In a worldwide study, Indonesia has ranked number 1 in valuing the reputation of its CEOs. A new survey conducted by Weber Shandwick, with KRC Research has found that Indonesian respondents perceived the highest percentage of company market value as attributed to the reputation of the CEO.
The survey suggests that it is developing countries who place higher value in their CEOs' reputation, with the next top scorers being Turkey who reported 60%, Malaysia 59% and Brazil 55%. This is in contrast to Japan and the U.S who gave much lower scores, 28% and 38% respectively, and the U.K who scored the lowest overall with a bitty 25% - well below the global average of 44%.
There were some countries however, that didn't follow this pattern. For example that well-developed powerhouse Hong Kong reported a fairly high perception at 51%. Norway, too, placed strong value on the reputation of their CEOs, reporting 48%.
The study goes further, to discover what factors help construct a credible reputation for the CEO. According to the findings, "humility" made the most significant difference. A highly-regarded boss is almost six times more likely to be described as humble by his executives compared to less highly-regarded CEOs: 34% to 6% respectively. Are we turning away from celebrity and searching instead for credibility, and does a humble CEO deliver that impression best?

text: Thanks for your input I like to hear both sides and I placed an apology to all of you honest commercial divers in Florida sportsman diving forum and I believe I also apologized in one of my replys here. If you were diving in the lower keys these structures would also be affecting you. Thats why your three repersentivites on the spiny lobster board are asking FWC to issue special permits to dive on illegal structures that were placed by a few law breaking members of your community. If casitas are not a problem in your county you must not live or dive in in Monroe county. Maybe we should be asking that commercial taking of lobster by diving stopped in Monroe county. But I am not sure this would work because these guys are so crooked the would smuggle them up to Dade or Collier county just like drugs so that would not stop them from placing more structures further out in the gulf. these illegal structures are really my main concern and I do believe traps cause damage but the lobster industry both commercially and recreationally is a vital resource for the Florida keys. Thanks again for your input and if you are on the florida sportsman forum I would appreciate your input on the diving and conservation threads I have placed there.

I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance
For better or worse Kilimanjaro beckons. This weeks learning points include:
- Carrying my 15Kg rucksack on 90Km of test walks this week has proved it's possible, but also really heavy! Water is the real culprit. 2.5litres of water is obviously 2.5Kg and as it stands there is no room for my Salomon Speedcross 2 shoes, that I hoped to take to go running
If it is really too heavy after day 1 I'll transfer some contents into the porters bag, which is currently weighing in at only 1.5Kg (Sleeping Bag, Peanut Butter and Nestle Power Bars !!)
- I understand that I need to take my Yellow Fever Certificate with me, I could be refused entry to Tanzania without it
- As a UK citizen I should really have purchased a visa before hand, but living in Switzerland this is impossible. I can't wait to the discussion this is going to generate at Border control Tanzania.
- British Colonialism has thankfully left us with UK electricity plugs in Tanzania
- You are best taking the US dollar to exchange into Tanzanian Shillings. Today Monday September 28th 2009 I USD = 1.305 TZS .
- I found out that you should be hiring 2-3 porters per traveller. Also they do not carry water. Water is obtained from mountain streams and purified by the cooks and then again probably by us. A porter should be carrying no more than 15Kg of your stuff, and no more than 25Kg total.
- My tests with 2nd generation Solar Powered battery chargers are the failure I had predicted. Once your phone and speaker battery is depleted a solar panel is not going effect a convining recharge, only a mains socket.
- Raidlight rucksacks and Carbon fibre poles are sufficiently fragile that I'll place them in a purposefully unattractive cardboard box box for air shipping. I'll discard the box on arrival. It's a nice gesture to donate some of your kit to the Porters or Guides at the end of your trip so there is less of a need to think how to bring it back.
- In addition to Powerbars I've settled on Kumquats as the ultimately practical trekking food. Since you eat the whole fruit including the skin (only the pips remain) and they are absolutely delicious. If you like oranges you will just love Kumquats.
- Due to peer pressure I'm taking a more cold weather gear than I would like. The dilemma is that no Google'd article or Guidebook is sufficently clear on the temperature profile at this time of year. When we get back we'll blog the real story. Did we need those big fat ski gloves and thermal trousers or not!!

Sofa Cum bed: These are the most trending beds as they have versatile feature for becoming an elite sofa and a comfortable bed. The diverse variety of patterns in the same is luring. It is the ultimate solution when you have less space, and you wish to decorate the house with best furniture unit.

Many platform beds even have built-in underbed storage. This extra storage is possible because the space is not being taken up by a box-spring.

What we'll do
A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship, and Resistance in Occupied France
They were teachers, students, chemists, writers, and housewives; a singer at the Paris Opera, a midwife, a dental surgeon. They distributed anti-Nazi leaflets, printed subversive newspapers, hid resisters, secreted Jews to safety, transported weapons, and conveyed clandestine messages. The youngest was a schoolgirl of fifteen who scrawled "V" for victory on the walls of her lycée; the eldest, a farmer's wife in her sixties who harbored escaped Allied airmen. Strangers to each other, hailing from villages and cities from across France, these brave women were united in hatred and defiance of their Nazi occupiers.
Eventually, the Gestapo hunted down 230 of these women and imprisoned them in a fort outside Paris. Separated from home and loved ones, these disparate individuals turned to one another, their common experience conquering divisions of age, education, profession, and class, as they found solace and strength in their deep affection and camaraderie.
In January 1943, they were sent to their final destination: Auschwitz. Only forty-nine would return to France.
A Train in Winter draws on interviews with these women and their families; German, French, and Polish archives; and documents held by World War II resistance organizations to uncover a dark chapter of history that offers an inspiring portrait of ordinary people, of bravery and survival—and of the remarkable, enduring power of female friendship.

