Thomson Reuters Survey Reveals a 51 Percent Increase in Indirect Tax Resources
A new Thomson Reuters survey finds a 51 percent increase in the resources global companies allocate to manage indirect tax compliance as compared to five years ago. Concern over U.S. government's need to raise revenue through taxes has prompted companies to optimize their indirect tax management function, with 88 percent claiming they are ready to successfully undergo a government audit. However, the survey also revealed that 60 percent of companies lack a standardized process for managing a government audit, indicating a gap for many companies looking to achieve superior results from their indirect tax compliance efforts.

The Easy, Super-'90s Way I Keep Grown-Out Bangs out of My Face
Bangs, fringe, breakage — whatever you call it, it'll fit in some butterfly clips.
Coconut oil is all the rage in the beauty industry right now, and here at xoVain. We've all sung praises of this luscious miracle time and time again, and now, it's my turn.
On top of oil pulling regularly and the occasional yeast infection treatment, I've just found an amazing new use for my big old tub o' coconut oil: the coconut oil bleaching method.
To be honest, I had never even heard of such coconut oil hair magic until a commenter tipped me off on my magical rainbow pastel hair post. I did some further research, curious about this mysterious method that left bleached hair healthy-looking and soft. My hair has been cursed with a slight crunch for years as a result of constant bleaching, and I am always eager to try anything to get a slightly softer texture back.
So here's the low-down: it's affordable, easy, and it really works. All you do is slather your whole head with melted coconut oil, cover it, and sleep like you usually do at night (or not sleep because your cat is obsessed with licking the coconut oil and it's creepy and hilarious), and then bleach your hair as usual with the oil still slicked on the next morning.
The idea is the night of oil-soaking replicates the buildup of natural oils in your hair and protects both your scalp and the hair itself from the chemical death goop that is bleach. This is good news for someone like me, who has been bleaching my hair every few months for at least four years consistently. (It has also been mentioned on the internet that the oil helps the bleach process faster, but personally I didn't notice any difference in that regard.)
What I did notice was my hair felt all angel-soft and lovely, and still does three days later! The bleach also didn't burn or itch, not even when I applied heat, and that is reason enough for me to do this forever and always from this day forward till the day my hair and I die.
Want to try it too? Here's a step by step.
BUT FIRST: Remember, bleaching your hair is scary and could result in hair damage or unforeseen results or orange madness, even if you're just doing your roots. Everyone's hair reacts differently, so be careful, follow my directions and the directions on the back of your chosen hair products, and don't panic! You can do this (probably).
STEP 1: Gather Your Supplies
Create a little base camp with everything you'll need. Bleaching can get messy and intense, so it helps to be organized from the start. You'll need:
You'll also need a non-metallic mixing bowl, an application brush, and an ugly old towel (not pictured).
STEP 2: Coat Your Hair In Coconut Oil
Melt the coconut oil by placing the sealed jar into a bowl of hot water, or spoon a bunch of the solid oil into a saucepan and melt it that way if you need it liquified faster.
Pour the oil onto your head and rub it all through. I covered my hands with oil repeatedly and ran my fingers through my hair, then poured lots onto my roots and combed it to the ends. There was oil all over me, but it felt like a nice tropical super moisture treatment, so I was OK with it.
Cover your oil-soaked head with a plastic cap or clear plastic bag and float away to dreamland (you may want to put a towel on your pillow first though). If you only have time to oil-soak for a few hours, that's OK too, but the longer the oil sits on your hair, the more protected it will be, so aim for three hours minimum.
STEP 3: Add More Oil And Then Add The Deadly Chemicals
I woke up to a fresh new day with a VERY oily head of hair, so the only natural next step was to add more oil.
But seriously, really slick the stuff on, especially in places where the bleach will be applied (I did a heavy second application to my roots).
Then mix your bleach (usually 2:1 toner to bleach, but follow the directions/measurements on the package), apply your bleach carefully (try your absolute best not to overlap too much onto your already bleached hair; just get to the very edge), part your hair thinly, apply again, and continue until all your roots are covered in bleach. I start in the middle, do front to one side, then the other side, and then repeat the same pattern at the back with the help of my partner.
A few tips: Buy two bleach packs and enough developer for two packs in case you run out. My hair soaks up more bleach than most (many hair professionals have told me this), so I always need an emergency pack. The ratio for my products was a half bottle of activator for one bleach package, so I needed two packages and one activator bottle.
If you don't have someone to lend a helping hand and paint-burning chemicals on the back of your head, or if you and you're a helping hand friend are new to this experience, DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Split your hair into a front chunk, apply bleach, process, and rinse, and then do the back separately. Because bleaching is so timely and the chemicals can absolutely never be on your head more than an hour, it's easier to apply and process in two parts. Just make sure you apply more coconut oil to the second half in case some accidentally gets washed out before you paint on the bleach.
If you do attempt to apply all the bleach in one go, try to get all of your roots done within 30 minutes, then cover your hair with a clear bag or cap and apply heat to the more recently applied bleach so it processes in time.
STEP 4: Wash Out The Bleach
After you have reached your maximum processing time of one hour, you have to wash out the bleach with shampoo. You will probably have to shampoo twice, because at this step in the game you also have to get all of that oil out of your hair. So scrub scrub scrub!
Your hair will probably feel a little crispy (though for me it was much less crispy than usual), but DO NOT use conditioner. Pretty please.
STEP 5: Prep Your Toner
This is the fun part, where you get to watch your hair magically meld into one awesome new colour. You can use any kind of toner you'd like, but I usually go for something really white so my pink dye layers on top nicely. You have to wait till your hair is mostly dry, so towel it off and wait a bit, then head back to your mixing bowl and put together your toner of choice and activator.
STEP 6: Apply Toner
Start with the roots only first, painting the toner on using the same dab-and-part method as the bleach. Again, you'll need a helping hand to get at the back (or a mirror and a lot of flexibility), but this colour is less time-sensitive so you can work a little more slowly.
I waited about 15 minutes with the toner on my roots, then painted the rest of the toner from roots to ends all over my hair. Because my pink hair had bleach under it, it didn't need as much time as the roots did to process.
Once the colour is covering all of your hair, wait until it turns dark purple. Try smushing some dye off of a chunk to get an idea of what the colour looks like, and hop in the shower to rinse when the colour looks even and matches the shade you'd hoped for.
I waited about 10 minutes with the colour all over my head, partially because it took awhile to lift all of the pink out, then rinsed and conditioned (condition HEAVILY now) to cap the whole adventure off.
STEP 7: Style and Smile
My hair turned out a perfect even white-gray tone (so pretty I am leaving it for a few days before returning to my natural pink-haired state), and oh my, WHAT--was it ever SOFT! My scalp wasn't red at all, and I just couldn't stop touching the softy sweet smoothness like "if this real life?"
Even if you don't dye your hair at home, I highly recommend using the coconut oil method to prepare your hair the night before you go to the salon for bleach touchups, or at least try to do a few coconut oil soaks a month between dye jobs to keep your blonde hair healthy and not-fried.
Coconut oil, you're an angel if there ever was one.

