Glendale is a town in Kane County, Utah, United States. The population was 381 at the 2010 census.

History
Glendale was originally called "Berryville", and under the latter name permanent settlement was first made in 1864. Sources differ whether the town was named for glens and dales near the town site, or after Glendale, Scotland, the native home of a share of the early settlers.

Geography
Glendale is located in western Kane County at an elevation of  in Long Valley, along the East Fork of the Virgin River. U.S. Route 89 passes through the town as it follows the valley, leading southwest  to Orderville and north  to Panguitch.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Glendale has a total area of , all of it land.

Glendale Bench Road leads east from Glendale to the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The rustic and scenic road meets Skutumpah Road, running through the GSENM and ending at one of the GSENM Visitor Centers in Cannonville, near Bryce Canyon.

Demographics

As of the census of 2000, there were 355 people, 116 households, and 88 families residing in the town. The population density was 45.5 people per square mile (17.6/km2). There were 149 housing units at an average density of 19.1 per square mile (7.4/km2). The racial makeup of the town was 99.15% White, 0.56% Native American, and 0.28% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.94% of the population.

There were 116 households, out of which 38.8% had children under 18 living with them, 71.6% were married couples living together, 4.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.3% were non-families. 20.7% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.06, and the average family size was 3.62.

In the town, the population was spread out, with 34.1% under 18, 8.5% from 18 to 24, 21.1% from 25 to 44, 23.1% from 45 to 64, and 13.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 31 years. For every 100 females, there were 107.6 males. For every 100 females aged 18 and over, there were 101.7 males.

The median income for a household in the town was $35,938, and the median income for a family was $38,500. Males had a median income of $24,722 versus $20,000 for females.

History
In 1862 ranchers came to Long Valley, land east of the future Zion National Park, to graze cattle along the East Fork of the Virgin River. Robert and Isabella Berry named the area "Berryville". In 1866 after local indigenous tribes killed the Berrys, the other settlers left.

In 1871 Mormons from the Muddy River settlement in Nevada came to settle, naming their town "Glendale". The people of St. Thomas, Nevada, relocated en masse to Glendale that year, preserving their old ward organization in the new location. By the late 1800s, the Mormon communities in the area had grown in the nearby towns of Orderville and Mt Carmel Junction, and Glendale became part of the United Order, a program of economic and moral reform that began in 1874 under Brigham Young.

On March 29, 1935, Glendale became an incorporated town. The towns of Mount Carmel, Orderville, and Glendale are known as Long Valley.

