The Tongsai Bay is located on the paradise island of Koh Samui. This five star property is tucked away exclusively with its own private little beach. The resort proves itself as a perfect getaway among the natural surrounding of Samui Island. All 83 rooms in a vast area of 25 acres of land surrounded by tropical nature, offer sea view with 4 main types of accommodation namely Beachfront Suites, Cottages Suites, Tongsai Grand Villas and Tongsai Pool Villas. Apart from the standard room amenities, each unit has a spacious terrace with a bathtub and other open-air facilities to ensure a perfect leisure stay. A range of facilities the resort provides to maximize guests' relaxation including Spa with sauna room and massage treatment programs. This eco-friendly resort truly offers hospitality, privacy and a beautiful location.
Tongsai Bay is a fabulous resort, we booked a seaview room in the main hotel but were ugraded to a seaview cottage which was very nice,it was nice hearing the sea every minute of teh day along with the beautiful sunrises. The staff is very friendly and helpful and will go out of their way to make things perfect for you. The resturants had very nice Thai and Western food choices. The pool was wonderful, our 4 yr old had a great time learning to swim. Only negative comment is that the beach is grainy and hard on the feet, but this is out of their control. The best part of Tongsai Bay is its remote location, it very quiet and a peaceful place to relax, nightlife is a short 10 min drive (400baht) away. Planning to return next year.

One of the very few resorts on Ko Samui with its own private beach.
The Tongsai Bay is splendidly located in Northeastern Samui. Every room is adorned with a spacious terrace and an open-air facilities highlighting on a bath-with-a-view feature, under the concept of Great Outdoor Living. The resort truly epitomizes a perfect getaway among nature with the personal touch of being owner-managed and staffs friendliness.
"At The Tongsai Bay... We emphasize on the outdoor living"
All 83 rooms in a vast area of 25 acres of land, surrounded by tropical nature, offer sea view with 4 main types of accommodation namely Beachfront Suites, Cottages Suites, Tongsai Grand Villas and Tongsai Pool Villas.
:: Beachfront Suite (72 - 86 sq.m.) - 24 Units ::
Beachfront Suites are in a 3-storeyed building next to the beach and pools. All have a secluded bathtub, 2 sun loungers, a dining and writing table and full fronted sea views, 44 sq.m. air-conditioned area, 8 Suites on the ground floor are suitable for families in a way that each has a direct access from the balcony to the beach and pools and its overall size is as large as 86 sq.m. divided into 36 sq.m. balcony and 6 sq.m. backyard as opposed to the upper floor suites which are only 72 sq.m. Due to larger area and ground location, Beachfront Suites on the ground floor can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children under 12 and are more suitable for families.
:: Cottage Suite (68 - 78 sq.m.) - 29 Units ::
The Cottage Suites
stand among coconut trees and tropical gardens on the hillside overlooking the sea. Most are semi-detached with a split-level design of bedroom and living area. To capture the very best seaviews the cottages are all slightly different in shape and arranged on different levels. Each has a private open-air balcony complete with our signature "bath-with-a- view", 2 sun-loungers and a dining / writing table. The standard sizes of cottages are 68 - 78 sq.m. and can only take 3 peoples maximum.

