Sinatras Bar Benidorm (Benidorm Square)
Sinatras Bar Benidorm (Benidorm Square)
One of the best things about Sinatras Bar Benidorm is that although on the top of the Benidorm Square, it's just far out enough away from all the hustle and bustle.
One of Benidorm's best cabaret bars which has a full schedule of entertainment.
The Benidorm Square can be a bit overwhelming at times and if you want to be close to the nightlife but avoid the shenanigans then Sinatras Bar is a great option.
Just across the road from Cafe Benidorm, Sinatras Bar has a lineup of artists that rival any in Benidorm.
Rod Stewart, Amy Winehouse, Cher are just a few of the big names performing at Sinatras Bar.
Along with being a great venue inside with plenty of seating and dance space, outside is equally as good.
The open plan is perfect for those warm evenings and with an extra bar area ideal to get drinks quick.
Drink prices at Sinatras Bar are some of the best in the square area.
Nightly deals, 2 for 1's and what seems like a whole night of happy hour.
Sinatras Bar is a good place for those visiting as a couple and want a venue that is relaxed and not as hyper as the those on the main square.
Opening Hours of Sinatras Bar Benidorm
- Monday: 19.30pm - 05.00am
- Tuesday: 19.30pm - 05.00am

text: SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Foot Locker Inc. FL, -2.65% shares surged more than 10% to $23.05 in Thursday morning trade after a published report said the athletic apparel and footwear chain is again considering putting itself up for sale. The New York Post, citing unnamed sources, reported that Foot Locker is mulling a possible sale following disappointing performance at its U.S. shoe stores and its failure to buy rival Genesco Inc. GCO, -6.54%. The New York-based company has retained Lehman Brothers to advise it on a potential sale, the report said. According to the Post, private-equity firms may also be showing interest in the retailer, including Apollo Management, which is said to be considering an offer of $29 a share.

Be part of the Celebration of the annual City of Lancaster tradition of blowing a colorful glass ornament which will be attached to a giant 4 foot lit Globe with over 500 handmade glass ornaments made at the Ohio Glass Museum. The community-created glass art will light up and sparkle, rising high in the air, ringing in the new year during the 2019 Glass Town Countdown New Year's Eve celebration! It takes a 20 minute lesson with a professional glass artist to blow a glass ornament which will be part of the Giant Glass Globe use in the celebration. You are able to choose two of your favorite colors and blow it into a 3"-4" round ornament. After it cools down overnight, your ornament will be tagged with a number specific to you, and will then be attached to the Giant Glass Globe. You'll be able to watch the Globe on display grow in size with ornaments in businesses around town all throughout the year! Participants as young as ages 5 and up with adult supervision can make an ornament.
Each student needs to sign up for their own time slot. It takes 20 minutes per person to make an ornament. If your class takes place before the Museum opens, please come to the back door that is labeled "Glass Studio". It will be unlocked just walk right in! CLICK HERE for classes. You may also purchase an ornament for this project.
It Started with Pencil & Paper... a tribute to the designers behind some of America's favorite pressed glass patterns! Whether we are shopping for an Item, setting our tables for a gathering, or touring a museum of wonderful things, we are intuitively making observations about each piece we see. When we view an item made of pressed glass; a vase, a bowl, or a pedestaled cake stand, and determine if we like it or If we want to use it, or if It might make a suitable gift, we are, most of us unknowingly, employing the elements and principles of art and design. We make our conclusion about the glass piece on our own feelings, practical and/or emotional. We consider such features as the quality of the glass, its translucency, its form, color, pattern, and many more components which artists and designers have studied and utilized to create their products. In this exhibit we pay tribute to the persons we seldom consider during our mental deliberations as to the worthiness of the piece of glass before us….those persons who started with Pencil & Paper! We examine some of the Designers' initial sketches, blueprints, and patents, as we explore the process of creative thinking, and the applications of the elements and principals. Because these final designs are the property of the companies for which they were created, many of the names of designers, draftsmen, and others, so important to the completion of the product, are lost in obscurity. We are, nonetheless able to present some fabulous examples of the work of important designers who worked for our local glass companies, as well as many other designers from around the country. Our goal is to allow our visitors to experience looking at glass in a whole new way. Enjoy!

