New York based More Creativity Records released a banger track featuring San Jose producer by the name of Mike Maguire (a.k.a.Towers). Right off the bat, ‘Moon Base’ launches you into a journey filled with clanky, crunchy waves and wonky wubs almost simulating being launched through space. If there were ever a time you wanted to meet the unknown, this track will take you there.
For about three years Mike has been using Ableton to produce some killer, innovative sounds. We asked Towers in a brief SineWaveSurfers interview what his goal was for the track in which Mike stated,
“The goal of this track was to make something with a dark and heavy vibe. The first drop comes in super aggressive then has a switch up. My intention was to make a switch up that was surprising but still kept the dark vibe.”
Toronto based music blog, FUXWITHIT, had an awesome interview with Towers in which the artist stated some of his inspirations include G-Jones, Mr. Carmack, Tsuruda and more. FUXWITHIT described ‘Moon Base’ perfectly stating,
“The track builds to a Transformers-esque sound effect before firing its massive bass cannon of hard trap into your speaker systems. After absolutely pummeling listeners, without giving the audience a chance to breathe, the track takes an unexpected turn, exchanging the harshness and primal feel of hard trap for tight, wiggly undulations.”

Dylan Evans (a.k.a. Lavier) from the Less Than Family music label based in Greensboro, NC did the artwork for this track. Shout out to Dylan!
Towers has an original track coming out with MorFlo Records dropping in May. Be on the look out!

The final episode of Killer Women with Piers Morgan will be airing tonight, and viewers will be watching the story of murderer Sheila Davalloo.
This episode sees an unusual twist, as Davalloo hasn’t yet begun the 50 year sentence she was given for killing Anna Lisa Raymundo.Celebrity Big Brother: Brandi Glanville is the fourth housemate to be evicted
Why is this? Because she has to complete a 25 year sentence first – for the attempted murder of her husband.
It seems that Piers has saved the most bizarre story for last, as Davalloo’s tale explains how it was only after a violent sex game went wrong that police found out she was responsible for the previous murder.
In 2004, Sheila was convicted of the attempted murder and first degree assault of her husband, Paul Christos.
It all began with a sex game in March 2003, where Paul was blindfolded and handcuffed to a chair.
Sheila began touching him with objects – including a knife, which she used to stab her husband twice.
When she drove him to hospital, she stabbed him a third time.
The next day, she was charged with attempted murder, which was followed by a conviction in February 2004.
During the trial, a connection was made between Sheila and Raymundo.
This is because prosecutors argued that Sheila wanted her husband dead so she could be with her lover, Nelson Sessler.
Sessler’s former girlfriend was Anna Lisa Raymundo, who was murdered in November 2002.
Police believe that Sheila planned to kill her love rival, and stalked her for months before committing murder.
During the act, Anna Lisa was bludgeoned over the head several times and stabbed nine times after answering her door.
It wasn’t until November 2007, five years after her death, that Sheila was charged with the murder.
The connection was made when Detective Carpientier heard a strange 999 call regarding Raymundo’s murder, and immediately recognised Sheila’s voice.
This was followed up by investigators, who used DNA techniques to show that a blood stain on Anna’s bathroom sink handle – which authorities believe were used by her killer – belonged to Sheila.
The first degree murder conviction was given – but Sheila will be 60 when she starts the 50 year prison sentence.
Piers previously confessed to being terrified about meeting Davalloo, who is serving a total of 75 years in prison.
You can see how he deals with his emotions by watching the show tonight at 9pm on ITV.

