There are times, of course, when you need to hire a car by the day – perhaps it that is as long as you might need it, or maybe your plans are sufficiently flexible that your not yet sure just how long you will be needing the vehicle. To accompany such an arrangement, the rental company will offer the customer a daily car hire insurance rate.

At its most basic, this is most likely to include any third party cover required by law in the country in which you will be driving, plus a Collision Damage Waiver and theft cover, so that you are protected by the necessary elements of insurance against loss or damage to the rented vehicle. As with the standard forms of insurance included in most companies’ rental prices, however, an excess is incorporated into the cover, so that the hirer him or herself continues to shoulder a hefty first proportion of any bill for repairs. In the UK, for example, this excess is typically £600, but £1,000 is not at all uncommon.

Since the daily rental is only a fraction of this amount, therefore, the hirer could stand to foot a bill for any loss or damage to the vehicle that is many times the cost of the car itself. Added to this is the fact that most Collision Damage Waiver provisions do not include damage to the roof, underside, tyres or glass windows of the vehicle and necessary repairs to any of these would need … Continue Reading ...

You need to reach Level 27 if you want to be one of the top players in Restaurant City. This puts you at the top level of this Facebook game, giving you the biggest possible restaurant, the greatest number of options, and the most possibilities for fun!

The key to getting to Level 27 is to earn vast numbers of Gourmet Points (GP). To help you with this, I’ve got some tips to share. First off, let’s get clear about this. Gourmet Points are the game’s way of telling when you have earned the next level. Getting your first few levels is easy. But as you go up in levels, you need to earn ever more GP to continue moving up. Just as in real life, it is easy to dabble in something, but a lot harder to become an expert. To reach that expert level faster, keep in mind these two tips:

• Make some Level 10 dishes. You want some Level 10 dishes because the get you more GP than lower level dishes. That means having a few Level 10 dishes to serve will make your life much easier. Even better, you don’t have to have all Level 10 dishes. All you really need is one each Level 10 Starter, Main, and Dessert. With those three, you can offer an all-Level 10 menu and earn the most GP per customer.
• Choose the right dishes to level. You need to figure out how hard it will be to level each

Daily Life Therapy (DLT) method also known as Higashi was developed in the 1960s by Dr. Kiyo Kitahara at the Musashino Higashi Gakuen School in Tokyo, Japan. She developed the method through what she learned from teaching a child with autism in a mainstream education kindergarten class. Her main objective was to develop self-esteem of the autism children and create emotional security for them.

Higashi is a Japanese word which means ‘hope’ and it is a holistic approach to integrate autism children with other normal children to study together in one group. There are a few methods used in this approach such as providing a systematic education by involving group dynamics, modelling, physical activities, art, music, academic, and vocational training.

How DLT (Higashi) works

Behavior management in DLT does not involve the measurement of neglect, punishment, time-out procedures or through medication. DLT is not to treat or to cure Autism Syndrome Disorder (ASD), but is believed to provide other important benefits such as improving the skill of ability, flexibility and function appropriately when they are with internal community and also activities involving family. Activities are group-oriented and highly structured with an emphasis on learning transmitted from child to child through synchronisation and imitation.

The Higashi approach emphasises group learning in the context of a programs which includes vigorous physical activity to develop both strength and concentration. Physical activity is one of the academic curriculum’s of children with autism and it is a challenge for their ability level as well as … Continue Reading ...

Rome, the capital city of Italy, is historically known as ‘City of Seven Hills.’ According to Roman mythology, the seven hills of early Rome were the Cermalus, Cispius, Fagutal, Oppius, Palatium, Sucusa and Velia. But now the modern ‘City of Seven Hills’ includes Myrtle, Blossom, Clock Tower, Jackson, Lumpkin and Old Shorter hills and Mount Aventine.

In the beginning, all the seven hills were occupied by different small hamlet and were not grouped or recognized as a city called Rome. The residents of the seven hills started participating in a series of religious games which started bonding the groups together. The city of Rome thus came into being as these separate settlements acted as a group, draining the marshy valleys between them and turning them into markets. Rome became the most beautiful city in the world that soon started governing the whole world.

Five out of seven hills of current Rome are populated with monuments, buildings and parks. The Capitoline now hosts the Municipality of Rome and the Palatine Hill is an archaeological area. The monuments of Rome still stand as a reminder of Rome as one of the greatest centers of western civilization.

The Eternal City is home to rich heritage and art. There are many lavish ancient palaces and one of them is the ‘Golden House of Nero’. Built on about 200 acres of land, the palace has a 150 foot statue of Nero in the nude at the entrance. The only ancient building which remains intact today … Continue Reading ...

Just walking around the streets of the city can be like walking around the halls of a cultural museum. In fact, it might even be better since you’re actually a part of the diversity and culture. If you are looking to experience a culture other than your own, you probably won’t have to walk more than a few blocks outside of your door.

You can easily experience many aspects of different cultures by going to the different ethnic neighborhoods that exist throughout the city. For example, if you could just never afford that trip to China that you’ve always dreamed of, when living in New York City … Continue Reading ...
