7 Steps For Pressure Cleaning The Siding On Your Home Properly

House & GardenBy Espresso EducationSeptember 5, 2024

Many buildings have siding, and when a building is a residential home and the siding needs to be cleaned, it is often pressure cleaning which is the preferred option. Pressure cleaning is highly effective at removing many of the stubborn and unsightly stains and marks that can appear on siding such as grime, dirt, mildew, and mould.

If you have been looking at the exterior of your home, and in particular at your siding, and conclude it is time for pressure cleaning to restore your siding to its former glory, then you have made a wise choice. However, pressure cleaning is not just a case of hiring a pressure cleaner and pointing the wand at the exterior of your home. For it to be done safely and effectively, there are a series of steps you must follow.

We have outlined those steps below and narrowed them down to the seven key ones which will ensure your pressure cleaning works, and that no dangers or damage can arise to either you or your home.

Step #1 – Choose The Correct Pressure Cleaning Machine

We will assume that you do not own a pressure washer, therefore you will need to hire one. When doing so, be sure to explain to the hire company the purpose of hiring it is to clean sidings to ensure you will be provided with the correct washer.

The Transportation Options You Have When Organising A Funeral

EventsBy Espresso EducationSeptember 27, 2023

You might not immediately associate such diverse business types as funeral directors and the car industry; however, you should remember that in many cases, almost every funeral needs at least one car and multiple vehicles. The good news is that even if you are unsure what transportation you might need for the funeral of a loved one, funeral directors will be more than happy to advise and help you.

Part of the advice and help that funeral homes provides when organising a funeral will almost certainly include what types of transportation you will need and might want, given that there are several options. This article will briefly examine your funeral transportation options to help you better understand them.

The Hearse

Almost without exception, the one car that every funeral will require is the hearse, which is the car in which the coffin of the deceased is transported from the funeral home to the funeral service if it is to be held in another location, and then onwards to the cemetery or crematorium.

Hearses are large and akin to a station wagon and usually have multiple windows so that the coffin can be seen when it is inside. In most hearses, there will be two seats in the front, one of which is obviously for the driver, and the passenger seat is usually used by one of the funeral company companies such as the bearer.

A History Lesson On Cowboy Boots

A History Lesson On Cowboy Boots

FashionBy Espresso EducationMarch 23, 2023

There are many fashion items and items of clothing that have a long and fascinating history, and one which has a more exciting story than many others is cowboy boots. The truth of the matter is that cowboy boots have been around for so long and have become so iconic that whenever you research their history, several stories arise.

That has both its pros and cons, with the pros being that researching and reading about cowboy boots’ history can take you to many periods in history and several locations around the world. The cons are that you are never quite sure which of the many histories and origins of cowboy boots is the definitive one.

With that in mind, we thought it would be useful for fans of cowboy boots if we tried to piece together some historical stories of cowboy boots that seem to be agreed upon. Even so, we admit that without a time machine, we cannot verify any of it, so we must remain open to other versions of the history of cowboy boots.

Identifying the Benefits of Investing in a Truck Trailer

Events, TravelBy Espresso EducationMarch 15, 2023

Investing in a truck trailer is an important decision for most commercial transportation companies. Doing so would significantly help to be able to transport goods, increase your efficiency, and reduce your costs. But with so many types, sizes, and models on the market, it’s essential to do your research to make an informed choice that meets your needs and budget; you can do this by understanding each type of trailer’s features, capacity, and flexibility. Whether you’re looking for a flatbed trailer, a flat-top trailer, an enclosed trailer, a tilt or drop deck trailer, or a specialized trailer, this post will provide the necessary information to help you make a well-informed decision.

Maximizing payloads

Investing in a truck trailer is an excellent way to maximize their payloads and save on overhead costs; a trailer is designed to maximize the weight capacity allowing you to haul more items per load and reduce your transportation costs. Investing in a trailer reduces your carbon footprint, as fewer trips will be required for each shipment, thus reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, truck trailers can be customized to meet specific requirements, allowing businesses to take advantage of the latest technologies further to increase the efficiency and safety of their operations.

Minimizing fuel consumption

Switching to a trailer significantly reduces fuel consumption and your operational costs. They are designed now with aerodynamic wheels and are very lightweight, enabling the truck to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15%. This means you lower your operational costs and it also positively impacts the environment, which everyone wants for the plant.

Speech Milestones That Show A Preschool Child's Language Development Is On Track

Speech Milestones That Show A Preschool Child’s Language Development Is On Track

ParentingBy Espresso EducationNovember 30, 2022

As parents watch their beloved offspring grow from a baby into a pre-school child, there are many developments they look for, and within the realm of speech pathology, we know that speech and language are two of the most important. The ability of a child to understand the language they hear and then articulate it as they learn to speak is essential to a child’s development.

Thankfully, speech pathology has produced a roadmap for a child’s speech and language development, which provides parents with milestones based on their child’s age. The age that many speech pathologists consider critical is between 3 and 5, and this period of a child’s life is called their pre-school years.

As such, speech pathology has identified where a child’s language and speech skills should have reached throughout the 3 years or so they are considered pre-school children. One huge caveat and one which speech therapists often discuss with parents is that every child will develop in different ways and at different rates. It is therefore not wise to think that any child’s speech development will occur in a straight line.

The point we wish to stress is that whilst speech pathology has provided milestones, they are not a replica of how every child will develop, and that is why speech pathologists may consider a child’s language development to be on track, even if parents have concerns that their child is behind. As for those speech pathology milestones for pre-school children, we have outlined them below for both comprehension and expressive language at ages 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Limo Hire Versus Uber Hire

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Limo Hire Versus Uber Hire

EventsBy Espresso EducationAugust 10, 2022

In almost every aspect of your social life, you have choices, such as what restaurant to eat at, which movie to visit the cinema to watch, what holiday destinations you are going to this year, and if you wish to be driven in style to a location, whether to use limo hire or call for an Uber.

For many, the second option is what they choose, with the main reason cited being that Ubers are usually cheaper to hire than a limo car. That may be so, but surely if you have a special journey or event, you owe it to yourself to travel in comfort and even some degree of style? If you agree, then read on and we will outline five of the main reasons why you should choose limo hire over Uber hire.

Exceptional Comfort

Let us return to the point we made about travelling in style, and it cannot be argued against that travelling in a limo hire car will almost always provide you with greater comfort than an Uber car, which is likely to be a standard vehicle, the type of which you see on the roads every day. In some limo cars, you may even be able to put your feet up which you most definitely will not be able to do in an Uber car.

You Can Choose Your Vehicle

When you hire an Uber you almost certainly will not be given a choice of what car turns up. At best you might ask for a large car but even then it is likely not going to be a limo. Alternatively, when hiring a limo you can choose exactly the type, make, and model of the car you want, and whether than is a Fantasy Hummer, a vintage Rolls Royce, or a stretch limo, your choice of vehicle is what you get.

How To Break In New Western Boots And Prevent Them Hurting Your Feet

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationJuly 27, 2022

One of the biggest problems people can face when they first buy and wear new western boots is that the newness of the leather makes the boots somewhat rigid. The issue this causes is that feet can become sore as there is not yet enough flexibility in the leather to stop the boots from rubbing against feet and irritating them, or worse, causing blisters.

As the boots are worn, they become ‘broken in’ which simply means the leather starts stretching, creating flexibility, and this ultimately makes the boots comfortable and thus a joy to wear.

However, getting from the brand new stage to the broken-in stage can cause some people to almost give up on wearing their western boots because of the discomfort. For that reason we thought it would be useful to provide a few helpful tips on breaking in western boots and how to make the process quicker and easier for everyone.

Wear Your Boots

This might not be what you want to hear if your feet get sore when you wear your new western boots. However, refusing to wear your boots and leaving them sitting in the wardrobe is never going to see them broken in. If you can, wear them for a few minutes until the discomfort becomes a problem and take them off. Next time, wear them for a few minutes longer, and repeat for however many days are needed until they break in, and you can wear your boots all day.

How To Discuss Finances With Your Family To Reduce Your And Their Anxiety Levels

FinanceBy Espresso EducationJuly 27, 2022

Whenever an individual is meeting with financial planners to discuss their finances and manage them, that person might overlook the fact that their financial situation affects more than just them. Whatever levels of stress and anxiety they have relating to their finances and the potential for that to seriously affect both their mental and physical health, it also has to be membered that other members of their family may be adversely affected too.

Obviously, each person’s circumstances will be different depending on their age, marital status, and domestic situation. Some will be married, living with a partner, they may also have children,  and there are those whose parents live nearby.

