Islamofascism: Still intoxicated by their "Arab Spring" fairy tale, the media don't see a problem with the Muslim Brotherhood's proposed new constitution for Egypt. Apparently they haven't read the fine print.
'A quick glimpse at the articles show ... there's wording that prohibits arbitrary arrest and detention and ensures due process, a sensitive topic in Egypt," CNN reported, approvingly. "Mubarak and his loyalists are blamed for jailing and harshly mistreating innocents" before the uprising.
The New York Times also shrugged, noting the Muslim Brotherhood drafters simply preserved the language of the old constitution. Now as before, it said, the "principles" of Islam remain the source of legislation.
Only, the drafters added a clause stipulating scholars of Al Azhar, the Brotherhood-controlled university and mosque in Cairo, will have the final say in interpreting those principles.
This seemingly minor change threatens not just Egyptian freedoms, but also Mideast peace and the overall war on terrorism.
Al Azhar is where some of the world's most influential Sunni terrorists have studied the Quran. By enshrining Al Azhar in the text of the constitution, the new regime has enshrined a kind of Talibanism only the blind Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman could be proud of.
Indeed, the jailed cleric is among Al Azhar's most cherished alumni. His fatwas inspired both 9/11 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. It's no coincidence that its leaders have joined Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in seeking his release from U.S. prison.
Al Azhar is also the alma mater of Sheik Yusuf Qaradawi, the Brotherhood jurist who issued a fatwa during the Iraq war declaring it a religious duty for Muslims to kill U.S. soldiers. He even decreed American civilians fair game for violent jihad.
Washington, in turn, banned him from entering the U.S. Al Azhar scholars, however, rallied to defend him and his fatwa. They included the dean of the Faculty of Religious Fundamentals and the undersecretary of the Department of Religious Endowments.
Azhar mosque's chief imam, further, has endorsed the murder of Israeli civilians by Hamas suicide bombers.
Al Azhar teaches from a Shariah manual titled, "Reliance of the Traveller — A Classic Manual of Islamic Law." Apologists for the new Brotherhood regime — including the White House — might want to thumb through it. Among other things, it instructs:
"When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed."
"Jihad means war against non-Muslims."
The penalty for "sodomy and lesbianism" is death.
Alcohol drinkers are "to be scourged 40 stripes."
Women must conceal their figure or alter it "to a form unlikely to draw looks from men or attract them."
The penalty for blaspheming the Muslim prophet Muhammad — treason — is death.
This is what Morsi meant when he promised Egypt's new constitution would deliver "the Shariah, then the Shariah, and finally the Shariah."
War On Terror: Refusing to help the only people effectively fighting the IS scourge is just one of Obama's many foreign-policy failures. And as we celebrate the 239th anniversary of our freedom, it's the most inexplicable.Of all of Barack Obama's counterproductive foreign-policy inactions fueling ...
Nuclear Diplomacy: President Obama again said he'd walk away from a bad deal with Iran. But the deal keeps getting worse and worse, and the U.S. pathetically remains at the table.According to the president, speaking last Tuesday, "I've said from the start I will walk away from the negotiations if, ...

Whatever uptick in approval President Obama got in the immediate aftermath of the recent Supreme Court rulings has faded quickly, a new IBD/TIPP Poll finds.

Is it really due to the Deepwater Horizon tragedy and an unwillingness to risk more of the same on 33 additional rigs?
Their unwillingness to do so left the police no choice but to "protect their good name," according to Maresca.
That it is so a testament to Jobs, to his passion, his vision, his uncompromising mania, and his unwillingness to cede control.

Recharging for council housing repairs
Why you might be recharged for a repair
We will recharge you for repair work that we carry out due to damage or negligence.
For example, if you or someone you know:
- breaks a window
- gets locked out,
then you will need to pay for the full cost of the repair.
We will tell you if the repair will be recharged when you report it. We will invoice you for payment. You can make an arrangement to pay the invoice by instalments.
Moving home
When you move from your home to another property please leave your home in a good, clean condition.
If you leave more than a wheelie bin full of rubbish, you will be invoiced.
Please take any rubbish to your local tip or arrange for a special collection. This will cost you a lot less than if we have to do it for you.
Special collections
If your rubbish is too large to fit inside your wheelie bin we can offer a special collection service.
Telephone 01483-523524 during office hours for more information.
After you have left your property
When you leave we will immediately carry out an inspection. If you leave broken internal doors, holes in plasterwork, have carried out DIY electrical work or have broken windows then an invoice will be sent to you for the full cost of any repairs.
Not sure what to do?
Please contact us on 0330 119 3000 (during normal office hours) and we will offer advice or arrange for your Area Inspector to visit you by appointment and discuss the matter with you.
Please note that calls may be recorded for training or monitoring.

