Are you thinking about changing up your window treatments? Why not make them more energy-efficient and save a little money while you're at it?
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) states that window shades can be one of the simplest and most effective window treatments for saving energy. Dual shades that are highly reflective (white) on one side and heat-absorbing (dark) on the other can be reversed with the seasons. Drapes can also be effective in any season, depending on fabric type and color.
In warm seasons, blinds and high-reflectivity film can reduce heat gain. The DOE estimates that, used correctly, blinds can reduce heat gain by as much as 45 percent. However, blinds aren't that efficient at keeping out the cold, and film reflects sunlight regardless of the season, so these options are best for warmer climates.
For exterior changes, your best bets are awnings or overhangs. Overhangs can shade south-facing windows in the summer and, if oriented correctly, still allow sunlight in during the winter. Awnings can be quite effective in the summer, reducing solar heat gain by up to 77 percent. Plus, they add some personality and curb appeal to your home.
Tip: The key to any window treatment's effectiveness in conserving energy is proper installation, so be sure to do your research.

The Wiz (1978) is an updated re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz. Starring Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, and a painfully young Michael Jackson, the rework moves the story from Kansas to New York City and the characters are all played by black actors. The music was made contemporary (for the time) with a more jazz/funk feel. Richard Pryor plays The Wiz, the great and powerful ruler of Oz. The ruby slippers were in tow, of course. It is a very complete reworking and I, humble Caucasian from the suburbs, fell in love with it.
I saw this movie as part of a field trip while in the third grade. This is the first movie I've talked about going back that far. I remember how colorful it was in the costumes and sets. (Put your minds back in neutral, Social Justice Warriors!) It was different! It had a heart and soul other films didn't have. I paid little attention to the cast being "not like me." I was too drawn in to really notice. The Wicked Witch's throne was a giant toilet. This kind of stuff sticks in your brain. (Throne, I learned later, was a nickname for toilets. My sense for metaphor began that day.) My class was instructed to draw a picture of our favorite scene. I choose the subway scene where the characters get assaulted by killer trash cans. It just terrified and thrilled me. The weird jack-in-the box people didn't help either. I still get creeped out in some places because of situations like that; being trapped and surrounded. It gets inside you. I may have seen Wizard prior, but The Wiz is the musical I look back on as one of, if not, the first. I like musical theater. I enjoy good storytelling. I was a geek practically since birth. I was also so very innocent and unknowing about hatred and prejudice.
I really haven't seen the movie all the way through in quite some time. I missed the live version that was done not too long ago on broadcast television. The Wiz is a slice of time. A point captured forever on film. America was on the verge of a new decade. Attitudes would broaden towards the good and the bad. The Harlem Renaissance gives way to Hip Hop Culture. The Middle Class grows as new families move into the suburbs. Schools get more diverse. Tensions become even more strained between the myriad types of humans walking the Earth.
I'm going to get preachy here. If talk about "Race" bothers you, quit reading now.
IN MY OPINION, there's The Human Race, as a totality. Not plural. One big classification to describe the naked apes who think of themselves as the high-end predators on the Food Chain. Yes, there are noticeable differences. I can tell the difference between an apple and an orange, but at the end of the day, they're still fruits. Humans have a genetic diversity unlike any other creature on the planet. That's what makes us so connected to each other and yet still unique enough to form newer and more exotic blendings. Racism is a way of forcing a paradigm that serves no real purpose except to forgive acts of cruelty based on a false premise. I have heard with my own ears someone denounce The Wiz as " appropriation crap" because the cast is black and the music "isn't right." This person also makes jokes about abusing animals and thinks woman should serve his needs because they are "the weaker sex." And he's not alone in this world.
I've told an off-color joke or two in my time. We all have. Richard Pryor turned racism against itself and made a career showing how hate can be funny when relayed as the absurdity it is. What really grates my cheese is some people's inability to think beyond a two-dimensional scope. The Wiz can easily be considered an alternate universe. It is the same story told basically step for step as the original. Yes, the music is different and some of the imagery has been changed. No shit. ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. You can use the phrase "Alt Right" but can't conceive of a world similar but oh-so-different from your own? I feel like I'm the crazy one.
I'm not here to spout politics or change minds. I watch movies and give a reflection on how I feel about them. The Wiz will always be in my heart because it was an early introduction to being different. I don't need to be black or from the ghetto or even a musical theater student to enjoy this movie. It was a part of my childhood and not even the dimmest bulb of ignorance can ever take that away from me.

One of the most common questions asked by IGNOU Students is :
I have enrolled for xyz IGNOU programme in 2013 and filled/registred for IGNOU Registration form of 2nd year in 2014. But I have not appeared for my 1st year exam even once, till now.So can u please suggest me when will be my next session to appear for the exam? And how can I appear for my First year IGNOU Credits/Papers now? In addition, when can I appear in the IGNOU exams now?
To get the answer of this question, you have to first understand how IGNOU, distance learning university works.
IGNOU allows a learner to complete an IGNOU Programme or IGNOU Course in Time Period which is limited by Minimum time to complete the programme and the maximum time to Complete the Programme. For instance, IGNOU MEG or Master of English, can be completed by a learner in a minimum of 2 years and maximum of 5 years. For IGNOU MBA this is 2 years and 8 years.
Thus IGNOU doesn't bar or stop a learner from taking an exam any time during the course. The only condition is the Registration. You can appear in an exam only when you have registered for it.
In the above example, the person has registered for the MEG First Year, but didn't appear in any exam. The applicant may or may not have submitted any IGNOU assignments of MEG first year either. But that doesn't stop him/her from registering for the Second year. And as stated in the example, the learner has registered for the second year as well. Keep in mind that this person has not appeared in a single credit/paper of MEG programme yet. But that doesn't stop him/her from appearing in exams now. Since the IGNOU learner has registered for both years of the programme; he/she can appear in the exams, as per his/her convenience, from the immediate or the future TEEs. Only disadvantage of starting late, is the time period one gets to complete the Programme. In the example case, the Learner will get maximum of 4 years to pass all papers for MEG 1st year and Second Year.
Hope the confusion is clear now.

