Joyce gets into the swing of things at Nesbit House
You are never too old to try something new, but it can feel challenging to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
So, when resident Joyce Smith was asked to take part in an indoor golf game in our lounge, she was hesitant to say ‘yes’. Joyce, 95, was worried that she wouldn’t be able to participate because she has mobility challenges and uses a wheelchair. However, with encouragement from staff, Joyce was persuaded to give the game a go.
“I have never played golf in my life and I never thought I would,” explains Joyce. “I assumed that being in a chair would make it too difficult. But everyone promised that I could be part of it if I were willing to try something different. I’m so glad I trusted them.”
The golf match was played in one of Nesbit House’s beautiful lounges, where staff are encouraging residents to compete in different games. They’ve installed a dartboard and stocked up on jigsaws and board games, so residents now have a range of fun activities to do while relaxing there.
The indoor golf has proved to be a hit with many residents, including keen golfer Bert James who continues to play at a local club with his son-in-law from time-to-time. The other golfers have encouraged Joyce to join in, and the staff helped her to find the best angle to putt from a seated position.
"I told my daughter that I’d been golfing and she didn’t believe me at first!” laughs Joyce. “It’s been great to push myself a little bit and I appreciate how helpful the staff have been. I’ve also been getting involved in the baking club and sharing my scone knowledge with the others. I’m having lots of fun.”
Some residents, like Joyce, need a little gentle persuasion to start taking part in group activities. But all our staff are trained to find opportunities to boost their wellbeing and to build their confidence. The Personalised Wellbeing Plans created by our Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach Dean Champion help residents continue with the hobbies and activities they enjoy, but also encourages them to try new things too.
Joyce has made incredible progress during her time with us. We’re excited to see what she – and the rest of the residents – get involved in next.

In this paper, we propose a numerical method for the voice generation process based on some mathematical model. As the model, we use Webster's horn equation for the 1D case. We then discretize this equation by FEM and calculate the frequency response function. We consider the complex eigenvalue problem corresponding to Webster's horn equation and give a variational formula for the complex eigenvalue with respect to the variation of vocal tract shape. We numerically confirm that the complex eigenvalue is closely related to the frequency response function, and propose a vocal tract shape design algorithm using variational formula and confirm its efficiency numerically.

25 Jul Helideck Certification Officers Present at RINA May 2019
Following a request for papers, Chris Wood and Matt Weetch were delighted to fly out to Genoa to present a paper on “Design for Helideck Certification” at the Royal Institute of Naval Architects (RINA) Design & Construction of Super & Mega Yachts Conference May 2019. Both are experienced Senior Helideck Certification Officers with a Royal Navy Maritime Aviation background.
The purpose of their paper was to provide superyacht designers with some valuable guidance on the design of a helideck, such that it can be demonstrated to be “safe by design” as part of the design process. This in turn may be used to support safe helicopter operations and provide a good basis for Certification should it be required at any point during the yacht’s life-time.
As a Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) approved Aviation Inspection Body (AIB), Safeguard Helideck Certification is fully conversant with the international standards and codes required for helideck operations and is well placed to advise on helideck design.
Commenting on their presentation Matt and Chris agreed that: “The Conference paper was very well received with a number of technical questions from the audience who seemed keen to know more. We have since liaised with a couple of well-known superyacht designers to give input to their design process.”
As superyachts continue to grow in both size and complexity, with some boasting fore and aft helidecks, the need for specialist advice at the design stage is crucial and the Safeguard Helideck Certification team are the recognised experts in this field.
Get in contact now and let’s see how we can help you get your Helipad Certified!

From the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottomans to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia, Eastern Europe has been a battleground between the East and the West and a region of fluid frontiers. In Contested Frontiers in the Balkans Irina Marin follows the history of the Banat of Temesvar, a province situated on the edges of these competing empires and currently divided among Romania, Serbia and Hungary. The history of the Banat is, on a small scale, the history of Central and Eastern Europe as a whole - with its overlapping imperial rules, redrawing of boundaries, composite identities, Procrustean nation-states straddling multi-ethnic regions, the legacy of Communism and its vagaries, and the resuscitation of regionalism within the framework of the European Union. It is also the place where the Romanian Revolution of 1989 started which brought Ceau escu's Communist dictatorship to an end. The first history of its kind, this is an important study of Serbian and Romanian ethnicity, culture and influence explored through archival documents and a transnational historical approach, and provides new insights into the major empires of history and their relationship with the Balkan lands.

Hispanic Actors Hit the Red Carpet at the Vantage Point Premiere

Hispanic Actors Hit the Red Carpet at the Vantage Point Premiere
Peopleenespanol.com got the inside scoop from Eduardo Noriega and Édgar Ramírez; the thriller hits theaters today
Édgar Ramírez & Zoë Saldaña

Set in Salamanca, Spain (although mostly filmed in Mexico), during an antiterrorism summit, the film unfolds in an unconventional manner as the audience is allowed to relive the same moment from eight different perspectives.
Check out the trailer here.
The movie, which comes out Feb. 22, also stars Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox and Sigourney Weaver.
Peopleenespanol.com got an exclusive peek at the film and was able to talk to some of the cast members, including Spanish actor, Eduardo Noriega, who plays a Spanish police officer on the run.
How do you feel about the rise of Spanish actors in American cinema?
Yeah, that's great! [Antonio] Banderas, Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem – [they're] really important for the Spanish film industry and for [other] the Spanish actors. I think that now in America they will think that every [Spanish] actor is going to be like Javier Bardem, so that's gonna be good for me, they're gonna think I'm a really good actor, that's good [laughs].
Next up was Édgar Ramírez, an up-and-coming Hispanic actor who's already appeared in such blockbusters as The Bourne Ultimatum and Domino. He shared his thoughts on the state of the Latin film industry.
How do you think your role will help pave the way for other Hispanics actors?
You just try to do the best you can, that's pretty much what you do. The presence of Hispanic talent in the world has everything to do with quality, talent and passion. It's something that is already there, that is established, and that the presence of Latin talent in acting, directing and cinematography, in all different disciplines involved in moviemaking is just part of the landscape of [the industry].
So are you satisfied with the representation of Hispanic actors in American cinema, then?
Definitely, because right now, or at least according to my experience, the people who are writing the stories, the people who are producing all the movies, they are either Hispanic or their best friends are Hispanic, or they grew up with Hispanic people around them, so I don't think that it's an exotic thing anymore; it's part of the reality and the cultural face of this country. I don't see doors opening, what I see is people embracing our culture.
Ramírez will next be seen in the Steven Sodebergh film, The Argentine starring Benicio del Toro and Rodrigo Santoro.

