All inclusive holidays are great, we aim to do one a year. It's simple, everything including flights, transfers, accomadtion, food, drinks, entertainment are all organised for you. You could do it without speanding any extra money than the package you paid for.
But a week of sunbathing, eating and drinking can get a little tedises when you're only in your mid 20s surrounded by mostly retired couples and families. So we like to add activities and sight seeing to our list.
Croatia has so much to offer but can be restricting if you're not backpacking it so picking a good location is key. We've chosen Cavtat as it's quite but transport are easily accessible. We can explore Cavtat old town, very small and cute by foot and enjoy the beautiful coastline.
Dubrovnik is a 45mins boat journey costing 100kn working out to just over £10 for a return. Cheaper option is the bus, 50kn for a return. Not much difference in duration of the journey, which is around 50mins to an hour. We've chosen the boat ride as we wanted to see the view of the coastline.
The boat drops you off right on the harbour outside of the city walls. Transport to and from runs regularly so once you've had enough, the wait back is never long.
Dubrovnik has a lot to offer, history and culture tours including a very popular games of thrones tour. You can take a tour around the city's wall or get a cable car up above the city. The main square is buzzing with restaurants, cafes and shops.
But the lovely thing is that there are many stair ways off the square, taking you up to hidden cafes and on one side beach access.
My recommendation is doing the city wall. As you're higher up and can see the whole city from slightly above. The walk can be challenging in the heat as it does take up to 2hours. Longer if you're constantly stoping for photographs and rest. There are a couple of restaurants and cafes along the way but thats a more expensive option. So make sure you have plenty of water with you and enough sun screen on. Snacks would also be a good idea however we did the walk after making sure we were fed and energised. Another thing to point out is that you go to the toilet before! There were no more than a couple along the way unless you're buying something from one of the restaurants.
The walk really is beautiful and the views are incredible.
After the walk, I would recommend taking a much needed rest. And what better way to do so than by having a splash in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
We headed out towards the harbour and walked around the outside of the wall where we came across a rock spot perfect for sunbathing and access to the water. When looking at a map of the city, these spots are referred to as a 'beach', it's really just a sea access. These spot offend include showers which is always a bonus!
So remember to pack your swimwear and a towel! Because trust me, you'll want the swim at some point during your day of exploring in the heat. The crystal clear water is always so inviting.
The day was finished with an ice-cream and boat ride back to our hotel where we could enjoy dinner and watch the sunset.
I haven't gone into as much detail of this day trip as I would have liked, it's a very brief recommendation. So feel free if anyone reading has any questions or would like more details.

BURBANK, California - Laval University won the Heroes of the Dorm championship Saturday with a 3-0 victory against Buffalo at Blizzard Arena in Burbank, California.
Laval's players earned the equivalent of full-ride scholarships to their schools as the prize for their win. After the confetti rained down and team captain Jérôme "Earth" Levesque got a few minutes with his family - who brought a Canadian flag to the stage floor -- the players got to bask in being the first team from Canada to win a Heroes of the Dorm title.
In fact, no Canadian team had qualified for the Heroic Four prior to Laval making the semifinals.
"It was an incredible experience to just be here and represent Canada and have all these people cheering for us," Laval player Patrick "Wouka" Langlois said. "I think we made them proud."
Buffalo got to Saturday's final with an upset win over the event's presumed favorite going into the tournament, UC Irvine, in the quarterfinals. The No. 8 seed went on to beat No. 5 Cal Poly Pomona in a 3-2 thriller that was the highlight of Saturday's action.
But No. 2 Laval, which had practiced against pro talent in the Heroes Global Championship Open division, proved to be too much for Buffalo. The first Canadian team to make the Heroic Four managed to sweep No. 3 Kentucky, which was back in the semifinals for the second straight year, and then set its sights on Buffalo.
"You can kind of copy and just take what is good from what they do into Dorm," Earth said of his team's matches against HGC opponents. "It really helped us because not every Dorm team can have this kind of practice."
Though Buffalo hung with Laval early in Game 1, solid laning from Earth and surgical execution in a 3-for-0 teamfight gave Laval all the advantage it needed to get an early series lead.
"Actually, the first game was really tough," despite Laval not surrendering a kill, Earth said. "It kind of surprised us. But eventually, the game passed. In Game 3, we were really confident."
Laval's style of play had a lot to do with what it learned by playing in the HGC Open as Rouge et Au, a moniker Laval kept for its Heroes of the Dorm team name. The team regularly scrimmaged against pro-level opponents - and, team members made clear, got the better of some of those teams often after some early struggles in Open qualifying.
"We've had a lot of high moments but also a lot of bad moments to get to this moment," Laval player Bruce "Nesdip" Jouve said. "When we met, we played two weeks of scrims, and it was really painful to lose nearly all of them. But we managed it."
And the reward for that patience: A big check and a championship celebration that, admittedly, began a bit early.
"Only one guy was like, 'Hit the Core! Hit the Core!'" Earth said. "Everyone else was cheering."

One of the easiest ways for me to break out of a mood slump is to remember to enjoy the simple pleasures/blessings in life.
Here is a top ten list for today:
Hot Coffee - Do you know how hard it is to drink a cup of hot coffee these days? It seems that every time I pour myself a cup, someone or something needs my attention and the darn thing turns lukewarm or cold by the time I actually get to drink it.
Warm Sunlight through my Living Room Window - Cold windy days of winter and the lack of vitamin D make the pleasure of sunlight all that more tantalizing. I love laying out on the couch and just soaking it in.
My Kids Smiles - Nothing melts the heart more than seeing Alex and Gideon smile. Because of Gideon's vision issues, it took him much longer to learn how to smile and seeing them makes it that much more special. Alex will try and make you smile like it's some kind of game. He is such a Ham.
Kisses from my Husband - Again, these leave me breathless and heart melted. Do I need to say more?
The Smell of the Wood Stove - I grew up with a wood stove in the house and the smell is just so nostalgic. It reminds me of my great grandmother and waking up early to visit her when I was just a little older than Alex. It floats me back to a time of ease, when life was so full of wonder and awe.
Showers - Nothing relaxes tense stressed out muscles like a hot shower. I'm sure I'd be a hunchback curled up in an unmovable cannonball position if it wasn't for my therapeutic showers. Great for the pool... but not so much for daily living.
Knitting in the Evening- The click clack of my needles and the repetitive motion mixed with the need to pay attention to changes in the pattern and the anticipation of completion make this activity both relaxing and rewarding.
Fresh Cut Flowers - There is something about having fresh flowers in your house that just makes you smile; maybe even more so in the winter. The smells, the colours, the arrangements; it's pure happiness.
Listening to Music - Recently I pulled out some of the old CDs I listened to when I was in university. Again, these tunes bring back a simple pleasure, full of nostalgia that makes me sing out loud in the car. Yes... I'm the one you all watch and laugh at while sitting in traffic.
Reading - Taking time to read things that do not rhyme, involve plots without curious little monkeys and have more words than pictures helps my brain solidify from the jelly-mold ramblings of children's literature. Yes they can be fun. Yes they can be entertaining. No they are not the only thing I want to be reading.
What simple pleasures are making you happy these days?

