NEW DELHI: Making a strong pitch for women reservation, President Pranab Mukherjee said, "how can there be empowerment of women without their representation in public office."
Inaugurating the first-ever National Conference of Women Legislators, President Mukherjee said the country has not been able to achieve more than 12 per cent representation for women out of the total membership of Parliament, which is "a sad commentary on us". "How can there be empowerment without representation?" he said, adding that "attitudinal change is necessary."
The meet with the theme, 'Role of Women Legislators in Nation Building', has been organised by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan. It was attended by women lawmakers from across the country besides Speaker of the Bangladesh Parliament, Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury.
Recalling the efforts put in under the previous UPA government to pass the women's reservation Bill, the President said, "Even the legislation was passed with two-thirds majority in one of the Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha); the other House has not yet approved it."
He said Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari has rightly spoken about the need for commitment from the political parties "in actual action, not in words, not in resolutions" in this regard.
The President said unless there is reservation, it is too much to expect that political parties will start giving one- third of tickets to women candidates.
"To expect that everybody will fall in line is too much and normally does not happen," he said at the first-of-its- kind conference.
On the issue of poor representation of women in committees not dealing with women's matters, President Mukherjee said representation on such panels is not in the hands of the members of the political parties as it is distributed according to the strength of the parties in the House.

Updated April 14, 2016
"Have you heard about this Zika infection?" a patient asked me during her ultrasound. "What do you think?"
I have been following the news about Zika virus, specifically its link to microcephaly, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed in April 2016. An increased number of babies in Brazil are being born with this congenital malformation, in which the baby's head and brain are unusually small. There also have been reports of U.S. travelers, including a few in Texas, contracting the Zika virus while visiting affected countries.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Jan. 15 issued a warning advising pregnant women to postpone travel to areas affected by Zika virus, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, and parts of Central America and South America.
My patient had already canceled a planned Mexican vacation, but also was worried about an upcoming trip to Florida. I reassured her there is no need to avoid U.S. mainland destinations at this time. There are likely other pregnant women who have wondered about the Zika virus, so I've written this blog post to get them up to speed.
1. What is Zika virus and how is it contracted?
The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne infection that usually causes very mild symptoms. In fact, 80 percent of those infected never even know they have it. Common symptoms, which can last from a few days to a week, include a fever, rash, joint pain, headache, and conjunctivitis (red eyes).
The Aedes species mosquitoes that spread Zika virus are found throughout the world, including Texas. These mosquitoes (which are recognizable by the white markings on their legs) have also been known to carry West Nile disease, yellow fever, and dengue virus.
There is no medicine to treat Zika virus, nor is there a vaccine. Health care providers may recommend treating symptoms with rest, fluids, and medications such as acetaminophen to relieve fever and pain.
(UPDATED: Feb. 3, 2016)
Dallas County health officials on Feb. 2, 2016, reported a case of suspected sexual transmission of the Zika virus to a local resident from an "ill individual who returned from a county where Zika virus is present." Specific details about the case are not available.
This is not the first report of possible sexual transmission of the Zika virus. Sexual transmission is thought to be responsible for an infection in a Colorado woman who contracted the virus after having vaginal sexual intercourse with her husband, who had returned from Senegal where he worked on a research project involving mosquitoes. The semen was not tested, and hematospermia (blood in the semen) may have contributed to the transmission. In Tahiti, Zika viral particles have been isolated in the semen of a man who experienced symptoms of Zika infection.
What does this report mean for women who are pregnant? For now, I suggest that you exercise caution. If your partner has recently returned from an area where Zika infections are present, use condoms consistently or abstain from sex for the remainder of the pregnancy. Condoms provide very good protection against the sexual transmission of viral illnesses. Check the CDC website for more recommendations concerning sexual transmission of the Zika virus.
2. Where is Zika virus found?
The Zika virus was first detected in animals in 1947 in Uganda, and spread to other parts of Africa and Asia. It then crossed the Pacific Ocean, and in March 2015, the first case was reported in Brazil. Infections have now been reported in multiple Latin American countries.
There have been no reported cases of people contracting the Zika virus through mosquitoes in the United States. However, some people have been diagnosed with Zika virus in the U.S., including a Texas woman who had recently returned from a trip to Central America. A woman in Hawaii, who lived in Brazil during the first part of her pregnancy, gave birth recently to a baby with microcephaly.
Even though there haven't been any cases of people contracting the disease by mosquito in the United States, at least one type of mosquito that can transmit the virus is found here. Texas and Florida appear especially vulnerable to the spread of Zika infection, according to computer modeling that combined information about mosquitoes, temperature profiles, and historical data about flights to the United States from areas with known infections.
3. Does Zika virus cause birth defects?
(Updated: April 14, 2016)
In April 2016, the CDC confirmed that Zika virus can cause microcephaly. The organization also said the virus can cause other serious birth defects involving a baby's brain. There is also concern that the Zika virus can infect the placenta and lead to poor growth of a baby.
Microcephaly can lead to a range of problems – from mild to severe to life-threatening – including seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability, hearing loss, and vision problems. Microcephaly also can be caused by other viruses, such as rubella. Because most of the growth of a baby's brain occurs in the third trimester, the condition may not be detected until a third-trimester ultrasound, if one is performed, or after birth.
