When it involves Iran's nuclear aspirations, it seems. Many hours of airtime and acres of newsprint have been expended on the overtime "deal" to limit Iran's capability to build a nuclear weapon.
But as yet it's all ifs, buts and maybes. More than any other deal the devil in this one really is in the detail. And that's where the problems arise.
President Barack Obama faces a monumental fight to make his legacy project happen and keep the world safe from a nuclear-armed Iran. And most of the opposition comes from within the US.
Put simply, much of the population here and many members of Congress of both stripes don't trust the Iranians or Mr Obama's resolve to hold the powerbrokers in Tehran's feet to the flames should they backslide on their commitments.
The framework for the deal, which would only actually become tangible on 30 June if all goes well, in simple terms, restricts Iran's ability to enrich uranium to weapons grade.
In return, the US and the rest of the world will slowly release their boot from Tehran's economic neck.
Mr Obama calls the breakthrough "historic" and says it will make the world a safer place.
His opponents say he's being hoodwinked by canny, untrustworthy, double-speakers in Iran who will wriggle and squirm to free themselves from the nuclear shackles while spending their newfound wealth on destabilising the Middle East and plotting America's demise.
Congress already has its sights set on the Iranian situation and is demanding a say in the final deal and reassurances that crippling sanctions, which got Iran to talk in the first place, will snap back into place if there's a sniff of Tehran pushing ahead with a nuke.
Mr Obama has a couple of weeks to get his political retaliation in first.
Congress is not back from its recess until the middle of the month and the White House will hope to have "sold" the upsides of the deal sufficiently to head off any unrest from lawmakers, which might overturn Mr Obama's grand plan.
Unsurprisingly, Israel doesn't like the deal either.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has made it abundantly clear, that deal or not, Israel won't hesitate to take military action against Iran if it feels threatened.
Israel and Mr Netanyahu have many supporters here in the US.
He controversially addressed Congress on the perils of Iran just last month, much to the chagrin of the Obama administration.
And House Speaker John Boehner, who called the framework "naive", has been in Jerusalem this week hearing first-hand the Israeli objections to parlaying with Tehran.
In truth, the outline of the deal is tougher on Iran than many here expected and many of the naysayers will have to recalibrate their opposition if they are to continue to cry foul.
But when is a deal not a deal?
Right now, right here in America.

Fast 8 will be the first movie in the billion-dollar franchise that will not feature Paul Walker, who died in a violent car crash on Nov. 30, 2012. Vin Diesel appears to be pulling out all stops in order to make the late actor proud of the latest installment.
The movie, which has been officially named Fast 8, wasn't supposed to happen, but the success of the seventh installment in the box-office after earning over $1.5 billion worldwide prompted the studio to make three more.
In an Instagram post, Vin Diesel paid tribute to Paul Walker as he dedicated Fast 8 to his friend.
"Many of the crew members who have worked on several of the past Fast films are here again to help us make something special," he wrote. "One of them at the end of the week came up to me and said wow what we are capturing on film is excellent … And then looked at me and said Paul would be proud."

While the plot is still unknown, the 48-year-old actor said that they are going back to the roots of the franchise, which is racing cars.
Most of the crew will be back such as Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris, Jason Statham, Michele Rodriguez, and Tyrese Gibson. But there are additions as well such as Charlize Theron and Scott Eastwood. Meanwhile, Lucas Black and Kurt Russell, who made their first appearances in Fast & Furious 7, will also return.
Explaining Kurt Russell's small role in the seventh movie, Vin Diesel hinted that he's going to have a bigger impact in Fast 8.

"You know I always think of these films multiple pictures in advance. I think of them as trilogies. Kurt Russell came in for this movie, but he was really, we really hired him because of a story that follows this. That takes place in New York," he said per We Got This Covered.
Scott Eastwood, meanwhile, has already started filming as he shared a photo with Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and director F. Gary Gray on his Instagram. However, he declined to tease some details of Fast 8 which is set to premiere on April 14, 2017.

