Here's *EXACTLY* How To Be A Master Mentor In Amway
http://www.onlinemlmsecrets.com/ Most Amway distributors are really being fed the same corporate and network marketing rhetoric that has gone on for the last 60 years. And while that's effective for a small percentage of Amway distributors, it's certainly not effective for the entire Amway company. What most Amway reps haven't figured out is that learning MARKETING is the secret to success in Amway and ANY other business. When you learn the real and genuine principles of being an entrepreneur, and an effective business man or woman, you can create success in AMWAY like a science.

Business Advice on How Best to Approach the Green Issue
In this business tv show we look at how businesses can operate sustainably in emerging economies. Experts Stephen Philips, Chief Executive, China-Britain Business Council, Ian Coleman, Partner, Head of emerging markets, PricewaterhouseCoopers UK, Frederique Schillern, COO Asia Pacific, Equity Trust, and Chris Runckel, President of international business consultants Runckel and Associates, look at issues from energy to air quality, and what green steps are being taken in emerging economies. Ian Coleman: I do believe that this issue of sustainability, broadening beyond climate change but sustainability which would capture thinking about employment practices as well as just sort of the climatic effects of this activity is going to be an absolutely central issue for the way in which emerging markets emerge. Chris Runckel: In China a lot of water ways if you are standing next o it your eyes are tearing from the smell of chemicals. If you’re in China travelling for a couple of weeks often times you’ll develop a cough because of the higher levels of articulates in the air. In general pollution is a very big problem in most of these developing countries it’s a problem. In China throughout the eastern area it’s an increasing problem in Vietnam, it will be a bigger and bigger problem in India. Frederique Schillern: I think we talked about China and its political and economic role in the world; it is more and more becoming a global player. That's going to mean for them to address things like the environment, in turn that means potential for a lot of companies dealing with environmental technology, environmentally friendly systems for example. It means that they have to open up their financial markets amongst other things, is one of the few things that is still very tightly controlled, that means of course an enormous amount of potential for environmental firms and all the advisory professional services that go with that. Ian Coleman: I think it would be wrong to characterise emerging markets as a whole to being unconcerned about the environmental effects of their economic activity, I just don’t believe that to be true. There is a lot of evidence that they are hugely concerned. What we do need however to understand are the conflicting prioritisations that they have to address domestically. We need to turn the spotlight on our own practices as well and I do think that this whole sustainability agenda is one where leading by example will be, in the long run, a great strategy for developed market participants. Stephen Philips: So how do you clear up the air, how do you do waste water treatment, how do you keep water clean, that type of issue and that’s really bringing together the best of UK technology to match the needs of China in terms of helping clean up the environment. There are also some very exciting projects going on led by British companies. A good example of that is ARAP who’s working on eco city just out of Shanghai outside Shanghai in a development called Dong Hang on an island called Chong Ming and that is leading the way in terms of developing a large urban centre for the population that tends to be migrating into urban areas but doing it in a way in which the impact on the environment is mitigated as much a possible.

