Apart from a literature review, the objective of this study was to explore leadership strategies employed by SMT in managing teamwork, and how it affects the overall school management and performance. The study was conducted in the purposefully sampled six secondary schools wherein 18 SMT members were interviewed and 100 questionnaires distributed to 10 randomly sampled schools from the population of 30 schools. The study adopted the mixed methods research and sought to unpack the leadership strategies SMT members employ to manage teamwork. Empirical findings elicited by this study are that the concept of leadership strategies is a positive development. The participants' perception of leadership strategies is generally favourable and they welcome the development, though many argue that it is essentially nothing new. 2016-05-01T00:00:00Z Ensuring the quality of doctoral student support services in open distance learning http://hdl.handle.net/10500/22138 Ensuring the quality of doctoral student support services in open distance learning Tsige Gebremeskel Aberra This study focuses on student support service quality with particular reference to an Open Distance Learning (ODL) environment. Taking student support services as anchors in mainstreaming ODL, the aims of the study are to develop an instrument that can accurately measure student support service quality in an Ethiopian ODL environment. Simultaneously, it is to investigate an alleged gap between students' expectations and experiences of service quality in the Ethiopia-UNISA context. In doing so, an attempt is made to determine the students' level of satisfaction with the student support services provided. The study relies on quantitative methods and a design-based research strategy, which involves iterative and step-by-step processes of investigation. The theoretical framework employed in this study is Gaps Model by Parasuraman, Ziethaml and Berry (1985). Using an instrument of which the possible level of external and internal validity has been ensured, data are collected and quantitatively analysed using a standard Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The data suggest that there are five dimensions that play a cardinal role in the measurement of student support service quality in an ODL context, namely supervision support, infrastructure, administrative support, academic facilitation and corporate image. In the Ethiopian context, there appears to be a discrepancy between students' expectations and their experiences of the quality of student support services. More than often their expectations exceed their actual experiences of quality service provision. Students' satisfaction levels are negatively affected by the quality of four of the support services provided by UNISA as measured through expectations and experiences. In contrast, the students' responses show that they are highly satisfied with the corporate image UNISA holds both in Ethiopia and internationally. From among the five dimensions, however, corporate image and supervision support stand out to be the most important dimensions in contributing to the students' satisfaction and dissatisfaction, respectively. As a recommendation, this study highlights that these two dimensions must be focal areas by UNISA as more effort must be exerted to build the image of UNISA in Ethiopia and to improve the supervision support provided to students. 2016-11-01T00:00:00Z Developing and sustaining a results-based management model in Zimbabwean schools in Goromonzi District http://hdl.handle.net/10500/22046 Developing and sustaining a results-based management model in Zimbabwean schools in Goromonzi District Pazvakavambwa, Addmore There is limited research on the use of results-based management (RBM) in schools, therefore this study focussed on developing a sustainable and effective RBM model. The objectives of the study were to identify the obstacles encountered in implementing RBM in primary and secondary schools in the Goromonzi District, identify and describe the steps taken in developing and sustaining an effective RBM model, and to develop a sustainable and effective RBM model suitable for both Zimbabwean primary and secondary schools. A qualitative research method was used since the researcher's interest was to gain insight into and understanding of school heads' and teachers' perceptions, concerns and experiences in their real world conditions when implementing RBM. The study covered ten purposely selected schools in the Goromonzi District. Semi-structured individual and focus group interviews were conducted with the school heads and teachers. To enhance the validity of the findings, this study adhered to ethical principles and techniques. The following salient findings that emerged from the study were that the school heads and teachers had a negative perception of IRBM because a top-down approach was used when it was introduced and the system was not customised since it was merely "imported" from a developed country whose context was different from the Zimbabwean socio-political and economic environment. There was also a serious dearth of financial resources to support the system and this affected the quality of RBM training negatively. The lack of funding also led to the non-payment of incentives for the staff with regard to implementing RBM. It was also indicated that the senior Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education officials showed a lack of commitment and support for RBM. To address the implementation challenges it was indicated that resources had to be mobilised to ensure the capacitation of school heads and teachers and also for incentivising them. Incentivising staff is critical for the successful implementation of RBM. It was also noted that there was a need to develop a results culture in schools and train school heads in change management. It was concluded that a home grown RBM model that was context sensitive to the Zimbabwean situation was required. As envisaged, the study resulted in the development of the three phased Zimbabwe results-based management practical model (ZRBMPM). The first phase addresses RBM implementing challenges and the second phase focusses on incentivising staff to promote the effective implementation of results management. The last phase entails the production of the results. 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z Employees perceptions of performance appraisal in public technical vocational and entrepreneurship training institutions in Zambia http://hdl.handle.net/10500/21906 Employees perceptions of performance appraisal in public technical vocational and entrepreneurship training institutions in Zambia Mwale, Daniel Noah The purpose of this study was to explore employee perceptions of performance appraisal in two public Technical Education Vocational Entrepreneurship and Training (TEVET) institutions located in the Southern Province of Zambia. This study followed a quantitative research approach using the census method to obtain data. Seventy-three (73) participants out of a total population of 129 at varying employment levels consented and participated in the study. A 59 item self-administered questionnaire was administered to obtain responses. The main conclusion from this study was that employees held positive attitudes about performance appraisal. The study found that the performance appraisal system was integrated into institutions' culture and that the respondents were satisfied with the performance appraisal process and that 68% of the respondents agreed that the performance system in their institution was fair. However, concerns about the low frequency of appraisal meetings were noted. The frequency of performance evaluation on how well the employees were meeting their targets was mostly once in a year. This called for urgent attention by the management of the institutions to ensure that at least two appraisals were conducted in a year. The study also found evidence of rating standards varying from supervisor to supervisor. The study recommended that supervisor training in rating formed part a continuous process. These findings and the recommendations in this study are expected to be of benefit to the principals and supervisors in the institutions. The findings of the study contributed to the knowledge in the field of education management and leadership by providing empirical evidence about employee's perceptions about performance appraisal in the two public TEVET institutions in Zambia. 2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

