Another Cheap solution … 3 of them parallel...
How many hours can you record on your 6d with the ML?
Where can I buy the components.
Have you built it yourself or can it be bought as a whole?
For me, the perfect solution to this problem was a printout of the finished housing layout and the purchase of 40 batteries at 2500 mAh each. Well and their connections.
Hello ibrahim, Sorry to hear about your batteries. Bummer. Here is a link to a product I use with my Canon 7D, and T3i: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1100255-REG/lanparte_pb_600_e6_e6_portable_battery_with.html I have had no issues in the past two years of using these power banks. The product in the link provided works for the 5d Mark III as well - Paul
I didn't find 7.5 Volt power adapter in local stores, I have AC to DC adapter with 9 Volt (actual output 9.25 V) 1.5A , I used three diodes to lower the voltage to 8.25 from 9.25, after I made the dummy battery and all related work (soldering, etc..) and powering on the camera, that gave me "Change Battery Pack" message with empty battery icon, So I removed one diode and it now the voltage was ~8.55, that made the camera boots with yellow battery indicator, then I removed one more diode --> this gave ~ 8.90 Volt, now the camera showed fully charged battery icon.I can coniform 9 Volt works fine on 700D.
But has nothing to do with the topic of power banks, does it?
I bought my last dummy adapter for less than 5 € in China..
Bilal,Commercially available low-cost adapters have a pretty high internal resistance resulting in a serious voltage drop under load. You need a steady 7,4V source with a very small internal resistance and at least 2A consumption to avoid the "low battery" warning. This performance is readily achieved with LiIon batteries but is a challenge for power adapters. If your camera works fine with 8,9V you shouldn't worry that something can go wrong. This voltage will drop significantly under load. Just monitor the camera internal temperature when recording longer clips. If it gets too high, camera will shut down and you can add one diode. If it is normal and does not overheat, just leave it as it is. If something overheats or burns out, it will be the power adapter and not the camera.I also plan to build a DIY external power supply for my EOS-M but instead of using bulky and heavy power adapters I will try connecting two powerful LiIon cells, (at least 5x the current capacity of the LPE-12 battery) in series for a stable 7.4V source. These cells are pretty compact and not too expensive. My concern is much more the smart charger that I will have to build to protect the cells when charging. I'll check and see if I can find 3,7V cells with built in overcharge protection circuits inside. If someone has used such cells, please share your experience here.

Short Answer: Welcome to Syria
"I made more tests yesterday, I think 8.90 Volt made the camera overheats quicker than usual, I re-added one diode to drop voltage to ~8.55 and that was fine and it doesn't overheat quickly it was normal,
Could you please measure the exact voltage in this 8.55V scenario under load,
If you can find a powerbank with adjustable output voltage (7.5 - 8V) and 2A output capability, that would be the ideal solution - powerful, compact and no casing required.
If the step-up converter sticks out of the powerbank attached only to the USB connector,
it will break very easily, especially if you move the camera around.
How much current does your 6D draw while video recording with Global draw ONthis adapter also prevents the power bank from being switched off in standby?
Really?I never notice this on my 6D. If I increase voltage, the current goes down. How du you messure?
Bilal, Could you please measure the exact voltage in this 8.55V scenario under load, e. g. while recording a long MLV clip, and see if it drops to a lower value with recording time? What is the current that the camera draws in this case, with Life view on?

Located in the historic center of Montpellier there is a hotel where they perfectly combined design with elegant architecture that is typically in France. Hotel Baudon De Mauny is situated in an 18th century townhouse in the pedestrian zone of Montpellier. You can call this the perfect mix between a boutique hotel and a bed & breakfast. If you are planning a visit to Montpellier read more about the city here. Let us explain why staying in this hotel will be the highlight of your visit.
Where ultra-modern design meets classic architecture
The building has been in the family for many generations but always served as a private estate. The current owners, Alain & Nathalie de Bordas, changed that by opening their doors for you. They have a good vision on how they want to show of this impressive building. Nathalie is an interior designer who combined ultra-modern design with classic architecture. The building dates back from the 18the century and the rooms are spacious with high ceilings. They wanted to preserve the classic features of the building but blend it with modern design. The furniture is from state-of-the-art designers and is different in every room. In 2008 the renovations started to create a unique atmosphere where past meets present. Let us take a look at the wonderful rooms they have to offer.
Deluxe themed rooms and suites
With just 8 rooms you can perfectly unwind after a busy day in Montpellier. Did we mention that every room is completely different? There is even a room with flamingos on the wall. We loved the room diary where you can write a little note for the next client. We stayed in the deluxe room that is equipped with a rain shower and organic cosmetics. We entered into a wood-clad cocoon of calm and serenity featuring the subtlest of lighting. Before creating the rooms, they envision what kind of people are going to stay there. Their clients look for detail and expect nothing but the best and that is reflected in all the rooms. Even the breakfast is of a high standard.
Breakfast at Baudon De Mauny
You can enjoy your breakfast in the 14th-century conservatory between 8 and 10.30 am. Which was once a dark courtyard is now a chic and modern breakfast area. You can select what you would like to have for breakfast or you can enjoy from the buffet. If enough people are having breakfast they only offer the buffet.
If you are not convinced just let us tell you that a lot of architects, designers and writers choose this hotel as their spot to discover Montpellier. When you take a look in the guest diary in the room you might find some very well known people. For reservations click here.

