noun cooking A kind of layered cake.
The cake was probably made by "Cafe Fromme" in Cologne which is still existing and known for their good "Baumkuchen" and other cakes.
Yep, I was only going to agree on the 'Baumkuchen'.
As starters on the cabin menu, rabbit terrine in layered 'Baumkuchen' cake will be served with pickled shallots and carrot mayonnaise or goat cheese pralines with beetroot and walnut dres-sing.
In the picture, the nearest one was Baumkuchen, next was a not overpoweringly sugared apple honey, then mocha chocolate, and strawberry.
So I loaded up on everything she was having, instructed Ms. Simeon to throw in a Baumkuchen and a mocha roll just so, worst case scenario and I couldn't keep down the peach jelly or the bean paste, the afternoon wouldn't be a total bust, and headed back to the office to share my treats with Stephen Miller, The Wall Street Journal's obituary writer.
The one that looks like stacked donuts is called Baumkuchen...a very difficult cake to make, you spin a spit and drizzle layers of batter until it forms a many layered cake...like tree rings.
Definitely Baumkuchen, with chocolate in this case.
Here's what I found on the net for the Baumkuchen.


If you are a regular follower of our posts, you're ready for many of the dangers your pet faces as the temperature falls and the winter winds blow. You're prepared for the cold walks with your dog, the pitfalls of decorating for the holidays, the possible flair-up of your dog's arthritis pain and you're on the lookout for signs of hypothermia. You are ready to keep you and your friends warm and dry this winter, no matter what Old Man Winter throws at you. But are you preventing dehydration?
Whether your pet spends a lot of time indoors or outdoors, dehydration can be a significant problem for your dog or cat at this time of year.
In these colder temperatures and the whipping frosty wind it can be a struggle to keep warm, as you well know, and this uses up a lot of energy. To keep the body's furnace running your pet will need additional energy from food and water, particularly if they spend time outside. If an outdoor water source has frozen over, consider a heated water dish to prevent icing over. And always make sure there is a bowl of water inside the house waiting for them as well. To keep your friend's energy and fitness levels up and their coat in prime condition, consider adjusting their food portions if needed.
Your pet's skin may also suffer at this time of year. Cold dry winds outside and furnace blasted homes inside can be very hard on their skin and fur. If a pet is regularly irritated they may scratch and bite incessantly at the dried out regions, causing hotspots and sores to occur. To help prevent such sores and dried out skin, consider adding fatty-acids as a supplement to their food. This will help both the skin and fur retain their moisture. As another preventative measure, fur brushing will increase circulation to the skin and coat. Do it often and do it with gusto. If bathing is absolutely necessary, do not do it too frequently as you do not want to dry out your pet further but make sure that shampoos and conditioners containing products like oatmeal are used to help soothe the angry skin.
Ensure a happy, healthy and moisturised pet this season, and the only snow this year will be on the lawn.

Despite recent struggles legislative reporter says Premier Kenney still has support.
Hal Roberts
The UCP says Premier Jason Kenney will be facing a leadership review in April at its annual general meeting. The gathering will take place April 8th and 9th in Edmonton. Recent reports have indicated certain divisions between party members over Kenney's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. An opinion poll conducted by Angus Reid in June suggested Kenney has the lowest level of support among premiers. Our legislative reporter, Tyler Dawson, says even though there has been some internal drama with the UCP, Premier Kenney still has his supporters.

Things to do Whats On KYPRIA International Festival
KYPRIA International Festival
KYPRIA" International Festival, right from its inception in 1993, aimed at presenting Cypriots and visitors alike with a variety of cultural events of the highest possible standard. Having been launched in a period characterised by an almost complete lack of important cultural events, it became the catalyst for the creation of an unprecedented cultural movement which gives audiences a plethora of choices. The Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture have always been searching for new approaches aiming at the further improvement and upgrade of the Festival with regards to both its conception and further course and also the character of the events hosted in the Festival´s programme.
Throughout its 25-year history, the Festival has always aimed at presenting Cypriot as well as foreign artists and ensembles of international acclaim, and putting on display high quality productions in various fields of the performing arts. The selection of each year´s participations also aspire to provide an opportunity for the representation and participation, to the greatest possible extent, of Cypriot artists and groups without, of course, detracting from the international character of the Festival.
During the past two decades, "KYPRIA" has hosted an array of distinguished artists and ensembles from the fields of Dance, Theatre, Music, Visual Arts and the Cinema. In the field of Dance, the Festival has hosted, amongst others, the Rhine Ballet, the National Ballet of Cuba, Omada Edafous by Demetris Papaioannou and the Batsheva Dance Company.
Theatre performances by prominent directors featuring distinguished actors and theatre groups of worldwide acclaim have been in the forefront of the Festival, some of the most celebrated being the National Theatre of Greece, the Greek Art Theatre of KarolosKoun and Spyros Evangelatos Amphitheatre. Moreover, one of the Festival´s most recent highlights has been John Malkovich´s outstanding performance in the "Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer" presented at "KYPRIA" 2011.
The "KYPRIA" Festival has also hosted a number of celebrated music ensembles of worldwide renown such as the English National Symphony Orchestra, the Madrigalisti di Venezia, the European Union Baroque Orchestra, the Salzburg Philarmonic Chamber Orchestra, as well as, the Mikis Theodorakis Popular Orchestra, the State Orchestra of Greek Music conducted by Dionysis Savvopoulos and the Orchestra of the Academy of St Martin in the Field.
Between 1 September and 10 October, the festival program includes 14 productions by Cypriot and international artists!

