Dubai aquarium 'acrylic panel' sets Guinness record
Dubai, November 1, 2008
Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre in The Dubai Mall, which opens its doors on November 4, has clinched the Guinness World Record for the 'World's Largest Acrylic Panel'.
Measuring 32.88 metres wide (x 8.3 metres high x 750 mm thick) and weighing 245,614 kg, the acrylic viewing panel surpasses the current Guinness World Record holder, Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, at 22.5 metres wide (x 8.2 metres high and 600 mm thick).
The new record is expected to be featured in the upcoming edition of the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010.
The acrylic viewing panel was at the limit of production abilities by major acrylic manufacturers when the project was commissioned.
This implies that the Guinness World Record for the 'World's Largest Acrylic Panel' at Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre is set to stay until industry-approved manufacturing capabilities are redrawn to enable the production of bigger panels.
The viewing panel was commissioned under the supervision of Oceanis Australia Group, the aquarium designer and operator.
At 750 mm thick, the acrylic viewing panel is built to withstand the enormous pressure of 10 million litres of water used in the aquarium, but transparent enough to give visitors clear views of the 33,000 plus marine animals on display.
'This is a terrific Guinness World Record and exemplifies the dedication and passion that make some of our best records,' John Pilley, adjudicator, Guinness World Records said
The record-breaking achievement bears testimony to the sheer magnificence of Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre, a key opening day attraction in The Dubai Mall, said a mall official.
Yousif Al Ali, General Manager, The Dubai Mall said: "Dubai Aquarium & Discovery Centre at The Dubai Mall is setting history with the Guinness World Record for the 'World's Largest Acrylic Panel'. With this record-breaking achievement, we are also highlighting the capabilities of Emaar and Dubai to undertake and execute projects of global significance."
'The aquarium has been one of the most highly anticipated key attractions at The Dubai Mall, as it brings the splendours of the marine world to the people of Dubai. We specially designed the acrylic viewing panel to offer larger-than life views of the sharks, rays and 33,000 living animals on display.'
'The Guinness World Record adds to the world-class experience to this attraction and it's free to view for all our visitors,' he added.
Pilley said, 'Dubai has many exciting world record achievements and now The Dubai Mall will join that illustrious list with the 'Largest Acrylic Panel', once again reiterating the can-do attitude of Dubai.'
The Dubai Mall is one of the world's largest shopping and entertainment destinations. Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre is one of the opening attractions and will feature over 33,000 aquatic animals in due course, representing more than 85 species including sharks and rays.
A 270-degree walkthrough tunnel allows for some incredible close-encounter experiences to delight mall visitors. Above the aquarium is the interactive and educational Discovery Centre, taking the visitor through various aquatic environments.
The aquarium is being developed and operated by Oceanis Australia Group, the world's largest aquarium owner and operator – both by number of customers and volumes of display.
The Dubai Mall has adopted an International Standard of Ethics and Animal Welfare Policy in the development and operation of Dubai Aquarium & Discovery Centre, and is in line with international best practices of animal care and aquarium operation.
With a total internal floor area of 5.9 million sq ft, The Dubai Mall will have 3.77 million sq ft of gross leasable space and host more than 1,200 retail outlets including two anchor department stores, Galeries Lafayette and B

From a side shot, the pole pieces looked like this: x X X x instead of x x x x like most other jazz pickups (especially cheaper ones). Basically, the pole pieces seemed to follow the curve of the strings better. Not sure what they were, but makes me wonder if they aren't actually better than the standard set. Anyone have any idea if there are any differences other than finish? Are the only differrences in the pickups the shape of the pole pieces?

Unlike normal cell phone users, you use your iPhone in a different manner. Apart from keeping in touch with family and friends. Being a business professional, you need to use several other business features of your iPhone. Your iPhone opens a gateway to seamless business integrity.Â
Typically, while on the move, you can check your emails, conduct conference calls and even take a peep on your stock, so your iPhone keeps you connected with the professional world. Well eventually, like every good business professional, you need to travel to various places in and around the world for work purposes. There are many apprehensions while going abroad for a long stay about the perfect allowance of usage of your favorite iPhone in the country you are planning to visit. Now your trip cannot be successful unless you are able to use your iPhone device the same way when you are at home.
Using Your iPhone Overseas Depends on Your Carrier
iPhone works with the carrier you choose while buying the phone. After you decided to get an iPhone, I am sure just like mots people, you had to hustle with all the many offers from the major carriers. Well then, you settled on AT&T/Cingular. Well while many people are worried about loosing connectivity as they travel to different countries, however, activating international roaming is the quick solution to all your problems. iPhone operates on GSM technology, it is also known as Global System of Mobile Communications. Therefore, you will be able to use your iPhone overseas in almost all the countries that support GSM service. More than a hundred countries from the world adapts GSM protocol so be assured that you will continue receiving connectivity throughout your travel abroad.
Frequent Business Travelers to Europe and Asia get excellent GSM services and can use their iPhone without any disturbances. However, there are some precautions that needs to be addressed before you and your favorite iPhone leave your country. Using your cell phone abundantly while traveling abroad attracts huge charges against international roaming and if you are not aware of that then it will be a burdensome surprise once you come back home.
The reason is simple and practical. You have an American number, when you carry that number abroad; any call you make or receive becomes an international call and attracts the tariff according to international plan charges. So voluminous use of your iPhone whilst abroad might cost you a few hundred dollars easily. So it becomes essential to confirm and migrate to a different plan that saves on international usage. prior to travelling and using your iPhone overseas.
AT&T/Singular has worked out economical international calling and data plans that suits overseas usage. These plans offer a freedom from worrying about international call charges and roaming fees. In fact opting for an international data plan is essential. If you fail to adhere to these alterations, once you come back, a burdensome carrier bill worth extra few hundred dollars will be waiting for you. However, if you opt in for international usage plan in advance before leaving, then you can save yourself from many troubles. All you need is little planning and a timely action.

