Strange Space Debris to Plummet Through Earth's Atmosphere Nov. 13
By Ada Carr
A chunk of space debris orbiting the earth will crash back onto our planet Nov. 13, according to astronomers.
Named WT1190F, the floating clutter was detected by the Catalina Sky Survey, a program focused on discovering asteroids and comets close to the earth, and is likely hollow, reports the European Space Agency (ESA).
Astronomers have been frenzied over WT1190F's arrival because it gives them a rare opportunity to study how incoming objects interact with Earth's atmosphere, Gizmodo reports. It also provides a chance to test a coordinated network they've established for when more dangerous space objects come close to Earth.

According to independent astronomy software developer Bill Gray, scientists were initially confused by the space trash, but they were able to compute its trajectory by collecting more observations and looking at previous telescope archives.
Gray's calculations estimate that WT1190F will hit the Earth at 6:20 UTC, falling about 40 miles off the southern tip of Sri Lanka. Much if not all of it will burn up in the atmosphere, but "I would not necessarily want to be going fishing directly underneath it," said Gray.
WT1190F could be composed of paneling shed by a recent Moon mission or a spent rocket stage. There's also the possibility that the debris dates back decades, maybe even to the Apollo era. Jonathan McDowell, astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, referred to it as "a lost piece of space history that's come back to haunt us."
An observing campaign is now taking shape to follow the object as it dives through Earth's atmosphere, says Gerhard Drolshagen, co-manager of the European Space Agency's Near-Earth Object office in Noordwijk, Netherlands.

Drolshagen plans to get spectral information on WT1190F, which may help identify it. He also hopes to coordinate impact observations done on board ships or planes. However, that may be the end of concerted efforts to study space debris.
Unlike near-Earth asteroids, space debris that flies well away from the planet has not been afforded significant amounts of funding or attention.
"There is no official, funded effort to do tracking of deep-Earth orbits the way we track low-Earth orbit," said McDowell. "I think that has to change".

Two-time reigning U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka doesn't have a lot to prove right now, currently sitting fourth in the world ranking, but he still feels like he needs to make up ground.
Koepka missed five months this year with a wrist injury, keeping him out of the Masters and two World Golf Championship events. But he has a win and a runner-up finish since returning, proving he's healthy and still among the game's elite.
The three-time PGA Tour winner (two majors) heads to Glen Abbey this week to try and win the RBC Canadian Open. Koepka hopes to pick up some more FedEx Cup points as he's adjusted his schedule.
"Obviously the first four months were disappointing, missing that much time, that much time off. But ever since I've come back, I've obviously played well," Koepka said Wednesday in his press conference. "I feel like my game is in a good spot, and right now is kind of a critical time with the Playoffs coming up. You've got a WGC next week, and then another major to follow it up. Need to be playing well. I feel like my game is in good shape, and I'll try to get that No. 1 on the FedExCup.
"We kind of had to reevaluate. Missing four months, the schedule got completely flipped around for me. I'm having to play a lot right now to play some events because I missed so much time. You fall back in that FedEx Cup. I remember just looking at it every once in a while. You just keep going backwards and backwards and backwards. I felt — missing a major isn't fun. That's a good place to really jump.
Since his U.S. Open win last month, Koepka has played just twice: a T-19 at the Travelers Championship and a T-39 at last week's Open Championship. After some tough tracks, he's excited to play a more traditional layout this week.
The PGA Tour schedule is in line for a drastic makeover next season, and the Canadian Open will be moved in front of the U.S. Open. Despite the change, Koepka still expects to make the trip north.
"I like playing the week before (the U.S. Open)," Koepka said. "I think it's good prep to know where your game is at. I wouldn't be surprised if the golf course, they grow the rough up just to kind of imitate, I guess, Pebble a little bit. The only problem is you're going East Coast to West Coast and then back to East Coast, so you might see some guys not play, just for the fact that they're playing the week after.

Premium Times Headquarters
UPDATED: Fire razes PREMIUM TIMES head office
The raze started at about 1.30 p.m. forcing the property in the Wuse area of Abuja to be evacuated.
byAyodeji Adegboyega
Fire razed a section of the PREMIUM TIMES head office in Abuja on Friday, damaging the newspaper's newsroom and destroying properties.
The fire started from the office of the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Musikilu Mojeed, shortly after he left for jumaat prayers.
A thick smoke biĺlowing from the office alerted editors next door to the incident. They forced the door open but were pushed back by the smoke.
Ruins of Editor-in-Chief's office
The federal and FCT fire services were immediately contacted.
The building was evacuated as staff and witnesses used extinguishers to battle the inferno before the firefighters arrived at the scene in the Wuse area of Abuja.
Back view of the building
The fire destroyed the office of the Editor-in-Chief and sprayed soot on the newsroom and other offices.
Computers, printers, furniture, documents, as well as the personal effects of Mr Mojeed were all destroyed.
The fire, which started at about 1.30 p.m., forced the newspaper to cancel its weekly editorial meeting.
Staff members were baffled by the suddenness of the fire. But fire officers suspected an electrical fault as the cause.
Commenting on the incident, Assistant Managing Editor, Bisi Abidoye, who witnessed the incident, lamented its havoc on the office of the Editor-in-Chief.
"We noticed smoke billowing from the Editor-in-Chief's office about 20 minutes after he left for the mosque. It was all so sudden and the damage was so severe," he said.
Mr Abidoye said the incident has been reported to the authorities for formal investigation.

Founder and printer Claire Jauregui started Orange Twist in 2008 as a way to foster connections between people while injecting humor and handcrafted design into everyday life. Claire loves color, word play, and puns, and is committed to creating quality, environmentally sustainable goods.
Orange Twist cares about the environment and our impact on it. We use 100% post-consumer recycled paper products for all white cards and all envelopes. Individual cards are packaged in biodegradable protective sleeves made from plants. Orange Twist uses non-toxic, water-based ink, reclaims screens, and reuses and recycles office and packing.
Our organic, 100% cotton rompers are some of the softest clothing that the babies in your life will enjoy. Not only do our rompers feel great, but they're great for the environment. Organic cotton eliminates the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers that affect the health of the soil, water, and workers.
Each item is screenprinted by hand in our Seattle studio with non-toxic, water-based, phthalate-free ink. We love the saturated colors, opaque ink coverage, and intensely direct relationship that screenprinting offers. Slight variations in ink color, coverage, and registration are a part of the handcrafted nature of Orange Twist items and should be considered part of their appeal.
Claire Jauregui is a Seattle-based artist who has loved making cards since elementary school. Orange Twist was conceived as a way for Claire to use her printmaking skills and continue making creative work without a dedicated studio space. Cards were small enough to allow Claire the ability to work on many designs at once and fulfilled her desire to make items that would be enjoyed, used, and foster connections between people.