Vietnam plans to allow foreigners to own apartments, but not houses, in the country, starting from early next year, AFP reported quoting the government's statement posted on its official website Friday.
The national assembly approved the project on a five-year trial basis for certain foreign individuals and organisations in a vote on Thursday.
Foreigners eligible will include those married to Vietnamese citizens, those with direct investments or special skills needed by the country, and those who have made contributions acknowledged by the president or prime minister.
They will be allowed to own the flat or condominium for a maximum of 50 years and must then either sell or donate it, the online report said.
The official Vietnam News Agency said about 21,000 out of the 80,000 foreigners now working and living in Vietnam will pass the criteria to buy and own property, quoting Ministry of Construction figures.
The VNA report said it was estimated about 10,000 foreigners may buy apartments with a total area of 1.5 million square metres after the resolution takes effect at the start of 2009.

Google rarely disappoints when it comes to creating a custom version of their logo for special days, and the Google doodle for Valentine's Day is no exception.
A young boy uses the search engine trying to find that special something to impress a little girl. I really thought she's go for that dinosaur sweatshirt, but she returns to her skipping unimpressed.
The animation was co-created by Michael "Lippy" Lipman with Google designer Willie Real, and features Tony Bennett's 1951 recording of Hank Williams' 'Cold Cold Heart', a number one hit on Billboard.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone 🙂

Month: March 2014
Naumi Hotel says…..
A much needed break… before term 2 starts. Or at least just an excuse for me to do nothing. Ahhh such bliss! I've never really understood the importance of a "staycation" till JC started. I mean it's only term 1?! and the amount of work i'm receiving… is fucking crazy. However, i really do enjoy the challenges I'm facing regardless of how inadequate I feel compared to my classmates. Well, I'm counting my blessings to be even given a spot in CJC! So pats on my back for that.
My mum surprised me with a 3D2N stay at any hotel of my choice, but obviously within a manageable price range! The only reason why I picked Naumi is due to the awesome pool. Besides that, everything else is pretty small. The hotel has a very quaint touch to it, with personalized decorative almost everywhere in the hotel. A common print is carried throughout the hotel. They made an effort to have art everywhere in hotel, which i really appreciated :')
The sunbathing adventure began with Joy, Lorraine and Moky as the initial guest followed by Vans the next day. She now sits opposite me, staring blankly into space and whining about missing Marcus. Most hours were spent either disintegrating into the ratan lounge chairs or the lush queen sized bed. Everything really is more fun with awesome friends by ur side, as cliche as it sounds.
I dont want it to end
My Skincare Routine
My everyday skin care routine:
Products I use everyday- Face Shop Rice Water Bright cleansing foam/ Shu Uemura cleansing oil
The fantastic thing about the Shu Uemura cleansing oil is that it also acts as an make up remover. Ur face needs not to be wet went applying the oil. It's really gentle on the skin as well. I've pretty normal skin so I dont recommend it for people with oily/sensitive skin.
This is followed by Face Shop Chai Seed moisturizer
There's an oil free version as well.
I always apply sunblock before leaving the house keeping my skin super fair. All that brightening/whitening nonsense u see on the market is pure money making bullshit, sunblock is the only thing that will keep ur skin fair and radiant. I use Clarins SPF 40 UV High protection. Another tip is to use a tinted sunscreen/ BB cream with UV protection as a foundation. It would servec a double purpose and help formulate the habit of applying sunscreen.
However, I exfoliate my skin fortnightly with Dermalogica daily microfoliant. It feels like white grains of sand against your skin, so it's nothing too rough. It leaves my skin brighter and smoother, removing debris and dead skin accumulated during the span of two weeks.
I drink SMT complexion me tea to detox my skin whenever it feels dull or just tired in general, applying any type of mask helps as well! I use most Face Shop packeted masks as well as the O2 hydration mask which is from Face Shop as well. i keep to this regime quite regularly, consider it my "me" time.

Gianni Versace loved the theatrical, the operatic and the cinematic. He was inspired by prostitutes, Medusa, the Italian baroque, Grecian motifs, Andy Warhol, bondage and spent hours visiting museums.
This early Versace lurex bodysuit with an asymmetric hem wrap skirt was certainly inspired by Commedia dell'arte and the harlequin. But of course the Versace harlequin is a sexed up version and glamorous in a shimmering lavender lurex.
Just how amazing is this?!

