De eerste verdieping bestaat uit een slaapkamer met een kingsize bed, een eigen badkamer en een balkon ook Dubbele slaapkamer en suite met balkon. Beide slaapkamers hebben een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht op de bergen, de zee en het eiland Zakynthos. Alle slaapkamers hebben grote inbouwkasten. Begane grond heeft 1 slaapkamer met twee eenpersoonsbedden, die direct op het zwembad en het terras geopend. grenzend aan groot bad en douche. Open woonkamer, eetkamer en keuken. Salon en eetkamer beide komen uit op het zwembad en terras. Buiten terras is aangelegd met aantrekkelijke Albanese steen, die alle gebieden rond de villa inclusief rit naar parkeerplaats en pergola te dekken. Zwembad heeft ligbedden, parasols, tafels en stoelen voor 6.
This villa lives up to all expectations. Although everything is of hi spec it has a homely feel. Inside is filled with choice pieces of furniture and décor and I for one loved the small touches like decent pillows to sleep on and the best towels ever experienced in a rental property. All bedrooms and downstairs living space open out on to the great pool, fantastic views, and gardens filled with colour and lemon trees.
We found the location perfect, 20mins from the airport, easy drive to a choice of many beaches, and main roads to explore the rest of the island.
We are a family of four, kids aged 11 and 7 and spent our day, picking out a beach or activity ( cave exploring, speedboat trips), then heading back to the villa around 3/4pm to make use of the pool, play cards in the BBQ area and sample the Greek wine before going out to dinner. Tavern's on the doorstep, a short walk away or short drive or taxi away.
I never write reviews but credit where credit is due, both to the villa and the stunning island........ We may be back to explore those bits we didn't quite get time to see.
The Harries Family
We holiday abroad several times a year but rarely return to the same villa as they never seem to be quote as nice as the pictures show but Villa Lemonia is the firm exception.
This is our third visit in four years and in 2013 we gave the villa an excellent review as it was everything that we hoped for and having fallen in love with the beautiful island of Kefalonia we returned the following year and tried to book last year too but someone got there first but we did manage to get in early for 2016 and have enjoyed another wonderful holiday on Kefalonia staying in Villa Lemonia as usual.
Our first thoughts back in 2013 was how well the villa had been designed, decorated and furnished and it seemed just perfect but rather than resting on their laurels Stephanie and Gary have been making continual improvements and this year they have thrown out their wonderful masony bbq for one that is even grander and have built a rather attractive and very useful covered area in the garden for those times when you want a rest from the heat of the sun.
Stephanie and Gary always try to go the extra mile to make their visitors holiday as enjoyable as possible and not for them the well worn and stained bath towels on offer elsewhere but high quality luxurious towels are the order of the day.
To answer the guideline questions asked on the "tips for writing reviews" The description was accurate and if anything it underplayed the quality of the fixtures and fittings on offer. The villa was scrupulously clean and well maintained and if anything were to go wrong (it hasn't with us in six weeks) the owners are fairly close at hand.
Finally I would recommend Villa Lemonia to my friends and relatives without hesitation which is something that I have never said before about any of the many villas that we stayed in around Europe.
My daughter found Villa Lemonia after looking at lots of properties in Kefalonia & we're so glad she did. A truly gorgeous villa completed to a very high spec that really did have the wow factor. Gary & Stephanie were a lovely couple who kept everything in pristine condition. It was hard to drag ourselves away from the pool but we did manage to. The taverna across the road served good food & had a little supermarket for handy essentials & there's a very good restaurant within walking distance ( a torch is handy in places!) A car is recommended but as we were a party of 6 adults we used taxis to get about which werent too expensive with sharing the costs. We would definitely return here & part of me was reluctant to write about villa Lemonia as I didnt want too many people finding out about this little gem!
Another amazing holiday in Villa Lemonia. The weather was lovely, sunny and breezy which made the temperature just right. The Villa as usual was of a very high standard. We came in September this year to see what we thought of a different season but have decided for us May and June are the best as the flowers are all out which makes the island look stunning and the weather is still perfect.
the perfect place for chilling and a great base for getting out and about if you have hired a car or bike this villa is maintained to a very high standard by the owners gary and stephanie who are on hand to help if you need any and are friendly and helpful the villa is very clean and spacious with all the mod cons including wifi beautiful views and excellent pool and barbeque areas would definately recommend villa lemonia
We have just returned, family of four with two boys aged 10 and 9, reluctantly, from our two weeks in Villa Lemonia, our first holiday to Kefalonia. Having holidayed the three previous years in another Greek Island, we weren't sure it could be improved upon but we have definitely fallen in love with this jewel of the Ionian islands.
Villa Lemonia is spotlessly clean, spacious, and has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The pool is a great size, and we particularly liked the space around the pool area for playing bat and ball and other games. The views over the sea particularly from the master bedroom balcony are fabulous to wake up to. Decent sun loungers and umbrellas, and the bbq area is also nice and shaded. We wished we had used this more.
Stephanie and Gary were welcoming and helpful, answering all my many questions and recommending some delightfully sticky looking naughty drinks to take home. :-). Always up for that challenge!
The tavern across the road, whilst not the most authentic of greek restaurants is extremely handy if you just don't want to a) cook, or b) drive anywhere and we ate there in the evenings several times. The shop next to it is even more convenient, and we could get basic supplies there daily, such as water, icecreams, and can highly recommend the local dry white wine, very drinkable and 3 euros!
Karavados was a good base to explore the lower half of the island, highly recommend the coastal drive to Skala, and Kaminia beach, our favourite. Also Melissani Lake, Drogarati caves, and Agia Effimia. We visited Myrthos beach which whilst stunning to look at was no good for swimming, on the day we went there anyway, and Sami was a beautiful seaside harbour - not sure I know what all the fuss about Antisamos beach is though, pebbly and very small/thin.....we also went into Argostoli several times for the shopping, and ate twice at a harbour side restaurant, do NOT recommend these although it is worth going to the harbour before midday to see the giant turtles.
Overall, a fantastic holiday, the Villa is perfect, Stephanie and Gary were friendly and helpful, and we absolutely recommend Villa Lemonia and Kefalonia. We will be back.
Karavados dorp ligt op slechts 15 minuten rijden van de luchthaven Kefalonia en op 20 minuten van de kosmopolitische hoofdstad Argostoli, waarin tal van restaurants en winkels met een levendige centrale plein en een lokale sfeer 's nachts .Fresh vis, vlees, groenten en fruit is te vinden in de markten gelegen aan het water, hier kunt u ook aan boord van veerboten naar lokale bestemmingen. Villa Lemonia is gelegen binnen een paar minuten lopen naar de lokale mini-markt, waar u de meeste van uw vakantie eisen kunt kopen. bijvoorbeeld dagelijks vers brood, scharreleieren, neem dan proberen hun lokale wijn!

