Bathroom Mirror Cabinets
With such a wide range of mirror cabinets available at Bathroom Takeaway, it is easy to create the perfect accessory for your bathroom. Combining a handy storage cabinet with a stylish mirror, our extensive range of mirror cabinets offer the ideal two in one storage solution, without having to compromise. As well as offering extra storage space in your bathroom, the bathroom mirror cabinet also creates the illusion of extra space, thanks to the additional light in your room.
This faultless space-saving solution is also the perfect addition for a smaller bathroom or downstairs W.C, where space may be short. Ideal for storing bathroom toiletries, the mirrored cabinets from Bathroom Takeaway come with outward opening doors and are available in either a white, ivory or walnut finish, making them ideal for either a traditional style or contemporary bathroom suites. All of our bathroom mirror cabinets come in a range of sizes, specifications and styles to perfectly match any style bathroom and fit flawlessly with the rest of your suite.
Mirror Cabinets With Lights
The majority of our bathroom mirror cabinets come with LED lights, for added practicality. LED's are often used in bathroom mirrors, thanks to their enhanced energy efficiency, losing much less energy to heat. However, they also have the ability to stay cooler for longer, an important health and safety feature, especially in a bathroom. LED lights are also extremely practical when it comes to every day, precision-based tasks, that require accuracy, such as applying makeup and shaving.
Our bathroom mirror cabinets with lights come in two styles. The first style features a larger sized mirror, with smaller storage cupboard to one side, offering both an elegant and practical solution. These mirror cupboards offer both an elegant and practical solution for your bathroom. The other style bathroom mirror cabinet features a strip light at the top end of the mirror, with an additional light inside the storage unit, offering enhanced practicality. The benefits of each style bathroom mirror cabinet will depend on individual requirements.
The simple, traditional design of our bathroom mirrors with storage cabinets fit perfectly in any style bathroom, regardless of whether you are trying to create a more contemporary bathroom style or if you are opting for a more classic look.

Megavitamin therapy
Megavitamin therapy is the use of large amounts of vitamins, often many times greater than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), to prevent or treat many types of diseases.
Frequently used in complementary and alternative medicine and orthomolecular medicine, megavitamin therapy also employs nutrients such as dietary minerals, enzymes, amino acids, essential fatty acids, natural antioxidants and fermentable dietary fiber for short chain fatty acids. Historically megavitamin therapies have been stigmatized,[1] proponents say unfairly, by mainstream medical organizations and their associates.[2]
In the 1930s and 1940s, some scientific and clinical evidence suggested that there might be beneficial uses of vitamins C, E and B-3 in large doses. Beginning in the 1930s, the Shutes in Canada developed a megadose vitamin E therapy for cardiovascular and circulatory complaints, naming it the "Shute protocol" [5]. Tentative experiments in the 1930s[6][7] with larger doses of vitamin C were superseded by Fred R. Klenner's development of megadose intravenous vitamin C treatments in the 1940s[8]. William Kaufman, MD, PhD, published two books in the 1940s that detailed his treatment of arthritis with frequent, high doses of niacinamide[9][10][11].
In 1954, Professor R. Altschul and Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, applied large doses of the immediate release form of niacin (Vitamin B-3) to treat hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol). High dose niacin was shown to be more effective than conventional treatments in the Canner study of the Coronary Drug Project, a large scale, prospective, randomized, controlled trial to reduce long term total mortality, showed 11% reduction in mortality at 15 years follow up with only 6 years of niacin treatment. The other conventional approaches (two estrogen regimens, dextrothyroxine and clofibrate) —treatments that are no longer standard of care—were ineffective.[3]. Niacin is used to treat hypercholesterolemia because of its low cost and its unique ability to broadly improve lipid profiles for ApoB[12], LDL, small dense LDL, HDL, HDL2b (extremely good cholesterol), Lp(a), fibrinogen and trigycerides[13].
The 1956 publication of Roger J. Williams Biochemical Individuality introduced concepts for individualized megavitamins and nutrients. In the 1960s, biochemist Irwin Stone, author of The Healing Factor, observed that vitamin C's utility in the megadose treatments of human disease parallels the amounts of vitamin C physiologically produced in most animals and postulated humans' evolutionary loss of this capability. Megavitamin therapies were also publicly advocated by Linus Pauling in the late 1960s.
Several orthomolecular megavitamin protocols have been publicized.[4] While formal medical recognition of niacin therapy for hypercholesterolemia followed confirmation by William Parsons of the Mayo Clinic (1956) and the Canner study (1986), the success of several popular books since the 1980s has made the public more aware of niacin's effective megavitamin therapy for dyslipidemias (abnormal lipid levels in the blood). Pauling's advocacy of megadoses of vitamin C for colds, beginning in the 1960s, and later for cancer, made millions aware of the concept of megavitamin treatment in disease. Pauling's vitamin C recommendations are lower than some modern recommendations.
Other treatments include orthomolecular oral dosing schedules for an early, "abortive" treatment of a cold at onset, and for bowel tolerance for more established colds,[5] typically using 40 to 100+ grams per day in hourly doses as recommended as effective by orthomolecular practitioners.
Usage of therapy
An American cottage industry in the late 20th century, the evolving megavitamin therapy are integrated with orthomolecular and naturopathic medicine. Although megavitamin therapy still largely remains outside of the structure of conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, they are increasingly used by patients, with or without the approval of their treating physicians.[14] In the 21st century, proposed megavitamin therapies with vitamin C are being evaluated for their possible use in cancer[15].
Criticism and side effects
The effectiveness of various megavitamin therapies has been disputed by many conventional medical personnel,[6] including about safety, definition and validation of efficacy. For example, critics point out that there is no strong evidence that ingesting once a day supplements of 1 to 3 grams of Vitamin C is effective in treating the common cold for ordinary people. There is some evidence that similar intermediate dosages might help some stressed or compromised subpopulations[7] and that the orthomolecular advocates publish, and use, much higher, more frequent oral dose recommendations for vitamin C, in the 40 to 100+ grams per day range for treating colds.
Some megadose vitamin uses, often older pharmaceutical ones such as neonatal use of synthetic menadione, "a synthetic lipid soluble product which was once called vitamin K3",[8][9] [10] can cause toxicity, and in the case of K3 large doses may cause hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia occurs when the red blood cells die more quickly than the body can reproduce. In addition, K3 speeds liver damage, producing jaundice, deafness, and severe neurological problems, including retardation in infants. There is no record that the other two, natural, forms of Vitamin K have produced toxic levels.[11] The pharmaceutical synthetic, K3, is now banned in most countries for neonatal or general human use. These were not orthomolecular type megavitain treatments.
Extremely high dose vitamin A for previous conventional pediatrics and dermatology practices,[12] beyond orthomolecular therapy ranges, have been deprecated by some medical organizations of minor political units as ineffective and potentially toxic[13]
The term "megavitamin therapy" itself was criticized by opponents of orthomolecular psychiatry in the early 1970s as misleading, because they believed the term falsely implied therapeutic benefit, because of a dispute over scientific proof.[14][15][16] In response to criticisms about the potential dangers of these therapies, megavitamin proponents point[17] to the almost zero level of autopsied deaths caused by overdosing with vitamins compared to the significant numbers from pharmaceuticals, including a number of over-the-counter items.[18]
Administration of very large doses of vitamin A,[19] vitamin C, vitamin D, and pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may have adverse side effects, usually when used alone rather than balanced with other vitamins[16] or in large, non-orthmolecular overdoses.
The United States Department of Agriculture establishes a maximum intake level for most vitamins, at which no adverse effects should occur. These are part of the Dietary Reference Intake recommendation.

