The top 20 most significant royal moments of 2013
On 24 January Princess Marie and Prince Joachim of Denmark's baby daughter Athena turned one.
To mark the important milestone, Athena's proud parents released a set of images of their daughter (pictured right), dressed in a pretty blue dress, happily playing with her mother.
Just one month later, on 23 February, Princess Estelle of Sweden blew out the singular pink candle on her birthday cake.
Royal watchers were entertained with a series of photos that showed a grinning Estelle tucking into the sweet treat.

Bainbridge High School Teens Accused of Exposing Themselves
Four teens have been arrested and charged with exposing themselves to a special-needs student at Bainbridge High School in at least 50 separate incidents, according to Bainbridge Island Police.
Detectives believe the first incident occurred last June. A 16-year-old high school boy was publicly urinating, which was witnessed by the alleged male victim, 15, who was "freaked out" by the incident.
Detectives said because of the special-needs student's response, the 16-year-old, along with three other male Bainbridge High School students, a 14 year old and two 17 year olds, began exposing their genitalia to him "daily since September" at the high school, according to court documents.
"Several witnesses have come forward to say they've seen the exposures," detectives added in the statement of probable cause for the 16-year-old's arrest.
The special-needs student reportedly told his parents about the alleged incidents, and the parents relayed the information to school officials in September and again in November. The parents then called police in late January after the alleged incidents continued, detectives said.
Brent Peterson, principal of Bainbridge High School, said concerns were raised by the alleged victim's parents, but "there was a lack of names attached to the allegations," and the investigation stalled.
However, "As soon as we were able to identify names, we shared them with police," Peterson said.
Peterson added the school has and will cooperate fully with the criminal investigation.
The four suspected students have been withdrawn from school, he said.
The 16-year-old suspect was arrested by Bainbridge police Feb. 1, and has since been charged by Kitsap County prosecutors in juvenile court with malicious harassment, fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation, and indecent exposure.
The remaining three suspects were arrested over the weekend and charged with indecent exposure, according to deputy prosecutor Todd Dowell.

