Concerns about drug resistance, tolerability, toxicity, and cost retard the implementation of universal access. HIV-treatment optimization is a process intended to address all possible issues hindering access to treatment by using the best scientific evidence to remove obstacles and identify innovative, effective public health-based delivery approaches. There is a common misperception that the main goal of treatment optimization is to reduce costs, thereby expanding the number of treated patients. In fact, treatment optimization, as the name implies, aims to deliver the best possible combinations of antiretroviral drugs to affected populations. The value of recommended interventions is judged by their long-term efficacy, safety, tolerability, adherence, and convenience. Finding the best possible treatments at a cost that allows universal access represents the intersection of the goals of HIV clinical practice and public health, and this is the ultimate objective of treatment optimization. The best approaches to achieve this objective are subject to discussion and debate. However, most experts recognize that a combination of approaches will be needed to provide optimal HIV treatment to all those in need, a population currently estimated by the WHO at 26 million persons [1]. It is likely that this objective will need to be met without the expenditure of funds substantially in excess of the US$16–18 billion being spent annually to provide ARVs in resource-poor countries. Although additional financing is going to be crucial, particularly through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and from affected countries themselves, recent evidence and opinion indicates that much more can be done within the limits of existing budgets. Back to Top | Article Outline WHAT IS THE TARGET PRODUCT PROFILE FOR THE IDEAL ANTIRETROVIRAL DRUG? Box 1 Although the ideal Target Product Profile (TPP) for every pharmaceutical includes complete efficacy, convenience, safety, and tolerability, there are special concerns for antiretrovirals (ARVs) that must be considered. As treatment is presumably for life, long-term safety and tolerability are of supreme importance given the large number of equally efficacious drug combinations. At present, there is one marketed ARV, lamivudine, with no proven off-target drug-associated toxicity; as a proof-of-concept, lamivudine is evidence that it is possible to develop a selective antiviral compound taken for decades that produces no adverse effects in diverse populations, discounting the possible consequences of rebound hepatitis B virus if the drug is discontinued in a coinfected patient. Two other approved ARVs, the NRTI emtricitabine and the integrase inhibitor raltegravir, also have few or no significant side-effects [2]. Additional considerations for ARVs include the need for efficacy and safety in a variety of settings and populations, including children, pregnant women, and individuals of diverse ethnicity and genetics in every region of the world. HIV-associated infections and comorbidities must also be considered. The most problematic of these is tuberculosis, one of the most common life-threatening infections and a frequent partner of HIV. Aside from the obvious combined toxicities of drugs used to treat tuberculosis and HIV, the near universal requirement for rifampin in tuberculosis treatment regimens produces undesirable reductions in concentrations of many co-administered ARVs as a consequence of induction of drug metabolizing enzymes. Of current first-line ARV regimens, only efavirenz-based combinations can be administered with tuberculosis treatment without any need for dose adjustment. Failure of first-line antiretroviral treatment is nearly always the result of drug discontinuation due to toxicity, or lack of adherence that may result in resistance [3]. The first of these problems is addressed by choosing safer and better tolerated drugs in the regimen. The second problem is addressed by simplifying therapy and choosing more robust drugs that are not impacted by occasional nonadherence. This includes an emphasis on once-daily dosing and fixed-dose combinations (FDCs), preferably a one-pill, once-daily regimen. These tactics were promoted by the UNAIDS and WHO Treatment 2.0 initiative [1], and resulted in the 2013 WHO Treatment Guidelines for HIV-infected adults recommending a first-line regimen of efavirenz + tenofovir + lamivudine or emtricitabine, preferably as an FDC [4]. As the vast majority of HIV-infected persons are living in resource-limited countries, cost is an important component of the TPP for antiretroviral drugs when considering public health needs. The availability of low cost generic versions of approved ARVs has revolutionized HIV treatment globally [1], and strategies to reduce the cost of delivering ARVs to those in need are essential components of public health policy. The creation of a treatment research agenda that employs new knowledge to deliver better and more sustainable treatments to more patients has been the goal of a number of recent working groups and conferences. This includes two conferences on antiretroviral drug optimization, held in 2010 and 2013. Back to Top | Article Outline THE CONFERENCES ON ANTIRETROVIRAL DRUG OPTIMIZATION The First Conference on Antiretroviral Drug Optimization (CADO) was convened in June, 2010, as a collaborative project between the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This unique conference brought together expert scientists in process chemistry and formulation, clinical pharmacology, and infectious diseases, as well as drug regulatory officers, public health specialists, community activists, and medical ethicists, to consider strategies to reduce costs and improve the effectiveness of ARV medications in resource-limited settings [5▪▪]. Two primary approaches were considered: reducing the cost of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), which contributes on the order of 65–75% of generic ARV product price, and reducing the amount of API required in the product. Specific examples were reviewed in which API cost efficiencies were improved through alternative raw materials sourcing and manufacturing chemistry optimization. Two complementary approaches could be employed to lower the amount of API required: (1) developing novel strategies in product formulation to improve bioavailability, requiring less API to achieve equivalent plasma concentrations; and (2) reducing API doses, as a number of ARVs from different classes display uncompromised efficacy at doses below the approved dose. Use of lower doses may increase the tolerability of some ARVs, thus improving adherence and leading to more durable virologic suppression. The potential benefits of dose reduction must be balanced against the risks, which include the possibility of a small increase in treatment failures, increased susceptibility of regimens to some adverse pharmacokinetic drug interactions, and the added cost of clinical development and regulatory approvals for new doses. The First CADO emphasized cost-saving opportunities for the most widely used generic products. The primary recommendations of the First CADO, 2010 are as follows [5▪▪]: 1. Promote the important role of process chemistry in reducing drug costs. 2. Recognize rational therapeutics as a global standard for treating all infected persons. 3. Focus future resources on identifying and developing improved regimens and formulations. 