Q: How long will I be in inpatient treatment?
A: Sundance Hospital is a short-term, crisis-oriented hospital. Our average length of stay is 8-12 days. However, length of stay is dependent on treatment progress and stability and therefore is different for each patient based on their individual needs.
Q: Who is the treatment, team?
A: The multidisciplinary treatment team may consist of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, registered nurses, therapists, discharge planners, and qualified mental health technicians.
Q: What does treatment consist of?
A: Our goal at Sundance Hospital is to allow patients to become familiar with and practice new ways of thinking, believing, and behaving that allows them to stay on a path of sustainable change. This is accomplished through collaboration of the patient and the dedicated treatment team assigned to provide you with the best care available. Treatment consists of a combination of therapeutic interventions and medication management. Therapeutic intervention is primarily based on a group modality to provide the most effective form of intervention and stabilization. Groups are structured to help patients meet their individual treatment goals. Patients will have the chance to participate in a variety of different therapeutic groups including: interpersonal process groups, psychoeducation groups, life enrichment groups, skills groups, recreation groups, art/music therapy groups, faith-based groups, addiction recovery/substance abuse groups, and animal assisted therapy groups.
Q: What is the role of my family members in treatment?
A: Family participation is an integral component of our multimodal treatment approach and we encourage family members to be actively involved in your treatment and care. Family members are encouraged to participate in daily phone contact with their loved one, as well as attend family visitation. Additionally, one Family Session is offered during the course of treatment.
Q: Can my family members call or visit?
A: Yes, visitation and daily phone time is scheduled to allow patient's the chance to be supported by their loved ones. Daily phone time is scheduled from 6:30-7:30PM. See the Visitation Schedule for visitation days/times.
Q: Am I allowed to have money?
A: Money is NOT permitted on the unit. We advise that all money be sent home prior to admission. When this is not possible, money will be stored in our locked safe and returned to you at the time of discharge.
Q: What personal belongings do I need to bring with me?
A: Clothing: You may have up to three pairs of clothes, one pair of pajamas and three sets of undergarments on the unit. All other belongings will be safety stored and returned to you upon discharge. Once belongings are placed in storage, they cannot be accessed until the time of discharge. Laundry service is provided upon request.
Hygiene Products: New (unopened), travel size, alcohol free hygiene products may be used during designated hygiene times. All hygiene products are stored in a designated area on the unit when not in use. Hygiene products are NOT permitted in patient rooms outside of the designated hygiene time.
Valuables: We strongly recommend that all valuables be sent home prior to admission. When this is not possible, valuables are stored in our locked safe and returned at the time of discharge.
Misc. Personal Belongings: While on the unit, you have access to books, board games, puzzles, magazines, journals, art supplies, etc. Therefore, we recommend that all miscellaneous personal belongings be sent home prior to admission. When this is not possible, personal belongings are safely stored and returned at the time of discharge. Once belongings are placed in storage, they cannot be accessed until the time of discharge.
Q: Is smoking permitted during inpatient treatment? If so, how often can I smoke?
A: Yes, smoking is permitted for adult patients. Patients have the opportunity to smoke four times per day during designated smoke breaks (see Program Schedules for times). Patients are allowed up to two cigarettes during each smoke break. Cigarettes are safely stored and distributed by a staff member prior to each smoke break. E-cigarettes are identified as contraband and therefore are not permitted during inpatient treatment.
Q: What can I expect regarding discharge?
A: You and your treatment team will work together to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan to meet your individual treatment needs. A therapist or discharge planner will help you arrange aftercare appointments prior to discharge. Sundance Hospital's continuum of care allows patients to move from an inpatient setting to a less intensive treatment program known as our Outpatient Program. Alumni patients benefit from this step-down level of care to support their transition out of inpatient treatment and back into their home environment.
Q: Can I leave whenever I want?
A: Voluntary patients (or their guardian) have the right to request discharge against medical advice (AMA) at any time during treatment. A 24- hour hold may be initiated by your psychiatrist to allow time for the treatment team to determine if you are safe for discharge. A court order for treatment may be requested by the psychiatrist for patients who are not deemed safe for discharge. If you request an AMA discharge, a clinical staff member will explain the process to you in detail.
Q: When do you use restraint and how does that work?
A: Restraint is not a treatment modality, but a last resort safety intervention when an imminent risk of danger to the individual or others exists. All of our direct care staff are trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) and verbal de-escalation techniques. See our Restrain Policy for additional information.
Q: What is seclusion?
A: Seclusion is not a treatment modality, but a last step safety intervention utilized to keep patients and others safe when behaviors presented pose an immediate risk of danger. See our Seclusion Policy for additional information.
Q: Is my stay confidential?
A: Sundance Hospital's policies and Federal Law protect the privacy of patients' identities and information. Disclosure of clinical information requires the patient's (or guardian's) consent. However, disclosures can occur without consent in certain circumstances, such as by court order or in a medical emergency.
Q: How can I request my Medical Records?
A: Medical Records can be requested by completing the Authorization to Disclose Medical Health Information form and following the instructions on the back of the form.
Q: What about school?
A: Sundance Hospital offers an academic program for child and adolescent patients facilitated by our Education Coordinator. Patients attend school approximately 60 minutes per day (Monday-Friday). Patients are not required to be withdrawn from their respective school and will receive excused absences for their time in treatment. Patients earn a pass/fail grade for their participation and completed work. Accommodations can be made for patients to complete work from their respective school. However, it is the responsibility of the caregiver to coordinate outside work with the patient's school.
Q: How often will I hear from the treatment team?
A: Therapist: A therapist will contact you within 24-48 hours of admission discuss your loved one's treatment and schedule a Family Session. Therapists are available to you 7 days a week from 9:00AM-5:00PM. If a therapist is not available immediately, feel free to leave a voicemail. All calls are returned within 24 hours.
Nurse: A nurse will communicate with you about medication management and is available to you 24 hours a day; 7 days a week to provide information. Caregivers should feel comfortable contacting the unit at any time day or night to speak to a nurse about their loved one.
Psychiatrist: The psychiatrist's primary focus is on direct patient care. However, he/she may contact you during the course of treatment to discuss your loved one's care. Many times the nurse or therapist can provide the best information on your loved one's progress.
Q: Will my loved one continue taking their current medications?
A: Only medications prescribed by the attending psychiatrist will be given to your loved one. Upon admission the psychiatrist will evaluate the patient's presenting symptoms and determine whether or not to continue their current medications.
Q: Will I be notified of medication changes?
A: A nurse will notify you of most medication changes including new medications and increases in medication. In emergency situation, medications may be given without consent.

