Please submit a single Word.doc version of your manuscript that includes all tables and figures at appropriate locations. The file name should include your last (family) name and a keyword from the title of your manuscript. The file name cannot be longer than 30 characters, and should contain only letters or numbers. Do not use punctuation or symbols in the file name.
Format: For each section, the sub-title appears as BOLD CAPITAL, and subsequent titles as Bold Sentence and then, if required, Bold Italic Sentence. Text should be set in Times New Roman font, 11 point. Leave only one (1) space after periods. Start new paragraphs with an indent except for the first paragraph after a title. Do not use spaces to create indents. Use line returns only at the end of paragraphs and do put blank lines between paragraphs. Use the Symbol font for symbols and special characters. Do not use equation editors or footnoting utilities in your files. Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page. Number pages (bottom, centre). Use proper Superscripts and Subscripts, not raised or lowered text.
Title Page: The title page should include the title of the article, author's name with full first name (no degrees), and author's affiliation. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author's name. For office purposes, the title page should include the name and complete mailing address including country, and email address of the one author designated to review proofs. The title page should start below the top margin, be single-spaced, and no space left before the Abstract.
Abstract: A structured abstract of fewer than 300 words is required of research articles and reports and should be arranged, in one paragraph, under the following headings: PURPOSE, METHODS, RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS. Review articles also require an abstract, which need not be organized under these headings. The purpose of a structured abstract is to assist authors in organizing their thoughts - not only to highlight their work, but also to aid readers to grasp quickly the essence of the paper.
Novelty of the Work: Provide a brief description of not more than four short sentences regarding the novelty of the paper in the cover letter.
The Main Body of the Manuscript: This section must contain Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. Do not combine Results and Discussion unless instructed by the Editor.
Under INTRODUCTION clearly state the novelty of the work.
Ethics in Animal and Clinical Investigations: Investigations using experimental animals must adhere to the ''Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animal Care" (Canadian Council on Animal Care guidelines, 1984). All papers containing animal data must Include a statement from your university's Animal Ethics Committee approving your protocol. Investigations with human subjects must follow the Declaration of Helsinki guidelines (1964) and be approved by the institutional human experimentation committee, or equivalent, and have signed in-formed consent. Ethics Approval for Animal and Human Studies: Statement that approval has been received must be included under the METHODS Section.
Statistical Approach: The number of repeat measurements and the variance of the means must be clearly depicted in the texts and in the illustrations. Reasonable significant figures (usually three) must be used as elaborated in Levy G. Significant figures or significant nonsense? Clin Pharmacol Ther, 59:363, 1996 or Wikipedia.
The significant figures (SF) of a number is all certain digits plus the first uncertain digit. For example, if an assay has a sensitivity of 1 mg/L, a concentration of 32.32 mg/L has one extra uncertain and unnecessary figure. Hence, it should be reported as 32.3 which contains three SFs. See below for calculation of SFs: - 31 has 2 SF - 301 has 3 SFs - 0.022 has 2 SFs (leading zeros don't count - 4.300 has 4 SFs (trailing zeros after decimal point count) - 310 has 3 SFs (rounded off since a trailing zero with no decimal point is ambiguous).
For comparison among more than one mean, tests such as ANOVA must be use followed by an appropriate post hoc, e.g., Duncan's Multiple Range or Tukey's. The Student's t-test is not appropriate for such assessments neither as the main nor as the post hoc tool. Label means, numerical or graphical, with characters as shown below. In the legends insert 'Different characters indicate significant differences".
In the above example, different character indicate significant difference, and the same character means no significant difference. i.e., bars labeled 'a' are not different from each other but different from 'b', 'c' and 'd' bars. A bar may have two different characters, e.g., the last bar is not significantly different from other 'b' or 'c' bars.
Figures: Figures should be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited in the text, and designed to fit the column or page size of the Journal. All parts of a figure must be "grouped" with no segmented text box. Left justify the title below the figure (bold font). Keys to symbols should be a part of the figure, and not a part of the caption. Use the same typeface for all figures. Labels should be in title case. Figure legends should be informative and self-explanatory.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively (with Arabic numerals), referred to by number in the text and designed to fit the column or page size of the Journal. Prepare numerical illustrations (e.g., tables) using the "table" function (rows and columns). Do not make table using text functions such as tabs, spaces or lines. Hide lines except under the column headings. Left justify the title above the table (bold font). Captions should be typed separately. Table legends should be informative and self-explanatory.
Footnotes: Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so that it is set off from the text.
Abbreviations: Try to use abbreviations sparingly. When used extensively, provide a list of all non-standard abbreviations on a separate page before the reference section. Use the metric system for all measurements without periods (cm, ml, s). Define all symbols used in equations and formulas. When symbols are used extensively, include a list of all symbols in the notation section. Do not abbreviate the word "Figure" or "Table" in titles or text.
References: References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text. Cite in the text by the appropriate Arabic numeral enclosed in parentheses, e.g., (1) or (2-5), not super or sub scripted. References to unpublished personal communications should be avoided. Use ( ) for reference citation in the text. Place punctuation AFTER the reference. For each reference, use a single continuous paragraph with no extra space or line break. Do not use "add-ins" such as EndNotes. Abbreviations for journal names should conform to those in the Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors (American Chemical Society, Washington, D.C.).
*** All references musl also contain DOI code when available.
Although CSPS accepts various reference formats, the Vancouver style is preferred. Alternatively,the references should conform to the following style and punctuation:

