"Excellent getaway!"
Overall everything was excellent. Arrival and check in was smooth and easy. We arrived around 12pm. Checked in. Rooms were ready at 3 as advertised. Rooms have great view and ammenities. The rooms were kept very clean and tidy by staff. The food was better than average for buffet. I have visited multiple resorts and think the food and rooms were way above my expectations. The building was well kept. Pool very clean and large. Food service excellent. Variety of Food at Snack Bar could be better, but it was my choice to eat there. Buffets had plenty of variety. Bars were excellent. 2 recommendations for bars..... First add a Swim Up Bar. Second is add a Solid Surface walkway to Beach Bar. Walkway would allow clean path to sit at the Bar in the evenings after cleaning up from the day activities. Finally, The Staff. Excellent!!!! As a traveller to this country, Remember to tip. It will improve your experience. They deserve it.

"Good option for families and couples"
The Occidental Costa Cancun is also called the Barceló (which was confusing since my reservation was for the Occidental Costa Cancun but the taxi drivers all called it the Barceló). We had a room on the first floor with a patio that opened to the pool. Loved this at first, but the issue is the hotel carts. They get food on one side of the room and cart it over to the restaurants by passing 3 sides of the room and the carts are noisy. They start this about 4:30am every morning. If you are a light sleeper, this is a bad choice. The only other issue is restaurant reservations go quickly in the morning (get in line at 6:30am). You don't need a reservation, the buffet is decent, but La Trattoria requires reservations and it is EXCELLENT, especially the Sea Bass and the Lasagna (their steak was not good - we sent it back - but even that they handled with a smile and very quickly). The nightly on-site entertainment was good. I worked out each morning in their gym, and though it was a busy time, I always got a treadmill or a bike, Overall, we really enjoyed it.

"Mostly very pleasant "
The easiest way I think is a list of pros and cons. Pros: 1. Nice room with comfy bed and decent aircon. Free mini bar refreshed daily on all-inclusive deal. 2. Pool spacious and clean. Plenty of deckchairs. 3. Nice beach area and pleasant sea section (artificial sandbank for the hotel alone) 4. Communal spaces such as lobby bar are spacious and bright. Very comfortable. 5. Staff friendly and welcoming. 6. Scrupulously clean in every area. Genuinely one of the highest standards I've seen in a long time. Cons: 1. Wifi is not included and is expensive. If you use your own 3G it is slow. 2. Cocktails of variable quality due to staff's need (presumably at management insistence) to make them so quickly. Wine and beer are a bit average. 3. Food very mixed quality. Breakfast best meal of the day. Lunch buffet usually has something for everyone. The evening meals we tried in the Italian and Mexican restaurants were disappointing. We switched to having a big breakfast and late lunch and skipping dinner by the end. 4. The evening entertainment is loud! It's from 9-10 with a bit of leakage either side. All the rooms face onto the central space so getting young ones to sleep before 10.30 is nigh on impossible. 5. Timeshare con: on arrival we were told that we could visit their sister hotel further down the peninsula and enjoy their facilities exactly as at our hotel - food, drink, pools etc. We decided to take up this offer one day for a change of scene. On attempting to do so we were told there was only one transport available which was too late for us so that day we arranged it for the next day. One day later therefore we pitched up (with 6 month old baby in tow). Only at this stage did the concierge mention a 90 minute tour when we got there. We thought, ok nice to look around - probably won't take that long. Taxi was hailed (why the specific pick up time then?) and we travelled to the Occidental Tucancún. On arrival we were greeted warmly and lead to the vacation club. It soon dawned on us that we were being dragged into more than we had bargained for. We had to show ID and a current credit card. We were then taken for breakfast (we'd already eaten!) and given the hard sell on timeshares in the company. We soon indicated that this was not something we were interested in. When that message finally sunk in, we were duly ejected and 'checked out'. No tour of hotel, no use of their facilities and no return taxi! Do not fall for this scam. If they try to sweet talk you into visiting another hotel it is all a sales pitch and you will get nothing out of it unless you're planning to sign up to a 25 year timeshare (yes, this is what they were pressing). 6. A bit remote. The main hotel district is about a 10 min taxi ride. (c.M$200 or £10). Overall, a nice hotel with a mostly decent all-inclusive selection of food and drink. Expect sleep disturbance and corporate bothering but enjoy the lovely poolside and comfy rooms. I don't regret booking here at all but not sure I'd come again.