Smokefree legislation/initiatives
The current legislation (Tobacco Control Act 1998) bans smoking in some public places such as restaurants, theatres, hospitals, and public transport. A Tobacco Control Enforcement Strategic Plan (2007-2011) has been prepared, and one of its objectives is to implement smokefree provisions in line with the FCTC.
Smokefree resources available in 2009
SEATCA www.seatca.org Includes Asia Pacific Report Card: WHO FCTC Articles 6,8, 11 & 13 (October 2008).
Resources are provided by the National Centre for Health Promotion, Tobacco Control Enforcement Unit, and the Fiji Cancer Society, an NGO working in partnership with the Ministry of Health in various outreach programs. However, there is great need to acquire resources to monitor and enforce Article 8.
Public education materials/implementation or enforcement materials
The National Centre for Health Promotion has been the leader in mass media campaign awareness regarding Article 8, with media campaigns such as "Winners don't smoke" and ad hoc anti-smoking campaigns and enforcement messages on television and radio. Other examples are the development of enforcement flyers, a summary version of the Tobacco Control Act, 'No smoking' signage and posters.
Needs related to implementing smokefree policies
Provision of awareness-raising information relating to Article 8. This needs to be provided in the three languages- Hindi, English and Fijian languages.
Funding is a constant problem.
Factors helping or hindering the implementation of Article 8
Article 8 is already included in the Tobacco Control Act 1998 -enforcement needs to be strengthened. Enforcement awareness campaigns need to be broadcast at least once every quarter on television, radio and other advertising media to ensure that members of the public are aware that they will be penalised for breaking the law.

