№1 – Woods 50007WD Indoor 24-Hour Digital Plug-In Timer
Why did this light timers win the first place?
I really enjoy the design. It is compact, comfortable and reliable. And it looks amazing! I also liked the delivery service that was fast and quick to react. It was delivered on the third day. The product is very strong. Its material is stable and doesn't crack. I am very happy with the purchase. It is definitely worth its money. The product is top-notch!
№2 – Smart Digital Light Timer with 3-Prong Outlet 7-day Programmable Plug-in Electrical Switch with Anti-theft Random Option
Why did this light timers come in second place?
I recommend you to consider buying this model, it definitely worth its money. Seems that the material is good. It has a very beautiful color but I don't really like the texture. I really liked it. It is amazing in every aspect. It did even exceed my expectations for a bit, considering the affordable price. This is a pretty decent product that perfectly fitted the interior of our office.
№3 – Century Indoor 24-Hour Mechanical Outlet Timer
Why did this light timers take third place?
This price is appropriate since the product is very well built. The material is incredibly nice to the touch. It has a great color, which will suit any wallpapers. It is inconvenient to use due to the size. I am going to get something different next time. I liked the design. We've been using it for 2 months and it still looks like brand new.
light timers Buyer's Guide
TP-Link LB130
Best of all, the TP-Link bulbs don't require any sort of smart hub to function, so there's no need to buy a starter kit or pay extra for a hub – once you buy a bulb, that's it, making these an especially good choice for anyone who only wants one or two smart lights, and not a whole house worth.
All of the bulbs other than the cheapest LB100 model also come with energy monitoring, so you can see how much energy you've used and plan your usage accordingly.
Connectivity is reliable, with only one brief network drop in our testing time, and our biggest complaint is that at just 800 lumens these aren't the brightest bulbs around – but they should be enough to suit most uses.
Lightwave is a smart lighting solution that's a bit different to the others in this round-up, since it requires you to replace your light switches rather than the light bulbs themselves. It is ideal for homes with multiple spotlights that would otherwise be incredibly expensive to individually replace, and also means that when one bulb blows you can just buy a regular replacement. Sadly, it's UK-only for now.
The Web Link will also manage other smart home devices from the company – you can set up devices that control your hot water and individual room heating, motion detection, and the opening and closing of blinds or curtains. You can also install smart switches on your plug sockets that allow you to turn on and off power when required.
Lightwave has a companion app through which you can turn on and off the switches from your phone or tablet, and through which you can set up schedules or timers that are ideal if you are going on holiday.
Elgato Avea Flare
You create 'rules' for the lamps to work and these can be for them to turn on and off at sunset and sunrise, or at times you choose. They can be individually named and controlled, and you can even set a dimming period so the lamp fades in to your set brightness over a few minutes (or even up to 30 minutes). You can also define a sleep period, so the bulb will turn off after a set time, just like a TV or radio.
Watch this
CNET's LED Buying Guide makes sense of the light bulb…
It's been more than years since Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act of 200(EISA). In doing so, they put the age of inefficient incandescent lighting on notice. The law mandated strict new energy standards designed to kick-start a new era of greener, longer-lasting, more cost-efficient light bulbs — and that meant kicking outdated, inefficient bulbs to the curb.
The rising standards have already long rendered 100W and 75W incandescents obsolete, and in 2014, their 60W and 40W cousins met the same fate. Congressional budget waffling briefly seemed to put the new standards on hold, but it was largely too late — the industry had already moved on, and wasn't interested in reversing course.
Color temperature
After lumens, the next concept you'll want to understand is color temperature. Measured on the Kelvin scale, color temperature isn't really a measure of heat. Instead, it's a measure of the color that a light source produces, ranging from yellow on the low end of the scale to bluish on the high end, with whitish light in the middle.
An easy way to keep track of color temperature is to think of a flame: it starts out yellow and orange, but when it gets really hot, it turns blue. You could also think of color temperature in terms of the sun — low, yellowy color temperatures mimic the tone of light at sunrise or sunset, while hotter, more bluish-white color temperatures are more akin to daylight (sure enough, bulbs with color temperatures like these are commonly called "daylight" bulbs). This is also why a lot of people prefer high color temperatures during the day and lower color temperatures in the morning and evening. Some smart bulbs can even shift back and forth throughout the day.
Generally speaking, incandescents sit at the bottom of the scale with their yellow light, while CFLs and LEDs have long been thought to tend toward the high, bluish end of the spectrum. This has been a steady complaint about new lighting alternatives, as many people prefer the warm, familiar, low color temperature of incandescents. Manufacturers are listening, though, and in this case they heard consumers loud and clear, with more and more low-color-temperature CFL and LED options hitting the shelves. Don't believe me? Take another look at those two paper lamps in the picture above, because they're both CFL bulbs — from the same manufacturer, no less.
Sylvania often color codes its packaging. Blue indicates a hot, bluish color temperature, while the lighter shade indicates a white, more neutral light.
Bulb shape
As you're probably aware, light bulbs come in a fairly wide variety of shapes. Sure, it's easy enough to tell a hardware store clerk that you want "one of those flamey-looking lights," or "just a normal ol' bulby light bulb," but knowing the actual nomenclature might save you some time.
Your automated-lighting options
It used to be that if you wanted your lights to turn on and off automatically, then you had to rely on a cheap wall socket timer, the kind you might use to control a Christmas tree. These days, it's easier than ever to dive into the sort of advanced automation controls that can make any home feel modern and futuristic. Use the right devices, and you'll be able to control your lights in all sorts of creative ways, and make your life a little bit easier in the process.
The most obvious way to get started with smart lighting is with the bulbs themselves. You've got plenty of intelligent options from brands both big and small, and to find the one that's best for you, you're going to need to understand what sets them apart.
The first thing to look at is how the bulbs communicate with you. Some offer direct connections with your smart phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, which makes setup as simple as screwing the thing in and following the in-app pairing instructions.
Cree Connected LED and the
GE Link LED, cost a lot less up front, but don't come with their own gateways — that means you'll need a compatible third-party hub in order to control them.
Hubs like those are your best bet at building your own, elaborate smart home setup with different kinds of products from different brands all working together. However, if that sounds like too much of a headache, or if all you want are lights that come on automatically at sunset, then one of those starter kits that comes with its own gateway is probably worth the cash.
Color control
If you're looking for a little more color in your life, then be sure and take a look at a product like the Philips Hue Starter Kit. Aside from being fully automatable via a mobile app and control hub, the Hue LED bulbs are capable of on-demand color changes. Just pull out your phone, select one of millions of possible shades, and the light will match it. And if you're into voice control, Hue bulbs hit the compatibility trifecta — they'll work with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant.
Because Philips opened its lighting controls to third-party developers, you'll also find lots of fun novelty uses for Hue bulbs, like changing the color of your lights in rhythm with whatever music you're playing. There's even an app that'll sync your Hue lights up with certain TV programming. Philips plans to double down on the idea in a big way this year.
Hue lights are also directly compatible with the popular web service IFTTT, with recipes already available that will change the color of your lights to match the weather, or to signal a touchdown from your favorite football team or even to indicate when your stocks are doing well.
Home Lighting
Track lighting has become a staple of modern home design, and you don't have to wonder why. It's an easy way to add a contemporary feel to new or existing homes and versatile enough to light several areas around the house. However, with the large variety of different sizes, track types, and lamp head styles, diving head first into the world of track lighting can seem pretty overwhelming. Instead of driving yourself crazy, let us do the work for you. In part one of this two-part Buyers' Guide, we'll be covering tips and tricks for getting the most out of your track lighting in various applications.
Accent Lighting
