The destination of opulent holidays and important business meets, the city on every luxury lover's bucket list, and the place known the world over for its rich buildings, Dubai does have a collection of budget hotels, too. The exotic city is no longer a holiday destination for just the well-heeled and the affluent, but also for those of us who'd like to keep an eye on our expenditure.
Dubai Marina
The new budget hotels in Dubai popping up throughout the city are so well-designed, keeping in mind even the slightest whims of guests, that they could well provide competition for the high-end, luxurious ones. Pampering visitors with treatments, these economical hotels in Dubai spoil a guest endlessly throughout his/her stay.
Most of these cheap Dubai hotels are anything but inexpensive when it comes to the taste, design, and areas they're situated in, and each one is a true definition of comfort. In Dubai, such are pricewise relatively cheap but truly are in the lap of luxury. Our DAMAC Maison De Ville Breeze (formerly the NAIA Breeze) is one such winner, situated in the elegant area of Business Bay with a beautiful view of the Dubai Canal on one side and the Burj Khalifa on the other. The guests in Damac Maison De Ville Breeze are offered alternative style of service. One that goes beyond what the guests expect within the four walls of their fun and trendy hotel. When you check into Damac Maison De Ville Breeze, you check into the city.
DAMAC Maison De Ville Breeze Hotel, Business Bay Dubai
The hotels' staff are praised by frequent tourists to be some of the warmest, and the hotels themselves are regarded to be some of the finest the world over. Delectable food from the multiple restaurants and cafés of these conveniently reasonable hotels in Dubai is the cherry on the top of a delightful holiday. Ghinwa, De Ville Breeze's tasteful café, for instance, has an irresistible menu while the hotel's open-air restaurant is situated by the inviting pool, treating the diners to a relaxed meal.
Glorious vacations are spent with the guests' days spent in the pool on pleasant afternoons, in the sauna after a fulfilling session at the gym, enjoying a day-in with the family in their spacious suite, and shopping in the many malls as they leave their children safely in the kids' room in this budget hotel. Dubai makes sure to tempt every visitor to another trip soon on a shoestring expense!

Scientists have identified a combination of bacteria that appears to increase the risk of colon cancer.
Through a series of experiments in mice, they were able to pinpoint ways in which the two species of bacteria promote inflammation and break down the mucus layer of the colon.
Christine M. Dejea and colleagues began by analysing tissue samples from patients with a genetic condition associated with increased risk of developing precancerous polyps in the colon, called familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
Unlike samples from patients with sporadic polyps, FAP samples contained patches of bacteria in which Escherichia Coli and Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) were particularly prevalent, a result confirmed through a bigger dataset of samples from FAP patients.
Intriguingly, E.coli and ETBF express genes associated with increased DNA damage and tumourigenesis, respectively.
When the researchers implanted these bacteria from FAP patients into mice, they found that mice with only one species developed few tumours, whereas mice that were colonised with both bacterial species were substantially more prone to invasive cancer and death.
Through a series of experiments, Dejea et al. found that ETBF alters the microenvironment of the gut by depleting mucus and inducing an inflammatory response, which helps E.coli colonise the gut as well.
Based on these results, the authors suggest that eliminating these bacteria from the mucus lining of FAP patients early in life may be beneficial.

For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.
These words were glaring... at me as I stood in line with my three children, preparing to ride Expedition Everest on a recent trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom. I'd boarded this same roller coaster over a decade ago, back in the day when I didn't meet so much of the safety criteria.
High blood pressure? Yes.
Back or neck problems? Definitely.
Motion sickness? Sometimes.
Other conditions? Too many to count.
Expectant mother? No.
I sat with the reality that the only reason I should board this roller coaster was not being pregnant. I contemplated wishing my children well, backing out of line and finding myself a comfortable bench near the exit where I could sit with the other middle-aged parents waiting to greet their respective little ones.
Unfortunately, I know this type of uncertain moment in parenting all too well. A moment of feeling ill-equipped, overwhelmed or unprepared for the task. Driving my adolescent daughter to her first school dance felt every bit as terrifying to me as boarding this roller coaster. In fact, I'm certain my blood pressure would have registered higher in that moment than it did being thrust 50 miles an hour down the side of Everest. I'm certain I felt some motion sickness watching her walk from the car toward the front doors where I could see adolescent boys standing in a pack.
Talking with my sons as they wait to hear whether they made a team or got cut can give me back or neck pain. Looking them in the eyes and knowing it's another moment in the life of a boy where you taste success or defeat. Sometimes all I know to do in those uncertain moments is just show up, reflect on the truth of Romans 5:1-5, and pray to know when is the right time to speak and a time to just listen.

And you are bolder than buzzing bugs
"new york, in the summer, it's a motherfucker"
-julian schnabel in jean-michel basquiat: the radiant child
a must see, now playing at film forum
a fabric scrap and photos Andrew and I took from a quick trip upstate.
was really missing being up there in the woods, especially with all of this heavy city heat.
it's truly the best place to just hang in denim cutoffs, drink homemade iced tea on a porch
and not care about anything else.
the forest fresh with that perfect after rain smell,
there was an afternoon rainstorm that vanished quickly and left the air cool.
so i took my new striped isabel marant sweater out for a stroll.
after seeing the isabel marant ad campaign,
i feel lucky to have nabbed the last short sleeve version in the shop.
now hurry up Fall!