"Teacher getaway "
I was hesitant about booking this trip because of some of the reviews, but I'm so glad we did! Staff- The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My friend speaks fluent Spanish so that was a plus! They gave us the 411 on the best beach to snorkel independently (without a tour) and introduced us to the bus system. Instead of taking cabs back and forth, we took the local bus which was twenty pesos (one dollar). We made sure we tipped them and they took extra care of us the whole time. They truly are friendly people and made our stay comfortable and pampered. Room- When we booked the room on Expedia they didn't give us any information on the room besides the fact it was double occupancy. When we were escorted to our room we were surprised to find one queen size bed. We were going to request to change the room but it was just perfect. The bathroom was beautiful. Glass door, a place to sit inside of the shower and very clean. The actual room had like a lounge chair which was very comfortable. The best part was the balcony. We had a pool view with a hammock...yes, a hammock! I believe all the balconies have hammocks. I would wake up early every morning just to go outside and lie in the hammock to watch the sunrise. The fridge was stocked with beer, champagne, water and soda...they restocked it daily. They also left little animals made out of towels, little deserts, and Mexican chocolate for us. Food- So, the food was the highlight of our trip. I read some of the reviews and was a little nervous because I LOVE to eat. I don't know what those people were talking about....I'm from New York, I know good food and the food was good. Okay, let me make this clear. The buffet food was excellent. Especially the Mexican dishes. I didn't come to Mexico to eat a bunch of American food and I feel like this hotel really understood that. I ate tamales and enchiladas for breakfast. One day I decided to eat French toast and an omelet and that was delicious too. Every morning they consistently had omelets made to order, pancakes, French toast, eggs, egg whites, hash browns, bacon or sausage, smoked salmon, yogurt, oatmeal with a granola station, a fruit bar, pastries and mini sandwiches. They also served enchiladas, tamales, and this Mexican soup that was delicious (I don't know the name). Lunch was great too. The buffet had pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs, steak, chicken, sandwiches, French fries, a pasta station made to order, various types of chicken dishes....and of course, delicious Mexican food with fresh pico de gallo, salsa verde, fresh Mexican cheese and cream with unlimited tortilla...not the American ones made out of flour, REAL corn tortillas! Unfortunately I can speak about the buffet's dinner because we always made reservations for dinner. Honestly, I was perfectly fine with eating at the buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner since they changed the food so frequently but my friend insisted we go for dinner to try every restaurant. You can't go for dinner at the restaurants unless you have a reservation which is ridiculous because the restaurants are always damn near empty, lol. Anyways....the best restaurant is the Mexican the dinner there is delicious. I ordered the steak roll with enchiladas. My skirt steak was grilled perfect and I had green and red enchiladas. The other two restaurants (Italian and Asian) were okay. Like I said before, we're from NY and very familiar with authentic Italian and Asian food and those two restaurants just didn't do it for us. Beach-The reason I didn't give this place a 5 was because of the beach. The beach was very small and that's what my friend and I came to Mexico for. However, the hotel is walking distance away from the ferry that the locals take to isla mujeres so we were able to enjoy the breath taking beaches over there. Also, like I said before, the wonderful hotel staff gave us the 411 on how to avoid the buses the touris take and use the local bus. We took the bus into the market and got a sailing tour that took us to the reefs and underwater museum to snorkel for 40 American bucks each (everything is negotiable in Mexico). The boat provided unlimited alcohol and took us to the beach in isla mujeres that provided us lunch (yeah, all of this for 40 dollars). After lunch they took us to the market in isla mujeres. It was kind of unfair that we were sailing on a boat with other people who paid 150 pp for the tour, you HAVE to haggle haggle haggle in Mexico!!! Side note: if you love to snorkel and hate doing the whole touris thing with a bunch of people there is a reef you can go to that doesn't require a boat to get there and it's free. They won't tell you this because they want you to buy the tours....but there is a beach that has a coral reef further up where the luxury hotels are. If you're not staying in the hotel they make you rent snorkel gear for 10 bucks. The beaches over there are amazing!! The fish are literally all around you. I took some pictures with my underwater camera, check them out. Overall- for the amount of money I spent on this vacation occidental exceeded my expectations. The area is safe, the food was great (I gained 5 pounds), the staff is remarkable and we had a beautiful room with a great view. I would recommend this hotel.

