Pakistan on Sunday resorted to heavy shelling of mortars in the Hiranagar sector of Kathua District.
The shelling targeted at border village Manyari, caused damage to some houses. However, no casualty has been reported.
Residents of the bordering village expressed concern about the firing at the civilian population and said they have suffered damage to their houses and crops in the incident.
Suresh Kumar, a resident said, "Pakistan is deliberately targeting the civilians here. We do not want the loss of any side. We want peace."
Another resident Kartar Chand told ANI, "Mortars hit the wall of our house. My son escaped somehow while he was sleeping inside the room. Our wall has collapsed and it is a very difficult situation for us."

By Sacha Obaid
It can often seem as if society holds double standards when it comes to attractiveness as people age. Generally speaking, men are more likely to be considered attractive by society as they get older. Many people say that gray hair makes men look distinguished, while it makes women appear "old."
Is this unfair? Definitely! But while society may perceive the way men and women age in a superficial way, there are actually some genuine physical and emotional differences in how the sexes experience aging.
How Aging Affects the Face
One key element of a person's appearance—especially in the facial area—is the collagen content of skin. Collagen is what gives skin its elasticity, helping to prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging. In general, men have more collagen in their skin than women do, and they lose collagen at a constant rate as they age. Women not only have less collagen overall, but they also lose it at a faster rate for several years after menopause. Men's skin also tends to be thicker as a result of higher testosterone levels, which protects it from visible signs of aging.
While these differences are consistent and measurable, they don't necessarily contribute to noticeable differences in appearance between men and women as they age. One reason for this is that women are much more likely to protect their skin with sunscreen, and spend fewer hours in the sun than men.
Both sexes are affected by facial aging, but for different reasons. This may be why men are increasingly likely to undergo certain kinds of cosmetic surgery. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons®, more men are undergoing eyelid lifts and facelifts, as well as non-invasive procedures such as chemical peels.
The Chest and Abdominal Areas
There are some very big differences in how men's and women's bodies age in the chest and abdominal areas. The most obvious difference is that pregnancy and nursing can lead to significant changes in the way a woman's body looks. Pregnancy causes abdominal skin to stretch as the baby develops, and that skin does not always return to its pre-pregnancy state after the baby's birth. Nursing can lead to similar changes in the shape and appearance of the breasts.
This is one major reason why men and women often feel differently about their bodies after they become parents and why women are more likely to undergo plastic surgery. Women whose bodies change drastically after pregnancy may choose, for example, to undergo mommy makeovers to tighten their tummies and reshape their breasts.
Surprisingly, women aren't the only ones who experience changes in their breast tissue during their lives. Boys and men can experience a hormone imbalance that gives rise to gynecomastia, which causes breast enlargement. While this can often be treated with medication, the only permanent solution for some people is liposuction or surgical removal of the enlarged breast tissue.
Men are also more likely than women to deposit fat in the belly area as they get older. While this is largely due to differences in hormone levels, genetics also plays a role in determining where the body stores fat.
Hips, Thighs, and Buttocks
While for men the belly is the area where fat is mostly likely to be stored, for women it's the hips, thighs, and buttocks. However, this changes somewhat after menopause, when most women also begin to store fat in the belly area.
Another major difference that's most noticeable in this part of the body is the presence of cellulite, which is caused by a normal feature of the skin's anatomy that is present in both men and women. However, while 90% of women have cellulite, only 10% of men do. This is because women have thinner skin in the thigh and buttock regions and are more likely to deposit fat in these areas. These two factors combined mean that cellulite is much more common in women.
Personal and Emotional Changes
Just as there are differences between the ways men and women age physically, there are emotional and social differences too. One notable difference is how men and women feel about their appearances as they get older.
In one poll, for example, 33% of women over 40 said they were concerned about the physical effects of aging on their bodies. In the same poll, just 21% of men had similar concerns.
Despite this, women actually fare better than men when it comes to the emotional acceptance of aging. Aside from the concerns over appearance, women are more likely than men to accept and cope with the changes that age brings to the body and are more likely to feel content or fulfilled as they grow older. A study found that women are more likely than men to use emotional coping skills to deal with adverse situations, which may be one reason why women are less likely than men to suffer from depression in old age.
Similarities Between Men and Women as They Age
While there are definite differences between how women and men physically age, the sexes share plenty of similarities too. For example, both men and women tend to gain weight as they get older, and—male-pattern baldness aside—both lose hair as they age. As well as this, both men and women also lose muscle mass as the years pass, although men in general have more muscle mass to begin with.
Another similarity is that both men and women can benefit from a big self-esteem boost by taking advantage of cosmetic surgery procedures that minimize the outward signs of aging. For example, both of the sexes can benefit from procedures such as facelifts and eyelifts to rejuvenate their faces.
Look Good, Feel Good
So how does aging work, and is it different for men and women? While there are some important differences in the way women and men age and experience aging, it's still a fact of life that everyone has to face sooner or later. No matter how you look, feeling good about yourself as you age definitely makes this aspect of life more positive and more fulfilling.