What we use the data for
The University of Portsmouth processes your personal data, and your special category data, for a variety of purposes, involving all aspects of the administration of your education and your welfare, associated financial matters, use of University facilities and for the purpose of equal opportunities monitoring.
The University of Portsmouth will use your contact details to keep you informed of events relevant to your studies, and to notify you of circumstances in cases of emergency, for example building closures.
Decisions on your academic progress made through the stages of your course, and on the final award you receive from the University at the end of your studies, are made using automated decision-making processes, but samples of the decisions are checked before they are confirmed. You have the right to have decisions made in relation to yourself checked manually.
In order for the University to be able to process your data correctly, it is your responsibility to inform us as soon as possible if any data we hold about you is incorrect or requires updating. We will provide an annual opportunity for you to check your data through the registration process but it remains your responsibility to notify the University via the Student Portal of any changes to your details throughout the year. We also collect, at registration, the contact details of a person nominated by you as someone to contact for you if needed. You must notify that person that we are holding this data, which will only be used in an emergency.
Our legal basis for processing your data
The University's legal basis for processing the majority of your personal data is that the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract you enter into with the University when registering on your course.
The University is also under a legal obligation to process some data concerning you and to provide that data to third parties, for example, to the Office for Students or, where applicable to your course, to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
If we require you to provide any further data after registration, for example if you join the University Gym, take part in volunteering opportunities or go on field trips, we will ask for your consent to process that additional data at the time it is needed. We will let you know at that time why it is needed and who will have access to it.
We will also use your contact details to keep you informed of initiatives relating to your time at the University, for example, careers services or postgraduate studies, the chance to engage in research studies, as well as to provide details of the Alumni Association. Some personal data will be made available to the University's Students' Union (UPSU) in order to contact you, as described elsewhere in this statement. We believe that this processing is necessarily within the University's legitimate interests.
If we process any special category data about you, such as health data, when requesting your information, we will either:
– ask for your specific consent to process this data;
– process your data because we consider it is necessary for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, such as protecting against serious cross-border threats to health; or
– process the data to enable us to promote and maintain equality of opportunity or treatment between different groups of people.
Under the Equality Act 2010, the University has a legal responsibility to make r
Who will have access to your data?
Only those staff within the University who need to have access to the data you provide at registration, in order to administrate your education will have access. Therefore, staff within the service departments of the Department of Student and Academic Administration, Finance and the Library will have access to your data, as will administrative and academic staff within the academic schools and departments in which you study.
Staff within the Careers and Employability Service and the Marketing Department will also have access to your data. If you do not wish to receive communications from these services (emails or text messages) you may either unsubscribe from receiving them at any time or contact the University's Data Protection Officer (details for whom are given at the top of this Statement) to ask for your details to be removed from any contact lists.
Will your data be sent or stored abroad?
Although the University does store some data in the cloud via Google Apps for Education, the servers for the data are EU based and therefore the data will not be stored abroad.
If you study via distance-learning or are registered with a collaborative partner based outside the EEA, we will send your data to you or the collaborative partner directly. This processing will be carried out as part of the contract between the University and either yourself or the collaborative partner.
If your sponsor is based outside the EEA, we will pass data to your sponsor. This processing will be carried out as part of your contract for sponsorship.
The data supplied to UPSU will be stored securely on UPSU servers hosted by Amazon Web Servers, which utilise a global network of servers. For further details of this arrangement, please contact UPSU on hello@upsu.net.
How long will your data be stored?
We will retain your full student record for six years after you have left the University so that we can fulfil our function of recording details of the awards we make, and provide details of your education and references when asked to do so. (After these six years we will retain transcript data only in order to confirm details of your award.)
If your data is held locally for specific purposes, for example, in Student Finance, other retention periods may apply to your data – you will be given more information about this when you are asked for your data.
You are entitled to request a copy of the data you provide to us in an electronic format so that you may pass that data to another body (the right to data portability), as well as to request a copy of the data we hold about you (a Subject Access Request).
You are also entitled to raise an objection to the processing where the processing of data we hold about you is likely to cause you damage or distress, and to request either the rectification of any incorrect data, the restriction of any further processing of your data or the erasure of your data (right to be forgotten).
You have the right to withdraw your consent for processing your personal data where we have originally asked for your consent. However, where we collect your personal data under another legal basis, it may not be possible for us to remove all of your personal data from our records if you request this.
If you require any further information on, or wish to object to, any of the uses to which we put your data, you should contact Samantha Hill, the University's Data Protection Officer on 023 9284 3642 or Samantha.hill@port.ac.uk.
Finally, you have the right to complain about the processing of your data to the UK regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office. For more information about this body and how to make a complaint, please see the ICO website.
Who will receive your data?
It is not possible to list all of the bodies with whom we might have to share your personal data, but the following are examples of when the University will release data about you to third parties, where we have a legitimate reason in connection with your time here at the University to use that data, or where the University is under a legal requirement to provide data:
We will share your contact details, student number, course and study details with the University of Portsmouth's Students' Union (UPSU) in order to help UPSU to communicate with you, and to target those communications, effectively. We will also share with, and request data from, UPSU in relation to ethnicity, gender and disability for statistical planning purposes – this information will not be used to make any decisions about an individual. This data sharing is covered by an Operational Agreement between the University and UPSU, available from the Data Protection Officers of both organisations.
If you are a student registered with the University, but studying with the International College Portsmouth (ICP), the University will hold your student details, and will share that data with ICP, in order for ICP to be able to administer your education at that organisation.
We are legally required to pass some data to government education departments, the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), and to representatives of those bodies such as auditors.
If you have applied for accommodation in halls, we will, where appropriate, share your application details with Unite Students, the private company that operates Trafalgar, Margaret Rule, Rosalind Franklin Halls and Greetham Street Halls, or The Student Housing Company, that operates Catherine House, for accommodation allocation and management of the accommodation agreement.
We will provide data on request to the police and other enforcement agencies in emergencies, and where crime detection or prevention can be aided by its release, for example, responding to information requests from the UK Visas and Immigration Service (UKVI). The University has a duty of care to all of its students and therefore, if the University has a justifiable concern about a student's welfare, the University may pass a student's contact details and information about the concern to an appropriate third party, e.g. the police or a mental health team, to safeguard that student. The University also has a duty of care to the wider community and may pass a student's contact details to the public health authorities if requested
We are required to provide data to the Office for Students (OfS) or to other bodies acting on the OfS's behalf. One such example would be where the University is required to provide student contact details for the National Student Survey.
If your course, or a volunteering opportunity for which you apply, requires a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, the personal data you provide to the University on the DBS application form will be submitted to the University's third-party DBS checking supplier (Due Diligence Checking), which will review the data for obvious inaccuracies/omissions and then submit that data to the DBS. The results of the DBS check are reported back to the University, but the details are sent directly to you, as the applicant.
Data may be released to third parties in relation to financial matters associated with your education. We are required to pass data about you to HESA and some of this data will be passed to other statutory bodies involved with the funding of education. Further information on how your Student Record may be used by HESA can be found on the HESA website. We will provide data to the Student Loans Company and to your devolved Student Finance administration area, as well as to the US Department of Education for direct loan students. We will also provide data to the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) for students enrolled on degree apprenticeships. If necessary, the University will also release data to parties involved in the recovery of debts to the University.
Students are required to provide details of their highest qualifications on entry to the University and this information is recorded on the University's student database. The University and others (for example, the OfS) may check this information with the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) or other institutions to confirm the qualifications obtained.
The University provides student details to Portsmouth City Council in the following circumstances:
for the purpose of confirming eligibility for council tax exemption (we send similar information to Gosport Borough Council)
on request from either the Pollution Control / Noise team or the Anti-Social Behaviour Unit of the Council for the purpose of detection and prevention of anti-social behaviour issues in both residential halls and private accommodation
so that Home and EU students living within the PO1 – 6 postcodes can be invited to register to vote in local and central Government elections as a Portsmouth resident. This data sharing is covered by an Operational Agreement between the University and the Portsmouth City Council, available from the Data Protection Officers of both organisations.
Data may also be shared securely with third-party organisations that host University data, for example, the University's student card supplier, for use in the production of your student card; the University of Northumbria in order to provide out-of-hours IS/Library help; the Graduate Schools' Skills Forge programme; Google Apps for Education and WPM Education that hosts the University's online payments system. This is not an exhaustive list. Each instance of data sharing/hosting is covered by contractual arrangements.
The University uses the TurnitinUK© anti-plagiarism software that could involve some personal data (your name and the University at which you study) being released to other HE institutions for comparison purposes.
Where students are enrolled on courses which are accredited by professional bodies, some identifying data may be passed to the appropriate professional body so that students can be registered with that professional body.
Where students are sponsored by, for example, their employer or embassy or the NHS, the University will provide details of attendance and attainment to the sponsor on request. Requests for any further data will be considered on a case-by-case basis and the University may contact you for your consent to this further disclosure, if appropriate.
The University will not release data to any third person without there being a legitimate reason to do so, except where you ask for this to happen. This means that the University will not release data to banks, friends, relatives (including parents), without your prior agreement. If you wish the University to provide data in these circumstances you should provide written consent to release the data, stating the name and contact details of the individual to whom you wish the data to be sent, and the particular data you agree can be released/discussed.

