Feng shui has gained much popularity – even in the United States.

Feng shui is the ancient art of arrangement and color usage that is presumed to promote balance and the flow of energy in a given space.

Even if you don t believe in the philosophy of feng shui, ARWplying some of the basic principles of this practice to your home office can help you operate your virtual corporation more efficiently and may make it a pleasant place to spend the better part of your day.

Following are some quick feng shui tips tailored to the home office space, but you can ARWply these techniques to any office.

Location
Situate your home office as close to the front door of your house as possible. If you can avoid it, do not locate your office in the basement the first floor or higher is preferable, because energy flows upward. Basement offices can be painted white, with bright lighting and a fan installed to promote energy flow (or just to make you feel hARWpier).

Desk placement
Position your desk so that you are facing the entrance to the room, with your back toward the wall or a corner. Even outside of feng shui considerations, sitting with your back to the door is disruptive because you won t know who is coming in to the room. If there are windows in your office room, try to place your desk so the window is to your left if you re right-handed, and to your right if you re left-handed. Never position your desk in the center of the room.

Color scheme
Feng shui recommendations for color in the home office vary according to your company s goals. If your business relies on selling or making deals, the aggressive red is a good choice. Yellow promotes discipline and stimulates mental activity and clarity of thought a solid color scheme for any home office. Warm colors such as orange and tan represent collaboration and cooperation. This is an excellent option for offices with more than one team member. For writing and other creative business endeavors, consider blue-green, which is soothing and promotes creativity.

Bathroom vanities come in a huge choice of sizes, styles and finishes, and offer a multitude of options when it comes to giving a bathroom an instant makeover. If your bathroom’s looking a bit outdated or could do with a fresh new image, then fitting a new vanity unit could transform its appearance and revitalize the look and feel of the whole room. Bathroom vanities are easy enough to install in a day, so your bathroom makeover can be quick and hassle-free!

Bathroom sink vanities come in a wide variety of designs. There are those with decorative accents and intricate features in an antique style that’s perfect for blending with rustic or period bathroom d cor. In contrast, contemporary bathroom vanities with a sleek, modern appearance can look great in a new home. Aesthetics aside, remember that your vanity is going to be used on a daily basis, so it must be able to stand up to splashes and spills. In particular, look for a durable, water-resistant and easy to clean vanity top.

Another practicality to consider is how much storage space you’ll need. Most bathroom vanity cabinets come with a combination of storage options, with both large cabinet compartments and smaller makeup drawers, allowing easy access to all kinds of accessories. If your old countertop is cluttered up with toiletries and cosmetics, buying a new vanity with a built in bathroom cabinet is a good opportunity to have a tidy up and clear your surfaces. This alone can instantly freshen up the appearance of a bathroom!

Bath vanities can often be purchased with matching accessories, such as mirrors and lights. Fitting a new vanity unit gives you a chance to fully coordinate your bathroom’s look. Attention to details such as the finish and style of your faucets, cabinet and drawer handles, can make a big difference to the end result. A well-chosen bathroom vanity can work wonders at bringing a touch of elegance and luxury to any bathroom.

DPC Reducing the amount of solids and grease through Grease Traps

For the best Construction Cork company, call DPC Construction Cork.

Proper cleaning and maintenance of the grease trap and drain line reduces the amount of solids and grease going into the public sewer system and minimizes the likelihood of back-ups or blockages.

To find the best Construction Cork company, click here for DPC Construction Cork.
Grease traps/grease interceptors are typically reservoirs, which vary in size, built into a discharge piping system a short distance from the grease producing area. Baffles in the traps slow the wastewater flow and reduce turbulence allowing the grease and water to separate. Grease naturally rises to the surface, and the trap retains the grease while allowing grease-free wastewater to flow into the sewer system. Grease must be removed from the trap periodically.

Grease Trap is basically a device that captures grease entering a system before it reaches the sewer lines. Usually used in commercial applications such as restaurants or cafeterias.