Dr. Weeks' Comment: Resveratrol for cancer. Antioxidants have two edges on their sword.
ScienceDaily (Mar. 22, 2012) "" Antioxidants have long been thought to have anti-aging properties, primarily by protecting a person's genetic material from damaging chemicals. The story, however, now appears to be much more complicated.
National Institutes of Health researchers from two institutes and one center have demonstrated that some antioxidants damage DNA and kill cells instead of protecting them. The findings, published in theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on March 19, 2012, also suggest that this surprising capability may be good for treating cancer, but may prove cautionary when using antioxidant-based medicines to treat other disorders, such as diabetes.
To study DNA repair, Dr. Myung's group sought a new way to easily identify chemicals that damage DNA and then use those chemicals to study cellular repair mechanisms, a basic research question. Using a laboratory grown cell line from human kidneys, the NHGRI team, which included Jennifer Fox, Ph.D., lead author and post-doctoral fellow, developed a novel laboratory test, or assay, that readily shows when a chemical exposure damages DNA.
With the test developed, Dr. Myung's team formed collaborations with two other NIH research groups: The first was with what is now the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). Over the last several years, a team led by Christopher Austin, M.D., head of the NCATS laboratories, has developed high-throughput chemical screening systems using robotics. Dr. Austin agreed to use Dr. Myung's assay to rapidly test thousands of chemicals for their ability to damage DNA. But what chemicals should they test?
In 2008, the NIH Chemical Genomics Center, then part of NHGRI and now at NCATS, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formed an initiative called Tox21 to develop high-throughput screening tests that measure cellular harm caused by environmental chemicals. The Tox21 team created a library of some 2,000 compounds and agreed to test them against Dr. Myung's assay. The NHGRI researchers also added a commercially available chemical collection to the screening runs for a total of some 4,000 chemicals.
The screening runs produced surprises, identifying 22 antioxidants that damaged DNA. Three of the antioxidants — resveratrol, genistein and baicalein — are currently used — or being studied — to treat several disorders, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteopenia and osteoporosis and chronic hepatitis, as well as serving as an anti-aging treatment.
Still, there is plenty of work already underway. Other researcher teams had launched various studies of these DNA-damaging antioxidants in various diseases. For example, 44 studies are currently listed in www.clinicaltrials.gov for resveratrol, which is found in many foods, including red grapes and wine, peanuts and chocolate. The studies focus on treating Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, inflammation, colon cancer, multiple myeloma, and testing other anti-aging strategies, among others. The newly reported study does not suggest that resveratrol in red wine is harmful; the dose is probably too low to be significant, Dr. Myung said.