There are a few ways an individual can interact with a public space. The first is to sit in or walk through it while crunching an apple. The second is to inhabit it, grow an apple tree and share it with others. The third is to grow the tree, pick the apples behind your neighbours' backs and sell them to Woolworths for a profit.
We can speculate on the reasons for the recent rage against plastic bag bans. We don't like change. We don't like being told what to do. We don't like having to think about alternatives and solutions. But at the heart of it, being mad about this particular inconvenience is about refusing to accept one's part in improving the collective lot. This is the one planet we have. There is no Plan B.
In 1978 Kaurna/Narungga woman, Georgina Williams, said to me that Aboriginal people tend to be first on the receiving end of governmental oppressive practices and, when that works, the practices are extended to other poor Australians. Thirty-nine years later, almost every day brings new evidence of a relentless campaign against the poor, of which Cashless Cards are but one particularly vindictive example.
Corey has received housing through a St Vincent de Paul's refuge in Canberra and food assistance through Anglicare. Corey did not complete year ten, and has had a number of odd jobs since leaving school. Corey is passionate about gaming, and will often spend hours on the computer, filling in time after losing his job recently. He says he would love to do some training in gaming, but that his Job Network provider didn't have the money to support him in such training.
I was born into a working class family in Leyton, East London. But in the late 1980s, gentrification in the area forced us to relocate to the poor working class town of Harlow, Essex. In a twist of fate, these days I can't even afford to live there. This time it is not due to gentrification brought about by 'hipster' entrepreneurs, but because powerful construction companies have replaced the historical architecture with new developments and housing estates. I know who I'd rather pick a fight against.
Since John Howard promoted the memory of 25 April 2015 in the years after 9/11, it has become entrenched in the public imagination as the definitive Australian moment. I look upon it from a distance, in awe, and as the deification of the white male soldier continues apace, with a deeper sense of alienation. As a non-white Australian who migrated to this country from the Philippines, I did try to make it relevant for myself for a while.
I was sent to St Margaret's Home for Unwed Girls, and when I didn't buckle to pressure to surrender my son for adoption, I was tossed onto the street. I went from rock bottom to rise to the top of my field, only to have everything pulled from underneath me. I managed to get back up again and realise my childhood dream of one day becoming a writer, lending a voice to tens of thousands of young women who lost their children in what is now known as 'forced adoption'.
It is hard not to smile over Woolworths' and Coles' 'voluntary' adoption of a code of conduct. Now that the duopoly has decided to mend its ways, it seems it can occupy the moral high ground and preach to everyone else. The Western world has been subject to a quarter of a century of propaganda about the virtues of deregulation. A closer consideration of the supermarket giants' promise to do the right thing offers little reason for confidence.
Dr Maurice Newman is chairman of the Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council. It's his job to lobby for big business against, as it happens, the common good. But he is criticised even among some of his peers in the business world, particularly for his unwillingness to accept the need for a reduction in carbon emissions. Does Tony Abbott really listen to 'a range of voices' on business, as he claims?
Australia is very much the 'Noah's Ark' economy: two of everything. Consider the spate of industry sectors in which only two companies dominate: airlines (Virgin and Qantas); paper and packaging (Visy and Amcor); print media (News Corporation and Fairfax). The Federal Government's announcement that it will be launching a 'root and branch' review of Australia's competition law will, at the very least, make for a fascinating spectacle.
As the China boom fades Australia is experiencing a delayed version of the GFC, without the banking crisis. Until now we've been reasonably well served by both sides of politics, in terms of macro-economic strategy. Now we require a way of dealing with more mundane economic issues like productivity and efficiency. Neither side has many good ideas about how to achieve the required structural shifts.
In days past the 'consultancy' activity of former senior politicians was cloaked in respectability and not perceived as being at the hands-on end of lobbying. That pretence has now ended and Alexander Downer and Peter Costello are good examples. It is an unhealthy development with plenty of room for conflicts of interest.

Senior Management resume for an executive in the Organic Agricultural Industry
This unusually formatted resume for a senior management executive in the organic agricultural industry is attractive and easy to read. The columnar format is not the best if you want to be sure your resume is ATS compatible, but this executive candidate was intending to conduct his job search through personal contacts and networking, so we were less concerned about ATS compatibility.

Wonder if it's a solid kiss.ReplyDelete
My girlfriend sent one of those to me when I was on the ship so very long ago. It WAS solid and took me a very long time to eat it.ReplyDelete
But, oh so delicious.
And not very good chocolate at that. Waxy.ReplyDelete
That IS a lot of chocolate. Wonder how many calories is in one of them!?ReplyDelete
Wow, That is huge!ReplyDelete
Does look rather large.ReplyDelete
My daughter wanted one when she saw it at the store. It was a no-go. Nobody needs that much chocolate!ReplyDelete
I also wonder if it's solid or hollow. Hollow would be a major disappointment.ReplyDelete