REVIEW: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Dear Mr. Cline,
2003 2011 novel, Ready Player One, was aptly described by USA Today as "Willy Wonka meets The Matrix." Much like Roald Dahl's classic children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ready Player One begins with an impoverished boy obsessed with a worldwide contest.
Wade Watts loves the OASIS, a virtual reality universe in which players can teleport or travel by spaceship to different VR planets, each with a different, fun world on its surface.
Now OASIS creator James Halliday has crafted a hunt for an "Easter egg" (or rather, something akin to a video game Easter egg) involving three keys (copper, jade, and crystal) to three gates. Finding each key and entering each gate requires an encyclopedic knowledge of the 1980s pop culture Halliday loved.
I say loved, because Halliday, a multi-billionaire, is dead, and has left his vast fortune and his shares in Gregarious Simulation Systems, the company that owns the OASIS, to the person who obtains all three keys, enters the three gates, and ultimately beats his or her competitors to the Easter egg.
While some contestants try to game the game by forming "clans" that ally together to seek the clues and split the winnings, others are individual egg hunters, or "gunters." A corporation named IOI is also after the prize.
Wade Watts is a gunter, as well as an eighteen-year-old kid living in a trailer stack (trailers are stacked atop one another). The trailer where Wade and fourteen others sleep is owned by his abusive aunt, but Wade spends most of his time in his hideaway, where he logs on to the OASIS and uses it to go to school, as well as to research the egg hunt.
Earth is a bleak place and Wade is far from the only person to use the OASIS to escape it—indeed, most of the population is addicted to the OASIS. But unlike his peers, Wade is mostly stuck on one planet within the OASIS—Ludus, the world on which his school is located. Travel within the OASIS costs money, and Wade has only the limited funds he obtains from repairing old computers. So even within the OASIS, the odds are against Wade's success.
And yet, as Wade's first person, past tense narration tells us very early on, Wade is the first person to, five years after the egg hunt and the first clue were announced, obtain the copper key, and along with it, the second of the several clues which will ultimately lead one lucky person to Halliday's Easter egg and the winnings.
As the story begins, Wade, aka Parzival (that is the name of his avatar), has just one friend, whom he knows only by the avatar Aech. Aech and Wade are both dedicated gunters and they play eighties videogames together and polish their other gunting skills on each other, though neither knows the other's real name.
Wade crushes on Art3mis, the avatar of a blogger he really likes. When Wade, as Parzival, works out the clue to the location of the copper key, he discovers that Art3mis has already beaten him there; she just hasn't worked out how to pass the challenge and obtain the key.
Wade gets to that step ahead of her, but she's right behind—as are Aech and two Japanese players known to Wade only by their avatars, Daito and Shoto. Breathing down the five contestants' necks is Innovative Online Industries, a corporation so ruthless it will stop at nothing to obtain the key.
IOI gives the clues to the thousand plus employees in their humorously named (there is a lot of humor in this book) Oology division. When, despite the unfair advantage this gives them, Wade still beats them to the copper key, they offer him a position. He refuses in no uncertain terms; IOI responds with an attempt on his life.
After surviving IOI's attempt to kill him, Wade acts quickly to warn his fellow competitors and then lies low right in IOI's backyard. He then begins an online romance with Art3mis, whom he has never met in person. When he falls behind in the game and IOI nears the lead, Wade makes a desperate gamble, and what began as a quest for escape from poverty and abuse becomes a bid for love, and a story of friendship.
Ready Player One is steeped in 1980s popular culture of the geeky variety. Homages to both popular and obscure video games, Dungeons and Dragons manuals, anime, mangas, science fiction and fantasy movies and television shows are all here, as well as, for good measure, some classic rock.
(There is no pop or soul music to speak of, though, so in that regard, the picture of 1980s popular culture comes across as less diverse and even more male-centered than it actually was. Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Whitney Houston, among others, may not have mattered to James Halliday, but they were huge in the eighties.)
There's also some hand waving of potential obstacles; for example, I did not understand why IOI didn't use the five gunters' sponsorship deals to obtain all their real life identities.
During the contest, Wade helps his gunter competitors and I wondered whether that would prove to be a mistake or a good move. I won't spoil which way it went, as that would take some of the suspense out of the novel—and it is a suspenseful, page-turning read.
Wade's friendship with his fellow geeks (Aech especially) and his budding romance with Art3mis were particularly compelling. The mystery around Aech went in a direction I did not expect and I thought it made a great point about how online personas can be misleading.
While I was less than thrilled with Art3mis's reason for refusing to reveal her identity to Wade, I liked her a lot. She was a quick thinker and had her own goals, rather than merely being a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. I got why Wade fell so hard for her.
The book also has what I think of as a strong gee whiz factor. The wonders of the OASIS are creatively imagined and I can see why this novel slated to become a Steven Spielberg movie—many scenes beg to be brought to life on a big screen.
At the same time, there were a couple of slow chapters in the middle of the book, one of which described almost nothing but the state of the art OASIS system Wade had purchased. Not being that into tech, I zoned out during that chapter.
Reading this 2003 release in 2017 makes it hard to tell how fresh the virtual reality world concept was at the time of its publication. It's been done before now in YA, but perhaps some of those books were inspired by this one.</p>
Ready Player One is also highly entertaining. I was reminded of every recent SFF novel I had a blast reading, from The Martian to Ilona Andrews' books, not because there are any other similarities there, because simply so much of this novel was sheer fun.
And for all its flaws, Ready Player One also had an underlying cautionary message—that the real world should matter to us at least as much as our devices, no matter how enjoyable they are. B.

I was so happy to see this review up. I LOVED this book. Loved it as in finished the book and immediately bought copies to fling at people I knew who loved 80s culture. I wondered if someone who wasn't so 80s geeky would enjoy it as there are a lot of gaming references. For someone who was into it, the book seems to speak directly to you. (I've played Joust against my brother until I couldn't move my fingers).
I also was surprised at how inclusive it was. And how some issues of online identity are tackled as well such as how male avatars are taken more seriously in the tech world. Since it's such a high-concept, rolling adventure, those issues are not usually called out in reviews, but I'm glad the book didn't ignore them.
- Kareni
Thanks for your review, Janine. I've heard numerous mentions of this book but really had little understanding of its content.
- Lostshadows
I enjoyed this book and it held up pretty well on a reread. I found the chapter on his system details kind of interesting the first time, but I'm pretty sure I skipped it the second time.
Probably, in part, this is due to my age. Mid 80s to mid 90s is my pop culture touchstone. (Halliday was probably a bit older than me, since his seemed to run late 70s through the 80s.) I wasn't actually that familiar with a number of things referenced, (Never heard of Schoolhouse Rock until the 90s, never played a lot of the video games, barely remember some of movies) but I knew enough about them to know what they were.
Not sure if I'm looking forward to a movie of this though. I'm not sure watching anyone else's interpretation of things I've had a clear mental image of for decades isn't going to be too disappointing for me.
- Rebecca
I can't wait for the movie. But I'm also terrified of the movie. I loved this book so much and although it's being directed by Spielberg himself, I'm scared the movie will let me down as so many tend to do. If the movie fails, at leats we have the book.

This was a 2003 novel? I had no idea. I didn't read it 'til 2015. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it since I'm not a gamer (the only games I've ever played were on my Gameboy) but I really didn't have much trouble picking up on the references. It was great to read something that was just plain fun. But, as much as I liked the book, I'm a little ambivalent about the movie. I'm taking a wait and see approach there.
- Keishon
I have this book (I think) and have been meaning to read it for years but not long as I agree with Sunita, the original pub date shows 2011.
- Susan
@Janine: I picked it up when it was on sale this spring, but haven't gotten around to it yet. The reviews/buzz haven't been as enthusiastic for it so I'm not getting my hopes too high.
I just wanted to say that the reason IOI didn't use the sponsorship deals to gain access to their personal identities is because Wade, and I assume the others, weren't stupid enough to provide their identities. All business was conducted through their OASIS avatars. That's all.

