Things to consider when booking a hotel in Brooklyn

admin

Brooklyn, the most densely populated district in New York City (NYC) is a favorite tourist destination for many people around the world. The district is hesitant to be overshadowed by neighboring Manhattan, and boasts a lively culture and uniqueness. Brooklyn features a perfect blend of world cultures and world-renowned attractions. From a walk across the famous Brooklyn Bridge, a trip to landscaped Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, Coney Island, Green-Wood Cemetery, etc. Brooklyn awaits you with many more attractions.

To ensure a comfortable trip to Brooklyn, you must select and book a Brooklyn hotel that meets your needs and tastes. This can be a bewildering task, as the district is packed with a variety of luxury, boutique and budget hotels to suit your travel needs, be it a leisure trio or a business trip. Even if you are on vacation in Manhattan, you can easily choose to be in Brooklyn, as Brooklyn hotels will be priced less than their Manhattan counterparts. Two of the key factors to consider before booking a Brooklyn hotel are: the hotel’s proximity to major locations and the rates.

Hotel in an easy to explore location

This factor is especially important if you are on a leisure or family trip with the primary intention of exploring the beauty and landmarks of Brooklyn. If the Brooklyn hotel you select is close to the places you want to explore, it will save you a lot of travel time. There are hotels near Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park and they are located in downtown Brooklyn. There are beautiful boutique and luxury hotels located in the vicinity of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

If you plan to explore Manhattan, hotels near the Queens section of Long Island City can be a great option. Although these hotels lack a vibrant location, you’ll be only a few blocks from several subway stations to make your trip to Manhattan easier. There are a multiplicity of hotels that are within walking distance of various restaurants, lounges, shopping venues, government and corporate offices. Corporate travel can be made more comfortable by opting for a hotel that is close to corporate offices.

Hotel that fits your bill

Brooklyn is home to a number of expensive and opulent hotels that lavish luxury and less expensive boutique hotels for budget conscious travelers. High-end luxury hotels in Brooklyn will be less expensive than comparable hotel rooms in Manhattan. The municipality boasts a variety of accommodation facilities ranging from renowned hotel chains, boutique hotels, and bed and breakfasts. Most of the high-end hotels are also conveniently located.

With a variety of room options, luxury hotels offer the perfect combination of a comfortable stay with great amenities. The rooms will be designed with touches of class and elegance to evoke a sense of pride in guests. On-site facilities such as restaurants, spa, massage parlors, gym, etc. will also be featured. Most high-end hotels have a 24-hour business center so business travelers can manage their work outside of the office.

If you are a budget conscious customer, you can save a lot on accommodation by dropping a star or two while selecting a Brooklyn hotel. If you think you can avoid a flat-screen TV or hot tub, opt for less expensive boutique hotels that combine sleek, clean, and fresh design with expert service. The Brooklyn hotel you choose, whether it’s an ultra-luxury hotel or a mid-size boutique hotel, Brooklyn will never fail to make your trip a pleasant experience.

More dining options at the University of West Florida

admin

As a current student at the University of West Florida, I frequently like the dining options that are available on campus. In my freshman year, I had the displeasure of having a meal plan. Where I was forced to eat 12 meals a week at the Nautilus Market, an all you can eat option. Also, I had to spend $ 300 at another provider on campus. It was necessary and expensive. I propose that the University of West Florida provide students with better dining options on campus.

Currently, there are 11 places to eat something on campus. However, four of them are just take-out coffees, so I wouldn’t consider them viable options. These cafes are good at their locations. They are in specific buildings like the commercial building and the library. These are good options if you are in a rush.

Where UWF Dining really needs help is in the commons. We have the Nautilus Market, an option that is primarily for freshmen and students with meal plans. They give many options, however, they are not good. The food literally made me sick multiple times. Also, the only healthy / vegan / vegetarian options are salads. Personally, I think the salad tastes like it has been drizzled with preservatives. Also, in the commons there are Quiznos; it’s decent if you like Quiznos. The chick-n-grill shouldn’t even be considered a restaurant, because it has no flavor. He is a chipotle who wants to be, and fails. The Argo Galley is good. They have beer and wine. Their food is basic bar food but expensive.