In all these circumstances, and any other you might think of, when there is financial stress affecting one member of the family, it can negatively affect them all. This does not just apply to the financial health of the family, but as has been well documented, including in many medical journals and texts, there is a direct correlation between financial stress and poor mental and physical health.

Whilst talking to a financial planner is a great first step in trying to manage your finances, given that their advice and the financial plan they suggest will impact all in your household, you must be open with everyone affected. It is worth mentioning that even the act of sharing concerns with others can bring some relief to those bottling up their worries and concerns about their finances.

As for how you talk to your family about finances, be it yours or there’s it is not a case that one size fits all. In other words, depending on your relationship with each person in your family who may be affected, you should talk to them in a way that best helps reduce their anxiety related to the financial position in question. Below are three examples of what we mean.

Digital Marketing Career Opportunities That Could Exist In The Metaverse

BusinessBy Espresso EducationJune 22, 2022

Anyone who has ever worked in, studied, or used digital marketing, will know that it is a subject that evolves at an exceptionally rapid pace. A prime example of that is Google Updates, where, overnight, the rules relating to SEO and ranking websites are turned on their head.

In digital marketing new concepts appear constantly, and one which is attracting a huge amount of interest is the metaverse. You may be aware that Mark Zuckerberg is changing Facebook’s branding to Meta, however, the metaverse is a concept that goes beyond just Facebook.

The metaverse is said to be what the future of the internet will become and that is virtual reality. Not only is Facebook embracing this to build a virtual reality social platform, but others are too. Roblox, an online gaming platform,  plans to facilitate user-generated virtual reality games, and Epic Games is purchasing companies with the technology to augment its virtual reality gaming plans.

In effect, the metaverse is said to be the realm where you will have a digital ‘life’ that runs parallel to your physical world. You will have an avatar that lives in this virtual world where you can interact with others, be entertained, make purchases, and do many tasks that you can currently do online, but you would do so whilst immersed in virtual reality.

It might sound like something you might see in a sci-fi movie, but the reality is (no pun intended) the technology to create this virtual world is either already in existence or soon will be, and with the likes of Facebook already behind its creation, it is sure to come ever closer. What this also means is that a huge number of opportunities for employment relating to digital marketing will be created. Examples of these are as follows:

7 Commonly Asked Questions About Torque Tools

7 Commonly Asked Questions About Torque Tools

DIYBy Espresso EducationJune 15, 2022

The use of torque tools can be found across a large swathe of industrial and manufacturing environments as well as some DIY applications. Given their specific uses, they are tools that, for the most part, you would not normally find in the toolbox of most mechanics and engineers and even the most avid DIYers do not have first-hand knowledge of using torque tools.

That is why whenever the subject of torque and torque tools such as torque wrenches from robotictools.com.au comes up, there are invariably several common questions that get asked. Below are seven of those questions along with the answers which we hope will clarify the queries you may have about torque tools.

What Is Torque?

A great question to start with because if you understand what torque is it makes the application of torque tools and their specific uses much clearer. Torque is the turning force that is required to create rotation. A simple example would be a roulette table in a casino and the fact that each time the croupier spins the wheel they are applying torque to it.

How To Choose The Best Dog Day Care For Your Dog

How To Choose The Best Dog Day Care For Your Dog

ParentingBy Espresso EducationMay 11, 2022

Just as you would take great care in choosing a professional or service which is going to be caring for anything concerning the welfare of yourself or a family member, such as a dentist or chiropractor, that same diligence is necessary when choosing a dog day care centre for your dog. Thankfully, rogue dog day care centres are rare, but even within the choices of reputable dog day care centres, there will be differences in their competence and level of care.

For this reason, and assuming you want your beloved dog to be looked after to the highest level of care, then it is necessary for you to choose which centre they are going to visit each day carefully. If you have never chosen a dog day care centre before, this can be a somewhat daunting task, however, if you follow our advice below on selecting the best dog day centre for your dog, you should find making your selection easier.

  1. Do Your Initial Research

The first step is to research to determine which dog day care centres there are in your local area. This can be done by searching online, checking dog forums, and looking for local advertising, for example. At this stage, you may wish to eliminate any which are beyond your daily travel time limits as the last thing you want is to have to travel further to dog day care than you do for your work and thus add an inordinate amount of extra time to your daily schedule.

All You Need To Know About Stuttering In Children

ParentingBy Espresso EducationMay 4, 2022

If you were to ask members of the public without any firsthand experience of speech therapy nor ever having known someone who requires it, to name a speech development issue, there will be many whose answer will be stuttering. Whilst speech and language developments can come in many forms, it is stuttering which is probably best known to the general public.

For parents who have a child who stutters, it can be a worrisome scenario, but the good news is there are many excellent treatments for the condition at places such as CommuniKids and in the vast majority of cases the speech and languages skills of children who stutter ultimately develop normally as they grow and mature.

Three Types Of Stuttering

As you might surmise from the sub-heading above, stuttering is not a single condition but can arise in three distinct ways as outlined below. Note that not all stuttering is a childhood condition as it can occur in adults in certain circumstances.

Important Points You Should Be Aware Of Before You Plead Guilty To A Crime

Important Points You Should Be Aware Of Before You Plead Guilty To A Crime

LegalBy Espresso EducationMarch 16, 2022

When someone has been charged with a crime and is facing an appearance in court, discuss with their lawyer their options; one of them will be to plead guilty. Whilst few criminal lawyers are likely to make claiming guilty their first suggestion if the evidence against their client is overwhelming, and the likelihood of a conviction is strong, it may go from being a suggestion to their considered advice.

Every defendant has the right to plead not guilty and leave the issue of a conviction down to a judge or jury, but equally, they also have a right to assert guilty. A defendant will often choose to plead guilty to benefit from what is termed a ‘discount’ on their sentence.

This refers to the scenario where a defendant is given a sentence that is reduced from what it might have been, having gone to trial and been found guilty anyway. However, pleading guilty needs more thought than simply expecting to spend fewer years in jail or having a lesser penalty than expected.

Before anyone accused of a crime decides to plead guilty, they need to be made aware of several points of law, including those outlined below.

5 Health Benefits Of Spending Time In Your Landscaped Garden

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationFebruary 16, 2022

There are many reasons why people purposefully decide to use landscape design to enhance their gardens. It could be that they see it as an investment to increase the value of their property, they may be keen gardening enthusiasts, or they may simply want to improve the appearance of the exterior of their home.

Landscapers will tell you about one benefit of a landscaped garden, although many are unlikely to be aware of, is the positive effect that it can have on their health. By health, we are referring to both their physical and mental health. Now, you might be thinking we are talking about them growing medicinal plants in their garden, and whilst that can be done, we are instead talking more about specific health benefits that are derived from landscaping, as below.

Opportunities For Mobility And Exercise

Possibly the one health benefit that most people would identify as applying to landscaping is the opportunity it provides for mobility and exercise. Apart from being outdoors and walking around your garden, activities such as mowing the grass and maintaining your garden also require some physical effort. Your garden can also be a space where you can play sports or games with friends and family including your children, who will also benefit from these physical activities.

Growing Healthy Food

If you have set aside sections of your landscaping design to include the growing of vegetables and fruit plants, then you have another great opportunity to enhance your health. This time it will be due to you choosing to grow vegetables and fruits which are known to provide the most nutrition, especially if you grow them organically and without the use of chemical fertilisers and weed killers. Prime examples include kale, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, strawberries, and lemons.

5 Ways To Incorporate A Yoga And Meditation Sanctuary Into Your Landscaping Design

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationJanuary 19, 2022

Ask any psychologists or health and wellness experts what activities are ideal for promoting mental and physical health; we are sure many would suggest yoga and meditation. Yoga is an activity that not only enables good joint and muscular health but the relaxation and meditation gained from it is perfect for promoting mental health too.

If you can have your yoga or meditation sessions outside in the fresh air, all the better; creating a sanctuary in your landscaping design is ideal.

Of course, you could participate in yoga and meditation by sitting on your lawn. Still, this article will explore five ways your landscaping design can incorporate a yoga and meditation sanctuary within your garden and, expressly, what features will enhance that sanctuary.

Ensure The Sanctuary Is Well-Shaded

Spending some time bathed in sunshine is good for you, but when it comes time for yoga and meditation hot sun is not ideal. It will be hard to clear your mind to meditate if you are hot, thirsty, and sweat beads running down your face and back, so your sanctuary should be well-shaded. This can be achieved by surrounding it with tall bushes or having a shelter built with a roof or covered with light fabrics to create shade.