42 Splurge-Worthy Products To Start Saving Up For Now
Repeat after me: full-body bath pillow.
by Chelsea Stuart
by Yi Yang
1. A BedJet cooling and warming system which makes it possible to regulate your nighttime temperature so you can stop waking up in a pool of sweat.
The futuristic gadget (which works on beds of all sizes) is outfitted with biorhythm sleep technology. Basically, that's just a fancy way of saying it's programmed to change the temperature each hour of the night to help you sleep better. You can also set the temperature to whatever degree you'd like by using the accompanying remote. If you're a cold sleeper, you can also set it to heat mode and it'll warm you up 15 times faster than a regular ol' blanket! Just plug the small unit into an outlet, slip the vacuum-like tube under your sheets, set your preferred temperature and you're good to go. Since there are no wires or anything like that, it also won't affect the coziness of your mattress.
Promising review: "First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into to flames every night at 2 a.m.!" —Matthes
Get it from Amazon for $399.
2. An Our Place Always Pan that can do just about everything and eliminate a few extra dishes in the process. If it could wash itself, there'd truly be no stopping it.
The Always Pan can replace your tired fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. If that isn't worth a little extra dough, I'm not sure what is.
What's included: A nesting beechwood spatula with an integrated spoon rest and custom stainless-steel steamer basket.
Promising review: "Love this pan! It's incredibly nonstick, easy to clean, plus the perfect depth for just about anything we cook! Truly the perfect pan!" —Christine G.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in seven colors).
3. A summery shoulder bag with brushed silver hardware that'll last a lifetime. No, seriously — if they *don't*, Hammitt will replace them (as well as the signature red suede lining and strap clasps) free of charge.
Hammit
Promising review: "I've been watching, looking, and obsessing over these bags for months and months. When I finally pulled the trigger and received it, I was in awe. First the packaging. Incredible. Then the bag. The leather is literally as soft as butter. It's beautiful. The structure of the bag, the red beautiful insides, the functionally, even the thin strap. It's so sleek and stunning. I am so glad I finally purchased this bag. It's the best bag I've ever owned." —Jennifer
Get it from Hammitt for $175+ (available in four sizes and 11 colors/patterns).
4. A do-it-all Instant Pot that can whip up meals in 20 minutes or less! I'm not too fond of the kitchen myself but I have made pulled BBQ chicken, teriyaki chicken and rice, and mashed potatoes in one of these with little effort.
This handy kitchen gadget has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer! Check out our review of the Instant Pot!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I've ever owned. I love it so much that I've purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can't it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the eight-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I've tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman
Get it from Amazon for $69 + (available in three sizes).
5. A cozy, oversized Nike sweatshirt you can throw on over bike shorts for a celeb street-style look a la the Hadids & Co.
Promising review: "When I first bought this sweatshirt, I thought 'great another sweatshirt' in a long line of sweatshirts. Well, let me tell you this is the best sweatshirt I have ever owned (and I've owned a lot). I have not taken it off since I received it which my husband finds hilarious. Why is it so great? It's incredibly soft, it's oversized like the kind of sweatshirt you would steal from your husband/boyfriend, but it's slightly cropped so it looks chic with leggings. If I could buy it in every color I would. Runs true to size, but meant to look oversized." —AnabelleE
Get it from Nike for $60 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and1X–3X and in nine colors).
6. A Filtrete air purifier with a HEPA filter that'll capture 99.97% of airborne particles so you aren't breathing in dust, lint, pollen, pet dander, and viruses. (There's definitely more I could say on that last one but it's just too soon...tooooo soon.)
Promising review: "We wanted a HEPA filter to reduce allergens in our home. Decided to try the 3M model as we use their HVAC filters. Really happy with this unit. It has three speeds and cleans the air in a room pretty fast. The lowest speed produces a 'white noise' that's quiet enough to use at night while sleeping. It's fairly large and has some heft to it, so it's not cheap and flimsy. The cover is a bit flexible though. Mine had two pieces of tape to help secure it. Might have been for shipping, but I left it on. It also removes odors. I ran it for an hour in a closet that's a little stale and the difference was immediate." —Jewelshine
Get it from Amazon for $151.66.
7. A KitchenAid stand mixer just begging you to try your hand at every Christina Tosi creation. Imagine a world in which you perfect Milk Bar's signature birthday cake and you can eat it whenever you want. 🍰 🤤
The five-quart stainless-steel bowl can mix dough for nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread in a single batch! The mixer comes with a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook, a six-wire whip, and a pouring shield.
Promising review: "Yep, it's worth all the rave reviews it gets and the price point, too. This thing is a sturdy, pretty little workhorse that handles cookies, breads, and whatever else. I've never baked more, now that I have it and the attachments are so EASY. They mix ingredients well. They come clean well. My food comes out fabulous. I upgraded to this from a hand-me-down mixer from the '90s and this machine is the most amazing upgrade. Buy it, it's worth the investment." —Sara
Get it from Target for $349.99 (available in three colors).
8. A bottle of Biossance's Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum that'll dissolve dead cells overnight and leave you with supple, glowing skin instead! If you're concerned about uneven texture, fine lines, large pores, or dullness, give this baby a go.
Promising review: "This has been working wonderfully for my extremely sensitive skin. I use it every other night and it really does make a visible difference immediately. New staple in my skincare routine." —HOLLY M.
Get it from Biossance or Amazon for $62.
9. A Blueland cleaning kit with all the essentials — AKA bottles and tablets — that allow you to whip up your own multi-surface, glass + mirror, and bathroom cleaners as well as foaming hand soap. Once you run out, just re-up on tablets and you're good to go.
Blueland
I (Chelsea) recently bought this kit after thinking about it for 6+ months and I am OBsessed. You just fill the bottles with warm water (there's a designated line), pop in a tablet, and let it dissolve. It's seriously that simple. I immediately tested everything out to see how it holds up against my usual products (Mrs. Meyer's, Clorox, and Windex) and I was really pleased with the results. The most exciting thing though is how affordable it is to refresh your stock. The more tablets you buy the cheaper they are — you can get a nine-tablet refill for just $14!! If I were to buy nine new bottles of cleaner from my NYC bodega or grocery store, that'd at LEAST $45!
What's included: Three reusable cleaning bottles, one reusable foaming hand soap bottle, and four tablets (multi-surface, glass + mirror, bathroom, foaming hand soap).
Blueland is a woman- and minority-founded brand from Sarah Paiji Yoo. She came up with the idea after her son was born and she realized just how much plastic waste is generated from everyday items like cleaners.
Promising review: "LOVE the kit — especially the hand soap. It smells AMAZING and I ordered extra tabs so I could fill all the empty soap dispensers in my house! My family wants to see more products with that iris agave scent!" —Jessica
Get it from Blueland for $39 (or $35 with Subscribe & Save).
10. A weighted blanket that'll help you fall asleep and stay asleep with its calming, hug-like embrace. Add a white-noise machine to the mix and you may just sleep for 12 hours straight.
Pro tip: For the most therapeutic effect (increased melatonin, decreased cortisol, and less stress/anxiety), go for a blanket that is roughly 10% of your body weight. It doesn't hurt to go heavier, but it does take some time to get used to, so give it a few days!
Promising review: "Within just a few minutes of draping this beautiful blanket over myself, I was feeling more relaxed than I had in months. Anxiety is awful, and sometimes you even have anxiety when you don't realize it, so you don't relax as much as you think you are. This blanket is like a warm hug all over. I have suggested this blanket to every person I know. Get it for your own mental wellbeing." —Claire Gong
Get it from Amazon for $28.98+ (available in three weights).
11. A Diptyque room spray laced with notes of berries, black currant, and rose that are *so* vibrant, a single spritz will guarantee no guests suspect what just went down in your bathroom.
Promising review: "I would definitely recommend this scent. I spray about two pumps in my bedroom/bathroom before I leave in the morning and when I return home in the evening the smell is still there." —Athelia D.
Get it from Saks for $68.
12. A pair of true wireless headphones with 24 full hours of playtime so you can listen to a non-stop stream of TikToks without annoying your housemates.
The charging case and earbuds have a combined 24 hours of battery life. When fully charged, the earbuds are capable of 6.5 hours of use. There's even a quick charge function that gives you three hours of use with only 15 minutes of charging time.
Promising review: "I am in the Esports industry, so I've tried my fair share of headphones and earbuds — and these are not only comfy, but they are also some of the best quality earbuds (let alone the fact that they are wireless) that I've ever worn/used. The battery life is insane and on top of that, the charging case gives me a full-day security of being able to listen non-stop to music/phone calls without having to worry that they'll die. I've tested the 15-minute fast charge and it works incredible. I am beyond impressed. The music quality is top-notch and the volume is so impressive that I couldn't even get it to full volume. I also love that I can use them ONE earbud at a time. This means I can have more comfortable listening options and more accessible phone calls. Already planning on buying these for Christmas gifts, I would recommend to everyone." —Don Goode
Get them from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors).
13. A Dyson hair dryer that blasts your hair with negative ions to help reduce static and flyaways. Never have I lusted so hard over negative ions...
What's included: Magnetic styling concentrator attachment, magnetic smoothing nozzle attachment, and magnetic diffuser attachment.
Promising review: "I adore this blow dryer so much. I had my eye on it since it first hit the market and saved up all my gift cards to finally purchase it on my birthday (it is worth the price tag). Not only is it gorgeous and elegant to look at, it seriously does cut my hair drying time in half. As a college student who is always on the run, this saves me so much time. I have long, thick, dark, curly hair that would normally take over an hour to style. My favorite part of this dryer is how it diffuses my curls. People do notice the difference when I use the Dyson versus when I let my curls air dry. The compliments come rolling in with the use of this dryer. It is really quiet, powerful, and not heavy, making it easy and convenient to use. I do not regret this purchase one bit. For straightening or enchancing my curls, the Dyson goes beyond my expectations." —Prissy515
Get it from Nordstrom or Sephora for $399 (available in three colors).
14. A Nectar memory foam mattress because if your current one has seen you go through braces, your Hollister phase, and moving into your first apartment — it's definitely time for a new one.
Nectar offers a 365-night risk-free sleep trial and Forever Warranty. Plus, every Nectar mattress is shipped fast and free to your front door. And if it's not a perfect fit, Nectar will refund your purchase and have the mattress donated or recycled.
Promising review: "I didn't realize how much a good night sleep truly means until I discovered this mattress. I was used to getting up several times throughout the night and chalked it up to being a light sleeper. Since [getting] this mattress, my husband and I fall asleep within minutes and sleep through the night. Even the dog is enjoying this bed and spends all her free time relaxing on our bed now. I travel a lot for work and sleep on different beds throughout the US and I can honestly say this is my favorite bed ever!" —Yvette T.
Get it from Nectar or Amazon for $499+ (originally $798+; available in sizes twin–California King).
15. A low-maintenance countertop garden that is seriously a foolproof way to grow your own produce. And I (Chelsea) don't mean foolproof in the way that "a succulent is nearly impossible to kill!" — because I've sadly killed plenty...
This kit comes with a six seed pods (Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, Dill, Thyme, Thai Basil, and mint) a 3-oz bottle of our patented, all natural plant nutrients (enough for a full season of growth). There's no soil, no loose seeds, no needing to move it in/out of direct sunlight, etc., etc. You literally just plug it in, pop in the pods, give them an initial spritz, and watch it get to work!
Promising review: "I travel a lot for work and the AeroGarden, despite its price, has actually saved me a lot of money. I love fresh herbs and lettuce but I tend to throw so much away. With this I pick what I need which I love. The leaves are lush and huge compared to store bought bagged/boxed mixes which are great for sandwiches and burgers. I have three of these, two with herbs and one with various lettuces. The company is great, too; I had a seed pod that didn't sprout and they sent me a new one." —Vanessa MS
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three colors).
16. A cult-favorite Stila waterproof liquid eyeliner capable of withstanding summer sweats so your signature cat eye is never caught slipping.
instagram.com, instagram.com
Promising review: "This is the best eyeliner I have tried. I went to a water park, and I spent the whole day there. I got to the hotel and looked at my eyeliner, and it was intact. It didn't even fade a lil' bit. Haven't used any other eyeliner since then. It also has the perfect size brush. Love it." —M. V
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 12 shades).
17. A super compact Bluetooth-enabled treadmill that'll give you a great workout without taking up too much space or subjecting you to boiling temperatures. Once you're done, just fold down the handrail and slide it under your couch or bed. The threat of dust bunnies collecting may even make you want to use it more.
Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed, Treadly
The versatile treadmill is super lightweight and simple but it still keeps track of your speed, steps, time, and distance. The aluminum-reinforced hydraulic handrail allows you to start, stop, pause, and increase or decrease speed just like any other model. While the standard Treadly is controlled with a remote, the Treadly 2 works with an IOS app where you can set daily or monthly goals, join live groups, or compete against friends.
I (Chelsea) just got the Treadly 2 which has been massively helpful during quarantine. My mom was the only one home when it was delivered and despite being only 5' tall (she'll tell you she's 5'2"), she managed to get it into the house and up a full flight of stairs because she's just that stubborn. (She does now admit it's a two-person job, however.)
Setup is a breeze as it's literally already put together — all you have to do it plug it in. The controls are easy to use and once you pair it with your smartphone, the app instantly recognizes whenever you turn the treadmill on. Beth (aka my mom) has an Apple watch so she used the activity tracker on there to see if the distance and calories matched up between Apple's tech and Treadly's tech and they did so she gives that a thumbs up. After walking on it for a few weeks (roughly an hour per night, four nights a week), her favorite things are: The switch functionality (great for interval training), how stable it feels both on carpet and laminate or hardwood (she tried both), and overall ease of use ("it feels like you're walking on an airport people mover!"). Her only advice for Treadly — if you're listening — is to add a cupholder accessory LOL.
Get it from Treadly for $749+ (originally $849+; available in Basic and Plus models).
18. A slim, self-charging robot vacuum so smart, it automatically adjusts its suction power depending on the mess it encounters. This way, you don't have to spend one. more. Sunday. cleaning every square inch of your home! Now, you can sit back and watch this gadget do all of the work.
This robo-vac has an infrared-sensor for evading obstacles and drop-sensing tech to avoid falls. It also automatically recharges so it's always ready to clean. It comes with a remote control (two AAA batteries included), charging base, AC power adapter, cleaning tool, an extra set of high-performance filters, four side brushes, and five cable ties. It can clean continuously for up to 100 minutes.
Promising review: "We are very pleased with our Eufy who we named Sneaky Pete because he is very quiet and can sneak up on you. We run him twice a day and are always surprised how much grime and pet hair he picks up. The instructions are simple and clear. Cleaning is super easy. He travels under beds and couches where we would not normally be able to reach with the traditional vacuum. After comparing all of the leading robo-vacs, we chose the Eufy because it was rated as high as expensive ones and was less than half of the cost. We chose well. Like all robo-vacs, Pete will become confused on an area that is black due to the anti-fall safety feature. Like a black patch of a rug. But, we don't hold that against him. Our dog is totally indifferent to Pete which is another pleasant surprise. We are very happy with our Eufy." —Dahna Brinkley
Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in two colors).
19. A Dyson Outsize cordless vacuum if you've got a wholeeeee lotta carpet and pets who shed an aggressive amount. Idk about you, but I can't ~fully~ relax without clean floors.
Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed
What's included: High torque XL cleaner head, hair screw tool, crevice tool, stubborn dirt brush, mini soft dusting brush, combination tool, wand clip, docking station, two chargers, and two batteries.
Promising review: "I recently bought this and it has been amazing! This is my third Dyson and I really enjoy that the base is larger than the last so I can cover more area at once. I have a German Shepherd and a kitty so this vacuum kills the fur!" —Hayley
Chelsea here — I've personally had this baby for a few weeks now and it is incredible. When I tell you it pulls up a startling amount of cat fur and dust from my area rugs, I mean a STARTLING amount. I have an inexpensive robo vacuum that I used to rely on to clean them but who knew so much more was hiding in there!!! I LOVE that the Dyson Oversize comes with two batteries because I am terrible about charging things. I am also just so dang impressed with the pure amount of power this thing has and the fact that it swivels so smoothly! I can get it into corners and under my couch and coffee table without any extra effort. Ofc, the various cleaning tools are also super helpful and the fact that they're so easy to attach/detach. TBH I didn't read the directions and figured everything out myself — that's how intuitive it is.
Get it from Amazon or Dyson for $799.99.
