This week it's all about the glory that is the tart cherry. My little sister used to climb the cherry tree in my grandparent's back yard and fight the birds just to have a few. Things aren't quite that bad for me.
Summer squash is still at the market, and our very first raspberries have started (the farm I work for is in Pennsylvania, so we're a few weeks behind the places in Maryland and Virginia.
I am not a fan of vegan food, for the simple reason that an existence without cheese is not something I am willing to contemplate. At all. For even a nanosecond. Color me pleasantly surprised by the brown basmati rice lemon zucchini salad from V Picnic Club. This ALMOST makes up for Juan Carlos not opening his taco stand at Mt. Pleasant this year. Almost.

App developers, stores and payment providers cross the threshold into the Bango ecosystem to converge, grow and thrive.
By bringing businesses together and powering e-commerce with unique data-driven insights, Bango delivers new business opportunities and new dimensions of growth for customers around the world. Being inside the Bango circle means global merchants including Amazon, Google and Microsoft can work together with payment partners from Africa to the Americas, accelerating the performance of everyone on the inside.
Bango. Think inside the circle.
Founded in 1999 and listed on The London Stock Exchange (AIM: BGO) in 2005, the Bango Platform is deployed with the world's leading app stores. Global leaders plugging into Bango include Amazon, Google, Samsung and Microsoft.
Bango is growing rapidly and is increasingly vital to leading mobile brands that support Bango's vision: to make a frictionless payment experience available to every mobile device user in the world.
Bango's journey
Formed in 1999, Bango was the pioneer of mobile internet payments, partnering with leading operators to launch 'charge to bill' services and opening-up mobile payments to early adopters and major content publishers. From 2001 to 2005, Bango established the "browse and buy" model for mobile payments. This technology delivered a familiar e-commerce experience on a mobile phone screen. By 2005, when Bango floated on AIM on the London Stock Exchange, Bango had a broad section of content providers using its direct-to-consumer billing platform. The arrival of faster mobile internet connections and better devices gradually drove more usage of mobile services.
As the smartphone revolution became increasingly prevalent, and app stores emerged as a primary distribution channel, Bango has become increasingly influential in the space, powering payments for many of the world's largest app stores. This had two significant impacts on paid content which combined to transform Bango's business:
- Users discovered that smartphones were good internet devices. More than that, they were great for consuming and paying for content of all types.
- These smartphone platforms came with a pre-loaded content ecosystem.
Bango recognized its payments technology was as relevant to a global app store as to a global publisher. Thus, the company focused its attention on the big smartphone platforms, and in 2010 struck a deal with RIM to provide billing for its BlackBerry App World store.
In October 2012 Bango announced that its total reach for mobile payments exceeded one billion users. By the end of that year, the first Google Play market to capitalize on Bango's state of the art billing was launched. 2013 saw Bango's first integration with Microsoft's Windows Phone Store. In 2014 Bango launched its first live markets with Amazon Appstore and Samsung GALAXY Apps, as well as group-wide partnerships with leading MNO groups including Deutsche Telekom and Etisalat, cementing its place as the de-facto leader in app store carrier billing.
Pioneering carrier billing for app stores, Bango launched the first Google Play carrier billing deployments in Africa and Latin America in 2015, and in 2016 Bango technology was selected to open-up the paid content market in India. Through an extended partnership with Microsoft, which covers all Windows 10 devices, Bango activated the first carrier billing launch for Xbox One content in 2016.
Unique post launch technologies Bango Boost and Bango Dashboard were launched in 2015 and 2016, proven to grow the number of paying carrier billing customers and increase payment success. Bango partners use these tools to grow their carrier billing business.
Bango today
Bango payment technology powers the global leaders. More major app stores have activated billing routes through the Bango Platform than any other carrier billing provider, and today Bango technology powers more app store carrier billing deployments than anyone else (Progressive Equity Research Limited ("PERL")).
Reaching a larger share of the people than ever, Bango has an addressable base of over 1.7bn. Only Bango processes carrier billing transactions across all four major US MNOs, representing more than 300m connected devices.
The Bango Platform is designed to ensure that payment can be collected for any content or service, sold from any internet enabled device, using any alternative payment method.
Bango post-launch technology is proven to deliver higher revenues of between 20-40%. Award-winning Bango Boost technology provides insights and recommendations to payment providers and merchants, giving partners that integrate with the Bango Platform an important competitive advantage.
As more customers and partners adopt the Bango Platform and as more transactions are analyzed by Bango technology, the platform becomes increasingly powerful, providing unique insights that drive revenue growth. This in turn drives more customers to use the Bango Platform, fuelling a virtuous circle of success for the Bango Platform and the internet industry.