Recently, you probably have received emails from a former Nigerian Counsel offering to split $100 million with you, if only you provided him with all of your personal information and kept the communication confidential. An obvious scam.
A much more effective and more lucrative scam is to have a licensed Insurance Agent sell a real Insurance Annuity Contract to a person of advanced age, robbing them of their life savings–while the agent pockets a hefty commission and the insurance company reaps the financial huge benefits by never having to pay-off.
These contracts are designed to prey on vulnerable seniors who believe their Insurance Company would do them no harm.The scam simply robs seniors and their heirs of their life savings.
Recently, you may have missed the $10 million Allianz Insurance Company was forced to pay in fines to the California Department of Insurance for bilking seniors.An investigation by the Department of Insurance found that the Company had routinely sold annuity policies to seniors 85 years and older, effectively bilking them of their life savings.
Allianz has been forced to pay fines in other states as well.But the victims of this crime rarely report it and rarely recover their own losses.Embarrassed they did not understand the terms of the contract after being pressured into signing it, many victims never come forward.
Allianz is not the only company doing this, just the most visible to date.The problem is so prevalent the legislature set up a special fund for District Attorney‘s to use to prosecute these crimes.The Life and Annuity Consumer Protection fund was created to incentivize District Attorneys to investigate and prosecute this “nonviolent” crime.The program is paid for by tacking on an extra dollar to every annuity contract sold in the state, which then goes to a special fund.
In addition to the fines, Allianz as part of a settlement, must conduct a review of all those who were 65 years and older when they bought their contract. Allianz must contact all those who are 76 years and older to make sure they understand their contract. Allianz must amend their contract to make them more understandable. Allianz must clearly point out the terms of bonuses being offered to their sale force and when they are paid. Allianz must allow seniors impacted by their fraudulent techniques to request cancellation of their contracts.
These are not options, but mandates that Allianz must fulfill as a result of their conduct.
Allianz got off easy.
Their profits more than compensate for their outrageous, deceptive and corrupt behavior. Companies like this should not be fined, but shut down.Confiscate their book of business and distribute it to honest carriers.
Seniors and their families need to be the first line of defense.The best way to protect consumers is through education and following some simple rules when buying an annuity contract.
Annuity contracts are never simple.They are challenging documents that must be read and understood.Seniors should never tie up money that they may need.Food, housing, medicines should never be sacrificed for a promise to pay tomorrow.
Here is some important advice.
First, never sign anything you don’t understand.
Second, insist that a trusted friend or family member be with you during any presentation or signing.
Third, never sign anything in front of an agent, make them leave the documents with you and allow yourself time to read and think about the product.If it is a good deal today, it will be a good deal tomorrow.
Obtain full disclosures of all surrender penalties and make sure everything is done in writing.
Finally, and most importantly, never believe that an Insurance Agent or Company is on your side.They are paid for selling products.If there is no sale, there is no commission.
For the most part, annuity contracts are bad deals for those of advanced age.The numbers simply don’t work out, and too often the victim and their heirs pay a hefty price.
If you find yourself a victim of this practice, report it immediately.See an attorney, who is paid to fight for you and doesn’t get paid unless you collect.
In the final analysis, it is your money.Insurance companies doing what Allianz has done are one step removed from the ex-Nigerian Counsel who has been sending you email.
Free consultation. Guaranteed confidential.
Monday through Friday 7 am to 9 pm Pacific; Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 9 pm Pacific.
No recovery: no fees, no costs.
Delay can result in the permanent loss of personal injury rights. Don’t put it off. Call now.

