Domes continues its expansion in season 2023 and enriches their portfolio with the following additions:
This April we announce the opening of our second adults only Noruz property, Domes Noruz Kassandra, located on the stunning Kassandra Peninsula of Halkidiki, Greece. With 182 keys, including both rooms and bungalows, this new ‘’beach club with rooms’’ concept has the potential of becoming a standout destination. Our vision to expand the Noruz concept to reputable party destinations has come to fruition, and are rightly thrilled as this new addition is located in their homeland.
Noruz caters to those tuned in to the global day-life and nightlife scene. Here, one can indulge in the finer things in life in a glamorous seaside setting, the perfect home base for exploring the legendary clubbing of Halkidiki, Greece’s alternative to cosmopolitan cultural hotspots such as Mykonos and Ibiza.
The scene here is straight fire in the downtime between Coachella and Burning Man. Noruz exudes a vibe of sophisticated nonchalance, striking the perfect balance between class and celebrity. Sunkissed and chill music, delectable cuisine, expertly crafted cocktails, established lounge sessions, and a fusion of art and fashion all contribute to a 24/7 pre-clubbing celebratory aesthetic. All in all, Noruz delivers the perfect equilibrium between chill events by day near an acclaimed party scene of long nights stretching into the morning.
Domes Noruz Mykonos, expected to open in July 2023, is a 38-key hotel in Agios Stefanos, just 10 minutes away from the legendary Chora (Mykonos Center). The white-washed and sophisticated design of the hotel, inspired by the unique architecture of the Cycladic Island, is the brainchild of Urban Soul Project, renowned architects who have created an exclusive Mykonian Oasis for guests. The heart of the hotel beats around a main pool with vibrant music and breathtaking sea views and sunsets, making it the perfect hub to explore the world-famous party and culinary offerings of Mykonos.
Step into a world where the sultry energy of Mykonos meets Domes’ sophistication. Noruz has finally arrived in the motherland. As you enter our exclusive gated community, immerse yourself in a Mykonian courtyard pulsing with amazing beats. Surrounded by like-minded individuals, you’ll feel as though you’ve entered a bohemian dream.
Encounter VIP faces you recognize from the global festival and clubbing circuit, all gathered in the perfect Mykonos neighborhood for a chill yet vibrant experience. Meander down quaint Mediterranean village pathways, surrounded by lush foliage, breathtaking Aegean views, and attention to detail at every turn. Noruz embodies the essence of living life to the fullest, where the allure of sexiness blends with a chill ambiance, and class takes precedence over excess and celeb status. So come vibe with us.
Opening its doors later in the year as Domes White Coast Milos, Domes is to operate the luxury 30-suite hotel, currently branded as Small Luxury Hotels of the World, located in a waterfront nature preserve on the island’s northern coast. Each suite of this adults-only property boasts its own private-infinity pool, uninterrupted sea and sunset views over the Myrtoan Sea, and access to three sandy beaches just a few steps away. Architecturally inspired by the destination’s white rock formations, Domes White Coast Milos encapsulates a calm haven with luxurious simplicity, subtle interiors and neutral tones, enabling guests to disconnect and soak up the surrounding natural environment.
Indulge in a Seafront heaven, where “Time Stops and Life Begins”
Named after the spectacular seaside white rock formations that are part of the property, our adults only hotel is located on a privately owned waterfront nature preserve. Evoking a sense of tranquility and inner balance the property overlooks the sunset and shares the same coastline and stunning rock formations as the famous Sarakiniko beach. The architecture inspires a sense of luxurious simplicity that is further enhanced by private pools in every suite
Facing west, White Coast suites offers a front row seat to the sunset. As the sky turns a million different colors, whether you enjoy the view from your private balcony and pool or while sipping a cocktail by the bar, this is the perfect chance to relax, unwind and become one with nature.

Related to the IDF'16 topic, I also want to point out that we changed our summary:
Library targeting Intel Architecture (x86) for small dense and sparse matrix multiplications as well as small convolutions.
The "small convolutions" may help with emerged workloads such as deep learning and more specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The latter are pushing the limits of today's hardware, and one of the expensive kernels is a small convolution with certain kernel sizes (3, 5, or 7) such that calculations in the frequency space are not the most efficient method when compared with direct convolutions. LIBXSMM's current support for convolutions aims for an easy to use invocation of small (direct) convolutions, which are intended for CNN training and classification.