Kincluny plans under the spotlight
An artist's image of the new Kincluny settlement
Developers and residents have aired their views on a new village proposed for Lower Deeside.
Conflicting opinions were expressed at a meeting to discuss a 1500-home development at Park Quarry, south of Drumoak.
Chap Group is seeking the go-ahead for the Kincluny project which would also have community facilities including a school and a health centre.
A pre-determination hearing wes held by Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee in Drumoak last Thursday.
The hearing had been postposed twice, most recently to allow Aberdeenshire Council to complete a structural survey of Park Bridge, which links north and south Deeside, and its ability to cope with current and future traffic volume.
Residents have raised concerns over the impact the development would have on the bridge.
Douglas Thomson, Chap Group's joint managing director, told the hearing that discussions over the listed bridge were continuing with the council.
He said that one third of the homes at Kincluny would be "affordable" - addressing a shortage in the area - and the project would offer a "unique and special opportunity" to develop the site into a "thriving and vibrant community".
Mr Thomson added: "We have to create our own future and you cannot do that if you don't have housing."
Among the objectors is Crathes, Drumoak and Durris Community Council.
Its treasurer, Peter Renwick, disputed the need for a development on this scale and in this location.
He told councillors: "We are a quiet, rural area, yes maybe expensive, but there are not hundreds waiting to live here. There is no local need and it does not justify 1500 or 500 houses."
Mr Renwick said there would be no benefit to Drumoak from the development and claimed it would "forever spoil the Dee Valley."
New clubroom plans at Deeside Rugby
A report will now go to the area committee before being referred to the full council for a decision.

