You have made the decision to take the GED and get the certificate equivalent to a high school diploma. What is the next step? The next step and the most important one, of course, is preparation. Since the new GED tests came out, people are struggling more than before to pass it and earn the certificate because there is no chance of combining the scores from multiple attempts. This makes the test harder and more challenging, but it is certainly not impossible to ace it. All you need is good organization, time, dedication and strong will to pass it.
There are different GED exam requirements depending on the state you live in. Find out what are the requirements you need to meet for your country and double check the information you've found. Get all the information you can at the official GED website and online in general or ask someone who has already been through the GED locally and can help you. They can tell you where to find all the information needed and what to start with. It is important you do this step first, so you don't study something that is not needed, and vice versa. Being exact with the subjects that you have to study will be of great help: you will focus on what is important and make sure you nail it on the exam when you take it.
The second step is to know what you have to study. Search the internet and visit the official GED website and get informed about the test. What sections are there? How many different areas are there in every section? What are the types of questions, etc. Gather all the information you can and get to know what the GED test looks like. Find an example of the test online and check it out. There are many useful websites and comments on the internet so don't be lazy and read them through. We guarantee you it will be much easier getting prepared and again, later on when taking the exam to know exactly how it will look and the question types that you will see.
After you understand what you need to know and how the test is laid out, it's time to find the right study material. GED exams are quite common in the US, and you can find prep books in any library or bookshop, all you need to do is start the hunt and find the best ones. Check the official site and see what they recommend. Ask the librarian if he or she has any other manuals to help you out and take them too. It's important you find the right sources for studying with up to date information and correct answers.
If you are busy (like most of GED exam attendants are), it is crucial you find enough time for your GED preparations. You know how important this test is to you, so you should re-schedule your days and make enough time for studying. Divide the sections and study one section per day so you don't get confused or overwhelmed and mess up the information you're trying to memorize. Use all the time you can efficiently. There are amazing apps for your Smartphone you can download and take with you wherever you go. Check them out and use the time while traveling to work to revisit what you learned last night.
Make sure you have your study space at home, where you can sit in silence and study the various sections of the GED. Concentration is the No.1 thing when it comes to memorizing the material you're studying. Psychological studies show if you have poor concentration, you can study for hours, and you still won't remember much, so don't waste your precious time. Have enough time to prepare for studying, make sure you are alone or, at least, no one is disturbing you. Learn about studying tips, such as the dynamic of the studying (study 20-30 minutes and make a 10 minute break to rest your brain). Turn off your cell phone and other electronics that may disturb you during your studying. Let me repeat that – Turn*Off*Your*Phone!
Find all the help you can. Search the internet for GED classes near your location and start with the classes as soon as possible. GED prep classes will help you relieve the stress and make you feel more confident about the exam. You won't be studying at home all alone and stressing out how you won't make it. In the class, you will meet other people who are trying just like you, and you will meet a teacher or a professional instructor who will help you with your studying. The teacher will always be there to explain you anything you are not sure about and to give you extra information if you need any. Classes can be fun, and you will feel better after taking them, rather than studying on your own.
Use the internet as much as you can to help you with the GED exam. The online community of GED attendants is vast, and there are many online classes you can take in the comfort of your home. It is a great idea because you don't have to lose time on going to or from a class in your area and you can feel more comfortable at home than with unknown people around you.
If you learn better or feel more comfortable with someone one on on, you might want to consider this option. When hiring a private tutor, you are organizing your study schedule the way it suits you best plus you get a professional who will guide you through the material and be there to answer any question you have. You can't re-schedule a class just because you have to stay late working, nor you can ask them to re-schedule an online class. Find private tutors and invest in your studying and success, you won't regret it. Your tutor will motivate you and keep you going when you lose interest and concentration; he will be there just for you and you get the support and assistance needed in insure that you Ace the exam!
There are GED practice tests online that you can and should take. Whether you have a private GED tutor or are studying on your own, these practice tests will help. You will get familiar with the type of the questions, and you will see what your weak spots are. Doing tests online will also show you the final score once you finish, so you will see where you stand.
Since math is one of the most problematic areas, doing math GED practice tests is the best thing you can do if you want to be sure you won't panic when the real GED comes. Preparing for the GED math test is much easier when you see the real questions rather than just studying and solving problems. A math GED practice test will show you how it will look on the real exam, and you will feel more comfortable once you start doing the real math GED exam.
When enrolling in any GED prep classes or with GED tutors, don't have a negative attitude from the very beginning. It is important you stay positive because you will have more will power and concentration while studying. Don't look at the GED exam as something scary and impossible to pass. Look at it as a way to widen your knowledge and secure a better future for yourself. Approach it with a positive attitude and be excited about all the new information you will get to know! GED prep classes are there to help you study better and learn everything that has to be learned, but they are also there to decrease the pressure you feel and the fear you have. Enjoy the process of learning and don't think you can't make it, because anyone who does GED prep classes with dedication can ace the exam, just like you will!


