Roller Shutters
If you're worried about the security of your property when it is empty or unguarded, you may want to consider purchasing roller shutters. These can be easily set up on a home or business address for the ultimate form of protection. If you leave your home on holiday, you need to make sure it's not targeted by criminals. These roller shutters will act as a complete deterrent. They will keep your home or business locked tight, ready for your return.
Window Roller Shutters
Roller shutters can also be installed over your windows as well as your doors. They can be used to protect shop windows as well. Shop windows are a constant target, particularly if they have displays of items. You don't want to leave your shop and home vulnerable. Shutters can be controlled automatically, easy to lift up or pull down.
Security Doors
A single weak spot in your security can be an opening for a sly thief. That's why you need to make sure that all your doors are strengthened and secure. You can not risk the possibility of a criminal finding an opening. Or a trespasser breaking in. Our security doors are made of the most durable and strongest materials on the market. All our security doors are custom made to a superior standard that you can count on.
Security Screens
Our security screens offer protection that is a strong as shutters but more aesthetically pleasing. Security screens provide you an extra level of protection on entrances to your home or office. Rather than looking like a deterrent, they appear to be an extra door or window covering. However, rest assured, no thief or trespasser will be able to break through our screens. Custom made and carefully designed; these screens provide an ultimate form of protection. We can fit them for you without delay.
We can install door shutters on your home to provide you an extra level of protection. These shutters are great for privacy purposes as well. Glass doors are a problem for two reasons. They provide an easy way to enter your home for trespassers, and they allow everyone to see inside. Protecting your privacy is easy with our bespoke shutters.
Window Shutters
Our window shutters are sure to protect your home from onlookers. Better yet, they are easy to pull up, open or close. You'll have full control of who can see inside your home and when it is completely closed off. Before you go to bed or head out, pull down the shutters and close them. Police believe that thieves are less likely to risk a home break in if they can't see what's inside the building.
Commercial Roller Shutters
Your office could be vulnerable to a break-in at any time. Day or night, you need to make sure it is completely protected. Our commercial roller shutters are designed to a high quality and will guarantee your business has the protection it needs. We can provide roller shutters in bulk for large business addresses at an affordable cost. If you are the head of a company you only want the highest level of security and we can provide it.
Residential Roller Shutters
Residential roller shutters are the ultimate form of security if you're leaving your home for a long period. Or, if you just want to make sure your home is protected while you're at work or in bed. Our residential roller shutters are the best solution. They will guarantee that your home looks fully protected and stops thieves in their tracks. We can guarantee that there's no way into your home. You'll be able to rest easy knowing that your family and your possessions are safe.

The recent Hollywood movie The Intern, about a 72-year-old retiree who becomes the latest intern in an internet start-up company, is more than just an amusing idea. It is becoming more of a reality. Alan Field looks at the advantages of employing older workers.
According to a recent Price Waterhouse Cooper (PwC) Golden Age Index report , the UK could be taking more competitive advantage of an older workforce.
PwC claims that if the UK employment rate for people aged 55 to 69 equalled that of Sweden, the GDP of the UK would increase by some £100 billion (about 5% of the UK total). In other words, UK plc is missing a trick. Older workers are a valuable resource and should not be there merely to support legal or corporate social responsibility goals.
What is an older worker?
The notion of retirement ages and what is meant by career progression have been evolving in recent years.
The PwC Golden Age Survey (which is referred to within the report) talks about older workers as those who are 55–69 years of age but, of course, "older" workers might be defined outside those ranges by some organisations or sectors. In terms of the Golden Age Survey, the UK only sits about midway in the international league table in terms of take-up of older workers.
Jon Andrews, Head of PwC's global people and organisation practice, said: "This group of workers is too often overlooked by businesses and government, but our research shows there could be big economic gains from policies directed at keeping people skilled and motivated to stay in the workforce for longer."
In some sectors, experience and seniority — traditionally the mainstay of corporate organisations — have been replaced, in recent years, by fast moving technological and market changes that can seem, to some employers, the domain of the younger, more agile workers, whether this is a valid conclusion or not.
The other change is more fundamental. Traditionally, people had a "job for life", sometimes with a final salary pension, frequently index linked. Any adult children they had would often be in permanent employment with similar benefits. Housing was, for at least some, both suitable and affordable.
This has now changed for many people. Some workers may feel the need to continue working beyond normal retirement age or they may wish to work longer to offer financial support to their children or grandchildren. Also, recessions have led to layoffs and older workers will sometimes find it difficult to find other permanent work.
The changing nature of the workplace also means that some older workers will simply want to do new things, learn new skills and have new challenges. This can be turned into a competitive advantage by any employer, including those in the FM sector.
However, the other driver is simply this. There is an ageing workforce as a result of demographic changes. For example, in the world's biggest economy — the US — the AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons) in its April 2015 report A Business Case for Workers 50+ — A Look at the Value of Experience calculated that, by 2022, over 35% of the American workforce will be made up by those who are 50 years of age or older. Back in 2002, the same percentage was 25% — the curve is upwards. This is typical in Western economies and all employers will need to become smarter in the way that older workers are employed and developed to mutual advantage.
Some employers, and arguably this could include those providing certain FM functions, might offer cleaning or landscape maintenance roles to older workers because they see them as less ambitious than younger workers and, especially those receiving pensions, more flexible about part-time or zero-hours working.
These are negative assumptions and do not necessarily reflect how an older workforce could be developed to the employer's advantage and, indeed, to support the type of national infrastructure that the FM sector can benefit from in terms of new business.
As John Hawksworth, PwC Chief Economist and co-author of the PwC report, commented: "Given ageing populations across the developed world, it is critical that countries make better use of their older workers to boost economic output and help fund rising state pension and healthcare bills."
In other words, there are wider business considerations beyond individual workers' expectations.
What does this mean in practice?
There are two separate but closely connected issues.
Ensuring that older workers are retained, which includes making sure there are career paths for the over 50s.
Defining the advantages of employing older workers, some of whom may be past normal retirement age (although, as we know, even this concept of a definite date to retire is looser with the abolition of the default retirement age).
Taking the latter example first, Barclays and National Express have apprenticeship schemes for older workers (reported by the Financial Times on 2 June 2015) and, in the retail sector employers — such as B&Q — actively recruit older workers. Experience, flexibility in working hours and customer care skills may all be areas where older workers have an advantage, depending on the individual and the role. In one sense, all employees should be seen as "ageless", ie an individual should be assessed by his or her potential (or current) employer for his or her suitability for a particular role; for some roles, maturity may bring advantages, whereas with others it may be a different balance of criteria. Non-discrimination is, in one sense, being aware of an individual's skills and potential, irrespective of age or other factors.
This brings us back to the first point about retaining older workers. A number of strategies can be used, eg providing wider staff consultation and promoting an understanding of why different generational groups interact in the way they do within a workplace; in turn, this can be developed to mutual and competitive advantage. For example, a recent press release from Sodexo explained how its award winning "GenMatch" approach worked. To gain employees' involvement, Sodexo presented them with a specially designed board game. The aim was to help challenge generational stereotypes by getting teams to talk about differences in an informal way. More than 1600 sets of the game were distributed to around 200 sites, encouraging employees to appreciate Sodexo's diverse workforce and the opportunities and challenges this presents.
The network, which attracted more than 300 members in its first four months, also organised a series of workshops and webinars covering "life stage" matters such as managing childcare and being a carer.
Sean Haley, Managing Director of Service Operations for Sodexo UK and Ireland and Executive Sponsor of the generations workstream, said: "The differences between generations can lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication but, in a workplace situation, if we raise awareness of those differences and harness people's individuality, it can have a huge impact on the way we work together and help us perform better as a business ."
In other words — and in all organisations — the question of accepting an older workforce is not just something for the board to consider. It is a process of acceptance across all levels of staff.
Facilities management, dynamic as it is, still has a number of roles where stability and maturity are key elements over and above any desire for career progression. Also, rather like the storyline in The Intern, older workers can bring a surprising range of skills from their earlier employment or other life experiences.
In other words, while areas such as legal compliance and corporate social responsibility are important considerations, as the PwC Golden Age Survey shows, there is competitive advantage to be had from taking advantage of an ageing workforce.

