How Event Coordinators Pick Venues
Picking a venue is among the most sensitive judgements which event experts deal with. A study discovered what affects that judgement.
The biggest trade events in the conference and event business are generally targeted about linking two people: event experts and venues.
If you stroll the ground of IMEX or IBTM events you will observe a large number of venues (occasionally through conference agencies or nationwide tourism panels) from around the globe attempting to earn planners' support.
Hosted buyers plans were developed to aid this relationship. A few hosted buyers plans cover travel and hotel costs, provide entry to VIP lounges as well as luxurious private gatherings if the event expert has the capacity to display they deal with venue funding and are prepared to make consultations.
Technology isn't Standing & Watching
Among the most powerful concentration of technology companies in the last 3 years centered around assisting this trade.
Venue websites appeared everywhere. Sites where event coordinators searching for a fresh location or venue could discover all the details regarding possible contenders.
A few providers automated the RFP procedure. They jointly got venue managers to respond to event planners' requirements.
Unquestionably it is among the most popular aspects of technology where advancement could imply multi-million dollar income.
Why is Picking a Venue so Essential?
If you're getting started in the event business, you'll soon recognise that the venue judgement will have the largest influence on your finances and general performance of the occasion.
To astound event professional's choice, venues acquired charge of food catering, audio visuals and technology as a whole. They provide comprehensive deals which cover the majority of needs connected with events.
This kind of service unity makes the expenses larger and the importance linked to the selection more substantial.
Picking a venue is undoubtedly a choice which can make or break your occasion. It's that one choice where event experts experience the stress.
What Affects Venue Selection Approach
I can think of a number of elements impacting on judgements when it comes to selecting venues. However that will simply be my hypothesis. A truly and absolutely good hypothesis, but nonetheless a hypothesis.
Individual Connection is The Most Beneficial Route Impacting Judgements
Whilst as an event expert you might think it is very evident, this isn't always the situation for venue index sites, industry publications, search engines, events, blogs, etc.
Actually the study, that was performed amongst 5500 ISES associates, calculated selection preference amongst routes for example primary advertising, published media, technology (sites, search engines) and collateral advertising.
As a result referral marketing appears to be the route we count on when searching for a location or suggestions about picking out a venue.
Meeting Room Details Have The Greatest Impact on The Ultimate Choice
It is furthermore an appealing one to better appreciate how event experts minds function. Despite the studies have been performed within the ISES, as a result in a market that gives special focus to the venue element, the results are very astonishing.
The research discovered that meeting room details are the most crucial element in the choice, greater than the expense of location, points of interest, display area, food service, prior experience, rooms size and technical support.
Venue expense? For Real? I'd have suspected that pricing would be the main element impacting on judgements. Evidently not very true.
I'm amazed and this gives a message to all individuals advertising their venue or developing technology for advertising venues. Meeting Room details are what counts. Revealing the characteristics of your meeting room is what makes event professionals say yes!Read More
Things That You Should Remember When Booking Wedding Entertainment
A wedding magician in Kent are great for wedding entertainment. If you're thinking about booking one for your big day, know these five things first and save yourself some trouble and hopefully money.
Make Sure That You Book Early
If you are determined to book a magician for your wedding, and not resort to your second option for your wedding entertainment, book early. Don't go panicking and searching at the last minute because you're are likely to find all the good wedding magicians in town booked already, in the case that you do find one, they may be too expensive.
If Possible, Time Your Booking During Off Peak Season
Since we've already settled about booking early, what you have to do now is time it during off peak period. Why? Because off-peak reductions are so much cheaper. Weddings can be costly, so being smart and looking for ways to reduce expenses even in your entertainment doesn't hurt. The months of October, November, January and February would be the ideal time for booking.
Explain Your Wedding Theme To Your Magician
Just because they're all magicians doesn't mean they have the same tricks. In fact they may have different styles in performing. Most magicians do 'close-up' magic where they mingle among your guests to perform magic, but if you would rather have him do his tricks on the stage make sure you clarify that early on. Their approach to magic differs too; some are funny and chatty, while others are dark and mysterious. You should know how your magician performs first before you hire him.
Check The Black And White
The magician that you should be dealing with has to be professional enough to provide you a full contract along with terms and conditions. If not, then go and look for another one. Make sure you check, understand and agree on everything that is written before signing anything.
Choose A Wedding Magician From A Reputable Agency
To guarantee a fool-proof deal, you have to hire a wedding magician from a reputable agency. This will lessen the chances of having a headache instead of being entertained during your big day. Aside from that, communication, full terms and conditions and contracting, and other necessities are more secure here.

Wedding Photography Blunders That You'd Want To Avoid
For your perfect day you wan't everything to run smoothly right? Hiring a great photographer could keep things that way, let's face it you don't want any problems like the ones below:
Skimping Out On A Professional Wedding Photographer
If you're really trying to save money, hiring an amateur isn't going to help. Actually if you find his work is a disaster, you'll realise that you wasted money one someone who can't really do the job. Instead of taking chances, get the most of your money by hiring a professional wedding photographer who can really deliver.
Not Providing The "Don't Takes" And "Do Takes"
Failing to provide these before and your photographer is left with just guessing which shots you might like or not. Though his experience in wedding photography may have given him an understanding of the usual preferences of a couple when it comes to their wedding photos, you could have some particulars that he won't know because you didn't let him know. To prevent disappointments, get this ready ahead of time so he can prepare for it.
Catching The Lens All The Time
It's such an automatic response to look at the camera when you want to be shot. However, if you have to stop what you're doing all the time for the camera then it won't be a wedding; it'll be a simple photo shoot. Just continue enjoying the wedding and let some real candid photos to be taken. You don't want the entire album to be filled with posed pictures believe me.
Obsessing About Making Everything Perfect
Why stress yourself over things that are out of your control? Mishaps always happen but that shouldn't ruin such a momentous day. Besides, wedding photography isn't all about perfection in every detail; it's actually about catching the moment while you enjoy it, despite the broken heel or getting a little cake on your face.
If you hire a wedding photographer in Essex you're guaranteed to get great service, and a hundred percent blunder free.Read More