20. A Quip electric toothbrush that vibrates for a full two minutes — AKA *just* enough time to hum the entirety of My Shiny Teeth and Me by Chip Skylark. 🦷
Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed, Quip
I (Chelsea) have never been an electric toothbrush person but Quip has swayed me. I like how sleek and small it is and the fact that I don't have to plug it into anything or take up extra counter space. Best of all, though, is the built-in two-minute timer which buzzes every 30 seconds to let me know it's time to brush a different part of my mouth. Before, when I used a regular ol' bamboo toothbrush, I really thought I was getting in a full two minutes but boy was I wrong 😬I can *definitely* tell a difference in how clean my teeth feel after using Quip.
Promising review: "Amazing. My teeth have never felt so clean. It feels like you're getting a personal dental cleaning every time." —Nicole M.
Get it from Quip for $40 (originally $45; available in four metallic finishes).
21. An easy-to-install Tushy bidet which will save you serious $$$ on toilet paper and have you feeling clean as a whistle (whatever that means).
The — dare we say it — sleek attachment requires no electrical or plumbing work to install and you can have it up and running in 10 minutes or less. It fits on round, oval, and elongated toilets, too, so you shouldn't have any issue.
Promising review: "How have I lived for 68 years without my Tushy Spa??????? ❤ This is one of the best purchases that I have ever made! Obviously, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!! I might have to buy another one to take on vacation!!! 😳" —Brenda N.
Get it from Tushy for $119 (originally $129; available in seven color combinations).
22. A stone-washed linen duvet with fresh, spring-y stripes that'll have you throwing open your windows, grabbing that book you've been excited to read, and plopping down on top of the covers (in your *indoor* clothes, obvs) for a nice lil' R&R sesh.
Piglet, Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed
I (Chelsea) got this duvet a few months ago and it's SO great for spring and summer. It's got a great medium weight to it so it's breathable but also does keep me cozy if there's a breeze. My bedroom is a mishmash of mid-century modern/bohemian/transitional style and it really compliments all of my existing pieces from a tasseled Persian rug to my cat-shaped antique end table. I especially appreciate that there are ties so I can secure my duvet insert inside because there is nothing worse than waking up to your duvet in a ball.
Promising review: "Amazing, great quality linen and the color is really nice, too." —CL
Get it from Piglet for $249+ (available in Full/Queen–King/California King and in 11 colors/patterns).
23. A sturdy set of stainless-steel cookware that will put your $5 Ikea pan to shame. Turns out, your skillet *shouldn't* bend or send off plumes of smoke when heat is applied. Who knew? 🤷🏻♀
This set includes a 1.5-quart covered saucepan, a 2.5-quart covered saucepan, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, a 6-quart covered stockpot, an 8-inch skillet, and a 10-inch skillet.
Promising review: "I've been using these for three years now, and they are as good as new. We use the frying pan every single day and the pots at least weekly. They get a lot of use but we take good care of them. We avoid using metal on these and only use soft sponges to hand wash. When junk gets stuck on them (oil stains, burnt food...) we use a little Bar Keeper's Friend and they are as good as new. Beautiful set!" —Laura
Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $229.99.
24. A knife block set because ~literally~ speaking, your dull butter knives just aren't cutting it anymore.
The tempered glass knife block holds the 3-1/2-inch paring, 5-inch utility, 8-inch chef's, 8-inch bread, and 6-inch boning knives.
Promising review: "I needed good knives but I bought this in the first place for the block. This glass and stainless block is amazing. It's beautiful, and it makes more sense than any other knife storage I've seen. First, the blades aren't resting on anything. Unlike traditional wooden blocks, it's terrifically easy to clean. Just take the top rack off, unscrew the tops of the pillars and it comes apart. Unlike a magnetic strip, the blades are covered so there is no danger in removing them from their place. The knives themselves? For Thanksgiving, I prepared a turkey, a ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, nine pies, 80 bacon and onion rolls, and several other dishes. The knives worked like magic. They are very sharp, but if you handle them with care, they do the work for you. I do not put them in the dishwasher but use a bit of [dish detergent] and a sponge, wipe them off, and let them air dry prior to replacing them in the block. These are the best knives and best block I have ever had." —brenmiy
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $149.
25. A low-impact Brrrn board so you can slideeee your way to a sweat without worrying about your neighbors filing a noise complaint.
Brrrn
The 5-foot-long board comes with a pair of slide mittens and booties as well as access to hundreds of on-demand workouts in categories like yoga, core, and cardio sculpt.
Promising review: "My husband and I are triathletes who are obsessed with finding new ways to cross train. He purchased a very popular connected bike, while I invested in the Brrrn board. And after eight weeks, let's just say that my progress is far exceeding his (sorry hubs!). Please don't waste your hard-earned money on anything else besides Brrrn At-Home!" —Sharon B.
Get it from Brrrn for $229.
26. A bottle of Fenty Beauty's Pro Filt'r matte foundation that is so long lasting, reviewer's say it holds up even after eight hours under a mask! Plus, they say it doesn't even transfer a drop!!
Promising review: "I'm not the type of person to wear makeup everyday, especially if it's cakey because I have really oily and sensitive skin. I love natural looking makeup. I put this foundation on and it's literally like my skin. You will not feel it and it looks soooo natural. I have also NEVER been able to find a foundation that is my skin tone, it literally matches my skin perfectly. I think the foundation is the best thing in the line. I never do reviews but I have to give props where it's due." —stacyrenee24
Get it from Sephora for $35 (available in 50 shades).
27. A bottle of Jot coffee concentrate if you're a person who ~exclusively~ drinks cold brew. Just pour 1 tablespoon over ice and add eight ounces of water for a super smooth cup of joe.
More from BuzzFeed shopping writer Mallory Mower: "I am rather certain that there is more Jot than blood in me by this point. After discovering how delicious this stuff is, I totally dropped my expensive cafe habits and have stuck to this for my daily cup of coffee. It has a rich taste, is wildly easy to make (just pour a tablespoon into 8 ounces of your favorite base), and the SEXY bottle even makes the inside of my fridge look nice."
Jot's Ultra Coffee not only tastes incredible, but it's also more eco-friendly than regular ol' concentrate as every batch is made *only* from Fair Trade coffee beans and the leftover grounds are composted. Each 6.8-ounce bottles makes 14 cups of coffee, so $24 gets you two full weeks of caffeine.
PS: Try it over ice cream for a super simple affogato!
Promising review: "I have never really been a coffee person and found the whole process pretty laborious. But being able to make an amazing cup of coffee with just some hot water has changed all of that. Highly recommend!" —Vince M.
Get it from Jot for $24.
28. A Breville espresso maker that will allow you to live out your barista fantasy in the comfort of your own home. As someone who had high school and college jobs at Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, I can tell you it's much more fun this way!!
Promising review: "I do not understand how this thing is only $500. I'm a manager for a cafe, and we run a $25,000 four-group La Marzocco and a $7,000 grinder, and it's like I never even left the shop. Everything about this product is stellar. It comes with everything you need to brew a good shot. All you need is a knock box. I was worried that it would feel kind of cheap due to the price but I was wrong. The portafilter is heavy duty, I was worried it would be flimsy. It's not. The grinder produces a consistent grind every time. The machine itself looks beautiful and is heavy duty. Not much plastic to be found. Steam wand has the perfect amount of power and allows you to really get the temp and froth perfect. Skilled baristas will have no problem doing great latte art with this machine. It's all in one. No separate grinder needed, and the included grinder is high quality. Very easy to setup. Shots have good crema, great flow rate, but obviously this will more so depend on beans and proper dosing, but just know you can make some very good espresso. Best decision I've made. It is great for people who are wanting to get into espresso/coffee but don't want to spend a fortune, yet it is so high quality that a skilled barista can fine tune everything for their idea of a perfect shot." —Spetsnaz
29. An adjustable workstation bike if you prefer to get 💰paid💰 while burning calories. Prop your laptop up on the desk, maybe even turn on some Netflix in the background, and go ahead and start spinning.
amazon.com, amazon.com
The quiet and compact stationary bike weighs just 51 pounds and is easy to move around thanks to four wheels. The desktop also has ample room for not only your laptop, but a drink, notebook, or whatever else you need close at hand.
Promising review: "This is the tool of 2020! Zoom meeting? No problem — pedal away! Teleworking? No worries about your cardio! I've been struggling to balance a new baby, running a business remotely and getting exercise — until now! This bike is a lifesaver. The desk and seat are fully adjustable and it comes fully assembled (other then having to put in the desk). It rolls easily and stores small. I can't recommend highly enough!" —Angela P
Get it from Amazon for $299+ (available in two configurations and colors).
30. A trio of Glossier serums that'll boost moisture, calm blemishes, and leave you absolutely glowing. Doesn't hurt that they'll look super cute on your vanity, too.
Super Pure is a niacinamide + zinc serum that clarifies, improves the overall look of skin texture, and removes impurities and excess sebum in pores.
Super Bounce is a hyaluronic acid + vitamin b5 serum that hydrates and helps reveal skin that looks softer and more supple.
Super Glow is a vitamin c + magnesium serum that helps improve the appearance of dark spots, creates smoother, brighter-looking complexion, and energizes tired-looking skin.
Promising review: "I love this pack because it's so helpful in allowing me to self-diagnose what my skin needs and adjust it based on how it might feel that day. The labeling of the serums makes this especially easy; a lot of the serums I buy are very general and vague about what they are supposed to do for my skin. The Glossier serums are very specific, which is super helpful for someone like me who doesn't know much about the specifics of skincare; not to mention they all work super well! I use Super Bounce for when I'm feeling dry and tight, Super Glow for when I'm feeling dull and tired, and Super Pure for when I feel like I'm nearing a breakout. I'll definitely be repurchasing when I run out!" —Mich
Get the trio from Glossier for $65.
31. A full-body bath pillow so you can roll off of your regular mattress and onto your submerged mattress. Not gonna lie, the second time I used this, I did fall back asleep.
The pillow grips to your tub via 21 nonslip suction cups and let me tell you — they don't play around. The first time I used mine, I actually had to put my back into getting one of them to let go. That's not a complaint in the slightest, though, as it didn't move an inch during my hour-long bath! It also comes with a mesh storage/wash bag which I really appreciate.
Promising review: "I can take a relaxing bath now! I have always loved the idea of baths but whenever I'd take one, I always was uncomfortable and just decided they were overrated. Saw this and randomly bought it... ended up spending way too long in the bath. Only got out because of responsibilities... Within a couple minutes of bath draining, I reached for it I thought and I thought, 'Here comes the reason I'll end up never using this again...' I got back in the tub and took my towel off, expecting to just use my whole naked body to squeeze this thing out... I lifted it up and... what the heck?! It was so light! Hardly anything squeezed out! That was the best part." —Nic
Get it from Amazon for $58.85.
32. A creamy deep conditioner that works on all hair types, but was really developed with curly and textured hair in mind! Australian Kakadu plum + starflower oil join forces to create a superrrr hydrating, but super lightweight formula.
Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed
And more from BuzzFeed shopping editor Kayla Boyd who is pictured above! "Bread Beauty Supply is an Australia-based, woman-owned business that was founded by Maeva Heim in 2020. This product works best for hair types 3a–4c. I recently started using Bread products and I really love how lightweight and easy they are to use. Since I have mixed textured hair that's been frequently dyed, it tends to get very dry. After using this deep conditioner my hair felt so much better and softer. In addition to that, the smell is A-MA-ZING. Definitely one of my new favorite wash day products."
Promising review: "Amazing product! Fantastic! I appreciate the fact that its bigger than the shampoo, since I have a tendency to go through conditioner quite quickly, and I think this maximizes my use because 1) the size and 2) its so effective that you don't need to use a lot of it. The texture is marshmallow-y and it smells amazing (Froot Lops?). It isn't offensively strong either, and lingers pleasantly." —Irina G.
Get it from Bread Beauty Supply for $28.
33. A pair of super-plush Brooklinen towels which will give you a spa-like experience every single day even if in your rush to get out of the shower and to an appointment, you only shaved one pit.
Brooklyn-based Brooklinen (see what they did there? 😏) is a direct-to-consumer brand from Vicki and Rich Fulop. Their Millennial-favored linens and home products are responsibly manufactured and much more accessibly priced than other high-end options.
Promising review: "The name says it all. These towels are the softest and most absorbent I have ever used. 100% would purchase again."—Miranda B.
Get the set of two from Amazon for $69 (available in three colors) or Brooklinen for $58.65 (originally $69; available in eight colors).
34. A seamless and supportive T-shirt bra that promises a smooth silhouette so your clothes flow right over it — eliminating band lines that can ruin your aesthetic.
ThirdLove
Promising review: "Seriously LOVE this bra. It's amazing. Thought about buying this bra for about a year until I finally took the leap. I've struggled for years in between sizes/not really knowing my size. Bras never fit right. Turns out I'm a cup size and a half! Who knew. This bra fits perfectly. It's amazingly soft and so comfortable. I immediately threw out the rest of my old bras and then bought four more from Third Love! All fit perfectly and I'm obsessed. Highly recommend." —BETH C.
Get it from ThirdLove for $68 (available in sizes band sizes 30–48, cup sizes A–I, and 11 colors).
35. An acrylic Squatty Potty designed to unkink your colon and help ya go, you know? Praise is so high for this bebe that one reviewer even said "If Elvis had a Squatty Potty he would be with us today."
Promising review: "I'm pleasantly surprised that I love everything about this! It's extremely durable, easy to clean, well made, and of high quality material. I love that the clear lucite allows it to disappear into the background, so it's not an eyesore. As for its functionality, it's amazing and far surpassed my expectations. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made for myself and my only regret is not buying it sooner. You don't know what you're missing until you try it. It's super awkward to talk about, but this just positions your body to have the easiest and more complete bowel movements. This has increased my overall feeling of health and well-being, and puts me in a better mood. I've noticed enough of a difference that I actually miss it when I'm away on vacation or at the cottage. People will say its gimmicky and I had my doubts but this has quickly become a need and not a want for me. Worth every penny!" —asianangel100303
36. A rechargeable sonic facial cleansing brush that'll clean out your pores so well, your skin will basically revert back to the level of softness it had the day you were born.
Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed
Promising review: "I dried my face with a white towel and there was not a speck of makeup left on the towel, and I didn't have a drop of mascara raccoon-eye look left on my face. This is the cleanest my face has ever been." —hine0108
Get it from Amazon for $119 (available in five colors).
PS: Read all of BuzzFeed shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer's review of the Foreo Luna here.
37. A Ruggable area rug you can fold up and toss in the wash when your dog knocks your bowl of queso off the coffee table. It was an honest mistake, they clearly feel bad, and the rug can be saved, so no hard feelings, okay?
Ruggable
How does one throw an entire rug in the wash, you might ask? Well, Ruggable's options come in two parts: the decorative rug cover and a grippy rug pad. When you're ready to give your rug a wash, just separate the two pieces and throw the top layer in the wash. Easy as can be!
Promising review: "I thought it was too good to be true but alas, it wasn't!! My doggo had explosive diarrhea on my four-week-old rug. I was devastated but knew this was our test. After sopping up the big mess, to the washer it went. The 8x10-foot fit in my standard size washer!! It came out of the dryer just as perfect as the day I got it. Unbelievable!! Super easy to put back on the pad and my living room looks (and smells) great again. Thanks, Ruggable!!" —Jamie M.
Get it from Ruggable for $149+ (available in nine colors).
38. A pair of trendy wide-leg trousers that I happen to wear every single day (🤫). Things I regularly wear them with: plain old tees, striped turtlenecks, knit sweaters, and lots and lots of chore coats.
I have these pants in three colors and during the before time (when I actually went to an office every day to work) I wore them 24/7. They pair well with all tops and shoes and they hold their shape while still offering a bit of stretch. I love, love, love them and can't wait for the day I can dust them off and take 'em back out on the town.
Promising review: "I've honestly been searching my whole life for that one style of pants that I can buy over and over again. At last I've found them! These pants are so comfortable, stylish and they fit like a glove. Needless to say, I have them in three colors. I'll continue buying these year after year. *P.S. I have these in two different sizes. I recommend sizing down one size for a more fitted feel and staying true to size for a more relaxed fit. Both are great." —KLMO
Get them from Everlane for $72 (available in sizes 00–16 in short and regular and in four colors).
39. A mirrored skincare fridge you can keep in your bedroom or bathroom to store all of your serums, jade rollers, and emergency sleeves of Reese's peanut butter cups. Home is where your secret sugar stash is, after all.
Promising review: "Cutest fridge for my facial products! I keep all my jade stones and cooling products in here. Absolutely love the mirror, no one knows it's a mini fridge!" —Rothy chan
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in two colors).
40. An Aquis microfiber body towel (the full-size version of the popular hair towel) that's like a ShamWow (I'm going to trust you remember the infomercials) but for your body instead of your car.

