By admin September 3rd, 2010, under Uncategorized

At midday, cover your ears-the firing of the noonday gun is a Halifax tradition dating from the late 1800s.

From atop Citadel Hill, there is an excellent view of one of the city’s most famous landmarks, the Town Clock, which was constructed in 1803 upon the request of Prince Edward, a man renowned for his love of punctuality. Beyond the clock the view encompasses the most historic part of Halifax, which for much of the 18th and 19th centuries was a lusty, brawling military town full of soldiers, sailors, privateers and adventurers seeking their fortune in the new world.

After leaving the Citadel, crossing the harbour on the ferry is a wonderful way to view the beautiful waterfronts of both cities. Visit the restored Historic Quaker House, the oldest house in Dartmouth. The Shubenacadie Canal Park invites nature lovers to stroll quiet paths along the Shubenacadie Canal, the ambitious canal system that once linked Halifax with the Bay of Fundy.

Back in Halifax again, you’ll find the city has many parks, perhaps the best, certainly the best known is the Halifax Public Gardens, a 17-acre tribute to Victorian elegance and beauty.

On day 7 you

By admin September 3rd, 2010, under Uncategorized

On day 7 you sell the inventory and generate an accounts receivable, which your buyer will pay for in 30 days. What is your conversion cycle in the case? 7 days, not as good. You now have 7 days in your cycle during which you have repaid your supplier but will not receive payment for another 7 days from your buyer. You either need extra cash on hand or a credit line to support you for those 7 days.

What does this mean in terms of cash flow and your bottom line? If you have $1 million in annual sales and your receivables are outstanding an average of 60 days, that means you have $164,383 in outstanding receivables.

If you choose to promote a website, promote YOUR website, not someone else?s. If you are building a list, build your own list, don?t build one for someone else that you can mail. If you want to own a marketing system, build your own.

Does this mean you cannot promote someone else?s product or system from time to time? Of course not. But promote it to YOUR list. Or what about using someone else?s marketing system when you are first getting started? Sure, but do it to get started, knowing that on down the road, you will have your own.

Build your own website, and send traffic through it first–never send traffic directly to an affiliate site.

For example if

By admin September 3rd, 2010, under Uncategorized

For example if you are a web design firm you might want to include your website address in the top center of the letterhead right under your logo or even included in your logo. However if you specialize in hand crafted soaps then the website might not be a big deal for your company and would be better left off.

Space

With all of the important information above it is also important to take into consideration the issue of space. A letterhead usually doesn?t allow for much space and if you crowd everything in just to include it then the design will look overcrowded and unprofessional. Typically the more space you can leave the more impact your cards will have. So if you can leave off some of the elements above that can always work to leave more space. Also some of the items that are less important can be included at the bottom of the page also.

As you can see working with a professional letterhead designer can really be worth its weight in gold.

If you?re prepared, though,

By admin September 3rd, 2010, under Uncategorized

If you?re prepared, though, then it won?t be so easy for little hiccups to ruin your holiday, so have a little read through this survival guide before you set off.

A very important point is to take something with you that you can do if your flight is delayed, or you have to wait around for a long time for some other reason ? whether it?s a book, a newspaper, a Game Boy, or a whole load of Sudoku puzzles, just make sure that you?re not caught with nothing to do and nowhere to go, as there are few things worse. If you have kids, make sure to bring a selection of things to entertain them with, as if you only bring one they are likely to get bored of it very quickly.

Another piece of advice is to travel light ? dragging around heavy suitcases will just annoy you at the start of your holiday.

The lotus flower

By admin September 3rd, 2010, under Uncategorized

The lotus flower is a Buddhist symbol of enlightenment. It is the biggest in traditional Chinese style built temple in Europe.

Queen Beatrix has been an ardent supporter of Buddhism. It has been a unique event for Buddhism all the world over as the queen has been the first statesman ever, who supported Buddhism in public. As most of the big cities, Amsterdam has its China town too. Along the Zeedijk one will find lots of Chinese restaurants, takeaways, oriental shops and the Fo Guang Shan He Hua temple is the biggest Buddhist temple in Europe that is built in the traditional style.

