ArgoTrak Celebrates Accomplishments While Remaining Steadfast On Future Growth
Originally from Rochester, NY, Jim Wheeler, President and Co-Founder of ArgoTrak and Army Veteran, moved from New York to Florida in 2003. After 13 years with The Eastman Kodak Company, Wheeler was ready for a warmer climate and, most importantly, saw the writing on the wall. The popularity of digital cameras, printed photography and related materials was trending in the wrong direction and Wheeler identified a new opportunity in a booming industry: the housing market. After the move, Wheeler spent six years with Centex Homes until March of 2009 when everything came to a grinding halt.
For the next few months, Wheeler kept busy by doing business development and sales for a company that provides GPS tracking software for various devices and industrial solutions. In June of 2009, an idea occurred to both Wheeler and his father, who was also living in Naples at the time, which would eventually lead to the incorporation of ArgoTrak.
"My dad was retired, but still kept busy working as a charter boat captain," Wheeler said. "After a day of fishing, we were at the marina when we overheard marina staff radioing to other charter captains about a boat they couldn't locate. My dad and I both looked at each other and thought the same thing, 'Let's put GPS on boats'. That's pretty much how it started. We named the business ArgoTrak after Jason and the Argonauts because they could always find their way home."
The original partners were Wheeler and his father. Wheeler shared that he was not immune to the fears and concerns of starting his own business, but that the opportunity to work with his father and the support from his loving wife and family gave him the courage to press on. Founded on the idea of providing GPS tracking and monitoring for the marine industry, Wheeler and his partner soon realized a need to expand into other industries. Wheeler shared some of the challenges they faced along the way and where the company ultimately landed.
"I had no intention of starting a business," he said. "I'm an engineer by training. I had to learn how to hire people, manage people and pretty much everything you need to know in order to run a business. When my father passed away in 2016, it was a rough time for me and the Argotrak family. We were co-operators so an immediate concern was finding someone fill his role. Now that we're growing we have new sets of challenges."
Maintaining a Competitive Advantage
Today, ArgoTrak, has revolutionized GPS tracking and monitoring by providing unique solutions for an array of applications including Fleet Vehicle Tracking, Marine Vessel Tracking, Equipment Monitoring, Personal Vehicle Tracking, Tracking Loved Ones, Hours of Service, connected cameras and Container, Cargo & Asset Tracking. Wheeler shared some of the projects they're working on and how ArgoTrak maintains its competitive advantage.
"Our customer base is extremely diverse," he said. "As such, we provide different solutions for many different types of customers. On the marine side, we work with rental boat companies and marinas to pinpoint boats and provide communication between the marinas. We partner with plumbing, HVAC and other service providers to install driving detectors to allow them to monitor their employees. It may seem very 'big brother', but it's really designed to improve profitability, reduce risk and reward employees that are doing what they're supposed to be doing. We work with the government, agriculture companies to monitor water and soil levels and just launched a commercial trailer program. Our costs have really come down over the years, allowing us to provide a quantifiable ROI that, in the past, we couldn't do. I believe our strong ROI, our ability to customize solutions, the fact that we don't require contracts and our belief in old-fashioned values like picking up the phone, providing exceptional customer support and operating as a small and nimble company is what gives us a competitive edge over much larger companies."
ArgoTrak is able to operate as a small and nimble company because of its size. They currently have nine full-time employees, but also operate a dealer model that effectively extends their reach. Of the nine employees that work in-house, half of them are family. The other half, as Wheeler shared, are treated like family. It's a fun environment with an office ping pong table and the occasional spur of the moment trip to the bowling alley.
Notable Community Support
ArgoTrak is also extremely committed to giving back to the community. For several years they've been a title sponsor of the Collier County Distinguished Public Service Award, an award that recognizes outstanding contributions by First Responders. They've worked with the Red Cross and the North Naples Fire Department to install smoke detectors in houses. They participate in Make a Wish Walk-A-Thons and also work with a number of local 501(c)(3)s. They've provided equipment to St. Mathew's House, a homeless shelter in Collier County, and donated a GPS tracker to the Sonshine Academy after a bus was stolen.
"It's obviously a huge honor, but it also serves as a reinforcement that we're doing the right thing and on the right path," he said. "It's also very meaningful for our team. Sometimes they're giving their all, to have someone other than me tell them they're doing great is really special. This really is a shared honor and one that, without God, my wife, my team and the support of the local business community, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish alone. In terms of why we were selected, I think we provide our customers with a unique value proposition. We also focus on delivering our solutions with old-fashioned values. It's simple really. We treat our customers as they should be treated."
Looking ahead, Wheeler is focused on growth in the government sector and working with the Department of Veteran Affairs. He'd also like to work more with county municipalities and the state government. According to Wheeler, ArgoTrak is in a good position, in terms of size and name recognition, to go after some of these bigger projects. Opportunities also exist with the proliferation of IOT, long range RFID and high-powered Bluetooth, many of which Wheeler and team are positioning themselves to take advantage of.
Wheeler offers up some great advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. "It's really a combination of things, some of which are tried and true pieces of advice," he said. "For me, I never planned to start a business. However, I can now say that if you have the passion to do it, there's nothing more rewarding than starting and running your own business. I always like to say, 'Listen to sage advice and ignore conventional wisdom'."

