Cryptocurrencies may be taking a hit, but Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) has been an unstoppable force in the crypto world lately. Despite its most recent downturn, its price is still up by more than 12,000% since this time last year.
It’s easy to look at numbers like this and imagine how much money you could make. After all, if you’d invested just $1,000 in Dogecoin one year ago, you’d have more than $120,000 today.
However, Dogecoin carries a lot of risk, and it can be a dangerous investment. The S&P 500, on the other hand, is a much safer alternative — though its returns come nowhere near what Dogecoin has earned over the past few months.
So, which option is more likely to make you a lot of money over the long run? Can Dogecoin help you “get rich quick?” Or should you take the slow-but-steady approach? Here’s what you need to know.
Looking beyond the numbers
It can be easy to get caught up in cryptocurrency fever and only look at the numbers. Dogecoin has earned a 12,000% return over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has “only” earned returns of around 40% in that timeframe.
Based on these numbers alone, Dogecoin seems like the obvious choice if you’re trying to get rich. But it’s critical to look beyond the numbers and examine the investment itself. Ask yourself what advantages this investment has over the alternatives and why it may or may not succeed over the long term.
Why is Dogecoin surging right now?
Dogecoin was created in 2013 as a joke based on an internet meme, which hurts its credibility right out of the gate. It also doesn’t have much (if any) real-world utility right now. The vast majority of merchants don’t accept crypto at all, but the ones that do are more likely to accept Bitcoin than Dogecoin. Without widespread adoption, it will be nearly impossible for Dogecoin to keep growing.
It’s also important to think about why, exactly, Dogecoin’s price has been skyrocketing. Whenever an investment’s fundamentals don’t match its price, that’s a red flag. Despite Dogecoin’s lack of real-world uses, its price has increased faster than most of its competitors. That’s a sign that something fishy is going on.
In Dogecoin’s case, its price has been artificially inflated by investors trying to make a quick buck. In many ways, Dogecoin is similar to meme stocks like GameStop and AMC. Both of these companies saw their stock prices skyrocket despite the fact that the businesses themselves were failing. Online investors were promoting the stocks to inflate their stock prices, only to sell their shares later and make a profit.
Dogecoin has gone through a similar process. After retail investors and celebrities like Elon Musk promoted the cryptocurrency, its price soared. That kind of growth isn’t sustainable, though, and Dogecoin’s price has already plummeted by more than 40% since mid-May.
Is the S&P 500 a better option?
While it’s possible to make a lot of money with Dogecoin, you’re likely to lose more than you gain. Unless Dogecoin develops a serious competitive advantage in the crypto industry, it’s unlikely to succeed over the long run, and you may lose everything you invest.
The S&P 500 may be less glamorous than cryptocurrency, but it’s a tried-and-true investment. It includes 500 of the largest and most stable companies in the U.S., which provides instant diversification and limits your risk.
Since its inception, the S&P 500 has earned an average return of around 10% per year. Of course, there will be years when you experience lower-than-average returns or even losses, because even the S&P 500 isn’t immune to volatility.
However, by investing in the S&P 500, you’re almost guaranteed to see positive returns over time. Despite all of its crashes over the years, it’s always recovered from each and every one of them. You may not experience explosive returns overnight, but you’re also far less likely to lose everything like you might with Dogecoin.
Also, given enough time, it is possible to get rich with the S&P 500. Say that you’re investing $300 per month while earning a 10% average annual return. Here’s approximately how much you could accumulate over time:
Number of Years
Patience is key when investing in the S&P 500, and it will take time to accumulate a significant amount of money. However, it’s a far less risky investment than Dogecoin. While you won’t get rich overnight, you’re much more likely to see consistent growth over time. And when it comes to investing, slow but steady wins the race.
10 stocks we like better than Dogecoin
When investing geniuses David and Tom Gardner have a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
David and Tom just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now… and Dogecoin wasn’t one of them! That’s right — they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.

Did you recently lose your job in Alaska? If so, you might be eligible for unemployment benefits, which are compensation available to employees who are temporarily out of work through no fault of their own. Although the basic rules for unemployment are similar across the board, the eligibility rules, prior earnings requirements, benefit amounts, and other details vary from state to state. Below you'll find information on collecting unemployment in Alaska.