As COVID-19 reshapes our economy, our newsletter will help you unpack the news from the day.
After nearly a century in New York's Lower East Side, Streit's matzo factory plans to relocate this summer. The family-run business that holds almost 40 percent of the domestic matzo market is confident it's a good business move and will allow the business to survive for generations to come.
"Just being part of the neighborhood is amazing, and it's fun, and it gives a little bit of a different feel to our plant. And it's something I'll miss emotionally. But, business wise, it's just not the right way to do it," says Aaron Gross, a fifth generation family member in the business. Gross and two cousins run the day-to-day operations at Streit's.
Gross runs the day to say operations of Streit's along with two cousins.
Inside the Streit's factory, you're almost instantly struck — in both senses of the word — by baskets of matzo flying through the air as they move from the oven to the packing floor.
"We have two ovens on multiple floors," says Gross. "We bring the flour in the basement, we blow it up to the fifth floor, it goes down to the fourth and second floor to the mixing rooms, where it goes down to the third and first floor for the ovens. And then everything meets on the second floor to get packed. And then everything goes down the elevator to the shipping room to get shipped over to our warehouse."
Matzo dough before it enters the oven.
Streit's has been been cranking out 1800 pounds of the crispy cracker per hour in its Manhattan factory for 90 years. The plant was state of the art back in the 20's and 30's. But Gross says manufacturing in an antiquated factory is like trying to "fight with one hand tied behind your back."
"We know how to work in four tenement buildings. We know how to load on the street. We know how to do all this stuff. But, the fact that our competitors don't have to do it, puts us at…a disadvantage," he says.
Sales of Streit's unleavened bread have been anything but flat. The company earns over $20 million annually. Rabbi Mayer Kirshner is the head supervising Rabbi at Streit's. He makes sure Streit's production meets strict kosher standards. Even though it's an emotional decision, he knows it's time to move on.
"We should have been out of this factory years ago, " he says.

In the new factory, Aaron Gross says they will be able to make about 3000 pounds of matzo an hour, almost double what they do now. And, they stand to make some money. Seven years ago, they nearly sold the property for $25 million.
What would Streit's founder, Aaron Gross's great-great-grandfather Aron Streit, say about the move?
"I think Aron Streit would be proud of us for making this decision, and he would realize that it's necessary," says Gross. "There's no need for us to be here and to put us at a competitive disadvantage. He'd be the first to move, I believe. He was very smart businessman."
The new location has not been revealed yet, but it will likely be in New York or New Jersey. The authenticity that comes from being an anchor of the Jewish Lower East Side is something Gross hopes to keep. "The Lower East Side will always be in our DNA," he says.
One worry about the move? Finding good New York City water, the not-so-secret ingredient that some say makes the matzo so superb.

text: 16 Sep 2019 | All veg We don't often discuss our gut health, with many of us considering it an embarrassing topic - but this week is Love Your Gut Week . So, we thought we'd take a look at the health benefits eating veg can have on gut health. Fibre-based foods are important for good gut health, and dark leafy greens, such as kale and cavolo nero are both sources of this. Fibre is a key nutrient which can help digestion and prevent constipation, so load up on the green stuff! But, it's not just dark green veg you should be eating – leeks contain Frucooligosaccharides (FOS) – a type of fibre which can encourage the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut. If that's not a good enough reason to incorporate more of these veg into your diet, then we don't know what is! We have a wide range of exciting tasty recipes, to help you make more of these veg - check them out here. If you would like to know more about the nutritional content of our veg, visit our health page and for more information about gut health, visit the Love Your Gut website. Share this article

