Apple iPhone 5 More Environmentally Friendly Than The Samsung Galaxy S III?Apple iPhone 5 More Environmentally Friendly than the Samsung Galaxy S III?
From research conducted by HealthyStuff.org working with web iFixit, known that the iPhone 5 is more environmentally friendly than the Samsung Galaxy S III.
iFixit gives the ranking with a value from 0 to 5. Number 0 means that the device is made with a composition that is not harmful to the environment, while a score of 5 means that the device is composed of a material that is very harmful to the environment, such as lead, bromine, and mercury at high concentrations.
Quoted from 9to5Mac, the iPhone 5 has a value of 2.75, while the Samsung Galaxy S III has 2.99 points.
iFixit enter the iPhone 5 in the green zone, while the Samsung Galaxy S III is in the yellow zone.iphone5_hscheman
Indeed, the iPhone 5 is made from materials such as lead and mercury that are harmful to the environment. However, the amount of harmful content is not too high.
The results of this study as to prove Apple's commitment to reduce harmful substances in its products.
From these studies, it is known that the iPhone 2G on the basis of a list of "the concentration of materials that are not environmentally friendly" with a maximum value, which is 5, while the next iPhone was in the danger zone to the value of 3.91.
Apple began to prove their commitment to the iPhone 4S. The device is even more environmentally friendly than the iPhone 5. iPhone 4S has a value of 2.69.
To determine the chemical composition used by these devices, researchers from HealthyStuff.org using X-ray technology fluorescense spectrometry.
iFixit and HealthyStuff.org compare 36 smartphones in their research this.
Both sites named Motorola Citrus as the most eco-friendly smartphone with a value of 2.56.
Each year, there are 130 million cell phones are discarded by their owners. It turns out, of that number, only about 8 percent of devices that can be recycled. The rest, only to be environmentally harmful waste.

There's something a little odd going on in the world of sustainable living. Whether it's recycling your old jeans or eating home-grown kale, consumers are increasingly up for the idea of less is more and all that jazz. Big brands too are making a great show of helping their customers take the 'smart' option. So they're chivvying us into more fuel-efficient cars and urging us into organic cotton t-shirts.
The odd thing is that corporations are struggling to articulate not why we should bother with it all, but why they themselves should. The arguments outside the boardroom are plenty clear. As BioRegional and WWF's One Planet Living project spells out, we simply can't keep going as we are. Ever greater consumption of 'stuff' will eventually render the whole shebang – the natural environment, the global economy, modern consumer society – on its knees. That's a maybe. But the suits still need persuading.
"There's a clear and obvious golden chalice waiting of innovation, market share, etcetera, but there's some serious heavy lifting to do to get the business case up to par to bring this to scale", said Elisa Niemtzow, associate director of consumer products at the business-led group, BSR.
Together with UK communications specialist Futerra, BSR recently released a survey of top business leaders that suggests the vast majority (98%) of consumers will be interested in sustainable lifestyles by 2018. This "near total market transformation" should see a doubling in the number of businesses (currently 40%) already pushing sustainable products and services, the survey indicates. That's ambitious, even with the buy-in of the chief finance officer. Without him or her, the idea of a future in which we're all living sustainably ever after is woefully wishful.
Squishy economics
So why is it so difficult to construct a compelling business case? First, the selling points stink. Sustainable lifestyle advocates continue to insist on being way too defensive. Typically, their arguments revolve around issues like reduced risk, better reputation and regulatory compliance. That's fine if you're selling life insurance and want to cover the prospect of the world caving in but it's not a winner if you're trying to usher in a consumer revolution. For that you need dollar signs.
The Sustainable Lifestyles Frontier Group, a business-led network whose opinions form the basis for the survey results, understand the need for cash-centred thinking. The group's members, which include representatives from global brands such as Mars, eBay and Carlsberg, anticipate a shift in future debate. So going forward, expect to see terms like 'increased marketshare', 'sales growth', 'future proofing', 'brand loyalty' and 'business model innovation'.
While these arguments are welcome, many suffer from still being just a tad "squishy", admitted Solitaire Townsend, co-founder of Futerra. Three in five (61%) of those interviewed in the survey, for example, identify "difficulty quantifying intangible outcomes of action" as a major stumbling block. Finance director understand increased sales, certainly. But future proofing? Customer loyalty?
"You can make promises about how much money we will save if we are more energy efficient, but it's very difficult to say how much money we will make or save by helping our consumers be more energy efficient", Townsend admitted.
Other barriers exist as well. The most commonly cited obstacle was short-term market pressures (75%), followed by a lack of hard data about the business benefits (63%) and decision-makers "not understanding the concept" (51%).
Escaping pilot purgatory
The report throws up various ways to bridge the apparent "value gap" that affects the cause of sustainable living. The most convincing are also the most obvious: create new products and services, and change business models. Both are already happening. BSR's Niemtzow points to the Kindle e-reader from Amazon as a classic example of a "disruptive" product. AirBnB, the online travel rental platform, which now operates in 192 countries, provides a similar example from the perspective of transformative business models.
Yet great individual case studies don't necessarily translate into a great collective business argument. At the moment, we're stuck in "pilot purgatory", said Townsend: "It's only at scale that you get the sales and innovation benefits. You can't get those from a pilot."
For scale, you need consumers. At present, sustainable living appeals to a handful of eco-types but precious few others. Despite the survey's upbeat assessment of future consumer trends, it's forced to concede that only 2% of the public are currently "very interested" in the topic. That's hardly surprising, said Pat Dade, owner of polling firm Cultural Dynamics and an expert in consumer behaviour. The very term 'sustainable' is arguably the "most unsexy word you can think of", he noted. Affordable, convenient, easy, fun, cool: these are the credentials on which to market sustainable lifestyles.
Essentially, companies have to go beyond the eco and ethical arguments that won over the early adopters, and instead discover the themes that chime with the masses. That requires listening to consumers, something Dade said most brands are "rubbish at". Not that listening is easy.
"People don't actually say, 'I need shoes'", he said, by way of example. "They say, 'I need something that will cover my feet or will make me look cool.'" Likewise, most consumers won't explicitly ask for a 'sustainable' product or service. The trick is realising what they are in fact asking for, and answering that demand in a sustainable form.
There's a final irony in this whole debate. On the one hand, the majority of consumers have made plain their disinterest in sustainability as a branding exercise. On the other, they expect big business to act. "Context and motivations differ by country (but) consumers will forever expect companies to take the lead in reducing humankind's collective impact on the natural environment", said Pippa Goodman, commercial director at the Future Foundation. It's an oddity, for sure, yet one that business leaders will hopefully persist in resolving.