Title 51
Chapter 51.16
Section 51.16.120
<< 51.16.120 >>
Distribution of further accident cost.
(1) Whenever a worker has a previous bodily disability from any previous injury or disease, whether known or unknown to the employer, and suffers a further disability from injury or occupational disease in employment covered by this title and becomes totally and permanently disabled from the combined effects thereof or dies when death was substantially accelerated by the combined effects thereof, then the experience record of an employer insured with the state fund at the time of the further injury or disease must be charged and a self-insured employer must pay directly into the reserve fund only the accident cost which would have resulted solely from the further injury or disease, had there been no preexisting disability, and which accident cost must be based upon an evaluation of the disability by medical experts. The difference between the charge thus assessed to such employer at the time of the further injury or disease and the total cost of the pension reserve must be assessed against the second injury fund. Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the department must pass upon the application of this section in all cases where benefits are paid for total permanent disability or death and issue an order thereon appealable by the employer. Pending outcome of such appeal the transfer or payment must be made as required by such order.
(2) If a self-insured employer is in default or the director has withdrawn the certification of a self-insured employer, the department may not pass on the application of this section. In such cases, the total cost of the pension reserve must first be assessed against the defaulting self-insured employer's deposit required by RCW
and in cases where the surety funds are insufficient the remaining cost of the pension reserve must be assessed against the insolvency trust fund.
(3) The department must, in cases of claims of workers sustaining injuries or occupational diseases in the employ of state fund employers, recompute the experience record of such employers when the claims of workers injured in their employ have been found to qualify for payments from the second injury fund after the regular time for computation of such experience records and the department may make appropriate adjustments in such cases including cash refunds or credits to such employers.
(4) To encourage employment of injured workers who have a developmental disability as defined in RCW
, the department may adopt rules providing for the reduction or elimination of premiums or assessments from employers of such workers and may also adopt rules for the reduction or elimination of charges against their employers in the event of further injury to such workers in their employ.

This is the third annual publication of reviews of significant advances in the field of clinical pathology. There are twelve chapters on different subjects and by different authors.
Most chapters deal with a different subspecialty of clinical pathology and are useful as a reference source of the newest techniques. Primary emphasis is on technique and not disease descriptions or differential diagnosis. There are over 1,000 references, and, except for two chapters—one on thyroid function and another on scintiscanning, they are from the literature of the last 5 years. The two exceptions emphasize the difficulty in providing current references in a

Sorry, Experts. Meaningful Use is a Success
A federally funded study finds that criteria under the electronic health records meaningful use program fall short of achieving meaningful use in any practical sense. Dont believe it.
The report contends that interoperability in the meaningful use program is basically meaningless, amounting to little more than replacing fax machines with the electronic delivery of page-formatted medical records. And that has some merit, but interoperability isnt the end-all toward meaningfulness. The report then offers a comprehensive software architecture for Stage 3 of the meaningful use program that would create a truly interoperable health data infrastructure. Thats wonderful if report authors dont care about what is really feasible for the health care industry during Stage 2 now, and Stage 3 in just three years.
The report was written by the JASON initiative within MITRE Corp., which operates federally funded research and development centers. JASON, named after the mythological Greek explorer, is an independent group of scientists that advise the government on matters of science and technology.
Where did the JASON experts get their information on the meaningful use program? From 18 other experts in the health arena, mostly university researchers, consultants and vendors. After Googling these 18 experts, it can charitably be surmised that maybe seven of them have ever used an EHR. This report is an academic exercise that need not consider the real world.
The key takeaway here is that the feds, specifically the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality which funded the report, really need to spend taxpayer dollars more wisely. It simply is folly to say that a decent degree of EHR meaningful use has not been achieved in just four years. Think back to early 2009 when the HITECH Act that ushered in the meaningful use program was signed.
The first goal of meaningful use was to vastly accelerate EHR adoption. By any measure, that has been a success. As of this past February, 453,426 eligible professionals had registered for the Medicare or Medicaid meaningful use programs, as had 4,711 hospitals. That means at minimum that these providers have EHRs or are darn close to getting them. As of February, 355,557 unique providers had received financial incentive payments under the program.
Any physician, nurse, or other health professional using an EHR simply has more available information on a patient than those documenting on paper. Thats damn meaningful. If the clinicians have gone through Stage 1, they are collecting demographic information for analysis, recording vital signs on a regular basis for tracking, maintaining problem/medication/allergy lists, giving patients more information through clinical summaries, using CPOE and e-prescribing, conducting drug safety checks, using some degree of clinical decision support, reporting clinical quality measures to regulators, and have at least tested electronic data exchange to some degree. Now, how many clinicians were doing any of these tasks electronically before the meaningful use program came along?
The meaningful use program has really been in operation for only about three years. Report authors are correct that interoperability is still lacking, yet it has advanced considerably more in three years than in the previous 20.
Stage 2 is off to a slow start because providers already had many other critical initiatives on their plates, and the second stage raises the bar significantly, including for interoperability. Many providers and vendors need more time to step up their game. Thats not failure. Thats whats meaningful.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2017
In Touch.
The touch that changes a life
The theatrical performance 'In Touch' is co-produced by the Inclusion Theatre Company (Russia) and the State Theatre of Nations (Russia), in association with the Graeae Theatre Company (UK), The British Council (UK) and the National Theatre (UK).
In Touch captures the real stories of deaf-blind, blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard-of-hearing, sighted and hearing people, told through an eclectic style of spoken, signed and physical theatre. The show explores the emotional rollercoaster of being human, how we each navigate our lives and what happens when these two very different worlds collide and unite.
In Touch is part of a long-term programme between the Inclusion Theatre Company and the State Theatre of Nations, using the arts to connect deaf-blind, sighted and hearing people through professional theatre, common humanitarian actions and cultural projects. The original production, Touch-Ables, based on the real stories of the actors and their interactions with the world and the diaries of a deaf-blind woman from twentieth-century Russia, had its premiere in Russia in 2015. The play was shown at leading venues in Moscow and St Petersburg, and was nominated for the prestigious Russian 'Golden Mask' theatre award. After 2 years of succesful life in Russia the play has been changed as it has changed the lives of the deafblind actors and their visibility in Russia. In the new international version called In Touch, deaf-blind and hearing and sighted actors from Russia, France and the UK will share their stories. In the theatrical performance at UNESCO in Paris, the miraculous story of Marie Huertin, a French deaf-blind woman from the past, and the inspirational life of a Russian deaf-blind professor from the present will be told by two well-known actors.