Watch the video from Inside Edition, featuring coverage of the story.
It is no secret that smartphones have become an addiction for most of us, so much so that being without them seems like an impossible task. From November 7 to November 14, one class of first-year students took on the challenge of giving up their smartphones for an entire week in an effort to do what Donna Freitas, PhD, visiting professor of English, calls "unplugging."
The voluntary weeklong experiment was part of a first-year seminar course taught by Dr. Freitas called Life Unplugged (Fight the Feed). Dr. Freitas, author of Unplugged (Harper Teen, 2016) and The Happiness Effect: How Social Media is Driving a Generation to Appear Perfect at Any Cost (Oxford, 2017), is passionate about helping young people form healthier relationships with technology. It was this passion that inspired the theme of her course, which, she said, is "designed to interrupt your current usage and relationship with your devices and your social media platforms and avatars."
To ensure the students weren't tempted to cheat, they turned their cellphones in to officers in Adelphi's Department of Public Safety and Transportation, who held the phones for the duration of the experiment. Dr. Freitas joined in on the experiment by giving up her phone as well.
"I've become more and more concerned by my students' inability to sustain attention," said Dr. Freitas. "I'm interested in them just experiencing life and conversation and relationships without constantly grabbing for their phones." Through this experiment, she hopes her students consider the question, "What does it mean to live constantly interrupted?"
Although students gave up their phones, they were permitted to use other forms of technology, including laptops, desktop computers and tablets.
To prepare for the experiment, students made alternative communication plans with their parents, such as using email, a landline (if they could find one) or designating a friend as an emergency contact. Because many students have relied on their smartphones to wake them up in the morning or check the time, they purchased alarm clocks for their bedrooms.
On the first day of the experiment, a majority of students said they felt anxious about giving up their smartphones. They worried about how they would stay in touch with friends, wake up for their classes or stay busy while in public. Others said they looked forward to being detached from their phones and hoped they'd get more of their schoolwork done without the distraction of text and social media notifications.
At the halfway point of the experiment, the students returned to class to check in with Dr. Freitas about how they were feeling. Some students mentioned moments of withdrawal during the first days of the experiment and described looking for a device to grab or feeling a phantom vibration or notification. But after a day or two, the students expressed that they had come to enjoy the break from their phones. They said living life uninterrupted had positive effects on their lives—they were more productive with their schoolwork, felt more present while with family and friends, saw positive changes in their sleeping habits and felt more relaxed overall.
"It's really refreshing and relaxing," said Adrianna Cigliano, a first-year student. "I was able to fall asleep a lot easier."
On day seven, the students returned to class to be reunited with their phones. When Dr. Freitas asked, "Who is excited to get their phones back?" all hands went up. While the students found the experience worthwhile, they were ready to return to their lives plugged in, but this time with more awareness of how their phones can affect them on a daily basis.
"I originally didn't think I was addicted to my phone, but this class made me realize how much I really am," said first-year student Ashley Castillero. "My screen time is definitely going to go down and I'm going to start to appreciate my surroundings more because usually, I'm looking at my screen all the time."
After students were reunited with their smartphones, they were quickly reminded of how overwhelming these devices can be. When one student-powered her phone back on, more than 200 notifications popped up on the screen. "I just want to turn it back off," she said.
What does Dr. Freitas hope her students consider after the experiment? "I really want them to feel more in control of their usage," she said. "I want them to become users of their phones as opposed to feeling used by their phones."
As students walked back into the world with their phones, she shouted, "Enjoy your phones—try not be zombies!"
The experiment caught the attention of several media outlets, being covered from beginning to end by CBS New York (follow up story), PIX 11 News (follow up story), Newsday and Inside Edition. The story was also shared by Yahoo! News.

Chimney Cleaning
Keeping your house safe.
To ensure a safe operation of your chimney we recommend that your chimneys is swept at least yearly to remove soot/creosote that can cause chimney fires. We now carry out power sweeping as standard, which is an addition to the traditional equipment of rods and brushes which has worked for the past 150 years.
The correct rods and brushes are chosen that best suit the flue type, as incorrect brushes/rods may damage the flue. A word of warning, if your sweep only offers power sweeping there's a high chance he/she doesn't understand chimney construction and if you have a brick flue then they will most likely damage your chimney
Where traditional methods are not as effective specialised equipment is used. We are equipped for large inglenooks and older fireplaces and chimneys found in many listed buildings. The exterior of the chimney, including the pot, will be inspected on every sweep where visible from the ground. The smoke chamber and base of the flue will then be assessed for cracks and breaches in the flue liner. Should a more thorough assessment of the flue be required a camera survey can be carried out upon request.

Manhattan is the neuralgic centre of New York City, the place where everything is going on and the busiest part of the city. This is where all the famous skyscrapers are, such as the Empire State Building, the Bank of America Tower and the Chrysler Building to name but a few. However, you don't need to look up all the time to find the most important building in this part of the city. Grand Central Station is also one of New York's most important landmarks and one that definitely warrants a visit during your stay in New York apartments.
The building was finished in 1871 in Midtown Manhattan, on East 42nd Street at Park Avenue. At first it was called Grand Central Depot and it brought all the big train lines of New York into one station. In 1903, the train station was demolished progressively and was rebuilt once again, with work finishing in 1913, this time a lot bigger and which served a lot more people. The building was an architectural work of art, with sculptures and designs all around and inside it that belonged more in a museum than in a train station, a shame that they couldn't be admired by those busy commuters.
In the mid-20th century, trains were no longer one of the main ways to travel in the United States and Grand Central started to fall into decline, with various plans put forward to demolish the station and build skyscrapers in its place but just as the plans looked like they were going to go forward, the station was named a New York Landmark, partly thanks to the pressure of J.F. Kennedy's wife, Jacqueline. The station was renovated again in 1994 and in 2000 it was a new station once again.
The station doesn't just have two concourses with over 40 platforms in total but it also has some very interesting things inside. One of the most famous ones is Whispering Gallery, which is an arched square where you can stand at opposite corners of it and whisper into the walls and it's heard on the other side, due to the low ceramic arches. Also, another of the features that mostly went unnoticed is the ceiling of the Main Concourse, which is a mural of the stars, although some will point out that it's backwards, since it was painted with the intention of it being seen in the same way God would.
Also, during the last renovation a sculpture of an eagle was placed on top of the entrance of 43rd St and Lexington Avenue, the same eagle which once adorned the initial Grand Central Station in the 19th century. This is just one of the main reasons to visit this station, which has endured through the years and although it's not the busiest station in New York anymore (the title going to Penn Station), it's still the most beautiful one and one of the most important landmarks in the city.
Not everything to see in the Big Apple is up in the sky. Make sure you visit Central Station, its Main Concourse, the Whispering Gallery and all of its attractions when you rent apartments in New York.

