They seem to crave it, much like the abused wife who keeps taking her husband back. I do ask how many times a date has been married before. Because I am always right and so is he. Firstly, my teenage son is also a Leo, so I find this a little disconcerting. Asians also include Pacific Islanders.Next
There are definite gender differences on this question: Most currently divorced or widowed men are open to the idea of remarriage, but women in the same circumstances are less likely to be open to the idea. Anyone that has ever had a serial relationship pattern should hide in the corner and keep quiet until they can feel good being single and only then jump into a relationship with the only one that is worthy of affection. Alas from what I know my Ex is one his third marriage now. A good relationship should start out with honesty. I now, listen to what men actually are saying. I go over this kind of stuff a lot more. If I sound bitter, I am not trying to be.Next
If he wants to know tell the truth. The report is divided into four sections: The first focuses on overall changes in the likelihood of remarrying since 1960; the second section examines how the likelihood of remarriage varies for different demographic groups; the third section discusses the demographic and economic profile of remarried adults, compared with adults in their first marriage and presently divorced adults; and the fourth section includes an analysis of newlywed couples that are in a first marriage, compared with newlywed couples that are in a remarriage. Judges, however, rarely punish someone who begins dating — sexually or otherwise — once they have physically separated from their spouse. I have been doing a lot of soul searching about my role in this divorce, and can only conclude we drifted apart. I know this may be difficult to understand people. Overall, about two-in-ten among those who are currently divorced or widowed according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. After a lengthy courtship, Millard, aged 26, and Abigail, aged 27, were married on February 5, 1826.Next
Of course, duality, as with anything to an extreme can be negative. Atleast you know you are capible of love in a marriage. I would be more interested in if they have been introspective enough since then to examine why those relationships failed. It has also been fueled by the overall aging of the population, which not only increases the number of widows and widowers available to remarry, but means people quite simply have more years in which to make, dissolve and remake unions. Made a vow to myself I'd stay single that long and see if I wanted to be married again. Both of my children were born on a cusp. I never made that mistake again.Next
At the time of the marriage, Tyler was already 54 whereas the bride was just 24. No need to be in a hurry, especially at this stage of the game. I love being a leo, and know that it means troublesome dating. He never even knew I was cheating, I always told on myself. During our separation he got upset, and shortly after a phone conversation I got papers in the mail.Next
It is hard to change but we can. At the time of their marriage, Caroline required Fillmore to sign a prenuptial agreement. At the time of their first meeting, Alice was a vivacious and strikingly beautiful girl whom young Roosevelt found it impossible to forget. Some 7% of currently remarried adults are living in poverty, compared with 19% of divorced adults. For instance, married men typically make higher wages than unmarried men. Is not being married more of a red flag than someone who's been divorced at least once? There is more contradictions going on here than in the White House in the last 5 years. I would say multi-divorced is the more of a red flag than never married, but never married can also mean that there is a commitment issue or that there have been failed relationships.Next
Pew Research Center does not take policy positions. Seems like they are more creeped out that I'm almost 35, and never once been married I was with someone for over 7 years just over a year ago , than if I had been married a few times. George's Church of Hanover Square, in London, England, Roosevelt, aged 28, married his second wife, Edith Carow, aged 25. In the end though the marriage proved to be a success with the couple having seven children and Tyler remained married to Julia until his death January 18th 1862. I found this observation rather interesting on two fronts, as I never knew that there was a tendency for Leos to self-destruct in such a way.