In a few cases, amniocentesis – or taking fluid from around the baby – was used to confirm that the virus was present in the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. The CDC also tested the brains of two babies with microcephaly who died shortly after birth and found that the Zika virus was present. While this still doesn't prove that the Zika virus caused the abnormal brain development, it is concerning enough for us to recommend some precautions for pregnant women.
(UPDATED: Feb. 6, 2016)
The CDC's recommendations regarding this disease may change frequently. And on Feb. 5, 2016, the CDC made another alteration in the indications for testing for Zika infection. They now suggest that all pregnant women who traveled to an area where there was active Zika infection be tested for evidence of infection between two and 12 weeks after returning.
This is a complicated recommendation. We will be offering testing to women for a disease for which there is no treatment. If you are in the later stages of pregnancy, ultrasound is the only meaningful testing we can offer – and of course we will (and which is what we would have done before this new change). I am also concerned about telling women they have likely been infected early in pregnancy, because we don't have any knowledge of when the fetus is most likely to be harmed by this virus.
For now, if you are pregnant, expect to be asked about your travel history and offered screening. If you have any questions, ask your doctor – or direct them to us at email@example.com.
4. How can pregnant women protect themselves?
For now, it's best to heed the CDC's travel warnings. The recommendations are changing as new information comes in, so look for the up-to-date list of countries on the CDC's Zika travel health notices page. If travel can't be avoided, protect yourself from mosquito bites.
A good insect repellant is a must – especially if you're in Texas or Florida. Mosquitoes can be thick during the summer, and while Zika virus has not been detected here yet, we do see cases of West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne infections. DEET is one of the most effective mosquito repellants, and while it has a reputation of being a potent chemical, using it as directed on your skin will not harm you or your baby during pregnancy.
Some women prefer natural repellants such as pyrethrin. You should not apply this to your skin, but you can use it on your clothing before you get dressed to repel mosquitoes. The Environmental Protection Agency offers tips to help you select an appropriate insect repellent.
A few other precautions you can take to protect yourself from mosquito-borne infections:
- Wear long-sleeve shirts and long pants if the weather permits. Avoid mosquito-repellant wristbands and clip-ons as they have been shown to have minimal to no effectiveness.
- Protect your home. Use window or door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home. Sleep under a mosquito net if you are unable to keep mosquitoes out of your home.
- Use mosquito abatement programs in your yard. Empty standing water from containers such as buckets or flowerpots to keep mosquitoes from finding a place to breed. If you can't get rid of all standing water, use larvicides, products that can be sprayed or that float in water and kill mosquito larvae.
- Be aware of spraying plans in your community. Mosquitoes become infected after biting infected people, so spraying is an effective way to slow mosquito-borne diseases. I expect this will be used more heavily this summer – especially if the link to congenital abnormalities is strengthened.
Also in response to the Zika, national organizations such as the National Marrow Donor Program and the American Red Cross have instituted additional screening guidelines for the virus for blood and cord blood donations.
If you have questions about an upcoming trip or have taken a recent trip to an affected country, talk to your physician about the possible risks.

After playing 9 songs, "Jupiter(The Battle)" seems to close off the concert with it's Sci-Fi inspired stage show, complete with a masked villain, lasers, flash pots and smoke bombs. That appears to be it. However, after a thunderous standing ovation, the band hits the highest note of the night with "Let's Groove", a song that is without a doubt one of the top 10 Funk/Disco songs of all time and a true litmus test of what Earth, Wind & Fire does best-funk! For it's day, this concert was state of the art with an amazing stage and fantastic light and pyrotechnic show to boot. The end credit sequence is cool too, with the audience dancing their way out of the venue, complete with the latest fashions of 1981. For fans of 'The Funk', this is a great DVD.
This DVD is hands down one of the best concerts I've ever watch on DVD- with all the energy, fun and honest love for music that the entire band displays it is contagious and so much fun to watch. The camera work is good- they do a great job of getting around to each member of the band - showing them having a good time and even "funning" around. The soprano sax solo by Andrew Woolfolk is smokin' and the "national anthem" of "That's the Way of the World" is so sincere and uplifting. Just a great concert!!!!!
This DVD would be worth it to me if it was $50 ( but luckily it's not.) I love this concert. It's full of great music and so much fun- and to quote Mr. Phillip Bailey, the "genius of Maurice White."
Two years prior, I saw them at William & Mary Hall, when they were promoting the I Am LP, and this presentation severely paled in comparison. Their Tour Of The World, 1979 had to be seen to be believed. There weren't any spinning drums or flying Verdines, but there was excellent musicianship from all band members and, more dear to me, extended versions of the songs from the albums. I'll never forget Maurice's extended ad-libs on "After The Love Has Gone" and "Be Ever Wonderful", or Philip's definitive performance of "Star". And, of course, there was the Doug Henning-choreographed magic. They'd lock up Maurice, et al, in a pyramid, they'd blow it up, and it would be empty. Suddenly the band members would show up from nowhere, singing as though nothing extraordinary had ever occurred.