The four-day meeting, held by the Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference (CSG East), will draw legislators, executive branch officials, and other public and private-sector leaders from 11 eastern states, two U.S. territories, and five Canadian provinces as part of the organization’s 61st Annual Meeting.
New Hampshire state Senators Sharon Carson and Lou D’Allesandro will serve as co-chairs and oversee planning for a full schedule of events for all attendees and their families set to take place August 14-17, 2022.
Senator Sharon Carson has served Londonderry-area residents in the
New Hampshire Senate since 2008. She was re-elected President Pro Tempore in December 2020. Before becoming a senator, she also served as a state representative from Londonderry from 2000 until 2008.
“CSG plays such an important role in shaping successful public policy. I’m looking forward to meeting government leaders from across the eastern region so we can discuss the issues that are affecting all of us, including best practices that lead to solutions. Here in New Hampshire, we’re ready to roll out the welcome mat,” Carson remarked.
Senator Lou D’Allesandro, from Manchester, has represented the 20th District in the New Hampshire Senate since 1998. He is a member of the Finance and Capital Budget Committees and is Vice-Chair of Ways and Means. He previously served as National Chair for the Council of State Governments in 2019.
“I’m delighted to welcome the Council of State Governments to my hometown,” he said. “As legislators and officials, we have so much in common and so much to talk about. Seeing old friends and making new ones is a big part of the CSG experience. Our meeting in August will give us the chance to celebrate how government works with effective leadership, even in these most challenging times.”
The meeting, funded in part by registration fees, is also supported by corporate sponsorships. Each year, CSG East welcomes local, regional, and national sponsors ranging from Fortune 500 companies to local businesses and associations. More information on sponsorship levels and registration can be found here.
Questions about sponsorship and meeting details should be directed to CSG East Director David Biette, firstname.lastname@example.org.
Registration for all attendees opened March 16, 2022. Early registration rates will be available until June 19.
The Council of State Governments (CSG) is the nation’s only nonpartisan association of state officials serving all three branches of government in all 50 states and U.S. territories. CSG is a region-based forum that facilitates the exchange of information and ideas among its members and conducts fact-based research and analysis to help shape effective public policy.
CSG’s Eastern Office, based in New York City, supports legislative, judicial, and executive-branch officials from its 13 member jurisdictions, which include the states from Maine to Maryland, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The five Eastern Canadian provinces of Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island are international affiliate members of CSG’s Eastern Region.

AWE attendees will have a chance to learn the basic steps of a popular partner dance directly from life-size holograms of dance instructors.
Today we are excited to announce that we are premiering a life-size immersive dance lesson experience at the 9th annual AWE (Augmented World Expo) conference in Santa Clara, May 30 – Jun 1.
The experience is titled The World’s First Dance Lesson in Augmented Reality. It features life-size holograms of dance instructors which interact with guests to teach the steps of a popular style of social dance. The installation will be part of the AWE Playground, a 20,000 square foot exhibit packed with daring, first-of-their-kind, augmented and virtual reality experiences. The Playground is accessible to conference and expo attendees on May 31 and June 1, 2018.
While Dance Reality has already helped thousands of people worldwide learn to dance from their smartphones, this is the first ever immersive dance lesson that is full-sized and doesn’t require holding a device in your hands. This is an opportunity for us to showcase our upcoming product offerings, which will give everyone the option to practice dance with life-size instructors, from their homes.
“We are thrilled to team up with AWE to bring this first-of-its-kind experience” says our co-founder Bee. “Our goal is to bring the classroom into your space, so you can receive instruction anytime and anyplace. We’ve known that people are reluctant to take dance classes because they are too self-conscious, too busy, or are convinced they can’t learn quickly. Now you can practice at your own pace, whenever and wherever you are. I’m so excited that so many people are enthusiastic about the possibilities of immersive learning. I can’t wait to see everyone try our newest experience first-hand at AWE.”
Today we are also announcing that we will be releasing a new feature which we call adaptive learning. Future versions of our products will interact with the student to tailor his/her lessons based on progress. Adaptive learning makes the experience more akin to a private lesson than to a group class. AWE attendees will be able to try this feature hands on at the AWE Playground exhibit.
We plan to make these new products available in the fall. We have not determined pricing yet but we expect it to be significantly lower than group classes offered at traditional dance studios. To request early access, email us at firstname.lastname@example.org.

If you’re going to AWE, please say hi to us after you check out the experience, or email us today to set up a meeting.
We hope to see you all there!