We were incorporated as "Lans Holdings Inc." ("Lans") on November 13, 2007 in the State of Nevada for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, and selling a hexagon fishing net specifically for fishing equipment retailers in Southeast Asia.
We are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling hexagon fishing nets produced specifically for fishing equipment retailers in Southeast Asia (our "Product"). Such a product will allow fishers to effectively increase their fishing output without the problems presented by fishing nets presently in use in the Southeast Asian market. We are currently in the process of designing and developing our Product, and we are continually refining our net through experiments, testing water pressure resistance, extension capability, and sailing speed variations. When we are satisfied that our Product will compete effectively in the Southeast Asian Fishing Equipment Industry by being the most functional and efficient fishing net, we will begin the manufacture and distribution of the Product to fishing equipment retailers.
Our principal executive offices are located at 50 West Liberty Street, Suite 880, Reno, NV 89501. Our operations office is located at Penthouse Menara Antara, No 11 Jalan Bukit Ceylon, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
According to the Food and Agriculture Association of the United Nations, global capture fisheries production reached 95 million tons in 2004, with an estimated first-sale value of $84.9 billion. World capture fisheries production has been relatively stable in the past decade. In real terms (adjusted for inflation), exports of fish and fishery products increased by 17.3% during the period 2000-04. In terms of quantity, exports in live-weight-equivalent terms in 2004 accounted for 38% of total fisheries and aquaculture production, confirming fish as one of the most highly traded food and feed commodities. The share of fish trade in both total gross domestic product ("GDP") and agricultural GDP has roughly doubled over the past 25 years. Shrimp continues to be the most important commodity traded in value terms, accounting for 16.5% of the total value of internationally traded fishery products in 2004, followed by groundfish (10.2%), tuna (8.7%) and salmon (8.5%). In 2004, fishmeal represented around 3.3% of the value of exports and fish oil less than 1%.
China remains by far the largest producer, with reported 16.9 million tons from capture fisheries in 2004, providing an estimated domestic food supply of 28.4 kg per capita when combined with the country's aquaculture production, as well as production for export and non-food purposes. China has been the world's main exporter since 2002, and in 2004 its fish exports were valued at US $6.6 billion, following remarkable average annual growth of 12% in the period 1992-2004. In 2004, the livelihood of 20.98 million people in China relied on fisheries. While hard data beyond 2004 is unavailable, current estimates indicate that China is responsible for approximately 30% (37.5 million tons) of the estimated 125 million tons of global fishery production in 2008.
Japan is a country with limited agronomic and livestock-raising potential, so marine products are an indispensable source of food for the large population, and a staple in Japanese homes. Per capita consumption of seafood in 2003 in Japan was 70 kilograms, among the highest in the world. Japanese coastal fisheries have maintained a stable supply of marine products, in 2003 yielding 1,577,000 tons, worth about US $4.55 billion. Fisheries play an important role in food security in Japan and, being a primary industry in coastal areas, contribute significantly to regional economies.
Seafood is the third largest export product of Vietnam after textile-garments and crude oil. In 2004 Vietnam exported fisheries products to 80 different countries and territories. The country's fishery sector has been growing continuously since the late 1980s. Vietnam's fisheries production volume and value expanded by 7.7% and 11.2% respectively in 2002 and 2003. The demand for fish and fish products in Vietnam is high. People consume on average 19.4 kg per year, which is more than half of their animal protein intake.
Indonesia's prospect of domestic marketing of fishery product is very good. Per capita fish consumption was 21.3 kg in 2003, and fishery product exports from the country reached US $1,654,112,000 in 2004. In 2004 there were about 3.8 million fishermen in Indonesia.
The fisheries sector has for decades been playing an important role as a major supplier of animal protein to the Malaysian population. In 2004 the fisheries landings of the country amounted to 1,507,034 tons, with an estimated value of US $1.5 billion. Its contribution to GDP amounted to 1.73%. The Malaysian fishing industry provided direct employment to 89,500 fishermen in the year 2004.
The Philippines ranked 11th among the top fish producing countries in the world for 2001, accounting for 2.2% of global production. In 2003, the fisheries sector had a total value of US $1.8 billion, accounting for 2.2% of GDP. Fish contributes around 22.4% of the total protein intake of the average Filipino. It is the main source of animal protein in the diet, contributing 56% of animal protein intake in 2004. The Philippine per capita fish consumption was 28.8 kg in 2003.
With the growing Southeast Asian population, increasing affluence, and a general recognition and acceptance that fish is a healthy source of animal protein, the demand for fish and fishing products is steadily increasing in Malaysia and other Asian countries.
Bottom trawling, or Benthic trawling, is a fishing method which involves towing trawl nets along the sea floor, as opposed to pelagic trawling, where a net is towed higher in the water column to catch large schools of fish such as anchovies, shrimp, tuna, and Mackerel. On November 18, 2004 the United Nations General Assembly urged nations to consider temporary bans on high seas bottom trawling. The turbidity produced by bottom trawling can have an environmental impact significant distances from the site of the trawl activity. The absolute magnitude of suspended solids introduced into the water column from bottom trawling activity is much greater than any other man-made source of suspended solid pollution in the world's oceans. The UN Secretary General reported that 95% of damage to seamount ecosystems worldwide is caused by deep sea bottom trawling. Today, most major, responsible fishing countries restrict bottom trawling within their jurisdictions.
We are designing and developing our Product by conducting experiments to improve on quality and cost. These experiments include testing our Product with variant levels of water pressure resistance and sailing speeds, as well as measuring extension capability. We are in the process of refining these essential qualities of our Product, which will be integral to its success. We are searching for the lowest priced components available in the market in our efforts to reduce costs. Refining our Product will ensure that it is durable, efficient, and practicable for large-volume fishing.
Our common stock was previously quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "LAHO.OB." The shares of our common stock have ceased being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and now trade on what is commonly called the grey sheets under the symbol "LAHO.PK." We presently do not have an active trading market but plan to work with a market maker to bring us back on the OTC Bulletin Board.
As of November 30, 2009, we had forty (40) shareholders of record.
We intend to continue the development and refinement of our Product over the coming months. We will first focus on our experiments to improve the quality of our Product to increase its appeal to fishing equipment retailers. We feel our final Product will compete effectively in the marketplace due to its advanced extension capability, durability, high-functioning ability at rapid sailing speed, and overall large output potential relative to similar products in the marketplace.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $10,000 for the year ended November 30, 2009, as compared with $45,000 for the year ended November 30, 2008. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $59,000 for the period from November 13, 2007 (Inception) to November 30, 2009. The entire amount for each mentioned period was attributable to professional fees. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to undertaking development of our Product and the professional fees associating with being a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
We incurred a net loss in the amount of $10,000 for the year ended November 30, 2009, as compared with $45,000 for the year ended November 30, 2008. We incurred a net loss in the amount of $59,000 for the period from November 13, 2007 (Inception) to November 30, 2009. Our losses for each period are attributable to operating expenses together with a lack of any revenues.
As of November 30, 2009, we had total current assets of $0 cash. Our total current liabilities as of November 30, 2009 were $16,000. As a result, we have a working capital deficit of $16,000 as of November 30, 2009.
Operating activities used $59,000 in cash for the period from inception (November 13, 2007) to November 30, 2009. Our net loss of $59,000 for this period was the sole component of our negative operating cash flow. We primarily relied on cash from the sale of our common stock and loans to fund our operations during the period ended November 30, 2009.
We have limited working capital and have not yet received revenues from sales of products. These factors have caused our accountants to express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The table below summarizes all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to both to our officers and to our directors for all services rendered in all capacities to us for our fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.
The table below summarizes all unexercised options, stock that has not vested, and equity incentive plan awards for each named executive officer as of November 30, 2009.
The percentage shown is based on denominator of 2,150,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding for the company as of November 30, 2009.
Incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed on December 28, 2007.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lans Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 13, 2007 (date of inception) to November 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lans Holdings, Inc. as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 13, 2007 (date of inception) to November 30, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 4. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Lans Holdings, Inc. ("LANS") is a development stage company and was incorporated in Nevada on November 13, 2007. The Company is developing hexagon fishing nets to manufacture and sell to fishing equipment retailers primarily in Southeast Asia. LANS operates out of office space owned by a director and stockholder of the Company. The facilities are provided at no charge. There can be no assurances that the facilities will continue to be provided at no charge in the future.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under generally accepted acounting principles for development stage enterprises. A development-stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
LANS considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, respectively, the Company had $0 of cash.
LANS's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and an amount due to an officer. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
LANS does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
The amount due to officer of $16,000 and $6,000 at November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, respectively, consisted of amounts owed to an officer of the Company for amounts advanced to pay for professional services provided by the Company's outside independent auditors for services rendered. The amount is unsecured, due upon demand, and non-interest bearing.
For the periods ended November 30, 2009, LANS has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $59,000 at November 30, 2009, and will expire beginning in the year 2027.
LANS has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not yet received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of LANS to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management's plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The Company's management has analyzed its operations subsequent to November 30, 2009 through the date these financial statements were submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Ask A Scientist: How Does the Microenvironment Affect Dendritic Cell Function?
Posted on December 7, 2017 December 6, 2017 by Anne Lodge
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a family of immune cells with a central role in directing and maintaining the balance of our immune system. On one end, DCs are efficient antigen-presenting cells and activators of immune effectors, such as T cells and B cells, in response to foreign bodies such as pathogens, mismatched tissue transplant, and tumors. On the other end, DCs are equipped with mechanisms to induce tolerance to "self" antigens and to bring activated immune responses back to a steady state once they are no longer needed.
Both roles are crucial in maintaining immune equilibrium, as failure in the former can lead to uncontrollable infection or tumor growth, while a breakdown in the latter can cause widespread inflammation or autoimmune diseases.
How Do DCs Know Which Role to Take?
Signals from the surrounding cells (often termed the "microenvironment") play a big role in determining the nature of the immune response driven by DCs. For example, when DCs encounter pathogens or other signals associated with "danger" such as inflammatory cytokines or products of damaged tissues, they undergo an activation/maturation process whereby they acquire the capability to activate the immune response.
Conversely, in the presence of anti-inflammatory factors such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), IL-10, or corticosteroids, DCs become a poor T cell activator, or in some cases inducer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) that in turn inhibit and prevent the proliferation of effector T cells.
Dendritic Cells in Immunology & Inflammation Research
The sensitivity of DCs to the polarizing stimuli discussed above has made these cells a research emphasis in both the immuno-oncology (IO) and inflammation/autoimmunity fields.
In IO, the tumor microenvironment contains many factors that affect DC function. Some factors — such as tumor-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and gangliosides — affect DC differentiation from CD34+ progenitor cells. Other factors — such as IL-6, IL-10, prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2), and TGF-β — suppress DC activation.
Efforts to block or reverse these suppressive effects are hot topics in IO research. DCs are also at the center of inflammation/autoimmunity research for their role in the generation of inflammatory Th17 cells, as one example.
Getting the Dendritic Cells You Need
In humans, DCs represent only 0.1%–0.5% of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood, which previously limited the use of human DCs. Since the development of methods for generating DCs in vitro from more abundant precursors, such as monocytes, human DCs are available in large quantities and are a valuable tool in both IO and inflammation research.
Our human DCs are generated using the classic method of culturing monocytes in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. We also have mouse DC that are generated from bone marrow cells. Whether you work in the mouse system or with human cells, we have what you need ready to use in your experiments.

