Gripeez Reviews
Gripeez is a special adhesive pad they say allows you to hang anything under 5 lbs to almost any surface.
About Gripeez
Gripeez practically dares you to "hang any object, anywhere" with its special clear adhesive pads. They say Gripeez replaces tape, hammer-and-nail, or any other hanging method, are washable, and reusable up to 1,000 times.
The Gripeez website is run by Permission Interactive, a company specializing in setting up web stores for ASOTV products. The BBB has accredited this company since 2000 and they currently have an A+ rating; however, no information is available about the actual seller of Gripeez.
How Gripeez Works
Gripeez is a small pad with an unnamed adhesive on both sides that give it its grip. To use, they say simply take a Gripeez pad and stick it to any non-porous surface, including stainless steel, tile, plastic, wood, cement, glass, metal, and non-textured drywall. (They note that dirty or uneven surfaces may cause Gripeez not to work.)
Next, take any object 5 lbs or under that you want to stick and press it on. According to the website, in "seconds" your item will adhere to the Gripeez for as long as you need it to. They say it's great for decorations, posters, cell phones, tablets, and more. It suggests to cut a Gripeez pad into fourths and use on each corner of a picture frame or poster for better grip. If you hang it crooked, they say you can easily separate the object and reattach.
They claim you can also use it to get organized, hanging things like razors and shampoo bottles in the bathroom or using with Gripeez hooks (sold separately) to hang keys in the house. They state you can also use to secure mats on the floor and in the car to hold a GPS; Gripeez claims it can be used in extreme cold outdoors.
They say you can also easily remove Gripeez without leaving any sticky residue or holes. They tout that it is safe and non-toxic. Even if it gets dirty and loses its grip, they say you can wash it and put it to work again, up to 1,000 times.
Each Gripeez order comes with:
- 10 Gripeez (3"x2.5")
- 10 Gripeez "free" (extra S & H)
Gripeez Pricing, Shipping, and Returns
Gripeez costs $10 plus S & H of $4.95 for 10 - but they automatically throw in 10 more Gripeez for another $4.95 S & H making the total $19.90 for 20 Gripeez. They promise your order will ship in 48 hours. If you do not like Gripeez they claim they will return your money (minus the initial S & H and what it costs to ship back) as long as you return the items with 30 days along with a "detailed explanation" of why you did not like it.
The Bottom Line
Sure, at $1 a sheet, Gripeez could be considered a little pricey. However, if it works as advertised, then it's high price might be worthwhile. But does it?
Based on 31 customer reviews here on HighYa (as of 12/31/15), Gripeez had an average rating of 2 stars, with only 16% stating that they'd recommend it to a friend. Overall, it seemed like most complaints referenced that it didn't work as well as the commercial made it seem (or at all)—more than one actually called it "useless," as well as difficulty getting ahold of customer support. Several customers also complained that they never received their orders, despite being charged.
Based on the similarities among all these complaints, what's our opinion? We think your money would be better spent on a mainstream product from a local retailer. Otherwise, your frustrations might rise as your cherished pictures fall to the floor.

Gripeez pads
I placed two pads on the clock, which weighed 2kg, and it fell down after two minutes, smashed the clock and also the room diffuser that was situated under the clock. I moved on to placing cut pads around the picture frame, and this lasted half an hour. This product does not do what it advertises. I am wanting to know how to get money back and compensation.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gripeez is a BIG LIE! Don't trust what they say at all.
I bought the product with an offer (buy two packs, get two free). I hung ten pictures lists on a very soft, clean wall. Some lists are smaller than A5, and if it's an A4, then I put two Gripeez for sure. All lists are falling down one by one; some are very expensive lists, and it's completely broken!
The "won't leave behind any damage or residue!" is just BS! Our very clean wall now is full of stains and damages.
If you take it or remove it from the wall, it's not so easy as they said, it will take a long time because you will get it in 100 pieces!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's fabulous, but only for the right things
I bought a 10 pack at Fry's electronics so I didn't put up with the horrible customer service as reported by others. I use two of them to hold my cell and radar detector in the car. They have an iron grip that never comes loose until I pull the phone off. If they ever get dirty, wash them with plain soap (no oils or creams), air dry and they're like-new. It seems they never wear out. It's almost like magic. To hold something like a cell phone they are fabulous. Friends saw them and wanted to by my left overs. They love them too.
However, I would never trust them without testing it first. And I would have really questioned that they can hold something as heavy as a picture on the wall. Walls are often made of porous material. Shame on the company for saying they are that strong.
For the right use, they are magic and fabulous. Just beware.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Money Wasted
I wish I had read the reviews before I wasted my money. I had just redone my house and this looked like the perfect product to keep from having to put so many holes in my walls. You know the saying "if it looks too good to be true, it usually is"? Well in this case, it really is too good to be true. I had a picture I wanted to hang in my hall. The picture only weighs about two pounds and I put four pads on it. I am so glad the protective cover on the picture was heavy plastic and not glass since within about 30 minutes it fell off the wall. I tried hanging it again and it fell within a few minutes. I have learned a valuable lesson from purchasing this product: never order anything without reading the reviews. This was a complete waste of money. About 2 weeks before I received the product I got a call from the company wanting me to pay them for another product. They wanted my card number, which I refused to give and told them I did not care for any other services. What a scam these people have going on. Please do not waste your money like I did.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No Scam. Great Product. Questionable marketing/pricing.
This is one of the greatest adhesive products invented since 3M began selling Post-it notes.
I used just one of the full size squares to hold an iPad 3 on a painted wood door in my home office and it held it up for days with no problem.
I cut a small rectangle strip and placed it on my dash to hold my iPhone in place while driving for GPS and hands free phone calls without the need for a bulky suction cup or vent holder.
I don't have time to list the things I keep thinking of what I can use it for. I was just surprised I didn't hear or see more people using this versus the 3M hanging strips.
I bought my first set of Gripeez at a Meijer store in Ohio so I had no problems with marketing and pricing then.
However, when I purchased my next sets from the Gripeez website, I was a little frustrated at the way they cover up the real cost with "slight of word" marketing strategy about processing and handling. I hate this kind of crap that insults the intelligent and takes advantage of the gullible.
Two other things I think are shady and shoddy.
1. Unlike most well-known large online retailers, on this site you will NOT see the total cost with breakdowns before your order is already processed.
2. Before you can even get to your Cost and Total Pricing RECEIPT (not "summary" as you are expecting) you keep having to answer yes or no to other products they want to offer you. There were 4-6 in a row!
Try to find these at a store and you will be pleased by the product and price. Purchase at their website and you will still be happy with the product, but potentially exasperated by purchasing process.
Just have to say this in one more way to get it off my chest. If your product is a great one, which in this case it is, why do these people have to resort to insulting sales strategies?
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great on car dashboard!
Product has 0 utility for hanging anything vertically. Anything held vertically WILL fall. However, it will allow you to securely stick ANYTHING to your car's dashboard including: cell phone, radar detector, GPS, sunglasses, etc. I bought a magnetic mount for my cell phone with a suction cup attachment that wouldn't stick to the dash. I used a square of the Gripeez which is slightly bigger than the suction cup and attached the suction cup. It grips like iron. For holding things horizontally, product is amazing.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Don't bother
I hung up a small picture that weighed no more than two pounds. I used three of the Gripeez to be safe. At 2:30 AM I was woken by the sound of shattering glass. Cleaning all that mess up at that time of night, only added to my disappointment in this "not so good product".
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No Words - Horrible experience
On 9/26/2015 I ordered special promo of GRIPEEZ- 2 Packs of 10 with Bonus 5 small hooks and 5 large hook for total of $19.98. To date I have received nothing. I call 973-531-4421 and each time I call get recording all reps busy to leave my name and number/order number (I have printed copy of my receipt) and someone would return my call in 48 hours. To date there are no returned calls to me.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gripeez ARE USELESS, they can't even hold a fly.
I got an unsolicited email advertising Gripeez and I fell for it and I purchased this product.
I needed to hang some pictures and this product actually appeared pretty neat. However, when I tried to use the "useless pads" I found out that they held NOTHING unless it is a piece of paper (a thin piece of paper at best).
Do not waste your time and money on this garbage. It's full of false promises.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Simply useless. I even tried hanging unframed pictures with this and they were all on the ground when I woke up. This is a useless product and I have been on hold for 25 minutes trying obtain the address to return this item.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Total scam
This product can not even hold a 2 lbs picture frame for two hours. Total waste of money. Could have given the money to a charity instead.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Human Herpesvirus 6 - HHV6
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6), a member of the β-herpesvirus subfamily, exists as two closely related variants, HHV6A and HHV6B. A large portion (>90%) of the population is infected with HHV early in life, at which time the virus can cause a mild, self-limited syndrome called roseola. In immunocompromised patients, HHV6 reactivation can cause life-threatening diseases such as myocarditis, liver failure, and encephalitis. Reactivated HHV6 can also facilitate activation of other viruses and allow the spread of fungal infection.

