Juliet balcony or Juliette glass balcony is a type of architectural feature that consists of a glass barrier installed on an upper-floor window or door opening, providing a barrier to prevent falls and also allowing for a better view and more natural light.
The name "Juliet balcony" is derived from the famous balcony scene in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" where Juliet appears on a balcony to speak with Romeo. In this scene, the balcony is a small platform projecting from a wall, while a Juliet balcony is typically a railing or glass barrier in front of a window or door.
Juliette glass balconies can be made of various materials, including glass, wrought iron, steel, or aluminum. Glass Juliet balconies have gained popularity in recent years due to their modern and minimalist design and the ability to offer uninterrupted views. They also provide excellent natural light and ventilation, making them an ideal addition to any modern home or building.

Federal and local authorities arrested dozens of employees of New York City's public housing agency in a series of morning raids Tuesday linked to a massive bribery and extortion plot, according to prosecutors.
The raids, coordinated by Homeland Security Investigations and the city's Department of Investigation, netted the most single-day bribery arrests in the history of the Justice Department, according to Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
In all, 70 people were arrested in six states.
ILLEGAL MASTERMINDS OF NYC ROBBERY RING HACKED BANK APPS, RESOLD STOLEN PHONES OVERSEAS
"As we allege, the 70 defendants charged today allegedly demanded over $2 million in bribe money from contractors in exchange for giving out over $13 million of work," he said at a news briefing. "And if the contractors didn't pay up, the defendants wouldn't give them the work."
According to court documents, an unnamed co-conspirator allegedly texted another asking how much of a bribe she should demand: "1k per cool?"
NYPD RELEASES MIGRANT RAID PHOTOS AS SOFT-ON-CRIME LEADERS FACE NATIONAL OUTRAGE
"No problem babe, as long as your are being blessed," Angela Williams, a 64-year-old suspect who is not related to the U.S. attorney, allegedly replied.
The New York City Housing Authority, or NYCHA, is the country's largest public housing system and takes in more than $1.5 billion in federal funding every year, according to the DOJ. 
As a public entity, it is required to bid contracts for most repairs or construction work and go with the lowest bidder. But there is an exemption for essential projects, such as plumbing emergencies or broken windows, that cost under $10,000.
Management at each building was allowed to make "no-bid" deals for those jobs.
All of the suspects were NYCHA superintendents or assistant superintendents when prosecutors say they demanded cuts of between $500 to $2,000 or more per job, ultimately collecting $2 million of taxpayers' money since it came out of the funds contractors received from city and federal agencies.
"That's classic pay-to-play, and this culture of corruption at NYCHA ends today," Williams said.
The kickback scheme was so pervasive it took place in almost a third of NYCHA's properties, he said.
Investigators are asking contractors who may have been victimized by similar demands for pay-to-play bribes to contact the DOJ's whistleblower program at [email protected] or the city's inspector general.
Most of the suspects have been charged with taking bribes and extortion, which carry 10- and 20-year maximum sentences in federal prison, respectively. Several face more charges.

I Am A Cat's Eye — 1: Un malheur ne vient jamais seul
Tumblr media
Summary —
After losing everything and everyone in his life due to the Mysterio incident, Peter Parker begins his new life in college. Unbeknownst to him, the cat that appears at his window after patrol is more than just a flea ridden stray.
[Platonic] Peter Parker x reader.
Tumblr media
Misfortune never comes alone, and Peter Parker knew that better than anyone else.
After Mysterio revealed his identity to billions of people worldwide, consequently putting his friends and family in danger, he understood exactly what this saying meant, and after trying to repair everything, he just brought more misfortune upon himself and ruined everything.
Now he lives in a small, rundown apartment in NYC, trying to reclaim the life he was supposed to leave behind. It was like a dog chasing its own tail, but never succeeding.
Police sirens and incomprehensible chatter fill the city's nocturnal atmosphere. The young hero sits upon a rooftop. Patrol started a long time ago, but surprisingly, there hasn't been any major criminal activity all night long in the oh-so-friendly neighborhood of Queens.
