Hi everyone! Hope y'all are having a fantastic weekend..
After such a fulfilling experience of #blogtober, I took a break and now back with the holiday spirit. Time to get going with some more blogs and this time its #Blogmas.
#Blogmas is a series of blog posts till Christmas, although I'm extending it all through December. So for day 1, I thought of doing a fun bookish tag. Usually these posts have to be Christmas theme, but I'm tweaking them somewhat.
Welcome to day 1 of #blogmas!
Rapid Fire Book Tag is a set of 21 bookish questions that you need to answer rapidly and keep them super fiery! So let's go.
As much as I want to say hardbacks, my wallet and bookshelf will curse me no end, so Paperbacks.
Online book shopping or In-store shopping?
Online book shopping – because sasti books and sales! Okay, sometimes in-store shopping, coz posin' with books for the gram!
It's so relevant and is based on #blacklivesmatter movement. Talks about race, identity, police brutality, and community in such a beautiful way.
If there's just one book you want to read in 2018, this should be it.
Benjamin Alire Saenz. He's the author of two of my most favorite books – Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe; The Inexplicable Logic of Life. I think a lot more people should read what he does with words and how he weaves magic! Surreal and blissful are the best to describe his writing.
Insta love at its best – both for the book and Romeoooo!
Used books – Yay or Nay?
Yay! when they're in good condition. Remembering all the book fairs I've visited.
Buy because Imma rich gurl! Hahaha! No buy book buying is like a therapy and makes me so happy.
Short ones, but not too rushed.
Books that make me cry – sob with all the feels, happy tears thanks to cute romance, or weeping when the dog dies! I've done it all.
Always! Cheers to impulse cover buys and regretting later.
Thankfully didn't have to regret this buy! One of most favorite reads of 2018.
I've discovered the joy of audiobooks recently and they've become an absolute favorite. It is so calming and you can get a lot more reading done.
Standalones, because that commitment for a series isn't happening!
I haven't seen many this year, but from last year I totally adore Me Before You and Room!
Rapid Fire Book Tag was originally created by thebibliophilegirl.uk. If you'e a booknerd like me do this tag and tag me! Also come back all through December for some amazing blogs! See you soon.

Ayodhya Ram Mandir Issue: Supreme Court Suggests Out-Of-Court Settlement - 10 Facts
HomeAll IndiaAyodhya Ram Mandir Issue: Supreme Court Suggests Out-Of-Court Settlement - 10 Facts
This Article is From Mar 21, 2017
All IndiaReported by A Vaidyanathan, Edited by Anindita SanyalUpdated: March 21, 2017 6:37 pm IST
Ayodhya Ram temple issue: Supreme Court said it should be resolved through talks.
"It is an issue of sentiment and religion," the Supreme Court has said
Babari Masjid was pulled down in 1992, a Ram Mandir was proposed there
The BJP has said it will explore constitutional options to build temple
New Delhi: The Ram temple in Ayodhya is a "sensitive", "sentimental issue" and should be sorted outside court through discussion, the Supreme Court has said. The top court said it would step in only if the matter can't be resolved through talks. A decision in the matter has been pending since 2010, when the Supreme Court put a freeze on a judgment by the Allahabad High Court. The High Court judgment had said Lord Ram was born under the central dome of the makeshift temple in Ayodhya and Hindus have the right to worship there.
Here are the Top 10 facts in this big story:
"It is an issue of sentiment and religion. First sit together and sort out. Both sides employ moderators and hold meetings," said Chief Justice JS Khehar, while hearing an urgent appeal from senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy. "We can come into the picture if you can't solve the issue," he had added.
Mr Swamy had requested the top court to take up an appeal to build the Ram Mandir. In his response to Mr Justice Khehar, Mr Swamy said it is difficult to make both communities sit together and judicial intervention is needed in the matter.
"If you want some principal mediator, we can arrange," the Chief Justice said. Asked if he would want to mediate, Chief Justice Khehar said in a lighter vein, "If you want me I can, but will not sit in the bench."
Union minister and senior BJP leader Mahesh Sharma has said the Centre would "love to mediate between the two sides".
Welcoming the court's "concern, Zafar Yab Gilani, the Convener of Babri Masjid Action Committee, said, "We we wish to inform the court that private negotiations are not possible... For the last 31 years, we have been trying. If the Chief Justice nominates some bench to intervene, that could happen".
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "I welcome what the court has said. Both sides can sit down to find an amicable solution. The government is ready to extend any cooperation to facilitate dialogue."
The proposed Ram temple in Ayodhya has been one of the most controversial and divisive issues over the last 25 years.
The BJP has said it is committed to exploring all constitutional options to ensure that the temple is built in Ayodhya. Ahead of the elections in Uttar Pradesh, BJP chief Amit Shah had said there was no contradiction between the temple issue and development, his party's primary poll plank, and they can "co-exist".
Yesterday, during his first meeting with top officials, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had distributed copies of the BJP manifesto and asked his officials to begin work on its implementation.
The makeshift temple in Ayodhya came up after Kar Sevaks, in 1992, had pulled down a masjid which had been standing on the spot since the days of Mughal Emperor Babar. The site was popularly believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram. Various religious sects have been pushing for the building of a grand temple there.