Probably the most common way to use track lighting is accent lighting. Track lighting got its big start in art galleries and museums, so it's no surprise that illuminating decor is what its best at doing. The wall washing technique is the way to go when you need a wide, unfocused spread of light to cover a large area, such as for bookshelves or your action figure collection. For narrower beams of light, use adjustable spotlights to bring attention to decorative pieces like paintings and photos.
AmerTac 73092CC LED Motion-Activated Nite Lite
I've written about consumer electronics for over 1years and have tested smart-home products from remotes and security cameras to AV receivers and speakers. As an editor for Electronic House and Big Picture Big Sound I've written buyer's guides for all kinds of consumer electronics. I've also done tech-related work for Wired, Woman's Day, GeekMom, Men's Health, USA Today, and others.
Who should get this
Smartphones and tablets can put access to a slew of functions into your pockets these days. You already use that phone or tablet to answer email, watch TV, and even check in on your old high school friends, why not use it to make sure the lights and other appliances at home are on or off? If you're the type of person who is constantly paranoid about whether you left the iron on, smart plugs can ease your anxiety.
Pull Quote
A smart switch is a perfect starter device for someone interested in smart-home technology. You don't need fancy hubs, programming skills, or an installer on speed dial to use them.
These are small devices that plug into any outlet and allow you to control the connected appliance wirelessly via an app. Some (like our picks) communicate via Wi-Fi, others use Bluetooth.
A smart switch is a perfect starter device for someone interested in smart-home technology. You don't need fancy hubs, programming skills, or an installer on speed dial to use them, and they give you real functionality with very little fuss. If you've got a smartphone and an empty outlet in your house, you can automate something easily. Putting even just one smart switch into your home can ensure that you'll never enter a dark house; add a few and you can control items such as household fans, speakers, slow cookers, air conditioners, and more.
The smart switches we picked were designed for beginners or anyone looking to squeeze a little extra automation into a specific spot of their home. These units will work in homes, apartments, dorm rooms, offices, or anywhere else with a free outlet and, in most cases, a Wi-Fi connection. We focused on the models that could easily work alone, though you can integrate some of them with other smart devices.
How we picked
Of course, having a hub or system means that you can integrate your plugs into a larger setup with lighting, sensors, cameras, and more. Some plugs also offer remote control from outside of the home without requiring a hub, as well as options to dim lights, set schedules and timers, and even work with IFTTT so you can create your own home-automation recipes. For instance, if your wireless security camera senses motion, the plug can turn on a light. Similarly, many of the switches we looked at are part of a family of smart devices, such as wall switches, motion sensors, or smart bulbs, which all use the same app and may be designed to work together in differing capacities.
How we tested
The switch's app should be compatible with your smartphone or tablet of choice and include the ability to turn the switch's power on and off. The app should also provide extras such as scheduling and the option to group multiple smart switches. For our testing, features beyond basic on-off or dimming were considered bonuses, especially if they proved useful.
Belkin's Wemo Mini Switch turns any outlet into a smart outlet you can control with your iOS or Android device.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
The Wemo Mini may be the cheapest Belkin smart plug currently out there, but that savings will cost you in features. Unlike the Wemo Insight, the Mini does not offer energy monitoring or the customizable alerts that we loved so much last time around. The latter allows you to receive notices on your smartphone or tablet every time the switch goes on or off.
Belkin added HomeKit support to its Wemo lineup in January 2018, via the Wemo Bridge. This add-on dongle connects to your router and provides HomeKit support over all current Wemo devices. It works well, but adds to the cost of the setup. Also know that you will need an Apple TV or iPad at home if you want to access the Wemo Bridge outside of the house.
The iSPadds energy monitoring and extra smart-home integration, including support for Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Wink, and more.
The iHome iSPis a solid runner-up. It performs all of the standard smart-switch features very well, but adds additional smart-home integration and energy monitoring so you can see how much energy your lava lamp is wasting. It also comes with a separate remote control for controlling it without a smartphone (from up to 3feet away). The drawback of these extra features is that they cost more than our top pick. If you don't need it to work with a smart-home hub, you don't need to spend the extra money.
The latest smart switch from iHome looks a lot like the model we tested last time around, the iSPHowever, this one comes with a lot of improvements. The most obvious is that it includes energy monitoring, which can be tracked in the companion app for iOS and Android devices. It also performed a lot better than its predecessor, without any of the connectivity problems we experienced the last time around.
Also worth noting is that this model has a few additional smart-home perks over our main pick. Besides Alexa, HomeKit, Google and Nest integration, the iSPoffers support for SmartThings and Wink smart-home systems, so you can connect it to a hub and make it a part of a larger, whole-house smart-home system (including devices not made by iHome).
This model also packs a separate remote control, which comes in handy if you don't have your smartphone nearby. The remote is extremely basic, offering just on and off features for the one plug, up to 3feet away from the device. However, it does not need line-of-sight, which is very much appreciated.
The app is easy to use, offering options for zones, rooms, scenes, schedules, and triggers. Available for iOS and Android devices, it does have a few graphical elements under the Scenes section. It would be nice if iHome could extend some of those aesthetics to the rest of the app, but it's extremely easy to use.
It's a bit bulkier than our other two picks, which will banish it to the bottom receptacle of your outlet. Geeni's Android and iOS apps are identical, offering on-off controls, scheduling, timers, rules, the ability to group devices, and energy-usage information. Besides letting you set a profile picture and naming your devices, the app doesn't offer any customization, but it's laid out well and is easy to use.
Because Geeni is a new company, it doesn't have a track record of customer support or firmware updates. Still, the Energi performed well, providing on-off control from inside and outside of the house. We even created schedules and controlled the Energi with Alexa. At press time, the company had just completed Google Home Integration Beta, so support for that is expected to go live over the next 30 days.
Belkin Wemo Insight Switch
Last time around, we picked the Switch as our runner-up, and it's still an aesthetic standout. It's currently the only model to make its physical presence useful via a customizable LED night-light that can be turned on-off or tweaked to match your room's color scheme. It's also the only model to feature a side outlet versus having the receptacle on the front. After months of use, it still performs very well, and includes energy monitoring and support for Alexa and Apple HomeKit.
If you're sticking to our recommendations and going for an entry level first BMX bike, then we'd recommend going down to your nearest BMX shop and having a look around.
Weight: Buying a BMX bike that is super lightweight can be pretty expensive, but luckily for you, you don't need a first BMX bike that's super lightweight. What you do need is a ride that's light enough to let you keep control, maintain energy levels and provide a good amount of manoeuvrability. Generally, lighter bikes will have better parts too, as the parts have been made with all of this in mind, so though they may cost a little extra, they'll last you that much longer.
Double wall rims, on the outside of the wheel, are a lot more durable than single, and as such will last you a lot longer. Single walls dent easily. Doubles don't.
Cranks, the component that connects the pedals to the bike and turns the sprocket, need to be strong enough for your style of riding. Tubular cranks or branded cranks are both great options.
Smart bulbs offer a degree of control and interactivity you just can't get with traditional bulbs, like scheduled timers and remote control options. They're also more convenient; it's easier to tap on a smartphone screen than to get up and trudge over to a wall switch.
Aside from keeping you out of the dark, most of the bulbs listed here can be scheduled or controlled remotely, which is great if you want to save on energy costs or you often forget to turn off the lights before leaving the house.
Some bulbs use geofencing, which means they work with the GPS in your smartphone to pinpoint your exact location, and can automatically turn the lights on or off when you reach a certain point. Color-changing bulbs are great for mood lighting, and some can even sync up with certain movies and TV shows.
You can also integrate some of the bulbs on this list with security cameras, thermostats, and other smart home devices.
If This Then That (IFTTT) compatibility lets you create recipes that automatically cause your lights to react to certain triggers, like phone notifications or changes in weather.