Have you ever thought of why you feel so stressed when you see things at sixes and sevens? On the other hand, when everything is at its place and when you return back home from long hours of work, you feel happy.
Psychology says that you feel stressed out and anxious if there's you notice your stuff at home kept in an unmanageable way. Do you know hat is the first thing you notice when you come back home from a long day of hard work? Off course you're home!
I'm sure you will go nuts if you enter your home and see that the kids have piled up clothes, toys, and books, the sink of the kitchen is looking all cluttered with dirty dishes, your dog has stepped on to a couple of flowerpots, and the coffee table looks cluttered with half-filled cups.
There are people who will start having panic attacks after seeing their dwelling place in that condition. And, sometimes such people worry if they have gone mad and it's an unusual type of disease to feel like this. But, don't worry that's normal, you are behaving normally! Many psychologists say that keeping the space you live in cluttered and unmanaged can make you feel stressed and anxious.
But, the important thing is why messy space is considered the trigger of anxiety and stress. Let's answer it for you!
Clutter exposes us to a huge number of unimportant and useless stimuli and makes us feel overwhelmed.
It distracts us from other important things that should on our mind at that particular point in time. It eats away our focus and makes us feel stressed and frustrated.
You can't really relax! It keeps you mentally and physically stressed keeping no space for rest & time in peace.
It makes you feel as if none of your work has been completed! Your brain gets some signal for a clutter of uncompleted tasks.
Clutter brings you in the stressful zone because then you are worried about how you are going to clear up all the mess.
It will make you embarrassed and guilty about how you can be so unorganized and cannot manage things.
It negatively affects our creativity and productivity.
You feel frustrated because it leaves you at a space where it's very difficult for you to find something that you are looking for.
And, there's much more to the list! We have just mentioned a few of them. But, thank God, we have easy-fixes to stress caused due to clutter unlike other forms of stresses.
We'll let you know some of the ways that can effectively help you with avoiding stress caused due to clutter. Read below!
1. If you see the house looks cluttered and everything at sixes and sevens, there is a way out you can declutter it. But you have to be wise! Just get the entire family involved in the task, that would be fun doing it.
Divide either the task or the areas of the house! Assign each member one task one room and ask them to be responsible for it. And, even if you are doing the decluttering alone, just make sure that you are doing it one at a time. Take one portion at a time, finish it to completion and then move to another portion.
2. There's a way out if you want to keep yourself away from clutter! You can prevent clutter from happening by creating space for each item that you have at your home. This will make it easy for you to find easily whatever you are looking for.
And, you should not store any of your daily use items in open; keep them in a closet like drawers and cabinets. Keeping them in open will make it feel, make you feel stressed. Choose an elegant drawer to store these items. This will make space look uncluttered and there would be more area at home where you can play and spend some time in peace.
3. One of the most important things if you want to keep your brain healthy and at peace is getting rid of things that you don't really want. These useless items will do nothing but occupy space in your home and are one of the major cause of stress & anxiety.
So, no matter what you are going to do with these useless items just make sure that it's not unnecessarily occupying space. This way you will be able to make more open space and space for other new items.
4. If you want to stop piling up clutter all over in home then make a thumb rule! Make a rule at your home that whosoever will be picking up a thing from one place will be putting it back the very moment it's used. This small lifestyle change can have a tremendous effect on your mental health. Fighting this cause of stress and anxiety, in the beginning, might be a little tough, but in the end, you will get used to it.
Make the thumb rule, "keep the things back at their place after its uses are over! It will make a big difference.
5. And, the most important thing is that you have to make it fun! When you are doing with decluttering just make sure that you have put on your favorite music. This way, you'll be able to enjoy it to the fullest. It will not see a burden for you and will make you more efficient and fast. You'll see that the work is done in the blink of the eyes. You'll start enjoying the whole thing and at the end will feel happy & delightful!
A cluttered space can sometimes hamper your work! So, just choose to make it clean smartly!

