Calgary, Edmonton bridge projects move forward Back to video
With Saskatoon's city council about to deliberate on yet another Traffic Bridge decision (whether to demolish it incrementally, demolish it completely, keep it the way it is until funding reveals itself, or, really anything council wants to do) it's worth looking at Calgary's long fight over the $24.5-million Peace Bridge, a red helix designed by Santiago Calatrava in 2009.
The cycling and pedestrian bridge opened on the weekend with residents lining up to cross.Some insight from the Calgary Herald here and video and some context here.
Edmonton is also about to embark on a rebuild of its Walterdale Bridge for $132-million. Edmonton's council was faced with a decision on the 100-year-old steel truss bridge last year, with saving the bridge for pedsestrian and cycling use estimated at $20-million (saving the Traffic Bridge was estimated at $24-million and up). Edmonton's council decided to borrow money for a new signature bridge with a few more traffic lanes. There's a video of the proposed Edmonton bridge here alongside an archived David Staples column arguing in favour of the expense.
Such signature buildings include the main legislative buildings for the city and the province, the main public square, the main concert hall, theatre, art gallery and museum, the main university buildings, the main arena, the main airport and, of course, the main bridge into the downtown. If we go cheap on it, we might well pay less now, but we shortchange ourselves and our city for at least the next 100 years.

Before releasing a game, developers and publishers should know the gamers' behavior. What about Indonesian gamers? Let's take a look at the data provided by Newzoo and Fortumo below.
One thing that we should know before releasing a game in a country is the gamers themselves. We should know what is the gaming trend in their community. And also, we should learn what we must do to reach more gamers after we launch our game.
In this article, we want to show you a little bit insight about the Indonesian gamers' behavior. This data based on a survey from Newzoo published on their site early June, and also from Fortumo. So, let's take a look the details below.
Indonesia is The #16 Biggest Market in the World
As the most populated country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has the biggest number of gamers. By the end of 2017, there will be approximately 43.7 million gamers in Indonesia, spending a total of $880 million only for games. This makes Indonesia #16 worldwide in terms of game revenues.
[Related Article: 7 Reasons Why Mobile Games Can Perform Well in SEA Market]
But sadly, still, only 1% of that revenue goes to locally-made games. The other 99% percent goes to international games for all platform, ranging from mobile, PC to console.
Male vs Female
Like in other countries, male gamers are still dominating the market. For example, males make up the 56% of the PC/laptop gamer population, comparing to 44% of female gamers.
If we look at the chart above, we can see that the 26% are males aged between 21-35. For the female, this age range is also the biggest number among the others with 21%. It means that teenagers and middle-aged people are still the biggest target market for developers or publishers who want to release their games in Indonesia.
How Effective is a Youtube Channel?
Let's play and walkthrough videos are very popular among those who watch gaming video content. Approximately, two-thirds of them (or the 66%) watching these videos to support their games. This is a good news for video creators to make more contents for gaming.
What About Cross-Platforming?
This data proves that around 45% gamers in Indonesia play cross-platform games. They play games at least on three platforms: mobile (iOS/Android), PC and console. It's a good news for developers who want to make a multiplatform game or port their games to other platforms.
What is The Biggest Telco Provider for DCB?
Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) is the 3rd most popular payment method for digital goods, including games. Telkomsel is the biggest telco provider in Indonesia with the biggest market share also in Indonesia by 45%. Followed by Indosat in 2nd place with 22%, and then Hutchinson (3) and XL share the same spot with 14%. This data collected by Fortumo in 2016.

