Stumbling upon Water Heater City when my water heater sprung a leak was by chance. Got an assessment & the quote to rectify the problem was clearly spelt out - taking a decision to proceed was effortless. Pandian & his team arrived promptly as arranged & fixed the problem neatly & efficiently. What else can I ask? 👍🏻👍🏻

I would like to thank your technician Mr Deb for a job well done at blk 207 toa payoh North for the replacement of my rubbish chute.He had done a great job, and I was surprised that none of my existing wall tiles cracked as I would have expected a few chips and crack as the wall tiles had been more than 50 years.A big thank you for his professionalism. Would recommend others to engage their services for replacement of rubbish chute.

Second time engaging Aru from the company and once again he provided outstanding and speedy service. The job this time was to replace 3 faulty light switches and he did it promptly whilst communicating with us politely. Shoutout to Ms Generose as well who handled the booking and arranging of the job via whatsapp. Communication was a breeze and everything was confirmed and settled quickly. Thank you both for the excellent and fuss free experience!

I sought urgent help to fix my faulty water heater switch on a Sunday. Turned out my water heater electrical switch setup was set up in a non-conventional way, i.e. not 2-way yet involved two switches. Am appreciative that Guna was prepared to troubleshoot and configure the wiring to my original setup, otherwise he could have insisted the normal 1-way switch setup. Thanks, I'm very satisfied customer.

Needed to replace our Storage Water Heater which is hidden inside ceiling. We found their contact after searching on internet and looking at their website and also checking many customer reviews then we decided to reach out and at first we were skeptical because it was the first time we were engaging their services and we could not find any way to talk to them on phone and all conversation was on whatsapp but after requesting them to speak on phone which we managed to do and understood the details of installation as well as warranty and PUB submission process etc. The Installer person Mr. Pandian and his colleague Mr. Anbu were courteous and did great job and answered all our queries too. Thanks. Knowing that installation service is done by licensed plumbers and comes with 1-yr workmanship warranty and PUB submission will be done by Everyworks ensuring that it is safe installation gives us peace of mind. Will be happy to recommend to others and engage their services again in future for any handyman and related services needs. Thank you.

Very impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism by the team here. I was looking for some help to help me install my chin up bar and was lucky to have found the team here! In comparison to others whom i have contacted, their price quoted was reasonable and their response was much faster and more professional and transparent from the point of engagement all the way to fixing the earliest possible appointment for their customers. Fuss free!The second wow moment was with the service technician, Deb, who assisted me with the installation. He arrived on time for the appointment was very experienced and professional. He assessed the best area and position for my chin up bar and ensure minimum mess for the installation!He was also very polite and able to articulate clearly to me on my questions for the installation.I am very impressed with the wholeexperience by the team, from the amazing customer service to the professionalism and experience demonstrated by the service technician who helped to install my bar! KUDOS to the team! Definitely recommend them for handyman services!

I found Everyworks among several handyman service providers through Google. Communications with its customer service representative, Valerie were easy and efficient through WhatsApp. Unlike most others, Everyworks responded in a reasonably prompt manner and I find Everyworks to be the most straightforward and hence, most efficient. Personally, I prefer WhatsApp over calls because I can take my own time and am not under any pressure to reply immediately.I engaged Everyworks to change a faulty water heater switch and Bala was assigned to it on the same day that I enquired. Overall, he did a fantastic job. While he was performing his task, he would share with me what he was doing so I was kept updated throughout the process. I also noticed that he kept his cool and professionalism even when he was facing some unforeseen challenges. I found it slightly amusing that he was extremely particular (almost with OCD inclination) about the final touches, as he ensured the switches that were placed side by side are aligned perfectly.I would reach out to Everyworks again in future for other works and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

I heard phantom flushes in the master bedroom toilet. The water tank auto drained and refilledThere is water on one side of the toilet bowl floor.To isolate the cause, the water supply to the toilet water tank was turned off. I flushed the toilet. Water was drained into the sewer.I opened the cover to the water tank and saw that one of the rubber washers was broken. I decided to call a plumbing company for help with the leaking toilet tank.I really appreciate Kumar and Ladi who fixed the toilet bowl water tank within an hour. They worked hard and did a good job. I will recommend both Kumar and Ladi to anyone who has a plumbing issue.Keep up the good work Kumar and Ladi.Jenny Phua

Needed to drill and mount my pull up bar and A1 handyman never disappoints. Deb was well punctual within the appointment time.First he checked if the wall is suitable for drilling. Second he measured the height to drill and mount the hooks and bar. Third he used a device to scan for any metal pipes and electrical wires inside the wall.Finally he then proceeded to start drilling like a pro. All these completed within a cool 30 minutes. I believe you pay a premium to get a job well done. I'm satisfied with the work, now I can pull and pull and pull.