RxAdherence 2013 is the singular educational event focusing specifically on patient adherence and compliance prompting pharmaceutical packaging. This annual conference, a respected industry event for nearly two decades, is co-sponsored by HCPC Med Ad News, PharmaLive, Pharmalot, and Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging News.
Continental Breakfast
Opening Remarks
Opening Keynote presentation -
Efforts to Advance Medication Adherence, Savings and Outcomes In a Deficit Reduction Environment
Joel White, Health Coverage Executive Director, Council for Affordable Healthcare
The lame duck session of the 112th Congress sets the stage for a year of hard bargaining on measures to trim a projected $10 trillion in budget deficits over the next decade alone. This intense focus on fiscal retrenchment will ignite legislative interest in a new round of health reforms in 2013 because health programs account for three-quarters of non-interest spending growth in the Congressional Budget Office's 10-year budget baseline. Put simply, reducing the deficit means lowering rising health costs. Poor medication adherence, or non-adherence, affects patient health by reducing the ability to effectively manage and control chronic diseases. Patients with adherence issues are more likely to experience preventable disease progression, increased hospitalizations, doctor and emergency room visits and other problems arising from poor health. This can significantly increase costs.
As a result of Congress and the Administration's efforts to lower health spending, there may be opportunities to advance medication adherence in Medicare, Medicaid and in private markets. Mr. White will explore current and planned efforts to advance medication adherence policy as Congress considers the next round of deficit reduction measures.
9:20 - 10:10
Estimated Annual Pharmaceutical Revenue Loss Due to Medication Non-Adherence
Thomas Forissier, Principal, Capgemini Consulting's Life Sciences Sector and co- lead of the Life Sciences Customer Experience Practice, Capgemini Consulting & Katrina Firlik, MD. Chief Medical Officer, HealthPrize Technologies
Medication non-adherence is one of the most serious problems in healthcare, posing a heavy financial impact on all constituencies. On the cost side, the New England Healthcare Institute estimated that medication non-adherence is responsible for $290 billion in "otherwise avoidable medical spending" in the US alone each year. On the pharmaceutical revenue side, however, the impact of medication non- adherence had yet to be accurately quantified. The market assumption relied upon to date, and quoted extensively, has been $30 billion globally, which we felt was a gross underestimate. This presentation will cover the most accurate estimate of pharmaceutical revenue loss due to medication non-adherence and how increasing adherence rates by only 10 percentage points would translate into a $41 billion pharmaceutical revenue opportunity in the US ($124 billion globally), accompanied by improved health outcomes and decreased healthcare spending.
10:10 - 11:00
Improving Medication Adherence and Reducing Readmissions
Thomas E. Hubbard
Vice President for Policy Research, NEHI
High hospital readmissions rates are seen as a key contributor to rising health care costs. New government payment reforms are tackling the problem by penalizing hospitals for such readmissions, and innovative providers are responding with better planning and follow-up care after a patient is discharged. Medication management by health care teams is at the heart of this effort. This presentation will review these models of discharge planning and follow-up care that not only reduce readmissions but highlight the valuable role of medication management in improving patient outcomes and the need for improved medication adherence throughout the health care system.
11:00 - 11:20
Networking, Exhibits & Refreshment Break

Ray Bullman, Executive Vice President
National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE)
Representatives from over two dozen diverse organizations have come together to provide input into the development of a comprehensive, collaborative, multi-stakeholder Adherence Action Agenda (The A3 project), addressing four key focus areas: 1) Chronic Conditions and Co-Morbidities; 2) Critical Macro Factors; 3) Patient-related Factors, and 4) Healthcare Professional Factors. This session will provide an update on the formulation of the strategic project framework, implementation schedule, identification of lead monitoring organizations and next steps.