After a few bad car accidents, I've had the mentality that everyone behind the wheel of a car is trying to kill me.
However, after finally getting out on a bike a few times in the past couple days, I've loved it.
It makes me really excited to get over the butt-hurting phase and just get out an go: no over-heated car, no stopping at the pump. No better way to enjoy a beautiful day!
Anyway, I'm sorry for the blogs of lacking substance the past couple days. It's been a whirlwind of studying, exam taking, saying goodbye, wishing I had more time with new friends, and being sad to leave old ones.
I'm leaving tomorrow and I haven't so much as unzipped a suitcase to begin packing. I never thought I'd say this, but I actually might really miss it here.
Ok well, last night out on State Street tonight!
Cheers to all the other graduates and happy summertime,

The study of pre-20th century tonal harmony is completed with a consideration of chromatic techniques, particularly those found in the music of the first half of the 19th century. An exhaustive study of later 19th century chromaticism is beyond the scope of a course at this level, but is intended that students will at least acquire the ability to look further into the music of that period as they encounter it. In keeping with the stylistic orientation of the course, emphasis is placed upon developing facility with instrumental textures and working with some of the smaller forms found in 19th century music.

This week's Listmania prompt is, who was your biggest or most embarrassing crush? Who makes your heart go crazy these days (or is at least easy on the eyes)?
My list is very short! And easy, as the answer is one and the same to both questions: Jon Bon Jovi. Back in the 80's, now, always and forever!
And I'm not embarrassed in the least 🙂

6 Changes We Always Thought Google Would Make to SEO that They Haven't YetBlog Post: April 18, 2014
I'm still finding that rel=canonical is being treated as more of a suggestion than a directive. If a non-canonical URL has a good number of links pointing to it, especially if you're still linking to it internally (which, obviously, you shouldn't be doing, but we in-house SEOs know those situations can crop up), I still see that URL coming up as a result for a search that I'd want to see the canonical URL returned for.
If you can ditch the non-canonical page and 301 requests for it to the canonical, you're going to get more reliable results.

Last week I posted my thoughts about the XBox One announcement and something just didn't sit right with me about the focus on the Kinect integration. I've thought about it and watched the press conference over and over and the things I saw should have gotten me excited. The ability to control my TV and game system with just hand gestures and talking to it is like Iron Man style Jarvis technology. Why shouldn't seeing that in action get me excited. This weekend, I finally figured out why.
It's Nintendo's fault. Specifically it is the fault of the Wiimote and Wiimotion Plus. Let me explain.
When we first saw the Wii, everyone got the impression that the technology inside the system and controller would be able to accurately track the motions of my Wiimote but quickly found out it wasn't one to one readings, but gestures that were recognized.

Park Life
Shooting sometimes hundreds of people each Sunday presents me with an interesting problem. What, in the name of all that's good and true, am I going to do with all these images. For the Silhouette shoot I decided to put everyone in a London park. I have always been amazed how, on a warm Summer day most of the population seem to fill the parks. Elbow to elbow different cultures and age groups just get on with their thing in total harmony. Barbecues, baseball, nappy changing, skateboarding, tai chi, and mini raves all happening at the same time. Humanity is alive and well.

Behavior is something which can be overt as well as covert. It is very essential that we have a proper understanding of the behavior to resolve conflicts that one encounters. Using the basic methodologies along with Neuro linguistic programming techniques have been helpful in successfully nailing down the problems effectively.
There is no training to be a parent or if there is, then how many parents take it. Two adult individuals get married and bear a child and then the actual story begins……… MY CHILDREN they should be the best, obedient, smart, good in everything, good looks because they are my children…the legacy they carry genetically. Is that enough? Does it fulfill your responsibility as parents? Only your wish and genes you have transferred would help them to be what you want them to be and suppose they don't turn out to be the person you wanted, then what? Have you thought of the fact that your children are individuals and would have their own identity, likes and dislikes?
Yes, no parents can guarantee child's success or failure. As parents they can surely prepare their children to be strong enough to overcome setbacks. As parents we should be helping them to find their own identity, we should be support pillars in their journey of self discovering. Remember it is their Journey of self discovering.
Take sessions on improving Couple relationships, dealing with their marital and parenting issues, understanding and improving on Child parent relationships.
I took couple of counseling sessions from Nupur related to my daughter who is in class 4th about her fuss during meals and her fear of getting down the steps. Before coming to her I was told by another counselor that my daughter may be suffering from Autism. After sessions from Nupur where she interacted separately with me and my daughter and a session together there is a drastic change in my daughter and I also understood my flaws as a mother and too much expectations from my daughter. My daughter is certainly not Autistic.
Mrs Payal Sharma, Teacher SSSVV, Indore
I took sessions from Nupur for my daughter who is in class 7th. We both had differences and sometimes arguments would leave emotional bruises. Sessions helped a lot to build a bridge between this beautiful relationship of mother and a daughter instead of a thick wall
Mrs Binita Mohata, Indore
Me and wife had difference related to many small issues that started adding poison in our daily lives. It was so bad that she even left home and our daughter and went to her parents place. Sessions helped both of us to understand each other as individuals and accept the differences. Differences are still there we still have arguments then now they are not that nasty and dirty. We make peace before the day ends. Thank you Nupur.
Mr.and Mrs Mittal, Dewas

