1 Modern writers differ as to the material of which these vessels were composed. Some think that they were of variegated glass, and others of onyx; but the more general opinion is, that they were Chinese porcelain, and we have the line in Propertius, B. iv. El. 5, 1. 26. "And murrhine vessels baked on Parthian hearths." Ajasson is of opinion, from the description given by Pliny, that these vessels were made of Fluor spar, or fluate of lime. "Myrrhine" is another reading of the word.
2 "Ante hos annos." Sillig is of opinion that the reading here should be "L. Annius," and that L. Annius Bassus, who was Consul suffectus in the year 70 A.D., is the person referred to; or possibly, T. Arrius Antoninus, who was Consul suffectus, A.D. 69.

Michael Snyder is the editor of theeconomiccollapseblog.com
The crumbling U.S. economy is putting an extraordinary amount of financial stress on American families. For many Americans, "flat broke" has become a permanent condition.
Today, over half of all American families live paycheck to paycheck. Unemployment is rampant and those that do actually have jobs are finding that their wages are rising much more slowly than prices are.
The financial condition of average American families continues to decline and this is showing up in all of the recent surveys. For example, according to a new Gallup poll, "lack of money/low wages" is the number one financial concern for American families.
To make ends meet, many American families are going into even more debt and more American families than ever are turning to government assistance. Right now, more Americans than at any other point since World War II are flat broke and have lost hope. Until this changes, the frustration level in this country is going to continue to grow.

Elements of Architecture explores new ways of engaging architecture in archaeology. It conceives of architecture both as the physical evidence of past societies and as existing beyond the physical environment, considering how people in the past have not just dwelled in buildings but have existed within them. The book engages with the meeting point between these two perspectives. For although archaeologists must deal with the presence and absence of physicality as a discipline, which studies humans through things, to understand humans they must also address the performances, as well as temporal and affective impacts, of these material remains. The contributions in this volume investigate the way time, performance and movement, both physically and emotionally, are central aspects of understanding architectural assemblages. It is a book about the constellations of people, places and things that emerge and dissolve as affective, mobile, performative and temporal engagements.
This volume juxtaposes archaeological research with perspectives from anthropology, architecture, cultural geography and philosophy in order to explore the kaleidoscopic intersections of elements coming together in architecture. Documenting the ephemeral, relational, and emotional meeting points with a category of material objects that have defined much research into what it means to be human, Elements of Architecture elucidates and expands upon a crucial body of evidence which allows us to explore the lives and interactions of past societies.

Your Career Coach
Gotta Jump
Dear Michele,
I am 41 years old and am working as a Team Leader in a call center in the utilities sector. My dilemma is that I have lost the heart and drive it takes to manage people as I've been doing it now for the past 15 years. I no longer seem to have the ability to motivate people, and I seem to be finding more and more people who have a weak work ethic. I could use some guidance on how to re-market myself out of management and into a role which is judged solely on my performance such as Business Analyst, Project Coordinator or something similar.
— Seeking Change
Dear Seeker,
First, ask yourself: Do I want to stay at this company? If so (and it's the easiest path to a new position), identify the actual positions that are most appealing to you and talk to people who hold those jobs now to find out what they're really like. Next step — go to your supervisor and discuss how you see your professional track unfolding. It's not unusual for people in management to move to a non-management position.
If the company values you and your experience (and my guess is the fact that you've been there 15 years is a great testimony to your skills), then they will make it possible for you to switch to the new role. You may require some training — and when you talk to the people who have the kinds of job you'd like, find out what skills and training they have that you don't. This knowledge will give you a sense of what you need to do as well as the overall the nature of the job.

Koyasan | ||||
Lake Tazawa |
In Japan, some of the most interesting places are born from legends. Lake Tazawa definitely falls in this category. It's part of the legend of the three lakes of Akita (Lake Tazawa, Lake Towada, and Hachiro Lagoon). Here is the short version: |
Jigoku Meguri (The Hell Tour) |
A tour of the 8 levels of hell hot springs. All of them are different colors and have a different natural beauty to them. **you are not able to get in the hot springs** |
Koiwai Farm |
Nestled at the foot of Mt. Iwate, Koiwai Farm is a veritable playground for nature lovers and gourmets alike. The farm is open to the public almost all year, offering special events and activities with each changing season. One of the interesting perks of going in the off-season (mid-November to mid-April) is free admission to the "Makiba-en" tourist facilities. |
Kakunodate |
Step off the train and enter the "little Kyoto of the North". It's no surprise why people call it as such! Kakunodate has all the charm of Kyoto, but in a more compact less tourist-ridden package. Don't let that fool you though. There is plenty to do and see in Kakunodate. The most famous sites in the area happen to be the samurai houses. Only six of the many houses are open to the... |
Matsushima |
There are three famous "scenic spots" in Japan. Matsushima is one of them. While there certainly are plenty of other areas in Japan which are just as gorgeous, Matsushima sure can hold its own. Why is that? I'll let Matsuo Basho tell you what's up: Matsushima ah! Those were his exact words when the famous poet first laid eyes upon... |
Tomita Farm |
If you have never seen flower sea, you should definitely go Tomita Farm and have a look of it. They have three different flower sea. The biggest one is inside the Farm. There is a building where people can go and buy souvenir downstairs, and upstairs people can visit the small lavender display room which displays different kinds of lavender and the history of the farm. |
Mt. Fuji |
Climbing Mt. Fuji to see day break over Japan is a must do for those visiting Japan during the late summer months. A person that is relatively in good shape should not have a problem climbing this mountain and only takes about 1.5 days to do it. |