The area has been labeled as Chinatown; however it is a misnomer of course, because the area includes numerous Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian restaurants, shops, salons, apothecaries, markets and more. The reconstruction of many fa?ades, and the repaving of the streets, and the district has been metamorphosed from seedy to inviting. The Oriental Supermarket facing the Nieuwmarkt is just one of the success stories in the area. The number of good quality Thai restaurants has not just tourists, but locals flocking in to feast on Tom Yam soup and Phad Thai.

Straws will be a lifeline for flood victims

Straws will be a lifeline for flood victims

0 Comments | Nottingham Evening Post, Sep 1, 2010 | by Claire Carter

THOUSANDS of straws that will enable families in Pakistan to drink clean, safe water for months are due to arrive in the country tomorrow.

Midlands Doctors’ Association, (MDAUK) which includes Nottingham GP Safiy Karim and Dr Asrar Rashid, consultant paediatrician at the QMC, has ordered 2,500 LifeStraws to be sent to parts of Pakistan devastated by recent floods.

The rain has left thousands of people homeless and without food or shelter, living in tents full of mud.

The LifeStraws have a special filter inside them which gets rid of bacteria in the water so it can be drunk safely. This prevents the spread of diseases like diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid, and cholera.

The charity has ordered family-size LifeStraws which should last a family between three and four months.

Not only is MDAUK one of the first charities to get the LifeStraws out to Pakistan, it is believed to be the first charity to translate the instructions into Urdu and Pushto so they can be used by local people.

“The biggest problem is the spread of disease,” said Dr Rashid. “The most important aspect of these straws is providing the ability to quench the thirst of children and families, protecting them from the epidemic of infection and disease.”

The straws were sourced from Vietnam and are being delivered to Sindh which is one of the areas worst affected by the floods since the waters spread south.

“If we can get people through this initial phase then we can start looking at water access,” added Dr Rashid.

“Then we need to look at digging wells.

“The water has gone south now and that’s where the issue really is, that’s where the straws will be utilised at this point. But we would like to get more.”

The family-sized LifeStraws usually cost about Pounds 25 each but MDAUK managed to get the 2,500 for Pounds 5,000 from Life Box, which produces them.

MDAUK is a small charity made up of doctors and volunteers that has enlisted the help of local people in Pakistan so they can get to some of the places worst hit and isolated by the floods.

The charity has also been collecting food to be sent out to Pakistan and has been supported locally. On Monday volunteers helped pack bags of food with Dr Rashid and his wife at their home in Dunkirk, to be sent out to Pakistan.

The charity has also had a recent boost with a donation of $100,000 from the Bank of America Merril Lynch.

Dr Rashid said 70% of this money would be used for the flood relief effort and 30% for MDAUK’s project to build a permanent hospital.

MDAUK was initially formed in 2005 after doctors decided a hospital needed to be set up in the wake of the Pakistan earthquake.

But after the floods hit the charity decided it needed to postpone the hospital project and use the skills of its doctors and volunteers to offer immediate help.

Dr Rashid added: “We’ve got through the initial phase of access to people and treatment of illness and hunger. We are treating life- threatening illnesses.

“The next thing we are doing is where we’ve been operating, looking at projects in the medium term like structural problems

He figured he need to buy his own expedition cruise ship and started looking for suitable vessels. In April of 2004 he found the “Explorer”, a historic expedition ship with a capacity of 112 passengers and a crew of 60 people. The ship had been docked in Genoa, Italy, for many months due to the financial problems of its owners. Just another 2 months later, but after many complications, G.A.P took possession of the ship. Only another 4 months later, after extensive restorations, the Explorer went on its inaugural journey and today offers expedition cruises to such unique places as Antarctica, the Amazon, Spitzbergen, and Greenland. (Incidentally, G.A.P. has agreed to sponsor our first Travel Story Contest and the grand prize winner of our contest will win an exciting adventure cruise on the Amazon in the Explorer – all thanks to G.A.P.
