IPM Oklahoma!
Corn & Sorghum
Corn and sorghum are important crops for Oklahoma producers. More than 350 thousand acres of corn and 340 thousand acres of sorghum were grown in 2008. Most of the corn and sorghum grown in Oklahoma is used to feed cattle and other livestock. Corn production practices have changed dramatically with the development and adoption of transgenic varieties that contain genetics for weed and insect control and the need to grow corn with less water. So far, sorghum variety development has not followed the transgenic trend, but new varieties are available that offer competitively high yields and make a good choice for a summer cash crop. Today, new pest management challenges await corn and sorghum producers, but fortunately IPM programs are flexible enough to meet those challenges.

This week as I've gotten my semester grades from my Data Visualization and Applied Data Science classes at Indiana University, I wanted to write about a non-data issue – persistence. It's been a topic I've been reflecting on quite a bit as I am one course away from my master's degree, as 2017 winds down and I take a survey of the past year and I face the exciting challenge of changing careers in 2018.
In this video of a Giant Panda from the Toronto Zoo, the panda repeatedly tries climbing a snowman and will not give up after falling. He first climbs on top of the second ball tier of a snowman and the snow and him fall over in spectacular fashion. He doesn't let that stop him and climbs again on top of the base of the snowman. He hangs on for dear life on his stomach before tumbling again headfirst into the snow. Third, fourth and fifth tries only last at most one second. Finally he rolls around in the snow – having not 'accomplished' what we as viewers probably thought was his goal of climbing and staying on top of the snowman.
My data science journey began officially in January 2016 – almost two years ago. I've written in this blog about characteristics of a data scientist – thinks analytically, uses Statistics, uses storytelling and machine learning. These technical traits only begin to describe what I think it takes to be a successful data scientist. Anyone trying to uncover patterns with data to answer questions needs to be persistent like the panda. As I've learned technical skills in graduate school, I have had to persevere. When working full-time, taking a full load of coursework and taking care of a family has seemed way out of balance, remembering to be persistent has been key.
Even though I don't have the hard data, I would venture a guess that the majority of people with careers that bring them joy have at times felt like the panda falling off of the snowman. A speed bump (or two or ten) comes along the way. But then you get back up, regroup and try again. Even if success isn't what you thought it would be, you persist.
I'd love to hear from you as to examples of persistence in your data career. What are some ways you stay motivated to persevere? I'll be taking a few weeks off from the blog over the holidays and will start the blog back in January.

During the end of September this year, the final round of talks on Free Trade Agreement between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be held in Pakistan. Sri Lankan Consul General at Karachi, Manel De Silva, made this announcement while addressing a press conference along with Niraj de Mel, Chairman, Sri Lanka Tea Board.
Mr. De Mel is heading a 4-member Sri Lanka Tea Trade Delegation to Pakistan from the 30th of August to the 2nd of September. Manel De Silva, also stated that the main aim of this visit will be to strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries and to maintain the close relations with Pakistan.
Ms. De Silva was optimistic that FTA talks will be finalized in the talks here expected to be the final round.
She also hoped that after the visit of this delegation, more delegations will follow and that delegations from Pakistan will also come to Sri Lanka. "With the visit of the Tea Trade Delegation, the FTA will prove to be a good start with tea trade being the most important one", she said.
Mr. de Mel further recalled that UK, Egypt, Iraq and Pakistan were the first four large importing countries of Ceylon Tea. Pakistan has been one of Sri Lanka's leading trading partners in the 1970s.
Due to a special trading agreement between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the 1980s, Sri Lanka exported around 20 million Kgs of Black tea to Pakistan. Although Pakistan is predominantly a CTC tea market at present, due to the superior quality of Ceylon Tea, it is felt that the tea consumer in Pakistan has a strong preference for it

I'm really sorry, I don't quite know how to break this news in a way that won't cause massive outbreaks of panic and alarm. Let's just say that there's another British cultural export on the way over, and, well, she's something of an acquired taste.
You know how you've got Kim Kardashian? We'll we've our own equivalent in the form of Katie Price. For those of you who haven't been following her career to day, she's a former glamour model who rode the tabloids like a bucking bronco and never got thrown off.
The salient points are these: she went into reality TV, met a husband in the form of former pop star Peter Andre, raised a family on camera in a series of docu-soaps, wrote nine or ten autobiographies, made a perfume, made some underwear, split with Peter, met a cross-dressing kickboxer called Alex, split up with him, dressed up as Freddie Mercury for Comic Relief and has a disabled son called Harvey who was once the butt of a particularly nasty joke by the Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle, for which she is still seeking an apology.
And the reason I know all this and it's relevant to her work is that this IS her work. She appears in docu-soaps for a living. And now she's doing another one in your fair land, courtesy of Fox, and while we're about to put the bunting out and have a massive party, it's only fair to spare a thought for all of you in the beleaguered U.S. of A.
She told the Sun: "I'll be in America in September and they're trying to work out what they want to do. I'm not trying to be famous or massive, I'm just doing what I want to do."
"It's taken nearly a year to set this contract up. We're thinking of doing the road trip from New York to Los Angeles.
"But I want a big Priscilla-style van. You've got to make it fun. The cameras will be inside the van. That's what we're working on at the moment. "
Whatever she does, it's likely to be high-concept, and yes, the UK will be getting a feed of it too: "I don't think anyone wants to see me in the hairdressers and getting my nails done all the time."
What kind of Katie shelter are YOU building? Tell us here.Read More