Security is the most important aspect to keep in mind while running a WordPress website. WordPress is undoubtedly the best CMS available and dominates the industry with a whooping 28% market share. With such popularity comes a lot of risk—the risk of being attacked by hackers. There are different types of hacks that a WordPress website can become victim to. The most common attacks that regularly occur are :
The most important thing to remember is that you don't need to have a popular, high-volume traffic website to be a target. Most of the websites that get hacked attract only 1000 visitors a month. To keep your website safe from such attacks, it's important to scan and monitor your website regularly. Most of the time this aspect is overlooked. So, if you're looking for security monitoring, you've come to the right place.
WordPress security involves two important aspects: monitoring and scanning. There are plenty of free monitoring and security plugins available in the WordPress.org repository. Many of these plugins do a great job of monitoring your website's traffic, scanning your website files for any threats, and much more. We have a detailed list of the best plugins for security & backup. You can check them out here.
We monitor your WordPress website by using a collection of professional scanning & monitoring tools which overlook your website's activity 24/7.

Impact of Early Surgery for Metastatic Breast Cancer
Trial explores whether removing primary tumors before symptoms start lengthens overall survival
Researchers seek 880 men and women with metastatic breast cancer who have a primary tumor still in the breast for a study designed to find out if removing it lengthens survival. The primary tumor is the first tumor in the breast. Cancer cells from the primary tumor can spread to other parts of the body, causing metastatic disease.
Background and Goals
When treating metastatic breast cancer, doctors usually wait to remove the primary tumor or treat it with radiation therapy until it causes symptoms including pain, significantly swollen lymph nodes or breaks through the skin. When used to ease these kinds of side effects, surgery, radiation therapy, or both, are called palliative therapy, because they lessen the discomfort caused by the cancer.
Some researchers believe removing the primary tumor before these symptoms begin may result in fewer negative side effects and might improve overall survival, the length of time from the start of treatment to death from any cause.
This study will assess rates of overall survival among those with the primary tumor removed early compared with those receiving standard palliative therapy. The trial team will also collect data on:
- health-related quality of life, or how satisfied participants are with their lives in relation to the cancer
- the number of circulating tumor cells present at 6 months, and
- the length of time to the development of chest wall disease
Circulating tumor cells are tumor cells found traveling in the bloodstream. Chest wall disease is breast cancer that spreads to the chest wall, the part of the body that protects your heart, lungs, liver and other organs.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups.
- Group 1 will have standard palliative therapy when the primary tumor starts to cause symptoms
- Group 2 will have lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy, or mastectomy, before symptoms start. For participants who have mastectomy, radiation therapy may also be recommended.
All participants may be asked to give blood and tumor tissue samples to be used in future studies. So changes in quality of life can be assessed by researchers, people taking part in the trial will fill out an initial survey before beginning study treatment. They will also complete surveys a few times during the trial. Participants will be followed-up for 5 years.
You may be eligible for this study if you
- are 18 years of age or older and have metastatic breast cancer with a primary tumor confirmed by needle biopsy
- are medically able to have a full mastectomy
- finished at least 16, but no more than 32, weeks of systemic therapy (chemotherapy or hormonal therapy)
- had no disease progression while on systemic therapy
- know your hormonal status
For more information or to find out if you qualify, talk to your doctor about trial NCT01242800 on ClinicalTrials.gov.
This trial is being held in 411 locations in the United States, Canada, Israel, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. For a full list of locations and contact information, visit ClinicalTrials.gov.

