The invention of tablet computers was a direct result of the demand for portable devices that could be taken with you on the go. They were designed to have all of the functionality of a regular laptop, but they would be much smaller, lighter and more versatile. In this article, we will discuss what is required to make these great little machines work their best.

When it comes to technology, great technological advances can sometimes mean that we need to create a whole new industry. This is especially true when it comes to products such as tablet computers.

As you may have seen, there are a number of different types of tablet cases available, ranging from classic leather to sleek material. They are generally quite attractive, but you may also want to consider buying one for yourself.

The internet has a number of different options open to us. We have access to a massive amount of information on just about any subject you can imagine.

In this case, that means finding the right information about tablet cases. By taking the time to do so, you will have an idea of what you should be looking for in one. You may even find a few things that you already have and want to expand your collection of accessories.

There are a number of things you should be aware of when you are looking at some of the basic information. You should look out for, how easy it is to put on and take off your tablet. It should also be flexible enough to suit your lifestyle and the type of things you may need to carry with you on the go.

If you are looking at the different options available, you may notice that some manufacturers offer their products with a whole host of extra accessories. These may include a stylus or mouse, a case that locks into place, an extra battery or charger, and even a USB cable. It is important that you think about which of these extras are important and which ones you would want to purchase anyway.

Of course, it is also important that you do not skimp out on the amount of memory that is included with your tablet. If you are not sure what type of memory you require, you should consult the manufacturer of the device before you buy.

It is important to check out what kind of warranty is offered with your tablet cases before you buy. This is to make sure that you are able to return it if you are unhappy. Many cases can be returned, however, there is some leeway as to whether they will come back or not.

There are many different kinds of tablet cases available. There are leather cases, plastic cases, and cases that are more fashionable and stylish. You may even find ones that are made from leather and are very trendy, although it is up to you to decide whether you wish to purchase one of these.

Of course, you should also consider the different sizes and shapes of your tablet. There are cases which are designed to fit a standard size of tablet, which will take a variety of sizes. Others will fit an individual’s hand.

This can be an interesting way to decorate your case. If you have a larger one, you could easily use it as a purse. Alternatively, you may choose a style that fits around your tablet with an optional carrying case.

Tablet cases are a great way to provide a bit of personalization to your tablet and to keep it protected when you are out and about. Whether you are going to be working on your tablet, or simply using it on the go, you will need to choose the appropriate case for your needs.

 

When you consider green building, you probably think of buildings which use renewable energy sources, or energy-efficient materials and systems which allow less waste, fewer emissions, and greater efficiency and longevity. But there are many other benefits to building green – such as energy costs, the reduction of air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, reduced dependence on foreign oil, and the ability to provide local communities with jobs as well as a cleaner environment and sustainable communities. And these are just a few.

To get a clearer picture of what green building is all about, you need to understand the different ways in which buildings can be designed to be more energy efficient, more environmentally friendly, and more cost effective. Green building refers to the application and design of environmentally conscious processes and practices during the life-cycle of a building: from conception to construction, design, operation, repair, renovations, and demolition.

A green building can be defined as any new building constructed that utilizes sustainable materials and techniques and has a sustainable design. The key is in the sustainable design and construction process. Some green building practices include building in a manner which allows for passive heating and cooling and making maximum use of natural light and ventilation. Other sustainable practices involve using low-emission sources of energy like geothermal power, using materials that do not create waste and building in an ecologically appropriate manner. There are also practices to reduce or eliminate emissions.

The first step in implementing green buildings is to plan them in advance and carefully evaluate the existing building, its surroundings, and its future needs before designing the new building. Green construction involves analyzing the structure and its surroundings to determine the best possible way to use the space and the best materials and techniques to reduce the amount of energy required to sustain the building. This will then be used in the design.

In addition to planning for energy efficiency, sustainable architecture considers issues like reducing noise and light emissions, reducing or eliminating energy wastes, and increasing insulation. These things help the building to last longer. In addition, the building should be able to withstand weather changes so that it will remain functional and usable for many years to come.

Another factor to consider when planning a new building is to minimize its impact on the surrounding environment. By using energy efficient building materials and techniques, this is done by avoiding the use of energy-intensive materials and employing low energy methods such as windows and doors. For instance, by using the lowest energy resistant types of windows and doors and double-glazed windows, the building will help to conserve energy and minimize waste.

