Why Do Cats Have Whiskers? 16 Interesting Whisker Facts
Last updated: Feb 01 2023
The charming and beguiling cat and her irresistible whiskers. Part of the cat's charm comes in the form of those whiskers, but have you ever wondered why cats even have them? What is the overall purpose of a cat's whiskers? You might be surprised to learn that the whiskers are not a part of your cat just so she can look adorable, but they actually serve an important purpose. In actual fact, whiskers perform a number of essential functions. So, please read on, and we'll divulge some interesting facts about your cat's whiskers.
1. Whiskers are essentially thicker hair.
Hair is made from natural fibrous proteins called keratin, which is also what whiskers are made from. However, whiskers are as much as two to three times thicker and stronger than the hair found in your cat's coat. The roots of the whiskers are also at least three times deeper than regular hair.
2. Whiskers are also called
Vibrissae come from the Latin word vibrãre, which translates into "to vibrate." The term vibrissae are used to describe the whiskers not just on cats but for any mammals that have whiskers. Interestingly, this term is also used to identify the longer feathers found at the sides of the mouth of insect-eating birds.

3. There are whiskers found on different parts of the body.
The mystacial vibrissae (a fancy way of saying facial whiskers) are the most noticeable, but a cat also has whiskers on the chin, above the eyes, near the ears, and on the front legs. The whiskers on their legs help cats to track their prey and allows them to judge the distance and size of the prey.
4. Most cats have 12 whiskers.
Some cats may have less, but the majority of cats have 12 whiskers that lie in four rows and are found above their upper lips. All of these whiskers are highly sensitive as the hair follicles from where they grow are full of nerve endings and blood vessels.
5. Whiskers help cats to "see".
Indoor cats tend to be nearsighted and outdoor cats are farsighted. However, because their eyes are so large, cats are unable to focus on anything that is less than 1 foot in front of them. This is where their sensitive whiskers come in handy, as the whiskers will tell the cat what is in front of them by touch. The whiskers will give the cat information on the exact location, the texture, and the size of the item, even if it's in the dark.
6. Whiskers help cats to "sense".
The slightest movement in the air will be sensed by your cat's whiskers, which helps the cat perceive any danger. They also allow the cat to determine if they can fit into any tight places. The facial whiskers are about as long as the cat's body is wide and help the cat to figure out the dimensions of spaces.

7. Whiskers are very sensitive.
As already mentioned, whiskers are embedded in the hair follicles very deeply and are surrounded by blood vessels and nerves, making them very sensitive to touch. While this is very handy for your cat, it can also cause her extreme pain if the whiskers are pulled or if you push them in the opposite direction from which they grow. So, don't mess with a cat's whiskers.
8. A cat's mood can be determined by the whiskers.
Your cat's tail, body language, and ears are the typical methods you use to understand what kind of mood she's in. But did you know the whiskers also tell a story?
If your cat's whiskers are pulled back tightly against her face, she feels threatened or is angry or scared. If they are relaxed and not really moving, then your cat is feeling content and comfortable. If the whiskers are suddenly all bunched up and pointing forward, then your cat is alert and excited and ready to pounce.

9. There is something called "whisker stress".
If you notice your cat frequently flipping food out of her bowl and eating it off the floor, it could be that she's a bit quirky. But in some cases, she might be suffering from whisker stress. If her food bowl is narrow, then her whiskers are being pressed against the sides of the bowl while eating, which might be uncomfortable for her. You could consider putting her food on a small plate or in a wider bowl.
10. Whiskers help cats land on their feet.
The whiskers' ends have sensory organs called proprioceptors, which notify the brain of what each part of the cat's body is doing and where they are. These tiny "radars" will not only alert the cat about the slightest changes in her environment, but they give her the ability to jump long distances, and she'll always land on her feet.

11. Never cut whiskers.
Whiskers absolutely need protection as they are, quite clearly, very important for your cat. If you're grooming your cat, never attempt to pluck or cut the whiskers. Not only is plucking extremely painful, but cutting them will leave your cat confused and disoriented and removes her ability to be aware of herself and her surroundings.
12. Most whiskers are white.
Regardless of what color of cat you have, you might notice that she has white whiskers. It is believed that before the whisker emerges from the skin, they are probably a different color but will lose the color before it actually appears on the top layer of skin. Essentially, the whisker does not retain or even access melanin, which is why they are usually white.

13. Whiskers do shed.
If you notice one of your cat's whiskers on the couch, it's nothing to be concerned about as whiskers do naturally shed from time to time. They do grow back.
14. Whiskers change color as cats age.
Similar to humans, some cats may start to sprout some extra white hair as they age, but their white whiskers might do the opposite and begin to darken to black.

15. Some whiskers are very short.
Certain breeds of cats develop short whiskers, such as the Devon and Cornish Rex. The Devon Rex is prone to short whiskers that are quite fragile and tend to break off, and the Cornish Rex has short and curly whiskers. The Sphynx breed is hairless and might have short, curled whiskers or might not have whiskers at all.
16. Some whiskers are very long.
Would you be surprised to know that there's a Guinness World Record for a cat with the longest whiskers? It belongs to "Fullmoon's Miss American Pie," but she is also known as Missi, a Maine Coon whose whiskers were measured at 7.5 inches in 2005. However, a homeless cat from Somerset, England, and was aptly named Whiskers, had her whiskers measured at a whopping 12 inches in 2014!

So, there you have it! Whiskers are an essential part of your cat's body. Little did you know that they were more than just a cute addition to an already adorable pet. Whiskers give your cat protection and allow her to be mobile and even acrobatic. Without their whiskers, cats would be pretty ordinary indeed.