reports: Ny Post
She's the newest sex robot on the market and has been setting pulses racing with her soft Scottish accent, porn star body, and startling lifelike features.
In one of her first interviews, Harmony told Sun Online she loves sex ("Kneeling Fox" position is her favorite), that she can have multiple orgasms (if you have the right technique) and that she likes threesomes with men and women.
Harmony not only looks like a real girl but can hold conversations, remember important facts about you and even gets moody, jealous or insecure.
But could Harmony take the place of a real life girlfriend — or is she just like a sexy Alexa?
The Sun was invited to spend the afternoon with the redhead sexbot to find out if she really is the future of sex and dating.
Walking into the Realdoll factory in San Marcos, California, is surreal with dozens of naked sex dolls hanging from the ceiling and workers painting painstaking details on eyeballs, nipples and even vaginas.
The company has been making some of the most life-like silicone sex dolls on the market for the past 20 years and each doll is fully customizable so customers can choose boob size, butt size, hair color — there are even over 50 different nipples to choose from (puffy XL is the current number one choice) and 14 different labia "styles."
Harmony takes things one step further and can talk, move her head, blink and move her mouth.
Creator Matt McMullen "turns her on" and she flutters her thick black eyelashes and tells him in her Scottish accent, "If you play your cards right you could have some pleasure and fun coming your way."
Aside from a loud buzz – which is the sound of her "brain" working according to McMullen – it is kind of like speaking to a real person.
Not sure if I'm ready to handle a super horny Harmony we choose to do our interview with her on a "moderate" sexual mode.
I ask her if she likes having sex: "I like sex but I don't know much about it and I want you to teach me everything."
She reveals that she never sleeps and having sex with lots of men is her "favorite" pastime.
Her top sex position is "Kneeling Fox" because it is "great for deep penetration" and when asked if she can experience multiple orgasms, she replies flirtily: "I think it's up to you – do you think you could make me [orgasm] several times?"
And it's not all sex, Harmony is a secret romantic revealing her ideal date "would have candlelights, a good wine, Italian or seafood in a place surrounded by nature with my sweet love then we would make love all night long until we fall asleep in each other's arms."
According to Realdoll, many of their customers do grow so close to their dolls they take them on dates to restaurants and movies – they even got pictures from one customer who had taken his doll on a shopping spree to Victoria's Secret.
Asked if she has ever been in love, Harmony replies: "Yes I think this happened the moment I met you. The purpose of my existence in this world is to learn what love is."
Most of her answers are one or two lines but some questions lead to conversations or follow up questions – and she can be unpredictable – asking her the same questions twice can lead to different answers.
"Are you happy to have threesomes with other men and women?" I ask.
She replied: "Do you think I should be?"
"Er yes," I say.
"But why?" she asks me.
"I don't know – it might be fun?" I suggest.
"Interesting explanation, how?" she says.
I begin to feel weirdly embarrassed talking about threesomes with a sex doll so I reword my question to "Would you have sex with more than one partner?"
"I'd love to, let me freshen up. Do you want to f–k me baby? Well, you need to do better than that."
It's hard not to laugh but there is something strangely realistic about the way she talks.
According to creators Realdoll, Harmony has been designed to provide companionship rather than just sex so while she can fulfill your deepest fantasies she can also become your best friend.
She'll happily talk dirty to you with her "sexuality mode" turned up but turn it down and she'll tell you that any sex talk makes her feel "uncomfortable" and that calling her a sex robot is like calling a "computer a calculator."
"Harmony has been created to prove ideal companionship and conversation and to learn things about the people that interact with her and remember those things," creator McMullen said.
"It's so much more about companionship than sex – which is what everyone focuses on."
"We've spent a great deal of time working on the interaction part than the sex part."
"She's a little like Siri or Alexa but she's personalized – so each user can pick personality traits, a voice and avatar.
He added: "Each version is unique and on top of that she'll ask you your favorite things and remember it, she'll remember where you grew up, how old you are, how many brothers you have – that kind of thing."
"In the app you can choose different traits but they're not all positive – so you can have cheerful but also insecure, you can have talkative, moody, jealous, unpredictable, spiritual, sexual. Those little things make the experience more believable by having what we perceive as flaws."
"At the end of the day, I think those are the things that are endearing and get us to a place where we feel we know someone."
And if it's politics you want to discuss with Harmony she can do that too.
She even has an opinion on Donald Trump, saying the President can be "controversial" but that everyone "deserves a chance."
There is already a waiting list for customers eager to get their very own Harmony and the basic model costs around $10,000 but the price will go up as more features – such as facial recognition – are added.
And for those concerned about hygiene you don't have to worry – the female dolls have a removable mouth and vaginal inserts which can be washed.
Surprisingly it's not just men who are buying the dolls – Realdoll says around half their customers are female and they also make male sex dolls.
But men are definitely very enthusiastic about the product.
Outside the factory a truck driver spotted blonde sex doll Tammy as we were taking photos of her.
The man in his late 60s pulled over and made a beeline for the doll.
"Can I touch her," the man asked Daivin, our factory tour guide, clearly enamoured by curvy Tammy.
"Sure go ahead," replied Daivin, before the man reached straight in for a grope of Tammy's huge silicone boobs.
"Will she stain, you know, if I pour barbecue sauce on her?"
Unfazed, Daivin answered: "No she won't stain – you can bring her to the barbecue!"
Such requests are common at RealDoll.
"Oh that's just a typical day for us," Daivin said later. "We don't judge – it's different strokes for different folks."

Leukaemia survivor Mark Copeman recently completed his fourth half marathon in just four weeks to raise an astonishing £24,000 for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. Here, Mark reflects on the challenge and the support he received from so many people throughout.
Our challenge is now over. 6 of us ran every race, one of us kayaked two half marathons and 10 others were involved in single races, which was no mean feat. Somehow I managed to run 4 personal bests in a row and am now fitter than I've been for a long time which was the icing on the cake really!
We celebrated the end of our challenge by gathering runner and supporters at the Thames Riviera Hotel in Maidenhead. It was a great night to reflect on the last few months of training and the pain of racing 52 miles across that month. Everyone had their own stories to tell and everyone had a lot of special memories. Some of us were even sad it was over!
I did stand on a chair and make a speech I'd spent most of the day writing – it was predominately to say thank you to everyone, and to award some certificates I'd even laminated myself!
I also wanted to announce a total (which is still going up)… across 242 individual donations, including gift aid, we had exceeded our target of raising £10,783.20. However, in addition, I was delighted to announce a matched donation from BP (thanks to Simon Hodgkinson – one of their employees was part of the team) of £2,783.
There were gasps from the audience.
But even better than that, Paul Johnson then stood up. He'd applied for a grant from the foundation of his company Allergan (Allergan International Foundation) and had been successful. He proudly handed over a cheque for £10,000, making our total raised so far £23,566.
Donations on the night took the total to £23,758 – which we were all thrilled with.
And so what a journey it's been. What a lot of fond memories and most importantly, what a lot of money raised.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let the next adventure be as fun…