My name is Jackie and I'm a self-confessed crazy cat lady. I am a volunteer with Lothian Cat Rescue.
I have always lived with animals around me when growing up including birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs a tortoise and a dog called Sparky.
I never thought of myself as a cat person until I got my first cat Oscar. I watched as a little ball of ginger fluff popped his head of the cat basket and the crazy cat lady was born. When Oscar was nine months old I got Felix from Lothian Cat Rescue. It was a tense few days with them both until I found them cuddled up on the bed together and from then on with only the occasional spat and a bit of fur flying they were the best of friends for the rest of their days.
I now have Ollie who I got as a kitten, from a friends cats unexpected litter and Ozzy another rescue cat from Lothian cat rescue. They are now both 10 years old, but still manage to cause mayhem around the house, but just a little bit slower these days.
Cats will always be part of my life now and I look forward to meeting yours.

This is a wonderfully relaxing video from Lily Whispers ASMR, and it features her fitting the viewer for a pair of glasses. It has lots of whispering, mouth sounds, and little ASMR sounds to really trigger your tingles.
ASMR Video – Ear Cleaning and Hearing Test
This is a wonderfully relaxing ASMR role-play from Rhosgobel Rabbit ASMR. It features everything you've come to expect from a medical ASMR role-play, and has plenty of whispering, ear massaging, light touching, and crinkling. It's a feast of tingles for anyone who enjoys medical ASMR.
Live ASMR | #10 | Whispered Reading | Part 1
While live ASMR can be hit and miss, FatFr33Pudding really did an excellent job with this video. It's about as bare bones as you can get with an ASMR video, but there's something extremely relaxing about being read to by a whispered voice.
ASMR Video – Scratchy Scalp Massage
This is a somewhat muted video – even for ASMR. It features ASMRGains speaking softly, and giving himself a scalp massage. And while there is very little going on in the video, it still somehow manages to work, and is incredibly tingly.
Unintentional ASMR – Woodcarving An Eagle Head
This is a wonderful unintentional ASMR video that features a soft spoken man carving an eagle's head into wood. There are plenty of sounds to trigger your tingles, and the man's voice is incredibly relaxing.
Unintentional ASMR – How to Make Pine Pitch Glue
This is a wonderful unintentional video where the proper way to make pine pitch glue is demonstrated to the viewer. It's nothing but ASMR sounds, and it includes crinkles, tapping, and the relaxing sound of a mortar and pestle.
ASMR Video – Snacks from Israel | Israeli Snacks | Eating Sounds
Most people either love, or hate the sounds of eating, so if you don't enjoy mouth sounds stay away from this video. But if you do enjoy them, this video is filled to the brim with tingle inducing lips smacking, chewing, plenty of whispering.
Unintentional ASMR – Pestle & Mortar crushing Clay & Walnuts
This is a wonderful pure ASMR sound video, and it features almost 30 minutes of a mortar and pestle crushing walnuts and clay. There is no talking in this video, but the sound of the clay and walnuts slowly being ground down into a fine powder are more than enough to trigger a person's ASMR.
ASMR Video – Bedside Care ASMR with Ear Drops
Eardrops are a relatively new phenomenon in ASMR, but they can be extraordinarily relaxing. And Cutebunny992 has incorporated them into a tingle inducing masterpiece, along with her trademark whispers and speaking in Greek. This video is guaranteed to have you in an ASMR coma before it's over.
ASMR Video – Scratching The Mic | Binaural ASMR inside your EARS
This is another relaxing video from one of my favorite ASMR artists, Whispers Red ASMR. In this video, Emma spends nearly the entire length of it scratching her 3Dio mic, and whispering with her trademark relaxing voice. If this doesn't have you in a tingle induced coma by the end of it, you may have lost…

New York State Police News:
Pleasant Valley, NY – Major Michael A. Kopy, Troop K Commander, announced that Troopers issued 1,125 tickets for violations of the state's mandatory seatbelt laws during the May 21 – June 3, 2012, enforcement effort. During the zero tolerance "click it or ticket" enforcement campaign, troopers joined with local police and sheriffs' departments statewide to encourage seatbelt use in advance of the summer travel season.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that seatbelt use alone reduces the risk of fatal injuries by 45% for occupants of passenger vehicles, and by 60% for occupants of pickup trucks, SUVs and vans.
In addition to the 1,125 safety restraint issued by members of Troop K, troopers arrested 60 people for driving while intoxicated and ticketed 899 drivers for speeding.

After two convincing sweeps against Brown and Yale this past weekend, the Tigers have now defeated every team in the Ivy League this season.
The Princeton Tigers (13-3, 7-0 Ivy) landed a monumental achievement this weekend as they clenched their 19thconsecutive set this season in their latest game against Yale.
Princeton stands undefeated in the Ivy League and have claimed a 3-0 sweep in every game so far, with the exception of the season opener against Penn (3-2). This year's season start is almost the polar opposite of last year's, where the Tigers went a shaky 3-4 in the first half of the season but magnificently converted their record into a 10-4 first place finish. There is no doubt now that if Princeton continues at this rate, a second Ivy League title and a spot in the NCAA are very realistic possibilities awaiting it this season.
In their game against Brown (4-13, 2-5 Ivy) on Oct. 14, Princeton took a total of 40 kills against the Bears' 28, and made a total of 6 aces. Once again leading the attack were senior co-captain Cara Mattaliano and freshman Maggie O'Connell with 13 and 12 kills, respectively. Freshman setter Jessie Harris also displayed stellar performance, making 37 of the team's 39 assists. Mattaliano also played a pivotal role in the team's defense with 19 digs, followed by freshman Devon Peterkin's 14.
A similar story played out for the reigning champions in their game against Yale (12-4, 5-2 Ivy) on the following day. What was expected to be a close match between the first and second place teams of the tournament turned out to be an one-sided fixture as the Tigers swept the Bulldogs. The O'Connell and Mattaliano duo once again bagged an astounding 13 and 10 kills with the help of Harris' 33 assists.
"Incoming freshmen have been a really integral part of our success this year," said Mattaliano. "The freshmen play a huge role – they came in with a lot of fire and intensity and really created roles for themselves. They have contributed so much to our success, both on and off the court."
Mattaliano also attributed this season's success to the team's mentality and work ethic, saying they "have really contributed so much. Playing with intensity and passion every single point has been a huge part of our success."
As the only undefeated team in the Ivy League, the co-captain also addressed the team's future directions for the second half of the season. "Last year, a lot of our success was from our underdog mentality. Once we started winning, we were just going for it. That's something we were still able to maintain this season. Now, we are not going to play as if we are in first place. We're going to play every single point to prove that we can do this. We're going to play like the underdogs."
The Tigers hope to continue their momentum this Friday and take a step closer to their goal of winning the tournament and advancing to the NCAA as they host the Quakers in their eighth game of the season.