It has been a little over a year since the Lord called my Dad Home to be with Him. Right after he passed, I blogged about the 7 stages of grief.
I also journaled my stages of grief and realized they didn't "line up" with what I read in that internet article. It took awhile for me to become aware of the fact that there is no cookie-cutter way to grieve; we all grieve in different ways and to different degrees.
The past year has been one long learning experience for me, and the same is probably true for many others in my family.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I learned who my true friends were during that difficult time. That was a painful thing to learn.
But on the bright side..
I have learned to slow down and savor every moment with my loved ones. Because even though the doctors were telling us that my Dad wouldn't recover, I still believed he would. And I still believed that we would have many more years with him.
I have learned to wait. The grieving process can be a very long and slow one. And I believed people when they told me that it gets easier after the first year. It sounds crazy, but I was hoping the one-year anniversary would hurry p and get here so things would get easier! Wrong. It's a different kind of grieving, but we are all still grieving..and in some ways, it's not any easier. Especially when weeks and months go by and reality sets in: Dad is not here. I am still waiting for it to get easier.
I have learned that crying is ok. For example, people asked me why I was crying for Dad when I knew he was with the Lord. (Yes, you read that right!) Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us that there is a season and a time for everything. Verse 4 says that there is a time to weep and a time to mourn. I wish I could have come out of my grief-fog long enough to quote those verses to those people. I wanted to say, "Just let me cry!" However, the grief was still very raw, and I was having a hard time just thinking straight. But I have learned to never admonish someone who is crying for a lost loved one.
I have learned to listen. Sometimes one of my kids just wants to talk about my Dad and the funny things he used to say or do. they will say, "Remember when Granddaddy used to.." So I drop everything and I listen to them as they recall those memories, knowing they are locking them away in their minds by re-telling them. And one day, they will tell their children and they, too, will know all about my Dad.
I have learned to watch....to watch my children as they grieve and be ready to help them through it. We are grieving together, but they might be grieving in a different way than I am. I am always on alert to see how they are progressing through the grieving process.
I love this graphic that I found online.
Having said all that, I am so thankful that my family and I do not "sorrow as those who have no hope" (1Thessalonians 4:13). We will see Dad again, no doubt. We look forward to that day.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." ~ John 11:25

Photographer's Note
Microcentro Region
The Buenos Aires central business district (CBD and also referred to as the City Porteña, Downtown and Microcentro), is the main commercial centre of Buenos Aires, Argentina, though not an official city ward.
The area was the site of the first European settlement in what later became Buenos Aires. Its south-north axis runs along Leandro Alem Avenue, from Belgrano Avenue in the south to Retiro railway station in the north, and its east-west axis runs from the Buenos Aires Ecological Reserve to Ninth of July Avenue. The district is centered around the San Nicolás ward, and includes the northern section of Montserrat, the section of Retiro south of Santa Fe Avenue, and the section of Puerto Madero west of the Buenos Aires Docklands. The district is the financial, corporate, and cultural hub of Buenos Aires, and of Argentina.
Italian and French influences increased after the overthrow of strongman Juan Manuel de Rosas in 1852, and particularly upon the advent of the modernizing Generation of 1880. French architecture insipred the area's redevelopment during the beginning of the 20th century, and eclectic designs that drew from Beaux-Arts, French Academy, and Second Empire architecture were reflected by numerous historic buildings in this districts from the era, notably the headquarters for La Prensa, City Hall, the City Legislature, Buenos Aires Customs, Palace of Justice, the National Congress, the Teatro Colón, the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the Buenos Aires Central Post Office, and along most of the Avenida de Mayo and Diagonal Norte Avenue.
The Alas Building, commissioned by Juan Perón and built in the early 1950s, was the tallest in Argentina until 1995, and was one of numerous commercial structures built in the Rationalist style in this area during that time. Since the 1960s, newer, high-technology buildings were designed in the district by Argentine architects Clorindo Testa, Santiago Sánchez Elía, César Pelli, and Mario Roberto Álvarez, by firms such as SEPRA Arquitectos and MSGSSS, and by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly. Some of the more notable commercial developments completed since then have included the Catalinas Norte office park, Torre Bouchard, Bouchard Plaza, Galicia Tower, the Repsol-YPF Tower.
The Photo
Here I was at Presidente Roque Sãenz Peña Avenue close to San Martin street with the Metropolitan Cathedral in my back. This avenue is a main artery that cut diagonally the microcentro's San Nicolás quarter and that why is commonly called Diagonal North.
This avenue have many pretty buildings and fron there you can see the "The Obelisk of Buenos Aires" a national historic monument and icon of Buenos Aires. Located in the Plaza de la República, in the intersection of avenues Corrientes and 9 de Julio, it was built to commemorate the fourth centenary of the first foundation of the city.
The Obelisc have 67.5 meters and was built in May 23, 1936.

