Dr Yang's Traditional Chinese Medical Clinic
These are some of the conditions Dr Yang have treated previously.
All patients have given their permission for their conditions and treatments to be posted on our website. Our patients' privacy are fully protected.
WARNING: Please do NOT treat yourselves at home according to these case studies. Same symptoms do NOT equal to same treatments.
Treatment of Alternating Chills and Fever.
The patient had limb weaknesses and upper extremity pains, especially extremely painful figure joints for the past two weeks. The GP wasn't sure whether or not it was a viral infection, hence prescribed the patient some antibiotics for a week, which after two days, not only did it not cure the problem, the symptoms got worse. Every day starting around 7 pm, the patient feels extremely cold from head to toe, which lasts around an hour. While by 11 pm, the patient would feel extremely hot, which prevented sleep. This lasts until 1 am. After that, the patient would sweat really badly until around 3 am. Urine also appears yellow. Later on, red eyes also can be observed. After a few days, the GP told the patient that it is a viral infection, as the antibiotic didn't work at all.
After taking the patient's pulse and asking the symptoms, Dr.Yang diagnosed it as alternating chills and fever.
Acupuncture at acupuncture points Qimen (LR14), Zhongzhu (SJ3) and Yang Ling Quan (GB34).
By the evening after treatment, straightaway the patient's symptoms of alternating chills and fever during the night have disappeared.