Personality: Keeps to herself, probably just because she's used to being alone in the Artemis cabin. But she's friendly with everyone even if she doesn't make many friends. And she's always one prepared for battle, having her knife and bow on her at all times. Sometimes, she may prefer the company of animals rather than other demigods.
History: Althaia grew up at Camp Half-Blood because a satyr brought her here when she was very young. It's the only place she's ever called home. Once she got older, it was explained to her that she was living in a camp for demigods and that Artemis was her mother. After that, she moved into cabin eight and became the head counselor for the Artemis cabin, being the only child of the goddess of the hunt.

Event Partner(s): This event is organized in cooperation with the Netherlands Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macao and Urban Discovery Hong Kong.
To Preserve or to Demolish?
Heritage preservation is a much-debated topic in Hong Kong. Increasingly people are realizing that it is important to keep heritage alive for a vibrant and viable urban future. In Amsterdam, a city traditionally associated with a rich cultural heritage, adaptive re-use of historic buildings is a key method in the regeneration of older neighborhoods. The Amsterdam approach is a deliberate partnership between public and private parties and embraces not just monumental buildings but also abandoned warehouses, industrial heritage and even churches.
This interactive lecture will showcase selected adaptive re-use projects to highlight the successes and challenges involved. Using specific examples it will also elaborate on the tools and instruments used and how these could be applicable to the Hong Kong context.
According to a recent book by Daniel A. Bell and Avner de-Shalit, cities often have an unmistakeable 'spirit' or identity. For example, we associate Paris with romance, New York with ambition, and Hong Kong with money. However, by showing pictures from across Asia, Ms. van Steekelenburg demonstrated that cities in this part of the world are increasingly bland look-alikes, with little regard for their special characteristics and heritage. In the future, more and more people will live in cities. If these cities cannot differentiate themselves in spirit and appearance, they would have no comparative advantage. In this context, heritage has an important function. It serves to maintain collective memory and establish cultural identity, keeps history alive and creates attractive places with unmistakable characteristics.
World War II bombing badly damaged Amsterdam. In its aftermath, living conditions were poor. The situation in Rotterdam was even worse as it was almost completely destroyed. The city therefore decided to build a completely new city centre in the modernist style, with a complete separation of housing and work functions. The plan seemed initially successful.
Amsterdam also intended to follow this route of building an entirely new city. There was a plan by the chief police commissioner of Amsterdam to fill in the city's canals because they had lost their original function as transport arteries. They were to be replaced by broad streets, motorways and car parks, as indeed happened in some cases. The City Council finally rejected a corresponding master plan for the whole city with a majority of just one vote. If not for this single vote, Amsterdam's famous Grachten would not exist today. Since the late 1950s, popular protest then developed on an unprecedented scale against further demolition of the city's older neighbourhoods and buildings – and especially against the imposition of comprehensively 'modern' urban planning models by municipal authorities.
The conservation of Amsterdam's heritage, however, can ultimately be attributed to the action of the city's business elite. In 1956 already, a group of leading business people founded the Amsterdam City Restoration Company, not least because they wanted to save an atmospheric cityscape where traditionally their own headquarters had been based. To preserve this lively environment, it was above all necessary to maintain the residential function of the inner city. The company started as a non-profit enterprise with an initial capital of 1 million guilders (equivalent of EUR 500,000 today). The money was used to acquire, renovate and reconfigure properties and re-lease them to the original inner-city residents. Since then, over 600 mostly residential properties have been renovated, with a current market value of EUR 160 million. The housing units created have had 100% occupancy rate throughout.
The original Amsterdam model is therefore based on PPPP (People-Public-Private-Partnership), with the involvement of the municipality and currently 2,000 private shareholders. The business sector responded to guidelines set by the city – which in turn followed wishes of the Amsterdam electorate. In 2000, the Restoration Company merged with the Amsterdam Monuments Fund and increased its portfolio by acquiring also non-residential buildings like former churches, shipyards and industrial sites. This type of property then was transformed into urban space with a mixture of private and public usage functions, serving as an anchor for revitalizing entire neighborhoods. The Amsterdam model with its typical combination of popular advocacy, regulatory framework and financial incentives for heritage preservation has become a common format for practically every Dutch city.
Three case studies, Pakhuis De Zwijger (http://www.dezwijger.nl/), De Hallen (http://dehallen-amsterdam.nl/ ) and Westergas Fabriek (http://www.westergasfabriek.nl/) demonstrated the success of this model whereby old buildings can be transformed successfully into urban sub-centers with new commercial, cultural and social functions. In conclusion, Ms. van Steekelenburg shared three guiding principles for this type of heritage revitalization: 1) keeping the streetscape with an area based approach and strong height & density controls; 2) creative adaptive re-use of buildings; 3) public-private collaboration and incentivization with a focus on long term economic gains.
In a separate contribution Prof. Hess explained that such models correspond well to urban heritage policies developed all across the EU since the 1970s. Of particular importance are the UNESCO Convention concerning the Protection of World Cultural Heritage (1972), which lists Amsterdam's canal ring among the world's most important cultural heritage sites, and the 1973 Amsterdam Declaration of the Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the Council of Europe. The 1973 Maastricht Treaty on European Union makes the preservation of inner-city historical areas an obligation for all EU member states. Subsequently, the EU has a broad array of funding schemes for heritage conservation and works closely with (among others) Europa Nostra, the umbrella organization of over 400 individual heritage associations in Europe. The EU does not fund actual preservation and adaptive re-use projects, which are financed publicly (by national governments, regions or municipalities) or in special public-private cooperation (as in the Amsterdam examples). Instead it focuses on accompanying research, the results of which are made available to all interested cities in the EU. Prof. Hess stressed that any type of heritage conservation requires strong political leadership and regulatory frameworks (European, national, regional/local). These frameworks exist – not the least because (as the Dutch examples show) the general European public has demanded them since the 1950s. As a result, many European cities have indeed been able to maintain their 'comparative advantage' and unique identity, as the example of Amsterdam can show so convincingly.

