When it comes to renovating a home, homeowners and builders alike should be aware of current home renovations that are not only visually pleasing, but also add a level of functionality that makes living in the residence more practical, economical, and, of course, enjoyable. The following home renovation ideas will provide years of comfort for the family as well as integrate beautifully with the homeowner’s aesthetic. Not only that, but they are on trend to help the homeowner when it comes time to sell the home, increasing its value as well as accelerating the time it takes to complete the sale.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has experienced the stress relief and sheer luxury of an at-home steam shower that this amenity topped Zillow’s list as the most desirable of home additions. MrSteam’s steam showers provide precisely the type of form-and-function renovation that not only contributes to a family’s well-being and improved lifestyle, including health and beauty benefits, but is also economical and particularly eco-friendly. See The Benefits of Steam Bathing to learn more – and to understand why Zillow’s survey showed that adding “steam shower” to their listing descriptions contributed to earning sellers a 29 percent higher sales price than listings that didn’t include it.
This is an especially attractive renovation for families that either need to store excess paraphernalia – whether that be tools, patio furniture, holiday supplies, or boxes of old toys and clothing – or who want a space outside of the house itself to be creative in some artistic or practical way. These additions can help keep clutter out of the living portions of the home, while also carving out a private space for hobbyists. NAHB’s 2017 Home Buyer’s report claims that 86% of buyers are attracted by this feature, while Zillow claimed that it helped net sellers a 24 percent premium for homes priced in the middle segment of the market.
Another potential use of a detached tiny house – or a separate apartment in the home itself – is a dedicated place for elderly relatives to live. According to Zillow, allowing for this possibility raised the home price by 28%. Living with an aging relative can be stressful, particularly if there is nowhere for that individual to escape the hubbub of a growing family. Providing separate quarters can give the relative a greater sense of dignity and privacy, while allowing homeowners to keep an eye on their health and well-being, and also promote the benefits of a multi-generational family.
Like the shed/garage/studio, adding a laundry room into your home is hugely helpful in controlling clutter in the rest of the house. This feature topped NAHB’s list of desirable additions, with a whopping 92% of home buyers finding it of value. It is likely even more attractive these days, with the popularity of Marie Kondo’s Tidying Up Netflix series demonstrating how we all should be folding our clothes. The easiest and most affordable place to put a laundry room is the basement, since the utility lines are already there. But if you can renovate your home to place a laundry room on the bedroom level, that’s considered even more desirable.
Closet systems can be used to organize the above laundry room, and certainly help homeowners keep their personal closets in order. By making it easy to find everything and to put it away simply and easily, there is an appreciable improvement in the entire house’s aesthetic. Zillow notes that listing a home with the term “open shelving” can speed up a property sale by 14 days.
With our focus on form and function, it’s no surprise that energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and windows rate high on the home buyer’s radar. According to RealEstate.com, solar panels brought sellers an extra 40% over other entry-level home listings, while also noting that a growing number of buyers are looking for home energy features. NAHB claims 90% of home buyers want these features, especially Energy Star rated windows and appliances. After all, these windows can cut heating and cooling costs by 12%, while energy-efficient appliances can save homeowners $45 or more on their utility bills.
Another energy-efficient addition is a ceiling fan, which reduces cooling costs during the hot months when used in concert with an air conditioner. Once the desired temperature is reached and the fan switched on, Energy.gov says that the thermostat can be raised by four degrees without sacrificing comfort. And if the temperature is temperate enough, you may not even need that air conditioner at all.
According to Realtor.com, a fire pit can increase the price of your home by 25% - a great choice for even the smallest of yards. Exterior lighting, including motion sensors, spotlights, and walkway lights, is another outdoor draw, with about 92% of home buyers finding it an attractive addition. This is a true form-and-function amenity and adds to the security of your home as well. Providing an attractive patio is popular among current and potential homebuyers – as entertaining outdoors is always a coveted activity. Per NAHB, 82% of home buyers want this feature when they’re searching out a new home.