Santa Clara closes out its regular season schedule this week in Southern California. The Broncos travel to LMU for an 8 pm game on Thurs., Feb. 27. They close out the regular season schedule at 5 pm on Sat., March 1 at Pepperdine.
The LMU game will be shown live on Comcast Bay Area and Time Warner with Ari Wolfe and Jarron Collins making the call. It will also be broadcast live on KDOW 1220 AM and SantaClaraBroncos.com as part of the Bronco Radio Network. Anthony Passarelli is in his seventh season as the Broncos' play-by-play announcer.
Santa Clara leads the series 84-57 vs. LMU, including its 86-81 overtime victory on Jan. 4. LMU knocked the Broncos out of the WCC Tournament last season with a 60-58 victory. LMU won 82-64 in LA last year on Jan. 10 and SCU returned the favor at home with a 79-56 victory on Feb. 28.
The Broncos are 12-17 and 5-11 in the WCC. Santa Clara defeated Pacific 70-50 Feb. 20 before falling 76-54 vs. Saint Mary's on Feb. 22. LMU is 11-17 and 3-13 in the WCC. The Lions have lost 13 of their last 14 games, including a 72-69 loss at Pepperdine on Feb. 20. Its lone win during the span was a 92-81 victory at Pacific on Jan. 23. Entering Thursday's game, the Broncos are tied for eighth place with Pacific and LMU is in 10th place.
Three Broncos have averaged double figures all season: Brandon Clark, Jared Brownridge and Evan Roquemore. Clark averages 17.0 and Brownridge 16.3. Roquemore adds 10.3 ppg off the bench. In WCC games, Clark averages 17.9, Brownridge 17.6 and Roquemore 10.0. Brownridge, the leading contender for the WCC Newcomer of the Year, has started every game for the Broncos while Clark has started 28 of the team's 29 games this season, coming off the bench on senior day on Feb. 22.
Almost History
Evan Roquemore is on the cusp of breaking two career school records. Already the assists career record holder, Roquemore needs to log 43 more minutes to break Kevin Foster's career minutes played school record (4,212, 2008-13).
Even more impressive, Roquemore needs to hit three more free throws to break the school record set by Ken Sears. On the cover of Sports Illustrated his senior year, his 470 free throws made career record has stood for 59 years. Sears also holds the record for free throws attempted at 608, also from 1951-55. Roquemore is No. 2 all-time with 582 free throws attempted.
Roquemore enters the LMU game with 572 career assists, a Bronco school record. Roquemore is No. 9 all-time in the WCC, passing Gonzaga's John Stockton (554, 1980-84) vs. Portland on Feb. 1. He needs two assists to pass Portland's Darwin Cook at No. 8 (573, 1976-80) and 18 more assists to move to No. 7, dishing past Gonzaga's Jeremy Pargo (589, 2005-09).
Roquemore broke the Bronco career assists record vs. Radford on Dec. 16 with a dandy dish to Jared Brownridge in the first half, topping Brian Jones (517, 1996-2001). Last year Roquemore set the single season assists record with 196, topping John Woolery (190, 1993-94).
Roquemore has collected an assist in 128 of 131 career games. His first three season he had at least one assist in each game. He has been credited with no assists three times this year: at Cal Poly, vs. Gonzaga and at BYU. Looking back, Jones missed an assist in just three games (Dec. 21, 1996 at Pacific, Jan. 22, 1997 at USF; and March 4, 2000 vs. USF). Jones only had one game his final three years without an assist (USF, 2000). Steve Nash had eight games his freshman year with no assists, but the final three years of his career he had at least one assist in every game he played in during his Bronco career.
He's just the third player in school history to collect 1,500+ points and 500+ assists. The other two: Jones (1,722 pts., 517 asts., 1996-01) and Nash (1,689 pts., 510 asts., 1992-96).
In the Feb. 20 win vs. Pacific Roquemore was credited with four assists, but went without a field goal (0-8) for just the third time in his career - a first during his career in regular season play. Both of his games without field goals came on March 25 oddly enough. He was 0-4 at Purdue on March 25, 2013 and 0-10 at SMU March 25, 2011. Those first two were post-season games on the road.
WCC Career Assist Leaders
1. Orlando Smart, USF 902 1990-94
2. Terrell Lowery, LMU 689 1988-92
3. Matt Santangelo, GON 668 1997-00
4. Carl Ervin, SEA 659 1977-80