Grease traps capture the oil and grease from the flow of wastewater by slowing down the flow of hot greasy water through the grease trap (actually a tank) and allowing it to cool. As it cools, the grease and oil separate out of the water and float to the top of the trap. The cooler water continues to flow down the drain pipe to the sewer while baffles prevent the accumulated grease and oil from flowing out of the grease trap. The size of the grease trap depends largely on how much waste your business produces and how often you perform trap maintenance.

Grease traps may be located inside or outside of the building. Traps that are located inside the building tend to be smaller and require more frequent maintenance. Traps that are located outside the building tend to be larger and may be less disruptive to maintain. Outside grease traps will operate differently in winter versus summer and are more prone to clogging during cold weather. As a business owner/manager, you should know where the grease trap, drain lines, and clean-outs are located at your restaurant.

Proper cleaning and maintenance of the grease trap and drain line reduces the amount of solids and grease going into the public sewer system and minimizes the likelihood of back-ups or blockages. Some sanitation districts and/or municipalities require grease traps and periodic maintenance and inspections for specified businesses. This is because untrapped oil and grease in the wastewater decreases pipe capacity over time and eventually will cause the pipe to clog. Piping systems without grease traps need to be cleaned more often and some piping may have to be replaced sooner than otherwise expected. Excessive grease sent to the wastewater treatment plant can also overload their system and cause the facility to exceed its allowable discharge limits. Running extremely hot water down the drain only moves the problem down stream, and may only make it worse.

Fixing a sewer line blockage can be expensive, both in terms of potentially lost customers and repair cost. If the pipe clog is within your building sewer line, you will be responsible for fixing the problem and paying all costs. If the clog is in the public sewer line, but can be traced to your restaurant, you will be liable for paying all or a portion of the repair costs. Accumulating the oil and grease close to the source in a properly maintained grease trap is the most cost-effective way.

If you are thinking about changing your shower you may well have looked around a few bathroom shops and been surprised by the number of choices you have. Even choosing a shower valve can be a confusing business so here’s a guide to tell you what is what when it comes to showers.

Manual Shower Valves
This is the most basic type of shower. Most manual showers have a single lever control that you use to control the flow of the water and the temperature. They are very simple to use and usually are not expensive.

Thermostatic Shower Valves
The great advantage of a thermostatic shower valve is that it can provide a constant, even temperature and cope with fluctuations in the flow and temperature of the hot and cold water feeds. Most thermostatic valves have extra anti-scald safety features and will cut off the flow of water if the cold water supply fails.

Concealed and Exposed Valves
Concealed / Exposed refers to the way the shower valve is mounted on the wall. A concealed shower valve is built into the shower wall so that most of the valve is hidden and only the control levers are visible. An exposed valve is mounted onto the shower wall so that the whole mechanism is visible. Many shower valves can be mounted either exposed or concealed.

Twin Shower Valves
Unlike a single lever valve, a twin valve has two controls, one control for the rate of water flow and a second control for the water temperature.

Triple Shower Valves
A triple valve has three controls; one for the water flow, one for the temperature and a third which is usually a diverter. The diverter is useful if you have two shower heads. It’s becoming more common to have a fixed shower head above the shower and a hand-held shower head as well. The diverter on a triple shower valve allows you to select which shower head water is fed to.

Sequential Shower Valves
This is one we get a lot of questions about. A sequential valve has a single lever that works rather like the knob on your cooker. When the lever is fully anti-clockwise the shower is off. As you rotate the lever it turns the shower turns on. With a sequential valve “on” means fully on so you have full pressure straight away. As you rotate the lever further you increase the temperature of the water.

Shower Panels
A recent newcomer is the shower panel or shower tower. This is a single unit that contains everything you need for a sensational shower. Specifications vary but usually include a shower valve (often thermostatic), a diverter, a fixed shower head, a hand held shower and several body jets. Shower panels are easy to install but can require quite high water pressure to work well so you may want to install a shower pump as well.

