Children are playful by nature. They prefer physical activities outside the home more than reading books or doing artworks. To perform physical activities like sports, kids need to grow into their full potential by eating healthy food and consuming the right amount of nutrients.
The common macronutrient that kids need when playing sports is protein. Protein is essential because it helps in the development and growth of muscles in the body. Just like adults, children need protein to regenerate cells, make enzymes, strengthen the bones, and catch up with the ideal weight intended for their age.
Now, imagine a child wanting to play soccer but does not have sufficient nutrients to give his or her best at a sport because he or she is a picky eater. It would be difficult for young athletes to have poor nutrition as they grow. Hence, nutritionists recommend consuming the best protein powders for kids.
What You Should Know About Protein Powders
Protein powders are consumed when the daily protein intake of a child from food sources is not enough. It is believed to provide more than just muscle developer. The most common types of protein powder sold in the market are whey protein, soy protein, and casein protein.
Nutritionists and doctors recommend whey protein because it has amino acids that assist in breaking down and digesting food in the body. It also has immunoglobulin that strengthens the immune system to avoid sickness. This type of protein powder is soluble in water and usually in the milk.
Meanwhile, soy protein powder is commonly produced as a genetically modified organism (GMO) product. This protein powder is thoroughly processed since it is harder to digest compared to the whey protein powder. It is the type of protein powder that may cause allergies for kids because soy is among the primary foods that stimulate the allergy.
Last but not least is the casein protein powder. Just like whey protein powder, you can also get it from cow's milk. The only difference is that most casein protein powder lacks the right amino acids needed for easier digestion. Children may feel full for a more extended period due to difficulty with digestion.
Selecting the best and most nutritious protein powder for kids is meticulous work, especially for first-time parents. There are a variety of choice brands that offer different levels of benefit. But you should not be stressed. Instead, look for a safe protein powder that best fits your child. You must always keep yourself knowledgeable.
Best Protein Powder For Kids
The best protein powders for kids are the ones that can supply the needed nutrient requirement upon growing. It should always be safe to consume since the wrong choice of protein powder for your child may lead to kidney damage. Also, it is better if it contains less amount of artificial sweeteners to avoid obesity in the future. Thus, here are some of the best-recommended protein powder brands for kids.
- 100% Whey Gold Standard (Optimum Nutrition)
This brand is the best protein powder for kids because it contains 100% whey protein that can promote muscle development and regeneration of body cells. You do not have to worry because it provides low consistency of lactose, fats, and carbohydrates, which are considered factors in unhealthy gaining. This brand will 100% give your child the full energy needed for his daily activities. It is also lactose intolerant-friendly.
- Pro JYM
Pro JYM is included in the list of best protein powder for kids because it contains clean and high-quality protein. It is a combination of milk protein isolate, egg white, and whey protein isolate, which make the powder suitable for consumption at any time. Pro JYM is also packed with calcium content, which is suitable for the strengthening of the bones.
- Paradise Herbs Orac Energy
Among the list of best protein powder for kids, Paradise Herbs Orac Energy is the only powder made organically. It contains no artificial content and only offers the best, which is suitable for kids. One of its good effects on kids is faster recovery from fatigue. They won't feel heavy when drinking pure protein powder like Paradise Herbs.

Long Tailed Duck
The Long Tailed Duck or oldsquaw is a medium-sized sea duck. It is the only living member of its genus,Clangula; this was formerly used for the goldeneyes, with the long-tailed duck being placed in Harelda. Their breeding habitat is in tundra pools and marshes, but also along sea coasts and in large mountain lakes in the North Atlantic region, Alaska, northern Canada, northern Europe and Russia. The nest is located on the ground near water; it is built using vegetation and lined with down. They are migratory and winter along the eastern and western coasts of North America, on the Great Lakes, coastal northern Europe and Asia, with stragglers to the Black Sea. The most important wintering area is the Baltic Sea, where a total of about 4.5 million gather.
Male – The male Long tailed Duck has a mainly black and white plumage although this duck has a uniquely complex moulting process with three distinct plumage phases and the black and white plumage is seen over the winter and a chocolate brown and white plumage is seen in Spring and Summer, it has a distinctive long pointed tail, small dark-grey beak which has a pink band, and legs and feet are bluish-grey with darker webs.
Female – The female Long tailed Duck has a brown back, white head with dark crown and cheek patches, and a short pointed tail.
Size: – Typical Adult is about 17 inches.
Food: – Crustaceans, crabs, shrimps, molluscs, whelks, small fish and aquatic insects. Also pond weeds, and grass seeds. It dives well staying submerged for up to a minute.
Habitat: – Tundra pools, marshes, and coastal waters throughout the Northern Hemisphere's tundra and tundra-forest zones. Breeds further north than any other duck. Winters further south in west coast of North America, Great Lakes, coastal areas of north Europe and north Asia, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, and northern Japan.
Breeding Season: – Mid-May further south, June in Iceland, and July in Arctic.
Eggs: – 5 to 9 (greyish-olive color).
Notes: – The Long tailed Duck is a medium-sized sea duck. It bears no relation to any other duck. Also known as 'Oldsquaw' in USA.
The different types of wild ducks can be grouped into puddle, aka "dabbling" and diving ducks. The dabblers mostly feed in smaller bodies of shallow water or along shorelines, where they are able to tip their bodies forward to reach their food on the bottom. There are divers who feed in deeper water where they dive and pursue their quarry. Some of these birds, the Harlequin Duck for example, actually dives to the bottom of fast-flowing waters and feeds on life forms attached to rocks.

It's a Christmas miracle!
In case you needed any reason to go down to your local supermarket and buy the cheapest bottle of prosecco, now you can rest easy knowing it's can actually be beneficial to your health.
Researchers from the University of Reading have discovered that drinking fizz, like prosecco or Champagne, could be great for your heart.
That's because sparkling wines contain high levels of polyphenols which get absorbed into the blood and can help to boost circulation and improve the way blood vessels function.
Even better yet, drinking two glasses a day could help you achieve the beneficial results.
Dr Jeremy Spencer, from the university's department of food and nutritional sciences, said: "Our research has shown that drinking around two glasses of Champagne can have beneficial effects on the way blood vessels function, in a similar way to that observed with red wine.
"We always encourage a responsible approach to alcohol consumption, but the fact that drinking Champagne has the potential to reduce the risks of suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke, is very exciting news."
Meanwhile, Aldi recently began stocking prosecco infused teabags in what's definitely the best news to come from 2016.

