Some things, such as aging, are unavoidable in life. However, many other unpleasant aspects of our daily lives seem unavoidable only because the right technology isn't quite available yet. This includes slow internet connections during storms, "low battery" notifications on our smartphones, and a sip of uncomfortably warm water after a run.
Heat radiates and spreads, which is why your water bottle and coffee mugs will always tend towards the wrong temperature. But insulation technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last decades. Even better, over the last couple of years, the cost of these technologies has become accessible enough to leave industrial settings and reach retail aisles.
Vacuum insulated is one of these modern day wonders. These water bottles are the most effective way to ensure your drinks all stay at the temperature you want them to for as long as realistically possible.
Some of us live permanently on a rush, which means that dexterity and delicacy are left a bit lower on our priority list. While there is nothing to be done around China or mirrors, it would be a good idea to keep your water bottle out of the ever-growing list of fragile items you need to be careful about.
S'well must have people who understand this working for them because their Basic Insulated water bottle is basically sturdy. Yet, with a weight of only 11 ounces, this remains a light and easy to carry option. Its double layer of high-grade steel is combined with a BPA-free twist cap, which is wide enough for you to fit ice cubes through it, but not noticeably larger than most single-use plastic bottles.
It keeps 17 ounces of cold drinks chilled for up to 24 hours and hot ones hot for up to 12 hours. It comes in a very large variety of colors and designs (many are seasonal or limited-edition), so the chances are that nobody in your spinning class will have the exact same bottle.
German manufacturer Thermos was the first to invent vacuum-insulated products back in the Mad Men era. Theirs are the first brick-like models, and the word Thermos is still synonymous with warm coffee in many parts of the world.
It should not be a surprise, then, that they have expanded their line enough to tackle the portable bottle market. This 18-ounce bottle is sleek and elegant and will keep your water chilled for the day. It is fully dishwasher-safe and equipped with a very handy button-powered lid that turns taking a quick sip into a breeze, even while driving or multitasking.
Don't worry about ruining your paperwork around this bottle. It will leave no condensation or wet rings behind.
This wide-mouth model is one of the most versatile ones out there. Although it doesn't keep hot liquids for as long as other options on this list, the Klean Kanteen's astonishing performance with cold liquids has earned it a well-deserved place among the very best.
The twist-open cap is easy to use and provides a wide enough opening for you to fit in any sort of cold drink, not just water. From frappe coffee to smoothies and slushies, rest assured that the Klean Kanteen will keep them well chilled the entire day and will be easy to wash once you come back home.
This bottle is also remarkably shock-resistant, so you won't ruin the insulation by dropping it a couple of times. It can carry up to 20 ounces and comes in four different vibrant colors.
You may have never thought of a water bottle as a luxury item or a design statement, but Snow Peak makes a good case for both with their Kanpai vacuum-insulated water bottle.
Boy, this is a pretty model – equally classy in dark silver, pearl white, and wine red. They have tried to make the Rolex of water bottles, and it seems they have succeeded. Where most water bottles keep hot drinks reasonably hot for 10 to 12 hours, the Kanpai will keep them at the exact same temperature for 6 – and then you can begin counting an extra 12 hours in a comfortable, tasty temperature. Cold fluids, on the other hand, will remain cold past the 40-hour mark.
How did they accomplish this? This bottle comes with separate cold and hot lids. Specialization is the best route to efficiency, after all. The cold liquids lid is equipped with an internal gel pack, which can be frozen before use.
If you are looking for a wide-mouthed option that performs well with both hot and cold liquids, then Takeya's flask may be a worthy investment.
This option sits comfortably midway between a sports bottle and a travel mug. A hard plastic hinge-lock with a holding ring makes it convenient and easy to carry during a demanding exercise session or a long trek.
Its food-grade materials include two premium steel layers and BPA-free details. It will keep ice-cold beverages for up to 24 hours, and piping hot ones for up to 12 hours. The 24-ounce model is slim and light, but you can still put ice cubes inside without any major hassle. The bottle is available in steel, graphite, navy blue, orchid pink, bright red, black, and white finishes. Like all Takeya products, it comes with a lifetime warranty.
William Stanley is almost mythical to trail and trek fans and many who grew up with a love of camping. Their latest iteration of one of their signature products keeps things simple and design traditional. It is made from superb 18/8 stainless steel, a very resistant cover, and features three different camo-compatible color schemes.
This dishwasher-safe bottle won't rust and is BPA-free, so don't hesitate to let your kids sip from it (although you may want to warn them about the contents first). Thanks to its two-stage lid, it can be opened and closed back fairly easily and will keep warm or chilled liquids for up to 8 hours, and iced drinks for up to 28.
Like any brand that knows what they are doing, Stanley Williams is not afraid to stand behind its products, which is why this flask comes with a lifetime warranty.
Oregon-based Hydro Flask is one of the most reputable brands for sports apparel, despite being relatively new to the market. Their jumping man logo is now synonymous with sturdy and stylish products, and you have likely spotted it already around your local gym.
This vacuum-insulated bottle uses the brand's patented TempShield technology, which guarantees cold drinks will remain cool for up to 24 hours while keeping your coffee or tea hot for up to 6. The tight-lid cap is easy to close, leak-free, and bump-resistant. You would have to be really trying if you wanted to break it or spill out the contents. For additional ease while on the move, it hides a practical, easy-to-clean plastic straw that will keep its shape for years.
The bottle hides its layers of insulated metal behind a powder coat that makes gripping it easier and provides vibrant and bright color options, ranging from white to hot pink with anything from mint, turquoise, and silver in between.
A reusable and insulated water bottle is already doing a lot for the environment as it is keeping yet another single-use piece of plastic from floating in the oceans for the next 2,000 years.
If you are seriously committed to making this world a little bit better, consider this vacuum-insulated model by MIIR. In addition to superb insulation (up to 12 hours for hot liquids and over 24 hours for cold ones), a cut of the profits goes to installing new wells in areas that have no access to clean water. As a brand, MIIR wants to keep its operations as transparent as possible, which is why they include the coordinates and photo evidence of the well you are helping to build as part of the package.