Customized Showers
These days, shower components are standardized enough that you can pretty much pick and choose the parts you want to create the shower of your dreams. You can choose from hundreds of shower valves, diverters and stop valves, have multiple heads, ceiling mounted heads, riser rails, rigid risers or body jets to build exactly the shower you want, individual and customized to your own needs. After all, how else will you get a shower with 16 jets and a 12 inch shower heads?

Electric Showers
Electric showers heat the water as it passes through the shower so they only need a cold water supply so you have simpler plumbing and don’t need any hot water to run them. Electric showers are particularly popular in en-suites.

Power Showers
A power shower is basically a shower with a built in pump. A power shower needs both hot and cold water supplies. A power shower does not heat the water; it pumps water through and increased water pressure, giving you a stronger shower. Power showers are ideal where you have low water pressure, perhaps in a bungalow.

So there you have it. Not quite everything you need to know about showers, but a good start!

The kitchen is the heart of a family s house. It is in this room that a family prepares meals, shares meals, and gathers to talk about the day. This is the room where guests gather, where friends play games around the kitchen table, and where parents might relish a quiet time at the end of the day. It is also one of the leading locations for a household fire, an accident, or germs that breed food-borne illness. Every householder needs to be aware of the issue of kitchen safety.

The kitchen is the heart of a family s house. It is in this room that a family prepares meals, shares meals, and gathers to talk about the day. This is the room where guests gather, where friends play games around the kitchen table, and where parents might relish a quiet time at the end of the day. It is also one of the leading locations for a household fire, an accident, or germs that breed food-borne illness. Every householder needs to be aware of the issue of kitchen safety.

Many homemakers ignore the regular cleaning and maintenance of kitchen appliances, preferring to cover dirty burners or toasters to give a false sense of cleanliness, but allowing crumbs and greasy residue to accumulate on these surfaces. Others hate cleaning their ovens with a passion reserved for little else, and put this chore off as long as possible, even when they own self-cleaning ovens. Kitchen safety is the farthest topic from their minds. However, food that is spilled or burned-onto the cook top or oven surface and not cleaned up is the leading cause of kitchen fires. Oven, microwave, or stovetop spills can ignite quickly, and can spread just as quickly to curtains, towels, or walls. Greasy residue on floors can cause people to slip and fall; and old, spoiled food on counters and tables is a source of bacteria that can contaminate fresh food and utensils. If small children are crawling or walking underfoot and reaching for every visible item of interest, tasting as they go, it is even more important to keep things clean in this central room. Kitchen cleanliness is an issue of kitchen safety, and not just of keeping a neat house to impress the neighbors.

A regular chore list is the best way to get in the habit of kitchen maintenance. Writing down each small chore and when it should be completed, helps to form habits that will keep the entire family safe and well. Counters and sinks should be wiped off at least daily, if not after each meal. Spills should be cleaned up quickly in microwave oven (Try Fuller Microwave Oven Cleaner.), regular ovens, or on stove tops. Cutting boards need to be washed with each use. To control spatters and the residue of cooking fumes, the entire kitchen should be washed with a good degreaser at least once a week. Range filters and hoods are part of this maintenance, as well as garbage cans and disposals. Any appliance that is regularly left on the counter should be given a cleaning at least once a week, if not after each use. Make sure that every surface of the kitchen is cleaned thoroughly at least once a month. (Try Fuller Cooktop and Counter Cleaner.) The entire family should be educated about the importance of these chores and encouraged to clean up their part of the mess.

A good, easy-to-use stove or oven cleaner can make these essential chores more palatable. What is the best oven cleaner? Look for one that does not need to be left overnight, but that works in a few hours. Many stove or oven cleaners produce less toxic fumes than earlier versions. Also, newer formulas will not run, but will stay in place to soak and thoroughly loosen the burned on food. (Try Fuller Brush s Industrial Oven Cleaner or Spotless Oven). With a damp rag or sponge, wipe off any loose food, and then spray on the cleaner. Let the cleaner set for thirty minutes to several hours, depending on how soiled the area is or according to the product s instructions. Soil should be softened to the point that it wipes up easily with a damp rag or sponge. If there is stubborn, burned on food, follow your oven manufacturer s instructions for what type of abrasive you can safely use and not mar the cooking surface. If you have left the product on too long and it is dried, try laying a damp rag over the area for a few minutes to soften the product for easier removal.