GROTON — Groton Police have named a suspect in the homicide of a man outside of a Groton pub early Sunday morning, and they say the suspect is believed to be "armed and dangerous."
Police have issued an arrest warrant for Dante Hughes, 30, of Groton, in the murder of Joseph Gingerella, 24, of Groton.
According to police and patrons of Ryan's Pub, who witnessed the incident, Hughes was beating his girlfriend in the restaurant's parking around 1:30 a.m. Sunday when Gingerella and others ran to her rescue.
While Gingerella tried to help the woman, please say Hughes shot him multiple times, and ultimately killed him.
"Our investigation has shown that, has demonstrated that he was actually trying to intervene on somebody's behalf and help them," Groton Town Police Chief Louis Fusaro Jr. said.
Hughes is described by police as a black man, 5-foot-11 tall, weighing 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Detectives are on the lookout for Hughes, who they said should be considered armed and dangerous. Anybody who sees Hughes should not confront him, but call 911 immediately.
By all accounts, Gingerella's last act wasn't his only heroic one , and his death is touching those around him.
"We deal with tragedies all the time in this line of work. But, when the deputy chief called to tell me who it was, my heart sank," Chief Fusaro said.
That heartbreak is because Fusaro knows Gingerella and his family well. Gingerella has battled an opioid addiction for years, which led him, his mother Tammy and his stepfather to start Community Speaks Out, a local nonprofit that advocates on behalf of families struggling with addiction.
Gingerella was very vocal about his addiction, hoping his story would help others.
"If it wasn't for Joey, we wouldn't be here right now. He was the brave one to stand out and speak about his experiences," explained Lisa Cote Johns, who co-founded Community Speaks Out with the Gingerellas after her son, Chris, died of an overdose.
Gingerella's stepfather, Joe De La Cruz, was elected to the state House of Representatives in November.
A light has left our lives. Joey Gingerella brought a surplus of light and love into the world. His infectious joy would fill whatever room he was in. We will miss him terribly. Joey was dedicated to helping people. He used his life experiences to aid anyone in the community who needed a helping hand. We are incredibly moved by the outpouring of support from the community. Thank you all for your kind words about Joey.
FOX 61 talked to Gingerella's mother earlier this year, and she discussed her son's opioid addiction.
"This is a huge fight. If it can happen to my kid, who I thought might be able to go play professional somewhere, baseball, he was a great pitcher -- I just couldn't wrap my head. 'How is this my kid? He has a good home. I do everything right.' It doesn't discriminate," Tammy de la Cruz said of addiction on February 4. Gingerella played baseball in high school, and was a star of Fitch High School's team.
The senseless slaying of Joey Gingerella is a terrible loss for his family and the Groton community. His courageous public battle with addiction -- which he was winning -- was both an example and inspiration to us all. My deepest condolences go out to his family.
Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to contact the Groton Police Department at (860) 441 – 6712.