When it comes to the bottle itself, this model doesn't disappoint, either. Easy to grip and shock-resistant, the cap is wide enough for you to pour in ice or thick juices, but you will also be able to chug easily without anything dripping down your neck.
Bright colors and polished metal finishes are great while in the city, but any trekker or hunter worth their salt can list the reasons why they are not the best choice when facing the Great Outdoors.
Thinking of such a picky, quality-conscious demographic, AVEX has designed a Real Tree Camo insulated bottle. Every detail of this product has been especially thought out with convenience and discretion in mind. The push-button top offers no problems for those who need to take a quick, stealthy sip using just one hand, and yet it remains fully leak and spill-proof.
Also, the slight curve of the design makes for an easy grip without making it difficult to wash. The bottle will also remain sweat-free, even in very hot and humid environments.
This bottle weighs only 13 ounces but can carry up to 24 ounces of your favorite chilled drink and keep it cold for over 20 hours. Although not advertised for hot fluids, it performs remarkably well in that department as well.
As a brand, Under Armour is not usually linked to drinking or comfort. Their business is fitness and performance. Naturally, this means they had to hit the water bottle market at some point. After all, what is a strenuous gym session without hydration? A medical emergency waiting to happen.
This is one of the best cold-water bottles out there and will keep any chilled liquids cold for over 12 hours. While the flip-top lid provides a narrow entry, perfect to take a sip without slowing you down, just twist it off if you need to pour a thicker protein shake inside.
Another remarkable feature of the Dominate is its silicon grip gauntlet, which will make it easy to grip without providing any inside ridges that could jeopardize hygiene.
While eternal ice remains restricted to your ex's heart, a 36-hour-long chill is still a more than acceptable performance for a thermic water bottle. The Thermo Tank has a capacity for 17 ounces of your favorite chilled drink. Although the double layers of stainless steel make this bottle a bit heavy, it is still slim enough to wrap your fingers around it while you run.
The twist-off cap is simple to open and close, taking out a lot of the guesswork out of it. Have you ever had to hold a bottle upside down to see if it leaks, just to "test" that you closed it properly? Inconvenient as that is, a slightly open bottle would also jeopardize insulation, which is why the Thermo Tank went to great lengths to keep this from ever happening.
Shock and even throw-resistant, the Thermo Tank comes in five different colors.
Solid and eco-friendly, manufacturer Mira has created a beautiful and resilient model that still manages to be affordable and to give back to the community.
They are committed to providing clean water to communities across the Americas and to reducing the culture of use-and-toss plastic that currently surrounds us. Everything in their water bottle, from the packaging to its insulating layers of steel, has been designed with these ideals and functionality in mind.
Their bottle is available in three different sizes: 9 ounces, 17 ounces, and 24 ounces. They come in a variety of colors of quickly-changing availability. So, if you see the unique pattern of your dreams, grab it fast!
Most insulated water bottles provide us with enough hydration for a long jog or a full-on workout. So, what happens during those long treks where you need to ensure you will have a lasting supply of glacier-cold fluids?
You could buy several 14-ounce bottles, or you could take this great adventure-size bottle for a ride. The Coldest Water has not hesitated to place a bold claim as part of their branding, and they are willing to stand behind it.
This growler will allow you to drink quickly without spilling and can be carried easily, thanks to its strong, heavy-duty handle. If you ever need to put something other than water inside, its BPA-free inner coating is odor-resistant and should serve you right.
Beautiful and practical, the Yeti Rambler performs well with hot and cold fluids alike. This bottle has a double-wall vacuum-insulated construction made entirely from eco-friendly steel on the inside, but with several added power-ups on the outside to maximize its usability and resilience.
First, the cap: leak-proof and solid, it provides a comfortable grip for three fingers and prevents spilling, leaking, and sweating while remaining easy to twist off and back on. Second, the bottle's straight design fits any cup holder and makes the bottle easy to clean and sanitize. Finally, the DuraCoat Color coating comes in a variety of combinations, ranging from chic to cute to rugged and won't crack or peel off.
Think of your standard paper coffee cup. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the steaming coffee you buy right after leaving the house will be lukewarm by the time you're ready to take the last sip and downright unpleasant if you take an hour or more to finish it.
This happens because heat tends to transfer until it reaches a stable, uniform temperature – making your coffee the same temperature as your air-conditioned car or office. This happens through three mechanisms: conduction (which happens when things touch directly), convection (which is when heat transfers through a moving gas or liquid), and radiation (the process by which hot objects emit light or heat even through empty spaces).
Vacuum insulation can stop (or, at least, dramatically slow down) all three processes. It achieves this through two main features: a tight, airproof lid and a double layer of insulating metal, with a void in between.
Vacuum insulation is no new discovery as it has been available for decades in bulky and heavy coffee flasks. While these are often carried to picnics and on long hikes, they have usually been too much of a hassle for your morning brew and way too heavy for you to drag along them while jogging.
What Makes a Good Insulated Water Bottle Superb?
To compile this list, we have sought out and tested a variety of water bottles and portable flasks to ensure that we can provide you with a list of the very best that the online marketplace has to offer.
The first and most important factor we tested was actual insulation. It may sound obvious, but not everything that shines is gold. And many online sales offer "vacuum insulated" bottles that are little better than liquor flasks. We also looked at size and weight. Double layers of metal can be heavy if constructed out of cheap alloys, but a good portable bottle should be light and able to fit in your car's cup holder.
We also gave extra points for resilience (because a broken container is no good to anyone), ease of use (especially for the bottle cap, which should be easy to open and close properly), and design (because we like style and are not ashamed of it).