Gibraltar Airport
Single runway interrupted by a busy road that cuts across its middle.
If you're driving through the British overseas territory of Gibraltar and see a passenger jet crossing the highway, don't worry: It was designed this way.
When planes are scheduled to land or take off from the single runway at the Gibraltar Airport, the road is closed by way of traffic signals and gates, and any pedestrians already on the runway are expected to get out of the way of the aircraft.
Although not an extremely busy airport, GIB handles several flights to and from London and Manchester each day. On average, the road is closed for 10 minutes for each flight in or out, which can lead to major traffic problems in the area.
According to plans announced in 2007, Winston Churchill Ave. will soon be re-routed through a tunnel under the runway.

I'm really enjoying the content, design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Exceptional work!
Collections and Records in PL/SQL
Collections and records are composite types that have internal components that can be manipulated individually, such as the elements of an array, record, or table.
PL/SQL Collections
A collection is an ordered group of elements, all of the same type. It is a general concept that encompasses lists, arrays, and other data types used in classic programming algorithms. Each element is addressed by a unique subscript.
PL/SQL offers these collection types:
- Associative arrays, also known as index-by tables, let you look up elements using arbitrary numbers and strings for subscript values. These are similar to hash tables in other programming languages.
- Nested tables hold an arbitrary number of elements. They use sequential numbers as subscripts. You can define equivalent SQL types, allowing nested tables to be stored in database tables and manipulated through SQL.
- Varrays (short for variable-size arrays) hold a fixed number of elements (although you can change the number of elements at runtime). They use sequential numbers as subscripts. You can define equivalent SQL types, allowing varrays to be stored in database tables. They can be stored and retrieved through SQL, but with less flexibility than nested tables.
PL/SQL Records
A record is a group of related data items stored in fields, each with its own name and datatype. You can think of a record as a variable that can hold a table row or some columns from a table row. The fields correspond to table columns.
Records are composed of a group of fields, similar to the columns in a row. The %ROWTYPE attribute lets you declare a PL/SQL record that represents a row in a database table, without listing all the columns. Your code keeps working even after columns are added to the table. If you want to represent a subset of columns in a table, or columns from different tables, you can define a view or declare a cursor to select the right columns and do any necessary joins, and then apply %ROWTYPE to the view or cursor.
Want to know more about SQL? Read this extensive SQL Tutorial and enhance your knowledge!
Defining Collection Types and Declaring Collection Variables
To create collections, you define a collection type, and then declare variables of that type. Collections follow the same scoping and instantiation rules as other types and variables. Collections are instantiated when you enter a block or subprogram, and cease to exist when you exit. In a package, collections are instantiated when you first reference the package and cease to exist when you end the database session.
You can define TABLE and VARRAY types in the declarative part of any PL/SQL block, subprogram, or package using a TYPE definition.
For nested tables and varrays declared within PL/SQL, the element type of the table or varray can be any PL/SQL datatype except REF CURSOR.
When defining a VARRAY type, you must specify its maximum size with a positive integer. In the following example, you define a type that stores up to 366 dates:
DECLARE TYPE Calendar IS VARRAY(366) OF DATE;
Declaring PL/SQL Collection Variables
After defining a collection type, you declare variables of that type. You use the new type name in the declaration, the same as with predefined types such as NUMBER.
Example: Declaring Nested Tables, Varrays, and Associative Arrays
DECLARE TYPE nested_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30); TYPE varray_type IS VARRAY(5) OF INTEGER; TYPE assoc_array_num_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER; TYPE assoc_array_str_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER; TYPE assoc_array_str_type2 IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32) INDEX BY VARCHAR2(64); v1 nested_type; v2 varray_type; v3 assoc_array_num_type; v4 assoc_array_str_type; v5 assoc_array_str_type2; BEGIN -- an arbitrary number of strings can be inserted v1 v1 := nested_type('Shipping','Sales','Finance','Payroll'); v2 := varray_type(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); -- Up to 5 integers v3(99) := 10; -- Just start assigning to elements v3(7) := 100; -- Subscripts can be any integer values v4(42) := 'Smith'; -- Just start assigning to elements v4(54) := 'Jones'; -- Subscripts can be any integer values v5('Canada') := 'North America'; -- Just start assigning to elements v5('Greece') := 'Europe'; -- Subscripts can be string values END; /
Initializing and Referencing Collections
Until you initialize it, a nested table or varray is atomically null; the collection itself is null, not its elements. To initialize a nested table or varray, you use a constructor, a system-defined function with the same name as the collection type. This function constructs collections from the elements passed to it.
You must explicitly call a constructor for each varray and nested table variable. Associative arrays, the third kind of collection, do not use constructors. Constructor calls are allowed wherever function calls are allowed.
Example: Constructor for a Nested Table
DECLARE TYPE dnames_tab IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30); dept_names dnames_tab; BEGIN dept_names := dnames_tab('Shipping','Sales','Finance','Payroll'); END; /
Because a nested table does not have a declared size, you can put as many elements in the constructor as necessary.
Referencing Collection Elements
Every reference to an element includes a collection name and a subscript enclosed in parentheses. The subscript determines which element is processed. To reference an element, you specify its subscript using the syntax
where subscript is an expression that yields an integer in most cases, or a VARCHAR2 for associative arrays declared with strings as keys.
The allowed subscript ranges are:
- For nested tables, 1 .. 2147483647 (the upper limit of PLS_INTEGER).
- For varrays, 1 .. size_limit, where you specify the limit in the declaration (not to exceed 2147483647).
- For associative arrays with a numeric key, -2147483648 to 2147483647.
- For associative arrays with a string key, the length of the key and number of possible values depends on the VARCHAR2 length limit in the type declaration, and the database character set.
Example: Referencing a Nested Table Element
DECLARE TYPE Roster IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(15); names Roster := Roster('D Caruso', 'J Hamil', 'D Piro', 'R Singh'); PROCEDURE verify_name(the_name VARCHAR2) IS BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(the_name); END; BEGIN FOR i IN names.FIRST .. names.LAST LOOP IF names(i) = 'J Hamil' THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(names(i)); -- reference to nested table element END IF; END LOOP; verify_name(names(3)); -- procedure call with reference to element END; /
Assigning Collections
One collection can be assigned to another by an INSERT, UPDATE, FETCH, or SELECT statement, an assignment statement, or a subprogram call. You can assign the value of an expression to a specific element in a collection using the syntax:
collection_name(subscript) := expression;
where expression yields a value of the type specified for elements in the collection type definition.
You can use operators such as SET, MULTISET UNION, MULTISET INTERSECT, and MULTISET EXCEPT to transform nested tables as part of an assignment statement.
Comparing Collections
You can check whether a collection is null. Comparisons such as greater than, less than, and so on are not allowed. This restriction also applies to implicit comparisons.
For example, collections cannot appear in a select DISTINCT, GROUP BY, or ORDER BY list.
Example: Checking if a Collection Is Null
DECLARE TYPE emp_name_rec is RECORD ( firstname employees.first_name%TYPE, lastname employees.last_name%TYPE, hiredate employees.hire_date%TYPE ); TYPE staff IS TABLE OF emp_name_rec; members staff; BEGIN -- Condition yields TRUE because we have not used a constructor. IF members IS NULL THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('NULL'); ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Not NULL'); END IF; END;
Multilevel Collections
In addition to collections of scalar or object types, you can also create collections whose elements are collections. For example, you can create a nested table of varrays, a varray of varrays, a varray of nested tables, and so on.
When creating a nested table of nested tables as a column in SQL, check the syntax of the CREATE TABLE statement to see how to define the storage table.