I don't necessarily believe in astrology, but I did a research paper in college on this. Yep, unless you're in a place that's very common and is linked to all the rooms, than that's just a coincidence because you're bound to bump into every one at least once or more. I say that because, yes, I was not great in the area of fidelity at that time- I have changed tremendously , but I felt that I needed a break also very selfish, I agree , but I did not want a divorce. Across time this gap has narrowed, as remarriage has risen dramatically among the foreign born, up from 40% in 1960. I married at 18 to a pregnant girl who's, the father ran, mother was going to lock her up.Next
My second marriage was more, I found a great guy, at least I believed he was great in the beginning, I was mid 30's and wanted to be married again. Vows or no vows, both could be a sign of concern. Both could have had the same kind of issues, etc. The trend is moving the other way, however, for younger Americans, with remarriage becoming less prevalent. Is everybody that has had serial relationships exactly the same so we can dismiss them as not fitting into our imagined harmonious world. I wed just a few months shy of my 21st birthday, a Starter Marriage which we talk about in — what did I know? However, this gender gap has narrowed over time because men are now less likely to remarry than in the past, while women are more likely to do so.
But he was not very bothered by my cheating, but I was. Though she was a good person in so many ways. And with that living, we all have made choices good and bad. The number of remarried adults has tripled since 1960, when there were 14 million. You emotional needs need to be met and that isn't what he is saying.Next

As we drove further into the wilderness the tar road turned to gravel. This is always my favourite part of any overland journey. The few other vehicles we saw on the way to the starting camp were covered in red African dust and offered an inciting preview of where we were heading.
We were heading for mud. The adventure tour we were registered for promised lots of it and that’s all it took to make up our minds and book the tour. When friends of ours came back from Fiji last year, the stories and pictures of their quad and motorcycle adventure tour inspired us to join them on their next expedition to Botswana. One that was certain to be crammed full of extreme fun.
With the gear heads as our travel partners we were well set to take on the trail. We helped them get their two quads and 125cc KTM set up at the start camp. As spectators we found it very easy to get involved with the spirit of adrenalin and expectation of adventure. The energy was very contagious. (We had already been instructed on the best make and model to buy for our next trip.)
We found the start camp to be the best place for socialising, with riders of all ages and spectators to make the atmosphere more festive. We were amazed at how well the event was catered by the participants. Not only did the riders have tons of off road vehicles and gear, but the living and cooking gadgets were next level. With technology of today the “roughing it” experience has become a little less rough. The level of comfort was second to none considering we were many miles from any power socket or running tap.
The trails that we travelled penetrate deep into pristine wilderness offering a new world of experiences that brought us closer to the wilder parts of ourselves. As nature enthusiasts we found a renewed sense of what it is to be human. Our spiritual energies were drummed up a beat during a festive drum session was held on one of the overnight stops.
Our guides were super enthusiastic and ready to assist us with information or training on how to ride safely and considerately on the trail. Once we were comfortable and riding well we were taken to a place that can only be described as supreme awesomeness in the mad mud.
This was the highlight for our mates and their son. Some mud with a bit of mud, served with some mud on the side. And for dessert , a little bit of sweet mud. Tearing though ruts and gullies that’ll keep the experienced riders sharp while there is mud for even the most novice of riders like myself. We were experiencing serious envy and wanted our faces to be as muddy as everyone else’s so as not to stand out so much.
Watching the riders zipping and churning through the trail I couldn’t help but feel like this course was designed by mother nature and placed right here in the heart of Southern Africa for the purpose of offering this extreme, high energy, off road adventure.
Botswana holds a special type of energy and visiting there has built phenomenal memories for us to cherish, and we leave knowing that our tour was made especially unique by the adrenaline seeking mud junkies that took us along for a wild ride under the African sky.

Season 12 ‘American Idol’ winner Candice Glover has released a liberating video for her new single, “Break Me.”
The song is an empowering ballad for women who refuse to back down from mistreatment in love and life, and a reminder to follow their hearts.
In the Cory Short-directed clip, Candice triumphantly belts out the song while vignettes of smiling faces of women flash on the screen. In another scene, Glover and a group of women destroy a car with sledgehammers, signifying a release of anger and taking control.
Speaking on the song, Glover told Local Life SC: “I want to tell all the young women out there that whatever you’ve been through, your best days are ahead. We’re all taking back our power. I want to empower women. It’s a coincidence the song came out now. I wrote that song from an authentic part in my heart,” Glover added. “I want to encourage all of the women and men in my hometown to just do it. Follow your dreams. Don’t be afraid.”