Coming So far: Clio on Starting Up, Vertical SaaS, and Maximizing Growth at Startup Weekend
Clio has become a major presence in Vancouver's tech scene and has grown from a small firm with three employees in 2007 to more than 130 strong with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, and Dublin, Ireland. As I walked into their office I was quickly greeted by one of their staff who kindly fixed me a cup of coffee and informed Christopher Yeh, Clio's Talent Specialist. As I slipped my coffee and welcomed the sense of invigoration brought on by the caffeine, I began to notice the extensive renovations that were underway. Seeing the completed renovations gave visitors a sense of professionalism and growth but the friendliness of the staff and decor showed guests that Clio still has the heart of a scrappy startup. It was during this thought that Christopher and Derek Bolen, Clio's communications coordinator, arrived.
I was surprised by the amount of attention I garnered, but realized perhaps this is one of the reasons why Clio has come so far: They treat everyone who comes their way with great importance and proudly Canadian hospitality. After the initial introductions, we quickly settled into a meeting room and began the interview.
1. What is Clio and what industry are you in?
We're a SaaS company that provides the leading cloud-based product in the legal practice management space. We help lawyers be awesome at what they do with an accessible, user-friendly software solution that incorporates time tracking, billing, document management, client management, and calendaring.
2. How did Clio go from two friends working together to a successful startup with three offices (Vancouver, Toronto and Dublin)?
Jack and Rian met at elementary school in Edmonton and have been best of friends ever since. Rian moved to Vancouver for work and Jack stayed in Alberta, but they always knew they wanted to start a business together. They were already working full-time jobs and were doing contract work on the side to make money for 'business' trips to Las Vegas. At the time, back in 2007-08, they happened to pick up a contract job with the Law Society of BC and their conversations led to discussions on how unfeasible practice management software was in the legal space for small legal firms. These firms did not have the capital to purchase and set up the servers that were required to run what was then the standard practice management software: unwieldy on-premise software. The conversation led Jack and Rian to a lightbulb moment that gave them the motivation to build a cloud-based platform to address the pain points associated with incumbents. Taking inspiration from companies like Salesforce and 37Signals, they coded the first version of their cloud-based software in Ruby on Rails—and the rest, as they say, is history.
3. Success is about learning from those who have succeeded before you; what qualities should Startup Weekend participants who wish to build a Saas (particularly cloud-based software) learn from Clio?
When Clio launched, it was the first cloud-based legal practice management software to market. Being the first mover was an advantage for the company as it was able to do business with a large and underserved market. As time passed we saw other companies throw their hats into the ring which reminded us to not rest our laurels. In the SaaS market it's not necessarily about who's first, it's about who's best, so it's critical to iterate and improve upon the product and consistently add new features clients tell us they want.
4. Vancouver has been named one of the best places to create a startup. Can you please tell us what resources Startup Weekend participants can capitalize on in order to maximize their growth and momentum?
We're incredibly fortunate to live in a tech hub like Vancouver that was grown organically from grassroots innovation. Vancouverites aspiring to be startup founders are a fortunate lot as they have access to homegrown mentorship opportunities that a lot of people yearn for. There are many intelligent and successful leaders within the Greater Vancouver area who are extremely open, accessible, and willing share their experiences. Lastly, Vancouverites are becoming less inclined to leave the city, preferring to build their startup here. The city has some great accelerators and incubators as well as becoming known for its pool of great talent, and while VC attention was scarce before, they have started to keep a keen eye on Vancouver-built companies.
5. How can Startup Weekend participants maximize their social media presence and marketing efforts over the 54-hour event?
Startup Weekend hashtags have always drawn a lot of attention and action during and after the event. Hashtags gives participants the opportunity to reach out to individuals and community influencers to gain visibility on the web they wouldn't usually have had the opportunity. It's also crucial to remember for participants to engage in discussions rather than use social media as a tool for a one way marketing push.
6. What are some of Clio's upcoming milestones and events that excite you?
We held Clio's second annual user conference down in Chicago on September 22nd where we made a great number of new feature announcements. We believe these new features will catapult the company to the next level. Locally, we're growing at an incredible rate. We're in the midst of our office renovations and our aim is to be identified as the next major tech anchor within the startup community. We're hoping to grow into that role through mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs and startups and helping them succeed.

A conversation about Microsoft buying Softricity: What it means now and for the future
Last month, Microsoft announced that they intended to acquire Softricity.
Last month, Microsoft announced that they intended to acquire Softricity. In this Brian Madden Live podcast, I talked with several industry experts, including:
- Tim Mangan, founder of TMUrgent technologies in Boston
- Phil Winslow, software equities analyst for Credit Suisse in New York
- Ron Oglesby, chief architect at RapidApp in Chicago
- Steig Westerberg, CEO of Stream Theory
The conversations covered various many different angles of this acquisition, including:
- What this means for Citrix in the short term
- How the Softricity technology can help Microsoft sell copies of Office
- That Citrix needs to acquire a WAN optimization provider
- How Microsoft can use Softricity to facilitate Windows grid computing
- What Citrix should do with Project Tarpon
- How Citrix is competing with companies like Cisco and Juniper, and how Citrix could be better positioned then them
- What this means for Microsoft SMS and Altiris
- How desktop application deployment and server-based computing technologies are converging


text: I am a long time RRRG member dating back to 2002. I spend nearly every weekend on site at Peak Rail doing practical restoration work and the RRRG mess coach is affectionately known as my "country cottage" to other RRRG members! I originally stood for election to the Committee as Bodywork Officer, because it was important we continued to tidy up the bodywork of the RRRG locomotives and make their cabs and engine rooms weather-proof. Once this task was completed my role changed to be one of Site Manager and Volunteer Coordinator because I am on site so often that I can help to decide work schedules and allocate tasks to other working members as they arrive on site. I help to train and supervise other workers to ensure good quality restoration is carried out.