Last Time vs. LMU
Jared Brownridge scored seven of his 29 points in overtime and Brandon Clark hit 7 of 8 free throws in the extra session lifting the Broncos to an 86-81 win over LMU on Jan. 4. Three times in the final three minutes of regulation SCU took a two-point lead and LMU was able to knot the game on each occasion. Clark hit both ends of a one-and-one for a 68-66 lead at 1:55 but Anthony Ireland responded with a jumper to tie the game again with 1:44 left. Ireland's jumper from the elbow with 12.1 left tied the game at 70-70 following two Clark free throws with 29.2 left. Gabe Levin blocked a potential game-winning shot from Evan Roquemore at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.
The Broncos started out quickly in the overtime period, scoring the first seven points. Brownridge sandwiched a three and a layup around a pair of Clark free throws to stake the Broncos to a 77-70 lead halfway through the OT period. The Lions got within two at 82-80 after Ireland converted a 3-point play with 14.3 left, but Clark drained four free throws in the final 14 seconds to get the Broncos the win.
Santa Clara shot 41.3% from the field, including 40% from beyond the arc and 88.9% from the free throw line. Clark led the team with 26 points, hitting 13 of 14 free throws for the game. The 26 points are a career high in the WCC for Clark. Evan Roquemore scored 10 points with five assists. John McArthur grabbed a team-high eight rebounds.
LMU shot 49.3% from the field and missed all 7 3-point attempts. The Lions shot 68.4% from the free throw line. Ireland scored 20 of LMU's final 23 points on his way to a 34. He hit 12 of 22 field goal attempts and 10 of 12 free throws in his third career 30-point game. Ben Dickinson added 12 while C.J. Blackwell and Evan Payne each scored 10.
With 978 career points, Brandon Clark is expected to be the next Bronco to reach 1,000 career points when he scores 22 more points. He will be the 32nd Bronco with 1,000 plus points in his career and the seventh under head coach Kerry Keating.
The team's lone 1,000+ career point scorer, Evan Roquemore missed the first four games with a back injury. Roquemore sits at No. 11 with 1,579 career points as he passed Kyle Bailey vs. Saint Mary's (1,571 points, 2001-05). With eight points scored, he will pass No. 10 Ken Sears (1,586 points, 1951-55).
Last year's Bronco team was the first team in WCC history to feature four 1,000 point career scorers. Along with Roquemore, the team had Kevin Foster (No. 1, 2,423 points), Marc Trasolini (No. 5, 1,699 points) and Raymond Cowels III (No. 26, 1,090 points).
Brandon Clark (493) and Jared Brownridge (473) have combined to score 966 points this season, good enough to be the ninth-best tandem in school history. With 34 more points between the two of them, they will become the ninth tandem in school history to score 1,000 points in a season.
Two other milestones could also made this season. Clark needs to score 10 more points to tie Londale Theus at No. 20 on the single season points scored list (503, 1978-79). Brownridge needs 14 more points to break the Bronco freshman scoring record set by Kevin Foster (486, 2008-09).
If Clark and Browridge both score 500+ points each this season, it will be just the fourth time in school history a pair has scored 500+ points each in a single season; and it will have happened in back-to-back years for the first time in school history. Kevin Foster (732) and Marc Trasolini (587) were the last Bronco duo scored 500+ each in 2012-13. Others include Dennis Awtrey (614) and Ralph Ogden (590) in 1969-70 and Harold Keeling (585) and Nick Vanos (544) in 1983-84.
Players Total Year
Kevin Foster (732) and Marc Trasolini (587) 1,319 2012-13
Dennis Awtrey (614) and Ralph Ogden (590) 1,204 969-70
Harold Keeling (585) and Nick Vanos (544) 1,129 983-84
Prior to this year, Brandon Clark hadn't scored 20+ points in a college or high school game since he scored 29 in an AAU game in eighth grade. Clark is having an All-WCC-type season as he has scored 20+ 13 times this season, including 20+ in eight WCC games. His 13 20+ games are tied for third-most since 2000-01. Tops on the list since 2000-01 - Kevin Foster scored 20+ 20 times in 2012-13.
Jared Brownridge has scored 20+ points 11 times this year - second-best for a Bronco freshman since 1990-91. Foster scored 20+ points 11 times his freshman season. Brownridge has led the Broncos in scoring 11 times this year and has scored double-digits in 22 games.
A strong contender for WCC Newcomer of the Year, Jared Brownridge is on pace to break five Bronco freshman records. The first three freshman school records are for points per game, three point field goal percentage and free throw percentage. Those records belong to Kurt Rambis and Steve Nash.
Brownridge averages 16.3 ppg and Rambis averaged 15.3 his freshman year (1976-77). Brownridge hits 41.5 percent of his threes and Nash scored 40.8 percent (1992-93). Nash also scored 82.5 percent of his free throws and Brownridge is making 85.6 percent from the free throw line.
With at least three games left, Brownridge is also on pace to shatter two of Kevin Foster's records from his freshman year (2008-09). Foster scored 486 points and made 85 threes his freshman year. Brownridge, who has scored 473 points and made 78 threes, averages 16.3 ppg and 2.7 threes per game. If he hits his averages in the next four plus games, he would score at least 522 points and make at least 86 threes - both new freshman records.
Brandon Clark leads the Broncos with 17.0 ppg, 3.5 apg and 1.3 spg. If he finishes the season at the top of all three, he would be the first Bronco since Brandon Rohe in 2002-03 to do this (10.6 ppg, 2.4 apg, 1.0 spg). Clark scored zero points in the season opener vs. Bethesda, but has since scored double figures in 25 of the last 28 games. Clark has scored 20+ in eight WCC games this season. All told, Clark has scored 20+ 13 times this year, including a career-high 32 points vs. N.D. State on Nov. 29. During a four-game span (Nov. 12-29), he scored 21+ points in each game; and he was the fourth Bronco player since 2007-08 to accomplish this feat. Scoring 30 points vs. Sacred Heart on Dec. 18, he was the 13th Bronco in school history to have multiple 30+ point games in a single season.
Clark has scored almost 1/4 of his points at the free throw line this year, hitting 85.6 percent (119 of 139). Clark scored a WCC career-high with 26 points vs. LMU on Jan. 4 (career high is 32 vs. North Dakota State on Nov. 29). Half of Clark's points vs. the Lions came at the free throw line, as the East Chicago, Ind. native went 13 of 14 from the free throw line.

