It's still unclear if Kevin Durant will play this season or if he'll sit it out the entire year while rehabbing from Achilles surgery.
Durant said in an interview with Yahoo Sports last month that he hasn't ruled out the possibility of playing in 2019-20. He again left open the possibility of playing this season in an interview over the weekend with Chris Henderson.
The interview, published on YouTube, was focused mostly on music, sneakers and video games (Definitely worth checking out if you're interested in those topics/seeing an NBA star in a relaxed setting). Durant also talked briefly about the Nets.
"I'm excited about this group. Obviously, with me not starting off the season and obviously being injured, you're going to see a lot of guys step up and do some things and go to another level as a player," the two-time Finals MVP said. "Caris [LeVert], Joe Harris, Taurean Prince. Even the older guys like Garrett Temple, Kyrie [Irving], DeAndre [Jordan]. I feel like everybody in this environment is going to step up another level, especially due to circumstances with me not being available. I think everybody's going to step up and take it to the next level. We got great coaching, great front office, great fanbase that's excited for something new. This is a fresh start for everybody I feel."
By saying that he won't start off the season with the Nets, Durant again doesn't rule himself out for the entire year. It will be interesting to see if he and the Nets leave open the possibility of him playing this season when they address the media later this month.
Durant underwent surgery to repair a right Achilles tear in mid June. Some surgeons believe he could return in 10 months, while others expect him to miss the entire season.
As Durant notes, the Nets have plenty of depth to offset his absence. They return most of the young core of a team that won 42 games last season and added Irving. So they should be able to compete in the East in 2019-20 even if Durant decides to sit for the entire season.
Durant also was asked in the interview about his thoughts on Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis and the Dallas Mavericks.
Durant, who was pursued by Porzingis' ex-club, the Knicks, was effusive in his praise of the young Mavs.
"I think (Doncic) was raised in a basketball environment that taught him how to play the ins and outs of the game. You don't see guys at that age who can manipulate the game the way he does," Durant said. "He can control the full game at (a young) age, which is rare. I'm expecting huge things from him going forward and a superstar career going forward.
"As far as KP, his name says it all. His nickname being the unicorn. A guy that can do so many things at that height and that agility. I'm looking forward to seeing those two come together. I think they've got something going down there. Mark Cuban is always going to support his guys and put them in the best position so that's a franchise I'll definitely be watching over the next couple of years."
It would be misleading to view these comments from Durant as some kind of shot at the Knicks, who traded Porzingis last February, in part, to create enough cap space to sign Durant and another star. Durant was simply asked a question by Henderson and he answered it honestly.

How can I care for oily skin?
16 Nov
Oily skin can be a complete annoyance, leaving your skin looking dirty and shiny. Make up disappears, and infections are more prone. So how do you look after it? Here's some handy tips from NetDoctor on what to do when you have oily, greasy skin.
Make sure you moisturise
Although the skin is overproducing grease it still requires hydration to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Many anti-acne products dry out skin so it is important to rehydrate the skin to prevent it from producing more sebum to combat the dryness. Avoid heavy moisturisers and opt for oil free creams or serums instead.
Exfoliate but don't over-do it
Exfoliation encourages healthy skin turnover. It also helps to remove surface dead skin cells and prevent blocking of pores but again being overaggressive with exfoliation can leave your skin sensitive but can also cause a breakout.
Treat your skin
Using a retinoid (vitamin A) based product at night and have regular light chemical peels (e.g. glycolic acid, lactic acid or salicylic acid peels). These can reduce the oiliness of the skin and prevent breakouts of acne.
Carefully select your make-up
Avoid heavy foundations and look for key words like matt-effect, oil-free and non-comedogenic when choosing your makeup. Oil control blotting paper or pads can be helpful on-the-go for those greasy areas that break through in the middle of the day.
Watch your diet
Cutting out refined sugars, highly processed foods and saturated fats can help in some individuals to reduce sebum production.
Guinot Microbiotic – Shine Control Toning Lotion 500ml /w Pump is ideal for treating all types of oily skin. The Microbiotic Lotion protects the skin all day long by controlling microbial flora through the Sebocidine complex. Stabilises sebum secretion, tightens pores, and neutralises shine.
Active component:
- Sebocidine Complex: A complex of active ingredients which is the result of research carried out by Guinot, this complex regulates sebum secretion and purifies by means of an anti-microbial action.