Well, stone me. All is changed, changed utterly. Tom Aikens. The restaurant, not the man. Gone the suave polish of a French-inspired restaurant, the rich carpeting and heavy linen tablecloths, the weighty cutlery and waiters uniformed in black and white. Gone, too, that sense of luxury and expense and formality. Everything has been stripped back, pared down, reduced, not quite to basics (unless your basics are of the expensively-tailored kind), but to an essence that is only achieved by a great deal of thought and a good deal of money.
Outside the shrubs marking the entrance have vanished, and almost all exterior branding. There's a small, discrete, almost spidery 'Tom Aikens' above the door. The meaningful matt black exterior serves as a stern warning of the bareness inside – bare oak floor boards, bare oak tables, bare oak and wrought-iron chairs (pretty comfortable). Actually, they have an almost sculptural quality. The walls are what appear to be concrete, into some of which have incised pertinent quotations from the likes of Marilyn van Horne (who? I had to look her up, and so you will, too), Mahatma Gandhi, Miss Piggy and Tom Aikens, himself. There are a few artfully placed mirrors to add ghostly reflection. The only colour comes from small sprigs of flowers on each table, which sit in curious vases with rounded bottoms, which roll around like drunken sailors but never fall over. Overall, it comes across as a kind of industrial, metro-rural chic. It has the sharp shock of a roll in the snow after a sauna.
Tom Aikens (the chef, not the restaurant) has never been the man for the half measure. The menu and the style of his food, has been re-thought with the same thoroughness as the room. Indeed, it would make nonsense of the whole exercise if he had not. He has erased virtually all trace of the French culinary influences of his past, the deep pile sauces, the hard-driven flavours, the piling of effect on effect, and focused instead on the principle (British) ingredient, working to bring harmony to dish, rather than the rather rococo pyrotechnics which marked his dishes formerly.
Instead, there is a new clarity and sense of focus.. There is an apparently uncontrived naturalness to the dishes. But it is only apparent. Beneath the artless arrangements there is complexity as well as technical mastery. All the elements are superbly cooked. Multiple textures and flavours are handled with rare finesse – floppy leaves of Romaine lettuce, crunch breadcrumbs, firm meat; burly lamb, sweet lettuce, sharp anchovy, musky ewe's cheese, toasty breadcrumbs, rich, pure gravy. This is actually pretty thrilling stuff.
He can do the light and delicate touch, too. There's a dish labeled as raw turnip salad. Not exactly a sexy come-on, more hair shirt than plush velvet, you might think. What you actually get are thin, crunchy slices of turnip, pale turnip juice, bitter, mustard leaves; sweet chestnut cream; small soft rolls of chestnut and little cubes of jelly (turnip?). The appearance is carefully uncontrived. The effect is clean, light, and intriguingly complex.
A number of major chefs have managed to do wonders with cauliflower. Joel Robuchon teamed it with caviar. Heston Blumenthal created a cauliflower risotto in inimitable fashion. To the roll of cauli-lovers we can add Tom Aikens. He has teamed it in various forms (creamed, roasted, raw slivers) with roasted John Dory and a light dusting of cumin.
I could go on through each course, but you'd probably get fed up with my lip-smacking indulgence, so I'll stop there. It easy for the forensic critic to forget that most people go to restaurants to have a good time, not to sit in hushed silence, painstakingly parsing each dish as it arrives. Let's just say that there was plenty more to admire and indulge in.
Tom Aikens (the man, not the restaurant) has taken a gamble re-inventing himself so completely. He risks alienating a sizable following who liked the full-blown opulence of his French days. He risks people finding the new austerity a little too serious, even monastic. Above all, he risks be labeled as Noma rip-off.
But it's simply too easy, and facile, to say that Tom Aikens has taken his inspiration and style from the great Scandinavian revolution. No doubt there has been some cross-fertilization. However, I'm not convinced that the Scandinavian revolution is quite as revolutionary as all that (cf Marc Veyrat and Edouard Loubet a dozen years ago). And there were elements of Mr. Aikens earlier style that were clues to the direction to which his culinary thinking has turned – those vast salads of all kinds of weird leaves and other bits, the careful sourcing of British ingredients with very particular gastronomic colours and qualities.
Instead, I'd say that the new approach is the mark of chef who is mature and confident enough to take a completely fresh direction, and one skilled enough to pull it off.

There is the a la carte, a 6-course tasting menu at £55 and an 8 courser at £80, plus a lunchtime menu at £24). That gives plenty of entry points for curious eaters. I had the 6-course menu at £55. My final bill came to £101 for just me. But then I did drink rather well.

Why do Hash Lookups?
Looking up cryptographic hashes of files is done for various reasons. The first and most common reason is to verify the integrity of a particular file. This is demonstrated in practically every Linux distro download on the web (this is especially vital to prevent headaches arising from corrupted downloads of the ISO file).
Another reason to do hash lookups, in the context of information security, is to determine if a file is known to be verified and safe or known to be malicious. This is done by checking a file's cryptographic hash value against various databases. Some of the known databases include the National Software Reference Library (NSRL) set, VirusTotal, and ThreatCrowd
While including various intelligence sources, it's tedious enough to look up one hash against multiple sources, much less thousands of files found in one disk image.
FileIntel to the Rescue!
To deal with this problem you can use the Python tool, FileIntel. According to FileIntel's README, "This is a tool used to collect various intelligence sources for a given file. Fileintel is written in a modular fashion so new intelligence sources can be easily added."
Here is the sample help output when the application is first run
Help prompt
Currently, it supports lookups to the NSRL set, VirusTotal, ThreatCrowd, OTX, and ThreatExpert out of the box. The code also makes it easy to add more modules to the application.
FileIntel uses a configuration file to configure the various available modules. Note that for NSRL lookups to work, the "minimal" zip file must be downloaded from here and the path to the zip file nust me configured properly.
For easy testing, sample input is already given in the Github repo.
The results are then exported to a CSV file that can be easily read and used by any application that supports them.
FileIntel Issues and Solutions
FileIntel is a very nifty tool, but it is not without issues. For example, it streamlines the lookup process but it's still slow due to the sheer number of hashes it has to check. It took almost 5–6 hours to process hashes from a 2GB E01 image. This is most likely due to the fact that it only uses a single thread to run the program.
A blogger named Mark JX was able to cut down the lookup process by eliminating a lot of the hashes to lookup while using parallel grep commands. The challenge now is figuring out how to integrate these performance-optimizing techniques in FileIntel.
Additionally, in the case of the NSRL set, preprocessing (which takes a very long time) happens every time FileIntel is utilized. This can be mitigated by modifying the code such that it only does preprocessing once, but research is still being completed.
With these modifications, FileIntel can prove to be a formidable lookup tool that combines speed and efficiency which is especially true when including powerful hardware.

Volunteer Army to Pack One Million Meals at National Mall
WASHINGTON, D.C. - An army of volunteers, including a busload from Baltimore, will fill the National Mall tomorrow to prepare one million meals for the Capital Area Food Bank.
It's an AARP project for A Celebration of Service, with many of the meals going to seniors, veterans and first responders struggling to make ends meet.
The food bank reports that 13 percent of residents in Montgomery and Prince Georges counties are food insecure, with seniors the most at-risk group after children. Christy Page, outreach director at AARP Maryland, says volunteering is powerful on many levels.
"I'm hoping to really make a difference not only for those folks, but it makes a difference when you take a day out of your life for others," says Page.
More volunteers are needed for the event, and she encourages those who can't attend to take some time, even as little as five minutes, to help in their communities. A Celebration of Service is part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance on Sept. 11.
Brandon Edwards is a communications intern at AARP Maryland, and a student leader at Towson University. He rounded up 10 fellow students to help in the mall tomorrow, and feels a strong obligation to volunteer and advocate.
"Eighteen to 26, that age population has the biggest influence on social change, and politics and everything," says Edwards. "This age group has to be the biggest advocate for every other age group."
People looking for local volunteer opportunities can go to AARP's CreateTheGood.org to make connections, or visit the site to register volunteer time and projects.