Q: Why does changing directory within a python script affect displaying context in pdb? Changing directories within a script seems to prevent pdb from displaying the current line while stepping through code. Compare the scripts and output below.
import os
import pdb
os.chdir('..')
print 'hello'
pdb.set_trace()
print 'world'

outputs:
hello
/Users/username/test.py(6)<module>()
(pdb)

By contrast,
import os
import pdb
print 'hello'
pdb.set_trace()
print 'world'

outputs:
hello
/Users/username/test.py(5)<module>()
-> print 'world'
(pdb)

Why does this happen, and is there a way to prevent it (i.e., to get pdb to continue print the current line in a script with os.chdir)?

A: One cause of this problem is launching a module/script from the current directory.  For example, if I start my script from the shell using:
$ ./myscript.py

And then myscript uses os.chdir() to change the current working directory pdb will stop printing the current line each time it stops (though list will still work).  On the other hand, if you expand the path to your script before running it like this:
$ /Users/me/myproject/myscript.py

Then pdb is no longer confused and will print the line source each time it stops.

Q: Adding elements to lists with matrices as entries R When I output 'mat', it works as expected, with mat giving the whole list of matrices and mat[1], mat[2] and mat[3] giving the first second and third elements, namely 4x4 matrices with all entries equal to 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
However when I try to add a new element or change an existing one, I get an error, and instead of adding a 4x4 matrix to the list, it just adds a regular number.
How would I add a new matrix to the list? I am also open to using alternatives to list(). I am relatively new to R and I'd always used x = c(), but that doesn't seem to work for matrices either. Thanks in advance.
Input:
mat = list( matrix (c(1), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE),
            matrix (c(2), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE),
            matrix (c(3), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE) )

mat

mat[2]

mat[1] = matrix(c(0), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE)

mat[4] = matrix(c(4), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE)

mat

Output:
> mat = list( matrix (c(1), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE),
+             matrix (c(2), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE),
+             matrix (c(3), nrow = 4, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE) )