Meet Mike: An Entrepreneur Who Turned a Childhood Dream into a Profitable Startup
Mike Fishtal, the founder of Pixel Academy had an unsual childhood. Like most children of the 80's, Mike loved video games. But unlike most kids, Mike not only wanted to play video games, he wanted to create them.
"My father was a computer programmer" Mike explains, "so I started learning about code on a old Radio Shack computer. Soon after I got a Commodore 64 computer and fell in love with the classics like King's Quest and Carmen San Diego. I was addicted."
Mike read everything he could get his hands on about creating games, even pouring through a 2,000 page programming book just to learn more. But regardless of how hard he tried, the task of learning how to create the games he loved was just too much for someone his age.
Mike still pursued his passion for coding and 3D design as hobbies, but after graduating college wound up taking a job at Nickelodeon where he began working.
Little did he know that job would bring him right back to being a kid itching to code video games.
Aligning Passion with a Profitable Outcome
Mike credits his time at Nickelodeon for helping him to realize that his dream career not only existed, but could propel him into worlds he never thought possible. Mike was pushed head-first into the world of 3D game design and tasked with teaching himself the 3D design process as part of a team.
This incredible learning environment was a phenomenal incubator for Mike's creative talent. He went on to become the lead designer of Nicktropolis – the most popular children's virtual world of its time.
Mike credits his understanding of kid's mindsets and unfailing love for all things fun for his ability to create such a beloved game – he considers himself a kid at heart and loved every day of his time at Nickelodeon.
Turning Childlike Passion into a Grown Up Career
Mike's time at Nickelodeon and the success of Nicktroplis brought him right back to his passion of being a kid learning to code the games he wanted to play.
"As a kid I knew how exciting it would be to create video games" Mike explains "but as an adult I thought about how great it would be to teach other kids to create their own games… without having to read 2,000 page books to learn!
This discovery pushed Mike to find a way to educate kids on creative digital technology, and he left the corporate world to launch Pixel Academy. From using 3D glasses to creating video games and learning guitar skills digitally, he created a full schedule of classes for kids and travels around the NY area teaching pop-up classes.
Mike has turned to Fundable to raise his initial funding to get the project fully off the ground. His initial launch will help him secure a permanent home for Pixel Academy and set his dream in motion.
"Pixel Academy is my vision to bring the exciting world of digital media creation to the next generation of kids. And it also lets me be a kid, too, and play just like I did when I was 11."

Well, they finally decided what they wanted next. The REMFs, that is. Another encampment got overrun at night by the usual treezan/fairy/dryad mix, apparently with arachneans scouting and sighting for them. That was bad. Our orders? "Counter strike." Period.
WTF? No objectives, no tactical imperatives, nothing. Just counter strike as a tit-for-tat thing. Infuriating, and wasteful. We are due to be rotated back in two weeks, but they want us to make a morale hit without an objective.
Well, I don't do things that way. If they didn't give an objective, I'll have to invent one. They struck to either prove something, maybe the working of their alliance, or for some information. The damn REMFs just want a basic frontal assault with lots of flash and bang. Dumb. They'll get it, but that will be a diversion. The sneakiest of our troop will raid their encampment, release any of our own that may captive and alive, and find out what they have that's new. My kind of raid. Maybe we can fracture their little alliance, too.
Now, to scout, prepare and brief. They want this thing soon. Initially the idiots had said "go hit them now", but I pointed out that we would get better results if we took a day and planned the strike. Gods, they only grudgingly allowed that. I wish my father was in my chain of command - he wouldn't have been in such a hurry.
Ye gods, what a nightmare. Our scouts found their encampment, all right. There are arachnean webs smack in the middle of it, supported by elder treezans. They apparently have prisoners still living from the raid, wrapped in webbing as food for fairies and arachneans. Very, very bad. Most arachneans don't come to this area, preferring darker forests, but these are here.
The arachneans are somewhat light sensitive, preferring to operate during the darker hours, or in darker places - they are slightly day-blind. Their queens have rule over them, they feed on blood and plant sap, and their mating is... violent. They are also somewhat hard to kill. Fortunately, they usually don't engage in large numbers, often no more than a single queen's reign. This is at least two or three reigns.
I hope to hell we can pull this off. We barely have enough troops, but if we can retrieve the hostages and take out a queen and a bunch of treezans, we'll have done fairly well. I still don't know the easiest way to kill an arachnean.

