How do we know Haven In is a legitimate company?
We are a U.S.-based company, in business since 2006. You can read reviews written by clients who have stayed with us before. We are also happy to speak with you over the phone!
I've only ever stayed in hotels while traveling, but think I want to try renting an apartment this time around. What are the main differences?
We at Haven In think that staying in a furnished apartment is the best way to travel! Renting your own vacation apartment in Paris is a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel. But it's true that renting a holiday flat isn't for everyone. If you think that it just isn’t a vacation without daily maid service, a concierge downstairs, and room service meals, then you might want to take a moment to think about whether a vacation apartment is for you. However, if you look forward to getting an insider’s view to the city, having a larger space and the comforts of home to return to at the end of the day, and the privacy afforded in your own apartment, then a holiday flat can be the ideal home base for your vacation. If you like the idea of renting an apartment, but would still like luxury concierge services during your stay in Paris, you can contact Haven In and we will direct you to a personal concierge for à la carte services. They will be able to help you with restaurant recommendations & reservations, day trips, Paris sightseeing and walking tours, shopping, market tours, and more. We can also put you directly in contact with certain luxury service providers who we have tested and who have the Haven In seal of approval.
What do your apartments have to offer that we might miss out on by staying in a hotel?
We like to think of our Paris apartments as your home away from home. To this end, we ensure that all of our apartments are outfitted with fully equipped kitchens, allowing you to cook your own meals from fresh food bought at Paris' amazing markets, boulangeries, fromageries, boucheries, and more. We provide unlimited high speed wireless internet and unlimited phone service** to many foreign countries, so you can keep in touch with friends and family at home. In most apartments, there is also a computer for your use during your Parisian vacation. We will even provide a crib, in most apartments, free of charge for your baby! For larger groups, our holiday flats allow you to share a space, rather than having to pay for and split up into separate hotel rooms. For couples, they provide privacy, intimacy, and the ideal setting for a romantic vacation in Paris. ** Please inquire if there is a specific country that you need to call - we can let you know whether it is included in a given apartment. Most of the free countries are outlined in the individual apartment descriptions.
How is Haven In unique?
We at Haven In pride ourselves on our top-notch customer service. Our aim is to provide the best vacation possible to you, our guests in Paris. All of us at Haven In have lived in Paris and speak fluent French as well as English, so we are well prepared to answer any questions you have before, during, and after your stay.
Who are the Haven In people?
Haven In was started by Erica, a native of Massachusetts. Erica divides her time between Maine, Massachusetts, Italy and Paris! As the business grew, she took on Elise, Meghan, and Natasha, all of whom work in the U.S. with sporadic visits to Paris to check up on things! When you rent a vacation apartment from Haven In, you may end up corresponding with any one or even all of us. You can also now see photos and bios of the Haven In team.
You can find our full terms and conditions here: https://havenin.com/rental-terms These are the terms you will agree to on our rental contract.
We have a weekly rental rate that is posted on the apartment pages, but in many cases, we are able to come down from that weekly rate for shorter stays. Feel free to reach out to us about any shorter stays you might be interested in and we would be happy to confirm pricing.
For any stays longer than a week, we do pro-rate for additional days; i.e., if you want to rent an apartment for 10 days, we won’t charge you for 2 full weeks. Please inquire about longer term rental discounts.
You say sometimes you can rent for less than a week. Do you have a nightly rate for those cases?
When we are able to rent for less than a week, we calculate the pro-rated price for your dates based on our normal weekly rate. However, for these shorter rentals, we also have to add a supplement onto the pro-rated price to help cover the extra greeting, cleaning, and laundry costs we incur on a shorter rental.
In Paris and London, your rental can start and end on any day of the week – it's up to you! In Provence and Tuscany, rentals normally go from Saturday to Saturday. Please note: We may not be able to accommodate arrivals and departures on December 25 and January 1, but we are happy to confirm this on a case-by-case basis. Arrivals and departures on December 24, 25, 31, and January 1 may incur a special fee.
We require a 50% deposit to reserve the apartment, and the remaining 50% two months before your arrival date. Our system will remind you automatically a few days before your balance payment is due. If you reserve within two months of your arrival, then we ask that you make the full payment at that time. Unfortunately, we can not accept money orders or bank drafts, as they are extremely difficult to recover or reissue if lost.
How far in advance do I have to reserve my apartment?
It depends. Sometimes, an apartment is rented 6 months ahead of time – or even over a year! In other cases, we have last minute availability. It is hard to gauge, which is why we recommend planning as far ahead as possible. This way, you are likely to be able to rent the apartment you prefer for the dates you want. Dates around Christmas, New Years, Easter, and Fashion Week tend to be booked well ahead of time.
Will you hold an apartment for my dates while I confirm other details?
Haven In has a first come, first serve reservations policy. This means that, until you tell us you want to book and ask us to send our rental agreement, we can't hold your dates. Once we have sent you the rental agreement, we will hold the apartment for 48 hours to give you time complete it and arrange for payment. If we haven't heard from you after 48 hours, we reserve the right to remove the hold we had placed. We will however notify you before doing so. Because of this policy, we at Haven In will do our very best to keep all parties up to date if there is overlapping interest for an apartment.
The prices on our site are all inclusive – you do not have to pay extra for any utilities. This is vacation!
Please note: Rental prices are all inclusive and, when applicable, the Taxe de Séjour has been added into final prices (€0.83 per adult per night).
* Unlimited free high speed WiFi (wireless Internet) in all our properties. Most rentals also include telephone service.
1. We charge $75 to $200 per week (depending on the apartment) for each additional person over the standard occupancy rate, which varies by property. This is clearly stated on the web site. This fee is meant to cover the extra cleaning and laundry costs.
2. We also add on a portion of the extra greeting, cleaning, and laundry costs whenever we accept a rental of less than a week. These fees vary per apartment.
3. We are normally unable to accommodate arrivals or departures on Christmas Day (December 25) or New Year's Day. (January 1). All arrivals and departures on Christmas Eve (December 24) and New Year's Eve (December 31) should occur within the hours of 9am-5pm; all arrivals or departures after 5pm or before 9am on these days will incur a fee of 100 Euros/80 Pounds to be paid in cash to the greeter.
Do you ever run discounted rates?
We often run special prices when we have last minute availability in an apartment. While it varies by property, we also try to run introductory rates when we have just taken on a new property. If you are a returning client, we are happy, when possible, to give you a small discount as a thank you for returning to Haven in!
We have a strict no cancellation policy. In the event that you do need to cancel, all sums paid to Haven in as of the date of your cancellation will be forfeited UNLESS we are able to re-rent the property for your dates. If we are able to re-rent the flat, we refund the amount paid, less a 20% administrative fee.
Cancellation insurance is your personal responsibility, and we strongly recommend that you take out insurance for your trip. We cannot be held responsible for a cancellation for any reason, whatever it may be. It’s hard to believe it will happen to you, but sometimes life has a way of changing our plans for us. Please protect yourself! If you would like to take out insurance for your trip, typically done after travel and accommodations are booked, we recommend that you take a look at the options available on sites like ADAR, Insure My Trip, or Travelers Med. Some other insurance companies that you can investigate are: CSA, Travelex, and AIG Travel Guard. Haven In is in no way affiliated with any of these companies and these are merely suggestions. We suggest you shop around and compare until you find a product that best suits your needs.
So if I decide I want to reserve an apartment with Haven in, what do I need to do?
Reserving a holiday rental with Haven in is simple! If you decide you want to rent an apartment with us and your dates are available, we will confirm the price, the dates of your stay, and the number in your party. We will then send you an email with a link to our rental agreement, which you can fill out online. Once you have submitted this agreement, our system generates a PDF of the rental contract that is emailed to both you, the client, and us, Haven in. Finally, you are taken to our payment page, where you can choose to pay by credit card through our secure server, or by check or wire transfer to Haven in in Maine.
Is there a security deposit? How much is it and how do I pay it?
We do require a security deposit for all of our properties. You can elect to fill out a credit card authorization form, which authorizes us to charge your card for specific damages caused by you during your stay in Paris. These damages will be documented with bills and your card will never be randomly charged. If there are no damages, we destroy your credit card information without charging your card. If there is any damage, we notify you before running any charges on your credit card*. If you would rather not fill out the credit card authorization, you can send a check to Haven in. We cash the check and, after your departure, refund either the entire amount by check, or deduct accordingly for damages and refund the balance. The amount for the security deposit varies by property – please ask about your specific rental.
*In some of our properties the credit card and check process are the same: your card would be charged and then refunded after departure. Details about this can be found in the description of the apartment on its individual page on our site.
How early can we check in and how late can we check out? What should we do with our luggage in the meantime?
Our official check-in is at 4 pm, and check-out is at 10 am. This gives our cleaners time to fully prepare the apartment between the departure of one party and the arrival of the next. However, we do understand that you may come in on an early flight, or want to leave the apartment a little later, and we do everything possible to accommodate all parties as best we can.