LACRIMAL DUCT PATTENCY Anatomy of the lacrimal apparatus It is situated in upper orbital outer lacrimal side Function of the lacrimal apparatus Lacrimal tears which secretates from lacrimal gland enters into cornea through palpebral conjunctiva ductless conjunctival sac. This helps to make cornea transparent and fertile
Parts of the lacrimal sac Punctum Canaliculai Lacrimal sac Naso lacrimal duct Lacrimal gland
Punctum Punctum is surrounded by fibrous tissue Two types of punctum Upper punctum ( 6mm from medial canthus ) Lower punctum ( 6.5mm from medial canthus ) Punctum diameter – 0.2mm Interval between upper and lower punctum was 0.5mm If it touches, punctum blocks
canaliculai Types of canaliculi Upper canaliculi Lower canaliculi Junction of upper and lower canaliculi is called common canaliculi Another name – Ampulla Vertical diameter a 1 – 2 mm Horizontal diameter a 7 – 8 mm
Lacrimal sac Parts of lacrimal sac Fundus of the sac ( 3mm from lacrimal sac) Body of the sac ( 10 mm from lacrimal sac) Two layers Epithelium layer Subtantia Propia layer Sac diameter a 11 – 13 mm Thickness a 2 -3 mm
Naso lacrimal duct Naso lacrimal duct is presented below the lacrimal sac Two parts Intra ascessary part ( bone part ) Intra mural part ( muscles part ) Diameter 18mm
Examination of lacrimal duct Helps to find out the block in the lacrimal sac and naso lacrimal duct Things needed 2cc syringe Normal saline ( Ringer lactate ) Anaesthetic drops ( Iignox 4% ) Sterile wipper 26 gauge sharpless & crooked needle Kidney tray
Practical Explain to the patient Make the patient to lie down Nurses should wash and dry her hands Before putting anaesthetic drops, explain the burning sensation and ask them to look up. Put the drosp in pouching method without touch of cornea Duct should no be seen in dark places First put the drops, then dry with wiper, take 11/2cc saline from the 2cc syringe, insert the duct needle into the syringe, check the flow of the fluid.
Then find the duct Make the patient to look up, then pull the lower lid down and insert the needle into the punctum correctly and turn it towards the nose, press the biston slowly. When the fluid freely enters into the nose, throat, the duct is free When half of the fluid came out through the upper punctum the duct is partially free with clear fluid. When it fully came out through the upper punctum, the duct is not free with clear fluid When pus came out of the upper punctum, the duct is not free with pus ( yelow ) When it fully came out through the same punctum, the duct is not free with clear fluid through the same punctum. When half of the fluid came out through the same punctum the duct is partially free with clear fluid through the same punctum.
When mucous came out of the upper punctum, the duct is not free with mucous ( white jelly ) Underline the result the with red ink except free duct. Occasionally when we press the sac area, mucous or pus came out through the lower punctum, it is called regurgitation of over pressure of the lacrimal sac ( ROPLAS +ve ) Some times the fluid came out through the near the hole is called fistula. If the sac area swells, when we press it half fluid enter into the throat and the remains went out, it is called A – tonic sac. If we cannot press the biston into the upper and lower punctum it is called canaliculi block. If the punctum does not appear clear, it is called punctum block
Duct should be must Watering discharge Corneal ulcer All surgery patients ( expects children ) Post op DCT, DCR Should not be seen Conjunctivitis ACCO Lacrimal abscess Lid tear

Kostas was very pleasant and a welcoming Host. He picked us up at the Pireus Port and drove us across Athens to his home, and to the airport very early the next morning. This service is why we booked to stay at Kostas's for a quick overnight at the end of our trip to Greece and Turkey. If you are looking for an alternative to an expensive airport hotel at Athens, this is a good choice as you will also be able to get to experience a little of an authentic Greek seaside neighborhood. The house is actually three different apartments. We were put in the lower apartment so there was no view of the sea, but there is a nice patio area to relax after a day in busy Athens!
Heather June 2015Kostas is a wonderful host. He was always very communicative and polite, and made us feel always like we were at home. He has a beautiful house, very close to the Athens´s airport. Kostas prepared a sheet with recommendations of what to do nearby. The house was very clean and conmfy. I super recommend staying at Kostas´ house!
HomeroJune 2016We needed a place close to the airport as our flight left early. Kosta's place was great, lot's of space, clean and quiet. We arrived late so weren't able to enjoy the terrace or any of the facilities but everything looked great. We had some problems finding the place as our navigation system took us to a street of the same name in a neighbor village. Kostas was helpful to navigate us. Thanks Kostas for everything!
MartinApril 2015We had a great experience with kostas. Our flight came in super late around 1 in the morning and he was already there to pick us up. We were only there for one night but it was a super convenient way of finding a quick place to stay at before we went to Athens center. The bus is close by and super cheap took us to the center in about 50 minutes. Everything was great thank you again.
MichaelJune 2016Best experience - highly recc
Natasha August 2016Stayed here for a night to attend a beach side concert. Very spacious and homey - everything we needed and more! Very pretty garden. Kosta was easygoing and helpful. For a small fee he took us to the airport the day after. Thank you!
LeilaAugust 2015Kostas is realy open very communitief and very help full. Easy and clear about the rules.the house is realy good security and realy good and clean. Kitchen is a bit out of date but the equitment is stil usefull. I wil recommend to stay there again.
JohnNovember 2016Excellent place for an affordable stop after or before a flight. Fairly close to the airport and easy to find on the GPS. The neighborhood seems scary at first with all the vandalism, but they have a security fence and the people there are actually very nice and laid back! A pleasant stay!

The apartment is very good, I recommend. I was in the apartment in the winter, the room was warm, but in the living room cold even with the heater. I think so cold in all the houses in the region. Come to Lille in the summer. Distance to the sea 1 minute.
YuryJanuary 2017Lila was a wonderful host. Great communication and very helpful in helping us with transportation to and from the airport. Our stay was short, would have liked to have longer to explore this part of Athens. Could highly recommend for those needing a place to stay near ATH.
NolanOctober 2016Excellent location Lila was very helpful and informative
AnishJanuary 2017Truly a wonderful stay. Very clean apartment in the heart of Loutsa overlooking the beautiful beach. Next to restaurants, stores and gorgeous sandy beaches. A gem to say the least, very spacious apartment with all the amenities you need for a wonderful stay and vacation. Lila was a gracious host, very accomadating always there when you needed her. I recommend your stay at this beautiful apartment by the beach.... beautiful memories will be made. By far a 10 star stay!!!!
marianaJuly 2016We had a very nice time in Lila's apartment. The beach is really near just across the road, also the supermarket and pharmacy is very close. Also Lila as host is very kind, helped with everything we needed and provided useful tips for sightseeing. Come and see for yourself, we surely recommend!
MartinAugust 2016Lila was very nice,she is a great host. Always helpful. Apartment was nice and clean The area is not the best, nothing much to do there (but our opinion)
MelissaOctober 2016Lila's communication from booking to check in was excellent. However I would have appreciated more details about local shops/restaurants/historical sites. I would also have appreciated knowing in advance that the electrical system could not handle more than a couple of devices at a time ( this lead to losing power one night which could not be reset from the apartment when I tried to operate the heating and cooker at the same time). The kitchen equipment is quite basic and could have been cleaner.
elizabethDecember 2016It is not often that one's expectations are exceeded, but on my recent stay at Lila's apartment, they were perfectly located, excellently equipped. It was a delight to stay here. Lila is wonderful! Highly recommended!