We found this beautiful little church on our first bike ride.
We were really excited heading in to our first work exchange experience. We left Copenhagen in the morning on a train, headed to the south of Denmark. We weren't sure what to expect. We were going to a winery for a week and had hoped to participate in a harvest and learn a bit about the wine making process. Our host did let us know that unfortunately there was no harvest this year – it had been too cool and rainy. But there would be other work for us. And hey – we were headed to an island in Denmark…. how bad could it be?
Getting there was quite a process. We took a train, then another train, then a bus and then a ferry…..and our host picked us up and took us to his home in a car. He gave us a quick tour of the island. It is filled with fruit – acres and acres of beautiful fruit…apples, plums, figs and berries that are absolutely succulent and delicious. About 450 people live on the island and there is one church and one little grocery store.
Our accommodations were in a small trailer around the corner from the house. It was probably 40 years old or so and had 1 electrical outlet that was jerry-rigged. The family has free-range chickens and geese, with all that that implies. The birds liked to go up on the table outside or gather in the walkway leading to the door to the house. They did what chickens and geese regularly do…..We used the bathroom facilities and internet in the main house and our host said that we should make ourselves at home while we were there. They were truly as nice as they could be -- husband and wife and 2 daughters in 6th grade and 1st grade.
We went out on bikes to explore the island. The beautifully kept church is right by the sea. We visited a little harbor and got a feel for our surroundings. They fed us a great dinner and we settled into the tiny trailer for the night, waiting to see what our work would be the next day.
The first things we got to do was to walk the dog. Then Greg started helping put siding on a renovation of a sunroom into a bedroom. He used a handsaw to cut the wood and screws to fasten the pieces to the wall. Life on the island is simple. When Greg asked about tools he was told that electric tools weren't really needed for a job this small – you save time but then you've spent a lot of money and have extra time on your hands. If you need lumber or nails or tools from the hardware store, you have to go to the mainland to get it.
I got to go to their orchard and pick plums, which was great. It is very meditative work and if you get hungry, you can just eat a plum! It was a lovely day and the plums were absolutely delicious. There's nothing like eating ripe fruit right off the tree. Some of the plums were too high for me to get so I stacked fruit crates together and stood on them to reach as high as I could. I didn't have a ladder.
In the afternoon, I painted the ceiling in the addition until I ran out of paint. They would have to go to the mainland to get more paint to finish the ceiling. We took another bike ride after we were done with our work for the day. Our hosts invited some musician friends over for dinner who were on the island picking fruit as it apparently pays reasonably well, for fruit picking. They were from Italy, Spain and Greece. It was a very international table and they are interesting people.
I was thankful for the painting suit!
The next day I walked the dog and pitted all the plums I had picked the day before and did some painting outside. Greg continued work on the renovation but really wished that he had different tools. We figured out how to download House of Cards onto our phone and watched an episode in the trailer before we went to sleep. The next day it rained, which made it hard to do outside work. We did what we could and then ended up in the living room of our host's house, working on the computer. The day we arrived, they had slaughtered a goose and on this night, which turned out to be our last, they served it for dinner. We downloaded 3 episodes of House of Cards and watched them in the trailer during a giant storm that caused them to stop the ferry for the evening.
We didn't feel like we were contributing as much as we wanted and the rain made it even harder. Our hosts were as nice as they could be but our accommodations were not what we expected. We anticipated modest sleeping and bathroom conditions and don't require much, but it became uncomfortable after a few days. We wondered if it was a cultural thing. We asked ourselves if we are just too accustomed to cleanliness or if that a reasonable expectation. We really wanted to learn about wine and that just wasn't in the cards on this occasion. Our hosts were very very nice -- they even baked us fresh, delicious bread on more than one occasion -- but we decided that we would cut our time on the island short and head back to Copenhagen to see Chelsea and Sam. It was a very interesting first work exchange experience. It gave us a lot to think about as we move forward in this way of life. It will be interesting to see how things go from here……stay tuned.
The best way to keep up with us is to share your name and email address below. We'll send you an email letting you know when a new blog had been posted.
Thank you so much for following our adventures by signing up for our blog!