Dow Jones Industrials Index Cash Socrates 'Dow Jones Industrials Index Cash' analysis for the Week of Monday September 25, 2017: Daily: Turning BACK DOWN; Weekly: Reaction High; Monthly: Moving Higher; Quarterly: In Breakout Mode and Yearly: Phase Transition Easing CAUTION. Market volumes are still at low levels from what we normally see at this time of the year. Adam Hamilton in his weekly essay dated September 22 wrote about the relationship between the Stock Market and Quantitative Tightening (QT) by the FED: "Don't let the complacent stock-market reaction this week fool you, quantitative tightening [QT] is a huge deal. It's the biggest market game-changer by far since QE's dawn! Starting to reverse QE via QT radically [by the Fed] alters market dynamics going forward. Like a freight train just starting to move, it doesn't look scary to traders yet. But once that QT train gets barreling at full speed, it's going to be a havoc-wreaking juggernaut." According to Socrates (SOC) the Dow is "Turning BACK DOWN" tomorrow and we will see a "Reaction High" for the rest of the week so, when Day Trading I will look to buy the E-MICRO EURO/USD FUTURES on the CME tomorrow and sell them sometime during the week.

My Take:Yes, there I a Cycle of Knowledge and certainly a Point to Ponder upon
"Spain has invaded Barcelona sending in an army of 16,500 as pretend riot police to effectively suppress and intimidate the people. Armed police have seized almost 10 million ballots for the referendum to shut down any democratic process showing the entire world that Spain is still fascist and that is really supported by Brussels. The Spanish police have beaten citizens as if this were some third world dictatorship demonstrating the democracy is truly dead in Europe." My Take:The EU is disintegrated at a fast pace. It certainly was interesting how the Socrates generated Global Market Watch gave us heads up last Wednesday about the EUR/USD collapse and the invasion by Spain of Barcelona. One more reason to buy the Martin Armstrong SOC Standard Membership.

Lightweight Model
This 36 lb. portable air conditioner offers 5000 BTU of comfort and is excellent for cooling spaces up to 150 sq.ft.
Our # Choice
Frigidaire FFRA0511R1
This 41 lb. portable air conditioner offers 5000 BTU of comfort and is excellent for cooling spaces up to 150 sq.ft.
Energy Efficient
This 45 lb. portable air conditioner offers 5500 BTU of comfort and is excellent for cooling spaces up to 200 sq.ft.
Window air conditioners are generally more efficient than their portable AC counterparts, but you can further improve the cooling power of your unit by getting something that matches your space. And sometimes that means going smaller, not larger.
Each summer, thousands of portable and window air conditioner units are sold during hot and sweltering summers. Though many consumers wait until it's too late to get help with their cooling, informed buyers can wade through the science of air conditioners to find a unit that fits their space best.
Case in point? Larger ACs aren't always better, and in fact, the US Department of Energy recommends AC units that are appropriate to the size of the space being cooled. "A small unit running for an extended period operates more efficiently and is more effective at dehumidifying than a large unit that cycles on and off too frequently," says the US Department of Energy's guide on room air conditioners.
They note that larger units can "perform less efficiently and less effectively than a smaller, properly sized unit" because the room will be cooled before it can be properly dehumidified, or have the moisture removed from the air. As a result, the air can feel humid and less than desirable, whereas a smaller unit will cool and dehumidify space at an appropriate rate, leaving you with cooler, comfortable air and circulation.
All that is to say: bigger isn't always better. So when you're looking for a window AC unit, consider that smaller units are often more effective – if you're looking to cool a small amount of space (if you're cooling a larger space, we also recommend a unit that's small but still powerful – read below).
Window Size (Width & Height)
The type of air conditioner that is feasible for your household is dependent on various factors, but none more important than the size of your window. Previously constructed houses usually feature smaller windows where standard air conditioners just won't fit.
The size of your window is also dependent upon the size of your room. If your room has a tiny window that cannot contain a standard air conditioner, you should look towards an air conditioner for a small window opening as they emerge as the only option in such situations.
Windows that measure less than 25 inches in width and are unable to open higher than 15 inches high are perfect for thin window air conditioners, eliminating the need to undertake any modification or renovation.
Power (BTUs)
Small air conditioners consume lesser power units than their larger counterparts, and this has profound implications. Air conditioner power is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs), which is a measurement of how much heat energy is being moved around.
Just to give you an idea, a match when lighted has a 1 BTU rating. Majority of the air conditioners that fit narrow windows fall between the 4000-6000 BTU ratings – enough to cool spaces as big as 400 square-feet.
The efficiency at which larger units cool considerable spaces is unprecedented, and it comes with the added advantage of paying a relatively smaller sum upfront.
Energy Efficiency (EER)
While installing air conditioners, one of the frequently asked questions is: "how will it affect my electricity bills?"
This is where EER, short for Energy Efficiency Ratio, provides a satisfactory answer. EER is the rating given to air conditioners pertaining to the amount of power they consume. It is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity (BTUs) by the power input (Watts) – the higher, the better.
The EER has a significant impact on the power bill that you receive. The higher the efficiency, the more it saves in electricity costs by using fewer watts – without hindering the cooling performance of your small air conditioner.
How We Found the Best Small Window AC Units
To help you come across the best compact window air conditioner that fits perfectly in your window, we invested considerable hours in mapping out the specifications and performance statistics of more than 30 models – ranging from Frigidaire to General Electric.
Throughout our research, analysis shows that the average small window air conditioner measures 15.5 inches in height and 15 inches in width. The average weight among the models that we measured came up to around 46.6 pounds, indicating the air conditioners' light-weightiness.
After thorough testing, ultimately we chose the best six small window air conditioners that stood out due to various factors, such as their remarkable energy efficiency, cooling performance, and excellent consumer experiences. We also considered lightweight air conditioners as part of our process.
In addition to Frigidaire's two mini window air conditioners, our list also includes one from hOmeLabs, General Electric (GE), Keystone and Haier.
6 Best Small Window Air Conditioners Reviewed
Frigidaire FFRA0511R1
Editor's #1 Choice

