Maximising Your Restaurant Efficiency

Increasing the efficiency within your restaurant will bring many benefits with it. Firstly, the easier you find it to prepare food, the quicker you will be able to do it and the more customers you will be able to serve. Not only does this mean that profit will increase, but it also means that customers will not have to wait as long for orders and, in turn, they will enjoy their experience far more.

No matter what type of establishment you run, the ability to prepare food quickly will be beneficial. Even in the most upmarket of restaurants where patrons may well want to draw out their dining experience as opposed to feeling rushed, the faster that food can be prepared in a focussed way, the less staff you will need or the more likely you are going to be to time each order exactly right.

Maximising efficiency will take a number of different steps. First of all, the catering equipment you use needs to be right. By paying less, you may save a small amount of money in the short term, but through decreased efficiency you will almost certainly lose out far more than the amount you have saved in a surprisingly short amount of time. Obviously, cost is not everything when it comes to catering equipment, but finding products that do exactly what you need to in the exact way you need them to will be worth far more than small savings you might make by cutting corners.

It is also wise to consider how your kitchen equipment is laid out. From preparation surfaces to storage facilities, the way in which you lay out your kitchen is going to have a huge effect on how much you are actually able to get done.

The kitchen equipment you choose and how you use it can make a massive impact on everything you do. So be sure to consider exactly what will work best for you.

A Bra for All Sizes

Wearing beautiful lingerie can be a huge boost of confidence for many women – even if no one else gets to see it! For the same reason, making sure your bra is the correct size can have the same boost as it improves your posture, which instantly makes you look more attractive. There are many other reasons why women rely on their bra for a confidence booster, however. For ladies who have smaller chests, it is easy to lose confidence and feel less like a woman. What’s more, the wrong bra can make you feel even worse.

Belle Lingerie specialise in lingerie and swimwear for women of all sizes. Starting with AA cups, they sell designer underwear in beautiful designs to enhance what you’ve been given. If you want to make the most of what you’ve got, a push up or gel bra is a good way to give yourself a bit of an extra boost. Belle Lingerie have a great range of attractive colours and styles for every size, and with free UK delivery too you are bound to find something to suit!

Belle Lingerie have an equally fantastic range of big bras too. In the UK, the average woman’s bra size has actually got bigger in recent years, so it now stands at 36D. Even so, big bras are still not that easy to find on the high street and shop ranges can be somewhat limited. Even where stores stock large cup sizes, these tend to go with large back sizes and so do not cater for slimmer ladies with large assets, which is actually where the biggest increase in bra shopping has been according to recent sales figures. Belle Lingerie cater for every size of woman and make it easy to search by size, colour, style or brand.

Music Made in Maida Vale

Every district of London can lay claim to a distinguished line of notable residents.  Estate agents in Maida Vale will be quick to tell you that their particular district of West London can compete as well as any other in the celebrity inhabitant stakes. Indeed, letting agents near Maida Vale have had many clients who have been household names. Residents in the public eye have included Alec Guinness,   Joan Collins, Jennifer Saunders, Kate Moss and computing genius Alan Turing; but it is in the realm of popular music that the area can really claim to have distinguished itself. Bj?rk, The Clash’s Joe Strummer, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, Robert Smith from The Cure, Paul Weller and Pink Floyd’s legendary guitarist David Gilmour have all made the Vale their home at one time or another.

But what even some of the most well-informed letting agents from Maida Vale don’t know is that some of the most iconic music of our time was first delivered to the public from the area. The BBC’s studio on Delaware Road may appear to be an unremarkable building, but it was here that John Peel recorded his seminal Peel Sessions which launched the career of many – then unknown – bands. Acts including Blur, Black Sabbath, Depeche Mode and some chap called Jimi Hendrix were all brought to the attention of British music fans for the first time from this small unassuming studio.

However it is not just in pop music that the Vale played a significant role. One of the most haunting and memorable pieces of music composed in the 20th Century was created in the Maida Vale Studio. This building was also home to the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop, and it was here that Ron Gainer and Delia Derbyshire created the Dr Who theme tune in 1963. Perhaps estate agents in Maida Vale should inform their clients that without Maida Vale our Saturday teatimes would never have sounded the same.

