Leh/Jammu: The Union Territory of Ladakh has created history by successfully conducting its maiden 21-km trail running event in sub-zero temperature at 13,862 feet high Pangong Tso, which was registered in Guinness world record as the world's highest frozen lake half marathon.
Spread across the border of India and China, the 700-square kilometer Pangong Lake records a temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius during winter, making the salt water lake frozen with ice.
The four-hour long marathon started from Lukung and ended at Maan village on Monday with no injury reported to any of the 75 participants, Leh District Development Commissioner Shrikant Balasaheb Suse told PTI.
Named as the 'Last Run' to remind the people about the climate change and need to save the Himalayas, the marathon was organised by the Adventure Sports Foundation of Ladakh (ASFL) in collaboration with Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh, Tourism Department, Ladakh and Leh district administration.
"The first Pangong frozen lake half marathon is now officially registered in the Guinness book of world records," Suse said.
He said besides spreading the message of ecological awareness among the stakeholders through sports, the marathon was also aimed at promoting sustainable winter tourism in border villages of eastern Ladakh to generate livelihood opportunities for residents especially in winters which is part of 'vibrant village programme' announced by central government.
The run was flagged off by Chief Executive Councillor, LAHDC (Leh) Tashi Gyalson. Five energy stations were set up along the route, consisting of energy drinks, medical teams and oxygen support, along with mobile ambulances.
The district development commissioner said all the participants underwent six-day acclimatisation — four days in Leh and two in Pangong — in accordance with the SOPs decided by the district administration. The participants were also subjected to medical examination to ensure that they were fit for running.
All medical centres along the route were equipped with trained personnel and equipment to tackle any medical emergencies, Suse said, adding the event saw active support from Indian Army and ITBP in terms of medical support and logistics.
Union Territory Disaster Response Force personnel and Ladakh mountain guide association personnel were deployed along the route to ensure safety of the runners. The route was decided after proper inspection and size of frozen layer of ice, the officer said.
He said the participants were allowed to run only after wearing safety equipment to avoid slipping on ice.
After the successful conclusion of the event, the runners were felicitated with medals and certificates, while cash prizes were also given to first, second and third place finishers in both men's and women's categories.
He said the event was recorded as 'Highest Altitude Frozen Half Marathon' and a certificate was issued by Guinness officials on the occasion to LAHDC Leh and ASFL.
"Congratulations, we have made it to the world record. Indeed a successful event inspired by Prime Minister @narendramodi's #VibrantVillages Programme for border regions," Gyalson tweeted.

Pure brown cat breeds are hard to find. But if you're trying to find an entirely brown kitten, the Havana Brown is probably the only one you may have encountered. Most cats have stripes, points, and tabby markings in their coats, and strong cats are generally solid black or white. It is uncommon to find a pure brown cat without any markings. But a few breeds are predominately brown, which may be your best bet at finding brown cat breeds.
So, we are going to examine five stunning brown cat breeds to help you find the pure brown cat for which you've been searching.
Havana Brown Cats
Size: 12-15 inches
Lifespan: 13-15 years
Temperament: Playful, affectionate, bright
The Havana Brown cat is a medium-sized, short-haired breed exclusively — as its name implies — brownish. They are a deep, mahogany brown, specifically, even though they may be somewhat darker or lighter. Furthermore, they are lively cats but maybe loners at times, happily playing independently with their favorite toy. Nevertheless, they are connected to their owner and will bond powerfully with one person. The Havana Brown is a rare breed, and now, there's a concerted effort among breeders to rescue the strain from evaporating.
Burmese Cats
Size: 15-18 inches
Lifespan: 16-18 Decades
Temperament: playful, loyal, friendly
The Burmese brown cats are most often brown cats, and you may have seen them in various colors, including lilac and cream. However, they are energetic and friendly felines and knowingly seek out individual company — these cats don't enjoy being alone. Moreover, the Burmese are exceedingly curious feline that loves to know every little space in your home. Hence, they're playful cats that retain this kitten-like playfulness nicely into adulthood.
In other words, these cats are often known as dog-like and will want to be involved in your every activity. That said, they do enjoy their alone time and become pretty much happy when given lots of toys.
York Chocolate Cats
Size: 8-10 inches high
Lifespan: 13-15 years
Temperament: Affectionate, loyal, energetic, curious
The fluffy, long-haired York Chocolate cat includes a gorgeous, chocolate-brown coat, occasionally lavender mixed in. Further, these brown cats are incredibly favorable and even-tempered cats that are playful yet dedicated and loving toward their owners. Undoubtedly, they bond strongly with their owner and love when petted, though they are highly cautious of strangers. Plus, these cats can also be curious and come up frequently when their owners enter the house. They love water and are known to have a dip in the sink or toilet routinely!
Devon Rex Cats
Size: 15-18 inches
Lifespan: 9-15 years
Temperament: Sociable, careful, affectionate
The Devon Rex brown cats come in various colors and markings, including blue, cream, and brown. Interestingly, they're lively cats with mischievous streaks at times and exceptionally alert, active, and attentive. However, their principal claim to fame is that their low-set ears may provide them with an elven appearance. In addition, their unusual coat gets wavy, rippled hair that's thin and easily damaged. Obviously, they're lively, energetic cats who are great to have around kids and other animals. Thus they use a high intellect that makes it easy to train them.
Persian Cats
Size: 14-18 inches
Lifespan: 10-18 years
Temperament: Quiet, sweet, reserved
The big, fluffy Persian brown cat needs no introduction, and these cats come in a wide variety of colors, including a superb chocolate brown. Besides, these cats require a great deal of grooming, and everyday brushing is essential to keep their lavish coat out of knotting and matting. Indeed, they are playful and affectionate cats who love to be around their owners but may be booked and cautious around strangers. These cats are less active cat breed. However, they're lively and are good to have around kids.
Finally, we have reached the point that these brown cat breeds are wonderful human mates. In reality, some are far more laidback than many others. At the same time, many others have enough power to keep you busy all day long. Moreover, some have long hair, while others barely have any. Hopefully, this list of brown cat breeds makes it possible to choose a new furry family member that meets your needs and expectations as time goes on. Now which cat on our list most interested you? We would love to hear your ideas in our comments section below.