I feel silly even asking this question, but there's a quirk of my anatomy that I find interesting, and I can find nothing about it online. I am looking for information on whether this quirk is documented, and whether it has any biological role.
I am a Caucasian male, and my quirk is that I have two different kinds of pubic hair. On my genitals and immediately above, I have a dark wiry kind of hair like that which I find under my armpits and on my chest. Above this, there is a second bundle of hair which is fairer (similar color to the hair on my head) and curlier. The color difference between the two hair types is marked. There is also a small amount of hair continuing up to my navel, which appears to be of the first type (same as chest, armpits, and genitals).
So my questions are:
- Is this a common feature?
- If not, is it documented at all?
- Does it serve a biological purpose?
My reason for asking 3, in particular, is that I've heard multiple explanations for the existence of pubic hair. One theory is that it indicates sexual maturity. Another is that it is related to hygiene. My anatomy seems to suggest both might be true: Hair under armpits is presumably for some practical purpose, like wicking sweat out of an otherwise dank crevice, and the hair on the genitals would appear to have the same effect. On the contrary, colored hair like that on the head is presumably a secondary sexual characteristic, and the fact that I have a bunch of colored pubic hair above my genitals (where there is no apparent practical purpose, as with the hair below) would seem to serve the same purpose.

Is irretrievable breakdown of marriage as a cause for divorce really the panacea it is being made out to be?
By Saptarshi Mandal
Saptarshi Mandal is a human rights lawyer and researcher working with the Multiple Action Research Group (MARG), New Delhi. He works on issues of gender, caste, sexuality and disability.
For decades, law makers and courts in India have stressed notions of 'sanctity of marriage' and 'family as the basic unit of society'; suddenly, the focus seems to have shifted to 'how to end marriages smoothly'.
I'm talking about the Hindu Marriage (Amendment) Bill being introduced in the next session of Parliament, which seeks to amend divorce procedures for those getting married under the Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act (civil marriages). Currently, there are two ways of getting a divorce in India. One is where both husband and wife reach a consensus that the marriage is no longer working out and that they want to end the marriage by mutual consent. Alternatively, one party has to provide and prove a specific cause for divorce such as that the other was mentally or physically cruel, deserted him/her, committed adultery or that the husband is impotent.
The new Bill seeks to introduce one more way of getting a divorce, whereby either of the parties would be able to ask for divorce on the grounds of "irretrievable breakdown of marriage". Thus, in marriages where only one party feels the need to end the marriage, he/she can ask for a divorce without having to prove that the other has committed a matrimonial offence like cruelty or desertion.
Are Wives Really Equal?
The Bill is being welcomed by many as a progressive measure that would allow people to extricate themselves easily from bad marriages. Where one party wants a divorce and the other does not, the latter would no longer be able to harass the one seeking the divorce by not appearing in court for hearings or prolonging the process by other means. The Supreme Court and the Law Commission are also in favor of granting divorce on the ground of irretrievable breakdown of marriage, provided there are "adequate financial arrangements" for the parties.
But, even as the proposed amendment seeks to make the process of ending marriages less protracted, less cumbersome and less painful, we need to ask at what cost is it being done? And who is more likely to pay this price? All the views and arguments in favor of the amendment mentioned above are based on two assumptions. One, that men and women are equally placed in a marriage. And two, that all women are similarly placed with respect to economic independence.
All the views and arguments in favor of the amendment mentioned above are based on two assumptions. One, that men and women are equally placed in a marriage. And two, that all women are similarly placed with respect to economic independence.
All the views and arguments in favor of the amendment mentioned above are based on two assumptions. One, that men and women are equally placed in a marriage. And two, that all women are similarly placed with respect to economic independence.
Broadly speaking, marriage in a society like India is anything but equal. In most cases, it is the husband who leads decision-making in many areas. In a typical situation where the husband wants a divorce, and the wife does not, he has to either prove that the wife is at fault for having committed cruelty, adultery, desertion etc. or reach a "settlement" with the wife whereby they can file for a divorce by mutual consent. This gives the wife the bargaining position to at least get the husband to pay her a lump sum of money in return for agreeing to the divorce, so that she is not left without any economic security.
Which brings us to the second question – of the economic resources available to the wife after divorce. In most marriages, while the contribution of the husband is primarily economic, wives contribute in non-economic terms by taking care of the household, the children and the elderly. Many have never worked or have cut short their own careers to focus on children. But at the time of divorce, while the economic contribution of the husband to the marriage is taken in to consideration, the non-economic contribution made by the wife is not.
Worse off after divorce
Thus, the monetary support that women get from their husbands at the time of divorce is highly disproportionate to their contribution to the marriage. Women who are economically independent (Read, Divorced Women In The Indian Workplace), or who have the support of parents and brothers are not affected as much. But women, who have been married for a long time, who have been home makers or who do not have the support of their natal families, are left economically worse off after the divorce. Hence, the bargaining position that wives currently have is extremely crucial to ensure their economic security post-divorce. The proposed amendment seeks to do away with this bargaining position, thus weakening her position further in a relationship which is already based on unequal terms.
The Bill prepared by the government has a provision, whereby if the husband files for divorce, the wife would be able to challenge it by claiming that the divorce would cause "grave financial hardship" to her. This is an insufficient protection available to the wife, as this in no way accounts for her non-economic contribution to the marriage. The most that she can get by invoking this provision is a paltry amount of maintenance that the judge might order the husband to pay her.
Irretrievable breakdown of marriage as a ground for divorce should be introduced only after putting in place an equitable system for assessing the contribution of both the spouses to the marriage. In the absence of it, the costs would be disproportionately borne by the wife.
Women's Web is a vibrant community for Indian women, an authentic space for us
I don't get the point.If,for instance her non economic contribution is admitted in court would the court ensure a better financial/emotional deal for her? If a solution could be worked out it would really benefit the woman in question. As of now society takes a woman's contribution for granted.
Hmm, even if the courts allow either party to file for a divorce without mutual consent, does it necessarily follow that the courts will grant a settlement to women taking their situation into account? Is it only by holding one's husband to ransom by refusing to consent to a divorce (in the case of the current law) that women get decent settlements? Were women actually capable of holding their husbands to ransom?
Sorry my earlier comment had an error. I meant:Hmm, even if the courts allow either party to file for a divorce without mutual consent, does it necessarily follow that the courts will NOT grant a settlement to women taking their situation into account? Is it only by holding one's husband to ransom by refusing to consent to a divorce (in the case of the current law) that women get decent settlements? Were women actually capable of holding their husbands to ransom?
It is obvious how flawed an argument this is – even if the conclusions may be hard to disagree with.
A few counterpoints follow:"But at the time of divorce, while the economic contribution of …by the wife is not."
[i]Not true. Non-economic contribution (lets loosely called this emotional contribution) is taken into account, where in most cases – as a result of their contribution to the family, women get sole or predominant custody of the kids. [/i]
"Thus, the monetary support …to the marriage."
[i]Talking in terms of a generic family that the article talks about,the "monetary" support that women get from husbands at the time of divorce is disproportionate to their "overall contribution" just as the "emotional" support men get is disproportionate to their "overall contribution". Monetary support i.e. alimony must be directly proportionate to the monetary contribution – if for no other reason, than the fact the emotional support is very clearly directly proportional to the emotional contribution. The argument cuts both ways.[/i]
"..thus weakening her position further in a relationship which is already based on unequal terms"
[i]Perhaps, the question that must be asked is why do women get into these relationships that are already based on unequal terms? In urban areas, which by some estimates account for over 2/3rd of divorces in past two decades in India, women get themselves into marriages of an "unequal nature". Clearly, when these women get married, one of the most important aspects they look at is the financial stability of the man – whether he can afford to support the family financially. So, perhaps women get into marriages for the wrong reasons, and then blame men for the inequity, and want more of the "spoils" of the divorce from a marriage that they no longer want? Show me a woman that doesnt care about the man's financial situation before getting married to him, and I'll show you a rare woman who deserves more protection from the unfortunate outcomes of divorce in India.[/i]
Quick contribution – just because a contribution is not expressed in terms of money, doesn't mean the contribution itself is non-economic. Housework and childcare are both economic activities that allow one person to work outside the house while the other focuses on most (or more) indoor work. It makes careers possible for others. Hence the need for women's contributions to be quantified, not dismissed as purely emotional.
But how to calculate the contribution of women in monetary terms? Some are very hard working and some are less. Salary package of a man is the most important criteria in Indian marriage. If this is the case, then alimony can be termed as a ransom. If a man doesn't take dowry, he should not be forced to pay more than the minimum wage act as maintenance. If woman is working, then no transactions should take place, they should decide themselves who will take care of children. Furthermore divorce brings disaster to both parties. How can the man remarry with the reduced income (almost half). Look at both aspects. Moreover in our society It has become fearful to marry a divorced person as how to identify who was at fault. What is the guarantee that divorce will not take place again?
Lol so it is a woman's responsibility to ensure that husband is left with enough means to have another wife irrespective of her sufferings????
But what happens when husband does not want divorce whereas wife wants divorce and there is a daughter of 3 and half years. Husband has given best effort – financially and emotionally to keep the relation intact but wife is adamant on divorce because of her parents influence and security and even wife liking other person or planning to get marry other person may be school friend. What happens to the custody of girl child if mother marry to another person after divorce from first husband.