Tips For Planning A Golf Tournament At The Last-Minute
Sunday, August 18, 2019
Planning a golf tournament is beneficial for so many reasons, even if you are planning it out at the last minute. You can still have a successful tournament. But since you are on a time crunch, it is essential to cut corners and shift your focus from overthinking to focusing on what matters. You'll have to plan your event the same way you would if you had more time, but on a smaller scale. To help, here are some tips to help you plan your tournament at the last minute.
Effective Marketing
This is the most important part of planning your last-minute tournament. Drawing in golfers through effective marketing and promotions will make sure you get the number of registrations you desire. Tournament directors assume that they have to do it on their own, but they don't. Take advantage of social media and post your event on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. You can also use your mailing list to send or email flyers promoting your event.
Hole in one contests is a great way to bring excitement to your tournament. Since you are planning at the last minute, you want to be able to draw in as many golfers as you can. Offering cash prizes for a hole in one, longest-drive, shootout, closest to the pin, or putting contest will motivate anyone to play at your tournament. But the only way that this will be effective, is if you get insurance (US Hole In One insurance to be exact)! What good is promoting that you'll give away $1,000,000 if you actually can't afford to do so?
Get Professional Help
There will be additional details that you wouldn't want to overlook. Help with signage, banners, freebies for golfers and more, are things to not shove under the rug. Having industry professionals like US Hole In One is key. We help thousands of tournaments each year with signage, contests, and freebies for golfers. Visit our website for details.
So what are you waiting for? You already waited till the last minute so go out and plan that tournament! If you need help, you can always contact our representatives at 888-882-5440 to help you plan your tournament today!

According to him, the police affairs minister Mohammed Dingyadi has set up a 13-man ministerial project coordination committee to conduct the recruitment process, The Sun reports.
Members of the committee are expected to work out appropriate programmes and projects to accomplish the assigned priorities and deliverables.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Police Service Commission (PSC) announced that the recent issues it had against the police concerning appointments and promotions are being put to rest.

Ikechukwu Ani, the spokesperson of the PSC, issued the statement in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city, denying the report of a pending crisis between it and the NPF.

Report on Customer Feedback - Complaints, Compliments and Referrals to Local Government Ombudsman 2016/17 PDF 220 KB
To consider a report on the complaints, compliments and referrals to the Local Government Ombudsman for 2016/17.
Consideration was given to the report which summarised the formal feedback received from customers during 2016/17, together with a summary of the cases dealt with by the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO).
Details were given of the feedback received, broken down into compliments (1503), suggestions (148) and complaints (1603) as follows:
· The number of complaints had increased marginally from the previous year – 1603 in 2016/17 compared with 1565 in 2015/16. The increase was partly attributable to 112 complaints made to the Licensing Team as a result of a campaign by a third party, relating to the changes to the Hackney Carriage table of fares; interested parties were encouraged to submit complaints with a view to seeking recompense. None of these complaints were upheld.
· The number of recorded compliments was 1503, compared with 1855 in 2015/16 which related to Adult Services.
· The recorded suggestions (148 compared to 177 in 2015/16) were neither complaints nor compliments, but often suggested changes to policy or working practice.
· Whilst not formally recorded on the corporate feedback system, complaints from MP's on behalf of their constituents had reduced significantly (18 to 30) from 2015/16.
With regard to complaints all customers were offered the opportunity to appeal to the Local Government Ombudsman and the report included details on the decision notices issued to the Council.

Whistleblowing Arrangements PDF 284 KB
To consider a report on the number of 2016/17 reports and an update on a forthcoming independent review of the Council's whistleblowing arrangements.
Consideration was given to a report which outlined a breakdown of the number of reports received during 2016/17 and an update on a forthcoming independent review of the Council's whistleblowing arrangements.
Details were given on the reports received during 2016/17, broken down as follows:
· 6 did not fall under the scope of the policy and were therefore referred to the appropriate service/organisation for action;
· 2 were unsubstantiated following investigation;
· 1 was referred to Environmental Health for further investigation;
· 1 was upheld following investigation and appropriate remedial action taken;
· 2 where it was not possible to conclude the investigation as the officer concerned left the Council; and
· 1 referral is still subject to an ongoing investigation.
Appropriate remedial action will be taken to address any control weaknesses identified during this process.
This represents an 18.75% decrease in the total number of referrals when compared to those received in 2015/16. However, the previous figures were particularly high as they included 7 referrals relating to the same procurement issue, and, when these are discounted, the year on year figures are consistent.
With regard to the review of whistleblowing arrangements, details on the level of support that is to be provided to Cheshire East Council were highlighted.
It was reported that a full desk based review of current policy, procedures and supporting documents, is to be benchmarked against the Whistleblowing Commission's Code of Practice and a RAG rated report with recommendations and an action plan for improvement is to be provided.
This will be supported by a full communications plan, and is expected to go live early October.