4. Pursue dose reduction as an intermediate optimization strategy. Utilizing alternate sources of raw materials (e.g., magnesium tert-butoxide in tenofovir synthesis), refining API synthesis, or streamlining API synthesis to fewer steps (e.g., efavirenz) are examples of reducing the costs of producing API for key ARVs [5▪▪]. Innovations in pharmaceutics can create new formulations that improve bioavailability, thus requiring less API to achieve target plasma drug concentrations. For some approved ARVs, there are existing data supporting efficacy at doses below the approved dose. Initiatives like ENCORE and others systematically evaluate the potential for using lower doses of candidate ARVs, which can lead to cost reductions [6▪]. Extending the shelf-life of ARVs is a cost-saving strategy that could be employed by modifying existing procurement and regulatory procedures. Many of these strategies are discussed in greater depth in other articles in this issue of Current Opinion. Although the first CADO yielded an array of interventions, the potential exists for synergy by combining these interventions, thus maximizing cost savings and expanding the numbers of HIV-patients treated. Employing multiple approaches simultaneously could result in a higher level of cost reduction. All provide concrete means of treating more patients at equivalent or reduced cost without compromising quality of care and in some cases improving it. In contrast with CADO 1, CADO 2's goal was to identify an HIV-treatment research agenda for resource-limited settings over the next 5–10 years. This conference took place in Cape Town, South Africa, in April, 2013. After reviewing existing compounds in early and later-stage clinical development, the participants of CADO 2 discussed potential approaches to first-line and second-line treatment, as well as the role of new technologies in improving long-term durability and affordability. Primary recommendations of the Second CADO, 2013 are as follows: 1. Identify better, more affordable and sustainable treatments and regimens in the context of a public health approach. 2. Work towards a highly effective and affordable nontoxic, once-daily fixed-dose combination regimen for first-line treatment. 3. Promote minimal sequencing of maximally effective regimens. 4. Recognize the increasing importance of concurrent infections and comorbidities, especially tuberculosis and aging-related diseases. 5. Incentivize R&D innovation in an environment of diminishing industry investment in HIV-treatment research. A number of top priorities were identified at CADO 2. This included recommendations for developing a new first-line combination regimen embodying all aspects of the TPP for use in resource-limited settings. Special attention was given to drugs with lower daily mass dose, and drugs that could be co-formulated. Two investigational drugs of high interest were the integrase inhibitor dolutegravir (DTG) and the tenofovir prodrug tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). DTG appears to have high efficacy, safety, and tolerability in Phase 3 trials, and is being dosed at 50 mg q.d. [7], or one-eighth the total daily dose of raltegravir at 400 mg b.i.d.. One particular advantage of using DTG in place of efavirenz in a first-line regimen is its effectiveness against HIV-2, a group of viruses inherently resistant to NNRTIs. In addition, DTG could be administered with rifampin if its dose is doubled during tuberculosis treatment [8]. TAF has shown great promise in early phase clinical trials, and at 25 mg q.d. is less than one-tenth the approved daily dose of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [9]. Although a fixed-dose combination of DTG + TAF + 3TC or FTC would be attractive for a number of reasons, there are still many clinical and regulatory hurdles to overcome before recommending this as first-line treatment. Beyond first-line, there is a need to develop simplified once daily FDCs for second-line regimens including boosted HIV protease inhibitors. The combination of darunavir with low-dose ritonavir or cobicistat has special attraction in this regard because of darunavir's high tolerability and low potential for toxicity compared with other HIV protease inhibitors [10]. Other high priority topics for research included strategies for enhancing clinical trial participation, and studies to incorporate the needs of special populations, including girls and women of reproductive age, tuberculosis co-infection, and long-term comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and other cardiovascular diseases. Also discussed were future changes in the HIV-treatment landscape, including the possible impact of long-acting injectable nanoformulated ARVs. Back to Top | Article Outline TREATMENT OPTIMIZATION IS ALSO PREVENTION OPTIMIZATION Although the focus of both CADOs was treatment and not prevention, it is increasingly certain that strategies focused on expanding the number of infected individuals who receive effective therapy will have prevention benefits. For example, provision of effective ART to the infected partner in serodiscordant couples reduced the transmission of HIV by 96% [11], an effect size greater than that of HIV vaccines, topical microbicides, or pre-exposure prophylaxis employing oral tenofovir [12]. In a more 'real-world' setting, adults living in a community in KwaZulu-Natal with up to 40% ARV coverage had an estimated 38% reduction in the risk of HIV acquisition compared with those living in a community with less than 10% coverage [13▪▪]. There is substantial overlap then between strategies being developed to treat HIV infection, and strategies to prevent HIV infection. Optimizing the safety, convenience, and availability of ART will help prevent more HIV infections. Lessons learned in developing the next generation of ARVs for treatment will inform the use of these same agents and formulations in prevention. Back to Top | Article Outline SUMMARY The AIDS epidemic is going to be a serious global public health priority for the long term, requiring commitment, investment and innovation. Reaching genuine universal access to HIV treatment means developing combination antiretroviral regimens that approach an ideal target product profile of complete effectiveness, safety, convenience, acceptability, and low cost. New drugs and formulations developed over the past decade come closer to meeting such standards. Significant challenges to treatment optimization include compatibilities of drugs for concurrent infections such as tuberculosis and aging related comorbidities. Harmonization of treatment guidelines for adults, children, and pregnant women is another long-term goal without a simple solution. The weight of evidence needed to change clinical practice is large, and will require investment. Systems of drug regulation are improving in ways that benefit patient access, but unnecessary hurdles persist. Cooperation between legacy and generic pharmaceutical companies, regulators, payers, investigators, and affected communities could be significantly improved. But the pieces are in place to achieve the objectives of treatment optimization, and the next decade is certain to see even greater progress.

Can you hear Verizon Communications (VZ) now?
The telecom giant recently delivered strong Q3 results as it continued to recover from some rough spots in 2011.
Verizon Communication's earnings rose 14% to 64 cents a share — the third straight period of double-digit growth. Sales grew 4% to just over $29 billion.
Results were lifted by the launch of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5. Verizon Communications said it added 1.54 million postpaid wireless customers with contracts in the third quarter, up from 882,000 in the year-ago period. Overall, the company added 1.76 million retail customers overall in Q3, up from 1.34 million a year earlier.
Revenue from wireless climbed 7.3% to $19 billion, which accounted for about 66% of total sales.