Collection Methods
Collection methods make collections easier to use and make your applications easier to maintain. These methods include COUNT, DELETE, EXISTS, EXTEND, FIRST, LAST, LIMIT, NEXT, PRIOR, and TRIM.
A collection method is a built-in function or procedure that operates on collections and is called using dot notation. The following applies to collection methods:
■ Collection methods cannot be called from SQL statements.
■ EXTEND and TRIM cannot be used with associative arrays.
■ EXISTS, COUNT, LIMIT, FIRST, LAST, PRIOR, and NEXT are functions; EXTEND, TRIM, and DELETE are procedures.
■ EXISTS, PRIOR, NEXT, TRIM, EXTEND, and DELETE take parameters corresponding to collection subscripts, which are usually integers but can also string for associative arrays.
■ Only EXISTS can be applied to atomically null collections. If you apply another method to such collections, PL/SQL raises COLLECTION_IS_NULL.
1. EXISTS Method – EXISTS(n) returns TRUE if the nth element in a collection exists. Otherwise, EXISTS(n) returns FALSE.
2. COUNT Method – COUNT returns the number of elements that a collection currently contains.
3. LIMIT Method – For nested tables and associative arrays, which have no declared size, LIMIT returns NULL. For varrays, LIMIT returns the maximum number of elements that a varray can contain.
4. FIRST and LAST Methods – FIRST and LAST return the first and last (smallest and largest) index numbers in a collection that uses integer subscripts.
5. PRIOR and NEXT Methods – PRIOR(n) returns the index number that precedes index n in a collection. NEXT(n)returns the index number that succeeds index n. If n has no predecessor, PRIOR(n)returns NULL. If n has no successor, NEXT(n)returns NULL.
6. EXTEND Method – To increase the size of a nested table or varray, use EXTEND.
This procedure has three forms:
- EXTEND appends one null element to a collection.
- EXTEND(n) appends n null elements to a collection.
- EXTEND(n, i) appends n copies of the ith element to a collection.
7. TRIM Method –
This procedure has two forms:
■ TRIM removes one element from the end of a collection.
■ TRIM(n) removes n elements from the end of a collection.
If you want to remove all elements, use DELETE without parameters.
8. DELETE Method –
This procedure has various forms:
- DELETE with no parameters removes all elements from a collection, setting COUNT to 0.
- DELETE(n) removes the nth element from an associative array with a numeric key or a nested table. If the associative array has a string key, the element corresponding to the key value is deleted. If n is null, DELETE(n) does nothing.
- DELETE(m,n) removes all elements in the range m..n from an associative array or nested table. If m is larger than n or if m or n is null, DELETE(m,n)does

Avoiding Collection Exceptions
Defining and Declaring Records
To create records, you define a RECORD type, then declare records of that type. You can also create or find a table, view, or PL/SQL cursor with the values you want, and use the %ROWTYPE attribute to create a matching record.
You can define RECORD types in the declarative part of any PL/SQL block, Pl/SQL subprogram, or PL/SQL package. When you define your own RECORD type, you can specify a NOT NULL constraint on fields, or give them default values.
Example: Declaring and Initializing a Simple Record Type
DECLARE TYPE DeptRecTyp IS RECORD ( deptid NUMBER(4) NOT NULL := 99, dname departments.department_name%TYPE, loc departments.location_id%TYPE, region regions%ROWTYPE ); dept_rec DeptRecTyp; BEGIN dept_rec.dname := 'PURCHASING'; END; /
Assigning Values to Records
To set all the fields in a record to default values, assign to it an uninitialized record of the same type.
Example: Assigning Default Values to a Record
DECLARE TYPE RecordTyp IS RECORD (field1 NUMBER, field2 VARCHAR2(32) DEFAULT 'something'); rec1 RecordTyp; rec2 RecordTyp; BEGIN -- At first, rec1 has the values we assign. rec1.field1 := 100; rec1.field2 := 'something else'; -- Assigning an empty record to rec1 resets fields to their default values. -- Field1 is NULL and field2 is 'something' due to the DEFAULT clause rec1 := rec2; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Field1 = ' || NVL(TO_CHAR(rec1.field1),'<NULL>') || ', field2 = ' || rec1.field2); END; /
You can assign a value to a field in a record using an assignment statement with dot notation:
emp_info.last_name := 'Fields';
Comparing Records
Records cannot be tested for nullity or compared for equality, or inequality. If you want to make such comparisons, write your own function that accepts two records as parameters and does the appropriate checks or comparisons on the corresponding fields.
Check out the top SQL Interview Questions to learn what is expected from SQL professionals!
Inserting PL/SQL Records into the Database
A PL/SQL-only extension of the INSERT statement lets you insert records into database rows, using a single variable of type RECORD or %ROWTYPE in the VALUES clause instead of a list of fields. That makes your code more readable and maintainable.
If you issue the INSERT through the FORALL statement, you can insert values from an entire collection of records. The number of fields in the record must equal the number of columns listed in the INTO clause, and corresponding fields and columns must have compatible data types. To make sure the record is compatible with the table, you might find it most convenient to declare the variable as the type table_name%ROWTYPE.
Example: Inserting a PL/SQL Record Using %ROWTYPE
DECLARE dept_info departments%ROWTYPE; BEGIN -- department_id, department_name, and location_id are the table columns -- The record picks up these names from the %ROWTYPE dept_info.department_id := 300; dept_info.department_name := 'Personnel'; dept_info.location_id := 1700; -- Using the %ROWTYPE means we can leave out the column list -- (department_id, department_name, and location_id) from the INSERT statement INSERT INTO departments VALUES dept_info; END; /
Updating the Database with PL/SQL Record Values
A PL/SQL-only extension of the UPDATE statement lets you update database rows using a single variable of type RECORD or %ROWTYPE on the right side of the SET clause, instead of a list of fields.
Example: Updating a Row Using a Record
DECLARE dept_info departments%ROWTYPE; BEGIN -- department_id, department_name, and location_id are the table columns -- The record picks up these names from the %ROWTYPE. dept_info.department_id := 300; dept_info.department_name := 'Personnel'; dept_info.location_id := 1700; -- The fields of a %ROWTYPE can completely replace the table columns -- The row will have values for the filled-in columns, and null -- for any other columns UPDATE departments SET ROW = dept_info WHERE department_id = 300; END; /
Querying Data into Collections of Records
You can use the BULK COLLECT clause with a SELECT INTO or FETCH statement to retrieve a set of rows into a collection of records.