Outlook What is it about corporate culture in Japan that makes it so difficult to be upfront when things go wrong? One of the most striking aspects of the scandal that has seen the security of 77 million Sony PlayStation owners' personal data put at risk is that the electronics giant has taken a week to mention the problem. It may have taken action promptly to shut down the hacked network, but it was seven days before it announced why it had done so.
Japanese companies have form for being slow to react to corporate disaster. Tepco, the power giant that owns the earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged Fukushima nuclear plant, is still scrabbling to catch up with its initial failure to confront the accident more openly. Last year, Toyota's chief executive, Akio Toyoda, went missing for days on end as the car giant was forced to recall millions of vehicles amid fears they might have dangerous accelerator pedal faults.
Western companies can be opaque too, of course – BP was accused of being exactly that last summer – but it is odd that while Japanese business leaders are much more likely to make conspicuous public apologies when a scandal comes to light, they're often slow off the mark in the first place.
In a global economy, businesses can learn from each other. Western companies ought to say sorry more often. Sony and co need to appreciate that part of being accountable is owning up to problems more speedily.

Multi-purpose, hi-tech passenger kiosks for airports
Airports across the US are about to find themselves on the receiving end of some fancy toys for passengers hanging around in departure terminals.
Around 60 Hudson News retail stores in airports dotted around the country will soon have a kiosk where passengers can recharge smartphones and access other services.
The slick units, produced by Keo Connect, have a phone connection system and other time-wasting tools and gizmos.
Users can check the weather at destinations, track departure and arrival information of flights, read news, business and sport bulletins.
Multimedia transfer kit is also to be included so users can organise files contained on SD cards, USB and other devices.
Still, best part still looks like the charging system (free, as well).

