When exhibiting at tradeshows and exhibitions, you need a way to set yourself apart from the crowd. Before your customers and prospects discover why your products are superior to your competitors', they need to discover you. One way of doing this is to invest in custom printed gazebos. Branded gazebos used for advertising purposes make for a powerful tool. Aside from being smart advertising tools, they can also practically serve your customers and employees, providing them with shelter from the sun, wind, and rain.
There are so many options available when it comes to choosing customised gazebos. Whether you need a small, square gazebo to announce your presence at the event, or a rectangular or hexagonal gazebo, it's all in the execution of the branding and printing. Since 1989, we've been branding South Africa. Our goal has always been to use only the finest raw materials to construct a range of branded fabric products.
We manufacture an extensive range of outdoor display items, from branded gazebos to exhibition systems, décor fabric frame tensioning systems, and customised clothing. Since our inception, we have worked with some of South Africa's largest businesses and many small to medium companies, helping them to carve out a place for them in a crowded marketplace.
Why Choose Us for Quality Printed Gazebos?
We operate out of a brand new 3250 m2 factory in Pretoria. With a team of 60 professionals on the job to run your product through the process, from design to dispatch, you know your printed gazebos will last for many years to come. All of our products can be custom-manufactured to suit your team colours or sponsor names.
Just take a look down the sales floor next to you at that tradeshow, and you're bound to see some Portable Shade products representing our superior workmanship and manufacturing capability. If you need an example of one of our printed gazebos, and what sets it apart from other products on the market, consider the following statistics of our 2,5 m Eco Shade, for example:
These are only a few of the statistics that make our 2,5 m Eco Shade stand out from the rest of the products available on the market today.

Drew Barrymore has "no contact" with her mother.
I'm sure I'm sadder about it than I admit, but I accept that it was a lot easier than my mother's and my relationship, which is more tumultuous.
The 'He's Just Not That Into You' star legally emancipated herself from her parents when she was 17 and has barely spoken to her mom Jaid since.
She said: "My mother and I split ways when I was very young and have never really reconciled."
Her relationship with her father - actor John Barrymore, who left before Drew was born and was absent for most of her childhood - was also difficult.
The 34-year-old actress made peace with him shortly before he died of bone cancer in 2004 but is still sad their relationship wasn't easier.
She told W magazine: "He was so feeble, I could actually nail him down. He was such a flighty bird - unattainable and off doing his own thing. I'm sure it's affected my relationships with men.
"I'm sure I'm sadder about it than I admit, but I accept that it was a lot easier than my mother's and my relationship, which is more tumultuous."
But despite her grief, Drew says her troubled childhood came in handy when she was filming upcoming movie 'Grey Gardens'.
Drew plays Edie, a devoted daughter who gives up her life as a socialite to live in squalor with her mother.
She said: "I was excited to bring my own pain to something. I mean, contrary to my happy-go-luckiness, I have so much darkness in there.
"I got institutionalised as a kid, and I felt like I was back there. A lot of times I found myself unhappy and isolated, and the only other time I felt that way was when I was in there."

Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of Loralyn Boudreaux (age 34) of Thibodaux on Thursday, September 24. At around 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, deputies were responding to an unrelated complaint in the 100 block of Waverly Road in Thibodaux when a woman approached them, frantically screaming about a homicide that had allegedly just taken place. The woman also stated the suspect and victim were still inside the residence. Deputies immediately proceeded inside the residence but did not locate any other subjects. As the deputies went inside, the woman, later identified as Loralyn Boudreaux, slipped into the deputies' patrol car and drove away from the location at a high rate of speed. Deputies tracked the vehicle to a residence on Asphondel Drive in Thibodaux approximately 1.5 miles from the Waverly Road residence. Upon arrival to Asphondel Drive, deputies discovered Boudreaux had abandoned the patrol car and was involved in a verbal altercation with a male subject outside the residence. While attempting to apprehend Boudreaux, she began resisting, and at one point, she struck a deputy in the face with her fist. She was eventually taken into custody.
Back at the Waverly Road residence, deputies noticed firearms and drug paraphernalia in plain view and obtained a search warrant to further investigate. During a subsequent search of the residence, deputies discovered a small bag containing suspected methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and several firearms.
Boudreaux was booked into the Lafourche Parish Detention Center on charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Illegal Carrying of a Weapon in the Presence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Felony Unauthorized Use of a Movable, Resisting an Officer with Force or Violence, and Reckless Operation. Her bond was set at $32,000.

