The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar III, has commended the Tony Elumelu Foundation and its Founder, Mr. Tony Elumelu, for their contribution to entrepreneurship and creation of jobs for young people in the North.
The Sultan made this commendation during a courtesy visit Elumelu, shortly before the National Dialogue Series at the Usman Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, where he gave a speech to the students and civic leaders.
The Sultan stated that Elumelu's intervention, through his foundation, and entrepreneurship advocacy had created jobs and helped in ensuring security in the North by keeping idle youths off the streets.
"We need more Tony Elumelus. We need more Aliko Dangotes. We continue to appreciate what you are doing for our youths, because when you take these children off the streets, you provide the means for them to live a simple life. In that regard, we have a bit of security," Abubakar said.
Tagged: 'Entrepreneurship: An Antidote to Nigerian Youth Unemployment', the event was hosted by the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abdullahi Zuru, who commended Elumelu on his dedication to encouraging entrepreneurship among the youth.

When you place a picture in InDesign, the program sees it as two objects: the frame and the graphic nested inside of it. If you choose the Selection tool, you can manipulate both at the same time. If you choose the Direct Selection tool, you can manipulate the frame or the content—the graphic itself. Fortunately, InDesign displays the graphic bounding box in a different color (the inverse of the current layer color). Unlike QuarkXPress and PageMaker, when you apply numeric scaling to a graphic, InDesign gives you access to both the frame and the graphic bounding box, in some cases each may have a different scaling value!
So, when you manipulate a picture in InDesign, always pay attention to which tool is selected. Select an image with the Direct Selection tool to adjust only the image, or select it with the Selection tool to adjust both the image and its frame together. If you want to change the frame but not its contents, first Option/Alt-click on the frame with the Direct Selection tool, or use the Selection tool and turn off the Scale Content option in the Transform or Control palette's flyout menu.

Final Fight (SNES) review
"Wielding pipes and swords in addition to being able to toss about knives helps keep the gameplay fresh, as your actual hand-to-hand repertoire is limited to pounding one button continuously to unleash a series of kicks and punches before a knockdown is scored. You can also jump kick foes to effect an immediate knockdown of lesser damage. Pressing both buttons simultaneously will have your character execute a spin move that is unique to him. Haggar performs a lariat, and Cody does a spinning kick. Sadly, Guy's spinning kick is M.I.A. along with him, so that the coolest character and the coolest move are lost in one go. "