Hebrew. The Hebrew name Rebekah means "captivating" or "snare". The name Rebekah appears in the Old Testament.
Rebecca is a name that implies a pioneering spirit. You are a natural born leader, highly focused, and achievement oriented. Enduring hardship to try out new things come naturally to you. It frustrates you to do too many unimportant activities.
Rebecca (/rɪˈbɛkə/) appears in the Hebrew Bible as the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau. According to biblical tradition, Rebecca's father was Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram, also called Aram-Naharaim.
IT\\\'S FUNNING: What is a immortal sin?
Rebekah remembered that God had told her that the elder would serve the younger. So, instead of praying for God's intervention, she devised a plan to deceive her husband so that Jacob would receive his father's blessing. Rebekah's marriage to Isaac was the result of God's wisdom.
Indeed, Jewish tradition in general elevates her, considering her a righteous woman and even a prophet. As a resourceful trickster, Rebekah serves God and preserves the ancestral lineage.
The Vulgate (Latin) form of biblical Rebekah, from Hebrew רִבְקָה (Rivka, "enchantingly beautiful, captivating, snare").
rebeca Noun. rebeca, la ~ (f) (parka) jacket, the ~ Noun. reefer, the ~ Noun. reefer jacket, the ~ Noun.

Vyšší odborná škola publicistiky (VOŠP) v Praze je vyšší odborná škola, poskytující vzdělání v oboru publicistika – vzdělává budoucí novináře a mediální specialisty. Studium na VOŠP se soustředí na tři obory. Prvním je Žurnalistika a Tvůrčí psaní, druhým Marketing a produkce médií a třetím oborem je Televize, rozhlas a digitální média. Studium je denní, tříleté a zakončené absolutoriem s titulem diplomovaný specialista (DiS).

Zřizovatelem školy je Arcibiskupství pražské, studenti však nemusejí být věřící. Během výuky společenskovědního základu je věnována širší pozornost křesťanským kořenům evropské kultury. Od školního roku 2010/2011 se studuje podle vzdělávacího programu, který je založen na jednotném evropském kreditním systému výuky (ECTS). Vyšší odborná škola publicistiky v Praze výuku zahájila v roce 1996. Její zakladatelkou a první ředitelkou byla Květoslava Neradová. Současným ředitelem je Mgr. Petr Uherka.

Studium
Studenti VOŠP platí školné ve výši 32 tisíc korun ročně. Studující mají plnohodnotný status studenta - stát tak za ně hradí zdravotní pojištění a mohou požívat veškerých studentských výhod (slevy na jízdném, vstupném atd.). Vyučování je na VOŠP koncipováno tak, že teoretický výklad v přednáškách si studenti doplňují praxí v seminářích a ateliérech, příslušných médiích a odborných dílnách. VOŠP nabízí studentům k dispozici studijní materiály ve formě e-learningu pomocí výukového programu Moodle i možnost využití technického vybavení (technika, studia) i pro mimoškolní projekty. Vedle denního studia mohou studenti využít i kombinované studium.

Kreditní systém
Na VOŠP se studuje podle modulového kreditního systému ECTS, který jednoduše umožňuje studentům nechat si uznat absolvované předměty na jiných školách, stejně jako si student může nechat uznat studijní výsledky z VOŠP při dalším studiu například na vysokých školách. Studenti si sami sestavují rozvrh z nabízených modulů a za studium musí získat minimálně 180 kreditů, obhájit absolventskou práci a složit absolventskou zkoušku, po které obdrží titul diplomovaný specialista (DiS.). Absolventi mají možnost pokračovat ve zkráceném jednoletém bakalářském studiu na partnerských vysokých školách. Těmi v současnosti jsou Metropolitní univerzita Praha, Univerzita Jana Amose Komenského Praha a CEVRO institut.

Zaměření
Během studia si lze na VOŠP vybrat z následujících zaměření:

Žurnalistika a tvůrčí psaní

Spolu s nezbytnými teoretickými základy novinařiny si studenti mohou zkusit reálnou redakční práci například v redakci Generace20. Studenti se učí tvorbu zejména textových obsahů všech typů médií, včetně zpravodajství či názorové žurnalistiky. Absolventi nachází uplatnění jako redaktoři, editoři či komentátoři veřejného dění nebo pokračovat ve vlastní literární tvorbě.

Televize, rozhlas a digitální média

Tato specializace se zaměřuje na multimediální žurnalistiku, kameru a střih, novinářskou AV produkci, fotografii se zaměřením na tvorbu reportáže, ale také mobilní žurnalistiku využívající technologie založené na použití mobilního telefonu. Připravuje studenty na práci v televizních, rozhlasových, internetových i tištěných médiích. Absolventi nachází uplatnění jako redaktoři, kameramani, zvukaři, střihači či fotografové, protože umí zpracovat televizní reportáž, televizní magazín, rozhlasový pořad atd. Svět očima studentů mediální školy je zachycen na YouTube kanále VOŠP. V rámci rozhlasového zaměření na škole vzniklo Rádio VYŠŠÍ HLAS.

Marketing a produkce médií

Poznat publikum a pochopit, jak zacházet s marketingovou komunikací to je záměrem dalšího zaměření studia na VOŠP. Studenti se učí komplexnímu přístupu ke komunikaci organizací, který je postaven na základních nástrojích institucionální komunikace. Absolventi nachází uplatnění v soukromém, veřejném i neziskovém sektoru například jako tiskoví mluvčí či odborníci na komunikaci s veřejností či v komunikačních agenturách.

Studentské projekty
V rámci výuky a přípravy na budoucí povolání se studenti učí pracovat v redakčních týmech a tvůrčích skupinách. Vrcholem praktické výuky ve II. ročníku je Mediální den VOŠP v zimním i letním semestru.

Mediální den je projekt Vyšší odborné školy publicistiky, při kterém studenti vytvoří celý zpravodajský pořad. Z jednotlivých reportáží studentských týmů vzniká zpravodajská mozaika, která je večer vysílána živě on-line.

Píšící novináři ve výcviku tvoří zpravodajský web Generace20.cz nebo reportáže, pořady a další výstupy pro audiovizuální média.

Od roku 2005 pořádají studenti VOŠP každoročně studentský festival publicistiky pod názvem Všemi směry.