Future US Navy destroyer 'John Finn' completes first set of sea trials
The future U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS John Finn (DDG 113) completed initial builder's sea trials on August 30 following three days at sea.
The Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) ship, built at HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division, spent three days in the Gulf of Mexico testing the ship's main propulsion system and other ship systems.
DDG 113 is planned to return to sea later next month for a second round of sea trials prior to a third underway period with members of the U.S. Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey.
During this underway period, many of the ship's systems were tested to demonstrate that they are installed properly and are operational. John Finn successfully conducted a full power run and demonstrated key communication, damage control, and navigation systems as well as various hull, mechanical and electrical, and propulsion applications.
The ship is 509 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 59 feet, and a navigational draft of 31 feet. According to the Navy, four gas turbine engines will power the ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots.
"The DDG 51 program has been the backbone of our shipyard for nearly three decades," said Ingalls Shipbuilding president Brian Cuccias. "Getting DDG 113 underway is a significant milestone in this program, and we are looking forward to continuing our legacy of building these quality, complex ships for our U.S. Navy customer."
Ingalls has delivered 28 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to the U.S. Navy. Other destroyers currently under construction at Ingalls include Ralph Johnson (DDG 114), Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) and Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121). Construction on Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123) is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2017.

Another Nail In Coffin Of U.S. Empire
Blowback in spades for Obama's CIA engineered and financed coup in Ukraine
The economic union signed this week between Russia and its near neighbors, Belarus and Kazakhstan, spells another nail in the coffin of the waning US global hegemony.
CIA murderers blow yet another attempted coup
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed off on the Eurasian Economic Union in the Kazakh capital, Astana, along with his counterparts, Alexander Lukashenko and Nursultan Nazarbayev.
There was evident, sincere camaraderie between the three leaders. Putin called the new union a "landmark of historic significance" while the Kazakh leader Nazarbayev declared "a new geopolitical reality of the 21st century is born."
This is no exaggeration. The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), which comes into effect in January 2015, is another sign of the paradigm shift in the global economy and international relations. This shift heralds the rise of the European-Asian axis and the further demise of the crumbling US-dominated West.
The signing of the EEU this week follows the strategic energy partnership between Russia and China that came into being last week. The latter entails the coupling of the world's biggest oil and gas producer with the globe's largest market.
Of crucial importance, these Eastern alignments integrate not just energy, but wider aspects of trade, finance and military alliance. Moreover, the gradual integration is outside the US dollar system and thus will greatly undermine the long-abused American hegemony over the rest of the world.
End result of Obama's "redline diplomacy"
The Eurasian pivot in world affairs embodied by the signing in Astana this week is not an isolated moment.
It represents a dynamic of huge re-orientation, away from the US-dominated West.
Other countries that are aiming to join the EEU include the former Soviet states of Armenia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. In a few years' time, it is not difficult to foresee how this oil and gas-rich region could evolve into a new energy bloc that would eventually oust the Saudi-dominated OPEC cartel. OPEC is a lynchpin in the US dollar monopoly over international trade.
As President Putin noted this week, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan constitute 20 and 15 per cent of the world's gas and oil reserves. That strategic importance will only grow ever more, with the likely addition of other neighboring states to the EEU.
This Eurasian alliance could also in the near future include other energy giants, such as Iran and Azerbaijan. All these countries share common cultural heritages and they share common political and philosophical values of mutual respect for each other's nations. This broad alliance is a natural development and one that eclipses the waning
Western hegemony that is based on exploitation, deceit, treacherous subversion, militarism and the outrageous dollar racket.
The Eurasian Economic Alliance born this week has been three years in the making ever since Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan first began the Customs Unionprocess at the end of 2011. The political vision behind the project is totally different from the failing European Union or the Washington-led capitalist West, both of which serve elite profiteering and not the mass of people.
The EEA is based on mutual sovereignty and a genuine partnership to develop economies and societies along democratic principles, led by governments that are committed to serve the good of their people – as opposed to the Western servility to an elite financial oligarchy. The EEA is a government-planned management of agriculture, commerce, energy, labor and capital to serve the interests of social development and the needs of the real economy.
This is why, of course, Washington is quaking-scared about the kind of strategic union forming between Russia and its neighbors.
Without any credible rationale, Washington is claiming that Putin is trying to revive the old Soviet Union. Why that should be particularly objectionable is not explained by the Americans. And anyway, who is Washington to presume to speak for the countries of Eurasia? If the latter want to join with Russia, that is their own business over their sovereign affairs. But the exceptionally arrogant Washington does not understand or deserve democratic respect.
In December 2012, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said of the proposed EEU, "It's not going to be called that [USSR]. It's going to be called customs union, it will be called the Eurasian union and all of that, but let's make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and we are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it." Well, the American rulers are still trying to figure out effective ways of preventing the new realignment in global relations. The current US state-sponsored terrorism in Syria and Ukraine are part of this nefarious effort of sabotaging. But Washington will find that it is not just swimming against the tide of history; it is drowning.
The Eurasian Economic Union signed this week is another nail in Washington's coffin as it sinks inexorably to a watery grave. Good riddance.