Updated after the jump with more background about how police contacted the man. First posted at 9:05 p.m. Wednesday
A man a neighbor said had bragged about killing Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen fatally shot himself as authorities descended on his residence in a Hollywood residential hotel Wednesday night, authorities said. Late Thursday he was identified as 43-year-old Harold Mark Smith.
Friday morning there was speculation that he was not a suspect but rather a possibly deranged man. A neighbor told Fox 11 News, "To me he was a little slow in the head."
Former neighbor Terri Gilpin told reporters at the scene on Santa Monica Boulevard near Wilton Place that the dead man had "bragged all the time that he was the one who killed the publicist, and he was always talking about how he was going to get paid $10,000 for it.''
View Larger Map
Fox 11 News reported that the someone tipped off the Fox show America's Most Wanted about the subject because he had been bragging about having killed Chasen. That tip apparently inspired authorities to stake the man out.
The Los Angeles Times had described the man as a "suspect." Beverly Hills police had gone to the scene to serve a search warrant and might have been staking the building out in plain clothes when the subject approached and, seeing the cops, put a rifle to his head and pulled the trigger about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
LAPD Robbery-Homicide Capt. Kevin McClure told reporters at the scene that Beverly Hills cops came to the residence at the Harvey Apartments building (5640 Santa Monica Blvd.).
"The person they were looking for showed up," he said. "They attempted to talk to the suspect. The suspect produced a handgun and it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound."
The man had yet to be identified.
Fox 11 News' Tony Valdez reported that the cops showed up in plain clothes and that the confrontation apparently happened in a hallway or lobby of the building, which is on a seedy stretch of the boulevard known for its transvestites.
Meanwhile KTLA News' Cher Calvin and Associated Press spent some time with former sheriff's homicide star Gil Carillo, a retired detective who helped solve the 1980s "Night Stalker" case.
He told reporters that whoever killed Chasen as she drove down Whittier Drive in a tony part of Beverly Hills near the Los Angeles Country Club after midnight Nov. 16 was not only a pro but could be a marksman.
Carillo said she was appeared to have been shot in the chest and shoulder as her car was moving, something your average criminal probably would have had a hard time pulling off.
Chasen was known for handling Oscar Award campaigns for major movies and was headed home to Westwood following a screening that night.
The man at the apartment building was described as an ex-con who had been evicted.
A coroner's official told the Weekly they know who the man is but could not release his name based on two factors: 1 - His next of kin had yet to be notified of his death. 2 - Regardless, the Beverly Hills Police Department put a hold on the release of the man's identity. A coroner's document states, "No information to be released - ongoing investigation," we were told.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reports that the man's suicide was captures on security video and that police were taking a look.
Beverly Hills police told Associated Press the man, described by the service as being in his 40s, was a "person of interest" and not a suspect.
On Thursday the LAPD issued a statement saying the department had video of the man's suicide and that it also took possession of his gun, which it stated would undergo ballistic testing -- ostensibly to see if there's a match with the weapon used in Chasen's murder.
The LAPD:
RHD [Robbery-Homicide Division] is in possession of video from inside the lobby of the Harvey apartment building, taken the night of the suicide. Detectives have reviewed the video and are confirming that this incident is a suicide due to a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head by the victim. The weapon used, which was a handgun, has been recovered by RHD and is pending ballistic testing.
Update: Beverly Hills police on Friday confirmed that a tip to America's Most Wanted sent them to Harvey Apartments.

Apparently, Smith killed himself as soon as undercover officers arrived.
Lt. Tony Lee stated that, "At this time, it is unknown if this individual was involved in the Chasen homicide."
That leaves some ominous clouds over the case. If Smith wasn't their man, and the BHPD sent out the cavalry to find him based on a tip because he had been bragging, perhaps fantastically, about his role in the Chasen slaying, then it would appear investigators were reaching for straws and don't have much to go on in the case.

Immigrants are remaking America. In many urban and rural areas, the arrival of immigrants from Latin America has transformed whole communities. Much like new Americans of yesteryear, our modern-day crop of immigrants have contributed greatly to our nation's economy, culture and overall well-being. Yet this transformation has been difficult. Anti-immigrant rhetoric and legislation in the United States has surged tremendously over the past decade. And the failure of Congress to enact meaningful, comprehensive immigration reform has clouded the future of immigrant families, forcing them to live apart, or fearful of deportation.
Hispanic Federation has worked relentlessly to protect and advance immigrant rights since its inception. Our early efforts focused on local advocacy and collaborations with member agencies to develop citizenship campaigns, civics and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Today, Hispanic Federation has expanded its focus to become a national provider of immigrant integration and other direct services and a national advocate for progressive immigration reforms.
Our work serves the community through:
Direct Immigration Services
Liberty Defense Project (LDP)
More than 800,000 immigrants are eligible to naturalize in New York State, but have yet to do so. They are faced with a myriad of challenges from lack of finances, inability to speak English, or they do not know what the process requires. Hispanic Federation recognizes the dire need to support the immigrant community in completing this final step towards U.S. citizenship. Through the Liberty Defense Project, we have launched a citizenship campaign to inform the community about the importance of naturalizing, the benefits that come with becoming a U.S. citizen, and how to start the process.
Hispanic Immigrant Integration Project (HIIP)
A groundbreaking partnership between Hispanic Federation and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Hispanic Immigrant Integration Project (HIIP) helps to facilitate the integration of Latino immigrants into their communities in the following states: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.
HIIP provides thousands of immigrants with key services including English as a Second Language and civics classes, citizenship application assistance, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, application assistance and family-based petition assistance to help them more fully integrate in American society. This initiative is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Walmart Foundation.
Office for New Americans (ONA)
As part of its ongoing commitment to support immigrants in New York, Hispanic Federation is a Neighborhood Based Opportunity Center under New York State's Office for New Americans (ONA). Through this initiative HF provides New Yorkers with access to English language training and other services they need to readily participate in civic and economic life.
HF's Neighborhood Based Opportunity Center is a consortium comprised of HF and three member organizations, Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights, Dominican Women's Development Center and Community Association of Progressive Dominicans. The Consortium provides participants with citizenship help and consultations, ESL classes, business seminars and access to job opportunities.
Adult Basic Education (ABE)
Learning to speak English is often a major obstacle to immigrant integration. Unfortunately, for many immigrants, access to English-language classes and adult education opportunities is limited. The Adult Basic Literacy and Education program helps Hispanic Federation member agencies expand or launch Adult Basic Education (ABE), English of Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and/or GED programs. Member agencies funded through this initiative are located in New York City, Long Island and Upstate New York.
DACA Scholarships
Announced by President Obama in 2012, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, provides qualifying immigrants - also known as "DREAMers" - protection from deportation and work permits for at least two years. Yet the fee for DACA, which is nearly $500 dollars, prevents many of our DREAMers from applying for these benefits. And that's where the Hispanic Federation comes in. Over the past three years, HF has been working with its network of immigrant service providers to identify and help offer deserving DREAMers with scholarships to cover the DACA application fee. To date, hundreds of our undocumented youth have received HF's DACA scholarships. And we're committed to help uplift many more DREAMers through this program.
Due to limited funding available, HF is only able to support youth identified as eligible by its network of immigrant service providers.

Immigration Advocacy
National Immigration Reform Efforts
The Hispanic Federation collaborates with national organizations like the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Labor Council on Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) and the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA) to fight for comprehensive immigration reform. Under the co-leadership of the Hispanic Federation, groups meet with Congressional members, produce policy position letters, caucus with Administration officials, and produce and present recommendations on immigrant executive action to the White House.
State/Local Immigration Reform Efforts
HF is a leader on key immigration issues currently confronting localities and states across the country. In New York, for instance, HF worked alongside the de Blasio Administration in NYC to make municipal IDs for undocumented immigrants a reality under the IDNYC program, and continues efforts to raise public awareness of the IDNYC and its benefits. HF is also working with the We Are Florida coalition to eliminate a five year wait for immigrant children to get state health insurance, and oppose other anti-immigrant measures in Florida.