Right now we don't recommend bulbs that do double-duty as a speaker (like the Sony LED Bulb Speaker), as we haven't found any particularly good ones in testing.
I have set my budget, I've bought my lights, now how do I install them? This is perhaps a consideration you should make before the purchase of the lights. How you will install your lights may even come into play when setting your budget depending on whether you require any specialist machinery.
The internet is jam packed full of handy guides, tips and tricks on the actual securing of your lights to the structure they are decorating. In our experience the ever faithful cable tie takes a lot of beating. Strong and resilient they are extendable and flexible, easily removable and a key plus point, cheap. S hooks and gutter hooks are invaluable for using to decorating guttering.
It should be kept in mind that LED's produce no heat so are ideal for use indoors when used with material and voile, filament bulbs can get very warm when left on for a long time.
Other Considerations
The amount of daylight varies across the country. In some regions, the length of daylight changes quickly. Here in Oregon, the day will be three minutes shorter tomorrow than it was today. That means supplemental lighting requirements will change fairly rapidly from month to month. One of the best ways to manage those changes is with an automatic light timer. A timer will help you easily adjust to changing daylight lengths as well as save energy and bulb life.
If you chose to use any type of florescent lighting, you will need to account for plant growth. Florescent lights perform best when positioned very close to plants. As plants grow into the light, it is important to raise the fixture. Generally only the plants touching the lights will burn, but be prepared because they grow quickly. Adjustable hangers are a good solution. These hangers move easily allowing you to make quick adjustments.
6.x 1.x 1.inches iHome's outdoor plug can withstand the elements, which makes it great for powering all those tree lights and outdoor displays you put up every December. It only has one plug, though, so you may need several to get juice to all of your lights.
I based on these criteria
A note about this comparison: Of these four, the Click and Grow, AeroGarden and Foody are very similar growing systems in size, lighting, care specifics and germination time. The Emily's Hydrofarm is an obvious outsider, and is quite different in that it is much larger, uses clay pebbles and water rather than soil, doesn't come with seeds, and the set-up process is extensive.
Grade: A
Getting up in the middle of the night can be very problematic. The darkness brings many uncertainties and you'll never know what lies in front of you. Despite traversing through your home innumerable times, you're more prone to accidents when the lights are out. With this in mind, you'll want to equip yourself with a sufficient light. A flashlight won't do the trick, since it'll awake your child and only make matter worse.
Power Outlet Location
Do you have an available power outlet in your child's room? If you do not, you may need to choose a portable or battery powered model. Be sure to pay close attention to the room's power outlets and the length of cord provided with the nightlight. This will help you determine whether or not it'll work well for your individualistic situation.
Light Color
Although some nightlights are only available in white, others can be purchased in an array of different colors. This can make the purchase slightly more complicated, but selecting the right color can dramatically enhance the light's effects. Initially, some parents will believe that blue is the best color to lull their child asleep, but this isn't the case.
Instead, you should acquire an orange or red light. These colors simulate the sunset and will help to encourage your child's body to fall into a peaceful slumber. Red is also capable of soothing your toddler, so it'll help them fall asleep quicker and remain asleep more comfortably for a lengthier period of time.
Timer Feature
Some nightlights are equipped with a convenient timer. This is a good feature, if you wish the light to shut itself off, after your child has fallen asleep. With the timer, you will be able to save battery life or cut down on your electricity use. Although a timer isn't a necessity, it is very handy.
Light Brightness
Although the above factors are also important, the light's brightness may be the most important of all. If the light is too bright, it'll become problematic and could awake your child, once switched on. If the light isn't bright enough, it may not serve its purpose efficiently. Therefore, you will need to be very diligent, when attempting to find the right brightness. You'll need to find a middle ground and choose a light with the optimum brightness.
Now that you've learned precisely what to look for in a child's night light, it is time to look at some of the market's best options.
Does not have an automatic shutoff
Overall, the Essential Choice Constellation is a wonderful night light for any infant, toddler, or adolescent. It will provide your child with unlimited entertainment for many years. Its compact design is very desirable, since it will not require a lot of space, which will come in handy for those with overcrowded nurseries.
Bedtime Originals Sail Away Lamp with Shade and Bulb
If you are looking for some amazing nursery décor, you should look no further than the Bedtime Originals Sail Away lamp. This beautiful lamp includes a plaid designed shade that matches the little sailboat design perfectly. This will make the perfect addition for a boy's room, plus it will provide sufficient lighting, without driving up your electric bill.
The sailboats, lifesaver, and waves are very colorful and will definitely add appeal to any area of the nursery. Once you receive your new Sail Away lamp, you will instantly fall in love with it, so much so that you will want to purchase the additional matching musical mobile and wall décor. These items will transform your baby's nursery or toddler's room into a virtual, nautical environment like no other.
This is an electrical powered lamp that must be plugged into a 1volt electrical outlet. This will make the perfect baby shower gift for someone that is expecting a bouncing baby boy. The overall construction is solid, with the boats being very thick and durable.
Have not found one yet
Overall, the Bedtime Originals Sail Away lamp is designed to add appeal to any young boy's room. It is designed to offer durability and longevity, plus it provides a generous warm light that will emit throughout the entire room.
Noise Output
The Haier was the very definition of average in our control panel high fan speed and long distance high fan speed noise output tests where it was the 5th loudest out of the ten high capacity units that we tested in both tests. At low fan speed the Haier performed more poorly. It was 8th in the control panel test and dead last in the long distance test.
Whether its poor performance on low fan speed should be a concern for you will depend on how you plan on using the dehumidifier. Many consumers will buy a dehumidifier and set it to low fan speed in mildly humid living spaces where they will actually be spending a lot of time. The Haier is a terrible choice if you plan on using it in this capacity. If you plan on using it in a basement or in any other area where noise output is not an issue or if you have a constant humidity problem that requires a high fan speed then the Haier is not a bad option as far as noise output is concerned.
Incandescent bulbs
The natural light inside most houses is fairly dim so if you own a diurnal reptile, you'll need to provide it with a bright white light during the day. This is to mimic the bright natural light it would be used to in the wild.
For this, any incandescent bulb can be used (the type of bulb you use in table lamps or ceiling lights). However, it is important to remember that incandescent bulbs don't provide UVA or UVB light (or heat) so this will need to be catered for separately.
Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 PT218- 25W Bulb
Make sure you research this before you buy any UV lighting. As a rough guide, the following reptiles need this intensity of UV light:The amount of UV light that different reptiles need varies depending on the environment it comes on. If your reptile originates from the desert where they would be exposed to large amounts of sunlight, they will need a higher intensity of UV light than reptiles from the rainforest.
Reptile lighting timers
Your vivarium lighting should mimic the hours of daylight your reptile would have in its natural environment but it's impractical to have to remember to turn your vivarium lights on and off at the right time every day. For one thing, you might not be at home when they need turning off.
For this reason we'd recommend putting your vivarium lights on a timer to eliminate the problem of forgetting to turn them on and off and make sure your reptile always gets enough light.
SettingsAnd Compactness
Most of the brands are easy to use and compact in size, so you can easily place them on your kitchen counter. However some models have advanced settings for the temperature and timers that may help your specific cooking needs. So you need to consider the settings too.
To own an air fryer that keeps you eating healthy foods and enjoy them at the same time you have to choose a product that meets with all your specific cooking needs and is durable and worth the money you shell out.
Don't worry, you need not do the extensive research required to hone in on the apt product. We have everything covered. Here is a list of best air fryers in 201to help you out in your search for the right air fryer for you.