BTS's Love Myself Campaign Reaches $1 Million In Donations
BTS, along with agency Big Hit Entertainment, kicked off the "Love Myself" campaign in November 2017 and has since then collected over one million US dollars for the cause!
The campaign started with BTS' $500K donation to "join hands with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to stage campaigns against violence toward children and teens around the world, with the hope of making the world a better place through music." BTS' fans, also known as ARMYs, eagerly participated and pitched in donations, blowing up the number to over $1M in just six months!
The current total is $1,034,915.93 USD using the current exchange rate.
The funds will be used to support UNICEF's worldwide campaigns to stop child and adolescent violence for two years. The official campaign Twitter account thanked the ARMYs from all over the world for making this possible.
We purple you, too!💜
LOVE MYSELF campaign is possible with ARMY around the world.
Thank you all!

Former unwed mom says B.C. forced her to give up baby
By Neal Hall, Vancouver Sun March 16, 2012
Hanne Andersen was an athletic 15-year-old living in North Vancouver when she was raped.
Six weeks later, she found out she was pregnant.
She had helped raise her younger siblings and wanted to keep the baby. But it was 1982 and social workers convinced her parents - neither were Canadian citizens at the time and unsure of the rules - that the best thing was to send Andersen to a Salvation Army maternity home for unwed girls called Maywood.
Andersen didn't realize it then, but that made her a temporary ward of the state and gave her no say in whether she could keep the baby. She was told she had to give the child up for adoption.
"There was lots of indoctrination going on there," Andersen, now 44, recalled Thursday.
"We had government social workers give us lectures for hours about how we would end up drug addicts if we didn't give up our babies," she said. "There wasn't any other option presented to us. I wanted to keep my baby and was very clear about it from the very beginning."
After a few months at the home, Andersen started losing weight. Her high school counsellor, who was concerned for her health and psycho-logical well-being, helped her leave Maywood.
She was at home for a brief period before she gave birth to her baby at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver.
"I had to ask three times to hold my baby," Andersen recalled. "The last time I had to yell."
The nurse handed her the baby until Andersen blacked out. She later obtained her medical file and learned she was drugged and given a lactation suppressant, Andersen said.
When she woke the next day, her baby was gone.
"I cried for a year," she recalled. "There was no followup. No social worker came to see me. I was close to killing myself. I know other mothers who committed suicide."
Andersen is contemplating signing on to a class-action lawsuit being filed today by the Merchant Law Group on behalf of unwed mothers who were forced to give up babies for adoption going back to the 1940s.
Tony Merchant, head of the Merchant Law Group, said unwed mothers were put in homes operated by the province and were often pressured by people from the Catholic Church and Salvation Army to give up babies for adoption. Merchant said he filed a similar class action in Quebec.
Andersen did not see her child again for 23 years - her daughter eventually tracked her down using birth records and set up a teary reunion in 2006.
Andersen said she maintains a good relationship with her daughter today. "She is beautiful, a wonderful person."
But she is still bitter about what she calls the "abduction" of her baby from the delivery room.
"My baby was taken from me, harvested," she said. "We were used as reproductive slaves to supply the demand for healthy babies for infer-tile married couples."
Andersen has contacted police about pressing criminal charges for her baby being taken and plans to file a formal police complaint later this month.
She has also joined a group that has asked the federal government and United Nations for an inquiry into unwed mothers being forced to give up babies for adoption.
"Our babies were abducted on the delivery table," Andersen said.
She became choked with emotion when she said she never had another baby, although she and her husband have been trying.
"I lost the sense of myself as a per-son and thought I could never be a good mother," Andersen said, crying, "because of all the indoctrination in the maternity home."
She said that a few years after reuniting with her daughter, she fell apart emotionally. She quit her $100,000-a-year job in the real estate industry and recently returned to school.
She also started a group, Justice for Mother & Child, which has a website: www.JusticeforMotherandChild.com
Andersen said she isn't interested in joining Merchant's class action for the money. "It's about getting recognition and for people to know what was done."
So far, about 200 women across Canada have agreed to take part in the lawsuits since the firm started the process half a year ago, Merchant said.
Merchant estimates there may be as many as 40,000 women in Canada who are potential class-action members. They include women who gave babies up for adoption starting in the 1940s and ending in the 1980s.
The law firm has a form on its website for potential class members to fill out: www.merchantlaw.com/classac-tions/umaclass.php

CBS' loss is FOX and the Pac-12's gain: Gus Johnson is joining the network to be its lead college football announcer. The timing couldn't have been better for the Pac-12: The conference just signed a record media rights deal split between FOX and ESPN. It all means Gus Johnson will play a prominent role in Pac-12 football and basketball broadcasts, from regular season games to the Pac-12 tournament.
Johnson's agreement is broad and he'll be working both as a college football and NFL announcer. In a press release on Tuesday, FOX outlined its plans for Johnson, which appear to include a heavy load of Pac-12 games.
In 2012, they'll call FOX's regular-season over-the-air broadcast schedule, culled primarily from the network's recently completed rights agreement with the Pac-12, as well as the aforementioned postseason assignments. In addition, Johnson also continues as the lead play-by-play voice for college basketball on Big Ten Network, will call FOX's Pac-12 men's basketball tournament games come 2013 and select NFL on FOX broadcasts following the college football season this year.
I think we all remember Johnson's work during the Pac-12 Tournament this past season. Calling the tournament championship game, Johnson unleashed a flurry of emotion following Isaiah Thomas' step-back game-winning jumper to beat the Arizona Wildcats. And now, with Johnson officially a member of the FOX broadcast crew, we'll be seeing that even more, both in the football booth and court-side at basketball games.
As if the Pac-12 media deal couldn't get any better, the conference now has one of the finest announcers in the land on-board, at least in some capacity. FOX is investing heavily in live sports, to the benefit of the Pac-12. Once woefully underpaid and underexposed, the Pac-12 should see serious nationally recognition, and having Johnson calling games is sure to attract eyeballs.
We, for one, welcome our new Gus Johnson overlords and couldn't be more excited about Tuesday's news.

