in the country, leading them from eight wins the previous season to a then school regular-season record-tying 17 victories. The Wildcats also raised their conference win total from one to eight, marking the largest Big Ten increase since Minnesota went from three wins in 2003-2004 to 10 the following season. Along the way, Northwestern defeated ranked opponents in consecutive games for the first time in program history. The Wildcats beat No. 18 Minnesota at home before going on the road to top No. 7 Michigan State. Coupled with a win at No. 19 Purdue, Northwestern defeated two ranked teams on the road in the same season for the first time. The three wins over ranked teams were the school's most since the 1993-1994 campaign.
During the 2003-2004 season, Carmody earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors, after leading the Wildcats to an 8-8 mark in Big Ten play. The Wildcats' fifth place finish in the conference standings that year was their best since 1968-1969, while their 8-8 record was their best in league play since 1967-1968.
Prior to his time at Northwestern, Carmody was the head coach at Princeton from 1996-2000. During his four-year tenure, he guided the Tigers to an overall record of 92-25 (.786) and an Ivy League mark of 50-6 (.893), while leading the team to the postseason each year. His squad went 24-4 record in his first season (1996-1997), the third best first year mark for a Division I head coach in 30 years. Carmody followed that up with an even better sophomore campaign in 1997-1998, when Princeton finished with a 27-2 record, a Top 10 national ranking and advanced to the second round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament.
Carmody's Princeton team claimed the 1998 Rainbow Classic title in Hawaii with wins over Florida State, Texas and Charlotte on consecutive nights, and in the 1999 NIT they defeated Georgetown and North Carolina State before falling in the quarterfinal round. Princeton had winning streaks of 20 games and 19 games under Carmody (the two longest streaks in school history), and his teams set 31 school records during his tenure. He was also named the United States Basketball Writers' Association District II Coach of the Year and the New Jersey Coach of the Year each of his first two years. In addition, Carmody is one of only five men to coach a team to a perfect Ivy League record (in both 1996-1997 and 1997-1998), and is the only coach to do so in his first year.
From 1982-1996, Carmody served as an assistant coach at Princeton under Pete Carril. The Tigers made seven trips to the NCAA Tournament during his first 14 years on the staff, which included a victory over defending national champion UCLA in 1996. Carmody was previously an assistant coach at Providence for one year (1980-1981) and at Union College for four years (1976-1980). He began his career as the head coach at Fulton-Montgomery Community College in Johnstown, N.Y., leading the team to a 17-10 record and conference title in his only season there (1975-1976).
A native of Spring Lake, N.J., Carmody graduated from Union in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in history. A basketball standout, he led Union to a 59-11 record in three seasons as a starter. During his senior year, he captained the Dutchmen and was named first team All-ECAC as well as the school's Most Outstanding Athlete.
Carmody and his wife, Barbara, have two sons, Michael and Eddie.

I worked at Kmart in the late 70s. They paid us in cash. Yes, cash. We'd go, one at a time, into the Personnel Manager's office. She and a store Assistant Manager were there. She'd hand you an envelope with your cash, and ask you to count it before you leave, to verify you were paid correctly. The flap of the envelope documented your hours, pay, and deductions.
As you can probably guess, more than a little of that cash stayed behind at the store before we left for the day. I need peanut butter, I have cash... it follows.
What a great sales strategy for them. Had they given us a payroll check, and we took it to the bank, cashed or deposited it, then came back to the store to spend our hard-earned wages, some of those dollars might get spent elsewhere in the meantime.
Since bank accounts are free in many places, there's no excuse not to have one, but let's say you don't have an account. There are places that will cash your payroll check, such as Walmart, and your local bartender. If he knows you, and your boss.
Chances are not good that your company will cash your payroll check.
Today, you don't get a check any more. If you don't have a bank account for direct deposit, (which is required for government jobs and probably some others) then you get a debit card with the money "pre-loaded." It's all electronic, electrons bumping into other electrons as the so-called money "moves" from the company's account to the employee's.