We hebben dit appartement van 12 tot 19 mei gehuurd vanwege een korte vakantie nabij Athene. Het was onze eerste ervaring met Airbnb en die is prima bevallen. Bij de reservering was er wat onduidelijkheid over de tariefstelling met de verhuurder maar hier zijn we door bemiddeling van airbnb prima uitgekomen. De ontvangst was zeer hartelijk. De verhuurder Anna Peter had voor ons een taxi geregeld hetgeen vlekkeloos verliep. Bij aankomst in Artemida werden 's avonds na aankomst opgewacht door onze host Marie met haar dochter en nog een medewerkster die ons een rondleiding door het appartement gaven. Ook was de koelkast gedeeltelijk gevuld zodat we de volgende dag eerst konden ontbijten, prima geregeld ! We hebben een prachtige week gehad. Het weer was geweldig en tegenover het appartement was het strand van Artemida waar we heerlijk hebben gezwommen. Tevens kon je prachtig langs de kustlijn wandelen richting Rafina en kreeg de kust daar een meer rotsachtig karakter, erg mooi. Het centrum van Athene was goed bereikbaar met openbaar vervoer (bus/metro). Het appartement was ruim, schoon, qua keuken en sanitair sober, maar qua prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding prima in orde. De strandpromenade van Artemida kent vele restaurantjes waar je voor weinig geld goed kunt eten. In het weekend is het er gezellig druk. Het is vooral georiënteerd op de Grieken zelf (weinig buitenlandse touristen) en dat is erg leuk. De mensen kwamen erg hartelijk over. Een minpunt vond ik zelf het vele zwerfvuil wat je op het strand en in de straten van Artemida tegenkwam. Naar mijn mening doet de stad en de prachtige omgeving zichzelf hiermee tekort. Al met al zien we terug op een bijzondere en prachtige week in Artemida en kunnen we een ieder, die overweegt een vakantie in de buurt van Athene te nemen, dit appartement aanbevelen.

Thansis was an excellent host. He waited for us late at night when we arrived, Helped & explained any question arising The house was very clean and in Excellent location, overall it was a good experience Thank you Thansis
HaSeptember 2016Wonderful, well decorated home in an excellent location. Thanasis Armaos was possibly the most gracious host I've ever encountered, and he went above and beyond to accommodate us. We arrived very late and he was willing to escort us to the home from the airport, and the next morning he brought fresh fruit and made some excellent coffee. He ensured we had everything we needed to get on the road to Meteora and gave us excellent tips regarding the journey. The second night we stayed in his place, he took us into town and introduced us to an amazing seafood experience on the beach. I have only the best things to say about Thanasis, and if I ever find myself in need of accommodation in the Athens region again, my decision will be an easy one.
JosephJune 2015Thansis was an excellent host. He waited for us late at night when we arrived, Helped & explained any question arising The house was very clean and in Excellent location, overall it was a good experience Thank you Thansis
HaSeptember 2016Thanasis place was our first stop in Greece and boy did it set the bar. The house was clean and just like the pictures. As tourists in a foreign country we underestimated how much help we needed. Thanasis went above and beyond helping us get things we needed along with being our personal tour guide. The house is perfect for relaxing and socializing. A great way to see the Greek suburbs and beach life. Very close to airport, about a 15 minute drive. Thank you so much Thanasis, for making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
DestinieJune 2016When we booked with Thanasis, we were impressed by all the positive comments on his page about his welcome. In the end we found that they were fully deserved! Thanasis really made us feel at home and was very concerned about our well being. He had prepared many things for us (including juices, food and mosquito repellent!). He welcomed us in person and also came back when we left. The house is close to the airport and it was fun going there through the back entrance feeling like VIPs :-) (but also means hearing the planes at night). As it is not specified, the house has 2 bedrooms with double beds and there are on top of that 2 single beds in one of them (one single bed can be moved to another room). So 6 people is not overcrowded at all. And for one final comment: big thumbs up for the jacuzzi bathtub!
Agnès et PacômeSeptember 2015Thanasis made our vacation even more joyful then we could have hope for. He was always by our side when we needed help and offered guidance and advices any time. Everytime nice and polite, funny and always finding a way to make our stay more comfortable. Plus his house is really great! If we ever decide to visit Attica again, we sure will know where to stay:).
DanielAugust 2016Upon arrival, Thanasis collected us and brought us for a lovely meal on the beach. He is very friendly and knowledgable. He went beyond the normal duties of an Airbnb host. He was like our private chauffeur. We highly recommend Thanasis to future hosts.
JanJune 2016we can only say good things about Thanasis and his house. The house is very spacious and clean, the garden is very large, with flowers and fruit trees and the view is like a story. We have received all necessary guidance to enable us to handle. We recommend to anyone wanting a holiday in Athens, Greece Thanasis house