"Hotel kde se nenudíte"
Hotel sice nemá nejkrásnější pláž v Cancun, ale to vše vynahradí přístup personálu a neskutečné celodenní aktivity, volejbal, vodní aerobik, večerní programy, nespočet soutěží pro děti apod. Prostě hotel, kde se určitě nenudíte.
ASISTENTE BARCE... C, Jessica Reyna Arechiga. Asistent generálního ředitele. v zařízení Occidental Costa Cancun, odpověděl na tuto recenzi.

Leadership by Resentment: From Ressentiment to Redemption (New Horizons in Leadership Studies Series)By: Ruth Capriles (author)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionWhat do such disparate events as Occupy Wall Street, Iran's Islamic revolution or Venezuela's socialist revolution have in common? Emotion, specifically resentment, based on past grievances or shortcomings, seems to emerge from the depths of individual and collective psyches. This emotion, or more specifically the related philosophical concept of ressentiment, can have a profound impact on the course of history and on the role of leadership within societies. Expanding on the concept of ressentiment, this book addresses the importance of emotions in historical events. The author explores the conditions that allow the incubation and apparition of the disease of ressentiment, the role of leaders and followers and the phases of the phenomenon towards destruction, murder and suicide. Often considered an incurable disease, with destructive social and political repercussions, it is a core motive for acts of terrorism, revolutions, social upheavals and processes of toxic leadership. The author elaborates a model that serves as a tool to describe historical processes led by ressentiment, like some revolutions and terrorist acts, and to distinguish them from other movements that are usually treated as similar (i.e. independence revolutions). The model is applied to actual events like terrorism and 'Occupy' movements, and proves useful to understand phenomena such as the so-called Venezuelan socialist revolution. The book then goes further into the impossible question: Can we find a cure to this hitherto incurable disease? Reposing the problem, the author shows the role of ethical leadership as bridging over the crevasses of human conflicts through recognition and redemption. If not the cure, the reader will at least find here alternate paths to avoid epidemic outbreaks of the disease. A philosophical endeavor to understand events from the Boston Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, from the French revolution to Hugo Chavez's revolution in Venezuela, this book is a journey from ressentiment to redemption, bridging over contemporary conflicts. It will be fascinating reading for scholars and students of the social science and humanities and those with a particular interest in leadership.