I did some research on other schools’ dining options and what I found was disappointing. The University of Florida has chain options throughout its campus. They have Panda Express, Einstein Bagels, and Moe’s Southwest Grill; FSU has even more! It could be argued that theses are significantly larger schools and are Division 1 in athletics. However, even other D2 schools in Florida like Nova SouthEastern, Barry, Flagler, and the University of North Florida have better dining options than UWF. Nova has a Subway, an Au Bon Pain, and an Eisenstein Bagels. UNF has a Jamba Juice, a super popular fast food chicken joint, and a Pita Pit. Even just bringing a Pita Pit could make a world of difference. The local Pita Pit is always busy at lunchtime, and this could attract more students to stay and eat on campus.

The University of West Florida needs to step up its dining options. Food is a must and if students are unhappy, that could be a determining factor for which school they choose to go to.

4 important things about an expat work permit in Indonesia

admin

What do you need to know about the Indonesian expat work permit?

Article 1 (13) of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Labor (“Labor Law”) defines foreign workers (“expatriates”) as holders of foreign citizenship visas who come to Indonesia with the intention to work within the territory of Indonesia. Expatriates are foreign workers who live outside their home country and settle abroad, for example in Indonesia. Employers wishing to hire Expats to work with them in Indonesia must ensure that Expats have acquired a full set of Expatriate Work Permits as stipulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower.

In this article, we will delve into 4 (four) important things that all Employers hiring and / or in the process of hiring Expatriates should know and understand:

1. Who can be a sponsor of a work visa?

Only the following entities can sponsor Expats in Indonesia:

• Government institutions, international organizations, representatives of foreign states;
• Representative offices of foreign chambers, foreign companies or foreign news;
• Foreign Direct Investment Companies (Penanaman Modal Asing or PMA);
• Legal entities that are established based on Indonesian laws or foreign business entities that are registered with an authorized institution in Indonesia (ie Foreign Representative Office);
• Social, religious, educational and cultural institutions; and
• Entertainment organizer business services (impresariat).

Entities in the form of a civil association, firm, limited partnership, business partnerships and individuals are prohibited from employing and / or acting as sponsor of Expatriates unless the Laws and Regulations stipulate otherwise.

DKP-TKA payment obligation for employers / sponsors

Employers or sponsors must pay the Skills and Experience Development Fund (“DKP-TKA”) in the amount of USD 100 / month (USD 1200 / year) for each Expatriate hired to work in Indonesia. DKP-TKA is paid in full at the beginning of the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) work permit application procedure, for the period of employment that has been approved by the Minister of Manpower.

The following employers or sponsors are not required to pay DKP-TKA:

• Government Agencies / Institutions;
• International agencies (eg WHO, ILO, UNICEF, etc.);
• Representatives of foreign countries;
• Social institutions; and
• Religious institutions.

2. Prohibited positions for expatriates

The following are the reasons expats work in Indonesia:

• As owner of the sponsoring company (Investor / Shareholders) and / or to act as a member of the Company’s Board of Executives (ie: Chairman / Director);
• As experts in certain skills, for the transfer of knowledge to Indonesians.

Please note that Indonesian law regulates that expatriates cannot fill certain positions in Indonesia. These prohibited positions are primarily in the Human Resource Development (HRD) field, such as Personnel Director, Human Resources Manager, and HRD-related Supervisors. The complete list of prohibited positions for expatriates is stipulated in the Decree of the Ministry of Manpower No. 40 of 2012 (“Labor Decree No. 40/2012”).

Apart from the prohibited positions listed in the Manpower Decree No. 40/2012, there are other prohibited positions for Expatriates working in certain fields, such as in the Oil and Gas Industry.