Minister Suggests Extra One Year Of Re-schooling For University Graduates
The Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Anwukah, has put ahead a proposal for Nigerian college students to spend further yr in specialised establishments after commencement to make them employable.
This was through the ongoing Retreat for Governing Councils of Nigerian Federal Universities, organized by the National Universities Commission (NUC) with the theme, "Elements of Statutory Governance, Procurement and Financial Accounting in Nigerian Universities."
He mentioned the suggestion was being made as a result of many college graduates weren't adequate to be employed by industries.
"Law students attend Law School for one year before going for NYSC and medical students go for one year Houseman ship before they are allowed to practice fully, so it will be necessary for other courses to also go through this process," Mr Anwukah mentioned.
"The Lagos Business School can also serve as a one year after-school training," he added.
The additional acknowledged that the commercial traing that was launched into the University system to bridge this hole has failed in doing that.
Reacting to this, Professor of Developmental Education, University of Abuja, Prof Salisu Ingawa mentioned that isn't the answer and it might by no means work on account of the truth that it will likely be price intensive and should take a very long time to be carried out.
Also a professor of communication at Bayero University Kano, (BUK) Prof Umaru Pate mentioned it may be troublesome however that, it's best however the implementation goes to be problematic.
Prof Pate mentioned the industries to absolve the graduate once they come is probably not available and that would imply that the candidates must line up for them to be absolved.

Airzone HVAC Services carries a complete line of furnaces from the top three manufacturers in Ottawa; Amana, American Standard, and Lennox. Having had the choice of almost any supplier in the industry, we have chosen these three because we believe that they represent the best quality, efficiency, and value for our clients.
Choosing the correct furnace for your home can be a challenge with all of the products available. We would be happy to provide you with expert advice on which system would work best in your home through our FREE home consultation program.
Our team of certified high efficiency furnace experts are highly trained to properly size your furnace and provide more information about the furnace products available to you.
HAS YOUR FURNACE BEEN RED TAGGED? WE OFFER A FREE SECOND OPINION!
With the recent addition of American Standard to our furnace manufacturer lineup AirZone HVAC Services is now able to offer consumers in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley an extensive line of furnace products to meet almost any heating need.
One furnace in particular has consistently stood out from the crowd and is currently our most purchased Ottawa heater. This product is the American Standard S9V2 High Efficiency Variable Speed Furnace.
Let us start by saying this is one good looking product! Maybe it's because we are in the industry, but we find that this furnace is a heater that you will want to show off to your friends! Two UV shields are placed on the unit. One provides a view of the burner, and one shows the self diagnostic screen. This Ottawa furnace product really stands out from the crowd!
Of course looks aren't everything… It's what is inside that really counts. American Standard is one of the top brands when it comes to reliability and performance. One of the most popular features of the S9V2 is it's best in class air production per watt. The benefit here is that hard to heat rooms in your home will be more equalized due to the Panasonic Vortex motor. This means less temperature compensation (rooms are too hot to make far away rooms comfortable) and much greater efficiency.
Another highlight of the S9V2 furnace is the heaters ability to provide constant comfort. This Ottawa furnace offers a comfort range of only 1 degree. This is compared to 2.5 degrees with our AMEC furnace product. Imagine less temperature fluctuations and consistent heating… This almost always leads to a better nights rest without having to put the blankets on and off as the furnace operates.
If you are looking for a furnace with best in class blower, dazzling appearance, constant comfort, and don't want to blow the budget on the top of the line SLP98V, this is the furnace for you! It's why it is our most popular Ottawa heater right now.
Interested in the Most Efficient Furnace?
If you want the most efficient furnace, you are looking for a modulating variable speed furnace.
A reduced noise level due to the motor running at a lower speed.
Better air circulation in your home – including during the summer when paired with an air conditioner or heat pump.
A reduction in utility costs.
An improvement in indoor air quality.
Remote diagnostics when paired with a communicating thermostat.
Our furnace installation services is the best in the business! We use highly qualified employees for our installations to ensure quality. Our annual maintenance programs help you to save money every month on your utility bills, maintain your furnace warranty, and help to avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown.