Draper, Masten Test Guidance System
by Dan Leone February 13, 2012 January 30, 2023
WASHINGTON — In what turned out to be a successful bid to mature critical guidance and navigation technology needed for extraterrestrial landings, engineers at Charles Stark Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., wired an experimental guidance and navigation system into a suborbital test rocket and performed a simulated lunar landing.
Draper integrated the Guidance Embedded Navigator Integration Environment (GENIE) system that it is building for NASA into Masten Space Systems' Xombie vehicle before flying the rocket on what Draper engineers called a "planetary trajectory."
The test flight took place Feb. 2 at Masten's home base, the Mojave Air and Space Port.
The GENIE-equipped Xombie rocket flew 50 meters straight up, then, maintaining altitude, flew 50 meters laterally before coming in for a landing within 12 centimeters of its target on the ground.
The GENIE system is next scheduled to fly in August or September on Xaero, the Masten reusable suborbital rocket that NASA's Flight Opportunities Program selected last year to fly technology payloads and other experiments.
GENIE is part of NASA's Autonomous Landing and Hazard Avoidance Technology, or ALHAT, project. The Johnson Space Center in Houston is the lead center for the ALHAT, which seeks to mature active-sensor technologies needed to conduct autonomous landings at unexplored extraterrestrial sites.
Technology being developed as part of ALHAT originally would have supported the planned four-person Altair lunar landing module, which was cancelled along with the Constellation Moon-return program for which it was designed.
"Up until two years ago, Altair human lunar lander was one of our big customers," Doug Zimpfer, a Draper associate director based in Houston, said Feb. 7. "Obviously, not anymore."
Zimpfer said GENIE could be used on a future robotic Mars or Moon landers.
Tye Brady, director of Draper Laboratory's space systems group, said the Feb. 2 test flight — which was arranged by NASA's Flight Opportunities Program — allowed GENIE to achieve Technology Readiness 6, a technology-maturity grade NASA assigns to prototypes that have been successfully demonstrated in a relevant environment. Brady said one of the most challenging aspects of technology development involves passing through Technology Readiness Levels 5 and 6 — what engineers have dubbed the technology readiness level valley of death.
"It's sort of a Catch 22," said Brady. "You have to get a flight if you want to advance to the next level, but nobody wants to give you a flight if you haven't flow before."
Brady said mall vertical-takeoff, vertical-landing rockets, like those made by Masten, are particularly well-suited to maturing technology intended for landers, as these vehicles are able to imitate — as neither planes nor helicopters can — the landing trajectories that spacecraft would follow on their way to the surface of the Moon or Mars.
"You can get that validation here on Earth," said Brady. "We can exactly duplicate the approach trajectories that you would have on the Moon or Mars."