I don’t understand why the PDP gentiles rage and their nations utter folly on an issue that is not only clear and concise but well provided for in the extant laws that govern and guard electoral conducts in Nigeria.
Soon after the gubernatorial elections held on March 9 and after election in scores of states were declared inconclusive, the PDP went hysterical about inconclusive elections. To them, declaring elections inconclusive is a new way the APC planned to employ to rob them of victory. They wondered why elections should be declared inconclusive despite clear specifications in the Electoral Law that justifies such declaration and as has become their new fad, they threatened, cajoled and cried in ways that suggest clear mischief in their attitude to issues since they lost post power in 2015. As has been the fad in recent times, PDP members of the National Assembly went to the chambers of the National Assembly to stomp, threaten and abuse Buhari as they have found so pleasurable doing in recent times. They stopped at levying declaration of elections inconclusive a cardinal sin and puffed so much empty airs in their attempt to befuddle their followers over an issue that is as cadent as the morning star. They devoted that session to the ventilation of their frustrations at the dwindling fortunes of their party especially the fatal crash of their hallucination about returning to the same power they were ignominiously shoved aside from just four years ago. Who is better placed to receive their impotent rage than Buhari who has become a nemesis for PDP?
But should inconclusive elections draw such noisome and empty furore as the PDP and their sympathizers are trying to weave around such innocuous issue? Is inconclusive election such a difficult term for anybody to grasp? Is declaring an election inconclusive even with the overwhelming evidences supporting such decision so strange to the pretenders in PDP who are ruled by a clear desire to continue cheating the system for their selfish benefits as they did in 16 whole years? I don’t understand why the PDP gentiles rage and their nations utter folly on an issue that is not only clear and concise but well provided for in the extant laws that govern and guard electoral conducts in Nigeria.
Is it true, as the PDP mandarins posit, that there were no inconclusive elections during their era? The answer is no. In 2011, the election that brought RochasOkorocha in as Governor of Imo State when he defeated IkediOhakim was declared inconclusive and was resolved through a supplementary election. Also in 2015, the re-election of the same Okorocha was declared inconclusive even when he was leading his main challenger by a whopping 78,000 votes. It took a supplementary election to resolve this. Also let us not forget that the election between Senator Chris Ngige and late Dr. Dora Akunyili for an Anambra senatorial seat was resolved through a supplementary election as it was initially declared inconclusive. These are few examples that happened during the PDP era so why will they seek to mischievously present Nigerians with the false claim that supplementary elections were new inventions in the lexicon of Nigerian electoral contest because they are so desirous of claiming unmerited victories in election? Why will PDP seek to deliberately misinform and mislead Nigerians because it has its eyes set on underserved victories? Why is PDP playing the deviant character in a play they scripted?
But what really is supplementary election? It is a makeup election to a main election where the number of voters who were prevented by a combination of factors outstrips the margin between the two leading candidates. Simply put, where the margin separating the first and second or even other opponents in an election falls far below the number of voters who couldn’t vote on election day due to certain redeemable constraints, the election is declared inconclusive and plans put in place to organize a supplementary election where the disenfranchised voters will vote and decide who wins between the combatants. It is as simple as that. To illustrate it better, where for instance Candidate A scores 500 votes and Candidate B scores 400 votes and Candidate C scores 300 votes and there still are 400 voters that couldn’t cast their votes on election because they were prevented from doing so, the election would be declared inconclusive and a supplementary election is needed to decide who wins among the three candidates because the 400 voters that couldn’t vote on election day can swing victory to any of the three candidates.
Supplementary election is provided for in the electoral law. It is supported by natural justice. There should be no dust raised about it. The fact that more elections are in recent times, being declared inconclusive signifies a noticeable desire on INEC to conduct free and fair elections where every vote counts contrary to the mischievous slant the PDP is trying to give an otherwise credible process to ensure more credible elections. The PDP was wrong to say there were no inconclusive elections during its times. As I have proved above, there were but it should be noted that in the few cases that happened during the PDP era, the evidence of a strong opponent snatching victory from PDP necessitated such plot. So we agree that it wasn’t frequent during the PDP years because there were little evidences of free and credible election in the PDP years. Why inconclusive elections were not too common in the PDP era was simply because the electoral process then was a mish mash of concocted jeremiad that favoured PDP members. Then, there were no election that could near the definition of free and fair. Election figures were merely allotted as it pleases the lords of the PDP and often these were done weeks before the election day which merely served as date for announcement of already allotted figures. How can there be inconclusive elections in such sordid scenario? We are very much aware of the many malfeasances PDP passed as elections during their 16 regrettable years as to grant them the license to mislead and obfuscate the beauty of inconclusive elections because they do not grant them their prodigal luxury of walking away with unmerited electoral victories. We know of how PDP would simply append 1 in front of their votes in elections to cart away doubtful victories as the subjected the electoral process to serial abuse and mutilations while they presided over our affairs. So should we seek a return to that old jaded order just because PDP raises questionable outcries against inconclusive elections?
So whatever be the argument of the PDPcrybabies (of course they don’t have any coherent argument), inconclusive election shows keen contest for votes. It shows an electoral system that is eager to mend from the putrid past. It shows an open contest between contending forces and not whimsical determination of electoral fortunes by compromised fronts of a decayed state. Inconclusive election shows that elections are no more déjà vu for members of a ruling party. It shows that everyone has to sweat for the votes he or she gets in every election. It shows that the days of writing electoral results as it suits the fancies of the ruling party is gone. Most importantly, inconclusive election shows the desire of the electoral umpire to ensure that every vote counts. It shows the disposition of the electoral umpire to do right to every contestant. It shows the inclination to conduct credible elections that will stand the test of time. It is understandable why it is unpopular with those used to having their ways with elections through foul and reprehensible means but it goes deep in the heart of the electoral system to attend to its desire for free and fair election where no one is shortchanged. The syndicated wailing of PDP crybabies who were yesterday’s lords of the manors over inconclusive elections should be discountenanced for what it is; a mischievous rant of displaced slave masters for the rotten fruits of electoral fraud they were used to.

This week, more than a year later, she spent 2-1/2 days testifying and being cross-examined, sometimes tearfully, says the Christian Science Monitor. The prospect of those ordeals gives a sense of why many survivors of sexual crimes never come forward. The girl, now 16, has left school and moved away from the area with her family because of the “ugliness” of some of the responses to her story, an advocate says.

About Glass Coffee Tables
They once seated Louis XVI and Victorian British kings and queens; now you can carry on the royal tradition with a glass coffee table of your own. You can find one in a long, low, rectangular design, shaped just like coffee tables decorating the palaces of British royalty in centuries past. These tables make great additions to larger living spaces such as dining rooms, porches, and living rooms. Following early customs, you can decorate your table with books, such as large illustrated ones, magazines, and of course, coffee. For a smaller space, consider a round glass coffee table. The smaller size and round shape date back to imperial Japan. Japanese emperors needed their coffee in the morning; small tables fit nicely outside in their small gardens. On eBay, you can look for a new or used glass coffee table to gather your friends around. Here you can search for all kinds of tables, including round and rectangular. You can browse by color too, such as black, and look for a table with a sleek, contemporary design or vintage look. After selecting, simply order and choose a convenient shipping method.

I Got Trapped In My Airbnb
Quick thinking helped me break out.
As I sometimes do, I decided — on a whim — to go on a writing retreat this holiday weekend. The Airbnb home that I rented is located in the Virginia countryside, about an hour away from my home.
The owner told me, early-on, that she would be out of town. All the better, I thought. No one would distract me from my writing.

Many men just don’t enjoy reading, and I can understand. However, this Bible helps make a daily devotional time quick and enjoyable. Alongside your favorite scriptures are words of instruction and encouragement for becoming the father God wants you to be. The New Century Version translation makes things clear and straightforward so that hard language isn’t a barrier. Open it to any page and you’ll likely find notes on Walking in Authority, Passing it On, Dads in the Bible, Building your Children, and specific Insights. It comes complete with a blank notes section in the back, an exhaustive Questions and Answers section, a lengthy Topical Index, and a section called God’s Word On… that helps you to find just the right verse to fit any situation.
I really have enjoyed using this bible as a daily read because of the additional notes and sections that make real-life application so much more accessible. Sections within the scriptures are clearly outlined with headings and the NCV is extremely easy to read and each book of the Bible begins with an introduction that ties the previous book with a summary of the one you’re about to read.
This could definitely be one of the best Bible versions that I’ve ever used. I’m sure you’ll think so too.

Brian Tome writes a wonderfully assertive book about the freedom found in surrendering ourselves to the will of God. Tome, in his humorous and somewhat sarcastic tone, spells out a plan for all of us to experience the true freedom that is only found by making ourselves “slaves” to the intentions that God has for us. Sounds oxymoronic, doesn’t it?
This book is for anyone who is struggling to overcome the everyday stumbling blocks to living your life to the fullest potential that God has placed within each of us. Freedom starts when we choose to give up on our own personal agendas, remove the squatters of doubt, sin, and incompetence, and rely wholly on the strength and direction of the Holy Spirit.
One of my favorite portion of this book was the discussion of the spiritual realm that is seemingly subtle, but ever present in our human experience. Spiritual warfare is very much real and we must be aware that the spirits around us are working on behalf of the Devil to “steal, kill, and destroy” whatever semblance of freedom we have left, but when we submit to the kingship of Jesus Christ, his spiritual forces fight on our behalf and rebuke the demons of temptation and sin.