Inclined Bed Therapy
John Cann Walks after 11 years of paralysis using a simple non-invasive free therapy, discovered by Andrew K Fletcher, who has shown beyond any shadow of doubt that gravity plays a vital roll in the circulation of fluids and that posture in relation to the constant direction of gravity is of paramount importance when restoring function to all neurological and non-neurological damage. Conditions this therapy has helped include: Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, spinal cord injury, short term memory loss, heart conditions, blood pressure, respiratory problems, psoriasis, thrombosis, varicose veins, oedema, optic nerve damage, bladder infections, scoliosis of the spine, leg ulcer, gangrene, even completely restoring sight in supposedly irreversible optic nerve damage caused through long term progressive ms, to the point where a lady with long term damage to the optic nerve, who could not make out the edge of her monitor, completed an Open University degree and can now legally drive a vehicle on the road without wearing glasses. Confirmed by her ophthalmologist. Tested by an independent therapist: http://eregimens.com/therapies/MiscTherapies/Inclined%20bed%20therapy.html Currently conducting an experiment to prove that psoriasis is a circulation problem rather than a disease. If you know of anyone who has this condition and would help by providing before during and after photographs of affected areas please ask them to read the information about this experiment at: http://www.psoriasis-help.org.uk/forum/index.php/topic,18376.0.html Google "Andrew K Fletcher" or "inclined bed therapy" to learn more about this amazing discovery. Spinal Cord Injury On Saturday April 15th 2000, John obtained the timber for parallel bars to be erected at his home in Cornwall, On Sunday I went to John's home and completed the job, for tomorrow was to be a momentous occasion indeed. John was left paralysed, in 1990, when surgery to his spine went wrong. He was told that after two years any chance of further recovery would be highly unlikely and for the next six years he experienced little if any change in his condition. Monday morning I am on my way to John's home in Cornwall, to meet with Tim Iredale, who is a news reporter for Carlton Television Southwest. We intended to witness something truly magical. But could not have imagined what was in store for us. John was about walk in front of a television camera and crew for the first time in close to ten years. John had told me that he had regained the ability to move his legs, but I had grossly underestimated how much function John had regained. During the interview, John was asked to show how he manages to get out of bed now and he transferred with ease both in and out of bed, leaning back and lifting his legs. He was then asked to raise his legs while lying on the bed and he obliged with ease. When asked if he could feel when touched on his legs, he replied my legs feel like normal legs instead of heavy weights. John then went on to explain how much of the swelling in his legs had gone-and that this flies in the face of the current act of elevating the legs above the heart. Advise from the medical profession, which John duly ignored in favour of sleeping with his legs down. Fortunately for John this meant that he could now wear ankle braces and special shoes, which would, provided support for his substantially weakened and as yet unresponsive ankles. John approached the parallel bars in his wheel chair and applied the brakes when he was in position. He grasped the two ends of the parallel bars and using his legs he pushed himself into a vertical position. Towering some six feet four inches, John moved one leg in front of the other, bending the knees as he lifted each leg to walk 12 feet to the end of the bars. I turned and looked at Tim and saw disbelief and astonishment flash across his face, I bet my face was a sight to behold too. John then turned his powerful 19 stone body around and walked, yes walked back to his chair. Struggling and somewhat weakened by the experience, he lowered his body into the chair and his face had the expression of a boxer who had just knocked down his opponent. He said casually: 'Was that alright'? John had indeed delivered a powerful blow to his opponent. Fortunately heavy rain prevented us from doing a retake and the rest of the interview took place in John's bedroom. When the story was finished and everyone was ready to leave, I turned and thanked the camera man and Tim Iredale, who turned and said that this is one of those days that you will always remember, one of those days when you know exactly what you were doing. The cameraman said while shaking my hand that: ' it has been a privilege to work with me and witness the results from such a simple application'. I drove home the richest man alive that day and will remember it for the rest of my days. On Monday the 17th April 2000 I waited for the local news on Carlton TV and saw the opening news which pictured me looking down my Naturesway Sleep System, a simple bed designed for to take us into the new millennium. After the interlude the fun really started. John was walking for everyone in the South West of England to see, at least. The news stayed focused on the remarkable effects of two eight-inch blocks tucked under the head end of John's bed. No $billion research, no waiting for the next ten years to see if it works and no room for any refutation of the results, which were plain for everyone to see on Carlton Television, News, Language Science Park, Plympton, Plymouth, Devon, UK. But John is not the only person with a spinal cord injury, who is benefiting from the effects of gravity, in fact there are two more people in the Torbay Area of Devon who are making steady progress. Sunday Independent April 16th,2000 page 4 Burrington Way, Plymouth PL5 3LN UK Heading: RAISING HIS BED TOWARDS THE SKIES, BY ANTHONY ABBOTT. WHEELCHAIR-BOUND Julian Boustead is taking to the skies for a parachute jump to raise awareness about a simple bed treatment that's given him a new lease of life. The 37 year old - who was left paralysed after breaking his neck during a charity assault course run. Struggling to get out of bed in the morning and always felt the cold until he took the simple step of raising the head of his bed on blocks of wood by a matter of inches. Julian, who lives near Torquay, has urged everyone to try the Naturesway Sleep System, Pioneered by West-Country Inventor Andrew Fletcher, and first revealed in the Sunday Independent nearly three years ago. He said; 'I used to feel dizzy when I got up and I couldn't stay outdoors for long because I always felt the cold. 