In comments made to SPIEGEL ONLINE, new Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos categorically rules out his country exiting the euro zone and supports calls for German reparations payments in connection with Nazi war crimes.
Greek President Pavlopoulos: "The thought of Grexit does not even enter my mind."
Time is running out for Greece and its international creditors. If an agreement isn't found by June, the country will face insolvency. The new Greek president, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, has now told SPIEGEL ONLINE his views on the conflict: He rules out the possibility of a Grexit and promises that all the loans made to Greece will be paid back, but he is also critical of past austerity programs.
"Some of the measures imposed on us go beyond EU law," Pavlopoulos said to SPIEGEL ONLINE at his official residence in Athens. "We want to be equal members of Europe."
Among other things, the law professor feels that international lenders' criticisms of the minimum wage and other labor rights in his country are problematic. Pavlopoulos pointed out that in Germany, too, there is a minimum standard of living. "We are not asking for anything more than for the Greek people to enjoy what Germany's Constitutional Court considers as an established social right for the German people," Pavlopoulos said. He also claimed that parts of the austerity programs "were not at all growth friendly, but rather would lead the Greek economy to a recessionary course."
Pavlopoulos is a member of the conservative Nea Dimokratia party and has been in office since March. Earlier in his career, he served as an advisor to former Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis, who led Greece as it transitioned from a military dictatorship to a European democracy. The comments mark the first time the new president has expressed his views on the euro debt dispute to any German media organization.
Greek President Pavlopoulos and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras: "My view is that, increasingly, it is the technocrats who make the decisions and not the politicians."
"Greece in the late 1970s fought a great battle to join Europe," the president noted. For him, he said, it was "not conceivable to see Greece outside of Europe." He also said that he views a Grexit, Greek's possible exit from the euro zone, as unthinkable. "The thought of Grexit does not even enter my mind," he said.
Although Greece is under tremendous financial stress, with the government now forcing hospitals, universities and public agencies to hand over their savings to the central bank. Pavlopoulos stated that his country would fulfill all of its obligations. "We pay everything we owe to the last euro," he said. "We need to keep a balanced budget and gradually decrease our debt." The president also expressed optimism that the dispute over Greece's debt can still be resolved. Pavlopoulos said negotiations for a new bailout program are "entering the home stretch."
After last week's meeting of the Euro Group once again failed to deliver an agreement, most EU politicians do not share this view. Pavlopoulos suspects a power shift to be part of the problem. "My view is that, increasingly, it is the technocrats who make the decisions and not the politicians," he said.
Pavlopoulos argues that Greece's accession to the EU was made possible in large parts by former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing despite the reservations of the European Commission. He said the situation was similar when Greece later joined the euro zone. "I believe that, on, certain issues, Europe should sometimes operate on political decisions, bypassing technocrats, when the technocratic viewpoint is contrary to the grand, long-term goals of the EU," he said.
But unlike her predecessors, German Chancellor Angela Merkel now has to justify multibillion-euro bailout loans to Greece. In light of Greece's dramatic budget situation, Merkel and her Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble do not want to rely on vague reform promises. This has led many Greeks to view the German officials as dictating austerity.
President Pavlopoulos together with SPIEGEL reporters Roland Nelles (left), David Böcking and Giorgos Christides.
Pavlopolous had criticized German policies in the crisis before he became president. In an essay, he accused Germany of placing political and economic interests above the greater goal of European integration. He also suspected that Angela Merkel lacks understanding for the European idea because of her roots in former East Germany.
In his new role, Pavlopoulos has adopted a more conciliatory tone toward Germany. "I believe they want a European Germany and not a Germanic Europe," he said of Merkel and Schäuble. He stressed the "very good" personal relations he had with Schäuble, who used to be his counterpart when Pavlopoulos was Greece's interior minister. Pavlopoulous added that, "I have always been a free thinker, I believe I can speak my mind freely addressing a country that I have great esteem and love for, like Germany."
The Greek president said he is also planning talks with his German counterpart Joachim Gauck. "I will expedite as soon as possible my visit to Germany," he said. Pavlopoulos said he also wants to use the visit to discuss the matter of German reparations payments for Nazi war crimes, which he has long supported. Gauck had asked forgiveness for German war crimes during a visit to Greece last year, athough he did not openly support the call for reparations.
Pavlopoulos called Gauck's statement a important one. But he added that both he and respected German legal experts consider Greece's claims to have "legal validity and it is also our right to use a legal process to satisfy them." He said the two countries should find a common forum to decide the issue, like the International Court of Justice in The Hague. "This is how civilized countries settle their differences," he said.
At the same time, Pavlopoulos clearly denied threats from other Greek politicians to confiscate propery in Greece owned by the German state. "Let me stress that no reasonable person in Greece is thinking about Greece taking unilateral actions," he commented. The Greek president said the seizure of German property was not a consideration. "Such talk is nonsense," he said. Pavlopolous also said he would be open to the idea of a trust fund through which Greek Nazi victims could receive individual compensation. "In principle, this is something we can discuss."
Prokopis Pavlopoulos, 64, has served as the president of Greece since March. His election was backed by the leftist Syriza alliance as well as conservative political parties. Pavlopoulos studied constitutional and administrative law in Paris and has taught as a professor at the University of Athens. He has been an advisor to several conservative Greek prime ministers and has occupied senior posts in a number of Greek governments, including stints as government spokesperson and interior minister. He is seen as a champion of the EU project.
While it is understandable to see how Mr. Pavlopoulos wishes to save his country from ruin, he should not forget that Greece entered the Euro zone by using false figures and economic balances. Of course those responsible within the EU are quite as much to blame, because no effort was taken at the time to examine the facts. However, now that things have gone wrong, it is no good looking at Germany in order to find the Golden Fleece. Both Jason and the 3rd Reich are things of the Past. One can argue of course, as to whether all acts of war are war crimes. Often the point of view can differ according to whose side one is on. Nevertheless, the Bundes Republic is one of the few countries ready to admit being responsible for the atrocities done by its predecessors and this is very much a one-way street. Were we to consider all of its own losses, for example the value of the wealth, property and territories, both public and private which were (against all international laws), illegally confiscated by its opponents after 2 world wars, very little, if anything at all, would be left to pay. Nobody has been found, who is ready to compensate the families of 17 million Germans, who were either killed, or deported from their homelands, after the war had been ended. These displacements, which G. Bush senior, once described as the biggest crime of the 20th century, rarely get a mention.
Finally a smooth comment albeit partially so. But that is only a promise by a person who is more of a symbol than an administrator. I think the matter of reparations for WWII damages should be analyzed by a responsible medium and all facts on agreements signed and money paid so far be made clear for all to see. However, bringing this matter up in such critical times - it happened also in 2010 - only shows immaturity and tendency to divert from the main issue. Should this not comply with its obligations, it would set a precedent that may backfire for Europe in times to come. It is time that Europe says enough is enough with threats, complaints and acrobatic moves. But the question is if immature diplomacy apprentices can act on par with European counterparts! The world is begging for some responsibility!
Do the Germans and the Greek president realize that this commitment implies that Germany should run a permanent trade deficit with Greece? If Greek debt is the result of accumulating years of trade deficit the cancellation can only happen if the trade flows are reversed. It's a shame that when Varoufakis tries to explain this simple fact the reply is hatred from Eurocrats. They are in denial.
Some land to sell you on Cyprus! Gotta love the communists!