I mentioned in my last column that the Democratic Party has a majority in both the House and Senate and holds the governor's office. Therefore, Republicans like me do not have nearly enough votes to block any of the extreme bills that the other side introduces.
Many of those bills have already passed and been signed into law, like Senate Bill 19-042, the National Popular Vote. This law forces Colorado's electors to cast their votes for the winner of the Presidential popular vote, regardless of the outcome of the election in Colorado. I feel that this law will disenfranchise Colorado voters, and is unconscionable, if not unconstitutional. This bill is one of many that have passed with zero Republican votes. Other bills that have gone down the same partisan path before being signed by the governor are House Bill 19-1177, the Extreme Risk Protective Order (Red Flag Law), which can strip a gun owner of their property without due process, and Senate Bill 19-181, Protect Public Welfare Oil and Gas Operations, which fundamentally moves the direction of the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission from fostering responsible, safe development and production of oil and gas to instead focus on environmental and safety concerns.
These three examples are just some of the new laws that I am convinced will hurt Colorado voters, violate our Constitutional rights, hurt businesses and kill jobs.
To be very clear, the tone at the state Capitol has dramatically changed compared to my prior two years representing Colorado Senate District 4. I believe the message from the new majority in the state Legislature is no longer about making decisions that reflect the beliefs from voters from across the state, but instead it has become a movement to make Colorado a powerful, progressive stronghold. Having previously served in a split Legislature, I just don't think that this is what Colorado is about.
Political parties aside, I believe that Coloradans value, among other things, plentiful jobs, great schools, access to high-quality health care, and a shared desire to be able to escape into our beautiful landscape. Many of my Democrat colleagues advocated for these values in the past.
Please stay involved and make your voice heard. I fear that our voices, our jobs and our freedoms are at risk. I want to keep an open line of communication to anyone who would like to raise concerns, ask questions, or provide their input. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me anytime at 303-866-4869 or by email: email@example.com.
Parker resident Jim Smallwood is a Republican state senator from District 4, which includes Parker, Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Larkspur, Franktown and much of Douglas County.

The lineup for the new series of Dancing On Ice has been revealed.
Coronation Street star Steven Arnold, whose character Ashley Peacock was recently killed in the tram crash, will compete in this year's show, alongside Kerry Katona, Jeff Brazier and rapper Vanilla Ice.
Loose Women's Denise Welch will also take to the rink, as well as former newsreader Angela Rippon, ex-EastEnders star Sam Attwater and Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe.
Chloe Madeley, Neighbours star Craig McLachlan, cricketer Dominic Cork and David Vitty - Comedy Dave from Chris Moyles's Radio 1 show - will further star in the ITV skating show. Actress Nadia Sawalha, Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton and Ellen Rives - Frank Lampard's ex-girlfriend - are also among the 16 contestants.
Soldier Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, who won the Victoria Cross in 2005, completes the cast - marking the first time a competitor has come from outside the world of sport and entertainment.
However, in a new twist, only 12 skaters will make it through to the competition stage, meaning four celebrities will be voted off before they even get the chance to compete.
Emma Bunton, Jason Gardiner and Robin Cousins will return as judges, while Karen Barber will now act as head coach to the contestants. Nicky Slater was axed from the panel last month.
The new series of Dancing On Ice starts with two specials on January 9 and January 16 and two celebrities will be axed during each show.

Lorain County is located in northeast Ohio and consists of 923 square miles. Almost half of the square miles making up the county is water. It was created in 1822 and organized in 1824. The county seat is located in the city of Elyria. The origin of the county's name is unknown, although some theorized that it was named after Lorraine, a region in northeast France.
Nothing is known about the history of the county flag, but it can be assumed that it was created in response to a request for county flags by the state. The flag has a white field and features an outline of the county in the center. The darker blue at the top of the outline represents Lake Erie. It can be assumed that the red star at the top of the outline represents the county seat, and the other nine starts represent the cities in the county.
The Ohio Veterans Plaza at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio, features plaques and accompanying flagpoles from each of the 88 counties in Ohio. The flags were presented at the Ohio Statehouse in 2003 during the Bicentennial flag dedication ceremonies and are now displayed annually.

