Floor Mats for Your Business: Rent or Purchase? t chooses, or better yet, club members can contribute to help pay for the costs and in doing so they are fulfilling their duty to help support the league financially. Every dollar raised for the league is a revolutionary act.There are two ways to obtain floor mats for your place of business. You can rent them from a janitorial supply and service business or you can purchase them outright. Ostensibly, the most cost-efficient method is to purchase your mats. However, there can be extenuating circumstances that lead you to consider renting your mats.If you rent your mats, a good service will provide a clean fresh mat upon pickup of the old. This may be once or twice a week. The rental will seem inexpensive-typically a few dollars per mat per week. If your business contracts all its janitorial services, this could be the most efficient means of providing clean floor mats for all your entrances and aisle ways.However, if you own a business such as a restaurant, hotel or office building where you hire your own staff to perform janitorial services, you should consider the purchase of your floor mats. Realize that any time you ‘rent’ a product, even a floor mat, you must pay a sufficient pric 2. Using the poster A) Volunteers: You can’t use a poster if nobody is there to put them up. You have to mobilize volunteers to help you complete this task. There are many ways you can do this. One way is to have copies ready prior to a club meeting and send everyone home with some posters and an assignment to put them up. Another way is to plan a postering day where the members pair up and are assigned to different areas w The Crafts in Wood! One great way to raise the profile of your club and promote your events is postering. There are two main steps to carrying this task out.Where plastics and synthetics have gained prominence in the forms of craft, wooden craft finds a not so unimportant place. Lifestyles full of antiques are not uncommon. A classic augmentation of the aesthetics! Creative intellect put together with skill find intelligent applications for various purposes.Common or uncommon carving techniques on this medium make for a feel that has been known throughout ages. Beauty maybe uncommon and that continues to be the character of beauty when the labor of the craftsperson makes a presence felt. Alluring if intricate the outcome.Carved and chiseled spoons, ladles, coasters, sculptures, jewelry boxes and desktop accessories of timber or any other, the effect effective. Cedar belongs to the pine family. The cypress and mahogany belong to the same family. Fragrant and oily textured cedars have long since adorned the Himalayan and Mediterranean landscape.Willows have been wielded in cricket only recently. Since the formati 1. Preparing the poster A) Creating: Make sure the poster is not too small for people to easily see and read the basic info as they pass by. 8.5 x 11” (normal printer paper size) is a good smallest size as a guideline. If you are just photocopying the poster at any copy store you will just want to make it on plain white paper since that is what it will be copied on anyhow. These days, posters are usually made electronically on computers using pre-made graphics, images and fonts or one’s created by the maker of the poster using a computer. This doesn’t necessarily mean you must abandon old school techniques like drawing your poster by hand if you have someone particularly artistic in your club. Just make sure it is dark enough to photocopy properly. Make sure that the poster is not too cluttered and that the basic info about what, when, where and why is easy to find and clear. You will want a title or slogan of the event in large print to catch people’s attention as well as an image or images related to the topic. Don’t forget to include contact info for the club and the YCL website address. If your poster is general YCL agit-prop to attract attention and possible members rather than to announce an event, make sure that your poster gives reasons why someone should join the YCL rather than just stating that it is a good idea. Target issues that people in your area are concerned about and be sure to accurately reflect the position of the YCL on that issue as decided by the membership as a whole. Never attach the YCL's name or logo to anything that has not been approved first by the proper body of the YCL. When using images make sure that they are not attached to another organization in order to avoid confusion and mis-representation. B) Copying: For small print runs it may be easiest simply to go run off a number of copies at any print shop in the area. Try to use unionized print shops where possible. Alternatively you can be sneaky and try to use printing facilities at workplaces or campuses. How you or whoever is assigned the task, gets it done is your business so long as it doesn’t contravene any of the rules or policies of the league. If you are doing a huge print run it may be worth while to see if you can get the printing sponsored by a union or other organization which has access to printing facilities. If you can get the posters copied for free that is obviously best. If not your club can spend some of the money it fundraises if it chooses, or better yet, club members can contribute to help pay for the costs and in doing so they are fulfilling their duty to help support the league financially.

Even for those who do know something about Pakistan, courtesy of CNN (and sometimes the BBC) have seen pictures of violence – people burning effigies of President George Bush, rioting, army personnel swarming over so-called terrorist camps and, of course, not to forget, a whole lot of bloodshed. No wonder it is usually confused with other places like Iraq and Afghanistan, which are actually going through very bad times.But trust me, Pakistan is different. I know this sounds clich?d – AND you’ve probably heard it all a million times before – but the media portrays a lot of the Eastern world in a very negative light, and that is why we have had to suffer both socially and economically. But, as usual there IS the other side of the coin to look at too. With all due respect, I think we all are a little too self-indulged and over-influenced with ONE perspective (usually the media B) Copying: For small print runs it may be easiest simply to go run off a number of copies at any print shop in the area.

Every dollar raised for the league is a revolutionary act.Logistics, asset management and inventory control are so important to any business. Whether you operate a point of sale business, a shipping center, or any business that ships or receives supplies or products, it is difficult to manually keep track of what is coming and going. Bar codes and automation save time, money and lost assets. This method, once fully implemented, can save thousands or even millions of dollars over a short period of time.You may think it will cost a bundle of money to implement a barcode system to control and track assets. This is not true. A barcode label printer is quite affordable, durable and long lasting. Most businesses only require a few of these devices to effectively manage assets. The very small investment pays for itself almost immediately.The label printer produces printouts that are durable and will not smear or smudge so they can easily be read by a barcode reader.

Another way is to plan a postering day where the members pair up and are assigned to different areas where they can go in their teams and put up their posters. It is best if people work in pairs for many reasons; it makes postering easier in general as you will read further on in this chapter, it gives the posterers some company which makes it a less boring task, and it means there is a witness incase there is any run in with authorities or any other trouble making reactionaries. The main point though is that you must mobilize volunteers, you can’t do it all yourself because you won’t be able to cover everything and everyone else just won’t be doing anything in the meantime. B) Affixing the posters- How?: There are many ways to put up posters and the various ways work more or less depending on the conditions you are working in. The best way stick up posters is using home made postering glue. To make this you will need a can of condensed milk for every fifty posters or so, water, a spray bottle and a squeegee. The bottle can be any normal spray bottle which can be purchased at many dollar stores, grocery stores, garden centers and hardware stores. It could also be an empty, rinsed out spray bottle from a household cleaning product. The water can be any clean water such as tap water the only specification is it can’t have dirt, sand or anything else that could plug the spray bottle in it. The squeegee can be purchased at most of the same kinds of stores you can purchase the spray bottle at, or nicked from a service station (at your own risk). Pour the milk into your spray bottle and ad some water to increase volume. You won’t want to put too much water in or it won’t work. The mixture should be about 10-1. If the surfaces you will be applying to are damp or it is cold outside you will want to ad very little or no water. Give it a shake to mix it together and you are ready to go. Spray the milk-water on any surface that is relatively clean and flat then apply the poster, spray again on top of the poster and use the squeegee to flatten the poster on securely. When the milk dries the poster will be stuck. It should be noted that this method does not work particularly well in extreme cold or heavy rain. In normal conditions though it works excellently as a cheap, effective and environmentally friendly method of affixing posters. Other methods of affixing posters include using tape, wheat paste or staples. Tape is effective but more expensive. It is also easier for people to remove your posters if they are affixed with tape. Tape does not work in extreme cold and can be tricky in heavy rain and wind. Wheat paste works just about any place any time and any where. For wheat paste you will