My wedding photography will preserve your wedding day for eternity. My focus is foremost on the human story that is being told. Through the preparations, wedding ceremony and celebration I will capture the beauty and details as your bridesmaids help you put on your dress, when your makeup is applied, when you start being nervous for the wedding ceremony, when your parents cry, when your grandmother gives you a big hug, and when your dog look at you inquisitively. Similarly, my associate will photograph the groom as he becomes increasingly nervous and is helped through the day by his best friends and family.
I stay alert through the entire wedding day, ensuring that I preserve the elegance, details, emotion and surprises: the venues, flowers, wedding cake, table setting, tears of joy shed by friends and family, support provided by friends and family, fun and zaniness of your party, and most importantly the new beginning for you and your loved one.
My wedding photography utilizes a photo-journalistic style. I am unobtrusive, unnoticed as possible and friendly at your wedding. As a complement to my photo-journalistic style, I also take a selection of traditional and contemporary, posed photographs that detail your beauty and intimacy.
I also provide engagement photography sessions so you can have beautiful photographs for your wedding invitations, wedding registry, guest board and more. I focus on capturing your love, intimacy and romance during your engagement photography session. These engagement photography session is also a great first photography experience before your wedding day – it is a good opportunity for you to get used to being in front of a camera and for us to gain a rapport as we work together.
I photograph every wedding and portrait session using professional Nikon cameras and digital raw file format – a memory intensive format that captures every possible details and allows for the most exquisit wedding albums, prints and gallery wraps. Your digital files are backed up both on-site and off-site ensuring their preservation for life. All of your wedding photographs are professionally edited and the selection that you choose for your wedding album and prints are additionally hand edited. My editing never results in unnatural appearance, artifacts, overly saturated colors or other artificial qualities. Instead, through a time consuming process, I ensure your wedding photography is naturally enhanced to perfectly express your wedding's elegance, flair and emotion.
Our relationship is as eternal as your wedding photography and as your family grows I am also here. You can rely on me to also provide family photography with the same focus on capturing your growing family's love and intimacy. In fact, I am so confident that you will love your wedding photography that I put my name on it, Tomoko Photo.
I hope that you have enjoyed viewing a sample of my portfolio and reading this description of the services that I provide. Read more about me and my photography in my about page. Feel free to contact me at your leisure. Face to face meetings or phone calls work best to build the relationship and rapport that is that is the hallmark of Tomoko Photo. Call me!

I'm always decorating my dream home in my head (and in my pinterest!), so I was pretty excited when One King's Lane asked me to design a dream vanity mood board with one of their beautiful mirrors as the center-piece for their Reflect your Style campaign.
I like my decor to be elegant and as unfussy as possible. So it's always a challenge to keep it looking lux and colorful instead of drab and plain. Fun colorful accents are always the solution when I'm trying to brighten up a space! Pink and navy is one of my favorite color combos. They were the colors I picked for my first dance recital. And one of my wedding saris! The combination is so feminine yet grown up. The colors remind me of India and my colorful life back there.
Now, on to the vanity, I picked this beautiful mint/turquoise mirror as a centerpiece to the entire space. I added a beautiful rich, deep pink rug to offset the rustic white table and chair. To tie it all in together, I added this beautiful gold flower vase with some bright pink flowers.
I love to use the One King's Lane website for inspiration (and eye candy). You can click here to sign up if you're not a member. They also have a great resource guide with detailed posts on interiors and decor and history of design around the world!
Just creating this mood board has inspired me to brighten up "my beauty corner"! Hope you had fun reading this post! Do you have a separate vanity? What colors would you pick for your dream vanity?

Often, as adults, we feel like children need to share. Research shows that sharing is not intrinsic until children are 7. Instead of telling children they need to share, we should teach children the language to use (if they want
to share or if they do not want to share). Often when a child approaches another child and wants the toy, the child playing with it might ignore the child, scream, or walk away. Instead, that child has some options. If they are still playing with it, they can say, "I'm playing with it right now. Maybe later" or they can say, "Here you go" if they want to give the toy to the peer. If you have play dates scheduled, model the language as your child encounters a problem. If a child walks up and takes a toy your child is playing with it, look at your child's face – are they wanting to keep it or are they okay giving the toy to their friend. Based on their facial expression, you can model the language ("I'm playing with it right now. Maybe later" or "Here you go"). You'll see less screaming, fighting, and ignoring because your child has the language to use in this situation.

Recently, we were presented with the challenge to develop and deploy more than a dozen websites over a span of months within the Sitecore content management system. As we rolled out each new site, it was important to ensure that each one did not interfere with the ongoing activity of sites that had already gone live. We found the Sitecore Azure Edition to be an excellent solution to this particular challenge, though not without some drawbacks.
Sitecore Azure Edition interface
Sitecore Azure Edition makes the task of transitioning a website from a development environment to staging and, ultimately, to production quite simple. And while the interface may not offer much more than what is possible in tools like Visual Studio or Azure PowerShell, Sitecore's Azure Edition also removes opportunities for human error during environment transitioning tasks. This was especially important for our project, as we were frequently deploying large updates to a live system.
Sitecore Azure Edition config patches settings
In addition to the simple deployment interface, Sitecore Azure Edition conveniently provides a wide array of additional controls to customize deployment options to suit the requirements of your application. For example, we found the config patches to be particularly useful; using the simple XSLT format, almost any configuration option can be modified automatically. This feature virtually eliminated the often heavy manual process of preparing a new deployment's transition from a development environment with development settings to a production environment with production settings.
The Sitecore Azure interface does have its limitations, however. For some advanced scaling settings, endpoint configuration, monitoring, etc., we found that the only way to accomplish these tasks was through the Azure Management Portal. Fortunately, Sitecore will stay in sync with Azure, and any changes you make directly in the management portal are reflected accurately and instantly within Sitecore.
Another particularly unusual quirk we discovered was that the initial deployment using Sitecore Azure included content editing and content delivery farms under a single traffic manager. (It was difficult for us to imagine a scenario where you would direct the same traffic to both editing and delivery environments.) While this is easily corrected through the Azure Management Portal, as is customary with any application, we had to carefully review all the default settings.
A final challenge we encountered was troubleshooting. The deployment process is so automatic that it is easy to overlook the number of steps involved and the possible points of failure. The most common unexpected problem we encountered was Azure services undergoing maintenance or an outage in the Azure platform. (These outages never actually caused downtime or service interruption for the production system; however, they did occasionally prevent us from deploying updated packages.)
Every case is different, and what works for one application certainly won't work all. Overall, the pros of the Sitecore Azure Edition certainly outweighed the cons. The solution was a good fit for the application our client requested, and we would definitely consider it as an option for future projects on a similar scale.