Pembroke Lumber Kings coach likes what he saw
By Ryan Paulsen
More from By Ryan Paulsen
Pembroke Lumber Kings head coach and owner Dale McTavish is optimistic coming out of the team's first preliminary training camp up on his watch.
Normally, the camp provides coaching staff a chance to scope out fresh new talents as hopeful rookies strut their stuff, but for McTavish, an equal pleasure was watching the returning veteran players taking their younger counterparts under their wing to help them along.
"It was good to have the veterans there for me to see them," he says. "It's the first time I've seen them play, and to bring the pace up and give us something to compare the young kids against."
Although part of the purpose of the camp was to give McTavish a birds-eye view of the composition and talent of his new team, he was also going into the weekend with a shopping list.
"We had spots at forward, d(efense) and goalie, and we're looking to fill those spots. With the kids coming in, I think we'll be able to fill those spots. I feel pretty happy with the way it went."
McTavish isn't revealing names yet, but he says that there are actually four players being courted by the team at the moment, three of whom have signed already, with news expected of the fourth in the next few days.
After the intensive weekend training session, the coach is confident that the new recruits will have plenty of help, based on the performance of the seasoned vets at the camp.
"I was pretty happy with the returning players also," McTavish says, "and their attitude. Some guys don't want to do that, skating around with the younger, but they were very good with them, and I was really impressed with the older guys, and the way they were working away at the camp."
Other than the four soon-to-be-announced signings, the Kings also added to their defensive roster, trading a draft pick to the Nepean Raiders for American defenseman Stephan Beauvais. Last year, Beauvais posted four goals, seven assists and more than 50 penalty minutes in 48 games with the Raiders.
The next stop for the Lumber Kings' returning players and hopeful recruits will be the main training camp, set to kick off on Friday, Aug. 16.