For top-range homes, Zillow points to listings that include sub-zero fridges as bringing in a 38% premium. Other exclusive kitchen amenities include pizza ovens, multifunctional large islands, farmhouse or extra-large sinks, and eat-in kitchens. The latter, a huge convenience for families with small children, was considered desirable by 82% of buyers – adding to a family’s lifestyle as it becomes the most natural place to gather.
Carpeting, a sign of indulgence several decades back, is considered a nuisance now – hard to clean and capturing odors that are difficult to dispel. Instead, homes with hardwood or luxury vinyl flooring are viewed as both aesthetically pleasing as well as much more durable and easier to care for. NAHB’s survey noted that 87% of buyers preferred hardwood floors.
By considering both the form and function of these and other popular features, today’s homeowner not only enjoys years of personal comfort and aesthetic pleasure but is well positioned when it comes time to sell the property. And we at MrSteam are delighted – though not surprised – to note that steam showers are one of the most effective sales terms in property listings today!

The UK-based band Pirates of Panama chatted with Digital Journal about their new music, their forthcoming EP, as well as their musical influences.
On their song "The Chase," they said, "It started out with two chords played back and forth which really got our feet stomping which made us think this can become something! We then added in the guitar intro part and jammed it out, the whole song came together in just a few hours. The lyrics are about us chasing our dreams and getting out of the rut we were in at the time."
They noted that their song "Been There Before" sounded quite a bit different at first. "We had a cool drum intro and lots of layers building up but we decided to strip it back for the record to head straight into the song! The original guitar riff has stayed the same since day one! The idea was something that I've ( Ed ) played around with for years and eventually thought this could really be something! We like to mix this track up when we play live and extend the intro and have a bit of fun with the arrangements."
On their music inspirations, they said, "We can’t pin point one single source of inspiration for our music. It usually just comes naturally. Of course we have our influences but we are always taking inspiration from really bizarre sources such as things we read online or a story we've been told at the pub."
Regarding the origin of their band's name, they said, "The name came about after a good few days of throwing ideas around until we got in from a night out and started talking about how cool pirates were and then suddenly we came up with Pirates of (blank). Then, we all had a think and came up with Panama! The next morning we all said Pirates Of Panama, and then the name was born."
Their future plans including releasing their new EP, as well as continuing to your across America and Europe. "We are working on some cool shows which will be announced soon," they revealed.
On the digital transformation of the music industry, they said, "Live streaming has become a really big thing across all platforms now and has really blown up, I remember when we started using twitcam a while ago and how much hassle it was to share all the links and get people to visit the page, now with Facebook, you can instantly stream. It's crazy! This has really helped artists to interact with their fans."
Regarding their daily use of technology, they said, "We usually use our Smart phones every single day for most aspects of the band. From social media posting to photos and laying down acoustic demos or vocals. No matter where we are we can always grab our phones and write lyrics or record quick ideas. It's crazy that using just our phones we can record ideas, Skype our team, do live broadcasts and even create artwork for shows."
For their fans, they said, "Thank you to all you pirates out there old and new for the continued support. We are working hard to produce new music for you guys and sorting out shows. Can't wait to see you on the road soon."

The Main Theme from the soundtrack of the game Freedom Fighters - Composed by Jesper Kyd.

I haven't actually listened to much from Foo Fighters, but that theme song sounds interesting.
A bit stuck on Linkin Park right now listening to Guilty All the Same.

This has to be the most incredible performance of that song to date.
Agreed. It's funny because I like pretty much every version they've done of it except for the original.
And a good song above as well.
Discovered it through none other than youtube recommendations.
I love the keyboard/synth intensive style that was popular at the time.
I'm listening to some James Durbin right now. I don't really like his new album that much, but as an artist, I think he's hugely underrated. He has some very serious raw talent that's hard to find in "new" rock artists.
I'm really liking this guy, I loved his guest verses in "La La La" by Naughty Boy, and "Latch" by Disclosure, and he's pretty good solo too.

Steve Hendren, President of Galvin Green USA, joined the team in 2017 and facilitated the opening of Galvin Green’s new headquarters in Carlsbad, California. Boasting more than 15 years of industry experience, Hendren began his career as a Regional Manager with Worldwide Golf Enterprises, eventually joining Nike Golf as a Regional Sales Director and Director of Strategic Accounts. Among his responsibilities, Hendren managed key accounts in golf and sporting goods and directed a sales team.