Will your babes diaper be part of their Halloween costume?
Where normally it's not exactly considered tasteful to bring your baby around in only their disposable, the same is not true for cloth. Yet another reason that cloth rules!
Does the same go for seasonal outfits? Will your babies cloth diaper be a part of their costume or will it be covered up? Do you buy seasonal diapers or consider them to be a waste of money since they can only be shown off during a certain time of year?
If buying Halloween, Christmas or other holiday inspired diapers are not in your budget you can always just coordinate with plain colors. Melon, orange, or black diapers work for Halloween while red and green of course work for Christmas and winter.
So what's the verdict? Are seasonal print or embellished diapers a part of your holiday plans or will you stick to more versatile diapers?
Have any cute photos of your little ones in diapers that complement their Halloween costumes or other seasonal outfits? Post your pics to our FaceBook Page Wall, we'd love to see them!

It depends on the ambient temp here in the evenings by then. It's cool now, but there's always Indian summer. We plan on using babylegs on arms AND legs, so it will be adding shorts or something if we think we need more 'coverage'. Hopefully it's fairly warm.

The nation's air-travel system fell apart again last Friday night, when the space shuttle Atlantis was just about the only flight that was on time on the East Coast.
It is a bit of an exaggeration, but consider the actual numbers of flight delays that began choking the system on the East Coast Friday morning after an air traffic control computer failed in Atlanta. By early afternoon, delays began piling up, especially in the New York area, where flights were arriving two to three hours late by early evening at Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark, and at Boston and Philadelphia.
As always happens when one major air center becomes snarled, delays cascade through the system. Here are the national on-time arrival rates for Friday for the seven top airlines at the top 10 airports, according to flightstats.com: US Airways, 36 percent; Delta, 57 percent; American, 59 percent; Northwest, 62 percent; Southwest, 65 percent; United, 67 percent; and Continental, 69 percent.
Joe Brancatelli, the publisher of the subscription business travel Web site joesentme.com, said, "June 8 goes down as the worst travel day of the summer so far, and the summer hasn't even started yet."
In the first four months of this year, nearly 25 percent of domestic flights arrived late, the worst record in 13 years, according to the Transportation Department. This year is shaping up to be the worst ever for delays, and there will be lots of blame to go around, and lots of finger-pointing. Among the villains and accused will be:
¶Severe weather, the dependable Snidley Whiplash of delays.
¶Reduction of capacity as airlines divert bigger planes onto more profitable international routes and toss more small regional jets into the skies, thus increasing overall air traffic in an attempt to put a paying passenger in every seat available.Continue reading the main story
¶The Federal Aviation Administration, which will increasingly take it on the chin as evidence mounts that its outdated technology is unable to handle growing air traffic demand.
¶The rapidly expanding private-jet industry, including its brash little sister the very-light-jet industry, just now taking to the skies. A battle royal is shaping up between commercial airlines and the business-jet industry, especially over using, and paying for, the air traffic control system.
"We have more planes with reduced capacity in the system, and of course that's adding to congestion," said James C. May, the president of the Air Transport Association, the commercial airlines' trade group.
But Mr. May and others think the F.A.A. needs to move quickly to improve the air traffic control system. "The consequences of Congress not acting aggressively to make difficult choices on a next-generation air traffic control system are going to be even more extraordinary delays," he said.
There is growing tension between the airlines and the surging private-jet industry. There are more than 8,000 private jets in the domestic skies, about as many planes as the commercial airlines have. The nascent very-light-jet industry is expected to add thousands more.
The business-jet industry says that it imposes far less strain on the air traffic control system because most business jets can fly into more than 5,000 smaller airports, rather than the 460 or so used by commercial airlines in airspace most heavily supervised by air traffic control.
Mr. May concedes that, but adds that most of the private-jet traffic is flying not into some dusty little airport in the sticks, but rather into expanding general aviation airports in congested urban areas where the highest concentration of commercial airliners are.
"I accept the fact that they're going to smaller airports, and that's wonderful," Mr. May said. "But they're using the same air traffic control system. They get really angry at me when I say a blip is a blip is a blip." Air traffic controllers have to pay the same attention to a business jet carrying 8 people as a 737 carrying 180, he said.
The private aviation industry is well aware of this, and supports the calls for vastly improved air traffic technology. One unpopular solution would be to schedule departures and arrivals of private jets more formally; now, their owners are accustomed to setting their own schedules. Meanwhile, commercial and private operators are squabbling about user fees for the air traffic control system.
"I think people are simply going to have to adjust as more airplanes come in and the system becomes more congested," said Robert E. Brown, the chief executive of CAE, a worldwide company that provides flight training and aircraft-trainer simulators, mostly for general aviation and the military.
Last week, CAE opened a $100 million center for training new business-jet pilots near the Morristown Airport in northern New Jersey, an expanding general aviation airport an hour's drive from New York.
The center includes six highly sophisticated simulators for training pilots to fly several Falcon business-jet models as well as Gulfstream IV's and Sikorsky S-76 helicopters. It is within 400 miles of more than 40 percent of the business-jet activity in the United States, CAE said.
The general aviation industry says that private jets and other noncommercial flights make up less than 5 percent of operations at the nation's top 20 commercial airports. True, the airlines agree. But private jets and other general aviation flights mainly use smaller but rapidly growing airports nearby — within major metropolitan areas — among them Van Nuys in Los Angeles; Teterboro and Morristown in the New York airspace of northern New Jersey; and DeKalb Peachtree in the airspace of the nation's busiest commercial airport, Atlanta Hartsfield.
Barring a catastrophe, industry officials agree, air traffic will continue to grow, both commercial and private.
Amidst all this, some involved in aviation are saying not to blame those little 50-to-70-seat regional jets that airlines have been increasingly using. While those jets add to the number of planes in the sky without increasing capacity, they also make it possible for air service to continue in small and midsize communities where it does not make economic sense for big airliners to do business, said Michael J. Boyd, an aviation forecaster who is a fierce critic of what he calls "chronic mismanagement" and "foot-dragging" at the F.A.A.
"Bottom line: it's the F.A.A.'s responsibility to have a system that can handle demand, and the F.A.A. is failing miserably to deliver," Mr. Boyd said.
Marion C. Blakey, the F.A.A. administrator, said in a recent speech addressing delays, "We're trying to take steps to avoid the repeat of last year." Ms. Blakey said the F.A.A. had been expanding "airflow space programs" that give airlines the option of flying longer routes to avoid severe weather or, as she put it, "Unwanted visits by Mother Nature."Continue reading the main story

