15 Ocean View Vacation Rentals To Celebrate A Special Occasion in Playa del Carmen
The Mexican Caribbean holds a mysterious power over those who grace its sandy shores. Once seduced by her beauty, you are forever under her spell. The hypnotic motion of turquoise waves rolling in to kiss palm-fringed shores. The way the rising sun sets the sky ablaze with color bursts of orange and pink. The illusion of a thousand glistening diamonds dancing upon the water as the moon shines on the sea's glassy surface come nightfall. These images make a lasting impression and become permanent residents in the hearts and minds of anyone who is fortunate enough to witness their grandeur.
Since too many people live a hectic lifestyle overflowing with social and professional obligations, the easy-going pace of the Caribbean life is more appealing than ever. Scientists are proving that spending time at the beach is good for the mind and body. Hearing the rhythmic waves de-stimulates the brain. These soothing sounds along with the visuals of the sand and surf, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which settles us into a relaxed state (also known as tropical bliss around these parts.)
If you have a special occasion coming up and are looking for a memorable destination, your search should begin and end in Playa del Carmen. Recently awarded for Leading City Break Destination in Mexico and Central America, this slow-paced, yet cosmopolitan city showcases extraordinary white-sand beaches, a high-end gastronomy and nightlife scene as well as phenomenal natural surroundings.
Are you ready to disconnect from a constant stream of incoming emails and phone calls? Or leave behind soccer practices and homework in exchange for some dreamy downtime with your family or your best pals? Does the idea of spending a string of stress-free sunny days and good times with your favourite people in the world light you up? What better environment to encourage connectedness and a sense of playfulness than on a relaxed beach vacation?
Recently we welcomed a group of guests who had reunited in Playa del Carmen forty years after graduating from college. Under a blanket of blue skies and coconut palms, the fellow alumni had a blast catching up for a week and rekindling their friendships.
Flying in from different cities, families convene in the Riviera Maya for some uninterrupted, quality time in paradise with the grandparents, cousins and other cherished relatives. The Caribbean coastline, cenote swimming holes, and eco-parks offer the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure for travellers of every age.
Before their upcoming nuptials, brides and grooms-to-be flock to Playa del Carmen with their closest friends and family to officially say farewell to their freedom, uh hum, their single status. The fabulous casual, yet metropolitan vibe of the city is ideal for those who want to soak up the Caribbean sun by day then dine at posh eateries and hit the dance floor by night.
When celebrating an important occasion with people who are dear to you, it's nice to be able to unite in an intimate and comfortable setting. Furthermore, if you decide to mark a momentous time in your life in an exotic vacation destination, it's befitting that you be wowed by the accommodations and services you have spent your hard-earned money on.

Fecal flotation is a routine veterinary test that is used to identify the presence of intestinal parasites or "worms".
"The test actually detects the eggs of mature parasites..."
The test actually detects the eggs of mature parasites that live in the intestine and excrete their eggs to the outside in the host's stool. Some of the parasites are worm-like, while others are simple single-celled organisms called protozoa.
How does the test work?
Stool material is mixed with a special solution that causes the parasite eggs to float to the surface. The eggs are collected from the surface of the liquid onto a glass slide, which is then examined under the microscope. If eggs are found, the type of parasite can be identified by the appearance of the eggs, while the number of eggs present can often estimate the severity of the infection.
What sample is needed?
"...the stool sample should be no more than 24 hours old."
A small amount of fresh stool, about a 1" long section, is all that is needed; ideally, the stool sample should be no more than 24 hours old. The stool sample should be as free as possible of grass, gravel, kitty litter, etc. The sample can be collected in any clean container with a tightly fitting lid; this may be a container brought from home, such as a clean margarine tub, or a container provided by your veterinarian.
When should fecal flotation be done?
Kittens and puppies are more likely to be infected with intestinal parasites and are more prone to re-infection than adult pets. Frequent stool checks are recommended for young animals and pet owners should bring a fresh stool sample with them to each of the initial series of veterinary visits. Additional testing may be recommended if a pet is found to be infected with parasites, develops diarrhea, or fails to gain weight as expected.
Mature pets are less likely to be infected with parasites, and a routine fecal flotation test at the time of annual vaccination is usually sufficient for monitoring the healthy adult pet. However, if an adult pet develops diarrhea of unknown cause, exhibits unexplained weight loss, or has a history of prior parasitic infections, additional fecal testing will often be recommended.
Does the test work every time?
Fecal flotation is a simple screening test, and may fail to detect infection in certain situations.
"Some intestinal parasites just cannot be reliably detected with fecal flotation."
Sometimes the worms in the intestine are too young to produce eggs. If eggs are not present in the stool, then the infection will not be detected. This is most likely to happen in young pets, and is one of the reasons for doing multiple tests in puppies and kittens. In other situations, if the infection is mild and there are only a few mature parasites in the intestine, then the number of eggs in the stool sample may be too low to be detected. In these pets, the fecal flotation may be negative even though parasites are present. Some of the intestinal parasites produce small numbers of eggs on an infrequent basis. Finally, some intestinal parasites just cannot be reliably detected with fecal flotation.
If the fecal flotation is negative and the veterinarian still suspects there is a problem with parasites, repeat fecal flotation may be recommended, or a totally different method of searching for the parasites may be used (fecal wet mount, concentration methods, fecal Baermann etc.).

