One of the largest condo buildings in the Warehouse District, homeowners enjoy some of the best building amenities in the area.

Meditation as Part of Daily Life
Chogyam Trungpa: Meditation practices have nothing to do with the value of the techniques as such, but are based on simplicity as a whole. They (students) shouldn't regard the technique as magical power at all. I should warn everybody that meditation has no magical power as such, but everybody has to work on themselves. Having used the technique diligently, from that point, people begin to develop. There is simplicity in the technique; they don't have to strive for it. The technique becomes part of themselves, (the) same as drinking a cup of tea, that becomes very close to it. So the technique should be referred to as part of the daily life situation, rather than medicine or a sedative as such.
Student: But what does meditation develop?
CT: Becoming sane and becoming skillful in dealing with your daily life.
S: OK, but how does it happen?
CT: Well, it just happens!

Stem cell treatment may be one of the most controversial procedures in today's medical world, but the procedure may be a godsend to those who have exhausted every other option in the medical market unsuccessfully, yet still suffer from a debilitating affliction.
Although stem cell treatment is risky, the cutting edge medical phenomenon may be a last-ditch effort to salvage the participant's health. When a human being's quality of life is completely gone, the course of action the individual chooses to take involves a complex decision-making process.
For Kevin Nash and Ryback, this was a risk worth taking.
Kevin Nash recently flew to Medellin, Colombia, for inter-disc stem cell treatment. On 1 August 2019, Nash underwent the ground-breaking treatment and uploaded a video of the process on his Twitter page.
'Big Sexy' took to Twitter the day after his treatment, and gleefully shared exceptional news with his millions of followers and fans around the world:
The night before Kevin Nash's dangerous treatment, Big Daddy Cool posted a picture of Ryback and himself enjoying a massive Medellin dinner as they both prepared to undergo similar stem cell procedures. The former WWE big men stuffed their smiling faces before having to fast for their individual treatments.
Since their individual procedures, both Nash and Ryback have displayed a "kid on Christmas morning" amount of excitement about their incredible results via their respective Twitter pages. For now, both massive men seem to have found a way to drastically improve their quality of life. Hopefully, both of their conditions will continue to improve over time.

ISO 9001 – ISO certification of management system
ISO 9001 is an international standard for quality certification. It fits all companies and organizations that want to streamline their business and get more satisfied customers. As an accredited certification body, we help you to review and improve your quality management system and then issue the certificate.
Do you want to work smarter? With a quality management system you can more easily analyze and control both your internal processes and the customer's experience of your product and your brand. With an efficient organization and a structured way of working, you also save both time and money. The ISO 9001 certificate is a confirmation that you consciously, systematically and customer-oriented work on developing and improving your business.
A INTERNATIONAL QUALITY factor WITH MANY BENEFITS - ISO 9001
The ISO 9001 standard is the world's best-known quality standard, well-established both in Sweden and abroad. ISO 9001 basically deals with improvement, and the standard's requirements document is therefore a good tool for all companies that want to develop and work smarter. A business that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 is productive and cost-effective, receives lower number of complaints and has more satisfied customers. An ISO certification also fulfills an important function internally, since the staff often feel greater responsibility and satisfaction in their work when they actively participated in quality-enhancing measures. A certified quality management system is also an increasingly common requirement both for large procurements and for smaller business deals.
A quality certification is a wise investment that helps you to do what you are good at even better - while strengthening your brand towards both customers and suppliers.
ISO 9001 – what is needed and what is the process for a certification?
Introducing a quality management system can feel like a big project, but big does not have to mean difficult or complicated. You simply introduce routines for how you should ensure continuous development and improvement in your business. Broadly speaking, the process - creating a functioning quality management system and becoming certified - involves the following steps:
1. Create a quality plan; policies and procedures
2. Implement the quality plan in your business
3. Analyze and fix the work - further improve your quality management system 4. Audit
5. Certification
Step 1-3 you do yourself or with the help of a consultant. There are many talented consultants working in different industries around the country, we are happy to convey contact information. You can also get good help from the SIS (Swedish Standards Institue) website. There are, among other things, requirements documents, checklist, a web guide and tips on education and manuals. When auditing, we as an accredited certification company help you review your quality management system based on the requirements set in ISO 9001. We look at whether your routines are comprehensive and if the working methods you describe are well established and implemented. Should we find any shortcomings after the quality audit, you will get a list of what needs to be addressed. When the audit is approved and completed, we issue your certificate in accordance with ISO 9001. We then assist you with annual development visits for continued good development and a maintained high quality. Every three years, a re-certification is also made. Together we look at any deviations and shortcomings so that a new certificate can be issued well in advance of expiry date of the previous one.
DO YOU NEED CERTIFICATION or RENEWAL OF CERTIFICATE ACCORDING TO ISO 9001?
Do you want to certify your company according to quality standard ISO 9001? Contact us and we will help you with the information you need or request a quotation directly.
Is it time to renew your existing quality certificate? We can take over your certificate from current certification bodies and assist you at any time during the certification cycle. Contact us for more information.
ISO 9000 - the standard series for quality The standard ISO 9000 series contains requirements and advice for what we normally express as "quality certification" We usually talk about the ISO 9001 - the actual requirement document in the standard. The series also contains several supporting documents, such as ISO 9004, which is a guiding document for certification
Quality certification in accordance with ISO 9001 can be combined with other management systems, such as environmental certification according to ISO 14001 & ISO 45001, the standard for systematic work environment work. Please contact us for more information.