Gallery - GCreation GDW-01 Ultra Maxmas
I can't really say I enjoyed my time with this piece. If you like the early IDW style aesthetics of the bot mode it can be pretty fun but I found it to be a mixed bag when it came to quality and joint tolerances. The transformation is long and arduous but not particularly difficult if you have a video to follow along with. I don't tend to review pieces like this when I don't feel the piece is up to my personal tastes, but also I feel like a review might be unfair as it would be based on my experience with the figure more so than the merits of the figure on it's own. To be clear I don't think this is a bad figure, the materials are high quality and it does a lot of interesting things, has a ton of articulation, it just isn't to my liking. My best suggestion on this piece is to try and get some hands on time with it if you can. I want to give a big thanks to my friend Bryan L. for letting me check out his copy of GCreation Ultra Maxmas. Check out some of the photos below and let me know what you think!


text: Tala, 13, joined her school halfway through Year 7. While everyone else had already settled in, she didn't know anyone. Originally from Syria, she didn't speak much English. This made her feel shy, and she struggled to make new friends. Although she initially struggled with her schoolwork, she loved PE lessons. As soon as she found out about the afterschool sports clubs, she decided to give them a go. She would turn up at the changing rooms, not knowing which club was on, but happy to give it a go… even if she wasn't quite ready to chat to the others! Over time, not only did she make new friends through sport, but speaking up at clubs helped her to find her voice in class. She now excels in all her lessons, and her English skills are improving day on day. She has gone from being one of the quietest girls in her year group to someone with confidence taking on leadership roles such as form representative. Since she became involved with sport, she has made rapid progress in the classroom. While Tala has tried everything, football is one of her favourites, which she says is not just for boys!

UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has admitted to violating anti-money laundering rules enacted two years ago by his own Conservative Party government. Hunt claims the violation was an accidental administrative error.
"Honest Mistake" says Jeremy Hunt
In a story first broken by the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, Hunt has admitted to not properly disclosing his 50% interest in a company which owns seven luxury apartments.
This was a breach of a 2016 amendment to the Companies Act, which requires all persons with a 25% or greater controlling interest in a company to register with Companies House as "a person with significant control." By forcing anyone with even indirect control of a company to appear on a public register, the act is aimed at preventing money laundering.
When the registration for Mare Pond Properties Ltd was made in September 2017, only Hunt's wife, Lucia Guo, was named.
According to the Telegraph report, Hunt also failed to inform the parliamentary register of members' interests within the 28-day time limit.
Jeremy Hunt, who has an estimated net worth of £14 million, has appologized for his "errors." A spokesperson for Hunt said:
"These were honest administrative mistakes which have already been rectified. Jeremy's accountant made an error in the Companies House filing which was a genuine oversight. With respect to ministerial and parliamentary declarations, the Cabinet Office are clear that there has been no breach of the ministerial code.
"…Although there was no personal gain involved, Jeremy accepts these mistakes are his responsibility and has apologised to the parliamentary authorities."
Theresa May is happy to look the other way concerning her fellow Cabinet member. A Downing Street spokesperson said, "Jeremy has rightly apologised for an administrative oversight, and as the Cabinet Office have made clear there has been no breach of the ministerial code. We consider the matter closed."
Labour refer Hunt to watchdog
The much-beleaguered Labour Party are unsurprisingly keen to a Conservative misstep in the headlines, especially as it might distract from one of the many scandals emanating from their own ranks.
Shadow Cabinet Office Secretary Jon Trickett has referred Jeremy Hunt to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.
"This is simply unacceptable and especially so given the secretary of state's position at the heart of Theresa May's government," Trickett said.
"Labour will today refer Jeremy Hunt to the standards commissioner to look into this serious breach. He should have had the decency to refer himself rather than sweep this under the carpet."
Early indications are that Hunt will be given at most a slap on the wrist, at least as far as the breach of regulations concerning Companies House.
"Companies House have said their 'primary aim is to seek compliance,'" says BBC political reporter Jessica Parker, "suggesting that they are taking a relatively gentle approach in dealing with such oversights which, I'm told, are not uncommon."

