Buy your Jigsaw from us at Randburg Midas then learn how to use it like a pro! We have the perfect power tools to help you tackle and master any DIY project! In our opinion, the jigsaw ranks a close second to the cordless drill as must have do-it-yourself power tools. They are very versatile and work perfectly for around the house fixes and small woodworking projects. Even if you’ve never used a saw before the jigsaw is extremely intuitive and also safer to operate than most power saws. Children can also be taught how to use a jigsaw and can be one of the first power tools they learn to use. But as with any power tool they should be respected and handled with care as well and proper safety equipment should be used when operating them. Jigsaws are perfect for cutting pine boards and plywood both of which will be used extensively in many of the DIY projects we are going to post. You can also buy saw blades that will cut laminate, tile and metal. Before using your jigsaw make sure you have the correct blade and your workspace is clear of any obstructions. You’ll also want to consider using gloves and we highly recommend wearing safety goggles to protect your eyes from sawdust. When you start your cut make sure the shoe of the saw which is the flat guide is firmly placed on the cutting material and start the blade before moving it into the wood. Mark out your cuts beforehand and keep your fingers far away from the blade. Also be aware of what is below your cutting material so it doesn’t get snagged by the blade such as a cord, table or pant leg. With more experience, you’ll get the hang of using your jigsaw and learn how to cut corners (literally) and make smooth cuts around edges For more information: Call or WhatsApp (082) 882-6324 | (011) 789-4411 / (011) 036-0200 | marco@midasrandburg.co.za | 191 Bram Fischer Drive, Randburg.

Are you sick and tired of expensive damages caused by potholes? If you answered yes, you have got to read this article on how to claim for pothole damage to your car! Yes you read that correctly. You can actually claim damages caused by potholes! if they meet certain requirements, of course. Motorists have become accustomed to the rigours of replacing tyres due to potholes but there is a way to circumvent the cost of new tyres. Not only are your tyres being damaged, but your vehicle’s rims can too, which leads to a whole host of other problems. Les McMaster, chairperson of the Motor Industry Workshop Association (MIWA), says rim damage can often lead to vehicle alignment and suspension problems. Craig Courtney-Leaver, CEO of alloy rim repair specialists, Wheel Collision, said, “If one feels a vibration in the steering wheel, the chances are one of the front rims are damaged and if one feels the vibration on the seat, then it is usually a rear rim.” So, what happens when you have replaced a burst or damaged tyre? Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) spokesperson Bertha Peters-Scheepers said, “The public may lodge a claim with the JRA’s Legal Department for alleged damages suffered due to road and/or infrastructure (such as manhole or kerb inlet) that the JRA as a municipal-owned entity of the City of Johannesburg is mandated to maintain.” There are a couple of procedures that have to be followed in order to claim. In addition to completing the claim form, attach the following documents: Police affidavit Copy of driver’s license of the claimant (in case of vehicle damage) Vehicle registration documents (in case of vehicle damage) Copy of ID Photos of the damage to the car (in case of vehicle damage) Three quotations or invoice/proof of payment Letter from insurance company confirming that the claim was not logged to own insurance Doctor’s report if there is personal injury JRA recommends that you either email or fax the documents. Doing both only delays the process. Peters-Scheepers added, “It is important [for readers to be aware] that the claims process does take time as we work with both our insurance brokers and insurers in the processing of claims.” Each claim is assessed on its merits and in accordance with our public liability policy which means not all claims will be successfully paid out. For additional information please contact JRA directly on: hotline@jra.org.za or 086 056 2874….
We post daily on some of the most useful and interesting topics that are trending in the world including:
"Search engines cannot index pages with Flash and using Flash in your page will lower it's ranking."
Anyone who's read some of my other writings on Flash might be wondering why I have included the above opinion as a myth. You're right, I'm not a big fan of Flash but, as with many things, there is a time and a place ...
The last point first - including Flash will not lower the rank of a page or a site. It may not help it but it can't lower it. That would be like saying including images on your page will lower the rank. It could be argued that the inclusion of a Flash script could dilute the keyword density, but the counter to that is if Flash is loaded correctly this can be minimised. Besides, if this can throw it off it couldn't have been very good before.
Where Flash is a problem is relying on it for navigation or for a complete site. Search engines don't understand the graphic content of a Flash file but some, Google in particular, are making great efforts to extract the text content in Flash files. Any text extracted will be indexed. The problem is portions of the text extracted can be seen out of context and will not flow like a standard page, and the jury is still out on the issue of following links to other pages on the site.
The big mistake when using Flash is to limit the alternate text (for when Flash is unavailable) to a link to download Flash. Think about it, the majority of people who want to or are able to use Flash probably already have it loaded. By all means provide a method of downloading or upgrading Flash, if required, but make sure you also provide some content that is relevant to the purpose of the site and some contact information for the search engines and other visitors without Flash.
Stay focused on delivering the right message to your audience. Anything that distracts or annoys them while visiting your site is harmful. A mini movie complete with soundtrack does more to demonstrate the skills of the designer than inform your audience about your product or service.
You can quibble about the exact percentage, but our experience suggests Google is far and away the most dominant Search Engine in operation at present, so let's assume 80% is about right. Even so, the only time this advice is good is if you only have a limited opportunity to promote your site. If that's the case, of course your effort should be with Google. Put your effort where it will do the most good.
Back in the world in which I live, I can't afford to ignore 20% of the potential market. Besides, most of the Search Engines follow many of the same basic rules, so success in one often translates to success in the others, and how hard is it to submit your site to Yahoo and NineMSN? In my opinion - not very! So why wouldn't you try to get some recognition in the other engines? If you have these 3 engines working for you, you may have more like 95% of the Search Engine market covered.
Ignoring the other Search Engines is a bit like not making some effort to ensure your website meets the minimum Accessibility Standards. Ignoring every 5th potential customer is short sighted (no pun intended) to say the least.

There is nothing worse than shopping online, finding a thumbnail size image of the product that just may be what you need and it has a caption "Click to Enlarge", and when you click it you see the same thumbnail-size image.
This sort of "helpfulness" will turn away a shopper in the blink of an eye. While you're at it make sure when you show the image you give the visitor some options - like how to get back to where they can buy the product. You've done all the hard work. It's now time to make the sale.