Living paycheck-to-paycheck and working full time was not getting me the results I wanted in life. In my case, perhaps "paycheck-to-paycheck addiction" is a more accurate term.
The addiction of payday begins with rewarding myself for working 80-plus hours. Dinner out and a movie. A new toy. Maybe some new clothes. A weekend getaway. Lunch out every weekday for two weeks before running out of money a day or two before — you guessed it — payday!
The downside of my paycheck-to-paycheck addiction included all the things I was ignoring — a meaningful family life, my financial illiteracy and money issues, and an overall disorganized, procrastinated life.
So when the opportunity to exit presented itself in 2010, I fearlessly took that opportunity — in my own typical, though not so unique style, a.k.a., short on planning, quick on jumping. And much like the consequences of jumping from a spinning merry-go-round after riding too long, I stumbled about, got sick, and then began regaining my balance.
It was probably one of the best decisions I'd made in a very long time. Had I hesitated, I might be living with an outcome much sadder than the humbling experience that ensued.
In the course of the next six years, I did something I consider fantastic and also something very bad (or at least strategically ill-advised, haha).
Doing The Fantastic
I talked my wife into quitting her job so we could spend more time together. For a security-driven person like my wife, this was no small decision — and hurrah for her for taking the leap and working together with me toward a better future.
Spending more time together proved to be invaluable. I regained someone I felt that I was starting to lose. Of course, that's the short version, haha. But if faced with the same decision under the same circumstances, I'd do it again.
As another benefit, leaving behind the paycheck-to-paycheck, full-time job reminded me that life could move at a much slower pace and with less urgency. It was good to catch my breath again.
Doing The Strategically Ill-Advised
Still, life costs money. So we lived off of my part-time income and my 401k and a credit card. I was such a complete financial illiterate! And well, I now know that I could have done better things with that 401k.
All I can say about this is: terrible, terrible, terrible. In my case, it gave us five relatively-carefree-years of a slower pace of life that proved to be very good for us. Had I been capable, however, I would have done it differently.
Goodbye paycheck-to-paycheck life, Hello Life
Now let's fast forward through my 401k and end up, more or less, penniless — and in poor health— in 2015. In October of that year, we move in with my in-laws, and by 2016 I enroll in financial literacy kindergarten — and start this blog.
Starting in March 2016, I put my health in order. I'm grateful that I saw rapid progress on that front.
In December I started a new part-time situation and moved into our own apartment.
Now 2017 begins and promises so many good things. I bring with me my wife, her part-time job, a part-time business, a small measure of financial literacy, a new apartment, a new part-time situation, and about $12,000 in debt to paid off.
And to think: it all started with kissing goodbye my paycheck-to-paycheck life six years ago.

Here's two of my poetry e-zines from Somewhere Nowhere in My Kingdom, my strictly poetry blog.
Somewhere Nowhere in My Kingdom Vol. 1:
"I dream, therefore I become."
Somewhere Nowhere in My Kingdom: Vol 2
"I may think love destroys me, but it is love that sets me free."
I thought about merging that blog with this one, but it's become its own creature and takes no heed from me. I think I will break its heart if I force it to come into the den. (My Writing Cauldron, however, is a different story. Being a cauldron of writing, it has no objections when it comes to being relocated. It is, after all, a cauldron subjected to my personal whims, mwahahahahah.)
Here they are. And I apologize the pictures are kind of pixelated.
I actually created these 2 e-zines (along with editing, photography, designing etc) using Joomag's online editor. I don't think it is meant to accommodate the whole creative process, but oh well! I didn't know better than. I did my best extrapolating a cover photo using the primitive technology print screen. The actual e-zines are HD, I promise.
While you're at it, check out my Fool's Journey e-book, too!!! I'll give you a cookie. A digital one, that is. From Google search. I'm afraid you'll have to collect it on your own–but the cookies are there, I promise! 🙂
Anyways!! If you are still reading this long-winded introduction to the following 2 links, click the links already!!

Miami, FL
400 activities
Over the past two decades, Fort Lauderdale has transformed from a city known as a beer-stained spring-break mecca to the largest yachting center in North America. City streets and highways may be fine for the commoner's transportation needs, but Fort Lauderdale adds another option: canals. Intricate waterways connect ritzy homes with the intracoastal waterway, and even mere mortals can cruise the canals via the Water Taxi, an on-the-water bus system. "The Venice of America" also has 23 miles of beaches where spring-break mayhem still reigns supreme, making Fort "Liquordale" fun even for those who can't afford a yacht.
Fort Lauderdale is bigger than it looks. The city extends westward from its 23 miles stretch of beach to encompass nearly 450 sq. mi. Streets and boulevards run east-west and avenues run north-south. All are labeled "NW," "NE," "SW," or "SE" according to the quadrant. The two major roads in Fort Lauderdale are Broward Boulevard and Andrews Avenue. The brick-and-mortar downtown centers on US 1 (Federal Highway) and Las Olas Boulevard, about 2 miles west of the oceanfront. Yachts fill the inlets of the Intracoastal Waterway between downtown and the waterfront. The Strip (a.k.a. Rte. A1A, Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., 17th St. Causeway, Ocean Blvd., or Seabreeze Blvd.) runs 4 mi. along the beach between Oakland Park Boulevard to the north and Las Olas Boulevard to the south. North-south I-95 connects West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. Route 84/I-75 (Alligator Alley) runs 100 mi. west from Fort Lauderdale across the Everglades to small cities on Florida's Gulf Coast. Florida's Turnpike runs parallel to I-95.
Fort Lauderdale Beach doesn't have a dull spot on it, but most of the action is between Las Olas Blvd. and Sunrise Blvd. Alongside the canal system is the Las Olas waterfront, where people stroll and enjoy the clubs, restaurants, shopping, and bars.
Don't get distracted by the picturesque beaches and warm waters – Fort Lauderdale has so much more in store. Click the links to explore and book tours or local guides.
Locals and tourists alike flock to Las Olas Boulevard for a mix of casual and upscale restaurants and great people-watching. Though clubs along the strip offer massive quantities of free happy hour grub – wieners, chips and hors d'oeuvres come on surfboard-sized platters – most bars have hefty charges and drink minimums.
As any local will tell you, the real Fort Lauderdale nightlife action is in Old Town. Two blocks northwest of Las Olas Blvd. on Second St. near the Riverwalk district, the 300 ft. stretch of Old Town is packed with raucous bars, steamy clubs, cheap eats, and a stylish crowd. Considerably more expensive and geared specifically toward tourists, the Strip, along Rte. A1A and across from the beach, is home to several popular nightspots.