Provide Yourself Plenty Of Space With A Focal Point In The Centre

Although yoga does not require a large area to run around, unlike other activities, you still need space and freedom to move around freely. This should be considered when designing your sanctuary. It should also have a natural centre where you can focus your body and your mind. Therefore the shape of your cover should be square, triangular, or circular, as these all have an obvious centre point.

The History Of Nets

The History Of Nets

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationDecember 22, 2021

The craft of net making has been around for thousands of years and almost certainly precedes many of the crafts which we are more familiar with today such as metalwork and carpentry. Today, whilst some nets are still handmade, modern technology means the nets of all kinds, including custom nets, can be created at the push of a button.

The way in which modern nets are manufactured would seem like a different world from those who lived at the time of the first nets ever created. What is considered to be the earliest known net is called the ‘Net of Antrea’ which was unearthed in 1913 along with other ancient fishing equipment and is believed to date back to around 8300 BC, which equates with the stone age.

Although many ancient artifacts are uncovered in Africa and the Middle East, Antrea is actually in Russia and is now called Kamennogorsk. With no disrespect to the fine citizens of that Russian town, the ‘Net of Kamennogorsk’ does not sound quite as distinctive so we will stick with Antrea.

How Your Bad Online Reputation Can Get In the Way Of Your Job Hunt

BusinessBy Espresso EducationJune 30, 2021

In this digitally advanced era, it is important for everyone to maintain a good presence on the web. It is not just businesses that need the services of a competent digital marketing company to maintain an attractive presence, but those who are seeking jobs need to be aware of their search engine results as well.

There are many job hunters who conduct online research of candidates that they are considering for a position in their firm. They look into the comments and content associated with their name to ensure that the one that they are about to interview meets their requirements. So, if there are any negative comments and red flags associated to your name online, it will result in a bad first impression that will make you lose many great jobs.

Create a Solid Professional Profile

Now that you have learned that your online search results can have a huge impact on your career, it is time to do some research on your own. Type in your name in different search engines and see how well you are doing. If your search results in negative comments and inappropriate stuff from your social networks, then you need to cover them by updating your professional profile.

LinkedIn is a professional platform that also ranks well on Google and other search engines. Therefore, if you want only good things to appear with your name, then update your LinkedIn profile and let head hunters read only positive things about you.

Most Common Bathroom Renovation Mistakes

House & GardenBy Espresso EducationJune 10, 2021

If you have never undertaken a bathroom renovation before, it’s only natural to make mistakes. Those mistakes could be minor or significant, depending on how much planning you did before getting the renovation process underway.

Fortunately, the more homework you do before you renovate, the fewer mistakes you can make. Here are some of the most common bathroom renovation mistakes that are important to avoid.

Not Investing in Appropriate Ventilation
As you likely know, a bathroom is a hot and steamy environment. As a result, it’s a breeding ground for mould and mildew that can eventually lead to paint, metal, and grout deterioration.

To prevent such problems, make sure you have factored ventilation into your bathroom renovation. Don’t skimp on a bathroom fan – and make sure it suits the bathroom size. Doing so could save you thousands of dollars of repairs at a later date.

5 Tips To Prepare Properly For Carpet Cleaning

5 Tips To Prepare Properly For Carpet Cleaning

BusinessBy Espresso EducationApril 19, 2021

Even if you have already arranged for a professional carpet cleaning company to come to your childcare centre in order to clean your carpets, there is still a little bit of work you need to do first. This is to prepare your centre and, in particular, your carpets for cleaning to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

There are basically five steps to properly preparing for your childcare cleaning to happen, and here they are:

Vacuum The Carpet

Before any carpet can be cleaned properly, especially if it is going to be done professionally, it should be vacuumed. Most any commercial cleaning companies will do that anyway, but it does no harm for you to do so as well.

This is especially the case on those areas of the carpet which are most used, as these are likely to have more bits of small grit and dust, which you would want to remove at all times, whether the carpets are due to be cleaned or not.

Move Your Breakables

Professional cleaning companies will always take the utmost care when cleaning your carpets, but as they go about their work, they may come across items which are valuable or delicate. Here we are referring to any unique pieces of art or furniture, and other breakables that will be difficult if not impossible to replace.

For insurance reasons, they would not normally move these on their own, in case they break them. That is why it is always a good idea for you to walk through your centre in the areas which are going to be cleaned, and where possible, move items which are breakable out of harm’s way.

5 Reasons Why Lasik Eye Surgery May Not Be Suitable For You

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationApril 7, 2021

Lasik eye surgery is a fantastic route to take if you no longer wish to be burdened with wearing, cleaning, or replacing glasses or contact lenses in order to correct your vision. Whether you are long-sighted or short-sighted, being free to go about your daily routine without having to worry about your glasses breaking or your contact lenses becoming uncomfortable, makes a huge difference.

That is exactly what Lasik eye surgery can do for anyone who has the surgery. Now, that is the good news, but the bad news is, it might be the case that laser eye surgery is not suitable for you. Unfortunately, there were a number of reasons why someone might not be recommended to have Lasik eye surgery.

This could be temporary, meaning it might be possible in the future, or it could be permanent meaning it can never be considered. Even so, there may be other options open to anyone for whom Laser eye surgery is not possible.  One of these is Lasek eye surgery and another is intraocular lens implants

To check whether you fall into any of the categories of people where Lasik eye surgery is not suitable, here are some of those reasons.

You Are a Nursing Or Expectant Mother

Although pregnancy and having a child is a wonderful experience, sadly, it is not the time to be having Lasik eye surgery. The fluctuations in hormones that new and expectant mothers experience causes changes in the cornea, and there is also a risk that medication prescribed to help combat infection might harm unborn babies or newly born babies who are being nursed.

One prime example of this is when someone is in Bali, either because they’re there on holiday, or they had otherwise planned to have other dental treatment, such as cosmetic dentistry. Regardless of why they are there, the question arises as to what you can and should do if they need for emergency treatment arises whilst you are in Bali.

The first piece of advice we can give you is not to panic, and that applies whether you are in Bali or any other country for that matter. All places you are likely to visit will have local dentists, and assuming you have some form of travel insurance, arrangements should be able to be made quickly for you to see a dentist as soon as possible.

Even without travel insurance that would cover your medical costs,  in many countries, including Bali, the price of emergency dental treatment is a lot lower than it is in Australia, so should you need to pay for treatment at the time, the cost should be much less than you might have expected it to be.

One thing that might be somewhat confusing is determining what is classed as emergency dental treatment, and which treatments come under the umbrella of cosmetic dental treatment. If someone suddenly lost a tooth, they claim replacing it with a dental implant and crown, is an emergency, whilst others might say that should be considered cosmetic dental treatment.

A lost tooth certainly would be regarded as emergency dental treatment, as would any of the following symptoms or conditions if they arose:

  • Broken or cracked tooth
  • Missing or loose fillings
  • Misaligned or loose teeth
  • Lost dentures or bridge
  • Constant or severe pain in teeth and gums

5 Crucial Elements of Web Design

BusinessBy Espresso EducationMarch 10, 2021

Some elements of web design are not as important as others. One thing’s for sure, you have to make your website easy for potential customers to use, otherwise they will leave in droves and never return. The 5 crucial elements of web design below all contribute something to ease of use, so by implementing them you have a much better chance that visitors will stay long enough to become customers.

  • Space is now being understood in a way that it never was before. It may seem strange to think that white space – which is essentially nothing – can be so important. What it does is increase flow and readability on the website. It is also important in the context of the other elements on the page. There is space between lines of text, between words and letters, and between images and text. It is important to ensure that the use of space is consistent throughout. For instance, you need to same amount of space between all images and text; don’t vary it. But it can be different from the amount of space between paragraphs, for example. And space can also be coloured. Plenty of space around text and buttons makes them stand out so they catch the eye more easily.
  • Easy to understand navigation. Navigation is what guides people around your website and leads them towards the action you want them to take. The simpler it is, the better experience the user will have. No one wants to stumble through a maze of text, never sure where they are heading or how to get back.

Running with a Waist Trainer

Running with a Waist Trainer

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationMarch 3, 2021

If you find yourself fascinated by the idea of wearing a waist trainer from waisttrainersaustralia.com.au during exercise, you probably have a few questions. One of the more common questions is, can you run with a waist trainer? In short, the answer is yes. But there’s a bit more you need to know before you try it, so we asked the experts at Fitness Risk Management for their thoughts, and here they are!

Can You Wear a Waist Trainer While Running?

Buying waist trainers for exercise is something that many people do. However, some types of exercise can be more beneficial than others. For example, cardio workouts are the most preferred option for anyone wearing waist trainers.