Can we all just be honest that this motherhood thing is tough? I'm pregnant, and I'm pretty unfiltered, so buckle up because I have many feelings about it.
Yesterday I read this post on my friend Kristen's blog, "For When the Mother In You is Desperate," and the post was great, but the responses stopped me in my tracks. Mom after mom after mom poured out her heart in the comments about how desperate and overwhelmed she felt, and how alone she felt in that place of desperation, like she was failing on a desert island. Woman after woman shared how much she needed grace.
And boy do I relate.
Yesterday my oldest child snuck into Valentine's candy and ate it all in her closet before 7 am, and in a sugar craze then made huge messes in room after room after room in our house throughout the day every time I turned my back. I spoke harshly to her many times yesterday, which made me feel small and horrible. This morning I spent almost an hour cleaning up glass from the Christmas lights that she unstrung and broke in our backyard (because she wanted colored lights, not white ones) during the 20 minutes I sent her outside to give each of us a small break.
A good friend one time asked me why, when our children rebel or disobey, us moms tend to feel like it is our failing and not just our children's. And I didn't know the answer to his question. But I do know that is how it feels. And even as moms, when we see other children rebel, we do tend to blame the parents, don't we, if we're truly honest? We forget the sin nature and the curiosity and the immature self-regulation and the power of impulse and instead we just feel like the worst mom in the world. We are so quick to judge, and so slow to give ourselves, and other moms, grace.
What a terrible tactic of our enemy. He lays the blame trap, and so often we fall into it. May God help us to see as He sees and avoid this trap. We need to know that we aren't failing and that our children are just growing and learning, and that just because this is hard doesn't mean we are bad at it. We need God to help us see the grace that is ours.
And to compound this problem, it's hard to know where to go with these feelings, because it is lonely being a mom. Which is another tactic of our enemy. Isolate and destroy. Isolate and destroy. It's been his battle plan since the beginning. And he is good at isolating moms of young children.
My friends with children who understand where I live are themselves too overwhelmed to do much more than check in occasionally, and my friends without children have their own busy lives and although they try so hard, the world we live in with young children is hard to comprehend. True friendship is hard to maintain when you are the mom of young children – and it is a season of life where I think we may need friends the most. True friends give perspective when we have lost our ability to see the bigger picture. Thank God most of us have those friends who you can see or hear from once every three weeks and still pick up where you left off, but the hours and days and weeks between significant adult interaction can sometimes spread out before you in an overwhelming chasm.
And social media, although it seems it would help with this problem, just isn't sufficient to fill that void and I think may even exasperate the problem. I think sometimes we post the fun stuff, because we don't want to appear crazy and put out there all of the bad feelings, so we fake each other out so we don't reach out and we don't know what is on the heart of our friends. We are connected virtually but alone relationally. It's a bastardization of the true community that we need as humans to grow and thrive, so false and yet what we have settled for. Maybe even what we've been deceived to settle for.
And lately, the whole thing has had me on my knees. Justin and I are talking through what to do about the difficulty of parenting and the isolation in the midst of it, and thankfully he understands and relates and takes my feelings and needs seriously. Because I am more needy than usual. I feel lonely and overwhelmed. I want to battle it all – but when we are tired it is hard to battle. So together we are working through what to do with all of it.
First of all, I deactivated Facebook for lent to force me to have real interactions with people I love and not settle for the social media fake-out. And in those relationships – I'm trying hard to be real and transparent.
Second, Justin and I are trying to talk to each other more about deep things we feel and about our struggles with faith everyday, making sure we connect over more than TV shows and work updates.
Third, we're trying to have more people over into our house and visit the homes of people we love. In-person interactions are truly the best community.
And fourth, I'm trying to call or text friends to see how life really is beyond the mask of social media and momentary interactions at church on Sundays, especially when the Lord lays them on my heart.
For all of you friends who feel unsettled and alone, I guess I just want to say "me too" and I'm sorry you feel that way. For my offline friends, I am sorry for my part in any relationship that is all surface and no substance. I am working on being refined in this area and truly praying for a revival in the relationships in our life. Because we need each other, especially in this season of life. Because we aren't failing. This is just hard. It is a season, and it will end someday, and for now we just need to keep working, keep trying, stay humble and loving to our kids when we can, and take a break when we can't. We need naps and date nights and occasional ugly cries and texting each other the terrible things we think when we are just too tired to fake it anymore. We need the grace and perspective that true community brings. We need new mercy each day. We need more grace than we even know how to ask for.
So what do you think? What has the Lord shown you as a trick to maintain relationships when times get tough and schedules are insane? How do you keep a wise perspective on parenting and avoid the "blame" trap the enemy sets for us? Any wisdom for us overwhelmed moms?
The Olympics demonstrated for me what I love about social media. I loved watching gymnastics with my computer in my lap, laughing at tweets from people I love about an athlete's strange wardrobe decisions and cheering on the team that in overtime just needs to score a stinking goal. I loved watching what is trending worldwide to see what was happening live in London, imagining being in that beautiful city to witness history firsthand. When I realized that I couldn't access online content because we no longer have cable and NBC was requiring subscriber information for access, I went to Twitter to voice my frustration and joined joyfully in the #NBCfail snark. When Matt and Meredith insulted the entire world with completely inane and potentially racist commentary during the Opening Ceremony, I was interacting with old friends on Facebook who joined me in laughing disbelief and horror. During the games, I followed athletes and loved seeing their photographs and reading their joy firsthand. It made the Olympics fun and interactive. I felt like a part of it, and it removed the roadblock that NBC had placed between me and the Olympics that limited my viewing choices to what they handpicked to air between commercials to generate the most revenue.
It made the Olympics feel like an event that I was watching on a giant sofa with people I love, like the Lost Finale we watched with our closest island-adoring friends.
We were joined together, rooting for these athletes who have spent years training for this one moment. We were hopeful and joyful and cheering them on. It was unity in action, the entire world celebrating life and health and hard work.
It is what I love the most about social media. Simple joy and the crossing of divides.
And it is the exact opposite of what we are entering into next. The same reason I loved social media during the Olympics is why I dread it in the politically-charged fall. Because it is the opposite of unity – it is division and tearing each other down and flinging soundbites at each other from across the divide. Politics makes social media miserable, and I truly dread it.
I want to cling to the Olympic unity this Fall. Unless we are uniting in our mutual disgust with Matt Lauer, I want to avoid the mudslinging. I want to share light and love on social media regardless of who wins and loses in November.
Because, here's the deal, whatever happens, we are not the enemy we are supposed to fight (see Ephesians 6:12), and really, who ever changed their mind because of a tense and charged Facebook decision? It's pointless and divisive and we all have better things to do with our time.
So it is time for a fun blog post I think. I have been a Twitter user since June 2008… so as someone who has perused this fun social networking site for over a year – I have decided to come up with some ground rules for Twitter. A listing of things that should NEVER EVER be tweeted. Most of these – unfortunately – come from experience. A few of these rules I have even broken myself. But if we will all follow these lovely little rules, the Twitterverse will be much more pleasant to explore.
#1 – The "They just tweeted WHAT?" Rule – Please realize, when Twittering, that there are many many people reading who are visual people. And who see, in their heads, each thing you Tweet. So if you talk about making out with your guy/gal – we see that. Blood and/or pus oozing from a wound – oh dear do we ever see that. Infected nails or itchy rashes of any kind – yea we begin to itch and get nauseous. Your kid vomiting into your open mouth – yea we just threw up a litle. There IS such a thing as TMI – and although it is only you typing these things alone into your computer – we are all reading them and some of us are seeing them all too clearly.
#2 – The "We all love us some TiVo" Rule – So, if you happen to be a live TV watcher – you can really mess our day if you pop on and Twitter information about the guy in the hatch or so-and-so who won the such-and-such reality show or other surprise information. There are subtle ways of expressing just enough information so that those of us in the "know" don't ruin it for those of us just trying to run by Taco Bell and eat before we sit down and get our TV fix. So – be a sensitive tweeter to your friends the TiVo users.
#3 – The "It may be cheaper than $100 an hour" Rule – Although Twitter is awesome, it is no substitute for a good therapist. If you are depressed/upset/lonely/frustrated – there has to be a better "friend" for you to turn to than the 140 character limit, right? Twitter is kind of a fun social networking tool. Some of these tweets are kind of a buzzkill. If you have a legitimate need like an urgent situation that needs prayer – that's cool. It is a quick way to get it out there to a ton of people and get what you need. But some of these tweets are seriously stuff that maybe needs to be discussed with a professional. And along these lines – don't be a passive aggressive tweeter. If you are upset with your boss, your mom, your cousin, your best friend, or your boyfriend – talk to them. Don't tweet your frustration to the rest of us. Again – the term is "social networking" – it's kind of supposed to be fun.
#4 – The "Those are fighting words" Rule – If you tweet something offensive – prepare to offend. If you tweet something political, something inflammatory, something ignorant – be prepared for the backlash. It is amazing to me the people who tweet their point of view in a less than sensitive way who get so upset when people whack at it. Again – although you are alone with your little computer – you aren't the only person in the Twitterverse.
#5 – The "TweetHo a No Go" Rule – For the love people – don't tweet thinly disguised sexual innuendo. It is bad form, bad taste, and you will quickly get a not-so-hot reputation. Just don't do it – if you wouldn't say it in front of your mama – don't tweet it. You girls especially – you are worth MUCH more than that. If you doubt it – contact me – I'd LOVE to talk to you about how incredibly valuable you are.
#6 – The First Date Rule – In Twitter, as in life, you should always put your best face forward. I know you stink, sweat, poop, have warts, gas, zits and issues. Everybody does. HOWEVER – nobody in the Twitterworld wants to hear about it. Let's treat Twitter like a first date – first dates are a hit when they are BIG on fun with as LITTLE drama as possible. We dress up – we smell nice – we are totally well behaved. THEN – people want to have a second date with us. Twitter is like a great first date. So let's keep the yucky intimate details off Twitter.
#7 – The "And Then" Rule – There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. I am a pretty avid Twitter user – and so I'm sure there are people who just don't want to hear my updates anymore. I'm probably as guilty of this one as anyone else, so I understand the desire to tweet – often. I live at home all day with two little munchkins and sometimes Twitter is my lifeline to adult conversation. But there are some times when you need to put your phone/computer down and LIVE LIFE. If you are on a date – don't tweet everything you do. That pretty much shows us, and your date, that you are much more concerned with the Twitterverse than you are with your date. And that kind of stinks for you, for your date, and for us. Same with honeymoons – what are you thinking? I KNOW there are better things for you to be doing with your time than giving us updates. So go LIVE LIFE and give us all a chance to miss you when you're gone.
#8 – The "I Rock" Rule – Try, oh try, to keep the bragging to a minimum. If you are spectacular in some way – that is awesome. If you are the holiest of holy people, the smartest guy on the planet, the best parent in the universe, the most conservative/liberal thinker you know – that is just great for you. And the first or second or third time you tweet about it – we rejoice with you. But we are only human and after the 15th or 16th post – we are bound to roll our eyes a bit. So just keep it within reason. We do, after all, get jealous of your awesomeness.
I guess that's all the rules I can come up with for now. I think Twitter is like chocolate – it is a great thing when used properly and in moderation. Are there any that I've missed my fellow Tweeters?


Jackson, Miss. (June 19, 2018) – The Mississippi State Personnel Board (MSPB) is pleased to announce that 16 government employees representing twelve agencies across the State recently graduated from the Human Resources Certification Program.
The Mississippi Human Resources Certification Program began in 2005 and is administered and delivered by the Mississippi State Personnel Board.

