Hilton, right at the very end of Duval area, quiet, in a Marina, reasonable, nice pool and jacuzzi's, overlooks the water. 2 options-Holiday Inn reasonable prices and quiet, right on Duval mid-street, no beach. There is not alot of parking on Duval and I am sure that if you are drinking like everyone else you dont feel like driving anyway. If you plan on spending much time on Duval partying, you will want to be closer to the action. ![]() I have stayed at the Hilton, Marriott, and Duval House (B&B) the Marriott has the small beach as the other writer has mentioned but in my opionion is too far from everything that is going on. There are very few hotels on the beach and if they are there is hardly any beach to speak of. ![]() Truthfully, beaches are not the main priority when going to Key West. Leslie, I am guessing that you have never been to Key West before from your questions. Hundreds of other luxury resorts on six continents, there's no denying the sybaritic fun of staying at Pier House. Writers to call Pier House "the finest resort on earth." While that statement will generate smiles from Everywhere, the Key WestĪtmosphere prevails (the indolent, carefree, counterculture city is right outside the front door), creating a mood that has caused several travel In addition to its comfortable, elegant rooms, the hotel has four separate dining areas, a spa with fitnessįacilities, and all the other amenities associated with a four-star resort. There is a small, white-sand beach, and a lounging-raft about thirty yards into the sea. The 142-room Pier House is a crazyquilt of two-story buildings containing units of differing size, no two of which are alike except for their high quality, insouciant, tropical decor and furnishings: wicker chairs, ceiling paddle fans, bathrooms that occasionally contain Jacuzzis and bidets, other units with gaily beflowered comforters, and all of the units surrounded by the lushest tropical growth you can imagine.

Squarely within the historic Old Town of Key West. Below I've printed a review from one resort that Frommer's recommended, which I visited for its spa services while I was there and I thought it looked very nice (didn't check out the rooms or the beach however - but the grounds were pretty & the spa was excellent). For a truly unique experience, take advantage of the resort's Dock to Dish local seafood initiative, which includes a sustainable fishing excursion and allows guests to be involved in every step of their meal, from threading the line to hand-picking herbs to complement the day's catch, before enjoying a seaside sunset dinner.Leslie: I sent you an e-mail earlier today with responses to a bunch of the questions you asked, but you may not have gotten it yet (hopefully you will). Relax in rooms and suites featuring nature-inspired decor or head onto your private balcony to soak in stunning views. As an added bonus, this Curio Collection resort is nearly all-inclusive with a resort charge that covers the basics – like pool amenities, fishing gear, bikes, kayaks and paddleboards – as well as specialty activities like foam parties, s'mores nights and scavenger hunts for all ages. While the resort is situated in a more secluded part of Key Largo (you'll need a car to reach other parts of the key), travelers praise the resort's abundance of on-site activities, including specially planned events each day. Baker's Cay Resort says its location is "just the right amount of away from it all" and visitors agree. While many timber framers use SIPs, not all SIPs are manufactured in the same way. The result is a super-strong building panel that provides incredible energy efficiency and structural building value. These panels are made by laminating two pieces of OSB (oriented strand board) around a solid core of EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam, using extreme pressure. Riverbend uses structural insulated panels from our fellow company, Insulspan. ![]() Once the shell is complete, the home is ready for your chosen builder to finish the interior and clad the exterior. This is why we provide a complete hybrid SIP and timber building envelope, with the option of purchasing windows and doors. When you choose to work with Riverbend, we recognize that you are interested in building a home, not just a frame. As you go through the hybrid home design process, the style and density of the timber will be an ongoing discussion, as your designer explains how your choices will impact the cost to build. By using hybrid timber and SIP construction, your Riverbend architectural designer can create a timber frame structure that matches your vision while meeting your budget goals. The amount of timber framing, and the complexity of that framing, will have a direct effect on your cost to build. You can also choose a density of framing that fits best with your aesthetic vision. For instance, you may prefer more framing in the great room and master bedroom, while limiting or eliminating timber framing from other rooms. Hybrid timber and SIP construction gives you the flexibility to add timber framing to those rooms that are most important to you. ![]() When we incorporate structural insulated panels (SIPs), we reduce the dependence on the frame which gives us more design flexibility and enables us to design to your overall budget. In traditional timber frame home construction, the entire structure is dependent on the timber framing. ![]() ![]() ![]() I hear a rustle and she was there on my floor! Not sure where she came out of but she is back in her home safe,” Crowther wrote in an email.