Acknowledgments: All acknowledgments (including those for grant and financial support) should be typed in one paragraph directly preceding the reference section. Authors of manuscripts submitted to JPPS are requested to state the source of all funding that enabled the research described to be undertaken.
Manuscript Submission: Manuscripts will be received by Online Submission. Manuscripts are reviewed anonymously by independent referees. To facilitate the review process, the authors should submit supplementary material such as a cited accepted (but not published) paper, which may be required for assessment of the submitted manuscript. Careful preparation of manuscripts and subsequent review of page proofs are essential, as the authors are responsible for all statements and content.
Reviewing Process: Manuscripts will be subjected to an initial editorial review. The aim of this task of editors wil be to decide whether the manuscript is suitable for consideration for further process. At this stage, the suitability of the manuscript for the Journal's readership, the importance, novelty and scientific rigor of the manuscript are considered. If the manuscript is to be declined, the authors will receive a quick email indicating the editorial decision. Submissions that pass this stage will be assigned by the editor to a specific associate editor who through the Journal's database, or other means, will choose external reviewers.
The selection of the reviewers will be based on factors such as expertise, professional reputation, authors' recommendations and editors' own knowledge of a reviewer. The authors can exclude any associate editor or reviewer upon request. Reviewers are asked to declare any conflict of interest regarding the authors and/or the contents of the paper. This is a blinded process so that the reviewers' identities are anonymous unless she/he indicates otherwise. However, the reviewer will have access to the authors identity.
Upon receiving reviewers' reports, the associate editor will decide to accept, ask for revisions, reject, or ask for resubmission for another review. The reviewers' comments will be shared with the authors regardless of the decision. Attempts will be made to complete the process in four weeks. In addition, for manuscript with substantial language issues, may be recommended to use the service of any professional language editor. This may add to the length of time a manuscript is under review.
The final decision is made by the associate editor who will inform the authors of the outcome of the review. During the entire process, the authors will have access to the manuscript's review page that will clearly indicate the status of the submission. Any request for appeal or reconsideration should be directed to the editor-in-chief who will decide regarding grounds for such a requests, and/or process involved.
Upon acceptance, the manuscript will be formatted and galley will be sent to the author for proof-reading. The proof-read formatted manuscript will be posted as soon as it goes through a final inspection. Manuscripts will be assigned to an issue which, upon closure, will be reported to PubMed for listing.
Manscripts will be subjected to active plagiarism screening during the reviewing process.

I went to my bed and cried. I didn't really care if my family hated me. I wanted them DEAD more than anything in this hell whole of a world that I live in. I went to bed with tears in my eyes. I woke up to my mom screaming my name like she usually does, but this time it was because she was screaming for help. I got out of my bed and went out of my room. "JAZ HELP!" My mom screamed.
I went down the stairs to see what was going on and I saw my dad dead on the floor with his stomach open. My mom pulled me to her scared. "Mom why are u scared that dad is dead?" I asked calmer then I have ever been talking to her. She looked at me with concern. "He's your father!" My mom yelled in my face. Then we both heard a voice say, "Don't talk to your daughter like that." I smiled at the voice and just stood there waiting to get slapped by my mom.
I then see that my mom is on the floor dead and her insides gone. I just shrugged and walked away. Then the only person that I wanted dead the most was my little brother. He came down stairs and saw that both our mom and dad were dead. He looked at me scared. I hear the voice again but whispered in my ear, "Kill your little brother." I smiled at the thought of killing him myself. I grabbed my knife that I always have on me and I slit my brother's throat.
Then the person that spoke took my hand and made me face it. It was eyeless jack my favorite creepypasta. I smiled at the sight of seeing him. "Hello Jaz." He said with a low kinda raspy voice. "Hello jack." I said without being afraid.
Jack pulled his mask off and smiled at me. I then smiled back even tho he couldn't see that I smiled. Then I heard the police and Jack took my hand. We went out of the back door and into the woods. We met Slenderman. "So this is the girl?" He said with a deep and kind of scary voice. Jack nodded and forgot that he didn't have his mask on. I smiled and put it on for him. Then we followed Slenderman to the mansion that I would be staying at.
First off I'll adress some plot holes.
Who called the police, exactly? I seem to remember the father being dead, the mother calling for her daughter,and the brother coming downstairs only to be killed. Did a ghost call them? Also, what made Jaz so dead inside that she wouldn't react to the sight of a human body (regardless of whether she disliked the person or not)?
I guess she's spent so much time on Tumblr that she's become numb to all sort of things. Including seeing multiple dead bodies.
So she has Tourette's Syndrome. So she's bullied. I have a friend with Tourette's who is bullied and he doesn't kill people so I guess he must be an anomaly.
You know what I really love? That a murderer thought, "Wow, this edgy girl has so much potential! She has a disorder? Check! She's the perfect person to become a new Creepypasta!" As if.
Of course, we also have to take in the fact that all these Creepypasta OCs end up at the "Slender Mansion", so are we to assume they all live in the same place? Is there one state filled with "psychopathic" (for an actual psychopath, look up the Golden State Killer. Wow, notice how different your OC is from an actual murderer?) 13-year-olds? Or does the mansion just teleport? These stories are just the same old garbage manufactured in a ridiculous quantity.
Anyhow, I still find it hilarious to read. Bye!
No description what so ever, again. You need true detail on what would lead your main character into true homicidal rage. True abuse, bullying, what caused her rage-it needs to be sensical. Deep, dark, demented. To truely have homicidal tendencies comes from years of true living hell, and most even don't act on it even then. The bullying details? Parental abuse details? Emotion? Verbal? Mental? Physical? Sexual? And what did the little brother do to have her rage towards him? Nothing but be afraid of her (based on part 1). Think more in depth.

There will inevitably be a line, but the brunch is well worth the wait! Not in the mood for brunch food? Get the tuna salad, which is always available. So simple, yet so delicious.
Go for the vibrant cocktails and equally exciting décor and stay for the delicious food. The gluten-free cecinas are not to be missed!
Tucked away on a cute alley-way on the lower east side is this haven of fantastic cocktails and comfort food all set in what feels like a barn.
They don't take reservations, but the pizza is worth the wait! While the "Classic" is known for its age-old family recipe, the star is really the Pizza with Vodka Sauce. I was skeptical because I don't even really like penne a la vodka, but there's something about the combination that works! And if you go for brunch, the smoked salmon pizza will not disappoint!

Best (and biggest) cookies in Manhattan. Call your order in before you get there and bypass the long line out the front door. These cookies are Instagram famous!
One of the best brunches in Manhattan—they have several restaurants in the city. They have the best gluten free menu, ever! The owner's sister has Celiac so he's incredibly conscious of the ingredients. When you go, ask for Jonah, the owner—and Emily's cousin!
The quintessential NYC brunch full of bagels stacked tall and towers of thinly sliced fish and mouth-watering bagel spreads. Make a reservation well in advance. Not to be missed!
Emily's favorite bagel spot in NYC. They have several locations, but the best one is on 8th Ave, one block from her old apartment in West Chelsea.