Z historie
Škola vznikla v roce 1996 z iniciativy PhDr. Květoslavy Neradové. Jejím cílem bylo vychovávat vzdělané a odpovědné profesionály schopné působit ve veřejném prostoru. Oborem doktorky Neradové byla vždy česká literatura, kterou v 60. letech učila na tehdejší fakultě sociálních věd a publicistiky, později na katedře teorie literatury filosofické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy v Praze. Na projektu studia VOŠ publicistiky pracovala už od roku 1994, po dvou letech nastoupili do školy první studenti. Ve studijním roce 1997/98 se ve škole uskutečnil jednoroční kurz publicistiky pro studenty, kteří ukončili studium na jiné škole a rozhodli se jej završit rozšířením o publicistickou orientaci. V létě 1998 opustili školu její první absolventi. Škola sídlí v pražské Opatovické ulici číslo 18 v domě, kde koncem 20. let 20. století sídlilo známé české nakladatelství Josefa Richarda Vilímka mladšího. VOŠP v této budově užívá první a část druhého patra.

V roce 2002 se dostal do médií spor o mnohé kroky tehdejšího ředitele Petra Brichcína. Pozdějšímu řediteli Rudolfu Vévodovi se nepodařilo dokázat, že vedení školy za ředitelování Petra Brichcína "podivným způsobem" využilo přes půl milionu korun a že přístup Brichcína k podřízeným byl v mnohém nestandardní. Krize přiměla zřizovatele školy k vyhlášení výběrového řízení na ředitele školy, v němž Petr Brichcín již neuspěl. Petr Brichcín, poté co byl dlouhodobě v pracovní neschopnosti, jejíž součástí byl i pobyt v lázních, podal poté žalobu ohledně způsobu, jakým s ním byl ukončen pracovní poměr, ale 12. února 2004 soud ve všech bodech jeho návrh zamítl. S další žalobou PhDr. Brichcín uspěl a škola mu vyplatila finanční náhradu.

Po roce 2002 byl zdvojnásoben počet studijních zaměření, bylo získáno několik zahraničních finančních příspěvků i grantových podpor v částce vyšší než 1,5 mil Kč., na škole je pravidelně pořádán festival "Všemi směry". V letech 2003 a 2004 prožila škola své desetileté maximum v zájmu nových uchazečů. Tomu odpovídá i skutečnost, že ve čtyřech po sobě jdoucích letech vykazovalo hospodaření školy zisk. Začalo se i s vydáváním neperiodických tiskovin mediálního zaměření (Vladimír Bystrov: Svobodná nesvoboda; sborník Média, kultura a náboženství). V lednu 2008 se ředitel Vévoda vzdal své funkce.

Ve výběrovém řízení na ředitele školy v březnu 2008 uspěl Mgr. Petr Uherka, který je ředitelem školy i v současnosti.

Hungary's restrictions to stay in place until Jan 11 ?
coronavirus Coronavirus in Hungary Hungary Viktor Orbán
Hungary's current, strict coronavirus-related restrictions will be kept in place until January 11, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Monday, after a meeting of the central board coordinating efforts against the epidemic.
Orbán said on Facebook that a decision concerning restrictions on Christmas Eve would be made later.
The current curfew between 8pm and 5am will stay in place, Orbán said, adding that "we will decide about a possible exception for Christmas Eve on December 21, in view of the situation then." He added, however, that
December 31 would be no exception, with a ban on New Year's Eve parties.
Orbán said that a vaccine would be made available in the "foreseeable future", adding that people wishing to be inoculated could start registering on Tuesday.
"We are working for Hungary to be among the first countries to get the vaccine," he said.
The government is in talks with every player, without regard to political or corporate interests, he said. The only priority is to bring the vaccine to Hungarians as soon and as safely as possible, he said.
Regarding the testing of frontline workers which started two weeks ago, Orban said Hungary had been among the countries carrying out the higest number of tests last week.
He again thanked doctors, nurses and teachers for their work and called on all citizens to adhere to epidemiological regulations.
As we wrote today, fully 116 Covid patients, mostly elderly and suffering from an underlying illness, died over the past 24 hours in Hungary, while 3,870 infections were registered, bringing the total over the course of the pandemic to 254,148, read more details HERE.
Restrictions in Hungary
Between 9am and 11am on weekdays and 8am and 10am on weekends, customers below that age are banned from shopping in grocery shops, household chemists and pharmacies. Senior citizens have the right to shop at any time.
On November 10, lawmakers extended the government's special powers by 90 days, allowing the government to suspend the application of some legislation, diverge from legal provisions and take other extraordinary measures by decree.
A decree made commercial P+Rs, parking garages and parking lots in residential areas free of charge from 7:00 in the evening until 7:00 in the morning.
Soldiers are helping the police in carrying out their duties in public areas. Soldiers have also been assigned to help out staff in 93 hospitals around Hungary. The curfew is in force between 8pm and 5am, and work carried out beyond the home must be justified. With the exception of pharmacies and petrol stations, shops can be open until 7pm.
Hairdressers, masseurs and personal trainers must observe general curfew rules. Family and private events including birthday celebrations can be held with a maximum of ten people attending.
A major new rule is that face masks must be worn in public spaces in localities with more than 10,000 residents, though it is up to local mayors to decide which spaces the rule applies to.
Restaurants are limited to offering takeaways, while hotels are not allowed to cater to tourists, only guests arriving for business, economic or educational purposes. Sports events must be held behind closed doors.
Also, leisure facilities such as fitness gyms, indoor swimming pools, museums, libraries, cinemas, zoos and skating rinks must suspend their services. Events, including cultural events and Christmas fairs, cannot be held under the special rules.