īoa constrictors are not venomous and are popular as pets due to their typically docile temperaments, but they are carnivorous. “I left some food in her enclosure with the door open and waited. On Monday afternoon, Crowther told CTV News a thorough search of her building was conducted with the assistance of animal control officers and the property manager. "I know they aren’t everyone’s favourite animal but she is loved and means a lot to me so please keep your eyes out." Boas love to both climb and to burrow so she could be up in branches or down in the garden," it reads. "Our bathroom window was slightly open so I’m assuming she crawled down the fire escape looking for food. In a plea to an online group for missing pets in Vancouver, Crowther said she lives in a building at West 4th Avenue and MacDonald Street and that she noticed the snake was missing around 3 p.m. "My baby is missing," Phoenix Crowther said in a Facebook post, asking residents of the Kitsilano area to be on the lookout for her beloved pet. 218, 2279-2288.A six-foot-long boa constrictor slithered out of the window of a third-floor Vancouver apartment Sunday and was gone for more than 24 hours, according to the snake's owner. Snake constriction rapidly induces circulatory arrest in rats. The research appears in this month’s issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology. “By understanding the mechanisms of how constriction kills, we gain a greater appreciation for the efficiency of this behaviour and the benefit it provided early snakes,” Boback says. This trait - quickly dispatching lunch while expending the minimum required effort - enables snakes to eat prey much larger than themselves, the authors note. This work suggests “snakes may actually be inducing pulseless electrical activity and therefore release prey precisely when they have achieved irreversible cardiac failure,” they write. In previous work, the same team noticed that snakes can apparently detect their prey’s heartbeat while constricting, and can gauge how much work they have to do to finish it off. They surmise that the pressure of constriction stops blood from flowing to vital organs, which begin shutting down. Either direct pressure on the heart, via constriction of the thoracic region, or constriction of the abdominal cavity induces the 6-fold increase in venous pressure.Īs soon as circulation effectively stopped, the team watched the rat’s heart begin beating irregularly. Pressure around the abdominal cavity has been shown to dramatically diminish the heart’s output, the researchers say. In repeated experiments, using 24 rats in all, some of the snakes also looped their bodies around the rats’ abdomens. “We could see the arterial pressure go down, the venous pressure go up and we could see this right when the snake was doing it.” “I remember being in the room and the students were looking at the data in disbelief that it happened that fast,” Boback says in a statement. The blood couldn’t flow, and the animal’s internal organs started shutting down. Within six seconds of being bitten and wrapped up, the animal’s arterial blood pressure dropped by half, and its central venous pressure - the return supply - increased six-fold, the study says. Then they inserted heart and blood pressure monitors and offered the rat to a hungry boa constrictor. To prevent each sacrificial rat from suffering, they anesthetized it first. In a new study, he and colleagues report measuring blood pressure in rats in the process of being squeezed. Scott Boback of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Penn., set out to prove it once and for all. But nobody had tested what actually happens in the body of a crushed prey. They cut off blood flow, resulting in rapid organ shutdown and a quick (though likely not painless) death.Ībout 20 years ago, herpetologist Dave Hardy and colleagues theorized that a crushing snake’s prey dies much too rapidly for suffocation to be the cause. Actually, it’s more like you’re having your insides squeezed shut.Ī new study confirms that boa constrictors and other crushing snakes don’t suffocate their prey after all. But your life will not end because you’re suffocating. You begin seeing stars, and start gasping for breath. It’s a nighmarish situation: A gigantic snake slowly curls around your body, enveloping you in its slithery embrace. ![]() That's how Tadamasa Goto made most of his money. But the modern Yakuza is a different animal, adding corporate takeovers, financial fraud and insider trading to their criminal portfolio." They run everything from the girls to the sex, to the drugs. What's also hard on the liver is the hedonistic lifestyle of the Yakuza.Īs she walked down the main street of Tokyo's entertainment and "red light" district, Logan explained, "This is traditional Yakuza turf. "The tattoos are so dense that it's very hard to sweat, which means when you can't get rid of the toxins in your body, that's also very hard on the liver," Adelstein explained. "Physically, the tattoos take their toll on your body," Logan remarked. Beneath his expensive suit, his body is a canvas, like many Yakuza, covered with intricate tattoos. He was introduced to "60 Minutes" by Jake Adelstein in downtown Tokyo. "Right now, we don't hide the fact that we're Yakuza," the anonymous Yakuza boss told Logan. And they are so much a part of Japanese culture, they parade openly. Many have ornate tattoos that often cover their entire body, marking them for life.īut unlike the Mafia in America, Yakuza don't hide their membership in the mob, because it's not illegal in Japan to be a member of organized crime. Tradition demands when a mistake is made, they chop off their own finger to atone and present the severed part to their boss. It's impossible to miss the mark of a Yakuza: severed fingers.

