I had a 2hr javanese oil massage for 180,000. Pricing is affordable. But the level of cleanliness is a bit too low for the price (to me). The "bed"I lie down on, has got visible stains (of dunno what). I will not visit to Eska again.
We went to the one at Mega Mall. We did the couple package which is like RP1,100,000 for 2.5 hours and we also did manicure and pedicure. I would come back again for the spa but never for mani&pedi. This place is soo much cheaper than Secret Spa. Trust me.
We went to Eska again yesterday and the experience was as always excellent.This place has everything for a great relax session and the ginger tea at the end are super tasty!
I took a 5-6 hour package - Beautiful Bride. I just love the ambiance of the massage room! I can smell jamu as soon as I entered the room. the hydrobath was excellent! a must try! facial was good. and overall - i would definitely come back. staffs are very very very caring. excellent service. transport was provided to and...

Despite reading poor reviews of the place and hearing from my own cousin, I decided to give it a try because I thought I ought to be fair and they might not be all bad. Turns out that I was so wrong. Here's my side of the story:

Dear Joyce Tan,
According to our investigations, it is regrettable that you would misunderstand our clarifications of 2 times on availability of the treatments. During the peak season and peak hour, we did control the customer's orders which some of the customers want to extend the timing whereas we can not just terminate the treatments session.
Please do understand that...
Satisfied with the arrangement. At first, we'd been informed by the manager to be on time at hotel's lobby to be picked up, our name's on the signage and escorted to the branch at nagoya hill. Excellent customer service with good descriptions of the treatments and decided to try recommended package - face and body couple delight spa, when we...

Dear Juzz007,
First, we are truly sorry about the experience you had. We try our best to give every customer the best treatment experience. However, Service Line is a personal service which depends on the skill and experience of the person providing the service. In case you have not been updated, the staff who serviced you was counselled following your...
My second visit to Spa Eska. Located opposite the Nagoya Hill mall, Clean and quiet spa. Staff was friendly. Had a complimentary drive back to hotel.
Went for the manicure. So far the nail polish seems to be holding on well but I think the service should be improved on. My nails are smaller than usual people and i have went for manicure a few times. This is the first time the manicurist kind of commented a few times "your nails so small, soo small!" which...

MUMBAI: For every Rs.100 that a prospective applicant (for new banking license) wants to lend, he will have to lend Rs.40 to small farmers, students or low cost home borrowers and entrepreneurs, at par with the existing norms for existing banks. According to the latest guidelines for licensing on new banks in the private sector, Reserve Bank of India mandates the applicants to build their portfolio for lending to priority sector that includes education, agriculture(direct and indirect lending)
SBI to roll out banking services in 50,000 unbanked villages
July 13, 2009
ET Bureau
KOLKATA & GUWAHATI: State Bank of India (SBI) has promised a big-bang financial inclusion drive this year. After inaugurating 154 branches and 2,151 automated teller machines simultaneously on Sunday from Jangipur -- from where finance minister Pranab Mukherjee is elected for Lok Sabha --SBI chairman OP Bhatt announced a stellar plan to roll out banking services in 50,000 unbanked villages by March 2010. The statement assumes significance as the banking sector as a whole is chasing a stiff target of reaching out to all 1.07 lakh unbanked villages having population over 2,000 by 2011.
Mobile operators ready to give a banking call for the unbanked
January 26, 2007
Harsimran Singh , TNN
NEW DELHI: With the mobile subscriber base touching the 150-million mark, operators are now planning to revolutionise rural remittances through mobile banking. Through this, a daily wage earner in a metro city will be able to remit small amounts (Rs 50, Rs 100 or Rs 500) to his relatives in his village through a local mobile retail outlet. However, such a vision will come true in India only once the regulatory approval for money transfer on mobile phones is there, although the technology is there and it is happening in some other countries.
How startups have successfully established their own rules of hiring, rewarding & retaining talent

Startups and jihadis hardly have anything in common. But trust Vijay Shekhar Sharma, 36, founder, Paytm to spot the connections. And some management lessons. Think about jihadis like this, reasons the founder of the Noida-headquartered mobile wallet startup that recently got a $575 million investment from Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba. They are solo warriors on a mission with little in terms of resources and yet have the audacity to take on the world. The odds are totally stacked against them.
Should you buy the new Kisan Vikas Patra?
November 24, 2014