More Information About Chimney Sweep Vacuum Cleaners
Chimney Sweep Vacuum Cleaners
"What benefits does a chimney sweep vac have over a normal HZQ machine?
Numatic's range of chimney vacuum cleaners benefits from a variety of customisations that make the job of chimney sweeping easier and more practical within the home environment.
Simple changes to the general set up of the vacuum make it the ideal tool for the chimney sweep. For instance, on the HZQ750-S there are five key changes that make this vacuum ideal for the chimney sweep;
- A Cable Winding Cradle - This may seem like a simple modification and even slightly unnecessary (winding the cable up and holding it is ok right?), but when you are carrying the vacuum over a client's white carpet and the cable makes a break for freedom, leaving a soot mark on the carpet you will be pleased that this facility is included. Not only that, it makes for a great carry handle.
- A Re-usable Bag - The reusable bag is sent out with the HZQ750-S and is intended for a disposable bag to be used within it, ensuring that any dust collected cannot escape and mark carpets or the sofa.
- Grab Handles - These make it easy to carry the vacuum empty or full.
- No Wheels - Why not just fit wheels? Well although wheels may seem like a good idea in an industrial environment in the home it is a very different situation. Imagine you park the trolley on a fireplace then when the job is done you wheel the vacuum out the house, only to find some nice long black lines trailed across the carpet following you. Grab handles and no wheels ensure that this is never a temptation.
- A Wooden Base - Not only does this protect the vacuum from bumps and knocks during transportation it also serves to protect any surfaces the vacuum is placed on from scratch.
"Why should I spend so much on a "soot vacuum" when I have been using a Henry for years without a problem?"
Research in recent years has proven that soot dust is carcinogenic and can be extremely hazardous to your health. (HSE article on occupational cancer http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr595ann6.pdf)
"That's ok I wear a dust mask whilst I work"
This is fine for you, but do your clients wear a dust mask whilst you are working in the house? Even after you have finished a standard vacuum cleaner will have been using all of its power to throw the very finest of particles out into the air for you and your clients to breathe in.
It is in your interest to protect yourself and your customers from airborne soot dust at all times, and a specialist soot vacuum or even a standard hazardous vacuum cleaner is a responsible and effective way of doing this.
If you need any further information please feel free to contact our sales team. We are able to offer advice and even further customise vacuum cleaners to suit your specific needs.

NORTH TEXAS -- Derek Alldred gets around. And now, police say the convicted con-man of a long trail of women across the country is in North Texas.
On the run since December, police say Alldred is known for meeting women through online dating sites, duping them into believing he's a war hero (or a lawyer, or a professor) and then taking them for thousands of dollars.
Police say Alldred has targeted multiple victims in California, Arizona, Minnesota and now Texas. A warrant was just issued for Alldred's arrest for credit/debit card abuse by The Colony Police Department.
"He'll use different job titles such as doctor or lawyer or even the military and that gives him the security and story to tell his victims, 'Hey, this is why I'm out of town for so long,' so he's doing it to somebody else, multiple people, multiple times," said The Colony Police Department spokesman Kyle Koiner. "When you get somebody doing this, it's a slap in the face."
The Colony police turned to Facebook this week for the public's help finding Alldred who may be using the name Richard Peterson or Rich Tailor.
Our sister station KARE in Minneapolis has done extensive reporting on Alldred in the Twin Cities where he's been charged with impersonating an officer.
"Linda," a divorced, single mom in Minnesota, met Alldred on an online dating site last year. Alldred told her he was a professor and also had an elaborate tale of his life as a Navy Seal.
"It still makes me sick to my stomach that someone would pretend," she said. "That someone would take someone else's medal and someone else's uniform and put it on as if it was his own."
Alldred pleaded no contest last year for theft in Arizona and then skipped town before his sentencing. According to court documents, the Phoenix Prosecutor's Office warns that anyone who connects with Alldred "is a potential victim."
Police encourage anyone with information to come forward.
"Don't be embarrassed," said Koiner. "Things happen, and things can be fixed."

Hey everyone! I have decided to start up my own competitive team, that I decided to call "Pokemon Aura". You have maybe seen me else where here on the forums as SirGaryOak, in game with the character name LeGaryOak or on the PokeMMO TeamSpeak as LeGaryOak. I want this team to be consisting of competitive players only, but a few layed back shiny traders who have some interest in competitive play will be allowed here as well. This forum page is the continuing of our old forum page, and is made to improve the old one. First of all we will have a lot more space than we used to, on the old page I barely had any space to add achievements along will all the other stuff I wanted. Second of all this forum account will be shared between me and the officers, so it can updated more frequently and well just to make it all more baldsmooth. We do not recruit anymore. Anyway, if you would still like to join...

