Guest Editorial
Clarifying the Proper Use of Planning Conditions and s. 106 Planning Obligations
Various aspects of the proper use of planning conditions and s. 106 planning obligations have been considered by the courts during the past twelve months. In particular, the courts have analysed (i) whether a local planning authority may lawfully impose a planning condition that prevents development from coming forward until CIL-funded infrastructure has been provided, even if that is not within the power of the applicant.
2016-based household projections for England
The Office for National Statistics have published the 2016-based household projections, having taken over the responsibility from MHCLG.
Government Causing Council Concerns by Pushing Oxbridge Corridor Delivery
Last Winter, the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) set out their vision for how the Oxford to Cambridge corridor was going to be developed. The NIC report, 'Partnering for Prosperity' proposed creation of an expressway and the East-West rail link between the two cities, alongside the substantial target of one million new homes by 2050.
Landowners Will Always Seek Higher Value Based on Hope
The HCLG Committee has published its report into land value capture, exploring the options for local and national government to realise a greater share of the uplift in land value when residential planning permission is achieved.
Concerns Over Under-delivery as Councils Propose Staged Housing Requirements
A growing number of local planning authorities are producing local plans proposing housing targets on a phased trajectory, where annual completions increase at fixed points over the plan period. Some in the development community fear that the trend could make under-delivery of homes more likely.
Strategic Housing Land in Central Scotland
With the publication of two Strategic Development Plans (SDPS): SESplan (South East Scotland) Examination Report in July 2018, and, the adoption of Clydeplan (Glasgow City Region) in July 2017, this review highlights what key implications both SDPs will have on the future of strategic land across central and south east Scotland. Particular attention is focussed on housing supply targets (HSTs).
Upcoming this Autumn
Housing Delivery Test
The housing delivery test for planning authorities is set to be implemented the day following the publication of the housing delivery test results in November 2018. The government have also published a rulebook setting out how to calculate the test.

1. At 3 Quarks Daily, Liam Heneghan has some thoughts on the absence of snakes in Ireland — among other critters:
Snakes, however, are not the only species that can be found in Britain or continental Europe while being entirely absent from Ireland. Moles, several species of bats, many bird species, including the Tawny Owl, several titmouse species, and woodpeckers, innumerable insects species, many plants, and so on, might be added to the roster of St Patrick bio-vandalism. Of course, biogeographers have long known that the impoverished nature of the Irish biota is attributable to a number of factors unrelated to St Patrick.
Firstly, Ireland is a relatively small island with an area of 84,421 km² compared to Great Britain which is almost three times the size (229,848 km²). The European land area is considerable larger still being over one hundred times that of Ireland's (at 10.18 million km²). Now, one of ecology's more robust laws posits a relationship between area and species diversity. The more land, the more species. A consideration of the relatively restricted latitudinal range of Ireland in comparison to Europe intuitively suggests why Ireland must have fewer species. For example, since Ireland does not have a considerable southern stretch it has no Mediterranean zone, though it does have an enigmatic "Lusitanian flora" found disjunctly in Ireland and in North Spain and Portugal. …
Secondly, the present day biota of Ireland was assembled largely after the the glaciers of the Last Ice Age retreated. Although there may be some relicts of those formerly icy time, for example the Irish Arctic char, an apparently delicious trout-like fish, which is found in some Irish upland lakes, most Irish wildlife migrated there over the past several thousands of years.
Important to understanding these post-glacial migratory patterns is knowledge of the timing of the closing of putative land-bridges connecting Ireland and Great Britain, and Great Britain and the European mainland. Ireland was separated from a source of biotic colonists early in its post-glacial history, whereas Britain retained these connections until some time later. Naturally, species that flap, float or swim could make their way over to Ireland in their own sweet time. But snakes and other creeping things were quite simply out of luck.
Interesting throughout. Please do read the whole thing.

5. Mark Kleiman: "Both sides agree that it would be rude to compare what Putin just did in the Crimea to what Hitler did in the Sudetenland: not actully false, you see, just impolite. And since people who are impolite to Col. Putin have way of encountering dioxin or polonium-210, I suppose they are right to urge caution."
6. Regarding Godwin's Law: "By pretending the Nazis were so evil that NO comparison to them, however apt, is reasonable, we essentially say that Nazism was some sort of fluke that could never happen again…and that, sadly, is completely untrue."
7. Scott Lemieux has some thoughts on electoral reforms in the US ("Instant Runoff Yay, PR Nay"):
I certainly support instant runoff voting or a similar procedure that would prevent irrational results in multy-party races. This isn't usually a major problem in American politics because of Duverger's law (which is actually merely a strong tendency), but it's a potential problem it's worth correcting for. Remember that there's no reason to believe that instant runoff would produce better results from a normative standpoint — a popular vote with instant runoff almost certainly gives us President Al Gore, but it also almost certainly gives us President Stephen Douglas — but there's no reason to have an electoral system open to producing such irrational results.
Also: "I also don't agree that more parties would benefit politics by "getting more ideas" injected into the political system. The decentralized American system generates a surfeit of political ideas for great to awful. The problem isn't the production of ideas. The problem is getting them implemented by sclerotic American political institutions, particularly if they're unfavorable to powerful interests. PR would, if anything, exacerbate this problem rather addressing it."
8. A website identifying which Democrats progressives should primary (using primary as a transitive verb, not as a noun — which is fine). Each Democrat in Congress receives a grade (which, I gather, incorporates the risk of a state or district changing parties): "Good Democrat" — "Should be more Progressive" — "Could Be Primaried" — "Should Be Primaried" — "Must Be Primaried."

11. Tony Benn, the British Labour politician, has passed away. Here is a Guardian obituary. (H/T: Harry Brighouse.)
It was largely for Benn's benefit (and thanks to his advocacy) that Parliament passed the Peerage Act 1963, which allowed Benn and other hereditary heirs to disclaim their peerages. (Tony Benn had been a Member of the House of Commons when his father died in 1960, and by inheriting the Viscounty of Stansgate the younger Benn immediately lost his seat in the Commons.)
12. "Ranking the New Doctor Who Companions." I disagree rather strongly with this ranking, but cannot at this time go into a detailed rebuttal or explanation of my own ranking. Clara Oswald is my favorite of the modern companions — even though I preferred David Tennant to Matt Smith as the Doctor (as all right-thinking people do), and Clara is never paired with Tennant's Tenth Doctor. After Clara, my next favorite companion is almost certainly Rose Tyler, probably followed by Amy Pond and then by Rory Williams. I can't say I ever really warmed to Donna Noble. (Does River Song really count as a companion in Doctor Who terminology?)
13. House of Geekery: "13 Terrible X-Men We Won't See in the Movies."
14. This xkcd comic got me thinking about which countries have the most time zones. Fortunately, of course, Wikipedia has a list covering that inquiry.
I was shocked to see that France — France! — has the most time zones of any country (12), ahead of the United States (11). (The juvenile in me wants to annex Clipperton Island or sponsor an independence movement for New Caledonia just to knock France down a peg in the time-zone-possessing rankings.)
Russia, of course, has the most territorially contiguous time zones (8). Kamchatka is eight hours ahead of Moscow. Russia has one other time zone (for a total of 9), but the Kaliningrad Oblast (one hour behind Moscow) is not contiguous to the rest of Russia. (At least, not at the moment — maybe next week Putin will decide to annex Lithuania and northern Belarus — to protect the Russian citizens living there, to be sure.)
Canada has 6 time zones.
Small overseas island possessions mean that several countries have multiple time zones: the UK (9), Denmark (5), New Zealand (5).
Portugal and Spain each have a second time zone for their Atlantic archipelagos (the Azores and the Canaries, respectively). Ecuador has a separate time zone for the Galapagos Islands, and Chile has a separate time zone for Easter Island.
As best I can tell, the smallest country with at least 2 contiguous time zones is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (which is not a small country, just the smallest fitting this criterion). Mongolia and Kazakhstan both have 2 time zones.
China has only 1 time zone, even though the Sun may rise in Beijing four hours before sunrise in parts of western Sinkiang and Tibet.
Anyway, I learned that one interesting consequence of the Arab Spring is that Libya changed its time zone. Cool.