Our trucks are stocked with the most common repair parts for all brands of furnaces installed in the greater Ottawa area. This allows for a faster repair service. Our furnace protection packages provide easy low monthly installments and scheduled service so you never miss a furnace maintenance. They also help you to save money through discounted services!
Our most popular entry level Ottawa furnace right now is the high efficiency Amana AMEC96 furnace. There is a long list of reasons that this furnace has been flying off of our shelves in Ottawa and the Valley, and we have included some of the highlighted benefits below.
Two Stage Gas Valve: This furnace is capable of operating in three different states (Off, Low Speed, and High Speed). By utilizing the lower speed this furnace delivers exceptional high efficiency operation and a significant improvement in indoor air comfort when compared to a single stage product. The furnace typically operates at the low speed when the higher speed is not needed. The high speed is able to deliver powerful heating during the coldest of days.
Quiet Operation: This furnace has special sound dampening insulation resulting in a quieter operation. A heavy gauge steel shell and sound isolated blower assembly help to lower the operating noise of this heater. This is further reduced when operating in low mode. Enjoy great performance at a great price without being bothered by all the noise that a non-insulated furnace will create.
Rebate Qualification: An important consideration when choosing a furnace is to take advantage of any rebates available. Due to it's high efficiency rating, this AMEC96V Amana furnace qualifies for the IESO 250 rebate.
Amana Quality at a GREAT Price: Amana is a very well know manufacturer of high efficiency furnace products and is very popular in Ottawa and the Valley. In fact, many HVAC experts consider Amana to produce the best value of furnace when considering performance and price. Amana offers a great entry level product that is perfect for first time homebuyers, rental units, and consumers looking to purchase a great furnace at a great low price.
To learn more about this furnace please download the brochure by using the following link: Amana AMEC96 Furnace Brochure.
Our clients in Ottawa and the Valley love this furnace due to it's perfect balance of efficiency, price, and quality.
Did you know that you may receive a discount if you are considering a combo purchase? There are many benefits to having your furnace and air conditioner installation completed at the same time! Ask us about how you can save by having a new furnace and air conditioner installed at the same time. This type of combo installation is ideal because it offers the least inconvenience for the homeowner. You will also receive the benefit of having new heating and cooling equipment installed that works together a part of an optimized system. This results in the most energy saving benefits alongside an increase in home comfort and precision temperate control.
We take our role as a leader in furnace installations very seriously. Our company was built with a customer first approach. In order to exceed our client's expectations, we provide ongoing in house furnace installation training to our installers in addition to their certifications. We also maintain our high standards by following installation checklists to ensure that every detail is taken care of in a professional manner. Our furnace installers are expected to leave your home as clean as it was (or cleaner) before they arrive with as small an inconvenience as possible for the homeowner and residents. We have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau along with a large history of positive reviews on Homestars, Google Places and Facebook. We encourage our customers to search our name to view recent reviews about our company. We are proud of our high quality furnace installation history and our dedication to customer service!
Did you know that AirZone has a very large coverage area? We supply, install, repair, and maintain furnaces across the greater Ottawa area including the Ottawa Valley all the way up to Deep River. Our most popular installation areas include Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, Gloucester, Barrhaven, Pembroke, and Petawawa. By offering such a large coverage area we keep a large fleet of vehicles in different locations to ensure speedy service.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency is a rating that allows to to understand how efficient a furnace is performing in terms of efficiency. Consider every 1 dollar you spend on heating your home. A furnace with an AFUE rating of 96% would provide 96 cents of usable heat out of the dollar spent. This is an easy way to analyze and compare furnaces with different efficiency ratings. We recommend furnaces that have at least a 96% AFUE ratings since these products often qualify for additional government rebates (versus lower efficiency models).
Ductwork is often forgotten when considering a home heating system. Your furnace supplies air throughout your home via a series of ducts. If these ducts are leaking you may be spilling air into the wrong spots in your home. A common problem indicator is when rooms that are further away are much colder than rooms close to the furnace. Also, a poorly designed duct system may restrict airflow resulting in poor heating equality. This usually leads to a homeowner turning up their furnace to compensate for the colder rooms. This reduces your home efficiency and makes certain rooms less comfortable.
A new furnace will not fix ductwork issues. Instead, make sure to analyze your ducting system when considering your home's efficiency and comfort. Products such as fan boosters can help to equalize heating in your home, and duct sealing is always a good option to improve efficiency and duct performance.
Due to our broad coverage area across Eastern Ontario, we deal with a lot of oil furnaces. Furnaces that use oil as a fuel are becoming less and less common due to their operational cost. For customers outside of the city, propane is a much more affordable alternative. In order to make the switch from oil to propane a conversion must be completed. Once done, your will see a very large reduction in fuel costs. Oil to propane conversions is one of our most popular services across the Ottawa Valley.
For clients living in the Ottawa area, natural gas is the best choice for a high efficiency furnace. The availability of natural gas in your area usually decides whether you will have a natural gas or propane furnace installed in your home.
The first thing you should do when considering a new furnace for your home is have your equipment sized correctly. British Thermal Units (BTU) provide a measurement of the amount of heat generated from your furnace (output). Residential furnaces are available from 40,000 BTU all the way up to 120,000 BTU. This is one of the most important reasons to choose an expert heating company who will size your system correctly.
A under-powered furnace will result in rooms that are warmer and colder throughout the home. Further, a furnace that is not pushing enough warm air has to work that much harder. This will result in a furnace with a reduced lifespan along with higher utility costs. By having your furnace properly sized, it will perform as it should providing much more consistent heating throughout your home.
AirZone has extensive experience with properly sizing residential furnaces across Ottawa and the Valley. Contact us today for a free estimate on a new furnace even if you are just looking for a second opinion.
A common question we receive from our customers is when they should replace their furnace. Most often, homeowners wait until the last minute to have their furnace replaced. This is usually when they are facing a large repair bill or their furnace has stopped working completely. There are many factors to consider when deciding on the right time to replace your heating equipment.
Furnace Efficiency – If you have a furnace that is 12 years or older it may be time to start considering the benefits of a new heater. Older furnaces require a lot more resources to run and technological innovations have made new furnace products exceptionally efficient. The cost of a new furnace can be offset by the energy savings. This is also something to consider if you are financing you new heating product since the monthly cost is reduced by savings on your utility bill.
Repair Cost – Before you go ahead with a costly repair, take the time to consider how long your furnace should operate. There is a breaking point where you will be throwing away money with furnace repairs and instead should consider a new heater. We can help calculate this for you to show you the right time to move on to new equipment.
Furnace Age – A broken down furnace almost always results in a higher cost than if you plan a new installation. By planning your furnace purchase ahead of time, you can take advantage of dealer promotions, government incentives, and avoid an emergency heating call. By being proactive with your furnace installation you are sure to save and not be inconvenienced by a broken down product.
As an Ottawa Heating leader, we are proud of the reputation we have built. We maintain a 5 star rating on Google and Facebook, along with our A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau. We have earned this reputation through high quality furnace installations by consistently delivering heaters that are both durable and long lasting. Our high efficiency furnace installations are done by expert installers that are directly employed by AirZone.
When it comes to choosing a Ottawa Heating company, look no further than AirZone for a high quality furnace installation done right the first time. This is backed by our guaranteed quality along with a labour warranty directly from our company.
Due to our high volume, we have some of the best prices in the city on quality furnaces and accessories! Most of our furnaces are ENERGY STAR® qualified, meaning they can significantly lower your utility bills when compared to conventional models. For optimal comfort and efficiency, a gas furnace can be combined with an electric heat pump in one dual-fuel system.