"Trusted sources" inside Apple have apparently told Ars Technica that the company plans to introduce movies and TV shows to iTunes UK "very soon".
The timescale being touted by these sources suggest that it could be within of a couple of weeks.
The rumours, which match comments from sources close to Pocket-lint, suggest that the technical aspects, and the content, are all set up and ready to go.
It is literally a matter of "flipping the switch" to enable iTunes users in the UK to access film, TV and video content.
No details were given about what this content might be - the assumption is because of copyright and territory restrictions, we will get a slightly different set of downloads than American iTunes offers.
Apple has been promising a full complement of iTunes content for us Brits by the end of this year so the timescale fits with known plans.
In the States a movie download "rental" service through iTunes, to help the appeal of Apple TV, has recently been rumoured.

As spring nears, set aside the winter bike or at least wintry thoughts for a moment to consider the condition and potential maintenance needs of your fairer weather cycle. There are several areas of your bicycle worth checking over in preparation for the warmer months. With a little practice, this check-over can help catch problems before they become hazardous annoyances or increase the cost of repair. Knowing what points on your bicycle need to be examined lets you monitor the wear incurred over a season and learn to anticipate maintenance needs.
Step 1: Keep the bike upright
Assessing your bike's condition and performing repairs is much easier if you have a repair stand to hold the bike. Many stands are available but Park Tool and Feedback make some of the finest. Unencumbered by the acrobatics of keeping the bike upright, you now have your hands free to proceed with your checklist.
Step 2: Check the rubber
The tires of your bicycle are a good starting point. Slowly rotate a wheel, looking for excessive surface wear and cuts that might let the tube poke through. Check all the tires' surfaces, not just the portion that contacts the road. The sides of the tire are also subject to abrasion or cuts from material encountered while riding. If your tires are still in usable condition, check the pressure and adjust as needed.
Step 3: Brakes
If the brakes feel less responsive than you prefer, there are several factors to consider. The brakes may simply need to be adjusted. They might also need new pads. Most modern rim brake pads feature a series of vertical indentations that act as a visual wear indicator. If your brake pads are thin and little or no marking is visible, it is time to replace them. If you have disc brakes, check the pad wear by checking that the amount of pad remaining exceeds the thickness of a nickel. Consider replacing or at least keep a close eye on them as they are near the end of their usable life.
Step 4: Check the drive train
Your chain, cassette, derailleurs and crankset probably need a dose of cleaning at least, possibly a new chain. The rollers and plates of your chain gradually slough away, leaving an increasingly ill-fitting chain that eventually needs replacement. If you think the chain is worn, a tool can accurately measure wear. Many options exist but some of the best are the Park CC-2, Prolink Chain Gauge and KMC's digital model. On the Park CC-2, a reading of 0.75 indicates a chain in need of replacement. Depending on several factors, a cassette or freewheel might outlast two or three chains. Riding style, regular cleaning, and frequency of lubrication all effect the expected lifetime of a chain. Eventually you will need to replace the cassette or freewheel but with a little cleaning and monitoring, it can enjoy several chains before retiring.
There are many other aspects of bicycle maintenance that could consume several pages but these represent a good starting point. If you have any questions about the topics here, stop in the shop or call. We are here to help.
When you are done with all this work, get out there and ride somewhere new!

Amada Senior Care Sacramento
As the owner of Amada Senior Care Sacramento, Naveen Vaid is dedicated to making the life of every senior we work with easier, safer, and more pleasant. Since taking on this mission, Naveen and his team have built Amada Sacramento into one of the most respected senior care companies in the area—and Naveed says this is merely the beginning of the impact he hopes to make on our community.
The stellar reputation earned by Amada Sacramento has extended to Roseville, Rockland, Folsom, Clarksville, Loomis, Fair Oaks, Arden, and surrounding areas. This success is fueled by our team's conviction that excellent in-home senior care is only achieved when caretakers go beyond the expected tasks like cooking and housework to understand and meet each client's unique needs and desires. The personal bonds we form with our clients allows us to find consistently meaningful ways to bring enjoyment into their lives.
Amada caregivers are trained to provide assistance with
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like:
If you or a loved one in the Sacramento area could benefit from assistance with these or other activities of daily living, we at Amada Senior Care are happy to help. Not only do we provide our clients with quality in-home care, but our support extends far beyond that. We also monitor our caregivers on a regular basis, check in with clients and their families to learn whether there is more we can do to assist them, guide families through the senior living selection and placement processes, and advise clients on how to maximize their benefits from the VA, long-term care insurance policies, and other resources.

Dane has a heart of gold, and it really shows in how his caregivers take care of the seniors they serve. The caregivers Amada sent were attuned, they were patient with my Mom (which was honestly difficult at times because of her Alzheimer's), and they always made sure she had what she needed. Unfortunately she's not with us anymore, but I'm so glad that the team at Amada was there to take care of her when she needed it most.
Senior Housing Advising and Placement Assistance
In the Sacramento area, seniors and their families have a wide range of assisted living communities, nursing homes, and senior housing communities to choose from. Our Amada Senior Care team members understand that the transition to a senior or care community is far more than a simple relocation: it often signifies a new way of life. This can feel overwhelming to say the least, and we are here to support our clients and their families through the entire process.
The first step for our senior housing advisory experts is to work with clients and their loved ones to honestly assess their care needs as well as other factors such as budgets, lifestyle, and location preferences. With this information, we can help families explore the best options for their unique situations.
These days, the "old folk's homes" of past generations are long gone and our clients have an array of different types of communities to choose from. For seniors who require more complex medical support, a nursing home can provide the care they need in a comfortable environment. Seniors who seek to live a bit more independently may be happiest in an assisted living community which offers a more independent and dynamic lifestyle.
The team at Amada Sacramento has working relationships with every type of senior community in our area, and we make use of our experience and knowledge to help clients and their families find the perfect place. Our senior housing advisers also help clients tackle the financial issues associated with transitioning to a care community by encouraging them to make the best use of resources like VA benefits and long-term care insurance.
Assisted living communities are designed to provide help for residents with basic ADLs. Some states also allow assisted living communities to offer medication assistance and/or reminders. Unlike nursing homes, though, assisted living communities do not offer complex medical services.
Every senior has unique care needs and preferences when it comes to assisted living communities. Amada is able to help families narrow down their options based on individual care needs, budget, location, and personal preferences.
Because Amada has extensive experience with long-term care insurance, veterans' programs, and other non-traditional payment options, we're also able to help families figure out the best ways to pay for assisted living. You don't have to navigate this process alone.
All of Amada's senior housing and assisted living placement services are completely free to our clients. By offering care giving and placement services, we are able to help seniors find the living arrangement that suits them best.
If you or your loved one has considered moving from a home-care, hospital, or rehab environment to a situation that offers more support and assistance, we can help you explore all options available to you. Amada Sacramento can refer you to the ideal community for your unique needs, as we regularly refer clients to:
- Assisted living communities
- Large and small communities
- Independent living communities
- Board and care homes
- Adult family homes
- Senior care homes
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Alzheimer/dementia communities