Stay at home: List of help for needy groups, frontliners
Malaysiakini Team
Published 22 Mar 2020, 6:58 am
Modified 4 May 2020, 11:56 am
This story was originally published on March 22. It will be updated to reflect the latest initiatives
CORONAVIRUS | Malaysia's effort to flatten the Covid-19 infections curve has seen the government call into force a movement control order from March 18 to March 31 that has now been extended to April 14.
From Day One the message is for all - who are not involved in any essential services or urgent matters - to stay at home throughout the entire period.
Groups including health care practitioners and journalists out on the field have also taken to social media with a general message that they will go to work so that more can remain at home.
At the same time, various groups and kind-hearted individuals have taken the initiative to support the frontliners on duty, as well as other vulnerable groups stuck at home or are homeless.
Malaysiakini highlights a growing list of efforts by groups and individuals keen to help, or are in need of help.
Since the order was enforced, groups that worked closely with marginalised and at-risk communities have stepped up their efforts to ensure their operations continue, although at a reduced scale.
Other newer initiatives were also set up through crowdsourcing ventures, after taking into account restrictions under the order.
Free meals and grocery delivery
1. Based in Johor Baru, Engage and partner Friends & Strangers: #MakanKongsi produces food vouchers for the needy.
It works with restaurants and food stalls to provide meals to vulnerable communities for the duration of the MCO through food vouchers that are date and meal specified, much like hotel breakfast vouchers.
Restaurants are reimbursed based on the number of vouchers collected, calculated at RM4 per meal.
For the latest updates on #MakanKongsi, visit Engage's Facebook page. NGO Bersih is collaborating with Engage to raise RM200,000 to expand the programme.
2. Local social enterprise PichaEats offers a free meal initiative for refugees, stranded university students and frontliners.
Parties keen to support PichaEat's refugee-run initiative can contribute to its Maybank account.
3. Subang Jaya Gurdwara offers a free meal delivery service for residents around Subang Jaya and Sunway who are unable to cook their own meals due to old age or disabilities.
Contact Amrick Singh: 012-5389061
4. NGO Pertubuhan Warga Prihatin Hulu Langat buys and delivers essential foodstuffs to the needy in Hulu Langat, including Orang Asli and B40 communities.
Support them here.
5. The Gibbon Conservation Society (GCS) is appealing for funds to feed the 12 gibbons under its care.
Based in Pahang, it also needs help feeding its guard dogs.
6. The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) needs help to keep operations alive.
Based in Sepilok, Sabah; it rehabilitated 43 sun bears who were rescued from captivity as pets and the illegal wildlife trade.
7. With the Movement Control Order extended until April 14, concerns arise over the disruption of food supply to one's neighbour such as in Selangor. How about single mothers with children? The disabled or elderly who lie bedridden?
Concerned members of the public can help them by becoming volunteers and reporting their plight to the Selangor Covid-19 Task Force via this online form.
With help from members of the public, aid can be channelled to those in need.
Frontliner support
1. The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) charity arm - the MMA Foundation - is teaming up with e-retailer Shopee to form a fund that would go towards the welfare of healthcare workers affected by the Covid-19 outbreak.
Donations can be channelled through Shopee's app or website. Donations of RM100 and above will come with a receipt for tax exemption purposes.
MMA and MMA Foundation has contributed RM50,000 to kick off the fund.
2. Team 106 is a crowdfunding initiative to support Meals for Medics to supply meals for healthcare workers on duty at the Covid-19 wards, starting from within the Klang Valley first, then all over Malaysia.
Funds raised may also be used to purchase items required by the hospitals.
3. A group of women refugees from Syria, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq are cooking meals for frontline staff at Ampang Hospital until March 31. The initiative is a collaboration between Al-Hasan Volunteer Network and Beyond Borders Malaysia.
4. Individual crowdfunding: To purchase masks, hand sanitisers and feed frontliners on duty.
5. Taking into account the limited supply of face masks and other safety gears, local social enterprise Biji-Biji has teamed up with a group of volunteers to produce protective face shields for Covid-19 frontliners. As part of the process, the group is seeking donations in the form of raw materials to make the face shields.
6. Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) has come up with an innovative 3D printing method capable of creating hundreds of pieces of protective face shields a day for frontliners in the battle against Covid-19.
The university's mechanical engineering faculty creates the facial protectors which are then sent to frontliners nationwide.
Members of the public interested in contributing to UiTM's Covid-19 Special Fund for these 3D printed protective face shields can get further details at the university's Instagram account.
Queries on the initiative and how to donate can also be made to Prof Muhammad Hussain Ismail at +6014-646 8945, Dr Helmi Rashid at +6019-276 5989,and Mohd Izwan at +6018-259 7864.
Several politicians have announced initiatives to assist their constituents, particularly in the distribution of face masks and hand sanitisers, as well as free grocery delivery services.
Constituents living in their respective areas can refer to their elected representatives' individual pages for further details:
1. Port Dickson MP Anwar Ibrahim: Port Dickson residents can contact the service centre representative, Boy Fadzrie at 018-242853 for more details.
2. Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Florence Gertrude de Fonblanque born Florence Gertrude Sparagnapane (22 July 1864 – 2 January 1949) was a British suffragist. She was the "Originator and leader of the women's suffrage march from Edinburgh to London 1912".

Life
Fonblanque was born in London to a family who owned the Sparagnapane Christmas cracker and confectionery business. Her mother was Aurelia Williams and her father was Gaudente Sparagnapane. She was taught in Brussels and at Brighton and like her elder sister, Maud Arncliffe Sennett, she became an actress. She married a fellow actor, Robert Edgar de Grenier de Fonblanque, when she claimed to be 21 but she was actually 26. Her husband bore the titles "marquis of Juliers", "count of Hauteserre", and "count of Fonblanque". However, despite his family descending from a noble French family, these were false titles of nobility, first mistakenly mentioned by Edward Barrington de Fonblanque in a 1874 book.

Like her sister she took an interest in women's suffrage. In 1906 she was living in Duncton near Chichester and over the next few years she joined a number of organisations agitating for women to have the vote.

In 1912 she was a member of the Conservative and Unionist Women's Franchise Association.

The March

Fonblanque decided to mount a march from Edinburgh to London to draw attention to the women's suffrage cause. She initially thought that walking to Edinburgh would be a good idea but it was decided to march from Edinburgh so that the march could end its publicity in London.  Only six women including Agnes Brown and Sarah Benett, who was the Treasurer of the Women's Freedom League set off on 21 October 1912.  Fonblanque's sister and Ruth Cavendish Bentinck helped with the organisation. As they and Fonblanque traveled from Scotland to London they gathered signatures on a petition and coverage in the newspapers. Fonblanque ensure that they were dressed in brown with rosettes and bright green cockades and they were known as the "Brown Women". They followed the route of the A1 and they were joined by dignitaries along the way. On one day near Berwick they walked over 30 miles before the now seven marchers were welcomed by the local member of parliament. Their numbers swelled slowly - when they passed through Grantham in November there were twelve walkers including Fonblanque.

