Persecuted but Growing
Our Daily Journey | September 24
There are few events of greater historical significance in the 20th century than China's Cultural Revolution. The Communist Party instituted changes at every level of society to enforce its ideology. These included the persecution of the nation's Christians, with many sent to labor camps. It's estimated that the Cultural Revolution resulted in the death of 30 million Chinese people and forced the church underground. But decades later, it turns out that the efforts to wipe out Christianity had the opposite effect. Experts believe that there are more Christians worshiping in underground churches in China than there are total believers in…
You're Needed
In 2015, Derrick Rose, an All-Star guard in the National Basketball Association (NBA), faced another surgery after he tore the medial meniscus in his right knee for the second time in 15 months. The meniscus is a relatively obscure part of the human body, yet this essential piece of cartilage not only threatened Rose's career, but also hurt his team's chances of a championship and dashed the hopes of the city where he plays. What a large impact from such a small thing!
Our Daily Bread | August 20
While standing in line for a popular attraction at Disneyland, I noticed that most people were talking and smiling instead of complaining about the long wait. It made me ponder what made waiting in that line an enjoyable experience. The key seemed to be that very few people were there by themselves. Instead, friends, families, groups, and couples were sharing the experience, which was far different than standing in line alone.
The Christian life is meant to be lived in company with others, not alone. Hebrews 10:19–25 urges us to live in community with other followers of Jesus. "Let us…
True Fellowship
The word fellowship conjures up some rather strange associations in my mind. When I hear it spoken, I immediately think of coffee and donuts, along with the basement meeting spaces in churches where those coffee and donuts are served. Most strangely, I also think about the 2001 movie The Fellowship of the Ring. So somehow my concept of Christian community has become inextricably tied to a tale of men, dwarves, and elves dealing with "one ring to rule them all."
Our Daily Bread Videos | June 14
Whether breaking bread around a table or coming together around the Word of God, it's good to be with other believers. We find common ground, encouragement, and happy hearts. Fellowship is one of God's greatest gifts to His children.
Simple Tables
I have a friend who has spent most of his life with people who live on society's margins: People experiencing poverty or homelessness, those who wrestle with addictions or simply exist outside the mainstream, anyone who might be considered an outcast. "That's where I seem to fit," my friend says. "On the edges." He helps believers in Jesus learn how to be in true friendship with those who are different. "This kind of friendship isn't as complicated as we like to make it," my friend insists. "Often it's as simple as knowing someone's name and how they like their coffee."
Chameleon Crawl
When we think of the chameleon, we probably think of its ability to change color according to its surroundings. But this lizard has another interesting characteristic. On several occasions I've watched a chameleon walk along a pathway and wondered how it ever reached its destination. Reluctantly, the chameleon stretches out one leg, seems to change its mind, attempts again, and then carefully plants a hesitant foot, as if afraid the ground will collapse under it. That was why I couldn't help laughing when I heard someone say, "Do not be a chameleon church member who says, 'Let me go to…
No Lone Rangers
Our Daily Journey | March 22
My country esteems "rugged individualism"—the idea that truly strong people do things on their own. The icon of this peculiar value was the Lone Ranger, a famous fictional cowboy of radio and the silver screen, and a solitary masked hero that protected others from harm. But it's interesting to note that the Lone Ranger was hardly alone. He had a trusty horse named Silver and a constant companion named Tonto. Because of this, the supposedly "Lone" Ranger had more friends than many people do!

Living out our faith with other believers
Discover The Word | October 13
In our individualistic culture, it's sometimes hard to ask for help even when we need it the most. Let's talk about why Christianity is not a faith to be lived out all by our lonesome. The "fellowship of believers" is not a social club—it's an "us" versus "I" living organism, designed by God, to bring healing and grace even in hopeless situations.

Seemingly unaware of leaflets littering the sidewalk and placards dotting the corners of the intersection, the pedestrians around me continued their normal pace of life on this national election weekend. As a foreigner, I saw a distinct similarity between the smiling faces of the candidates staring from their two-dimensional advertisements and those from my home country. All promised change and hope.

Fire requires oxygen and fuel in tandem to keep burning—something that's important to know in my part of the world when winter snowstorms come calling! If you don't have enough oxygen flowing to the logs you've set ablaze, the fire will die down. And if you run out of wood, you'll soon be trying to warm your hands over cooling ashes!
teaching lines
Our Daily Journey | August 7
I overheard my 11-year-old son telling his grandmother about one of his classes at school. "On our first day of Studio Art," he said, "our teacher told us to draw self-portraits. Mine was bad. Everyone's was bad. The next day she taught us how to use lines, and everyone's self-portraits improved."