It's time to head back to school. You can almost smell it in the air. But one thing is for sure, hitting the books -- whether you're in high school or college -- is a lot more fun with some new fall outfits.
We caught up with Andrew Bevan, Teen Vogue's style features editor, to find out the five hottest looks for the new season. Some have a retro vibe, while others feature new twists on familiar classics. This fall you can plan for plaids, wooly coats, oversized cardigans, fringe, pastels and more.
And don't worry guys, we didn't forget about you.
Bevan thinks guys are really starting to "step up to the plate" with fashion. That's partially thanks to stores such as Zara and H&M expanding their collections for men. "You're able to get more fashion-forward pieces at a cheaper price," said Bevan.
Guys shouldn't be afraid of wearing a blazer with jeans or a leather jacket. "I think we're seeing a little bit of a '60s, Buddy Holly movement with the guys," said Bevan, who added he likes the "rebellious prep" look. "You might be buttoned up a bit, but you're wearing a leather jacket...You might be wearing some Doc Martens."
Not surprisingly, denim is making its way into students' fall closets -- but there are a few twists this year.
We asked Bevan his take on the denim-on-denim look: Is it a do or a don't?
"I think it's a 'do.' I think the main thing you have to look into is it needs to be a very intentional look, and they shouldn't match," said Bevan.
Check out the video above to hear how to rock this year's top back-to-school trends.

Miles was miserably missed by his fans after his much-anticipated Academy Awards appearance in March this year was canceled due to rumored tension between the show's producers and "The Amazing Spider-Man" lead Andrew Garfield.
However, a few days after the controversy erupted and almost everyone started bashing Garfield online, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released an explanation:
"Due to the nature of a live show, hard decisions sometimes must be made that require the Academy to cut segments due to the logistics of production."

Aang landed in the middle of the city by nightfall. To his surprise, there was no one waiting for him. Suddenly, five clone troopers jumped out of hiding and opened fire. Aang defeated them with ease. Aang waited for five minutes, then decided it was time to leave. Aang began to walk in the direction of his house as it started to rain. Lightning crackled through the sky, followed by the sound of thunder.
Aang stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a horrifying noise.
It was the sound of someone breathing.
Aang whipped around to face his foe.
His jaw dropped.
A man wearing black armor stood before Aang. He had a big black cape that was blowing in the wind.
Aang didn't know it, but his opponent was Darth Vader.
"Going somewhere, Avatar?" His dark voice sent a chill down Aang's spine.
"I'm not gonna run away from this." Aang stated boldly. "Now who are you and what do you want?"
The man stayed silent.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Aang yelled.
The man didn't say a word.
This man was trying Aang's patience. Then finally, he spoke.
"I am Darth Vader," the man said.
"You...YOU KILLED EARTH KING KUEI!!!" The Avatar hollered.
"Kuei died because he was not worthy of the throne," Vader said.
"Earth King Kuei was a great leader!" Aang retorted.
"Yet my neck is still attached to my body," Vader said.
Aang lost his temper. He began to shoot fire blasts at Vader, but the Dark Lord blocked them with ease. He held up his hands, and when the fire blasts hit them, they vanished. Aang stopped firing immediately. Both of them stayed silent.
"Your resilience is admirable," Vader said. "But to no avail." Vader pulled out a small cylinder, pressed a button, and suddenly, a glowing blade popped out of the cylinder.
Aang didn't know it, but Vader had just ignited his lightsaber.
Darth Vader leaped in to the air and brought his saber down, but Aang brought up a rock wall. Vader chopped the wall in half, causing sharp pieces from it to fly everywhere. One of them bit into Aang's skin. Vader charged toward Aang, but the Avatar sent a stream of water that froze into an icicle as it approached Vader. Vader turned as it passed by his chest. When Vader turned, Aang swung his glider and created a massive gust of wind that slammed Vader into a building several yards away. As Vader stood there stunned, Aang shot two rock spikes that pierced into Vader's left shoulder and right leg. Aang then used airbending to enhance his speed and charged toward the pinned Dark Lord. Before he collided with the pinned Sith Lord, Aang created an Air Wake at the last minute, which crashed into Vader with great force, crushing the spikes used to pin him. Aang stood panting heavily as Vader pulled himself from out of the rubble. Using both hands, Vader Force pushed Aang as hard as he could. Aang was blasted several feet away from Vader. His body slammed into the ground, but he kept moving. Finally, he stopped. Aang struggled to his feet. Blood was pouring out of his back since his body had been slammed and dragged across the ground. Vader had gotten to his feet and was wielding his lightsaber once again. Suddenly, Darth Vader threw his lightsaber at Aang. Aang created a water shield and blocked the attack. Vader seemed to be getting weaker, but Aang couldn't take any chances. His eyes and tattoos began glowing a bright blue, there was a powerful gust of wind as Aang slowly rose into the air. Entering the Avatar State, Aang glared down at Darth Vader. Aang blasted a large stream of fire at him, but the Dark Lord used the Force and pushed the fire away from him. Aang slammed into the ground creating a massive shock wave that sent Vader flying in the air. Aang launched him down with a water whip. The Dark Lord decided it was time to end this. Using the Force, Darth Vader blasted the Avatar away from him. Aang smashed into a building, but was back on his feet in an instant. Aang shot fire out of his mouth, roaring like a tigerdillo. Vader used the Force and sent Aang's own fire right back at him. Aang flew into the air, far away from Vader, until several yards away, Vader heard a loud crash.
Darth Vader knew then the duel was over.