The best soup dumplings in Chinatown!
The best ramen joint in Brooklyn. Check them out on Instagram…and take a look at their unique seating options. So cool!!!

A tourist trap, but what a view!
A huge tourist trap but you must see it once in your life. Don't spend too much time here.
You could spend the entire day at this museum!
A beautiful collection of art.
Emily's favorite way to see a city! Wear your helmet. The driver's in NYC are insane!
A fun local food shopping experience.

KUMACA Blues: "We Are Equal to The Task" ―GHS Boss
Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare, Director General of the Ghana Health Service
The Director General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare, has debunked claims by some experts that health regulators were not taking pragmatic measures to help curb the deadly bacterial infection which has claimed at least 13 lives at the Kumasi Academy (KUMACA).
According to him, those throwing fiery darts at the Ministry of health (MOH) and GHS were speaking from uninformed intuition.
Dr Nsiah-Asare said, the MOH together with the GHS have been working tirelessly to contain the situation after the first incidence was recorded in April.
In an interview with Starfm on Thursday morning, the GHS Director said, "I don't know the bases he is using to say that. I don't think he knows the time that we were there, the time the first patient died and what we have done so far."
He continued: "we are doing mass antibiotic administration. We took advantage of it because patients who had the symptoms were in the hospital…most of the students had come in contact with the other patients that is why we have started the azithromycin therapy."
"We are not overwhelmed, and we are very much on the ground. We are equal to the task," Dr Nsiah-Asare added.
Situational Report on KUMACA
Reports have it that the situation is under control as the three-day medication programme came to an end yesterday with no fresh so cases recorded.
About eight patients were still on admission and most of the students had been discharged.
Spiritual connections
Various spiritual heads have however refused to overrule the possibility of a spiritual connection to the incident as school authorities including teachers, students and parents converged at the school's Assembly Hall to seek God's intervention.
The Otumfuo Sunkwaahene and his subjects are expected to have stormed the school last night, to perform the needed rituals that would avert the said "evil".
The health crisis in KUMACA had generated public outcry after students of KUMACA in the Ashanti Region were rushed to the hospital after they collapsed on campus with some eventually losing their lives.

Salt Bae featured in DJ Khaled's New Music Video
Were Salt Bae and DJ Khaled cooking something behind the scenes?
By Fatima Ahmed	 On Jun 12, 2019
The famous Instagram celebrity chef Salt Bae and music producer DJ Khaled had seemed to have something rolling for us behind the scenes. The two had been spotted partying and posting together on social media for quite some time. In fact, Salt Bae was also spotted on the music producer's birthday along with celebrities like Snoop Dog and Diddy.
The Two Appeared in a Music Video Together
But something was really cooking in the background while all of the bonding was taking place. The two had been on an upcoming project. Four months ago Salt Bae posted a video with DJ Khaled where the latter spilled out that the two had been working on 'anotha' project.
On May 18, DJ Khaled dropped his You Stay which featured Meek Mill, J Balvin, Lil Baby, Jeremih and of course, our Instagram's all-time favorite chef Salt Bae.
The music video was a part of his album Father of Asahd. Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, performs his classic move in the video-sprinkling the salt. At one point, he also cuts a slice of beet and puts it directly in DJ Khaled's mouth.
More About The Music Video
The video is a specific kind of niche in its own – it features a life of luxury like all DJ Khaled videos vibe out to be. The video has people smoking cigars in a mansion in some of the most expensive attire around a pool. In fact, the whole album has some form of glamour associated with it. Wish Wish features Cardi B, who can be seen twirling around in flames with a bike.

DJ Khaled also later took on SNL to perform his songs from the album.

Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid. It is essential for children and for those with rare genetic conditions which prevent its synthesis. Some conditions of stress increase one's need for arginine such as trauma, sepsis, and burns; arginine becomes essential under these conditions.. . Arginine has antiatherogenic, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory action.
The following is a list of the primary uses for arginine .
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD): Arginine functions to dilate blood vessels by increasing the production of an important vasodilator called nitric oxide (NO). Many clinical trials have shown improvements in blood flow through the arteries, increased quality of life, and increased ability to exercise with supplementation with arginine for the treatment of angina. Other studies have shown positive results when treating hypertension and congestive heart failure.
Erectile Dysfunction: The pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED) is complex and multifactorial. One factor which may contribute to ED is an issue with penile endothelial arginine. A number of studies have shown benefit with arginine in terms of decreased time to get an erection and increased duration of erection.
Male Infertility: Some trials have shown benefit in terms of increased sperm count and motility leading to more successful pregnancies.
Athletic Performance: In some individuals, Arginine has an anabolic effect, specifically it increases growth hormone and tissue growth. In this way, it can increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat, thus increasing one's athletic performance.
L-arginine is available in tablet, capsule, and powder form as L-arginine hydrochloride and free base L-arginine. It is also available in medical foods as an aid in the enhancement of immune function.
An RDA has not been established for Arginine. To determine what your specific requirements are talk to your naturopathic doctor or other trained medical professional.
General Adverse Effects: mild gastrointestinal distress, headache; excessive doses may cause diarrhea; rapid IV infusion may cause flushing.
Adults: Dosages of 1-6g/day are generally well tolerated by adults. Adverse effects only occur in about 1-10% of patients. More severe reactions occur after IV administration.
Contraindications: herpes infections or history of herpes (can potentially cause an outbreak or replication of the virus); post-acute myocardial infarction (except under medical supervision); hepatic or renal failure (except under medical supervision); hypersensitivity to arginine.
Cyclosporine - Arginine may reduce drug-induced adverse effects such as vascular dysfunction and nephrotoxicity. Close supervision.
Sildenafil and Related Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors - Nitric oxide (NO) enables therapeutic action of drug, which may be enhanced by arginine intake (arginine is a precursor to NO).
Theophylline/Aminophylline - Preliminary evidence indicates that theophylline or aminophylline could theoretically create a beneficially additive or synergistic effect by reducing arginase activity and increasing arginine's availability to be converted to NO.