�Pakistan rejects terrorism in all its forms,� he said.
What this means will only be clear once the President announces the steps he is going to take, but India has been objecting to his describing as �freedom struggle� what it calls �cross-border terrorism� in Kashmir.
There were also hints of Musharraf opening the door � even if only slightly � on India�s demand for handing over the 20 offenders it has named in a list given to Pakistan. The President said his government was �in the process� of analysing the cases.
Musharraf committed himself to setting out the course of action in a national address as he spoke at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who arrived in Islamabad today from Delhi, carrying the blunt message that no political cause could justify acts of terrorism.
�Whatever may be the political cause, there can be no justification for acts of terrorism, whether it is September 11, October 1 (J&K Assembly suicide strike) or the December 13 attack on the Indian Parliament,� Blair said after two hours of talks with Musharraf.
If any public indication was needed of the kind of pressure Musharraf is facing, Blair provided it when he turned to the general and said: �In our discussions, Mr President, you made it clear that Pakistan rejects terrorism in all its forms.�
The British Prime Minister is believed to have assured India that he would try and impress upon the general that in the fight against terrorism, distinctions could not be made against good and bad terrorists.
�We have been a victim of sectarian extremism, sectarian terrorism,� Musharraf said, continuing to project the crackdown on jihadi outfits as having been necessitated by internal compulsions. �All that is being addressed and its final decisions will be given when I come to address the nation in a few days.�
India wants Musharraf to hand over leaders like Jaish�s Masood Azhar and Lashkar�s Hafeez Saeed, whose names figure on the list.
It appeared that Blair had discussed the issue with Musharraf. �Yes, we did talk about the list of names,� the general said.
�We have not fully analysed full details of individuals (named in the list). I am in the process of analysing them� and we will take our decision after analysing them,� Musharraf said, but reasserted Pakistan�s position that India should provide evidence.
At the end of the Saarc summit yesterday, the general had said Pakistan was not in the habit of handing over its nationals to some other country. But this position is being seen as an �opening price� to which Islamabad may not stick once the bargaining begins with Delhi.
To keep up the pressure, India has ruled out resuming talks with Pakistan till it changes its stand on cross-border terrorism. �Where is the question of dialogue when there is no change in Pakistan�s attitude?� external affairs minister Jaswant Singh said after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security.
�They continue to maintain a very different approach when it is a matter of Western interest or Afghanistan and a different approach when it comes to the question of India,� Singh said.
Blair, who earlier in the day spoke to President George W. Bush, said: �We (the US leader and he) are absolutely one on this. We must all be resolute in our rejection of all acts of terrorism.�
As he turned on the pressure, the British Prime Minister took care to defend Musharraf against possible charges at home of betraying the Kashmir cause. �Of course, Pakistan has a very strong view of its position on Kashmir.�
In return, Pakistan wants military de-escalation.
These are among the ideas thrown up during the meetings of Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers in Kathmandu, which is now grudgingly being acknowledged by Delhi, and the Indo-Pakistan summit-level talks there, which officially never was.
Contrary to the public position being taken by India, foreign ministers Jaswant Singh and Abdus Sattar met not once, not twice, but four times in Kathmandu in informal, unstructured surroundings, except once.
The formal talks took place from 1805 hrs to 1905 hrs (Kathmandu time) on Saturday. Minutes of this meeting exist, the notes of the bilateral conversation having been recorded, curiously, not by any official dealing with Pakistan, but by South Block�s joint secretary in charge of Nepal and Bhutan.
Another idea resulting from the Kathmandu parleys, with the acquiescence of the Bush administration, is for the US to seek custody of terrorists like Jaish-e-Mohammad�s Masood Azhar and Hafeez Saeed -� the de facto leader of Lashkar-e-Toiba.
Once they are in US custody, India could interrogate these men within the framework of cooperation between the FBI and Indian agencies.
This will absolve Pervez Musharraf of the charge that he betrayed those fighting for Kashmir�s liberation by making them available for interrogation by India.
The idea, for which a precedent was created last week, is certain to come up during talks with the Americans by officials accompanying home minister L.K. Advani, who begins a visit to Washington tomorrow.
The precedent was the American �capture� of Abdul Salam Zaeef, who was the Taliban�s ambassador in Islamabad until a few weeks ago. Zaeef sought asylum in Pakistan, which was refused and he was then deported to Afghanistan, where the Americans waited to detain him for questioning.
In addition to information about four sessions between Singh and Sattar, it has now been revealed that the two handshakes between Musharraf and Atal Bihari Vajpayee were crowned by a phone call from Pakistan�s President to the Prime Minister in his hotel room.
Musharraf did not talk politics: he tried to charm Vajpayee and appeal to his sentimental side by enquiring about his knee problem.
If Sunday�s handshake was accompanied by a warm smile on Vajpayee�s face at one stage, the speculation is that the emotional thaw was prompted by Musharraf�s enquiries about the elder statesman�s health.
After the handshake, the two drifted as unobtrusively as possible to an enclosure. There they were joined by Mishra and Singh on the Indian side and Sattar and foreign secretary Inam-ul-Haque on the Pakistani side. The six men were huddled in privacy for seven minutes.
The assessment in Delhi and Islamabad is that the logjam has been broken and that things ought to get better if the US plays a constructive role, instead of resorting to public diplomacy such as the despatch of an envoy to South Asia.
India has created a small opening for talks with Pakistan by telling the Americans that though Delhi appreciated Musharraf�s actions against terrorists, he did not have the entire Pakistani establishment behind him.
On a day the Centre took the unparalleled step of upgrading Advani�s security to the level of the Prime Minister, the BJP put him back on the pedestal he once shared with Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the party headquarters.
A larger-than-life poster of Advani with the chakra was placed alongside that of Vajpayee to form the backdrop of the dais at the Ashoka Road headquarters� media room.
The poster, printed by an Uttar Pradesh district leader, carries a couplet from the Bhagvad Gita in which Krishna tells Arjun that whenever dharma is under attack, a new avatar will rise to salvage it from moral and political degradation.
The word atankvaad (terrorism) is printed in bold letters but they are staggered as if to give the impression that the country is in a shambles following the terror threat. The punchline reads: �Terror-free India�. The implication is that Advani, once the most famous face of the Ram temple movement and now the �poster-incarnation� of Krishna, alone can deliver the country from the modern-day evil: terrorism.
The poster-placement has a history. Before the BJP became a serious contender for power, the press dais was dominated by the triumvirate of Vajpayee, Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.
Once Joshi�s term as BJP president ended, the space was taken up by Advani and Vajpayee. Though Advani called the shots, Vajpayee�s �liberal� image made him a more reliable mascot in the age of coalitions.
After the 13-day government in 1996, both shared the limelight. The scenario changed substantially after the 1999 elections when a more confident Vajpayee dug his heels in. Advani�s posters then disappeared unobtrusively from the centrestage.
BJP observers believe the poster juggling was not as innocuous as it appeared. First, they said, it was an indication that Advani would play as important a role in the impending elections as Vajpayee � both as organiser and as campaigner.
Moreover, they maintained, it was indicative of his growing importance in not just shaping internal security-related policies but the line of action on external affairs, too.
Advani�s trip to the US is expected to further bolster his image, party sources said, more so when this is probably the first time that a home minister is having a direct say in foreign policy matters.
Blair reached Afghanistan tonight, becoming the first western leader to visit Kabul since the fall of the Taliban regime. Afghan leader Hamid Karzai met Blair and his wife Cherie.
A Royal Air Force official said Blair would travel like a parachute commando and the comforts of the Hercules were not comparable with that of the Boeing in which he landed in India. Blair will not return to Delhi to catch the Boeing he has left behind. The C-130 Hercules is a multi-purpose aircraft capable of taking off from and landing on rough strips.
Not defused yet: Bush
President George W. Bush applauded Pervez Musharraf�s efforts to rein in terrorists but said the situation between India and Pakistan was not �defused� yet. Bush asked Musharraf to make a clear statement that he will crack down on terror.
The directive to Congress chief ministers, state unit bosses and senior leaders came shortly after Sonia�s son-in-law, Robert, issued a public notice snapping ties with his family. Robert has charged his brother, Richard, and father Rajinder Vadra with nursing political ambitions.
10 Janpath sources said Sonia took the drastic step after receiving complaints that the Vadras had been using their Gandhi connection to make money. They have allegedly been promising people anything from election tickets and jobs to flats and admission into schools in return for money.
Party leaders said there were numerous instances of the Vadras having approached VIPs and chief ministers, one of whom recently went to Sonia for advice. �Last week, we were told to be careful with them. We knew something was amiss,� a CWC member said.
Sonia is believed to have told Robert that such allegations brought disrepute to the party and lowered the prestige of the family. Such �unbecoming conduct� would also give her political adversaries a tool to malign her during the campaign for the Assembly elections, she said.
Family sources said Sonia initially had reservations about Priyanka marrying into the Vadra family but gave in after Priyanka put her foot down. But she grew to like Robert and even inducted him on her campaign team for the 1999 elections.
Family friends say she now treats Robert like her son. �After grandson Rehan�s arrival, they became a nice loving family. Sonia did not want any complication in her cordial relations with her son-in-law,� a friend said.
