David Is Anointed King. 1After this, David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah?" The LORD replied to him: Go up. Then David asked, "Where shall I go?" He replied: To Hebron. 2So David went up there, with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.a 3David also brought up his men with their families, and they dwelt in the towns of Hebron. 4Then the men of Judah came there and anointed David king over the house of Judah.
A report reached David that the people of Jabesh-gilead had buried Saul.b 5So David sent messengers to the people of Jabesh-gilead and said to them: "May you be blessed by the LORD for having done this kindness to your lord Saul in burying him. 6And now may the LORD show you kindness and fidelity. For my part, I will show generosity to you for having done this. 7So take courage and prove yourselves valiant, for though your lord Saul is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
Ishbaal King of Israel. 8Abner, son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, took Ishbaal,* son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim,c 9where he made him king over Gilead, the Asherites, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, and the rest of Israel. 10Ishbaal, son of Saul, was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he reigned two years; but the house of Judah followed David. 11In all, David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah seven years and six months.d
Combat near Gibeon. 12Now Abner, son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal, Saul's son, set out from Mahanaim for Gibeon. 13Joab, son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David also set out and encountered them at the pool of Gibeon. And they sat down, one group on one side of the pool and the other on the opposite side. 14Then Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men rise and perform for us."* Joab replied, "All right." 15So they rose and were counted off: twelve of the Benjaminites of Ishbaal, son of Saul, and twelve of David's servants. 16Then each one grasped his opponent's head and thrust his sword into his opponent's side, and they all fell down together.* And so that place was named the Field of the Sides; it is in Gibeon.
Death of Asahel. 17The battle that day was very fierce, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David's servants. 18The three sons of Zeruiah were there—Joab, Abishai, and Asahel.e Asahel, who was as fleet of foot as a gazelle in the open field, 19set out after Abner, turning neither right nor left in his pursuit. 20Abner turned around and said, "Is that you, Asahel?" He replied, "Yes." 21Abner said to him, "Turn right or left; seize one of the young men and take what you can strip from him." But Asahel would not stop pursuing him. 22Once more Abner said to Asahel: "Stop pursuing me! Why must I strike you to the ground? How could I show my face to your brother Joab?"f 23Still he refused to stop. So Abner struck him in the abdomen with the heel of his spear, and the weapon protruded from his back. He fell there and died on the spot. All who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, halted. 24But Joab and Abishai continued the pursuit of Abner. The sun had gone down when they came to the hill of Ammah which lies east of the valley toward the wilderness near Geba.
Truce Between Joab and Abner. 25Here the Benjaminites rallied around Abner, forming a single group, and made a stand on a hilltop. 26Then Abner called to Joab and said: "Must the sword devour forever? Do you not know that afterward there will be bitterness? How long before you tell the people to stop pursuing their brothers?" 27Joab replied, "As God lives, if you had not spoken, it would be morning before the people would be stopped from pursuing their brothers." 28Joab then sounded the horn, and all the people came to a halt, pursuing Israel no farther and fighting no more. 29Abner and his men marched all night long through the Arabah, crossed the Jordan, marched all through the morning, and came to Mahanaim. 30Joab, coming from the pursuit of Abner, assembled all the men. Nineteen other servants of David were missing, besides Asahel. 31But David's servants had struck down and killed three hundred and sixty men of Benjamin, followers of Abner. 32They took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb in Bethlehem. Joab and his men made an all-night march, and dawn found them in Hebron.
* [2:8] Ishbaal: here and elsewhere in the Hebrew text, his name appears as "Ishbosheth"; the second part of Ishbaal, -baal, refers to the Canaanite god Baal, and is therefore suppressed, replaced by bosheth, "shame."
* [2:14] Perform: lit., "play."
* [2:16] The nature of this gruesome game is not clear, and the place name is variously given in the older texts.
a. [2:2] 1 Sm 25:42–43.
b. [2:4] 1 Sm 31:11–13.
c. [2:8] 1 Sm 14:50.

Puttenham - Sound Testing - 020 3390 0301
Our sound testing consultants specialise in the provision of high quality and practical acoustic consultancy to both the public and private sectors in Puttenham and the surrounding areas. Typically working with residential and commercial developers, architects, local planning authorities and environmental services.
Having been involved in building and architectural projects at all stages of development, from the specification of the external building envelope and internal separating elements, through to pre-completion testing, our expert advice has been sought after for a variety of projects. From new build, refurbished and converted developments including residential, commercial, entertainment, leisure and hotels, in addition to a wide variety of mixed-use developments.
We strongly believe that our sound testing service delivery around the Puttenham area is second to none and that clients retain our expert services because of our continuous commitment to providing high quality and cost-effective advice.
We offer professional acoustic consultancy in Puttenham, involving comprehensive services across all aspects of sound testing, noise measurement, assessment and control. All of our engineers are certified sound testers under the SITMA scheme.
For a quote or more information, call one of our consultants on 020 3390 0301 or email email@example.com
We actively encourage our Puttenham clients to seek our services at the earliest opportunity so sound testing and the integration of any acoustic issues can feature into the overall design of a development; removing the need for costly revisions.