In today's solo episode, I'm getting raw and vulnerable about why I had to stop drinking at the age of 23. After nearly 6.5 years of sobriety, with a few ups and downs along the way, I've come to learn that moderation isn't in the cards for me when it comes to drinking. My hope is that through this episode you'll gain some insights into whether the things you are seeking a relationship of a moderate nature with actually warrant the time and energy you're putting into them.

For most consumers, "high-octane" THC is ill-suited for them on many levels. High THC is therapeutically less effective. It's not as enjoyable. And, it's far more likely to produce adverse — short and long-term — effects. So why do growers keep breeding stronger strains? Good question!
As long as cannabis has been used — nearly 5,000 years — medical practitioners have recognized the importance of moderate dosing. The earliest published volume on Chinese pharmacopoeia (circa 2700 B.C.E.), the Pen Ts'ao (The Herbal), warned consuming too many Ma (marijuana) seeds could cause a person to see demons, while moderate doses would enable users to communicate with the spirits. Of course, too much cannabis is unlikely to cause you to see demons, nor will just the right amount grant you mystical powers to "cross over." But, the point is that for thousands of years, we've known moderate doses are better than high doses.
The Biphasic Effect: Why Less is More
As humans, we're conditioned to think, "if a little bit is good, then more is better." Right? Rarely is this the case. Cannabis, like many substances, produces biphasic effects.
What is the "biphasic effect?" Think of alcohol. What happens when you drink a glass (or two) of wine? You feel relaxed, more sociable, the effects are pleasurable. Drink too much, and you can get overly emotional, aggressive, even physically ill. That's the biphasic effect at work. Low to moderate doses elicit desired effects; high doses do just the opposite.
The biphasic effects of cannabis are subtler than alcohol, but no less consequential. Low doses can make you feel relaxed and happy. Too much THC can impair cognitive function, and even induce intense anxiety or a panic attack. You can buy marijuana Online, medical cannabis oil for sale online, medical marijuana for sale online , Cartridges for sale online, edibles for sale online and marijuana for sale with skywalk .
When it comes to therapeutic use, too much THC can provide diminishing returns, or worse, exacerbate symptoms.
U.C. San Diego researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial and like many studies, confirmed cannabis is effective for pain relief — but within a narrow therapeutic window (the range in which a drug is effective).
Participants found no relief in either the placebo or low dose THC. The medium dose produced the most significant relief, while participants consuming the high THC dose cannabis experienced more pain. One shortcoming was that the study only considered THC (cannabis has numerous other cannabinoids and terpenoids that can influence outcomes). The authors acknowledged "there might be another compound within the cannabis leaf that we did not measure that may be leading to the increased pain at the high dose."
GW Pharma came to similar conclusions when conducting clinical trials for Sativex, a 1:1 THC/CBD oromucosal spray. Participants were given three daily dose ranges: low-dose (1-4 sprays), mid-dose (6-10 sprays), and high-dose (11-16 sprays). Predictably, low and mid dose groups achieved superior results over the placebo, while high-dose patients experienced more adverse effects (22% dropped out).
The biphasic effect has been documented in numerous studies of various conditions, from depression to multiple sclerosis.
Consumers Prefer Moderate THC Over High THC
Research has validated widespread anecdotal reports that consumers prefer mildly euphoric effects and therapeutic efficacy over getting as "high" as possible.
In a randomized-controlled trial (RCT) of 18 active cannabis users comparing the effects of vaping to smoking, San Francisco oncologist Dr. Donald Abrams and his team measured subjective outcomes like 'self-reported high' and how 'enjoyable' the experience was.
Participants were given low, medium, and high THC dose cannabis randomly on different days. Of those who expressed a preference, no one preferred the lowest dose, but twice as many people preferred the medium dose over the high dose.
"This is not your parents' pot," is a favorite punchline used by prohibitionists to suggest the reputation of cannabis as a relatively benign substance is no longer deserved. No doubt, they fail to consider that higher concentrations aren't always a bad thing. Anecdotal and scientific evidence suggest — including the Abrams study — that patients self-titrate and inhale more deeply when THC is lower. If a consumer has to inhale less smoke to achieve the desired effect, clearly that is healthier. However, there's a point of not only diminishing returns, but where THC levels are simply too high to be therapeutically useful or enjoyable for the vast majority of consumers.
As cannabis becomes more mainstream and savvier consumers start to favor strains (like wines) for properties beyond potency — bouquet, diverse terpenes and aromas, craftsmanship — growers may take note. Instead of growers trying to outdo each other with their obsession to drive up psychoactive potency, they'll focus their efforts on creating a wider array of complex strains rich in a variety of terpenoids and cannabinoids beyond THC.