Demography of Churchill Park
Figure 1 Population of Newfoundland and Labrador by 20 year age groups, 2011.
According to the Newfoundland and Labrador Statistics Agency, as of 2011 the population of Newfoundland and Labrador can be broken down as follows: 20% under 20 years of age, 25% between 20 and 39 years of age, 32% between the ages of 40 and 59, 19% between the ages of 60 and 79, and 4% over the age of 80, with a mean age of 42.
Figure 2: Population of Canada by 20-year age group, 2011
The population of Canada as a whole, by comparison, is slightly younger, with a larger portion of the population being under 40 years of age than in Newfoundland and Labrador, and, in turn, a significantly smaller portion of the population being over 40, as well as a mean age of 40. This disparity is likely to be the result of high rates of outmigration in the province among the working-age population.
Figure 3: in-/out-migration in Newfoundland and Labrador between 1991-2011
In 1991, the outmigration rate of Newfoundland and Labrador was approximately 2,000 per year. This rate, affected by the Moratorium of 1992, increased steadily over the next six years before peaking at nearly 10,000 per year in 1997. Although outmigration has since stabilised around a net 0, the 15 years of heavy outmigration (with the vast majority of emigrants being between the ages of 15 and 30) saw Newfoundland and Labrador stripped of a huge portion of its young working population, who would have contributed to the economy, as well as parented the next generation of children in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Figure 4: Population of the Churchill Park area by 20-year age group, 2011
The population of the Churchill Park area is even older than that of Newfoundland and Labrador as a whole, with 60% of the population in the area being over the age of 40, an over-60 portion three times larger than that of the provincial population, and a mean age of 47, which is seven years older than the national average. The presence of apartment complexes in the area is likely to be a factor here, as apartments are more affordable than houses with mortgages and thus more reasonable for many retirees.
Figure 5: Population of Newfoundland and Labrador by age group in 2001, 2006, and 2011
Looking at the age demographics of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001, 2006, and 2011 reveals a rather dramatic decline in the portion of the under-40 age group, coupled with a significant increase of the older population. This is, once again, likely a result of outmigration of the young population in search of employment, which would also lead to a decrease in birth rates.
Figure 6: Population of the Churchill Park area by age group in 2001, 2006, and 2011
The age demography of the Churchill Park area, by comparison, is actually much more stable than that of Newfoundland and Labrador as a whole, with demographic changes similar to those in the rest of the province occurring, but much less pronounced. This is likely due to the area's status as a middle-to-upper-class neighbourhood, which would isolate it from the low-income job losses of the prior decades, as well as the presence of apartment complexes in the area, which would attract an older population regardless of the demographic changes occurring in the rest of the city and province.

thank you for your help , i really don t see anything wrong on the code

A: You cannot execute an action when the command button is outside a form. Change your code to the following:
<h:form>
<h:outputText value="#{accountController.message}" escape="false">       </h:outputText>
<h:panelGrid columns ="2" cellpadding="2" cellpacing="2">

   <h:commandButton value = "login" action="#{utilisateursController.login()}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>

Hope this works out for you!

A: You need to change some code as per following

*

*You need to put all element inside form body like all inputs and
submit button

*You need to change your manage bean name
utilisateursController instead of UtilisateursController
I means
@ManagedBean(name="utilisateursController") instead of @ManagedBean(name="UtilisateursController")

Hope you will fix your problem!

Battle snakes and sandstorms with Chanel Iman in her 2015 outtakes!
When we took Chanel Iman to Monument Valley for her 2015 SI Swimsuit photo shoot, we knew she would be up for the challenge of standing out among one of our country's most beautiful backdrops. What we didn't know was all the hurdles our favorite Atlanta native would have to face!
From some harmless pranks with a fake snake to an unexpected bike race, Chanel kept her cool (and her sense of humor!) throughout her time working with famed photographer James Macari. She was even a good enough sport to take a photo with a passing fan, who just couldn't help but admire our two-time SI Swimsuit beauty. Can you blame him?
Then there were the sandstorms...oh, those nasty sandstorms. Never did we imagine that flying sand could be so painful—trust us. But despite the conditions and one misstep on a cliff, Chanel commanded all our attention and rightfully so. Have you seen how AMAZING her photos are? GO. LOOK. NOW.
Be sure to watch Chanel's complete 2015 SI Swimsuit outtakes reel above, and keep coming back to Swim Daily for more funny moments from the making of our latest issue!

A husband and wife in Texas are officially the oldest living couple in the world
A husband and wife in Texas are officially the oldest living couple in the world. (Courtesy: Longhorn Village Senior Living)
(CNN) — With a combined age of 211 years, one couple in Austin, Texas, has been named the oldest living couple in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
John Henderson is 106 and his wife, Charlotte, is 105.
The Hendersons have a love story that has quite literally stood the test of time. On December 15, they will celebrate 80 years of marriage.
The two met in class at The University of Texas in 1934. Charlotte was studying to become a teacher, while John was a guard for the football team.
They married in 1939 during the Great Depression and spent just $7 on the hotel room for their honeymoon.
In fact, John is also the oldest living former UT football player. For the past 84 years, he's held a tradition of attending at least one Longhorn football game each year.
Both are still very healthy, and John exercises every day. Ten years ago, the two moved into the Longhorn Village, a senior living community associated with a University of Texas alumni group. Hook 'Em!
So what's the secret to a long life and happy marriage after all?
Live life in moderation and be cordial to your spouse, John said.