It is a cloudy and cool day in Connecticut as our next storm approaches. Unfortunately, the forecast for Thanksgiving Day, where a lot are hoping to be outside, is looking less than ideal. Let's dive in.
It is mostly cloudy in CT today, but there are already some showers around. We should see an increase in coverage of the rain showers late today and especially this evening as an area of low pressure travels well to our northwest. This storm system should bring us some meaningful rain, which is still needed given our continued rainfall deficit. The rain should be heaviest overnight and tomorrow morning, but conditions will only slowly improve over the course of our Monday and rain may be heavy at times. It should be breezy nonetheless. Tomorrow looks warmer than today as warm air is advected in ahead of a front that will deliver a colder Tuesday.
Tuesday should be beautiful as high pressure builds in and brings sunny but breezy conditions as colder air advects in. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s, though some hill towns may top out in the upper 30s. Wednesday should be dry and slightly warmer, but clouds will be increasing as our next storm system approaches.
Turkey day is looking wet. Another area of low pressure is expected to traverse the region and it will complicate Thanksgiving plans. Right now, there is a bit of uncertainty in the timing and intensity of the storm. Rain showers look to begin during the pre-dawn hours of Thursday. That's also when we may see the heaviest rain. There are mixed signals on how quickly the storm will depart. The GFS for instance only has light showers during the afternoon. The Canadian has a stronger storm that washes out the day. The European is kind of in the middle, with heavier rain in the morning hours and some showers in the afternoon, heavier than the GFS but not a washout like the Canadian.
Right now, I think outdoor activities on Thanksgiving look tough. Although temperatures will likely top out in the upper 50s to low 60s, there looks to be enough precipitation around that only those with covered patios are likely to have a decently comfortable outside gathering. This forecast will need to be fine tuned, so expect more from us as we get closer to Thursday.
The period after Thanksgiving starts out quiet, but by the weekend we may be looking at more unsettled weather. First, Friday looks nice as the Thanksgiving storm moves out. Conditions should be partly cloudy with seasonable temperatures. Saturday we are back to cooler temperatures, increasing clouds, and a chance of showers as the guidance is nearly unanimous on a big storm developing to our south and west. This should be a rain event, but the timing is all over the place right now. At the moment, Saturday looks ok, but Sunday and/or Monday look to bring rain and breezy conditions.
Monday: Mostly cloudy and breezy with rain. Highs in the mid to upper 50s. Chance of rain 80%.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny and breezy with cooler conditions. Highs in the low to mid 40s.
Wednesday: Increasing clouds. Highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with rain and rain showers. Highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Chance of rain 60%.
Friday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Saturday: Increasing clouds with a chance of showers. Highs in the low to mid 50s. Chance of rain 30%.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy and breezy with a chance of rain. Highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Chance of rain 40%.

If there are two things werewolf Tommi Grayson is good at, it's shit-talking and killing. She has been doing a lot of both over the past few months as part of a supernatural squad tasked with hunting down the last members of an evil cult in Ireland.
However, things are never quite as simple as point and shoot.
Mortality and betrayal weigh heavy on her heart as she attempts to return to some semblance of a normal life with the rogue werewolf pack she has befriended in Berlin.
Yet the supernatural world around her is changing.
Things are in motion, things she doesn't quite understand. With those close to her suddenly in the crosshairs, Tommi finds herself forced to choose a side in a war she didn't even know she was fighting.
From the Aurealis Award-winning author of The Witch Who Courted Death and The Wailing Woman comes the sixth adventure in the Supernatural Sisters universe.

At Perpetual Insights, we live and breathe brands reinventing tomorrow’s consumer landscape, and we believe people are the most valuable asset in any brand. California based Califia Farms is one brand that’s placing its people at the centre to their mission to build an industry-leader in the beverage space: the new milk of tomorrow. Securing a 50 million dollar investment in July, they are catching the attention of many, including actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jared Leto, who are sitting on their board.
In a recent interview with Greg Steltenpohl, CEO and Co-Founder of Califia, he says “I’m pretty much a forward-looking guy and love to build passionate teams that want to nourish and inspire the world!” With that people-strategy and environmental-lover Leo on their board, how could we not pay attention to Califia?
Califia’s motto, “Something Different, Something Better,” truly encompasses a mission-driven brand identity with an innovative spirit. By using less water and land in their proprietary process than that of traditional milk from animals, they are cognizant of not only the environment, but also aware of their consumers, who are demanding healthier choices without wanting to sacrifice their taste preferences. Califia products have actually reduced their sugar content by 57% since 2014, according to their website.