The below questions are intended as a brief overview of the safety considerations involved in battery storage in residential and small commercial applications (e.g. 1 kWh to 200 kWh in size).
This information has been prepared with consumer safety in mind to answer some common questions about energy storage, and points to further sources of information that may be helpful to those using a battery storage system. It is aimed at those who have purchased or are considering purchasing energy storage, and therefore already have some knowledge or experience. However, it also provides some limited background information on batteries to ensure that consumers are appropriately informed.
A consumer checklist on battery storage safety is also available.
Note: This information was prepared by the CSIRO in consultation with the Clean Energy Council, key industry stakeholders and dedicated focus groups.
General questions
What does a battery storage system look like?
A battery storage system for a typical residential home looks like a small fridge or hot water system. For small commercial applications, they can be larger ranging in size from a large fridge to a 20-foot shipping container.
How does a battery storage system work?
Battery storage uses a chemical process to store electrical energy, which can then be used at a later time. For example, a solar-powered torch stores electrochemical energy during the daylight hours that can be used to provide light at night.
What are the benefits of battery storage?
The increasing number of solar panel installations in households around Australia is providing a new market opportunity for energy storage. Large batteries or multiple batteries joined together in battery banks can store the energy produced by solar panels. The household can then use that stored energy at a later time, or sell it back to the electrical grid. For home owners, there are three main benefits of storing energy:
- maximise energy savings (by being able to store the solar energy and thus use it more effectively)
- offset consumer feed-in tariffs (by being able to avoid using the grid at peak times when electricity is more expensive)
- provide continuity of supply (if the site has unreliable grid supply).
Is battery storage safe?
Battery storage is perfectly safe if it is used properly and is well looked after. There are potential risks, but these are no different to the many electrical hazards already present in the modern home. However, it is important to be aware of the risks so they can be properly managed.
Safety aspects of battery storage to consider include:
- general hazards of electrical wiring (as are already present in your premises)
- chemical and fire or explosion hazards (these are similar to the hazards associated with bottled gas or a natural gas service)
- possible escape of nonflammable gases when charging or discharging lithium batteries (which may cause risks of inhaling noxious gas that are similar to those of a natural gas leak if there is no ventilation)
- production of chemical leakages (similar to those from the corrosive fluid of a car battery or household chemical cleaning products).
What types of battery storage are available, and which is the best?
The main options currently available for household energy storage are lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. Both of these are described in below question 'Which type of battery is right for me?'.
Other less common options include nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and flow batteries. The latter may be more costly, but can still offer value, depending on how much energy you want to store and how you want to store it. The best battery storage for a given situation will depend on a number of factors. To work out which option is right for you, it is best to work with an accredited designer.
Can I go off grid?
Installing battery storage in your home does not necessarily mean that you can disconnect completely from the electrical grid. Generally speaking, going off grid is not practical for the average urban consumer because:
- it might be difficult to store enough energy to reliably cover your use during cloudy days in winter
- you would not be able to sell any surplus energy back to the grid
- there are likely to be significant extra costs (e.g. special additional equipment like the installation of an air-conditioning system) for the battery enclosure.
Technical questions
How does battery storage work?
Batteries store electrical energy (e.g. the electrons generated from solar panels) in a chemical form. When the energy is required, an electrochemical reaction releases the flow of electrons to be used as electricity.
Different battery types (e.g. lead-acid and lithium batteries) store and release electrons in different ways. Hence, the various types of batteries need specific kinds of treatment to ensure they work properly in a household or commercial situation.
A battery has three basic components, as shown in the figure below:
- anode (negatively charged electrode)
- cathode (positively charged electrode)
- electrolyte (medium through which ions move).
Wires and devices (loads like lighting) external to the battery completes a circuit, allowing the electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode, providing electricity as the battery discharges. When the battery is charging, the electrons flow in the reverse direction. Once the anode and cathode have returned to their original state, the battery is fully charged.
What is the difference between AC and DC?
As shown in the figure below, the power that comes from a grid power station and is available at your household power point is called alternating current (AC). Batteries and solar panels produce direct current (DC).
In a typical household system of solar panels and batteries, your solar array will produce DC power. This DC power is then converted to AC by the solar inverter, to make it compatible with the AC mains power coming into your house from the grid.
A battery system also uses DC. The batteries are usually connected to the AC mains power in a similar way to that used for the solar panels. Thus, an inverter converts DC power from the batteries to AC power. This makes the system suitable for connection to the grid, and allows the batteries to charge and discharge depending on your household usage.
What does battery capacity mean?
The capacity of a battery is the total amount of charge that it can deliver, and it is expressed in the units of ampere-hours (Ah). The energy stored by a battery is defined by the charge it can deliver at a given voltage. Hence, a battery's stored energy is the product of Ah and V (volts), which is equal to watt-hours (Wh). Typically, household energy demands are of the order of several thousand Wh; thus, kilowatt-hour or kWh is the common unit of measurement.
The battery capacity quoted by the manufacturer is an 'ideal' number that is useful for comparing batteries. In reality, once installed in your home or commercial premises, the capacity will be somewhat less when the batteries are used. This is because, for the batteries to perform well over many years, they must not be completely discharged to an empty state. The management system that controls your battery storage system will prevent the batteries from being completely discharged. However, if your batteries are being charged from solar panels, they will supply less energy during times when solar generation is low, such as rainy days in winter.
How much storage do I need?
Every household is different. In the same way that you match the number of solar panels to your household's energy requirements, your battery storage capacity also needs to be matched to your needs.
Typically, residential battery storage systems range from 3 to 12 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in size. For small-scale commercial installations, the storage can be up to 200 kWh. The kWh size of your storage system will be influenced by:
- your budget
- where you live, your house orientation and type of house
- your average household energy consumption
- the time of day when household energy consumption occurs
- the size of your solar panel installation and the energy generated by those panels
- ambient weather conditions
- customer feed-in tariffs available to you
- how you intend to use your battery (i.e. to supplement your energy supply, or to allow you to become entirely self-sufficient).
An accredited designer will be able to advise you on the most suitable size for your needs and local conditions.
Which type of battery is right for me?
Lead-acid batteries
The technology behind lead-acid battery storage is similar to that of a car battery, but with thicker electrodes. Lead-acid batteries are commonly used with solar panels in remote rural homes, where connection to the grid is prohibitively expensive. Thanks to advances in the technology, low-maintenance, sealed lead-acid batteries, well suited to solar power storage, are now available.
Many lead-acid storage systems have been installed across Australia. This uptake has mainly been driven by a combination of advances in the technology and the availability of cheaper solar panels.
(compared with lithium-ion batteries)
(compared with lithium-ion batteries)
Well-understood technology Require regular (albeit simple) checks and maintenance Relatively cheap Easy to acquire Limited depth of discharge (i.e. only a small percentage of the energy stored can be used) Readily recyclable
Lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are becoming a popular choice for use with household solar panels, and may become the main technology used in the future. Lithium-ion technology has been used for many years in portable devices, such as laptops and mobile phones. Due to falling costs and increased production, they can now be manufactured in larger sizes and are well suited to storing solar power.
(compared with lead-acid batteries)
(compared with lead-acid batteries)