Two years later (having completely ignored any tracks from their 1980 double LP, Faces), we're treated to medleys on "Reasons", "Where Have All The Flowers Gone". "Head To The Sky" and "Devotion (ya got ta walk[?] - what was that?)".
Having said all of the preceding, I think this is the finest of the available EWF videos. Maurice White is still at the height of his powers, Philip doesn't have to strain as much as he has to nowadays and Verdine is still one of the greatest and most hyperactive bass guitar slingers of the last 2 centuries. The show could have been better, but at least the Phoenix Horns (pre-Phil Collins) were tight.
Earth, Wind & Fire without Maurice White isn't Earth, Wind & Fire. To correct a previous reviewer, the only original members of Earth, Wind & Fire that remained throughout were Maurice & Verdine. Philip Bailey and Larry Dunn didn't appear on record until 1972.

By LISA MEYER TRIGG
A Reelsville area couple face multiple felony charges after police found marijuana plants growing and being processed in their Appleblossom Estates home Thursday afternoon.
Kenneth Allan Woolford, 37, was booked into the Putnam County Jail at 5:47 p.m. Thursday on charges of dealing in marijuana, neglect of a dependent, resisting law enforcement, possession of paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
His wife Noela Woolford, 28, was booked in at 6:11 p.m. Thursday for possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, neglect of a dependent and dealing in marijuana.
Both were arrested by Deputy Virgil Lanning after an anonymous tip led police to the home at about 3 p.m.
Assisted by Reserve Deputy Alan Bullington and Det. Mike Biggs of the Putnam County Sheriff's Depart-ment, along with Indiana State Police Troopers Brandon Bailey and Tim Cummings, Lanning found marijuana growing in the remains of an abandoned above-ground swimming pool.
Weeds had been allowed to grow tall in the perimeter of the old pool to mask the cultivated pot plants in the center.
The pool area had also been booby-trapped with a board riddled with nails sticking up lying at the entrance.
Marijuana was also found drying out inside the modular home. Some of the plants had already been process and placed in plastic grocery sacks.
The total estimated value of the marijuana was $8,000.
Lanning said police also found various drug paraphernalia in the house, lying in easy reach of the two toddlers living with their parents.
The interior of the home was also hazardous to the children, Lanning said. The children were taken from the home by Child Protective Services, and were later released to relatives.
"Even if we hadn't found marijuana in the house, CPS would have been called. It was bad," Deputy Lanning said.
Kenneth Woolford has a criminal history in Virginia, where he was arrested in the 1990s for marijuana possession.
A date for the couple's initial court appearance had not been set by presstime Friday.

First black Texas Catholic bishop installedFebruary 19th, 1988
On this day in 1988, Louisiana native Curtis Guillory, the first black Catholic bishop in Texas, was installed as auxiliary bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Galveston-Houston.The first blacks to arrive in what is now the United States came with the Spaniards and were Spanish-speaking members of the Catholic Church. Estevanico, the first known black Catholic in Texas, was one of four surviving members of the Narváez expedition, along with Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Andrés Dorantes de Carranza, and Alonso Castillo Maldonado. In more recent times Louisiana, with its French Catholic heritage, contributed many black Catholics to Texas, first as refugee slaves during the Civil War and later as migrants to Texas cities. In 1993, of the two million black Catholics nationwide, approximately 54,000 lived in Texas. The largest number resided in the Houston-Galveston Area. After his service as auxiliary of Galveston-Houston, Bishop Guillory became ordinary of the diocese of Beaumont.« Previous Next »

DANCE; To Dance Vivaldi, Just Ask Vivaldi
By IRIS FANGER
Published: September 24, 2000
BOSTON— CHRISTOPHER WHEELDON had no intention of making a ballet of Antonio Vivaldi's ''Four Seasons,'' even though he thinks the music is wonderful. When he saw James Kudelka's ballet to the same score, he recalls, he thought: ''Wow, this is long. I love the music but I would never do this.'' He couldn't see how to stretch enough inventive steps over the length of such a familiar work.
Nonetheless, he agreed to take it on because the Boston Ballet, where he has been appointed principal guest choreographer through 2003, wanted the ''The Four Seasons'' for its repertory. And while studying the music for clues to where he should start, he found inspiration in the composer's own words, inserted in the score. ''In the winter,'' Vivaldi wrote in one note, ''our feet chatter with cold. We shiver in the snow.'' With that, Mr. Wheeldon's imagination took off, and the ballet started to take shape.
Mr. Wheeldon, who retired as a soloist with the New York City Ballet last spring, says he has been working from ''noon to dusk every day'' to finish the 48-minute ballet, which will have its world premiere on Thursday at the Wang Theater, where the company's season runs through Oct. 8. Collaborating with Santo Loquasto, who has designed the scenery and costumes, Mr. Wheeldon was emphatic about ''wanting to escape the rather typical idea of the changing of the seasons.''
''I asked Santo to create for me a space that evoked a sense of period in a way,'' he recalls. ''It has a hint of traveling performers who come upon a space. We have four very different seasons choreographically.''