To Penetrate or Not to Penetrate...?
That is the anti-ageing question
Getting through the skin barrier is one of the major limiting factors of many cosmetics ingredients and it is not easy to know exactly how much of the active ingredient manages to penetrate the dermal barrier.
Most antiaging formulators of skin care products are exploring nano-technological solutions to making smaller molecules that can penetrate the stratum corneum, the outer most layer of the skin. Alternatively, other laboratories believe that the best method of restoring the youthful appearance of the skin lies in having the active ingredients ability to work from the skin's surface rather than having to cross the skin's barrier.
There is a chain of amino acids that is produced naturally in the upper layers of the skin. However, the production of the substance decreases with age, as does the body's response to it. It is a messenger molecule that sets off a pathway leading to the generation of extracellular matrix proteins such as elastin, fibronectin and collagen leading to skin renewal.
This polypeptide chain that binds to receptors on the skin's surface which will set off the pathway to skin rejuvenation has been recreated in the lab as one of the newest ingredients in effective skin renewal preparations.
"ARRESTAGE Laboratories Corporation has been perfecting it's anti-ageing serums to include liposomic molecular carriers as well as the top-down mode of action used by the aforementioned polypeptide chain making the ingredients 'exceptionally efficient' in comparison to other anti-ageing active ingredients we have used in our clinics", remarked Dr. Roy Shapiro a frequent lecturer in the Aesthetic Skin Care arena.

Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) is exploring a new off-price concept similar to what other large retailers have done with outlet stores.
The retailer already operates a Bloomingdale's Outlet chain, but Chief Financial Officer Karen Hoguet told investors during a fourth-quarter/end-of-year 2014 earnings call that the new concept would be positioned so it wouldn't compete with that.
"Obviously, in the outlet world we have Bloomingdale's, so there's no reason to create a Macy's (outlet) because we're expanding the Bloomingdale's Outlet concept, so we didn't want competition between the two directly," she said.
The initiative is being led by Macy's (NYSE: M) Chief for Innovation Peter Sasche. Hoguet said it is too soon to give details of the concept, but it could be ready as soon as next year.

The Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies has commended Global Load Control’s (GLC) commitment to job creation amongst the youth of South Africa. Minister Davies was speaking after GLC, a remote global aviation services provider within the Business Process Services sector (BPS), launched its new offices in Cape Town today.
“As a department and government, we commend GLC for its commitment to contributing in creating employment for the youth of this country by opening these new premises in Cape Town. We are also impressed by the company’s training systems, cognitive learning and talent management programmes where GLC sources school and university leavers as potential GLC operators,” said Minister Davies.
The GLC training allows recruits to become qualified aviation professionals with a globally recognised certification. In the last 18 months GLC has created 70 new jobs and up-skilled 70 people into the aviation industry, with most employees falling within the 18-27 age group.
Minister Davies emphasised that this investment in specialised skills development by GLC further supported South Africa as a leading BPS destination and our efforts in moving up the value-chain.
GLC, which has been active in South African since 2004, has over 250 professionals across three continents and provides support to 60 000 flights monthly, departing from 180 airports worldwide thereby ensuring that millions of air passengers arrive at their destinations safely and punctually.
The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti), through InvestSA is providing on-going support to Global Load Control via the One Stop Shop (OSS) that provides strategic guidance, reduced regulatory inefficiencies, and red tape support for all current and future investors in South Africa.

We can't deal with the cuteness
As well as both being ridiculously good looking – seriously, it’s like they were carved by angels – these two aren’t shy of getting all lovey-dovey on social media.
And our Little Mix lady Pez has been at it again after she shared a sweet snap revealing just how much she fancies the Liverpool player over the weekend.
Taking to Instagram, the 25-year-old shared a snap of her footballing beau looking down at his phone, which she captioned: ‘Hi @alexoxchamberlain, I fancy this man lots’.
Well, we kind of gathered that considering these two have been completely and utterly loved up since they got together back in 2016.
As well as supporting each other’s careers – with Alex attending a load of Little Mix gigs, and Pez showing up to her boyfriends’ footie games – both stars regularly take to social media to let us know just how happy they are. Awww.
But after going silent on the web over the past couple of months, Shout Out To My Ex singer Perrie was recently forced to defend her relationship.
As the X Factor star celebrated her 25th last week, fans flocked to Twitter to question why England star Alex was being so quiet.
Because, y’know we were all expecting a seriously gushy Instagram post wishing Pez a Happy Birthday.
Luckily, Alex clearly took the hint and posted an adorable photo of the pair sharing a kiss.
‘Happy birthday to the one and only. 25 today! Love you shweetheart’, the 24-year-old wrote next to the snap.
And it turns out Perrie found all the fuss hilarious, as she shared a gif of Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model meltdown, next to the message: ‘Y’all today because Alex and I forgot to take pictures together last night.’
Everyone satisfied these two are still #couplesgoals? Good stuff!

WELL-KNOWN scientist Karl Kruszelnicki has penned yet another no-nonsense book on science and its effect on our everyday lives.
In his new book, Game of Knowns, he tells us why psychopaths make good kings, why the left side of your face is the most attractive, how a smartphone dumbs down our conversation, and why we drink beer faster when its served in a curved glass.
He also gives us the low-down on comets and shares why dark matter really matters.
Dr Kruszelnicki said Game of Knowns was researched by reading $10,000 worth of scientific literature.
"I find all this interesting information that I think will attract the public," Dr Kruszelnicki said.
"It's really interesting stuff that is also good to share at the local pub."
Last year, Dr Kruszelnicki released 50 Shades of Grey Matter which plays upon the title of popular book, 50 Shades of Grey.

I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, and up to date with shots.
My name is Oreo, and I am a beautiful 16-year-old Maine Coon. The staff does not know if I'm a mix or a pure-bred. I was surrendered to FloridaWild at the end of September. I was with my family for all 11 years of my life ~ my elderly owner tripped over me, and subsequently decided she no longer wanted me. I'm very affectionate, and love to be petted, held and brushed. I was an only cat, but am now being fostered in a home with dogs and cats, and am doing pretty well (though I do sometimes feel a little overwhelmed at being with so many other animals).
I have also been indoor-only my entire life. I have a condition called megacolon, and will require a family that can feed me wet food only, and give me medication to control the condition and prevent me from becoming impacted again. My adoption fee is $100, and I can also be micro-chipped prior to adoption for a reduced fee of $20 and free registration; the cost for this minor procedure is usually $35. If you are interested in meeting me, or would like more information on making me the newest member of your family, please call FloridaWild at 386-734-9899.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

An EMBA alumni start-up that uses data from space to address global issues has secured £100,000 in funding.
Sushma Shankar, Natalia Efremova and David Carter all met when they studied the Oxford Executive MBA at Saïd Business School in 2013. Hailing from Russia, Australia and India, they came up with the idea for their company Deep Planet after participating in GOTO (Global Opportunities and Threats Oxford), Saïd’s action-orientated problem-solving community geared towards addressing some of the most complex issues that face the world today.
Deep Planet, based at Harwell science park in Oxfordshire, uses satellite imagery and machine learning to provide intelligence to businesses and policy makers aiming to solve global issues such as climate change, water and food shortages. It tracks crops through satellites, providing predictions on plant health, soil moisture and fertiliser usage and helps farmers to reduce costs. It monitors water assets, helping the industry to reduce costs and forecast water levels. The business uses remote sensing data to help the oil and gas industry to monitor leaks and methane emissions.
The funding that has been secured will be split between the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Incubation Centre and the Copernicus Incubation Programme, which supports promising businesses using Copernicus satellite data. The tranche of funding will be used to support their first project – monitoring grape crops. It is now also working on pilot schemes for customers in the areas of agriculture, water and gas leak detection.


