to keep on the band wagon of talking about double straps, has anyone tried the Plemons leather doubles?
introduced here
They are supposed to be made by messengers in sf, and of the highest quality.
They are listed at $70 + tax

non-laminated leather straps for $70? no thanks.
who cares if they're made by couriers in san francisco? they could by made by magical elves in a far away kingdom, they'll still stretch.
highest quality what?
aesthetically pleasing, yes, but there are more durable and secure options. looks arent everything.

what is the problem with stretching? As long as they don't stretch to the point of breaking. And they are actually quite thick, thicker than toshi's as far as my understanding goes. They shouldn't stretch much.
And the clasps seems like a good idea, absolutely no slipping.
a few of my courier friends a shop owner say there really just a step above soma's. Now Stretching is bad because... For example try riding sf hills and have one snap end of story for you. I'd rather have little or no stretch vs non proven straps. Just save for toshi's or similar straps all I say is looks are cheap, quality can save your life
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

I ride clipless, and would never ride them with out a brake. Not that this has anything to do with brakeless riding.

Imagine a leather belt. Those stretch over time just being wrapped around your waist. Now take that idea and apply it to fixed riding. Those things will stretch out in no time. And they'll stretch in the holes, which is worse.
they simply do not hold a candle to toshis, kashimax, or exustars. a step above somas, like someone else pointed out, but not worth $70. they're boutique straps.
for sure, I was just curious. Not that I am in the market for straps right now, but I like to have ideas for what I might want in the future when I upgrade bike parts or can suggest some to friends. Thanks for the info.
And I wouldn't ride clipless on the street. It is too busy and I don't want to have my feet that stuck to my bike. When I start traveling I will switch over for the efficiency and distance comfort, but in town clips and straps all the way.
that buckle design is hilarious.
What about nylon double straps? I know they're not as fancy as leather, but you don't have to worry about stretching or any of that.
you've broken toshis (with regular, non-abusive handling)? pictures or GTFO.
Any sort of belt-buckle design for a toestrap scares me...i can't imagine what those buckle holes would look like after any sort of aggressive riding. Especially non-laminated leather. But okay, I'll agree they're pretty.
I've had nylon straps slip on me while riding which is the worst thing...I dunno if there is such thing as "high-quality" nylon straps vs. "low-quality" ones, but either way I'm sticking with laminated leather doubles.
I already have a set of nylons that I'm running with plastic wellgo cages now. And they don't stay in place very well at all, and I don't really ride agressively at all. I'm thinking of buying a pair of those synthetic laminated comet singles and making doublizers on my own out of like an old shoe or something (just a thought, open to suggestions) and making a like a leather/nylon double with the leather being the strap closest to the ankle. Anyone done this before?
But just saying. These things could happen.
Because only really good straps are foolproof from anything that could possibly happen, other than its intended purpose as foot retention on a bicycle.
as a drummer, I can tell you that sticks break suddenly and regularly.
quality double straps do not -- they should last at least a decade. that is, of course, if you dont **** them up via user error. and unlike sticks, there is a vast difference between cheap straps and the higher end straps. once you go quality, you'll never back down to the crap. and cheap straps need to be replaced every so often -- eventually the high end straps pay for themselves. buy once, cry once.
not to mention, the high end straps simply feel better.
If money is an issue, just get exustars. $30-50 depending on where you buy them from. money well spent.

JACK WEST A HULKING escapee from the state mental hospital, described as a' "very dangerous" child molester and kidnaper, yesterday nearly hitchhiked his way to complete freedom on an Arizona highway. But blind bad luck and lack of a ride led to the capture of 32-year-old Lyle Trip-lett, ending a day and a half of terror for Valley women and children old enough to understand the danger. Triplett, 6 feet 2 and weighing 230 pounds, was grabbed in Salome by Phoenix detective Lt. Robert Flack and Yuma'County Sheriff's Deputy Floyd Balliett. By a quirk of fate, Lt. Flack and the three Phoenix detectives, Capt. Richard Harrington, Richard Golden and Ren-ben Berry, were in western Arizona on another undisclosed investigation when Flack was pot on the escapee's trail. Triplett, who surrendered without a fight, told officers "the opportunity was there" so he escaped Wednesday morning from Arizona State Hospital to visit his 90-year-old aunt in California. Hospital officials had told Maricopa County sheriff's deputies that Triplett escaped when guards left him alone in an unlocked car on the hospital grounds for an instant. BUT TRIPLETT said after his capture that his only guard was a woman hospital employe who also had custody of two other mental patients. The hospital last night declined comment on Triplett's version of who was guarding him. The bespectacled fugitive, described as mentally retarded, was seized at the Mountain Pass truck stop in Salome. He worked a shift as kitchen helper there Wednesday night when he couldn't get a ride west. Cafe owner Alma Henckel recognized him from a description in The Arizona Republic and called authorities. Flack and Balliett arrested Triplett in the cafe employes' sleeping quarters.