September 13, 2016
NEW YORK, New York, September 13, 2016 – The Center for Architecture will present Authenticity and Innovation, opening on Friday, September 30 at 5:00 pm. Curated by Donald Albrecht, the exhibition, which will kick off Archtober 2016, NYC's Architecture and Design Festival, features adaptive reuse and preservation projects outside the purview of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Preservation and reuse are particularly relevant topics for New York City, a metropolis characterized by perennial change, continually reshaped by development pressures and architectural tastes. Many historic buildings are protected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission – about 1,500 individual landmarks and 139 historic districts. Authenticity and Innovation looks at unprotected buildings and how they have been innovatively repurposed for our time. The renewal of these structures speaks to a growing appreciation of time-honored materials and craftsmanship and their prominent place in their respective communities.
The exhibition is presented as part of "Authenticity and Innovation," the presidential theme of Carol Loewenson, FAIA, 2016 AIANY President. The theme explores the tensions and opportunities between new technologies, new businesses, and existing buildings and neighborhoods. "The exhibition focuses on buildings that are not landmarked and could easily have been demolished, but instead were preserved and transformed for new use," said Loewenson. "The inherent value of the selected projects can be understood through an economic, sustainability, and cultural lens, as well as for the material qualities of the architecture."
From an abandoned trolley terminal turned underground park to a diner turned community event space, the exhibition will explore 28 New York City projects given new life by creative architects, developers, owners, and tenants. Original photography by Robert Stephenson shows the projects in their context, be it a neighborhood of old industrial buildings or a block of new developments. These photographs will be presented in contrast to historic images of the projects in their original use.
Authenticity and Innovation will also feature video testimonials by users of the adapted spaces, including Ellen Driscoll and Tony Gerber, artists with studios in the Old American Can Factory, and Alexander Olch, founder of the Metrograph Theater, formerly a warehouse.
Curator Donald Albrecht notes that the featured projects raise questions about preservation in New York City. How can the city accommodate increasing density and sustainability goals while preserving the city's historic character? What is the relationship between preservation and gentrification? Albrecht writes, "…these projects…represent the dynamic fusion of new and old that is the core of what is authentically New York."
Reception and Preview
Friday, September 30 at 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

About the Center for Architecture
The Center for Architecture is the premier cultural venue for architecture and the built environment in New York City, informed by the complexity of the City's urban fabric and in dialogue with the global community. The Center shares a home with the AIA New York Chapter and has the unique advantage of drawing upon the ideas and experiences of practicing architects to produce thought-provoking exhibitions, informative public programs, and quality design education experiences for K-12 students. It also leads New York City's annual month-long architecture and design festival, Archtober. The Center for Architecture's aim is to further public knowledge about New York City architecture and architects, foster exchange and collaboration among members of the design, development, building, scholarly, and policy sectors, and inspire new ideas about the role of design in communities by presenting contemporary and practical issues in architecture and urbanism to a general audience. http://cfa.aiany.org