Happy Mardi Gras!
When most people think of Mardi Gras, they think of New Orleans; the parades, the floats, the beads, the food, the celebration. But did you know that Mardi Gras is also one of the great Italian holiday traditions? And that it all started with ancient Roman culture?
The ancient Romans, of course, were predecessors of the Italian people. And, like all good Italians, they liked nothing better than a good party full of good food, laughter and friends.
To celebrate the winter solstice, the feast of 'Saturnalia' took place in mid-December, honoring Saturn, the god of seed and sowing, and Opalia, goddess of plenty. And 'Lupercalia', an ancient feast celebrating fertility, was held in February and is also thought to be a forerunner of Mardi Gras, although it's also linked with Valentine's Day.
When the Christian religion grew in ancient Rome, its leaders decided to use these pagan festivals to their advantage rather than try to outlaw them. So, the celebrations of 'Saturnalia' and 'Lupercalia' became incorporated into the Church's preparations for the celebrations of the resurrection of Christ - Easter Sunday.
Ash Wednesday, forty days before Easter, starts a period of Lent fasting and abstinence. Knowing that this period of lean was coming, the idea of Carnival or 'Carnevale' was born and combined with those ancient Roman feasts to create 'Mardi Gras', literally 'Fat Tuesday'.
Italy celebrates Carnevale with a huge winter festival celebrated with parades, masquerade balls, entertainment, music, and parties. And, of course, delicious food.
As we celebrate 2018 as the Year of Italian Food, here are some traditional Carnivale dishes to help you celebrate the season.
Castagnole sweet dough balls are a delicious Italian sweet, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. A traditional recipe during Carnivale time.We love this recipe from An Italian in My Kitchen.
A properly-made lasagna is a dish of consummate beauty and one of the most beloved Italian food dishes in the world. Check out this recipe from Walks of Italy.
Chiacchiere (literal translation: "little gossips") are thin fried pastries common in Italy during Carnevale. They are called Chiacchiere due to the noise and crunch made while eating the crisp dough. Check out this recipe from Taras's Multicultural Table.
Sanguinaccio is a sweet custard made with dark chocolate and flavored with fresh pig blood (yes, you read that right). Check out the recipe on Life in Italy.
Buon appetito!

Linn-Benton Community College Family Connection supports the idea that true quality child care rests with the provider who gives that daily care. Family Connections is dedicated to building a quality child care supply by supporting, encouraging, training and consulting with child care providers.
When providers enroll with Family Connections it is understood that they, too, are interested in assuring children a quality care situation. To help protect the health and safety of children, Family Connections accepts complaints regarding children's care. In an effort to increase the quality of care, this information is shared with the provider involved. Family Connections is not a regulatory agency and does not automatically report all feedback to the Office of Child Care or to Child Welfare except in cases of suspected child abuse or neglect or where the immediate health and safety of children appears to be at risk. Family Connections does pass on serious complaints to the Office of Child Care.
The following is a set of procedures that Family Connections uses in the complaint process. It is important for providers to understand the procedures and how they will affect individual child care businesses.
When a complaint regarding a child care provider is received a Family Connections staff member will:
- Take down pertinent information on a provider feedback form.
- Advise the caller to make a first hand complaint to the appropriate person or agency:
- For personal conflicts to the person involved.
- For violations of child care rules and regulations to the Child Care Division.
- For suspected child abuse and neglect to Services to Children and Families or law enforcement personnel.
Family Connections staff may:
- Write a letter to the provider indicating the nature of the complaint. Family Connections does not act as a mediator but a record of complaints received will be kept. This helps to identify patterns of dissatisfaction and technical assistance that could be provided.
- Send a copy of the complaint with pertinent information to the Child Care Division if the complaint is a violation of rules or if abuse is suspected.
For second complaints on the same provider a letter may be sent or a phone call made to see if technical assistance will help improve the situation.
If subsequent complaints are received a provider may be suspended from referral files.
The following are conditions that may result in immediate suspension from referral files:
- Conditions which jeopardize children's safety.
- Non-compliance with Family Connections guidelines.
- Complaints from more than one parent regarding the same conditions.
- Failure of the provider to respond to inquiries or offers of assistance.
- Intent to deny issues by the Child Care Division.
- Denial of AFS listing.
- Information from an agency regarding an investigation of suspected child abuse, neglect or other illegal actions.
The provider will be notified of any suspension of referrals within 10 days except when such notification would interfere with an investigation by a regulatory agency.
If anyone inquires about a suspended provider they will be told that the current provider is not on the current Family Connections referral list.
Temporary suspension will remain in effect until Family Connections is satisfied that the conditions have been corrected or eliminated or the provider is permanently removed from the provider list.
Causes for permanent removal from the provider list may include but are not limited to:
- Confirmation of complaints justifying temporary suspension or continued failure to correct conditions underlying complaints.
- Persistent failure to respond to Family Connections inquiries concerning complaints.
- Serious injury to children due to conditions in the provider's control.
- A continued history of complaints concerning the children's health, safety or well-being.
Permanent Removal Procedures:
- Family Connections will notify the provider of permanent removal by certified mail within 10 days.
- Responses to inquiries made regarding the provider will be limited to the information that the provider is not included on the current Family Connections referral list.
- Family Connections will notify parents who have been recently referred.
Permanent Removal may be appealed by the provider by the following procedure: Notice of intent to appeal must be made in writing within 10 days of receipt of certified letter.
Appeal should be sent to:
Director, Department of Family Resources and Education
Linn-Benton Community College
6500 Pacific Blvd SW
Albany, OR 97321
A committee will be appointed by the Family Connections Advisory Committee. It will consist of at least one Family Connections staff member and one Family Connections Advisory Committee Member. The committee will meet with the provider appealing permanent removal within 30 days of notice of appeal.
The decision of this Committee will be communicated in writing to the provider within 10 days after the hearing shall be final.

This album, illustrating the second part (the first one is lost) of the famous Japanese novel, Ise Monogatari, consists of 83 Yamato-e style paintings by artists of the Tosa School which fuses decorative elements from the Kano School. The calligraphic "narratives" associated to each scene are written, on the opposite page of each illustration, in cursive style. Each written page is signed with the name and the social rank of the calligrapher, and report the date of execution in the Enpo period. The very high artistic standard both of the paintings and calligraphy make this sophisticated example of Japanese painting and calligraphy a piece of art fully enjoyable beyond the original function of an illustrated novel.