Marin Healthcare District Brings Dr. Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease® to Marin – First to be Offered in Northern California
Nationally Renowned Program, from Marin Resident Dr. Dean Ornish, Helps Participants Address Underlying Causes of Disease Through Lifestyle Changes
The Cardiovascular Center of Marin, one of the Marin Healthcare District's premier health centers, is the first in Northern California to offer patients a unique, non-invasive approach to reverse cardiac disease created by Marin resident Dr. Dean Ornish. Dr. Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease®, commonly known as Ornish Lifestyle Medicine™, addresses the root causes of heart disease rather than just its symptoms, and offers participants what can be a more appealing option than surgery: lifestyle as treatment.
"This program will be an excellent addition to the cardiac program we currently offer at the Cardiovascular Center of Marin, and we are excited to introduce it as an option for our cardiac rehab patients," said Mark Wexman, MD, Medical Director of Ornish Lifestyle Medicine at the Cardiovascular Center of Marin. "Ornish Lifestyle Medicine gives us another proven approach to treat heart disease and supports our ongoing mission to provide the best possible care and treatment to our community."
Ornish Lifestyle Medicine is based on more than three decades of research showing that the progression of coronary artery disease and other chronic conditions can be treated and reversed through lifestyle changes. The program, Dr. Ornish's research and Dr. Ornish himself have been featured widely in the national media, including stories in Newsweek, TIME, U.S. News & World Report and The New York Times.
Ornish Lifestyle Medicine participants attend 18 four-hour group sessions over a nine-week period. Each session can accommodate approximately 15 individuals who focus on improvement in four key areas: exercise, stress management, nutrition and group support. The program is facilitated by a dedicated six-person team that includes a medical director, program director, nurse case manager and experts in stress management, behavioral health, fitness and nutrition. These experts help participants to take control of their treatment by providing them with the knowledge, training and community resources to sustain a healthier lifestyle. Many participants maintain contact with their group and continue to be a part of the Ornish community after the program ends.
The program will be offered at the Cardiovascular Center of Marin located at 2 Bon Air Road, Suite 100, Larkspur, CA 94939. The first group begins their sessions today, June 20, 2017.
"My vision has always been to sustainably transform lives for the better by making simple lifestyle choices," said Dr. Ornish. "Participants in this program feel like they get their life back – they have more energy, less stress, more emotional support and greater physical endurance. I am excited to work with the Cardiovascular Center of Marin to bring this program and its benefits to their community."
The Cardiovascular Center of Marin is offering the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine through well-being leader Sharecare. Dr. Ornish partnered with Sharecare to bring his innovative, evidence-based approach to health systems across the United States in response to growing demand from consumers and providers for approaches that address the underlying causes of disease through lifestyle changes. Ornish Lifestyle Medicine is reimbursed by Medicare and other commercial payers for qualified individuals.
To determine whether you may be eligible for Ornish Lifestyle Medicine at the Cardiovascular Center of Marin, please contact 415-927-6177. For more information on Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, visit www.ornish.com or call 877-888-3091.

You'll learn yoga postures for stretching and strengthening; breathing techniques for energizing and relaxing all within the comfort of your home! Who knows? Maybe even in your PJs! I will teach you how to balance better, breathe better, stand taller, and hopefully find some quiet in the chaos. You can use simple things around your house as "props" to help you every now and then. A yoga mat is helpful, but DON'T BUY ANYTHING! You can practice yoga with nothing but yourself. I'll show you how. No experience is necessary. My classes are gentle and suitable to all, even if you are doing the whole practice sitting on a chair. Beginners welcomed and encouraged. Bring your beautiful body to yoga!
Sponsored by the Friends of the Avon Library.
Please register ONCE for the entire series, even if you cannot attend each session. A Zoom link will be sent by the instructor before class.
About our instructor, Leslie Gordon, E-RYT-500

text: Put In Bay Island in Ohio was the setting for the 2012 USA Turner Reunion kindly organised by John Ruth who attended with his father Kenneth in Johns Turner MK3 (63/592) I understand the event was a huge success and greatly enjoyed by all in attendance and activities included a ralley as the road cars toured all-round the island which included a photo stop on the grounds of the island light house with Lake Erie in the background. The ralley took in curvy lanes, with a section of rolling roads along the lake shore where the cars bottomed out a few times due to some lively motoring, In the race event Greg Kozuhowski in his ex-Sebring Fred Lieb 950S was the recipient of the JACK TURNER CUP for the best placed Turner , Greg and 30/182 put on a fine show for the crowds at Put In Bay , John reported that the air field was not the smoothest surface in the world, though Greg and the durable 950S put in times that allowed the car to push through the field and capture 1st overall in Group 1. ''The car could be seen bounding down the taxi-way, and no doubt the ride was a rough one, leaving the Turners remarkable suspension to work that much harder''. John himself had a chance to drive Greg's 950S on the Put In Bay village streets and was most impressed with the potent machine with a BMC A Series engine build by Wally Hicks. Other activities included a group meal and group photographs of cars and owners together wearing commemorative reunion polo shirts. Cars in attendance were John and Kenneth Ruth MK3 (63/592) Jay Doumaux MK3 (65/624) David and Barbara Lewis 950S (30/327) Matt McClurg (30/183) Greg Kozuhowski and Wally Hicks 950s (30/182) Elaine & J.J Rodman (60/414), Also joining the celebrations from Canada without cars were Frank and Helen Murphy (30/195, 60/327, 60/416) The Turner Register would like to thank John on behalf of all who attended and enthusiasts worldwide for all his efforts co-ordinating the event, and I understand plans are already underway for 2013 which could well see the reunion head out East to Connecticut - Watch this space!

text: Non-financial reporting by German companies has long been a voluntary matter. As of fiscal year 2017, the CSR Directive Implementation Act makes it mandatory for some 500 large German companies. This article identifies the trends and developments in voluntary reporting based on an analysis of the quality of sustainability reports published by German companies from 2014 and 2015. The number of stand-alone sustainability reports and integrated reports is increasing and companies are orienting, in particular, on the guidelines provided by the Global Reporting Initiative. We find that there is room for quality improvements. Moreover, we show that many reports from companies that are new to reporting are still incomplete in terms of content. We additionally conduct an analysis of non-financial information presented by 522 German companies during financial year 2015 or 2016 that are now subject to reporting requirements starting with financial year 2017. The study shows that many reports still need further development to meet the requirements of the CSR Directive Implementation Act. Specifically, a more rigorous selection and linking of financial and non-financial information is necessary while other areas for improvement include the descriptions of the policies in use for tracking the relevant matters as well as for handling of risks. The analysis of the current non-financial information also shows that the quality and depth of sustainability-related information is generally greater in stand-alone reports oriented to frameworks such as the GRI4 or the German Sustainability Code than in management reports.

This presidential election in Ohio is clearly going to shatter all previous records for turnout. By the time the polling places open on Nov. 3, over half of Ohio voters will have already cast early ballots, either by absentee ballot or in person at county boards of elections.
About 193,000 Ohioans went to their county boards last week to cast a ballot. That's three times as many as four years ago at the same point. And the boards of elections received nearly 2.5 million requests for absentee ballots - more than twice as many as had been requested at the same point in 2016.
WXVU Senior Political Analyst Howard Wilkinson spoke with WVXU's Jay Hanselman about how the state and county election officials are dealing with the massive number of votes cast so far and expected to be cast by Election Day.

Ken Eriksen, 2020 Olympic Coach, has some wise advice for new coaches: Be a teacher first and a coach second.
As a coach, your primary job is to get to know and understand your players. Develop a strong relationship with each and every player where you know them both as a person and as an athlete. A strong relationship foundation will enable you to effectively motivate them, develop their technical skills and keep them passionate about the sport. As a new coach, it's also important to never stop learning from your players, coaching staff and more experienced coaches. Stay eager about the sport and about how you can improve both your own coaching skills and your team's skills.