Say, my
class Person collaborates with other classes,
Kettle and
Person has a method
makeTea() that should interact with
Kettle and
Teacup, each in different ways, in succession, but the order is unimportant.I would like to capture interactions between the
Person and
Kettle, and the interactions between
Person and
Teacup individually in two separate unit tests (let's call them
testPersonFillsKettleWithWater and
To test the method
makeTea() it is not necessary to have
Kettle nor
Teacup. When testing for interactions with
Kettle, any interactions
Teacup don't matter.
With ScalaMock however if you do not declare expectations on
Teacup and yet some interactions occur, then
Teacup throws tantrums about "Unexpected method calls" etc.
In jMockit literature this is called setting 'strict' expectations. I would like to be able to omit specifying every expectation, and just test for certain interactions within one method. So the question is:
Does ScalaMock support non-strict expectations?
I'm aware of the
mock stub 'method syntax, but it is cumbersome to list out all the expectations that I find myself having to list.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- Without my authorization Wealthy Affiliates University (WA) used my PayPal account for a second year of a non-recurring subscription for $359.88 (subject of another complaint). WA notified me of this after they had been paid by PayPal. I filed an email dispute with PayPal, which was denied. I called them and was told that since they had paid WA, they would not do anything to help me. PayPal is broker for their merchants' financial interests, with no protection for the consumer.
While I was on telephone hold, I heard all sorts of dialogue about how much protection PayPal was to the customers. PayPal actually provides no protection against unauthorized use of one's credit. In my opinion, it is just as safe, perhaps safer, to use your credit card online. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and my credit card.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased an item from Ebay using PayPal. PayPal took payment out of my credit card but did not send it to the seller (or so the seller says). PayPal said to me (I called them) that they did send it to seller. PayPal has my money and I don't have my merchandise.. a planned Christmas present. PayPal won't help me.
Ebay (I called them) won't help me, unless I pay twice!! Their online resolution email system doesn't work. To top it all off, Ebay has officially listed me as a "refused to pay" buyer, not that I will ever buy on Ebay again. The seller (email communications) won't call (I gave him the numbers) PayPal, which would, I think, clear it up. Any other ideas, folks?
I finallly got a refund... not in time for Christmas, but appreciated.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- Beware of PayPal & Ebay Practices: You buy an Item on Ebay. You Pay with PayPal. Both are Owned by Ebay! Ebay says you must pay within 7 days! You are verified with both Ebay & PayPal. You have a verified checking account and Credit Card on PayPal. PayPal notifies the seller you have paid with Echeck. PayPal sends you a Email notifying you that the payment will take days and days and days to process.
Even though YOUR BANK has paid PayPal within just a few days, PayPal holds your payment for even more days, making sure your payment to the seller goes just over the 7 days allowed! This way PayPal makes all the interest they can on YOUR MONEY! You are delayed getting your item, you may get negative feedback, but Ebay and PayPal make their money! Also beware of the 5 free listing thing Ebay has on now. They will RIP you on fees. At least 8.75% or $20.00! PayPal acts like a BANK but are not allowed to be a BANK!
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA -- I received the below email, and I am not sure if it is a scam. I have never used Pay Pal, so I don't see why they would be sending me this email. While I am smart enough to know better than to believe it, I was wondering if anyone knew where to report it? Surely Pay Pal would like to know? Thanks!
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However if you are the rightful holder of the account,click on the link below to log into the account and follow the instructions.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run. If you choose not to complete the request, you give us no choice but to suspend your account temporary. It takes at least 72 hours for the investigation in this case and we strongly recommend you to verify your account at that time.
If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of PayPal policy to represent oneself as another PayPal user.Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. PayPal is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request or law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account. PayPal Account Review Department.
I made a purchase on eBay and only received half of what I paid for. When I filed a dispute with PayPal (whom I used to pay for the auction) they told me I shouldn't have used the "Item Not Received" dispute as I did get half of what I had ordered. I was told I should have used the "Not as Described" dispute. I, of course, went to file a new dispute under the category they told me. Turns out I had my one chance at filing a dispute for this item an they would not allow me to file another.
There was no way I was going to lie down and loose $500.99 so I sent my credit card company the information - including a Police report and a complaint filed with the US Postal Inspectors. My credit card company promptly sent me some paperwork to sign, I faxed it back, they reviewed the case and found that my claim was legitimate and issued a charge back for only half the money as I only received half the merchandise.
PayPal has now frozen my ENTIRE account, not just the $500.99 that is in dispute, but over $2000. The account has been placed in what they call Limited Status and all I can do is receive money, but I can withdraw nothing. This has been since Dec. 7, 2006. I sell quite a bit on eBay and all the money for the things I was selling before I knew they had limited my account went through PayPal and was frozen.