He quit the Interior Committee late in his term to take a place on the Armed Services Committee. Sen. Carl Hayden, D-Ariz., then asserted his seniority to claim a seat on the Interior Committee to keep Arizona's hand in the drafting of all Western water bills.

Later, in the day the parks board accepted a sublease on the 13,000 ares and granted a concession to McCulloch Properties, Inc., for commercial recreational developments on 1,000 acres of the tract. The sublease to the parks board was issued by State Land Commissioner O. M. Lassen, who leased the land from Interior Secretary Stewart Udall. Under the concession McCul loch Properties will pay the state 2 per cent of gross receipts from the comjany's motel, dining, camping,'picnicking, bathing and boating facilities which it has or will build on the land. The firm must also invest $875,-000 in developments within 15 years. "I'm in the land disposal business when it comes to outdoor recreation," Udall declared. He recalled that last year he turned over five large regional park areas to Maricopa County, and said he hopes that Arizona will develop a good state park system. GOV.

It recalled one of the most poignant chapters in English history. Inside the small lead coffin were the bones of Anne Mow- bray, duchess of York, who married Richard, younger son of King Edward IV, in a dazzling medieval ceremony 487 years ago yesterday. Anne was just over 5 when she wed the prince, who- was 4%. Ann died in 1481 at the age of 8 years, 11 months. The prince was murdered later, history tells, with his brother, Edward, in the grim Towerof London.

II. In stressing economics along with the heed for economic-military assistance, to "those who would be free abroad," Johnson hopes to get congressional approval without the deep money cuts imposed by the lawmakers in some past years. HOWEVER, in a special 3,-500-word aid message, the President left the way open for fur- ther money requests later this year "if situations should arise which r e q u i r e additional amounts" of U.S. assistance to advance vital U.S. interests. Specifically, in earmarking more than $500 million for Red-pressed South Vietnam and Laos in the fiscal year starting July 1, Johnson asked for an open-ended military - economic authorization for Vietnamese aid. This would allow him to go to Congress directly for additional appropriations for the antiguerrilla campaign without first getting authorizing legislation. The aid program faces an uncertain future at legislative hands this year. Last year Johnson sought $3.5 billion and . got 3.25 billion, a comparatively modest! reduction. The record' administration request was $8.5 billion in 1952, and Congress has* sometimes lopped off more than $1 billion. REP. OTTO Passman, D-La., the most persistent and effective trimmer of foreign aid funds,, didn't issue any sweeping criticism of the President's proposals, as he has done frequently in the past. Sen. J.

Fulbright, D-Arfc., the Senate foreign relations chairman who has guided many (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1) Ike bombing and strafing raids are aimed at demonstrating to Red China and North Vietnam that the United States does not Intend to back out of its commitments in S o lit h east Asia.

Two jets were shot down by what were believed to be much improved antiaircraft guns during the Wednesday strike near the town of Ban Ban. Their pilots were rescued by helicopters with fighter escorts. THOSE TWO planes, an F100 Super Sabre and an F105 Thun-derchief, were the only ones mentioned in the Defense Department announcement of the incident. It was learned, however, that there were 18 to 24 heavily armed fighters in the jet force, most of which attacked bridge targets on key Route 7 while the others flew protective cover. Route 7 runs west from North Vietnam to the Laotian Plain of Jars through an area dominated by the pro-Communist Pathet Leo. Branches turn south and carry troops and supplies to Vietcong guerrillas in South Vietnam.

