Elephantine Island of the Nile River
Known to the Ancient Egyptians as Abu or Yabu, meaning elephant, Elephantine Island is a truly ancient site resting as it does at the First Cataract of the Nile, and creating a natural boundary between Egypt and Nubia.
Being the largest island at Aswan, it was easily defensible and at one time was thought to be a major ivory trading centre, possibly giving rise to its name. But rumour has it the name may also arise from the elephant-shaped granite boulders lying around its shores.
It is said that Khnum, the ram-headed god of the cataracts, dwelled in caves beneath the island and controlled the waters of the Nile. Nowadays, the southern tip of the island holds the ruins of the Temple of Khnurn, which was rebuilt in the 30th dynasty. Up until 1822, there were also temples to Thutmose III and Amenhotep III here, but the Ottoman government in their wisdom destroyed them.
Elephantine is an exquisite island, steeped in ancient history and blessed with significant artefacts. Transported instantly back in time, you wander under banana trees and date palms through colourful Nubian villages with narrow, dusty alleyways and mud houses painted or carved with crocodiles and fish.
On the edge of the island is one of the oldest Nilometers in Egypt. It is a stone `yardstick’ used to measure the height of the River Nile. It was last reconstructed in Raman times and was still in use as late as the 19th century. Its 90 steps, leading down to the river, are marked with Hindu-Arabic, Roman and hieroglyphic numerals, and inscriptions carved deep into the rock during the 17th century can be seen at the water’s edge.
Elephantine Island is a green, flower-festooned oasis of calm lapped by the turquoise waters of the Nile and clinging quietly to its exotic past.

Alexanders Fun Suggestions To Abide By When You Are Choosing Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo is a grass that grows about 1 to 3 feet a day when it is at its top growth cycle. It can reach up to 125 feet or more and become 2 feet in diameter. Bamboo reaches maturity when five to six years old ; at that time it stops growing and is ready to be cropped. Bamboo does not have to be replanted as it regenerates itself.
Most bamboo designed for flooring and other such products comes from forests in Asian countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The government owns the majority of the bamboo forests in China, which is also the key worldwide producer for bamboo products.
Giant pandas, which eat bamboo, are in no way deprived of their food substance thanks to the cropping of bamboo for flooring. This is due to the fact that giant pandas don’t eat the same species of bamboo that is made use of for flooring and other products containing bamboo. Pandas basically live in diverse provinces and at much higher elevations than the areas which contain bamboo forests for flooring and other products. Pandas don’t live in the eastern provinces of China where the best bamboo is located.
There are two foremost colors of bamboo : natural and carbonized ( or fumed ). The natural bamboo is actually lightened to make its light color, whereas bamboo which has been carbonized experiences a heating process which darkens the wood to a dark caramel color. However, both natural and carbonized bamboo may have many diverse shades.
The more expensive bamboo flooring products provide a new type of bamboo flooring ideas that has been stained. There’s even a custom hand-scraped bamboo which is utilized in floors. This kind of bamboo mixes the country appearance of hand scraping with a unique stain and finish. This give bamboo a very fashionable new look.
Confessions of a European Event Manager
Introduction
When a company or organisation wants to put on a conference or large event, it is unlikely they would consider doing it themselves. Most companies do not have all the necessary in-house expertise, and releasing personnel from their usual work could be less cost efficient than bringing in the experts. There is also a great deal more to organising a conference than most people would realise in that it is a very stressful and technical activity. The client therefore would usually call in another company that specialises entirely in conference and event management.
There are a great many companies offering Corporate Event Management Services so competition is keen. Even if you are the best you still have to compete with others who offer lower prices and might appear to be less expensive. One of the ways of countering the cut throat business in the UK is to look at offering Conference Production Services in Europe. European managers then have the option of using a UK or EU company to provide for their Conference or Event. UK conference services are more than able to offer competitive prices. In the current economic climate with the pound at its lowest value for many years, UK companies have a distinct advantage in the EU market. .
I plan to take you through a step by step account of the stages of managing an event in Europe using examples from a recent contract in Rome.
Step 1
As a company offering conference and event management services it is vital that the quality of service provided is professional and value for money. To this end attention to detail is paramount. The project manager will know his team and the quality and reliability of the technical staff, the quality of the electronic equipment and the soundness of the sets that are used. Once these issues are in place and proven on previous jobs then the pitch to the client can be confident and knowledgeable so that the client can be reassured things will run smoothly. If you can trust your team to do a good job then the client can trust you to do a good job.