I have called them, but you can not speak to anyone in the dispute department via telephone. It must be through either fax or email. I have emailed them all the documents they have requested and faxed them to them on multiple occasions. I have heard nothing from them. When I call the main number a service rep. just gives me the email address. I'm really thinking it's time to get a lawyer involved. Anyone else have anything like this happen with PayPal? Let me know what you did to straighten it out!
COMPTON, CALIFORNIA -- After reading a couple of reviews, I realized that my experience is not alone and it also confirmed that eBay and PayPal are all CRAP!!
There are a lot of conman around (eBay Power Seller) that are well verse of the eBay and PayPal processes. They have no intention to deliver the item to you in the first place. To my case, the guy invited me to deal outside of eBay: "it is still available, if you want it send $17 (includes item and USPS global priority mail as requested) via PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com and I will ship the item tomorrow". While I am eagerly to get the item, I paid through PayPal on Oct 1. After a couple of emails asking for status, the conman replied: "the item is en route via USPS air mail" and "please calm down , the item has been shipped and is on the way" on Oct 5 and Oct 16. Without much progress, I have no choice but to escalate the dispute to a claim as "non-receipt" in PayPal on Oct 17. Guess what it was working, the conman mailed the item with the USPS postage stamp indicated as Oct 18 using Letter Post!
On Oct 25 I requested for the refund of the shipping charges difference, but then the conman replied: "a few things this was not an eBay transaction, so why are you assuming that you were charged the same amount that the item price what was listed for in an auction format? I gave you a price for the entire transaction....you have received the item with my apologies for delayed shipment but nonetheless you have received the item our transaction is completed you will not receive any refund from me thank you" and he also sent an email to PayPal: "attn PayPal: please note that the individual has received the item in question, thereby removing the case for claim of non receipt. thank you".
On Nov 8, PayPal wrote to me: "We regret to inform you that we were unable to resolve this case in your favor because the claim was incomplete, filed incorrectly, or outside the bounds of coverage as defined in our User Agreement." I believed this is so-called the "non-receipt" scenario. Case should be closed by then. But there are some interesting activities appeared in my case like "Refund initiated" and "Refund issued" by PayPal indicated in the history. I have not received a single cent from anyone, so what did those transactions mean? Obviously someone in PayPal wanted to make "Good" of the case. I have demanded for explanation for those transactions, but no answer as of now.
So what is PayPal Buyer Protection you think?
Has anyone out there that sells on eBay had the misfortune of dealing with PayPal's resolution center? I recently had a winning bidder on an eBay auction of mine contact PayPal claiming that they never received their item. My auctions clearly state that I am not responsible for loss or damage if the buyer elects not to purchase insurance. In the email from PayPal's resolution center, they give the seller 3 choices. 1. Issue buyer a full refund. 2. Provide tracking information. 3. Do nothing and PayPal may take the funds from your account after the 7 day deadline passes, which may also result in loss of account usage. WHERE IS THE RESOLUTION? Sounds like the door is wide open for PayPal buyer fraud on eBay. There is no place for the seller to state his side of the case. You can only click on which of the 3 choices you opt for. As a seller on eBay I have 1856 feedbacks with a 100% positive rating. The mail lost the item or the buyer lied, and I am expected to be 100% responsible when it clearly states in the auction that I am not, and PayPal backs the buyer fully. I only have a receipt for the shipping, which shows the buyer's zipcode, on the same date that item was paid for. I at least have some sort of proof that the item was shipped. But since PayPal is now an eBay company, they don't respond to emails. The seller is out listing fees, shipping, and the cost of the item sold, simply because the buyer claims they did not receive their item. I thought I was covered by the instructions in my listings, but obviously not. For you sellers out there, I suggest you do like myself and start requiring insurance and tracking on all items. Buyers looking for free items have an open door thanks to PayPal.
I have tried numerous times to sign in to Pay Pal to pay for this item but cannot get through their sign in procedures. I am not recognized and now Ebay is threatening to open an unpaid item in my account. I don't need the hassle and no longer need the item.
On 6/21/2011, Paypal emailed me that I had sent $ 67.99 to a person named Ramad Ashek
for an eBay item. I have never heard of this person and have never authorized any
payment to him.
I have sent repeated emails to Paypal asking them to send an emaail to me correcting this error by showing that I did not make this payment, but have received to respomse.
My Transaction ID CGY8163318276332E or ( KMM4385362V33398LOKM )
Thank you,
Robert F. Lorenzen, MD
PayPal charges refund fees for cancelled transactions. Accordingly, if someone sends money to you by mistake or for a sold-out item, you will be obliged to send full (not partial refunds) and still be charged the refund fees (and the full transaction fees if the buyer is quick in filing dispute)
Moreover, even if your agreement/listing specifies that any cancellation/transaction fees are non-refundable, PayPal does not recognize your agreement or respect your terms and conditions!
I was a target for such misuse. This could be used by many to harm someone's business.

