Worst commute dates in Bay Area history
Jan. 19, 2017 Updated: June 5, 2017 7:45 a.m.
April 29, 2007 — MacArthur Maze collapse
Robert CampbellAn early morning, single-vehicle crash of a gas tanker led to a major headache when the resulting fire virtually melted parts of the highway overpass and caused it to collapse onto the roadway. The closure was estimated to affect 80,000 commute trips, according to estimates at the time, as BART and Caltrans looked for ways to deal with the high demand. The maze reopened after construction crews were able to complete the work within 26 days.
Aug. 31 - Sept. 3, 2007 — Bay Bridge Labor Day Weekend closure
PAUL CHINNDuring the Labor Day weekend in 2007, Caltrans closed the eastbound lanes approaching the Bay Bridge in order to demolish a 1,000 foot section of the upper deck. BART ran trains for 24 hours from the start of the bridge closure, with a noted uptick in ridership for the public transportation system and more vehicles crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, as well.
Oct. 27 - Nov. 2, 2009 — Bay Bridge emergency closure
Noah Berger/Special to The ChronicleThe Bay Bridge was forced to close after two high-strength steel rods and a crossbeam snapped. Those parts were installed during another Labor Day bridge closure a month earlier, before causing this issue. The closure at the time was considered to be the longest amount of time the bridge shut down, since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
June 14, 2012 — fire near BART's West Oakland station
Graham Linn/Special to the ChronicleAn early morning fire at a construction site near the West Oakland BART station damaged electrical and communications systems on the elevated BART tracks — and caused the cancellation of transbay service. An estimated 110,000 passengers were impacted, and the fire caused an estimated $25 million in damages.

Angelina Jolie Opens In 'Maleficent' May 30, 2014
Desetoiles October 22nd, 2013 - 12:05 PM
Angelina Jolie is 'Maleficent'
The Disney fantasy-thriller Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie, has been bumped up from July 2, 2014 to May 30, 2014. The decision likely stems from a desire to keep well away from the hoopla of the next entries in both the Transformers and Fast and Furious franchises, not to mention the World Cup, which is being played in Brazil next summer. The release date was initially moved to July to accommodate some minor re-shoots, so apparently everything is going smoothly with the final touches on the picture.
Maleficent is a live-action adaptation of the Disney classic Sleeping Beauty told from the perspective of the Mistress of all Evil – Maleficent herself. Not unlike the musical Wicked, which seeks to make the Wicked Witch of the West a sympathetic character, Maleficent tells the story of how its title character wasn't always wicked and vengeful, and indeed once was loving and joyful. When she was young, a rival King had invaded her father's kingdom, and it was Maleficent who bravely defended it. In the process, Maleficent was deeply betrayed, her heart turned cold and bitter. Years later, when she is faced with the invading King's successor, she seizes an opportunity for revenge by casting a wicked spell on his daughter, the Princess Aurora, played by Elle Fanning of Super 8. Over time Maleficent begins to realize that Aurora holds the keys to the peace and happiness in both kingdoms.
Angelina Jolie as 'Maleficent'
Translation from animation to live action is notoriously difficult, so it is perhaps with that in mind that Disney selected Robert Stromberg, two-time Oscar winner for Production Design (Avatar, Alice In Wonderland) to direct. Tim Burton was once attached to command the project but had to drop out because of prior obligations. Linda Woolverton, who collaborated with Burton on the Alice In Wonderland screenplay, and wrote the scripts for the classic animated Disney films Beauty and The Beast and The Lion King, wrote the Maleficent script with assistance from Paul Dini.
Sharlto Copley (District 9), Sam Riley (Control), Juno Temple (The Dark Knight Rises), Brenton Thwaits (Home And Away), Miranda Richardson (The Harry Potter series) and Imelda Staunton (The Harry Potter series) star. Seven time Oscar winner for Special Effects Make-up, Rick Baker is also on board.