Turbulent convection in an anelastic rotating sphere : a model for the circulation on the giant planets
Kaspi, Yohai

This thesis studies the dynamics of a rotating compressible gas sphere, driven by internal convection, as a model for the dynamics on the giant planets. We develop a new general circulation model for the Jovian atmosphere, based on the MITgcm dynamical core augmenting the nonhydrostatic model. The grid extends deep into the planet's interior allowing the model to compute the dynamics of a whole sphere of gas rather than a spherical shell (including the strong variations in gravity and the equation of state). Different from most previous 3D convection models, this model is anelastic rather than Boussinesq and thereby incorporates the full density variation of the planet. We show that the density gradients caused by convection drive the system away from an isentropic and therefore barotropic state as previously assumed, leading to significant baroclinic shear. This shear is concentrated mainly in the upper levels and associated with baroclinic compressibility effects. The interior flow organizes in large cyclonically rotating columnar eddies parallel to the rotation axis, which drive upgradient angular momentum eddy fluxes, generating the observed equatorial superrotation. Heat fluxes align with the axis of rotation, contributing to the observed flat meridional emission. We show the transition from weak convection cases with symmetric spiraling columnar modes similar to those found in previous analytic linear theory, to more turbulent cases which exhibit similar, though less regular and solely cyclonic, convection columns which manifest on the surface in the form of waves embedded within the superrotation. We develop a mechanical understanding of this system and scaling laws by studying simpler configurations and the dependence on physical properties such as the rotation period, bottom boundary location and forcing structure. These columnar cyclonic structures propagate eastward, driven by dynamics similar to that of a Rossby wave except that the restoring planetary vorticity gradient is in the opposite direction, due to the spherical geometry in the interior. We further study these interior dynamics using a simplified barotropic annulus model, which shows that the planetary vorticity radial variation causes the eddy angular momentum flux divergence, which drives the superrotating equatorial flow. In addition we study the interaction of the interior dynamics with a stable exterior weather layer, using a quasigeostrophic two layer channel model on a beta plane, where the columnar interior is therefore represented by a negative beta effect. We find that baroclinic instability of even a weak shear can drive strong, stable multiple zonal jets. For this model we find an analytic nonlinear solution, truncated to one growing mode, that exhibits a multiple jet meridional structure, driven by the nonlinear interaction between the eddies. Finally, given the density field from our 3D convection model we derive the high order gravitational spectra of Jupiter, which is a measurable quantity for the upcoming JUNO mission to Jupiter.

Background Hepatitis C is a treatment-resistant disease affecting millions of people worldwide. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome is a single-stranded RNA molecule. After infection of the host cell, viral RNA is translated into a polyprotein that is cleaved by host and viral proteinases into functional, structural and non-structural, viral proteins. Cleavage of the polyprotein involves the viral NS3/4A proteinase, a proven drug target. HCV mutates as it replicates and, as a result, multiple emerging quasispecies become rapidly resistant to anti-virals, including NS3/4A inhibitors. Methodology/Principal Findings To circumvent drug resistance and complement the existing anti-virals, NS3/4A inhibitors, which are additional and distinct from the FDA-approved telaprevir and boceprevir α-ketoamide inhibitors, are required. To test potential new avenues for inhibitor development, we have probed several distinct exosites of NS3/4A which are either outside of or partially overlapping with the active site groove of the proteinase. For this purpose, we employed virtual ligand screening using the 275,000 compound library of the Developmental Therapeutics Program (NCI/NIH) and the X-ray crystal structure of NS3/4A as a ligand source and a target, respectively. As a result, we identified several novel, previously uncharacterized, nanomolar range inhibitory scaffolds, which suppressed of the NS3/4A activity in vitro and replication of a sub-genomic HCV RNA replicon with a luciferase reporter in human hepatocarcinoma cells. The binding sites of these novel inhibitors do not significantly overlap with those of α-ketoamides. As a result, the most common resistant mutations, including V36M, R155K, A156T, D168A and V170A, did not considerably diminish the inhibitory potency of certain novel inhibitor scaffolds we identified. Conclusions/Significance Overall, the further optimization of both the in silico strategy and software platform we developed and lead compounds we identified may lead to advances in novel anti-virals.

Not one for crazy colors? Neutral modern living room decor can be interesting - if created with a layered look. You don't want the room to be boring! With different textures and tones of blacks, grays, tans, and whites you can still create a modern space with depth and style. If you want to add color later, you can pick up a few colorful accessories. Kate Arends of Wit + Delight created the perfect neutral living room, where color could easily be infused with a few accessories if desired. Photo by Melissa Oholendt.
Post update: sorry all, but the decor accessories displayed in this post have sold out and are no longer available. Please browse our current collection of home accessories for all the latest looks.
I love this room—the brass, the sheepskin, the stripes. Comfy and elegant.

It had been 15 years since I was last in Japan and what a difference more than a decade makes. Moments from my visits then were similar to the "Lost in Translation" experience from the Bill Murray film. I stepped out of my hotel to go to the Edelman office and quickly returned upon discovering that there wasn't a single street sign I could read – a true moment of cultural awakening.
Fast forward to today. The now ubiquitous street, metro and store signs in Western characters are just one indication of how Japan wants to do business the world over. The 2014 Edelman Trust Barometer indicated that the world is equally receptive to Japanese business, with 65 percent of the general public and 74 percent of informed publics trusting companies whose headquarters are in Japan. The nature of interest in doing business globally is quite different from the '80s when the booming Japanese economy prompted a desire to own marquee U.S. landmarks such as Rockefeller Center or Pebble Beach golf course. Now it is all about strategy as evidenced with the purchase of Jim Beam by Suntory or the merger of Tokyo Electron with Applied Materials.
Japanese business leadership also is interested in helping lead and foster knowledge of the opportunities presented not just by Japan but by all of Asia. This is strikingly inclusive. Ken Koyanagi, who publishes the new Nikkei Asian Review (an Edelman client), talked about the need for broad English-based business coverage from Mumbai to Sydney.
These factors contribute to a rapidly changing communications environment. Time spent with colleagues taught me about the opportunities we have to stretch beyond traditional media relations counsel – we can, and should, offer advice and execution against a broad range of marketing needs.
However, there are storm clouds on the horizon. Yes, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has created positive momentum and a "reason to believe" in the Japanese economy, but that upbeat message may be short-lived given a variety of factors from societal to economic. Japan is a rapidly aging society with a very low birth rate. This inevitability is already applying pressures that will only get more challenging. And three years out from the earthquake and Fukushima crisis, the cost of energy has soared and made a seriously material impact on the trade deficit.
The genuine concern about the economy and where Japan's mid- to long-term future lies is offset by universal excitement for the 2020 Olympics to be held in Tokyo. Everyone with whom I spoke talked of the Olympics as if they were next month. And truth to tell with a society that is so well organized and maintains a "can do" attitude, I think they could actually pull off the Olympics with one month's notice.
With all the excitement and potential I see here today, I'll make sure it's not another 15 years before I visit again.