To watch Mr. Wheeldon rehearsing in the top-floor studio of the South End building that is home to the Boston Ballet is to note the self-confidence and easy manner of a choreographer who works comfortably with the dancers. A slow, backward slide for Lyn Tally down a ramp from a heavy, gold-colored wagon was hard to achieve until Mr. Wheeldon demonstrated the body pose he had in mind.
''I came into the studio fairly unprepared for the ballet,'' he says later. ''I'm not a big preparer anyway. I don't spend hours in the studio alone, forming combinations. It's much more interesting for me to create something for a personality. I'm interested in learning the craft of building roles for dancers. After all, the great choreographers of the past whom I admire -- Balanchine, Robbins, Ashton, MacMillan, Kylian, Tudor and Taylor -- worked in this way.''
Just 27 years old, Mr. Wheeldon has choreographed works for many companies over the last five years, beginning with a full-evening production of ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' for the Colorado Ballet. But it's a mistake to make too much of his age. The major choreographers whom he reveres were also early bloomers: think of Balanchine at age 21 in Monte Carlo, creating works for the Diaghilev Ballets Russes, and Robbins making ''Fancy Free'' for Ballet Theater when he was 26.
Mr. Wheeldon's Boston assignment, his third new work for the company since the 1999 productions of ''The Firebird'' and ''Corybantic Ecstasies,'' shares the program with Daniel Pelzig's ''Resurrection,'' a new work set to Samuel Barber's Concerto for Cello and Orchestra. ''The Four Seasons'' is one of many premieres on Mr. Wheeldon's dance card this year. Since last spring, when he announced he was retiring from performing to concentrate on making ballets, he has created works for his home company, the City Ballet, as well as for the San Francisco Ballet, the Royal Ballet of London and a workshop presentation of a Marvin Hamlisch-John Guare musical, ''The Sweet Smell of Success,'' directed by Nicholas Hytner. The musical, based on the film of the same name, is to have its preview in Chicago in December 2001 and to open in New York in 2002. Mr. Wheeldon shared the choreography credit with Susan Stroman in the recent film ''Center Stage,'' also directed by Mr. Hytner.
Mr. Wheeldon's 10-year dancing career started when he joined the Royal Ballet of England in 1991. Two years later, after recovering from an injury that sidelined him in London, he arrived in New York, where he knew practically no one. He showed up at City Ballet to take a guest class and within two days was invited into its corps de ballet. ''It was fate,'' he says. ''I hadn't even seen the Statue of Liberty yet.'' It was also fateful, perhaps, that Peter Martins, the company's ballet master in chief, happened to be watching class that day to audition a different young man.
While a corps de ballet member of City Ballet, Mr. Wheeldon created his first work for the School of American Ballet, which won him the Mae L. Wien Award for choreography in 1996.
Jennifer Ringer, a principal dancer with the company, stepped into the leading role of another Wheeldon work, ''Mercurial Manuevers,'' last spring. She remembers when Mr. Wheeldon joined the company: ''All of a sudden this new boy was here. He looked 12. He was so open and friendly. And then he started dancing, and we were amazed at what a beautiful dancer he was. Any time there was a five-minute break, if he had any energy, he would get up and do some choreography. He'd bring a girl over and say, 'Try this.' ''

I went on the Aprilaire website to order a new air filter. I have model 2400. I looked at the upgrade kit and thought it looked like a much better idea and purchase. I watched the video-it looked easy enough. I checked and double checked to be sure that this upgrade kit would be compatible with my model-every source on this site stated it was definitely compatible. I received my kit today-took apart my filter housing, following along with the video, and this upgrade DOES NOT FIT MY FILTER HOUSING UNIT. The grooves in the metal frame of the upgrade kit do not even come close to fitting the inside of my unit. Ugh……frustrated is not even the word to describe how I feel. It was 5:22 CST and I called customer service to find that they are closed until Monday. So the dirty filter goes back in and I guess I now wait…..

"I was always doing records and always on tour," she says from a tour stop in Las Vegas, "but the records didn't get released here in the States. That was always heartbreaking because I made them in the States and they were meant for the American fans."
Mostly known as a pin-up in the metal mags back in the '80s thanks to her stunning looks, Pesch's music has actually been a mostly unknown quantity here. And thanks to the decline of her style of metal in the '90s, it looked as though she'd never get the chance to be heard. It's been her ever-present popularity in her native Germany, though, that has kept her riding the power-metal sound wave she helped pioneer in the band Warlock and has brought her to this latest opportunity.
"I would rather prefer if they would play the music," she says of her pin-up days. "In the early '90s, for hard rock and heavy metal, it was very hard when grunge was really huge. Nobody wanted us any more. I always loved to experiment and try new things, but I could never make grunge stuff. It's not in my blood."
On the phone, Pesch comes across as genuinely sweet and earnest about her music, and when she perceives a connection has been made, an endearing humbleness emerges. "I'm so happy that I can play here again," she says. "It's what I do best. Music is all about vibration and having immediate feedback from the people. That's my way of connecting with people. I don't have a lot of friends and stuff, I have a couple of them, but connecting with the fans makes me so happy. To me, music was my drug from when I was three or four years old, when I heard one song -- 'Lucille.'"