The interest rate of the revamped KVP is lower than that offered by other fixed income products. However, there are other advantages like greater liquidity and ease of investment. The new Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) offers 8.7% interest, which is 30 basis points higher than what its earlier avatar offered. But experts doubt if the relaunched KVP will generate interest among urban investors. "There are many fixed income products that offer higher returns compared with the new KVP," says Delhi-based tax consultant Surya Bhatia.
Are chit funds for you? Tips to gain from them
May 6, 2013
Narendra Nathan , ET Bureau
It's a personal loan, a recurring deposit and a kitty party rolled into one. A chit fund means many things to many people. For someone seeking a loan, it is a source of costly, but convenient, credit. For the small saver, it is an option that enforces monthly investment discipline. And for the unbanked rural investor, it is a crucial step towards financial inclusion. Unfortunately, chit funds are also used by fly-bynight operators to defraud semi-literate investors. The uncovering of the Saradha scam unleashed a media blitzkrieg against chit funds.
RBI releases final guidelines for new bank license
February 22, 2013
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India today issued the much-awaited guidelines for new bank licences, allowing corporates and public sector entities with sound credentials and a minimum track record of 10 years to enter the banking business. The Reserve Bank, which has laid down an elaborate 'fit and proper' criteria, has not excluded any category like brokerages, real estate companies from entering into the banking space as has been advocated by the Finance Ministry. The final guidelines pave the way for corporate houses like Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, Larsen & Toubro, Tatas, Mahindra and Mahindra, Life Insurance Corporation and Aditya Birla Group to enter the banking business.
Budget 2015: Gold bond and deposit schemes may be game changers if guidelines are attractive
March 9, 2015
Uma Shashikant , ET Bureau
Our obsession with gold runs deep. It is estimated that Indian households hold about 25,000 tonnes of gold. In comparison, the US treasury holds about 8,000 tonnes of gold and RBI less than 600 tonnes. The approximate value of gold privately held in India is about Rs 50 lakh crore— that is 35% of our GDP and 60% of our bank deposits. The government now wants to tap this hoard and put it to use. Gold in itself is not a productive asset in a household. It earns no interest or dividend.
Five smart ways to bank with your smartphone & keeping it safe
March 20, 2015
Sanjeev Sinha , ECONOMICTIMES.COM
With each passing day, banking is becoming simpler. From those old long queues in front of the teller's counter to today's mobile applications, where most banking transactions are possible with the click of a button, banking has come a long way -- thanks to technology and the advent of that clever small device called 'smartphone'. Smartphone users today have round-the-clock access to their bank accounts and literally carry their bank in their pockets. But banking with your smartphone also requires applying common sense and staying informed about the threats to your mobile security.
Mobile payment startups and banks use technology to tap rural India
January 1, 2015
Richa Maheshwari , ET Bureau
BENGALURU: Gopal Das, 33, a carpenter from Bengaluru has stopped queuing up at the post office to send money back home; these days, he transfers it straight to his wife's account with the help of a nearby startup. Back home in Chargo village in Jharkhand, his wife Beena doesn't have to travel 23 kilometres any more to withdraw money . A trip to the kirana store 400 metres down is enough for her. As mobile payment startups and banks take frugal technology to rural India, thousands of lives are experiencing the change for the first time.

The staff were all charming.
There was no piped music and we were able to talk and hear easily.
The restaurant is at the back of the Kingslodge hotel situated in a quiet backstreet of Durham away from the city centre. It's well worth the walk.
La Poule au Pot has been offering (fairly) French cuisine in a very Gallic atmosphere for over 50 years.

One of London's most venerable restaurants, La Poule au Pot has hardly changed in 50 years. The atmosphere is still very Gallic - more so even than the cuisine - and very romantic. Minimalism has yet to manifest its bleak presence inside. Outside, Chelsea has seen the bohemians depart and the billionaires arrive, a depressing change reflected inevitably a bit in the prices. At lunch time, however, the fixed price menu is still good value. The pleasant house wine comes in huge unmarked bottles and the waiter makes a very rough guess as to how much you have drunk.

Evicted man intends to battle on
An eviction notice was served yesterday against Sandys resident Robert Moulder, whose protected legal battle over a land dispute has left him saddled with hundreds of thousands in costs.
Mr Moulder is adamant that the Bermuda Court of Appeal unjustly withheld recordings of his 2011 hearing, which he says he needs in order to bring his case before the Privy Council.
Following a ruling in November by President of the Court of Appeal Edmund Zacca, recordings of the proceedings will be made available to litigants. However, according to Supreme Court Registrar Charlene Scott, no recording of Mr Moulders appeal was made at the time in question.
Mr Moulders eviction is not at the behest of a bank, as other high-profile evictions have been — but was instigated by a legal firm to cover costs.
Undeterred, Mr Moulder vowed yesterday to take his appeal to Governor George Fergusson, even as bailiffs enforced his removal from the residence.
His appeal, under the name of Bobby Moulder, has been posted on Facebook in a bid to draw other litigants to the cause.