Elizabeth Gilbert's short stories roam from Wyoming to New York City, from Minnesota to Texas. With humor and dignity, Gilbert explores the revelations of diverse and memorable characters, each pursuing a singular American pilgrimage. A tough East Coast girl dares a western cowboy to run off into the Rocky Mountains with her. A family of Hungarian-immigrant magicians struggle for redemption in Pittsburgh. A dying old woman contentedly surveys her lifetime of promiscuity. On an impossible and tragic quest for honor, an ignorant laborer runs for president of his mafia-controlled union. Elizabeth Gilbert's writing is classical in narrative and magic in its clean, simple language. She evokes hard lives and hard individuals, always tempering their roughness with sympathy. Her stories are about strong people who demand their epiphanies. Gilbert writes with a fullness that is most evident whenever her characters try to chase down love. They are apt to make bad judgments (a matronly bar owner

Villa Rocca is a vintage gem, right on the shores of Lake Garda. At the foot of the well-known landmark, the Rocca di Manerba. This villa stands in a private residential area, which is quiet and peaceful, yet it is very close to all amenities, restaurants, the village, the port, and even an archaeological museum and the nature reserve park of the Rocca.
The villa was built in the late 1950s, and was fitted out to the highest standards of craftsmanship and design of the time. The quality of its original craftsmanship has stood the test of time, and all original fittings still adorn the villa. Walking in is like stepping back in time -- fascinating and beautiful, but not for those who need a modern space. Hand painted maiolica tiles in the living area, hand crafted wooden cupboards and finishings in all rooms, enamelled metal cabinets in the kitchen, and of course fabulous red formica counter tops with steel edgings. The villa is only about a 20 meters from the beach, and the sound of the waves is a constant background music.
Enter the house through the main door on the side veranda into a large open space lounge and dining area with working fireplace. There is a TV here, with digital cable, SKY satellite channels, and DVD player. The common area is surrounded on two sides with floor to ceiling glass windows and doors looking out onto the lake, just a few meters beyond the house. The doors open onto a covered patio with eating area and bbq, and the garden and patio are furnished with sun loungers.
Beyond the common area, still on the main floor, you will find the vintage style kitchen. Small, but fully equipped with modern appliances (dishwasher, microwave, oven, hob, fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle, nespresso as well as french press coffee maker, all crockery and everything you need for self catering). The kitchen has a door to the outside garden, with the bbq just outside the kitchen door.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, one full bathroom with tub/shower combination (ensuite to the master bedroom) and one small service half-bathroom with toilet, sink and bidet only. The master bedroom has stunning lake views and a small private balcony. Bedroom 2 is a double and bedroom 3 is two singles.
Downstairs from the common area there are another two bedrooms, one double with lake view and glass doors onto its private patio, and the other two singles which can be pushed together for a double if desired. There is another bathroom here with a small shower unit with shower curtain.
Garage and parking place for 2 cars. Mature gardens surround the villa, with various flowering plants and shrubs. Just a few steps down the beach you will find the restaurant Pisenze, with its own dock and access from the lake directly, and absolutely fantastic food. About a km in the other direction, you will find the port of Torchio, with 2 excellent restaurants, as well as motor boat rental facilities. And about 1km up the hill you will find the village of Montinelle, with local shops and services, as well as an excellent gelateria, bars, and restaurants.