Transporting a vehicle from Nicholasville to the West Coast can be done without racking up the mileage and taking the time to drive it there on your own. Save yourself the time and stress by hiring a transport company that specializes in motorcycle transport.
When you have the right company caring for your bike and the transport process, you can focus on other matters while following your motorcycle's whereabouts with the tracking services.
Motorcycle transport is a relatively simple process. The grunt of the work is securing it onto the hauler, but the drivers will have years of experience and training to do this with ease. Customized bikes will be a little more difficult and may require an up charge. When the vehicle is en route, the driver will pay close attention to road and weather reports, avoiding any possible obstacles that might put the bike at risk.
As the motorcycle is on the road, you can keep track of it with the company's tracking services. As it gets nearer to its destination, the truck driver will contact you to let you know when it is anticipated to arrive. You must pick the bike up or be present when it is dropped off. If it won't be you at the next location, inform the company of who the responsible party will be. They will need to present certain documentation before the motorcycle can be released into their care.
Common Transport Services.
- Door to door.
- Terminal to terminal.
- Military.
- Student.
- Snowbirds.
- Enclosed transport.
- Open air transport.
- Crated transport.
- Expedited delivery.
- Guaranteed delivery.
- Tracking services.
- Long distance.
All of the above services are common on the East Coast. If you prefer specific services, look for companies that offer them. Not all transport companies offer the same things. Some of them specialize in specific transports such as motorcycle shipping.

you can always fall back on the truth
Now I'm sure. And now I'm angry.... at the very point you admit you're wrong, when you're throwing me conciliation. Cause now I'm sure. Which is an admission I wasn't sure before, as I raged, unsure I wasn't raging wrongly. But now I'm even angrier cause I'm sure. And thanks I guess for at least granting me that surety, finally, turning off the gaslight. Actually I don't "guess", I'm sure it really is something to be thankful for. But the anger I now know is justified must be put to use, at long last. Kind of a shame your retreat to honesty is the site of your ruin. Your dishonesty was your strength, and it was weakness to tell the truth, but it's what you fall back on when all other options are gone. But it would be epically weak not to take this advantage and I see that winning trumps compassion, it always did, as I watch you losing, seeing there's no consolation, nothing, and of course it'll come back at me, there'll be hypocrisy and let-down all around, but it's still better than being where you are, infinitely. But it's not as fun as it might have been, to disinfect this capital with fire and bleach. The sun is shining but it never disinfected anything, you were out in the open, insisting you were justified, so sophisticated. The sun is shining down on a sterile wreck of a city, all that sophistry now a worthless currency, now we try and synthesize money from honesty.

Ciminelli Real Estate Corp. is re-listing three multifamily apartment houses on Potomac and Ashland avenues, after officials decided they would not be a core part of the developer's planned Arbor + Reverie project along Elmwood Avenue.
Ciminelli said the properties - 584 and 588 Potomac and 721 Ashland - will be put back on the market this weekend through Red Door Real Estate WNY, based in the Elmwood Village. Anne Duggan, a Ciminelli spokeswoman, said the woman-owned brokerage seeks "financially qualified buyers with a reputation for quality management of their properties."
The developer purchased the three houses and eight other properties from Donald and Lori Leone, with plans for a $40 million project that would include two five-story buildings, 97 residential units, eight retail spaces and 150 parking spaces.
Ciminelli intended to demolish the homes, but reversed course amid opposition to the project. Instead, it was going to renovate them as stand-alone multi-family homes.
Duggan said company officials are "still evaluating multiple options," but found the houses wouldn't play a role in any of them.
The three-story building at 584 Potomac has six units, including two studios, while 588 Potomac is a three-story building with three units and 721 Ashland has eight units on three floors.

The Six Sevens
Love at first listen with The Six Seven's "Watch Your Head"
Yes yes yes! Poppy, punky and some solid rock n' roll, The Six Sevens are working some justice on their new album, "Watch Your Head." We're glad to have snagged them from down in Santa Barbara, whose beachy skater vibes sneak into a couple tracks in just the right way. Influenced by groups like Joyce Manor, The Front Bottoms and The Districts, their songs have funny, youthful lyrics, a refreshing mix of old school harmonies and guitar ticklings that remind us of the Strokes with a touch of Weezer. Shout out to track "San Francisco" for obvious reasons and "Back to the Start" for those killer melodies. It's an album that's easy to fall for on the first listen and it was all written, mixed and produced in their garage. We're glad to have these boys around to play the local scene. Stay tuned for details on their next show in Oakland this January. And 'til then, crank it. - Michelle Kicherer, Associate Editor

Holiday Inn Express

Holiday Inn Express is a mid-priced hotel chain within the InterContinental Hotels Group family of brands. Originally founded as an "express" hotel, their focus is on offering limited services at a reasonable price. Standard amenities lean toward the convenient and practical which cater to business travelers and short-term stays. As of September 2019, there are 2,826 Holiday Inn Express hotels featuring over 292,000 rooms worldwide.[1]
The Holiday Inn Express concept was intended to target the "upper economy" market segment, offering limited service, low-price lodging.[2][3][4][5]
In Europe, the hotels were known as Express by Holiday Inn,[6] but this variation was phased out during the Holiday Inn Global Brand Relaunch which was announced in 2007.[citation needed]
In 1991, the first Holiday Inn Express locations opened, with three hotels opening in the United States. Plans at the time called for 250 locations to be open by 1995.[7]
In 1996, the brand's first European location opened in Scotland.[7]
Starting in 1998, Holiday Inn Express started an ad campaign called "Stay Smart" ads that featured ordinary people achieving superior feats, such as averting a nuclear disaster or performing like rock stars. When questioned on whether or not they are professionals, they would attribute their skills to their stay there with the reply: "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!" These ads have received positive reviews, and have been so successful they have crossed over into popular culture, having been featured in late night comedian jokes and political cartoons.[8] Current ads feature comedian Rob Riggle.[citation needed]
Typical Holiday Inn Express hotels are built from corporate architectural prototypes, and tend to consist of 60–80 rooms, with a mix of suites and standard rooms in North American properties. Because the chain has been undergoing tremendous growth, the majority of Holiday Inn Express hotels are brand new or newly renovated.[9][10][11]
The original Holiday Inn Express properties were no-frills hotels with rooms comparable in quality to those of an upscale hotel, but there would be no room service, swimming pool, restaurant, bar, health club, meeting facilities or other on-site amenities, offering only continental breakfast and an exercise room. However newer Holiday Inn Express do feature most amenities from the higher-end Holiday Inn brand, such as a restaurant and bar, conference rooms, and even a full fitness center with a swimming pool. A major differentiation is location, with Express properties typically found in suburbs and besides freeways, while the upmarket Holiday Inn has been placed in urban areas (including downtown) and often near tourist attractions.

Toamasina exports sugar, coffee, cloves, and rice. Food processing is the chief industry. The town was founded in the 18th cent. around a European trading post. After its capture (1817) by Radama I, it became the chief port of his kingdom. Toamasina was occupied repeatedly by the French, and it was the base for their conquest (1894) of the interior. Severely damaged (1927) by a storm, the city was subsequently rebuilt.