If you would like to guarantee that an early check-in /late check-out will be possible, you must book an additional night at the beginning/end of your stay. This is the only way to ensure that there is no same-day turnover between guests, thus allowing the cleaners and greeters to have enough time to fully prepare the property.
Your greeter will be able to confirm an exact check-in time with you when they contact you to coordinate your meeting you at the property, approximately two weeks before your arrival. As they manage the arrivals and departures, as well as the cleaner's schedule, they will be in the best position to advise you on what time you may be able to drop off luggage, and when you will be able to check in.
If you will be arriving on an early flight, you should be able to drop your luggage off in the property starting at approximately 10am, after the previous guests have left. You will be able to return to settle in as soon as the apartment has been cleaned for you. Please be aware that the cleaning crew can not do their work effectively when there are people in the property, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping the process run smoothly. Your greeter or the cleaner will let you know when you will be able to return to the property to settle in.
You may also be able to leave your luggage in the property a little bit past your check-out time on your departure day, depending on the cleaning schedule, and on the incoming guests' itinerary.
* Please note: We may not be able to accommodate arrivals and departures on December 25 and January 1, but we are happy to confirm this on a case-by-case basis. Arrivals and departures on December 24, 25, 31, and January 1 may incur a special fee.
I've paid for my apartment and finished the reservation process. Now what?
We will send you a link to a page where you can download all the practical details about your apartment including address, arrival and entry instructions, door code, contact person, and other important information. Please take a moment to print this out and don’t forget to bring it with you! A Haven in representative will meet you at the property. PLEASE make sure that we have your arrival information as far in advance as possible. If we do not know when and how you are arriving, we cannot ensure that you will be met at the proper time. If you do not yet have the details when you complete your rental agreement, please think to email us as soon as your arrival plans are finalized. We need to be able to schedule as far as possible in advance to ensure that you are met at your desired time. If you are delayed, give us a call to let us know. Please be aware that someone will be physically waiting for you in the apartment and be as considerate of his or her time as you hope one would be of yours.
Are your apartments located in safe neighborhoods?
All of our apartments are located in central Paris and are very secure. Paris is a safe city, and we are confident that you will feel at ease in your neighborhood. We do!
How good is the public transportation in Paris? Will I be near a metro station?
The Paris metro and bus system (RATP) is amazingly efficient. Our apartments are all within a 5 minute walk of the closest metro station. Metro service begins around 5 am and continues until 1 am on week nights, and about an hour later on Friday and Saturday nights. You can also take the bus with the same tickets you use for the metro – not only is it a good way to get around, but you also get an above-ground view of your route. For tickets, you've got a few options. If you plan on using public transportation some but not a lot, a carnet (10 tickets) offers a price break off of the single ticket price, and is easy to get at a ticket window or vending machine. If you plan to use the metro a bit more, they have come out with an option called "Paris Visite," which is a travel pass you can purchase for 1, 2, 3, or 5 days. There is much more information online (and in several languages) at RATP - you can click the little British flag on the top right-hand corner for English.
Do your apartments all have elevators and air conditioning?
While many of our apartments are located in elevator buildings and some are air conditioned, it is not the case in all of them. As so many buildings in Paris are old, they have not always been retro-fitted with elevators and air conditioning. This information is displayed on each apartment page. Otherwise, please inquire about your specific apartment and we will let you know. We do provide fans in apartments that do not have air conditioning, and generally, Paris does not get too hot in the summer. When it does, the old stone of the buildings helps to keep the indoors cool and comfortable. * Please be aware that when apartments do have air-conditioning this will cool the flat down, but is often not the sub-zero temperature you will find in many US buildings.
I'm choosing an apartment as an alternative to a hotel because I want to be able to cook with the wonderful ingredients you can find in Paris' markets and food shops. How well equipped are your kitchens?
Our kitchens are all fully equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, dishes & cutlery, pots & pans, and a coffee maker. Most of our apartments also have a dishwasher and microwave. And, of course, a dining table where you can enjoy it all.
How conveniently located are the apartments to shops and restaurants?
We have chosen to represent apartments in neighborhoods that we personally feel are interesting. They are all within walking distance of a number of good eating options, and one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques are scattered throughout the different neighborhoods of Paris.
Nothing of the sort! We provide more than enough clean sheets and towels – no need to lug them along. Your bed will be freshly made for your arrival.
Do you provide any toiletries, shampoo or soap?
We provide hand soap, dish-washing soap, dish-washing detergent when there is a dishwasher and laundry soap. Because everyone has their favorite brands, we leave it up to our guests to bring their favorite shower soap, shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately, we don't provide q-tips or cotton balls, so remember to pack those as well!
Hair dryers*, telephone, computer, crib (but no linens), high chair (available in some apartments upon request). Most of our apartments also include a small library of various books and guidebooks which you are welcome to read and enjoy during your stay. *Note: If you are coming from North America where the voltage is different, your hair dryer won't work in Europe, even with a voltage adapter. For this reason, we provide them in each apartment.
Do you provide electronic converters in your apartments?
We try to have a couple of extra converters in each of our apartments. However, we can not guarantee this as sometimes people accidentally take them home with them. You can buy basic converters at many electronics or hardware stores or at the airport; they are not very expensive. However, you can not use a foreign hair dryer in France (even with a converter), and so we provide them in each apartment for that reason. Unfortunatley, flat-irons and curling-irons will also not work in France, so if you will need to use one, we suggest buying one when you arrive at the local Monoprix. If you plan on bringing a computer or cell phone, it should be able to plug in fine with a basic socket converter.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to leave dear Fido at home. Even if you have the most well-behaved, cleanest dog or a cat that never sheds, we unfortunately can’t accommodate them. This is out of consideration both to the owners, who don’t want to deal with the potential messes pets can make, and to other guests – while we know you love your pet, the next people to stay in the flat might be horribly allergic.
Are all of your apartments non-smoking?
Our apartments are all strictly non-smoking. However, it's fine to smoke outside on the balcony if you have one, or downstairs in the courtyard.
Are all of your flats child-friendly?
With the exception of a few apartments, children are welcome in all of our Paris, London, Provence, and Tuscan homes. If there is an age limitation for a property, it will be noted on the property page. Feel free to ask us as well. Please note that several of the apartments do contain delicate artwork and fragile materials, so do make sure children are very careful.
At this time, most of our apartments do not have safes.
Can I rent strollers or car seats for my children in Paris?
Yes! There are two wonderful websites, Kidelio and Babytems, where you can rent gear for your children. They have convenient pick-up points throughout Paris. We suggest you visit the sites to see all they have to offer.
Is there an easy way to book a taxi or driver in Paris?
There are several taxi services in Paris that offer call-ahead bookings. Normally, they charge a small fee for this, about 5 Euros. We offer some suggestions for reputable taxi companies in Paris. We also know of a few private drivers in Paris. You can read about each one, view their rates, and contact them directly through our site.
Is there an easy way to book a taxi or driver in London?
There are several taxi services in London that offer call-ahead bookings. Here are some suggestions of reputable taxi companies in London.
What do Paris' different neighborhoods have to offer?
What's the best way to get to the apartment from the airport or train station?
From any of Paris' airports, we recommend reserving a car service to take you to the apartment. There is often a long wait for taxis at the airport, and some drivers may charge extra for luggage. We've partnered with several trusted drivers whom we recommend and you can book directly through our site. From the train stations we recommend taking a taxi to the apartment.
When I arrive, will someone be there to meet me? How do I get the keys so I can get into the apartment?
There will be a greeter waiting for you at the apartment upon your arrival in Paris. He or she will let you in, give you keys, and show you what you need to know so that you can best enjoy your vacation apartment. You will also be checked out at the end of your stay.
What if (gulp) I lose a key?
Please guard your keys very carefully!! A lost key may cost anywhere from 500€ to 3000€ as we must change all locks if a key is lost to ensure your safety and the safety of future renters. Please do NOT carry the key and the address in the same pocket.
Also remember to never leave the key in the lock inside the apartment; if someone tries to open the lock from the outside while a key is in the lock on the inside, both keys will break off inside the lock and the entire lock will need to be replaced.
Lock and key replacements can be very expensive in Paris, and you will be held liable for all costs associated with the replacement of the lock and keys, including any expenses associated with coordinating the locksmith, even if this cost exceeds the security deposit amount for the property.
So the greeter will let us in and show us around the flat. What else can they help us with?
Your greeter is your contact and support in Paris. If you have any questions or issues during your stay, feel free to call or email your greeter. Generally, they are also happy to give a few restaurant recommendations or even make a reservation or two if you are shy about calling. For more services please inquire about a personal concierge. Here are some of our restaurant recommendations and where you can book a personal concierge directly through our site.