Members of the Global Attainment and Inclusion Network (GAIN), gathered at CETYS University's Ensenada Campus to celebrate a forum that, through dialogue tables and workshops, analyzed and discussed the best and most innovative practices to promote student success globally.
For three days, international experts from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Europe, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Mexico, led by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the support of Santander Universidades, Universia Mexico and Lumina Foundation, addressed issues such as inclusion, equity, national policies, financing, employability, among others, to coordinate a series of strategies to ensure academic success.
Ted Mitchell, President of the American Council of Education, highlighted the important issues such as "restoring people's confidence in higher education by building leadership with the same intellectual level that allows students to succeed, and motivate institutions to innovate and allow students access to this success derived from higher education".
Courtney Brown, Vice President of Strategic Impact of Lumina Foundation, stressed that we should work to "ensure that those who have been disadvantaged or have been marginalized have the same opportunity for educational success, and it is necessary to have a global vision to be able to learn and know what they are doing in other countries and how we can help ours to achieve it".
Arturo Cherbowski Lask, Executive Director of Santander Universidades and General Director of Universia Mexico, said that the inclusion issue plays a very important and high-impact role in higher education, he also called on the assistants to solve this and other situations together to achieve progress and recover the confidence of society in higher education.
Miguel Angel Mendoza, Secretary of Education in Baja California, said to be very pleased that Baja California hosted this meeting, "we applaud this event because they give us the opportunity to know, learn, compare and obtain strategies to improve ourselves and help others achieve success in their goals; in particular, we want more students to have access to higher education".
Finally, Dr. Fernando Leon Garcia, President of the CETYS University System, said "we hope that the product of the interaction, the discussions and the practices carried out throughout the event will lead us to have more conversations where the focus is on what is going to happen with the students and what we can do to achieve their professional success".
In addition to the work sessions scheduled for the 3 days, the experts toured Baja California, Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe. This is the first meeting held outside of GAIN USA, thanks to the support of the Lumina Foundation and Universia, who have identified in Mexico, through CETYS University, a transcendental partner for this initiative.

Once upon a time, Monica and Brandy turned their much-presumed rivalry into a number-one hit with "The Boy Is Mine." Now, 16 years later, the producer of that song says he's going to get Ariana Grande and Jessie J to fight over the same guy, too — at least in song.
To celebrate his 20 years in music, producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins is recruiting new artists to cover some of his biggest hits. That means two-thirds of the "Bang Bang" team — it's not too late to get Nicki Minaj on the track, is it? — will take on the '90s classic. Meanwhile, "Stay With Me" crooner Sam Smith has already called dibs on Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay," which, for the uninitiated, is sort of like the Serial podcast if the Serial podcast were actually an R&B hit. (She uses receipts and phone records to solve the mystery of a lying lover!)
"Sam told me [that] was the song that made him want to sing," Jerkins told Hits Daily Double. "When I asked him if he'd be a part of this project, he was like, 'No one else can do that song but me!'"

Banks that study their customers' interactions can anticipate needs and remove pain points, paving the way to loyalty and lasting satisfaction.
Data analytics may be where it's at in 2019. But battle-tested strategies tweaked for the 21st Century can occupy an important place, too.

FOOTBALL Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop met Adelaide United chairman Greg Griffin for peace talks which didn't eventuate at Hindmarsh Stadium on Sunday night.
Griffin revealed Gallop requested the pair meet before the Adelaide and Sydney FC clash.
Also in charge of the Australian Professional Football Clubs Association, Griffin and Gallop said they had nothing to say about why the meeting was conducted before the clash.
Griffin has long been vocal about FFA's inability to allow its congress to become much more democratic.
With FIFA sending in a taskforce to potentially end the impasse, Griffin is also still livid that Adelaide had lost three players to Olyroos duty in China during the A-League's jam packed calendar over the past 19 days before facing Sydney.
"FFA has all but given the Premier's Plate to Sydney FC,'' Griffin said.
"Clubs like us and including Melbourne City and Central Coast have lost a good core of starting players.
"Sydney doesn't blood youth and they're at full strength for the entire season while clubs that do have faith in youth and are helping to breed Socceroos are punished for it."
It was the first time this season that Gallop had ventured to Adelaide to watch an A-League match.
The FFA boss was destined to leave Adelaide on Monday morning.