We're back to the Kmart opti0n now, aren't we? I have a debit card with funds loaded. I think I'll swipe-swipe my little card at the checkout as I pick up peanut butter on my way out the door...
We've come full circle.
Now instead of spending our cash before we leave, we're swiping our debit card before we leave. Careful. It's easy to get "spendy" on payday. Especially when it doesn't look like money.
On what are you spending your hard earned money today?

Benzodiazepines or also referred as "benzos" are drugs that we use to treat many problems. These are stress or panic attacks, tensed muscles, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal.
People use Benzos with sleeping issues like insomnia. We give it as a first-line of treatment, and only for a short period. Benzos are also sedative drugs, Which slows down brain activity and causes a calming effect on the person. Misuse and abuse of benzos could lead to an overdose (OD) and can lead to a life-threatening case.
Symptoms of Benzodiazepines Overdose
Benzodiazepines overdose (OD) usually shows while a person takes more than the given dose. Mostly it happens when you mix this drug and other drugs or even alcohol. Below are the symptoms of benzos overdose:

Risk Factors of Benzodiazepines Overdose
Some benzos overdose solely depends on the person, and if they attempt to do the following:
- Increasing the doses of the drug
- Taking the drug more than given
- Injecting
- Combining the drug with other antidepressants medicines (CNS), barbiturates, opioid painkillers and alcohol
Benzodiazepine users may gain high tolerance on this drug. Hence, when in use for long periods. When this happens, and the user no longer feels the effect they wish. They might increase the use and doses. Therefore, increasing the use of benzos could result in an overdose. Overall, it would make you go to the hospital for medical help.
What to do if there is a case of Benzodiazepines overdose?
If you see someone taking benzos and is showing signs of overdose, don't wait to call for help. Call right away because every minute counts to save that person's life. You can save them from a life-threatening coma and death. If you are the one calling 911, be sure you provide correct information and detail of the affected person. As a result, the details the 911 teams will ask you are:
- Age and weight of the person
- Symptoms and details of the person
- Brand name of the benzodiazepine
- Time and amount of benzodiazepine took
- Where the person got the drug
When the medical team arrives, the person with benzodiazepine overdose will be brought to the closest hospital. Many medical treatment and tests will be performed to help to breathe. They will give fluids and other medicines to help. A doctor and nurses will try to reverse the side effects of an (OD). There are many drugs given to a person in an emergency and one is flumazenil. They can use it on the benzodiazepine receptor and reverse the sedative effects of the (OD). Flumazenil can be given to an unconscious person to regain consciousness and reduce the possibility of coma. Closely watching of the person's health is done to assess the side effects of an overdose. Recovery from ODing depends on the amount of drug that's in use and the person's condition.
How to prevent Benzodiazepines overdose?
Below are standard practices to prevent Benzodiazepines overdose:
- Comply strictly with the instruction from the doctor. Watch some doses, time of intake as well as the proper way to take the drug.
- Be aware of the side effects of the drugs you are taking. These include those medicines you can get over-the-counter.
- Don't mix the drug with other drugs and substances like alcohol.
- Notify your doctor immediately if you are feeling sick, and the side effects are affecting you. Either both physically and mentally.
- Keep drugs and other medications in a secure area like a cabinet with a lock.
- Don't take drugs which have past the expiry date.
- Keep information for yourself and your family about the consequences of misuse, abuse, and overdose on drugs.
Developing addiction to benzodiazepines should be taken seriously. Because developing the addiction could progress and do further harm, both physically and mentally to someone. Also, if you know anyone with drug abuse and problems, don't think twice of doing early intervention. First of all, find help from a doctor right away.
What are the possible treatments for Benzodiazepines addiction?