Unusual.
""There isn't anything going on right now. Maybe I should go home earlier," the boy contemplated. "It's a school night. I better go home." He then swung back home. Reaching his window, he noticed something on his windowsill. It was small and furry. He reached to touch the fur ball when it suddenly turned around, revealing a small cat. It looked malnourished and dirty.
“"Hey, little guy," Peter tried to soothe the kitten. It hissed at him. "Calm down! I'm not gonna hurt you, little dude." At that, the cat seemed to calm down a little but still stayed in an attack stance. Once the cat calmed down, Peter tried to pet it again, this time succeeding, but the feline didn't react positively nor negatively to his touch, it seemed too tired and weak to move for now.
“"Stay here, I'll get you something to eat." Peter felt guilty for leaving the poor kitten outside in the cold, but he couldn't risk a flea infestation in his already shabby apartment. Once in the kitchen, he got some leftover chicken from the fridge and went back to feed the cat. When he got into his room, he saw it.
The cat.
The flea-ridden, dirty, malnourished, and sick cat.
In his bed.
He couldn't have left his window open, could he?!
He did, and now he needs new bed sheets.
Tumblr media
The reader's cat and "human" appearance is based off Izutsumi (Dungeon Meshi), but I'll make their descriptions as ambiguous as possible.
I'm writing everything that comes into my head on the go, so this might not be good. 😭
thank you for reading!
CHAPTER 2 — to be added

Any headcanons about how many homes America and Canada have?
Yes! They have many homes.
⭐ America ⭐
In New York City, America spent decades jumping from place to place. As the city grew, he moved from a house in Manhattan, to a Brooklyn apartment, to a flat in Queens, etc. Now, despite his best efforts, his current apartment is just a box with an AC unit sticking out the window. He wishes he could have a nicer place in NYC, but the market is too hot even for him.
In Los Angeles, he managed to snag a gorgeous Santa Monica house in the early Hollywood days before prices exploded into the stratosphere. Just a short walk to the Pacific ocean, he never sold it and it’s worth its weight in gold by now.
His spot in Washington D.C. is the one he most uses; a stately, historical home that would probably be turned into a small museum if he ever decides to sell it (but he never will). Sometimes, the place can get a bit messy, with papers, file folders, and take-out containers scattered about, but he’ll tidy up when company is coming.
A farm in Ohio that has seen better days. In the early 20th century, he used the barn as a workshop to tinker with automobiles and flying machines. As a result, the barn is quite damaged, but America won’t repair it. He thinks the oil stains “add character”.
A lively hotel in Louisiana with a restaurant on the first floor. Yes, he owns the whole thing. It’s been managed by humans for generations within the same family. They cook massive Creole feasts whenever America drops by.
America doesn’t seek solitude often, but when he does, he goes to his mountain home in Colorado.
He stubbornly hangs onto his Texas ranch even though he doesn't raise cattle anymore.
Once he owned a beachfront property in Florida, but sold it after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, his childhood home in Boston caught fire after the Revolution and burnt down. The land it was on is now a popular public park with swing sets, monkey bars, and a huge curly slide. Many local children say it’s their favourite park in the city.
There are many more, of course, but those are some of his standout homes.
🍁 Canada 🍁
Of all his homes, Canada stays at his Ottawa house most often. The backyard is filled with a rainbow of tulips and it’s within cycling distance to Parliament Hill. He keeps several pairs of ice skates for himself and whoever visits during the winter, so they can go skating over the frozen Rideau Canal.
Canada’s Toronto flat is the most modern-looking of his dwellings, but that isn’t saying much. It’s an industrial loft with mismatched furniture still stuck in the 1980s. It really isn’t his favourite place, but he likes the view of the skyline at sunset.
One of his childhood homes is still standing; a humble, stonework Montreal house. It’s been restored by historical societies; fresh paint on the door, a tidy lawn, and black soot swept away. He made an arrangement to lease it as a museum, but has the opportunity to return and stay there whenever he chooses.