When Bank of America decided to start charging its customers a $5/month fee for using debit cards, people all across the internet were up in arms. This struck me as wrong-headed off the bat. Five dollars is hardly price-gouging, and paying for a service like debit or checking strikes me as a reasonable idea.
Kevin Drum explains why it's not only reasonable, but a step in the right direction for consumers. Basically the way old fees worked is that they were hidden. "The new ones," Kevin notes, "aren't."
Overdraft fees were deliberately designed to be unpredictable, unforeseen, and primarily aimed at low-income users. Swipe fees were invisible because the credit card industry is effectively a duopoly and prohibits merchants from adding swipe fees to credit card bills. After all, if they did that, consumers might actually see what they were really paying for the privilege of using credit and debit cards.
All along, banks have had the option of reforming overdraft fees to make them fairer and more transparent. They had the option of allowing merchants to charge customers for swipe fees or not as they preferred. But they didn't. That's because hidden fees, on average, are more lucrative. Hidden or not, though, we're all still paying them.
So yes: the new fees are annoying. But that's a feature, not a bug, because now they're right up front in black and white, which means that consumers will see them and can be properly outraged (or not) by them. This in turn means that the free market has a chance to actually work: consumers will abandon Bank of America if their fees are too high and force them to charge less. Likewise, other banks will compete openly on the size of their fees. In the end, this competition will force fees down to the lowest possible profitable level, which is exactly what competition is supposed to.
Any time we can shift fees away from noxious overdraft fees, which inevitably hit the poorest in society and which remain hidden from sight, and move them into the open we should. Transparency in finance is important, especially if we want to protect low-income customers from being duped.
So it's okay to not like the Bank of America fees and to run off to another bank that won't charge you five bucks a month, but we should at the very least realize how those fees are the result of good legislation that protects consumers even if we have to spread the cost of these rules around a bit more.
Update: This piece is in no way meant as a defense of Bank of America or the finance sector as a whole. I'm on record as a supporter of both the Occupy Wall Street protests and of breaking up too-big-to-fail banks. This is intended as a defense of the recent financial regulation. I also realize there are still behind-the-scenes fees. The rules are meant to shift fees toward a more transparent, upfront model and away from the behind-the-scenes hidden fees of the past. It will likely not work perfectly, but it's a start.

Winthrop downs Charleston Southern to earn sixth consecutive Big South title
ROCK HILL, S.C. -- The Lady Eagles won the 2013 Big South conference championship with a 4-0 victory against No. 2-seed Charleston Southern. This is Winthrop's sixth consecutive Big South title, having won 11 of the past 12 conference championships. Big South Coach of the Year Cid Carvalho has now won 16 conference titles. The Lady Eagles won the regular-season title and was the top overall seed in the tournament.
Sophomore Ekin Gunaysu and Freshman Caitlin Cridland took down Marketa Placha and Susita Das 8-1 at No. 3 doubles. Freshman Alice Garcia and Giovanna Portiolli could not close the door on the doubles point, falling to Yvonne Hubler and Alexandra Walters 8-4.
The doubles point was decided at No. 1 doubles in a hard-fought match that went into a tiebreaker. Senior Yasmine Alkema and Junior Andressa Garcia went back and forth with Charleston Southern's Angelica Sidorenko and Alia Nour. Sidorenko and Nour came back from a 7-4 Winthrop advantage to win four consecutive games to take an 8-7 lead in the match. Alkema and Garcia fought back to force the match into a tiebreaker. Alkema and Garcia were down 4-1 in the tiebreaker with Sidorenko and Nour. Alkema and Garcia prevailed and came back to win the tiebreaker 7-5, giving Winthrop the doubles point.
Yasmine Alkema kept the doubles momentum rolling by defeating Marketa Placha 6-3, 6-1, at No. 1 singles. Shortly after, Alice Garcia defeated Angelica Sidorenko 6-2, 6-3, at No. 3 singles. Almost simultaneously as Alice Garcia won, Tijana Uzelac clinched the match at No. 6 singles with a 6-0, 6-3 win against Susita Das.
Andressa Garcia was leading Yvonne Hubler 6-1, 5-4 at No. 2 singles. In the No. 4 position, Giovanna Portiolli was leading 5-4 against Alexandra Walters. Caitlin Cridland was tied at six with Alia Nour at No. 5 singles.
"First I would like to congratulate CSU for a great season. The doubles point was very exciting with both teams having match points," Coach Carvalho said. "Our players played outstandingly, I'm so proud of them. We are going to enjoy this win for a couple of days and then start preparing for the NCAAs. Go Eagles!"
The Lady Eagles get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament with the win.