Learn about the different characteristics of fossil fuels and alternative energy sources.
Fossil fuels developed when bits of plants and animals were subjected to extreme heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over millions of years. This natural process converted the organic matter into carbon-rich substances like petroleum, coal, and natural gas, which, when burned, generate energy. Fossil fuels have powered industrialization, which has improved standards of living around the world, but using these "dirty" energy sources continues to come at a heavy cost to the environment. Plus, there is only a finite amount of these resources on Earth.
Forms of energy not derived from fossil fuels include both renewable and alternative energy, terms which are sometimes used interchangeably. Alternative energy refers to any energy that isn't fossil fuels, but does not necessarily come from a renewable source. For example, nuclear power, or energy harnessed from nuclear reactions, most commonly uses uranium, an abundant but not technically renewable fuel. Renewable energy, on the other hand, includes sources like sunlight and wind that occur naturally and continuously, though they must be harnessed and converted for use by humans. Although not completely without negative environmental impacts, renewable and alternative energy sources are often categorized as "clean energy" due to the significantly fewer carbon emissions they produce when compared to fossil fuels. Despite the environmental benefits, renewable and alternative energy sources can have their own drawbacks, though often not on the same scale as fossil fuels.

Collaborations Help Five Craft Breweries Celebrate 25 Years
By CBN on	 December 21, 2012 Hot News
Twenty-five years ago marked a seminal time for the budding craft brewing industry in the United States. Deschutes Brewery is working with four other craft breweries founded in 1988 (North Coast Brewing Co., Rogue Brewery, Goose Island Beer Co. and Great Lakes Brewing Co.) to create a selection of commemorative beers to celebrate their shared 25th anniversary.
Each of the breweries participating in the project will brew its own version of the recipe they collaboratively come with. The respective beers will have a common heritage and ingredients with the brewers working together to brew the beer that will ultimately end up in your glass.
Deschutes Brewery will partner with the following breweries for the limited Class of '88 series beers:
North Coast Brewing Company (Ft. Bragg, California) & Rogue Ales (Newport, Oregon)
Beer Style: Barley Wine
Planned Release Date: March 2013
In the same year these breweries were born, renowned beer connoisseur Fred Eckhardt published The Essentials of Beer Style which included a barley wine style guideline which will provide the basis for this collaboration. All three versions of the barley wines that will result from this unique collaboration will be packaged in 22-ounce and 750 ml bottles, plus draft.
Great Lakes Brewing Company (Cleveland, Ohio)
Beer Style: Smoked Imperial Porter
Planned Release Date: May 2013
Building on a history of great porters –
Great Lakes Brewing Company's Edmund Fitzgerald and Deschutes Brewery's Black Butte Porter – this Smoked Imperial Porter promises to be exceptional. Both beer versions will be available for a limited time in 22-ounce bottles and draft.
Goose Island Beer Company (Chicago, Illinois)
Beer Style: Belgian-Style Strong Golden Ale
Planned Release Date: Q4 2013
Brewers and owners are still working out the details on this beer, which they plan to brew with Riesling juice and Pinot Noir grapes. It will be aged in barrels that previously held Muscat wine in them for ten years. Again, each brewery will produce its own version of the brew in bottles and draft.
Gary Fish, owner and founder of Deschutes Brewery said, "I'm very excited about all the Class of '88 offerings. I have known personally most all of the principals involved with these breweries for a long time and each them has made substantial and substantive contributions to the world of craft beer in their 25 year history. Although these companies have taken different paths, all have distinguished themselves through the beers they produce and the way they have taken care of their communities and their brands."
Founded in 1988 as a brew pub in downtown Bend, Deschutes Brewery is known for such brands as Black Butte Porter, its flagship brew and the nation's number one selling craft porter, and the popular Mirror Pond Pale Ale. In addition to its original Bend pub, the brewery opened a second pub in Portland's Pearl District in 2008. The company's main brewing facility is located in Bend's Old Mill District and produces approximately 250,000 barrels of beer annually for distribution in 19 states and two provinces.

As a general contractor Strauser Construction Co. joins the project team near the completion of the design phases through a negotiated contract or bid basis. Once selected as the general contractor, Strauser Construction Co. becomes involved in all construction related aspects of the project including scheduling, coordination, site supervision, self-performance of critical trades, and selection/utilization of subcontractors as required to complete a particular aspect of the project.
An advantage that Strauser Construction Co. has over many general contractors and construction managers is our ability to self-perform concrete and carpentry work on projects with our own employees. This skill allows us to add value for the Owner and has provided us with a greater knowledge of how to schedule and construct the best buildings. By self-performing critical tasks such as structural concrete, metal stud and wood framing, interior finishes such as drywall, acoustical ceilings, doors and finish carpentry we are better able to control schedule, cost and quality on the project.
When combining this ability to self-perform vital tasks, quality field supervision, and an office staff skilled in scheduling and cost estimating, Strauser Construction Co. consistently produces projects that are of the highest quality, on-schedule and on-budget.