A "Lil Positivity": Michael Vick Kicks The Truth To The Young Black Youth- By Bossip Staff Categories: A "Lil Positivity", Ballers, News
Despite serving a 18-month prison bid, patiently waiting for his opportunity to play in the NFL, and subsequently embarrassing teams all season long, Michael Vick is still on his road to redemption.
This week he was in New Haven, Connecticut and spoke to high school students from Hillhouse and Wilbur Cross High Schools about his involvement in dogfighting and gave encouragement to the kids.
"You guys are going to be our future leaders in this world," Vick said at Cross, according to the New Haven Register. "Set your mind on what you want to do moving forward. And each and every day, you have to think about what's the best thing that I can do to become a better person tomorrow. There's going to be some ups and downs, but it's all about how you bounce back from it; it's all about how you persevere."
Go 'head Mike, we got your back. Keep shining on these hating a** hoes, winning these games, and getting this money! Tell PETA to hop off the bozack!

In industrial biotechnology, microbial cultures are exposed to different local pressures inside bioreactors. Depending on the microbial species and strains, the increased pressure may have detrimental or beneficial effects on cellular growth and product formation. In this review, the effects of increased air pressure on various microbial cultures growing in bioreactors under moderate total pressure conditions (maximum, 15 bar) will be discussed. Recent data illustrating the diversity of increased air pressure effects at different levels in microbial cells cultivation will be presented, with particular attention to the effects of oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures on cellular growth and product formation, and the concomitant effect of oxygen pressure on antioxidant cellular defense mechanisms. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

When we discovered Jouer, this miraculous balm was the first product we fell in love with and our affair is going strong. It's no surprise that we always have a tube of this on hand: It's deeply moisturizing, smells amazing, and delivers the prettiest hint of sheer pink color. The best part? It minimizes the appearance of fine lines and boosts your lips with Maxi-Lip™, an ingredient that adds fullness without stinging or tingling.
This was my favorite product in March's birch box. It leaves your lips supersoft. It's easy to use, at night or under lipstick. I find it's best for use with shiny or shimmery lip products, rather than matte, because it leaves your lips pretty shiny. I found that over the past few weeks, I've noticed a big improvement in how dry my lips are and how full they look.5
A lip balm with a hint of color?! Just what I've been looking for! These dry winter months have left my lips dry and cracked. The Jouer lip enhancer is a miracle worker - moisturizing with a touch of subtle color. Great for when I'm in the office and lipstick is too drying for my lips. Love this product!5

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarisonic is in the business of beauty and there was nothing more beautiful at the 2009 New York Fashion Week than breast cancer survivors modeling dresses donated by designers such as Giorgio Armani, Tadashi and Luca Luca. Clarisonic sponsored Style360's Pink Dress Collection Runway Show on September 15th and even created a Limited Edition Clarisonic just for the occasion. Celebrity host, CEO of Modern Mom and former Dancing With the Stars champion Brooke Burke closed the event walking down the catwalk in a Nicole Miller pink satin cocktail frock with a Limited Edition Clarisonic in hand.
"I'm always excited by opportunities such as the SGK Pink Dress Collection show sponsored by Clarisonic, that gives back in a big way," said Brooke Burke. "It was such an honor to be involved in a runway show that not only benefits a cause near and dear to my heart but also allowed me to see these breast cancer survivors on the catwalk demonstrating cancer will not define them nor keep them down."
Dr. Robb Akridge, co-founder of Clarisonic, was on hand prepping models backstage with the Limited Edition Clarisonic prior to the show and sharing skin care tips for keeping your skin looking young and fresh. Walking in the show was Roxy Olin (MTV's "The City") and catwalk legends Carol Alt and Carmen Dell'Orefice. Perez Hilton also lent his support donning a bright pink satin suit created by moods of norway.
Although this is Clarisonic's first time at Fashion Week they have been involved in raising money and awareness for breast cancer since October 2007. Their Pink Ribbon Clarisonic and newly available Pink Mia donate funds with every sale. To date they h

2009 Hyundai Azera Problems
If you experience excessive engine noise on startup (after the engine has been turned off for several hours) that lasts for more than five or six seconds, turn off the engine and check that the engine oil level is correct. If the oil level is correct, the noise may be caused by the timing chain tensioner. Hyundai has an improved tensioner to correct this problem.
Prior to replacing the automatic transmission fluid (to improve shift quality), make sure that the transmission fluid level is correct. Also, make sure the computer that controls the transmission has the most up-to-date adaptive programming information. When servicing these transmissions be sure to use fluid approved by Hyundai.
Problems with the accelerator pedal position switch may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate; an improved switch is available to fix this problem.
2009 Hyundai Azera Questions
i think that is enough detail
The owners manual says the coolant has to be changed every 2 years or 60,000 miles In 2 years I only had 10,000 miles and the dealer wanted to change it. How often do I need Wheel Alignment?
2009 Hyundai Azera Recalls
The rear suspension is the attaching point for the control arms and other rear suspension components. Road salt and water can accumulate in and around the rear crossmember causing it to rust. Excessive rust could cause one or both rear control arms to separate from the crossmember resulting in a sudden change in vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the rear crossmember and repair or replace it as necessary to correct this concern.
The wiring harness for the right front seat belt tension sensor may become damaged after repeated use of the right front seat belt. If the wiring is damaged, the passenger front airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash. Dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2010. The Hyundai recall number is 094.
The wiring harness to the seat belt tension sensor may become damaged after repeated use. If this occurs, the air bag may not deploy in a collision. Dealers will inspect and replace the right front seat belt, install a new tension sensor wiring harness clip if necessary, and reroute the right front seat belt tension sensor wiring. The Hyundai recall number is 094. This recall began on February 8, 2010.
2009 Hyundai Azera Reviews
I researched and drove all of the competitors in the full size market. None compared favorably with the features and creature comforts that the Azera offered. It was as much or more comfortable. The interior touches and controls are logical and well designed. The reported issues with the suspension and noise are non-existent in my 2009 LTD. It is exceptionally quiet and the sound system is awes...