Be prepared to pay for products in supermarkets much more. In early February, the worst frost in 60 years of records destroyed the entire planting crops throughout the southwest United States and northern Mexico. It was reported that some U.S. supermarkets have doubled or even tripled the price of some goods. Yes, you read correctly. Prices for certain positions of vegetables in many American supermarkets have really grown in two or even three times. Oddities weather, that we are seeing this winter across the globe, play havoc with food prices. In January, food prices have broken all records, and most analysts are inclined to believe that food prices will continue to rise. Even before the terrible frost in the south-western United States and northern Mexico, world food prices are being pushed up the unprecedented floods in Australia and Brazil, and key agricultural regions of China are now experiencing the worst drought in 200 years. Food prices are expected to eventually return to a normal level, but it just shows you how much this can change, food prices, when there is a major disaster.
In one supermarket in Portland buyers were forced to pay twice or three times for some of the positions that resulted from the recent severe cold …
"We had to double and triple some prices and consumers when it saw it a couple of them shocked," says the manager of Food4Less Rusty Peak.
Another product manager told a local news station Portland, I never saw such that happening …
"Increase, increase, increase," says Troy Winterhalter, reading urgent messages sent to it on the computer. "Peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, asparagus, the entire asparagus crop was destroyed," he says.
One of the crops, which is particularly affected because of the recent cold, is corn. Mexican authorities estimate that we lost about four million tons. This represents 16 percent of Mexico's corn crop.
The prices of tortillas (tortilla made of corn flour, approx. Mixednews) grew even to the last frost, and now many officials are extremely concerned about where in the end those same prices will be.
In 2007, the price of tortillas has led to unrest throughout Mexico.
But we should worry not only about the tortilla.
The fact that corn prices are so important because it is used in literally thousands of different foods ….
This effect of corn for the food industry is different from any other agricultural products. At the most basic level, corn is the staple food for billions of people around the world and one of the key ingredients in dozens of products such as breakfast cereals, bakery products, bread, cakes, chips, soft drinks and even bourbon.
But that's not all — of corn is an important part of feed cattle, chickens and pigs.
Over the past six months, the cost of corn has doubled, and now this cold, will likely raise prices even higher.
Now, many experts expect the price of corn will break records throughout 2011.
In addition it can be said that careful attention should be paid another culture.
Are you willing to pay a lot more for the chocolate?
The cost of cocoa growing, and many analysts predict that the era of cheap chocolate is quickly coming to an end.
Now, usually somewhere between half and two-thirds of the world's global supply of cocoa comes from the Ivory Coast and Ghana. But the rapidly growing global demand, coupled with some serious problems of agriculture is concerned that the global cocoa market is currently in a state of constant transformation.
As explained in a recent article, Globe And Mail, cocoa futures reached last month, a 30-year high, and growing concern that in the coming years we will be faced with a serious shortage of chocolate …
And the Ivory Coast and neighboring Ghana are on the way environmental disaster. The trees are old and sick crops, the soil is depleted, the temperature is rising, and rainfall are not regular. Young farmers are not interested in the cultivation of cocoa, which is associated with poverty, and they throw everything and move to find paid less, but more predictable operation in the city. Those who remain in rural areas are struggling in trying to meet the demand, and they have little left to invest in the restoration of their farms.
Another factor that will have an impact on rising prices, will be gasoline. Almost all of our food has to be transported over long distances, and each time the price of gasoline will rise, it will have inflationary pressure on the cost of food.
Most Americans still blindly believe that our economy is back to normal as soon as possible, but the harsh truth is that the world has changed. Age of cheap and abundant food that we are experiencing is coming to an end.
In the coming years will be reduced food supplies, and food will become more expensive.
Do not let the changing global food situation take you by surprise. Do stocks while the cost of food is still relatively low.