Finally they got to London on 16 November 1912, where Fonblanque's horse and cart were sent back to Scotland. They went by tube to Trafalgar Square where the walkers entered to music. Her sister Maud Arncliffe Sennett had assisted the march by organising a reception for the marchers when they arrived. Sennett was helped with the welcome by the National Political League started by Mary Adelaide Broadhurst and Margaret Milne Farquharson. Sennett takes credit for the walk in one source. Fonblanque was described a year later as 'organiser of the Woman's March from Edinburgh to London'  in The Vote ,  the Women's Freedom League newspaper, describing her as guest speaker on 'Nature and the Soul of Woman's Suffrage.'  Further hikes happened in the U.K.

The month after the Edinburgh to London march Rosalie Gardiner Jones had organized the first American Suffrage Hike which left from The Bronx to Albany, New York.

There were reports that Fonblanque and Ruth Cavendish Bentinck had founded an organisation of non aligned suffragists in 1913. The Qui Vive Corps would wear the brown, green and white uniform described above. It was intended that these would attend any suffrage inspired event. The Qui Vive Corps were involved in campaigning for the Labour Party in Derbyshire and Staffordshire because they objected to the Liberal Party's policy which was against women getting the vote.

Death and legacy
Fonblanque died at her home in Duncton in 1949. She was buried in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Anglican church and she had "Originator and leader of the women's suffrage march from Edinburgh to London 1912" carved on her gravestone at her request.

Board Games That Increase Brain Power
Experts say board games can boost a slew of skills that help kids do better in school. And playing them as a family just ups the benefits—and the fun factor.
By Linda Rodgers
Games are great for kids for different reasons at different ages. For preschoolers, they're a fun way to learn how to "follow rules, focus, take turns, and defer gratification, which helps with self-regulation, the basis of problem-solving and thinking creatively," explains Peter J. Pizzolongo, the senior director of professional development at the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Board games also get bonus points for bringing families together (especially if family dinners are a rare occurrence) and for luring grade-schoolers away from the Wii. And all kids get lessons in decision- making ("Should I buy Boardwalk or save my money?"), consequences ("Ooops—no more cash!"), and strategic thinking ("If I swap two railroads for Boardwalk, I can start buying houses").
So should you set up regular times to play or let your child set the agenda?
"Both," says Pizzolongo. "Let your child come to you, but setting aside a special evening or afternoon gives her a ritual—and predictability and routines are important for kids." For ideas on what to play, read on for the games that get the highest marks from experts.
This card game for two or more players can be aged up (the original, with words, numbers, and colors) or down (with Thomas the Tank Engine or Disney Princess characters), says Shannon Eis, a play and development expert and mom of two. It's good for preschoolers to about age 8 or 9.
How you play it: Shuffle the deck of 108 cards and deal seven to each player. Put the rest of the cards in a pile, and turn one over. The card that's face up is the start of the discard pile; the larger one is the pile you draw cards from. Each person must put down a card that's either the same number or color as the card on the discard pile. There are also wild cards and cards that cause a person to skip her turn, draw more cards, and so on. The first player with no cards wins.
What it teaches kids: Paying attention is a crucial skill in school—and that's just what preschoolers pick up when they focus on the cards and remember to play the same color (or character). Besides reinforcing numbers and colors, Uno also sharpens pattern recognition: your child won't take algebra until eighth grade, but patterns will help her understand the relationship between objects and numbers, which is the basis of algebra. Older kids get lessons in logic, reasoning, and strategy by deciding which cards to throw down now and which to save for the next turn.
Uno, $5.78, from amazon.com
This is another game that can be tailored to preschoolers who don't yet know their letters or numbers, says Eis. You can buy versions that are just shapes, colors, or everyday objects (Zingo), or you can just cut out photos of things that fascinate your little one (cars, say, or animals) from catalogs. Kindergarteners on up can play the classic version with letters and numbers.
How to play: Each player gets a pile of tokens and a card divided into a 25-square grid with 24 numbers and a blank space in the middle and a row on top that spell out "BINGO." The caller picks out numbers from a basket, and calls it out: "B-5," for example, or "I-26." The first player to fill up a row with tokens—either diagonally, horizontally, or vertically—shouts "Bingo!" and wins the game.
What it teaches kids: No matter which version you're playing, your cutie's listening and memory skills will get a workout. Another benefit: she'll practice her ability to visualize shapes and objects (and later, letters and numbers) and then match them on her card, both of which are necessary for learning to read and do math.
Bingo, $5.32, from amazon.com
Where is Sock Monkey?
A cross between Twenty Questions and Clue, this game gives wiggly preschoolers and young grade- schoolers a lesson in deductive reasoning and a chance to race around the house, says Sherry Artemenko, a speech therapist and creator of playonwords.com, an award-winning speech therapy site.
How to play it: One player hides the six-inch sock monkey (which comes with the game) while the other players close their eyes. When the hider returns, the players take turns drawing illustrated cards with yes or no questions—"Is the monkey in a room with a fridge?" "Is it in the living room?"—designed to uncover the monkey's whereabouts. When a player draws the "Go look" card, she must race to a room to find the monkey before the timer goes off.
What it teaches kids: Your preschooler or kindergartner won't be able to read the questions, but she can figure them out from the illustration—a decoding strategy that will come in handy when she learns to read. The game also gives her practice in asking questions, listening for the answers, following directions, and putting clues together—all crucial skills for the classroom.
Where Is Sock Monkey?, $16.99, from amazon.com
Dominoes is another grade-school game that can be scaled down to the preschool level by buying tiles in colors, Disney characters, or animals, instead of the classic tiles marked with dots (like dice) from 0 to 6, says Eis, who's also a contributor to Time to Play.
How to play it: Put the 28 tiles face down on a table and shuffle them. Each player draw seven tiles, and the rest are left in what's known as the "boneyard." The person with the highest double tile goes first, placing the domino on the table. The next player must match one of the halves with a tile containing the same number or character. If a player can't make a match, she has to draw a tile from the boneyard. The player who gets rid of all the dominoes wins. Older kids can play for points—the first one to reach 50 or 100 wins the game.
What it teaches kids: Besides being a good way to get kids to recognize numbers or objects quickly, dominoes is also good at honing a kid's ability to spot patterns, since that's what you need to make a match. The game also sharpens critical thinking and strategy, since older kids must decide how to maximize the number of points.
Dominoes,$13.60, from amazon.com
Richard Scarry's Busytown Eye Found It
This 6-foot-long board game gets kudos from Artemenko and scores of Amazon users, who've made this preschool-friendly game based on cooperation (and the brilliant Busytown books by Richard Scarry) a bestseller.
How to play it: The object of the game is to get all the players onboard the ferry to Picnic Island to eat their lunch before the pigs gobble up the food. In order to do that, each player takes a turn at the spinner, and follows the directions—move four spaces, for instance, or lose a piece of food. When the spinner points to Goldbug, someone flips over the sand timer, and all the players band together to hunt for as many items of the object (shovels, say) listed on the Goldbug card before the sand runs out. Players get bonus moves depending on the number objects they've found on the board.
What it teaches kids: Teamwork pays off, and that's a great lesson for a preschooler or kindergartner who's learning how to work with classmates. The game also reinforces your child's ability to recognize objects and match them on the board, hones her powers of observation, and gives her practice in associating categories with people and actions—for example, learning you'll find shovels and hammers at a construction site.
Richard Scarry's Busytown Game, $19.99, from amazon.com
I Spy Ready to Read
Based on the I Spy books, this board game is actually five games in one, and is geared to kids ages 4 to 6. You may have to help your pre-reader with the riddles at first, says Eis.
How to play: Each player gets a card that has punch-out tokens on one side and four riddles on the other. In the simplest version of the game, players take turns reading from a riddle, finding the object, and punching out the token. After all the tokens are punched out, you can play the game in reverse: Read the riddle, find the object, and put it back in the card. Other versions of the game include a memory game, where kids look for pairs of objects that rhyme.
What it teaches kids: This is another matching game that helps kids practice their visual skills and letter recognition. But even better, this game is based on rhymes, which help your child become more aware of language structure by hearing the syllables in each word and sentence.
I Spy Ready to Read, $15.68, from amazon.com
Connect Four/Connect 4 Launchers
Connect Four and Connect 4 Launchers (an updated version of the classic) provide the right type of challenge for your grade-schooler, who's developmentally ready to become a better strategist, Eis explains. Yes, she's still a sore loser (especially when she plays with you), but she's also learning what she'll need to do to win the game next time around.
How to play it: Connect Four is like a combo of tic-tac-toe and checkers for two players. Each player picks a color, gets their pile of 21 checkers, and then takes turn sliding a checker into a plastic grid. The player who gets four in a row—either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—wins. Connect 4 Launchers lets players launch their checkers onto a two-tiered platform, adding a new element of challenge: Now your child has to send her checker flying in such a way that it hits the right spot on the grid.
What it teaches kids: To win the game, your child has to plan out her moves, so both versions sharpen her abilities to think critically and logically. Plus, she not only has to focus on what she's doing, but on what her opponent is too—a skill known as divided attention.
Connect Four, $20.19, fromamazon.com; Connect 4 Launchers, $26.18, from amazon.com
If your child is too young or too impatient for Scrabble, get her started on this take-and-play-anywhere word game that's great for kids 5 and up.
How to play it: Dump out the 144 letter-tiles face down on the table. Each player takes at least 21 tiles (fewer if you have more than four players) and, after someone yells "Split!", starts to create her own crossword puzzle, racing to finish before the others. When you run out of tiles, yell, "Peel!" and everyone must pick a tile from the bunch in the middle. The player who uses up all the tiles wins— provided there are no more left in the bunch to pick from.
What it teaches kids: Like Scrabble, this fast-paced game is a reading, writing, spelling, and vocabulary booster.
Bananagrams, $14.95, from amazon.com
Animal Mastermind Towers
Making and breaking codes appeal to your grade-schooler's more advanced thinking skills, says Eis. Animal Mastermind Towers is a little-kid-friendlier version of the classic for children 5 to 7.
How to play it: In Animal Mastermind Towers, each player gets four animal tiles and a tower. Players stack the tiles so their opponent can't see; then each takes turns asking yes or no questions ("Is the penguin above the hippo?") to guess the order of the tiles. The object is to break your opponent's code in the fewest number of turns. Older kids will love the classic Mastermind, which involves pegs of different colors.
What it teaches kids: Because your child must remember her opponent's answers, Animal Mastermind Towers helps boost memory as well as deductive skills ("If the penguin isn't below the hippo but above the giraffe, maybe the order is giraffe, penguin, hippo, lion!"). Making up a code teaches strategy, a useful skill for helping your child decide how to tackle any situation, in the classroom or on the playground.
Animal Mastermind Towers, $11.11, from amazon.com
Angry Birds Knock on Wood
The smartphone version has been downloaded 350 million times, and if your 5- to 8-year-old is a fan, you might want to lure her offline for this hands-on, cooperative version.
How you play it: Like the app, the object of the game is to catapult birds at a structure and knock it down. Players work together to build the structures according to the directions on the mission cards; then each player takes a turn launching the birds with a slingshot.
What it teaches kids: Building the structures requires teamwork, which is great for kids learning to work together in small groups. Copying the structure from the cards means your child get practice following directions, recognizing patterns, and perfecting her fine-motor skills.
Angry Birds Knock on Wood, $33.50, from amazon.com
By the time your child is in third grade, she's mastered the basics, so what she needs now are games that teach her patience, persistence, and flexibility, says Eis.
How to play it: Players scoot along the board, buying up property, building houses, and amassing as much play-money cash as possible. The object is to become the richest player by bankrupting your opponents. Along the way are chance cards that can change a player's luck. Monopoly Junior is a scaled-back version for kids 5 to 8, with amusement park rides and ticket booths instead of properties and houses.
What it teaches kids: Besides giving kids practice in making change, Monopoly is a fun way to teach such grown-up concepts as saving, budgeting, and financial planning. Plus the random element ("Go directly to jail!") teaches your child how to adapt to sudden changes.