Game of Thrones season 8: The reason why the Night King will die REVEALED | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV
Game of Thrones season eight, episode one saw Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) make plans for a new, deadly weapon that she will need to survive the HBO final series.
She reunites with Gendry (Joe Dempsie) in the first episode and asks him to make a very specific and menacing-looking weapon.
What could she need a new weapon for? It would suggest she will be facing a very specific and terrifying threat.
Fans are treated to a glimpse of the vision she has for the weapon in a diagram she has created, which shows a detachable spear attached to a sword.
The detachable spear element would enable her to combat the threat from a distance or from a height.
Her weapon would have to be made from dragonglass to kill the White Walkers and would pose a double threat for Arya in the final season.
The double threat is something Arya has used before in combat before when she has switched between the Needle her sibling Jon Snow (Kit Harington) gave her and a dagger.
White Walkers pose a different threat to any mortal being she has faced and overcome and will require great skill and weaponry to defeat them.
If not, she could end up as the first victim of what could be a bloody final season.
She will probably come up against the deadly Night King who has struck fear into those who he has crossed throughout the series.
Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) had her dragon Viserion killed at the hand of the Night King, while Jon Snow was left quaking in his boots at the sight of hundreds of fallen soldiers rising under his command.
Season eight's very first episode saw the damage the Night King can do once again.
Lord Umber (Harry Grasby) was left strewn onto the wall of his house in Last Hearth after he had been killed, dismembered, and rearranged into the White Walkers' signature pattern.
White Walkers are basically dead people the Night King has resurrected and turned into soldiers for his army of the dead.
Game of Thrones features White Walkers prominently throughout, although their existence wasn't confirmed to the residents of Westeros for thousands of years prior to when the series is set.
Meanwhile, in the first episode the former Faceless Men trainee was reunited with her half-brother Jon Snow, as well as the Hound (Rory McCann).
Her reunion with Jon was emotional, with the two bonding over their love of their sister Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner).
The Gendry actor has hinted that his character was brought back to help instigate shocking scenes, which may include Arya killing the Night King.
Speaking at the Radio Times and BFI Festival, Joe explained: "Everyone has this attachment to their characters and we're getting drip fed information at the same rate viewers are but just a little bit earlier than you are because we get the scripts.
"But in terms of certain really key pieces of information about where your character came from and what made him the person he is today, they are being really drip fed so you have all these questions you want answers to."
Joe continued: "I mean, season seven for Gendry was clearly about getting him back into the story, just get him back in, get him involved, and start moving all these chess pieces in order so we can get started with season eight with a bang."
Game of Thrones season 8 continues next Sunday on HBO and Sky Atlantic on Monday at 2am.