As a fan of the SOCOM series, SOCOM: Confrontation has long been one of my most anticipated PS3 titles. Though the game got pushed back to October 18, there is some good news to be had for those anxious to get some time with the title. Sony has released some new information about the game, including bundle pricing and a start date of September 1 for the beta.
Much like Warhawk, SOCOM will be shipping in three different ways. The main $59.99 bundle will include a copy of the game and the official Sony headset as well as some bonus content in the form of exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, while a standalone disc version of the game will be priced to match the PSN downloadable version at $39.99.
As for the beta, players can gain access either by purchasing the first issue of Qore or pre-ordering the game at GameStop. The beta is scheduled to run from September 1 to September 30. Those who pre-ordered the game will be able to start playing from day one—and will also receive codes to invite two of their friends—while Qore players will have to wait until September 8.

Yesterday was probably the best day of this whole cleanse. I had soooo much energy I got accused of relapsing and hitting the espresso by more than one person. I was literally pinging off the walls. My mood was fabulous. Couldnt find anyone to go out with last night, so I went out by myself for some karaoke and was nabbed as soon as I walked in the door and complimented about my great smile and personality. I just felt great! I really believe since I started with the lower bowel tonic and am starting to be more regular and cleanse more effectively, my body has improved by leaps and bounds. Oh, and I can BREATHE! December was such a congested month for me, it seemed like my nose was always stuffed up. This I blame on the 1-2 dairy drinks I had a week. That should be a public service announcement or something. YOU CAN CRAP UP YOUR BODY WITH DAIRY SOOOO EASILY! I dont ever want to feel like that again. I am empowered now, the transformation over the past 25 days is just insane. Totally a different person in this body, and I'm going to be fiercely protective of this new me!
Oh, and another realization….this whole time, I didnt chew a single piece of gum. Amazing for me, right? My hubby always says I should have stock in Dentene Ice gum because of how many packs I go through in a week. I was reading something about the chewing action getting the digestive juices going and sparking digestion, so I decided to try it without. I think its really made a HUGE difference. I dont have the massive desire to chew something, like a lot of folks do. I dont have to deal with the bloat from excess air that chewing gum causes. And my digestive system has truly gotten to REST, most importantly. Yay!

We pride ourselves in adhering to our appointment schedules; we allow plenty of time for our patient's treatment needs, and do not double book.

If you cannot keep a scheduled appointment or will be delayed, please call as soon as possible so we can accommodate other patients. We do not charge for missed appointments, unless it becomes habitual.

The buildings complex where the Munipality of Guimarães now built the Center for Advanced Postgraduate Formation for the University of Minho, is located in the "Zona de Couros" (Leathers Zone), and relates to the rest area by a set of small alleys and paths that, following the existing small river, constitute the road structure in the area.
The image of "Zona de Couros" is characterized by abandoned or transformed buildings but also memories, sometimes imaginary and subjective, that people developed from the fragments which have reached our days. From those fragments we can retain the treatment leathers tanks we can find a bit all over this area, the buildings and structures in wood and naturally the small river that was the reason for the installation of this activity (treatment of leathers) in this area.
It mattered since the begining of the project process the building location in "Zona de Couros", an area that suffered some urban segregation from the adjacent walled core of the historic center of Guimarães, but sedimented a rich and autonomous solutions and constructions of industrial buildings that together have an undeniable architectural interest, and immediately provided some themes for reflection and development.