BUENA VISTA, Va. – A Dominic Milburn 12-foot fadeaway as time expired pushed the Salisbury University men's basketball team's winning streak to three with a 72-70 win over Southern Virginia University, Saturday afternoon at Knights Sports Arena.
Senior Tim Harwood led the Salisbury (9-10) attack with 20 points, going 7-for-11 from the field, including 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line. With his threes in today's contest, the Rockville, Md., native passed Devin Jones (2006-10) for seventh on the all-time Salisbury list for most threes made with 137.
Milburn scored the first and last buckets for the Sea Gulls, adding 12 points in between to finish with 16 points in the contest. This was the sixth straight contest with double digit points for the senior from Silver Spring, Md.
The first half was a back-and-forth battle, with neither team holding more than a five-point lead. Neither team would lead by double digits in the contest, with Southern Virginia pulling ahead by nine, 61-52, with 7:02 remaining in the contest.
Salisbury was down eight, 68-60, with 3:20 to go following a Kenrick Hart layup. Following a 30-second timeout that put a comeback plan in place, the Sea Gulls rallied back. Milburn started the push, putting home a layup with 3:04 remaining.
Southern Virginia (4-11) was unable to answer on its next possession, with Hart missing a layup. Freshman Gordon Jeter pulled down the rebound and the Sea Gulls swung the ball around for a three by Brandyn Wilkerson that was off target. Jeter pulled down the final of his team-high nine rebounds, with the ball getting back to Wilkerson, who was fouled. The Mount Airy, Md., native sank two free throws to cut the Knight lead to 68-64.
Following another defensive stop, Milburn put home a layup that narrowed the Knight lead to a bucket. Following two SVU free throws for their final points in the contest, the Sea Gulls faced a 70-66 deficit with 70 seconds remaining.
Harwood put home a layup nine seconds later, bringing the Sea Gulls back within a basket. Salisbury forced a turnover on the next Knight possession, setting the stage to tie the contest. Milburn got to the hoop for a layup to tie the score at 70-70 with 36 seconds remaining.
Southern Virginia had an opportunity to pull ahead but Chris Baker missed a jumper with seven seconds remaining. Harwood pulled down the last of his four rebounds, giving the Sea Gulls the opportunity to win in regulation.
Milburn made the most of that opportunity, giving the Sea Gulls a thrilling win.
Freshman Justin Witmer scored nine points off the bench, while junior Conor Strickland, freshman Charles Porter and Wilkerson added eight points each for the Sea Gulls.
Salisbury is next in action this Wednesday, Feb. 5, returning to Maggs Physical Activities Center to host Christopher Newport University. That contest is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Arthritis Home > Remicade Side Effects
Potential side effects of Remicade include infections, infusion reactions, stomach pain, and headaches. Most people, however, have no problems with the medication. If side effects occur, they are usually minor and easily treated. If you experience more serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, seizures, or unexplained bleeding, you should contact your healthcare provider.
An Introduction to Remicade Side EffectsAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with Remicade® (infliximab). However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If Remicade side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Remicade. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of side effects with you.)
Common Side Effects of RemicadeRemicade has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, in which the side effects of a group of people taking the drug are documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
In these studies, the most common Remicade side effects included:
- Infections -- in up to 74 percent of people
- "Infusion reactions" (fever, chills, or other reactions that occur while the drug is administered intravenously) -- up to 20 percent
- Headaches -- up to 18 percent
- Abdominal pain (stomach pain) -- up to 12 percent
- Coughing -- up to 12 percent
- Anemia -- up to 11 percent
- Heartburn or indigestion -- up to 11 percent
- Blood in the stool -- up to 10 percent
- A rash -- up to 10 percent.
Other common side effects, occurring in 7 to 9 percent of people, included:
- Flushing
- Back pain
- Broken bones