A domain name is the name that users on the Internet would use to access your website. For example, google.com, ibm.com and woolworths.com.au are all domain names.
Yes, all websites need a domain name.
Yes, there is a cost involved. Usually the domain name cost changed between £10 to £20 but there are premium domain names which will cost more.
You can obtain a domain name ending in .com or better still, one ending in in .co.k (or .org.uk etc.). The domain names ending with .uk are for UK businesses, entities and individuals.
We can definitely assist you with the process of obtaining a suitable domain name.
Certainly. If you have a domain name, we can use that for your new website.
Well, that to a great extent depends on what your site is about and what information you would like to share with your customers or people who are likely to visit your website. A typical small business site would usually contain information about the business, products, services and contact information. So the information required to construct all these different pages for your website needs to be put together by you. Photos and business logo (if available) also go a long way in enhancing the visual appeal of a website.
We can help you with this, however there may be a cost involved. We can take your highlights (well, you need to provide us the main points at least!) and write up suitable content for the website page. Alternatively, you could engage a professional writer to put the text content together for you.
It is not mandatory to have a logo. If you have one, we can incorporate that in to the website. If you don't have a logo but would like to get one, we can help (additional cost).
All website content that you provide us must be in soft copy. That is, the content must be computer readable and ready to use. If you only have printed copies (and not computer soft copy) of content that you would like to use on the website, the process becomes a bit more complicated for us. The content may have to be scanned and converted before it can be used. If this is required for your website, additional charges will apply.
Photos and images must also be computer soft copy files. If you only have printed copies of photos, then we need to make the effort of scanning these. Providing us printed photos/images for use on your site may incur additional charges.
We will only resize or cut/crop photos if required before using it for the website. If more complicated operations like photo editing is required (like removing people/objects from the photo), then additional charges will apply.
SEO is a technique or process that is used to improve the the visibility of your website on the various internet search engines (like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc.).
We will ensure that your website is constructed in line with the best practices of SEO. All the basic optimization rules will be adhered to while we are making your site.
A computer system (usually called a webserver) that is accessible on the Internet will host your website. For a small business it is not worth the expense or the effort in setting up your own webserver. So we use the services of website hosting companies that would often host websites for their many customers.
We build websites on all different platforms For Example – Wordpress, Woo Commerce, Custom PHP, etc. We have over 10 years of experience in website development.
Yes, we can redesign your existing site or do it from scratch. Generally we suggest our clients to do it from scratch as that will give the website a much better look.
It is hard to say something before we know what you need. If you already have a website or you have the complete plan in mind we will understand the nature of your business and give you a complete plan. Our Prices would start from as little as £350.00. You can check our affordable packages for web design here.
We will need to know minimum about your business, your colour choices, your logo and contact information and which pages will be on your website so that we can prepare a draft to present to you.
The time it takes to produce a website depends on the size and complexity of your site. At average a 5-7 paes website would take 3 weeks but this time mostly relies on how quickly we receive feedback from you and also the content required for websites.
All our websites are responsive and works fine with all mobile, laptop, ipad and tablets.
At the moment we don't have this service available.
Yes. We have a number of options for setting up an e-commerce website, including integration with popular payment providers like PayPal, WorldPay or Sage Pay.
Yes, you own the website and you can make changes at any time if you wish. We use mainly Wordpress to create our websites which has a very strong Content Management System to let users to update the pages.
A content management system (CMS) helps you to update the contents, images on your website without any additional software or technical skill. While using a CMS, you can add new pages, upload images and be in full control of your site - all you need is a web browser and an internet connection.
Yes, we do! We have talented and experienced content writers to help you to get your message across simply and directly to your customers. It is an extra work and will cost depending on the size or number of pages.
Yes, we sure can. We can design a unique logo for your business.
Yes. We can always talk to you on the phone and understand your business and communicate via email or phones to finish your website.
The website comes to you at a 1 time cost. After the first year you only have to renew the domain and hosting which is usually between £150 to £250 depending on the number of domains and pages on your website.

New UL Requirements Take Effect in 2007
© 2006 Door & Access Systems
New UL Requirements Take Effect in 2007 If you install fire doors with release devices, the rules of the game will change on Jan. 1, 2007. UL 864, the Underwriters Laboratories standard that applies to these devices, has been revised to reflect changes in industry practice, revisions to codes, and technological advancements. The most important change in the ninth edition of UL 864 is that all release devices must include a battery backup. This can be provided by the device's own integrated battery backup system or through the fire alarm panel. Here are some common questions and answers about the newly revised UL 864. Are manufacturers ready to offer release devices that meet the new requirements? Generally, yes. Over the past two years, manufacturers have been redesigning their products to conform to the new standard. Devices that were manufactured to the eighth edition of UL 864 can be sold and installed after the December 31, 2006, deadline, but only until inventories are exhausted. Does the revision specify the kind of battery backup required? A basic release device without battery backup must be powered from a UL 1481-regulated power supply with battery backup. In most cases, this will be the fire alarm control panel, which is required to have a battery backup system. Does this mean that I must coordinate installation with the fire alarm installer? In this case, yes. The fire alarm installation company will need to run power and alarm leads to the area(s) where the basic model will be installed. You should note that this will cause the fire door to drop on any false alarm. What happens in the case of a fire drill? Will the release device be activated and drop the door? It shouldn't. Typically, fire alarm panels (like those used in schools) have a drill or evacuation switch that activates only the notification circuit that triggers strobes, horn/strobes, etc. This type of fire drill should not cause the door to drop. What happens in the case of a false alarm, such as when a person activates an alarm pull station? When an alarm is activated, the new UL revision mandates that the alarm input cannot be cancelled or reversed. So, when a non-battery backup model is put into alarm, it cannot be prevented from causing the door to drop. If you are installing a release device in a place where false alarms are a concern, it's best to choose a release device that has its own integrated battery backup system. Are there any other important new requirements? Yes. All release devices must provide alarm and trouble relays that connect to the fire alarm control panel. These relays provide an indication of when the release device is either in an alarm state or inoperable (in a trouble condition). The relays are not required to be attached to the alarm panel unless the local code or the authority having jurisdiction, such as the inspecting fire marshal, requires it. Are there unique requirements for a release device that is used to control a motor operator? A release device used with a commercial door operator can also be installed to stand alone from the fire system. The alarm and trouble relays mentioned above are also present in this model. Unlike the battery backup model for non-motorized applications, this model can only be powered from 120 VAC. To accommodate higher voltages and three-phase power, a transformer is available as an option.

Google's Pixel 6 series will return to flagship status after the disappointing Pixel 5 from last year. That's what several leaks said so far, and Pixel leaks are usually accurate. The phones leak well in advance of Google's annual press conference that takes place around early October each fall. The same goes for the Pixel 6 series, although the leaks haven't been as numerous so far. Google managed to prevent some of the rumors, but we still have plenty of Pixel 6 information. We think we know the Pixel 6 codenames and their final designs. We know they're running on Google's custom processor (Whitechapel) and that the Pixel 6 Pro will feature a triple-lens camera on the back. Now, a new Pixel 6 specs leak gives us even more details about the two handsets. It also reveals an exciting feature that's been available only on iPhones until now.
The Pixel 6 specs
After leaking the Pixel 6 design a few weeks ago, Jon Prosser is back with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro specs in a new report. A "very trusted source" revealed that both Pixel 6 phones will use the same custom Google SoC and support Wi-Fi 6E and 5G connectivity. Both will be AER Certified as well. As you can see below, they'll feature similar specs, with the Pixel 6 Pro generally sporting the better hardware.
The larger Pixel 6 phones will pack a bigger battery, more RAM, more storage options, and a third lens (telephoto camera). But the Pixel 6 will feature an AMOLED screen compared to the Pixel 6 Pro's Plastic OLED.
Google Pixel 6 (Codename: Oriel)
Screen size: 6.4″
Display: AMOLED
Rear camera setup: 50MP (Wide) + 12MP (Ultra wide)
Front camera: 8MP
Battery: 4614mAh
Processor: Google
Ram: 8GB
Storage: 128GB / 256GB
OS: Android 12Google Pixel 6 Pro (Codename: Raven)
Screen size: 6.71″
Display: Plastic OLED
Rear camera setup: 50MP (Wide) + 48MP (Tele) + 12MP (Ultra wide)
Front camera: 12MP
Battery: 5000mAh
Processor: Google
Ram: 12GB
Storage: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB
OS: Android 12
The best possible rumor
The Pixel 6 specs are in line with other 2021 Android flagships. They should deliver a significantly improved performance, especially compared to the Pixel 5. This also means the Pixel 6 models might be slightly more expensive than what fans will expect. But that's the price you need to pay for a flagship.
That's what makes Prosser's final remark about the Pixel 6 even more exciting. According to his source, Google is committed to at least five years of software updates for both Pixel 6 phones. That's something unseen on Android before. Not even Google's earlier Pixels get that many years of software upgrades.
The rumored feature would put the Pixel 6 series on par with iPhones. Apple is the only company to support old hardware for at least five years after launch. The 2015 iPhone 6s series will still run this year's iOS 15. Some features will not be available to the older handsets, but they'd still get most iOS 15 upgrades.
Paying more cash for a Pixel 6 device with high-end specs and a five-year Android update window would make a lot of sense. That said, we're only looking at a rumor right now. Hopefully, Google will confirm the news this fall.