Sing into Place

Narrative Fiction

Photo by Jean-Philippe Delberghe
Want to stop AAPI hate? Start pronouncing Asian names correctly.
If I could look back as an old woman, and reflect upon my life, upon moments where everything literally changed by paradigms in but a few minutes, I know the death of my loved ones would rank first. But, up among those viscerally transformative moments would most certainly be the first time I heard music by a certain Halifax native, then 26. It was a hot summer's morning in Chennai, India, in 1993, and I remember the crickets stridulating from the verandah as I drank down a cold soda. Back in those days of CDs, I'd ask my dad to pick up a sampling of the latest music, based on favorable reviews from Entertainment Weekly magazine, on his business trips to America. I'd yet to find the music that resonated with me, as a seventeen-year-old, although I didn't know this back then.
When I heard the first track of this CD by the young Canadian, I didn't know, up until that moment, that it was possible for music to move me in such a way. It brought me to my knees. From the other end of the world, I'd felt as if someone had reached within me and yanked at the very core of my emotional being, but with a profoundly global resonance. Simply put, the world wasn't the same for me at the end of those three and half minutes of the song, Possession. I knew right then, that this was it: What I'd been looking for. A musical representation of the yearning I'd been feeling within. That whatever I was to do with my life, I'd aspire for a moment like what this artist was having, as she sang and played the liltingly decadent chords of the song. That that was my purpose, too. To aspire for something larger. Bigger. To paint at life with broad strokes.
I don't think I'm the only person to have had such a visceral reaction to Sarah McLachlan's music, and I cannot claim empirically, to be her most vocal fan, but it did spawn a decades long obsession with her music, to the point where, I'll admit, I blatantly downloaded every illegally recorded B-side from the days of Napster, to purchasing posters of her artwork to joining her fan club, at an age when I should've outgrown fandom! I was a woman possessed.
Sarah's talent is unquestionable and her skill with the acoustic guitar and piano profound, but it is possibly the wisdom she exudes, with her every musical composition, that speaks of a patience and clarity hard to find in today's break-neck pace of life, where immediate gratification is the name of the game. We don't let music simply simmer in our senses, anymore. We don't wait for it to build to a crescendo of sonorous epiphanies. We want that fix, right now.
I won't write too much about her discography, which is easily available upon a quick Google search, but I would like to explore why she'd had such a profound impact upon the life of a very unhappy teenager in south India. For, I was transfixed. I introduced all of my friends to her music. I could listen to one song on repeat for months! I recall my brother, whose room shared a wall with mine, imploring me to change the track, so there would at least be some variety! I was bathed in existential angst and enormous insecurity about realizing my dreams of going to medical school, but something about the way she approached her music gave me tools with which to approach life. Challenges. Her music was frankly, my best friend, during some lonely undergraduate years, but such was the impact it'd had on me, it made the solitude of those times immanently bearable. Music really can heal and break barriers and provide a seminal catharsis for the soul. She taught me that.
Sarah also, taught me to believe in my instincts and trust that voice within. I never gave up on my med school dreams, until holding on proved to be harmful. People might not agree with that kind of doggedness, but it has translated to positive outlets in other avenues, and I'm pursing them with passion, which is all I've ever yearned for: To lead a fully-sentient life, without getting singed by the flames. It is possible. We will all carry some damage with us, and that's okay. I've learned to be more compassionate toward myself, including the scars I bear, and move forward with as much grace as I can muster, knowing all I can do is try my best. If Sarah has taught me about being passionate, she has equally, taught me about being compassionate.
Sarah is most famous for her iconic ballad, Angel, but I'd discovered her much before the release of this song, which would be on her fourth studio album, Surfacing. Though Angel has become a global anthem for loss and redemption, I think her greatest genius lies in her mid-tempo works, from Possession, to Drawn to the Rhythm, to Building a Mystery, the list goes on and on, of songs that touch upon an artistic maturity and melodic integrity that's hard to describe yet easy to ascribe to her genius. And they serve as a backdrop for her omniscient and dulcet voice that, in an instant, can oscillate between a gossamer whisper to a towering crescendo.
I'll freely admit, I would read up on whatever I could about Sarah back then, but the truth is, being far away in India, I wasn't so much interested in gleaning information as trying to understand how she became who she is, an artist who commands respect. I do recall an interview where she was asked if luck had played a big role in her career. She said, and I paraphrase, that while she'd got a dream start in the recording industry, it is her strong work ethic that has sustained her career for over three decades. We all look to people we admire, to learn things from them that might help us grow as individuals. From Sarah, I've learned that there is no substitute for putting in the hours, and there's no replacement for compassion. She exudes compassion in her work, and by setting up music schools for underprivileged children in Canada as well as supporting numerous non-profit causes over thirty years, she walks the talk silently, without self-aggrandizing, and sets an example in the clear light of day, for any of the youth willing to listen, to really listen, and realize that the melodies in life to be most savored come much before the note is actually played. A lot goes into a life deeply, unflinchingly lived.
I really hope she puts out an album, soon. In these terribly trying times, when the world is mired in one existential crises after another, we need the superlative compassion of such voices that have seen the darkest dawns and have arisen and soared far above their immediate spaces, to leave an indelible mark on the world. We need you to sing the world into place, Sarah.