You may be someone who rarely or never indulges in drinking alcohol. You may have various reasons for this decision, or you may simply not like to drink alcohol. You are not alone in this decision, and because you certainly would never get behind the wheel after even an occasional alcoholic beverage, you may think that you would never face a DUI charge.
This assumption may not be as correct as you think. Many drivers may consider themselves sober only to have police officers stop their vehicles for one reason or another and suspect the drivers of drinking and driving. You could wind up in this particular situation yourself, and an officer may ask you to participate in field sobriety tests.
Stay calm
When a police officer seems suspicious of you, you may immediately begin to sweat. Even if you have done nothing wrong, the traffic stop itself could have your anxiety and adrenaline through the roof. As a result, you may want to comply with every request made by the officer because you do not want to seem uncooperative. However, when it comes to field sobriety tests, you may want to think twice before participating.
Types of tests
Commonly, authorities utilize three types of field sobriety tests in efforts to determine whether a person may be impaired, as follows:
- The horizontal gaze nystagmus test involves an officer having you follow an object with only your eyes to determine whether any excessive jerky eye movement occurs, which commonly affects impaired individuals.
- The one-leg stand test involves an officer having you stand on one leg for approximately 30 seconds to check your balance.
- The walk-and-turn test would involve you walking heel-to-toe for several steps before turning and coming back, again to check balance and ability.
As you may already suspect, these tests are relatively subjective. You may naturally have bad balance, or simply being nervous may cause you to perform the tests badly. Nonetheless, if you do participate in the tests and the officer is not satisfied, you could face charges for DUI.
Refusing the tests
You may think that an officer will consider you a hindrance if you refuse to take the field sobriety tests. However, you have a right to refuse. You may want to remember, though, that the refusal may not prevent the officer from taking you into custody and charging you with DUI. If this takes place, you may want to begin looking for information on your criminal defense options.

Ingredients: King Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Salt, Pure Cane Sugar, Spices, Natural Alderwood Smoke
Availability: Highly sought-after white king salmon, often marketed as "ivory king," represent a mere five percent of the total king salmon population in Alaska, and many believe the white king's flavor is more delectable than their red-colored counterpart.
Tasting notes: You can expect a delicate yet rich flavor with Omega-3 packed King salmon. There's a sweetness from the tender flesh, balanced by gentle alder smoke notes. Then there's the color. While all that separates a white King from the red is its inability to process pigments, its rarity sets it apart. When you want something extra special, this is it. Treat yourself.
Serve it up: The ultimate and accessible crowd-pleaser, show it off as the centerpiece on your charcuterie, seacuterie or conserva platter, or use it to add a little oomph to a tray of simple bruschetta.

That evening John was joined by alto saxophonist Mike Osborne and bassist Paul Rogers. John Stevens was a master drummer and it is a thrill to listen to him throughout the whole of this recording. Mike Osborne is at his best. It seems that he has an endless number of ideas for building up his improvisations. Paul Rogers was very young here but was already discovered by the masters and he is today a well-established artist.

Georgia assistant men's hoops coach suspended after incident
Feb 18, 2022, 11:57 PM | Updated: Feb 19, 2022, 1:59 pm
(Hilary Scheinuk/The Advocate via AP, File)
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia coach Tom Crean is facing another challenge in his difficult season as assistant coach Wade Mason has been suspended following an incident earlier in the week.
In a statement released Saturday, the Georgia athletic association said the incident "is under review" following reports Mason was involved in an altercation with director of player development Brian Fish during halftime of Wednesday night's 84-65 loss at LSU.
Mason, in his first season on Crean's staff, was not with the team for Saturday's 85-68 loss to Mississippi. Georgia has released no details of the suspension.
Georgia hasn't disclosed any details of the incident. Fish remained on the bench for Saturday's game.
Crean acknowledged on his pregame radio show he was facing "an unfortunate situation we had to deal with."
The Bulldogs' lost season then hit another low with the loss to Ole Miss.
The Bulldogs (6-21, 1-13 Southeastern Conference) have lost seven consecutive games and 15 of their last 16. Crean, in his fourth season, is facing increased speculation about his job security.
Asked if he could provide clarity on Mason's status following Saturday's game, Crean said "No, obviously it's an unfortunate situation that we're dealing with and it was all handled correctly. We're trying to keep our focus on basketball and we just didn't play well today."
When asked if the Bulldogs were successful in their efforts to retain their focus, Crean said "We didn't win. It wasn't from lack of work or attention to detail or anything like that."
In its statement, Georgia said Crean reported the incident to athletic association officials in a timely manner.
"The incident in question was reported properly as required by university policies and is under review," the statement said. "We will comment if and when appropriate."
Crean is 47-70 overall and 15-53 in SEC games at Georgia. The Bulldogs are last in the SEC and lost one of their best opportunities to add another win by falling to the Rebels (13-14, 4-10), who brought a four-game losing streak to Athens.
Georgia, which plays at Texas A&M on Tuesday night, has only four games remaining in the regular season.
Junior guard Jaxon Etter said players can put aside the distractions when they are on the court.
"There are outside distractions but as soon as guys step on the court, as soon as guys step in the facility, we're locked on the game plan," Etter said.
Etter said there was no carryover from the incident at LSU.
"No, the players, we're basketball players first," Etter said. "We want to play basketball and that's what we're here to do."

About the HAZMAT CDL Test
The HAZMAT test:
- 30 questions.
- You need 24 correct answers (80%).
- You may be timed. Time limit varies by state.
The second longest written test is the Hazardous Materials test because of the risks involved and the potential consequences these risks impose. These reasons compel governments on all levels to regulate the handling and transporting of hazardous materials.
There is a heap of information to learn and take to heart if you are interested in transporting hazardous materials. Most CDL manuals have about 20 pages of information to study for the HAZMAT test.
This is still only the beginning for candidates who wish to become a CDL HAZMAT operator. Before getting on the road yourself, there are many more hurdles. For example, you will have to have a background check performed and fingerprints taken; extra classes at your trucking school or through your employer; extensive training and testing on the job; and continued training and testing a minimum of once every three years.
When you prepare to take the CDL Written HAZMAT test, you should study the following topics:
- The intent of the regulations
- HAZMAT transportation—who does what
- Communication rules
- Package labels/placards
- The shipping paper
- Shipper's certification
- Loafing and unloading
- Bulk packaging marking for loading and unloading
- Driving and parking rules
- Emergencies
- Cargo tank
This is a serious job for serious applicants. Know everything you can about transporting hazardous materials. What three things do you need to know to decide which (if any) placards you need? Name a hazard class that uses transport indexes to determine the amount that can be loaded in a single vehicle. How is a portable tank different than a cargo tank? What is a safe haven?