There’s a ramshackle log cabin he built himself in Algonquin park, many years before it was designated as parkland. To quote my NedCan fic: “... a stone base decorated in moss. Turn-of-the-century windows and an amber-stained porch pleasantly frame the main door, while the modernized roof and chimney stack create a mishmash of different eras... like a favourite worn blanket; too beloved to be discarded, and so instead is repeatedly patched.”
On the east coast, he has a home in Halifax proper. Sadly, his original was destroyed in the Halifax Explosion and was rebuilt to the standards of the 1920s. He misses his older house, because it was where Scotland would visit during his childhood.
In St. John’s, he has a very colourful building, painted bright red with white window frames and small gardens in both the front and back.
A simple, suburban bungalow in Red Deer, Alberta. Perfect for business and relaxation, because it’s halfway between both Edmonton and Calgary and keeps the Rocky Mountains within reach. Piles of hiking gear are stored in the attic, basement, and the garage. When he can spare the time, he’ll drive out to the Rockies for weeks of camping, climbing, hiking, or skiing.
His British Columbia home is surrounded by old-growth trees.
Overall, Canada tries to have at least one home in each of his provinces and territories. If, at the time of travel, he doesn’t, he'll try to lodge in a wildlife research centre. The scientists, who usually work for the government, don’t mind his presence at all.
Thank you for the ask!! 💜

Solar Glass Inc.: Repair and Replacement of Glass Storefront Doors NYC's Baldwin
It is imperative for private business owners to ensure that their building exudes sophistication and professionalism. In the unlikely event that your storefront is outdated, you are unable to accomplish that. In the unlikely event that your office building hasn't been renovated in ten years or more, consider the following arguments for investing in a new glass storefront. Provide Product Displays with Security
Use all of the space that is available to you if the sale of products is the foundation of your firm. You could be losing out on valuable exhibit space if your storefront windows are outdated. Similarly, glass weakens and becomes less durable with age, creating the perfect environment for burglaries. You can maintain the protection of your product even in the front window by designing a different storefront with safety glass.
Tumblr media
Enhance Business Attraction
In the unlikely event that your glass storefront is outdated, some of the curb appeal that makes your business building appealing has been gone. The new glass will increase appeal, encouraging onlookers to notice your commercial property. That being said, adding another glass storefront will enhance the façade and provide you with the necessary area to enhance your advertising opportunities by utilizing cutting-edge signage and graphics.
Boost Efficiency in Energy Use
If the glass on your storefront is outdated, your building isn't using energy as efficiently as it could. The old glass may be too thin to even consider a barrier against energy absorption — and bad luck — that can result in increased energy costs for heating and cooling. Since windows are responsible for a larger portion of corporate energy loss, installing a new storefront made of tempered and tinted glass will increase the energy efficiency of your company.
Expand Natural Light's Accessibility
You can improve the lighting in your business building with a new glass storefront if it's not as good as you would like. Replacing your windows will let in more natural light without raising your energy costs or requiring you to buy more lighting fixtures.
Reduce Maintenance Time and Costs
You will have to expend more energy on maintenance if your glass is outdated and ancient. This is a result of older glass being more diligently maintained clean. Unfortunately, dirty glass might lead to disaster for your little company. Investing in a new glass storefront will lower your maintenance costs and increase window cleanliness. Engage a cleaning agency for routine maintenance to preserve the elegance of your recently opened business.
Boost the Value of Your Commercial Structure
You should make every effort to improve the appeal of your business property, whether you intend to sell it or are just looking for new tenants. Your property valuation will rise as a result of the noticeable enhancement of your new glass storefront, which will also attract more potential buyers and tenants.
Put a new face on your storefront if you're not happy with the way your Baldwin business building or storefront is now set up and the curb appeal isn't particularly appealing. Please get in contact with Solar Glass Inc. We can discuss the finest options for your needs and add a second glass storefront to your commercial property.