We believe that the best holidays should have the independence and freedom of self-catering, together with the luxury care and service of a quality hotel.
Christina Ayer purchased this villa in 1950
We had a family holiday at Villa Rocca in mid August and it was a great place both for children and adults. The location is superb, with direct access to the lake from the garden, and stunning views. The garden is very large and well kept and offers lots of sunbathing opportunities, as well as shady spots. There are plenty of chairs and sun beds. There are two outdoor dining tables, one on the terrace and one above the beach. There is also a large barbecue.
The villa itself is very large and has some beautiful vintage touches, but is not so well maintained. The downstairs bathroom needs to be rennovated. The shower is totally impractical and there is no space for leaving just a toothbrush or even hanging up a towel. The two upstairs bathrooms are better, but are also rather old.
The internet connection is very slow, so I wouldn't recommend it for working.
When we had a problem, the staff were helpful but we had to wait 4 days to get the tv working and the main bathroom light fixed.
The nearby village of Montinelle is pretty and not too touristy. It has a baker's, a grocery shop and a gelateria.
There are also some nice walking opportunities from the beach, including a path up to the Rocca of Manerba.
I would definitely recommend this villa for the position and the outdoor space, but the villa itself could do with some maintenance work.
We are a Family of seven, including two teenagers, and all thoroughly enjoyed staying at Villa Rocca. Spacious lounge, comfortable furniture,ample bedrooms. Large garden leading to the beach. Lots to see and do. Have recommended this villa to friends and family.
We stayed at Villa Rocca in August 2014 with some friends, two families comprising four adults, one nineteen year old girl and three teenage boys.
The first thing to say is that the villa is in the most beautiful location. You step out on to the rear covered terrace and are greeted by amazing views across Lake Garda. A small pebble beach is accessed through a gate at the bottom of the garden and from there you can swim or mess about on the lilos provided. The beach is public however and can get busy and noisy during the day.
The villa had a large lounge/dining area overlooking the lake. There are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom with shower. The second bathroom is really a wet-room with shower. There is also another separate room with a toilet and bidet and an adequately sized, well stocked kitchen.
Christine, the manager could not have been more helpful and there is lots of local information about places to eat, shop and visit.
There are some downsides however. As has been mention in another review, the villa is looking tired in some areas and could now do with some repair/renovation. Some of the electrical sockets are loose in the wall and could be dangerous to young children. We could not stop our bath tap from dripping and the downstairs wet-room is not really up to being used as a second family bathroom - the floor was often wet and slippy due to poor drainage. Finally we booked the wi-fi at a cost of Euro 50 for the week. This is a 3G dongle and the performance was never better than adequate. It needed frequent reboots and often stopped working all together.
So 4 stars out of 5. A great location but the villa could now do with some updating.
We've been taking villa holidays with our children for 20 years and this one wins for location. Having a gate leading from the garden to the beach was fantastic and the lake water was crystal clear and made for great swimming and kayaking.
The villa is great too. Plenty of room inside and out and a wonderful covered veranda facing the lake.
So what stops us giving the villa five stars? Two small things: First, the fittings and fixtures are a little tired (or rustic depending on your viewpoint) - not a problem but just took the edge off things; some of the electrics not taking standard euro plugs was a particular inconvenience - easily fixed if more adaptors were provided. Second, the wifi failed for the last three days; not a problem if you don't depend on it but we needed it for work so had to go up to the village to deal with emails etc.
So would we go back? Definitely.
We have just had an amazing family holiday staying in this villa. We are a family of 8 adults and trying to please all of us was going to be hard! The lake being just through the gate at the bottom of the garden was perfect. The villa is very well maintained and so well equipped I think there was more in the kitchen than we have at home. It was also nice that we didn't have to go out and buy the essentials as is often the case. We will be back.
Villa Rocca is located at the foot of the Rocca di Manerba, a splendid archeological and natural reserve park, with kilometers of hiking trails with extraordinary lookouts and views, as well as a very special ecological and archeaological heritage, all explained in its own little museum.
It is directly on the Pisenze beach in Manerba, thought by many to be the most beautiful beach on lake garda -- clean and clear water, with a sandy bottom just a few meters from the edge of the lake. Looking out onto the isola dei Conigli (a great spot for a picnic), and just around the peninsula from the Port of Torchio, with a couple of excellent restaurants, as well as motorboat rental services.
The village of Montinelle di Manerba is just a km up the hill, with all the local services you need, from bars and gelateria to restaurants, and small local shops.
Special interest holidays:
We can organise cookery courses in the villa, as well as mosaic artistry classes that we bring to you at the property. Nature hikes and wine/oil tasting tours can be organised, as well as special meals can be catered on site to give you a great introduction to our local cooking traditions.
We also offer a delightful welcome basket to all guests, including local wine, food, and home-made local jams.
The villa is provided with a wifi-connected tablet with links to local maps showing you everything in relation to the villa, as well an incredible amount of local information for restaurants, shopping, activities, concerts, museums, theme parks and sites of interest.
Extra services include:
Catered meals in the villa
baby sitting and children's entertainment
internet and wifi
airport transfers
beauty, relaxation and spa treatments
Driver and 'Go-fer' service
Villa stocking/grocery shopping service
The villa is directly on the beach which is about 20 ft away. The sound of the waves is a constant companion, and there is always a breeze from the lake.
Località "campanelle" lies in a unique position, in a small bay, on a part of land that juts out into the lake, so the water is constantly renewed by currents, and the beach and the immediate coast remain protected from the wind. So it is both clean, as well as protected. The water is shallow for a few metres out, with a sandy bed after 2-3m

Further Details:
The villa is about 100m down the beach from the Rocca di Manerba. At its foot you will find a wonderful restaurant, la Pisenze, as well as a steep trekking track that leads up the Rocca.
For an easier trek, you can follow the road and then take the nature paths up to the top of the Rocca, an archaeological and nature preserve where there are the last known examples of some very special orchids once thought extinct. There is an archaeological museum in the park which also has a bar selling food and drinks, and there are hiking trails through the park.
The water bridge to the Isola dei Conigli, another park and wonderful natural preserve, is only a short walk from the villa. At low tide, a land bridge forms between the mainland and the island, and at high tide you need to wade in the water up to about knee level. The Isola dei Conigli is a favourite haunt for locals and is wonderful for picnics!
The location of the villa is in an historical residential district, free of all the condominium buildings built in the recent years. All the surrounding villas have their own private gardens, buffering each property from the next. It is really private, quiet and peaceful, and the beach is pristine and not crowded. This section of lake is in a tiny cove and remains slightly sheltered, but the water is influenced by currents and is always moving. This is why its crystal clear and clean, and many consider this spot to be the finest place of the lake on lower Lake Garda.

I attended the day ward on Jan 24 for a procedure on my ear and face. From my arrival to the time I left I was treated with kindness and respect. All the staff I came into contact with were professional, but also friendly and helpful. I have been impressed with the treatment I have received from when I first attended in early Jan through to the short time I had to wait until my operation. Thank you

Aubergines, also known as eggplants, are naturally low in calories: 100g provides about 15calories. They are low in fat, rich in fibre and a fine source of B-group vitamins needed to absorb nutrients like carbohydrates, protein and fat.
The glossy purple skin of the aubergine is particularly rich in a phytonutrient called nasunin. Nasunin is a powerful antioxidant that acts as a scavenger for harmful free radicals mopping them up and neutralising them before they damage cell membranes.
Some recipes call for salting the aubergine before cooking it to get rid of any bitter juices.
This step isn't really necessary since many modern varieties of aubergines have been bred to remove their bitterness.
The flesh of aubergines acts like a sponge, so it soaks up lots of oil if you're pan frying them. If you want to fry slices of aubergines, but don't want them too oily, par boil them for a few of minutes to reduce their absorbency, then pat dry with a kitchen towel before frying.
Creamy aubergine soup
This comforting fix for cold, rainy days is a great way to get your daily veggie quota.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
450g aubergines, peeled, chopped