Train passengers have been lamenting the longer walk and lack of parking at the downtown depot since the city moved the train platforms a few hundred feet north of the depot to make room for future development. Some riders have stopped taking the train. In response, city officials now say they might use part of the empty development site for temporary parking and a drop-off area nearer the platforms.

Are you struggling for holiday activities for your child? Perhaps trying to juggle work and family? You need reliable and trustworthy staff who have experience of caring for children. As a parent I know how tricky the search for suitable childcare can be, so I'm putting my experience and years of knowledge into our holiday club in Thirsk.
I've worked around children for six years now, but in the last year I've worked more closely with children at Primary level, running an after school maths club for a local franchise and working for a local primary school as an after school club playworker. I have always loved baking and crafting and want to pass on these skills to local children.
Our holiday club will be a combination of baking and crafting each day. Children can attend either morning, afternoon or full day sessions (meals provided). Children will learn important life skills as well as having fun with friends in a safe and secure environment.
We keep club numbers small so we can give more attention to the children, so don't delay booking your place!

Ringling Bros. circus operator Feld Entertainment Inc. has asked a federal judge to make three animal rights groups pay $25.4 million in legal fees.
Ringling Bros. circus operator Feld Entertainment Inc. has asked a federal judge to make three animal rights groups pay $25.4 million in legal fees incurred by Feld during the activists' unsuccessful lawsuit challenging Ringling's use of elephants in circus acts.
One of the original four complainants, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, already paid Feld $9.3 million in December.
In this latest court document, Feld adds up all its expenses and asks the remaining three activist groups to pay the whole bill: the Animal Welfare Institute, the Animal Protection Institute and Fund for Animals.
As leverage favoring settlement by the remaining three, Feld has a still-pending lawsuit of its own accusing them of racketeering.
Now based in Ellenton, Feld has worked for 13 years to defend itself against the original lawsuit, based on provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
From 2000 to early 2013, Feld claims through its lawyers, the entertainment company ran up more than 50,000 hours in legal fee billings, most of it at the prestigious Washington D.C. law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski. The firm's name has since been changed to Norton Rose Fulbright.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled against the animal rights groups in late 2009, and in March granted Feld's request to get back its legal fees.
On Oct. 22, Feld's attorneys filed a 65-page petition for attorneys' fees and expert witness fees, accompanied by dozens of other exhibits intended to substantiate Feld's demands.
The plaintiffs now on the hook for legal fees have not yet responded to the court about Feld's demands.
Asked to comment on Feld's filing, Fund For Animals issued this statement: "The court in this case never ruled on the mistreatment of elephants alleged by animal-welfare organizations and entered into evidence during the trial, ruling instead that the court lacked the power to hear the case because the organizations did not show that they had standing."
The Animal Protection Institute, now known as Born Free USA, said through a spokeswoman that it had no comment. A lawyer for the Animal Welfare Institute also declined to comment.
After lengthy court proceedings including two appeals by the plaintiffs followed by a 61/2 week trial, the court determined that a key witness for the animal rights groups, Tom Rider, was "essentially a paid plaintiff" and "not credible."
Rider, who died on Oct. 1, had cared for Feld elephants.
The court determined that Rider received more than $190,000 from the activist groups and their attorneys.
Based on that information, Feld filed a federal racketeering case against the activists in 2007, alleging they misused the litigation process and manufactured a lawsuit against Feld.
Rick Berman, executive director of the Center for Consumer Freedom, which monitors the Humane Society, has told the Herald-Tribune that the remaining defendants could face tens of millions of dollars in damages if they are found to have acted illegally. Anti-racketeering laws provide for triple damages in many cases.
Feld's lead attorney in the litigation, John Simpson, confirmed that his tally of 50,000-plus billable hours of work included fees that could be said to have been incurred by the group that settled, the ASPCA.
"They are going to argue they get some credit for what ASPCA has paid, but that is ultimately for the judge to decide," Simpson said.
While $25.4 million may sound like an exorbitant amount of money, it amounts to a bit less than what two full-time lawyers at Simpson's expensive law firm would bill out over 13 years, he said.
The litigation involved two appeals and a six-week court trial. The paperwork encompassed 700 docket entries, 300 substantive filings, 30 substantive court orders, 30 subpoenas and 46 depositions including twelve involving experts.
There were 77 hearings, including the trial, during which the court heard evidence from 30 witnesses and admitted close to 400 exhibits.
"This was not an ordinary case," Simpson said.