CONTACT US (516) 889-1514 [email protected] Solar Glass Inc, 4030 Austin Boulevard, Island Park, NY 11558-1227 https://solarglassny.com/

Water Damage Tips
Ensure Safety:
Prioritize safety for yourself and others. If the water damage is severe or involves potential electrical hazards, shut off the power supply to affected areas. Avoid walking through standing water if there's any chance of electrical shock.
Identify and Stop the Source:
If the water damage is due to a burst pipe, leaking roof, or other identifiable source, take immediate steps to stop or contain the water. Shut off the water supply if it's from a plumbing issue, and patch up or cover roof leaks if possible.
Document the Damage:
Before beginning any cleanup or repairs, document the extent of the damage for insurance purposes. Take photos or videos of the affected areas and items, including any valuables, electronics, or furniture that have been damaged.
Remove Water and Moisture:
Begin the process of water removal as soon as possible. Use a wet/dry vacuum, buckets, or mops to remove standing water. Open doors and windows to enhance ventilation and help with drying.
Use dehumidifiers and fans to reduce indoor humidity levels and accelerate the drying process. Ensure good airflow throughout the affected areas.
Call Professionals and Insurance:
Depending on the severity of the damage, it's often wise to contact professionals, such as water damage restoration companies or plumbers, to assess and address the situation. They have the expertise and equipment to handle water damage effectively.
Contact your insurance company to report the damage and start the claims process. Provide them with the documentation you collected earlier.

Purpose of Using Power Washers in Nassau, New Windsor, Rockland, Westchester, New Jersey, and NYC
Many vehicle owners pride themselves on driving an immaculately clean vehicle that grabs instant attention. While the car owner pays attention to removing dirt and stains from the vehicle's body, the undercarriage is woefully ignored. Keeping the under part of the vehicle clean is also a part of its maintenance that should not be overlooked. No worries! The vehicle owner does not have to crawl under the vehicle and scrub out the corrosive elements or accumulated dirt and debris from the underside. Instead, making use of an undercarriage cleaner in Brooklyn, Farmingdale, Queens, Danbury, Nassau, and Middletown, NY, that uses a high-pressure washer to remove the adhered dirt and tiny debris meticulously can prove to be a less time-consuming and cost-effective way that serves the purpose ideally.
Spending an hour or two cleaning the undercarriage of the vehicle can be amazingly beneficial for several reasons, namely the following:-
· Improved Maintenance- A cursory cleaning of the undercarriage with dirt and dust remaining behind can be disastrous for the vehicle owner who goes on a long drive. The vehicle's overall condition is affected adversely, even more so when the vehicle goes off the conventional roads. Driving over dusty terrains with tiny rocks and salt clinging to the undercarriage may end in corrosion of the metal parts underneath the vehicle. The condition worsens when water pools on the dirt roads or snow lies thick on the ground. The salt coupled with water may corrode the parts fatally and cause rust to form before long. Such vehicles tend to turn into a scrap of metal when no care is taken to clean the underside
· No Structural Damage- The dirt-laden undercarriage may soon interfere with the vehicle's driving. Forcing the throttle or speeding to overcome the resistance of the contaminants on the undercarriage may result in structural damage. Repairing it can be hugely expensive and will affect the life of the vehicle adversely, too. A simple and thorough cleaning of the undercarriage is not only an essential part of the maintenance, but proper cleaning of the entire vehicle is a must-do
· Increased Value- A vehicle with a factory finish can become old and dusty too quickly for comfort. Therefore, the price of a used car is much less than that of a newly manufactured one. Failing to clean the undercarriage as often as needed can enhance the deprecation rate, too. Thus, cleaning the entire vehicle thoroughly without skimping this essential task is important. One does not have to labor hard and waste too much time on the underside. Using an automated washing service regularly can do wonders to keep the value of the vehicle intact
· Aesthetics- Sure, the body of the car and its glass windows are visible to pedestrians and others on the road. Poor underside maintenance may cause the dirt and grime to increase and partially cover the car's body. This affects the appearance of the vehicle that may be talked about for the wrong reasons
Scrubbing the dirt and pulling at the entrenched debris may be futile for individuals attempting to clean the driveways, garages, and exterior of their residences. Using power washers in Nassau, New Windsor, Rockland, Westchester, New Jersey, and NYC can make cleaning easy and cost-effective without being time-consuming either.