Theo and Maria were very nice, and helpful. We loved their house and their dog!The place is close to the airport and walking distance to the water. I would not visit there for the beach, coming from Florida it is not up to par. The area is somewhat isolated with very little to do within walking distance. There are bus stations conveniently located near the house but they all required a ride too lengthy for our purposes. It is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the airport and there is a nice bus close by the house.
LisaMay 2015Maria and Theodor are very welcoming hosts, always available for a transfer from/to the airport, good suggestions, nice to chat with them anytime. The house is bright and cosy with a beautiful garden and close to the beach and facilities. Thanks again!
FabianaDecember 2014It was a good experience in staying Toe' home. They welcomed nicely and enjoyable. The location is little far from the city, but closer to Airport.
MujeeburOctober 2016I had a wonderful stay with Theodor and his wife. They picked me up from the airport and dropped me off very early the next morning. Their home is beautiful and they are very kind. I appreciated the recommendations given and the breakfast provided.
SadeApril 2016Theodor and Maria were very warm and welcoming. We had some trouble finding the place and arrived later than expected. They kept coming back to check for us and were extremely gracious with our late arrival. They drove us around the area a bit to show us good places to eat and pretty beaches. Theodor even took us to see a beautiful sunrise spot on our way to the airport in the morning. The house was even better than the pictures. Everything was so nice and clean and very beautiful. They had prepared a map in advance for us and overall this was a great stay!
BethanyApril 2015Avoid at all cost... Hosts were very condescending and unwelcoming. They acted like they were doing as a huge favor when it came to anything and it was very very unpleasant and disheartening. They offered to make us reservations for a taxi to take us to the airport and then when I asked them to do that, it was suddenly too late. Their house is nice but it's in the middle of no where not walking distance from anything worthwhile. Also upon arrival there was no one there to let us in or help us in any way we stood in the sun luggage and all for 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get inside. Terrible experience overall.
LukeJuly 2016Really nice place, close to the beach and bus stop. Very nice house (with hot tub!) Also Theo and Maria were very helpful, welcoming, and kind. They made you feel right at home and helped us figure out where to go and how to get there. I highly recommend this place!
HelenMarch 2015Theo and Maria are very kind hosts! They made us feel very welcomed and even organized a Birthday cake as a surprise for my husband! We spent a nice dinner together and had some interesting conversations! The room and bathroom were great - super clean. The house is very inviting. They helped us organize our transfer to the airport the next morning which went really smoothly. The proximity to the airport makes it very convenient if you're on transit. Definitely worth a stay!

We arrived a bit late to joe's and he kindly asked someone to pick us up from the bus station which was great. It would have been really hard to find our way to his place in the dark. I think the '150m from the hotel' may have been 'as the crow flies' as it would have taken about 15-20mins to walk along lots of dark alleys. We chose this place because of its proximity to the airport. And indeed, the morning was brilliant. Joe arranged for a driver to pick us up and take us to the airport which took about 20mins. There is a 24hour bus from central Athens but this would take around an hour and would have meant getting no sleep for our super early flight. The apartment itself was spacious, and the bed comfortable. Its in a residential area with not many obvious tourist attractions. My boyfriend was kept awake by dog's barking at night, but I slept through. The shower was cold this morning, but that might have been because it was 4:30am. Lots of stairs to get to, and bring a torch if you're arriving at night. Also, although Joe provided an electric mosquito repellent, it wasn't as effective as some of the other types and we both got bitten.
HarrietSeptember 2016Well, we stayed a second night in Joe's appartment for the same reason as it is a very close place to the airport and pretty cheap compare to the others. So I will have the same comments as the previous one. Except that, his friend should bring us from the airport to his appartment but there were some troubles and we waited more than one hour there. But the guy was still nice and very sorry. And the next day, he brought us at the airport and was on time.
PaulineMay 2015Really loved the place. It was rustic, quite basic - but you get a whole place to yourself with a nice little terrace - and a beautiful sea view. For us it wasn't so good as we needed to be close to the airport and couldn't get the lift described on air bnb blurb. So not good if you need to be close to the airport as it takes a long time on the bus and a taxi is expensive. Having said that I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all, it's in a really beautiful area and the beaches are quiet and secluded..
TamsinSeptember 2014Joe dealt with my missing my bus very speedily & efficiently. Amazing value apartment in a sleepy (out of season) town not far from Athens, and even closer to the airport. Ideal for a stopover. My first airbnb experience, and a very good one.
ThomasMay 2014Joe is a great host, he did his best to make me feel comfortable during my stay in Greece, and he is always friendly, polite and easy to talk with. The house is also very comfortable, it has everything you need: a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, and a big balcony with great view to the sea. The beach is very close, only a 10-15-minute walk, and also at a 10-minute walk distance you can find super markets and the bus stop, to take the bus, any time you want to visit the the center of Athens. Everything was so great, that I decided to extend my stay for one more week, and for sure I will make a new reservation when I visit Greece again.
NickSeptember 2014Cheap place to stay quite close from the airport (20 min by car). It's not 4 stars rooms but for that price you cannot expect much more. And Joe is really helpfull and reactive if you need him.
frédéricMay 2015Good: joe was very nice and helpful, responded quickly to messages and calls Bad: ok. So you can't expect much for 40$ a night, but we seriously had the worst night of our lives. The neighborhood was ridiculously loud, kids were constantly yelling, and dogs were barking all night. The windows had NO screens. There was no AC so we had to open them during the night for some air cause it was hot. My boyfriend got over 50 mosquito bites. There was no hot water, we had ice cold showers. The place is run down, needs serious renos.
JoumanaAugust 2014Sunrise view is amazing at the balcony :) Although I didn't get to meet Joe personally, he made great efforts to help with whatever I needed - which is to arrange an early transport to the airport, by one of his tenants living below. When that did not succeed, he kindly arranged us a taxi.

