Melaleuca is the other name for tea tree oil. Tea tree has been used by aborigine tribes for several thousand years for its antibacterial and disinfecting qualities. It has also been a subject of research and researchers have found that tea tree and tea tree oil have medicinal properties. Light yellow in color, with a fragrance like nutmeg, tea tree oil is produced by first steaming the leaves of the tea tree and squeezing the oil. Let's look at the tea tree benefits and tea tree uses.
Tea tree has anti-bacterial properties.
It is believed to heal quite a few tropical infections and wounds. While generally tea tree oil is applied externally, people believe that a mild concoction of tea tree oil, when consumed internally, can cure bacterial infections in the urinary system, excretory system, intestine, stomach and the colon. Tea tree oil is also used to treat tuberculosis.
Tea tree oil has anti-microbial qualities and can keep microbes that cause tropical fevers, a mile away.
With anti-septic properties, tea tree oil is used to treat wounds and can protect people from the dangers of tetanus and can prevent wounds from becoming septic. Applied to sores, wounds, boils and cuts as well as to insect bites and skin eruptions, tea tree oil can heal and prevent with its anti-septic qualities.
The tea tree essential oil has anti-viral properties. Viral bacteria can survive and flourish under extreme weathers by developing a shell around them which is called a 'cyst'. Tea tree oil can rupture these cysts and kill the viral bacteria. Thus, tea tree oil is good for treating as well as preventing infections like mumps, influenza, cold and chicken pox.
Tea tree oil has balsamic properties and is good for one's complete wellbeing. This oil helps absorb nutrients from food and can protect us from a host of diseases.
Tea tree oil has cicatrosant properties, which helps wounds heal and protects them from getting infected. This oil also prevents scars from forming after the boils or eruptions have healed.
Tea tree oil brings relief to people suffering from congestion, bronchitis, coughs and other respiratory diseases.
Battling a fungal growth? Use tea tree oil. Known for its anti-fungal properties, tea tree oil can cure fungal infections like athlete's foot, dermatitis.
You can rub tea tree oil on your body to ward off insects like mosquitoes, lice, fleas and protect yourself from itchy bites. This oil can kill worms in your body like tape worms, ring worms, hook worms.
Tea tree oil can stimulate hormones, improve circulation and can protect you against infections.

The holiday season is here, and many vendors have started ramping up their channel marketing strategies for 2019. While setting revenue and partner investment goals is important, it's equally important to think about the steps you'll take to sustain partner trust in the New Year and pursue new, mutually-rewarding business alliances.
1. Seek alliances with vendors that can help you deliver complete solutions to partners.
One buying trend that has had a huge impact on the channel this year is the shift to investing in integrated solutions instead of stand-alone technologies. Didi Dayton, VP of Worldwide Channels and Alliances at Cylance, suggests vendors capitalize on this trend by forging alliances that can help them develop unique, high-value solutions for their partners. Cylance's recent partnerships with Thycotic and Fujitsu are two examples.
2. Help forge P2P (partner-to-partner) alliances.
The value of forming alliances between seemingly unlikely collaborators extends to partners says Sara Moody, Senior Marketing Programs Manager at Veeam and Michelle Chiantera, VP of Global Channel Marketing at Cisco Systems. Both suggest vendors can make a difference for partners by helping them forge mutually-rewarding P2P alliances.
Driving P2P partnerships is also a strategy for helping partners retain "trusted advisor" status with customers says Tamara Prazak, Director of Channel Strategy & Marketing at Cyxtera Technologies. In an interview with Channel Marketing Journal while at Flexential, Prazak talks about the value of connecting partners with other partners that have the resources and skills to deliver complete solutions to line of business decision makers.
4. Join with ISVs to develop new routes to market.
The success of Ingram Micro's CloudBlue commerce platform speaks to the value ISVs can deliver helping vendors help partners find new routes to market says Renee Bergeron, Senior VP of Global Channels at Ingram Micro. Larry Walsh of the 2112 Group agrees ISVs can be a important ally in markets where value no longer resides in a single product or service.
5. When engaging with partners, tailor your language and messages to your audience — whether business, technical or sales.
In a relationship business driven by meaningful personal interactions, vendors need to know when and how to engage with partners as a business person, technical expert or sales pro. Not speaking the language of your audience is a missed opportunity says Rob Rae, VP of Business Development at backup and disaster recovery vendor, Datto.
6. Help partners keep prospects moving through the sales funnel.
Making it simple for partners to engage needs to be a priority as technology channels become more complex says May Mitchell, VP of Worldwide Field and Channel Marketing at Cylance. She recommends motivating partners to move through the sales funnel by offering easy-to-earn incentives at every stage of the customer journey.
7. Gain mindshare among systems engineers (SEs).
As trusted advisors to end-user customers, SEs have a lot of influence with channel partner sales reps say Varonis VP of Channel Operations and Strategic Accounts, Mark Wilcox. He suggests vendors can benefit from a forced multiplier effect by getting the buy-in of just one SE.
8. Help partners meet customers wherever they are on their journey to the cloud.
For customers that want to stay relevant, moving to the cloud is a question of when not if. Jon Scola and Val Haskel of SAP say this presents vendors with a valuable opportunity to help partners meet customers wherever they happen to be in their cloud journey. Vendors can start by helping partners get a firm grasp on customers' needs, and transition to the cloud with as few disruptions as possible.
9. Respond to partner feedback.
Silver Peak Systems, an SD-WAN provider featured in a recent Editor's Pick article, is easing channel friction by acting on partners' recommendations to make incentive programs more predictable as well as easier to understand and navigate. Michael O'Brien, Silver Peak VP of Worldwide Channel Sales says demonstrating the connection between what partners put into the program and what they get from it is a core component of the approach.
10. Give partners an engagement playbook.
Partners tend to work with seven primary vendors on average — putting the onus on vendors to avoid taking a myopic view of channel relationships that puts your business first. The smarter approach, according to Tina Gravel, Senior VP of Global Channels and Alliances at Cyxtera Technologies, is to give partners a playbook showing where your offerings fit into the total solution and marketplace. Education is the best place to start.
11. Get out of the office.
Attending industry events and conferences is more than just critical to your professional growth and company's visibility, it's the best way to connect with partners on a personal level and learn first hand about their top needs and challenges.
12. Adapt to a changing channel; know when to move on.
With 60% of traditional channel partner types disappearing over the next few years, it's time for vendors to view channel partnerships in a different light advises Sal Patalano, Chief Revenue Officer at Lenovo Software. These are just some of the forces disrupting relationships in the channel ecosystem and requiring vendors to adapt.
As you take your company into the New Year, what changes are you planning to make to build partner trust and pursue new, mutually-rewarding channel relationships? Channel Marketing Journal would like to hear your story. Contact us.


