...November 2, 2009, was to correct a possible incursion of an incorrect or out-of-place front driver's side floor mat into the foot pedal well, which can cause pedal entrapment. The second recall, on January 21, 2010, was begun after some crashes were shown not to have been caused by floor mat incursion. In March 2010, at the time of the recall, Toyota was unsure of the cause behind a spate of cars that would speed up without the driver's help. Hybrid’s breaking systems: Prius owners have reported that brakes momentarily fail when driving in icy or slippery conditions, or over potholes. Normally the anti-lock braking system engages and disengages many times a second as the system reacts to the slipping tyres. But - as Toyota puts it - some drivers have complained of "inconsistent brake feel" during slow and steady braking on some surfaces when ABS is activated.The solution involves an upgrade of the software in the braking system, which should take less than an hour and will be carried out for free by official Toyota service centres. Toyota stresses that the cars are still safe to drive and the brakes will stop the car. US safety authorities, however, have said they have received reports of accidents, including a small number of reported injuries.There have been no reports of accidents in Europe. The Japanese auto giant recalled 2.17 million vehicles because of carpet and floor mat flaws that could jam gas pedals. Toyota has recalled more than 12 million vehicles...

...Early Childhood Education LEARNING CENTRES “HONEY BEES READING CENTRE” Introduction What are Learning Centres? The term Learning Centres refers to designated areas of the classroom where students congregate in small groups to accomplish given learning tasks. Typically, students can work independently in these centres, sometimes while the teacher works with a small reading group. Examples of learning centres may include: listening to audio cassettes, playing educational games on the computer, practicing handwriting, writing/editing written works, reading silently, playing imaginatively in the puppet centre, and playing math games with manipulatives. Student work in a given learning centre for a certain amount of time, then rotate to the next one when time is up. Teachers will need to spend a significant amount of time training students on how to behave during centre time, as well as modelling how to complete each of the learning centre activities. This will assure that learning centre time is productive, relatively quiet, and organized. AGE GROUP OF CENTRE AND THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN IN AGE GROUP Four and five year-olds are the age group for which the ‘Honey Bees Reading Centre’ is planned. Children in this age range display several characteristics which can be categorized as cognitive, physical, psychosocial and moral. Cognitively * Enjoy stories and can retell them * Are fascinated by words and silly sounds * Have large vocabulary...

...of my home. My home is a rental student apartment which is located on the 8th floor of Medical Plaza, the University of Utah. Although it is not my real home, I still want to call it “my home.” My apartment is small and crowded but comfortable. My apartment is a two-bedroom apartment, which means I have a roommate. My apartment has a very clean living room, a little kitchen and a small bathroom. First, as you walk into the apartment, the white wall and white ceiling make the apartment more bright and clean. Then you can see there is a large round wooden brown desk in the center of the room. There are five leather brown chairs around the desk. There is a very large French window which almost occupies the whole north wall. The brown floor mat also makes the room more comfortable and warm. When the night is coming, you can see the very good vista through the large window. I really like seating beside the desk and have a cup of coffee, and I enjoy the wonderful time. Although the living room is not big, it is comfortable and lovely. Secondly, I will introduce my little kitchen and bathroom. The little kitchen has a large white refrigerator that always has good food and a big oven and microwave oven. Over the oven, you can find there is a clean and whiter range hoods.

This article gives you the final tips that are a perfect fit for everyone doing their workouts at home. 1.

...ety precautions while sorting laundry: Wear gloves as per the industry standards. Wearing gloves while sorting linen will avoid accidental cuts from any broken glasses in restaurant linens. Remove unwanted items from soiled laundry as you sort it: Check uniform pockets for pens, pencils, bottle opener, coins, crock screws etc. and remove them. Remove employee name badge and any promotional buttons. Remove food scraps, cutleries, wine cork and broken glass and china ware pieces from linens before sending it for washing. Without checking, the uniforms are not supposed to give the soiled line to Laundry. Sorting of soiled linen according : 1) Remove stained linen: Stained linen has to be given separately to the laundry for hard treatment. Heavily stained/ soiled linen requires strong detergents.

...automated process. The SoMatic automatic dispenser will save customers both time and money. Built primarily of on the finest recycled materials, they are of high quality, built to be used with the highest standard washing machines on the market. They are new and the only ones on the market so the initial, basic units will be a specialty purchase for the customer and will require research. The success of many products on the market depends on how customers learn to use them and the experience that they gain then provides the basis to build brand awareness and loyalty (Lakshmanan, A., & Krishnan, H., 2011). Until the brand gets established in the market the devices, although costing under $100, may be viewed as an additional cost to the laundry products so the purchase will require involvement from the customers. The products are also designed to be used with only the top brands of appliances so will have to be built to last, be high quality and will have a somewhat limited distribution. The purchase of the refills and the option of having automatic shipments are more of a convenience because the customers will already be aware of the brand and function of the dispenser. The SoMatic is a multi-chambered liquid soap dispenser designed to easily attach to a washing machine, dishwasher or shower. The dispenser is designed to function much like the washing wands used at a commercial car wash that cycle from wash to rinse while automatically having the chemicals dispensed along with...