HBO Brings Game of Thrones Escape Room to SXSW
Posted on	 March 6, 2017 by	Sue the Fury	· 8 Comments
As previously announced, Game of Thrones will be well-represented at this month's SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, with showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and stars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner heading up a panel at the event. Today HBO announced an exciting addition to the festivities, confirming that once again an interactive fan experience is coming to SXSW.
This year, HBO presents fans with a unique experience: HBO: The Escape, challenging attendees to escape from three rooms themed to HBO shows including Silicon Valley, Veep and Game of Thrones.
How does it work? As HBO explains, participants in the Escape Room challenge must "solve a series of clues in each room to unlock the door to the following room and complete all three. In each room, teams will have the opportunity to complete a challenge, locate the door and escape to the next room. Once they've made their way through all three rooms, each team will have a chance to take their photo on the Iron Throne, to purchase merchandise from their favorite HBO shows from the online HBO Shop, and to be among the first to sample the brand new Game of Thrones wines, created in partnership between Vintage Wine Estates and HBO Global Licensing."
If you're in the Austin area, you'll find HBO: The Escape located at 800 Congress Ave., in Downtown Austin. The Escape will be open daily from Saturday, March 11th through Monday, March 13th from 10:00am CT to 8:00pm CT, except for Saturday, March 11th, when it will close early to the public at 5:15pm CT.
SXSW attendees can reserve a slot by visiting HBOTheEscape.com! Apparently a limited number of slots are available each day, and will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis, so hurry on over and reserve your spot.
HBO has also confirmed that the Iron Throne room section of HBO: The Escape will be open to the general public during operating hours for fan photos.
The Game of Thrones wine tasting, which includes an exclusive sampling of the Game of Thrones Red Blend and Game of Thrones Chardonnay, will only be available to those who make it through HBO: The Escape. The two wines, along with the Game of Thrones Cabernet, will be available sometime this spring.
And then of course, there's the panel on Sunday, March 12th with the Game of Thrones showrunners, scheduled for 3:30-4:30pm local time. If you're attending SXSW, head to the Austin Convention Center's Ballroom D to see Benioff and Weiss chat with Turner and Williams about Game of Thrones.

The puzzles can't be very challenging if you have to solve all three in order to obtain the privilege of spending your money on ther merch!
Still, a good idea to have more interactive attractions. I've been thinking for years now that the generations who grew up on RPGs are not going to be satisfied with passively sitting on rides in theme parks; they're going to want to solve a puzzle to move on to the next chamber of the dungeon. My state is full of decommissioned armories for sale that resemble castles; my 'if I won the Powerball lottery' fantasy is to turn one into a LARPing attraction like that.

Celsius (℃) to Kelvin (K) Conversion – What is 2269 Celsius (℃) in Kelvin (K)?
Trying to convert 2269 ℃ to Kelvin units? The first condition that you should understand in Celsius to Kelvin conversion is that 1℃ = 1K, but the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (0K = -273.15℃). At this temperature there is minimum energy and all electric devices can't operate at that temperature. This means that all useful temperatures of elements are in the positive side of the Kelvin scale unlike the Celsius scale that has important temperatures in both negative and positive sides of the scale.

SAN ANTONIO - New details are coming to light in the arrest of an off-duty San Antonio police officer accused of assaulting the girlfriend of a man with whom she was having an affair, a police report states.
Nicolette Muniz, a 3-year veteran of the police force, is charged with family violence.

A police report for the incident, which occurred early Friday morning, states that Muniz FaceTimed a man with whom she was suspected of having an affair and that when the man's girlfriend saw Muniz calling, she picked up the phone.
The woman told authorities that she argued with Muniz over the phone and that Muniz said, "I bet you won't say that to my face," prompting the woman to give Muniz her home address.
The police report states that the woman told officers she didn't think Muniz would actually show up, but that Muniz did, in fact, go to her home in the 300 block of Sprucewood Lane and confronted her as she took her dog outside to use the restroom around 3 a.m.
According to the police report, the woman knew her boyfriend was having an affair with Muniz since November, but thought it had ended.
The woman told Muniz that her boyfriend didn't want to be with Muniz, and Muniz said she wanted to hear the man say it himself, so the pair agreed to go inside the home which is where they thought he was.
The door, however, was locked and someone else who lives at the home let the women inside.
As the two women entered the home, Muniz elbow checked the other woman in the stomach, then bumped her right leg, according to the report.
The pair was unable to find the man, the report states, and when they got to the front door, Muniz got aggressive, telling the woman to hit her. According to the police report, Muniz antagonized the woman, punching her in the face and neck, while trying to get the woman to hit her back, but the woman instead called for the other person at the home to call the police, which that person did.
The woman told officers that Muniz then walked out of the home and said she would be making some phone calls, which the woman felt was a threat as Muniz is an officer, the report states. According to authorities, the woman then went to the backyard of the home to make sure the gate was closed so her dogs wouldn't get out, and she found her boyfriend in the backyard.
The report states that the woman called her boyfriend a coward for not intervening in the argument and that the man responded, calling her "f-----g stupid" for calling the police, then got away through a back alleyway.
Police noted that they believed Muniz was the primary aggressor in the situation.
Police said Muniz was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the alleged assault. She was released Friday on $3,500 bail, online records show.