'After the first night, I got out of bed straight away with the help of the nurses and I did not feel faint, My circulation has also improved. I would never put the bed back again and all my family are sleeping on raised beds.' Now Julian, a former professional boxer and equestrian expert who still teaches youngsters riding, has premised Andrew Fletcher he will do a parachute jump this summer to show other sufferers the benefit of the bed treatment. Julian Colour Picture: Sub heading: Wheelchair-bound Julian Boustead will jump from the skies this summer. Picture Steve Porter It was former engineer Andrew who contacted Julian two years ago after learning of his plight and suggested he tried the bed method. Gravity Andrew was fascinated by the way water moved up trees through roots and wandered how the gravity and the flow of water would effect the human body. He put some bricks under the head of his own bed and within four weeks, his wife's varicose veins had disappeared. Since then he has discovered his treatment has helped MS sufferers get some feeling back in their legs and arthritis sufferers. John's story In 1990 I had two slipped discs, and had a lamenectomy which ended up with me being unable to walk. It is thought that a delay of 39 hours for surgery to what was found to be a compression of the spinal cord was responsible for my paralysis. I was lucky enough to get a bed at ROOKWOOD Hospital, a place that I cannot thank or speak highly enough of, they gave me back the will to live. After two years all the slow progress stopped as I had been informed to expect. I had no feeling from the hips down and no movement of the legs at all. Luckily my arms were o.k so transfers to the wheelchair were more of a throw which usually ended with my coccyx hitting the wheel, but as there was no feeling, so it didn't bother me too much. After a few months came the most horrendous phantom pains like a knife attached to the mains that struck anywhere in the legs or feet, for this I was on strong painkillers or if it was too bad injections. When driving my car around a corner, I had to wedge my head against the roof of the car to stop my body from falling over. This was due to damage to the nerves, which used to control the nerves which held my upper body erect, something I used to take for granted as everyone else does. Getting into bed would involve tremendous effort. I would throw my rear onto the bed and then with my right hand holding the wheel, I would pull my left leg up, with my left hand, holding my trouser leg. Then holding the bedding with my left hand, I would pull my right leg up with my right hand. At one stage I had even asked for my legs to be amputated, as they were useless and hung heavily. In addition my toenails would fall out on a regular basis, predominantly the big toe nails, often coming away when I removed my socks. I often bumped my coccyx while transferring from my wheelchair, though I could not tell if I had injured myself, due to the absence of pain. About two years ago a cutting from a paper was sent to me, it was about Andrew Fletcher's raised bed. I rang Andrew and he explained his theory and told me how to raise the bed. The bed was raised eight inches that day, when I saw the bed it looked impossible not to end up on the floor at the foot. However that night was wonderful, the phantom pains stopped and I had a full nights sleep. Slowly things started to improve, improvements such as instead of having to grab my sock or trouser leg to lift my legs onto the bed I could lean back and swing them up, muscles in my thighs started to twitch, turning over in bed became possible without having to grab the side of the bed and pull myself over, not having to pull my legs over by hand. I have experienced so many improvements that creep up and are not noticed until days later. Pains started again and I thought here we go again, but it soon became obvious to me that it was nerve regeneration pains that I was experiencing. Although they felt like previous pains, these stayed in the same place anything from six to twenty four hours. The next time the pains moved further down the leg, now I am glad to say those pains have gone the last ones were in my toes. The present pains are in the feet again but generated from the nerve that runs under the buttocks, now the feeling has come back to that area it makes sitting in the wheelchair most uncomfortable, but that is the next problem to get over, but I will, in the knowledge that something else will improve when the new pains subside. Now, what I would like to say to everyone who reads this is; if you have any medical problem try it, and more importantly "stick with it"! Most of all have faith in the healing power of gravity, it has worked for me, AND WHEN I WALK AGAIN! I will first thank Andrew, and secondly I will let everyone that reads this web page know about it. John Cann
Israel - casser économie du Liban
