Villa Sull Oceano

This spacious beach front villa is situated on a beautiful white sand beach just a few steps away from the calm turquoise Caribbean Sea, lapping gently along the shore. At the front of the property is 90' of bulkhead and your private boat dock on the deep water of Jolly Harbour. There is a 20,000 pound rated boat lift and two 1,000 pound rated JetSki lifts.

The property is located on the coveted South Finger in the gated community of Jolly Harbor which also boasts an 18 hole golf course, 4 tennis courts, a squash court, an Olympic size swimming pool, supermarket, bank, several bars and restaurants and much more... all within the gates, and accessible by golf cart.

Newly built, great care has been taken to achieve perfection, from the very tasteful mix of contemporary and romantic designs, the very high standard of furnishings to the spacious and generous layout giving maximum privacy to all of the four air conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The home boasts spectacular views across the Caribbean Sea of Montserrat which can be enjoyed from virtually every room in the house and roof top terrace.

As you enter through the spacious elegant entrance into the foyer, you will enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean through the custom designed pocket doors that retract into the walls creating a 20 foot expanse connecting the outside gallery and the inside living room as one open space.

The gourmet kitchen has everything you could possibly wish for and just that little bit more. From ice makers, to the wine cooler and enough ovens to have a small banquet. There is also a large amount of storage space for groceries.

In the lounge there is a 63in flat panel TV with full surround sound and Cable TV, along with a SONOS stereo system which can also play ITunes/IPods as well as stream live music over the high speed Internet throughout the entire house. From this living area there is a corridor leading to two further guest rooms, both with stylish en-suite bathrooms and private terraces.

The master bedroom and bathroom is located at the front of the house overlooking the pool and ocean. The master bedroom is hexagonal in shape with views all around. The bed has its own TV coming up from the bed frame for your viewing pleasure and then down again when you have finished. The en-suite bathroom is absolutely exquisite with two showers, lots of space and a wonderful relaxing tub that is just calling out for bubbles and candles.

The living room and kitchen patio doors open up completely so that you have continual trade wind breezes and uninterrupted sea views. It's pure heaven. The covered veranda has a dining table for 8 people and a smaller table for 4. There is also a large day bed with comfortable cushions situated under one of the 12 ceiling fans throughout the home for relaxing into after a hard days sight-seeing.

There's an invigorating Jacuzzi which has a waterfall into the fresh water swimming pool, and four bar stools adjacent to the Bar-b-que / rotisserie and outdoor kitchen area for cold cocktails in the pool. Upstairs you will find a spacious sun terrace for sunbathing in private, or for casual drinks at sunset.

The BBQ is fully equipped with sink, ice cooler and fridge plus lots of storage and preparation room.

Just steps away from the pool is the soft white sand of the beach and the turquoise waters, making it irresistible, a must for a daily swim. There are two moorings at the shoreline to easily latch the Jetskis when you break for lunch.

Villa Sull Oceano is located just 5 minutes from Castaways restaurant which serves local foods, as well as Chinese, and on Thursday nights is Sushi night.

Toronto's Caribbean Carnival, Caribana Celebrates 50 Years in 2017 (Lakeshore, Toronto, Canada)

Toronto's Caribbean Carnival, often known by its original name, Caribana, celebrated its 50th anniversary on Saturday, August 5th, 2017. Caribana was 1st held in 1967, to mark Canada's 100th birthday (Canada was formed by Confederation in 1867).

The roots of Caribana can be traced back to the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. The Trinidad Carnival is the biggest festival of its kind in the Anglo Caribbean. In addition to Caribana, it has inspired other Caribbean-themed festivals like the Miami Carnival, Houston Carifest, the Notting Hill Carnival in London, and New York's Labor Day Parade, to name a few. But Caribana is one of the biggest of these kind of festivals in the world, attracting an estimated 1 million people.

The Trinidad Carnival began as a pre-Lenten festival when Spain ruled the island. In order to develop the island Spanish administrators invited lots of French sugar planters to settle on the island. Like Spain, France is a mostly Catholic country with a tradition of pre-Lenten celebrations. Lent is a time of self-denial in several Christian denominations (Catholics, some Protestants like Anglicans and Methodists), and some Orthodox churches. But pre-Lenten festivals were traditionally the biggest in Catholic countries, on the principle of 'getting it out of your system' (like bachelor's parties) before the austerity of Lent.

But in Trinidad the local carnival was influenced by other cultures. The French brought in lots of African slaves to work on the plantations. Later on the British took over the island and kept bringing in African slaves til the Atlantic Slave Trade was abolished in 1808. After slavery was abolished in 1838, lots of ex-slaves didn't want to work on plantations anymore or they wanted high wages. So the British planters brought in lots of indentured workers, mostly from India, but also from Portugal, China, Africa, and other places. Trinidad also received some Syrian and Lebanese immigrants. All these people started participating in the carnival, so that it became a blend of lots of different cultures.

In Toronto, the Trinidad Carnival model was changed and took in even more different influences. Caribana was held in summer instead of in the winter, unlike the Trinidad Carnival, because obviously it's cold in Canada. Caribana also brought in all the different islands of the Caribbean, not only Trinidad. While steelpans, calypso and soca are instruments and musical genres that are closely associated with Trinidad, at the Toronto Carnival you're likely to hear Jamaican reggae, dancehall, and even U.S. hip hop as well. People wave lots of flags at the parade, reflecting their heritage. There are flags from all over the Caribbean, and some from outside the Caribbean as well. At the parade I saw Canadian, Trinidadian, Jamaican, Barbadian, Haitian, Guyanese, and even Ghanaian and Nova Scotian flags.

Caribana is a money bonanza for Toronto. It brings lots of tourists to the downtown area. They book up downtown hotels, and fill up restaurants and nightclubs on Saturday after the parade. A lot of the tourists come from the United States for the parade, but many also come from other parts of Canada and from the Caribbean. There seem to be a particularly big contingent of visitors from Montreal, Quebec.

In addition to the parade, there's also Caribbean food sold in stalls along the parade route. I didn't try any this year because the lines were so long I couldn't be bothered. The parade runs along Lake Shore Boulevard, beside Lake Ontario. The main parade is free, but there's a closed-off area on the Exhibition Place grounds where you had to pay $18 Canadian to get in, if I remember correctly. Caribana takes place on a long weekend. The 1st Monday of August is a civic holiday in many parts of Canada. In Toronto the holidy is called Simcoe Day, but it goes by other names in other towns and provinces.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Charles John Huffam Dickens (; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today.Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.
Dickens's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. Cliffhanger endings in his serial publications kept readers in suspense. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens improved the character with positive features. His plots were carefully constructed, and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers.Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted, and, like many of his novels, evoke images of early Victorian London. His 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his best-known work of historical fiction. Dickens has been praised by fellow writers—from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell, G. K. Chesterton and Tom Wolfe—for his realism, comedy, prose style, unique characterisations, and social criticism. On the other hand, Oscar Wilde, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth, loose writing, and a vein of sentimentalism. The term Dickensian is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings, such as poor social conditions or comically repulsive characters.