Mad Props
Naturally, we didn't need to get THIS prop. (Which I'm positive is fully functional and fully awesome.)
One thing that a lot of actors fear is being typecast – that is, playing a particular character or role so many times that they become so identified with that role that those are the only parts that they ever get offered. Typecasting is why John Wayne was always a cowboy, why Jason Statham is always an angry guy driving a car, and why Leonard Nimoy is the saddest rich person on Earth.
What I discovered in the past few days, though, is that low level production assistants can get typecast as well. Last month I worked for nine days as an art department production assistant for the Call of Duty convention – a job consisting largely of manual labor and the use of power tools, tasks I was ill-qualified for, to say the least.
Regardless, I did the work, picked up a couple of skills, met a lot of really friendly gay dudes, and then deposited a large paycheck that essentially bought me three more months in Los Angeles (or 56 handles of Jack Daniel's – I tend to measure wealth in how much whiskey it could bring me at any given time.)
Art department PA work isn't really the sort of work I want to be doing – it doesn't offer me a lot of connections in the writing department, and sweating all day doing backbreaking labor so I can take home a paycheck to provide for myself is a little too Bruce Springsteeny for the life I ideally want to live. I'd much rather be working as a pre-production PA, because it's an office job that would put me in contact with writers, directors, and producers, or as a general production PA, because that job is mostly guarding the craft table and bossing extras around, and I'll never pass up the opportunity to talk down to actors.
On Wednesday, though, I was at my internship when I got a call from a production manager I'd submitted my resume to for an upcoming commercial shoot – the art department needed another PA, and since my resume indicated that I had art department experience, she wanted me for the job.
Naturally, I took the job in a heartbeat, because money is money, but as I drove to the production office I realized that now I would have two art department PA jobs on my resume, which would only build my reputation as an art department PA until those were the only jobs I was getting offered, in spite of no real skill or inclination towards that field. Moving heavy props around would be my Star Trek.
Part of my job on this shoot was helping the art director secure props for the commercial – among them four surf boards, six incredibly heavy oil drums, and some retro looking chrome stools, along with a box of tiny perfume bottles. To carry all these props, they had me to go a nearby rental car company to pick up a cargo van.
Interestingly enough, it came with a bag of free candy!
The white, windowless monstrosity they gave me at the rental lot was the sort of vehicle you'd see parked under a barren tree near the Interstate somewhere on the outskirts of St. Louis. People might label it a pedophile van, but I think that's narrow minded – there was enough room for easily five homeless dudes to smoke crack in there.
However well suited it might have been for child molestation or drugs, the van was shit for driving. It had more blind spots than Stevie Wonder and equally good shocks, which made for a nerve wracking and bumpy ride to the prop warehouse at Universal Studios, where the art director and I went about collecting the necessary props for the shoot.
On the productions I worked on in Eugene, we usually got our props from Goodwill, or any other musty smelling thrift store filled with weird, grimy 80s crap that nobody wanted anymore. Going to the multi-story Universal prop warehouse, the largest in the industry, I was expecting a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style stroll through movie memorabilia, like giant Styrofoam boulders and the fake glass bottles you can break on peoples' heads without hurting them.
As it turns out, the Universal prop warehouse is essentially a five story Goodwill that just happens to be on the lot of a major motion picture studio – everything is equally grimy and musty and has the feeling of being something that was donated because a small child vomited on it at some point. There's shelves upon shelves of board games in crusty, deteriorating boxes, garish plastic faux-crystal glasses from the 1970s, dilapidated printers from every era… As I wandered around the warehouse, grabbing the items the art director told me to grab, I wondered if any of the props I was so carefully avoiding contact with had been in the background of any of my favorite movies.
The prop warehouse is like a video store, in that you browse through it, make your selections, and then take them to the front desk to rent them out for a specific period of time.* The front desk was staffed by a profoundly grumpy minimum wage earner who had absolutely no patience or sympathy for the fact that I had no previous experience with the checkout system and thus was making mistakes on the paperwork I had to fill out.
*Unlike a video store, it still exists.
"Wait," I said, at one point. "I need to sign every page, or just initial everything after the first page?"
He sighed heavily. "You initial. And hurry up – it's after 5:00, so you're wasting my time now."
I wanted to put the pen down and give him some tough love.
"Look here, fuckstick.," I would've said. "I've been on your side of the checkout desk. I know how much it sucks back there. I know that being a dick to renters is about the only perk to your job. But you've got to draw some battle lines for that shit, and right now I haven't crossed any of them. I'm not some PR major trying to scam restricted equipment off you. I didn't come in here reeking of American Spirits and B.O. And I sure as shit didn't start out conversation off with, 'Is this the prop warehouse?' So until I do any of those things, I recommend you treat me just like I used to treat any given one of my old customers: Only subtle disdain and sarcasm until they cross the line. Go ahead and make a Facebook update about me. I want to see your weenie ass try some shit.
Of course, as I well knew, the person checking out items holds all the power in these situations – if I'm a dick to him, he has every right to just not give me the stuff I need. If he's a dick to me, I have to either put up with it or go to the other Universal Studios prop warehouse. (There isn't one.)
So I navigated the troll's maze of bureaucracy and wheeled my rented props out to the pedophile van. Step one of my job – get the props – was complete. Step two – move those props around for arbitrary reasons – lay ahead.
Truman Capps will cover step two in part two, in case you didn't catch that.

Veterinarian Dr. Dimitris Vassalakis visited Amorgos and worked at AZI's Center this past weekend.
He examined all the cats and dogs that are under AZI's care as well as animals that were brought by neighbors and other members of the community.
These vet visits are a vital and major part of AZI's mission to provide healthcare to the animals on Amorgos, as there is no permanent veterinarian on the island.

Hello everyone,
I want to ask you about communicating Apps with frontend (javascript). I want to write an App which will store some extra informations about added products. When i will save this extra informations to each product in App i want to get this extra informations on product page (in javascript code) and render product which look depends on this extra informations. Is it possible to do that? I don't know how to communicate App with frontend and how to get some extra data from APP database that are not saved in Shopify Admin Panel.
Best Regards!
You are missing a really cool and easy option. Forget front-end Javascript as being overkill, uneeded, and perhaps problematic. Instead, store your extra information as JSON in a Metafield Resource. You can attach as many of these resources to a Product as you need. Then, with simple Shopify Liquid in your templates, you can detect the presence of this extra information and render it. Problem solved. Zero front-end coding needed.
If you are really set on front-end coding in Javascript, you can also solve the problem that way. Use JS to make an Ajax call to your App endpoint specific to receiving a product ID. So when viewing a product, make a call. The callback will return to you the same JSON as you might have stored in a Metafield Resource. Render the JSON as you wish or need, and you're done. The catch is that you have to setup an App Proxy in your App. And note that your shop will likely exhibit that "flash of delight" while waiting for your Ajax call to complete.
So there you go. Two ways to skin the cat. Have fun.
Thank you for your response.
It's sounds good when i am reading about Metafield Resources. I am trying to POST a test metafield to product, so i make a call with url like this: https://{shop_name}.myshopify.com/admin/products/#1732842123679/metafields.json
Result of this request is redirect to login page. Could you tell me what it's going on? I have an Authorization token, which is combination of [apiKey:accessToken] -> Get bytes of this string -> convert to base 64.
Is there any other token, which i need to provide with POST request?
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards.
Okay, so i deleted the hash symbol from my product ID and now the response code is 301 with message - {"errors":"For security reasons, requests using HTTP Basic Authentication cannot include cookies."}. So i delete all cookies (one by one testing is it works). Without any cookies i am getting HTTP 400 (bad request). I have an acces to read and write products so i think that it is not the point.
Could you tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards!