I actually made this last year for Naomie's birthday but I totally forgot to share it. It was really easy. I made her it to wear with a pair of longies that no longer fit her. Never mind, she wears it with a pair of black leggings now. I actually love this top, it is so cute and was so easy to make! It only took me about an hour from start to finish.
I drew a heart onto a plain white top with a pencil (might I suggest you use a washable marker as I can still faintly see the pencil after tons of washes!) Then I took some black embroidery floss and started stitching short lines, using backstitch, to make my heart. I then took some lime and purple embroidery floss and made alternating lines going across the heart.
My heart is so far from perfect, in fact I don't think I actually have one straight line on this top haha. Oh well, it still looks cute on! It might have helped if I had added stabiliser but I didn't because it was the day before her birthday. As is always the case with me!!
This is soooo darling! You made it sound so easy too! I found you at Cheri's blog hop, and am your newest follower, will you follow me back?
Super cute! I love all the colors. I'd love for you to link up with Crafty Cousins.

Satisfactory housing options for the poor are few and far between. More often than not, a family making less than $1300 a month may find its options limited to mobile homes, dilapidated housing, or government housing, usually none of which offer energy efficiency. LoCAL Housing is Homes of Hope's solution to this pressing problem.
LoCAL is a traditional stick-built home available to poverty-level families with incomes of $1000-1300 per month. Qualifying families will first complete a Homes of Hope leasing program, where they will learn budgeting, adequate savings plans and the costs and benefits of homeownership. The goal is for families to be able to rent/purchase their LoCAL home with a standard mortgage payment of no more than $350 a month. LoCAL is constructed to the highest energy standards (LEED) making a family's monthly energy bills less than $75 a month. The goal is that no family will spend more than 30% of their income for housing and utility bills.
LoCAL is the only program of its kind in South Carolina and fills a special niche for families who are under-income qualified for other housing programs. Your company or church can help serve families in need by sponsoring our next LoCAL home!


At Fatima, the Blessed Mother did not ask individual souls for anything particularly difficult. She repeated to men a message they had been ignoring for some time.
Our Lady of Fatima stressed the need for individual souls to stop sinning and return to God, as God is being grievously offended and countless souls are falling into hell because of their sins. Our Lady of Fatima stressed the need for prayer, sacrifice and penance — the penance of each person fulfilling his or her daily duty well, obeying God's laws, avoiding the near occasions of sin and acting in accordance with His will in all things.
Of course, God will reward those souls who generously perform extra penances, as the three shepherd children did. When the children tied rough rope around their waists as a penance, Our Lady told them: "God is satisfied with your sacrifices." We have been told, "From every one who has been given much, much will be required" (Luke 12:48). Those of us to whom God has given much should strive to generously use our talents and make greater sacrifices for His greater honor and glory, lest we be judged for wasting our gifts.
Our Lady also stressed to each person the need for prayer and the great value of prayer. St. Alphonsus tells us that "he who prays will be saved; he who does not pray will be damned." Our Lady instructed the children to recite at least five decades of the Rosary daily, and to pray especially for peace, for poor sinners and for the Holy Father. In the Fatima Message we learn that if we turn to God in humble prayer — confident and persevering — He will respond, and give us many graces in return: "The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications", the Angel told the children. The Five First Saturdays devotion was also given to individuals, in order to gain the grace of final perseverance at one's death and to console Mary's wounded Heart.
If individuals respond to the requests of Our Lady of Fatima, they will gain many benefits. They will be granted peace in their hearts and in their families. They will help to save many souls from hell. They will appease God and console the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and will receive numerous graces. And when enough souls have responded to Our Lady of Fatima's requests, then the Pope and the bishops will finally consecrate Russia and there will be peace in the world.
If individuals do not respond to the requests made by Heaven at Fatima, however, they will have a terrible price to pay. The world will be afflicted with wars, famine, the martyrdom of the good, persecution of the Church and the Holy Father, the annihilation of nations, and apostasy from the one true Faith. Yet even worse than these material chastisements, they will be in grave danger of losing their souls for all eternity in hell.
The present state of the world attests to the fact that most individuals have chosen to ignore the requests of Our Lady of Fatima: wars rage the world over, the Church is in a state of crisis, apostasy is almost everywhere, millions of the innocent unborn are murdered every year. And meanwhile God and the Immaculate Heart are increasingly offended, as men continue to draw God's wrath upon themselves through their stubborn adherence to sin and their refusal to reform their lives in conformity with God's will.

Inter and Lazio eye Lampard move
January 2, 2013 May 15, 2015 Adl Admin
Serie A duo Inter and Lazio are being linked with a move for exit bound Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, according to reports from Italy.
Only in recent weeks it was revealed that the England man would not be receiving a new contract with the Stamford Bridge club at the end of the season, and with that news, the chances of a low-cost deal in January have increased.
A report in the Italian sports daily, il Corriere dello Sport suggests that Lazio, who currently sit in second position in Serie A, will consider a move for Lampard in the coming weeks, but are also willing to wait until June to complete a deal on a free transfer.
Four years ago, under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, there were widespread reports that Inter Milan were keen on bringing Lampard to the San Siro. The report suggests that on this occasion, the midfielder has been offered to the Italian giants by agents working on behalf of the player, and the club are considering a move, even if he does not fit into the young and relatively low cost Inter side that owner Massimo Moratti is looking to build.