Joe Roth, Don Hahn and Richard D. Zanuck are producing under the Roth Studio banner with Disney distributing.

Kentucky Basketball: Calipari's Pre-Louisville Press Conference
John Calipari addressed the media today in regards to the Louisville game tomorrow.
By Glenn Logan Dec 27, 2013, 12:48pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Kentucky Basketball: Calipari's Pre-Louisville Press Conference
Jamie Rhodes-US PRESSWIRE
Here we have Calipari's pre-game comments, and they are pretty much the standard fare for Calipari's pre-Louisville conferences (and pre-game conferences in general). Here's a few notable things I picked up on:
Calipari gets that this is an important game in regard to seeding, although he didn't say that outright. What he said was that these are the kinds of games you don't get that many shots at. From my perspective, he gets that the road to a top seed is much easier with this game as a victory than not. With that said, opportunities may still arise, or they may not.
Three things he identified: Play more like a team rather than a collection, respond to adversity, and have more of an edge.
Thinks both teams will have "an issue" with the rivalry. This was in response to a question about the game back in 2009 that got so physical, and DeMarcus Cousins famously rubbed his elbow on Jared Swopshire's head.
Made a good point about how Louisville defends, that is that they are a zone team who will occasionally chase a cutter, but fundamentally a zone team.
Praised Alex Poythress' practice, the team's GPA, and wants them to quit worrying about the official's calls or making a bad play. He just wants them to "battle."
There's much more in there to talk about, so... you know, talk about it.

The revision in policy is made to bring down the last-minute changes to a minimum, enabling better capacity utilization onboard, IndiGo said.
By Ria Lakshman June 30th, 2019 AT 7:45 PM
The new revisions are in effect from 27 June 2019.
Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri recently said in Parliament that 62,958 of IndiGo passengers were affected due to flight cancellations.
The budget carrier IndiGo has revised its ticket cancellation and change policies. As per the new revision, the passenger who requests for cancellation within three days of the journey has to pay a cancellation charge of INR 3500. The fee remains the same for the domestic travel as well as for the trips made within Indian sub-continent.
For the journeys to the South East, the Middle East, and the rest of Asia destinations, the cancellation charge within the 0-3 days is INR 5000. For Istanbul and the tickets booked to European sectors in codeshare flights, the cancellation charge is INR 6500.
IndiGo flight cancellation charges, however, will remain the same as before for cancelling the tickets four or more days in advance of the travel dates.
Another revision in the policy says that the passenger can make any changes or cancellations free of charge within 24 hours of booking if the ticket is booked at least seven days before the travel dates. The free cancellation/change is applicable only for domestic travel.
For domestic flights as well as for the travel within the Indian sub-continent, IndiGo will charge INR 3000 for the change requests made within 0-3 days. This change fee is INR 2500 while the request is made in four days or advance.

For tickets booked to South East, the Middle East, and other destinations in Asia, IndiGo levies a change fee of INR 4000 for requests made within 0-3 days of the journey. The same is INR 3500 if the request is placed in four days advance. The change fee is INR 5000 for the trips to Istanbul and other Europe sector in codeshare flights.
The new changes in cancellation and flight change policy are designed to bring down the last-minute changes to a minimum, enabling better capacity utilization on-board. Improved processes will help us to continue providing IndiGo's on-time, courteous and hassle-free service at affordable fares, said IndiGo's chief commercial officer William Boulter. The revisions are in effect from 27 June 2019.
The announcement comes after Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri informed in Parliament that 62,958 of IndiGo passengers were affected due to flight cancellations from January to May this year. IndiGo paid a total compensation amount of Rs 12.14 lakh to these passengers.

ARSENAL reportedly face an uphill battle to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic.
According to The Sun, Arsenal are planning a move for Pulisic amid fears they could lose either Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil.
Both players will be out of contract with the Gunners at the end of next season.
However, according to Bild, Dortmund have no intention of selling the 18-year-old.