Verizon Communications' earnings have been stuck at $2.15 a share for the past two years, but analysts are expecting a higher number this year. The company is expected to deliver a profit of $2.47 a share, which would mark its best performance since 2007.
The stock has a three-year Earnings Stability Factor of 4, indicating a steady stream of profits.
Verizon Communications has a long history of paying shareholder dividends. After holding its payout steady in the early 2000s, the company has steadily raised its dividend.
In September, Verizon Communications raised its quarterly dividend by 3% to 51.5 cents a share. On an annualized basis, it pays $2.06 a share, up from $1.54 a share in 2004.
The stock has a yield of about 4.6% — the lowest among the 10 dividend-paying stocks in the Telecom Services-Integrated group. But Verizon Communications has the best Composite Rating among its fell dividend payers.
The company is still awaiting word of a possible dividend payment from its Verizon Wireless joint venture with Vodafone (VOD). At its third-quarter conference call, Chief Financial Officer Frank Shammo said that the matter will be discussed before the end of the year.
Verizon Communications has retreated as market volatility increased. The stock is slightly below a 46.51 buy point in a flat base.

We study the space geometry of a rotating disk both from a theoretical and operational approach; in particular we give a precise definition of the space of the disk, which is not clearly defined in the literature. To this end we define an extended 3-space, which we call "relative space:" it is recognized as the only space having an actual physical meaning from an operational point of view, and it is identified as the "physical space of the rotating platform." Then, the geometry of the space of the disk turns out to be non Euclidean, according to the early Einstein's intuition; in particular the Born metric is recovered, in a clear and self consistent context. Furthermore, the relativistic kinematics reveals to be self consistent, and able to solve the Ehrenfest's paradox without any need of dynamical considerations or ad hoc assumptions.

Nearly this past year Sonos launched its newest flagship wireless audio using the second generation Play:5 (evaluation), and today Sonos is getting ready to create information again having a press function in Nyc later this month.
Sonos today teased 'the Continuing Future Of Audio at Home' by having an invitation to 'Appear notice how it's all linked' on August 30 at a personal press function in Nyc. Betting in the press request (under), the statement might protect new software functions visiting the instant audio system or maybe a new item that works together with Sonos speakers.
Since this past year, Sonos has additionally incorporated with Apple Audio to flow audio in the membership support straight to Sonos speakers — initial in beta subsequently for all clients.
Sonos has also freely mentioned focusing on Amazon Match-like voice-control functions, though that transfer was just introduced in March therefore it can be a small soon-to observe anything fresh on that entrance.
We'll keep you published with whichever Sonos has in store for July 30 so stay tuned in.

Frozen Home Run Inn Pizzas are good at home, but we expected freshly made pizza when we visited.....just heated a frozen pizza!
We always enjoy a nice Home Run Inn pizza. The quality and taste never changes. Get the basic sausage and cheese. You will not be disappointed.
Their pizza is simply incredible! The cheezy bread, for an appetizer, is really filling. So filling, in fact, that we couldn't finish the pizza!
Ordered two extra large pizza's during Super Bowl. And they rushed the order it did not taste as good. and was not cooked right. bad news...Maybe the cook rushing to complete orders.Also the young girls who answer phones are so clueless..........
Me and my family had an extra large pizza which was hot and tasty with plenty of left-overs. I also ordered the cheesy bread which was not what I expected, and the sauce that went with the bread should've been more hotter.
Home Run Inn has good pizza.....no question about that. My issue, after stopping last night, is the price. $20+ for a 14 inch one topping pizza? Really! Appears to me to be way over priced. Service was good, the wait not too bad given it was Friday night night. The room is loud, not really good for "date night". Many... More

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm going to add this to the list of things I never thought I'd have to know. I rented out my old house to tenants effective last month. Rent is current. The tenants apparently held a New Years Eve party. Somebody at that party got overly drunk. My tenant claims to have kicked him out of the house. The guest of my tenant winds up being found dead one street down. What is my liability? If you have additional questions I can try to answer if I have the information. The situation is still developing.
Dear Erie Landlord:
I am an attorney licensed to practice law in New York. i do not practice law in Pennsylvania.
Try to remove this post. Your statement here may be used against you in any litigation for the death of the guest. Admissions of fact, however innocent it may seem to you, will be used to build a case. Contact an attorney right away.
The answer provided to you is in the nature of general information. The general proposition being that you should try to avoid a bad outcome if you can.Ask a similar question
Likely nothing. Landlords are not responsible for the activities of their tenants. It would be very, very difficult for any of this liability to come back to you. If someone does make a claim, you'll want to get in touch with your insurance company immediately.