Us is an American horror movie with and by Jordan Peele who is the mastermind behind the Academy Award winning Get Out, a horror movie dealing with social issues such as racial discrimination. His most recent film doesn't deal with social issues and balances horror elements with mystery sequences.
The film's weakest point is the plot. Even though it sounds intriguing at first, it leaves many questions unanswered and even comes around with quite a few plot holes towards the end. The predictable twist can't save the messy script either. The movie revolves around a young girl who encounters a mysterious doppelgänger in a hall of mirrors which leaves her mentally tormented. Several decades later, she reluctantly returns to the region where she experienced this trauma and soon starts noticing strange occurences. She tries to convince her husband to depart with their two children but her doppelgänger and her family soon break into their cottage and attempt to kill them to take their places. The family manages to escape and realizes that citizen all around the region are being attacked by their doppelgängers. The young woman must confront the demons of her past in order to find a way to stop them.
This horror movie convinces with numerous elements. It has an uneasy atmosphere right from the start that never lets go until its partial conclusion. The acting performances are authentic and especially lead actress Lupita Nyong'o is incredible as tormented soul with a heart of gold and remarkable resilience. Even the child actresses and actors deliver the goods in this film. The opening sequence takes place in the eighties and has a cool nostalgic flair. The locations are carefully chosen and especially the scenes in the hall of mirrors are memorable.
Even though the movie isn't particularly scary and frustrates with a few plot holes, it is overall very entertaining and its strong acting performances, intense atmosphere and intriguing locations pardon for the film's minor flaws. I hesitated between giving the film seven or eight points but since I was thoroughly entertained by it at the local movie theatre, I decided to give it the better of the two grades. If you like mysterious horror films, you are going to appreciate this film.

Happy Death Day was the most positive cinematic surprise of the year when it was released about one and a half years ago. The characters were quirky, the plot was surprising, the thrills were gripping, the jokes were humorous and the acting was emotional.
Sadly, this unique movie was so commercially successful that it has been made into a franchise. This sequel could normally be described as an above average comedy horror mixture. But since it follows a flawless film, it can only be described as a disappointment.
The first ten minutes of the film are promising. Instead of following the story of the first film's lead actress, we see how a side character of the first installment lives a time loop. However, the film's perspective soon shifts and we see the previous film's lead actress living a time loop over and over again.
The sequel tries to add a few misplaced fresh elements which take away from the predecessor's free-spirited vibe. The time loop is explained with the help of forced science-fiction elements which are unintentionally ridiculous. The new time loop also takes place in a different dimension where characters behave randomly differently from the first movie which is simply lazy scrip writing. The film tries to be more dramatic as the lead actress must choose between living in a dimension where she is single but her mother is still alive or a dimension where she has a boyfriend but her mother has died. Instead of adding an emotional tone, the film is overtly sentimental which doesn't work because the actors and actresses involved don't have the talent to transmit such feelings. The fact that the lead actress choses her new boyfriend over her deceased mother is also baffling to say the least.
To make matters worse, this sequel includes an additional scene midway through the credits that indicates that there will be a third film focused on sending the lead actress' sister back in time. Happy Death Day risks suffering a similar fate to other comedy horror franchises from Scary Movie to Scream that repeated themselves endlessly while constantly losing quality.
There are a few elements that save this movie from being a complete failure. The characters from the predecessor have all come back and are still quite sympathetic. New additional characters add some spice here and there. The movie includes a few hilarious scenes such as the lead actress' sister playing a blind French exchange student seducing a grumpy professor. One can't deny that this movie is generally quite entertaining except for a repetitive third quarter that consists of a series of random setbacks that prevent the lead actress from going back to her original dimension.
In the end, I wish Happy Death Day 2U didn't exist because it spoils the unique perfection of its memorable predecessor. Objectively speaking however, this sequel is entertaining, funny and quirky as it offers one hundred minutes of popcorn cinema that is quite easy to digest. If I had to give you one advice, I would ask you to watch the first movie and forget that this sequel or any other movie of this franchise even exists.

