Top places to see in Mediterranean Sea
If in the early 20th century Mykonos was a fairly poor, desolate island, today it’s one of the glitziest hang-outs in the Mediterranean. A white-washed paradise frequented by jet-setters and party-goers, Mykonos has nonetheless managed to retain much of its character and natural beauty.
One of the most popular Spanish islands attracts thousands of tourists. Known for the pristine beaches and active nightlife, Majorca attracts tourists from the 19th century. Through the decades famous artists like Fr?d?ric Chopin, Agatha Christie, George Sand and Joan Mir? have visited and worked here.
Why to go there? Great holiday destination, various activties, rich nature and culture.
When to go there? Mild Mediterranean climate attracts visitors all year round. Months from June to October are the warmest.
The most striking feature of Marseille’s Basilica of Notre Dame de La Garde is the 30-foot gold statue of the Virgin Mary (sitting on a 180-foot bell tower/belfry) protectively looking out over her city. Locals call her la bonne mere or “the good mother.” The Roman-Byzantine church’s mosaics were restored in 2008 after years of damage from candle smoke and the impact of bullets during the liberation of Marseille in 1944. Bullet holes from the battle are still visible on the northern facade of the basilica.
The Italian island of Sardinia is the Mediterranean idyll writ large – all impossibly blue seas and perfect sandy beaches. For couples looking to splash out a bit and do Sardinia in style, the most exclusive part of the island is the Costa Smeralda. Share beaches with the Jet Set Lot, and spy on millionaire super yachts cruising these chic waters. Excellent restaurants abound – well, this is Italy – and top of the bill for a intimate dinner is Da Giovannino with its beautiful harbour setting, surrounded by pink blossoms.
Where to stay in Costa Smeralda?
The Grand Hotel Smeralda Beach boasts its own private beach, a brace of restaurants and watersports to suit everyone from lazy sailing to fast-paced motor boats.
How to get there?
Fly to Olbia – the airport is only a 30-minute drive from the resorts of Costa Smeralda.

Een van de oudste en beroemdste kunstmusea ter wereld, de Uffizi is de thuisbasis van de grootste en meest indrukwekkende kunstcollectie van Itali?. De naam van het museum, Italiaans voor het woord “kantoren”, komt van het oorspronkelijke gebruik van het paleis als een kantoorgebouw, ontworpen door de grote Giorgio Vasari voor aristocraat Cosimo I de ‘Medici. Het werd vervolgens gebruikt om de grote collectie schilderijen en sculpturen van de Medici-familie tentoon te stellen en zodoende werd de Uffizi geboren. Hoogtepunten van de werken van het museum zijn onder andere de Madonna van de distelvink door Raphael (onlangs gerenoveerd), de geboorte van Venus en Primavera door Sandro Botticelli, Slag om San Romano door Paolo Uccello, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, Titian’s Venus van Urbino Bacchus door Caravaggio. Voor een werkelijk unieke ervaring boekt u een priv?tour door de Vasari Corridor, de met kunst gevulde geheime doorgang over de Ponte Vecchio die de Uffizi verbindt met het Palazzo Pitti.
Cannabis and the law
Benefits ? Its Helpful for Those with PTSD: With so many veterans in need of effective treatments for PTSD after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the discovery that cannabis is a viable option is fantastic news. Now, the trick is to get the VA and doctors to actually prescribe it.
And of course not all PTSD is combat-related. All sorts of traumatic experiences can put that fight-or-flight response into overdrive, and cannabis is the only medication to address that.
Cannabis seeds can also help greatly in dealing with anxiety and depression. This is very helpful since they help in relaxing the body as well as muscles. With these properties, the seeds can also be used to help control nervous, muscular spasms and mobility problems. The relaxation that the compounds in the seeds bring can go a long way in helping to reduce the frequency of epileptic fits.
Those who experience difficulties falling asleep can benefit from using Cannabis Seeds. The seeds help to reduce the anxiety we experience just before sleeping, allowing the user to enjoy deep and relaxing sleep.

CBD and Medical Cannabis Research
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many cannabinoid compounds that the cannabis plant produces. CBD exhibits numerous therapeutic properties, but what makes this compound so interesting to doctors and scientists is that it does not provide the psychoactive effect normally associated with cannabis, in simple terms CBD does not get you high.