Stuart Pearce has selected six of his London 2012 football stars for England's Under-21s squad heading to Israel for next month's European Championships.
Of the 23-man squad, goalkeepers Jack Butland and Jason Steele have once again been trusted to keep guard of England's net by Pearce – the pair joined by Declan Rudd.
Defenders Steven Caulker, Craig Dawson and Danny Rose as well as striker Marvin Sordell have all been chosen for the trip, having helped Great Britain to the quarter-finals at London 2012 – where Pearce's men were beaten on penalties by eventual bronze medallists South Korea.
England have been drawn in a group alongside Italy, Norway and hosts Israel and take on the Italians in their first clash in Tel Aviv on June 5.
And Pearce said: "We set out two years ago to win the tournament. It's a four-step process; you have to get out of your group in qualification, you have to win the play-off, get out of the group in the Finals, then win the tournament.
"We've done two of those, and now we want to go the rest of the way and lift the trophy."

Are Tubulars Faster than Clinchers?
Even before you get to the decision of how deep rims to get, when deciding on a new set of wheels, the first question you need to answer is should you opt for clinchers or tubs (tubulars).
There are many Pros-and-cons to each, but it generally boils down to clinchers are easier to maintain, cheaper to buy, but are heavier and don't have as nicer "feeling" on the road as tubs. Thus it is for these reasons that traditionally most cyclists who race (including pros) will use clinchers for training and tubulars on their race wheels.
However with the advent of wider rims, the integration between a correctly sized clincher tire and the rim is often better than most tubs and their rims and thus they are now considered to be a little more aerodynamic, so could this balance be shifting?
I recently came across this really interesting video (see below) in which Jamie from BikeRadar ran a small experiment to discover if wheels with Tubular tires (Tubs) are quicker than wheels with clincher tires and whilst it is not a massive study under strict scientific and laboratory conditions, it does throw up some interesting points:
To establish which is faster: Tubular wheels or Clincher Wheels.
Jamie compared the performance of his wheels on three short tests, a time trial, a hill and then a series of short sprints.
Whilst this study was not conducted under laboratory conditions with a wind tunnel for example, he still took great care to control as many elements as possible to get his real world results.
For example on the time trial test, he chose a looped course and on a day with very low wind. He also used a time trial bike to have better control of his position on the bike and for consistency obviously used the same clothing helmet etc. Indeed the only difference was the set of wheels and their tires and even then he tried to keep them as close as possible:
Wheels & Tires
Jamie obtained two sets of wheels and tires (share the same compound) that were as close to each other as possible and at the same pressures, with the only really difference being that one was a clincher and the other a tub:
Clincher: Enve SES 4.5 with 25mm Continental Granprix 4000sII with race lite tubes
Tubular: Enve SES 4.5 with 25mm Continental Competition
The weight difference between these two was 316 garams – so for a flat TT course and even the rather short hill that was used for the test, this should really not make that much of a difference.
The tests were then run to a fixed power, so that both runs on the different wheels were at the same power level and thus fatigue was also taken out of the equation.
Time Trial Test (9.7miles/15.6km) at 305 watts
- Clinchers: 23:36
- Tubulars: 23:48
The Clinchers were 12 seconds faster
Hill Test
- Clinchers: 4:56 @426 watts
- Tubulars: 5:00 @424 watts
The Clinchers were 4 seconds faster, but there is a tiny difference of 2 watts in power
Sprint Test
9 second sprints ant maximum effort (about 900 watts)
This was subjective as Jamie just went on feel and he does concede that the tubulars felt like they "accelerated a little bit more crisply".
There is no doubt that this test is eye opening and gives us plenty of food for thought, however we have to remember that it is quite limited in it's scope.
For example I would really like to see this exact test run with a standard box section clincher wand box section tubular. In this way we could perhaps see if it was just the aerodynamics that made the clincher deep section Enve faster, or if it was the small differences in the tires.
Jamie says that after the test he is now a complete convert and would not choose a tubular wheelset over the same clincher version. However I think that in real race conditions and especially on a hilly circuit or course, with the many accelerations and attacks you get, the weight difference between the two will become a factor. Remember when he tested them, even when climbing, he was just using a steady speed without any sudden accelerations etc.

Great. Now I have something else to be afraid of.
There is a bank I go to in DC where they always offer you a miniature candy bar when you visit the teller. Today, deep in a yearning for snacks on my way home from work, I think I actually said, "Oh thank God" out loud when the guy passed me a mini-Krackel.
In other escalator news, I have to go down and up this escalator every day that I go to work.
|It is the longest set of single span escalators in the Western Hemisphere.
If you just stand on the thing, it takes 2 minutes and 45 seconds to travel from top to bottom or vice versa.
It's kinda my nemesis.
When I started working, I would walk carefully down, gripping the side rail. Now I jog down. I hope when I inevitably take my fall that I am at least near the bottom.
I'm also working on jogging up the thing, although on Thank God for Krackel Days, I just stand on it. Sometimes I'll read a chapter of a book as it carries me slowly up. My usual routine is to walk up about 2/3 of it, take a long rest, and then finish.
It's a whole thing.
This isn't about my commute, but I realized something the other day. It is almost exactly a year since I started working. I realized something else as well. Ever since I've started leaving the house to go to work, I haven't had any long depressed stretches like I'd gotten used to.
Yeah, it's been harder to fit in some of the things I want to do and I still don't have perfect mental health and it turns out that people who have jobs actually DO sometimes get a case of the Mondays, but I've discovered that purpose and structure are really good for me.
So, hooray for jobs. And even commutes.


text: I grew up with my little brother, and we were raised by my grandmother. I was an insider for real. I stayed in the house a lot, writing songs or playing video games, watching TV, or chilling with my girlfriend. It wasn't until 9th grade that I got into music. This guy in school heard me singing around the hallway to girls and stuff.