Robert is reported to have had heated arguments with his father and brother and charged them with nursing political ambitions. He legally snapped ties with them with the help of advocate Arun Bhardwaj, son of former law minister Hansraj Bhardwaj.
Robert and the Gandhi family have declined comment on the issue, but close family friends said the decision was a painful one.
�The whole world knows that Sonia is a reticent person and intensely dislikes anyone misusing the family name. It was not that the Vadras were not warned. But there were just too many instances, forcing Robert to take a drastic step,� a family friend said.
He added that when Salman Khursheed was the Uttar Pradesh chief, Richard had called him up and recommended the names of party officials from Moradabad.
Recently, a Vadra family member also approached a prominent educational society chairman with a visiting card that said �... in-law of Priyanka Gandhi�.
Today, the Congress president�s office issued a letter to PCC chiefs, CLP leaders and Congress chief ministers advising them not to entertain the Vadras. A public notice from Robert�s advocate was enclosed with the letter.
The public notice read: �It has been brought to the notice of my client that some persons, including Rajinder Vadra, resident of C-7, Amar Colony and Richard Vadra, resident of Basant Vihar colony, Civil Lines, Moradabad, UP are misrepresenting to the public that they are working for on behalf of my client and allegedly promising jobs and other favours in return for money.
�Even though Rajinder Vadra and Richard Vadra are relatives of my client but they have no access to my client. Public at large is hereby put to notice that my client has not authorised Rajinder Vadra and Richard Vadra and anybody else to work for him or to use his name in any manner and make such misrepresentation to anybody. Such misrepresentations are without the knowledge and consent of my client.�
The petition is likely to be taken up within a few days even as the Andipatti byelection is drawing near. The ADMK chief hopes to get elected, which would pave the way for her return as chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
Swamy, the original complainant in the case, sought a direction from the apex court that Jayalalithaa should be restrained from holding any public office till his special leave petition was disposed of. The case involves purchase of government land at a throwaway price by a company owned by Jayalalithaa.
Jayalalithaa was first convicted by the trial court but was sworn in chief minister by the then Governor, Fathima Beevi, after the ADMK steamrolled the DMK in the last Assembly polls.
Following a public interest litigation, the apex court said a convicted person could not hold any constitutional office. However, on appeal, Madras High Court acquitted Jayalalithaa, clearing the way for the ADMK chief to contest the Andipatti byelection from Madurai.
Swamy�s petition comes at this juncture. However, the apex court would decide on it only after notices are issued, which are likely by early next week.
Swamy�s contention is that Madras High Court erred in holding that the land was not a government property. He also said the judgment did not provide an answer to the major issue that public servants were prohibited from buying government property. The court had rejected the charge that Jayalalithaa violated the code of conduct for ministers by purchasing the government land.
�She (Jayalalithaa) had in conspiracy with her partner, Sasikala, and the concerned government officers manipulated the price of government land,� he said.
The home minister�s first trip abroad was to Israel, where he made a diplomatic faux pas when he said New Delhi and Tel Aviv both faced the brunt of terrorist attacks. The Islamic world had taken offence at this casual linking of Palestinians with terrorists operating in Kashmir. Gulf leaders were outraged. India had been one of the staunchest supporters of the Palestinian cause.
Advani and Peres discussed the current situation and India�s stand-off with Pakistan since the December 13 attack on Parliament. Israel supports New Delhi�s stand that Islamabad has to dismantle the entire terrorist network it has built against India before any meaningful dialogue can take place.
India has been in close touch with Israel since the Parliament attack and has been provided with the available evidence of Islamabad�s role. India�s most wanted list, which it handed over to Pakistan, was also discussed.
Though Delhi has upped the ante against Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, unlike Israel, it has not taken any direct military action against Pakistan, waiting for the diplomatic option to be exhausted. India is also willing to give Musharraf a few more days to meet New Delhi�s demand.
Peres, probably attuned to Washington�s interest in calming the situation in South Asia, while US forces were still in Afghanistan, appreciated Musharraf�s recent action against militants. �In general terms, President Pervez Musharraf himself has already taken some action .... Satisfaction will come when all forms of terrorism is uprooted,� Peres told reporters after meeting Advani.
The Israeli leader said the world was divided into countries that harbour terrorists and countries which fight them. Peres not only reiterated his country�s support to India�s claim for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, but went a step further and suggested that India be included in Nato.
He said India as a nation in the forefront of the fight against terrorism should naturally find a place in Nato. He suggested that China, Russia and Japan also be included. Peres was pushing an unlikely line but it was sweet music to Indian ears.
�Nato does not have an enemy today,� Peres said, �so why not join Nato and make it an instrument with all its resources to confront today�s dangers instead of yesterday�s enemies.�
Peres said India-Israel ties were growing and expanding in every sphere. What he did not say, however, was that there would have been more defence cooperation if the US did not keep a strict watch on arms supplies by Israel to other countries.
Israel�s lucrative deal to supply Phalcon aircraft to China was scrapped at Washington�s insistence. Similarly, the US has made sure that India does not receive sophisticated equipment from Israel.
In his news briefing, general secretary and spokesman Sunil Shastri slammed Pakistan�s �continued hostility� towards India and its �unrelenting support to cross-border terrorism�. The government should take more �effective measures to ensure that the capacity of Pakistan-sponsored agencies to encourage terrorist activities in India is further curtailed�, the spokesman said.
Shastri said this could be achieved by a �policy of progressive disengagement with Pakistan and by preventing the ingress of Pakistani citizens�.
Asked to elaborate, convener of the BJP�s foreign affairs cell Surendra Arora � who sat with Shastri � said it meant a further cut in Pakistan�s diplomatic mission. �The involvement of Pakistani nationals in terrorist activities in India has been proved. Lesser number of Pakistanis coming to India may lead to control of their activities,� he said.
Shastri denied knowledge of a fiery speech reportedly made by sports and youth affairs minister Uma Bharti in Amritsar yesterday in which she urged India to hoist its flag in Lahore and Karachi. �Whatever diplomatic offensive the government has launched is there but we are certainly not keen to take military action at the moment,� he said.
The spokesman said India should focus on isolating Pakistan diplomatically.
�The government of India would be well advised to strengthen bilateral relationships and to pay more attention to sub-regional cooperation until Pakistan changes its attitude,� he said. �That kind of change, we believe, is possible when a truly democratic regime in Pakistan is able to dismantle the ISI-terrorist network.�
Asked if this implied that India should shut its doors on President Pervez Musharraf, as he was not a democratically elected leader, Shastri parried the question. BJP sources acknowledged that the tough-sounding rhetoric, emanating from the party and the government, was meant to up the ante on terrorism for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
�There was so much confusion on account of the Lahore bus yatra and the Agra summit because the popular perception was why were we bending over backwards to accommodate someone like Musharraf who stabbed us in the back in Kargil?� sources said. �Our tough statements and our determination not to reopen a dialogue with him are meant to correct the misconceptions that were created by both these events.�
The sources conceded that a military strike was not feasible now because of the international pressure on Delhi and Islamabad. The strategy, they said, would be to project the government�s diplomatic offensive as a �manifestation of the BJP�s inherent strength to fight terrorism and preserve the nation�s sovereignty�.
The sources also admitted that despite the war hype, the BJP�s position in Uttar Pradesh was �not that happy�. They said the feedback from the state was that more than national issues, local factors and caste equations would weigh with the voters.
With the BJP�s main rival, the Samajwadi Party, focusing on free education and drinking water to all villages, BJP strategists have begun wondering whether terrorism could hold a candle to social welfare.
The Congress-backed Intuc is preparing a memorandum to submit to Yashwant Sinha and to the party high command. Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), a RSS outfit, is set to join issue with the Union minister on critical issues like disinvestment and labour law reforms. The Left trade unions led by Citu will set the tenor of discussion at the meeting.
There is near unanimity on the issues the trade unions want to confront the government with � primarily disinvestment of public sector undertakings, privatisation of coal mines and labour law reforms to bring in a hire-and-fire system.
Last year, the BJP government faced flak from the BMS � the trade union had ticked off the finance minister for announcing the controversial labour law reforms in his Budget speech. Then labour minister Satyanarain Jatiya had to smoothen the ruffled feathers of the BMS to keep tempers from flying in public.
Most of the recent actions sponsored by trade unions against liberalisation have been in tandem. The BMS was as strident as the Citu, threatening the government with �dire action� if it pressed on with labour law reforms.
The Intuc leadership has been trying to get the Congress high command to take a hardline stance against economic reforms. �The Congress, in its Bangalore resolution, has already committed itself to the interest of workers,� said an Intuc leader.
Though tantamount to a volte-face, the Congress leadership has been opposing most of the liberalisation policies. It has opposed the Bill for privatisation of coal mines though privatisation was a credo taught by none other than Congress� former finance minister Manmohan Singh.
It is almost a year since the finance minister announced the government�s intention to rationalise labour laws though nothing tangible has happened so far. The Group of Ministers (GOM) set up to look into labour law reforms recently endorsed them but the trade unions say the GOM has no power to ratify the decision. �Only Parliament can decide the issue,� they said.