These days, dismissing Chicago as simply one of the fly-over states is passé. Nor is it any longer, as poet Carl Sandburg phrased it, "hogbutcher to the world." In fact, the Windy City is now being touted for its burgeoning restaurant scene, fashion-forward boutiques and standout architecture.
Of course, it didn't hurt when Vince Vaughn squired his then-love Jennifer Aniston around town (even throwing out a pitch at a Cubs game while Aniston watched in the stands), and that stars like Brad and Angelina have been snapped by paparazzi cruising Lake Michigan with their brood in tow. And, yes, there's Oprah. Regardless of the celebrity appeal, Chicago is proving that it is a city, indeed, to again quote Sandberg, of "big shoulders."
The city rebuilt itself once after the Great Fire in 1871, and it's undergoing the same kind of rebirth today. In 2004, construction was completed on Millennium Park, a $500 million public space that features an impressive collection of postmodern architecture, including the Frank Gehry–designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion. A year later, the defunct rock concert Lollapalooza began again—moving to its now-permanent home in downtown's Grant Park. Then last year, the Chicago History Museum underwent a major overhaul—renovating three-quarters of the building and adding a restaurant, overseen by Wolfgang Puck. And in the spring, the Chicago Loop Alliance hosted Looptopia, a one-day festival of live music, dance and theater performances. (Organizers are planning for another event in 2008.)
While the rest of the world begins to rediscover Chicago, there are some for whom the city has always been "my kind of town."
"I just love jogging along Lake Michigan, where my parents live," says New York socialite Jamee Gregory (who gave up Chicago for Manhattan). "It goes for miles in both directions and is a great way to start the day."
But take it from the native: Chicago winters are cold. "You need sunglasses and a wrap," advises Gregory as a way to battle the wind.
And, in a fashionable bonus: "It's the perfect city for fur."
As one resident put it, "If you are bored in Chicago for 15 minutes, you aren't really trying." The mercury takes a nosedive during the winter months, so Chicago has plenty of indoor attractions, namely the theater. The city boasts an impressive roster of storefront theater—where the likes of David Schwimmer, who founded Lookingglass Theatre Company, and Jeremy Piven, whose mother, Joyce, owns the Piven Theatre workshop in nearby Evanston—occasionally perform. Chicago is also home to the Steppenwolf Theater Company, which counts members like Joan Allen, John Malkovich and John Mahoney, and Second City, the famed improv club that launched the careers of comedians such as Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Amy Sedaris and Mike Meyers. And let's not forget this is the city that gave us the Cusacks.
There's also a great art scene, with no fewer than four major museums. The Chicago Art Institute is best known for its collection of French Impressionist and Postimpressionist paintings and also houses Grant Wood's iconic American Gothic. A Jasper Johns exhibit will run until the beginning of next year.
The newly opened Chicago History Museum houses an assortment of city artifacts, including Abraham Lincoln's deathbed, and in September, it will exhibit 50 couture pieces from its costume collection with labels such as Lanvin, Comme des Garçons, Chanel and Versace in the mix. The Museum of Contemporary Art is running an exhibit of rock 'n' roll photography and art, titled "Sympathy for the Devil," through January 6, and the Field Museum is best for those who get their kicks out of dinosaur bones. But Chicago art isn't just about museums—the city also boasts a slew of galleries. Until December 29, Printworks Gallery will feature "Elegy for Isabella Blow," a series of photographs and prints of the late British fashion editor, by artist and writer Audrey Niffengger, author of the best-selling The Time Traveler's Wife.
The architectural boat tour on the Chicago River is a must, cruising by buildings constructed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry and Rem Koolhaas.
Once you've had your fill of culture, there's always ice-skating at the rink in Millennium Park.

Analytics Recommendations?
Hi all, first post here and I'm hoping to tap into your collective experience a little bit. I'm considering adding some analytics to my unity3d-based iOS game and was wondering if anyone had experience with the following services?
[URL="http://www.gameanalytics.com/"]http://www.gameanalytics.com/[/URL] They're free up to 20M events per month and seem to tick all the major boxes for analytics and be nicely game focussed as well as having good feedback on the assetstore. [URL="http://www.uselumos.com"]http://www.uselumos.com[/URL] Again, Unity3d based and very game specific. Currently completely free, but in classic startup mode of "Will add pricing solution eventually". Appealing thanks to the price and they're options seem pretty good, (remote logging could be handy and I like the idea of collating feedback all in the same place). [URL="http://www.playnomics.com/"]http://www.playnomics.com/[/URL] Impressive looking service & options, what looks to be good tie-in to marketing options. They're quite fuzzy on what their pricing model is though. [URL="http://www.inmobi.com/ltvp/"]http://www.inmobi.com/ltvp/[/URL] New to Unity3d, but appear to have a decent free & comprehensive solution with their revenue coming from the advertising section. [URL="http://www.flurry.com/"]http://www.flurry.com/[/URL] Good reputation & free, the only thing currently putting me off is that there's no official Unity3d plugin and they're very mobile focussed and my next project is hopefully multiplatform. [URL="http://www.localytics.com/"]http://www.localytics.com/[/URL] Similar to flurry, only difference being their free solution & low cost solution are very stripped down versions of their enterprise level one. Any help/advice would be gratefully appreciated, thanks! |
I really like localytics- especially when you can tag certain events. It's very useful to see how the users interact with the app and where they spend most of their time. Also helps to see when they start dropping out and losing interest.
I haven't used any of the other ones though. |
Hope this helps! |
Thanks for the replies . I've ended up going with Gameanalytics for the moment. The integration into Unity is excellent, as is their web interface and their support is really quick to respond to queries even if you're in the free tier. Since we're considering multiplatform for our next project, the fact it just works for more than iOS & Android is a plus as well.
After some testing and rough calcs on how many events a typical play session will generate per minute I think it should result in a reasonable amount of playtime per day/per user without coming close to the 20 million events per month limit on the free tier. And if I'm getting enough to push me into their 50million per month tier, then the increased revenue from that many users should more than offset it. I also tested Lumos, again the Unity integration is pretty straightforward, but the website and custom event integration leaves something to be desired. Each custom event only takes a single parameter, making it very frustrating to get data for values such as position or color values. After using the website a bit, I can see nice potential in the service but currently it's a bit basic. Playnomics and their PlayRM was another I looked at, but although their Unity plugin is freely available in the Asset Store, actually signing up to the service is more of a "Give us your details and we'll get back to you" approach and they didn't get back to me.