"Generally speaking, Yakuza get rid of bodies by dumping them in the foundations of buildings. * Peripheral Cushing’s Syndrome (PCS), while it has many of the same clinical signs as PPID, has a different cause it is believed that PCS occurs due to high amounts of circulating cortisol that originate in the liver and/or fat cells of the intestine rather than the pituitary gland. In PPID, the middle lobe of the gland, or the pars intermedia, can become enlarged due to a benign tumor, over-producing cortisol and compressing adjacent pituitary and hypothalamus structures until they cease functioning. However, in humans with Cushing’s, a different part of the pituitary gland is affected, so many veterinarians now refer to the equine disease as PPID. * Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) has long been referred to as Equine Cushing’s disease. ![]() A truly hypothyroid horse might also be abnormally sensitive to cold, have a decreased appetite, be intolerant to exercise, and exhibit swelling (edema) in his hind legs. Some of the signs of a hypothyroid horse, such as coarse hair coat, can also be caused by Equine Cushing’s or similar conditions. * Thyroid Dysfunction is apparently rare in horses as a primary health issue. Running the proper tests and identifying the correct issues is essential. The symptoms typically thought of as hypothyroid (lethargic, overweight, non-shedding) are more often symptoms of other diseases or conditions, not an underactive thyroid. Clinical signs on the outside are often the key to what’s going on with a horse’s internal metabolic processes. The complex nature of the equine endocrine system isn’t completely understood or fully documented, and thyroid symptoms in horses are different from those in people or dogs. When the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroid), the body slows down when the thyroid becomes overactive (hyperthyroid), processes speed up. ![]() It’s essentially what controls the pace at which the body operates. Located in a horse’s throatlatch area below the larynx, the thyroid’s job is to produce thyroid hormone, which is needed by every cell in the body and regulates everything from metabolic processes to organ function. For more information about grep, you can check the man page or other online resources. Whether you’re a system administrator or a regular user, mastering the grep command can significantly enhance your productivity in the Linux terminal. Grep all the files that end with a particular extension and also contain a particular string. Remember to replace “your-string” and “/path/to/directory” with your specific string and directory. Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux. Is there a way you can combine the commands to list all the files and subfolders of a directory recursively. and you can list file information (such as permissions and timestamps) with the following: stat filename.ext. By understanding its various options and how to use them, you can quickly and efficiently find the information you need. In a Unix Shell you can use the following to print a list of all files and subfolders recursively: cd some/path/to/folder du -a. The grep command is a powerful tool for searching text in files. Using the Find CommandĪnother way to search all files in a directory non-recursively is to use the find command with the -maxdepth option: find /path/to/directory -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec grep "your-string" + tells find to execute the grep command on each file found. The -d option stands for ‘directories,’ and ‘skip’ tells grep to skip directories. If you want grep to skip directories and not treat them as files, you can use the -d skip option: grep -d skip "your-string" /path/to/directory/* The -s option stands for ‘suppress.’ It suppresses error messages about nonexistent or unreadable files. To suppress these error messages, you can use the -s option: grep -s "your-string" /path/to/directory/* However, this command will also give an error message for directories encountered. The ‘*’ at the end of the directory path is a wildcard that matches all files in the directory. In this command, replace “your-string” with the string you want to search for, and “/path/to/directory” with the path to the directory you want to search in. To search for a string in all files in a directory non-recursively, meaning not including subdirectories, you can use the following command: grep "your-string" /path/to/directory/* ![]() ![]() Searching All Files in a Directory Non-Recursively The ‘options’ part can include various flags that modify the behavior of grep. Here, ‘pattern’ is the string of text you want to search for, and ‘file’ is the file or files where you want to search. Recursive grep on Unix without GNU grep If you do not have GNU grep on your Unix system, you can still grep recursively, by combining the find command with grep: find. But older releases of Unix do not have GNU grep and do not have any option to grep recursively. Running grep 'string' /path/to/dir is supposed to be able to do this, I've read, but it gives me the error: grep: dir: Is a directory Next, I tried running grep on multiple files. The basic syntax of grep is as follows: grep pattern This is all very easy because Linux includes GNU grep. 56 I want to search for a string of text in all files in a directory (and not its subdirectories I know the -r option does that, but that is not what I want). It’s one of the most useful commands in a Linux terminal environment. The grep command, which stands for “global regular expression print,” is used to search text or files for lines that match a certain pattern.

It will look through its database of files and quickly print out path names that match the pattern that you have typed. In Linux, I normally use this command to recursively grep for a particular text within a directory: grep -rni 'string' where.

Vogue’s executive fashion and beauty director Lisa Aiken is a long-time fan. It's also a completely foolproof product-a lot of highlighters go on too glittery or cakey if you're heavy-handed, but this one goes on like a second skin pretty much however you choose to apply.Clearly, there’s a reason this concealer has long been a cult-favorite industry-wide. But while this product is expensive, the hyaluronic acid, among other active ingredients, makes the concealer/highlighter hybrid extra hydrating, which is uncommon for most similar products I’ve used in the past. Usually retailing for $38, YSL’s Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Pen is definitely at a luxury price point. The Value: Expensive, but has a quality to match When you're indoors or maskless in approved settings, this glow will take you from day to night, no problem.) (I needed to touch-up near the end of the day, but I'd been outside wearing a mask for the majority of the day. With that minor caveat out of the way, I'm also pleased to report that the finish on this product was not only ultra-glowy, but it actually lasted for hours and hours. But for those that are just interested in sheer, everyday coverage and an unbelievable glow, the All-Over Brightening Pen is all you need. If you're looking to address concerns like dark circles, hyperpigmentation, or acne scars, I recommend applying the brand's High Cover Radiant Concealer first, then think of the All-Over Brightening Pen as the cherry on top. (In fact, the brand's website recommends using this product in conjunction with a traditional concealer if you're looking for coverage.) I found this to be true it took a few additional applications of this product to cover the dark circles under my eyes, but luckily the formula is buildable-an extra layer didn't feel cakey or crease. While this product effortlessly illuminated my skin with just a few drops, it's important to note that this product doesn't perform like a high-coverage concealer-nor does it claim to. There was absolutely no oily-looking shine, no shimmer, and no glitter-just the most natural-looking, lit-from-within radiance. The results were immediate-my complexion was instantly brighter and blurred with the softest candlelit glow. Immediately upon applying this product, I noticed how smoothly it glided onto (and into!) my skin. A product that can operate as a concealer or a highlighter is a major bonus. For highlighter, I prefer a natural, non-glittery finish. My favorite concealers tend to be high-coverage and easily disguise any eyelid hyperpigmentation and under-eye circles, like Tarte's Shape Tape Concealer or Glossier’s Stretch Concealer. As such, I like to keep my weekday makeup minimal most days, you'll catch me wearing concealer, mascara, and maybe lipstick if I’m feeling extra.