5 Things to Consider Before Installing a Heat Pump in Your Home
Heat pumps have gained popularity in both warm and cold climates for their energy-efficient and versatile heating and cooling capabilities. 
If you’re contemplating installing a heat pump in your home, there are several essential considerations to keep in mind. This guide will walk you through the five key factors to ponder before making the decision, with a focus on heating repair in New York.
Climate and Heating Needs
One of the primary considerations before installing a heat pump is the climate in which you reside and your specific heating needs. Heat pumps are highly efficient at providing both heating and cooling, but their performance can vary based on temperature extremes.
Mild Climates: Heat pumps excel in regions with mild winters and warm summers. If you live in such an area, a heat pump can provide efficient year-round comfort.
Cold Climates: In colder regions like New York, air-source heat pumps may still be effective. However, their efficiency can drop in extreme cold, so you might need a supplementary heating source, like a furnace or electric resistance heating, for the coldest days.
Consider consulting with HVAC professionals familiar with air conditioner installation in NYC to determine the best heat pump solution for your climate and heating needs.
Type of Heat Pump
Heat pumps come in different types, including air-source, ground-source (geothermal), and ductless mini-split systems. Each has its own set of advantages and considerations:
Air-Source Heat Pumps: These are the most common and cost-effective type of heat pump. They can easily extract heat from outdoor air and can provide both heating and cooling. However, their efficiency can be affected by extreme temperatures.
Geothermal Heat Pumps: Ground-source or geothermal heat pumps are highly efficient but come with a higher upfront cost. They use the stable temperature of the ground to exchange heat, making them suitable for all climates.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems: These systems are ideal for homes without ductwork. They provide zoning and can be more efficient because they don’t suffer from duct losses. However, they may be pricier upfront.
Sizing the Heat Pump
Selecting the right size for your heat pump is crucial for efficiency and comfort. An undersized heat pump will struggle to heat or cool your home adequately, while an oversized unit can cycle on and off too frequently, leading to reduced efficiency and comfort. Factors that affect sizing include:
Square Footage: The size of your home is a primary factor in determining the heat pump’s capacity.
Insulation: The quality and level of insulation in your home affect the amount of heating and cooling required. Well-insulated homes may need a smaller heat pump.
Windows and Doors: The number and quality of windows and doors can impact heat gain and loss, affecting the heat pump size.
Local Climate: Consider your specific climate, as heat pump performance varies in extreme conditions.
Professional Assessment: It’s advisable to have a professional HVAC technician assess your home’s needs and recommend the right-sized unit.
Ductwork and Distribution
If you already have ductwork in your home, it can be used with a traditional central heat pump system. However, you should ensure that your ducts are in good condition, appropriately sized, and adequately insulated to minimize heat loss. If ductwork modifications are necessary, budget for these additional costs.
For homes without ductwork, consider ductless mini-split systems, which don’t require extensive duct installations and provide zoning capabilities. They can be an excellent option for improved energy efficiency and comfort.
Conclusion
Before investing in a heat pump for your home, carefully consider the climate, your specific heating needs, the type of heat pump, sizing requirements, ductwork, and the importance of professional installation. Choosing the right heat pump and having it installed correctly is essential to enjoy the energy-efficient heating and cooling benefits of this versatile system.
For the best results and peace of mind, consider working with a reputable HVAC company like Airplex Mechanical. Their expertise ensures that your heat pump is selected, installed, and maintained to meet your comfort and efficiency needs. Make an informed decision to stay comfortable year-round while reducing your energy consumption and costs.