Long Ride Shields, a Sparks, Nevada based manufacturer of aftermarket motorcycle accessories, is pleased to announce the introduction of the new 'Taka' re-curve windshield for the Honda Gold Wing touring bike.
The 'Taka', which is Japanese for hawk or falcon, pays homage to the Gold Wing emblem Honda has used for decades. Long Ride Shields has long been an innovative designer of custom windshields designed to reduce the buffeting created as a motorcycle slices through the wind and to improve safety and the stability while operating a motorcycle. The 'Taka' shield is a significantly enhanced design over the OEM windshield and reduces buffeting by more than 60%. Most windshields provide a reduction for the driver, but the passenger suffers greatly as wind surrounds the passenger and creates an uncomfortable situation. The 'Taka' all but eliminates this situation for the passenger which recent tests have revealed.
Long Ride Shields uses simulated wind tunnel testing to ensure the design of the shield maximizes the lift provided by the re-curve design. This design concept originated in the design of automobiles as a mechanism to redirect air around the vehicle to increase fuel economy. The Gold Wing, much to Honda's credit, is one of the most cutting-edge touring bikes on the market with its sleek front fairing that includes integrated headlights and vent systems. Long Ride Shields has followed the aerodynamics of the front fairing on the Gold Wing to allow the air to climb at the same angle and transition from the fairing onto the windshield without interruption. This innovative design allows the air to follow the gentle re-curve at the top and lift the air at a slightly higher level than a traditional re-curve design. When the new 'Taka' shield was tested by local Members of the GWRRA in Reno, Nevada, all test riders stated that the redirection of air around them and their passengers was significant, which ultimately resulted in a much smoother and more enjoyable riding experience.
The 'Taka' will be offered in two sizes with several tint options. Introductory pricing for the new 'Taka' will start at $209.00 and will be available beginning March 27, 2015. The windshield is only offered in FMR coated Lexan polycarbonate with glass-coating on both sides. The 'Taka' comes with a standard 1-year warranty. You can learn more about the 'Taka' and other Long Ride Shields products by calling 1-855-566-4743 or by visiting www.longrideshields.com.

A Lesson In Life…………
I found this on www.indianchild.com. This site is full of some lovely quotes but I particularly liked this one and could relate to it:
A Lesson in Life
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Add first-time filmmaker Pete Jones to the list of folks seeing red over HBO's documentary series Project Greenlight.
"I go to these speaking engagements and a lot of kids come up to me and say, 'After seeing the show, I don't think I want to get into movies,'" Jones laments to TV Guide Online. "That's frustrating to me. I hoped they would say, 'If this schmo can go make a movie, then I can go put some money together and make a movie myself.'"
Project Greenlight chronicles the making of Stolen Summer, the indie comedy Jones directed after his script won Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's screenwriting contest. Like the film's stars, Aidan Quinn and Kevin Pollak, Jones admits the documentary unfairly portrayed events on the set. "I don't mean to be rude, but Joey Buttafuoco's famous," groans the up-and-comer. "So, I kind of want to be famous for being a really good writer or a really good director, not for being this goofball on [Project Greenlight]."Speaking of accurate portrayals, what are Damon and Affleck who serve as producers on Summer (opening Friday) really like when the cameras stop rolling? "Matthew and Benjamin, they're just regular guys from Boston," he happily notes. "They are just like the guys that I went to high school with, except they're richer, better looking and more famous."

East Asia Unit Assignment
"C Work"
1. Why has the issue of U.S.-China relations taken on greater importance in recent years?
The issue of relations between the two countries has taken on greater importance due to recent advancements in China. Despite the country's successful reform, its approach to concepts such as trade and the rights of their citizens has yet to change. For example, Chinese president Hu Jintao is not interested in accepting Western political ideals. Like every other country, he is only interested in what benefits his own government. The United States feels the same way, and is hoping for some changes to take effect. Otherwise, its own economy will be affected by China's resistance. The possibility of a trade war is looming, but should be avoided at all costs. China is now a force to be reckoned with, what with its impressive military. In addition to having the world's largest army, it intends to advance its nuclear weaponry. This means China is highly likely to take on other countries, the United States being no exception.
2. Why did the Opium War of 1839 - 1842 mark a turning point in China's relations with the outside world? The Opium War marked a turning point in China's relations with the outside world because they were forced to interact with another country. Prior to the opium trade, they were self-sufficient, and wanted nothing to do with anyone but their own people. After the disastrous test run, they were determined to shut everyone out. However, the British force kept the Chinese doors open for business. This led to other countries worming their way into Chinese territory, much to their dismay.
3. How did the values and the policies of the United States contribute to the rise of Chinese nationalism? Because the United States was so determined to make its mark, the country inadvertently contributed to nationalism in China. Every policy they designed was blatantly in favor of the West, and left the Chinese feeling mistreated. To make matters worse, the allied Western countries terrorized China, going as far as to burn down a palace. The Chinese retaliated against the results of the attacks by revolting.
4. What were the main reasons that the United States made little effort to support the government of Chiang Kai-shek against the communists in the late 1940s? During World War II, the United States made it a priority to support Chiang Kai-shek's government during their dispute with the communists. After the war, however, the relationship between two countries drastically changed. The United States had grown stronger, and had plenty of other issues to worry about. China had since switched paths, what with the communists steadily gaining power. Mao Zedong disapproved of the United States' support, and set to work dismantling Chiang's rule. After Chiang Kai-shek fled to modern day Taiwan, the United States was advised to leave the country alone.
5. What was the impact of the Korean War on U.S.-China relations? When the Korean War began, the United States wasted no time defending Formosa, bringing along other countries to assist in the anti-communist fight. Despite a truce being formed, the relationship between America and China worsened. The United States was already wary of the country due to their ties with the Soviet Union. They declined to recognize China, and formed an alliance with the anti-communist Kuomintang government. Still fighting the United States' influence, Mao was determined to erase all evidence of their presence in China. He forced American establishments out of the country, and welcomed the Russians, even going as far as to make Russian the new official foreign language. Meanwhile, the military was working hard to brainwash American wartime prisoners. The United States policy was heavily focused on halting China's growth. America began forming alliances with China's surrounding countries, pledging to fight back. However, their efforts