Cannabis and the Law
Cannabis legislation is being relaxed all over the world but not in the UK, where the most unlikely of horticulturalists are taking the law into their own hands At Discount Cannabis Seeds we only sell Cannabis Seeds as souvenirs and we do not accept any liability for customers purchasing them for any other purposes.
Is Cannabis legal?
Cannabis, unfortunately does not follow a strict line of being legal or illegal across the globe, and in fact can vary considerably in each country depending on its use and form.
Whilst it is illegal to own or possess the drug in the vast majority of countries around the world, many countries have in fact decriminalised possession in small quantities, with the reasoning that it isn’t being used to sell or supply.
In the UK, it is actually LEGAL to own cannabis seeds, such as the ones available on the Discount Cannabis Seeds website, but it is 100% ILLEGAL to grow or attempt to grow the cannabis plant from these seeds unless you have a licence from the Home Office.
WE STRICTLY ADVISE THAT PURCHASED CANNABIS SEEDS ARE NOT USED TO GROW CANNABIS PLANTS AS THIS PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL WITHOUT A LICENCE.
Is is well known, certain countries permit the possession of cannabis in certain circumstances, such as the Netherlands and Uruguay. More recently, a number of states in the USA have enacted legalisation of the plant.
There are a great number of factors involved on the growing of Cannabis seeds including growing medium, light, temperature, equipment and indeed the skill and experience of the grower.
Legal Access to Cannabis in the UK
Access to cannabis within the UK is limited to the pharmaceutical cannabis based medicine Sativex.
Sativex is an oromucosal spray of a formulated extract of the Sativa cannabis plant that contains the principal cannabinoids THC and CBD as well as specific minor cannabinoids and other non-cannabinoid components.
This can only be prescribed to MS sufferers and is at your doctors discretion, so differing postcodes can effect access.
It should also be noted that although the NHS in Wales will subsidise Sativex, the NHS in England will not, so typical treatments can cost up to 500 a month.
All other cannabis use or production in the UK is Illegal.
Paintball Versus Airsoft
Airsoft is similar to paintball in many ways, in that they are both fast paced and action packed sports in which players engage each other firing small, spherical, and safe projectiles. However, unlike paintball, airsoft BBs are made of hard plastic (weighing much less than a typical paintball) and do not leave any marks upon impact. Airsoft guns are also much more realistic than paintball markers, giving airsoft gameplay an added sense of realism. Airsoft BB firing devices should not be confused with standard BB guns which fire metal projectiles, and are unsafe to fire at another person. Airsoft BB guns fire much lighter plastic projectiles with much less force than a standard BB gun, making airsoft much safer. Because airsoft BBs do not make a mark upon impact, airsoft players must follow a strict honor system. Airsoft games are usually longer than paintball games, due to more complex objectives and the use of respawn locations, where players who have been hit can walk to and re-enter game play.
Sometimes, the game seems very unbalance and looks just like your average game. You don’t experience the same exciting anticipation as you do in a real competitive sport
To put everything in short terms, airsoft is competitive but lacks a good system to put together an exciting, and professional competitive games.
Our suggestion to the community is to imitate the ranking system from league of legend and apply it to airsoft with minor tweaks. There will be “casual” and “official” competitive games.
You can only be registered for a casual competitive game. Every time your team wins, you gain points and will rank up once you earn enough.
The Magazine
Airsoft magazine uses widget and springs to feed BBs into your airsoft gun. Like cars, they have a lifespan. The more work they do, the faster they will die out
Make it your priority to drain out all BBs out of your magazine after every game. And lubricate your gas magazine once a while. These simple things will help preserve the life span of your magazine internals and will help your magazine feed BBs into your airsoft gun better
What about types of magazines? In reality, all magazine function the same way with slight variations. The main difference between them is the quality of material used to build them and their design. In the end, it’s all up to what brand are you buying from. More at TheAirsoftSport.
Never Remove Your Eye-Protection During Games
Do not take your eye-protection off in the field, even if it has fogged up. Just go to the safe zone, clear up the fog, and re-enter the game
Don’t risk your eye sight for something so minor.
Open-carry is also Prohibited
Exposing airsoft guns openly in public is also restricted
The law defines public places as streets, driveways, alleys, parks, plazas, bridges and buildings open to the general public
The exception to the rule is carrying guns which are entirely different and brightly colored
The Cry Baby
Sometimes, you will run into people who complain about getting shot. For these people, getting shots sucks and they spread their negativity around the field.
They will turn you off and ruin your mood. The best thing you could do is let the referee know about it and ignore them.
The Exposer
This player has one mission in mind, and that is to expose anyone that breaks the rule. Expect to get called out by them for not signaling your hits.
You can say that they’re like a referee but one without authority. Most airsoft fields don’t allow you to call out cheater but report them to the referee instead. The exposer can be extremely annoying and hostile at times.
When playing with exposers, don’t react to their “exposing” and expose them to the referee. Extra details on TheAirsoftSport.
Trekking Everest 2019
Top advices : Give Yaks and Sherpa’s the right of way at all times. When a yak train comes, move to the mountainside to get out of the way. You don’t want to be nudged off a cliff by a yak. Sherpa’s and porters work hard on Everest, they are constantly taking supplies up and down the mountain. Help make their life easier by staying out of their way.
Remember, you are on Holidays, Enjoy Yourself! The most important thing to remember is that you are on vacation, relax, have an open mind, and enjoy yourself! There is always a lot of spare time when on a trekking trip like Everest Base Camp. You generally walk anywhere from 4-6 hours a day, with the exception of a few longer days, and therefore have plenty of time when you arrive in the tea houses to relax, rest, and have a laugh with your fellow trekkers. It is important to have this time throughout your journey as they help to keep you positive and relaxed, instead of nervous and tense. You also have to keep in mind that you are entering a very different environment than you may be used to when going to Nepal. Things may not be done in the same manner as you may be used to at home, by no means does this imply that things are done wrong there, however they are just different. You must always keep an open mind and remember the fact that there will be cultural differences along the way and to respect those who are there to help us reach our goals!
180retreats is launching a trekking expedition on the Everest in April 2019, read more on Everest Retreats. On our first full day of retreat, well head to see the sights with one of our Nepalese guides. Well visit the worlds largest Hindu temple at Pashupatinath Temple where we have the opportunity to witness the ceremony of lifes passing and together we will honor life reverently. Well then head to the largest Buddhist shrine, Boudhanath where well explore and eat a delicious rooftop lunch with spectacular views. After ample time, well head to Swayambhunath also known as The Monkey Temple.
We recommend : Bring cash USD and Rupees. There are no ATMs in Lukla or Namche Bazaar. Exchange rates are also very dismal so bring rupees with you at least $200 worth.
Altitude Headaches A headache can be one of the first signs of altitude problems. Small headaches are common and should not stop you from trekking or worry you. However, it is worth mentioning to your guide and by all means if your headache gets progressively worse or you have other signs of altitude sickness its time to stop ascending or even head down. Altitude Sickness if allowed to progress is serious. If you need to arrange extra days on the mountain we can normally arrange that .