It can also keep us from thinking about protecting ourselves from the winter flu bug — until it's too late. The prime time for getting flu shots, from mid-October through mid-November, is already past, said Nanette Burkhardt of the Comal County Department of Health. It takes about two weeks for the immune system to kick in after getting the vaccination. That's why the earlier the better for the shots, Burkhardt said. "We will be giving the shots through the month of December, though," she said. Flu season lasts all the way through February, said Dorothy Overman M.D., Comal County health officer. "You can still get vaccine," she said. Flu shots are recommended for all adults, especially those who come into contact with a lot of people at work. like teachers. At risk for serious consequences from a flu infection are people over age 65 or "anyone with long-term illness or health problem — those are the high risk groups," Burkhardt said. "Who we worry about are the young patients or the elderly — those w ith diabetes, hypertension or asthma." Overman said. Those patients can contract a sinus infection, bronchitis, or pneumonia, which need to be treated with antibiotics There is a medication to help elderly people who have the flu. Overman said. "The things doctors worry about is elderly patients not realizing how sick they can get with it." lf you think you've already contracted influenza, here are the symptoms to look for high fever, headaches, muscle aches, cough, congestion. Some patients even have vomiting and diarrhea. Overman said. Recommended treatments are rest and lots of fluids. Stay in bed and keep from sharing your flu virus at the workplace or school, she said. "Any child with fever should not be in school." There's no easy w ay to tell if your flu is developing into a bacterial infection like pneumonia, so "go to see the doctor if symptoms are continuing or getting worse," Overman said. This year the health department offers vaccinations against three strains of flu A-Texas, A-Johannesburg, and B-Harbin. Comal County residents can get flu shots at the Comal County Health Department, 178 E. Mill behind the county courthouse annex. Vaccinations are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8 and 11 a m. and I to 4 p.m. The vaccinations cost $10 at the health department. Herald-Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Woman escapes injury when car burns A Canyon Lake woman escaped disaster yesterday when her car burst into flames on Highway 46. Jean Ann Elliott, 40, of Canyon Lake, was driving toward Canyon Lake on Highway 46 yesterday afternoon near the 2000 block, according to New Braunfels Police records. A tractor was pulling a mower which was mowing the highway's right of way. Elliott s car hit the outside edge of the mower, police reports said, and spun around, hitting a utility pole. New Braunfels Police, fire and EMS responded to the call at 1:59 p.m. A man told police he had gotten out of his car to help the woman escape her car. She was not in the car when it caught fire. New Braunfels Police Lieutenant John Wommack retrieved the woman's purse from just outside the flaming car. New Braunfels EMS took Elliott to McKenna Memorial Hospital. Police search for man wanted in fraud case By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer Comal County Sheriffs Deputies are on the lookout for an elderly man who allegedly conned a Canyon Lake couple into investing in a fraudulent land deal during the summer. Detective Bill Faulkner said. On Friday, Justice of the Peace Ray Martinez signed a warrant for the arrest of Floyd Robert Perry, 5 S. of Colleyville, Texas for securing execution of a document by deception. His bond was set at $50,000. Perry is a w hite male w ho is six feet tall, weighs 23S pounds, has brown eyes and dark hair. I Ie is know n to has e various tattoos on his body and has used the aliases Robert Dunn, Floyd Edwards, Bob Edwards and Mason Perry. "Evidently, he is pretty slick," Faulkner said. "This guy is st> good that this couple took him in as their ow n son. He is able to win people's confidence." Faulkner has reason to believe that Perry may have tried to victimize other elderly couples in the Canyon Lake area. Canyon Lake is not the only place where he has tried to con people, police believe. Perry was arrested in Johnson County for allegedly bilking a 90-year-old man out of his life savings Iii late September, Perry was released from the Johnson County Jail after he posted a $200,000 'This guy is so good that this couple took him in as their own son.' — Detective Bill Faulkner bond. Perry met the elderly couple in early June w hen he was traveling with a friend, who worked with a Dallas area insurance company which sells small burial insurance policies. Faulkner said. Perry had worked for the insurance company before, but had been fired a year earlier, allegedly for trying to get people inv est in fraudulent inv estments, [xiiice said. "What he (Perry) did is that he came back to his friend who worked at the insurance company and told him he was down on his luck," Faulkner said. "This gentleman told him (Perry ) to travel with him." A few weeks later. Perry borrowed his friend's red Sable and visited the elderly couple by himself. Faulkner said Perry began to talk to the couple about his troubles and that the couple opened their hearts to him and began to talk about their own troubles, especially about the subject of retiring. Perry stayed w ith the couple for three or four days. W hen the couple mentioned how hard it would be for them to retire. Perry told them he had a land deal they could invest in. Faulkner said. Perry, using the alias Robert Dunn, allegedly told the couple to sell their car and that he would use the money from the sale to invest in the land deal. Taking Perry 's advice, the w ife, accompanied bv Perry , went to a San Antonio used cai dealer and sold the car for $6,000 Faulkner said Perry gave the couple a promissory note of $7,500, which Perry allegedly said would have been the profits from the initial investment plus the interest. It was agreed between the car salesman and the woman that she could buy back her car w ithin two weeks for $'.500, Faulkner said. But the couple never saw all of their money again, because Perry allegedly gave the couple only SI,500 and disappeared with $6.(MK) The Sheriffs Department ha' gotten some leads into the case, Faulkner said, faulkner is hoping the man who traveled with Perry the first time will give a statement soon. Perry returned the red Sable to the man. but did run up a $500 bill on the car's cellular phone. Faulkner said "This is still an ongoing investigation, faulkner said. "There is a possibility that another mdiv idual worked w ith him on the scams. I hope lie did not hurt any other people in this area Faulkner encouraged those people w ho have a > information that could lead to Perry *s arrest to ..all the Sheriffs Department at 620-34(H) or the lake office at 885-4883. City community development director looking for new job By ROGER CROTEAU City Editor Penelope Church Doherty , the city's community development director, resigned her post last night at a meeting of the Community Dev elopment Adv isory Committee. IXiherty went to work for the city as Main Street director in 1991, and has been the community development director since 1993. She is responsible for the administration of federal Housing and Urban Development grant funds, and making sure the city qualifies for the funds. "I have been interested in making a change for some time," Doherty said. "This is a good time for the program and a good time for me, personally, and my family." She pointed out the city is ready to begin four construction projects using grant money — two major drainage projects, the downtown sidew alk renovation and renovation of the old downtown train depot — "and it will be an easier transition if a new' person can start those projects and not join in midstream," Doherty said. Doherty said it is impossible to single out one accomplishment Doherty she is most proud of, but mentioned bringing the Main Street program to the attention of the public, working on the restoration of the Playa fountain and helping build up the Community Development Block Grant program. Doherty w ill stay at her job until at least mid-January , so that a new community development director can be hired and she can help with the transition. Doherty promised to stay involved in community development issues. "The program is very near and dear to my heart," she said.

We had a super trip and a nice stay. Plenty of space and super service. We will be back... :-)
We already had a very nice contact with Albertino. We could ask him everything :) Albertino gave us also a fantastic taxidriver! We had to wait for a missing bag, but the driver was so nice and kindley and wited the whole time! The appartment was fantastic! Very central, clean, nice livingroom and lots of sleeping rooms. We had two bathrooms and a nice kitchen. Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend in beautiful Lisbon!
This Holiday flat is in a great location, a few minutes from the metro and under ten minutes from the train station. It was comfortable for six single persons, my only major complaint was there wasn't enough cooking pots and pans (Yes, I like to cook!).
We were given a friendly welcome by one of the staff and a adequate induction for the flat. The flat was was in a clean and orderly state. During our stay we had two problems; one power cut, WiFi stopped working for a couple of days. However in both cases, the response was quick and resolved.