Building Regulations
Approved Document E in the Building Regulations is what outlines what's required when it comes to sound tests, amongst other things. There's a lot of information to take in from it but there are two main points we need to know. Firstly, it's the responsibility of the person carrying out the building work to make sure that the right sound tests are undertaken. Secondly, all new dwellings should be tested as well as buildings where the use of it is to be changed. For example, a house being converted into flats or a factory becoming a hotel.
How Many Tests Will I Need?
A set of sound tests is usually made up of six individual tests - two airborne walls, two airborne floors and two impact floors. A full set like this is required when properties, like in a block of flats, are separated fron one another by both a wall and a floor. If your dwellings are not laid out in this way then a full set will not be needed and you will only need a combination of these sets depending on how the properties are split.
Document E of Building Regulations describes how at least one test should be undertaken for every ten properties in a group. Where confusion can occur is what is meant by the term 'group' as it may not necessarily mean ten percent of all buildings.
A group relates to the type of property you'll be testing. So flats, for example, are one group and houses are another. If you have ten properties but six are houses and four are flats then you will need to test one from each group - not one from the overall pack as it may first appear. Within these groups it can get even more complicated with sub-groups relating to the type of construction used and how one property differs from the next. To avoid confusion and make sure you get the right amount of tests done first time around, we suggest giving our sound team a call on 020 3390 0301.
Here are some quick examples. A hotel with 135 rooms would need 14 full sets - one in ten separated by floors and walls. 15 terraced houses would need 2 sets of 2 airborne walls - one in ten separated by walls only.
What Can Be Tested?
Sound tests can only be done between living spaces. A study, bedroom, dining room, living room and kitchen all count as living spaces. Stairs, hallways and corridors do not count as a living area.
If there is nowhere in the property that meets this living space to living space requirement then no test is needed.
In July 2003, the new Approved Document E 'Resistance to the Passage of Sound' (ADE 2003) of the Building Regulations came into force across the UK, including Puttenham. This requires that new residential properties and rooms for residential purposes be sound tested (or "pre-completion tested") to demonstrate compliance with the explicit sound insulation performance requirements of ADE 2003.
Guidance in ADE 2003 on pre-completion testing indicates that sound tests should be carried out at a rate of one set of tests per each construction sub-group completed, no matter the size of the development, and thereafter at least one set of tests every ten completions (assuming no failures).
The onus is on the developer to perform pre-completion testing before the property can be 'released to market' and it is now an offence not to perform this test. A number of our clients have asked us about the practical application of RSDs, as in some instances the option for construction is reduced and construction costs may be significantly higher than those of a non-RSD structure.
We often advise property developers, contractors, housing associations and local authorities in Puttenham on the implications of ADE 2003. Advice is given on the materials and construction details for separating floors and walls and the key interfaces with other building elements. We also offer advice on the additional requirements of ADE 2003 including the control of reverberation in common areas and the performance of internal walls and floors.
Pre-Completion Testing - The following table outlines the sets of tests that are required for new and converted properties.
Property Types | Test Requirements |
Dwelling-houses Including bungalows |
Normally, one set of tests will comprise of 2 sound insulation tests (SITs) and 2 airborne tests: |
Flats with separating floor but not walls |
Normally, one set of tests should comprise of 4 individual SITs - 2 x airborne, 2 x impact: |
Flats with separating floor and walls |
One set of tests should comprise of 6 individual SITs - 4 x airborne, 2 x impact: |
Rooms for residential purposes |
To conduct a set of tests, the sound insulation between the main rooms should be measured according to the principals set out above for new buildings and material change of use, but adapting them to suit the circumstances. |

The pain, anguish and fear comes through as a young mother who held on to her baby boy as their Oso, Wash., home was swallowed by a mudslide on March 22 describes the harrowing ordeal.
Here's how our colleagues at Seattle's KPLU begin their story:
"Amanda Skorjanc was sitting in her kitchen with her baby son, Duke, when she heard 'what sounded like a truck off a rumble strip.'" 'And then it continued, and I thought, Oh, maybe it's an earthquake. And then the light started to shake. The light started to blink,' said the 25-year-old mother."Skorjanc looked out the side door of her Oso home, and saw nothing. Then she looked out the front door." 'It was like a movie. Houses were exploding,' she said, fighting back tears. 'The next thing I see is the neighbor's chimney coming in through our front door. And I turned and I held Duke, and I did not let him go.' "
Not long before the mudslide, Skorjanc's husband, Ty, had kissed his wife and son goodbye before heading to a local hardware store. He was out of the neighborhood before the earth moved.
As The Associated Press adds, Skorjanc had then settled in to watch some videos with Duke. That's when the mudslide struck. "When the earth stopped moving," the AP writes, "Skorjanc was trapped in a pocket formed by her damaged couch and pieces of her roof. She had two broken legs and a broken arm. ... She also suffered injuries to her face, including an eye socket."
Duke, who is 6 months old, suffered a skull fracture. Mother and son are recovering. Skorjanc gave her first interview from her hospital bed Wednesday. Her account of what it was like in those terrible moments on March 22 and afterward is heartbreaking.