FRAMINGHAM, MA – JANUARY 25, 2006 – Very small offices (SO) and home-based offices (HO) are often regarded as distinct markets for the purpose of IT marketing and sales: one is part of small business, the other part of consumer. In many respects however, they are very similar, and the technology gap between the two segments will decrease in the coming years, a new IDC study reveals.
"The SOHO market continues to bridge the consumer and commercial technology space, with significant opportunity for suppliers who can deliver affordable, easy to use solutions", said Merle Sandler, senior research analyst for SMB and Home Office Market at IDC. "Whether operating inside or outside the home, SOHO customers are interested in advanced technology that can help them grow their businesses."
— SOHO firms will reach 23.1 million by the end of 2009.
— Penetration rates for cellular phones, PCs, and inkjet printers are similar and substantial for both SOHO segments.
— Monochrome laser printer ownership is higher in small offices than in home offices, but with declining prices, color laser printers will be increasingly attractive to both segments.
— LAN usage is higher among small offices than home offices, but networking use will grow significantly in both types of businesses in the coming years.
— Online small offices are more likely to have a home page than are online home offices, but home offices with a home page are more likely to be selling online.
IDC's new study, SOHO Market Overview 2006: How Similar Are Small Businesses with Fewer Than 10 Employees and Home-Based Businesses? (IDC #34776) examines the similarities and differences between SOHO firms – small offices with fewer than 10 employees (SO) and income-generating home offices (HO). The study forecasts the growth of both SOHO segments and compares their use of technologies including telecommunications, PCs, printers, LANs, Internet and ecommerce.


Now that the Opening Ceremonies have concluded and proper protocol has been set for the 2012 Olympics, it's time to sit back and see who can join this list of the most outstanding performances in my lifetime.
Jesse Owens - 4 track gold medals in ('36) while Hitler watched.
Wilma Rudolph - 3 track gold in Rome ('60). First American woman to top the podium 3 times.
Mark Spitz - 7 swimming gold in Munich ('72). Set the bar that couldn't be touched for almost twenty years.
Nadia Comaneci - 3 gymnastics gold and 5 medals overall in Montreal '76. First perfect 10 awarded in competition for uneven parallel bar routine.
Michael Phelps - In the history of swimming, the number 8 will forever be associated with Phelps run in Beijing ('08). Though there was a little bit of luck involved, he was also damn good in crushing the field in the 4IM, 2IM, 2fl and 2fr.
Matt Biondi - First swimmer in my lifetime to make a serious run at "The Spitz". Brought home 5 gold medals from Seoul ('88) and was a bad touch away from a 6th in the 100fl.
Vitaly Scherbo - Bealrusian gymnast took home 6 gold from Barcelona ('92) out of the eight events he competed in.
Natalie Coughlin - 6 medal haul in Beijing ('08) was the biggest ever for an American woman. She took gold in the backstroke, but also medaled in the free and IM.
Mary Lou Retton - In ('84) she was the 1st American gymnast I ever saw win the all-around. A feat also accomplished by Nastia Liukin in Beijing, but Mary Lou did it first and her coach, Bela Karolyi puts her over the top.
Carl Lewis - 4 Gold in ('84). So versatile. 100/200, and probably best technician ever in the LJ. Had the event locked down from 84-96.
Janet Evans - Queen of American distance swimming. Took 3 gold in Seoul ('88) and the look on her face after smashing the WR in the 400fr is a lasting mental image.
Greg Louganis - Double gold in springboard and platform in Los Angeles ('84) and Seoul ('88). The Seoul performance after being concussed on springboard is unforgettable.
Michael Johnson - Gold shoes in Atlanta in '96 and he came through with WR in both the 200 and 400, my all-time favorite track events.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee - JJK not only won the multi-event heptathlon in Barcelona '92, but also the long jump. She still holds the WR in the heptathlon.
The 2008 Trials in Swimming and Track & Field, my two favorites of all, did not disappoint, and we now have two London-ready contingents who should bring back a nice haul of medals if their Trial performances give us a fair indication of who they are. Below are my final Class Notes on what I saw over the course of last week, and into the beginning of this week.
Swimming's Obama moment: As a lifelong swimmer who constantly had to explain to people that my lanky frame was not used for basketball growing up, but instead for swimming, it was a prideful moment for me and my Black swimming brethren and sistren to have Cullen Jones not only make the Olympic team in his first individual event, the 100-freestyle (not easy out of lane 1), but also win the Olympic Trials in the 50-freestyle. Hopefully it will be easier to digest now when a young Black man says he wants to swim now that there is a face to model after in the same way that young Black boys can confidently say that occupying the Oval office is now possible. The legacy of African-American swimmers in this country was enriched by Jones' achievements last week as well as those of Anthony Ervin who came out of retirement to make another team as well as Lia Neal, who followed in the footsteps of Maritza Correia to become the second Black woman to accomplish the feat. I hope these results will inspire the USA Swimming Foundation to redouble their commitment to the Make A Splash campaign, of which Mr. Jones has been an ambassador for the past quadrennium.
Youth Movement Continues: USA Swimming continues to do a commendable job identifying and developing young athletes who will one day become part of the National Team. As we say happy trails to Katie Hoff, Amanda Beard, and Dara Torres as Olympians, we welcome Missy Franklin, Kate Ledecky, and Lia Neal to the Olympic stage. This lies in stark contrast to the Men's Olympic team where there is no member under the age of 20 years old.
Phelps vs. Lochte: The races at the Olympics between these two will be some of the greatest we have ever seen between two Americans. The variety of events in which they will compete is what makes the rivalry unique, and will be must-see TV during the first week of Olympic coverage.
Allyson Felix's Gold Quest: As decorated an athlete as Allyson Felix has been, her resume does not have that signature individual gold medal performance that allows an Olympian to be able to do speaking engagements for the rest of their lives. She looked like she is intent on making sure she gets that medal as she blew away the field at the Trials in a time of 21.69. I don't know how much we will ever know about the machinations that enabled Felix to gain an additional spot on the team in the 100m dash over her teammate, Jeneba Tarmoh, but she is now in a nice position to bring home four more medals from London to bring her total to seven. This would give her more than Jackie Joyner-Kersee, one of the most decorated American track athletes ever.
Struggle to make the Olympic Standard: I became well-versed in the swimming Olympic standards during my March trip to New Zealand where it was cause for celebration when a competitor won an event and actually made the standard. In the US, there is no Olympic swimming event where the two qualifiers struggle to make the standard. It speaks to the strength of the team. On the track however, it seemed that in many of the events over 400m, the question of whether or not the athletes had the Olympic qualifying time was a constant part of the race analysis, and does not bode well for American prospects for medals. I hope the powers at USA Track & Field (USATF) have a development plan in place as College track and field programs continue to be killed off.