Overall we were given good service and the apartment was well decorated and functional.
We were 6 people who lived in the apartment and all had major problems with noise from the roads around. It was not air conditioned and very hot inside. The distance to the center was a little long. It was not pleasant in the living room. I would not stay here again.
Very nice and clean apartment. He also indicates the arrival much information about the city, which is a nice extra on the already good service! Also, we could leave the luggage all day in the apartment because we stand at night only flew back to the Netherlands.
Zeer mooi en schoon appartement. Ook geeft hij bij aankomst nog veel informatie over de stad, wat een mooie extra is op de toch al goede service! Tevens konden we de koffers de hele dag in het appartement laten staan omdat we 's avonds pas terug naar Nederland vlogen.
Paulo was very friendly and gave us useful information . The apartment was clean and well located . It was a great stay in Lisbon . We would always like to go back to this apartment again . Price performance was fine
We really enjoyed this really very tasteful, comfortable apartment. In the morning breakfast on the balcony with a wonderful view of the Tagus River and the Old Town, in the evening the sunset ....! Albertino has warmly welcomed us with a bottle of wine and a lot of information and also drove back to the airport. The location is so central, everything is within walking distance. A tip: Always nice to go slowly uphill, as the Lisboaer do it, never rush or push. The different viewpoints on this beautiful old town and the flea market at the Campo de Santa Clara, Tuesday and Saturday are highly recommended. The famous elevator (Santa Justa) -Now yes- there was us, the long wait to shame! Be sure the Oceanario at the Parque das Nacoes See -einmalig - !!! We are excited by both the city and its inhabitants and the great home and will be back !!!
Wir haben diese wirklich sehr geschmackvolle, komfortable Wohnung sehr genossen. Morgens das Frühstück auf dem Balkon mit einem wunderbaren Blick auf den Tejo und die Altstadt, abends den Sonnenuntergang....! Albertino hat uns herzlich mit einer Flasche Wein und vielen Informationen empfangen und auch wieder zum Flughafen gefahren. Die Lage ist so zentral, alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Ein Tipp: Immer schön langsam bergauf gehen, wie die Lisboaer es tun, niemals hetzen oder drängeln. Die verschiedenen Aussichtspunkte auf diese wunderschöne Altstadt und der Flohmarkt auf dem Campo de Santa Klara, Dienstag und Samstags sind sehr zu empfehlen. Den berühmten Aufzug (Elevador de Santa Justa) -nun ja- da war uns die lange Wartezeit zu schade! Unbedingt das Oceanario im Parque das Nacoes anschauen -einmalig-!!! Wir sind sowohl von der Stadt und deren Bewohnern und der tollen Wohnung begeistert und werden wiederkommen!!!
Very cozy apartment with all the amenities, we were 11 people and all were perfectsmente installed.
Piso muy acogedor, con todas las comodidades, éramos 11 personas y todas estuvimos perfectsmente instalados.
Albertino has been an amazing host. He has been helpful and nice. His house is beautiful, warm (quite important at night in Lisbon), full of light, quiet, clean... We really loved to stay there and for sure we are going to repeat the experience asap. THANK YOU

Katie then Ben: Close to breaking point.
Marti was still giggling at poor, uncomfortable Ivory, but I'd rather she met him first than one of the others, like say Ben.
"So what's it like being a unicorn?" Marti asked, her eyes alight with childish innocence and curiosity. Before Ivory could answer though a very panicked Victoria rushed past. I told marti to stay where she was and caught Victoria's arm.
"What's going on?" I asked. A question echoed as Darlton walked out of a nearby building and saw Victoria confusion.
"I think I saw....no, its not think. That man from the TV" I felt my blood freeze, Oh course. He would've never stay in the car. Miss an opportunity to see the famous and mysterious university of monsters?
"You mean Stephen Redding? Are you serious?" Darlton was somewhere between surprise and excitement. I guess there were a lot of people here who would love to find him and hurt him. I glanced over to Marti, who met my gaze. She herself looked mad. She didn't like anything her dad did. When she found out I managed to get into this university she asked to go herself. But he wouldn't let her, god forbid his daughter go to such a place, he had a reputation to uphold, ugh.
"You should go down there and join your friends" Claudia said, she was gazing out her window. I got up and joined her to see my "friends" below us. Looked like something big was going on. The door crashed open and in stormed a very angry bull.
"Bruce, whatever is the matter?" She asked, her voice calm as she moved to a small storeroom. She pulled out a bowl of some kind of leaf, it looked freshly picked. The bull took it and munched on a few leaves before his eyes lost their angry glow and he collapsed into one of the chairs.
"What's wrong?" She asked a second time, sitting at her desk and placing her hands in one another on top of the smooth wooden surface.
"Stephen Redding is here" He replied. I saw the skin of her neck grow tight, showing ancient veins.
"Ben, go join your friends" She said.
"Who's Stephen Redding?" I asked, my brain drawing a blank.
"The bigot hosting that anti-monsters show" The bull muttered angrily. Now it clicked, and I understood the anger. I really hated that guy, in fact if I was ever gonna actually kill a human it would properly be him. At that thought I felt the blood lust flare. Only it was more blood anger. Yay for being a vampire during adolescence.
"There's synthetic blood in the storeroom Ben, now go" it wasn't a suggestion, it was a firm command. I hesitated, wanting to protest. But I knew it'd be pointless so I grabbed the bottle of synth and walked out, closing the heavy doors behind me.
I ripped the top off the bottle and brought it to my lips. I fought back the urge to spit it back out. I'd always known synth wasn't pleasant, but now that I'd actually tasted human blood I realised just how bad it tasted. I remembered Katie's blood again and scolded myself. I had to stop doing that. I finished the bottle in a few short gulps and threw it in the nearest bin before heading outside. I hoped my fangs would stop throbbing with disappointment and go away before I found the others.

Canada gets an occasional jealous stare from its neighbors to the south for its comprehensive health care system and clean city streets, but soon Canadians might really have something to brag about: free chocolate.