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
To make this delectable banana bread, you'll need three large bananas, eight tablespoons of butter, one cup of light brown sugar, one large egg, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, one teaspoon of baking soda, and your desired amount of chocolate chips. Once you've preheated your oven to 350 degrees, combine the dry ingredients. You'll then want to melt the butter, adding salt until combined nicely. Next, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. You're now ready to start mashing your bananas. Finally, add your flour mix to the wet ingredients, and bake for 45 minutes.
Italian Meatballs
With one pound of ground beef, one pound of pork, three cloves of garlic, two cups of bread crumbs, two eggs, one teaspoon of black pepper, and four teaspoons of salt, you can make the perfect Italian meatballs.

Panasonic air conditioner are efficient and reliable
It is mid-year and the atmosphere is beginning to hot up again. Rooftop fans no longer seem to give any mitigation. This is where you start thinking about purchasing an air conditioner. There are different sorts of them open in the market like the window air conditioner, the central air conditioner, the split air conditioner and the adaptable air conditioner. Everything considered of the apparent multitude of different sorts the reduced air conditioner will work out the most economical. Right when the atmosphere gets incredibly hot you feel that you should present air-conditioners in each room. For this you would either should have central air forming system which can wind up being expensive. This is the spot you will find the upsides of having a smaller unit.
The minimized devices are definitely not hard to move from space to room ensuring that you remain cool in which each room you are. These units are in like manner easy to present and don't need any alterations in within your home. When needing to buy an air forming that is minimal, guarantee that it isn't close to nothing, since the size influences its cooling inside a room. Unmistakable air-conditioners have different features so look for one that will suit all of your essentials. An enormous number of these advantageous devices moreover go with dehumidifiers and a two-way faltering fan that comes in incredibly significant. Minimal units are good for your home, anyway for work environments and homerooms in addition. They give almost as much cooling or warming like a window or central air forming structure.
One of the drawbacks is that it can cool humbler domains when diverged from the standard fixed systems. Additionally, it similarly makes more racket than the air-conditioners that are fixed and you can try this out https://thegioidieuhoa.com/dieu-hoa-dan-dung/dieu-hoa-panasonic/. One more point against advantageous contraptions is that you may need to keep throwing out the water that is conveyed as they cool. This doesn't happen in a fixed system where there is an outlet tube through which the water streams outside the home. These systems are not incredibly difficult to keep up either, as their channels can be conveniently cleaned or replaced. You scarcely experience any money in endeavouring to keep up such a contraption. Whatever model that you buy they are typically between 29 to 36 inches and are interminably under 100 pounds in weight making it accommodating for you to use.

We set out on our day to day routine with one sole protected via our "SP11 PLUS+" [right shoe shown above], and the other just bare back [left shoe above] just like the day it left somewhere inside a Nike/Jordan Brand assembly line which it originally came from.
How many wears do you think until it is the point of no return? How many wears can your sole handle before it begins to show age, yellow, and lose its luster?
The answer is ONE.... Which might come as a surprise to many who for whatever reason choose not to use protection, but it is just the simple fact.
We did not do any weird, over the top, strenuous walks with our pair of Win Like 82 XI's. What we did do is what the vast majority of people will be doing once they got a pair.
We were minding our own business stepping throughout the day, heading into the office, running errands, meeting with friends, and occasionally going out into the town during a fun evening retreat. Normal day to day life stuff that most of us will be doing while wearing our favorite new release.
By this point in the week you should already have your pair! If you purchased at a store directly or if you chose expedited shipping. Which also means that if you made the mistake of skipping on protection you will already see some bad stuff happening.
If you haven't made the mistake of not using protection or still waiting on standard shipping to make its way to you we have the solution!
Make sure to equip a "SP11 PLUS+" and forget about tip toeing around trying to fight it, just use protection and go anywhere!

Cast: Sadia, Aadil Khan, Faisal Simon
Directors: Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Producer: Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Dear Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Since your film celebrates the letter-writing skills of its hero Shiv Kumar Dhar, I was also inspired to write one.
The displacement of 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits who were turfed out of their homes and turned into refugees in their own country, is a subject that touches many of us. So it's heartening that you chose to film what happened in the beautiful valley in January, 1990.
It was also heartwarming to be introduced to Kashmiriyat, the unique culture of the Kashmiris. A wedding in Srinagar with the bridal couple in traditional wear, a married woman with the typical long earrings, shikara or boat rides and friendship that once existed between different communities are compulsory visuals. And you've followed it with textbook precision.
As writer-editor-director, you do have a few excellent scenes that bring out the heart wrench of being forced to leave your home and flee with your family. And there is one shot of Benazir Bhutto's provocative speech that set Kashmir on fire.
But after that, why did I get the feeling that this was like a noble thought which didn't know which way to head?
I guess it was because instead of forcefully spotlighting the ethnic cleansing that killed, raped, tortured and threatened an entire community, the focus shifted to Shiv and Shanti. A Kashmiri Pandit couple that doted on each other all through 30 years of marriage and mourned the death of Kashmiriyat. It thus turns into a love story where the husband does everything to make her dream of seeing the Taj Mahal come true. In the bargain, the genocide becomes more a backdrop to their romance than the fulcrum of the film.
With Shiv writing letters to a string of American Presidents, one wonders why there's an attempt to deflect from the harrowing human tragedy and pin the blame for this Hitlerian ethnic cleansing on American guns and Pakistani militants.
But when one sees the credits where politicians like Mehbooba Mufti are thanked, one begins to understand that you Vidhu were walking a tightrope where you didn't want to come out and whole-heartedly narrate the plight and flight of the Pandits. By thanking the very politicians who allowed this genocide to happen on their watch, the Kashmiri Pandit gets shortchanged again.
Cinematically, is the story of Shiv and Shanti strong enough to veer away from the genocide and hold the viewer's interest? Unfortunately, a painfully slow pace and music without melody, doesn't ignite the romance either.
On the other hand, it is poignant when you Vidhu tell us at the end that Shikara is a tribute to your mother Shanti who passed away without ever going home to Kashmir again. And you do make up for many lapses with that brilliant last line where Kashmiri kids curiously glimpse at Shiv Kumar because they've never seen a Kashmiri Pandit in their lives.
Yours truly,
Bharathi Pradhan
Verdict: For a film that doesn't quite do justice to the ethnic cleansing of the Kashmiri Pandit, Shikara gets a 2.5* rating.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has shown a proclivity over the years for hiring coaches directly from the college ranks. Randy Fichtner would be the most prominent example. An original hire from his inaugural season, he has moved from wide receivers coach to quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator.
The latest college hire was Matt Canada, who has a length college resume at a number of institutions, brought on board this year to take over the quarterbacks coach position, but he is only one of a handful of players hired in the past few years who have a similar story, like Tom Bradley.
And when you get those coaches, you also have a tendency to get players with whom they were connected at one point or another. Eddie Faulkner, for example, was hired last season as running backs coach. He had spent the past several seasons at NC State, where he coached Jaylen Samuels, whom they drafted the year before.
This year, the Steelers added another player with whom Faulkner worked at the college level, though even further back in his timeline. That would be Derek Watt, the team's new fullback, heading into his fifth season after signing a three-year contract to leave the Los Angeles Chargers.
Faulkner only spent one season at Wisconsin prior to leaving for NC State, back in 2011, but that overlapped with Watt's rookie season there, but the middle Watt brother actually redshirted that season. His on-field time would come between 2012 and 2015 before being selected in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Chargers.
So Faulkner will have two players in his room with whom he has worked before in some capacity. While Canada is only the quarterbacks coach, he also has multiple players on the team that he has worked with, including James Conner, the team's starting running back, Derwin Gray, a lineman from Maryland when Canada was interim head coach there in 2018. Karl Dunbar is also coaching Isaiah Buggs, whom he coached at Alabama.
Does this mean anything? Well, no, not a lot, necessarily, but especially when it comes to younger players, it does make things a bit easier on them, knowing that they have someone in their corner. During his rookie season a year ago Buggs admitted that having Dunbar was of aid to him.