A leased office is the business version of buying a house. Similar to a mortgage, you will have a long term loan on the property (leases are for contract terms of 5 years+) and be solely in charge of what goes on under its roof. A leased option is perfect for established companies who are relatively stable in terms of growth and location.

Business travel demand slumps further in November - IATA
Business and First class air travel slumped further in November, according to latest data from IATA. The number of passengers travelling on premium tickets fell by 11.5% in Nov-08, following a 6.9% decline in Oct-08, reflecting the "sharp intensification of recession in major economies around the world and the contraction of world trade", according to the industry body.
IATA stated, "the dislocation to financial sector activity from last September clearly reduced business travel associated with M&A deals and other financing, [while] in November, travel by manufacturers may also have fallen sharply, given the evidence of large declines in traded goods volumes".
IATA stated that industry yields are now declining, as less of the more expensive premium fares are sold. Premium revenues are falling faster (-12% in Nov-08) than premium passenger numbers (-11.5%). Average premium fares (excluding taxes and surcharges) were rising at well over 10% a year until August, but fell to low single figure increases by Oct-08 and turned negative in Nov-08.
Latest data from airlines like Qantas confirm the trend. Qantas today reported that its Nov-08 international yields (excluding exchange) grew by only 1.3% in Nov-08, following a 5.2% increase in Oct-08. Qantas' domestic yields (excluding exchange), slumped 4.6% in Nov-08, following a 0.1% fall in Oct-08, according to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation's estimates.
According to IATA, the world's major long-haul markets saw the largest declines in premium travel during Nov-08, with a massive 17.7% year-on-year reduction across the Pacific, a 9% fall across the Atlantic and a 9.9% decrease in Europe to Asia travel.
IATA stated there remains growth of premium travel in a few of the smaller markets, including within Africa and the Middle East, albeit much lower than previously, in both premium and economy travel. There is also some growth in travel numbers between these regions (still showing economic growth) and key export destinations such as Europe. However, the previously robust Latin American region is now in sharp decline as these economies are hit by the fall in commodities prices and the weakness of key trading partners in North America.
IATA premium traffic growth (% change year-on-year): Nov-08
The Pacific has been a weak market for much of the year and for the period Jan-Nov-08 premium passenger numbers were down 4.7%, while intra-Asian premium demand is down by the same amount.
IATA premium traffic growth (% change year-on-year): 11 months to Nov-08
Economy travel numbers also fell sharply, by 6% in Nov-08, following a 1.8% decline in Oct-08.
IATA concluded, "the low point for air travel has not yet been reached, since the economic environment is still deteriorating. With yields now falling, this is adding up to be the most difficult revenue environment the industry has faced". IATA expects the "powerful negative influences" on travel of all segments would keep passenger number growth negative throughout the first half of this year.