What if it turns out there is construction going on in the apartment or building I've rented?
At Haven in it is our promise that, if we learn of any work going on in the building where you will be staying, we will let you know as soon as we find out. Unfortunately, there are times when we have no advance notice about work going on in a building. Since we rent out single units in residential buildings, and, unlike hotels, do not own entire buildings, we do not have control over what other owners may decide to do. As you can imagine, this is very frustrating for us, and we do our best to stay as informed as possible. If it does happen that there is work going on in the building where you are staying, please let us know immediately so that we can work with you to find the best solution possible for your particular situation. We are committed to making our guests' stays as comfortable, relaxing, and easy as possible.
What do I need to pack – does it get very cold or hot in Paris?
Paris is fairly temperate – warm but not often extremely hot in the summer, chilly but rarely bitter cold in the winter. It does get a lot of drizzle – but we provide umbrellas in our apartments for that reason. Other good things to know are that Parisians very rarely wear shorts, white tube socks or sneakers, so if you are traveling in the summer and don't want to stand out as a tourist, keep this in mind.
Do you have some sort of luxury concierge service if we want more than what the greeter generally provides?
While Haven in does not provide concierge-type services, if you think you will be needing assistance during your stay, we would be happy to point you towards some trustworthy contacts and experience providers to help make your Paris experience as carefree and enjoyable as possible.
Can anyone recommend restaurants for us to try?
We have a long list of restaurant recommendations on our website. Your greeter can also recommend places in your neighborhood, or for more personalized service, you can get in touch with our luxury concierge.
What sort of luxury à la carte services can the concierge provide?
You can review all of our trusted experience providers on our site.
Where can I get information on museums, exhibitions, and tickets?
The Paris Museum Pass is a great way to gain access to most of Paris' museums (including the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, & Centre Pompidou) and many sites. In many cases, this pass will allow you to bypass lines. If you plan well enough ahead of time, there is option to purchase the pass online and have it delivered to your home. The Museum Pass can also be purchased at all participating museums & monuments, as well as at a few other locations in Paris. You can also purchase the pass at a few terminals in the Charles de Gaulle airport.
What else can Haven In help me with?
We are not a travel agency! While we are delighted to help you find the right apartment for your stay & see you through the booking process, we are unfortunately not able to assist with specifics such as day trips, tickets, reservations, and the like. As much as we would love to help out, this really is not our field of expertise. To remain efficient and give all of our guests the best service possible, we have decided to keep to the rental side of the business. For good resources, we would suggest searching the Internet, or for a more directed search, you can start by looking at a travel forum such as TripAdvisor, Slow Travel, or Slow Europe. On the Haven in website we have collected many useful links for the benefit of our clients for guides, trips, classes and more. There are also links to useful blogs with tons of information, which should help guide you in the right direction. Finally, there is our fabulous HiP Paris blog. And again, we are happy to put you in touch our recommended experience providers. If in your research you come across any sites you feel would be helpful for future clients, please do not hesitate to send them along and we will add them to our site. We are always on the lookout for new & helpful information about things to do!
What kind of fun and enriching activities are available for my family in Paris?
In general, you wouldn't need a car to get around Paris. However, If you would like to rent a car to take day trips outside Paris then we recommend booking one from Auto Europe. Auto Europe works with the top car rental agencies in Paris. They offer competitive rates and excellent customer service. They are open 24/7 and they have a free number to call the US from France. The headquarters are located in Portland, Maine.
How can I gain free entry, without queuing, to over 60 museums and monuments in and around Paris?
What should we know about tipping in Paris?
* If you order a drink, leaving a little extra change on the table (15-20c) is perfectly acceptable. * After a simple, but pleasant, meal, a couple of €1 coins are greatly appreciated. At a nice restaurant, it is customary to leave about 5% of the final bill.
* For taxis, depending on the length and cost of your trip, it is standard to tip 10%.
* If you go to the theater, it is standard to tip €1 to the person showing you to your seat.
* For hairdressers, a 10% tip is appropriate.
* 20-30c for a washroom attendant is fine (although a sum is often indicated).
* You will usually want to tip tour guides €1-€3 (if it is a group/museum tour) or 5% (for a private tour).
* A weekly cleaning is included in your rental price. If you are extremely pleased with the cleanliness of the flat, a tip of 5-20€ (depending on the size of the apartment)is always appreciated but never necessary.
* Tipping your greeter: If you would like to recognize your greeter’s service, it is entirely up to you. Your greeter is required to make sure that you are settled comfortably into your apartment and that you know how everything works. If you feel that he or she has gone above and beyond and has been incredibly responsive, they would surely appreciate a recognition of their efforts and this amount we will leave to your discretion. Please note: If you ask them to make numerous reservations, purchases for your arrival and any other services that go above and beyond, it is appropriate to either tip them or pay them for their time depending on the service rendered. Most of our greeters have standard fees they attach to concierge-type services, but a reasonable tip for an unpaid service would be €5 to €20, depending on the amount of time and energy they devoted to the task. We hope that these guidelines are helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to email us directly if you have any questions.
How does public transportation work in Paris?
Although any foreign public transportation system is intimidating at first, the Paris system is a simple, efficient, and reliable way to get around. Here is a short introduction to the Paris system. Metro * There are 14 metro lines. Each line has a set number and color (ex: Line 1 is yellow). The final stops of each line are also listed so that you can figure out which direction you need to be going. * Metros do not run all night! The first and last metros are displayed in each station. In general, the last metro Monday to Thursday and on Sunday is around 12:15am. On Fridays and Saturdays, they run until about 1:45 am. The first metro is generally around 5:30am. * Metro stops in Paris are closely spaced - you should never be more than about a 5-minute walk from a station. Trains come at regular intervals (every 3-5 minutes during the day, 4-8 minutes at night) so it is rare to be left standing on a platform for long. In most stations, they also display how many minutes it will be until the next train arrives. Tickets * You can buy tickets at the automatic vending machines (which accept cards,** bills, and coins) or at the agent-operated booths. As of Summer 2009, the price for a single ticket is €1.70. A booklet of 10 tickets (a “carnet”) is €13.70. Each ticket is valid for one ride. With one ticket, you can transfer between lines within the metro, but unfortunately not between a bus and the metro. **Note: Some machines don’t accept all American cards. If you are having trouble, you can go to the ticket window and the agent will be able to take your card. * You can also purchase a daily “Paris Visite” pass, which affords you unlimited rides on the Metro, Bus, Tram and RER services. The tickets can be purchased by the day for up to 5 consecutive days. Visit RATP for more detailed information & current pricing. Buses * The bus system is also fairly straightforward, although a little bit more confusing than the metro as stops are not always announced by the conductor. Each bus line is identified by a number (ex: 95), and bus stops also often feature screens with the waiting time for the next bus and maps of all the stops. It can be a great, economical way to see the city from above ground! * There is a nighttime bus system called “Noctilien.” If you think you will be taking night buses, you may want to pick up map of Noctilien bus stops at your local metro station. You can also find all these maps online at the RATP website.
How easy is it to catch taxis in Paris?
Generally speaking, taxis are easy to find and are an easy way to get around Paris, provided you don't get stuck in a "bouchon" (traffic jam). A few points to note... * You may not always be able to hail a cab in the street. There are laws forbidding taxis to pick up passengers within 200m of a designated taxi stand, so if you are unable to get a taxi’s attention standing in the street, your best bet will be to find a stand and get one there. * The minimum fare for any ride is €5, even if you are only going two blocks. * A 10% tip is standard and appropriate. Taxis can be hard to come by between 2am and 5am on weekends, once the metro has stopped running. If you find yourself stranded, there are some private taxi companies that you can call to pick you up at a designated address. Please note, however, that if you call a taxi to come pick you up, the driver will start the meter once he starts his journey to come to where you are, so it is not unusual to find €5-10 already on the meter when you get in the cab. Taxis Bleus (08 91 70 10 10, 23c/min) and Taxis G7 (01 47 39 47 39) are reliable agencies used by most Parisians.
Is there any way to get around on bicycle?
Another wonderful way to get around the city is on Paris’ “Vélib’” system. These bikes are available for public use and are sponsored by the city of Paris. You will likely see Parisians of all ages riding around on them, and they are a practical, economical and green way to get around the city. Vélib’ stands can be identified by their rows of identical gray bicycles attached to small posts with green or red lights (a red light indicating the bicycle needs repair). If you have a credit card with a magnetic chip on the front (instead of just the standard magnetic strip), you can use it to rent a bicycle from the automated machine located at the Vélib station. Unfortunately these machines do not accept American-style cards without magnetic chips**. You can return your rented bike to any other Vélib’ stand throughout the city. If you return it within a ½ hr, you are not charged for the rental. The first additional ½ hour is €1 and the second additional ½ hr €2. Beyond that, it is €4 for every additional ½ hr. You must have the equivalent of €150 in your bank account for your card to be approved for the rental of a Vélib’. **Please note: While most American cards won’t work, some people have been able to use the Vélibs with their American Express charge cards.