BVA Responds to Concerns Around Supply of Veterinary Medicines in a 'No Deal' Scenario
BVA has today (12 September 2019) responded to concerns around supply of veterinary medicines in a 'No Deal' Brexit scenario after the government published its Operation Yellowhammer: No-deal contingency planning paper yesterday.
BVA President, Simon Doherty said:
"Continued access to veterinary medicines post-Brexit is essential for safeguarding animal health and welfare, public safety and the food chain in the UK. Our concerns with regards to veterinary medicines lie with those for long term health conditions and medicines that have a short shelf life, such as vaccines. Most vaccines cannot be stored for long periods of time and the absence of them could have an adverse effect on the health and welfare of farm animals, horses and pets.
"The Government has made assurances that it would prioritise maintaining the supply of these products in a no-deal Brexit scenario. BVA continues to work with the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) and the industry body National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) to monitor the situation.
"While we don't advise the stockpiling of medicines, we would advise animal owners to discuss the timing of any vaccinations with their vet. We would also urge pet owners whose animals are undergoing long term treatment to seek repeat prescriptions in good time from their veterinary practice."

Pope Francis makes his first visit to Malta Saturday where he is expected to ask the heavily Catholic country to do more to help migrants who have risked their lives trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe.
The visit to the tiny island nation was scheduled two years ago but has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, and now comes as war in Ukraine unleashes a new humanitarian emergency across Europe, with millions fleeing their homes.
Francis said on Twitter Friday that his "journey in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul" would be an "opportunity to know at first hand a Christian community with a millennia-old history."
Francis, who will visit a migrant centre during his two-day trip, is likely to renew calls for an end to the war while reminding the world not to overlook those who continue to risk their lives at sea trying to reach Europe from North Africa. AFP
"The pope comes to our island as a herald and messenger of reconciliation and mercy not only in the Mediterranean basin, but throughout the world," the Archbishop of Malta Charles Scicluna said in Italy's Christian Family magazine published Friday.
The 85-year-old pontiff's visit to Malta follows those of his predecessors Benedict XVI in 2010 and two visits by John Paul II, in 1990 and 2001.
The country's history is steeped in Catholicism going back to St. Paul, who is believed to have been shipwrecked on Malta en route to his execution in Rome.
About 85 percent of Malta's 516,000 inhabitants say they are Catholic believers. Catholicism is part of the constitution and Malta is the only European Union country that completely bans abortion.
The pontiff will conduct mass Sunday before an estimated crowd of 10,000 people in Floriana, next to the capital Valletta, following a visit to the Grotto of St. Paul, where the apostle is believed to have sought shelter.
Also on Sunday, he will visit migrants living at the Hal Far peace lab, a migrant centre founded by a Franciscan friar in 1971 in honour of former pope John XXIII.
The centre currently houses 55 young male migrants from across Africa but is preparing for the arrival of refugees from Ukraine.

I couldn't believe what happened today. Imogen Markham knocked on the door at about twelve, before I knew it Andrew had brought her into the sitting room. At first I thought that she'd come to have a go at me about being at the funeral, but she didn't mention it for ages, she sort of sat there for a bit. I asked her how she was and she just said "odd".
Then I started blabbering on like a fool about how I was sorry if I had intruded and that I hadn't meant to disturb her. Then I ran out of steam, particularly because she was just sitting there staring at me with her big eyes.

Tirana is the capital and the largest city of Albania. Modern Tirana was founded as an Ottoman town in 1614 by Sulejman Bargjini, a local ruler from Mullet, although the area has been continuously inhabited since antiquity. Tirana became Albania's capital city in 1920 and has a population of over 600,000. The city is home to many universities and is the center of the political, economical, and cultural life of the country.

Historical places and national parks
The National Historical Museum of Albania is located in Tirana, on the main Skanderbeg Square. The square is named after the Albanian national hero. In the National Historical Museum of Albania there are over 4750 historical objects. The exhibition includes objects from the Stone Age through the ancient world until the 15th century, exclusively on the Albanian history, full of historical twists. There are richly decorated robes of the Albanian rulers or things specific to  historical events, emblems of Albanian princes, the cathedral pillars, reliefs, icons created by the greatest Albanian artists and many other attractions of Albanian history.

The Skanderbeg Monument in Tirana is an 11 metres high statue of Albania's national hero. The statue was cast in 1968 by Odis Pacali for the 500th anniversary of Skandersbeg's death.

Dajti National Park is a protected area. It is located in the central part of the country, about 10 km east of the capital Tirana . The Park  is situated at altitudes from 300 meters to 1,600 meters. The highest peak of Dajti Park  is Mount Dajti with an altitude of 1613 meters. The Park  covers an area of 3300 hectares. It was established on 1 January 1996. Mountain slopes are densely vegetated mostly by sturdy pines and beech trees. In winter the park lies under snow and it became a popular winter destination for residents of Tirana.