There are many advantages to betting at a sportsbook. These benefits include: Sign-up bonuses, free bets and offers. Choosing the right sportsbook is essential to your success. The key to selecting a sportsbook is to understand the different aspects of a sports betting site. Then, you can choose from a wide range of betting options. Read on to discover the advantages of sports betting! Hopefully, you will find the right sportsbook for your gambling needs!
Signing up for an account with a sportsbook can be difficult, so it is helpful to know what kind of customer service you can expect. Sportsbook customer support should be available around the clock, which can be particularly helpful if you encounter technical issues or security concerns. You should check the sportsbook's customer service ratings to find out what kind of support they offer. You should also be sure that they offer a wide range of payment methods, such as credit cards and PayPal.
Sign-up process
If you're new to sports betting, you should research the sign-up process for sportsbooks before choosing one. You can register for an account by entering your name, a nickname, or some other combination of letters and numbers. Make sure your username is memorable, as you won't be able to change it later. It's a good idea to use different usernames for different sportsbooks so you don't end up using the same one for both.
Deposit bonuses
Deposit bonuses at sportsbooks are great ways to test the waters before putting your money on the line. Most deposit bonuses are available to new users, and must be entered during registration. They are usually valid for new users only, and may only be available in certain countries. Sportsbooks that offer mobile apps also often offer deposit bonuses. Be sure to check the fine print on the bonus you're considering before signing up. Here are a few things to look for when considering a deposit bonus.
Free bets
If you have never bet on a sporting event before, you may be wondering whether free bets at sportsbooks are a good idea. First of all, you should keep in mind that free bets are generally of little value. Most offer only $5 to $10, and higher free bet offers require you to make a deposit first. Moreover, most free bets come with terms and conditions. Here is a quick rundown of some of the most common terms and conditions for free bets at sportsbooks.
Reward programs
Signing up for a sportsbook reward program can help you increase your ROI and win more bets. Rewards are not just free bets, but can also offer additional bonuses and perks. For instance, some reward programs offer penny-per-bet bonuses, which can mean the difference between a profitable session and a losing one. Cashback bonuses vary from sportsbook to sportsbook depending on their payout policy and the wagering habits of their players. Some sportsbook reward programs have restrictions, and you should always check them out before committing to a loyalty program.
Connotations of bets
While a standard straight bet is a wager made on the winning team, many sportsbooks also offer exotic bets. These bets, which are commonly used in horse racing, include trifecta bets and superfecta bets. In addition to the common straight bet, exotic bets are also called prop bets, special bets, and prop bets. In general, a bet is made within the agreed-upon odds, and the sportsbook takes the bet. However, it is important to note that betting on the favorite team usually involves sacrificing points on the money line or spread.

Rescue crews honored for saving man pinned under truck for 2 days
Published at | Updated atIDAHO FALLS — Members of the Idaho Falls Fire Department and Bonneville County Sheriff's Office were honored by the American Red Cross for saving a man trapped under a truck for two days.
The deputies and firefighters were deemed "East Idaho Real Heroes" during a ceremony at the Waterfront at Snake River Landing March 7.
Joe Rightmire was pinned underneath his pickup truck in a remote part of Bonneville County for 48 hours last August. He had rolled down a ravine and ended up unable to move while his head was partially submerged in water and sharp sticks were jabbing into his scalp.
"I was adamant that I was going to die because I wasn't sure if anyone was looking for me," Rightmire said after being rescued. "I was screaming and crying, trying to get someone's attention, and where my truck was you wouldn't have been able to see me or hear me."
After two days, Joe's sister, Tasha, became concerned that her brother wasn't home or picking up his phone.
She and some friends set off to look for him and, miraculously, found his truck.
"It was fairly remote – dirt roads to get there, no cell service, no radio service," recalls Idaho Falls Firefighter Connor Cook. "It was just a complicated dynamic."
Cook and his partner, firefighter Jeff Hardy, were first to arrive on the scene. They admit they didn't know how to free Rightmire and had never seen anything like it.
"He was asking for help but how he was positioned in the vehicle, it was very muffled and he only had just a corner of his mouth," Hardy tells EastIdahoNews.com.
Nothing was supporting the underside of the truck and the top was lying against dirt and mud, so any sudden movement could result in disaster.
The firefighters called for extrication equipment and additional help from the fire department and Bonneville County Sheriff's Office arrived.
"This is the most complex rescue I've seen in 20 years. I've never seen an extrication or a situation like this," says Idaho Falls Battalion Chief Lance Johnson.
Bonneville County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Vasquez was at his home barbequing when he heard the call on the radio. He jumped in his truck and headed for the foothills.
"We've never trained for anything like that. Either us or the fire (department)," Vasquez says. "I was calling for ropes, I was calling out for shovels, handyman jacks – everything that was inside my truck that we could use to try and free up the truck that was pinning him."
For two hours, fighting the setting sun, rescuers worked to free Rightmire.
"The hardest part is he was like, 'Please don't leave me, don't let me go, don't let me die here,'" Cook says.
Rightmire remembers Hardy holding his hand the entire time and assuring him that things would work out.
Finally, after inserting large airbags under the truck, crews slowly raised it off of the injured man.
"We were able to push against the truck with the side of the bank of the creek and it pushed it up and away from the victim and we actually brought him through the windshield out his door," Vasquez says.
Rightmire was flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center where doctors diagnosed him with a broken collarbone, serious bruising, a hurt ankle and other injuries.
But, just days later, he was well enough to hold a news conference where he publicly thanked the rescue crews who saved him.
"I can't give these guys enough gratitude for getting me out of there and making sure I was OK," Rightmire said, wiping tears from his eyes. "They were heroes, and they thought quick, and as the airbags lifted up, I could move my head."
Firefighters and law enforcement officers deal with life and death situations every day, but this is a call, and a young man, these responders will likely never forget.
"To see him and to talk with him and just the minor, minor injuries – it was just incredible when you think about it," Hardy says.
Cook adds, "We were like whatever it takes. If he lives, if he dies, whatever it takes – we will get him out."
Man honored for lifetime of donating blood
Patron jumps into action, saves man who collapsed at local gym
Firefighter honored for saving colleague from suicide
Deputy, honored for his actions, had no idea he had been shot by wanted suspect
Melaleuca honored by Red Cross for charitable giving
Mother honored for carrying injured dog down mountain
Ammon city workers honored for saving man after he drove into a canal full of water
Man honored for saving a sobbing toddler darting between traffic on a 60 mph road