I'm going about summer a little differently this year.
Last summer was all about my book — writing, creating, producing. And it was good and fulfilling and challenging work that I was so thankful to be doing.
But in a few recent conversations and reflections, I've realized that I want this summer to be more about the living, rather than the creating. (And as most writers and artists know, it's the living that produces the good writing and creating anyway.)
Part of my plan for this summer was inspired by this blog post from Braid Creative. I love the concept of capturing, shaping, and sharing and the way that simple sequence can inspire our art — and even our lives — in lots of ways. In a recent article I read, the author referred to writers as being sort of like professional rememberers. That's a job description I can totally get behind, and my friends and family can attest that I love capturing moments and memories with my camera or phone whenever we are together. Those little snapshots later become opportunities for stories, blog posts, and even other creative pursuits. They also serve as sweet little reminders of what God's doing in my life. Capturing, shaping, and sharing helps me more clearly see the work of God in my life.
So, my focus this summer isn't to blog x number of times per week, or to create this or that. It's to really focus on what I wrote my eBook about — living fully and creatively right where I am, right where He has me.
I'll be reading books, shopping farmers markets, and walking and swimming in the sunshine. I'll be creating memories with friends and family, and I'll be abiding and resting in Him, making space for Him to recreate and renew me in preparation for the seasons to come.
While I most likely won't be blogging every week, I'll continue to capture my adventures on Instagram (follow me @aplacetodwell). And if you'd like to join me in celebrating this summer season and where God has us, use the hashtag #AnInspiredSummer.
(Pssst. I won't be completely abandoning the blog, of course. I'll be popping in here from time to time to share snippets and stories from the summer that are inspired by my Instagram updates.)
So, will you join me?
Cheers to a summer of slowing down, being present, and living fully and creatively for Him!

Amazing production and effects!
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Difficulty: Medium
Website: 60out
LETS GO! I AM HYPED JUST RELIVING THIS EXPERIENCE IN MY HEAD. This was my first LA Escape Room and I can't wait to go back. We did The Ghost Ship and I am so glad I did this.
Production Value. Without question, this is in the top two out of all the escape rooms I have been to. The escape room is tucked away on a busy street but when I walked into the The Ghost Ship, I actually felt like I was on a Ghost Ship. From the moment you walk in it is like Pirates of the Caribbean. The sound effects are incredible. Everything is just so well done. Seriously, great job guys.
Immersiveness. With how well done the production value is, you can't help but feel immersed in this game. Especially with how you start off this game, it really gets you in the right state of mind to move forward. I loved it.
Puzzles. There were some well thought out puzzles in this room. I especially loved the first puzzle which sets the tone of the whole game. The flow of the puzzles is important and the flow of everything is perfect. You know what puzzles you will need to finish another puzzle instead of aimlessly solving random things around the room. My only complaint is that they tell us some keys will be used twice, so we are walking around the whole time with a bunch of keys.
Customer Service. Everyone was very nice and enthusiastic. That's really the only thing you need for great customer service, enthusiasm goes a long way.
I give this escape room a 9.5/10. This is a must see!