by Joan Kiley
July began with Mercury retrograde, plus a preview of a configuration we will see evidence of throughout the entire month. It is a rather rare event called an outer planet grand trine (or equilateral triangle) in water signs. The planets involved are Jupiter, just 1 degree into Cancer at month's onset, Saturn retrograde in early Scorpio, and Neptune retrograde in early Pisces. They were loosely trined on July 1, but become nearly exact at just under 5 degrees July 17, and remain in orb all this month and into August.
What might we expect of such a configuration? The trine aspect itself is a 120-degree angle, the circle divided by 3. Symbolically, the number 3 suggests a harmonizing of opposites, the bringing about of resolution or compromise. Thus, the trine is often looked at as an easeful aspect, particularly when the planets in question are in the same element. With a grand trine in water, obviously the element is the same for all the planets. The difficulty of bringing the character of the planets themselves into harmony, however, cannot be underestimated. Therefore an assumption of "all will be harmonious" is naïve indeed, particularly when we still have the active Pluto/Uranus square keeping things on edge. And don't forget Mercury retrograde, as an added bonus!
Jupiter is expansive; Saturn is conservative. Neptune is boundless; Saturn is boundaries. Neptune is spiritual, and Jupiter can be religious; yet Saturn is much more mundane, representing government, military control, status quo, and maintaining the established order of things. If we think of global news at the moment, we see huge religiously oriented battlefronts all over the world: 1) the religious zealots battling against the rights of women in state and federal governments in the U.S.; 2) Egyptians protesting for the removal of a president who wants an Islamist state while they wish for a secular democracy and the military saying they will back the people; 3) the Taliban, an extremist religious/military group in Afghanistan, pushing for the capacity to "talk" with the US about what happens when the U.S. departs; and 4) protests in Turkey, which came about for many reasons, not the least of which was the government's disrespect for human rights and secularism.
Could this grand trine of July actual bring about some peace and harmony on any of these fronts? Or at least some easing of conflict, some improvement of understanding between fractious parties? Possibly, but more likely we'll be in for some surprises. The same can be expected for individuals on a personal level. We could experience some parts of ourselves and/or our lives coming together unexpectedly. We could see some relief from stressful conditions, or an opening in what we thought was an implacable situation. The key is to feel into our own positions, honor the heart's desire, be sure we are being true to ourselves in a given situation, and then be open to unpredictable consequences.
As this trine began, it also happens that Venus in Leo was simultaneously approaching a trine to Uranus, and moving away from a square to Saturn. Venus in Leo does want attention for bringing parties together, and with Uranus in the mix, there could be unpredictability. It is good to expect …and welcome…the unexpected! If we can just keep in mind that change is really all that is predictable, we'll be ahead of the game.
Just hours before the New Moon, at 10:12 PM PDT on July 7, Saturn stationed direct. This means that Saturn will now move ahead faster than it has for some months. Then we have the New Moon in Cancer, 12:14 AM PDT on July 8. The Sun and Moon are in waning squares to Uranus, and waning oppositions to Pluto, forming a T-square. Venus exactly trines Uranus. This tells me we cannot ignore the Uranian energy in Aries in these weeks, despite the emphasis on water signs. We could find ourselves in a somewhat confused space, slightly overwhelmed, and agitated, with all of the feelings flowing through us.
A New Moon is always the time to dream, to vision what it is that we want to manifest for our future. And this is a powerful New Moon! Cancer is a cardinal sign, which emphasizes new beginnings. It is ruled by the Moon, so a New Moon in Cancer is a particularly important one to honor within this dark-of-the-moon 24-hour time period.
Don't be limited by what you have already experienced, while imagining your future. Dream the impossible dream! And think of it as a direction to move toward, not necessarily as a final destination. As Thich Nhat Hanh said in "Being Peace": If I lose my direction, I have to look for the North Star, and I go to the north. That does not mean I expect to arrive at the North Star. I just want to go in that direction."
On July 9th, Venus remains important, as she squares the Moon's nodes, and the Moon joins her in Leo. This configuration may have us dwelling on the past, or more likely, musing on the future, and wondering what our particular role might be in creating it. This would be especially so if we did our visioning homework on the New Moon.
On July 12, a Virgo Moon forms a kite formation out of the water grand trine, by opposing Neptune and sextiling both Scorpio and Jupiter. Retrograde Mercury is square the Moon's nodes. It will be a good day for information to flow with intent to improve things from what they are. Take time to jot down ideas for amending current projects, letting go of feelings, or changing behaviors that may have inhibited your forward progress.
On July 14, the Moon in Libra touches off a grand square in cardinal signs, with Jupiter and retrograde Mercury in Cancer, Uranus in Aries, and Pluto in Capricorn. It isn't a strong square, but we may feel frustrated with the need to make progress and being powerless over obstacles in our way. Mars entrance into Cancer increases our agitation. A day for patience, and taking care not to indulge in negative self-judgment.
As the Moon shifts into Scorpio on July 16, and conjoins Saturn, and Mars conjoins Jupiter in Cancer, it puts a total of 6 planets into the water grand trine. That's a lot of water energy, especially since Mercury and the Sun remain in Cancer as well. Take a swim anyone? I'm not sure what else could provide us enough comfort for all of that emotional energy flowing in the universe, of which we are indeed a part.
During the Moon's journey through Scorpio, it will trine retrograde Mercury and also the Sun. We may long for deep connection yet feel strangely isolated. Stay with your feelings as you are able. There is truly nowhere to run. Spending time at the ocean, along a stream, or just at the local pool may help. Don't be surprised at an unusual level of sensitivity on the part of friends, co-workers, or strangers you meet on the subway. This is a significant period for all of us to wade through, and we are truly in it together.
By July 18, retrograde Pluto will be opposing retrograde Mercury, Jupiter and Mars. This is definitely a configuration reflecting the clash of extremist religious views, and possible violence associated with it. One might hope that the stationing Mercury, plus the water trine could mitigate such clashes, have those involved be re-evaluating their positions. However, we can't count on it. We can only work on the clashing positions within ourselves.
Mercury stations direct at 11:23 AM PDT on July 20 at 13 degrees Cancer. It will remain in its shadow, retracing its steps, until August 3, at which time it will once again reach the degree it was in when it went retrograde. We may find ourselves going over in our minds some of the same territory we explored during the past three weeks. May you be pleased with decisions you made and/or behavior you altered.
On July 22, the Sun shifts into Leo, and is followed immediately by the Moon moving to Aquarius, bringing about a Full Moon at 11:16 AM PDT at 0 degrees Aquarius. On the same day, Venus moves into Virgo. This means we have 8 of the nine bodies in our solar system in the first 10 degrees of signs, and the tenth body, Uranus, at 12 degrees. The Moon's nodes, and Chiron are all at 13 degrees. This feels strongly like a birthing process of a new consciousness, as if something truly significant is evolving in us, in our universe, at this time. Newness can be awkward, and look more like devolvement than positive change.
Venus will immediately begin to oppose Neptune, and within days a new kite formation develops with the water grand trine. Venus in Virgo searches for perfection in relationships, in work, in service to others. A connection to Neptune can encourage us to believe we've either found Nirvana or will never have hope of finding it. Try to remain realistic while still believing in manifesting the best of yourself.
July 25th finds the Moon in Pisces, accenting the Venus/Neptune opposition, and bringing the feminine archetypes together. During this intense watery period, consider invoking Yemaya, the Yoruba Orisha, or Goddess of the living Ocean. She is considered the source of all the waters, and the waters being the source of all life, she is the mother of all. Strong and protective, she cares deeply for all of Her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow. Even if it's not your style to imagine goddesses, give Yemaya a try. She is easy to bring to mind, and if you allow access, she can bring you great peace and comfort during these confusing times.
The final week of the month we find the Sun in strong square with Saturn and quincunx Pluto. On July 29, the Moon in Taurus opposes Saturn and squares the Sun in a fixed T-square. This could reflect a change toward stability in volatile or shaky circumstances. It could also make determined foes even more determined. Think tense, edgy, a need for adjustment. The scores of aspects are reflective of almost infinite possibilities. The chart for mid-day is extremely complex. There are no planets without multiple aspects. Things ease up a bit for the final two days of the month, but we'll be starting August with the Leo Sun still standing alone in its own sign.
Stay cool! See you in August!