Preschool Hunting
We are in the throes of searching for a preschool for the girls. I thought I had it narrowed down but then I found a few more to check out and just today I got a flier in the mail for a brand new one just down the road, like literally 2 minutes away at a church we briefly attended when we first moved here. I really want to find out more about that one, and hope maybe they're a little less expensive, but probably not. They also have classes starting in January, so maybe I won't have to wait until September to get a few hours to myself a few days a week! Not that I'm counting down or anything. Besides, we maybe would wait until September anyway just to save money. Anyway, I've been busy calling and emailing and we're hoping to make a decision soon so that we can get on a waiting list if need be. Preschool already (well, not already. Most kids their age started this year). What happened to my babies?

You will enjoy it (besides the time alone), watching them play with their new friends and bringing home all of the projects. It's really a great milestone, albeit a bit sad.

There's nothing like a stretch of beach to rev up your fitness routine.
By Debra Bokur
Never-ending, sun-filled days are the perfect incentive to head outdoors and get some sand in your shoes. Trish Welch, Sea Island personal trainer and fitness instructor, says that working out with the challenge of shifting sands comes with a host of benefits that include improved strength, enhanced performance and better coordination.
"There are endless things you can do to sneak in a workout in the sand," Welch says. "Try sprints, skipping or shuffling for the lower body. Add pushups, situps and planks (holding a pushup position with the body's weight borne on forearms, elbows and toes), and you can hit a total body workout in a short amount of time. The beach is also a serene place to practice a little stretching while enjoying fresh sea air."
While the gorgeous seaside setting might inspire some to feel as though it's possible to leap tall sand dunes in a single bound à la some famous superheroes, it's important to build up gradually to a full-blown sand routine. Another one of Sea Island's personal trainers and fitness instructors, Daniel "Ox" Hocutt, heeds a bit of caution to avoid overdoing a workout.
"It's a great way to work on stabilization and muscle recruitment," Hocutt says. "It requires muscles to work harder—which is why walking in the sand is a popular training technique for sports like soccer and volleyball. You use your entire body when in the sand. Sprinting and simple plyometrics (resistance exercises that rapidly stretch and shorten muscles), like jumping up and down, can have a greater effect."
Sand workouts can be safer on your joints than working out on a hard surface, but Hocutt suggests that it's best to take it easy at first. Start by walking along the shore and progress from there, as pushing past your fitness level right away can result in shin splints and Achilles tendon problems. Both Hocutt and Welch advise trainees to wear shoes during a sand workout, despite the inclination to ditch footwear. Sand can hide debris that may not be easily visible while exercising.
Whether beach-goers walk or simply stretch in the sand, they enjoy the perk of working out to one of nature's unbeatable soundtracks: the soothing rhythm of waves washing ashore.