So, you can wear a waist trainer while running. They stimulate core body heat, and the high compression of superior materials like latex can help you sweat harder. Your run may be medium-intensity, but a waist trainer can take it to that next level without you needing to put in all that much extra effort.

What You Need to Know Before Running with a Waist Trainer

Once you decide that you’d like to try running and cardio exercises with a waist trainer, there are several things to consider first; remember, you can sweat much more with a waist trainer than without one. What you sweat out, you must put in.

Remember to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workout. If you typically work out during summer or warmer parts of the day, reconsider your timing.

How A Business Can Take Legal Action To Recover Unpaid Debts

How A Business Can Take Legal Action To Recover Unpaid Debts

Business, LegalBy Espresso EducationFebruary 24, 2021

It is a key function within any business that monies which are owed to it are paid and paid in a timely manner as, if they are not, it can cause serious cash flow issues. Unfortunately, unpaid bills and outstanding invoice payments can happen regularly, and if you are suffering as result, then it may be time to speak to a commercial lawyer to ask them what steps you can take to remedy this problem.

The first step that your commercial lawyer is likely to recommend you take is to for them to send a letter of demand to the person or the business that owes you the debt. Normally this will outline the payment which is due and demand that it is paid within a certain number of days.

You cannot normally claim any costs related to the letter of demand, for example, the fee charged by your commercial or debt recovery lawyer to write and send the letter. However, if there was a clause within the contract for the goods or services the debt relates to that specifically stated that the cost of recovering any debt would be payable, then you can add these costs.

In many cases, a well-crafted letter from your commercial lawyer will be the virtual nudge that the debtor needs to send the payment. They may request that they be allowed to pay in instalments which in most cases you should allow them to do, rather than pursue them for the payment in full , knowing that they are unlikely or unable to pay.

Obtaining A Costs Order Against Your Ex-Partner

Obtaining A Costs Order Against Your Ex-Partner

LegalBy Espresso EducationFebruary 16, 2021

One element of divorce proceedings which often has clients worriedly calling their divorce lawyer is when the issue of who will pay the legal fees for the process and proceedings. One concern that often gets raised is that one spouse has been threatened by the other that they will be responsible for paying not only their own legal fees but those of their ex-partner.

Family lawyers advise that this threat can come from either side of the marriage, so on occasion, it will be the wife threatening her husband, but it can also come from the husband too, whereby he tells his wife that she will be left with the bill. We should point out right away that in reality, unless other factors are in play,  the likelihood of costs being awarded, whereby one party to the divorce pays them all, is slim.

To put some numbers on that, a recent legal survey found that of all divorce cases, in less than 20% of them, a claim was made by one spouse that their ex-partner should be liable for the legal fees. In addition, looking at all divorce cases in the Family Court, a mere 2% saw all the legal costs awarded to one of the spouses.

Whilst it may be rare, your ex-partner may claim legal costs, so you should be prepared for it, just in case. Bear in mind your ex-partner has every right to make such a claim, and depending on how you have behaved in terms of cooperating about the divorce process, is how any court will determine whether to grant that claim or not.

Conversely, instead of challenging a cost order made by your ex-partner, you might believe you should make a cost order against them. If they have proved to be uncooperative and even to the extent of being intrusive about the divorce, such as claim may be justified, albeit there is no guarantee it will be successful.

Net suppliers manufacture nets of all kinds, and on occasion will even produce a net made to a unique specification.

That being said, such is the ingenuity of people that they will often take a net that will have been designed for one specific purpose and use it for another. This could be work related, although they will obviously need to be to carry out a safety assessment to ensure that a net used in the workplace is safe for the purposes they to wish to use it for.

More likely, people will use nets in circumstances that are not related to work, and thus are more within the realms of fun and recreation. Whilst there may still need to be some consideration to the net’s safe use, in most cases it will be fine, and thus able to be put to some use that they and others can enjoy or benefit from.

To give you an insight into the sorts of uses we are talking about, below are but 4 of the many unusual ways in which a net can be used. You will note that given the sorts of activities we are including, the net which is used certainly needs to be a larger net, such as the type used in relation to securing cargo.

Could Coffee Be Causing Your Migraines?

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationJanuary 26, 2020

Migraines are a health problem that affects many people’s lives. Around ten percent of the world’s population suffers from them, and women more so than men. Research even shows that migraines can run in families and that everyday things can trigger them.

Some people find that particular food or beverages bring about a migraine, or even stress, a lack of sleep, hunger, or bright lights. Everyone is different, which is what makes managing migraines that much harder.

However, one thing that researchers are now discovering is that two caffeinated beverages are not associated with migraine odds, but three could be.

According to a study published in the American Journal of Medicine, those who have three or more caffeinated beverage servings per day would be more likely to suffer from a migraine attack either on that day or the next. The dose and frequency play a role in this study too.

The research team, led by Elizabeth Mostofsky, ScD, analysed data from 98 adults who suffered from episodic migraines. Episodic migraines are around 14 headaches per month, and chronic migraines are defined as 15 or more per month.

Each study participant had to fill out an electronic diary twice-daily for six weeks. In it, they recorded when they drank caffeinated beverages, the timing of them, their lifestyle factors, and descriptions of the migraine attacks.

Best Lighting Options in Landscape Design

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationApril 21, 2019

After spending a lot of money on plants, path materials, and other accessories for your home improvement, you’ll agree your property now looks a million dollars. However, what does it look like at night time? Sure, it looks incredible during the day, but when it’s dark, what do you see? Likely nothing. With the help of home improvement advice experts, here is how to light up your yard to make the most of that incredible landscape design, similar to the commercial landscaping projects you see at night.

Uplighting

Nothing will show your landscaping off better than great lighting. Uplighting is a relatively new concept, but one that many landscape design experts are welcoming with open arms. Uplighting is the concept of casting a wash of light or a wide beam from the ground upward, enhancing architectural features of your home. It brings warmth, accentuates the best parts of your property, and looks stunning. As a bonus, it also acts as a form of security to lighten those dark areas of the yard.

Solar Path Lighting

If you’ve forgotten about the washing on the line and it’s now dark, then you’ve got a battle on your hands to get to it. If you had solar path lighting, however, it wouldn’t be a problem. An expert in landscape design trends would always incorporate lighting into their plans, but not every homeowner would consider it.

Fortunately, solar path lighting can be an afterthought with no adverse effects. Buy appropriate stake lighting and stab it into the grass that edges your path. You’ll find your way to the washing line with no problems at all.

Tips For Cleaning Stainless Steel Parts Of Your Glass Pool Fence

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationJanuary 21, 2019

Pool fencing is a legal requirement throughout Australia. Glass pool fencing from Clear Az Glass has become one of the most popular fence styles due to its modern appearance and aesthetic appeal. Most glass fences comprise two components – heavy-duty glass panels and stainless steel (or aluminium) metal fixings, which hold the glass panels in place.

The key to maintaining the appearance of your glass pool fence is ensuring you keep it clean and in good condition. There are a few different things that you can do to make sure that your fence stays in top condition, but cleaning the stainless steel fittings is one of the most important.

Keeping stainless steel clean and shiny can be difficult at the best of times. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a short list of tips to help you keep your pool fence’s stainless steel components sparkling for years!

  1. Warm Water & Soap Is Usually Plenty

Stainless steel is made to be easy to clean, so you should usually only have to use a mixture of warm water and soap to remove built-up dust and grime. Wipe over the surface of your stainless fittings, removing as much dirt as possible. Rinse with clean water and dry with a lint-free cloth to achieve the best appearance possible.

  1. Use A Toothbrush

Getting into the corners and around tight-fitting areas of stainless steel pool fence fittings can be difficult with a cloth and water. If these areas are left dirty, they will bring the appearance of your whole fence down, which means it’s essential to get to them somehow.

One of the best ways to do this is to use a simple toothbrush dipped in soap. Use the toothbrush to scrub areas that you couldn’t otherwise get to, and make sure that you rinse the area with clean water afterwards.

Invisalign

Why You Need Lawyers for a Binding Financial Agreement

LegalBy Espresso EducationNovember 23, 2018

Some things – like writing a Will – don’t need to be done by a lawyer, but an experienced family law firm is essential to create a Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) between two parties that is considered legal. Unfortunately, the breakdown of relationships these days is a common occurrence, so couples often make such an agreement before the marriage in order to protect their assets.

So if you are going to do this there will need to be not one, but two lawyers involved; one to act on your own behalf and one to act on behalf of your fiancée. Each one has to give their client – you and your fiancée – separate legal advice and they then have to sign a Certificate saying that they did so. Without these Certificates, the BFA will not be legally enforceable. Each party must be given a copy of both Certificates.