This is possibly one of the most remembered routines in the entire Our Gang series. Based on the Vaudeville routine of H.M. Walker, who wrote created the titles for the Silent Films, this "history lesson" occurs in the short, School's Out and possibly serves as the best example of the humor of the Little Rascals. Why a review of Colonial History jumps ahead to the Civil War with two questions from Literature and Ancient Rome, though, is unrevealed. Here's the dialogue:
Miss Crabtree: Now, children, we shall begin with an oral lesson in history. Is everyone ready? (looks over the room) Chubby Chaney, who was Nathan Hale?
Chubby: Nathan Hale was an American patriot.
Miss Crabtree: (smiling) That's right. In what manner did he give his life for his country?
Chubby: He was hung.
Miss Crabtree: (correcting his grammar) No, he was hanged.
Chubby: Oh... hanged. (grins, looks around and sits down)
Miss Crabtree: Farina, what was his last words before they hanged him?
Farina: He said, "Brother, this is certainly going to be a lesson to me!"
(Miss Crabtree reacts confused. Farina nervously sits)
Miss Crabtree: (confused) Donald Haines, where is Washington?
Donald Haines: First in war, first in peace, and third in the American League!!!
(Miss Crabtree reacts and he sits)
Miss Crabtree: Douglas Greer, what was Abraham Lincoln's mother's name?
Douglas Greer: (tiredly) Mrs. Lincoln....
Miss Crabtree: (doing a double-take) Are you children trying to be funny? (distressed) Buddy O'Donnell*, on Paul Revere's night ride, what did he say as he stopped his horse in front of the colonial homes?
Buddy O'Donnell: He said, "Whoa!!"
Miss Crabtree: (upset) Somebody is in for a real trouncing! (continuing confused) Bobby Mallon, what was Nero doing while Rome burned?
Bobby Mallon: (earnestly) I don't know, but I think he should have been hauling water to the fire!
Miss Crabtree: (suspicious) Jackie Cooper, who was the Hunchback of Notre Dame?
Jackie Cooper: Lon Chaney!
Miss Crabtree: (surprised double-take) What is this? (looks around) Mary Ann Jackson, what famous words did Washington utter as he crossed the Delaware?
(Mary Ann responds with a strange Betty Boop routine.)
Miss Crabtree: (shocked) I'm going to be punishing the next child severely who gives me a foolish answer! (looks around) Farina, what was Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address?
Farina: Sixteen Forty-Four South Main Street!
Miss Crabtree: Oh! (angrily marches over to Farina's desk) Who gave you those answers?!
Everyone: Bonedust!!!
(Miss Crabtree angrily marches over to Bonedust's seat and pulls him up to sit up straight after he's been sinking in his seat during the lesson to hide under his desk)
Miss Crabtree: Robert, where did you get those answers?!
Bonedust Young: (confused) Out of this book! (he holds up The Minstrel And Blackface Joke Book)
( * Possible flub. The actor/character is really named Buddy McDonald.)

Tangier is a professional model dog for the Tres Blasé magazine and only bully to Russell Ferguson from Littlest Pet Shop.
He showed to be pretty welcoming when Russell and Zoe came to the pet modeling studio, and even complimented the latter about her many previous works for posters and billboards. Russell thought he seemed really nice, but Zoe became suspicious.
When Russell's sneezing ruined a shooting session, Zoe found out the hedgehog's scarf had been covered in sneezing powder, which happened after Tangier helped Russell to fix it. She then decided to expose his acts to Oliver, the head of pet modeling.
Tangier then tried to further ruin Russell's modeling career by putting hot sauce at his food. Even though Russell did eat it, Zoe managed to catch Tangier at a camera, granting him a time-out from his career.
Frustrated, he later accidentally fell for his own trap and ate from Russell's bowl.