I started playing golf when I was 12 years old. My parents were members at a tennis club in Orange County, CA that had a 9-hole executive course and driving range. They put me into a junior camp one summer, and I immediately fell in love with the game. My mom would drop my childhood best friend and I off at the course and we would go out and play as many holes as we could before they had to pick us up. I played as often as I could through high school with that same childhood friend, and my father, who picked up the game shortly after I did.
I played college baseball at West Virginia University, which limited the amount of time I had to play golf. Right after graduation, a few days after moving back home to Southern California, I was at Roger Dunn Golf Shop in Santa Ana and decided to fill out an application, thinking it would be fun to work there until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. I was hired as a cashier but fell in love with the industry and the company and spent the next 10 years there, the last five of which I was a regional manager in Northern California and Hawaii. I was fortunate to be involved in nearly every aspect of the business and got to learn a lot about the industry and business in general.
After 10 years, I was approached about an opportunity with Nike Golf. I spent seven years with them as a sales rep, regional sales director, and strategic account director, learning the differences in working for a relatively small, privately owned company and a multi-national corporation. We went through several changes during my tenure there, which helped me understand the uniqueness of the golf industry and how valuable it is to be authentic to the game.
This past December, I was given the opportunity to lead the U.S. operation for Galvin Green. After meeting the leadership team in Sweden, getting to know the products, the people, and the culture, it was an easy and exciting decision to make the move. Galvin Green is a pure golf brand, with a 27-year history in the golf business and a strong loyal consumer base. We’re rooted in golf and our brand vision is clear, to be the leading premium performance brand in golf.
What's your assessment of the consumer golf market for 2019?
For Galvin Green, it’s been great. I know there are challenges with the weather throughout parts of the country, but we’ve been fortunate to experience significant growth in new doors and with our existing partnerships. We’re very optimistic for the remainder of the year, as we approach the heart of the golf season.
What's the key distinguishing item between Galvin Green and your competitors?
It’s difficult to identify 1 item that distinguishes us from the competition. We’ve earned the reputation for producing the best outerwear in golf, and in that category, we’re launching an innovation this year that could change how golfers perceive playing in the rain. Our new Ashton Gore-Tex ShakeDry jacket is the lightest Gore-Tex jacket we’ve ever made. It feels and performs like you’re not wearing anything. It’s truly revolutionary in the world of golf outerwear.
European owned apparel companies have been gaining significant traction in the American market place over the last several years. Why do you think that is?
While there are several similarities between some of the European golf clothing companies, there are also significant differences. The perception of quality and fit is a contributing factor, but we place great value on performance and comfort. We’re a pure golf brand, and we’re committed to creating products that help golfers perform their best on the course. We use the best materials and believe that the details make the products.We have a saying that “We Never Compromise”, and we take that approach with everything we do.
Given that dynamic -- how is Galvin Green shaping its growing influence in the States?
Products and partnerships. For our entire 29-year history, we’ve been focused on making premium products for serious golfers. In the US, we’ve simply embraced the brand reputation for quality and performance and have forged partnerships with many of the best golf facilities across the country. By focusing our distribution on only the best golf, we’re able to stay focused on our core consumer, and grow our reputation as one of the best performance apparel brands in golf.
A number of past successful apparel companies have often sought to expand their profile and with that comes the risk of stifling creative innovations. What's the balancing point between the two elements and can companies truly expand growth without becoming stale and predictable?
We’re a different company than virtually everyone else in the golf apparel business. For starters, we’re a golf brand, and we’ve always been a golf brand. We don’t make ski gear, or baseball gloves. For nearly 30 years, we’ve remained focused on golf, and will continue to be. What motivates us is to be the best, not the biggest. If you’ve had the chance to see the new Ashton jacket we’re launching, you’d agree that we’re anything but stale or predictable. We continually lead with new innovations and technologies that help golfers perform their best.
When Galvin Green is considering adding new items to the line -- what's the key determination in putting that into motion?