Turn 10 responds to Forza Motorsport 5 economy feedback
Nov 27
// Brett Zeidler
Starting this Friday and ending Sunday, all cars will be 50% off (both credits and tokens). Forza 5 VIP members will receive a 2013 Lotus E21 Grand Prix, and if they have already bought that they will receive a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Players who have purchased the LaFerrari car pack or car pass will have the LaFerrari placed directly in the garage. For the entire month of December, credit payouts will be significantly increased through Forza Rewards. Turn 10 did not stop there, and issued an apology specifically to players who bought the limited edition of the game and were mislead to believe the 1,250 tokens included with the edition would be enough to purchase any car available in the game, which turned out to not be the case. Sometime between today and December 16, a page will go live that will allow these players specifically to add any car of their choosing directly to their garage. This is definitely a good start, but the vague promise of future permanent changes to the economy simply is not good enough. The presence of free-to-play microtransaction pricing (or microtransactions at all) used to hold back content with the intent of nickel and diming consumers in a $60 game is extremely off-putting and should have never been included in the game in the first place. If anything, these apology programs should be permanent until future revisions to the economy are made. It's a shame, because the game outside of these decisions is really good. Given the franchise's history, it's hard to believe the direction taken with this entry is entirely Turn 10's fault and probably came from higher up at Microsoft. We can only hope they understand this is not the way to go in the future.

Microtransactions coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Mar 12
// Jim Sterling
As our own Chris Carter pointed out, the extra loadout slots could have a minor effect on gameplay, since players would be able to tailor any number of characters for any given situation and switch them out on the fly, giving them a more nuanced advantage. A small point maybe, but one the hardest of the core may consider. On the whole, this isn't terribly bad, and I'll give Activision its props for being one of the few big publishers to remain evil in good old fashioned ways rather than bite fully into some of the newer, more insidious ideas of the past few years. Nevertheless, this is a glimpse of an upcoming generation filled with more online requirements and microtransaction leanings than ever before, and I can't say it fills me with glee. The suspense is terrible ... I hope it'll last.

On Cliffy B, microtransactions, and Electronic Arts
Mar 01
// Jim Sterling
"Making money and running a business is not inherently evil. It creates jobs and growth and puts food on the table. This country was built on entrepreneurship. Yes, there are obvious issues around basic business ethics (Google "Pinto Fires") and the need for a company to give back to its' community, but that's not what this blog is about right now." On this point, Bleszinski is perfectly correct. Making money is not inherently evil. It is not, however, inherently good either. The argument that companies exist to make money is brought up by many people when a company is criticized, but making money is not a noble enough endeavor to render it immune to criticism. This is an argument I've already made in a video on the subject, but the short story is, yes, a company might be out to make money -- but I think we all have a right to express disapproval at the way a company goes about making it. For Bleszinski, that disapproval can only come in the form of your purchasing habits. "If you don't like EA, don't buy their games," he said. "If you don't like their microtransactions, don't spend money on them. It's that simple. EA has many smart people working for them (Hi, Frank, JR, and Patrick!) and they wouldn't attempt these things if they didn't work. Turns out, they do. I assure you there are teams of analysts studying the numbers behind consumer behavior over there that are studying how you, the gamer, spends his hard earned cash. "... Every single developer out there is trying to solve the mystery of this new model. Every console game MUST have a steady stream of DLC because, otherwise, guess what? It becomes traded in, or it's just rented. In the console space you need to do anything to make sure that that disc stays in the tray." He adds that the "fee-to-pay" model is currently working, therefore it's justified. I have issues with this -- firstly, I think exploiting things excessively because they currently work is a terribly short-sighted game plan, and exactly the kind of behavior that leads to market crashes. Yes, mainstream consumers might be happy to throw wads of extra cash at EA right now, but for how long will they do this? Consumers are just as likely to abruptly cease their support as they are blindly give it, and what will companies have to fall back on? A publisher making games more expensive by adding piles of downloadable content and microtransactions reeks of a dying magazine raising its prices to excessive degrees to counter its growing irrelevance. It might get away with it for a while, but long-term, it doesn't make sense to become more expensive as newer and fresher alternatives compete for a consumer's attention. Rather, there are fundamental issues with console game development that need to be addressed. Clearly, assigning 600 workers to a game, spending millions on it, and investing so much that five million sales is deemed a failure just isn't working. Publishers are presented as having no choice, as being the victim of a changing market, but they're not adapting or evolving. They're trying to bend the rules of the new game to play the one they're used to. It's the kind of stagnant attitude that leads to destruction -- something that could kill the jobs of a lot of talented people and, as we've already seen with THQ, throw quality IP into potential ruin. Bleszinski's points are absolutely compelling, as have been the points of basically every game journalist I've argued with about Electronic Arts this week. There's been a lot of defense for the company, and that's fair enough. So far all the arguments are rooted in the now, however, and that's my problem. I don't believe the "we make money now, there's no problem" attitude is the right one to have, especially in a console market so tumultuous and at risk of falling apart. A crash is looking set to happen, if it's not happened already, and the companies with an eye on the future, not the ones scrabbling to make money immediately, are the ones I feel are going to succeed. As far as calling for people to stop being angry, I just don't agree. When people think of games they care about being twisted to suit the psychological warfare that is a "freemium" model, I believe they've every right to be unhappy, and should voice their disapproval. Even if they are a vocal minority, and even if EA doesn't give a shit, I defy anybody to see something they're passionate about get broken and not want to say something. I mean, the people making EA memes on Reddit probably don't care about what Cliffy's got to say on their behavior, but he still said it! None of us are very good as just shutting up and ignoring things we don't like, and there's a lot to dislike in the mainstream game industry right now.