If you or someone you know has just turned fifty, it's time to accept that the rules of life have changed, and that fifty is not the new thirty for most of us. Leland Gregory understands the forgetful minds, sagging bodies, and flagging pride of his fellow middle-agers, and in 50 Things Not to Do after 50, he offers helpful—and hilarious—advice for combating the humiliations this stage of life can bring. In this lighthearted and sometimes painfully on-target book, you'll learn that what we used to do in our twenties, thirties, and forties should be avoided at all costs from now on. For example, regardless of gender, under no circumstances should you ever . . . Attempt to wear leather pantsStart a story that involves a lot of names—you'll forget most of them before the story is overStalk your high school sweetheart on Facebook; the person you had the hots for in 10th grade probably isn't so hot anymoreGet drunk in Pamplona and decide to run with the bullsVolunteer to be a drug muleSay things like "fo'shizzle," "whatev," or "cray-cray". . . And do we really need to mention thongs, Speedos, or jeggings? Leland Gregory, the New York Times–bestselling author of Stupid American History and America's Dumbest Criminals, has been praised by Katie Couric as the "chronicler of Stupid America."

If it ain't broke…..
During our short stay in Lalwet last weekend, one of the most interesting conversations I had was with my host father. He not only kindly opened up his home to us, but also shared his experience of politics and social policy in Kenya. Having run for Kapkures County Representative, he had very clear views on which policies could actually help Kenyans and which were purely introduced tactically to gain votes during the elections.
This year, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta announced plans to decrease Kenya's digital divide with the rest of the world by giving laptops to all first graders – a policy, which my host father described as ridiculous. 'if a poor child is hungry, has no shoes to walk to school and no access to electricity, what use will an uncharged laptop be to him?' he exclaimed. 'Why not use the money to guarantee a substantial meal for every child and give him a reason to turn up to school every day?'.
My host father's protest against the utility of this policy resonated with a key topic raised during our Balloon Kenya training; an idea is only good if it is solving an existing problem. Creating a business solution to a problem that does not exist has no value and moreover, for our young entrepreneurs, will not result in a profit-making business. I was shocked and impressed that my host father as well as Doug and Josh could teach me the very same lesson, despite their very different life experiences.

- Innumerable slashes infused with the flames of purgatory. An incredibly powerful skill created by Granberia. Power is increased when Salamander is summoned at the same time.
- "Granberia's ultimate move... Vaporizing Rebellion Sword... The attack Granberia wrecked me with. Each slash seemed like it could have killed me, and there were so many of them... Honestly, there's no way I could imitate that." - Luka
- "...I wouldn't be able to teach you that. You've seen a certain Cursed Sword Skill user use it with your own eyes, didn't you? It's a skill that genius Granberia herself worked out. I'm sad to say, but there is no interesting backstory to it. Simply because... Victory is almost always decided in her favor before she can use it." - Alice
Vaporizing Rebellion Sword (乱刃・気炎万丈 Ranjin Kienbanjou) is an upgraded version of Death Sword Chaos Star and is the last technique Luka learns in Chapter 2 of the game. Unlike all the skills taught to Luka by that point, it is instead taught to Luka by Salamander. It is Granberia's signature technique, though rarely used as she manages to overcome her opponent before she can even use it.
Like its predecessor, Vaporizing Rebellion Sword is an attack which hits for 5 times and costs 4 SP. However, it is much more powerful due to the embedded flames and can be boosted in terms of power if Salamander is an active spirit on Luka at the time.
Vaporizing Rebellion Sword is first introduced during the third battle with Granberia. With the cursed swordswoman growing tired of the battle, she calls upon her ultimate technique. Luka tries to counter with Death Sword Chaos Star to no avail, although she is a bit impressed on how he damaged her at the same time.
Alice later states that she is unable to teach Luka this technique as it is a rarely seen maneuver.
Salamander then teaches Luka this skill during the battle with the Giganto Weapon to overcome its restoration ability.
This skill replaces Death Sword Chaos Star, but he is forced to resort to that skill after defeating Archangel Ariel, as Promestein disables his elements, but is soon replaced by Ninefold Rakshasa while fighting Archangel Ranael.
In Monster Girl Quest: Paradox, Vaporizing Rebellion Sword is used by Neris when she saves Luka from Nanabi in Cave of Treasures.
- It is possible that Salamander was the one who taught Granberia Vaporizing Rebellion Sword, as she taught it to Luka despite Alice's claims of Granberia coming up with it herself.
- It is also possible that Granberia created the technique while under the tutelage of Salamander.
- Like the other sword skills learned in Chapter 2, the Japanese name for this technique uses a pattern of two characters, describing a weapon and modifier for it, followed by a four character idiomatic compound.
- For this technique, the first two characters, "乱刃", individually translate to "rebellion, blade".
- The four character compound, 気炎万丈, is an idiom meaning "in high spirits". More literally though, the characters individually translate to "spirit, flame, ten thousand, measure", or in pairs translate as "high spirits, congradulations/full vent". Much like the other elemental sword skills, this idiom includes the character for flame.