Glover plans to release a new album soon, but in the meantime, watch Candice’s empowering video below:

So here’s the first ever review….
The White Hart is about 2 minutes walk from Barnes Bridge station alongside the Thames. First impressions weren’t particularly overwhelming and upon walking through the door it appeared to be deserted apart from a scattering of locals and a family with two borderline ADHD children.
Bar staff were friendly enough though were dressed like they were going to watch ‘the ruggers’ and were talking football nonsense with the obligatory early Saturday regulars. Hitting the first pint with my brother fellow pub aficionado Sam a round set us back a fairly standard £7.50, opting for Young’s special chosen from a rather humble three beer selection.
Generally this place felt a bit crap. It’s in an incredible spot for watching the river and the Oxbridge boat race passes by but it’s tired and drab and trying to be something it’s not. It’s lost in a limbo between being a cozy boozer and a football pub for the ‘hooray Henry’ crowd. It’s notching up a worrying 3 plasma TV’s and a chalk sign in the lav decrees ‘its all about the 6 nations at 3’. Sadly for us it was all about sodding off to another pub.
Overall score was 8/20 though it might do better on a bright Summers day rather than a grizzly and dreary Saturday in February. Next!!

Pardon All 500,000 Non-violent Drug Offenders
0 have signed. Let’s get to 100!
President Trump has asked for people who kneel at professional sport games during the National Anthem to recommend to him for pardons people who have been unfairly treated by the justice system. We, the petitioners, recommend that all 500,000 non-violent drug offenders who are now languishing in prison, unproductively, at huge taxpayer expense, be immediately pardoned. Mass-incarceration of non-violent drug offenders has decimated the black community across our great land, disproportionately to drug use or drug distribution statistical data. By pardoning them all immediately, taxpayers will save billions of dollars annually, families (especially minority ones) will be reunited, our economy will boom by gaining 500,000 new employable citizens, racial justice will receive an unprecedented and one-time historical boost, a MAJOR reason for kneeling at professional sporting games will be removed, and your legacy as a singularly historical President of racial justice, similar to that of Abraham Lincoln, will be a historical fact. A legal and moral precedent for how to do that was seen by Virginia's mass restoration of political rights to ex-felons, en mass, in 2017. Please grant pardons to all 500,000 such inmates immediately. Thank you.
Today: Craig is counting on you

This Is Reality 2000 is a ‘Big Brother’ style interactive zoom gameshow designed to bring together friends in a night of “nostalgic noughties references, videos, trivia and a pumping Y2K – themed soundtrack”.
Razor sharp, engaging and intelligent, there is certainly plenty to enjoy in Christopher Adams’ thriller Tumulus that effectively explores issues such as addiction and loneliness as the story of an unexplained death unfolds.
With less than a week to go before the 2019 VAULT Festival opens, I wade my way through the catalogue and come up with 20 shows I think you should catch – in their own words.
Another classic drunken caper for the Shit-faced Showtime team, showing Dickens how it should’ve been done – just watch out for flying sausages…
A same tired storyline is given a jolt of electricity in playwright Christopher Adams’ Tumulus at Vault Festival.
The plot kicks off with disarming simplicity. Alastair is a rich fortysomething legal eagle, married to Antonia, who is a housewife. They live in a beautiful London house with Jack, one of their three sons, who has a learning disability.
n Sarah Page’s production of Punts, the roles played by the two women are not the stereotypical ones we expect. This is a show about acceptance and tolerance, wrapped up in a somewhat comical storyline, written with a keen eye that cuts away at the bullshit of life’s fake pleasantries.

A GOLDEN eagle has been found shot and ‘barely alive’ near the Southern Upland Way in Dumfriesshire.
RSPB Scotland condemned the shooting of the iconic bird of prey, which was found by a walker near the well known Scottish route.
Scottish SPCA inspectors took the adult male eagle to the charity’s new rehabilitation centre near Alloa where it is undergoing treatment.