Choice and choices are a major part of why someone would choose to play a game rather than read a novel. Players want to make choices, and you should let them.
Not every choice should be a huge deal. But you should usually note a player's choices with qualities. These qualities don't have to do much – you don't need a lot of subsequent content that responds to these choice-recording qualities (and having a lot can lead to Combinatorial Explosion, which you want to avoid). But having their choices recognised by a world now and again makes players happy.
Of course, sometimes you want to make a big deal of a choice. If your major story leads up to a single choice, then go to town. For these choices, it's probably best to lay out the situation that causes the choice in one storylet, and then let the player make the choice in the next. It's hard to lay out complex situations in branch text.

Julian Alvarez growing role at Man City explained by Khaldoon Al Mubarak comments
Manchester City have known they wanted to sign Erling Haaland for more than a year, and having pursued Harry Kane over the last transfer window there would be no repeat. They went all out against Real Madrid and Barcelona to land the Norwegian No.9, and they got their man.
The signing of Julian Alvarez back in January at first appeared an interesting aside. Here was a striker earning rave reviews in Argentina with River Plate who had been scouted by City's excellent recruitment team in South America, and the club saw an opportunity and took it.
Those close to Alvarez and River Plate were keen to point out that the deal was to take him to Manchester rather than any other City Football Group club despite the deal bearing some of the hallmarks of those players that have never kicked a football at the Etihad. For the Blues, it felt like an opportunity that they could take advantage of when it suited them.
ALSO READ: Man City chairman breaks his silence on Erling Haaland transfer
Over the past six months, Alvarez has taken on the mantle himself to show City why there is no longer any debate that he will join the club for pre-season, and increasingly little possibility that he will be spending next season anywhere other than in Guardiola's squad. Watching highlight videos can be deceptive, but a player that looks as clinical as he does – including the double hat-trick he scored recently – merits attention in a squad lacking clinical forwards.
It was striking to hear the City chairman describe Alvarez in the same breath as Haaland, and offer up that "in Alvarez I think we have found one of the most talented young strikers in South America." Given City did rather well out of Sergio Aguero, that is some statement.
If Alvarez has helped his own cause with his performances, he is also benefitting from how the situation in the City squad has unfolded. Ferran Torres left before the January window had even opened, while Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus all have a year remaining on their contracts.
One will almost definitely leave and it is highly possible that two go, so little wonder that a player of Alvarez's calibre is looked to to step in and help keep the quality in the squad – as long as he confirms in pre-season that he has the quality. That now looks to be a formality rather than the real question it initially posed.
City saw their opportunity to snap Alvarez up, and the forward has now picked his moment to fast-track his way into Guardiola's plans for next season.

Riding on this gorgeous day, even with the occasional encounters with some standing waters on the trails, I had a hard time believing how hard it rained yesterday and in the morning. People say Marin drains well, and I now see what they mean. Last night, I spent quite some time trying to make my newly purchased mud fender look less dorky. This morning, just before rolling, I took another look at it and decided to take it off. It looked too dorky even for my taste.
This is the bike after the ride. There was some mud, but not hard to clean off. Not seen here is the abrasive sandy clay that Skeggs normally spits at bikes when it's wet. It only took me 10 minutes to clean my bike before putting it away.
It started out as a fairly big group. I was happy to see some MTBR folks I'd met before, such as tburger, theseawind, Plim, Lambert, MarkMass, etc., and was also glad to meet a few new (to me) ones such as Zen_Turtle and EBRider as well as some MTBR lukers (shame on you!). On a whole, this is a strong bunch, boys and girls. Some are skillful and some are very fit riders (with overlap). I was especially impressed with Ryan G., not one to be confused with the thread initiator (where was he anyway?). He bombed down the technical narrow single track and the rocky fire road on his SS rigid 29er as if he was being chased by a pack of mountain lions.
I started off near the front stopping to take photos from time to time. The group I was with decided to "roll slowly while waiting for others to catch up" after having waited at the Tennessee Valley Parking Area for a while. Well, we all know how that would normally turn out, and it was no exception this time — The group split. We later heard that there were numerous mechanicals in the group behind. Anyway, we waited here and there, esp. with a long wait at West Point. adventuregirl and SO decided to stay to wait for the group behind, so the rest of us moved on to MB. In the end, it was us group of seven under Zen_Turtle's leadership. The rocky, super fun, descent was already behind us (sadly), and we took a right turn where we should have gone straight. I think that dropped us into Mill Valley. But as they say, all the roads lead to the pub. Sure enough, we made it there (may even have taken a short cut compared to the original route, so I suspect Zen_Turtle had planned on getting lost).
This is Zen_Turtle's look when he was told that it was a $2/pint day — anniversary — at MB. That is a great deal… if you drink! If you MTBR sis and bros are entertained, thank him for bringing the look back per my request after I reached for my camera. Next year, check with MB on the date of their anniversary first while planning the ride.
I didn't plan on being the only one riding back to GG after the lunch/dinner at MB. Lambert kindly offered to shuttle me back, but I was not ready to call it a day. After I rode back, I could appreciate the concern he and Paige had for me. There would have been no way I could have found my way back if I had not put a previous GG2MB track on my GPS as a course last night before going to bed! I was thankful I did; otherwise, I'm sure I would have wound up back to the pub after circling around for a couple of hours after all that's where all the roads lead to. Riding across GG Bridge both ways was not bad at all — actually very nice — even on this Sunday. Nice for the tourists to be able to get out there to appreciate San Francisco on such a fine day!
Since I didn't have the good fortune to actually enjoy Alpineberry's delicious pastry, I got myself a piece of Mud Pie to go from Alice's and finished it before Mr. Mud got home. Mmm… Happy!
Some of us took this fun singletrack down. This is just the upper portion and the lower portion is even more exciting.
I'm looking forward to theseawind's photos (and anyone else's). That's a big camera to lug around with, girl!
The track is also available from Garmin Connect and MTBGuru.