...did you know that Flash Gordon's nemesis, Ming the Merciless, was an ancient Chinese ruler? I discovered that little-known fact while doing some research for this video. Some old episodes of Flash Gordon are available on YouTube; I used scenes from one to create this chapter of my trip DVD. You'll also notice little touches like substituting a movie poster for an Angelina Jolie movie for the name of the mausoleum -- "Changling". And R&B legend James Brown is the resident artist at the site's "Soul Tower".
Frankly, we were underwhelmed by this tourist attraction. But I really like the video! If you want a good laugh, check out the helmets worn by Ming's guards at 01:18. Also notice that the pink hat gag from the Summer Palace chapter reappears at 1:30.
Use video unrelated to your trip to create an entertaining chapter.
Use running gags to surprise your viewers and provide continuity between chapters.
If the chapters are posted separately on the Internet, a viewer who watches only this chapter will be confused by the running gag. "Whats with this pink hat?" ... you might consider a special YouTube cut that omits the running gag.
Be careful when disrespecting a nations treasures. My work is intended to be light-hearted, inoffensive, and humorous.
This original audience for this video was friends and family who would view the DVD in my living room. It contains identifiable video and music that is regrettably used without permission.

Which invader got through the Great Wall of China? We had no idea. And what does that have to do with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? Our lack of knowledge was obvious during this conversation which was recorded as we walked on the wall on May 1, 2001.
It's a decent 46 seconds. The live video portion is inconsequential, but there's a conversation going on that was worth remembering. (It's original and witty enough to provide material for the writers of a snarky television show like Community.) I used some simple graphic overlays to emphasize what we were talking about.
Hey, if it's short and it's funny, it probably earned the right to be in your video!
It's great to be an editor. We can can alter space and time!
Let's assume we wanted to use this dialog, but not extend the length of the program. This sound could be placed under other scenes of the Great Wall.
Or we could set up an event that never happened. Find video footage of the tour guide explaining something, then make it look like we posed these stupid questions to her.
... or ... do you have another idea?
It's the first day of May, 2001. In the Peoples' Republic of China, that's the Workers' Holiday. Vacationers from throughout the country make a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to their capital city, and complete an emotional climb on their Great Wall.
Our tour guide suggested an early start to beat the crowds; the bus left the hotel at 7:00AM! It was an exciting day for us too, but we had no expectations regarding the exciting buzz created by the domestic tourists. We were first to arrive, enjoying an almost solitary walk along the wall. Vendors were just opening; guards were just waking up. But walking back we met excited crowds of early-arrival families -- adults and kids -- making their pilgrimage. Hence the music selection: Pilgrim performed by Enya.
I always enjoy this video. The clip placement and cuts were instinctive and work well. The story unfolds in a logical manner: Approaching the wall; Our climb upward; Witnessing others' climb. I like the pan of a still photo at 01:01 -- Art is standing high on the wall; pan down to see Linda halfway up the stairs. Enya's music is, of course, inspirational. Unfortunately I do not have a copyright release from her, but perhaps there is a "fair use" here since I posted the video for educational purposes.
Tell a story. Don't forget establishing shots to begin.
It's moving video! Consider the use pan-and-zoom to provide motion when using still shots. That's how director Ken Burns wins Emmy Awards!
My experience with obtaining clearance for the use of commercial music tracks is not good. But you need to consider the ethics if you intend to post your video on the Internet.
Labels: Climb the great wall of China with Enya, Pilgrim! www.henbc.com has tips to add excitement to boring vacation video.
After the Szechuan Restaurant we stumbled into this supermarket, and discovered snakes in the liquor department! Get the BIG snake in a GALLON container, or the baby snake in the pint bottle.
It's somewhat humorous and just 35 seconds. The ZZ Top music almost pulls off the gag.
I'm not sure about this one. For the trip DVD it's short, inoffensive, and a nice memory. Not sure about YouTube ... maybe it could go viral?
This one is a judgement call. Ultimately I decided to include it in the DVD, but if my captives friends were time-constrained it could easily be skipped.
If your software allows you to add chapter marks to video files, use them! If you are playing host, you'll have the ability to skip to the next chapter -- or return to a previous one -- whatever the "public" demands.

Q: Removing values from a 2D array in C++ void Draw() {
int c1;
int x = 59;
int y = 500;
int temp = x;
for (int i = 0; i < 13; ++i){
    for (int j = 0; j < 10; ++j){
        x_coordinates[i][j] = x;
        y_coordinates[i][j] = y;

    c1 = temp_color[i][j];
    DrawRectangle(x, y, 65, 25, colors[c1]);
            x += 67;
        }
        x = temp;
        y -= 28;
}
DrawRectangle(tempx, 0, 85, 12, colors[5]);
DrawCircle(templx, temply, 10, colors[7]);
    }
    // This function will be called automatically by this frequency 1000.0 / FPS
    void Animate() {
        //if (temply < - 10)
        //exit(1);
        Brick_collision(  );
        glutPostRedisplay(); // Once again call the Draw member function
    }
    int Brick_collision(){
    for (int i=0; i<13; ++i){
        for (int j=0; j<10; ++j){
            if (((templx >= x_coordinates[i][j]) && (templx <= x_coordinates[i][j] + 65)) && ((temply + 5 >= y_coordinates[i][j]) && (temply + 5 <= y_coordinates[i][j] + 35  ))){
                vy = -vy;

                temp_color[i][j] = 2;
              //  x_coordinates[i][j] -= 300;
               // y_coordinates[i][j] -= 300;
               // I HAVE USED THESE VALUES BECAUSE NOW THE BRICK WOULD BE OUTSIDE THE SCREEN AND THE BALL WILL NOT COLLIDE WITH IT AGAIN BUT THIS DOESN'T WORK.