Some of you may know, I used to have a blog called [just had] A Bright Idea where I focused mostly on interior design & decor and some DIY-ing. When I started Style Oyster, I wanted to incorporate those things along with my love of fashion and all things, well, stylish. Unfortunately, leaving that blog for a new url posed it's challenges. I lost the readers I had acccumulated over the 6 months of having the blog as well as the content…but wait, that content is NOT lost! Thanks to Blogger, I was able to move it over to Style Oyster. However, it was a little outdated (the wording in some, etc.) and of course the pictures were all tagged with my JHABI logo (and a few with even older blog logos than that! I had some name change issues…) I am putting this paragraph here as a preface to these posts because even though they are from the past, they are still projects that took a long time and are dear to my heart and I didn't want to lose them when I officially take my old blog off the Internet. So I apologize to those of you who have followed me since [just had] A Bright Idea, as you will be experiencing some deja vu, but I know some of you are new and this may all be new content to you. So bear with me, I plan on posting these once a week until they are all on Style Oyster. Thank you so much, and I do hope you enjoy. xoxo
I've been looking for the perfect secretary desk for. like. EVER.
Last week, I found this one on Craigslist:
Isn't she a beaut'? I know what you're thinking….she could use a little TLC. Let's just say the previous owner had no idea what she was doing when she painted it. The desk was obviously brown originally and she had spray-painted it white (a BIG furniture-painting no-no)…an absolute crappy job. She said she had been going for shabby chic – well, I think it was more shabby than chic.
Enter: ME.
I had the perfect vision of my secretary desk long before I bought this one. My desk had a stark white semi-glossy painted exterior with modern brushed nickel hardware. The inside cubby holes would perfectly fit my bill paying items & business products, i.e. calculator, checkbooks, business cards, etc.
Let me tell you step by step how I transformed this desk into a lovely piece anyone would be proud to own.
Step 1: I started by removing all of the hideous gold (and then spray-painted gold – yes spray-painted) old antique-y original hardware. I then took measurements of the holes to make sure I purchased hardware that would fit right into the holes.
Step 2: I sanded down the entire desk and drawer faces with 100-grit sand paper to make sure the primer would have a good surface to stick to. Thankfully, my handy hubby is a carpenter by trade, and I have all the tools handy you could ever need, so I had power sander to get the job done quickly.
Step 3: After sanding, I dusted off all the surfaces and got the primer ready. I used a paint roller made for cabinet and door painting. I put on a nice, even coat of primer and let it dry for a couple hours.
Step 4: Once the primer had dried, I excitedly went about putting on my first coat of white paint. I used Olympic Premium Semi-Gloss paint in Ultra White from Lowe's. I used the same type of paint roller for this step. I let the first coat dry overnight.
Step 5: I put on the second coat of white paint and let dry. For the cubbies, I thought it would be cute to use some of the same pink paint we had leftover from painting the walls in the room it was going in. I painted the outside of them white and then used the pink paint to carefully paint the insides with a foam brush. (That extra set of drawers and dresser you're seeing is a small dresser that is also in the same room…it had a previous bad white paint job and old hardware as well, so I got knobs to match, sanded the whole thing down and painted it as well – two birds with one stone!)
Step 6: I installed the new drawer hardware that I purchased at Lowe's. (One of the small drawers was a bit chipped off, but I didn't worry about fixing it just yet, may get hubby to fashion something eventually.)
Step 7: I moved the desk to her new place home and started loading her up! (Imagine my excitement when I found out she fit JUST perfectly on the wall right between the window trim hubby had installed when we first moved in!We're talking like a half-inch to spare. PERFECT.) Here she is, all finished:

Hi and Dry: Alcohol-Free Receptions
Dry weddings aren't just for alcoholics anymore. It used to be that "dry" was synonymous with problem drinkers, and while it's true that many people with alcohol-related issues don't want liquor served at their weddings, others are adopting the idea as well.
For your gay reception, the advantages of a dry wedding are numerous. For starters, you'll save a bundle of cash. Liquor is a huge budget buster, even if you're just serving wine, and cutting it out of your affair entirely will make your wedding much more affordable.
If you're worried about unruly friends or relatives, and think alcohol is going to help them spoil your day, a dry wedding alleviates that fear. Also, you won't need designated drivers or hired taxis to shuttle inebriated guests home.
For your own pleasure, a dry wedding keeps the temptation to overindulge out of sight and mind. Most of us have been to parties where we don't remember a thing the next day, and, chances are, you'd rather not forget when your dad toasts to your life partner and talks about how proud he was on the day you came out.
If you or your partner do have a drinking problem (or if a close relative does), a dry wedding is perfectly acceptable, and not something you don't need to apologize for. However, even if you and all of your wedding party are in AA, you should inform guests on the invite that it will be a dry reception.
(The downside of a dry wedding? No one drinks, no one gets smashed, and there's no Champagne toast. If those ideas really bother you, put the liquor back in the budget.)
If you decide to have a dry wedding, brunch or lunch affairs are terrific ideas. Most of your friends probably don't enjoy drinking at noon, so it fits the occasion. You can have coffee drinks, dessert trays, or, for morning, donuts or a waffle station. Personally, if I go to an afternoon affair, I'm far more interested in the cupcake tree than the wine varietals.
If you want to hold your reception at night, a dry wedding is particularly well suited for a weeknight. Your friends and relatives will thank you the next day (not just for the fabulous affair, but for keeping them from having to go to work with a massive hangover).
Remember, it's your wedding, your reception, and your decision. If you and your partner don't want liquor served at your ceremony, the only voice of reason you need to listen to is your own. Cheers!