Growing up, I always pictured myself working someplace where I'd have to wear a suit," says Dillon Francis. And though the L.A.-native does in fact suit-up in a gorgeous Givenchy notched lapel, it's for a career far removed from Wall Street; the 26 year-old DJ's debut full-length album Money Sucks, Friends Rule will be released this October and he won't be hitting the stage in jeans and a T-shirt.
"It's been 6 years in the making," says Francis, who initially connected with artists like Twista, Martin Garrix and Brendon Urie through Twitter. "There's a phrase that's something along the lines of, 'You master a craft if you put in 10,000 hours.' And I've come close to 10,000 with this one, you push through the bad until you get to the good music. It's been . . . transformative."
And Francis' evolution hasn't just been melodic. Before getting a preview of the album, he showed us some seriously '90s #TBT photos to prove that before the designer suits, there were hoodies. Here's an excerpt from our chat:
What kind of music did you grow up listening to?
Top 40 Radio—Spice Girls, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette—and then a bunch of emo music like The Used, Panic at the Disco, Saves the Day.
How did you get your start?
It pretty much began when I was 21. I moved to Atlanta to intern for producer Dallas Austin. I only had enough money to stay for two months, but I made it work–I didn't let leftover food go to waste. [laughs] When I moved back home, I really dove into electronic music and then began producing.
What's a typical work day like for you? For some reason, I assume musicians work best at night.
I'm a 9-8 kind of guy, actually. I have a regiment: I wake up, make three poached eggs, two pieces of turkey bacon, one piece of gluten-free bread, and coffee with cream and lots of sugar. The sugar is key; it helps you to sit down and not move.
Reading a crowd seems like such an integral part of DJing. How do you do that?
I can see faces and movement from the stage– you just have to look at that and gage whether people are having fun. People know my music and come to shows for it, so that changes things. But I remember playing at a party for MySpace once. I literally went through every genre and nothing hit.
How did you connect with all of the people who worked with you on the album?
Twitter. That's how the song with Brendon Urie happened and it's how I connected with Diplo. My former manager sent him one of the songs I made and heard that he liked it. I instantly went on Twitter and was like, "Hey man, heard you liked the song?" He followed me and that's how it started.
Now that MSFR is completed, what's next?
I'm already on to album number two–I know who I'm going to be working with and when I'm going to be working on it. But for now, I'm going to enjoy the ride–relax and just DJ.

Recent catastrophic disaster events remind us that many communities are vulnerable to natural hazards. The Indian Ocean basin earthquake and tsunami took over 250,000 lives and caused major disruptions in the regional and local economies. Hurricane Katrina killed over 1,200 and caused over $150 billion in reported damages to the US Gulf Coast. Both events highlight what has been known by researchers: that many costs associated with disaster events–including social and economic disruptions–are difficult to quantify but have profound, long-term impacts on a community's ability to recover. This guide provides an approach for assisting communities in identifying issues they will face in a disaster. The intent is to provide a process for communities to start pre-disaster planning for catastrophic events by engaging partners in identifying the critical issues the community will face in a post-disaster reconstruction environment. This is only the first step toward making your community more disaster resilient and sustainable – now and for the future.

St Marnan's Church stands on the left at the top of quite a steep hill at the south end of Main Street. It is a small rectangular building with round headed windows. Consecrated in 1824 it was one of the first churches to be built in Banffshire since 1792. The building was encouraged by the Bishop of Moray, Bishop Jolly. Previous to that time the congregation had worshiped in a temporary Chapel at Dens of Mayen.
The process whereby these three churches came together began in 1951 when Canon Walter Donald, who was Rector of Christ Church, Huntly was asked to take charge also of St Marnan's Aberchirder, when the incumbent there, Reverend Tom Hopkins, left. This arrangement continued very satisfactorily into the next incumbency of the Reverend Cyril Barnes who became Rector of Christ Church in 1967. In the mid-seventies, the Reverend Tom Gooding, Rector of Holy Trinity in Keith retired and, guided by the Rt. Revd. George Sessford, Bishop of Moray, Ross and Caithness, Canon Cyril (as he had

Sad loss of a pedigree pianist
October 30, 2015 by norman lebrecht
Shocked and saddened to report the death of Ricci Horenstein, a noted concert pianist and outstanding piano teacher who sepnt the second half of her long life in London.
A cousin of the great conductor Jascha Horenstein, Ricci fled Vienna just ahead of the Nazis and wound up destitute in Palestine as a teenager, in 1941.
The former Berlin cultural organiser Leo Kestenberg took her in as a pupil in Tel Aviv, giving her five lessons a week without charge and later employing her as his assistant.
Life's circumstances took Ricci to South Africa and later to England, where she applied Kestenberg's teaching principles in the purest form.
Lively, witty and borderline wicked, she was on fine form at our dinner table last Friday night. Her death comes as a shock to her many friends. She was, we think, 89 years old. No-one ever asked.
Ricci was well loved.