They say Arsene Wenger has an "extremely difficult mission" on his hands if he is to lure him to the Emirates.
The news will come as a blow to Liverpool, who are also reportedly keen on Pulisic.
Jurgen Klopp is said to be willing to part with up to around £26m to reunite with the 11-cap USA international.
Pulisic was learning his trade in Dortmund's youth teams towards the end of Klopp's time in charge of the German club.
However he has since broken into their first-team under Thomas Tuchel, making 12 top-flight appearances this season and scoring two goals in the process.
His current deal at the Westfalenstadion expires in the summer of 2019.

Half of UK SMEs predict a recession, with significant knock-on effects for Irish firms says research from Bibby Financial Services
September 10, 2019 /in Uncategorized /by uniquemedia
Brexit burden draining resources with 17% citing rising material costs as a significant burden
Half of UK SMEs believe the country will fall into recession this year, while 44% are struggling with cashflow as they prepare for Brexit. This is according to the latest SME Confidence Tracker from Bibby Financial Services in the UK. As the Brexit deadline approaches, Irish SMEs are being warned that this downturn in the UK will have important knock-on effects.
The report, which surveys 1,000 business decision-makers on a quarterly basis from across the UK, found that rising material costs are a significant burden for 17% of businesses, with 15% also feeling the strain of increasing competition. As SMEs ramp up Brexit preparations, there has been a six per cent rise (to 29%) in the number of SMEs actively using funding in Q2 of 2019. Seventy-two per cent of SMEs are also investing an average of £16,400 more than predicted at the end of Q1.
According to economic analyses from the PMIs and the Office for National Statistics, it appears that this additional investment is being used to offset risks associated with a no-deal Brexit. Sixty-nine per cent of UK SMEs are preparing to further invest in their businesses in Q3 as they attempt to protect themselves from any negative impacts of Brexit.
Given half of UK SMEs believe a recession is likely, many have turned to quick-fix forms of funding, with over a quarter (26%) of those needing finance making use of credit cards, bank overdrafts, and borrowing from family and friends.
Mark O'Rourke, Managing Director of Bibby Financial Services Ireland, said: "Despite the events of recent days, the threat of no-deal hasn't gone away, and this research highlights the extent to which UK SMEs are already feeling the financial strain of Brexit – and should act as a warning to their Irish counterparts. For Irish SMEs who trade with the UK there will be significant knock-on effects due to the disruption to raw materials and commercial activity that Brexit will cause.
"Irish SMEs will need to think strategically about how they can best protect their business – whether this means looking to new export markets or adopting alternative financing methods as a means of safeguarding cashflow."
Sharon Wiltshire, UK Commercial Director at Bibby Financial Services, said: "Ordinarily a rise in the number of companies investing in themselves would be a boon for the economy. But with increasing competition, rising materials costs and the broader economy stalling, businesses appear to be sourcing finance to cope with these challenging conditions rather than investing for growth.
"With the current uncertainty, it has never been more essential for SMEs to be aware of all the funding options available to them before they commit to more borrowing."
Bibby Financial Services Ireland is a leading provider of financial support and funding solutions to Irish SMEs. The company helps businesses to thrive and grow in domestic and international markets by providing tailored and flexible funding solutions for a range of scenarios including cashflow funding, new equipment purchase, growth and expansion, management buy-ins and buy-outs, refinancing, corporate restructuring and mergers and acquisitions.

Our setup techs always seem to connect the water lines incorrectly. We have diagrams to show the setup, but they seem to mess it up anyways.
Companies who use individual water lines rather than a manifold should color-code everything using blue lines for incoming water, red lines for outgoing water, and extra colors such as yellow for line which exit and re-enter the mold.
Once you have this established, place colored plaques on each connection of the mold. This will ensure that your employees cannot accidentally connect an in-line to an out connector.

Summary of "Spectroscopic studies, DFT calculations, and cytotoxic activity of novel silver(I) complexes of hydroxy ortho-substituted-nitro-2H-chromen-2-one ligands and a phenanthroline adduct."