Home Care Technology
Amada Senior Care has partnered with some of the top software and technology developers to bring about a revolution in in-home care: BeClose. BeClose is the ideal solution for seniors who wish to remain independent at home and the family members who worry about them.
With BeClose, we allow our clients to choose from a number of different devices and services to custom-build the ideal home monitoring system for them.

BeClose also compiles reports on behavior and activity patterns, so families are able to identify any changes in routine that may signal the need for more comprehensive care to ensure their loved one's safety.
Whether you live across town from a beloved senior or across the world, Amada gives you the power to BeClose! For more information on our use of technology to improve senior care, click here for a Free Care Needs Consultation regarding our BeClose system.
Assistance for Aging Veterans
We are proud to serve a number of our country's military veterans and their spouses at Amada Senior Care Sacramento, and we have seen that many of these individuals aren't making full use of the benefits available to help them cover the cost of care. It is our mission to make sure that all veterans, surviving spouses of veterans, and their families know exactly what types of government assistance and benefits are available to them.
One especially beneficial resource for many seniors is the VA Aid and Attendance benefits program. If you are not sure whether you or your loved one qualifies for VA benefits for assistance with activities of daily living, please contact us for a Free Veteran's Care Needs Consultation.
Who Qualifies for VA Aid and Attendance Benefits:
- Claimants of VA Aid and Attendance must have served at least one day of active duty during a time of war and at least 90 days total active duty. Surviving spouses of qualified veterans may also receive these benefits.
- Dishonorable discharge precludes applicants from these benefits.
- Assistance from another person with activities of daily living (ADLs) is necessary.
- ADLs might include eating, bathing, dressing, walking, and cognitive support.
- The majority of applicant's income is spent on care.
- Percentage of income spent on care is a key factor in the benefits granted, up to a maximum amount.
- VA determines an acceptable limit of assets for benefit eligibility.
- Applicant's age and financial need are key factors in the determination of this limit.
VA Aid and Attendance are a small measure of our nation's gratitude for service and are designed to defray costs of senior care and ensure our veterans get the best care available. These benefits are:
- Tax free
- Not subject to repayment as long as eligibility is maintained
- Paid directly to claimants by the US Treasury

Manufacturer is Chiappa Firearms Ltd. / Kimar Plant in Brescia, Italy. Importer is Legacy Sport International of Nevada. Distributor and Warrantor is Chiappa Firearms of Dayton, OH. Service address 6785 West Third Street, Zip 45417, and that address is on the back of the instruction manual. Construction is a two piece sleeved steel 18 inch 1:16 rifling barrel; steel bolt and hammer and springs; polymer receiver; plymer operating handle and trigger group; polymer rear aperture sight with steel screws for windage and elevation adjustmet; polymer collar type post front sight; polymer magazines; polymer barrel band and bayonet lug; zinc alloy trigger; and dark stained Italian hardwood stock that holds a steel butt plate. This rifle is cosmetically faithful to the U.S. Carbine. Its only departure that is readily conspicuous is the grooved receiver that is capable of holding 3/8 base scope mounts, and that is an advantage. Overall length is 35 inches, with a 13 1/8 length of pull on the Buttstock. Weight empty is 4 pounds 8 ounces with center of gravity at the magazine. Magazines hold 10 rounds of .22 Long Rifle caliber ammunition, and each M1-22 comes with a total of two magazines. This little rifle exceeds its Erma ancestors for looks and balance, and it matches them on performance. We test fired the photo specimen, and got up to 3 consecutive shots on Remington Golden Bullet High Velocity ammunition, and up to 7 consecutive shots on Winchester Super X Copper Coated. That is on a par with the Ermas, from our poor memory. If a person wants better feeding than that, the best thing for a new owner to do, is to get a return authorization and send it to Dayton, perhaps a time or two. This is a looker, after all. If a person wants a shooter, best to stick with the most prolific product from a different factory on Sunapee Street in Newport, New Hampshire. Own the M1-22 in the photos, or one of its identical mates for only $ 289.00. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $20 flat fee lower 48 states; $60 Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, UPS Ground or USPS Priority with full insurance coverage.