Ricci was born in December 1922, so she was almost 93. She was my father's second wife, although they divorced back in the early 1960s. Her first husband was at some point the principal oboist of the Israel PO when it was the Palestine Orchestra. Your description of her as "Lively, witty and borderline wicked" is spot on, I would add very provocative too. She often had terrible arguments with her friends but they always forgave her. She was a fine pianist who could have made a concert career but for her crippling stage fright.
I loved Ricci. She was a friend back in Vienna and a London neighbour of my family for many years. We were in touch and her mind was so young! We spoke especially on Jewish holidays. A sad loss. I thought she'd live forever.
I am in shock! I CANNOT believe that I will not see her anymore! I just found out from AJR!
She was such an extraordinary, unique person!
I will miss her so much…..
May HaShem bless her memory!
Sleep well Ricci,
You were one of my oldest clients – demanding, difficult but always entrancing. Your determination to master and use email was amazing.
I will always remember you.
Robin Judd
Ricci was a amazing talent, and a amazing friend. Even though she could be difficult , she was a one off . A real character unique.
Will be sadly missed as she brought so much to my life, and encouragment. And will leave a big void in our life's.
Ma Hashem
There are prayers for Ricci at south Hampstead synagogue at eton villas corner of Eton road nw3 at 7-15 on 2nd of November .
Dear Ricci had her 90th Birthday party last December. I will remember her fondly and wish I could hear more of her stories old and new. Ricci is largely, mostly, possibly entirely responsible for my piano duo with Julian Jacobson. It is the concert she organised at Burgh House in July 2011 which marks the start of our duo. Already , a great friend and admirer of Julian's huge musical talent, she asked him to do a concert of all American music for Independence day. She wanted Rhapsody in Blue to feature in it but Julian preferred the duet version and he asked me to join him. I got on immediately with Ricci – she said I was very calming! From then on friends but I wish of course that I could have found more time to get to know her more. She was hugely supportive and encouraging. She was indeed lively , spirited and borderline wicked! I admired her honesty. Sad news that she is no longer with us in physical terms.. Rest in Peace, Ricci , your spirit forever strong, with gratitude for your part in my life. Mariko
Never saw this lovely tribute from till now Mariko! Looking forward to the Memorial Concert on March 30 in Burgh House, which is indeed where we first played "Rhapsody in Blue" for Ricci.
A Year has gone by and I still think of Ricci most days about something or other.
.Luckily I have a wonderful 'live' memory of her playing Bach's first Prelude in C. which I video at her home whilst trying out my IPhone. I treasure these precious two minutes deeply and take a look at it whenever I feel blue.
She brought so much life to my life and made me feel anything is possible. And It is.. It really is. I miss her very much.She touched so many lives including mine and yes I thought she would live on forever……
I still miss Ricci, too! It will never be someone, like her!

Feeding tubes worsen pressure ulcers in elderly dementia patients, study suggests
New research suggests that feeding tubes can cause or worsen pressure ulcers in elderly dementia patients — a finding that contradicts the commonly held belief that feeding tubes promote healing.
In analyzing Medicare claims data for thousands of beneficiaries with dementia, BrownUniversity researchers found that individuals with a percutaneous endoscopicgastric (PEG) feedingtube were 2.27 times more likely to develop a pressure ulcer than those without a feeding tube. Additionally, the risk of the patient developing a more severe, stage IV ulcer was 3.21 times higher for those with a feeding tube.
While the reasons aren't yet known, investigators theorized that feeding tubes can cause agitation in those with dementia and increase the risk of diarrhea.
"It provides solid evidence that there is a risk and that we need to discuss it," lead author Joan Teno, M.D., said. "I'm hoping that people now can use this study to make better decisions in light of a patient's goals and values."
The study was published May 14 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Whether or not you're an Avengers fan, it's hard not to be excited for one of the most anticipated pilots of the fall season – Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., coming to ABC Sept. 24. At Comic Con this summer, we sat down with Chloe Bennet and Brett Dalton as they discussed their characters and how they feel about their "induction" into the Marvel universe.
"Every character has a history. That's what Marvel is so great at, having a back story for their heroes, but they have just as much of a back story for these humans", says Bennet, who plays Skye, newcomer computer hacker (or, in Bennet's words, "hacktivist."). As for Dalton's seasoned agent Grant Ward, the actor notes that "he's the guy you call when you need something done. He's like a swiss army knife – he's got something for every occasion but he's a bit of a lone wolf as well. He doesn't know what it's like to be a part of the team."
Might we see a possible relationship develop between the two? Check out the full video interview below, and stay tuned to Confessions Of A TV Geek for all your S.H.I.E.L.D. scoop!
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8pm on ABC.

