Falling leaves and a cool breeze remind you that autumn is here, and it's time to turn back the clocks. If that cool breeze blows across your living room, it might also be time to replace the windows.As windows age, the seals deteriorate, creating leaks that allow heat to escape and cold air to enter. Replacing windows can improve the value, energy efficiency, and beauty of a home, both inside and out.Sy Aimen of Sy's Window Systems, Inc. recommends homeowners examine drafty windows in summer or fall and look for leaks. Ailing windows - those under the weather, so to speak - should be replaced.How many windows are replaced depends largely on the buyer's budget.People can replace all the windows in the house, a select few or just one. For maximum comfort and energy efficiency, however, all the windows should be replaced.
Brethren in faith! Fear Allah as He should be feared, for whoever fears Him will receive His protection; whoever turns to Him in repentance will receive His guidance and pleasure; whoever humbles himself in His worship will be honoured by Him and whoever transacts honourably with Him will prosper.
Fellow Muslims! Trials and afflictions are sent to awaken the affected nation to a serious and sincere review of its culture and civilisation, as well as a transparent assessment of its actions. This is because it is civilisation and culture that influence people's behaviour and concerns. Indeed, there is a dire need for this self-examination in order to identify causes of weakness and defect. Monumental challenges and crises awaken nations and constitute major turning points in their history; they rouse them to strive hard for their progress and development.
Imagine walking into a bookstore. The customer who walks in the front door has a very good idea of what to expect from a bookstore. They know it will have books. When they visit an online bookstore, again, they expect it to feature books. The content of an online bookstore has to go a step further, however. It must feature reviews, synopsis and suggested reading lists. If an online bookstore features only titles and prices, the average reader will skip past the site because they cannot find the content they need in order to determine whether or not they want to purchase the book. Content for a site that hosts service providers may provide news, information and suggestions for negotiating contracts, business sales and copyright information. The audience for this type of site, however, would be divided.

'Making history come alive' is not likely to send shivers of anticipation down the spines of many these days, but what HP Labs is up to in the Tower of London right now might make gazing glassily at dusty old relics and ruins a thing of past. HP Labs is trialling its Mediascape technologies at the Tower during the half-term week, and visitors using a GPS- and RF-enabled iPaq handheld can get an insight into the characters and stories that make up the site's history. So what? A bunch of tourists wandering around wearing headphones and listening to a virtual tour guide. It doesn't seem exactly new, does it? But HP Labs' approach is to use technology not to help describe the places and artefacts contained within a site, but rather to enact them. For the Tower of London, this means that as you wander around the grounds, the device is tracked, and as soon as you come close to a point of interest, content is loaded from an SD card and you are given the story of one of the Tower's more famous inhabitants.