Roberto Mangual, President & CEO, Simparel discusses the importance of inventory management.
Effective inventory management has always been a competitive advantage for fashion businesses. Now that omnichannel commerce is the new normal, the importance of accurate, timely inventory information is greater than ever.
In the report "Omnichannel Inventory Optimization: Where Are My Products?" management consultant Danny Knopp, The Parker Avery Group, wrote:
"Inventory optimization is carrying a level of inventory that reduces the possibility of an out-of-stock situation, while at the same time ensuring the carrying cost of inventory does not hurt the bottom line. In the simplest of terms, inventory optimization means balancing demand and supply."
Against this backdrop, apparel manufacturers and brands require the flexibility to ship their merchandise to retail customers' distribution centers, third-party e-commerce warehouses and sometimes, directly to retail stores or even consumers' homes.
More and more retailers are asking suppliers to break up shipments and reroute products to help them respond to late-breaking demand trends. Adding to the complexity, some manufacturers and brands are managing their own direct-to-consumer operations through outlets and online sales.
The theme of this year's Global Retailing Conference — "Everywhere at Once" — is a reflection of the enormous focus on anytime-anywhere fulfillment. To execute to this challenge, fashion firms need agility and real-time inventory visibility. For them to maintain high customer service levels, there is very little room for error.
New Technology for Today's Opportunities
There are new software solutions to help apparel businesses sharpen their inventory management. Next-generation ERP solutions include functionality specifically to manage omnichannel order fulfillment. Many apparel manufacturers have found that it is beneficial to implement a single enterprise system to obtain one version of the truth on all inventory, including goods warehoused in multiple locations.
Until now, if they wanted access to up-to-date inventory data, many apparel businesses had to run time-consuming reports, pulling from a complex web of custom interfaces between systems. This approach requires significant time and labor, and because it is not automated, there is risk for error as employees manually extract the relevant data from disparate software programs.
With confidence in their inventory accuracy, fashion businesses can carry less buffer inventory and reduce the high costs of liquidating a lot of excess products. Also, when they are leveraging the latest systems, companies can gain the ability to allocate business-to-business orders as well as direct-to-consumer shipments. Juggling both order types requires sophisticated pick/pack warehouse management capabilities. Newer enterprise systems have this functionality built-in, along with FedEx and UPS interfaces that are critical for business-to-consumer fulfillment.
Bonobos is a great example of a company that has leveraged technology for omnichannel success. Starting up as an e-commerce fashion business, the company has since opened 19 Guideshops across the country — showrooms where customers can touch and feel its merchandise, get fit guidance and place orders. The firm's popularity and fashion savvy attracted the interest of Nordstrom, which has made the Bonobos brand available in its department stores and on nordstrom.com.
Seeing Inventory in the Supply Chain
To truly excel at omnichannel inventory management, companies need a single system for managing all product-related data and eliminating visibility gaps from source to shelf. Technology is available today to provide real-time visibility into not only the warehouse but also further upstream into the supply chain and product development.
For example, when companies have instant access to vendor production schedules and status updates through web-based portals, they have visibility into "virtual" inventory in the supply chain and can determine when it will be available to fulfill orders. When this information is coupled with visibility into "real" inventory they have already received into their distribution centers, they have a powerful, holistic picture of where all of their products are positioned.
Some progressive manufacturers are utilizing new computer systems to synchronize raw materials planning, sourcing and distribution plans with demand patterns. This is just one more example of how supply chain management is now intricately linked with inventory management. The closer to market apparel suppliers can react to trends, the more valuable they become as retail partners — able to supply the right product to the right place at the right time. And that is inventory management at its best.

London terror attack: Leaders and politicians from Norfolk and around the world react
PUBLISHED: 08:56 04 June 2017 | UPDATED: 18:28 04 June 2017
Community leaders across Norfolk have reacted to the shock news of the terrorist attack in London.
Norfolk Police's chief constable Simon Bailey said: "Once again we have been subjected to the horrors of a terrorist attack with last night's awful events in London.
"My thoughts are with the families and friends of all those who have been killed and with those who are in hospitals across London.
"My admiration goes out to those members of the public and my colleagues in the emergency services who responded so bravely and undoubtedly prevented further loss of life.
"The only way we will beat the terrorists is if we work together.
"Norfolk will remain the safe place it is if we remain vigilant and report any concerns or any suspicious behaviour
that the public deem to be suspicious."
South West Norfolk Conservative candidate and justice secretary Elizabeth Truss said: "My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families of this appalling terrorist attack.
"The emergency services have acted with speed and bravery - we are hugely grateful for their dedication. We must remain resolute in the face of this threat."
Liberal Democrat candidate for North Norfolk, Norman Lamb, said: "It is deeply distressing. My two sons live in London and have been in Norfolk this weekend.
"Attacks like this cause so much distress and anxiety to so many families.
"It's horrific what happened in London on Saturday night, but in the face of this awful threat it is most important that we show we will not be defeated.
"Democracy and the democratic process must continue and we must continue to demonstrate that they won't damage our way of life.
"We need to improve our means of combating this terrorism, through better intelligence and through investment in these services and by actively working with communities across the country to isolate the terrorists.
"A whole raft of measures can be looked at and we need to review what has happened over the last few weeks.
"We need to demonstrate they won't change our way of life and they won't defeat us."
George Freeman, Conservative candidate for the Mid Norfolk constituency, put out a statement on his social media accounts, stating: "As our way of life comes under attack again on a Saturday night in London, thoughts and prayers tonight for all those affected by the attacks, and huge gratitude, respect and solidarity with our fantastically brave and professional emergency services who run towards danger so we can sleep safely."
Clive Lewis, Labour candidate for Norwich South, said: "I am horrified and saddened by the attacks that took place in London last night. My thoughts are with all of those who have suffered, their friends and loved ones and the people of London.
"Once again, our emergency services have done us proud and I am so grateful for all they do. While we run from danger, they run towards it to protect us.
"The main political parties have agreed to suspend national campaigning for the General Election and here in Norwich we won't be campaigning at all today."
Chris Jones, Labour's parliamentary candidate for Norwich North, said: "I think every one is in shock and numb from last night's events.
"It's another terrible attack on our society but I think we must strengthen our resolve to stick together as a society.
"I think we must stay vigilant and keep challenging the spread of radicalisation and be on our guard but also recognise that this is a small number of violent criminals."
Asked if the general election on June 8 should be postponed, he said: "No, I don't think the general election should be postponed.
"Our democracy is on the things we value the most within our society and we should celebrate it.
"It should strengthen our resolve to have a democratic society and we shouldn't let them affect that.
"Campaigning in Norwich has been postponed, and I think that postponing campaigning is the correct decision out of respect following last night's events.
"But we will carry on making our case for our vision for what society should be like."
Lana Hempsall, Conservative candidate for Norwich South, said: "I'm appalled, absolutely appalled. It's just awful.
"I just feel that as a society we're venturing into vengeful territory which as a society is very concerning.
"I think the licence people are giving themselves to express themselves online is extremely concerning
"I'm alarmed by the attacks and the role social media is playing in the way society is becoming polarised.
"If these attacks are happening because of the general election then I think we should get it over and done with, then we can start bringing the UK back together."
The Rt Rev Dr Mike Harrison, Bishop of Dunwich, said: "Once again a terrorist attack causes grievous carnage and loss of life in one of our major cities and our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones, those injured in the attack and those traumatised by the events at London Bridge.
"But once again also there are stories of heroism, of courage, generosity and self-giving which testify to the strength of the fabric of our relationships, a fabric terrorists would seek to tear apart.
"Terrorist incidents are meant to challenge the stories we live by. They are meant to replace our story, our story of a peaceful society whose stability and safety we can rely on and replace it with a narrative of fear and dread, an insecure and unpredictable environment subject to threat and violence.
"And if we buy that narrative, then out of that threat and fear is bred suspicion and hostility for different groups within society, leading to the kind of fragmentation, scapegoating and polarisation which breeds further fear and strengthens the terrorists narrative.
"That's why it's vital at times like this that we rehearse our story and keep on rehearsing it, and why politicians, faith leaders and others must stand up and re-tell our story, a story whose ingredients include our togetherness and solidarity, our unity in diversity, our common purposes of peaceful coexistence, our mutual respect and dignity, our outright refusal to be ensnared by fear or hatred.
"The stories we tell shape our lives – we must not allow terrorism to dictate those stories."
Prime Minister Theresa May has offered her "huge gratitude" to the emergency services attending what she described as a "potential terrorist incident" near London Bridge.
"Our thoughts are with those who are caught up in these dreadful events," she added.
A vehicle was reported to have ploughed into pedestrians in a packed street in central London before alleged knife attacks.
Mrs May called the ongoing situation "fast moving".