Ban for expatriates from holding multiple positions

In accordance with article 41 of the Decree of the Ministry of Manpower no. 16 of 2015 (“Manpower Decree No. 16/2015”), employers cannot double-post Expatriates in multiple positions, such as:

• Employing expatriates for dual positions, whether both positions are within the same company or in different companies;
• Employing expatriates who are currently employed by other employers.

Expatriates serving as members of the Board of Directors or the Board of Commissioners are exempt from the prohibition of double publication.

3. Procedures for obtaining work permits

Every employer employing Expatriates is required to obtain written permission from the Ministry of Manpower (“Work Permits”). The following are the procedures for obtaining work permits in Indonesia:

Permits to be owned by the Sponsoring Company:

• Plan for the recruitment of foreign workers (Rencana Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing or “RPTKA”);
• Telex Vitas;
• Permit to hire foreign workers (Izin Memperkerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing or “IMTA”);

4. Obligations to obtain other licenses for expatriates

After a certain period of time, Expatriates working in Indonesia must obtain other licenses to fulfill their obligations as stipulated in the Manpower Decree No. 16 of 2015. The obligations are as follows:

• Tax compliance

Article 36 of the Decree on manpower no. 16 of 2015 requires expatriates who have worked for more than 6 (six) months in Indonesia to obtain the Taxpayer Identification Number (Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak or “NPWP”). NPWP functions as tax compliance for legal subjects in Indonesia.

Tire defects in personal injury cases

admin

Tire defects are a frequent cause of car accidents that result in injuries and lead to lawsuits. When a tire is believed to be defective, a lawsuit is usually brought against the manufacturer. In some cases, however, the lawsuit can also be filed against the tire dealer or even a mechanic who performed the tire maintenance.

Tires may look like simple pieces made from nothing but rubber, but they are actually complex and made from many different materials, including oils, silica, steel, and adhesives. If the manufacturer uses cheaper adhesives or does not cook the tire properly in the production process, a defect may occur. Contaminants can also enter the rubber during production and cause tire problems. These would be considered manufacturing defects.

On the other hand, in some cases, the tire design is the problem. Steel belts, for example, may be the wrong size. This is a common reason for belt tread separation, which is implicated in several accidents each year.

Not so long ago, many accidents happened after tire blowout on SUV when the tire tread separated and the vehicles rolled over. (SUVs are particularly vulnerable to rollovers because the underside of the vehicle is lighter than the top.) Explosions can also be the result of a tire rim defect which then punctures the rim.

While rare, a tire can sometimes explode while being inflated, causing serious injury. When this happens, the reason for the explosion can be difficult to pin down. It could be a tire defect or it could be a problem with the air compression device, for example.

As you can see, tire defects can be responsible for serious accidents that can lead to permanent and debilitating injury or death.

Various types of tire defects can lead to accidents:

• Tire explosion
• Blowouts
• Tread separation
• Separation of belts

These defects can create a variety of accidents, such as:

• Lost of control
• Rollovers
• Skating
• Diverting
• Spinning
• Get off the road

Any of these problems can easily involve other vehicles or cause a car to crash or skip a median. If a tire explodes or falls off while on a dangerous stretch of road, the car can fall onto an embankment and explode. When drivers lose control of their cars, they can hit other cars and cause a crash. Pieces of a tire can also be thrown and injure people outside of vehicles, as well as damage other cars on the road or cause other drivers to lose control of their cars.

As a result, these cases can sometimes involve a series of lawsuits with many plaintiffs. The possibilities are numerous, and because running off the road or losing control of the car can be attributed to more than one reason, a full investigation of the accident scene, the car, and the tire involved should be conducted.

Product liability claims due to tire defects

Attorneys who handle these types of personal injury claims are often referred to as “product liability attorneys.” Of course, tire defect cases can involve anything that uses a tire: cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and construction equipment.

Manufacturers sometimes become aware of a defect and recall a particular tire model. However, such a withdrawal is not necessarily an admission of guilt or a dunk for a plaintiff in a lawsuit. The plaintiff has yet to prove that it was the tire defect that caused the accident and the resulting injuries.

