“Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.”Brian Tracy

• Don't eat raw vegetables. Just assume they are contaminated. Make sure that all vegetables have been well cooked. • Eat fresh fruit and nuts only if there are no breaks in the peel or shell. Wash all fruits. • Be sure that all meat and fish is thoroughly cooked, and try to eat it while it is still hot. This will lower your risk of getting tapeworm or trichinosis. • Take extra care with milk and other dairy products, especially if they have not been pasteurized or properly refrigerated. • Avoid perishable food sold unrefrigerated (e.g., from street vendors). • Many modern hotels, even in the developing countries, purify the water, but if you are at all in doubt, don't drink it. • Safe beverages include coffee and tea (if the water has been boiled) and canned soft drinks. • Before you drink anything out of a bottle or can, wipe the top well. Only use straws that come in sealed paper sleeves. • The most important treatment for upset stomachs is replacement of the lost fluids.

• The seat should be positioned so that the driver does not need to overstretch his legs to operate the pedals. The best knee angle for driving should be about 130°.

• Shorter drivers in particular should try not to sit too close to the wheel as in this position the airbag can cause injury.

• A seat in an upright or slightly reclining position causes less stress on the back and reduces the effect of vibration.

• If you have an existing back problem, an automatic car would cause less stress on the spine than a manual vehicle.

• Most vehicles have an adjustable steering wheel, which allows the wheel to be set at the correct height and reach.

• To prevent whiplash injuries, motorists should ensure that the headrest is correctly positioned. The top of the head restraint should be level with the top of the driver's head, or at least no lower than eye level.

Drink plenty of clear (boiled) liquids, such as tea; or try canned fruit juices and soft drinks (non-caffeinated if possible). Do not drink milk or consume other dairy products. Salted biscuits may help. • If you have small children with you, it might be useful to carry along a few bottles of paediatric oral rehydration solution. • Frequent hand washing is usually a good idea.

TURE

“Jusyomore senergywhen talignmyour thgoals, Brian Tra

The right driving posture is vital. Many people experience leg and back pain when they drive for long distances as the muscles tend to shorten and tighten, and even becomes injured. Also most people drive with the right leg and hip externally rotated with the knee slightly bent which tends to cause mild nerve root irritation in the lower back, causing referred pain into the hip, knee and foot. Take care by following these guidelines.

Remember that vacations are supposed to be fun, but it wouldn't take much to turn an expensive trip into a miserable experience. Here are some precautions about food, water and sanitation that may help keep you fit and active during your travels.

Developed by Al Balushi Investment, Mayar Al Khoudh is clearly something out of the ordinary. Launched in June 2008, this unique, luxurious residential project is already ahead of schedule and is now targeted for delivery by July 2010. A first-of-its-kind re sidential complex, it consists of 58 stand-alone private villas involving four different architectural designs. It is located in the hear t of new Muscat, only 16 kms away from Muscat International Airport, and spreads over an impressive 23,000 sqm in Al Khoudh.

Pioneering project by Al Balushi InvestmentThis multi-million Rial project is a groundbreaking effort in its conception and achievement. It will have managed facilities like Swimming Pools, Indoor & Outdoor Children’s Playgrounds, Shopping and Recreational Areas, Gymnasiums and Walking Tracks . It is one of the many unique and successful ventures that Al Balushi Investment has developed. The Company manages various investments and focuses on Real Estate Development and Property Management and also has a wide range of businesses that include eqarat.com (Real Estate), First Medical Centre LLC (Welcare Diagnostic & Treatment Centre), Easy Travel & Tours and Volume Properties - UAE.

UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT“True to its commitment, Al Balushi Investment is proud to announce that Mayar Al Khoudh is ahead of schedule. We are extremely thrilled at the progress of the construction work.

Our mission is to provide unique development projects for the local community and GCC nationals to capitalise on ownership and investment opportunities in the real estate market. Mayar Al Khoudh is paving the way for many more projects to come. We have accomplished a significant number of real estate

development projects in Muscat and Sohar, targeting Omani and other GCC nationals. We are also developing an extensive number of additional projects including commercial/residential buildings in Bausher (near Muscat Private Hospital), residential villas in Al-Hail (near the Caledonian College of Engineering) and twin villa projects in Al Khoudh (near the Sultan Center).”

Hussain HabibGroup General Manager - Al Balushi Investment

PREMIUM PROJECTeqarat.com, one of the region’s leading

total solutions provider in the real estate

sector, was signed on as the exclusive

sales and marketing agent of Mayar Al

Khoudh and were able to successfully sell the entire project in record time!

“When eqarat.com signed with Al Balushi Investment to exclusively sell and market the project, we were aware of the awarding nature of this project, in terms of quality and concept as well as popularity in the kind of development Mayar Al Khoudh represents. It was remarkable to witness the surge of enquiries and not to forget the closing of the sale in record time. What is important to notice however, is that, during times like these we realise the true potential of a development such as Mayar Al Khoudh. Not only did the project do wonderfully at its launch, but the commitment and the undoubted capabilities of the developer has proven a sustained growth and an assurance on delivery as well as quality.”