|41 lbs
|Cooling Area
|Up to 150 sq. ft.
|Estimated Yearly Energy Cost
The editor's choice on our list, the Frigidaire FFRA0511R1 5,000 BTU-unit cools quickly and won't keep you up at night with a lot of noise. The unit has full-width, top, two-way control for air direction. It also comes with mechanical rotary controls.
"If you have a smaller space to cool and a smaller budget to work with, the Frigidaire FFRA0511R1 is a simple air conditioner for any room up to 150 square feet making it a good pick for home offices," said The Spruce. "This 5,000 BTU unit gets experts' top marks for effectiveness and solid marks for noise, but it costs a lot less than most other window units." The unit is also recommended by Consumer Reports.
The mesh filter can be removed from the side and washed to reduce room odors, airborne particles, and bacteria. This makes for an environment that is both more comfortable and healthier for you and your family. The unit has a low-power start-up process that will save money by conserving energy. The restart will automatically resume once the power has been restored, operating at the earlier selected setting.
This A/C unit is easy to install in your window and comes with two cooling speeds and two fan speeds in addition to its two-way air direction. It cools down the room very fast and keeps it cool for hours and hours. The machine is very simple and gets the job done but doesn't come with many extra features. There is no digital thermostat, timer, or remote included, for example. Some users will appreciate its simplicity while others may wish for more.
At just 12 by 15 by 16 inches, this air conditioner is definitely a miniature unit. But side panels can be installed to make it fit into windows as wide as 36 inches. It's lightweight and makes less noise than larger units, though there is still some white noise present when the machine is on. Some may see this as a pro since it drowns out noise from outside. I, addition, the FFRA0511R1 doesn't require a single-circuit wall socket to function and has great temperature control.
For the best results, use this in an insulated room and try to keep it out of direct sunlight on very hot days. Keep in mind that the unit is intended to cool just a room, not an entire level of your house. It also has a one-year warranty included.
hOmeLabs Window Air Conditioner
Runner Up
|16 x 15.4 x 12 "
|36 lbs
|Cooling Area
|Up to 150 sq. ft.
|Estimated Yearly Energy Cost
The runner-up choice on our list, this air conditioner is a 5,000 BTU unit meant for indoor rooms 150 square feet and smaller. This hOmeLabs model comes with an air conditioner kit including window seal foam, leaf covers for the side panels, a support bracket, filter, and a user guide detailing drip-free installation instructions. For optimal results, the machine should be used in a small apartment, bedroom, or RV.
"This best-selling window-mounted air conditioner features seven speeds and two cool and fan settings," said Popular Mechanics. "An included installation kit has leaf guards and the unit has a washable feature which can be reused season after season."
If you own a lot of electronics and keep them in a small room, this A/C will help you keep the room temperature down and combat the heat they produce. To cool down your room quickly, just use the quick cool option on this unit and you'll have relief from the heat in about 10 to 15 minutes.
This quiet, miniature unit comes with two-way airflow, seven different speeds, and fan settings you can easily adjust. It doesn't have any digital controls, but also costs less than units that do. The machine has a reusable filter that can be removed and washed with dish soap and warm water. Alternatively, you can use a vacuum to clean it. When washing with water, make sure the filter has dried completely before putting it back in.
The unit measures 12 by 16 by 15.4 inches and is best for windows between 23 and 36 inches wide and no taller than 13 inches. When you're unpacking the machine, be mindful of the sharp edges along the back. Grab the sides instead of the back and front when you pick it up or wear gloves to protect your fingers.
Frigidaire FFRE0833Q1
Best for Medium-Sized Rooms
|15.2 x 16 x 12 "
|41 lbs
|Cooling Area
|Up to 150 sq. ft.
|Estimated Yearly Energy Cost
The best small air conditioner unit for medium size rooms, the FFRE0833Q1 is an 8,000 BTU mini-compact machine and works for spaces 350 square feet and smaller. The machine will cool the space down quickly on hot days and operates quietly so you can sleep while it's on. Recommended by Consumer Reports, this unit has a multi-speed fan and three speeds to choose from.
Both the operation and start-up conserve energy by using low power, while the electronic controls let you choose your preferred settings for comfort. It also has a display showing the temperature you've selected. This unit comes with a remote control that senses and displays the temperature so you can set it, see it, and maintain it from the comfort of your couch or bed.
The unit comes with a clean air ionizer that relieves allergies from impurities and pollen in the air and an 8-way design for comfort control. You can easily change the cool air direction no matter where you've mounted the unit in the room.
Unlike other machines, this unit isn't extremely noticeable from outside and doesn't protrude far out the window. It's also much lighter at under 50 pounds and can be installed fairly easily. The filter can be easily removed and cleaned as needed while the directional blades on the unit are very efficient.
Unboxing and installing the unit can take as little as 10 minutes as it's a straightforward process. Note that the bottom plate is irregular and slightly unconventional. The rear piece extends more than an inch down and may make sliding the unit in place above a sill more difficult, depending on the design of your window.
Haier HWE12XCR
Best for Large Rooms
|20.1 x 14.4 x 20.5 "
|70 lbs
|Cooling Area
|Up to 550 sq. ft.
|Estimated Yearly Energy Cost
The best small air conditioner for large rooms, this 12,000 BTU unit is built to cool down rooms no larger than 550 square feet. It's recommended by Consumer Reports, and like the GE AHM05LW mentioned above, has a magnetic remote control. It also has braille controls for blind or visually impaired users.
Choose between auto cool, three fan speeds (low, medium, or high), and three cooling speeds (low, medium, or high). Functions of this machine include "energy save" to conserve energy as it cools, the "cool" setting to cool down the air, "dehumidify" for humidity reduction, and a fan for air circulation. If you activate the energy saving function, the fan runs on low as the compressor turns off and returns to its previous setting when it kicks back on.
The machine has a digital display, electronic control panel, and a fully functioning remote. The controls are easy to navigate and simple to use. Although the stats for the HWE12XCR state that it works in windows 37.5 inches wide and smaller, it may fit in an even wider window since the fans extend outward on either side.
The unit cools down your room very quickly and the filter doesn't have to be cleaned very often compared to other units. Although it's powerful and gets the room temperature down quickly, it does so without destroying your power bill and costing a fortune. You can remove the filter to clean it by simply opening the compartment at front. There's a button that will alert you that it's time to clean the filter as soon as it's necessary.
Overall, this unit has a reasonable price and comes from a reputable manufacturer. Although there are cheaper 12k BTU machines on the market, this one has some extra features and is suitable for those who like their room very cool. It's clearly a well-constructed product built to last. Note that, though very effective at cooling, this unit is not as quiet as others.
Most Energy Efficient Small AC
|12.4 x 15.3 x 18.5 "
|45 lbs
|Cooling Area
|Up to 200 sq. ft.
|Estimated Yearly Energy Cost
The most energy-efficient small unit on our list, the AHM05LW is an energy star-rated, 115-volt unit. It can be used in a window between 24.5 and 36 inches wide. Recommended by Consumer Reports, the unit can be programmed to start and stop when you want it to and will instantly cool your room down. It comes with a handy magnetic remote so you won't lose the controller when it's not in use. This 24-hour timer is a handy feature that isn't found in many of the other models on our list.
The 5,500 BTU machine is quiet enough for you to sleep in the same room while it's running. You can use it as a main A/C for a small apartment or as a backup unit when your central air conditioner breaks down or needs servicing. It's not designed for storm windows, so make sure you plan accordingly.
If you're installing this unit against metal housing, you may have to use caulk for a more trustworthy seal against the heat and bugs from outdoors. For installing this in impact windows, the seals and hardware included with the AHM05LW may not work and you'll probably have to get creative and purchase extra implements.
This machine uses its condensate water for raising its Seer rating and cooling the coils instead of letting it drop outside. It comes with a plug that you may remove if you want to drain the water.
Keystone Window-Mounted
Low Cost AC
|15.5 x 17.5 x 18.2"
|45 lbs
|Cooling Area
|Up to 150 sq. ft.
|Estimated Yearly Energy Cost
If you're looking for a cooling solution for a smaller room, this Keystone unit is another great option. It's small enough to fit into most standard window spaces and has a cooling area of up to 150 sq. ft – perfect for small living rooms, bedrooms, and attic spaces.
Despite that small size, this unit still packs a pretty mean punch. "Very formidable air conditioner for the size and money." said one happy Amazon reviewer. "The temperature-sensing remote control is pretty cool… the backlit remote screen is nice, and ability to turn off all lighting on the face of the A/C unit itself is an appreciated detail"
It's pretty lightweight too at only a couple of pounds heavier than our number one choice. It also has a respectable energy efficiency rating of 11.2, so if you've been using a larger AC unit up until now, expect to reduce your energy output and cut costs.
It also boasts some smart programming features that take the energy saving potential up another notch. For example, you can activate the energy-saver mode to conserve even more energy or activate sleep mode so that the unit can gradually increase the room temperature while you're sleeping (thus reducing power output).
And speaking of sleeping, you'll have no trouble with that with this Keystone unit as it's super quiet. You'll hardly notice it's running. Two other features I should probably mention are the 1.3 pints per hour dehumidification rate and the auto-restart that saves your settings.
The best thing about this unit, though, has got to be the LCD remote control that makes it easy to control your temperature from the other side of the room. You don't have to get up in the middle of the night and walk over to the unit to change your settings. You can do everything at the touch of a button.

