Commonly Asked Questions
Understand the process for entering a residential aged care home, learn about the terms used in aged care service industry and much more.
1. What is the process for entering a residential aged care home?
a. Call us and our friendly staff will guide you through the steps
b. Choose your new home. We recommend visiting a few aged care homes to truly gain a feel for the community, and meet the staff and others who already call them home.
c. Learn about the various fees and charges that are involved in entering residential care. Find out if you are eligible for financial support.
d. Gain independent financial advice. It's important to get independent financial advice when considering aged care services.
e. Before you move in to your new home, you will need to formally apply by completing both our and the Government's paperwork.
f. Move in. Our in-home team will be on hand to help make the transition and assist with giving your new home a personal, familiar feel.
2. How much will it cost?
There are three different types of fees and charges that may apply when moving into any aged care home; Basic Daily Care Fee, Means Tested Fee and the Accommodation Payment.
- Basic Daily Care Fee - This is the standard charge for every resident in aged care set by the Australian Government and is calculated at 85% of your single Centrelink pension. This fee covers costs for meals, laundry and utilities.
- Accommodation Payment - All residents who the Commonwealth Government determines to be non-supported will pay an Accommodation Payment. There are four options for paying the Accommodation Payment; Refundable Accommodation Deposit, Daily Accommodation Payment, a Combination Payment and a Drawdown Payment.
- Means Tested Fee - This is a contribution towards the cost of your care. This fee is determined by Centrelink or DVA and may not be applicable to you.
3. What is the difference between a RAD and a DAP?
- Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) - A lump-sum payment option if you are required to pay for your accommodation in full. This is refunded when the resident leaves the aged care home.
- Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) - A recurring rental type payment option to be paid in increments if you are required to pay for your accommodation in full.
- Combination Payment - A payment option consisting of a part RAD payment supplemented with a Daily Accommodation Payment.
4. What is included in the cost?
There are a wide range of services covered by the above-mentioned charges, including (but not limited to) care, accommodation, room furnishing, electricity, water, cleaning, general laundry, meals and refreshments.
5. Can anyone help with the paperwork?
Our Customer Relations Team are on hand to assist with explaining the paperwork and fees and charges. However, we do recommend that you speak to an independent financial adviser in relation to your specific financial situation. Please note that Catholic Healthcare staff are unable to sign any legal agreement.
6. Do you offer short-term or respite care?
Most of our homes offer two-week respite care or short stay care. This may be used when your carer is away or unable to provide care for any other reason. Respite care is subject to availability and your specific care needs.
7. Is a registered nurse always on site?
Your care and safety is paramount to us, and all staff working in our homes are fully trained to the highest standard. Most of our aged care homes offer registered nursing care seven days a week, 24 hours a day. A small number of our homes do not have 24-hour nursing services. This is based on the people living in those homes being more independent, however, qualified staff are always on hand.
8. Can my doctor visit me in my new home or do I need to change doctors?
Yes, we welcome your chosen personal healthcare professionals to continue to care for you once you move in. However, should you decide to change your doctor or other health professionals, we can introduce you to our visiting healthcare team, including doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dentists.
9. What are the visiting hours?
Just like at your current home, your family and friends (even the four-legged variety) are welcome anytime, day or night. You may also choose to independently participate in activities outside the home.
10. What furniture can I bring?
We encourage you to make your room your own, by hanging pictures and meaningful displaying photos and memory trinkets. All rooms include a minimum of a bed, a lockable set of drawers, a wardrobe and a chair. Should you have a favourite piece of small furniture like a chair or sidetable, please discuss this with our team.

Everybody's writing about this idea that Spotify might go public not through a traditional IPO, but rather through a direct listing. Direct listings are rare beasts, and so in order to understand them, reporters phone up bankers who work in equity capital markets. But the problem is that bankers who work in equity capital markets hate direct listings, because they mean they get much lower fees. And so they start spreading misinformation.
So let's go through some of the assertions.
With market forces determining the share price from the outset, the company's public debut could be more volatile and unpredictable. Also missing would be the large blocks of stock underwriters typically allocate to investors they believe will hold the shares for the long term and promote trading stability.