Once you have heard from a doctor and knew about a Benzodiazepines addiction, the following are treatment options to consider:
- Detoxification
It's the first-line of help to a person's problem. Because of benzos abuse, there's growing addiction to this drug. The user will have to go to a hospital while under the watch of a medical team. Doctors and nurses do many medical tests to eliminate the toxic drug in the body. Finally, hoping to reduce the danger and side effects of the benzos withdrawal process.
- Inpatient treatment
After the Benzodiazepine detoxification, the user may have to stay in a rehab and undergo inpatient treatment sessions. Finally helping she or him achieve full recovery. The inpatient treatment program may include the following:

Baking Soda In The Service Of Beauty And Health. 8 Extremely Useful Tips
I hope you will not deny the fact that baking soda has become indispensable help in our daily lives. The amazing power of baking soda in almost every household found its application, while maintaining the purity of the house, cooking, freshness… And baking soda has a significant place in the service of beauty and health.
I suggest you read these helpful tips on how to use this useful powder.
8 valuable tips on the application of baking soda:
- Unpleasant smell of sweat
I hope you know that using industrial antiperspirants blocks the sweat glands. Sweat just does not come out. That is why they are "respected", but pointlessly, because along with the sweat from the body, the toxins are also removed. By blocking the sweat glands, the body is not clean. The presence of aluminum salts and parabens in the composition of deodorants and antiperspirants increases the risk of breast cancer and other malignant diseases.
The unpleasant smell of sweat in the armpits successfully eliminates soda. If you apply a small amount on your dry and clean armpit, you can stay calm for 24 hours! There would be no unpleasant smell during the day. Even if the sweat pours like rain, it would dry quickly, leaving no trace in the form of stains or odor on clothing. You can make a deodorant with baking soda.
- Bath against smelly feet
After a hard day, soak your tired feet in a solution of warm water and baking soda (add 3 tablespoons of soda to 3l of water). If you do this regularly, the odor will be forever gone. With the help of baking soda, you can achieve the effect of smooth and delicate feet.
- The following recipe will help you with this unpleasant phenomena
Wet your hair with water, and then energetically rub baking soda into your scalp. After that, rinse and dry the hair. Do this procedure every time you need to wash your hair, and shampoo won't be necessary – soda is the perfect replacement! At first, your hair will look dry, but this is a temporary phenomenon. Very soon it will become softer and the dandruff will disappear forever.
- Great, healthy and silky hair.
You can prepare authentic homemade shampoo to wash your hair. In half a glass of water, stir 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of alcohol. Apply to wet hair, massage and rinse with water. Then, also rinse with acidified water (add 2 tablespoons of alcohol vinegar or lemon juice to 1 liter of water).
If you add a tablespoon of baking soda to the shampoo while washing your hair, not only will you remove the remnants of varnish and gel, but also make your hair shiny and silky, since the water becomes softer. Fair hair will become even fairer.
- Face exfoliation
Make some slurry of water and baking soda. You can also replace water with gel for washing, in equal proportions. And if you add a teaspoon of honey, this facial cleanser will become invaluable. Using circular motions, massage your face with this exfoliation. Then rinse with water and apply some cream.
- Tooth whitening
In order to achieve a satisfactory effect, brush your teeth with a mixture of salt and baking soda in the same proportions.
- Unpleasant smell from the mouth.
Fight your unpleasant breath with the help of the above mentioned recipes (for tooth whitening). The procedure can be repeated every day (you can do it without adding salt). The unpleasant smell will disappear without a trace.
- Swell under the eyes
Soda will remove the dark circles and bags under the eyes. Make a solution: add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of hot water or tea, and stir. Moisten some cotton balls and place them on the area under the eyes, keeping them for 10-15 minutes.

Algarve, located in the far south of Portugal, forms the basis of a carefree sunshine. In about three hours you fly from most Europian airports to Faro. The South Portugese region is famous for its beautiful golden beaches in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Read more about the beaches in the Algarve!
Gold colored beaches of the Algarve. The Algarve in Portugal has 200 km of coastline with countless sandy beaches. These beaches are ideal for young and old, because the is particulary child friendly. There is also a lot of variation in the beaches.There are big sancy beaches and adorable little beaches that are hidden between the golden cliffs of sometimes tens of meters high. Choice enough!