Step 2
The Brief
The brief we were given was a three and a half day conference event in Rome in early February for approximately 150 international delegates attending, the majority of whom would be travelling from the USA.
Technical Specification
The technical requirement was to combine a rear projection set and a four speaker PA system with radio microphones. Also data and video switching, wireless table microphones for delegate interaction with presenters in question and answer sessions. They wanted two show laptop PC’s loaded with PowerPoint and various video software.
Step 3
A quotation was provided for all the physical hardware and the technical requirements and the services of the project manager and his team. No subcontracting was needed. Details were agreed and the quote was accepted by the client and a contract issued. It is important to make sure you have a contract and in it, a clause for cancellation charges.
An events company may seem expensive, but if you tried to do it all yourself you would find there would be a lot of wasted resources while you learn the ropes.
Step 4
When organising any event abroad we find it more dependable and economical to use our own technical equipment and workforce who we know and trust. There are no problems with language and the team understand the technical issues that are likely to be encountered. They are used to working together, each having their strengths to contribute to the whole, and they can be trusted to do the best possible job with the minimum of fuss. However planning is a key activity particularly when organising meetings and conference events abroad. If you have forgotten something it’s too late to go back when you have driven 600 miles. So having decided to transport the full conference set, staging and equipment by van to Rome we then worked out the details of how best to achieve it.There will always be last minute and additional requirements from presenters and our team can be relied upon to deal with last minute glitches, that need immediate and effective technical support, as a matter of course.
Step 5
Transportation
The size of the event is critical to the choice of shipping. In our Rome example it was possible to convey all the required equipment in a hire van which could be driven using a standard UK driving licence. If the scale of a conference or exhibition event is much larger it would be recommended to use a dedicated freighting company to collect, deliver and return staging and technical elements to the destination. Using a dedicated freighting company also has the benefit of delivering the key personnel to the event without them being tired out after driving across Europe. In other words the team can be flown out to the event so that they are fresher on arrival. With cheap flights to Europe it can also work out more cost effective than overnight stays for eight or ten people driving en-route.
However, in this case it was decided that the event technicians would drive the van to Rome which would still be well within budget for all staging and technical elements. When hiring a vehicle it is essential to pay attention to maximum load capacity of the vehicle. The weight of the technical equipment and set must be less than the maximum load and once the main systems are onboard, care must be taken not to fill it to the brim with extra bits and pieces.
It is so easy, when being helpful, to add the client event material, such as delegate registration systems and materials, brochures, display and graphic panels. The result can easily mean that the maximum safe load allowance for the vehicle is compromised. As the load capacity is a legal necessity it is never a good idea to agree to extra items on behalf of the client without being aware of the likely impact on overall weight.
Step 6
The Journey
As the distance was twelve hundred miles there and back it was decided that with an allotted journey time of two and a half days each way to Rome would be adequate. Although it would have been possible to travel to Rome in two days we have learned from experience to allow a margin for any delays en route. It also allows for the technicians themselves to be fresh enough after the road trip to be able to work effectively.
When travelling long distance across Europe and at a time of year when the weather might be inclement, it is essential that the safety of personnel and other road users is paramount. By dividing the travel time between two drivers and rotating them every two hours, we have found that neither is unduly fatigued. This system allows large distances of up to 600 miles a day to be covered with safety. Regular breaks help to maintain concentration and awareness, with total travel times of no more than ten hours in any day and preferably no more than eight hours a day. It is never advisable to rely on a bare minimum of journey time for any long distance travel to meet an event deadline.
Hospitality events in Europe and Dubai are a wonderful opportunity for conferences management businesses in the UK to export their expertise.
Having decided on the route to be taken from the UK to Rome we left the UK via a ferry from Dover to Calais and then journeyed to an area just North of Dijon on day one. From Dijon on day two, the journey continued as far as Bologna via the Mont Blanc tunnel. We decided on day three, to make an early start for the half day drive from Bologna to Rome and deliver the equipment to the venue, then rest up for the remainder of the day so the crew would be fresh to start work the next morning.