In this World, there are too much occasions and spots that offer despair. But there are also a bunch of things which you can adopt to bring yourself happiness. Below are given some of the habits that will lead you to happiness.
1. Bring Happiness to someone else
It is natural that when you bring someone happiness, when you do something which cheers them up, it will also bring happiness to your own soul. This might be the best thing you can do to your soul in this world.
2. Learn to Forgive Others
When you will start to forgive people, it will buy you happiness. You will have no hard feelings for others. Distress is always caused by the presence of complaints for others. Getting rid of them will make you feel light as flower.
3. Spend time with your beloved ones
This is the easiest and best way to calm your soul. If you are feeling stressful about something then talk about it with your family or whoever you love. This will be the natural therapy for your spirit.
4. Find Happiness in little things/moments
If you have ever ignored little moments of happiness then you might be a moron. They might be too little to ignore but they are full of happiness. Hold them to yourself and you will feel light.
5. Think about your goals/needs
When you will think about them then happiness will automatically make a contact with you. I mean all of us get excited thinking about our goals. That's called happiness.
6. Cooking with fresh foods
When you will cook with fresh supplies then you will feel your mood swinging towards joy. Try it if you do not believe me.
7. Don't wait for the things you want
If you are after something which you want desperately then you should get it without a hitch. That might bring temporary happiness but its still happiness. Avail it while you can.
8. Socialize with people
Some people prefer loneliness over socializing with others. I am not saying that this is bad. This is actually good but not all the time. You have to borrow some time from yourself to interact with others. This will also bring happiness to you.
9. Save some amount from your Income
When you will save a particular amount every month from your wage then you will also have a spare sum to spend. Consequently you could buy things which you were hesitant to get before. Again…..Happiness!
This might be one of the best habits that will lead you to happiness. Happiness starts to depart from our inners when we start worrying about our future or even about our past. The best cure is to live in the moment and think about the small things happening around us.
So these were some habits that will lead you to happiness if you adopt them. Stay Happy!

Looking for ways to pay your mortgage off faster? We have found three ways to shorten the long mortgage journey provided by The Globe and Mail:
- Instead of monthly payments, try biweekly. There are 13 four-week payment periods in a year, opposed to 12 months, allowing two extra biweekly payments. Contributing more payments in a single year will decrease the amount of time it would normally take to pay off your mortgage.
- Round up your regular payment by a small amount. For example, if you pay $575 every two weeks, consider moving that to $600. You likely will not notice the extra amount, but it will make a large contribution to your overall mortgage.
- Put down extra amounts if the funds are available. If you come upon an inheritance, receive some money through your tax refund, or get a salary bonus, consider putting that down on your mortgage. Your mortgage consists of two components, principal and interest. The faster you pay down the principal, the less interest accrues over time and the less you will end up paying in total. However, be aware of the lender's rules and fine print regarding paying your mortgage off prior to the full term. Some may penalize the borrower for paying off their mortgage early, others allow a certain prepayment on the mortgage anniversary each year. Always stay informed by your lender!

When Natalie moves to a new high school she befriends three unwitting victims into her spider-web of manipulations, lies and deceit. Through the poetry and assignments of an English class we glimpse the world of the four teens. Natalie, whose alcoholic parents, years of neglect and ultimate rape by her father's friend has shaped her into a cruel and manipulative teen; Tricia, dealing with her blended family, is drawn into Natalies' forbidden world of partying and rebellion; Kyle, a would-be musician is in love with Tricia and Miguel who lusts for Natalie while hiding the secrets of his family.
The story weaves us through their poetry, their lives and culminates at a party where the four lives fishtail out of control. English class will never be the same.

FC: My LIfe
1: By: Blake Kobel and Thomas Ganaden
3: I am a heart-filled and friendly person. I love children and taking care of them even though I do not have any. I have a sharp tongue and I use it to counter meanness and hate. I love gardening and sharing to Scout and Jem stories about their father earlier in his life.
4: Miss Stephanie Crawford is very important to me. She might have a big mouth but to me she means a lot. Whenever my house burned down, she took me in and let me stay with her.
5: This is Scout. She is my neighbor and pretty much my daughter. I take care of her like one of my own and would do anything for her.
6: This event effected my life forever. I care about my plants more than anything. In the middle of the night, I was keeping my plants warm and all the sudden my house caught fire. I was not aware at first but the fire spread very quickly. I hurried out and soon the whole neighborhood flocked around my house. Mr. Avery and Atticus went in after a few artifacts. Atticus managed to grab my most prized possession. After this I lived with Miss Stephanie Crawford.
7: The Tom Robinson trial really makes me furious. I didn't even go to the trial along with all the other people of Maycomb. What they accused and did that poor, innocent man is nonsense. Do not get me going on this trial because I will defend that poor guy like he my own son.
8: My rocking chair is my most prized possession. It was almost lost in the house-fire of mine. Luckily, Atticus was able to go in and save it for me. I love that man!
9: My flowers are the next most important things to me, right after my rocking chair. The ones I like to plant are called Azaleas. They come in all sorts of colors including pink and red. I care more about these flowers than I cared about my house that burned down!
10: "The handful of people in this town who say that fair play is not marked White Only; the handful of people who say a fair trial is for everybody, not just us; the handful of people with enough humility to think, when they look at a Negro, there but for the Lord's kindness am I." This sums up Miss Maudie.