• Qatar is a peninsula of 11,521 sq km located halfway down the west coast of the Arabian Gulf.
• The territory encompasses several islands including Halul, Sheraouh, Al Beshairiya, Al Safliya (which is a marine protected area) and Al Aaliya.
• The coastline covers 563 km with shallow coastal waters in most areas and many coves and inlets.
• The terrain is flat and rocky, covered with sand flats and sand dunes. There are some exceptional low-rising limestone outcrops in the north and northwest.
• The country is centrally placed among the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which groups it with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman.
• Archaeological discoveries, inscriptions and artefacts prove that Qatar was populated as early as 10,000 – 8,000 BCE.
• In the middle of the 1st century CE, Pliny the Elder referred to the nomads of the area as the 'Catharrei' – an apparent reference to their constant search for water.
• One of the world's earliest maps, The Map of Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE, shows the word 'Catara' at the head of the bay.
• Qatar played an important role in the Islamic civilisation when its inhabitants participated in the formation and provision of the first naval fleet.
• During the 16th century, the Qataris aligned with the Turks to drive out the Portuguese. Subsequently, along with the entire Arabian Peninsula, they fell under the nominal rule of the Ottoman Empire for four successive centuries – with the real power and control remaining in the hands of the sheikhs and princes of local Arab tribes.
• The country has a moderate desert climate with hot summers and mild winters. Winter nights can be cool, but temperatures rarely drop below 7°C.
• Humidity levels can be extremely high on the coast during the summer months.
• Rainfall is scarce (average 70 mm per year), falling on isolated days mainly between October and March.
Language and Religion
• The official language of the country is Arabic, but English is widely spoken and understood.
• All official documents (such as visa and resident permit applications) must be completed in Arabic.
• Islam is the official religion of the country, and Shari'a (Islamic Law) is the principal source of legislation.
• The Emir, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, assumed power on 25 June 2013.
• The ruling Al Thani family was among a tribal group who had settled at the 'Gibrin' oasis in southern Najd, before their arrival in Qatar during the early 18th century. Initially, they settled in Zubara in northern Qatar, moving to Doha in the mid-19th century. The family is a branch of the ancient Arab tribe, the Bani Tameem, whose descent can be traced back to Mudar bin Nizar.
• The name Al Thani is derived from that of the family's ancestor Thani bin Mohamad bin Thani, who was the first sheikh to rule modern Qatar.
The Ruling Family
The Qatari Flag
• The national flag is maroon with a broad vertical white stripe at the pole, the two colours being separated with a nine-point serrated line which indicates Qatar as the ninth member of the 'reconciled Emirates' of the Gulf, after the 1916 Qatar-British Treaty.
• White signifies the internationally recognised symbol of peace. Maroon symbolises the blood shed during the several wars that Qatar has undergone, particularly in the second half of the 19th century.
• The Emir is the ruler of Qatar. Rule is hereditary, with power transferred from father to son. If no son is available, power is transferred to the person whom the Emir chooses within the Al Thani family.
• The Emir is the head of the constitutional authorities, holding both legislative and executive powers. The Emir appoints the prime minister and ministers.
• The Council of Ministers (Cabinet), the supreme executive authority in the country, assists in implementing the general policies of the State.
• A 35-member Advisory Council debates economic, political and administrative matters referred to it by the Cabinet.
• The constitutional development of Qatar has kept pace with the rapid development and economic growth of the country.
• The first provisional constitution was issued in 1970, and amended in 1972 upon independence. In April 2003, an overwhelming 96.6% of Qatari voters said 'yes' to a draft permanent constitution which became effective on 8 June 2005, transforming Qatar into a democracy.
• In 1999, free elections were held to form a 29-member Central Municipal Council (CMC) for the first time in Qatar's history. Women were allowed to vote and run as candidates. CMC elections (held every four years) last took place on 10 May 2011. Elections for the Advisory Council will be held in the second half of 2013. This will be the country's first legislative election where 30 of the council members will be elected and 15 appointed by the Emir, as stated in the constitution.
• Qatar, with proven gas reserves of over 900 trillion standard cubic feet in its North Field, and oil reserves of over 15.2 billion barrels, has one of the fastest growing economies and the highest per capita income in the world.
• In just decades, Qatar has developed into a major global supplier of energy and is the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a world leader in gas-to-liquids (GTL) production.
• While developing its huge hydrocarbon reserves, Qatar has also diversified its economy, and emphasis is being placed on private-sector industrial development, education, health, sport and tourism.
• Investment laws allow for up to 100% foreign investment in many sectors including agriculture, industry, leisure, tourism, health, education and the exploitation of natural resources, energy and mining – subject to dispensation from the Ministry of Business and Trade.
• Together with Qatari partners, who hold a 51% interest, foreigners can invest in most other sectors subject to approval. See Banking & Commerce for more information.
International Relations
• Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strives to establish and develop close direct ties with all peace-loving countries and peoples of the world. It is keen to participate actively in efforts to deal with the concerns and challenges that the Gulf region encounters.
• Qatar was actively involved in the discussions leading to the foundation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and has hosted a number of their Supreme Council Summit Meetings.
• Qatar maintains 83 embassies abroad, 7 consulates and 3 other representations. The Qatari capital Doha hosts 82 embassies, and in addition there are consulates and other representations in Qatar. Qatar is a member of:
• The United Nations (UN) and its subsidiary global organisations.