Saw 3D is the seventh installment in the psychological horror franchise about philosophical serial killer John Kramer alias Jigsaw. It was initially planned to conclude the series with two films but after poor box office results for the predecessor, the two scripts were scrammed into one for this movie. The franchise also jumped on the bandwagon and released this feature with three-dimensional effects. The premise of the movie was quite worrisome in my opinion. Two scripts scrammed into one have rarely led to solid movies. Films with three-dimensional effects often focus on visual elements and neglect the plot which would be terrible for such a clever horror series as Saw. The announcement that this would definitely be the final part of the series also rose expectations in order to properly connect and conclude all seven films which would seem quite ambitious to say the least.
Even though Saw 3D is clearly the worst of the first seven films, it's still better than anticipated. The plot is rushed and leaves a few questions unanswered instead of properly concluding the franchise. The main twist is also highly predictable and makes for the weakest script of the series. The three-dimensional effects aren't particularly spectacular which isn't a bad thing since they aren't overused and don't reduce the movie to sinister eye candy. I could however imagine viewers paying an additional three or four dollars for wearing uncomfortable glasses for ninety minutes feeling cheated.
The movie revolves around a pretentious self-help guru who has published an autobiography about his survival of Jigsaw's deadly game. He also organizes support groups for other survivors and appears on television to increase sales figures. However, the whole story is made up and he has never been kidnapped by Jigsaw and his spiritual successors. Obviously, he is going to be kidnapped soon enough and has to prove whether he is as resilient as described in his own book in order to save those who have benefited from his ruthless scam.
While this side story is interesting enough, the main plot that attempts sometimes more and sometimes less convincingly to connect this movie to its six predecessors is even more intriguing. Detective Mark Hoffman is being hunted down like game after blowing his cover but he still seeks revenge for what Jigsaw's ex-wife Jill Hunt did to him. She seeks the protection of the police that is coming continuously closer to capturing the rogue detective. However, the antagonist still has some cards up his sleeve. Nobody however predicts the involvement of a third spiritual successor of the serial killer who decides to intervene to keep Jigsaw's heritage alive.
Despite being the weakest installment in the franchise up to that point and offering a rather unsatisfactory resolution, Saw 3D should still appeal to fans of the franchise as a good average movie. Still, it might have been the right decision to pull the plug at that point before slowly destroying the reputation of an incredibly consistent horror franchise up to that moment. Obviously, greed has brought the franchise back seven years later with a reboot entitled Jigsaw, making it the eighth entry in the franchise. Another sequel is already being planned at this point. Personally, I don't believe it's necessary to make this franchise a never-ending story. Moderation is the key and seven entries are already more than enough in my book.
Par kluseba le 30 Janvier 2019 à 05:48
After a solid but overall less convincing fifth installment, the sixth entry in the psychological horror franchise is a step in the right direction without reaching the quality of the first four movies. The film has a strong moral side as the test subject is a ruthless insurance executive this time around who decides upon life and death by applying or refusing a policy. Rather than facing deadly traps himself, he encounters colleagues in such traps and must decide who is going to live and who is going to die until he will be judged himself at the end of his ordeal.
The side story is already quite intriguing and unpredictable but the main plot is even stronger and follows the events of the previous installments. Detective Mark Hoffman tries to provide evidence to incriminate deceased Agent Peter Strahm with his own crimes but gets caught up in a web of lies that he soon can't control anymore. He is trying to keep John Kramer's sinister legacy going while distracting his colleagues and superiors long enough to find a way out of his difficult situation. However, John Kramer's ex-wife Jill Tuck also becomes an increasingly important pawn in a deadly game of chess between the police forces and the successors of the philosophical serial killer.
The movie convinces with a bleak atmosphere reminding of a film noir atmosphere from start to finish. The plot is clever, intense and unpredictable. The traps are creative and seem less grisly than usual. The movie ends with a dramatic showdown recalling the franchise's greatest installments. It's obviously difficult to surprise audiences with a sixth installment as some ideas have been used before but this movie is certainly great for what it is.
Those who expected a steady decline of the franchise after a slightly weaker predecessor, will be surprised by this movie's resilient quality. It once again underlines the franchise's success despite negative reviews by so-called experts around the world. Those experts can watch three-hour long sentimental dramas and nominate them for ten Academy Awards. Fans of the franchise will rather watch ninety- minute long surprising, intense and brutal psychological thrillers like this one. Quality doesn't always need to be intellectual. I would watch Saw VI over any Terrence Malick flick in a heartbeat. You should give it a try to as you might get positively surprised.
Par kluseba le 28 Janvier 2019 à 06:55
Saw V focuses less on deadly traps but rather intensifies the duel between a desperate, lonesome and sinister Agent Peter Strahm who tries to find evidence to frame brutal, cool and pitiless Detective Mark Hoffman for inheriting Jigsaw's legacy and keeping the deadly games going. As nobody believes the agent who is even put on medical leave, he steals files from past cases to research them in order to put pressure on the detective. He discovers the case of a convicted murderer who died in a pendulum trap he didn't have the chance to escape which breaks with Jigsaw's code of honour. When Agent Peter Strahm discovers that the convicted murderer had killed Detective Mark Hoffman's sister, he holds the evidence to arrest his opponent. However, the motivated agent seems to underestimate the fact that his opponent is already aware that he has lost his cover and has been preparing a trap for the one who is chasing him.
While the main plot is tense, sinister and gripping, this movie uses less deadly traps than its immediate predecessor but the ones that are shown in the movie are actually among the most creative ones in the franchise. Five people with a sinister connection face a series of deadly traps that bring out the worst in each of them. As usual, there are meanings behind the different traps that the five adults must understand in order to guarantee their survival.
Even though the fifth entry in the franchise convinces with a solid main plot with two intriguing characters portrayed by two excellent actors and a side story involving a series of clever traps, this movie is a little bit less convincing than the four predecessors. This is mainly due to a lack of unexpected surprises towards the end of the film despite a tagline that claims otherwise. The middle section is also somewhat plodding and especially the scenes with Jigsaw's ex-wife Jill Tuck could at least have been shortened or even cut altogether.
Still, fans of the franchise will certainly appreciate this film that includes once again many flashbacks that explain and revisit events from the past four entries in an intriguing way. It only makes sense to watch these movies in chronological order as it's impossible to understand the characters' motivations and intertwined story lines if you have skipped one or several of this film's outstanding predecessors. Despite being an overall great film, Saw V is the first sign of a slow decline of the franchise that would have two more sequels before going on hiatus for about seven years. While the first four entries in the franchise are essential for anyone who likes horror movies and psychological thrillers, Saw V is highly recommendable for fans of the franchise but not as extraordinary as it could have been with some more time to develop an even tighter script.