Thanksgiving is next week and this year I am going all out with my table decorations. I bought some new plates and napkins which I will show you later this week, but the piece I am most excited about is this gorgeous hand hammered hand tray that is part of the Heart of Haiti "gifts that give hope" available for purchase at Macy's.
Decorate your table this Thanksgiving using the Heart of Haiti Metal Hand Tray
When I heard the story behind these pieces that Macy is selling, I knew I wanted to share it all with you. You see, over in Haiti, there are these amazing Haitian artisans who work hard to help provide for their families. In fact, the average yearly income in Haiti is about $400. I love that they are helping these women use their trade to further their families. It's part of the Trade-Not-Aid program.
Add to that, Haiti has an estimated 400,000 artisans (out of a 10M population) who rely solely on their handcrafted goods as a source of income. No other sector of employment even approaches such numbers. When you employ one artist in Haiti, the entire community benefits. Over 500 artists employed benefits over 3,000 members of their extended family. You are helping them have a sustainable income.
Use your beautiful hand hammered tray to serve coffee this winter when a friend comes to visit!
Haiti is near and dear to my heart anyway, because we support an orphanage over there through our church and my little guy is about 10 years old and is doing so wonderful. We have a close connection with the orphanage and send presents every year for school, birthdays, Christmas, etc and a team of our church members go and visit at least twice a year.
How Macy's got involved
Macy's went to Haiti shortly after the January 12, 2010 earthquake and realized that despite the devastation there was an artist community that existed and was eager to bring their product to market.
They launched a product line for sale at Macys.com and in select stores which to date has employed 400 artists. Macy's paved the way in helping to rebuild this important sector of the fragile economy. It is their way of giving back through beautiful handmade decor.
I love the metal work on this tray. In fact, it was made using steel oil drums that are hammered and chiseled and sculpted to create unique pieces like the ones you see on Macys.com. Each piece is hand crafted by the ladies in Haiti. It has a special meaning to me and every time I look at it sitting on my table, it reminds me to pray for these families that are so near and dear to my heart.
Heart of Haiti can be found and followed on social media at @HeartofHaiti on Twitter and www.facebook.com/heartofhaiti on Facebook. For additional information about how Heart of Haiti is helping the community, visit this page.
I am so thankful this year to be able to be a part of the Heart of Haiti program that Macy's has going on.

One of my first visitors yesterday morning was an aspiring writer. This girl is amazing; penning, rewriting, and observing the world. She is so passionate about the written word that she co-founded the student Writing Club, where Donegal kids can share ideas and inspiration with each other. One of her goals for this year is to get something she has written actually published in a print source. She was excited to share a recent letter she had received.
It was her first official rejection letter.
Did I offer a hug and consolation? Absolutely not. I gave her a high five, and a whitebook to record this momentous occasion. Judging from the photo to the right, (used with her permission), she has clearly signed on to the idea of growth through embracing and celebrating failure (aka alternate success).
Her Facebook post this morning, along with the photo of the newly-decorated whitebook, speaks volumes:
"I submitted one of my pieces to a writing magazine, and it didn't make the cut. I guess you could say I'm taking it well... "
Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, J.K. Rowling, Abraham Lincoln, Lucille Ball, and thousands of others, were rejected before they made it big. Heck, Steve Jobs was fired by his own company. Back in 2009, my daughter and I attended the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA. Burton must have known he was going to make it big, because he had saved many early pieces of ephemera, including a signed rejection letter from the Disney Corporation, which was there on display, in the MoMA, in a climate-controlled case, scrutinized by thousands of fans who had paid to see the exhibit celebrating Burton's work. Clearly, the rejection was not the end of the road for the brilliantly creative Mr. Burton.
So yes, high fives for the very first rejection letter, and a shout out to Rachel for her risk-taking and embracing of this very important step on the path to success. It's a privilege to be on the ground floor of this exciting adventure, watching, and celebrating, as she builds her collection for her MoMA exhibit, which I estimate should be tentatively scheduled for sometime in 2048.

