Check the caulking around the windowBroken or missing caulking will allow water and the wind to penetrate the walls and cause moisture damage and rotting over time. Caulking acts as the first line of defense against water penetration into the wall structure.

Look for signs of worn weatherstrippingIn slider and hung windows, weatherstripping is a crucial element in preventing drafts and heat loss. As the window gets older, the weatherstripping wears out and deteriorates. Most weatherstripping today is peel and stick, and you can replace it yourself.

Check your window for sealed unit failureA chipped or cracked glass pane may seem like a visual nuisance, but the problem may be much bigger than meets the eye. If your glass panes are put together in a sealed unit, there is a good chance there may be a gas fill between the glass panes to improve the windows efficiency. If the glass pane is cracked, the seal in the window may be broken causing the gas to leak and your home to lose heat. It is often possible to change just the sealed unit in the window without having to replace the whole window.

Monitor air humidity in your homeBecause warm air contains more moisture than cold air, it is common for windows to form condensation on the glass. If left to stand this condensation can cause mold growth on windows or be absorbed into wood window components, eventually leading to rotting. Some people resort to buying dehumidifiers for their homes, but lowering the thermostat a couple of degrees or simply ventilating the room can reduce the levels of humidity significantly.

Dont wait to replace problem windows or doors. Save yourself money on your energy bill and beat mold and wood rot to the punch. Speak with the experts at R&L Contractors and Amazing Windows and Doors today!

The Massachusetts School Building Authoritys board of directors on Thursday approved four school roof replacements in Worcester and four other projects in the region.

In Worcester, Tatnuck Magnet School, Vernon Hill School and Worcester East Middle School will receive funding from the MSBA to fully replace their roofs, while Burncoat Street Preparatory School got the OK for a partial roof replacement.

In addition, the board approved a boiler replacement at Lincoln Street School.

Combined, those five projects are expected to cost close to $10 million; the MSBA will cover about 75% of that total.

Elsewhere in the region, the MSBA directors also on Thursday approved $2.3 million of an expected $3.1 million needed to replace part of the roof and boiler at Fitchburgs South Street Elementary School; $751,188 for a $1.5 million partial roof replacement at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School; and $365,276 of the $1.2 million required to replace the boiler at Southboros Mary E. Finn Elementary School.

All of those projects are to be completed through the MSBAs Accelerated Repair Program, which is intended to help pay for roof, boiler, and window and door replacements in a relatively quick time frame.

"The Accelerated Repair Program allows us to make critical repairs to more schools in less time," state Treasurer Deborah Goldberg, whose office oversees the MSBA, said in a statement, adding that the projects "make schools more energy efficient and generate significant cost savings."

Worcester in particular has benefited from the program, submitting and getting approved for around four projects a year over the last decade. This year, the district has shifted its focus from window and door replacements to upgrading roofs; according to the school departments budget book last year, it planned to submit 15 school roof replacements to the MSBA for approval from 2019 through 2023.

While almost all of those schools are elementary schools, one of the exceptions is Worcester East Middle, a nearly century-old school that has regularly been on the districts submission list to the MSBA for a more comprehensive replacement or renovation.

But school officials decided the roof project couldnt wait for the school to be accepted into the authoritys core project pipeline. Worcester East Middle currently sits behind Burncoat High School as the districts No. 2 priority for replacement/renovation, meaning it could be years or even a decade before the school is rebuilt or renovated, given the MSBAs lengthy approval process for comprehensive building projects.

While Worcester East Middle is in the MSBAs Accelerated Repair Program, it wont be able to be submitted as a core project, according to Brian Allen, the districts chief financial and operations officer. Typically, Accelerated Repair Projects are completed in a year and a half.

"But once the roof is completed, we still intend to submit for full renovation under the core program," Allen said, adding the district still sees it as the second most pressing school construction project behind Burncoat.

Windows 10 is experiencing a spectacularly bad run of faulty updates recently, and if youve had enough, then Windows 12 Lite is promising to fix those issues.

Now, we should say straight away that this is not an official release from Microsoft. Instead, it appears to be a modified version of the Linux Lite 4.8 LTS distro made to look like Windows 10 with the default background wallpaper and custom icons.

Windows 12 Lite was spotted by a reddit user at a local computer sale, and according to the documentation that comes with the software (which is actually a crudely-printed sheet of A4), using Windows 12 Lite means No upgrading when ever you want to work. No upgrades that fail so you cannot upgrade clearly referencing Windows 10s recent travails.

It also makes the bold claim that there are no virus or ransomware as Windows 12 is immune from these nasties.

