Loved the pool which is surrounded by lovely tall trees and has a fantastic patio with lounges, beds, tables, heat lamps. Also there is a poolside snack bar serving gourmet snacks and cocktails. The hotel decor is very modern, functional and well designed. Service was great. Highly recommended especially if you’re going to Universal Studios which is close by.

Georgeous, familiar hotel. Retro chick style!
Very kid friendly with pool area, movies at the pool and good food and cocktails. They offer a free bus ride every hour to the Universal Studios.

Desert chic vibe with mid century modern decor! This newly renovated hotel has such a cozy, inviting feel to it. Even the gift shop offered up high end travel accessories or household items like cookbooks or serving utensils and was not your typical hotel gift shop. There's a fitness center with yoga classes on site and a complimentary shuttle to Universal Studios. The heated pool and jaccuzzi area will transport you outside of the hustle and bustle of the city while it's location gives you easy access (by car) to all the great things L.A has to offer.

Go BoHo in NoHo at this former Holiday Inn founded by actress Beverly (not Judy) Garland, which underwent a $20-million transformation in 2014 that glammed-up the namesake property to its Hollywood roots. The mid-century modern redesign has a retro-chic-vibe that feels like Palm Springs (without the dry heat, old people). The updated rooms look new, yet feel cozy, but the real reason to stay here are the extra touches: full gym with free personal training, “dive-in” movie screenings by the splashy pool, classy bar and restaurant. Add all that with an attentive staff across a tranquil seven-acre setting and you have an urban oasis ideal for families, tour groups, couples or even locals looking to sneak away.

Named Holiday Inn but this holiday is (or was?) actually Beverly Garland. It still has its boutique hotel feel that sets it apart from a standard Holiday Inn. Stayed here for 2 nights on the weekend for a short trip. The location is good if you need a place near Hollywood Bowl, Universal Studios, Hollywood Walk of Fame and many other North Hollywood attractions. They have shuttle service, free wi-fi, on property restaurant, pool, spa and many other standard amenities. No problem with the service. Check in was easy and the staff was courteous and efficient.

Room was quite small. You really don't get a lot of space to roam around but they do have a nice cozy balcony. The bed and pillows were reasonably comfortable. Because of the location right next to the highway, the room could get noisy. I didn't have trouble falling asleep but I suspect some might. Try to get a room facing away from the highway if you get bothered by constant background noise.

This hotel is very well located near many of Hollywood's main attractions, and is also great for families. The KidSuites have a special area just for the youngest members of the family, equipped with bunk beds and their own TV and DVD player.

First to Review

This place has been her FOREVER. Lol! But they've just remodeled their rooms about two years ago so the rooms in the back "tower" are actually pretty nice and stylish. The rates are reasonable for the area, but not cheap. The restaurant is ok, not great. It's convenient for the 101 and 134 freeways. Near Universal Studios but not as expensive as some of the hotels on the hill.

Needs upgrading

Hello World. Revising a Collection

28.04.2018 to 26.08.2018
Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin

„Hello World. Revising a Collection“ is a critical inquiry into the collection of the Nationalgalerie and its predominantly Western focus: What could the collection look like today, had an understanding characterised its concept of art, and consequently also its genesis, that was more open to the world? How might the canon and the art historical narratives themselves have changed through a widening and multiplication of perspectives? With these questions as starting points, the exhibition unfolds in 13 thematic chapters as a many-voiced collaboration of internal and external curators, encompassing the whole exhibition space of the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin.

The collection is the foundation of a museum, which itself is shaped by contingent political and cultural conditions. As an institution, the Nationalgalerie of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin today encompasses five museums: Alte Nationalgalerie, Neue Nationalgalerie, Museum Berggruen, Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg and Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin. Founded in 1861, its extensive holdings date from the late eighteenth century to the present and reflect the ups and downs over this period. The collection had many of its artworks classified as “degenerate” by the Nazis, a verdict which inevitably led to their removal or destruction. Germany’s division after World War II also left its traces: while the Nationalgalerie in the west of Berlin shifted its attention to Western European and North American art, the Nationalgalerie in the eastern part of the city concentrated on German art.

The exhibition “Hello World” aims to reflect the character of the collection, marked by these complexities and multiple ruptures. Instead of constructing a linear development of history of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art, works of the collection provide points of departure for thirteen narratives, which range from the retracing of vestiges of history to the associative intertwinement of thought lines and pictorial worlds. The exhibition focuses on moments of transcultural exchange, artistic collaboration and border-crossings that become apparent through figures such as Marta Minujin, Tomoyoshi Murayama, Wolfgang Paalen, Walter Spies, Rabindranath Tagore or Heinrich Vogeler. It offers insight into the processes of appropriation and transformation which inform ideas, attitudes and objects. It alludes to both historical museum concepts and current, future-oriented museum models. It presents alternative and hybrid forms of artistic production, scrutinises the blind spots in traditional historiography as well as the consequences of colonialism and underscores the relationships which are capable of accelerating the deconstruction of the Western canon. And it asks the question: How can the Nationalgalerie further develop the pluri-vocal curatorial concepts introduced in the exhibition in order to do justice to worldwide artistic exchange?