Up to date information about various treatments and dental issues that may be relevant to you can be found on the Oral Health Foundation website please click on the link.
It may be appropriate to remove unsightly silver (amalgam) fillings and replace them with tooth coloured material ( composite resin or ceramic).
Prices start from £80 or covered under Denplan.
This is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through decay or injury, sometimes causing an abscess. Root Canal Treatment can save a tooth which would otherwise be extracted.
Prices start from £220.00 (1 root tooth) up to £395 for a multi rooted tooth or covered under Denplan.
Periodontics deals with the supporting structures around the teeth-the roots of the teeth, the gums and underlying bone. One of the commonest causes of tooth loss later in life is gum disease (or periodontitis) which, when left untreated, causes inflammation of the gums, the development of gaps(pockets) between the gums and the teeth and the loss of the supporting bone. Eventually looseness of the teeth may be noticed and ultimately the teeth may be lost. Periodontitis is caused by an abnormal response to the accumulation of bacteria(plaque) but it may be controlled with appropriate action on the part of the patient and with professional treatment, ensuring life-long retention of the teeth. Periodontal treatments range from simple personal and professional cleaning to surgical correction. Most periodontal treatment can be carried out 'in house' but when appropriate we would arrange referral for you to see a specialist periodontist.
Prices start from £50.00 or covered under Denplan.
Our team will endeavour to take special care of your children to make them feel safe and cared for. We believe in preventative dental care and advise check ups from a young age. Fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to safeguard your child's teeth from developing tooth decay. Fissure sealants are another preventative measure mainly for the biting surfaces of back teeth. If treatment is needed, we try to build up trust with your child and make every treatment as gentle, effective and as stress-free as possible.
Denplan for children starts from £11.01/month
What are fissure sealants?
Fissure sealants are white plastic coatings that are painted onto the biting surfaces of the back teeth.
Why are fissure sealants recommended?
The top surfaces of the back teeth where the chewing takes place are not smooth and flat. They are crossed by tiny hills and valleys called pits and fissures. To prevent tooth decay in the pits and fissures we can seal them off with a fissure sealant. This reduces the risk of decay six times compared to a tooth without fissure sealants.
At what age would we advise fissure sealants?
The primary molars should have completely erupted into the oral cavity with matured enamel- from around 7 years of age.
How do fissure sealants seal the teeth?
The teeth ready to be fissure sealed will be cleaned with an etching-gel and thoroughly rinsed with water. Under absolute dry conditions a thin flowing composite material will be applied onto the fissures, and with a special blue light the composite is hardened.
How often should the sealants be renewed?
The renewing of the fissure sealant depends on the oral care and diet of the child. A fissure sealed tooth can be renewed if some or all of it comes off. We would check for the integrity of the sealants at least twice a year.
Fissure sealants £12 each or covered under Denplan.
When a child is diagnosed with tooth decay, the decay must be removed and the tooth restored. We look to use modern materials (white fillings) such as glass ionomer cement or a composite restorative material.
Fillings from £30 or covered under Denplan.
The loss of primary teeth can cause space problems in the jaw. That is why we focus on preserving diseased primary teeth to ensure that the ensuing permanent teeth have enough space.
Stainless steel crowns are pre-fabricated silver-coloured crowns specially made for primary molar teeth. They maintain the chewing function and space until the permanent teeth erupt. The material is a high quality stainless steel, just like the metals used in fixed braces in older children having their teeth straightened.
Price £75 or covered under Denplan.
A mouth needs protection just as any other vital body part. The mouthguard cushions an attack directed to the oral cavity, otherwise it ends with an injury in the face, lips and tongue, along with broken teeth.
- A mouthguard is not only important for boxing, cricket, rugby, football or hockey players, The American Association for Paediatric Dentistry has advised that children should use a mouthguard while playing baseball, basketball, skating, skate-boarding, cycling, snow-boarding and skiing.
Custom-made mouthguards offer the most comfort and fit perfectly — thus giving the best protection. To purchase one, a visit to your dentist is necessary. The dentist takes an imprint of the teeth and a dental technician then prepares the mouthguard.
Pre-fabricated mouthguards are a cheap alternative that can be found in a sports shop. It is however pre-fabricated and therefore not custom-made for each individual — so they may fit badly, keep dropping out and be uncomfortable to wear.
How long do custom-made mouthguards last?
Because your child is still growing, new teeth will come through and move into position. Because of this, the mouthguard may become too tight or loose, and will need to be remade to fit around every 2 years in a developing dentition.
Price from £55
We screen for cancer at every check-up (usually every 6 months) but are always happy to see patients in-between visits if they have any concerns.
You may have tried tooth whitening toothpastes or mouthwashes or may have bought home tooth whitening kits from a high street chemist. In our experience, most people are disappointed to find that the results achieved by these products are neither as good as expected nor as long-lasting.
We offer home whitening using overnight whitening gel which starts from £325.
Alternatively we offer a deep bleaching in surgery method for really bright results from £525
A dental bridge is used to treat spaces and gaps where there are a few teeth to replace. There are different types of bridges available.
Cost varies.
These are thin "fingernails" of porcelain which are glued to the surface of your teeth following some tooth preparation. They can be used to treat broken teeth, mask mildly discoloured teeth and correct minor imperfections in the position of your teeth.
Prices start from £400.00.
These cover a tooth more completely than veneers. They can be used to treat badly stained or discoloured teeth, badly broken teeth and greater positional imperfections.
Prices start from £450.00.