Contemporary conflict
Timeline of 20th and 21st Century Wars
Military conflict took place during every year of the 20th Century. There were only short periods of time that the world was free of war. The total number of deaths caused by war during the 20th Century has been estimated at 187 million and is probably higher.


The Cass City Area Historical and Genealogy Society was established in 1977. This was the time of the Bicentennial of the United States and also the publication of Alex Haley's novel "Roots". Both of these events, no doubt, stirred up the revival of interest in local history and genealogy.
The primary area of concern for the historical society is the village of Cass City and the townships of Elkland, Novesta, Elmwood, Evergreen and Greenleaf. Membership includes people from those areas along with individuals who live in other parts of the country but have a connection either because they have lived here at one time or have ancestors from the area.
The Cass City Newspapers form 1881 until the present and the Elkland and Novesta Cemetery Records are available online. Both databases may be accessed using the buttons on the left-hand side of the screen.
Production of "Living History" videos made up of interviews of long time residents of the area. These videos are available by checking them out at Rawson Memorial Library.

The potential strike at American Airlines has thousands of passengers across the country booking backup reservations and rethinking travel plans.
From California to the Caribbean, families are juggling vacation schedules, hotels are wondering if guests will arrive, and travel agents want the phones to stop ringing - now.
A walkout by the airline's pilot union, currently scheduled for midnight Friday, would ground the nation's largest air carrier - eliminating one-fifth of the country's airborne traffic and impacting entire regions and industries. While negotiations continue between the two sides that could avert a strike, many travelers aren't waiting for a white flag to go up.
Take Kristin Burkland. The Austin, Texas, resident flew to Los Angeles this week on business. She was scheduled to return on an American flight, but instead rebooked on another airline - at an additional cost of $669. "I didn't want to take any chances so I got a flight on Delta just to make sure I can get home," says Ms. Burland, who works for a Texas-based computer company.
The timing of the threatened strike is particularly problematic. Late February is the start of spring break for many schools, and families have planned their vacations around the schedule. Some booked reservations up to a year ago.
This is a "huge week for a lot of people and families," says Gail Strand of the Travel Collaborative, a Cambridge, Mass., travel agency whose phones have been deluged with calls from confused customers.
If families are concerned, so are many hotel operators and restaurateurs. This is particularly true in areas heavily served by Dallas-based American. The airline is the dominant US carrier to South America and Great Britain.
It also controls 70 percent of the traffic in and out of the Caribbean. Moreover, winter tourism accounts for as much as 70 percent of the region's $14-billion economy.
Yet more than passengers on American flights will be affected if the strike comes about. The scramble will be on to find seats on other airlines.
"Flights are going to be overbooked and there is going to be just an enormous squeeze," predicts David Stemplar, head of AirTrav Advisors, a Washington D.C.-based consulting firm. "Load factors [seats sold] have been pretty high anyway, up in the 70s on average. That means peak flights are running almost 100 percent. We are about to see a real crimp in the marketplace."
Still, not everyone will be caught off guard. Many savvy business travelers have been preparing for a possible strike for some time. Joseph Duncan, an economist based in Vero Beach, Fla, says his travel agent began shifting his itinerary away from American Airlines about a month ago. "Over the next month, I hold no American tickets," says Mr. Duncan, who averages about 250,000 miles of travel per year.
Despite all the concern, the unease may be less than it was the last time American was shut down. That occurred in November of 1993, when American's flight attendants staged a five-day walkout. The strike disrupted the holiday travel of 9 million passengers. The dispute was settled when the parties submitting to binding arbitration.
For those who might be impacted by a walkout, experts have suggestions to minimize problems. The first is not to book on American until the dispute is resolved.
"You are going to be left at the airport, basically," warns Robert Di Vito, director of the Aviation Consumer Action Project.
Should a walkout take place, American has agreements with other major carriers and will try to reroute its passengers. The airline says it will provide refunds for travelers who can't get other flights. Still, Mr De Vito says none of the options are fair to customers who bought cheaper advance fares. If their money is refunded, they will still have to pay higher fares for new tickets.
Other suggestions: If you already hold an American ticket for travel during the likely strike period, consider booking a refundable ticket on another airline. If your American flight takes off, you can cash in the refundable ticket.

This Field of Rocking Horses in Massachusetts Should Be a Bigger Deal
By Jeremiah Budin Sep 22, 2015, 12:55pm EDT
In the town of Lincoln, Massachusetts, there is a field where people keep mysteriously leaving old rocking horses (roughly 42, by the most recent count), and nobody really seems to care except for one elderly neighbor and a writer for the Boston Globe. Sure, there has been some interest—"a woman came out from Worcester to see them. It was great," Harold McAleer, the neighbor, told the Globe—but at the very least this should be a national landmark. It's just so weird. Instead, it's not even listed in the "Points of interest" section of the town's Wikipedia page. It doesn't even have a name. McAleer calls it "The Horsies," which, while adorable, doesn't quite capture the whole spirit of the thing. Or maybe it does—it's hard to tell what the spirit of this thing is, which is exactly what's so intriguing about it.