We have enjoyed our 10 days holiday Yannis's house. We found the house comfortable for our needs: we have two toddlers who enjoyed the garden and played outside a lot. The area is quiet and the house is comfortable and cool even in a very hot day. The shops are really close to the house so it is easy to get all the supplies. We didn't have a car and we did everything by foot/ bus. We have found that the best beach for us was in Vraona and we got there by bus as didn't want to walk with the buggy and two young children on the road. The nearby beach hotel is very close but it is very difficult to access it with a double buggy, we did tried it only ones. Yannis has always responded promptly to our questions and kindly provided two high chairs and travel cots for our toddlers which was great. Thank you Yannis for letting us stay in your house.
MartaOctober 2015We stayed for three weeks in July with our toddler and baby and found the house absolutely perfect for our needs. It has everything you could need for a family holiday and the little garden with terrace in front is a real oasis in the summertime. The house is also blessed with ocean breezes almost all the time so stays nice and cool even on the hottest days. As a host, Yannis was amazing from start to finish. Very friendly, quick to answer all our questions, accommodating, and very kind and understanding when we had an emergency and contacted him. Would recommend having a car so you can easily explore all the beaches in the area. We will certainly return at the earliest opportunity!
CatherineAugust 2015We were 4 adults and 3 children. We loved how the house and the garden was arranged, they are very pleasant, ergonomic and pratical. We found there everything we needed (dishwasher, mixer, good beds, extra mattress for the baby crib, hammac, barbecue,...). Yannis made some shopping for us before our arrival and prepared a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) document with informations about the house and the places to see around, very helpful and complete. The few nearest beaches (15 minutes by walk, or 3 min by bus) are little and pretty (and not crowded). You can do everything by walk or with Yannis's bike (we didn't have car). To sum up, we had a lot of fun !
LucileAugust 2014The host was really nice and forthcoming. The description of the house is very realistic and the house itself was even more beautiful than expected from the pictures. Also the paper we received from the host with the instructions was really accurate and helpful. Everything was clean and in perfect shape and we were able to enjoy the comfort of a supermarket nearby and the beach located at only 10 minutes walk. We were travelling with 5 kids (aged 3 to 6) and it was just perfect!
ceciliaSeptember 2015We stayed at Yannis his house for 5 weeks for our internship and we enjoyed it very much! The house looks amazing and everything inside and outside is so nice, the neihgbourhood is also good you have everything that you need so we will definitly come back to his house :) thank you for staying at the little cube near the sea!
LeoJune 2015We were 8 students living for two weeks in the house and it was perfect ! First, the house is even better than on the pictures : a nice rooftop to enjoy the view,a garden and a terrace to enjoy the outdoor but protected from the sun so perfect to have lunch or play cards when it's too hot. Then, Yannis was perfect by helping us in whatever we needed. He trusted us for everything. All the comfort was in the house (air conditionning, perfect beds, three bathrooms, barbecue...). We didnt have a car but it wasnt a problem with the buses and by foot. I really recommend the house !!! Everything around the house is worth to see and people are very nice.
CamilleAugust 2015We enjoyed our two week holiday at Yannis's lovely house. It was perfect for us three, everyone had their own room. The area is quiet, the shops are quite near where you can easily get what you need. The house is very comfy, is nicely decorated and cool in a hot day. The garden is very neat. All nearby beaches were accesible and clean. Yannis and Camilla have been a very helpful and nice hosts, they gave us a PDF which listed the best beaches, restaurants etc. which helped a lot. Overall a very pleasant vacation, thank you very much for having us, Yannis and Camilla!
LeaAugust 2016La maison était très bien! Nous étions 7 amis et la maison était adaptée pour notre nombre. Yannis a repondu très vite quand nous avions des questions et les photos reflètent la réalité! Très bon séjour!

Theoni is a great host! She guided us to the villa and has been very helpfull all week. Whenever we needed something, she would be a text or phonecall away! Also, the villa is great and the environment is beautiful! Thanks for everything!
JessicaAugust 2015This was such a lovely home to stay in. The house is well kept and the garden too. 8 of us stayed there (2 families) and there was plenty of room. It's the ideal place to relax and aso as a base to sight see. Theoni was super friendly and really made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She was always quick to respond to any requests or questions too. What a lovely host and a lovely house. Maybe we will return one day.
BonnyAugust 2015This could not have been a better trip. The house is more beautiful than advertised, great views and amenities including a beautiful outdoor kitchen. Theoni, our host, was fantastic. She met us and took us to the house, arranged for a wonderful guide at a great price. If you are from Greece, it's a great house and you will love it and I highly recommend it for travelers who do not speak or read the language. Theoni's help made our fun, unique and completely stress-free!!
LeighApril 2013The Vila was amazing! It has everything needed, thr pool and the 2 balconies are great and the view is beautiful! Theony was great, very warm welcoming! She came to pick us up from the airport and took care of everything we asked or needed!
SivanJuly 2016We did a fashion shoot at Theoni's beautiful house and I can only imagine it being a perfect place to stay and relax! She was more than welcoming and made arragements for us that were above and beyond normal hosting--she even spent the day there to make sure everything went smoothly. I would reccomend staying at this house to my friends, it was beautiful and very well decorated. Thank you Theoni!

A great experience that we had in Greece. I really like the way and communication with the people from the house, no complains at all the house was clean and quite comfortable. I would definitely go again.
jorge fernandoMay 2016I cannot say enough how perfect this house is. It's very private, beautifully, designed/decorated, and has everything you could need and more. There is plenty of seating and furniture to relax in. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and BBQ area. We ate dinner out there nightly. Christina was very gracious and helpful. There is store right up the street and in a good location to go see the sights. We went to the beach right by the home and the water was clear with great restaurants there. I would love to return.
ElizabethSeptember 2016We had a wonderful long week at the lovely house. Christina's hospitality was superb She Picked us from the airport And drove us to her villa The fridge was full with groceries she bought and she even cooked for us The villa is well decorated , well equipped and air conditioned and very very comfortable . We were 7 people and all of us felt like home The garden is nice same as the swimming pool So To summarize this is the best bargain for your money if you are looking for a lucrative house in Greece

Eugene and Tatiana are lovely hosts. It was fun and interesting to visit with them, and Eugene was very helpful in getting us to the airport on time. Their home is beautiful with every amenity needed. We are so grateful to have spent our last night in Greece with such delightful people!
SallySeptember 2016Our stay at Eugene's house was superb! Our room spotless, tidy and very spacious. We're welcomed with a bottle of wine, which I thought was very kind of him. The next morning, we woke up with a fantastic Greek breakfast that he personally made. He also brought us to a cool restaurant near the beach and stayed with us until our last minute in Athens. Thank you very much for all your kindness and hospitality, Eugene!
RoyMay 2016Eugene rented nice and clean rooms in a quiet cottage area. an excellent place to stay with an open and helpful host. With many thanks from Sabine + Mario, Germany!
Neu-ArchitektenOctober 2015Eugene was an amazing host! He picked me up from my previous hotel and even arranged for taxi to take me the airport next day. He was gracious and very friendly . The house is beautiful and clean, and 5 min away from beach. It was a great experience!
XintongJuly 2015Everything was fine. The host made everything possible to make my stay pleasant and helped me a lot by taking me to the airport and accompanied me to the gate. THANK YOU, EUGENE.
UteMay 2015Eugene is a very nice and helpfull host ( and great cook- next morning he prepared such a tasty breakfast ). He welcomed us at the airport, organized two cars ( for six people) to deliver us to his house, next morning he organized also two cars to Marina Alimos. He even took care of us after our vacation. He organized transport from Marina to the airport. It is a pity we only stayed for one night. The house is big and has everything you need. If I go to Athens once again I will chose only Eugene. He is unique. Karolina
KarolinaAugust 2015Eugene pick up us at Rafina with 2 taxis and arranged the taxis for the next morning @ 3.00. Close to the beach, close to a cool Souvlakis restaurant (good and cheap). The rooms are 100% clean. Everything was easy and friendly. Highly recommended !