Navigation across Europe is now much more straight forward with Satellite, but we would also recommend printed route plans and local maps of any places where a stop-over is planned. It has sometimes been the case that even with the latest updated information the Sat Nav cannot always find the precise location of the road you want, due to the ongoing construction of many new motorway networks. You may find yourself suddenly stuck on a road it doesn’t know and this is when the co-driver can be a great help to navigate you through the confusion.
Step 7
Accommodation for Overnight Stops
Choosing accommodation for suitable overnight stops is worth some research. There is a plentiful choice of motel stops near to all major roads in France and Italy all of which are reasonably priced. However, there are wonderful guest houses away from the main cities and major roads which offer a much more relaxing experience for a tired traveller and are usually cheaper than the chain motels. Often these places have secure parking enhancing vehicle security from theft and damage. After all, when freighting audio-visual systems with a value stretching to tens of thousands of pounds, peace of mind is useful to say the least.It is advisable to spend time during pre-event production locating places to overnight. There is little benefit from having to find a room late in the day at an unknown cost which may impact on the profitability of the job.
Step 8
On Site Conference Production
On arrival in Rome we drove the van to the conference venue so that the audio-visual equipment and staging could be unloaded directly into the conference room. This was to secure the items and have everything ready for fitting the following day. Getting an early start to set up the equipment allowed for the client to begin presentation rehearsals on the afternoon of the rig day. Later on the same day there was to be an evening reception and brief welcome presentation to all attending delegates. The setting up procedures are tried and tested and the team worked like a well oiled machine so that all the audio-visual elements were complete and in place on schedule and all the technical systems were working correctly by the time the client presenters arrived from the USA.
Step 9
Audio Visual and Production Content
An example of the kind of last minute technical hitches that has to be resolved is when a conference presenter is unable to submit his presentation during the pre-production period and will arrive on site with it in his briefcase (Probably having worked on it during his flight over). The production team will not know until late in the process what presentation format is required. However the presenter will still expect his material to be incorporated seamlessly into a master slide deck. If a conference set uses a wide screen projection format the content will need to be generated in a sixteen by nine aspect ratio. Unknown to the presenter however, the offered material may have been built around a slide template that used a four by three aspect ratio instead. Depending on content, this may have minimal effect on the look of the presentation but if there are images of people, or pie chart graphs, these will then appear as stretched and elliptical shapes which would be unsatisfactory. Fonts and text boxes may move out of alignment and embedded applications such as XL may well be impossible to read. The added value for European clients of using a UK based corporate event supplier is that the British are famous for their ability to be innovative and come up with solutions to problems at the last minute and particularly under pressure.
It is best if the systems from an audio visual hire are technically robust with graphically consistent control interfaces and centralised access at the touch of a button.
During the rehearsals for the first day of the conference one of the American presenters had travelled to site with a power point presentation containing video footage. Unfortunately the video content had not been embedded into his presentation so it did not appear as he expected. The video content was hyper-linked to files that were inaccessible from the PowerPoint presentation – supplied to us on a memory stick. Fortunately with our technical knowledge we were able to download the video from source and convert the video footage into a high resolution format that would be compatible with our audio visual systems. This is when event support specialists, who speak English as a first language and are familiar with the requirements of such last-minute complications, are invaluable.
In an ideal scenario, all presentation content will have been submitted during the pre-production phase to minimise such last minute glitches, but more often than not on-site changes are required to re-format a presentation. Whilst it is by no means out of the question that a local AV company might well have been able to do the same, feedback from client events in Europe suggests that when they have used a local supplier they have often failed to be sufficiently expert to support such needs.
Step 10
During the Conference
Over the period of the two and a half day event we were able to further boost our reputation with the client and delegates. Something that they had overlooked until the last minute was to provide appropriate themed music for role-play exercises. Although it had not been part of the original conference production brief, we were able to provide apt and timely presentation support at very short notice from our on-site database of over thirty thousand music tracks.
Whilst seeming relatively trivial points in themselves the above types of scenarios can be very stressful for conference and event organisers, who already have responsibilities that go beyond the presentation content. The corporate conference event being organised by the client is a huge task of delegate management and event logistics, so that any projects that can be left to an experienced dedicated event management team such as ourselves, frees them up to focus on their own tasks of delivering a successful delegate experience.
Step 11
Language Issues in European Conferencing.