How to Fit a Laptop Screen

If your laptop screen has been severely damaged, it may seem like the most logical course of action is to buy a new laptop as such a major problem may cost a great deal to resolve if you take it to your local computer shop. However, by buying and fitting new Acer or Toshiba laptop screens yourself, you could have a brand new, far superior screen up and running in no time, and at a surprisingly low cost.

Not every screen change will be exactly the same, but the majority will be similar to the following steps describe how to fit new Toshiba laptop screens. From Dell laptop screens to Acer ones, the process should be extremely similar, and any slight differences should be obvious to those undertaking the job.

Firstly, ensure your laptop is not plugged in and that you have all the tools you might need to carry out the job before you start. Next, unscrew each screw from the four corners of your LCD frame, taking off any screw covers first. Next, moving from the bottom upwards, gently pull the screen’s cover away from the laptop and screen itself. Once this is done, gently pull the screen away from its mooring, moving it from the top first, undoing any screws on the side that may be holding it in place. This should lower the screen gently until it is in a horizontal position on your keyboard (you may want to lay a piece of cloth or paper over your keyboard for safety).

You will now see that there is a display cable attached to the rear of the screen. Gently remove this along with the lighting cable which will be attached to the inverter.

To then put new Toshiba or Dell laptop screens in the place of the damaged one, you will simply need to follow the above instructions in reverse. When you have finished you will have a brand new screen and will have lost very little time or money in the process.

The Extra Benefits of Adding Wood Flooring

There are many benefits of adding wood flooring to your home. Not only will such an addition instantly make your home more attractive, more homely and simply worth more, but there will also be many other benefits, from how easy it is to keep your floor looking good through to how adaptable such a floor will be to any changes in your home decor further down the line.

However, there are other benefits that many people will not instantly associate with getting such flooring, and these are to do with the process itself and the options it can present you with.

By laying oak flooring, you will be giving yourself the perfect opportunity to change not just how your home looks, but also how it feels too. Such flooring will give a huge amount of potential in terms of the look you can achieve, and by simply laying an oak floor you will instantly be able to achieve a whole new look to your room, utilising simple items such as rugs to get the desired effect, whilst offering you the perfect opportunity to rearrange your room to create the best possible environment.

However, whilst the looks of your house can instantly be informed by new oak flooring, the feel can also be informed. For instance, having underfloor heating put into your home may in itself be a costly exercise, but by combining the process with the acquisition of wood flooring, you will save huge amounts of money and you may even find that the result of the two combined is actually worth even more than you paid for it. Such a heating solution will also save you a great deal of money on energy, meaning that the small extra investment of having it installed whilst your flooring is laid could be recouped in a very short amount of time.

 

Better value car servicing

Cars need regular servicing to keep them running smoothly. Every ten thousand miles or so it’s time to take them into the garage for a once over to make sure every is ticking over nicely and repair any worn or faulty parts. Now the first instinct is to take the vehicle to a franchised dealership. People who have a Ford naturally think to take it a Ford dealership. Likewise BMW owners head to the BMW dealership and so on. But these franchised dealerships are often the most expensive places to go for a car service. There are much better deals to be had at independent garages. The only problem for car owners is knowing which one to choose. It can feel like a bit of a lottery and no one wants to get ripped off or have a bad job done.

So how do motorists who want a better deal on car servicing know where to take their vehicle if they are fed up with the high prices charged by franchised dealerships? Well that’s where Ebeepbeep comes in. They have an easy to use website where motorists can find details of approved independent garages which offer much better rates than the big dealerships. Every garage listed has been checked for quality and pre-approved, which takes the risk out of finding a new garage for the vehicle owner.

Using the site is easy. When car service time rolls around again motorists simply visit www.ebeepbeep.com and type in their address and car details. The site will then produce a list of suitable garages in the area, all offering much better value deals than the local franchised dealership. It’s such a simple innovation, but one that motorists have been crying out for. And in these tough economic times, saving money on car servicing is a real bonus for hard pressed consumers.

Modern Mining

Modern mining is technically safer than ever. With new technology and new health and safety regulations, the chances of issues arising are slimmer than have ever been before. However, even in very recent years the New Zealand disaster and the very publicised Chilean fiasco have proved that there are still many dangers in such an industry and that such dangers still need to be addressed accordingly.