There is an old physician's saying that a cold, left untreated, will last seven days while a cold that is treated will last about a week.
Well I'm half way through a particularly virulent strain and feeling pretty miserable but I managed to throw together my favourite home remedy – spicy chicken soup. Sure, there are lots of cold medicines available at the local drugstore but most of those only treat certain symptoms and more often than not will leave you feeling more groggy and irritable and your wallet a little less fat. There are no cures for the common cold but easing the symptoms – sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, fatigue – can be done by throwing some key ingredients into a pot.
Chicken soup has long been a folk remedy for the common cold. There are historical records dating back to as early as the 12th century showing chicken soup prescribed as a cold and asthma remedy. More recently the medicinal claims have been put to the test and scientific research backs folk lore, chicken soup does help alleviate a cold, but the findings vary.
Pulmonary specialist and professor at the UCLA School for Medicine, Irwin Ziment, M.D., found that when chicken is cooked it releases an amino acid which chemically resembles acetylcysteine, a drug commonly prescribed for bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. He also points out that many spices that are traditional ingredients of chicken soup – pepper, garlic, or onions, for example (all ancient treatments for respiratory diseases) – help to thin mucous and make breathing easier.
Another researcher, Stephen Rennard, Larson Professor of Medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., used his wife's Lithuanian mother's recipe for chicken soup as the test subject in his work with inflammatory white blood cells, also called neutrophils. Inflammation in the bronchial tubes is often the result of an accumulation of neutrophils, which then cause cold symptoms such as congestion and coughs. Neutrophils showed less tendency to congregate in the presence of "Grandma's soup", even when diluted 200 times. In other words, the chicken soup helped to slow the progress of a cold.
A true researcher, Dr. Rennard also tested various store bought soups with even better results. Knorr's Chicken Flavor Chicken Noodle, Campbell's Home Cookin' Chicken Vegetable and Campbell's Healthy Request Chicken Noodle were the three top brands (he tested several others too) that effectively slowed the progress of colds.
One could argue that any hot liquid which produces steam helps alleviate colds by increasing the flow of mucous, thereby reducing respiratory inflammation. But in controlled studies with hot water, chicken soup performed better. Studies also show that if chicken soup is drunk through a straw the benefit is not as good as if it is taken from a cup or a bowl, so it must have something to do with inhaling the soup's aroma. In addition, it has also been shown that the effectiveness of chicken soup is in the broth, not the bits of chicken in the soup.

