The Desna drinking water filter guarantees clean drinking water from your faucet, provided that a new cartridge is inserted into the filter once every six months. The procedure is easy and safe to perform if the following points are observed.

- Before you replace your old cartridge, make sure that the water is off. Turn the main faucet tightly until it has stopped dripping.
- Remember that your spare cartridge is enclosed in the package that came with the filter. New cartridges may be purchased anywhere Desna products are sold.

Scalding hazard: Before you open the old filter for replacement, you may need to allow the water inside it to cool. Do not drain the filter or remove the cartridge before you are sure it has cooled down.

The Mumbai International Film Festival, held yesterday in Mumbai, India, gave top honors to Malaysian director Niu Tan's feature-length film entitled "From the Foothills". The Chinese-language film tells the story of a young man who leaves his rural hometown for the city. The mountains surrounding his hometown are used as a visual metaphor for the difficult, "uphill" emotional journey he undergoes throughout the film.

Director Niu Tan, who was there to accept the Best Feature Film Award, says she is "grateful my work is being honored in this way. " She added that she hopes her film will draw "long-overdue, international attention to all the masterful filmmaking taking place in Malaysia and its neighboring countries. "

Hello Mr. Manilo,

Thank you for your e-mail. Of course I would be happy to write a comment about the job your company completed at my house. I will also post the comment in the "What Customers Are Saying" section of your company's Web site, if that is OK with you.

Here is my comment: "We are so happy we chose Manilo Masonry to install a flagstone patio, a walkway, and an outdoor fireplace at our home. The quality of the craftsmanship is top-notch, and the job was completed three days earlier than the estimated finish date. Mr. Manilo himself was present for every aspect of the project, from the planning stages to final inspection. I intend to use Manilo Masonry again in the future to repave our driveway. "

Thanks again for doing such a great job.

Discover Hidden Meledonia _____ 187

Souvenir shops in Krolleen's Old Town are plentiful, and they are not hard to locate. Unfortunately, they are also often overpriced. Tourists are better off purchasing traditional Meledonian handcrafts from individual street vendors, who sell their goods from stalls that line the side streets of the town center. One can find items like hand-knitted sweaters with traditional Meledonian folk motifs, felted wood hats and coasters, carved wooden mugs, dark Meledonian chocolate, and hand-painted marzipan sweets. The quality of the goods is comparable to that of the goods found in the souvenir shops, and the vendors are willing to negotiate their prices.

There is one shop, however, that is definitely worth a visit. The Halinga Boutique is located in Old Town Krolleen on the north side of the castle wall at 18 Videvika. This is the largest souvenir shop in the area, and it offers a broad selection of traditional items. The Halinga Boutique is a good option for the tourist who does not have time to browse the street stalls and prefers the convenience of one-stop shopping.

Maintaining the quality and integrity of photographs is important because photographs are our visual record of the past. By following a few important guidelines, you can ensure that your photographs last a lifetime.

If photographs are to be displayed, make sure they are placed in frames that have ultraviolet-resistant glass. Exposure to the Sun's ultraviolet rays can cause colors to fade and can cause black-and-white photographs to turn yellow. In addition, they should be placed in frames that allow space between the glass and the top surface of the photograph. The surface of the photograph can deteriorate if it is in constant contact with glass.

When storing photographs in albums, make sure the albums contain acid-free paper. Colored paper or magnetic pages should never be used. To store photographs in boxes, use boxes made of metal or acid-free cardboard. Store albums and boxes in a dry environment, as humidity can quickly destroy photographs.

Finally, be careful when handling photographs, especially historic ones. If you must touch a photograph, your hands should be clean. Skin naturally produces oil, which can be harmful to photographs. You should pick up photographs only by the edges and should wear clean cotton gloves.

This month, we take a look at Purity Air's Z320 100-centimeter Industrial Floor Fan. Our product reviewers found that the Z320 does a good job of eliminating stale air in machine shops, garages, factories, and construction areas. The unit is substantial, and at 28 kilograms, it is certainly not easy to lift. However, its steel frame does make it solid and durable for industrial use. The motor is completely enclosed, which allows the fan to run more quietly than many comparable products.

Our reviewers did, however, notice some things that could be improved. While the Z320's HP motor and tapered aluminum blades allow for strong airflow, its three-speed setting is problematic. The three speeds are too similar; all of them make the unit seem like it is running on a high speed. Secondly, it comes with wall-mounting brackets, but our reviewers felt that a larger bracket with stronger anchors was needed to mount a unit of such weight properly and safely. Finally, the one-year warranty covers only a select number of replacement parts, whereas similar fans manufactured by other companies include a more comprehensive warranty. This is an important issue that may well cost Purity Air some sales.

Bissell Elevators, the world's third-largest producer of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, has announced that Roland Manufacturing will be its exclusive supplier of pan brackets, sensor brackets, and guide rails, all of which are used in Bissell's newest and best-selling hydraulic freight elevator, the Bissell Lift 250.

Rolant Manufacturing was awarded the contract after a competitive bidding process that lasted four months and included two other key bidders, Ross Metallurgics and SRT Tools. Bissell spokesperson Mathias Klampfer says, "Going with Rolant Manufacturing was the best decision for us. Everything Rolant does, from its premanufacturing stages to its product shipping, is in line with our own manufacturing and business philosophies.

Rolant Manufacturing recently acquired Switzerland's Seifert Metals as part of an effort to increase production and secure additional manufacturing space. The president of Rolant Manufacturing noted that the acquisition was especially important in light of the new contract. The company will also look to hire several able welders to help with the metalwork for Bissell Elevators.