The Lucky Rat was born in the 1960’s, surrounded by and often squashed by thousands of other rat brothers and sisters. He wanted to experience the world outside of his laboratory cage and one day he got his wish. Sadly, the rest of this article will explain why his luck was short lived. Only his name lives on, as a relatively unique username that I find rather more memorable than chris87614 – after reading the story of the lucky rat you may find it memorable too, if slightly disturbing.
The Lucky Rat is a fortunate rat who was introduced to me at sixth form in a biology lesson by my teacher Mr Deakins. My friend Lucy Stone and I wrote our interpretation of the story of the Lucky Rat and I’ve copied it verbatim in the main article. Since the Lucky Rat was so great, I decided to adopt his name as my nick name when chatting online. Not all the rats depicted herin survived but none were harmed during the telling of this story.
There once was a rat, a very lucky rat and a very lucky rat he was. After going through months of selection processes he became the chosen one. He was chosen to be the main attraction in a lethal experiment.
The slightly deranged scientist (named Professor Deakins) concocted a deadly brew of a radioactive isotope. Once injected and left to absorb the potion, the lucky rat was brutally murdered by none other than the friendly, caring, lovable and slightly intoxicated (due to using whiskey instead of water in his coffee) Prof. Deakins. It was now time for the next stage of the experiment where the lucky rat had its liver painfully extracted. The glowing radioactive liver was treated with a cold isotonic buffer solution and minced (rather like a cow does before it gets put into a lasagne).
The lucky rat mince was ultra centrifuged at enormous gravitational forces to separate the lucky ribosomes from the lucky nucleus and the lucky mitochondria. The experiment was completed. The lucky rat was destroyed and Prof. Deakins’ life work was complete. To celebrate he drank some more alcohol and decided to take up teaching.