Rapping Weathermen
I was just sitting around, watching the television, and they had on a rapping weatherman. He was pretty good too, and he had all these other people rapping, and I thought, 'do they really know where rap comes from? Do they respect it, or is it just a joke to them?' This is a real art form. This requires a lot of work. I should know, I've done a lot of albums. So I was thinking, 'you know what? Maybe this should be the subject of my first movie.'
I think film is the natural transition for the songwriter. You want people to get the full experience. When you write a book, you wish you could put pictures in it and when you write a song, you wish you could show the images. I met Quentin Tarantino and I was like, I want to make movies what do you think? He said, 'you've written some of the greatest movies of all time', meaning my songs. So I said 'well one day I will be able to put it all to the screen'.
I was also watching a show on business and there was this guy who said whenever you start out, you should reach for the lowest hanging fruit and do something you're really familiar with. So I called up a few of my friends and said, 'I'm going to do a movie. I'm going to ask you questions. But not about the money, the cars, the jewellery, the drama…just about the craft.' And they were like, 'wow Ice, no-one ever interviews us about stuff like that.' We live in a gossip based culture; people are only considering the bullshit'.
One of the keys to making this film was that I only used my friends. I knew early in the movie that if I couldn't call you and say, 'hey man this is Ice T, I need you to do something", it was never going to happen. You can't have my manager call their manager, there's no way you're going to get somebody, certainly not the amount of people I needed. So I said, 'fuck it I'll just open my phone book'.
We showed Dr Dre's house in the film because I wanted to let people know that yeah, it turns into something. But Dr Dre's been producing everything from NWA to Ice Cube to 50 Cent to Game. He's one of the biggest selling record people in the world, he deserves it. He says he hasn't been out of the studio for more than two weeks in 27 years, so there's a work ethic that goes along with being that successful.
Content will come back, it has to, it can only be this thin for so long, and its not just rap, its all music. There used to be a movement out there. I blame it all on the internet. Music has been sucked into a pop vortex. Millions of people can make records without any right of passage, so how the hell do I know who is good? How do I find them? The artist saying real political good shit, he doesn't have money so he has to make a record for the radio. You can't say nothing on the radio, it's going to dumb you down, so you're sucked into this vortex of nothingness to become successful. God forbid he gets a hit record, then he goes, 'fuck it, I'm never going to sing about shit, I'm going to just keep getting paid'.
When you're dealing with rappers, you see what I call 'The Drop'. That's where you walk up to me and say 'Ice we got ten seconds, what's happening?' You don't get this kind of conversation we are having now, you get, 'Yo! My Albums Coming Out! Get This! The Art Of Rap! The New Movie! What's Up! Law And Order! Bam! Bam!' and you go, 'wow, does he order food in a restaurant like that?' No, but this is what you want.
If you want to make music because you have a story to tell that's one thing. If you want to be an entertainer just to get paid, then you don't give a fuck, you're going to sing whatever it takes to get paid. You are a pop artist, you are attempting to be popular. You are not singing about what you care about, and that's why with a lot of the new artists, you don't feel them, you don't know who they are. You listen to an Ice T album and at the end of it you have a feeling for who I am, because there are experiences – there's anger, humour, sex. But you listen to a lot of new stuff? Ok you're in the club. You're partying. You've got money. Now who the fuck are you?

I grew up in dire poverty. Like dirt poor. My dad was always trying to live the investor life but seemed to often fall short and as a result, as the youngest of 5, our family struggled to get by. At the age of 5 I was living in a half-burnt mobile home my dad bought for $500. He even calculated the canned food left in the cupboards as a discount that brought his actual cost to about $450. No running water. No heat source. No plumbing. We washed dishes in the creek, went to the restroom in a port a potty and took turns emptying it into a pit in the middle of an 8-acre parcel. My dad had worked out a deal to buy the property on payments from the seller. We used a solar shower in the summer to bathe and snuck into Eastern Kentucky University on the colder days to use their facilities, since my mom had access as a student. As I grew older and realized our situation wasn't normal I always wondered why we couldn't have a regular house like the other kids. Even if we were renting, it was just the idea of having a place to come home to that did not feel like a 3rd world country. We lived there for years and after my parents split up and I spent time living at my moms' boyfriends and my aunts I eventually lived at a myriad of other unconventional places with my dad. A campground, a semi-furnished barn, a friends house, etc. Each circumstance taught me life lessons about relationships, hardships and finances and stirred me to serve and help others in similar situations. This upbringing developed an inward curiousity and passion about homeownership and entrepreneurship. After spending 10+ years in construction, I eventually went back to school to earn a business degree & transitioned to a career in real estate.
Why do some people live years without ever being a homeowner? Is it a lack of resources, a lack of help, a lack of education, their disposition in life, or a combination of things? Whatever the reason, I committed years ago to make sure homeownership could be a reality for as many people as possible. Today I am an investor, a realtor, and an entrepreneur. I own a fast-growing, top-producing real estate team called PNW Real Estate at a Keller Williams and when I'm not working, I enjoy serving. I'm also a dad, a husband and a Christian. My mission is to serve people as Christ has served the world and investing into people and homeownership is one small way I get to do that.