Praia Dona Ana.
Praia Dona Ana is one of the most pituresque beaches of the Algarve. The beach is located around the corner of Lagos and is surrounded on both sides by trees and rocks. It is a versatile beach. You will find the Ponta de Piedade. This rock party is popular with professional and amateur photographers who like to take a look of the place. Also nice: it is possible to sail by boat to the rock formations. Praia Dona Ana is also excellent for a walk. There are short walks along the cliffs, very special! Would you rather keep calm and relax on the golden sands? Sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented for an additional charge.
Praia da Falesia.
Praia da Falesia certainly can not be missed! This is by far the most beautiful beach in the region. Just imagine: red rocks around you, sand as far as the eye strecthes and you on the towel or sunbed with nothing more than the sun. The beach of Praia de Falesia is 3 km long, that makes it ideal for a walk. Take of your shoes and feel the warm sand between your toes.
Praia de Marinha
Ever read a travel guide about the Algarve? Thick chance that a picture of Praia da Marinha was used on the cover. The caves, rocks formations and golden beachs make Praia de Marinha a popular beach. Only the walk through it, through the beautiful nature through a path of stairs, is worth it. Praia de Marinha is near Lagos. The beach runs slowly into the sea. In addition, you do not have to be afraid of contaminated water, because the water of Praia de Marinha is very clean. The beach has therefore received the golden beach award.
The nicest hotspots and activities!
In addition to a pleasant climate and luxuary hotels at a great price, the Portugese region offers the Algarve enough opportunities for a child friendly holiday.
The nicest water and amusement parks in the Algarve. Take a trip to one of the many water and fun parks that are the Algarve has to offer:
One of Portugal largest water park, Slide and Spash, is located in the Algarve. The park, which has existed since 1986, has spectacular slides. Are you going for the Kamikaze, Black Hole or the Tornado? There are also quiter slides in case you are not keen on those. For children there are seperate childrens pools with shallow water and mini slides.
Zoomarine in Albufeira. This park, where a lot of shows with dolphins, see lions, birds of prey and parrots are stepped up. guarantees a day of fun for young and old! In additoin to the many shows, you will find several swimming pools (including a wave pool) slides, an aquarium, ferris wheel and ternpit.
In Lagos is the nicest Zoo in the Algarve, despite the fact that you will not run into elephants and lions. In the zoo you will find especially smaller sized animals, such as sicky tails, monelys, lynxes and birds. The park also has two playgrounds and a childrens farm.
Olhão, the largest fishing port in the Algarve.
In the fishing port of Olhão is a lot of activity. Early in the morning the fishermen leave and in the morning they catch their catch of the day at the quayside. Tons of sardines are landed and trade begins immediately.But not only the port makes us Olhão find a nice place in the Algarve; Also the city center is highly recommended. You are deceived when you think the Moors have had an impact on the building. Although the buildings in the center have Moorish influences, the Moors have never lived, because Olhão is simply too young. A few fishermen from northern Portugal built the first houses in Moorish style. One of the best places in the city center is the daily market in the city park at the Ria Formosa. Buy fresh local produce and go picnic in the park. Also visit the church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the Capela do Senhor de Aflitos. At the chapel, the fishermen prayed in bad weather that their men were still returning from the sea.
Faro, the capital of the Algarve
A shame that Faro is seen to be just the city of arrival, but few holidaymakers take the opportunity to take a look at the city.
Faro is not a standard tourist city, but that is exactly the charm of the capital of the Algarve. Stroll through the car-free walled city and enjoy the peace. You will find few notable sights in the city; By a fire in 1596 and two earthquakes in the 18th century all Moorish and Jewish traces were destroyed.