DONCASTER Knights were spared another possible wasted journey to the capital today when London Welsh called off their rearranged Championship match at Old Deer Park in good time yesterday afternoon.
Knights, who ruled the pitch 'too hard' under a soft surface when they arrived at the ground last week - a stance supported by the referee - were forced to travel on the day of the game after an RFU referee decided on the Friday afternoon that the game could go ahead.
But the referee who inspected the ground yesterday afternoon, and who took last night's weather into account, called the game off.
Although disappointed at his side missing out on a game for the third time this year, the Knights won't now have to play three games in eight days - including next Saturday's home game against derby rivals Rotherham Titans.
The game, which Knights officials are hoping will produce a club-record crowd of close to 5,000, is being shown live on Sky Sports.

A Taste of Heaven
A Taste of Heaven by R.C. Sproul, 2006. (Reformation Trust)
A Taste of Heaven is an engaging read that asks readers to contemplate and evaluate their own lives, their own churches, and to some extent the Christian community and culture at large. To those unfamiliar with R.C. Sproul's writings and ministry, A Taste of Heaven is the perfect place to start. It is both reader-friendly, and thought-provoking. (I would also suggest reading The Holiness of God as a nice introduction to Sproul.) But to those already familiar with R.C. Sproul's work let me just state that this work is one of his more approachable works. You don't need a doctorate degree to comprehend and appreciate it.
The preface clearly states Sproul's intentions regarding the purpose of A Taste of Heaven. He believes, and rightly so in my opinion, that today's churches "have made our worship services more secular than sacred, more common than uncommon, more profane than holy." (11) What he calls for is for churches to search the Scriptures for principles and instructions regarding worship instead of relying on "personal preferences, whims, or marketing strategies." (11) The remaining of the book outlines those principles Sproul has gleamed from the Bible that he feels the church should consider when designing their own liturgies or services.
In chapter one, "Forms of Worship" R.C. Sproul begins by examining some of the arguments in the worship debate of today's modern churches and denominations. Whether services should be liturgical or formal or informal, etc. But he quickly concludes that all services have some forms, and that it doesn't matter what you call it. A form is a form. And that form should have some biblical basis. But that leads Sproul to another question altogether. What place does the Old Testament have in the church? In the worship service? Does the New Testament make the Old Testament irrelevant or void? What truths about God and what truths about worship can be learned from the Old Testament? These are some of the questions, Sproul formulates in this chapter.
"The issue is not what stimulates or excites us. Though that is not an insignificant or unimportant issue, our overriding concern needs to be what is pleasing to God. The question we need to ask is this: 'If God Himself were to design worship, what would it look like?'" (14-15)
"I believe we can discern principles in the patterns of worship that God revealed from heaven to His people in the Old Testament, and that those principles can and should inform the patterns our worship follows." (19)
So the remaining chapters Sproul examines both Old and New Testament patterns of worship. In chapters two through four he mainly focuses on the Old Covenant. (He doesn't exclude the New Testament and/or the New Covenant. But he spends much time focusing on Judaism and the Hebrew nation.) He describes that worship primarily involved three aspects: praise, prayer, and sacrifice. In describing the old way of worship, Sproul makes assertions about what applies and doesn't apply to the modern church. For example, while animal sacrifice is abolished, living sacrificially is not. (See Romans 12). While the outward forms and requirements might have changed, the heart of the matter has not. God still want those who worship him to love him with all their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.
"The all-encompassing criterion for acceptable sacrifice before God in the Old Testament was the posture and the attitude of the person making the sacrifice." (28)
"That's what worship is—the presenting of ourselves on the altar of praise, so that what we think, what we do, and what we live is motivated by a desire to honor God." (46)
In chapter five, "Symbolism in Worship" R.C. Sproul begins to lay the foundation for the remaining chapters. In Chapters six through nine, Sproul examines the church's two foundational sacraments: baptism and communion. These chapters focus more on the New Testament instructions for worship. (But again, the Old Testament does play a role in this discussion as well.) These sacraments are widely debated between denominations. And for those seeking additional resources in understanding the arguments, I would recommend reading Doctrines that Divide by Erwin Lutzer.
Chapter ten, "The Whole Person" steps away from the previous chapters to some extent and shifts the focus away from what the Bible prescribes for the worship service and instead presents what the Bible has to say about the worshiper. (This has been covered to some degree in earlier chapters, but it now becomes a main focus.) While Sproul stresses the importance of worshiping God with your mind in truth, he also introduces the concept of how important it is to worship God with your whole being--through all of your senses--and not just your mind. This gave me something to think about, since most of the time authors, in my opinion, are saying that there is too much emphasis on feeling and not on the mind.
In chapters eleven through thirteen, Sproul focuses on how we as believers can worship God using our five senses. For example, he focuses on the visual in chapter eleven. How important it is for church structures and interiors to be visually beautiful and pleasing. He even addresses how the preacher's attire can increase/decrease the atmosphere of worship. (That is something I certainly wasn't expecting to find here.) In chapter twelve, he focuses on the sounds of worship. What should worship music sound like? He urges people to be as open-minded as they can when it comes to instruments--since Psalm 150 clearly states that God is worshiped through all sorts of musical instruments--but he also stresses the importance of lyrics. It is extremely important that all lyrics--whether in praise chorus or a traditional hymn--be doctrinally sound. So worship leaders should be discerning when it comes to selection. But traditional isn't "better" than contemporary and vice verso. Chapter thirteen addresses the remaining senses--touch, smell, and taste.
A Taste of Heaven is a readable book that offers practical insight into how to worship God.
Some churches take the position that anything that's not prohibited in Scripture is acceptable for use in the worship of the church. Other churches have a principle that governs worship: the regulative principle. It says that only that which is authorized by Scripture is legitimate as a form of worship. (However, there's a great debate about what it means to say that Scripture authorizes something. Must Scripture authorize something explicitly or can something be inferred by reasonable inference from the text of Scripture?) This controversy has caused many of us to practice the philosophy of the second glance, that is, to look again to the Scriptures to discern, if possible, what principles we can find there that would lead us and guide us in our worship, and at the same time restrict us from a godless type of experimentation in order to achieve a sense of the presence of God. That is what I am trying to do in this book—find Scriptural principles that should inform our worship. (129)