A class action suit brought against several chocolate companies is potentially nearing its completion, as the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled on Friday that a proposed settlement could proceed. The suit, filed in 2008, claims the Canadian arms of several chocolate manufacturers -- including Nestle, Hershey, Mars, and Cadbury Adams -- colluded to artificially inflate the price of such candy staples as M&Ms;, Oh Henry!, Smarties, and Caramilk bars.
The suit portrays the defendants as dark underlords of the candy world, alleging that representatives from each company secretly met to discuss the conspiracy, and that the companies withheld their products from stores that sold candy at lower-than-recommended prices.
The settlement offer was made solely by Cadbury Adams, which said it would be willing to pay $5.7 million to extricate itself from the proceedings. Cadbury also agreed to provide potentially valuable information about the other three defendant companies. None of those companies is on board with the offer, and Hershey has announced that it is appealing the judge's decision to let the settlement go forward.
Still, attorneys for the plaintiffs are optimistic.
"We were able to negotiate a very favorable settlement," said Luciana Brasil, an attorney involved in the proceedings. "If we're able to ultimately resolve all the claims against the other parties, then all [plaintiffs] are going to potentially benefit. Whether that will mean a direct financial benefit or some other kind of benefit, we don't know."
But Charles Wright, another lawyer involved in the suit, said the average consumer has lost so little money in the alleged scheme that he wouldn't even be entitled to a single candy bar.
"It's going to take a lot of chocolate bars to make the claim big enough to make it worth anybody's while to evaluate it individually," Wright said.
The suit, which grew out of an investigation by Canada's Competition Bureau, was brought on behalf of any person who bought one of the subject products in Canada between 2001 and 2008.

Advanced Technical Support "Technical Support" corporation you are told to contact when Microsoft informs you that drivers in your computers needs to be replaced. The "technician" who answers the phone replaces the drivers and informs you that the computer has many problems and would I like them to run a diagnosis., after which they offer to tune up it up, plus install support software, etc. You end up with a major bill, but it is supposed to cover two year service. The hell begins then. Could be anywhere in the USA Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

I was having problems with my printer, and I contracted Staples to come to my home and work on my printer and tune-up my computer. This was done in three hours, and the printer works well since. However, the mess on my computer continues ever since. Soon after I got a message from Microsoft that I needed to replace six drivers, and was given a technician's Phone number to install the drivers. I called the technician and he proceeded to install the drivers.
When he finished installing the drivers, he asked,"did you notice that you computer is very slow"? "Not only is it slow" I responded. "I constantly get pot ups that interrupt my work and I get so frustrated and give up and do something else because nobody can work with constant interruptions." He asked if he could run a diagnosis of the computer, and I agreed that it would be a good idea. After an hour or so, He showed me on the screen a copy of the screen, showing pages of error after error, page after page. I was more than flaggergasted, because this computer is fairly new. He asked if I would like his company to repair everything that was wrong with the computer, and install "Panda", which according to him was one of the best security systems, told me that he had gotten approval from his Manager to sell Panda to me for a reduced price of $195, a product that sells for $400, and charge for the Panda, labor, installing a software to speed the computer, the whole package for around $400. I told him I would have to think about it.
We talked the next morning and I gave him the go ahead. It took him six hours to do the work. When he was done, Panda had not been installed, and there were other problems, the pop ups continued to pot up. I called him the next morning. He apologized, and he promised that all the work would be completed that day. Another at least four hours wasted when I could not do anything.
For a while, the computer ran OK, but the computer became sluggish again, and though I could use the software that I had used in the past, somehow the tools for each of the different software were not working as efficiently or were not working at all. I had to call Advanced Technical Support on two or three occasions, and they were never able to solve the problems, or either provide proper information so that I could help them enter remotely into my computer. If my migraines stopped ten years ago, they were slowly but surely coming back.
Then, Chris, one of the Technicians at Advanced Technicians begin to call out of the blue and tell me that he needed to access my computer because he had been monitoring it and he could see that there were all kinds of problems. I already suffered from Identity Theft at the tune of $32,576 in 2011, and this individual informs that that he is monitoring my computer? Isn't that illegal? At first, I allowed him to enter my computer remotely, knowing that he worked for Advanced Technical Support. However, his calls have become more frequent to the point that he appears to be a stalker. As I see it, a client calls the corporation when and if he needs help. I do need help because my computer is in much of a need of help as when I first contacted this corporation. However, I am know becoming afraid of this man. I would have tried to report this to their company directly, but I don't have their address.
To top it all, when I entered into a contract with them, it was supposed to be an annual contract. The ammount I paid was supposed to cover for annual tune up and repair and any services required during the year were included in the one time payment. However, I have noticed that they are charging me every month for the worthless services forced on me. How do I stop them from harassing me on the phone, continuing to charge for services included in the one time annual price, which should be refunded to me because the computer was never fixed and will burn up because it is running too hot?
Thank you for listening. I must admit that I have had to take the phone of the hook to avoid this the technician Chris. The thought of talking to him makes make my skin crawl. I was stalked when I was fifteen years old. Just by talking to him on the phone gives me the same sensation of fear and discomfort.

I use to work for AT&T as a Uverse Tier II Technician and we also sold a service called ConnecTech to people who called in with computer issues. Many of their issues were very easy to diagnose and fix but per AT&T mgmt we could never inform them of this. We had to push this unnecessary and expensive service off to them. We were forced to take advantage of them. AT&T was a super greedy company and they often took financial advanatage of their customers. Their salesmen would go door to door and sell Uverse to individuals who were in locations that weren't fully set up to recieve the service and who would have continually degraded and non working services. These poor saps would call in for months and sometimes years with pixilating and freezing cable service, dropping home phone service, and spotty and often non working internet and we would see notes in the system where the technicians had stated they could do nothing as the person was in an area not fully set up to even get the service and shouldn't have been sold the service and we were forbidden by AT&T managers to even tell them.
Same thing with the computer service.
Chances are you have a virus on your computer. Virus can make the computer very sluggish. You mentioned constant popups and that also sounds like an "adware" virus. They can remain on your computer "hidden" deep within your hard drive until a certain programmed time. People keep clicking on the popup trying to click the x to make it go away and another ad pops up. People create these types of virus that infect the users computer normally by the user downloading and opening an infected link or attachment usually in an email or by the user visiting porn sites which are infected with viruses and worms. You have to have security software. May I suggest Norton Antivirus or McAfee Antivirus. These are the two most well known on the market.