A chink, the merest pinprick of light, has opened up in the grubby soap opera of Sepp Blatter, Fifa and the future of football. It came not, as it might have, in the dismayingly complacent account of affairs given by the chairman of the FA, Greg Dyke, to MPs on the culture, media and sport committee. Instead Mr Blatter himself, in an interview with Russian news agency Tass, has confirmed that the decision to award the World Cup to Russia in 2018 had been stitched up ahead of the vote in December 2010. He went on to reveal that it had also been agreed that the 2022 World Cup would go to the US, but when the votes were counted Qatar unexpectedly came through. He hinted at dark behaviour by European delegates.
Barring a tearful confession on live TV from Mr Blatter, there is almost no twist in this miserable tale that could come as a surprise. The impression of an organisation entirely without any sense of conventional morality that has managed to construct an organisational model embedding its voting members as clients of the organisation they are supposed to serve is complete. But at least the revelations from Mr Blatter – currently suspended from the Fifa presidency and due to be replaced, finally, in a vote at the end of February – seem to confirm one small aspect of the skulduggery around that vote. The claim even has a certain reverse credibility since its motive appears less a cathartic moment of honesty than the desire to put the boot into Michel Platini. Mr Platini, the FA's choice of candidate for Fifa president on the grounds that he isn't quite as hostile to the British media as Mr Blatter, is also temporarily suspended from football.
Mr Dyke, meanwhile, promised MPs that unless Mr Blatter says he was misquoted (which he clearly thought was likely), the FA would examine the possibility of trying to recover some of the £21m it spent on its 2018 World Cup bid. However, Mr Dyke neither looked nor sounded like someone with an appetite for the fight: nor was he any less pessimistic about the chances of reforming Fifa either from within or, by setting up a rival organisation, from without. He accepted that for the past 40 years it has been what he called a "corrupted organisation", but attributed that to cultural differences that were unavoidable in any global organisation.
Football administration is in a parlous state. Mr Dyke does have ambitious plans for reform of the FA that he says would liberate more cash for the grassroots game. But, in episodes such as its failure even to interview Chelsea's doctor, Eva Carneiro, after José Mourinho publicly swore at her, too often his organisation seems complicit in the questionable behaviour of the clubs it is supposed to regulate. Mr Dyke's fatalism in the face of the Fifa soap opera is pathetic. He seemed to think that, if it could be done at all, it could only be done by pressure from the sponsors and the broadcasters. But he admitted he had made no attempt to influence the BBC either as director general or FA chairman.
The sponsors are, at last, demanding change. They have some leverage to insist that independent experts are brought in to begin the long process of unpicking the mess, and to impose the management reforms and the transparency that Fifa needs. The broadcasters have more. Mr Dyke is right that a single member cannot do the job alone. But each has a part to play in cleaning up the governance of global football.


Highways England is introducing noise reducing barriers at eight locations along the M40 as part of a £61.4 million package of maintenance and improvement work on motorways and A-roads in the east of England.
The work includes resurfacing, safety barrier and lighting upgrades, drainage maintenance and repairs and new signs and road markings on many of the region's busiest roads.
The projects include £3.5m for new noise reducing barriers at eight locations along the M40 in Buckingham and South Oxfordshire.
Among the other roads receiving funding in the Eastern region are the A120 near Colchester, the A47 at King's Lynn and the A1 in Hertfordshire, where £550,000 will be spent on bridges linking the towns of Letchworth and Baldock.

France's soft wheat harvest likely to drop to 33.9 million tonnes
In the 2011-12 season, French soft wheat production is likely to fall to 33.9 million tonnes, from 35.7 million tonnes in the same period a year earlier, France Agrimer, said Wednesday (Mar 14).
The government agency marginally lowered its estimate for 2011-12 from a forecast of 34 million tonnes made last month.
France Agrimer forecasts soft wheat exports to non-EU countries are expected to fall to 8.8 million tonnes, from 12.9 million tonnes in 2010-11, and exports to EU countries are seen almost stable at 6.7 million tonnes.
The agency said it expects corn production in 2011-12 will be 15.5 million tonnes. It forecast hard wheat output will be two million tonnes and barley output will be 8.8 million tonnes.


The course of treatment will vary depending upon which operation is performed and the individual practice preferences of your surgeon. The operative time can vary from 1 – 6 hours. Days in the hospital can be from 2 – 7 days. Diet is resumed between 1 – 3 days after the operation. Resumption of a "regular" diet can be from 3 – 6 weeks. Work can be resumed from 1 -2 weeks for non-physical labor and from 6 – 8 weeks for physical labor.

Sunscorched by Jen Crane Blog Tour with Guest Post & Giveaway @JenCraneBooks
Genre: YA Sci-fi/Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic
Release Date: October 23rd 2018
Death in daylight. Danger at dark.
Life can't possibly get more treacherous than a violent sun allergy in a solar-blighted world. At least that's what seventeen-year-old Nori Chisholm thought before news of an impending sunscorch delivered her death sentence.
Desperate to survive the scorch, she's forced to shelter underground and discovers a secret subterranean world where life is hard, and so are the people. Betrayed and left for dead by the man who pledged to help her, Nori is sold to a gritty pit fighting ring. There she makes a friend—and plenty of enemies.
Sam Cooper's motives are at times impenetrable, but speeding through the underground world on the back of his motorcycle is a dark freedom Nori can't live without. On the run from a group of cutthroat rogues, their escape takes an unexpected twist. A shocking discovery shatters everything they thought they knew. Can they use the knowledge to save what's left of the world?
Winner of the Rosemary Award for excellence in young adult fiction, Sunscorched is a tale of survival and self-discovery at breakneck speed. Fans of Bella Forrest and Marie Lu, who crave dangerous heroes and dark secrets, will love the Sunscorched world.

Sunscorched Worldbuilding
I'm a reader first, and a writer second. I love fantasy and sci-fi books that have rich worlds in which I can get lost. I like to build those worlds myself. In fact, I would say it's my favorite part of writing--the research and world building—though it's often the toughest work.
In Sunscorched, there's not only the Surface, which is the gnarled and twisted remains of a once-lush, green planet, but the Subterranean.
The Subterranean is a secret underground world set in motion during the widespread fear surrounding nuclear proliferation in the 1950's. The Subterranean is gritty and hard—just like its people. Military types and doomsday preppers, religious groups--rebels and rogues of all sorts-- roam the Subterranean, where the only form of government is lawlessness.
Nori finds herself in Trogtown, a Subterranean city where homes and storefronts are carved into rock. Tunnels criss-cross the country, giving access to other underground towns. At one point in the book, Nori overnights in a chic cavern lodge. This scene is based on a real place I've actually stayed the night in, a luxury lodge/fallout shelter deep inside a mountainside with its own water source.
In Terminal Combustion, Book 2 of the Subterranean series (releasing early December), there's even more of the wild Subterranean world, and what I imagined a top-secret government facility might look like from the inside.
Though she grew up on a working cattle ranch, it's fantasy and sci-fi that shine Jen Crane's saddle. Her newest novel, Sunscorched, received the 2017 Rosemary Award for excellence in young adult fiction.
Book 2 in Jen's fantasy romance series, Descended of Dragons, was selected by iTunes/iBooks as "Our Pick" in fantasy/sci-fi.
Jen has a master's degree and solid work histories in government and non-profit administration. But just in the nick of time she pronounced life *too real* for nonfiction. She now creates endearing characters and alternate realms filled with adventure, magic, and love. She lives in The South with her family and too many pets.