"With her arm broken and legs trapped in mud," KPLU writes of what happened to Skorjanc, "she could do nothing but sit and wait with her son, confused about what had just happened.
"He was dirty and a little blue, and I thought I was losing him," she said. "I would pat on his chest, and say, 'Stay with me, bud.' "
The eventual wail of sirens, Skorjanc says, was "the most amazing sound I ever heard." Rescuers were on the way. They used chain saws to remove debris and get to Skorjanc and Duke.
Now, Skorjanc says she feels "so blessed, and at the same time, I feel — and I know I shouldn't — but I feel guilty. I have my family, and some don't."

Free Fight
It's a new year and a new category to kick off the 2011 unofficial awards season - Import of the Year
2011 was a pivotal year in the history of the UFC, as it was when fighters from the Zuffa-owned WEC, and later Strikeforce, organizations began cementing their place in the Octagon. So when it came time to put together the 2011 slate of awards, it was almost unfair to put true Octagon rookies in with those who came over to the UFC after fully-established careers in the WEC or Strikeforce. In response, for the first (and likely last) time, we're instituting the unofficial Import of the Year award for those standouts who may have debuted in the UFC in 2011, but who had already begun building their championship level resumes in two other top level promotions.
10 (tie) – Danny Castillo
It was disappointing to hear boos greet Danny Castillo's split decision win over Anthony Njokuani at UFC 141 last Saturday night, because if anyone deserved an ovation for his 2011 efforts, it's "Last Call," who stepped up to the plate four times, impressively defeating Joe Stevenson and Shamar Bailey and eking out a close one over Njokuani, with the only blemish being an August loss to Jacob Volkmann. So let this be an unofficial round of applause for Castillo, a fighter who has earned himself a nice little vacation.
10 (tie) – Alistair Overeem
It's always a tough call putting in a fighter with just one UFC fight under his belt into these lists, but former Strikeforce, Dream, and K-1 champion earned his stripes in just two minutes and 26 seconds, as he blasted out former UFC champ Brock Lesnar in last Saturday's UFC 141 main event. "The Reem," besieged by a break with his management company and longtime gym, as well as his mother's illness, put everything aside for one night and delivered on the sport's biggest stage. In the process, he earned a shot at Junior dos Santos' heavyweight crown, already making 2012 a year to look forward to.
9 – Chad Mendes
Unbeaten in a weight class where it's difficult to get any win, let alone avoid a loss, Chad Mendes has been "Money" thus far in his career, using an unstoppable ground attack to sail to the top of the featherweight division. In 2011, he followed up his 4-0 stint in the WEC with victories over Michihiro Omigawa and Rani Yahya, and if he can keep his streak going by defeating Jose Aldo for the featherweight title on January 14th in the main event of UFC 142, he will become a frontrunner for 2012 Fighter of the Year honors.
8 – Michael McDonald
Currently the youngest fighter in the UFC, 20-year old Michael McDonald may eventually turn into the best 135-pounder in the organization if he keeps on the track he's currently on. McDonald debuted in the Octagon in March with a Fight of the Night decision win over Edwin Figueroa that was notable for McDonald's offensive variety and Figueroa's resilience after nearly being finished numerous times during the bout. In May, McDonald won his second UFC bout, as he decisioned tough Chris Cariaso, and he finished up the year with a Knockout of the Night victory over Alex Soto in November. With his youthful energy, aggressive style, and well-rounded skills, his potential is almost limitless.
7 – Dustin Poirier
Anyone who watched Dustin Poirier's final WEC fight, a 53 second blitz of Zack Micklewright in November of 2010, knew that the Louisiana kid was a certified blue chip prospect. But raise your hand if you thought that he would blow through fellow phenom Josh Grispi at UFC 125 in January. Thought so. But that's just what he did, scoring a dominant three round decision win in a bout that was as one-sided as you can get without a knockout being scored. In June, "The Diamond" made it two in a row in the Octagon with a decision victory over highly-regarded Brit Jason Young, and he showed even more polish in a UFC on FOX submission of fellow prospect Pablo Garza. Expect big things from Poirier in 2012.
6 – Chan Sung Jung
After his classic 2010 brawl with Leonard Garcia and his subsequent knockout loss to George Roop, Chan Sung Jung promised to show more dimensions to his game in 2011. And did he ever, putting his all offense / no defense "Korean Zombie" style to the side but still bringing the fireworks, as he pulled off the first Twister submission in UFC history against Garcia in their March rematch and then knocking out Mark Hominick in just seven seconds in December. What can the "Zombie" do for an encore? We can't wait to find out.
5 – Urijah Faber
Former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber's bantamweight experiment continued to prove to be a successful one in 2011, as he sandwiched solid wins over Eddie Wineland and Brian Bowles with a razor-thin decision loss to Dominick Cruz in their July title fight. The action-packed bout has prompted a 2012 rubber match that will be preceded by a coaching assignment for both on season 15 of The Ultimate Fighter. It's the perfect vehicle to not only build anticipation for their third bout, but to introduce the uninitiated to what top level bantamweights bring to the Octagon night in and not out.