3rd Brigade Combat Erected Greenhouse
May 22, 2008 By larryf
Mahmudiyah Receives New Irrigated Growth Center
The coalition soldiers that helped build a greenhouse as well as citizens and farmers that will benefit by the new greenhouse constructed in Mahmudiyah gathered for its grand opening on May 10th. The greenhouse is in the Shukrega area about 25 kilometers due south of Baghdad.
This is a project that is designed to build capacity for the Iraqi Farmers, to aid their efforts to start crops in a protected and sheltered environment. The greenhouse was build on local farm land of Iraqi Farmer Oday Ibrahim Ghatwan Al- Gherem and it will feature a new drip irrigation system. This type of system is new to Iraqi farmers and promises to help get new plant starts off to a great start prior to their transplanting.
"This new project gives local farmers the opportunity to see how effective a greenhouse can be for farmers and how it can give them the advantage," said Captain Benjamin Torpy.

The successes of the greenhouse will then lead to other area farmers throughout Iraq wanting to establish greenhouses for themselves. Greenhouses are a relatively new concept for Iraqi Farmers, and it is an effective method to make sure that young plants get a healthy and robust start in their growth cycle.
The area that the new greenhouse was constructed in has had record low rainfall in recent years, and so this new method of growing young plants has a huge potential positive impact.


InRange TV takes a fascinating look at the history of the designated marksman's rifle. Is anyone really surprised that the Germans were the first to come up with the practical application of the concept?
In this video Karl and Ian are looking at the history and evolution of the DMR concept.
The DMR is the idea of a squad force-multiplier in the form of a rifle with greater precision capability than the standard infantry weapon but without sacrificing all the speed and firepower of that standard weapon.
It is differentiated from the dedicated sniper rifle concept in that the designated marksman stays deployed with an infantry squad and can be called on to participate in fast-moving, dynamic maneuvers with them.


With SharePoint 2013, a decision was made to remove the "Sign in as different user" option. It was a weird decision to take that out and yet leave in the "Sign Out" option considering most people using SharePoint are in a corporate environment with access to Active Directory.
This creates a rather confusing situation for the user where they click the "Sign Out" button, close the browser and when they reopen the browser they are signed in again. To the average end user it looks like they were never actually signed out and that the sign out button is useless.
For me as a developer, I absolutely loved the ability to sign out and sign back in as a different user because it allowed me to quickly switch between users as I was testing my site. Luckily, while the option is now hidden from users, the functionality remains.
Since this link is so incredibly useful to me, I generally end up putting a link to it in my favorites bar when I'm working on testing the site, or even a temporary link in the masterpage for other testers to click on as the site is developed.


Fenders don't always get as much attention as they should. Protecting the wheel well also protects the tire itself, and fenders typically do their jobs rather impressively. The fender is the unsung hero of every car and truck. Unfortunately for truck lovers and other automotive aficionados, the fender is often less than eye-catching, but that doesn't have to be the case. Painted fender flares can help. Whether you want something captivating and jaw-dropping, or you just want something that works itself effortlessly into your vehicle's visual aesthetic and doesn't make a fuss, you can find something that will suit your needs.

Over one million people opposed to Britain's withdrawal from the European Union marched through central London on Saturday to demand a new referendum as the deepening Brexit crisis risked sinking Prime Minister Theresa May's premiership.
Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon told the rally in Parliament Square that "the prime minister and her government have proved completely incapable of delivering on the result of the 2016 vote, which is why it is right that this should now go back to the people."
"I would feel differently if this was a well managed process and the government was taking sensible decisions. But it is complete chaos," Gareth Rae, 59, who travelled from Bristol to attend the demonstration, told Reuters.
In the June 23, 2016 referendum, 17.4 million voters, or 52pc, backed Brexit while 16.1 million, or 48 percent, backed staying in the bloc.

Criminal Defense/
Are People Ever Arrested for No Reason?
By Ephrat Livni, Esq. on June 08, 2016 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
Technically, no one ever gets arrested for nothing. An arrest must be based on probable cause, and cause can be based on a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing and other evidence articulated by a police officer. But over-zealous officers do exist and the police can make mistakes.
Sometimes the mistakes are grave and result in serious injustices, even death. Sometimes the mistake is less extreme, but people still suffer unnecessarily. Innocent people suspected of committing a crime do end up doing jail time. Let's look at two alarming and instructive examples from The Huffington Post's collection of unnecessary arrest stories from around the country.
Spaghetti Sauce, Not Meth
Sometimes it's best to stop for lunch when you're on the road. A Georgia woman was arrested after being pulled over for a traffic violation. Cops searched her bag, based on her allegedly suspect behavior, and found a spoon with an encrusted substance on it. The 23-year-old said she'd been eating cold canned spaghetti in the car, tossed the can, and threw the spoon in her bag to return it to a friend.
The officer did not believe her, claiming she had sores on her face (presumably indicating meth addiction). His field tests on the crusty spoon supposedly came back positive for methamphetamine. But when the spoon was tested in a police lab it came back negative for drugs. All there was on it was spaghetti sauce.
So, if the defendant had accepted a plea as was offered, just to get out of jail, she would now have a permanent criminal record. But to avoid a record, the innocent woman who had no money for bail (or a decent lunch apparently) had to sit in jail for a couple of weeks. All that for a bad meal.
Keeping Clean With Homemade Soap
A couple in Pennsylvania, also in their twenties, was arrested for possession of cocaine based on some homemade soap they had packed in a bag in their car. The officer smelled marijuana in the car and conducted a search. He found no drugs in the car but there was some suspect homemade soap.
A field test came back positive for cocaine, per the police, but the lab test was negative. While the couple waited for the results, they sat in custody, unable to post three-quarters of a million dollars bail between them. They spent weeks in jail waiting for the lab results to come back and their charges to be dropped.
Seriously, People
An arrest based on a mistake can create serious chaos in a person's life and have consequences far beyond the inconvenience of a night in jail. For example, the spaghetti spoon holder at one point was released but failed to appear in court, so was picked up later, re-arrested, and spent more time in custody.
Arrests and jail time can mean lots of fines and added obligations, so even if you were innocent but miss an appearance or a required payment, you can end up in violations of the terms of your release. A small mistake on the part of police can turn into a major headache in the life of the accused.
If you are accused of a crime, however minor or grave, speak to a lawyer. As these stories demonstrate, not everything that the police do or say is right or trustworthy, and it's important to have able representation for your defense. Many attorneys consult for free or a minimal fee and will be happy to assess your case.