Local Wineries
Engelheim Vineyards
Engelheim Vineyards focuses on growing outstanding grapes to produce the highest quality of wines. Our objective is to give all glory to God while integrating our German heritage and our Appalachian home. We also hope to honor the original residents of Engelheim, the Cherokee Nation. The owners, Gary and Jan Engel and their family, decided to purchase the land that is now known as Engelheim (German for "Angel Home") in 2007. After Colonel Engel retired from the Army in 2004 and upon his return from Iraq and Kuwait, they decided to live their dream of living in the North Georgia Mountains to grow the finest quality grapes. The Engel family planted their first vines in 2009 and harvested their first vintage in 2011; Engelheim Vineyards has been going strong ever since. Visit Website
Crane Creek Vineyards
Crane Creek Vineyards sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, just three miles north of the quaint college town of Young Harris in the shadow of Brasstown Bald, the state's highest peak.

Housed in the old Bryson farmhouse, the tasting room at Crane Creek Vineyards is intimate and charming. There is something to please every one of your senses here! Visit Website

They frequently have live music on their patio, and a wonderful staff to provide tastings of their very good local wines.
Cartecay Vineyards was planted in the Spring of 2008 with two varieties, Vidal Blanc and Merlot. Since 2008 four more varieties have been planted; Traminette, Norton (Cynthiana), Catawba and Cabernet Sauvignon, with more planned. With good complexity for "locals", we love these wines! Visit Website
Chateau Meichtry Winery and Vineyards
Chateau Meichtry is one of Ellijay's newest vineyards and tasting rooms. It is a family owned and operated winery and vineyard, located in north Georgia wine country.

See events page for details!! Meichtry (pronounced "My-tree") is a lovely, scenic property has a great patio to while away an hour, or an afternoon, with their friendly and knowledgeable staff – and they have some wonderful, thoughtful varietals. Visit Website
Fainting Goat Vineyard
Fainting Goat Vineyard, located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is owned and operated by Dave and Robin Higginbotham and their daughter McKenzie. From conception to crush, their grapes are gently cared for and their wines are handcrafted. Taking a minimalist approach, they specialize in producing small lots of high quality wine. Their focus is to produce the best possible fruit to work with. We love their wine and beautiful property – and, they have a GREAT name! Visit Website

One question we often get from clients is, "What are the top WordPress plugins?" While we do install a small selection of plugins with our WordPress installation service, beyond those few, there just isn't a good answer to that question.
Think about it. Your business is not the same as our business. Do you need a lightbox plugin? We use one, but you may not need or want one. Do you need a "top commenters" widget? Only if your goal is to quickly build a community around your blog. What about a spam blocker – surely every blog needs that? Maybe not. Many blogs turn comments off, so even that one can be unnecessary.
Choose the Plugins that Work for YOU
Sure, it never hurts to browse the "Top WordPress Plugins" posts, but don't make the mistake of thinking that just because someone recommended a plugin, you have to have it. Consider first why and how you'll use it, whether it will add value to you or your readers, or if it will simply add to your server load.
Consider, too, if you will always use the plugin. Of course, you can't predict the future, but if you use, for example, a certain SEO plugin for several months and then change to a different one, the tweaks you made to those posts will disappear when you uninstall the old plugin. Do you really want to have to leave an unused – and possibly outdated – plugin active on your site indefinitely? A much better idea is to choose only those plugins that are necessary for your site to run efficiently.
There are no Magic Beans. Or Plugins.
We love plugins for WordPress. They can make your job as a blogger (and our job as designers) much easier by adding much-needed functionality to your website. They can enhance your SEO, stylize your photos, and make adding product listings a breeze. But no plugin will instantly make your blog popular or drive it to the top of the search engine results. Only you can do that.
Want to talk about what plugins you DO need for your WordPress site? Send us an email. We'll be glad to discuss it with you!