Rory's Story Cubes
Sometimes it's good to play open-ended games that don't involve winning. This game has the added benefit of getting your child ready to write more complex stories, says Artemenko. It's recommended for kids 8 and up, but younger ones can play too.
How to play it: The game comes with nine six-sided cubes, all of which have a sketch—aliens, eyes, keys, chat balloons, wands, flashlights, and more—on each side. Roll the cubes and make up a story based on the sketches that appear face up.
What it teaches kids: The sketches are abstract enough that your child can interpret them any way she wants, which is great for spurring her imagination. She'll also learn to create stories with beginning, middles, and endings, turn something abstract into something more concrete, and how to spin an entertaining story.

This game, unlike any other, helps a child visualize a grid as she figures out how to sink her opponent's ships, explains Eis. You can even play the game with pencil, paper, and graph paper. A two-person game, it's best for kids 8 and older.
How to play it: Each player gets a board with two grids—one for keeping track of her opponent and the other for hiding ships—five ships of different lengths, and two different colored pegs. Players take turns firing of their shots: You call out a number and letter on the grid. Your opponent must say if you've scored a hit or missed; you mark each miss with a white peg and each hit with a red one. The player who sinks all her opponent's ships first, wins.
What it teaches kids: It takes a certain amount of cunning to hide all five ships in such a way that make them difficult to find, so logic, planning, and reasoning all come into play here, as do deductive powers, problem-solving, and memory.