The Ebola epidemic has a tight grip on West Africa. Now the virus has spread to Senegal, the fifth country in Africa to be affected. As drugs companies scramble to find a cure, the region's economy is feeling the pinch.
Senegal has started an emergency investigation, after tracing its first case of Ebola back to a 21-year-old student from neighboring Guinea. After being falsely diagnosed with malaria three days after his arrival in Senegal, he was sent back home to a relative's house. His symptoms included fever, diarrhea and vomiting.
A few days later, after Guinea issued a warning that someone had escaped the quarantine, he was diagnosed as carrying the deadly virus. Since then, he has been in quarantine in Dakar and an urgent trace investigation has been initiated.
There is a 90 percent death rate for those who contract the virus. So far, over 3,000 people have been diagnosed with Ebola and over 1,500 people have died since the latest outbreak, which has been traced back to last December.
The World Health Organization (WHO) last Thursday warned that the epidemic was accelerating and could grow six times larger to infect as many as 20,000 people.
There is currently no vaccine or treatment for the disease. Japan last week offered to supply over 20,000 samples of an anti-influenza treatment drug to help stop the spread of the deadly virus.
The experimental drug ZMapp, produced by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, has so far been implemented in a number of successful, but also in a number of fatal, cases. Now, the US has announced the drug will start its first human clinical trials next week.
Human and economic cost
Beyond the heavy human toll, the virus is also affecting West Africa's economy.
President of the African Development Bank Donald Kaberuka has made it clear that the economy of Sierra Leone - which has reported the second-highest number of Ebola infections behind Liberia - is suffering. He told Reuters news agency that the country's GDP for 2014 could drop by four percent over last year.
The epidemic is causing people to cancel projects, he warned, and businesspeople are leaving the country. In a press release, however, the bank was more reserved; it said it expected an overall drop of 1.5 percent in the affected countries.
So far, the WHO has not issued any travel bans, but tourism and trade are still greatly affected, Kaberuka pointed out, as "private airlines have stopped flying to these countries."
Some African countries, such as Kenya, Senegal and South Africa, have issued travel restrictions to the affected nations.
For the year 2014, Sierra Leone's goal had been to export $220 million (167 million euros) worth of diamonds. The country has already announced this goal will not be realized, as miners are afraid to go to work because the diamond fields are located in the hardest hit areas. International personnel is being pulled out of the region. Those factors spell economic trouble.
Bad image
Malawian businessman Desmond Dudwa Phiri says he believes many of the economic problems associated with the disease's outbreak will be caused by the continent's "image problem" more than anything else.
"Many people think Africa is a country. When they hear bad news from a place in Africa, they think the whole continent is affected," he says. For this reason, he argues that the current developments in West Africa will spill over into other regions - but not because they have to.
Christoph Kannengiesser, CEO of the German African Business Association, accuses international companies of not having a nuanced enough perspective on Africa.
"It is being treated - as usual - in the media and is viewed by many people as a continent of crises, wars and disasters," he told DW, stressing that only a handful of countries have been affected thus far.
Kannengiesser is certain of recovery: "Trade relations, import-export relations and the opening of distribution offices - all of this is only going to be postponed to a later date, when restrictions are no longer in place," he said. He is optimistic that this could all start happening in just a few months.
But the region's image is not only damaged in the West. Malawian businessman Phiri, who is located 6,000 kilometers away from Sierra Leone's capital Freetown, says, "Ebola is a horrible disease. We are all worried. Even here in Malawi, people are cautious. We are making sure that foreigners get medical examinations before they enter the country."
Liberia, hardest hit by Ebola with nearly 700 deaths, is banning ship crews from disembarking in the government's latest attempt to stem the virus
'Don't overreact'
Kannengiesser urges businesses not to overreact. The region's "economic heavyweights" - Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal - have been largely unaffected by the crisis, he claims. While his association advises companies in these countries to be on alert, he says there is no need for them to leave.
"In the mid- and long-term, Africa is not going to be defined by Ebola, but instead by a growing middle class and business-friendly economic policies," he told DW, adding that Africa is and will remain one of the big growing markets.
Ebola has lurked around African tropical rainforests for decades and can have a fatality rate up to 90 percent. But despite Ebola's deadly record, it remains a disease without a proven drug for economic reasons. (29.08.2014)
Senegal has recorded its first case of Ebola in an outbreak that continues to spread through West Africa, Dakar's health ministry said on Friday. The disease has now killed more than 1,500 people this year. (29.08.2014)
Are we ready for Ebola? It's a question the German media have been asking for weeks. Frankfurt Airport has come under particular scrutiny due to its size. But could Frankfurt really be an entry point for the disease? (29.08.2014)

It's night now in harlem, time to explore
Snakes are diurnal, rats love their nocturnal
Life, the subway is a swinging door.
A cockroach crawls before it falls
Catalectic between the broken walls.
It's time to pay the rent and feed children
Feeding themselves from a golden arch
Of junk. Sunday's money is gone to heaven
But Sunday's soul is strung out in a park.
The boundaries of black life draw tourists
From away places, easy to find on Harlem
Streets young girls window shopping closed stores
And vermins that never meets the eyes
When day is bright. Young boys in their pack
Cannot prowl alone, someone must watch the crack
In the wall, the sound of shadowy foot falls
The blind bullet speeding towards a sighless back.
She comes click clacking through the door,
A stilletto shaft of light on the puddle of gore
Why are all her children dead so young?
What happen to black boys in their dreams
To belong? Sisters, be strong, keep the veins
On idle from the needle punctuating
The decisions of a real sinister man. Sisters, I hear
In the blues, thin pointed, small stilletto shoes
Walking through cold, papers blowing the evening news
Across the tangled sounds of aimless feet.
A scrawny, melodramatic light, shines
Where the streets lamps dispossessed of bulbs
Points to the origin of the curling incense
A sweet cat reads children fairy tales
On a carpet that will not fly.
We have a new president
Looking like Malcolm talking like King
But since sister Tubman left us
The genii blew out the lamp
Who is circling the wagon, who is pulling camp?
This north is still far from promiseland
The only thing not found on the ground
In Harlem is cotton,
It is too white for self inflicted wounds.
Cotton burns, it would burn in the night.
We who plant it has none of its delights.
Pour me a pint of blues, give me light
My sorrow drives the economy,
If I die what pall will bear testimony
To the wreaths of wind shivering inthe empty space
Of the shuttered mall.
Read fairy tales Harriet, meant well but went the wrong way
Pinkerton did not stop her, hope decentralizes the wealth
But Marcus, O Marcus was a different thing
They had to prison him. He knew the way to go
Flip flapping wind sail and no stilletto toe
Could carry this burden across so much salt of water
Through these hypertensions of night. Cry for Marcus
To come from his whirlwind, a hollow laughter echoes here.