HE UNKNOWN GOD [The Mystery of God]
You will only get it right when you receive Jesus Christ::
1 Thessalonians 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."
THE UNKNOWN GOD [The Mystery of God]
Old Paths Baptist Mission © 2016 Richard St.James
7. Three In One
If you start wrong, you will end up wrong!
If you get it right, you will end up right!
"I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." [Isaiah 45:12]
Now for Genesis TRUTH, go to the book of beginnings: Genesis chapter one, verses twenty-six through twenty-eight: we find that plurality is enclosed [or embedded] in a singular God.
We read:
"And God [singular] said, Let us [plural] make man in our [plural] image, after our [plural] likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God" [singular] "created man in his [singular] own image, in the image of God [singular] created he [singular] him; male and female created he [singular] them. "And God" [singular] "blessed them, and God [singular] said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." [Genesis 1:26-28]
[>1 is in 1]
Thus far, in this foundational insight given to us in the Scripture [the A.V. 1611], the words of God reveal … that God is a PERSON with more than one PERSON within HIM [a plurality being enclosed [or embedded] within Him.
[>1 is in 1]
Then, the question will now arise: How many PERSONS is this ONE GOD? What does the word of God show us?
First, we can see that one of the PERSONS in the ONE GOD is very definitely ... Jesus Christ. "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:" [Ephesians 3:9]. All things that were ever created, were created by Jesus.
Conclusion: Jesus Christ is the creator of Heaven and Earth!
This then gives rise to another conclusion: The things that are created … are not God, which makes Pantheism a lie of the Devil. The universe is only part of the creation.
"PAN'THEISM, n. Gr. all, and God, whence theism. The doctrine that the universe is God, or the system of theology in which it is maintained that the universe is the supreme God." [Webster's 1828 dictionary]
Lesson: The things created by the creator cannot be God.
Now, there is something else here to be seen: Jesus Christ has within him … bodily, "the fulness of the Godhead" according to the Bible. Read for this in the Epistle to the Colossians:
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." [Colossians 2:9]
We must note the following to end up right:
• Jesus Christ is "the Word".
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." [John 1:1-3]
• The Son has a body.
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." [John 1:14]
• Within this body is the fulness of the Godhead, such that the Godhead is comprised of more than one PERSON having this conversation within Himself:
"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom." [Hebrews 1:8]
In the King James Bible, there is revealed ONE GOD, with the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit in a triune communion.
[SOUL … BODY … SPIRIT … a TRINITY]
The GODHEAD!!!
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." [1 John 5:7]
It is ... Scripture with Scripture …. that we will see THE TRUTH!!!
THE TRUTH will make you free !!! [John 8:32]
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." [John 1:18]
The SON … when he was on this earth … declared the Father.
This is WHO Abraham saw in his day! [2107c AM, 2817 JP, 1897 BC]
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God [Jesus Christ] was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." [1 Timothy 3:16]
It is the Father who has not been seen!
This is a mystery! The mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ, and the Spirit … the Trinity is three PERSONS in ONE! The FATHER, The SON, The HOLY GHOST … are ONE!
"This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three [THREE] that bear record in heaven, the Father, [FATHER] the Word, [SON] and the Holy Ghost [HOLY GHOST] and these three are one. [ONE] And there are three [THREE] that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." [ONE] [1 John 5:6-8]
Even man [as originally created in the image of God] is comprised of three parts: soul, body, and spirit, three in one: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." [1 Thessalonians 5:23]
Now, for further proof: In that great prayer chapter, John seventeen, we find two of these persons of the TRINITY in communication via these words: "These words spake Jesus, [SON] and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: [FATHER] As thou hast given him [SON] power over all flesh, that he [SON] should give eternal life to as many as thou [FATHER] hast given him. [SON] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee [FATHER] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, [SON] whom thou [FATHER] hast sent. I [SON] have glorified thee on the earth: I [SON] have finished the work which thou gavest me [SON] to do. And now, O Father, [FATHER] glorify thou me [SON] with thine [FATHER] own self with the glory which I [SON] had with thee [FATHER] before the world was." [John 17:1-5]
Do you need ... more proof?
In the book of Hebrews we find GOD talking to GOD!!
"Who [SON] being the brightness of his glory, and the express image [the express image] of his person, [FATHER] and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he [SON] had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he [SON] hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he [FATHER] at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him [SON]. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he [FATHER] saith, Thy throne, O God, [SON] is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God [SON], even thy God [FATHER], hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord [SON], in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:" [Hebrews 1:3-10]]
You will find that comparing Scripture with Scripture is the only safe way to go in life ... to find true life … eternal life!!
We go next to the New Testament, in Colossians, chapter two, verse two: "That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;" [Colossians 2:2]..
In the beginning, the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit, were together
in eternity past. The BOOK speaks to this very thing. It was the SON WHO
created "the heaven and the earth." This again, COMPARING Scripture with
Scripture, is how we see this very truth confirmed in the book of
Hebrews, chapter one: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last
days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
things, by whom also he made the worlds." [Hebrews 1:1-2]]
Now, for the final connection: HE that "made the worlds" is the "Word"..
See for this the Gospel of John, chapter one, verse one: "In the beginning was the Word,""
It is now time to make a distinction between the singular and plural form of the word, word. The plural form of word … words … is found in the King James Bible 512 times. God communicates [or reveals] to us by words. Thus speech in any language is composed of words..
It follows that we need to keep God's words. And why is this so? "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." [John 14:23]]
[Do you love Jesus Christ?]]
Again, if we "love" the LORD, we will need to keep His "words"..
[Do you keep His words?]]
These "words" [or "word"] are POWERFUL. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." [Hebrews 4:12]]
The word of God WORKS within the believer! "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe." [1 Thessalonians 2:13]]
These "words" [or "word"] are TRUTH: "For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:" [Colossians 1:5-6]]
Now, the singular form of "word" appears 675 times in the King James Bible. The capital W - in "Word" appears SEVEN times out of these 675 instances of "word", three times [3] in verse one, once again, in verse fourteen [4], and then again in First John chapter one, verses one through three [5]::
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." [1 John 1:1-3]]
And again in First John chapter five, verse seven [6]: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.""
And lastly, in the book of Revelation, chapter nineteen, verse thirteen [7]: "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.""
Friend, get back to THE BOOK! A triune GOD is REVEALED in THE BOOK!!
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." [Colossians 2:9] Read on!!
"And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." [1 John 5:8-13]]
What should you do to be saved??
You should make::
• A good confessionn
• That there is none else,,
• That God has appeared to man as the true God,,
• And reject Arianism..
• Finally approach by faith,,
• The Three in One through Jesus Christ..
If you start wrong, you will end up wrong!!
If you get it right, you will end up right!!
You will only get it right when you receive Jesus Christ::
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" [John 1:12]]
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." [Romans 10:9]]