County Louth (or Lu in Irish) on the East Coast of Ireland is the smallest county in Ireland (it is affectionately called the 'Wee County'). Nevertheless it is has quite a long coastline with counties Meath and Dublin to the south and county Down to the north.
The Cooley Peninsula and Carlingford Lough are a most beautiful part of the county. From the Cooley Mountains are beautiful views of the Mountains of Mourne and Carlingford Lough, and the coast of the Irish Sea to the south.
The river Boyne runs through the town of Drogheda to the south, flowing under the wonderful Boyne Viaduct (this carries the Dublin-Belfast train).

"We intend to do our part to help the city of Grinnell and Poweshiek County get through this economic and humanitarian crisis and hope that our partnership with Grinnell College and other area foundations and nonprofits can be an example of community spirit that will encourage philanthropy at every level."

The past few weeks have been incredibly busy, and it's been all that I can do to keep up with the crush of work and things coming down the pike. In so many ways, I feel like I've been doing that "I Love Lucy" sketch where she's doing whatever she can to just get rid of the chocolates. I haven't exactly been stuffing my workload down my bra or anything, but it's been close. Metaphorically.
I've had to drop a few things to make sure that I caught up on other things, and even then it was a rough ride there for a couple of weeks. Now things are calming down a bit, so I've got a bit of time to sit down here at the Writing Desk and type up a thing or two.
The biggest news is that my dear husband Ryan has begun the adventure of a lifetime as a Clarion student for the next six weeks. If you're not familiar with the Clarion Workshop, it's a great program that molds new and untested talent by giving them access to some of the brightest minds working in speculative fiction today. Ever since we've heard about it, Ryan's wanted in and now he's there. Two folks in our writing group are full-fledged Clarionauts, and I couldn't be prouder of both of them.
That's left me flying solo for the next little bit, and I've decided to fill the time by taking a strong stab at being a writer. I've signed up for the Clarion Write-a-Thon (my author page is here if you'd like to make a donation) and I'm aiming to write 50,000 words of material by the time the Workshop is over on August 2nd. Hopefully, the very rough drafts of those short stories will be nurtured and polished into something workable — the goal is to have a small pile of things ready to submit to magazines, anthologies and other periodicals both in print and online. I'm excited about the chance to stretch myself out a little bit, to work on things that I've always wanted to but kept putting off.
Right now I'm writing a story about what happens when tragedy comes to my childhood neighborhood in Baltimore City. I have stories lined up about faeries in the inner-city, what happens when a zebra who's left the herd comes back home, and a romance featuring a giant monster just because Ryan asked for one. There will be more, of course, but the exact nature of those I'll be holding closer to my chest for now.
I'll be posting excerpts of what I write here, of course, and at the Clarion page. Let me know what you think of the bits, and if you like what you see please consider donating. It's for a great cause, and helps me tremendously in my show of solidarity with my dear husband.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to settling in to better habits steadily. I'm planning to renew my meditation habit, have made a promise to myself that I shall never eat out alone in an effort to cook my own meals more, and tuck in to a reading list that features black voices in speculative fiction. I'll probably mix in some Langston Hughes, James Baldwin and Maya Angelou because if not now, when?
I make no promises about being here regularly, speaking of — working on stories, reading stories and cooking my own meals come first. But I have a fair amount of free time for the next six weeks; I'm sure I'll update this space fairly often.
Famous last words, I'm sure. But for now, I'm up and out of the hole. What's new in your world?


Seeking to increase participant engagement with an attention-grabbing strategy, Kerstin Aiello, senior benefits manager for Synopsys Inc., tried an interactive financial/retirement quiz for the San Francisco-based software company.
"Engineers like to test things," Ms. Aiello said. "They like to test themselves."
Older ways of communicating information about the $1.4 billion 401(k) plan weren't effective, she said. Printed booklets "were thrown out or set aside to read later," she said. "I don't know if 'later' ever came."
Even email — the normal source of corporate communications — produced less-than-hoped-for results. "Email doesn't lend itself to bullet points," she said.
Working with Benz Communications, Synopsys settled on an eight-question quiz. Questions included what are the ways to contribute to the 401(k) plan, what are target-date funds, how often should you review your account, and what is the size of the company match. The company match is 40 cents on the dollar, up to $3,000 each year.
The quiz's multiple-choice answers occasionally offered some tongue-in-cheek responses. "What's the best thing about turning 50?" was one question. One answer was "nothing." The correct answer was the ability to add $6,000 to your 401(k) contribution.
The quiz produced welcome results as Synopsys compared participant actions during September-October 2017 when the quiz was offered vs. April-May 2017. Changes to asset allocations rose to 363 during the quiz period vs. 125 in the other period. There were 135 deferral increases during the quiz period vs. 90 deferral increases for the other period.
"The execution and rollout were done extremely well resulting in a high-impact marketing campaign," one judge wrote in support of an Excellence Award.
Ms. Aiello said 25% of 4,200 employees took the quiz last year. The quiz is now a permanent fixture on the company's website, but Ms. Aiello said Synopsys will roll out the quiz again with an education campaign in February.
The average test score was six out of eight correct. Ms. Aiello added that some employees retook the test until they scored 100%.


Design adaptation of a toilet cage pack to contain two refills in a plastic blister. The blister shape and size had to fit within the existing graphic without interfering with the visibility of the Domestos logo or product identity. Ideally the new pack should also create movement on shelf.
We were responsible for the technical development of the plastic blister and the adaptation of the graphics for the refill tablets. The new pack features an oval, thermorformed blister that we engineered to hold the refill tabs in an eye-catching, oblique position. Our design has optimized the space available and is both self-standing or can be hung from a hook.


ALEPPO – The radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) pounded Saturday the Kurdish-populated town of Tel Aran in the countryside of al-Bab city in Aleppo province, northern Syria, killing and wounding a number of civilians, including women and children, local activists reported.
Speaking to ARA News in Aleppo, media activist Nasser Tlajabini said that a group of ISIS militants tried to break into the town of Tel Aran from the eastern and southern sides of the town.
"ISIS-led ground offensive on Tel Aran was preceded by heavy shelling with artillery and mortars by the terror group, which led to the death of at least eight civilians, including a woman and two children from one family, and the injury of several others," Tlajabini added.
"The extremist group tries to take revenge of the town's residents –who had harbored Syrian rebels two years ago," he added.
The extremist group seeks to expand its areas of control in Aleppo province by fighting for major towns such as Tel Aran and Deir Hafer.
An eyewitness told ARA News that four of the Kurdish victims in the ISIS-led bombing on Tel Aran have been identified as Barouq Suleiman, Ayman Ashash, Hassan Fares and Ammar Sakaq.
"We could not identify the other victims yet," the source added.


Robbie's Sign Generator will convert a url string into a graphic sign for display in AW. Whereas AW's built in sign generator only allows one font and little control, this script allows you to use any font available on the domain, specify the positioning, rotation, background image, borders, and of course colors.
Because this uses the picture command instead of the sign command, these signs must be placed on picture accepting objects. There are three parts to the url.
In any php script, part 1 and part 3 must be seperated by a '?' symbol. Simply add a '?' mark.
Now you specify all the commands to the sign. One available command is 'text'. To use it, simply write "text=hello". You can add more commands, just seperate them with '&' symbols. For example 'text=hello&font=verdana'.
text - This is the actual text you want to appear on the sign. Use the variables below to write special characters. e.g. - text=hello+world!
font - This is the font to use to display the given text. Available fonts on swcity.net are available here.
jpg - This specifies the background texture. This only works with files in the pics or tex folder on swcity.net. If you want painting5.jpg in pics, use 0|painting5. If you want door21.jpg from the tex folder, use 1|door21. 0 = pics directory, 1 = tex directory.
inv - Calling this command without using 'bgcolor' or 'tcolor' will invert the default color scheme from 'black on white' to 'white on black'.
rainbow - Calling this command will cause the colors of the image to be randomly generated each time. This command was designed to work with the 'create picture [url] update=x' feature in AW.