                return 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }

I am trying to make a BrickSlayer game using OpenGL. In the Draw() function I am drawing the structure of the game i.e the bricks, pedal and the ball. Now I am storing the x and y co-ordinates of the bricks in a 2-D Array. And In the Animate() function I am calling the function Brick_collision() In which I have applied the condition for the detection of the bricks. As the ball collides with brick I make it invinssible i.e I change its colour to White and also I have to remove its co-ordinates from the 2-D array so the ball does not detect it again. How can I achive this? All the methods that I have used for the removal of co-ordinates have not worked.

A: I think your "Magic Number" solution could work. Just add some logic to your collision detection to look for that magic number specifically and ignore it if it is a match. I.E.:
int Brick_collision(){
    for (int i=0; i<13; ++i){
        for (int j=0; j<10; ++j){
            if (((x_coordinates[i][j] != -300) &&
                 (y_coordinates[i][j] != -300) &&
                 (templx >= x_coordinates[i][j]) &&
                 (templx <= x_coordinates[i][j] + 65)) &&
                ((temply + 5 >= y_coordinates[i][j]) &&
                 (temply + 5 <= y_coordinates[i][j] + 35))){

                vy = -vy;

                temp_color[i][j] = 2;

               // x_coordinates[i][j] -= 300;
               // y_coordinates[i][j] -= 300;
               // I HAVE USED THESE VALUES BECAUSE NOW THE BRICK
               // WOULD BE OUTSIDE THE SCREEN AND THE BALL WILL NOT
               // COLLIDE WITH IT AGAIN BUT THIS DOESN'T WORK.

Good luck!

Former Big League Pitcher Larry Christenson's Huge HOF Autographed Ball Collection Up for Grabs
January 6, 2021 By Rich Mueller
Larry Christenson spent 11 years as a pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies but his collecting career ramped up after his playing days ended. Now, he's putting one of his most impressive collections up for sale.
Christenson's extensive collection of over 120 single-signed baseballs featuring members of the Hall of Fame is among the major attractions in Hunt Auctions' newly launched January Premier Auction.
Among the authenticated baseballs up for grabs are those featuring the signatures of Honus Wagner, Nap Lajoie, Jimmy Foxx, Hugh Duffy and other stars from the distant past. Many of the examples are considered the finest of their type within the hobby with several noted as unique surviving specimens.
"The historically significant collection of Hall of Fame single signed baseballs which Larry has amassed is simply astounding," stated David Hunt, President of Hunt Auctions. "He was well known within the hobby to have carefully curated the collection over time but to see its presentation within one venue is to be noted as a generational opportunity. Given the combination of scarcities, volume, and quality it is highly unlikely that a collection type of its equal will enter the hobby anytime in the near future."

"LC" as he was affectionately known, played his entire eleven-year MLB career with the Philadelphia Phillies after being drafted third in the first round of the 1972 MLB Draft. Christenson was a key member of the late 1970s Phillies NL Championship teams. He's been a member of the organization since his retirement in 1983, supporting numerous on and off the field charitable organizations, including the ALS Association.
Over the course of the last several decades, he worked to build one of the finest collections of its type in the country, purchasing rare and unique examples from various auctions and through private transactions.
"Ever since I was a youngster, I have saved and collected items as a reminder of the great times I had playing all sports," Christenson remarked. "I have plenty of items for my family but it's time to let go of many others for fans to enjoy."
Christenson consigned numerous other items from his collection that are being sold inside of several different catalog sales.
A portion of the proceeds from Christenson's collection will benefit The Masonic Children's Home whose goal is to provide for the maintenance, development, and education of orphaned children.
Highlights from the autographed baseball collection include:
-Hugh Duffy single signed baseball (Est. $15,000-$25,000)
-Frank "Home Run" Baker single signed baseball (Est. $5,000-$10,000)
-Larry Lajoie single signed baseball (Est. $5,000-$10,000)
-Honus Wagner single signed baseball (Est. $10,000-$20,000)
-Tony Lazzeri single signed baseball (Est. $7,500-$15,000)
-Jimmie Foxx single signed baseball (Est. $5,000-$10,000)
-Hack Wilson single signed baseball (Est. $5,000-$7,500)
-Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown single signed baseball (Est. $5,000-$7,500)