Tuning up your HVAC systems during the spring and fall can help your home become more energy efficient during the intense temperature months of winter and summer. In addition to the energy savings options that can become available, with a well maintained system, you and your loved ones can enjoy additional peace of mind with the improved air quality within your home. Our company offers a wide variety of different San Antonio heating and air conditioning services, each of which can help you work with your HVAC system to establish a better quality of indoor air.
In order to get the most from your air conditioner, it is highly recommended that you have it inspected by licensed professionals. We will be able to work with your air conditioner and help you increase its longevity and ensure that it does not break down unexpectedly. Studies show that built up dirt and poor maintenance habits are the top causes for HVAC system failures, and the first step to avoiding unwanted problems is with proper maintenance by professional HVAC technicians.
In San Antonio, the cooling system gets all the attention, but you should not forget your heating system in the winter. By performing Fall and Spring HVAC tune-ups, your HVAC system will maintain utmost energy efficiency and prevent equipment failures.
Regular heating and air conditioning tune-ups are usually required by air conditioning manufacturers for their warranty.
It is very important to have a relationship with a heating and air conditioning contractor that you trust before you need one in an emergency.
San Antonio City Public Service recommends having a licensed professional contractor clean the air conditioner in the summer and perform regular maintenance on the furnace during the fall - every year. San Antonio CPS states maintenance will help keep your utility bill low and can reduce the number of breakdowns.
The EPA Says: Dirt and neglect are the #1 causes of heating and air conditioning system failures. One of the most important steps you can take to prevent future problems with your air conditioner and unwanted costs is proper maintenance.
Cleaning or replacing the air conditioning filter about once a month.
Having a contractor do annual pre-season check-ups on your air conditioner and furnace.
If you need your air conditioning unit repaired or replaced, our highly skilled and knowledgeable team of technicians will be able to troubleshoot your system and help you get your air conditioner back in working form. We are prepared to give you the best options in terms of quality and cost for whatever repairs are needed. If you need a replacement done as well, we will be more than happy to inspect your home or business to help determine what is best for your unique situation.
In San Antonio, your air conditioning system is most likely the most important part of your house in the summer. We service the greater San Antonio area, including Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Olmos Park, Shavano Park, The Dominion, Stone Oak, Sonterra, Helotes, Castle Hills, and Leon Valley for all your HVAC needs.
Our heating and air conditioning technicians are highly skilled and know how to correctly troubleshoot your HVAC system. They aren't paid commissions, so your best interests are their only motivation. All of our technicians have 15+ years air conditioning experience in the San Antonio area.
If a major repair of your air conditioner is needed, we will give you all of the available options so that you can decide whether it is in your best interest to repair or replace the HVAC equipment.
If your ac system is in need of replacement, or if it is inefficient and you want to replace it before something happens, we will be happy to give you an estimate on a new, energy efficient HVAC system. In San Antonio, air conditioning equipment accounts for over 50% of the energy usage in your home.
There are some basic guidelines that will help you make your decision on repairing or replacing your heating and ac equipment.
If the HVAC system is over 10 years old. Due to recent advances in HVAC technology, heaters, furnaces and air conditioners older than 10 years should be replaced at the first major component failure (evaporator coil, compressor, or furnace heat exchanger).
If the HVAC system is out of warranty and a major component fails. Older air conditioners and furnaces did not have the warranty coverage that newer units have. Newer heating and air conditioning units have a 10 year parts warranty ( if registered) and some have a life time heat exchanger warranty ( if registered).
If you are concerned with electric usage and bills, and your HVAC system was installed before 2007. Most of the high efficiency air conditioning systems we offer have more than twice the efficiency of ac units installed before 2007. We offer many energy efficient options that qualify for the San Antonio CPS rebate program and the federal 25C Tax Credit.
The air conditioning system still has manufacturer's warranty. The only reasons to replace an air conditioning system before the warranty expiration are, if you want to increase energy efficiency or if the warranty allows for a credit on a new system and you are near expiration.
If your HVAC system is operating correctly and the energy usage is not excessive.
If you have more than one San Antonio air conditioning company come out to your house, you will notice how much longer we take than other companies gathering information examining your home and your existing system. It's important for us to look at your duct system, your existing electrical and wiring and any other problems that might exist.
You always have the right to choose what repairs are made on your home. We just think you should know about all of the problems, not just the ones that are most profitable to your HVAC contractor. An ac system can only be efficient and perform the way it was designed to, if it is installed properly.
In addition to the maintenance and repair services that we offer, we can help you efficiently seal your ducts in order to save money on your utility bills. This process is a very important step in the energy efficiency process. Estimates show that the average household in San Antonio will lose upwards of twenty percent of the air that flows through the duct system due to leakage. Our licensed professionals can help you evaluate the state of your existing system while identifying the areas that will need to be sealed in order to prevent air from escaping.
Air duct sealing is an important step in energy efficiency.
The average home in San Antonio loses 20% of the air that moves through the duct system to leakage. We can evaluate the existing duct work to identify the areas conditioned air is escaping.