Herpes NYC Treatment Center
Opened 7 Days a Week for treatment in New York, NY.
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called fever blisters. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.
What are the signs and symptoms of genital herpes? People diagnosed with a first episode of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a year. Genital herpes can cause recurrent painful genital sores in many adults, and herpes infection can be severe in people with suppressed immune systems. Fortunately, infection of a baby from a woman with herpes infection is rare. A positive HSV-2 blood test most likely indicates a genital herpes infection.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a virus that is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. There are two types of Herpes simplex viruses. HSV-1 usually affects the lips, and is often referred to as a fever blister, cold sore, or sun sore. It should not be confused with aphthous ulcers, which are small, white, tender ulcers, which affect the inside of the mouth.
The herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the virus most frequently associated with gental herpes. It affects over 45 million people in the United States. HSV-2 usually affects the genital areas (the penis and the vagina.) Most (80%) HSV-2 positive people have some symptoms of the disease. However, only 20% of patients have the classical symptoms of genital blisters and burning.
Most patients (60%) have unrecognized symptoms, which they think of as yeast infections, jock itch, or irritation. Some patients (20%) have no symptoms of the virus at all. These people are called "asymptomatic shedders." Even if patients have no recognizable symptoms, they are still capable of spreading the disease to others. In fact, most HSV-2 appears to be transmitted from infected, but undiagnosed persons, or infected persons without any symptoms, who do not realize they are contagious.
Most cases of oral herpes are due to HSV-1, and most cases of genital herpes are due to HSV-2. But as oral sex has become more common, there are cases of HSV-1 that occur genitally, and HSV-2 that occur orally. However, 85-95% of recurrent genital herpes infections are HSV-2, and over 95% of HSV-2 infections occur genitally.
Diagnostic Laboratory Tests
There are four ways to diagnose HSV using laboratory techniques. The first is called a Tzanck Preparation, in which the roof of an intact blister is scraped, stained, and examined under the microscope for multinucleated cells
Although the results are available immediately, many patients do not have intact blisters, and the test itself cannot distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2.
The second test is to culture the fluid from an intact blister. The culture is sent to a laboratory, and after a few days, the results are available. However, the reliability of this test suffers also, because most patients do not have intact blisters.
The third test is called the POCkit HSV-2 Rapid Test. This ten-minute test, which needs only six drops of blood, works by detecting the presence of HSV-2 antibodies. Half the patients will develop detectable antibodies within two weeks of being exposed to herpes, and 80% will develop antibodies within one month. The POCkit test will not detect HSV-1 (cold sore) infections. Since HSV-2 infections can occur both orally and genitally, the test cannot identify the site of HSV-2 infections. But for most people, the benefits of having immediate results, make this test very popular.
The fourth test is a blood test. This is not an immediate test, and may take more than one week to obtain the results. Unlike any of the other tests, this blood test can distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2. This is important, because 70% of the population has had at least one fever blister, and is HSV-1 positive. This test can also distinguish between primary herpes (first episode) and recurrent herpes. By measuring IgM (which tests if herpes is currently present), and IgG (which tests if herpes has ever occurred in the patient's life), this test can distinguish between primary and recurrent infections for both HSV-1 and HSV-2, whether a blister is present or not.
Zovirax, Valtrex and Famvir are oral medications that have proven to be the most effective in treating HSV outbreaks. If the patient has frequent outbreaks (greater than once every three months), the patient is treated "suppressively", and given medication every day.
If the patient has infrequent outbreaks, the treatment is "episodic", and is started as soon as the patient develops any symptom.
Denavir is a topical medication that helps; but when used alone, it is not as effective as any of the oral medications.
What are cold sores and canker sores?
Cold sores and canker sores are oral lesions that can cause pain and discomfort. Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are painful, fluid-filled blisters that often appear in clusters and are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Canker sores are shallow ulcers in the mouth that can make eating and talking uncomfortable.
How are cold sores and canker sores treated?
Both cold sores and canker sores go away on their own and the pain generally lessens within a few days.
Cold sores and canker sores can be treated with ointments, creams, rinses, and oral medications.
These types of treatment can reduce healing time by one or two days and can lessen the uncomfortable symptoms.
If you notice the signs of a cold sore, such as a tingling, itching, or painful feeling around your mouth and lips, schedule an appointment for treatment as soon as possible.
By catching the cold sore early, oral medications can prevent it from breaking out.
If you already have a cold sore, oral medications( Zovirax,Valtrex and Famvir) help the sore heal much faster and will reduce the discomfort.
While the herpes simplex virus cannot be cured, repeated oral therapy can prevent future cold sore outbreaks.
Oral therapy can also lessen the pain from a canker sore and promote faster healing.
What are the benefits of using oral or laser to treat cold sores and canker sores?
Oral medications or alternative laser therapy can stop the progression of the lesion
Cold sores and canker sores heal faster without further discomfort
Pain relief is immediate
Cold sores can be prevented if treated once the lips begin to tingle or itch
Anti-Viral meds destroys the virus that causes cold sores
Alternative laser treatment takes just a few minutes and can be performed without anesthesia
Cold sores and canker sores recur with less intensity and frequency at the same location after laser or oral medications treatment.
Antiviral pills are your best choice for the treatment of oral herpes which are proven. They are more reasonably priced and work better.
Low-level laser therapy (LLT) as an alternative treatment method in long-term suppression of herpes simplex infections has yet to be established.
The question of whether these effects of low-level laser therapy have any influence on HSV infection remains to be determined.
Antiviral therapy hastens the healing of lesions if treatment is initiated in the early stage.
No studies compare the three, so think about which one is easier to take and at the best price.
Evidence shows that starting antiviral therapy with one of these three medications at the very start of a herpes outbreak on your mouth is your best chance to relieve pain and shorten the outbreak:
If you suffer from pain and discomfort caused by cold sores or canker sores, we encourage you to call our office today to learn more about our therapy and our treatments.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Fulton Financial (FULT) - Get Report stock coverage was initiated by analysts at Piper Jaffray with a "neutral" rating and a price target of $12.50.
Analysts believe that the company's shares appear fairly valued given profitability, and dividend yield and credit metrics are relatively in-line with peers.
However, risks include sustained low interest rates, which limits earning asset growth and inability to control increasing regulatory and compliance costs. Additionally, regional economic growth is expected to remain in the low-single digits, according to the analyst note.
The Pennsylvania-based company offers a traditional array of bank products, but focuses primarily on commercial-related assets.
In Friday's early morning trading session, shares are gaining 0.7% to $12.92.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates FULTON FINANCIAL CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate FULTON FINANCIAL CORP (FULT) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, expanding profit margins, attractive valuation levels and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- FULT's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- FULTON FINANCIAL CORP reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. Stable earnings per share over the past year indicate the company has sound management over its earnings and share float. We anticipate these figures will begin to experience more growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, FULTON FINANCIAL CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.85 versus $0.84 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.86 versus $0.85).
- The gross profit margin for FULTON FINANCIAL CORP is currently very high, coming in at 90.29%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 21.01% trails the industry average.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. The stock's price rise over the last year has driven it to a level which is somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