We have a ritual we call Fun Family Friday. Every Friday, we make dinner, have a special dessert, and we eat off our lap as we watch a movie. One Friday, I decided to google quick healthy chocolate fudge. Searching I found this recipe for Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge by Chocolate Covered Katie. I left it too late to make and didn't have time to freeze it, so we ate it as a soft serve dessert. It was delicious – like the sort of delicious you just want to bury your face in. I wondered what I could do to make this something that was suitable as a lunchbox snack. These Chocolate Banana Rice Bubble Wheels are adapted from Chocolate Covered Katie's recipe and are the outcome of trialling and testing.
What I love about this mixture is that you can eat it whilst it's soft (before you put it in the freezer) and it's the bomb. They are awesome straight out of the freezer and they are a bit squishier and more fudge like when they've been in the lunchbox. Make the mix, and test all three ways. Let me know what's your favourite way.
- 1/2 cup cacao butter
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1 over-ripe banana
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- optional 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup puffed rice (or rice bubbles)
- Melt the cacao butter over medium heat
- Throw the rest of the ingredients except the rice bubbles into a food processor with the cacao butter
- Blitz until smooth
- If using puffed rice, heat a frying pan over high heat and add the puffed rice. Toast over high heat until crispy and golden
- Stir through the puffed rice or rice bubbles
- At this stage, you can serve the mixture into bowls as a dessert; or
- Press into a mini muffin tray to make the wheels, then freeze
Freezer / Storage Instructions
Store in a single layer in an air-tight container.
Another 2 ways
- Add some dessicated coconut to the mixture
- Add some goji berries to the mix (or even add coconut and goji berries)
Just a reminder, you don't need to be a master chef, or have a big spotless kitchen to make awesome nutritious meals or snacks for your family.

Molecular mechanisms of email@example.com
Abnormal filamentous inclusions characterise many human neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The formation of filaments or their mere presence is believed to result in the propagation of inclusions and in neurodegeneration. Our work showed that the intracellular filaments of these diseases are made of either alpha-synuclein or tau protein.
SNCA, the alpha-synuclein gene, is mutated or multiplied in rare inherited cases of Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, and alpha-synuclein is the major component of the filamentous lesions in all cases of Parkinson's disease, other Lewy body disorders and multiple system atrophy.
We and others identified mutations in MAPT, the tau gene, that cause rare inherited forms of frontotemporal dementia with tau inclusions, establishing a central role for tau assembly. In collaboration with Sjors Scheres and others, we used electron cryo-microscopy to show that the paired helical and straight filaments of sporadic Alzheimer's disease are ultrastructural polymorphs that differ in their inter-protofilament packing. They share two identical C-shaped protofilaments with a combined cross-?/?-helix structure; each protofilament consists of V306-F378 of tau (in the numbering of the 441 amino acid isoform). In sporadic Pick's disease, a form of frontotemporal dementia, narrow Pick filaments are made of a single protofilament with an elongated cross-? structure that extends from K254 to F378 of tau (lacking V275-S305). Wide Pick filaments consist of two narrow filaments joined at their distal tips. These findings establish that assembled tau adopts distinct folds in different neurodegenerative diseases.
We now aim to determine additional high-resolution structures of disease filaments. Ultimately, we wish to understand the pathological pathways that lead from monomeric alpha-synuclein and tau to their ordered assembly and to neurodegeneration.

……riding in today, with a head wind! Maybe it's from watching all the TDF, my legs have found inspiration!? I needed the morning off for some DIY and a delivery that needed signing for, so i didn't set off till lunchtime…. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? More awake perhaps? More cups of tea consumed, maybe!? It was hot, midday heat, although you would think that would hinder rather than help…..

With most other tv shows, the time between seasons means awkward new hairdos and a very different look to the characters when a new season resumes, even if no time at all has gone by in their fictional world.