Homicidal (1961) William Castle
Miriam Webster breezes into a new town and makes herself noticed. Apart from being a striking blonde, she books a double room at a hotel while making it known she's single, flirts with the bellboy and asks him if he's married, then gets changed while he gets ice. She offers him a two thousand dollar tip for a bizarre plan. She wants him to pick her up at midnight on a specific date, so they can get married and then annul the ceremony. He plays ball, knowing that there's something strange in the request, never expecting that she'll murder the justice of the peace in cold blood the moment after he completes the ceremony.
We follow her home to a very cool house where we soon discover that she's not who we thought, given that the real Miriam Webster comes to visit. She's really Emily, the nurse of Helga Swenson, an old mute woman in a wheelchair who communicates by rapping on the wooden frame of her chair. She's obviously looney tunes but there's obviously some serious method to her madness. Our story is there to answer all these questions, and while it isn't too difficult to work it out ahead of the disclosures, it's done very nicely indeed and is deliciously twisted. Also even with the knowledge of what's going on, it's still notably tense as we try to guess how it's all going to play out.
The cast is varied. 'Jean Arless', better known as Joan Marshall, is superb and very beautiful in a difficult role. I haven't seen her before, but she seems fascinating. Beyond her quirky work here, she was apparently cast as Phoebe Munster, and appeared in the initial pilot that was shown only to network execs, before being replaced by Yvonne de Carlo as the renamed Lily Munster, given that Phoebe was apparently too close to Morticia Addams. She later married director Hal Ashby, who purportedly used her as the real life inspiration for his film Shampoo.
On the other hand, the nominal leads fall flat. Patricia Breslin isn't bad as Miriam Webster, but she's easily forgettable. Leading man Glenn Corbett is a striking cross between Chester Morris and Tony Curtis, but is far less charismatic than say Robby the Robot. He's just a cardboard cutout of an actor, so it's no wonder that he ended up as a regular on Dallas. Stage actress Eugenie Leontovich is great as the mute invalid Helga but she doesn't get a huge amount of screen time.
And of course it's a William Castle movie, so there's bound to be something odd going on, courtesy of the god of gimmicks. This time round there's a hokey on screen introduction from the man himself and a 45 second fright break shortly before the end that involves an actual on screen clock counting down while those audience members who couldn't take the strain could leave for a coward's corner somewhere in the auditorium where they couldn't see the screen.

QUICKIE REVIEW: "The Suicide Squad" (2021)
Posted on August 6, 2021 by Michael Cook
James Gunn's The Suicide Squad delivers exactly what it promises: an enjoyably over-the-top, bloody, and funny adventure. It's exactly what you'd expect to get when you give a former Troma director a bunch of money and free reign to make whatever he wants. And, in that regard, the film is very successful. Though, if you're not a fan of films that push the boundaries of what's tasteful as far as possible, this might not be for you. Like, I'm dead serious. A lot of this movie pushes the boundaries on what's funny and what's in good taste. Intentionally, I might add. It feels like Gunn is purposely aiming for that borderline offensive territory. Mostly, however, I think the movie works pretty well. But there are definitely some super questionable moments. Particularly with a fair amount of the film's humor and some of the plot/character beats.
The story is pretty simplistic, but it works for what it's going for. The Suicide Squad is sent to Corto Maltese on a mission to destroy an old Nazi-era prison and all evidence of an experimental program called "Project Starfish." And, naturally, shenanigans ensue. The plot's basically just an excuse to get the team in as many action sequences as possible. And, again, that's totally what this movie was going for and it works pretty well. Everything moves at a brisk pace, so there's never a dull moment. It's not hard to predict what's going on—especially when it comes to the big "Project Starfish" reveal towards the end of the movie. Like, of course, that's where this all was going to end up. But you don't care much because the movie is just so much fun that you're happy to be along for the ride. At its heart, The Suicide Squad is a big, dumb action movie. And it accomplishes that very well.
Everybody's gonna be talking about The Suicide Squad's action sequences. And there are a lot of them—and they're all pretty damn bloody. However much gore you were expecting going into this, take that number and multiply it by at least five. I mean, there are genuinely some moments that are kind of gross to witness. And these moments are present from as early as the first ten minutes, where an extended action sequence sees a number of characters quite literally blown to smithereens. However, as a fan of super gory, over-the-top action sequences, The Suicide Squad hit the spot perfectly. There are the requisite very bloody gunshot sequences and decapitations and whatnot. But there's also some creative stuff here, particularly in the film's climax. And it's worth pointing out that the entirety of said climax takes place in broad daylight. Meaning the audience can see everything that's happening. And boy, is it fun. I mean, it's as if The Suicide Squad wandered into a Godzilla movie. Absolutely delightful.
I'm not sure how fans of the comics are gonna feel about a lot of these characters. Gunn certainly made some choices here, but I don't know exactly how comics-accurate they are. To be honest, I don't care a whole lot since what Gunn did do is pretty enjoyable as it is. The cast of characters is enormous—honestly, there's a fair argument to be made that there are simply too many characters here. Even when the movie prunes a bunch of them, as Gunn promised would be the case. But the vast majority of these characters are pretty well-rounded, even if they're a bit stereotypical. Some of them, like Peter Capaldi's The Thinker, I could've stood spending a lot more time with. Capaldi basically steals the few scenes he's in with his trademark The Thick of It sarcasm, and it's amazing. While others, like John Cena's Peacemaker, I could've stood spending a lot less time with. (I get what Gunn and Cena were aiming for with Peacemaker, but I just found him too insufferable to tolerate.)
My personal favorites are Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Daniela Melchior's Ratcatcher 2, and Sylvester Stallone's King Shark. Daniela Melchior is great as Ratcatcher 2. Her powers are cool and her relationship with Idris Elba's Bloodsport is quite sweet. This Harley Quinn doesn't feel much like the Harley in Birds of Prey or 2016's Suicide Squad. But the Harley in Birds of Prey also didn't feel much like the Harley in 2016's Suicide Squad, so I guess that's just tradition now. She's still a lot of fun here. Fans of the animated Harley Quinn show may be dismayed that this King Shark is nothing like the one on that show, but he's so good in this movie. He's essentially a himbo and I love him with all of my heart.
The Suicide Squad is certainly not a perfect movie. At times, I'm not even sure I liked it. A lot of the humor didn't land super well with me. And I didn't like some of the characters (looking at you John Cena's Peacemaker, and several minor characters who appear briefly in the first ten minutes of the movie). But when the movie works, it works very well. I went into this hoping for something that would be fun, enjoyable, and filled with a lot of cool action sequences. And that's exactly what I got. I had a great time watching the movie, and I'd gladly do so again despite all of its problems. It's not a movie that's gonna be for everyone, and I totally understand those who feel like it's just too offensive, too gory, too whatever. But I have a soft spot for movies like this, and I had a lot of fun with this one.