text: In this article, the author describes a new theoretical perspective on positive emotions and situates this new perspective within the emerging field of positive psychology. The broaden-and-build theory posits that experiences of positive emotions broaden people’s momentary thought-action repertoires, which in turn serves to build their enduring personal resources, ranging from physical and intellectual resources to social and psychological resources. Preliminary empirical evidence supporting the broaden-and-build theory is reviewed, and open empirical questions that remain to be tested are identified. The theory and findings suggest that the capacity to experience positive emotions may be a fundamental human strength central to the study of human flourishing.

Engineered nanoparticles are used in a variety of consumer products like cosmetics, wall paints and even food products and tooth paste. The widespread use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) will lead to an emission of these contaminants to the aquatic environment, e.g. via urban and industrial waste waters. While the number of nanoparticle related applications is steadily increasing, the potential effects of ENPs on human health and the environment are still poorly understood.
With a particle size below 100 nm, nanoparticles are in the same order of magnitude as biochemical macromolecules and therefore able to enter animal or plant cells and interact in biological processes. For this reason, there is a strong need of understanding nanoparticles behavior in the environment and effects to organisms and ecosystems.
This study analyses the potential environmental risks of Titanium Dioxide ENPs by using Caenorhabditis elegans as an ecotoxicological model. C.elegans is a soil living nematode that is used for ecotoxicological testing of sediment, water and soil samples. The focus of this study is the impact of light exposure on the ecotoxicity of the particles as well as the particles effects on co-contaminants.
This study contributed to the “Sponsorship Programme for Testing of Manufactured Nanomaterials” of the OECD.