The Range Rover Evoque is the production model of LRX concept vehicle which was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. Such was the impact of this LRX concept that the British government granted 27 million to the Land Rover to manufacture this compact SUV at its Halewood assembly facility in Liverpool in March 2009. In India, the production started in July 2011 after collaborating with Jaguar under Tata Motors. After Freelander and Discovery, Evoque is the third Range Rover in the Indian market and comes in 2 body variants; 3-door and 5-door. The sporty and attractive SUV specifically targets the youth and the urban audience and stands apart from other vehicles in the over-crowded Indian roads. Land Rover has sold more than 90,000 units just within a year of its launch which proves that it is giving a tough competition to the existing high end SUVs like Audi Q5 and BMW X3 in India. The Evoque, with its many impressive features and looks is quite expensive, and ranges from 45 to 58 lakhs.
One simply cannot resist the smart and sporty looks of Range Rover Evoque. From the front, the raised bonnet with embossed ridges and air vents, dual horizontally placed chrome plated hexagonal mesh front grille with the bold font Range Rover name above it, eye-catching devilish rounded Xenon lighting headlights with sparkling LED placed in stepped headlamp console, crystalline fog lamps placed in grooves on either sides of the wide and muscular front bumper, black matt brushed skid plate, large centrally placed air dam, rain sensing wiper incorporated on the large tinted windscreen and panoramic sunroof with sun-blinds, all add up to the lavish and sporty appearance of this SUV.
The sideline of this car is sleek, aerodynamic and sloping. The head lamps and tail lamps appear sharp and crispy when viewed from side. The sharp blend from bonnet to windshield, muscular shoulders, rising beltline, tapering roof, athletic 18-inch 7-spoked wheel aches with silver finish, rear spoiler, shining paint finish, wheel fenders and power-folding outside rear view mirrors (ORVMs) attract the most when Range Rover Evoque is viewed from the side. From the rear, tinted short and wide windshield, roof mounted sleek LED stoplights, sporty rounded shaped glittering headlamps, trapezoidal rear fog lamps and twin exhausts at either sides and black matt brushed skid plate, add up to the overall exterior looks of this compact SUV. Range Rover Evoque measures 4355 mm (3-door) and 4365 (5-door) mm in length, 1965 mm in width, 1605 mm (3-door) and 1665 mm (5-door) in height with a ground clearance of 215 mm.
The British car manufacturer does not make its cars for common people. It targets a specific audience, people who are rich and want their vehicles to stand apart in the crowd. The luxury of Range Rover Evoque continues when it comes to interiors also. The look and the feel of the expensive cabin are aesthetic and get the latest Terrain Response technology which changes the lighting inside the cabin with change in the terrain. The rich dual tone (black/metal) dashboard, generous use of leather and central console enhance the looks of this SUV. The central console docks a touch-operated crystal clear split-screen LCD presenting “floating” 3D vehicle data display, SatNav and dual view technology (two people can view two different things). The aluminum central console features a phone docking station which stretches the length of the cabin, separating the four seats. The instrument cluster gets attractive and sharp twin dials and are set deep in circular tunnel like housings and are adorned by bright chrome surrounds.
Though the passenger sits low to get the sporty feel, the seats are very comfortable with adequate amount of legroom. Other features include leather upholstered seats, electrically adjustable driver’s seat, audio controls on adjustable steering wheel, integrated cup-holders, ample storage space, parking sensors, reverse parking cameras, air conditioning with dual zone automatic climate control, rear defogger, push button start feature and high quality Meridien sound system.
The Range Rover Evoque gets both diesel as well as petrol powered engines. The 2.2 litre 4 cylinder inline diesel engine named SD4 produces a maximum power of 190 bhp @ 3500 rpm and a max torque of 420 Nm @ 1750 rpm. On the other hand the 2.0 litre Si4 petrol engine produces a maximum power of 240 bhp @ 5500 rpm and a max torque of 340 Nm @ 1750 rpm. Both these engines are mated to a six speed automatic transmission which helps the vehicle improve fuel economy.
|Max Power (BHP/rpm)
|Max Torque (Nm/rpm)
When it comes to handling and safety, Range Rover Evoque is the best in its segment of cars. Some of the handling features include ABS with EBD technology, Electronic stability program, front ventilated and rear disc brakes, high quality suspension system, high profile tires, hill descent control, roll stability control and electric parking brake. The Terrain Response feature adapts the SUV’s engine and transmission to the terrain thereby increasing traction, control and comfort with the aid of four Terrain Response settings: General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Sand. Other safety features include front and rear parking sensors, fog lamps, 8 SRS airbags, and rear defogger.

At Thursday’s Board of Selectmen meeting, Gabriella Circosta-Cohee, a senior civil engineer with the town’s Dept of Public Works returned for a second read on an ordinance to make permanent four new parking spaces to serve as a 15-minute loading zone at the ferry access entrance on Arch Street.
While the ferries only run seasonally from June to September, the loading zone would remain year round.
The spots are already striped and signage indicating 15-minute loading zone signage is in place, but until the Selectmen vote to approve the ordinance there is no enforcement.
Ms Circosta-Cohee previously presented the proposal at the end of February and the Selectmen asked the public for feedback.
“We did receive feedback and it was all negative,” Camillo said.
“Usually I am a fan of the 15-minute spaces, but the questions coming up are that it is a safety issue, and people are worried about opening up (the car) door,” he said.
“Also, we are trying to establish a bike path,” he continued. “I used to do this all the time, going from Old Greenwich to Byram and back, and I’d hug the shoreline. We think this may be one of the spots we could use for a bike lane.”
Camillo said today, beach and camping items are on wheels. “You maybe bring a chair and a cooler. I’ve never seen anything more than that and there are lockers out there for people who go out a lot,” he said.
He said if spaces were needed for offloading, they might be better situated in the parking lot.
Lastly, Camillo said that while overwhelmingly he supports DPW projects, he wasn’t sure the four spaces were needed, and he was not prepared to vote on the ordinance.
Selectwoman Lauren Rabin noted the signage was already in place, and asked if the selectmen were asking to approve it after the fact. She said she’d received feedback that people are parking in the 15-minute spots for hours, and questioning how enforcement would work.
“We have a lot to address as it relates to traffic and the way people drive,” Rabin said. “To add an element for enforcement, I see a concern there.”
Selectwoman Janet Stone McGuigan said she’d seen a large SUV parked there in a way that was partly in the active lane of traffic.
“Just as a general principal, I agree we want traffic calming measures, but I’m not sure parked cars would be the safest way to do that,” she said.
The Selectmen allowed public comment, and Kevin O’Connor, who has lived in the neighborhood almost 60 years, testified strongly against the parking spots.
“Opening up your door into moving traffic,” he said, adding, “If you put trucks in there, you’re going to block the view to the harbor. All these years we’ve gotten into the parking lot across the street and you get on the boat and go. There’s no reason to put anything there. It’s dangerous. It doesn’t help.”
Also, O’Connor said he had seen a car parked in one of the loading spaces for about 10 days, including left overnight in a snow storm, forcing snow plows to plow around it.
“And he didn’t get a ticket,” O’Connor said.
O’Connor said if more parking spaces were needed, the town should create tiered parking in the Island Beach and commuter lot.
“The tier idea is under consideration,” Camillo said. “It would open up more spaces and create more availability.”
O’Connor suggested that people going camping offload for the ferry behind the DPW building.
Ms Circosta-Cohee said that was problematic because those parking spaces need to be reserved for emergency vehicles.
The loading zone is an offshoot of the nearly completed Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) project in the Arch Street corridor that features the addition of Adaptive Signal Control Technology.
While intent of adjusting the lane widths on Arch Street was to make the area safer for pedestrians, O’Connor talked about the impact on drivers and said the result was “a mess.” He said the bump out at the crosswalk from the parking lot to the ferry narrowed the roadway to a single lane in each direction, and drivers are cut off from access to the left turn lane, resulting in traffic backing up.
Jan DeAngelo said she appreciated the crosswalk with its flashing lights, but questioned the bumpout.
“I also think traffic calming is great and making a lane narrower is wonderful, but you don’t have to bring the whole curb to that area. You can just paint a line to make the lane narrower and then you have more space there for bike riders.”
Camillo said, “Speaking for myself I would not like to go forward with this.”
Deputy Chief Kraig Gray, who oversees the Town’s Dept of Parking Services, noted there was a recent statute change in Connecticut clarifying who is responsible when opening a car door.
“Previous to October, there was no statute regarding opening a car door into traffic,” he said. “Now it is the person in the car who is responsible to open it safely.”
As for the offloading zone being used, he said, “If you build it they will come. It appears to be built. It will have to be un-built if you decide not to move forward.”
“It’s there, and from an enforcement perspective, we are going to have to manage it,” Gray added.
Ms Circosta-Cohee the signage is not enforceable until the ordinance is approved.
She said lanes at the crosswalk “choke point” are 13-1/2 feet in each direction, and typical lane width is 11 feet.
“So there is that extra room for bicycles to access the side area,” she said. “It can’t be striped as a bike lane because in Connecticut, in order to be striped as a bike lane you have to have it striped on both sides, and it needs to be five feet on both sides.”
Camillo suggested the Selectmen take a walk in the area and brainstorm ideas with the DPW commissioner and deputy commissioner.
No vote was taken.

