In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for Hodgkin's lymphoma may include:
Blood and urine tests.
X-rays of the chest – a diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones and organs onto film.
Lymph node biopsy – a sample of tissue is removed from the lymph node and examined under a microscope.
Computed tomography scan of the abdomen, chest and pelvis (also called a CT or CAT scan) – a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Lymphangiogram – dye is injected into lymphatic system to determine the extent of lymphatic involvement in areas that are otherwise difficult to visualize.
Bone marrow biopsy/aspiration – a procedure that involves a small amount of bone marrow fluid and tissue to be taken, usually from part of the hip bones, to further examine the number, size and maturity of blood cells and/or abnormal cells.
How is Hodgkin's lymphoma staged?
Staging is the process of determining whether cancer has spread and, if so, how far. There are various staging systems that are used for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Always consult your child's physician for information on staging. One method of staging Hodgkin's lymphoma is the following:
Stage I – usually involves a single lymph node region or structure.
Stage II – involves two or more lymph node regions or structures on the same side of the body.
Stage III – involves lymph node regions or structures on both sides of the body and is further classified depending on the organs and areas involved.
Stage IV – involves the disease in other areas (metastasis), in addition to the lymphatic system involvement.
Stages also are noted by the presence or absence of symptoms of the disease:
Asymptomatic (A)
Symptomatic (B)
For example, stage IIIB is disease that is symptomatic, involves lymph node regions or structures on both sides of the body and is further classified depending on the organs and areas involved.

The 1958 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 76th in franchise history. The Phillies finished the season in last place in the National League. It was the Phillies third losing season in five seasons, and their fourth losing season during the 1950s.

Offseason
 December 11, 1957: Dave Philley was purchased by the Phillies from the Detroit Tigers.

Spring training
Following their off-season move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, the Dodgers played their first game as the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Phillies at Miami Stadium in the 1958 spring training opener on March 8, 1958. The Phillies won 7 to 4.

Regular season
With the move of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants to California prior to the 1958 season, the Phillies became the closest National League club to New York City, and in response, contracted to broadcast 78 games into the New York metropolitan television market to fill the void in National League games on TV in New York. Al Helfer and Rex Barney called the games for New York's WOR-TV. However, due to competition with games at Yankee Stadium, Phillies games were not able to match the audience for Yankee broadcasts, and thus, they stopped broadcasting games in the New York television market in the 1959 season.

On July 22 with the team sporting a 39–44 record General Manager Roy Hamey fired Manager Mayo Smith rehiring Eddie Sawyer, who led the team to the 1950 World Series.

Q: Statistical Analysis Error? python 3 proof read please The code below generates two random integers within range specified by argv, tests if the integers match and starts again. At the end it prints some stats about the process.
I've noticed though that increasing the value of argv reduces the percentage of tested possibilities exponentially.
This seems counter intuitive to me so my question is, is this an error in the code or are the numbers real and if so then what am I not thinking about?
#!/usr/bin/python3

import sys
import random

x = int(sys.argv[1])
a = random.randint(0,x)
b = random.randint(0,x)

steps = 1
combos = x**2

while a != b:
    a = random.randint(0,x)
    b = random.randint(0,x)
    steps += 1

percent = (steps / combos) * 100
print()
print()

print('[{} ! {}]'.format(a,b), end=' ')
print('equality!'.upper())
print('steps'.upper(), steps)
print('possble combinations = {}'.format(combos))
print('explored {}% possibilitys'.format(percent))

Thanks
EDIT
For example:
./runscrypt.py 100000

will returm me something like:
[65697 ! 65697] EQUALITY!
STEPS 115867
possble combinations = 10000000000
explored 0.00115867% possibilitys

"explored 0.00115867% possibilitys" <-- This number is too low?

A: This experiment is really a geometric distribution.
Ie.
Let Y be the random variable of the number of iterations before a match is seen.  Then Y is geometrically distributed with parameter 1/x (the probability of generating two matching integers).
The expected value, E[Y] = 1/p where p is the mentioned probability (the proof of this can be found in the link above).  So in your case the expected number of iterations is 1/(1/x) = x.
The number of combinations is x^2.
So the expected percentage of explored possibilities is really x/(x^2) = 1/x.
As x approaches infinity, this number approaches 0.
In the case of x=100000, the expected percentage of explored possibilities = 1/100000 = 0.001% which is very close to your numerical result.