You need a complete sweep of your hard drive. All information you type can be at risk of being seen by a third party.
Last, another issue you could be having is that you are running out of space on your hard drive (which also slows the computer down) and you need to delete some programs off your computer or add more RAM (memory). I understand its a new computer but if you have teenagers or kids (who download a lot) or you're the type to upload a lot of documents and pictures and music yes that could be the problem too. Hope this helps.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Heartbreaks can be painful.
And at times, nothing can heal heartbreak better than a perfect rebound relationship.
[Read: Rebound relationships and why they're perfect after a breakup]
But are you in an intentional rebound relationship?
Do you think you're really serious but find yourself getting confused about whether you're actually in a rebound relationship?
Signs of a rebound relationship
If you're in a rebound relationship, it's always best to tell your new lover that you're not ready for a serious relationship just yet.
It'll help both of you take things slowly without too many expectations or heartbreaks.
Here are 15 rebound relationship signs that can help you understand the emotions you're going through.
If you find that you're experiencing more than a few of these signs, there's a good chance you're in love only to get over an older love!
#1 You just want to date someone, anyone. If you've been dumped by your ex or have experienced a bad relationship, you helplessly get drawn to anyone who gives you attention.
Your mind subconsciously wants to experience love again, and even if you want to avoid dating for a while, you can't help but fall into the trap of love almost immediately.
#2 The sex is great. But you have no idea about how the relationship is going. You're having a lot of fun in your new lover's arms, but you don't even know what kind of a relationship you're in. You're more focused on the fun part of the new romance than the serious parts that really matter in a new relationship. [Read: New relationship advice to have a perfect start]
#3 You don't remember how you got over your ex. It takes time to get over someone you truly loved. For some, it may take a few weeks and for others, it may take several months. If you're already happy in a new relationship, but have no recollection of how you got over your ex, chances are you've rushed into something new before you could finish the last chapter of your old love. [Read: The right way to get over a broken heart]
It's a risky move because you've left the crucial ending unfinished and it may come back to haunt you when you're having a rough patch in your new relationship.
#4 You often talk about your ex with your new partner. It may seem like you're opening up to your new lover by frankly talking about your ex like you have no feelings for them. But deep inside, the whole reason you're talking about your ex with anyone who cares to listen is because you still have feelings for them. [Read: How to stop thinking about someone you like]
#5 You have mood swings. You may find yourself in a confused state of mind often even though you're happy in your new romance. Almost always, you'll be happy when you're with your new squeeze but depressed and confused when you're alone.
#6 You fantasize about your ex getting back to you. Do you spend a lot of time imagining scenarios that involve your ex? Do you like thinking about how your ex would feel seeing you in your new lover's arms, or do you wonder if your ex is still thinking about you?
You may try to convince yourself that you're over your ex and happy in a new relationship, but the fact that your ex still occupies so many of your happy thoughts means you're still not over them. [Read: Signs your ex is thinking about you]
#7 Your friends are surprised to hear that you're dating already. Your friends are at times the best judges of your dates and your love life. They can see the entire picture without being biased about your old relationship. If your friends think it's too fast, it probably is.
#8 You keep your eyes open. You want attention. You just want to reassure yourself that you're still hot stuff and can get attention whenever you want. You find yourself constantly looking out even though you're in a new relationship already.
#9 You don't try to take things slowly. If you're truly in love, you'll be afraid to take chances or make any hasty moves. But if you're in a rebound relationship, all you'd want to do is go full speed ahead into the relationship because you don't really care about losing your new love.
#10 You're going with the flow. You're not trying to make the relationship work. You're happy and your new date is happy. You don't look for ways to keep the relationship alive. All you want is someone who can hold you when you want to be held.
#11 Old love memories in the open. You still have photos or memorabilia of your ex and you find yourself staring at it now and then. You know it's wrong, but you enjoy the torture of reminding yourself about the heartbreak. [Read: What should you do with old love letters?]
#12 You still feel weak when your ex says hello. Or you feel sick. Either ways, you experience extreme emotions when you see your ex. All you want is to be in a better place than your ex by ensuring that you're in a relationship with someone else. You try hard to convince yourself that you're now happier than ever before. [Read: Signs you're jealous of your ex]
#13 You look for ways to bump into your ex. You don't voice it out, but deep inside, you wish you could bump into your ex again. You hang out in your ex's favorite spots with your friends or even your new date, and secretly hope to see them again.
#14 You know you'll go back into their arms if they make an effort to woo you. You may hate your ex or feel relieved to have ended the relationship with them. You may even be happy with your new partner. But deep down inside, you know you'll step right back into your ex's arms if they just make a sweet move at you. [Read: Are you ready to date your ex again?]
#15 You don't feel like you're serious about the relationship. There's no bigger rebound relationship sign than this one. If you're in a relationship for any reason but love, it's a sure sign that you're only passing through a rebound relationship to bide your time. [Read: Revealing signs that tell if you are not in love]
Just because you're experiencing these signs of a rebound relationship doesn't mean your new found romance is doomed from the start.
These 15 rebound relationship signs can only reveal your current state of mind. The decision to enter the next phase of love or just play it casual is still in your own hands. [Read: How to love again after a breakup]
Use these 15 rebound relationship signs only to understand which stage of a relationship you're in since your breakup. And whenever you feel like you're ready, take the plunge into better things.

