Faber Isoline is the perfect blind for modern Tilt & Turn windows
as it has been specially developed for recess fixing. In UPVC windows
it is possible to fit onto the glazing bead itself. To ensure perfect
integration with the window, the fascia is colour co-ordinated with the
colour of the window frame and is supplied in a range of five colours: white, silver, light brown, dark brown and anodised aluminium.

Faber Metalet 25 – a well tested solution
Faber Isoline is a newly developed venetian blind based on the popular
Faber Metalet 25 construction – a well tried and tested system which
will ensure that the Faber Isoline blind operates reliably and faultlessly.

Faber Isoline is available with two different control options. The mono control option uses the patented CTS (Cord Take-up System), a conic system with lifting cords instead of
tape – for efficiency and ease of operation. The dual control option is
supplied with lifting cord and adjustment rod. Both operation options
include the Faber quick tilt mechanism for fast and convenient
operation.

Everyone is familiar with the damage weather can do to consumer electronics, in the form of rain and damaging weather conditions such as tornadoes and hurricanes. However, many people are not aware of the damage potential of other weather effects, such as cold, heat, humidity, wind, lightning and solar radiation.

Cold
Electronics do not operate as well under very cold conditions. When electronics are run in very cold environments, device shut-downs, malfunctions and component damage can occur.

Heat
Consumer electronics generate heat simply by operating, and most are designed with fans or other cooling systems in order to keep the heat levels down. However, when the device is exposed to other heat sources, such as high temperatures or direct sunlight, the temperature levels can exceed the device’s limits, leading to shut-down, malfunctions or component damage. Batteries are particularly susceptible to heat damage. For example, if a cell phone is left in a vehicle, the heat buildup in the vehicle during hot months is enough to significantly shorten the battery’s life. Extreme heat can also melt and warp plastic enclosures and cases.

What is Pandemic Flu?
A flu pandemic occurs when a new virus emerges to which people have little or no immunity and there is no effective vaccine. The virus spreads easily from person to person, causes serious illness, and can sweep across the country in a very short time.

How to Provide In-home Care for Pandemic Flu
Almost everyone will care for an individual during a pandemic. Take steps to protect yourself and others from becoming infected. During a pandemic, your local newspaper, radio and TV stations will provide up-to-date information from your local health district and Public Health Authority.

Prevent Spread of Infection
Isolate

• Sick person should be alone in a separate room, if possible
• Same person should tend to the sick person each day

Wear Masks

• While tending to the sick person
• During disinfecting

Change linens frequently

• Change bedding and clothes daily
• Wash in detergent and hot water
• Wash hands after handling laundry

Disinfect surfaces

• Clean surfaces commonly touched: doorknobs, light switches, faucets, and handles

Wash Hands

• Caregiver should wash hands frequently
• Avoid touching his or her face

Separate Items

• Handle and store sick person’s items separately (toothbrush, clothes, towels, linen, food)

Influenza (commonly called the “flu”) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. The information below describes common flu symptoms, how to protect yourself and those close to you from getting the flu, and what to do if you get sick with flu-like symptoms.

People May Have Different Reactions to the Flu
The flu can cause mild to severe illness and at times can lead to death. Although most healthy people recover from the flu without complications, some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious complications from the flu.

Be Aware of Common Flu Symptoms
Influenza usually starts suddenly and may include the following symptoms:
Fever (usually high)
Runny or stuffy nose
Headache
Body aches
Tiredness (can be extreme)
Diarrhea and vomiting (more common among children than adults)
Cough
Sore throat
Having these symptoms does not always mean that you have the flu. Many different illnesses, including the common cold, can have similar symptoms.

When you are choosing private treatment it pays to shop around and to ask the right questions.
Unlike National Health Service (NHS) care, where there are set prices for particular treatments, the fees for private treatment vary.

Do I want NHS or private treatment?
Most private dentistry is carried out by dental practices that also provide NHS treatment.

Dentists are obliged to offer their NHS-registered patients treatment to meet all their clinical needs under the NHS. Private dentistry offers some treatment not available on the NHS, such as cosmetic dentistry, and a wider choice of materials.

You may find that you are no longer registered for NHS treatment if:

• you have not seen a dentist under the NHS in the last 15 months
• your dentist has de-registered you for some other reason (for example, to become a private-only practice).

If you want NHS treatment but are having problems finding a dentist, help is available. Contact one of the bodies listed on page 9 under ‘Finding NHS treatment.’