When most people think of Dover, two things come to mind: white cliffs and ferries to France. The town centre doesn't really come into the equation – but that is changing.
St James Dover, which opened in March, is helping to breathe new life into the town. Built on the site of a 13-storey office block that had stood empty for a decade, the 157,000 sq ft scheme sits between the town centre and the A20, which leads to the port, and is just a stone's throw from the £200m Western Docks development, plans for which include a new marina, shops, bars and restaurants.
"[St James is on] a very large footprint close to the waterfront. I don't think we'd seen a site in such a good location in a worse state," says Neil Crawford, head of retail and leisure development at Legal & General Investment Management Real Assets, which delivered St James in collaboration with Bond City and Dover District Council.
The council had used compulsory purchase orders to assemble the land and had been trying to facilitate development on the site for more than 20 years. In that time, it had gone through various iterations.
Bond City had been involved since 2002, when it was selected as the preferred bidder for one of the earlier iterations, but a partner with the means to invest was needed to back the scheme.
L&G agreed to forward-fund the project in 2015, by which stage Bond City had begun to clear the site.
Fast-forward three years and much of the retail park is open. Retail tenants include Marks & Spencer (which previously traded from a unit on the high street and had planned to leave Dover before committing to St James), Next and new Iceland concept The Food Warehouse.
The 17 retail units range from 1,200 sq ft to 17,000 sq ft and 10 of the retailers are new to the town. The scheme also includes a six-screen Cineworld cinema, six restaurants, an Anytime Fitness gym and a 108-bed Travelodge hotel.
The scheme was 85% pre-let and a further 10% is under offer. A few smaller units remain available but Crawford expects the scheme to be fully let in three to four months.
Morris says St James is already having a positive impact on the town. This is backed up by footfall figures showing a 77% increase between the week after Christmas and the week after Easter, the month following St James's launch.
Now, rather than drive past the town centre on the way to the port, some of Dover's 30 million annual ferry passengers will have somewhere to stop on their way to France.

Apple drops '4G' from iPad adverts
The iPad's 4G capabilities were played up by Apple at the gadget's launch
Apple has stopped using the phrase 4G in adverts for its latest iPad.
The description proved controversial because 4G is not widely available in the UK and the iPad will not work with it when it is.
The UK's advertising watchdog and others around the world investigated Apple over use of the 4G phrase.
Apple said the confusion arose because of the ways operators refer to different high-speed mobile technologies.
When the newest version of the iPad was launched in March, adverts for the device claimed it would work with 4G, meaning fourth generation, mobile technology. The 4G in question was a technology known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) that was starting to appear in the US.
However, when LTE arrives in Britain, the rest of Europe and many other nations, it will use different frequencies from those in the US, meaning the iPad will not be able to use 4G everywhere.
The disparity led to many complaints. In the UK, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) investigated and won assurances from Apple that its advertising would change.
A spokesman for the ASA said it had started a second investigation after consumers told it that the 4G phrase was still being used to describe the iPad's capabilities.
The ASA had been "working closely" with Apple to amend the way the iPad is advertised, said the spokesman, adding that the consumer electronics firm had been very co-operative during the investigation.
"We will be checking the amendments to ensure they adhere to the Advertising Code," he said.
Apple said the confusion had arisen because of the different high-speed mobile technologies dubbed 4G by operators and carriers.
Apple would change its terminology to remove this confusion, it said.
"Carriers do not all refer to their high speed networks with the same terminology," said the firm in a statement, "therefore we've decided to use 'wi-fi + cellular' as a simple term which describes all the high speed networks supported by the new iPad."
"The advanced wireless features of the new iPad have not changed," it added.

Thumbs up to the members of Fresno State's Army ROTC program who have offered assistance to evacuees of the recent fires in Southern California. We're proud to see these Bulldogs' quick and helpful response.
Thumbs down to FEMA for holding a news conference wherein deputy director of the agency, Vice Adm. Harvey Johnson fielded questions from some of FEMA's own employees. The news conference, which was announced on short notice and so failed to draw any news reporters, has been called even by secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff as "one of the dumbest and most inappropriate things I've seen since I've been in government." We agree.
Thumbs up to "fun size" candy bars. Even if we eat far more of them than we should, at least we feel better about ourselves for their smaller size.
Thumbs down to Bulldogs fans who failed this weekend's test in good sportsmanship. Many fans left the game early, and we've even heard accounts of Fresno State fans cursing at Boise State on their way out. We think that's something to boo about.
"The One-Finger Salute" is culled each week from discussions in The Collegian newsroom.

