![]() ![]() I like to use the battery on the low-medium setting since it has the best temperature for low-temperature dabbing, and I could feel the rush of THC and taste the terps during each rip. Both atomizers have low draw resistance, so taking big rips is no problem at all.Īs for the vapor quality, both the Quartz and Ceramic coil are optimized for flavor, with the slight edge going to the Quartz. On the other hand, if you want to slowly heat the wax to get most of the flavor in your dab, the Ceramic coil is recommended. The Quartz coil is the ideal choice for quick-start sessions since it heats up instantly rather than the Ceramic coil. The Blaze is 510 threaded, so the atomizers can be used with different, compatible batteries. Make sure that you never soak the atomizer in alcohol. Switch to the blue setting and use a q-tip or cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol to clean out the atomizer. ![]() Turn it on and adjust it to the red setting to burn off any wax residue. For the Ace Quartz Atomizer: Turn the Blaze upside down over a sink or with a paper towel beneath it.Once the time is up, allow the atomizer to air dry before reattaching it to the battery. Make sure that only the ceramic plate is submerged and not the entire atomizer. Remove the atomizer and, with it facing down, partially submerge the atomizer in a container with isopropyl alcohol for two hours. For the Zero Ceramic Atomizer: Set the Blaze to the highest temp setting while holding it upside down to burn off any excess residue.Soak the metal filter in iso alcohol for two hours to clean it. For the mouthpiece: Remove the mouthpiece from the rest of the device and use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside and outside of the glass.There are various ways to clean your wax vaporizer, and cleaning the Blaze is simple: It’s something we found out when we used it. Also, it’s worth noting that this feature isn’t in the manual. Since most vapes don’t have this feature, it is something to keep in mind. If you vape and then leave it alone for a while, it automatically locks up. The temp settings are color indicated from lowest to highest: Blue (lowest) | Green | Yellow | Red (highest)Īuto-Shutoff Feature: The Blaze has an auto-shutoff feature that is a bone of contention around the office and will likely be the same for most vapers. Temperature Settings: The user manual didn’t indicate the voltages of each temp settings. Inhale from the mouthpiece while holding the power button.Press the power button three times to pick any of the four temperature settings.Unscrew the mouthpiece and dab the solid concentrate no larger than a grain of rice.Press the power button five times to turn it on.Connect the atomizer of your choice on the Blaze. ![]() Like most vape pens, you must fully charge the battery before using it. The wide opening of each atomizer makes the loading process very simple and quite fast. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can drive your Impala among the antelope.

Rooney joined CBS in 1949 as a writer for “Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts,†a hit show of that day. He also produced “60 Minutes†segments during the broadcast’s first few seasons. During its first season in 1968 he appeared a few times in silhouette with Palmer Williams, “60 Minutes†senior producer, in a short-lived segment called “Ipso and Facto.†Rooney had been a contributor to “60 Minutes†since the show’s debut. He was a tender 59 years old, and, that fall, he became a regular contributor, delivering sometimes folksy, sometimes peppery observations on ordinary life under the title, “A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney.†And since “fewer people are watching television over the Fourth,†he added, “I suppose fewer die of boredom.†€œCar for car,†argued Rooney, “it’s one of the safest weekends of the year to be going someplace.†In fact, fewer people die of all causes on that weekend than at most other times, his research told him. Rooney began speaking his mind on “60 Minutes†in July 1978 with an essay about misleading reporting of automobile fatalities on the Independence Day weekend. The show’s leaders say Rooney has an open door. The correspondent on that was the spry Morley Safer, age 79. Rooney’s comment was preceded by a longer segment in which Rooney was the subject.