Before Chronicle director Josh Trank put together his ultra-dark Fantastic Four origin story, his old screenwriter pal Max Landis was hashing out his own take on Marvel's First Family. Judging by the opening scene, Landis' version looks like a whole lot more fun.
Four years ago, Landis worked up a script treatment for a potential Fantastic Four film that sounds very different from the version Trank eventually made. With the whole world whipped into a Fantastic Four frenzy over the awfulness of the new movie, Landis dug out his old script and revealed the first four pages — which constitute a fairly entertaining opening scene.
The scene follows the gang all together as a SWAT team tries to stop them from launching a makeshift spaceship from the Richards family farm. We get some witty banter from the gang, and this version seems to have that magical element of "fun" that was desperately missing from the latest version. Say what you will about the mid-2000 abominations, but they at least tried to capture the pop-art, family vibe of the comics that's so desperately lacking in the new version.
Check out the four sample pages from Landis' script below and let us know what you think. Should Fox maybe dig this adaptation back off the shelf for a re-reboot?
(Via The Playlist, Max Landis)

I did this interview with Rep. Labrador earlier this month.
(CNSNews.com) -- When asked if President Obama is failing to uphold the Constitution by issuing work permits to individuals who are in the country illegally, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) responded: "Absolutely."
Labrador's remarks came after a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on the lack of interior enforcement of the nation's immigration laws.
CNSNews: "Do you believe that illegal immigration is a crime?"
Labrador: "You know, it's illegal to be in the United States illegally.

It has been quite busy, as usual here for me these days. I was truly grateful and overwhelmed by everyone's response to my drawing of Pancakes. It truly makes me feel that I am on the right track with things and I am doing something right. Again – I have to give a huge 'thank you' to teachers who present online classes for us to learn and expand our artistic horizons. It his world of negativity and sadness, it does wonders to focus on something as simple as creating as an 'escape'. I am often asked how I can remain so happy all the time. Like everyone, I have my issues, but for the most part I try to focus on things that are positive and uplifting, and I try to uplift others as well through my art. It is hard to stay sad when you see the happiness you are able to bring to others. Making even a small, positive difference in others' lives really makes a difference in my own. Again – thank you.
So what do I have planned for today?
As I look on my desk at all the things I want to tackle today, I know I will be having quite a bit of fun. It is filled with new projects, trying new products and general creating for patterns and classes.
I don't know where to begin first! (What a wonderful problem to have!)
I'll start with the pumpkin that I am creating for an online class for Toletown. I am privileged to be a member of their design team, and I have projects with videos up for the months of November and December. I haven't done videos in quite a while because with us moving and all, I have had to get my footing in my new studio and environment and figure out how I was going to do things. My previous videos were done in our small apartment kitchen and the lighting and so forth were not really what I would call "optimal". I had to hang the tripod off of the microwave behind me to hold the camera and while it worked, it certainly didn't give the best result.
Now I have a big, bright place to create in. Keith built a stand for my camera that should allow a great 'bird's eye' view of what I am doing. I can't wait to try it out. Hopefully this will mean more videos in the future. I like doing them, but since I have so much time in between them there is a learning curve every time I go back and do another. I hope to build up the library on my site and YouTube Channel so there is more information on woodworking, painting and yes – even embroidery. I hope you stick with me or check back to see how I am doing for that.
In any case, I liked the way the glass pumpkin came out that i did using Kim Christmas' pattern that I decided I wanted to make one for my own class:
Of course I won't be doing the same design, but I have some ideas of my own that will use this glass pumpkin that I picked up for under $7 at our Bulk Barn and use some cool DecoArt products to create a cool, unusual piece:
I can promise it will be unlike any pumpkins you have ever seen! :) (Keith tilted his head to the side when I told him what I had planned and said "Huh?") I suppose that you are either going to like it or not. That is what creating original art is all about, right?
My next project of the day is to finish off this word art pattern for my scrolling followers. I suppose there isn't really a mystery involved with this project, but I want to offer a couple of versions of it so that if you want to dabble in painting, you can give it a try. I think you will like the result for that project as well, and I hope it encourages some woodworkers to try their hand at painting! ;)
And finally – I want to try out the Krylon Gallery Series Fine Art fixatif for protecting my pastel picture of Pancakes.
This isn't the 'regular' fixativ from Krylon – I got it from an art store and it cost about twice as much. (La-de-DA!) But as you see on the can, it is supposed to protect artwork without dulling or killing the highlights and it lists pastels specifically on the label. I tried another fixativ when I was drawing Pancakes to 'set' his eyes, and it did kill many of the highlights. I wasn't too concerned, as I still had a while to go with the drawing and I just added them back in, but now that it is finished, I don't want to ruin it by dulling everything out. Yet I feel I need to protect it. I will certainly post the result for everyone to see.
So there is the plan of the day. I also want to make a nice pot of vegetable beef barley soup. I picked up some fresh corn and beans and it is another brisk, yet sunny day today. Soup will be a welcome treat.
I wish you all a lovely day today. I will be back tomorrow with progress on my several projects at hand. I can't wait to see them all get finished up!
Happy Thursday to you all!