Useful Tips for Yearly A/C Maintenance
Before turning down the temperature on your window unit, you should ensure that it's gotten its annual check-up. Air conditioning units need to be maintained on a regular basis to stay functioning at optimal capacity. By following these easy guidelines every year, you can save money on repair costs and energy bills and stay cool in your home or office.
- Clean Out the A/C Vents: Regularly dusting is very important. If you've been putting this task off, now is the time to do it. You might also hire a professional to give your vents and air ducts a more thorough cleaning.
- Change your Unit's Filter: Make sure you stay on top of basic maintenance for your window unit, like changing the filter when it's needed. While central air systems need a filter change every few months or so, a window unit will only require a yearly replacement. Mark this on your calendar so you remember to do it.
- Check the Freon: Freon is a refrigerant used by most A/C systems as a cooling agent. Ideally, you won't ever have to change or fill the Freon in your window unit. But when you're doing your yearly maintenance check, it's good to have a professional HVAC technician search for leaks.
- Look for Blockages: The area of your unit that sucks air into its system must remain uncovered. This should be checked more than once a year.
- Coil Fin Care: You're A/C unit's coil fins can get bent easily and lead to problems for the machine. These fins can, thankfully, be restored easily with a fin comb. Check that the amount of fins per inch match up to the teeth count of the comb you're using so it can be used how it's intended. Combing can restore the fins efficiently and bring your unit back to its original form.
- Storing and Preparation: If your window unit is just used seasonally, it should be inspected thoroughly both before and after every season it's in use. These routine maintenance steps must be followed before storage and once again before the season begins. Inspect the seals to check for gaps that could lead to cool air leakages.
If your unit is used more than just seasonally, get a protective cover to place over it in the winter. This will prevent damages that could harm its efficiency. Choose a covering that doesn't obstruct airflow and will securely attach to the machine.
If you do hire an HVAC tech to check your Freon levels, have them look at the coils and electrical controls while they're at it. They can calibrate the thermostat while they're there, too. All of these rules will ensure that your unit stays functioning at its best and keeps you nice and comfortable even on the hottest of summer days.
Calculating your Running Costs
Small window air conditioners enjoy the benefit of having a comparatively inexpensive price point, and running costs are lower as well. There are several factors that influence your running costs, such as the units EER rating, which gives an idea as to how much power (watts) it consumes for the cooling output (BTUs).
Additionally, the running cost of a unit is also affected by the various settings that modern window air conditioners feature. For instance, a unit that is running on a fan-only setting will consume less electricity than one that is utilizing the full strength of its compressor.
Functions, such as timers and sleep mode can also prove to be the difference as sleeping with a timer on can result in extra savings as opposed to an air conditioner that operates throughout the night.
To figure out the running cost of your window air conditioning unit, start by figuring how much ampere the unit draws. Look for either the specification sheet of the unit, or search for the model number online.
Once you have the amperes, multiply it by the voltage power it consumes. A standard 8,000 BTUs window air conditioning unit consumes 6 amps and 110 volts.
6 x 110 = 660 watts – that is the amount of power your air conditioner consumes. To get the hourly rate of consumption, divide this number by 1000.
In this case, the example comes out to be 0.66 kWh (kilowatt hour). Multiplying it by the average unit cost per kWh across the United States will give you your units running cost per hour. Here's the answer in this example:
0.66 x 12.43 cents = $8.2 cents/hour; or $61 a month.
How To Size A Window Air Conditioner Correctly
Buy an air conditioner too small, and you will sweat yourself through summer. Buy one that's too big, and feel the ineffective dehumidification in the room. This is why buying an air conditioner that fits the space is important.
The size of the window air conditioner is dependent upon various factors, but none more important than the space size. You can't expect a 5000 BTU unit to cool down a 650 square-feet room. As a rule of thumb, air conditioners need 20 BTU per square-foot of the space.
There are various other factors, such as is the room exposed to sunlight or not? How many people occupy the room? Is the unit being installed in a bedroom, kitchen, or lounge? Buying the right sized window air conditioner is imperative to ensure maximum cooling efficiency.
Installing Window AC Units
Small window AC units are not heavy and can be installed easily, and that is why many people look to install a window air conditioning unit by themselves.
Before you set out on your AC installation, ensure that the power outlet is within 5 feet of the unit's dedicated window and that you have the tools required for the installation.
Prepare Your Window
Start by measuring your window and marking the center point to ensure the flanked panels reach the sides of your window evenly.
Then, slide the panels that come with your unit in their appropriate places and secure the adjustable panels with screws. Screws not tightened enough can result in instability and the unit falling.
Install The AC Unit
Open the window and lift the air conditioner into the window. While the unit is capable of being lifted by a single person, having a pair of extra hands ensures there is enough stability and balance for a job well done. Tightly close the window on the top with most of the unit hanging outside the window, so make sure the unit is secured and tightened in the place.
Attach Panels And Brackets
With the laborious part of the task behind you, finish up your installation by screwing the L brackets and the accompanying panels to prevent the air conditioning from loosening or being pushed up.
If provided, add padding to the side of your unit for maximum security. Once you're done installing the panels and brackets your work is done! Turn on your AC and enjoy the cool change in temperature.
Below is a video guide to installing a window air conditioner in your home.
Other Smaller AC Alternatives
While window air conditioners continue to lead consumer preferences in regards to an optimal cooling option for small spaces, there are other smaller air conditioning alternatives available, such as:
Wall Mounted
Wall mounted air conditioners, also called split system air conditioners, are easy-to-install and come with the advantage of being remote controlled. As one of the most popular air conditioning options used worldwide, split air conditioners offer excellent cooling as well as heating functions. However, compared to windows and portable they are on the heftier side and require a professional to install them correctly. Add their power consumption charges, and they are the most expensive option among the three alternatives.
Portable air conditioners as the name implies, these have the distinct advantage of being easily moved around. They require a very easy window duct installation after which they can function immediately. Some even come with added heating capabilities for winters. However, portable air conditioners can be expensive and use up a considerable amount of energy to cool small spaces. Their power levels may prove insufficient for some users, making for a hefty bill.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Watts Does A Small Window AC Use?
A small window air conditioner can use anywhere from 500 watts to 800 watts on average, whereas the medium and larger units consume in the range of 900-1440 watts.
How Many Amps Does A Small Window AC Unit Use?
Small window air conditioning units are usually energy-efficient, and the amperage rating can range from 15 amps to 20 amps.
How Do You Clean One Of These Tiny Air Conditioners?
Cleaning a small window air conditioner doesn't have to be tedious. Unscrew the front panel, take out the filter, wash it and let it dry. Next, vacuum the evaporator coils thoroughly using the brush attachment and follow the same procedure for the condenser coils at the back. Lastly, if any coil fin seems bent, use a fin comb to straighten them out.
How Long Is The Warranty On These Models? Can I Purchase A Longer Warranty?
Most small window air conditioners come with the standard 1-year warranty, which covers services and any manufacturing defect that could lead to a problem in the unit's functioning. Along with the standard warranty, some manufacturers also allow buyers to buy extended warranties (3 year – 5 year) for an additional premium of 10-25% of the purchase price.
Window air conditioners provide consumers the necessary escape from the scorching heat of the summer, without straining the pocket thanks to their energy efficient operation.
After a careful and thorough analysis of the available alternatives to choose the best small window air conditioning options for you and our preferred choice is the Frigidaire FFRA0511R1. With its two-way air direction and mechanical rotary controls, this unit provides exemplary performance for small rooms of up to 150 square feet.