The case forced a reckoning within American industry, as workers realized they could sue their employers for unsafe working conditions, forcing the latter to better regulate potential dangers. Still, the women prevailed, and a jury awarded damages of $10,000 to each (roughly worth $150,000 in 2020), along with a $600 (about $9,000 now) a year payment for medical expenses. Indeed, by 1928, when the suit finally went to court, two were confined to their beds. The reason? They knew many of the women wouldn’t live out the decade. For several years, the “radium girls,” as they were dubbed in the press, battled a company determined to let the proceedings drag on for as long as possible. In the 1920s, a group of five women led by plant worker Grace Fryer decided to sue American Radium. There were three main factories in the United States dedicated to this work, but the most famous is the one in Orange, NJ, where Radium Girls is set. Radium dial painting started gaining traction around 1917 in the United States, to provide watches that soldiers heading off to the trenches of Europe could read in the dark. The new colour combination had also generated sharp reactions from medical experts.Īssistant professor of the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology of Gauhati Medical College Hospital, Deepak Bhuyan, said though green is visually soothing, it does not contrast with white and would create visibility problems, especially on foggy winter nights.Though Bessie and Jo are based on composites of real people, the story itself is rooted in truth. The decision to paint dividers white and green had generated a lot of heat, with the traffic branch apprehending a spurt in the number of accidents. Radium paint itself was eventually phased out and has not been used in watches since 1968. Sarmah, who is involved in the painting exercise, said once the radium paint is applied, the dividers would glow and drivers? vision would be undisturbed. The year before, the Food and Drug Administration banned the deceptive packaging of radium-based products. The decision was taken at a meeting of officials, private investors and citizens on the beautification of the city before the rally,? the official added.Īssam Real Estate and Infrastructure Developers Association president P.K. We also wanted to check how a change in colour would look. ?It is mandatory only on national highways. The official said the decision to change the colour scheme was taken after a go-ahead was received from the public works department, which clarified that black, yellow and white was the preferable colour combination but not mandatory within city limits. As a result, the possibility of accidents owing to the departure from conventional black-and-white can be ruled out. He said the radium paint would serve as luminescent reflectors at night. Stung by criticism over painting road dividers and flyovers in the city with white and mint green on the eve of the Indo-Asean car rally, Dispur has taken the decision with alacrity.Ī senior official said a huge quantity of white radium paint has been purchased from Delhi for application on dividers as well as flyovers in the city. Workers have started applying coats of luminescent radium paint on dividers to preclude visibility problems for drivers. 8: Guwahati will now be able to reveal its true colours ? and motorists will surely thank Dispur for that!

If you choose not to buy a cleaning solution, it’s pretty straightforward to make your own and save some money. What Do You Use to Clean Laminate Flooring?Īfter your flooring is hoovered and dust-free, you’ll need a cleaning solution to mop on the laminate. Open the windows and doors for extra ventilation to speed up the drying process. After cleaning, allow your flooring to dry. Remember to drain your mop if it absorbs too much water, as you don’t want your flooring to get too wet. Lightly dampen your mop by spraying on some solution, then tackle your flooring. As bizarre as it sounds to use vinegar on flooring, it’s actually a remarkable cleaning solution that can achieve shiny results. Add 1 teaspoon of washing up liquid and mix your concoction together before putting it in a spray bottle. Simply combine 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water together. If you don’t want to buy a solution, you can easily make your own which is equally effective. Glide a microfibre mop sprayed in laminate floor cleaning solution across your floor. Other mops that could be suitable include a specific laminate floor mop or wood floor mop. ![]() They require less water than a standard mop, so you can ensure your laminate floor is in safe hands. These mops pick up dust while giving your floor an extra shine. In this case, the best solution when it comes to cleaning laminate flooring is a microfibre mop. The best mop for laminate floors is one that will pick up dirt, won't leave behind excess water and won't scratch. What is the Best Mop to Use For Laminate? Another big no is steam cleaners, again due to the levels of humidity, which could cause the laminate to lift. For this reason, it’s recommended to avoid a wet mop for wood floors, which could put your flooring at risk of damage. Therefore, while it can withstand moisture significantly more than solid wood flooring, it’s best to avoid excessive levels of water. Does Water Ruin Laminate Floors?Īlthough laminate flooring is highly durable and water-resistant, its inner core is made up of high-density fibreboard. ![]() Check out the list now and be on your way to sparkly laminate in no time at all. Below, we've collated the most commonly asked questions around maintaining and cleaning laminate floors. There's more to cleaning laminate floor than just running a wet mop over the top and hoping for the best. But why is this? To help you get the most out of your floor, here are our tips on keeping your laminate in good condition. While laminate is more moisture-resistant than solid wood, you still need to be careful when applying water to clean. When it comes to cleaning your laminate flooring, it’s easy to become confused. ![]() ![]() The position coordinates of the atoms in the unit cell are given as: (0 0 0) andįor identical atoms, f 1 = f 2 = f (say).