They said it is too early to tell whether the bird, which was discovered on a grouse moor near Wanlockhead at the weekend, will survive its injuries.
Examination by vets showed shotgun pellets had caused injuries to the bird’s tail muscles and one of its wings.
The bird also had extensive damage to its feathers, suggesting that it had been floundering on the ground for some time and had been unable to feed.
The incident is the latest in a spate of attacks on golden eagles in Scotland.
As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Dans Les Rues is a brand with an original and innovative attitude founded by Martina Mancini and Giorgio Ciccone, two creative and complementary personalities. The brand tells a story of passion, generosity and sharing and represents a success that has been able to immediately win the admiration of the most important international celebrities.
How was Dans Les Rues born?
Giorgio: Dans Les Rues was born from the meeting between Martina and me, one year ago. Martina and I have two completely different backgrounds. I have always worked in the fashion industry, in particular in the digital field. I was one of the first digital editors in Italy, and I was in charge of creative and artistic direction, right up to the product. One of the most important collaborations I made lately was with Converse: I designed a shoe for them. But since I was a child, I have always had a strong passion for jewelry. Every year, for my birthday, my father gives me a jewel. And I am still deeply fond of the ring he gave me the day I was born.
Martina: I studied Architecture. Since I was a child, I have always been keen on the world of jewelry. During university, I decided to create something of my own, and I created my first small collection. But the time was not yet ripe, so I stopped and continued to deepen my studies on the field. I resumed the project after three years. As a matter of fact, Dans Les Rues already existed before Giorgio and I met, but it was still only a dream. Subsequently, from our meeting, the brand’s reality, its vision and its essence were born. I contacted Giorgio during the pandemic, because I was fascinated by his creativity, and a strong feeling was born between us. The pandemic situation united us and Dans Les Rues was born out of this meeting.
Giorgio: Yes, we discovered that we had a strong affinity. Moreover, our paths had led us to develop different and complementary skills. Martina, besides having strong skills in design thanks to her creativity, knew the dynamics of production very well and was very well qualified in the study of materials and the analysis of the object’s functionality. Thanks to my previous experiences, I had acquired strategic and creative branding skills. Combining these competencies, we created Dans Les Rues. We wanted to develop a product that would be strong and accessible to the market, and that would be placed in a new segment, somewhere between high jewelry and accessories. And we succeeded in creating a real trend.
What are your values?
Martina: Our values are, first of all, friendship, sharing and mutual support. And then, a fundamental value is quality, both of the product and the packaging.
What are the inspirations for your creations?
Giorgio: The inspirations for our jewelry come from our childhood memories, from the world of cartoons such as Polly Pocket or Sailor Moon, and from observing what surrounds us. For my 30th birthday, I asked my father to give me a heart-shaped piece of jewelry. And then I reflected and thought: “We’ll design it.” (this is how the first Dans Les Rues heart-shaped ring was born, which soon became one of the most iconic rings in the world).
What are the distinctive materials and processes of your jewelry?
Martina: Our products are made of silver and then bathed in gold. We use the galvanic cataphoresis technique and the lacquering technique, which lend the jewelry the bright, vibrant colors that characterise our brand. We also use the highest quality of zircons, the cubic zirconia.
Your creations have immediately won over the most important international celebrities.
Giorgio: In many years of working in this field, I think I have “sown” a lot of affection and I am happy to have received so much support when we launched Dans Les Rues. Many international celebrities gave us great visibility from the very beginning of the brand, and it happened spontaneously. Even today, many important names choose to wear Dans Les Rues and this is a great strength for us.
Is there a jewel you are particularly fond of?
Martina: I am particularly fond of the heart of the Heart Boom Boom collection. I call it my first love. I remember the moment we created it, it has great meaning for me. Also, I think it is very powerful from an aesthetic point of view.
Giorgio: The heart has a great emotional value for both of us. At the moment… I can’t tear myself away from the Upho earrings.
How do you imagine the target person of Dans Les Rues?