2,876 Consecutive Days of Creativity: Mike Winkelmann
I'm sure a lot of you have experienced stretches of time when you just don't feel creative; when your idea wells just dry up and you don't produce anything at all. Mike Winkelmann aka Beeple, has kept up a streak that's the opposite of that.
Mike Winkelmann has created something new everyday for the last 2,876 days. That's a new illustration, photo, 3d render, or graphic, started and finished every day for almost 8 years. That's like going to college twice but actually getting something done.
Started in May of 2007 (before the iPhone came out), Mike Winkelmann's projects called "Everydays," was a way for him to "get better at different things." It was a slow start for sure but after looking through his "Everydays," one can see not only an improvement in Mike's skills but also a refinement in his ideas. And judging by Mike's most recent works, we'd say that his Everydays definitely did the trick at making him better. Mike Winkelmann's work is superb. Have a look at his extensive portfolio of work.
His "Everydays" started out as illustrations which evolved into other disciplines such as graphic design, photography, and 3D rendering. This May of 2015 will mark Mike's 8 whole years of doing something new and working to get better at different things. Follow his progress on his Facebook page and his Twitter.

Stanley Cup Final: Nothing is certain, and that's just fine
We established after Game Three of the Stanley Cup final that the Boston Bruins play a suffocating style of game that forces the opponent to the outside, keeps bodies away from the front of the net and generally frustrates. What we now know after Game Four is that nothing is established. First example: There were 12 goals scored between the Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks over the first three games of this series. There were 11 in Wednesday night's game alone, as the Blackhawks bested the Bruins 6-5 in overtime thanks to a goal from Brent Seabrook at the 9:51 mark, to even the series at two games apiece.
This was a Blackhawks game from the beginning. Even though the Bruins stayed in it, matching the score each time the Blackhawks managed to gain a lead, they were constantly playing catch-up to Chicago. Not once Wednesday night did the Bruins have a lead, and though they were always able to eventually match the Blackhawks (and, given it went to OT, theoretically just as much a chance at winning), they owned the game about as much as a college student owns a dorm room – that is to say, they were there, but they never really settled in.
Chicago did not play a perfect game, but that they managed to create space and air to breathe, to poke holes in the wet plastic wrap that was the Bruins of Game Three, is all that really mattered. So they had five goals scored against them. So what? They knew how to score six. That change was a whole-team shift, but pairing Jonathan Toews with Patrick Kane (neither of whom had scored in the previous three games) on the same line from the start seemed to be that catalyst the Blackhawks were looking for all series. Why it took Coach Joel Quenneville four games to remember that combo can be a winning formula (see: West final) is a mystery, but nonetheless, it worked.
At the Toronto Star, Dave Feschuk described what happened this way:
"And sure enough, in Wednesday night's memorable goal-trading showdown, Kane and Toews and the Blackhawks made multiple things happen — many with Chara flailing and struggling in ways that made him appear more than human. There was Toews, tipping in the early second-period goal that gave the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead, this while Chara was on his knees in the crease with both Bickell and Toews unchecked on the doorstep. And there was Chara, looking less than masterful later in the frame, sliding into oblivion on his tummy while Marcus Kruger deposited the goal that made it 4-2 for the visitors."
On the other side, something went wrong with Boston's defense, both from its regular corps and its back-check. The first two goals were telling of the weaknesses the Bruins showed all evening. Watch Zdeno Chara on the Michael Handzus goal, the first of the night, which came off a turn over near the Chicago blue line:
After Monday's game, I figured Chara was made of stone. On that first goal, he looked more like spaghetti, his noodley arms just kind of slapping around as Brandon Saad just stepped around him to feed Handzus perfectly. Chicago's second goal was also the result of defensive laziness. It too came off a turn-over – this time in the neutral zone, off Chara's stick – but more importantly, Jonathan Toews was left standing by himself as Milan Lucic totally abandoned him after coming around the back of the net. So, he just buried the rebound.
It's difficult to blame one player for an entire team's downfall, but it's notable that Chara was a minus-3 on the night. That doesn't happen – or shouldn't happen – if you're a Boston team looking to hoist that Cup again.
Something else changed, finally, for Chicago Wednesday night. Not only did they get a goal on the power play, but it also came from Patrick Sharp, a man who had been held almost totally silent for the previous three games, and who had essentially dropped from view since about halfway through Chicago's Western final against the Kings. It does always seem that when Sharp is playing well, the Blackhawks have a good night. He was their go-to in much of the early-going of this postseason, that to see him back and scoring again when it mattered most was likely a boost on that Chicago bench Wednesday night – as well as probably a huge relief.
As for the goaltending, let's just call the night a bit of a write-off. The goaltenders were simply not the main event. The way these two teams were laying it out on the rest of the 200 feet of ice, Corey Crawford and Tuukka Rask, though at times both incredible, were relegated to a sideshow. Other nights have been about goaltending dominance; Wednesday was about pretty much everything else.
It did take an overtime period to end things, though, and once again – as it was with Detroit – it was Blackhawks defenceman Brent Seabrook who brought it home for Chicago.
What kind of game will we see Saturday night in Chicago? Which Boston defence will show up? And which Blackhawks scorers? This series is now assured at least six games, but if the hockey gods are fair and just (they usually are), we'll rightly get seven.