Cultivating capital: Urban agriculture, eco-habitus, and the valorization of social reproduction
Despite the fundamental linkages between urban consumers and rural producers, recent theorizations of "planetary urbanization" have yet to figure explicitly in agrarian political economy. Similarly, agri-food scholarship has contributed little in the way of theorizing urban change despite growing interest in – and legibility of – urban food production. In this paper, I suggest that critical agri-food studies and critical urbanism might be mutually generative by honing in on social production and how it is transformed into capital and scaled up from the household to the urban. Drawing on urban political economy, feminist political economic theorizations of social reproduction, and Bourdieu's "species of capital", I interpret the results of a mixed-methods study of residential urban agriculture in Portland, Oregon to demonstrate how urban agriculture undergirds an "urban sustainability fix" and processes of eco-gentrification while resisting the logic of capitalist accumulation. The capitalist valorization of urban agriculture – i.e., the commodity moment itself – is spatially dependent according to the logics of uneven capitalist development and related emergence of an eco-habitus, while also contingent on urban policy and politics.
The first session runs 8:30 to 10, and my session starts at 10:30 and runs til noon, in SFU Harbour Centre, room 2270, 515 W. Hastings, Vancouver, BC.

As we mentioned in prior articles, through final stage of the menstrual cycle, ordinarily a layer of endometriosis lining inside the inside of the uterus is expelled, frequently generally known as menstruation blood but alternatively lots of of your endometriosis tissues create someplace inside the physique causing endometriosis. Endometriosis also reacts to hormone signals of your monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue, breaking it and eliminating it through menstrual period. In this article, we will discuss symptoms of endometriosis. There are many caused by endometriosis symptoms.
Severe period pain
It normally happens with over-production of prostaglandins and leukotrient causing the cervix to contract resulting in no escape for the menstrual period.
Tough to get pregnant
When the cyst is presented inside the ovary, it might respond to hormone adjustments in the menstrual cycle causing the cysts to acquire substantial every month blocking the typical function of ovaries resulting in infertility
Discomfort during sex
If endometrosis happens in the area that is surely stimulated throughout sex it might lead to excessive discomfort which involve uterosacral ligament and cervic area.
Discomfort elevate to ward the finish of period
Endometrosis positioned someplace besides inside the uterus rupturing all through menstruation. For the reason that the blood can not escape, it retents in our physique causing harm for the organs or any element from the body hosting the endometriosis resulting in serious pain toward the end in the period.
Constipation is brought on by endometrial implants or adhesion attaching to the organ of excretion. It makes it incredibly painful to urinate and defecate.
Premenstrual symptoms
Premenstrual symptom is defined to have menstrual cramps prior to and inside the course of menstrual cycle. Inside the occasion the discomfort is further intense than ahead of than it could possibly be triggered by endometrial implants or adhesion to further sensitive regions.
Heavy period
Heavy period is either triggered by menorrhagia or endometriosis. Any girls who has beneath no situations encounter heavy period ahead of, the sudden adjust of heavy period is often brought on by the rupturing with all the endometrial lining embedded around the inner wall inside the uterus.
Irritable bowel syndrome
Ladies with endometriosis inside the bowel location generally have abdominal and bowel symptoms, specially all through the menstrual cycle. Bowel symptoms may be attributed to irritable bowel symptoms or brought on by intestinal involvement from endometriosis.
Discomfort in a single side of pelvic
Discomfort on a single side together with the pelvic inside the course of menstrual cycle could possibly be triggered by endometrial implants or adhesion to that side of the pelvic.
Females with endometriosis may perhaps possibly know-how breathlessness brought on by heavy blood flow that depletes the storage of iron as well as other necessary substances, resulting in a great deal much less oxygen and nutrition vital to re-nourish the body's cells for the reason that the heart has to execute tougher to pump blood. Intake of meals with wealthy sources of iron for instance spinach and broccoli for the duration of menstrual cycle is mentioned to assist, reduce, or get rid of this symptom.
Endometrial implants or adhesion on the liver caused by malfunction from the liver as it no longer secretes enough bile to the intestine as a result of high levels of poor cholesterol in the blood stream. As this issue progresses, cholesterol builds up on the arterial wall causing the heart to over-work, resulting in heart palpitations. Intake of flax seed oil is said to restore balance of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and decrease cholesterol as well as helping restore the normal function in the liver.
Giddiness and confusion
Giddiness is defined to possess a reeling, lightheaded sensation, or dizziness. Girls with endometriosis may well effectively know-how dizziness resulting from insufficiency of oxygen levels inside the blood stream that come about to become important for brain cells. Devoid of sufficient oxygen to nourish its cells, the brain can not function causing confusion in the very same time as giddiness. Also, it triggered by endometriosis that attach for the lung which interferes with lung function to absorb oxygen.
Larger blood stress is normally linked with heart disease. In case of girls with endometriosis, it is triggered by abnormal function of the liver which has been broken by endometrial implants or adhesion. The damaged liver now can not produce adequate bile to assist the digestive technique to have rid of terrible cholesterol from our body resulting in cholesterol constructing up as well as higher blood stress.
Hope this facts and details will help. Really should you want more facts or advices, please treatment for endometriosis.