If you check your website ranking a day and find that it lies nowhere on top, then maybe you are the victim of Google penalty. Perhaps you have already received various notices on SEO malpractices from Google, but all unnoticed. The penalty can be imposed on any website at any time, irrespective of domains or verticals. Although it's very much possible to repair the damage occurred due to penalty, you should have a proactive approach to prevent the Google penalty.
- Avoid Link Manipulation:
- Cheap spam links won't be a great deal indeed. Low value back links pointing at your website may trigger the chances of Google penalty. There is no problem in buying links from outside sources but make sure that these links are mentioned as sponsor links. Buying bulk links for the sole purpose of improving the Page Rank is straight violation of the Google SEO Standards. This giant search engine also hates hidden links in the CSS and JavaScript files.
- Over On-site Optimization:
- Once you finish the optimization of every page of your site using all possible techniques, it's time get a halt. SEO services experts always recommend to keep your On-page SEO. Over optimization not only hurts the overall user experience but also leads to severe Google penalty.
- Content Manipulation:
- Duplicate or scraped contents pose risk to get filtered from SERPs. Thus, it is a good practice to replace or remove any instance of duplicate or scraped content on your website with relevant and fresh articles. It ensures the highest level of natural SERPs visibility for your website. Not only Google but other search engines had also made it clear that they want to give top priority to high quality content in the search results and Top 10 rankings. In the coming future, Google may cover spun articles under the penalty areas.
- Keyword Stuffing:
- It certainly doesn't hurt to include a few keywords in your website's meta tags. Stuffing however turns the things sour. Thus avoid stuffing keywords unnecessarily in the website. Although H1 tags offer some modest ranking benefits for the SEO process but excessive use of this also attracts stringent penalty from the Google.
Among other stuffs that may be the reason of Google penalty, manipulative content and Doorway pages are the important one. Hidden content is also called manipulative content. It is pasted on the website using the same text color that website background has. Search engine crawlers take no time to detect the practice of wrong Guaranteed SEO Services.

Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure."
—Hermann Hesse
When someone is seeking, said Siddartha, "It happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose."
—Hermann Hesse
There is no reality except the one contained within us.
—Hermann Hesse
Topics: Confidence, Self-reliance
All suicides have the responsibility of fighting against the temptation of suicide. Every one of them knows very well in some corner of his soul that suicide, though a way out, is rather a mean and shabby one, and that it is nobler and finer to be conquered by life than to fall by one's own hand.
—Hermann Hesse
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
—Hermann Hesse
In striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.
—Hermann Hesse
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
—Hermann Hesse
Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.

Former performer shares how she gets the most out of life, helps others to do so, too
Eyes alive with inquisitive intensity, set over an undimmable smile of youth that practically screams "all things are possible!" — her conversation laced with ripples of giggles that gather momentum into roars of laughter — the woman practically vibrates with passion.
At age 30, Elizabeth Matthews — until recently the manager of the United Way of Southern Nevada's Young Philanthropists Society — is a self-described "student of the world." That world includes: extensive performing credits (from cruise ships and theater stages to a clown act and singing gondolier gigs); globe-trotting (teaching English in Macau and Russia); and go-for-broke thrill-seeking (skydiving and bungee-jumping, with cage-diving with great white sharks next on the to-do list). Don't forget the goat impressions (no kidding).
Beyond that is the commitment to "giving back" for the Palo Verde High School graduate. She's just started a new position as community engagement manager for the Golden Knights Foundation, which supports Las Vegas nonprofits Matthews talked to Luxury about her 2016-17 work for United Way:
How would you describe the Young Philanthropists Society, which was founded in 2009?
We have about 70 members. They're professionals, 20 to 40 years old, who want to engage with the community. We volunteer as a group and do fundraising events. We make contributions to the United Way, $1,500 a year or more, to join YPS.
What's the main work of the society?
When it was founded they would pick a project and move on, like a Christmas present drive at an elementary school. After a few years they wanted to have a legacy project, so fast-forward to 2012, and the Piggy Bank program. It's a financial literacy program created with partner agencies like Andson, the nonprofit, and the Silver State Schools Credit Union. It's a curriculum-based, experiential learning course. Kids learn about wants versus needs, the importance of saving, what a bank is. We have three schools involved: Howard E. Hollingsworth Elementary School, Walter V. Long Elementary and Walter Bracken Elementary. And we'll be able to expand that.
What other programs are being developed?
We're going to be working with Green Our Planet, planting gardens. We paint schools a lot. We'll be working with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Clark County School District and the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth. We're finding organizations to partner with, and getting community leaders in town to do a roundtable and ask them questions about the secrets to their success. The mission is to empower the next generation of leaders.
Studies show the millennial generation is more inclined toward volunteerism than previous generations. Why do you think that's the case?
We want to get our hands dirty and know we're physically making a difference. I think it's because of access to information. I can't scroll through my Facebook without seeing those heart-wrenching stories of people or animals in need, not just locally but globally. We feel a sense of purpose.
Is Las Vegas a philanthropically inclined city?
I've seen this town transform. There's been a shift in the mentality and people are more willing to roll up their sleeves, to give time rather than money. I attribute it to the downtown movement. What happened there created a cool culture we hadn't had before. It's this change in idealism, people getting more invested in the community. Before, it was so transient that people just didn't care. Now people are rooted here and want to see it get better.
How did your passion for volunteerism begin?
My family is LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), so I grew up with that component of helping your fellow man. My first job, when I was 16, was working with children diagnosed with autism. I was a behavioral aide. It taught me patience and selflessness and love. Those kiddos, they can't help their outbursts and anger, they don't know how to communicate it. When you get a breakthrough and they're able to do something for the first time like tie their shoes, it's the most rewarding experience. It's the moment you see a kid's face and they understand they're capable of so much more than they've been told and they have a future in front of them, that's what makes it worth it.
You ardently pursued an entertainment career before this Why did you turn toward philanthropic work?
I was on the edge of 30 and thinking, I don't want to do this hustle anymore. It's a hard life. I'm talented enough to work professionally but obviously I'm not a famous actor. I had to find a career and I thought, when was I the happiest and most fulfilled? And it was giving back, so a friend got my foot in the door (at United Way).
What did you gain, personally and profesionally, from teaching in China and Russia?
I grew up a lot. It created a taste for travel and a wanderlust. Travel has been the best education. You learn so much about the world and an appreciation for the luxuries we have here, and of other cultures.
You've bungee-jumped off the Macau Tower in China, and the Stratosphere Tower here, among other places. Why are you such a daredevil?
I love the adrenaline. After the adrenaline it's almost euphoria. When you skydive, the scariest part is the moment you look before you freefall. Then you freefall and pull the parachute and the world goes silent and there's nothing but vast, open, beautiful nature.
But wanting to cage-dive with great white sharks?
I don't know why. I'm crazy, I guess. Why not?