What Is Invisalign?
The Invisalign treatment programme is a very gradual process that uses transparent 'aligners' that are made to fit over your teeth perfectly. They are soft, comfortable and barely visible. The aligners can also be easily removed, so you can eat and drink as normal, and they are very easy to clean. Many of our patients tell us that after a few days they don't even notice they are wearing them!
How Does Invisalign Work?
To begin your Invisalign treatment, your dentist will examine your teeth to make sure you are suitable for treatment and are dentally fit. An impression will be taken that will then be used to create your aligners. You will be able to see how your new smile will look using the innovative 'ClinCheck 3D treatment plan', at which time you can accept the treatment plan or ask for modifications if you are not happy with how your new smile will look.
During the course of your treatment, you will be fitted with several aligners, each slightly different to the last, which will need to be changed at a rate of roughly once week. Your dentist will keep an eye on how your treatment is progressing with regular appointments. At the end of your treatment plan, you will need to wear retainers to prevent your teeth from moving back to a less optimal position.
What Issues Can Be Fixed With Invisalign?
- Gaps between the teeth
- Overbite — where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth.
- Crowded and crooked teeth.
- Underbite — where the lower teeth stick out past the front teeth.
- Crossbite — where the upper teeth bite on the inside of your the lower teeth
Will Invisalign Work For Me?
Your dentist may recommend the Invisalign treatment programme for you if you have crowded teeth, gapped teeth or an overbite, and if you are an older teenager or adult. The system must be kept in place for 22 hours a day or longer and so you must be willing and able to accept this as the most effective way of achieving the smile you want. You can usually use the Invisalign system even if you have pre-existing treatments in place such as crowns or bridges. But if your dentist decides – upon examining your mouth – that this system is unsuitable for any reason then they will be able to recommend a suitable alternative form of teeth-straightening treatment.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
This is a comfortable, convenient, gradual process that will take several weeks or months to achieve the final result: a straighter, more even smile.

Guntur MP Galla Jayadev has requested Union Minister Suresh Prabhu to develop railway facilities in the capital region. He asked the minister to take up works related to the doubling and electrification of the 36 km stretch from Tenali and Repalle. Jayadev felt that the completion of the project will make it possible to run more long-distance trains through Guntur, the nearest station to the capital region.
"While taking up this project, Sangam Jagarlamudi station should be provided with a foot over bridge which will help not only in connecting platforms but also in facilitating about 400 students who cross the rail tracks to reach their school on the other side of the station," the MP felt. Besides this project, Jayadev suggested doubling and electrification of Pagidipalli-Nalgonda-Nadikudi-Nallapadu stations.
"This is a shorter route to reach Guntur-Mangalagiri-Vijayawada from Secunderabad. This route facilitates introduction of more trains to Chennai touching the AP capital region. The proposed Nadikudi-Kalahasthi route will generate more revenue for railways once Pagidipalli-Nallapadu doubling and electrification is completed as Nallapadu-Guntakal is already electrified," he said.Jayadev maintained that the Guntur station should be given a facelift as it is playing host to the new capital.
"A comprehensive station development blueprint devised earlier involving construction of footover bridge and expansion of platforms needs to be implemented," he said.The MP also pitched for halting of all express trains at Mangalagiri Railway Station in view of several national institutions coming up in the town. He requested the authorities for laying the crossing line at Vemuru and releasing of sufficient funds to complete the same to reduce the delay in reaching destinations on either sides. Jaya Dev in his appeal asked for the introduction of new trains covering Guntur-Mangalagiri-Vijayawada.
"The new trains should include Guntur-Tirupati-Guntur Intercity Express via Tenali and Gudur. A day train connecting Bapatla, Chirala, Ongole and Nellore for the benefit of students and employees, Guntur-New Delhi superfast express via Vijayawada and Kazipet, Vijayawada-Mysore express train via Guntur-Gooty-Bengaluru, Guntur to Guwahati Superfast Express, Kakinada to Jaipur Superfast Express, Tirupati to Katra/Jammu and Vijayawada-Dhone-Vijayawada intercity express via Guntur-Nandyal," he suggested.Jayadev also sought the revival of Nagarjuna Express which served the passengers between Secunderabad and Tenali as passengers in the region are unable to find a standing space in Janma Bhoomi express.

Cami & Jason 6.4.11 Hilton
This reception turned out awesome! Cami and Jason had their reception in the Illini Ballroom at the Hilton with nearly 165 guests. The black and hot pink really popped! We provided black polyester chair covers with hot pink satin sashes, black polyester floor-length tablecloths, and hot pink satin runners.
Here you can see their beautiful cake which was spotlighted in the middle of the dance floor. The same spotlight was used later on in the evening when Cami and Jason shared their first dance to "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden. We also provided hot pink uplighting around the perimeter of the room which looked incredible when the lights were dimmed and the dance party started!
Cami and Jason incorporated some unique entertainment throughout the night! It all started after dinner when the bride and groom were called to the middle of the dance floor for a fun question game, also known as the "Shoe Game". As their DJ, we were given a list of questions that included things such as "who's the better cook," "who is always right", etc. Cami and Jason had to compete for who knows the most in the relationship. It was a cute way for guests to get to know the couple even more. Best of luck to Cami and Jason!

Eiscue, the 'Penguin Pokemon'. This Pokemon keeps its heat-sensitive head cool with ice. It fishes for its food, dangling its single hair into the sea to lure in prey.
An ice cube on a penguin. Nice. Wow. This is one of, if not the dumbest designs ever made in the history of fiction, at least in my opinion. The Ice King from Adventure Time looks better, in my opinion. If he ever needs an assistant, Eiscue will be ready, I guess. What's...