Petrela Castle also called the Petrel is located in central Albania, near Tirana. It lies on the right side of the main road from Tirana to Elbasan. Its location naturally attracts the attention of many visitors. Petrela Castle is located on the hill above the village of the same name. It is triangular and has two observation towers. Although there already existed ancient fortifications at this site, the current design is 15th century. Inside the castle is a restaurant. Petrela Castle offers visitors unique views of the valley Erzen, picturesque hills, olive groves and distant mountains.

Telegraph Review
Marissa Tejada, Travel writer
Armeni Village is situated in Oia, Santorini's village known for its blazing sunsets and quiet, dreamlike atmosphere. Like most of the accommodation in Oia, the only way to get to a room at this hotel is by several flights of stairs. The hotel is located steps down from Nikos Nomikou, which is the ambient panoramic main street of the village that also connects to Oia's warren of lanes lined with shops, restaurants and cafés. Ammoudi Bay and its fish tavernas are 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) to the west.
The hotel is seven miles (11 kilomtetres) from Fira and 11 miles (18 kilometres), or a 30-minute drive, to the beach resorts in the eastern part of the island such as Perissa and Kamari. The nearest beach is Baxedes/Koloumbos beach which is two and a half miles (four kilometres) away. The hotel is 10 miles (16 kilometres) from the airport and 11 miles (19 kilometres) from the port of Athinios where ferries dock.
Style and Character
The rooms and suites are inspired by the traditional white cave houses of the island. While the colour scheme is primarily white, the monotony is broken up with the curve of modern lamps, wall art and decorative coloured pillows. The enduring feature of the hotel is its location, which makes it easy to admire the dramatic tumble of white and pastel-coloured hotels, churches and balconies, as well as views of the Aegean Sea, Thirassia island and the caldera.

Parking is located in a nearby square (300 metres away) – staff will arrange a bellboy service to transfer luggage down to the hotel rooms. The reception is friendly. Armeni features two small plunge pools, one of which offers a panoramic view of Oia and the caldera. Concierge services include tours, sailing excursions, transfers, in-room massages and beauty treatments.
There are a total of 15 rooms and suites set on different levels of the property, and all of them feature a balcony with a view. The entry-level room, the Double Superior, is average in size for Santorini, and features a comfortable double bed at its centre, a wardrobe and a desk. The room also has a television, coffee and tea facilities and a fridge with minibar. Bathrooms include a stand-up waterfall shower area. Three types of suites have larger beds and more amenities. The Junior Suite has a queen-sized bed and a view which features a stunning central view of the caldera and a panorama of the sea. The Deluxe and Superior suites have king-sized beds, lounges and outdoor hot tubs with a view.
Armeni Village does not have an on-site restaurant, but does serve breakfast by delivery to each room, which is included in the price. Upon check-in guests are asked to choose from a checklist of continental breakfast items including hard-boiled eggs, cold cuts, cheese, coffee, bread, savoury pies, concentrated orange juice, coffee or tea. A specific time for breakfast delivery is also requested.
Double rooms from €180 (£155) in low season; and from €380 (£330) in high. Breakfast included. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Not suitable.
Family-Friendly?
There are two Superior Family Rooms which sleep a family of four to six. However, Armeni does not accept children aged three to 12 years old due to the steep location of the property.