Your pancreas is an unassuming organ you may not give much thought to. This organ is about six inches long and is located in your abdomen, behind your stomach. As with other cancers, pancreatic cancer occurs when cells go haywire and have uncontrolled growth. While pancreatic cancer accounts for only about 3% of cancers diagnosed in the United States, the American Cancer Society predicts that around 57,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019. Additionally, about 46,000 Americans will die from it. Since prevention and early diagnosis are key to survival, here are some facts you should know about pancreatic cancer.
10. Types of Pancreatic Cancer
The two main types of cells in the pancreas are exocrine cells and endocrine cells. Exocrine cells make up most of the cells in your pancreas. As part of the exocrine gland, their job is to create the pancreatic enzymes that help you digest your food. A smaller number of cells in the pancreas are the endocrine cells, which are involved in forming hormones such as insulin and glucagon. Exocrine cancers are the most common types of pancreatic cancers. Adenocarcinomas that start in the pancreatic ducts account for the majority of pancreatic cancers. Endocrine pancreatic cancers, often called islet cell tumors or NETs, are far less common.
9. Signs and Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer can be difficult to distinguish from symptoms of other diseases. Unfortunately, this means that pancreatic cancers are not often caught in the early stages. Signs of pancreatic cancer include jaundice or yellowing of the skin, urine that is dark in color, pale and greasy stools, weight loss, and abdominal pain. Painful blood clots called deep vein thromboses might form in a leg. If the bile duct is blocked, your gall bladder may become enlarged, forming a bump under your rib cage.

This includes onsite and in-clinic services, as we believe that a healthy and durable workforce lends itself to happier employees and employers. At Enhance Physiotherapy we work along side you and your employees to gain a thorough understanding of your workplace and its needs to best tailor preventative and rehabilitative services and procedures. There are many benefits to Occupational Physiotherapy, including:
Reduction in musculoskeletal injuries and subsequent compensation claims
Early intervention and prevention of injury through assessment and modification of worksite ergonomics
Increased employee morale
Open lines of communication between clinicians, patients and employers
Within the New South Wales workforce in 2016-17, there were a total of 106,260 claims for injury, with nearly 40% of those caused by manual handling issues and stress on the body. Of those total claims, 57% were either traumatic joint, ligament, muscle or tendon injuries, or musculoskeletal and connective tissue injuries. On average, 5.3 weeks of productive time is lost per injury, which can have a significant impact on your bottom line. By implementing Occupational Physiotherapy and on-site services, areas of risk can be identified and adapted to prevent injury, as well as rapid diagnosis and treatment of workplace injuries should they arise (State Insurance Regulatory Authority, 2018).
A pre-employment assessment is commonly used by organisations to screen prospective employees’ physical fitness and capacity as well as their ability to perform tasks appropriate to the workplace. Pre-employment assessments cover a broad range of general and specific tasks and movements, and when coupled with same day reporting, an Enhance Physiotherapy promise, provide you with crucial information about prospective staff and their suitability for your workplace.
Enhance Physiotherapy can custom design a pre-employment assessment to suit your workplace, or use a more specific one provided by your organization. Enhance Physiotherapy can also conduct physical and functional assessments in conjunction with medical assessments performed by a Doctor.
Manual handling is often a compulsory component of staff training that encompasses safe lifting and handling practices. It is important that training is not only completed annually for all staff but then repeated when new staff commence or when workstation or procedural changes occur. The team at Enhance Physiotherapy are experienced and highly trained in manual handling & workstation ergonomics and can provide on-site training and assessment services to your business.
Analysis and assessment of your workplace by one of the highly trained Physiotherapists at Enhance Physiotherapy can help to identify areas of injury risk or hazards within the workplace. Following an assessment, structures, procedures or modifications can be implemented in partnership with employers to best protect and prevent the risk of injury or harm to employees.
We are also trained in Job Task Analysis (JTA), which can be used to fully assess the roles and demands of a particular job or employee to best fit new employees to roles, or to assist in assigning suitable duties to workers who may be injured.
Early identification and treatment of injuries, or potential injuries has been shown to reduce overall burden of injury within the workplace. Enhance Physiotherapy’s post-graduate trained Physiotherapists are experts at injury diagnosis, treatment and management, and provide comprehensive and evidence-based assessment and treatment. They also are highly experienced in return to work procedures and modification of duties to suit the injury, the employee and the employer. The team of Physiotherapists will work with you, your employees, insurers and case managers to ensure the best return to work outcome for all.

I couldn’t believe Melvin was actually asking me to do it. Melvin, my girlfriends (now my wife) uncle had a large lump on the back of his right hand. I asked Melvin what the lump was. He said that he had recently went to the doctor and found out that it was a totally harmless lump, but still bothering him. I asked him if he was going to have it removed and he said “no.” He went on to tell me that the doctor had told him if someone would hit his hand with a book as hard as they could that it would go away. He said that he had been trying to find someone to do it for a week but none of his friends would do it. Then……… I volunteered to wack his hand. He was willing to go through the pain of having his hand smashed to get the desired outcome.
Spiritual growth in the Christian life can be painful. Letting go of sinful practices in our lives is compared to putting something to death. Romans 8:13 says, “for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” To get the desired outcome of growth in Christ by the power of God’s Spirit we have to “kill” the deeds of the flesh. Christians are engaged in warfare. We must be committed to the pain of killing those desires that lead us away from God. Colossians 3:5 says, “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”
Melvin laid his hand on a table and handed me a large, thick book. I counted to three, raised the book over me head and slammed it on his hand as hard as I could. Melvin let out a shriek! Then……. The lump was gone. Melvin hurt, but was happy. Are you and I willing to go through the pain of sanctification? We must be willing to kill sin in our lives but remember……. The pain comes first…
“For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification.” I Thessalonians 4:7

Chipotle shares sink in premarket trading as pork shortage dampens sales growth
Concerns over a shortage of pork drove shares of Chipotle lower before the opening bell Wednesday.
The Mexican food chain has been facing a shortage since January when it suspended a major supplier over animal welfare concerns. The suspension may have signaled that the company is focusing more on food ingredients and standards, but it is has also resulted in a shortage of carnitas, which account for 6 to 7 percent of entree orders.
The drop in carnitas sales, coupled with bad weather, have weighed on Chipotle's same-store sales growth, a key measure of retailer health. The Denver-based company reported 10.4 percent sales growth in the first three months of the year, falling short of Wall Street expectations for 11.7 percent growth.
Chipotle is working with suppliers to restore pork supplies to normal levels in its roughly 1,800 restaurants by the fourth quarter, which begins in October.
Janney Capital Markets analyst Mark Kalinowski remains optimistic about the company, citing its first-quarter profit results and ability to control costs. He said food and packaging costs were below expectations, along with general costs.
Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. fell $36.52, or 5.3 percent, to $656 in premarket trading about two hours before the market open.