The fact is that market forces determine the share price of all companies from the minute they're listed on the market. That's the beauty of a stock-market listing: it's a price-discovery mechanism based on market supply and demand. The only thing missing from a direct listing is the IPO price: the price that shares get issued at before the market forces take over. The further the IPO price is from the market price, the greater the first-day volatility. Which means that, in general, if there's no IPO price, volatility will be lower, not higher. (It's true that IPOs also have something called green shoes, which serve to dampen volatility at the margin, but not so much that you'd ever really notice.)
As for the idea that buy-and-hold investors "promote trading stability," that's just weird, since by definition those investors aren't trading. The amount of volatility in the market is entirely a function of the actions of traders; the non-actions of non-traders are utterly irrelevant. And if buy-and-hold investors effectively reduce the free float so that shares become scarcer, that's only going to increase the volatility of the stock.
The move carries a lot of risk: First-day trading performance is particularly crucial for high-profile listings of consumer tech brands like Spotify, and a direct listing leaves the share performance entirely to chance. There's no "deal support," i.e. no guarantee of a nice, healthy first-day pop engineered by careful banker maneuvers. No CNBC commentators gushing that the deal was "priced to perfection."
It's true that most IPOs have a "pop" from the IPO price to the first trade, a/k/a the amount by which the IPO was underpriced. But it's not clear why that pop should be "particularly crucial for high-profile listings of consumer tech brands". No one's going to buy a Spotify subscription because a bunch of institutional investors got rich on their IPO allocation. And while there is a tendency to conflate companies with their share price (see: Twitter), the important thing there is the performance of the shares over time, not the amount of the IPO pop. (Do you remember how Twitter shares performed on their IPO? Me neither.)
Moreover, the IPO process is designed to make it easier for big, long-hold funds to buy into the stock. Companies want their stocks in "safe hands," aka, the funds that have a long term view and "won't puke it" at the first earnings miss, an IPO banker explained to me. Big funds like to invest in IPOs because they can get a "starter position" via share allocation and then buy in the open market to get to a full position size. Beyond that, a banker explained, "building a full position from zero takes a long time, especially if 25 of your biggest competitors are doing the same thing. Some funds will just buy the stock like a jerk and push it up, some will just pass completely."
All of this is good for the share price of a company which goes the direct-listing route! There are a lot of big long-only funds which will want to have some kind of position in Spotify, and which will be starting at zero. Some will "just buy the stock like a jerk," while others won't buy it at all. None of them will be selling it. That's a fantastic structural support for the share price, which lasts much longer than a green shoe.
There is also no "lock-up" period to prevent early-stage investors and employees from selling shares in the months following a listing. Without that, a stock could experience heavy turnover and price fluctuations just as the company is getting its public market footing.
The way that markets work, high prices attract sellers. If you own a stock and it's trading at a low level, you won't feel much desire to sell it, but if someone is offering you a lot of money for it, then you'll be more inclined to accept their offer. So the higher that Spotify shares trade, the more early-stage investors and employees will be inclined to sell into the public market. To a first approximation, the free float will increase as the shares rise. That's a great dynamic!
By contrast, in a traditional IPO, the company and the underwriters spend a lot of time trying to work out just how many shares the market has an appetite for, and the degree to which altering the number of shares being sold might change the price at which they end up trading. Then, when the IPO finally happens, investors spend even more time second-guessing the lock-up period, and trying to work out how many shares are going to flood the market in six months' time when insiders are finally allowed to sell.
Going the direct-listing route solves both these problems. Precisely because there's no lock-up period, investors know that anybody who wants to sell has every ability to sell. There's no shadow overhang out there. That gives them more confidence to buy. And on the other side of the ledger, the company doesn't need to worry about issuing more shares than the market has an appetite for, because it's not issuing any shares at all.
Effectively, the direct-listing route creates market-driven supply, rather than company-mandated supply. Which, again, should decrease, rather than increase, "heavy turnover and price fluctuations".
Spotify is betting that its strong name recognition would help make a drawn-out and costly initial offering process unnecessary.