By MICHAEL PADEV Republic. Foreign Editor - WASHINGTON-A right, step in fat right direction. This is the best way to describe President Johnson's foreign aid message, sent.to Congress yesterday. First, President Johnson has cut down considerably the request of foreign aid supporters and has presented to Congress tiM lowest for- ��" U.S. Output Hits Record Analysis eign aid bill in the history of the program. The total sum for both military and economic aid stands at $3.38 billion. But it is certain that Congress will make further cuts, and it is possible that we might finally get an; aid authorization for less ttian.-$3 billion. THOUGH this foreign aid is still too high, the cuts are very welcome. Most welcome of all is the policy of the Johnson administration in favor of lower and lower foreign aid appropriations each year. The tendency of previous administration was the opposite, each year request for foreign aid became higher and higher. Second, the bulk.of the economic part of the program is devoted to "development loans" (a total of $2.21 billion, including Latin America). Most of these development loans are "easy" loans, i.e., they are made on easy terms. But they are not. out-and-out grants, as previous economic assistance used to be. MOST MILITARY assistance ($1.17 billion) continues to be allocated on a grant basis. This is inevitable, as very few countries in' the world can afford to buy modern arms or maintain modern equipped armies. Third, the program points out the value 'of private enterprise in assistance overseas. Tax credits are given to U. S. firms which maintain their own "for eign aid" programs abroad This is, actually, the best kind (Continued on Page 2, Col. 4) tm w The nation's economy expanded by 6.5 per cent in 1984 and reached a total of JB22.3 billion, the.

The gross national product, total of all private and public goods and services, rose to an annual rate of $633.5 billion in the final three months of the year, an increase of $5 billion over the previous quarter. The rise was smaller than the rate of increase for the first nine months of the year because . of automobile strikes in the final months.

If you've followed Google's announcements at I/O 2016, one stand-out from the keynote was the mention of a Tensor Processing Unit, or TPU (not to be confused with thermoplastic urethane). I was hoping to learn more about this TPU, however Google is currently holding any architectural details close to their chest. More will come later this year, but for now what we know is that this is an actual processor with an ISA of some kind. What exactly that ISA entails isn't something Google is disclosing at this time - and I'm curious as to whether it's even Turing complete - though in their blog post on the TPU, Google did mention that it uses "reduced computational precision." It's a fair bet that unlike GPUs...

Calnith Sol NeverWind Location-Beach:
"Well it's nice to meet you Olivia and Kenshin,"
Calnith said with a smile as he then pet his Houndoom. He wondered why they were out so late wearing so little. Must have been enjoying themselves so much they lost track of time or something. There was a nice breeze that blew some of his hair into his face. The memory of catching KingClaw popped back up into his head when he looked at the ocean water. Man was that such a long time ago and a lot of things had changed this then.
"It seems a bit late to be enjoying the beach anymore and when it comes to pokemon I've heard there are Tynamos around here which are pretty strong Pokemon since they can avoid their type weakness with their levitate ability,"
He commented as he thought about it. Catching a Tynamo would probably help deversitise his team but he already had enough Pokemon to train. He was lost in his thoughts for a moment almost forgetting what Olivia had asked.
"Oh me? I'm just having a stroll around the island before I go back to the academy and go to sleep. Recently though my Metang evolved and I caught a Skorupi,"
The red haired teen said as he released the newly evolved Metagross and the newly caught Skorupi. As the Metagross appeared it looked to Olivia with a bored expression on its face before it then tucked it's legs in and floated over to Calnith. Calnith then stepped onto the Metagross now floating a bit above the ground with it.
"This is Colossus and the Skorupi is Razor,"
He said introducing his Pokemon.
"So find any good Pokemon?"
He asked as Colossus then started to spin around like a top just to annoy Calnith. The Metagross stopped once Calnith stomped on his head.

