Mind your kids

0 Comments | New Straits Times, Jul 29, 2010 | by Hayati Nordin

I JUST read the front-page news “Reunited after ordeal” (NST, July 28) and saw the picture of a happy mother and her two daughters.

Why were they so happy? Because they were reunited after the daughters were abducted and abandoned 20km away in pitch darkness at 11.30pm on Monday. This was in Liman Kati, Kuala Kangsar.

Why did it happen? The mother left the two sleeping beauties in an unlocked car with the engine running to go into a shop for a moment.

How many times have we read of similar incidents? Endless times, until we have lost track of them all. It puzzles me why parents keep doing this despite being warned by police after every incident.

These days, a split second can make a whole world of difference; it can result in death or rape. Some children are forever gone like Tin Shong Sheng, 7, who went missing in 1996 near his school.

The mother in Kuala Kangsar should thank God for sparing her the agony. There’s a lesson to be learned

Students Appear to Be First to Hop on CyberhuntLIVE

PR Newswire, April 27, 2010

PHOENIX, April 27 /PRNewswire/ — CyberhuntLIVE, a patent-pending online treasure hunt game where players can win up to $5000 per week, seems to have great appeal to college students.

Players log in whenever they have time, over the course of a week, to play the game and win cash.”

The company has also built an Independent Business Developer program, which allows people to earn money selling subscriptions to the site and game sponsorships.

Package holidays make comeback

Package holidays make comeback

0 Comments | Evening Times; Glasgow (UK), Jun 14, 2010

package holidays to sun-kissed beach resorts are enjoying a resurgence as families bid to avoid flight cancellations and the fear of airlines going bust.

Despite the volcanic ash cloud disruption and a series of BA cabin crew strikes, the number of passengers taking chartered flights increased by 5.3%, according to BAA.

Industry analysts claim travellers see package holidays as a relatively safe option while the pound’s poor rate against the euro has also driven a preference for all-inclusive trips.

An Abta spokesman said: “There is recognition that you get financial security with a package holiday if companies go out of business.”

The rise of resorts in Egypt and Turkey has also helped reverse a long-term decline in package holidays that had seen tourists opt instead for do-it-yourself trips, he added.

KBM Building Services Announces Merger with Knightly Building Services, LLC

Business Wire, July 23, 2008

Combined Companies Maintain Private Ownership and Local Management

SAN DIEGO — KBM Building Services, one of San Diego’s leading professional contract janitorial companies, has announced a merger with Knightly Building Services, LLC of Spring Valley, CA, according to Maureen Gray, CEO of KBM Building Services and Robert Janica, founder of Knightly Building Services, LLC. The terms of the merger were not disclosed.

Knightly will become a division of KBM Building Services, and its management team will remain in place, according to Gray. Knightly was founded in 2002 by Janica, who had previously been a high level executive in the hotel and resort industry for more than 10 years. Knightly specializes in providing commercial cleaning services to the highest profile hotel properties in San Diego with an emphasis in cleaning kitchen and restaurants facilities located throughout a hotel property. The company delivers integrated facility management services including professional janitorial services, cleaning consulting, construction clean up and a wide range of detailing services and other outsourcing services.

KBM Building Services provides a premier level of sustainable commercial cleaning services to many of the western United States highest profile office buildings, production and manufacturing facilities, retail centers and home owners’ associations. KBM is an award winning company defined by unparalleled customer service and employee satisfaction. The company offers a vast array of services including but not limited to janitorial services, day porters, floor and carpet maintenance, pressure washing, window washing, construction, tenant improvements, help desk, clean room and bio-tech glass wash staffing and construction clean up. “This is an ideal merger for KBM, with Knightly bringing to us an extraordinary expertise in the hospitality industry,” said Gray. “We are two strong regional companies that together can maintain a competitive edge in the San Diego region.”

“KBM’s corporate culture, business ethics and company values were in line with ours at Knightly,” said Janica. “KBM has been the industry leader in our market, and we felt that its level of quality and customer service were second to none. It will be an exciting marriage of two great companies.”

In recent years, regulators in California and other states have stepped up oversight of janitorial companies and how they treat their employees. KBM has been steadfast in their founding commitment of maintaining a top work environment and exercising best business practices. The company has been named one of San Diego’s Best Places to Work in both 2006 and 2007 by the San Diego Business Journal. Both companies believe that this merger will solidify their commitment of becoming a role model in the janitorial industry.