This cartagena colombia travel guide is quite an adventure, this Colombian city on the Caribbean coast is perfectly preserved as it was an important point in colonial times. During the heyday of drug traffickers in Colombia, Cartagena was considered the safest place in the country for tourists.
Today, it continues to maintain those characteristic colors that remind us of those ancient times of Simon Bolívar, making it, together with Medellin, the best destination to spend vacations. High-class Colombians and foreigners are building houses in this place to rest and are also investing in the nautical sector, such as yachts or catamarans.
In this CARTAGENA COLOMBIA TRAVEL guide we will tell you everything you need to know about this town, places to visit and its people, find hidden beaches, delicious foods and take a tour of the Caribbean Sea.
Visit the Islands
When doing Cartagena travel, it is practically mandatory to visit the most famous islands, including the most important Las Isla del Rosario. Around this famous Island you can find 27 islets to arrive in one of our Yachts. If you want to embark on this adventure, we have 25 ships available at all prices and with assistants to make your trip as comfortable and pleasant as possible, together with your friends or family.
In many of these islands you can drop anchor, jump on the Caribbean water, take jet skis or snorkel and see the most beautiful reefs.
See the Beautiful Sunset From the Wall
When the sun begins to disappear, many locals and tourists like to enjoy the beautiful sunset from the great wall. It is a natural spectacle that you can enjoy with your family and drink a delicious beer or cocktail. It is a show that is worth witnessing, taking videos or photos, but the most beautiful memory will remain in your memory, which is why it is an activity that we recommend with your companions.
How about a free walk?
If Cartagena has something, it is a lot of culture and history, this place is not only for parties, you can also learn a lot about history and admire its monuments. In the tour we can include the Clock Tower, the Palace of the Inquisition, the Customs Square, the Heredia Theater among others.
You can also take a leisurely walk through the Getsemaní district, famous for its colonial houses and exclusive restaurants. Many of our accommodations are found in this district of Getsemaní, so if you stay here, you will live in a colonial paradise throughout your stay.
Get to know the Bazurto Market
If you want to try things out of the ordinary and get to know a different side of Cartagena and escape to the other side of the city, the Bazurto Market will be an interesting tour.
It is very easy to get disoriented in this market due to the noise, it is like a labyrinth, dirty, noisy and fascinating. The market itself is incredible, full of varieties of fruits, spices and vegetables at very low prices. If what you want is to cook your own food on your own, here you will find everything you need. We advise you to come with an empty stomach.
Come to the Museum of Modern Art
Built by the Spanish Royal House in the 17th century, the modern art museum is small and includes an invaluable collection of mostly national artists. Alejandro Obregon, one of the most influential artists in Cartagena in painting, has numerous paintings in this museum, so if you have a taste for art, coming here will be very pleasant for you.
A wide variety of photographs are also exhibited detailing the transformation of the city through history. Your visit here may last about an hour, but believe me it’s worth taking this tour without regretting it.
Exfoliate your skin with mud from the Volcano
Known as the Volcano of youth, many locals and foreigners come here to enjoy this place, exfoliating their skin and having a good time with a beer in hand. Only 15 people enter this place at the same time but we assure you that this is an experience that will revitalize your body and you will feel that you are resting.
According to a local legend, this volcano used to be a lava volcano, but it became a mud volcano due to a rite of a local priest who sprinkled holy water on this place, giving rise to a beautiful legend.
The Castle of San Felipe de Barajas
This famous castle was built and rebuilt from the middle of the 15th century to the 17th century. It was used to defend the coasts of Cartagena from pirates and European invasions.
At this time it is in excellent condition and the passage is accessible to see its typical artillery from the time of independence, you can explore the internal galleries and its innumerable tunnels. Here you will learn how Spanish military engineering was and is now recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
As you can see, this Cartagena Colombia travel guide is not only a party adventure, but you can also learn about its culture, wonderful places, its history and its people.
Many of the people who have traveled to Cartagena from the United States or Europe have ended up staying, either for business or simply because they fell in love with Cartagena. Schedule a video call with us and we will show you everything that we have told you during this article.

(Oranjestad)—After you’ve visited the Alto Vista Church, the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins and the mini natural pool that is located right next to it, you’re next up around the northern coast line must be the Natural Bridge. Once the largest natural bridge in the Caribbean, this bridge has been a tourist attraction for many years.
The bridge was formed during thousands of years, cut and crafted by the wild waves that crash into the coral stone walls of the coast. Before its collapse, this bridge measured 30 meters in length and 7 meters in height, making it the biggest natural bridge in the Caribbean at the time. For many years, this site was also a frequently visited beach, as the bridge had a small opening through which the water would flow into the tiny beach.
Unfortunately in 2005, the bridge collapsed, and the little beach dried up. Despite this, this site remained a tourist attraction, with many visitors walking along the coral cliffs of the bridge to see the spectacular view of the northern coastline and the Caribbean Sea. Visitors can also still visit the souvenir shop on the left of the bridge entrance.
While the natural bridge no longer is functional, there is now a smaller natural bridge very close. This bridge is often called the “Baby Bridge” or “Daughter Bridge”.