In Alaska, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development handles unemployment benefits and determines eligibility on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must meet the following three eligibility requirements in order to collect unemployment benefits in Alaska:
Virtually all states look at your recent work history and earnings during a one-year "base period" to determine your eligibility for unemployment. (For more information, see Nolo's article, Unemployment Compensation: Understanding the Base Period). In Alaska, you can qualify for unemployment using either one of two different base periods: the regular base period or an alternate base period.
The regular base period is the earliest four of the five complete calendar quarters before you filed your benefits claim. For example, if you filed your claim in April of 2021, the base period would be from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. The alternate base period is the last four completed quarters before your claim's effective date.
To qualify for benefits in Alaska, you must have earned at least $2,500 in two quarters of the base period.
In Alaska, as in other states, you must be out of work through no fault of your own to qualify for unemployment benefits.
If you were laid off, lost your job in a reduction-in-force (RIF), or got "downsized" for economic reasons, you will meet this requirement.
If you were fired because you lacked the skills to perform the job or simply weren't a good fit, you won't necessarily be barred from receiving benefits. However, if you were fired for misconduct relating to your job, you may be disqualified from receiving benefits for six weeks. In Alaska, misconduct is defined as willful or wanton disregard for the employer's interests, including willful violation of reasonable workplace rules or standards of behavior and gross or repeated acts of carelessness. You might also be disqualified for willful and wanton behavior off the job in disregard of your employer's interests, if it makes you unfit to perform the job or has a direct and adverse impact on the employer's interests.
If you quit your job, you will be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits for six weeks unless you had good cause. In general, good cause means that your reason for leaving the position was job-related and was so compelling that you had no other choice than to leave. For example, if you left your job because of dangerous working conditions or sexual harassment that your employer refused to stop, you may be able to collect benefits. You may also remain eligible for benefits if you quit for certain compelling personal reasons, including a disability or illness that makes it impossible for you to perform your job duties; to care for a seriously ill family member; to relocate with a spouse (depending on the circumstances); or to escape domestic violence.
To keep collecting unemployment benefits, you must be able to work, available to work, and looking for employment. (For more information, see Nolo's article, Collecting Unemployment: Are You Able, Available, and Actively Seeking Work?) If you're offered a suitable position, you must accept it.
In Alaska, a suitable position is one that is in your occupation and meets the prevailing wage and working conditions in your local labor market. But, as time goes on, you must be more flexible in your job search. This may mean you have to accept work that pays less than your previous job.
In Alaska, you will be considered "available" for work only if you don't have any restrictions preventing you from taking a job if one is offered. For example, you must have transportation and child care arrangements.
You must engage in a good faith search for work. Each week, you must report the employers you contacted, the date of contact, and how you made contact.
If you are eligible to receive unemployment, your weekly benefit rate is based on your earnings during the base period. The current minimum benefit is $56 per week and the maximum is $370 per week. In addition, you can collect a dependent's allowance of $24 per week per dependent, for up to three dependents.
You may receive benefits for a maximum of 26 weeks. (In times of very high unemployment, additional weeks of benefits may be available.)
You may file your claim for unemployment benefits online or by phone. You can find online filing information, as well as regional telephone numbers for filing by phone, at the website of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
If your unemployment claim is denied, you have 30 days to appeal the decision to the Appeal Tribunal. The Tribunal will schedule a hearing before a Hearing Officer, who will receive evidence and hear witnesses, then issue a decision.
If you disagree with the Hearing Officer's decision, you may appeal it to the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development. If you disagree with the Commissioner's decision, you may file an appeal in court.
For more information on the unemployment process, including current eligibility requirements and benefits amounts, visit the Department of Labor and Workforce Development website.

It’s extremely rare for the UN to accuse a government of deliberate deception. But that’s exactly what just happened. On 24 July, the UN essentially accused Australia of deceiving the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). Amazingly, though, the Australian minister responsible – Peter Dutton – still remains in his post.
The issue at the heart of the UN statement was a situation that the UNHCR thought had been resolved. In November 2016, after years of protests by Australians, the Australian government announced that hundreds of refugees and asylum seekers imprisoned on the tiny island of Nauru and on Manus Island (Papua New Guinea) would be relocated to other countries, primarily the US. And the UNHCR was to oversee the entire operation. Canberra also reportedly agreed that refugees with family ties in Australia could rejoin their families.
UNHCR assistant high commissioner Volker Türk claimed that Peter Dutton had agreed that the UNHCR could present “compelling humanitarian cases with strong family links” for resettlement in Australia. And the UNHCR identified 36 people it wanted to resettle in Australia. All have either spouses, children, or parents living in Australia. The unity and protection of the family unit is a fundamental principle of international law.