Britpop Band Reunions – Five That Were Huge Successes, Four That Fell Flat
By Jordan Bassett
29th September 2015
Indie-pop shoegazers Lush have announced a reunion show, their first together in almost 20 years, to take place at the Roundhouse in London this May, gap yah psychedelic types Kula Shaker have confirmed a new album and, as we learned again this week, those Oasis reunion rumours won't go away. Britpop reunions, then – in the news again. But which Britpop reformations have worked in recent years, and which ones have fallen flat? Let's see...
Suede: 2003 wasn't a great year for Brett Anderson and his raffish cohorts. After 2002 LP 'A New Morning' was critically mauled and fared badly in the charts, the quintet took stock and posted on their website that "there will not be a new studio album until the band feel that the moment is artistically right to make one". That moment came in 2013 when, following a string of reunion dates – London's O2 Arena among them – that were bigger than any venues they'd played in their prime, they released excellent new LP 'Bloodsports', thus righting a lot of wrongs.
Blur: Not sure if you'll remember this little-known group from Essex? Oh wait, no, they're still one of the biggest bands in the country. Things may have been rocky in Camp Blur by 2003's Coxon-less LP 'Think Tank', but in December 2008, after a five-year hiatus, fans got the best Christmas present of all when all four band members confirmed they would be returning to the fold. The comeback began with two huge Hyde Park shows in June 2009 and continued with sporadic festival headline shows, two returns to the London outdoor space and finally 'The Magic Whip' - their brilliant, Hong Kong-inspired album released this April. In 2015, Blur are as strong as ever.
Shed Seven: During the post-Britpop wilderness years, Shed Seven drummer Alan Leach became a wedding DJ. Oh dear. Thankfully, however, in 2007 he stepped away from the decks as the band embarked on a greatest hits reunion tour. Though Shed Seven never earned the kudos of some of their more noted Britpop peers, nostalgia proved a strong enough lure for the tour to become their biggest ever, with venues bumped up due to demand. A compilation album followed, as well as a 15-year anniversary tour of second LP 'A Maximum High' in 2011. They're the Shed that keeps on giving.
Pulp: It's one of the great Britpop reunion travesties that Pulp decided not to release a new album after reforming in 2011. Still, at least there were some incredible shows – a triumphant Hyde Park headline in 2011 and a secret set on the Park Stage at Glastonbury the same year among them – and a 'new' single ('After You', recorded in 2001 but not released until 12 years later). And hey, maybe there's some kind of savvy smarts in not risking their legacy on a new LP anyway. Let's just keep telling ourselves that, yeah?
Dodgy: The London trio's 2012 comeback album 'Stand Upright In A Cool Place' – the original line-up's first since 1996's 'Free Peace Sweet' – deserved a warmer reception than the lukewarm one it was given. It only charted at Number 76, but was a moving meditation on the passing of time set to sun-kissed melodies, reminding us that Britpop wasn't just about 'Parklife'.
Menswe@r: Something of a Britpop punchline, the London four-piece are essentially a synonym for the worst excesses of the era. Their 2014 'reunion' show at Bush Hall in London, meanwhile, barely even qualified as one: singer Johnny Dean cobbled together a new line-up to play a perfunctory run through of the hits, which were sadly thin on the ground. No wonder drummer Matt Everitt prefers life as Shaun Keaveny's foil on the Radio 6 Breakfast Show.
Cast: The Liverpudlian Britpoppers released their comeback album 'Troubled Times' in 2012 and its title proved a sad omen: the record was a disappointed retread of the '60s-influenced psychedelia that made their name, but with grimly uninspiring lyrics ("Maybe it's gonna rain/Like never before in Spain") and a distinct lack of hooks. A shame, because they weren't half bad in their day.
My Life Story: The London group's orchestral quirks stood out from the crowd in the heady days of Britpop, with singer Jake Shillingford even more of a theatrical dandy than Brett Anderson (if such a thing were possible) and so a reunion had the potential to establish them as on the of the great, lost bands of the era. But their 2009 reunion in Koko and subsequent sporadic shows failed to herald a reappraisal, and they've not made much of an impression since.
The Verve: While The Verve's 2007 reunion and subsequent 2008 LP 'Forth' technically were well received (the album went straight to Number One in the UK), you could make for a strong case of nostalgia and positive thinking playing their part. You know how 'Be Here Now' sold bucketloads just because it was Oasis and then everyone collectively came to their senses? Yeah, that thing. Lacking the youthful, antagonistic angst that made the likes of 'Urban Hymns' so vital in their day, their Noughties comeback just felt a bit sluggish.