Silver(I) complexes of coumarin-based ligands and one of their phenanthroline (phen) adducts have been prepared and characterized using microanalytical data, molar conductivity, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, UV-Vis, and atomic absorption (AAS) spectroscopies. The binding modes of the coumarin-based ligands and the most probable structure of their Ag(I) complexes were predicted by means of molecular modeling and calculations of their IR, NMR, and absorption spectra using density functional theory (DFT). The cytotoxicity of the compounds studied against human-derived hepatic carcinoma cells (Hep-G2) and a renal cancer cell line (A498) showed that the complexes were more cytotoxic than the clinically used chemotherapeutic, mitoxantrone. The compounds showed little interaction with DNA and also did not show nuclease activity but manifested excellent superoxide dismutase activity which may indicate that their mechanism of action is quite different to many metal-based therapeutics.

NFL Combine Day 1 : Who Should Chiefs Fans Watch For?
The NFL combine kicks off today at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Here's a breakdown of when things will happen, and players Chiefs fans should keep an eye on throughout the week.
Chiefs Focus @Chiefs Focus Charles Robinson @CRob5769
It's been 15 days since the Super Bowl. 15 days of crawling through a desert baren of any hints of football. We've seen mirages along the way – the release of Anthony Hitchens, the re-signing of Eric Bienemy and reunion with Matt Nagy – but haven't really had any real football news or content to sink our teeth into since then. In the football world 15 days can feel like 15 years, especially when you consider how plugged in some folks (myself included) are to "(insert team name here) Twitter" and other media outlets. The NFL has become a media machine, and the absence of substantial news just leaves us to find things to argue about online. Super good for the brain health.
Well wait no more, folks. NFL coaches, front office personnel, and medical teams among others have congregated in Indy and the festivities kicked off today. The 324 players invited will go through rigorous mental and physical assessment from now until Sunday when the Combine wraps up. They will be subjected to interviews from teams that have interest in them and some who may not yet, but will by the time the Combine is over. Some of the questions will without a doubt be off the wall – mostly in part to see how the young players handle the pressure of being put on the spot. Some of the past questions that have been documented during these interviews include :
"Do you like men?"
"Do you find your mother attractive?"
"When did you lose your virginity?"
"Is your mother a prostitute?"
"What kind of fish are you?"
"Are you a dog or a cat?"
"What is your murder weapon of choice?"
Answer any of those the wrong way and the door to your prospective NFL career could somehow close. Answer them correctly, and you're the luckiest man in the room at the moment. One has to think that the murder weapon of choice question can only be answered with "my own hands", correct? I don't know, that just seems like a football guy answer. Maybe you should say "7 man sled". All I know is I'm glad I don't have to answer these questions. I would melt under the pressure these kids are about to go through. Yes, they are kids, and I am officially old as I approach my 34th birthday.
What we are all waiting for, though, is the field workout portion of the NFL Combine. The Underwear Olympics, if you will. Players will be measured on 7 primary drills across all positions over the course of the next 5 days. Those drills include the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle, and 60-yard shuttle among various other position specific drills. Players will also be subject to a "tale of the tape" at the combine. They will have their height and weight measured, obviously, and as we all know by now the league will measure players hand size, arm length, and wing span as well.
Mentally, they will be subjected to a few measurements as well. The players will be subjected to the NFL's Player Assessment test, which measures learning styles, motivation, decision making skills, response to pressure and unexpected stimuli, and core intellect. They will have to take the TAP (Troutwine Athletic Profile), developed by sports psychologist and William Jewell College professor Dr. Robert Troutwine, to place them into one of 8 athletic profiles. You can find the definitions of those profiles here, but these guys will either be labeled as Trailblazers, Rockets, Eagles, Engineers, Knights, Musketeers, Ice, or Mavericks. And, of course, they will all have to take the famous Wonderlic Test.