FamilyWize Prescription Discount Cards
FamilyWize essentially acts like a huge consumer group buying service for the uninsured and underinsured. The discounts and savings on medications are provided voluntarily by the more than 61,000 participating pharmacies that have agreed to provide prices similar to what they give large insurance companies and employers. All funding for the FamilyWize program is provided by part of the dispensing fee that is included in the cost of medicines when a FamilyWize card is used to save you money, and by in-kind donations and reduced costs from the program sponsors. It's easy to use a FamilyWize Card. There are no forms to fill out, waiting period or registration. The card is really just like a reusable prescription coupon on all FDA approved medicines. Anyone in your family, your work, your church or your neighborhood can use it. Immediately. You can even use it if you have health insurance, both during deductible periods and for anything your insurance does not pay for. You ALWAYS get the lowest price. Your cost will be the discount price with the FamilyWize card or the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price, whichever is lower. You are responsible for the entire payment of the prescription medicine purchased after any discounts are applied. The FamilyWize card cannot lower the co-pay for medicine covered by insurance.

Seac Sub S.p.a.
Via D. Norero, 29 - 16040 - San Colombano Certenoli (GE) ITALY
An extraordinary world made up of ancient relics, breathtaking grottoes, colors and unique thrills. Enthusiasts know how important cutting-edge equipment is.
A challenge for yourself and the marine world, constantly seeking new depths. Reach the limit between man and nature, stretching it to the boundary. Quiet, invisible, bold.
Fun in its purest form. On one side us: our joy, the motion, the thirst for adventure. On the other side them: the sea, the sun, the lights and shadows of the splendid underwater nature.
The brand new SEAC UNICA, designed in Italy, is a full face mask intended for snorkeling that lets you breathe naturally underwater through your nose and mouth.
Innovative solutions that make it truly unique compared to the similar masks that have been on the market up to now. It has a patented air expulsion system and the in/out circuits are separate with independent breathing flow passage section, both for inhaling and exhaling, to provide maximum safety and breathing comfort. Exhaled air is vented from the front of the mask to make exhaling effortless and eliminate the noise that purge valves make. The separated channeling system for inhaled and exhaled air prevents the mask from fogging up. The snorkel with top dry prevents water from coming in the tube and with its 180° field of vision, the lens provides a visual experience that is unique in its kind.
The face contact area is very comfortable, made of hypoallergenic silicon, whereas the frame and lens are made of polycarbonate in attractive colors.
It is available in two sizes in order to adapt to smaller faces as well and, for video enthusiasts, you can apply the bracket for any action cam.
A leader in the scuba diving sector, Seac is an Italian company that operates all over the world. Here, design, innovation and technology come together with respect for tradition and Italian style.

A wide selection of facings offer superior tone quality and projection with complete control, making Otto Link a top choice of professionals.
"I can see why this mouthpiece has been enjoyed by all standards of player for so long. It's so easy to play with an even response from top to bottom. It may struggle in a loud big band solo but it's great for players who want a warm sound without having to sacrifice projection. It also has great overtones which immediately pop out when you want them to. For me, the character of the Link is reminiscent of the classic Joe Henderson era." - Paul email@example.com
Otto Link
Otto Link started as a repair technician in the William S. Haynes flute company in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 1920s. In the early 1930s he moved to 117 West 48th street in New York City to start his own mouthpiece business. During the 1950s he briefly moved to Freeport on Long Island, NY, before moving his business to Pompano Beach, Florida in the late 1950s. He later sold the company to Ben Harrod who continued to produce and hand finish mouthpieces under the Otto Link name during the 1960s/70s. Today, Otto Link mouthpieces are produced and distributed by the J.J. Babbitt company in Elkhart, Indiana.