Our goal in this project is to establish biological understanding, preclinical proof of concept;and safety data using AAV-based vectors for correction of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) such that clinical trials of gene therapy for both disorders is a tangible reality by the final year of this P01. Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the most common cause of death and disability. Several common genetic forms of dyslipidemia exist and although many patients with dyslipidemia can be treated effectively with existing drugs, others are not effectively treated and remain at exceptionally high risk of premature ASCVD. A classic example is homozygous FH, in which patients have severe hypercholesterolemia that can't be effectively treated with current drugs and develop ASCVD in childhood or adolescence. Conversely, ABL, which is due to mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), is associated with absent plasma LDL and apoB and progressive spinocerebellar degeneration and retinopathy. Therefore, understanding of the regulation of the secretion and catabolism of apoB-containing lipoproteins by the liver is of major importance to the development of new therapies targeted toward these pathways. Liver-directed somatic gene transfer is a useful biological tool that could be used as a strategy for treating severe dyslipidemia. In this project, we will utilize liver-directed gene transfer using vectors based on novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) pseudotypes to address questions related to the impact of specific gene products on the regulation of hepatic secretion of apoBcontaining lipoproteins. Project I will identify the best AAV for liver-directed gene transfer (called AAVcc) which will be further evaluated in this project.
Specific Aim 1 will use mouse models of FH to test the hypothesis that AAVcc-mediated expression of the murine LDL receptor (LDLR) will stably normalize cholesterol levels and prevent, and regress, atherosclerosis.
Specific Aim 2 will test the hypothesis that AAV8-mediated expression of the rabbit LDL receptor (LDLR) will stably normalize cholesterol levels and prevent, and regress, atherosclerosis in LDLR-deficient WHHL rabbits.
Specific Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that AAVcc-mediated expression of the rhesus LDL receptor (LDLR) wilj stably normalize cholesterol levels in the heterozygous LDLR-deficient rhesus fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet designed to downregulate the expression of the LDLR from the normal allele.
Specific Aim 4 will test the hypothesis that AAVcc-mediated expression of the murine MTP will stably permit secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins by the liver in the liver-deficient MTP mouse. Effects on vitamin E metabolism and end-organ effects will also be determined.

Do not overlook the value of massage for recovery from the birthing event. Even when a birth has gone as smoothly as possible, a woman's body still must undergo quite a bit of structural realignment and Post-partum massage helps restore your muscle tone in the abdomen and reposition the pelvis.
Other benefits include:
Relieves tension from birthing process and hastens recovery
Encourages pelvic and abdominal organs to return to pre-pregnancy positions
Allowing the mother to spend some well deserved time alone without her baby
Increases energy levels and reduces fatigue
Aids in returning uterus to normal size
Provides emotional support
Relieves shoulder, neck and arm tension from breastfeeding
Relaxes the mother who may be experiencing emotional swings due to the reduction in pregnancy hormones
Postpartum care, though often over looked in our culture, is an important part of the complete birthing process.
Often mothers must take it upon themselves to ensure that they are receiving the emotional and physical support that they will need following their pregnancy.
Taking the time for postnatal massage as part of your recovery plan will allow you to be at your best while caring for yourself and your baby.

Pregnancy massage is a massage therapy specifically tailored for the expectant mother's needs. This type of massage can reduce stress, ease back pain, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, improve circulation and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints.
Swedish massage therapy is very effective at relieving anxiety and is often used to help alleviate the symptoms of stress and depression.
Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Indian healing system called Ayurveda – the anti-aging science of life. It is known to be the earliest recorded form of medical treatment dating back more than 5000 years. It has played a very important role in Indian life as a principle method of relieving pain and healing.
Reflexology is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment. Since the feet and/or hands are the only areas being addressed, there is never any need for removal of clothing.
When placed along certain points on the body, hot stones can assist in removing energy blockages that lead to the development of disease, illness and cancers.

The United States Maritime Alliance, the employer group that negotiates the master contract with the International Longshoremen's Association, called the ILA's planned work stoppage threat "disturbing."
The terminal operator increased spending from $70 million to $200 million in preparation for ultra large containerships.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The International Longshoremen's Association is calling for a shutdown of ports along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, and a march in Washington.
The Allied Pilots Association, the union that represents American Airlines' more than 15,000 pilots, said it has lost confidence in Chief Executive Officer Doug Parker's leadership abilities due to "questionable economic and strategic decisions."
Harold J. Daggett, president of the International Longshoremen's Association, said the union will oppose fully-automated container terminals in upcoming contract talks with the United States Maritime Alliance.