Martina: Dans Les Rues is aimed at a genderless audience who love to follow the trends of the moment and feel effortlessly cool and sexy. Our clients’ style is effortlessly chic. They love to enhance themselves with colorful jewelry with a strong personality. We love the fact that Dans Les Rues jewelry is worn by very young people, as well as mature people because in the end of the day, the characteristics of those who wear our jewelry are ageless.
What is your distribution strategy?
Giorgio: Online sales on our e-commerce are very important to us. In addition, we are creating a distribution network that identifies and enhances Dans Les Rues. We work with several multi-brand stores and department stores, which we select very carefully. As far as multi-brand stores are concerned, we do not distribute our products in traditional jewelry shops, unless they grant us a specific positioning, but we mainly select fashion shops that also deal with jewelry. We have developed a strategy whereby we provide each retailer in the same city with a different selection of products, based above all on the variety of colors. With the most important department stores, which are internationally known, we create exclusive ad hoc collections.
What do you wish for the future of Dans Les Rues?
Giorgio: Our wish is that Dans Les Rues will continue to grow in the future following the same values that led us to its establishment. We would like to be more and more active in the fashion world, combining the world of jewelry with the world of fashion. One of our dreams is to increasingly expand the project to other product categories and open our mono-brand stores.

L'Arche Metro Richmond Community Life Group (CLG)
What is the CLG?
A unique aspect of L’Arche Metro Richmond is our wide community of friends established over almost 10 years and the vibrant community life that we share.
"Friends of L’Arche" are persons with and without disabilities who share L’Arche values and engage one another on a regular basis. All are welcome. “Core Friends,” friends with disabilities, and loved ones enjoy a rich Community Life with luncheons, picnics, charity outreach, worship, sporting events, and celebrations of all kinds. More importantly, our Community Life promotes relationships, community, support networks, faith sharing, and personal growth. Core Friends share their gifts of welcoming, faith, trust, and friendship to build a more compassionate world, one heart at a time.
Embracing Those Waiting for Services from the State
Government does not reimburse our Community Life, yet we will continue to provide this support. As we add government-regulated supports and L'Arche homes, our Community Life will enhance life for all.
The Commonwealth of Virginia Medicaid Waiver waiting list is extensive, and many in need receive no supports. Offering a Community Life for friends on the wait list helps alleviate a critical need and broadens our impact.
Re-Imagining Our Community Life Group - Core Friend Leadership
L'Arche Metro Richmond is re-imagining our Community Life Group and our "Core Friends," friends with disabilities who participate with L’Arche, will lead overall program planning as well as planning specific events with the help of sponsors as appropriate.
What the Community Life Group Does Now
Currently, we have two routine events each month - our Second Sunday Luncheon and Story Time Worship. In addition, we have special events such as bowling, joint worship, charity days, ball games (spectator and playing), picnics, and more.
For CLG meetings and events, see the listing on our home page. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page. To join our email list to receive invitations and information, please email firstname.lastname@example.org.


Quarq SRAM Red DZero Power Meter Crank
As part of the SRAM family, Quarq's reputation for quality, light weight and cutting edge data collection has been well earned, and direct product alignment for their DZero power meter crank with the Red drivetrain is a no brainer. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology and ANT+ wireless data transfer choices delivers more options and simple smartphone direct set-up. The Qalvin BLE app delivers wireless firmware updates, diagnostics, power meter zeroing and calibration, and is equally useful for home or bike shop service, and riders of any level. You can even change the power meter’s slope using the built-in calibration routines. It is great to have such a simple and useful interface for these processes.