Thanks for sharing and glad it turned out as it did.
Yesterday at the range, I had a click instead of bang with one of my AR pistols. Immediate 'tap-rack-bang' drill resulted in a failure to go into battery, which a brisk poke at the forward assist didn't cure. OK, time to strip it down & see why it choked. Seems that it had something stuck in its throat:
Perfecta 55 gr FMJ, which I'd found to be adequate plinking fodder up til now. Apparent QC problem with missed powder charge.
The spooky thing here is that I heard no 'pop' from the primer, just a dry click. I'd always assumed I'd hear the primer pop in a case like this, Nope.
So, I'd have to say that any failure to go into battery after a T/R/B drill needs to be assessed, don't just beat the next round into battery. Excessive drama & unscheduled underwear change might otherwise result...
Thanks for sharing and glad it turned out as it did.
As far as not hearing the primer if you were wearing hearing protection that's not to surprising, especially if there were other on the line firing beside you. Since the bullet didn't exit the bore and the action remained closed the sound is going to be muffled pretty well in the situation.
I few year's back while hunting with my muzzle loader that uses shotgun primers my powder got wet and would not fire. I fired several primers until it apparently dried it out enough to push the bullet and mostly unburnt powder pellets out the muzzle. I was surprised at how much sound it DIDN'T make.
Two things:
1.) That bullet is reloadable.
2.) One dud round isn't a big deal. In manufacturing there's a term called DPMU which means Defects Per Million Units.
Even if the had a DPMU of 1:1,000,000 units which would be excellent by the way, with the amount of ammo they make someone will end up with a dud.
Squibs created by just the primer igniting, ALSO, hear the sound of the primer.

When it comes to planning a new design for a room in your home, it takes a lot of prep work. From hours scrolling through Pinterest to more hours sifting through paint chips, you can end up second (and third) guessing yourself a few times before you even move the first piece of furniture.
Not everyone needs to hire a designer for every room redo in their home, and with our design consultation service, you don't have to. You'll get your very own interior stylist BFF to share ideas with, ask questions, and get opinions.
Judgement free.
No funny remarks from your older sister about how that paint color looks like your old baby nursery.
No sympathetic "sure, that looks great" when it definitely does not.
And no advice from someone who has no idea what they're talking about.
You'll get straight honest feedback, genuine help and suggestions, and expert tips and ideas in a one hour internet chat session with Interior Stylist Lela Burris.
You can choose video, voice, or text chat, whatever you're most comfortable with, and you can even wear your pj's and house slippers if you want. All you need is a notebook, a pen, and some ideas.
You'll get all the help you can cram into an hour for just $97. That's less than the cost of an interior designer's first consultation fee before he or she even starts working in your home. You can use this time to focus on one specific project, prep for staging your home to sell, plan holiday decorations, or just get ideas to decorate and organize your home to impress house guests. Appointments are flexible and weekend times are available, as well.