The Binding Financial Agreement is a legal document that can be quite complex. It can only be drafted by a solicitor or family law specialist lawyer after careful consultation with the client. Once this has been done and it has been signed by both parties, it will be extremely difficult for one partner to have it set aside by the court.

Beating the Winter Blues

BusinessBy Espresso EducationSeptember 3, 2018

“Winter is coming!” is the catchphrase in the TV show Game of Thrones. And that may mean a person can feel a bit down. This is a situation in which a plumber may be unable to help. 😊

It’s a familiar feeling. About 20% of the population is affected by SAD this time of the year, Seasonal Affective Disorder. Yes, they have an acronym for it! This website has a lot of good information about having a healthy home, but a healthy mind is also pretty important. Home health and mental health probably go together, hand in hand. If you want to lighten up as winter sets in, here are a few ideas that might help.

  • Open your curtains or blinds and let the world inside.

Sit near windows whenever possible.

SAD is caused by a lack of sunlight. Natural light is there even on a cloudy day; soak it up.

  • Buy and set up a daylight lamp.

Some lamps simulate daylight, boost your energy, and be a mood changer on dreary, dull days. Check out Amazon for one of these.

  • Action! Motion!

Do away with anxiety and depression by indulging your body in a bit of exercise to improve your fitness. That doesn’t mean joining a gym, either. Rug up and go for a walk around the neighbourhood. Buy a yoga mat and follow a YouTube video.

Straighten Your Teeth

How to Straighten Your Teeth

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationJuly 3, 2018

As an adult or a teen, you may find yourself looking in the mirror wondering how to make your teeth that little bit straighter. According to Dentists, not everyone has the benefit of naturally straight teeth, so it might be time to see your dentist to find out the various options available. You may be surprised to know that braces, while on the list, aren’t your only option of dental care.

Retainers

If overcrowding in your mouth is causing your teeth to be crooked, then your dentist may recommend retainers. Retainers not only help to straighten your teeth, but they can stop them from shifting while repairing your bite at the same time. To fit retainers in place, a dentist uses dental cement which holds them in your mouth. It’s a comfortable, long-term solution that can often be more suitable for overcrowding than braces are.

Palatal Expanders

A dentist will often recommend a palatal expander for children with mouths that will be too small for incoming adult teeth. The expander widens the arch where your upper teeth are, creating additional room and allowing teeth to move into a more natural position. Using dental cement, your dentist will secure the expander to the top molars, creating pressure on the jaw, so new bone grows into place. Palatal expanders are, for the most part, invisible and produce minimal discomfort.

Braces

The most effective way in which to straighten your teeth is with braces. However, braces are no longer as intrusive as they used to be – much to the delight of children and teenagers. Thanks to a brand known as Invisalign, most people won’t even know they’re there. What’s more, appointment times with Invisalign are 50 percent faster.

Benefits of Wearing Gold Jewellery

For centuries, gold was viewed as a symbol of wealth – both in ornament form and in jewellery. Today, it is a much-loved accessory you can buy from a jewellery store and wear with a range of garments. While the view of gold may have changed from what it once was, there is one thing that people in both modern times and ancient times believe to be true: that it can be beneficial for your body.

While scientific evidence is limited and often circumstantial, many people swear by gold – both in jewellery and colloidal form to help with common ailments. Whether you believe it to be true or not, you may find the following information to be helpful when buying your next gold pieces from jewellers.

Skincare

Modern skincare medicine usually is very effective, but there has to be a reason why Cleopatra once made a face mask out of pure gold with the intention of keeping her skin youthful and glowing. According to modern research, she wasn’t too far off the money with her theory. Gold can help to keep that radiant and youthful glow you always wanted, and as a result, it features in many high-quality beauty products.

Teeth Whitening

Why You Should Talk To Your Dentist About Teeth Whitening

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationMay 23, 2018

Teeth whitening is not something that should be done without consulting your dentist first, especially if you have had dental work done on your teeth in the past.  There are several reasons for teeth to look discoloured or stained and some of those reasons will not respond to any whitening agent at all.  What are they?

  • Dental decay. Decays can make your teeth look as if they are stained, but the cause of the discolouration goes deep into the tooth. The decay must be filled before any whitening treatment is undertaken. Bleach can make a dental cavity worse.
  • Caps or crowns. If you’ve had a broken tooth replaced by a cap or crown, it can become yellowish compared to your natural teeth, but whitening methods don’t work on it because it is not made from enamel and dentin, like normal teeth are.  So while the surrounding teeth may become whiter after treatment, the cap will remain the same colour. In fact, it will probably look dingier in comparison.

Roll on lawn is becoming more and more popular throughout most Australian cities. It presents a very simple and straightforward method of installing a new lawn, and is both affordable and easy to do. If you are considering purchasing some roll on turf, it is very important to buy it from a reputable turf farm – as opposed to someone selling a bit of grass on the side.

You might have problems with it dying from diseases, with it not being as lush and good looking as promised, or with it being difficult to lay. Following are our top four reasons why you should always buy your lawn from a decent turf farm like Carabooda Lawn:

You can choose to invest your super in anything from property to shares to commodities. SMSFs are a great choice for people who are experienced when it comes to investing and who believe that they can get better returns than their currents super fund managers.

5 Ways to Choose a Name for Your Fencing Business

Business, DIYBy Espresso EducationJanuary 19, 2018

Every business should have a name to make it easy for people to remember, to go on their tax and advertising, not to mention their website. Choosing a name for your fencing business need not be that difficult when you take into account the things you want out of it. Top of the list would be that you want to get lots of fencing work; having just the right name can help you achieve this goal.

The name you choose for your business needs to reflect stability and reliability of course, but there are certain other considerations to take into account. Since many lists of things including businesses in a phone book are done alphabetically, having a business name starting with Z will ensure your business is at the bottom of the list. Is this what you really want?

  • Of course, most people will choose several out of a list to consider, when searching for the right business to deal with. But having your name at the very bottom is not such a good idea. A lot of businesspeople prefer a name starting with A so their business listing will be right at the top of the list. They might choose a name that starts with the word, Acme.

Branding

The Evolution and Effectiveness of Branding

BusinessBy Espresso EducationDecember 16, 2017

For ages, branding has been defined as the creation of a name, slogan, design or symbol that differentiates you and your products from the competition. Nowadays, a brand has adopted a wider definition.

It is no longer limited to just a slogan or a symbol, it has become a perception – the image induced when a company name is heard, or thought of. Branding can be linked directly to the customer’s behavior.

This can be described as an embodiment of what a company represents from the customer’s perspective and can be influenced by surrounding words, elements and creativity.

According to digital marketing agency, Slinky Digital: the main objective of branding is to view you as the only ones who provide a solution to their problem or fulfill their needs. It is not limited to getting your target audience to opt for your products or services over the competition.

There are 5 goals that a good branding strategy will set itself to achieve:

  • Delivering your message clearly
  • Establishing your credibility
  • Using pathos to create a connection between your service or product and the target market
  • Provide motivation to buy what you offer
  • Ultimately create a loyal customer base

The key towards a branding success story is the understanding of who your target customers are at every stage. It is how a company or organisation expresses themselves to others and what they are offering.

Drug-Addiction

The Effect of Addictive Drugs on the Brain

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationNovember 25, 2017

Drug addiction is a physical problem that can’t be recovered from by determination or ‘trying’ harder. It usually requires undertaking drug rehabilitation at a facility for the best results, especially if counselling for other problems is also undertaken.  Taking drugs has a physical effect on the brain that is part of why addiction happens.

When drugs are taken the brain is flooded with the chemical dopamine, known as one of the ‘feel-good’ chemicals. This is the same effect that happens when we indulge is pleasurable activities like eating and spending time with our loved ones. Only with drugs, the amount of dopamine released is far greater. Basically, the brain is overstimulated.

What happens next is because of this over stimulation the brain tends to make less dopamine and it also lessens the ability of cells in the reward circuit to respond to it. So the person who is taking the drugs becomes more tolerant of them and must take more to get the same amount of ‘high’ they got in the first place. But that’s not all.

When other things that once made them feel good are done again, the result is much less of the feel-good effect than usual. Thus, eating, spending time with loved ones and so on don’t make the person feel good like they used to.  Because they don’t get the same feelings of pleasure, they turn to drugs even more in order to have that feeling.