Using the iPro Image Projector and a typical theatrical spotlight, project virtually any image you want - quickly, affordably, and easily.
In short, the iPro Image Projector projects an image created from a simple plastic slide. Attach an iPro Slide cartridge to the back plate of the iPro Image Projector and insert it into the iris slot of any one of several common luminaires. Then simply turn on the light to project anything from a dazzling full color panorama to a corporate logo, or even a last minute custom gobo texture. Even at 100% intensity, the iPro Slide will last from 15-50 hours with no fading or degradation.
With a form factor similar to the Rosco Gobo Rotator, the iPro Image Projector® is both elegant and simple in its engineering. Using three different systems - cooling airflow, infrared reflection, and thermal barriers - the slide is well protected from the extreme heat of the luminaire. Unique toolings on the backplate allow the iPro Image Projector® to fit snugly into the four most common luminaires: the Altman Shakespeare, ETC Source Four, Selecon Pacific and Strand SL.
Calling on more than 25 years of experience working with some of the best lighting and set designers, Rosco has put together a Library of images sure to meet most of your design needs. Choose from more than 400 designs ranging across 14 categories. Any image you select can be made into an iPro slide in just 24 hours!
If your client needs their corporate logo to be projected in their trade show stand; or if your lighting design will be best served by projecting a custom designed building facade; or if you just can't find what you like in Rosco's Library but you can create what you want on your computer, then use Rosco's custom iPro Slide Service and you will receive your design made up into a fully assembled iPro Slide cartridge in just 24 hours - for the same low price as a Library Standard design!
Click here to view the iPro Library.
Alternately, when your guest artist arrives at 4pm on opening night and needs a look that is "different", design and make your own projection by following the easy instructions in the iPro Slide Kit. Not that Rosco is encouraging directors to make last minute changes.

Animus Association has analysed how the rights of trafficked persons are respected and promoted in Bulgaria. Despite increasing awareness that trafficking and the exploitation of human beings through forced labour or in slavery-like conditions constitute severe human rights violations, states tend to focus on the prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators, while the protection of the rights of trafficked persons lags behind. Often victims are purely seen as an instrument for the prosecution with little regard for the far-reaching impact testifying against their exploiters may have on their current and future wellbeing and long-term safety.
This report provides a legal analysis of the position of trafficked persons in criminal and other relevant proceedings in Bulgaria and their treatment by the judicial system, in particular their access to legal aid and the protection of their rights as victims and witnesses, including access to compensation. The report contains an analysis of the legal provisions pertaining to the position of victim/witness of trafficking and their implementation in practice, based on the experiences of service providers and interviews with victims. Attention is also paid to the national definition of human trafficking and its implementation, in particular whether it offers equal protection without discrimination to all potential victims, including sex workers and victims of trafficking and exploitation for purposes other than prostitution.
Trafficking in Women and Children for Sexual Exploitation

The report suggests that trafficking in Croatia is more serious than fragmentary and incomplete official data indicates. Statistics on illegal crossings into Croatia show a constant increase over the last five years, with no attempt made to distinguish smuggled from trafficked persons. Despite this, Croatia is generally considered to be a transit country for trafficked women on their way to Western Europe. According to data from the Croatian Ministry of Interior (MOI), the percentage of trafficked women and children is very small compared to other types of criminal activity. From 1998 to 2000, only five criminal offences were reported relating to Article 175 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Croatia (Establishment of Slavery and the Transport of Slaves) and 21 offences relating to Article 178 (International Prostitution). The data indicates that Italy is the main country of destination for female victims of trafficking after they leave Croatia. The report reveals that victims of trafficking from Moldova, Romania and Ukraine are sold to Croatian traffickers at "collecting centres" located in Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina. One such centre is the "Arizona market"; a huge unregulated market situated near the border between Croatia and FRY. A similar market also exists in Bihac, near Bosanski Petrovac. Trafficking in Croatia has changed significantly during the last decade. In the first half of the 90s, trafficking was concentrated in Zagreb and its surroundings. The main and possibly the sole trafficking route was from Hungary to Zagreb. Trafficked women were mainly employed in nightclubs and bars on the outskirts of the capital. This first phase was abruptly ended by a series of raids in 1996-1997. In the later half of the 90s, several routes from Bosnia and Herzegovina replaced the Hungarian connection. Trafficking networks also became more geographically dispersed. The business spread to tourist towns and places frequented by military personnel. The most recent trend seems to be seasonal or temporary employment of women trafficked from Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as wider international sex tourism. No single official strategy or response to trafficking. Interviews with police officers revealed that some tended to ignore or minimise the extent of the problem whilst others did not recognise trafficking as a serious issue. All said corruption, lack of training and resources, and the absence of a clear and decisive plan of action hindered any policing attempt. The report recommends a policy change based on efficient policing and on providing assistance to trafficked individuals.