Termite protection in Gold Coast is essential in order to ensure your home is safe from large scale infestation that could cause serious structural damage in the building as well as from any future costly infestations. Termites can travel long distances underground in order to get to your building. They can also get into your building via various cracks and crevices that are in the concrete slabs of the building.
Due to the various entry points through which the termites can get into your building, there is a diverse array for options for termite protection in Gold Coast that you can institute in order to ensure that your building is safe from termite infestation.
Due to the local Australian seasons, soils, timber and weather conditions across the country, termite infestations are a fairly common occurrence in many Australian homes. However, you must not resign to the fact that the situation is beyond control by virtue of you living in this beautiful country. There are, equally, highly effective termite protection measures deployed by reputable pest control companies in the Gold Coast that will help you to completely rid yourself of the nasty termite problem on your premises.
Some of the common techniques deployed in termite protection in Gold Coast include the following:
Carrying out termite monitoring
Termite monitoring on your premises will be done through various bait stations around your home which are completely non-obtrusive. The main purpose of these bait stations is to detect any termite activity in the ground early on so that the pest control expert can carry out the necessary control measures before the activity gets out of hand. It is a commonly used technique that can be deployed at any point during the construction of the building.
Use of chemical termite barriers
With the chemical barrier technique, a liquid chemical will be applied to the soil as well as beneath the concrete flooring. Sometimes, it can also be applied around the house perimeter. This technique can also be deployed at any phase of the building's life.
Physical barriers for termites
This technique for termite protection in Gold Coast can be used during the building construction or when you are constructing an extension of the current building. These barriers will physically stop the termites from getting into the structure and will in turn force the termites to be out in the open where they can be detected with greater ease upon inspection. The physical barrier is simply a layer of protective material that is laid out on the building structure before the application of slab. It can also be deployed on the perimeter of the building where it can serve as a partial barrier against termite infestation. It can be used to prevent the subterranean termite infestations of the building.
Use of reticulation systems
This is another effective technique for termite protection in Gold Coast. In this case, a series of subterranean piping is laid out around the perimeter of the building as well is in the foundations of the building in order to distribute chemicals for controlling termite infestations. The system is permanent and will allow for future re-application of the chemicals which are used in controlling termite infestations. A reticulation system can generally be laid out before the construction begins.
These are some of the main techniques used in termite protection in Gold Coast. You can hire a professional termite control expert to help you in protecting your home against any future infestations by using any of these techniques.

Top-Grossing Android Games: Live Holdem Poker Pro Rivals My Country
October 1, 2011 9:00 AM | Eric Caoili
Every week, GameSetWatch's Danny Cowan rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day in the Android Market. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Cooper Media's My Country and Dragonplay's Live Holdem Poker Pro leading today's rankings, as Tap Fish and Drag Racing also report fast sales.
These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money in the Android Market that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies.
Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in the Android Market's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings.
This week's top-grossing Android titles are:
1. My Country (Free)
2. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free)
3. Paradise Island (Free)
4. Tap Fish (Free)
5. Zynga Poker (Free)
6. Drag Racing (Free)
7. Bakery Story (Free)
8. Restaurant Story (Free)
9. Fashion Story (Free)
10. Texas Poker (Free)
Cooper Media's sim title My Country once again leads the Android's top grossing charts, while Gameview Studios' Tap Fish drops to fourth after claiming second place last week.
Live Holdem Poker Pro and Paradise Island also continue to report impressive microtransaction earnings, as Zynga Poker overtakes Drag Racing, Bakery Story, and Restaurant Story to land at fifth place.