Real-world impact of reminder packaging on antihypertensive treatment adherence and persistence
Michael Eaddy, PharmD, PhD, Vice President, Xcenda and Justin Schroeder, Senior Director, Marketing & Development Services, AndersonBrecon
Patient medication adherence poses significant concerns to health care professionals, particularly for those patients who have a chronic disease that requires long term, consistent medication, like hypertension. The use of unit dose calendarized formats in one tool in addressing the underlying causes of poor adherence. In this presentation, Michael Eaddy and Justin Anderson will present the findings of the recently published Xcenda study conducted to highlight successful patient adherence improvements using the Novartis Pharmaceuticals' DiovanHCT® antihypertensive therapy in a 30 day reminder package distributed by a major retail pharmacy.
2:25 - 3:05
Improving Patient Adherence in Clinical Trials
Kathy Zonca, Patient Adherence Consultant, C3i, Inc.
Patient adherence has been described as the "other" drug problem in routine clinical practice. But is it an issue in clinical trials where one expects the patients to be more highly motivated to adhere? In this session, we will explore reasons that adherence might be lower than desired in trials and how non-adherence can impact clinical research results. We will also look at other closely related areas of concern that can impact the integrity of trial data. Finally, we will offer some suggestions for ways to improve patient adherence in the clinical trial setting.
3:05 - 3:25
Networking, Exhibits & Refreshment Break
3:25 - 4:05
Delivering Breakthrough Medicine with Device Innovation

Nick Fairley, the Detroit Lions defensive lineman who has had two recent run-ins with the law, apologized for his actions on his Facebook page on Friday.
"I want to personally apologize to my fans, teammates and the Detroit Lions organization for bringing this unwanted attention to our team," Fairley said on Facebook. "I recognize my actions were inexcusable and I personally need to uphold the expected standard of behavior of a professional athlete. I do not take for granted this opportunity and feel blessed every day to play in the NFL."
The former Auburn star was arrested almost two weeks ago in Mobile County, Ala., for alleged reckless driving, no proof of insurance and possessing an open container after reportedly being clocked at 100 mph.
One month earlier, he was arrested in Mobile, Ala., for marijuana possession.
Fairly was the 13th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Lions. He had 15 tackles and one sack in 10 games last season.
He is a Mobile native who helped Auburn win the BCS Championship Game in 2011 with three tackles for loss against the Oregon Ducks.
The Lions have had two other players, Mikel Leshoure and Johnny Culbreath, who have been arrested for alleged marijuana possession during the off-season.

Calculation widget is not working in my formAsked by nancy5800 on June 22, 2015 at 04:18 PM
I've created a registration form and inserted a link to our Paypal account. The registration form includes multiple choices for activities during a conference. I have inserted the calculation widget/button and tried to make it connect to the payment button, but the two are NOT working. Still show zeros when I do a test run. And, though the form is "submitted" it is not linking into the calculation and payment sections.
Unfortunately, the calculation widget will not work with the checklist widget so you'll need to use regular radio buttons/checkboxes to be able to make calculations based on the selections made.
You can check here: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/51727264383964 a cloned version of your form with a working widget. Feel free to clone it to your account to check it further.

Wheels Give Boys Freedom
Thanks to a $1500 donation from the Bayswater and Noranda Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank, Toby Gill (aged 9) and Liam Avion (aged 19) have had bicycles modified for their special needs.
The Freedom Wheels program run by TADWA (Technology Assisting Disability WA) designs and modifies bikes and trikes to suit the individual needs of adults and children with a disability.
"TADWA Freedom Wheels is about giving a person with a disability the ability to enjoy a new found sense of fun and independence," John Otago Customised Aids and Equipment Manager from TADWA said.
"With the help of the TADWA Occupational Therapists and the highly skilled and innovative team of TADWA technicians, people with a disability can now enjoy greater mobility and a form of recreation previously unavailable to them.
"Toby has autism and ADHD and Liam was diagnosed with autism and is non-verbal, so the new bikes will give them more mobility, greater freedom and change their lives for the better." Mr Otago said.
In 2015, TADWA was the winner of the Telstra Business Centre Belmont Customer Service Award in the Belmont Small Business Awards and the Best Community Not For Profit Organisation Award in the CEBA Business Awards.

Fever 1793
There's a part in every good book that makes the reader have certain emissions. Well this was a good book and as I had said it made me have certain feelings. It made me believe that you can be sad, happy, and sometimes scarcely mad.
Although the main character is real I don't know if the story is. I think this really a amazing book.