Nephew of the legendary UK inventor Sir Clive Sinclair is selling new, £3.5k electric tricycle.
Grant Sinclair shares more than just DNA with his Uncle, he also shares the entrepreneurial spirit that made Sir Clive on of the UK's most beloved household names during the 1980s.
So much so that Sinclair (junior) is looking to make a name for himself with his new venture, the Iris eTrike Extreme, a £3,500 electric, enclosed, electric tricycle that bares more than just a passing resemblance to his Uncle's most infamous invention, the Sinclair C5.
Boasting a 30mph top speed and with a 50 mile range, the trike isn't claiming to offer as revolutionary a change to British roads as it's spiritual forbear promised, but with a fully enclosed cabin at least you can guarantee a dry arrival at your destination.
If this is your cup-of-tea then you can reserve yours now at the official website for £99.

..and a c5 did well..
keeping true to the C5 it still looks @shite. Let's face it, it isn't a real road going option.
Why not just get a mobility scooter and put a cover on it?

Showcase the Liberal Arts degree at the University of Nottingham to prospective students. The video must not only explain what a Liberal Arts degree is, but explain some of the main reasons of why somebody would choose to study it.
One of the main things we liked about a Liberal Arts degree at the University was how it drew from many different subjects to make something full of potential for the student. It was this that drew us to a style of animation full of cut-outs, lots of different organic paper styles constructed in a way that made it feel fresh and intriguing to the viewer.
Working with the University of Nottingham, we drew on imagery from across the whole Liberal Arts subject matters to create a collage of different imagery. We then used a range of different animation techniques to make the collage effect feel handmade and tactile in tone.

Ever heard about Intermittent Fasting (IF)? It has recently been one of the hottest topics in nutrition science.
- • First of all: it totally works. We had been very sceptical before getting into it, but we are now convinced.
- • How it works: There are several variations of IF, but here our favourite one: eat between 12am and 8pm and fast between 8pm and 12 am. That's it!
- •Benefits: Lose body fat, gain lean muscles and benefit from positive hormone and cognitive effects
What is Intermittent Fasting?
IF is not a diet, it is a dieting pattern. It does not necessarily mean that you reduce your overall calories consumption. What it means is that you eat all you calories in a specific time period of the day, while in the other period you fast. We will call it the feast period and the fast period.
In other words: It changes when you eat, but not what and how much you eat
Different ways of Intermittent Fasting
In fact, there are several ways of how to intermittent fast.
1. The 16/8 Method
In this program you fast for 16 hours (usually between 8pm and 12am), followed by an 8-hour eating period (usually between 12am and 8pm). This essentially means to "only" skip breakfast.
This is our favorite, since it is probably the best method for regular gym-goers who want to lose fat but still increase muscle levels.
Also called the Lean Gains Protocol, invented by Martin Berkhan.
2. Other methods
Other methods are
- Eat-stop-eat by Brad Pilon: In here, you fast for 24 hours once or twice per week.
- 5:2 diet by Michael Mosley: Eat normal on 5 days per week, on the other 2 days consume only 500-600 calories per day
- Warrior diet by Ori Hofmekler, including a fasting phase of 20 hours.
In this post we will focus on the 16/8 method, as we think it is the most suitable program for most people.
How it works in detail
The first question that usually arises: Isn't skipping breakfast bad for you?
Simple answer: No.
But let's go through the process and analyze what actually happens in your body:
After eating a meal, the body has a lot of energy readily available and therefore, does not need to use the energy that is stored in your fat deposits. Your body stays for about 8 to 12 hours in that so-called fed state.
Once you reach the fasted state, your body will rely on the fat deposits of your body and will start to burn that fat.
Now, when we analyze a normal eating pattern with regular breakfast, lunch and dinner, we can easily see that the body never reaches the fasted state. And this is exactly where IF comes into play: By simply fasting for a period of a specific time, your body learns to rely on the fat resources in the fasted state.
But not only that: also because of the increased insulin sensitivity after a fast period, your body will be use the energy afterwards more efficiently.
Moreover, growth hormone levels increase during fasted states. This is exactly why IF can help to gain muscles while decreasing body fat levels! We know, that sounds like a miracle.
Health benefits of Intermittent Fasting
It is well known that fasting has several benefits for health. These benefits have also been proved for IF. The following list includes some examples:
- Reduced body fat
- Anti-aging
- Brain health
- Anti-cancer
- Anti-inflammation
- Reduction of insulin resistance
Our conclusion
IF has changed the view on preferable eating patterns of athletes and people who want to gain muscles / reduce fat substantially. When starting with IF, one of our main concerns was about skipping breakfast. Indeed, in the beginning it was not easy to focus at work in the morning (especially for Martin). However, after some days we realized that it was even easier to focus in a fasted state and that we were even performing well in heavy workouts.
One of our main motivations is that we can benefit from the health effects of fasting, without the downside of losing muscles.
Another advantage is, that it makes life easier. We simply do not have to think about food the first part of the day. This saves a lot of time that we used to dedicate to preparing breakfast and a snack.
Our recommendation for everybody is at least to try it 😉
Enjoy being fit

After all, that mildew isn't simply going to go away by itself. So if you need professional mildew removal services, our team is at your service and up to the challenge.