4 – Donald Cerrone
Unlike baseball, numbers don't often tell the story of a fighter's performance in the Octagon. But when it comes to Donald Cerrone, all you need to look at to describe his 2011 UFC campaign is the fact that he fought five times, won four, and brought home four post-fight awards. And though he'll probably point to his Fight of the Night win over Paul Kelly, KO of the Night over Charles Oliveira, and Submission of the Night over Dennis Siver as the highlights (and let's not forget his decision win over Vagner Rocha), for fight fans, his year-ending loss to Nate Diaz in yet another Fight of the Night may be the indelible image of 2011's final fight card.
3 – Benson Henderson
In December of 2010, it was expected that then-WEC lightweight champion Benson Henderson was going to beat Anthony Pettis in the final WEC event and then go on to a UFC title fight. It didn't happen that way and after losing to Pettis, "Smooth" scored a workmanlike decision win over Mark Bocek in his Octagon debut at UFC 129. But then Henderson kicked into gear, and with back-to-back wins over Jim Miller and Clay Guida that captivated the fight world, he earned his 2012 title shot against UFC lightweight boss Frankie Edgar, and he did it the only way we expect things to be done by the Arizonan – in exciting fashion.
2 – Jose Aldo
Already a WEC champion at 145 pounds and a member of the mythical pound-for-pound club, Jose Aldo picked up where he left off in the UFC, scoring a hard-fought five round win over Mark Hominick at UFC 129 in April and then turning back the challenge of Kenny Florian at UFC 137 in October. That's ten rounds of action against world-class opposition, and while he hasn't been blasting out foes the way he did in the blue cage, he showed more facets of his game in both UFC bouts, making him an even more complex puzzle for challengers to figure out in 2012 and beyond.
1 – Dominick Cruz
If you look down at the list of top bantamweight contenders, UFC champion Dominick Cruz has defeated most of them, and in 2011, he introduced himself to UFC fans with two more stellar performances, evening the score with Urijah Faber in their July rematch and then turning back the challenge of talented Demetrious Johnson three months later. With his fellow Ultimate Fighter 15 coach Faber waiting in the wings for a third bout, and Brazil's Renan Barao knocking on the door, Cruz is likely to have a busy 2012, but that's the way "The Dominator" likes it.
Honorable Mention - Ricardo Lamas, Scott Jorgensen, Renan Barao, Joseph Benavidez, Cung Le, Demetrious Johnson, Diego Nunes, Miguel Torres, Erik Koch, Anthony Njokuani, Anthony Pettis, Bart Palaszewski, Yves Jabouin, Chris Cariaso
ED NOTE - Fighters who have previously competed in the UFC before 2011, such as Nick Diaz, are not eligible for this award...

A heating system converts fuel into heat which then flows through a house. The efficiency of a heating system depends on the amount of fuel consumed to meet heating needs. Using less fuel means your system has increased its energy efficiency.
Check your heating system first
One way to maximize output using the least amount of fuel is to reduce air leakage. Before deciding to replace or upgrade your present heating system you will have to consider how much of your present system can be saved. Can the boiler or furnace be salvaged by tuning or retrofitting? Are the heating ducts or water distribution pipes in good condition? Heating system work can be very inexpensive or quite costly depending on how much efficiency you want to buy.
Oil and gas fired furnaces require a constant supply of air to operate, because fire needs oxygen to burn. Air is also needed to exhaust the products of combustion up the chimney. Sometimes a furnace may become starved for air because household air is being rapidly expelled from the house through other routes such as a roaring fireplace, an upper-level window left open, a clothesdryer or exhaust fan left operating continuously.
An air-starved furnace can cause carbon monoxide to buildup in quantities that can be dangerous.
Warning signs of inadequate ventilation are stuffy atmosphere, lingering odors from in complete combustion, back drafts and smoking fireplaces.
Additional ventilation can sometimes be required in houses with heating systems that require little or no indoor air, electrically heated homes, homes with chimney-free condensing furnaces, or houses with a fuel burning furnace enclosed in a room with air for combustion from the outside. Furthermore, super energy-efficient houses usually require special ventilation.
Improve heating efficiency
If you decide to change your system, you'll have to consider what type of fuel you want to use. Cost and availability of fuel is usually the deciding factor. If you're keeping your present system, here are a few ways you can improve its operation.
- Turning down the thermostat is a good way to save heat. There are several brands of programmable thermostats on the market today that will regulate your home's temperature.
- Hot air ducts are notorious wasters of heat and money. If your basement feels too warm, too much heat is probably seeping out of your ducts. You can seal all joints and seams in the ducting with vinyl duct tape. Some ducts registers empty into the basement and these should be sealed or closed if they are not needed.
- Ducts that run through unheated basements or attics should always be insulated. Fiberglass batting or commercial duct wrap can be used.
- Make sure both return air grills and supply registrars are kept free from any obstruction, including drapes and furniture. With forced air-systems, the furnace filters should be changed regularly.
- With hot water systems, the exposed accessible heating pipes should be insulated with flexible foil- faced fiberglass at least 19mm thick. A rigid, foil-faced insulating board between the wall and the radiator will reflect much more heat into the room.