How to Design Web Design
IntroVisual impression of some websites can keep attention and stay in memory of visitors for a long time. Why is that? What's making a good design? How they do it? Let me try to answer these questions and uncover the secrets of "looking good" web design.
There is a crucial difference between static graphic design on printed media and web design, but let's start with some common principles of visual design.
Basic Graphic Elements of Visual Design
- Color – there are millions of different colors recognizable by human eyes. All colors have the same properties:
- Hue – rainbow spectrum of different color tones in the visible range of our color vision (from the borders of infra red to the borders of ultra violet).
- Saturation – intensity of color from almost black and white palette to highly saturated color.
- Lightness – value of light from deepest black to brightest white.
- Transparency - visual impression of some value of light passing through the color. The opposite property of transparency is opacity.
- Gradient – smooth chromatic transition from one color to another. Gradients can be complex and include many different colors, even contrast combinations.
- Shape – 2-dimensional or simulated 3-dimensional object. Shapes can be geometric like circles, squares, lines, rectangles etc. and complex organic forms.
- Texture – simulated surface of visual patterns on objects.
- Font - complete set of typographic characters matching the same particular style.
- Size – dimensions and proportions of objects used in design.
- Direction – visually suggested alignment and flow of objects: horizontal, vertical and oblique.
- Scene – space limited by some boundaries where we can place elements of our design, e.g.: browser's window.
CompositionLayout of design elements on the scene called composition. The art of composition is essential driving force of the "good" design. There are major principles of design composition:
- Expediency – relevance and consistency between design elements and informational content on the scene. For instance, if your website is dedicated to science, please don't include religious symbols in your composition. Everything must serve its purpose.
- Style - consistency of design elements throughout entire set of pages on your website. For example, using different fonts on every page of your website can ruin entire style of your website.
- Balance – impression of visual parity between various design elements on the scene. Design elements can be arranged in symmetrical order or asymmetrically to shift the balance to particular place of composition on purpose.
- Focus - design elements can be arranged in particular order to draw attention to some area of the scene. Focus creates center of the interest to make something more important than its environment.
- Contrast – conjunction of opposite elements. Contrast can be between colors, e.g. black and white, green and red, yellow and blue etc. Shapes also can create contrast combinations, e.g. triangle placed on the set of wavy lines.
- Harmony – composition of design elements with similar properties, e.g. harmonic colors or round shapes. Harmony creates feeling of unity and completion.
- Movement – visual flow of design elements on the scene. Movement creates a visual suggestion in particular direction on the scene.
- Rhythm – regular sequence of design elements on the scene. For example rhythm can be created by repetition of the same element with its contrast variation through particular number of the repetitions.
- Proximity – space around key design elements on the scene. Using different proximity we can create groups of various elements, e.g. elements related to each other can be placed in closer proximity and vice versa. Space between design elements is very important. Tightly stuffed elements can create confusion and compromise usability. The right use of proximity creates transparent balance and breathing space of entire composition.
- Unity – visual connection of design elements on the scene. Unity creates perception of composition as a whole. If some of design elements look like orphans on the scene, it means the unity of the entire composition is compromised. Sometimes unity can be broken on purpose, just to create a shift of attention.
Distinctions of Web DesignAs it was mentioned in the beginning there are some differences between graphic design on static media and web design:
- All colors on computer screen actually emit light unlike reflected light of static paper media. Therefore it would be impossible to make the perfect match between the same image on paper and computer monitor.
- Web design deals with interactive and dynamic media of computer screen. All basic design elements including scene (browser's window) can be changed automatically or by user's actions.
- Images used in web design must have much smaller resolution than images printed on paper. Normal resolution for the web is 72 dpi (dots per inch), for prints it's 300 dpi and even bigger.
- When we designing for print, we can use any fonts we like. But for the web we can't do it, because every computer system has its own set of fonts. There is a pretty big chance that fonts you have on your system can absent on others. Therefore we have to specify list of fonts in their priority order in CSS file, e.g. font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;. If you want to use some unique font in your web design you have to use it as an image.
Wabi-Sabi of Web DesignThere are some secrets of how to make your web design "looking good" using ancient Japanese sense of beauty:
- Simplicity and utility – just stay away from oversaturated and aggressive colors, avoid unnecessary elements, and don't overuse graphic effects such as extensive shadows, massive outlines etc.
- Imperfection (on purpose) – can be achieved by avoiding strict symmetry and patterns, avoiding monotonous surfaces and textures, and by mixing them with organic light spots or shadows etc.
- Small elements – temperate adding of pixel-small details to your design elements can spice it up and give it feeling of natural fractality.
- Golden ratio – magical number known as "phi" φ =1.618 is the mathematical proportion that human mind perceives as the most beautiful.
- Incompleteness – try to leave a potential space for content in your web design composition. Content must play the suggested role of completeness.