A Bridgestone / Firestone recall in 2000 was due to a model that was prone to tire separation. This defect caused nearly 300 deaths and, as a result, the manufacturer recalled more than 14 million tires.

It is also important to note that not all tire related accidents are the result of tire defects. If a tire explodes due to road debris, it is not the fault of the tire manufacturer or the driver. In that case, unless people left the debris on the road, the injured party’s insurance would have to bear the cost of the injuries, as there would be no one to sue.

An object such as a nail can also get stuck in a tire and cause it to explode. Therefore, unless there has already been a recall with an established defect in a particular tire model, it can be difficult to prove that a defect caused the accident.

Too low or too high air pressure can also cause blowouts, and this cannot be attributed to a defect. High air temperatures in some regions of the world can also lead to tire failure.

If the driver reacted to a tire blowout in a way that caused the accident, such as sudden braking, the driver could also be found to be at least partially responsible for the resulting injuries and damages. The driver could be at fault if he or she knew there was a problem with the tire and decided to drive with it anyway.

Warning signs that tire failure is imminent include cracks in the sidewall or tread, uneven tread, bumps in the tread that are an indication of possible tread separation, tremors on the road, tire bumps while driving and / or radial pull to the side while driving.

Also, if a commercial vehicle, such as a van or truck, is involved in the accident, the cause could be improper tire maintenance rather than a manufacturing defect. Again, the manufacturer would not be the defendant in that case, but the company responsible for maintaining the vehicle could be sued.

Of course, the manufacturer’s attorneys will do everything in their power to show that an accident was not caused by a defect in the company’s tires. This is why expert investigators are a must for plaintiffs, who could have suffered very costly catastrophic injuries or wrongful death in the accident. Attorneys handling product defect cases, particularly automobiles, will have experts available to provide reports on behalf of plaintiffs.

The power of storytelling

admin

Remember the end of The Wizard of Oz, when Glenda, the good witch, asks Dorothy what she had learned on her journey. Dorothy says, “I guess I learned that when you want and desire your heart’s desire but can’t find it, then maybe it’s in your own backyard and you really lost it to begin with.”

The ideas that many parents want their children to embrace, such as cooperation, kindness, or honesty, can be the most difficult concepts for parents to convey. In the blink of an eye, young people see a conference approaching and quickly mentally withdraw, leaving a black expression that almost every parent recognizes with a sigh.

Fortunately, “in their own backyard”, parents already have a strategy that is fully capable of conveying these messages effectively to prepared and open ears. I invite you to rediscover a secret weapon that you have always had, and to which young people have always responded, history.

An ancient treasure

In these days of “virtual-this” and “electronic-that,” there are those who might relegate storytelling to the dusty realm of a bygone era. Yet the storytelling remains strongly embedded in our human cultural experience after all those years. We see it emerge in many ways. From advertisers ‘sales speeches to speeches by public figures, to broadcasters’ fervent promise of “More on that story after our commercial hiatus …”

Among children, however, the narrative has an even stronger and deeper magic. In fact, children seem to demand stories just as insistently as they are hungry for attention or food.

Transfixed by stories

Parents around the world will attest to the phenomenon of children and stories. The magical opening, “Once upon a time …” or “Many years ago …” will focus on the young eyes that, just now, had been flying aimlessly across the ceiling. Informal event openings like, “Here’s a story I heard today that you might like …” or “Did you hear the story about …?” bring dangling, impatient feet to freeze mid-swing. A child absorbed in the travels of a wandering fruit fly directs all his attention to the narrator of the story. The feeling of concentration is palpable.

As a Girl Scout leader, I was once hauling a truck full of surprisingly raucous 6-year-old Brownies. Three times I stopped the car to reprimand the criminals for fighting, yellowing, shooting, hitting. It was all in vain. Lost, I inserted a fairy tale CD. Instantly, the entire carriage calmed down. The would-be hooligans remained completely immobile until the story was finished, at which point they almost instantly went back to mischief. The next story began, and once again a silence replaced the chaos.