Actress Shabana Azmi's left hand will be in a cast for six to eight weeks to repair a fractured wrist.
"I've fractured my wrist in South Africa. My hand would be in a cast for the next six to eight weeks," said the incapacitated but upbeat actress.
In March 2010, the formidable actress tripped and fell on the steps of her home. She had fractured her left leg then. But Shabana looks at the humour in it.
"It was my left leg three years ago. Now it's my left wrist. Trust me these lefty accidents have nothing to do with my Leftist leanings," she said.
Joking about her setback, Shabana says it is not as big a hurdle as the fractured leg.
"It's my wrist. And so far I've been walking on my legs. Farhan Akhtar says 'May your fracture 'wrist' in peace'. I wrist my case," she added.

The fitness based game is already a runaway (ha) success in Japan, where it has sold over a million units in just over a month.
Wii Fit users hope to improve their body mass indexes (BMI) and general fitness through standing on the balance board and performing exercises like push ups, yoga, aerobics, heading soccer balls and ski jumps.

So nap attempt # 4 just failed. This is really getting old. My 9 week old LO will not stay asleep for naps. He is so tired but has only slept for 15-30� minutes here and there today. He falls aleep inmy arms after a bottle and I wait a bit to lay him down. He just keeps waking up shortly after. I can't hold him for naps. Something has to give.
When he wakes up he is sleepy and getting hungry but not ready for a ful bottle so I fix him a small one to get him back to sleep. This messes up the feeding schedule too.
I don't know what to do!

Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff returned to practice on Monday as he continues to rehab a high ankle sprain.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn't sure if Ratliff will be ready for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
"I watched him out there today," Jones said. "It's possible. But I can't tell you that one way or the other. He's being very aggressive on it. He's making really good progress. Now, is it the smart thing to do? Where he plays is very demanding. Plus you got a lot of flak going on in there. You need to be at a high level of healthy with your wheels inside there. I'm sure that will weigh into it more importantly, just where he is opposed to another week, what that would do for us."
Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh missed practice today because of concussion-like symptoms.

How to Eat a Chicken Wing
Why oh why didn't I come across this video before I went to that BBQ party with loads and loads of chicken wings! Anyway, this is so cool. Now if only someone would figure out how to get the meat out of the other end of the chicken wing (not the drum stick).
Hmmm suddenly I'm hungry for some chicken wings.

Depleted Wales beat Macedonia
Wales beat Macedonia 1-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium. Simon Church was the scorer, and Aaron Ramsey missed a late penalty.
Wales beat Macedonia 1-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium. Simon Church was the scorer, and Aaron Ramsey missed a late penalty.
Wales manager Chris Coleman says victory over Macedonia was his most enjoyable - but has changed nothing regarding his future in the job.
Wales were missing 11 players from Coleman's initial squad selection - but managed to secure a first win in five games, thanks to Simon Church's goal.
Captain Aaron Ramsey missed a late penalty at the Cardiff City Stadium.
"I enjoyed the win tonight more than any other because there has been a lot said and we were up against it", Coleman said.
"Had we lost this game, I would have been out the door, no doubt."
"The contract will be talked about but nothing has changed. I am not sure what anyone can do if we haven't got our best players all the time. It would make no difference what manager is sitting here in front of you."
"We now face a huge test on Tuesday against one of the best teams on the planet in Belgium and I am not looking beyond that."
A generally dry night with clear spells in the north. Showers will push in to the south by the early hours!
Finley Thomas was a "lovely, happy beautiful baby" and changed in the months leading up to his death, a court has heard.
There will be more Welsh athletes than ever before, at this year's World Powerlifting Championships in Texas in June.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