Sometimes you have a full house with every room utilized and sometimes those rooms are vacated and left empty – especially true for empty nesters. Often people buy homes with extra rooms which sit empty until their purpose has been defined. The obvious choices are a home office, study or guest room. But if you think a little outside the box, that extra real estate can be an escape you may have not even considered! Read More >

Hi Anon,
A dull, achy felling over your right ovary may be an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs in the ovary. During the menstrual cycle, it is normal for the ovaries to make cysts. Most cysts are small and benign. (Benign means that they are not cancerous). But, the larger ones can cause pain and other problems. When there is sudden and severe pain due to a cyst, it may because of:
Bleeding—blood irritates the surrounding tissue and causes pain
Torsion—the cyst twist around, disrupting blood flow to the ovary
For more reading and information on Cysts, please visit our page:
If you think you may have an ovarian cyst, please schedule an appointment with your doctor.
Good Luck,
RosaSeptember 20, 2011 - 6:00am

Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for all time."
Deuteronomy 4:40 ESV
Laws aren't popular, but they're there for a reason. Take speed limits for example. We may want to go faster than we're allowed, but we know it's illegal for a reason: it's unsafe.
God's law is similar to the law of the land. It's there for the good of His people. We might protest that we're under grace and not under law. But the summary of the law is that we love God and others: we can't stop doing that just because we're under grace.
Thankfully, our salvation doesn't depend on our law keeping. But that doesn't mean to say we don't need to love God or other people. God still expects that of us, and gives us His Holy Spirit to help us to do so.
Think about it, which of the following is a better philosophy to build your life upon? Survival of the fittest, or loving others? One is an evolutionary worldview, the other is Christian. Which of those would you rather your neighbour's life was defined by?
"Oh Lord our God, we acknowledge that Your law is good and ask that You would help us to keep it. We praise You that even though we often fail You, there is full salvation in Your Son, in whose name we pray, amen"

The Parker Library blog explains how this Italian, illustrated book of the Holy Gospels came to be reunited with another object connected with Pope St. Gregory the Great earlier this year:
On Friday, January 15, 2016, the St Augustine Gospels- a 6th century gospel book that is reputed to have been sent with St Augustine on his mission from Pope Gregory the Great to convert the English people- was brought from Cambridge to Canterbury Cathedral for the day to serve as inspiration to the assembled Primates at an extraordinary meeting of the Anglican leadership. The goal was for the manuscript to serve as a physical reminder of the core principles of the church; based on long tradition, the words of the Gospels themselves, and the faith that unites all believers.
The visit was in conjunction with the loan of an ivory crozier which is venerated as a relic of Augustine's mentor, St (formerly Pope) Gregory, from the monastery of San Gregorio al Celio in Rome. These two items were displayed together in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral during the closing service of the meeting. Following the ceremony, Parker Library staff gave informative talks on the manuscript in the Cathedral library, which were attended by Cathedral staff and visitors. This was an extremely rare opportunity to see the 1,400 year old manuscript out from under glass, as it is typically only available to view in its case in the Parker Library exhibition on one day a month.
Note the parenthetical "(formerly Pope)"--Popes who are also canonized saints in the Catholic Church are referred to as "Pope Saint Insert Name Here": Pope St. Gregory the Great; Pope St. Pius V; Pope St. John Paul II. It's interesting that they are not referred to by their given names: Not Saint Gregorius Anicius; Saint Antonio Ghislieri or Saint Karol Józef Wojtyła. Their name as pope is like their name in religion; religious nuns and priests who are canonized are known by their religious names: St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, not St. Edith Stein; St. Therese of Lisieux, not St. Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin, etc. You might note that the Church of England includes Pope St. Gregory the Great on their calendar of "saints" on September 3, but he is referred to as "Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher of the Faith".
But back to the St. Augustine Gospels: they have had a special role in two papal visits, most recently in 2010:
The St Augustine Gospels—sometimes known as the Canterbury Gospels—are a sixth-century Gospel book of Italian provenance which may have been brought from Rome by St Augustine in 597 on his first mission to re-evangelize Britain. It is the oldest illustrated Latin Gospel book in existence, and has been in England longer than any other book. As a symbol of religion, history, and literacy it is one of the most evocative books in Christendom and upon it the Archbishops of Canterbury still take their oaths of office.
During the papal visit of 1982 these Gospels were given the place of honour at the ecumenical celebration in Canterbury Cathedral – enthroned on the chair of St Augustine, the cathedra or teaching seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, between Archbishop Robert Runcie and Pope John Paul II. Today they are to be venerated by Archbishop Rowan Williams and Pope Benedict XVI following the reading of a passage from the Gospel according to St Mark.
Pardon my historical irony: the Archbishops of Canterbury take their oath of office on a book sent to England by the Pontiff of the Catholic Church, who has been proclaimed a saint of the Catholic Church as Pope St. Gregory the Great? It seems to me that the St. Augustine Gospels suggest the strong connections between the universal Catholic Church and the Catholic Church in England, not the independence that Matthew Parker wanted to prove!