Publication of new customer magazine "Keep Track"
Digitalisation brings us great opportunities and makes things easier – with it, information can be stored, distributed and evaluated much faster and comprehensively, and can be reproduced without any loss of quality. As a service-oriented company, we at Rhomberg Sersa Rail keep track of this development, as we always look for ways to make improvements for our customers.
Success factors: Technological progress has opened a range of completely new process options – as in our internal project management, maintenance management and business fields. In the latter, we have been active for some time, e.g. in the development of track network digitalisation. We want to, and should apply these new developments, especially in the safety sector. Nevertheless, like before our main business is in "analogue", i.e. conventional, railway construction and railway technology. Also here, we are looking ahead and are driven by motivation; currently the biggest challenge is the ever increasing utilisation of rail infrastructure. Trains are becoming more and more important to people as a sustainable means of transport. For goods transport, trains stay the undisputed leader. But this means ever tighter slots for maintenance and repairs. We therefore provide our customers with efficient solutions, such as slab track, the Second Life System as well as highly efficient and modern machinery.
These new developments will still continue. The future will necessitate carrying out projects in parallel, in very confined spaces and without interrupting rail services. We already have the answer to this today as prime railway engineering contractor – like at the Rosshäusern tunnel – we support our customers in the best way possible by rendering a quality service, fast and without interruptions.

Today is the second annual #GivingTuesday, a day designed for all of us to make charitable donations after the mass-consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Of course, there are countless organizations out there worthy of our support, but if you'll indulge me, I have a suggestion of a cause in need of backing.
As we all know, diabetes has become a major health concern in this country, with over 25 million Americans currently dealing with the disease. In my Houston podiatrist office, I see many patients who struggle to maintain their foot health while dealing with diabetes. Whether peripheral neuropathy has left you with decreased sensation in your feet or you have concerns about preventing or treating foot ulcers, if you have diabetes in Houston, you will need to work closely with a seasoned podiatrist like Dr. Andrew Schneider.
Of course there is an alternative to endless doctor appointments and constant concerns about diabetic foot health: with well-funded diabetes research, we can hope to stamp out many cases of the disease, or at the very least, develop new and better tools to manage the various side effects associated with this prevalent illness.
As I said earlier, along with diabetes research, there are numerous causes in need of all our support on this Giving Tuesday; diabetes research is just one of them, albeit a worthy one. The key to this special day is to do something for others, so in addition to supporting your favorite charity this Giving Tuesday, I urge you to encourage the diabetic in your life to take control of his or her foot health and schedule an appointment at Tanglewood Foot Specialists as soon as possible.