The self storage industry first made an impression in the early 1970s, but in the intervening decades it's remained largely unchanged. The basic platform of providing an individual unit to each customer in a facility overseen by a small staff has been almost universally the leading business model. Recently, however, a few startups have begun to reshape the very definition of storage by taking control of all the steps in the process, from moving in to retrieval.
Storage-by-the-bin is what some have called the new business model because many of the companies provide their own bins. The customer fills these bins before having them shipped off to a warehouse out of the way. The tenants don't visit their storage unit – they don't even have a storage unit – but they don't need to. They can simply put in a request and the storage company will deliver their bin(s) back home.
Companies like MakeSpace, Clutter, and Storrage are pioneering storage-by-the-bin in a number of cities around the U.S. MakeSpace in New York takes pictures of the items to be stored before carting them to their warehouse, and Clutter in Los Angeles asks its customers to do the same using their app. The trend has even made its way to the United Kingdom, with London's WeStore entering the fray.
Boxbee in San Francisco has perhaps gone the furthest by marketing their delivery services as the physical equivalent to digital cloud storage. Bins aren't only for the one paying for storage. Now friends and family can request deliveries as well and make use of your items while you're not using them. "Cloud storage is such a great idea, but it needs to extend beyond the world of software and apply to people's physical things," says Boxbee CEO Kristoph Matthews.
"Our vision for the future is that your home finally becomes the place where you just keep the things you love and need every day. All of the other things you only need one occasion, you keep somewhere else, and just order it when you need it."
It's a grand vision, and we'll have to wait a while to see how successful these kinds of companies will be. Nonetheless, for self storage owners everywhere, these innovative services have several huge takeaways.
The first question the savvy business-owner will ask is, "How can I get involved?" If you find a budding storage-by-the-bin service emerging in your area, contact them and figure out what you can do to be a part of this new trend. Here are some ways you might be able to get involved:
Rent warehouse space. Most of these companies use commercial warehouses to store their customers' belongings, but that doesn't mean you can't be involved. As they grow, they'll need more space, and space is one thing all storage facilities have. See if any of these types of companies is interested in partnering with you. If you have large warehouse-size spaces, you could very well have some indispensable real estate.
Rent a truck. Not all of these companies own their own vehicles. Many pay for third-party courier systems. If you have a truck that you usually rent to tenants, you might have just found yourself another customer. Look into renting your truck out to one of these budding companies for some extra cash.
Franchise. Most of these companies are small and relatively new, so it might not be as hard as you think to get in on the ground floor. Seattle's Storrage in particular has expressed interest in franchising, and most of the companies are no doubt looking to expand beyond their initial location.
Partner with the company. Find some other way to partner, like a joint advertising campaign or a mutually beneficial referral system. Many small companies will take whatever exposure they can get, so don't be afraid to step out on a limb and ask to work together.
A Storrage graphic summarizing their system.
Not everyone is located in the same city as one of these developing companies, and some of them might simply not be open to partnering. If that's the case, there are still a number of ways to implement the innovative ideas companies like Boxbee are developing.
Mobile storage pods are units that are brought to the renter's home, filled, and then returned to the facility. This is not a dissimilar concept to the storage-by-the-bin companies that are on the rise, but it's also only half the equation. A huge part of the appeal of this new wave of companies is the ability to have items in storage delivered back to the renter. Perhaps this is a feature many more storage facilities will begin to incorporate.
Of course, the existing infrastructure will have to change somewhat since currently, in most storage facilities, the tenant seals their unit with a lock that only he or she has access to. In order to deliver items back to the renter, the facility manager would also need access to the unit. Some conventional facilities, however, already have built-in cylinder locks installed by facility staff, which could ease the transition into managers having access to all of the units.
Another innovative solution is to accept postal deliveries. Companies like Kinek are working to increase the number of storage facilities in the nation that accept postal deliveries. This is a convenient feature that does not involve a lot of work from the manager and staff but allows renters to pick up their packages at their leisure if, for example, they couldn't be home during the time of the delivery.
Once again, accepting postal deliveries is still a step away from the storage-by-the-bin model, in which a renter's delivery could be stored directly with their other belongings without the renter needing to make any trips, but it's a step in the same direction.
A MakeSpace bin.
It's hard to say at this point in time how far storage-by-the-bin will go. Even the largest companies are still small. Boxbee, which won the LAUNCH Festival Start-Up of the Year Award, has already stored more than 4,100 items in its short history. There seems to be a lot of upside to the burgeoning industry, especially in urban areas where space is scarce and people are always on the go.
There will always be a place for traditional self storage, however. Many customers take great comfort in knowing that they are the only ones with access to their respective units, a security measure that is impossible in the storage-by-the-bin model.
Another benefit of traditional storage is the pricing. If you only want to store a few boxes' worth of stuff, paying for the boxes individually might very well be cheaper than renting a 5×5, which is usually the smallest unit available at a conventional storage facility. On the other hand, a customer wishing to store a whole house would need a lot more than a few boxes, and a single large unit at a traditional facility will probably be cheaper than the equivalent amount of boxes at a storage-by-the-bin facility.
Clutter, however, has added to the by-the-bin pricing model, with options to charge instead by the truckload. Customers fill a van with their belongings and are charged based on the size of the van.
An outline of a Clutter van.
For now, though, we simply have to wait and see how the new storage model fares. With cloud storage becoming more and more popular online, it's not unreasonable to see the same happening with our physical belongings. Boxbee's CEO Matthews has that exact vision. "Imagine the not-too-distant future where we have a feature in the interface where someone can browse what kinds of objects their friends have in storage, and they can have that delivered to their house and sent back, like a lending library," Matthews says.
"It turns storage into something that is not just a poor excuse to hold on to your stuff, but a dynamic thing that is useful to a lot of people."
While many would argue traditional storage is not a poor excuse, the smart facility owners know that there is always room for improvement. With the rise in smartphones and cloud storage, it seems inevitable that these storage-by-the-bin services will begin to take off, which shows how useful the concept can be.
While it is doubtful that storage-by-the-bin will supplant traditional storage entirely, it is becoming more and more an imperative to think outside the box, move forward in the wake of modern technology, and never simply sit back on one's haunches and expect the industry to lie still.
Now is your opportunity to put your customers first and find new ways to reach out to them.