Majority of Victims of Trafficking do not have access to safe housing
A new report by Hibiscus Initiatives, and supported by Commonweal, finds that the majority of potential female victims of trafficking are unable to access safe houses, with some even facing homelessness. Hibiscus urges that foreign national female trafficking survivors can be housed in safe houses.
Chief Executive of Hibiscus, Marchu Girma: “Safe house provision is important for recovery and wellbeing of women who are survivors of trafficking. The government needs to address failings and gaps by increasing investment.”
The Closed Doors report finds that a significant number of victims access housing provided through Asylum Support, which is not designed for individuals who have experienced trafficking.
Donna, survivor of trafficking and in asylum accommodation said “We are trying to survive from the worse situation, and they are making it worse”
Current legislation states that potential victims of trafficking should be offered safe house accommodation – in which ongoing 24-hour support is available from specialist and trained staff.
Findings of the Closed Doors report:
- There are not enough safe house beds to meet the needs of the number of people going through the National Referral Mechanism (NRM),
- The vast majority of foreign national female trafficking survivors are housed in asylum accommodation when they are meant to be placed in safe houses, meaning they are facing inequalities because of their immigration status.
- Asylum accommodation is unsuitable and unsafe for the 45-day reflection period for those who have been identified as potential trafficking survivors are entitled to receive. This places trafficking survivors at risk of re-traumatisation, re-exploitation and re-trafficking.
- Too many people go missing after being recognised as potential victims of trafficking by the National Referral Mechanism.
Recommendations by the Closed Doors report:
Improve Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract (MSVCC) to include explicit policies and procedures to address failings and gaps under the current contract, including the provision of enough safe housing for victims of trafficking.
Improve provision of appropriate and secure accommodation for victims of trafficking. Victims must be informed of their rights and be provided opportunity to participate in decisions around their housing.
Improved comprehensive training must be provided to all professionals and volunteers working with trafficking victims during initial needs assessments and in accommodation settings.
Clearer and stronger monitoring and accountability mechanisms must be implemented to ensure victims of trafficking and victims groups can challenge failure to deliver services under the MSVCC in line with relevant legal frameworks, policies, and procedures.
Ashley Horsey, Chief Executive of Commonweal Housing says: “Commonweal is proud to have supported this research which shines a light on a very concerning housing injustice. It is clear that safe houses provide victims of trafficking with safety, security, and stability for recovery.
“The need for such specialist housing is a recognised key part of this country’s support for victims of trafficking. That so many are not accommodated in a safe house, and are too often being housed in unsuitable or even dangerous situations is an indictment on a system that should be protecting some of the most vulnerable.”
Funding for this research was awarded by Commonweal in 2019, following Hibiscus’ successful application to their Housing Helps competition. Commonweal is an independent award-winning charity working to investigate, pilot, and champion housing-based solutions to social injustice.

Neighbors A/C Do-It-Yourself Tips
The following Do-It-Yourself tips are simple measures that will safeguard the life of your unit, reduce energy costs, and improve overall system efficiency.
You should replace your air filter every two months. However, it is important to check your filter every month especially if you have pets or allergies. A dirty filter can restrict your AC’s airflow requiring it to work harder than necessary, cause your evaporator coil to freeze up and send dust and other pollutants right back into your air! If you have a washable filter, make sure it’s completely dry before you place it back inside your unit to avoid any mold growth.
Neighbors A/C can custom make any size filter to meet your comfort needs. We also have standard sized filters. Give us a call, we will be happy to assist you!
Keep Your Outdoor Condensing Unit Clean
Your condensing unit emits the hot air extracted from inside your home. Having debris (leaves, branches, grass clippings, etc.) stuck in the condensing coils acts as a blockade that will cause your unit to work harder to expel the hot air.
You can clean your condensing unit by using a brush, broom or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to clean the surface. A quick wash with the garden hose works too!
Base Pan and Drain Line
Periodically check the base pan under the inside air handler and remove any dirt and mildew that have accumulated. You may need a wet vacuum to do this. You should also connect the vacuum to the outside drain line to clear out the natural build-up of grime.
Making sure your base pan and drain line are clean will help your unit drain properly and increase system efficiency. It will also prevent unnecessary and costly service calls to your HVAC contractor.
You can clean your garbage disposal by grinding up ice cubes and salt to remove tough residue that has built up inside the disposal. You can also grind citrus fruits (e.g., oranges, limes, grapefruit, lemons, etc.) to get rid of foul odors and freshen things up!
Mildew and Moisture
You can avoid moisture and mildew buildup by:
- Use a dehumidifier to dry the air and walls and keep extra moisture out
- Don’t hang damp clothes in closets
- Periodically air-out your bathroom and kitchen sink cabinets
- Install vents with ventilating fans in your kitchen and bathrooms
- Choose shower curtains that dry and clean easily to avoid soap residue
- Keep your showers and tubs clean of soap-scum so that they dry quickly
Clean your humidifier at the beginning of every heating season. To ensure cleaning is done properly, review your owner’s manual for instructions on how to clean the evaporator pad and external components. Or, you can call the experts at Neighbors A/C and we will be happy to help!
Seals and Weather Stripping
Check the seals around windows and doors to ensure that air is not escaping. Faulty seals or weather strips can decrease the efficiency of your AC and have you paying more money a month than you should! Seal these areas using a high quality caulk or add weather strips around moving parts of windows and doors to prevent air loss.
If you have a mechanical thermostat, making the simple upgrade to a digital thermostat will help maximize your AC unit’s efficiency. Not only will you save money on your monthly utility bills, but digital thermostats are more accurate and easy to program. Be sure to preset your desired temperatures for specific times of the day to fulfill your comfort needs.
Maintaining your dryer can help prevent house fires, reduce energy costs, and preserve the quality of your clothes. We recommend you clean your lint filter after every dryer load and have your dryer vent checked annually by a professional. Be sure that the outside vent flaps open properly and are not blocked by dirt and debris.
The following signs are indications that your dryer vent is blocked and requires cleaning:
- Heavy clothing, such as towels and jeans, take longer than usual to dry.
- The laundry room feels overly humid and clothing feels hotter than usual at the end of a cycle.
- There is a burning smell when using the dryer.
- The outside vent hood flaps do not open properly