This page lists published research papers found in medical journals that meet the criteria of being a case study, group study, comparative, and/or meta analysis. A link to the full text of each paper is provided.
A summary column is provided indicating whether the paper provides a positive or negative outcome.
Papers that reasonable outline a clinical benefit for Kinesio tape are marked , while those that don't have a mark.
EF=experimental design. B=blinded. C=Case Study. CR=Comparative Research. R=randomised. PC=placebo-controlled. SYR=Systematic Review. TS=Time Series. CT=crossover trial. MA=meta-analysis.
It is concluded that KT application immediately before squat exercise has no effect on muscle pain and short sprint performance but maintains muscle flexibility at two days of recovery.
Taping of the knee resulted in reduced hip and knee mobility. The application of Leukotape reduced knee ROM more and should be considered when choosing a type of tape. Taping affected knee strength but there was not a consistent difference between the types of tape used.
Kinesiotaping enhances balance and jump performance except for increasing knee strength in ACLR subjects at 6th months after surgery when they normally return to their sport. Although, knee brace increases quadriceps strength, it has adverse effect on functional performance . Therefore, Kinesiotaping can be applied for those patients when they start their sport specific training to enhance functional performance.
Although different types of taping were investigated, the results of this systematic review did not show any firm support for their effectiveness.
Application of taping to the paralyzed parts of a stroke patient has a positive effect on improvement of typical asymmetric gait and walking speed.
Our data suggest that Kinesio tape decreases muscle activity in the ankle during a drop jump maneuver, although no changes in ground reaction forces were observed. This is contrary to the proposed mechanisms of Kinesio tape. Further research might investigate how this effects participants with a history of injury.
The results suggest that application of KT® on peroneus and triceps surae does not have a direct effect on impact accelerations and plantar pressure pattern of healthy individuals during walking.
The study concluded that both Mulligan's Mobilization and Kinesio Taping techniques significantly shown short term effect on improvement of pain and functional disability for subjects with osteoarthritis of knee. However, there is no statistically significant difference in short term improvements between Mulligan's Mobilization and Kinesio Taping. Among both, Mulligan's Mobilization technique found clinically more effective with greater percentage of improvement than Kinesio Taping technique.
The taping has shown to be effective in controlling sialorrhea during its use period, not being observed the permanence of the results after interruption of its application.
Our results show that the application of KTT decreases the variability of rhythmic movements by a 2-fold effect: on the one hand KTT provides extra proprioceptive information activating cutaneous mechanoreceptors, on the other KTT biases toward the emergent timing thus modulating the processes for rhythmic movements. Therefore, KTT appears able to render movements less audio dependent by relieving, at least partially, the central structures from time control and making available more resources for an augmented performance.
This study has shown that the application of Kinesio tape did not improve knee proprioception in a group of healthy young women. However, it also has demonstrated that Kinesio tape provided significant proprioceptive enhancement at the knee joint after uphill walking in healthy women with poor proprioceptive ability. This may support its use in sports medicine for preventing knee injuries.
Maitland mobilization with Kinesiotaping
In comparison of the two groups, the wrist extension motion was greater and more consistent in DQ group than that in NT group (p value is 0.0043). However, although the movements of wrist radial-ulnar deviation in DQ group demonstrated smaller than those in NT group, there was no statistical difference. In conclusion, the Kinesio tape group shows the better motion performance than the NT group.
The results demonstrated that MT significantly reduced peak posterior knee shear forces (P = 0.025) and peak posterior (P = 0.005), medial (P = 0.022) and lateral (P = 0.014) hip shear forces compared with NT when landing in first position. KT had no effect on knee or hip forces. No significant differences existed between taping conditions in all landing positions for the esthetic measures. MT was able to reduce knee and the hip forces without affecting the esthetic performance of ballet jumps, which may have implications for preventing and managing knee injuries in ballet dancers.
In conclusion, both taping techniques had an effect on scapular kinematics and pain in movements occurring in the sagittal plane. Elastic taping also affected scapular kinematics in scapular plane movements, but without the concomitant decrease in pain.
Taping the extensor region of forearm is recommended to achieve higher grip strength. Although grip strength increased at a slower pace in females than males, the final values were higher in women.
In normal speed gait, it is suggested that the knee angle was altered such that it exhibited a normal pattern by applying elastic tape to the anterior surface of the thigh. We suspect that application of the elastic tape may change the muscle tonus.
Femoral rotational taping could alter patellofemoral kinematics and decrease pain in treatment of young female participants with PFPS.
While the application of Kinesio tapes may have some therapeutic benefits, the usage of these tapes does not promote strength gains in healthy adults.
There was no difference in hip or knee, kinematics or kinetics, between KT and NT (P=1.000). MT appears to influence hip and knee biomechanics during running in an asymptomatic sample, whereas KT appeared to be biomechanically not different from NT.
These results suggest that quadriceps fatigue increases the repositioning error of the knee joint, whereas application of kinesiology tape decreases fatigue-induced joint repositioning error.
Repeated kinesiology taping of the wrist muscles and joint could be an effective method for recovery from occupational wrist disorders experienced by physical therapists.
Kinesio taping increased range of motion and agility during exercise in university students. Additional research on Kinesio taping for improving range of motion and agility is needed.
Application of KT using a functional correctional technique at the ankle did not inhibit task performance. Improvements were observed in the rate of force development, but the mechanism of improvement is unclear. If injury prevention is enhanced, with no detriment to performance, then KT could be advocated for athletic performance.
These findings suggest that the application of KT has no influence on the jumping performance in healthy, non-injured female elite athletes. We do not recommend the use of KT for the purpose of improving jump performance.
Patellar kinesio taping provided an immediate and statistically significant improvement in pain and single-leg hop function in patients with PFPS when compared with a sham application. However, improvement in STJT scores did not surpass the minimally detectable change value, and therefore, the clinical effectiveness of KT for improving single-leg hop function was not established in the current study.
The results showed that compared with the taping technique, balance training increases postural stability in the majority of the studied balance situations.
The combined results of this meta-analysis indicate that kinesiology tape may have limited potential to reduce pain in individuals with musculoskeletal injury; however, depending on the conditions, the reduction in pain may not be clinically meaningful. Kinesiology tape application did not reduce specific pain measures related to musculoskeletal injury above and beyond other modalities compared in the context of included articles. We suggest that kinesiology tape may be used in conjunction with or in place of more traditional therapies, and further research that employs controlled measures compared with kinesiology tape is needed to evaluate efficacy.
The results of this preliminary study suggests that PPTT may temporarily decrease anterior pelvic tilt and active straight leg raising score in women with sacroiliac joint pain who habitually wear high-heeled shoes.
Whereas former studies failed to report conclusive performance-enhancing effects, the results of the present study revealed a task-dependent performance-enhancing effect and an application-specific performance-influencing effect concerning vertical ground reaction force measurements.It is concluded that the application of elastic tape for healthy, active dancers may on the one hand enhance parameters of postural control, whereas the same elastic tape application may hamper other performance related aspects of typical modern and/or classical ballet dance routines.
There were found seven research articles that observe the criteria of this study's aim. Four of those research articles were devoted to the motion of the lumbar spinal segment, the other two discussed the motion of the cervical spinal segment and one of them concentrated on the lumbar lordosis. None of those research articles included any information on negative effect of this method. The effect of KT on assessed parameters is barely noticeable. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research in respect of the effect of the Kinesiology Taping method on the spinal motion and physiological spinal curvatures.
Elastic therapeutic tape may play a role in reducing short-term neck and upper extremity pain, however future high quality studies that contribute to the evidence base for its use are needed.
The test results showed a minimal difference between the two groups from the point of view of pain, discomfort and range of motion in the cervical region; the patients benefiting from kinesio taping recorded a more rapid reduction of pain.
Our report results demonstrated kinesio taping increased knee flexion ROM apply on hamstring muscle strain, thus a positive effect on muscle activation.
In this instance, the use of Kinesio tape in conjunction with FEIBA and prednisolone appeared to assist with the management of the patient's bleed, reducing swelling and pain and facilitating the patient's return to normal function. It is possible that Kinesio tape combined with factor replacement therapy may play a role in the management of musculoskeletal bleeds in haemophilia and other bleeding disorders, resulting in reduced length of treatment due to faster recovery, facilitating earlier discharge and potentially resulting in cost savings.
This review provides the most updated evidence on the effectiveness of the Kinesio Taping for musculoskeletal conditions. The current evidence does not support the use of this intervention in these clinical populations.
Pain relief provided by Kinesio taping was similar or slightly superior to other interventions, not representing a reason for it to be the main treatment of choice. However, it can be considered an adjunct or complementary technique.
KT after OMF surgery is a promising, simple, less traumatic, economical approach free from systemic adverse reaction upgrading patients� quality of life.
This author describes a technique that utilizes a combination of an orthosis and kinesiotape, thereby creating a treatment protocol that shortens the immobilization phase for these patients.
The result of this study suggests that functional and mechanical correction have the significant effect on functional performance of futsaland football athletes with CAI , the ligament-tendon correction has not significant effect.
While Kinesio® Tape had no effect on shoulder/upper back isometric strength, abduction, flexion or extension, KNT did appear to have an effect on motion through the horizontal plane. However, the present sample size appears to have been inadequate to detect specific differences between KNT and both PLC and CON for both horizontal adduction and horizontal abduction.
These results suggest that KT decreases the rate of medial loading in MTSS patients. Future research might assess mechanisms by which this effect is achieved.
Applying KT on calves seems to reduce muscle pain produced by the competition among duathletes with no apparent musculoskeletal disorder. Kinesio tape (KT) application, however, does not affect the calf extensibility immediately and after a duathlon competition.
A significant increase of peak force in the gastrocnemius group appeared immediately and two days later; no immediate change of peak force in the hamstrings group, however, two days later, peak force significantly increased. SLR and ankle dorsiflexion increased immediately in the gastrocnemius group; KEA improved significantly only after two days. It is possible that certain muscles react differently when KT is applied, and the effect may be subsequently detected.
During the measurement of oedema it was noted that KT had a significant effect on the reduction of lymphedema and accelerates healing effects compared to standard methods.