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Embry-Riddle Department of Applied Aviation Sciences/Applied Meteorology Program faculty members Dr. Dorothea Ivanova and Dr. Michael Kaplan have been awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) funding of up to $102,000 over the next three years to study wildfires and other climate events in collaboration with researchers at North Carolina A&T University.
"Not only do fuel moisture content, fuel loading and topography play a role on wildfire spread and behavior, but the wind plays a significant role," said Dr. Curtis James, Department Chair of Applied Aviation Sciences and Professor of Meteorology at Embry-Riddle's Prescott campus. "This grant will shed light on these mechanisms, helping to improve fire weather forecasting and hopefully mitigating loss of life and property."
Several historical wildfires, including the devastating Yarnell Hill fire of 2013, will be studied in order to learn how certain large-scale atmospheric conditions can influence windstorms that affect the spread and intensity of wildfires throughout the Southwest.
"This research project hits home to the Prescott Quad City area in light of the devastating impacts that the Yarnell Hill fire had on our community," said James. "There have been a number of other recent fires affecting the area in the past two decades. Wildfires are probably the most likely natural disaster that we face here in Prescott."
This is the first research grant awarded by the NSF to Embry-Riddle's Department of Applied Aviation Sciences.
"This grant represents a first step to other research grant proposals in the works," said James. "We are thrilled with this opportunity to utilize the expertise of two of our faculty to investigate a relevant and important current topic in the field of meteorology."
Media Contact: Jason Kadah, Communications Director, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Ariz.; (928) 777-6731; email@example.com.