Strategist writer (and self-proclaimed stationery nerd) Lauren Ro has used the Hobonichi Techo Cousin, which she describes as “the larger, more souped-up version” of my beloved Techo for over a year. Layout: Daily | Size: 8.3 by 5.8 inches | Cover: Softcover “Oh, and if you’re wondering why all of the Smythson agendas on this list are ‘with pocket,’ it’s because the brand makes versions of its planners with or without a handy pocket on the back cover those without the pockets are usually cheaper, but I find the few extra bucks are worth it for a place to stash business cards, checkbooks (I keep mine in the pocket), and other small printed matter you might pick up over the course of a year,” he notes. The layout divides its dated calendar pages between full weeks (on the left) and a blank lined page for notes opposite each week of the year (on the right), which “is exceptionally helpful for setting weekly to-do lists I can start a week by listing my tasks (like schedule that annual physical) in the notes pages, and then, when I get around to each task, cross it off that list and easily add it to the calendar,” Rotunno says. “It is roughly the size of an iPhone 11, so it’s taller than it is wide,” he explains. Layout: Weekly | Size: 4 by 7 inches | Cover: Leather coverįor a less expensive option from Smythson, former Strategist senior editor Anthony Rotunno recommends the Memoranda Agenda he’s been using for five years in a row. I also love that the light gridding on each page grants every day some order but still gives me the space to dash off notes, lists, and doodles. The Hobonichi Techo has never torn on me and looks as good on December 31 as it did when I bought it the previous January. ![]() I’m not precious with my planners and tend to subject them to a lot of wear and tear. I find that it’s the perfect size to chuck into any bag and deceptively durable. As New York Magazine deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff wrote in her initial ode to the cult Japanese planner, “The leather-bound book is hefty and feels like I’m actually holding something substantial (unlike a Moleskine) while still being incredibly compact: It’s little bit taller than an iPhone 6 and about the width of a Kit Kat.” Strategist associate editor Louis Cheslaw praises the planner’s “hard-wearing cover, thin (but quality) pages for a slim profile, lie-flat opening, and compact size.” He has already placed his 2022 order and looks “forward to critiquing colleagues’ alternative planners” in the New Year. It definitely falls into the “if you know, you know” category of stationery. This long-term testing and devotion has earned it the top spot here. The Hobonichi Techo is a longtime Strategist favorite, used by three of our staffers (all three of whom have used the planner for years to stay organized). Layout: Daily | Size: 4 by 6 inches | Cover: Softcover ![]() Any of the 30 planners recommended below will surely go a long way toward keeping you on track this year. So to find the best planners, we talked to 28 productivity experts, life coaches, and people who love stationery (including a few Strategist staffers) about their favorites, then culled our archives for standout styles we’ve written about before. ![]() (I have, after all, updated this list faithfully every January and was tasked with selecting the best 100 notebooks for our massive notebook-testing story.) Leafing through the well-loved Hobonichi Techo planners I’ve used over the years brings me almost as much pleasure as scribbling in them did.Īnd while I’ve been devoted to Hobonichi Techo for most of my adult life, I’ve covered the Strategist’s stationery beat long enough to know that finding the right planner out of the very vast and very particular world of paper goods can be overwhelming. And once the year is complete, a physical planner becomes an artifact - a time capsule, if you will - of that calendar year’s happenings. There is plenty of research that shows how actually writing down your to-do list and schedule for the day - rather than typing it out on a laptop or iPhone - makes you feel more engaged in the task at hand. Instead of an app or gadget that claims to jump-start your productivity, consider investing in a good paper planner. ![]() |