I believe a well-designed mudroom should look good and also provide total organization for all your outdoor stuff. After designing so many IKEA mudrooms I became curious about them. With a little research I found they were once just a stopgap to prevent mud trailing into the house on the bottom of your boots; mudrooms and boot rooms are now desirable add-ons to every modern home. A mudroom, as it is known in the US and Australia, or boot room as it is called in the UK, is the utility space between the outside and inside of your home. A messy (and possibly wet and muddy) collection of bags, coats and outdoor gear can be an eyesore and a tripping hazard. Not a great way to introduce your home to visitors. My IKD-designed mudrooms and boot rooms use IKEA products like SEKTION cabinets, RINGHULT doors and MAXIMERA drawers, so you can enjoy streamlined and welcoming storage solutions that take pride of place at your house entrance.
Are you aiming for a clean, midcentury modern look to enhance your living space or do you just want practical storage? At IKD we like to provide both practicality and good looks in our designs. The following two IKD-designed mudrooms use IKEA kitchen cabinets and doors.
Mudroom #1
At IKD we wanted to create a sleek and streamlined mudroom in a 180″ wide space, using a budget that came in at under $3,500. Using IKEA SEKTION cabinets and RINGHULT doors we've designed a compact mudroom that allows extra space for a hat and coat stand – IKEA's KNIPPE stand is ideal at $24.99. We always aim to leave room space beyond the wall units or the wall can look too cluttered up. My design has a midcentury modern feel, perfect for style-savvy contemporary homes, and it's practical too. RINGHULT doors are easy to keep clean and also easy on the eye. A small seating area provides a place to sit while removing muddy boots and shoes and wood-finish integral cubbies add a hint of warmth to the overall look, as well as all-important storage space. They also add display areas so if you want to emphasize the design element you can include ornaments and artefacts that give a sophisticated finish to your storage units. A picture on the opposite wall adds a personal touch to the overall design. (IKEA has a good range of wall art, like ELDEVIK, TRILLING and BILD posters). My Mudroom 1 design comes in at $3,356, which includes IKEA total price of $1,764 plus the cost of extra Items and custom units.
Mudroom #2
We also wanted to design an IKEA mudroom for around $2,000. This slightly smaller design at 150″, stretches from wall to wall, and incorporates a window. Well-designed mudrooms need to fit around your available space. There is no leftover space around the units, so an open area in the middle gives cohesion to the design: When the entire wall is taken up with units filled with your stuff, it can be too much to take in. The view through the window balances the coats, umbrellas and paraphernalia hanging on hooks to the right and items stored in the shelving unit to the left. We intended to give a warming, tranquil feel to the organization of SEKTION wall cabinets, MAXIMERA drawers and GRIMSLOV wood-finish doors. Storage boxes in the shelving cubbies (like BATTING boxes and baskets) complement the finished design, while providing extra places to put things. Adding a cushion to the middle section beneath the window could provide more comfortable seating. IKEA total price + custom units + extra items = $2,120.
My five extra pointers for making IKEA mudrooms work:
1. Wipeable cupboards, cubbies, cabinetry: Essentially a mudroom/boot room needs to be clean – clean design-lines, clean room. So we make sure our mudrooms are easy to keep clean and tidy as well as easy on the eye.
2. A mixture of low-level units for boots, shoes and storage baskets as well as high-level units for hanging coats etc and for storing items that you don't use all the time. Eye-level storage is ideal for everyday items. A good mudroom makes effective use of all available space.
3. Hooks and hanging space: If you like you can personalize hooks so family members have their own hanging space. Hooks give quick access and are easy to use.
4. A seating element/bench: When you need to take off outdoor shoes and boots which may be wet/muddy you need to be able to sit down.
5. Practical flooring: This area is your home's point-of-entry from the great outdoors. Mud and dirt will be trailed inside and your flooring needs to be non-slippery, easy to clean and durable.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a fast paced shooter that focuses on plot just as much as popping heads. Its cinematic presentation draws heavily Hollywood's classic heist movies, James Cameron's action blockbusters and, of course, the goofy buddy film genre. The action heroes in this game aren't going to be running for governor anytime soon, though. Two death row inmates, a hardened soldier of fortune and a sarcastic psychopath are forced to work together to pull off robberies, breakouts and even fight in an all-out revolution.
Kane may be a veteran mercenary with decades of experience, but with Lynch for a sidekick, things don't always go according to plan. As it turns out, you can't always rely on a psychopath without his medication. But don't worry—this time, we've got your back.
In this Kane & Lynch: Dead Men strategy guide, you'll find:

Girish and Mehul are going to India next week but Aanya and I are staying home. It was my decision to not go this year as it's so expensive to go consecutive years but just about now I'm kicking myself. We plan to go next year as a family and hopefully stars will align for my little sister's wedding at the same time. Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed! I will miss them so much..I'm already dreading the next 2 weeks. I have filled my Netflix queue with all the chick flicks I want to watch while he's away. He always makes fun of my selection in movies. I will be sure to go in great detail with him on the phone while he's away and he will have to listen. Haha. Sweet revenge.
No pics today. I added a sidebar nails slideshow that I will update periodically. I'm not 100% happy with the way the blog looks currently. It has been so long since I updated the template html. I will need to figure it out again. Also might make up a banner if I feel extra creative.