Higher capacity and storage Potentially higher (and less well known) safety risks than other systems; for example, fire hazards Lighter weight Smaller space and environmental footprint Reduced maintenance, due to inbuilt battery management systems
Other technology types
Other technology types include nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and flow batteries, but these are less common. If you are interested in these types of technologies, the manufacturer or accredited designer will provide you with more detailed information.
Who should install battery storage?
For household and small-scale commercial installations under 200 kWh in size, we recommend a Clean Energy Council accredited installer.
Ask your installer for all the relevant information regarding accreditation, regulation and compliance. As this is a new industry, these aspects are recent additions to the solar industry – they are in place but are being refined.
Some initial questions to consider include:
- What building codes and regulations affect battery installers in my state or territory?
- What are the requirements for maintenance and operation of my battery system?
Who are Clean Energy Council accredited designers and installers?
Two different types of installation accreditation are currently in place for the installation of battery storage systems. A person can hold grid-connect installation accreditation with battery endorsement or grid-connect installation accreditation plus stand-alone installation accreditation. Additionally, the person must have sufficient qualifications for the specific battery type that will be used.
Additionally there is an accreditation for the design of battery storage systems.
Accredited designer – a person who is accredited by the Clean Energy Council to design grid-connected battery storage systems or stand-alone battery storage systems (or both), and holds all relevant qualifications.
Accredited installer – a person who is accredited by the Clean Energy Council to install grid-connected battery storage systems or stand-alone battery storage systems (or both), and holds all relevant qualifications.
The context in which battery storage is used is important for safety considerations. Therefore, it is essential that information on safety is specific to you and your battery installation. The questions on this page are intended to supplement rather than replace one-on-one consultation with an accredited designer.
You can search for accredited designers and accredited installers on our 'Find an installer' webpage.
Where should batteries be installed?
Some batteries may produce gases that can be a fire hazard if allowed to build up. Batteries must therefore be installed in a well-ventilated space or enclosure away from the living areas of the house. Ideally, the battery enclosure should be located, for Australian conditions, on a south or east-facing side of the residential or commercial premises. Also, the enclosure should be purpose-built to ensure it has the right specifications for the battery size and weight, and for battery performance and safety. Battery performance is affected by temperature variations. The design of the enclosure should therefore take into account temperature stability through insulation or ventilation, or both. The enclosure:
- must be readily accessible for safety and emergency response should an incident occur, but only by authorised personnel such as emergency responders and accredited installers.
- must not be accessible by children
- should be vermin-proofed
- should display appropriate signs relating to safety, warnings and shutdown procedure.
The top of the enclosure must not be used to store heavy items such as pot plants, garden tools or other household metallic equipment.
What happens if I move house?
It is possible for a storage system to be moved if you change residence, in the same way that solar panels can be moved. However, if the system is to be moved, it must be carefully uninstalled and reinstalled by an accredited installer.
What considerations should I be aware of when installing?
Battery systems for day-to-day household use are about the same size as a small fridge or water heater. The cabinet or housing of the battery should be built to comply with the standards and building codes applicable in the relevant jurisdiction. For example, in the Australian Capital Territory, the battery enclosure must comply with fire and building regulations. Your accredited designer will be aware of these requirements.
What maintenance is required for my batteries?
Different battery systems have different requirements. Most battery maintenance is not difficult or onerous, and is very important for ensuring the best performance of your battery storage system. The maintenance should be performed by the accredited installer. In addition, it is a good idea to carry out visual checks at least once a month, to keep your system in top condition. If you notice something is not right, call your accredited installer.
Once your storage system is installed, the installer will provide you with basic information about how it operates. You will need to understand how to interpret critical system health information, and recognise when your storage system needs attention. Your installer should provide you with a log sheet or table to record the system's critical measurements.
When doing maintenance on the system, the accredited installer can provide you with feedback on the system's performance, and help you to understand your usage and the system's limitations. If there is an internal failure in an individual battery cell, that cell can begin to perform poorly long before the system as a whole has a problem. Again, this is something that the accredited installer can identify during maintenance of the system.
The lifetime of a battery is strongly dependent on how the system is used. Poor or heavy usage may mean the product does not last as long as the manufacturer's specifications. The lifetime also depends on ambient temperatures. All battery types should be checked during extreme hot or cold weather to see whether they are still performing as required.
Your electricity consumption may also change over time, which can alter the long-term performance and life of the battery system. Check with your installer when the maintenance is undertaken, in case your consumption has changed significantly (e.g. if more people are living at your property or you have purchased new appliances).
If you are unsure of anything about your energy storage system, please contact your accredited installer, who will be able to assist you.
What about disposal and recycling?
Batteries contain harmful materials such as acid, lithium and heavy metals (e.g. cadmium, cobalt, iron, lead, nickel and zinc). How much of the material can be recycled depends on the type of battery; for example, the materials of a lead-acid battery are generally 98 per cent recyclable.
The metals inside batteries can be valuable, and many recyclers will pay for old batteries. When you replace a battery module, dispose of the old batteries at a battery recycling station or other suitable site (look for Australian battery recycling initiatives in your local area).
Lithium batteries must not be recycled in the same way as lead-acid batteries, because they may cause fire or explosion if they are mistakenly included in the lead-acid battery recycling process.
It is possible that one or more cells may fail sooner than the expected life of the system as a whole, and these individual cells will need to be replaced and recycled. The responsible disposal or recycling of one cell is just as important as that of a module of cells or an entire battery bank.
Presently, lead-acid batteries are the only type of battery that can be recycled within Australia. Recycling of lithium batteries is emerging. All other battery types need to be sent offshore for recycling. This situation may change with the increased uptake of battery technologies, technological advances, and new standards and environmental regulations.
More information on battery recycling can be found on Australian Battery Recycling Initiative's (ABRI) website (www.batteryrecycling.org.au).
How do I avoid incidents?
The best way to avoid an incident with your battery storage system is to be proactive. It is important to have an accredited installer install your battery system because that person will be familiar with relevant standards and building codes, and will ensure that the installation complies with the requirements. The system should be serviced every 12 months. You should also visually check your battery system once a month.
Keep a monthly maintenance checklist. At the time the system is installed, your accredited installer can show you how to do the monthly checks, and any other maintenance that needs to be performed.
Install relevant warning signage – including, in particular, the type of batteries installed. Also ensure that you have emergency and safety signage protocols, in case an incident does occur. The installer will supply you with installation and product manuals. As the consumer, it is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the content of the documents supplied to you by your accredited installer.
Keep the battery system tidy and clear of obstructions. Be particularly mindful of electrically conductive and flammable materials such as personal jewellery, watches, solvents or spray paint.
What happens if an incident occurs?
In the case of fire or an explosion of your battery storage system, please call 000 immediately (for Australia). For minor incidents, such as a fault alarm or a malfunction, the system should be serviced by your accredited installer.
How do I keep up with the latest technology?
The technology of batteries is always improving. It is important to revisit your installation design periodically, to make sure it is meeting your requirements. If you find your needs have changed or if you are interested in upgrading part or all of your system, please talk to your accredited installer.