Healing with Our Hands: A Review of Handle with Care
I wouldn't exactly describe myself as a touchy-feely person. If you give me a 5 Love Languages test, physical affection just barely sneaks into the number three spot. I know I carry internalized messages for how to touch other people, from determining side hugs versus regular hugs to how many seats to leave between myself and strangers on public transportation.

Looks like a pretty even tempo spread this year with 77-78 BPM eeking out a win. From 71-72 BPM there is still a gap in the chain, similar to last year, and from 113-118 BPM is still a very curious drought-land, at least when compared to all the tempos found in Rolling Stone's Greatest 500 Songs of All Time list.
I can't imagine that's pleasant on our canine friend's ears. You might be thinking, "well what about dog whistles?" But dogs don't exactly "enjoy" those sounds, especially if they're used in training (where they'll have preconceived responses to certain frequencies). High-pitched noises are often troubling and anxiety-inducing to dogs.

Minimally invasive thoracic surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancerBMJ 2014; 349 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.g5849 (Published 02 October 2014) Cite this as: BMJ 2014;349:g5849

Surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancer remains the cornerstone of treatment. It allows complete resection of the tumor, accurate staging of the mediastinum, and more appropriate decision making about postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Open thoracotomy for lung cancer resections, however, carries associated risks of morbidity and mortality. Technological advances, such as video assisted thoracoscopic surgical techniques, offer the promise of reduced morbidity and improved surgical outcomes in comparison with open procedures.1
Data from randomized clinical trials evaluating this are lacking, however. One small randomized trial evaluated open versus thoracoscopic mediastinal lymph node dissection in stage I non-small cell lung cancer.2 No differences were observed in the number of lymph nodes retrieved. However, bias inherent in the design of existing published observational reports leaves uncertainty about the comparative effectiveness and safety of thoracoscopic versus open lobectomy.
The linked paper by Paul and colleagues (doi:10.1136/bmj.g5575) goes some way towards reducing this uncertainty.3 The authors used data on Medicare recipients included in the US Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to …