AIIB eyes co-financing with pension funds, insurance
BEIJING: The China sponsored Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in which India is the second biggest stakeholder is looking to work with pension funds and insurance firms to co-finance infrastructure projects, its President has said.
AIIB president Jin Liqun said during a business forum held in the northwestern Chinese city of Xi'an yesterday that other regional infrastructure lenders and financial institutions have also expressed interest in co-financing opportunities with AIIB.
China last year cleared a proposal to invest its pension funds valued about $315 bin stocks and equities after the government sets rules to regulate the change.
Observers said China may seriously consider investing the funds in AIIB projects as most of the infrastructure finance to different countries goes through their governments which ensure safety and better returns.
Jin said the Beijing-based lender is working on a mechanism to enable long-term investors such as pension funds and insurance companies to join its funding of infrastructure projects.
AIIB has already approved four loans totaling $509 million to fund infrastructure projects in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Indonesia.
Three of them are expected to be co-financed with partners including the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
AIIB will begin reviewing membership applications from some 30 countries in September as it calls on more countries to join its infrastructure funding efforts.
Jin added that the world's first multilateral infrastructure lender led by a developing country will chart a new course in funding projects while learning best practices from established lenders.
He said the lender has been designed to ensure efficiency and accountability and it will also review the environmental and social impact of infrastructure investment.
The AIIB was founded in December 2015 and counts many major developed countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Singapore, as prospective founding members, state run Xinhua news agency reported.
The AIIB was officially established late last year with 57 founding members.
With authorised capital of $100 billion, China is the largest shareholder with 26.06 per cent voting shares.
India is the second largest shareholder with 7.5 per cent followed by Russia 5.93 per cent and Germany with 4.5 per cent.

Hi ladies
Hubby and I are having a debate already about whether to find out the sex. With Jacob we weren't going to but at the scan it was very obvious he was a boy. So we didn't tell anyone we knew. So everyone else still had a surprise. This time I would like to have a surprise. But hubby thinks it will be easier if we know, even if we don't tell anyone again.
What are you all going to do? Xx

Hi JM
We didn't find out with our ds and it was nice having a surprise but it also didn't matter to us as we had painted nursery yellow and bought White/neutral clothes anyway.
This time I would love to know early but think we will wait again for a couple of reasons. One being it's a nice to have the surprise but also I think my mum & mil would like me to have a girl this time so don't want 'disappointment' before baby is even born! I know friends who have had same sex the second time around and people say oh nevermind and things like that which is irritating!
But if you were to keep it to yourself then no matter. Curiosity may get the better of me though we'll see!
C2b xxx0
We didn't find out with our son and I won't find out for this lo either. I always thought I would be the person who would want to find out, but in the event, no. In saying that I was so convinced my son was going to be a girl I asked them to check again when they said it was a boy! Now I can't imagine having anything but a boy, but like C2BMummy, I think my mum wants me to have a girl. She has one granddaughter, but she's 24 so its been a while since a girl was born on my side of the family. My MIL wouldn't be bothered either way, she has 2 granddaughters and three grandsons (including my son) all under 6 already!0
We didn't find out with our first child but this time i'm thinking maybe we should find out so we can get organised either dig out all my little boys newborn stuff to reuse or shop for pink - i think we'll decide when we get to our scan appointment - no doubt we'll leave it as a suprise,
We didn't find out with our wee boy, but we were convinced we were having a boy anyway. This time we are going to find out but I'm hoping for another boy. Either way, we'll be happy0
I am the same. All our family would love a girl! My husband is 1 of 3 boys and his dad is 1 of 10 boys so my inlaws would do anything for a granddaughter! They adore our son so I am worried he would be overlooked now if we did have a girl. When I was pregnant with my son my father in law kept saying wont it be lovely if its a girl, and i kept replying no actually I hope its a boy! As we knew it was a boy and I was worried if it had been a girl they would have been way over the top. But as it was they were over the top anyways!
It so much pressure for something that we actually have no control over! I know I will feel really guilty either way. If its a boy I will feel guilty that we didnt have a girl that the families really want and if we have a girl I will feel guilty that my son will not get as much attention!
I was really in 2 minds when we had our first, right up to the day of the 20 week scan. I finally decided to find out but then they couldn't tell! So I had a surprise on the day and was really glad I did. I really wanted a little girl and that was what I got.
This time again I would like a surprise, but I feel like it would make sense to find out so I know whether or not to carry on keeping all her clothes!! We shall see.....
Also I'd really like another girl and feel I would like time to get used to the idea if I was having a boy...
It's a dilemma!0
we will be finding out the sex mainly so we know what to buy etc as my lo is just 11months old... i also feel very under pressure as everyone thinks i will have a girl but mainly because they want a girl in the family... i will be happy either way of course and with lo everyone thought he would be a girl and i always said he was a boy (only because they all said he would be a she lol) xx0
At our antenatal clinic we have to sign a form before our 20 week scans to state whether we do or do not want the sonographer to tell us the sex of the baby - they have been known to get it wrong on a few occassions so probably best to leave it as a suprise - couldn't imagine being told it was one sex to find out when delivering the baby its the complete opposite!0
We want to find out and I can't wait! We both think it'll just be easier to know so we can buy pink or blue0
G/C but I didn't find out with either of my girls. With DD1 we were convinced she was going to be a boy with all the old wives tales pointing that way save for the good old chinese gender predictor. This time around again the gender predictor said she'd be a girl & I strongly suspected it myself from 20wks onwards (all fetal heartrates were between 140-160 which normally gives good indication). They've only just started offering gender scans in my area & they aren't cheap with only a 60% chance pf accuracy.0
i couldnt imagine finding out, it would take away all the excitement for me i think. OH feels the same.