Hello, I'm from argentina, and would like to share with you this figures that were released in my country on the early 90's by Jocsa, a toy manufacturer that was popular for selling Rambo, Terminator and some other lines.
they were basicly a remake, with a different and heavier plastic, of the super battle collection figures. With a special particularity, in the years they were launched, the first DB saga not Z wab being aired, so many of the characters were totally strange, thats why the manufacturers made a color variant of kid gohan and future trunks, and called them goku and bulma respectively (hahahaha). Also the cards were really poor.
Awesome! I have an incomplete checklist for Jocsa here that was made with information from a member of DBT. Are you the same member perhaps? Her (I think it was a girl) name on there was Juuhachi.

What Makes them special is that they have added several features over the decades that none of their competitors sport, like social campaigns, surveys, and an event management tool. These contribute to the varied collection of email options in addition to automations and newsletters that are recurring.
In Addition to these choices, they also boast a Market with over 400 apps and integrations which cater for even the most market of merchandise. Yet despite attributes and these flashy numbers, curiosity about Constant Contact seems to be on the decrease, at least according to Google Trends. Enough reason for us to have a look at Constant Contact's ins & outs and check whether it's still applicable in the 21st century.
If You're choosing an email Marketing tool for the business, you could do a lot worse compared to Constant Contact (which begins at $20 per month). Then the business offers a 6-day free trial if you want to try out a few of the features without committing. This review looks at the Email plan, which supports up to 500 contacts. Were it not for a few technical hiccups that were unexplained, Constant Contact could have been an easy pick for our choice.
How Can Constant Contact pile up against the Competition for businesses with 2,500 connections? It carries a $45-per-month price tag that is top. Email marketing tools also have a cap on the number of messages you can send in a month but Constant Contact doesn't.
Constant Contact is easy to use and has lots Of help options, starting with the information icons located alongside disciplines and options describing what they are Knowledge Base articles, and trainers available. Constant Contact has a Task page that lists the status of different tasks, such as uploaded contacts, so that you understand what is happening in the background.
Phone support Isn't 24/7 but the hours are Still fairly generous, going from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the week, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. Chat is available, and the brokers will call you to ensure you have.
Constant Contact offers a number of plans Depending on the size of your subscriber base. The least expensive plan is $20 a month for as many as 500 subscribers and $45 for up to 2,500. A plan prices $335 for 50,000 and $195 for $10,000 subscribers. Price-wise, it is not too different from Campaigner. You can sign up for other add-on services, for example EventSpot ($20 per month for a single event; $25 for up to five occasions ) for event registrations, and research ($10 per month) to conduct surveys (all of which can be included at no extra charge on the Email Plus program ). The fundamental account comes to keep images used in the campaigns with a Library. MyLibrary Plus ($5 per month) expands your storage to 1 GB. Newsletter Archive ($5 per month) generates a widget which can be added to a site on which you may display links to around 100 mails. This is a if you would like your customers to be able to see your messages that are older.
The free trial Provides you access to all of These features for 60 days however you can send up to 100 emails. The trial is a great way to get used to the platform for a restricted number of messages. When you're sure about the platform, update to the paid version and start blasting away. There's also a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is uncommon in this space.
Once you're satisfied with your newsletter, You can send it immediately or schedule it for after (in 5-minute periods, such as 3:05 a.m., 3:10 a.m., and so forth ). We couldn't locate a recurring schedule to send messages on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis the way Campaigner does, or to send messages based on the local time in the receiver's place, as GetResponse can.
The Business also announced a new Attribute named Action Blocks, which enable marketers to add polls or RSVP cubes to standard emails. This permits recipients to respond to messages with a single click without having to leave the email inbox and go to a web page.
You can monitor once you've sent a newsletter Its success by using the accounts tab. The dashboard displays the fundamentals, including unsubscribe requests, and opens, clickthroughs, bounces. A handy bar chart shows open prices and a graph compares performance across multiple campaigns. Users may also select up to five emails to compare high speed results side by side. The report has a handy Refresh button so that you may observe real-time outcomes. It's not like MailChimp in which you've got to manually load the pages. When we opened emails and clicked on the links, they had been registered nearly immediately.
The Resource Center offers links to Information about typical clickthrough rates by industry. You can also look at comparative metrics to figure out if your degree of involvement with your clients is improving or declining over the previous three months. The mobile app is useful if you need to observe the campaign performance from your mobile device.
When we used the shape Address, we repeatedly received an error message but it didn't say what had gone wrong. We were motivated to hit on the last button to go back and fix the problem but we could not because the page had expired out of our browser (Firefox) cache. After a few tries, the whole webpage crashed. This is an unusual experience, to say the least. Constant Contact has assured us its infrastructure has greatly improved since our first test and that this is unlikely to occur again.
The document upload import, and CRM Migration options, on the other hand, were easy to use and secure. We think most people would wind up using these choices. We monitored the upload progress under"Contacts: Activity" and was notified while the import was complete. Like Campaigner, Constant Contact allows Mailinator and other disposable speeches. It is too bad many services don't comply with the case of GetResponse$15.00 in GetResponse, which filters out famous disposable domains. Constant Contact instead flags contacts that are likely to be transactional or other such email addresses so the user can choose whether to remove or keep them.
Our only quibble with the Contact Manager is That it's a hassle to edit the user records. After we pasted our listing and cut, we dropped in addresses. We did not have other fields, such as address or name. We needed to load each listing and update the subjects, to bring this. This was not that straightforward because the pages were slow to load in our testing. Since we can see the whole list in Contact Manager, then it would have been nice to be able to just click on the missing area, enter, and just keep going straight down the page. So, lesson learned: Be sure to have each of the applicable fields before uploading the titles, populated from the listing.
Constant Contact also lets you produce forms That clients can use to register for emails and newsletters. These forms may be hosted on your own site or on Constant Contact's servers. You can segment the consumers based on if they used procedures or the form, which may be helpful. The business also recently announced a new sign-up form editor that is intended to allow users to produce inline forms which may be embedded on a site as well as pop-up forms that could be customized to show after a set amount of time or when a visitor tries to leave the web site, the business stated.
Constant Contact demands you to confirm that You have approval from your whole record –no purchased lists allowed! Since there is absolutely no way to confirm you have permission from each individual receiving messages you also can not use group addresses such as sales @ or advertising @ addresses or distribution lists. You might create autoresponders, recorded under the button, to ship automatically every time a user is added to some list. We used the templates to construct a Welcome newsletter .
If you do not need these features, However, then Constant Contact is a superb choice. Should you want a bit more flexibility in your marketing plan, then have a look at email marketing Editors' Choices Campaigner and MailChimp instead.
That's because, unlike other tools, such as Editors' Choice advertising automation systems Pardot and HubSpot, Constant Contact does not doesn't offer branching logic. It focuses on just two triggers to start automation campaigns. For example, an automation workflow can be started by you whenever someone achieves a landmark, like a birthday or anniversary as a customer or joins a list. However, you can not change automationsbased on whether or not somebody opened an email, forwarded an email, or clicked on a link.
Automation platforms automatic more smart and, well, compared to advertising tools, make life easier for marketers and personalized for customers. Additionally, Constant Contact doesn't provide A/B testing (they do provide subject line A/B testing), no research advertising inclusion, and the limited workflows it is possible to create don't offer you drag-and-drop builders, which are pretty much standard nowadays. If you require basic automation for second and first interactions with customers, then Constant Contact is a reliable automation program. If you would like sequencing and adaptive workflows that adapt to your customers' specific activities, then Constant Contact is not powerful enough to compete at the marketing automation space.
The issue, these days, is that there are Lots of email Tools that offer even more than Constant Contact, and also for a whole lot less money. This includes user experience, but also not just features. In reality, for the volume you pay with Constant Contact, you could find yourself using more powerful tools like ActiveCampaign and GetResponse.