Hi there ,I am Matsu from J-hoppers Hida Takayama.
This time I went to Tateyama in Toyama prefecture.
It takes 2 and half hours by car from Takayama.
Tateyama is known for Tateyama -Kurobe Alpine Route.The route is 90km route .That connects Toyama with Nagano via sacred mountains.
You can enjoy the magnificent view with different transportation:cable car bus train,trolley bus and your two feet.
This is the website of Kurobe Alpine Route as below.
Actually there is the longest waterfall at the bottom of Tateyama Alpine Route.
We parked my car near the waterfall and walked there
How amazing!It is 350m from the bottom.It is the longest waterfall in Japan.
You get spray of water from the waterfall.Even we are 50m away from the waterfall.
That makes you feel good!!
One more thing I have to say is that there is another waterfall showing up on the right side when it rains really hard.
It is 500m from the bottom.
Can you believe that?

Every school must be able to answer this question, "How do we assure that we have a great faculty to deliver the mission with excellence, and ultimately increase student performance, satisfaction, and enthusiasm?"
According to research, "teacher effectiveness" may be the dominant factor in student performance. The education industry has long attempted to develop teacher evaluation systems to assure that students have the most effective teachers. They have typically used a two-pronged approach: (1) use the results of the evaluation to drive teacher professional development, and (2) assure that only the best teachers are retained and rewarded from year to year. Despite the number of attempts and approaches, traditional teacher evaluation systems have been maligned because of their failure to accurately discriminate between effective and ineffective teachers or drive professional development. In other words, there is little evidence their use improves student outcomes.
- Review research illuminating why teacher evaluation doesn't work as expected
- Outline the core issues as to why traditional evaluation of faculty can never work optimally
- Suggest a different paradigm and basic tenants of ISM's Comprehensive Faculty Development II
Run Time:
Total run time is 60 minutes. The presentation will run approximately 45 minutes with15 minutes designated for Q&A.
Who Should Attend:
This Webinar is for all school leaders particularly Heads of School, Division Heads, Human Resource professionals and anyone involved in facilitating the professional development of faculty.

Ballmer: Windows 7 worth the investment
Ballmer acknowledged that many businesses are long-overdue for a PC and OS refresh, because many are still using Windows XP or even Windows 2000.
Still, the improvements in Windows 7 and the need to upgrade soon are no guarantee that businesses will free up their budgets for Windows 7, and Ballmer seemed mindful of this.
But he said the triptych of products Microsoft highlighted at the event are the company's best effort to help customers do more with less, and that strategic investments in software will ultimately help businesses save money.
"Now is one of the most challenging times ever in the IT business," Ballmer said. "These are three products that are really super-well-suited to the new efficiency. Now we really get to show our stuff."

Published at Wednesday, February 14th, 2018 - 11:18:18 AM. Modern Kitchen. By Ulysse Janine.
Hit to Read More
That depends upon your taste! For some people, a kitchen island will be a needless expense and inconvenience, limiting movement around a modern kitchen. For others, having extra seating space is a vital aspect of the kitchen, turning it from just a food preparation space to a social setting. If you don't have access to an outside terrace or if the dining room is further away from your modern kitchen, then an island could be an ideal addition. However, if you have a small kitchen, then trying to cram an island in could spoil the harmony of the design, which should be avoided at all costs.
Modern kitchen designs add a unique touch of elegance and class to a home that otherwise might be just like every other home on the block. That's why the concept of modern kitchen decoration has become so popular in recent years. The prominence of modern kitchen design in the entertainment industry has also contributed to this trend.