Oral Defense is sold at the office. It can also be purchased on the web at www.neworaldefense.com
Oral Defense toothpaste has a winning combination of elements! It is gentle on oral tissue, kills harmful bacteria, and tastes great.
Mouth Rinse

The first of six standalone short films sets the tone for the entire experience. We meet various characters on an airplane as they all meet each other, discovering the strange "coincidence" that they all seem to know the same person, a man they have all wronged in one way or another. One of the passengers refers to this seemingly chance small world encounter as "cosmic" but in reality it is anything but. It's an implausible, absurdly calculated opportunity for revenge and only minutes after we are introduced to these people and their stories their tale ends, the screen goes black and we move on to a new chapter.
If you watch Wild Tales and hope that the people and their plights will all be tied together eventually with a neat little bow, it isn't going to happen. No, the only dots that can be connected here are stylistically and thematically as each short is it's own animal, although the animal is always violent, angry and looking to quench a thirst for revenge. The most important connection here, however, is a very simple one that is sure to be the reason everyone needs to experience Wild Tales: it's so damn funny.
On paper the premise of this anthology feature sounds quite dramatic but it's actually a comedy of the very dark variety, and I was laughing early and often. It's littered with terrific dialogue and wonderful characters and delicious satire, worthy of the Oscar nomination it received earlier this year for Best Foreign Language Film. Despite this 2014 recognition, unfortunately a theatrical run didn't occur in the U.S. until a couple months into this year so spoiler alert: look for Wild Tales when I count down the best work of 2015 down the road. You will absolutely discover that it made the cut when all is said and done.
If I were to nitpick a flaw here it would be that the six separate short films are not created equal, as some of them excel more than others, but at the same time this fact makes the chance of discussion and debate all the more fun. Everyone is sure to have their favorites, their reasons for connecting to some and not all, and for me the best of the bunch were the third short titled El Mas Fuerte (The Strongest), an absolutely brilliant scathing satire on the absurdity of the concept of machismo masculinity, the fourth installment titled Bombita (Little Bomb) about a man who gets fed up with society and the fact that his voice isn't heard and carries no weight until he does what he does best to make a very loud statement, and the final of the six called Hasta que la muerte nos separe (Until Death Do Us Part) that shows us a wedding that starts off as an expensive, over-the-top celebration until the bride discovers a scandalous secret about the man she just married earlier that very day.
Overall, Wild Tales is a hilarious success, a very clever and unique experience that never truly missed but rather hits with a little less force in some spots but bowls us over in others.

How Louise leaves her kitchen each day, we've got no idea.
Frankly, we wouldn't want to part with it if it were ours!
The owner of Stocks Appliances, Louise certainly had her finger on the product pulse when it came to renovating her family's home kitchen.
But it might surprise you to know that in terms of the overall kitchen itself, she wasn't quite sure what she was after.
Calling on the services of an expert was her first flawless move – a kitchen designer came to the Tudor house and immediately got a sense for its potential.
The result – a brilliantly functioning kitchen that is every bit as performance driven as it is a visual knock-out.
How does a kitchen reno create family time?
The real surprise factor for Louise has been the family effect.
It wasn't part of the brief – Louise didn't even think it could be something a renovation could achieve – but the renovation has brought her family together. Literally.
Once the old Tudor style layout of smaller rooms and lots of walls meant that Louise was very removed from her family whenever she prepared meals.
They would be in one area, and she would be in another, unable to see or talk to her children unless they popped into the kitchen whilst she was cooking.
Now that a wall has been removed and the whole space has been opened up, all family members naturally gravitate to the kitchen benches.
Louise has never spent so much quality time with her 16 year old son and 13 year old daughter!
That's certainly been the surprising and most wonderful outcome of this kitchen reno but trust us when we say there is a whole lot more this space delivers!
Louise's stunning, modern, fully integrated kitchen. Image courtesy, Enigma Interiors.
The best of the best
Louise's appliances are second to none, but there's been a lot of thought in the selection.
For example, she doesn't have just any oven – she has a combination steam oven meaning she has the option to roast, bake or steam from the one product.
She doesn't own a kettle anymore – the hot water tap and the chiller tap deliver boiling or super cold water instantly.
Wouldn't you just love to whip up a five course meal using these appliances. Image courtesy, Enigma Interiors.
It's all about integration
Louise has an integrated fridge and integrated dishwasher.
In other words – these products are 'hidden' behind the kitchen's cabinetry so the overall look is seamless, rather than having certain items stand out (often like sore thumbs.
We've all seen a great kitchen ruined by an average fridge?
Easy peasy
So you might not be able to see Louise's integrated dishwasher straight away, but once you do, you'll be impressed a second time around.
There's been so much thought go into this kitchen, and the dishwasher is just one example.
Rather than sit low as per the conventional response, Louise's dishwasher is basically at waist height, meaning there is no bending to load and unload.
Moreover, there is no door to trip over when the kitchen's dealing with peak traffic. Brilliant.
These industrial pendants look perfectly at home. Image courtesy, Enigma Interiors.
Electric's the answer
OK, hear us out.
It might not seem like a big deal to manually open and close drawers and cupboards, but what if you could do it by simply pushing a button?
For example, you're preparing a dinner party and you have ten things on the go at once, pushing a button to open and close is so much easier.
It's these small touches that send a kitchen into a different stratosphere of functional. Sigh.
Now you see it, now you don't! Did you spot the electrical storage integrated in the kitchen benchtop? Incredible! Image courtesy, Enigma Interiors.
Can you hear that silence?
You will not hear boo from Louise's kitchen.
It's designed to not only soak up steam and odours, but noise as well.
From the fridge to the range hood to the dishwasher, this is one very quiet operator.
No chance odurs, steam or smoke will get past this rangehood. Image courtesy, Enigma Interiors.
Seek out knowledge
Louise's best advice?
Learn from the experts.
Staff at Stocks Appliances are incredibly well educated about the products they sell.
Not only do they know them inside and out, but they know all the questions to ask before deciding whether or not they're in fact the right solution for you.
Don't take on the mammoth task of trying to research and educate yourself about every aspect of your reno – seek out the people who know and save yourself vast amounts of time and energy.
Check out Stocks Appliances and be sure to give them a call, or visit their store, for expert advice.
Get the look
Love Louise's kitchen products as much as we do.
You can get the look below.
Happy shopping!