The Balkans are not the first place that comes to mind when you think of wine. It’s not even among the top regions where wine is produced. But did you know that three Balkan countries are among top 20 wine-producing countries? That’s right. They are Romania, Greece and Serbia.
Wine was never the most popular alcoholic drink in the Balkans. Rakija and beer have always been a favourite choice of the locals and what makes the situation even worse is that low purchasing power of the market dictates higher consumption of cheaper products.
Yet, three Balkan countries – Romania, Greece and Serbia – are among the top 20 wine-producing countries. Through international fairs, mapping of wine routes and festivals, this region is slowly piquing an interest of wine lovers around the world.
Here are some of the most popular wine festivals in the Balkans;
The Balkans International Wine Competition – Sofia, Bulgaria
This festival which is already in its sixth year was the first of its kind. It showcases regional wines while drawing attention to this interesting region. It hosts world famous wine connoisseurs, who judge wines of different Balkan producers and welcomes wine merchants, journalists and bloggers from some of the strongest markets – USA, UK, Japan, Russia, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.
The Grand Trophy for 2017 was taken by Bulgaria’s Rumelia Wine Cellarand their Mavrud Reserva 2013 red wine. Its indigenous region is Thrace in Bulgaria and its multilevel aroma with nuances of dry leaves, seasoning and resin won the hearts of the jury. The White Wine Trophy also went to Bulgarian winery Edoardo Miroglioand their Elenovo Chardonnay 2015.
The festival mostly showcases Bulgarian wines with appearances of few wineries from other countries, but it is still among top wine festivals in the Balkans.

Tikveski Grozdober, Macedonia
Kavadarci, a small town 100 km away from Skopje, has been a heart of the Macedonian wines for a long time. This region is better known as Tikves and the largest winery in the Southeastern Europe is located here.
The wine tradition that goes all the way back to the ancient times continued with an annual festival that lasts for several days. Beside the wine events, the festival hosts art exhibitions, sport events, music programs and more. The winery has its restaurant, souvenir shops and offers guided tours to visitors.
The wines of Tikves Winery have won numerous awards at international festivals including the Concours Mondial in Brussels, Decanter World Wine Awards, International Wine Challenge,Chardonnay du Monde and others. Some of them are: Vranec Special Selection 2015, Cabernet Franc Special Selection 2016, Alexandria Red 2015, Chardonnay Special Selection 2015.
The less known wineries from the city are Popov and Chokorovi.
Smederevo Autumn has been one of the most important tourism events in the city of Smederevo and one of the oldest in Serbia. It originates from the 1888 and the tradition has been preserved till modern days. Smederevka is one of the leading autochthonous types of grapes from Smederevo’s vineyard. It’s famous for its soft aromas of lime and lemon with mild herbal characteristics.
As one of the biggest wine regions in the country, it is home to five wineries. Smederevka from Janko Cellar Winery is a good representative.
According to legend, Dionysus – the Thracian god of wine – was born in what is now Romania, and Plato declared its vineyards to be the best in the world. Romanians have been making and drinking wine for over 6000 years.
The Wine Festival of Romania, brings together crème de la crème of Romanian wines accompanied by international varieties. In the span of two days, more than 2.500 wine connoisseurs gather along with wine specialists, wine cellar owners, to enjoy the rich selection of wines specially made for them.
You’ll get the opportunity to taste the best of Murfatlar, Jidvei, Cotnari, Vincon, Tohani and best of small production wineries.
If you think you’ll be bored with the surplus amount of Romanian wines – you’d be wrong. The RO-Wine presents over 300 wines from France, Italy, Republic of Moldova, Argentina, Spain or Chile. This easily makes it one of the best wine festivals in the Balkans.

Darë Vegan Cheese was brought to conception in the thick of the Asheville food scene by owner and chef, Gwendolyn Dare Hageman. Spending years in restaurants that catered to the original American diet, she found her true passion in creating food with "limitations" and developed a deep desire to provide better, more creative alternatives.
While teaching students at Warren Wilson College the art of vegan cuisine, she tested her prototypes on the large, passionate vegan community . She knew cheese was one of the main inhibitors towards a plant-based lifestyle. Because, honestly, most of the stuff on the market is just OK. She used her passion for fermentation and food science to find a healthy, all-natural, plant-powered solution. We are the alternative you want to choose.
Using the same traditional cheesemaking techniques, sans dairy, Darë Vegan Cheese creates an artisan, aged, alternative- unique to Asheville.
Our culturing process creates gut healthy probiotics that both flavor our cheeses, and give back to your body.
We strongly believe you can't create an alternative and call it "cheese" without following the age-old technique of CHEESEMAKING. We have created an amazing product through our passion to provide better.