Crusaders advance in regionals with win over Nikes
FORT MADISON – Holy Trinity got another strong performance from junior Taylor Boeding as they rolled over Burlington Notre Dame 49-16 in the first round of Iowa High School girls regional action Thursday night.
Boeding, who is coming off a 22-point performance Friday against Highland, was a catalyst for the Crusaders with 16 points including five 3-pointers. Junior Emily Box scored a dozen, but was dominant inside with six blocks anchoring the Crusaders defensively.
HTC head coach Tony Johnson said Boeding is getting confident at the right time.
"She's just getting her confidence right now. When they start going, that kind of builds on itself," he said. "We've been working on some things on her form in practice and that's paying off at the right time."
Boeding didn't score in the first quarter, but came on strong in the second quarter going 3-for-3 from the long arc. Her third was launched with just under :04 left in the half. The ball hit the front of the rim and went up on the back board, came back down on the rim bracket, hit the front of the rim, and then fell back through at the buzzer.
"When you get that kind of shot to go in things are going pretty good," Johnson said.
The Crusaders defense held the Nikes scoreless until the 5:13 mark of the 2nd quarter. Senior Madison Mohrfeld got the Crusaders' scoring going as she continues to play extra minutes with junior Eryn Anderson out with a broken nose. Mohrfeld opened the scoring inside at 4:26 and then HTC got a couple buckets from Box, who in four possessions had two blocks on the defensive end and two buckets on offense, in about two minutes time. She also had a couple of free throws at the end of the 8-0 run to end the quarter.
Johnson applied a 3/4 press for most of the game and the pressure took its toll in the 2nd quarter as Notre Dame committed seven turnovers. Morhfeld scored on a three-point play to start the period, then Boeding hit back-to-back 3-balls to put HTC up 17-0. The Nikes had trouble getting the ball into the offensive set for about three minutes until Taylor Ackerman hit to make it 17-3. Notre Dame wouldn't score again in the half as the Crusaders raced to 28-3 at the break after Boeding's three at the buzzer.
Boeding said she's concentrating more on her form before shots.
"I'm really trying to get my feet set and keep my elbow in and make sure I have some spin on it," she said after the game. "I feel like I'm one of the leaders on this team and it's my job to step up and put some points in and going into the post season I want to be able to do that."
Boeding and senior Brett Schneider started the scoring early in the third period putting up three each in the midst of a 6-0 run before Ackerman hit another 3-pointer to try and cut into HTC's 34-6 lead. The Nikes were whistled for six fouls and committed seven turnovers in the period. Ackerman had all the points putting up seven in the period. At that point Ackerman had all of Notre Dame's 10 points, but HTC was out comfortably by 28 going into the final period.
Boeding hit from long range to open the period and then the Crusaders went scoreless until Box scored inside on a nifty entry pass from sophomore Avery Hopper. The Nikes' Hope Ward got on the board with when she hit four straight free throws with just over four minutes left in the game, but those would be the only points Notre Dame would get in the game.
The Crusaders, who have struggled to maintain focus in the fourth quarter this year, committed four turnovers and missed three shots in the quarter while still working in the press off made buckets.
"We got a little lazy again in the fourth and we need to clean that up," Johnson said. "People talk about us using the press late in the game, but I have to because if weren't not pressing we get a little lazy and lose our focus. So we press a lot."
Rounding out the scoring for the Crusaders was Mohrfeld with seven points, Schneider and Mya Lawlor each had four points. Ashlyn Haas, who's played in her first game of the last three with an ankle injury, scored three points, Avery Hopper had two and Sam Hoenig had one point.
At the top of the bracket, Winfield Mt. Union ended New London's season with a 51-27 score, so HTC will face W-MU on Tuesday in Winfield at 7 p.m. The winner of that game will face the winner of Montezuma/Waco in Montezuma on Friday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.


text: The Taipei City Government's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) said today (October 3) that in order to protect the respiratory health of patients and hospital employees, as well as to improve hospitals' indoor air quality management, the agency has assisted hospitals in voluntarily installing automatic indoor air quality monitoring systems. Currently, 23 hospitals within the DEP's jurisdiction have all installed the system. According to the DEP, after installing the automatic monitoring equipment, the indoor air quality can be monitored in real-time, allowing hospitals to improve poor air quality immediately and significantly increase the efficiency of air quality maintenance. The DEP commented that the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan announced venues to be inspected in 2014 and 2017. Currently, 8 medical centers and 15 regional hospitals are included in the list of venues to be inspected for indoor air quality. Environmental Protection Commissioner Liou Ming-lone commented that hospitals' indoor air quality is crucial in minimizing cross-infection among patients, and in protecting the health of the medical staff. The agency conducted an indoor quality inspection for hospitals in the fall of 2017, and discovered that the indoor air quality of 7 hospitals exceeded legal standards, highlighting the need to introduce an automatic monitoring system to help maintain air quality, guarantee the public's respiratory health, and reinforce indoor air quality management within hospitals. The agency elaborated that, after extensive meetings with various hospitals to promote the policy and exchange opinions, hospitals experiencing difficulties in implementing this policy were offered assistance, and now all 23 hospitals have installed an automatic monitoring system. As a result, the system is able to effectively help the hospitals' air quality management personnel to monitor indoor air quality in real-time. In the future, this monitoring system can be linked to the air conditioning and ventilation systems in order to regulate indoor air quality automatically. Eleven hospitals in particular - including 7 branches of Taipei City Hospital - have installed displays to show this monitoring data, giving patients a way to quickly ascertain information about the environmental air quality within the hospital. The DEP stated that 73 venues in Taipei City were equipped with an automatic monitoring system including the National Taiwan Museum, Taipei World Trade Center, Taipei Bus Station, and Taipei City Hall Bus Station. The agency also appealed to other public venues that have yet to install automatic indoor air quality monitoring system to do so as soon as possible, as it not only guarantees the employees' right to respiratory health but also ensures that citizens are able to enjoy fresh air in public venues.