MycoBoost - Research
Cordyceps delivers powerful endurance boosting effects. Doses of 150-300 mg per kg of bodyweight of cordyceps given orally to rats increased the time it took for rats to become fatigued during a swimming test by 12.5%. [1]
These findings are supported by human experiments that showed Cordyceps increased lactic acid threshold by an average of 10.5% - thus enabling the exerciser to increase the intensity and duration of exercise. Researchers concluded that supplementing with cordyceps "improves exercise performance and might contribute to wellness in healthy older subjects." [2]
A 2007 study in Hong Kong that examined traditional Chinese Herbs found that cordyceps does indeed increase ATP production. As they noted, "enhancing mitochondrial ATP generation preserves mitochondrial structural and functional integrity, thus retarding the aging process." [3]
Aside from boosting exercise capacity, the high beta-glucan content of cordyceps helps it reduce fatigue, boost immune system function, increase antioxidant activity, and may even increase testosterone and libido in men. [4]
In a small pilot study, cordyceps was also shown to help support optimal glucose metabolism. [5]
Finally, cordyceps has been shown to "significantly attenuate the liver and heart injuries in Chronic Kidney Disease rats." The same mechanisms of action - reversing elevated levels of inflammatory markers - "can also be used to elucidate the mechanisms of action of other traditional Chinese medicines." [6]
Yerba Mate, the dried leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant, contain several health promoting compounds, including saponins, polyphenols, and xanthines (caffeine and theobromine). These have been shown to increase metabolism, exhibit antioxidant properties, and support regular functioning of the body's cells and tissues. Yerba Mate also contains 7 of the 9 essential amino acids. [7]
Theobromine is a phytochemical antioxidant (also found in real chocolate) that has been shown to boost nitric oxide and dilate blood vessels throughout the body and in the respiratory system. [8]. It has a slight stimulatory effect, about 1/10 the power of caffeine.
Together, the combination of caffeine and theobromine can provide enhanced alertness, boost mental performance, and improve sports performance by up to 5%. [9,10,11]
There are numerous anti-obesity benefits of Yerba Mate including reduced blood sugar levels, increased feelings of satiety, modulates leptin levels, and decreases adipogenesis (creation of fat cells). [12,13,14]
In fact, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled human study, oral supplementation of Yerba Mate decreased body fat mass and percent body fat. [15]
A 2004 study concluded that the antioxidant powers of Yerba Mate are slightly higher than those of Green Tea. [16]
Yerba Mate has also been shown in several studies to reduce advanced glycation end-products or AGEs. These has serious anti-aging and longevity promise. [17,18]

Bieber Cancels World Tour Citing Unethical Conditions: "I Had To Listen To Justin Bieber Songs Every Night For Months"
Justin Bieber says a work contract which forced him to listen to truly appalling music night after night was unreasonable and unethical, and he will now pull out of the contracted world tour.
As part of the world tour – which has already lasted 18 months – Mr Bieber was required to listen to an hour and a half of absolutely abysmal music every night and dance along in time. Bieber's lawyers called it 'a peculiar and unusually harsh requirement. "Quite simply it's inhumane," they said.
The star himself said he never would have agreed to the tour if he had known he would be subjected to the ear-splitting torture of Justin Bieber songs for such an extended period.
Bieber's fans around the world cried and screamed when they heard the news, unconsciously recreating the atmosphere of a Justin Bieber concert.

Alan Watts - Introduction to Oriental Philosophy - I
The very fact that you are here, at all, to listen to this sort of thing, indicates as all philosophy indicates, that there is some unrest. That to be a human being is in some way problematic. That there is such a thing as a life problem. And different people have different ways of expressing it. But there is the reality of what is called in Buddhism, dukkha, a very comprehensive word generally translated "suffering". But which might more accurately be called chronic frustration.
It's like this has happened in the past in the course of evolution, there was a prehistoric animal called titanite [sic]. Which was a sort of forbear of the rhinoceros. And it had a nose horn which was of course a very useful weapon. But this thing kept developing the nose horn because it was so useful until it got bigger and bigger and bigger and at last the creature couldn't hold its head up and it became extinct- too much of a good thing. The dinosaurs, became too big, they found bigness was an advantage over other animals but they overdid it- they had to have one brain in the head and another in the rump. So that some caveman you know has a pet dinosaur and when he goes to bed at night he takes his club and bangs it on the tail and it screams in time to wake him up in the morning. So it became extinct. So the human being can become extinct through overdoing his head, by thinking too much.