All of these terms can be quite confusing. It is easier to think of them broadly in two categories:
Grass Trimmers also called Garden Strimmers, Line Trimmers and String Strimmers are all essentially different terms for the same thing. These hand-held machines use some sort of line to cut grass, weeds etc.
They are used for lighter duty tasks such as trimming a lawn in places where your lawnmower can't reach. They tend to be smaller and more lightweight than hand held brushcutters. If you are looking for a machine for tidying up a border, flower bed or lawn then a grass trimmer is probably what you are looking for.
Grass Trimmers are available in a number of different versions. Economical options are electric or battery cordless grass trimmers. These are ideal for smaller gardens with general lighter weight maintenance trimming jobs. These type of strimmers tend not to be as powerful as petrol options and may be all you need but if you have a larger area to tackle and more heavy-duty maintenance then consider purchasing a petrol-powered trimmer or brushcutter.
We recommend this powerful cordless strimmer kit from EGO.
Brushcutters are different to Grass Trimmers in that they are heavier duty, intended for cutting through heavier thicker weeds. They also use nylon line and work in the same way as a grass trimmer but sometimes have a blade option. These are more useful for clearing overgrown areas of brambles, undergrowth, and young saplings.
Hand held brushcutters can be heavy and tiring to use so need to be used with a harness for ease of use and comfort. If you need to clear a larger area then consider a wheeled trimmer mower. This is essentially a brushcutter on wheels, taking the strain off the user so that a harness is not required.
Take a look at the DR Wheeled Trimmer range for well-priced, robust and reliable wheeled trimmers.

Welcome to the final installment of Death's Door in the Year of Our Nefarious Overlord 2017! Wipe your feet on the mat, remove that stupid holiday-induced smile from your face, and prepare yourself for ultimate year-end audio brutalization. Because, quite frankly, 2017 was one of the best years for death metal in decades. A bold statement indeed, and thankfully one with plenty of data in the form of amazing records to back it up. The overwhelming number of releases in this dirtiest of metal subgenres, coupled with the breadth of quality releases in each of the branches of the death metal tree, all accumulate to create one of the most impressive lists of death metal albums in a given year since the early 1990s. 2017 presented us with exceptional records at such an alarming clip that it was often a full-time task to keep track of them. Death metal this year was in equal measure mind-numbingly technical, socially forward-thinking, compositionally adventurous, and reverent of the past, generating albums that displayed with full clarity all that makes this music the metal behemoth that it is. What a time to be alive. In our final segment of Death's Door for the year, we will be highlighting the trends and movements within death metal that we found to be the most significant, as well as our own personal top 15 death metal records on the year. Prepare yourself. Madness awaits.
Welcome to Death's Door! Wipe your feet on the mat. Don't want any oil getting on the floor. Yes, you heard me correctly. Oil. OIL. Everywhere. I remember a time when Hell was just covered in blood, now we've got these god-forsaken machines running around everywhere. Oh, but they don't have SOULS they said. Tell that to my hellhound. All dogs do indeed go somewhere, and it isn't always to the pearly gates. Anyhoo, technical death metal is king of the castle in 2017, and there isn't much we can do about it. Sentient robots, alien lifeforms, and all that jazz. What a year it's been, and frankly the amount of amazing music still to be heard troubles me. I don't have time for this. I have shit to do. But here we are, discussing another ferocious month of death metal insanity. Grab a bone chair and make yourself a Bloody Mary (she won't mind), there's some good stuff to cover.

TOOWOOMBA'S favourite pasta dish has been revealed by Italian chain Vapiano.
On the eve of the restaurant's first birthday in Toowoomba's Grand Central shopping centre, managers at the store say carbonara is the Garden City's favourite dish.
General Manager Margarita Perez said it was pretty clear carbonara was the city's favourite dish, as the store had sold 8000 of them since opening last year.
"But it's not just carbonara that our guests love, it's Italian food in general," Ms Perez said.
Reader poll
Have you tried Vapiano's carbonara?
This poll ended on 17 November 2018.
Current Results
This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
"Over the past 12 months we have prepared 22,000 handmade pizza bases and cooked almost 50,000 servings of fresh pasta.
"Fun facts aside, we're thrilled to celebrate our first birthday in Toowoomba this month and have some fun with our community of carbonara-lovers."
To celebrate its first birthday Vapiano is running a number of competitions and offers in the restaurant including a birthday lucky dip jam-packed with $30,000 worth of prizes.
Each purchase made throughout the month of November will have the opportunity to draw from a lucky dip which is full of prizes such as 50 per cent off vouchers, free bottles of wine and $25 vouchers.
"We are also giving away $500 worth of Vapiano vouchers to a lucky winner at the end of the month - all you have to do is sign up to our VIP email list and the winner will be drawn on December 3," Ms Perez said.
"But the celebrations don't end there, Vapiano is also offering anyone born in November a free pizza or pasta on the day of their birthday, just bring in your photo ID to redeem."