Spring is deep sky season. As the weather becomes more temperate and the daylight/nighttime balance sits roughly equal worldwide, telescopes at star parties begin to sprout up like springtime daffodils. Now is the time to nab that obscure cluster, or attempt to spy that faint planetary nebula. We here at Astroguyz always try to spot one new object every observing session but have you ever tried to see all the Messier objects in one night?
Such is the realm what visual athletes call a Messier marathon. With a little practice, YOU can successfully observe the entire Messier catalog in one night!
Background: In 1771, French astronomer Charles Messier published the first list of deep sky objects. The initial catalog contained 45 objects, and in Messiers lifetime the eventual list was expanded to 103. Todays list runs out to 110 objects, and is a hodge-podge assortment of galaxies, nebulae, asterisms and even a double star. Part of this stems from the terrible quality of the optics of the day, another is the fact that Messier and other early astronomers had no idea what these fuzzy smudges were. Messier was also more interested in the gentlemanly pursuit of comet hunting, and there is much allegory and tradition that alludes to the fact that the motivation for the compilation was to identify these comet masquerading nebulosities.
A Full on Marathon: One of the prime reasons a complete Messier marathon is possible in the spring time is that no Messier objects lay from Right Ascension positions 21:40 to 23:20hrs, and only one lies before 0:40, extremely northern M52. This is roughly the same position that the sun occupies during the season leading up to the spring equinox. In fact, a good deal of the Messier objects lie in the direction of Virgo and Coma Berenices in the Great Virgo Cluster, and more still lie in Sagittarius and the galactic plane and along the Cygnus arm. Mid-to late March is the best season, and this year, the best window lies at the end of the month as the moon approaches new in early April. A complete list of optimal dates until 2050 can be seen here. Observer Tom Polakis constructed a list of optimal dates based on latitude; this demonstrates that an entire Messier Marathon is possible from 3° North to 42° North, with the optimal window being from 20° North for most of the month of March.
Like any marathon, you want to start strong out the gate, but pace yourself. One key to a successful first time marathon is to find objects in the correct order; the galaxies M77 and M74 will disappear soon after twilight; nab them first before moving on to the M31 region of objects. Youll then have a more leisurely stroll through Orion, and then pace yourself through the catalog and perhaps set your morning alarm for the finish with the tougher objects in Aquarius and a twilight M30 in Capricornus.
A few words of note: Some controversy revolves around the exact identification of M102: most Messier aficionados accept the nearby NGC 5866 as one in the same. A clear horizon to the west and southeast is also crucial. Be sure all equipment is in good working order, and all batteries fully charged and equipped with backups. I frequently keep batteries inside my jacket to keep them nice and warm and not dead by sunrise.
A mini: No time for a full Messier marathon? Over the years, several abbreviated lists of objects have cropped up some targeting seasons and others with a lean towards observability.
Variations: Some folks argue that the intention behind the Messier marathon may run counter to the spirit of astronomy. True, it doesnt give you time to contemplate or study most of these objects, and some abhor its simple astronomy as sport approach. It does, however, give you a great overview of how our universe is organized; most soon grasp the structure of our galaxy and the relation of the ancient clusters and our view of the spiral arms, as well as the vantage point of those distant galaxy clusters. I like to approach the list from a historical standpoint; Messier and the Hershels had little idea of what they were looking at. (More on them next week!) A messier marathon can sharpen your skills as an observer and cross those faint fuzzies off of the ol bucket list can YOU say youve seen all 110? Most clubs that run a marathon work through the list via a two observer confirmation concept. Binocular or even visual marathons can be fun too; just dont expect to nab all of the faint Messiers this way!
Been there, done that? NGC and IC catalogs are waiting. Some seasons, a Solar System marathon of planets could be in the offing make sure to include Pluto for a true challenge! Some observers have even attempted a photographic Messier marathon via CCD imaging. I think a good personal twist would be to turn the GOTO drives off and find all 110 via the ye ole star hopping method. Now that would truly sharpen the deep sky skills…
Do get out there this spring season and give the Messier list a shot. Wed also like to hear your personal tales of triumph and tragedy in this endeavor as well as your own personal tips and tricks for observing these objects; feedback can make a good post great. Next week, well look an early explorer of these deep sky objects, as we review Discoverers of the Universe!

Imagine that you can help your prospects step back and review all aspects of their technology in a way that sets you apart from the competition and lets you sell higher value IT solutions.
you've had plenty of tools to gather technical data but if you're like many IT professionals, you struggle to present the data in a way your prospects and clients can easily understand.
You may even spend hours or days putting your presentations together, only to watch your prospect's eyes glaze over.
is a way to take whatever data you have, however you've collected it and with whatever tools, and turn it into a color coded, simply scored and weighted, easily understandable report with supporting infographics so you can sell based on emotion instead of logic, without ever wondering how to explain complex concepts again.
you can create compelling presentations in minutes instead of hours or days, and track historical results over time from initial contact with a prospect through Quarterly Business Reviews with clients.
Evaluate your prospect's IT environment across four main areas: Infrastructure, Security, Managed Support & Services and an optional Telecommunications category. Choose 9 individual items to evaluate within each category, from virus protection to security, backup and disaster recovery, and even abstract concepts like business continuity, scalability and more. Then weight and score each item based on your IT personality. We've made it easy for you to get started by creating a few Cloud and Managed Service templates that you can use to start conducting audITs right away.
Once you've customized your templates, it's time to start building the audIT. Using the data you've collected with the tools and techniques you typically use during the fact-finding stage of your technical analysis, choose from a selection of predefined summary statements to bottom-line each audIT item. You can even create your own custom summary statements specific to each prospect or client situation. Based on the weights you've chosen for each item, you now have the ability to generate an audIT score that truly reflects the overall state of your prospect or client's IT environment.
We've made it easy for you to make an emotional impact by color coding each audIT item and summarizing the results in a single page. Subsequent pages allow you to demonstrate the importance of each individual audIT item using your Summary Statements without the need for any technical jargon. When you show a client or prospect an audIT report, they'll immediately be able to see and understand the deficiencies in their IT environment. We've also included a simple way to compare what your prospects and clients are spending with what they're effectively spending based on their audIT score. This helps level the playing field and makes it easier for you to sell solutions based on value and not price.
Explain technical concepts with a full library of visually consistent infographics that make it easy to convey complex and abstract ideas. An infographic is automatically generated in your audIT report for each area that shows a deficiency. Paired with your proposal, these artfully designed infographics will help your prospects and clients understand why each audIT item is important. Leave them behind to reinforce your recommendations long after you've left the meeting.
Instead of waiting for a prospect, run an audIT on an existing client to show where weaknesses exist in their current IT environment. But hurry… run an audIT on your clients before your competition runs one on them as a prospect and points out weaknesses that you failed to mention.
Keep your clients on an upgrade path by using audIT as part of your Quarterly Business Reviews. audIT helps you to sell based on emotion, which means your clients are naturally going to wonder when their reports will be all "green."
Ask for referrals based on the problem you solve instead of the products you sell. Instead of asking for a referral to someone who needs a firewall or cloud solution, now you can ask your clients to refer you to someone who could benefit from the audIT process.
Many IT professionals give away a technical analysis for free as part of the prospecting process. But now with a customized audIT report you can have the confidence to sell audITs and stop working for free. You'll end up with a more engaged and better qualified prospect, and as an added incentive you can credit the cost of the audIT back to their first month's payment when they sign with you.
For a long time we've been told that a technical assessment is the best way to attract high quality prospects and accelerate sales. From industry experts to peer groups, the message has been clear: conduct a technical assessment on your prospects and use it to sell your services!
But for a long time we've watched IT professionals struggle to take their technical data and turn it into a report that prospects could understand. Too often, we watched as professionals had to scale back their offerings to meet the arbitrary price expectations of cost-conscious business owners.
We saw businesses suffer the consequences of price shopping instead of understanding value, from data loss to security issues and down time.
We struggled with the same exact thing – how to sell the services a prospect really needed and not just the ones they thought they could afford. We struggled to find something we were confident enough to present to prospects and what we found were a lot of tools for gathering data but a void when it came to presenting it in a way that wasn't steeped in complex terms and industry jargon.
We wanted to find a way to help IT professionals take their data and present it in a way that would make an impact. We wanted to do it without buzzwords and jargon so that business owners would immediately understand concepts that were sometimes hard to explain. We wanted to make sure that not only could we explain complex concepts, but that the presentation would stick with our prospects long after we'd left the meeting and not turn into a paperweight on someone's desk or another pile for the shredder.
We wanted to make it simple so that it wouldn't take hours to put together a report. And we wanted to make the time spent on those reports worthwhile, which meant they needed to be not only practical but visually beautiful, too.
Most importantly, we wanted to help IT professionals demonstrate the true value of their services far beyond just the "cost."
We knew it had to be holistic and cover all aspects of a business's IT environment. We knew it had to be based on emotion and not logic so we could easily demonstrate dangerous gaps in a business's existing IT services. We knew it had to have a financial component so we could show the effective cost of a prospect's IT environment – not just the perceived cost.
And we knew that if we could do that, we'd have the opportunity to elevate the quality of IT services across the industry. IT professionals would finally have a way to sell their high-value solutions to prospects who understood the value. And businesses would finally get the level of service they needed.
– from IT veterans to programmers and designers – to build the audIT Sales Presentation System.
We want it to help you attract better prospects, to sell the value of your solutions and to elevate the quality of IT solutions available to small and mid size businesses everywhere.
Elevate your IT services.