Another practice to reduce energy use and create a better building is to employ renewable energy sources. Energy efficient heating and cooling systems can save money and reduce energy consumption. These include efficient air-conditioning systems and efficient plumbing systems. Some renewable sources include wind power, solar power, geothermal, or water-powered heating and cooling systems, and energy efficient appliances.

Lastly, green construction involves using natural lighting and ventilation to improve the safety and maintenance of a new building. Lighting systems use low energy LED, fluorescent, or low-voltage lighting. Additionally, windows and doors can be made using energy efficient windows and doors.

The type of building that you choose depends on the overall theme and function of the building. For example, a restaurant, educational facility, or other business may require a much larger building. Commercial building, on the other hand, usually have much smaller spaces and are meant for businesses that only need a small office. The type of building that you choose depends on your business needs.

Lastly, energy efficient building materials and practices should be considered before any construction begins. These practices can include using renewable and recyclable materials like wood, glass, metal, and plastic. They also can include energy saving techniques like energy efficient lighting, and ventilation, and using insulation to reduce heat loss and cooling costs.

As you can see, there are many green building practices and green building materials. The key is to consider what the building will be for, how it will be used, and which practices are most suitable to your particular location and needs.

Dion Coburn in Christchurch, New Zealand made a 30 minute film about the amazing Ken Clearwater.

If you know Ken, you know what I mean. If you don’t, this is a good introduction until you meet him in person.

October 31-November 2, 2014 in Newark, NJ, USA.

Evolution: from Hurting to Healing.

Globally, more than 850 million males are estimated to be victims. Healing is possible…

Help New Zealand’s historic institutional abuse survivors to seek truth and justice. Help New Zealand’s historic institutional abuse survivors to protect future generations of children who are entrusted to State care.

The “MSSAT HOME” page gives a little background to the formation of the Trust.

We are delighted to post a Research paper received from Donald Pettitt Manager of the Canterbury Mens  Centre and written by Research Scholar Silas Thielmann while he was with the CMC.  We welcome your feedback on his findings.  See the “RESEARCH PAGE” link.

MSSAT National Manager Ken Clearwater currently at an International Male Survivor Conference in the UK was a “star” attraction at the NZ Police Tane Toa camp at Hanmer Springs in October 2011, apparently his mountain bike exploits had to be seen to be believed with only his pride dented.  But seriously, excellent feedback received from the NZ Police,  Ken engaged with and related well with the youngsters who were inspired by such a fantastic role model.

VICTIMS NO LONGER RESIDENTIAL RETREAT WITH MIKE LEW M. ED. AT BLUE SKIES KAIAPOI NORTH CANTERBURY.

Our residential workshop commences on Friday 29 July 2011 with 18 participants mainly local survivors but a special welcome is extended to the men from Dunedin and Wellington.

We are most grateful for the financial support we received from THE LION FOUNDATION towards this retreat.

LATEST ON MSSAT IN CHRISTCHURCH AND THANKS TO RECENT SPONSORS.

We are still without an official office, Manager Ken and CSW Paul are visiting clients in their homes or over coffee,  John is carrying out the admin requirements from his home and hosting weekly staff meetings.  The weekly support group is meeting at the rooms of a Trustee’s workplace, and the Trust Board meets there monthly as well.

Ken is the Chair of the Christchurch Community House (our old home)  Tenants Board and along with House Manager Mike and his assistant Eileen investigating alternative short to medium term premises as the fate of CCH doesnot look great.  The five story building in the heart of the “Red Zone” CBD has dropped at one corner and is likely to be demolished along with many other buildings.  Mike & Eileen now have a short term office and negotiations are underway for a larger “house” for tenants use.

MSSAT appreciates the support we have already received in the current financial year (commenced 1 April 2011) from the  MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, LION FOUNDATION as mentioned above, PUB CHARITY and UNITED WAY NZ, the latter made donations to various Canterbury Trusts at a function this week where many of us met up with old friends from CCH for the first time since the February quake.

To Whom It May Concern,

My son, (name withheld) was sent to prison last June for 12 months for possession and selling of cannabis. He had just turned 18 and was certainly not prison materiel (in my opinion) He spent 6 months at Paparoa youth prison in Christchurch.It was a devastating time for us all. He had a rough few years getting very heavily involved in drugs, alcohol and taking massive risks, breaking bones, cutting himself and attempting suicide. Unbeknown to me he was being sexually abused by my partner whom he had loved very deeply and trusted completely. I had no idea why his behaviour had taken such a turn as he was head boy at his school, played (sport withheld) for the New Zealand team for 5 years and received the sports award at the end of the year. He was doing really well in his life and then took a big turn for the worst which resulted in him going to prison.