Super Chevy has hot Saturday
The weather just a tad cooler on Saturday at Maple Grove Raceway, but the action was still hot as the Super Chevy Show presented by Original Parts Group went head first into the weekend.
Over 600 cars took part in the drag race portion while nearly 200 were on the show field for the first day of the Car Show.

Dr Kim Allen, senior researcher for the Academies Commission, writes about the growing trend toward academisation in our schools.
Dr Kim Allen is a senior researcher for the Academies Commission
The impact of the government's drive to increase the number of academies in the school sector will be put under the spotlight in a new independent commission chaired by Professor Christine Gilbert, former chief inspector of Ofsted. The commission is provided in partnership between the RSA and the Pearson Centre for Policy and Learning.
The academisation of schools is a central plank of the coalition's flagship policy agenda to increase diversity and autonomy in state schooling.
In 2010 the education secretary Michael Gove opened up the academies programme so that all "successful" state-maintained schools can apply for academy status as part of an "education revolution".
Since this time there has been a mass swelling of academies, including sponsored academies, converter academies and new 'free schools'.
The rate of academisation has exceeded all expectations: as of March 2012 there are 1,633 academies open and more than one in three secondary schools are now academies. Many more schools are in the process of applying to become academies.
• Non-academies do just as well as academies 3 Apr 2012
• Think tank Reform's school academy claim lacks academic rigour 28 Mar 2012
• Time to rethink our approach to teaching 16 Mar 2012
But what does this mean for pupil outcomes? The academies programme, both in its New Labour and coalition guises has been controversial.
Removal from local authority control, governance arrangements including the role of the Department for Education and the Secretary of State, the involvement of private sponsors, and the perceived "top-down enforcement" of academy status on "failing" schools have all sparked debate.
And the coalition government's focus on 'successful' schools, in contrast to the previous focus on underperforming schools by the New Labour administration, provoked further controversy. The speed at which academisation has progressed indicates strong support from headteachers and governing bodies.
There is no doubt that, in addition to funding incentives, the notion of autonomy appeals to many schools, and there have also been many notable success stories in terms of reinvigorating struggling schools.
Nonetheless, aspects of academies policy remain controversial including the faith in market solutions reflected in academies policies; the effectiveness of diversification as a method of improving education systems (including the promotion of equality of opportunity, as 'outstanding and good' schools who can now free themselves from local authority control are disproportionately represented in affluent areas); the impact on non-academy schools as funds are redirected to individual academies; and the impact on inter-school collaboration.
Furthermore, while Michael Gove and others claim academies produce better outcomes than non-academy school in terms of pupil attainment, this has been strongly contested.
Such debates will continue as more schools opt for academisation, existing sponsors and organisations rapidly increase the number of schools within their chains and federations, and develop their modes of governance.
Within this unprecedentedly fast-moving terrain, much of the debate has been retrospective, focusing on debates about principles when the metaphorical horse has long bolted; and there is an occasional impression of operational policy being created 'on the hoof', such is the speed and scale of change.
As the commission chair Christine Gilbert states:
"What has been notably absent from the government as well as from media and education specialists, is analysis of the implications of mass academisation.
"Nobody has explored what are the unique features of an entirely academised system, and what impact these will have on young people's educational outcomes."
This new independent commission will do just this: collecting evidence and expert views from a range of stakeholder groups, the commission will examine implications of academisation from a school improvement perspective, focusing on issues of accountability, governance, due diligence and outcomes for pupils.
Over the next eight months the commission will develop a practical but compelling vision for the future of UK academisation.

For the financial planning industry, the UKs Brexit vote and ensuing market volatility highlights the need to adopt a new reality: this is what the markets will continue to look like in the foreseeable future.
That said, how can RIAs and fee-based advisers adequately protect clients' portfolios from dramatic swings without completely eliminating any potential upside?
Long before the Brexit vote, volatility was rated a top concern for both advisers and investors in our second annual Advisor Authority study conducted by Harris Poll, which surveyed 638 RIAs and fee-based advisers and 733 individual investors nationwide.