Dear xxxxxx,
Dear iTunes Music Store team,
I am very sorry to follow up once again, but you don't seem to have
understood my problem. This is very common, as I tend to have problems other people don't have.
So, here goes again (clears throat):
I attempted to download an episode that for some technical reason did
not show up in my download queue. Puzzled and somewhat dismayed (it was my birthday you see, and I couldn't get the Daily Show), I clicked
to download it (yes, my birthday, not making that up).
Now, instead of
a) displaying the warning that I already owned the episode – after
which I could have decided to go ahead and buy it a second time or
waited for this rather technical issue to be fixed at some time in the
b) downloading the episode without charging me again (I had already
paid for it, after all), it got bought again. This despite the fact
that I had already paid for it (did I mention I had, in fact, already
paid for it?) and not been able to download it (even though I had, as
you might not know yet, already paid for it.)
Now, call me crazy (hey, I'm writing the second e-mail over a $1.99
purchase, I might well be), but since iTunes has so far always known
what I have and have not bought before, (magic!) I had high hopes that
this was somehow standard procedure.
Oh well.
What I find somewhat absurd, however is that you write that "this
policy … provides protection for copyrighted materials" and then
give me this whole standard e-mail about how to download stuff from
the iTunes Store. I know the lawyers came up with that one, (well,
probably not the part where it tells me how to download stuff) but you
should rethink it. It's not all that sensical as an (don't ya love
parentheses? (or is that parenthesises?) I could ( use ) them(( all
))) day) answer.
Seriously: if I have it once, I can pretty much play it as many times
as I like on as many computers and iPods as I can when I have it
twice. Heck, for the fun of it I could actually have two copies of the
same downloaded file in my iTunes library by means of the "copy"
command. In case one of them loses all its bytes. Sad, sad file that
it would be. Just saying.
somewhat less enthused iTunes Music Store user.
P.S.: If you don't do refunds, period, why would you actually waste
your time carefully considering giving them (as you said in your e-mail)? Is that a lunchbreak thing? Or more of an abstract thought experiment?
Or did the lawyers make you do it? Cause, you know, they did write that
part about the refund policy, maybe they felt bad.


text: Right now I'm trying complete my website, after reading stuff on this forum I heard that the best way to make money internet marketing is with email marketing. Should I just give up on my website and turn it into a squeeze page create a list ? Or should I keep going with my website

As per the Ipsos City Index, which interviewed over 18,000 people, aged between 16 and 64, in 26 countries worldwide, Abu Dhabi has been ranked the second-best city in the world for living, working and for business.
Abu Dhabi has moved two spots since last year's report, coming ahead of major cities like London and Paris, but remained behind New York, which retained the number one spot. Around 21 percent of the surveyed participants named Abu Dhabi as a top city to do business in, just 2 percent behind New York.
The Gulf city also ranked highest among participants from younger generations such as Generation X, Millennials and Generation Z.
To quote Saif Saeed Ghobash, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority, TCA Abu Dhabi, "The rise of Abu Dhabi in this global ranking is testament to the ongoing efforts to establish the emirate as not only a tourist destination of distinction, but a location that international communities want to work, live and do business in. Its distinct popularity among the younger generations highlights the need for global cities to diversify and innovate to sustain their position and strength as business and tourism hubs." Ghobash stressed that the persistent rise of tourism in Abu Dhabi meant that it will grow from strength to strength as more international visitors experience what the emirate has to offer.
From the period stretching from January to May 2017, Abu Dhabi recorded nearly 2 million hotel guest arrivals, which is a 4 percent rise since the same period last year. Over 600,000 hotel guests in the emirate were classified as local visitors. Other cities on the list included Sydney, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Moscow and Toronto among others.

A play about the emancipated Noor Jahan and her love story with Emperor Jahangir. A tale of love that begins with the youthful passion of Mehrunissa for Jahangir, to the mature Noor Jahan in captivity. Both facets of Noor Jahan come to life in the play and tell the story of a woman who was a poetess, designer, architect, perfumer, lover and an Empress who defined women's emancipation long before it became a term the world knew. Court intrigues cannot pull her down nor custom stale her effervescent spirit. The play spans the life of this enigma and takes you on a racy tale of short scenes through the twists and turns of romance as many try to end NoorJahan's meteoric rise.
NoorJahan: An Empress Reveals is the newest play Delhi's oldest Theatre group Yatrik. The play is written and directed Avijit Dutt and features Vidushi Mehra, Vani Vyas, Oroon
Das, Priyanka Sharma, Yuvraj Bajwa, Rea Krishna and Shekhar Murugan. The play is in English.

Review: A beautiful script executed with passion and fire. The artistes performed so well that even the last dialogue was thrown with the same power as the first. The carefully chosen background score effectively set our mood and I noticed a lot of heads bobbing with the music notes during the brief intervals.
But speaking from a 20-something mindset, it could have been a little more realistic when it came to the set design, and supporting action in the background. Even if it's folding a large piece of blanket or doing hand embroidery on it, it could be a tad more real because my mind kept getting distracted why is it taking so long to do whatever they're doing. Besides these nuances, I missed seeing a throne and anything that represents that opulence of the Mughal era.
Those who are well versed with history and especially the tales of Mehrunissa, might have found the play unjust to the richness of historical events. BlabberCat purrs thrice for Noor Jahan: An emperor reveals.