Some people asked me about how I crocheted the Flower Garden Granny Square Bag handles. So I write a quick tutorial today.
Hook : 4mm (Japanese size7) for 5" square.
Yarn : 4 ply worsted weight cotton yarn ( Sugar'n Cream from Lily).
Row1 : ch 71, sc in the second ch from the end. sc in each ch to the end (70 sc total).
Row2&3 : ch1, sc in each sc from previous row to the end.
Thank you for your interest in my Flower Garden Granny Square pattern. Please do not forget to upload the pictures of your finished FGGS Bag to FGGS Flickr group! You can share any items made with the FGGS pattern. I am looking forward to seeing them!!
That is it for now, but I am going to make another post today for telling you a sewing tip. Thank you for reading. Happy crocheting!


text: Formed over eons by lava boiling up from the sea floor, the rocky Galapagos are inhabited by an odd assortment of plants and animals that have developed peculiar adaptations for survival; e.g., dark-skinned iguanas, able to spend more time in cold water searching for food, ``evolved into a new type of iguana--the marine iguana.'' Crisp, clear close-up photos in full color add to the appeal, but lack captions and scale. An attractive introduction to evolution and to some unusual life forms. Scientific names not given; no index. (Nonfiction. 8-10)

Welcome to Day #6 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan , we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes. Tune in each day starting with Monday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, January 25. Today is our final day of #AppetizerWeek. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have! Should we make it an annual event? I think so!
Come game day, I love to munch throughout the entire game… I'm not one for the whole set down and eat all the food at one time. I'm a muncher. Chips and crackers are a great munchie and when you can make your own and flavor them any way you want… SCORE! I mean we're talking saving dollars and scoring big ha! Everything is just better when you can make it yourself.
I recently had bought a little 8 ounce container of snack crackers that were amazing. My first thought as "Oh my goodness, these would so freakin' easy to make"… needless to say…… DUH I had to try and remake them! The ones that I bought were pretty salty, lots of dill and a hint of Parmesan cheese all tossed together. Delicious! Now, the ones I made have a little less salt, same amount of dill, and more Parmesan… granted they're not identical, but they still taste great!
Granted there's nothing better than some hot dip and chips, these snack crackers are sure to please and super easy to make! You can whip them up and have them setting on the coffee table in less than 5 minutes!
- 4 cups oyster crackers
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (light flavor)
- 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 teaspoons dill weed
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning Blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
- In a medium bowl combine all ingredients, mixing well to coat the crackers.
- Serve!
- **Yields 4 cups**

text: One of the biggest challenge for the SED models is to make them applicable to the large statistical samples of panchromatic data that are now becoming available for the local universe galaxies, like for example the GAMA survey (Driver et al. (2009)), the Herschel ATLAS survey (Eales et al. (2009)) and GALEX (Martin et al. (2010)). In the future we will also need to re-calibrate our SED models to make them applicable to the distant universe, using data from the next generation observatories, like SPICA (Swinyard et al. (2009)), ALMA, JWST and VLT. At the same time we will need to include dust physics in the simulations for galaxy formations within a fully cosmological context. Realistic simulations of disk galaxies are now being for the first time produced (see Brook et al. (2010)) and, within a few years, we expect this to be routinely done. It is therefore crucial to incorporate all known physics related to sources and sinks of grains in galaxies and in the surrounding IGM, as well as the cooling and heating mechanisms involving grains. Only then we will be able to make reliable predictions, which will directly constrain theories for the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Last week, I wrote about a cultural and religious custom where we shaved Hassan's birth hair. I had quite a few comments and curious emails asking about this practice as well as the recipe for the carrot pudding I made to celebrate and remember this day.
200 gms butter
12 large carrots- finely shredded
1 cup whole milk
150 ml sweet condensed milk
3 tbs sugar
1 packed cup khoya (dried milk)
2 tbs cardamom powder
sliced pistachios to garnish
In a heavy bottom saucepan, melt the butter and saute the carrots until all the water from the carrots has evaporated and the oil from the butter splits and forms a layer on top. Add whole milk, condensed milk, sugar, and khoya. Simmer on medium heat until the carrots have cooked and the mixture has become dry. Add cardamom powder and serve hot sprinkled with pistachios.
Note- You need to stir the mixture every so often so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Amount of condensed milk can vary depending on how sweet the carrots are. Start with 100ml and slowly add the rest until desired sweetness is achieved.
Serves 8