Hickeys or love bites are purplish bluish marks that occur when lovers nibble or bite down on the skin in heat of passion. It might feel good at the time, but a hickey can be embarrassing and can even be an eyesore if it is on the neck or other prominent areas of the body. Today we will study some easy ways to hide a hickey.
3. Oils
Many carrier and essential oils can remove the hickey in seconds. So rub some diluted Lavender, Peppermint or Tea tree oil on the lovebite. Cover it up with a bandage. Repeat application after 2 hours and continue to apply the oil until the lovebite has disappeared. You can also use coconut oil, sesame oil, jojoba oil or olive oil to lighten the hickey. Bio-Oil® or other scar fading products can also do wonders.
8. Makeup
Foundation creams and powder makeup are one of the easiest ways to hide a hickey. Choose a produce closest in color to your skin tone. Apply it liberally on the hickey. Choose a waterproof product that lasts all day.
14. Rub a banana peel on hickey
Use the inside of a ripe banana peel to rub the lovebite and get rid of it within seconds. If the mark does not fade, repeat several more times every few hours. Banana peels have special enzymes and compounds that lighten the skin and fade marks, blemishes and bruises.
18. Tea bag remedy
Brew a tea bag and apply it on the hickey. Press gently. The flavonoids in tea lighten the skin tone, restore blood circulation and fade the hickey in few seconds.
Try these 18 easy ways to hide hickeys and make lovebites disappear overnight!
If these tips made your life a little easier, please share your experience in the comments.
What Exactly is a Hickey?
The word "hickey" is actually a slang word that describes a bruise or abrasion created on the skin from suction applied to the surface area of the skin by the human mouth. Bite marks may also cause one. They may also be called a love bite, slag tag or a kiss mark. These marks often represents possession of one person by another, and quite often, it indicates that the recipient has been engaged in some sensual behavior. When one person applies a hickey to the neck, shoulder, arm or other area of another person's body, they are often attempting to convey to the world that they have possession over the person. Such markings also may represent sexual foreplay and sexual activity. Sometimes, they may be inadvertently caused in the heat of passion. However, in most cases, creating such a mark requires deliberate action on the part of the giver.
A hickey is really just a simple bruise on the surface of the skin that is created by sucking on the skin. The negative force of the sucking action creates a mark in the shape of the mouth. Bruises may be purplish, pink or blue in appearance, depending on how the recipient's skin reacts to bruising. The shape of the bruise will depend on the shape of the mouth of the person who created the mark. The intensity of the color is the result of the amount of negative pressure put on the skin. The more suction that is applied, the deeper the color of the mark. The deeper the color of the mark, the longer the healing time, in most cases. Hickeys may swell on and around the bruised area, causing a puffy appearance. Over time, they fade to a brown or tan color, and then eventually disappear.
Additional Facts About Hickeys
A few additional interesting facts:
- Hickeys will be more prominent and will last longer on women than on men. This is because women tend to bruise more easily than men. Also, marks on the thighs, buttocks and upper arms will tend to last longer on women than on men.
- They will last longer and heal more slowly when on older people than on those individuals who are younger. Older individuals' skin is thinner, exhibits less elasticity, and is less flexible than the skin of their younger counterparts. The subcutaneous tissue in older people tends to hold less fat than those who are younger. These factors combine, which allows blood vessels to burst more easily, and marks to last longer on those who are more advanced in years.
- Most will completely heal and disappear from view within two or three weeks. However, some skin types and certain medical issues may cause the effects of bruising to last longer on some individuals.
- Marks located in the upper portion of the body tend to heal more quickly than those on the lower body or lower extremities.
Strategies to Hide Marks
Covering Them
Treating a hickey is similar to treating a simple bruise. There are several methods for treating the affected area on and around the mark. However, many people choose to simply hide it until the area heals.
A turtleneck, a scarf or another strategically placed piece of clothing can be effective measures to cover marks. Sometimes, a shirt, blouse or jacket with the collar turned upward will hide the affected area. However, during summer and when engaging in certain activities, clothing may not be an appropriate or desirable way to cover. For example, wearing a turtleneck in the summer will surely arouse suspicion and make observers wonder what the wearer is attempting to hide. Luckily, there are less obvious strategies.
Make-up that is specially formulated to cover scars and skin lesions can be exceptionally effective. Brands of cover creams, concealers and foundations, such as "Dermablend," will cover while the recipient waits for the area to heal. Dermablend and other such cover make-up is a bit pricey, but if coverage is important, the price is well worth it.
Stage make-up, otherwise known as theater make-up, that is the color closest to the natural color of the skin surrounding the affected area, is also an option for covering marks. Stage make-up tends to be dense and provides effective coverage for blemishes and bruises. Stage make-up tends to be fairly costly. However, again if the recipient absolutely needs to cover the area, the make-up is worth the cost and is very effective for covering unwanted marks and spots.
Make Sure You Use The Correct Complimentary Color
Certain brands and types of concealer may cover more effectively than others. For example, some concealers with a greenish tint are available. These greenish concealers are effective for covering the redness of hickeys. If the bruise is more purple or blue in color, use a concealer with a yellowish tint. Tinted concealers are very effective in covering the redness or purplish/bluish skin color. However, just like other forms of make-up, concealers wear off, rub off and disappear over the course of a day. If you use concealer or other make-up to cover the mark, make sure you have the concealer or other make-up with you throughout the day to reapply as needed.
When using a foundation as cover, select a shade lighter than you would use for your face if the mark is located on the neck. Skin on the neck is usually a lighter color and tone than facial skin as skin on the neck is somewhat shielded from the sun.
Other cover creams, cover sticks, concealers and foundations, such as those purchased at department stores or drug stores, may temporarily cover effectively in dim light at night. However, professional cover make-up is usually more effective and lasts longer than standard foundations and cover creams or concealer sticks.
Certain powders may be used as well. Mineral powder will lessen the appearance of reddish or purplish bruising. Powders combined with foundation, concealer or cover cream will camouflage the mark for a time. The moisture of the foundation or concealer provides a base and the powder will adhere better to the skin. However, the coverage of powders do not last for long. For a short-term solution, though, powders applied over a base of foundation or concealer will cover the mark from sight. Use loose powder and apply the powder with a powder brush for best results.
Depending on where it is located on the body, a band-aid may be used to cover the mark. Covering with a band-aid is particularly convenient for men, as they may use the excuse that they cut themselves while shaving.
While covering is only a temporary way to deal with visible marks, if coverage is only needed for a short duration around certain people then it may not be hard to conceal or cover the mark until it has healed. However, some people desire to remove them as quickly as possible. Certain topical treatments, as well as vitamins and other methods, are commonly used to hasten the healing of bruises.
Ineffective Remedies for Hickey Removal
Due to easy access to the Internet & old wife's tails many ineffective remedies have circulated. These methods are simply misinformation, and they do not work to enhance healing or to remove the mark in any way.
Deodorant or Anti-Perspirant
One rumor that has circulated the Internet is that applying deodorant or antiperspirant, and leaving the application on overnight, will make the mark disappear. This is simply not true. There is no evidence that any of the chemicals or natural substances in deodorants or antiperspirants lessen healing time for bruises. This method certainly will not hide or remove the mark.
Another rumor is that applying toothpaste to the affected area will make the mark disappear. Again, there is no substance in toothpaste that decreases swelling, shrinks capillaries, or dissipates blood under the skin. Though mint-flavored toothpastes may make the skin feel like medicine has been applied, toothpaste does nothing to treat a bruise.
Comb Treatments
Some people advise "combing" over the affected area using a standard comb for the hair. The logic behind this ineffective method is that the comb will force the blood out of the interstitial area and back under the dermis. This method is not effective and may even make the affected area more raw and irritated.
Sunburning the Hickey
Some people believe that staying in the sun long enough to cause a sunburn is a treatment for a hickey. Not only is this treatment ineffective, sunburns contribute to the development of skin cancers. Avoid getting a sunburn, and certainly to not attempt to get a sunburn on purpose. Always wear sunscreen when out in the sun.
For most people, marks are more of an annoyance than a health threat or risk. The best way to avoid dealing with the removal, coverage or treatment is to not allow anyone to apply one in the first place. Let your partner know bruises are unwanted and you will not accept the application of marks of any kind on your body.
The second method: Brush your hickey
Well, it is a strange method, but many people swear that it works. Take a toothbrush or a hairbrush and tenderly rub your hickey and an area surrounding it. Do not rub aggressively, as you will only make a hickey larger. Rub it for five minutes and then wait 15 minutes. Redness and a swallow will become larger, but in additional 15 minutes they will disappear.
Then you have to apply a cooling compress, as it has been described above. You can repeat a procedure if you need. Depending on the size of your hickey this technique can help you or make a spot little wider. As you understand, the trick is to make blood flow faster in the hickey to remove excessive blood from tissue.
Warning: It is necessary to use a clean brush; otherwise it is a risk to get an infection.
The third method: A lucky coin
Maybe, this way to get rid of hickeys is the most painful and the strangest. You have to stretch your skin affected by hickey. Then take a coin and begin to rub your skin with its ridge. Imagine that your skin is a toast and you have to spear some butter on it with a coin. Do not press on your skin too heavily, as you can cause another bleeding; however, you have to make is strong enough.