Don't live with mildew any longer. A1 Eco Mould Asbestos Removal is here to help. For more information about our mildew removal services or to schedule an appointment, call us today.
At A1 Eco Mould Asbestos Removal Removal is the most expensive method of dealing with asbestos, and it also has the greatest risk involved, due to the large number of fibers that may possibly released in removing it. The most common way to reduce asbestos emissions during renovation, demolition, cutting or stripping of asbestos material is to use a wetting agent throughout to keep asbestos from becoming airborne. A HEPA filter vacuum is essential for cleaning. It is important to never use a vacuum without HEPA filter; it will just spread the asbestos. Portable air ventilation systems can be used to protect workers from asbestos. Enclosure equipment is often used when working on brakes, to separate the worker from asbestos; the wet method is also used for brakes.

Thank you Warren for a fantastic job. You did exactly as promised and turned a stressful project into a pleasant one. I have referred you already--wishing you more success!
I called this company to get a quote for asbestos containment. Warren reviewed some pictures of the affected area and was honest with me to tell me that no containment was needed which was a relief!
My experience with this company was nothing short of great. They came on time, quoted accurately and finished on time. Warren was great to work. The price was also much better then another 2 competitors I had contacted. I am very happy that I found them to clean out the asbestos.
Warren was very punctual and professional. His team did a great job and the follow up was AMAZING! They absolutely stand behind their work!
Super nice people, very knowledgeable, came by for an assessment, were honest and let us know we might not need treatment. Appreciate their honesty and not just trying to get our job.
Warren and his team have done a fantastic job on my parents' property. They were very professional, responsive and efficiently completed the project. The quote was very detailed and Warren also took the time to explain the details of the process, how and when we could expect the project to be completed, and to answer all the questions/concerns we had. All the asbestos areas were professionally removed and disposed properly off the property. Everything was happening so smoothly, from the beginning to the end. My parents and I are very happy with the result and how efficiently it was done. Big thanks to Warren and his team!
I called Warren about vermiculite that was discovered during an inspection on a property up north. He offered right away to have someone come up to Orillia to take samples for a test - same day! He was very knowledgable about vermiculite and asbestos and I would recommend A1 Eco to anyone looking for an honest remediation service.
I simply cannot speak highly enough about this company. They just finished the job on my basement today and I am extremely pleased. Communication:excellent Attendance: on time even day. Quality of work: superb. A special mention about Kevin who did the last part of the job - really superb! If I hear of anyone who needs this type of work done I'm definitely going to send them to this company. It's really rare nowadays to be able to give this kind of reference. Well done!
Great Asbestos removal service. Warren was very pontual at get back to me, set clean up date and time to start in the morning. The crew did a wonderful job and cleaned up well after. I highly recommend.
I sent out a few inquiries for asbestos removal in the old basement of my retail store which was ridden with asbestos pipe covering. Warren promptly replied and offered to drive across the city to come assess the situation and provide me with an estimate. He explained in detail exactly how he and his team would tackle the problem and answered all the questions I had about the job. On the day of the job he and his team were on time, very friendly and professional. We carried on normal operations in the store and never could have guessed that there was work going on in the basement. The job was completed in a single day, and a post asbestos remediation verification performed by different independent company the next day showed that the air was safe and all the asbestos was gone. I couldn't have asked for better service.
Warren provided an efficient service while accommodating my time restraints. The work he provided was exceptional and his customer service was even better! A1 ECO does not disappoint!
Very professional and knowledgeable, they diffenatley know what they are doing, They explained literally evey details of their work to us before they started, I loved working with Warren and his team. I will recommend them to all my family and friends.
We used Warren and his team when our plaster walls unexpectedly came back positive for asbestos. Warren was very quick in setting up a meeting to assess the situation and his team was able to work within our renovation timeline to have the situation remedied. His prices were very fair and reasonable and we were very pleased with the quality of work. Unlike some other companies we reached out to, A1 Eco eased our fears from the start instead of capitalizing on them. We would highly recommend Warren and his team.
I would highly recommend Warren and his team to anyone looking to get mould or asbestos abatement. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. His team removed asbestos from around the registers in my home as well as some mould found in the basement. They did a thorough job and their prices were by far the most competitive out of the 3 other companies that I called. Thank you Warren! You've given my family real peace of mind.
I am very satisfied with my overall experience with A1 Eco in performing mould remediation in my basement.
Extremely knowledgeable and professional!
I called Warren about vermiculite that was discovered during an inspection on a property up north. He offered right away to have someone come up to Orillia to take samples for a test - same day!