Economics and Human Behavior
Economics and Human Behavior Analytical Essay by scribbler
A look at the connection between economics and human behavior.
# 152004 | 1,059 words | 5 sources | APA | 2012 |
Published on Nov 11, 2012 in Economics (Macro)
This paper analyzes the discipline of economics and shows how human behavior in its totality has to be used to explain economic behavior. First, the paper examines several economic approaches, particularly that of Marx, Becker and Riker. Then, it considers the impact of economics on political thought and other areas of scholarship. Next, various economic concepts are introduced and defined. Finally, several other economic approaches are explored. The paper concludes by addressing the choices individuals make and upon what these decisions are based.
"Riker uses a lot of chaos, game theory and mathematics in his positive political analysis system. He believes that the lack of progress in the social sciences (macroeconomics excluded) as opposed to the progress in the "hard" sciences is due to what he sees as a lack of firm basis in rational choice models. Basically, what he is arguing for is an empirical approach. In other words, why do the political mice find the cheese in the maze? He is trying to figure out what mathematically makes them tick.
""Analyzing Politics," deals with group dynamics further and tackles economic issues on a more micro level to find out what makes groups go. The concept of "multiple majorities" provides some interesting insights. What if a group is made up of groups? Certainly, one can not speak of a majority in the singular. Instead, one speaks of "majorities." For instance, in the US government, situations are so influenced. If a bill is to make its way through Congress, it has to deal with a majority in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. In addition, it has to deal with majority votes in the various committees through which it must pass. Efficiency and ease of passage is..."

Why clap? Why not buzz like a bee?
Clapping, scientists at Uppsala University in Sweden have reported, is a form of "social contagion". What you're clapping, apparently, is not as important as joining in with the people clapping all round you. "The cessation of applause is similarly socially mediated," say the scientists, "but is to a lesser degree controlled by the reluctance of individuals to clap too many times."
Well, we can all quibble with this. Some might feel that "social contagion" is not an especially happy choice of phrase for what can mark a pleasurable experience, and is all the more disappointing coming from the land of Abba. Others may point to those smartarses whose chief aim is to get their applause in first to show they know the music's over while you're still nervously deciding, or even enjoying the moment of silence. For my part, I note that the performances used for research were "academic presentations", which, with the best will in the world, is neither the Berlin Philharmonic nor Mrs Brown's Boys, and might also conceivably explain "the reluctance of individuals to clap too many times".
Why, though, do we clap at all? The anthropological work seems so far to have failed to pinpoint the origin beyond very early, but my surmise would involve a typically showy storyteller round the fire on a winter's night confusing attempts to keep warm with high approval. Certainly clapping has been used since biblical times to show both appreciation and disdain. Contrast this text from the Bible, 2 Kings, "And they clapped their hands and said, 'Long live the king!'", with this report on Job, who had clearly not gone down well: "Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place."
Clapping was popular in Rome, where it joined clicking fingers and waving handkerchiefs in expressing subtly gradated appreciation, and could be produced either with flat hands, or, if really wowed, cupped in imitation of Rome's roof tiles. It was also far more widespread, featuring both in court and churches (although Paul of Samosata, bishop of Antioch, preferred the fluttering hankies) and was cheerfully manipulated, a practice that has long continued through the claque – the professional applauders perfected in France – to the television floor manager who indicates when the audience should applaud.
Here, the practice has slowly been eroded and curtailed, although it was never popular at the Glasgow Empire (when Morecambe and Wise, early in their career, walked off to complete silence rather than the boos earlier in the week, a stagehand commented: "I think they're beginning to like you"). The House of Commons frowns on it. Victorians disallowed it in church, and, if you really want to be embarrassed, try it between movements at a classical concert and wait for said smart arses.
There have been some signs of reinvigoration: the minute's applause at football grounds for favoured passings should surely be applauded. There are those who object to celebrities clapping themselves, but this, too, has a noble pedigree. I've always liked the tale of Eric Maschwitz, lyricist of A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, leading the applause at the back of the stalls for the first night of one of his musicals, shouting "Author! Author!", then rushing up to take a bow on stage.
All in all, though, I feel clapping now struggles a bit in a world of social media methods of approbation. Gone for ever, probably for the best, is the world of Hughie Green, Opportunity Knocks, and the Clap-o-meter, contained within a wooden box and measuring, approximately, audience reaction. The connection with the tambourine is also unhelpful. I find, too, and I'm sure I'm not alone, that clapping is quite painful over protracted periods. An alternative suggestion, then, would take us back to ancient Alexandria, and a substitute that so impressed Nero he introduced it back home: to make a buzzing sound like bees. It would certainly make a change. Or what about the vuvuzela?