Long Haul Flights, that take 15 hours or more, tend to be quite intimidating for most people. Any sort of challenge you have with short flights will be multiplied a number of times over during such flights. From dehydration to boredom and neck problems, what might have seemed like a simple Flight might turn out to be quite a horrendous experience. However, with the right preparation, you can easily turn the tables and enjoy yourself as the time passes unnoticed.
Read on below to find out some useful tips on how to make it through difficult long Haul flights:
One of the most important tips as far as staying healthy is concerned, is to stay hydrated throughout the flight. This is especially the case for people who usually get dehydrated even on short trips in a plane. You can start the hydration process before boarding your flight by consuming generous amounts of water. It is recommended that you drink electrolytes instead of regular water. This is especially the case for people who might have medical problems that may be made worse by drinking too much water.
It is normal for air travellers to want to pack more of their luggage in to their carry on as a way of making savings on the high luggage fees charged by airlines today. However, you have to limit how much carry on you have especially when taking a long haul flight. You want to have as much leg room as possible during the flight. Placing too much carry on under the seat or legs will eat up the space you need to be comfortable throughout the flight.
Sleeping Aids
Getting some much-needed sleep during a long flight ensures that you get to your destination feeling fresh and energised. However, this can be somewhat of a challenge considering the disturbances experienced on planes. Pilot announcements, crying babies and other passengers chatting and walking around can keep you up throughout the flight. It is recommended that you use a suitable sleeping aid to help you catch up on your sleep during the flight regardless of the noise levels. Be sure to experiment with the sleeping aid a few days before the flight at home to ensure it has the necessary effect on you.
Travel Gear
To survive a long haul flight comfortably, you will need to have the right travel gear. Even if you usually do not regularly use such gear when making shorter trips on planes, you definitely need it now. Travel pillows, earplugs, and noise cancelling headphones are a lifesaver on long haul flights.
Long haul flights can be brutal; however, with the above tips in mind, you can be able to have a better experience.

March 29, 1985 – The Frontierland Shootin' Arcade Opens in Disneyland
"Test your gunnin' skills at this rootin', tootin' wild west shooting gallery!"
On March 29, 1985, the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade opened in Disneyland. This attraction, with the original Shooting Gallery opening on July 12, 1957, was completely remodeled to be entirely electronic, using infrared beams to hit the targets than any form of bullet. Guests use replica .54-caliber Hawkins buffalo rifles to shoot targets at Boot Hill in Tombstone, Arizona. There are more than 100 targets, with comical results depending on the target hit. Use of the arcade involves an extra fee, with each credit earning 25 shots; this makes it one of the three attractions in the park that require an extra fee, with the other two being the Main Street Penny Arcade and the Starcade. The attraction has since been renamed the Frontierland Shootin' Exposition.

After we completed the beautiful Tungnath and Chandrashila trek, we were tempted to continue on. And thus we reached "MANA", popularly known as the last village of India from the Indo-Tibetan border. It is a picturesque place surrounded by the Himalayan ranges and a government designated Tourism Village.
It is also around 3km close to Badrinath one of the 4 dhaams and which attracts thousands of devotees.
How I reached from Chopta
The next day around 7:30 AM luckily I got a local Badrinath bound bus from Chopta. It took 7-8 hours to reach Badrinath.
How to reach from Delhi
The easiest way to reach Badrinath or Mana is to get a train till Hardiwar and then take a taxi/bus till Mana which is around 320 kms away.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit is May, June, September, and October.
It is really cold in the winters and extremely risky in the monsoons. So better to avoid that.
Where I stayed
I searched for some accommodation amidst the plethora of basic hotels and Dharmshala and all are equally livable. I zeroed in on one and so can you based on your choice. We billed 1200 bucks for 2 days in the hotel.
The experience
The weather in Badrinath was chilly as compared to Chopta and it was getting dark too. Quickly after freshening up, I went over to attend evening aarti in the famous Badrinath temple. It was overly crowded but not for the rich ones as there was a VIP line as well which disgusted me.
Located between the Nar and Narayana mountains, along the Alaknanda river and under the shadow of the Neelkantha peak, this sacred place with its sacred ponds and turquoise lakes makes it a must visit destination. This place is named after its preserver Lord Vishnu.
Legend has it that the Pandavas passed through Badrinath and Mana on their way to Swarga( Heaven). There is a mountain called Swargarohini (Stairway to heaven) which the Pandavas ascended and ended their life.
Coming back, I took bath in the sacred Tapt Kund, a hot spring, bathing after which all the tiredness went away like a breeze.
After successful darshan at the temple, had dinner and slept.
Waking up the next the next day was awaiting the last but the most beautiful experience of this trip. A visit to Mana.
A straight road from Badrinath, Mana is a heavily guarded border area. There was an option to take shared jeep till the village but I decided to walk down the range as the real fun is walking on the road with brown magnificent hills as the backdrop. For a moment, I felt as if I was in ladakh given the resemblance of rocky brown mountains. Moreover since it was early morning so we could easily make it on time in 1.5 to 2 hours.
Everything here is "Hindustan's last …." i.e The Last one of Hindustan.
Top Things to Do in Mana
Vyas Gufa – As per the legends, Ved Vyas lived here while composing the four vedas. A small shrine dedicated to him is believed to be 5000 years old.
Bheem Pul – Said to be created by the mighty Bheem as a bridge across river Saraswati. Just make sure not to lose balance, else you may not have to even climb the treacherous stairway to reach heaven.
There are multiple other spots and you can easily go through them one by one if you have time. Since it's a small village, it will not take much time.
There are multiple eatery spots as well. Shops selling Ladakhi caps, mana almonds, herbal oils are abundant.
Trek to Vasudhara falls
A trip to Mana is incomplete without visiting Vasudhara falls. We were done by 12 PM but in no mood of going back, we headed towards Vasundhara falls after inquiring about with some locals. With the Alaknanda river flowing right along the trek, it was a sight to behold. The road were covered with stones and the path was well-established.
After several breaks we made it in 4 hours as we took several breaks to observe the beauty of the mighty mountains and the ever-changing sky. The trek is worth doing as you can literally see the sky descending down amid the beautiful meadows.
Unfortunately, we were running out of time we could only afford to spend one hour at the waterfalls. And soon have to return as well due the fear of the dark amidst a mountain.
Tip:- Start the trek on time or early in the morning. Otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the charisma of the falls.
We reached at the entrance of the village by 7 and it was already pitch dark. Luckily one of the jeeps gave us a lift and we reached back safely to Badrinath and slept straight away.
We took a bus till Rishikesh the next day and caught our evening Haridwar-Delhi train.Thus ended our beautiful journey and we also earned some punya by visiting one of the Char Dhams.