Overall this will be a grueling few days for these guys, who have tirelessly prepared for this moment since wrapping up their final seasons of college football. I'll leave the schedule for the field portion week at the bottom of the post. But let's take a look at some guys who Chiefs fans need to keep an eye out for at this year's Combine first. To make this easy, I've chosen 2 of the players from each of our focus positions that we've gathered thus far this offseason. There are many, many more to cover but we will get to that as we move through the process and inch closer to the NFL Draft. Profiles are taken from my favorite online resource for player evaluation, thedraftnetwork.com.
Offensively :
Wide Receiver :
Dontario Drummond – Ole Miss
"Dontario Drummond is a former 3-star recruit out of Laurel High School. As a three-sport athlete, he played baseball, basketball, and football. Spent two years at East Mississippi Community College before transferring to Ole Miss. He helped win state championships with both football and basketball teams. Drummond will be a 25-year-old rookie next August. This could remove him from draft boards of teams that prioritize youth. He is a big slot receiver that rotates on the perimeter. His game is predicated on yards after the catch. He has the speed to get behind defenders on go and post routes. He faced a ton of off-coverage, leading to unrefined releases and routes. How will he handle physical press coverage at the next level? Can he adapt or will he need the same pre-snap motions and alignments to have success? Time will tell."
You can find his full draft profile here
George Pickens – Georgia
"He is a matchup problem in slant/fade situations. He can defeat press with foot quickness but will need to add mass, bulk, and upper-body strength to his wiry frame in order to play through physicality in the NFL. Because he is lean and there have been injury concerns in his past, this could affect the projection to the next level. So while the grade is reflective of the talent level, there are other factors that could factor into his projection. Ultimately, he has redeeming value in his athleticism, agility, and catch radius."
Kenneth Walker – Michigan State
"Walker III projects as an early-down back and high-volume ball-carrier at the NFL level and offers enough dynamic play in lateral situations to be considered someone capable of working off-script and creating for himself when the point of attack fails to create room to work. Walker III's resume has little question as a ball-carrier but the supplementary areas of his game can still unlock further levels to his skill set and help him become a more complete player at the NFL level."
Jerome Ford – Cincinnati
Ford won't be confused as an overly elusive or shifty back, but he has plenty of agility to complement his downhill style. When it comes to growth areas, the biggest thing for Ford is proving himself on passing downs. While he's hauled in almost every target sent his way in college, it was never a priority for him to be featured in the passing game and has run a basic route tree. While he has the makings of an outstanding back in pass protection, he needs to improve his ability to diagnose and respond. Ford has the makings of a top-two option in a running back stable and has starter traits should he prove himself more on passing downs."
Defense :
DL/Edge :
George Karlaftis – Purdue
"Karlaftis has rushed the passer from both two and three-point stances and gets strong release from his tilted two-point stance when he's aligned at wider angles. Amid the debate about the value of speed and flexibility versus power on the edge, Karlaftis is going to be a testament to the latter. He wins many reps with his ability to roll blockers back on their heels and reducing the angles that he needs to work with in order to disrupt timing and comfort in the backfield before transitioning to the football. But don't think he can't claim outside wins, too. He's fully capable of dipping the outside track or hitting an inside swim maneuver. He may not have the best pitches in his arsenal as a pass rusher out of this year's class, but he might have the most."
Michael Clemmons – Texas A&M
"Michael Clemons is a senior defensive lineman that transferred into the Texas A&M program from Cisco Junior College. Clemons has started for the last two seasons at defensive end. This past season served as Clemons' most productive season as he was able to accumulate seven sacks with his most productive outing coming in the season finale against LSU (three sacks). Clemons plays as an edge defender playing in both the two-point and three-point stance. From the two-point stance, he is able to burst out of his stance and blow past offensive linemen. He can also use his exceptional length to set the edge against run plays that are directed his way. Clemons is a good athlete that with further development flashed the potential to be a productive edge rusher in the NFL for the foreseeable future."