High Quality Service
I highly recommend A1Eco. It was a pleasure to work with Warren in arranging and implementing the removal of our asbsestos kitchen floor. The crew worked efficiently and carefully to remove necessary furniture, cover essential areas and contain the area with protective, sealed material. Every step was undertaken with care and doubled checked, even once the job was done. We were left with a clean and dried floor, ready for new tile. We highly recomment this company.
Efficient and Professional
Our 1960's era house had asbestos around the floor vents. I called a few companies and selected A1 Eco. Good choice. Time was short and they showed up next day. Not surprisingly lots or care was taken in removing the asbestos. Although I didn't know exactly how many vents needed removal (charged by the vent), the worker inspected all and didn't try to sneak any clean ones in. They were ethical. Afterwards, the boss came by to inspect all of the work, which I thought wasn't necessary.
Happy Monday, I just wanted to say Warren and his team came in and did awesome job, removing the asbestos from my house.. I would refer him to anyone I know, a job well done ..Sharon Crummey from Centennial College... Thank you...
Mould Removal
Warren came in to give a quote on short notice on the weekend. After examining the situation and the strong odour that was spreading to the rest of the house, Warren offered to put up a containment barrier by himself and retrieve one of his HEPA air blowers/filters to help contain the mould and odour to the basement through negative air pressure. This was done without any commitment to further work at the time. Warren was reasonable and flexible with his pricing and timing to start - offering to start the next workday. The work involved removing all carpeting and underpadding, cabinetry, the majority of drywall, plastic walling in the washroom, and a bathtub, followed by mould treatment/cleaning. I am very satisfied with my overall experience with A1 Eco, Warren, and his team.
RE: Asbestos Removal
They were quick and efficient t removing the asbestos from our duct registers. Came on a Saturday. Would recommend.
Prompt and well-priced
Warrne's rate was very reasonable (asbestos tape removal from floor vents), and reporting was quick. It was a smallish job but handled quickly and at a very fare price.
We had A1 ECO do the asbestos removal in our home. They were nice , professional and pleasant. We would recommend Warren and his team to friends and neighbors.
Warren, gave us a prompt free quote on removing asbestos from our basement. With in two days Warren and his team arrived on time and did a great job. We would highly recommend A1 ECO, GREAT SERVICE!
Black Mould and Asbestos
The house was built in the 1930's and the large cellar got flooded about ten years ago. From then on Black mould began to appear and the asbestos heat sleeves on the hoy water pipes had begun to deteriorate, In under a day Air One Environments completely cleaned up the whole area and were were well within a budget I had estimated.
Excellent Service
Warren and his team were very professional and efficient in the service they provided. Warren described the process for mold removal and he explained the type of products which would be used. He was both courteous and helpful and provided a written quote for the cost of the service. The team did a great job and removed all equipment and barriers when the job was completed. I am confident in recommending this service to others. Thank you!

Hamilton's Supercrawl is a Must-Attend Event, Here's Why!
Anything with the word "super" as a prefix has to be good, right? YES, absolutely right! Hamilton's Supercrawl is, without a doubt, one of our favourite times of the year.
Officially entering its 9th season, Supercrawl, Hamilton's notorious Art and Culture festival produced by Sonic Unyon, takes place along James Street North, every second weekend of September. This year, the festival returns on September 8th, 9th and the 10th, and is looking for its best turn out yet. So let's make that happen!
So just how big is Supercrawl? Well let's put it this way, in 2014, the 3-day Arts and Culture festival attracted well-over 150, 000 people from all over Ontario. This year, they'll be looking to attract well over 200,000 over the course of the weekend, and with the entertainment they have planned for us, it's a number we'll likely see! But hey, who's counting anyways, right? Oh yeah, it's also ranked as one of the Top 100 Festivals/Events in Ontario, and rightfully so.
So, in other words, it's pretty big and pretty damn amazing!
If you're looking for an excuse (not that you really need one) to head down to Hamilton and checkout what the rumors are all about, then the Supercrawl weekend is calling your name. And if you're from the Greater Hamilton Area, but haven't made it out to any of the previous Supercrawls before… What the heck are you waiting for?!
Alright time to get to the good stuff, shall we?
Here are 5 reasons (and trust us, there's plenty more) you'll want to checkout this year's Supercrawl 2017.
1 | The ART
It should come to no surprise that you can expect to see a ton of Art during the Supercrawl weekend. Especially considering it is an Arts and Culture festival. And not to mention, it does take after Hamilton's monthly Art Crawls that allows local Artists to showcase their work.
At Supercrawl, the Art comes in many shapes, sizes, colours, and pretty much comes from all over the place. It's a great mix of both local and non-local Artists, all of which are extremely talented.
The Art Installations that Supercrawl Artists showcase, are always a hit and always attract positive attention. Keep a lookout for these and you'll enjoy the crawl that much more. Here are a few of the installations from last year's festival.
In addition to Art Installations, there are always a number of Art shows happening atthe local galleries, including Centre [3], the collaborative print-making studio and gallery.

2 | Live Music
What do 50+ musicians and groups, multiple stages and 3 days of entertainment have in common? Supercrawl 2017, of course!
On top of all the visual Art, Music has been and continues to be at the heart of Supercrawl. After all, the Event is hosted and organized by Sonic Unyon Recording Company, an independent record label located on Wilson Street in Hamilton, just off of James Street.
Some of the music acts include: Family of Things, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, The Kents, The Medicine Hat, Kroy, Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, Sam Roberts Band, John K. Samson, Daniel Lanois.