The videos for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' "Light the World" initiative have reached more than 69 million views, the Church announced Tuesday.
During the month of December, the LDS Church has encouraged its members and anyone who wants to participate to follow a 25-day advent calendar that invites people to engage in Christlike service. The Church released the videos — one introducing the #LIGHTtheWORLD movement and 25 individual videos to represent the theme for the day — on Nov. 25.
The main video, which was produced in 33 languages, has nearly 35 million views. In addition, the 25 short videos for the daily prompts have nearly 31 million video views.
Participants have shared their experiences on social media using the hashtag #LIGHTtheWORLD. In a blog post, the LDS Church shared a story about an inmate who participated. The inmate's mother wrote the LDS Church about how she was sharing the daily prompts with her son (the inmate). On Dec. 7, when the prompt was "Jesus Fed the Hungry and So Can You," the inmate decided to share his candy bar with a new prisoner at his facility. He told his mother that it was the best day he had had in a while, and his mother said sharing the initiative with her son had helped her.
"This 'Light the World' project is giving me some happiness and the feeling that I can do something for him and myself that is positive," she said. … "Being reminded that no matter how little we might think we have, no matter where we are, or what our situation is, we can always serve and give to others, no matter what."
While the prompts continue through Dec. 25, the #LIGHTtheWORLD initiative ends on Jan. 1, 2017. The remaining day themes include:
- Dec. 21: Jesus Forgave Others And So Can You
- Dec. 22: Jesus Showed Gratitude And So Can You
- Dec. 23: Jesus Was A Peacemaker And You Can Be One Too
- Dec. 24: Jesus Cared For His Loved Ones And So Can You
- Dec. 25: Jesus's Disciples Followed Him And So Can We
Watch the video introducing the #LIGHTtheWORLD initiative below.

Why you might want to rethink your standing desk
It might not be as effective as you think it is
If you invested in a standing desk because you thought it might help you to burn more calories than sitting down all day, the results of this new study are likely to surprise you.
In an experiment published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, the energy expenditure of 74 healthy individuals was measured. Participants who stood for 15-minute periods in the workplace only burned eight to nine more calories per hour than those who sat all day.
Walking for 15 minutes per hour was much more effective, expending about 130 more calories than sitting or standing. This is quite significant, especially in the long run.
The results, however, speak specifically about weight loss; standing at work can still lessen the risk of diabetes, regulate blood sugar and prevent back pain, The New York Times has pointed out.
Still, you're a lot better off taking a walk around the office every once in a while, rather than simply relying on a standing desk.

Finishing Touch
The Finishing Touch Smile Pen is a tooth whitening pen that you simply paint on your teeth to remove stains. The gel bonds to your teeth so it keeps whitening long after you brush it on. It is an advanced way to whiten teeth that is easy to use and maintain.
The Claim
The Finishing Touch infomercial claims that Finishing Touch Smile Whitening Pen can remove stains and make your teeth visibly whiter in just 2 days. You simply brush the Finishing Touch Smile Whitening pen on your teeth. It will take you only 30 seconds to do that. The stains will be gone and you will also have fresher breath after you use it. Your teeth can also be 8 shades whiter after 2 short weeks of using it. The Finishing Touch Smile Whitening Pen gel is made from a unique combination of bioadhesive polymers that bonds to the teeth and releases the active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide. The time-release gel whitens the teeth even long after you use it. It stays active for hours and people with sensitive teen can use it too because of its formula with an ultra-high water content. Unlike bulky trays and strips, the Finishing Touch is easy to use so you can maintain your white teeth without a hassle.
Total Cost Breakdown
4 Visitors rate it 4.0 Stars
What is it?
Finishing Touch is a teeth whitening pen that takes just seconds to apply and contains the same active ingredients that dentists use. In just two days, users will see a visible notice in the shade of their teeth.
How does it work?
Finishing Touch contains the same active ingredients that dentists use to bleach their patients teeth. Dental offices use hydrogen peroxide for their teeth bleaching kits. These kits contain a large amount of the ingredient, while over the counter bleaching kits contain a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. The more hydrogen peroxide, the better the results. Since Finishing Touch works so well, it is likely that it consists of a high amount of hydrogen peroxide for the whitening effect. Finishing Touch should not bother the gums at all because it simply gets painted on wherever the user wants it. It will foam slightly because of the hydrogen peroxide, but it should not be bothersome to the user.
How to use
To use Finishing Touch, first brush teeth as normal. Twist the bottom to retrieve the gel. Then start painting the product on the front teeth and wait for it to dissipate. No rinsing off is required. Avoid painting hidden teeth as this practice will simply be wasting the product. Also avoid swallowing Finishing Touch, but if a small amount of swallowed, it will not be harmful. Since Finishing Touch will foam slightly afterwards, wait to eat or drink anything for about 15 minutes. Application is necessary only once every other day. Finishing Touch will not work for crowns or anything that is not porcelain.
Why buy it?
Finishing Touch is the quickest, safest, easiest, and most convenient way to whiten the teeth. This incredible method removes the costly and aggravating factor of visiting the dentist to get the teeth whitened. Its so easy to use that anyone can do it, and it doesnt cause any painful or harmful side effects. Finishing Touch will make teeth visibly whiter after just 2 days, and after 2 weeks of use, the teeth can be up to 8 shades whiter! No other teeth-whitening product on the market can promise just fast and simple results. Finishing Touch can even be used anytime and anywhere since it is in the convenient form of a pen; even on the go.
The benefits of using Finishing Touch every other day are endless. Here are just a few notable benefits:
- Easy to use. It simply gets painted on the teeth and the user continues with their day.
- Anyone can use it! Finishing Touch can whiten anyones teeth without a problem.
- Amazing value
- Does not cause any side effects
- Easier, more convenient, and less costly than visiting a dentists office to receive the same results
- Can be taken anywhere on the go because of its convenient design
- Doesnt require any special tools to use; it can be used as soon as it arrives
- Works in just seconds
- Users will see amazing results in as little as 2 days