Currently, there are no studies that have proven which option, if donated milk or actually having a woman breastfeed your baby, is the safer option, so if this is a choice you are considering, you will have to speak with your own care provider and weigh the benefits and drawbacks for you and your baby.... Hi, I'm two weeks off my due date for baby number 2 and had a question about breast feeding. I breastfed my first until 18 months and would like to do the same if not longer with my second.
The last breastfeeding session for both of my kids was the one right before bed. And basically, it just stopped working. They didn't fall asleep nursing anymore. Or they wanted to talk or read instead. We'd skip a day, then two days, a week, a month—and before I knew it, we were done.
Plus, letting your baby breastfeed longer helps to empty the breast more completely and signal your body to make more breast milk. Try to prevent engorgement in your other breast. One of the disadvantages to breastfeeding from only one side at each feeding is that the breast your child is not nursing on can become overfull and painfully engorged.
Also, for the person that was asking about being sick and breastfeeding, the answer is yes, you can still breastfeed in most cases. If I remember correctly from an article somewhere, I think it even benefits the baby at times because your antibodies are higher at that time.

There are various airports that operate within Honduras. Toncontin Airport (TGU) is one of Honduras's primary airports with at least domestic flights and international flights departing from its runways every week. As of today, Toncontin Airport (TGU) offers nonstop flights to cities and has airlines operating out of it.