More than 200 works from the holdings of the Nationalgalerie are supplemented with c. 150 works on loan from other collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz, including the Ethnologisches Museum, Kunstbibliothek, Kupferstichkabinett, Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Zentralarchiv, the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut and the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. In addition, 400 artworks, magazines and documents are presented in the exhibition from other national and international collections. All in all, the show features works by more than 250 artists.

The exhibition was developed by Udo Kittelmann with Sven Beckstette, Daniela Bystron, Jenny Dirksen, Anna-Catharina Gebbers, Gabriele Knapstein, Melanie Roumiguière and Nina Schallenberg for the Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, with contributions from guest curators Zdenka Badovinac, Eugen Blume, Clémentine Deliss, Natasha Ginwala and Azu Nwagbogu.

“Hello World” comprises an extensive public programme with performances, workshops, discussions, concerts, artist talks and tours. An Unfinished Glossary structures the events according to 11 concepts that offer alternative ways of accessing the exhibition. In summer 2018, Nationalgalerie and Hirmer Verlag are publishing an exhibition catalogue in English and German language versions.

A temporary exhibition by the Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation as part of its Global Museum initiative.

Balaji Dental & Craniofacial Hospital

Balaji Dental ISO 9001:2008
Clinic Balaji Dental

Bookmark and Share

At Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, we aim at providing the highest level of quality care using state-of-the-art technology in a convenient and comfortable setting.

Operation Theatres
Our twin operation theatres are equipped with ultra-modern equipments for the safety of our patients. We have an infection free zone in our operation theatres to cater to dental and facial surgery needs. We follow strict infection control measures and microbiological monitoring protocols.

Our operation theatres are equipped with the latest and safest machines including advanced fiberoptic endoscope – a sophisticated anesthesia administration method. Some patients have very limited mouth opening either due to Craniofacial defects, very small jaws or retruded chins. Such patients cannot be subjected to general anesthesia in the traditional way. The flexible Fiberoptic Intubation Endoscope (FFI) is a boon in such instances.

FFI is a most powerful technique for efficient easy intubation of "difficult laryngoscopy" patients otherwise impossible to intubate during general anesthesia.

Patient Rooms
 Our hospital is deeply committed to highest standard of excellence. For the privacy and convenience of our surgery patients we have private rooms only, replete with all facilities and comfort. Each floor has a desk staffed by trained, dedicated nurses, attendants and round-the-clock doctors. The hospital is meticulously cleaned frequently throughout the day and hence eliminating any chances of infection.

Diagnostic Laboratory
We have a comprehensive range of diagnostic services in hematology, biochemistry, microbiology and anatomic pathology including surgical pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Our advanced diagnostic facility includes fully automated biochemical analyzer from Daytona, England, Sysmex cell counter, Japan and Coagulation analyzer from Spain. Fully automated immunology analyser from Minividas, France has been added to our set up. Our hospital’s diagnostic division houses cutting-edge precision equipments conforming to accredited standards.

Computerized Radiography.
Our high definition digital X-ray imaging greatly reduces radiation exposure compared to the conventional X - rays film technique. The centralized OPG and RVG facility in our center is constantly upgraded for precision, accuracy and reliability. Digital radiography also decreases cost, eliminates film processing and gets images instantly which are archived permanently in patients’ medical records and our database.

The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology, the latest concept and the ultimate in orofacial imaging has been integrated into our facility. This cutting-edge scanning technology is a boon for diagnosis & treatment planning in dental implants and maxillofacial surgeries.

In-house Dental Laboratory
Our hospital is equipped with a modern, state-of-the-art prosthodontic ceramic laboratory with the latest Ceramic Programat furnaces and the Ivoclar Vivadent Europe has been established. This ensures prompt delivery of the dental prosthesis to our patients at the same time ensuring strict quality control. Our experienced technicians are updated regularly and on par with current dental lab technologies followed globally.

Trauma Care
We have 24-hour emergency service including accident and facial trauma care and ambulance service is available on call.

Our round-the-clock pharmacy is situated within the hospital complex.

Conference hall
Our 200 seater auditorium complete with video conferencing facilities and audiovisual equipment is ideally suited for conducting national and international meets. Our hospital has been host to numerous international conferences and workshops related to Distraction osteogenesis, Cleft lip and palate repair. We conduct at least one Continuing Dental Education program every month.

Recommended Online Resources

US History / US Government: Religion versus Equality?

This toolkit reminds history and government teachers that they can—and should—teach with confidence about religious freedom and how it can come into conflict with other rights.

It’s important to study the history of religious freedom from a legal perspective. In your classroom, you can point to the U.S. Supreme Court cases and legislation mentioned in “Religion versus Equality?

The activities in this toolkit engage students in understanding primary sources and recognizing patterns and trends across time. The activities culminate with students evaluating how some religious freedom claims are wrapped up in the backlash against the advancement of LGBT rights.

Essential Questions

  1. How has the right to freedom of religion come into conflict with other rights in the United States?
  2. How has the U.S. Supreme Court resolved conflicts around religious freedom and other rights in the past?
  3. How are claims for religious freedom being used to limit the advancement of LGBT rights?

To see the activities, check out the online toolkit from Teaching Tolerance.