In Summary: I took an in-depth look at 15 different carry-on bags for kids and in my opinion the Skip Hop Little Kid Luggage is the best carry on luggage for kids.
In this post I discuss the value of using kids carry on luggage and why it's best both for you and for your little one.
I then take a look at different types of carry on bag for kids and the pro and cons. And I look at what bags are most suitable for different age groups.
If you want something you can wheel your kid around on then check out the Trunki Ride On Suitcase.
And for something truly unique take a look at the Micro Luggage Scooter.
Read on for a full and detailed discussion of kids carry on luggage as well as all the airline rules and regulations on the topic.
What Kind Of Bags Are You Interested In?
Believe it or not, carry on luggage is a great way to teach your kids about travel, independence, and responsibility.
It's not just the carrying or wheeling of the bag. It's the preparation and the packing too.
The bag is a big part of the travel experience.
Whether it's a trip around the corner to stay overnight at grandmas or a flight across the other side of the world.
The way I see it... you can travel as though your child is the luggage... or you can involve them in the whole travel process, and the best way to do that is to get them their own little travel bag.
If you've bought your child an airline seat, even if it's a discounted child seat, it will have luggage allowance that you can use.
So all in all while it might sometimes seem easier just to put all your child's items in your suitcase you can use your child's carry on allowance to avoid checking bags, save money and save time.
Your bag is going to be lighter even your little angel only takes a few lbs. It all helps.
Explain to the child that they will need to look after their bag and in the same way, mum or dad needs to look after their bag. Each member of the family has a bag to look after.
Small backpacks can be better than wheeled for some kids. Rolling backpacks for kids can be just too much fun!
Doctors and physical therapists recommend that a child should not carry a bag more than 10 - 15% of their body weight.
First off... if you pay for a full seat then you get the full carry on luggage allowance that goes with that seat.
For details of all the carry on luggage size limits check with this post.
Many airlines allow infants under 2 years old to travel free or for highly discounted rates if they sit on their parents lap.
This is great but the baggage rules for lap seats can very a lot from airline to airline.
It's always best to check with your carrier but here is some information from a few popular airlines.
If you are travelling with an infant on your lap, you may bring one standard carry-on bag not exceeding 10 kg (22 lb) in weight to carry their belongings, in addition to your personal carry-on allowance.
A non-paying lap child can have a diaper bag. No mention of any additional allowance other than the parents own allowance.
A non paying lap child has no additional carry on allowance but the adult gets to take an additional diaper bag.
Young children can't carry as much as older children but their things don't weigh as much either.
I believe that pretty much as soon as your child is walking full time then you can start to benefit by getting them a kids travel bag.
These are really cute. They are not built to last forever but then your child won't be small enough to wear it forever too. And they are cheap so I don't think the durability is an issue.
These are not going to hold a lot but they are great for introducing children to the idea of packing and travel.
And the detachable safety harness means you won't lose your child in the airport!
Depending on your childs age you could store between 2 - 5 lbs of travel items in here. A lot of people use them to store a few diapers or maybe a toy and some snacks.
The Penguin Packs are 3 different colored penguin backpacks that suit children from age 3 to 6.
If your child has their own seat and baggage allowance then you might want a slightly bigger backpack so you can actually pack some of their clothes for the trip.
Backpacks are great for kids that are too young to use a rolling carry on. A wheeled bag can just be too much fun and airports are not great places for playing in.
You might have seen the Trunki Ride-on on tv's Dragons Den show.
The Trunki can be towed or the child can make it go with their feet but it's not a small case so don't expect your child to carry it.
This case has a lot of storage capacity and I think when you compare it to the size of the kids using it it's massive. If a trunki was scaled up to adult size it would be way too big to use as a carry on.
Kids clothes are smaller and lighter than adult clothes so you should be able to use this to pack the clothes for your child's trip if you pack in moderation.
Or alternatively you could use it to hold toys and game and other items to keep them entertained.
If you kid is happy to sit and be towed then the Trunki is great, but if they are very energetic then it could simply be too much fun to be useful in busy airports.
GoVinci Trolley is designed to help keep your kids entertained while hanging around airports and is perfect for all the budding artists out there!
That's because this wheeled rolling carry on has a built in frame for displaying sketches and drawings.
It's a great way to personalize kids luggage and if you pack some crayons then drawing is a great way to pass some time in the airport.
It's proportioned correctly for kids 3+ and is a correctly formed mini rolling carry on but since this case hasn't sold much you will be taking a chance on reliability. There are not enough reviews yet to accurately gauge how will this will perform and due to low availability we couldn't get our hands on one.
The Skip Hop Rolling Carry On is another miniature carry-on roller for kids and it's my favorite kids carry on luggage!
It's important to distinguish from a carry on bag for kids that you will carry for them and a carry on bag for kids that they will carry themselves.
Some people complain about this bag being too small but I think what they really want is an adult sized carry on with kids styling.
This bag is meant to be used by the child and I'd say it works well for kids from age 3 to 8.
The Skip Hop is a bag that has many many happy customers and this one the main reason why we couldn't ignore it.
It's hard to pick a winner in these tests but the Skip Hop just ticked all the right boxes.
For the price they can't be beaten!
Carry on's don't always need to be complicated. Sometimes it's best to just stuff some clothes in a bag and kids don't need a place to store their passport. It's best you keep hold of that!
The Kelty Grommet is a backpack designed for kids from age 5 to 10.
It has just under 14 liters of storage capacity, to put that in perspective for you a typical 22x14x9 inch rolling carry on is about 45 liters. So this backpack can hold about a third of what a full size adult carry on can take.
Yet kids clothes are smaller and lighter so you can pack quite a lot of things in this backpack for short trips.
This type of bag has a multitude of uses, it can be used for school or for play so it's not just something you can use for travel.
It's not got padding for packing breakable to keep the iPad's etc in your own case.
On the negative side I think their upper age limit of 10 seems a bit high. I'd say this is a good little backpack for ages from 5 to 8. Kids age 10 can easily take something a little bigger.
The Cabin Max Bear Luggage is a 3/4 size child's carry on bag.
Cabin Max have come up with a great idea for the bear holder but the be aware that the bear is not included.
This bag is a great size for kids to use as carry on luggage. At 34 liters it can be used in most cases to take all the kids stuff for the trip.
Children from age 3+ can use this bag or a fast developing 2 year old. The upper age limit is probably around the age that having a bear strapped to your bag is no longer cool.
While the soft sides don't offer much structure they help keep the weight down which is particularly important for little people. When empty this bag only weights 2.2 lbs that's impressive because it has the wheels and handle to add extra weight but it's still light.
It seems that older versions of this bag had a duffel strap and newer versions have backpack straps. So be careful when you are ordering. Not all colors variations of this bag are the same.
The Stephen Joseph is a pretty girls rolling carry on that would suit ages 3 - 9.
It's got side pockets and a front pocket and a pocket inside too. It's got pockets galore!
It comes in 3 bright and vibrant "girls color" designs featuring an owl, a horse and a fox.
There are also boys versions in "boys colors" that feature dinosaurs, sports, planes and monkeys.
This was a bugbear of mine since girls can like dinosaurs and boys can like horses. Perhaps some more gender neutral designs would be nice.
Nothing helps sell products more than a merchandising tie-in with a big hit movie. And that's why American Tourister have teamed up with Disney to create themed rolling carry-on luggage for children.
They've got Frozen, Cars, Sophia The First, Star Wars, Princess and Mickey Mouse versions of these 18 x 12 x 7 inch rollers.
I always feel that you are paying a little extra for the branding and that a similar unbranded suitcase would be significantly cheaper.
The luggage is well built and hold around 24 liters. That's just over half the capacity of a typical adult carry on.
What this means is they they work best for smaller kids that require less luggage. The older the child then the more space their clothes and shoes take up and they need a bigger bag.
A hard case is especially good if you think you might check your bags. This way your belongings are better protected from overzealous baggage handlers.
The hard cases are also great for using as seats or makeshift tables. They are generally more sturdy than the soft version.
The Star Wars themes are not well matched for the size of the bag.
Once kids reach 13 they can be using full size carry on luggage or near full size.
If you really want Star Wars themed luggage then you must check out the Disney BB8 roller.
For any BB-8 fan then there is really only going to be one winning carry on suitcase.
For luggage the shape is all wrong, it doesn't make good use of the dimensions and it's not particularly well constructed.
Better functioning luggage is available... but... it's BB - 8 !!!!
As kids grow older they need more and more things when they travel so it starts to make more and more sense that they really need their own bag.
Teenagers can pretty much take the same size of bag as adults especially if they have a rolling carry on. You might need to help young teens lift bags into the overhead locker.
I'd advise putting valuables like iPads in your own bag.
Be aware that in-flight theft is real and you need to be very careful that nobody tampers with your bag during the flight!!!
The more bags that your family is traveling with the more bags you will need to secure and keep track of.
The Hello Kitty brand has been around for a long time and is much loved.
At first this looks like a great bag for young teen girls but there is a big issue with the dimensions.
Once you include the wheels the bag goes above the carry on size limits for a lot of airlines.
For this reason I would recommend steering clear of the Hello Kitty bag it's better to be safe than sorry!
Too big because of the wheels!
For something truely unique take a look at the Micro Luggage Scooter.
But the problem soon becomes aparent. it's way too heavy for carry on luggage.
And another thing.. maybe I'm just a square but I don't think airports are sensible places to be scooting about it.
It's also really expensive and I don't think it's worth the money. If you want to travel with a scooter it's a better idea to buy a folding mini scooter and put it in a backpack.
A sports/travel duffel is a great choice for teenagers that are strong fit and able.
A well made duffel bag can last for years and they can hold a lot of things.
Once you have arrived at your destination a duffel can be used for trips to the beach or excursions.
Older kids and teens should be fit enough that they can carry a bag and with a duffel there is less to go wrong with it.
Older kids and teenagers can start to move on to full size carry on luggage but they might still want something with a bit of character like the Rockland 2 Piece Luggage Set.
The Rockland luggage is hugely popular and they have loads of different funky designs.
A word of warning. This bag is 10 inches deep including the front pocket. Really strict airline check in staff might say this is over-sized.
However Amazon sell so many of these things and most people are happy to I think the size is probably ok.
The Samsonite Underseater is a carry on bag for grown ups… but it's a small one.
As the name suggests it's designed to fit under the airline seat rather than fit in the overhead locker.
This can take some of the stress out of travelling as you will always find a space under the seat in front of you for your bag.
It's also the most secure place to keep your bag to stop people tampering with it and stealing things during the flight!
I'd recommend the Samsonite Underseater for older children that are traveling alone. Keeping the bag right next to them will be more relaxing. It's one less thing to worry about.
A great way to personalize kids luggage is to use luggage tags with their name on them.
This is a fun thing to do in the lead up to a vacation and any fun related to the trip planning can reduce anxiety and lead to more relaxed travel.
I hope you have enjoyed this look at kids travel bags and most of all I hope you've found it useful.
If you think this is a good page then why not share it with your friends on social media?
We appreciate your support and wish you happy stress free travel with your children!