In a week that saw the UK’s gambling industry come to terms with a myriad of regulatory changes, we spoke to licensing expert David Clifton, who discussed the finer details of the regulations, as well their wider implications on the industry as a whole.
PaymentExpert: Firstly do you believe these changes, followed by the UK’s AML changes will usher in a year filled with regulatory hurdles for the UK gambling sector?
David Clifton: The credit card ban and the AML changes are just the start of what looks set to be a whole year of increasing regulatory hurdles for the UK gambling sector. The real question is how effectively it will jump those hurdles or, better still, avoid them altogether.
The height of the hurdles will largely depend on the outcome of this year’s parliamentary review of the Gambling Act 2005, the preparatory work for which has already started according to a Minister’s statement in the House of Commons last week.
The emergent threat is the public health lobby, where the Chief Executive of NHS England, the National Mental Health Director and the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care have all come out with swingeing criticisms of the sector – in some cases entirely unsubstantiated – in recent weeks. Every indication is that this will be a year of immense challenge.
PE: The latest ML regulations abide by EU guidelines, is this a matter of necessity or simply a coincidence and you believe this will change post Brexit?
DC: Until 31 January, the UK is still a member of the EU. As such, it was required to implement the 5th Money Laundering Directive into national law by 10 January. Brexit timing uncertainties meant that all of the major preparatory steps for the new regulations were left until absolutely the last minute, including publication of the Gambling Commission’s updated AML guidance.
So there is no question of coincidence here and I see no real possibility of any backtracking once the UK has left the EU. What’s more, during the Brexit transition period (which will last until 31 December 2020), all EU rules and regulations will continue to apply so I expect to see the UK adopt in December this year – at the same time as the remaining EU Member States – the principles embodied in the 6th Money Laundering Directive.
PE: How much of a challenge does the rapid implementation requested by the UKGC require of casino operators in terms of the updated AML guidelines?
DC: The Gambling Commission has acknowledged that affected operators need time to implement changes to their AML/CTF risk assessments, policies, procedures and controls but it has made it clear that it expects them to act promptly and to invest appropriately (if technology is required to accommodate the changes).
Urgent action is therefore required and any operators who have not yet commenced work on this should really get their skates on. The Commission has not specifically highlighted the precise changes it made to its AML guidance document, but you can find on the Clifton Davies website here a marked up a copy of that document, showing those changes highlighted in yellow, together with some accompanying comment.
PE: Could the onus fall on credit card companies and e-wallet providers to ensure that the credit card ban is observed?
DC: Neither credit card companies nor e-wallet providers are regulated by the Gambling Commission so no onus falls on them from a gambling regulatory perspective.
However, the Commission has said that the new licence condition 6.1.2 imposing the ban with effect from 14 April “will impose a responsibility on operators to only accept payments via e-wallets in circumstances where the wallet provider can assure the operator that they can prevent payment for gambling by credit card”.
It therefore urges operators “to make contact with their third-party wallet providers whose payment facilities are made available through the operator’s website or app, to ensure they understand how the wallet provider intends to proceed”.
As a consequence, e-wallet companies will need to work with credit card companies to ensure that the former can “demonstrably prevent the use of credit cards for online gambling through their wallets”.
The three largest e-wallet providers in the gambling market have apparently told the Commission that they can build a solution but smaller providers will need to decide whether to develop their own solution or instead withdraw from the UK gambling market altogether. You can find more information in these respects at paragraphs 3.77 – 3.79 of the Commission’s Consultation Response document.
PE: Where does the blockchain sector fit into the regulations?
DC: It may be thought by some that the credit card ban can be side-stepped by use of cryptocurrency. It’s not as simple as that. In the UK, the Gambling Commission would need to be satisfied that all money-laundering concerns and other risks to the licensing objectives have been adequately addressed before authorising licence-holders to accept payments by such means.
What’s more, the 5th Money Laundering Directive, and hence the national laws of all EU Member States implementing that directive, have added an element of regulation and accountability to cryptocurrencies and those employing blockchain technology to use them. The UK’s Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2019 reflect this.
With effect from 10 January 2020 (when those regulations came into force), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has become the supervisor of UK crypto-asset businesses for AML and CTF purposes.
The Gambling Commission has advised its licensed operators to verify whether any business activities (including where crypto-asset money service business facilities are offered to consumers) fall within the scope of the Regulations and are therefore subject to supervision by the FCA.
More information about the use of crypto-assets or blockchain technology (whether as a currency to be used for gambling, as a way to fund a gambling business or as a means to deliver gambling products) can be found on the Commission’s website here.

The Brecon Mountain Railway was conceived over 30 years ago when a search started to find a site to operate a steam tourist railway using various locomotives and equipment collected from Europe and further afield.
Merthyr Tydfil seemed ideal - located on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park with its beautiful mountain, lake and forest scenery. At one time it was the greatest iron making town in the world and most of the earlier railways used iron rolled by its mills. It also witnessed in 1804 the trial run of the Trevithick locomotive - the first steam railway engine.
Brecon and Merthyr Railway
The site chosen was on the old abandoned Brecon and Merthyr Railway opened originally in 1859 and finally closed in 1964. This Railway fought its way through the Brecon Beacons using steep gradients and the Torpantau tunnel which at 1313-ft above sea level is the highest railway tunnel in Great Britain. The 5.5 miles stretch between Pant and Torpantau seemed suitable but difficulties were soon found. The scrap merchants had not only removed the track but also all the bridge girders and even the manhole covers. The ballast had been taken for road material and no buildings remained except for the shell of the signal box at Pontsticill and the station house which was used as a sheep shelter. It was then discovered that the only part of the railway still in British Rail hands was one bridge abutment which they readily agreed to sell! The remaining land had been sold off and it took between 5 and 20 years to obtain the rest from 12 different landowners. At Pant the old station was not available so adjoining land was purchased for a deviation.
By 1978 the various planning and other consents had been obtained and construction started with the re-building of the Station House and conversion of the adjoining waiting room into a small workshop.
Then came a tin shed for storage and work started on the repair and replacement of the 7 bridges between Pant and Pontsticill. Track laying was commenced in 1979 but delayed for two months whilst a huge landslide was filled with a row of demolished terrace houses from Merthyr Tydfil.
Meanwhile the first carriage had been built at Pontsticill and "Sybil" - a small slate quarry engine from North Wales had been prepared to haul the train.
Track laying was completed late one summer evening in June 1980 and the railway opened to traffic the next day.