Saturday Racing Picks 09/28: Rodeo Drive Stakes
Sweet Lou Monaco analyzes Saturday's Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita
Lou Monaco
Sat, September 28, 4:12 PM
A field of six is on tap for the Grade 1 $300,000 Rodeo Drive Stakes for fillies & mares over 1 ¼ miles on the turf Saturday at Santa Anita Park.
As part of the Breeders Cup "Win & You're In" Challenge, the winner receives a berth into the $2 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf to be held right here on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Slated as race 9 on the 11-race card, post time is scheduled for 7:41 p.m. ET.
#2, Beau Recall, Drayden Van Dyke, 9-5
Beau Recall will be making her 25th career start today (7-6-0) and is 3-2-0 in five starts this year, including a powerful stretch drive in her last start to earn a nose triumph over Storm the Hill in the $200,000 G2 Yellow Ribbon Handicap at Del Mar on Aug. 3. One drawback, she is 0-3 in going this distance, but her stretch rally in the last bodes well for her today. The pick.
#6, Paved, Victor Espinoza, 5-2
Winless in her last seven starts, which includes five G1 and one G2, Paved enters today's stakes after a fourth-place finish to Vasilika in the $200,000 G2 John C. Mabee Stakes at Del Mar on Aug. 31. She earned a 94 Beyer in that race. Her last win was a 3 ½-length triumph in the $200,000 G2 Honeymoon Stakes right here on June 9 of last year. She starts from the outside with Victor Espinoza aboard and poses a big threat with the jock and experience. Plus she might be due, don't you think? Runner-up, but not by much.
#5, Excellent Sunset, Abel Cedillo, 7-2
Excellent Sunset has had runner-up finishes in four of her last five starts, including two straight. Two starts back, she finished ¾ of a length behind Fahan Mura in the $150,000 G3 Robert J. Frankel Stakes right here back on Dec. 29 of last year. After an eight-month layoff since that race, she finished second by a half-length to Super Patriot in an $62,500 allowance optional claiming race at Del Mar on Aug. 30. In her only G1 start, she finished a disappointing 8th to Uni (GB) in the $300,000 Matriarch Stakes at Del Mar on Dec. 2, 2018. Cedillo returns for his second straight mount. In the mix.
#1, Mirth, Mike Smith, 6-1
After three straight second-place finishes, Mirth ran fifth in her last start in the $85,000 CTT and TOC Stakes at Del Mar on Aug. 16. She led by one length at the mile mark and then weakened in the stretch for Martin Garcia, who has been in the saddle for three straight starts. Mike Smith gets the call today for a new direction and a new feel. Mirth is 1-3-1 in eight starts this year, with her last victory by a neck over Stradella Road in a $57,000 allowance optional claiming race here on Feb. 23. This will be her first graded stakes race and the move up might be too much to ask, but with Smith in the saddle, there is always a chance. Looks to improve.
PICKS: 2-6-5-1

Q: jQuery class selector vs cached element + find I have a situation where I'm wondering what the best approach is performance-wise.
I have a class name, let's call it .class-test.
I also have a cached element, $body.
I can either retrieve the .class-test element by:
$('.class-test')

or by
$body.find('.class-test')

In a worst-case scenario, does one of these approaches win out over the other? Also, if someone could describe what is being done under the hood by the second approach that would be great (i.e. I know that .find defers to Sizzle, but if the element is cached does it already have a tree of its DOM elements stored, then it only needs to traverse that sub-tree to find the class? or is that tree only built as-needed?).

A: The difference is how many times you dip in the DOM pool so to speak. In the first query, jQuery will search from within the document( top level ) and travel down in to the DOM tree checking every level till it gets to the very end and then returns all of the matching elements.
In the second option, you specify the starting point, so instead of starting at the very top and working its way down you are starting at the body element. In this particular case you are only going one level lower but here is the real plus, since you have the body cached, jquery doesn't have to find that it can just reference the cached element.
When you get deeper into the DOM tree this can be a big time saver. You can save 10s to 100s of level checks. And although you wont notice this much for small sites, one day you may be working with enterprise level code bases where these performance gains will be very beneficial to you.

HowStuffWorks "What can emergency dental services do for you?"
When it comes to emergency dental services, ice hockey players have one distinct advantage: They fully expect to chip, crack or even lose a few teeth over their careers. The rest of us have to scramble when an accident happens involving our pearly whites.
What is a Dental Emergency? Injuries to the mouth may include teeth that are knocked out (avulsed), forced out of position and loosened (extruded) or fractured. In addition, lips, gums or cheeks are often cut. Oral injuries are often painful and should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible.
Toothaches may be caused due to dental problems ranging from tooth decay, inflamed dental pulp, gum problems, chipped tooth to abscessed tooth. More often than not, poor dental hygiene and lack of dental care is the reason behind dental problems. Pain is often felt by a person when the pulp chamber, (of the tooth) which contains the nerve endings and tiny blood vessels, gets affected.
An emergency dentist takes care of dental emergencies. Generally, a dental emergency is one that involves extreme pain or tooth damage. For example, if a tooth needs immediate extraction or a filling or crown becomes detached and causes pain, it is a dental emergency.
Although most dental conditions can wait long enough for you to call your regular dentist during office hours, there are some injuries and conditions that require immediate attention. But what constitutes a genuine emergency and what should be done if you find yourself in that situation?
Source: http://www.wikihow.com/Locate-an-Emergency-Dentist Images: http://www.totaldental.com.au/emergency.html Chances are, if you live long enough in this world you are going to one day experience some type of dental emergency. Now, imagine that you have a horrible tooth ache and your regular dentist is closed because it is the weekend. What are you supposed to do?
We at Total Dental are here to help you, so if you have a dental emergency, please contact us at our dental clinics in Newtown and Hurstville between 8.00am and 6.00pm Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri and 8.00am and 1.00pm Saturday If you are calling out of these hours, please phone and leave a name and number on our voicemail system.

Analysis: Google lashes out at patent trolls with Motorola buy
Google is apparently sick of being pushed around by patent attorneys from Microsoft and Apple.
By Brad Reed |Network World US | 16 Aug 11
While announcing his company's decision to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion today, Google CEO Larry Page said that the deal would help fight off patent suits against Android vendors and would "increase competition by strengthening Google's patent portfolio." Google's Motorola announcement came less than two weeks after the company publicly lashed out at Microsoft, Apple and Oracle for allegedly waging "a hostile, organized campaign against Android ... waged through bogus patents."
Both Apple and Microsoft have been very aggressive in recent years in pressing patent claims against vendors who sell devices based on Google's Android operating system, which has been ostensibly free to use for device makers since its debut in 2007. The most recent big development in the Android patent saga came last month when a judge at the International Trade Commission ruled that HTC's Android-based smartphones had key features that infringed upon two Apple patents. If the ruling is made final later this year, it means that HTC could be barred from importing its Android phones into the U.S. Microsoft has also successfully sued some Android manufacturers such as HTC and is generating an estimated $5 in extra revenue every time HTC ships an Android-based device, according to a report by Citi analyst Walter Pritchard.
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt signaled that Google would step up its game to more aggressively defend Android manufacturers from patent suits last month when he pledged that Google would "make sure" that HTC didn't lose its appeal of the ITC's initial verdict. However, the Motorola buy now puts Google directly in the center of the Android patent wars as it gives the company a major incentive to defend its turf as an Android device manufacturer. What's more, Google's leap into the patent fray will likely benefit other Android vendors since Google is still pledging solidarity with all its partners in the Android device-making coalition that Google CEO Larry Page said had contributed to making Android a success.
"This acquisition will not change our commitment to run Android as an open platform," Page emphasized today. "Motorola will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. We will run Motorola as a separate business. Many hardware partners have contributed to Android's success and we look forward to continuing to work with all of them to deliver outstanding user experiences."
This should come as a relief to other high-profile Android vendors because Motorola apparently has such an extensive patent portfolio that it could make life very difficult for its fellow Android vendors if it ever chose to do so. Trip Chowdry, an analyst for Global Equities, noted earlier this year that Motorola had a strong enough mobile patent portfolio to launch a "full attack" against rival HTC if it wanted to. And as software patent expert Florian Mueller wrote on his blog yesterday, Motorola has so far dodged Google's attempts to forge a non-aggression pact among Android vendors when it comes to patent suits. Mueller also said that he didn't believe Motorola would be very willing to play nice with its competitors for the good of the Android market as a whole.
"Unfortunately, I don't believe that Motorola will look at the broader interest of Android as it decides on how to leverage its patents for its own purposes," said Mueller. "Motorola isn't going to shut Android down, and it actually can't. ... Motorola would just try to create a relative cost advantage by taxing the competition."
Motorola has been one of the most high-profile device manufactures to champion Android since its inception. The company helped put Android on the map for many U.S. users when it launched the popular Motorola Droid smartphone on the Verizon network in late 2009. Android is currently the most popular smartphone operating system in the world, as research firm Canalys estimated that it accounted for nearly half of all smartphones shipped in the second quarter of 2011.

