The following is a Letter to the Editor appearing in the November 14, 2013 issue of the Daily Breeze submitted by Nelle Overstreet, a Manhattan Beach resident in response to the DB October 31 article, “City facilities, parking structures need millions in repairs.”

Since we do live by the ocean, it is expected that Manhattan Beach structures will deteriorate over a shorter time than those inland.  Those conditions should have been taken into consideration before they reached their current state of disrepair.

The consultants reported 23 out of 43 facilities were in very poor, poor or fair condition.  The penultimate was to read that our 8-year-old police/fire department building was in need of $1.8 million in repairs over the next 10 years due to:  “The building was not built up to code; it was not inspected properly…”  This should be unacceptable to the citizens of Manhattan Beach who depend upon our City Hall denizens to see to our city’s interests.  Who OK’d this mess?  Who allowed it to be approved along the way?  The blame should not just be put on the contractor, but also on those in City Hall responsible for this fiasco.  Someone needs to step up to the plate and accept responsibility.  Citizens are owed an explanation from past and present City Councils.

Nelle Overstreet, Manhattan Beach

"How to Help Employees Unleash Their Producitivity"

As an entrepreneur, you work hard. Very hard. But make no mistake about it--you can't be the only one. To succeed in the long run, you need the active and engaged participation of your employees. This means unleashing the energy that is within each one of them. Here's how.

Catch Them Doing Something Right

Outstanding organizations share success with their employees. Management highlights constructive processes, strategies and employee ideas, then publicizes how they benefit the organization. When your employees are doing something right, let people know about it. Encourage outstanding, sustained performance by showing them how much their efforts are appreciated.

Set the Bar High

Set high standards for communication, productivity and professionalism throughout your organization. If at times these standards are not met, work closely with your employees to find ways to get back on track. Don't lower your standards. Instead, partner with your employees and take on challenges as a team. Enlist your their input to identify blocking issues, focus attention on possible solutions and strive to meet and exceed expectations.

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate

Communicate professionally, clearly and often. Employees expect management's honest assessment of their performance. When things are running smoothly, highlight what is working and communicate success throughout the organization. When problems challenge progress, consider the potential impact you can have by constructively discussing your concerns. Use communication as a tool to inspire and motivate, as well as to direct and resolve problems.

Trust Your Employees

The best managers understand that organizational success is directly tied to the success of their employees, and they work to build bridges of trust. Establish trust by creating a safe, positive working environment with open and honest two-way communication. Give your people the benefit of the doubt, then help them up if they sometimes stumble.

Help Employees Grow

Set your employees up for success, not failure. Provide them with the tools and training to meet and exceed high standards. Encourage them to identify their strengths and motivations. Show them how your organization has benefitted from their efforts, and how this in turn benefits them. Determine what drives your people, then incorporate that into their daily tasks.

Create and Maintain a Productive Environment

Create and maintain a positive, industrious and pleasant working environment. Productive, motivated people drive outstanding organizations. Ensure employees feel challenged with their jobs, but not overwhelmed. Delegate tasks and encourage people into positions of greater complexity and responsibility whenever possible so employees are always in motion and have a stake in the organization's success.

Build a Community

Make sure your employees feel like they are a part of something special and that their efforts are truly appreciated. Partner with them by involving them directly in the success of the organization. Create and cultivate a sense of camaraderie, where people look forward to coming to work because they want to be a part of your company's success story.

By unleashing the energy of your employees and getting out of the way, you can create a high-energy workforce. Once this energy is fully unleashed, your business will grow by leaps and bounds.

Ace Infectious provides H. pylori adhesin research services to help study the structure, adhesion sites, immune response, and potential role of H. pylori adhesins.

Currently, H. pylori adhesins are known to adhere to small molecules (e.g., sugars) and larger ligands (e.g., proteins) of host cells. Some of these adhesins are more clearly studied. CagL interacts with the α5β1, αVβ3, αVβ5, and αVβ6 of host cells. HopQ interacts with CEACAM -1, -3, -5, and -6 of host cells. BabA, HopD, and SabA interact with mucins of host cells by blood group antigens (Leb, A- Leb, and B-Leb), sialyated Lex, and asialyated Lex. In addition, SabA also interacts with sialyated Lex and asialyated Lex of laminin. AlpA and AlpB also bind to laminin. However, the specific adhesion profiles of HorB, HomA/B/C/D, OipA, and HopZ need to be further explored. Learn more：H. pylori adhesion regulation

Manhattan Beach woman, children held captive in home by burglar

A woman awoke in her Manhattan Beach home Thursday night to find a burglar in her bedroom, where she was sleeping with her two children, according to police.

The victim told police that a man wearing a ski mask entered her home in the 400 block of Altura Way through a rear sliding glass door. He entered the bedroom and asked her the whereabouts of her husband, money, jewelry and cell phone. He then told her to stay in the bedroom while he searched the house for valuables. She called the Manhattan Beach Police Department when she heard him exit through the front door.

No weapons were used, and no one was injured, according to police. Officers were unable to locate the suspect, who is described as 6-foot-2 with a thin build. At the time he was wearing a ski mask and knit gloves.

Anyone with information including suspicious persons or vehicles seen in the area Thursday evening should contact MBPD Det. Shawn Thompson at 310-802-5124 or Det. Sgt. Paul Ford at 310-802-5124.