Report summary
Gas, and LNG in particular, is at the heart of INPEX Corporation (INPEX). Its flagship Ichthys LNG project expects first LNG in late-2017. The project is expected to absorb nearly 70% (US$7 billion) of INPEX's total 2016/17 capital expenditure, hence successful execution is a top strategic priority. Historically, INPEX has been financially prudent, holding a significant amount of cash on its balance sheet. However, the price drop coincided with peak investment in Ichthys LNG and INPEX had limited scope to cut costs. Exploration, as one of the few items of discretionary spend in the budget, has been slashed as a consequence, with only 2.5% (US$155 million) of capital expenditure planned in the 2016/17 financial year allocated to exploration; a 15 year low.

After my servers receives updates from my WSUS, it restarts if no one is logged in. Is there a way to avoid this? I have looked through policyeditor (gpedit.msc), but the only settings I can find that relates to this, is the "no auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installation" and if you set the server to just download and not install updates.
I want my servers to download and install updates and NOT restart, even if no users is logged on. Is this possible?
I have several different server OS, but the most importent servers are 2008 and 2008 R2.

You may need to do it with a scheduled task and a script. I found a powershell script yesterday that lets you tell it to install but not reboot. I'll post it to the script center. I didn't write it but the credit to the author is in the comments of the script.

Another work around is to have the console automatically login and lock at startup. It can be insecure to do this though because the password is stored in the registry unencrypted.
Nov 10, 2011 at 8:45 UTC
You should set them to download only. It is not a good practice to run a computer with patches installed but not applied. The servers will not restart automatically when you manually install the updates.
Nov 10, 2011 at 8:50 UTC
On all server, the setting in GPO for the Server OU is to download updates, but don't install them. Just notification only. I manually handle them.
Nov 10, 2011 at 10:20 UTC
I agree that with servers you should never have it install updates automatically, let alone auto reboot after.
The servers here are set to download and notify for install.
Nov 11, 2011 at 1:36 UTC
+1 for manual install. Never set a server to autoupdate.
Nov 17, 2011 at 2:04 UTC
Thanks for all the answers. I think I will opt to download but not install the updates. It still annoys me, that this has to be the setting. Why isn't there an option to install but not restart at all? I know that it can be a bad thing to install without restart, since some update will not get activated, but I still like that choice over the manual install. We have 50+ server and I would hate to have to visit them all a couple of times a week. Right now I will only do the manual install thing on selected servers. The rest, the administrator is usually logged in.
Nov 17, 2011 at 7:06 UTC
We have over 300 servers. That's why I use the script I mentioned before. Went from taking me two days to do all the updates to taking about 20 minutes.
Nov 17, 2011 at 8:35 UTC
No need to check updates multiple times a week. Patch Tuesday is the second Tuesday of every month. Yes, MS may release critical updates off of that schedule, but their are newsfeeds and tools to use that can alert you of that.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

K-State Continues Torrid Pace at Pacific Invite
K-State Continues Torrid Pace at Pacific Invite
STOCKTON, Calif. Kansas State's Joe Ida carded the lowest round ever by a Wildcat on a par-72 course and for the second consecutive day the team fired one of the top scores in school history while leading the field at the Pacific Invitational.
Ida led all competitors at Brookside Country Club with a 7-under 65, and notched the fourth-best score ever by a Wildcat golfer and top score for an individual on a par-72 course. A day after the Wildcats shot a 15-under 273, the third-best round in school history, Kansas State tallied a 14-under 274.
The Wildcats lead No. 1-ranked Charlotte by six strokes and sit alone at the top of the Pacific Invitational leader board at 273-274547 (-29) with one round left to play on Wednesday. UC-Davis is third at 278-278556 (-20) and Oregon is fourth at 279-279558 (-18).
"They answered the call today and they've got to go out and answer the call tomorrow," K-State head coach Tim Norris said. "There are a lot of birdies out there to be had if you make good shots. We got the low score in the first round and the second round and as good as my math is, if we have the low score tomorrow I think we'll be in good shape. That's the mindset that they have to play with, go out and keep firing."
Ida's record performance vaulted him into a second-place tie with Cal-State Northridge's Nick Delio at 10-under 134, one stroke off the tournament leader. The Fort Scott, Kan., native recorded his second bogey-free round of the tournament and collected a team-high seven birdies en route to setting a new personal best.
"Wow, he's been playing great," Norris said. "Golf is a game of confidence and he has a lot of it right now. He's hitting the driver well and that sets you up to play the golf course. The driver's not a scoring club, but it can put you in a position where you can score and the rest of his game is in good shape too. You have to continue to put the ball in play and stay on offense," Norris said of Ida, who was especially efficient on the back nine with five birdies.
"It's just Joe being Joe. He's a good player. He's a very, very capable player and he's got a chance to get better too. He's playing with patience and confidence, throw in a lot of God-given ability and talent and that's a good combination."
Robert Streb's only blemish came on the 16th hole where he carded a six on a par-5, but the junior from Edmond, Okla., had five birdies while scoring the Wildcats' second best score on Tuesday, a 4-under 68. Streb maintained his position from the start of the day and is tied for ninth at 69-68137 (-7).
Mitchell Gregson and Kyle Smell both finished under par and helped K-State to its second day with all four contributing scores below the course standard of 72. Gregson finished the day 2-under and was tied for 12th with Smell at 6-under 138.
Ross Guebelle maintained his 54th position and did not contribute to the team total with a 2-over 74.
K-State's second-round score is the fourth-lowest round since the current records were kept in 1969. Ida's score tops A.J. Elgert's 67 in the first round of the 2002 Stevinson Ranch Invitational as the lowest par-72 round. Ida's previous career best was 70 at the 2006 Wolverine Intercollegiate.
"It's a lot of fun," Norris said. "It's gratifying to see. These guys put in a lot of hard work. You watch them grow and get results. It's nice to get a little positive reinforcement once in a while. You want to see your players grow and you want to see how you measure up."
"When we tee it up tomorrow with the No. 1 team in the country and they haven't lost a stroke-play tournament this year, it'll be a nice opportunity for our guys to see how they stack up."
The Wildcats conclude play at the Pacific Invitational on Wednesday with tee times on the 1st and 10th holes at 8 a.m. (PT). Live score updates are available at www.golfstat.com and other tournament information is available at www.pacificinvitational.com.