If you haven't analyzed how social media tools can advance your business goals, jumping in may not be right for you — at least yet.
Although social media are increasingly important tools for businesses, it's important to have a strategy before you start. Otherwise, keeping on top of your efforts can leave you overwhelmed and spinning aimlessly.
Instead, consider: How will Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn help you reach your goals? What resources are available to manage your digital and traditional communication programs?
The Los Angeles Times, in a feature article by Ina Paiva Cordle, recently highlighted
the approaches small businesses are taking to incorporating social media into their marketing programs and their inspiring stories of success.
The report includes a compelling statistic from EMarketers: 80 percent of leading companies will participate in social media marketing in 2011, nearly double the number from three years ago.
Among those joining the boom, per the article:
- Dede Parise, a new entrepreneur, who grew her audience on Facebook.
- Kelly Lyles, an inventor, who cross promotes on Twitter and Facebook.
- Valerie Holstein, the CEO of a cable management company, who focuses on social media tools for creating conversations and providing solutions to customer problems.
"Social media is not going to save your business if you don't have a good product or a good business plan. But it can supplement in a good way, what you are doing," said Jillian Tobias, a senior account executive at Boardroom Communications, in the article.
Why is your company using social media?

Role of Thrombopoietin in the Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer: A Brief Review XE01-XE03
Dr. Amar Ranjan,
Room No-422, IRCH, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi-110029, Delhi, India.
E-mail: email@example.com
Ovarian Cancer (OC) is the most fatal condition among all gynaecologic malignancies. The survival rate of early and advance stage of OC is 80-90% and 15-20% respectively. This data constitutes the need of a novel biomarker for early diagnosis, which may distinguish malignant tumours from benign ovarian cysts. Presently in practice there are three screening techniques: bimanual pelvic examination, serum Cancer Antigen (CA) 125 and transvaginal ultrasound. Bimanual pelvic examination can detect only 1 in 10,000 ovarian cancers in women presenting to the clinic. CA 125 is raised in 80% of cases of ovarian carcinoma; however, if the carcinoma is limited to ovary, the raised value is seen only in 50% of women. It is mainly useful in postmenopausal women. Ultrasonography also lacks specificity and sensitivity, apart from being costly as a screening test. Studies are going on for search of a biomarker, which may complement CA 125. Most common among these are Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4), Thrombopoietin (TPO), CA19-9, human kallikrein 10, human kallikrein 6, osteopontin, claudin 3, DF3 (murine monoclonal antibody), vascular endothelial growth factor, MUC1, mesothelin etc. In 2008, FDA approved the use of HE4 assay for monitoring of progressive disease in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Similarly TPO also holds the promise of being a biomarker to complement CA125 and many studies are indeed available to support the association of TPO and OC. In this review article we have summarised and analysed such studies.

One of the reasons for obtaining vinyl windows is the ease of how to clean vinyl windows. The many advantages of having vinyl windows is their durability in a variety of harsh weather conditions. However, there are many windows Winnipeg residents simply do not clean properly. We will take you on a step by step sure fire way to clean and assure that your windows are functioning at their highest ability. First you must realize that there are several parts of your window that must be cleaned for it to function properly. Most people only think of cleaning the glass of the window. Let's get to the steps now.
- First clean on a cloudy day, not a bright sunshiny day. This will prevent the sun from drying the cleaning solution, which causes spots and streaks that are hard to remove.
- Your cleaning solution can be a window cleaner or a mild detergent and lukewarm water.
- Clean one side of the window horizontally and the other side vertically. This makes it easier to know where the streaks are.
- Wash windows from the top down to eliminate the drips that could smear your already cleaned surface.
- If using a squeegee assure that there are no exposed metal edges that could scratch the glass.
- Finally, rinse with clear water and polish with a well washed cotton T-shirt. You can also use crumpled newspaper, the newspaper leaves a film that is resistant to dirt, helping keep your windows clean.
Don't Forget Those Window Frames
This is an important aspect of assuring that your windows are thoroughly clean, cleaning vinyl window frames. The frames are part of the window as well and can often trap dirt and debris which migrates to the window pane itself. The contamination can also cause your windows to not function properly and eventually cause them to fail completely. It is important to know how to clean your window frames and you begin by using a vacuum to suck up all the loose debris. Be sure to get around the window sill and sash to prevent transfer of contaminants. Next, use a mild soap to wipe down your window frames. One of the perks of vinyl is its ease of cleaning so no harsh chemicals show be used as that they may compromise the integrity of the windows functionality. Next simply rinse with water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
For your windows to maintain a great functioning ability assure that the rollers and tracks are lubricated each year. Also clean the sill and track at least quarterly to keep the windows working at its highest ability. Finally, don't forget the screens. They should be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap and water solution and rinse with clean water. If you perform these steps you will assure that your windows work properly for many years to come.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding your vinyl windows the professionals at Weather Pro Windows and Doors will be happy to assist you.