Looking forward to meeting and hosting you.......
Yvette & Ed Samuel purchased this apartment in 2001
We were attracted to this area because of its peacefulness, its beautiful scenery and its prized location, which although a private neighborhood, is still not cut off from all the conveniences of shopping and attractions. It is also close to some very beautiful beaches.
The area is quiet, clean and safe with beautiful surroundings.
It offers privacy and the value for money is unmatched.
You can even pick your own fruits when in season.
I appreciated most of all the accessibility to the Samuels to answer my questions.
The property is well designed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The rooms were spacious large and ideal for someone like me that values space. The owners made a superb effort to ensure that we were always comfortable and provided us with very useful information that made our stay wonderful. I highly recommend this property for anyone travelling to Barbados for short or long term stay!
We have just finished a six week stay at this location, everything was as per advertised. Ed and Yvette were the perfect hosts, if we needed anything all we had to do was mention it to Ed and it was solved immediately.The apartment was very clean and bug free (this is very important to us). I would highly recommend this property. The attraction in Barbados that we would recommend are as follows; Animal Flower Cave, Harrison's Cave, St Nicholas Abby and the Round House @ Bathsheba. We also had fun at the Boatyard on Carlisle Bay. Again we would like to thank Ed, Yvette, Latoya and Jeremy for their hospitality during our stay.
The Samuels are an amazing host family. I have travelled all over the world and never experienced a host like them. They picked us up from the airport; they provided food in the fridge; showed us around Barbados; cooked an amazing cultural dinner for us; took us to the grocery store; offered us surf lessons; let us use their laundry machines; provided us simple amenities; and so much more. They were always available and cordial. So much love I am experienced from them. Really makes a difference when you travel. I cannot more highly recommend them. They are the best. The apartment was clean and just had a great vibe about it....guessing it was from all the love that they were sending from upstairs. You will experience a satisfying and blissful stay if you choose this place.
My husband and I would describe our stay at Tropical Pearl intriguing, relaxing and invigorating after coming from our hectic schedules and commuting in Toronto.
We arrived at this apartment on July 21st and stayed for one month. We were pleasantly surprised with the luscious surroundings of greenery and colours of red, lilac and yellow flowers which brought back pleasant memories of our honeymoon.
The apartment is very well maintained, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, cutlery etc. If there is something you require otherwise, you can ask Yvette or Ed and they will get it for you.
You will hear the birds chirping in the morning. You can also pick fruit of your choice and look at the tropical fish which includes tilapia in their five fish ponds. If you are lucky, you get your tilapia for dinner from the fish pond.
Yvette and Ed were very committed to making our stay as enjoyable as it was. We are already planning for next year's trip.
We would definitely recommend persons seeking to get away from it all to stay at "Tropical Pearl".
We just finished a six month stay with Yvette and Ed Samuel they were very welcoming and helped us enjoy or stay. The photo's that are on this site are very accurate and reflect a nicely furnished two bedroom apartment, that is quite well appointed and very clean. Ed is retired and is available all the time to help if you have things you need and he is constantly working on his property, gardening, building (at present is working on a covered patio with a BBQ area), the mango's that grow on the property are fantastic and in the seasons that they ripen there were more than we could eat, there are also other tropical fruit depending on the season. This property is located in a very quiet residential community and from our experience very safe we did not even hear of any issues the entire time we were there. The village of Mile and a Quarter is a short walk 10min and has a bakery service station and a great market that has almost all the groceries and supplies you would need as well as a hardware store. Bus transportation is available from Mile and a Quarter and from there you can access the network of bus routes to anywhere on the island. The beach that is closest is a 40min walk down hill or in our case a 5min. drive, we had a car during our stay and enjoyed the freedom to travel where and when we wanted. The extra bedroom or studio apartment is accessed by a separate door and is very nice with private bath and a full kitchen this could be a little more clear in the description. Speightstown is the closest larger town and is a really great place with a very long history and a more historic look and some great places to eat and drink one of our favorites was the Orange Street Grocer.
We recommend this property for those seeking a quite stay away from the typical touristy beach scene.
In this quiet neighbourhood a must see is the Port Ferdinand Marina and the Farley Hill National Park. The place to purchase freshly baked bread, croissants cannot be left out, along with the Junction where you can obtain supplies from groceries to your hardware needs.

October 17, 2011 (CHICAGO) --Angry protesters gathered at the Thompson Center Monday over pending closures of three state psychiatric hospitals.
Mental health advocates argue that closing the hospitals without an alternative plan to treat patients will actually cost the state more money.
Gov. Pat Quinn wants to close three of the state's nine psychiatric facilities, including one in south suburban Tinley Park.
The protestors say they are not against the idea of closing hospitals since it's better to treat patients in the community.
However, they want a more comprehensive plan to serve patients.

The real crime of the cops-vs.-monsters action-comedy "R.I.P.D." isn't that it so shamelessly borrows from other movies. Heck, if Hollywood frowned upon fakery, we'd get only a dozen or so movies a year -- and don't even get me started on the havoc that would be wreaked upon the plastic-surgery industry.
No, the real crime of director Robert Schwentke's film is that it so shamelessly borrows from so many other movies, and then does absolutely nothing to add to them -- nothing to raise the bar, nothing to make it more interesting, and really nothing to make it the least bit appealing.
What we're left with is a frantic but sloppily assembled assault on the senses that contains hardly a single frame of originality. In a nutshell, "R.I.P.D." puts the "R.I.P." in ripoff.
Officially, the inspiration for Schwentke's film is a comic book penned by Peter Lenkov. What it comes off as, however, is part "Men in Black" and part "Ghostbusters," with a little "Dylan Dog" and "True Grit" thrown in for giggles.
Instead of getting Will Smith playing a rookie alien investigator and Tommy Lee Jones playing the crusty, cranky veteran with whom he is partnered in the "Men in Black" films, it's Ryan Reynolds paired with a crusty, cranky Jeff Bridges. And instead of tracking down rogue aliens as Smith and Jones do, they track down rogue souls who -- rather than moving on to the beyond after dying -- are determined to hide out among the living.
(Those wandering, mostly malevolent souls are called "deados" -- because they're dead, you see -- which tells you pretty much all you need to know about the creativity to be had here.)
The catch, if there is one, is that Reynolds and Bridges are dead, too, both law officers gunned down in their prime. Thus, the name of their new employer: the Rest in Peace Department -- or the "R.IP.D." (See what they did there?)
The always watchable Bridges, perhaps the best thing about Schwentke's film, gets to ham it up as a hirsute gunslinger named Roycephus Pulsiphur ("Call me Roy"), whose previous employment was as a frontier lawman. Reynolds, on the other hand, in an uncharacteristically charmless performance, plays a lawman of much more recent vintage, a modern-day Boston cop named Nick Walker who was gunned down in the line of duty with some unfinished business.
Cue all the expected fish-out-of-water jokes, as Nick butts heads with Roy while adjusting to his new state of being. Cue also a convoluted, messily plotted story -- intertwined, of course, with Nick's unfinished business -- in which our heroes stumble upon a plan by the deado community -- 3,000 years in the making -- that could see the world overrun by dead souls. (In another bit of cinematic repurposing, that plan involves what appears to be a cousin to Loki's wormhole from "The Avengers.")
Unfortunately, Schwentke's penchant for borrowing from other films doesn't extend to the creatures of "R.I.P.D." At least in the "Men in Black" films -- even last year's tired third installment -- we got fun, imaginative aliens from the mind of Oscar-winning makeup legend Rick Baker. In "R.I.P.D.," we get an overreliance on computer animation that makes the deados appear flat and far more cartoony than menacing.
Even flatter is the film's attempts at humor, which -- aside from a moment in which Bridges' character gets "billygoated" -- largely misses the mark. I'm sure there are 10-year-old boys out there who will feel satisfied by it all, but it's hard to think there are too many others who will.
My guess is that the film's producers are well aware that their film doesn't play as well as they had hoped. In fact, "R.I.P.D." has all the hallmarks of a film that went through the wringer in the editing process in the hopes of salvaging it, including gags that are set up and never paid off -- and others in which the attempted payoff comes out of nowhere, with no setup.
If there was one thing that "R.I.P.D." should have stolen from the "Men in Black" films, it's the memory-wiping Neuralyzer Smith and Jones use on unsuspecting civilians who see too much for their own good. That way we could forget this whole mess ever happened in the first place.
1 stars, out of 5
Snapshot: A supernatural action-comedy about a police officer who -- after being killed in the line of duty -- is enlisted for service in a beyond-the-grave police force tasked with keeping deceased souls from wreaking havoc on the living.
What works: There are hints of popcorny fun here, thanks largely to the presence of Jeff Bridges.
What doesn't: Aside from the fact that there's nary a shred of originality to it, it feels hastily assembled, sloppily edited and just plain unfunny.
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Bridges, Mary-Louise Parker, Kevin Bacon. Director: Robert Schwentke. Rating: PG-13, for violence, sci-fi/fantasy action, some sensuality, and language including sex references. Running time: 1 hour 36 minutes. Where: Find New Orleans showtimes.