The microphone and speaker being too close together is often the prime cause for echo.
If you are using a Laptop, this is usually down to the way that laptop are designed with the microphone and speaker being positioned relatively close together. When using both together to in recordings, this will sometimes create an echoing effect.
It could also be caused by having the volume on your speaker being set too high.
The best option is to use a headset, which not only eliminates all echoing, but also improves the overall quality of the sound.
If you use Camtasia or other video edit software to edit the recorded files, it may requires the constant frame rate files. You can enable the option "Use the constant frame rate mode when recording MP4" (at HD Call Recprder Options > Advanced Tab) for creating constant frame rate video files.

On November 24, EXANTE's VP Guntars Pupelis held a meeting with First Qazaq Invest's representatives to discuss the launch of EXANTE's services in Kazakhstan. First Qazaq Invest is one of the biggest investment companies in Kazakhstan.
The opportunities Kazakhstan has to offer attracts brokers from abroad. However, only companies with developed infrastructure and international experience are successful at reaching clients.
Back in October of 2017, EXANTE held a meeting Astana's International Financial Centre. There was an agreement made regarding the development and promotion of Kazakhstan's crypto market. It was not the first meeting with the Kazakh government that demonstrated our understanding and commitment to a common goal.
EU regulation, government support and the opportunity to trade eventually in the national currency are the main advantages EXANTE has to offer to Kazakh investors.
Currently, most of the investors work on KASE, the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange. There are 110 major clients registered there while the potential number of new investors goes beyond the scope of the exchange.
The demand for investments in digital assets has grown since the beginning of the year. However, the market lacked the necessary technological solutions to facilitate the investment process. EXANTE's crypto funds are completely new to Kazakhstan. Thanks to the convenient trading platform, investors get access to thousands of other financial instruments in addition to these funds.
Apart from the affiliate office in Kazakhstan with First Qazaq Invest, EXANTE will open its own offices in Almaty and Astana.
You can open an account, start trading or simply get advice at exante.eu or at our new office in Almaty. It's located at Prospekt Dostyk 104B, Almaty, Kazakhstan.