It also says that Windows 12 Lite is more than three times faster than Windows 10 and boots in about 15 seconds.

As well as the badly-printed out manual, there is also a rather ropey-looking website, which at least is honest about it being Linux Lite 4.8 LTS made to look like Windows 10.

Apparently, the seller was offering DVDs of Windows 12 Lite for 15 (around $20, AU$30) at the computer sale and while thats certainly cheaper than a Windows 10 licence you should never buy random software like that and you should never pay to use free Linux distros like Linux Lite.

While Windows 12 Lite is clearly not going to replace Windows 10, it does raise some interesting points about how Linux could be a good alternative for people who are getting sick of Microsofts mishandling of Windows 10.

There are many lightweight distros out there that run much faster than Windows 10 especially on older hardware, and because not as many people use Linux versus Windows, there are fewer viruses and malware threats as well.

And, as Windows 12 Lite shows, you can configure Linux to look and behave very similar to Windows. Check out our pick of the best Linux distros for beginners for better choices for replacing Windows 10 with Linux.

Transfers to replace injured Adam Forshaw at Leeds United in January were not considered because of the cost and level of midfielder required.

Head coach Marcelo Bielsa addressed the matter of Forshaws hip surgery in Thursdays press conference after it had been announced the midfielders season was over.

Forshaw went under the knife on Thursday in Colorado and will now look to return to action in pre-season ahead of 2020/21.

One of the main tenets of Bielsas tenure at Elland Road has been his refusal to run with anything other than a small squad.

When a key cog in that unit is ruled out, their absence is keenly felt. Furthermore, when their season is prematurely ended less than two weeks after the latest transfer window ends, there are question marks around contingency plans.

Elia Caprile, Ian Poveda and Jean-Kevin Augustin were the only three additions last month. Forshaw, despite his aborted attempts to return, was not directly replaced.

Bielsa explained why and acknowledged it is troubling to have planned a campaign for an 18-man squad and then lose a regular starter permanently.

I would like to count on Forshaw, he said. We resolve this situation with [Kalvin] Phillips, with [Mateusz] Klich, but when you plan one season with 18 players it is not the same as when you have to struggle with less players.

If we bring in another player, always we have to bring in a better player and better means, in every sense, not just in skills, resources, if not one player who can compete right now.

We can bring one player like that paying a lot of money.

Augustins status in the squad has already been discussed at length by Bielsa, who has repeatedly pointed to the Frenchmans limited minutes across the past 12 months and inadequate fitness for his system.

Evidently, this need to hit the ground running also played on Bielsas mind when it came to any proposed Forshaw replacement.

Also, it is understood the Whites do not have a sizeable space in their Profit and Sustainability projections to accommodate such an investment.

CALGARY -- Coventry Hills residents were sweeping up a lot of broken glass Thursday, after a vandalism spree left numerous cars with windows blown out, leaving the Calgary police asking area residents for help identifying a suspect.

Between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Thursday, according to Const. Clayton Publicover-Roe, about a dozen vehicles had their front side driver's window shot out with what appears to be a BB or pellet gun.

Most of the damage was done in the Coventry Close area, although Publicover-Roe said the police had also received reports of it in Evanston, where possibly six other vehicles were affected.

Two more incidents were reported around 5 p.m. Thursday, one in the 4600 block of Hubalta Rd SE at 5:10 p.m. and another in the 3200 block of Doverville Cres S.E. at 5:28 p.m. The Dover location was confirmed as a vehicle, while it was unclear whether the Hubalta incident was a vehicle or a home, but Calgary police said a window was shot out five times, with a BB gun.

Coventry Hills resident Gary Bahen had two vehicles vandalized: one school bus that he said was vandalized Wednesday and one van that was hit Thursday.

On the school bus, Bahen said, "I got my driver's side window and seven of the side windows (shot out), so a real mess."

After he spent most of the day Wednesday arranging for new windows to be shipped from Quebec, Bahen woke up Thursday to discover his van window shot out.

"I'm having a hard time (replacing that)," he said. "I've been calling around. Looks like we're getting something in from Edmonton."

Bev Teichroeb, who has lived in Coventry Hills for seven years, said the experience was unsettling.

"You don't feel very safe in your neighbourhood," she said. "You wonder what's going on, like why are they doing it?"

According to Publicover-Roe, theft didn't appear to be a motive.

"At this point, so far there's no reports of anything missing from the vehicles," he said. "It just appears to be possibly somebody driving by shooting at windows with a pellet or BB gun."

Bahen who said there has been very little vandalism in the 16 years he's lived in the area, wasn't too upset despite the fact that it's costing him "a couple hundred bucks."