NEW: Interactive U.S. Constitution!

On this site, constitutional experts interact with each other to explore the Constitution’s history and what it means today. For each provision of the Constitution, scholars of different perspectives discuss what they agree upon, and what they disagree about. These experts were selected with the guidance of leaders of two prominent constitutional law organizations—The American Constitution Society and The Federalist Society. This project is sponsored by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

Nike SB Challenge Court (Gino Iannucci)

Date: August 22 2012

By: Sneaker Freaker

It kind of makes sense that Superbrat John McEnroe would inspire a skate shoe. Rough and tough, things always got a little rad when he ripped up centre court. Nike skater Gino Iannucci has adopted McEnroe's Challenge Court as his new signature shoe, subtly tweaking it with a slimmer profile, softer outsole and a cushy Lunarlon crash pad. As Iannucci puts it, ‘the shoe was ready to go SB back in '84.' Check out the cool vid below that sees Iannucci skate from Queens to Times Square where he recreates McEnroe's classic ‘Rebel Without a Cause' poster pose. There's also a park bench face-off with a certain crotchety old timer! Look out for the Nike SB Challenge Court at select outlets on August 23rd.

Low Lands Aim High, Barca the Richest

* Plans for a European Super League never seem to go away but a Low Countries top division could begin as early as 2025.

Representatives of 11 clubs met in Eindhoven last week and Deloitte estimate TV revenue from the new competition could be up to five times the current domestic models.

The idea is for an 18-team league of ten Dutch and eight Belgian sides with promotion and relegation from the two nations' second divisions.

The idea of an Atlantic League featuring the best of Belgium, Holland, Portugal and Scotland surfaced twenty years ago and was discussed as recently as 2016, with Scandinavia's top teams party to discussions.

If course UEFA would have to agree but since existing competitions offer those nations's clubs slim pickings, it seems they would have a strong case.

Placating them by offering more guaranteed Champions League places is perhaps the only way to stop the plans in their tracks.

Money talks ultimately and breakaways have happened in many sports including football.

* Speaking of Deloitte, the accountancy firm's annual Football Money League was published this month and showed Spain's big two are the biggest money makers in the sport.

Barcelona generated £841 million last season, clearly ahead of Real Madrid's £757 million. Manchester United despite their on-field travails, came in third on £712 million.

Naming the top 20 richest clubs would make a tricky quiz question, especially as it includes Everton, Schalke and West Ham United.

Death of the Snake Man

One of the stars of the golden age of Dutch football Rob Rensenbrink has died aged 72.

A World Cup finalist in 1974 and '78, as well as a legendary striker for Anderlecht, he is perhaps best remembered for hitting the Argentine post in the last minute of the 1978 World Cup Final with the score at 2:2.

Holland went on to lose in extra-time and the slender Amsterdammer, nicknamed the Snake Man, missed his chance to win the Golden Boot and give the Dutch their longed-for first World Cup.

He had played the first 45 minutes of Oranje's greatest loss - their heartbreaking 2-1 loss to West Germany in the 1974 World Cup final, before being substituted for a lack of fitness.

With Anderlecht he won the Belgian League and European Cup Winners Cup twice, against West Ham in 1976 and Austria Vienna two years later.

Rensenbrink was a rangy forward/winger who despite his undoubted ball skills and scoring ability lived somewhat in the shadow of Johann Cruyff and Piet Keizer for his country, scoring 14 goals in 46 games.

Anderlecht teammate Jan Mulder penned a memorable tribute to the Snake Man in David Winner's wonderful lovesong to Dutch football, Brilliant Orange:

"Some players have that. La beaute de geste they call it, the splendour of the gesture...He was only kicking a ball but I was moved to tears...it's art, not art but something more beautiful, more precise, it's like handwriting. He had beautiful handwriting, all with the left foot."

In addition to his nine seasons with Anderlecht he also played for Club Brugge, Toulouse and the Portland Timbers as well as DWS in his native land.

Valverde sacked Setién appointed

A day after Xavi spurned the job, Barcelona have sensationally sacked manager Ernesto Valverde and appointed the relative unknown Quique Setién in his place.

Valverde took training this morning for the last time although he was not informed of his fate until the afternoon board meeting with president Jose Bartomeu. Setién was announced this evening as his replacement.

Camp Nou

The 61-year old played over 300 times for his hometown club Racing Santander and was in the Spain squad for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. He has managed seven clubs, most recently Real Betis the season before last.

The club statement made a point of showing the somewhat leftfield choice fitted the bill for his long-confessed admiration for the Barça way of playing:

"Throughout his career he has been a proponent of possession-based attacking football that has been attractive to fans," it said.

Valverde leaves the Catalan giants with two league titles, a Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup on his CV and a 66% win ratio.

Setién enters the madhouse on Tuesday with a public presentation at 1pm GMT, the sixth head coach at the Camp Nou in seven years.

Xavi says no to the Camp Nou, for now

Barcelona are in another 'crisis' after a disastrous trip to the Middle East.

In another desperate attempt to challenge English football's global appeal, La Liga had organised this year's Spanish Super Cup as a mini-tournament in Saudi Arabia, but the desired clasico showdown between Spain's big two failed to materialise as Barca were knocked out by Atletico Madrid in the semi-final.