Can Cam Talbot Keep This Up Next Year?
Photo Credit: Brace Hemmelgarn (USA TODAY Sports)
By Tony Abbott - August 12, 2021
Ask any Minnesota Wild fan why the team surged from barely making a 24-team postseason to a no-doubt playoff team last year, and they'll likely say "Kirill Kaprizov." They're not wrong, as Kaprizov's presence was revolutionary. But that ignores a major factor in the Wild's Renaissance, though: Their goaltending.
The 2019-20 version of the Wild were a good, if unspectacular team, hamstrung by horrible goaltending. Devan Dubnyk's collapse was complete, as he posted a dreadful .890 save percentage en route to a 12-15-2 record. Backup Alex Stalock did his best to facilitate a late surge (.910 save percentage), but it would have been too little, too late if not for the expanded playoff.
Bill Guerin shipped Dubnyk to San Jose as part of his Great Veteran Purge of 2020. Then he signed Cam Talbot to replace him, and Talbot brought the stability neither Dubnyk or Stalock could. Talbot finished 16th in the NHL with a .916 save percentage, and just having the goaltending be middle-of-the-pack worked wonders. Minnesota had a 19-8-5 record in games Talbot started, a 107-point pace over 82 games.
In fact, Talbot stepped up when the Vegas Golden Knights were able to shut down Minnesota's scoring in the postseason. He went toe-to-toe with Marc-Andre Fleury in the first six games of the series, posting a .937 save percentage. In particular, he stole Games 1 and 5, winning both despite facing a combined 80 shots on goal.
So Year 1 of the Talbot Experience was a success. Sure, they'll need a goalie in two years. But they're set for now.
Perhaps. But Minnesota has put itself in a position where they're relying on an aging goaltender again. Wild fans should all know how this plays out.
Talbot had a strong season at age-33. So did Niklas Backstrom, whose age-33 season saw him put up a .919 save percentage. At age-34, a late-season collapse fueled a 10-point drop to a .909 save percentage. The next season, he ceased to be a useful goalie. Dubnyk's decline came even faster, falling from a .913 at age-32 to the aforementioned .890 in 2019-20.
It's not just Minnesota history Talbot's fighting against, it's a league-wide phenomenon. Garik16 of HockeyGraphs wrote about goalie aging curves in 2014, with some interesting conclusions. It turns out, goalie aging curves don't necessarily work like skaters, who often remain steady in their performance until their early 30s. Goalie decline starts earlier, and is constant and gradual.
According to Garik's findings, goalies lose an average of three or four points of save percentage entering their age-34 season. You can't use that to necessarily predict Talbot's individual performance, as goaltending is far from easy to project. He may improve from last season, or he may get worse. All we can say for sure is it's more likely that he's going to get worse.
And perhaps likelier to get way worse than not. From 2010-11 to 2019-20, 22 goalies have played 30-plus games at age 33. Looking at how their age-34 seasons played out is troubling. Just five of the group saw their save percentage improve by five or more points. Five more stayed within four points of their previous save percentage. Eleven saw their performance drop by five or more points, with seven of them experiencing a 10-plus point drop-off.
Since the starting point for Talbot is fairly average, in the grand scheme of things, any decline will be noticeable. Even a small decline of three save percentage points drops him into the 20s, league-wide. A steep one puts Minnesota back into the situations they had with Backstrom and Dubnyk.
Thankfully, Minnesota should still have a solid defense, even with all their turnover. Dmitry Kulikov and Jon Merrill are drop-offs offensively from Ryan Suter and Carson Soucy, but there's little difference defensively. They have a lot less depth, though, meaning a couple of key injuries could give Talbot an unexpectedly tough workload.
Another problem Minnesota had with previous aging goalies was their lack of a viable backup. In Backstrom's case, Josh Harding's multiple sclerosis diagnosis ruined their plans for a gradual transition in net. They had to rely on the then-unreliable young Darcy Kuemper, necessitating the Dubnyk trade. And of course, when Dubnyk's rapid decline started, the Wild just had Stalock.
Now Minnesota has Kaapo Kähkönen, a rookie who started the season strong (.927 save percentage in his first 16 games), and fell apart down the stretch (.858 in his last 8). But hey, it's not uncommon for rookies to struggle. In fact, Kähkönen struggled in his first AHL season (.908 save percentage) before winning the league's Goalie of the Year honors in his sophomore season (.927).
But this brings us to another conclusion in Garik's findings, one that is fairly shocking: Goalie aging curves don't see young goalies improve past the age of 24. They get worse. This starts out much more gradually, and of course, there are exceptions, but starting at age 25, goalies start to decline.
Unless Kähkönen turns out to be an exception, that's bad news for him, as he turns 25 this weekend. His body of work consists of just 29 NHL games — a minuscule sample size for goalies — but the early returns aren't particularly encouraging. He has a .904 career save percentage, while taking on one of the easiest workloads in the league. If that's his true talent level, the Wild have another Stalockian backup, a dangerous position to be in with an aging starter.
The Wild are facing a lot of issues that threaten to derail the Wild from building on last year's success. They're in the midst of navigating the murky waters of contract negotiations for Kaprizov and Kevin Fiala. The plan to improve at center seems to be "Pray Marco Rossi can step into the NHL after playing five games in 18 months." They've already been impacted by the Zach Parise and Ryan Suter buyout hell.
Fortunately, they do have a long-term succession plan for Talbot, having drafted goalie super prospect Jesper Wallstedt in July. But for the Wild to be successful between now and then, the goaltending has to hold up. It's possible Talbot and Kähkönen can bridge that gap, but the numbers are against them. If they can't beat the odds, the wait for Wallstedt could be long and painful.