At the Heart of Free Trade
Here's what the exchange of goods between the U.S. and Canada can teach us about the state of trade today – and its future prospects.
Christoph Atz | UPS
With free trade under relentless attack in certain political circles, it's time for a reality check. We shouldn't shut down borders. The U.S.-Canada trade lane, for example, is proof of the transformative power of the global movement of goods.
The U.S.-Canada story is a story of opportunity, one of neighbors innovating together to tackle challenges requiring collaborative solutions. As goes the United States, so goes Canada – and vice versa.
" It's time for a reality check. We shouldn't shut down borders. "
There are a number of reasons that Canada and the United States rely on one another for future growth.
Canada and the United States share the longest international border in the world. Roughly 90 percent of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border, and for 35 U.S. states, Canada is the No. 1 export destination.
Many people point to the so-called American Dream, but the entrepreneurial spirit on display in Canada is similar in many ways. As the president of UPS Canada, I can attest to this nation's diversity. Canada is an ideal melting pot, inviting people of all backgrounds here to not only chase their business dreams, but to celebrate their ethnicity and continue ties with the nations from which they came.
And trade is often the vehicle that puts the Canadian entrepreneur on the path to global expansion. Here's why that journey so frequently runs through the United States.
[Also on Longitudes: What Does it Mean to Trade in the 21st Century?]
O Canada and Uncle Sam
If you conduct business in multiple locations, you're less at the mercy of your own domestic market. You effectively minimize risk and give yourself greater opportunities to create wealth and additional jobs.
For U.S. businesses, there's tremendous consumer opportunity in Canada with its 36 million people. And in the age of e-commerce, businesses have even more incentive to take the plunge into new markets, especially Canada.
In 2014, retail e-commerce sales in Canada amounted to more than $25 billion, with e-commerce outpacing brick-and-mortar stores.
" Trade expands opportunity. Trade levels the playing field. And trade lays the foundation for innovation. "
By 2019, retail e-commerce sales will reach nearly $50 billion, thanks largely to goods crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. In fact, Canada is ranked fifth in e-commerce sales growth – ahead of the United Kingdom and the United States.
Last year, Canadian e-commerce grew 17 percent, and 43 percent of Canadian e-commerce purchases originated in the United States. Canada remains an importing nation despite the weaker Canadian dollar.
As for further growth, the United States recently increased the de minimis level – the minimum dollar value of qualifying goods below which no formal customs procedures are required and no duties or taxes are collected – from $200 to $800 per inbound shipment. Canada is already a country where U.S. businesses source raw materials required for their product or service, and now that has become less costly.
The Canadian consumer
We're learning more and more about Canadian consumers every day and as an importing nation, there is great opportunity for U.S. businesses.
A UPS commissioned survey of online shoppers in Canada shows that:
Six out of 10 online shoppers prefer to shop with their favorite retailers online.
73 percent of shoppers review a return policy before making a purchase.
76 percent want e-mail notifications with a tracking number.
65 percent of consumers will shop more with a retailer if they offer a hassle-free returns policy.
The most successful companies in this export movement are those that strengthen their supply chains to give their clientele greater value. For this symbiotic relationship to prosper, however, it must get even easier to move goods across the U.S-Canada border.
Customs proceedings, risks, delays and shipment tracking are just some of the challenges that exporters need to see resolved in their foreign trade activities. Knowledge about how to select materials, how to break into new markets and how to analyze export laws and regulations is a growing requirement for all companies.
Single window release, for example, would allow the release of goods without forcing exporters to wait on multiple agencies for clearance. And extending NAFTA certification beyond one year would also reduce bureaucratic red tape creating bottlenecks at the border.
Consumers also want to track their shipment and re-route the package if needed. This is where UPS, which operates in 220 countries and territories, can help.
The UPS Access Point Network gives your customer the option to pick up their order at a location near their home or work, ensuring they don't miss a delivery or risk having the package left at their doorstep. UPS My Choice also gives consumers total control over their deliveries, allowing them to re-route packages as necessary.
Logistics companies like UPS can also help in the following ways:
Ensure compliance by controlling speed and cost of inbound shipments.
Minimize mistaken return shipments to the wrong warehouses or repair centers.
Create and deliver commercial invoices with return labels to international customers.
Forecast volume and adjust staffing around inbound returns.
Link shipment information directly into your customer service or warehouse operations.
Maximize fast recovery of high-value goods, before they become obsolete.
[Also on Longitudes: Reason, Reality and the Future of Trade]
Don't take trade for granted
Early in his first term, U.S. President Barack Obama traveled to Canada and succinctly described the importance of the American-Canadian partnership:
As neighbors, we are so closely linked that sometimes we may have a tendency to take our relationship for granted, but the very success of our friendship throughout history demands that we renew and deepen our cooperation here in the 21st century. We're joined together by the world's largest trading relationship and countless daily interactions that keep our borders open and secure.
Being European myself, I've seen first-hand how trade can transform entire regions of the world. Throughout my career at UPS, I have lived in seven countries and have witnessed the power of free trade.
" The evidence is too overwhelming to suggest otherwise. "
Some of those countries were located in Europe, and the European Union has dramatically broken down borders and red tape, facilitating the seamless movement of goods – the EU has opened doors to future growth.
As we have seen with so-called Brexit, there is opposition to this viewpoint. But as financial markets continue to react negatively to that vote, such sentiment might be revisited.
Ultimately, the important thing to remember is that trade expands opportunity, trade levels the playing field and trade lays the foundation for innovation.
The evidence is too overwhelming to suggest otherwise.

Once we got inside the chateau, it was nothing like the chateau near Tours. First of all there were so many people. Just people everywhere. Second, maybe it is because of our visit near Tours, I just find Versailles pretty boring. Every room is just another room with different color furniture. After fighting through the crowd, we took the early train back to Paris.
After returning from Versailles, Xavier took us for Lamb dinner J'go near the Opera.
oh another wonderful day in Paris… tomorrow… the Museums!!