Mention Las Vegas, and casinos, shows, boxing matches, concerts, and buffets come to mind! They are the usual attractions that tourists want to capture for their digital albums and Facebook pages to show that they've been there and "done that."
Most people when they travel to Vegas follow this plan. They stick to the usual tourist activities and do what every one else recommends. After all, the Las Vegas area is in the desert so there isn't much else to see besides the bright lights of the strip and a trip to Hoover Dam. Right?
As people share their stories and television shows like CSI: Las Vegas memorialize the town, it's easy to get only this one view of Las Vegas. There's more to the Las Vegas area, however, if you are willing to venture out of your comfort zone. Right outside the crowds on the strip and outside of the large city itself is another world you would not think existed. Here's another perspective of the Las Vegas area that is just a short distance away:
As my wife and I hiked in Mount Charleston (two top photos above) and at Red Rock National Park (two bottom photos above) and saw places like these, we shook our heads in disbelief. She agreed when I told her: You'd never believe these places are so close to Vegas! They were a different world that we could easily had never seen had we not been willing to take the risk that comes with doing something different.
So, what did my time in Las Vegas teach me again about change, management, and life in general? Here's what I learned again in a different way as only the natural world can teach:
1. Challenge your thinking and the thinking that others impose on you. Just because something has always been done one way does not mean that you are getting the best result. Don't be so bound by what others think. Keep that childlike quality of always asking why. When you do this you stay open to new possibilities!
2. Tired of your view of things. Tired of things not working well despite your best efforts. Make a change then! Try a different approach to how you manage others (or live your life). Take another path if you want to get a different perspective. Albert Einstein said it best: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
3. Be persistent on your journey of discovery (whatever it is) and you'll often find a new world that's not too far from the path you've always traveled. This new world may be different and at first a bit scary or maybe uncomfortable. These feelings are normal—you're not used to this new world. Don't give up too easily, though! Give this new world a chance. You may find it suits you better and it is the change you long have needed.
Do you want to be an effective change agent? Do you need to be a more effective manager and leader? Do you need to make some important changes in your life? There's a world of opportunity available to you if you are willing to take educated risks, challenge the norm, walk another path, think differently, and be persistent on your journey of discovery.

DC Power for Energy Efficient Buildings
DC Building Power Supply Equipment and Distribution Infrastructure: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts
Alternating current (AC) power is nearly ubiquitous, as conventional power grids supply AC power to commercial buildings and other users. However, certain categories of devices require direct current (DC) power. To provide DC power from an AC grid, these devices rely on internal or plug-in power supplies that convert power from AC to DC and step down voltage to the appropriate level. This conversion process results in an incremental loss of power due to inherent inefficiencies. When added together across numerous devices, the total power loss becomes more substantial.
DC offers better energy savings and improved reliability integrating DC-native resources and loads. Deployed at the building level, DC power distribution can reduce the number of required conversions, thereby increasing overall building energy efficiency. DC power systems rely on centralized, higher efficiency devices to convert AC to DC power and then distribute low- to mid-voltage DC power to various loads, including lighting, sensors, door locks, plug-in devices, actuators, controls, and more. The advantages of DC power systems become clear when considering the integration of renewable energy generation and energy storage systems.
This Guidehouse Insights report considers the likely trajectory of markets for DC power technologies in commercial buildings as existing technologies mature and penetrate new regional markets. The study accounts for new technologies completing development cycles and moving into commercialization. Global market forecasts for revenue segmented by technology type and region extend through 2028.