We launch new products when there’s a consumer need, and when we can make them better than both the competition and our own products in the marketplace. We don’t bring new products to market until we’re confident they’re the best. That’s what drives our brand strategy, and ultimately strengthens our reputation for creating best-in-class products.
Plenty of companies in the apparel category tout the fashion side and minimize the durability dimension. How does Galvin Green walk this line in ensuring what it produces achieves both aims?
Galvin Green has always embraced the fashion side with bold designs and color. In the early years, we battled the critics that questioned whether we could sell a bright colored rain suit. We were the first company to produce a Gore-Tex golf jacket in a color other than navy or black. What stands out most with our consumers though, is our commitment to performance and durability. There’s no better way to prove it than with our lifetime waterproof guarantee on our Gore-Tex products. I don’t know of any other brand in golf that offers a lifetime guarantee. That really illustrates our commitment to both quality and performance.
Is usage on the professional golf tours an essential component in brand visibility and credibility?
It can be. There are several brands out there that are offering huge endorsement deals. Our ambassadors on the PGA and worldwide tours, partner with us because they value the performance of the products and trust that we’ll help them perform at their best. We’re extremely fortunate and proud to work with athletes like Troy Merritt, Martin Laird, and Ben Silverman, who choose to partner with us for these reasons.
What's the split between men's and women's business for the company and how do the genders differ in what appeals to them?
The split varies slightly by region, but women’s currently accounts for just under 20% of our global business, but it’s growing and will continue to be a key opportunity for us. I would attribute the growth in our women’s business to the commitment we’ve made to quality, performance, and style. We take the same approach to quality and materials but utilize designs and style that ensure performance and confidence on the course. Some of the best women’s golfers in the world partner with us on tour, and there’s a growing demand with our retail partners as well.
There's little question Millennials are becoming more and more of a powerful voice in the golf industry and beyond. What approaches is Galvin Green taking to attract them, while at the same time, still appealing to those from earlier generations?
We’ve expanded on how we communicate with the consumer. Obviously social media has become a greater part of how we tell our story. At the same time, we work closer than ever with our retail partners to ensure our story is being told to our loyal consumers and golfers that are just getting to know the brand. We’ve also expanded our product line to include new designs and details to attract a younger and edgier consumer.
PING has unveiled its new performance driven 2019 Spring / Summer men’s apparel range.

 Plenty of companies in the apparel category tout the fashion side and minimize the durability dimension . How does Galvin Green walk this line in ensuring what it produces achieves both aims ?
 Galvin Green has always embraced the fashion side with bold designs and color . In the early years , we battled the critics that questioned whether we could sell a bright colored rain suit . We were the first company to produce a Gore - Tex golf jacket in a color other than navy or black . What stands out most with our consumers though , is our commitment to performance and durability . There ’s no better way to prove it than with our lifetime waterproof guarantee on our Gore - Tex products . I do n’t know of any other brand in golf that offers a lifetime guarantee . That really illustrates our commitment to both quality and performance .
 Is usage on the professional golf tours an essential component in brand visibility and credibility ?
 It can be . There are several brands out there that are offering huge endorsement deals . Our ambassadors on the PGA and worldwide tours , partner with us because they value the performance of the products and trust that we ’ll help them perform at their best . We ’re extremely fortunate and proud to work with athletes like Troy Merritt , Martin Laird , and Ben Silverman , who choose to partner with us for these reasons .
 What 's the split between men 's and women 's business for the company and how do the genders differ in what appeals to them ?
 The split varies slightly by region , but women ’s currently accounts for just under 20 % of our global business , but it ’s growing and will continue to be a key opportunity for us . I would attribute the growth in our women ’s business to the commitment we ’ve made to quality , performance , and style . We take the same approach to quality and materials but utilize designs and style that ensure performance and confidence on the course . Some of the best women ’s golfers in the world partner with us on tour , and there ’s a growing demand with our retail partners as well .
 There 's little question Millennials are becoming more and more of a powerful voice in the golf industry and beyond . What approaches is Galvin Green taking to attract them , while at the same time , still appealing to those from earlier generations ?