"I'm sure it was just some kids or something," he said. "BB guns. What do you do? Hopefully it's just a random vandalism kind of thing."

Publicover-Roe said there may be others who have had their windows shot out who feel as if it's not that big a deal, and asked that they contact police to let them know.

"Police take this very seriously," he said. "There's lots of possibilities of harm to the public. Possibly, somebody could have been sitting in one of those vehicles at the time the windows were damaged.

"At the moment we don't have any suspects," he added, "so that's why we're reaching out to the public. If anybody knows anything, if anybody has any CCTV footage, door bell camera or anything like that, just reach out to us and give us a call."

Police can be reached at 403-266-1234.

How to test a MacBook battery: see if it needs replacing & replace it - Macworld UK

Almost 10 million pound will be spent on replacing every street lamp in Swindon with LED bulbs.

The Swindon Borough Council revealed the 9.7m project to replace the current lights with light-emitting diodes.

The authority says it will mean a big saving in electricity and cut carbon emissions.

Here's what you said on Facebook and the Advertiser website:

Mark Walker: "Where did that 10 million appear from? It would be a better investment in our dilapidated and abandoned town centre.

"There is one happy LED seller out there."

Paul Conetta: "They can't even fix the potholes so what chance have we got with this idea?"

Jennie Wolfie: "Will the amount of electricity being used and pollution created really outweigh the costs of such a project?

"Are there other ways the exact same money can be spent to have a greater environmental impact?

"If going to such lengths and expenses, can they not be made solar panelled, then it wouldn't be a case of using less electricity, but none."

Dave Durston: "Just what we need, instead of soft mild light coming through the window at night, now we'll have a blinding white light instead.

"Top job Swindon Borough Council."

Julie Clark: "They could spend that on fixing the poor roads and the bodge jobs they do that don't last."

Dan Elliott: "Everybody: 'Swindon needs to spend money on looking more attractive and being more green'.

"Swindon Council: 'We're installing efficient LED streetlights'.

"Everyone: 'How dare you!'."

Paul Tubb: "Perhaps some of us who live in the countryside around Swindon are sick and tired of the orange glow that ruins out night skies.

"Given that we've had LED streetlights for a year, Swindon Borough Council are late to the party as ever."

Lee Hallett: "Surely there is a better thing to be spending that money on."

Michelle Forbes: "Ha, the one outside my house was fixed on Monday after not working for three years, and it still flashes every now and then."

Robin Phipps: "Council finds 10 million pounds after a 3.9 per cent council tax hike..."

Toby Robson: "Is orange light pollution somehow more harmful than LED white light pollution then?"

Lee Hardy: "Can't they make them solar powered while they are at it."

Sylvester King: "They can start by replacing the town centre."

Pat Tucker: "How about filling por holes instead."

Derek Wilson: "If they do this and they save sheds loads of money, I am sure our council tax bill will be reduced."

Bill Baggins: "This seems a good idea, it's a lot of money but I think it's well spent.

"I'm not used to saying that about Swindon Borough Council."

PaulD: "Great idea. I hope they recycle all the old lamps, fittings and circuitry being placed too."

Driver Stan: "East Wichel would just like some working lights."

Frank2020: "Well done Swindon Borough Council. For once, some actual long term sensible thinking."

Jeremiah Trimble: "Saving some money is great, but I'll be most pleased at the lower levels of light pollution.

"I wish more people and companies would see the benefits of cutting down on light pollution, but it's a good start at least."

Planning applications submitted to Chichester District Council and the South Downs National Park Authority - Chichester Observer

Following the termination of Windows 7 technical support, South Korean Govt has drafted a strategy to replace Windows 7 dependency with a Linux-based open source OS at full scale.

In May last year, the Korean govt announced the migration from Windows to Linux. Subsequently,the Ministry of Public Administration and Security plans to adopt the Open OS fully for all public institutions and local governments by 2026.

Open OS is an open-source operating system that is free to use by anyone who can also modify or inspect the OS source code available freely.

According to the report by Newsis, the Ministry of National Defense is already using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS-based Harmonica OS and the Postal Service division is going to utilize TMAX OS.

But currently, Open OS lacks some software support that needs to be solved to run the essential productivity applications effectively.

The ministries and agencies are targetting to replace the Windows OS to eliminate the dependencies of certain companies and reduce the high budget for technical support.

The ministry also intends to switch to Desktop as a Service (DaaS) in the later months to support the Open OS in the private cloud using the Internet.

Hence, DaaS will save up to 72 percent of the cost of purchasing an existing PC, along with the reduction in the budget for additional support.