- Some old hot water systems rely on gravity to circulate the water, and adding a circulating pump to the system can lead to potential fuel savings of as much as 30 percent.
- If there is an aquastat on the boiler, (a water temperature control) the water temperature can be reduced to about 49 Celsius of 120 Fahrenheit during warmer parts of the heating season. This reduced setting will prevent overheating your house in the spring and fall.
- A more expensive option is to install an automatic aquastat to reduce water temperature as the outdoor temperature rises. (If your boiler is made of stainless steel, or if your main boiler also heats your domestic hot water, you shouldn't reduce the water.
- "Downsizing" your oil furnace can reduce fuel bills by seven to 10 per cent. Downsizing means reducing the firing rate by changing the burner nozzle to a smaller size.
- Retention head burners that can save as much as 20 to 25 per cent of your fuel can also be added to some furnace units. Retention head burners mix the air and oil spray very quickly which permits the combustion of oil with less air. Less air entering the burner means that less heat escapes out the chimney.
If you think you might be having problems with household air supply, contact a registered heating contractor for advice. If the problem turns out to be inadequate air supply, the contractor will be able to find ways to bring in outside air. There are specific requirements for this which depend on the type of system you have.

Western lawmakers and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell urge changes to the way America pays to fight and recover from wildfires, starting with preserving money that's meant for fire prevention. They met with fire officials Monday who predicted a busy fire season for much of the West.
NPR's Nathan Rott reports for our Newscast unit:
"Secretary Jewell says her department and the U.S. Forest Service spend more than $3 billion annually fighting fires. A third of that is spent on megafires, the biggest 1 percent of any season's blazes.
"Jewell says the federal government is hoping to change that by paying for those massive fires with a emergency fund, the way they do other natural disasters.
"'If tornadoes and hurricanes and earthquakes are natural disasters we have to use for emergency money, let's do the same for the top one percent of wildland fires,' she said.
"President Obama's budget proposal has the framework of that change written into it. Lawmakers from both parties have pledged their support."
Jewell met with Idaho's Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter, along with Republicans Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch and Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho and Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon today at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise.
"Something is fundamentally wrong when we fight forest fires by raiding fire prevention funds," Merkley said, according to Aaron Kunz of Idaho Public Television, who was at today's session.
"If we more effectively manage our lands, fewer fires will become disasters," Risch said, according to the AP.
The news agency says fire officials issued their expectations for the coming wildfire season:
"Experts at the National Interagency Fire Center predicted a busy wildfire season in Southern California, New Mexico and Arizona this year, expanding into Northern California and southern Oregon later in the year. All the moisture in the eastern United States this winter should mitigate the fire season there, the center predicted."

The average cost of Sliding and Folding Garage doors in Hackney is around £395. However, it's important to remember that this is just an average and may not include all relevant costs. The exact price you'll pay for your new garage door will depend on several factors, such as:
Bi-fold garage doors are very similar to sliding doors except that they only move up and down in one direction instead of opening like a pair of sliding glass doors or folding like accordion panels.
This allows them to be installed in less than half the space required by sliding doors while still providing plenty of room for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles to park inside your garage comfortably. Bi-fold garage doors are typically made from aluminium or steel with a high gloss finish that matches most homes' exteriors perfectly if desired.
This type of garage door is ideal for homes with corners where traditional straight doors will not fit properly. They feature a curved design that allows them to fit around any corner without compromising strength or stability.
The average cost of Round the Corner Garage Door in Hackney is £1,800. The cost may differ depending on the project, the material used, and the construction area.

The average cost of a Triple Garage Door in Hackney is £1,000. This price is based on the most frequent amount paid for this service, with all types of garages included.
Insulated garage doors help reduce energy costs by keeping heat from the sun and cold from the wind. They also help keep noise from outside out so you can enjoy the peace inside your home. Choose from insulated steel or wood garage doors in various styles, sizes, and colours for the best insulation that suits your budget and needs.
Composite garage doors offer a combination of beauty and durability that is hard to match with any other material used in making garage doors today! Composite garage doors come in many styles— traditional and contemporary — so they will fit perfectly into any home design.
The average cost of Garage Door Costs in Hackney is £200-£300. This is a reasonable price considering that the materials used to make the door and its installation are durable and efficient. A garage door can be made from different materials such as steel and aluminium. Steel is more durable than aluminium but heavier and more expensive.
Garage doors are often one of the most overlooked items in a home. Most people take them for granted and don't realise how beneficial they can be. Here are some of the benefits of garage doors:
A garage door is more than just a way to enter and exit your home. It also provides security against intruders trying to gain access to your home.
A garage door can help keep your personal belongings safe and away from prying eyes. This privacy can be especially helpful if you have young children, pets, or valuables that need to be kept away from others who may not respect your privacy.
Garage doors add insulation to your home, which can help reduce energy costs by keeping heat and cold out when needed and staying warm when needed during winter months.
A Hackney garage door makes it easy for residents with limited mobility or strength issues to enter and exit their homes without assistance from others.
This is especially beneficial for those who may have an emergency arise while at home where they need assistance immediately but cannot open the front door because it requires strength beyond what they currently have available to them at that moment in time.