Hisense is launching two new budget Android tablets in the US. The company hasn’t officially announced either model yet, but they’re both apparently available a bit early at some Walmart locations.
As expected, it looks like the Hisense Sero 7 Pro is a $149 tablet with an NVIDIA Tegra quad-core processor, a 7 inch, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean software.
Here are the full specs:
- 7 inch, 1280 x 800 IPS display
- 1.3 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor
- Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
- 1GB of RAM
- 8GB of storage
- MicroSD card slot, mini HDMI output, 3.5mm headset jack
- 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, NFC
- Stereo speakers
- 5.0MP rear camera with flash and auto-focus
- 2MP front-facing camera
- 4000mAh battery
- 7.9″ x 5″ x 0.43″
The $149 price tag seems pretty reasonable considering this tablet has the specs of a $199 Google Nexus 7 with half the storage, but with removable storage, HDMI output, and a few other bonus features.
But if you’d rather spend a little less, the $99 Hisense Sero 7 Lite is a tablet with the same screen size, but somewhat less impressive specs, including:
- 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display
- 1.6 GHz dual core processor (sounds like a Rockchip RK3066 to me)
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
- 1GB of RAM
- 4GB of storage
- microSD card, mini HDMI port, 3.5mm headset jack
- 0.3MP front-facing camera
- 802.11b/g/n WiFi
- 3400mAh battery
- 7.9″ x 4.8″ x 0.41″
- 11.6 ounces
In other words, if the Sero 7 Pro is sort of like a cheaper Google Nexus 7, the Sero 7 Lite is a cheaper HP Slate 7.
Both tablets featured the Vudu logo on the box, suggesting they’ll come with the Android app for the online video service preloaded. They’re also Google certified devices, which means they come with the Google Play Store and other apps including YouTube and Gmail.
If you use the Walmart Android app‘s barcode scanner to scan the product codes on these boxes you’ll see confirmation that the store charges $99 for the Hisense Sero 7 Lite and $149 for the Pro model. Unfortunately, as of May 21st, the app doesn’t seem to think the tablets are in stock at any stores.

Two weeks ago, our campus community gathered to commemorate the tragedy of Sept. 11. Hundreds of students, faculty and staff convened on the Plaza for the moving ceremony — and afterward, many of us returned to the pattern of our daily lives with a renewed commitment to doing our part to ensure such a terrible incident will never happen again.
This spirit of commitment – this desire to build bridges of peace and understanding – is at the heart of a yearlong, statewide program being launched this year by Colorado State University and the University of Denver. The two universities are partners in spearheading a statewide dialogue known as, “Bridges to the Future: American History and Values in Light of September 11th.” Our hope with this project is to reinvigorate a sense of civic and social responsibility across our state, to nurture a renaissance in public values and commitment, and to challenge each of us — as individuals and members of a greater society — to examine our role as contributors to our nation’s future.
The “dialogue” itself will take shape in many different settings and through many different types of activities around Colorado this year. Events will include speeches by international leaders, community discussion sessions, film series, collaboration with K-12 students, and much more — and we want to invite all at Colorado State University to take part in this important effort. Detailed information on the entire “Bridges” program is available online at www.bridgestothefuture.us.
Today, our two universities will co-host the “Bridges to the Future” inaugural event at 7:30 p.m. at the University of Denver’s Ritchie Center, 2201 E. Asbury Ave. Former Senator and pioneering Astronaut John Glenn will deliver the keynote address, and Governor Bill Owens and the leaders of CSU and DU will speak about the statewide “Bridges” initiative.
In addition to this kickoff event today, there will be many more opportunities for the CSU community to become involved with “Bridges to the Future” in the months ahead. Our hope in writing this piece today is to encourage student organizations and individuals across our campus to consider ways in which they might explore the “Bridges” themes in the course of their own activities this year. Already, a number of key campus groups have risen to the challenge: the Association of Student Activity Programming Cinema – Cinema CSU – is hosting a new film series on history, values and conflict, in which students and faculty watch important films then spend time discussing and debating them afterward. The students and staff of Service Learning and Volunteer Programs, who host our very successful Cans Around the Oval Food Drive each year, have decided this fall to challenge other colleges and universities around Colorado to join in making the drive a statewide effort – Cans Around Colorado. Many faculty who teach our First Year Seminars and senior capstone courses are also incorporating some of the themes of “Bridges” into their classroom discussions this year. We would like to challenge each of you not only to become actively engaged with “Bridges” activities this year, but also to take time on your own and with friends to discuss those questions this effort is trying to raise: What does it mean to be an American in the 21st century? What are our nation’s shared values, and how do we exercise them in an ever-evolving and complex global community? As citizens of the United States, what responsibilities do we have to our neighbors, both at home and in other countries? Are we living the vision of our founders? As a nation, how do our actions match our rhetoric – and what role do we, as citizens, have in guiding our nation’s behavior? Where are we headed as a nation… and how did we get where we are today? What does our society ‘owe’ its children? Its senior citizens? Those in mid-life?
There are no simple answers to any of these questions, but in raising them, exploring them, and connecting with one another through this yearlong discussion, we are responding to the fundamental aims of the “Bridges” program: to remember, to understand, to renew or reframe our most fundamental public value commitments, and to begin to build bridges to a brighter future.
David Bower is president of the Associated Students of CSU and Albert C. Yates is president of CSU.

Forgotten soldiers of Cyprus campaign will get memorial at last
A monument bearing the names of all 371 soldiers, sailors and airmen killed during four years of bloodshed will be unveiled on Remembrance Day in a military cemetery on the island.
The vast majority of those who died at the hands of Greek-Cypriot terrorists were young men carrying out National Service, some of the last British conscripts to lose their lives in service of their country, but their sacrifice had remained largely unrecognised for 50 years.
The campaign for a memorial to them was highlighted in The Daily Telegraph in April, and drew a magnificent response from readers, whose generosity has enabled the British Cyprus Memorial Trust to press ahead with its plans.