"All life is a series of problems which we must try and solve…until at last we die… Why don't you get us an ice cream?" – Granny, Dowager Countess, cheerer of souls
So now all of the sudden Edith has taken an interest in Mary and Tom and the estate management…right. I find it hilarious that she's suddenly out on business with them, but also think it's high time she got interested in being part of the family and that which concerns them and keeps them fed and together.
It's possible that Edith may have developed a case of "baby brain." Now that Edith has decided to keep her baby and can't live without it in her life, she's also decided from just this one brief encounter that this tenant farmer is so trustworthy he would not only take her baby but let her come and go from his farm all she wants to see it and never tell a single soul. But Aunt Rosamund (finally) has a big plan to go away to the Continent for several months to "learn French." But as Granny says, "If [Rosamund] wishes to be understood by a foreigner, she shouts." In about two shakes, Granny does the math and holds a High Inquisition, I mean, luncheon for Rosamund and Edith. GRANNY KNOWS will be our next t-shirt. Continue reading

*List your property for FREE till 31st of May 2018
You read that title right. In a PR stunt of the decade, a real estate company called Aston Plaza Crypto is riding the Blockchain mania in Dubai and has partnered with BitPay to sell property for Bitcoin in Dubai's Science Park, a district 20 minutes away by car from downtown Dubai.
It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be the year of crypto: first, we had Paris Hilton advertising ICOs, and now we have apartments being sold for cryptocurrencies in Dubai. I think we can all agree that Bitcoin is finally hitting mainstream audiences with all this news.
Currently under construction, the 250 mln sterling pound project is set to be home to two towers and a mall. The 40-floor towers will include luxury studio apartments as well as one and two bedroom open plan apartments. As of this writing, the cheapest studio is going for 28.15 BTC (approximately $127,500), while the largest two bedroom apartments are selling for around 75 BTC.
Aston Plaza is a joint venture between the Isle of Man based Knox group and Baroness Michelle Mone, a British member of the House of Lords. In an interview with CNBC news, the Baroness said that Bitcoin is "the currency of the future."
She added:
"I think because everything is logged and registered, everything's transparent, that I wouldn't be getting involved in it — especially from the House of Lords element, I'm a Baroness — so I wouldn't be getting involved in it if it was a kind of 'dodgy' industry."
By mimicking a real-life ICO, the joint venture has offered up to a 20 percent discount on these under-construction properties to early birds paying in Bitcoin. Of the 1,133 apartments, 480 have already been sold in fiat, while the remainder are up for grabs for Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Across the globe, the business behind real estate has always been traditional and boring, but this is all about to change as more and more countries are looking into testing a way to buy and sell land and house deeds more securely and efficiently on the Blockchain.
Aston Plaza is not the first to take advantage of the Blockchain's hype factor for real estate. Take Omar Kassim for example: In 2011, he founded JadoPado, a UAE-based e-commerce platform that was recently acquired by the Dubai billionaire Mohammad Al Abbar as part of an effort to launch a competitor to Amazon in the Middle East.
Today, Omar is working on an open source real estate asset management business platform called Esanjo.
And Omar is not the only one. In fact, there have been rumors that Smart Dubai, the initiative created by Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed, is working on a way to transfer property ownership directly over the Blockchain.