The implication here is that the IPO roadshow is necessary to get the market familiar with the company, and comfortable with the idea of buying its shares. That's true, when there are lots of shares the company is trying to sell in an IPO. But when there are zero shares that the company is trying to sell, that concern goes away. The market just becomes a market between willing buyers (presumably, people who are familiar with the company, however few of those people there might be), and willing sellers (insiders who are being offered so much money that they're OK with parting with their stock). In that sense, it's a bit like the pre-IPO trading that we saw on Second Market with Facebook. You don't need name recognition for that, and of course most listed companies have little to no name recognition anyway. No matter how drawn-out and costly their IPO.
Should Spotify list directly, it probably would do so at a valuation of about $13 billion, one of the people who had been briefed said.
It's really hard to know what this means. In an IPO, the IPO price (pre-pop) is the official valuation you go public at. With a direct listing, there's just trading, there's no official valuation which the company can control. Often, as part of the IPO process, bankers will try to anticipate how much the shares will trade for, on the open market, and sometimes they're even right. So maybe the $13 billion number is just someone's guess as to where the market will value Spotify. But that's all it is: a guess.
Spotify couldn't use going public the way most companies do: as an occasion to raise more money. The company would simply be valued at its most recent private-market valuation (currently $13 billion), and new investors would start buying shares from current stakeholders.
It's true that a direct listing means that the company can't raise new equity capital. That's the main downside. But the whole point is that it would not, any longer, "be valued at its most recent private-market valuation": instead, it would be valued the same way every other public company is, according to the market's price discovery mechanism.
It's possible that some existing shareholders, as well as some other potential buyers, would use the most recent private-market valuation as an anchoring mechanism: they might be reluctant to sell above that level, or keen to buy below it. But those anchoring mechanisms tend not to last very long, and realistically it's quite improbable that the initial public-company valuation will, by astonishing coincidence, turn out to be exactly the same as the most recent private-market valuation.
I really like the idea of direct listing, especially for companies which don't need to raise additional capital (or who don't mind doing so on the secondary market). It helps to marginalize Wall Street investment banks, for one thing, which is generally a good thing. So let's not listen to their parade of horribles when it comes to reasons not to do it. And let's hope that Spotify both goes the direct-listing route and is very happy with the results.

Ha, Ha, I just realised how many holes there are between posts, Life suddenly got very busy in our house.
We got the new house in Richmond VA, Paul got a new job down here as a joint analyst for a depot. Then in November we got the news he was deploying for 5 months, we moved, and then 5 days later he left.
The kids started up after Christmas break with a new school and I have been working on the house. I sort of fell off the planet while Paul was gone because I was doing the house, school, dealing with the kids alone, and anytime I had on the Internet was spent talking to Paul. I will probably post some catch up stuff later, as I did post a little to my LJ and I jut didn't do very well at keeping up here because I haven't sent the info out much to family so I wasn't sure anyone was really reading it anyway.
Paul is back now and after a quick jaunt down to Florida for a family vacation he will be back at work and I should be better about posting……..well except for the fact that it's summer vacation and I have the kids at home keeping me busy, and my school still, and the house……..anyway.

It's important to gain know-how about maintaining your home. Aside from having a yearly pest control for termites or monitoring leaking pipes, households should have their electric needs ensured. Sometimes, the head of the family handles the first light bulb defect and electrical fixes are carried out on from there without professional help. Electrical emergencies and safety advices should be considered firsthand because it is pretty much the power and energy supply of an entire house. If it is upgrading your switchboard, installing new power points and lighting, the household needs an expert electrician. An electrician has to be friendly not just within the service time but also with the work costs. No need to leave homeowners and clients playing the guessing game!
Fast and Dependable
Electricians should be available on the day you want their service. There are those electricians that even dictate their own schedules. Well, they should be honest about schedules that are prioritized but should be strategic as possible in allocating their workers. On the other hand, customers should be aware of their town's postcode to find the nearest electrician. Your local electrician should not keep you waiting in line as electrical repairs Ipswich would guarantee.