Finjan, a veteran in the Israeli software landscape that's been around since 1996 has announced a $22 million sixth round led by HarbourVest, one of its first investors. Several other funds participated in the round including: Benchmark Capital, Israel Seed Partners, Benhamou Global Ventures (Eric Behamou's VC fund), and Cisco. The company said it will use the proceeds to accelerate growth in the global Secure Web Gateway market, but questions about the size of the round have emerged.
Finjan provides secure web gateway solutions (SWG) for the enterprise market, helping financial institutions prevent crimeware, malware and data leakage using patented real-time content inspection technologies and a proprietary anti-virus module. The SWG industry is estimated to be a billion dollar market a year.
The high amount of money raised by Finjan also raised a few eyebrows – the company does not develop its own hardware, so its operating costs aren't that high – why would it need $22 million? Globes assumes that the money will be spent on acquisitions.
In the official press release John Vigouroux, President and CEO of Finjan, said:
"We are excited to close this investment round now, especially considering the current economic downturn. Thanks to Finjan's employees and executive team, we achieved record sales as well as major competitive wins. Our patented technology is favored by analysts and customers alike, which enables us to provide outstanding products and solutions. We are proud of our ability to maintain our exceptional high-level of customers' satisfaction and of the high renewal rates with existing customers – all achieved with an efficient operational structure. Since the market evolved from URL filtering and Anti-Virus into a composite SWG market, Finjan's Secure Web Gateway is perfectly positioned to serve this $1B market with its unique product offering."
Another recent victory for the company was won in the court of law. Finjan recently won a legal dispute around patent infringement against Secure Computing. According to the settlement, Finjan will receive 16% of the sales made by Secure Computing.

For those looking for a quick getaway near Manila and want to learn how to surf, this place is perfect for you! Just 4 -5 hours road trip and you're already at Crystal Beach Resort in Zambales.
Aside from being a perfect place for surfing lessons it is also a beautiful place for camping, team-build building activities or just relax while seating on the beach chair.
Crystal Beach Resort offers several accommodations that you can choose from. But if you want to get the best for you or your travel buddies, I recommend you to book on their website as early as one month before your travel date. Why? In my experience, I called them several times a week before but nobody answered. Fortunately, two Glamping Tents was available on the day we arrived.

Inclusion: complete set of mattress, fan, light and breakfast
Crystal Beach Resort Room Rate

Basically we arrived 10 hours early before our check-in time but the good thing was the front-desk staff allowed us to enter the vicinity area. We stayed at beach hut early in the morning and wait until the sun comes out.
We also started swimming then ate breakfast by 9 am. Then we went back again swimming and ate lunch by 12 pm. This was also the time I paid our reservation for the glamping tent.
Surfing lesson with board rental – 400/hr
Board rental – 200/hr
30 minutes after lunch we started our surfing activity and ended after an hour and a half. Standing on the surf board while riding on the wave for the first time was totally awesome and unforgettable! I'm just a little bit sad cause I don't have a picture when I did that. 🙁
Anyways, that memory was saved in my heart and my mind. Cheers!
After our tiring awesome surfing activity we took a bath and slept on our glamping tent until 6 pm.
At dahil last day na, aurahan time na! :*

Take the IBA-bound bus and dropped off in San Narciso, Zambales (nearest landmark: San Sebastian Catholic Church).
Once there, take a tricycle going to Crystal Beach Resort. Fare is Php 15.00 per person.