KBM has also won industry acclaim for its embrace of the ManageMen Operating System One (OS1[R]), a unique sustainable cleaning program that transforms custodial programs through in-depth training, simplicity, safety, reallocation of labor, cleaning frequencies, automation and environmental stewardship in all facets of the operation. (OS1[R]) is recognized as the leader in sustainable cleaning processes and is the only organization to date that has obtained best practices benchmarks and scientifically verified statistics for a cleaning process. By focusing on these key factors KBM, which has employed the (OS1[R]) methodology since 1998, is able to efficiently reduce many problems associated with traditional custodial operations. Some of the leading (OS1[R]) users include Qualcomm, Northrop Grumman, The Boeing Company, Sandia National Laboratories, FBI Headquarters at Quantico and the University of Texas, among others.

Modi to copy Mao’s healthcare system [Ahmedabad]

0 Comments | Times of India, The, Jul 22, 2010

GANDHINAGAR: It’s not China’s special economic zones that chief minister Narendra Modi wants to replicate in Gujarat. The state government has taken a leaf out of the Chinese cultural revolution of late 1960s, when Mao Zedong formally attacked “western trained” medical system and floated the concept of ‘barefoot doctors’.

The health ministry has decided to compensate for sharp shortage of allopathic doctors in the state by making large-scale appointment of barefoot doctors, even as making massive investments in the ayurvedic and homeopathic sectors.

Soon after the weekly Cabinet meeting, government spokesperson Jay Narayan Vyas said, “We have identified 102 urban health centres, each catering to a population of 50,000, where barefoot doctors will work”. Incidentally, China abolished barefoot doctors system in 1981 after the Maoist phase ended.

To be called ‘Usha workers’, Gujarat’s barefoot doctors will undergo a short training course in providing basic health facilities, to be given in government health centres. “To be mainly women, there will be one barefoot doctor for every 2,000 population living in slum areas,” Vyas said, adding, “The model will closely follow appointment of 27,000 community health workers currently working in rural areas, one for every 1,000 population.”

Mao had sharply criticised the “urban bias” of medical system, changing China’s health policy in 1968 and integrated the barefoot doctors programme into national policy. It is still not known who will train Gujarat’s barefoot doctors, whose outlines have been worked out by state health commissioner VL Joshi. Vyas, who is also health minister, admitted Gujarat would face severe shortage of doctors even as it takes up a huge healthcare check-up of 1.34 crore children in the age group 0-14.

In order to promote local medical system, the government allocated Rs 304 crore for promoting Ayurveda. An ayurvedic medical college and hospital and a training centre will start next to Gandhinagar at Kolavda village with an investment of Rs 152 crore. The Maniben Ayurvedic Hospital in Ahmedabad will get an aid of Rs 8 crore. New ayurvedic hospitals will be set up for Rs 26 crore, even as upgrading present ones for Rs 16 crore. Ayurvedic pharmacy will get Rs 3 crore grant

So what can you

By admin July 29th, 2010, under Uncategorized

So what can you do to maximize returns and stop worrying?

First of all, know this?Yellow Pages Advertising has incredible potential. As a business owner, you have few other ways to reach prospects who are as targeted, and ready to buy as these. But naturally? your success depends on the quality of your ad. And when it comes to ad content, far too many advertisers are quite simply? lost.

?The red-hot commodity of the Information Age? Why that would be the Yellow Pages? It?s like shooting fish in a barrel.?

Fortune July, 2003

There are few places to turn. It makes for an unpleasant situation for the honest businessperson trying to harness the tremendous potential of such a perfectly targeted medium. And so, most advertisers rely on the Yellow Pages design department, who, as it turns out, develop most of the ads in their directory.

It?s hard to differentiate your company if that?s the case, don?t you think?

That situation doesn?t need to be one that you find yourself in. While many advertisers fail to develop an ad that draws a strong response, it?s not especially difficult to do.

In the early nineties

By admin July 29th, 2010, under Uncategorized

In the early nineties I had the opportunity to work with some of the most famous movie stars in the world. As a manager and personal trainer of Kathy Smith?s health club I experienced first hand the secrets to the stars. Here are a few things they did to look like they do:

1. They never ate: One out of every four I would say had some sort of eating disorder. If they ate they thought they would get fat, or worse yet, NOT get the job!

2. They would only workout when they needed a job: They only thing that motivated them to exercise was how much the next job would pay them.

3. They had great plastic surgeons: If the weight didn?t come off naturally, they had a backup plan.

4. They exercised everyday only to crash and burn in the end! The only way they new how to go about it was full out for as long as they could.

5. They all had personal trainers: None of them had the motivation to do it on their own.

While you may be saying right now, that I am only joking about the five, but I am not.