How to get more out of ServiceNow Pivot Tables (Video)
So its time for the release of Code Creative Episode 2! I had a lot of fantastic followup questions from How to Build Custom Charts and Reports but the one that kept jumping out was "How do I do a Pivot Table?" In fact, this was a common question even before I released Episode 1 and your wish is my command. Sadly, though, High Charts does not offer a Pivot Table in ServiceNow. But there are two strategies that I have used for making Pivot Tables that have worked very well for me. In Episode 2, I cover the first of these strategies which allows you to minimize customization while getting more out of ServiceNow's native Pivot Table report. This method is so simple but surprisingly powerful.
And stay tuned for Episode 3 in which I will dig a little deeper into my bag of tricks and demonstrate a fully custom Pivot Table using a UI Page. Don't miss it! Put your questions in the comments and get it answered on Code Creative!
Original Question: Custom Chart Scripts
Background Script:
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
while (gr.next()) {
var updatedDt = gr.sys_updated_on.getGlideObject(); // Get GlideDateTime object
gr.u_updated_date = updatedDt.getDate();
gr.u_updated_hour = (updatedDt + '').substr(11, 2) + ':00';
Business Rule:
function onBefore(current, previous) {
//This function will be automatically called when this rule is processed.
var updatedDt = current.sys_updated_on.getGlideObject(); // Get GlideDateTime object
current.u_updated_date = updatedDt.getDate();
current.u_updated_hour = (updatedDt + '').substr(11, 2) + ':00';

After slowly releasing one song after the other the makers of Ninnu Kori finally released the full album out in the market.
There are only four songs in the album and all of them are hardcore romantic and have been superbly composed by Gopi Sundar. Among all the songs the number which is a rage is Adigya Adigya which has click well.
All the song look good so far and with the film being a love story things will be even better for Nani and his team.

I attended Mary Kay Andrew's Launch party for Spring Fever. I very much looked forward to sharing this book with everyone.
Annajane has been divorced from Mason Bayless for five years. She is engaged but she finds herself at his wedding. Mason is engaged to Celia Wakefield a consultant hired to consult at Quixie. The church is packed for their wedding with all the Baylesses in attendance including Sally, Pokey (Annajane's best friend), Davis, and Mason's daughter Sophie. The wedding is halted by a sudden emergency. Annajane sees her opportunity to possibly win Mason back. Will Mason wise up to Celia's way? Will the family business continue?
My Thoughts:
I very much liked Mary Kay Andrews's newest book Spring Fever. This story is different than Summer Rental with a slightly different focus. Mary Kay takes us on a journey into the soft drink company Quixie. One aspect of MKA's writing is how thorough she is with the setting which is Pascoe North Carolina.
I did like the book but it is not a favorite. I very much enjoyed the character of Sophie. The best part of this book is the love triangle plot between Celia, Annajane, and Mason. Many times in stories the man in this position is often portrayed as a total moron, but that does not describe Mason. The book is enjoyable and will make you laugh.

The Fray Happiness - the fray happiness перевод песни
Исполнитель: The Fray
Название: Happiness
Длительность mp3: 05:24

Скачали: 298
Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone - not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
'Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she'll be home
Home, home, home

Ryder Cup: Can Darren Clarke find space for Russell Knox in European team?
Last updated on .From the section Scotland
When Russell Knox celebrated victory at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut on Sunday he flung his cap across the 18th green at River Highlands and straight into the ring for Ryder Cup selection.
As it stands, Knox is still just outside automatic qualification for Darren Clarke's team to face the Americans at Hazeltine, Minnesota from 30 September.
He's not scheduled to play again before the qualification deadline falls at the end of this month. That might change, but, right now, and despite his brilliance in Connecticut, he's relying on a captain's pick.
Clarke has three of those but, realistically, there is only one slot available.
Of the nine guaranteed qualifiers in the rankings, there are five rookies among them - Danny Willett, Chris Wood, Matt Fitzpatrick and Andy Sullivan of England plus Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain.
That's a lot of newcomers. Is Clarke really going to make it six rookies? Or will he want to bolster his group by going with more players who have felt the heat of battle in past Ryder Cups?
Clarke has a core leadership group of just four - Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose.
Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer won't qualify automatically but they will be two of Clarke's wildcards and up until recently the third one looked like it was heading the way of Graeme McDowell, another experienced Ryder Cup operator to counterbalance all the first-timers in the European team.
Enter Knox, 31, at the Travelers - and an intriguing scenario. The Scot could do Clarke a favour by entering, and playing well, at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, beginning on 18 August. A big finish there and he's in by right when the team is named the following week. He'd knock one of the other rookies out, probably Fitzpatrick.
That would still mean five new guys plus up to seven veterans going in against an American team that looks like their strongest unit in quite a few years.
If Knox doesn't play the Wyndham, what does Clarke do? Last month, Colin Montgomerie, a winning Ryder Cup captain at Celtic Manor in 2010, said that six rookies is one too many.
Paul McGinley, winning captain at Gleneagles in 2014, said that given the number of rookies likely to be in the team automatically, it was going to be a big ask for another one to get a pick.
Are they right? Well, Montgomerie's own team in Wales had six rookies. The best American performance in recent times - and their last victory - was under Paul Azinger at Valhalla in 2008. Azinger also had six rookies - and they destroyed the Europeans.
The rookie argument can be over-played, especially as regards to Knox, who lives in America, who plays successfully against all the American players and who is respected and hugely confident. A rookie, yes. But one who has already beaten the best that America has thrown at him.
Who are the contenders as third man behind Westwood and Kaymer? Apart from Knox, there's McDowell, but he's having a very poor time at the moment and even he admitted, after his missed cut at the US PGA, that he probably wouldn't pick himself.
There's Soren Kjeldsen and Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry, but Knox is ahead of all those.
Knox has won twice on the PGA Tour since November. He was also beaten in a play-off at the OHL Classic (by McDowell, whose form has gone south since then), second again (to Branden Grace) at the Heritage in April of this year and second again (to McIlroy) at the Irish Open in May.
Knox would already be comfortably in the Ryder Cup team had he been an official member of the European Tour at the time he won his breakthrough victory at the WGC in Shanghai last autumn.
Knox became a member straight after his dream victory, but his vast points total still didn't count towards Ryder Cup selection.
He started that week as seventh reserve with seemingly no hope of making the field. He ended it by beating a chasing pack of Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Rickie Fowler - America's marquee players.
He might be short of guaranteed selection, but Knox has surely done enough to book himself a place at Hazeltine. If form counts for anything, he'll make the team.