British singer Ellie Goulding has undergone therapy sessions to help her cope with recurring panic attacks.
The Starry Eyed hitmaker revealed in 2010 she checked into hospital after feeling like she was "having a heart attack" and subsequently discovered she suffered from anxiety attacks, which became so bad she struggled to leave her home.
Goulding has revealed she underwent treatment to address the issue, but occasionally finds the problem re-occurs.
She tells British newspaper the Daily Mail, "I couldn't even leave the house, so I decided to have therapy. A few weeks ago, I felt the attacks coming back, but I can handle them now."

BELL VIEW--I've been struggling with an issue lately. My first taste of local politics came via the Neighborhood Council system. I lived up the street from the City's light pole storage facility. Directly across from a Carnegie Library, in the middle of one of the denser neighborhoods in Los Angeles, filled with school-age kids and renters without backyards, the East Hollywood Light Yard, as it came to be known, represented for me a lost opportunity to make the lives of the people in East Hollywood just a little better.
The kids in East Hollywood, kicking soccer balls up against the razor-wire fence of the Light Yard deserved a park just as much as the kids in Brentwood. More so, since most of them didn't have a backyard they could play in.
At one of the first planning meetings I attended for the updated Hollywood Community Plan, I remarked to one of the presenters that our neighborhood had no parks. "You have the Selma Park," he replied.
"You mean," I said, "that square playground surrounded by a twelve-foot-high fence?"
"Well," he said with a chuckle only a guy from the West Side could muster, "The Tuileries is surrounded by a fence and people seem to like that just fine."
The Tuileries – the 75-acre park and garden in the middle of Paris. In other words, let 'em eat cake.
The struggle I've been having is how to reason around what is becoming the consensus response to a housing crisis with my innate distrust of those who figure kids dodging traffic, choking on exhaust fumes, and never learning to ride a bike is just a cost of doing business. Only in America do we believe everything must continue to grow or it dies. No one fights for parks or open space any more. It's all about housing – or "infill" if you're a true romantic.
Why is it that in Los Angeles – a city dripping with history on every street corner – all we can aspire to is generic housing? Everything in this City is expendable, and the more iconic, the more beautiful, the better. Take Mariachi Square in Boyle Heights. Why even think about changing it? Would the people of Paris accept a Jamba Juice in the Tuileries?
We live in the dark ages of architecture, with no discernable esthetic beyond the maximization of profits. Parks – the beating heart of any true neighborhood – count for nothing. History is washed away in response to the latest crisis.
And our saviors lick their chops as they carve up the spoils.
When I first joined the Neighborhood Council I expected to have a hand in the direction of my own neighborhood. I pictured myself popping champagne corks with then-Councilmember Garcetti as we made life better for the people of East Hollywood – people who for as long as anyone could remember never had a voice at City Hall. Instead, every battle I took up ended in defeat to the forces of big money, and I got pushed further and further to the fringes.
I feel as if my side in this battle got chosen for me. A lot of people on my side see this as a zero-sum game. I don't agree with that. But if fighting for a quality of life for the people who actually live here puts me on the wrong side of history – for now, I'm willing to keep on fighting.

For example, during January, the northeastern coast, closer to the Caribbean, sees a huge amount of rainfalls so you do not want to go to the beaches over there for this period of time. But the middle part of the country enjoys a lot drier weather. During October, however, the southwestern coast, closer to the Pacific, receives tons of rainfalls while drier regions move up toward southwestern part of the country. It is this pattern that makes it tricky to pinpoint the appropriate moment to go to Costa Rica.