Suunto Vector
Every outdoorsman needs a good watch, in my case I ended up with a suunto vector. The watch has a number of features which have been useful. The watch has an altimeter, a compass, a barometer, and a thermometer. The altimeter (once calibrated) is decent, and can be a useful aid to navigation. The altimeter also has a "logbook" which will tell u the height climbed, height descended, and maximum height of the day. The compass too is useful and reasonably accurate. The compass works by alligning the small bubble in the level in the centre, and the direction you poin the watch in, is displayed in degrees. The barometer is good, but a reading in millabars isn't really that useful if you don't know what the number means. More useful is the pressure trend graph which indicates whether the current pressure trend is dropping, rising or staying constant. This can help predict weather if you understand the mechanics of weather enough. The thermometer is utterly useless, it is effected by your body heat and is yet to give me an accurate reading on which I would rely.
In addition the watch is waterproof, has a stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm and various other standard watch features, and comes in a choice of yellow, black and olive green (for military types). It can be fitted with 3 different strap types; neoprene, rubber, and material.
All in all the watch is good, little steep at £170 but if you look around you can get it sub £120.
Useful video on youtube about the function of the watch may help you understand the features;

Computational models provide novel genetic insights into atherosclerosis
Researchers have identified a new gene-activation pathway caused by lipids associated with coronary artery disease, a finding that could help identify new directions in research and drug development. The study was published in June in Nature Communications.
The discovery that exposure to lipids activates a gene called MTHFD2 in the walls of blood vessels was made by researchers from the Institute for Cardiovascular Physiology of Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. The researchers used a computational model of the cells lining blood vessels in the human heart developed at Mount Sinai.
Atherosclerosis is caused by the buildup of a complex mixture of components, commonly referred to as plaque, within the inner lining of arteries. Oxidized phospholipids are abundant in this arterial plaque and are thought to promote atherosclerosis progression. However, the specific cellular processes caused by these lipids on the arterial surface are still not well understood. The cells composing the inner surface of blood vessels, called endothelial cells, are at the forefront of the atherosclerotic process and therefore are a major focus of research into coronary artery disease.
"Endothelial cell response to lipids has been studied extensively over the years, but it was still unknown that MTHFD2 was even functional in these cells," said Jun Zhu, PhD, Professor of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine; Head of Data Science at Sema4, a patient-centered predictive health company that is a Mount Sinai venture; and co-senior author of the study. "Computational biological models such as the one we used in this study are allowing us to uncover a wealth of knowledge about complex diseases that we never could before."
The international research team predicted and validated in follow-up experiments that the MTHFD2 gene plays a key role in endothelial cell response to oxidized phospholipids. They found that MTHFD2 was also activated in endothelial cells in response to other factors, such as inflammation or a change in amino acid concentration. This underscores the many factors involved in the development of atherosclerosis that must be understood and taken into consideration when approaching disease therapies.
"Our study showed that when the MTHFD2 gene is activated in endothelial cells in response to oxidized lipids, it sends out molecular 'danger signals' promoting inflammation and stimulating the atherosclerotic process," said Ralf Brandes, MD, Director of the Institute for Cardiovascular Physiology and Professor of Physiology at Goethe University. "These findings suggest that MTHFD2 could be a novel target to disrupt development and progression of atherosclerosis."
While the role of MTHFD2 in the vascular system was unknown before this study, the gene is known to be consistently activated in cancer, making it a promising target for cancer therapies. MTHFD2 inhibitors are already in clinical trials as anti-cancer therapies. "It's possible that these therapies could also help prevent coronary artery disease, but more research into the specific role of MTHFD2 in atherosclerosis is needed first before proposing it as a target for potential therapy," said Dr. Zhu.