We use a thermal imager to scan the entire system. Areas of defect invisible to the naked eye stand out with the latest technology.
People working in your attic can crush or knock loose ducts.
Rodents can chew holes in the duct.
The duct may not have been properly sealing during initial installation.
All of these issues can be corrected by our trained air duct repair technicians and installers.
Many homes suffer from poor indoor air quality. The usual culprit is unsealed return air chases and unsealed duct work. If the return air is not sealed well, it will pull hot, dirty attic air into your air conditioning system. The worst issue with this is that the attic air is mixed with the conditioned air after the filter. Adding high MERV filters ( MERV is the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Standard used to measure the effectiveness of filters, full definition here ) only makes the problem worse. Air will travel the path of least resistance. The high MERV filter offers much more resistance than the open path to the attic.
The duct work shown on the left is installed in the correct manner. Notice the white ring of mastic that seals the area where the flexible duct meets the duct board mixing box. The duct in the top right area is securely strapped up so there are no kinks that would reduce air flow. The picture on the right shows a return air chase that is open to the attic. Insulation and debris has fallen from the attic to the bottom of the chase.
Whether you plan on building your dream home or make your existing one more comfortable, we are dedicated to providing services that can help your HVAC system adapt to your needs. More often than not, custom homes will feature basic air conditioning units that do not provide many customizable options for the homeowner. We are capable of providing advanced and efficient systems that will provide for you the level of comfort that you deserve.
Whether you are building a new dream home or adding on to your existing home, we can adapt to your specific needs. We offer HVAC construction services that are performed by highly trained and certified professionals.
Too often new "custom homes" have the most basic, economy or "builder's line" heating and air conditioning systems installed without any options given to the homeowner. These systems are designed based on general rules or averages without any input by the homeowner about specific usages of rooms, temperature preferences, humidity levels or air quality requirements.
We believe the most important feature of a home is that it be a place where you feel comfortable. We know not having hot water can certainly affect your comfort level but we think its a close second when it comes to discomfort in your home. The quality of your heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems and how well they were installed directly affects the temperature, humidity and air quality within a home. This is an investment that affects your comfort levels within a house in addition to your utility and possibly medical bills.
In order to keep your heating system running efficiently during winter, it's highly recommended to perform on-going maintenance on your system. This allows the system to run at maximum capacity without the worry of it breaking down in the middle of winter when you need it most. We also offer repair and installation services of heaters. When your heater breaks, our experts are there to diagnose and repair the issue. If it's needed to replace or install a brand new heater, we provide products and services that are tailored to your individual needs.
During the coldest months of winter, your HVAC system will have to work harder in order to help your home maintain a comfortable temperature. However, what many people do not realize is that as the systems work harder, they must also be better maintained in order to ensure that they continue to perform as they should. At Clean Air Heating & Air Conditioning, we can provide you with a wide variety of products and services to ensure that you have everything you need to keep your home comfortable and clean.
No matter the type of heating system that you are interested in, looking through our diverse range of products can help you better equip your home for colder weather. Our trained specialists can provide a wide variety of heating installation services for your home, no matter what system you would like to install. We guarantee that all systems installed will be ready to work promptly, and we specialize in a wide variety of different types of installations, including Carrier's heating systems, Bosch's geothermal heat pumps, Lennox's heating systems, Mitsubishi's ductless heating, and Trane's heating services.
Sometimes, no matter how carefully you maintain your system, it may still break down and be in need of servicing. What many people do not realize, however, is that all it takes for one small part in the system to break down to cause the rest of the unit to malfunction. We provide immediate and efficient heater repair, focusing on providing our customers with the best estimates for the parts that will be needed in order to have the system up and running in no time at all. We understand how important it is to maintain a comfortable level of heat in your home, and all of our repairs are done with our customers in mind.
In addition to the installation and repair services that we provide, our company can help you maintain your system so that you do not have to worry about having unexpected repairs. A poorly functioning system will not only negatively impact your utilities bill, but also your health and the health of your family. If the system does not work as it should, it will recirculate stale air into the home over and over again. Most experts agree, having your heating system inspected by professional technicians is highly recommended. Our professionals will also answer any questions on the maintenance procedures that you can perform yourself to help extend the life of your unit.
How clean the air is circulating indoors directly refers to indoor air quality. Ensuring that the air within a home or any other living space is clean and free of contaminates is not just a luxury, it is a way to be proactive on your overall quality of health by ridding the circulating air of contaminates that can cause you to become sick or adversely affect your health. Home comfort is not only temperature or climate control, it is also applying indoor air quality solutions.
Once an assessment of the overall indoor air quality has been made, the air quality solutions or improvement can begin, this includes many steps that will leave the air quality nearly perfect.
After Testing Indoor Air Quality, we help you to fight back against dirt and polluted air, and prevent the allergies with our premiere Indoor Air Quality Solutions.