ISLAMABAD, (Pakistan Point News - APP - 2nd Augst,2016) : A seventeen-member Pakistan contingent has departed for Brazil to feature in the Olympic Games 2016, scheduled to be held at Rio de Janeiro from August 5 to 21. "The contingent includes seven athletes and 10 officials," a Pakistan Sports board official told APP on Tuesday. This is Pakistan's smallest ever contingent for Olympics as it is for the first time national hockey team is not featuring in the coveted sports event as it failed to qualify.
Most of the Pakistani athletes earned a chance to represent the country in the multi-sports event through wildcard entry. Judoka Hussain Shah is the only athlete, who made a cut to the event under continental quota. The other athletes to represent the country in the Olympics include swimmers Lianna Swan and Haris Bandey, shooters Ghulam Mustafa and Minahal Sohail and two sprinters. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) allows national Olympic committees of various countries with few or without any athletes to participate in the coveted sports events by offering wild cards to their athletes. A player or a team that has not qualified through the normal competitive channel receives a wildcard entry. In Olympics too, wildcards are offered to countries, whose athletes fail to meet the qualification standards.

Francisco JosöL Goya (Goya y Lucientes Francisco Jose)( The great Spanish painter and engraver, an innovator.)
Comments for Francisco JosöL Goya (Goya y Lucientes Francisco Jose)
Biography Francisco JosöL Goya (Goya y Lucientes Francisco Jose)
Born March 30, 1746, in the mountain village of Fuendetodos in Aragon, the son of a master gilder. When Francisco was 13 years old, the family moved to Zaragoza and the boy was given to an artist's studio Lusa-and-Martinez. There Goya had met with Martin Zapatero, who became his friend.
The first order was an artist at age 17. This was the altar of the parish church in Fuendetodos. At the age of 19, Goya moved to Madrid and took part in the contest, hoping to be accepted into the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. His painting was rejected, and he went to Italy. In 1771 he received the second prize of Parma Academy of Arts and returned to Zaragoza, where he did murals in the church of Nuestra Senora del Pilar.
At this time, Lusa-and-Martö-nez, Francisco Goya introduced Bayeux, a member of the Royal Academy and the court painter of King Charles III. By patronage Baie Goya was commissioned from the Royal Manufactory of Santa Barbara cartoons for tapestries depicting scenes of Spanish life. Goya married Josefa sister Bahia in 1775 and moved to Madrid, where in the period between 1776 and 1791 wrote 45 cartons. Cheerful, idealized scenes of rural life brought the Spanish Goya fame. In 1780 Goya was adopted at the court and painted a portrait of the king, now in the academic style of the Crucifixion and became a member of the Royal Academy. In the same year he moved to Zaragoza, to continue work on the frescoes of the Church of Nuestra Senora del Pilar. However, his paintings did not like the Baja and customers, and Goya was forced to rewrite them in a more formal manner.
Stung by the incident, he returned to Madrid, where he was commissioned to write portraits of the royal family. This was the beginning of fame and prosperity of Goya. He painted a portrait of family Osuna and painted frescoes their private chapel, as well as the walls of their suburban home. In 1786 Goya was appointed vice-director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. In 1789, after the death of Charles III, he became a court painter of the new king, Charles IV. With surprising speed, he wrote to the king and his wife, Queen Maria Luisa. Goya's portraits were completely deprived of flattery, and often their similarity with the original was truly a cruel, but he continued to receive orders, and his popularity grew in the yard. At the same time he wrote the charming portraits of children and beautiful women.
In 1791 Goya became acquainted with the Duchess of Alba, who became his lover and protector. He wrote to her portrait many times, two of the most famous of them - La maja desnuda (c.. 1797) and Mach-dressed (ok. 1802). He also decorated with frescoes her chateau. In 1792-1793 Goya suffered a severe illness, which resulted in lost hearing. During recovery in 1792, Goya began work on a series of etchings Caprichos (completed in 1799), a satire on the political, social and religious orders. In 1798, Charles IV commissioned Goya to paint the dome of his suburban church of San Antonio de la Florida. With amazing speed, sometimes using a sponge tied to the handles of brushes, Goya wrote the scene with more than a thousand characters, depicting St.. Anthony, blessing the sick. In 1800 he built a villa outside of Madrid, which was later called the House of the deaf. He continued to write truthful portraits of the aristocracy, intellectuals and court officials. One of the most candid portraits - a favorite image of the Queen, the Prime Minister of Don Manuel Godoy.
In 1808 Spain was occupied by Napoleon. Goya witnessed the uprising against Napoleon's troops in Madrid and the subsequent repression. After Spain was liberated, he captured these events in the two famous paintings: Mutiny on the Puerto del Sol 2 May 1808 and the shooting of Madrid rebels on the night of May 3, 1808 (both ca. 1814, Madrid, Prado). At the same time, Goya began a series of 87 etchings Disasters of War. When Ferdinand VII returned to the Spanish throne, Goya was still a court painter. His defiant naturalistic portraits of Ferdinand reveal contempt for the new King. Secluded villa, Goya worked on the paintings uprising in Puerto del Sol 2 May 1808 and the shooting of Madrid rebels on the night of May 3, 1808. He continued to do for a series of etchings Disasters of war and began another series of etchings depicting the history of bullfighting in Spain, Tavromahiya. At the same time, Goya painted the walls of his house images of nightmares, he painted portraits of his grandson Mariano, and began the latest, most bitter series of etchings Disparates.
In 1824, 78-year-old artist, unwilling to accept the policy of Ferdinand, went into voluntary exile in France. He joined other Spanish intellectuals who fled to Bordeaux, has mastered the technique of lithography and made a series dedicated to fighting bulls, bulls Bordeaux. Goya died in Bordeaux, April 16, 1828.
Even during his lifetime Goya was considered an outstanding Spanish artists. His contribution to the formation of art 19-20 centuries. huge. He was the first master, who turned in their work to current events. Etchings of Goya, customs, and exposing the evil of his time, influenced by the French artist Honore Daumier. Shining bright colors in the painting and the dramatic effects of light and shade in the schedule influenced the development of Impressionism in France, in particular Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir. Nightmares Goya paintings in the 'House of the deaf' and the full horrors of etchings Disparates had an impact on the German Expressionists.