A mind blowing tour of HudsonAlpha Friday
A mind blowing tour of HudsonAlpha Friday
Linda and I were treated to a mind bloging tour of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville Friday. I knew almost nothing about the institute other than lots of very smart folks doing really good work in a really beautiful modern buildings "over there". Well, I was right I guess, but my understanding needed only to be magnified/multiplied significantly.
Holly Ralston, HudsonAlpha's Communications Director tried her best to explain what the heck's going on over there. Here's a summary:
1) Beautiful modern, architecture quite conducive to creative "thinking" and "doing"
2) It's full of folks doing amazing work. I understand almost nothing about it. But I heard words like genomes, aneuploidy, dna - ok, that's about all I retained here. And that's because of;
3) The amazing good these guys are doing. They are doing research to - well - make the world a better place. Cancer research, alternate fuel research! Wow. I really had no idea this was going on right down the road in Linda's hometown of

30 October 2018, 17:00-18:00, room STRAUSS 3
This session will present different funding sources (public, private, regional, EU) and their synergies. Citizens expect more and more to set ethics into public funding, for instance using public money for ethical projects, levy funding for societal needs, and involve citizens directly or indirectly in the control of funding programs. Synergies based on the larger use of crowdfunding and matching the requirements of ethical funding may lead to a potential new approach towards industrial innovation better answering societal priorities.

Ross Clinical Research
Dr. Judith Ross is a physician scientist in the Department of Pediatrics and is board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Endocrinology. Her lab has focused on neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with X and Y chromosome disorders (XYY syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome), with over 25 years of NIH-funded pediatric clinical research. Results of this research has elucidated neurophysiological, pathological, and molecular genotype-phenotype relationships, and the role of selected X and Y genes in children in health and disease. The current focus in her lab involves defining genetic etiologies of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and establishing clinical-pathophysiological mechanisms in ASD. A known, genetic risk factor for ASD is the male sex chromosome disorder, 47,XYY syndrome (XYY, 1/1000 males), and their increased autism risk suggests the involvement of sex-linked genes in autism (Y chromosome genes related to brain development and function, thereby increasing ASD risk). Current clinical research in Dr. Ross' lab takes advantage of the detailed ASD characterization of clinical ASD populations, extensive genetic analyses of a Y chromosome synaptic protein NLGN4Y (with Merry and Dalva labs), innovative neuroimaging expertise (CHOP collaboration), multi-modal data collection, and sophisticated analysis. This translational research will result in new bidirectional insights ("bench to bedside") and will advance our understanding of sex differences, ASD neurobiological mechanisms, relevant biomarkers, and future disease-specific treatments.
- Y chromosome effects on brain and behavior. Understanding the differentiation of human brain and behavior is relevant to understanding disorders that differ in males versus females.
- XYY syndrome is an informative genetic model of Y chromosome gene determinants in male predominant disorders such as ASD and may be related to the male predominance of ASD.
- The Y chromosome gene, neuroligin 4Y (NLGN4Y), encodes a synaptic cell adhesion molecule. NLGN4Y expression is increased in XYY, which may provide biomarker for ASD behavioral features.
- Neuroimaging approaches suggest that brain regions critical to social cognition are anatomically and functionally altered in boys with XYY, similar to findings in idiopathic autism (Dr. Roberts, CHOP) and may provide biomarkers for ASD behavioral features.

My first London open studios was a couple of weeks back, so just went through the old routine of clearing away all the studio crap, painting the walls white, hiding the valuables and waiting for the influx of weirdos to begin. Despite its oddness, its allways rewarding in a funny way and this year was no exception.
Unlike other Open Studios I've done, for this one we had an Opening night, which was spectacular.It was a fantastic evening and I finally got a chance to meet the other 70 odd artist who lurk about somewhere in the maze of closed studios. As per the usual it ended in the pub, this time with a funny mix of karaoke and art analysis to help the beer go down. For some reason the pub didn't really shut, (in retrospect I think it might have been a lock-in type scenario but no-one seemed to notice at the time) which slightly elongated the night and the walk home was accompanied by bird song.
The success of the first night made Saturday a bit uncomfortable- a fact definitely amplified by the formidable sun that weekend, which turned my well-lit attic space into a green-house. It was busy downstairs, but not many people got past the wall of heat that lingered around the top of the stairs to greet them into my space. That being said, I still managed to meet lots of cool people and got some interest for future projects and sales which is always a bonus. By Sunday I had pretty much had enough of sitting in an unventilated glasshouse and ended up abandoning ship early to paint in the park with Some of the Bristol/London gang who popped over for the day.I Didn't paint anything ground-breaking, just some basic letters (about all my overheated brain could manage).
The Open studios kind of fizzled out after a great start, but I'm due to be moving downstairs into the cool soon- so hopefully next year will be a little more palletable!

Palestinians File War Crimes Claim Over Hamlet
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A top Palestinian official says the Palestinians have filed a war crimes claim against Israel at the International Criminal Court over its planned razing of a West Bank Bedouin hamlet.
Saeb Erekat says Israel should be held accountable for its plan on Khan al-Ahmar.
The Khan al-Ahmar encampment has focused attention on what critics say is the continued displacement of Palestinians by Israel. European countries urged Israel this week to refrain from demolition.
Israel says Khan al-Ahmar was illegally built and has offered to resettle residents 12 kilometers (7 miles) away. Critics say its removal is meant to make room for an Israeli settlement.
Israel's Supreme Court rejected an appeal last week, paving the way for demolition.
Palestinian activist Abdallah Abu Rahmeh said Tuesday that setting up the white shipping containers, one with a Palestinian flag, is a message to Israel that "it's our right to build on our land."