"My thoughts are with the victims and their families," he wrote. "Thank you to the emergency services."

"Sounds like another disaster," he added.

Brandon Lewis, policing minister and Conservative candidate in Great Yarmouth, tweeted: "Thoughts are with victims & all affected by tonight's incident. As ever huge thanks to our police & emergency services."

"I am in close contact with the Met Commissioner and senior officers and am being kept updated on all developments. I will be attending the Government's emergency Cobra meeting later this morning."
He asked people to avoid the London Bridge area, and advised that London Bridge Station remains closed. While the situation is still unfolding, Mr Khan asked both Londoners and visitors to "remain calm and vigilant" and to report anything suspicious to the police.

Mr Khan encouraged people to follow the Metropolitan Police on Twitter for further updates and information.

Philosopher Jeremy Bentham lived for forty years in a house on the site now occupied by the Ministry of Justice (102 Petty France).
The house, in what came to be called Queen's Square Place, was bequeathed to Bentham by his father Jeremiah on his death in 1792. Jeremiah had first rented the house in May 1763 while Jeremy was a fifteen year old undergraduate at Oxford. Jeremy's first comment on the family's move from Crutched Friars in the City, comes in a letter written from Queen's College Oxford to his father on 24 March 1763:
I received the favour of yours on Friday, and am very glad to find by it, that you are likely to suit yourself with a house so much to your liking; for my part, from the description you give me, and the idea I have of it, I really think it must be very pleasant and convenient; I should be glad to hear that you have taken it, of which I can only draw a probable conclusion from your data, as you have not expressly mentioned it.
The house proved convenient for Jeremiah bought it at the end of 1764. Bentham's house could be entered through a dark passageway from Queen Anne's Gate near the site of the plaque, or through a gate into his garden from Bird Cage Walk to the left of the Barracks.
Councillor Catherine Longworth, Lord Mayor of Westminster and Professor Malcolm Grant, the President and Provost of University College London, unveiled a commemorative plaque to Jeremy Bentham on the gateway of the current building.
The current building is a government office and not open to the public.

The Unstoppable Laura Griffin
Posted by Gwen Hernandez
The first time I met New York Times Bestselling Author Laura Griffin, I made a complete fool of myself. We were sitting on a bus during a very informative tour of MacDill AFB in Florida, and I told her how much I enjoyed her book about the prison break.
She gave me a confused look. Oh, wait, crap, Allison Brennan wrote that one. *head slap*
Laura took it like a champ. After cringing and apologizing, I was able to wax rhapsodic about her book Thread of Fear, which I had recently read.
And she kept talking to me.
Once I got to know Laura, I realized she was a smart, fun, interesting woman with a background in journalism that had her asking great questions of the airmen we visited with that day. And from reading many more of her books since my awkward mistake, I can tell you first hand that she's a fabulous writer.
Laura's brand of romantic suspense is dark and edgy with plenty of sexual tension and sensuality. Her heroines are just the right combination of vulnerable and independent, with interesting occupations. And her heroes are, well, yummy. Many of them are stoic, law enforcement-types. Protective, stubborn, intense, and loyal.
She must have forgiven me my early gaffe, because she agreed to run along the Hudson River with me during the RWA National Conference in NYC last summer. And more recently, she agreed to join us here on Kiss & Thrill to answer a few questions.
Be sure to chime in with your own for a chance to win an advanced reading copy (ARC) of her upcoming release Twisted.
GH: Your upcoming novella Unstoppable (Mar 27th) is part of the Tracers series, which revolves around the fictional Delphi Center. Can you explain more about the Delphi Center's purpose?
LG: The Delphi Center is a cutting-edge crime lab where an elite group of forensic scientists known as Tracers work to solve the toughest crimes. Investigators look to Delphi for help with their most challenging cases.
UNSTOPPABLE features two of my favorite characters from the series–Kelsey, a forensic anthropologist, and Gage, a Navy SEAL. These two have been so much fun to write about, and they're getting their own book in the fall–entitled SCORCHED.
GH: Ooh, I loved Kelsey and Gage. I can't wait for more. Is Delphi inspired by a real place, or is it wishful thinking?
LG: It's a combination of both. I got the idea when I read about a new body farm (or decomposition research facility) being built in central Texas, where I live. I decided to create a fictional body farm for my books, and I added the crime lab, where the very latest forensic technology is used to help police solve cases. The Tracers who work at this place each have their own personal reasons for being dedicated to their cause.
GH: "Nightfall" appears in the recently released (Feb 20th) Guns & Roses anthology. Can you tell us how the anthology came about?
LG: GUNS AND ROSES is a labor of love on the part of the authors over at MurderSheWrites.com. We've been doing the blog together for years, and we wanted to put together a book that combined all of our different voices so readers could find us all in one place. It's been such a fun project!
GH: For more on the anthology, readers can check out last week's post with the whole Murder She Writes crew. Is "Nightfall" related to the Tracers series, or is it a stand-alone work?
LG: "Nightfall" is a stand-alone, but I might have to pay Holly and Colin (the characters) a visit down the road at some point. Whenever I write a short story, I end up wanting to give the characters a whole book.
GH: Are there any particular authors you read that influenced your work or your decision to write romantic suspense?
LG: I remember when I first read Linda Howard being so excited to discover books that had all my favorite elements rolled into one–suspense, romance, lots of emotion.
GH: I love Linda Howard for the same reasons. She always delivers. Who are some of your favorites right now?
LG: I've been reading Lisa Gardner, Lee Child, Tami Hoag.
GH: You were a journalist before you turned to romantic suspense. Do you think your background as a journalist helped or hurt your fiction writing? How?
LG: The journalism background made me overcome shyness about interviewing people. Now meeting people and doing research is one of my favorite aspects of writing a book. So many wonderful ideas come from meeting people face to face.
GH: What's next for you?
LG: I'm having so much fun writing the Tracers series, and I've been thrilled with people's response. I just signed a contract for three more books, which I'm excited about because I've got more characters to talk about. After TWISTED this spring, the next book is SCORCHED in the fall.
GH: Ooh, yay, more Tracers! 🙂 Anything else you want to share?
LG: I want to thank all the readers who have reached out to tell me what they think of the stories. Writing can be a solitary occupation and it's such fun when readers get in touch to say that a book resonated with them for some reason. To me, that's what books are all about.