Why do stories capture children’s attention? On the one hand, the pattern of stories (a beginning-middle-end) establishes a structure that children recognize and understand. The ending is sure to be satisfying: the triumph of the youngest of three children, the tackling of impossible tasks, the glory of a troubled romance arranged. Popular themes in fairy tales demonstrate to children, as Bruno Bettleheim says in his classic study The uses of enchantment, “that a struggle against serious difficulties in life is inevitable”, but that if one faces difficulties, “he will overcome all obstacles and in the end he will be victorious.”

In fact, children seem to respond well to any story that offers magic or fantasy, perhaps because, being young, they live more closely with the outer worlds of magic and fantasy. When my oldest daughter was 4 1/2 years old, she had started the morning with a small hole in her pants that at the end of the day exposed most of her knee. “That hole is getting so big,” I warned him, “you’re going to fall into it soon.” “Are you kidding!” she said with a chuckle, and then she looked directly at me – “right?” As children enter elementary school, their personal sense of time and place heightens, but the world of magic and the land of stories draws to the frontiers.

Contemporary stories from modern life can also capture powerful claims in a child’s heart when the story features the child, family members, friends, or other people the child knows. Openings like, “Did I tell you the story of your wild grandfather Louis, who made the whole town panic when …” or “I’ll never forget what happened when you were just learning to walk and …?” the attention of a child due to the personalized nature of the story.

Add to all the factors the experience of listening to a story, that is, the voice of a narrator, the impact of direct eye contact, the entertaining quality of hand gestures, facial expressions, improvisations, and dramatic reactions to events. in the story, and it’s no wonder kids are mesmerized by the stories.

The simple fact that stories reliably capture children’s attention creates a unique and meaningful opportunity for parents. While young people often respond reluctantly, if not overtly rebellious, to direct instructions from parents on how to behave, those same children will accept and absorb the same ideas when they are woven into a story.

As a parent, what scenario do you prefer? Relate instructions to a child whose expression dares to say: “Whatever you are selling, I am not buying it!”. Or to offer those same instructions to a child whose expression says, “Really? Tell me more. Now.”

While we can agree that stories are a powerful conduit, it is also clear that stories by themselves do not necessarily convey positive messages. In fact, stories can just as easily convey negative messages, and they often do. Imagine that a story is a form of transportation, a kind of express vehicle. Its content can be crisp fresh apples or its content can be boxes of explosives. The content that is uploaded to the “storytelling express at the beginning of your journey will determine what is received at your destination. As a parent, your role is to upload worthwhile messages in your storytelling express and send it to your destination, the heart of your kid.

16 essential oils for your dog

admin

Essential oils can produce the desired result faster than herbs. One drop of peppermint oil equals 26 cups of peppermint tea. Essential oils have multiple effects in which many medications generally have only one medical property plus negative side effects.

Some health professionals do not recommend applying essential oils to their paws. Pets lick their feet and this could cause possible irritation as saliva is similar to water. Essential oils quickly penetrate the skin. Compounds like fertilizers, antifreeze, and other poisons may be absorbed more quickly when essential oils are applied to the feet.

I have followed the advice of Dr. Nancy Brandt, DVM and have used the knowledge in my dog ​​breeding business. She is a holistic veterinarian located in Las Vegas, NV and uses Young Living essential oils in her practice. Most essential oils need to be diluted with a base or carrier oil before applying to your pet. For dogs, the recommendation is 1 drop of essential oil per 10 drops of base / carrier oil and for cats, rabbits and ferrets, 1 drop of essential oil per 25 drops of base / carrier oil. You can listen to Dr. Brandt’s lecture on 9/29/2009 online on the 16 Young Living Essential Oils a Pet Owner Should Have on Hand.