Some of the best coffee projects we know of got their start on Kickstarter. From...
Great Coffee To Gift ……
Is there a coffee lover – or several of them – on your gift list? You'll never have trouble finding great gifts for people who love coffee. Whether you're looking for a birthday gift, a gift for an anniversary or even a wedding gift, coffee gifts are almost certain to be appreciated. Even better, you'll find coffee gifts in just about any price range to suit your budget. From coffee mugs to state of the art coffee centers, here are some great coffee gifts to please the coffee lovers on your list.
Coffee Gifts $5 and Under
Coffee Mugs make wonderful gifts for just about any occasion. Need a gift for a special teacher at the end of the year? A coffee mug that reads "A+ Teacher" will fit the bill nicely. If you shop wisely – say, hit the buck-for-everything store – you can pick up a great coffee mug, and still have enough left over to tuck a few bags of her favorite candy into the mug.
Along the same lines, pick up a travel coffee mug for your favorite commuter. Insulated and designed to fit a standard beverage holder in most cars, you'll find a wide selection of travel mugs to choose from. My personal favorites have no handle – just a great rubber thumb pad on either side, and a recessed rim to keep the coffee from dribbling down my front. They were 3 for $10 at my local Walgreens – at that price, I picked up a full set in three different colors.
Got a real coffee gourmet on your gift list? Add an extra touch of luxury to their morning coffee routine with a sterling silver coffee scoop so that they always measure out the perfect amount of coffee. Have it engraved for free with a personal message and they'll think of you every morning.
Coffee Gifts Up to $20
Assemble a gourmet coffee gift of your own. Choose two or three packages of gourmet coffee blends in pretty wrappings and tuck them into a basket along with a coffee mug.
Pick up a steam moka pot. These are the traditional Italian method of making coffee – stainless steel pots that make your coffee on the stovetop. You can pick them up in most small groceries for about $10-$12, which leaves you enough to add a half pound of gourmet coffee to your gift.
Get them into the daily grind. You can pick up an inexpensive bladed coffee grinder for about $20. A true espresso gourmet might turn up their nose – but most coffee drinkers will love the luxury of drinking fresh ground. It's a great and unexpected gift for a student who is just setting up house for themselves for the first time, or for a couple as a wedding or shower gift.
For the really serious coffee lover, pick up a pound of real Hawaiian Kona or Jamaican Blue coffee. These pricey blends are the champagne of the coffee world, and will run you about $10-15 per half pound bag. If you really want to impress, make it peaberry coffee – coffee made only from coffee beans that grew one stone instead of the usual two. You'll pay a premium, but most coffee gourmets will tell you that it's well worth it.
Coffee Gifts Under $50
If you don't have the time to assemble one yourself, you can pick up a wide variety of coffee gift baskets for $25-$50 – and have them hand delivered. Look for coffee gift baskets that contain something unique or unexpected – a pair of his and hers coffee mugs for newlyweds, a half pound of chocolate covered espresso beans for a friend with a yen for chocolate or a French Press coffee maker with a pound of gourmet coffee.
An inexpensive steam coffee maker is another of those coffee gifts that's perfect for the beginning coffee afficionado on your list. The price on steam coffee makers has really tumbled over the past few years as more and more people are deciding to save the money they spend on Starbucks cappucino and make their own at home. For about $35, you can buy a very decent coffee maker with a steam wand to froth milk.
Buy your coffee lover the gift of a new experience. Pick up an old-fashioned stove top popcorn popper – the kind with the crank on the lid to keep the kernels from burning. Tuck a bag of raw green coffee beans from a roasting house inside, and attach a copy of our instruction on how to roast your own coffee at home.
Coffee Gifts That Really Say You Care
Want to wow the wedding couple? Buy them a real espresso maker and burr grinder. Depending on the brand, you can buy an espresso maker and burr grinder pair for $300-$500 new – less if you're willing to shop around on the auction sites. Or – skip the machinery and get them a gift subscription to a gourmet coffee club. They'll be treated to a different gourmet coffee from around the world each month for a year.