Overall we are very happy with Bala's service.

Aru has done a good job in replacing my wall fan. He helped me to move away the cabinet that is under the fan location. He is also very precise to cover up the same area as my old fan so the whole wall still looks good after the installation. He even recommended that I change to ceiling fan that comes with light next time. Customer support Ms Generose is also quick in responding with arrangements. Good job!

I engaged Everyworks to replace my storage water heater at my place. After enquiring at several PUB licensed plumbers, their quotation was the lowest. The service personnel was very prompt in answering my queries via WhatsApp and also explained the processes such as the requirement to submit the pipe drawings to PUB, which is a service that is already included. Mijan and his team came down to carry out the installation and they carried out a very decent work. They took extra care in ensuring that the work is carried out cleanly and kept the noise level very low. Totally professional. Will recommend this vendor to anyone for their plumbing needs.

Guna was professional, quick and efficient. He was able to sort out and replace my led light adapters in the kitchen and elsewhere which had conked out in about 30 mins or less. Fees were very reasonable too. Booking process via WA was also painless and everything was explained in advance, so no surprise or hidden fees. Highly recommended.

CSO Kevin is fast and responsive to my water heater queries via WhatsApp 2 days ago and he recommended Mistral MSH303i based on my needs. Technician Casmir arrived within the indicated time and installation is done in less than an hour as he is quite proficient in his work. Will highly recommend it if you want fast and responsive service for your water heater issues.

Selecting a trusted vendor is never easy. More so whether the workman/technician is qualified to install, it depends on the company that sent him. I chose Everyworks because of the excellent customer service's response to my queries. The meticulous of the staff in providing information of the product and installation of the heater to comply with the authorities' requirements had a great part in my decision to choose them from other vendors. A word of thank you to the installer who made the piping looks less intimidating. NICE JOB!

My very BEST experience with a plumbing service! (I was already expecting this because I have used them previously.) Right from the start when I contacted them via WhatsApp, the response was prompt, precise, helpful and courteous. They were very proactive in indicating what documents would be required to submit a PUB application for the installation of the Rheem 23 litres water heater - they even sent reminders until I provided the documents.Then, on the day and time of the appointment, the technician Mijan arrived punctually with and assistant. Mijan worked quietly but very efficiently - protective floor coverings were laid out, the old heater removed very quickly without a mess and the new one installed while I was able to work undisturbed just a few metres away. EXCELLENT and highly professional work by Mijan - when I inspected it later, the new water heater was clean & neat (unlike with other plumbers who leave grubby finger marks all over the area)! Oh, the price ... very good for the quality of the equipment and the level of service - excellent value for money!All in all, I highly recommend Water Heater City (via Everyworks Pte Ltd) for any kind of plumbing work! (Ask Everyworks for any kind of home improvement work!)

My water heater was leaking and need to be replaced. Customer support was very prompt in their response and provided me options based on my current heater's model. Installation was done by Casmir who was able to assess onsite that more manpower was required. Installation was rescheduled and was done quickly and neatly by the team. I'm very satisfied with the result.

"Well I've got good new and bad news."
"What's that?"
"First the bad news: your angiogram demonstrated you've got 80% blockages in two of your three arteries on your angiogram today."
"What's the good news?"
"Well, according to this important trial today I heard about at the American College of Cardiology Meeting, we've just got to put you on five medications, and ask you to take it easy for a while, and you're likely to do fine."
"But what about those 80% blockages, doctor? Isn't that pretty close to 100%? And if it gets to 100%, what happens?"
"Well, I suppose you could have a heart attack. But this study I read about today suggested the same thing might happen if you get a stent, too."
"But doctor, aren't you going to DO ANYTHING about my blockages?"
"Yes, Ms. Jones, I'm going to put you on all of these pills – they're good for your heart."
"But I don't like taking pills, doc. Isn't there anything you can do?"
"This is what I'd recommend right now, Ms. Jones."
"But all of my friends have gotten a stent, and they seem pretty happy."
" I understand, Ms. Jones, but our thinking about this is changing rapidly…"
"What would you have done yesterday?"
"Yes doctor, honestly."
"Probably given you the stents."
"I think I'll get a second opinion."
"I understand, Ms. Jones. Don't forget to get those prescriptions I wrote for you."