- Unlike his previous coaching gigs in Phoenix and Chicago, Scott Skiles is getting a full summer of preparation before his first season in Milwaukee, and overall he came away pleased with his team's Vegas performance. "As a team we played very, very well here. I thought we were, if not the best team here, definitely one of the best. I was pleased with all the guys we brought, everyone worked hard, and that was outstanding." The Bucks won their final four games en route to a 4-1 record, tying Golden State and and Denver for the best record in Vegas. Following their opening loss to Memphis, the Bucks won by 12 or more points in each of their remaining games.
While wins and losses don't matter much in Vegas, the coaching staff certainly deserves some credit for the Bucks' results. Skiles and company did a nice job getting their motley crew of youngsters and veteran free agents to play unselfishly and work defensively, two traits that were rarely ascribed to the 07/08 Bucks. Ramon Sessions was the only Buck to consistently play at a high level, but the Bucks didn't miss a beat when he sat out the final two games, either. There's no telling whether any of this will carry over once camp starts in October, but it's a solid start for a staff that has its work cut out for them.
Statistically, it's difficult to argue that any lottery pick was as underwhelming in Vegas as Joe Alexander, who in 28 mpg averaged 9.2 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.8 apg, 1.2 to and 1.2 bpg on .349/.250/.818 shooting. Fortunately, actually watching him play was a bit more encouraging, but in general let's not act as though Joe's Vegas adventure raised anyone's expectations.
Alexander had no problem elevating to get good looks over defenders, operating mostly in the PnR (against PFs) and posting smaller players (against SFs), but he struggled to find his shooting rhythm and generally wasn't looking to jack up shots at every opportunity. If his relatively poor fg% in college is any indication, it's unlikely he'll provide an efficient scoring option as a jumpshooter next season, so the Bucks will need to find ways to utilize his athleticism in transition, on lobs, etc.
Still, let's not get too down on him. For all his struggles shooting the ball, Alexander was also very unselfish in Vegas and showed excellent court vision for a combo forward. His ballhandling wasn't impressive, but his awareness helped him avoid turnovers and create opportunities for others even when his shot wasn't falling. In other words, he should be able to earn rotation time even if he's got a ways to go before he's a polished scorer. And his layup line dunk spectacle should provide some entertainment, too.
Defensively, he struggled to rebound when matched against bigger forwards but used his athleticism to block shots and generally provide solid defense. At 6'8" he's not going to bang on the blocks with PFs, but he's not a pushover either. By the end of the week he was frequently fronting his man to prevent catches in the first place, but I'm guessing his long-term position is at the 3 unless he figures out how to take advantage of mismatches on the offensive end.
- Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was pretty much exactly what we thought he'd be and overall put up better numbers than his more highly-touted teammate. Mbah a Moute showed a knack for being at the right place at the right time on both ends and finished the week with averages of 9.0 ppg and 6.6 rpg in 25.4 mpg on .444/.765 shooting. He scored in double figures each of the last three games, including a 13/10 night on Saturday. He put it on the floor with mixed success but his outside shot was fairly non-existent, so don't expect him to be much more than an athletic garbageman early on.
Defensively he seemed comfortable guarding multiple positions and got to more than his fair share of loose balls. He's a good candidate to spend time in the D-League, but the Bucks' lack of depth at the forward positions means Luc could also find his way into the rotation at some point. Who knows, if Alexander's shot continues to elude him we might even see more of Luc than Joe.
Skiles seemed fairly content with his rookies when I caught up with him on Sunday after the final game. "They both did a nice job. I thought they both fit in well with our team defensive concepts that we're trying to teach them. Having said that they're both rookies and they need to continue to work hard."
Skiles also told me he wasn't looking for Alexander to add bulk in order to play more at the power forward. "I'm not worried about that. I think that's a mistake with some guys. He'll do a regular lifting program but I'm not going to make that a priority."
- Sessions picked up where he left off last April, looking every bit the "pure point" that he appeared to be last season. In three games he talled 15.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg and a Vegas-leading 7.3 apg in 28 mpg while expertly controlling the game's tempo. He also managed to avoid getting lit up by opposing guards.
Is he good enough to be a starter? That's really the $51 million dollar question right now, as the Bucks' level of confidence in Sessions will play a major role in how willing they are to move Mo Williams. I'd guess they would move Mo in a heartbeat if they felt they were getting a talented, reasonably-priced player in return (preferably a PF), but it's unclear if there's much of a market for Mo's services at the moment.
- With Michael Redd and the rest of Team USA in Vegas for pre-Olympic practice, John Hammond was planning to stick around and meet up with his star shooting guard for dinner sometime this week. However, with Yi Jianlian now gone, the Bucks have decided to cancel their plans to watch Redd, Yi, and Andrew Bogut compete in Beijing. The trip would have been largely a gesture of support and respect for Yi as he competed in his home country, but Redd and Bogut assured the Bucks they didn't need any parental supervision.