Technology Delivers Customer-Centricity for Group, Voluntary Benefits Insurers
Consumers today are more educated, more demanding, and more mobile than those of the past, and are using—and enjoying—the benefits of technology advances in other industries. Those advances have led to increased personalization, improved product choice, and greater accessibility.
For insurers in the group and voluntary benefits market, these advances also create a challenging environment in which insurers are trying to provide access to core plan and voluntary product options, self-service functionality, mobile access, flexible billing plans, and online enrollment with outpaced legacy systems. Any insurer unable to meet the needs of this consumer-driven market, by connecting with consumers where, when, and how they shop, faces significant challenges to gaining market share and closing new business.
Instead, insurers must move past limited legacy technology. By investing in modern core administration systems, which can leverage predictive insights from external and internal data and convert those insights into sales and service actions, insurers can improve customer engagement and product development.
Technology modernization is designed to increase customer-centricity by transforming the purchasing experience, enhancing service levels, creating personalized offers and experiences, and promoting loyalty by unifying systems around customers.
Transform the Purchasing Experience
Insurance transactions come in all shapes and sizes, and as distribution continues to evolve, the purchasing experience will continue to evolve as well. Demands for access anytime, anywhere, anyhow and the ability to purchase, modify, renew or file a claim on demand in a self-service environment are growing among insurance consumers.
These consumer demands make the move toward omni-channel even more imperative in light of recent news about Google Compare and Google`s investment in innovative insurer Oscar Healthcare Insurance.
Insurers competing in terms of the purchasing experience may soon also have competition from such consumer behemoths as Apple and Amazon. These companies have honed the art of transforming the purchasing experience in other industries and now look poised to step into insurance.
Enhance Service Levels
Teenagers aren`t the only people demanding instant gratification. Although parents often counter that "right now" is an unrealistic goal, many modern businesses have worked hard to condition customers of all ages to expect it.
These expectations, unrealistic or not, make speed-to-market for new insurance products, reduced claim cycle times, and enhanced service levels a priority for insurers. For the employer, the ability to tailor the insurance experience instead of adopting a one-size-fits-all mentality, which is common in traditional group insurance offerings, is paramount and speaks to consumer demand for personalization as part of an enhanced service offering.
For example, individual employees expect to be able to select a preferred billing cycle for each insurance product and are disappointed if the insurer (or the employer via the insurer) cannot make a single, list bill for all group and voluntary products immediately available.
Brokers trying to keep up with customer expectations are asking insurers to create group and voluntary quotes on a single proposal and to have one place to view activity on any account, at any time, whether it is the status of a proposal, enrollment results, a bill or a claim.
Personalize and Grow Business
By understanding an individual`s purchasing context, including overall lifestyle, family dynamics, goals and aspirations, insurers can use digital channels to create a more personalized experience with more inherent, seamless opportunities for up-sell and cross-sell. Capturing lifestyle data is critical for the success of such efforts, and online enrollment and service processes need to be adapted to make it happen.
In this way, online enrollment can adopt some of the more personal qualities of the expensive and much less efficient face-to-face enrollment. When customer lifestyle data and account and transaction data are combined and analyzed, insurers can better predict customer behavior, such as what offers through what channels will appeal to a particular customer.
Unify Systems around the Customer
With the rise of comparison shopping and the increasing role of exchanges and enrollment firms pushing insurers further from the forefront of the consumer relationship, insurers must create unique, compelling experiences to bring their own brands back to top of mind. Therefore, any technology modernization initiative must put customer engagement at the epicenter.
Technology supporting this approach gives the insurer a complete, real-time view of the customer, enabling every frontline employee and automated system to conduct more informed customer interactions. Unifying systems around the customer also promotes loyalty by ensuring the company is easy to do business with and giving the customer a sense of dealing with an integrated company.
Insurers are moving to bring the front and back office together, breaking down traditional silos. It means taking system integrations to a new level, mining the information residing in core systems, and then combining that data with sales, marketing, and servicing insight—in real time, in the right context—to significantly improve the experience for the customer and help insurers break out of the commodity trap that is being set in this fight for the consumer.

Weekly news, tips, trivia, fun facts and wild tales from the outdoors
May 4, 2005
Back From The Brink
Without a doubt, the big news buzz in the outdoors community this past week was the announcement regarding the existence of an Ivory-billed woodpecker — a species previously considered as extinct — after its sighting was confirmed on the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Arkansas. In other news, we have reports from a golf course where you don't always "play it where it lays," some turkey hunters who ran afowl of the law, and more!
J.R. Absher
Top Billing
It's exciting news for all sportsmen and conservationists. After more than six decades since the last confirmed sighting, the Ivory-billed woodpecker was rediscovered in the U.S. In an announcement made last week, the existence of a male woodpecker was confirmed at Arkansas' Cache River National Wildlife Refuge — a premier bottomland hardwood swamp acquired largely through U.S. Federal Duck Stamp funds.
The large black-and-white birds have distinctive white wing patches and measure at least 20 inches in height. Males sport a red crest.
The Ivory-billed woodpecker was rediscovered in the Arkansas.
Following the confirmation of the bird in late 2004, federal, state, and private conservation groups moved quickly and quietly to secure the area. And then the Departments of Agriculture and Interior announced a $10 million initiative to lease, buy, and encourage the conservation of more land in the area surrounding the refuge.
"For three generations this bird has been a symbol of the great old forests of the southern United States," said John Fitzpatrick of the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology, one of the groups involved in the search and sighting confirmation. "This is the most spectacular creature we could ever imagine rediscovering," he added.
Water Hazard
Let's see, would this shot call for a 9-iron or a sand wedge?
A trio of golfing buddies who regularly play the links near their homes on Hilton Head Island, S.C., won't soon forget the shot made by Harold Parris on the par-3, 12th hole at Robber's Row golf course last week.
The duffers noticed a couple of mid-sized alligators sunning themselves near the green as they approached the No. 3 tee — a sight not uncommon to island residents. As Parris stroked his tee shot, the ball bounced once before landing squarely in the middle of the bony protrusions of one of the gator's tails. When Parris saw where the ball landed, he didn't skip a beat — he dropped another ball a safe distance away from the undisturbed amphibious reptile and quietly resumed playing.
An alligator sunned itself on a South Carolina golf course.
Parris, a course regular, knew full well that he was in full compliance with course rules regarding gators, and was not penalized for the drop.
Afowl Of The Law
In Kentucky last week, three turkey hunters might have thought they were reverting to hunting tactics of the good old days, but they instead were cited by a Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources law-enforcement officer for using "live," domestic turkeys as illegal decoys.
Agency officer Lt. Doc Hodges told the Louisville Courier Journal that his office received a tip that the men were using birds to entice wild gobblers to within shooting range.
"There were three guys coming across the field, and they were carrying four live turkeys — two hens and two gobblers," Hodges said. "One guy had a turkey under each arm."
The practice of using live birds as decoys was abolished in the early 1900s. At that time, waterfowl hunters often used live ducks amid their spread of non-breathing decoys.
The live birds would quack and flap their wings at the passing flocks, plus add sound and motion to the wood or cork decoys floating in front of a duck blind.
Wild Zoo Visitors
Public zoos in two cities last week were visited by wild critters attempting to join their incarcerated brethren in cages and enclosures.
Visitors at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo reported seeing a wild coyote strolling through the North Side institution before officials gave chase and the animal disappeared.
"It ran through the zoo around lunchtime," zoo spokeswoman Kelly McGrath told the Chicago Tribune.
There have been a number of wild coyote sightings along the Lake Michigan lakefront, particularly in Lincoln Park, where some area residents say they can hear howling after dark.
Across the country, a wild bobcat broke into the Tucson (Ariz.) Zoo and did what wild animals do — it killed and ate a swan swimming in one of the zoo's ponds.
The following morning, when a zookeeper found the remains of the swan, the zoo was closed to the public until county animal control officers tracked down the culprit. The bobcat was tranquilized as it sat in a tree and taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center for further examination.
Quote Of The Week
"A dyed-in-the-wool turkey man is an exclusionist, recognizing no other quarry as worthy of pursuit. Indeed, he regards with amused tolerance his wayfaring brothers who are content to match wits with lesser game — the word 'lesser' connoting everything else on the habitable globe."
-Havilah Babcock