As the 16th edition of Cityscape draws closer, here's why now is a good time to buy
The 16th edition of Cityscape Global brings changes that could stir greater interest in the annual real estate expo. The most notable is the decision to allow developers to sell on-site. In what is a first for Cityscape, which will be held this year on September 11-13 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, developers of UAE projects will be allowed to sign sales deals during the show, which opens a new window of opportunity for both sellers and visitors. Furthermore, with residential prices now near the bottom of the current cycle, there are a lot of great deals now available in the market. Here are some reasons why it's a good time to buy in Dubai.
1. New REIT choices
There are a number of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that have entered the market this year. Consequently, a lot of new activity is happening in the REIT market, with several new products being launched or planned in Dubai and Abu Dhabi this year, according to Craig Plumb, head of research at JLL Middle East and North Africa. "The major attraction of REITs is that they allow small retail investors to participate in the real estate sector without the need to buy real estate assets directly, which is time-consuming, lumpy and relatively expensive," says Plumb.
JLL expects more REITs to be launched over the next few years focusing on sector-specific vehicles to attract investors looking for exposure to a particular asset class such as hospitality, logistics or education. "Dubai currently is the best market in the region for institutional investors, but it is limited by a lack of good-quality investment products on secure long-term leases," says Plumb. "If more products of this type were offered at the right price, there would be strong interest from investors."
2. Affordable housing
The availability of affordable housing options in the market attracts both investors and end users. Plumb says the shift towards the middle-income or affordable sector over the past few years is a positive development. "An increasing number of developers are launching projects in line with JLL's definition of affordable, i.e. Dh780,000 for two-bedroom units," says Plumb. "And the availability of more affordable housing in the market increases the attraction and competitiveness of the city."
A major issue now facing the market is ensuring that such housing units remain affordable by limiting purchases by investors. "The challenge to Dubai's position as a competitive global city is confirmed by a recent study from Rent Café, which shows that renters in Dubai currently spend an average of 39 per cent of their salaries on rents, making it the ninth most expensive of the 30 global cities covered in their report."
3. Off-plan deals
The past two quarters have seen off-plan surpassing secondary market sales by 30 per cent, which shows the amount of investor confidence in Dubai. "We have seen payment plans extended to post completion so buyers can pay up to 30 per cent after the handover of the keys, which enables them to get rental income to help cover the costs," says Laura Adams, managing director of Carlton Real Estate. "Others have put 70 per cent as final completion payment, which is in line with the amount banks are lending."
4. High returns
Dubai's property market offers attractive rental returns when compared with other places in the world. Richard Paul, head of residential valuations at Cluttons, says that even in a softening market, investors can achieve gross yields of between 6 per cent and 10 per cent. Additionally, financing for such investments are available at interest rates of around 4 per cent, which is competitive compared with interest rates offered in other markets around the world.
He explains that the Dubai property market is still a relatively high-risk profile option, but allows investors to achieve higher returns. "The risk profile of any investment defines what kind of yield returns it can offer," says Paul. "The real estate market in Dubai is a young market; investment options for expats manifested only in 2003, so understanding a market which has fast-changing cycles and influences can be challenging, but there lies the upside of the potential for greater return. When comparing Dubai with more mature markets with more predicable cycles, the potential returns are often lower."
Paul believes that Dubai can certainly offer excellent returns for investors, but only if investors fully understand the market.
"They must carry out necessary due diligence and look to seek out impartial professional advice," he says. "The present market is ideal for longer-term buyers with an investment outlook of five or more years, who are looking to purchase a property at the bottom of a pricing cycle. However, they need to be committed to the region.
"I would discourage speculative buyers who think they might make a quick profit by exiting in 12-24 months. I don't see a quick turn in prices in the short term, neither do I want speculative buyers upsetting market stability."
5. Community choices
Buyers in Dubai now have a wider range of property options. In recent years, several new projects have been launched in emerging as well as more established communities, and the government has also recently announced significant spends on the city's infrastructure.
Paul points to communities that are well developed and have good levels of infrastructure, roads and proximity to other facilities, including hospitals and schools. "Look for properties that have established and built-up surrounding areas," he says. "Locations that are fairly speculative will tend to have a lot of vacant space neighbouring them. As such, they can be affected by more supply surrounding them and unforeseen development changes, which could ultimately result in prices softening."
6. Expo 2020 and Vision 2021
"We hope that the Expo and Vision 2021 will bring the spotlight back on Dubai," says Paul. "In turn, hopefully we will see firms from around the globe consider expansion and relocation plans into the region. The hope is that this brings growth in commerce and employment opportunities and thus a flux in the population, which in turn will lead to an increase in demand for residential property and stability in pricing."
7. Upbeat trends
As the market tightens this summer, developers are offering attractive deals to win sales, says Sandrine Loureiro, operations manager of Rocky Real Estate. "Payment plans offering 20-80 or 25-75 schemes have become stretched to instalments over four and five years post handover," says Loureiro. "This is very attractive to some investors. Investors are now looking at quality versus price and location, as well as long-term returns.
"Master communities that are offering lifestyle and quality at a price such as Damac Hills, Nshama, Ellington and Azizi Riviera have received a lot of interest for their value-for-money products. Affordable products, which were not available before, have been launched by companies such as Danube, Azizi and Damac [wherein] clients can purchase a studio from Dh400,000 and a villa from Dh1 million. Owning property is a tangible, solid, long-term investment. Whether the markets go up or down, the asset is always there and offers a regular income, a holiday home or a safe haven."
Make the most of your Cityscape visit
Tips to help achieve your objectives at the show.
* Cityscape is the heartbeat of the real estate market not only in Dubai but also in the region. Like every event, preparation is essential. Following the announcements, checking the exhibitors and planning the visits, as well as registering for conferences and networking events, are of utmost importance.
* As the exhibition is big, it is better to visit the show, not in one day and squeeze everything in, but the entire three days with a proper plan according to your area of interest.
* This year we expect the buyers to show good interest, as there will be new launches. Buyers should have a shortlist of projects within their requirements and budgets. This will allow them to focus on their target properties for a better result.
* The event is also a place to see many real estate professionals. Meetings are intense and require attention. Marketing materials and logistics should not be left to the very last minute.
* The top reason to buy property in Dubai is the trust in the Dubai brand — it is a safe place with regards to political and economic stability. The city offers property ownership, great yields for investors, has a dynamic character and is safe to live in. The city always has new and exciting projects announced one after another. And being a business and leisure hub, it attracts people all around the world, which keeps the demand high.