Unsurprisingly, Monday's episode of Game Of Crowns dealt mostly with the aftermath of last week's drama. I suppose you can't have someone threaten someone's life without a little bit of backlash, right? The problem is, everyone is concentrating on Leha's husband's (alleged) threat against Lynne – something that decidedly did not happen. This is frustrating for me, because a death threat did occur. No one seems to care about that anymore, though? Now it's all about Lynne, her made up stories and how everyone is spreading rumors around town. Let's dig into the drama.
Who The Hell Has A Tea Salon?
The more I see of Lynne Diamante, the more I think she's the most ridiculous person on this show. She tells us in an interview that she traveled a lot with her father as a child and their great tradition was to always have high tea. To honor this tradition, she's built her own "tea salon" in her home. Of course she has. Well, let me clarify: she calls it a tea salon. In reality, it's a bunch of tables, some streamers and butterflies hung limply around the room and a few "Cinderella" accents in blue and gold. It's kind of like a really cheap looking Bat Mitzvah? I don't know. It's absurd. So, Lynne invites Susanna Paliotta and Shelley Carbone over for a tea party with their daughters. As Shelley and Lynne's girls charmingly giggle and drink juice out of tea cups, Susanna's daughter Isabella guzzles sugar and runs around the room, dancing and "just being Isabella." Oh dear. Susanna invites the ladies and their daughters to a fashion show, which Isabella will be "headlining." Can you headline a local fashion show? I don't know. Bella will also be performing her "hit" single, "LOL." The ladies all feign excitement. Once the little ones leave the room, they discuss all the drama from the Mrs. America pageant. Lynne insists that Nick threatened her life. No one calls her a liar, but Shelley says she didn't hear him say anything like that. You know, because it didn't happen. Then Susanna picks a "Made in China" sticker out of Lynne's butterfly hair piece.
The Girl Can Talk – That's All I Have To Say
Meanwhile, Leha Guilmette stops by to visit Vanassa Sebastian. Vanassa immediately offers Leha a huge plate of baked good and pastries while saying how she'd like to lose about 15 pounds herself. "You look great!" "No, you look great!" goes on for a while. Then the ladies finally get to business: Leha's husband and Lynne's allegations against him. Vanassa says that she doesn't believe Lynne's story because they spent all night talking about what Nick said to them, and her accusation never came up once. Leha is hurt, especially because Lynne's been her biggest supporter until now. Vanassa goes on to say that Susanna made another accusation as well – that Nick's anger issues carry over to their home life. In other words, Susanna suggested that Nick is physically abusive. Leha is appalled and denies any such thing. Both Leha and Vanassa agree that Susanna cannot be trusted. I like how Vanassa is leaving out the part where she called Leha a mannish 40-footer who wouldn't place in any pageant. I guess she forgot that part?
Show Me Your Sassy Face
Susanna Paliotta may be new to pageants, but Isabella is an old pro. She's ready to "headline" the very prestigious Star Gazers runway show, something no one has ever heard of, ever. After winning everything she could possibly win, Isabella has retired from the child pageant world and is ready for the next big step in her career: modeling and singing. Can you just imagine how insufferable this kid is? Good lord. Susanna tells us in an interview that she and Bella co-wrote the "hit" single "LOL." Two minds coming together, people. "LOL" is about all the haters who didn't think Isabella would make it – but look at her now! Wow. When Lynne and Shelley arrive with their daughters, you can tell immediately that Shelley is horrified by the entire thing. "What happened to piano lessons?" she wonders. You know, if she wasn't so mean and two-faced, I might like Shelley Carbone. The girls walk the runway and then Isabella – complete with magenta lipstick and a headset microphone to lip sync into – takes the stage. It's just as bad as I expected.
Baton Twirling With His Knife
Leha wants to get to the bottom off these rumors. Who is spreading what about her husband and how can she make it stop? She and Nick meet Susanna and her husband Tony for dinner, and this is where things really spiral out of control. Susanna bats those big eyes and plays innocent. She just wants to move past this! She was Leha's biggest supporter and went on and on about how stunning Leha looked at Mrs. America – ask anyone! Um, no. Leha is like, "Yeah, that's great, but you also said my husband hits me." Susanna flat out denies it. Cue edit to the scene in Arizona where Susanna says that Nick hits Leha. Thank you, editors! Unfortunately for Leha, she doesn't have the benefit of this flashback. She's starting to buy Susanna's story – especially when Susanna goes on to say that Lynne implied long ago that Nick gave Leha a black eye. Throughout this entire conversation, Nick is twirling his knife in his hand, and it's more than a little creepy. Luckily, there's no stabbing.
You Were Also Called A Dude And A Manvestite
The time has come for Leha to confront Lynne. Why did she accuse Nick of threatening her life? Why did she say that Nick gave Leha a black eye? These are the questions looming over Leha as she meets her old friend for lunch. These questions are never answered. Lynne dodges every one, giving vague responses or deflecting entirely. At one point, she even tries to turn Leha's anger toward the others. "You're forgetting that everyone called you a 40-footer," she says, like she didn't say it as well. She tells Leha, quite cruelly, that her friends also said she was like "lipstick on a pig," a dude and a manvestite. MANVESTITE. What is wrong with these women?!? That's so mean and so ignorant and so wrong on so many levels, I just…wow. WOW. I am kind of speechless, to be honest. Did the women really say that? If they did, it was edited out of the show. Either way, it's awful to hear. Poor Leha. Major props to her for not taking the bait – she doesn't let Lynne turn the tables. In fact, she's done with Lynne altogether. Lynne says she "will mourn" their friendship, but Leha seems to be more angry than sad. Good for her.