Mid Summer
We had a ball... Trampoline, heated pool and kickball on the huge lot... Even caught some fish but you have to know where they are... Very comfortable home with plenty of space... Each family member had a bedroom which was hugely appreciated... Eat inside, outside on the deck or down by the pool...Fantastic sunsets over the meadow... Went thru a lot of firewood and only 45 minutes away for us but it felt like "up North"... The owners were more than accomodating and the home was well stocked just in case we forgot something...A very enjoyable experience... Would not hesitate to rent again... 5+ Stars...
Family Summer Vacation
Great lake-stay experience! We picked the hottest stretch of time this summer but between the lake breeze, Jim's A/C unit and the swimming pool we stayed comfortable and had a great time! We grilled, biked, had a fire in the pit and lots of relaxation! Jim provided all the comforts of home with a TV, DVD and a few board games for indoor play too.

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
A typical funeral invoice will include the items below:
Coffins and caskets A coffin has a tapered head and foot while a casket is rectangular with a hinged lid. Prices for basic particleboard or wood coffins start at $700, but the ones you'll most likely be introduced to will cost between about $4000 and $9000. Metal caskets range between $7000 and $28000. Professional fees This usually appears as a lump sum in the cost quote and is the funeral company's or director's labour costs, which usually include mortuary care (when embalming is involved for viewing purposes or a longer wake, extra costs are usually involved) and transport of the body (some funeral directors charge more for multiple destinations and longer journeys). Weekend services also usually cost more. To avoid being double-charged, ask for all items included in professional fees to be specifically listed. Disbursements This refers to the payments the funeral director makes to other suppliers on your behalf. It includes costs involving the provision of death and cremation certificates, as well as newspaper obituaries should you choose to place one. Flowers, memorial attendance books, orders of service booklets, refreshments and live music are all common extras offered by funeral companies, but you and your family can organise these on your own. Ceremony Donations to clergy for the service are usually between $100 and $200. Celebrants usually charge between $150 and $300 for a service. Alternatively, your family and friends may wish to write and read out eulogies at the memorial service. Cremation Cremation certificates typically cost between $80 and $140 and are used to obtain a cremation permit that costs between $40 and $65. Cremation fees typically start from $500. The price may or may not include some time for a service at the crematorium chapel, so make sure you check. Burial Burial is more expensive than cremation overall due to the cost of the burial plot, which can cost anywhere between $1000 and more than $10,000 in some city cemeteries, as well as digging fees ($500-$1250).