Sweeney: N.J. road funding crisis complicates public worker pension amendment
Updated: Jan. 16, 2019, 9:24 p.m. | Published: Jul. 14, 2016, 10:47 p.m.
N.J. pension crisis explained with popsicle sticks
By Samantha Marcus | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
TRENTON -- The stalemate over funding for the Transportation Trust Fund that prompted a weeklong shutdown of construction projects is threatening a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing public worker pension contributions, state Senate President Stephen Sweeney said Thursday.
The state Legislature is just one voting session from putting a referendum on the fall ballot asking voters to approve the constitutional amendment being sought by public labor unions to obligate the state to higher annual contributions.
The state Assembly passed the measure in late June, but the Senate still must meet an early August deadline to secure it a place on the ballot.
Sweeney (D-Gloucester), who's championed the amendment and sponsored it in the upper chamber, said it would be irresponsible to bind the state to hundreds of millions of dollars more per year for pensions while the transportation funding crisis is unresolved and the Assembly and Gov. Chris Christie are pushing a plan that would erase billions of dollars in revenue.
"It's in jeopardy if we can't fund it," Sweeney said Thursday, six days into the seven-day construction freeze. "What if I pass the Assembly bill because we get to a point where everything is shut down, everyone is screaming at everybody and the economy is being harmed in a very serious way. Or we even come somewhere close to it? How do I fund the pension at that point?"
The issue is over how the state will replenish that trust fund, which expired at the beginning of the month and is running out of money for new projects. All revenue flowing into the fund is needed to pay off existing debt.
Sweeney backs a bipartisan Senate plan that would raise the tax on gasoline sold in New Jersey by 23 cents per gallon. That plan would also eliminate the estate tax, raise a tax credit for the working poor, free much retirement income from taxes, and create a deduction for charitable contributions.
By 2022, the Senate plan would cost the state budget $962 million to $1.16 billion a year.
Christie said that plan does not do enough for New Jerseyans to take the edge off the gas tax hike.
A last-minute alternative hashed out between the governor and the Assembly, which would raise the retirement income tax exemption and reduce the 7 percent sales tax by to 6 percent over two years, would cost the state nearly $1.88 billion to $1.94 billion a year by 2022.
But Sweeney said that plan doesn't have the votes to pass his house, pitting the Senate against the governor and Assembly.
The Senate president has said his members won't support a plan that would "bust" the budget. Layering the pension commitment top of that would be a significant risk to the budget.
This year, the state is scheduled to contribute $1.86 billion to government worker pensions. With a constitutional amendment requiring the state to gradually increase that contributions until reaching the full payment recommended by actuaries, it would have to come up with another $650 million to $830 million a year through 2022.
"People are getting mad at me now because I haven't put the constitutional amendment up for the pension yet," Sweeney said. "How do you do that when you do what they did in the Assembly? You can't do both. It's not possible. How do you constitutionally mandate a pension payment and not provide any way of funding it ... So I gotta get the TTF fixed because I'd like to get the (amendment) done."
Hetty Rosenstein, state director of the Communications Workers of America, said it's up to Sweeney to resist the governor's sales tax cut. It would be "incomprehensible" if the Senate did not vote on the pension referendum, she added.
"If Senator Sweeney is directly connecting doing the pension amendment with gridlock over the TTF, then yes, I have a concern about it," Rosenstein said Thursday.
Sweeney began championing the amendment after the state Supreme Court ruled last year that a 2011 pension law couldn't force the governor to contribute more to one of the worst-funded pension systems in the country.
Sweeney delivered Christie several alternative funding schemes in a private meeting Tuesday, which he and the administration have declined to detail. The governor said he would respond to the counteroffers this week, Sweeney said.
But if they're not able to strike a quick deal, the stalemate could push into late July, as Republicans, including Christie, leave the state for the GOP national convention in Cleveland, which begins Monday, and Democrats then go to Philadelphia for their convention.
"This week's done. In all reality, if he gives us something back it's going to take us a day to at least look at it," Sweeney said.