When working in Europe either as an event manager, conference producer, or production company, it is always helpful if you are able to communicate directly with the people you meet at the venue and along the way. Whilst all major event management destinations and hotels across Europe have staff who will speak English, there are occasions when they will not be available. We are happy to have colleagues with rudimentary skills in French, Spanish and German who are all keen to improve their language skills. They are prepared to have a go whenever possible to try out what they have learned and this has sometimes proved to be invaluable. It may seem obvious to say, but we recommend that at least one on your production team should have a working knowledge of the local language and should be encouraged to use their language skills as often as possible. It is often surprising how a little effort can generate a much better response from those who you are working alongside.
Conclusion
If you haven’t given much consideration to the idea of working in Europe then we really recommend it. Conference events in Europe can be undertaken by a UK event production company at comparable cost to our European colleagues in the audio-visual supply sector. Favourable exchange rates add a further competitive edge to the costs of bringing your audio-visual and staging from the UK. Researching and planning the route and method by which conferencing systems are freighted and delivered will provide surprisingly low cost delivery solutions.
Taking your preferred conference production team with you to Europe will give increased peace of mind with regard to the quality of your technical support. Our client in Rome was very happy with the service and level of attention to detail we brought to their conference and repeat European corporate events are now routinely part of our conferencing diary. Fortunately our team really enjoy the experience of travelling abroad and having the opportunity during ‘down time’ to experience life in another culture and country.
Should You Do Your Own Kitchen Remodeling
Are you a homeowner? More importantly, are you a homeowner who would like to have your kitchen remodeled? Whether you are looking for a change or looking to redo a poor quality kitchen, you may seriously be thinking about kitchen remodeling. Once you have officially decided that you would like to have your kitchen remodeled, you will need to decide how that remodeling will occur. When it comes to kitchen remodeling, you can remodel your own kitchen or hire a professional to do it for you.
With kitchen remodeling, one of the most popular remodeling methods is self remodeling. Self remodeling is when a homeowner decides to do their own remodeling themselves, without professional assistance. If you are tying to decide whether or not you should do you own kitchen remodeling, it may be a good idea to examine the advantages and disadvantages of doing so. You will find that there are a number of advantages to doing your own kitchen remodeling, but you will also find that there are a number of disadvantages as well.
One of the most common reasons why homeowners choose to do their own kitchen remodeling is because of the cost. When it comes to hiring a professional contractor, the cost will vary, but it is sometimes quite high. That cost often does not include the cost of supplies and materials; however, if it does you will easily be able to notice because the overall cost will be high. If you are able perform your own kitchen remodeling repairs, you may be able to save yourself a fairly large amount of money. One of the reasons for that is the fact that you only have to pay for your supplies and materials. If you are looking for a low-cost way to remodel your kitchen, self remodeling may be the way to go (more detail on Buy Power Tools).
In addition to saving money, self remodeling is also preferred by homeowners because it enables them repair or remodel their kitchen anyway that they see fit. If you hire a professional contractor to remodel your kitchen for you, they will be using your ideas and suggestions; however, last minute changes are sometimes frowned upon and they may even cost you money. If you are doing your own kitchen remodeling, you will not have this problem. You can change your mind about any aspect of your remodeling project at anytime, rarely with any consequences.
As previously mentioned, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to doing your own kitchen repairs. Although it is nice to save money and be able to have complete control over your kitchen remodeling project, you will find that it often takes a lot of time to do your own kitchen remodeling. Professional contractors are not only good at what they do, but they are also experienced. That is one of the reasons why they are able to complete most of their jobs in no time at all. If you do not have any home improvement or remodeling experience, the job could take you twice as long, if not longer, to complete. If you are limited on the amount of time that you have available or if you have a deadline, you may find it difficult or impossible to do your own kitchen repairs (Page 2, Top Power Tools).
In addition to the time it takes, when deciding whether or not you should do your own remodeling, it is important to consider the damage that can be done. It is no secret that it isn’t always easy to remodel anything, let alone a kitchen. The difficultly will all depend on which areas of your kitchen you plan on remodeling. If you do not have home improvement or remodeling experience, you need to be careful with how you approach the situation. A quality remodeling project is likely to increase the value of your home, but a poor one may reduce the value of it. That is something many homeowners do not realize or even think about it.
As you can see, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to doing your own kitchen remodeling. In addition to the above mentioned factors, it is also important to take the size of your project into consideration. If you are only doing a small project, such as replacing your kitchen sink, it may be a good idea to take the time to familiarize yourself with the process instead of automatically making the decision to pay a professional (source: Best Power Tools).