How can I best write a query that selects 10 rows randomly from a total of 600k?
A great post handling several cases, from simple, to gaps, to non-uniform with gaps.
For most general case, here is how you do it:
This supposes that the distribution of ids is equal, and that there can be gaps in the id list. See the article for more advanced examples
I am getting fast queries (around 0.5 seconds) with a slow cpu, selecting 10 random rows in a 400K registers MySQL database non-cached 2Gb size. See here my code: Fast selection of random rows in MySQL
From book :
Choose a Random Row Using an Offset
Still another technique that avoids problems found in the preceding alternatives is to count the rows in the data set and return a random number between 0 and the count. Then use this number as an offset when querying the data set
Use this solution when you can't assume contiguous key values and you need to make sure each row has an even chance of being selected.
How to select random rows from a table:
From here: Select random rows in MySQL
A quick improvement over "table scan" is to use the index to pick up random ids.
Well if you have no gaps in your keys and they are all numeric you can calculate random numbers and select those lines. but this will probably not be the case.
So one solution would be the following:
which will basically ensure that you get a random number in the range of your keys and then you select the next best which is greater. you have to do this 10 times.
however this is NOT really random because your keys will most likely not be distributed evenly.
It's really a big problem and not easy to solve fulfilling all the requirements, MySQL's rand() is the best you can get if you really want 10 random rows.
There is however another solution which is fast but also has a trade off when it comes to randomness, but may suit you better. Read about it here: How can i optimize MySQL's ORDER BY RAND() function?
Question is how random do you need it to be.
Can you explain a bit more so I can give you a good solution.
For example a company I worked with had a solution where they needed absolute randomness extremely fast. They ended up with pre-populating the database with random values that were selected descending and set to different random values afterwards again.
If you hardly ever update you could also fill an incrementing id so you have no gaps and just can calculate random keys before selecting... It depends on the use case!
Its very simple and single line query.
I used this http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/mysql/order-by-rand/ posted by Riedsio (i used the case of a stored procedure that returns one or more random values):
In the article he solves the problem of gaps in ids causing not so random results by maintaining a table (using triggers, etc...see the article); I'm solving the problem by adding another column to the table, populated with contiguous numbers, starting from 1 (edit: this column is added to the temporary table created by the subquery at runtime, doesn't affect your permanent table):
In the article i can see he went to great lengths to optimize the code; i have no ideea if/how much my changes impact the performance but works very well for me.
I needed a query to return a large number of random rows from a rather large table. This is what I came up with. First get the maximum record id:
Then substitute that value into:
Where max is the maximum record id in the table and n is the number of rows you want in your result set. The assumption is that there are no gaps in the record id's although I doubt it would affect the result if there were (haven't tried it though). I also created this stored procedure to be more generic; pass in the table name and number of rows to be returned. I'm running MySQL 5.5.38 on Windows 2008, 32GB, dual 3GHz E5450, and on a table with 17,361,264 rows it's fairly consistent at ~.03 sec / ~11 sec to return 1,000,000 rows. (times are from MySQL Workbench 6.1; you could also use CEIL instead of FLOOR in the 2nd select statement depending on your preference)
Here is a game changer that may be helpfully for many;
I have a table with 200k rows, with sequential id's, I needed to pick N random rows, so I opt to generate random values based in the biggest ID in the table, I created this script to find out which is the fastest operation:
The results are:
Based in this results, order desc is the fastest operation to get the max id,
FYI: To get 10 random rows from a 200k table, it took me 1.78 ms (including all the operations in the php side)
If you have just one Read-Request
Combine the answer of @redsio with a temp-table (600K is not that much):
And then take a version of @redsios Answer:
If the table is big, you can sieve on the first part:
If you have many read-requests
This solution discriminates the 'edge rows' with the highest and the lowest random_sortorder, so rearrange them in intervals (once a day).
All the best answers have been already posted (mainly those referencing the link http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/mysql/order-by-rand/).
I want to pinpoint another speed-up possibility - caching. Think of why you need to get random rows. Probably you want display some random post or random ad on a website. If you are getting 100 req/s, is it really needed that each visitor gets random rows? Usually it is completely fine to cache these X random rows for 1 second (or even 10 seconds). It doesn't matter if 100 unique visitors in the same 1 second get the same random posts, because the next second another 100 visitors will get different set of posts.
When using this caching you can use also some of the slower solution for getting the random data as it will be fetched from MySQL only once per second regardless of your req/s.
Another simple solution would be ranking the rows and fetch one of them randomly and with this solution you won't need to have any 'Id' based column in the table.
You can change the limit value as per your need to access as many rows as you want but that would mostly be consecutive values.
However, if you don't want consecutive random values then you can fetch a bigger sample and select randomly from it. something like ...
I Use this query:
query time:0.016s
Use the below simple query to get random data from a table.
This is how I do it:
I like it because does not require other tables, it is simple to write, and it is very fast to execute.
I guess this is the best possible way..