Somebody affirms that this method helps to remove blood from capillaries. The rubbing will cause redness, but it will disappear faster, than a hickey. Anyway, if you need to explain, it is easier to explain redness than a hickey.
Warning: try to clean a coin as better as possible; do not be aggressive, as you can cut your skin.
The sixth method: Cosmetics to cover a hickey
A very effective way to cover your hickey is to use specialized cosmetics with tint properties:
- Toners;
- Creams;
- Powders;
- BB creams;
- Masking pencils;
- Eyeshades.
For example, you can find a special toner with green tint developed to mask redness.
Here are the steps to follow if you want to mask your hickey as a professional:
- Take a small brush;
- Apply some yellow consealer with the brush to an inner part of a hickey;
- Apply green toner to an external part of a hickey;
- They you have to apply some liquid powder to a hickey to remove an impression that you are trying to hide something.
Warning: Use only approved cosmetics. We advise you to follow all prescriptions and check yourself for a probable allergy for the components. Do not use too much cosmetics, as you can stop up your pores and have further problems.
The seventh method: Clothes or hair
It is another effective way to cover your hickey. Wear high collars, scarves, shirts or blouses. You can also make some experiments with jewelry to attract everybody to other parts of your body.
However, there are some tips that you should follow:
- Wear clothes that will attract an attention to other parts of your body, but not to a hickey;
- Do not wear anything interesting on your neck;
- It is obvious that if you wear a sweater, for example, in July, you will be too attractive.
Warning: try to get clothes that let your skin breathe.
The tenth method: Fresh potatoes
Potato is a great vegetable that has a famous curing property. It is used to get rid of different problems, including hickeys.
Here is a recipe:
- Cut some rounds from potato;
- Apply one potato round to a hickey;
- Keep it for 20 minutes;
- Then change a potato round for another;
- If you want, you can massage a hickey;
- Repeat the whole procedure for an hour every day.
Warning: use only fresh and ripe potatoes. Green potatoes contain poison, and rot ones can contain dangerous germs.
The eleventh method: Aloe
If you grow an aloe in your place, you are a lucky person. Cut some aloe leaves and brew it with vodka for some hours.
After infusion is ready, moisten some pieces of cloth with it and make a compress. Keep the compress on your hickey for maximum 10 minutes.
Warning: Be 100% sure that you have an aloe, but not something else. If you are not sure about a plant, do not use it for curing and ask a professional for help. Do not use any plant for curing that are not mentioned here.
The thirteenth method: Cabbage leafs
Simple cabbage is a very popular vegetable among alternative medicine fans. It is considered as a great remover of effects of bruises and injuries. Just apply a cabbage leaf to your hickey and wait for an hour. You can repeat the procedure if it is needed.
Warning: If you are not sure that you are going to use cabbage, do not perform this method. Carefully clean leafs from any dirt before applying it to your skin.
The sixteenth method: Garlic and onion mixture
These vegetables are known in alternative medicine. They can remove swelling and redness and cure your hickey at all.
Here is the recipe of a hickey curing compress:
- Take equal amounts of garlic, onion and salt.
- You cave to chop or powder the ingredients to get a homogeneous after mixing them. It is better to use blender.
- Then take a piece of cloth and put a paste on it.
- Apply this compress to your hickey. Don't forget to put a cloth between a compress and skin in order to avoid burns.
If you do not have blender or one of the ingredients, you can just apply some cut onion or garlic to your skin for a short time as an alternative to the method.
Warning: Garlic and onion can harm your skin because of different substances they contain. It is dangerous to apply a compress for more than 10 minutes. Otherwise there is a risk to get a serious burn. Do not repeat this method more than once a day.
The seventeenth method: Anti-bruise medicines
This method is very good, as nowadays you can find any kind of medicine you need. Some anti-trauma creams can help you with hickeys. Usually they have to be applied to the skin two or three times a day.
They can remove pain (for the cases of extreme hickeys), swelling and redness. However, even this method cannot guarantee you a very fast effect, so, maybe, you will need to mix it with other methods of hiding your hickeys.
Warning: Please read all the prescriptions to the medicines. Check yourself for a probable allergy to components. Use only approved and certified kinds of medicines.
The eighteenth method: Solarium or sunbath
It is a good method of hiding a hickey. Your skin's color will become equal everywhere. However, going to solarium can be an expensive way, and going to the beach for sunbathes can reveal your hickey to everyone. So we advise you to do it alone, if you do not want to answer unpleasant questions.
Warning: Solarium and sunbaths are strongly prohibited to those people who are suffering from different skin problems. If you are not sure if you have a skin disorder, please contact your doctor before taking sunbaths and going to solarium.
The twentieth method: Eat strawberries
Strawberries contain lots of salicylic acid. This acid has a strong blood fluidifying effect, so it can remove excessive blood from an area of a hickey.
Warning: Be sure that you do not have allergy to strawberries. Anyway, do not eat more that 1 kilo of strawberries in two days, as you can get a negative reaction of your organism.
That's how you can hide or cure your hickey. The methods are very different and they are of different nature. Some of them are proven by years and humans' experience, others have a scientific proves. Anyway, if you cannot get rid of your hickey, you can try to alternate the methods or mix them with each other.
However, the top one method to get rid of a hickey is not to get it. Yes, we understand, that situations may differ, but you can always warn your beloved person that you do not want such proves of his or her love.
At worst, when you are caught with a hickey and asked a question about it and you do not want to tell the truth, you can explain a hickey as it is a bruise: you were hit or injured by something.

Lakshmi K Tummala
As Shankar Jaikishan fans, we have all heard and read a lot about their knowledge and talent in music, their name and fame, their fundraising for great causes, from all sources available. But, very seldom do we hear about their inner character that defines the great human beings they were.
Many South Indian movie makers had the utmost admiration and respect for SJ who composed for their movies with huge success. Every one of them commended upon their professionalism and work ethics. Once SJ signed a contract, the producer could be rest assured that the work will get done on time and will meet with expectations beyond his imagination.
It is true that they commanded a very high remuneration for their work, but they never demanded it. It was the producer, who was desperate to have them sign for him, that hiked their fee. With SJ in his project, it was a breeze for the producer to have the lead actor and actress get on board. The high fee received for their work was shared generously with their musicians. There were times when a producer would sign SJ with a deposit and, later, meet with financial difficulties. Being very considerate of the situation, SJ would still complete their work and wait patiently to be paid whenever the producer was able to.
In a span of 38 years, from Barsaat to Gori, Shankar Jaikishan scored music for 185 movies. They worked with 67 lyricists, 46 male singers and 45 female singers. Throughout their career, SJ introduced several musicians, singers and lyricists to the music industry. It was through their encouragement that their assistant, Dattaram, turned into a full-fledged composer. With their hands full, they had also encouraged producers to sign Kalyanji-Anandji and R.D. Burman for their movies.
The composer duo maintained a great camaraderie with their peers and always had a good word for their work. Many a time, SJ would call up a fellow composer to congratulate on his/her work which you seldom see in the industry. Even after Jaikishan's demise, when things were going against him, Shankar never uttered a word against the "defectors" and "backstabbers."
The above mentioned virtues of Shankar Jaikishan are what made them superior to their peers, not only in their work but also in their character. Their policy was to, "Live and Let Live." They will always be remembered for their benevolence.