Nearing stage of herd immunity against corona in Rajasthan: Experts
Jaipur, Dec 28 (IANS) The doubling rate of coronavirus, which was 58 days in November, has now gone down to 214 days in Rajasthan and the trend indicates that the state is nearing the herd immunity stage, said medical practitioners in the desert state.
According to senior doctor Virendra Singh: "There were estimates that COVID-19 cases can go up during winters. However, the continuous dwindling of numbers suggests that we are reaching the stage of herd immunity."
The corona cases reported in Rajasthan totalled 843 on Sunday, taking the active cases to 11,157. On November 27, 3,093 cases were reported, with active cases totalling 28,183.
In fact, the cumulative COVID cases in Rajasthan in the last one week have been limited to around 1,000, confirmed health officials.
Despite the 100 per cent RT-PCR tests being done, the continuous fall in the positivity rate is a good sign, said Siddharth Mahajan, Secretary, Medicine and Health, Rajasthan.
In Jaipur, around Diwali, the number of new daily cases had reached 700, which has now reduced to around 140. A similar decline is also visible in other cities of the state. Similarly, the demand for oxygen and ventilators has also gone down significantly in Rajasthan.
Only 137 corona patients are admitted as against a capacity of 1,200 beds in RUHS Hospital, he said, adding that the infection rate has reduced to 3.75 per cent in the last one week.
Dr Rajababu Panwar, Vice Chancellor of Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, speaking on the nature of the virus by taking into account the SARS-1, H1N1 and other viruses, said that every virus has a death circle along with its birth circle and after a while the effect of the virus starts decreasing.
The officials were speaking at a review meeting on COVID called by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday at his residence.
Addressing the officials, the CM said: "This is a good sign that COVID numbers are decreasing. However, till the time COVID goes away completely, we need to work with the same alacrity and adopt all precautions."
He said that there is a need to speed up the preparations for vaccination. For this, he instructed for intensive training of medical and other related personnel from state to block level.

Don't you hate it when you think you'd made enough jam/pickle/chutney/relish to last to the next season … and you hadn't. My fault. I learnt to make Mozzarella Cheese this year and, therefore, had made lots of pizza and mousetraps and other yummy stuff that required tomato relish.
Lo and behold, a bunch of family were going to be turning up on their way to the ski-field … no tomato relish for the lunchtime pizza and no tomatoes in the garden at this time of the year!
Thank goodness for a friend who had called in to grab a bag of tamarillo from the citrus garden. Her advice saved the day - "Use tamarillo instead of tomatoes. The result will be just as nice". So I did. I saved myself a trip to town and everyone was really impressed with my out-of-season fresh chutney.
Here's my recipe, it makes up well using the red tamarillo or the golden ones … enjoy.
Add: 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of vinegar, half a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pickling spice (which I ground up in the coffee grinder). You may want more or less spice depending on your taste.
Simmer this altogether until it looks like the right consistency for what you are wanting (half an hour to an hour). Bottle or use.
I made the pizza bases, covered them with the chutney, piled bits of bacon on top, covered the lot with my Mozzarella cheese and baked them until crisp and gooey. They disappeared real quick!

Box Office Wrap Up: Terminator…is Back?
November 4, 2019 Neil Worcester Box Office News, Movie News 1
The sixth Terminator film took first place, but will a soft box office lead to a Dark Fate?
Terminator: Dark Fate led the box office. While earnings rallied slightly, numbers are still lagging. This is especially the case for blockbuster sequels, which have had a spotty track record this year. Dark Fate is going to have to bring a lot bigger guns to the fight in the coming weeks if it wants to stay alive.
Yeah, that looks like an appropriately sized gun.
This Week in Box Office History.
The box office recovered a bit from a soft October finish, adding 6% to earnings. That was the first bit of good news. The second bit was that the first week of November has been really soft over the last decade, and 2019 managed to be in the top five compared to those totals. OK, now the bad news.
Domestic totals were down 21% from last year, taking in just 114 million dollars. An off week is one thing, but the numbers suggest that Hollywood is really misjudging interest badly this year.
A big budget noir detective story in 2019? Are you out of your mind, sonny jim!?
Just this week, Motherless Brooklyn took in just 3 million against a 26 million dollar budget, Arctic Dogs took in 3 against 46 million, and Dark Fate took in 29 against a budget that could be as high as 200 million. Those are huge deficits, all fighting each other over scraps from a taciturn box office.
Top Film One Year Ago: Bohemian Rhapsody.
King for a weekend.
Top Film Ten Years Ago: This Is It.
Speaking of things which have not aged well…
Top Three Films.
Terminator: Dark Fate landed in first place with 29 million dollars. Looking at the Terminator Franchise, that's not great numbers, but there is a silver lining. Despite not matching T:2, T:3, or even T:Salvation, it did beat T:Genisys. It also had much better critic and audience impressions than the previous outing. Foreign sales were solid, at about 100 million. If positive word of mouth can revive its US numbers while maintaining solid overseas figures, it may avoid Judgment Day.
The franchise is a bit banged up, by this point.
Joker dropped back down to second place while Maleficent took third.
Other Films.
The Harriet Tubman biopic, starring the very talented Cynthia Erivo, opened at fourth with 12 million dollars. That beat early projections and looks solid compared to a 17 million dollar budget.
The third new wide release, Ed Norton's Motherless Brooklyn, landed with a thud at number nine. It took in just 3 million dollars, and has not been troubled with middling reviews.
Our last new release, the animated Arctic Dogs, barely mushed across the finish line in tenth place. Featuring a lead voice actor, Jeremy Renner, currently being dogged by scandal, a barely comprehensible plot, and rather lackluster visuals, I think the studio should be grateful it even broke the top ten.
Yeah. Not suprised this flopped.
Top Ten Films.
Terminator: Dark Fate (29.0)
Joker (13.9)
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (12.1)
Harriet (12.0)
The Addams Family (8.4)
Zombieland: Double Tap (7.3)