Texas Transportation Institute Traffic Congestion Study
Feb 05, 2013, 01:01 EST
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) President & CEO Pete Ruane released the following statement about the Texas Transportation Institute's "Urban Mobility Report":
"Washington, D.C., has the dubious distinction of being number one in two areas. It is the capital of partisan gridlock, and now traffic gridlock.
"The finding in the Texas Transportation Institute report that America's transportation network is more unreliable isn't a surprise to the millions of motorists who slog through bumper-to-bumper traffic in cities of all sizes, or to the businesses attempting to move their goods and services.
"The real news in the report is the projection that traffic congestion costs will balloon another 65 percent by 2020 if we maintain the status quo. The number of hours of lost time will also skyrocket 55 percent.
"While we may have to accept deadlocked politicians, there are ways to get Americans moving again. Robust new investments aimed at creating additional highway and public transit capacity, and providing more travel options could help accelerate economic recovery and better prepare the nation for the 21st century mobility challenges that come with it."
Established in 1902, the Washington, D.C.-based ARTBA is the "consensus voice" of the U.S. transportation design and construction industry before Congress, federal agencies, White House, news media and general public. On behalf of its 5,000+ public and private sector members, ARTBA advocates for strong investment in the nation's highway, bridge, rail, airport, and port and waterway infrastructure systems.

545 PEOPLE By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

Why doesn't the number of HR reps grow proportionally with census data?
Are you joking?
We, meaning america ,demand endless handouts. That is why both McCain and Obama played Santa during election campaign. That is why Obama won. Even those few that still think Iraq invasion was a great idea didnt want to pay higher taxes to pay for it.

And of course, they only vote for their own. The politicians know this. So voting them out doesn't appear to be an option. On to Plan B.
The American people are being bankrupted by our own government and I'm afraid that nothing short of bloodshed will stop this criminal activity.
"1 over 50,000. This is approximately the proportion of representatives to counted citizens (ex 2/5 slaves, Indians not taxed, etc.) according to the 1800 census numbers. In other words, in the Congress of 1800, congressional districts were about 50,000 strong..."
Don't include me in that "We". Anyone who has read any of my posts from the past knows that I believe that everyone should tow their own weight in this economy and, with few exceptions, if they don't, they can simply disappear as far as I'm concerned.
But in one of his little infomercials, I vaguely recall Perot making a statement about "We The People" going to Washington with ropes and 2x4's and I liked that.
Those in Washington will never do the right things until they fear the lynch mobs at home. Plain and simple.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Soros, is that you?
The question is not how government works, but how to make it stop.
You want more of them?
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
Get Our Of Our House
Cleaning up the mess made by the 545 is like washing a turd. You aren't getting rid of the stench until it is allllll gone.
Voting for an incumbent should get you 6 months and a $5,000 fine - oh, wait...voting for an incumbent DOES get you 6 month working just to pay taxes and $5,000 less in net worth.

Save 30% During Our End of Financial Year Sale!
At +Direct Shutters we are holding our annual end of financial year sale. You can save 30% off our range of Adelaide-made roller shutters and security screens for windows and doors.
|Find out more about our Adelaide-made roller shutters at our website
Protect Your Home From Extreme Weather With Roller Shutters
You can prevent or reduce extreme weather and storm damage to your home through installing roller window shutters. In strong winds, flying debris and broken tree branches can be propelled at great speeds and velocity, while heavy hail can shatter windows or the glass in doors. This can lead to internal water damage as rain can be blown in through smashed doors and windows, while shattered glass and outdoor debris can cause damage to fixtures and fittings.
Roller window shutters are designed to stop damage being caused to your doors and windows, which can help to prevent both exterior and interior harm to your home. Roller window shutters are produced from aluminium and have foam insulation, which means they are extremely strong and durable, and able to resist just about anything heavy winds or extreme weather can throw at them. In addition, if necessary, it is possible to purchases roller window shutters that conform to Australian CSIRO cyclone standards.
Furthermore, when they are closed, roller window shutters do not rattle or shake in high winds, meaning that you can still experience peace and quiet during the heaviest of storms. In addition, roller window shutters are quick and easy to operate (either manually or by remote control), meaning that they can be closed at a moment's notice of an impending storm.
Roller Shutters Keep Your Home Warm in Winter
Reduce Your Energy Costs With Roller Shutters
Recent research carried out in Australia using National Housing Energy Rating Software has demonstrated that the reductions in energy use to be gained by installing insulated roller shutters can be significant (www.nathers.gov.au). Given the high costs of electricity in Adelaide, this could amount to a substantial saving on your annual power bill, as well as an important reduction in your home's carbon emissions.
Overall domestic energy efficiency has been shown in Australian research to be much improved by the installation of insulated roller shutters, and in turn this also means a reduction in domestic emissions as well.
Improve Your Home Security
Roller Shutters are Suitable for Commercial Premises
Roller shutters, however, can provide a vital extra layer of defence against any or all of these challenges, saving you both money and time, as the clean-up job from a broken display window or office door is expensive, time consuming and extremely inconvenient.