What is the cause of abdominal pain during pregnancy first trimester? Sometimes, we are just feeling too worry when we are in the condition of pregnant. Sure, the expectant women often get too worried on something that they feel that is because they do not want something bad happens to the baby during the pregnancy.
That is why the expectant women commonly feel worried on something different which happens to their body, such like the problems of the pain. That often makes most women feel worried. Actually the problems of the pain during pregnancy is something normal as long as we know the limitation of the problems.
The abdominal pain happens during pregnancy is something normal happens in the first, second, and even third trimester. It is normal as long as we can deal with that and it is happens in the normal area of the abdominal. The normal one also would not be with the other problem as like the heavy bleeding.
When we are in the first trimester of the pregnancy we also needs to be much more careful and we need to be careful much. That is because the abdominal pain can also as the result of the serious problems. Sure, the abdominal pain during pregnancy first trimester can also be one of the indications of the serious problems as like the ectopic pregnancy and early miscarriages.
Those problems usually happen in the early pregnancy or in the first trimester. For the early miscarriage, the worse abdominal pain or cramps usually come with the heavy bleeding. The heavy one means you will need more than one pad in an hour. When it happens, you have to go straight to the nearest medical center immediately.
For the ectopic pregnancy, the pain of the abdominal feels completely worse and even you would not be able dealing with that by yourself. The pain will be started in one point of the abdominal area and it will spread really fast. When it happens, you need to go to the nearest medical center as soon as possible since the ectopic pregnancy is the serious and dangerous problem which needs the immediate medical treatment. Vomiting during pregnancy first trimester can also occur.

This week has been filled with what I like to call "early" mornings (9am) and late nights (around 1-2am). It's not healthy but I've done it anyway! I've not been getting the sleep I need and I'm starting to think hat I'm going to have to have earlier nights whether I like it or not!
Anyway, as well as messing up my body clock I've been scouring sales where I found my pink fluro leggings (Topshop) on my lunch breaks at work, and enjoying a lovely Sunday with my boyfriend. We are both absolutely disappointed by the football and both think Rooney did nothing but stand there gormless... A very heart-wrenching result. We spent most of our Sunday happy and playing games like Age of Empires and finding a better deal on our holiday! All in all apart from the football a good weekend!
Sorry, but I haven't much to write... It's hard to find things to write about when you're week has been filled with working!
Looking forward to: PAYDAY! A visit to Hobbycraft, Crafting, Reading, Blogging some planned posts and the Portugal -
How has your week been? Disappointed with the game?