I bought this as a replacement for the same bra that I wore a lot for a couple of years. My size is 32DD, and it's not easy to find a good strapless. I like that it has excellent separation and support, and no padding. The silicone on the band holds it up quite well.Wacoal does it again!
I would definitely buy this product agai

By Big Red
from New Orleans, La.
This bra was recommended to me by one of the bra fitting specialist at Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, La. The greatest strapless bra that I have ever worn. I am very large breasted and it is so comfortable and very flattering to wear with all of my strapless tops and dresses. Wouldn't wear anything else.

This bra really works!
By BEACHBUM16
from FLORIDA
About Me Comfort-oriented, Stylish
Have tried too many strapless bras to mention and they either pinched, rode-up, fell down, or had no support. This bra is great. Doesn't ride up, is soft and comfortable and lets you breathe! I wear it all the time with summer strappy dresses and tops. I bought the nude color to begin with and went back for the black. I'm ordering more before they disappear! Cuz we all know that when you finally find one you like, they stop making it!

Grumpy Old Fan | 'Crisis' at 30, Part 8 - ROBOT 6's Grumpy Old Fan turns back the clock 30 years to "Crisis on Infinite Earths" #8, and The Final Fate of The Flash."

The commercial side of magic
Posted by Dave Morris on Friday, August 07, 2009
Here's another newspaper advertisement from the annus mirabilis. When we started kicking the idea of the gazetteer around, twelve years or more ago, we planned to do a lot of these. Since then they've become something of a cliche (Larklight, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, you name it) but it'd be a pity not to do one or two. Like the five-storey removal firm Stoop and Sons and monster opticians Blink and Wiper, this won't just be a throwaway joke but will actually link back into the Jack & Estelle story. That's the plan, anyway.