Politics can sometimes seem like a game of musical chairs.
And with the election of state Sen. Jerome Delvin to the Benton County commission, we're likely to see that in evidence in the months ahead.
Delvin will give up his Senate seat to take on his new role closer to home as a county commissioner.
It will be up to the Benton County Republicans to collect applications from potential candidates, then the party precinct officers in the 8th District will narrow that group to three. The county commissioners then appoint one to the seat to serve until the next general election.
Delvin said he plans to continue his work as state legislator for the first few weeks of the 2013 session, which begins Jan. 14. That means Delvin will still have a voice at legislative committee meetings next month and the opportunity to introduce a few bills before he resigns. And that's admirable.
The downside is that the district could still be without representation in the Senate for up to 60 days of the 105-day session while local officials debate his replacement.
The process of finding that new senator won't begin until Delvin is sworn in as county commissioner on Jan. 2. An interesting twist is that Delvin will be one of the county commissioners voting on his own replacement in the Senate.
And even though it will be January before that process begins, Rep. Larry Haler, R-Richland, has thrown his hat in the ring. That follows the historical pattern of the senior House member from a region stepping up to take a vacated Senate seat. Since the replacement has to be a Republican, it will be interesting to see who else seeks the appointment.
Haler is the logical choice, and challengers would be hard pressed to beat him out of the spot in the Senate.
If Haler, earns the nod, that would leave his seat in the House of Representatives open. Are you starting to see how this feels like musical chairs?
The same process would follow to fill Haler's vacated seat.
For that position, we like Rick Jansons.
Jansons lost to Delvin in the county commissioner's race, but he was a strong candidate.
Jansons is president of the Richland School Board and has served as vice chairman of the Hanford Advisory Board and vice president of the Richland Public Facilities District board, among other avenues of service.
Jansons has kids in first grade through graduate school, and we know he wants to stay close to home. But this opportunity is a good one for him to represent our area on a state level. We hope he at least considers putting his name in the running.
The changes ahead will be intriguing for our region. We're excited to see someone with Delvin's state-level experience coming home to serve a county that is in need of a critical eye on its budget.
His connections in Olympia should help the county in the years ahead.
Haler has earned our respect for his work for the region and the Senate would be a good fit for him if he receives the appointment as expected. The real question mark will be filling Haler's vacated seat.

"You have to imagine the entire product in advance before you build it." –Tony Fadell
Do you find it difficult to make your dream a reality?
Does it seem like the world is stopping you from obtaining an achievement lifestyle?
In the 1990's, Tony Fadell was one of the industry's leading experts. He was the co-founder, CTO, and director of Engineering for Mobile Computing Group for Phillips. At the height of his career, Fadell decided to take a turn and create his own consumer electronic company. His new company, Fuse, was set to launch when tragedy struck. The company failed to raise a second round of funding, and had to close even before taking off. Instead of looking for the comfort of an old job, Fadell pressed forward, and began pitching his ideas to companies…one of which was Apple. Apple was excited about his idea of a personal music player, and decided to bring him on board.
His ability to press on, to obtain fanatic focus, is what helped him stay focused on what he wanted to achieve. This fourth wave of Junoon, fanatic focus, does not let the individual become distracted by things outside their ultimate goal. Fadell was passionate about his idea, and wanted to move it into an arena where it could be successfully executed.
Fadell entered Apple in 2001, and began to work on a product that he had already finished in his mind. His ability to see the whole product, imagine its finality, focuses on another wave of Junoon, Sixth Sight. In the sixth sight, you see what you need to do, how you need to do it, and why you need to do it. You experience a breakthrough. You translate your plan into practical reality.
During his time at Apple, Fadell has been accredited as being the unspoken genius behind the Ipod. His ability to find his Junoon and pursue his greatest goal, led him to develop a device that would change the world.