I went on anti depressants in order to cope with the behaviour and he eventually told me what was going on. I had no idea where to turn or to where to look for help as I had never come across this before or had never met anyone who had been sexually abused. A friend who is involved with victim support told me about Ken Clearwater and the Male Survivor of Sexual Abuse team in Christchurch. I flew up to meet with them and was introduced to Paul. I told him our story and he agreed to go and visit my son in prison. This was the first ray of hope I had since the discovery of the abuse. He was very kind and compassionate towards me and gave me lots of support.

Paul went and met with my son over a period of months and the visits had a huge impact upon him. He finally felt safe and appreciated having someone he could talk to. He really looked forward to the visits, especially appreciating being treated like a person and with respect. On my last visit Paul sat in with us both and helped put some systems in place for when he came home. This was very helpful, as I did not know what to expect or how I should handle him. Paul touched base with me frequently, to see how I was getting on and this meant the world to me as he could relate and help me with what I was going through.

Since his release he has got a building apprenticeship and is doing really well. He has had a few bumps as was to be expected but he now has ambition and is working towards a goal. He is off drugs, drinks only once a week and is determined to make something of his life. The improvements in him are really encouraging and I finally feel my sweet, loving, kind boy is back!

I totally support this organization and would not have got through this terrible situation had it not been for them. They saved us both and we now have a happy, healthy family once again (without the offender of course). I cannot speak highly enough of Ken and Paul and the work they are doing. There work is a very necessary part of rehabilitation for boys and the support and advice is invaluable. For them to visit boys in prison makes a huge impact as they have no one on the inside who totally understands what they have been through. I cannot rate this organization highly enough. We desperately need them in our society.

Kind Regards
(Mother’s name withheld)

Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse Trust (MSSAT) started in 1991 in Christchurch when a client asked his Counsellor how he could go about meeting other men who had experienced similar childhood trauma. Together they formed a support group and in 1997 members of that group registered MSSAT as a Charitable Trust.

In recent years MSSAT has been instrumental in the establishment of Better Blokes (MSSAT Auckland) and MSSAT Waikato who both operate as independent Trusts but with the same principles and objectives of MSSAT. Support groups for male survivors, their parents and partners are held in Nelson and Wellington.

All MSSAT organisations offer one to one, peer and group support for survivors and their significant others. Group support and the validation from other men is very empowering for recovering survivors. As abuse usually takes place in isolation healing works well with others.

Contact details for MSSAT can be found on the “About MSSAT” and ” Contact” pages.

If you are a first-time mother or just thinking about buying a baby gift, then you need to look at buying baby toys online. You want to make sure the toy you buy is age-appropriate and safe for your baby. There are several main types of baby toys, you can choose from. Let’s take a look at the key features of each. By doing so, you will have a better idea of what type of toy you should get for your baby.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has created a crib safety act that outlines all the rules about toys that you should be using in your child’s crib. The crib safety act defines the maximum height that a baby can reach, the number of hours a baby can be left unattended in the crib, and the amount of weight that a baby can be placed on the floor, on a swing, or in a sit-up chair. The act also outlines all of the toys that are allowed in a baby’s play area and any that are not. In addition to the laws regarding the toys, the CPSC outlines rules about how manufacturers can advertise their products. By abiding by the regulations outlined in the crib safety act, you can ensure that toys are safe for your baby.

How does the safety of a toy affect its overall rating? The safety rating system of a toy is generally based on its weight, size, and durability. In order for a toy to be considered relatively safe, it must meet all three of these requirements. However, the way a toy is built affects all three requirements. Therefore, the more carefully a toy is constructed, the more likely it will meet all the required safety standards.

For example, a toy may be deemed safe if it meets the standard height requirement, weighs less than 5.5 ounces, and has a non-toxic body or head insert. On the other hand, you may want to avoid buying certain baby toys because they are too lightweight or too strong for your baby. For example, you may want to avoid buying a toy truck that is more than five inches long, because it can pose a choking hazard. Similarly, you may want to avoid a stuffed animal that is too large for your baby because it may put him or her at risk for head injury.

On the other hand, you may want to choose the Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Rock-A Stack Key Features as your baby’s favorite Fisher-Price toy. These include interactive elements such as a flashlight and a moving red dot. Other entertaining interactive features include a changing pad and an activity book. If you are looking for a unique baby toy that will keep your baby engaged, Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Rock-A Stack Key Features is a great choice.

