ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Abu Dhabi’s national carrier, Etihad, showcased on Thursday the arrival of its first Airbus A380, outfitted with “the only three-room suite in the sky.”

The A380 is the first of a fleet of 10 on order from Etihad Airways, which is to take delivery of four more of the double-decker jets next year.

The A380 will operate daily to London Heathrow starting Dec. 27 and features “The Residence by Etihad” — a three-room suite, complete with a living room, a private bathroom with shower and a bedroom, as well as a dedicated butler at the very front of the plane’s upper deck. The 11.6 square metre (125 square foot) cabin is for single or double occupancy.

The airliner says the suite has already been booked for its inaugural flight to London. The company’s executives previously said that the suite was expected to be priced at $21,000 — one way.

The fast-growing Gulf carrier has a fleet of 109 aircraft, and more than 200 aircraft on firm order.

The airline also showcased Thursday its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which will begin flying to Dusseldorf, Germany, on Feb. 1. It will offer high-end travellers a suite with a chilled mini-bar and seats that can be joined to create a double bed.

The company said that three more of the Dreamliners are expected to be delivered in 2015.

Etihad President and Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said that despite some delays with the 787 due to a variety of glitches, he is “very confident that the issues they have had have been resolved.”

Etihad said that Abu Dhabi-based FGB and The National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia will provide financing for the purchase of a number of its Boeing 787 aircraft. It also received financing from Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank for its first Airbus A380 aircraft.

Hand Held Bidet Shower Bathroom Kitchen Hygeian Faucet
 

A bidet shower (bidet spray, bidet sprayer, or health faucet, sometimes colloquially called a "bum gun") is a hand-held triggered nozzle,
similar to that on a kitchen sink sprayer, that delivers a spray of water to assist in anal cleansing and cleaning the genitals after defecation and urination. 

Description:

The head of this bidet has 7 holes and a copper spool build in and it can provide three different water flows, mild, mudium, large mode.

When you push the switch with your thumb, the water flow will change until you find the most suitable water flow mode.

7 holes design can effectively increase water volume and reduce water pressure that can avoid skin irritation.

Groove design makes it easy and comfortable to take by hand and prevent slipping.

5 layer plating treatment can effectively prevent rust and make it elegant.

Usage:

The user typically grasps the faucet in the right hand and uses the thumb or forefinger (depending on the trigger location)
to aim a spray of water at the anus or genitals, sometimes using the left hand (never the right hand in many cultures) or toilet paper to assist cleansing. 
Use of the left hand only for cleansing, and considering it unclean in many circumstances in everyday life.

The health faucet is a source of water for people who prefer using water rather than other methods of anal cleansing.
The bidet shower is a relatively modern replacement for the traditional sources of water for this action,
such as the bidet, copper pot or bucket and mug, being more hygienic and compact.
There is no contact between the spray of water and the used water drainage.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Talk about some serious legroom.

Etihad Airways, a fast-growing Mideast carrier, laid out plans Sunday to offer passengers who find first-class seats a bit too tight a miniature suite featuring a closed-off bedroom, private bathroom and a dedicated butler.

It is the latest salvo in the worldwide battle among airlines for well-heeled customers. Their willingness to spend big on premium seats can make a big difference to an airline's bottom line.

The Abu Dhabi-based carrier revealed the front-of-plane amenities as part of a broader rollout of plush new cabin offerings for dozens of long-range jetliners it plans to receive over the coming years.

Etihad CEO James Hogan conceded that offering what the airline says is the first-of-its-kind multi-room suite helps generate buzz, but that ultimately it is a serious effort to bring in more cash. The carrier already woos the flying elite with perks including first-class onboard chefs and in-flight nannies.

"Obviously there's going to be a halo effect in the positioning of Etihad Air as a premium carrier," he said. "But we wouldn't do it unless we felt we could make money with it. ... This is a top-end market. There is demand here."

Etihad is the smallest of three rapidly expanding, government-backed Gulf carriers redrawing global aviation maps by funneling travelers through their desert hubs.

Its base in the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi, this year became the first in the Mideast to open a U.S. preclearance facility staffed by American customs and border officials. U.S. pilots and members of Congress have criticized the facility, which is largely funded by the UAE, alleging it puts American carriers at a disadvantage.

Since starting operations in 2003, Etihad has built a fleet of 96 planes. It carried 11.5 million passengers and posted a profit of $62 million last year.

It has ordered more than 220 additional planes, including 10 Airbus A380s and 71 Boeing 787s being outfitted with new interiors introduced Sunday.