Potential implications from today's COURAGE trial?
- Potential lost interventional cardiology revenue, but many more visits for non-invasive cardiologists to assess adequacy of medical therapy and more stress test/nuclear imaging tests over time.
- Increased drug company revenues, especially manufacturers of statin drugs.
- Possibly lower investment in 64-slice CT scans knowing that medication therapy is the preferred first-line of therapy in patients with asymptomatic coronary disease.
But what should be remembered before the doomsday predictions for the stent makers take hold, doctors will have a difficult time always recommending stents for the above reasons – especially when 35,539 patients who were assessed for eligibility in the trial, 32,468 were excluded for a variety of reasons. Remember, patients with severe ventricular dysfunction, clinical instability, or very early ST-segment depression or hypotension on stress testing were excluded from the trial. Certainly in a carefully selected patient population, these results are important, but there are still plenty of patients out there hwo will continue to need the services of an interventional cardiologist.
Will bypass be similarly affected by reduced referrals? Very likely.
What is certain: a seismic tremor was felt in the cardiology community today…

Corrected: An earlier version of this story gave incorrect suspension rates for white students in North Carolina middle schools in 2008-09. The correct numbers are: 14.5 percent for cell phone violations; 16.6 percent for dress code offenses; 24 percent for disruptive behavior; and 14.5 percent for public displays of affection.
Black and Hispanic students are far more likely to be kicked out of school when they break the rules, including some that often have nothing to do with keeping students safe, according to a new report from a civil rights research and advocacy group.
And school discipline records are too often seen as a measure of how safe a school is and not often enough as a gauge of how healthy a school is academically, said Daniel J. Losen, the report's author and the senior education law and policy associate at the Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles at the University of California, Los Angeles. But he said there is no evidence that banishing some students will improve the education of classmates still in school, while studies have show that punishing students increases their risk of dropping out.
The report, released today in Washington, is the latest in a series of actions intended to draw attention to school discipline practices that some consider overly harsh or punishments that are meted out disproportionately among students of different races, genders, and ethnic groups.
In his report, "Discipline Policies, Successful Schools, and Racial Justice," Mr. Losen argues that the students who miss class time for misbehavior are at a greater risk of missing out on educational opportunities, but schools only reluctantly turn to alternatives for managing students' behavior. The report was published by the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado, in Boulder.
Data from several states suggests that both school suspensions and racial disparities have grown since the 1970s.
SOURCE: Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles at UCLA
Analyzing 2006 data from the U.S. Department of Education's office for civil rights, Mr. Losen found that more than 28 percent of African-American middle school boys had been suspended at least once, compared with 10 percent of white males nationwide. For girls, it was 18 percent of black students, compared with 4 percent of white students.
"The massive increase in the use of suspension out of school, which is a really important indicator of whether or not a kid's going to drop out, is something a school can control," he said.
Minor Violations
In some cases, Mr. Losen said, expulsions or suspensions are necessary, or required by law, such as when a student brings a gun to school. But many suspensions are for far less serious rule-breaking. He points out that the 2006 data from the Education Department's civil rights office found that 3.25 million students, or 7 percent of those in K-12 schools at the time, had been suspended at least once. Only about 102,000 were expelled, however.
"When people hear 'suspension,' they think the kid must have done something pretty bad. Most of these are for minor violations," Mr. Losen said.
Wanda Parker of Greenville, Mississippi, said her son James was suspended from school after a teacher thought he was using a cell phone in class. In reality, Ms. Parker said, James, a 9th grader at the time, was holding a classmate's iPod. Unable to convince the school James didn't have a cell phone, his parents watched as James served a 45-day suspension from school. He wound up in summer school to pass the classes he needed to become a sophomore this school year.
"These zero-tolerance policies are not fair," Ms. Parker said Wednesday. "They dehumanize our schools and make them feel more like a prison than a home."
A review of data from North Carolina from the 2008-09 school year found that, for possessing or using a cellphone at school, almost 33 percent of first-time black middle school offenders were suspended, compared with 14.5 percent of white students. For dress-code violations, 38.3 percent of black students for whom it was a first-time offense were suspended, vs. 16.6 percent of white students.
A dress-code violation may involve a student wearing colors affiliated with a gang, but kicking a student out of school could make the problem worse, he said.
"You're afraid about gang affiliations, and you've just increased the chances of gang affiliation," Mr. Losen said.
The reasons for such wide disparity in the punishment of white and minority students are unclear, he said.
Research suggests that unconscious bias likely plays a part in the disparities, Mr. Losen said. "Why else would we see, for the same first-time offense, blacks receiving harsh punishments far more often than whites?"
He said raising awareness about the disparities is crucial, and training in multicultural competence should be combined with training in classroom-management and strategies such as positive behavioral interventions and supports. This intervention-and-supports model is a decisionmaking framework that guides the selection, integration, and implementation of evidence-based interventions for improving academic and behavior outcomes for all students.
Using that framework allows for the tracking of student-discipline data by race or ethnicity, he said, "but too few schools have elected to look at that information. That should be a requirement."
Compounding that problem is that many minority students have teachers with less experience. The Education Department recently shared data showing that in schools across the country where 20 percent to 80 percent of students are black or Hispanic, their teachers are paid significantly less than the average teacher in the districts.
"Children who need the most too often get the least. It's a civil rights issue, an economic security issue, and a moral issue," U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said at the time.
Trading suspension and expulsion for other types of discipline doesn't mean a school is trading control for chaos, Mr. Losen said.
The Baltimore district famously cut its suspensions in recent years, and in turn, the dropout rate decreased. The school system used a series of methods and collaborated with the police department to make changes in how students are disciplined, in addition to stepping up efforts to coax chronically absent students and dropouts back into the classroom.
In that district, and the school district in Clayton County, Ga., which also dramatically reformed the way students are disciplined, the changes didn't cost money, said County Juvenile Court Judge Steven Teske. "It's about system reform. We just had to take what we had and do it differently," he said. Referrals from school police officers to his court have dropped significantly over the last few years, and that's left more resources on his end to deal with juveniles who have committed serious crimes.
He said students are more inclined to share information about potential incidents than they ever did in the past, when a school police officer was someone to be feared. And there's been another side effect with fewer students being suspended: The district's graduation rate is up.
"Who would ever think that keeping kids in school would increase graduation rates?," he said.
Growing Chorus
Recently, other groups have also taken steps to try to reform school discipline policies that rely heavily on suspensions and expulsions, their unequal application from school to school and among students of different races and backgrounds, their connection to dropping out of school, and the overlap between students who are disciplined this way who end up in juvenile or adult prisons. Among some of those recent developments:
• Earlier this year, a Fairfax County, Va., teenager committed suicide, which his family and friends connected to a seven-week suspension he received for his first serious school rule violation. It was at least the second such death in the district. The school board later dialed down the severity of some of the consequences handed down to students who break rules.
Are We Too Strict?
A report released in July casts doubt on whether increased suspensions and expulsions are getting the right results in Texas public schools.
• In July, a study from the Council of State Governments found that more than half of all Texas middle and high school students were suspended or expelled at least once between 7th and 12th grades, but the punishments were applied unevenly between students of different races, abilities, and schools, and students disciplined with those methods were more likely to repeat a grade or drop out of school than students who were not punished in the same way.
• The same week, Mr. Duncan and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder shared plans to reshape school discipline policies that end up pushing children into the juvenile-justice system for crimes and rule-breaking on campus, keeping them from pursuing an education. Mr. Duncan was building on a speech more than a year earlier in which he noted that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. would have been "dismayed to learn of schools that seem to suspend and discipline only young African-American boys."
This latest report's release coincides with the Dignity In Schools campaign's National Week of Action on School Pushout, which involves demonstrations in 14 states and the District of Columbia. The group advocates an end to zero-tolerance policies and the use of other methods to discipline students, such as positive behavioral interventions and supports, spokesman Joao Da Silva said.
His group also wants a provision built into the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, now the No Child Left Behind law, if it is reauthorized. The existing law requires publicly reporting information about drug use and other incidents, but the reporting should be improved, Mr. Da Silva said, and low-performing schools should be encouraged to improve school climate, not just given sanctions based on student performance.
Mr. Losen also recommends that, as Congress works on rewriting the ESEA, the new version of the law should include incentives for schools, districts, and states to support students, teachers, and school leaders to improve classroom and behavior management where there are high rates of suspension and expulsion.
"This is a myth busted, that we have to kick out the 'bad' kids," Mr. Losen said. "This is an unsound educational practice. The idea that we're going to scare them straight is not working."