One of the big reveals at BlizzCon this year was the announcement of Arcade Mode for Overwatch. While the pros and the wannabe-pros do their thing over in Competitive Mode, it's in the Arcade that those who like to focus on fun - as well as glory - will find their new home.
After a very brief spell on the PTR, Arcade Mode is now live on everywhere, and we thought it would be handy to put together a one-stop guide covering everything you could possibly need to know about the mode. Note that we are still fleshing out some of the guides linked out from here, so check back soon for more updates.
First up, here's the lowdown on what Arcade Mode is all about:
- Arcade Mode features 1v1 and 3v3 combat, as well as new twists on rulesets that are exclusive to this mode.
- There will be at least one Arcade-exclusive map, and currently that's Ecopoint Antarctica.
- Ecopoint Antarctica is a map themed around Mei's backstory.
- One of the play sections is called All Brawls and features all of the Brawls released for the game so far. This replaces the old Brawl section of the game's interface.
- Quick Play now features a single-Hero limit, just as Competitive Play mode has done for a while. Fans of stacking will have to head to the No Limits section of the Arcade to get their fix...
Our most popular Overwatch articles:
- 1. Tier List - Overwatch Tier List
- 2. Season 6 - Overwatch: Season 6 guide
- 3. Halloween Terror - Overwatch: Halloween Terror 2017 guide
- 4. World Cup - Overwatch: World Cup 2017 guide
- 5. Beginner's guide - Overwatch: Beginner's guide
Game types
There are a number of different game types to be found in Arcade Mode. Here's everything you need to know about them, with links to more detailed guides where appropriate. We're adding to this section all the time, so make sure you pop back every now and then to see what's new!
- Mystery Duel is 1v1 and takes the form of a best-of-nine series of bouts. Whoever gets to five wins first wins overall. Each round involves randomly selected - yet identical - Heroes. (Update: Our Mystery Duel 1v1 guide is live now!)
- Elimination is 3 v 3. Play in a best-of-five format and the first to three wins takes victory. Group up with friends or queue up solo if you prefer to jump in with strangers. Team compositions are locked per round, however, so choose carefully! (Update: Our Elimination 3v3 guide is live now!)
- Mystery Heroes. Like the previous Brawl, the game picks your Hero for you!
- No Limits. Allows multiple Hero stacking and essentially replaces Quick Play as we know it.
- All Brawls. Contains some of the older Brawls that people love and want to be able to get stuck into. Cycles through a playlist at the end of each round into a new ruleset!
If you look at the icon for each game, you'll also see a sort of popularity indicator to help you estimate queue times. This popularity system will also help the developers work out what's worth keeping, what's not working, and what's worth iterating on further in the future.

A 7-year-old Virginia boy battling an a deadly infection will be allowed to join a drug trial that could save his life.
Josh Hardy contracted an adenovirus -- a rare viral disease -- during a bone marrow transplant and desperately needed a drug made by pharmaceutical company Chimerix. But the company wouldn't allow Josh to join the trial, citing the drug's lack of federal approval. So his community took to social media to publicize their fight with the hashtag #SaveJosh.
Josh is a first grader from Fredericksburg, but right now, he's at St. Jude's Children's Hospital battling the infection. He's already battled cancer four times. His heart and kidneys are failing.
Chimerix announced Tuesday that it would allow Josh to join the trial.
"We were all so excited," Josh's grandmother, Mae Station said."I screamed when I heard the news from my daughter. We just know that they changed their minds and decided to release it and that's all that really matters."
The family hopes the drug will clear up his infection within a couple of weeks.
His mother, Aimee Hardy, also praised the decision on her Facebook page.

Beverly Hills is home to some of the world's most exciting cars. Step outside, and you'll find Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys and Rolls Royces rolling down the streets. But these days, the cars driving the most excitement are the ones with the massive sensor arrays mounted on top.
For years, the city has dreamed of a fleet of autonomous vehicles (AVs), and its website asserts it's only a question of when and how these cars will reshape the nation's roadways, not if they will. That means we can expect to see more of them on the city's streets and on streets throughout the nation, and we can expect some larger conversations about insurance and liability.
Insurance companies are paying close attention
The makers of self-driving cars say the vehicles will lead to fewer accidents and injuries, but that hasn't always been the case. Early reports out of the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute found that AVs got into more than twice as many crashes as human drivers. These crashes were typically less severe, but even small problems can be costly when they involve self-driving technology.
A recent article in the Financial Times said the use of collision avoidance in a car's grill and bumper can greatly increase the expense of something so simple as a fender bender. That's given insurance companies some concern, but the larger question may be how to assign policies:
- Should the individual owners of self-driving cars hold their own insurance?
- Or should the manufacturers carry the insurance?
Many insurance companies argue in favor of the traditional model. They say it's more flexible. It allows police, courts and insurers to assign fault and financial responsibilities on a case-by-case basis. And they say the flexibility will be important as the nation's roadways transition from drivers to driverless cars.
But the standard model may not always make sense. Fully autonomous vehicles raise new questions about human responsibilities. It's possible that drivers, legislators and insurance companies may need to think about self-driving cars more in terms of product liability. This may be particularly true, says one expert at AIG, as the question of data plays a larger part in the assignment of fault.
At the cusp of a new frontier
With the introduction of AVs, the nation is entering a new automotive age, and Beverly Hills and its citizens are leading the way. We can expect to see more advances in AV technologies and more types of AVs on the roads, including trucks. And we may expect new laws and policies to reflect the new realities of the nation's roadways.