Teachers and child education experts love Scrabble, which is why you'll find it in every classroom, especially once your child hits third and fourth grades.
How to play it: Place all 100 letter-tiles in a bag, and let each player get seven tiles, which are arranged on a tile board. Players take turns creating words on the board; one letter of each new word must connect to a previous word. Since each letter is worth a certain amount of points, the object is to create words with the highest point value. The player with the most points wins.
What it teaches kids: Not only does Scrabble help your child with reading, vocabulary, and spelling, but it teaches math (she has to keep adding up her points), problem-solving and strategy (she has to plot how to get the biggest bang from a word), and is great for boosting her attention span and long- term memory, which help her test-taking and study skills.

Experts say board games can boost a slew of skills that help kids do better in school. And playing them as a family factor.

Quirky Discipline Rules That Work
Tired of nagging and scolding? Try these 7 surprising solutions
By Barbara Rowley
I've made a lot of bad rules in the decade I've been a mom, from irrational threats ("No graham crackers in the house ever again if you eat them in the living room even one more time") to forbidding human nature ("You may not fight with your sister"). But occasionally I've come up with rules that work better than I'd ever contemplated. These made-up rules have an internal logic that defies easy categorization, but their clarity and enforceability make them work. Several of them are not, technically, rules at all, but declarations of policy or fact. And they're all easy to remember. A few personal favorites, plus those of other moms:
Rule #1: You can't be in the room when I'm working unless you work, too
Goal: Get your child to help, or stop bugging you, while you do chores
It might seem odd, but I don't mind doing laundry, cleaning floors, or really any kind of housework. But I do mind my kids, oblivious to the fact that my arms are full of their underwear, asking me to find their missing doll shoe or do a puzzle with them. Until recently, this was a source of great frustration, especially when our household grew to five kids when my husband, Taylor, and I became temporary foster parents for two months.
I tried to explain to my expanded brood that if they helped me fold laundry, we could do something together sooner. But they knew I'd be available anyway if I finished folding myself, so the argument wasn't compelling.
And then one day, as my oldest foster daughter sat and watched me work, asking me favors and waiting for me to be done, I came up with a rule that takes into account two important facts about kids:
* They actually want to be with you as much as possible.
* You can't force them to help you in any way that is truly helpful.
I played fact one against fact two and told her that she didn't have to help me but couldn't just sit and watch. She had to go elsewhere. Given a choice between being with me and folding laundry or not being with me at all, she took option one.
Why it works: I didn't care which she chose. And it was her choice, so it gave her control even as it took it away.
No more late nights
Rule #2: I don't work past 8 p.m.
Goal: Regular bedtimes and time off for you
You can't just announce a rule to your husband and kids that says, "Bedtime has to go really smoothly so I can get a break at the end of the day." It won't happen. But if you flip the problem and make a rule about you instead of telling everyone what they have to do, it all falls neatly — and miraculously — into place.
When this occurred to me, back when my oldest was 6 and my youngest was nearly 2, I announced to Anna and Taylor that the U.S. Department of Labor had just created a new rule and I was no longer allowed to do any kind of mom	jobs past 8:00 in the evening. I would gladly read books, play games, listen to stories of everyone's day, give baths — the whole mother package — before then. Then I held firm — I acted as if it were out of my hands. Sort of like Cinderella and midnight.
Suddenly, my 6-year-old (and my husband) developed a new consciousness of time. My daughter actually rushed to get ready for bed just after dinner so that we could have lots of books and time together before I was "off." My husband, realizing that if things dragged past 8:00 he'd have to face putting both girls to sleep himself, became more helpful. Anna's now 11, and my hours have been extended, but the idea that I'm not endlessly available has been preserved and integrated into our family routine.
Rule #3: You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit
Goal: No more haggling — over which pretzel has more salt or who gets their milk in the prized red cup and who in the cursed green, or which cast member of Blue's Clues adorns whose paper plate.
My friend Joyce, director of our town's preschool, told us about this terrific rule, now repeated by everyone I know on playgrounds and at home. Not only does it have a boppy rhythm that makes it fun to say, but it does good old "Life isn't fair" one better by spelling out both the essential truth of life's arbitrary inequities and the only acceptable response to the world's unfairness: You don't throw a fit.
When I first heard this, I was skeptical. It seemed too simple. But to my utter surprise, not only did it do the trick but kids seemed to rally around it almost with relief. They must have seen that if it applied to them today it might apply to someone else tomorrow.
Why it works: It's irrefutable — it almost has the ring of runic or prehistoric truth to it — and rather than focusing on an abstract notion like "fairness," it speaks directly to the situation at hand.
Rule #4: Take that show on the road
Goal: Peace and quiet
Is it just me or does someone saying "one-strawberry, two-strawberry, three-strawberry" over and over in a squeaky voice make you want to smash some strawberries into a pulpy mess? I want my kids to be gleefully noisy when they need and want to be. But I don't feel it's necessary that I be their audience/victim past a few minutes or so, or that I should have to talk (shout?) over their, um, joyous clamor when I'm on the phone. So once I've shown attention adequate to their display, I tell them that they're free to sing, bang, chant, or caterwaul to their hearts' content, just not here. The same goes for whining, tantrums, and generic pouting.
For the irrational and long-winded whining jags sometimes used by her 4-year-old son, my friend Denise has turned this rule to a pithy declaration: "I'm ready to listen when you're ready to talk." She then leaves the room.
Why it works: It gives children a choice rather than a prohibition and does so without rejecting them.
No money, no problems
Rule #5: We don't argue about money
Goal: Short-circuit begging and pleading for stuff
This rule has to be enforced consistently to work, but the basic deal is that you can tell your child yes or no on any requested purchase, but you don't discuss it. If your child protests, s mply repeat, calmly, like a mantra, that you won't argue about money. The key to success is that you have to have the courage of your convictions and not argue. Thus the calm repetition.
It cuts both ways, though: When your kids want to spend their "own" money, point out potential mistakes and give advice on the purchase if you'd like, but at the end of the day, don't overrule them unless it's a matter of health or safety. After all, you don't argue about money. They may make some bad choices, but they'll learn. And you'll all enjoy shopping together a lot more.
Why it works: It shifts the focus from the whined-for treat to financial policy. You're almost changing the topic on them, no longer debating why they should or shouldn't have gum or some plastic plaything and, instead, invoking a reasonable-sounding family value.
Rule #6: I can't understand you when you speak like that
Goal: Stopping whining, screaming, general rudeness
This one requires almost religious consistency of application to work effectively. But, essentially, you simply proclaim incomprehension when your child orders (rather than asks) you to do something, whines, or otherwise speaks to you in a way you don't like. Whispering this helps; it takes the whole thing down a notch on the carrying-on scale. This is a de-escalation tool, so calmly repeat the rule a few times and don't get lured into raising your voice. A child who's whining or being rude is clearly seeking attention and drama, so use this as a way to provide neither.
Why it works: It empowers your child by suggesting he has something valuable to say (if he says it nicely) and allows you to completely invalidate (i.e., ignore) the rude presentation.
Rule #7: There's no such thing as boredom
Goal: Prevent your child from saying "I'm bored"; teach her to entertain herself
A friend of mine says this is one of the few things he got right with his kids. The first time his older daughter claimed she was bored he simply denied that the thing existed. Now he sometimes adds: "There's no such thing as boredom, only failure of the imagination" or "…only mental laziness." Surprisingly he's never gotten the "There is too boredom!" argument, only an exasperated "Da-ad." Regardless of the phrasing, the result is the same: The burden of amusement lands directly on your child, which is precisely where you want it.
Why it works: By the time your kids have figured out the puzzle of how something that exists can also not exist, they won't be bored. Also, it changes the terms of debate, from a challenge for you (list all my toys, then cave in and let me watch TV) to one for them. Besides — if your child learns how to entertain herself, there truly is no such thing as boredom. And that's a gift that will last all her life.