About LEARN: Network Infrastructure
In collaboration with the public and private sector, LEARN's network spans over 3,200 miles across Texas. LEARN is built on dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical technology. This technology provides the capability to transport multiple high capacity signals over a shared optical fiber by using the different color wavelengths of laser light. DWDM is state-of-the-art technology that is very scalable and permits LEARN to leverage the initial investment by adding additional capacity at marginal costs.
LEARN is built on agreements with the private sector that provide the long term use of optical dark fibers and/or long term leases of optical wavelength capacity. When dark fiber is conveyed via an indefeasible right to use (IRU) agreement, LEARN provides the infrastructure to "light" the fiber and can add additional capacity, as needed. In wavelength capacity agreements, the service provider provides the infrastructure and bandwidth under the terms and conditions of the agreement.
Membership & Network Services
Each of the member institutions of LEARN pays $20,000 per year in dues, which funds the general administration of LEARN. Members are entitled to appoint an individual to the Board of Directors and to acquire network services from LEARN at member rates. Network services are enabled based on the needs of individual members and collaborations among our members. Unlike the membership dues, network services are funded by the members who consume the services. Network service rates are set at levels to enable and sustain current and future network requirements. Network services include:
- Layer 1 Transport Services Between LEARN Points-of-Presence (POP),
- Switched Layer 2 MPLS Services,
- Routed Layer 3 Services,
- Connection Gateways to the Internet2 National Research and Education Network,
- Colocation Services at LEARN Facilities,
- Commodity Internet Services, and
- Peering and Caching Services.
LEARN has received a Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) with the Universal Service Administration Company. Acquiring a SPIN number permits our school, library, and rural health customers to receive significant discounts through the Universal Services Fund.
The Board and the staff are committed to ensuring LEARN remains a customer focused organization. Enhancing our portfolio of services is a cornerstone of the strategic priorities, which are guiding our current initiatives. There is a broad consensus among our members that continuing to expand the scope of services, which are available from LEARN, creates operational efficiencies, provides additional options for customers, supports collaboration, and enhances the overall value of LEARN.

Location description from manager
The Asturias region
Asturias is one of the Spanish autonomies located on the Cantabrian coast, in the north of the Iberian peninsula. Its surface of 10,566 km2 stretches between the Cantabrian mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean, causing the area to have mild and rainy weather. The complexity of its orography and the proximity of the Asturian Massif to the coast has turned this region into a complex of summits, ranges and valleys drawn together by a wide network of short but plentiful rivers.
The territory can be differenciated in three well-marked areas: the coast, the mountains and the inner valleys. The proximity of the Cantabrian range to the coast makes for oceanic climate, without significant differences in temperature, with warm summers and mild winters.
With these mild seasons, Asturias boasts a great variety of floral and wildlife, as well as protected species of great ecological interest native to Asturias.
The extraodinary conservation of the mountains enables animals in danger of extincion to roam free. Bears, wolves and capercaillies are to be found living together with roe deers, foxes, chamoises, wiild boars, otters, a great variety of birds, insects and many different reptiles.
Advancing deep into the valleys and hills, there are countless forests full of beech, yew, oak, birch and holly trees, being the oak or "Carballo", being the most popular among the Asturian trees.
Due to its varied landscape, Asturias invites us to enjoy and explore its nature.
These are some of the most important natural reserves:
• Picos de Europa National Park – Biosphere Reserve
• Oscos-Eo Area – Biosphere Reserve
• Fuentes del Narcea, Degaña and Ibias Natural Park – Biosphere Reserve
• Somiedo Natural Park – Bopsphere Reserve
• Redes Natural Park – Biosphere Reserves
• Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Natural Park
• Ponga Natural Park
• Muniellos Natural Reserve
• Eo Ria Natural Reserve
• Barayo Natural Reserve
• Cueto de Arbás Natural Reserve
• Villaviciosa Ria Natural Reserve
• Peloño Natural Reserve
Gijón is a modern, hospitable and open city. It is surrounded by many green areas, sports installations and boasts a restored and protected historic-artistic heritage. Gijón is the home of fairs, conventions, congresses, great concerts as well as cultural and sporting events.
Washed by the Cantabrian Sea, it is located to the east of Torres Cape and to the west of Cervigón Point, along the resulting coastal inlet, which divided by the Santa Catalina outcrop, forms the Bay of Gijón or San Lorenzo Bay. The origins of Gijón are linked to the establishment, in the nearby Campa Torres, of a settlement that became known as Noega and was inhabited by the "Cilúrnigos". This settlement could have been as early as the 5th century B.C. After the Roman conquest, the village spread along the coast, creating a new town nearby, known as Gigia, on the Santa Catalina outcrop, the base of present day Gijón, towards the 1st century A.D. This settlement was protected by a wall (3rd century) and a jetty was built nearby. Medieval Gijón was founded on the Santa Catalina outcrop. The development of Gijón, after its resettlement which began in 1400, commenced with the Reyes Católicos (the Catholic Monarchs) who, in 1480 authorised the construction of a port, a project that took several centuries. Towards the end of the 18th century, Gijón became the maritime capital of Asturias and began its evolution as an industrial and commercial city until it became the largest city in the Principality. The opening of the road to Castile, the improvement of the docks and the establishment of a customs office for international maritime traffic were the main features that stimulated the growth of the city. During the 19th century, together with political changes, Asturias suffered a far-reaching economic and social transformation which began with an incipient industry based on the exploitation of coal mines and the production of iron and steel.
One of the most outstanding aspects in the development of Gijón was the establishment in Veriña of Uninsa (later known as Ensidesa, Aceralia and currently as Arcelor Mittal). Its construction and operation caused a massive migration of people from other parts of the region towards Gijón, as well as the construction of a new industrial area along the Aboño river, the growth of the port and the establishment of many small and medium size companies.
Gijón, historical, commercial and industrial, is the largest city in Asturias, where the sea, the gentle mountains and the town combine to make it one of the most attractive cities in the north of Spain. Its long beach, San Lorenzo, the promenade, the marina, the Black Week (Film Festival), it social life and festive atmosphere invite visitors to come to this cheerful, busy city where life is lived in the streets during the summer. But its tourist attractions are not limited to this; Gijón is a milestone on the Camino de Santiago (Route to Santiago) and has a number of museums and an extensive cultural offer (International Film Festival, Latin American Book Festival). Some of its museums are extremely original; the Railway Museum, International Bagpipe Museum, and others exhibit its distinguished past: the Birthplace of Jovellanos, Nicanor Piñole Museum, Revillagigedo Palace... There is the Aquarius of Asturias, and one of the Europa's best botanical gardens, the Atlantic Botanical Garden.
Laboral Cultural City, a project from the 40s stands out due to its size (its tower reaches a height of 120 metres), is the venue of multiple cultural activities. The neighbourhood of Cimadevilla, where old baroque buildings combine with modern constructions provide the area with an intimate personality, a mixture of the past and the present. And, of course, the gastronomic offer, the shops and the character of its people complete the image of this city.
Carnival or "Antroxu". These are the first festivities of the year, coinciding with the end of winter and the beginning of Lent, although profane aspects predominate over religious aspects.
Week of the Sea. Activities about the sea. From Saint John (24th June) to Saint Peter (29th June).
The Black Week. It started like a literary appointment concerning the "black" novel and now it is one of the most famous popular summons of Spain.
Day of Asturias. With the traditional parade with floats and folk groups.
Our Lady of Begoña, August 15th.