Why an indie chose free DLC instead of microtransactions
Feb 13
// Allistair Pinsof
Free DLC is uncommon, these days, but a free expansion of this breadth makes Torn Banner look like videogame Mother Teresa next to triple-AAA DLC's Stalin and the iOS market's Chairman Mao. So far, it's been working with Chivalry winning new fans through free weekends and expansions, making the title one of the biggest Kickstarter successes. "You need to balance that stuff out. If you day one DLC people, they feel lied to and mistreated. We want people to be pumped up," Piggot said, "we worked four months to do that thing, that would have made more money if we charged for it, but we are investing in the long term by investing in our fans." In the coming days, I'll be posting my full interview with Piggot where he discusses his thoughts on Dead Space 3's microtransactions, going from mod team to development studio, and the future of Torn Banner and Chivalry. Spoilers: He's an alright guy.
"We are investing in the long term by investing in our fans."

The Space
800 m from surfer's paradise Almanarre, Hyeres
The year 1912 Victorian House apt. is fully refurbished with all modern comforts by its Scandinavian/French owners and the interior has been sourced from the USA and EU.
The apartment is the entire first floor and garden in 100 procent privacy. No other rentals take place on the property.
The apartment contains 2 bedrooms (The bed in the second bedroom is only 120cm wide. Comfortable for 2 children but not for 2 adults.), large living room with 2 sleeping sofas for up to 3 people, dining area, kitchen, bathroom and a small laundry room with washing machine and dryer.
The garden vegetation is mature, rich and inspired by its Mediterranean setting on the ocean road. The house comes with private access to a small beach(stone) across the road and the public beaches (sand) start 300 m down the road next to kite+windsurfers paradise, idyllic harbors, the nature resort Maures, wrecks sunken next to Porquerolles for the experienced diver, golf clubs on all levels within 1 hour drive and with access to private tennis courts in walking distance.
It is 35 min drive from dining in St Tropez, 7 min drive to restaurants and bars in Hyeres. It is not the place for people who seek a tranquil countryside holiday, however, ideal for young couples (with or w/o children) who seek an active water sport or sunny holiday on the popular and beautiful beaches of Hyeres.