Discussion in 'General Paddling Discussions' started by Man in qajaq, Nov 14, 2018.
If I were to build a laminated paddle does all the grain need to be running the same way? If the grain is mixed between verticle and horizontal, would that make carving difficult? Would it have any increase in the strength of the paddle overall; having the grain mixed?
Or should I be mindful to have all the grain running the same way?
Are you building a Greenland or Euro paddle? Either way it will help for shaping if all grain is running the same direction - preferably edge grain. And with different woods expanding at different rates you might want to check on effect of wood grain and expansion properties of your chosen woods even if glassed or coated.
I see this is most common in many of the paddles I've seen others build.
A buddy used some maple for end tips and they kept swelling every time he used it.
You should not have any problem with those two woods laminated together.
To eliminate differential swelling, the joined wood strips need a light layer of fiberglass/epoxy, filled and protected with a UV-resistant coating. Epoxy alone is not sufficuent to eliminate differential swelling effects in all combos. Some combinations are close enough that epoxy is sufficient.
Six ounce glass is too heavy. Two ounce glass is enough. Model airplane shops will sell small quantities.
I always laminate my GPs though the pieces are all from the same plank. The pieces from the sides go top and bottom to build up the required thickness so a 20 mm thick plank makes up a GP that would otherwise be carved out of a 4x2 (inches). This reduces the wastage and the pieces go in opposite directions so they stiffen the finished paddle.
No fibreglass. Yes, epoxy to glue the bits together. Western Red Cedar with kwila tips. The tips are glued and dowelled, the dowels being 3 mm SS pins into ~4 mm holes, little accuracy needed. Crimp the pins a bit for glue to grip them.
Everything is finished with boiled linseed oil.
I presume you mean mixing radial and tangential grain orientations?
typically there is a moisture shrinkage/expansion ratio between the two types, tangential being twice that of radial. Happily cedars are the most stable of coniferous woods at about 2% radial so mixing will be of minimal concern. . . but there still is that 2x difference.
To me, that means some sort of surface treatment [oil or whatever] might be a plan after adherence.
Cedars are relatively stable? Not our Western red cedar deck!
Ya shoulda used it fer paddles!
But it's a fairly tough environment here: moisture, moderate temperatures, lots of spores: a perfect mould dining setup, yum yum . . . . but optimally, cedars should be one of the better conifers to choose but maybe the deck cedar was of more looser grain and/or less oriented to quarter sawn where the shrinkage ratios were better balanced.