Attractions Lombok (Indonesia), what to see
On Lombok there is a sufficient number of natural and man-made attractions, so that you will not be bored during your vacation on the island. Although it is necessary to warn in advance sophisticated travelers that not all attractions can cause wild. Honestly, they are modest, but still have the character of "dilatasti" and "neosvoennost" numerous tourists.
Attractions scattered around the island (you can see them on the interactive map Lombok) and visit them yourself either by hired transport or by taxi. Easier and cheaper just to use one of the group tours, which in large quantities are available at travel agencies on the streets of the tourist areas of the island. You can also use the services of an experienced guide guide, which is quite in the same agencies, and to plan the itinerary for a private tour on your own. We have prepared an overview of the main attractions of Lombok, which will help you choose interesting tour, to make a route with a guide or independently to visit interesting places.
The main attraction of the island is mount rinjani (Mount Rinjani), part of the volcano and the location of the huge volcanic lake. For uphill very popular trekking trips. It should be restrained by the sleeve rushing into battle seasoned travelers wanting to conquer the summit: categorically should not do this on their own. Though the climb on mount rinjani is quite shallow and requires no special training, is not the same that to climb pjatisotmetrovyj mound. The height of the top – 3726 meters, and lifting it will take at least one day, but after all and will have to spend the night, and then go down. That's why everywhere on Lombok offers trekking a trekking guide and porters for two or three days. The program of hikes varies: from c up to the edge of the crater to a height of 2700 meters with admiring the beauty and finishing with the climb up to the crater rim, swimming in the lake and hot springs, and then rise to the highest point of the mountain. The cost of participation in this campaign – from 1000 rupees (about $ 111) up to 2,000 rupees. For the money, but the guide and porters you will receive a tent, sleeping bags and food. But don't forget to bring warm clothes: at the top the temperature even during the day rarely rise above zero.
Next attraction is the Gili Islands. A wonderful coral island with beautiful beaches and an interesting underwater world. Most popular – Trawangan, Meno and air, and they are all next to each other and not far from the coast of Lombok. They can enjoy diving, snorkeling and doing nothing. Even if you don't decide to stay at one of the hotels on the Gili Islands (there are really quite boring to spend many days in a row), then visit one of the Islands as a tourist attraction is a must. Read more about the Gili Islands here.
Still worth a visit on Lombok "Water Park Narmada" (Narmada water park, also Taman Narmada). It's not an amusement Park as you possibly can immediately think of. In the past, this water Park was used by members of the Royal family, especially in the dry season. The Park was built in the early 19th century by the king Anak Agung Gede Karang Asem Kingdom of Mataram Lombok.
In "the Narmada Water Park" is a Hindu temple Pura Kalasa, a swimming pool, "fountain of youth" water which prolongs youth, if you drink and wash her. The many lakes and springs in the Park take their water from mount Rinjani (Mount Rinjani). And in the Park there is a small old rest house, where spent his time, the king, when he wanted to rest and retire. The Park is very well maintained and beautiful. Many locals visit this place to relax. Park entry fee: 10 000 rupees (just over $ 1).
Another "water attraction of the island" - mayura water Palace (Mayura Water Palace). Note that this attraction is in quotes. This Palace was built in 1744 and was formerly the Palace of justice Bali Kingdom. In 1894, took place here a fierce battle between the Dutch and the Balinese people as a result of which the Palace was seriously damaged. Now here is a lake surrounded by a Park with statues, altars and guns. It is a favorite place of recreation for residents of Mataram. Access to the Park is open from 07:00 to 19:30, entrance fee.
On the island there are several traditional villages, each of which is more inherent to their specific craft. What else is good, visiting this village, you will be able to purchase crafts handmade products at significantly lower prices than in the resort areas.
So, traditional village, Sukarara (Sukarare Village) the most well-known textile Handicrafts. The village is even called the "village of weavers". Visiting the village, you can not only plunge into the atmosphere of a traditional village in Lombok, but also be able to observe the process on old looms. The village Pregasina (Pringgasela) is famous for its national clothes, also manufactured by hand. And in the village of Suranadi (Suradadi) artisans weave palm leaf baskets, bags, and more. Another village Getap famous blacksmith artists who in their work are still using the most primitive tools. In the village of Penujak (Penujak) from the red clay made utensils that are fired in traditional kilns.
Discover the sights of Lombok will be incomplete if not to visit one of the many temples of the island, including the two most important:
The Pura Meru temple (Pura Meru) – the largest temple on Lombok. This Hindu temple built in 1720. In the outer court of the temple there are huge wooden drums, the sound of which invites believers at the ceremony. The courtyard is located 33 small shrines to the gods Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. The temple is open from 08:00 to 17:00.
Another temple, or rather a temple complex of Pura Lingsar (Lingsar Pura), built in 1714 – the most sacred place in Lombok. The temple complex serves two religions: Balinese Hinduism and Islam three three "vectors of the Body" (Wektu Body), each of which on the territory built his temple. The complex is open from 08:00 to 18:00.
The entrance to most temples in Lombok free (including two described), but donations are very welcome.
Also in the vicinity of Lombok recommend you to visit the waterfalls, the most famous of which are:
The Sindang Gila waterfall (Sindang Gila), which is located approximately at the height of 600 m above sea level. Waterfall Kelep Tiu (Tiu Kelep), which is quite difficult to reach, but at the foot of which is a deep natural water pool where you can swim.
The falls of the Betar Linlang (Betara Lenjang) can see only trained climbers with the necessary equipment accompanied by a local guide.