An amateur photographer plans to splash out £2,500 on new camera gear after winning the Wish You Were Here photography competition, but he says his wife has other ideas.
Derek Bates beat more than 2,700 entries to claim the cash prize and a trip to the Old Pulteney scotch whisky distillery in Wick, Scotland.
Derek took the winning image at the North Gare conservation area on Teeside, using a Nikon D70 digital SLR.
?I found the area an ideal haven for photography and the changing light helped me to create a great photo opportunity,? he said.
Derek added: ?My wife would love to buy a new three-piece suite with the prize money but if I have my way it will definitely be going towards a brand new camera!?
The annual competition, now in its sixth year, searches for the best nautical image by an amateur and aims to revive the British tradition of the ‘seaside postcard’.
This year?s subjects ranged from surfers to seagulls.
Congratulating Derek, Margaret Mary Clarke, senior brand manager at Old Pulteney, said: ?It is a beautiful photograph and captures everything we were looking for in a winning image: a stunning landscape of the British seaside, great composition and fantastic use of light reflecting off the clear blue sea.?
The competition was organised by Old Pulteney, in association with Amateur Photographer, Visit Britain and the Sunday Express.

You should make sure that you are going to know the culture of the country you are going to visit. This is the only way that you can be sure that you are not doing anything that isn’t allowed in the country.
You don’t want to disrespect a country and their customs. And, therefore you need to know what is different about the country. Then, you will know exactly what to expect from your visit to a foreign country with a different culture.
The last thing that you want to do, is to be stranded in a foreign country because your documents were stolen. Yes, this does happen, and you need to make sure that you are going to have a backup. This is why you should make sure that you have copies of all the most important documents like your passport, visa, and ID.
You should also store it in a different place where you are storing the original documents. If the documents are stolen, you have something to get you back home again. The more copies you make, the safer you are going to be.
Don’t just have your contact details of friends and family on your phone. If the phone is getting stolen, you can’t phone anyone and tell them that you are still okay. You should make a list of the most important people in your contact list on your phone. You should store this in your suitcase.
Then, when your phone is stolen, you will still have all the necessary numbers of friends and family with you. This is one of the biggest mistakes that people can make. By not making backups of telephone numbers before they are visiting another country.

This book reveals a new concept that all great leaders have utilized but few if any have recognized: By presenting followers with a goal that offers a better future, thereby eliminating fears or major concerns, the leader creates an environment where teamwork naturally thrives, making extremely difficult objectives obtainable. This motivates followers, eliminating the need to utilize critical resources for motivation, and creating an efficiency that no supervision could ever achieve. Once followers start working as a team for the good of the organization, improvements naturally follow, especially in quality. Until now, definitions for quality have been vague and unhelpful at guiding organizations on where to improve. The new definition for quality introduced in this book will assist leaders in any organization to clarify exactly what quality is for that organization, making it possible for each worker to improve their products and services with each action taken. The benefits gained will improve employee and customer satisfaction to previously unheard-of levels. A clarification of how feelings impact overall results will change how future employees and organizations behave, creating an environment that is highly sustainable. Chris Whipple, president of Advanced Corporate Teams, provides training to develop Advanced Corporate Executives (A.C.E.). With over 20 years of management experience and a desire to share best practices, he set out to document a clear process for implementing goals. His research uncovered several missing details that the quality gurus never discovered. This book fills in the gap.

Research papers on American literature are often assigned to students by teachers of English. In such papers students are usually asked to analyze or compare works of various authors. This is an interesting work that allows students not only to learn the history of their country from pieces of literature, but also to develop their writing and analytical skills. Choosing a topic for a literature paper is easy if you have favorite writers or favorite works. Unfortunately, not all students are fond of literature nowadays, so they cannot pick a good topic right away.
In this article you may look at the list of decent topics for a paper on American literature.
Jonathan Edwards and his Puritan sermons.
The first American poet Anne Bradstreet and her inspiration.
Can we say that John Woolman was a Quaker by reading his works?
Thomas Paine and his pamphlet Common Sense in relation to the American Revolution.
Phillis Wheatley as a precursor of abolitionism in American literature.
Abigail Adams and her early feminist views in her writings.
Contribution of Meriwether Lewis to the knowledge of geography, geology, and botany in his journals.
What real events and people did Washington Irving use as a background to write Rip Van Winkle?
James Fenimore Cooper and his portrayal of Native Americans in The Last of the Mohicans.
Transcendental elements in the poem Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant.
Blending of humor and pathos in The Last Leaf by Oliver Wendell Holmes.
A comparison of English sonnets of 19th century and sonnets by James Russell Lowell.
New Hampshire by John Greenleaf displays his Quaker abolitionist beliefs.
Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe is predominated by symbols of death.
Frederick Douglass as one of the leaders of the abolitionist movement.
Can we say that Carl Sandburg was a radical socialist through some of his works?
Amy Lowell inspired many other female poets of her time with her poetry.
You may use these topics to write a good research paper on American literature and get a high score for your work. Remember not to copy anything from sample papers and works of other students.