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein 5th June 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Raman taking Ishita's side. Kadam says why are you taking her side, she has shot her son, you may forgive her, I will not spare her. Raman goes. Ishita rearranges the clothes in anger. Roshni looks on and says I have brought water for you, what are you doing. Ishita says I was cleaning the mess. Roshni says Ishita is worried, what might be the reason. Simmi and Mrs. Bhalla argue to cook first in the kitchen. Mihika says its fine, let Simmi cook food, Romi has gone out for some days. Mrs. Bhalla asks where did he go, he must have informed. Mihika says he had urgent work, everything is fine, he is little tense about office work. She thinks how to tell you Romi has gone to arrange money for the flat. She goes.
Simmi thinks Mihika is hiding something, I have to find
out. Mani thanks Shagun for coffee. He says we must meet Mrs. Sharma's son soon. Shagun asks how did Ishita come there, its good Aaliya is convinced now. He says just hope that everything goes on fine, lets enjoy the coffee. Ruhi talks to Roshni on call and asks is Ishimaa fine. Roshni says she is washing clothes in bathroom. Ruhi says this is her way to vent out anger, Raman's friend threatened to cancel her license, there is some side effect of his root canal treatment, I heard that man is influential.
Roshni asks what, Raman won't help her either. Ruhi says I will figure it out. Pihu comes and asks Ruhi to sit, lunch wasn't made at home, so Mrs. Bhalla has sent a pizza for her too. She asks why are you in tension. Ruhi says I don't know what should I do of Raman and Ishita. Pihu says if they were kids, I would have locked them inside the room and asked them to sort out their fight. Ruhi says you are a genius, what a wonderful idea. Ruhi comes to Raman to show some file. He gets a call. He asks is the meeting cancelled, the minister has fixed the appointment, fine I will reach Jaipur and meet him. Ruhi says this isn't the file, I forgot the file. He says I have other work now. She says I m also going for meeting. He calls Shweta and asks for Aaliya. Shagun calls Aaliya and asks her to go to a spa, she has to look good and meet Mrs. Sharma's son. Aaliya says I have no time. Shagun says you can go tomorrow.
Kadam comes to the cafe and meets Ruhi. He asks why did you call me here, is everything fine. She says yes, I have heard you are cancelled Ishita's license. He says yes, I will teach her a lesson. She says you won't do this, I know you and your power well, you have contacts till Panama, if anyone leaks your papers, what will happen. He says don't worry, you are smart and sweet, I will not do anything such. He goes. Ruhi smiles and says Ishimaa, get ready to get locked in Jaipur, a bit of lies is fine. Ishita is at the airport and talks to Roshni on call. Raman sees her. Ishita says Ruhi has found a good lawyer for me, I have to go Jaipur and meet him, no one can revoke my license. Raman asks about the flight. Ishita hears him and turns to see. She thinks Raman is going Jaipur. The lady says the flight is on time.
She gives the boarding pass to Ishita. Raman thinks Ishita is going to Jaipur. Ishita thinks I m going to travel with Raman in same flight. Ruhi says I have sent Ishita to Jaipur by an excuse, I can't say if their differences will get over, lets hope for the best. Pihu agrees. Ishita and Raman see each other boarding pass, which got exchanged. They look at each other. Raman asks a man to find Ishita and give her boarding pass. Ishita says its me, and takes the pass. She puts Raman's pass on the sofa. A man sits there. Raman says you are sitting on my boarding card, will you get up. Ishita smiles. Raman gets the pass.
He goes to attend a call. He says I have to complete this task and meet the minister. Ishita hears him and thinks Raman is going there to revoke my license. She calls Ruhi. She says I m going to Jaipur. Ruhi says I know, I have booked your tickets. Ishita says yes, how silly of me, Raman is also going to Jaipur to meet a minister. Ruhi says I don't know. Ishita says what other task he has there. Ruhi says maybe he went for an urgent meeting. She gets Raman's call. Ruhi and Pihu jump happily while talking to Ishita and Raman. Raman says I m going to Jaipur. Ruhi says I know I have packed your bag. He says yes, Ishita is also here. Ruhi says oh, I will ask her the reason. He says I don't care, I will board the flight now. Ruhi gets back to Ishita's call and asks is Papa troubling you, shall I ask him why is he going there. Ishita says no, I don't care.
Ruhi says have a safe journey. Ruhi and Pihu get happy. Ruhi says it means they are together, they have ego and won't accept that they care for each other. Pihu says I have to see what happens next. Raman and Ishita hear the announcement of flight delay. Ruhi asks what, is Ishita not coming today, no tell her to come any way, tell her you are going on vacation, Ishita has to be there today. Ishita asks the lady if she can accommodate her in any other flight. Raman asks the same. The lady says all flights are overbooked, sorry. A man says we can go by road, we shall leave in the car. Raman and Ishita hear the man and think to leave for Jaipur.
Raman and Ishita take the same cab and argue. They have an eyelock.

Lessons learned from online journals
There are lessons to be learned from the first round of online journals, hammered out over time in the private spheres of close friends and associates. Many from that time have moved on to other things, but their legacy remains at the core of blogging's foundations.
Write for an audience of friends.
When you have an audience of a million people, there's no way to anticipate what the best viewpoint to reach them all is; remember that your writing is an expression of your viewpoint, and express it as such. Express your viewpoint as if you were talking to a group of friends: clear, to the point, and perhaps a dash of humor.
Aesthetics speak a thousand words.
The appearance of a site frames the content contained within, setting the tone for the reader. If your color schemes makes it painful to read, they won't. If your paragraphs blend together and your punctuation is rare, they won't. Aesthetics are reflected unconsciously in the mind of the reader, directly affecting their interpretations and feelings.
Passion and eloquence garner respect.
There's nothing more boring than a long-winded essay on a topic that the author can't seem to find inspiration to write about. Keep your words focused, on topics you personally care about; whether they agree or not, your readers will thank you.
Relationships are built on honesty.
Many forget that the Internet isn't a faceless crowd, it's a crowd of invisible faces. Each reader will remember you; perhaps not by words, but they will take away some small thing. Your writing has a direct effect upon anyone who listens, and some will remember you. These days, the world is a very small place; you may find yourself discussing what you've written face-to-face someday.
Links: Dialectic describes how blogging changed her writing. Good stuff. DPS talks about becoming a better writer. A Klog Apart talks about how blogging is about the content, not the presentation. Rands explains several points in favor of weblogs.