Kashmir-(Srinagar – Gulmarg – Pahelgam – Sonemarg)
Srinagar is located in the heart of the Kashmir valley at an altitude of 1,730 m(1530 feet) above sea level, spread on both sides of the river Jhelum. The Dal and Nagin lakes enhance its picturesque setting, while the changing play of the seasons and the salubrious climate ensures that the city is equally attractive to visitors around the year.
The present city of Srinagar was founded by Pravarasena-II, and Hiuen Tsang, who visited Kashmir in 631 AD, found it at the same site as it is today. Laltaditya Muktapida was the most illustrious ruler of Kashmir in the Hindu period, which ended in 1339 AD. King Zain-ul-Abidin (1420-70 AD), popularly known as 'Budshah', was a great patron of Sanskrit. Akbar captured Kashmir valley for the Mughals, who endowed onSrinagar with beautiful mosques and gardens. The Sikhs overthrew the last Muslim ruler in the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1819. In 1846 the Dogras secured the sovereignty of Kashmir from the British under the Treaty of Amritsar.
Gulmarg reinforces its position as a PrimeWinter Destination(2,730 m/56 km) from srinagar. Gulmarg was discovered in the 16th century by Sultan Yusuf Shah, who was inspired by the sight of its grassy slopes emblazoned with wild flowers. It was also a favourite resort of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.
Pahelgam
"Valley of Shepherds" Situated at the confluence of the streams flowing from Sheshnag Lake and the Lidder river, Pahalgam (2,130 m) was once a humble shepherd's village with breathtaking views.
Around Pahalgam are many places of interest, and because the resort is set between fairly steep hills, it is worth hiring a pony rather than walking.
Sonamarg
Sonmarg is situated at a distance of 84 kms from Srinagar, on the Srinagar-Ladakh Road. The drive to Sonamarg is through the SindhValley which presents yet another spectacular facet of countryside in Kashmir. Situated at an altitude of 2730 m, Sonamarg ('The meadow of gold') has, as its backdrop, snowy mountains against a cerulean sky. The SindhRiver that meanders through the valley abounds with trout.

Book Reviews 2.1
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL: PRIORITIES, POLICIES AND THE LAW. By Frank B. Grad, George W. Rathijens & Albert J. Rosenthal. New York: Columbia University Press. 1971. Pp. viii, 311. $9.00.
The surge of interest in the environment has led to the publication of numerous books for conservationists, lawyers and the general public. Most legal works have been general in scope, designed to provide a background in a developing area of law for lawyers (and, occasionally, laymen) who are unacquainted with the field. This volume, comprised of three related papers dealing with federal environmental policy, is consistent with the prevailing survey approach.

As one of Canada's most popular places to retire the question of health care coverage in Mexico is an important question for some. Canadians currently living in Mexico may be familiar with IMSS or what is called Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social. IMSS is a social security program that offers an affordable health care option for Canadians retiring in Mexico. Once granted coverage lasts up to one year, at which time your application must be renewed. Which speaking of, it is that time of the year since they are only accepted during certain calendar periods.
In order to file your IMSS application you will be required to apostille certificate or authenticate and legalize your Canadian birth certificate and marriage certificate. What does this mean? Although Mexico signed the Hague Apostille Convention Canada did not so it does not issue Apostille certificates.
In order for your document to be accepted for use in Mexico it must follow the original process, the first step being authentication at Global Affairs here in Ottawa. This is a process you can access directly however the processing times can add to an already tight time line to file your IMSS application. Using our authentication services guarantees that you have the correct certificate, as there are many different types, and will also save you up to 25 business days off the normal processing time.
With strict time lines for filing IMSS application quick authentication service is important. Since Foreign Affairs offers no assistance for shipping to Mexico by international courier if dealing with them directly, our shipping made easy provides solutions to those who choose our authentication service.
After the authentication of your documents we are now ready for legalization at the Embassy of Mexico here in Ottawa. Since our services are performed in person we will meet with the consular staff on your behalf to ensure all is prepared correctly to save any delays in the process. After a few days we meet with the consular staff to review your documents proofing that they have been legalized correctly. Now that your birth and marriage certificate have been authenticated and legalized they will be recognized in Mexico as the equivalent to an Apostille certificate. Once submitted with the other requirements for an IMSS application you may become eligible for benefits.
With 20 years of experience assisting people authenticate and legalize documents for use in Mexico don't leave it to chance hire an expert to assist you. If you need Authentication and Legalization or an Apostille for Mexico we can help.

What happens when you actually trick people into meditation?

It's time to start WEARING your beauty.
5 father-son pairs on the power of vulnerability
"Close your eyes and think of a word that empowers you," instructs Sah D'Simone, the meditation and transformation coach to the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
We're sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, breathing in and out as Sah takes us on a metaphysical journey into the unknown.
Woo-Sah!

For a Monday night, things are getting spiritually L-I-T. All 150 or so of us are gathered at The Assemblage John Street, a luxurious space centered around interconnectedness and transformation to celebrate the pre-launch of SOON, our beauty bag. To the left is an activation by Erin Claire, Human Design expert who curates programming for the space. In the back corner is Youth To The People, the Los Angeles-based vegan beauty brand with its director of strategy and planning, Jamie Somphanthabansouk, in tow.