Now, Doro can rock with the best of the men. Her deep, guttural growl leaves sex at the door on tracks like "Terrovision," "Fuel" and "Burn It Up" from Calling the Wild. The true heart of Pesch's vulnerable soul shines best, though, when she chronicles the many avenues of heartbreak. Whether true experiences or an amalgam of romantic wistfulness, Doro lives in slower tracks like "Constant Danger," "Scarred" and the two tracks she performs with Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead.
"It's a very vulnerable song," she says, in particular, of "Scarred." "I'm totally that way. To me, it's always important to come straight, be totally honest. I couldn't even write fake shit."
As she returns to the U.S. to struggle on, Pesch displays a total commitment to her music that is, at the very least, worthy of respect. "I've never been married and I didn't date a lot of times in my life. It was always music. I don't have any kids. Nothing. I think it's hard to keep a relationship. It's almost impossible. I love the music so much, I could never see myself giving that up. I will do this until the day I die."
Doro Pesch performs at the Masquerade, Tues., Dec. 12, with Dio and Yngwie Malmsteen. Tickets are $20 in advance. For more information, call 404-577-2007.

Although many copyrighted works are close substitutes for other copyrighted works, there would be many more close substitutes of certain works in the absence of the derivative right, the exclusive right to create adaptations of a copyrighted work. Yet even the derivative right's defenders identify the suppression of new expression as a cost of the derivative right. In this Article, Professor Michael Abramowicz argues that the conventional defense of the derivative right, i.e., it encourages production of new works, is unsupported, and that the derivative right's suppression of works that would be close substitutes for authorized derivatives and for one another, may well be welfare-improving. Rent dissipation theory, previously applied by commentators to patent law, suggests two implications for copyright's derivative right: First, the derivative right prevents copyright races, which would rush authors into creating low-quality adaptations of their works. Second, the right prevents excessive competition among unauthorized derivative works. This theory allows the derivative right to be distinguished more clearly from the reproduction right, potentially helping to resolve thorny doctrinal problems. In addition, this understanding of the derivative right may provide a better justification than the defense previously offered for the long copyright term, because the derivative right increases in importance relative to the reproduction right late in the copyright term.

A well equipped studio for the needs of a family. Taking into consideration this is an apartments hotel family run I wasn't expecting a good maid service but it took me by surprise. There was a small ants problem as the it's pretty normal for this type of climate and this close to the beach but the personnel was receptive and tried their best to take care of it. For that matter any issue I brought to their attention they tried their best to solve asap and in a friendly manner. The only minuses were a small and pretty narrow bathtub (something in between the size of a shower and a small bathtub but neither - but it wasn't a real inconvenience for us); the AC was central air and was not really coping with the size of the studio and the temperatures even if the apartment had a fan as well (I would strongly suggest they install either a more powerful central air or individual units); the studio had a smoke hood that was not functional and as I have brought that issue to their attention they have attempted a repair but the conclusion was it needed to be replaced - this has not happened for the duration of our stay there; the hotel does not provide dish washing liquid so you have to get your own.
Other than the AC issue I would not consider the rest as to be major issues hence our stay there was pleasant and I would return to stay for a future occasion.
The beach is pretty rocky close to this location but I would strongly suggest going to Ayia Napa or Larnaca as the beaches there are blue flagged and sandy and the water color could not be more blue. The rental of sun lounges and umbrellas are really cheap (2-2.5 EUR for each lounge or umbrella).
The hotel organizes a Cypriot night on Thursdays for 15 EUR/ person that includes a dinner buffet and an artistic program. Even though I thought that was a bit expensive it is worth they money and the time.
Meals served there are breakfast and lunch with burgers and sandwiches. Not a bad idea for someone in a hurry but for people looking for a good meal I would strongly suggest going to one of the restaurants near by (even the 4-5 star hotels across the street accept non-residents and that gives an even bigger range to choose from). We have chosen Diana Restaurant which we found to have the best grilled halloumi and the tastiest Cypriot dishes around there (fish is great too and fresh). Expect big food portions wherever you go as I for one wasn't expecting it and do take into consideration a dinner/ lunch can cost anywhere around 30 to 50 EUR for two including soft drinks and appetizers for two people.
There are around 3 mini-markets close to Tsialis that have everything and anything you need or may need. The closest is almost next door (Dino's) - I have found the best prices there out of the 3 and the most fresh food plus it's opened daily from like 8 AM to 11 PM including weekends. For those with rental cars I would strongly recommend they visit the Larnaca Lidl that is like 10 min by car (see the working hours as most shops have a short Friday or Wednesday and most don't work on Saturday/ Sunday).
The pool is slanted from 1 meter to 1.45 meters and there are sun lounges all around it. The pool was clean and pretty good size, showers right next to it.There is a pool bar you can order from opened all day.
The WIFI network is available in the public areas including the pool -It may reach the apartments facing the street but for sure not the ones facing the garden. The TV set is rather small and expect only SkyNews as an English language channel. The view more then compensates that fact though.

The Turlock City Council approved an increase in solid waste fees Tuesday night, after the City failed to receive the required 9,119 formal protests needed to prevent the fee hike from moving forward.