text: Comrade Deg 13 Posted April 23, 2013 For the past few days I have noticed the server has been rather full for long sections of the day. Like right now as I'm writing this the server is full. I think maybe it is time to reopen RP2 as separate Chernarus map or at least for the upcoming summer since it will only get more crowed. I just don't want to see RP2 go to waist as it is right now. Any opinions or suggestion are welcome below. 0 Share this post Link to post

There are various reasons young people may not be reaching their full potential; they could have left school early, not completed their formal education, or maybe are finding it difficult to access training options or opportunities which could lead to employment, they may find it hard to promote themselves in the current labour market or might be in need of supportive one to one work helping them to focus on exactly what it is they want to attain.
The Project works on an individual basis to help to improve employability/training/educational options, by working on self-esteem, personal and social development, accredited training relevant to individual needs, CV preparation, interview skills & work experience opportunities. There is
also a group work aspect to the programme, where participants come together to work as part of a team, participate in residentials and team building activities all which help to promote good interpersonal skills and build confidence. The aim of the Reactiv-8 Programme is to help young people build and develop life skills that foster good relations, build confidence and resilience to make them more employable. The programme is
responsive and reactive and works across various areas throughout Donegal and Tyrone including Letterkenny, Ballybofey, Buncrana, and Sion Mills & Strabane.
All of the training, travel and sustenance is provided free of charge and the programme is currently recruiting for the next intake.

The UK is suffering from a lack of interest in engineering according to a report from the organisers of the Queen Elizabeth Prize.
The report, Create the Future, interviewed more than 10,000 members of the general public across 10 markets and found that the UK had the least interest in the sector.
Out of the all the locations covered, which included China, the US and Germany, British 16 and 17 year olds in particular showed a lack of interest.
The report also found that engineering tops the list of professions seen as most vital for economic growth. 57 per cent also believe it is critical in solving the world's problems, particularly in the US, UK and Germany.
71 per cent of those interviewed think engineers' contribution to society is undervalued and should be given more recognition.
The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering recognises innovators in the field who will 'inspire the next generation of engineers'.
This year, Dr Robert Langer (above) was recognised for his work in developing a large molecular drug-delivery system to treat diseases like cancer.
"Being awarded the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering is a huge honour," Langer said.
"I was shocked to receive such an incredible award. It is wonderful that The Queen recognises the importance of engineers around the world and engineering is being honoured in such a way.
"I am reassured the Create the Future Report confirms engineering outputs are valued around the world and considered genuinely life changing.
"I take heart in the number of people who see engineering as a great way to contribute to society; that is what motivated me and inspired my work on mental health and cancer treatments."
E&T Magazine interviewed Langer earlier in the year, when he discussed his drug-delivery system.
Chairman of the Queen Elizabeth Prize Foundation Lord Browne said: "It is encouraging to see that people think the priority for engineers should be improving renewable energy and healthcare, not just traditional engineering infrastructure such bridges and buildings.
"The QE Prize aims to highlight the engineering achievements that have the greatest impact on society, to raise engineering's international profile and inspire young people to consider the wealth of opportunities that an engineering career offers."
The Create the Future report was sourced from an online survey that took place in May 2015 in the UK followed by the other nine markets in June and July 2015.