When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently requested a figure for its annual report, to show global temperature trends over the last 10,000 years, the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Zhengyu Liu knew that was going to be a problem.
"We have been building models and there are now robust contradictions," says Liu, a professor in the UW-Madison Center for Climatic Research. "Data from observation says global cooling. The physical model says it has to be warming."
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today, Liu and colleagues from Rutgers University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, the University of Hawaii, the University of Reading, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Albany describe a consistent global warming trend over the course of the Holocene, our current geological epoch, counter to a study published last year that described a period of global cooling before human influence.
The scientists call this problem the Holocene temperature conundrum. It has important implications for understanding climate change and evaluating climate models, as well as for the benchmarks used to create climate models for the future. It does not, the authors emphasize, change the evidence of human impact on global climate beginning in the 20th century.
"The question is, 'Who is right?'" says Liu. "Or, maybe none of us is completely right. It could be partly a data problem, since some of the data in last year's study contradicts itself. It could partly be a model problem because of some missing physical mechanisms."
Over the last 10,000 years, Liu says, we know atmospheric carbon dioxide rose by 20 parts per million before the 20th century, and the massive ice sheet of the Last Glacial Maximum has been retreating. These physical changes suggest that, globally, the annual mean global temperature should have continued to warm, even as regions of the world experienced cooling, such as during the Little Ice Age in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries.
The three models Liu and colleagues generated took two years to complete. They ran simulations of climate influences that spanned from the intensity of sunlight on Earth to global greenhouse gases, ice sheet cover and meltwater changes. Each shows global warming over the last 10,000 years.
Yet, the bio- and geo-thermometers used last year in a study in the journal Science suggest a period of global cooling beginning about 7,000 years ago and continuing until humans began to leave a mark, the so-called "hockey stick" on the current climate model graph, which reflects a profound global warming trend.
In that study, the authors looked at data collected by other scientists from ice core samples, phytoplankton sediments and more at 73 sites around the world. The data they gathered sometimes conflicted, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Because interpretation of these proxies is complicated, Liu and colleagues believe they may not adequately address the bigger picture. For instance, biological samples taken from a core deposited in the summer may be different from samples at the exact same site had they been taken from a winter sediment. It's a limitation the authors of last year's study recognize.
"In the Northern Atlantic, there is cooling and warming data the (climate change) community hasn't been able to figure out," says Liu.
With their current knowledge, Liu and colleagues don't believe any physical forces over the last 10,000 years could have been strong enough to overwhelm the warming indicated by the increase in global greenhouse gases and the melting ice sheet, nor do the physical models in the study show that it's possible.
"The fundamental laws of physics say that as the temperature goes up, it has to get warmer," Liu says.
Caveats in the latest study include a lack of influence from volcanic activity in the models, which could lead to cooling — though the authors point out there is no evidence to suggest significant volcanic activity during the Holocene — and no dust or vegetation contributions, which could also cause cooling.
Liu says climate scientists plan to meet this fall to discuss the conundrum.
"Both communities have to look back critically and see what is missing," he says. "I think it is a puzzle."
The study was supported by grants from the (U.S.) National Science Foundation, the Chinese National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology.

The IPH presents a solution at HANNOVER MESSE 2015 to make ship traffic more reliable while decreasing the maintenance costs at the same time. In cooperation with project partners, the research institute from Hannover, Germany, has developed a sensor system which continuously monitors the condition of the marine gearbox, thus preventing breakdowns. Special feature: the monitoring system works wirelessly and energy-autonomously. The required electrical power is generated where it is needed – directly at the sensor.
As well as cars need to be certified regularly (in Germany by the TÜV – Technical Inspection Association), ships need to be inspected – if the powertrain stops...

Title: Fast growing native hedges for Sachse, TX
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I just bought a house in Sachse, Tx and want to plant a privacy hedge. It will be about 220' long and I want it to grow to at least 10'-12' high. I also want it to be fast growing and be evergreen. Any suggestions?
ANSWER:These first three shrubs/trees are fast-growing, evergreen and native to North Central Texas:
Prunus caroliniana (Carolina laurelcherry)
The final two are also evergreen, native to North Central Texas, and would make a very good privacy hedge. Unfortunately, they are slower growing than the first three:
Sophora secundiflora (mountain laurel)

U.S. money has changed a great deal since first defined in 1792.
One has to wonder whether the Founding Fathers believed the Constitution should be applied or interpreted with respect to the management of the country.
To a man, the Founding Fathers spoke of a "limited government."
Probably few readers are aware of the contention that existed at the time that the Constitution was proposed to the colonies (states) for their consideration.