On Clemmons, I have a good friend who is a scout for a NFC West squad. His assessment?
"A true enigma and a freak show…his knuckles scrape the ground…improved this season and he's got some shit you just can't coach in terms of the physical traits."
Chalk Michael Clemons up as my "I hope we get his ass" mid to late round pickup.
Linebacker :
Chad Muma – Wyoming
"Chad is a linebacker who roams the box for the Cowboys' defense. He's a good athlete with regard to agility and lateral mobility. In the run game, he's excellent due to his outstanding instincts in the box. He is heavy at the point of attack and overall has outstanding tackling efficiency in the open field. He really misses tackles in the box or in space. In the passing game, he is outstanding, giving him true three-down value. He is athletic enough in coverage to cover running backs on routes. He is outstanding at using his spatial awareness and instincts to get in the passing lanes. He has good hands to secure interceptions, as well. He makes all the calls defensively and easily adjusts with motion. In the NFL, he should be a starter in sub-package situations initially, with the opportunity to grow into a starter with pro coaching."
Muma is Calab's find, a good one if I do say so myself. Could be an outstanding replacement to Ben Niemann for the coming season.
Secondary (Safety and CB) :
Coby Bryant – Cincinnati – CB
"Bryant is a competitive cover man with man and zone versatility. He has great ball skills and tracking abilities. He has a quick trigger to sit and break on shorter routes. Bryant is a solid athlete but twitchy receivers can force him to panic early in the stem. Poor tackling form has plagued him. He'd rather dive at the ball-carrier's feet as an ankle-biter—improvement is needed in this area."
Jalen Pitre – Baylor – Safety
"On any given play you can find Pitre playing FS, SS, ILB, or
OLB. His athletic traits allow for defensive coordinators to put him in position to make plays. Pitre is an active sideline-to-sideline player that prides himself on having a physical presence in his tackling. In coverage, Pitre is best when he can play as a middle-of-the-field robber and use his natural instincts to lead him to the ball. In his last two seasons at Baylor, Pitre has seen his high level of play pay off in the form of many awards. In 2020 Pitre was named to the First Team All-Big 12 Team and in 2021 he was named to the AP All-American First Team. Pitre is a versatile defender that has proven that he has a knack for making plays close to the line of scrimmage."

A Whole Generation of Children Deprived from Education.
After 3 years of intensifying conflict, the education system in Yemen has been completely destroyed. War and conflict have a devastating effect on the prospects of a better education. Education should be a birth right for every child and not tampered with no matter what the situation of the country is. This is a world responsibility to ensure such prospects are offered to every child of the world. Due to the growing conflict and tension in Yemen, the government is struggling to focus and maintain the education system. As a result, children are getting married early, placed into labor or being recruited into the ongoing conflict as parents and children have lost hope in the education system entirely.
With almost 2 million students out of education, an entire generation of children placed in serious risk as they either have none or limited access to education. Since the war began, half a million have dropped out of schools on top of the students already outside education.
Since the 2015 conflict, at least 5,000 children have been reported dead or injured and a staggering 400,000 undernourished. This has completely disrupted the schooling system and the future of the Yemeni children is bleak.
A shocking three quarters of public-school teachers have not been paid any wages for more than a year, this has endangered an extra 4.5 million students on top the 2 million out of education. Those studying lack essential and acceptable school supplies. In addition to deficient school material as the government cannot support the schooling system.
The Yemen schooling system is suffering severely, with more than 2500 schools no longer usable, two thirds of these schools have been destroyed through attacks. From the remaining 34%, 27% have been closed down and the last 7% are being used to shelter the displaced/homeless or used as military shelters for rival factions of the conflict.
Conflict and turmoil showing no face of change as we enter the next academic year. Still, Yemen has one of the worst effected education systems in the world. This was not always the case as prior to the conflict, Yemen was progressing in its education growth and we could see that in the enrollment rate which rose from 71.3 percent to 97.5 percent which was an incredible step. The conflict shed its terror in the rise/growth of knowledge and sadly has a devastating consequence on the education system.