Guns and Roses: A "Murder She Writes" Anthology
Posted by Sharon Wray
Today, Kiss and Thrill is privileged to have the authors of the MurderSheWrites blog here with an exciting announcement: The MurderSheWrites exclusive e-book anthology Guns and Roses.
According to the MSW team, Guns and Roses is "a collection of ten never-before published short stories and novellas, each penned by a MurderSheWrites blogger, inspired by our mutual love of suspense and romance. Some of them are dark and tense; others are light and wild and might give you a few new laugh lines. Most are loosely connected to existing popular series, yet all stand entirely alone. Many will make you chuckle, one or two might make you cry, and there are a few that will require the use of a fan and cold water.
We are the authors behind the long-running (and, we say humbly and happily) quite popular MurderSheWrites blog. Started in 2005, the MSW blog has always enjoyed a large and lively audience of readers, writers, and publishing industry experts.
All of us are primarily, but not exclusively, writers of romance and suspense, enjoying a wide spectrum along both those popular bands. Among us, we have over 150 published novels, numerous appearances on the New York Times Bestseller lists, dozens of industry awards, and, yeah, more than twenty kids. Thanks to amazing and palpable synergy, we are also close friends who love, respect, admire, and depend upon one another.
So, it was through the marvel of that synergy that the anthology Murder She Writes Presents: Guns and Roses was born."
Sharon: I have so many questions, but since our readers can't wait to hear more about Guns and Roses, I'll keep them short. First, who came up with the idea for the anthology or was it done through a virtual early morning latte chat?
MSW Team: Allison mentioned it first about a year ago and we were all like, yes! I believe we had been drinking that day! Then life and deadlines got in the way. Lori/Lorelei or was it Laura? One of L's brought it back up this past fall. We decided now or never and let's really push ourselves and shoot for a Valentine's Day release! We missed it by a week, but when you read Guns and Roses, you'll see that the quality is tops and well worth waiting the extra week. We'd just like to mention that Guns and Roses can stand beside anything New York produces and kill it!
Sharon: Who got to pick the fabulous title?
MSW Team: Miss Lori Armstrong aka Lorelei James came up with that killer title.
Sharon: Who did the cover and which author had final say on the design?
MSW Team: Designer Kim Killion did an amazing job! We all had the final say. LoL. I can still remember the ten of us voicing ten different thoughts and opinions. Oh, the flurry of emails that ensued. Luckily, we had a very patient designer, and in the end, Kim came through. One thing all of us agree on is: We LOVE the cover!
Sharon: How did you decide the order of the stories? Alphabetical? Age of oldest child or pet? Cup size?
MSW Team: We did the cup size thing first but there was some boob envy getting in the way. But for the most part, Allison came up with good reasons for the order. Then we ran it by our editor, Charlotte Herscher for some advice on the matter. She liked what was suggested and we ran with it. We start off with Rocki's wonderful Bullet Catchers and wrap up with the indomitable Bobbie Faye, with all kinds of goodness in between!
Sharon: Did you have an outside editor read through Guns and Roses before publishing?
MSW Team: Absolutely. We're pros, but not perfect; we hired one of the best in the business, Charlotte Herscher. She did an amazing job! Our copy editor, Debi Murray was quick and efficient, and our proofreader and formatter Amy Eye has the eagle eye for details. She was amazing. And ever so patient. Ever ever so patient. We heart her.
Sharon: How long did Guns and Roses take you all from first concept to upload?
MSW Team: Roughly three months. And the work involved was Herculean. But put ten amazing brains attached to ten driven writers, and we made it look easy. It was a lot of work. But a happy chore, executed with passion and friendship. We're all still friends!
Sharon: How will you measure the success of Guns and Roses?
MSW Team: The first and most important benchmark is we're all still talking to each other! Secondly, we learned a lot through the process, so next time it will be a breeze! But at the end of the day, sales will play the biggest part in the equation. While we know we produced a unique quality product, we need people to buy it so we'll want to do it again. And so far the sales look good.
Sharon: Thanks so much. Now on to the good stuff. All the sexy and exciting details about Guns and Roses!

Speaking to Total Film, Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson spoke a little about his take on the super-speedy Quicksilver in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and this take seems far more in line with his classic Marvel Comics incarnation than Evan Peters' take in X-Men: Days Of Future Past.
"There's years – over 50 years – of back story on him all there to use, and I like doing that. Him and his sister [Scarlet Witch] have been abandoned by their parents and their father, and they grew up in Eastern Europe defending and looking out for themselves and each other," explained Taylor-Johnson.
"His sister really is his guidance – emotionally she's the one who looks after him, and vice versa. He's very overprotective physically – he doesn't want anyone touching her. He has real anger frustration – I like that.
"I always thought it'd be quite funny if you saw him eating loads and people asked him why and he'd explain it's because he's burning so much energy all the time. Or ideas that you'd see him come back round – but he's already nipped out and got his lunch somewhere else. He just got bored – his attention span is so fucking quick."
Expanding on how much of the character's signature look will make it into the Avengers Assemble sequel, the star was uncertain.
"That's what we're in talks about really, right now – how I could become that character and not feel forced. I might not look right with white hair, and the accent may be wrong… it just doesn't work like that."
The Avengers: Age Of Ultron is due in cinemas 1 May 2015. You can buy Avengers Assemble on DVD for £10.99 or on Blu-ray for £14.99 from Amazon.co.uk.

The Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Company (BSR) is to implement projects to upgrade and expand the Dung Quat Oil Refinery in central Quang Ngai province. Total investment will be nearly $1.83 billion, according to General Director Dinh Van Ngoc.
The refinery's capacity will be increased from 6.5 million to some 9 million tonnes per year, equivalent to 192,000 barrels a day. The project will add new workshops with new technologies, increase the capacity of existing workshops, and transform auxiliary workshops, and are expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
According to Mr. Ngoc, at the end of August BSR will sign two important contracts, including one on consulting management and another on design, to develop the facility. The company selected suitable bidders to ensure completion by the end of 2021. Once completed the refinery is expected to enhance operations at BSR and the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) as well as improve high-standard supply to other markets.
The project will allow the production of many products, including plastic pellets, asphalt, A97 and A98 petroleum, and other special materials for military and defense purposes. BSR also expects to engage about 200 more workers.
BSR meets about 30-35 per cent of total demand for petroleum in the country. Although the refinery's capacity will increase by approximately 30 per cent after the project is finished demand will also rise, so BSR's supply to the domestic market will stay at approximately 35 per cent.
The Dung Quat Economic Zone has prepared four land lots with a total area of 108.2 ha in Binh Tri and Binh Thuan communes in Binh Son district to hand over to the project's management board before the first quarter of 2016.

OR: Cool Stuff--Geigerrig Hydration Engine
It's always after you've climbed something tough, sweat pouring off you, that the thirst seems the most powerful. That's when the old kung fu between air and water ensues: You stop breathing while you suck from the hydration hose, then you inhale mightily through your nose attempting to build up enough oxygen surplus to swallow the mouthful. Repeat, ad hydratium.
But what if you could turn your hydration reservoir into a low power water gun? The Geigerrig Hydration Engine (available in two and three liters, for $48 and $50, respectively) does just that. Using the same pump the doc uses to measure your blood pressure, the reservoir inflates with enough pressure to force out a liters per minute.
The pressurized system also makes sharing water with your friend or dog less gross, and it keeps mouth bacteria from backwashing into the reservoir and turning it into a petri dish. When it's time to clean it, it flips inside out and is dishwasher safe.
Snap on an in-line water filter ($28) and have 50-ish gallons go creek to throat with the same pressure. (No word on how it works toward the end of the filter's life).
The boys in the booth said they put it through some heavy testing, like dropping it from a helicopter, detonating a shrapnel-free bomb next to it, and throwing it out of a moving car (that sounds familiar) but it didn't leak.
If only for the novelty sake, this thing is pretty cool. It's possible to pressurize your own reservoir by squeezing it under your arm like bagpipes, or wrenching compression straps hard on it, but the Hydration Engine does that for you—so long as you don't mind a blood-pressure pump dangling from your shoulder strap. geigerrig.com

Arsenal and Chelsea meet again at Wembley on Sunday in English football's traditional curtain-raiser.
The match is of course between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners, while it takes place less than three months after the Gunners beat Chelsea at the same ground 2-1 in the FA Cup final; their third Cup triumph in four seasons.
The two sides also met in Bird's Nest stadium in China a fortnight ago, where the Blues comfortably won 3-0 – albeit in a pre-season friendly.
Last Community Shield Encounter
These London rivals have met twice previously in the Community Shield. Chelsea were 2-1 winners in 2005, while Arsenal defeated Chelsea 1-0 in 2015 thanks to a sensational strike from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Jose Mourinho was beaten on the day by Arsene Wenger, and it appeared to be the beginning of the end for the Special One – who was sacked later in the year.
Team News
Arsene Wenger is close to having a full squad to choose from, but doubts remain over Alexis Sanchez and Shkodran Mustafi after their Confederations Cup exertions. Wenger said Sanchez ?looked like he had never been away in his first few training sessions back in London, but he will be assessed ahead of Sunday's game.
Despite some confusion surrounding his ban, Laurent Koscielny is available for for the match. The Frenchman received a red card and a three-match ban for a ridiculous foul on Enner Valencia in Arsenal's final league match against Everton, ruling him out of the FA Cup final, as well as the first two league matches of the new season.
Francis Coquelin is a definite absentee after an ankle ligament injury, but Aaron Ramsey is expected to recover from a slight muscular scare to partner Granit Xhaka in midfield. New signings Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac are expected to feature prominently.
Last season's star players Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are unavailable, the Belgian winger is recovering from a broken ankle and Costa has been exiled from the squad by Antonio Conte. Pedro is also a doubt meaning summer signing Alvaro Morata might start in a more withdrawn role behind Michy Batshuayi.
Victor Moses who was sent off for simulation in May's FA Cup final is available for Sunday but will miss the Blues' first League game against Burnley. Tiemoue Bakayoko will also miss the clash with a knee injury.
Predicted Lineups
Arsene Wenger has stuck to a back three for most of the summer and is expected to continue with his new system on Sunday. Similarly, Chelsea are set to use the same formation in which they won the league last year.
Arsenal 3-4-3: Ospina, Holding, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xhaka, Ramsey, Sanchez, Giroud, Ozil.
Chelsea 3-4-3: Courtois, Cahill, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Moses, Fabregas, Kante, Batshuayi, Morata, Willian.
Chelsea's tour of Asia lasted a few days longer than Arsenal's, with Conte admitting his players were exhausted by the end of their schedule in relentless humidity. Therefore, the condition of both teams is something that will come into play during this encounter.
With no Costa, Hazard, Bakayoko and Pedro, the champions have fewer options than Arsenal who have almost a full squad at their disposal and have also emerged victorious in their last eight matches at Wembley. With this in mind, Wenger's side looks likely to secure a win.
Verdict: Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea

Changing the interiors of a house is a lot more difficult than breaking it down and building it again. If you are looking forward to changing the interiors, then this ideabook will be of great help to you. It gets even trickier when you have a small place to decorate. Let's take a guide of this private residence in Camps Bay through its before and after pictures that complete change the home.
The interior designers chose a cool combination of blue and grey as it is very simple yet powerful.
Different shades of grey dominate the TV room to get a relaxing feel.
The private residency owner had toddlers, so the TV room was always full of toys, which almost so space to move around.
Custom made cabinets were built around the television, so that the toys can be stored away and hidden when guests arrive.
Sofa of the TV room is perfect for a family of four to relax, watch movies, and play games sitting on the cozy area rug.
The cabinet doors don't have handles but instead handles are carved into them, so that children aren't able to open them.
To provide extra storage, a built-in kitchen is ideal for such a tiny place.
Modern kitchen equipment always makes the kitchen look bigger and give an industrial appeal.
It is modern with a mid-century touch. The dining area is bright with all the natural light coming in through the glass doors.
Can you see how clustered everything looks? It gives a messy appearance to the kitchen.
In the after photos, the kitchen look much sorted with all crockery hidden behind the cabinets.
Dark colors of the bathroom before renovation made it look smaller.
The new tiles of the bathroom makes it look brighter and more spacious. The marble and herringbone pattern gives it a lot of character.
Extra storage everywhere works wonder and the bathroom is no exception to it.
Before renovation, the living room was a perfect example of a mess. The couch didn't match the carpet and there were too many things out on the display.