Iran merchants in Dubai eagerly await sanctions relief
Loading goods onto vessels anchored along Dubai Creek, Iranian sailors and businessmen await the long hoped-for lifting of Western sanctions against Iran to boost business between the Gulf neighbours.
Iran and world powers on Tuesday reached an accord in Vienna that would rein in its nuclear programme in exchange for an easing of the crippling sanctions against the Islamic republic.
Global oil prices plunged even as details were still emerging of the deal that would end a 13-year standoff, in the first sign of the huge economic impact of such a historic accord.
"If sanctions are lifted, our work will increase and it will become easier," said Mohammed Hasan Zara, an Iranian captain at Dubai Creek, as he packed foodstuff, cutlery, and auto and computer parts onto a wooden dhow destined for southern Iran.
Since 2006, the UN Security Council has imposed four sets of sanctions against Iran over its suspect nuclear ambitions. The United States and European Union have enacted even tougher measures that target the country's energy and banking sectors.
The sanctions have taken a heavy toll and affected historically strong trade ties with Dubai — home to a 400,000-strong Iranian community that runs a vast business network.
"We used to go twice a month to Iran and come back. Now we can't even get enough cargo to go once every month," said Zara, a trader who speaks Arabic and Farsi.
Hossein Haghighi, vice president of the Iranian Business Council in Dubai, recalls that some banks in the United Arab Emirates had closed down the accounts of Iranians in the country."If the sanctions are removed, some banks will start opening accounts for Iranians and business will improve," said Haghighi.
Emirati businessmen dealing with Iran — the UAE's fourth-largest trading partner — had also faced restrictions, he added.
UAE Economy Minister Sultan al-Mansouri said last month non-oil trade with Iran amounted to $17 billion in 2014 but remains lower than the record $23 billion in 2011 before sanctions began to bite.
– Centuries-old ties –
Dubai has long been at the forefront of trade ties with Iran.
Its ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum last year appealed for the sanctions against Iran to be lifted, complaining his emirate had suffered from the punitive measures imposed on its neighbour.
A hub for finance and transportation, Dubai is home to Jebel Ali Port, the biggest and busiest facility of its kind in the region which is expected to benefit enormously from a relaxation of the sanctions.
Haghighi said he expects trade between the UAE and Iran to surge by between 15 and 20 percent within the first year of the sanctions being lifted.
"There are more than 10,000 companies in the UAE which one way or another have Iranian ownership," he said.
Most are active in the oil, gas and food industries.
This month, Dubai's Emirates Airline announced it will launch in September a second route to Iran, with a new service to the city of Mashhad.
Trade between Iran and the UAE is centuries-old, despite a dispute over the ownership of small Gulf islands now controlled by Iran.
Following the 1979 Islamic revolution, many Iranians fled to Dubai, escaping the social restrictions enforced by Tehran's new rulers.
Opposite the concrete wharf where Iran-bound goods await collection are the offices of Bank Melli Iran and Bank Saderat Iran — two Iranian lenders that are under the sanctions.
In a nearby bustling market, where Persian is a commonly spoken language, the scents of Iranian spices fill the air.
Mohsen Yousuf, whose family settled in Dubai 70 years ago, has also been keeping a close watch on the talks in Vienna.
"If the sanctions are lifted, people will be able to come here and open businesses," says Yousuf, sitting in his shop that sells a range of Iranian goods, from tea to oil and spices like saffron.
Merchants are currently only allowed to bring in 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of spices every three months, he says.
"But, God willing, if the sanctions are lifted we can earn more… We could be allowed to bring up to 100 kilograms."

Ron Weasley may have skirted along the poverty line during childhood, but his children are going to be quite comfortable with their inheritance.
Forbes Magazine, in conjunction with Hollywood money site Box Office Mojo, has compiled a list of the top-earning on-screen couples of the past half decade. Though they were in a love-hate relationship for much of the film series, Ron and Hermoine's fateful kiss and bliss-filled epilogue in the final Potter film put them at the top of the list.
The final four Potter films, released between 2007 and 2011, took in $4.2 billion worldwide, including a staggering $1.33 billion for this summer's finale. The series' massive success helped make Watson Hollywood's highest earning actress in 2009, as she took in $30 million in advance for the final two films.
Coming in second on the list are another YA adaptation couple, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Their four "Twilight" films thus far have taken in $2.5 billion worldwide, and they have another to go this summer.
Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox came in third for their first two "Transformers" films, with $1.5 billion. Fox did not appear in the third film, which took in $1.2 billion worldwide.
Looking ahead, the three planned adaptations of "The Hunger Games" novels by Suzanne Collins -- yet another YA-based romance -- will look to crack this list over the next few years. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, it's a dystopian book with a love story between two contestants in a barbaric battle to the death.

Sumner fireworks show set for Christmas EveBy CLAY MCFERRIN,
- 1187 reads
SUMNER — Christmas Eve will be ushered in with a bang and a heavenly light show during the annual fireworks display here Sunday night, Dec. 24, beginning at 7.
The traditional Christmas Eve event will be orchestrated as usual by professional technicians from the LaFollette, Tennessee-based Pyro Shows.
The fireworks will be launched from the Cassidy Bayou bridge, and the display can be best viewed from the streets along the bayou north of the bridge, according to Mona Whitten, spokesperson for the privately-financed show, who explained that the bridge will be closed to traffic from 6:45 p.m. until the close of the event.
Whitten said safety regulations require that the public remain a designated distance from the bridge and noted that boundaries will be established for public safety.
"Everyone is asked to look for the markers and to remain outside of the marked area."

Content marketing has sort of become a big deal in the 21st century. Of course, that comes as no surprise when Google is the number one company in the world and everyone wants to show up in Google's search results.
But it's easy to forget that the second most trafficked site is Youtube. That's why business videos are becoming increasingly relevant to targeted marketing. Consumers eat up video at an alarming rate, and they're growing more gluttonous with every passing year.
So, how do you make yourself relevant in Youtube's increasingly competitive search results? You could put out more promos, product demos, and event videos. Or you could take a page out of the Youtube celebrity playbook and start vlogging.
Vlogs, or video blogs, are a totally different animal compared to traditional business videos. There's a reason vlogs are, to this day, the domain of Youtube celebrities and not corporations. They're just so different from the typical business video that many ad executives don't really believe they have any place in business. They couldn't be more wrong.
Vlogs are uniquely valuable to business for 5 big reasons:
1. Many of the most successful vloggers use prompts but don't follow scripts.
Translation: Vlogs are conversational, don't have to involve scriptwriting costs, and have a faster pre-production turnaround time.
2. Vlogging doesn't have to involve more than a speaker, a camera, and graphics.
Translation: Vlogs enjoy a lower upfront cost and faster production and post-production times.
3. You can vlog about dorky things very specific to your industry.
Translation: Since vlogs aren't well-defined in the video marketing world. Vloggers can dive into subject matter that may not make sense for promo videos or product demos.
4. Vloggers can build up dedicated social followings.
Translation: Flo is a valuable human mascot for Progressive, but she reads from a script and is obviously a corporate representative. Vloggers, on the other hand, build up trust because they're down to earth and conversational. A consistent vlogger becomes the true face of the company for viewers.
5. Vlog posts lead to more vlog posts.
Translation: A simple hook at the end of a vlog will lead viewers to the next post. It's such a simple thing, yet it puts vlogs leaps and bounds ahead of promotional videos because of the incredible potential for social sharing, conversion, and ad placement.
Unfortunately, businesses large and small still aren't thinking about vlogs. In fact, if you google "business vlogs", the relevant search results are surprisingly sparse.
But vlogs make total sense for marketing. They're the blogs of the video world, and video marketing has already overtaken content marketing when it comes to dominance of the online content pie. So, if you have a blog, why are you not vlogging? Cisco certainly thinks you should be, and so do we.