Villa Vistafuerte is a beautifully furnished private villa that offers luxurious accommodation. Located a short distance from the centre of Playa Blanca, this property has it all - quality AND location. The villa comprises a master bedroom with double bed and ensuite. 2 further twin bedded rooms share a second bathroom. The large living area has ample seating with plenty entertainment including flat screen TV, with International channels, DVD player, loudspeakers for Ipod/Mp3 etc, books and magazines. Located off the lounge is the unique dining area. This circular room and has seating for 8 people. The fully fitted kitchen is well equipped for self catering and has all the usual facilities including microwave, electric kettle, toaster fridge / freezer and dishwasher. In the utility area there is a washing machine for client use. The french doors lead out to a private pool area with 6 sunbeds, wooden table and chairs and a large brick-built BBQ.
We shared the house with two friends and found that it was perfectly laid out to accommodate two couples. The beds were very comfortable and everything worked as it should. The interior of the house is well laid and nicely furnished but the real treat is the outside space. The pool is a good size and heated. There are plenty of places to either enjoy the sun or shelter from it. The garden is in the sun the whole day. We had bananas to pick directly off the tree (palm) and at other times of the year you could be picking figs or grapes. The barbecue is very good but the charcoal from the local Spar is rubbish unless you like barbecuing on dust. We found the Superdino near the bus station to be the best stocked supermarket although the parking is a bit of a challenge. They have a good supply of things to barbecue and stuff to drink while you are doing it. The villa is conveniently situated for restaurants and bars and small supermarkets for bread and milk. Flamingo beach is very sheltered and pleasant. The cleaners were very efficient and the place was very clean and well kept. All in all a brilliant package.
Thank you very much for your nice comments about your recent holidays and for the top rating! We are delighted to read that for you Vistafuerte is the perfect villa. We endeavour to do our utmost to make our guests feel comfortable so we are very glad to learn that we have successed in satisfying our guests on this occasion. It really does make it all worthwhile for all the team when we get such positive comments.
Good reviews are the best way to establish trust and build up credibility in future guests so we really appreciate the time you took to write this review.
It has been a great pleasure for us hosting you, wife and friends in our villa and we hope we will see you back again in the very near future.
Very disappointing, while photos look good, reality is quite different!
My mother, sister and I booked a two week stay in this villa (semi detached property). The owner Teresa said she would not meet us until the following morning, so we let ourselves in and immediately were met with a cold damp musty smell. We were unable to work the wifi or tv as there were no instructions of any kind. After one hour of trying to sort out the TV (I later found out there were only 3 English speaking channels) I rang Teresa to ask her how it all worked and that the villa was very cold. She arrived one hour later with an electric heater. I asked where the best supermarket was and she said the name was in the information sheet and I could look it up on Google. She had no time to say where it was or that it had a car park under it. This would have taken maybe 30 seconds to explain and been of a great help to us had she taken the trouble to inform us of this very basic information.
My sister and I were in the two bedrooms with the single beds, and neither of us slept, and in fact we had hip and back pains from the discomfort of sleeping on such hard mattresses with wires clearly visible. I phoned Teresa about this and she kindly replaced the two mattresses three days later. We had 4 nights of these dreadful beds.
The main problem with this villa was the very loud traffic noise from the main dual carriage way which the property is on, which meant we were unable to use the garden in comfort. Additionally the noise from the other half of the semidetached house at night. Another neighbour, who in our second week, had the builders in with their electric drills, saws, grinders and hammers all day long! We had no respite from the unbearable noise!
When I mentioned the smell from the bathrooms and kitchen, Teresa said we could move out if we were not happy! Well, as bad as it was, I did not want to put my 87 year old mother through the turmoil of moving during what was supposed to be a restful holiday in the sun. As she wears hearing aids in the daytime, the noise did not effect her at night and we decided the best way to tackle the noise problem was to spend our days out of the villa. At night we had the choice to either keep the windows closed to reduce the noise or to have them open for fresh air, a difficult choice we should not have had to make.
The 1.1 meter deep pool was not warm enough to take a dip in, don't know if you could actually swim in it being so shallow.
We are seasoned travellers and can not recommend this property!
To say I was very disappointed to read this review is an understatement.
To share your opinion with other guests is always appreciated. To tell total untruths is not. It is damaging to a business. But Holiday-rentals gives me the chance to reply.
We had a meeting on Friday morning and you had my phone if you might need anything. You called me onThursday at 8.35 pm telling me that wifi didn't work and it was very cold. There were two electric heaters in the house but you wanted another. It took me 35 m. to arrive as I live 35 km from there.The wifi was working. You didn't know how to watch your netflix. That was the problem!
Information for your holiday, inc. supermarkets (name, situation, address, timetable, distance) and wifi were in the information sheet.I spent 1 hour explaining everything to you. You phoned me on Friday at 9.15 am grumbling about the hardness of the mattress . New softer mattress were bought and in the meantime you were using the mattress toppers we had onsite. On Saturday night you called me telling that all the bulbs in the main bedroom went out. We went there and it was untruth. That'd be the straw that breaks the camel's back and I suggested you to leave I would refund your money and you could enjoy the 11 days still left in another place... but obviously you wanted to be my guests!
NONE of them were done !!!
You checked out leaving it with an absolute filthy cooking smell ! You did not open any window in your whole stay ! You did not cover the pool ! You took the set of keys including the safe one !
You did not want to open windows during the day but did you really want to sleep with windows open with 14-15ºC at nights? 3 electric heaters on... wasn't it very cold ?
It amazes me that after my offer of refunding your money you would continue to be in my house 11 days more without being able to enjoy the house neither inside nor outside. It must have been pure torture to have to endure such an experience. All our guests in general, enjoy their stay with us.
You have been the ONLY exception. It has been a nightmare hosting you!
I would suggest that you maybe holiday at home, It seems you would not enjoy either there! So pretty much at a loss to know what to suggest!
I stayed at Villa Vistafuerte for a week with family. This is a great little villa situated just outside Playa Blanca main town. A cab cost 4 euros so no big issues there either. Lovely pool area, everything maintained well and met with Teresa who was also lovely. Hope to stay again in the future. Recommended.
My family and I (2 adults, 3 childen - 8, 8 and 5) mhave just returned froma sunny week in Lanzarote.
The villa was just as we expected. A little tricky to find in the dark whilst driving a hire car when you're tired, but we found it all the same.
The property was neat, tidy and clean.
Maybe more than 1 toilet roll in each bathroom...?
Pool towels would have been nice. The description suggests towels included so we left pool towels at home which was an error!
Were any of the above deal breakers....? NO. We stilll had a great week. The pool was great, beach an easy walk, Teresa helpful, super markets near by and plenty of resaurants and bars.
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for writing your review. We are delighted to get feedback from our clients. And we take any comments you have on board, as we always strive to improve our product and service.
Thank you very much for all your suggestions and please accept my apologies regarding the description which suggests that pool towels are included I will correct the description to avoid any missunderstanding. It is a pity you did not mention it during your stay as I have some pool towels at home and I would be very pleased to bring them to you..
We would like to thank you once again for taking the time to write this review. And we do hope to see you back again in the not too distant future.
The Villa was incredibly clean and very well maintained, the outside area was amazing!!! Lots of seating and loungers and very pretty. Pool was a good size!
Villa was very well located to Playa Blanca, around a 10 min walk to the main town, and a 5 min walk to Flamingo Beach, which is a lovely sheltered beach.
Teresa welcomed us with a basket full of fruit, food and other essentials such as milk, bread, jam, butter etc, which was really thoughtful, she was very helpful and infact let us stay late on our day of departure as there was nobody coming into the Villa the next day, which was really kind. In the room there was a flat screen TV and a docking station for music which was a very good idea.
We will hopefully be returning again soon! Take me back now!
Only downside was there was some traffic noise when in the garden but overall everything else more than compensated for this, and garden was very private and not overlooked at all!
Other areas to visit were El Golfo, very beautiful and restaurants right on the sea and there was great fish! Marina Rubicon is definitely worth a visit- very pretty, with restaurants and shops, takes around 1 hour to walk from the Villa along a board walk which runs the whole length of Playa Blanca- lovely walk! Timanfaya National Park and volcano worth a visit too- go early or late afternoon.
We are very proud to read it, and we are delighted you enjoyed your time in the villa so much.
We look forward to seeing you back with us again soon. In the meantime, just keep telling all your friends and family about us!

IEEE Globecom San Diego 2015
By Alex Mavromatis • January 10, 2016 Events, News, Uncategorized
Elias Tragos (FORTH) and Vangelis Angelakis (LiU) co-organised a workshop at the prestigious IEEE Globecom conference held in San Diego in December 2015. The workshop was entitled "Networking and Collaboration Issues for the Internet of Everything" and was organised together with the projects TRILLION and SOrBet. The workshop attracted a large number of submissions (24) and after a strict peer-review process only 11 papers were accepted for presentation at the workshop. The workshop was organised in three sessions, complemented by a panel discussion by experts from the organising projects and by a keynote speech. The keynote speaker was Prof. David Elbert (IEEE Fellow, 2015 IEEE CS 2nd Vice President and Treasurer, 2016 IEEE CS 1st Vice President and Vice President of Publications). The workshop attracted a large number of participants, which indeed shows the importance of the topic of security and privacy for the IoT world.