The efficiency of your commercial refrigeration system depends on several factors. Perhaps the most vital element when it comes to a cold, energy-efficient unit is the state of the evaporator. The evaporator helps reduce moisture and is a key part of transferring heat out of the unit. Luckily, you can easily check and clean your evaporator with a few basic tools. This article explains how to do this for commercial refrigeration systems.
First, you need to locate the evaporator. It is usually behind a removable panel along the backside of the refrigerator. You have to access it from the inside of the refrigerator, meaning you will need to remove all of the items from the refrigerator before you work on it. Make sure you plan ahead so you don't have to waste all of your perishable foods. Most panels can be popped right off with a flathead screwdriver. On some older units, you might actually need to remove a couple of screws.
Once you remove the panel, you should be able to easily see the evaporator. It is an A-shaped element and is lined with copper coils. Most importantly, you need to make sure there is no dust or dirt in between the coils. You might need to wait for the evaporator to defrost before you can clean it out. A hose vacuum equipped with a brush attachment can usually get the job done. However, you might need to actually wipe it down with a damp rag. Also, you can use a toothbrush to scrub in between the individual coils. With dust and dirt off of the copper, heat transfer will be faster and more effective.
Finally, you need to replace the access panel. Clean both sides of the vented panel before putting it back in place. You should also wipe down the walls of the evaporator compartment. Any dust inside this compartment can quickly get blown onto the evaporator. This will quickly reverse all the work you just did.
This simple DIY cleaning not only improves the energy efficiency of your unit, it will also help make the unit last longer. By putting less stress on the motor, a clean evaporator will definitely increase the lifespan of your refrigerator. Since this is a simple job that doesn't require any special tools or training, you should get it done as soon as possible.
Talk to a company such as Pro-Tech Equipment Service for more ideas.

I started focusing heavily on doing my research and finding the best brands, and it really paid off. I was able to find incredible appliances that I really enjoyed without having to worry about them breaking down prematurely. To give myself an added layer of protection, I also added an appliance protection plan that covered most everything. This blog is all about finding the right appliances and adding coverage to them so that you don't have to worry. By making the right choices regarding appliances, you won't regret your decisions.