It's funny that you are going out of your way to say that "But the point is, if I'm taking Kershaw in the first round..."
You think I don't know what the "point" of what you and RJ is saying is? You can keep repeating the argument, but obviously I disagree with you there.
It's hard for me to continue to argue for my point because to be quite honest I would never take Kershaw in the 1st either. My take is that if I'm taking Kershaw in the 1st then I'm playing catch up on offense for the next 6 rounds. If no one gets on board with that, that's fine, just my own opinion. I can see what you and RJ are getting at with the all or nothing argument, I just don't think it's the be all end all of "Kershaw Drafting Strategy".
We are all in agreement then.

Entertainment Editor
Snowflakes, red ribbons and the sentiment of joy seem to cover the period of time from the day after Halloween to Christmas. Autumn ceases to exist in the media's eye, while winter swoops in and covers the American media landscape for the next two months. Every year, this holiday season creeps into stores and media outlets earlier and earlier.
From traditional holiday-themed commercials, and most broadcast sitcoms showing their holiday specials, the season spreads to any and all modes of media and communication. However, there is one form of media that the holiday seems to embrace, like a long lost old friend: film. Nearly everyone has a favorite holiday film. Of course, that is a generalization, but holiday films permeate further than popular culture. Some holiday films have become traditions to watch and are always shown during this time of the year.
To understand the popularity and permeability of these films, their history should be examined. Of course, "Its A Wonderful Life" is one of the classics. Since 1947, this film has been a holiday tradition for many families and individuals.
"I need to watch it every single year on Christmas Eve," said avid film buff Kimberly Calvert "In my family, there hasn't been a year that I can remember that we didn't sit down together and watch the movie." To many families, this film holds a special place as a solid classic.
Throughout the history of film, there have been holiday films during this time of year. According to an article on traditional holiday film, from the earliest silent film beginnings, themes of holiday tidings and cheer have been featured in film. From the silent era on, holiday films have come out every year, right to this year's "Meet the Coopers," which is a typical holiday and family-themed film. The actors may change, and the screenplays might differ in the order in which they present the scenes, but for the most part these holiday movies tell the same stories year in and year out. The holiday film is a vast genre that pushes together themes of joy and happiness in order to portray the image of a perfect, ideal holiday.
"Don't get me wrong, I like holiday movies, but there aren't enough movies about other holidays," said Myra Patel, a radiology student at County College of Morris. "I love the warm and fuzzy feelings about the season, family and togetherness, but what about Kwanzaa? What about Hanukkah?" Patel's voice is not alone in standing out among the sea of red, gold, Santa Claus and snowflakes.
Holiday movies as an entity are cliche, yes. When observing holiday-themed films over the last 10 years, it is plainly obvious that there is a lack of diversity in holidays portrayed. With Adam Sandler's "Eight Crazy Nights" the public had the rare opportunity to see a Hanukkah-themed film released as a major theatrical event. Unfortunately, that film's performance in the 2002 holiday season was abysmal, which probably made studio executives believe that other films about the holiday would not perform well.
On the flip side, there are those who believe that the holiday film genre is alive and well, producing beautifully crafted and wholesome films that project positive images for the holiday season.
"There is no mistake that when you watch a Christmas or holiday themed movie that you get a sort of warm and fuzzy feeling, said Tessa Cammarino, a student of history at CCM. "I know my family watches "Elf" together to get in the holiday mood, right after Thanksgiving,"
When it comes to holiday films, traditions and emotions take control and create a feeling of comfort for many different people. The holiday season comes with togetherness, family and the end of a year. It is a time of looking back, progressing and looking forward to a new future with a new year on the horizon.