Hi everyone!!
As the warm summer days are coming to an end and it is now officially September. I can't believe how fast our summer went by this year!! Can you?? I took advantage of the last week of August to relax and enjoy the summer days outside when possible with day trips to the beach and more. How did you enjoy your last week of summer??
While summer isn't quite over yet despite the cooler weather already and feeling like Fall weather. Even though Fall is one of my fave seasons coming up & excited for. One of my fave activities in the summer is attending food festivals. This summer already been to a few food festivals and love sampling new foods to share with you, my readers. As I usually go quite a few food festivals, I will share with you my fave ones (food festivals) and you can always check out my Instagram account @SweetBFoodie24 to see my stories and photos for all the food festivals that I attend. Trying to post a bit more on my Instagram stories when I can. Hope you guys enjoy them!
I love attending food festivals and discovering new foods and learning from vendors!! If you have a suggestion of a food festival that I haven't attend yet, please let me know. You can leave your comments below! Thanks, I always appreciate any comments and suggestions from you guys!
On Saturday, August 19, 2017 – I attended my 2nd Vegan festival of the summer and this is also my 2nd time attending the Vegan Food & Drink Festival with my sis who is also my foodie partner going to food festivals together. I love sharing my food festival experiences and especially with my sis is a great person who I also call my best friend that I'm so happy that we get to share these experiences together. It is becoming a tradition for us now going to this particular food festival sharing our love for vegan foods! As you know or if you didn't know, I have lactose intolerance so I enjoy non-dairy products now. Almost a year in a few months where I discovered I am lactose, I am still learning and discovering new dairy-free products and vegan lifestyle. This is a great Vegan festival to discover new vegan foods or re-discover your fave vegan foods!!
If you haven't been to the Vegan Food & Drink Festival before, here are some basic information about it:
- This is the 3rd Annual Vegan Food & Drink Festival
- Date: Saturday, August 19, 2017 (One Day Festival)
- This event is also hosted in Chicago (June 10, 2017) and New York (October 1, 2017)
- Time: 11am – 7pm
- Location: Fort York Garrison Commons (same as last year)
- What Does the Festival Offer: vegan comfort food, cold drinks, and live entertainment
- Cost: $10 (Early Bird Price) & $20 (At the Door) -> I bought mines in advance during the Early Bird Pricing
- Vendors: From local & visiting vendors including some USA vendors this year
I was excited to attend my 2nd time at this large Vegan Food & Drink Festival this summer with lots of different vendors to choose from. This year, we got lucky with the weather and it ended up being a warm great summer day for a food festival unlike last year where it rained majority of the day. It was a lot easier to enjoy delicious vegan foods without your umbrella lol!
If you haven't been to this large Vegan Food & Drink Festival before, I suggest planning ahead and checking out the vendors online and research them before going and get an idea which ones you like to visit. For me, it was still tough to choose and narrow down certain vendors to try. I love the large selection of vendors though to choose from just makes it hard to decide lol! I ended up sampling majority of the vendors I wanted to and some I didn't and hopefully next time I could. 😊
I felt that this year the layout of the festival was better in terms of flow where the vendors were located and making use of the large Fort York Garrison Commons. There was a bit more seating areas this year. I love the signages that they had around the festival grounds this year a bit more than last year and it created a great addition to the festival. Check out below their famous "Vegan" sign that I took with my sister. I been noticing that most events and festivals are doing the huge word signage ever since the Toronto sign at City Hall started it. I love them though!! 😀
Overall, a great summer day sampling and discovering lots of new vegan foods along with some shopping in between eating lol!!
At the Vegan Food & Drink Festival, besides all the delicious vegan foods, there are also clothing and accessory vendors. One of the vendors, The Imperative is Toronto's 1st 100% all-vegan shop and the creators of the Vegan Food & Drink Festival itself. It was great to see their merchandise at the festival as I haven't been to the retail store myself. I ended up getting a cute tee and a button (photo below).
Their retail store offer vegan and cruelty-free products and there were quite a few items at the festival showcasing their products from the store. At their retail store, they offer from t-shirts to beauty products to housewares and more. I'm looking forward to checking out their retail shop one day to see myself what they have to offer!
For more information on The Imperative, you can visit their Facebook page @VeganImperative and Instagram @theveganimperative. Their retail store is located on 1332 Queen St. West, Toronto, Ontario.
One of my fave jewelry vendors was there back at the Vegan Food & Drink Festival, Jewels by SJB. If you haven't checked out Jewels by SJB, you definitely should as I love her unique and beautiful handmade jewelry. Sue is from Toronto, ON and has a collection of hand forged, cruelty free jewels and creating beautiful detailed pieces. She uses genuine gemstones that includes .925 sterling silver and 14K gold fill metal. She is also a vegan who shares her message through her jewelry.
Of course, I couldn't resist getting one of her beautiful unique pieces and ended up getting a beautiful necklace – her Gem Drop Necklace with the Purple Amethyst.
For more information on Jewels by SJB, you can visit her website at www.jewelsbysjb.com. You can also follow her on Facebook @jewelsbysjb and Instagram @jewelsbysjb.
Finally what my fave foods were at the festival, I know you guys have been waiting for this. Go check out my faves & delicious photos. 😊
My Fave Savoury foods from the Vegan Food & Drink Festival are:
1.Boon Burger – I was excited to see Boon Burger as one of the vendors at this festival as I discovered Boon Burger a few weeks ago and visited their Burlington location and loved it! Of course, I had to sample one of their delicious vegan burgers as there are no locations in Toronto. If you haven't heard of Boon Burger, it is Canada's First All Vegan Burger Café. Boon Burger offers "100% cruelty free food, that tasted delicious and that was ultimately a better choice for our health as well as the environment." They are opening a new location in the Fall 2017 in Hamilton. Hoping one day for a Toronto location, but for now I can always venture over to Burlington for the best vegan burgers.
I had their Festival Burger made with black bean patty at the festival with their sweet Peach Chutney sauce. It was delicious!! As I'm not a full vegan, you can't tell that the patty is made from black bean and I love that this is a healthier version of an actual meat burger. I love their vegan burgers!! After trying their burgers a few weeks ago, I'm still impressed with Boon Burger and their high quality food along with their friendly customer service at the booth. I highly recommend checking out Boon Burger if you have a chance in Burlington or Hamilton (opening Fall 2017). You can check their website for other locations (Barrie, Guelph).
For more information on Boon Burger, you can visit their website at www.boonburger.ca.
You can follow them on their social media networks on Facebook Burlington one @BoonBurgerBurlington, Twitter Manitoba location one @BoonBurger and Instagram Burlington one @BoonBurgerBurlington. Check their website for the location social media you are looking for they have different ones.
2.Champs Diner – My 2nd fave savoury dish from Champs Diner who is one of the US vendors that came to Toronto. Champs Diner is from Brooklyn, New York serving New York's fave all-vegan diner with American's comfort food for about 5 years now. I was excited to also try some of their foods as I heard good review about them.
I had their Tofu Benedict Waffle Fries only as I was getting full by the time I reached their booth and I'm hoping next time I get to try their vegan burger too. But I simply love their Tofu Benedict Waffle Fries with fried tofu, fried ham, cherry tomatoes and homemade Hollandaise sauce. I'm not a fan of Hollandaise sauce too much, but it was light and not overpowering the dish, which I loved about it.
When I visit New York next time, now I know where to go for delicious and comfort American all-vegan diner food. I can't wait to visit their actual diner!! If you are one of my readers in the USA, then I highly recommend you go visit their diner and try their delicious and homemade vegan foods.