Camp Nou
Camp Nou

The Blaugrana then made a cack-handed attempt to swiftly replace manager Ernesto Valverde with former club favourite Xavi, a change which was reported as a fait accompli by many media outlets this morning, before the news filtered through that Xavi, currently coaching Al Sadd in Qatar, had said no.

Were the club seriously planning to fly back to Spain with a different manager?

Xavi will probably be coach at the Camp Nou in time for next season. Could not the Catalans have waited until then and kept their dignity? Maybe they did and in planning for the future could not have missed the chance to speak to their former midfielder in person since they were in the Middle East for a few days, while checking on the recuperation of striker Ousmane Dembele as well.

According to club sources, Sunday's meeting between Xavi, Barca's CEO Oscar Grau and sporting director Eric Abidal was merely, "de cortesia" - a courtesy call, while Xavi reiterated his respect for Valverde and his current employers while saying they had talked about "many things". But this was clearly an attempt to sound him out for the job at the very least.

Camp Nou
Camp Nou

Until recently another old boy Ronald Koeman, currently manager of the Netherlands, was supposed to be a shoe-in for the hot seat, while rumours are growing that the currently unemployed Mauricio Pocchettino could pip both him and Xavi to the job.

Poor old Valverde. His contract expires in the summer anyway so was it too much to expect some respect until then for a man who has won the league the past two campaigns, is top of the league this campaign and is still in the Champions League? Bravo ex-Barca managers Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola for leaping to his defence tonight.

At any other club, with the exception perhaps of Real Madrid, that record would mean the manager would be in no danger of an imminent sacking, but as ex-blaugrana striker Gary Lineker said of the club to Bobby Robson, who himself was hired under false pretences at the Camp Nou before being ceremoniously sacked, "That place is a madhouse".

As if the gods had got wind of this latest hubris, they not only made Barca throw away a 2-1 lead in the semi-final to go home and let their arch rivals lift the trophy, but also sent an injury to Luis Suarez, which will keep him out of action for the next four months.

Barcelona is a mess de un club tonight.

Bielsa's Boys Shine in Arsenal Outing

FA Cup Arsenal v Leeds

The F.A. Cup might have lost its sheen some time ago but at least it gives us a chance to see teams from different divisions crossing swords.

Fans of clubs who draw an opponent from a different division still get excited, even if the big boys show up with nine changes or the U-21 team.

Last night's Arsenal v Leeds tie was a treat for terrestrial viewers, a first chance for many to see Marcelo Bielsa's Championship-leading outfit rattle the doors of the top flight before it flies too far out of reach.

And fascinating it indeed was to see how the away side from the lower league outplayed their Premier hosts for 45 minutes, before succumbing by a goal in the second period, perhaps inevitably because they had failed to translate their swarming and swirling around the Arsenal box early on into net contacts.

Outstanding Championship performers often impress on their Premier League debuts, particularly when their playing system is well-honed. Once the element of surprise has gone though, second season syndrome frequently kills off their blooming.

On the evidence of last night at Ashburton Grove, Leeds will be a rich addition to England's top division, bringing a distinctive running style from a storied manager.

Like the Liverpool v Everton clash a day earlier, Gunners v Whites was a real game of two halves, with the stats confirming a complete turnaround after the break.

Leeds outmoved, outpassed, outran, outshot and outthought Arsenal in the first half and despite being outwitted in the end by Mikel Arteta's interval team-talk, which should go down as one of the most effective halftime hairdryers ever, they certainly won the neutrals over.

We are eager to see one of England's most famous sides and one of world soccer's most renowned coaches in the Premier League next season.

Who's in Who's Out?

Swansea - From The Archives

How will Swansea react to the loss of their talisman Ferrie Bodde who has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering his second cruciate ligament injury in the space of twelve months?

Their inspirational player had only just come back into action after being out for ten months with exactly the same injury. The Dutchman has made only ten appearances since being sidelined last season. Tragically the midfielder only lasted 9 minutes before being stretchered off the field of play.

After his highly anticipated come back game, against Sheffield United that Swansea won 2-1, Bodde reassured fans on the club website that this was not an occurrence of the old injury.

"The knee is ok; it's not inside the knee like it was last time."

Unfortunately subsequent scans revealed that the despite the midfielder's optimism his worse nightmare had come true and he will be forced to sit out for the rest of this season.

Swansea now face the rest of the season without one of the toughest tackling midfielders in the Championship who was at the heart of many of their wins last season. The Dutch under 23 international had only signed a new contract with Swansea City in 2008, following rumours of a move to Championship rivals Derby County for around 2 million pounds.

Former Swansea boss Roberto Martinez even turned down a reported 3.5 million pound bid down from Bolton this summer. The sense of dismay in the Swansea camp was echoed in the comments of club physiotherapist who stated how unlucky Bodde had been to suffer a repeat injury:

"It's very rare for this to happen, as the graft is normally stronger than the original ligament."