Here are a few reasons for investors to consider committing to the Dubai real estate sector:
Expo 2020 is coming to Dubai
Dubai is hosting the next World Expo in October 2020. The Expo will attract approximately 25 million visitors from 180 nations. The announcement of the Expo in Dubai has boosted the off-plan property sector. Investors who are buying property near the Expo will receive a high return on investment. The Expo's duration is six months and millions of visitors will need to rent property. The rental demand will be high, enabling landlords the flexibility to increase rents.
Dubai seeks to become happiest city in the world
Dubai created the Ministry of Happiness in 2016. The primary duty of this ministry is to develop programmes and policies to improve the happiness levels of Dubai's residents.
High return on investment
Dubai's real estate market is maturing as the city's population is increasing each year. Investors aware of the growing demographic are wisely purchasing property to supply the boost in rent demand.
Dubai's tourism industry is booming
Dubai's economy incorporates tourism, trade, business services and other industries. The construction of new hotels and real estate projects is a direct result of Dubai's growing tourism industry.
The Museum of the Future
The Museum of the Future allows visitors to experience the future through cutting-edge simulations and interactive exhibits. The museum will include scientific conferences and offer advanced courses on new scientific achievements and trends. The museum will focus on solutions to the top three challenges emerging from climate change: water supply, food security and self-sufficient cities.
Low crime rate
The sense of safety is a major advantage of buying property in Dubai. Minor crimes are also unlikely. Do not worry if you accidently leave your wallet visible in your car. It is highly unlikely to be stolen.
Superior transportation routes
Dubai is continuously advancing its transportation infrastructure. The US-based Hyperloop One is creating an expedited transportation route between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Hyperloop One prepares to launch the world's first operational Hyperloop system, allowing passengers to travel between the emirates in pods at 1,200 km per hour. The project's goal is to provide transportation from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in 12 minutes. Hyperloop One estimates that approximately 4,000 vehicles commute daily from Abu Dhabi to Dubai.
No annual property taxes
Investing in Dubai's real estate market is tax-free. Purchasing a commercial or residential property will not include taxes. Once the property is purchased, owners will not be obliged to pay additional taxes in the future.
Dubai's population is growing
Property project launches in Dubai are estimated to increase as its population grows each year. The Dubai Statistics Centre announced that Dubai's population in January 2016 was 2.4 million and will reach 5.2 million by 2030.
Gourmet restaurants, entertainment
Dubai offers unique experiences with desert safaris, luxurious spas, beaches, yacht communities, skydiving and water parks. The city is also known for its wide selection of gourmet restaurants from each region.