As a genre, holiday films are a keystone in the filmic fabric. They encompass a time period, yet they each show its viewers a little piece of the values and important feelings of the era in which they were made. Holiday films are special, as they show a special time of the year for everyone on earth. No matter the religion or race, holiday films have the potential to create a sentiment of hope and joy in any of their viewers.

Are you looking for the best water distiller to make distilled water at home?
You might use to buying bottled distilled water at a grocery store. Of course, you need to haul bottles from the grocery store. However, bottled distilled water costs you more and tiring bottles are really exhausting. What's worse, is the quality of bottled distilled water good enough? Actually, it is so difficult to answer this question, because we cannot say whether it is bad or not with naked eyes.
After using them, you also have to deal with these empty bottles.
Well, if you feel tired and want to easily get pure distilled water at home, a home water distiller will be a good choice. Such a distiller allows you to make distilled water at home. And you can get endless potable water. You don't have to haul bottles or get rid of empty bottles. Plus, such a distiller can save you a lot of money in the long run. Considering the water quality, such a water distiller is really a must-have appliance at home.
If you are just looking for a distiller, you can consider the Megahome Countertop Water Distiller MH943TWS. As one of the most popular and best countertop water distiller for home use, many people highly spoke of its performance. If you haven't bought a distiller, it is really a good choice. This distiller is reasonably priced, well-made and of high quality, so you will be surprised at its outstanding performance.
You may have many questions. What features do make this distiller become so popular? How to use it? How much does it cost? Where to buy it? Does it need to be cleaned on a regular basis? Don't worry about these questions. We will discuss them one by one. I hope this review can help you find this one is the best water distiller you can rely on.
Impressive Features of this Megahome Water Distiller?
High Quality Materials
The key parts (the cover, boiling chamber and condensing coils) of this distiller are made of high quality food grade stainless steel. And outside of this model is enamel coated steel. It seems it is plastic, but it is not. Because of the high quality materials it uses, it is strong enough and very durable.
And it comes with a glass collection bottle. After being condensed, water passes through its glass-lined nozzle and finally drops into the glass collection bottle. Even the lid and handle are made of safety material: food-grade polypropylene.
During the whole distillation process, the supply water, steam and distilled never come into contact with plastic. This is great. Plastic tends to release bad chemical into the water. Due to the stainless steel construction and glass collection bottle, distilled water is safe.
Ease of Use
Such a home countertop water distiller is so simple to use. First, you need to fill its chamber with tap water or well water, and then place the glass collection bottle in place, and finally push its start button to start the distillation process. And you will find it is so easy to make pure distilled water at home.
The water in the chamber becomes less and less gradually. When the boiling chamber is empty, this distiller shuts off automatically. And this also means you don't need to wait around. When you come back a few hours, you will get pure distilled water in the glass bottle.
Compact Design
Due to its lightweight design, as a countertop water distiller, it doesn't take up much counter space. Also thanks to its lightweight design, you can also take it anywhere you like to go. For example, you can take it when you travel, so you can drink distilled water anywhere.
Pros and Cons
When buying a distiller, reading other people's reviews is really a good habit and this can help you know the pros and cons of this megahome water distiller. I have read many customer reviews and most of them are positive. This means most people spoke highly of its performance.
- Works quietly like a running computer fan
- Water smells and tastes great
- Results in plenty of sediment left in the bottom of the chamber, which means it performs outstanding
- Offers enough pure water for use
- Doesn't need to buy bottled water again, preventing plastic landfill trash
- Doesn't touch any plastic during distillation