You only work towards your goals when you feel like it.
You waste way too much time doing things that don't lead you to where you want to go.
Your action plan is chaotic and unclear because it's not in alignment with your core values.
It can be tough at times when you're working towards your goals. There is no getting around the highs and lows of success. You can, however, make it easier on yourself if you are certain of what and why you want what you want. You can do this by getting honest with yourself – what do you really want and what behaviour is preventing you from moving forward?
The road to your ultimate destination will be curvy, not straight and once you accept that and embrace the many lessons you'll learn along the way you can confidently move forward.
You have to prioritize your time.
You have to be true to yourself.
You have to commit to your results.
If you're ready to get the results you want in life or in business – I've got your solution.

Question: How does the Disney Teacher of the Year deal with the stress of test scores?
Question: "You also write that teachers need to stop stressing about test scores. Is that really a practical suggestion in light of the current implementation of the Common Core State Standards?"
Answer: "What I mean is that teachers should avoid mention of them as much as they can. At our school we just focus on teaching. No one mentions test scores here—that's a strict rule. We want learning to be joyful at all times. We save the mandated tests until the last week of school. And we describe them to the students as a celebration of our learning. And do you know what? Our test scores are great!" Ron Clark.
Comment: A healthy approach to the stress of test scores. Just teach. The scores will take care of themselves. That's what I always did. I didn't care what tests were thrown at the students. If I taught well, the test scores would take care of themselves. I know that sounds simplistic. Students need to know how to take tests. That was always part of my curriculum anyway, especially when it came time for the SAT. RayS.

Seriously, that's the image they used on Twitter. The one of Mario peeping around your shower curtain, his bloodied glove dangling a gore-clotted screwdriver just out of frame.
"Itsa me," he whispers, putrid clumps of mushroom dribbling from his lips. "Your worsta nightmare."
Anyway, Nintendo is apparently prepping to drop a "preview trailer" of its new NX console tonight at 16:00 local time. Is it even a console? You never know with Nintendo. Previous reports have claimed it's some sort of cartridge-based tablet… thing, but maybe it's a rubber band you wear around your ankle that uses intermittent electromagnetic pulses to generate vivid, ultra-realistic prefrontal cortex hallucinations. Not even PlayStation VR could compete with that. Unless it explodes, obviously.

Being perfected and growing to maturity are two closely related aspects of our Christian life. When we become mature and are perfected, we match New Jerusalem.
In 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 Paul expresses concern about the Corinthians remaining "infants in Christ." He desired that they grow. Likewise, Hebrews 5:12 expresses concern (sadness?) that the believers were spiritually young children. Then 6:1 urges, "let us be brought on to maturity." Let us grow until we match New Jerusalem.
Likewise, the desire in Ephesians 4:14-15 is that "we may be no longer little children" but that "we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ." We grow up into Christ. This implies that we grow out of our self, out of our culture, and out of everything natural. We grow out of the old creation to match New Jerusalem in the new creation.
In Colossians 1:27 Christ is in us as our hope of glory, our hope of participating in the glory of New Jerusalem. In 1:28 Paul tells us that his announcing of the indwelling Christ has the goal to "present every man full-grown in Christ." Sooner or later every believer will be full grown in Christ and will share in New Jerusalem.
This growth is not anything outward. Spiritual growth is not measured by physical years as a Christian, not measured by quantity of activities, not measured by knowledge or eloquence. Rather, as members of the Body of Christ, we "grow with the growth of God" (Col. 2:19).
God, in Himself, is perfect; He does not grow. But in us God needs more room, more flexibility, to grow, to spread, especially in our thinking, our emotions, and our decisions. Lord, increase in these aspects of my being!