 We ’ve expanded on how we communicate with the consumer . Obviously social media has become a greater part of how we tell our story . At the same time , we work closer than ever with our retail partners to ensure our story is being told to our loyal consumers and golfers that are just getting to know the brand . We ’ve also expanded our product line to include new designs and details to attract a younger and edgier consumer .

Awesome. This will be nice.
JdeB, this needs to be run on all the standard library files. I ran it on Date.au3 just to see and I got two results still remaining.
Great .. thats save a lot of time searching for them !!!
I am only wondering how i should implement this is SciTE since lots of people don't predefine their vars and its now either on or off.
Could it be done in a way that au3check only checks if the Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) is defined in the script ?
Scanned all UDF libs, fixed and submitted to Jon.
1. Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) must be on top of the file, as au3check works lineary through the file (does not follow execution sequence). Incidently, most people does put these statements on top (as is recomended and most practical).
2. Both arguments to Opt() must be literals, i.e. "MustDeclareVars" and 0 or 1. If variables are used, the Opt statement will be ignored by Au3Check.
If I do it, it will do declaration checking by default if it sees an Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) statement.
I would think that both will be commonly used in the way you describe by people using AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) or Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1).
It would really make live alot easier with SciTE Ctrl+F5 but also for the CompileAU3 wrapper!
- enable/disable variable declaration check on Opt/AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1/0).
See notes in previous post on the minor limitations.
For those very fast ones, like JdeB, download 1.22 again. I found that I didn't check loop variables used in the For-Next structure. (should have increased version...).
- fixed: didn't check declaration of counter var in For-loop. (1.22 did this, but wrongly).
Note that it also issues a warning if a For-loop uses a global counter within a function!
I made a library (in the sample, Test_include2.au3) that includes string resources, declared as Global Const (see Test_Resources.au3).
Then I made a little prog that includes this library AND also uses the already defined resources file (here Test_include.au3).
I know this sample is not the best, but let's imagine you use a large and centralized string resources file or libraries.
Global Const $sTEST = "sTEST included!"
Global Const $sANOTHER_STRING = "sANOTHER_STRING included!"
Process completed, Exit Code 2.
You can easily notice where the pb is: the inclusion test for AU3Check seems to be related to the litteral path as written in the include directive : .\Test_resources.au3.
This is annoying if you work with different projects and directories as (for instance) in the main script it seems natural to write a local path to include file (<mylib.au3>) but in others you'll have to write a relative path (<..\mainscriptdir\mylib.au3>).
Tylo, is there something you can do for this?
Thanks a lot for what you've already done: your tool is a great one, so usefull to me!
I guess there is. I need a Win32 function GetAbsolutePath(currentDir, relativePath) or GetCanonicalPath() or something. I don't know whether there is one, but it can be written - I think even I saw someone write such a func in autoit (but I need it in C++).
I suppose the inclusion is done correct in AutoIt, so I could peek the source how the include file is converted to an absolute path there, but I haven't got the time right now. If someone knows how, I could fix it.
Yes, indeed, it's correctely done by AutoIt, it uses a GetFullPathName function (from AutoIt v3.0.102 source code).
- Fixed #include-once for relative paths.
- Obeys that For-loop declares counter (Local in funcs, Global outside).
Updated .dat file for Au3Check 1.26. Thanks Valik.
I think I discovered a bug.
C:\scripts\MyUDFs.au3(1186,43) : ERROR: Opt() called with illegal argument 1: "RunErrorsFatal"
C:\scripts\MyUDFs.au3(1199,39) : ERROR: Opt() called with illegal argument 1: "RunErrorsFatal"
I have tested this function several times and AutoIt never reported an error.
It's just that your Au3Check.dat file isn't updated. The keywords in that file starting with % define a function, the parameter and the valid text strings that may appear there.
This happens in Scite only. More than a month ago I put the contents of the ZIP in another folder. I just ran it from there and it said 0 errors, 0 warnings.
What I discovered: JdeB's installation package has 2 Au3Check.dat files.
One is for the official AutoIt release and the other one is for beta releases.
After I added the line, I still get those errors.
So the problem probably lies in the DAT file.
I just started WinMerge to check differences.
I get this strange message that says something about line endings.
I answered No and copied the RunErrorsFatal line to the Scite DAT file and after saving it worked.