Offers a firm quote
Home electrical services might not tell all problems involved. Either it's to keep clients from having an idea that they're just adding costs or assuring everything is fixed, electricians should tell the problems they could not address at the moment. Assessing their job and encountering new challenges add up their years of experience. As long as they are straightforward and allow practical contingencies, customers will still be at ease. A free quote from air conditioner installation Springfield Lakes, for example, explains everything involved and why.
Tells work costs in advance
Electrical jobs can go on for hours and even for a whole day. Customers worry that the full price for the repair might not be more than they expected. Reputable and dependable electricians should tell the work costs before they start. Some might think it's wiser to charge by hour to have additional pay. It's even wisest to have the electrical pricing by hour because in the long-term, clients will be assured of the fixed price and results from the service they called in either residential, industrial or commercial.
Tidy while Working
While electricians should be paid for their job, reliable electricians know how to clean as they work. Electrical contractors should tidy, vacuum up their work area and leave it as it was before. Customers don't want their electrical needs be solved but then deal with another messy load. You deserve the best service from electricians who go beyond their job description and core skills. Upon completion of the work, safety also comes next so a post-job clean-up is just necessary.
24/7 Emergency-ready
Emergencies are unpredictable and occur on the most inconvenient of times. Electrical testing, air-conditioning installations and electrical maintenance, for instance, should be provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Service scheduling should also be available even on public holidays. Top it off with a fast response in times of emergency, clients would not settle for anything electrical-wise. Don't worry about calling past midnight.
Guaranteed Client-Centered Work
Expert master electricians don't just excel in their line of work in any type of electrical system. They are motivated to always think about their customers and clients first. When an appointment is scheduled, they don't leave it waiting for time is always valuable for them. If they are late, they should deduct from the full price of the work or give 25% cash back (depending on their policy). Aside from that, their handiwork is supported by a lifetime warranty which covers for any further work necessary.

A New Year of Doing What I love
Our Work | January 1, 2011
Check out this great free printable from How Joyful. I love it so much I framed it for my desk.
Looking back at this past year I can't believe how lucky I am to get to do what I love to do. There have definitely been some ups and downs along the way. Anyone who owns their own business will tell you that half the time you just want to throw up your hands and quit. But my wonderful clients and fun projects keep me coming back time after time.
I have many New Year's Resolutions for my business and blog and hopefully I will be able to progress and improve every day.
I'd love to hear from you!
What do you want me to blog more about? Less about?
What are your favorite things to read about? How can I make my blog better?
I appreciate all of my readers. Thank you so so so so much for reading my blog!


text: cdn_olds_94 45 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Now that the weather is starting to get warmer, I've started fixing the coolent leak in my 94 Cutlass Convertible with the 3.4 DOHC. I knew where the leak was and made a plan to get the coolent pipe out to see if it could be fixed or get a replacment one. So after 2hours of fighting, I got it out. I think that the rust rot is too far gone to weld up but it's only in one spot so I think that I can cut it out and weld a new sleeve over it. If i can't fix this I'm hoping that I can find a replacment tube. Edited March 23, 2019 by cdn_olds_94 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wiremu Tuhiwai will be leading the Joy of Improv (for any level of experence) and Ali Little Improv The Next Step (for people with a basic grounding in improv). Both are running Thursday nights May 10th to June 28th from 7.30 to 9.30pm. The Next Step group will also be putting on a graduation show on Thursday July 5th.
The classes are run in association with the Wellington Community Education Centre, which operates a delicious smorgasbord of Adult Education at various community venues, including many (like these) at the Wellington High School in Taranaki St, Mt Cook.
There are still a limited number of places left in both, so maybe it's not too late to warm up the dark nights of winter with a whole bunch of laughter.

Friday was a good day. We had wings brought in to work, got to watch a few basketball games, and then went to get a good workout. We had already decided that Friday was going to be pizza party night, because AU was playing! We played like utter garbage, but ended up winning the first game! Boogs got to stay up a little later than his normal bed time, so we think he had a pretty good time.
