Home 2 go vacation rentals12/28/2023 ![]() ![]() So why was I not contacted? How did they manage to rebook it that quickly and why has no one got back to me with an explanation? Luckily we found another property that was available, and much nicer, but we have not had our deposit returned. Why take the balance payment on the day you arrive? And why not speak to me so I could contact bank? They also told me there was another family coming in on Tuesday 20th June so we couldn’t stay longer than the one night. ![]() After sleepless night I finally got through to HTG next morning who told us they had cancelled booking as my bank had not paid the balance. Amenities, amenities, amenities Kick back and relax. Then add the savings of not always eating out at restaurants. More value for your money Rent an entire home for half the price of a hotel. They said cancellation came through HTG and we would have to chase them, but in the meantime she and the property manager allowed us to stay in the property for one night as it was gone 11pm when we eventually got to there. The perfect vacation rental awaits Beachfront villas, city apartments or mountain cabins whatever, wherever your heart desires. No one available with Home To Go, but luckily got through to Agni Travel who we found villa through originally. I rang property manager to ask for directions and he told me my booking had been cancelled on 15th June! Not by me. We flew out to Corfu on Sunday 18th June, arriving at 10pm. Please don't insult peoples intelligence. I suggest this is not a good site to book on and for the record I have taken the trouble to go back on site to verify my statement and sure enough they want your card details as a priority and if there is a part before that to give you access to owners details then it must be in awfully small print as i can't see it A polite reply is easy but customer satisfaction not so It seems rather strange where your card details are entered it says :What our customers say about us: but of course these are all 4 and 5 star, not 1 bad review. Our professionally-managed vacation homes are private, safe, and 100 verified. Evolve makes vacation rental easy for guests and homeowners. They tell you no money will be taken at first stage but then ask for your card details. Arizona Vacation Rentals offers a wide selection of vacation rental homes, villas, condos and townhomes which are fully furnished, equipped with kitchens, spacious bedrooms with baths, vaulted ceilings and a variety of amenities including private pools, pool tables, BBQ's, big screen televisions and much more.

OMG was just about to book a villa in portugal but was cautious as they want to take your money before allowing any contact details for the person/company who own and actually rent the property, having read some of these shocking reviews have decided i just got lucky by not booking !! Sorry to the people who have been tucked up by these people but thanks for taking time to write reviews My advice to anyone looking to book on this site is if you have to part with money before having contact details to double check then don't. ![]()

Field trip ideas for middle school near me12/27/2023 ![]() The rising Asian community also seems to have given the Tories a hearing. Here, you find older owner-occupiers and commuters. While South Ruislip is the main Tory territory. The working-class area of Yiewsley is the most Labour friendly. Students dominate in the university areas around Uxbridge and Colham where more people live in rented homes. That said, look a little closer and it's an inconsistent picture. The latest census suggests the population has become younger, more educated, and more diverse than a decade ago, all likely indicators of Labour support. The area hasn't experienced the same urban development as much of the capital, but the demographics have been moving in Labour's favour. It even bucked the London trend to back Brexit.Ī suburban commuter town on the western edge of metropolitan London, it includes both a university and RAF Northolt. The pressure to pull off the big win is on Labour candidate Keir Mather.Īt just 25, if elected, he would be the youngest MP in the Commons - the so-called Baby of the House.Įstablished in 2010, the seat of Uxbridge has elected Conservatives since then.īoris Johnson, who resigned the seat last month over a report from MPs concerning whether he lied to parliament over the partygate controversy, won more than half the vote at each of the last three contests. So perhaps winning Selby should be within Labour's reach if it is to win a majority at the next general election. Intriguingly, the estimates drawn up for Selby's boundaries for 2005, Mr Blair's last election, put Labour just four points shy of the Conservatives. That is more than the record swing achieved by Tony Blair in 1997. The 18-point swing required for victory would be the best Labour has achieved this parliament.īy-elections aren't ideal predictors of general election performance but, if they do win Selby, no doubt Labour will remind us they need a 12-point national swing for a parliamentary majority. ![]() With the general election creeping closer, Sir Keir Starmer needs to show he can win votes directly from the Conservatives in places throughout England, not just those with Labour history. In Selby, we suggest one of around 45% would be in line with recent by-elections. Labour needs to persuade voters in Selby, Sherburn and Appleton who did not support them then to do so now. They finished just six points behind the Conservatives despite managing to win only four of the 15 wards within the constituency. The latest council elections in 2022 also provide Labour with hope. 37% of households have a mortgage and rising interest rates might impact the vote. Selby and Ainsty is in the top 40 seats in England and Wales for mortgage holders. The highest majority the party has overturned at a by-election is 14,654 votes in Mid-Staffordshire more than 30 years ago.īut while the demographics here might not be trending in Labour's favour, as more than a fifth of people are aged over 60, the issues are. If Labour were to win, it would set a record. ![]() Nigel Adams's decision to resign, because he was denied a peerage, means Selby will have a change of MP for the first time. Nestled in the North Yorkshire countryside, this seat is a mix of rural villages and towns surrounded by churches and historical battle sites.Īlmost everything about it says Tory heartland and since its creation in 2010 that's how people here have voted.