Catherine, a CHOICE member from NSW, paid about $10,000 for her mother's burial in May 2009. "The total amount was close to what was estimated, but we were obviously quite distraught when going through the planning and we didn't take in all the details," Catherine told CHOICE. "I'm sure they never mentioned a contribution to the priest, but we were billed $250 for this and we had already paid the priest directly." The funeral home also took out a death notice in the newspapers, but in colour and including the name of their business, which her family also doesn't remember agreeing to. "I asked for a receipt but never got one. I think there should be third-party receipts issued for these items."
Last year, CHOICE member Sheila, from WA, paid $9200 for her mother's funeral (including a $4000 professional fee), which she believes was overpriced for the services received. "It was a lovely, tasteful funeral, but the things that made it nice were the environment and our choice of music, although seating and a marquee helped. The overall price of $9200 was exorbitant for such a small, simple funeral for 15 people. We also used our own transport and organised our own after-service refreshments."
There are many funeral finance product plans that claim to help you secure payments for a funeral. Before committing to one, you should always compare it with putting your money in a savings account instead.
Pre-paid funerals involve making funeral arrangements now and paying for it at current prices. The money is usually held by a financial institution independently of the funeral company and registered with your state's fair trading office.
Funeral insurance involves small, regular contributions for a specified cash payment on death. However, the premiums you pay over the years cannot be refunded if you decide to cancel the insurance. Age and health restrictions may apply when taking out the policy. The premiums may also increase over the years to keep up with inflation or other factors.
Funeral bonds are similar to bank fixed deposits. Your money is held as a bond and accrues annual interest. The principal amount can't be withdrawn early and is paid when the funeral is required.

Genres: Electronica/Dance, Latin, Soul/R&B
Joe Bataan (also spelled Bataán) (born 1942 in Spanish Harlem, New York City) is a Filipino-American Latin R&B musician from New York. He was born Bataan Nitollano and grew up in the 103rd and Lexington part of East Harlem where he briefly lead the Dragons, a local Puerto Rican street gang before being sent to the Coxsackie Correctional Facility to serve time for a stolen car charge. Upon his release in 1965, he turned his attention to music and formed his first band, Joe Bataan and the Latin Swingers. Bataan was influenced by two musical styles: the Latin boogaloo and African American doo-wop. Though Bataan was neither the first nor only artist to combine doo-wop-style singing with Latin...

The five-year survival rate AML is 24 percent.
This year, about 12,810 people will be diagnosed with AML.
In 2009, 9,000 men and women will die of acute myeloid leukemia.
The incidence of acute myeloid leukemia is higher in whites than other races, and higher in men compared with women. Here is a list of other conditions and characteristics that affect your prognosis.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Malum prohibitum (plural mala prohibita, literal translation: "wrong [as or because] prohibited") is a Latin phrase used in law to refer to conduct that constitutes an unlawful act only by virtue of statute,[1] as opposed to conduct evil in and of itself, or malum in se.[2]
Conduct that is so clearly violative of society's standards for allowable conduct that it is illegal under English common law is usually regarded as malum in se. An offense that is malum prohibitum may not appear on the face to directly violate moral standards. The distinction between these two cases is discussed in State of Washington v. Thaddius X. Anderson:[3]
Criminal offenses can be broken down into two general categories malum in se and malum prohibitum. The distinction between malum in se and malum prohibitum offenses is best characterized as follows: a malum in se offense is "naturally evil as adjudged by the sense of a civilized community," whereas a malum prohibitum offense is wrong only because a statute makes it so. State v. Horton, 139 N.C. 588, 51 S.E. 945, 946 (1905).
"Public welfare offenses" are a subset of malum prohibitum offenses as they are typically regulatory in nature and often "'result in no direct or immediate injury to person or property but merely create the danger or probability of it which the law seeks to minimize.'" Bash, 130 Wn.2d at 607 (quoting Morissette v. United States, 342 U.S. 246, 255-56, 72 S. Ct. 240, 96 L. Ed. 288 (1952)); see also State v. Carty, 27 Wn. App. 715, 717, 620 P.2d 137 (1980).
Crimes and torts that might be considered as malum prohibitum—but not malum in se—include:

Face to Face Legal Clinic
Photo: Kimberly Paynter/for NewsWorks
Face to Face is a 17-year old Pennsylvania nonprofit located in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. Run by lawyer Veronica "Niki" Ludt, the organization's free Legal Center provides a monthly Birth Certificate/Credit Report Clinic. While most of us would have no problem locating our birth certificate or producing a driver's license or other identification, indigent clients have often lost their documents or never had them in the first place. The Face to Face Clinic is worthy of our attention, given its potential for replication in other voter ID states.
Once they are trained, the Center's volunteer law students run the Clinic with Niki's oversight, conducting intake and assisting clients in preparing applications for birth certificates and other documents to secure legal identification. Since establishing its birth certificate program in 2008, The Face to Face Legal Center has represented more than 500 adult clients in obtaining birth certificates.
Of course, in 2012 the Clinic served to address another critical issue: identification for voting. Due to Pennsylvania's voter ID law, which was in effect for approximately six months and is likely to continue in 2013, the Birth Certificate Clinic helped to ensure that Northwest Philadelphia voters weren't disenfranchised at the polls. Niki stated that the Clinic saw a marked increase in attendance during those six months.
As we all know, bureaucratic policies can be convoluted and nonsensical. For instance, many of us who are lawyers and members of the PA Voter ID Coalition were periodically confused by the evolutionary interpretations of that state's voter ID law. Here's another example: to secure a replacement social security card requires the applicant to present a photo ID. Face to Face clients are requesting a new social security card because they need an ID! As you can imagine, low-income individuals – those traditionally without power – can be intimidated by this whole process and have difficulty in advocating for themselves with governmental authorities.
Face to Face's personnel and volunteers subscribe to its philosophy of "reaching across the table" to recognize and acknowledge the common humanity they share with their guests and clients, many of whom have been treated as invisible, sometimes for their entire lives. According them the dignity to which every person is entitled ensures that the Face to Face mission is fulfilled.
Campus Vote Project
The Campus Vote Project (CVP), launched in 2012 as a project of the Fair Elections Legal Network (FELN), helps college students by working on college campuses to implement specific programs that will empower students with the information they need to register and vote. The goal is to break down barriers to voting that disproportionately impact college students, including voter ID requirements. FELN is a national, non-partisan advocacy organization whose mission is to remove obstacles to registration and voting for traditionally underrepresented constituencies and improve overall election administration through administrative, legal, and legislative reform.
Voter ID laws differ as to whether a student ID or other college-generated documents are acceptable. Changes to ID requirements affect out-of-state students who lack an in-state driver's license, those who live in dorms that do not provide utility bills, and others. As colleges and universities are uniquely situated to help, CVP provides a Best Practices Guide for campus administrators. CVP staffers have conducted about two dozen webinars and presentations, encouraging administrators to get information to students about what ID they need, issue stickers with expiration dates for student IDs when needed by a state's law, to issue a zero-balance utility bill and the like - and to commit to a robust distribution campaign. CVP has encouraged colleges to send the roster of, or otherwise a letter confirming, students' names and their student-housing addresses to county boards of election where proof of residency is required to vote, e.g., North Carolina's one-stop early voting. Of course, CVP's message through earned media and advertising also includes the reminder to bring your voter ID when you engage in early voting and on Election Day.
CVP provides some terrific information such as a toolkit that contains several guides, from organizing an election awareness campaign, to integrating voter information into a school's website, to making sure students have the right voter ID. Also, check out CVP's blog and FELN's student voting section, which includes student voting guides for 41 states and the District of Columbia.
CVP partners and otherwise works with many national, state and school-specific student organizations as well as civic and election protection alliances. For instance, CVP and FELN have partnered with the National Campus Leadership Council and others to create the Campus Vote Challenge. CVP has targeted around ten schools in each of its 15 target states. CVP has distributed palm cards with essential state-specific GOTV information, including voter ID details, which are being distributed by partners around the country. The CVP palm card below is being distributed by partner groups in Pennsylvania.
League of Women Voters of Philadelphia
The Philadelphia League of Women Voters' Voter Advocates program is an example of the kinds of effective efforts VoteRiders is assisting and promoting. These are trained volunteers who help voters navigate the PennDOT (Pennsylvania's version of the DMV) maze, smoothing the process and counseling citizens trying to clear the final hurdle to the ballot box. Voter Advocates assure that voters understand the documents they are asked to sign and clerks' instructions, and help the PennDOT personnel interpret ID documents and regulations properly. VoteRiders is producing the Voter Advocates training video, to help communities in other voter ID states create their own Voter Advocates program; our media outreach includes those traditional and social media journalists who have been covering the voter ID issue.
The League of Women Voters encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. LWV does not support or oppose any political party or candidate but does — and always has — taken stands on issues its members have studied to create in citizens a sense of responsibility for its nation's problems. Through research and advocacy, LWV seeks to encourage the informed citizen who actively participates in government. For additional information about the League of Women Voters of Philadelphia's Voter ID efforts, visit www.phillyvoterid.org.
SeniorLAW Center
The SeniorLAW Center in Philadelphia has been protecting the rights of older Pennsylvanians since 1978 through legal representation, education and advocacy. When Pennsylvania's Voter ID law passed in March 2012, the Center immediately stepped into action to ensure that Pennsylvania's older adults would have the proper documentation to vote in the April primary election, in November, and beyond.
The Center became a member of the Pennsylvania Voter ID Coalition as part of a concerted effort to ensure all eligible Pennsylvania citizens can vote. Along with other Coalition members, the SeniorLAW Center began holding training clinics for volunteers and pro bono attorneys to understand the law and be able to help citizens apply for a copy of their birth certificate.
On August 3, 2012, the SeniorLAW Center, along with Face to Face, held its first Voter ID Legal Clinic in which attorneys from the Center, Face to Face, and local firms provided free legal services and counseling to voters of all ages to help get birth certificates and other required documentation to obtain their voter ID.
The Center is planning additional Voter ID legal clinics in the coming weeks and also offers assistance at their office. Individuals can register for an appointment by calling the Pennsylvania SeniorLAW HelpLine at 1-877-727-7529. Attorneys interested in volunteering their time and services can contact Karen C. Buck, Esq., SeniorLAW Center Executive Director, at email@example.com.