Part Of My Honeymoon To Thailand And Laos
Ok, I have been lurking on this site almost since inception and thought now would be as good a time to contribute as any. Here goes:
I got married to my long-time Laotian girl friend here in America in early 1996. I met my future wife in 1990 at University. We finally made the plunge to officially marry in early 1996. She is Laotian, her family emigrated here in 1980 after having escaped Laos in the night, and having lived for two years in a Thai refugee camp.
So much of what I read on this sight I find very humorous about life experiences, morals, thoughts and behavior of dating and marrying a Southeast Asian women. My wife was a teenager when she arrived, so there are strong Southeast Asian tendencies in all that she does. As an example, when were dating, and she was in her twenties already, she mentioned that if I intended on taking the relationship any further I would be discussing both a dowry and marriage with her folks! This is in America in the 90's! Of course, being a quick thinker I mentioned that if I did not like the goods, I would get a prompt refund? Amazingly, only one of us found this funny!
Ok on with the story.
We decided that for our honeymoon we would visit Thailand and Laos and visit relatives and friends from her youth.
At that time there was a lot of nervousness about going to Laos, the media reports on the country were few and far between and the U.S. State department report was not exactly glowing. Lastly, the family was a little concerned for us because when they left the country there were disappearances, imprisonments and general bad things happening to people the government did not like. The family did have an uncle over there that they sponsored in America for a 6 month visit for him to make some dollars. He spoke some English, so while my wife is fluent in both Lao and Thai, having some back up for me and my horrible language skills was something I was looking forward to.
In another submission I will go over the Thailand part of our trip. After we spent about ten days in and around Bangkok with family and friends we headed over to the airport and on to Vientiane, Laos. We departed Thai Airways on a Boeing 737 with probably at least 120+ people on board. The mix of people on the airplane was interesting, dark short Asians (Lao) short lighter Asians (Thai) really tall very white westerners (Scandinavians, almost all part of NGOs), three or four drugged out looking backpackers that I assumed were making for the golden triangle and one mixed race couple (my wife and I).
After an uneventful hour and a half flight we landed at the Vientiane international airport. At that time the airport really resembled no more than an oversized barn. Stairs where rolled up to the back and front of the airplane. We sat near the back of the plane, so we deplaned from rear most exit. As we got out in to the Southeast Asian sun, I looked over a landscape with parts of planes sitting in the ditches bordering the runway along with some dubious looking Russian aircraft leaking fluids onto the tarmac.
We lined up with the other passengers and started to make our way double file to the terminal building. As we started to walk, a whistle was blown and their was some shouting. We looked in the direction of the whistle, to our left, and saw a man in a highly decorated uniform standing with soldiers carrying AK's on either side of him. The soldier in the middle started to yell and everyone stopped. In very short order my wife mentioned that he was yelling for us. I of course asked if she was sure, maybe it was another mixed couple! He yelled again and she was sure it was for us. So, we walked the 50 or so yards to meet him. He asked for our paperwork which I knew was in order. We promptly handed over our passports, visa, and Lao Embassy stamped documents. While this was going on I noticed that everyone in line was now actively looking away from my wife and me.
One of the soldiers took our paperwork and double timed it into the terminal. By now there was a tractor with carts attached to it unloading the bags from the plane. We stood in front of the lead soldier in dead silence, slowly sweating in the outdoor sun really stressing out. As soon as the bags were unloaded, he again blew his whistle, the tractor and bags drove directly to us. Soldier number two gave his AK over to the main guy and we were told to identify our bags and soldier number two began hurling bags onto the ground in search of our luggage. Soon enough our two over stuffed bags were retrieved. Soldier number one was back out to assist with dragging our bags to a separate part of the terminal building.
As we stood there, my thoughts were as follows; oh shit, something was put in our bags in Thailand or was being put in our bags in the terminal for a "surprise" inspection "we are going to jail", two, we had an open itinerary and no-one new our exact arrival date, damn we are boned "we are going to jail", and then three I know the father worked for some American Company during the Vietnam war making runways out by the Vietnam boarder region I wonder if they somehow new that. "we are going under the jail".
With the bags retrieved we followed the soldiers into a different area of the terminal separated by a glass wall/partition from where the other travelers were being processed into Laos. Again, it was painfully apparent that the other travelers were working hard to not notice us through the glass wall. Lots of staring at flip flops when I looked over in their direction.
After about 10 of the longer minutes of my life a man walked in with a black suit and black bowler type hat, with a stamp in his hand, soon followed by soldier number 3 with our paperwork. With little fanfare our paperwork was stamped and we were escorted outside to our awaiting bags already with our uncle and his trucks! He had paid for expedited service through the airport. Son of a bitch! Everyone was happy to see us, well probably not to see me, but my wife they remembered as a young lady and her family was well thought of and the overstuffed bags were 95% full of stuff for them.
The trucks were loaded and we were on our way to our quarters, everyone except me. I refused to get into the truck until it was agreed, by consensus of course after another 10 minutes that we would stop by the US embassy and register our whereabouts.
If there is any interest, I will relate more of the Lao and Thailand trip.
Stickman's thoughts:
Nice tale! Look forward to hearing more of your adventures on that trip.

- Abstract:
- This autobiographical co-authored essay explores how hate speech wounds within the logic of the Palestine exception, whereby Israel-critical speech is subjected to censorship and silencing that does not affect other controversial speech. Three months after the UK government's "adoption" of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism in 2016, we were subjected to a series of attacks in the media, in the public sphere, and in our workplaces in connection with our Palestine-related activism and criticisms of Israeli policies from years earlier. The crackdown on academic freedom that has overtaken UK universities since 2017 has been widely condemned, but rarely has this story been told from the vantage point of those who were targeted and censored. We document here in detail how the Palestine exception to free speech and academic freedom has damaged academic freedom within the UK and silenced Palestinian voices.

WHEW it's OVER. 2020 that is. There are still many obstacles to climb, but judging from what I saw and encountered from so many entrepreneurs, I know we can do this. So many of you completely amazed me at how you handled the adversity with many of you actually finding ways to better yourselves in areas that you already knew needed improvement. All this, while adhering to guidelines and finding ways to keep not only your clients safe but your employees as well.
Many of our clients were forced to shut down and we knew they would be concerned about securing their businesses from theft and vandalism in regards to not having anyone there for weeks or months at a time. We first began by reaching out and letting them ALL know that we would jump in and make sure all their places were tightened up security-wise and gave them at least a 90 days grace period to pay us. We were prepared to give more and did in some cases, but were surprised to find the majority of them were able to square us up ahead of time. I knew then these guys were doing something special.
I watched so many in the restaurant business find ways to separate their tables, change their entrances and exits to help keep people from passing each other, keep their bars and kitchens clean, work with their staff to follow all safety protocols, and overall adapt to a different way of dining. Many of these places found ways to make delivery a prominent part of their business. Some of my clients in the pizza business thrived because they came out of the gate ahead of the curve already set up for delivery and dine out. Some found ways to speed up their drive-thru by adding kitchen staff and shutting the dining room for efficiency and quality in dine-out products.
I went to wineries that were not allowed to have us stand at the bar in the tasting room for-person tastings. They found workaround ways for us to still safely purchase 4 or 5 tastings with a printable description to read about each wine we tasted. One of my favorites was Veritas that gave us 4 small glass bottles (much like a corcian pill bottle of the past) in a box with a piece of paper that had a QR code on it. Once we snapped the QR code a video of the winemaker came on to explain exactly what we were tasting and the ingredients used to make it as well as listing complementary pairings. Our own private smartphone tasting if you will.
I know we had many businesses close up for good, and I am still upset about that, but for the ones that survived and thrived my hat is off to you. Thank you for showing your entrepreneurial spirit and the grit it took to make this happen. I am proud to have served and learned from you. Keep up the great work and when this thing gets back to normal, I can't wait to see you grow. Don't ever bet against or count the American entrepreneur out as it is a bet you will LOSE. Stay safe everyone and remember to care about each other. Here's to 2021 and new beginnings!