Nokia 808 PureView Hands-on Review
0. phoneArena posted on 27 Feb 2012, 04:42
Alright, so here it is, probably the last (or one of the very last) Symbian smartphones ever – the Nokia 808 PureView. And boy is this an epic way for Symbian to exit the industry!
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

as opposed to fantasy???? what....?
113. Mekobag (Posts: 26; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
That is so true, my friend... The only brilliant feature the 808 has is the camera. Period.
4. moneyrockers (Posts: 4; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
I want to have this SmartesT PhonE. Running on Belle is great, I hope Carla and Donna update is possible. Nokia RoCkZZZZZZ........
5. miksu (Posts: 2; Member since: 26 Jan 2012)
Yes, true about that processing power. But also, symbian doesnt need as much power, its more efficient
6. Giggity (Posts: 147; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
I thought Nokia is done with Symbian already, why churn out another handset with it?
46. bintheham (Posts: 13; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
I'm sure there was a contractual obligation to release it, just like the one and only Meego phone. Windows Phone is the future of Nokia, this phone will be forgotten by the few that will even hear about it.
58. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
i believe this will not be forgotten... its revolutionary for a camera phone... this phone is epic... it wouldnt be that easy to forgot...
7. ScottSchneider (Posts: 336; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
I don't need a smart phone with this high camera resolution., Probably no one would either... What is more important is the sensor size for really good pics... A Photo taken with this piece of hardware, I would see it in the phone itself or in my PC. I aint gonna print a hoarding with a 500 feet size... this is utter crappyness...
9. sadaivadai (Posts: 156; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
You need to learn more about camera . And how high camera sensors can be useful at least for some people . May be this is not the mobile for you :)

dude i am a freerunner and for pictures and video this will beat the crap out of normal everyday 24Mpx or higher cameras
41. chapizzo (Posts: 116; Member since: 13 Sep 2011)
Dude, the large megapixel isn't there so you can print 500 ft pics of yourself (that comes as an added advantage of the "over the top" megapixels), it primary purpose is to allow zooming in without losing the quality of the shot.
114. Mekobag (Posts: 26; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
Finally! Someone who understood what the Megapixel count is for the 808. I just hope that zooming in and out is fast and seamless for this phone. Otherwise you'd lose precious moments.
13. ryq24 (Posts: 772; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
this phone will send shrivers to camera maker not to samsung or apple but it still is a good looking phone.
14. DIYguy (Posts: 190; Member since: 27 Feb 2011)
Is there a physical camera button with focus??
23. bbblader (Posts: 590; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
yes there is

Take noiseless 5MP to 9MP stills that rival some DSLR's. Take 4x zooms of 1080p video at 30fps, retaining full 1080p resolution in the process (lossless zoom). Take low light action shots with a massive Xenon flash, take nighttime video with a hi intesity LED/Torch. Take massive 38MP raw images and later crop HD photos in various areas of the image at a later date. That's what I will do.

21. flopjoke (Posts: 42; Member since: 05 Jan 2012)
Jizz in my pants. This phone is the perfect way for Nokia to be the KING in camera phones all over again. Perfect way for Symbian to bid farewell.

love u Nokia.. symbian is the only OS which can handle such camera sensors.. none others can.. not just 10,12,14 its 41MP man.. think of it and the name defines it.. PUREVIEW.

That's right people, despite what others write about Symbian; it is the only mobile OS capable of processing and working with this beast of a camera module! I will remind you all, that it was Nokia who got us the first Smartphone camera and their camera technology legacy can be traced through the N70, N95, N82, N86 and most recently the N8 before the 808!

I want to buy several 802.11 handheld devices so that my tech's can have access to Spiceworks when they're walking the floor. (2.2 million sqft) Anyone have any suggestions on makes/models that you may be using now? Want to keep the cost low and give them the ability to check tickets, update, and close without going back to their respective work areas.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Obviously not using now and no Apple fan myself but this sounds, possibly, like an actual application for the iPad!

Hey - we might have to buy an iPad to check out this idea? Don't tell Chief Spice.
Actually, any mobile device with email and the use of the tickets anywhere commands might be pretty close to what you want:
I've also used my iPhone Safari browser to connect to Spiceworks, but this can require a lot of panning and resizing to get to what you want.

I'll admit that I'm a bit of an OS junky so I've got a Macbook Pro running OSX, Fedora, and Windows 7 on bootcamp. Because I'm not a zealot either way, the idea of a iPad crossed my mind, but it's way more money than I'm looking to spend. ( I was hoping in the $200 range, since all I really need is a browser)
The problem that I have on the e-mail side is that my company uses Lotus Notes and the administration of that service is out of headquarters. Because I don't have any ties to that group all I've been able to do e-mail wise is send out through an SMTP relay server. Getting mail back in I think may be problematic.
The scrolling thing would be an issue on any handheld I guess. Has there been any push for a mobile version of the admin console? I could see that being a big help for lots of people that have multiple sites and those of us that have huge spaces.

Never mind, the iPad, like the iPhone and iTouch, is Flashless so it won't do everything in SpiceWorks.
Feb 2, 2010 at 3:43 UTC
Something like the Archos 5 might be worthwhile to look at, depending on how big you need that screen. 4.8", 800x480 resolution, and runs Android.
May 2, 2010 at 5:14 UTC
I don't really care about the Flash - at least I haven't encountered a place where it is a problem (yet).
The main problem is that there are no scroll bars. This makes it very hard to navigate around, especially the inventory, which is what I need. We also run another web app that has multi-part panes with individual scroll bars (on a regular screen) that doesn't scroll properly. For us, this is a major block to implementing anything on them at present.
Other than this, they are quite helpful. They do take a little getting used to as far as the interface is concerned - I keep reaching for the mouse!! The light weight makes it easy to carry around and use. The on-screen keyboard is big enough to use for those of us with fat fingers - the iPhone and Blackberry keyboards just don't fit my fingers easily.