19 septembre 2006 Business Owners, Workers Charge Israel Deliberately Targeted Lebanon's Economy We turn now to Lebanon. The Israeli military's chief of staff was quoted as saying the Israeli army will complete a pullout from southern Lebanon within a few days. Ran Cohen, a legislator with the left-wing Meretz party, said Lieutenant-General Dan Halutz told him all troops would return to Israel by the Jewish New Year, which begins at sunset on Friday. There are currently 4,600 international troops in southern Lebanon under a United Nations mandate. The UN-brokered ceasefire in August ended the 34-day conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The month-long conflict killed over 1,000 Lebanese, mostly civilians and wounded many more. Over 150 Israelis, mostly soldiers, were also killed. While the death toll and destruction of infrastructure in Lebanon have been widely reported. What are the long-lasting effects on Lebanon's economy? Democracy Now producer Ana Nogueira filed this report from Beirut. ANA NOGUEIRA: As the dust settles on the bombed ruins of Lebanon, the long-term economic effects of the war are coming into dramatic focus. The Lebanese government has put the cost of reconstruction at $10 billion, but that figure is dwarfed by the indirect effects of Israeli strikes to Lebanon's economy. 900 factories, farms and small businesses have been damaged or destroyed. Power stations, water treatment plants and hundreds of roads and bridges will cost millions to repair. The country's unemployment rate is at a staggering 75%. Wajih Bizri, president of the Lebanese International Chamber of Commerce, estimates that over $200 million in direct damage was inflicted on the industrial sector, with dairy, cement, glass and prefab housing factories hit hardest. WAJIH BIZRI: In the industrial sector, there were many factories hit, and there’s absolutely no reason, we see. Many of the places that were hit had nothing to do with any fighting or any arms or whatever, like factories for dairy products, factories for prefabricated houses, factories for glass bottles and paper mills and timber. All the factories, they had nothing to do with the war. The only reason they were hit, they were because they wanted to destroy or affect the industry. ANA NOGUEIRA: Maliban, the second largest glassworks in the Middle East, with production reaching some 200 tons a day, sells not only to Lebanon, but to Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, Algeria, and even many parts of Europe. The factory was destroyed by Israeli missiles on July 19th, the sixth day of the war. This is Maliban’s assistant general manager, Muhieddine Nikhalawi. MUHIEDDINE NIKHALAWI: Israel attacked us suddenly with five missiles, and they destroyed the company, the factory, completely. And all the machinery and [inaudible], everything collapsed. Machinery become in pieces. And it will take time, not less than eight months to one year, if we start building now. Nobody knows what’s in their mind. But I believe they are destroying everything, and we are in a very big crisis. We have nearly 500 hungry families [inaudible] money from here: transporters, suppliers, all they are surviving with Maliban [inaudible] factory. ANA NOGUEIRA: Maliban has had to suspend over 200 worker contracts. Tufi El-Hindi is one of the few factory workers lucky enough to still have a job. Tasked now with clearing up rubble, he says it's clear to him why they were attacked. TUFI EL-HINDI: [translated] Competition, this is why [inaudible], because they sell to Egypt, Turkey, other countries, so he thinks it’s less competition. You cannot explain it in another way. This is it. ANA NOGUEIRA: Several managers of the hardest hit factories agree. Dalal is one of the biggest steel and prefab housing manufacturers in all of the Middle East. It even lists the U.S. Army in Iraq as an indirect client. The factory was destroyed on July 23rd in an Israeli air strike. This is Dalal’s general manager, Georges Hanna. GEORGES HANNA: They hit everything: 25,000 square meter coverage area, factories, all of them damaged. And we have 12,000 square meter yard, a storage area with prefabricated houses ready to ship to Iraq and some hangars to [inaudible}. All of them are damaged now. We think it’s about -- they have also some factories who made the same products like us, and they made this attack to eliminate us from the market. ANA NOGUEIRA: Liban Lait, the country's largest dairy farm, is another widely cited example of a factory bombed by Israel for reasons of economic competition. In 2001, the company won a $15,000 per week contract to supply the United Nations interim force in Lebanon with dairy products. Prior to that, the contract was held by an Israeli firm. This is Michel Waked, the company's director. MICHEL WAKED: We were quite respectable, I think. Quite respectable trademark on the market. And we had, I think, one of the best dairies in the area. UNIFIL switched from Israel to us. And this is the reason, you know, because they were satisfied with our quality, with the milk, with everything. And we have been supplying them for the past five years, milk, until we were bombed. ANA NOGUEIRA: Israel has said it bombed facilities it suspected of housing munitions for Hezbollah. But Liban Lait’s Christian Maronite owner says the claim is ridiculous. MICHEL WAKED: When you have a contract with the United Nations, and the United Nations contract, they say, you know, they can inspect the factory any time they want. So, second, we had the contact people. They come here very often, and they live on the site. And they know every corner of the factory. Hezbollah, are they so stupid to come and put their bombs here? If all -- they come and put in a dairy who has a contract with the United Nations and who produces a dairy license from a French company, and we have engineers, foreign engineers. Will they put their bombs here? You know, this is the third time our factory get destroyed. Three times. In ’82, the same thing happened. I was the founder of [inaudible] before. I used to be the chairman of [inaudible]. And when the Israelis entered, the same thing happened. It's not the first time. So how can you consider Israeli as a friend, or whatever? You always consider Israel the enemy. And the only dairy who can compete with them is us. ANA NOGUEIRA: All the factories are asking for funds from the Lebanese government for reconstruction. But with only $1 billion in aid so far, the country's priorities right now rest with rebuilding roads, water treatment plants and electricity systems. It will be years before Lebanon returns to being the prosperous country it was only a few weeks ago. For Democracy Now!, this is Ana Nogueira Lebanon.