This scarf is absolutely beautiful. After purchasing it, I looked up "backstrap looming" and was amazed at the time and skill it takes to make these scarves. It is well worth the money. I also love that this item is part of the "fair trade" association. I feel in a small way I am helping people by purchasing this scarf.
Rich coloring that was accurate to the description. Seems to be well crafted. A little shorter than I expected but will work out.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
- How accurate was the sizing? Yes
I just received this scarf along with the seafoam color. Both are exceptional. I would have preferred them bit wider, as they are slightly narrow as scarves go.. The length is adequate, not too long. I just ordered the other colors because I will regret not doing so once they sell out. Even though they are smaller in size, these scarves make a bold statement by their quality, color and texture. Definitely a keeper.

The district has been working on a leadership sustainability plan that involves restructuring the organizational chart to improve support at the building level in order to drive high-quality instruction to increase student growth and achievement. These changes are based on recommendations and benchmarking that are included in a recent report.
Given our changing emphasis in principals as "instructional leaders," the district is replacing the Associate Superintendent structure with eight Instructional Leadership Director (ILD) positions reporting to the Deputy Superintendent. Best practice suggests that there should be no more than 15 schools reporting to a single leader.
Dr. Phyllis Lovett is the lead elementary instructional leadership director. Prior to this position, Lovett served as associate superintendent for elementary schools and previously and also as executive assistant to the associate superintendent for elementary schools. She spent two years as principal at Gilcrease Middle School and 15 years as principal at Penn Elementary School.

Hello all,
I'm a newbie here but not new to 'cycling. I've been back riding for about a year after a 6 or 7 year layoff due to my wife's cancer treatments and, thankfully recovery. Live in Maryville, Tennessee within sight of the Smoky Mountains. Great riding country (if you don't mind an occasional redneck in a pickup). Ride a Trek 7.2 FX and my newly purchased Cannondale CAAD9 R6. I'm 66 so I'll definitely be subscribing to the 50+ forum. Great info here!

We're obsessed with linen tanks that keep their shape while still having a cool drape. So we dedicated a whole series to this perfect-for-summer fabric, including this layerable laid-back style covered in palm leaves.
Linen Tank in Jungle
Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zhenia Wonderful pattern and color, good fit I bought size Small and it's a good fit (I am 125 lb). I expected a different material, thinking it will be woven linen, but this has a jersey-like knit, stretchy and soft. The pattern and colors are wonderful and can go with a lot of things. Very satisfied (especially for a final -sale price). November 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by JuanaB Too boxy in shape. Sale item so I couldn't return it. Way too baggy and shapeless in medium. Nice idea, though. September 18, 2013

Multi Antioxidant/PHA blend helps strengthen and retexture sensitive skin. This hydrating daily anti-aging cream is formulated with a Bionic Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) blend to even skin tone, refine skin texture and visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles for brighter, younger looking skin. Botanicals soothe the skin while Pro-Vitamin E and grape seed extract provide antioxidant protection.
I first tried this in a small sample jar discarded to me by a friend & like it better than other products I've tried over the past 50+ years. It's great for my dry, aged, sun-damaged skin.
I purchased this after my go-to daily moisturizer (also by Exuviance) was discontinued. I must say this an upgrade! I love how it just melts into my skin and leaves no residue. The cream formula means a little goes a long way so this bottle is also a money-saver. Love, love, love it!
Apply liberally to face and neck daily, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Reapply at least every 2 hours.
Sun Protection Measures: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:
Children under 6 months: Ask a doctor

Now, vests that let users hug from afar
Johannesburg: A tech team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a vest that allows users to hug one another no matter how far apart they are.
A Like-A-Hug vest on display at the website of designer Melissa Kit Chow has been touted as "wearable social media" that inflates to embrace wearers whenever Facebook friends "Like" the items that they have posted at the social network, News24 reported.
According to her website, Chow worked in collaboration with Andy Payne and Phil Seaton in the MIT Media Lab to create the puffy black vests.
The vests let hugs "be given via Facebook, bringing us closer together despite physical distance," Chow said in a post.
And, provided the sender is also wearing the Like-A-Hug vest, a recipient can return a hug by squeezing their own vest to deflate it.