The AAAB System is a bridge and ferry system designed for Turkish Armed Forces' fast and safe transport through the rivers in the battlefield. The vehicle is designed and manufactured by the Turkish Company FNSS. As nationally designed and developed amphibious bridge system in Turkey, the AAAB system has some additional specifications among its kind. It can carry 4 ramps on a single system. AAAB system has also standard anchoring system (both emergency and land anchoring systems), ballistic protection, and easy fault detection with CAN system. Four training sets of Amphibious Assault Bridge, delivered to Turkish Land Forces Command in September 2011, were subjected to challenging durability tests for land and sea tasks during 10 months and succeeded such tests. Being under mass production phase, 52 AAAB vehicles are planned to be delivered to the Turkish Land Forces Command.
The FNSS AAAB Armoured Amphibious Assault Bridge is operated by a crew of three. A crew cabin is available at the front of the vehicle. The hull and crew cabin are made of welded aluminum. The crew cabin provides a protection against firing of small arms and artillery shell splinters. When travelling the side elements of the bridge are on top of the vehicle and are swung through 180 degrees to either side when deployed with the other elements being fitted using the on board crane.
When travelling the side elements of the bridge are on top of the vehicle and are swung through 180 degrees to either side when deployed with the other elements being fitted using the on board crane.
On road, the FNSS AAAB uses an 8x8 chassis based on the PARS 8x8 armoured vehicle personnel carrier. The vehicle is motorized with a German Deutz turbocharged diesel engine, developing 522 hp, coupled to a fully automatic transmission with six forward and one reverse gears and a two speed transfer case. On road, the AAAB can reach a maximum speed of 50 km/h with a maximum road range of 600 km. With its diesel engine, automatic transmission, pneumatic suspension and hydraulic brake system, the AAAB system can climb up to 50% gradient, move on 30% side slope and cross a trench of maximum 2m. The AAAB system has two water pump jets that provide the water operations and 360° movements in the water. The system can operate in water currents up to 2.5m/s (10km/h).
The FNSS AAAB, different from the similar systems in the market, has an 8x8 drive system with a central tire inflation system. For the safety issues, AAAB system has a self-recovery winch, an automatic fire suppression system, a fixed fire extinguishing system, portable fire extinguishers, and positive pressure NBC system. The standard equipment of the FNSS AAAB includes also Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control (CT), land and emergency anchoring systems, radio intercom systems, on board diagnostics system and automatic bilge pumps with manual override.
As a ferry, the AAAB system can transport MLC 21 tracked vehicles. By deploying the ramps, which are carried by a hydraulic crane, and joining two systems, MLC70 T vehicle can be transported. In road position, the crane is on the centerline of the vehicle. By coupling three systems from ramp to ramp MLC100 W vehicle can be transported through a river. As well as the role as a ferry, 12 AAAB systems can be coupled and constructed as a 150m long bridge for crossing of vehicles up to MLC100 W.

Technology can be a great companion for stroke survivors with aphasia, opening up multiple avenues to communicate and connect. Here are just a few examples.
Smartphones and tablets and other devices let you store family photos and access emails and social media sites like Facebook.
Text-to-speech features help with reading comprehension. They’re available on Kindle, Apple and Android devices.
Mapping apps help survivors (and many others!) get where they need to go by communicating directions.
Language apps let you click on a picture or word and hear it pronounced.
Sketch pad apps save drawings that may be helpful later.
Word prediction software encourages writing.
Technology can also encourage socialization. Survivors with aphasia can become socially isolated because communication is frustrating. But Skype and Facetime allow them to communicate with gestures more easily, and online communities are great ways to find support and keep in touch.
Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook may also have supportive communities.You can also join the Support Network, our online community. And simple email and texting are quick ways to communicate. Keep trying until you find the methods that work best for you.
Now the progress does not stop when the rehab session does.
For every Constant Therapy subscription sold thru the American Stroke Association from June 1, 2018 through May 31, 2020, the Learning Corp will donate $2.50 per monthly subscription or $25 per yearly subscription to the ASA’s Together to End Stroke® Initiative, for a minimum donation of $50,000.00.

When I was a high school English teacher, I envied those teachers who were able to retire after teaching at the same school for 20 or 30 years. They were celebrated and thanked for their many years of service. How were they so satisfied to stay in one place? Why couldn’t I be like them? I taught at four different schools during my short six-year career as a high school English teacher. Not only that, I’d served at five different churches as a part-time director of children or youth or English ministry in a span of fifteen years or so. Although I had not gotten fired from any of those places, I felt like I needed a certain mental and spiritual framework to understand my restlessness when it came to work. With constant shift in my work, I felt fragmented at times because of our society’s promotion of loyalty to one career or place of employment.
My first call was to Resident Ministry at a wonderful teaching church in Michigan. It was a validated ministry modeled after the medical residency program where I would have to seek another call after two years. Great — Just what I was looking for, I thought to myself. But as my two years came to a close, the church decided to do what they had never done in their fourteen years of Resident Ministry program: They offered me a position! Here was my chance to settle down and continue to build on the work I had done for the last two years! I started to get excited until…another offer came in—a contract position that had the possibility to become permanent. It was an agonizing choice to make, but at the end, I decided to go with the second offer.
Fast forward a year, and here I am getting ready for my installation in a few months. I look back on the countless jobs I have had throughout my lifetime, and I see the hand of God in every single one of them. Even though the world might describe my work history as “spotty” at best, I cannot help but to be grateful for each and every one of those jobs that taught me important skills and brought special relationships into my life. I may not have mastered the art of staying in one place for too long, but I have certainly learned the art of flexibility, how to hit the ground running, how to work with difficult co-workers, and how to gracefully exit a workplace when it is time to do so. I’ve learned to listen to my heart with greater intensity and find the voice within me that do not always agree with the “settled” ways of the world. When I see my work not as merely a job but a vocation that longs for a journey rather than a destination, my resume of endless pages is transformed into a passport with many stamps from exotic lands.
That is the true work that lies ahead of me. It’ll take many different places, people, and landscapes to get me there. And I’m okay with that.

Our attorney is one of only 250 lawyers in the State certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Criminal Trial Attorney. Less than one half of 1 percent of attorneys in the State have this designation. To gain this certification, a lawyer must have at least five years of experience, 10 jury trials, pass a rigorous examination given by the Supreme Court, obtain the recommendation of three Judges or other Certified Trial Attorneys, and complete 10 hours of continuing legal education every year. The certification must be renewed every five years. Many of the Certified Criminal Trial Attorneys are in government service or are retired, so even fewer actively practice criminal defense law.
A Certified Criminal Trial Attorney therefore must have the necessary experience in criminal law to obtain the title, and must continue his education and be up-to-date on the law. New Jersey just recently required continuing education for all its lawyers. Certified Trial Attorneys have had that requirement all along.
Noncertified or less experienced criminal defense lawyers often hire a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney to take important cases before a Judge and jury.
Trial lawyers in many counties have established tutelage programs for their lawyers. The Inns of Court are based upon the English Barrister system where both defense attorneys and prosecutors meet together with Judges from the area to have dinner, socialize, and learn.
The Inns typically have ranks, with Judges obtaining the position of Masters of the Bench. Lawyers start as Pupils, and then graduate to Barrister. They may eventually be named a Master of the Inn.
As a Master of the Inn of Court, Mark M. Cheser tutors less experienced lawyers on various legal topics. He has also taught continuing legal education classes at colleges throughout the area.
As a former Assistant Prosecutor, he knows how the government puts together a case, so he understands how to take one apart. Mark M. Cheser was an Assistant Prosecutor from 1980-1983. He was assigned to the Appellate, Juvenile, Assignment Judge and Trial Sections. He also worked with the Anti-Drug Task Force and the Elizabeth Project. As a Prosecutor, Mark M. Cheser tried 28 cases to verdict and handled over 500 other matters, ranging from homicide to petty theft. He therefore knows how the state prepares and evaluates their cases. This experience in essential in preparing a defense.