If you choose to buy a Fisher-Price toy that features interactive educational elements, there are a few things you should look for when you are choosing the best interactive Fisher-Price key features for your baby. First of all, you should make sure that these Fisher-Price interactive learning systems use recommended age levels. These key features include everything from building blocks to musical instruments to coloring books to puzzles. You should also ensure that these interactive learning systems provide you with a variety of ways for your little one to interact with other children in a safe and fun way.

For example, the Baby Rattleoid RC Vehicle offers two options: the RemotePlus or the Super Rico Deluxe. The RemotePlus is a simple and fun toy that allows your baby to play with multiple interactive sounds and unique movements while using a remote control. The Super Rico Deluxe is a larger and more intense toy that allows your little one to play with three interactive sound effects and multiple textures. In addition to the fun sound effects and textures, this toy also has a motor that can move the toy in any direction, including up and down. The best key features of this toy are its bright colors, exciting noises, and its ability to change its shape.

Other great toys include Baby Q-Snapshot Pro, which allows your baby to make music and sound effects from her mouth! Baby Q-Snapshot Pro comes with two mixtures of music and sound effects, and is great for babies who love to talk. Also, you should look for those AA batteries. If you have an electrician in your household, you should be able to find a battery with the same code on both the Baby Q-Snapshot Pro and the Baby Rattleoid. If you choose to combine both of these toys, however, it is recommended that you buy the rechargeable battery.

 

For any home or business that has a problem with black mold, it is important to have access to a quality mold cleaner. Black mold is a toxic fungus that can grow anywhere there is dampness, such as inside a home or in a professional building. It is often associated with humidifier machines, however, it can also be found in shower curtains, on moist newspaper and even on stored food. If you or anyone else in the house develops an illness due to this mold, it could worsen the situation and even make it necessary for the family to be relocated.

Celina Mold Cleaner penetrates mold and mildew and kills fungus and mold spores, effectively removing them from your closed tent. The active ingredient found in this effective product is Calcium Hypochlorite, which is 200 times more effective than bleach when removing mold-based stains. To use, spray the affected area liberally with the cleaner, leaving it to absorb the first few minutes of treatment. Allow the solution to sit on the surface for five to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. There are no health issues associated with using this product to remove mold. However, if it is used without the proper precautions, it could still cause the discoloration of other fabrics or harm the skin.

In addition to disinfecting surfaces and clothing, cleaners are also available that kill the spores already present in the air and on the fabrics. These products are formulated with a strong formula that is designed to penetrate the fibers of most fabrics. Because they are made with a strong formula, they are not recommended for cleaning walls, furniture or other surfaces. Instead, they are designed for use on items that are outside and have no structural integrity, such as tents.

If you want to make sure that you get rid of mold without damaging any of your interior surfaces, you should consider the use of an all-natural mold removal product. These products work by killing mold spores and are safe for you and your family. They also come in a handy mold remediation package. An all-natural mold cleanup cleaner contains bleach, which kills mold spores and prevents them from reproducing.

A variety of mold remediation products are available to deal with your mold issue, including strong formula cleaners and mildew cleaner. Based on personal and professional mold experience, neither of these products should be considered the final verdict on removing mold. However, you may feel compelled to try mildew cleaners if the interior surfaces on your home are covered in a thick layer of black mold, especially on the walls.

A good solution for removing mildew and bacteria is a commercial solution. The only problem with these products is that they contain harsh chemicals that can cause serious damage to your lungs and other body parts. For example, vinegar is a mildew cleaner but it is a powerful poison. Vinegar is also a poison, which means that it will kill you even before you remove the mold stains from your walls.

You should know that a home remedy like a commercial mildew cleaner or a homemade vinegar-water solution is a much better solution to your problem than using a commercial mildew cleaner or vinegar-water solution. In this case, you would use vinegar mixed with water, instead of just vinegar. This home remedy is a great option as long as you have clean walls and floors. This solution is safe for you and your family. You can use it even when there is no mold or mildew present, since vinegar will remove both bad smells and bad tastes from your house.

Mold can grow on almost any type of surface. It can grow on bathtubs, sinks, flooring, ceilings, tile, counter tops, and even clothing. Some types of mold are toxic and need special cleaning techniques. You should be sure to seek help from professional mold cleaners if you have a severe infestation of mold in your house or building. Professional mold cleaners are trained to remove mold safely and completely.