Potential Wasn't Enough To Keep Rem Pitlick In Minnesota

Sri Lanka and India are facing pivotal moments, both for their future, and the future of South Asia as a whole. Both countries' drives towards religious hegemony have left little place for Christians and Muslims, a factor which will certainly lead to more instability and intolerance in the region.
Sri Lanka: Buddhist nationalists vindicated
Sri Lanka was the site of the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, in which over 250 people were killed when terrorists targeted a number of churches and hotels across the country. In the aftermath of the bombings, there were reports of violent attacks against Muslims and an increase in anti-Muslim prejudice. Some reprisals against the Muslim population have been carried out by Christians, in contrast to the previous relative harmony between the two communities as they both battled intolerance from sections of the Sinhalese Buddhist population.
Furthermore, Buddhist nationalist groups such as the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), who have been portraying Islam as a threat to both Buddhism and Sri Lanka for years, consider their stance vindicated by the bombings.

The promise of an inclusive India?
As Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) starts its second innings in government after one of the most bitter, vicious and polarising election campaigns India has witnessed, he has been speaking of an aspirational and inclusive India.
The BJP-led coalition National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured 350 seats of the 542 seats in the Lok Shaba (parliamentary) elections, with their majority growing from 25% in 2009 to 45% in 2019. Given the BJP's Hindu nationalist agenda, this success gives rise to concerns that BJP-controlled areas may be subject to increased FoRB violations.
With exceptions in the south, for example in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of Puducherry, the BJP made fresh progress in West Bengal and Odhisa, and continued to tighten its grip on existing stronghold states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Despite the Southern states remaining largely free from the BJP, FoRB monitoring in the South will need to be stepped up, particularly with the party's win in West Bengal and Odhisa, states that have recorded a rise in FoRB violations.

India: A rude awakening in an election year
Dr Shashi Tharoor, the former Under Secretary-General of the United Nations, once described Narendra Modi as a paradoxical Prime Minister who says one thing and does another.
Coming into power in 2014 on egalitarian slogans like "ache din aane wale hain" (good days are coming) and "sabka saath, sabka vikas" (togetherness with all and development for all), Modi appealed to the corporate and middle class groups who were already beginning to resent the Congress Party, which was plagued with a series of corruption scandals. Posturing as the "development visionary" while presiding as Gujarat's Chief Minister (2001-2014), he was fielded as the best candidate who could fix India's decaying economy and good governance.
This clearly was not the case, as the reckless almost overnight demonetization had a drastic impact, particularly on lower income groups.
The promise of good days is far from being realised. For the religious minorities that make up approximately 16.3% of the population the last five years have been anything but favourable.

India's general election: The church in Jharkhand under direct attack by the state government
In the lead up to India's elections from 11th April-19th May, CSW is focusing on some of the issues faced by religious minorities in the country.
Last month, CSW's South Asia Team Leader detailed the anti-conversion narratives that are often used to fuel religious intolerance. In this post, a guest contributor from Jharkhand state, whose name has been kept anonymous for security purposes, outlines the spread of hate speech by government officials in the state:
"On 11 August 2017 the front page of all newspapers in Jharkhand published an advertisement sponsored by the state government with a photograph of Jharkhand Chief Minister Shri Raghuvar Das and Mahatma Gandhi which misused the statement of Shri Mahatma Gandhi claiming that "If Christian missionaries feel that only conversion to Christianity is the path to salvation, why don't you start with me or Mahadev Desai? Why do you stress on conversion of the simple, illiterate, poor and forest-dwellers? These people can't differentiate between Jesus and Mohammad and are not likely to understand your preachings. They are mute and simple, like cows. These simple, poor, Dalit and forest-dwellers, whom you make Christians, do so not for Jesus but for rice and their stomach."
"There is enough place in state prison for all the pastors and preachers if they continue to carry out missionary activity in the state."

GSA Begins Work on IT Modernization Centers of Excellence
Mar 20, 2018 | 11:50 am