Swansea Chairman Huw Jenkins reflected the thoughts of many fans and club officials when he conceded:

"It's a big blow, not just for the football club but more importantly for Ferrie himself. He is devastated at the moment, but as a club we have told him we will look after him and stand by him every step of the way - as we did last time. He will remain a very important member of this football club. We all feel for him and I'm sure every Swansea fan will join me in wishing him a speedy recovery."

Meanwhile messages have been flooding in from the fans wishing Ferrie the best of luck as he returns to his homeland to await yet another operation. Last night Swansea drew 0-0 away at Doncaster, finding themselves 16th in the league with only 11 points, and wondering how they will cope with the loss of an integral part of their team.

Prepare yourself to become a dentist

Common mistakes to be avoided by dentists

Prepare yourself to become a dentist

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that dentists are not respected as much as doctors. For reasons still unknown to many, dentists have always been playing second fiddle to their other medical counterparts. However, if you, beating against all odds, decide to become a dentist by profession and aspire for the same, you should be prepared to face the following facts. When you brace yourselves to accept these facts, you will become more determined in your goals and become a successful dentist.

  1. People are a bundle of nerves about their dental problems

Dentists are dreaded by many because dental problems have always scared them. If you aspire to become a dentist, you should be prepared to deal with nervous patients, encourage them to speak up, reassure them about the treatment and ensure that they feel comfortable around you. This is the biggest challenge of being a dentist. Once you succeed in this, your career is sure to take off nicely.

  1. Dental equipment need extremely careful handling

It may sound scary but dental equipment is far more dangerous than equipment used in other medical departments. The screws, clips, saline injectors, needles, measurement apparatus and other related instruments are very delicate and dangerous at the same time. Therefore, it needs to be handled with extreme care.  If you are nervous when you handle these, you can hurt your patients in a big way. This mars your reputation and goodwill to a great extent.

  1. Very stressful profession

All professionals in the medical field have to be prepared to face long and stressful days at work almost every day. In case of dentists, they face the additional burden of having to deal with nervous and cranky patients as well, which adds to the stress. Needless to say, if you dream of becoming a successful dentist, you should be ready to fight through these stressful phases in your life.

  1. Raising awareness about dental care

If dentistry is your passion, you should know that not many people take their dental issues seriously. So one of the first stages of preparing yourself to become a good dentist is to improve awareness about the importance of dental care among your friends and family, teach them why it is important to catch clues early on and when they need to seek medical intervention quickly. You should propagate the importance of dental care to as many people as you see, so that people start taking you more seriously than they ever did.

But special mention to the fact that she stayed up until 1am on the night we arrived in order to ensure we arrived safely which I thought was incredible customer service. She also helped with the one or two issues that cropped up during the week extremely quickly and helpfully. She was great! A beautiful villa and perfect for our young family. The food etc that the owner left us on arrival was amazing and very kind. Would definitely recommend the villa - its very clean / decorated to a high standard / has huge grounds and a beautiful pool (which is cleaned every other day!). We had a great holiday."

Phil Percival - United Kingdom | July 2017

"We had a wonderful time - so much so that we are already in discussions to book again for next year! Beautiful villa, as described and so well stocked with food and the owners kindly prepared salads and pizza for our late arrival. The owners were wonderful and brought cakes and info on the Easter festivities one day which was such a nice touch. Everything we needed was catered for. All in all everyone from Solo Sicily has been wonderful and helpful on all levels. We are a very happy family and look forward to returning asap!  "

Thomas Huber-Abel - Germany | October 2016

"Thank you so much for the wonderful week in your beautiful house. It was great to stay here and thank you also for the good filled fridge, for all the ice cream, cake, wine, food... We enjoyed everything very much!  "

Giles Williams - United Kingdom | August 2016

"The villa itself was very nice and the support staff (Erika, Carmelo and the cleaners etc) were all very helpful and made our stay more enjoyable. We appreciated the thought that went into providing some provisions for our arrival and good things kept appearing in our freezer during our stay! The cleanliness of the villa and garden/pool was excellent. The website, booking process and supporting paperwork all worked well and generally the experience was seamless and without stress.  We certainly enjoyed this part of Sicily and it is quite likely we will visit again at some point.  Thanks to you and the others within the Solo Sicily team that we dealt with."

Ruper Soochak - United Kingdom | July 2016

"It was just excellent to stay for two weeks in your villa. We really enjoyed the ovely pool, especially our children! Thanks a lot!  "

James Sira - United Kingdom | May 2016

"We found the soloSicily website very easy and intuitive to us. SoloSicily were very organised and prompt during all our dealings with them and having used them multiple times, we will continue to do so as the services the offer have always been excellent. Villa Erika was magnificent in the flesh and perfect for outdoor living. Its position is ideal to explore the South East of the island with ease, and its location close to beautiful beaches was an additional bonus. The welcome pack and the villa owner added to the experience. We would not hesitate to recommend this villa and we will definitely stay here again."

The Book of Buddhas: Ritual Symbolism used on Buddhist Statuary and Buddhist Objects - Eva Rudy Jansen

Product Code: BK022
Price: £7.99
Modern students who are drawn to the study and practice of Buddhism are not always able to easily learn the symbolic meaning of the various types of statuary connected to the study of this philosophy.