Have you ever wondered how to get that crisp, clear, perfect image on Instagram? How some food photos look good enough to eat, while others look a little... ick?
In this week's quick tip of the week, I'll show you how to turn your food photo from "are you sure that's edible?" to "holy cow, get in my belly now!" in less than five minutes. That's no joke - it's THAT easy. Really, the most difficult thing about this tutorial is not eating the cookies before I finished taking photos.
what you'll need
Here's what you'll need to produce a studio-quality image in five minutes flat:
- A spot near a window
- Daylight (clouds or sunshine work!)
- A sheet of white paper
- Your object(s)
This little trick is all about lighting. By using daylight near a window and not in direct sunlight, you'll create the nice, soft shadows. Is it cloudy out? Even better! The after photo in this post was actually taken on a very overcast day. With sunlight, your shadows will be a bit harsher, but cloudy will give you just enough light, unless of course, it's thunderstorming.
the set up
The set up is so incredibly easy. Grab a spot near a window. Grab a sheet of white paper - even the simple, day-to-day computer paper works. As long as your object is smaller that the paper, you're golden. Here's a look at my crazy simple set up. It's almost funny how simple it is:
I lightly fold the sheet of paper to more easily prop the piece of paper up against an object behind the subject (in this case, cookies). When you shoot, you'll be eye-level with your subject, which will give the image a nice, seamless background, much like a mini studio photo! There are more advanced ways to set up a lightbox for images like this, but this is the fast and easy, super budget-friendly method.
See the above photo? The colors are off, the shadows are harsh, the background is dark. All-in-all, not a great photo. Do you know why? It was taken with the curtains drawn and flash on. The iPhone's flash is not your friend in most situations. Turn it off! Always! Okay, almost always. There's a time and place for everything, but when natural light is available, there's no need for it.
You can easily toggle your iPhone camera's flash: When your camera app is open, in the top right corner is a little lighting bolt. Tap it and three options appear: Auto, On and Off. Tap off and you're good to go.
Here's the finished product with natural light. Open up that curtain, let the light in. Jump down to eye level and once your camera app is open, tap your subject on the screen to get that beautiful focus. With my final photo, I popped it into one of my favorite mobile apps, VSCO, brightened it up, sharpened just a bit and lightened the shadows. Easy as pie, right? Er, cookies.
Post in the comments your before and after photos using the 5-minute photo fix or tag me on Instagram @brendagdalton. I'd love to see how you use this quick method to improve your photos.