Like its name, my grasshopper leaps over the competition
By grasshoppermom on
Vehicle2005 Scion xA 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 4A)
ReviewHe (yes, he's a he) scoots in and out of traffic, passing SUVs like they are standing still, leaps around clumps of snarled traffic by his quick ability to dart in and out of lanes. I named him grasshopper because the neat lines of the hatch remind me of a grasshopper's straight angled back legs.
mileage could be a tad better. 25 in town, 33 highway. Packs full and I have helped folks move in this little car. The depth of hatch door opening makes it easy to toss everything into it, including the kitchen sink if need be. I work in real estate and remodelling such, and can fit an eight foot 2x4 and a 12x8 piece of carpet stuck out the window. A great lil' big car. 122,000 mi and counting...
Best FeaturesDash set-up which I can see without peering over and under the steering wheel. Lots of comfy leg room, he will steer himself but I do keep one finger on the wheel. Crawls through deep snow like a four-by, and in low gear can climb uphill in snow without flinching. Headlights small but bright in high beams. Good hill climbing at highway speeds as he shifts down into passing gear. Run at 75-80 and he likes it over 65 at least. A dear sweet little car and best I have ever owned with the exception of my Tercel SR5 Wagon
Worst FeaturesOnly improvement would be a little brighter low beams, and if the occasional mysterious dash rattle could be figured out. The black upholstery which is standard on the X series might offer a slightly lighter choice as it does show my long hair and the cats too.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/7/2014 (1140 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MOSCOW -- Where Crimeans used to chomp down on Big Macs, they will soon be able to order a Czar Cheeseburger as Russian chain Rusburger opens in a former McDonald's outlet in the annexed peninsula.
McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food chain, pulled out of Crimea in April after Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to annex the region from Ukraine. Russia is struggling to steady its $2-trillion economy after the annexation led the U.S. and European Union to impose sanctions on individuals and companies, exacerbating an economic slump.
RusBurger is a small chain of a dozen restaurants that promotes itself as selling the "taste of Russia." Instead of a Big Mac, it offers Czar cheeseburgers and Bogatyr, a sandwich named after hero warriors of ancient Russia. Instead of cola, RusBurger serves local pear lemonade.

Rooms are very nice, beds and pillows are comfortable. Busy road right next to hotel and the walls and floors are paper thin. People floor above were stomping around from midnight until 1am.
This is a good place to crash for a reasonable price. Food is expensive $48 (with tax and gratuity) for 2 eggs, bacon, juice and pancakes. Room service person was very nice, but stood and waited after I signed the slip - until I asked if the gratuity was included and he said, "yes". Note gratuity is 19% + tax.
This hotel does offer valet parking, which I may choose if I come here again. It's not absurdly a long walk, but it is at the complete opposites ends of a city block, with no skyway, and no automatic doors to help you through if you have a lot of luggage (which I did). Front desk person was distracted and not very friendly (might have been because it was late when I arrived)...
The room has a great LCD TV, coffee maker, tea (Lipton) and a nice shower.