How to Have Violence Restraining Orders Set Aside

LegalBy Espresso EducationNovember 4, 2017

Violence Restraining Orders (VRO) are taken out by someone who is afraid due to being intimidated or abused in some way, against the perpetrator. It is a legal document, the terms of which are dictated in accordance with the specific situation it is meant to prevent. An experienced criminal law firm may suggest taking out a VRO on someone to prevent them contacting you in any way, thus alleviating a situation and preventing escalation of the problem.

If you have been served with a VRO you should carefully consider consulting a lawyer’s list to find professional legal advice as you have to follow the terms of it carefully, otherwise you will be fined or could face a gaol term. If you feel that it is not necessary or that the terms will make life hard for you – for instance, if you will lose your job because of it – you can apply to have it changed or set aside.

What to do Before Applying for a Binding Financial Agreement

Finance, LegalBy Espresso EducationOctober 2, 2017

A binding financial agreement is usually sought from the courts when a relationship has broken down and the parties have divorced. In some cases the distribution of assets can be decided between the two parties without recourse to a court decision on the matter, but most often there is no agreement, so the matter must be decided by the Family Law Court and both parties should be represented by experienced family lawyers such as Robertson Hayles.

However, you can’t simply apply for a court decision as soon as the divorce is final. First of all, seek advice from a family lawyer and if this is too costly for you, there is a free legal service available through the Family Relationship Advice Line or the Legal Aid Service in your state.

Using a dispute resolution service

The Family Law Courts require you to have genuinely attempted to come to an agreement through a dispute resolution service. The benefits of going this route are that you have more control over the process and it is much more affordable, not to mention quicker. So you can get on with your new life much more quickly when you work out an agreement with these people.

  1. There is a kitchenette and living area for your own use so you can brew a coffee or eat whenever you feel like it.

8 Points to Remember About Drug Addiction

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationAugust 15, 2017

While the thought of a loved one or anyone else suffering from drug addiction may make you feel bad, there is almost always hope. Most drug rehab centres have great programmes to get the addict off drugs and heading back to a normal life. If you know a person who is addicted to drugs, picking a drug rehab facility and encouraging them to get treatment is essential; the sooner they undergo treatment the more successful it will be.

Here are 8 points to remember about drug addiction:

  • In spite of the many harmful consequences, drug addicts cannot get off the drugs on their own, just by trying harder. It is a chronic disease where drug use is compulsive and uncontrollable due to changes in the brain.
  • Brain changes continue to occur while ever the person takes drugs. This can lead to behavioural changes such as lack of self control and the inability to resist the urge to take more drugs.
  • Drug addiction is a relapsing disease. If the addict relapses it means the treatment regime was not successful and should be changed the next time.
  • Most drugs cause the brain to produce an oversupply of the chemical dopamine which is what causes the intense pleasurable ‘high’.

If you’re planning to go to rehab, well done! Respect.

Thousands of people know that heading to drug rehab to get control of their lives back was the best decision that they ever made. What a large percentage also know, is that the night before rehab, was scary. But they got through it, and changed their lives for the better, and wouldn’t want it any other way.

You’re about to leave your life for a designated amount of time, you will be with strangers, you contact with the outside world will be limited and possibly monitored, you don’t know what’s going to happen at drug rehab, what will the people be like, what will they make you do, and withdrawal looms, how is it going to feel, will you be able to bear it?

What Do You Want From Your Holiday In Bali?

TravelBy Espresso EducationApril 14, 2017

You may think there is only one thing anyone would want on their holiday to Bali and that is fun. But there are different kinds of fun and what one person likes is not necessarily what another would think of as fun. For instance, some people go to Bali for the amazing theme park with some of the longest water slides in the world, while others are more intent on seeing the temples or other sights. Still others want to go on hikes or white water rafting.

So before you set off, or even book accommodation in Bali, think what it is you really want to do when you get there. Once you know the main areas of your activities you will be able to book accommodation that is near to them and save time and costs in travelling. If you ask Bali accommodation experts Easy Villas Bali villas are a good choice of accommodation as most have pools so you don’t have to depend on going to a beach if you want to cool off or just take a dip.

Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationMarch 30, 2017

Root canal treatment is needed when a decay is left untreated for a long time and the infection gets into the root of the tooth. You will need to see a dentist to treat the tooth to remove the pulp where the nerve is. This essentially leaves the tooth without feeling and it will lose its colour and go greyish, but it will remain in the socket and can be used for many more years.

This is better than the alternative of having it pulled out and missing the use of the tooth, which will impact your ability to chew food properly. And if the tooth is visible when you smile, you’ll have an unsightly gap there, so you’ll want to have a part-plate made to replace it and this will be a further expense, not to mention it takes a while to get used to having a plate.

Bali Travel Tips

TravelBy Espresso EducationMarch 2, 2017

Bali is one of the most popular tourist destinations with Australians, partly because the air fares and accommodation are so reasonable. And because it is quite close to our shores, you don’t waste a lot of time travelling. Bali offers plenty to do and see and the nightlife is something that attracts many young people. If you are thinking of Bali as your next overseas destination, there are some must-dos before you travel, but here are some travel tips to make your holiday even more spectacular.

  • Many people book accommodation in one of the hotels, but according to holiday booking experts Luxury Villas Bali luxury villas can be a good alternative and sometimes closer to the beach. Since the beaches and surf are often a big drawcard, it is better to stay close to them than have to travel out of the city every time you want to surf.
  • There are many different types and locations when it comes to villas in Bali. You can book into a cabin that is part of a resort and have all the advantages right on your doorstep. Or you can have accommodation that is more private, away from all the other cabins. You can even have your own chef and a chauffeur driven car, if you book them ahead of time. The latter is an excellent choice if you want to enjoy the nightlife but are not sure of getting home afterwards.
  • You may think that shorts and t-shirts are all you need for a trip to Bali, but many clubs enforce a higher standard dress code, so it will pay you to take at least one ‘good’ outfit.

Tips for Increasing Your Property Value

DIY, Finance, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationFebruary 22, 2017

There is no doubt about it, landscaping increases the value of your property. Not only does it make your property look beautiful, it shows everyone that it is a well-cared for property. If you wanted to buy a property you would certainly be less interested in one that had long, straggly grass, half-dead shrubs and weed-filled gardens. You would even suspect that the roof might leak, just by looking at the garden!

Whether you are selling your home or not, it is easy and fun to get your outside area into great shape, especially knowing that the value of the home will rise by up to 11%, as discovered by a Michigan University study. Here are some tips that will provide good value in your landscaping or garden maintenance efforts.

  • Create edgings around your garden and lawn. This can be simply done by digging a narrow edge with a spade, or you can use bricks, bush rocks or other media. Defining the edges somehow makes it all look so much tidier.
  • You can use plants for many things apart from just beauty. They can screen an ugly fence, give privacy from nosy neighbours, add cool shade and even create a fence. Purchase mature plants from a nursery if you can’t wait for that hedge to grow.

In some cases the police will let you go after you’ve been charged without any need for bail. However, you must agree to attend court on the date set, whether you get out on bail or not. There are two types of bail; police bail and court bail.

Can You Really Handle that Home Renovation?

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationJanuary 29, 2017

Colray Cabinets reported this month, that many handymen and women just love the feel of power tools in their hands and the satisfaction of completing a job such as building kitchen cabinets. The trouble is that they can easily get into strife when they take on a job that is a bit too much for them. For a start, handyman power tools are usually not strong enough to use for a big carpentry job. You risk wearing out the tool and having to replace it, or having to purchase a commercial tool instead, for a great deal more money.

Putting together a flat pack may seem simple enough, but do you have anywhere to do it safe from the children?  Kids always want to help and can easily be injured, injure someone else or ruin the project when they get into things they shouldn’t touch. Building cabinets in the kitchen is not a good idea. Doing it on the back deck is better, but still not ideal.

Besides, flat pack cupboards are not always suitable for a kitchen that is already built. They may not fit into the space, especially if the kitchen is an old one, perhaps built before metric measuring came into being. Cabinetry is an important part of the kitchen for storage and is highly visible. If your cupboards look amateurish it will spoil the look of the whole kitchen – possibly the whole house, if you have an open floor plan.

Professional cabinet makers are used to dealing with odd measurements in renovations and they are perfectionists in taking measurements, so they are more likely to get it right. They’ve had lots of experience creating beautiful cabinetry for kitchens and other places. They could make a built-in wardrobe or laundry cupboards with ease. And they do it for a living, so they are sure to have insurance in case of an accident.

How to Start Divorce Proceedings

Once a marriage has completely broken down, one or both parties usually file for divorce.  It is a good idea to consult with family lawyers to find out the best way to proceed. Most will tell you that there must be a separation of 12 months before you can start divorce proceedings. In fact, this cannot be done until 12 months and one day after the separation.