I have been creating things as long as I can remember. I spent the first part of my childhood on a farm in Michigan, watching my mom garden, sew, knit, and crochet. I enjoyed watching her, and as I grew she taught me these skills. After moving to the city, I began using other outlets to express my creativity and soon forgot about what my mother had taught me.
After graduating high school, I decided to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in interior design and graduated in 2001. After practicing in the corporate world for many years, I found that even though I was working in a creative career, it was not satisfying my hunger to physically create. I started sewing, crocheting, and knitting again as another creative outlet. Because of my design background, color and texture are important to me. I enjoy creating unexpected color combinations, and also love the traditional baby pink and blues. I love using different fibers with varied weights to create different texture in my goods.
After taking a break from the corporate world, I had my daughter in 2010. I made some things for her, and shortly after friends began asking me to make things for them. I decided to begin selling my baby goods as a means to stay home with my daughter and also satisfy the creative bug inside me.

When manufacturing wire rope, textile and chain slings and guy ropes, suspension cables and other load-gripping devices, use is made of such purchased parts as hooks, links and rope thimbles.
In wire rope and chain slings the following hoisting hooks types are applied: hoist hooks equipped with safety locks, eye hooks type 320A and latch hooks type G80.
Load slings may contain the following elements which connect them to the load-gripping arrangements:
- triangular split links PT1, PT3;
- triangular links T;
- oval links Oв.
They are made of high-strength alloyed steel.
Wire rope legs are connected to links with the aid of rope thimbles which are steel curved plates having a trough-like cross-section. Application of rope thimbles helps to preserve the rope and gripping arrangements against abrasive wear. Sling elements (hooks, links) are tested at the Manufacturer's at a static load which exceeds the rated hoisting capacity by 25%.
Shackles are used in hoisting and static systems as detachable connecting elements to steel wire ropes, chains and other rigging arrangements. Two kinds of shackles are produced: Dee rigging shackle type G2150 and bow rigging shackle type G 2130.

1. Alec finds a Christmas box and tells me I have to pretend I think it's full of chocolate (it's not, it's empty) so he can say 'TRICKED YOU!' Then he wants me to persuade him that it's full of chocolate.
2. It is such a small thing, but to have twenty minutes to sit down and sew the buttons back on my coat. I've been going around buttonless for the past few days. And to have someone else cook my supper.
3. When I get home both the children are asleep and Nick is looking very pleased with himself.

Holistic treatment for herpes is highly effective with long-lasting results. When the body is brought into balance, other symptoms (such as stress, digestive issues, menstrual problems, insomnia, and many others) will also be addressed, resulting in overall health and wellness. In addition, the side effects of herbal treatment are minimal (rarely being more serious than loose stools).
The #1 reason people choose holistic medicine is that it works. Healing from the inside-out is the best long-term treatment for herpes outbreaks and prevention of flare-ups. Holistic modalities address many of the underlying triggers of herpes outbreaks (such as stress, exhaustion or period problems). Herbs with anti-viral properties are included in each formula, and specific "guide herbs" are included to target the precise area of the body where lesions occur.
Western medicine treats herpes with topical and internal anti-viral medications. Many of our patients who have previously been on these medications complain of side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and headaches. Some report that the medication could shorten the length of an outbreak and lessen the intensity of symptoms, but they weren't comfortable taking daily medication on a long term basis to prevent recurrences.
Holistic treatment generally lasts between 2 weeks and 3 months, at which time the body is brought into balance.

Defends Valuable Brand Assets: Kevlar®, Nomex® and Tyvek®
Authorized Kevlar® Brand Licensees Launch New, Innovative Products Setting the Pace for the Next 50 Years
DuPont Protection Technologies (DuPont) has reaffirmed its global efforts to defend against unauthorized and illegal use of its trademarks, especially when counterfeiters jeopardize the safety of end-users.
As the owner of iconic brands such as DuPont™ Kevlar®, DuPont™ Nomex® and DuPont™ Tyvek®, DuPont has handled over 700 cases of trademark infringement in the last year, including 19 counterfeit cases. Most of the cases are resolved extra-judicially, however more than two-dozen cases around the world have already been closed through successful legal actions.
In the same timeframe, more than a dozen companies have signed new licensing agreements with DuPont authorizing their use of the DuPont™ Kevlar® brand, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Many customers and licensees continue to innovate with the company's world-renown advanced materials.
"In order to protect the value of our brands and the safety and durability they represent, DuPont takes trademark infringement and fraudulent use of its brands very seriously," said Giselle Ruiz-Arthur, DuPont corporate trademark and copyright counsel. "We have a very effective strategy to combat the problem through a global brand protection steering team that can quickly identify cases to be addressed and take action."
Some of the recent actions the company has taken include training customs officers to recognize illegitimate labeling to help seize counterfeits, working with appropriate authorities to conduct raids, and moving to take down websites that promote illegitimate products. In one instance, the company reported identified counterfeiters selling fake protective apparel in the oil and gas industry to consumer protection agencies around the world.
"Counterfeiting is not a victimless crime and can result in serious harm to consumers. It is critical that those companies whose products are related to health and safety take action to protect the public," said Candice Li-Uzoigwe, International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition (IACC) vice president for global public affairs. "Counterfeiting is a global problem that requires a global solution. We applaud DuPont for its international efforts to address counterfeiting."
As part of its brand-strengthening activities, this year DuPont has entered new licensing agreements, aligning with other well-recognized brands that not only want to use the DuPont™ Kevlar® brand, but also innovate with the technology to launch new products, including: Reebok apparel and footwear; adidas footwear; Dewalt workwear; and Prestone cooling system products.
DuPont Protection Technologies is a leader in technologies and products that protect people, the environment and critical assets worldwide. DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber is best known for its use in ballistic and stab-resistant body armor, but the use of Kevlar® has been extended to everything from fire fighter and industrial protective clothing to vehicles, fiber optic cables, mining belts, commercial aircraft and city roads, in addition to consumer products such as mobile phones, tires, and high-performance sporting apparel and equipment. DuPont™ Nomex® fiber has offered trusted thermal protection around the world for decades, and DuPont™ Tyvek® uses include sterile medical packaging and personal protective apparel.