The Average Woman Spends 753 Hours of Her Life Taking Selfies
Let's assume from this point forward, we're going to be taking photos of ourselves until we die. And that means you'll spend a LOT of your life taking pictures of yourself.
A new study found that the average woman will now spend 753 HOURS of her life taking, retaking, filtering, and posting selfies. That's a full MONTH of your life.
(The study didn't figure out how much time men will spend taking selfies.)
The study also found the top tricks people use to try to make the photos of themselves look better. They are: Using soft mood lighting, shooting from a downward angle, using a slim body pose, and using Instagram filters.

The one bedroom apartment is ideal for couples, although it can comfortably accomodate up to four guests; two on the queen size bed in the bedroom and two on the queen size bed in the living room. The bathroom had two doors and opens both onto the bedroom and the corridor, making it comfortably accessible for all guests, while ensuring privacy for all. Right next to it there is the washing machine which is also a dryer.
The apartment will be entirely at your disposal, all amenities included. We provide towels and bed sheets, as well as complimentary toiletries, to render your stay as comfortable as possible.
The kitchen is fully equipped and ideal for enjoying some company while cooking, not being closed off from the dining and living room; perfect for preparing a sumptuous lunch or quick aperitivo together with friends. For the fresh produce the best option is about 10 minutes away; the farmers market on Piazza San Cosimato, a small but well equipped market with everything from vegetable and fruits over meat, fish and typical italian cured meats and cheeses.
HusreglerWe'd like our guests to be informed that since the 1st of January 2011 Rome City Council is asking for an overnight accommodation tax on tourist service in the city. This fee, 3.50 euros per night (10 nights maximum) per person (with the exception of children up to 10 years and in Rome residents), is not included in the total rate, and has to be paid cash upon arrival.
Late check-in:
We are happy to meet for check-in and hand-over of keys at any hour of the day, however we kindly ask you to understand that we charge for late check-in. This fee is to be paid in cash upon arrival; €30 after 20:30 and €50 after 24.