[New Publication] Translation and Social Media Communication in the Age of the Pandemic
Edited By Tong King Lee, Dingkun Wang
Book Description
This collection of essays represents the first of its kind in exploring the conjunction of translation and social media communication, with a focus on how these practices intersect and transform each other against the backdrop of the cascading COVID-19 crisis. The contributions in the book offer empirical case studies as well as personal reflections on the topic, illuminating a broad range of themes such as knowledge translation, crisis communications, language policies, cyberpolitics and digital platformization. Together they demonstrate the vital role of translation in the trust-based construction of global public health discourses, while accounting for the new medialities that are reshaping the conception, experience and critique of translation in response to the cultural, political and ecological challenges in the post-pandemic world.
Written by leading scholars in translation studies, media studies and literary studies, this volume sets to open up new conversations among these fields in relation to the global pandemic and its aftermath.

Coldplay have released two new tracks, "Daddy" and "Champion of the World" from their forthcoming double album Everyday Life.
The first track, "Daddy," comes accompanied by an animated video by Aardman Animations, which was directed by Åsa Lucander. While "Champion of the World" does not come with a video, it does feature a co-writing credit for the writers of "Los Angeles Be Kind" by Owl John, which includes late Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison.
"Scott had a song called 'Los Angeles Be Kind,' which I love," Coldplay frontman Chris Martin explains in a statement. "When I first heard it, I thought it was going to go one way; but it went another. Anyway 'Champion of the World' is the song that came from following the other path, and that's why Scott is a co-writer on this song. Today is also his birthday. So happy birthay Scott and thank you for your beautiful music, wherever you are."
Listen to "Daddy" and "Champion Of The World" below.
Everyday Life is set for release on November 22nd.

Happy New Year, if I haven't said that already. I should have said it when I wrote my New Year's post about my word of the year, Commit. (See here). This year I'm working on committing. To my commitments. So that I actually do the things I want to do. For instance, I'm going to actually *go* to the gym, so that I can follow through on my commitment to get healthy. See how that works? The only problem is how do I get myself to the gym on those nights when I really, really don't want to go. Why, with bribery, of course! Well, sort of. I have to convince my brain that going to the gym has something more to offer me than just boring old getting healthy. And it totally does offer more than that, you know. Thanks to the miraculous technology that we all hold in our hands called a cell phone, that 45 minutes I spend at the gym can be thought of as 45 minutes of watching whatever *I* want on tv, or reading a book for 45 minutes or listening to a podcast for 45 minutes without having to take out my earbuds every 90 seconds so someone can ask me a question. Now, that's 45 minutes that I am seriously looking forward to!
That dude is seriously pumped. That's how I want to feel about going to the gym. To get there, I'm setting myself up with some self indulgent entertainment that I can hold in the palm of my hand, courtesy of Netflix, Amazon and some free podcasts.
What to Watch on Netflix
Gilmore Girls – A Year in the Life – I can't believe I haven't already breezed through this Gilmore Girls reboot. I loved the original show and listening to witty quips passed between Rory and Lorelai would pass the time on the elliptical in a blink!
The Americans – I watched the first episode of the first season of The Americans and I'm definitely intrigued. I love a good spy story and I'm obsessed with Keri Russell's hair. How does hair go from that curly to that straight?
River – This is a British detective/murder mystery and it also involves talking to dead people. Pretty much right up my alley. I've already finished season one and am eagerly awaiting season 2.
Sherlock – I've already watched all of the available seasons for Sherlock, but with a new season about to start on BBC, I'm thinking about binge watching the last season so that it is fresh in my memory. Sherlock is hands down my favorite television show that sadly airs almost never. If you haven't seen it, definitely add it to your list on Netflix!
What to Read
First, a note about how I find new books to read. I am a Bookbub girl all the way and I highly suggest joining this free service. Basically, you pick out what kind of books you like and they send you an email everday with deals on those types of books. It's like a book concierge who only brings you super affordable books. I know I'm missing out on great brand new books that are still super expensive, and I will seek those out and splurge on them occassionally, but my 2 a week book habit requires access to cheap books or I will go broke. Bookbub provides me that!
Missing – Monty Marsden – I'm addicted to crime novels. They are my guilty pleasure. Missing by Monty Marsden is a good one. It hooks you in from the beginning with a good story and interesting characters. This book is set in Italy and for me, one of the best parts of reading is getting transported to a place. This book does that.
The Handmaid's Tale – Margaret Atwood – This should be required reading for every woman right now. It's set in a dystopian future where women are even less valued than they are now. Hard to believe? Read it. You will be more afraid of this book than any of the creepy mysteries I read. I'm not saying this book is where we are headed, but I am saying that I find it more believable than I did on Monday November 6th.
The Drowning Game – L.S. Hawke – So, you're going to want something a little less dense after you finish The Handmaid's Tale. The Drowning Game is a fun, fast paced thriller with young people in it. This will do the trick while you're burning those calories on the treadmill.
Cold Granite – Stuart McBride – This is the first in a detective series that I absolutely adore. They are set in Scotland and you are absolutely there in Aberdeen as you read each book in the series. The characters are people you want to know (or not know, as applicable). I've read the whole series and I'm excited for the new one that will be out in June!
What to Listen To
Ted Talks – I'm a fan of TED Talks. I listen while I'm cleaning to motivational stories, or funny stories or just plain interesting stuff, like, what is CRISPR and why should I care about it? Download the app to your phone and start exploring. Start with "The most popular talks of all time" and you won't be disappointed, then start browsing through categories that interest you. Totally addictive.
The Moth Podcast – The Moth is story telling. Little slices of life that are deeply personal and poignant. The podcast is a re-airing of the The Moth Radio Hour from NPR. I love these.
Fresh Air – Terry Gross – I found Fresh Air by accident. Somewhere after turning 35, I found I couldn't stand listening to music in the car anymore, so I tried NPR. I'm totally hooked on NPR on the whole, but I didn't discover the national treasure that is Terry Gross until fairly recently. Terry is on in the middle of the day (2PM) on my NPR station and that just happens to be right about the time I am driving home. Terry interviews interesting people. Movie directors, tv personalities, authors. I listen to her just about every week day and every time I listen, the interviewee says something like, "Wow, I've never been asked that before" or, "Well, I didn't think I was going to talk about that, but ok". She somehow pulls the humanity out of everyone she interviews. She also tackles big stories like Fake News and the Opiod epidemic. You can find a weekend wrap up on NPR's website to listen to.
Alright, that's a whole lot of A/V content to motivate me to get to the gym! I'm going right now! Just kidding. It's closed. This post took forever. I'm going TOMORROW!