Re: “Meetings to focus on residents’ priorities,” (Daily Breeze, December 11, 2013)

Manhattan Beach residents should note and applaud Hermosa Beach’s continued “Community Dialogue,” a “public engagement” process whereby elected officials are encouraging Hermosans to influence critical decisions on priorities and revenue generation. Through outreach, consultation, and creative consensus building dynamics, Hermosa Beach is promoting empowerment of residents and consultative democracy.

In contrast, Manhattan Beach has eschewed public engagement. Its elected officials rely on formalized “public participation” characterized by one-way communication patronizing residents into impotency rather than public deliberation and sustained problem solving. Cities and counties throughout California are recognizing the benefits of public engagement.

For Hermosans, the process is benefiting the building of their unique community identity rather than wanting “to be like Manhattan Beach” or “become Rodeo Drive at the beach.”

Driving in Abu Dhabi requires a solid understanding of car insurance policies, as they offer critical financial protection in the event of accidents and are mandated by law. However, the variety of policies and coverage options can make it difficult to choose the right one. This guide will break down the key aspects of car insurance and provide tips to help you select the policy that best suits your needs.

Why Car Insurance is Mandatory in Abu Dhabi

The UAE has strict laws requiring all drivers to have car insurance, and Abu Dhabi is no exception. Whether you're driving a compact car or a luxury vehicle, a car insurance policy ensures you’re financially protected in case of an accident, theft, or damage. Additionally, having valid car insurance in Abu Dhabi is a legal obligation that helps reduce the financial burden on drivers in the event of a mishap.

A car insurance policy also protects third parties. If you’re involved in an accident that causes injury or damage to someone else’s property, third-party liability insurance, a basic form of car insurance, will cover these costs. Not having the right coverage can result in hefty fines, vehicle impoundment, or even legal action.

Types of Car Insurance in Abu Dhabi

When choosing car insurance in Abu Dhabi, you’ll encounter two primary types of coverage: third-party liability insurance and comprehensive insurance. Third-party liability is the minimum requirement and covers damages to other people or their property in the event of an accident. However, it does not cover any damages to your vehicle. This makes it a basic and often more affordable car insurance policy, ideal for those who drive older cars or want minimal coverage.

Comprehensive car insurance, on the other hand, offers broader protection. In addition to covering third-party damages, it also covers damages to your own vehicle, whether caused by an accident, natural disasters, theft, or vandalism. For drivers who own new or expensive cars, opting for comprehensive car insurance in Abu Dhabi ensures that your vehicle is protected against a wide range of risks.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Car Insurance Policy

Selecting the right car insurance policy requires careful consideration of several factors. First, assess your driving habits and the level of coverage you need. If you frequently drive in high-traffic areas, comprehensive car insurance may offer the peace of mind you need, as it covers a broader spectrum of risks.

Another crucial aspect is the cost of your car insurance policy. Premiums vary based on the type of coverage, the age and model of your car, and your driving record. To get the best deal, take the time to compare different car insurance in Abu Dhabi providers and request quotes from multiple companies. Many online platforms make this process easier by allowing you to compare policies side by side, ensuring you get the most value for your money.

Additionally, consider the reputation of the car insurance provider. A provider’s claim settlement process, customer service, and the additional benefits they offer—such as roadside assistance—are all essential factors to evaluate before finalizing your car insurance policy.

How to Save Money on Car Insurance in Abu Dhabi

While car insurance in Abu Dhabi can be expensive, there are ways to reduce your premium without compromising on coverage. One of the most effective strategies is to maintain a clean driving record. Insurance companies often offer lower premiums to drivers with a history of safe driving. Furthermore, consider increasing your deductible. A higher deductible can lower your premium, though it means you’ll pay more out of pocket in the event of a claim.

Shopping around for the best car insurance policy is another great way to save. Many providers offer discounts if you purchase a policy online or bundle your car insurance with other types of insurance, such as home or health insurance. Regularly reviewing your policy and comparing it with new options ensures that you continue to get the best deal on your car insurance in Abu Dhabi. Lastly, some insurers offer incentives for installing anti-theft devices or other safety features in your car. By taking advantage of these discounts, you can lower your car insurance policy costs while ensuring your vehicle is well protected.

Renewing Your Car Insurance Policy

Renewing your car insurance policy is just as important as choosing the right one. In Abu Dhabi, driving without valid insurance can lead to severe penalties, including fines and suspension of your vehicle registration. Before your policy expires, review your coverage to ensure it still meets your needs. If your circumstances have changed—such as purchasing a new car or moving to a different area—you may need to adjust your coverage. When renewing your car insurance in Abu Dhabi, take the opportunity to compare new policies and see if better deals are available. You may find a more affordable or comprehensive car insurance policy that better suits your current needs.

Final Thoughts

Understanding the basics of a car insurance policy in Abu Dhabi is essential for every driver. Whether you’re looking for the minimal coverage required by law or a more comprehensive car insurance package, knowing your options and comparing policies can help you make an informed decision. By evaluating your coverage needs, considering your budget, and shopping around for the best deals, you can find the perfect car insurance policy that offers peace of mind while driving in Abu Dhabi.

Pharmacokinetics is currently defined as the study of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Primary goals of pharmacokinetics include enhancing efficacy and decreasing toxicity of drug therapy. These parameters have enabled clinicians to apply pharmacokinetic principles to actual patient situations. Pharmacodynamics refers to the relationship between drug concentration at the site of action and the resulting effect, including the time course and intensity of therapeutic and adverse effects. Pharmacodynamics places a particular emphasis on dose–response relationships, it provides an important parameter for the clinical application of drugs.