Saturday – St Paddys! We got up and got our green on! B made Jell-O shots the night before, so we had to try one out of course! Why don't Jell-O shots get the respect they deserve? They are so good! We got really lucky that the rain that was hanging out in the morning was gone by the time we headed downtown to meet up with daycare mom and her crew. There was so much for the kiddos to do! We made green slime, threw baseballs, got terrified of the costumed Vulcan and Chick-fil-a cows. We all had some Chick-fil-a for lunch and got ready to watch the parade. B and I have never actually seen the parade before, but it was honestly a lot of fun! They throw a ton of goodies out (Sheffield was content just hanging on Daddy's shoulders), and it's relatively short, so the attention span of the kiddos lasted the whole parade. It really was a lot of fun. Plus the day was gorgeous, so B and I sat on the patio and watched boogs play until it was time for dinner.
Sunday was super lazy. We lounged around the morning listening to jazz music and playing with firetrucks. We spent the rainy afternoon inside watching Auburn get stomped. It was so bad at halftime that we turned it off and watched Clueless.
All in all it was a pretty good weekend, and we got to do something new in Birmingham. We will definitely be going to that parade any time we're in town for it – it really was a blast! Hope you guys had a good weekend!

Mobile Scanning Solutions - Overview
The professional solution for scanning and converting documents on smartphones and tablets.
Businesses maintain the highest possible quality standards when scanning incoming paper mail, allowing them to use sophisticated systems to assign it to the appropriate employee's digital inbox with a minimum of manual intervention.
Increasingly, though, we are all starting to use smartphones and tablets instead of paper mail – to "just quickly scan this document" by photographing it and sending it as an email attachment. The quality of these images tends to be problematic, and processing them is an entirely manual job.
This is where Mobile Scanning Solutions come in, providing solutions that ensure the ideal document is produced right at the moment of capture on the smartphone. We've developed a whole range of filtering and QA algorithms and made them available both as an app and in SDK form.
Make a virtue out of necessity: equip your app with the ability to scan or digitally submit documents. The Mobile Scanning Solutions provide everything you need. Development time is minimal – we've already solved each problem for you.
Naturally, the software also includes our award-winning MRC technology: fourth-generation mobile networks may be fast, but users are still limited by their data allowances – there's no need for them to use it all up sending just one or two documents.

Matthew 13:52 English Standard Version (ESV)
52 And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016. Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
My year always starts in September unlike the rest of the world. For the past 30 odd years, at this time, I could always be found in the school preparing for the new young scholars who would soon wander into the hallowed halls of learning. I loved using the time to reflect and consider my praxis – to consider what treasures I could bring to each child to support their learning.
Thankfully, in the same manner, our faith, and, by extension- the church- is continually evolving. I wonder what this means for us as the body of Christ, now and in the future. What are we willing to let go of and what do we desire to give ourselves to?
The language and development of some of Jesus' parables point to finding, discovering, being surprised, changing roles and status. Jesus uses metaphors such as the maturing ear of corn, the seed, weeds and wheat growing together and yeast rising. Life is not static. Something new and good is coming into being.
What does this mean for us? Why is it important? We humans grow and change slowly. As we take the next steps of our journey this fall, let us remember to be patient and reflective, bringing out and considering all our treasures as we make room to welcome what is good and new.

Tweet us not into temptation, but deliver us from ourselves.
Famous people are, after all, just like us. They might have more money. They might have more fame. But when their mood is difficult and their Twitter machine is at hand, self-expression is but a few characters away from self-destruction.
Famous English golfer Lee Westwood -- by most accounts a thoroughly congenial man -- had to apologize Monday after he let Twitter's hissing snakes lead him into the putrid pit where they live.
As ESPN reports, he spent three Twitter hours on Sunday night excoriating and expectorating upon those who goaded him without reason or purpose.
He called them "minions." This, I fear, might have encouraged them. He called them "girly boy trolls." This might, at least, have had them calling their psychiatrists for an urgent appointment.
Still, Westwood's Twitter foray showed that the nastiness was getting to him -- however deftly he tried to swat it.
Now, every time he doesn't win a major or has some kind of meltdown on the course, those who spend their time doing little more than huffing and puffing will be tweeting to be cutting about his putting. There might even be more of the minions.
He will survive. Moreover, he isn't Professor Hugo Schwyzer.