Plus, a California teacher fired after he threatened to deport students' parents and the GOP denounces the KKK's Trump victory rally in North Carolina.
John Legend isn't here for anyone defending Donald Trump and denying the President-elect's racism.
On Friday's episode of Real Time, David Axelrod, former advisor to President Barack Obama, told host Bill Maher that the millionaire businessman wasn't really racist. Legend, who was also a guest on the show, stressed that inciting racially-motivated violence is actually racist, Mediaite noted.
"I don"t care if he is," the singer snapped.
"I think he is an opportunist who exploited race and surfed racism," Axelrod said, but Legend interrupted him.
"That is a difference without a distinction," Legend said.
"It is not different! Because he knew better and he knew what he was doing," Axelrod replied.
A Los Angeles area substitute teacher has been fired after a student recorded him telling Latino sixth graders that their parents were going to be deported. The conversation happened the day after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.
According to NBC4, a young student recorded the unidentified teacher at Bret Harte Middle School taunting their class. The video was later turned into school authorities by Jennifer Reynaga, who also shared the audio with NBC4 and their sister station Telemundo 52.
Reynaga told NBC4 that she knew that the election would usher in bullying from other students, but not from adults.
"I would think the kids would do it, but I never thought a teacher would do it," she said.
While school officials declined to tell the press about their investigation, Reynaga said that school officials told her and her husband that the substitute teacher has been fired.
Earlier this week we reported that a KKK group in North Carolina announced that on Dec 3. they would host a victory rally for Donald Trump. Now, GOP leaders have spoken out denouncing the white supremacist event.
The Klan has been a staunch supporter of Trump endorsing him in one of their newspapers last month.

[ Litigation ] as a Key Elective : Antitrust laws have been applied to both the lifesciences sector and the broader health care industry when sectors of the industry have grown in market power. When a company's IP assets are the source of its market power, competitors may allege violation of the antitrust laws in the way those IP assets are commercialized. Students interested in an IP litigation practice should choose one or more antitrust courses. This course provides a more in-depth look at antitrust jurisprudence and should be taken as a follow up to Antitrust Law or Intellectual Property and Antitrust Law.

Secure Customer Data with SSLs
Andrew Allemann | October 13, 2016
SSL certificates provide an easy way to secure website data. Even if you're not selling anything, your website and your users will reap the benefits of enhanced privacy and verification.
As part of our ongoing series of posts leading up to Internet Privacy Week (Oct 18-24), let's take a look at how SSLs help to secure your customers' data.
What are SSL Certificates?
SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer certificates, are cryptographic protocols that provide a layer of encryption for transmitted data such as passwords, credit card information, or even email addresses. (Although most certificates employ Transport Layer Security protocols, we will use the familiar term SSL in this article) They also provide validation of the entity that runs the site, assuring you that you're dealing with a legitimate business or organization.
You can recognize when a site uses SSL because the URL, or site address, will start with "https" rather than just "http", as shown below:
Imagine a thief who goes around a parking lot checking door handles to find one that's unlocked. He can help himself to everything in the unlocked car but bypasses all of the locked cars.
SSLs work much the same way for websites. Whenever you open a website or submit information on a page, that data gets sent across a network that involves numerous different servers. Unencrypted data, like an unlocked car door, can be intercepted anywhere along the way.
SSLs offer protection for that data. By encrypting it before it gets transmitted, the information becomes worthless to anyone trying to access it. When your data reaches the company with which you're doing business, it then gets validated and safely unencrypted.
The Trust Factor
A key reason to purchase an SSL certificate for your website is to build trust with your customers.
Consumers want reassurance that their information is secure when they submit it on a website. This is especially true for e-commerce sites where visitors are asked to provide their credit card information. In a 2014 survey conducted by GlobalSign, 84% of customers said they would abandon a transaction if they felt the connection was insecure. So without an SSL certificate, you could be driving business away.
Trust is also a factor on non-commerce sites. When someone is creating an account, logging in, or even filling out a form with personal information, they like to know the site receiving that information is secure. Seeing the SSL also reassures customers that they are on a company's official website rather than a fake 'phishing' site.
In addition to the indicators that browsers show on an SSL-secured site (i.e. HTTPS or the "green bar"), many SSL certificates offer trust seals that you can place on your site.
The more trust you can convey to your site visitors, the better the conversions. Adding an SSL certificate is good for your bottom line.
We all want our websites to rank higher in Google search results. Adding an SSL certificate can help with that as well.
In 2014, Google began giving ranking preference to sites that use SSL assurance. The company stated in a blog post that the influence on search rankings was small, but that it might increase the importance of SSL in its search algorithms in the future. Google has a goal of all sites being secured with SSL. So even if you have a blog or website that doesn't involve e-commerce or login data, there's still a real benefit to adding SSL protection.
Types of SSLs
There are several different types of certificates that include the same essential level of encryption. SSLs with advanced features are ideal for certain websites.
If you are trying to secure a blog or other basic site in which security isn't a top concern, consider a basic "Domain Validation" (DV) certificate. These don't require paperwork and are easy to purchase and set up.
To secure a site with login credentials or forms that collect personal information, choose an "Organization Validation" (OV) certificate. In addition to securing your site, you can get a dynamic site seal to display to your visitors.
E-commerce sites should consider an "Extended Validation" (EV) certificate, which provides the highest level of validation. Sites with (EV) certificates show the familiar "green bar" in the browser's address bar along with the company's name.
Secure Your Website Today
To protect the privacy of your customers, add an SSL certificate to your website. They're cheaper than ever and provide benefits even if your site doesn't handle sensitive information.
SSL certificates used to costs hundreds of dollars, but today even a more advanced SSL certificate is quite affordable. You can buy an SSL certificate on Namecheap for as little as $9.00 per year.
SSLs are a great way to demonstrate your commitment to responsible and secure data transmission.
To show your support for internet privacy rights, be sure to sign the Internet Privacy Bill of Rights, part of Namecheap's Internet Privacy Week.