With so many great places to eat in these tropical islands, it’s a tough call to come up with the absolute 10 best restaurants in the Caribbean. However, we’ve scoured the internet, searched Google reviews, and asked some locals to find out which diners serve up the best dishes.
Some say that the Caribbean is the most diverse culinary destination in the world! This is because the region is a true melting pot of cultures–Caribbean people come from many different origins. You’ll find that Caribbean dishes often mix familiar ingredients with unfamiliar ones.
In order to make this list, a Caribbean restaurant must meet the following requirements:
- Have excellent reviews.
- Be a 5-star establishment.
- Have won an award recently.
If you’re planning on paying a visit to the sunny Caribbean islands sometime soon, why not add one of these excellent eateries to your itinerary?
If you’ve dined at one of these establishments, or would like to recommend another restaurant to our readers, leave us a comment below!
1. Graycliff Restaurant (Nassau, Bahamas)
Graycliff Restaurant in Nassau was named the #1 restaurant in the Caribbean for 2019 by USA Today’s Readers Choice Awards. Offering continental cuisine with a Bahamian twist, this 5-star dining establishment is a cut above the rest.
Wondering what makes it so special? We’re guessing that the fact that it’s located in a historic colonial mansion certainly helps! Graycliff hotel and restaurant is also home to an award-winning wine cellar.
2. The Landing (Harbour Island, Bahamas)
Once again, Bahamian cuisine tops the list. The Landing on Harbour Island in the Bahamas was ranked the number one restaurant in the Caribbean for 2018, according to the Caribbean Journal. Located in a historic hotel, this 5-star eatery overlooks the harbour, and is just an 8-minute walk from a pink-sandy beach. Dishes include local wahoo and lobster, plus gourmet “island-flavored” food.
The atmosphere at the landing has been described as “lovely”, and “impressive”. It’s the restaurant of choice for wedding rehearsal dinners and other events. See a menu here.
3. COA (Dorado, Puerto Rico)
Ranked the number one Caribbean restaurant by Fodors, this sleek, stylish establishment combines Spanish favorites with Puerto Rican flavors. Located at the Ritz-Carlton, this restaurant reinvents even the most simple dishes, and adds a creative Caribbean flair. It was once known as Mi Casa by José Andrés.
Dishes are on the pricier side, but they’re worth every penny. Even the pickiest foodies will be delighted by these delicacies. The dining room is overwhelmingly attractive and features a beautiful ocean view.
4. Sui-Ren (Turks & Caicos)
A relatively new establishment, Sui-Ren is one of three restaurants at the Shore Club in Turks & Caicos. Sui-Ren means “water lily” in Japanese, an omen to the Japanese-Peruvian fusion food that the restaurant serves. Combining fresh seafood and organic vegetables with a wide variety of spices from many countries, this eatery showcases the very best of the Caribbean. It was ranked #2 in USA Today’s Readers Choice Awards for the best restaurants in the Caribbean.
5. Sheer Rocks (Antigua)
Sheer Rocks stands on rocky cliffs overlooking beautiful Ffryes beach in Saint Mary, Antigua.
Its claim to fame is its romantic beachside location (of course) and a menu that showcases the very best of Antigua. Nearly every ingredient is handpicked or caught locally, and produce is organic and fresh.
6. The Wine Cellar (Willemstad, Curacao)
The winner of TripAdvisor’s 2018 Traveler’s Choice Award, The Wine Cellar in Willemstad, Curacao offers European and French cuisine. As a prestigious member of Chaine des Rotisseurs, this establishment features an extensive wine list and a fantastic continental menu. It is the only classic french style restaurant on Curacao, and boasts such delicacies as lobster bisque and filet mignon.
7. Bistrot Caraibes (St. Martin)
Bistrot Caraibes in St. Martin is the place to go in St. Martin for delicious, fresh seafood. So fresh, in fact, that the lobster are pulled from a fountain out front before being cooked and served.
A local favorite for over twenty years, Bistrot Caraibes features an ample menu, fresh ingredients, and friendly staff. Although there are many French restaurants on St. Martin due to the island’s history with the European nation, the Bistrot has been described as the very best French eatery of all. It’s a title that the owners take quite seriously, and their efforts have earned Bistrot Caraibes a place on USA Today’s list of the best restaurants in the Caribbean for 2018.
8. The Kitchen Table by White Palm (Eagle Beach, Aruba)
Named the best restaurant in the Caribbean by TripAdvisor in 2018, The Kitchen Table in Eagle Beach, Aruba has garnered astounding positive reviews not only from TripAdvisor readers, but on Google reviews as well.
This local favorite serves up local, Caribbean, Cajun, and Creole cuisine. The menu includes appetizing vegetarian and vegan options as well. Those who have dined there have exclaimed, “it’s worth going to Aruba for!”
In addition, The Kitchen Table is located on the spectacular Eagle Beach. This relaxing, elegant beach has been named one of the best beaches in the Caribbean for 2019.
9. Champers Restaurant (Barbados)
With an almost unheard-of 4.8 rating on Facebook and 4.6 on Google, Champers Restaurant has become one of the most popular dining establishments in Barbados. That’s no surprise, considering its lovely location and extensive wine bar. It overlooks Rockley Beach and combines both Caribbean and international flavors.
10. Straw Hat Restaurant (Meads Bay, Anguilla)
Specializing in unique, eclectic dishes, Straw Hat Restaurant in Anguilla is known for its relaxed atmosphere. While there, you can listen to live music while enjoying fresh seafood and Caribbean cuisine. In addition, the restaurant has a lovely outdoor event space for private events. Located right on the beach, you’ll never lack for incredible ocean views while dining at Straw Hat.

The singer took to his Instagram story channel with the photo of the tattoo which was done on the young lady's stomach.

Here it is! Part 2. I had a bit of trouble explaining alot of stuff correctly, but I hope I get the point across decently enough. If you're still having trouble, just comment with your questions and stuff below. ^^ I'll try my best to help you.
I did try it like this, but with my version of paint I didn't get anywhere... So I went back to my old tyechnic of sketching the mane out in a bright colour and then going over it with a thick curve tool in the colour I want the outline of the mane to be... Then I would remove the sketch lines.