Legislation authored by Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen (R – Riverbank) to allow the use of electronic skateboards was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown Sunday.
The community is encouraged to attend Tuesday's City Council meeting to voice their thoughts and/or concerns regarding the proposed solid waste rate increase. The last approved solid waste increase was in May 2003.
The City of Turlock has received 409 letters as of Thursday protesting a proposed solid waste rate increase, far fewer than the 9,119 formal protests needed to prevent the City Council from moving forward with the fee hike. However, residents have until the end of the scheduled public hearing of the solid waste fee increase, set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, to file a complaint.
Since its grand opening a year and half ago, the Avena Bella housing complex on Linwood Avenue has become home to dozens of families, many of whom were struggling to find affordable housing in Turlock. The Mediterranean-style sustainably built apartment complex has been lauded by residents for providing a safe and family-friendly atmosphere, with amenities such as a community center, playground, technology lounge and swimming pool.
A suspicious man on a bike has members of the Denair community questioning the safety of their neighborhood.
With California in the fourth year of its most severe drought, water conservation is critical and should be a number one priority for all. Overall, the vast majority of Turlock's residents, businesses and institutions have done their part to conserve water during the drought and preserve this precious resource.
The overwhelming popularity of The Udder Place can be proven on any given weekend night.
The City of Turlock has implemented various alternative irrigation strategies for landscape maintenance at all parks and public areas in an effort to conserve water during the drought - but the City isn't just thinking of short-term conservation.
Senator Tom Berryhill (R-Twain Harte) submitted a request to Governor Jerry Brown and California Office of Emergency Services Director, Mark Ghilarducci, to declare a State of Emergency because of the threat presented by the increasing numbers of dead and dying trees in rural areas.
Pieter Hoex described to the Turlock City Council on Tuesday the traffic in front of his home near the Pitman High School campus as being like a daily "speedway," with drivers traveling at a high rate of speed through his residential neighborhood. After conveying the frequency that he sees hazardous driving on his street, he had one request of the City of Turlock: "I'd like to get a couple of speed bumps in there, the higher the better."
An external review of the public funds spent by the Turlock Chamber of Commerce to promote tourism on behalf of the City of Turlock was presented to the City Council in a special meeting on Thursday, a process the Council undertook in an effort to close out a long-standing contract between the Chamber and the City of Turlock.
As Turlock's legislative body, the members of the City Council regularly vote on policies that affect the city and its citizenry. On Tuesday, the Council got a glimpse of how their votes truly impact the community when a group of cycling enthusiasts, donned in matching 'Bike Turlock' shirts, showed their support for the City Council adopting the Active Transportation Plan with multiple rounds of applause.
The City of Turlock's investigation into how the Turlock Chamber of Commerce used public funds it received while operating the Convention and Visitors Bureau will continue on Thursday as the City Council is scheduled to receive an external audit report by Kemper CPA Group.
When Gary Soiseth was elected Mayor, he made a promise to review the way the City does business - from its budget to staffing and everything in between. After months of review Soiseth, and the entire City Council, have nailed down the City's goals into a four-year Strategic Plan.

Golden Meadow tyke could play to future generations
Published: Monday, December 10, 2007 at 1:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
GOLDEN MEADOW -- The sounds from Seth Billiots violin mixed with instruments played by his grandfather, uncle and neighbors as the band Cajun Toujour filled the Larose Regional Park with Cajun music during a recent festival.
The toddler with the wavy blond hair and cherubic face immediately stands out among his surrounding musicians, a group of men, some elderly, strumming guitars and stretching accordions.
During that performance, 2-year-old Seth planted himself next to his grandfather, a child-sized violin tucked beneath his chin, one small arm dragging a bow across the strings, his pudgy feet sticking out just past the chairs edge. He gazed up at his grandfather, Roland "Roach" Cheramie Sr., who paused a couple times from rapping a triangle to tug the bow out of Seths mouth.
Seth then wandered to a chair next to his uncle, Roland "Tee-Cajun" Cheramie Jr., who plays a violin. The boy shouted a few lyrics, still playing his miniature violin, then suddenly froze with his tongue sticking out at his uncle.
Until moments like that, it can be easy to forget the tiny musician is just 2 years old. Because most of the time, hes not playing around -- hes playing.
"He loves that," said Roland Cheramie Sr. "Thats his life."
Right now, the Golden Meadow boy learns mostly by imitating his older relatives but will likely take violin and singing lessons from his uncle when he gets a bit older, said his mother, Rhonda Billiot.
"He plays as much as possible," she said, trailing his musician family members to kid-friendly gigs.
The young Billiot shows an unusual affinity for music, his family members say. He gravitates to several instruments, often spending hours at a time playing violin or triangle. The toddler has worn out at least one child-sized violin and accordion. And guitars? "I cant count," Rhonda Billiot said. "Hes had a bunch."
The 2-year-old regularly follows his relatives in the band Cajun Toujour to play at local fairs and festivals. On a recent Friday, Seth spent several hours playing with his Uncle Roland for audiences at a Metairie restaurant, his family said.
"Im not forcing him. He wants it," Rhonda Billiot said, though to anyone watching her son, the statement seems obvious.