Stanhope Capital crusades to restore faith in advice
Stanhope Capital, the asset manager whose clients range from wealthy families to the Institute of Cancer Research pension fund, will this week start to canvass like-minded investment firms for a project dubbed the New City Initiative, which aims to become the voice of independence in the Square Mile.
Stanhope chairman Daniel Pinto believes that commission-driven sales tactics have undermined the public's faith in financial advice.
He said: 'There needs to be a new kind of business ethic because of the loss of confidence in traditional banks.'
Stanhope Capital's clients include the Institute for Cancer Research
Pinto expects up to 30 firms with about £100 billion under management to become founder members of the New City Initiative and he predicts that a similar number will join soon afterwards.
He is looking to attract companies that operate to high ethical standards and which share his conviction that London's financial reputation needs protecting from the taint of hardsell bonus-driven behaviour.
Members must be totally independent and be willing to promise transparency of charges and to have an alignment between principals and clients.
Stanhope Capital, like a growing number of other finance firms, is the product of executives who have broken away from the big banks, disillusioned with the quality of service offered.
Managing partner Julien Sevaux says too often the big banks claim to be offering 'free' investment advice when hidden charges are far more costly than a flat fee.
Stanhope, for example, charges one per cent a year.
Though it caters for the very rich, Stanhope expects asset managers with a more mainstream retail business to become part of the New City Initiative.

Kathryn’s Pick: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
“You may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships. Some you’ll discover you should put behind you. Others are worth every risk.” – Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End
Adam Silvera hides nothing with this title yet, after reading this book my heart is left feeling betrayed. They Both Die at the End is set in a world were characters are called and notified 24 hours before they will die. The idea behind this seemingly-ominous act is to allow those with regrets to correct them or to allow a final chance for each person to truly live. Readers can expect to follow the stories of Rufus and Mateo, two men who have just received their call, as they attempt to appreciate the little things. Readers are also allowed a glimpse into the lives of a variety of characters and how Death-Cast, and the calls they make, have impacted and will impact their lives. The days’ worth of memories these two men share are enough to change almost anyone’s ideas on what is really important in this life. I do not want to give too much of this books’ plot away because I want each reader to experience the spoiler-free emotional rollercoaster that I did.
Personally, I was impacted by the ideas that this book mercilessly brings to light. Each page stresses the idea to live in the moment and appreciate all of the little things we often push aside. A book based around the topic of death can become a bit heavy at points, but I am left feeling refreshed after this emotional read.