Current guests at Sausalito's Cavallo Point Lodge are resting and relaxing in the midst of 15 authentic images by one of America's most renowned photographers—but it's likely that visitors are not aware of their proximity to greatness. Tucked behind the environmentally sustainable resort's acclaimed Mercantile gift shop is Cavallo Point's Art Gallery—a small, yet atmospheric public space that has been the stage for works by such artistic luminaries as Imogen Cunningham and Ruth Asawa. And now, it's the photography of Ansel Adams that takes the spotlight in this under-the-radar gem of a space.
The incredible Ansel Adams exhibition is a special curated show in conjunction with The G2 Gallery in Venice, CA (an award-winning nature and wildlife photography gallery that facilitates change by bringing attention to environmental issues through the persuasive power of photographic art), and Cavallo Point's sister property, Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur. Exhibits at Cavallo Point's Art Gallery change seasonally and typically feature local talent.
A born and raised San Franciscan, Ansel Adams fits the Gallery profile. Over the course of his long and storied career, Adams produced seven limited-edition portfolios, the first in 1948 and the last in 1976. He referred to the 90 total photographs as "an excellent cross section of my work." Cavallo's current showing of Portfolio Two, "The National Parks & Monuments," features 15 photographs from the country's national parks, reflecting Adams' passion for preserving and protecting those areas for generations to come. (It is fitting that the exhibit takes place during this 100th anniversary year of our National Parks System.)
Portfolio 4, entitled "What Majestic World," is on display at Post Ranch Inn. Dedicated to the memory of his Sierra Club friend, inventor and conservationist, Russell Varian, this portfolio expresses Varian's appreciation of the mountains and wilderness. Varian's widow Dorothy wrote the preface, explaining that the photos were selected to serve as interpretations of Varian's character, as interpreted by Adams' photos. The two resorts will trade exhibitions this fall.
Each portfolio is available for purchase: Portfolio Two is $125,000 with a percentage of the proceeds benefitting Turning Green and the Golden Gate Parks Conservancy. The mission of Golden Gate Parks Conservancy is to preserve the Golden Gate National Parks, enhance the park visitor experience, and build a community dedicated to conserving the parks for the future. Based in Marin, Turning Green is a student-led global movement devoted to education and advocacy around environmentally sustainable and socially responsible choices for individuals, schools, and communities. Portfolio Four is $120,000, with proceeds benefitting the Big Sur Land Trust and Ventana Wilderness Society.
Adams is considered one of the foremost figures in the history of American photography. He was a tireless promoter of his medium, and helped usher photography into the art world. Bay Area photographer John Andrew Murphy, whose work currently hangs in proximity to the Adams exhibit at Cavallo Point's Art Gallery, credits Adams for his own interest in photography. "It's an honor to have my work displayed in the same physical space as Adams' work," Says Murphy. "In addition to his photos and prints, Ansel also published books on his home-grown methodology for composition, exposing and printing black and white film and I use many of his concepts and workflows in my own black and white work. I am always considering and refining my own vision in the spirit of those of who came before. All photographers must have their own vision, and Ansel definitely had his."

Naming things is apparently one of the hardest problems in software engineering.
I have a bunch of side projects with rather generic and uninspiring names. I'd like to see them gain some wider usage and I think the names are putting people off. Unfortunately, I can't think of any decent names. So I'd like to throw it out to the community to see if we can find a better name for them! Here's a list of projects and what they do. If you can think of a better name, just post it in the comments.
Elevator Pitch: Getting software to run on CI environments like Travis-CI requires installing a bunch of dependencies, activating environments and doing other setup. This creates a lot of duplicate code in configuration files. These extensible scripts, written in Python, can be directly fetched with CURL and executed. They set up any required language environments, install dependencies and do deployment-specific steps.
Elevator Pitch: System package managers are great, but they make life painful when trying to reproduce builds between systems. They often require system level access - something you don't always have or want. Docker and Vagrant partially solve this problem, but one only works for linux guests and the other is quite heavy-weight. This project creates a local version of your operating system's package manager so you can install just what you need and nothing else. You run binaries through it and it will automatically set up any required PATHs or LD_LIBRARY_PATHS to make it work.
Elevator Pitch: Parse CMake files and create an abstract syntax tree, usable from Python.
Elevator Pitch: Catches bad practice in CMake files. Like cmake-lint, but it checks for other things, especially variable quoting.
I can't think of a worse name!
Elevator Pitch: Ensures that each source code file's header is consistently styled and checks for spelling mistakes in comments and user facing strings. For instance, it checks to make sure that every file contains a copyright notice, or that if the name of the file appears at the top of its copyright notice, that the name is actually correct. It also makes sure that anything referred to in a code comment can actually be found in the code if it is not an english word.
Elevator Pitch: Integrates every decent python linting tool into a setuptools command. Collects all the output into a single format and de-duplicates any warnings. Runs prospector, flake8, pyroma and polysquare-generic-file-linter. Caches results and parallelises the linter processes where possible to speed up builds.
Elevator Pitch: Bumps your project's version number, tags a new release and pushes tags to git on request. Uses bumpversion under the good. Designed to be used in conjunction with Travis-CI.
Elevator Pitch: A library for CMake that makes it easy to integrate new static analysis tools into your build. Just run _psq_run_tool_for_each_source _on a target with your tool's binary and arguments and that tool will run every time that target is updated during your build.
Elevator Pitch: Add it to your project, add executables and libraries through it, and you get amazing tooling like CPPCheck, clang-tidy, include-what-you-use, vera++ and others for free. Adds an option to build code with AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviourSanitizer, MemorySanitizer and ThreadSanitizer. Adds an option which turns on pre-compiled headers and unity builds without having to make any underlying changes to the build system.
Elevator Pitch: Examine a header file to determine all of its dependencies and whether it is C only or involves C++. Many tools require that the language be specified manually for such headers.
If you can think of a better name for any of these, please let me know. I'll take any suggestion!

Signal jammers are not your everyday electronic devices that you can purchase from the local stores. They are specialized devices designed for the purpose of serving a special task. So if you are someone who might be in need of this device, there is a high chance that you will need to seek special permission before using them, unless you work for the government and you already have that authority to exercise. With that being said, there is very little public knowledge about signal jammers. If you want to know more you can always visit thesignaljammer.com.
That being said, today we will be discussing different reasons why signal jammers are purchased and used. So without any further ado, let us get right into it, shall we?
Security Concerns
Most governmental organizations tend to use signal jammers for the purpose of eliminating any security threats that might be upcoming. Signal jammers, specifically for cellphones are great because with high end technology and new advances, there is always a drawback to it. a lot of people tend to misuse their technological knowledge to create weaponry that requires remote control access via cellular signals. So remote controlled bombs work essentially on this very principal. In order to avoid such a mishap, sometimes cellular signals are jammed so that no one is harmed in the process.
To Avoid Being Traced
Another reason why people are interested in buying signal jammers is because they are the best way to avoid being traced or stalked by someone. A lot of the times, people use cyber spaces for bullying, stalking and harassing others. If you find yourself in such a situation, you can seek help via authorities and on your end you can invest in a signal jammer so that you can keep yourself protected from unwanted threats.