Fortunately for those people who would find it financially difficult to live somewhere else, a couple can be legally separated while still residing in the same home. The court may require proof of separation and this can be given in several ways.

Who Should do the Electrical Maintenance Work in Your Home?

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationDecember 27, 2016

It is very easy for the home handyman to think it’s okay for him to fix small electrical problems around the house. After all, it can’t be that hard to take apart an old light switch or power point and install a new one, can it? Every trained electrician would tell you that it is illegal for the DIYer to do work like this, even if it appears to be easy. In fact, if it is not done correctly it’s likely to electrocute someone.

Electrical maintenance work should only be done by a licensed electrician such as Electrician Perth Experts because of its inherent danger. It is fatally easy to do some small thing wrong and it can result in a house fire or worse, loss of life.  Government regulations allow only small things to be done by the untrained person and you can be in trouble if you repair or replace light switched yourself.

Botox

What is in Botox?

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationSeptember 2, 2016

A toxin from the bacteria that causes botulism is used to make Botox or botulinum toxin type A. Botox is well known as being used by celebrities and others to reduce or prevent wrinkles. It does this by paralysing the muscle into which it is injected. The effects are not permanent as the body works to remove this toxin, even though it is in a very weakened form. The amounts used are very small and in a diluted state, which is why Botox work is very safe to do, even though it springs from the toxin of a bacteria that causes food poisoning.

The many uses of Botox

Botox is not only used in the pursuit of smooth skin. It can be used to alleviate the symptoms of many nasty diseases and conditions, including migraine, upper motor neuron syndrome, blepharospasm, (uncontrollable twitching of the eyelid) and bruxism (teeth grinding), underarm sweating and overactive bladder, to mention just a few.

Generally speaking, it works to paralyse or weaken a muscle that is working more than it should, or to relax a muscle that is too tight. Or it can work by blocking a nerve that is causing some kind of problem, making sufferers’ lives that little bit easier to bear.

Here are some tips for newcomers to Bali that will help you get the most out of your holiday in this popular tourist destination.

  1. If you don’t want to buy, don’t ask the price. While this is accepted in Australia, it will only make the Balinese vendors chase you down the street trying to sell you something. It’s better to not even stop or make eye contact unless you are a serious shopper.
  2. If you want to shop, make sure you are somewhat familiar with Australian prices because these days the prices are not what they were. That said, you can haggle if you want, but do it respectfully.

Many people don’t really understand what moderation is because it is different for women and men, and whether you are having it with a meal or alone. Women have less water in their body and different enzymes than men, so they need to drink less. Moderation for women is one glass a day and for men, 2 glasses.

The Consequences of Shareholder Disputes

Business, LegalBy Espresso EducationAugust 15, 2015

When you have a business with shareholders one thing you have to watch out for is a dispute between the shareholders and directors. This can arise if the shareholders don’t get much in the way of return for their investment and they blame the director for mismanagement. It is essential to have commercial lawyers, who know all about your business to try and reduce the damage as much as possible and get things back on track.

The consequences of not clearing the problem up are serious and can even be disastrous.

They can include:-

  • Loss of reputation and potentially, lost custom and income for the business
  • A great deal of emotional trauma for those involved
  • Loss of control for the director/s
  • Possible legal action against the company if it is found the director/s are doing the wrong thing
  • Litigation that can drag on for many months and cost more than you can pay
  • Dissolution of the business

Some disputes are simple and can easily be solved by firing the director if they have done the wrong thing. But others can be a great deal more complex and include many different factors that the directors cannot be held responsible for, such as a market downturn.

Most kids love to have unlimited access to a pool; they would be in it for hours every day if they could. However, parents are not always the same. As you get older, it takes more effort to go swimming in the backyard pool and you probably have many other things you would like to do instead. So now that the kids have left home or are more interested in their hairstyles than swimming, is that backyard pool gathering metaphorical dust? Why not convert it into something else? Something that could become a very interesting hobby. What?

A fish pond! This is not only ecologically sustainable, but you will have a great supply of fresh fish on hand for dinner.  We tend to think of a fish pond as something about knee high holding rarely seen fish only a few centimetres long. If your swimming pool was converted to a fish pond there would be no reason not to grow fish to eat in it. It is deep and big enough that many fish would thrive.

Even though you pride yourself on being a handyman there are some maintenance or renovation jobs you just cannot do. It may be that what is needed is outside of your field of expertise, it’s illegal for an unqualified tradesman to do it or it requires the tools that you don’t have and that are not worthwhile purchasing because you wouldn’t use them enough to get the value out of them. So when you have to hire a professional handyman here are some tips to ensure you get it right.

  • Make sure the handyman can do the job you want done. Not all skilled handymen do all jobs, or they may not be qualified for all work, such as plumbing and electrical work.
  • Ask them to show you their liability insurance as well as their other professional qualifications.
  • Use someone local as long as they have all the qualifications you need. That way you will pay less for travelling time.
  • Ask around to see if you can get recommendations on the quality of their work. They may even take before and after photos for their portfolio or website.

How Important is Logo Design?

BusinessBy Espresso EducationMarch 2, 2014

If you are trying to create a memorable brand name, the logo design you use for your business will play a big part in it, but not necessarily straight away. It takes time and energy to get a brand well-known and it may never go international or even national, depending on what it is. That’s not to say the logo is any less important.

When it comes to logo design, it is important to be both creative and unique, even though the latter may difficult to achieve. At least you can put the various elements together in a way that makes it unique and stand out from the competition. A good logo is not created in 5 minutes simply by doodling on a piece of paper. You need to think what your company is about and try to incorporate elements of it into the logo. Apple has done this admirably with the missing ‘byte’ from its apple symbol.

You may be able to move in with relatives or lease a caravan you can move onsite for cheaper rent. But such options may only be for the brave!

In order to do this, the fatty deposits that are causing the problem must be removed.

  1. A bathroom that is tidy and organised will always look better than one than is not. Therefore, additional storage can have the effect of brightening up the bathroom. Closed cupboards are better than open shelving because you can shut the door on the mess – and they don’t get covered in dust. However, make sure that they are easily accessible or they won’t be used as much. You can fit lots more in if you put all those smaller items into a container in the cupboard. Storage in the shower recess may also be possible and will ensure that your grooming products are right to hand.

Undertaking expensive website design, redesigns, redevelopments and upgrades can all be for nothing if the final product results in a site that is not logical, easy or targeted perfectly to the intended user. Once you understand the way users interact with your website, you are in a much better position to gain their attention for longer and to ultimately convert them into customers (or whatever the overall goal may be).

How To Undertake User Experience Testing

Paying a professional usability testing company to undertake testing for you is not within the budget of every webmaster or small business owner. While this methods provides arguably the best results, alternatives are now available that allow advanced user experience testing for a fraction of the expense of a professional consultation.

Raising Healthy Children

Complexity in Health and Medicine

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationMay 6, 2013

Getting vindicated for announcing bad news years before anyone recognizes them is a bittersweet validation.

I spent almost 8 years, from 1990 til 1997, writing a book that never got published. It ended up being 700 pages long, after three major re-writes, with hundreds of references, and a clear but unpalatable message. The working title, which went through many changes, was “Raising Healthy Children.” The original title was actually “The Fourth Generation”.

What was the message? Essentially, it was “be careful with the drugs of pharmacological medicine – they could make your children really sick. And they’ll make their children sick and their children’s children too, until the fourth generation.” With much research in the biomedical literature, I had uncovered numerous issues that at the time very few people addressed. Among them were the following:

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationMarch 23, 2013

Thinking About a Security Fence To Protect Your Property?

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationFebruary 10, 2013

Secure Protection

Security fencing is erected to either protect items on your property from being stolen, or vandalised, or to protect people from hurting themselves in an accident on your property when nobody is there. Security fences have become a fact of life for most businesses, particularly if they keep anything outside the buildings in the yards, such as heavy equipment. Even churches are having their grounds surrounded by security fencing to keep vandals out. Thieves like to steal air conditioners and copper wire. It seems nothing is sacred anymore.

The Location

If you are contemplating a security fence, you need to work out where it’s going to be erected. If the ground is rocky, or uneven, it might pose some problems come installation. If you don’t mind a bit of labour, you can even out the ground where the fence will be placed, otherwise the contractors will charge you a lot more for that anyway.