A new garage door can increase the perceived value of your home by as much as 10 per cent, according to Remodelling magazine. This makes it great to add value to a fixer-upper or flip project.
An attractive garage door can make all the difference when it comes to first impressions on prospective buyers or guests visiting your house for an open house, sales event, or other occasions where aesthetics matter.
A professionally installed garage door will make any home look more modern and inviting.
Garage doors are not just for Hackney garages. They can be installed in a wide range of places. Some of the most common places where people install garage doors include:
Garage doors are the most common type of door in a residential setting. They provide security and protection from the elements and can be customised to fit any style or architecture.
Barn garage doors are similar to Hackney home garage doors in providing security and protection from the elements.
The main difference is that barn garage doors are larger than home garage doors because they must be able to accommodate large equipment such as farm equipment. They also require more maintenance because they are exposed to extreme temperatures and weather conditions.
People who live in areas with moderate climates often choose to build carports as shelters for their cars instead of installing traditional garages that take up valuable space inside their homes or on their property lots.
Installing a garage door over your carport gives you access to your vehicle and lets you park it under cover when it rains or snows outside so that it doesn't get damaged by weather conditions too much.
An external garage door is installed outside your home's wall. It protects against weather conditions while allowing easy access to your vehicle. External garage doors are typically made of wood or steel roll-up panels that slide into the ceiling when not in use, allowing cars to enter without lifting them manually.
Garage doors are a big part of your home, and it's important to find one that fits your style. We have many styles, whether you want a traditional garage door or something more modern.
These doors feature vertical panels made of wood or metal, which add a decorative touch to your garage. They come in various colours and materials, including aluminium, fibreglass, and steel.
The best choice for contemporary homes with an industrial feel, modern garage doors are often made with steel frames and glass panels.
These doors can be opaque or transparent in Hackney, giving you more natural light inside your garage. Other modern garage door designs include retractable screens that open up when needed and close automatically when not in use.
Choose a garage door in the same style as your home for a traditional look. Traditional garage doors are often made of wood or aluminium and come in various colours and textures. Modern versions of this style feature windows for natural light but can still provide privacy.
The designer garage door is often used to enhance the home's exterior or add curb appeal. These doors come in various styles, from Victorian-era designs to modern steel panels. You can also use them to create a focal point that draws attention to your home's front entrance.
If you want something unique, consider having your custom-made garage door designed just for you. This is an expensive option but could be worth it if it's something you'll enjoy seeing every day when you leave for work or return home at night.
Glazed garage doors are made from metal, wood, or fibreglass and have an insulated panel in the centre where glass is installed. This makes them easier to see through than solid metal doors. This type of door is also lighter than solid metal ones, so they take less time and effort to open and close.
Garage doors are a big part of the exterior look of your house in Hackney. They are also essential to its security and safety, keeping intruders out while letting you in and out. There are many materials that you can choose from when it comes to garage doors. Here is a brief overview of each type:

The type of garage door you need will affect the overall price. For example, if you want to install an insulated garage door, then this may be more expensive than installing a regular one.
The size of your new door will determine how much it costs and how long it will take to install.
For those who want to avoid the hassle of pushing a button to open or close their garage door, automatic models are the answer. These doors open automatically, so you can spend less time worrying about them. The automatic feature also makes getting in and out of your garage easier when you need to leave or return home.
A garage door can be a major part of your home's curb appeal, but it's important to ensure it fits in with the rest of your home's exterior. Garage doors come in various colours and styles, so you should be able to find one that suits your taste.

Or not.
With the governor visiting, Montgomery County school officials might have been tempted to throw up some slides showing rising test scores or burgeoning Advanced Placement participation.
Instead, school leaders spoke candidly yesterday about the seemingly insoluble problem of getting students from some minority groups to succeed in advanced math courses.
Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) listened as school officials gave a PowerPoint presentation showing three schools, one each from affluent, middle-class and low-income neighborhoods, all with moribund math achievement among blacks and Hispanics.
It's not the schools; it's the bad instruction. Bad instruction that is present in most schools. Some kids just tolerate whole language and fuzzy math better than others. These are the smart kids who will succeed despite the instruction. The rest of the kids not so much.
Montgomery school officials were showing off M-Stat, their version of a celebrated initiative that uses statistics and computers to identify and analyze problems. The school system is among the first in the nation to adopt a variant of CompStat, the New York City police program that analyzes crime trends. The "Stat" concept has drawn notice not only for its success but also for encouraging lively -- and occasionally sharp -- exchanges among top brass.
Do you really need a computer to analyze and identify the problem? It's right in front of your face.
"M-Stat is really designed to focus on, 'Where do we have achievement gaps, and what are we going to do about them?' " said Donald H. Kress, chief school performance officer for the Montgomery schools.
Problem is they don't know what to do about the achievement gaps. Or, at least, they don't want to change what they are presently doing.
Ideally, the meetings stir revelations. Yesterday's session, for example, left participants with the disquieting fact that black and Hispanic students aren't reaping the benefits of attending high-performing schools in affluent communities.