Oscar hopeful Beasts of the Southern Wild and Artifact, actor Jared Leto's documentary — he's credited as Bartholomew Cubbins — about his band 30 Seconds to Mars, are among the five films that have made it to the final round of IFP's Gotham Independent Film Audience Award contest. Beasts, which was directed by Benh Zeitlin, turns out to be the only non-documentary nominated: The other three contenders include Kirby Dick's Invisible War, about rape in the military; Burn, Brenna Sanchez and Tom Putnam's documentary about Detroit firefighters, and Jonathan Kalafer's Once in a Lullaby: The PS 22 Chorus Story, which tells the story of how the fifth-grade chorus at a Staten Island public school came to perform at the 2011 Oscars.
The first round voting took place from October 18 - 31, during which 31 audience award-winning films from the top 50 US and Canadian film festivals were narrowed through online voting to the five films with the highest number of votes. Round two of voting will take place until Nov. 18, and the winner will be announced at the Gotham Awards in New York on Nov. 26. Filmgoers can vote online for their favorite film.

Bahia has four of the best golf courses in Brazil, located in hotels set in paradisiacal places of the state's littoral: Costa do Sauípe, Praia do Forte, Comandatuba and Trancoso. They are eighteen hole courses, of international standards.
Salvador's north shore became a golf touristic destination. In April 2007, the courses of the resorts Costa do Sauípe and Iberostar hosted the Golf Bahia Open; participants from all over Brazil and abroad played simultaneously in two courses, separated by 18 kilometers.
Golf Tourism is responsible for a significant travel demand to Comandatuba Island. Due to having its own airport with capacity for big planes, the Transamérica Hotel frequently receives groups in regular and charter flights. In the south of Bahia there's another golf course, the Club Med, in Trancoso, at the top of a cliff, with a splendid view of the ocean. The Terravista Resorts, 5 kilometers away from Trancoso, has a golf course of international standard and an airport.

La Fontelina - CapriGo to the top
One of the most exclusive beach clubs and restaurants in the whole of Italy, Capri's Fontelina is a magical place; a heavenly hideaway resting at the foot of the island's legendary Faraglioni. It is also a historical place, where the Roman emperors residing on Capri once came to bathe.
Although more than 50 years have passed since they first opened their small sea-edge eatery, the Arcucci and Gargiulo families continue to run the Fontelina with the very same passion and enthusiasm; serving the same delicious cuisine and offering customers the kind of heartfelt hospitality for which the islanders are known and loved.
If you're coming to Capri, don't miss the chance to lunch in the shadow of the Faraglioni... book your table at Fontelina as soon as you arrive! Sat on Fontelina's sea view terrace, you'll be able to enjoy all of the island's favorite dishes, prepared with the freshest of fish and seafood and accompanied by a glass of the restaurant's famous sangria.
The restaurant is open for lunch and it can be combined with a day by the sea. Fontelina's rocky beach is not suitable for young children.

La Fontelina: LocationBack to the top
The Fontelina restaurant is located on the tiny beach at the foot of the Faraglioni, in one of the most beautiful corners of the Island of Capri.
You can reach Fontelina by boat or on foot, using the steep, downhill path which starts just beneath the Punta Tragara viewing point. If you don't fancy making the uphill return journey, you can always take the restaurant's shuttle boat service to Marina Piccola instead.

As Folk
Original UK Series: Queer As Folk (1999 mini-series, plus follow-up special). Gay life in Manchester as seen by writer Russell T. Davies (The Grand) exploded onto British screens on Channel 4 with howls of protest about the content (including an underage boy being seduced by the studly lead). But critics eventually backed off as they got to know the characters.
American Remake: Showtime has taken the series and set it in Pittsburgh, with episodes beginning in December 2000.
Comments: They turned the Vince character's love of Doctor Whointo an obsession with comic book superheroes. The series last for five seasons on Showtime (even though Russell T. Davies disavowed it) and even created a spin-off of sorts for lesbians, The L Word.
Original UK Series: The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (1976-79). Leonard Rossiter starred as Reggie Perrin, a married man who decides to fake his own suicide and start over in this BBC comedy series.
American Remake: The late Richard Mulligan starred in a short-lived 1983 series.
Comments: The original is a classic, fondly remember in both countries. A sequel series (without the deceased Rossiter), The Legacy of Reginald Perrin in 1996, updated the characters.
Original UK Series: George and Mildred (1976-79). A spin-off of Man About The House, about a bickering married couple.
American Remake: The Ropers was a spin-off of Three's Company and ran for two seasons, 1979-80. It starred Norman Fell and Audra Lindley.
Comments: There's certainly a degree of synchronicity that both Man About The House and Three's Company (remakes of the same series) both spawned similar spin-offs.
and Son
Original UK Series: Steptoe and Son (1962-74). Junkmen Albert Steptoe (Wilfrid Brambell) and his long-suffering son Harold (Harry H. Corbett) was one of the longest-running comedies ever on the BBC, beginning in the black-and-white era right through the introduction of color.
American Remake: Sanford and Son was developed by Norman Lear (following his success with All In The Family) as a black vehicle for Redd Foxx. It ran on NBC for five highly-rated seasons 1972-77.
Comments: While not quite as successful as All In The Family, Lear's conceit of using down-and-out black characters living in the Watts area of Los Angeles was an inspired reworking of the Steptoe's working class origins. Nevertheless, the British original stands the test of time as one of the great British comedies.Shameless
By Your Man
Original UK Series: Birds of a Feather (1989-98). Pauline Quirk and Linda Robson played sisters married to convicted criminals both serving time.
American Remake: Ran on FOX in 1992.
Comments: The FOX audience didn't get it and it lasted less than a season.
Was The Week That Was
Original UK Series: BBC satirical series (1962-66) that was referred to as "TW3" with David Frost which became an instant Saturday night institution. Continued as Not So Much A Programme...More A Way Of Life in its final year.
American Remake: NBC picked up the format which ran from 1963-65. David Frost appeared, as well as Alan Alda, Henry Morgan, Buck Henry, and guests such as Woody Allen.
Comments: Not as influential as the British original, nevertheless it gave American audiences live topical humor each week.
A Crowd
Original UK Series: Robin's Nest (1977-81). In this sequel to Man About The House, a young couple buy a restaurant in London together despite the disapproval of the girl's father.
American Remake: Ran one season on ABC in 1984. John Ritter starred in his "Jack Tripper" role in this spin-off to Three's Company.
Comments: The US version (unlike the original) couldn't recapture the charm of its parent series.
Original UK Series: Man About The House (1973-76). A randy young man becomes roommates with two lovely girls, although under the watchful eye of his landlords.
American Remake: Three's Company (1977-84). One of the big success stories of remade series, which made big stars of John Ritter and Suzanne Somers, and two spin-offs Three's A Crowd and The Ropers.
Comments: Three's Company is no doubt the low-brow moment of 1970s television, but there is no denying its huge popularity at the time.