Restaurants in Hobart are many and varied! Start your day with hipster cafes that serve great coffee and an amazing smashed avocado (did you know that Tasmania has an avocado farm?). Bakeries are also a favourite staple for many locals, so grab a coffee and a freshly baked pastry and either eat in, or head down to the waterfront for some people watching while you munch.
Breakfast and Lunch
Some of our staff's favourite breakfast spots include:
Small Fry; an uber personal experience with the main seating surrounding the cafe's chef, which feels a little like you've been invited inside his home. If you're up early between Monday and Friday, you might get a taste of their very popular doughnuts, or stop in for breakfast and a coffee from 7.30 am. The team open from 8.30 am on weekends serving coffee and sweets.
Pigeon Hole Cafe; this Hobart institution is a popular breakfast spot in suburban West Hobart, only a short walk outside the CBD. Run by the owners of a nearby farm, it obviously serves locally grown, seasonal produce alongside some great coffee.
Machine Laundry Café; located in Salamanca Square and serving some fantastic vegetarian (although not exclusively) breakfast and lunch fare. Tucked in the back corner of Salamanca Square near the oversized chess board, you'd be forgiven for not noticing the place, except for the hum of a popular breakfast spot and people milling about having a great time with friends.
Born in Brunswick; bustling North Hobart hosts many a great breakfast spot, not least of all, Born in Brunswick. Open Tuesday to Sunday, this cafe serves an all day breakfast menu and some great lunch options that centre around sustainable and locally sourced product.
Dinner can range from a casual bite in mid-town, tapas in North Hobart (NoHo to the locals), a fresh seafood extravaganza or a seven course degustation fit for even the fussiest food critic. Tasmania is a chef's playground, with several high profile chefs holidaying here ignognito. Here is a small selection of some of Hobart's popular dinner spots:
Faro; the newest addition to the Mona experience serves European inspired bar. You'll want to embrace the share plate philosophy as there's so much to choose from and indulge in the in house art at the same time. An experience to remember!
The Glass House; located in a modern, floating glass and concrete box on Hobart's waterfront at Sullivan's Cove, this restaurant has views to die for! The team serve fantastic cocktails and fresh, seasonal dishes with an international influence.
Bar Wa Izakaya; a favourite for several of our team, this casual Japanese Gastro-pub is a unique, social dining experience located in Noho and also great to stop in for a drink or two at one of their two bars. The kitchen focusses on creating shareable Japanese delicacies using local, fresh ingredients.
Templo; a trendy, neighbourhood restaurant with room for around 20 diners, this little gem serves lunch Saturday - Monday and has two dinner sittings from Thursday to Monday. The menu is ever changing, uber seasonal and can be paired with a unique selection of wines. You can book up to 45 days in advance and it is highly recommended you do so to avoid disappointment!
Pearl + Co.; Located on Victoria Dock, this waterfront bar and restaurant serves some of the freshest Tasmanian seafood and a generously appointed bar. Try freshly shucked oysters, local wild fish ceviche, seafood pasta and locally caught fish and squid while watching the waterfront world go by!

Walker Auto & Truck is a third-generation family-owned and operated parts supplier, founded by Harry Walker Jr. in 1985. We believe in doing business differently – with better parts and the most knowledgeable staff in the industry. In 2009, Walker Auto & Truck became NAPA affiliated and has since expanded to better serve central and eastern North Carolina. The goal since 1985, and still today, is to treat customers and employees like family and be the best parts team in the region.
The Walker Way | History | Community Impact

Our partnership with NAPA allows us to provide our customers with the most trusted name in the industry. It doesn't stop there. Walker independence allows us to still source outside of the NAPA catalog to provide the parts professional whatever they are after – whether that's MOPAR, Axalta Paint, ACDelco or Motorcraft.
Our goal is to be the #1 source for the professional or DIY automotive, truck and marine technician. How we do that? Hire the best folks in the industry. Our team is built of parts professionals that strive every day to provide the best service and expertise possible to our customer.
Throughout Walker Auto & Truck's history, the goal has always been to build the best company possible to provide industry-leading service to our customers, make a positive difference in the communities we impact and to build a company that makes our employees proud.
It is because of these ideals, loyal and new customers, and a daily passion for what we do, that we have continued to grow to become one of the largest independently-owned parts suppliers in the nation.
1960: Harry Walker Jr. joins Barnes Motor & Parts Company.

2018: Walker acquires Barnes Motor & Parts Co. Lee Walker becomes President. 54 total locations.
With stores across central and eastern North Carolina, in cities and towns large and small, it's important for Walker to make a positive impact on the communities we serve. As a family, we believe in helping one another through good and bad times, providing a safe, healthy and productive work environment, and having a little fun along the way.
One of the ways we do that is giving back to the community. Currently, we support the Boys & Girls Club of the Coastal Plain through their Billfish Classic in Beaufort, N.C. and The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, which has donated close to $5 million to support eastern N.C. We also support town chambers and smaller fundraisers in our store's communities.