It begins with "Unang Yakap" or that first skin-to-skin contact with your baby.
This skin-to-skin contact, whether as an embrace, hug, or any expression of physical affection, continues to be vital to your child's well-being as he grows up.
"Higher self-esteem, better parent-child communication, and fewer psychological and behavior problems have been linked to warmth and affection between parent and child," said a report from Child Trends, a nonprofit research organization in the U.S.
Figures from the Child Trends report show that 90% of parents with children 3 years old and below gave their child hugs every day. However, displays of warmth decreased as the child grew up with only 74% of mothers and just 50% of fathers saying they hug their 10- to 12-year-old child.
Science offers evidence how hugging as a habit — even past the preschool years — benefits children. "Scientific studies are always a helpful reaffirmation of how important it is to practice loving-kindness and 'shower the people you love with love,'" said author and coach Christopher Bergland in an article for Psychology Today.
What impact does parental affection have on your child?
1. It helps your child feel less stressed.
Don't you feel your stress and exhaustion melting away after a long day at work when you come home to your child's warm embrace? Your little one feels the same way too.
"Parental warmth and affection protect one against the harmful effects of toxic childhood stress," according to a 2013 study from the University of California, Los Angeles. On the other hand, researchers found that childhood abuse coupled with a lack of parental affection impacts a child's physical and mental health for life, leading to negative consequences like poor health.
2. Affection during playtime makes your child feel loved.
A 2013 study from the University of Missouri-Columbia observed mom-and-child pairs during playtime. Researchers found that moms who showed more affection and used more positive reinforcement during play had a stronger bond with their kids. "Children whose parents spent too much time directing play showed 'more negative feelings' towards their mothers," reported Deseret News.
3. It helps you raise a happier and more mentally stable adult.
The warmth of your hug can last for years and years. In a study from the University of Notre Dame, more than 600 adults were surveyed about how they were raised, and the researchers found good news about affectionate parents.
So, moms and dads, those hugs and kisses go a long way!
Does Your Child Possess the A.Q. Factor?

As We Were: Barber's Historical Collections of Connecticut
There's an old volume of Connecticut history in my collection that I recently had professionally rebound. Its ponderous title is usually abbreviated: Connecticut Historical Collections by John Warner Barber and my early edition was printed in 1838. This is the first in a series of single volume state histories that Barber would produce, and his work established local history as a legitimate and popular field of inquiry in the United States.
Barber's Connecticut history includes descriptions and anecdotes of every Connecticut town then in existence and hundreds of unique wood block engravings of these communities as they were at the height of agriculture and as the industrial revolution was already strongly changing the character of New England. Old, spineless volumes of Barber are routinely stripped of their maps and engravings, but mine had been in the family since an ancestor with an interest in the Olmsted origins of our family purchased it in 1844. There are two obituaries pasted on the the inside of one of the marbled endpapers, including that of my Gr-gr-gr-gr-great grandmother, Esther Ingersoll Olmsted, who was born in Ridgefield CT, married a soldier in the Revolution, and died in St. Louis at the home of her daughter in 1847.
I invested in restoring the binding of this volume as means of preserving it as part of our family archive and also to make it available once more a s a readable reference instead of an age-spotted book held together with string. There are treasures of local interest here as well, and it has much to say about the character of communities in the Litchfield Hills where I live and work today as they were 170 years ago.
Litchfield County has four fewer towns in 1830 than it does today: Bridgewater, Morris, North Canaan and Thomsaton split off from parent communities later in the century. The county population in 1830 was 42,855, compared with more than 180,000 today. The largest town was Litchfield, the county seat, with 4,456 residents. Torrington, by contrast, had 1,651 residents but was poised for explosive growth with the expansion of water powered industry on the Still River and the Naugatuck. By the close of the century, the vast majority of Litchfield Hills residents would be found in the valley mill towns and the population of the agricultural uplands would sharply decline. Only in recent decades has this trend reversed and some of these communities regained their previous population numbers.
Barber writes:
"The principal part of the county is elevated and mountainous. The prevailing soil is a gravelly loam, generally deep, and in many places strong and fertile, and admirably adapted to grazing. The agricultural interests in the county are very respectable. The staple productions consist of cheese, butter, pork and beef. Considerable attention is also paid to the raising of neat cattle and sheep. The manufacture of iron is carried on more extensively in this county than in any other section of the state."
This description conveys a great deal of information about the factors that influenced the growth and development of commercial enterprise in this region, the effects of which are still felt in our landscape and communities today. It is striking as much for what it emphasizes as what it neglects to mention. The region's extensive network of rivers that were already powering mills and industrial development was already starting to gain ground on agriculture and in a few short decades would displace it as the most significant factor in the local economy. Neither are the regions forest resources emphasized, because at this time in our history the land had been extensively cleared, both for charcoal to fuel the iron furnaces and for farms and building material. In his entry for the Town of Norfolk, Barber notes that:
"Formerly large quantities of sugar were made from the maple: more than 20,000 lbs. have been manufactured in a single season; but since the land has been cleared by progressive settlements, and in consequence of the destruction of the maple trees by some tornadoes, the business has generally declined."
Animal husbandry and farm products reliant on grazing rather than row crops dominated the agricultural economy in the 1830s. Sheep in particular were of extreme importance, as Merino wool was produced for Yankee mills. In the 1870s, hoof and mouth disease decimated the sheep herds of western New England, and combined with the rapid loss of its rural population to better farmland in the west or to growing urban centers, those parts of the region not served by rail or water became struggling backwaters. The one product that the East could produce to meet urban demand for perishable goods in large quantities was dairy, and the regions agricultural producers shifted to dairy. The local invention of canned, condensed milk and access to rail ensured that those farms that survived in the Litchfield Hills were dairies. As the dairy economy struggles to persist in our region today, it is worth considering that agriculture has adopted to mew market opportunities here in the past and may do so again, although with considerable trauma and the paramount need for a secure agricultural land base in a time of elevated land values.
The iron manufacturing center of Salisbury, Connecticut had been a mainstay of the industry since the mid-1750s. Local resident Ethan Allen of Revolutionary fame held an interest in Salisbury's first blast furnace. The Ore Hill region of Salisbury was quarried so extensively that it is now a deep lake. The local ore was a brown hematite which yielded 40% pig iron after smelting.
From 5 to 600,000 bushels of charcoal are annually consumed at the different establishments. The puddling furnaces require from 2 to 3,00 cords of wood annually. The number of workmen employed in the different processes of preparing the material and manufacturing the iron, amount to in all about 500 men. The furnaces produce annually from 2,000 to 2,500 tons of pig iron. The forges and puddling establishments annually produce from 1,200 to 1,500 tons of wrought iron, which is used for anchors, car axletrees, musket barrels, and various other kinds of drafts"
Anthracite coal field and steel manufacture shifted the center of the iron industry to Pennsylvania and the Rust Belt of the old Northwest a few decades after Barber described the operations in Salisbury. Today it is a town with classic New England charm and a grant list that just topped $1 billion. The forested uplands that were denuded for charcoal were unsuitable pasture for dairy cattle and are now maturing forests. The changes in the land since Barber's day inextricably linked with human activity, although the regional impacts of distant fossil fuel use, elevated land values, and a rural economy again in transition will have profound influences on its future.