Samana Developers has broken ground on its first real estate project – Samana Greens, with an offer of 7 per cent discount for buyers who make payments through cryptocurrency. The project will come up at Arjan.
The Dh75 million Samana Greens will deliver 131 residential units comprising studio to 2-bedroom apartments. Construction is scheduled to start this month and will be completed in April 2020.
Property buyers will be able to make transactions using the developer's digital currency channel.
Imran Farooq, CEO of Samana Group of Companies, said: "Samana Greens will be based on green building concepts. Customers can choose their preferred mode of payments – be it cash, cheque, credit card, home finance, bank transfer of cryptocurrency."
The project will be fully financed by Samana Developers. Once construction starts, Samana Developers will announce the pricing and payment plan.
In September, the Aston Plaza and Residences development in Dubai Science Park began offering off-plan studios and one- and two-bedroom units starting from around 30, 50 and 70 bitcoin, respectively.
MAG Lifestyle Development said it is ready to accept payments in Islamic cryptocurrencies, including OneGramCoin. The developer also announced in December 2017 a 5 per cent discount for "digital" buyers in any of its eight current real estate projects.
Omniyat Properties made headlines last year when it sold the most expensive apartment in Dubai to a GCC buyer for Dh102 million at the One Palm by Omniyat. It beat the previous sales record for a Dubai apartment of Dh60 million.
The developer now has two more penthouses, a tad smaller, at the project for sale now. "We have 3 penthouses in total, of which the largest has been sold. Two more smaller penthouses costing Dh88 million and Dh91 million are available. We have seen several expressions of interest. But these things take time and we are working on it. Interest is coming in from the GCC, New York, London, Moscow, Australia and Italy. Celebrities and athletes are likely to come on board as well," said Mohammed Hmeid, general manager, Omniyat Properties.
The new owner has commissioned London-based design studio Elicyon to design the interior of the penthouse, which is due for handover towards the end of the year.
"It's in the design process. The triplex penthouse has 20,000 sqft liveable area and a terrace on the top floor spanning 10,000 sqft," said Charu Gandhi, founder and director of Elicyon.
Elicyon has now unveiled two new show apartments at the One Palm. "We are bringing the London aesthetic to Dubai while also paying homage to Arabesque designs. There is a reference to water throughout the design. The view was my brief," added Gandhi.
The British firm has projects such as the One Hyde Park on its resume.
The Dorchester Collection will be managing the apartments at the One Palm which includes around 94 units and will be delivered by the end of this year.
"We have sold up to 70 per cent of the apartments. The average price per sqft at the One Palm is around Dh4,500. Demand has been good. We have a very specific target audience for this project. The smallest unit is around 8,000 sqft. In the beginning, there was more demand for smaller units," observed Hmeid.
Omniyat has started handover of The Opus, designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid, in Business Bay. Fitout work has started on the hotel, which will be operated by ME by Melia. There will also be serviced apartments and office space.
"We are also working on Anwa [reached 23rd floor] in Dubai Maritime City, The Sterling in Downtown Dubai and are doing final touches on The Pad as well. This is going to be a big year for us," Hmeid added.
Omniyat says its projects The Sterling and Langham Place are in the premium mid-market space.
However, the Omniyat executive said the developer currently had no plans for projects outside the UAE. "Our primary focus in the short term will be on Dubai," added Hmeid.

In response to recent media reports, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) has confirmed that developers only need to deposit 20 per cent of the project's value in escrow ahead of launching off-plan sales. They also need to verify ownership of the project and pay its value in full, in addition to receiving all approvals from the competent authorities, according to a statement issued on Thursday.
Sources had told Khaleej Times on Tuesday that a proposal was being mulled which would force developers to launch off-plan sales only once construction had reached the 50 per cent mark. This was to reduce the pace of off-plan launches in Dubai.
But in the latest statement, there is no mention of any plan to raise the 20 per cent limit to 50 per cent as a requirement for developers to launch sales.
Sultan Butti bin Mejren, director-general of the DLD, said: "There is a strong coordination among all relevant government institutions, including the DLD, as well as between developers and various parties in the market to establish confidence among investors and achieve the highest degree of transparency in Dubai's real estate market."
The Land Department's statement said 150 new projects were registered in Dubai during 2017, at a combined value of Dh82 billion and that 90 projects were completed during the period.