Pingback: Does Your Boyfriend Speak to His Ex All the Time? - Lovepanky()
Nothing wrong with dating soonmee else, but everyone is right, take it slow. If you're fresh out of a relationship, you're going to still be thinking about the ex. From my experience you'll bring baggage into the new relationship that shouldn't be there. You may compare this new person to your ex, which may not be fair. You may punish this new person for things your ex did that hurt you, things that this new person may do that just remind you of that hurt. You may not even really like this new person all that much once you get to know them, you just liked the feeling of not being alone and avoiding those feelings of being hurt because a relationship just ended. Just make sure you're dating this person for the right reasons.
say no to rebound relationships…we dont grow become mature and better which is a huge loss to us in life and more often than not people do rebound with playboys or normal ones but below their league and different types! Dr Rajan Bhonsle, a relationship counsellor, agrees, saying, "There's a reason it's called a rebound — it's a reaction to a break-up. That does not mean that every relationship that comes after a breakup is a rebound." But as a note of caution, he adds, "If it is a reaction to the end of a relationship, then getting into it is like cheating yourself and your new partner. Noone can get over someone too soon, and you'll be using your new relationship as a crutch for dealing with the pain.
It feels hellish to lose someone who was once so close to you and then find they are in another relationship so soon. But even if you know it's a rebound, you can't help but feel that twinge of anger, jealousy, sadness for it… a lot of people try to get over relationships this way but its always going to be a drama when your friends and family see you jumping from relationship to relationship. The best way to get over a relationship is to focus on yourself… for me personally, I took up a major passion for freestyle dancing and as a result get much more attention from other women, including my ex who is insanely jealous that my new partner is better looking.
Life has a strange way of working things out! Stay strong 🙂
Be careful what you are throwing away.."The Grass is always Greener on the other side". BUT..After the novelty wears off and you grow a bit….Well
maybe that new grass may have more "Brown Spots" than the Grass you left..
I was with my ex for a little over 4 and a half years, engaged since 8 months in. For the last two years we lived together. We also work together. I felt blindsided. Work slowed down and we started having financial difficulties. He became depressed, and I wasn't aware of it til he started drinking. Then, he said we should take a break to work on ourselves. He wanted to start living a healthier lifestyle and felt he couldn't do it with me and my 9 year old son in the house (no willpower for junk food, I suppose) and thought I should get in a better spot financially. He took my ring back. Said he was going to move a mutual friend in to help with the bills that I was paying. I find out that he moves a girl in that he'd been talking to since around Halloween (he moved me out on Monday the week of Thanksgiving) the same week he moved me out. He met her at our workplace – she was a customer. I had my suspicions when he mentioned seeing other people when he suggested we take a break. I started asking questions and found she's an exact opposite of me (parties, drinks, smokes, etc) and seems to not have anything in common with my ex besides she like to drink and gamble (from what I see and know to be true). Now, there was a 2-3 week period between him breaking up with me and moving me out; I was still thinking we were together since we lived together. We even had sex one last time in that time frame. But, when I found out that he moved her in and then PROPOSES a week later, I lost it. I thought, how can he do that to me? How can he do that to her? Is he crazy? Is she crazy? Doesn't she see that she's a rebound and she's only there because he can't live on his own? It's been about a month since he's seen me outside of work. I've been working out a lot since before our split and he's noticed. He tells me that, even though he's engaged, that I'm the prettiest girl he's ever been with and that he still cares and worries about my son and me. He even got him a Christmas present, which didn't sit well with me or his new fiancee (my son is from my 1st marriage). I have to remind him of the harsh words he said to me as to why he dumped me and that his new fiancee should be the prettiest girl to him and that he needs to worry and care about her, if he's as over me as he says he is. I'm still in love with him and am having a hard time moving on. I never would've gotten involved with a co-worker if I didn't think it was going to work out. But, for him to do say those things to me, and then brag about how much better this new girl is than me and how happy he is, I can't help but wonder if he really is. Is he in over his head? Is this a real rebound? Does he want what he can't have? Does he secretly want me back once I get on my feet again? I guess only he and God knows and time will tell. As for me, I'm putting in long days and hard work, focusing on bettering myself, and going out when it's for fun, not romance. Anyone else see their ex go from the fire to the frying pan? Did it last?

The word "sustainability" has been tossed around so often, that sometimes we forget to actually investigate the truth behind the claim. Have you been duped into purchasing a "sustainable" product only to later find out it is not really sustainable? Unfortunately, too many people have fallen prey to marketer's schemes to stating their products are sustainable. This distrust between consumers and products have caused many to rule out sustainable products. Here are 6 examples of how sustainable practices are important to our environment and to our way of life.
- Wildlife Preservation- Before you start to plant your first garden, the first step is to remove the existing plants in the area, right? Wrong! Never remove native plants in your yard. This will cause disruption in your yards natural processes. It is important to keep things natural in the dirt and in your yard.
- Water Efficiency- Always remember to treat water as a useful resource. Wasteful irrigation is anti-ecological and causes a great strain on our environment. Select plants suited for your environment, eliminating the need to overuse water and reducing the chance of harming your soil. Research how to use "greywater" for bathing, laundry, and dishwashing. Keep in mind "greywater" is not legal everywhere.
- Green Transportation- Green transportation has come a long way in the past decade. The construction of pathways for access to parks, gardens and green buildings has allowed for more people to walk or bike than drive. Biking and walking to work has proven to increase happiness and your overall health and well-being. Biking reduces gas emissions and poses much less of a threat on the environment than cars.
- Green Roofing- Creating a rooftop sustainable garden can be achieved with the help of professionals. It is important to choose the correct plants to and design efficient rainwater storage and drainage systems. A rooftop garden will improve the buildings sustainability by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the building in colder months.
- Vertical Gardening– Limiting your gardening due to the amount of space you have is no longer an excuse. Plants can grow vertically and inside, which is perfect for the big city apartment dweller. You can plan for living walls in your buildings construction, or you can do some DIY to make your own vertical gardens on the cheap. Gardening is a great and easy way to eat and live sustainable.
- Electricity Reduction- While the first step in switching from old-school light bulbs to energy saving light bulbs or solar power may seem pricey, the reduction in your energy bill will have you paid back in no time. When you choose to implement green electricity sources such as motion sensor lights, dimmers and LED, you will be on the right path to reducing your usage of electrical energy and on the way to electrical sustainability.
Sustainability can be more than just a buzzword for marketers. Living a sustainable life can be as simple as making a few smart choices and focusing on the environment. Next time you choose to purchase a product solely on its sustainable capability, take an interest in researching the claim. I hope these examples have inspired you to live a more sustainable life or at least consider some of the choices you make on a daily basis.