On Monday the 17th April 2000 I waited for the local news on Carlton TV and saw the opening news which pictured me looking down my Naturesway Sleep System, a simple bed designed for to take us into the new millennium. After the interlude the fun really started. John was walking for everyone in the South West of England to see, at least. The news stayed focused on the remarkable effects of two eight-inch blocks tucked under the head end of John's bed. No $billion research, no waiting for the next ten years to see if it works and no room for any refutation of the results, which were plain for everyone to see on Carlton Television, News, Language Science Park, Plympton, Plymouth, Devon, UK. But John is not the only person with a spinal cord injury, who is benefiting from the effects of gravity, in fact there are two more people in the Torbay Area of Devon who are making steady progress. Sunday Independent April 16th,2000 page 4 Burrington Way, Plymouth PL5 3LN UK Heading: RAISING HIS BED TOWARDS THE SKIES, BY ANTHONY ABBOTT. WHEELCHAIR-BOUND Julian Boustead is taking to the skies for a parachute jump to raise awareness about a simple bed treatment that's given him a new lease of life. The 37 year old - who was left paralysed after breaking his neck during a charity assault course run. Struggling to get out of bed in the morning and always felt the cold until he took the simple step of raising the head of his bed on blocks of wood by a matter of inches. Julian, who lives near Torquay, has urged everyone to try the Naturesway Sleep System, Pioneered by West-Country Inventor Andrew Fletcher, and first revealed in the Sunday Independent nearly three years ago. He said; 'I used to feel dizzy when I got up and I couldn't stay outdoors for long because I always felt the cold. 'After the first night, I got out of bed straight away with the help of the nurses and I did not feel faint, My circulation has also improved. I would never put the bed back again and all my family are sleeping on raised beds.' Now Julian, a former professional boxer and equestrian expert who still teaches youngsters riding, has premised Andrew Fletcher he will do a parachute jump this summer to show other sufferers the benefit of the bed treatment. Julian Colour Picture: Sub heading: Wheelchair-bound Julian Boustead will jump from the skies this summer. Picture Steve Porter It was former engineer Andrew who contacted Julian two years ago after learning of his plight and suggested he tried the bed method. Gravity Andrew was fascinated by the way water moved up trees through roots and wandered how the gravity and the flow of water would effect the human body. He put some bricks under the head of his own bed and within four weeks, his wife's varicose veins had disappeared. Since then he has discovered his treatment has helped MS sufferers get some feeling back in their legs and arthritis sufferers. John's story In 1990 I had two slipped discs, and had a lamenectomy which ended up with me being unable to walk. It is thought that a delay of 39 hours for surgery to what was found to be a compression of the spinal cord was responsible for my paralysis. I was lucky enough to get a bed at ROOKWOOD Hospital, a place that I cannot thank or speak highly enough of, they gave me back the will to live. After two years all the slow progress stopped as I had been informed to expect. I had no feeling from the hips down and no movement of the legs at all. Luckily my arms were o.k so transfers to the wheelchair were more of a throw which usually ended with my coccyx hitting the wheel, but as there was no feeling, so it didn't bother me too much. After a few months came the most horrendous phantom pains like a knife attached to the mains that struck anywhere in the legs or feet, for this I was on strong painkillers or if it was too bad injections. When driving my car around a corner, I had to wedge my head against the roof of the car to stop my body from falling over. This was due to damage to the nerves, which used to control the nerves which held my upper body erect, something I used to take for granted as everyone else does. Getting into bed would involve tremendous effort. I would throw my rear onto the bed and then with my right hand holding the wheel, I would pull my left leg up, with my left hand, holding my trouser leg. Then holding the bedding with my left hand, I would pull my right leg up with my right hand. At one stage I had even asked for my legs to be amputated, as they were useless and hung heavily. In addition my toenails would fall out