In Buddhism, every symbol has a meaning, and this book explores the symbolism of the ritual objects that are used on statues and paintings, as well as explaining the ritual meaning of the objects associated with Buddhism.

This book serves as an introduction for Western students. It is not a comprehensive and exhausting study, but provides an introduction to Buddhism itself, as well as a generous survey of the most common figures and symbols. The author examines the Three Mysteries, mudras, asanas, Manushri Buddhas, Transcendental Buddhas, Adibuddha, Tara, Manjushri, and Avalokiteshvara. Also discussed is Yidams, Gods and goddesses, dakinis and yoginis, and the Laughing Buddha.

Welcome to Southerners Netball!

Southerners Netball is a well-established netball club based in central Bangkok and has been participating in the Bangkok Netball League for over 15 years. We currently have 5 Southerners netball teams, playing in both Division 1 and 2 depending on the ability level of players joining our club at the beginning of each netball season.  Some of our members enjoy the challenge of participating at a very competitive level (Div 1) , while others enjoy the mix of both fun and competition at a more social level (Div 2).

No matter which level you prefer to play – Southerners Netball is committed to ensuring that everyone has fun on court as well as off!

All of our teams participate in the Bangkok Netball League (BNL) on Monday evenings at NIST International School on Sukhumvit Soi 15. This is very close to the Asoke BTS station – so a 10 minute walk or a 2 minute motorbike taxi trip to the indoor courts.

The BNL season runs from early September until April.

With the new netball season getting underway in early September – Southerners Netball get together at NIST a couple of weeks before the season kicks off for a run around and to get everyone back into ‘court’ mode.  We welcome players of all ability levels – whether you are new to the sport and up for some fun, haven’t played in years or wanting a more competitive run on court – whatever you prefer, we’d love to hear from you!

As well as the sporting aspect of netball – the Southerners girls also enjoy the social side! We will always find a great excuse to meet up for a vino, enjoy touring across the region to participate in tournaments or enjoy just chilling out and catching up over Sunday brunch with team mates!

As well as being involved in Southerners Netball – you will also be joining the wider Southerners Sports Club Bangkok community which includes rugby union, touch rugby, women’s rugby, cricket, and of course the most important aspect socials – you will be invited to all club social events and monthly TGIF evenings at The Clubhouse Bar & Grill on Sukhumvit Soi 23  – thats over 280 current members!

If you are interested in joining Southerners – we have limited spaces available so please contact us by email and we can send out more details about the Southerners pre-season training sessions and trials. Get in touch now for an awesome season of netball with the Southerners!

Drone ban signs planned

Suburban drone pilots may soon have their wings clipped.

The City of Cape Town is to post signage at Rondebosch Common banning the use of drones, a ward committee meeting heard last week.

The common is a popular venue for suburban drone pilots but they could soon have their wings clipped.

The drone issue came up at the Ward 58 meeting at the Alphen Centre in Constantia, last Tuesday.

Ward 58 includes Rondebosch, Kenilworth, Harfield Village, The Greater Lynfrae and Claremont.

Tim Jobson, from Friends of Rondebosch Common, told the meeting that the many people flying drones at the common was proving disruptive.

Councillor Sharon Cottle said the ward was waiting on “no drone” signage from the City’s parks department.

Mr Jobson told the Tatler that the drones posed a threat to birdlife in the common as well as to the flight paths of helicopters at the nearby Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

The meeting also heard about efforts to stem urban decay in Harfield Village by the Friends of Harfield Parks and the Harfield Village Association which have been picking up litter in the area.

Francine Dieckmann, who oversees environmental issues in the ward along with Mr Jobson, said homeless people were sleeping in the area’s parks and begging for food, which could deter visitors to the facilities.

Ms Cottle said the homeless were an ongoing challenge in the ward.

“Currently a request is for social development from the City of Cape Town to engage with them and offer appropriate assistance where possible. Law enforcement also steps in, responding to any complaints received where City by-laws are contravened.”

Ms Dieckmann encouraged the public to join the annual railway line clean-up next Tuesday which will take place from Kenilworth to Harfield stations.

Apart from Mr Jobson and Ms Dieckmann, the ward committee’s other members are Bruce Burmeister and Peter Linnegar, who handle civic organisations, and Jennifer Coleman, who deals with safety and security. This leaves five vacancies.

“Although ward committees have no decision-making powers, they are the most direct link between a community and the ward,” said Ms Cottle.

She said the ward allocation for the past financial year had been spent on new play equipment in parks, the upgrading of road medians and a license plate recognition camera.

If residents are interested in being on the Ward 58 committee, they should contact Sub-council 20 manager Richard White at 021 444 8112.

The committee meets six times a year. The next meeting is in June.

Huge congratulations are in order for fashion blog Man Repeller’s own Leandra Medine, who announced in an emotional blog post on Thursday that she is expecting twins with husband Abie Cohen after years of trying to have a baby.

The blogger has been open with her following about her struggles with fertility, including the aftermath of a miscarriage she suffered last year, and she spent a large part of her pregnancy announcement addressing this directly.