Another important piece of the emerging Federal IT modernization ecosystem is in place now that the General Services Administration (GSA) has given four companies the greenlight to start work on the first phase of five IT Modernization Centers of Excellence (CoEs).
The CoEs are an integral part of the Trump administration's government-wide IT modernization plan. They will provide agencies with consulting and IT engineering services to help them dramatically improve the way they design services and interact with their customers.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) volunteered to be the first agency to develop Centers of Excellence, and GSA and administration officials hope other agencies will replicate CoEs across the Federal government.
"Getting these phase-one contracts awarded for the Centers of Excellence is really important for keeping up the momentum for IT modernization," said Mike Hettinger, a former Capitol Hill staffer and now president of The Hettinger Strategy Group. "We are still waiting on funding for the GSA IT Modernization Fund. But to get these contracts in place to begin to plan for what activities the Centers of Excellence will undertake is a critical first step," he said.
It also appears that GSA awarded contracts to contractors who know their way around GSA and understand the broader issues GSA will face as the government moves forward with the CoE initiative, Hettinger noted.
To perform the work at USDA, GSA issued the awards to SIE Consulting Group for Cloud Adoption; McKinsey & Company, Inc. for IT Infrastructure Optimization; ICF Incorporated, LLC for Customer Experience; Kaiser Associates, Inc. for Contact Center; and ICF Incorporated, LLC for Service Delivery Analytics.
Beginning with USDA, each CoE will tackle distinct tasks. Each CoE will begin with an assessment and planning phase, which will pave the way for the development of a roadmap. The roadmap should allow the USDA to successfully implement centralized, function-specific talent, solutions and acquisition vehicles, according to the GSA. The roadmap will also provide for documented and scalable best-practices that can be rapidly spread to and adopted by other agencies throughout the government.
GSA tapped Bob DeLuca, most recently the chief information officer at the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), to implement the day-to-day operations of the CoE initiative. DeLuca led several major transformation efforts at OPIC and brings 20 years of experience in technology, business, and the U.S. military.
"DeLuca will serve as the director of the Centers of Excellence and comes to GSA with technical experience in enterprise software, cloud adoption, infrastructure planning, and execution," said Joanne Collins Smee, GSA's acting director of Technology Transformation Services (TTS) and deputy commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service.
The CoE initiative was formally introduced through a Request for Information (RFI) issued on October 20, 2017. Additional information was released at an industry day held at the White House on December 14, 2017.
The CoEs tie into a broader ecosystem for IT modernization across government. The Modernizing Government Technology (MGT) Act laid the foundation for IT modernization across the Federal government. The White House's Federal IT Modernization Report will track those agency efforts and provide action items to aid in the move towards more secure, agile, and cost-effective infrastructures. The GSA-housed CoEs compliment those efforts with implementation of technology as well as consulting and IT engineering services. So, it will be critical for agencies going forward to become a part of this government-wide ecosystem for IT modernization.

US Supreme Court Declines to Stop Covid Vax Mandate For Maine Healthcare Workers
Published October 19, 2021 at 3:52pm
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an emergency appeal attempting to stop a Covid vaccine mandate for healthcare workers in Maine, the Associated Press reported.
Democrat Governor Janet Mills in August announced that healthcare workers in Maine must be fully vaccinated by October 29.
Far-left Justice Stephen Breyer, who oversees complaints for the First Circuit, rejected the emergency appeal in the first time the highest court of the land has weighed in on a statewide Covid vaccine mandate.
The Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of approximately 2,000 healthcare workers in August.
After bouncing around federal and appeals courts, Breyer rejected the emergency appeal.

Q: invert singular matrix on python I have to read multiple data from csv files, and when I want to invert matrix from csv data, I get this:
numpy.linalg.linalg.LinAlgError: singular matrix

and the process get stuck on this section :
J = np.mat([dtdx,dtdy,dtdz]).transpose()
dd = np.mat(ttcal-tt)
dm = (scipy.linalg.inv(J.transpose()*J))*((J.transpose())*(dd.transpose()))

and data from "J" like this :
[[-6.81477651e-03 -7.90320450e-03  6.50533437e-05]
 [-6.71080644e-03 -6.00135428e-03  6.50533437e-05]]

and data from "dd" like this :
[[0.00621772 0.00537531]]

i has check this data and i find this :
tes = J.transpose()*J

and the result like this :
[[ 9.14761019e-05  9.41324993e-05 -8.79884397e-07]
 [ 9.41324993e-05  9.84768945e-05 -9.04538042e-07]
 [-8.79884397e-07 -9.04538042e-07  8.46387506e-09]]

I need to invert this matrix but this data is singular matrix. I have to try on matlab r2017b and running well.
I need to solve this problem on python.

A: Have you tried using pseudo-inverse numpy.linalg.pinv instead? It's supposed to deal with these situations.
B = np.linalg.pinv(a)

But I would suggest to check that you really calculated correctly your matrix and a singular matrix is supposed to appear.

A: If you are sure the calculations you made are correct and it is what you wanted, then you can go for a psuedo inverse for the singular matrix that you are having.
It can be done in python like this..
mat = np.array([[ 9.14761019e-05,  9.41324993e-05, -8.79884397e-07],
 [ 9.41324993e-05,  9.84768945e-05, -9.04538042e-07],
 [-8.79884397e-07, -9.04538042e-07,  8.46387506e-09]])

p_inv = np.linalg.pinv(mat)

print(p_inv)

# output

array([[-1.00783988e+13,  5.50963966e+11, -9.88844703e+14],
       [ 5.50963966e+11, -3.01194390e+10,  5.40580308e+13],
       [-9.88844703e+14,  5.40580308e+13, -9.70207468e+16]])

Handing-over of keys was very well managed through SMS contact before my arrival and a friendly young lady meeting me at the entrance and showing me the flat. A small bottle of wine and some biscuits were on the table, mineral water and beer in the fridge. There was even coffee (and filters) for the coffee-maker. In fact, staying for just the weekend and being out all day, I did not have to buy any provisions. The flat is on the top floor and has large windows, which means that it is very bright. As the windows are on the inner side, it is quiet. The area is in a relatively quiet zone anyway, although the city centre is only a 5-minute walk away.

Even if there were some I don't remember them as they were insignificant.
The noise by the central heating system (in winter) was a bit disturbing. Connection to the Internet sometimes failed but only for very brief periods.
Our host didnt show up and when we had to do the check out we asked him to store our lugagge but his answer was negative and rude saying that he didnt have store room and he did not anything to help us. Future guest should have in mind that they will have to carry their lugagge around.
The room was correct, also was the location.
I think it would be great to have proper sheets above the fitted sheets, its just a different feel.
The washing machine really helps alot, if the pillow can be a little harder it will be even better.
The host was incredibly helpful. I had some issues with my flight, nevertheless, the host was always keeping me informed about the logistic arrangements. The apartment is very close to metro station and the airport. A very nice area, and very good facilities. Everything you need is there. I highly recommend it!
The property was very modern and clean. The studio style apartment was perfect for our short stay and felt very safe. The Spar across the road provided anything we needed and it was only a short walk to the centre with many bars and markets on route. There are also some lovely restaurants nearby. The host was excellent - very informative and welcoming. We would stay here again.
Kettle was not working. Loose power socket in the living room.
Close to train station. Apartment is well kept and feels like a home away from home. Ease of communication with owner. Overall brilliant stay.
The radiators would have needed venting because they made some noise (but heated OK). I guess this will have been fixed meanwhile, as I informed the hosts at the end of my stay.
Clean place,good location and well equpied apartment.