Whilst some of the more recent disasters have been unavoidable and accidents that could not have been foreseen, there have still been many that have come about as a direct result of specific oversights, from poor quality gas detectors resulting in explosions to equipment checks going somewhat wayward. And it is these ‘accidents’ that can easily be avoided altogether.

The huge array of modern technology we have should mean that such accidents should never happen. From the degree of accuracy that the modern combustible gas detector can offer through to ability of machinery to dig to an unprecedented level of accuracy, simply being vigilant should be all that is needed to ensure safety in almost all cases.

Firstly, it is important to check machinery and items such as gas detectors regularly. All technology will start to fail after awhile and noticing declining accuracy is the best way to avoid problems from occurring. However, as new technology arrives, it is wise to also invest regardless. A new combustible gas detector may seem like an investment you can avoid, but not only will it make your workers safer, but many will also help to optimise machinery performance meaning that you will almost certainly see a return on investment.

Modern mining is safer than it has ever been before, but to ensure that it stays that way it is important to make sure that companies are aware of the technology they have, whether it is working as well as it should be, and simply whether or not new investments might make processes safer and more profitable.

Easy Ways to Reinvent Your Shop

If you are looking for ways to reinvent your shop, but can’t afford to splash out the huge amount of money that the best retail designers will command, then there are still ways to give your space a new image very easily and cost-effectively.

Whilst interior design and retail design in particular is not going to be everybody’s strong suit, being able to offer interesting aesthetic changes can be far simpler than you might think. First of all, simply changing the layout may help give the space a whole new look, but that alone may seem like just a confusing exercise to make the shopping process harder for regular customers.

When making any major changes within a shop, you also need to have a reason. By utilising large format printing and banner stands to draw attention to specific items as well as to increase the aesthetics of your store, you can justify such changes. Such changes will then be a rebranding of sorts, serving to make your space look more attractive and not just more confusing. At the same time, the way in which you display items can change and instantly, in a few easy steps, you have a whole new look and feel to the store.

On top of large format printing, lighting can also play a major part in any reinvention. Lighting alone can make a huge impact on how a space feels, creating a good atmosphere and making people more likely to want to spend money with you should you get it right.

Whether you opt for banner stands to draw the eye to specific areas or use lighting to do the hard work without words and images even being needed, small simple steps can have as much effect as a whole renovation, and cost you a great deal less in the process.

The Xeroderma Pigmentosum antibody – turning the heat up on skin cancer

Skin cancer continues to be of major concern to antibody research groups in the United States, with an estimated one million cases diagnosed each year, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The most dangerous type of skin cancer is the malignant melanoma, which accounts for around 75% of all skin cancer-related deaths. Melanomas are traditionally diagnosed using the polyclonal antibody HMB-45 and S-100 protein marker. However, we at Novus Biologicals recently added three new melanoma marker antibodies to our antibody database: Melan-A; Mitf and tyrosinase. These have superior specificity and sensitivity.

UVB radiation can cause two types of DNA mutation: pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). Depending on the severity of radiation damage, keratinocytosis may progress along either DNA repair or apoptosis pathways. In either case the cell cycle is arrested, enabling the keratinocyte to undergo DNA-repair or programmed cell death. Apoptosis can also be prevented via nucleotide excision repair, or NER. Thus it can be seen that cells are highly adaptive to DNA damage, allowing either DNA repair or apoptosis to take place on a cell-by-cell basis. However, aberrations can increase the risk of cancer.

Our antibody catalog contains a number of interleukin antibody products which are used in immunology research. Human interleukin 12, or IL-12 is a pro-inflammatory heterodimer which plays a central role in both innate and cell-mediated immunity, being the major cytokine in the TH1, NK and cytotoxic T-cell immune responses.

In 2002, an IL-12 antibody study by A. Schwartz et al showed IL-12 also suppressed apoptosis and promoted NER in vivo and in vitro. IL12-treated mice exposed to UVB showed a marked increase in cell survival, with a corresponding decrease in CPDs and apoptotic cells. Enhanced upregulation of NER genes was another noticeable factor.

Schwartz next used Xpa antibodies to develop a knockout mouse model for the human autosomal recessive disorder Xermoderma Pigmentosum (XP). XP sufferers have a faulty NER system, increased risk of skin cancer and hyperactivity to sunlight. The antibody results suggested the cancer risks associated with UVB-exposure may be reduced by harnessing IL-12 for NER therapy.