No More Whining!
By Julie Tilsner
When it comes to torture, we could all learn a thing or two from kids. Who knows better than they how to extract most anything they want within minutes of applying the technique? I'm talking about whining, of course — that grating mewling that causes us to do anything (anything!) just to make it go away. But you can break the habit. And the rewards of victory can be rich for both of you.
Why they do it: Early talkers whine like babies cry. Some experts say that whining tends to peak in a child's development when she's feeling out of control and overwhelmed — emotions that pretty much sum up toddlerhood. She lacks the vocabulary to articulate her frustrations, and that whimpering is the natural default noise.
Certain triggers, such as hunger and fatigue, can also cause breakdowns (true for kids of all ages), so keep that in mind the next time you take your toddler grocery shopping close to naptime.
How to stop it: Patience becomes the first rule when confronted with these early bouts of whining. When her son, Matthew, who's almost 3, melts down because he can't wait ten more minutes for dinner, Rae Sullivan of Durham, North Carolina, gives him a little extra attention, like five minutes of lap or snuggle time. Those five minutes are well spent if it means she can finish cooking without another whinefest. Tossing him a few crackers to eat in the meantime doesn't hurt, either.
"A lot of toddlers don't even know they're whining," says Sheila Oliveri, a mom of three and a nursery school teacher in St. Louis. So give your little complainer an exaggerated demonstration: "Whyyyyyy are you taaaalkingg like thaaaaaat?" The result will be twofold: "You'll show her exactly how irritating whining is," says Oliveri, "and you may make her laugh, which will make her forget why she was complaining in the first place."
Or try recording your child. Play it back to her so she knows what she sounds like, and work with her on better ways to ask for the things she wants or needs.
Why they do it: Like toddlers , the 3-to-5 set has a low threshold for frustration. Plus, they're going through a lot of changes — such as starting school, facing a new baby sib, or graduating to a big-kid bed-that make them extra hungry for your attention, even if it's the negative kind.
How to stop it: The great thing about preschoolers is that they can still be distracted by a clever trick. For instance, Debbie Granick of St. Louis uses a "whine" cup, or bowl or bucket or whatever's at hand. "Whenever one of them starts, I say, 'Here, go pour out your whine and bring me your regular voice.' It gets a smile, or at least that 'Oh, Mom' look, and then they'll usually change their tone." She then
thanks her child for using a "pleasant" voice.
Or whisper your answer back. "You may have to whisper it several times, but your child will have to be quiet to hear you, and a lot of times he'll mimic your tone of voice," says Karen Shaffer, a mom of three in Highland, California.
By the time they're 4, most kids are able to understand that their behavior has consequences. So you can start using the "I can't understand you when you whine" technique.
"When my children complain, I say, 'I'm sorry, but when you talk in that voice, I can't understand anything you're saying. Use your normal voice and I'll try to listen to you.' Then I ignore them until they start to comply," says Audrey Smith, a mom of two in Long Beach, California. It works, she says, but you have to be as consistent as possible.
And that's not easy, as we all know. Who among us hasn't caved in? Trouble is, if your child sees you can be broken, he'll simply up the ante, and your whining problem will be worse.
Besides being consistent, look for ways to reinforce the behavior you do want, like thanking him when he repeats his request in a polite tone.
Grade-schoolers
Why they do it: Besides whining when they're tired or hungry, kids grumble when they're asked to do things they don't want to do (insert your chore of choice) or when they're bored. Whining is learned behavior, and by the time a kid is in elementary school, she's a pro.
How to stop it: Some moms swear by sending their child to the "whine" room as soon as she starts. Sending her away-to the corner of the living room, say, and letting her vent aloud to herself-spares you from having to listen to it and may help the offender understand what she sounds like.
Shaffer has another tactic when her school-age kids start in. "Every whine costs them a nickel, to be deposited in a special jar," she says. "Then we give the money to the charity box at church on Sunday."
When you're out in public, you can head off most whining by establishing some rules before you leave. My two kids know that there's every possibility of a small candy or sticker purchase if they make Mommy's trip to Target as pleasant as possible. They also know that the moment they start complaining in that tone of voice, the deal's off. Sometimes my 5-year-old slips up, but my 8-year-old has this rule down cold.
It bears keeping in mind that everyone whines — moms and dads, too. But our kids model their behavior on ours, so the next time you're griping about soccer-practice schedule, take a minute to listen to yourself and then go put a nickel in the whine jar. Your child will be impressed.

Thanks to James for organising, and to all of you who came; with 32 on each course, lots of orienteering was done, and it was a lovely warm summer's evening pretty much everywhere except in the shady assembly area. Sorry about that!
Very much ladies to the fore, with Laura back from the European Championships to record the fastest time on both courses, and Beth and Claire both in podium-bothering form.