My Fave Desserts from the Vegan Food & Drink Festival are:
1.Chimp Treats – I love my ice cream, but now that I'm dairy free it's a bit harder to find dairy free ice cream. I discovered Chimp Treats at the festival and they have their Nice Cream frozen dessert that are 100% made from fruits. I love their booth too – very colourful and cute designs! It is a creamy frozen dessert made entirely from bananas. They have their three flavours: classic Banana, Mango Banana and Strawberry Banana. It is fat free, low calorie and no sugar added.
I tried their Mango Banana sample at the festival and loved it!! It is soft and creamy with the right amount of sugar and I can taste the mango in there. I definitely loved it!! I highly recommend you try it too. I can't wait to get my own pint of Nice Cream at a grocery store! Will be checking out where they sell them.
For more information on Chimp Treats, you can visit their website at www.chimptreats.com.
You can follow them on their social media networks through Facebook @ChimpTreats, Twitter @ChimpTreats and Instagram @ChimpTreats.
2.Glory Hole Doughnuts – One of my fave pastry dessert at the show is definitely Glory Hole Doughnuts. Their doughnuts are hand-made and fresh everyday with real and local ingredients! They make 3 different types of doughnuts – yeast, cake and vegan. They rotate their flavours seasonally.
I was lucky enough to sample their Vegan Hibiscus Berry Glazed doughnut – it had a hint of rose tea infused flavour in it and loved how moist, soft and the right amount of sugar in the doughnut. It wasn't too sweet!!
If you are looking for delicious and fresh Vegan doughnuts, I definitely recommend you guys check out Glory Hole Doughnuts at their bakeshop in Parkdale area of Toronto downtown.
For more information on Glory Hole Doughnuts, you can visit their website at www.gloryholedoughnuts.com.
You can follow them on their Social Media on Facebook @GloryHoleDoughnuts, Twitter @GHoleDoughnuts and Instagram @GloryHoleDoughnuts.
Another refreshing and fresh frozen dessert that I didn't mention is Happy Pops. They are all natural ice pops made from real fruit and low calorie. They are also vegan and dairy free ice pops. I also sampled one of their ice pops, I got the Mango flavour one not surprised since I love anything mango…😊 I loved it! You can taste the actual flavour of the fruit of mango and love how fresh it was with low calorie of sugar. I also recommend Happy Pops as well to try it yourself!
For more information on Happy Pops, you can visit their website at www.happypops.ca.
You can follow them on their Social Media by Facebook @HappyPopsTO, Twitter @HappyPopsTO and Instagram @HappyPopsTO.
It has been another successful and delicious vegan summer festival that I attended with my sister. With summer coming to an end, I had enjoyed this summer attending to several foodie festivals by sampling new foods, interacting with vendors, learning about new food products and the outdoor atmosphere.
It will be a busy next few months before end of the year and I'm excited for next month Food Bloggers of Canada food conference in Ottawa where this will be my 3rd year attending. I'm looking forward to sharing with you my readers my experience at the conference. Also working on something new for 2018 so stay tuned!!
Don't forget to stay connected with me for the latest updates, next blog post, and my foodie adventures through Twitter @SweetBFoodie 24 and Instagram @SweetBFoodie24 (if you have noticed, I been posting a bit more on my IG stories so go check that out esp when I'm at a food event..😉 )
For now, let's get ready for Fall weather with delicious warm desserts and beautiful colourful leaves scenery while still enjoying the sunny warm Fall days. In this summery festival blog, remembering what hot summer days are like enjoying delicious vegan foods. Back on my hunt to discover new bakeries or restaurants and new travel ideas to share with you guys!
Until next time….

David Mirkin
Rating MPAAPG-13 for irreverent humor throughout
Homer Simpson must save the world from a catastrophe he himself created. It all begins with Homer, his new pet pig, and a leaky silo full of droppings--a combination that triggers a disaster the likes of which Springfield has never experienced. As Marge is outraged by Homer's monumental blunder, a vengeful mob descends on the Simpson household. The family makes a narrow escape, but is soon divided by both location and conflict. The Springfield citizenry has every reason to be out for Simpson blood. The calamity triggered by Homer has drawn the attention of U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger and Environmental Protection Agency head Russ Cargill. "You know sir," Cargill tells the president, "when you made me head of the EPA, you were applauded for appointing one of the most successful men in America to the least successful agency in government. And why did I take the job? Because I'm a rich man who wanted to give something back. Not the money, but something." That "something" is a devil's plan to contain the disaster. As the fates of Springfield and the world hang in the balance, Homer embarks on a personal odyssey of redemption--seeking forgiveness from Marge, the reunion of his splintered family, and the salvation of his hometown.