One principal, representing a middle-class neighborhood, predicted that her minority math data would "flat-line" this year because the school is focusing on other reforms. In the often sugarcoated world of public education, that was a bold admission.
Finally, a truthful article on education from WaPo. I'm shocked.

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel elsewhere in the body (most commonly from the leg), travels to an artery in the lung, and forms an occlusion (blockage) of the artery.
A blood clot (thrombus) that forms in a blood vessel in one area of the body, breaks off, and travels to another area of the body through the bloodstream is called an embolus. An embolus can lodge itself in a blood vessel, blocking the blood supply to a particular organ. This blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus is called an embolism.
An embolism to the lung may cause serious life-threatening consequences and, potentially, death. Most commonly, a PE is the result of a condition called deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the deep veins of the leg).
The heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins make up the body's circulatory system. Blood is pumped with great force from the heart into the arteries, then into the capillaries (small blood vessels in the tissues) and returns to the heart through the veins. Much of the force of the heartbeat is lost when the blood enters the veins and results in the slowing down of the blood flow through the veins back to the heart. Under certain conditions, decreased blood flow may contribute to clot formation.
Blood clotting is a normal process that occurs in the body to prevent bleeding. The body makes blood clots and then breaks them down. Under certain circumstances, the body may be unable to break down a clot, which may result in a serious health condition.
Abnormal blood clotting in the veins is related to a combination of several problems such as "sluggish" blood flow through the veins, an over-increase in clot forming factors, and/or an injury to the blood vessel wall.
Blood clots can form in arteries and/or veins. Clots formed in veins are called venous clots. Veins of the legs can be classified as superficial veins (close to the surface of the skin) or deep veins (located near the bone and surrounded by muscle).
Venous clots most often occur in the deep veins of the legs. This condition is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or deep vein clot. Once a clot has formed in the deep veins of the leg, there is a potential for part of the clot to break off and travel (embolize) through the bloodstream to another area of the body. Deep vein thrombosis is the most common cause of a pulmonary embolism. Therefore, the term venous thromboembolism (VTE) may refer to deep vein thrombosis and/or the complication, pulmonary embolism.
Other less frequent sources of pulmonary embolism are a fat embolus, amniotic fluid embolus, air bubbles, and a deep vein thrombosis in the upper body. Clots may also form on the end of an indwelling intravenous (IV) catheter, break off, and travel to the lungs.
Risk factors that are associated with the processes that may increase the risk of a venous thromboembolism include:
genetic conditions that increase the risk of blood clot formation
surgery or trauma (especially to the legs) or orthopedic surgery
situations in which mobility is limited, such as extended bed rest, flying or riding long distances, or paralysis
previous history of clots
older age
cancer and cancer therapy
certain medical conditions, such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension (high blood pressure), stroke, and inflammatory bowel disease (chronic inflammation of the digestive tract)
certain medications, such as oral contraceptives (birth control pills) and hormone replacement therapy (estrogen pills for postmenopausal women)
pregnancy (during and after pregnancy, including cesarean section)
varicose veins (enlarged veins in the legs)
cigarette smoking
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases have different risk factors.
Although these risk factors increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors. Knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
The following are the most common symptoms for pulmonary embolism. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently:
sudden shortness of breath (most common)
chest pain (usually worse with breathing)
a feeling of anxiety
a feeling of dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
palpitations (heart racing)
coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
low blood pressure
symptoms of deep vein thrombosis, such as:
pain in the affected leg (may occur only when standing or walking)
swelling in the leg
soreness, tenderness, redness, and/or warmth in the leg(s)
redness and/or discolored skin
You may or may not have these symptoms should a pulmonary embolism occur. Usually, if a PE is suspected, the physician will check your legs for evidence of a deep vein thrombosis.
The type and extent of symptoms of a pulmonary embolism will depend on the size of the embolism and whether the person already has existing heart and/or lung problems.
The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Pulmonary embolism is often difficult to diagnose because the signs and symptoms of PE mimic those of many other conditions and diseases.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a pulmonary embolism may include any, or a combination, of the following:
chest x-ray - a type of diagnostic radiology procedure used to assess the lungs, as well as the heart. Chest x-rays may provide important information regarding the size, shape, contour, and anatomic location of the heart, lungs, bronchi, great vessels (aorta and pulmonary arteries), and mediastinum (area in the middle of the chest separating the lungs).
ventilation-perfusion scan (V/Q scan) - a type of nuclear radiology procedure in which a tiny amount of a radioactive substance is used during the procedure to assist in the examination of the lungs. A ventilation scan evaluates ventilation, or the movement of air into and out of the bronchi and bronchioles. A perfusion scan evaluates blood flow within the lungs.
pulmonary angiogram - an x-ray image of the blood vessels used to evaluate various conditions, such as aneurysm, stenosis (narrowing of the blood vessel), or blockages. A dye (contrast) will be injected through a thin flexible tube placed in an artery. This dye makes the blood vessels visible on x-ray.
chest computed tomographic angiography (Also called CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices). CT with contrast enhances the image of the blood vessels in the lungs. Contrast refers to a substance injected into an intravenous (IV) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to be seen more clearly.
venous duplex ultrasound - a type of vascular ultrasound procedure done to assess blood flow and the structure of the blood vessels in the lungs. The term "duplex" refers to the fact that two modes of ultrasound are used - Doppler and B-mode. The B-mode transducer (like a microphone) obtains an image of the vessel being studied. The Doppler probe within the transducer evaluates the velocity and direction of blood flow in the vessel.
laboratory tests - blood tests to check the blood's clotting status. Other blood work may include testing for genetic (inherited) disorders that may contribute to abnormal clotting of the blood. In addition, arterial blood gases may be checked to determine the amount of oxygen in the blood.
electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) - one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms, and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted, and printed out for the physician's information and further interpretation.