I have a special talent for looking at a movie and placing the year in which it was filmed/released. If I'm off, it's usually only by a single year. So when Carlos asked me what year Dead Reckoning was from, all I had to do was look at Bogie's worn face, the hair and clothing style, the cinematography and the noirish voice over of the film to land it around 1947 or 1948.
Dead Reckoning (1947) reminded me of a few films. The self-destructive love affair between Bogie's Rip Murdock (::snickers::) and Lizbeth Scott's Carol Chandler was very much like the one between Mitchum and Greer in Out of the Past (1947). Many noirish elements, like the voice over and the flashback motif reminded me of Double Indemnity (1944). The druggings and POV sequences that followed reminded me of The Maltese Falcon (1941). Even though so many elements of the film were familiar and I felt deja vu on more than one occasion, this film still seemed very fresh and new to me.
::spoiler alert::
I was particularly struck with one of the final scenes of the movie. Bogie's Rip provides death advice to a character about to cross over to the other side. The dying character is scared and Rip asks the character to just let go. I found it quite remarkable in its straight-forwardness. It provided no false hopes yet comforted nonetheless. I wish someone would say something like this to me when my time comes.
It's like going out the jump door. Hold your breath and just let go Mike. Don't fight it. Remember all the guys that have done it before you. You've got plenty of company Mike. High class company.