Today Horchateria Sirvent de Barcelona continue with all items oriented next summer, and in today's article we will teach you how to prepare a frozen mousse.
Mousses are ideal ice cream to give the finishing touch to any special meal well. This dessert mousses, is exquisite, delicate and very simple to prepare, and allow us to be very good, with whom we share it.
The mousse is a delicious ice cream. Mousses, as we have said are a type of very special and delicate dessert, are basically some ice cream that can be of different flavors, such as lemon, strawberry, coffee, strawberry and more traditional chocolate mousse … .
Its origin, like that of many delicate desserts, is French and means "foam", and that is how you feel on the palate, as long as we develop a correct way the mousse. That frothy consistency is achieved with the beaten egg whites to snow, all main prepared mousse.
Mousses are a good alternative for those who like not so sweet and a lighter flavor than many other desserts desserts.
the common ingredients of mousses are whipped cream, egg yolks, whites are the ones that give a characteristic consistency, unflavored gelatin and sugar. There may be other variants of recipes mousses, but the original essence of mousses, contains these simple ingredients that can get them in an easy way, is why making a frozen mousse in our own home, it will not be a difficult task.
To achieve a spectacular presentation, we can serve the mousse into bowls, ladle glass, ceramic or porcelain, the presentation of the desserts can help this evening is spectacular. It is true that, if the ingredients are not good, do not we arrange a presentation, but in the case of mousse, is not, if the ingredients we choose them we will be first class, and if so, the presentation mousse will make that much more attractive. On the other hand, we can note that it is possible to unmold the mousse and serve on individual plates or a large silver prepare for unmolding entire front of our guests.
But the concept of the mousse for dessert is not everything. The mousse can be used also for the presentation of many dishes, which we have discussed before. The mousse can add to the dishes, first or second, with a starter, and with the simple goal of filling or decorating dishes.
As we said above, we need to prepare this dessert egg whites to snow, which are those that give the characteristic consistency of mousses. The light should always be mixed with soft, enveloping movements, so that the resulting preparation well spongy.
Eggs should always be large, the good quality and at the same time should be at room temperature.
This dessert mousses can be a fruit, and in this case the same fruits should be ripe to disintegrate and make a good homogeneous mash. A cream milk, we should add slightly mixed, that way we can give you a good soft to the desired mousse texture.
A twist can give it a good liquor, that if, always adding a few quality ingredients. In this way we will use a spritz of this drink, as it may be a good cognac, to replace some milk.
All mousses generally need a few hours of pre-cooling before consumption, but if you prepare from one day to the other will be even better, because curdle well prepared and take the right consistency. The key you see, is in the rest of all the mousse, a repose that should always be at low temperature.
In some cases it is advisable to mix the mousse gently during the first half an hour in the refrigerator, to ensure that the preparation of the egg whites and cream do not separate.
In the case that the mousse is coffee, you can use instant coffee or ground coffee. If we choose the ground coffee, do not forget strain the infusion prepared before incorporating it into the mousse, but we could 'disturb' all the work of the mousse, and we would not be too rich mousse.
The best chocolate for this dessert is bitter, which contains a high percentage of cocoa. When dedicate ourselves to chocolate, we must carry us patience when you melt chocolate and keep well all indications of the recipe, because otherwise you can cut and form lumps, completely ruining mousse.
If we are to use the mousse as filling a sponge cake before adding the egg whites we can incorporate an envelope unflavored gelatin, gelatin the we dissolve a tablespoon of cold water, and after cooling, two tablespoons of hot water. This will give a special flavor.
Here we offer a recipe for lemon mousse. A delicious recipe for delight the palate of all our guests.
However, before starting the recipe, and the explanation of how this mousse magnificent lemon done, I must comment that if you are very fond of mousses we could even say that you have an obligation to transmit this passion for mousses all people from your homes, that way you can enjoy together this spectacular dessert mousses are.