Richard Branson's Moskito Island. Rates for Moskito Island start from $17,500 per night during the low season
After over 14 years in the making, Moskito Island is debuting in the British Virgin Islands this week. Moskito has quickly become one of the most exclusive, private islands in the Caribbean—a secluded billionaire's playground, home to privately owned villa estates, all brought together by communal recreational amenities. Two brand-new estates, The Point Estate and The Oasis Estate are the latest additions joining the existing 11-bedroom Branson Estate on Moskito Island, under the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio.
Beginning October 1, 2021, The Point Estate and The Oasis Estate will officially become available for exclusive buyouts through Virgin Limited Edition, Sir Richard Branson's global collection of eight unique retreats and luxury hotels.
The nine-room Oasis Estate is perched on the highest point of Moskito Island. Its four-story main house utilizes the natural landforms, with transparent split-level terraces that emerge from the core of the estate. Offering a balance between fun, privacy, and relaxation, the estate has multiple bars, including a swim-up pool bar, an expansive billiards and movie room, and a rooftop deck with 360-degree views of the territory. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors can be found throughout the property that provides abundant natural light, while a flat grass-filled rooftop adds an urban design element.
A wraparound master pool joins the main house with three individual guest pods, which sit at the edge of the estate. Minimalistic in nature, each poolside pod features a kitchenette and living areas, as do each of the guestrooms in the main house.
The estate also has a master guestroom spanning 812 square feet, which has an open-plan bedroom and living area that transitions onto a 180-degree decking and entertaining area, offering some of the best views on the estate. Guests can wake up to sunrise views overlooking Sir Richard Branson's neighboring Necker Island, before later soaking up sunset views from the freestanding outdoor bathtub. The wraparound terrace features sun loungers and a dining table to create an entertainment space at the private retreat.
The Point Estate is nestled cliffside, overlooking the island's Manchioneel Beach and neighboring Virgin Gorda. Drawing design inspiration from the homeowners' travels across the world, The Point Estate is built up the cliff offering free-standing accommodation and one main entertaining hub house. The communal area of the main house brings the estate together as a dining and entertainment space, with a contemporary kitchen and bar and a huge infinity pool offering 180-degree views of the surrounding turquoise waters. An open-air seaside dining pavilion is built right at the cliff edge and offers the best views of the sunsets. Guests will have exclusive, direct stair access to Manchioneel Beach—complete with a dining pavilion, stocked bar, and other facilities.
The Point Estate at Moskito Island
With eight bedrooms, including an eight-bunk children's room in the main house, the estate can accommodate up to 22 guests. There are two master bedrooms: Hillside Master, which overlooks the entire estate; and Seaside Master, a quiet cove at the bottom of the estate. A mix of freestanding, outdoor, deep-soaking baths and outdoor showers, complete with spacious decking and sun loungers features across the guest accommodation. Sitting atop the main house great room is a crow's nest—an idyllic location to watch the sunrise and set over the island.
The Oasis and The Point estates will join the Branson Estate, designed and owned by the Branson Family. It opened in 2020. Set near the island's communal recreational facilities, the Branson Estate was the first of its kind to be built on Moskito Island, with three villas connected by elevated wooden walkways, including the main residence, Headland House, which is home to the estate's main master living, dining and entertaining areas, master suite and two guestrooms.
The four-bedroom Beach Villa comes with its own private infinity pool and living areas, and adjacent lies the four-bedroom Mangrove Villa, nestled in the mangroves, offering views of the neighboring islands. The Branson Estate is home to seaside dining and play areas that seamlessly blend indoor-outdoor living.
Each private estate on Moskito Island features communal recreational amenities, including the master Beach Pavilion, comprising a bar, gaming and movie areas, wraparound pool, and a communal beach. Two floodlit artificial grass tennis courts — designed to match Necker Island's courts which play host to the annual Necker Cup — are ideal for group tournaments, lessons, or a casual setting with friends.
The estates also offer on-island and private in-room dining experiences. Guests can enjoy beachside spa treatments, watersports, and a range of activities that can be organized to cater for the full group, including game nights, guided hikes, beach Olympics, and children's pizza-making classes. Guests can explore the British Virgin Islands by snorkeling amid reefs and shipwrecks or swimming with the turtles.
Rates for Moskito Island start from $17,500 per night during low-season, based on a four-night minimum stay at The Point Estate for up to 16 guests. Rates are inclusive of a dedicated estate manager, private chef, and a dedicated team of staff, besides meals, drinks, watersports, and a personalized itinerary from start to finish.