Well worth the money. My disgracefully dirty oven was transformed in a couple of hours. Will use again without a doubt. So much safer to put this unpleasant job in safe hands to avoid chemical splashes and burns from hardware store home use products.
Highly recommended. A very dirty oven magically transformed. The racks are as good as new. None of those dreadful fumes from a home cleaning kit. Would not hesitate in using again. Well worth every penny spent.
Magical transformation. Oven sparkling and the racks look brand new. We'll worth the money spent and will use this service again.
Following a recommendation from my sisters I am delighted with the service your agent in this area has provided.
My oven and hob look like new, thank you very much. Doug was very professional and gave me some good advice. Will recommend and use again.
First class job. Would definitely recommend.
Doug has just cleaned my ovens, hob, microwave and cooker hood, all are looking like new - a great job!
My oven has never looked so clean! A friendly and professional service which I would recommend to anyone.
Many thanks for an excellent and thorough job. Very well done and partner will be pleased.
Thank you so much - Excellent service. Ovens look like new!
What a great service! This is the third time I have had the oven cleaned and it always looks brand new. My cleaner just cant do the same professional job and everything ends up very clean.
Doug has done a great job again. We have used OVENU for about 10 years and always go back to them. Doug himself has been here about 4 times! Thoroughly recommend OVENU for a 'proper job'.
My oven was cleaned today. Doug did an excellent job. My oven now looks brand new, I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends. I would also like to add that the same man cleaned my oven approximately 4 years ago, for that reason I called him again.
I have used the OVENU service now for over 10 years and have found it to be efficient and effective. I shall continue to use it in the future.
Doug is very friendly, efficient and provides an excellent service to a very high standard. I have been using him for many years. Have recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so.
Always pleased with the results. Lovely clean oven.