Why do we see Faro as one of the beads of the Algarve? It is especially a very cozy city! In the afternoon, the streets are full of locals looking for a bar, restaurant or bench overlooking the harbor. Also fun: for the coast of Faro are some islands that you can reach by boat. Go for a day to sunbathe.
Cabo de São Vicente, the end of the world
One of the most southwestern points of the Algarve and Portugal is Cabo de São Vicente, also known as 'the end of the world'. Because the country suddenly went over in a cliff of 50 meters high, it was thought that this was the end of the world for a long time. Nothing is less true of course, but you have a great view of the area and you can watch the high waves spreading to the rocks for hours.
Silves, a must see for culture lovers
Culture lovers are not allowed to skip a visit to Silves. On top of the mountain top you will find Castelo dos Mouros. Around this castle were found remains of buildings from the 18th century. In the center of Silves you will find a 13th century cathedral and also the Musueu Municipal Arquelógica and the courtyard museum.
Lagos, a beautiful mix of culture and beach
Lagos history goes back for years. There are traces of a settlement of the Celts dating back to 4,000 years! Due to its strategic location it was a real trading city; Trade was driven by, among others, the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthagers, both during Roman rule and in the Moorish era.
Many buildings from this time, however you do not find more; caused by a powerful earthquake (with a 10 meter high tide), Lagos was practically wiped out of the map. Only the city walls and some buildings (like the Igreja de Santo António) have been spared. The church may not be very special from the outside, the interior is overwhelming. Also take a look at the Municipal Museums next to the church. After the city was rebuilt, it became especially a city for life-lovers. The city center is dominated by narrow, attractive streets and squares with terraces and fish restaurants. These run almost seamlessly along the promenade along the Ribiera de Bensafrim and the beaches.
For food lovers looking to delve deeper into the culinary delights of the region, dining with the locals is a foolproof way to ensure you are sampling some of the best dishes southern Portugal serves up. From seafood snack bars to snug mountaintop restaurants, here is how to eat inexpensive but delicious food while rubbing shoulders with Algarvios.
Alongside sun-drenched beaches and historical villages, the Algarve region of Portugal is packed with choices for anyone with a passion for simple, lovingly prepared local food.
Start with what the ocean provides. Seafood: clams, oysters, donax clams and cockles cooked on a griddle or in a frying pan are delicious. Some plain barnacles on a beach on the Vicentina coast, razor clam rice, whelk bean stew, clam xerém (stew with maize meal) and seafood açorda (bread casserole) are other examples to make the mouth water.
"Cataplana" is a typical and special dish. It is a big seafood stew served in a metal cataplana cooking pot, and is made for a minimum of two people. The dish includes potatoes, firm white seasonal fish, seafood, peppers, tomatoes, onions and a hint of chilli added to the base sauce. You can eat good cataplana at restaurant Ribeiro do Poco in VIla do Bispo (Rua Ribeira do Poco 11 +351 282639075
Percebes are goose barnacles. They look alarming but have an appealing flavour. Vila do Bispo is the "capital of percebes".The traditional Portuguese restaurants normally offer a large selection of fish dishes, one of which is almost certain to be grilled sardines, served with boiled potatoes and vegetables or salad. Also commonly on the menu are a range of omelettes, salads and some meat dishes, like thin pork slices served with a creamy mushroom sauce or chicken piri-piri. .The prices are very reasonable, the food is good and the portions are generous.
House wine, which is normally a local Portuguese wine, is also very good value and very drinkable! On average a 2-course meal for 2, including house wine, can cost less than €25. (Soup of the day €1.50, main course €7.00 and a bottle of house wine €8). Obviously prices can vary enormously depending on location.Restaurants have got a lot better in offering vegetarian dishes on the menu (although don't expect to see more than one or two in most places) and vegans unfortunately are still poorly catered for.
You will find the Pastel de nata all over Portugal, but don't visit the Algarve without having one (or two.) Find a place that serves this creamy custard tart fresh from the oven, as they are so much better served hot. Served with cinnamon and icing sugar, this is one of my favorite foods in Portugal.