Terms and Conditions for Use of Eversports Platform
("Terms and Conditions of Use" or "GTCs-B2C") v2
1. PREAMBLE
1.1 Eversport GmbH, Heiligenstädter Strasse 31, Floor 2, 1190 Vienna, registered on the Commercial Register of the Vienna Commercial Court at FN 404544v, together with all of its subsidiaries ("Eversports"), operates client software and an online platform via a mobile app as well as on its websites ("Eversports Platform").
1.2 The Eversports Platform may be used to search, book ("Booking") and pay online for various services in the field of sports and leisure activities as well as sports venues (referred to collectively as the "Sports and Leisure Offerings"). The Sports and Leisure Offerings are provided by the business associate company (the "Operator"; the Operator, together with Eversports, referred to as the "Contracting Parties") on its own responsibility, in its name and for its own account. Eversports supports the Operator with the Eversports System in dealings with Users essentially only by providing a clear presentation of the Sports and Leisure Offerings and by handling bookings, but not by performing the User/Service Agreements between the Operator and Users.
1.3 The following terms in these Terms and Conditions of Use/GTCs shall have the meaning assigned to them below:
The term "User" describes those persons (particularly consumers) who have downloaded the Eversports mobile app, who have registered with Eversports via the Eversports Platform as well as simply visitors to Eversports websites (in particular: www.eversports.com, www.eversports.at, www.eversports.de)
The term "Eversports System" includes the Eversports Platform and other Eversports administration and booking services (both online and offline).
The term "Operator" refers to a natural person or legal entity who has entered into a contract with Eversports to use the Eversports System as a provider of Sports and Leisure Offerings ("Partnering Contract"). Some providers of Sports and Leisure Offerings use the Eversports System for certain Sports and Leisure Offerings (essentially for day tickets in the realm of gym studios) only as a market place, without any other software solution ("Marketplace Offering"). The special terms and conditions set out below apply to the Marketplace Offering. The question of whether an offering constitutes a Marketplace Offering will be made clear to the User prior to the Booking. However, already at this point we wish to advise you that, if the User is Booking with an Operator/gym with its registered office (by this is meant: the location of the gym for which the ticket was purchased) is in Germany, the Contract is deemed to be made with Eversports Deutschland UG, Keupstraße, 11, 51063, Hansaring 52, 50670 Cologne, registered on the Cologne District Court Commercial Register at HRB85098.
1.4 The subject-matter of these GTCs is the use of the Eversports Platform, in particular the User's Booking of Sports and Leisure Offerings.
1.5 Personal data (of the Operator, its customers and employees) within the meaning of the Data Protection Act (in particular: telephone number, address, e-mail address, other content data etc.) shall be processed in accordance with the Privacy Statement. This may be downloaded from www.eversports.com, both in the imprint page and on the home page of the website.
2. cope of application, exclusion of other general terms and conditions, priority, amendment of these GTCs, written form requirement
2.1 Scope of application. All legal relations between Eversports and the Operator shall be exclusively governed by these GTCs. The GTCs may be accessed on the homepage of Eversports' website (shown in the footer) and/or in its imprint page or from the app (under the profile sub-menu, where they may be downloaded and stored by Users). These GTCs apply both to Users whose ordinary residence is located within Austria (Art. 6 (1) Council Regulation EC No. 593/2008) and to Users whose ordinary residence is located outside Austria. These GTCs shall also apply to all future transactions between Eversports and the User, even where no express reference is made to them in individual cases, and shall, in particular, include future supplementary or other transactions. The most current version of these GTCs, at the time the contract in question is concluded or at the time of any subsequent transaction, shall always apply.
2.2 Amendments, special right of termination. Eversports may make amendments to these GTCs unilaterally at any time by notification in digital form (without any signature). They shall only take effect at such time as the User gives consent. If the User does not consent to the amendment, Eversports reserves the right to block the User's access in whole or in part and to terminate the Contract with the User without notice. Any other changes or agreements between the User and Eversports deviating herefrom must be made in writing to be effective.
2.3 Priority, interpretation. The legal relations between Eversports and the User are governed by the following legal bases: 1. Mandatory law, 2. These Terms and Conditions of Use/GTCs 3. Miscellaneous. In the event of any conflict between these legal bases, the legal basis which is earlier in priority shall take precedence over those legal bases which follow it.
2.4 "Written form" means that the declaration must be signed (e.g. a copy/scan of a letter personally signed and sent by e-mail or post). Where written form is required, the cancellation or amendment of the written form clause shall likewise only be valid if given in written form. For complying with mere text form, an e-mail without signature will be sufficient if that e-mail obviously originated from the registered e-mail address.
3. User's Account, contract formation, Registration process, Contract term
3.1 User's Account. In order to be able to avail oneself of the Sports and Leisure Offerings provided via the Eversports Platform, Users must register on the Eversports Platform ("Registration") and Eversports must activate the User's access to the Eversports Platform (the "User Account"). A User may only register on the Eversports Platform in his own name and must be at least 16 years of age. The User Account is transferable only with Eversports' consent. Eversports reserves the right to reject a Registration by Users without the need to state grounds of rejection. This applies particularly in cases where a User does not meet the above-referenced minimum age requirement. The User's data which has been transmitted will in such case be promptly deleted. Eversports is furthermore also entitled to block a User Account at any time. Users have no legal entitlement to a User Account.
3.2 Contract formation, Registration process. Registration is carried out via an online form in which the User fills in the data requested (specifically: given name and surname, e-mail address, telephone number). The completion of the Registration form and forwarding of the form to Eversports constitutes a mere offer by the User to Eversports to conclude a contract for the use of the Eversports Platform. The Contract then only arises at such time as Eversports activates the User Account in line with these GTCs (hereinafter the "Acceptance"). Where the Registration is not fully completed (e.g. because a mandatory field is not completed or the GTCs are not accepted or the Privacy Statement is not acknowledged), no Contract will arise between the User and Eversports. Following completion of the Registration, the User may use the Eversports Platform on an unlimited basis subject to these GTCs. Absent a Registration, the Eversports Platform may only be used to a very limited extent.
3.3 Contract term, termination. Contracts are made for an indefinite term. Both Parties have the right at any time to terminate the Contract (directly via the Eversports Platform). Deletion of an entire User Account in addition to termination is covered by the Privacy Statement. In any event, it is deemed to simultaneously terminate the Contract. If the User gives notice of termination, then all Bookings which may have been previously made will lapse. If Eversports terminates the Contract, Eversports shall endeavour to ensure that the User is nevertheless still able to avail himself of the Booking.
4. Obligations of User
4.1 Use of User Account. Users have a duty to keep the data they have entered on the Eversports Platform updated at all times. Users have the duty to keep their access data secret. Access to the Eversports Platform may not be given to third parties either for consideration or gratuitously. If the User should learn that a third party has access to his User Account, he must promptly inform Eversports thereof by e-mail to [email protected]. The User shall be liable to Eversports for any losses incurred through impermissible disclosure of access data. In addition, in the event that a third party uses a User's access data, the acts of such third party taken on the Eversports Platform shall be imputed to the User as if they were the User's own actions (in particular: Bookings).
4.2 Unlawful data processing. No defamatory, insulting or other unlawful or questionable communications or data (in particular: in connection with any type of pornography, threats of violence of glorification of violence and any political or religious extremism, viruses, spyware, Trojan horses etc.) may be uploaded to the Eversports Platform. Users are likewise prohibited from placing any sensitive data (data of natural persons regarding their racial or ethnic origins, political opinions, trade union affiliation, religious or philosophical beliefs) and health-related data on the platform. Users undertake that they shall only process personal data on the Eversports Platform with the express consent of the data subject.
4.3 Ratings, recommendations, advertising. Ratings of Operators are based on Eversports' own rating system, and specifically on the pooled experiences of Users. All further information regarding an Operator originates with that Operator itself. Evaluation reports and recommendations by Users on the Eversports Platform must comport with the facts and be worded in as neutral a manner as possible. However, every type of advertising on the Eversports Platform, whether direct or indirect, concealed or disclosed, is prohibited. This also includes publication/disclosure of e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, links to third-party websites, logos, company names, product names, content with a commercial background.
5. Remuneration, prices, Bookings, payment, cancellation, misuse