Video: How to End Factory Farming
Factory Farms are a travesty! If you're unfamiliar with conditions for animals on "Factory Farms," then this video is an eye-opener. Animals pay a heavy price for "cheap," mass-produced meat: cruelty! Animals raised for food feel pain—and suffer—just like your family pets would, if you treated them as animals are treated in Factory Farms.
What can you do? As a start:
1--Refuse to buy factory farmed animals.
2–East less meat.
3--Educate yourself. Make informed choices.
4–Eat organic, certified organic and/or free range meats only.
5--Make a pledge to NOT support Factory Farms: Make It Possible.
Here's how a healthy, happy, well treated–NOT Factory Farmed–pig looks:

I have a list of books that I need to access from 3 or 4 different functions of my program. It's 250 books with unique names. Would it be wise to use simple array to store the list?
Or is there any easy way for a newbie to manually create the list and then access it? I'm new to this, making a transition from JavaScript where I would use JSON.
So basically is this right way to do it:
string books[250] = {"MyBook One", "My second book", "Third book", "Book nr 250"};
and the call it like this:
void displayRandomBook(booknr)

Hello Amir,
Thank you for the recent work that your company did at my house, the slab looks great and is very functional. It turned out exactly as we planned as Jose Sr. and Jr. were very conscious of the few small details that I needed to be included. It was a pleasure conversing with them. Jose Sr. let me know the exact time for my son to write his name and put his hand and feet prints in the concrete. He had to smooth it out a couple of times because we messed up a little, my son's only 6.

The Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana kicked off its annual member holiday sale last weekend. In addition to regular gallery hours (Tuesday-Friday, 10 am to 4 pm), the AC will be open this Saturday, November 25 from 10 am to 5 pm in observance of Small Business Saturday. Main Street, Haynie's Corner, and West Franklin Street are three places you'll find that city sidewalk holiday bustle.
Billy will be hanging out at the gallery for part of the day. This is a good time to buy, as we've discounted this entire recent body of work by at least 10%. He has urban views that are a jazzy variation of his usual 'Billystyle'. A trio of mellow landscapes balances these city views and show his work in oils on board.
For the younger crowd – whether in age or mindset – check out Billy's emerging collection of 'magical art.' Harry Potter fans and the otherwise mystically-minded would appreciate these absolutely unique charms, books, boxes and potion bottles.

A reflection for International Women's DayWritten by Fr Bill Burt SVD
In today's Gospel we hear a story that all of us are familiar with. It's the parable of the
Prodigal Son. It's a beautiful reflection on the love of a father for his son, which Jesus related in order to describe God's love for us. However, when hearing this story, one could rightly ask, "Where was the son's mother?"
Third Sunday of Lent - Year CWritten by Fr Dom Flores SVD
"Unless you repent, you will likewise perish." This is not a threat, but an invitation to lead a more fulfilled Christian life. During the 40 days of Lent we'll be constantly reminded to repent, to have a change of heart for our own good; to change our evil ways and follow the way of the Lord, who is the only 'way, truth and life.' (Jn. 14:6).
Second Sunday of Lent - Year CWritten by Fr Elmer Ibarra SVD
Whenever I have the chance, I watch a movie every now and then. Sometimes there is something at the movies that catches my attention and if I have the time, I'll go and watch it as my form of stress-reducing recreation.
Almost every time before the movie proper, there are always film clips on what kind of movies that would be coming up in the next week or so. It's like a sneak peek of what's next. Not giving away everything but somehow enticing us to come back to the movie house because they have something nice to offer.
First Sunday of Lent – Year CWritten by SVD
Friends, we are now in this great holy season of Lent and the church invites us to attend to one of the most powerful passages in the Gospel, Luke's account of Jesus' temptation in the desert. I often say, that Jesus is not meant to be admired, Jesus is meant to be followed or better even participated in. St. Paul says, it's no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. The gospel invites us to participate in Jesus. We see Jesus at a moment of weakness facing temptations as we all do. Jesus wanted to experience human life to the full, with the exception of sin. Facing temptations and how we respond to them are integral parts of our lives; Jesus experienced them too. God never tempts people beyond their strength. But He permits us to be tempted. Therefore, we learn from Jesus what it's like to face temptations and how to face them. Therefore, I wish to reflect with you today on the great Lenten theme of The Desert Experience …