Make sure that there is no clutter. You can move the trash bins and bikes at the back of your house. If you have more space to store them in your garage then you may do so. If you want more space in your garage, you can seek the garage door service.
You may also paint it. Based on your budget and material, it is worth to add some fresh coat of paint.
You must repair the part of the house that needs it. You should fix the downed gutters or loose siding or shingles. You may do this yourself so that you will no longer hire a professional and you can save money.
You may also enhance the landscape of the house. You can spice up your yard especially if you have your own landscaping tools. This is simple and less expensive. By trimming the trees, bushes, shrubs, and lawn, it would appear clean. You may plant low maintenance plants and flowers. When you hang flower baskets in the front porch will bring warm and welcoming effect to the house.
You may repair, repaint, or replace the door depending on its condition. For your garage door, you can ask any garage door service for help. Do not forget that your garage door represents mostly of your home value and curb appeal. If your garage door is old and worn then you can replace it by availing the garage door service. This will definitely increase your home value and curb appeal. It is a big improvement when you replace the garage door even if it is expensive. You may ask the total cost from any garage door service.
What you can do for your roof is to repair or replace any missing shingles. You must hire a roof cleaner to remove any algae growth. An unpleasant room can make a bad impression to potential homebuyers.
You can also increase the value of your home by updating the kitchen and bathroom. You may change the cabinet pulls, knobs, and handles in your kitchen and bathroom cabinet so that they will look new. Lastly, it is also helpful when you repaint the interior part of the house.