Statewide Senate Report May 2011 1. Chair's Report Chair Postma referred us to his written report distributed earlier in the day. a. There is very little news on the budget. All of the Academic Affairs Divisions offices, including ASCSU has been asked to plan for a 10% reduction. This means a potential cut of approximately $45,000 to ASCSU next year. i. Opinions were expressed that a viable Senate is necessary for an effective system and that we are asking faculty to do more and more with less support. ii. While we are a part of Academic Affairs, the Senate interfaces with all aspects/divisions within the university. b. We expect the appointment of a faculty trustee by the end of this month. c. There have been few developments in Early Start at the system level because most of the work is being done at the campus level. Each campus is required to have at least one unit associated with their Early Start "experiences," including courses, even though several campuses would prefer not to have this mandate. d. We have been very involved in SB 1440 implementation. i. There is a "quirky" structure in place to support implementation that has made some things difficult to accomplish. ii. Communications with the faculty are an ongoing challenge. There are many related issues such as GE, GWAR, American Institutions requirements, etc. that require technical knowledge to fully understand. iii. Progress is being made and we are just now seeing the finalization of the first transfer degree templates (TCMs). iv. We will continue some work through the summer. v. We have been aware of the American Institutions issue before the bill was even finalized but were unsuccessful in having amendments made to the bill. There are a number of related items in front of us at this plenary session. Consultation has taken place under very tight time constraints. vi. We are hoping to implement a FAQ website. vii. In response to a subsequent question, Chair Postma reviewed the timeline related to the proposed Title 5 change related to American Institutions waivers. 1. ASCSU leadership attempted last year to have SB 1440 amended to include AI requirements. 2. We have been aware of this issue since then. 3. Proposed language was shared with us less than a month ago. 4. We have kept in touch with campus senate chairs and political science and history as we have learned more. 5. There was no formal task force appointed to examine the change. 6. The item was referred to GEAC due to historical and timeliness considerations. 7. NOTE: Several faculty gave eloquent addresses to the Board of Trustees last week. Several trustees seemed convinced that a delay in a vote on the proposed change in Title 5 to allow for a waiver of the requirement by the Chancellor after a request from 1 the campus until September or November would be appropriate. Trustee Hauck and Chancellor Reed seemed to feel any delay would not be advisable. Senator Tarjan strongly believes there is no real downside to a delay but significant downside to proceeding without additional time for faculty consultation. 2. Excerpts from Other Reports a. GE Advisory i. Give Students a Compass Pilot Projects Proposals—Debra David from SJSU has been hired to oversee the ongoing externally funded Compass pilot projects. We expect final decisions on the next round of proposal funding to happen by the end of the month. ii. Handling of Courses in Fine Arts (Area 3A in IGETC and C1 in Area Breadth) 1. Art a. There are three categories of art courses. i. Art history, which is traditionally allowed for GE credit by both CSU and UC. ii. Practice of art for future artists, which is not allowed for GE credit for either CSU or UC. iii. Practice of art for the masses with some art history. The CSU allows these but the UC does not. However, there are no clear guidelines for inclusion in area breadth. Does this committee have advice? b. Senator Kalayjian, David Morse (ASCCC) and Ken O'Donnell will form a task force to look into the issue and supplement the task force with members from fine arts faculty. 2. Creative writing in Area Breadth and IGETC. a. Is currently not allowed. Should we revisit this policy? b. Ken O'Donnell will take the issue to IGETC standards review committee and report back to GEAC. iii. Potential Title 5 Revisions 1. Waiver Provisions for American Institutions a. We invited political science and history faculty to discuss the issue. b. The attending AI faculty recommended i. That some draft language be added to the Title 5 language affirming a commitment to civic literacy. ii. Language be added to require that exemptions granted for 1440 or high unit majors and must go through standard campus curricular approval process. c. We did not take a formal position on the item before the Board but it is my judgment that the committee members were supportive 2. Potential Minimum Grades for CSU Native Students in "Golden Four" Courses 2 a. The committee is supportive of the resolution currently being sponsored by AA and APEP that would align standards for native and transfer students to require a "C" grade for all students in these courses. 3. Potential Limits on Maximum Units Required for GE on a CSU Campus a. This came up in the context of SB 1440. b. Most of the committee felt that such a supporting change to Title 5 would be inappropriate. 4. GE Waiver for second baccalaureate students. a. There is no opposition to this Title 5 change. iv. Symposium of GE Student Learning Outcomes 1. The conference will likely be held in October—the funding has been held over to support the conference. 2. Every campus will be asked to send a team to the conference. b. California Academic Partnership Program i. The group intersegmental and pays a lot of attention to standards— which are quite high. They are looking at a common core curriculum that is getting a lot of play nationally. ii. Approximately 75% of our high schools have ERWC courses dealing with reading and writing. We do not have similar mechanisms to improve mathematical achievement. On June 30th, CAPP will issue an RFP for improving junior and senior high school student performance in algebra. University/school partnerships are encouraged in developing proposals. c. Services for Students with Disabilities Advisory Committee i. There will be an RFP coming to the campuses dealing with addressing student mental health, particularly suicide prevention. ii. We have a dearth of professional counselors in the CSU. d. Emeritus and Retired Faculty Association i. The group has many former and current ASCSU members. ii. It works hard to safeguard both pension and health care benefits. iii. They recently had an enlightening discussion on the appropriate roles of senates and collective bargaining groups in the CSU. 3. We passed several resolutions at the May plenary that were previously introduced at the March (or January) plenary. Copies of this and other past resolutions can be found at http://www.calstate.edu/AcadSen/Records/Resolutions/. a. Commendation to the Office of the Chancellor in Resonding to Section 66205.8 of the California Education Code—Career Technical Education (CTE) Courses acknowledges the good work to address this legislative mandate. b. Support of SB 8: Higher Education Transparency deals with donor anonymity. The referenced bill would require information relative to donors to be more publically available. c. Support of AB 130: Student Financial Aid Eligibility and the California Dream Act of 2011 supports the eligibility of students addressed by the act to receive non-state-supported scholarships. d. Academic Senate of the CSU Calendar of 2011-2012 Meetings is self- explanatory. 3 e. Common Reporting Requirements of Campuses' Early Start Program Effectiveness seeks to facilitate the assessment of this initiative. f. Statewide Access to the California State University opposes legislative efforts to make all CSU campuses more regionally focused. g. Concerns about Summer Session Courses and Fees voices support for current system policies regarding supplanting of state-support courses and opposition to self-support sessions as a necessary avenue for students to complete their degrees. h. Addition of a Second Faculty Trustee to the CSU Board of Trustees is viewed as desirable for the purposes of mentoring, increased faculty perspectives on the Board, and the avoidance of a period without faculty representation on the Board. i. General Education Grade Minima in the Golden Four Implementation of transfer AA degrees under SB 1440 has led to the realization that the current transfer policy of a minimum "C" grade in each of these courses, mirrored on most CSU campuses in graduation requirements for native students, may be abrogated by transfer AA degrees. This resolution seeks input from the campuses, potentially leading to recommendation of system policy regarding graduation, rather than just transfer. Interestingly, the ASCCC is considering a resolution requiring the minimum "C" grade in these courses within the transfer AA degree. 4. Several resolutions were passed without a second reading due to their urgency. Resolutions not passed in the May plenary do not continue to the next Senate. a. Support for Proposed Title 5 Additions to the Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree The associated changes are deemed necessary to implement the degree. b. Support for Proposed Title 5 Additions to the Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree proposes additional information about program function, the core curriculum, admissions, the development of a student handbook, the doctoral project, a qualifying exam and the requirement of an oral defense. c. Support for the Establishment of a CSU Professional Doctorate Advisory Committee urges establishment of the committee with ASCSU, doctoral faculty, Chancellor's Office and other faculty representatives. d. Support for Title 5 Changes Related to Baccalaureate Degrees Completed in Post Baccalaureate Standing supports expansion of the relaxation of requirements outside of the major for a second baccalaureate to majors other than nursing. e. Reaffirmation of CSU System-wide Policies Governing Special Sessions supports EO 1047 which prohibits the supplanting of regular course offerings available on a state-supported basis and requests that campuses be vigilant about adhering to the principles outlined in the Executive Order. f. Support for the California State University's Professional Doctorate Tuition Fees expresses a desire to support tuition and fee levels necessary to support doctoral programs. g. Enhancing Student Success Using Resource Management Response Strategies urges that approaches to accommodate growing enrollment demand be adjusted to meet the needs of various categories of students. 