Thansis is very kind and helpful! And the room is the best I lived in Athens!
YichenNovember 2015We had a great time staying the night over at Thanasis's place, and it was indeed very close to the airport, about 10 min down a country road. Thanasis was very welcoming and very accommodating, with great communication. The room was wonderful, and his whole house that he built himself is marvelous. We planned on going to sleep a little early since our flight was at 6am the next morning, but instead we stayed up till past 2am having a very lively discourse with Thanasis about politics, Greek life, and the world in general :) It was a classic Greek experience! We definitely recommend his place to anyone who is looking for a great and cozy place not too far from your flight the next day
MaxSeptember 2016Thanasis is such a great host. He is friendly, thoughtful and try his best to help the guest. Very quick responses and good communication as well. He picked me up from the hotel in the city and dropped me off at the airport next morning at 5:30 am with a very reasonable fee. He has a beautiful house less than 15 mins drive from the airport. The room is well decorated and the bed is very comfortable. I only stayed for one night this time really wish I can stay a bit longer. I would like to recommend Thanasis's house to anyone who staying in Athens.
Crystal October 2015Thanasis is very welcoming and friendly. The house, place and owner are amazing! The house is very well situated, near the airport. The room is comfortable, clean and very quiet, and he has a very nice garden. He came to the airport, ride to see the sea and the mountain. Besides, Thanasis offers a hearty breakfast. We were very happy to stay there. We recommend to everybody.
AnneApril 2015Thanasis was really helpful to us, we decided to stay at his place to be nearby the airport, so when we ask him about how to get to his place he offer himself to pick us up for a fare price.
SamanthaOctober 2015Thanasis is a very welcoming host. He picked me up at the metro station and the next morning brought me to the airport (at 5 am!). In the evening he took me to a restaurant where we ate delicious fish. His house is friendly and clean, there is everything you need. I would definitely recommend a stay at Thanasis' house.
LouiseOctober 2015Perfect first night in Greece. Even with our flight being delayed late into the evening, Thanasis was there to pick us up and took us to go get excellent food! Then, he got up super early to drive us right back to the airport, but not until after he gave us coffee and pastries for breakfast. My only regret is that we didn't get to stay with him longer.
DanielJune 2015Thanasis was one of the best "5 hour friend" that i met in years Great place by the airport with amazing room to sleep in! Whats even better was that we were able to have incredible conversation because of how interesting his personality was. If you need a room and a friend, this place is what you are looking for. Thank you for the overwhelming hospitality buddy.

The simple rule (prescribed) is that the two phrases are not interchangeable. With their accompanying words, "due to" and "because of" operate as adjectival and adverbial prepositional phrases.
So 'due to' modifies nouns and is generally used after some form of the verb to be (is, are, was, were, etc.) as in this example:
The heavy snowfall was due to El Nino.(the phrase after the connecting verb "was" is working as an adjective modifying the noun "snowfall")
On the other hand the phrase "because of" modifies verbs as in this example:
The snowfall came because of the effects of El Nino.( the phrase modifies the verb "came.)

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to lighting systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a sequencer for a remotely illuminated lighting system, and a method of producing a sequenced light pattern.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
Airports incorporate a system of lighting to provide guidance to approaching aircraft. The conventional aircraft approach lighting system (ALS) includes groups of incandescent lamps distributed over a field, lighting several thousand feet of the approach to the runway within specific requirements for angular light distribution, color and intensity. One aspect of the ALS is a series of lights extending along the centerline of the runway that are illuminated in sequence to guide an approaching aircraft along the landing path. Such sequentially illuminated light series are often referred to as "rabbit" lights.
The rabbit lights used in the ALS are typically high intensity incandescent lamps. A mechanical switching system or an electronic controller typically controls a flow of current to each of the lamps for illumination in the desired sequence. The mechanical switching system uses mechanical switches and a switch actuator mechanism, such as a rotating camshaft, to sequentially close the switches. As the switches close, an electric circuit is completed allowing current to flow to an associated lamp. Electro-mechanical relays can replace the mechanical switches. Selective application of current to the relay coil causes opening and closing of the relay contacts for completing the electric circuit. A suitable programmable logic controller, or other control device, may be used to provide the sequenced relay coil currents. In an entirely electronic controller, high-current capacity switching transistors are used to couple current to the lamps in the appropriate sequence.
The mechanical switching systems, including those based upon electromechanical relays, suffer from an increased incidence for maintenance. The switch contacts are prone to wear that must be monitored, and at the appropriate time the contacts must be replaced. Electronic controllers are expensive, and have substantial cooling requirements for the high-current capacity transistors. An additional problem with the use of incandescent lamps in the ALS rabbit lighting system lies with monitoring the many light sources, i.e., each incandescent lamp, for failure. The availability of the ALS is dependent on the number and location of failed lamps in the system. Existing monitoring systems rely on observed lamp currents to infer if a lamp is operating properly. Many factors, including the condition of the contacts and the age of the lamp may effect these current readings resulting in false readings and false indications of lamp failure. Replacing failed lamps is a significant cost owing to the required human and equipment resources and the cost of the lamps. Additionally, diagnosis of lamp failure is not limited to the lamp itself but must also include diagnosis of the mechanical switching system or electronic controller thereby adding time and cost to the maintenance process.
Other applications of sequentially illuminated lighting systems include aerial obstruction lighting systems, road hazard lighting systems, building signage, and the like. Similar to the ALS rabbit lighting system, these systems too rely on a distributed network of incandescent lamps. Failure of an obstruction beacon atop a radio tower can have disastrous consequences for aircraft operating in the area. Replacing failed lamps is not a simple operation, and is certainly not for the faint of heart, as a technician is typically required to scale the tower structure to access the lamp for replacement.
Thus there is a need for a sequencing system that does not rely on mechanical switching and/or electronic switching for generating a light sequence pattern. Additionally, here is a need for a sequenced light system that overcomes the limitations of sequenced light systems relying on a distributed network of incandescent lamps as light sources.
It is therefore a primary object of the invention to provide a lighting system sequencer hat eliminates mechanical or electronic current switching components.
It is also a primary object of the invention to provide a lighting system sequencer adaptable to a remote illumination source that is selectively coupled to a plurality of light distributing devices.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a remotely illuminated light distribution system including a lighting system sequencer meeting the first principal object of the present invention.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method of providing a sequenced light distribution pattern.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide a low cost lighting system sequencer having greatly reduced operational maintenance requirements.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighting system including a centralized light source, a lighting system sequencer, a fiber optic light distribution system and a plurality of luminaires for achieving a precise sequenced system of lighting.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the present invention, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation.