Best Telescopes - Reviewed
1. Zhumell Z100 - (Best under $100)
If your wallet is a little tight, the Zhumell Z100 is the cheapest astronomical telescope one can buy. This telescope is well worth its low price. It may not have all the bells and whistles that other telescopes have, but if you can't afford something more this telescope will definitely do the trick.
The Z100 is perfect for kids, college students, and other newbies who are interested in looking deep into the cosmos.
Eyepieces supplied with the Z100 are a 10mm and 17mm. The 17mm has a little too much magnification for a low power eyepiece. Don't replace it with something else though … you would be spending just as much as on what could be a better telescope.
The Z100 weighs five pounds, and there's a nice built-in handle attached to the side of the mount. When one needs an extremely portable and convenient telescope, the Z100 is your best bet.
The Z100's primary mirror cannot be aligned (collimated). As a result, sharp images are hard to come by. We would certainly recommend spending a little more on a telescope with a collimatable primary mirror as it can make a world of difference in image sharpness.
The Zhumell Z100 is a great choice if you're curious about sky watching, and has amazing value for its price. Whether you're new to the field and not completely sure if you'll become a fan or not yet, or your budget doesn't allow for anything more, you won't regret purchasing this awesome telescope and will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it.
2. Meade Lightbridge Mini 114 (Best between $110 - $170)
Our budget pick for the price range of $110 to $170. This scope has absolutely ridiculous value for its price range.
The Mini 114 offers an extremely wide field of view – 3 degrees with the included 25mm eyepiece and up to 3.7 degrees with an additional wide-field eyepiece – big enough to fit even the biggest deep-sky objects in the sky such as the Pleiades, and making it easy to find almost anything even with the simple included red-dot finderscope.
The included red-dot finder is the weak link of the scope, and you may want to replace it with a Rigel Quickfinder down the line.
The Mini also has fine optics, taking the 50x provided by the supplied 9mm eyepiece with ease and being capable of up to 200x with a shorter focal length eyepiece like a 6mm goldline, which you can buy separately if needed. Don't feel bad about spending a lot on extra accessories – they're worth it with this scope. The scope also includes a 26mm (17x) eyepiece.
The telescope's optical tube comes with a Vixen-style dovetail with ¼ 20 holes, meaning it can be used on an equatorial mount or photo tripod if one desires – the latter does require some kind of slow-motion adapter for the precision necessary for astronomical use.
At only 10.8 pounds, the entire telescope fits in a backpack and can be brought on an airplane.
3. Zhumell Z130 (Choice between $170 - $250)
The Z130 is basically a scaled up and improved version of the Z100. It has a collimatable primary mirror and rotating tube rings. These tube rings allow you to rotate the tube to the most comfortable position for viewing and work well with heavy eyepieces.
The extra half inch of aperture is a noticeable improvement compared to 114mm scopes, but it comes at a cost – both financial and practical.
The red dot finder for aiming works pretty well, but with 130mm of aperture a more serious 9×50 finderscope or reflex sight might be something you'll upgrade to eventually.
The Z130 comes with both a 25mm and 10mm eyepiece (both Kellners), providing 25x and 65x respectively, but we recommend you get another eyepiece. A 6mm Goldline would let you view the planets in high resolution, providing 108x … and trust us, you want to see that. But even if you can't get that eyepiece right now, it's not a dealbreaker. The Z130 blows its competitors away with or without the preferred eyepiece.
The Z130's biggest drawback, however, is its weight – While twenty-one pounds isn't a lot for a telescope, finding a table sturdy and wide enough to hold it may be difficult.
Zhumell Z130
4. Orion SkyQuest XT4.5 (Best in the range $250 - $285)
The Orion 10014 SkyQuest XT4.5 comes with great accessories, and an easy to use Dobsonian mount.
Thanks to its long focal ratio of f/8, the XT4.5 will have a sharp view at the edge of the field at low power because of less coma. The secondary mirror is smaller, increasing contrast by a minor amount. The longer focal ratio also makes collimation easier.
The XT4.5 comes with two eyepieces, a 25mm and a 10mm Plossl, providing 36x and 90x magnification respectively. These are much better than the inexpensive Kellners and MA eyepieces supplied with cheaper telescopes on this list.
The XT4.5's finderscope is a 6×30 straight through unit, which is basically a miniature telescope attached to the side, as opposed to a red dot sight. It's somewhat less comfortable to use.
Due to its long tube the SkyQuest XT4.5 is better suited to sit atop a milk crate or tall box rather than a table. This can be a little annoying, but the improvements over a smaller 114mm tabletop scope are worth it. For $25 more however, you could get a 6" Dobsonian, which is the next entry.
5. SkyWatcher S11600 6" Dobsonian (Choice between $285 - $350)
One of the highest rated telescopes for night sky hobbyists.
Before the 1970s a 6" telescope was considered the pinnacle of what the average amateur astronomer could buy. However, light pollution and cost decreases have led to a 6" today being considered more or less the minimum for any kind of real and serious observations.
The 6" Traditional includes a 25mm and 10mm eyepiece, providing 48x and 120x respectively, and a 6×30 finderscope. This finderscope is uncomfortable to look through, but usable.
A 6" can show you a lot. I spent my first two years of astronomy with one. A 6" telescope can go up to 300x with good optics and collimation. It can show you Neptune's moon Triton, and even see (in detail!) Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the spiral arms of M51.
While an 8" reflector is similar with regards to portability, a 6" is great for seniors, kids, or anyone who isn't as capable of moving a heavy instrument around. The 6" Traditional's long focal ratio of f/8 also makes collimation easy. The Skywatcher 6" Traditional is also the cheapest telescope on this list that takes 2" eyepieces.
6. SkyWatcher 8" Traditional Dobsonian - ($350 - $450)
An 8" telescope will show even more than a 6". The entire Messier catalog is relatively easy from a suburban or dark site. Pluto may be spotted from reasonably dark skies, and many deep-sky objects begin to show fair amounts of detail. The moons of Uranus are possible sights on nights of steady air.
The 8" Traditional is no more bulky than the aforementioned 6" Dobsonian. The only difference is the weight. For older users or children an 8" may be too difficult to set up without assistance.
Apart from having a slightly larger finderscope (50mm vs 30mm) compared to the Sky-Watcher 6" Traditional, the 8" Traditional is basically identical, apart from a wider form factor and shorter focal ratio (f/6 vs f/8).
The average person can handle an 8" Dobsonian and the gains over a 6" are certainly worth the price. An 8" telescope will last you a lifetime.
7. Zhumell Z8 - (Excellent for $450 - $550 range)
Maybe you liked the accessories that came with the 8" Skywatcher, but you wanted just a bit more? The Zhumell Z8 is exactly what you're looking for!
With an improved dual-speed focuser with a micro-adjusting knob, a quality 9×50 finderscope, and even an included laser collimator the Zhumell Z8 is well worth the money. The Z8 even has a cooling fan for cold nights!
Apart from the Meade Mini 114, the Zhumell Z8 is the telescope I most often recommend to beginners. It is the best 8" Dobsonian available, and nothing beats the sheer value in its price range.
8. Zhumell Z12 - ($500 - $1000)
An upscaled version of the Z8, the Zhumell Z12 offers colossal light gathering power. A generation ago a scope only a professional or very rich amateur could own a telescope this large!
A 12" Dobsonian easily shows Pluto, globular clusters, and shows incredible detail in many galaxies, or even suburbs. Jupiter's moon Ganymede may even show a slight dark marking called the Galileo Regio. You can, if it's a good night, even see Uranus and Neptune's moons.
Weighing only 75 pounds the Z12 is not a lightweight telescope. Its 14" wide tube is rather awkward to carry too, but don't fret! You can fix this with homemade or aftermarket straps. Or just put the whole scope on a hand truck or dolly. That being said, the Z12 will still fit in most sedans and SUVs, though compact car owners may be in trouble.
We'd recommend getting a smaller scope to complement the Zhumell Z12 just to make sure you're hooked before bringing this beast into your home. A smaller scope would help too for nights where it isn't worth hauling the big scope out. But … if this telescope is in your budget, and if you can get this scope to where you want it, do it. There's nothing quite like the power of a 12 inch Dobsonian.
9. Celestron NexStar Evolution 6/8 (Our pick for $1K - $2K range)
Celestron's NexStar Evolution brings GoTo telescopes into the 21st century.
Unlike cheap computerized telescopes which have small apertures, cheap plastic gears, and can only be operated with controllers reminiscent of a pocket calculator, the Evolution has enough aperture to actually show you stuff, has a solid all metal construction, and it can be controlled via its own WiFi network with your smartphone or tablet. The NexStar Evolution is incredibly easy to operate, and even has its own built-in rechargeable battery for plug-and-play use.
Being a Schmidt-Cassegrain catadioptric design, the Evolution's main drawback is the somewhat narrow maximum field of view compared to a similar sized reflecting telescope. However, the computer functions more than make up for this.