4 h. Resolution Requesting Delay Action on Recommended Changes to the Title 5 "American Institutions" Graduation Requirement Until Its November Meeting while not addressing the advisability of the proposed changes, requests additional time for faculty consultation. i. The Importance of Civic Education (CSU Graduation Requirements in United States History, Constitution, and Both Native and American Institutions) for Transfer Students affirms a commitment to civic education, recognizes that accommodations to our graduation requirements may be necessitated by SB 1440, and requests that CCC faculty and advisors encourage students to complete these requirements prior to transfer. 5. Executive Vice Chancellor Ben Quillian indicated that there is little definitive to report. The Governor has identified an overall budget shortfall of $26.4b. A budget bill and trailer bills have been passed which address approximately $14b in cuts. We are facing a potential additional cut of $13b without a tax restoration. The Governor has not been able to find any Republican support (2 votes needed in the Senate and 2 in the Assembly) to move forward in the process of increasing revenues. The Governor is taking the case for increased revenues to the public around the state. We have missed the deadline for a June referendum on tax increases. It is unclear when, and if, it will appear on the ballot. This makes it very difficult for us to plan. We have a plan to cope with the initial $500m. We will increase tuition and cut enrollment. Planned cuts to the campuses are approximately $281, close to $11m at the CO, and another $3m in "technical adjustments. We do not quite know how to take additional cuts beyond the initial cuts—an additional $500m is almost too difficult to even contemplate. We can increase tuition again and reduce our workforce further but it is difficult to even ponder further personnel cuts. He is opposed to reducing compensation. We might reduce benefits in the long run but it would not help in the short run. The disaster in Japan has affected the national economy, particularly in California. Overall the employment picture is not good and the CPI is rising. In spite of the foregoing, there is some reason for optimism. The Governor has spoken with the Chancellor and has been supportive of higher education and cognizant of the importance of public higher education for the state. Increasing revenues is very important for the state. There was a question on methodology for determining FTEF—Dr. Quillian indicated that he would look into the issue. There was a question about why the Republicans are loathe to increase revenues. There is a school of thought that the worst thing you can do in a recession is to increase taxes. The Republicans also appear to feel very strongly that government spending has become too large and needs to be reduced. That we need to live within our means. Dr. Quillian made the point that regardless of the budget situation, there are areas like education, safety nets and public safety that must be addressed by society. Q: How likely is an increase in pension contributions? A: I don't know but some CSU employees are already leaving the CSU for fear of erosion of pension benefits. It is very difficult to imagine changes to PERS for current employees given the important role that pension benefits have played in people's decisions to enter public higher education. Dr. Quillian felt that the following characterization of the state budget was fairly accurate—the state is in the top six or seven in terms of taxes; we have slightly fewer public employees per capita than the national average, we have historically contributed about what other states do per college student but spend well under the national average due to low tuition; we have 12% of the nation's population but 32% of the welfare cases and similar rates of participation in workers' comp and 5 disability; and we spend twice the national average per prisoner ($50,000/yr vs. $25,000/yr). 6. Lilian Taiz and John Travis, CFA Liaisons Dr. Taiz gave an overview of bargaining on the new contract. An important issue being bargained is workload. There are differing perspectives on the appropriateness of flexibility in workload issues. Furloughs have not been broached to date in bargaining. Neither the Chancellor nor the President of the UC were willing to consider salary reductions in response to the first round of cuts. If there is another round of cuts, it may come up. It has not been addressed in bargaining. Our highest priority must be to secure revenue increases for the state to avoid another disastrous round of cuts. There is no mechanism by which we can currently negotiate retirement benefits since they are administered through CalPERS. The Governor may see pension reform through legislation. There several comments touching on CFA activities on campuses and the potential conflation of shared governance and collective bargaining-related efforts. Effective bargaining has its roots in power. It is not as rational a process as we might like to believe. CFA offered to extend the contract but was rebuffed. The Chancellor is using economic difficulties to try to take back hard-earned benefits and rights. CFA has been instrumental in organizing a national campaign on behalf of higher education. Faculty across the country face the same issues and are on the same page with regards to the direction we would like to go. Dr. Taiz invited Senators to go to calfac.org and sign up to be a part of the national electronic conversation. 7. Garrett Ashley, Vice Chancellor for University Relations and Advancement oversees the public affairs (external communications), communications (internal), external relations (outreach), advancement, and governmental relations departments. There is very little fundraising at the system level. His department mainly supports development on the campuses. The state budget is by far the most important issue his division is dealing with currently. We expect serious negotiations/action on the budget to take place after the May revise on May 16th. The system is conducting a low-key commemoration of our 50th anniversary as a system. It is low-key because of the desire not to overshadow current campus anniversaries and because of the grim budget situation. We have active industry advisory groups in the hospitality, agriculture and entertainment industries. There was a suggestion utilize the resource of retired faculty across the system and in the CO for advocacy and committee work. A priority for the division is to communicate through the media about the positive impact the CSU has on the state. We have a staff of three people in our Washington D.C. office of governmental relations. Q: Are there ways the ASCSU could raise external funds to support our operations? A: Most of our funding is restricted in terms of how we can spend it. We have not looked at raising funds specifically to support shared governance. I will talk with campus VPs about increasing faculty involvement in development activities. 8. Associate Vice Chancellor Ron Vogel is looking forward to working with the Senate. He is very committed to shared governance and was a long time senator as both a faculty member and administrator. [Note: this was his second day in his new position.] 9. Richard Katz, President of Richard N. Katz & Associates Note: Mr. Katz has been hired by the CSU to undertake an assessment of our capacity and potential market to 6 increase distance education. As a part of the project, his team visited CSUB and spoke with a number of folks on campus. Mr. Katz made a PowerPoint presentation that he offered to share with the Senate and answered questions from the group. He spent 14 years working for the University of California and subsequently worked for EduCause. He now has a private consulting firm. He has been retained by the CSU to look at issues of online and distance education. His firm began by looking at the history of online and distance education at the CSU. They are also looking at the system's capacity to increase these types of education. Ten campuses (involving 280 individuals) have been visited by members of the firm to examine capacity and other issues. Richard is also looking at the marketplace for these types of education. There is no time urgency to make any changes before sufficient fact gathering and consultation has taken place. There are profound changes happening internationally in higher education. Many barriers to increasing these types of educational offerings have been identified. There is no presumed set of recommendations for this engagement. He is truly attempting to answer the question "is the increased use of instructional technology appropriate for the CSU?" He reviewed a number of articles dealing with technology-enabled instruction. If we decide to go forward, we will need to answer the question, "make, buy, borrow, source or partner?" in order to increase our capacity. They have discovered a diversity of opinion among the students and faculty we have talked with in regards to distance-enabled instruction. The students are more enthusiastic about it than the faculty. Nationally, students indicate that "convenience" is their most important consideration with regards to education. Not moving forward in this area is likely to have significant consequences for the CSU. Comments: we should look to the very large on-line universities in Asia to see the lessons that may be valuable for us. At least two of these universities have a million students. We should also look at CalStateTEACH. We need to provide professional development for students adopting technology, particularly those doing on-line instruction. On-line instruction is a 24/7 endeavor. Responding to students in real time or in a timely manner needs to be a consideration. How will we define faculty workload in this context? We should not emulate many of the characteristics of proprietary institutions that do a lot of technology-enabled instruction. Response: I agree. They are doing well in the market and we need to learn from them but some of what they do is the antithesis of what we should attempt to do.