In my opinion, the best base or carrier oil is cold-pressed organic olive oil, grapeseed oil, or fractionated coconut oil. Avoid nut oils if your pet is allergic to nuts. I recommend using Young Living’s V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex as a base / carrier oil. The ingredients in V-6 are Fractionated Coconut Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Triticum vulgare (wheat), Helianthus annuus Seed oil (sunflower) and Olea Europaea fruit oil (olive). Cold-pressed olive oil and grapeseed oil are other options to use as a base / carrier oil.

Oil and water don’t mix; the water makes the oil irritate your pet’s skin. If your pet has a sensitivity to any essential oil, dilute the oil with base / carrier oil or add more base / carrier oil where you applied the essential oil. If any essential oil gets into your pet’s eyes, rinse with base / carrier oil, never water.

Choose essential oils made by Young Living. They are therapeutic grade and processed correctly. They are organic and do not contain toxic, such as pesticides. Not all essential oils can be taken internally. Young Living essential oils are one of the few essential oils that can be safely taken internally. There are 42 species of frankincense, but Young Living chooses the 2 species with the most therapeutic benefits, not the cheapest to make and process. The oils are processed over low heat by steam distillation or cold pressing. This makes more natural properties available. Some of the essential oil brands process their products with a higher heat and as a result their essential oils do not have all the properties and may contain poisons. They cost less and are not as effective.

Balsam fir (Idaho) essential oil is anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant (prevents blood from clotting), and acts like cortisone. It is used for breathing problems and pain. For respiratory problems, rub on the chest. For pain problems, rub the fountain. I broadcast it in my kennel if I see or hear any signs of a cold or cough. You can combine 2-3 essential oils together and diffuse to get the desired results.

Eucalyptus Radiata can be used as an aromatic salt and helps open the lungs when there is an upper respiratory infection. Its medical properties are antibacterial, antiviral, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory. As an aromatic salt, the bottle is briefly placed under the nose. For respiratory problems, rub the chest. I use eucalyptus on my dog’s fabric collars and it works as an insect repellent. I spray eucalyptus on my base baseball cap while fishing and the bugs leave me alone.

Frankincense can cross the blood brain barrier and help increase oxygen to the brain. Frankincense is used for infections and tumors, dissolves lumps and bumps. Frankincense is antibacterial, antiviral, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory. It can be applied topically, diffused or simply inhaled. I have applied incense to my pets’ lumps and the size of the lump decreases rapidly.

Helichysum is ideal for bruising or bleeding. I use it for when the spray claws are removed or when the tail is cut off. Speeds up the healing process. This essential oil is not diluted but rubbed directly onto the bare belly, be sure to avoid the sexual organs. Apply 1 drop per 1 inch of bare belly to the center of the pet’s belly. Helichrysum’s medical properties are anticoagulant, anesthetic, antispasmodic, antiviral, liver detoxifier; chelates chemicals and toxins and also regenerates nerves. Choose Helichysum if you suspect rat poison. This will help control internal bleeding while traveling to your vet.

Lavender is the universal essential oil and can be used for almost anything. This essential oil is applied pure (undiluted). Lavender is excellent for healing burns, including sunburns. Lavender has great calming effects. Here’s a recipe that can be sprayed in the air: Add 2 drops to 1 oz. of steam distilled water in a spray bottle, shake before each use. Its medicinal properties are antiseptic, antifungal, antitumor, anticonvulsant, vasodilator, relaxing, anti-inflammatory, reduce fat / cholesterol in the blood and combat excess sebum on the skin. I use lavender to clean tear stains on my puppies while their teeth are coming in. Apply only once a day, put a drop on the finger and rub it through the nose and under the eyes (avoid the eyes). I like to wear it at night as lavender has calming properties.

Peppermint is wonderful for treating diarrhea and vomiting. Be sure to dilute with the base / carrier oil formula. The medical properties of peppermint are anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiparasitic (worms), antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, digestive / gallbladder stimulant, pain reliever, and help curb appetite. I use diluted peppermint and rub it on the gums or belly to stop the diarrhea.

Pine works for respiratory problems and works even better when mixed with eucalyptus. This is a great combination to diffuse during the winter months and it smells great. Or it can be rubbed on the chest between the front legs. The medical properties of pine are hormonal, antidiabetic, cortisone, antiseptic, and lymphatic stimulants.