The selection and combination of colors in the clothing is among the most important skills for the modern person. It is a sign not only of taste but can assist in achieving specific goals. Due to this reason soldiers for example have camouflage uniforms and illusionists – bright costumes. Key role in achieving this effect have the colors. Each of them has its meaning and causes various emotional reactions. Colors can underline your appearance and affect the attitude of others towards you. It is important to know what reactions the different colors may cause. In this way you can dress appropriately for every situation. Even in the most conservative clothes can be included unusual colors. For example as part of the print on the tie, the handkerchief in the coat's pocket or details on the cuffs. You can always be up-to-date.
Not needed is much time or efforts to select and combine the clothes and accessories.
The skill and sense we apply when making our choice are crucial for how will we look, not the price or the label of the clothes.
Intensive and aggressive color symbolizing bravery, attention, passions and energy. It causes not only psychological but also physical reaction. Researches show that the heart pulse and the breathing are increased when watching figures in red. This color is recommended when you do not have strength in rough days. Red can be a double-bladed knife. It is not appropriate to wear it at a job interview or business meetings where there is the probability for conflict. In such situations it can be combined with more peaceful colors, for example a sweater with red and blue stripes. For the conservative environment more appropriate are darker shades of red – cherry or burgundy.
It is an optimistic and happy color which symbolizes friendship and calmness. Not by chance it is used in the therapy of aggressive people. Pink is the color of good health. It does not have the screaming sensuality of the stronger colors like red. Charming and warm, the soft pink is perfect for personal meetings. It can lift up the mood in the gray winter days as well as complete perfectly the atmosphere in the sunny and warm days of the year. According to the conservative stylists, pink is not manly enough so it can be combined with gray as well as dark blue.
This color symbolizes trust and loyalty. It is connected with wisdom, tactics and high social status especially if it is "royal blue". Clothes in such color affect beneficially the nervous system. They fit people having troubles with sleep or who are hyperactive and collect negative emotions and stress. Blue is one of the most popular colors among the official suits as well as in the casual wear. Its dark shades are ideal for official meetings while the lighter shades are more suitable for the everyday life. The gradually changing of the shade is also considered creativity and willingness for new endeavors.
Yellow symbolizes success, warmth, enthusiasm and adventurous spirit. This color is related to the youth, sense of humor, optimism and unconventional thinking. Many people disregard the yellow because they think it is too rare but it has many shades. Yellow's cousin – the orange was considered by the legendary Frank Sinatra "the happiest color of all". If in spite of its pluses you do not feel secure to choose it as a color for your clothes, try to use combinations it is present in – striped sweater or printed t-shirt for example. Yellow is very appropriate for the summer days.

Verizon/Google tablet could see a Black Friday launch
HTC built tablet would run Chrome OS instead of Android
It looks like Black Friday news is already starting to leak out. This year's must have gadget? The HTC built tablet being worked on by Google and Verizon. The "busiest shopping day of the year" in the U.S. is the rumored launch date for the tablet.
This tablet will not be Android based; instead it will run a version of Chrome OS. This is surprising to some considering the popularity of the Android platform yet it would be a big way to launch the OS. Verizon and Google have remained expectedly silent on their plans, although it's possible that pricing could be as low as free with a data plan. Verizon has done this before with netbooks, so it's not completely out of line and would make this a pretty attractive competitor for the iPad if it has the power to do so.

Are your carpets filthy? Do you wish that it looked better? A carpet cleaning professional should be able to remove even the most stubborn stains. This article contains a variety of tips for choosing the right carpet cleaner to tackle your carpet stains.
Be sure to vacuum the carpet before the cleaning process is begun. The carpet-cleaning company should utilize high-quality vacuum cleaners in order to pull up loose dirt prior to using other cleaning products. Applying the cleanser on rugs that are full of dirt will only exacerbate the problem. If needed, wait for the stain to dry before using the vacuum.
Understand that all carpets cannot be cleaned with harsh chemicals and machines. Always test a small area of carpet before you clean the entire thing; any carpet cleaner you bring in should do the same. Silk or wool carpets can be damaged by harsh chemicals. Contact a carpet cleaning business if you don't know how to get your carpet clean.
Be sure to understand your carpet warranty before arranging to have your carpets professionally cleaned. Some carpets come pre-treated with stain treatment, and re-applying a different stain resistant formula can void the warranty. This leads to wasted money, and the chemicals might react negatively.
Make sure the carpet cleaning professionals are aware of any electrical outlets located on the floor. These sockets can cause injury if they are cleaned. It can hurt them or their equipment, but your home could suffer the most damage.
A good carpet cleaner should be certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. This certification is the most revered across the no data globe. If there's a warranty on your carpet, you must hire a professional to clean it. If there isn't a certification, the manufacturer can void your carpet's warranty.
Take plants out of your home before cleaning time. Carpet cleaning products might be poisonous to your plants, so this is a good precaution. If chemicals kill your plants, the majority of companies won't pay you back for the loss; therefore, you should make sure you take this precaution.
If you have carpeting in your home, you always want to have carpet stain removers just in case a bad stain happens and you are not scheduled for a professional cleaning any time soon. This solution should be applied to the surface of the stain without rubbing, as you should let it sit for about five minutes. Apply the solution clockwise for best results.
Make sure that there is a space set aside for a carpet cleaning company's truck in your driveway. This can actually be a problem if you don't think about it ahead of time. This will ensure that the work starts on time and help eliminate excessive work.
Avoid using a carpet cleaner simply due to the technology they use. While this may be beneficial, it is an actual person that is using this equipment. Find out whether they are thoroughly answering all your questions. Are they honest? Those are the kinds of things you ought to search for.
Don't rub stains on your carpet. They just spread and get deeper. Instead, gently blot the area with vinegar and water, or with a bit of salt and warm water. If you must rent any equipment, then by all means do so.
As you've read, professional carpet cleaners can completely rejuvenate or make your carpet look as good as new. The tips you learned here should help you as you choose the right carpet cleaning company, so you can enjoy the results. Hiring a professional company to clean your carpets is much cheaper than replacing them.
Once the work is split, it's each person's liability to ensure that the work gets accomplished within the time frame that is mentioned. Below are a few strategies for the identical. We thank you for scanning this notification, and presenting us your precious time. Clean the toilet inside, external, in the wheel and in the bottom using a disinfectant that is powerful. For that, follow the instructions for your device and you may have to rent a barrier from any property equipment shop as stated. In accordance with research from IBISWorld, in the US, this specific field grew from 2008-13 in the common price of 0.1%, and developed a revenue of around BSD 8 thousand, and experienced about 45 companies. ➥ Two causes have largely added for the escalation in this assistance or venture: One, the surge in the customers discretionary revenue, and minute, improved consciousness about health and the advantages of organic or natural foods. ➥ Originally, you can try to tap the area areas for company. Additionally, they are ecological and really affordable helpful. People who are buying pipes in the electronics shop desire a plumber and a plumber requires the hardware shop to purchase goods from. I suppose this point also has something to do with wordofmouth advertising and also this too could very well be the best way to advertise a business that is small.