“We had passed all the milestones, including the would-be birthday of the baby-that-never-was. I ‘should have’ been recovered by then according to the heartbreaking stories of loss I was fed,” she wrote of the miscarriage. “‘Once the oven is hot, it yearns to make more kids,’ they would tell me as if a conciliatory prize. But where were mine? I wasn’t even close. I was dead inside. Cold.”

Medine tried everything from acupuncture and hypnosis to journaling and dietary restrictions in order to help increase her chances of carrying a child to full term, but she said it was not working. She had started to consider the question of whether or not she deserved her own husband when she got pregnant.

“Thank God, though, that before I could really fuck things up, what would be my final tango with hormone therapy reached its own culmination and by the 4th of July, my reproductive endocrinologist confirmed that I was pregnant with twins,” she wrote.

“I spent the rest of the summer hurled over toilet seats or public garbage cans or with my head inside the plastic bags I would carry around as I navigated a hot and very smelly New York City, anticipating the 12-week scan where everything unraveled last time.”

Medine is currently 22 weeks pregnant. She ended her blog post with a message to other women who are struggling with fertility.

“That was my course. This is my course. I wish I had known this. I wish I could have believed Abie when he said I would be happy again,” she wrote. “I hope that you believe me when I say you will be, too.”

Congratulations to Leandra and Abie.

OneWeb Launch 2, February 6, 2020 (Source: OneWeb)

OneWeb adds 34 satellites

Today, February 6, OneWeb successfully launched 34 satellites, its first large batch towards an operational constellation of 648 satellites providing global communications coverage.  All satellites have been successfully released and are undergoing three day in-orbit testing.

Launch 2 took place at 4:42 PM ET from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan onboard a Soyuz launch vehicle. The launch was the 27th commercial Soyuz flight conducted by Arianespace and its Russian affiliate.  Once in space, the 34 satellites were distributed into different locations in groups of 2 and 4 in nine separate maneuvers by the Fregat upper stage over the course of nearly four hours after liftoff.

Today’s launch was originally scheduled for December but ended up delayed due to additional engineering checks conducted on the first group of satellites produced at the OneWeb Satellite factory in Florida.  OneWeb’s first six satellites were built by Thales and launched in February 2019.

OneWeb expects to conduct Launch 3 in late March from Baikonur with further launches taking place “more or less” on a monthly basis, said a OneWeb executive, through the end of 2021.  Each batch will be 32 or 34 satellites, depending on the Soyuz launch location taking place in northern Russia (32) or Kazakhstan (34), with the lone exception being a group of 30 satellites onboard the maiden flight of the Ariane 6 rocket launched from French Guyana.

Initial customer trials for OneWeb services are expected to take place later this year with full global coverage becoming available sometime before the end of 2021. Not all 648 satellites need to be in orbit before commercial service availability since the final count includes in-orbit spares added to the constellation.

OneWeb executives touted their service as the “world’s only global communications provider” in 2021. SpaceX apparently won’t be able to offer coverage over oceans in its current system design; intersatellite crosslinks will be necessary since there’s no place to do a “ground bounce” relay in the middle of the seven seas.

Several OneWeb “launch parties” were held today with festivities taking place in London and Washington D.C.  OneWeb founder and executive chairman Greg Wyler attended the Washington D.C. launch party along with Chief Financial Officer Tom Whayne and a number of other DC-based executives.

Reading in Year 5

In Year 5 your child will take part in a range of whole class, group and individual reading activities. In Year 5, children should be able to read with fluency, accuracy and understanding. They should be able to respond to a wide range of texts, including both fiction and non-fiction, referring to the text to support their views.

Reading is probably one of the most important skills your child will learn in primary school. Please help your child spend 10-15 mins reading/or being read to every day; it will help them become excellent readers, writers and thinkers. It's only a small amount of time but it will make a HUGE difference.

Thank you for your continuing support with your  child's reading.

   Times Tables

In Year 5, children should be able to rapidly recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10, their corresponding division facts and facts involving decimals. It is useful to learn the tables in the following order:

PE kits need to be brought in on a Monday and left in school all week. It should be taken home and washed on a Friday. The timetabled PE lesson will take place on Friday. As a reminder the PE kit is made up of: black plimsolls or trainers, a plain white t-shirt (no writing or pictures please) and plain shorts. Children should not be bringing football kits in for PE!

Year five will be swimming this term on Thursday mornings.

Sounds from Spain at SXSW 2018

Sounds from Spain at SXSW 2018

Six bands from Spain participate in of South by Southwest 2018 in Austin, Texas, presented by the Sounds From Spain program.

Inaugurated in 1987, the South by Southwest conglomerate of festivals and conferences has become the largest event for the music industry. In the 2018 edition, more than 15,000 music professionals will be present, including record labels, managers, and industry press who will have the opportunity to attend almost 2,000 concerts. Among them, six Spanish bands will play in the concerts organized by Sounds From Spain: Christina Rosenvinge, Bad Gyal, Los Wilds, Joe Crepusculo, Neuman, The Zephyr Bones.