Essential oil blends are a combination of several essential oils that have a broader spectrum of beneficial medical properties. Di-Gize helps relieve diarrhea and vomiting. It works better than mint. Apply the oil on the naked abdomen and rub it in a clockwise direction, as the colon moves. Egyptian gold supports the immune system and is used for open wounds (dog / cat fighting). It is applied on the chest and between the shoulder blades of the back. Joy helps the heart and the circuitry. Apply to the chest and side of the ribs. GLF should be used if your pet gets into something toxic like fertilizer or advid. Rub the liver. The liver is located just below the ribs on the right side. Melrose is ideal for chronic infections such as abscesses (wounds) that are difficult to heal. Panaway is for dog bites, bruises, cuts and scrapes. Puricure is used undiluted on insect bites. Purifies the air and kills the Parvo virus. Balances electrical energies. Use it on your pet’s bedding as a diffuser. Mix 1 drop with 1 oz of steam distilled water in a spray bottle. Shake before use and spray the room, bedding, and toys anything your pet touches to disinfect. I recommend this essential item to my clients if they plan to house their pets to keep their pet germs free. Thieves kills bacteria and can be used as a natural antibiotic. Thieves should be used to keep your pet’s teeth clean. This is a healthier option than putting your pet under the vet to have his teeth cleaned. Apply a drop to your finger and rub on your pet’s upper gums once a week or daily if you detect problems. The use of Thieves in cats is not recommended due to their sensitivity to the liver. Value is chiropractic in a bottle. It draws out the body by balancing the energy centers (chakras). Apply to the spine. This is a wonderful blend of essential oils for pets that lead active lifestyles like hunting or testing.

Where to Eat Paella in Valencia

admin

It’s no wonder that Valencia is the best place to go for paella. This is where the original recipe comes from and this great dish is the culinary symbol of the city. In Valencia there are many good restaurants, often located on the beach or near the “Ciudad Vella”. Most of them have put a lot of effort into decoration and the atmosphere is really cozy. It doesn’t matter what you do in Valencia: you must taste the paella at least once during your stay. Check out these 3 restaurants so you can eat the best paella in town.

La Ruia Restaurant

It’s probably the best place to eat if you’re looking for a genuine traditional Valencian restaurant. It offers a wide range of local options: more than 15 traditional types of paellas and rice dishes (it is difficult to find such an offer in any other restaurant in the city), fish and meat dishes from the area. The interior is typical Valencian with ceramics and meborabilia on the walls. La Riua is truly a legend: it is a beloved and respected place and that is why there are usually many guests. You can call and reserve a table or also order your paella while you arrive. Eating paella costs almost 15 euros, meat 7, fish and seafood 10.

Tapelia Restaurant

This restaurant is a real “rice restaurant” with a wide range of rice dishes (15 – 20 different types of paella). You can even taste the unique paella with deer. You can also order good creative meat dishes, excellent starters and salads. It is also possible to have paella to go. The price range varies between 15/20 euros for a paella, 5/7 for meat dishes, 12 for salads. The atmosphere is really cozy with stone walls, intimate lighting, artwork with a great jazz soundtrack, lots of small tables together, and a few people. There are two other “Tapelia restaurants” in town, one near the beach and the other near the City of Arts and Sciences.

Taverna Alkazar

La Taverna Alkazar is a historic restaurant located in the center of Valencia with more than 50 years of history. It is one of the most popular, even for Valencians. It’s probably not cheap, but the great level of quality combined with the idea of ​​simplicity makes it one of the best places to eat. It offers Spanish themes on the walls and a large dining terrace for the summer that is shared with two neighboring restaurants, perhaps a little cheaper (so why not visit Givera and the Palacio de Bellota?). You can enjoy fancy traditional fish, seafood and meats, as well as some varieties of paella. Fish / seafood dishes can cost around 15/20 euros, meat 10.