Every Friday morning at 8am Pacific we have a weekly accountants, Bookkeepers, and Business Owners (ABBO) hangout on Google Plus. We discuss accounting technology applications and of course, now that QuickBooks 2015 is here, this has been one of the topics for the past two weeks. The very first question that came up was how to get rid of the shading on invoices. This shading now appears by default on alternating rows on the invoice form. We checked what seemed like the obvious place for this option – in the invoice template customization area. No matter how hard we looked, we could not find the answer to how to get rid of the shading on invoices in QuickBooks 2015.
I offered an alternative solution to the problem by putting something on the invoice to distract people from the shading. I also tried downloading and using a non-standard invoice template:
As you can see this is not an effective solution for getting rid of the shading on invoices in QuickBooks 2015! Fortunately I have many friends around the world on the internet who help me and look out for me. One of them lives practically in my own backyard. His name is James Cliame and he e-mailed the solution to me after the second of two hangouts in which we struggled to fund where the option was to change this. We figured it had to be there, but where? Could intuit have simply stuck us with this formatting on all invoices and no option for how to get rid of the shading?
I'll be honest, I could just post a screen shot and be done, but seriously what fun would that be? Watch the video to find out how to get rid of the shading on invoices in QuickBooks 2015.

"Do I need a Testosterone Booster?" If so, which one's best?
Testosterone is an integral part of what it is to be a Man, and if you're low in testosterone it can be debilitating to your self confidence as well as your body.
We were asked in the store recently about testosterone booster supplements, so we thought we'd go further in depth about this popular category of supplements.
How do you know if you have low testosterone levels?
Some symptoms include: Low sex drive, Difficulty with maintaining an erection, Low semen volume, Hair Loss, Fatigue, Loss of Muscle Mass, Decreased Bone mass and Mood Changes.
If you recognise a few of these symptoms, remember that it gets much more common as you age. Once you reach the age of 60 it becomes somewhat unavoidable without supplementation or medication. (In-fact recent research has shown that 1 in 4 of Men over 30 have clinically Low Testosterone, often without physical symptoms).
If you're below the age of 30, you're less likely to have low levels, but strenuous exercise and extended periods of stress of any kind can cause a large decrease in your natural testosterone reserves at any age.
In this case, it doesn't hurt to keep your natural test levels maxed out with some select supplements.
That's why we've gathered a list of the best supplements that can actively improve test levels.
1) Zinc is an essential mineral involved in many chemical processes within the body.
Higher Zinc intake has been closely associated with higher testosterone levels by one study which concluded that
"Zinc may play an important role in modulating serum testosterone levels in normal men."
They also found that restricting zinc intake from foods lowered testosterone levels in healthy men. As expected, Zinc supplements in Zinc deficient men also increased testosterone levels.
Another study measured the effects of Zinc on infertile men trying for a baby with either low or normal testosterone levels.
The researchers found significant benefits for those with low T levels, including increased testosterone and sperm count. However, they found no additional benefit for men with normal levels, suggesting that Zinc helps with Test-Deficiency related infertility, whereas the second groups infertility was most likely caused by other factors.
After the test-deficient group consumed Zinc Supplements;
"Nine (out of 22) wives became pregnant immediately after the trial, six within 3 months and three within 2 months of a second trial."
Yet another study (2) on Zinc Supplementation measured an improvement in stress and exhaustion related testosterone level reduction in Professional Wrestlers after an intense 4-week high intensity training Boot-Camp.
They concluded that
"physiological doses of zinc administration may benefit performance."
Zinc therefore is a great choice for any Male, athlete or not. Especially for Professional Athletes and men over 35.
The effects of Zinc is largely why the supplement "ZMA" has become so popular. Many chose to get their Zinc intake from ZMA as the added Magnesium boosts metabolism & muscle health. It also is proven to help manage sleep and promote deep sleep. B6 has some research backing it to claim that it may boost energy.
We stock both Peak Supps Zinc Supplements and Peak Supps ZMA Capsules at a competitive UK Price with Free Delivery.
2) D-Aspartic Acid
D-Aspartic Acid has been the subject of multiple studies, and it seems to have very results to Zinc, but works through a different bodily system. It is formed naturally in the Pituitary Gland and testes, and aids the creation and regulation of testosterone.
Research has shown that D-Aspartic acid supplementation increases testosterone production as well as how efficiently it is transported through the blood stream.
The main benefit (or problem depending on how you view it) of D-Aspartic Acid is it's incredible power to improve sperm count in men with lower than average sperm production. One study found that 90 days of supplementation doubled sperm-count. (4)
Much like Zinc, D-Aspartic acid may be most beneficial in people with low T-count levels or low sperm count.
We stock D-Aspartic Acid in Pure Powder form at Peak Supps.
3. Vitamin D
We're surprised that Vitamin D has strong effects on testosterone, even after writing a whole other blog on it's positive effects.
Vitamin D is a vitamin produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight... but not many know that it functions as a steroid hormone in the body.
In Britain, especially in the winter months, we get very little exposure to sunlight, resulting in deficient levels of Vitamin D (6).
In a year-long study, 65 men were split into 2 groups. Half of them took 3,300 IU (international units) of vitamin D every day. The supplemented group's vitamin D levels doubled and their testosterone levels increased by around 20% (9). Could this show a causal link between Vitamin D and Testosterone?
We currently have a sale on Peak Supps Vitamin D Capsules from only £1.89 with Free UK Delivery.
4. Alpha Test Boost
Peak Supps Alpha Test Boost was created with Mens optimum health in mind...
Our Alpha Test Booster blend is a potent blend of 6 ingredients.
- Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6 (The ingredients for ZMA).

The most horrible part of this economic slowdown, for me at least, is that Rock Concerts have virtually dried up – especially the free ones. I suppose sponsors have decided they have better uses for their ad budgets.