1. Resume
A remotely illuminated lighting system incorporates a lighting system sequencer for providing a sequenced distribution of light signals to a plurality of light distribution devices (or luminaires). An illumination source provides focused light signals to the lighting system sequencer. The lighting system sequencer includes an optical scanner and an electronic controller for selectively directing the light signals to individual optical fibers of a fiber-optic distribution system. The optical fibers couple the light signals to the luminaires, which sequentially illuminate in accordance with a desired pattern.
2. Remotely Illuminated Lighting Systems
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, a remotely illuminated lighting system 10 is adaptable for operation as: 1) an approach path illuminator in an approach lighting system (ALS), 2) a marine or aircraft navigation lighting system or 3) an obstruction lighting system. Numerous other applications of remotely illuminated lighting system 10 may be envisioned. The remotely illuminated lighting system 10 includes operatively coupled: 1) a light source 12, 2) a power supply 14, 3) a light manipulating assembly 15 including collecting, coupling and focusing optics 16, and a lighting system sequencer 18, and 4) a plurality of optical fiber cables 20. Light source 12 receives electrical energy from power supply 14 and provides a substantially continuous supply of light energy to light manipulating assembly 15, and particularly, optics 16. Optics 16 collects, focuses and couples the light energy to lighting system sequencer 18. Lighting system sequencer 18 includes an optical scanner 22, an electronic controller 24 and a plenum 26. Under control of electronic controller 24, optical scanner 22 operates to selectively couple the light energy via plenum 26 to selective ones of the optical fiber cables 20. Each of the fiber-optic cables 20 are respectively coupled at a distal end to a luminaire (for example, 108 in FIG. 3 and 208, 210 and 212 in FIG. 4) adapted to diffuse the light into a desired distribution pattern. The luminaires may be of any suitable construction to receive and distribute light signals via fiber-optic cable, but are preferably of the construction shown in the afore-mentioned United States patent applications.
More particularly, and with reference to FIG. 2, light source 12 emits light energy 42 in the visible range. Optics 16 includes a parabolic reflector 30 that collects the light energy 42 and directs a collected beam of light energy 44 toward focusing lens 32. Focusing lens 32 concentrates the light energy into a focused beam 46 of converging light energy that is directed toward optical scanner 22. Optical scanner 22 preferably includes a scanning or rotating mirror 34 including a reflecting surface 36. Reflecting surface 36 is formed to further direct beam 46 onto a curved coupling surface 38 of plenum 26 at a point of intense light energy 48. Adapted to coupling surface 38 is a plurality of couplers 40 spaced about coupling surface 38 for receiving each of the plurality of fiber-optic cables 20. As seen, curved coupling surface 38 is formed with an arcuate shape and is positioned to remain at a substantially constant radial distance from mirror 34 corresponding to the focal length of mirror 34. Mirror 34 is coupled to a suitable mechanical drive mechanism, as is very well known in the art, for providing an appropriate scanning and/or rotation motion, e.g., in the direction indicated by arrow "R" in FIG. 2. Electronic control 24 may be a multipurpose controller or a dedicated processing device, either of which execute a control algorithm for providing control signals to the mechanical drive mechanism. The control signals are adapted to cause appropriate movement of the mechanical drive mechanism for creating a scanning motion of mirror 34. In the alternative, a dedicated mechanical drive mechanism may be employed, thus forgoing the electronic controller. In this case, however, adaptation of the sequencing pattern will require alteration to the mechanical drive mechanism.
In operation, light source 12 is energized from power supply 14 and the resulting light energy is focused onto mirror 34. Mirror 34 is scanned, or rotated, thus directing the converging light energy toward plenum 26 and causing point 48 to be translated about coupling surface 38. At a location where a coupler 40 is located, light energy is coupled into the associated optical fiber. Under control of electronic controller 24, mirror 34 is caused to scan point 48 between each coupler 40 in a predetermined sequence and dwelling for a predetermined time at each coupler 40 resulting in the respective coupling of light energy into the associated fiber-optic cables 20. Once coupled into a fiber-optic cable 20, the light energy is communicated to the luminaire and diffused. As mirror 34 is scanned and point 48 moves into and out of alignment with a coupler 40, light energy is emitted from the associated luminaire. As will thus be appreciated, mirror 34 can be caused to scan point 48 between each of the couplers 40 in a predetermined pattern causing sequential illumination of the luminaires.
With reference to FIG. 3, a naval vessel 100 is shown to include a flight deck 102 at an aft portion 104 thereof. Flight deck 102 includes a landing path 106. A remotely illuminated lighting system 126 is coupled via fiber-optic cables 128 to a plurality of light emitting/distributing lenses such as luminaires 108 secured within flight deck 102 along landing path 106. For clarity remotely illuminated lighting system 126 and fiber-optic cables are shown separate from vessel 100, but it will be appreciated that system 126 is suitably secured on-board with fiber-optic cables 128 routed via suitable conduit. System 126 includes a lighting system sequencer and operates in accordance with the above-described embodiments to selectively couple light energy along fiber-optic cables 128 to sequentially illuminate each of the luminaires 108. More particularly, system 126 illuminates luminaires 108 sequentially in the direction of the arrows 140 from the aft portion 104 forward along landing path 106. In this manner, both landing path 106 and the landing direction are indicated to an approaching aircraft.
With reference to FIG. 5, each luminaire 108 includes a mounting flange 122 received into a recessed aperture 120 formed in flight deck 102 and secured therein using screws 124. Luminaire 108 is positioned with respect to flight deck 102 such that a protective lens 116 thereof is positioned flush to or just slightly below flight deck 102. It should be appreciated that luminaire 108 is exemplary in nature. A discussion of the structure of luminaire 108 is provided to assist in the understanding of the present invention, and no limitation of the invention should be drawn from the following discussion. As previously noted, luminaire 108 may be of any appropriate construction, and several preferred constructions are shown and described in the afore-mentioned United States patent applications. Lens 116 is formed from a suitable high-strength substantially transparent plastic material and is secured to a housing 110 of luminaire 108. Positioned within housing 110 is a non-imaging light transformer 112 coupled via coupler 118 to fiber-optic cable 128. Non-imaging light transformer 112 operates as described in the afore-mentioned United States Patent applications to transform light energy from fiber optic cable 128 toward a diffuser 114. Diffuser 114 may be of any suitable construction and is preferably a volumetric holographic diffuser. Light energy coupled to luminaire 108 along fiber-optic cable 128 is thus radiated outwardly therefrom through lens 116.
With reference to FIG. 4, another preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown as an obstruction lighting system 200 for a tower 206, such as a radio transmission tower. Obstruction lighting system 200 includes a remotely illuminated lighting system 202 coupled by a plurality of fiber-optic cables 204 to light distributing/emitting lenses such as luminaires 208, 210 and 212 secured to tower 206. In accordance with the previously described preferred embodiments of the present invention, remotely illuminated lighting system 202 includes a lighting system sequencer to sequentially couple light energy to luminaires 208, 210 and 212. More particularly, luminaires are illuminated sequentially from the base portion 214 of tower 206 to a top portion 216 thereof. The luminaires 208, 210 and 212 may be specially adapted depending on where they are positioned on the tower. For example, luminaires 208 may be adapted to provide a less than 360� illumination pattern. While illuminating in a 360� pattern, luminaire 210 may have a limited vertical distribution. Finally, luminaire 212 may be adapted to illuminate in a hemispherical pattern. Reference is once again made to the afore-mentioned United States patent applications, which disclose several embodiments of luminaires for adapting, shaping and controlling a light distribution pattern from a luminaire. It should also be noted that filters might be incorporated into any of luminaires 208, 210 and 212 for providing, for example, red or white light as required for tower lighting guidelines.
Many changes and modifications could be made to the invention without departing from the fair scope and spirit thereof. The scope of some changes is discussed above. The scope of others will become apparent from the appended claims.