Afternoon Workout
I'm working the mitts with Barbara, my boxing student. She's a rich woman who is slumming in boxing but doesn't admit it because she is a liberal who wants to identify with poor people. She's hitting pretty good. I tell her to go for more combinations. Limousine liberals like Barbara are trying to steal poor people's thunder by adopting their values but not living in their homes. She is like Warren Buffet who offers thirty per cent in taxes which doesn't reduce his life style one iota but encourages poor people to do less and less and want more and more. Like Buffet she cares more about her image than the plight of the disadvantaged. She wants to appear generous while doing little that inconveniences her. Even though we are good friends, Barbara is always picking on me because I am a Republican, "You guys don't want to give anything to the poor." "Republicans give more to...(Read Full Post)

Hi Walter, Thanks very much for sharing your background-- naturally, it is indeed very useful to understand your background and experience when determining the context of your assertions. My background/profile/experience can be found here, if your or anyone else cares to understand who I am and where I come from: LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/chrismejia To your case in point, here are your words: "I am starting to wonder how an US entity can remain Safe Harbour certified when complying with the equally self-regulatory MRC guidelines." You have made this broad sweeping assessment with seemingly little investment in understanding how the MRC actually conducts is business of auditing, how it addresses privacy concerns, and how the online advertising industry in general actually operates. So yes, without understanding the full context of these things, I can see how one might leap to seemingly "logical" interpretations. After all, many folks once believed that the world was flat, logically. And we know now that their belief was rooted in ignorance. I have invited you and others to contact the MRC and do real due diligence (real research) before whimsically passing what you believe to be logical judgments, or even hinting at them as you have done here publicly. To my knowledge, no one has done that yet (other than me)-- have you? As a participant in the MRC auditing review process for 2-years, I have offered myself and my knowledge to this working group—despite this, where there seems to be misunderstanding, I have asked for the topic to be discussed via a phone call. I just cant understand why having a phone call on this topic, to clear any misinterpretations/misunderstandings, has been pushed back on? Maybe I'm old fashioned? Chris Chris Mejia | Digital Supply Chain Solutions | Ad Technology Group | Interactive Advertising Bureau - IAB On 10/24/12 10:16 AM, "Walter van Holst" <email@example.com<mailto:email@example.com>> wrote: On 10/24/12 3:48 PM, Chris Mejia wrote: Walter, you seem to pass judgement quickly on entities and practices you don't fully understand. What experience do you have with the MRC again? Advertising industry experience? Understanding your background may help me (and others) understand your assertions here. You also seem to be awfully quick to frame people in terms of their institutional background/perceived interest. Taking their mails at face value may provide credibility to your assertions of interest in a civil discourse. Case in point: I have never expressed any opinions on how the MRC guidelines should be interpreted. Only mentioned that a logical consequence of your interpretation of the MRC might be non-compliance with the Safe Harbour regime. Which will not be relevant to everyone in the advertising business, but several entities at this table are Safe Harbour certified _and_ claim to adhere to the MRC guidelines, so I think it is a valid question to bring up in this context. Could you point out where I have been passing judgement on the MRC and/or their guidelines and/or any interpretation thereof? I'll be the first to apologise if I have. Also for the sake of transparency: I am invited based on my affiliaton to Vrijschrift, a small Dutch grassroots NGO interested in civil liberties in the digital context. As part of that I have served on the board of European Digital Rights. By day I am an IT-lawyer, mostly involved with IT-procurement issues, and therefore have no direct professional interests in DNT. As part of that role I am however consulted regularly on Data Protection and Safe Harbour matters. Before that I was a programmer/business analyst with Logica, in the Dutch telecommunications division of that systems integrator. I have masters degrees from the Rotterdam School of Management and the Rotterdam School of Law, both part of the Erasmus University. Does that little cv answer your question?

Central America, the West Indies South America and Portions of the United States and Mexico
This 1909 map, published by the United Fruit Company, shows the extensive shipping, railroad, and wireless telegraph network built and maintained by the company to carry out its main business, the production and marketing of bananas. United Fruit was founded in 1899 by the merger of the Boston Fruit Company and several other firms involved in the banana industry in Central America, the Caribbean, and Colombia. The history of the company goes back to 1872, when Minor C. Keith began to acquire banana plantations and build a railroad in Costa Rica. Through sophisticated marketing and its complex logistical network, United Fruit managed to make bananas, previously an unknown tropical fruit, into a basic food in the United States and Western Europe. Notwithstanding these achievements, United Fruit was often the target of political opposition in the countries in which it operated, accused of neglecting its workers and manipulating governments for its own ends, hence the term "banana republic."