5.1 Remuneration of Eversports. The use of the Eversports Platform is free of charge to the User (however, see special rule regarding Marketplace Offerings).
5.2 Prices of Operators. The prices indicated on the Eversports Platform for Sports and Leisure Offerings are end prices and specifically do include the statutory value added tax. The prices originate exclusively with the Operator. Eversports disclaims all liability for these details.
5.3 Booking. Every Booking or Booking query by the User on the Eversports Platform is forwarded by Eversports to the Operator in its capacity as a legal messenger, either by e-mail or directly via the Eversports Platform. Bookings only are valid and effective at such time as a corresponding confirmation of the Booking is received. The confirmation of the Booking is shown either directly by Eversports on its platform or forwarded by e-mail; however, Eversports does not assume any liability for the User's receipt of e-mail.
5.4 Payment. Users must pay the price for Sports and Leisure Offerings booked by them at the prices indicated by the Operator on the Eversports Platform directly at the sports provider's venue or via the Eversports Platform. There are various methods of payment at various rates available for this purpose. If the Operator becomes insolvent before the User has availed himself of the Sports and Leisure Offering which he has already paid for via Eversports, then the User will only receive a refund of the charge from Eversports if Eversports has not yet forwarded the payment to the Operator. Thus, the User bears the risk of the Operator's creditworthiness.
5.5 Cancellations. As a basic rule, the User must assume that a Booking cannot be cancelled. However, several Operators do grant cancellation rights to Users in certain circumstances. The terms of cancellation for booked Sports and Leisure Offerings vary depending on the Operator; however, such terms are visible to Users prior to each Booking. Cancellation following expiry of the cancellation period is possible only with the consent of the Operator in question.
5.6 Cancellation in the event of misuse of gratuitous services. In order to prevent Users from misusing services of Operators which are exceptionally provided free-of-charge and not to charge incorrect Bookings to Operators, Eversports reserves the right to cancel a reservation in the individual case if Eversports or the Operator is unable to reach the User under the telephone number indicated with any follow-up queries. In such cases, the User shall have no claim to avail himself of the Sports and Leisure Offering. The same applies if Bookings have repeatedly been made in the past under the e-mail address given by the User and the User has failed to avail himself of the free Sports and Leisure Offering.
6.1 Counterparty for Sports and Leisure Offering. Contracts for the use of the specific Sports and Leisure Offering are formed exclusively between the User making the Booking and the Operator offering it. All claims and obligations under such agreements shall be directly and exclusively between the User and the Operator. To such extent, Eversports also disclaims all liability in the event an Operator has not accepted/entered any Bookings in its Booking system.
6.2 Based on the qualities/characteristics of software and of online applications, Eversports is unable to furnish any guarantee that the Eversports Platform will be available and capable of being accessed on an ongoing and continuous basis. Eversports may at any time restrict the availability of the Eversports Platform or particular areas or features if this is necessary in respect of capacity limits, security or the integrity of its servers or in order to perform maintenance work safeguarding the proper or improved functionality of the Eversports Platform. Eversports may, from time to time, make changes, further development or restrictions to its Eversports Platform.
6.3 Liability. In all further and other respects, Eversports shall only be liable for breaches of contract if the intentional acts or grossly negligent conduct of Eversports' vicarious agents or legal representatives is imputed to Eversports pursuant to the applicable legal rules (sec. 1313a of the Austrian Civil Code). Eversports is liable for slight negligence only in cases of losses arising from injury to life, limb or health. Liability for consequential damages, including loss of salary and lost profits is hereby disclaimed in any event. In all further and other respects, Eversports shall only be liable, if at all, for losses which are foreseeable and which must be typically anticipated.
7. Marketplace Offerings
The following special rules apply to Marketplace Offerings:
7.1 The User has the option of purchasing electronic "Tickets" (authorised access codes) for use of the selected gyms via the Eversports Platform.
7.2 In legal respects, the way this is handled is that Eversports concludes a user agreement with the respective Operator of the gym for the main service (specifically: access to the gym) in the form of an actual third-party beneficiary contract in favour of the User requesting active access to the gym with his electronic Ticket. In literal respects, the relevant third-party beneficiary contract in favour of the User reads as follows: "The gym undertakes to Eversports that it shall provide the services presented on the Eversports Platform in accordance with the gym's terms and conditions set forth therein to the User as the beneficiary (and party with direct entitlement) who shall present the corresponding Ticket (specifically: in the form of a Booking code) transmitted to the User by Eversports, which covers the scope/period of the Booking or the agreed day, without payment of any further compensation."
7.3 This means:
Prior to purchasing the Ticket, the User must inform himself regarding the concrete substance of the other gym terms and conditions; these may be downloaded prior to making the Booking.
The Contract relationship with Eversports is limited to its furnishing of the platform and the Ticket if a Marketplace Offering is booked. The User pays the fee shown prior to the Booking exclusively for this purpose. In so doing, Eversports is deemed to have fully rendered its services.
The User will not incur any further charges for the use of the gym in accordance with the above User Agreement for the agreed period/scope of use of the specific day. The charges are handled and directly settled as between Eversports and the gym.
The Operator will be exclusively responsible for claims arising out of this User Agreement (complaints etc.), i.e. the User's rights arising out of that User Agreement as well as any claims for compensation and warranty rights are rights to be asserted directly against the Operator. Eversports assumes no responsibility or liability for any such claims or rights, and in particular, disclaims any liability for the creditworthiness of the Operator.
7.4 Tickets are not transferable.
7.5 Eversports is authorised to pass on the User's contact data to the gym, as the responsible data controller for its own operational purposes (e.g. the legitimate interest in knowing who is entering the gym, self-promotion purposes). As regards the data passed on to the gym, the sole contact and respondent in any data protection matters is thus the gym itself (see Privacy Statement).
7.6 Eversports grants the User a free cancellation right for day Tickets (Tickets valid only on a certain day). The terms of cancellation are displayed directly in the course of the Booking process prior to making the Booking. Cancellations may be made via the mobile app or web solution. The Ticket will otherwise lapse. The foregoing applies mutatis mutandis to weekly and monthly tickets taking effect from a certain day. These may be cancelled before the start of that day.
8. Final provisions
8.1 No assignment. The Operator is prohibited from assigning receivables and other claims against Eversports.
8.2 Law. Austrian law shall govern exclusively, to the exclusion of any conflicts-of-law provisions and to the exclusion of the provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). However, this choice of law has no impact on the rights of the User as a consumer pursuant to the consumer protection rules of the country in which the User's habitual residence is located within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) Council Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008.
8.3 Jurisdiction and venue. If the User is acting as a consumer, he is deemed to consent for purposes of all disputes arising out of the legal relations or future legal relations or other claims between Eversports and the User to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Austrian courts. This means that the User may assert a claim against Eversports before any court in Austria or before a court with jurisdiction over the place of his habitual residence. If Eversports wishes to assert its rights against the User as a consumer, Eversports may only do this before the courts with jurisdiction over the User's place of habitual residence. If the User acts as an entrepreneur, he is deemed to consent to exclusive jurisdiction of the court with geographical and subject-matter jurisdiction for 1010 Vienna.
8.4 Conciliation. Eversports is required to refer Users to the online platform of the European Commission for online conciliation. That platform may be accessed at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. However, Eversports is neither willing nor obliged to participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer ombudsman to settle disputes with consumers.
8.5 Severability clause. In the event that individual terms of this Contract should be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, or in the event that this Contract is deemed to contain a contractual gap, the validity of the remaining terms hereof shall not be affected thereby. In place of the invalid, unenforceable or missing term, the Parties are deemed to have agreed such valid and enforceable term with retroactive effect between the Parties to the Contract as they would have agreed to, taking into account the commercial purpose of this Contract, had they been aware of the invalidity, unenforceability or absence of the relevant term when concluding this Contract. The Parties are obliged to confirm any such term in the form required.
9. The User hereby confirms that he had the opportunity to fully acquaint himself with the contents of these Terms and Conditions of Use/GTCs prior to contracting and also had the option to store them in a permanent fashion and is in agreement with the content of these Terms and Conditions of Use.