Until last Friday, Schwyzer was famous for being a male feminist and a professor of porn. Perhaps you have missed his work. Ricki Lake has not.
Among many things, he used to tell those of his gender that real feminist men should date women of their own age.
Last Friday, he began to expose himself on Twitter. No, not merely in a Weinerian way. This was quite Shakespearian.
Suddenly, around 100 tweets emerged from him in an hour, all offering that he was something of a deceiver. The word he used was "fraudulent."
A sample of his Friday Night Insights: "I am so sorry that I so often wrote posts about my exes designed to make me seem hot and them seem fragile."
Ultimately, it seemed that he chose Twitter to simply unburden himself. He tweeted: "Being microinfamous sucks."
It's unclear whether this is because he wanted not to be famous or to be macrofamous.
As the Daily Beast reports, he admitted: "I was just so toxically addicted to affirmation I would do anything to get it."
Not only did he say that he "lied and manipulated and cheated," but he also admitted that despite being married, he had enjoyed affairs with younger women.
He told the Daily Beast that he couldn't even delete his tweets: "I gave up my Twitter password while I was in the hospital. I was pulled away from the computer by the police because someone had called me in as potentially suicidal."
In one of his last tweets, he explained: "I suffer from bipolar disease with psychotic features. But I do not think that truth erases the harm I have done. It puts it in a context."
Somehow, Twitter has become quite a repository for the immediate and regrettable.
Many believe that Twitter is now the first place to go for news, so if you're feeling like addressing attentive masses and getting an instant reaction, Twitter is your stage.
Perhaps it's just one of the reasons why Facebook, as it tries to become "a personalized newspaper," is trying to copy some of Twitter's essentials. Yes, it's courting famous people.
The nasty hector on Twitter, just to get at those of whom they are fundamentally envious. Famous people use it to broadcast directly and manage their message.
But once on Twitter, those same famous managers can melt down quickly. Or even slowly. In the case of both Westwood and Schwyzer, they didn't just stop with a couple of tweets. They went on and on and on, around 150 tweets between them.
Normally, we do our whining in private and those closest to us put their little hand over our mouths and then lead us to our bedchamber.
Once we've let go on Twitter, though, it's too late for that. Even those closest to us just sit and shake their heads.
Then they unfollow us.

The massacre of civilian protesters by a military junta in Guinea has created another potential flashpoint in Africa. More than 150 protesters died Monday during skirmishes between protesters and Guinean troops, according to a local rights group. The junta claims that most of the victims were crushed to death as the protesters tried to flee the stadium, but eyewitnesses said troops killed scores by firing live rounds into the crowd. Human Rights Watch reports that some soldiers bayoneted citizens and raped women in the streets.
The victims of this massacre are opponents of the military regime who gathered in the tens of thousands for Monday's protests, which were called after reports that the leader of the military junta had reneged on promises not to run for president in upcoming elections.
The military junta of Captain Moussa Dadis Camara was originally welcomed by the public when it came to power in a bloodless coup on Dec. 23. 2008, following the death of then-president Lansana Conte. But Mr. Camara's junta has faced increasing pressure from within the country – and from Western donor nations and from the African Union – as it has refused to step down. Just last week, the AU threatened possible sanctions against Guinea.
The Monitor asked Richard Moncrieff, the head of the West Africa office of the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think-tank, to explain the roots and possible solutions for the current conflict.
CSM: What is behind the violence? Were there any warning signs that the military would use violence against the protestors?
Moncreiff: "I think there have been warning signs for quite a long time. Ever since the junta came to power and even before that – in the riots of 2007 – the military has acted with impunity. They have a record of shooting without provocation and without warning. So this is not particularly surprising."
What are the protests about?
"People don't want the military in power. I think there was some public support for the military, because they came to power in a bloodless coup and that was unexpected. But their support has diminished."
Who is Capt. Camara, and why did he launch a coup last year?
"Before the coup, Dadis Camara was completely unknown. He has no natural base of support. Since he came into government, he has tried to gather support by dishing out money, by giving out [government jobs], but it hasn't worked."
Could the violence spread?