Promoting French and American friendship and understanding…
It can sometimes be difficult living between cultures during the holidays. To give a good example, in the southern part of France (La Provence), Santa apparently delivers the presents on a donkey. Instead of cookies and milk, he is entitled to a large glass of red wine and his faithful pack animal will munch on some home-grown lentils (that your young children have been growing at school). For Easter, the eggs are delivered by poetic, flying bells rather than our faithful little Easter Bunny. And don't get me started on the Tooth Fairy (which incidentally is replaced by a small mouse that does not even have a name)!
Holiday culinary traditions are also very different. Despite having one of the most diverse food cultures in the world, it seems like almost everyone in France is required to start off Christmas dinner by serving "foie gras" (fatted duck liver) and oysters. Although it may sound strange to Americans, eating exquisite foie gras with a good white wine is one of the most wonderful tasting experiences imaginable! Concerning the oysters, every year I try a few of them, but I have yet to attain the state of gastronomical ecstasy of my French friends. To me, oysters still taste as if you're drinking a cup of seawater with sand in it - not to mention that you are eating something that is raw and still alive! I was shown that squirting lemon juice on an open oyster is an easy way to test their vitality. If the edges contract inwards, then it means they are alive and kicking! Just remember to chew them really well because apparently it brings out the taste…
The Christmas main courses vary according to different tastes, but dessert is almost universally a long, rolled cream cake known as "La Bûche de Noël" (which literally means "log" in English). It is at this point in the meal that the traditional French family dispute tends to break out because, not only has everyone been sitting at the table for five hours drinking lots of wine and sharing in sometimes strained conversation, but it's also the last chance to vent on any simmering issues with a captive audience.
During the holiday season, towns and villages also host innumerable outdoor "Marchés de Noël" (Christmas Markets) with beautiful lights, music, livestock, children's games and stands selling gifts, food, hot chocolate and spiced red wine (my favorite!). Villages also have their unique traditions, such as Lucéram1 with over 400 different manger scenes tucked away in every available nook and cranny of the winding streets.
There is one more small tradition that I'm sure all Americans will appreciate. The French do not send Christmas cards! Not only does everyone have enough on their plate preparing elaborate holiday meals, buying presents and everything else the season requires, it is also tempting fate to send a holiday greeting before you've actually survived until midnight on December 31st2. Instead, after successfully waking up on January 1st and recovering from all of the end of the year partying, everyone will spend the rest of the month leisurely mailing out "Happy New Year" cards. Incidentally, this is also why the French will rarely celebrate a birthday until on or after the actual birth date.
And now, with only a few hours remaining, I will throw caution to the wind and wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2009!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! Wishing you all the very best for 2013!
Every Monday The Maple Leaf puts on a great deal for wings! For about 6 quid you get 20 wings cooked to your liking! Accompany your meal with a beverage of your choice for a few quid and it is an inexpensive night out to catch up with fellow expats sharing in some tastes from home! I have book room for 30+... We may need more! This event is really popular! The booking is from 6-8pm and I am sure there will be some interested to stay on further and socialize! Hope you can make it out for a great evening!
You never know who might drop into Expat Wings.... Like Peter Mansbridge!
Hope you can make it for the first Canuck Expat event of the year!

The Poke-Virus (Trailer)Maybe things would have been better if they never came, but who knows what could have happened. It just spread worse and worse as more and more people changed while others were just lost to the horrible consultingness of the Virus itself. Maybe we were just getting back what we deserved. The Virus spread to the point where if u scratched you would only have a few hours to live while you slowly become what had scratched you. I lost multiple people along the way and wonder maybe if it was over for them. Oh I forgot to mention my name is Xavier I was 15 when this all started but it's been 2 years since the outbreak. But surviving this long has been tough. The reason why I'm writing this is to whoever finds it will know all that's happened. Maybe then they can find a cure, for by the time you find this I will probably be one of them. Heck a few blue scales have appeared on my arm, I fear it already has begun..

A piece of the darkness is inside everyone's hearts and always will show when least expected, this darkness we are born with is the curse and doom to our lives. "Why must I be left here? Why must I be left to rot in this hell? Why?" Emily sobbed one last time before a shadow walked up to her, with her loud steps Emily got up and looked with a face of fear and surprise "Who the fuck are you?" Emily shouted, "I'm you of course." Emily looking confused and scared then shouted in anger "No you're not! Now tell me why I'm here! Tell me now you fucker!" "Relax…" "No! Don't tell me to relax I can't fucking relax! I want to know why I'm here now!" she shouted

Amy asked as Tyler brushed himself off "No I'm fine, but I think you should check on Serenity." As he said that Amy saw serenity snoring on the ground, *She is actually asleep she thought with a surprised look. "By the way are you heading out of the forest?" "Yea why?"