Honorable Mentions
All of the following telescopes are also incredible options. Some of the telescopes here have features that may be more suitable for your use cases.
Orion StarBlast II EQ - (Another choice for $170-$250 Range)
70 Reviews
The Orion StarBlast II EQ is similar to the Mini 114, but unique in that it has an equatorial mount. This mount might be a little challenging for a child or novice to set up, but having this mount does mean you won't need a table, meaning you can bring it wherever you want.
One could buy a compatible Celestron motor drive, allowing the mount to track the sky, enabling lunar and planetary photography with a cell phone or webcam style camera. Long exposures with a DSLR camera would put too much strain on the lightweight mount. The drive is simply not accurate enough for a time exposure.
The StarBlast II also comes with Plossl eyepieces, and is supplied with the same Moon map as the Dazzle 4.5.
SkyWatcher Virtuoso - (Another choice for $250-$285 Range)
This is one of if not the most versatile telescopes!
The Skywatcher Virtuoso has no Amazon reviews as of now though, because the original listing was replaced (not sure why), but rest assured this telescope has many admirers and a lot of happy owners!
It also comes with a certified safe solar filter so you can observe sunspots during the day.
After a simple alignment procedure your Virtuoso automatically tracks the sky, with no adjustments needed. The long focal ratio and excellent optics of the Virtuoso shines best when it comes to lunar and planetary astrophotography. And don't forget to use the included solar filter to photograph sunspots, too, of course!
The mount will also thread onto any photo tripod, the telescope tube can be removed, and the mount can connect to a DSLR for panoramic and time lapse photographs … in the daytime!
The included finderscope should be replaced with a Daisy red dot finder or Rigel Quickfinder if you plan on purchasing, as the included finderscope is more or less a cheap toy.
Orion XT6 Plus - (Second choice for $350-$450 Range)
14 Reviews
The Orion XT6 Plus is only $10 more than the regular XT6, so I'm going to omit the regular XT6 and focus on the Plus.
The XT6 Plus is similar to the Sky-Watcher 6" Traditional, but has a red dot finder instead of the 6×30, has cutouts in the mount, a strip of white reflective material on the base, redone paint, a 1.25" focuser, and thumbscrews for the secondary mirror.
The XT6 Plus includes a Barlow lens, a map (the Orion's DeepMap 600), and a solar filter, too! The Barlow is nice, but a better short focal length should be preferred. The DeepMap is great when you're out in the field, but modern phone applications and free computer programs like Stellarium have greater utility.
The included solar filter is phenomenal for viewing sunspots and is a feature that makes this scope well worth the price alone. Without a 2" focuser you're not going to have as wide a field at low power though, since you can't use a 2" eyepiece. If you don't need a 2" eyepiece though, which is sometimes the case, the included XT6 Plus is still a fantastic choice and will set you up with many nights ahead to explore the sky … in both the night and day!
SkyWatcher 8" Collapsible Dobsonian - (Our second pick for $350-$450 Range)
47 Reviews
The Sky-Watcher 8" Collapsible Dobsonian uses the same optics and base as the 8" Traditional, but that's where the similarities end.
The main difference is that the Collapsible's tube is obviously, well, collapsible. It shrinks to a length of about thirty-six inches, compared to the 48" of a regular 8" Dobsonian. This allows it to rest upright in a car seat and fit across the back of most sedans.
The open tube allows dew to reach the mirrors far more easily and does let a little light to shine in however, which can reduce your view's brightness and contrast. This can be solved with a shroud made of Lycra (or some other similar fabric). Various third party solutions are available, or you can make your own.
Collapsing the tube will tend to cause the telescope to lose collimation too, which is something to consider if you want your scope to be as low maintenance as possible.
If you need a slightly more portable 8" Dobsonian and don't mind the inconveniences of the collapsible tube, the Sky-Watcher 8" Collapsible is for you.
How To Choose A Telescope?
Here are the most important tips for finding the right model for you so you can go ahead and unlock all of the night sky's hidden secrets!
Select a Telescope Based on Your Needs
The first thing you want to do is to figure out what you really want out of your telescope. Consider:
- Where will you use it?
- Where will you store it?
- How much weight can you carry comfortably?
- How will you find the things you want to see?
- Is this for home use or will you frequently put it in your car?
- Will you want to take this on a vacation?
- Will you want to take it on an airplane?
If your observing location requires walking up or down stairs, or you can't handle carrying something too heavy, or if you just decide you want to travel a lot with your scope, choosing a smaller one might be a better idea.
While it's amazing to peer through a big scope, it's useless if it isn't used. This goes for kids too. If you're shopping for a child, remember to choose something they can manage on their own.
Choose Your Model
There are several different types of telescopes, but the most common are refractor, reflector and catadioptric telescopes.
- Refracting telescopes usually provide the best image for their apertures, but are usually pricey. They're seldom available with large apertures. Inexpensive ones do have a fair amount of chromatic aberration though, thanks to the achromatic lens design they use. Refractors seldom require maintenance and do not usually need to cool down before use.
- Reflector telescopes provide the most bang for your buck in terms of light gathering power and resolution, but requires frequent alignment of mirrors and may need to cool down before being used.
- Catadioptric telescopes are moderately expensive, but are much more compact than most equivalent sized refractors or reflectors. They do require periodic maintenance and need to cool down as well, but not as much as most reflectors.
Know the Basics
You don't have to be a technical engineer to buy an awesome telescope, but if you understand a few concepts and terms like aperture, focal length, and maximum magnification you'll be fine.
Do some research to learn what these things are and how they can help you when you're looking for nebulae and comets, spotting craters on the Moon, or watching Jupiter's moons orbit around the planet.
Consider the Tech
Some telescopes come with built-in computer assistance for tracking and identifying celestial objects. We don't recommend computerized GoTo telescopes over the manual ones that are on our recommendation list, though.
Computerized telescopes can come with additional work and requirements. For example, they will need a power supply and can take longer to set up than most other scopes. Knowing what you can do with a good star chart is much more beneficial.
The money you're spending on a telescope should be going as much towards the aperture (size of the objective lens or mirror) as possible. When you're spending only a few hundred dollars on a telescope, half your money is going to go to the drive systems and controller, and as a result you get rather little actual "telescope" for your money.
There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to the level of technology that you're comfortable with though, and both kinds of scopes (tech-included or not) have their own pros and cons, so make sure to really think about what you want out of your scope before making any kind of purchase.
Read the Fine Print
It's always a good idea to get your telescope insured, but it's especially important when you're dealing with a high end telescope. You don't want a shipping accident to leave you with a broken eyepiece and a big bill. Look at the product's warranty and ask yourself the following questions:
- What accidents are covered by the policy?
- Does the policy include human mistakes as well as product defects?
- Who pays for return shipping if the device has to be sent back to the manufacturer?
- How long does the warranty last?
- Can that warranty in question be extended with an extra fee?
Stick to Your Price Range
Telescopes can range from a $20 toy to a $2,000 tool. Before you start getting starry eyed over a particular model or brand make sure to check your bank account first. Don't go into debt buying a fancy eyepiece if you're still new … you can always get it later, if you still believe it's needed.
City Life?
If you live in the city you'll definitely want to prioritize aperture. A small telescope will show little under severe light pollution, but in general you're going to want to get as far away from cities as you can when you sky watch anyways.
Roadmap or GPS?
When stargazing, make sure to plan your trip appropriately. This may include bringing a paper star chart if manual scopes are for you. If you prefer to have the scope to find the targets, then look at PushTo or GoTo computerized packages.
You Get What You Pay For
Cheap telescopes under $100 are almost universally toys. Below $300 consumer telescopes tend to have corners cut. Remember, a telescope is meant to last a lifetime; don't be afraid to spend a few extra bucks if you're able.
These are just a few things to keep in mind as you shop for telescopes. Whether you're an avid astronomer at the local observatory or just a college student looking for something to poke out of your dorm room window, now you are prepared enough to make a smart decision about what telescope you want next.
Good luck choosing your telescope!