"There is a danger of the violence spreading. Guinea and Liberia share a border, and Liberia has just come out of a civil war. Dadis Camara comes from an ethnic community that is on both sides of the Guinea-Liberia border. So the first and most important scenario we have to be concerned about is rising tensions along the border area."
What is the world prepared to do to stop the violence?
"I think there has to be constant international pressure and for the military to realize they have no impact in the country. In addition to Africa Union sanctions, they [the military] need to be offered a way out in order to save the country from further violence. Whether this can be done or not, I don't know."
After the Monitor spoke with Moncrieff, Guinea's former colonial ruler, France, led international condemnation of the massacre and promised action.
"France has decided to immediately suspend military cooperation with Guinea. It is also reviewing its entire bilateral aid," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said. "At our request, the European Union will meet tomorrow in Brussels to examine additional measures, particularly against individuals, that could be taken swiftly."

Raheny (Ráth Eanaigh in Irish) is a northern suburb of Dublin, Ireland, halfway from the city centre to Howth. It is centred on a historic settlement, first documented in 570 CE (Mervyn Archdall). The district shares Dublin's two largest municipal parks, Saint Anne's Park and Bull Island with its 4.5 km beach, with neighbouring Clontarf, and is crossed by several small watercourses.
Raheny is also a civil parish in the ancient barony of Coolock.[1] The coastal hamlet grew rapidly in the 20th century, and is now a mid-density Northside suburb with a village core.

Painting and Decorating Services in Raheny
Are you considering giving your home or business a fresh look? Do you have to repaint after a tenant has vacated your property? Do you have to fix water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mould was removed? It could be tempting to do the task yourself, which can result in cost savings. However, there are many reasons you should consider selecting a professional painter and decorator support.
Costs of Equipment
Proper painting of either interiors or exteriors requires an investment in gear — brushes, rollers, sprayers, tarp to protect surfaces and surfaces, ladders, scaffolding, sanders, compound knifes, patching materials, solvents, the list can become long and pricey. Hiring a professional painter and decorator usually means that the painter comes with the tools that they will need to do the job correctly, will clean up those tools whenever they're done and will require them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Preventing a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the ideal equipment and be knowledgeable and experienced with how to protect furniture, floors, cabinets, walkways and other things that you don't need painted from any harm. If your job entails staining, a professional will have the correct equipment and expertise to apply the stain correctly to achieve the right finish and once attained, shield that finish.
A professional painter will even completely clean up the work area once the project is finished.
Preparation is Essential
A professional painter and painter will know that preparation is the key to a good looking, long-lasting paint job. Areas with water or mold staining may require additional therapy and diluting until they are prepared for a last paint job. It's a good deal of work and if it's not done correctly with proper instruments and methods, it won't result in an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to generate a gorgeous excellent finish and in addition, it takes skill that is developed with practice and experience. A professional will learn how to finish each of their preparation and painting tasks required to reach the best effect.
A professional painter may also understand the materials which are required to perform the job correctly. Which primer will offer the right coverage? Oil or latex? Which primer base is required? What paint base? Roller or spray?
A professional painter will have the ability to recommend materials that are best to get the look you want, while avoiding any damage to your surfaces. With that information, you can achieve a higher quality finish that will last.
For outdoor tasks, a specialist will know the right weather, temperature and sunlight conditions to finish the job with the best outcomes. Stains respond differently in direct sunlight than when it is overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain clearly impacts the job, heat and humidity can also impact the quality of exterior paint finishes. A local expert painter will know the right stuff to use to produce your exterior last as long as possible in Dublin's climate.
Climbing on ladders while attempting to apply paint properly is a skilled job that requires careful focus and attention to avoid serious harm and harm. The higher the site which needs painting, the higher the danger of an accident. For inside jobs with large areas or exterior jobs, a professional painter may have all the resources and experience required to perform the work correctly and safely, including the proper size and layout of ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself takes a substantial amount of time. Using a professional painter and decorator deal with the job for you can save you days and times of effort, and can usually be done in a much shorter period of time.
A research from Trinity College Dublin suggests the average Irish person needs 28 hours daily to accomplish all of his or her tasks. Avoid adding a paint job to this and speak to a professional painter about your needs.