Q: Node JS Batch Get on Redis Keys I want to get a lot of key/ values stored on Redis at once, using a batch request.
I am using the node js redis client. The idea is to make a get request on multiple keys asynchronously, any way to do this?
I checked the batch function in node js Redis client, from what I understood it's useful in the case if you want to get all the elements of a hash at once but not the data of different keys at once in async mode.
what I am trying to do is reading all the table to pick specific key / values based on an attribute of the value (timestamp)

A: You're looking for MGET, per the docs:

redis> SET key1 "Hello"
"OK"
redis> SET key2 "World"
"OK"
redis> MGET key1 key2 nonexisting
1) "Hello"
2) "World"
3) (nil)

If you're using the redis package, it should look like this:
client.mget(["key1", "key2", "nonexisting"], (err, val) => {
  console.log(val); //["Hello", "World", null]
});

A Rigged Debate
By Ryan McGreal
Ontario Minister of Transportation Harinder Takhar has re-opened the debate on whether the province should allow multi-truck rigs on provincial highways.
It turns out there are already highways that allow multi-truck trailers, and they've been hauling freight cars efficiently and safely for over a centruy. They're called railways, and our politicians would spend their time more wisely figuring out how to take full advantage of them before oil gets so expensive that Canada's industrial heartland can no longer afford to transport goods.
Ryan McGreal, the editor of Raise the Hammer, lives in Hamilton with his family and works as a programmer, writer and consultant. Ryan volunteers with Hamilton Light Rail, a citizen group dedicated to bringing light rail transit to Hamilton. Ryan wrote a city affairs column in Hamilton Magazine, and several of his articles have been published in the Hamilton Spectator.

Fresh herbs wake up your palate with every mouthful. Plus they make your everyday meals look extra fancy. I love including fresh herbs to most dishes that I cook.
The only downside to fresh herbs is that they wilt and spoil so quickly.
Here is the best way that I've found to store fresh herbs.
When you bring fresh herbs home from the store, the first step is to get rid of the rubber band that's holding the herbs together.
Wash them really well and dry them by using a salad spinner.
If you don't have a salad spinner, you can dry the herbs without it, but the salad spinner works great on getting the herbs dry very thoroughly.
Extra moisture will make the herbs wilt and spoil much quicker.
Place the dry herbs on a paper towel and roll up the paper towel loosely.
Place the herbs inside a ziptop bag but leave it partly open.
The paper towel will wick away the moisture and keep the herbs fresh.
The other great thing about storing herbs this way is that you always have clean dry herbs available. I hate to admit it, but sometimes I don't add herbs to food just because I'm too lazy to wash it.
It's also much easier to chop herbs when they're not wet.
Thanks for the great tip, Olga. I almost never buy fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley because my chickens end up getting most of it. Can this method be used to store herbs in the freezer?
However, I prefer the taste of fresh herbs, and only freeze them if I can't use them up quickly enough.
Ah! I see, Marina! Now it all makes sense:). Good for you. That is awesome.
I always mince my herbs, and store them in the freezer in ziplock bag. My mom gave me that idea after i've complained to her how my herbs bunch would spoil, and it was a waste. And its already washed and minced, ready to add to any dish.
this is a great idea! we've recently been given the opportunity to particpate in the Bountiful Baskets program in our area and frequently the add-ons include fresh herbs which I've been just trying to use up in the first couple of days of receiving them. I have heard of others drying them, but would prefer to keep them fresh for longer. thank you!!
I usually store my herbs in container in freezer, but I was just wondering how long do they herbs last like this in paper towel?
and cooked some of your recipies. I also love your tips. It's a great idea to store fresh herbs using paper towels and even more to dry them using a salad spinner. You are so smart because I have a salad spinner but never used it for drying fresh herbs. I like others just minced it's and store in my freezer using plastic bags. Your idea is much better. You can use them for decoration or minced later. GREAT JOB!!!
GOOD LUCK and BLESSING TO YOU!!!
Thank you for taking the time to write! I am so glad that the tips are helpful to you. God bless you too.
I also store all fresh herbs the same way. Another way I also do is: chop any herbs you want, mix them with a little olive oil and put them in ice cubes container and freeze it. Any time you need it just take one or more cubes and put in soups,gravy,etc.
Any specific salad spinner you would recommend?
I have the OXO salad spinner and it works great.
Hi Olga, you didn't say how long your herbs last when stored like this. I'd be curious to see how it compares to my method. I learned this years ago when I was working at a restaurant: get rid of the rubber band, wash the bunch (no drying), wrap the stems in paper towel which I then soak under the tap, gently squeeze out excess water, place wrapped bunch in a plastic bag and get rid of as much air as you can when you place it in the fridge. Keeps fresh and crunchy for at least two weeks. I store everything green this way, even celery. I should try your method, too. Perhaps divide a bunch of parsley in two and compare. Kitchen experiments, you know.
That is a great experiment, Dorina. I would love to hear the results. The herbs usually last for about a week and a half or so, but usually I use them up faster.
It really saves me some money not to have to throw out half of the herbs that I buy. Another benefit is that they are already washed and ready to go, so they chop much better when they aren't too wet.
This was so helpful. I've felt guilty throwing away spoiled herbs because I don't' use them up fast enough.
Another thing that I do sometimes if I know that I won't be able to use up the herbs that I have, is to chop up the fresh herbs and to freeze them and then I add them to soups and salads and it works great. A trick my Mom taught me:).
I'm so glad this tip was helpful for you, Olga. Thank you for taking the time to write.
I'm going to wash, spin in salad spinner, chop and then freeze for later use. I tend to use more herbs in the fall and winter when I'm cooking more hot soups, stews and pasta dishes that require herbs.
I love your recipes and blog . Thanks so much.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you, Alayne. Fresh herbs really help to brighten up a dish.
Thank you for the great tip on storing the herbs in the fridge using a paper towel.
I usually buy a bunch of herbs. I wash and dry them. Mince and keep them in a glass jar in the freezer.