Saint Thomas Choir School is a church-affiliated boarding choir school in Manhattan, New York. It was founded in 1919 and is supported by the nearby Saint Thomas Church, an Episcopal church continuing the Anglican tradition of all-male choral ensembles. Other than Westminster Abbey Choir School in the U.K. and Escolania de Montserrat in Spain, it is the only Choir School which exclusively educates boy trebles of the choir and where all boys are required to board at the school.[citation needed]
The students, boys ranging from ages 8 to 14, reside and study at the Choir School, located in a 14-story building at 202 West 58th Street in midtown Manhattan, between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, one block from Central Park South. Since 2005, the school has also offered a summer residential Girl Chorister Course.[2]
Student life[edit]
Students simultaneously participate in both a rigorous liturgical music program at Saint Thomas Church and a full range of academic subjects including English, science, history, mathematics, Latin, French, music theory, and theology. The school also engages in an athletic program, competing against local private schools in soccer, basketball, and track.
Students are admitted on a rolling basis. The school schedules auditions three times a year for boys entering the third, fourth, and fifth grade. Third grade students must live within a proximity to New York that permits them to return home each weekend and return on Sunday evening; this restriction is eliminated for fourth and fifth graders.[3]
Tuition for the 2015 school year is $15,000, with over 85% of the student's families receiving financial aid.[1]
- Headmasters of the Choir School[4]
- Clarence Jack Smith, 1919
- Raymond Wallace Gauger, 1920-1922
- Herbert H. Hannan, 1923-1925
- Clair J. Smith, 1926-1927
- Charles Mead Benham, 1928-1942
- The Rev. James O. Carson Jr., 1943-1944
- Leon D. Phillips, 1945-1949
- Henry B. Roney Jr., 1950-1955
- Robert Porter, 1955-1966
- Gordon H. Clem, 1967-1995
- Murray Lawrence, (Acting) 1995-1997
- Gordon Roland-Adams, 1997-2004
Appointed in 2004, the current headmaster is Charles Wallace. The school has had six Organists during its history:
- Organists and Choirmasters[5]
- T. Tertius Noble, 1913-1940
- T. Frederick Candlyn, 1940-1953
- William Self, 1954-1971
- Gerre Hancock, 1971-2004
- Organists and Directors of Music[6]
- John Scott, 2004-2015
- Daniel Hyde, 2016-
The Choir School was founded in 1919 by T. Tertius Noble,[citation needed] an English born organist and composer, who had been appointed as the organist of Saint Thomas Church in 1913. It was formerly located in a four-story building at 123 West 55th Street;[7] the school sold that building to Fisher Brothers, who combined it with other acquisitions and sold it to Harry B. Macklowe, the developer of the Avenue of the Americas Plaza at 125 West 55th Street.[8]
In 1985, the Elysee Theater, which had been a television studio for ABC Entertainment since 1955,[9] was closed and demolished to make way for the school's new building. Prior to its use as a broadcast studio, the Elysee had been a theatre or a cinema since 1926, under various names that included the Golden Theatre, Cort's 58th Street Theatre, the Filmarte, the Fine Arts, and the Concert Theatre.[9] By September 1987, the new Choir School building, designed by architects Buttrick White & Burtis, opened its doors.[7] The $18 million, 55,000-square-foot (5,100 m2) building was built on a lot about 75 feet (23 m) wide, using red bricks with trim in limestone and gray-brick, and rising six stories "before stepping back in a tower with a gabled roof that houses the chapel."[7] When it first opened, it housed 26 students, with tuition of $4,800 a year, though the majority of students attended on scholarship.[7]
The Choir[edit]
The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys is considered by many to be the leading ensemble in the Anglican choral tradition in the United States. Directed from 2004 to 2015 by John Scott, formerly Organist and Director of Music at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, the choir performs regularly with the period instrument ensemble, Concert Royal, or with the Orchestra of St. Luke's as part of its own concert series. Its primary raison d'être, however, is to provide music for five choral services each week. Live webcasts of all choral services and further information including recordings of the choir may be found at www.SaintThomasChurch.org
Supplementing its choral services and concert series over the past three decades, the choir has toured throughout the U.S. and Europe with performances at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Kings College, Cambridge, Windsor, Edinburgh, St. Albans and the Aldeburgh Festival. In 2004, the choir toured Italy, and performed for a Papal Mass at the Vatican. During 2007, the choir performed Bach's Saint Matthew Passion for the opening concert of the Mexico Festival in Mexico City as well as at Saint Thomas Church. In February 2012, the Boys of the choir traveled to Dresden to give the premiere of Lera Auerbach's Dresden Requiem with the Dresden Staatskapelle in the Frauenkirche and Semper Oper. Later in 2012, the choir was invited to perform in the Thomaskirche at the Bachfest Leipzig, a highlight of their June 2012 tour to Germany and Copenhagen.
In addition to the annual performances of Handel's Messiah, concerts at Saint Thomas have included Requiems by Fauré, Brahms, Mozart, Duruflé and Howells; Bach's Passions and Mass in B Minor; the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610; a Henry Purcell anniversary concert; Rachmaninoff Vespers; the U.S. premiere of John Tavener's Mass; a concert of American composers featuring works by Bernstein and Copland and a composition by Saint Thomas chorister, Daniel Castellanos; the world premiere of Scott Eyerly's Spires and a concert of music by Benjamin Britten.
The Men of the Saint Thomas Choir are professional singers; the Boy choristers attend Saint Thomas Choir School. Founded in 1919, it is the only church related boarding choir school in the United States, and one of only a few choir schools remaining in the world. The Choir School offers a challenging prepreparatory curriculum, interscholastic sports, and musical training for boys in grades three through eight. The Choir School is committed to training and educating talented musicians without regard to religious, economic, or social background. Choristers are sought from all regions of the country.[10]