10 Reasons Healthy Sefton is Using an 03 Number Phoneline
In August 2009, NHS Sefton in Merseyside launched a new phoneline for people to call to access free lifestyle information. Healthy Sefton offers details about alcohol, smoking and physical activity that residents of the town can access by calling 0300 100 1000. 0300 telephone numbers are relatively new and are exclusively for public bodies and charities. They are ‘non-geographic’ numbers (like 0800 numbers and 0845 numbers etc.) and offer organisations many benefits compared to standard landline numbers. Here are 10 reasons Healthy Sefton is using an 03 Number:
1) Like all non-geographic numbers, 03 numbers enable organisations to smarten up the way they deal with calls with intelligent features like introduction messages (”Thank you for calling Healthy Sefton”) and options menus (e.g. Press 1 for smoking information, 2 for advice about alcohol etc.)
2) Organisations can handpick a highly memorable number that their callers will recall easily.
3) 03 numbers cost people the same to call as regular landline (01/02 numbers) even from a mobile phone (40% of all UK calls are now made from mobiles – Ofcom 2008). This makes them ethical phone numbers that are not subject to any negative publicity (which is of particular importance to publically funded bodies).
4) Calls to 03 numbers can be easily recorded for training purposes.
5) 03 numbers simply ’sit’ on top of any landline or mobile number. No additional equipment or hardware is needed.
6) Callers can be queued, meaning that all important calls will be answered.
7) 03 numbers can easily move with an organisation if it relocates – they simply get ‘pointed’ at the new landline/mobile accordingly.
03 numbers can be inexpensive to run if you seek out the provider with the most competitive offering on the market (e.g. 30,000 free inbound minutes per month and once they have been used 0.5 pence per minute for all calls received after that).
9) It’s possible to see the geographic location of callers and the busy periods of the organisation using online call statistics packages.
10) An 03 number and their features are fully controlled online. No additional hardware or equipment is needed and settings can be changed at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection.

Insurance is a big business, and resembling every other trade it needs to breed income. Monetary losses through an excessive volume of insurance claims are usually passed on to the end user in the form of higher insurance estimates. If the insurance organisation had an enormously profitable period, they may reduce quotes to catch the attention of new buyers and add to the quantity of consumers they cover. For this motive, insurance costs vary considerably from one insurance provider to another.
When comparing premiums, you ought to consistently give the consistent identical information on your form for an accurate apple to apple comparison. For example on the question, what is your driving distance on the way to and on the way from your job? If you write 80 miles for one company and 30 miles to a different insurer, that could make all the difference in the world on the prices you get. The less frequently you use your car, the less the insurance may be.
If you are shopping for an instant car insurance quote, chances are that you don’t have patience to sit and wait for someone to take all your details and then hang around once more for them to phone you back with a premium and coverage comparison.

Cheap Local Manchester Plumbers
What a time I’ve had recently it all started out with a problem with my tap leaking well anyhow I sought to find a localised plumber in the local phone directory – who could start within a week no luck there In Any Case I resolved to do a search on google for Manchester Plumber. Struck gold with that one there they where on-line .Anyway I filled in the contact form and within about 15 minutes I had a phone call to set up an appointment .That’s what I call service.To cut a long story short they came out the same day and where rather a bit cheaper than the company who would not get to me for well-nigh a week.
Not long after the initial problem was concluded don’t I get a phone call from a friend alleging someone has rammed into his car from behind and are refusing any obligation. Not quite sure how that goes as they clearly rammed into his car. Well hot on my winner with google and the phantom plumbers don’t I get online and go looking for a Solicitors in Manchester for him. Simply on the off chance that his insurance has some microscopic little clause about legal costs who knows?
On a happier note an individual I know has decided to expend some of their redundancy on purchasing a delivery business concern. Not really sure if they have done as much research as they should before going all out for it .I have assured them that they need an Accountant in Manchester to look at the records as these people recognize precisely what they are looking at. For the fee it could well save him thousands if the business is going to fold or hopefully the accountant will turn around and say that it looks like a lucrative business go for it.
So all in all the last few weeks have been quite heavy around here. Looking ahead to a few smooth weeks now with no more leakages or telephone calls about car accidents