We spent a great weekend at the apartment of Emiliano and Maria, who were also very patient with us (Thank you again for that. :)). It's very spacious and comfortable and well situated just down the street from Vatican. We received 2 sets of keys, what was very useful, too. We were provided with everything necessary; towels, shampoo etc.
FYI: Just down the street is a great bar, where we had breakfast. They are making a great cappuccino there and had amazing cornetti as well.
I'd highly recommend staying there.
The apartment is ideally situated in cozy Trastevera. That said, the stay was somewhat disappointing. The apartment definitely needs to be painted and especially the bathroom needs to be refurbished. There is very little water pressure on the water in the shower. Also, there is a big hole in the wall above the door telephone. The kitchen is so small that it is almost unusable. The terrace was dirty. We paid DKK 10,700 for 9 days plus city tax, which is way too much.
Trastevere is the best place to stay, when in Rome. The apartment is fine, however a lot of noise from the street all the time also during night, that we didnt know! we were four persons, but only two wineglasses and two big towels in the apartment. The terrace was not ready for visitors, quite dirty and dusty. The bathroom needs to be fixed.
Three of my family members and I stayed in Rome for medical purposes. The apartment was very spacious for an apartment in the city, and the price was excellent for the size. Having a clothes washer, large bedrooms, and separate kitchen, dining, and living spaces was ideal and very convenient for our long stay. The couch is large and comfortable, and all three bedrooms have true double beds (none are twin beds pushed together), so you could stay up to 7 people very comfortably. The hosts responded to messages promptly and were very helpful in answering our questions before we arrived in the city. There is a grocery store, Carrefour, just a couple blocks away, and a market for fresh produce during the morning and early afternoon on the other side of the building. Go to Osteria dei Pontefici two blocks away for dinner, and Capitan Cono just a couple blocks further for gelato!
Definitely a place to recommend! We are coming back for sure.
The San Peter Garden House is extremely nice. Three large bedrooms, two well-equipped bathrooms and a combined kitchen/livingroom. The beds were very comfy, and the kitchen had all we could ask for in pots and pans, cutlery etc. We also used the little garden a lot, especially at night with the lights on.
From the window in one of the bedrooms you could spot the top of the St. Peters Church, and it looked especially magnificent at night.
The location was fine, and in great walking distance to the St. Peters Church and the Vatican Museum. You can also walk over the Tiber and get pretty easily to the piazzas such as Campo dei Fiore or Piazza Navarro. If your legs are good you can also walk to the Colosseum and the Forum Romanum.
We received great service from the people renting out the apartment. They were just a phone call away, helped us with different information and reservation of transportation to the airport. On top of that they were super fluent in English.
Other pluses:
- there was a good wifi connection
- very nice neighbors
Travel tip: We would NOT recommend buying tickets for the public transportation system since the buses are either full or not very reliable. Instead grab a cab and enjoy a conversation with the driver. Romans are generally very friendly and forthcoming, so just ask for help or directions.
Great experience in Rome! First time I used Wimdu and it worked perfectly. Very friendly and helpful contact, great organization from Emiliano and Maria, the whole appartment absolutely as advertised. Perfect location... 10-15 min. walk either to Termini or Colosseum. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area (Via Merulana).
When arriving in Rome we received a call that our booked and confirmed appartment was not available at the same day because of some issues with the keys...
An alternative for 1 night was offered to us and after a visit and a meeting with Emiliano we decided to stay at this appartment. At the next day we were picked up by car and brought to our originally booked appartment.
After that everything was really nice and the appartment is very clean and comfortable - just as visible at the picturers.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We have stayed for 4 night at this apartment from 10th to 14th July , and I could say many positive things about it, but the most important is that we felt like home, and we have not missed absolutely nothing we could need. The apartment well worth, also for its excellent location, but certainly deserves much more the attention from theis owners. It is important to know that for any problems that may arise you are dealling with serious and formal people who respond adequately.
Of course, it is my apartment on future visitis to the city, which is totally recommend!.
A very lovely and private apartment, in a quiet local area just 10 min walk away from the Vatican. We enjoyed our stay very much and had the plaessure of being welcomed in the most hospital manner. The apartment was very well equipped with everything.( from bathroom supplies to kitchen utensils). just around the corner there are local pizzeria/resrtaurants filled with authenthic food and Roman residents.We will a any time highly recommend others to stay here during their stay in Rome. Allready looking forward to visit again.:-)

