5 Tips In Finding Hotel

Artikel-bahasainggris.blogspot.com - You are planning a holiday abroad for your

family, and want everyone to have a good time. You surf the internet for hotel
descriptions, but from the pictures you see and what you read, all hotels project a
perfect image of themselves. How can you know which one is better? You have
never been there and knows nothing of your destination. At the same time, you do
not want a hotel room to spend your budget. How do you choose?

Check Independent Hotel Rating

Well, the first step you can take is to visit the hotel to see the search engine ratings
from previous visitors. In order assessments for every hotel, most agents ask for
an assessment of previous guests. Reading their comments will give you a fair
idea of what to expect from the hotel which is located in your destination. Make
sure to read some of the comments in order to get a fair picture. Certain incidents
described only a rare occurrence that may have been corrected.

Hotel Chains and Facilities

Are they part of an international hotel chain? Most international chains have strict
standards attached and the default theme in all of the chain. They may have the
same amenities (health club, spa, business center, etc.) are essential to maintain a
high standard of hotel. Other things you can look out for shuttle services including
concierge, to the city, airport transfers and laundry service is good.
Location
Perhaps one of the most important things when choosing a hotel is the location.
Hotels close to shopping center, train station or city center level higher charge
than those located elsewhere. Analyzing maps of the area before you order to
determine the nearest shopping center or access to the train station that will
provide you with a lot of ease in moving around. Also, check with the hotel if they
have a large tour groups arrive at the same time. Hotel costs are higher during
periods of high occupancy, and do not have the flexibility of late check-out. This
is an important aspect that, if ignored, can affect your tour itinerary and your
impression of the level of hotel hospitality.

Prices and Discounts

The hotel rates are a huge factor when it comes to choosing a hotel. However,
paying more does not always mean that you will receive an equivalent level of
service and standards. One way to maximize the price will check if they are part
of an alliance with airlines or car rental companies, offering customers a discount
for their allies. Sometimes, credit card companies offer their cardholders exclusive
rate for special which can be very interesting. In addition, if it is possible to use
your frequent flyer points to redeem hotel discounts, this could help reduce the
cost of the hotel as well.

Boutique Hotel
Finally, apart from chain hotels, boutique hotels may be a good alternative for a
romantic place for couples or families looking for a more typical of the theme.
Many boutique hotels have less space but offer value added services such as in-
room spa bed, breakfast in bed or even in-room massages. In the end, your choice
of hotel really depends on what you want from your holiday.

The big bonfire

The U.S. already has a de facto climate policy

My daughter Ren celebrated her 25th birthday last summer. She's a member of
what I call Generation B, where B stands for "bonfire." Since her birth, more than
half of all the fossil fuel consumed in human history has been burned, and more
than half the greenhouse gas emissions humans have ever produced has gone
skyward.

As it steadily accumulates in the atmosphere, this enormous plume, now

measuring 30 billions tons each year, is enough to melt glaciers, strand polar bears
on sea ice, shrink the Colorado River, and alter the climate on which life depends.

Earlier this year, hopes for a national policy that would finally tackle global
warming ran high, and prospects for an international climate treaty looked
promising. But though the House passed a climate bill in June, the Senate (motto:
"Where good ideas go to die") has kicked the can down the road while it struggles
with health care reform. And since the Chinese, now the world's largest polluters,
are reluctant to reduce their emissions, December's climate summit in
Copenhagen, Denmark, seems unlikely to produce much more than "provisional
targets" and "tentative promises."

Lately, I've begun to wonder whether that's all bad. Indeed, we may already have
most of the climate policy we are ever going to have, an ad hoc and accidental
assemblage of energy policies and economic realities that may prove surprisingly
effective at further reducing emissions.

Although global emissions are still rising, and the climate problem is far from
solved, U.S. emissions are falling, fast. Since 2007, they are down 9 percent, in
large part because Americans are using 2 million barrels less oil each day. Lester
Brown of the Earth Policy Institute believes that "the United States has entered a
new energy era. Peak carbon is now history. What had appeared to be hopelessly
difficult is happening at amazing speed."

Economic devastation is one cause of lower emissions: Burdened with debt and
starved for credit, the growth engine has seized. Across the West, construction is
at a standstill, sprawl on sabbatical. In my once-thriving valley, storefronts are
blinking out and idle architects are brewing beer in their bathtubs. The federal
government will borrow $1.4 trillion this year, trying to "stimulate" the economy.
But the Phoenix is not rising: Ten percent of Americans are unemployed and 30
million are on food stamps. With many families underwater on their mortgage, it's
a season not for Jingle Bells but for jingle mail.

Other elements of our de facto climate policy include an informal moratorium on

new coal plants -- coal power accounts for about 30 percent of U.S. emissions --
aggressive efficiency and renewable energy standards, and higher gasoline prices.
Moratorium may be too strong a word, but new coal plants are becoming
increasingly difficult to permit, finance and build. Nearly 100 proposed plants --
including some in Montana, Utah, Nevada and Arizona -- have already been
cancelled or put on hold.