Often the financial state of a single mother is not good but sometimes there is assistance that they may not be aware of. Some financial aid for single moms can come in various forms and is sometimes limited to only single mothers and so they do not have to compete with two parent families in order to qualify for the assistance. Obviously most single mothers are extremely busy but if they can find time to spend a few minutes on the internet, they will see that there plenty of opportunities to get assistance if they need it. Although some single mothers may be embarrassed to ask for assistance, some of this aid is specifically for single mothers and so only single mothers will be applying, so they might as well as well.
Sometimes the financial problems are due to the mother not having a very well paying due to their qualifications but there are grants available to assist them in furthering their education so that they can find a better paying job. There are loans that can be applied for if needed and some of these loans are not too restrictive so loans for houses, autos or education can be found as well as personal or business loans. Housing is often a problem for many people but single, others can apply to certain programs that can help them. Some of this assistance is in the form of affordable or low income housing, emergency housing or perhaps rental assistance, any of which may help a single mother better handle their current situation. Other programs may give assistance or provide day care for children which means, the single mother can have time to work in order to make ends meet more easily.
The life of a single mother is never usually easy and no one would suggest that it is even with assistance but, every bit of assistance that can be found may help the children in some small way and that, at the end of the day, is what is really important to any mother.
When looking on the internet for assistance there are several areas where you can look at, the government level, at the local level and at privately sponsored foundations. Regardless of which of these you look under, they will usually be divided into areas or locations and so you look for the ones which are applicable to where you live. If any programs or grants do not specifically say that they are single mothers, you can still look to see if single mothers are disqualified from applying as often they will not be. Obviously though, even if not disqualified from applying, there may be stiff competition and so where possible look for assistance for grants and loans that are specifically designed for single mothers as those you know you qualify for. Although you may think that the competition would be strong for this assistance, often due to people not knowing about them, it is not as strong as you may have thought.

The reason I put 18+ is because I'm talking about women who are already working. So, when is the right time to ask you out and talk with you? All I ever hear on here, and other forums, is that men always try to ask you out at the wrong times. When you're working, when you're just having a "Me" day, when you're out with your friends. So when are we supposed to ask you out? Or is it I'm just ugly and these are the excuses you give to a guy when you don't want to go out with him?
Ok girls, WHEN is it the right time to ask you out?(18+)?
What Girls Said 1
Ask her out by text or over fb, and she'll reply when she's ready. Problem solved.00|00|0
Tried that and I get my answer by her ignoring me. It's getting me depressed.
What Guys Said 1
Do it at anytime. Who gives a fuck? Lol
A really good time is when she's dressed like she just rolled out of bed with no make-up on. It just makes the whole thing easier lol l00|00|0

I am using Avalon for my Bucharest Romania, to Budapest Hungary. There were several reasons, one because the length of the cruise and land was a little shorter than AMA's. My husband couldn't get as much time off. Then I also got what I felt was a good discount of $1000 off, plus another $500 off from a special Facebook offer that Avalon had. On top of that I got another 5% for being a past guest.
I feel AMA and Avalon are very similar in food, entertainment, shore excursions, and their amenities of free flowing wine at dinner, 24-hour teas and cappuccinos, and complimentary internet.
As Alexandra pointed out there can be differences of your experience within the same cruise line depending which ship you pick. I went on the new Uniworld River Antoinette last December and absolutely loved the upscale decor, the new amenities of an indoor pool spa, small movie theatre, and self-laundry. However; the older Uniworld River Princess was not as impressive to me. The newer ships with Avalon like the Luminary and Panarama, also have newer features and amenities. Most of the newer river ships of Uniworld, AMA, Avalon, and Viking, are boasting the ceiling to floor windows, actual balconies with sitting area instead of just French balcony, and added features of pools, whirlpools, Al Fresca dining.
River Cruising has been exploding and the cruise lines are adding new features and amenities just as the ocean cruises have done over the years.
Personally, for me I pick the itinerary and date first, and price. If it happens to be on a newer ship with more amenities, than that's great. But if it happens to be on an older ship thats ok too.

Your probably better off just praying !
If your struggling thru life with neck or back pain don't waste your time here @ The Dr.Giesler rotating door every 2 minutes office,not even close to the previous visits at any other doctors. I have to many issues to trust a few simple clinical hand tests. I have 3 bulging discs in my neck. 3 in my back with nerve damage all reported in a MRI. Dr.Giesler acted like I sprained my wrist or something ? Just Shocked...

Dr. Giesler has the disease I often associate with successful doctors who have been in practice a long time: he talks aAT you instead of tTO you. His well rehearsed spiel was clinical, detached, and delivered in a manner that suggested he has seen this so many times that I was just a drop in the bucket. Also, it is a big turnoff for me to hear front office staff gossiping, discussing patients, and displaying unprofessional attitude.

Dr. Giesler Is A Waste Of Time and $$$!
I went to Dr. Giesler for neck pain due to a car wreck because he was recommended by two doctors and a friend. He takes an ***X-Ray*** of my neck and with my complete history of previous surgery, dozens of hours of PT for years, many neck injections, numerous pain management doctors, pain meds, he tells me there is nothing he can do except recommend more physical therapy. His bed-side manners are horrible and he acts like he's so bored with his job. I knew when he left the room to get my X-Rays that he was one of those surgeons who only look for the big cases which will bring him the most money. You cannot tell much about a person's neck problems from just an X-Ray!! Any real doctor, especially a surgeon, would order at least an MRI before making a diagnosis or recommendation!! I told 3 of the doctors I see for other health problems what Giesler did and said and every one of those doctors said in disbelief, "No MRI?" DO NOT got to this doctor! I feel lucky that he never touched my neck!

not impressed - very uninterested
Started off with shoulder pain and one of the associates at this practice recommended PT. Did PT for 2 weeks and suddenly started to have horrible neck pain. Did MRI and Was then referred to Dr. gielser. He was completely uninterested and spent about 1 minute assessing my neck. He said that neck flare ups happen and usually resolve themselves with a few weeks. He said my MRI showed usual wear and tear. It has been a year and half with constant neck pain since that appt. Went to see another Orthopedic surgeon and was told I needed surgery for bulging disc. Got a second opinion as well and he also thinks I need surgery due to pressure on my spinal cord. How did Dr. Giesler miss this? He honestly made me feel so silly for showing up and his bedside manner is just horrible. Completely bored with his profession or something.

He performed back surgery on me when I was in more severe pain than ever in my life. My pain is now gone and I am slowly regaining my strength. I am thankful I was referred to him.

Save yourself the time and money...
I saw this doctor when I reached a point where I couldn't handle the pain of a 10-year old back problem. I have seen another spinal orthopedic surgeon (whom I can no longer see due to insurance changes) and have been diagnosed with several back problems. Not only were my concerns ignored, but he did not even mention these diagnoses until I asked about them at the end of the appointment, at which time he simply dismissed them and told me I just need to exercise. I am one who loves exercise and did so regularly until my pain got too bad. This doctor rushed my appointment and left me with no relief or hope that I could ever have relief. I'm appalled that a man like this is allowed to call himself a doctor. I have seen other doctors in his practice for other problems, and I would highly recommend them, but I would warn anyone against trusting their precious health in this man's careless hands.