The shoulder is one of the most complex and unstable body joints, and it can get injured easily. Several shoulder surgeries have been developed to fix muscles, damaged joints, and connective tissue after an injury on the shoulder. Patients who undergo a total shoulder replacement surgery should wear a sling for about four weeks. Besides, they should attend physical therapy sessions.
Most patients take a month after the recovery to go back to mobility. However, it is unfortunate that most patients are not aware of the lifestyle changes they should adapt to before entering the operation room. Here are some safety modifications you need to make to your routine and home to ensure a smooth recovery and rehabilitation process.
Preparing your home
You need to change certain things in your home to make your recovery process easy and quick. If you don't have someone to help you around the house, consider stocking up your house with ready-to-eat foods such as nuts, salad greens, and bread. Besides, you need to practice brushing your teeth and bathing with your uninjured arm. You can buy an electric toothbrush. Make sure you avoid bending and straining since they delay recovery.
Post-surgery care
You might experience pain and discomfort when sitting or sleeping even if the sling offers support after the surgery. You can try using a chair or reclining sofa if you have pains when sleeping. Besides, you can rest your arm on a pillow or cushion while eating. You need to change your dressing as instructed by your doctor until a week after the surgery when stitches are removed. You should avoid long showers or drench the wound in a bath, and remember to dry up the area after taking a bath. Most importantly, follow the care … Read More ...

The benefit of an indoor playground is that it is not weather dependent, allowing children a safe space to play rain or shine. They allow children to use their imagination by creating a themed playground area that will challenge and excite. By utilising a theme such as pirate ships, castles, jungles or animals you portray a mood to the play area and its surroundings and boost the popularity of the play area. Children are encouraged to role play and thus increase their imagination, creativity, verbal skills and interactions.
Nambour Hospital Paediatric Ward has an amazon themed playground with a train that offers a different activity in each carriage and fibre glass animals to bring it to life. A brightly coloured wall artistically painted in the jungle theme adds to the overall theme and immerses the children in the experience of 'being in the jungle'. This is a great example of using a theme to make a play area stand out from the rest.
If you have an indoor area you would like to turn into an indoor playground contact us today to discuss your options.

K-1 The Arena FightersT-HQ tries to bring kickboxing to the PlayStation
Publisher: T*HQ
Developer: Xing
Genre: Fighting
There was a cool mid-80s movie called Gymkata, where this guy combined gymnastics and martial arts and kicked a lot of butt. It was typical of bad '80s American kung fu movies, like American Ninja 3 (featuring Lucinda Dickey of Breakin' fame), and didn't really do anything to further the genre made famous by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. What does all this have to do with K-1 The Arena Fighters? Nothing really, we just wanted to bring up some bad old movies.
K-1 The Arena Fighters, a polygonal fighter from T-HQ, attempts to take the international sport of kickboxing and transfer it into 3D polygons. Developer X-ing has chosen to go for an almost sim-like treatment of the sport, dispensing with crazy fireballs and combos for good, old fashioned punching and kicking.
This is all well and good, but the game fails miserably. Each fighter has two meters, one for strength and one for stamina. The more your punch and kick, the less strong your blows are. You're forced to time your attacks so as to get the most out of them. OK, we respect X-ing for trying something different, but it just isn't any fun holding back.
Stick with Street Fighter and Tekken. If you really want to experience kickboxing, go take some lessons.

Flycamping is a wonderful surpise, best left unexplained. If you ask us it's simple, you have to try it.
Walking in the Selous has more to do with state of mind than the state of your body. It's about an approach to game viewing - a receptiveness that's just hard to get in a vehicle - rather than a question of fitness.
Since Richard Bonham first came this way on his walking safaris in the 80's, to us the Selous has always been synonymous with being on foot. But it's never about distance, or "hiking." Time on foot is an opportunity to engage your senses and this is something you'll quickly pick up on as we leave camp - accompanied by an armed ranger - in the cool of the early morning or late afternoon.
The best walks are those where you travel at a gentle pace and probably don't cover much distance - a few kilometres in an hour - stopping often to listen and look.
Learning even a few of the myriad bird calls can be deeply satisfying, finding and identifying fresh tracks brings with it a sense of expectation and suspense. Nowhere is it truer that to travel is as rewarding as to arrive.
And when you do arrive in the softening evening light, there can be few things as exciting and plain different from every day "modern life" as our flycamp.
This is a peculiarly East African passion and the way things were done in the old days; with the minimum of fuss, but not scrimping on any of the comforts. As is so often the way, when you limit the frills, it allows you to really see what's special and what's going on around you.
Watching elephant as they pass by your camp in the moonlight, silent feet in the warm sand, or simply gazing through the mosquito net roof of your tent from the comfort of your bedroll.
We've been doing this now for close to 20 years. People's reactions vary, some find it quite emotional, others feel a child-like sense of freedom and release (one man ran round in small circles crying like a 5 year old) and of course quite a few admit to feeling a little scared.
But it's simply no exaggeration to say that in all those years, virtually nobody regrets trying this most special of experiences.