Bethany Beach residents make their recommendations for election: Letters
Get involved in council, you'll be surprised
From the current crop of candidates running for the council, the only one that I've seen that has the most common sense is Lew Killmer.
In my dealing with the council, he seems to be the one that understands that most people can do for themselves and it's government's job to have as little effect in their constituents lives as possible.
He was the only councilman to not sell out to Tempe Steen and the Steen family and oppose the useless canopy ban on Bethany Beach. He realized from the first that the council was solving a problem that didn't exist and that it is a total money grab for the Steen Corp.
And that brings us to the non-endorsement of Rosemary Hardiman. This is a woman who became friends with our vacationing family (of 65) and assured us that she would be an advocate for us to continue to allow responsible people to continue to use canopies for sun protection.
To that end she asked if she could photograph our set-up to use as an example of how to use canopies as to not disturb other beachgoers.
Little did we know that she would use the pictures she took to do just the opposite. At council meeting, I witnessed the pictures that she took of our family being used to call for the ban of canopies. Under that veneer of sweetness, she is a dishonest, misleading and conniving person.
I encourage everybody to get involved with that council. You will be surprised with what you find.
— Ron Ruest, Bethany Beach

Council members have kept Bethany on right track
The coming election in Bethany Beach is, as always, an important one. The Town Council has been an effective and resourceful one for quite a few years.
There have been years where there were no elections. That reflected the fact that the council did a good job and most people were happy with what they saw and heard in our town.
Many projects have been undertaken in the past few years: The new water tower, town park, town museum, Garfield Parkway, the new hotel, Atlantic Avenue, and the purchase of a new parking lot.
These projects will be completed in the new few years and the only one that required financing was the water tower. That was a 20-year loan that will be paid of in 12 years at a very low interest rate. We are fiscally sound.
I was a member of Town Council for 14 years before I retired. I know how important it is to have people who work and vote for what is best for the town.
The current council has accomplished much and the members running deserve to be re-elected. They have worked hard and put in the time and effort that has helped make Bethany Beach the best run town on the Delaware coast.
Faith Denault will make a bright and solid addition for the seat vacated by the soon-to-be former Mayor Jack Gordon. She has served with distinction on many town committees over the years.
So, to keep Bethany Beach going in the right direction, vote for Lew Killmer, Rosemary Hardiman, Bruce Frye and Faith Denault on election day.
— Jerry and Cherie Dorfman, Bethany Beach
Faith Denault has proven record
Having held the position of Bethany Beach entertainment director for 13 years, I have a special inside perspective on how our town operates. With that experience in mind, I'm excited to endorse Faith Denault for Bethany Beach Town Council.
As a Bethany Beach resident since 2000, Faith Denault has a proven record of leadership in our community. Faith takes her varied volunteer leadership roles as a serious commitment and she devotes nothing but an A-plus effort to all her endeavors.
Faith has served as president of the Friends of South Coastal Library and chair of the Cottage Tour fundraiser. This event involves a year-long preparatory effort and it requires special inspiration and dedication to motivate hundreds of volunteers to offer their time and talents. In this role, Faith brought out the best in folks.
Bethany Beach has been the recipient of Faith's management skills through her volunteer positions on town committees. She has served with dedication and distinction on the town's Seaside Craft Show event and its Election Board. She also served on the board of advisors of the Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation.
The main message I hope to impart to my fellow town voters is that Faith Denault is a proven talented leader: generously giving her own time and inspiring others to donate their time and talents.
We would be fortunate to have Faith bring her open-minded way of listening to ideas and comments to the Town Council, all the while constantly working to achieve consensus among differing points of view.
— Gloria Farrar, Bethany Beach
Outgoing mayor backs incumbents, Denault
I have had the honor of being on the Bethany Beach Town Council for the last 10 years, with the last four and a half years as mayor.
During that time, I was fortunate to serve with a competent, cohesive and hard working group of council members who have always been guided by working for the best interests of Bethany Beach.
On Sept. 8, there will be an election in Bethany to fill four town council seats.
I recommend that the three incumbents — Bruce Frye, Rosemary Hardiman and Lew Killmer — be re-elected to their council positions. They have done an excellent job of guiding the town's progress in the past, and I know they will continue to do that in the future.
I wholeheartedly recommend that, in addition to voting for the three incumbents, you vote for Faith Denault, who is an excellent choice for the fourth council position to be filled.
She has lived in the area since 2000 after retiring from a large corporation. Her background from the corporate world includes serving as vice president for real estate, facilities and business services, being responsible for large budgets, and leading 93 full-time employees.
Since retiring to Bethany, Faith has served as president of the Friends of the South Coastal Library and as Chairperson of the Beach and Bay Cottage Tour, the library's largest fundraising project.
She is currently on the Bethany Beach Planning and Zoning Commission and has been a member of Bethany's Election Board, the Sea Side Craft Show Committee, and the advisory board for the Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation for the Bethany-Fenwick Chamber of Commerce.
Denault's valuable experience in the corporate world and her volunteer contributions to making Bethany Beach and the surrounding area a better place in which to live make her an excellent choice to be on the Bethany Beach Town Council.
Please vote for Faith Denault in the upcoming Bethany Town Council election.
— Jack Gordon, Bethany Beach
Cast your votes for cleaner Sussex County water
The poor condition of Delaware's waters has been known for decades. The facts are simple to understand, however, difficult to accept.
We cannot eat the fish and crabs from our waters. We get sick from swimming in our waters. Ninety percent of Delaware's waterways are polluted, 100 miles of Delaware's waters have fish advisories. Delaware is ranked second in the nation in incidence rate of cancer.
The drinking water of several communities including Ellendale, Blades and Millsboro have been contaminated and unusable. Poultry processor Allen-Harim's plans to spray wastewater in an area of Milton already compromised by polluting activities could have a devastating effect, magnitudes greater than any experienced to date.
Our elected officials and government agencies, specifically the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, and Sussex County Board of Adjusters have been far too amenable to the primary polluters.
Fines are not collected and permits are granted without adequate study on impacts on our water and air.
The problems will only become more frequent, the consequences direr, and the negative attention given to our county more widespread if bold action is not taken immediately.
We have a lot at stake. Our county is on verge of being the next Flint, Michigan, threatening our health, tourist industry and property values.
It is time for our elected and appointed officials to muster the courage to take appropriate action. We need our legislatures to have the courage to collect fines from and deny permits to polluters.
It requires courage to admit that we need to raise funds to save our beautiful state from further devastating effects of pollution.
As important, it will require talent to generate public support for the programs that are needed. Leaders should use their platform to inform us as to what is needed to remedy the polluted waters of Sussex County. Avoiding confrontation and debate is easy. It takes a courageous leader to guide us toward unpopular, but correct choices.
Courage is also required of us, the residents of Delaware, to take a stand and insist on clean air and water for all future generations. We tend to expect courage too readily from the powerful and then too eager to wrap ourselves in cynicism when they let us down because they weren't perfect.
We need to make sure our legislatures know we expect. Call their offices, write them letters, attend hearings and speak up, write letters to the editor. In this election season, vote for courage, vote for talent, vote for character, and vote for a clean Sussex County.
— Tom Brett, Millsboro
Coastal property owners should pay more for replenishment
While I agree with Bethany Beach Mayor Jack Gordon that beach replenishment is essential to the local economy, I believe that it would be fairer to require those property owners along the ocean to shoulder a greater share of the cost, since it is their property being protected.
Many oceanfront property owners have historically paid what most of us would consider an unfairly low amount in taxes, in a county where the real estate taxes, minus the school portion sent to Dover, are ridiculously low already.
Why not assess these property owners a replenishment fee?
Given the continued rise in the sea level, these properties will likely become uninhabitable in the future; until then the taxpayers who are not directly affected should not be asked to essentially pay 100 percent of the cost.
— Bernie Fensterwald, Dagsboro and Dunedin, Florida

The purpose of the investigation was to establish the ground conditions underlying the site; investigate the nature and depth of the of the existing foundations; to assess the need for and type of new foundations and to install gas and groundwater monitoring equipment in selected boreholes. all with a view to refurbish and redevelop the Gallery.
It is proposed to refurbish and redevelop the Gallery requiring repair and/or strengthening of the structure, demolition of the north office extension building, extension of the existing basement and construction of a new extension and foundations, demolition of areas of existing roof to allow for construction of a new storey over the main gallery building footprint and associated wall.


This ice cream van livery, directed particularly at its young clientele, is great fun! We just love the black and white cow graphics with the face on the front, the mouth and tongue decorating the radiator grille, not to mention the cow's tail across the rear. A novel way to promote the company's delicious ice cream! The Mercedes van is registered DK08 YFR and a tooling modification sees the inclusion of ice cream cones mounted to the front of the roof. Inside, the front of the van is black and the rear moulded in white.