Grecarden is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Vryaco from the planet Dasikere.
Grecarden is currently free-use.
Grecaden has the ability to entrap objects in wide stone pillars. Once entrapped, whatever active energy the object has will be drained out of them by the pillar. Living beings will go into a hibernative state where body processes all but shut down, with the pillar feeding them the minor energy they need to stay alive in this state. They will not age or degrade in health in any way during this process, making them a consistent source of energy.
Once these pillars are active, they will begin producing unique flowering plants that serve as Grecarden's primary food source, refilling his energy. At full energy, Grecarden is potentially strong enough to break through reinforced steel.
His stone body naturally gives him a fair amount of strength and durability even when he isn't full on energy.
Grecarden is a hunched, blocky alien with a stone body based on golems and covered with plant growth and Greek symbols. He has short legs but extremely long arms, with the arms having a row of spiral runes running alongside their outside face. His head is mounted on the front of his body, being relatively small and having a somewhat stern expression. The Omnitrix symbol is hidden in the bush on his back.
Grecarden's current energy levels are indicated by the blue glowing of the runes on his arms, and if he runs out of energy, he must be revived by an external force. While he can produce some of his own energy via photosynthesis from the mossy plants covering his body, it is only enough to keep him alive in a hibernative state of his own, and the majority of his energy must be consumed from external sources.
His stone body is fairly dense, making it difficult for him to move very quickly.
- Grecarden's name is a combination of the words Greco and Garden.
- Grecarden was inspired by Greek art designs and old ruins.
- His species name is a combination of the Greek words "Vráchos Vrýa", which translate out to "Rock Moss".
- His planet name is a combination of the Greek words "Dasiká ereípia", which translate out to "Forest ruins".