Ok so this friend of a friend has a lawn tractor, says it has a carb problem and will take it off and bring over to me to run through my USC. I asked him whats wrong. The tractor starts and he can mow the lawn for about 30 minutes and then it quits. Will not start. even after several hours. It will start after several days and work for 30 again. I do not know the brand but it is around 20 years old. I said wait before you pull the carb as I don't think that is the real issue.... He said he had run the unit with the gas cap loose (venting not the problem). Still same result. even replaced the spark plug. Same results. Sorry not much info here but I was hoping for some ideas to check out.
My thought is to check if it has spark after it quits... (maybe a coil over heating?) Also to check and see if the engine is free of debris (grass clippings/mice nest/etc.)
Anything else to look for before pulling off the carb???

How to Implement Basic Change Management
1. Start small and keep it simple
Identify key technical folks from each of the functional IT group (Network, Development, etc) to serve as a Change Advisory Board (CAB). Meet face to face with these key people weekly to review all planned changes.
Basic game plan:
- Identify a Change Manager to facilitate a weekly CAB meeting.
- All changes will be reviewed at the CAB ( Make CAB the place to be, and over time, the value of the review will attract "all".
- CAB is comprised of technical folks and decision makers
- The role of CAB is to review proposed changes and determine if they're likely to cause harm to the business. (Keep CAB focused on protecting the business from adverse impact, and don't allow CAB to become a bureaucratic roadblock!)
- Maintain some form of Change Log to keep track of proposed and approved changes. (I'd recommend a spreadsheet, so you stay focused on the valueof the process, and not the details)
- Track Change and outcomes
- Establish an emergency change process to handle urgent and critical changes via email. (This is important to avoid the "too slow and bureaucratic" criticism)
- Over time, you want to see failed and rolled back changes decrease.
You'll need to develop your own groove, based on the culture, but that's the short of it. Keep it simple and focus on protecting the business from harm.
2. Improve the CAB process
Principle: Use failed changes as opportunities to improve! (not finger point)
Use the outcomes data to identify ways to improve the CAB. For instance, for a failed change, are there things CAB could have anticipated and avoided the failure?
- Take time at CAB meetings to review changes from last week. If any rolled back or failed, are there any lessons to be learned that could improve the CAB process?
- If the lessons learned are small and doable, make them part of the CAB culture immediately
- If the lessons learned require more work, keep a prioritized list, and implement the high priority ones as opportunity allows.
- Ensure Service Desk and Operations staff are part of the CAB, and have access to the details of changes.
3. Celebrate Successes
By just bringing the CAB team together, this basic ITIL Change Management process is sure to uncover some sources of unintended consequences from proposed changes. When the CAB heads these off at the pass before causing customer impact, celebrate! Let senior management and key business stakeholder know that the process discovered and avoided business impact.

Dewan Rakyat : Conference cancelled due to PM's absence
July 17, 2007 at 8:20 am Leave a comment
THE prime minister could not attend the "Building Bridges" Islam-Christianity Inter-faith Conference on the day it was scheduled and that was the reason it was cancelled.
It was not because the government did not want the conference to be held in the country.
This was stated by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz at the parliament lobby yesterday.
He said the government did not have any problem with the conference which sought to promote understanding between both faiths.
"It is not against Islam Hadhari," he added.
Earlier in the Dewan Rakyat, Nazri said that there was no point in holding an inter-faith conference when the prime minister was unable to attend or participate.
"He wants to be present in such a conference to show his commitment," he said in reply to Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) who asked what was being done to repair the damage to the country's international reputation as a model multi-religious nation for cancelling the conference.
Nazri said the country had its own mechanism to maintain peace and harmony.
"The prime minister had spoken about Islam Hadhari in different ways to various people.
"Following his lectures, Muslim and non-Muslim participants are free to have a dialogue or raise questions on religious practices," he added.
To a supplementary question by Salahuddin Ayub (Pas-Kubang Kerian), Nazri said the government was always monitoring inter-faith and religious conflicts in the country.
"We realise that some people are trying hard to provoke racial intolerance."
The cancellation of the Muslim-Christian inter-faith conference, which was supposed to be held from May 7 to 11, drew criticism from various parties including religious groups and the opposition. (NST, 19/6/07)

My name is Sarah Yannetta. I am a recently graduated advertising and marketing student from Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario. I've since moved home to Cobourg and taken up fishkeeping as a hobby.
I gained an interest in fishkeeping when I was 13 and took care of a friends fish while her family went on vacation. I kept small fish until an uninformed pet store employee sold a Columbian Shark to an unsuspecting and uneducated me! From here I started researching the fish I had, got Eduardo (the shark) a bigger home, and lived a happy few years with him.
Unfortunately, Eduardo passed away while I was away at school. Now that I'm home again I've started keeping fish again! Yay!
I currently have two freshwater aquariums: a 10g and a 55g. My tanks house an assortment of small community fish such as tetras, platys, danios, guppies, and a few different invertebrates.
I hope to document the long journey I have ahead of me with this hobby and even provide some insight into what it takes to keep aquarium fish and help new people gain confidence and knowledge in this fantastic and highly rewarding hobby.