Passengers must also fly to Vienna on a BA operated flight for the connection to Austrian Airlines and fly between Saturday 5 May 2018 and Saturday 29 September 2018.
This also only applies to passengers who have paid for a cash ticket. If you have booked a flight using Avios your flight will be refunded.
It is quite common for BA to announce more rebooking options in the weeks after a route is cancelled. Therefore, if the above options are not satisfactory it is worth waiting a week or so to see if any alternatives emerge.

Mr Frederick Charles Marsh was born in Millbrook, Hampshire, England on 6 June 1872.
He was the son of George Marsh (b. 1834 in Nursling, Hampshire) and Ellen Foyle (b. 1835 in Salisbury, Wiltshire); his father worked as a labourer at different times on the docks and in the agricultural sector.
Frederick had six known siblings: James (b. 1857), Emily (b. 1860), Annie (b. 1863), Robert (b. 1867), Caroline (b. 1869) and Ernest (b. 1880).
Frederick first appears on the 1881 census, by which time he and his family were living at 2 Millbrook Cottages, Millbrook Road, Millbrook, Hampshire. They are living at 13 Sir George's Road, Freemantle by the time of the 1891 census and Frederick is now described as a baker and aged 19. His days as a baker at an end, he was still listed with his now widowed mother on the 1901 census as a ship's fireman. They were, at the time, living at 5 Back of Walls, All Saints, Southampton and he would live on this street for the rest of his life.
Frederick was married in Southampton in 1902 to Alice Ada West (b. 1870 in Woolston, Hampshire, daughter of Henry West and Harriet Jane Spencer) but the couple would have no children. By the time of the 1911 census Alice was listed alone at 5 Upper Back of Walls, All Saints whilst Frederick was listed elsewhere as a fireman on board the RMS Danube, then docked at Southampton.
When he signed on to the Titanic, in Southampton on 6 April 1912, Marsh gave his address as 5 Back of Walls, Southampton. His previous ship had been the Oruba and as a fireman he could expect monthly wages of £6.
Marsh was lost in the sinking. His body was recovered by the Mackay-Bennett and was buried at Fairview Cemetary, Halifax, Nova Scotia on 8 May 1912.
NO. 268 - MALE - ESTIMATED AGE, 55 - HAIR, BLACK: MOUSTACHE AND BEARD, GREY.
His widow Alice never remarried and remained in Southampton where she died in 1943.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the impact of higher oil prices on Indias gross domestic product may not be all that much this year and the next. Indias terms-of-trade loss as a percent of GDP over 2018-2019 at 0.18%, much lower than the 1.5% loss seen in 2017. The loss, of course, is due to a rise in oil prices. Conversely, when oil prices fell in 2015 and 2016, India had large windfall gains of around 4% of GDP. IMF estimates dated Brent crude oil price to average $64.6 a barrel for 2018, up 19% over 2017.
The European Central Bank is set to keep policy unchanged. Playing down worries over recent softness in the eurozone economy and leaving the door open to ending its lavish bond purchase scheme by the close of the year. Having tweaked its guidance last month to reflect solid growth, the ECB will probably argue that the economy is humming along and that the exceptional readings seen around the turn of the year were always unlikely to be sustained, economists said.

