The large fitness center doesn't overlook the ocean, as it's near the front entrance of the Sunscape Sabor hotel. Look for the fish pedicure in the reception area. The spa is quiet and decorated with luxurious elements such as large gemstones. A chocolate body wrap and sea facial are a few of the more creative treatment options. A full salon does nails, hair, and bridal makeup. ![]() There are treatment rooms for couples and singles, plus a relaxation lounge set with free tea. Men's and women's locker rooms have a hot tub, steam room, and sauna. However, guests at Sunscape cannot access the Secrets portion of the property. Guests at Secrets can also use Sunscape's two swimming pools, beach, and attend the nightly entertainment there. The features at Secrets Aura Cozumel are aimed squarely at adults, obviously, but some of them are located next door at the family-friendly sister property, Sunscape Sabor Cozumel. Guests celebrating something special, like a honeymoon or anniversary, get banners on their doors and special treats like Champagne, so it's worth mentioning your special occasion when you make a reservation. The best part though, is access to the Preferred swimming pool which has ocean views and a swim-up bar. Reception and concierge services here are expedited and more personalized. Guests also get access to an air-conditioned and private lounge that presents food services, a full bar, breakfast, and fast Wi-Fi. Chocolate covered strawberries are provided as a gift. The rooms are larger and the minibars include snacks and tequila - even the toiletries are nicer. The Preferred Club Suites come with loads of extra goodies. ![]() Note that some room blocks don't have elevators, just stairs. Cleanliness isn't an issue here, but past guests have complained about maintenance issues like slow drains and chipped paint. Toiletries and hairdryers are provided in all bathrooms. Standard Suites have a shower while the Preferred Club Suites include an enormous soaking tub and a rainfall shower. Meanwhile, the Preferred Club Suites have modern wood furniture, a clean-lined gray sofa, and abstract art on the walls.īathrooms vary according to price as well. The wood furniture looks like it's from the '80s. Standard Suites (the cheapest option) are a bit blah with beige tile floors and walls. Decor and room configuration varies slightly, but the overall look is contemporary. Some suites have direct pool (or waterslide) access or private rooftop swimming pools that overlook the ocean.Įach suite comes standard with free Wi-Fi, a free minibar that's stocked daily with beer, water, soda, and snacks, coffeemaker and coffee, a flat-screen TV, king-size bed, sitting area, and furnished balcony or terrace. The best options are in the Preferred section of the hotel, between the beach and the Preferred swimming pool. Obviously, the best deals are found at the edge of the property, farthest from the pools and beach, and these suites have minor wear and tear. Price varies depending on where the suite is located on the property and how recently it was renovated. See MoreĮach of the 238 rooms at Secrets is a spacious suite. There's a definite party vibe in the air, as expected when unlimited booze and the Mexican sun come together, but there are enough swimming pools and beach space to escape for quiet if that's what you're looking for. Sometimes there are several weddings happening at one time on the beach. ![]() Groups of friends stay here too and many people come back every single year. Kids aren't allowed here (they are next door at Sunscape Sabor Cozumel, the sister property) and the bulk of guests are couples. Towards the end of the day, the place can look a bit disheveled with abandoned towels and discarded cups, but staff puts everything in order before morning. Paved walkways meander through the large grounds which include palm trees, trimmed hedges, and tropical flowers. Just off of the lobby is the smallest pool in the property, the Relax Pool, which overlooks the white sand beach. Water and coffee are set out for guests' convenience. Overhead, light fixtures look like upside down candles. The lobby is set with a nature-inspired water fountain and there are several beige couches for seating. ![]() Guests are greeted in the white semi-open-air lobby with a cold towel and glass of Champagne before a staff member orients them to the hotel (and maybe offers a time-share pitch). Secrets Aura Cozumel was originally built as a Wyndham property and it seems that no expenses were spared in renovations and upkeep.