Specific treatment will be determined by your physician based on:
your age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the disease
your signs and symptoms
your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the disease
your opinion or preference
Treatment options for pulmonary embolism include:
anticoagulants - also described as "blood thinners," these medications decrease the ability of the blood to clot. Examples of anticoagulants include warfarin (Coumadin®) and heparin.
fibrinolytic therapy - also called "clot busters," these medications are given intravenously (IV) to break down the clot.
vena cava filter - a small metal device placed in the vena cava (the large blood vessel that returns blood from the body to the heart) may be used to prevent clots from traveling to the lung. These filters are generally used in patients who cannot receive anticoagulation treatment (for medical reasons), who develop additional clots even with anticoagulation treatment, or who develop bleeding complications from anticoagulation. Some filters can be removed after a short period if the risk of future DVT and PE is reduced.
pulmonary embolectomy - surgical removal of a pulmonary embolism. This procedure is generally performed only in severe situations in which the PE is very large, the patient either cannot receive anticoagulation and/or thrombolytic therapy due to other medical considerations or has not responded adequately to those treatments, and the patient's condition is unstable.
percutaneous thrombectomy - insertion of a catheter (long, thin, hollow tube) to the site of the embolism, using X-ray guidance. Once the catheter is in place, the catheter is used to break up the embolism, extract it (pull it out), or dissolve it by injecting thrombolytic medication.
An important aspect of treatment of pulmonary embolism is prophylactic (preventative) treatment to prevent formation of additional embolisms.
Because pulmonary embolism is caused by an embolus formed elsewhere in the body (generally in the legs), and because it is often difficult to detect presence of a venous embolus prior to the onset of complications such as a pulmonary embolism, the prevention of these emboli is necessary in the prevention of PE.
In order to prevent pulmonary embolism, the only effective way is to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Prophylactic treatment to prevent DVT includes:
non-invasive mechanical measuresMechanical measures to prevent DVT include:
compression stockings (elastic stockings that squeeze or compress the veins and prevent blood from flowing backward)
pneumatic compression devices (sleeves on the legs that are connected to a machine that provides alternating pressure on the legs)
getting up and moving as soon as possible after surgery or illness, as movement can help to prevent clots from forming by stimulating blood circulation
medicationAnticoagulants and/or aspirin are often given prophylactically to prevent DVT.
Many patients remain at risk for development of DVT for a period of time after they are either discharged from the hospital or transferred to a different type of care facility. It is important that prophylactic treatment for DVT continue until the risk for DVT development has been resolved.

Building a peace economy?
Liberal peacebuilding and the development-security industry
This book critically examines the range of policies and programmes that attempt to manage economic activity that contributes to political violence. Beginning with an overview of over a dozen policies aimed at transforming these activities into economic relationships which support peace, not war, the book then offers a sustained critique of the reasons for limited success in this policy field. The inability of the range of international actors involved in this policy area, the Development-Security Industry (DSI), to bring about more peaceful political-economic relationships is shown to be a result of liberal biases, resulting conceptual lenses and operational tendencies within this industry. A detailed case study of responses to organised crime in Kosovo offers an in-depth exploration of these problems, but also highlights opportunities for policy innovation. This book offers a new framework for understanding both the problem of economic activity that accompanies and sometimes facilitates violence and programmes aimed at managing these forms of economic activity. Summaries of key arguments and frameworks, found within each chapter, provide accessible templates for both students and aid practitioners seeking to understand war economies and policy reactions in a range of other contexts. It also offers insight into how to alter and improve policy responses in other cases. As such, the book is accessible to a range of readers, including students interested in peace, conflict and international development as well as policy makers and practitioners seeking new ways of understanding war economies and improving responses to them.

Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 Free
Software Foundation, Inc.
This file is free documentation; the Free Software Foundation gives
unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it.
Basic Installation
These are generic installation instructions.
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
debugging `configure').
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
cache files.)
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
a newer version of `autoconf'.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
the package.
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
with the distribution.
Compilers and Options
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
`configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for
details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
is an example:
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
for another architecture.
Installation Names
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX', the package will
use PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
Optional Features
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
package recognizes.
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
Specifying the System Type
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the machine type.
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
produce code for.
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
Sharing Defaults
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
Defining Variables
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
overridden in the site shell script). Here is a another example:
/bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
Here the `CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash' operand causes subsequent
configuration-related scripts to be executed by `/bin/bash'.
`configure' Invocation
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
script, and exit.
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
disable caching.
Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
`configure --help' for more details.