These 11 kitchen trends will be everywhere in 2020
If you're renovating your kitchen, here's what you'll need
Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewed's editors. Purchases made through the links below may earn us and our publishing partners a commission.
A kitchen remodel gives you a chance to create the cooking and serving space you've always dreamed of and can finally afford. There are more design and appliance choices available all the time and your new kitchen will definitely benefit. Whether you're starting the space from scratch or just doing a minor update, here are the hottest kitchen trends to watch for in 2020.
1. The driest dishes, right out of the dishwasher
Nobody wants to unload wet dishes, yet it's a fact of life with many dishwashers on the market. Your plastics are not getting dry. A new kitchen needs a dishwasher that does a better job. Luckily, the Bosch SHPM88Z75N dishwasher, our top-rated model, now incorporates the "magic" mineral zeolite to ensure dry dishes every time. Zeolite crystals absorb 30% of their weight in moisture from the wash cycle and undergo a chemical process that causes them to heat up. This results in quick and efficient drying. The crystals reside in a sealed chamber inside the dishwasher and you don't need to replace them. Bosch has perfected the technology for years outside the U.S. and the company's sister brand, Thermador, already uses it. Kiss your dishtowel goodbye.
2. Colorful cabinets
White cabinetry is classic and will probably never go out of style but it's not your only choice. Green makes a terrific kitchen color, reminding us of fresh vegetables and crunchy apples. You'll be seeing many different shades of green in kitchens all over Instagram in the upcoming year. Pale mint and olive work well in farmhouse kitchens or you can go bright with chartreuse or clover green for a contemporary flavor. If you feel more drawn to blue than green, cabinets in dark blue will still be popular in 2020, especially on the lower cabs. Either color will look great if you complement it with wood flooring and white backsplash tiles.
3. Refrigerators that provide better protection for produce
Fruits and vegetables don't get along well in your fridge because ripening fruit gives off ethylene gas, a plant hormone that can cause veggies to rot before their time. Your produce deserves better. Now Bosch is putting an ethylene gas filter into their new French door refrigerators to keep your vegetables crisp and delicious for a longer time.
4. Removable wallpaper
A peelable adhesive wall covering that you can apply yourself and take down when you're tired of it, temporary wallpaper can be a kitchen's new best friend. It will add great color and texture that brings the walls to life, without requiring a long-term commitment. When design trends change, you can switch it out without making a major investment.
5. A backsplash that climbs the wall
Whether you choose plain white subway tile or create a colorful large-scale mosaic, backsplashes don't have to go from the counter to the bottom of the wall cabinets anymore. Instead, the backsplash can rise all the way up to the ceiling. This gives the kitchen a cohesive look and creates an eye-catching focal point.
6. Air frying in the oven
When we write about air fryers at Reviewed, we always explain that they are countertop convection ovens. Now, you can use air fry inside your oven. Frigidaire has created a line of ranges that bring you crispy food without the guilt—and by that I mean grease. The company offers a basket for chicken, french fries, or whatever food you want to crisp up. Select the air fry mode and using a fan to circulate hot air, the oven temperature spikes to brown the food, and then gradually cools down to cook the inside to perfection. If you buy a lot of frozen food, this range could delight you.
7. Specialty sinks that wash the dishes
If you live alone or with one other person, chances are that you don't run the dishwasher every day—there aren't nearly enough dishes to fill it. Now, Fotile is making a tiny sink dishwasher that can wash about ten items at a time. Water use is minimal—about 1.6 gallons a cycle—the water force is powerful, and the temperature reaches about 160°. A few drops of dishwashing liquid will clean it all. Fotile has also developed a separate sink that washes fruits and vegetables using gentle vibrations to remove dirt and pesticides.
8. Mixed metal hardware
The right hardware will update your kitchen and tie all the elements together, so don't be afraid to mix it up. You will personalize the look of your kitchen by changing up the hardware, so pick a couple of metals and use them for the knobs, pulls, and plumbing. While a cool brushed nickel finish looks fresh and remains popular, rose gold will look dated in 2020. If you want a warm metal, try copper or brass instead. Matte black has a bold, minimalist vibe and grabs attention, as long as you don't overdo it. If you like the look, try it on your faucet and use different metals on the drawer pulls.
9. A darker appliance finish
Stainless steel is classic and white is traditional but other appliance finishes look more current. You can add drama to your 2020 kitchen with black stainless steel, and you won't be alone. Black stainless appliances have already made their way into 10% of upgraded kitchens. There's a caveat, though: Every brand has a different take on black stainless, so you might have to stick to the same brand for all your kitchen appliances if you want them to match.
10. White quartz countertops
Although dark counters can look sophisticated, even sexy, white countertops are still the most popular going into 2020. Engineered quartz and natural stone are fighting it out neck-and-neck for the most desirable, so you can choose according to your taste. Quartz comes in a wide variety of styles that emulate stone and is easy to maintain. New lifetime sealers make natural stone a viable low-maintenance option. The surface that won't look new in your 2020 kitchen is a busy, colorful granite. Whichever material you select, go for a "quieter" and more neutral look.
11. Smart home devices
Any kitchen can be improved with smart devices. You'll really enjoy them in your 2020 kitchen. Your Google Home or Amazon Echo device will read you recipes, order groceries, answer cooking questions, set a timer, serenade you while you're meal prepping, and lots more. You can buy a Wi-fi connected multi-cooker to cook your dinner and tell an Alexa-enabled microwave to make you popcorn. Newer smart robot vacs rock onboard cameras, so they're security devices as well as vacuum cleaners. And instead of sweeping the kitchen floor after dinner, just tell the smart vacuum to clean up and get on with the rest of your life.

David E. Kelley is the man behind a new drama on Amazon released on Friday, and he spoke about one of his last series, The Crazy Ones, and the impact its cancellation had on him.
David E. Kelley was the man behind The Crazy Ones. The comedy starred Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The series was cancelled by CBS after one season. According to Indiewire, Kelley revealed the following about the series and the impact it is having on his choices for the foreseeable future:
"If broadcast TV evolves and really cares about product than exalting ratings over product, I might. If they got rid of commercials, I might. It's just hard to succeed with good, solid storytelling with six- and seven-minute acts. In current form, I don't have much interest to return."
Kelley also spoke about the series and the reasons behind its cancellation. He said the following:
"The show wasn't very good," Kelley admitted. "It started off with great ratings, but after watching three or four episodes, I thought the storytelling was pretty bad. I wasn't a half-hour person, so I turned that over to half-hour people and was willing to step back." I went to CBS and said to them, 'This isn't very good.' The ratings were… their response was, basically, 'We don't care if it's any good. The way people watch TV now, is they've got their computers open, they're updating their Facebook status. They have their iPads. They're doing an email. They're looking up at the television. Robin Williams is funny. It's very compatible, this show with the way people watch TV now.'"
It was that meeting that turned him off from bringing a new series to broadcast television. In addition to Goliath on Amazon, fans of Kelley's will be able to see another series with his stamp on HBO next year.
Were you a fan of The Crazy Ones? Are you surprised that David E. Kelley has abandoned broadcast television? Tell us what you think.