on a regular basis, predominantly the big toe nails, often coming away when I removed my socks. I often bumped my coccyx while transferring from my wheelchair, though I could not tell if I had injured myself, due to the absence of pain. About two years ago a cutting from a paper was sent to me, it was about Andrew Fletcher's raised bed. I rang Andrew and he explained his theory and told me how to raise the bed. The bed was raised eight inches that day, when I saw the bed it looked impossible not to end up on the floor at the foot. However that night was wonderful, the phantom pains stopped and I had a full nights sleep. Slowly things started to improve, improvements such as instead of having to grab my sock or trouser leg to lift my legs onto the bed I could lean back and swing them up, muscles in my thighs started to twitch, turning over in bed became possible without having to grab the side of the bed and pull myself over, not having to pull my legs over by hand. I have experienced so many improvements that creep up and are not noticed until days later. Pains started again and I thought here we go again, but it soon became obvious to me that it was nerve regeneration pains that I was experiencing. Although they felt like previous pains, these stayed in the same place anything from six to twenty four hours. The next time the pains moved further down the leg, now I am glad to say those pains have gone the last ones were in my toes. The present pains are in the feet again but generated from the nerve that runs under the buttocks, now the feeling has come back to that area it makes sitting in the wheelchair most uncomfortable, but that is the next problem to get over, but I will, in the knowledge that something else will improve when the new pains subside. Now, what I would like to say to everyone who reads this is; if you have any medical problem try it, and more importantly "stick with it"! Most of all have faith in the healing power of gravity, it has worked for me, AND WHEN I WALK AGAIN! I will first thank Andrew, and secondly I will let everyone that reads this web page know about it. John Cann
Israel - casser économie du Liban
19 septembre 2006 Business Owners, Workers Charge Israel Deliberately Targeted Lebanon's Economy We turn now to Lebanon. The Israeli military's chief of staff was quoted as saying the Israeli army will complete a pullout from southern Lebanon within a few days. Ran Cohen, a legislator with the left-wing Meretz party, said Lieutenant-General Dan Halutz told him all troops would return to Israel by the Jewish New Year, which begins at sunset on Friday. There are currently 4,600 international troops in southern Lebanon under a United Nations mandate. The UN-brokered ceasefire in August ended the 34-day conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The month-long conflict killed over 1,000 Lebanese, mostly civilians and wounded many more. Over 150 Israelis, mostly soldiers, were also killed. While the death toll and destruction of infrastructure in Lebanon have been widely reported. What are the long-lasting effects on Lebanon's economy? Democracy Now producer Ana Nogueira filed this report from Beirut. ANA NOGUEIRA: As the dust settles on the bombed ruins of Lebanon, the long-term economic effects of the war are coming into dramatic focus. The Lebanese government has put the cost of reconstruction at $10 billion, but that figure is dwarfed by the indirect effects of Israeli strikes to Lebanon's economy. 900 factories, farms and small businesses have been damaged or destroyed. Power stations, water treatment plants and hundreds of roads and bridges will cost millions to repair. The country's unemployment rate is at a staggering 75%. Wajih Bizri, president of the Lebanese International Chamber of Commerce, estimates that over $200 million in direct damage was inflicted on the industrial sector, with dairy, cement, glass and prefab housing factories hit hardest. WAJIH BIZRI: In the industrial sector, there were many factories hit, and there’s absolutely no reason, we see. Many of the places that were hit had nothing to do with any fighting or any arms or whatever, like factories for dairy products, factories for prefabricated houses, factories for glass bottles and paper mills and timber. All the factories, they had nothing to do with the war. The only reason they were hit, they were because they wanted to destroy or affect the industry. ANA NOGUEIRA: Maliban, the second largest glassworks in the Middle East, with production reaching some 200 tons a day, sells not