L'Union Sportive du Foyer de la Régie Abidjan-Niger Bouaké (plus communément appelé USFRAN Bouaké) est un club ivoirien de football basé à Bouaké, au nord du pays.

Histoire

L'USFRAN est le club de football de la régie des chemins de fer Abidjan-Niger à Bouaké. Dans les années 1960, le club entretient une rivalité avec deux autres clubs de la ville, l'Alliance Bouaké et l'Unisports Bouaké. Son président est alors également le chef de gare.

En 1965, l'USFRAN recrute un jeune attaquant de 18 ans, Laurent Pokou, qui évoluait jusque-là dans un petit club de quartier de Bouaké. Avec lui, l'USFRAN remporte le championnat de la Ligue du Centre, et parvient en finale du championnat de Côte d'Ivoire, le , au stade Félix-Houphouët-Boigny. Mais l'USFRAN s'incline lourdement face au Stade d'Abidjan, champion de la Ligue du Sud, par huit buts à zéro. À la suite de cet épisode, Laurent Pokou quitte Bouaké, recruté par l'ASEC Abidjan.

Actually, of our three rescues, we know the very least about Darwin. When we got him, the foster home thought he could be anywhere from 4 to 6 months old and they seemed sure he was part Border Collie (since the rescue was for BCs) but they were told he was mixed with Dalmatian. Well, if he's half Dalmatian, I'm half giraffe, I would bet money he's got some black lab in him.
Ooooh, right, Darwin and his birthday. So, after we brought the little beasty home, we took him to the vet who checked his teeth and gave us her best guess on his age and I used that to pick a date for Darwin's birthday. For those of you (aka, none of you) who want to mark your calendars, August 12th is the day.
Darwin's been a handful in the past 8 months. To say we get a lot of use out of the carpet cleaner is an understatement, for sure. We're still working on some of the residual emotional problems he has as a result of his living conditions before we got him, but boy does he make up for it in other ways. Little D is sweet, loving, snuggly, smart, a quick learner and eager to make his people happy. We may have a long way to go, to undo his past, but it won't be because he isn't willing.
I feel like I've gotten off on a tangent, was there something I needed to do?
Oooh, right, the birthday dinner, you guys are still waiting for that. Sorry.
Beautiful job and a grandiose gesture of love for their dogs. I really admire your knit projects and her affection and dedication to dogs.
Congratulations to you and happy birthday to Darwin (very cute)!
Wonderful birthday meal. Now I know why Darwin's had that droopy look. He had to wait for the "go" command. Well-behaved dogs! Love them.
Aw, I loved the rotational plate checking at the end. No-one could agree on Oscar's birthday so we celebrate his adoption day instead.
Ah, yes, start with dessert - smart dogs!
I've been reading your blog for a while and although the knitwear is beautiful, I keep reading for the dogs. I love those dogs!
Loved watching that video! They are all so cute. That's amazing they love berries like that. How healthy!
What sweeties! And they loved the berries, didn't they. Darwin almost shares a birthday with Lunil - hers is the 13th. Thank you for sharing that little movie with us.
Happy birthday, Darwin! I can't believe he's a year old already.
I loved how they all checked out each other's dishes when they were done. And it's interesting that Panda--the only one who was an only child--is the slowest eater. So sweet!
Funnily enough, we took Chappy out to buy treats for his birthday today. He turned 10 a month ago, but it's just been too darn hot to walk around town or go to the gourmet biscuit store, so that had been on hold until today (which was lovely). So, we celebrated today, too! Chappy sends lots of tail wags.
We had a big birthday party for the dogs one year. We made steaks and hot dogs and something else I forget and served it to them.
And it was all apparently a little TOO rich. Carpet cleaning ensued.
Your dogs are so well trained - they really sat and waited for your permission to eat :-) I'd love that and wish some of my neighbours would understand that dogs do better with certain rules applied... we still love them to death.
That was awesome. I can't believe they stood perfectly still until you gave them the go ahead.
Happy Birthday Darwin! All of your furry family are so beautiful and well behaved.
Happy Birthday Darwin!!! Your doggies are all sooo cute!
Love the addition of the fresh berries to the birthday feast! Happy birthday Darwin!!!

It may surprise you to hear, but no one particular window style is innately energy efficient. Instead, it is how we adapt and improve these windows that makes them better for insulation or draught proofing. Sash windows are no different. If they have become damaged, been left to decay or simply never been renovated, then they will probably have pretty poor energy efficiency.
Draught-proofing: To stop heat escaping, you have to ensure there are no gaps in your windows for draughts. An integrated draught-sealing system will stop air getting through key areas of the window. Beading will be fitted to the timber panels to create an air-tight seal and smooth plane between the two sashes. The windows will also be checked for broken putty to eliminate the possibility of draughts entering around the window's glass pane.
Glass replacement and improvement: As well as broken putty around the glass, your windows may simply have inadequate weather protection from their glass. Double glazing can solve this with ease. An experienced sash window company can install double glazing on original hardwood sash windows, giving you a perfect combination of heat efficiency and authentic heritage.
A full restoration: Including both of these key services, a full restoration of your sash windows is the best way to ensure they are optimal in terms of energy efficiency. As well as draught-proofing and replacing inadequate glass, a full sash window restoration will ensure any other issues – such as protective repainting – are dealt with to a high standard. This will eliminate any damage to your windows that could develop over time, leaving you will energy efficient and long-lasting sash windows.
If you are concerned about the energy efficiency of your sash windows, you don't have to pay over the odds for expensive replacements. At Fortis & Hooke, we can make any sash windows more energy efficient by renovating and restoring them with draught-sealing, double glazing and important repairs.
Our team of sash window specialists will ensure your windows are energy efficient for years to come. For more information, call us on 0800 313 4688, email info@fortishooke.co.uk or contact us online using our quick and easy enquiry form.