By 1998, in the U.S., a cumulative total of 109,311 adolescent or adult females had been diagnosed with AIDS. African-American women were three times more likely to die from AIDS than Caucasian or Hispanic women. In South Africa, Gugu Diamini, an AIDS activist, was beaten to death by her neighbors after revealing her HIV status on Zulu television.
The Global Campaign for Microbicides is founded at the XII International AIDS Conference in Geneva. The creation of the microbicide campaign came about from key members of the women's health and HIV community deciding to work together to focus world attention on the critical needs for new HIV prevention options, especially for women.

What are the Types of Concrete Coatings
A concrete is a great flooring material. It is durable and expected to last for long years. However, to fully achieve this advantage, it is important to ensure you protect your concrete floor. One way to do this is by applying coating.
A coating can help prevent the concrete from deterioration and getting damaged. It is an important element that provides an extra layer of defense from experiencing possible wear and tear. But, that's not all that it does. It can also help add beauty to the floor. Nowadays, it is also being used to dress up a concrete surface and add elegance to an area.
If you are looking to coat your concrete floors, you have four types of concrete coating Dubai to choose from.
Let's start with acrylic concrete coating. This one protects the surface from getting damaged. It is used in both interior and exterior spaces. You can have them in both oil and water base. It dries quickly compared to other coatings, and the finish can result from matte to glossy. Most concrete contractors recommend the acrylic coating because it is very affordable. However, it can be hard to maintain. It needs regular cleaning and wiping.
Next, you can choose the penetrating coating. This one is commonly used for outdoor surfaces. Penetrating coating are known best for effectively protecting surfaces from moisture and harmful chemicals. This type of coating is transparent and usually do not have any visible effect to the concrete. So, you cannot expect your floors to get glossy when you use this coating.
You also have the option to go for polyurethane concrete coatings. This one finishes with a very glossy effect. It's also transparent like the penetrating sealer, and you can buy it in either oil or water based. This is best for commercial locations or any area that receives high volume of traffic. You have the option to add some color to the coating.
Lastly, the epoxy concrete coatings. You can buy this in different colors and textures. It's a good choice if you want to achieve sophistication and full protection at the same time. This is chemical and scratch resistant.
Things to Keep in Mind When Hiring a Maid from an Agency
In Dubai, most of us are career oriented. We work hard by rarely play hard because we're already so tired of work. The time constraints in our life make us hard to achieve a work and life balance. This is why, we should consider getting a maid.
A maid can handle the household chores and take off most of our burdens at home. They can even look after the kids when we need some break and relaxation. Hiring a maid is a challenging task. Whether you need a live-in or part-time maid, you should contact a maid agency. They can provide you maids depending on your needs.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when hiring a maid through an agency.
Find out if the maids are insured. Injuries and accidents can happen whether in and out of the house. While the maid is cleaning, she could trip and get a sprain. The agency should insure them so that when something bad happens during the maid's working hours, she'll be covered and you won't have to pay for any medical bills. This is very important to ensure that you will not have to pay extra. Also, this will help you become secured if ever stealing happens.
Contact some references. Nowadays, it seems like everyone is dependent on the Internet that nobody actually calls to verify. Don't do this. You need to guarantee that the maid agency that you would be hiring does provide dependable maids as they promise. Ask the company for some references and call the contacts one by one.
Make sure there are no extra fees. Some agencies say that they have low maid agency fee, but the truth is, they charge extra along the way. Make sure that you will find a firm that offer transparent maid agency fees Dubai. Read the fine print and don't sign any contract without going through the whole document.
Guarantee that the services you require will be given. Know what are the things they would include in the list of housework. Also, ask who will provide the cleaning products and equipment. In most cases, it's the maid agency that delivers all the tools needed.
Buying Used Machineries
Running a company has many demands. Sometimes, you think you already have everything you but then, there will be a requirement for added gears and paraphernalia. If, at this point in your business, heavy equipment are already needed but you still don't enough money to finance the purchase, you should opt for the second-hand equipment.
However, used equipment can be risky. So if you need to buy them, you have to be very cautious as you may end up investing your money on faulty gears. We talked to the heavy equipment experts and asked for some tips when buying second-hand machineries.
Evaluate the fluid. Most equipment needs oil to function so when you buy used gears be sure to check the current condition of the fluid. When they still have enough fluid, this means that the equipment has been well maintained. Check the hydraulic, engine and transmission fluid. When they look dirty, it's a warning flag.
Know how long they have been used. You can find this out by checking the operating hours of the machine. You can see this on the machine itself. A machine that has already run 1000 hours and hasn't been maintained is not a good choice. It's important that the equipment has been conserved. It's better to buy a 15,000-hour operated machine that has been well-preserved.
Get the maintenance record. As we've said above, you should only invest in equipment that have been maintained. You can only ensure that the seller is telling the truth by acquiring the maintenance records. Appraise the documents and see how regular the machines have been sent for checking. This is very important.
Check if the equipment is ISO certified. See if the machines have ISO logo, preferably the ISO 9002 standard Dubai. The ISO 9002 standard is a certification that is only given to equipment that have managed to pass the manufacturing standard of the ISO body. When a machine has ISO sticker, you can be confident that you are buying the right products.