Your car is still a great running car but it is no longer new so what types of car insurance coverage should you have on it? Should you only carry the minimum insurance that your state requires or should you continue to carry extra coverages that will protect your car if it is damaged? You ask yourself, when does my car no longer need full coverage on it? Is the car too old to carry full coverage and can I afford to fix my car or buy another car if mine is damaged?
While there is no coverage under car insurance one can just check off for "full coverage" most people refer to having full coverage as meaning you have your state's mandatory coverages (usually Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Liability) plus the optional coverages of Comprehensive and Collision placed on your vehicle. Collision and Comprehensive are sometimes called "physical damage" coverages since they indeed cover physical damages done to your vehicle.
These types of physical damage coverages always come with a deductible; which can be as little as $100 or up to $1,000 or more for exotic sports cars. You choose your deductible amount at the inception of your policy for these coverages and most deductibles chosen by individuals are something affordable, usually $250 or $500.
There are several factors to consider when making the decision to no longer carry full coverage on your vehicle. Whatever other reasons there might be for dropping full coverage on your car, one foundational reason would be: do you still have a loan with your car as security?
Most banks, credit unions, and finance companies (basically any lien holder on the motor vehicle) will require you to carry full coverage throughout the life of their loan to you. Depending on the length of time for your loan requirement to be satisfied, you will normally be paying on a loan from three to five, or even in some cases six or seven years. So during this whole time the vehicle you are driving is the lien holder's asset and thus they will want it covered by full coverage.
The next consideration, after your loan is paid off, or if you have no loan because you paid for the car in full up front, is the value of your vehicle. You want to know if your car is worth the price of paying for full coverage on it. A very close fair market value for your automobile can be determined by simply looking on the Internet. Most search engines will take you where you need to go by you typing "car value" and clicking enter.
Just for the sake of this article, let's assume you have what many might consider a fairly "generic" automobile. Assume a 2002 Ford Taurus SEL, a nice family sedan in good shape, but with 98,000 miles on it.
At this point, you would want to consider; what is the additional premium requirement on my current car insurance policy to continue to carry "physical damage" coverage on this car? Assume the estimated premium would be $200 to $300 per year for that portion of your auto policy.
Now, an important factor will be; what would it cost me to repair this vehicle in case of a collision? Also, what would it cost me to replace this car in case it was stolen, or in case it is a total loss due to a collision with another vehicle or even a single car accident that totaled the vehicle?
All auto repair shops will charge the retail price for parts in a collision repair. So a car worth $4,000 involved in a minor collision may cost $1,000 to $3,000 to repair.
This vehicle, in a major collision that pops both front air bags, would easily be "totaled" by the insurance claims adjuster. If you are carrying physical damage coverage on the car, the insurance company will give you a check for the depreciated value (actual cash value of the vehicle at the time of accident) minus your deductible and you are on your way to finding another vehicle to drive.
If you are not carrying physical damage coverage, then your car is worth salvage value. Typically, a salvage company will give you a check for $100 or so and haul off the car to be junked or sold for parts.
You have to consider several factors in the decision to drop your comprehensive and collision insurance coverage, and in determining the deductible you would carry. If you are in a fender bender, would you want to be "out" $250, or $500? Depending upon the type of vehicle, there is usually a negligible annual premium difference between $250 coverage and $500 coverage, although there is a savings for taking the higher deductible.
Thus to determine if full coverage is needed for your vehicle you have to know if there is a lien holder requiring you to carry it. If so you have to keep full coverage or risk losing your car due to not meeting the terms of your lease or loan. Next find out the value of your car.
If the value of the car is less than your deductible amount then if you car was damaged it would be totaled out and you would not even be able to make a claim so why carry full coverage? If your car is worth a few hundred or thousand dollars above your deductible amount then look at the cost of carrying full coverage on the car and decide if it is financially beneficial to you or if your car was damaged or totaled you could pay for the repairs or buy a similar car on your own.
If your car is worth a considerable amount then it would be unlikely that you would want to stop carrying full coverage since the average person doesn't have thousands of dollars to spend on repairs themselves or could replace a $20,000 car if it was stolen or totaled out and did not have full coverage on it to cover that type of incident.
You should also look at your deductible amount when deciding about full coverage. Is it low enough you could afford to pay it out to your insurer if your car was damaged? Is it high enough to give you a better price on your physical damage coverages?
So now once again ask yourself the question from the beginning of this article - when does my car no longer need full coverage? The answer is when you can afford to repair or replace your vehicle on your own. Without full coverage, you are taking a big risk, the last and biggest question is can you afford not to have it?