At TitleMax, we recognize that purchasing a home is the largest and most important financial transaction most people will ever undertake. At every level, your interests and expectations are our primary concern.
Upon receipt of a request from your agent, your lender or yourself, we will send you our information letter, which can be found here. This letter provides detailed information about the closing process and includes a Purchaser Information Sheet and a House Location Approval Form, which you will need to complete and return. You may return the Information Sheet and House Location Approval Form to us via email (please call to obtain our email address, (410) 286-8686), or via fax at (410) 286-8689.
There are many professionals and steps involved in the settlement process. TitleMax will provide the title commitment to your lender, schedule the closing and arrange for preparation and delivery of your closing documents. Your lender will notify you of any "loan approval conditions." If you are required to payoff loans or credit cards, we must be provided with Payoff Statements and addresses for remitting payment. Your lender may also provide you with special instructions in regards to additional documents required at closing. We will require Certified Funds or a Wire Transfer for the balance of your down payment and closing costs. Please contact us directly for our wiring instructions. We will also need a government issued photo ID which has not expired.
*Certified funds are required for any dollar amount less than $5,000.00. A wire is required for any dollar amount exceeding $5,000.00.

Your lender will require that you purchase for their protection a Lender's Policy of Title Insurance. You will be offered an opportunity to purchase Owner's Title Insurance, which protects your interest and equity in the property. Your owner's policy is purchased at settlement and is part of the closing costs. There are no annual renewal premiums and coverage lasts as long as you or your heirs have an interest in the property. The basic owner's policy ensures your undisputed ownership and against undisclosed liens on the property. The ALTA Homeowner's Policy is an enhanced policy which can generally be issued on residential property. The premium is slightly higher, but coverage is expanded to include post settlement issues, which include forgery, mechanics liens, the forced removal of an existing structure, forced compliance with existing restrictions, and encroachments which may occur after your acquisition.

The Deed and How You "Hold Title"
There are several ways in which you can hold title to your property. These title characteristics determine what happens to the property if one of the owners dies or commits an act which would "sever" the tenancy. Click here for a Real Estate Ownership Synopsis and Tenancy Comparison Information.
If you are taking title as an "Entity", certain documents must be reviewed to ensure that the organization has the authority to purchase and encumber real property. With respect to corporations, limited partnerships, LLCs and LLPs, a failure to properly register with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) may negate that authority until the entity is "in good standing" with the state. We will require verification as to who is authorized to execute documents on behalf of the organization, as well as a resolution authorizing the transaction. Click here for a list of documents for each type of entity.

Supporting enterprise – we make our first loan

The death of Aaron Swartz on 11 January 2013 has raised public awareness of the issue of access to academic publishing. Swartz, the internet entrepreneur behind Reddit, followed the Gates/Zuckerberg path of dropping out of a prestige university to found an internet company which then made him millions. After selling Reddit, Swartz started campaigning for freedom of information on the internet. One of his actions was to download the entire content of JSTOR, one of the most comprehensive databases of academic articles, with the intention of making the material freely available. His gripe was that JSTOR charges universities considerable sums for access to the articles, but instead of remunerating the academics who wrote the material, payment is made to the publishers. His action led to JSTOR's recent announcement that it will extend public access to articles. Swartz settled with JSTOR, but he was being pursued in a criminal case, with the prosecution asking for a jail sentence of 35 years. There is considerable speculation that this case led to his suicide.
Those who work in academe are under considerable pressure to publish books or articles in refereed journals. Their publication rate is one of the key factors in obtaining funding and promotion, so academics willingly submit, without payment, articles to journals in the hope that this will raise their profile. The journals are published commercially, often by large publishing houses such as Reed Elsevier and Springer Verlag, which bear the costs of editing, printing and dissemination. Of course, some of these latter costs have been much reduced by the advent of the internet, but they still charge universities considerable sum for online access to the journals, often through a database such as JSTOR or Project Muse.
Academics are beginning to look for different ways of disseminating their work. One such initiative is Open Book Publishers, started by a small team of Cambridge academics. They describe their mission as follows:
We are in the midst of what journalists are calling an "academic spring". Researchers are realising that the high cost of academic books and journals means that only a select readership can access their work. Open Access (that is, making texts free to read online) helps spread educational materials to everyone, globally, not just to those who can afford it.
So what is all this to do with the Progress Foundation? We focus on supporting charities which work with young people, so Open Book Publishing sounds rather outside our normal run of activities. We have become increasingly interested in enterprise and preparing young people to take on economic roles in society, whether in employment or running their own business. We are founder supporters of Next Big Thing, which takes enterprise training into schools. We are also supporting New Horizon Youth Centre to launch a new enterprise project, which will include training and experience in running a youth-led enterprise. One of our trustees is a member of the Venturesome and has pioneering experience in the social investment market.
This led us to conclude that we should dip a toe in the social investment market, both to learn from experience and also to demonstrate our commitment to enterprise. Open Book Publishers found themselves in a position encountered by many charities and social enterprises – they had a promising model but needed to recruit to make it work. Since the recruitment needed to come before the income, they were worried about cash flow. We have therefore provided them with a small borrowing facility which allowed them to recruit with confidence. Our goal was to help Open Book Publishers develop their activities and allow them time to become self-sustaining. A further goal is for us to learn about managing social investments. We are not currently looking to make this a major strand of our work but we think that helping Open Book Publishers is in line with our support of enterprise and innovation.