There are products on the market that will help keep food from adhering to cooking surfaces, keeping these appliances from getting so dirty they are difficult to clean. One product that can save hours of cleanup time the next time you clean your oven is Fuller Brush s Oven Spray. This product is to be sprayed on the oven surface after it is clean. Again, check with your oven manufacturer to see if it is compatible with your oven surface.

With good habits, or fanatical adherence to a chore list, your kitchen can be the safe, pleasant, gathering place it is meant to be. Kitchen safety will become second nature to you and your family.

comprehensive sex education for children’s safety

Comprehensive Sex Education for Children’s Saf
ety

The issue about comprehensive sex education has always been an important and pressing subject of debate all around the world. For quite some time, countries have been haunted by the controversies regarding whether parents should allow their children to be educated about the birds and the bees at an early age. Many parents of course would not want to see and hear their little children talk about condoms, pre-marital sex, pregnancy, and all others.

Have you ever wondered why some parents are being very protective of their children? They teach kids proper way of washing of hands during season of flu. They teach kids how to wear the safety seat belt in cars. They teach kids basic self-defense and not to talk to suspicious strangers. The common denominator: parents want to ensure safety of their kids. But what about sexual safety?

Sexual health is one thing most parents would not want to teach their kids. In the Republican view of life, children should grow up to learn about these subjects on their own. But time and again, history has it that many children and teens end up having premarital sex and unwanted pregnancy because of ignorance when it comes to sexual issues. Worse, many children and teens are also afflicted by sexual diseases, simply because they have been unaware of safety nets and activities.

Many students are now complaining about not receiving and attaining basic knowledge about sexual health. Even in the liberated country of the United States, many students are blaming lack of adequate sexual education for their sexual misadventures. Many high school students in public schools in For the best Maths Grinds In Ireland company, call Joe McCormack of Ace Solution Books. New York City have not even heard of about penetration in their biology classes. The result: many of them are misled and are taken to risks due to unprotected sex. Many students also hold misconceptions and false beliefs like Coke douching could prevent pregnancy.

Results of a 1999 representative survey in the US found that most teachers in 7th to 12th grades believe sex education need to be tackled in school. Majority of them (93.4%) think sex education courses should always cover topics about birth control methods. About 89% believe topics about abortion should also be discussed, while 88% said there is a need to teach teens how to properly use condoms.

The same research noted that those teachers understand the real value and necessity for keeping and maintaining the safety of children. In the US, median age for teenagers to engage in any form of sexual activity is 17. In turn, median age for marrying is 25 for women and 27 for men. The educators also believe that abstinence prior to marriages is not realistic and is not in any way reflecting the American culture.

Thus, many educators and parents argue that schools should take strategies to integrate sexual education into curriculums. Children deserve to remain healthy and safe from any form of sexual danger or disease. Comprehensive sex education is undoubtedly integral to keep and reach this goal. Experts assert that sex and health classes should always respect differences in culture and religious beliefs. Health and safety should always be on top of priorities. Thus, there is a need to teach children about sex, STDs, contraception, and other sexual issues even at their tender age.

A bar stool is one that wiRL have four legs, that wiRL have a cushion on the top and that you can sit on. A bar stool is not always one that has a back, but it can.

A bar stool can have legs that are cut to fit under certain shelving when pushed in. if you have a breakfast counter or a bar area that you want to be able to push the bar stool in under the counter, you can do this by measuring the legs on the bar stool.