NJ surpasses 4 gigawatts of installed solar power
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities announced that the state recently surpassed 4 gigawatts of installed solar power, enough to provide electricity to over 500,000 households annually. There are now more than 157,000 solar installations statewide; it's expected that capacity will double in the next four years. This is a critical step on the way to achieving Gov. Phil Murphy's goal of 100% clean energy by 2050.
New Jersey will continue to build on the 4-gigawatt milestone by implementing a wide variety of solar programs throughout the rest of 2022. These include the permanent Community Solar Energy program; the Competitive Solar Incentive (CSI) program for grid supply and large net-metered solar; and a dual-use solar pilot program. The BPU will also move forward with its grid modernization proceeding, soliciting ideas for potential improvements to enable faster interconnection and higher levels of distributed energy resource (DER) integration.

Go To ShopHamilton "Panda" Chrono-Matic
Offered here is a beautiful example of the highly desirable "panda" dial (white with black registers) Hamilton Chrono-Matic from the 1960s. These watches utilized the same movements as some of the automatic Heuer Autavias, the famous Calibre 11. This Chrono-Matic is in excellent condition. The case is unpolished and sharp, with normal wear. The dial is gorgeous, with virtually no wear (there is some light patina/spots on the bottom left quadrant of the dial, only visible with a loupe, and very minimal). Finally, the original tritium lume is present on both dial and hands, aged to a golden yellow.
For an excellent write-up on these stellar watches, head over to Fratello Watches here.

Is your shower door covered with ugly hard water spots and soap scum? You're not alone. In fact, a foggy, stained glass shower door is every homeowner's problem. Even if you devote enough time to cleaning shower doors, they still get dirty eventually.
If only there was an effective cleaning solution that could help prevent shower door stains and spots for the long haul.
The good news is, there is such a product. If you haven't heard about it yet, WD-40 could change how you clean and maintain your glass shower doors. While your usual quality bathroom cleaning spray can break down soap scum and kill mold in the shower, WD-40 could be a game-changer for shower doors because it displaces water.
If you're tired of trying to clean water spots and stains on glass shower doors to no avail, find out how WD-40 can clean even the most stubborn water stains and more. But there's a secret – you have to know how to apply WD-40 on the shower door a certain way.
Can You Clean Shower Glass with WD-40?
A clean glass door can make the shower area look and feel more hygienic as it should. And yes, WD-40 can keep your shower glass free of common stains in the shower, from soap scum to hard water spots.
WD-40 is a multipurpose cleaning product that works faster and easier than your typical shower cleaning solutions. It can almost instantly remove anything from dirt and grime buildup, soap scum, water spots, and rust stains on a glass door.
Overall, WD-40 offers quick and convenient removal of almost anything staining your shower glass, keeping it sparkling clean for much longer. Even better, WD-40 is not as harsh as many other cleaning chemicals used in the shower.
Does WD-40 Get Rid of Hard Water Stains on Shower Doors?
Yes, absolutely. WD-40 works on any hard or stubborn stains, including the residue from hard water in your shower. It can eliminate mineral stains inside out and works quickly at dissolving hard water stains as well.
WD-40 contains an abundance of alkane compounds, which boost its effectiveness, especially when it comes to dry cleaning and spot removal. This is why this cleaning product is effective against getting rid of even the most stubborn hard water stains on a glass shower door.
What's even better is that using WD-40 to clean a shower door of limescale will also help prevent water stains from appearing in the glass for at least a couple of months.
Is WD-40 Safe for Shower Glass?
WD-40 is an all-around cleaner, and it's safe to use on your shower glass. It's one of the easiest solutions to maintain a clean and shiny glass door. The alkaline content of WD-40 isn't enough to break the molecular bonds of the glass.
Still, it doesn't mean that you can use it on your shower glass without any precautions. Leaving WD-40 on the shower door for too long wouldn't be a good idea since it could cause more spots and stains to appear.
How to Clean a Shower Door with WD-40
Cleaning shower doors with WD-40 is pretty quick and easy. You can follow these three simple steps when using WD-40 to obtain spot-free and shiny shower doors – spray, wipe, rinse.
Step 1. Spray WD-40 on the Shower Door
No preparations are necessary. Start off by directly spraying an ample amount of the cleaner on the affected areas of your shower door. Remember that WD-40 will only work on places it comes in contact with, so make sure you cover every spot on the glass that needs to be cleaned.
After spraying WD-40 on all stained areas of your shower door, leave the solution alone to work on your stains for 15 to 30 minutes. This will allow the cleaner to work through hard water deposits and stubborn buildups, loosening their bonds and dissolving them in the process.
Step 2. Wipe the Glass with Clean Cloth
Generally, it's important to give the WD-40 solution ample time to do its work. But that doesn't mean it's a spray it and leave it kind of cleaning solution.
Once you've given it enough time to work its magic on the hard water stains and soap scum, always wipe the solution away using a clean microfiber cloth. But if there is still some stain residue, don't hesitate to reapply the solution and use a scrubbing brush instead.
Reapply and scrub affected areas as many times as necessary until the soap scum and hard water stains on the glass disappear completely.
Step 3. Shine the Shower Door with a Final Coat of WD-40
Once you make sure that there are no remaining stains on the glass door, the final step is to wash away the loose dirt. With a bucket full of clean water or by using the showerhead, rinse the shower door thoroughly. Although this step might not be necessary in most cases, as WD-40 doesn't need any rinsing, you might want to wash off any loose dirt and limescale deposits.
And don't forget to dry out the shower door with a clean, dry towel to avoid any more water spots. You can also apply a final coat of WD-40 on the shower door, then wipe it again with a clean cloth to give the glass a good shine.
Safety Tips When Cleaning Shower Doors with WD-40
When using WD-40 for cleaning shower doors, keep these safety tips in mind:
- Keep the shower or bathroom area well-ventilated before spraying WD-40 on the shower door. Open the shower door and window or turn the bathroom fan on to ensure maximum ventilation.
- Put a face mask on before using this cleaning product. You can also use a handkerchief to cover both your mouth and nose to avoid inhaling toxic fumes.
- Wear rubber gloves when handling this product.
- Avoid using rough, hard, or abrasive items when cleaning or scrubbing the shower doors to avoid any damage to the glass surface. Use a microfiber cloth or a brush with soft bristles instead.
Final Thoughts
So, now you know how to clean shower doors with WD-40. Following these three steps – spray, wipe, and shine – through this method, you can get rid of almost any dirt or stains on glass shower doors, including soap scum, rust stains, and hard water deposits.
It's probably the most all-around cleaning product to get rid of stubborn shower stains on a glass door and keep it clean and shiny for months to come. But remember, make sure to take every safety tip when handling this product to avoid any potential danger.

Windows 8, Apps, VLC, VideoLAN, Screenshots
The VLC app for Windows 8 is, undoubtedly, the most anticipated application for Microsoft's newest platform. In development right now, it is nearing its release date in the coming months.
Along with several much-needed features, the app is expected to sport an engaging design utilizing everything the Metro UI (or Modern user interface) of Windows 8 has to offer.
Now, the VLC developers have just given us a look at how things will look once the app is released. A new set of screenshots showing the upcoming Windows RT flavored version of their multimedia player have just surfaced.
The update was provided in a post on the app's Kickstarter page:
"The biggest result is that we have now cut down 90% of our symbols that are forbidden on Metro Mode."
While the team did say that the app is showing what you would call "tremendous progress", no timeframe for release has been provided. But then again, hard to argue with a word like tremendous!
Nevertheless, the screenshots provide a glimpse of what's cooking. As you can see, the interface is high on eye-candy and features a completely touch optimized design. But being a work in progress, expect things to change before the app is released.
You can check out all the screenshots using the link above, and then share your thoughts on what you see in the comment box below.