'Kotagiri, Tamil Nadu's best-kept secret, lies only a stone's throw away from the popular tourist havens of Ootacamund and Coonoor. This beautiful hill station offers visitors sweeping views of the state's valleys coupled with the stunning Nilgiri mountains, says Rashmi Gopal Rao'
Colonial Connection
According to history, two British officers discovered Kotagiri back in 1819 while they were exploring the Nilgiris. The hill station has an. ntrinsic connection with John Sullivan, who is credited with discovering the hill station of Ooty. It was in 1819 that this British collector visited Kotagiri and built a two-storeyed house called the Pethakal Bungalow at Kannerimukku village. In that sense, Sullivan was the first European to have his residence here. An ardent supporter of the tribal and the local communities, he was and till day continues to be a highly-revered personality in the entire region. Today, this historic bungalow has been impeccably restored and is called the Sullivan Memorial. The brick red and white facade of the building is replete with colonial style architectural elements that include arches, high ceilings and domes. It is open to visitors and houses a treasure trove of information in the form of rare photographs, newspaper cuttings and artefacts related to John Sullivan as well as the history, growth and development of Kotagiri and the Nilgiri region in general.
Kotagiri, one of the Nilgiri's oldest hill stations, is surrounded by sprawling tea estates and waterfalls, and paints a mystical picture set against the green walls of the Nilgiris.
The bungalow also houses very valuable information related to the tribes of the region, mainly the Todas, Badagas, Irulas, Kotas and Kurumbas. Many exclusive pictures that are showcased, display the traditions of these tribes including their festivals, dances and other customs. The building is also highly significant as it is home to the Nilgiri Documentation Centre, a premier organisation that works towards preserving the regions' natural beauty and tribal heritage. Apart from the Sullivan Memorial, St Luke's Church is another symbol of majestic colonial beauty. Standing tall, this church, with its red brick portico that envelopes the entire exterior, is a landmark structure and a sight not to be missed. Kotagiri, one of the Nilgiri's oldest hill stations, is surrounded by sprawling tea estates and waterfalls, and paints a mystical picture set against the green walls of the Nilgiris. Nothing is more rejuvenating than a holiday in the hills amidst the crisp mountain air and lush greenery, far away from the urban humdrum and chaos of city life. And, if you're looking for a destination that is relatively undiscovered by even avid travellers, Kotagiri in the southern state of Tamil Nadu is a good bet. Located close to the more crowded and perhaps more 'touristy' hill stations of Ootacamund (popularly called Ooty) and Coonoor, Kotagiri too is nestled in the midst of the blue mountains ranges of the Nilgiris. In fact, Kotagiri is the oldest and third-largest hill station of the Nilgiris and is located 30 and 20 km (approximately) from Ooty and Coonoor, respectively.
Nature's Paradise
The name of this quaint hill station that is perched at an altitude of close to 1,950 m above sea level translates to "the mountains of the Kotas". Incidentally, the Kotas are one of the main indigenous tribes who inhabit the Nilgiris. Kotagiri is a region of expansive green landscapes and lush tea gardens. It is privy to several spectacular vistas of seemingly unending mountain ranges. Like Kotagiri, Ooty too boasts quaint settings with small huts surrounded by tall trees, meandering streams and green mountains
Surrounded by the evergreen Shola forests, known for their biodiversity, this small hill station is dotted with several waterfalls and pristine meadows. It is little wonder that this striking hill station is a favourite with hikers and trekkers alike. With multiple trekking trails, Kotagiri is an idyllic and rejuvenating retreat.
Kotagiri At a Glance
Just 16 km from Kotagiri is the resplendent Catherine Falls, a popular haunt with tourists. Said to have been named after a British coffee planter's wife, the falls cascading in all their glory from a height of 250 ft are a sight to behold. Located around eight km from Kotagiri, the falls are accessible by a small trek, and the dense cover of greenery all around makes it a memorable outing. Elk Falls is another picturesque waterfall near Kotagiri.
Catherine Falls is one of the highest of its kind in the state.
Located about 18 km from Kotagiri, the expansive Kodanad Estate, known to produce some of the premium quality tea in the region, is another point of interest. The drive to Kodanad is as thrilling as it is splendid, with cloud-kissed tea estates dominating the landscape and the prettiest of flowers lining the streets. Close to the estate is a vantage point, which offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding natural beauty. Rangaswamy Hill, home to the holy temple of Lord Rangaswamy, is also a frequentlyvisited spot about 20 km from Kotagiri. The hill has high religious and spiritual significance, and is revered by the Irula tribal community.
Trekker's Delight
Although Kotagiri is small in area, there are a handful of scenic trekking trails that are much loved by novice and seasoned adventurers alike. The panoramic hike to the Catherine Falls is one of the most sought-after one here. The road to the falls passes through a peak resembling adolphin's nose, pine forests and aromatic tea gardens. From the base of the towering falls emerge a number of hiking trails that lead to the nearby Longwood shola forest. Another trail leading to Kodanad goes through a lush green meadow, tea estates and the Moyar river. There are a few travel companies that curate such trekking experiences but if you wish, you can explore these tracks on your own, with a little help from the friendly locals. John Sullivan's memorial