Over the coming decades, coal is likely to lose market share to wind, solar and
natural gas. Thirty-four states have adopted renewable electricity standards, and
some of them are quite aggressive. California hopes to reach 33 percent by 2020,
which means that on some days wind, sun, and geothermal will need to provide
half the state's electricity. Achieving that lofty ambition will require enormous
investments in new power plants and associated transmission lines in that state
and adjoining Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Washington.

Although the recent "cash for clunkers" program was poorly executed, it indicates
a renewed focus on resource conservation. Saving energy, water, soil and carbon
-- plugging the leaks -- will be essential if we hope to reboot the economy; some
economists argue that future growth will be impossible without it. About 60
percent of the energy that currently flows into the U.S. economy is lost, generally
as waste heat. All across the landscape -- power plants, cars, planes, big-screen
TVs, buildings, light bulbs, air conditioners -- there's massive room for
improvement.

Thrift was once an American virtue and will, of necessity, be so again. Our
contemporary civilization was designed around $10-a-barrel oil, but that's long
gone. Higher gasoline prices, courtesy of a coming collapse in Mexican petroleum
exports and booming car markets in Asia, will further reduce U.S. oil imports and
kick-start hybrid-electric and all-electric vehicles. We now buy 1 million barrels a
day of Maya crude, but by 2015 Mexico likely won't be exporting any oil because
its largest field, Cantarell, is crashing. In years to come, U.S. motorists who pull
into a service station will be bidding against millions of first-time drivers in India
and China.

For decades, Westerners have boisterously celebrated and vociferously

complained about growth. Besieged by its impacts, we debated whether "slow
growth" or "smart growth" might be better. But now, for the first time in 30 years,
the American bonfire is not growing. This is the new normal, a strange operating
condition most of us have never experienced.

The economy may be stuck in the ditch, but on climate, says Brown, "We are
headed in the right direction." Still, he adds, we have a ways to go: "We do not yet
know how much we can cut carbon emissions because we are just beginning to
make a serious effort. Whether we can move fast enough to avoid catastrophic
climate change remains to be seen."

(Don't) Let it burn

News - From the September 03, 2012 issue by Emily Guerin

This summer, Forest Service firefighters are stomping out wildfires they might
have let burn in other years. A 'temporary' policy change requires local foresters to
get permission from their regional supervisors for anything but full suppression,
owing to fears that the current hot, dry conditions could cause remote fires to rage
out of control. And too many large, expensive firefighting efforts might break the
agency's reduced budget.

Critics say this could delay the ecological restoration of many fire-deprived
Western forests and resembles the agency's pre-1995 full-suppression policy. They
also note that the budget conditions that led to the decision are unlikely to change
soon and may actually get worse, meaning that the temporary policy might
become permanent. Firefighting dollars have always been variable, but since the
recession Congress has given the agency less each year. "If you're looking to push
fire management in a new and ecologically enlightened direction, it is not a
positive sign," said Greg Aplet, a forester for The Wilderness Society.

Foods That Cause Acne

Artikel-bahasainggris.blogspot.com - Foods That Cause Acne. Acne is one of

the most hated enemy by everyone, especially women. Acne is not including a
dangerous disease. But its presence is very annoying, though acne is not harmful
but should we treat and handle well.
Acne is caused by clogged pores due to overactive oil glands. Although many
medical experts who denied any connection between acne with the food we eat,
there's no harm in avoiding some foods that supposedly can trigger acne.

Here are some foods can cause acne:

1. Sugar and Chocolate

Chocolate may be one of the most food trigger acne. Archives of Dermatology
published a study which explains that the food has a high Glycemic Index scale,
usually in processed carbohydrates such as sugar can cause the appearance of acne
due to increased hormone levels.

2. Milk
Some studies show a high milk intake may be associated with the appearance of
acne. A Harvard study found that teens who drink milk more than two servings a
day are more likely to suffer from severe acne. That is because the increase in
growth hormone which causes the sebaceous glands in the skin become clogged.

3. Iodine
Iodine may be one factor in the appearance of acne, such as skin oil glands which
can irritate skin that is prone to acne. Iodine can be found in fish and shellfish
because sea water contains iodine. In addition other sources comes from iodized
salt which is a component of several types of canned food.

4.Caffeine and Alcohol

Caffeine is considered to trigger the appearance of acne because it can affect
hormone levels produced by the body. Some sources of caffeine are coffee, tea,
soft drinks, and chocolate. In addition, alcohol also causes an increase in
hormones, particularly testosterone can cause acne more often.

5. Food Allergy Triggers

Skin problems often arise due to food allergies, especially milk and eggs. Acne
appears due to the immune system tries to fight the poison that is felt. An allergist
has diagnosed and confirmed the relationship of food allergy with severe acne.

6. Fruit and Vegetable Characteristically Acid

Some fruits and vegetables that are acidic can cause the appearance of acne, such
as carrots, cucumbers, oranges, and lettuce. The acidity of the body can cause the
appearance of acne, because it should be avoided.
Those are some foods that can trigger the onset of Acne.