There was some amazing riff-making in the air as I lumbered my T-Bird into the Palace Grounds. Clean, hard bass, a nasty drum and soaring lead riffs. This must be a recording, I thought. No
But I had forgotten about Today's Special - my favorite
Shikados came on next, with a guy on lead who was one of the guitar instructors at the Unwind Centre – I used to see him around when I went there (the bearded fellow with the snazzy beret in the above pic). When they started playing, couldn't believe what I heard…Was it? Yes it was! They were playing variations on a standard Jazz riff. And right after that they played a fairly decent take on Muddy Water's 'Hoochie-Coochie Man'. Amazing! Jazz and traditional Blues at a
Is this a sign of changing times? Are we about to witness a return to real music instead of the ghastly racket that passes for music at most local concerts? Fat chance. The next couple of bands were the usual metallic stuff, and it was hot, and dry and the sun was blazing, and the drinks were warm and overpriced, and they announced a two hours break, so I left. Whose idea was it to have that break? Too long to hang around, esp. with the heat and nothing else to do, and to short to go home and come back.
Anyway, I was back the next day – in the second half. Musically, it wasn't anything much. The usual metal stuff. But it started raining – a welcome break from the heat wave we've been having, and people yelled and played about in the rain, and there were fireworks, and the flame throwers on stage made interesting fireballs and the lighting was exceptionally good for local concerts…so a fun time was had by all.
It was especially nice to see the beautiful

Micro-battle of the day
When Mitchell Johnson met Graeme Smith in 2009, the result was a broken hand. The Australian left-armer did not get a chance to square off against Smith in the first ODI at Centurion and although Johnson said he did not mind missing out then, he relished it at St George's Park. Smith looked a more fluent player than he has all series, which made the encounter even more challenging. He started tentatively but built confidence as his innings went on and when Johnson got in the way of him completing his 29th run, Smith had a few words and even wagged his finger. Two balls later, Johnson had the opportunity to run Smith out after the former South Africa captain was late off the blocks. The throw was horribly wayward and Smith had enough time to make his ground.
Injury of the day
Shane Watson's hip injury had healed sufficiently by the day before this match and Michael Clarke was confident that he would make a return. The importance of ensuring he is fit for the Test series has been on Australia's mind but they were also keen to get him back in the starting XI and to get him playing as an all-rounder again, after he did not bowl in the Champions League for New South Wales. He bowled three overs and four balls without incident but with the fifth ball dragged his arm through his follow through and pulled up, clutching his left side. He had to leave the field and looked in severe pain as he limped off. Some quick treatment ensured he came out to bat lower down the order which was a positive sign for his future participation.
Denial of the day
It is not often the umpire has a milestone to reach but Shaun George, standing in his first ODI, did. When Xavier Doherty appealed for lbw against David Miller in his last over and George lifted the finger, he had given his first international dismissal. And then, it turned out that he hadn't. Miller asked for the decision to be reviewed and HotSpot showed that he got an inside edge, albeit a faint one. The small white mark on the game's most expensive technology meant that George had to u-turn on his pronouncement and Miller was allowed to bat on. He ended up reaching his highest ODI score with a quick half-century.
Six of the day
With South Africa in a brutal mood, the ball was getting comfortable being on the other side of the rope. However, it probably didn't expect to be launched onto the roof of the President's suite pavilion. Cummins got a lesson in the problems with bowling length on a flat pitch when JP Duminy launched him over his head and onto the tin roof. The media box is just below that and members of the press could hear the ball rolling along and saw it drop off the other side.
Captain's calamity of the day
The South African leadership appears a poisoned chalice and it seems that when one of the captain's gets something, another one cannot. It was Hashim Amla's day to have a hard time and the pain started when he was out for a duck off the first ball of the innings. But things got much worse when Amla dropped a sitter while fielding at mid-on. David Warner fed a slower ball straight to him and Amla had his fingers around it before the ball spilt out of his hands. Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who had bowled well up to that point and already had a wicket to his name, was distressed at not being able to add a second but had to bite his tongue to avoid cursing his captain.
Song of the day
Port Elizabeth's steel band makes it one of the most unique venues to watch cricket. Every season, they seem to have an adaptation of a modern song. This time it was Pitbull's Give me Everything, which was played a good few times. They also had their usual hits which include the national anthem, the traditional tune She'll be coming down the mountain and South African favourite Shosholoza. But on Sunday, they had a special song to play. It was Happy Birthday, which they belted out for Brad Haddin in celebration of his 34th year. They followed it up with For he's a jolly good fellow, which Haddin must have heard, but did not acknowledge.

Outputs a list of sequential integers.
ISEQ from to (ISEQ from to increment)
ISEQ outputs a list of the integers from FROM to TO, inclusive. If an increment is given as an optional third input, the integers are created using the given increment; if no increment is given, the increment is 1 if FROM is less than TO, or -1 if FROM is greater than TO. Note that if the increment is not 1 or -1, the TO value may not be part of the list; for example, the output of (ISEQ 1 5 3) would not contain the value 5, because the next value to add would have been 6 instead of 5.

The energy and mining trade union IG BCE said it is ready to negotiate with the government on the future of the most-polluting coal-fired power plants, an effort to prevent them from closing until near the middle of the century. IG BCE, representing about 650,000 workers in mining, power and chemicals, is ready to take up an offer to join 'roundtable' talks on the coal plants. The government is considering phasing out lignite from 2030 and hard coal from 2040. The cabinet is drawing up in 2016 a climate program for 2050. Ministers have sought talks with the union while hinting that a phase-out of coal-fired generation is part of their program. IG BCE announced that it won't support a 'unilateral exit' from lignite generation.