Hello I'm Tom from Lazuli Shoals. The Picture above is of the essential band members from left to right is myself Tom Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Linn Jennings on drums, and David Cordell on bass.
After recording seven tracks on the Album Creature with Rare Elephant, I moved out of Seattle to get out of the city and find a closer connection to the back roads of Puget Sound. I was very lucky to meet Linn Jennings (Percussion) and David Cordell (Bass) the other members of Lazuli Shoals. The songs I've written over the years are the focus of our vision (More later). I am confident the up and coming album Brooding will be a landmark debut album. If you have the Will please have a listen. In any future events Lazuli Shoals will be playing all the songs I have written. This includes any songs from previous bands including, The Consequences, and Rare Elephant, In the near future Lazuli Shoals will be releasing another album and it will be Tom Armstrong's Collected Works by Lazuli Shoals. This will include live versions of all the material I have recorded with all My past bands including releases of songs re-recorded by The Consequences and Rare Elephant.
I believe there are many, many, people here in North West Washington that have traveled as deep into the farthest reaches and corners of the Puget Sound Basin as the Band Mates from Lazuli Shoals. The idea of the name of Lazuli Shoals came from Linn Jennings' a Master Boatwright living on Puget Sound with his beautiful wife and David Cordell, with his beautiful wife, living in the rustic town of Snohomish originally called Cadyville. The idea of the troubled waters and the need for a musical reference was dominant as we we thought about a name for the band. The idea of Shoals comes from all the hidden rocks in all the deceptive locations in the sound itself. Such as Deception Pass and Cattle Point on San Juan Island. If you can't navigate these water ways then it could be a reason to sing the blues. Robert Plant once said "I sing for the blue note!" and from there I had considered another name for blue=Lazuli!

Anyway, the other day a story apparently emerged in which several reality-TV-show crew members basically came out anonymously and admitted that they often do things to influence the behavior of contestants and change the course of the show's events. In other words, they admitted that the shows are rigged.
The radio DJ chick was in shock - serious shock. She was having a hard time coping with the possibility that all of her favorite reality-TV shows might not be "real."

Bayside Dental Office | Bell Family Dental P.C.
No one wants to have cavities or gum disease, and just a few simple and effective measures go a long way toward preventing them. At Bell Family Dental, our priority is to keep your oral wellness at a high level with advice on what you can do on your own, as well as with twice-yearly examinations and cleanings.
Even when you actually have a cavity or gum disease, it’s not too late to take advantage of preventive care. A small cavity can be filled, thereby stopping the hole from becoming bigger, which may lead to pain and infection, along with treatments like root canal therapy or a tooth extraction. And gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease, can be reversed with a routine teeth cleaning here at our Bayside dental office so that progression to the advanced stage will be halted. And considering that the results of advanced gum disease include persistent bad breath, bleeding gums while brushing, receding gums, and loss of gum and bone tissue, it’s all the more vital to take advantage of preventive care. Long before those more severe consequences are a possibility, though, you can take action that will reap valuable benefits. Among them are good nutrition, daily oral hygiene at home, and visits to our Bayside dental office on a six month schedule for examinations and cleanings. Children are even more prone to tooth decay, and so it is a good idea to take advantage of what dental sealants and fluoride treatments can provide for them. Sealants are liquid plastics applied to the grooves and depressions of his or her chewing surfaces and then hardened to create a barrier against decay. And fluoride treatments strengthen her or his enamel against decay in general.
Don’t let crucial preventive care pass you or your family by. Reach out to our Bayside dental office to book an appointment.

MUMBAI, Mar 8 (PTI) E-commerce and consumer Internet companies have raised over USD 7 billion in private equity and venture capital funds in 2018, says a report. Of the total investment, startups such as Oyo, Swiggy, Byjus, Paytm Mall, Pine Labs, Zomato, Udaan, Policybazaar and Curefit collectively raised the lions share of USD 4.6 billion in 2018, says an EY report.
The report covers sectors such as travel and hospitality, edutech, payments and wallets, fintech and healthtech, among others, as part of the e-commerce and consumer internet segment. A few large deals included Walmarts acquisition of Flipkart for USD 16 billion, Alibabas investment in Bigbasket and Paytm, Tencents investment in Dream11, and Naspers investment in Byjus and Swiggy.
"This massive opportunity has been unlocked by the increasing number of digital transactions, digital literacy and the rise of rural e-commerce, growing use of vernacular content, adoption of the omni-channel strategy, low mobile data tariffs coupled with data-driven personalization," says the report.
The stimulus provided by Digital India, Start Up India and Make in India also helped, it added and expects the trends in terms of consolidation will continue in 2019 as well.
"Companies will need to consolidate to add more services and segments to expand the level of engagement with customers and leverage emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain and internet of things, among others, to service the market better," it said.

When Outlook.com finally replaced Hotmail, a (re-skinned) Hotmail was now the Outlook.com app. However, for those that complained about a simple re-skin from the old Hotmail app, you'll be stopped in your tracks with yesterday's update.
This look should feel a lot similar to the Outlook.com interface, and the Microsoft online services in general. Clicking the 3 stacked dots shows the menu, which can also be accessed by pressing the menu key/button or on screen control as well.
Also included in this update is conversations view. It is said to help with reading emails since mobile devices usually have small screen space, though I haven't tested this view because I'm personally not a fan of conversation view in general.
The update is available now from Google Play.