The powermeter itself is housed in a CNC machined aluminum spider that is mated to a lightweight Red Exogram™ Hollow Carbon crank arm with one of several spindle/bottom bracket set-ups (ex. GXP, BB30, BB386EVO, etc). The combination was developed for complete integration. The stiffness and power transfer of the crankset is excellent, and there is zero power loss from the spider design. SRAM's Red and other (made to SRAM spec) 5- bolt 11-speed hidden bolt chainrings (not included) will bolt right on the spider via the same hardware. The OmniCal calibration system ensures that you can install and change rings without impacting the power meter's overall calibration. The alignment of the five arm design keeps the Quarq battery compartment completely accessible on the front of the crankset, just above the arm. ANT+ or BLE transmission is verified by LED for simple, clear operation, and Quarq makes the ANT+ ID visible to ensure proper connection.
Quarq has installed their AxCad™ accelerometer, which eliminates the need for a cadence magnet. Given the shape and size of the spider, many frames formerly had difficulty accommodating the unit and the magnet. Now the set-up is cleaner and you have more frame clearance. AxCad is a highly reliable measure of cadence while pedaling, and reacts quickly to changes and stoppage. Many power meter manufacturers have struggled to address temperature variation, but the engineers developed new sensors and firmware, called 10K™ temperature compensation, that eliminates temperature effects on power measurement through more frequent, more accurate temperature readings throughout the pedal stroke. Quarq considers the DZero to be accurate in all conditions to within +/- 1.5%, placing it among the most accurate power meters on the market.
ANT+ wireless transmission gives you maximum flexibility in your choice of head units from Garmin, PowerTap, Lezyne, and so on. Or you can choose BLE capable units or smartphones. Syncing your DZero is simple, as is your pre-ride zeroing. All of the usual power measurement metrics are measured and calculated for your head unit and can be downloaded or transferred to your favorite training and analysis programs, such as Training Peaks, Strava, and Golden Cheetah. The widely available CR2032 battery generally delivers 300 hours of transmission before replacement is necessary, so you won't have to worry about losing data. Quarq power meters have an IPX7 waterproof rating, so you ride in the rain all you want. They feature a 2-year warranty, free firmware updates, and strong Quarq-direct support.
The bottom line is that once you know the the bottom bracket configuration for your frameset, you can set yourself up with the appropriate DZero, Your SRAM 11-speed double drivetrain will love the RED Quarq DZero Power Meter Crank. You make no sacrifices in shifting quality or performance and get one of the most accurate power meters available. The 580-620 gram crank weight is competitively light and stiff, so again, no sacrifices.
- Spider-based, BLE & ANT+ powermeter GXP crank designed to integrate with SRAM 11-speed road chainrings with Hidden Bolt (HB) only (no rings)
- Red-level Exogram™ Hollow Carbon crank arms, GXP spindle, and CNC aluminum spider unit supplied
- Compatible SRAM 11s HB chainrings ensure the chain derailment pin aligns with the crankarm
- Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology and ANT+ wireless data transfer
- 10K™ temperature compensation eliminates effect on power measurement
- AxCad™ accelerometer cadence eliminates the need for a magnet
- LED indicator and visible ANT+ ID streamline installation and operation
- OmniCal™ means you can change chainrings without affecting accuracy
- Free firmware upgrades with the Quarq Qalvin BLE app
- Accuracy: +/- 1.5%
- IPX7 waterproof rating
- CR2032 battery provides 300 hours of riding time, external access for replacement
- Bottom bracket types: GXP road(stepped 24/22mm), BB30
- Q-factor: 145mm
- Spider options: 110 BCD, 130 BCD
- Crank length options: 170mm, 172.5mm, 175mm

St Moritz is incredibly picturesque in both summer and winter
St Moritz, which has hosted the Winter Olympics twice, offers world-class skiing
“These are just some of the ski areas to be discovered in the Engadin Valley,” Zeuke says. “With some 350km (217 miles) of slopes to explore, you’ll never be stuck for options – and there’s always a new challenge to take on. The Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains is located right next to the cable car taking you up to the skiing area of Corviglia and from skiing area Corvatsch there is a valley slope taking you right back to the hotel.”