Revenue Below Expectations for Surface Transforms
By The Brake Report December 16, 2021 Updated: December 16, 2021 No Comments3 Mins Read
KNOWSLEY, U.K. – Surface Transforms, the U.K. manufacturer of carbon brake discs, just released information on the year ending Dec. 31, which discussed revenue below £3 million. The following is from the report released Dec. 14; the entirety of which can be viewed by clicking HERE.
Surface Transforms (AIM:SCE), manufacturers of carbon fiber reinforced brake discs, announces the below trading and operations update and progress with OEM 8.
Manufacturing Strategy Revealed by Surface Transforms
Trading Revenue Below Expectations for Surface Transforms and operations update
The Board of Surface Transforms is disappointed to advise that despite considerable growth against prior year, revenue for the year ending 31 December 2021 will be below £3m, significantly short of market expectations. The shortfall has mainly been as a result of delays in the final commissioning of the upscaled production capacity at Knowsley (in relation to OEM Production Cell One) and the associated start of the anticipated upscaling of commercial revenues expected from December.
Whilst this capacity program progressed considerably during the year, a series of minor startup challenges has caused output delay, resulted in Q4 output missing target. By December, these issues have been narrowed down to an issue with one particularly complex furnace, which the Board believe will be fully resolved imminently. Given December is a short month, the Company is unlikely now to recover the sales gap in this financial year.
It is important to note that these sales have not been lost, the key OEM customers have not seen any impact and the revenue gap, whilst proportionately large in 2021, is small in relation to overall 2022 volumes and is expected to be recovered progressively through Q1 and Q2 2022.
The Board recognize that the short-term effect of this is disappointing, but as noted above, believe these operational issues will all be satisfactorily resolved in short order. Accordingly, the Board intend to provide a further operations update in January 2022 and also to provide quarterly updates for a period of time to reassure the market in respect of revenue performance alignment with future market expectations.
Progress on OEM 8
As previously notified, the Company won a lifetime £27.5m sales contract with an expected maturity level of £8m sales per year, commencing, (later than planned) in 2022, with a customer described as OEM 8. Again, as previously announced, the order intake for this car has greatly exceeded the customers original volume expectations and they have been in discussions with all the supply chain to explore the capacity availability for significant volume increases.
Further contact awards
The Company is pleased to report continuing progress being made on further contract awards and expects to make a further announcement in the near future.

Wool Vs Nylon Carpet: Which Is Best For You?
It's the age old question of carpet: which is better – wool or nylon? Homeowners inevitably grapple with that question when the time comes to recarpet their homes. And the truth is, both varieties of carpet have a lot going for them. So we thought we would put together a quick guide to choosing between wool and nylon carpet. As you're reading it, there's one thing you need to consider: what's your priority? When you know your own priorities, the choice between two great products will be much easier!
Wool carpet has thousands of years of history behind it ¬– wool, of course, being the oldest human-used fibre. But that's not what makes it so great for carpet. What makes wool a great material for carpet is its inimitable appearance and texture. Wool offers a truly unique finish, and we think that is worth a strong mention in the wool vs nylon carpet fight. In addition to its appearance, wool stacks up admirably in terms of durability as well. It resists dirt and soil well, and it last a long time. However, it is expensive; price is probably the main drawback of wool carpet.
Nylon carpet offers durability and toughness quite unlike any other. It resists water well, it resists stains well, and it is hard to wear down by foot traffic alone. These qualities place nylon carpet well in the wool vs nylon stakes. It is also affordable; nylon is a polymeric material, which is easy to produce and extraordinarily hard wearing. However, being man-made, nylon doesn't quite have that multidimensional and unique appearance that wool does. For some homeowners, that can be a bit of a shortcoming.
If you're recarpeting that one high-traffic hall in your home for the fifth time, nylon is probably for you. Unavoidably, some areas of our homes bear the brunt of our foot traffic. And normally, the carpet in that area ends up revealing this. Nylon carpet is the toughest option, so it's well suited for those high traffic parts of the house. It will last longer than most other varieties of carpet, and may just save you money on recarpeting in the long term.
If comfort, and appearance are your biggest priorities, wool carpet is sure to tick the relevant boxes. It is luxurious in both its appearance, and its underfoot feel. That means wool carpet is ideal for those more comfortable parts of the house, like the bedroom. And you needn't worry about durability. Although wool is not quite on the same level as nylon in terms of durability, it stands up well to foot traffic. It also hides dirt effectively. Unlike nylon, wool fibres are opaque. This means the carpet reflects less light, and therefore makes dirt harder to spot.
So wool or nylon: what carpet is best? It really depends on your individual circumstances!
So there you have it: the question of wool vs nylon carpet is really one for you to answer. Both these carpet types play to their strengths, and you should too! By looking closely at what you really need from your carpet, you can make the best choice for you. All you need to do is pay attention to the details, like budget, appearance, and foot traffic. And as always, don't be afraid to ask the experts!

Snow Plow Insurance Delaware. If you run a business that offers snow removal in DE, then you provide a valuable service to your community that's likely quite profitable at certain times of the year. But are you fully protected from any sort of liability that might be cast on your company if you cause an accident, damage someone else's property or someone slips and falls?
If you offer snow removal services, you are typically required by local and state laws to maintain commercial snow plow insurance Delaware, or you may be contractually obligated by your client to provide this insurance. Either way, it protects your business from financial fallout if something goes awry during the course of snow plowing.
Snow plow insurance Delaware protects your plowing operation from lawsuits with rates as low as $317/mo. Get a fast quote and your certificate of insurance now.
Snow plow insurance Delaware provides a buffer of protection between your business and your snow removal activities. So much can go wrong when you are removing snow. Snow creates a blanket on the ground that can disguise the layout of the landscape or even cover items of value that you can't see while you plow. This can lead to accidental damage to the property of the client for whom you are plowing. For example, if a thick blanket of snow is covering a feature in someone's driveway, and you plow into it and hit the buried object, you can be found liable for replacing or repairing it. Likewise, if you cause a huge mess on your client's property, you can be held liable for repairing grass or sod that you've damaged, which cuts into your profits.
With snow plow insurance Delaware in place, your business interests and your property both receive protection. In the event of a claim being lodged against your business, this insurance kicks in and provides legal fees and payouts on your behalf. In the event of damage to your own equipment or vehicles used during snow removal, those losses can be mitigated if you are covering your plowing equipment.
A business owner's policy, often referred to as a BOP policy, provides protection against liability, property and loss of income. A general BOP policy provides general liability to cover losses caused by your business, including bodily or personal injury, property damage, and even advertising injury claims. Snow plow insurance Delaware replaces property damaged. This policy is a good option as a basic type of coverage for your snow plowing business.
Commercial truck insurance covers your snow plow or the equipment used to haul it to your work site. It can also cover your commercial truck that's outfitted with a snow plow for seasonal use. This snow plow insurance Delaware should be maintained on your commercial vehicles year round, not just during the busy season.
Worker's compensation insurance is valuable protection for your employees. If you work on your own, this may not be an issue, but if you have people working for you, then worker's comp provides money to your employees who are hurt or become ill due to something that occurs on the job. It can pay medical costs and even pay lost wages for covered events. This is required for all non owner employees in DE.
How Much Does DE Snow Plow Insurance Cost?
Utilize the services of a commercial agent to find the best snow plow insurance Delaware for your needs. Your agent can help you understand the different variances between regular business insurance and snow plowing insurance and help you make a determination as to the levels of coverage that you need to have in place at all times. In addition, your agent can compare rates on DE snow plow insurance with more than one insurer, so you get a snapshot of the availability and the prices of policies with more than one company - getting the most for your business' dollars.