- The cooling fan is a little loud
- A gallon of distilled water takes about 4 to 6 hours
- Only produces 1 gallon of distilled per cycle
- Needs manually refilling
- The glass jug is heavy when it is full of distilled water
- Be careful for the glass jug
- Increases your electric bill and gives off heat
- Removes all the minerals
- Carbon filters should be replaced on a regular basis
- Doesn't have a timer to set it when to start or stop
- Regular cleaning should be done to remove buildup in the boiling chamber
Why do you need to make distilled water at home?
When it comes to water quality, there are plenty of reasons that we need to have such a home water distiller, so that we can make distilled water at home. Here are some of them:
- Distilled water is ideal for CPAP therapy machines, because of its super purity
- Distilled water doesn't contain any impurities and bad smell and taste are also removed.
- Distilled water doesn't contain any minerals, so mineral buildup in irons, humidifiers and essential oil diffusers can be effectively prevented.
- When it comes to making baby formula, distilled water is the best choice, because it doesn't pollute the baby formula.
- You also can use cold distilled water to water house plants. And it is also ideal for seed germination.
- Bad taste in tap water will destroy the special flavor of tea, coffee and ice cubes. If you used distilled water to make tea, coffee and ice cubes, you will get a better taste.
- Also thanks no minerals in distilled water, it is great for car radiators and batteries.
- Distilled water is commonly used for Neti Pots, because this can help not contaminate our sinuses any more.
- If there is a boil water advisory in your town, this means water contains protozoa, bacteria and viruses. Of course, you can use an electric kettle to boil water, or you can use a distiller to kill and get rid of their bodies completely.
In a word, because of the superb purity, distilled water has many benefits.
How does distillation work?
Distilled water is regarded as the purest water in the world, because water distillation is the most effective way to get pure water. A water filter filters out contaminants from water, while distillation remove the water from pollutants. And different types of water filtration systems have their limitations, which means they cannot be effective to all the toxins, while water distillation process happing anywhere is the same.
The water in the boiling chamber of the distiller is heated to boil, and then the liquid water turns into steam. Steam will rise, while other contaminants are also in the liquid water in the chamber. Biological pathogens like protozoa, bacteria and viruses will be killed when the water temperature reaches to the boiling point.
The hot steam rises and it will be condensed in the condensing coils. And then steam turns into liquid water again. Finally the distilled water will be collected in the collection bottle, while other contaminants are still left in the boiling chamber.
Therefore, after a cycle of distillation, you will find there is some bad stuff in the bottom of the chamber and you need to get rid of the bad stuff.
How to use this Megahome water distiller?
It is pretty easy to use it. Open its lid and fill its boiling chamber with water and put its lid on. Place its collection bottle under the nozzle where water will come from. Plug it in, and finally push the start button.
How much distilled water can this unit make per day?
This megahome distiller can make about 1 gallon of distilled water in 5.5 hours. Therefore, if you keep it running all the time, you can get about 4 gallons of distilled water per day.
Does it get rid of fluoride from the water
Of course, yes. It can remove most.
Does it remove lead from the water?
Yes. Distillation is one of the most effective ways to remove lead, because lead will not be steamed.
Does it remove all the minerals in the water?
Yea. This is true. All the minerals cannot be steamed at a water boiling point. They are left in the boiling chamber. This means distilled water doesn't contain any minerals.
Whether it is good or bad is up for debate. Actually we can get the most part of minerals from our food, so most people think drinking distilled water is not harmful. However, some people think the healthy minerals in our water are beneficial to our health.
However, if you feel worried about the lack of minerals in water, you can remedy it in some ways.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice
- Add Celtic sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
- Remineralize the distilled water by using a product like Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops
See can you drink distilled water
How much electricity does it use?
The power of this unit is at 560 watts. Generally, making 1 gallon of distilled water needs 5 to 6 hours. This means it uses 2.8 to 3.36 kilowatt-hour for each gallon of water. If your current electric bill rate is about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, 1 gallon of distilled water will cost you $0.34 to $0.4. If you need 1 gallon of water per day, you need to pay $10.2 to $12 per month, or $122.4 to $144 per year.
Compared to buying bottled water to drink, using a distiller to get clean water is much cheaper. For example, if you buy bottled distiller water on Amazon, each gallon of water will cost you about $4 to $5.
How often to change the filter?
It is recommended to change the filter every 30 gallons of water that has been produced. It comes with 6 filters. After that, you can buy some on Amazon.
Do I need to assemble it?
Yes, but it is every easy. Actually, it is fully assembled. The only thing you need to do is to attach the glass-lined nozzle with an activated carbon filter.
How to clean a Megahome water distiller?
Cleaning the distiller means removing the bad stuff in the boiling chamber. Here are the steps:
- Pour water into the chamber
- Add 1 or 2 tablespoon of the citric acid cleaner into the chamber too
- Plug it in and push the start button
- Wait for 20 minutes
- Unplug it and let the hot water cool down
- Wipe out any residue and pour out the dirty water
- Rinse for several times
If you want to save some money, you can add 1/2 cup white vinegar instead, or add 1/4 cup white vinegar with 1 teaspoon of the cleaner. And it is highly recommended to clean it on a regular basis. How often to clean it depends on the quality of your tap water and how often you use it to make distilled water. Generally, you need to clean it once per week, or a lot of buildup will grow.
Dose it take much counter space?
Due to its compact design, this unit is about 10" X 10". Counting in the glass collection bottle, it is about 19" X 10".
Why does it need an activated charcoal filter?
VOCs cannot be completely removed by distillation. They will be steamed together with water. Therefore, the use of an activated charcoal water filter can remove VOCs from the distilled water.
Does it come with a warranty?
This best distiller comes with a 1-year warranty and it also has a 30-day money back policy.
Any other useful tips?
+Don't rely on the automatic shutting off
When there is not any water in the boiling chamber, it will shut off automatically. However, this can cause a lot of buildup in the chamber, making it not easy to clean. If you have a timer, you can set the time before one cycle is terminated automatically. This means there is some water in the chamber and the residue can be easily poured out of the chamber
+Use hot water to shorten the distillation time
You can use hot tap water to shorten the distillation time, because the first step of a distiller is to heat the water. And using hot water can shorten the time.
What comes in the box?
This unit comes with everything you need. Besides the distiller itself and the glass collection bottle, it also comes with 6 charcoal carbon filter sachets and the cleaner.
Where to buy this Megahome water distiller?
It is highly recommended to buy this megahome water distiller on Amazon because of the reasonable price, customer reviews and a good delivery service.
This megahome water distiller is well-made and easy to use. And it is really a good way to make distilled water at home. If you need a budget-friendly water distiller, this one is one of the best choices.
All the parts touch water are made of stainless steel or glass, so plastic doesn't touch water. Therefore, it is safe to use. With this distiller, you don't need to buy bottled water again, which means it is good for our environment.
You also can consider the following megahome water distillers:
Megahome MH943SBSGBOT
The Megahome MH943SBSGBOT is similar to MH943TWS, but the outside of this distiller is made of stainless steel too. Other functions are the same.
Megahome MH943SWS
The Megahome MH943SWS is also similar to Megahome MH943SBSGBOT and MH943TWS. The difference is also the outside and the colors.