The toddler might get distracted for moments, staring at another musician or rising to dance, but quickly returns to one instrument or another to continue making music-even in a park filled with playing children.
Seth leans toward the violin but also enjoys playing accordion, guitar, spoons, washboard and triangle, called the "tee fer." He has a small washboard and a child-sized violin -- a new one kept at his uncles home to prevent too much wear and tear -- and will get a new child-sized guitar for Christmas, his mother said.
"He loves it. Hes into the instruments," Rhonda Billiot said. "Hell hand out instruments to everybody in the house," she said, forming an impromptu family band.
Tuesday night, he sat on the floor of his Golden Meadow home, drawing notes from an adult-sized accordion that hid much of his small body. "Ill have a hard time taking it away from him," Roland Cheramie Sr. said.
"Oh, yie yie!" Seth sang, pulling the accordion apart. From a rocking chair, his grandfather joined in on the classic Cajun song, known as "Jai passé devant ta porte."
The music-oriented family often spends evenings this way. In the past, playing Cajun music formed a fun pastime; now, its also a concentrated effort to salvage a threatened way of life.
The 71-year-old Roland Cheramie Sr. and his son, 33-year-old Roland Cheramie Jr., actively work to preserve the Cajun culture, especially through music.
"Thats what Ive dedicated my life to," the elder Cheramie said. "We losing it. We gonna bring it back."
About 10 years ago, the father-son pair teamed with three generations from another local family, the Gaspards, to form the band Cajun Toujour, the name translating to "Cajun Always." Hoyt Ledet of Golden Meadow recently joined the lineup.
The band, known for playing traditional songs in Cajun French, mostly performs at local fairs and festivals. The band has also played at the Liberty Theater in Eunice, a venue considered the Cajun-music version of the Grand Ole Opry, and has recorded one album. Roland Cheramie Jr. often travels to Lafayette and New Orleans, and sometimes outside Louisiana, to perform with other Cajun musicians. Rhonda Billiot, who plays some accordion, used to sing with another local Cajun band.
Seth showed interest in music by age 6 months, when he started crying incessantly for his older brothers violin, his mother said. "We tried to hide it from him," she said. "Eventually, he had it every day."
Rhonda Billiot said the young boy would fall asleep next to the violin, which finally broke from overuse. "He just tore it up from playing so much," she said.
Seth began shadowing his musician uncle early on, sometimes trying to grab Roland Cheramie Jr.s violin.
"He doesnt stop," Rhonda Billiot said, even playing a triangle or spoons along with music on the radio when other musicians arent around.
Seths brother, 5-year-old Jody Quinn Billiot, also began playing instruments at 6 months but would lose interest much faster, the family said. Jody sings and loves to dance but doesnt seem nearly as interested as Seth in the instruments.
Roland Cheramie Sr. and other family members are teaching both boys to speak and sing in Cajun French.
"The Cajun heritage - we have to save it, well do anything to save it," Roland Cheramie Sr. said.
So far, Seth seems more than willing to play his part in that effort.
"Hes pretty much devoted to the music, devoted and content," Rhonda Billiot said.

-- Discussion containing changed information from previous version are highlighted. --
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
Strong high pressure aloft will extend over the Southeast U.S.
through the work week, as weak disturbances pass by just north of
the region. A cold front will approach from the northwest on Friday,
then stall out just to our north and west next weekend.
As of 330 PM Tuesday...
Scattered showers and storms have already begun to fire over the
mountains, foothills, and into the northern and western Piedmont,
where CINH has vanished and MLCAPE has already risen well over 2000
J/kg. Deep layer bulk shear still isn`t great but is better than in
the last several days, as shortwave energy tracks eastward across
the OH valley and mid-Atlantic, nudging the westerlies slightly to
the south and inducing sufficient acceleration aloft to boost values
to around 20 kts across northern NC this evening. Have retained
isolated to scattered showers and storms through the evening,
starting first over the Piedmont (better coverage north and fewer
storms south), then shifting eastward into the NE Piedmont and
northern/central Coastal Plain through the evening before weakening
and dissipating with loss of heating overnight. This scenario is
supported by the latest CAM runs. A few storms could become strong,
given the degree of instability, improving wind field aloft, and
high downdraft CAPE over 1000 J/kg, but the mid level lapse rates
remain meager with no good low level mass convergence, so widespread
strong storms aren`t expected. Persistence will be followed for lows
tonight, in the lower to mid 70s. Temps over much of the CWA won`t
drop below 80 until well after midnight, exacerbating the adverse
health effects of this ongoing hot spell. -GIH
As of 345 PM TUESDAY...
The two main concerns for Wed are the storm threat and the heat. The
mid-upper level ridge will remain centered just to our SE while
extending across the Southeast states, while the weak mid level wave
continues to pass by to our north, crossing the mid-Atlantic coast.
Deep layer bulk shear will remain marginal, and the warm mid levels
will continue to curb instability over the southern sections of NC.
But both factors will be sufficient for convection initiation and
maintenance Wed afternoon across the northern CWA. With a
thermodynamic environment tomorrow similar to that of today, we
should again see scattered storms mainly across the north Wed
afternoon, lasting into the evening before weakening and exiting.