I have seen Dr. Geisler on two occasions for two bulging discs in my lower back. The first office visit, he seemed nice and referred me to physical therapy for month and wanted me to follow up after my PT. I finished my PT and made a follow up appointment. When he came in the room for my follow up appt. he asked what I was there for! I told him he asked me to follow up following my PT. He said that was unusual for him to do a follow up appt. I informed him I was still having pain. He did a very quick uninterested exam and ordered X-Rays and an MRI. He came back in briefly and told me the X-ray was normal and referred me to a Pain Mgmt. doctor. I have not to this day received any feedback from the MRI he took. I will not return to this practice and will not refer anyone to this practice if he is involved. I have seen other doctors in this practice with my children and was impressed with them.

Great experience
Dr. Giesler is very conservative when it comes to surgery, he wants me to be active and always seeks non-agressive treatments. He is caring and has very friendly staff.

The campaign proposal and results...
The start of the campaign was set with direct mail. DDB Stockholm has researched and sent the most popular bloggers, Berlin-Lovers and travel-journalist. They have sent them a mail containing a letter, legal name-change form and an envelope. It all came down to the idea of changing your name to Klaus-Heidi in order to win the prize of yearlong rent free apartment in central Berlin, bicycle and free food vouchers for the Kaiser food chain.
The campaign was only available in Sweden, since Lufthansa saw an opportunity to stand out in the competitive market there and generate some sales, while engaging people and personalizing their experience with the airline.
As a result, 42 Swedes applied and successfully changed their name to Klaus-Heidi! The winner was only one, of course, but all the Klaus-Heidi's were not left empty-handed. The 41 remaining participants received a VIP Lufthansa Silver card worth 60 000 miles of flights, which to be fair, is a generous reward on its own.
The mayor of Berlin gave the reward to Klaus-Heidi Andersson, the winner. The mayor himself is named Klaus, which is claimed to be coincidence.

Am i crazy if im willing to give up everything to this girl i meet onlinegame/wow. we knew each other for 4 years but under that 4 years she had boyfriend but that didn't stop me liking her. This past month they recently broke up so atm im pushing my luck taking advantage with it. But recently she change pretty much. she even pull this joke that she have new boyfriend/her work boss and she knew my feeling about her all 3-4 yrs. there is a big dis stand between me and her she live on Greece and i in Sweden. yesterday i even ask her if want 2 be my girlfriend and she give me 50/50 answer yes but no. this cming Friday will be everything she ask for time make her decision if she want me on her life or not. even if she say no im still flying to Greece just to see this wonderful girl that im welling to give up everything. August the 1st is doomday for me feel like it.

Yes you're crazy. Never give up everything for a person. They'll all die in the day. And for the online one? Seriously bro. I'm so sorry.10|10|0
should i just give up with out fighting and let her go? This is biggest & hardest thing 2 do brain vs heart. I am a watermelon hard out side water inside.
- Show AllShow Less
You shouldn't fly to Greece, sorry. You should be staying where you are and start dating people living near you. duhhh. And the fact she pulls joke about having a new boyfriend already said that she is not interested, and flying to see her will make it even worse -- making you look like a total total creeper. She even doesn't consider you for a rebound relationship. I'm so sorry to say that. And 3-4 years is too long to wait, what a waste of time. I know how you feel. I've been in your shoes too, but let it go because it doesn't meant to be. Think with your brain not you heart. I know it's hard, but that's why you're given a brain -- to think. Bottom line, I'm sorry but I really think you should let her go without fighting, because you will only waste your time, and she doesn't even bother consider your effort or money (airplane ticket!). I'm so sorry but I suggest moving on. Good luck I hope for the best.
Opinion Owner you might be right. BUT Its really hard to accept it with out fighting for it. i rather break legs instead of feeling this way. if u know what i mean.

Extend DVI-D video and stereo audio up to 1.5 kilometers over a single strand of single-mode or 500 meters over multimode fiber.
This economical extender kit enables you to transmit DVI and stereo audio signals longer distances over a single optical fiber strand-without compromising the quality of the original video or audio signal.
Delivering Full HD video resolution to a screen up to 1.5 kilometers (0.9 mi.) away, the Mini Extender Kit for DVI-D and Stereo Audio over Fiber is ideal for transmitting DVI-D video and CD-quality audio to remote digital signage.
It also supports 24-bit true color depth, which makes it great for sharing video in healthcare, education, multimedia production, or process engineering applications.
What's more, because it uses optical media for extension, the signal is immune to interference from nearby machinery or equipment and is highly secure.
For optimum display communications, the extender reads EDID data from your latest, custom-resolution screens. Just plug it into the display and program it.
Plus, the extender units are super-compact. The receiver can be hidden quite easily behind a screen, and the transmitter can be installed in-line at a player or other source device.
Need to reach more than one distant screen? Add a 4- or 8-port splitter, or a 2-port daisychainable version, which enables you to not only extend to this kit's receiver but also output signals via fiber to a second splitter for additional screen connectivity.This product works with:8-Port Optical Splitter for AVX-DVI-FO-MINI Extender Kit (AVX-DVI-FO-SP8)4-Port Optical Splitter for AVX-DVI-FO-MINI Extender Kit (AVX-DVI-FO-SP4)2-Port Daisychainable Optical Splitter for AVX-DVI-FO-MINI Extender Kit (AVX-DVI-FO-SPCS)USB Power Cable for AVX-DVI-FO-MINI Extender Kit (AVX-DVI-FO-USBPS)Spare Power Supply for AVX-DVI-FO-MINI Extender Kit (AVX-DVI-FO-PS)Single-Mode, 9-Micron Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, LC-LC (EFN310-LCLC)10-Gigabit Multimode, 50-Micron Fiber Optic Cable, Zipcord, LC-LC (EFNT010-LCLC)