My Shy Boss Episodes 1 & 2 Recap: When You Can't See the Forest for the Trees
Can anyone out there identify with being shy? When does being shy become a paralyzing affliction? For Eun Hwan Ki, that shyness has grown to the point that it prevents him from noticing what's really going on and doing the right thing at the right time. Come join Wendilynn, Janet, and me, Cici, as we discuss the introductory episodes of My Shy Boss.
My Shy Boss
Starring Yeon Woo Jin and Park Hye SooAdd to Queue Remove from Queue Watch Now
Wendilynn: I have to admit, this show was not what I was expecting. I was sort of just expecting this to be a fluff drama, but that suicide at the beginning threw me off.
Janet: Me too, especially when it wasn't explained.
Cici: Well, it certainly grabbed my attention, but I immediately wondered what I'd gotten myself in for. I thought I knew the basic premise of the story, but I wasn't prepared for something this heavy. I'm grateful that the first two episodes did a pretty good job of clearing up the back story and introducing the characters, though.
Wendilynn: When Ro Woon gets into Hwan Ki's apartment and starts going through it, I could NOT believe it. I was like, what's wrong with her? Fortunately they do explain her very bizarre behavior. However, who pulls on a person to see their face? Even if you think they are a murdering psychopath? I had a serious problem with her doing that. Especially as she couldn't seem to tell that her CEO and Delivery Boy were wearing the same freaking outfit. HELLO?!! She only pulled on it several times. Lol
Janet: I felt I missed a lot of episode one trying to figure out everyone's relationship. Especially trying to figure out how the suicide fell into the scheme of things. Episode 2 did explain, but I didn't like having to wait for it.
Cici: I agree. Looking back, there were clues, like the psychiatrist and Hwang Ki's parents referring to "the incident that happened three years ago"
But it wasn't spelled out what that incident was till episode two. So I'm wondering, has Hwan Ki realized that the girl who committed suicide was Ro Woon's sister? Is that why he's been sending her flowers and trying to take care of her? Was he the one who hired her to work at his company, and if so, why was he surprised that she quit performing?
Wendilynn: I think he knows the girl performer is a sister of the girl who committed suicide, and I think following up on the flowers thing brought her to his notice. But he doesn't seem to have really connected the dots that she's also the very nosy employee. Maybe. They made that comment during the new employee dinner that she got a special pass into the company for being a performer. So I'm not sure what they are telling us. What I was able to figure out is that whatever happened to force big sister to jump involved our potential bad guy President Kang Woo Il. He may be the face of the company, and he clearly wants what Hwan Ki doesn't, but I'm not sure if I can call him dastardly yet.
Janet: I think I can. He clearly had a hand in the suicide is the vibe I got. And he takes every chance to reinforce Hwan Ki's complex. He just isn't my idea of a helpful friend.
Cici: I was suspicious, but I wasn't really sure till he kept Hwan Ki from facing the reporters and brought in the secretary. The way she got dragged in, then read from a prepared script, made it /look/ like she was lying, even when she told the truth. And the way Woo Il talked Hwan Ki into stepping down and letting him take over his CEO position was pretty evil. He admits to being poor, "without hope of inheriting anything," but he sure knows how to manipulate both Hwan Ki and his father. And when he mentioned how Hwan Ki kept his secret three years ago, I was pretty sure at that point that he had everything to do with sister's suicide.
Wendilynn: I also hadn't been thinking he was potentially trying to take the company until that conversation they had. But we also know that Hwan Ki doesn't want the company either, so is it really stealing? And his Dad was involved in the press conference stuff, so is he really a bad guy? I"m thinking he is, but I'm willing to be wrong. I'm just amused that Ro Woon thinks Hwan Ki's a murdering psychopath. That whole radish kimchi segment was really funny. Not funny for the poor secretary, but funny that they played with the murdering boss angle for a moment.
Janet. I have a problem with Hwan Ki's "affliction" for lack of a better word. For someone so afraid of being looked at, he seems to be in public an awful lot without having issues. Buying flowers, delivering them backstage, sitting in the audience. It just wasn't all that believable to me.
Cici: I think he acknowledges that he has a problem, but he's trying really hard to overcome it. He's working with a psychologist, who encourages him to make contact with the girl he admires and tell her he's her fan. I'm an introvert, so I know how hard it can be to put yourself out there. But he really has it bad.
Cici: I have to kind of admire him for the little attempts he's made to get out of his room, even though they usually end badly. When he went and took flowers to the secretary in the hospital, that was huge. But he still really relies on both the hat and hood to keep his identity a secret and avoid eye contact.
Wendilynn: I also bought the extreme anxiety. He was clearly in therapy mode trying to overcome it. He kept mentioning that he didn't want to cause the same problem to his current secretary that he caused to older sister, making her vulnerable to whatever caused her to jump. He clearly sees himself partly responsible. Which is why he made the current secretary lunch and then chickened out. What I don't understand is why Ro Woon can't tell that the same outfit she's been chasing is the same guy in delivery mode. He's wearing the same darn thing. All. The. Time! Lol
Janet. Just trying to organize some thoughts.. Like why drag the doctor to the park to talk behind walls, why not sit in the office to talk? He seems okay talking to Woo II. And when did all this start? Would his father have given him the company if he was that unfit?
Cici: Oooo, don't get me started on the father. That is one mean SOB. I don't think Hwan Ki's problem just started when big sis committed suicide, because he had trouble talking to her before that. So I have to assume that he's been bullied by his dad most of his life. Giving him the company would be his father's way of forcing him to "man up", but there's no way he's ever been able to live up to his father's expectations. He acts like a dog who's been beaten. That's affected every relationship he's had, with the possible exception of Woo Il. He can't look anyone in the eye, and tries to make himself invisible even when he has to go out. But Wendilynn, I'm with you. How can Ro Woon /not/ recognize him and make the connection? She saw /a lot/ of him in that penthouse, lol.
Wendilynn: Yeah she did. *chuckles* That dad was something else. After the tennis abuse and the spa scene, Hwan Ki's social problems made perfect sense to me. Woo Il is a trusted companion he's probably known since they were kids so he's a comfort. We may be suspicious but that Hwan Ki can talk to him face to face says a lot about how trusted that relationship has been. A trust that doesn't extend to the girl trying to ruin him. She's so convinced that he's a selfish chaebol heir that she's got total blinders on. That's probably why she can't recognize him when he's in his black clothing because she is just not expecting a rich snob to dress like an everyday person. There is quite a lot of prejudice on display among the employees about him. That Ro Woon thinks she can be judge and jury in her anger and carelessly destroy lives in her blindness needs to change soon or I"m not going to like her much.
Janet. I don't feel that the employees are prejudiced against Hwan Ki as much as ignorant. When you don't know, you tend to fill in the blanks and make up stories.
Cici: I think Woo Il is behind a lot of the misconceptions that have been started among the employees. He's a sneaky one. He takes great care to set up situations like employee dinners and parties that he /knows/ Hwan Ki would have great difficulty attending, but when the employees complain about his absence, he tells them that's his friend they're talking about, and to stop. All that just increases his own image while further fostering the misconceptions about Hwan Ki. Wendilynn, I'm not as generous as you. I think he's a really bad guy.
So, I'll stop bashing Woo Il long enough to mention my appreciation for the shower scene in the first episode.
And was anyone else surprised by Kim Junsu's cameo? Hooray for cameos!!
But after that, I was almost convinced that the psychiatrist was being played by Joan Cusack!
Wendilynn: That shower scene was nice. Yeon Woo Jin is a very handsome man. I actually got the Joan Cusack vibe not only from the Therapist but also that crazy older lady employee. The one who did the death attack for the newbies if they went up to the penthouse. Lol
Janet. Yes to the shower scene. Don't know how his dad could say he was soft because he didn't play outdoor sports.
Cici: Nope, that body didn't look soft to me. So let's hope he can toughen up emotionally and overcome his problems like the hero we want him to be.