While every industry has its ups and downs, fashion is the only industry that is up even when it's down. Designers don't stop designing, people won't stop wearing clothes, the idea of looking new will not stop reocurring our minds. Even if an individual is not directly related to this industry, the curiosity of the vast glamourous art world bedazzles everyone. Reading real life stories of how certain labels became a global superpower or what a designer's journey has been like or how your dream bag is made, is the most satisfying dream come true. For those who live for fashion probably do understand the rewarding feeling one experiences when hearing it from the horse's mouth. It's emotional and magical at the same time.

Try to imagine a perfectly grilled chicken. Barcelos gives you a magic ingredient to make it even better. It's called the Supa Peri sauce.
Home to top designers, fashionistas and high-end stores, Kolkata has already made an impression on the fashion map. BlabberCat nudges all the Kolkata bloggers to revisit their wardrobes with Ommyra Labels' Indo-western range.
As a writer, a literature meet is a Utopian abode where likeminded people are found together absorbed all the energy that has, over the years, built us the way we are.
The boho spirit doesn't see the day and time, the traveller doesn't stop for anyone unless someone needs help, no good conversations flow out of formality, love blooms every enjoyable moment and everything around makes you feel at ease, let go and breathe.
As I neared the meeting spot, I noticed a bunch of curious foodies, with no fixed pattern or narrow group type, scattered but yet gathered to embark on a memorable food journey. And as we had expected, there was no formal introduction required because mostly everyone recognised each other from social media or word of mouth. A home baker, whose Instagram food photography beats any restaurant in Kolkata, IIHM Young Chef India winners Garima Poddar and Simran Kapur, Kolkata Foodie girls Priyanka Gupta and Ritika Jaiswal, anonymous reporter who couldn't disclose his portal for company's policies were among the few who had come with big appetites and open minds. #KolkataFoodJourney presented Entrée to Dessert and The India Diaries was in association with Uber Cabs and dessert partner was Mrs Magpie, Chocolate Partner was Chocotarian, online media partner was BlabberCat. For the first time ever in Kolkata, a journey of food of this calibre was organised which created quite the stir and now everyone wants a sequel.
The advent of Irish House in Kolkata almost ushered in the drinking culture in the City of Joy; and it has been one of the most popular hangout spots for the youth ever since, especially during its happy hours (4-7pm). So when BlabberCat was invited to try its revamped menu launch, we were mouth-wateringly excited to find out what new did the bar have to offer. – Anushree Kanoi
Winters in Kolkata magically spreads peace and love. The lazy sun, the Christmas pop-ups and carnivals, the cute outfits that we can't wait to wear; they're all perfectly acceptable reasons as to why one would NOT want to study. I mean, we just get about a month to enjoy outdoors, it isn't even humanly possible to make slogging our priority. So BlabberCat is here to the rescue, once again, bringing to you a list of the best places to study in Kolkata, where one can enjoy the best of what the season has to offer, without worrying about how big a disaster the next exam is going to be. And how much can you study sitting in the same place, a change in the study spot can really help bring back focus and refreshes your thinking ability.
The story of Bodh reminds us of the 7 fundamentals of design taught by the Zen philosophy of Buddhism. We style 7 looks representing each Zen teaching.
Breaking #BeautyBarriers by BlabberCat, in association with Ommyra, is a social media campaign to break the stereotype of beauty.

She's not made of sequins or gold, she's made of glistening heat and risen from the mud, and walks the beaten path on her own. Join her or walk past, but try pulling her back and she'll bury you in the same mud. A story of the Kalighata summer Bride.
One would never guess, that amidst a popping Salt Lake spot with such a high energy corporate and college crowd, is a vintage chic fine dining restaurant. My only speculation was, will the food live up to such an elaborate and stunning interior? More importantly, the presentation was so soul touching, was the taste remotely lost?
BlabberCat's purrrrfect way to wear sarees like any other outfit for work and for fun. Ritu Kumar's new summer saree story talks traditions and narrates new twists and turns. We chose the same saree in two different colours and wore it in two completely different styles.

There's this heady rush a shopaholic gets when they hear the name of H&M. 'It's fashion's true love' some say, 'it's not a rip off' others say but most importantly when you walk in an H&M store you can shop till you drop and end up revamping your wardrobe with style and look high profile.
"After 25 years in the Fashion industry this is certainly one of life's full circle moments for me," says Ritu Beri.
The City of Joy recently welcomed Eat Good Food, a restaurant serving wholesome and palatable meals, on Tarak Dutta Road, and BlabberCat was there to check (and eat) it out!