Key Features
Generate help files from modules
No need to start from scratch. PowerShell HelpWriter analyzes your module and generates starter help files that match the cmdlet code.
Manage module help files
The new projects allow to manage multiple help-xml files and about topic. Was the module updated? Refresh the module's help content by the press of a button.
Markdown and HTML Export
Export cmdlet help and about topics to markdown or HTML.
Edit in XML
Whenever you need it, you can view or edit the help file in the built-in XML editor. The PowerShell HelpWriter XML editor is a complete XML editor—not just a read-only viewer.
Complete Help Editor UI
Features a dynamic editor that guides you through the process of writing complete and accurate help topics for all of your commands.
Help Matches the Code
PowerShell Help Writer generates starter help topic from the code in any command of any type, including individual commands and commands in a module. No need to figure out the cmdlet attribute or parameter attribute values, inputs or outputs. And, the help always matches the code.
Create help files from scratch
Use the PowerShell HelpWriter editor to create help from scratch for new or existing modules.
Edit existing help files
Edit existing help files in the PowerShell Help Writer editor UI or as XML. Add or delete parameters, including dynamic parameters.
Convert comment-based-help to PSMAML

Validate PSMAML Files
All help files conform to the PSMAML schema for Windows PowerShell help files. Use the Validate Help Schema feature to validate any file. PowerShell HelpWriter will autocorrect common structural issues in order to comply with the MAML help schema.
Design before coding
Write help for a module before the code is written as a code specification. Once the help is written, use PowerShell Studio's "New Module from Help File" feature to automatically generate the module's code.
Focus on examples
The PowerShell HelpWriter designer features an environment especially designed for writing examples with an editable prompt and monospace font for formatting output.

Last fall, writers were chosen to be a part of the new live sketch team at PHIT Comedy and this week their new show debuts! To be considered for the team writers had the opportunity to submit a packet of their funniest material. This Thursday you can see their premiere show Fezziwig presents The Deadutante Ball!
The team is directed by Kathryn Amrhein and the cast includes writers Alexis Howland, Alyssa Truszkowski, Ian Fletcher, Kristofer W. Hodge, Patric Ciervo, and head writer Andrea Duffy. Fezziwig's actors are Nathaniel Biagiotti, Derrick Houck, Jenna Kuerzi, Wendy Lenhart, Brooke McCarthy, and Chuong Pham.
We asked them a few questions to see what it's been like preparing for their first show!
What has it been like preparing for your first show?
It's been an exhilarating, fun, sometimes scary whirlwind! Finding our voice, meeting and getting to know our actors, figuring out how to score cheap vapes and how many blood packets we'll need for—uh….something. Oh, and Nate says he's dehydrated.We should probably see about that.
What can the audience expect?
At our first writers' meeting, Kathryn said "you should know I like really dark humor" and we set about to make mom proud. So if you ask any one of us we'd probably say "blood! And death!" And there is that—hilarious blood and death. So, so much blood. But also a lot of heart and a look at how we navigate our weird wild world together. All of our characters are doing their best, despite the ridiculous circumstances we put them in. And what else…Patric dies a lot! Wendy perfected her stage fainting! There's probably vaping if Andrea can get it together in tech rehearsal! Hodge dresses up as a prairie dog! And a lot of blood. Do you know what show is on after us? We should probably warn them about the blood…
What is your favorite thing about working together?
We're all in agreement that Hodge is the king of snacks. One time he made us a cheese plate! Boy we wrote so good that day. When we get together we know 1) we won't leave hungry, 2) we'll make each other laugh. Seeing how everyone's different voices and outlooks come together is really magical. And our actors are amazing, our first table read was so exciting! We can't wait to show you what we've created together.
Any advice for sketch writers who are just starting out?
We all have pretty much the same advice: just do it! Just write, write, write; write what makes YOU laugh, and put it in front of people to see what works. PHIT is a great community for sketch because you have things like Sketch Up or Shut Up, or Up All Night, where you can just get up there and try stuff out. But just go for it—so many of us say we wish we'd done this sooner, but we did it and look at us now!
What are your all time favorite sketches?
"I do love that Lunch Lady song" — Hodge
"I always liked the Barber sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie" — Ian
"Yikes, just one? I remember seeing the "Cluckin Chicken" air and was blown away by the dark humor. It may have also played a part in my future eating habits." — Wendy
"I really love Tina and Amy's "Meet Your Second Wife" sketch" — Patric
"Country Roses w/Jennifer Aniston from SNL" — Nate
"Tina Fey's Colonel Angus sketch is the sketch my sketches want to be when they grow up." — Andrea
Any tips to get rid of writer's block?
Read a lot, watch a lot ("and steal it" – Nate). Also, see #4—just write! Don't force it and don't be an idea snob, follow your fun! So many things that ended up in the show started off as offhand jokes somebody made or weird things somebody mentioned at our meetings. Your ideas can come from anywhere, be open to them.
You can seeFezziwig's debut show on:

If you surf the movie sites or read magazines like Entertainment Weekly, then you already know the well-documented story on this film. But if you live in a cave smearing bat shit on the walls for entertainment, here's the jist of the situation: Bryan Singer, the director of the previous two X-Men films, chose to helm the upcoming Superman Returns, rather than return to work on X3. Singer repeatedly stated that he would love to shoot the third X-movie when he finished up on Superman Returns, but the studio execs wouldn't have it. They wanted an X-Men movie delivered to them on Memorial Day weekend 2006, and any delay was unacceptable. So, exit a disappointed Singer and enter the relatively unknown British director Matthew Vaughn, whose only previous directing credit was the U.K. crime drama Layer Cake.
Before Vaughn could shoot an inch of film, however, he bowed out because of "familial obligations." It wasn't long before people were crying bullshit over hearing this news, suspecting that the studio execs shitcanned him because he wouldn't be able to deliver the movie in time for that coveted Memorial Day weekend slot. So, in their darkest hour, the studio heads turned to Brett Ratner, the Hollywood hack behind such masterpieces of cinema as the Rush Hour flicks and the Hannibal Lecter prequel movie, Red Dragon. With Ratner on board, the film was rushed through production, and delivered to the theaters on May 26.
So, was Ratner able to assemble a decent ending to the X-Men film trilogy despite the time constraints, script problems, and controversial casting / special effects issues?
Nope. Not so much.
The main problem with this third movie is its running time. At barely over ninety minutes long, this thing blows by like one of Storm's cyclones, leaving you wondering what the hell just hit you. With several major character arcs to complete, and the introductions of numerous other characters, the ridiculously brief length turns out to be a huge obstacle to any sort of cohesive, dramatic storytelling.
Hugely important and popular characters are killed off left and right with absolutely no sense of weight; it's just "oops, so-and-so is gone, on to the next scene." The effects work, with the exception of the awesome Golden Gate bridge sequence, is completely unacceptable for a movie made in 2006. The CGI effects on characters like Iceman and Colossus looks to be a notch above 1991's Terminator 2, and the wire-work on fighting and flying sequences is atrocious at best. The Beast, played quite well by Kelsey Grammar despite the awful make-up, is particularly laughable in his "wire-fu" battles.
Perhaps the saddest aspect to this so-called "final chapter" in the X-Men saga is the complete lack of heart put into the characters. Rogue's heartbreaking journey from the first film ends with a dull thud. Professor Xavier is so out of character that he just comes off like a complete prick, and Wolverine is reduced to a timid self-parody; spouting one-liners at all the appropriate moments (which are still pretty funny, actually). Jean Grey spends the movie looking bored, Storm is a waste of screen time, and Colossus gets one line. The only characters that seem to have any life to them at all are the Beast, newcomer Ellen Page as Kitty Pride, and as always, Sir Ian McKellen, who turns in a tremendous performance despite the awful dialogue. (Of course, the guy could read the phone book and it would sound menacing and awesome.)
I'm sounding pretty harsh here, but it's only because this could have been a great film if they had only waited another year to develop a better script and get Bryan Singer back on board. I would still recommend seeing it at a matinee, because despite all the negative aspects I've talked about, there is a lot of cool stuff in this movie…like seeing Angel fly, finally getting a Danger Room sequence, Famke Jannsen unleashing some of the Dark Phoenix force, Mystique kicking ass like usual, and the opening sequence of the movie is fantastic (I'm not going to spoil it for you here, though).
Oh, and if you go, make sure you stay after the credits for a bonus scene. It sets up a sequel nicely. Let's just hope Brett Ratner is nowhere near it.

|( 1990s: ) 1996
The Susurluk car crash, the event which lead to the coining of the phrase "deep state".
|An important year in the exposure of the deep state, both in US and especially in Turkey.
1996 was a very important year in the exposure of the deep state. In Turkey the Susurluk car crash clearly confirmed a lot of people's suspicions about a high level nexus of government and criminal leaders, and gave a word to describe this: the 'deep state'. In USA, Gary Webb was the first person to establish just how effective the WWW would be in circumventing the deep state controled commercially-controlled media. The US establishment forst ignored his revelations, then when public pressure was mounting for a response, dismissed them with the claim that they contained nothing new.
Exposure of CIA Drug Trafficking

In 1996 USA journalist Gary Webb published Dark Alliance, a series of articles which clearly detailed CIA involvement in the illegal drug trade. More importantly still, it proved the effectiveness of the emerging World Wide Web as a means of circumventing traditional commercially-controlled media. By posting a lot of evidence online, he had answers to those critics who attempted to discredit him. Having checked the details, his newspaper initially stood by him, before caving to pressure from the establishment, which initially ignored the expose, then said they were old news.
Other Internet activism
The vintage leak site, Cryptome (an inspiration for Wikispooks[1]) was set up in 1996. Over 20 years on, it remains extremely useful.
Susurluk car crash

- Full article: Susurluk car crash
On 3 November 1996, an assassination was carried out by means of a car crash in Susurluk, Turkey. Three passengers were killed: Abdullah Çatlı (a drug trafficking assassin), his girlfriend (a beauty queen) & Huseyin Kocadağ (a former Istanbul Deputy police Chief), while the 4th passenger, Sedat Bucak MP, was injured. What is more, Çatlı was found carrying guns, drugs, cash, a fake passport and apparently genuine diplomatic credentials issued by the Turkish government, facts which exceeded the deep state could not conceal. "For weeks on end the press and the TV channels were dominated by the scandal and the newest revelations of the corrupt 'Susurluk state'. Nearly 100,000 workers marched in protest in the Turkish capital demanding the truth about the stay-behind soldiers while people on the streets in opinion polls expressed their belief that the Turkish judicial system was not working properly and that the government was corrupt, declaring that they were sick and tired of all the violence and secret operations."[2] This top level corruption network was termed "'Derin devlet" in Turkish which translates into English as the "deep state".

There is nothing that a homeowner will not do to have a neat, safe and a clean house. But believe it or not, it is no simple task to maintain a home. Regular repairs and modifications are part of the routine of maintaining a serene home. One crucial part of the house that requires regular maintenance is the roof.
Roof maintenance is mandatory for the safety of the residents and the house itself. This is because, it is this part of the house that covers and protects the inside from external elements such as snow, rain and even the scorching sun.
Roof maintenance involves inspecting the roof for any signs of wear and tear or weather damage and making corrective repairs thereof. There several things to look out for when carrying out roof repairs. These include:
- Checking the metal sheet for any signs of rusts. Rust weakens the roof and may lead to leakages and subsequent destruction of roof. Paint should be applied on the identified spots to cover the rusty patches.
- Looking for any signs of wear and tear such as missing and damaged shingles. Immediate replacements should be done to avoid replacement of the whole roof in the future.
- Inspecting the roof for litter and sediment deposits on the roof. These deposits may block the roof drainage causing leaks and water logging on the roof. Regular sweeping should be done to eliminate these deposits.
- Checking the roof for any snow accumulation. Snow can accumulate and build up on the roof very fast especially during winter. If left unchecked, the weight of the accumulated snow could get so heavy that it leads to the collapse of the roof. Snow should be constantly removed by using rakes or other appropriate tools.
For more information on what to look out for while undertaking roof maintenance visit collegestationroofing.net
Regular roof maintenance may be taken for granted but failure to undertake this essential activity may lead to huge future losses. As the adage quotes, 'prevention is better than cure' regular roof maintenance schedule will prevent huge future losses.
Another benefit of regularly maintaining the roof is that the residents of the house will always remain safe. Incidences of roof collapse and subsequent accidents can be prevented by routine roof checks and repairs.
Protection of property is another advantage to be noted. The property in the house is protected from external elements such the rain and snow. Regular roof maintenance ensures that the property protection is guaranteed. Damage due to leakages and collapsing of the roof can significantly be avoided.