This article studies the empirical link between international tourism and trade. We apply dynamic heterogeneous panel data techniques to analyse both long and short-run relationship for the case study of OECD countries. This link is studied by estimating the cointegration vector and analysing the short causality between variables. The analysis recognises that inbound tourism can promote international trade and also that international flow of goods requires and may encourage tourist arrivals and departures. The statistical significance of this link supports the presence of business opportunities due to the potential complementary relationship between tourism and trade. The results suggest a short-run nexus between tourism and trade, and that these variables are cointegrated.

Rochester, N.Y.- Rochester's mayor and police chief announced Tuesday, "Operation Cool Down," a public safety effort designed to curb violence during the summer months, is now underway.
"During my State of the City Address, I said that we need to pay attention to the potential for escalating violence during the summer and we are following through on that," said Mayor Tom Richards. "We have a three-point plan to address violence which includes engaging neighbors and youth and targeting gangs. The RPD is doing an excellent job interacting with our youth and targeting gangs and we will be putting into place a citizen based budgeting plan."
Last year, Mayor Richards created Operation Cool Down to enable Rochester Police to take a more proactive role in keeping neighborhoods and citizens safe during the summer.
This year's Cool Down effort will be directed towards known offenders, gangs and specific areas where increased incidences of gun violence have occurred. Cool Down details will consist of three components:
Place-based tactics in areas of high firearms violence will include:
-The use of rolling task forces, which are comprised of four to six police cars patrolling together in addition to multiple officer bike patrols; traffic safety and DWI checkpoints, focused community and residential outreach in person and by telephone, and house party details.
People-based (individuals & groups involved in firearms violence) tactics will include:
-Gang enforcement initiative (multi-agency), violent dispute intervention and Operation Impact patrols.
Community engagement tactics will include:
-Police -- community meetings in all 4 quadrants, increased use of hyper-reach reverse 911 system, community appeals to assist with guns and dispute intervention, promoting the use of 428-GUNS for tips, planning a gun buyback, and CrimeStoppers assistance.
The Mayor has provided $300,000 in additional funding to the Rochester Police Department from an anticipated surplus in the 2012-13 budget. Additional funding from the State's Project Impact will be sought to help pay for the operation.
"I think I speak for the community when I say enough is enough," said Chief James Sheppard. "We are going to step up our efforts to crack down on illegal guns and violence. We are not going to let our residents live in fear, nor will we let unruly gangs dictate where our citizens can go and what they can do to enjoy the amenities of our city."