Filipino vocal powerhouse Charice got noticed in the new old-fashioned way: YouTube.
After she spent years entering more than 100 contests, performances of the 18-year-old were posted online and quickly hit heavy rotation in 2007. That year the vocalist was invited to the U.S. by Ellen DeGeneres to sing on her show. Appearances on "Oprah" followed; the talkshow hostess dubbed her "the most talented girl in the world."
Based on those appearances, power producer David Foster came calling. When Charice returned to "Oprah" to debut the Foster-produced "Note to God" in 2009, the song was downloaded 61,000 times in the first week alone.
Charice, who was born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, grew up in Tagaytay, a small town four hours from Manila. The singer's father abandoned the family when she was 4 and her younger brother Carl was 2. Charice has been quoted many times saying her first motivation to sing in contests was to help her family make some kind of living.
Even with all the success she's had, Clarice has a backup plan. In addition to being a pop sensation, she's also a freshman online at Southern New Hampshire U. and has discussed becoming an entertainment lawyer someday if her career as a singer and actress doesn't work out.
But with a hit album and a recurring role on "Glee" as Sunshine Corazon, a foreign-exchange student who challenges the vocal prowess of hometown heroine Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), she can take her time with her studies.

Restoring Emails Lost in Microsoft Outlook with the Inbox Repair Tool
No one is perfect; neither is Outlook or anything else. That realization doesn't help much when you have lost important email that contains vital information about your business, work, or personal life.
Before giving up hope, read the directions listed here that can help you recover lost email messages from Outlook using the Microsoft Inbox Repair Tool .
- slide 2 of 5
Preparing to Use the Inbox Repair Tool
When an Outlook user notices that emails or email folders are missing from Microsoft Outlook, they have a tool already on their computer that can help.
Before using this tool, Outlook users must know where their Outlook mail file is stored on their computer. If this location is unknown, open Outlook and then right click on the email address that has the missing messages or folders. Next, click the "Open File Location" to open it in Windows Explorer.
Next, close grab the location of the file by right clicking in the address bar and then clicking on the "Copy address as text" option from the context menu.
This information is important in the next step when the actual recovery is performed, so users should be sure to keep it on the clipboard (Alternatively, users can paste this information into a Notepad text file for safe keeping).
The recovery utility, called Inbox Repair Tool for Outlook 2010 on a computer's hard drive in the "Office14" folder in the "Program Files" folder of Windows. Get there by clicking on the "Computer" icon in the Windows "Start" menu. In this Windows Explorer window, navigate to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14" and then double-click the file "scanpst.exe." this will run the Inbox Repair Tool.
The Inbox Repair Tool will open as shown below.
- slide 3 of 5
Using the Inbox Repair Tool
The Microsoft Inbox Repair Tool does not automatically know where the mail file that needs repair is located. To load it into the tool, click the "Browse" button.
In the "Select File to Scan" window, right click on the address bar and then click the "Edit address" option.
Next, the user should right click and then paste the location of the mail files that was copied in the previous step and then press "Enter." The window now shows a window that contains the Outlook mail file that needs to be repaired.
Double click the file to load it into the Inbox Repair Tool.
Click the "Start" button to begin the repair. Depending on the size of the file, this process could take a long time.
When finished, the program will issue a report when errors were found in the file. The user is prompted to make a backup of the file (recommended) and then should click the "Repair" button to recover the file.
When the "Repair complete" message appears, the recovery is finished. Click the "OK" button and then open Microsoft Outlook. If the recovery was successful, the lost email messages or folders will be present.

USC: A sustainable design
As part of the University's mission as a Jesuit university in the Catholic tradition, and our commitment to social justice, the university aims to design the USC following the guidelines for LEED silver certification. Our university is deeply committed to sustainable design, as well as promoting a sustainable lifestyle. Our sustainability initiatives include:
- use of local materials (such as stone taken from local quarries)
- maximizing the usage efficiency of each laboratory. We follow the adage that states:
"the greenest space that you can build is the space that you don't build". By streamlining our design, we use less construction materials, and less energy through the life of the building
- use of energy efficient lights and heating systems
- recycling heat from exhaust air using a heat exchange wheel
- use of efficient water fixtures
- ... and many others
We will continue to update this page as more details become available.
We have a green team that is currently dedicated to designing and promoting green initiatives in our new USC.

The vote count is underway in Britain after general elections Thursday for a new parliament which then determines who can form the next government and which party leader becomes prime minister. Early indications showed the Conservative Party in the lead but without an outright majority.
Indications had been all along that no party would win an outright majority and that Britain would have its first hung parliament since 1974. Early exit polls bore that out.
David Cameron's Conservative Party was in the lead, but shy of the 326 seats needed for an outright parliamentary majority. Prime Minister Gordon Brown's incumbent Labor Party was running second and looked headed for defeat and Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats were coming in a far third with fewer seats than they had predicted. //END OPT //
One thing is certain. Whatever new government is formed in the end, it will have to deal with deep economic problems, says Professor Nicholas Barr of the London School of Economics.
"In a strange way I'm getting echoes of central and eastern Europe after the collapse of the communist system when all governments had to stabilize their economy, it didn't matter which political party was in power. Essentially they all had to do the same thing. So, there was very little room for political maneuver," Barr said.
The economy was the major concern for voters in this election, alongside other issues such as immigration.
Final results are expected some time Friday.