Best temperature for goldfish tank12/27/2023 ![]() ![]() If your other fish are a lot larger, you could have problems with them picking on your little Ryukin, but arranging your tank differently may help. They rarely hit 10-inches in length and some never grow beyond 6-inches. Ryukin prefers warmer water than the others in this part of the list (from 65 to 78☏) and are usually smaller, too. These hunched-backed fish are one of the few double tail fancy goldfish breeds that do well in ponds and as companions for single-tails! One of the more interesting options for a single-tailed goldfish companion, and a personal favorite of mine, is the fancy Ryukin goldfish. They need a minimum of a 20-gallon tank with the usual 10 to 15 gallons extra capacity per fish. Any single-tailed goldfish with this trait is a Shubunkin, even if it was bred from another line. Shubunkin usually looks blue with shimmering patches of red, orange, yellow, black, bronze, or pearlescent white. So tri-colored goldfish are different from calicos. The Shubunkin is also known as the Calico goldfish, but don’t get this color morph confused with the similarly-named domestic feline! Unlike calico cats, which have at least three colors of fur, these goldfish sport a special type of scale that alters their appearance. Shubunkin Goldfish Image Source: instagram They are easy to feed and will eat flake, floating, and sinking foods. You’ll need to be sure they don’t damage their fins on your tank decor as well. Since they have a longer tail, Comet goldfish do best in bigger 50-gallon tanks and I recommend adding an additional 10 to 15 gallons for every fish you add to your community. ![]() These fast swimmers usually end up between 10 and 12-inches long at maturity and prefer soft, sandy substrates to prevent injury to their delicate tails. The Comet Goldfish is a bit shorter and wider than the Common and has a wide-spread tail with sharp points on them. Common goldfish are available in a wide range of colors and patterns, although many will change colors as they mature. While a pond is ideal, you’ll need at least a 20-gallon tank for a single Common, and should add another 10 to 15 gallons on top of that for each additional feeder you add. The Common goldfish may be only a few inches long when you purchase them, but they usually grow quickly and can easily top 12-inches if they get enough food! The Common or feeder goldfish is what most of us picture when we hear the name “goldfish” and are an inexpensive addition to any large tank or pond. Consider these ideal companions for your single-tail goldfish aquarium: Common Goldfish The best options for tankmates are other single tail goldfish, although you can also keep these goldfish with koi in a pond. Single tails usually do well over a wide range of temperatures from 60 to 80☏ and readily eat a variety of fresh and commercial diets. Since most single tails can reach 10 to 12 inches in length, they are best kept in a pond rather than an aquarium. Single tail goldfish are known for their bright colors and their active and curious nature. Ideal Tank Mates For Single Tail Goldfish There’s often a trade-off when you’re picking between fish compatible with goldfish, as many species are not a perfect fit but may work in the right tank set-up.

Binaural hearing meaning12/27/2023 ![]() ![]() SOFA software libraries and files are collected at the Sofa Conventions website. In the AES69-2015 standard, the Audio Engineering Society (AES) has defined the SOFA file format for storing spatially oriented acoustic data like head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). All these characteristics will influence how (or whether) a listener can accurately tell what direction a sound is coming from. These modifications include the shape of the listener's outer ear, the shape of the listener's head and body, the acoustic characteristics of the space in which the sound is played, and so on. The HRTF can also be described as the modifications to a sound from a direction in free air to the sound as it arrives at the eardrum. HRTFs for left and right ear (expressed above as HRIRs) describe the filtering of a sound source ( x( t)) before it is perceived at the left and right ears as x L( t) and x R( t), respectively. The HRTF is the Fourier transform of HRIR. HRIRs have been used to produce virtual surround sound. Convolution of an arbitrary source sound with the HRIR converts the sound to that which would have been heard by the listener if it had been played at the source location, with the listener's ear at the receiver location. This impulse response is termed the head-related impulse response (HRIR). These modifications encode the source location and may be captured via an impulse response which relates the source location and the ear location. The monaural cues come from the interaction between the sound source and the human anatomy, in which the original source sound is modified before it enters the ear canal for processing by the auditory system. Among the difference cues are time differences of arrival and intensity differences. Humans estimate the location of a source by taking cues derived from one ear ( monaural cues), and by comparing cues received at both ears ( difference cues or binaural cues). This ability to localize sound sources may have developed in humans and ancestors as an evolutionary necessity since the eyes can only see a fraction of the world around a viewer, and vision is hampered in darkness, while the ability to localize a sound source works in all directions, to varying accuracy, This is possible because the brain, inner ear, and the external ears ( pinna) work together to make inferences about location. Humans have just two ears, but can locate sounds in three dimensions – in range (distance), in direction above and below (elevation), in front and to the rear, as well as to either side (azimuth). Some forms of HRTF processing have also been included in computer software to simulate surround sound playback from loudspeakers. Some consumer home entertainment products designed to reproduce surround sound from stereo (two-speaker) headphones use HRTFs. It is a transfer function, describing how a sound from a specific point will arrive at the ear (generally at the outer end of the auditory canal). But the response curve is more complex than a single bump, affects a broad frequency spectrum, and varies significantly from person to person.Ī pair of HRTFs for two ears can be used to synthesize a binaural sound that seems to come from a particular point in space. Generally speaking, the HRTF boosts frequencies from 2–5 kHz with a primary resonance of +17 dB at 2,700 Hz. As sound strikes the listener, the size and shape of the head, ears, ear canal, density of the head, size and shape of nasal and oral cavities, all transform the sound and affect how it is perceived, boosting some frequencies and attenuating others. ![]() Response that characterizes how an ear receives a sound from a point in space HRTF filtering effectĪ head-related transfer function ( HRTF), also known as anatomical transfer function ( ATF), or a head shadow, is a response that characterizes how an ear receives a sound from a point in space. ![]()

Actually Translucentįor a powder to truly count as translucent, it has to be invisible on the skin without changing the coverage or color of your foundation. These are the features we kept in mind when deciding which translucent powders deserve our recommendation. The most important feature? They’re colorless, so one translucent powder can be used across a wide range of skin tones without altering the color of makeup below. They often have a slight diffusing effect that makes the skin appear smoother. Translucent powders also take away shine from oily skin. If you want to go truly hardcore, you can even try “ baking” your makeup with translucent powder, which is a more intense setting technique.