Kent - La Belle Epoque
Sweater - eBay | Jeans - Nelly | Boots - Seppälä | Faux fur - Asos | Bag - Argentina (Falabella)
Mitäs tykkäätte asusta?
Before the posts about Italy I wanted to share an outfit from last weekend with you! Before travelling I bought a huge faux fur scarf at Asos and it turned out to be an excellent purchase. The winter seems to be gone by now, but in my opinion this scarf suits best for spring, combined with e.g. a cute blouse or a leather jacket. I combined it with a white loose fit sweater, black jeans and simple accessories, and I really liked the outfit very much! Although I wasn't quite ready to go out wearing only a sweater yet, so I warmed myself up with a cozy white coat.
Pd. I'm beyond addicted to the new single "La Belle Epoque" by Kent! Kent has been one of my favourite bands for years now and I own three of their albums, from which "Vapen & Ammunition" is still one of my favourite albums ever. My favourite song by them is still the beautiful "999", but this new single sounds so good that I just might have to buy their new album when it's released in April!

Real Salt Lake has sold its local online streaming rights to KSL, but its TV contract remains unchanged.
The new deal does not affect the team's local TV deal with KMYU. RSL recently renewed its contract with that station, which will continue to air games through 2020. But local fans also will be able to watch the games free online at KSL.com and on the KSL app.
"We're really excited," said Trey Fitz-Gerald, RSL's vice president of broadcasting and public relations. "We think this is a big step forward for us as the TV landscape changes."
RSL's local TV broadcasts will remain the same, airing in three-hour blocks on KMYU, with a 30-minute pregame and a 30-minute postgame.
The same coverage will stream online — which means that fans will see KUTV sportscaster David James doing play-by-play, with Brian Dunseth doing the color commentary, on the KSL app and KSL.com.
KMYU and KUTV are owned by Sinclair Broadcasting.
KSL will also stream Utah Royals FC, Real Monarchs and a number of RSL Academy matches without pre- and postgame shows.
RSL owner Dell Loy Hansen said the deal will make it possible for fans to "be connected around the clock to our club, our players and our coaches, 24/7 from the palm of their hands."
And KSL's vice president and general manager, Tanya Vea, promised the three-year deal — which coincides with the recently renewed RSL-KMYU agreement — "will ensure that [fans] have instant and enhanced access to RSL."
Real Salt Lake will produce the games and provide the program to KMYU and KSL.
"People will have instantaneous access to RSL, Monarchs, Royals and the Academy," Fitz-Gerald said. "Not only live games, but a lot of ancillary video content."
In addition to that ancillary content, the deal includes:
• A weekly coach's show — "The Mike Petke Show" — that will be hosted by Dunseth.
• A weekly magazine show titled "OnFrame" that will stream Tuesdays throughout the season beginning Feb. 27. Dunseth will host, and the show will feature Bill Riley (who does RSL's play-by-play on the radio), sideline reporter Rebecca Cade from KSTU and appearances by Royals coach Laura Harvey and Monarchs coach Mark Briggs.
The games will stream only in Utah and a few other areas — Boise, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Reno — that are part of Real Salt Lake's TV territory. In other parts of the United States and in other countries, KSL's stream will be geoblocked because of the MLS TV and streaming contracts.
As has been the case, any RSL game that airs nationally on Fox, Fox Sports 1 or ESPN will not be available on a local outlet, either television or streaming. Games that air on Univision, however, will continue to air on KMYU and will be streamed on KSL.com and the KSL app.
And KSL Classifieds will be a hub for selling individual game tickets.
Real Salt Lake opens the MLS regular season on March 3 at FC Dallas.

"Michael Ciron just wanted his morning paper. Instead, when he exited the house, the 80-year-old Long Island man soon found himself in an eight-foot sinkhole on his front lawn."
When you are 80-freaking-years-old just getting out of bed in the morning is a challenge, if you are able to accomplish this task without twisting your back or soiling your drawers you count yourself lucky.
An elderly person treasures routine above everything else, he doesn`t want any surprises. The last thing a senior citizen wants is to walk outside his front door to pick up his newspaper, and fall into a sinkhole.
Cirion screamed for help and his daughter called the police, thankfully the gentleman wasn`t injured. I don`t mean to poke fun at Cirion for screaming, if I fell into a sinkhole I would cry like a schoolgirl who is being chased by Dr. Phil on crack.
Kudos to the firefighters who rescued this delightful and brave gentleman. Let`s hope that Cirion will have no more unpleasant surprises.

