Yemen Security Brief

Yemeni military forces killed four suspected al Qaeda-linked militants outside Zinjibar in southern Yemen. The four militants were killed by shells launched by the army at positions in al Khamila and Bajdar near Zinjibar. [1] Commander of the Central Security Force, Brigadier General Yahya Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s nephew, stated in an interview that regarding the crisis in Yemen, “There is no solution other than dialogue.” Alluding to tribesmen led by Sheikh Sadiq al Ahmar and forces led by defected general Ali Mohsen al Ahmar, Saleh continued, “Some forces are pushing for confrontations. I reassure the Yemenis that this will not happen…concerns about a civil war in Yemen are false, God willing…But if they resort to arms or force, they know we will break their necks. And we will break the neck of anyone who tries to damage or harm the security and stability of the nation.” [2] Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh met with representatives from the Yemeni ruling party’s General People’s Congress (GPC) in Riyadh to discuss the ongoing crisis in Yemen and potential solutions to satisfy the opposition. Saleh indicated that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) initiative was the “appropriate mechanism to be carried out and to ensure peaceful and smooth transfer of power in accordance with the constitution.” Saleh added that the way in which the GCC initiative ought to be implemented has yet to be determined.

Horn of Africa Security Brief

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Ibrahim Haji Jama Mead, also known as Ibrahim al Afghani, has been appointed as the new leader of the al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab militant group. Al Afghani replaced the group’s former leader Ahmad Abdi Godane, also known as Abu Zubayr. Godane will reportedly be the new head of al Qaeda in East Africa. [4] Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) forces made major gains in southern Somalia after engaging in heavy battles with al Shabaab fighters. Lt. Colonel Mohamed Farah Dahir reported that troops have successful established bases in Hawina village near Dhobley, close to the Kenyan border. The officer noted that troops had “inflicted heavy losses” on al Shabaab forces.

Review Central Vacuum Retractable Hoses - More Central Vacuum ...

Today central vacuum owners are happier than they have been in years.  Lugging around a 30 foot central vacuum hose and then putting it up in the closet has been one of the only drawbacks to a central vacuum system.  Innovation has solved that problem and today there are a variety of central vacuum retractable hose solutions available to the central vacuum system user.

Hide-a-Hose was one of the first to market with a central vacuum hose management system.  This is what I use in my home. 

With Hide-A-Hose,  "The Retractable Hose Central Vac System", the vacuum hose is stored inside the wall. Each inlet valve has a hose hidden within the system´s own vacuum tubing. When you're finished, the suction from the central vacuum unit retracts the hose back out of sight. Then, you simply carry your handle to the next inlet.

Whil you can use a very powerful bagged or filtered central vacuum system, Hide-a-Hose recommends that you choose a true-cyclonic Central Vacuum for your Hide-a-Hose installation, and here's why. Because of the extra tubing installed to run a Hide-a-Hose, there will be a slight reduction in power.  If you have a true cyclonic, the power is never dimished as your dirt canister fills up, so your Hide-a-Hose always operates efficiently and effectively.  However, if you are using a paper bag unit or a filtered unit, your central vacuum power will diminish as your bag fills or your filter becomes impregnated with dirt.  So, there is a possiblity that your Hide-a-Hose will not function as well as if you had a true cyclonic system. You also need to know that if you intend to use an electrical powerhead, you will have to use a special extension available at Central Vacuum Stores.com

Canavac offers the Doc-It Hose Management System, and it is nothing like the Hide-a-Hose.  The Doc-It is installed behind your wall in between the studs.  The Doc-It has its own motor that releases and retracts the hose.  The main advantage of the Doc-It is it is not dependant on the power of your central vacuum power unit to operate and it also allows for the use of a direct connect electrical powerhead. The main disadvantage is if you are retrofitting in existing construc tion, you are going to have to do some drywall work.

Vacuflo has a neat product called the SPOT .   Very similar to the Hide-a-Hose, the SPOT stores a  ten foot hose in the wall, ready for instant access. The SPOT has an on-off switch right at the inlet. You can install it in a variety of locations throughout your house.