Hanna was a wonderful host, very friendly and quick with her communications and with many recommendations for the area.
And the area is simply full of amazing places to visit -starting with "les iles d'or": porquerolles, port-cros & levant.
very bright and spacious... with a minimal scandinavian well chosen design!!!
A very nice place, close to the beach ..... everything perfect from our side. Hanna is a very nice host and we had a great time at her place. Just make sure you have a car because there are no shopping facilities nearby and St. Tropez, Marseille, Cannes .... are really cool day trips worth going .....
The reservation was canceled 174 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
We had a fantastic time at Hanna's apartment . The beach was down the road , where we swam . We cooked every day from local produce and then dinned in the beautiful garden . We were very happy not to go out and just chill at the apartment on some days. Hanna is very kind and most understanding. Jordan her father was very thoughtful and a lovely person to deal with.
Thank you Hanna , we recommend if you want the real deal this is it......
Un posto splendido e di grande armonia, arredato con molto gusto e attenzione a ogni dettaglio. L'appartamento, che occupa il piano terra della villa, è circondato da un bel giardino fiorito a uso esclusivo, ampio e ben tenuto, dove è molto piacevole far colazione o pranzare.
Deliziosa la piccola caletta, a cui si accede attraversando la strada, inoltre belle spiagge nei dintorni. Hanna è veramente gentile, disponibile e discreta, parla sia francese che inglese e ci ha fornito una lista di indirizzi utili molto ben fatta e preziose indicazioni sui dintorni (ristoranti, negozietti tipici, posti da visitare ecc.)
Adatto ad una famiglia giovane con 1/2 figli. Insomma una vacanza perfetta!
The house and garden are gorgeous - as you can see. Loved the minimalist deco, which was very enjoyable & remained comfortable. Hanna was very reactive and easy to communicate with. And the area is simply full of amazing places to visit -starting with "les iles d'or": porquerolles, port-cros & levant. A beautiful area.
Little mention: The description does say its not a tranquil countryside retreat & Hanna was very clear and honest with us about the size of the second room; but it does bear mentioning that the house is on the (main) road and the smaller bedroom doesn't have a window.
The villa has minimalist decoration and style (I like that!). Kitchen and bathroom are large and very functional.
Due to the salt swamps in the area, mosquito repellent is advised.
Communicating with Hanna is a pleasure (English recommended).
Hanna was very helpful: our train arrived very late in Toulon, so she offered to leave the house open so that we could arrive at any time... and we had to leave early in the morning 2 days later for the same reason, and she offered the same super-easy procedure. I'd like to thank her again for her trust.
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Oster-Woche in der Wohnung von Hanna.
Alles ist wie beschrieben chic im weißen skandinavischen Stil eingerichtet. Der Garten kann ganz privat genutzt werden.
Die Nähe zu sehr schönen Stränden, die zum Surfen und Kitesurfen perfekt sind, ist sehr praktisch. Auch mit dem Fahrrad kommt man gut in der Gegend herum.
Sehr lohnend ist ein Ausflug auf die Ile Proquerolles!
Hanna hat sich sehr freundlich um uns gekümmert, war immer zu erreichen und hat uns schnell geholfen, wenn nötig.
Auch den Kindern von 6 und 10 Jahren hat es gut gefallen.
Wir kommen wieder!

|Genetic analysis is becoming an important tool for deciphering relationships among species. For example, the lineages Ruellieae & Justicieae have no shared derived characters, but are closely related genetically and as such are now considered to be sister taxa.
As in horticultural uses of Acanthaceae, enthobotanical uses of the family are equally diverse. The interaction between people and the plants they utilize is a broad definition of ethnobotany, but the fulcrum of the discipline revolves around understanding of how subsistence?based cultures use the plants around them to treat common ailments. At present, research in ethnobotany is remarkably sparse. This paucity of research is particularly startling given that: (1) the degree of deforestation occurring in tropical and temperate?tropical areas is jeopardizing the continued use and study of native human?plant interactions; (2) pharmaceutical research that focuses on ethnobotanically important plants has and will continue to have a major impact on the discovery of compounds that combat a range of diseases and disorders; and (3) ethnobotanically important plants and their wide-ranging significance to human cultures could and should provide incentives for countries to provide extended protection of the geographical areas that harbor such plants.
Acanthaceae is an important plant family for native peoples across several continents, especially in terms of medicinal use. In the links provided, case studies are summarized that further our understanding of the close relationships between traditional cultures and their native plants. Though studies are few, it is apparent that, across many cultures and many geographical boundaries, members of Acanthaceae are valued for their remedies to common diseases and discomforts.

I do not understand why a company with around 30 employees needs a slate of seven directors.

Another good choice would be a TLR.