It felt like they couldn’t take on board what I said, it felt like what I said doesn’t mean anything as it’s on a video call. When you go to court you can feel their body language, you know if they are listening to you – on a video link, they might be listening, but are they taking it on board?Defendant
It’s very rare to get any direct insight into defendants’ experience from research. Normally indirect views come from lawyers, support workers or judges. A new report reflects the reality of defendants’ experiences of the court and preparation for court – albeit only a small number. The report covers a lot of ground and makes for sobering reading. Defendants find it really hard to understand and engage with court proceedings from start to finish. Prison to court video links are one of the many barriers.
Video links between prisons and the court are set up for all kinds of hearings – for remand reviews, trial preparation hearings, sentencing and occasionally for trials. They have been used since 2000 and their usage increased during the pandemic since they saved travel. The defendants interviewed sometimes chose a video linked hearing, but only for convenience – because they didn’t want to risk moving prison, as often happens after an in-person court hearing. Defendants saw no advantage to video hearings except saving time and travel. And nearly all felt that opting for video involved a trade-off since the experience of the video linked court hearing was inferior to the in-person hearing.
Defendants’ complaints about video technology echoed those of magistrates surveyed for a recent report on magistrates’ courts during Covid. Defendants found it difficult to see everyone in the court and to know who was who. Too often, the audio was poor and connections failed.
“Really difficult to get connection to work. Didn’t know if I was being stitched up as a result. Told to shush during the hearing, but it’s not a nice thing when you can’t hear what they are saying about you. Got a transcript a week later but didn’t hear everything at the time.”
“Lost track of who was talking at times, couldn’t see prosecution when they were talking.”
Technical problems weren’t just a nuisance – they caused defendants great stress and prevented them participating in their own hearing. Defendants also had fundamental concerns about video hearings even when the technology worked, concerns which have been echoed by magistrates, judges and lawyers ever since video links began to be used. Defendants felt that non-verbal cues were much more difficult to communicate and interpret over video, which reduced their confidence in expressing their point of view.
“Strange feeling, almost as if I wasn’t there. Like a hearing going on about me, like a fly on the wall to it. People in court not looking at camera I was viewing, so it felt that proceedings were not directed towards me. Almost as if I was a ghost of me watching it. I worked really hard on my self-esteem in prison, felt deflated and that I had done a lot of hard work for nothing, that [the video-link] burst a bubble.”
“A video-link makes you feel out of sight, out of mind, made me feel a bit s**t. I feel everyone should have the chance to apologise and put their point across, but I didn’t feel able to on a video link”.
Defendants were so wary about the negative effects of video that they would only choose to use video link if they felt the hearing was not particularly important – they viewed many remand reviews as a foregone conclusion and therefore not worth making the effort of going to court in person.
A huge advantage of in person hearings was that the defendant could communicate properly with their solicitor. In prison, they got scant chance to speak to their lawyer in advance of or after the hearing.
“You get a 5-minute window before [the video-link] to talk to your solicitor – not long enough.…It’s a massive thing – your liberty could be at risk, but you are given 5 minutes. If longer, your solicitor could tell you what outcome expecting, what she will put forward, what you want to add. More time could put you at ease more, prepare you for what she says she thinks will happen.”
Concerns about defendants in prison not having enough time to talk to their lawyer have been expressed for years so it’s a bit disheartening that the system has not improved. But the report throws light on one issue which has never cropped up in previous research – defendants concerned that the presence of a prison officer in the video room breaches their rights to confidentiality within the prison. Most defendants felt that the presence of a prison officer (an officer always sits in) prevented them from being open in their hearing. They were nervous the information could be shared with other officers and fellow prisoners. Defendants were faced with Hobsons Choice – either explain their life history and mitigating circumstances of the crime, or risk that intimate information spreading through the prison.
“This officer spoke about these challenges [I have faced in my life] to other staff and inmates which was very uncomfortable for me…I didn’t feel I could be myself as a result of the prison officer in the room – you have a front and a position in the jail to maintain. It would have been demeaning to defend myself in front of the prison officer, you live with them 24/7. There is no confidentiality.”
Criminal court hearings are not, of course, private but if a defendant divulges personal details in open court, that information is unlikely to travel very far unless it’s a high profile case.
This report is useful. It is the latest of many reports which suggest that video hearings prevent effective participation. But none of these answer the billion-dollar question about video hearings – do they make a difference to judicial decisions, remand, conviction/acquittal and sentencing? All the evidence suggests video leads to more punitive, liberty-limiting decisions, but we need hard data.

Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that he will select a strong side for the visit of struggling Liverpool after claiming to have erred last season in “picking the wrong team” after the Red Devils were knocked out in the third round by Leeds United.
Two men who definitely miss out are John O’Shea and Paul Scholes, while Wayne Rooney and Edwin van der Sar remain doubts. Javier Hernandez, meanwhile, may have forced his way into the starting XI with two goals in his last two games.
Possible starting XI: Kuszczak; Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson; Berbatov, Hernandez.
Caretaker manager Kenny Dalglish has virtually a full squad to pick from for the trip to Old Trafford, aside from the injured Jamie Carragher.
Sotirios Kyrgiakos is expected to miss out in favour of Daniel Agger in defence whilst Dirk Kuyt and Raul Meireles should also return, which means Dalglish has something of a selection headache in midfield for his first game in charge.
Possible starting XI: Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Konchesky; Kuyt, Meireles, Lucas, Gerrard, Cole; Torres.
Hosts aiming to pour more misery on Reds
The FA Cup may not be anywhere near the top of Manchester United’s priority list this season, but the fact that they been paired with bitter rivals Liverpool in the third round - added to last season’s early exit from the competition - means this is a match they will be taking very seriously indeed.
Sir Alex Ferguson will surely also be licking his lips at the chance to dump yet more misery on his arch-rivals, particularly in a season where his team are currently on target to surpass Liverpool’s record of 18 league titles.
Reds hoping for some FA Cup magic
They say that form goes out of the window in the FA Cup, and in derby games too for that matter, and Liverpool will travel to Old Trafford praying that really is the case. The Reds are under fire after a dismal season, and recent defeats to Blackburn Rovers, Wolves and Newcastle United means Kenny Dalglish has his work cut out in his first game in charge.
Yet the Merseysiders should need little motivation for this game, and a quick glance at the history books will give them hope. The last time the two sides met in the competition, in 2006, the Reds beat United in the fifth round courtesy of Peter Crouch’s first-half goal.
History also dictates that in every FA Cup tie between these two sides since 1985, the winners of the tie have gone on to lift the trophy. Motivation, indeed, if any were needed.

Lots of Wolves fans have been left gushing over some injury news involving Pedro Neto.
As quoted by Birmingham World, Bruno Lage has now revealed that the Portugal international could start training in ‘four or five weeks’, and with the team in ‘maybe six weeks’.
Does Neto get in your starting eleven?
Neto has not played for the Midlands club since he was forced off in the first half of their away game at Fulham in the Premier League back in April through injury, and it is clear that the Molineux faithful miss him.
He has proved how important he is to the side, scoring five goals and making a further six assists in 31 matches in the top flight last season (Transfermarkt), and Lage could really do with the winger back in his squad and back out on the pitch as soon as possible.
Wolves fans on Neto injury news
These WWFC supporters were left gushing over the injury news on Neto as it was shared by Talking Wolves on their Twitter page:
“WE WILL BE UNBEATABLE”
“The Premier League isn’t ready for the king’s return”
“Jesus!!!! I’m going to cry!”
“Oh good grief the options. But surely something has to give in January.”
“We’re going on a title charge”
“Nah when this guy comes back we are actually frying”

Nachama Soloveichik over at the Club for Growth kindly sends me a rundown of where the possible McCain veeps stand on cap-and-trade legislation. (But nothing on Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman.) Here are some excerpts:
Charlie Crist: This year, Crist has pushed for and signed legislation [for] a plan to cap carbon emissions in his own state.... Governor Crist also signed an agreement with the British government to join forces in creating a global cap-and-trade market for greenhouse gas emissions.
Tim Pawlenty: The Minnesota governor has already passed energy mandates last year, requiring utilities to produce 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025 and set targets for the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. Now, Pawlenty is seeking to take his environmental progress regional. In January of this year, Pawlenty met with other Midwest governors, signing the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Accord to establish a cap-and-trade market in the Midwest.
Bobby Jindal: Governor Jindal supported some kind of government mandate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but to what extent remains unclear. In June 2007, he voted in support of (voted against removing) a section in the 2008 Interior-Environment Appropriations Bill that expressed "the sense of the Congress that there should be enacted a comprehensive and effective national program of mandatory, market-based limits and incentives on emissions of greenhouse gases that slow, stop, and reverse the growth of such emissions at a rate and in a manner that: (1) will not significantly harm the United States economy; and (2) will encourage comparable action by other nations that are major trading partners and key contributors to global emissions."
Mitt Romney: Mitt Romney's position on cap-and-trade is the hardest to pin down. Campaigning in New Hampshire last year, Governor Romney was captured on video saying about cap-and-trade: "I support it on a global basis as one of the possible solutions. I do not support it for the USA alone. I want to do it with other nations involved." The governor could also be found during the campaign attacking the McCain's sponsorship of cap-and-trade legislation, saying it would have increased energy costs for the average Florida family of four by $1,000 and would "kill jobs."
Mike Huckabee: Governor Huckabee has long taken a religious approach to the environment, and cap-and-trade is no exception. In a 2007 Bloomberg article, Mike Huckabee said he supports a cap-and-trade system because "it goes to the moral issues. We have a responsibility to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, to conserve energy, to find alternative forms of energy that are renewable and sustainable and environmentally friendly."
Governors Mark Sanford, Sarah Palin, and Rob Portman do not have a public position on the legislation.