Guwahati (Assam) [India], Nov 18 (ANI): Chinmoy Choudhury resigned as Advocate General of the Assam government and stated that there was "outside interference" in his functioning, where he was not allowed to work with "full dignity."
"The present government in the state appointed me as the Advocate General and I took charge of the post on July 1, 2016. Subsequently I found there was lots of interference from outside sources. I was not allowed to maintain the dignity of my office or discharge my duties comfortably," Chinmoy Choudhury, who resigned as the Advocate General of Assam government on Thursday told ANI.
Choudhury further said, when he suggested that a panel of advocates should be made, it was considered, but was never put to action.
"When I suggested that the system prevailing at that time must be abolished and a panel should be made with large number of advocates who will carry out work of the government and also look after all the cases irrespective of departments, it was never put to action," he said.
"On many occasions, suggestions came from outside, that so and so should be allowed to handle this case. I realised it was time for me to quit and in order to give full honor to the chair I was holding and myself too," Choudhury added. (ANI)

Among people in the study, 42% had vitamin D insufficiency.
Researchers studying the preventive effects of vitamin D on cancer have proposed a new model of cancer development that hinges on a loss of cancer cells' ability to stick together. The model, nicknamed DINOMIT, differs from the older model of cancer development, which proposes genetic mutations as the first driving forces behind cancer.
"The first event in cancer is loss of communication among cells due to, among other things, low vitamin D and calcium levels," said epidemiologist Cedric Garland. "This loss may play a key role in cancer by disrupting the communication between cells that is essential to healthy cell turnover, allowing more aggressive cancer cells to take over."
Garland suggests that such cellular disruption could account for the earliest stages of many cancers. Previous theories linking vitamin D to certain cancers have been tested and established in more than 200 epidemiological studies.
Each letter in DINOMIT stands for a different stage of cancer development – disjunction, initiation, natural selection, overgrowth of cells, metastasis, involution, and transition.
Garland suggests that much of the evolutionary process in cancer could be arrested at the outset by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels.
One recent large-scale, randomized, placebo-controlled study on vitamin D and cancer showed that vitamin D can cut overall cancer risk by as much as 60 percent! This was such groundbreaking news, the Canadian Cancer Society has actually begun endorsing the vitamin as a cancer-prevention therapy.
Similar results were shown in another study investigating vitamin D's impact on breast cancer. It discovered that light-skinned women who had high amounts of long-term sun exposure had half the risk of developing advanced breast cancer (cancer that spreads beyond your breast) as women with lower amounts of regular sun exposure.
Vitamin D levels can slash your risk of cancer by as much as 60 percent. Keeping your levels optimized can help prevent at least 16 different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, ovarian, prostate, and skin cancers.

A four season tent is for the environment like winter. Campers who love to go on a mountain trip in winter time, their best choice is the four season tent.
Why this tent? Well, this tent has less mesh, considerable rain-flies and canopies, strong pole structure and many strong features that make winter camping an exciting one.
But it is tricky to pick 4 season family tent. Don't worry this guide on how to choose the best four season tent will help you to pick the perfect tent for your camping.
In a tent these three basic elements have to be there, they are:
You have to know what features make the tent best. The must-have features that a four season tent needs to have are:
Tent pitch is important. Campers have to choose the system. Everyone has their own thoughts about the system. Because some may find the system perfect and others worst.
So before getting it, you have to know about the system perfectly. Because either way you choose the pitch a tent, you have your own way to store, carry and pitching.
If you are new in this system, then for your information there is two types of system – inner pitching Geodesic and outer pitching tunnel. Let's have a little information about these two:
There different poles with size and shape. Today's stylish tents have carbon fiber, metal and glass fiber made poles. But don't go for glass fiber poles because they are not strong and durable.
The carbon fiber pole is strong and lightweight but not reasonable in price. So metal made pole is the best option to choose.
Flysheet works as a weather protector in the tent. Though the material is not fully waterproof nylon is the material that will give you the utmost support. The nylon made flysheet is strong, flexible, and lightweight and provides the best weather protection.
The weather protection mainly works for the coating of the flysheet. The thickness of the coating makes the material durable and waterproof. But the thicker the material comes, the price becomes high.
To hold down the tent, you need a strong peg. You have to compromise between holding power, weight, and strength while selecting pegs.
Some pegs come in delicate design as they can be bend and some needs to set up with hammer and rock. This totally depends on the ground condition of the campground.
Groundsheet of a 4-season tent needs to be durable and waterproof. Nylon made groundsheet is the best fabric is the best groundsheet material. It is strong, durable and light in weight.
The size of the tent determines the number of the peoples. Don't get a big size tent for fewer people and a small tent for many people. Balance the number and size.
The full tent depends on all parts, not on one only. So many parts are weak then your camping will go wrong. So you have to check all the parts of the tent before taking it to the campsite. So you have to ensure the durability of every tent parts.
Mesh is important for ventilation, but lots of mesh will make the tent environment warm. Make sure to have strong nylon panel that will reduce airflow. Keep the tent door open to control the coolness of the tent environment.
Camping in winter needs lots of stuff and clothes than summertime camping, In case of family camping you may need other things, as a result you will need a big tent to have enough space for storage.
So more space needs more side panels. So after considering all points, a four season tent is the best tent for winter camping.
Now I think you have a full understanding of the need for four season tent. If you are planning to have wintertime, then you have to take a four-season tent. I think it will be easy for you to pick the best one as you know how to choose the best four season tent.
Happy Camping!