Q: How to have IE11 in Linux Guest on Win7 Host? I have a Linux Guest VM as my main dev enviroment on Win7 Host (using VirtualBox).
Want to have IE11 in the Guest Linux VM where i have all other development tools.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks much in advance,
Dus

A: You could in your Linux Guest, install VirtualBox or VMWare, create a virtual machine, install Windows and run EI11 there, but this seems redundant.

"People have this assumption that we were good mates for 10 years and that we bonded over a kindred spirit of music," Novak says. "Honestly, that could not be further from the truth. It's very much a serendipitous thing that happened. Now, sure, we bond over music but our tastes are quite different.
Early tours opening for the likes of Courtney Barnett and Gang of Youths were loaded with a dangerous sense of portent. "A gritty garage rock two-piece unafraid to throw themselves into the action," the AU Review observed.
"People were … literally blown away by an absolute musical reckoning," reported themusic.com.au.
Come 2017, the duo were selling out their own shows and running ragged rings around the sprawling festival circuit of the great southern land. "Able", "Beeping" and "Did Somebody Tell Me" evinced an ever-tightening telepathic intensity and searing soul chemistry.
But hey. We could bang on like this all day. But like any strangely thrilling encounter with a hyperactive stranger in a darkened room, the proof of Polish Club is mostly physical. Like being slammed sideways against the nearest wall, and liking it.


As a marketing and communications agency with almost 40 years of experience, we're often asked how we've stood the test of time.
We believe it's because we love what we do. And respect what's important to you.
Respecting your business means understanding the challenges you face and finding ways to connect your marketing to your sales activity.
Respecting your objectives keeps us constantly focused on the job. Respecting your customers means we help you make the right connections. And respecting your investment demands that we always measure the outcome of our work.
We believe that creativity has to be underpinned by real purpose.
That gathering results only has value when it gives you intelligent analysis and the ability to act.
That a passion for design should be matched by a capability to deliver positive commercial impact.
And that every pound you spend with us should mean more added to your bottom line.
Every piece of marketing, design and communication we create for you is measurable, adaptable and accountable.
The measures we put in place helped one client identify a reduced cost per lead from £250 to £16. Another experienced an increase in web visits by over 90%. Yet another saw an addition to their sales pipeline of €11 for every €1 spent on marketing.
And those are just a few examples of many we'd be happy to share with you.
Why do clients choose us? Understanding has a lot to do with it.
They appreciate the time we take to understand their products, services and markets. What keeps them awake at night. And what motivates their customers to buy from them.
They always value our understanding of their sales processes and the customer journey.
And they know we understand – thanks to constant measurement and testing – how to modify, streamline and enhance their marketing activity to improve their ROI.


My thesis is about analyzing the strength of various block ciphers, and introducing new techniques for this analysis.
By jettisoning and adapting traditional narrative strategies—such as plot or temporal continuity—that tend to maintain their integrity only within the confines of a single story, James Joyce and Sherwood Anderson (and many authors since) use the genre of the short story sequence to present community in ways different from either the novel or the short story. Whether or not the characters in the stories understand these connections, they are connected through community even as they often remain isolated and alone.
Fluxes of the greenhouse gases CO2, N2O, and methane at two eastern Canadian agricultural farms were measured using the nocturnal boundary layer budget method, which gave nighttime "whole farm" estimates. Results from this method were compared with other micrometeorological methods and a flux aggregation method.


just an update. the broadcast flag was not attached to an appropriations bill. over at the eff they are pretty happy about the rise of citizen activism that helped the cause. the eff's new activism coordinator, Danny O'Brien, sees this as a victory for sift citizen action. well, i guess it could be that.
i prefer to think that the people in congress are not so dumb as to put through just any legislation that the entertainment industry or other giant lobby may want. especially legislation as lame as the broadcast flag. maybe i have too much confidence in our government? i don't know. they can't all be morons. can they?
and, those crazy kids at think secret have some details and photos of the intel based macintosh that is being shipped to developers. check it out. it looks like a macintosh with an intel motherboard and cpu inside. cool.