Addiction is a serious issue that impacts millions of people all over the world. While you may feel like you can beat an addiction on your own in the early stages, the process becomes much harder as continue to use drugs and alcohol. Over time, even strong-willed addicts find that going cold turkey just isn’t an option anymore.
That’s when Florida rehab centers can help.
Seeking help to beat an addiction is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, going through addiction alone and coming out the other side healthy just isn’t possible for most people. You need help and people on your side that understand addiction.
Use this guide to learn more about how rehab can help you turn your life around, as well as what treatment options exist near you. You may be surprised how flexible rehab can be while still taking your physical and mental health needs seriously.
What Treatment Options Exist?
Going to rehab isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Depending on your addiction and specific needs, you may need specialized care or a unique approach to treatment. The good news is that there are Different Types Of Treatment For Addiction out there to help addicts who want to enter recovery.
Choosing the right program for you often depends on how long you’ve been addicted, how much you’re using and what type of drugs you’re using. A few common treatment programs are below.
Detox treatment is often necessary for individuals who use drugs for a long period of time or heavily over a short period of time. When you do this, you develop a physical addiction that can be hard to overcome. Detox treatment helps you get the drugs out of your system and handle any withdrawal symptoms that could be dangerous if you go cold turkey.
For serious addictions, medical detox is often the best choice for a safe start to quitting drugs. If you don’t get any medical help, you could suffer through detox, or worse, go back to using drugs to simply stop the pain.
Inpatient treatment programs for drug addiction give users a safe living space to get clean and sober. Most programs last around 30 days, though shorter and longer programs do exist for certain types of addictions. When you enter inpatient care, specialists like doctors will help determine the length of your stay based on your addiction needs.
In inpatient care, therapy programs are common, as well as the use of medicine online in some. Some programs combine detox and inpatient care for a full experience that gives addicts a better chance at staying sober once they leave inpatient care.
Outpatient care lets addicts stay at home and go to group or individual meetings on a regular basis for drug-related therapy. In many cases, addicts will attend an outpatient treatment center once, twice or even three or more times per week. Intensive programs may see addicts going to an outpatient facility every day.
One of the main benefits of outpatient care is that you get to stay with your family who should be supportive of you getting help. Many people also continue working if they are able to do so while they get clean and sober from drug and alcohol addiction.
When Should I Go to Rehab?
If you’re an addict and you know you need help to quit, going to rehab now is your best choice for returning to a safe, healthy life. If you don’t get help today, you could be putting yourself at serious risk the very next time you use drugs. With serious drugs like heroin and opiates, the next time could be the last if you’re a user.
Don’t let drugs take control of your life and keep you from being the person you want to be. It is possible to quit, and while it may be a difficult process, it is well within your power to do so. You just may need a little bit of help on your team. That’s exactly what a reputable rehab program can give you.
Don’t wait another day if you’re addicted to drugs or alcohol. Trained specialists can also help you learn more about addiction before you’re too far gone to change if you feel like you’re headed toward a problem. It’s never too early – or too late – to get professional help for a substance abuse issue.

SMALL business lobby group the Forum of Private Business (FPB) has set out its stall for the year ahead by calling for tax and investment stimulants to get the economy moving.
Chief executive Phil Orford said: “With talk of an unprecedented ‘triple dip’ recession, it is no wonder that confidence remains low, businesses hoarding cash and investment intentions distinctly muted.
“Despite this, many small business owners possess the courage and creativity to progress despite adverse trading conditions. What we need during 2013 is a clear national economic strategy which maintains a focus on deficit reduction, lower borrowing and an improvement in our balance of payments, while mapping out a visionary approach to medium and long-term enterprise-friendly policies to give all business the confidence to invest.
“This must be the focus of the Budget on March 20 with further tax and investment stimulants to encourage businesses to spend some of the £700bn of cash on their balance sheets.”
He said the economy had struggled for too long because of the lack of affordable credit available to businesses and consumers.
“Despite a number of government initiatives, the latest of which is the Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS), the main banks continue to disable growth by applying unreasonable criteria to their assessments of risk and credit worthiness,” said Mr Orford.
“They are institutionally risk adverse, anti-competitive and fail to grasp the scale of the damage they have done, and continue to do. More radical action must be taken to force change now, rather in years to come.”
He also reminded small firms about changes to legislation and HMRC rules.
“The timetable for auto-enrolment rolls on and small businesses should start preparing now for 2015 implementation,” said Mr Orford.
“Real Time Information (RTI), that requires companies to report payroll information monthly rather than annually, creates a huge additional burden for businesses with its implementation in April 2013.
“And with significant amendments to employment legislation, employers need to be aware of how these changes will affect how they manage staff.”
And he called on politicians to pay more attention to the needs of the small business sector rather than focusing on “short-term political survival strategies”.
Mr Orford said: “Instead, they must focus on schemes to support national infrastructure and security based upon long-term planning for roads, rail, aviation, energy and water.
“The Forum of Private Business will continue to provide leadership, support and protection to its members and the wider small business community. We will continue to promote our campaign to ‘Get Britain Trading’ and lobby for Government to speed up its efforts to create the right environment for business.”

History has proved that military technology is capable to produce powerful weapons of every type. Military aircraft for example are some of the most advanced technological products of the world. Although, some attempts have resulted in very odd designs. Let's have a look!
5. Britten-Norman BN-2T AEW Defender
Of course, we don't need to mention what makes the aircraft so unique. If you see it in the images, it's easy to notice its big "nose". A powerful radar is located in this part of the aircraft!
4. North American F-82 Twin Mustang
What did the US do during WWII to create a reliable fighter? It connected two P-51 fighters and named the result as "Twin Mustang". The aircraft consists of two parallel fighters.
3. Grumman OV-1 Mohawk
The specific aircraft looks normal but features a pretty unique design for an ordinary observation aircraft. But, in its role, the Mohawk performed excellently!
2. Sikorsky S-51 Dragonfly
One of the first successful military helicopters, Dragonfly has nothing to do with modern helicopters. Even if its appearance was standing out, it served more than 15 countries.
1. Blackburn B-101 Beverley
The British transport aircraft was reliable and effective in its role. Part of its success was the weird shape of its hull, a feature that helped it carry more cargo!