Fencing Material

You have to decide what type of fence you want – made of steel, aluminium, steel mesh or chain link, which we call cyclone fencing. Chain link can be cut with bolt cutters, but you can’t cut steel and aluminium so easily. Well, not at all with bolt cutters. Cost comes into play when you are deciding on the materials for your security fence. Weigh up the cost with the level of protection you require.

Complementary/Alternative Medicine: The People’s Choice

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationAugust 22, 2012

I used to think of it as “the underground health economy.” For those of us who have been involved in complementary/ alternative medicine (CAM) for ten or more years, there was little surprise in David Eisenberg’s findings, published in the January 1993 New England Journal of Medicine, that a sizable portion of the public was using these therapies. The surprise was in just how large a portion this was – one in three, or 33% of the population — and the amount of money this group spent out-of-pocket: more than 10 billion dollars, exceeding what was spent on all hospital visits throughout the country.

Eisenberg’s paper unleashed a torrent of reaction. This was one large market! The alternative side beamed and glowed – and grew. Mainstream health professionals and physicians who had long been in the alternative closet came out in droves, now that there seemed to be a demand. “Alternative Medicine” conferences were organized, and journals were born, such as Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, spearheaded by Larry Dossey, a physician who had been paying attention to these issues and writing books on them since at least the early ‘80s.

How Your Restaurant’s Online Reviews Will Bring More Customers

BusinessBy Espresso EducationApril 25, 2012

When looking for a new place to dine-out, people often turn to sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor to look for reviews on different restaurants.

This means that online reviews are an essential part of business for restaurant owners. A bad review about your restaurant may make you lose potential customers. Therefore, if you run a restaurant, you need to ensure that you have a rock-solid online presence.

This is a digital age and there’s a shortcut to everything online. Therefore, when it comes to eating out at a new restaurant, customers highly rely on online reviews. The restaurant with the most impressive reviews will be the one that will be picked out by everyone.

Therefore, if you want your restaurant to be the first choice, make sure that people are posting nice reviews about you. Positive comments on a well written food menu, nice staff members, pricing, location and the atmosphere are some of the common topics written about in reviews.

How to Choose an Automatic Pool Cleaner

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationJanuary 15, 2012

Having your very own swimming pool installed is very exciting. You and your family just can’t wait to dive into that cool, clean water on a hot summer day. No need to go to the beach or a public pool.  The kids will still be able to take a dip even though even when you wouldn’t have time to take them for a swim.  But after the excitement dies down, reality hits. You have to clean that pool to ensure the water is safe to swim in. Automatic pool cleaning products such as Kreepy Krauly immediately spring to mind.

Cleaning is about much more than just getting the pH right and adding a few chemicals. It is an ongoing and onerous task that has to be done both summer and winter, because leaves, dust and other debris to fall or blow into the pool where they start to decay, changing the pH of the water and allowing nasty bacteria to breed.

Cleaning a pool manually requires a great deal of time and elbow grease, a bit like vacuuming a houseful of carpet only it’s worse because of the wet environment. If the thought of all this fills you with despair, it’s time to invest in an automatic pool cleaner.

There are many kinds of automatic cleaners, so you’ll have to research them and choose based on your pool type and budget.  Just make sure you don’t simply jump for the most affordable one. The prices should be considered, but your needs and the time and energy you have available for this job are also important.

9 Essential Components of Graphic Design

BusinessBy Espresso EducationDecember 2, 2011

Many amateurs throw up a website any old how and wonder why they don’t get any visitors or any conversions from the few visitors they do get. While such a website may be fine for personal use, a business website or blog needs to have a more professional look and feel.

This happens via graphic design. It has been explained this way: Design in not just to do with looks, it has to do with how it all works. So what are the essential components of graphic web design?

  • Some people concentrate of the first page to the exclusion of other pages. In fact, each page of your website needs to have a clear purpose that caters to the needs of your visitors. It should inform, entertain or amuse and give a clear call to action, offering at least one way to allow your visitor to interact with you.
  • Good communication. This does not mean being wordy. The best communication is short and to the point. If it must be long, it should be broken up with white space, bullet points, attention grabbing subheadings, images and even video.

How to Get Through Separation and Divorce

LegalBy Espresso EducationJune 27, 2011

The break-up of a relationship is never easy to get through, but it is sometimes necessary, to get your life back together the way you planned for it to be. A family law firm can help you when you are at your wit’s end, not knowing what to do for the best. While there is much information online, a solicitor can give you advice that is specific to your unique circumstances and they can also support you.

It makes a big difference to be able to talk a problem through with a professional who knows all the legal ins and outs of the matter. They can explain all the ramifications of a certain decision, something that people may not understand fully because they are too close to their problems, as well as being emotionally upset about everything.

It is usually better to try and settle things out of court. For a start it is a speedier process and it is also a great deal cheaper. Having a solicitor on your side will facilitate matters and help you understand how you can proceed to get that separation and divorce underway with the least amount of strain and stress.

A Bug In The Dark

A Bug In The Dark

Health & BeautyBy Espresso EducationMay 2, 2011

Our language is so curious. “I have a bug,” we says, and the mental images can be varied: we hold a small cage with a little bug in it; we cradle a bug in her hands; a bug sits in our throat. The latter is probably the closest to what we mean: an invisible organism (bacteria or virus) has taken hold of us, attacked our integrity, and caused us to have certain symptoms such as a cough or a stomachache. The image is compelling, but is this really how we get sick?

Our notions of sickness are peculiar to our time and culture. Immersed as we are in this culture, these notions have the aura of absolute truth. We KNOW that bacteria exist: smart people see them under the microscope, and are able to influence them in one way or another. We KNOW that certain bacteria or viruses are associated with the appearance of certain symptoms: smart people tell us so. They also tell us that the fact that the “bugs” appear together with the symptoms means that the bugs caused the symptoms.

Tips on Excavating for Renovations

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationMarch 15, 2010

Once you have decided to renovate your home it is wise to take a second look at the job to ascertain just what is needed. Many home renovation jobs are quick and simple fixes with all the work done internally. Others that may seem simple can sometimes prove to be more complicated – and costly – depending on whether you need to do foundations or structural work.

One thing about adding a deck or another room is that foundations will be needed and this usually includes some kind of excavation. Few homes are built on dead level ground, which means that an excavator hire will be required and the excavation needed could be more comprehensive that first thought. In addition, people don’t use a pick and shovel to excavate these days. You will need to hire an excavator of some kind to do the job.

When the budget seems to get blown out and you can’t see where it’s all going to, it is usually those hidden things such as excavation, foundation work, plumbing and so on that it must be spent on. Here are some tips to help your budget if you are renovating with excavation.

4 Reasons to Choose a Colorbond Roof

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationApril 20, 2009

Once, all roofs were built with tile and corrugated iron was the only other choice, but it was seen as the cheap alternative. Even though it lasted well, was easy to transport and erect and offered a strong and durable roof, it was still mostly used for sheds or homes in the outback or rural areas. There was no colour choice in those days as metallic silver was the only available colour.

Then Colorbond roofing was invented, adding a whole other dimension to the building industry. Here are 4 reasons why so many people choose to build their homes with a Colorbond roof:

  • Its physical attributes. It is light yet durable and made for Australian conditions. These include bushfires. Colorbond is idea for roofs in bushfire prone areas as the smooth shape prevents windborne embers from sticking. It is easy to maintain and the colours remain bright and vibrant over many years. It is quick and easy to install, thus saving building costs. And it has thermal properties that mean it helps to keep the home cooler.
  • The great colour range allows your creativity to bloom. With colours that reflect the Australian landscape you can mix and match to your heart’s content, or choose just one colour overall so that it complements the other colours in your home. Many people love the look of a lighter roof colour enclosed by a darker colour for the guttering. This defines the shape of the roof like a frame does with the picture it surrounds, setting off the colours so that they are more vibrant. You can even choose a colour to reflect some aspect of the environment around your home.

How to Save Your Carpet from Tradies’ Boots

How to Save Your Carpet from Tradies’ Boots

DIY, House & GardenBy Espresso EducationMay 12, 2006

If you have carpet on your floor you will no doubt know that having carpet cleaning done on a regular basis will keep it looking bright and fresh all the time. But regular does not mean often. According to Brilliance Cleaning, Six to twelve months is usually enough, depending on whether you have pets and toddlers. Professional cleaning done more often than that simply causes unnecessary wear the tear to the carpet, plus it disrupts your life while you wait for it to dry.

So what happens when you have tradies coming through the house to renovate or repair it? You can’t expect them to take their boots off at the door; they have to wear them on the job for protection.  But if the route to their job leads across your carpet it is highly likely to get very dirty, especially if the weather is wet and they’ve had to tread on unpaved areas to get to your door.