On an 88-key piano, starting from the lowest note on your keyboard and moving higher, middle C is the fourth C you can count. The following diagram shows middle C on a 49 key, 61 key, 76 key and 88 key keyboard/piano. Position yourself at the center of your piano. Well, not exactly in the middle, but close enough, and of all the C’s on your piano, it is the one nearest to the middle. This note, as the name suggests is in the middle of your 88-key piano keyboard. So which of all these C notes is middle C? ![]() In other words, those keys to the left of this piano key are usually played with the left hand while those to its right are usually played with the right hand. ![]() It’s also a general border for keys played with the left hand and those played with the right hand. When starting to learn piano, most books make their easiest pieces start on this note. It’s very important to find middle C because it is the starting point for many piano songs, especially for beginners. There are 8 C naturals on an 88-key piano, 6 C naturals on a 76-key, 6 C naturals on a 61-key keyboard and 5 C naturals on a 49-key keyboard. The note, C is to the immediate left of each set of two black keys. You will realize that they are arranged in groups of two and three. ![]() Take a good look at the black keys on your keyboard. My Best Recommendation: Click here for the BEST piano/keyboard course I’ve seen on the Internet.įirst of all let us find out where all the C’s are located on your piano or keyboard. Perhaps, you already know that there are 7 natural notes in music, by the way. This note is designated C4 in scientific pitch notation because of its position as the fourth C key on an 88-key piano. This beginner piano lesson is all about the musical note, middle C. If they differ, the test will fail instead. In this case, XCTAssertEqual will compare the first two values given to it and make sure that they're equal. Inside of the test, assertion APIs are used to evaluate and validate your source code. You'll also see a test diamond appear to the left of the test to show that Xcode can execute it. Each method we want to use as a test case must start with the word test and then hopefully be named something that indicates what it will do. The class itself is a subclass of XCTest case which allows its methods to be used by Xcode to execute tests. The class imports the XCTest framework along with the target to be tested. Now let's take a closer look at a test class that uses XCTest. You are also provided with the template to start writing each of these test classes and the test cases within them. In our brand new project, you can see the unit tests targeting class and the UI tests targeting class automatically created and displayed in your project navigator. The easiest way to get started with testing in your Xcode project is to choose to include both unit and UI tests when starting a new project. Today, we'll be focusing on unit and UI tests. Lastly, performance tests run multiple times over a given test to look at the average timing, memory usage or other metric given to it to make sure you don't introduce regressions in these areas. UI tests will be able to make sure that everything behaves correctly at the very end. UI tests are also black box test because they won't rely on any knowledge of the functions or classes actually supporting your app. ![]() UI tests execute on top of your app's UI to provide end-to-end qualification of your app. This includes both your standard unit test and also your integration tests. Unit tests in XCTest are all of your tests targeting your source code. So we just went over how to balance your test suite, so now let's switch to the tools provided by XCTest to help you implement it. The full pyramid of tests can therefore help you balance between these three different test types and ensures your test suite gives you the coverage that you need. UI tests also require more maintenance because your app's UI may change more frequently. UI tests take the longest to run but they're vital to demonstrating that everything behaves correctly. This makes sure that your app truly does what you expect it to. Lastly, user interface or UI tests observe the user-phasing behavior of your app. They may take slightly longer to run but they do test more of your app at once. You generally also won't need as many integration tests as unit test. Integration tests sit on top of unit tests, because you want to make sure that the individual functions behave correctly before testing this larger piece of your code. These tests should target discrete subsystems or clusters of classes to make sure that different components behave correctly together. Integration tests are used to validate a larger section of your code. This is the foundation of all of our testing so you want to write many unit tests to cover all your functions. Unit tests are short, simple, and run very quickly. This is done by inputting variables to the function and checking that they return the expected output. Unit tests help verify a single piece of code, generally a function. Unit tests are the foundation of our pyramid. The pyramid model approach to testing helps to strike a balance between thoroughness, quality and execution speed. We're going to start with a summary of how you should consider planning out the automation test suite of any project. You can also use test to codify requirements, meaning you make test for expected behaviors for your app, and further work by you and your team can be qualified against these expectations. Testing is an important step of developing any project which can help you find bugs in your source code. XCTest is the automation testing framework provided in Xcode with built-in support to help you set up and execute your tests. Finally, Ethan will show you applications of XCTest with continuous integration. Then, Stuart will tell you about the test plans feature. In today's session, we'll start with an introduction to testing in XCode with XCTest. ![]() My name is Ana Calinov and I'll be presenting along with my colleagues, Stuart Montgomery and Ethan Vaughan.

In 2009, she released a live album titled MTV Unplugged, which featured acoustic performances of five tracks from One of the Boys along with two new recordings, "Brick by Brick" and "Hackensack". They were later recorded by American singer Kelly Clarkson for her album All I Ever Wanted (2009). During the recording process of the album, Perry had written the songs " I Do Not Hook Up" and " Long Shot" with Kara DioGuardi and Greg Wells, but decided not to include them on the final track list. The track " Ur So Gay" opens with the lyrics "I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf," which BBC critic Lizzie Ennever believed was Perry's response to people who may have "wronged her in the past". The songs "Mannequin" and "Lost" have themes of determination and self-belief. Perry was the sole writer of " Thinking of You", "Mannequin", and the album's title track.

Red Hill Records shut down later that year. The album was unsuccessful and it failed to garner any attention. She wrote its songs "Last Call", "My Own Monster", "Spit", and "When There's Nothing Left" by herself while co-writing the remaining six with Mark Dickson, Scott Faircloff, Tommy Collier, and Brian White.