Bell's whisky just released a heartwarming new commercial that is, by our estimation, the most inspiring ad of the new year.
The ad tells the story of a graying South African man who, despite his advanced age, is determined to learn how to read. Viewers see the man look longingly at a bookstore display case before an incredible montage documenting his tireless journey.
We follow the protagonist as he takes the first steps toward literacy, learning the alphabet in an adult education class and labeling the items in his kitchen. Later, we see the man struggle to achieve his goal, as the camera captures nights spent outside reading by porchlight and the confused look that follows a mistake in a game of Scrabble.
Slowly but surely, the man's reading improves, and the ad delivers its extraordinary emotional payoff — right as the music hits its stirring crescendo:
The ad was created by King James, an agency located in Cape Town, and pitches Bell's as the perfect drink to celebrate a momentous occasion.
After seeing this amazing ad, we'd be hard-pressed to disagree.

Old logic doesn't apply
In this topsy-turvy season, more than one reliable handicapping tenet has been blown up. Home underdogs have always been a major consideration like the first factor to look for when the line is released.
Just a year ago, only 39 percent of road favorites won straight up. NFC travelers who have been favored this year are 27-23.
Laying more than a touchdown home or away has been a ticket to bankruptcy in years past. That's not the case in the eyes of the oddsmakers this year, as last weekend offered 10 such situations.
Those favorites were 4-5-1 against the spread. In other words, the results are inconclusive. In Week 8, there are five TD or more numbers.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Can't you see his gun, you twitter?
The thing might be funny, except that somebody died. That part isn't funny at all. But the rest of it, the moments before Justin Valdez was killed, read like some twisted skit on Saturday Night Live.
You have to get the picture as captured on surveillance video and described by authorities in a story published last week by the San Francisco Chronicle.
You have to see the suspect, 30-year-old Nikhom Thephakaysone, sitting on the light-rail train, pulling out his .45-calibre pistol, pointing it across the aisle, putting it back, pulling it out several times again, and at one point wiping his nose with the hand holding the gun -- and nobody notices because they're too busy staring down at their smart phones and tablet computers. We're talking about a train crowded with commuters and this guy is waving a gun around but nobody sees him, so engrossed are they in texting, tweeting and playing Angry Birds.
Finally, according to police, Thephakaysone shot Valdez in the back of the head as the 20-year-old college student was exiting the train. That got people's attention. Indeed, the apparently random tragedy last month has rocked the Bay Area. It ought to rock the whole country.
In the murder of Valdez and the bizarre scenario leading up to it, we find fresh, albeit bloody, evidence of how social media and high technology have changed us. These devices and new platforms of communication were supposed to allow us to be better-connected to one another. Take this murder as Exhibit A for the argument that they actually do the opposite.
Granted, they provide a link to someone who is not there, but it is at the cost of separation from someone who is. Next time you're on a plane waiting for takeoff, next time you're on public transit, next time you're in a restaurant, count all the eyes fixed to all the screens, all the ears stuffed with tiny white buds, all the spaces that once would have been filled with casual conversation and eye contact, now filled by the silence of people who are not there, people who occupy the same place at the same time worlds apart.
Then these people go home to their families where they watch separate programs in separate rooms while the kids retreat to rooms of their own to text and tweet the night away. Because we have all these new options for self-entertainment and the option we most frequently choose, it seems, is to be alone, together.
Your humble correspondent is as guilty as anyone. Indeed, with an introvert's instinct for solitude, he may be guiltier than most.
But even an introvert can see there is something wrong with this picture. Even an introvert can feel something is lost when human connectivity, human society, human intercourse, are reduced to pixels on a screen and everybody is looking down.
Yes, it sounds like an abstract plaint, the kind of observation one makes when one is paid to navel gaze and think big thoughts.
The death of Valdez, however, robs us of the luxury of believing this does not matter or has no real world application. This killing may speak to our refusal to take guns out of the hands of those who should not have them. It might bear upon our unwillingness to impose safeguards ensuring that those who need mental health care receive it.
But surely it speaks at least as loudly and directly to the alienation and disconnect that have been the ironic, unintended consequence of devices and platforms designed to bring us together. After all, Valdez is dead, at least in part, because it is now possible to wave a gun around in a crowded train without being noticed.
Technology has trained us to look down in search of connection. This man's death is a cruel reminder:
You need to look up sometimes as well.