How Unclean Was My Valley
https://www.steynonline.com/8739/how-unclean-was-my-valley
As more information about last week's Danforth Ave. shooting in Toronto comes to light, the entire episode becomes less surprising.
The shooter who killed two girls and injured 13 others was, as we noted last week, another member of what Mark calls the Amalgamated Union of Known Wolves.
Faisal Hussain's brother had ties to the Thorncliffe Park Kings, a street gang headquartered in the neighborbood with an 80 per cent Muslim population. That same brother once lived at a house where police recovered 33 guns and 42 kilograms of carfentanil. Carfentanil is a powerful street drug, but also has the potential to be used as a chemical weapon.
Hussain himself previously threatened to cut his building security guard's throat, the guard told the Toronto Sun.
His family prayed at a mosque that'll surely be familiar to longtime readers. The Hussain family went to the Masjid Dar-us Salaam, the mosque that served as the force behind the infamous "mosqueteria" at the nearby Valley Park Middle School in Toronto, where, every Friday, the cafeteria played host to sharia-compliant Islamic prayers.
Here's what Mark had to say in The [Un]documented Mark Steyn about the mosqueteria when its existence was first broken by blogger Blazingcatfur.
Take a look at this photograph. It appeared in The Toronto Star's education section on Saturday:
It's the scene every Friday at the cafeteria of Valley Park Middle School in Toronto. That's not a private academy, it's a public school funded by taxpayers. And yet, oddly enough, what's going on is a prayer service – oh, relax, it's not Anglican or anything improper like that; it's Muslim Friday prayers, and the Toronto District School Board says don't worry, it's just for convenience: They put the cafeteria at the local imams' disposal because otherwise the kids would have to troop off to the local mosque and then they'd be late for Lesbian History class or whatever subject is scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The picture is taken from the back of the cafeteria. In the distance are the boys. They're male, so they get to sit up front at prayers. Behind them are the girls. They're female, so they have to sit behind the boys because they're second-class citizens – not in the whole of Canada, not formally, not yet, but in the cafeteria of a middle school run by the Toronto District School Board they most certainly are.
And the third row? The ones with their backs to us in the foreground of the picture? Well, let the Star's caption writer explain:
At Valley Park Middle School, Muslim students participate in the Friday prayer service. Menstruating girls, at the very back, do not take part.
Oh. As Kathy Shaidle says:
Yep, that's part of the caption of the Toronto Star photo.
Yes, the country is Canada and the year is 2011.
Just so. Not some exotic photojournalism essay from an upcountry village in Krappistan. But a typical Friday at a middle school in the largest city in Canada. I forget which brand of tampon used to advertise itself with the pitch "Now with new [whatever] you can go horse-riding, water-ski-ing, ballet dancing, whatever you want to do", but perhaps they can just add the tag: "But not participate in Friday prayers at an Ontario public school."
Some Canadians will look at this picture and react as Miss Shaidle did, or Tasha Kheiriddin in The National Post:
Is this the Middle Ages? Have I stumbled into a time warp, where "unclean" women must be prevented from "defiling" other persons? It's bad enough that the girls at Valley Park have to enter the cafeteria from the back, while the boys enter from the front, but does the entire school have the right to know they are menstruating?
But a lot of Canadians will glance at the picture and think, "Aw, diversity, ain't it a beautiful thing?" – no different from the Sikh Mountie in Prince William's escort. And even if they read the caption and get to the bit about a Toronto public school separating menstruating girls from the rest of the student body and feel their multiculti pieties wobbling just a bit, they can no longer quite articulate on what basis they're supposed to object to it. Indeed, thanks to the likes of Ontario "Human Rights" Commission chief commissar Barbara Hall, the very words in which they might object to it have been all but criminalized.
Islam understands the reality of Commissar Hall's "social justice": You give 'em an inch, and they'll take the rest. Following a 1988 cease-and-desist court judgment against the Lord's Prayer in public school, the Ontario Education Act forbids "any person to conduct religious exercises or to provide instruction that includes religious indoctrination in a particular religion or religious belief in a school." That seems clear enough. If somebody at Valley Park stood up in the cafeteria and started in with "Our Father, which art in Heaven", the full weight of the School Board would come crashing down on them. Fortunately, Valley Park is 80-90 per cent Muslim, so there are no takers for the Lord's Prayer. And, when it comes to the prayers they do want to say, the local Islamic enforcers go ahead secure in the knowledge that the diversity pansies aren't going to do a thing about it.
Nobody would know a thing about the "mosqueteria" story were it not for the blogger Blazing Cat Fur, whom I was honoured to say a word for in Ottawa a few months back. He broke this story and then saw it get picked up without credit by the Toronto media. He does that a lot. Currently, he's featuring the thoughts of Jawed Anwar, the editor of The Muslim, a publication for Greater Toronto Area Muslims, and of Dr Bilal Philips, a "Canadian religious scholar" who was born in Jamaica but grew up in Toronto and has many prestigious degrees not only from Saudi Arabia but also from the University of Wales, where he completed a PhD in "Islamic Theology". Dr Philips is in favour of death for homosexuals and, as one Canadian to another, Mr Anwar was anxious to explain to his readers that that's nothing to get alarmed about:
Although, there is no clear-cut verse in Qur'an that categorically suggests killing of homosexuals, sayings of Prophet Muhammad suggests three types of sentences, and among that one is death. Bilal Philips is suggesting, based on his opinion on the Qur'anic/Prophetic principles of society. He is not advising the Islamic judiciary to kill any gay person they found, but what he is "suggesting" is judicial punishment of death sentence for those who confess or are seen "performing homosexual acts" by "four reliable witnesses without any doubt."
The essence of Islamic laws is to protect the life of human beings. And it happens that sometimes killing of a person can save thousands and sometimes millions of lives. The Islamic judiciary can punish a person with death sentence to save others' lives.
Okay, great, thanks. Glad you cleared that up. Two eminent "Canadian" Muslims are openly discussing the conditions under which homosexuals should be executed – and doing so in the cheerful knowledge that Commissar Hall, so determined to slap down my "Islamophobia", isn't going to do a thing about their "homophobia". She's more likely to accept a complaint from another "Canadian", Mohammad Baghery, who accuses Michael Coren of the crime of "making fun of Muslims". (Barbara Hall's incoherent thoughts can be heard here: appropriately enough, she sounds like the robot voice that instructs you to buckle your seatbelt.)
Imagine if you're a soi-disant moderate Muslim, genuinely so. You came to Canada because Yemen's a dump, and you don't want to waste your life there. And your daughter loves it, and wants to be Canadian, and be just like the other girls in her street. And then she goes to Valley Park Middle School: What if she doesn't feel it's a religious obligation to attend Friday prayers (as some Muslims argue)? Think there's much chance of being able to opt out easily at Valley Park? What if she wants to dress as she wishes to rather than as the Wahhabi/Salafist imam orders? What if she doesn't want to tell the creepy perve imam whether she's menstruating or not? What, in other words, is her chance of being able to attend Valley Park as a regular Canadian schoolgirl?
For the rest of Mark's musings on this topic and more, head on over to the SteynStore to grab a copy of The [Un]documented Mark Steyn. Also, there's no separation by gender or menstrual status on the Mark Steyn Cruise, which is rapidly booking up. Chat about this, or whatever else is on your mind with Mark, Blazingcatfur, and the other stellar guests aboard MS Rotterdam.