Among the colorful crowd are the likes of Nicola Formichetti, renowned stylist and entrepreneur, Charlotte Cho, co-founder of Soko Glam, Minya Quirk, co-founder of Shoppe Object, Phillip Wong, co-founder of Hawthorne, David Lopez, celebrity hairstylist, among others.
They've come to support SOON, Very Good Light's crossbody beauty bag in collaboration with Talk to Her and Haerfest, which is now officially on presale. SOON comes with travel-sized products that were specially curated for your journey, including: Herbivore's Rose Hibiscus Coconut Water Hydrating Face Mist; Farmacy's Coconut Gel Sheet Mask and Honey Butter Beeswax; The Ouai's Texturizng Hairspray; and Youth To the People's Superfood Cleanser and cream.
The bag is all about taking that journey and bringing a part of empowerment along wherever you go.

"For us, bags are your home away from home," says Dan Joo, co-founder of Haerfest. "It's about keeping what means most with you."
Which makes sense for the beauty guru who takes along their products with them.
After nibbling on small bites and downing elixirs, guests sat back down for a panel discussion on social consciousness in startup cultures. David moderated the panel as Joyce Lee, CEO of Talk to Her, Jamie from Youth To The People, and Dan from Haerfest, answered questions on how each company functions in an ever busy world.

"It's about letting go of the ego and embracing love," says Jamie. Still a burgeoning brand – and one of Sephora's bestsellers – Youth To The People has seen immense growth. In the past few months alone, the brand has gone from a handful of employees to almost two dozen. Revenue has also grown at a rapid pace, leaving the brand in a really good place, but also one that's sometimes frenzied. To slow down, Jamie says she sometimes logs off, takes deep breaths and sees the bigger picture. "I feel like sometimes you just have to log off and reflect," she says.
For Joyce, starting a consultancy after her near-decades experience at Opening Ceremony was because of a desire to merge both her American and Korean experiences. While a one woman show, she's juggling multiple projects at once, including KARE, an upcoming pop up at Canal Street Market. To keep her sanity, she admits she prays, meditates and takes long runs to clear her mind. "Feeling my body and going back to my humanity allows me to let go," she says.

It's something that resonates with David and Very Good Light. Now 2-years old, the brand has gone through its ups and downs, he admits. But it's the bigger picture and greater good that inspires him to work even harder. "If this was a blog about David Yi, it would have lasted like, 2 weeks," he says. "But because it's for creating a safe space for all men from all backgrounds, to create inclusivity and promote self-worth, I have my readers in mind every day. That helps me to keep doing this."
The inspirational talk concluded with the overarching inspiration of SOON, which is all about the journey, not the destination. "It's about that thought of getting 'there,' wherever that is and knowing that we'll arrive there one day soon, together."
To secure your own limited-edition SOON bag, head here! For everyone else, it hits Opening Ceremony stores on 1/25!

T-shirts are more than just a staple in the wardrobe of Denver area teens; t-shirts have been the means of teaching students essential business skills and then connecting these teens with local celebrities and city officials at a YouthBiz, Inc. fundraiser.
Thursday, Oct. 23, YouthBiz, inc., held the inaugural "Bash at the Biz," a fashion show featuring catwalk creations by local designers and YouthBiz, Inc. tees at Denver's Mile High Station. The event also included a VIP reception, dinner and networking. Proceeds benefited the nonprofit organization, YouthBiz, Inc., which provides innovative after-school and summer programs to area middle- and high-school students in order to strengthen their academic performance and prepare them for workplace success. The agency provides a variety of innovative programs designed to empower and educate students living in Denver's inner-city neighborhoods, while equipping them with the skills necessary to acquire stable employment.
Since 1992, one of the organization's core, and most notable, programs has been the t-shirt business, YouthInk. Last year, YouthInk printed almost 16,000 screen-printed products, mostly t-shirts, allowing students like Shanita Lewis to essentially develop professional and entrepreneurial skills. Lewis, a 17-year-old Denver resident, addressed VIP guests at the Bash at the Biz, explaining how YouthBiz has helped her, illustrating how support truly makes a difference. Lewis has participated in Youth Biz for six and a half years, continuing a family legacy, following in the footsteps of her three older siblings. "I know the impact (Youth Biz) has had on my life and theirs," said Lewis. As a supervisor in the YouthBiz program, Lewis essentially has an after-school job and teaches classes and workshops to younger students on such topics as financial literacy, goal setting and the benefits of job shadowing. "It's like school," Lewis said. "I learn so much, but I get paid for it." Youth Biz has helped "push" Lewis to meet her goals, she said, and continue to set new ones—such as applying to and then attending George Washington University in the fall. "I'm going to college!" Lewis declared emphatically. "Whatever I have to do…I am going to college. Youth Biz has been supportive of that goal." Her brown eyes glowed with excitement as she talked of possible majors and programs she wants to explore at college. "I'm just counting down," she said.
Lewis was also excited at the prospect of being in the fashion show. She was joined on the runway by her peers in the YouthBiz program, as well as Denver city officials, former Denver Nuggets players, Broncos cheerleaders and a Denver Post reporter—all donning YouthBiz t-shirts (designed especially by the students for this event) or designs by Equillibrium, Rachel Tai, Fallene or DVLP.
"You've caught a real glimpse of the energy of YouthBiz tonight," said Justin McMorrow, chairman of the YouthBiz, Inc. Board of Directors, at the conclusion of the fashion show. He then went on to recount a story of a young man who got involved in YouthBiz instead of the gang in this neighborhood. "It moved me so much, I got involved," he said. "These kids are having experiences well beyond their neighborhood." McMorrow, an entrepreneur himself, said he never had the opportunity to learn or experience what these students gain through YouthBiz. He said he can see how the business skills they learn while running YouthInk would have helped him in his own entrepreneurial endeavors.
This year has been a "banner year" for YouthBiz, said McMorrow, including selling a property it owned in LoDo and purchasing a permanent home in Denver's Five Points neighborhood. With the purchase of the new space, YouthBiz was able to serve over 400 area youth this year, a substantial growth over the previous year's 300 students. The board is making plans to establish satellite offices all over the city, enabling the organization to help more of Denver's youth. YouthBiz has helped over 2,800 middle and high school students in its 16 years of operation. The Bash at the Biz will help keep that momentum going—and The Gay and Lesbian Fund of Colorado matched donations made at the event. "We will become bigger and bigger," McMorrow declared.