...noted as principal reasons for the recent decline. High initial launch costs, specifically around commercial washing machines and dryers have also been commented on as reasons for fewer new entrants into the market. Furthermore, machine updates can be prohibitively expensive which have held back premises investment. However, most UK households have bedding such as duvets and comforters which are far above the capacity of domestic machines, making launderettes the only source of cleaning them. Many UK manned operations have added value services such as ironing, dry cleaning and service washes which prove popular to busy professionals, students and senior citizens. Student accommodations blocks often have their own unmanned laundries, although commercially run at a profit by the accommodations provider. These facilities are often open to heavy wear and tear through being unsupervised. Local directories such as Yellow Pages and Thomson only show those that have chosen to pay for an entry so trends are difficult to...

...WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG? Joe Van West, President of Appliances Unlimited in Mexico, was thinking about his arrival in Mexico City and his life during the last six months as he was sitting in his office. He remembered getting the phone call late one evening while sitting in front of the TV in his house in Taipei, Taiwan, where he was Operations Manager of the local subsidiary of Appliances Unlimited, a Belgian firm. The phone call was to tell him that Mr. Brian Hodges, the President of the Mexican subsidiary of Appliances Unlimited, had a major heart attack and would retire immediately. Mr. Van West had met Mr. Hodges several times at meetings, but he did not know him very well. The caller, his friend at headquarters, Stijn Verckens, indicated that management at headquarters was looking for a speedy replacement for Hodges, and that Joe Van West should talk to the President of the International Division at Headquarters immediately. Van West had always wanted to run a subsidiary. It would be a great opportunity, and he did tell Verckens that he would think about it. Van West had gotten excellent reviews for his work as Operations Manager in Taipie. He was ready for the next step. He had hoped that there would be an opportunity in Canada or the United States, but he, an American citizen, and his wife, a native of Belgium, had decided a number of years ago that they would go wherever the opportunity presented itself. Van West talked to several people at headquarters, including...

...two things of me, to make exceptional grades and to attend college. My family also expected me to find as many scholarships as I could my senior year of high school to pay for college. I come from a poor background, so although they wanted me to go to college they knew I would not be able to afford it without student loans or scholarships. I did exactly what they wanted me to do. I got into college and to pay for all the expenses for school, I found numerous scholarships by my grades and researches. Upon entering college I soon discovered that although I did everything I possibly could to avoid paying for anything, I was still left with one more annoying and unnecessary fee, of paying for laundry. In order to solve this ghastly problem the school should either include free use of all laundry facilities or have a fee set into the tuition and fees bill so we do not have to deal with the hassle of change or putting money on our Warhawk express account. The cost of attendance here at the University of Louisiana at Monroe is $19,546, and that is if you are a resident of Louisiana staying on campus. For students who are out of state or international staying on campus the cost of attendance is $31,646. After paying that substantial amount of money to attend school for just one year, this school expects us to administer a tad bit more money just to wash and dry our clothes. In my residential dormitory, Commons I, there are three washing machines and three dryers on my floor. The...

...companies as Whirlpool and Maytag. It has faced many challenges through trial and error and the inventions such as the small motor, galvanized tubs, and the agitator. In the following paper is how the washing machine came to be, the challenges it faced, and how it was developed by several key people. Innovation according to Dictionary.com is defined as "something new or different introduced." One invention that we overlook in such a high-tech world that was created to make our lives simpler is the washing machine. When the washing machine was invented it was just that a new product being brought to market to simplify the lives of women everywhere. Before the automatic washers of today there was no running water, gas, or electricity and laundry took unimaginable amounts of time and labor compared to today. To wash the clothes once, boil once, and one rinse used about 50 gallons of water (400 lbs.) that had to be moved from pump, well, or faucet to the stove and tub in buckets and wash boilers that might weigh about forty to fifty pounds, (History of the washing, n.d.). All of the rubbing, wringing, and moving heavy water laden clothes and linen (heavy sheets included) tired the women out and continuously exposed them to harsh chemicals such as lye, (History of the washing, n.d.). Washing machine technology was a slow process due to the fact that electricity was not commonly available until about 1930 and so the early wash machines were usually operated by hand and gasoline...

...your home. Research has shown that cleaning such garments at home is easier and more affordable. Silk fabrics are usually affected by the agitation of a regular washer. Hot water has a damaging effect on silk too. With this in mind, it follows that using the minimum agitation, soap or detergent made specifically for ‘delicates' and cold water will ensure you can clean your silk nightwear yourself. The same process will keep your garments in the best condition for years. So how does one go about the cleaning process? Having some information on cleaning silk and things that damage it is the only way you can know what to avoid when cleaning silk pajamas. Garments made from silk contain natural oils that can be damaged by using regular laundry detergents. You should therefore consider using mild soaps such as detergents used to clean baby clothing. Cleaning products like chlorine bleach should never be used on silk. Starch should also be avoided. All you need to do is swish the garments around in the sink, drain the water after the swish and rinse using cold water. Gentle hand-washing is the best approach to cleaning silk pajamas and any other clothes you may have that are made from silk. When you are hand washing clothes, it is normal to twist or wring them out. This should be avoided when washing silk pajamas. Instead, you should place the garment on a clean towel, preferably one that is white in color....