We are all private people. We want our own space to be secured as much as possible so we always find ways to make our home not an attractive target for thieves. However, sometimes, we just ran out of inexpensive ideas.
If you don't have budget for a new high-security gate or cutting edge lock, don't lose hope. There are still a lot of ways to boost your home's privacy. Want to know how? Read our handy tips below.
Plant trees. When you have low fences, it's good to plant trees and plants around your house. Specifically place the trees where your windows are. Strategically planting on the outside of your home can block the people's view from afar. Thieves may find it hard to penetrate your home because they can't really see with those plants interfering with their vision.
Slated panels. This is probably something new to you. Slated panels are designed to make homes with large glass windows to get some privacy. These are movable panels that need to be installed. They serve as privacy screens and can even be used for balconies and terraces. Visit your local hardware store to see if they have these.
Use window blinds. Curtains can get swayed by air but not serranda roller shutters. Use blinds or shutters they are more effective in protecting the inside of your house from getting exposed. Dubai blinds home are the most sought after window treatment nowadays because it effectively boost home's privacy and blocking harsh sun heat from entering the house.
Frost your glass windows. If you are opting for style, you should then choose glass frosting. This is a very elegant way to safeguard your home. It's very comfortable and still lets you have a full 360 view of the outside of your home.
Remove outside clutter. Don't keep your new 50-inch plasma TV's box laying on your front yard. Immediately throw it away on the garbage bin outside. Anything that looks like a potential item for thieves to steal should not be hanging outside your house. Otherwise, you're only inviting them to try and break into your home. Don't leave temptations outside.
Things You Can Do on Samsung Tab S But Not on iPad Mini
Wow, a new Samsung tablet! It's really easy to buy tablets online Dubai nowadays, you can just click, add to cart, and the next day, it's right on your doorstep. Don't worry, you've made a right decision of going for Samsung. Why? It's jampacked with features and most of them are not available on its rival Apple.
Let's put the Samsung Tab S to the test vs. the iPad Mini Retina. Want to know what is the edge of your tablet over the latter? Let's see all the things you can do with samsung tablets Dubai and not on iPads.
Use your prints to make purchases.
This feature may be available on Apple Smartphones but when it comes to tabs, they simply don't have it. Samsung gain the competitive advantage by being the first to do this on tablets. You can make payments by just pressing your thumb on the Tab S home button. Apart from that, you can also use your fingerprint to launch apps. It's fantastic!
Run apps side by side.
There are so many things that we want to do at a given time. We like to multitask and usually, tablets don't let us do this. It's something that we only get to do on a laptop or desktop. But Samsung paved way to this feature on its Tab S. Now, it's possible to use a tab in a multi-window mode. You can run two apps at the same time without sacrificing to close the other one.
Control your Samsung Smartphone.
Left your phone at home? Don't worry. As long as you have your tab S, you can still access your phone even when it's not with you. Tab S has a feature where it becomes a remote to your Smartphone. This also makes it easier for you to get the files and contacts right when you need them. However, this only works for the recent Galaxy models like S3, S4, S5, and Note 3.
Eye recognition.
Now, this is probably my personal favorite feature. It's just like the future. Samsung Tab S has the Smart Stay feature. Basically, it turns off the display or pauses a video when your eyes are not looking on the screen.
Should You Use Instagram for Your Business?
If you are a businessman, you probably know that social media is a big part of your marketing and advertising. But the question is: how many social media platforms can you handle? It's because clearly, there aren't only Facebook and Twitter. There are lots of them like Google +, Pinterest, YouTube, and so much more. And of course, there's this latest addition that many people are raving about, and that is Instagram.
Instagram's success has really been an "instant" one. The photo-sharing app has grew from 100,000 monthly users to 32,992,000 million. We're talking about unique users here. We can see the potential right? This platform has to be included in your social media advertisement Dubai campaign. If you disregard this, think of how many people you'd lose. So let's face it, you need to get to know another social media platform again.
How do you get started? Instagram is actually a Smartphone and tablet app. Although you can browse Instagram pictures through your desktop, you cannot really upload and apply filter. So it's useless. What you need is access it using the app. Download it on App Store of your phone. If you are using Android, then you should get it from your Play Store.
After downloading, you will surely find it very easy to use. All you have to do is click on the button on center of the screen and you can choose or take a photo of something that you want to upload. Then, you can put some hashtags together with your description of the photo. That's it.
Just like in Twitter and Facebook, you want to be sure that everything you post on your Instagram account should reflect your brand's identity. Instagram has a big potential of reaching your target consumers so don't screw it up by posting totally unrelated images on your account.
You can also use Analytics tool for your social media ad management Dubai in order to track your Instagram's reach and conversions. Some of the third-party apps that you can make use of are Iconosquare and Totems. The previous is totally free of charge while the latter requires you to pay $149 per month. You should review each software to find out which one can help your business best. Good luck!
Common Mistakes Siblings Make to Each Other When Parents Are Sick and Aging
Sick and aging parents entail a lot of work for the children. But of course, it the love that let these overwhelming tasks to be easy. While it is mostly the elder children who do the management most of the decision-making, siblings still take a major role. Here are some of the common mistakes sibling make that should be avoided to make things easier for the family to manage:
Thinking you can be off the hook if your sibling is doing the errands.
Although most of the caring task at home nursing care UAE lies for the eldest child, all sibling must take part since it is a family responsibility obligation. Even if you live far from your aging parent, there are many ways for you to help out. You can offer to pay some bills online, or do anything that can be done through phone or via using the Internet. If all things are not just possible because of the distance, just calling your ailing parents more often can send love, comfort to them as well as a sort of relief to the siblings who are carrying the heaviest burden.
Not giving emotional support and appreciation to the main caregiver
Researches suggest that emotional support is the most crucial factor to the main caregiver's well-being during these tough times. As sais earlier, if you love far from your parents, any form of help can give the in-charge sibling a sense of relief and comfort especially emotional suppor. You can also make an effort to take a leave to give the main caregiver a time off.
Automatically doing childhood roles
The eldest sister who usually takes care of everything may take on the biggest bulk of the responsibility, while the little brother may let her do so unwittingly because it is just the way things are done. You should beware of that routine you used to do back your childhood days. Since you are now adults, you can always change things and decide according to your situations.
Not planning for tough realities ahead
End-of-life care at home nursing care Dubai is something that a lot of people may prefer not talking about. However, this can be a huge mistake with consequences for the sibling relationship. You must then call a family meeting when your parents are still alive healthy. Discussing things is not suggesting or wanting that something may happen, but just for the purpose of more serious problems to arise during the tough times.