Yes, you can use the SJW by itself. Either one can be used alone. My sense is that the scullcap will work more with the itchies, but that may not be the case. Starting one at a time isn't bad either, then you can see the direct effect.
I tried all the grains with the dogs here - mine never tolerated any of them, and were always quite lean because of the meat and veggie diet. Only recently my boy has weight on him though.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'CF Archive Bin' started by URBCLONE, Aug 3, 2006.
Does anyone here remember a bar in Ames called the Fillmore? If so, where was this located?
I thought I knew all the bars in Ames. Must have been before my time or located way off in the weeds somewhere.
The Fillmore was a bar that had live rock bands in the early 80's. It later became the Mississippi Queen. It was in a large building West of Duff and North of Hwy 30, kind of behind where Old Chicago is now. It had a large stage and multi-level seating where 400 people could watch a band.
So you are talking about where Hickory Hall is currently (Hickory Park's Banquet Hall), or where Hunky Dory's (sp) used to be located.
Thanks, 83. This was a little before my time at ISU. Apparently U2 played at the Fillmore in 1981. Curious to see if anyone saw that show and could share their thoughts. This was obviously well before U2 became huge.
Sorry, I'm a little late in replying, but, yes, I'm told I was there, and also that they weren't real good at the show. Their "hit" at the time from their debut album was "I Will Follow", &, interestingly, I read that they have performed this song at every concert since. Also, I do remember seeing Billy Squire there later, I believe after the name was changed to Mississippi Queen. Here's the U2 setlist for the '81 show http://www.u2gigs.com/show258.html
What up, cuz?
A little late? I guess 11 years is not to late.
Was it related to the many other Fillmore music venues. Fillmore east, Fillmore Denver, etc? Maybe none of them are related, don't really know.
Good question. They did do franchising, or maybe that's why it became the Mississippi Queen. They sued their ass.

A lire sur: http://www.computerweekly.com/opinion/How-to-prepare-the-IT-workforce-for-cloud-and-mobility
John McGlinchey
John McGlinchey
Cloud and mobility have been ubiquitous subjects in the IT industry in recent years, with a spate of associated new jobs and increasing reliance on them to drive business. Despite this, an element of ambiguity in how best to utilise them in business remains.
"Mobility is so full of whitewater; we need standards around all aspects." – Google
Across the industry, companies have been struggling to cope with the moving of software data into the cloud and a proliferation of remote devices with varying degrees of access to this. They require assurances that IT staff are suitably qualified for these new challenges, but don't necessarily know what these staff should be expected to know.
With growing calls among major industry players for a set of supplier-neutral industry standards, the need for recognised certification was clear.
CompTIA – with a 20-plus year track record of developing IT certifications – worked closely with the IT industry to identify the key skills that staff responsible for cloud and mobility implementations must have.
Security issues, for example, were unanimously agreed to be the primary challenge. Many organisation struggle to find the right staff who understand the weight of specific security issues and cloud infrastructure needs on networks, what the impact is across the whole organisation, and how they can pre-empt these.
There was a major need for a set of specific security skills to address the ever-changing threat from cyber attacks. These included a requirement for staff to know how to set different data access settings for different staff groups.
IT businesses want staff to be capable of spotting vulnerabilities and threats long before they cause damage. Can their network administrators note unusual volumes of mobile device traffic going out over FTP to one particular unknown location and take appropriate action, for example? With no concrete staff credentials to fall back on, this is the kind of question businesses have not been able to answer with a resounding "yes".
Employees need a greater understanding not just of software compatibility across a network – remotely hosted or otherwise – but the full range of hardware in use too. Each device type has its own implications for security, and the administrator should know the best configuration to improve the security of data on each mobile device across the network.
CompTIA's industry analysis was not just related to specific job roles within organisations – we also picked up views of the whole cloud and mobility space and where businesses believe the industry is heading.
A strong consensus in the job market is that traditional knowledge and skills in networking and systems are migrating to include aspects of cloud and mobility. Being technically competent with a blend of skills is becoming a necessity, rather than a differentiator. Crucially, this means that the need to understand planning, implementing and managing cloud solutions will extend beyond just the core network administrator roles across the whole organisation.
Even the traditional IT professional needs to become cloud-savvy. The work environment is changing within these organisations, and the traditional networking or technical sales professional must learn new skills to support the overall objectives of the business.
Businesses are clearly struggling to find these skills. The rapid developments of areas such as the cloud and mobility have created uncertainty among established professionals. Even where the skills exist, businesses do not always know how to spot them, or even what to look for. This is why there has been an overwhelming call for an industry certification to validate skills in these new areas.

Noosa Market Report - February 2012
08 Mar 12
The Noosa market continued at a steady pace this month with consistent sales of well priced property.
Waterfront was the flavour of the month - in Noosa Waters there were 5 homes sold on the water, ranging in price from $1.2 Million to $2.7 Million.
On Noosa Sound, a home in Cooran Court sold at just under $2 Million, with contracts settling on a North facing home on Noosa Parade destined to be removed in the high $2 Million range, and a home in Wesley Court selling in the mid $2 Million range.
The usually buoyant lower end of the market up to $600,000 has been slow resulting in a build up of stock, plenty of choice offering good value.
The holiday investment market is still rumbling along, again if good value is offered, we sold a waterfront apartment in Culgoa Point in the $700,000 range.
An apartment in Little Cove Town Houses also sold in the $500,000 range.
We sold a beautiful beach house in Northern Sunshine in the low $2 Million range and several small beach houses in Peregian and Marcus beach in the $500,000 to $600,000 range.
This month we were awarded the Real Estate Institute of Queensland Medium Agency of the Year for 2012.
As a state wide award, we are delighted to be recognized at this level and wish to thank you, our valued clients, for your support over the years.
We are now automatically entered into the Australia wide awards late March in Darwin.