Stone Weighing Two Tons Moved by the Sun. An interesting object is to be seen in a cemetery of Ohio, U.S.A.— a large granite stone weighing two tons, in' the shape of a ball j which is gradu ally turning on its axis. It is stated that during the last five, years this ball has turned a. fraction over thirteen inches.

What Married Women Want. It is not the labour and privations of their daily life which make the lot of some mar ried women hard . It is the breaking through of all their dreams, the shattering of their ideals that turns lives into cinders, ashes, and dust. A woman wants some recognition of her services more man Having her clothes and board given to her, no matter if she live in a mansion and her clothes are Paris con fections. She wants love, she wahts companionship ?she wants to feel that she is more in her husband's life than an oiler of the domestic wheels.

Whose Votes Count? by Abigail M. Thernstrom
Book DescriptionThe Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that all citizens have the right to vote without regard to their "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." For almost a century the Fifteenth Amendment was a dead letter. Throughout the South millions of nonwhite Americans were excluded from the political process by poll taxes, literacy tests, and other devices. The landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 sought to end that injustice.In this absorbing book, political scientist Abigail Thernstrom analyzes the radical transformation of the Voting Rights Act in the years since its passage. She shows how a measure carefully crafted to open the polling booths to southern blacks has evolved into a powerful tool for affirmative action in the electoral sphere--a means to promote black and Hispanic officeholding by creating "safe" seats for minority candidates, What began as an effort to give minorities a fair shake has become a means of ensuring a fair share.Thernstrom demonstrates how voting rights have created a "political thicket" in which Congress, the courts, and the justice Department have been lost. Why this should be true, how small statutory changes led to large and unexpected results, how civil rights groups prevailed against a conservative Senate, how Republicans have benefited from gerrymandering to increase black officeholding--these stories are all part of Thernstrom's well-told tale.Even though the concept of the right to vote retains an aura of moral simplicity, the issue of minority voting rights is perhaps the most complex, yet least studied, of all affirmative action issues. "Whose Votes Count?" should stimulate the overdue discussion that the subject deserves among all those concerned with American politics.