I have to agree too!!
Living in Ohio I can't see anyone selling a hunt for $800. Most get way more to deer hunt in Ohio. Better do some homework first.
I was thinking the same. I don't count on it until I've seen where I've drawn the tag.
My Helix
Wow nobody has ever put this on their site? That must mean it's not very good if nobody has used it.
Anyone ever use this?
I'm look for a place to hunt wild boar. Can't seem to find any landowners that have hogs on their property. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Looking for some advice. I live in Ohio. I was planning on moving to Wyoming and traveling to Colorado often to do alot of scouting before cashing in my points. I was going to DIY hunt since I would...
Nice bucks,congrats!
I'm still hunting. This has been one of the worst deer hunting season for me. I've passed on several 120 range bucks holding out for something bigger. At this rate a 120 is looking pretty good now.
Hi guys, been busy and I haven't put anything on the ground yet. It has rained most of today here in Ohio.
Yes he would do!!
I love bear hunting. I leave tomorrow morning for WV 3 day rifle bear season. You can't bait in that state but you can run dogs. I've never hunted with dogs before. Not sure it I would like it or...
Nice looking bear. Did ya get a chance to weigh it? Congrats!
Wow, I've been gone for 3 weeks and I come back to see we have over 7000 post! Has anyone season started?
I don't live in WV but, I'll be hunting in Clay Co WV.
Just like the other comments, I too had bear claws fall apart while bear hunting in NH. Right now I'm wearing Danner Pronghorn 400. I know there is better boots out there but, these fit well and are...
Nice antelope, congrats!
x2 what he said!
Yes that is some real good shooting. With that being said, it is my 1000 post on AT.
What happened with the Clean Shot Nocks ?
I too am using them for the first this year.
I plan on checking my cams over the next few days before i leave for Wy.
With this being the first year for baiting that will help big time!
Cool maybe you'll get a shot at him.
Yes you guys are right after looking over the picture again the bear does not look as big as I first guessed.
Oh you ask about weight. I'm thinking 300 to 350 lbs.