Eurex continues to boost futurization with launch of Equity Total Return Futures
Eurex continues to boost futurization with launch of Equity Total Return Futures
Eurex has taken a further step towards futurization: On 7 October, the derivatives exchange introduced Total Return Futures on single equities. The new futures complement the Eurex suite of equity index derivatives and support the market in complying with new EMIR financial market regulation.
Eurex offers Equity Total Return Futures (ETRF) for 255 euro-denominated equities. Product structure and design are based on the Total Return Futures on the EURO STOXX 50 Index (TESX) launched in 2016.
ETRFs replicate returns on equity analogous to equity swaps. This allows to migrate traditional bilateral negotiated swaps into standardized futures contracts that are exchange-traded and centrally cleared.
Furthermore, a new Eurex functionality supports basket trades of ETRFs (BTRF) to construct and flexibly manage synthetic equity portfolios for the first time.
In line with OTC swap convention Eurex's ETRFs are quoted in spread expressed in basis points. They reference to the new ECB short term rate €STR as underlying funding rate. Maturities are available from one month out to two years.
Michael Peters, Member of the Eurex Executive Board: "With introduction of ETRFs Eurex continues the push towards futurization of swaps. We thereby not only foster a regulated and safe environment for our clients' Delta 1 business, but also allow them further operational as well as cross margining efficiencies. On top of this, the innovative basket trade feature facilitates replication of portfolio trading strategies using the ETRFs."
Eurex has been the first exchange worldwide to offer an exchange-traded replacement for bilaterally traded total return swaps. Since its launch, Eurex has managed to migrate 50 per cent of the OTC market to its product. Current open interest stands at over 1 million contracts with a notional value of circa EUR 40 billion and over 2.5 million contracts traded YTD in 2019. In September, trading volume in Total Return Futures on EURO STOXX 50 peaked at over 433,000 traded contracts.

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. And a discussion concerning wealth took place.
Go, sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.
At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,
How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again,
Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom.
The disciples were even more amazed,
This is true because the rich, with most of their basic physical needs met, often become self-reliant. When they feel empty, they can buy something new to dull the pain that was meant to drive them toward God. Their abundance and self-sufficiency become their deficiency. Remember Jesus put it this way,
If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come follow me.
We are responsible to care for our own needs and the needs of our families so as not to be a burden on others. We should, however, be willing to give up anything if God asks us to do so. This kind of attitude allows nothing to come between us and God and keeps us from using our God-given wealth selfishly. If you are comfortable spending your money on desires; then you may be too attached to what you have.
We cannot love God with all our hearts (as he COMMANDED us to) and yet keep our control of money to ourselves. Loving him totally means using our money in ways that please him. Jesus put it this way,
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Even rich people can enter the kingdom if God is in control of their lives. Faith in Christ and Control by Christ, not by/in self or riches, is what counts.
We have left all we had to follow you!
I tell you the truth, no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life.
Because money represents power, authority, and success, often it is difficult for wealthy people to realize their need and their powerlessness to control their lives. The rich in talent or intelligence suffer the same difficulty. Unless God reaches down into and controls their lives, they will not love him with their whole heart, mind and soul as he commands us to. It is difficult for a self-sufficient person to realize his or her need and come to Jesus.
Following Jesus has its benefits as well as its sacrifices. For example, if you must give up a well paying job, you will find that God offers a well paying relationship with himself now and forever. If you must give up your family's approval, you will gain the love of the family of God. Don't dwell on what you have given up; think about what you have gained and give thanks for it. You can never out give God.
God gives rewards to his people according to his justice and their obedience. But obedience and IMMEDIATE reward are not always linked. As believers, our true reward is God's presence and power through the Holy Spirit. Later, in eternity, we will be rewarded for our faith and service.
Love is able to give tough advice; it doesn't hedge around the truth. Christ loved us enough to talk straight to us. He gives us a life-changing challenge. Remember When Jesus said,
But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
If you are trying to find fulfillment only through riches, wealth may be the only reward you will ever get – and it does not last. We should not seek comfort now at the expense of eternal life. Again Jesus said,
Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.
Jesus says that the good life has nothing to do with being wealthy, so be on guard against greed (desire for what we don't have or really NEED). This is the exact opposite of what society usually says. We think if we buy more, we will be happier, more fulfilled, more comfortable. We need to concentrate instead on the truly good life – living in a relationship with God and doing his work.
If we accumulate wealth only to enrich ourself, with no concern for helping others, we will enter eternity empty-handed. Jesus taught us,
The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
Then he said, 'This is what I'lldo. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."
But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?
This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for HIMSELF but is not rich toward God.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is there your HEART will be also.
Money seen as an end itself quickly traps us and cuts us off from both God and the needy. The key to using money wisely is to see how much we can use for God's purposes, not how much we can accumulate for ourselves. Does God's love control your spending? Do you feel free to use it to help others? If your financial goals and possessions hinder you from giving generously, loving others, or serving God, sell what you must to bring your life into perspective. Another guidance Jesus gave us was,
Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant who the master finds doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Jesus promises a reward for those who have been faithful to the Master. While we sometimes experience immediate and material rewards for our obedience to God, this is not always the case. Jesus said that if we look for rewards now, we will lose them later. Our heavenly rewards will be the most accurate reflection of what we have done on earth, and they will be far greater than we can imagine.
Sadly, many are so taken up with the values of this world that they are blind to the priceless gift Christ offers. Don't focus on this world's values and miss what is most valuable – eternal life with God.

It was a stressful moment. A piece of paper was in the printer. The print button was pressed. The paper stubbornly refused to feed. Sheet after sheet of paper ruined; none of them would feed.
The printer breaking just as I was trying to print some rather urgent conveyancing documents (urgent because they all need to be in place before we set off for Land's End) was annoying enough. The knowledge that I still have sections of detailed maps and various notes to print was even more pressing on my mind.
It seemed inevitable that I would have to rush out and buy a new printer – and that led to the most annoying point of the breakdown. You see, having been printing so many maps I decided that it would be cost effective to splash out on the 'high yield' ink cartridges. As a result I currently have over £40 worth of ink in that printer and I was understandably reluctant to let it go to waste.
So, out came the screw-driver and I painstakingly took the darned machine apart.
With pieces of plastic and electronics strewn about the room (it's actually a printer/scanner/copier; it contains a lot of parts!) the problem was diagnosed and fixed (a foreign object in the mechanism). Then I realised that maybe writing a few notes about the order and method of disassembly would have assisted with reassembly.
It's now all back in one piece and working as well as it ever did. Phew.