7 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Pet Boarding Facility
Published on January 24, 2019 by
Our pets are members of our families, and we want to ensure that they always have the best possible care. Pet parents occasionally face situations in which they must travel and aren't able to take their pets along. A boarding facility allows pet owners to keep their pet in good hands when they go on vacation.
Finding a Trusted Boarding Facility
It can be stressful for pet owners when they must entrust their pet to someone they don't know. A question a lot of pet owners have when they're planning a trip is which pet boarding facility in their area will provide their pet with compassionate care while they're away.
Leaving pets at a boarding facility can be difficult, especially if your dog or cat has never been separated from you. Searching for the boarding facility that best suits your needs can be a dilemma. You want to be sure to make the right decision. If your veterinarian has a boarding facility at their animal hospital, the choice can be easy. You and your pet are familiar with the staff, and you're more comfortable about leaving your dog or cat in the care of people you know.
Boarding Facilities and Veterinary Clinics
If boarding at your veterinary clinic isn't an option, it can take some time to find a place to board your pet that has an excellent reputation and great reviews from clients. You'll be able to relax on your trip when you know your cat or dog is in the care of a responsible staff that loves animals. Your veterinarian or one of the technicians at the animal hospital may be able to make recommendations about the best facility for your pet while you're away. Here are some questions you'll want answers to before you choose the facility to board your pet.
Question #1 – What Is A Pet Boarding Facility?
A kennel that boards pets may be in an animal hospital or a separate facility that offers services to pet parents and their pets by veterinarians and kennels that board dog and cats. The pet boarding facilities allow owners to drop off their cats or dogs for a specific period. The pet boarding facilities charge fees depending on the length of time for which your pet will be boarded. The staff at the boarding facility is responsible for ensuring that each pet is cared for with love and compassion and kept happy during their stay.
Question #2 – What Services Are Available?
The services offered by a kennel or boarding facility can be diverse, depending on the facility's size and hours of operation. Some of the pet boarding facilities are in animal hospitals or clinics, where pets are kept in kennels and dogs have time for exercise and play in dog runs.
Some facilities offer long-term boarding for owners who will be away for extended trips and can't take their pets with them. Although there have been facilities for pet owners to board their dogs and cats for decades, pet parents wanted more comfortable accommodations with more amenities for their pets when they had to board them. Veterinarians and pet care facilities responded to the needs of owners.
Veterinarian hospitals that offer boarding for dogs and cats with medical problems include administering medications as needed. Boarding kennels provide regular food and water schedules, enclosed runs so dogs can get daily exercise, and overnight monitoring. However, some facilities offer pets luxury accommodations and personalized services.
Another question many people have is whether boarding facilities for pets offer transportation service. You should check before making plans for boarding, but many kennels, veterinary clinics that offer boarding, and other facilities will arrange to pick up pets to suit the owner's schedule. Most facilities provide this service seven days a week.
Question #3 – What Types of Facilities Are Available?
The relationships between dog and cat owners and their pets are changing as the number of people worldwide include pets in their families. Most owners want their pets boarded at a location that's the equivalent of daycare for pets, rather than a kennel where they're housed in enclosures most of the time. Many of the daycare facilities are more comparable to a hotel than a kennel, with expansive grounds and staff who are enthusiastic and love caring for pets.
Daycare facilities for pets are becoming the norm, especially in major cities. Many pet care centers have locations in downtown neighborhoods. Some companies have seen the benefit to offer pet care so owners can bring their dogs to work with them. Besides providing care for pets while owners are at work, some companies offer behavioral training for puppies and dogs that may have separation anxiety or get overly excited.
When a dog owner is considering moving into a new condo or high-rise, one question they have is whether pets are welcome. A lot of property owners are more receptive to pets living in their buildings and offer daycare facilities for pets on their property. Many of the new condo complexes have dog parks.
Question #4 – What Should Owners Expect When They Drop Off Their Pets?
One question that dog owners may have when their boarding their dog for the first time is "what should I bring with my dog?" When your dog is being boarded, it's not the time to experiment with a new brand of food. Dogs may initially be upset over staying with people they don't know and might not eat. It takes a little time for some dogs to settle in. Other dogs may be curious about their new surroundings and settle in easily.
Owners should bring their dog's favorite toys, and a favorite blanket for comfort. Whether you're dropping your dog off at a daycare for the first time or boarding for an extended stay, make sure you're calm, so your dog doesn't sense this stress.
Question #5 – How Do the Staff Treat the Pets?
A lot of owners think boarding facilities for pets are dreary, with metal kennels where the dogs sit all day. Some people think at-home sitters are the best option, but your pets are still alone for hours on end. The staff who run retreats feel that they deserve a vacation with a lot of personal attention.
One of the best things about a vacation retreat for pets is that the caregivers love animals and pamper them as if they were their own. These facilities have relationships with veterinarians who are prepared to handle any medical problems that arise while pets are in the care of the day care or retreat.
One of the best reasons to leave pets in the care of professional caregivers is that they get plenty of time for play, exercise, and a lot of social interaction with other pets. The top-notch facilities have both indoor and outdoor play areas for pets. They can be outdoors when the weather is pleasant, the facilities are air-conditioned and heated for the comfort of pets, no matter what the weather conditions are.
Luxury facilities offer special services for pets including spa treatments and grooming services. Many of the spa-style facilities even provide private suites for pets so they can relax in comfort whenever it's naptime.
Question #6 – What Are the Responsibilities of The Boarding Facility?
A lot of people plan their vacations around where they can travel with their pets. Dog parents who feel this way have good intentions, but sometimes it can be more stressful for them and their pets. Your travel plans may not always be pet-friendly, so it is good to have boarding options.
Pets deserve to be pampered and get a lot of personalized attention when their owners are away. You want to be sure that they are safe, comfortable, and cared for. Here's what to look for in a responsibly run facility that boards pets.
The building should smell fresh, as well look clean and neat. Visitors may not be allowed in areas where pets are currently staying. Don't be afraid to ask any question you feel is essential. For example, do they have indoor and outdoor runs? Where are the areas for pets to exercise and play? Facilities should be clean of dirt and pet's feces. Strict cleaning measures should be in place.
Pets bond with their owners and often get upset by their absence. It's essential that facilities fence in pets with sturdy dividers on runs. Gates should not be easily opened by pets, and there should be barriers for jumping pets. Cats should not be allowed in outside areas that aren't enclosed.
Health Care
Pets should always have access to clean water to drink and regular feeding schedules. Most facilities request that owners bring their own food to prevent digestive issues due to dietary changes. Facilities should have access to veterinary care in the event of an emergency. Some facilities have a vet on the premises during business hours. Pets should all be up-to-date on shots. Facilities should be able to give pets regular medications that they require.
Pet Supervision
Pet owners know that they can develop sickness unexpectedly. The staff should recognize unusual symptoms or tell if pets in their care isn't feeling well.
Pet's Safety
Facilities should have sturdy dividers between pet's enclosures. No strong chemicals should be used for cleaning, and there shouldn't be anything dangerous or sharp that could injure pets.
Comfort Level
Pet's comfort should be the top priority. Facilities should be adequately heated or air-conditioned, depending on the season. Outdoor play areas should have enough protection from the elements, including shelter from sun, rain, snow, and wind. The lighting should be enough to see during the day and at night, but not be too bright. Low light is more relaxing for animals. The air should circulate properly but not cause drafts that could make pets cold. Bedding for pets should always be raised from the floor, so they don't get cold.
Is It Professional?
Facilities should have an agreement that outlines the responsibilities of the staff and the owner's rights. The team should be clean and neat and have an evident love for pets.
Question #7 – How Much It Should Cost to Board A Pet
The prices may vary, depending on whether it's a basic facility, which may run between $10 and $30 daily. A high-end resort or retreat for pets may cost $45 to $65 per day.

For everything Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Royal Wedding in one convenient place, visit our Royal Wedding hub.
The photographer who took Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's official wedding photographs has shared how he got the couple's 10 page boys and bridesmaids to sit still in front of the camera.
The trick? Smarties.
Yep, even royal children need a little bribing when it comes to getting their photo taken…
Alexi Lubomirski, who is a Polish prince and the protege of one of Princess Diana's favourite photographers Mario Testino, said he used the chocolates after hearing they were a favourite among the young wedding party.
Speaking today to Daily Mail, he said: "As we were setting up the big family shots, and I was placing The Duke of Edinburgh and Her Majesty onto their chairs, I could hear the kids started crying in the background and there was some chaos.
"And then I heard this magic word behind me that was Smarties, which is obviously an English Candy, much like M&Ms, and they were being bribed with one smartie here and one smartie there, so as soon as the kids came onto the set, I immediately just shouted out 'Who likes Smarties?', and then everybody hands up, smiles, even some of the adults I think put their hands up, and so that was our magic word of the day, so thank you Smarties."
Lubomirski said the opportunity to photograph the Queen at Windsor Castle was "one to knock off the bucket list."
Although Lubomirski had limited time to shoot the family, he did manage to do some rearranging to compensate for Meghan's father Thomas Markle who did not attend.
Meghan's mother Doria Ragland stood in the spot usually occupied by the father of the bride and Prince William also stepped in to fill in the gap.

The Heart of America Flyfishers had an outing at Roaring River trout park in southwest Missouri. I caught trout and liked it, but that's expected, it's a trout park. I also caught some really neat fish out of the same water. I think my fellow trout anglers where suspicious of my roughfish enthusiasm but too bad, I got two new life listers out of the trip.
The white sucker was in a big pool with lots of stocked trout. I dropped my smallest midge into a group and one sucked it up.
The chub was in a section of big water with many other species. I didn't know they were there till it was on the hook.
I caught three stonerollers in a rapids while also catching trout on a small bead head nymph. You know you are really fishing when you don't know what you've caught till you get home and look it up.