"This unprecedented multidisciplinary approach to the examination of the Arab Spring situates itself in digital revolutions and political transformations. I highly recommend it for students, activists, and policy makers seeking to understand how modern communication technologies are driving the Fourth Wave of Democracy in the Arab world."Imad Salamey, Associate Professor of Political Science, Lebanese American University
"This book represents the first serious effort to transcend the polarized debate between cyber-utopians and tech-skeptics regarding digital media's role in the 2011 Arab Uprisings. Carefully argued and documented, it is of landmark importance and should be required reading for all those who seek to understand the interface of technology and political change and the future of democratization."Peter Mandaville, George Mason University, author of Global Political Islam
"Philip N. Howard and Muzammil M. Hussain's study implies that... digital media played a much longer term role in creating favorable conditions for uprisings, helped to publicize key igniting events, and then facilitated those uprisings and their diffusion; but digital media did not do this alone or as suddenly as some observers have claimed... There are a number of other unique contributions, but there is insufficient space to review them all. Overall, I predict that future research will look kindly to the authors' key findings, particularly the book's central claim that digital media were one essential ingredient in larger casual recipes for revolution and democratization."

I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

China: the imminent debt crisis?
The risk of a credit crunch is hanging over China. The pace of the nation's debt increase is extremely high. China's local governments have public debt of $3 trillion. This week one of Chinese trusts has managed to avoid default, presumably, thanks to a bailout. Still, this raises many questions about the nation's financial future. The nation's extraordinary economic growth used to be a wonder and an example for others. However, it seems that this growth is now being built on the growing reliance on debt that will be difficult to repay. The existence of a huge shadow banking sector which, according to some estimates, equals 40% of GDP, makes the problem ever more serious.

I have been getting a lot of emails and comments about my Harry Potter projects, like the Hogwarts Acceptance Letter and the Harry Potter Spell Book. So, I thought I would make a post about the fonts I used and some other fonts that could be used.
Lumos in all caps. The section underneath is using Magik, which I found through Muggle.net which has even more fonts to check out.
Hogwarts Wizard accept for the word under. For that I used Aquiline. Now please note, you are probably making this a personalized letter so the second line should pertain to the person receiving the gift. For my daughters I wrote "The room behind the grey door", using behind as the accented word.
Now for the spell book. This one was fun for me because of my love of fonts. I am seriously all over the map with this one.
Aquiline, but as I was rounding up all my fonts, I found this Aquiline Two, that might work even better.
For the word "Spells" I used Ruritanina, but realistically you could use any font. That was half the fun for me at least. Looking for fonts is like shopping for me.
Okay, so you don't know how to download fonts or even use them, here is some help with how to do that.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2013
About the owner: I purchased Casa de Alta Loma in 2013 as the fulfillment of a life-long dream to live close to a beautiful beach in an environment that soothes the soul. I have lived in and around Santa Cruz for a decade now and finally decided on just the right spot (Live Oaks) and the perfect home (Alta Loma). I use it often and enjoy the environment tremendously. I love to entertain my friends and family from the East Coast at the beach house - they just cannot get over how idyllic life in Santa Cruz can be. For example, the Saturday morning Ukelele and sing-along down on the beach is a unique way to entertain grandchildren as well as adults. We usually get coffee at the Kind Grind (right there on the beach) and just listen. My 4 yr. old niece has played along with the crowd. (Don't expect skilled musicians but do expect friendliness and old time sing-along songs.) I was born and raised outside of Boston, MA and relocated to the West Coast to work in the Software Industry. I hope you come enjoy the house and all it has to offer.
Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz, CA, USA:
The location is ideal. You can hear the ocean, the sea lions, and the gulls but not the young neighboring renters who are right down on the beach. It's a 2 minute walk to the harbor where you will find a favorite restaurant -- Johnny's Harborside. It's a 4 minute walk to the beach which is wide and long. I often run the entire stretch from my beach down to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk all on the sand (at low tide!). It's about 13 minutes walk to the east entrance of the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Driving gets you to a lot of popular destinations: E.g., Shadowbrook restaurant in Capitola is 3 miles away and SF and Big Sur are each about an hour and a half away, in opposite directions.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Casa de Alta Loma is a great place to BBQ and I do often. The deck is pleasant and cool in the summer and a convenient place to dine. The back cottage is fully supplied for two so a couple who wants a little privacy from the crowd have an ideal option. (I have personal friends who fit that bill.) I use the internet too much but it is nice to be able to have access anywhere on the premises. For whale watching or just ocean cruising, the nearby berthed Chardonnay II is a 70 foot luxury sailing yacht offering two hour to all day excursions including champagne brunches and sunset cruises.