Christina Rosenvinge

In 1999, Christina moved to New York where she started a new career in the Anglo-Saxon world. After a series of concerts in many historical clubs of the New York underground (CBGB’s, Tonic, Knitting Factory and Cooler, among others) she spent several months recording her new album, Frozen Pool (Smells Like Records, 2001). This put her on the American indie map and got her rave reviews in media outlets such as Time Out NY, The Wire, Pitchfork and Time Magazine. She toured with the new project around the U.S. and Europe, playing at festivals such as All Tomorrows Parties in Los Angeles, Les Femmes S’en Mêlent in Paris and South by Southwest in Texas. The record was released in Japan on the prestigious label P-Vine. In 2015 she released Lo nuestro (El Segell del Primavera), inspired in figures seemingly as far removed as Luis Cernuda, Louise Bourgeois, Nikola Tesla, New Order, Franco Battiato. Now she releases Un Hombre Rubio, her newest album inspired by her father.

Bad Gyal

After her cover of Rihanna’s Work went viral, a spree of hits started with the YouTube sensation Indapanden and culminated with her debuting mixtape Slow Wine, which placed her at the top of a new phenomenon before turning 20 years old. She has sold out every major venue in Spain, and performed for renowned festivals Sonar and FIB. Shortly after she tour all across Europe and the U.S. twice, both times for the Red Bull Music Academy.

Los Wilds

They made it big at SXSW 2017, the Spanish band that gave more concerts that year with 12 gigs in places such as Spider House, Hotel Vegas (where they played twice), Grand Social Club (Burger records), Showcase Get Hip Recordings and Sheraton Hotel. Their passage through the USA has left fans declared Jared Swilley of The Black Lips and Californian radio KPFA Comunity Powered introduced them as Fat White Family Spanish, and is that their live is a real bomb.
Its sound is loaded with Fuzz, reverb and lyrics full of perversion.

Joe Crepusculo

The recent launch of Disco duro (El Volcán Música / Ópalo Negro, 2017), a collection of twelve songs to dance, laugh and think at the same time, marks Joe Crepúsculo’s reinvention. His eighth album incorporates his personal sound and everything that he has been discovering along the way during these years, without any prejudice.

Neuman has become in these last two years one of the most important groups in Spain. Their latest album, If, has been considered one of the year’s best works by critics. There is no international Festival in Spain where Neuman doesn’t star, and in the latest edition of the Music Awardsm they have been one of the groups with the most nominations for Best Artist, Best Album, Best Live Performance and Best Song.

The Zephyr Bones

The hazy, melodic, psychedelic rock of The Zephyr Bones flickers with memories that span the distance that separates the native Chile of guitarists and vocalists Brian Silva and Jossip Tkalcic, and the band’s current base in Barcelona, Spain –which is also home to rhythm section, Marc López and Carlos Ramos. They emerged in 2015 with debut EP, Wishes/Fishes, and returned in 2016 with 7inch Black Lips / Surrounded By Sunflowers. A title that raised expectations, which are fully met with the 2017 debut album Secret Place, which synthesizes The Zephyr Bones’ guitar-oriented psych and dream pop.

Suffering from "Portion Distortion"

Saturday, September 17, 2011

This is my third blog entry today. This was not my intention but I had to write this one. I have realized that I am truly suffering from "Portion Distortion". My planned lunch today was banana-nut cheerios (1cup), soy milk (1cup) and a banana. When I went to open the box of cereal and saw there was only a corner left. I said to myself "this isn't going to be enough" and without thinking twice pulled down the box of multi-grain cheerios to attempt to supplement my meager portion. Then I paused. Subhan'Allah, I paused. I took the measuring cup and poured in what I thought was my too small portion of cheerios and to my surprise, IT WAS EXACTLY 1cup!

This was not an 'ah ha' moment for me. I still thought it wasn't going to be enough. But given my recent failure in attempting to eyeball a perfect portion I proceeded with the milk. With both in the bowl, wouldn't you believe it, I was still skeptical of whether I was going to reach my satiety level. Then I remembered, I had a fruit allocated for my lunch allowance. So I added my sliced banana and saw that my bowl was filled to the brim. Go figure. And, I have to say...I AM FULL for just over 300 calories.

I wrote in an earlier blog entry, several days ago that I wasn't sure if my bulging waistline was a result of what I was eating or how much. I think now I have some insight into my answer.

    Thank everyone for all the encouragement. I think this is why people are successful here. You get to share your story and people who share your struggles offer great advice. Thank you guys! emoticon

    I just spoke with my mother-in-law about getting a kitchen scale. Does anyone know of a particular brand that is inexpensive and accurate?

    I know how you feel! I'm sure it never helped in the past that my normal bowls are HUGE! Now I've switched, and use much smaller bowl, and I use my kitchen scale ALL the time. I've started weighing a lot of my food in grams because it's pretty much always on the food item, ends up being easier for me =)
    3081 days ago
    Unfortunately, we weren't taught to measure food as children, or what healthy portions are. To top it off, plates and servings in restaurants are getting bigger! It's no wonder a "real" portion looks too small.

    I think now you've had you 'aha' moment. emoticon
    3082 days ago
    my problem is not so much portion distortion but the stopping at only one portion,lol.guess we both know what we have to work on ,.inshallah allah will help guide us both.
    3082 days ago
    Good job. Keeping portions right is a full time job.

    I weigh or measure's the only way I can keep my estimated calories close to actual calories

    good luck!