Another good choice would be a TLR.
I agree with others who feel that virtually all folks who shoot film today are collectors. Most (I'm sure there are a FEW exceptions) who buy and shoot film cameras today have way more than they would if they were solely interested in shooting. Most probably have more old film cameras in their "collection" than a really dedicated professional ever had. Just read the majority of posts here and it's quite obvious.
I admit, I collect cameras, but I do shoot them all to one degree or another, and most I have invested in having serviced to bring them back to dependability. I will start selling them off eventually, keeping only the ones I really like, but in the mean time, it's fun to play with all of these variants. Never would have had the opportunity at full price. I enjoy the process of taking the photos and using the cameras as much as looking at the potots.
I have tired collecting, just last month I set out to collect all so ran 35mms, even bought a few, but I am by nature a shooter not a collector. I have always as divied up photogaphers into 2 groups, those who take pictures in order to own cameras and those who own cameras in order to take pictures. I have no ill will aginst collectors, well other than they drive up the price of some cameras, but no matter how hard I try I am just not a collector. If films just fades away I will have no use for my cameras. The reason I have so many cameras is that I have kept what I had rather than sell, most often becuase they are close to being worn out.
I use everyone of them regularly - I do my part in keeping film alive, but I also would like to have a historical perspective on it. When I see such varying designs juxtaposed, it always has me wondering what were the thought process involved at that time . . .
Also, it is much better to have them in my possession then sitting unused or worst!
Sit back and take a long breath. Decide what you want to collect, i.e. format, brand, country, etc. Years ago I had a thing for 1/2 frame cameras as I bought one and loved it. I ended up with a near complete collection of every Olympus model and variant including the F series with all its lenses and accessories. I also got the hots for Exacta and had an amazing number of bodies and lenses from many makers and accessories. During this period there were many oppotunities to collect others but I kept the cash close and kept focused. I was lucky as at the time both 1/2 frame cameras, mostly Olympus but also some Konicas including the Autoreflex that I loved to shoot, and Exacta were not on anyones' list as keepers including owners and they'd trade them in to a local dealer who'd give next to nothing and I paid as low as $5 to him as he wanted to turn this junk over for the good stuff like Konica, Minolta, etc.
There is nothing wrong being a collector. There are those who collect audio equipment, those who collect fountain pens, those who collect ex-spouses, and automobile collectors. Some also use them or a portion of the collection. I've moved my collection motivation of hobbies to a user staus but, understand the collector in each of us. Today I have a few cameras mostly found at flea markets, etc. Down to maybe 6 from hundreds and have 2 systems. I also went from over a hundred fountain pens to 6 and sold off much of my audio equipment collection.
A good collector will acquire pristine examples of emblematic cameras. So the first SLR, an important Leica, maybe a Plaubel Makina, etc. They will almost certainly go up in value from a high starting point. Leave less than perfect examples to people who use them. Mainstream cameras made by the million will never be worth very much.
Should have this thread been Called 'Ground breaking cameras that should in the ultimate collection'
While I don't necessarily get collecting cameras for collecting sake, people still do it.
I'll add one to the list, though - The Minolta 7000 (one without LCD bleed, of course)
I think some of the criticism of people who buy cameras as collectors' pieces is a little misplaced. For the kinds of cameras that are likely to be potential users, there are plenty to go around. As for driving up prices, again for the cameras likely to be used regularly, I'm not convinced that's the case. It may be true for a pristine, boxed Leica M3, but then who would buy that to take it out and get it dusty and wet anyway? Taking the longer view, come the day when all the users have been used, the collectors' cabinets can then be plundered for examples that have been kept in suspended animation! For most cameras that we'd likely want to take out and shoot with, we're hardly talking mortgage money.
To return to the OP's question (which was only seeking advice on cameras he should have, not whether he should be collecting in the first place!) I'll throw in another - the Zenit E. Though no great shakes specification-wise, it provided a first step into the world of SLR photography for many teenagers like myself in the 1970s who couldn't afford a Pentax and wanted to move upmarket from something like a Halina Paulette.

Water Science and Technology #25: Marine Chemistry: An Environmental Analytical Chemistry Approachby Antonio Gianguzza
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This book introduces the general principles of reaction equilibria and kinetics involved in marine geochemical cycles. The major electrolytes dramatically affect the rates and equilibria of the chemical reactions in the sea. In order to understand these interactions, it is necessary to have a detailed knowledge of the major, minor and trace chemical components. This volume is also focused on the development and applications of analytical techniques for accurate determination and speciation in seawater, and on the effect of pollution on the marine environment, since small quantities of other elements may have a significant influence on global chemical cycling. Audience: This book is of value for marine chemists, biogeochemists, ecologists, oceanographers, environmental engineers and analytical chemists.