Nikkah is an important part of Islamic life. It completes faith. Obscenity and shamelessness could be controlled easily by means of Nikah, that is why being occupied in Nikah is rather good than being engaged in Nafli Ibadat according to Sharia. It is also the source to increase Muslims in this world.
Its commands vary in different situations: sometimes it is Mandatory , sometimes it is Sunnat e Muakkidah ( Important) and sometimes it is Forbidden.
Mandatory ( Wajib ): When a man believes if he does not get married he will involve himself in sin.
Important (Sunnat e Muakkida) : In normal/usual circumstances.
Forbidden ( Haram):: When he believes to treat his wife with cruelty and injustice.


Increasingly, many researchers recommend moving away from discouraging L1 use in L2 classrooms, based on the premise that L2 learners benefit from drawing on all available cognitive resources, including their primary language. Yet, if exposure to meaningful input and opportunities to use the target language are still requisite for promoting L2 acquisition, then teachers in dual language programs need to ensure such exposure and opportunities in each target language (e.g., English in English class; Spanish in Spanish class). So how can teachers encourage students to draw on their knowledge of one language while developing a sense of the linguistic and contextual integrity of both languages? One answer to this question—to be explored in this talk—lies in biliteracy tasks collaboratively designed by partner teachers to begin in one language and to continue in the other.
This talk will present a series of professional development initiatives designed to cross borders between English and French classrooms in the Montreal area. The English and French teachers of the same groups of students collaborated to plan thematic units based on illustrated storybooks read in both languages. Whereas English and French each remained the language of communication in their respective classrooms, borders between languages (and classrooms) were crossed in the thematic units co-designed by teachers with a view to enhancing students' morphological awareness across languages.

What Student Say that they Want in Group Members
I've been experimenting with having surveys where students can tell me one student they would prefer to work with (and why), and anyone they would prefer not to work with (and why, no character attacks), but then also ask them about what makes for ideal people to work with.
This last question has opened a few themes:
A very common one is just wanting to work with people who "care" to learn
"Care to learn/understand the material"
"I'd like a group that cares about physics, if that makes any sense"
"I would prefer to be with the students who really care, because I want really learn the material"
"people who aim to understand"
Another is people willing to put in time, effort, and who contribute
"I would like to work with people who do not mind staying over, doing the extra problems."
"People who give input or ideas for solving problems and not just waiting for the others to tell them the answers."
"I'd like to be with people who are there to try to do their best. If I was with someone who didn't want to put in the work and just tried to slide by it would be a bit frustrating for me."
Pacing (goes both ways)
"I want to work the faster paced group"
"I don't want to work with people who are trying to finish as quickly as possible."
"Similar pace to me — It's just hard to be patience and not go ahead and finish something on a problem when you know what to do but another person doesn't."
Talkative / Outgoing:
"People more outgoing than me – I tend to be more reserved at first and it helps me become more involved in discussion if someone else is more open to starting it. "
"I want to work with more outgoing people, who talk and make the work more fun"
Attention to Detail:
" With people who work their problems very neatly on the boards, so that we learn how work through problems clearly."
"People who care about details, instead of rushing to get done"
I think a lot more themes could come out if I asked the right questions… but these are still interesting.

This has always been an interestng dilemma to me. In my (limited) experience, I have very few students who aren't willing to put in the work, but so many students are concerned that they will be the only ones putting work in to a group project. (I was one of those students when I was in college and still am sometimes in grad school…) I wonder if it comes down to how they perceive different styles of workers. Maybe they only want to work to people similar to them, but they don't realize that and have not had the opportunity to do so, so they think they don't like group work.
Whatever it is, I try to make them challenge the negative feelings that tend to surround group work. It's always interesting to see.
I think a lot of the students who others perceive as not putting in the work, are students who either (1) have a lot going on outside of class (work, family, financial stress), and schools takes a lower priority, not because they don't care, or (2) students has anxiety of some sort (could be related to social or could be related to content / class). I agree that you are right though that I could help my students to broaden the possible stories they could tell about their peers. One kind of common story is "they are lazy", "they dont' care", but other narratives available to use can be "they have a lot going on.", "they are feeling really uncertain about the material", "we haven't yet helped make this student comfortable in the group."