Go tobogganing in St Moritz, where it’s about amazing views and the adrenaline rush
“There are several toboggan runs to discover in the region, and if you have never jumped in a toboggan before, you will find it is just as much fun as it looks,” Zeuke says. “This run is the fastest in the region, and offers 20 curves and a hair-raising 705m vertical drop as it travels through pine larch forests – fantastic for thrill-seekers, and one run won’t be enough! It is easily accessible via funicular railway, and the panoramic views of the Upper Engadin are well worth the trip too.”
Find water sports aplenty in St Moritz during summer
“Make the most of the fantastic Maloja winds and try your hand at kiting, surfing or sailing during your stay,” Zeuke says. “Lake Silvaplana offers some truly great conditions for those keen to get on the water, and is a best-loved location for water sport enthusiasts.”
St Moritz offers top-notch shopping and features boutiques from world-class brands
“It’s a small village with big brands,” Zeuke defines St Moritz as. “Via Serlas is St. Moritz’s answer to Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse or Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles – Just on a smaller scale. From Jimmy Choo and Gucci to Prada, our stylish shopping boulevard features not only the world’s top fashion names but also dazzling gems, stylish designer furniture, exquisite wines and a wide selection of delicacies.”
Winter wonderland: take a sleigh ride in St Moritz
“There is no better way to experience the snow-covered splendor and beauty of St. Moritz, than from a comfort of a horse-drawn sleigh,” Zeuke says. “Enjoy the breathtaking vistas with the ambience of the horses’ hooves lingering in the background.”
The Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains in St Moritz is steeped in history
The Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains is one of the world’s oldest hotels, dating back to 1864. Here you will find 184 comfortable rooms and suites, 27 luxury residences, three gourmet restaurants, a day spa and in the winter, a ski school.
When it comes to accommodation, leading the way are the prestigious tower suites of Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains, which are located in the two hallmark towers which give this grand building the appearance of a sleek northern Mediterranean palace. The two-bedroom 120-square-metre suite extends over three floors, offering a separate living room on the third floor with 360-degree views, as well as a dining room and lounge area.
A grand deluxe room at the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains in St Moritz
Carefully selected stylistic elements of the Engadin valley and the chalet-style decor create a cosy yet elegant look, while historical photo motifs tell of the initial blossoming Alpine lifestyle. The highlight of this suite is a spacious rooftop terrace with views to the mountain peaks of the Engadin as well as to the chic Alps resort of St Moritz.
The brilliant breakfast buffet at Les Saisons
On the eating and drinking front, start your day off at restaurant Les Saisons, which offers one of the best breakfast buffets in not just St Moritz, but all of Switzerland. The buffet features meats, cheeses, eggs, yoghurt, pastries, coffee and champagne served up to the music of the grand piano that fills this historic room of the hotel.

I created a parallax terrain shader which blends several parllax maps. It is working great in JME3. Now I added the the shader into JMP so I can check if it would work for the artists. The test left me with some questions.
You can see the behavior at the video. It shows the JME scene,everything normal. At minute 1 I switch to JMP where you can see the strange shifting of textures while the blue triangles move just slightly. Thereafter I delete my directional light where the terrain blurs, turning the scene light on and off creates strange artifacts, the terrain looks completely blured.
- what light is created when activating the light in scene viewer? is it possible to change the light parameters?
- anybody has a clue why the terrain seems to move in JMP but not in JME?
- I had to add a directional light to have the terrain display something besides blured textures, removing that light, or disabeling the scene light made the terrain blury. The parameters for the DL in JME and JMP were the same, the JME scene just needed one DL to display the textures.
I used the terrain demo height based terrain in jme, in jmp I exported a terrain from blender (.obj) and converted it into jme format then genrated tangents) There I had the idea to have a look at the mesh but when displaying it I have not found anything about what the mesh is composed of (vertex, normals, uv’s). Could you please add this to the mesh parameters display in JMP?
The shader will be avaliable to anyone, as soon as I have changed it to not rely on 4 terrain textures but anything from 1-4.
Any suggestions about this strange behavior in JMP is welcome, I’ll try to export my scene from jme and import it into jmp to just get sure it has nothing to do with the terrain.