3 | Local Venues (Food, Drinks and Shops)
There's nothing better than having the perfect excuse to hop around and checkout all (well, most) of the local Venues. If you're from Hamilton, then try switching it up and checking out that shop or restaurant or bar that you haven't been to yet. On the flip side, if you're not from the area, then by all means go nuts! This is the best weekend to see what Hamilton is all about. You won't be disappointed!
James St (both North and South) as well as King William offer amazing restaurants and bars that whip up great meals and the amazing drinks! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Whatever cravings you have, we guarantee that they'll be satisfied. If you're not in the mood for food and just looking to grab a a few pints or cocktails, rest assured that you're in the right destination.
As much as we could talk about food and drinks all day, there are a ton of other shops and Venues that are more than worthwhile checking out on your Supercrawl adventures!
A few suggestions to checkout: The Mule, The French, Bar Sazerac, Nique, Hotti Biscotti, Architect Hair Design, Hambrgr, MezCal, Serve Ping Pong, Chocolate on James, Born and Raised, Bar Izakaya, Mixed Media & O's Clothes.

4 | Vendors (Crack those piggy banks!)
What would a street festival be without having a good mix of quality vendors? Well, probably not a very good one to be honest. It's time to crack open that piggy bank of yours and get ready to spend a few bucks this weekend! Even you're piggy bank wouldn't want you to.
Every Supercrawl there's always a great mix of vendors from local Artists, crafts, clothing, local organizations and charities, local media and publication companies, and.. dun..dun..dun.. (my version of sound effects) Food trucks! Let's be honest, there's just something about food trucks that keep people coming back for more.
So say goodbye to your piggyback (sorry, buddy) and hello to your new, soon-to-be purchase!
5 | The Atmosphere
Like any great event, it's not just about the bells and whistle, but the overall atmosphere of everything that makes it great. And trust us, Supercrawl has no shortage of a great atmosphere! Whether you're walking up and down the street checking out the vendors, grabbing a drink or a bite to eat at a local Venue, or even listening to the bands playing their set at one of the many stages, the atmosphere is AMAZING.
There's only so much we can really say to convince you to come to this year's Supercrawl. It's one of those Events where FOMO (fear of missing out) is a real thing!
Besides, where else are you going to see Artwork of an elephant riding a bicycle with such grace?
Supercrawl. That's where.

The New Era Club in Vancouver. Join us as we discuss how we can change the city one activist at a time!
Why Municipal Taxes keep rising. Metro Vancouver Organizational Structure
As usual, Globe 2014 was well planned and executed. However, the session organized by metro Vancouver titled: "The National Zero Waste Council: Advancing a Waste Prevention and Reduction Agenda in Canada" was disappointing and made me reflect on the sponsor of that session, Metro Vancouver, which keeps expanding its services and generously reward municipal politicians and its CEO at the taxpayers account. The cozy relationship between the CEO and the board, enabled him to run it as a privately owned corporation. On its website, you cannot find any information about its operational costs, or who works there and their remuneration as conventionally done by corporation owned by the taxpayers.
METRO VANCOUVER is NOT the CITY OF VANCOUVER. It used to be called, Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD). For some mysterious reasons, CEO, Johan Carline decided to change its name to Metro Vancouver. A member of the board could tell us how much money has been wasted to undertake this effort, but none of them would be available. They are away on a trip to discover how tourist destinations in Europe incinerate their garbage. J The most recent figures I could find about travel cost of an Honorable Board member was about David Cadman, an ex-Councilor at the City of Vancouver, who charged GVRD $8,358 in travel expenses in one year, over and above his benefits. Last figure I could find for the salary of the CEO was in 2006 in Georgia Straight. It was over $250,000 plus perks.
Metro Vancouver is a utility company funded by municipal taxes to manage water supply, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste disposal, and air quality management for member cities, but over the years it has been expanding its activities in areas foreign to its purpose, such as 911 services (I am not joking).
Upon winning a municipal election, councilors/mayors become qualified expert to set no the board of Metro Vancouver, although they do not have the technical or management expertise to qualify for corporate governance for such a huge, sophisticated engineering operation. They cannot be impartial because they have vested interest for a financial reward offered by the same CEO whom they are supposed to oversee his performance.
If becoming a board member is part of their job, why would they get paid twice: Once from the city and from Metro Vancouver. For example, the Chair of the Board, Greg Moore, is paid a salary of more than $90,000 a year from the City of Coquitlam. In addition, he gets another $90,000 as the Chair of Metro Vancouver board. If being the Chair is not part of his job as a mayor, he should not do it because he is hired FULL-TIME to serve his city. The law does not allow a mayor to moonlight in another job. If that is part of his job, why would he be paid another $90,000 + perks plus a fee for attending the meetings? Doesn't this look like triple dipping? The same applies to other councilors on the board.
Because they are technically inept to evaluate the operation, they have to put their trust in the CEO whom they are supposed to oversee his performance.
To get rid of ambiguity, Metro Vancouver should return to its old name Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD).
Metro Vancouver should have a non-political professional board of directors qualified to oversee its operations. It will be held accountable to the member cities and makes operation of metro Vancouver becomes an arm's length from the politicians.
Like any corporation funded by taxpayers, Metro Vancouver should report on its website who works there and their remunerations, and where their money is spent. It is time to stop wasting our municipal taxes and get municipal politicians do their job and stop moonlighting at Metro Vancouver. I mean the GVRD.