Country information
What a perfect and compact tour to explore Kerala, India's southern paradise. No doubt, Cochin with its narrow lanes, old building, this coastal town is the best starting point for your tour. Besides misty laden hill stations (Munnar), exotic wildlife (Periyar) and lively backwaters (Kumarakom), will thrill every visitor. Situated along the shores of the Indian Ocean and the spice growing Cardamom Hills to the east, Kerala is by far the most beautiful and fertile part in India. Admittedly, a highlight of your tour will be an overnight stay onboard the houseboat in Alleppey.
Munnar Hill Station
Located 1,524 meters above sea-level. Munnar's cool climate provides a welcome relief from the heat of the plains. Carpets of tea plantations (Camellia Sinensis) cover the surrounding hills. This makes them one of the world's highest plantations.
Between the hills and coast are the lush backwaters, a network of waterways providing fish for food, water for farming and a communication route for local villagers.
Kerala Backwaters
As a result of its outstanding network of canals, lakes, lagoons and estuaries, it is the perfect place to enjoy nature. The backwaters play a major role in helping it earn international fame. The peaceful and blissful blue backwaters promise to make your stay so treasured that it will stay engraved in your mind forever.
Palm trees, pandanus shrubs, leafy plants and bushes fringing the backwaters leave the onlookers captivated.
Backwater cruise
The backwater cruise represents beauty, excitement, fun and pleasure. Indeed, cruising across the waters on a traditional houseboat is like slipping slowly into a heavenly dream.
The traditional Houseboats, also called Kettuvallams, come in various sizes and are equipped with modern comforts and fitted in traditional Kerala style. They provide the best ways of exploring the treasured beauty of Kerala. Kettuvallams are built of bamboo poles and mats, coconut fiber, ropes and carpets and are therefore eco-friendly. It has one or two bedrooms rooms and a small sitting room. The food onboard consists of local Kerala dishes giving you a real taste of Kerala cuisine.
The spellbinding backwaters of Kerala also attract beautiful birds. Terns, kingfisher, darters and cormorants to mention a few. All in all, a perfect paradise for the birdwatcher

This is a special kind of shop that offers a unique range of fairly-traded products from small producer groups in developing countries.
Gateway World Shop is a Christian alternative retailing company whose aim is to address poverty and injustice in the third world through its work as a fair trader.
Our products cover a wide range - pottery, jewellery, clothing, household items, foodstuffs, and recycled paper. They come mostly from the third world, from sources which give their workers a fair deal and pursue reasonable social policies. We believe that people should be encouraged to work their own way out of poverty by funding fair and just outlets for their goods.
We act as a 'gateway' between the market place and church, believing that God is particularly concerned about poverty and injustice, calling us to bring His love and justice to a needy world.
Fair Trade has many features but most fair trade shops promote:
Fair Trade is about partnership - partnerships with producer groups who create quality products reflecting their local culture.
Silversmiths in Mali, weavers in Peru, wood carvers in Nigeria, coffee planters in Latin America - all provide items we use and enjoy.
The fair price they receive enables them to send their children to school, improve community facilities and develop their products.
Through the British Association for Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS), Gateway World Shop maintains close links with similar groups in most other European countries.
These work together through the European Fair Trade Association (EFTA) and Network of European World Shops (NEWS) to campaign at government and local levels for change in the unfair structure of international trade.

This paper provides the essentials about dual-fuel engine technology and the dual-fuel-electric machinery, focussing on lastest developments(10pp)
Be the first to review this product
After some forty years of steam turbine dominance in LNG shipping, dual-fuel-electric machinery has established itself as a new market standard. Dual-fuel engines for fifty-two dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers have been ordered by seven shipyards for more than twelve ship owners. 2006 will see the first two dual-fuel-electric LNG carriers, Provalys and Gaz de France Energy, take to the sea.
This paper provides the essentials about dual-fuel engine technology and the dual-fuel-electric machinery concept for LNG carriers, compares different LNG carrier propulsion alternatives technically and commercially, and focuses on the latest developments with respect to both dual-fuel engine technology and the dual-fuel-electric machinery concept.

Mel B shares Victoria's suite
Mel B is to give birth in same delivery suite Victoria Beckham had her daughter Harper Seven in July.
The 36 year old is expecting her third child with husband Stephen Belafonte and has booked the same room at the Cedars-Sinai hospital in LA where Victoria was in July.
In an interview with Hello Mel said: "I emailed Victoria to invite her to my baby shower, but she was busy. We email or tweet each other, we've got to have a proper big catch up. The funny thing is I'm giving birth in the same delivery suite at Cedars-Sinai hospital that Victoria had Harper in."
Meanwhile the former Spice Girl is expecting to have to rely on her daughters to help her out as she's dreading the reaction of her husband. She reckons the film producer will probably pass out and require medical attention. "He'll be panicking and will probably take us to the wrong hospital. The suite I'm having the baby in has an adjoining room, so he'll probably be in there passed out on the floor or asking the doctor for an epidural."