Old Court House
Thomas Pool, who acquired Jack Straw's Castle in 1774, built two brick houses in 1788, which c. 1820 were converted into one house south of the inn, called successively Heath View, Earlsmead, and Old Court House.
The advertisement for Old Court House in 1839, a detached residence with extensive views, suitable for a 'family of respectability', could have applied to any of the houses along North End Way.
The Old Court House was used as an estate office during the 1850s and 1860s although there is no evidence that courts were held there.
The other houses continued as substantial family homes
The Old Court House survived, a square building with a central portico and wings, dating from the early 18th century.
It was refaced later in the century; it was converted to old people's flats in the 1960s.

The BioPhorum Operations Group's (BPOG) Best Practices Guideline for Mitigating Risk from Leachables in Polymeric Single-Use Components Used in Biomanufacturing will be presented at BioProduction, Dublin in October 2016. This leachables guidance builds upon the success of the BPOG Extractables Protocol to form a completed picture of the impact of using Single Use Systems (SUSs) for the biopharmaceutical industry.
There is a regulatory requirement to demonstrate that product contact surfaces of manufacturing equipment is not reactive, additive or absorptive in a manner that impacts the safety, identity strength, quality or purity of drugs manufactured. The BPOG approach is the result of an extensive industry-wide collaborative effort of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from nineteen BPOG member companies. The purpose of the guideline is to present a:
- Practical and adaptable approach for assessing SUS for the risks they present to biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes,
- Method for designing studies to assess polymeric SUS components, using appropriate analytical methodologies for detection of potential leachable compounds,
- Robust methodology and that has the flexibility to be adapted appropriately to individual biopharmaceutical company's needs.
A risk based approach is presented that assesses each component based on five key weighted factors:
- Distance Along the Production Stream (DAS),
- Exposure Temperature (ET),
- Exposure Duration (ED),
- Process-Fluid Interaction (PFI) &
- Dilution Ratio (DR).
Based on the total of these weighted factors the leachables risk is identified a low, medium or high and suggested requirements are presented for each risk grouping.
The suggested leachables study methodologies are identified in the guide along with the concomitant analytical methodology and a standardized reporting structure.
The BPOG Best Practices for Mitigating Leachables Risk from Polymeric Single Use Systems Used in Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing will be published in full on the BPOG website (http://www.biophorum.com/), and will be freely available to all users, by end of January 2017.

Senator Marco Rubio (R) says he is inching closer to announcing whether or not he will run for President of the United States in 2016.
Rubio told NPR that he does not have a definitive announcement "time frame in mind," but he did say that he will announce his intentions "soon."
Rubio acknowledged that he and his mentor, Jeb Bush, who has already announced he is pondering a run himself, have the same base of support.
This could be a problem for Rubio, as much of the early establishment money is expected to go to Bush if both men decide to run for president.
The bigger problem that both men will have with the conservative electorate is that they both seem to support amnesty for illegal aliens, or immigrants.
Rubio has back-peddled on immigration reform, first running as a hawk on the issue, then shooting himself in the foot for co-sponsoring the Senate's "Gang of Ocho" amnesty-light bill, and now supporting a "piecemeal" approach to immigration reform. Jeb Bush, on the other hand, has held a steady hand in support of amnesty for illegal immigration.
But still, what is Rubio waiting on? His new book? His wife to give him the green light to run? Regardless, all of these smoke-and-mirrors, press-grabbing media games are getting old.
To quote those Rhodes scholars on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown show, "C'mon, man!"

Rangers in the shite exchanging asssets
Wond'ring if Craig Whyte
Has shit his pants yet, he needs to hold tight
Before he follows through.
Something in your Ibrox chairman's meeting,
Something in your smile said you were cheating,
Something in your heart,
Turned your nose royal blue.
Rangers in the
shite, to other people
They were bound to lose the fight
Up to the moment
When Craig said his first hello.
Little did we know
Death was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night they've been together.
Losers at first sight, and lost forever.
It turned out a fright,
For Rangers in the shite.