The British general election will be held tomorrow. In search of comic relief from the domestic political scene, I have turned to the Daily Mail's account of shadow Labour home secretary Diane Abbott's latest "car-crash" interview (video below).
Having returned from her public absence following an earlier "car crash" interview last month, as well as a follow-up "car crash" interview about the "car crash" interview, Ms. Abbott gave an interview in which she seemed utterly clueless about Lord Harris's report on improving the response to terror in London, despite claiming she had read it (here I'm borrowing from the summary posted with the YouTube clip above).
Following Ms. Abbott's performance in the interview yesterday, Labour candidate for Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn "said his counter-terrorism chief was 'unwell' and would be temporarily replaced by Lyn Brown – a little-known politician who previously quit his frontbench complaining that his leadership was 'untenable.'" The Daily Mail adds: "Senior Labour figures said Ms Abbott had been 'diagnosed with a serious, long-term condition.' She tweeted this afternoon to thank supporters, saying she would 'rejoin the fray soon.'"
The Daily Mail helpfully explained that Ms. Abbott had struggled with questions posed by Sky News interviewer Dermot Murnaghan ("a long-standing ally of Mr Corbyn and one of his few cheerleaders in the parliamentary party") as she "left long pauses and struggled to give answers about the content of the Harris report."
What happened next? The Daily Mail reports:
In the wake of the meltdown, she pulled out of appearances on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour with just half-an-hour's notice.
The close Corbyn ally seemed to have made it to within striking distance of the BBC studios, however – with a photograph posted on Twitter showing her apparently on her phone at Oxford Circus Tube station at 8.40am.
As noted above, Labour depicts Ms. Abbott's condition as dire: "Shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner told LBC radio: 'I have been told that Diane has been diagnosed with a serious, long-term condition.'" I'm guessing that the condition is probably incurable.
One has to read deeply into into the story for the hilarious coda:
Ms Abbott came under fire yet again last night after being fooled by a prankster pretending to be a top party adviser in an email hoax.
She replied to a chain of emails that she thought were from party spin doctor Seumas Milne following her withdrawal from Woman's Hour.
But they were actually sent from a fake account set up by a joker in a bid to prank the politician.
* * * * *
Hoax artist @SINON_REBORN has previously tricked Bank of England governor Mark Carney and Barclays boss Jes Staley.
The 38-year-old prankster from Manchester posted screenshots of Abbott's replies – which appear to have been sent from her personal account.
In the emails the politician revealed private details about her health and said she was hesitant to tell "untruths" about it in the press.
The hoaxer told Abbott he had spoken to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the pair think she should "add some colour" to the illness which prevented her from taking part in the radio debate with Amber Rudd this morning.
He adds: "Flesh it out with some more detail if you will, perhaps also mention some medication which might be retrospectively seen as a mitigating reason for the Murnaghan interview."
Abbott's reply reads: "Do you still want to add colour to the illness story? If so maybe we should speak."
Ms Abbott allegedly replied later: "I'm not sure what colour I can add. I have always enjoyed good health until the last few years. And diabetes, in itself, would not stop me doing Woman's Hour. I am worried about telling untruths about my health which are easily disproved."
Whole thing here.
Quotable quote (Prime Minister Theresa May): "I just wish Diane a speedy recovery."