This is a very text-y post! I'm sorry…
The biggest problem I'm having here in Japan is remembering people's names. I'm approached many times a day by people, who greet me with spirited "Hey, Colin!", or a "Hello Colin". I don't actually have a problem with these comments, though the problem is that, frankly, I don't know who most of the people are. And many of the ones I do know I can't remember the names of. Which results in me saying awkward things like "Hey, you!" or a weird-sounding burst of "Hello!". Which makes me feel really bad. It's been about two weeks now that I've been in school, and I can count on my fingers the number of people who's names I know. I don't even know the names of some of the people who come up to me and talk with me everyday, which makes me feel bad and I feel like I'm at a point that I've talked to them so much that popping a "Hey- What's your name again?" would destroy all liking they perhaps had of me.
Though, perhaps the weirder thing about the whole situation is that I do know random factoids about pretty much everyone in my classroom (just not their names). They'll introduce each other by saying things like "This kid here likes to steal porn. If you bring any to school, don't tell him." or "This kid is very lazy. He only left his house like 2 times over summer break and stayed inside and played video games." They just don't introduce themselves like they do in the US.
And the unfortunate thing about the factoids is that it still doesn't leave me with something to call them. I feel like "Hey, porn thief!" or "Hey, lonely!" wouldn't exactly make them like me.
Plus, I don't know how to say "Porn thief" or "Lonely" in Japanese.
On a side note, blackboards actually scare me and are making me very obsessive compulsive. I don't mean that in a lame, exaggerated way, but they actually do. All I can do when I see the remaining chalk dust on the board in a weird, not-organized erase is think about the taste of chalk in my mouth and suffocating in a cloud of chalk dust and how I want to attack the board with some 409 and a squeegee.
I actually took the time to erase the board the other day in a neat fashion, erasing in lines and erasing every part of the chalkboard evenly, even the parts that didn't have chalk on them.
I miiiiiiiiiiss you

Bridging the Gap between IFRS 17 and IFRS 9
As insurers begin to understand the implications of implementing IFRS 17, a key consideration is the interrelationships between IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 and how these can be maximised to their advantage. Key takeouts from this report IFRS 17, the new Insurance Standard focusing on insurance liability reporting, will have far-reaching consequences for an insurer in terms of modelling, data, processes and systems; ultimately resulting in a fundamentally different statement of comprehensive income and more onerous disclosure requirements. However, as insurers contemplate the expected impact of the Standard, they need to be aware of the interrelationship with the Financial Instruments Standard – IFRS 9 – which impacts the valuation of insurers' assets for accounting purposes. The synergy between IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 needs to be considered in terms of: the changes required by the two Standards; and the complications arising from having two separate effective dates that may be…

"Oh, he's going in for politics, I guess…he acts that way, affable and agreeable to everybody." –Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little Town On The Prairie
Right now, political fever is running high in our household. Animated conversations on the news of the day run rampant around the dinner table, and little pitchers with big ears and bigger mouths are listening and asking questions.
While I certainly feel comfortable speaking my mind freely amongst friends and family, there's always the risk of misunderstanding, and I also want to be careful to model productive methods of discourse in front of children. We don't condone sarcastic put-downs or dismissive rudeness in our speech to each other, but I've caught myself exhibiting a bit of snarkiness when discussing parties not present; so when I occasionally let slip an unguarded word or two about the Crazies Out There, I'll have to stop to give a brief lecture on How We Do Things.
In the wider world, judging from the conversations I "overhear" online and even in person, this topic deserves a revisit. Of course election season can provoke strong opinions and emotions, and has the potential to bring out the worst in everyone; but even if common civility isn't always enough to rein in some of those fiery passions, common sense ought to be.
I certainly admire passion and a spirited defense of one's deeply held beliefs. But there's a wide gulf between simply defending a position and winning someone over to that position. I'd like my children to grow up and become clear-thinking adults who not only can form good opinions, but also are competent enough to be good ambassadors for their ideas.
So I point out that standing up for what you think is all well and good, but not if you push someone else down in the process. While it may be briefly satisfying to vent your frustrations over a disagreement, in the form of a sarcastic put-down or vituperative tongue-lashing, the ultimate vindication would be to actually win the other person over to your point of view.
When I catch an argument between my children escalating into an angry altercation, I try to step in and ask, "What is your goal here? Are you trying to make her angry, or do you want her to agree with you?" While my children are typically honest enough to admit it when they, being angry, don't care if they make the other person angry in return, I expect them—with proper coaching—eventually to learn the prudence of not burning your bridges.
There's an excellent passage in Scripture that is my guide in dealing with conflict:
"But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition…" (II Timothy 2:23-25a)
This verse refers to winning people over to the message of the Gospel, but I quote it to the children frequently as a guide for how to persuade others respectfully into agreement. And I quote it to myself when I need to be reminded of my gold standard for political discourse.
Or, to put it another way, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