Fue un placer visitar su pais. No imagina lo que le agradecà su visita al Hotel, por dos veces además y sus consejos apoyados en esa magnÃfica documentación informática que me mostró....
José Miguel SamaniegoThree Peruvian archaeological sites -Machu Picchu (Cusco), Chan Chan (La Libertad) and Caral (Lima)- have been named among the top eight lost cities in the world, Peru's export and tourism promotion board Promperu has announced.
more »In Peru, the Church of San Pedro of Andahuaylillas been called "America Sistine Chapel", and in some sense the comparison is relevant: his Church is one of the most amazing and beautiful Andean popular religious art examples.
It`s Church from the outside, it is still beautiful, despite its simplicity: built on a platform to which access by tiers, has as many Andean temples, a chapel open shaped balcony and a solid belfry of solid square, in addition to three bare stone that crosses it towered in the atrium. Possibly built on the site of a pre-Hispanic building, a huaca, perhaps, because inside there are remains of Inca walls.
This sober foreign image contrasts dramatically with which occurs just open the doors of the temple. An explosion of gold and carvings and paintings "scares", and say who had come there in the 17TH century, using the word in its significance at that time: "Marvel", "astonish to limit" the visitor as decoration in gold and murals, bread doesn't nearly free space.
The Church of San Pedro of Andahuaylillas must have been built at the end of the 16th century, because one of his murals, signature Luis Riaño, bearing the date of 1626. It was dedicated to Saint Peter, although the main altar is chaired by the Virgin of the Rosary and the Jesuits had her dependents. It consists of a single nave with lateral chapels and its thick walls are of mud.
If the sober exterior can describe as Renaissance, the interior is a wonderful sample of Baroque. It was an art that sought to impose on the viewer with the overwhelming presence of the ornamental. We must imagine the indigenous crowds newly converted to Christianity enter the Church and experiment visually "power" of the new faith expressed in this sculptural and pictorial richness that from the top and sides harassed.
The ceiling is almost completely covered with a decoration of Mudejar style and motifs floral and fruity. This rich stucco has been coated with gold leaf. This fixed decor is complemented by numerous canvases up all their luxurious frameworks also gold leaf. Most are works of Riaño Luis, painter Lima disciple of Angelino Medoro, born in 1596 and later established in Cusco, where still lived in 1667. It retains a "crucifixion", "The baptism of Christ" and the "Archangel". The painting of the Virgin of the Rosary in the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament has been ascribed to Diego Quispe Tito. There are also anonymous boxes of school cusqueña of painting.
One of the curious of this temple lies in the baptistery. The arch that leads to him has the inscription "I baptize you in the name of the father and son and the Holy Spirit." "Amen" in Latin, Spanish, Quechua, Aymara and puquina, witness the last language also spoken in that region.
But undoubtedly the murals are the most striking of the Church of Andahuaylillas. The most famous pair is found in the inner wall of the entrance surface. Shows the two ways of existence: to the left, the easy way, which leads to hell; right, difficult, which leads to paradise. Its simple and almost naïve symbology commensurate with its didactic character fails to overshadow the expressive power of his images. Most of these beautiful murals were made by Riaño.