Five Things to Know About the 14th Amendment and Trump's Plan to End Birthright Citizenship
On Tuesday, Axios dropped a bombshell: President Donald Trump is considering an executive order to end birthright citizenship, changing the way the 14th Amendment is applied in immigration law. The president has taken one side in a robust constitutional debate, and his move should encourage Congress and the Supreme Court to consider the issue.
Here are 5 things to know about the situation.
1. What Axios reported.
President Trump gave an interview to "Axios on HBO," a new four-part documentary series launching this coming Sunday. In that interview, Trump confirmed that an executive order to reverse birthright citizenship is in the works, Jonathan Swan and Stef W. Right reported.
"It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't," the president said. "You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress. But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order."
Explaining birthright citizenship, Trump remarked, "We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States ... with all of those benefits."
According to a 2009 Harvard paper, however, 30 out of 35 sovereign nations in the Americas have birthright citizenship, immediately extending citizenship to all people born in the country, even if their parents are illegal immigrants. It is important to note, however, that birthright citizenship is a New World philosophy — most countries outside the Western Hemisphere do not have birthright citizenship.
This seems to contradict the plain text of the first section of 14th Amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
These remarks set off a firestorm of controversy.
2. Responses.
Democrats criticized Trump immediately, but even Republicans attacked the idea.
"Mr. President, amending any part of the Constitution by Executive Order puts every part of the Constitution at risk of being amended by Executive Order," Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) tweeted. "Today it's the 14th Amendment. Tomorrow it could be the 1st. It's OUR Constitution not YOUR Constitution." He concluded with a hashtag "#ImpeachmentIsNotDead."
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) — the congressman who said Trump was "complicit" in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi without evidence — argued that Trump "is willing to delete a passage from the Constitution to target people who don't look like him. BUT he's unwilling to do anything to protect you from violence, arguing that it would conflict with the Second Amendment in same Constitution."
Republicans also criticized Trump.
"Birthright citizenship is protected by the Constitution, so no [Donald Trump] you can't end it by executive order," Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) tweeted. "What we really need is broad immigration reform that makes our country more secure and reaffirms our wonderful tradition as a nation of immigrants."
"A president cannot amend Constitution or laws via executive order," Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) tweeted. "Concept of natural-born citizen in [the 14th Amendment] derives from natural-born subject in Britain. Phrase 'and subject to the jurisdiction thereof' excludes mainly foreign diplomats, who are not subject to U.S. laws."
So, why does Trump think he can change the way the 14th Amendment is applied?
3. History of the 14th Amendment.
Michael Anton, a former national security official in the Trump administration, argued in The Washington Post that the president could, via executive order, "specify to federal agencies that the children of noncitizen are not citizens" merely because they were born on U.S. soil.
The 14th Amendment was ratified in July 1868, and it was specifically intended to ensure that former slaves had equal citizenship rights. The amendment struck down the horrific Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) Supreme Court ruling that black Americans had no rights. For this reason, it is arguable that the amendment should not be interpreted as intending to give citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.
As Axios reported, conservatives have argued that the 14th Amendment was not intended to provide citizenship to illegal immigrants or those on temporary visas, but only to children born in the U.S. to lawful permanent residents.
John Eastman, a constitutional scholar and director of Chapman University's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, told "Axios on HBO" that the Constitution has been misapplied over the past 40 or so years. He argued that the line "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" originally referred to people with full, political allegiance to the U.S.
[It is important to note, as Andrew McCarthy did over at National Review, that Congress passed Section 1401 of the immigration and naturalization laws, which appears to codify in law what the 14th Amendment says. As McCarthy argued, "that means the issue is not just what jurisdiction was understood to mean in 1868 when the 14th Amendment was adopted, but what it meant in 1952, when the statute defining U.S. citizenship was enacted (it has been amended several times since then)."]
Under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relation, article 36, illegal immigrants arrested or detained in the United States have a right to communicate with the consulate of the country from which they came, suggesting that they may fall outside of the United States' jurisdiction.
Axios also cited Judge James C. Ho, who was appointed by Trump to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Ho claimed that the "subject to the jurisdiction" line refers to the legal obligation to follow U.S. laws, which applies to foreign visitors and immigrants, with the exception of diplomats. Ho argued that Trump's proposed executive order would be unconstitutional.
4. The current situation.
Trump first voiced his opposition to birthright citizenship in 2015. By that time, the number and percentage of births to illegal immigrants in the U.S. had decreased, but it remained rather high, according to the Pew Research Center.
In 1980, roughly 30,000 babies were born to illegal immigrants in the U.S. (1 percent of all U.S. births). That number rose to 45,000 in 1985 (1 percent), 95,000 in 1990 (2 percent), and 170,000 in 1995 (4 percent). It broke 200,000 in the 2000s, and has remained above that threshold since.
In 2000, 240,000 babies were born to illegal immigrants (6 percent of births). By 2005, that number climbed to 355 (9 percent), and it reached a peak of 370,000 (9 percent of births) in 2006. By 2010, the number had fallen to 320,000 (8 percent), and in 2014 only 275,000 babies were born to illegal immigrants (7 percent).
Despite the decline, these numbers still represent a staggering amount of people — and a large percentage of Americans born in the early 2000s.
5. Constitutionality.
The key question remains: Can President Donald Trump do this? According to former presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, the answer is most likely yes — but Congress and the Supreme Court also have a say on the issue.
Many Americans believe that the Supreme Court is the final word on constitutionality, but the Constitution clearly gives power to three co-equal branches: the legislative (Congress), the executive (the President), and the judiciary (the Supreme Court). Both Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln circumvented a Supreme Court decision — in Lincoln's case, Dred Scott — on the grounds that they had equal say in constitutionality.
The Supreme Court has a unique say when it comes to specific cases, but it is not the only branch that can declare things constitutional or unconstitutional. This kind of judicial supremacy is out of keeping with the spirit of the Constitution.
President Donald Trump may well issue his executive order (the administration is under his domain), but the Supreme Court and Congress have every right to challenge this interpretation. Congress can pass a law explicitly codifying birthright citizenship (in a stronger manner than the 1952 law), and the Supreme Court can rule in a specific case (should the child of illegal immigrants sue the president in federal court).
As for Rep. Al Green's suggestion that Trump's executive order would put the First Amendment in jeopardy, that is nonsense. Trump is not weakening the specific purpose of the 14th Amendment — extending equal rights to former slaves — but dealing with an ancillary issue.
Indeed, Sen. Jacob Howard (R-Mich.), who introduced the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Senate, insisted that the amendment "will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
If Trump issues this order, he will be issuing a clear interpretation of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" that accords with Howard's declaration and the apparent intent of the Congress that ratified the amendment. Thornier issues may arise surrounding the 1952 immigration law, but Trump's executive order may be justified as being in keeping with the original intent of the 14th Amendment.
It seems both Democrats and Republicans in Congress would likely oppose the president on this issue. If they can gain a veto-proof majority, they should merely pressure Trump to drop his suggestion. The Constitution does not make the Supreme Court the sole arbiter of constitutionality, but it also does not make the president its sole arbiter. If Trump starts this battle, he may not like its conclusion.
Even opponents of birthright citizenship like McCarthy have insisted that Congress should take the lead on this issue.