A comprehensive dog strategy is not top of my campaign platform, but it is a "pet project" of mine. The dog issue is one that tends to be fraught with emotion, and politicians wisely stay away from it (I have been advised to do likewise). But there are solutions and balances, and they require a degree of leadership and understanding to have an intelligent conversation about the issues.
From 2006 to 2008 I sat on the Vancouver Park Board's Dog Strategy Task Force. We listened to stakeholders, we researched best practices, and we saw that there were some things the city could be doing differently. Since that time the population of dogs in the city has doubled, none of our recommendations have been implemented, and new, poorly thought out measures
being proposed by the Park Board [Park Board staff have since deferred any decisions until after the election] promise to bring more conflict. In sharing some of my notes and research from the task force, along with my strategies for dogs in the urban environment and conflict reduction, I'm hoping we can develop a new comprehensive and considerate city policy that works for all Vancouverites.
A list of topics and research can be found to the right »

That's SO Glassy! Glass Dharma Glass Straws
November 7, 2012|Posted in: Health
Comments Off on That's SO Glassy! Glass Dharma Glass Straws
With all the BPA awareness going on in the media, there is one area that people don't think of to get infected by BPA…its through STRAWS!! You work at making sure your cups, bottles, Tupperware, etc are all BPA-free, but then you're still sipping through something that can add it to the mix.
I was introduced to Glass Dharma from a friend of mine, and instantly I thought…WOW…SO Glassy!! LOL! But seriously, I am really impressed by the straws that they offer as well as how classy the packaging and delivery was of their products. The straws are made of borosilicate glass, which makes them very strong, sturdy for use, washing, and temperature. AND what's great is that in the event that a straw breaks, Glass Dharma offer's a lifetime guarantee on the straws. That sounds great if you ask me…no chemicals and a replacement in the event of a breakage!
I started with four different straws to sample. These vary in width and even height. This is what the straws look like labeled in all the packaging:
If you notice, depending on your order, the glass straws will come with cleaning brushes (basically with the brush sets that you order). The brushes will come in the packaging and will be labeled accordingly. This is really nice as it helps to reduce waste. Now, you CAN use a pipe cleaner, however I highly recommend getting the cleaning brushes from them because they are more sturdy, and are able to clean any type of residue in the straw (especially if you use them for juices, milk products, or anything other than water).
There are four widths, which I've placed a pen beside them so you can gauge the sizes, since mm measurements may be a little confusing to truly get a feel for the sizes. Each width also has a name…so from left to right…(the pen, of course), ice tea, smoothie, ice tea, and sipper (there is a fourth one called Bubble tea, which isn't in this set).
The straws also vary in height and there is even a bendable straw (my personal fav) that you can use in a tall glass or even a water bottle (glass or BPA-free of course). Here is a shot of the straws…if you see two of them have cute color designs on them (which they have many more of), and even show the two different sized brushes that come with the set.
All in all, if you're a person who uses straws (or even your kids), these glass straws are really amazing. You can drink hot or hold drinks out of them (although be careful if they're hot because you may burn your lip!). The shorter sized straws are perfect for small glasses, and even glasses for your little ones. 🙂
I was not compensated in any way for this review. I was provided the glass straw pack from Glass Dharma.

My father was obsessed with nuclear war and knew all about it. He knew the effects of radiation, the half-life of the various types of detonation. The other neighbors had a pool, but we had a shelter of reinforced concrete sixty feet below the ground with provisions enough for five years.
When it came, it wasn't like we expected. Many of the cities got hit, but not ours. It was over pretty fast. Then the rains came, weeks of rain that flooded the shelter and made them all sick. I'm all that's left now, I guess. Why, I don't know.