@JPM, could you pls fix this for me in your version ?
Will publish an update soon.
Sets whether AutoIt provides any child processes with a handle redirecting its standard console error output, which can then be read by the StderrRead() function.
Sets whether AutoIt provides any child processes with a handle redirecting its standard console input, which can then be written to by the StdinWrite() function.
Sets whether AutoIt provides any child processes with a handle redirecting its standard console output, which can then be read by the StdoutRead() function.
I've attached a new version of Au3Check from tylo.
The included DAT file is current up to JPM's 3.1.0.15-O release.
Edit: Removed attachment. Newer releases have been made by tylo.

If you have not heard that Skrillex is teasing a brand new album then you’re surely residing below a fairly sizable rock. Skrillex has began to as soon as once more launch tracks below his personal title after producing tunes for different artists for the previous two years.
So far this 12 months we have now heard his collaboration with JOYRYDE ‘AGAIN WIDA’, in addition to his remix of Travis Scott’s ‘Sicko Mode’. Both tracks have been astoundingly properly obtained amongst followers. While Skrillex’s ‘Sicko Mode’ remix did catch a little bit of flack for being cookie cutter, many have been fairly completely satisfied to only have the person as soon as once more releasing his personal music.
Yesterday, followers observed that Skrillex’s web site was present process some adjustments. Specifically, the location was changed with a purple background together with his daring crimson emblem within the middle.
As most followers are conscious of – when digital adjustments happen, detectives get began. Not solely did the fellows on /r/Skrillex discover a countdown clock which has since been eliminated, but in addition Skrillex’s Shopify login web page. The query that continues to be is whether or not this web site replace is for Skrillex’s new album, or if it simply alerts a brand new merch launch simply earlier than the vacations.

Join IBM November 1 at 21st Cloud Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, and learn how IBM Watson can bring cognitive services and AI to intelligent, unmanned systems.
In this session we will build a chatbot powered by IBM Watson, connect it to third-party APIs, and share best practices of chatbots co-existing with humans.
Cognitive analysis impacts today's systems with unparalleled ability that were previously available only to manned, back-end operations. Thanks to cloud processing, IBM Watson can bring cognitive services and AI to intelligent, unmanned systems. Imagine a robot vacuum that becomes your personal assistant that knows everything and can respond to your emotions and verbal commands!
This session will demonstrate how robots implemented with IBM Watson cognitive services can interact verbally with people and respond to their emotions and demonstrate the practicalities of joining IoT-robotics with cloud processing and a mobile platform for communications.
Chatbots are rapidly gaining acceptance and becoming the norm for all kinds of customer interactions. In this developer journey, you will create a Watson Conversation-based chatbot that enables you to use an Investment Portfolio service to query portfolios and associated holdings. You'll use a Simulated Instrument Analytics service to compute analytics on securities under a given scenario and will learn how to swap between a standard web interface and a Twilio interface.

Not all groups in Steve Shields book should be considered denominations. In our next conversation, we’ll talk about some of these subgroups with official endorsement of the LDS Church, such as Affirmation and the Genesis Group.
Steve: Affirmation is a para-church organization. It provides a church-oriented fellowship for LGBTQ people who are not often welcomed in the standard ward and most of them are LDS folks in Affirmation. But, they’re providing a ministry that is, dare I say it? Tangential to the LDS Church. So, I consider that an expression.
GT: Would it be like the Genesis Group?
GT: Whereas the Genesis [Group] was [fully supported by the church], right?
Steve: Yeah, they were. Right.
GT: Just for people who may not know what Genesis Group is, I know we do. But can you describe Genesis Group?
Steve: I probably don’t know very much about it. It was before blacks were allowed to be ordained and it was a ministry group for black LDS Church members, their families and friends. They could be members of the church and it was a support. It was supported by the church, mostly here in the Salt Lake area, I think. Darius Gray, who is well-known in Mormon thought circles, was one of the key people, as I remember.
GT: Yeah, he was one of the original counselors and he went on to become President later. He’s a great guy.
Steve: So that was an important ministry in the era of civil rights upset in the United States. Ultimately then in 1978, when full ordination was finally permitted for all.