only to Lebanon, but to Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, Algeria, and even many parts of Europe. The factory was destroyed by Israeli missiles on July 19th, the sixth day of the war. This is Maliban’s assistant general manager, Muhieddine Nikhalawi. MUHIEDDINE NIKHALAWI: Israel attacked us suddenly with five missiles, and they destroyed the company, the factory, completely. And all the machinery and [inaudible], everything collapsed. Machinery become in pieces. And it will take time, not less than eight months to one year, if we start building now. Nobody knows what’s in their mind. But I believe they are destroying everything, and we are in a very big crisis. We have nearly 500 hungry families [inaudible] money from here: transporters, suppliers, all they are surviving with Maliban [inaudible] factory. ANA NOGUEIRA: Maliban has had to suspend over 200 worker contracts. Tufi El-Hindi is one of the few factory workers lucky enough to still have a job. Tasked now with clearing up rubble, he says it's clear to him why they were attacked. TUFI EL-HINDI: [translated] Competition, this is why [inaudible], because they sell to Egypt, Turkey, other countries, so he thinks it’s less competition. You cannot explain it in another way. This is it. ANA NOGUEIRA: Several managers of the hardest hit factories agree. Dalal is one of the biggest steel and prefab housing manufacturers in all of the Middle East. It even lists the U.S. Army in Iraq as an indirect client. The factory was destroyed on July 23rd in an Israeli air strike. This is Dalal’s general manager, Georges Hanna. GEORGES HANNA: They hit everything: 25,000 square meter coverage area, factories, all of them damaged. And we have 12,000 square meter yard, a storage area with prefabricated houses ready to ship to Iraq and some hangars to [inaudible}. All of them are damaged now. We think it’s about -- they have also some factories who made the same products like us, and they made this attack to eliminate us from the market. ANA NOGUEIRA: Liban Lait, the country's largest dairy farm, is another widely cited example of a factory bombed by Israel for reasons of economic competition. In 2001, the company won a $15,000 per week contract to supply the United Nations interim force in Lebanon with dairy products. Prior to that, the contract was held by an Israeli firm. This is Michel Waked, the company's director. MICHEL WAKED: We were quite respectable, I think. Quite respectable trademark on the market. And we had, I think, one of the best dairies in the area. UNIFIL switched from Israel to us. And this is the reason, you know, because they were satisfied with our quality, with the milk, with everything. And we have been supplying them for the past five years, milk, until we were bombed. ANA NOGUEIRA: Israel has said it bombed facilities it suspected of housing munitions for Hezbollah. But Liban Lait’s Christian Maronite owner says the claim is ridiculous. MICHEL WAKED: When you have a contract with the United Nations, and the United Nations contract, they say, you know, they can inspect the factory any time they want. So, second, we had the contact people. They come here very often, and they live on the site. And they know every corner of the factory. Hezbollah, are they so stupid to come and put their bombs here? If all -- they come and put in a dairy who has a contract with the United Nations and who produces a dairy license from a French company, and we have engineers, foreign engineers. Will they put their bombs here? You know, this is the third time our factory get destroyed. Three times. In ’82, the same thing happened. I was the founder of [inaudible] before. I used to be the chairman of [inaudible]. And when the Israelis entered, the same thing happened. It's not the first time. So how can you consider Israeli as a friend, or whatever? You always consider Israel the enemy. And the only dairy who can compete with them is us. ANA NOGUEIRA: All the factories are asking for funds from the Lebanese government for reconstruction. But with only $1 billion in aid so far, the country's priorities right now rest with rebuilding roads, water treatment plants and electricity systems. It will be years before Lebanon returns to being the prosperous country it was only a few weeks ago. For Democracy Now!, this is Ana Nogueira Lebanon.
Are There Any Grants for Water Treatment Systems? - Eco Financing (UK)
As yet there are no grants, government or otherwise, available in the UK to help meet the installation costs of a sewage treatment system.