Once again, a few strong storms are possible, but weak lapse rates
and marginal winds aloft will limit this potential. A few debris mid
clouds from this evening`s convection may linger early in the day to
temper heating slightly, however thicknesses and forecast soundings
still support persistence, with highs again in the mid to upper 90s,
and dewpoints starting out in the mid-upper 70s before dropping to
70-75 in the afternoon with mixing. Heat index values are expected
to top out near or above 105 over all but the NW Piedmont tomorrow,
so will go forward with another heat advisory, along and east of a
line from Albemarle to Burlington to Kerr Lake. Lows Wed night in
the mid 70s. -GIH
.LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...
As of 230 PM Tuesday...
Beginning Thursday, the high pressure system gets suppressed ever so
slightly to the southeast and allows the remnants of the frontal
boundary over VA to creep southward, increasing pops a bit for the
northern tier of the CWA but otherwise points south should remain
fairly dry but afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be favorable
east of the Piedmont trough. Thursday night a wave is expected to
develop just north of the area and move northeastward leaving Friday
fairly dry. Afternoon convection will be possible again Friday and
Saturday afternoons as the upper level flow turns more
southwesterly. By Sunday, central NC becomes increasingly squeezed
between a surface high to our southeast and another to our
northwest. This will set up a more active pattern over the area
which will funnel moisture into the area. This should help keep
skies cloudier and bring temps down a few degrees for the beginning
of next week. Early next week an upper trough develops to help push
the frontal boundary through the area and hopefully provide some
relief to temperatures. Until then expect continued highs in the mid
90s with heat index values approaching 105 degrees.
As of 100 PM Tuesday...
VFR conditions are likely to dominate through Wed afternoon,
although scattered storms may produce localized enhanced wind gusts
and brief sub-VFR conditions late today through this evening, mainly
at INT/GSO/RDU/RWI. Strong, dry, and deep ridge of high pressure in
the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere will hold overhead for
the 24 hours and beyond. Any cloudiness will be VFR, mostly
scattered except for a period of broken clouds late today into
tonight at INT/GSO/RDU/RWI, as well as in/near any storms. Light fog
(MVFR) is possible late tonight into Wed morning, mainly at RWI/FAY,
and isolated banks of shallow, more dense fog may occur, mainly near
RWI. The overall threat of sub-VFR fog is low, but places that see a
shower or storm later today will have a better chance of seeing fog
late tonight into Wed morning. Surface winds will be light from the
southwest at 6-10 kts through Wed.
Looking beyond 18z Wed: Mostly VFR conditions are anticipated,
although late night and early morning MVFR fog is possible each day
through Fri, with a better chance of sub-VFR fog/stratus Sat/Sun.
Scattered showers/storms are again expected Wed afternoon, mainly at
the northern TAF sites. Storm chances will drop once again for Thu
and Fri, before rising again over the weekend. -GIH
Heat Advisory until 8 PM EDT this evening for NCZ007>011-
Heat Advisory from noon to 8 PM EDT Wednesday for NCZ008>011-
NEAR TERM...Hartfield
SHORT TERM...Hartfield

This app is a giant part of my life It is amazing all around. It's irritating how the artwork is disappearing now. Everything else about this app is perfect. With a nonstop growing library, I find this one to be the best. Please make a way to save your playlist so that when you move a song to your sd card it doesn't delete the song from the playlist. Good, no actually great work on the app. Loving it so far and I can't wait to see this apps future.
Currently showing some problems. I can't delete more than one song at time,if I select more than one it shows "0 songs deleted". When I change the song order in playlists it doesn't save,so when I close the app and open it again it goes back to the way it was before. Also, the "fast scroll button" doesn't show up while scrolling through playlists,it shows up when scrolling through artists and songs though, I don't know if it's intended or not.
More options please Best music player but.... List views broken on tablet portrait. Need ability to rate songs 1-5 stars. Hamburger menu is unnecessary--should be disableable. Works well with Musicbee on Windows. Tablet version of now playing screen is too cluttered. Let us use the phone ui. Need option to show software volume control.
Looks good! Shuttle+ music player is the best layout and look from a music app I've seen so far. If I could get this music player look with the powerful sound of PowerAmp, it would be the very best music app out there. I love the look and layout of Shuttle but the sound is nothing like PowerAmp. I hate the layout and look of poweramp but the sound is amazing. If we could get the best of both, wow what a powerful music app this would be.
Hands down best music player app Fast, responsive, good design, consumes very little resources. I love it except right now it always pauses after playing a song for about 10 seconds when selecting a song to play/skipping a song.
Not able to save playlist To the dev: for the past year I have been unable to save a playlist. Basically, if I make a playlist, all the songs are gone when I restart my phone. I suspect it might have something to do with my music being on an external SD card. Other music players handle this just fine. This has been going on for a while. Please fix this and I'll gladly change my rating.
What's New
- Added 'check for duplicates' when adding to playlist
- Fixed notification layout issues on G3 & G4
- Fixed issue where changes to artwork settings weren't persisted
- Potential fix for Now Playing artwork aspect ratio issue
- Crash fix for Alcatel OneTouch Pop devices