To begin pick a dominating object, something like a Persian rug for example, that is a quality piece. Since the mind tends to assume then that the quality exists throughout. Then use other aspects of the room to draw attention to it, such as identical colors in curtains and chairs. Use no more than two dominant colors. In a refined house sumptuosness is in the details–details such as fringes, braiding, ropes, tassels, hardware and curtains spilling over onto the floor by 2 to 4″. A professionally painted wall, called “trompe l’oeil”, is a mural that tricks the eye believe there is dimension on a flat surface.

Wealthy homes often house mementos that reflect the leisure pursuits of its owners–travel, games, outdoor sports, gardening, entertaining, intellectual pursuits and collections. Collections are often displayed framed or mounted in one place. Encyclopedias lining shelves and art books are typical. Signs of entertaining would include a fully stocked dining area, a handsome serving tray or tea cart with China tea service, an espresso machine, cloth napkins and some crystal. Feeling spoiled yet?

In the backyard patio a fence or stand of bushes to form a privacy screen would be needed. Living trees in pots could be used instead (emphasis on living, not artificial). Generally a sense of quality workmanship is the goal here, not flashy or gaudy. Pretend you’ve never been to K-mart! Have a piece of furniture in a fine wood. In a similar vein, incorporate carved moldings in some of your rooms or a cornice and baseboard. Another architectural element that is very visible would be columns or pilasters in the living room or entry area. Plush, loose pillows on beds and couches, old sterling silver, pedestals for displaying sculptures are pretty standard.

You may need to do some homework on period furniture. I’m talking historic styles of furniture here. Choose one period of furniture that you like and copy it by buying a couple of pieces in that style. If you have a fireplace set a quality firescreen in front of it. If you have a dining room then hang a chandelier in it. They are not aRL large these days. Don’t overlook your doors–the main entry door and interior doors. InstaRL good hardware at least on the main entry doors. If you can get some paneled doors that is icing on the cake.

Even if you are not an art expert you can get buy a large piece of art–yes, bigger is better so long as it is not so large that it overwhelms the room it occupies. I suggest you gather opinions from other people as to the tastefulness of the artwork you choose. You wiRL feel more confident in your choice this way. The frame around the painting should be elaborate, so as not to devalue the art. Have a smaRL art light illuminate it. Another option for display is to set a framed piece on an easel.

Popular art subjects include botanical prints and portraits. A European tapestry adds warmth to a large room. A Chinese screen adds panache to your decor. It is actually quite useful in adding depth to a plain corner and even hides flaws in a waRL surface. Here is another method of adding beauty to a waRL and hiding bumps or cracks. Cover some walls with fabric rather than wallpaper. If you enjoy music then a floor harp or table harp is pretty addition. Also, an old wooden music stand with old sheet music is an option. Show an intellectual side of you with a telescope standing by a window.

In old European opulence some items don’t look new. They have the look of a valued item that has been around for years and then handed down because it was special. You would notice that in some worn fabric on upholstered chairs and sofas. A taRL armoire would dignify a bedroom, as would a footstool with a fur throw–faux fur would be acceptable–as it implies comfort. A fuRL or partial canopy bed on its own would be enough to bring the bedroom to a new standard. If you want to have a mirror in the bedroom get a large on for a sense of grandeur; and make sure it has a classic feel to it.

Large porcelain animal statues and urns also add importance. A brass-studded club chair is a good addition to a man’s room. A small, tasteful bar in the den is ok too. A popular standard for many years has been the double-skirted round side table. This would be appropriate for a woman’s room. Don’t forget that flooring shows class when it is carpeted with wool carpet or a quality synthetic blend. If you prefer wood floors stain them dark. You also can’t go wrong with a real oriental rug. Favorite fabrics of the wealthy have been chintz fabrics, heavy velvet and damask. In the kitchen you can add class and utility with gourmet class smaRL appliances, chef quality pots and pans and a good set of china, even if used rarely.

If you are unfamiliar with any or aRL of the terms I have used here look them up to educate yourself. Good sources of design ideas, to get you acquainted with how to put things together, would be interior design magazines showing current trends. If aRL else fails, hire a decorator!