An earlier post of RERUM already pointed out that the edge of the IoT including the devices is going to remain the main attack surface and battlefield in the foreseeable future, due to the relative vulnerability of the devices being exposed in uncontrolled or difficult to control environments, and because of the resource constrained nature of the edge devices.
A large number of monitoring and control application of IoT devices are by nature fall into the category "fit and forget", which not only means that they are supposed to stay operational using the same battery for many years, even a decade or longer, but also that their software should be update-able remotely to patch security vulnerabilities discovered during this very extended period of time. (Well, not only. Functional improvement and reconfiguration might also become necessary over time.)
These two observations, in particular in conjunction with each other clearly highlight the importance and necessity of over the air patching and programming of IoT devices, as they mutually reinforce each other. Over the air programming is a clear must to have for IoT devices.

ITU Telecom World '15 meeting highlights the importance of trust and security of personal data in IoT
By Adam Kapovits • October 14, 2015 News
On the second day of the ITU Telecom World'15 Forum in Budapest, a panel discussion focused on IoT and highlighted the importance of trust and security of personal data in IoT. Bettina Tratz-Ryan, Research VP, Gartner remarked that people are happy to share data within a social media environment, but get more risk averse when it comes to IoT. She went on to say that "securing personal data is a key concern"and that "from a policy perspective we need to settle these concerns" on how data can be shared.
The discussion also gave details on the work of the ITU-T focus group on smart, sustainable cities, which in 2014 agreed on the definition of a smart sustainable city. The focus group produced a series of technology reports on smart cities and communities and in this June ITU-T created a new study group to continue the work of the focus group.
On another panel in the first day of the event Ms Thieblemont (Senior Director, Government Affairs, Qualcomm, Inc., USA) also commented on security and privacy for IoT as being of very high priority, and the subsequent need to practice security-by-design and to inherently build in security rather than add it as an afterthought – as in the case of autonomous cars that have needed patching against software vulnerabilities.

RIOT 5th release features Zolertia's RE-Mote
By Antonio Linan • October 7, 2015 News
A new release of RIOT OS has been announced on October 5th 2015. The release, namely 2015.09 packs the following improvements:
A new generic ("gnrc") network stack, a highly modular and configurable IPv6/6LoWPAN network stack. It implements a large number of IETF RFCs, such as RFC 2473, RFC 4861, RFC 4944, RFC 6550, or RFC 6775. It provides a unified API between the different layers and a generic network device interface.
A new timer subsystem is introduced by xtimer, replacing hwtimer and vtimer modules. xtimer offers very precise timer operations as well as support for long-term timers running over days and weeks. Along with well-known timer operations in RIOT, it also provides a function for accurate periodic timers.
Refactoring and cleaning up the peripheral drivers as well as other CPU and board specific code, helped to reduce the number of Makefile duplication lines by about 50% and provide a much cleaner and easier to use interface for porting new platforms to RIOT.
The Zolertia's RE-Mote platform is included as an officially hardware platform supported in RIOT.
The RIOT community will offer long-term bug fixes for this release in a API-stable branch.