Current: Industrial Cybersecurity
Challenges continue to grow for the industrial cybersecurity community. Broader deployment of operational technology is expanding the use cases requiring protection. Resource shortages are undermining the effectiveness of established defenses. Blurring boundaries between IT, OT and IoT are increasing the need for more integrated, collaborative cybersecurity strategies.
Industrial Cybersecurity Challenges
Industrial plants and infrastructure systems need secure control systems to ensure safe, reliable operation. Widespread use of operational technologies in smart cities presents a similar challenge. Compromised systems jeopardize citizen safety, business continuity, and effective delivery of critical government services like water and sewage. To avoid such incidents, smart city planners need people who understand operational technology and the associated security challenges. Leveraging the experiences of the industrial cybersecurity community is essential.
Cybersecurity challenges are also increasing within traditional plants and infrastructure systems. Many plants still lack the resources to sustain defenses or proper strategies to enable external support. Deployment of IIoT strategies is proceeding without real solutions for critical issues like secure-by-design-devices and secure supply/support chains. Growing use of cloud-based solutions are undermining the ability of in-house teams to govern security practices. Segregating cybersecurity efforts by technology is no longer a sustainable approach. Organizations need to develop new integrated strategies that combine IT, OT, and IoT security efforts and maximize use of all corporate cybersecurity resources.
On top of that Cybersecurity technology is moving fast. There are more choices than ever in technology, techniques, deployment architectures, and service providers. ARC analysts follow all aspects of Cybersecurity technology for Industry and Infrastructure. If you are faced with a strategic decision, and want to know the best practices, leading solutions or current issues, then you need to engage with ARC.
The market for industrial cybersecurity products and services continues to evolve, develop and expand. Increased awareness of cyber risks, governmental actions, and more comprehensive regulations have driven the development of new solutions and a new cadre of suppliers. Recognizing these developments, ARC has expanded the breadth and depth of its ongoing coverage of this dynamic market. Click here for our suite of cybersecurity research. ARC has recently completed research related to:
Anomaly and Breach Detection
The market for industrial cybersecurity products and services continues to evolve, develop and expand. Increased awareness of cyber risks, governmental actions, and more comprehensive regulations have driven the development of new solutions and a new cadre of suppliers. Recognizing these developments, ARC has expanded the breadth and depth of its ongoing coverage of this dynamic market.
Endpoint protection is a central focus of every industrial cybersecurity strategy. Despite the known limitations, most industrial companies still use anti-malware software wherever possible in their control systems. Some also use application whitelisting. Automation companies are like-wise applying these security products in their control systems.
The endpoint protection solutions used in control systems are generally the same as those used for corporate IT. However, the application of these products is more constrained. Industrial users also have unique challenges in maintaining malware signatures, etc. These differences im-pact the features industrial users want and the value they place on the new developments occurring in the endpoint protection market.
Industrial Cybersecurity Management Solutions
Industrial cybersecurity management solutions include a broad range of products for maintaining a facility's security posture. This is a distinct segment of the overall cybersecurity management solutions market, distinguished by the unique features of industrial automation equipment and the need to respect stringent constraints on system updates and network communications.
Industrial network security solutions include a broad range of products for protecting plants, networks, and endpoint assets. This is a distinct segment of the overall networking products market, distinguished by the unique requirements of systems that control critical industrial assets and infrastructure. This market segment is also distinguished by its focus on operational safety and availability, as opposed to the conventional IT focus on information privacy and confidentiality.
Industrial Cybersecurity Services
Industrial companies are looking for a variety of cybersecurity services to ensure the security of their automation and SCADA systems. These in-clude:
Assessment Services – initial and ongoing audits of plant defenses and programs relative to internal or established standards
Implementation Services – design and implementation of defensive technologies and programs to mitigate cyber risks
Managed Services – monitoring and maintenance support to sustain defenses and deal with cyber incidents
Cybersecurity Roadmap Workshops
Take Control of Your Cybersecurity Program
Managers want secure facilities, but many are frustrated with their inability to evaluate investment requests and take control of programs that seem to be "chasing their tails." They don't want to become cybersecurity experts, but they need to be sure that the safety and operational risks of cyber-threats are properly managed.
ARC's Cybersecurity Roadmap Workshop meets the needs of these managers. They learn how to evaluate their real cyber risks and the cost-benefit tradeoffs of different cybersecurity actions. Using ARC's industrial cybersecurity maturity model they also learn how to assess existing cybersecurity programs and institute a rational roadmap for future investments in technology and resources. This process focuses efforts on real and relevant (to the company) cyber threats and ensures that the organization maintains the associated risks at acceptable levels.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model
ARC developed its ICS Cybersecurity Model as a tool to help managers take control of their plant security efforts. It structures cybersecurity defenses into easily understandable steps and highlights the costs and resources required for each step.

Can a tenting trip ever evaluate to the luxuries of a stay in a hotel? Impressed by the hotel's heritage, Bar Americano, offers a alternative of masterfully combined cocktails in an Artwork Deco setting. After quite a few emails without reply, we resorted to reserving the additional night directly with the hotel. Majority of the hotels provides complimentary breakfast with rooms.
In Europe Center Parcs is perhaps thought-about a sequence of resort hotels, since the websites are largely man-made (though set in pure environment comparable to nation parks ) with captive commerce, whereas vacation camps reminiscent of Butlins and Pontin's are probably not thought of as resort hotels, since they're set at traditional holiday destinations which existed earlier than the camps.
World Hotel Alliance affords greater than 550 hotels in 76 nations. Friends can keep in one of many 15 suites, benefit from the splendid views and take a dip within the Mermaid Pool, dine in black tie splendour and end the evening listening to a jazz band. Bookended by town's two most-talked about and up to date additions—the High Line and Hudson Yards—we try to make your stay right here both a relaxed and linked one.
Reservations will be cancelled or modified on the latest at sixteen:00 (local time at the hotel) 1 day previous to arrival freed from cost. I always love staying at 1 Hotel Central Park. I was considering couple of days ago that since summer season simply arrived I think this is the right time to share my seaside holiday experiences and a few suggestions how one can get pleasure from a beach trip with all.
To e book a particular players card supply; typically particular package presents (say '3 nights for the general worth of 99dollars', and so forth) are extra-cost-free and, even higher, they are tax-free (what we mean is that the advertised bundle value is all inclusive of any charge, so there are not any surprises at try).

Amiry Fahmi

I never knew how much I loved production work until I started getting involved with it during my tertiary level education at Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) and UiTM Shah Alam.

That's when I realized, I have found my passion in life.