Can't say enough good things about Mi Casa and Sean and Susy. Not in town, but a quick jeep ride away (read the directions when you book). Instead you trade town for a great view over looking the lake and quick walk to the rock. Stay for more than one night so you can do the waterfall hike! Only warning if you don't like dogs this may not be the place for you, but if you like them or even just tolerate them you will find a new love with the smallest resident Lulu, who will steal your heart.

Sean and his wife are both very friendly and welcoming people. They went out of their way to help us. The location is just across the road from ´La Piedra´and is on the water. They have a really friendly dog and a cool spice rack! Thanks, from Billy and Lucy!

We planned to stay for 1 night in Guatape and thanks to Mi Casa we stayed for 3! An amazingly original hostel with great views and even better hosts...it really does feel like being at home (well their home)! Superb location right next to La Piedra and really easy to get into Guatape itself. The bus stops right at the door too. Room was big and bright and very comfy. Thanks again Susie and Sean, we hope to be back again someday!

Trivia: Carly Rae Jepsen
- Approval of God: Most notably "Share It Maybe":
"Sesame Street, man. It doesn't get any better than that!"
- Big Name Fan: Justin Bieber said on his Twitter that "Call Me Maybe" was his favorite song. Of course, this is exactly what brought the song to attention in the first place.
- Breakthrough Hit: "Call Me Maybe" is this to international audiences. It was also her first really big hit in Canada as well.
- Colbert Bump: The odds of a third-place runner-up on American Idol going to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 are small enough, while the odds of a third-place runner-up on Canadian Idol going to #1 in the States are next to nothing... but that's exactly what happened with her and "Call Me Maybe" after Justin Bieber praised the song on Twitter, putting in motion what later became a huge musical and memetic phenomenon. Still, no other Canadian Idol contestant has made any impact internationally.
- Hey, It's That Voice!:
- Josh Ramsay of Marianas Trench appears in "Sour Candy".
- Jepsen herself appears in Owl City's "Good Time".
- One-Hit Wonder: She is commonly called this; although she technically had two hits outside of Canada; the other hit, "Good Time," is a duet with Owl City, and it's he who gets first billing. "Call Me Maybe"'s view as a novelty song only makes things worse. She did attempt a Career Resurrection three years later with "I Really Like You", but it fell off before it could reach the Top 40.
- Similarly Named Works: Her 2008 album Tug of War should not be confused with Paul McCartney's 1982 album of the same name.

Tennant Company: Can "chemical-free" be a pathway to competitive advantage?

Tennant Company: Can "chemical-free" be a pathway to competitive advantage?
Last year covered in case
Companies in every industry are attempting to reduce their use of chemicals, particularly synthetic organic compounds, where there is a perception of harm to human health or the environment. The industrial and commercial floor-cleaning equipment industry is no different, with many equipment manufacturers seeking to reduce their use of harsh cleaning chemicals such as petroleum solvents. But with every competitor pursuing similar greening efforts in a mature market, companies find it difficult to differentiate their offers to customers. Tennant Company chose to differentiate itself through a technology-driven business strategy based on chemical-free cleaning. Instead of reducing the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, or reducing the harshness of those chemicals, Tennant offered its customers a cleaning solution that used ionized tap water to clean and disinfect surfaces, thereby eliminating harsh chemicals altogether. The benefits to customers were numerous, including lower total cost of ownership and improved health and safety, while maintaining cleaning performance relative to conventional chemical-based products. This case helps to illustrate the challenge of profitably going beyond incremental "greening" efforts (aimed at doing less harm) to offer a disruptive step-change in environmental performance as the central argument for the company's value proposition.