Can Chiropractic Care Boost Your Immunity?
Suffering from the common cold can happen any time of the year. The viruses that cause a cold can spread easily regardless of the season. However, our lifestyle and life choices also play an essential role in whether we get sick or not.
The Role of Our Immune System
Massachusetts chiropractors agree our built-in immunity system enables us to fight against infections. It protects your body by destroying any infectious organisms that attempt to invade. Different components of your immune system like white blood cells, proteins, organs, and tissues work together to help you stay healthy.
Issues with Our Immunity
If you are fit, exercise, and eat well your body is usually able to maintain a strong immunity system. But, sometimes this immune system can be compromised with an:
- Immunodeficiency disorder
- Auto-immune disorder
- Allergies
- or Cancer
Sometimes the body's immune system will mistakenly attack itself (auto-immune disorder). Signals within the body get a little scrambled, such as with: Rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, and Celiac Disease.
Treatment to Heal Immunity Issues
Chiropractic Care is mainly the manipulation of your body in relation to proper spinal alignment. The spine (and all the nerves ("wires") running around it) control the nervous system, which is responsible for controlling your body. With a pinched nerve (wire) or misalignment of the spine, the signals cannot flow properly and your immune system no longer has a leader.
- Proper Communication between Nervous and Immune System: Proper functioning of the nervous system ensures you have a strong immunity system and proper leadership to control that immunity system. Your nervous system carries messages from the brain (the leader) to all the body parts. It is the main highway where all traffic travels so all the destinations (organs, limbs, etc) have the correct information in a timely manner. Any interruption in the smooth passing of these messages can affect the functioning of your immune system. Proper Chiropractic Care aligns your spinal cord ensuring proper communication between your brain and your immune system.
- Stop Getting Sick Frequently: Chiropractors in Lowell focus on promoting overall wellness in communities. Your Lowell, MA chiropractor will help you and your body fight invaders and prevent them from causing you pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care will help you be and stay healthy.
- Speeds up the Healing Process: If you have a strong immune system then you will feel better more often and if you do happen to get sick your body will be able to fight and remove the infection much more quickly.
Give Central Street Chiropractic Center in Lowell, Massachusetts a call or email to learn more about how they can help you feel better, look better and become better.

Chemo Brain in Cancer Patients:
What Is It and How Can It Be Managed?
By Lori Smith, BSN, MSN, CRNP
June 24, 2019
"Chemo brain" is a side effect of chemotherapy that affects cognitive function in cancer patients. Also known as cancer treatment–related cognitive impairment, it is often described as a decrease in mental "sharpness" before, during, and after cancer treatment, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The length of these effects, as well as their severity, vary. Although there is no test to diagnose the condition, nor specific treatment, some medications and coping strategies have been shown to be helpful in some patients. This slideshow discusses several strategies to manage chemo brain, as well as research on how chemotherapy affects the brain long-term.
1. What is Chemo Brain? According to the ACS, chemo brain is often defined as a decrease in mental awareness during chemotherapy. Symptoms include memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, trouble multi-tasking, and slower thinking and processing while completing tasks. Patients may complain of forgetting things they never had trouble remembering, struggling to find words to complete a sentence, and being unable to recall names or dates. For many, chemo brain can set in quickly and lasts only a short time. Some patients might not even notice changes, but others may find they they affect their everyday life. (Source)
2. What Causes Chemo Brain? Research suggests that chemo brain may be caused by a number of factors, including the presence of cancer itself and treatments like surgery and hormone procedures. Medication used to treat nausea and pain during therapy may also lead to decreased cognitive function. Other studies show that chemo brain may be a function of cancer side effects such as stress/anxiety, depression, low blood count, sleep troubles, infection, and fatigue. Pre-existing conditions in combination with the cancer, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and patient age, are also factors. (Source)
3. Strategies to Help Manage Chemo Brain. While there are no proven therapies to help with chemo brain, there are some strategies that can help patients cope with the unwanted side effect. Using a daily planner, brain exercises, physical activity, and adequate sleep may be effective. Studies have also shown that eating more vegetables can help increase brain power. Experts who have studied memory recommend that patients suffering from memory lapses follow daily routines, develop set places for commonly misplaced objects, and avoid multitasking to help alleviate their symptoms. Doctors should also encourage patients who notice severe chemo brain symptoms to tell friends and family and to keep a diary of incidents to help pinpoint the source of the problem. (Source)
4. Pharmacologic Therapies to Relieve Symptoms of Chemo Brain. While there is no approved treatment or treatment regimen for chemo brain, there are some medications that may be helpful in improving symptoms. Stimulants like methylphenidate, which is used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, may be helpful. Patients may also benefit from donepezil and modafinil, which treat Alzheimer disease and sleep disorders, respectively. (Source)
5. Efficacy of Modafinil for Chemo Brain in Women With Breast Cancer. A small study found that modafinil may improve cognition in women treated for breast cancer. Following 8 weeks of therapy with the drug, researchers found a significant improvement in memory speed, quality of episodic memory, and mean continuity of attention when compared with the placebo arm. The study concluded modafinil may help this population of patients, though confirmation is needed. (Source)
6. Web-Based Cognitive Behavioral Rehabilitation May Be Effective. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that a web-based cognitive behavioral rehabilitation program was more effective than standard of care in adult cancer patients reporting cognitive symptoms. Those assigned to the intervention arm received a 30-minute phone consultation followed by a 15-week, home-based intervention, and patients in this group reported improvements in cognitive function as well as anxiety/depression and fatigue compared with the standard care group. (Source)
7. Link Between Cancer and Long-Term Cognition. Cancer survivors may have an increased risk for developing long-term cognitive dysfunction, researchers say. One study compared twins in which one sibling had cancer while the other did not. When compared with their cancer-free twins, cancer patients were shown to be more likely to experience cognitive dysfunction and dementia. Despite the lack of statistical significance in the odds ratio, there was a two-fold increase in dementia in the cancer survivor group vs the cancer-free twin group. (Source)