We should already know the importance of easy access to knowledge and that it is a fundamental component that should be mandatory for every child. Education is something most of us take for granted in developed countries but in Yemen, children struggle to get access to the most basic learning material.
So, what makes education such an important topic? Why should we care, and how important is it that we should we care?
It should be known that education is the elemental building block in anyone's life and a birth right to all children. We must look at our past generation and their contributions to development, then we ensure our generation of youth also become a contributing factor. So, they can ensure for their next generation and so on. This has always been the focus of world countries and the natural cycle of progression.
Why is it important? We must keep the younger generation up to date, so they may provide solutions and fresh ideas to society. This secures a stronger, healthier and safer community. This means we must protect, secure and provide knowledge/values to the youth, no matter what side of the world they are from.
We should care as a world community and make it our obligation to help the children of the world identify their strong skills, creativity and potential. This in turns helps them identify their identity and ensures they are a contributing element to society. The child is the center of a growing and developing society, as a world community it is crucial we make this the topic of our focus.
It is compulsory we take care of the children in Yemen if we ever want to contribute real peace and change. Yemen is in a state of war and lacks education and are a small contributor to world development. Therefore, growing and potentially open for big developments. If we as a global community stick together in supporting the education and safe being of Yemen's future generation, we are in fact contributing to the long-term stability of the country.
We at SABA Relief acknowledge and work our best to help eliminate the struggles of the Yemeni people. We understand that education is a crucial contributor to help end poverty. We have carried out many campaigns focused on providing a solution to the education downfall in Yemen and we concentrate on ensuring that children have easy access to learning materials, supplies, school kits and uniforms. The children of Yemen should not suffer a right they are primarily entitled to. This deprivation of education is our main priority if we wish to eliminate poverty as a whole in the long-term view of the Yemeni crisis and provide a real opportunity for the current and next generation.
Every year we try to help the children of Yemen build their confidence and hope by providing educational aid. This year we are aiming to help more and be a reason of hope.
We urge you to help us solve the current struggle of the education system in Yemen and the hardships faced by the innocent children. If you wish to donate, please contact SABA Relief as we have access to parts of Yemen which others either have no or struggle to get access to. We wish to use this for bettering the future of the Yemeni children, please act with us and join us on this life changing campaign, we cannot do this with you.


Below are five most common home problems homeowners face. By identifying minor issues before they end up being full-blown issues, you could potentially save yourself hundreds of dollars.
As a result of improper surface grading, most basements will end up leaking through water aggregation. Homeowners should examine their own lot grading and take the necessary steps to prevent flooding and property damage. The causes of basement water damage issues are generally external. To address the issue at hand, homeowners can divert water away from the building, provide drainage along the basement perimeter, protect the foundation walls against moisture and ensure they have durable grading near the basement and over the entire lot.
Roof problems, obvious or unforeseen, are always a hassle and undoubtedly a significant expense for homeowners. The most common issue with any roof would be roof leaks and moisture. It is recommended that roof inspections be done at least twice a year - spring and fall. The best place to look is from the interior, namely from the attic.
Here are four things to look for on the inside: (1) Places where the roof deck is sagging (2) Signs of water damage or leaking (3) Dark spots and trails (4) Outside light showing through roof.
Upon discovery of water damage, do not assume that the roof needs to be replaced altogether. If the roof was properly installed and is less than 15-20 years old, it can most likely be repaired rather than replaced.
Plumbing defects are another common problem homeowners experience one time or another. Most common plumbing problems are quite easy to fix. By doing the repairs yourself, you can potentially save hundreds of dollars.
Improper Electrical Wiring is another common issue that homeowners run into. This includes amateur wiring connections, insufficient electrical service to the house and inadequate overload protection.
Not properly maintaining your home can transform your home into an allergen haven. People who live in homes subject to damp conditions are more prone to allergies, colds and other respiratory ailments.