Securing new work or business these days can be tough, especially considering many people wanting access to their goods or services immediately, yet payment for said goods or services to be broken down into instalments. It is because of this that businesses often find themselves stepping into potential financial landmines in doing work-before-pay transactions. What if your Debtor defaults on a Credit Agreement Payment? Is there a way to inform them that you are serious about getting what is rightfully due to you while still allowing a possible business relationship to continue after the debt has been paid?
A Letter of Demand can be used to provide a Debtor with written notice that they have defaulted on payment. As per Section 129 of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 (the 'Act), as amended, a Letter of Demand is to be issued and delivered to a Debtor before any further formal legal proceedings can be instituted. In terms of the content, this notice would serve as an indication to the Debtor as to the amount outstanding and the reasoning therefore. Section 129 of the Act also stipulates that such a letter draws the Debtor's attention to alternative options such as the use of a Debt Counsellor, Alternative Dispute Resolution Agent, the use of the Consumer Court or Ombudsman, with the intention of seeking out a mutually satisfying resolution to bring payments up to date.
Furthermore, the Act as per Section 130, stipulates that a Court may only be approached to enforce a Credit Agreement if a Debtor has been in default for a period of at least 20 business days and at least 10 business days have passed since the Letter of Demand was delivered. The Court may not allow any formal proceedings to be instituted if the Debtor has referred the matter to a Debt Counsellor, Alternative Dispute Resolution Agent or if the matter is before the Consumer Court or Ombudsman with the proper jurisdiction. If no such scenario exists, the Court will then be able to contemplate the necessary facts as well as look for satisfaction that such Debtor was properly notified of their indebtedness before allowing property to be attached to satisfy the outstanding debt.
A Letter of Demand can therefore be a great tool for a business to use in order to collect outstanding debt. On the one hand it does not have any final consequence attached to it except for informing the Debtor of his indebtedness. This would allow for a grace period whereby the Debtor would be able to address any arrears and restore the working relationship between the parties without feeling judicial pressure. On the other hand, if the Debtor continues to fail to address such arrears, the Letter would be able to help inform the Court that the Debtor was made aware of this and still chose to ignore or refute payments, avoiding any unfair action to be taken against them.

Last evening while watching Dancing With the Stars, Seven kept trying to help me quilt. I persevered and got 1/4 of the first block quilted. When I got up, I sat the whole thing on the floor and went about my business. When I came back in, Seven was on top of the quilt 'inspecting' it as part of her duties as QCC – Quality Control Cat.
After the photo session, I moved the quilt.
Well at least Seven is working hard being the QCC.

Robat-i Sharaf (also Robat-e Sharaf), a historical building in northeast Iran, was a caravanserai on the road between Nishapur (present-day Neyshabur, Iran) and Merv (present-day Mary, Turkmenistan).
As one of the main caravanserais on Silk Road, Robat-i Sharaf dates back to the reign of Sultan Sanjar in 1154 (Seljuk Era, 1037-1194).
Unlike the usual caravanserais, used by ordinary people, Robat-i Sharaf was a palace-like caravanserai used by royals as well. It has two courtyards: The first one for serving units and keeping animals and the inner yard for accommodating of the king, his wives and other officials.
Robat-i Sharaf Caravanserai, referred to as Abgineh Caravanserai in historical texts, is an eye-catching building in the middle of desert, built with brick and plaster. Besides accommodation units and four terraces with cruciform architecture around each yard, the caravanserai has mosques, stalls and a pool in inner yard.

One day work is hard, and another day it is easy; but if I had waited for inspiration I am afraid I should have done nothing. The miner does not sit at the top of the shaft waiting for the coal to come bubbling up to the surface. One must go deep down, and work out every vein carefully.

The theatre is not the place for the musician. When the curtain is up the music interrupts the actor, and when it is down the music interrupts the audience.

I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening's experiments – astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever! … I think it is the most wonderful thing that I have ever experienced, and I congratulate you with all my heart on this wonderful discovery.

As hot weather blankets California., many homeowners are turning on their air conditioners for the first time only to find they do not work.
Faced with potentially lofty repair bills, homeowners must decide whether to repair or replace their condensing units, which is not an easy decision.
HVAC contractors like Valley are the go-to experts on the subject and there a number of factors they must consider before making recommendations to homeowners. The type of repair is a factor - there's a big difference between replacing a contactor or capacitor versus a reversing valve or compressor. We also look at whether the unit utilizes R-22 or R-410A, the time of year, how long a repair would help the customer this year and the age and condition of the system. If the system is very old and not in good shape, we may recommend replacing it. If it's newer and just needs a part, then repairing is the answer. Lastly, we consider the homeowner's financial options and whether you are looking for the best solution or a quick fix. Age, repair history and the cost of the repair usually determine whether we recommend replacement over repair.
While replacement of just the condensing unit is possible, we may recommend replacing the entire system rather than one component.
We generally don't suggest replacing just the outdoor unit. We typically sell the outdoor unit and the coil together, so the indoor coil is replaced at the same time as that outdoor unit and we suggest that customers purchase this option over replacing just the condensing unit or coil by themselves because we put a warranty on these systems. The outdoor unit and the coil work together to provide comfort, efficiency and reliability so we recommend replacing both at the same time. Sometimes a customer will prefer to replace only the coil to save money. And then, a few months later, the compressor goes and then they have another problem. We talk to customers about these conditions and what could happen if we just piecemeal the system together. The band-aid option is generally not the best solution in the long run.
Homeowners are generally getting more estimates from different companies than they did during the Great Recession.
Back in 2004-2005, when people felt really good about the economy, they were getting two, maybe three estimates. Once the recession hit around 2009, customers were requesting more estimates. When the economy is bad, people tend to be less proactive when it comes to replacements and they tend to act with an as-needed replacement mind-set.
Consumers today are more aware and interested in the benefits of higher efficiency furnaces and air conditioners, app-driven systems and those that complement today's connected homes. These are factors that encourage our customers to choose replacement over costly repairs more frequently.