Among the promised amenities for those aircraft are 11-inch seatback TV screens in economy, a "lobby" on the A380s featuring a semi-circular leather couch and bar area for first and business class passengers, and prayer areas for Muslim passengers that can be curtained off and have an electronic indicator pointing the way to Mecca.

Etihad has been aggressively building stakes in foreign carriers, including Virgin Australia and Germany's second largest airline Air Berlin. It has for months been considering buying a piece of struggling Italian carrier Alitalia. Hogan had no comment on those negotiations Sunday.

Its bigger rival Emirates, based in nearby Dubai, has offered onboard showers to first-class passengers aboard its double-decker Airbus A380s since the plane joined the fleet in 2008. It also separates coach passengers from those in business and first class on an entirely different floor in its dedicated concourse in Dubai.

Etihad's latest offering goes one step further.

One passenger - or a couple - aboard each of its new A380s will be able to book a three-section miniature suite that the airline is calling a "residence" at the very front of the plane's upper deck.

The 125-square-foot (11.61-square-meter) area includes a "living room" partitioned off from the first-class aisle that includes leather seating, chilled minibar and a 32-inch flat-screen TV. There is a separate bedroom with space for two that can be closed off from the rest of the cabin and a private bathroom with shower -- though with only about 4 minutes of water for showering.

A white-gloved personal butler trained in London will be on hand to wait on passengers in the suite, giving them what the airline promises will be "discrete personal service and attention to detail found in the world's most exclusive hotels."

Etihad expects to get its first of its A380s in December, which it will deploy on the Abu Dhabi to London route.

Additional A380s will likely be deployed on New York and Sydney routes as they're added to the fleet, Chief Commercial Officer Peter Baumgartner said.

The fancy new suite won't come cheap.

Baumgartner said it will likely cost three to four times as much as regular first-class seats, or about $21,000 from Abu Dhabi to London. One way.

BATHROOM SOLUTIONS features 50 bathroom displays, which includes showers and shower enclosures in the huge 30,000 sq ft premises, located behind B&Q, (at the end of the M55) Whitehills Business Park, Blackpool.

Showroom manager Barbara, and staff have more than 50 years’ trade experience between them in Blackpool and the Fylde area, and can offer help with design and arrange installation, if required.

“We carry around 2m worth of stock – more than any other retailer on the Fylde coast and that includes independent retailers and the national DIY chain stores,” says Barbara.

“This means that customers won’t have to wait weeks for their chosen product.

“It can be taken away same day or delivered by one of our fleet of delivery vehicles.”

The comprehensive selection of bathroom suites and associated products enables clients to customise their requirements.

“If everyone liked the same thing, we would only need to stock one style of bathroom suite,” adds Barbara.

“As it is there are infinite permutations with thousands of baths, shower cubicles, basins, etc carried in stock, so you can tailor your bathroom to suit your needs.

“Unlike other bathroom retailers we do not try to push specific mixes of products – we let you choose.

“We are just here to advise and help you to make the right choice to suit you and your budget.

Showroom

“We welcome browsers as much as buyers because once you have visited our showroom you will always remember us and hopefully return to buy when the time is right for you.”

Manufacturers from across the globe include Laufen from Austria, Rak Ceramics from the United Arab Emirates, Pura Bathrooms from the Far East and Saninova from Holland, as well as products manufactured exclusively for Bathroom Solutions in the UK.

To please the discerning customer, each bathroom display is complemented by natural stone tiles, available to purchase at Bathroom Solutions.

Other products include decorative ceiling panels, sanitary ware, taps, steam cabins, accessories, etc – it’s your one stop bathroom shop.

Established in 1986 with a small lock-up they then moved to a huge 20,000 sq ft premises, from where their better known business Classic Bathrooms still operates from.

Now with two huge outlets they give even better coverage of the Fylde coast being by far the largest bathroom retailer on the Fylde coast.

In 1986, people were looking for traditional shell-shaped bathrooms in burgundy or avocado green but now almost everyone is looking for white contemporary suites.

However, one aspect of the business remains unchanged and that is the level of service that the customer expects.

The team at Bathroom Solutions and Classic Bathrooms deliver first class customer care and most importantly after sales care.

They are very community led, having sponsored Blackpool FC’s family stand, Poulton FC, Foxhall Boys FC, Miss Blackpool and the recent trip by Quilligans FC to play in Blackpool’s German twin town’s Bottrop international tournament.

The are also suppliers of the eight large whirlpool baths fitted at Everton Football Club and suppliers to local celebrities, such as Keith Harris.