So, I recently got quite carried away with the bounty of winter squash now gracing the front tables of the produce department, and came home with about a dozen, in several varieties. You'll head about some others soon enough, but this recipe is simple as can be and incredibly frugal. I was browsing through my beloved copy of Vegetarian Planet by Didi Emmons (one of my favorite cookbooks), looking for new ideas, and came across something I've never tried: a masa and squash cake from El Salvador.
Being a tamale lover and, obviously, a squash maniac, I had to give it a try. It sounded like just the kind of comfort food I start craving this time of year. And I was right! Honestly, what it reminded me of quite a bit in texture and overall comfort snackiness was a knish, even though the filling is made with potatoes. Think of it as a Central American counterpart to this Eastern European treat.
2 delicata squashes (these are the lovely ones that look like huge yellow cucumbers with green stripes and ridges)
2 cups masa harina
1/2 cup shredded cheese: if you have smoked cheese on hand this would be best, but if not, use Monterrey Jack with 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt, fresh black pepper to taste
1 cup tepid water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve the squashes lengthwise and remove the seeds. Bake on a cookie sheet or in a glass baking dish for 40 minutes, until very tender. Let cool a bit, then scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl and mash. In another mixing bowl, combine masa, cheese, paprika (if using) and salt and pepper, then add to the mashed squash. Add water to mixture and mix well.
Starting with a handful of dough that's a bit smaller than a pool ball, form patties about 3-4 inches wide – this should create about 10. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the first 5 patties (or fewer, depending on the size of your skillet). Fry for about 5 minutes each side, or until deep golden brown and crispy on the outside (they will be soft inside). Repeat with remaining batch or two. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and chives if desired.

New InvestRight app video series launched
Across Canada this March, institutions, organizations and individuals are embracing the tagline "Recognize it. Report it. Stop it." in support of Fraud Prevention Month. Educating and empowering the public with the tools and information needed to recognize the investment fraud warning signs are critical first steps in protecting against financial scams.
Today, we launched a new video series 'David vs. the Be Fraud Aware App' aimed at demonstrating the power of the 'Be Fraud Aware' mobile app in spotting potential investment fraud, protecting against it and reporting it.
The 'David vs. the Be Fraud Aware App' videos, found on YouTube and our Be Fraud Aware App page, includes three short clips demonstrating the ability to use the Be Fraud Aware mobile application for iPhone and iPad to access real-time news, information and on-the-go protection against fraud. The videos depict David, a scam artist, relaying exciting information about suspect investment opportunities, while simultaneously showing navigation through the application to expose his offer as fraudulent. The use of the app renders David powerless.
We are also encouraging people to use the InvestRight Private Placement Market for Retail Investors guide. It explains the difference between public and private markets, how the private market works, and points out the risks of business failure and/or investment fraud that interested parties should be aware of.
The InvestRight 'Guide to Investing' and video series join a host of already existing BCSC resources that combine entertainment and education to protect the public, including the Be Fraud Aware app, additional videos, quizzes and more.
During Fraud Prevention Month and beyond, the BCSC remains committed to helping these at-risk individuals stay informed with timely investor education and investor protection news, alerts about scams happening in British Columbia, and unbiased information on new investment products or emerging fads.
Watch Twitter for the hash tag #BeFraudAware during Fraud Prevention Month for news and tips on how to avoid investment fraud.

I know I know, I am horribly late with this post, so that is why I decided to combine two movies in one review. On October 21 I finally went to see A Star Is Born and last weekend I went to see Bohemian Rhapsody. Both movies are about music, so combining them in this review makes perfect sense.
A Star Is Born
I first heard about this movie through Spotify. All of a sudden, Shallow appeared in a New Music Friday playlist. I listenend to the song, liked it and went to look for the movie. Well, that movie wasn't released for another week.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper play the lead roles: Gaga as Ally and Cooper as Jack. I never heard of Bradley Cooper before, oops. Jack is a country singer who struggles with his career and suffers from self distruction. Ally is a waitress who never sings her own songs, but has a ridiculous amount of talent. Once Jack and Ally run into each other at Ally's gig at the bar where she works. They hang out and fall in love. Ally's career knows an impressive start, but how is Jack coping with this?
Before I finally found time to go to the theatre to see A Star Is Born, I already knew the soundtrack. I listened to it a lot for those two weeks. In this movie we finally get to see Lady Gaga's huge vocal capacities and qualities, because trust me, she has them. There is no autotune or whatsoever. The story has been excecuted really well. I heard that it's a remake, but I only saw this one. I strongly recommend you to watch this movie in theatres, but you probably have to hurry.
Bohemian Rhapsody
On to the next movie, Bohemian Rhapsody. Yes, this is exactly about what you might think it's about. I saw the trailer in theatres when I watched Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again and wanted to see this one.
Bohemian Rhapsody tells the story of Queen, from the start to their Live Aid performance. In the movie, you see Freddy Mercury (portrayed by Rami Malek) whilst songwriting and his struggles with fame, sexuality, family and health. However, these scenes are mixed with the vocals and images of the real Freddy Mercury. Why? Very simple: Rami Malek can't sing. Nobody can sing like Freddy Mercury. Moreover, I think that the Live aid performance is too iconic to reconstruct. Again, this is a biopic, not a documentary.
Again, I strongly recommend you to watch this one in theatres, because of the performances and music. I'm not a huge fan of Queen's music, but they played such a significant role in today's music (industry) that this movie is a must see for everyone.
These were my mini movie reviews. Which movie have you seen and did you enjoy it?

Tradition and modernity meet in Coburg and the surrounding area. Coburg's Marktplatz (marketplace) in the heart of the old town is vivid evidence of this. The main features of it and the surrounding buildings have remained unchanged for centuries. And yet the traditional meeting place for young and old embodies the modern interpretation of urban development with its inviting gastronomy, impressive lighting, contemporary sculptures and lively trick fountains.
If you are thinking of shopping, then you will get whatever your heart desires in Coburg. Take some time and enjoy relaxed shopping in the old town. Large department store chains can be found here as well as medieval retailers. Together, they give the city its unmistakable charm. The Coburg weekly market is a special attraction for tourists and locals. Even if you don't want to buy any fruit or vegetables, a stroll through the colorful market is "mandatory".

Thai Government Proposes Compulsory Travel Insurance for Foreigners
BANGKOK – All foreign tourists may soon be required to have compulsory travel insurance before entering Thailand under a proposal put forward by a committee of the Tourism and Sports Ministry, according to Jaturon Phakdeewanit, director of the Tourism Safety and Security Standards
According to Jaturon, visitors without travel insurance have cost Thailand at least 3 billion baht ($A117 million) a year for their medical treatments at state hospitals.
"We need to push this through as soon as possible because the problem is becoming more serious," he said.
Hospitals have until now often been left carrying the cost of medical treatment of tourists injured during their stay in Thailand and who have no means to pay their bills.
Government officials will be discussing compulsory travel insurance with tourism operators about the best approach to implement the new rule, before submitting the proposal to the cabinet for approval, Jaturon said.
Compulsory travel insurance documents will likely be inspected at immigration counters upon arrival, as many visitors do not need visa to enter the country, he added.
Tourism is a major industry in Thailand, with more than 14 million people visiting the country since January 1, generating $US20.5 billion ($A27.4 billion) dollars in revenue.