Everything that's required to start a 100% legally compliant medical or recreational marijuana business in your state is covered in our complete packages.
The packages are drafted by our amazing Associates and the included simple, thorough and easy-to-follow instructions are identical to what they do for Diamond customers. These procedures have been tried and tested in every state with medical or recreational marijuana laws in place and provide the quickest, easiest and best way to start your medical or recreational marijuana business.
Please note that there will be differences between the packages based on the state (and what they require) and the business type.
All instructions and documents are included in Microsoft Word, Excel and/or PDF formats for ease of use and compatibility.
This part of the package contains our Business Plan individual package.
Following the instructions will allow you to have a complete and professional business plan, including pro forma financials and projections, to start and operate your medical or recreational marijuana business in your state. Most business plans will be over 50+ pages when complete and be very thorough, which can be used for licensing applications and/or fundraising efforts.
The business plan, financials and instructions are in Microsoft Word, Excel and/or PDF formats.
Here's the areas that are covered in the business plan:
After you've drafted your business plan and associated financials, you'll need to determine the feasibility of the business location(s) on the state, city and county levels.
We'll give you the state's regulations for your business in plain english, then show you how to find your city and county's regulations so you can determine whether the location(s) meet all requirements to operate legally.
If you run into any snags during this section, definitely use your included email support and let our Associates lend a hand.
This part of the package is exactly what's included in our Form Your Company individual package.
Here you will receive all the legally required documents
These necessary steps and document creations are covered in this portion of the Complete package (some steps may be different due to regulatory requirements in your state):
In the "Location & Licensing Determination" section, you already found the licensing and permitting requirements and documentation.
Now our Associates will show you how to draft and submit the licensing and permitting applications for your state as well as provide example applications for cities and counties. While no two city and county applications are the same, they usually are similar and our Associates will prepare you for the common snags and pitfalls most people have when going through this process.
Our Associates can help navigate any issues you run in to with the included support.
Often, your business, will need to meet very specific location requirements. This depends heavily on the state, city and county regulations. We'll give you a breakdown of every requirement your location must meet, as well as how to negotiate with landlords and property owners to meet those needs with as little risk exposure as possible.
Operations is a broad category and encompasses a large portion of the business setup and startup. Depending on your state, all or some of the below sections are required to ensure 100% regulatory compliance. Often, during the licensing phase, you may be asked to supply some or all of the documents and procedures listed below.
Most states have very specific requirements for employees on the state, city and county levels. For the marijuana industry, there may also be additional requirements outside of the state, city or county ones, as well. These are the most commonly required things to have (whatever is necessary for licensing and compliance in your state will be included):
How to conduct business with outside contractors and associated documents/contracts to have them sign and provide to you in order to remain in legal compliance.
How to maintain the required records for licensing, auditing & tax purposes. As well as the details about your tax liabilities for your business type and what you can expect to pay in taxes.
A complete overview of common accounting practices (GAAP) as well as the regulations that must be met in order to be in total compliance.
We'll breakdown exactly the requirements for your inventory control system and what must be tracked and how. Some states required seed-to-sale tracking, others have varying degrees of requirements. We will also make suggestions for the best solutions currently available on the market to meet all requirements.
We will tell and show you exactly what is required to be in compliance with all regulations and how to meet these requirements for your business. This often includes:
Our Associates will walk you through what is and isn't allowed in regards to marketing and publicity for your business. They'll also instruct you about how to join and promote on marketing outlets like Weedmaps, Leafly, Etc. and whatever is legally allowed for your state.
At the end of every fiscal year, you'll be required to renew licenses, pay associated taxes as well as meet other state, city and county year-end requirements. Our Associates will go over everything you need to know and do for the end of each year so you remain in compliance for the following year.

Welcome to Haiti
Haiti's government between Papa doc and Baby doc
In 1950 Haiti has elected a man named Paul Magloire for President who was an army officer. Six years later, Paul has resigned after rioting broke out. After Paul resigned, the army took control over the government. Two years after Paul resigned, Papa Doc (who was a doctor) became President of Haiti.
Four years before Papa Doc became president he joined the government or President Dumarsais Estime, becoming director general of the National Public Health Service, in 1948 he is appointed as minister of public health and labor.
A couple years later President Estime was overthrown on May 10. After that Duvalier returned to his medical career.Behind the scenes he began organizing against the military regime. In 1956 the relinquishes power in December. Later on 6 governments were formed in 10 months.
In 1957, with army backing, Duvalier is elected President for a six year term on the 22 of September. Duvalier promised to end the privileges of the mulatto elite and bring political and economic power to the black masses, however the political climate remains unstable.
Papa Doc was a crazy man. For example a fortune teller once told him that one of his former enemies will turn into a black dog. So he took matters into his own hands and killed all of the black dogs Port Tu Prince and also killed whoever had a black dog.
Why Haitians left: A lot of Haitians left because Papa doc was not only crazy but he also killed people for no reason at all or for the dumbest reasons . Also a lot of his policies were ridiculous .

Not long ago, I caught an episode of Andrew Zimmerman's Bizarre Foods. This particular episode was all about the culinary delights of Australia. Marmite was given a large chunk of air time including an interview with a couple of boys who ate it on buttered toast at least twice a day as a snack.
I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about. So I picked some up at the store. I buttered some toast. And I was so scared that I suckered my 4-year-old into tasting it before I did. Bad mommy.
It smells pleasant enough, reminding me of molasses. But the taste was not to our liking in the least. It reminded me of fermentation experiments I've encountered that have gone horribly wrong. It's too bad because Marmite is packed with B vitamins. It stands as a shining example of the fact that kids can enjoy all kinds of foods if they are exposed to them regularly when they are young.