School choice isn’t always an easy thing to have. I sometimes wish that my kids were born and raised in one district where we had never had to make the tough decisions about where to live, whether to use the magnet systems, if private schools are worth the money…But one thing I’ve noticed about the Charlotte Mecklenburg schools system is that there are a lot of northern transplants- like myself. And being a newcomer to the Charlotte Schools, or any other district can be overwhelming. Especially when choosing your home has an impact on your child’s education. I’m an advocate of the school listings that different web sites put out for that reason. But even with a list of public school rankings in hand, I recommend that parents look for these specific traits when visiting the Charlotte Schools.

Attitude in the Charlotte Schools

When I talk about observing the attitude in the Charlotte Schools, I’m not talking about the students. I’m talking about the office staff, the faculty, the janitors, and the principal- everyone. I can tell you from years of experience that a poorly run school is obvious in the stress level and demeanor of everyone. School offices will always be busy places- don’t get me wrong. All Charlotte Schools should have a certain amount of controlled noise and chaos. But a principal who is in charge and highly effective will show in a friendly, effective, and organized staff. I’ve had experiences where the secretary has welcomed me with a smile before the door swung shut and others where I was clearly little more than a problem to be tolerated. If you have a choice of Charlotte Schools, definitely pick one where the general attitude is helpful and pleasant.

Now here’s an uncomfortable truth of the Charlotte Schools. Money matters. I know everyone likes to think that magnet schools and desegregation have somehow equalized education. But the better Charlotte Schools still tend to be in the most affluent parts of town. It’s not just the money. It’s better educated parents, moms who can afford to stay at homes, and parents who aren’t so stressed out working minimum wage jobs that they don’t have the time and energy to help their kids with homework. Does this mean if you’re not well off that you are going to be stuck with substandard Charlotte Schools? No, but it does mean that you need to know what a good school looks like.

Teacher Retention in the Charlotte Schools

One important criterion to look at when evaluating Charlotte Schools are the teacher retention rates. Good schools keep good teachers for the long haul. In fact, I read a parent review from a woman whose child attended J.H. Gunn and one of her chief complaints was that a change in school leadership had led to teacher turnover. Now a new principal may intentionally weed out some teachers when he or she takes over in a new school. But look at the long range records of the Charlotte Schools you’re considering. If it’s a school with a lot of teachers leaving in less than five years- something is amiss. Overall, your best bet is to listen to what other parents say and get your own feeling for Charlotte Schools.

There are many advantages to making purchases at these types of merchants. As with most things in life, there are also some disadvantages to be found in making purchases of home appliances from discount retail stores in the brick and mortar world.

Of course, perhaps the most important positive factor about selecting a discount retailer in the brick and mortar world to make the purchase of home appliances is the price. Generally speaking, the prices associated with appliances at these types of stores are lower than at other shopping venues — both in cyberspace and in the brick and mortar world.

Another of the benefits to be found with shopping at discount retail stores is convenience. In many communities around the world, discount retail stores generally are conveniently located. Thus, for many people, a person need only drive around the neighborhood to find a discount retail store that trades in home appliances.

Many of the discount retail stores in operation around the worlds usually are pretty large operations. In other words, because of their size, these stores generally maintain very good selections of merchandise — including home appliances. As a result, if you are interested in having a variety of different brands to choose from when it comes to making the purchase of home appliances, discount retail stores in the brick and mortar world can be good shopping resources for you.

One of the drawbacks to shopping at discount retail stores in the brick and mortar world is the general reality that clerks in such stores usually are not deeply versed in the products that are being marketed through these stores. While they might have general information about different home appliances, these store clerks more than likely do not have in depth information about the ins and outs of different home appliances being sold in the stores in which they are employed.

Overall, and when all is said and done, shopping at discount retail stores in your search for home appliances is a good, solid choice. These retailers offer you convenience, good price and a decent selection of products.