RERUM @ Meet-IoT 2015 in Turin
By Elias Tragos • October 7, 2015 Events, News
RERUM participated at the Meet-IoT 2015 event that took place during 1-2 of October in Turin.
As part of the exhibition, Mr. Pavlos Charalampidis from FORTH demonstrated two demos related to the two out of totally four use cases of the project:
1)	A remote live demo of the smart transportation application that included presentation of the privacy-preserving traffic sensing Android app along with traffic results of a pilot deployment at Heraklion. Special emphasis was put on the privacy-enhancing novelties of the solution.
2)	Sensor data and network statistics monitoring implemented on RERUM Devices (Zolertia RE-Mote) as part of the environmental monitoring application, ensuring security and energy-efficiency through the use of Compressive sensing.
More than 60 visitors stopped at RERUM's booth and showed special interest in the activities of the project, raising questions regarding the RE-Mote hardware platform and recognizing the importance of security and privacy on the edge IoT devices.
RERUM meets POA#digital from the Brazilian SmartCity of Porto Alegre
By Henrich Poehls • September 16, 2015 Events, News
Henrich C. Pöhls met Thiago Ribeiro the co-ordinator of POA#digital on his trip through Brazil. POA#digital is the coordinating and technical expert group behind Porto Alegre's SmartCity initiative.
Mr. Thiago Ribeiro is the coordenador do POA Digital na Prefeit ura Municipal de Porto Alegre and thus he is involved in all SmartCity projects of Porto Alegre. Among the technology they mentioned are roadside cameras, participatory sensing apps. For example Mr. Ribeiro mentioned a service called waze for road congestion detection also used in Porto Alegre.
Porto Alegre is the capital of the large southern Brazilian state Grande do Azul. Mr. Thiago said that Porto Alegre supports to release information again as open data. It is actively making themselves heard and it is one of the few south american cities that are part of connectedsmartcities.eu. Porto Alegre is actively taking concepts and ideas from leading SmartCities, Mr. Ribeiro mentioned San Francisco, and adept them to suit the southern environment. He explicitly mentioned the climate as a distinguishing factor, e.g. heat and moisture levels are higher than in European Cities.
"Smartcities are not the owners of the citizen-supplied data but the data guardians"
For the city wide deployed cameras Mr. Ribeiro also mentioned that Porto Alegre has a very large fiberoptical network backbone. When we discussed the topic of privacy, Thiago Ribeiro said that "POA#digital sees themselves not as owners of the citizen-supplied data but as data guardians." Porto Alegre is taking the protection of data at their servers very seriously and the protection of data when it is on their servers is on their agenda.
"SmartCities have a clear need for protection of the integrity of the data sensed and at the same time privacy"
As example of the privacy mechanisms he explained that if security cameras are able (because of viewing angle or because of pan/tilt/zoom functionality) to monitor private spaces, e.g. the windows of a house, than the system is configured and deployed such that those areas are digitally masked from the image feed that is visible to the operator. So the camera operator cannot see into citizens' private areas. He further explained that openly shared data, the example was health related data the city has, i.e. data that is released as open data, shall not allow identifying individual citizen's health status. The discussion evolved further and finally centered around the mutual agreement that SmartCities have a clear need for protection of the integrity of the data se nsed and at the same time privacy.
Henrich C. Pöhls from UNI PASSAU will continue to stay in contact with POA#digital.
RERUMs deliverables on privacy —soon to be released— will help to highlight RERUM's strength. RERUM will investigate if in the future the discussion can be intensified.
We would like to thank Mr. Ribeiro and the team from POA#digital for the time and the insights into Porto Alegre — a Brazilian SmartCity.

Jack (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a shy and awkward man who drives a limo and lives an unassuming life. His friend and co-worker, Clyde (John Ortiz), and his wife Lucy (Daphne Rubin-Vega), feel sorry for Jack and set him up on a blind date with Connie (Amy Ryan). Connie shares Jack's shyness and awkwardness, but through each other they seem to be able to find solace within themselves. Trouble might be brewing in paradise though, as Clyde and Lucy's marriage stumbles just as Jack and Connie's relationship grows.

If you look at any geographic area where the Middle Class is priced out of living, you will find a basket of Progressive policies enacted by rich liberals: exorbitant property taxes, land use regulation from byzantine zoning limitations to things like "historic preservation" regulations, bizarre environmental restrictions and the like. Each level of such regulation adds additional costs to housing and small business to the point where people with a decidedly Middle Class income cannot afford to be a part of it.
Make no mistake. This is deliberate "ghetto-ization" masquerading as enlightened policy. The rich, progressive elites do not wish to associate with the hoi polloi. What racial segregation was seventy years ago, land use controls are now. Thus, you get places like New York or San Francisco, where there are only those making a lot of money or nothing are the only ones who survive.
Yet the Progressives wonder why cities are dying.
However, I've heard these same people talk about forcibly integrating neighborhoods, so that when you go to buy a house, based on your race and income, there will be areas you will be encouraged to buy in, and areas where you won't be allowed.
Or at least I've been hearing this sort of thing through my friend on the local Board of Ed. If they can't get forced school integration through bussing, these folks want it by making every schools cachement area diverse racially and economically.
In most metro areas, there is a push for "regionalism." You are correct that lending institutions will be pressured to underwrite loans based upon an area's demographic make-up. Thus, two people with the same incomes would not necessarily both qualify for a home loan in a given area because of diversity considerations. It's not here yet, but it will happen if things continue.
The other battlefield concerns local school districts. The push will be for consolidation into "mega districts" where administrators place children based upon diversity considerations, with the additional purpose of removing the last vestiges of local control over public schools. This is also in the offing, as well.
What I find blackly amusing is that these are the same people who want us to revere MLK, but having spent days teaching children the "Content of our character" speech, they then teach them that the *only* thing the district cares about is their skin color. Our town has been dealing with forced redistricting because some of our schools don't match the overall towns diversity quotient. This is of course disrupting families and neighborhoods, and costing us money that could be much better used on the actual schools and teachers and teaching materials.
What's even weirder about it, is that because different towns and cities in CT have different racial make-ups, a given percentage of minority students could be bad for one town because there were too many minority kids, and bad for another because there were too few?!?!?
Since I'll retired or damn close by the time mine give us any grandchildren, I think I know who'll be homeschooling them. Or at least spending the time after school fixing the education and indoctrination they'll be given in the public schools.
Your last paragraph is why my kids attend parochial schools. And BTW, homeschooling and parochial education are being discussed, as well. The Progs cannot allow people to opt out of the system, and so, there will be an increasing number of hurdles thrown at parents who wish to avoid the public system and all it entails. As you might imagine, the discussions are hush-hush, but regionalism and elimination of alternatives to public education are two big ticket items on the NEA/Progressive (BIRM) agenda.