busy with stuff...
Karl and his dad have been doing the repairs to our house. There are just a couple of things that we felt like had to be fixed before we tried to sell it and actually the rest of the house is in good shape. The houses we have looked at are in need of help. That sort of irritates me. We are spending time on trying to get our house move in ready and the other houses need to be fixed up. Karl did find a house, but it is in Springfield. It is wonderful though. We may have to go look at it. It would have easy access to the road for us to get to work and it wouldn't be that far. The school district is one of the best in Springfield according to different girls I have talked to at the university. We really want to stay here so Josh can go to a smaller school, but who knows.
So, I was all set to blog yesterday and was even at Kat's blog and read it, but my phone rang. I am going to try it again today. Once the phone rings it seems I am busy the rest of the day. I hope you are having a wonderful week. It is hot and sunny here near 100 degrees. The farmers are having a hard time...the ponds are drying up and the hay is not growing as much as thhey would like. This will make for a hard winter feeding the animals. I just wish it would rain and cool off some. Take care. I will be by soon...she keeps saying and meaning it.

Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
A couple hundred years ago, there were a set of twin boys that went to the University of Dayton with my hubby. Those boys were from Springfield and their dad had a big lumber yard there. Springfield's the capital of Missouri right?
Just thought I'd mention it. Have a happy week, sweetie. Hugz!!

Hi Lori;ReplyDelete
The weather is the same here and just as hot and humid at night. The weather all year has been extreme. I'm hoping we'll have a normal nice rest of the year but I doubt it.
I hope the house you are going to look at is the one especially that the school district is a good one.
Have a lovely day ahead my friend. ;-}
Hey girlie, just hopping in to say hi.ReplyDelete
Sounds like summer is going well with you all, Josh getting to spend time with cousins and you and Karl doing what you have too. :) I guess I didn't realize you were trying/or going to try to sell you house. Didn't know you wanted to move. I know about working on a house so that you can sell it. And when I look at houses now, I don't want to have to go in and start again, but since we have had a "lag" in time with renting, It might not be so bad now.
Good luck!
Try to stay cool.
Thank-you for visiting my blog! You are always welcome here. I love Comments, so let me know you were here.

Keeping Connected While in Labor
Do You Really Feel For Your Friends While They Are in Labor?
Thanks to modern technology, most moms have a support group once they head to the hospital to labor and deliver. Whether it's via text message, instant messenger, email, a phone tree, or social networking updates — friends and family are kept up to date on all the details from the water breaking and the epidural being administered to the announcement of the actual birth.
Once a woman has been through the process herself, it's hard not to feel sympathetic (and slightly nauseous) when you hear the needle is going into the spine or empathetic (and exhausted) when you realize the mama-to-be has been pushing for three hours. Or get teary eyed when you see the first stunning photo of your friend holding the bundle of joy? Do you truly feel the experience of fellow women?

Truck drivers with properly controlled insulin-treated diabetes will no longer be required to obtain an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Administration thanks to a revision of the current federal regulations.
The change in rules was announced Tuesday, September 18th and will go into effect on November 19th of this year.
Commercial drivers with properly controlled diabetes will now be able to obtain a Medical Examiner's Certificate and keep it for up to 12 months by allowing their personal doctor (the one who manages the driver's diabetes) to fill out the Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form indicating that the driver keeps up with a stable insulin regimen and maintains proper control of their condition. The form would then be turned in to the Medical Examiner, who decides if they agree with the driver's doctor, and the truck driver would be given the all-clear to cross state lines in their commercial vehicle.
The FMCSA says that this change in procedure "will eliminate the exemption program that currently requires individuals with ITDM to incur recurring costs to renew and maintain their exemptions. FMCSA estimates this will save the nearly 5,000 individuals with ITDM that currently have exemptions more than $5 million per year more than what they would endure under the exemption program. The final rule will also save new ITDM exemption applicants and their associated motor carriers approximately $215,000 annually in opportunity and compliance costs related with the exemption program's waiting period."
The FMCSA itself is also expected to save $1 million per year now that it will no longer be administering the diabetes exemption program.
"This final action delivers economic savings to affected drivers and our agency, and streamlines processes by eliminating unnecessary regulatory burdens and redundancy," said FMCSA Administrator Raymond P. Martinez.
"It's a win-win for all parties involved."

Norton Shores wants nearly $1M back from company that relocated to Wisconsin
NORTON SHORES — A lakeshore community is asking a manufacturer Wacker Neuson Corp. to pay back lost tax revenue after the company left town before fulfilling the obligations of its tax abatement. Wacker Neuson, a manufacturer of construction equipment that had been located in Norton Shores since 2007, closed its facility at 1300 E. Mount Garfield Road in August 2018, two and a half years before the expiration of one of six tax abatements it received.

SemCrude LP, a subsidiary of SemGroup Corporation, announced plans to expand its Platteville CO truck unloading terminal as part of an agreement with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. Expansion of the Platteville unloading terminal will increase capacity by up to 60%, and is designed to support Anadarko's anticipated increase in production in the region.
The Platteville Terminal, located northeast of Denver, is the origination point of the White Cliffs Pipeline, a 526-mile crude oil pipeline terminating in Cushing OK. Crude oil from the Denver-Julesberg basin is currently delivered to SemCrude's Platteville Terminal via transport trucks and unloaded through 10 existing truck bays. The expansion is expected to be complete by the end of 2012.
"Significant, increased demand continues for transporting crude through the White Cliffs Pipeline," said Pete Schwiering, president of SemCrude. "We are excited about this expansion and working with Anadarko to meet its rising production needs."