21 February 2008
Dear Lorne,
With the show is finally able to come back in fool force while it's still primate season, wouldn't it be great to come out with new guns ablaze? Talk of the dispiriting frustration of sitting on the sidelines underscores my feelings for the last three decades. I've seen some cracks, but have yet to crack the scene. Which is worse, mildly irritating or irritatingly mild?
Isn't it more fun to whip a live horse which is able to kick back? Then the next volley could be in relation to the counterattack. By the time this gets to the mail room, I will be back in New York, but by the time you read this, I may be gone again. Wherever I may be, I can be there within a day or so. Your objective of four consecutive shows will be a great way to put your talent to the test. There is much more staff than before. Pushing the limits will help the cream rise to the top.
While the recent labor discord has been a general downer, have the unpaid wages resulted in a more flexible budget to help make up for lost time? The sooner you could get me on board, the sooner our energy could be in stink. Even if we don't hit the bulls eye, we can still blow chunks off the target. I can keep my mouth shut and stay out of the way. If asked, I could outline possible approaches without divulging specific concept or content. If it sounds substantial enough, we can go from there. If nothing rocks, no talk. There are already some angles ready to roll, but even the most daring driver will test the track before going full throttle.
While it's great to get people talking, it can be even better to get some to shut up. You needn't feel like there's an emergency in order to break open the glass case I'm in. Getting in tune with the resources you have would have a higher likelihood of enhancing rather than detracting from productivity. Feeling pushed into a frontal approach could be a signal for tactical revision.
Scrambling hard over high heat, makes you nimble on your feet.
Rise and shine,

Electrocardiographic Interpretation is not, in the stricter sense, a textbook of electrocardiography, as the title might suggest, but rather a collection of examples of electrocardiograms which might well be encountered by a practicing cardiologist. The volume includes 60 tracings, with interpretation by three experienced electrocardiographers. The format is interesting. The electrocardiogram is presented, followed by the interpretation of each discussant. Clinical and laboratory data are then given and the comments of the discussants after this information is available are recorded. In many cases there is appropriate editorial comment to add further clarification.

Australians' willingness to accept immigrants and asylum seekers is heavily influenced by the neighbourhoods they live in, a University of Queensland researcher has found.
Social scientist Dr Timothy Gravelle analysed the effects of changing immigrant concentration in neighbourhoods and attitudes toward immigration and asylum policy.
"The demographic composition of a person's neighbourhood and the rate of change in immigrant concentration are crucial aspects in a person's political decision-making," Dr Gravelle said.
"Migration is seen as a crisis across the western world, with the issue of economic migrants provoking anxieties and perceptions of economic and cultural threats among sections of the native-born population in Australia."
The UQ Institute for Social Science Research's Dr Gravelle drew on data from the Australian Election Study (2010-2016) and local-level census data for his research.
"I sought to explain Australians' attitudes toward immigration and asylum policy by concentrating on the roles of party identification, local demographic context and the interplay between those two factors," he said.
"The rise of anti-immigration sentiment in Australia in recent years, compounded with a high rate of net migration, is making immigration a particularly politically charged issue."
"Whether Australians express 'open' or 'closed' attitudes toward immigration and asylum-seekers is shaped by an individual's local environment interacting with their political beliefs," Dr Gravelle said.
The research showed Coalition supporters were more 'closed' in their attitudes toward migrants and Greens supporters were more 'open', regardless of where they lived.
Labor supporters' views become more 'open' in areas with more migrants.
At the same time, all segments of the Australian electorate become more closed in their attitudes toward migrants when their neighbourhoods are undergoing demographic change, with more migrants moving in.
"The significance of this research lies in how it shows that all segments of the Australian electorate become more closed in their attitudes toward migrants when their neighbourhoods undergo demographic change and more migrants move in," Dr Gravelle said.
The research is published in Social Science Research (DoI 10.1016/j.ssresearch.2019.03.005).

From an average to the best English language teacher in your school
How to become the best English language teacher for your students in 4 easy steps
Boost your confidence and knowledge about English language and learn about potential mistakes your students are facing when studying English. Become a mentor who guides and motivates to continuous learning. Help your students achieve their goals and realise their potential, here are 4 steps how to become an expert in teaching English as a second language.
- Motivate your students
Some use grades and marks or ever rewards to motivate their learners but these are very rarely effective as every student is rather short-sighted and studies quite infrequently. Shaping intrinsic motivation by inspiring and discovering passion and building enthusiasm towards learning English is what you have to aim for. Your creativity plays an important role in helping your students achieve that.
PRAISE, PRAISE…, PRAISE… children, teenagers and adults. Applauding directly affects our beliefs about successes or failures. It leads to increased persistence, self-evaluation and internal motivation it also leads to increased learning and higher achievement.
Struggling to motivate your students? Read more:
- Study the learning processes
When planning a lesson and setting the objectives make sure you activate as many information processing processes as our cognitive system has.
Triggering your students' senses, emotions, body, social processes, associative processes improves their concertation, involvement in a lesson and willingness to learn. Your creativity is crucial to helping you create an amazing lessons that mixes a variety of learning methods. Forget about a coursebook or syllabus, think outside the box and prepare a lessons that even you'd enjoy.
- Become an expert in your field
Being a passionate English teacher will naturally bring indescribable pleasure from sharing your knowledge with learners, you are much easier to engage with plus your enthusiasm will encourage your students to work even more. Become interested in the language, in the nuances of tenses or vocabulary; show your interest in the culture and customs of an English speaking country, when doing so will always be a more interesting source of knowledge and admiration amongst your learners.
Be demanding, but also patient, friendly and kind
The more you demand the more your students learn, however don't set the expectations too high as making things more difficult is unhelpful and discouraging.
A good EFL teacher should demonstrate a lot of patience in explaining various complexities of English language, whether it's a grammar structure or pronunciation mistake. If you hear the same mistake yet again, do not get annoyed, bite your tongue and explain why it's an error and keep in mind that everyone learns at a slightly different pace and some issues have to be explained even several times.
Be happy and smile as that always guarantees a fantastic atmosphere during a lesson.
Hope that helps 😉