There are a few triggers to my feelings these days:
- My friend Trillwing
is anxiously awaiting word re: a campus interviewjust received an offer of employment for a t-t job, years after taking a somewhat-tenuous staff position.
- My friend BrightStar has been reflecting on the plight of highly qualified, talented, and capable PhDs seeking jobs on the tenure track.
- My friend Mamae in Translation is dealing with the liminality of her husband's career and her own state as recent PhD/mother/expat/seeker.
- A friend from real life (whom I'm coaching informally) is struggling with a decision to shirk off a rather unsatisfying career as a public school math teacher, and wondering where it will land him.
- And finally, the beginning of my transition from lone researcher with some funding, to owner and director of a research firm with a staff of five, and two funded projects to sustain us for a couple years.
By necessity, I consider my state, test the wind, and wonder what range of freedom I embrace as I set the sails for a new journey. Next week, I fly to meet with my agency technical lead for a new project on a contract I've just received. I wonder at just what he'll expect me to deliver, and whether he'll be satisfied with my proposed approach. What a world of difference, to muse that if I lost the $70,000 this "little" contract represents, I'd be fine any way.
I have now an income easily more than twice what I might have expected (and been happy with) as a freshly hired assistant professor just two or three years ago. I have every reason to believe that this state is secure for at least the next two years (not too different from what I might have expected pre-tenure). I am, on my own, responsible for hiring and supervising a handful of employees, paying them what is in line with reasonable expectations, especially considering that the cost of living here is 15% below the national average.
Truth be told, my commitments are to my research more than to any salary, they are to my family more than any particular career path. Part of me wonders if I too hastily dropped out of the academic race, whether I might not have gotten a tenure-track offer somewhere somewhen.
But I forget how happy I am, how free I am to pursue my own research, how much better compensated I am, how I am able to decide where I live and when or if I'll move, and how much control I have over all those factors. I forget how many committee meetings I don't have sit in on, how I can avoid the worries over tenure, how if a coworker rubs me the wrong way, I have the power to redress it.
Sure, the life of an entrepreneur isn't free of worries. I worry about the path this venture will take. I struggle with a vision for the business, not just the challenges of research for its own sake. I work to balance exciting and meaningful research with the need to produce saleable products. So far, I avoid the draw of seeking outside investment. I fear that an investor with money to put in may be primarily concerned with taking money out. But how long can I sustain this on my own? How long will I be able to attract R&D funding?
But these new worries are my own. I own them with my very being. I am myself, more wholly than ever I was in academia. And here too I am an outsider. Happily enough so!

New City Food Pantry Ministry
New City provides emergency food during the week to families and individuals in our city who need a couple days for food to get them by until their next pay check. Each family that comes is welcomed, prayed for, and encouraged to join us in worship.
This is literally "a cup of cold water" in Jesus' name for many in our community and can be a gateway to the Gospel, to those who are 'harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd'.

Despite naps, aperitifs and sarcasm coming at him from all quarters, Inspector Alvarez brings criminality to its knees, along with the Mallorcan justice system.
After a pair of young lovers are run down on a curve leading to the baronial Kent estate of Cyril Tyler, Mr. Tyler and his dented Bentley hightail it through the Chunnel and over to Mallorca. Inspector Enrique Alvarez is called on to identify the man, inspect his car and report his findings to his browbeating supervisor, Superior Chief Salas, who will alert the Brits. But Tyler complicates matters by getting shot twice in the gut in his Mallorcan villa, and that case falls in Alvarez's lap too. The loathed Tyler offended many husbands by bedding their wives, treated his help with disdain and lived as if only his needs mattered. The suspects include two English couples who stormed in and out of Tyler's house that fateful day and a certain deliciously sexy married Frenchwoman who came and went as she pleased. Amid siestas, home-cooked meals and sips from the bottle in his desk drawer, Salas's harassed underling manages to connect the dots, discount an alibi, disprove a confession and resolve matters in keeping with his personal moral code.
One of the better Alvarez cases, proving that even after 30-plus escapades (An Instinctive Solution, 2008, etc.), Jeffries and his laid-back sleuth can make you long for a Mallorcan holiday.

NYU Abu Dhabi is committed to the principles of shared governance (NYU Faculty Handbook, May 13, p. 12) and has established a variety of representative bodies and institutional procedures for their implementation.
NYUAD Faculty Council is a deliberative body that discusses all matters relating to policy and curriculum that are of interest or concern to the faculty. It meets three times a semester and its decisions and recommendations are recorded and forwarded to the University leadership.
Attendance and participation at the Faculty Council is open to all members of faculty (T/TT, contract, Affiliates, Visiting), and to administration (President, VC, Deputy VC, Provost, Vice Provost, Deans, Associate Deans, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs), Library representatives (two), postdoc representatives (two), and student representatives (Chair of Student Council plus an additional representative, present for unreserved business only).
The Provost of NYUAD and the Chair of the Faculty Council Steering Committee (FCSC) jointly chair the Faculty Council. The FCSC is an advisory committee that provides a bridge between the senior academic administration and the Faculty Council.
|Jeffrey Timmons
|Chair, Social Science
|Laila Familiar
|Representative, Arts and Humanities
|Anthony Tzes
|Representative, Engineering
|Federico Camia
|Representative, Science
|Maya Kesrouny
|Representative, at-large
The steering committee normally meets weekly; twice a month the body is joined by the Provost and/or Vice Chancellor. Other members of the academic leadership attend by invitation. The NYUAD Faculty Forum is a faculty-only venue to allow the faculty to collectively explore ideas and concerns in a less formal setting than the Faculty Council. It meets four times each semester.