But for Dutton and the Australian government, 36 people are seemingly 36 too many; because now, Canberra has apparently insisted that it will allow no refugees to relocate to Australia. Even if they have family there.
The UNHCR statement
In response, the UN said:
Australia’s policy of offshore processing in Papua New Guinea and Nauru, which denies access to asylum in Australia for refugees arriving by sea without a valid visa, has caused extensive, avoidable suffering for far too long.
Regarding the November 2016 relocation agreement and the UN’s promise to help, the UNHCR’s Fillipo Grandi added:
Read on...Support us and go ad-free
We agreed to do so on the clear understanding that vulnerable refugees with close family ties in Australia would ultimately be allowed to settle there… To avoid prolonging their ordeal, UNHCR has no other choice but to endorse the relocation of all refugees on Papua New Guinea and Nauru to the United States, even those with close family members in Australia… There is no doubt these vulnerable people, already subject to four years of punishing conditions, should be reunited with their families in Australia. This is the humane and reasonable thing to do… There is a fundamental contradiction in saving people at sea, only to mistreat and neglect them on land.
The full statement provides details of the number of refugees detained; namely around 2,500 refugees and asylum seekers since 2013. Of these, some 1,100 remain in Nauru, and 900 in Papua New Guinea.
Removal by stealth
The Australian government has begun to close down or under-resource the Manus Island detention camps, to force the detainees to live with PNG locals. Indeed, internal working documents reveal that conditions at the detention centre would be made progressively worse. And one leaked document described this plan in tabular form:
Meanwhile, several refugees have been assaulted in the nearest town to the detention centre, including two men attacked by a gang wielding an iron bar. And on Good Friday 2017, after a dispute about the use of a football pitch near the detention centre, a mob of PNG naval personnel ran riot. They shot at refugees and staff hiding inside accommodation blocks. In the aftermath, Dutton pushed out an outrageous fake story that the refugees had caused the riot.
Any consequences? Anyone?
— Greg Barns (@BarnsGreg) July 24, 2017
(Note: “ALP” = Australian Labor Party)
In June, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants published a report [pdf], reminding the Australian government of its legal and human rights responsibilities. But Canberra took no notice. And now, with the UN basically accusing Dutton of lying, there must surely be consequences. Especially when Australia is seeking the UN Human Rights Council seat.
Regarding the refugees on Manus and Nauru, meanwhile, the UN must step in and take over; as the current Australian government appears either unwilling, incapable, or both.

I used a couple stamp and die sets from Memory Box today…
So tickled with how cute this turned out! A little plane with personality!
Memory Box Flying High stamp set and Flying High die set…then I needed a city below, YES! I die cut the city scene from the Memory Box Open Studios Wide Open Spaces set. The perfect complementary size!
I think this could be used for a lot of occasions but would make up cute for a Valentine too!
This happy, singing moose is from the Memory Box Moose Crossing stamp set and Moose Crossing die set.
I LOVE all the accessory pieces in these stamp and die sets! So easy to mix and match and they die cut wonderfully with the magnetic platforms. I don’t tape down with these at all!
The music notes are from the Hoppy Holiday stamp set and Hoppy Holiday die set. A super cute frog set that will make cute love/valentine/anytime cards also!
Mr. Moose’s sweater is stamped with the cross hatch cloud stamp from the Flying High stamp set! It worked out perfect upside down! lol Tip…if a little inks over to the white border… yep, that good ‘ole white gel pen to the rescue!
He is colored with Copic Sketch Markers.
I used the poppystamps Classic Ribbons dies for the two little banners in the upper left corner. The little heart die is from the Memory Box Cross Stitched Hearts dies. The big heart die cut from the red panel and the white heart are both cut with the Memory Box Open Studio Cross Stitch My Heart die set.
The red panel is cut with Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Borders, partially die cut. Line up the cutting plates where you want it to stop cutting.
Versafine Black ink for the sentiment. A staple to hold the banners in place. I did ink the white heart background with a little Broken China Distress ink.
Love is in the air today in this post anyway! lol
Thanks for stopping by! and thank you so much for the get well wishes! It helps! : )
Shopping Links – what I used for these cards… * I love using the on the edge cutting plates for these images instead of the standard plates. They fit right on your platform and allow for faster crank through! I keep the stamp set and the die set in the same Avery Elle Pocket.

Starring: Peter Cushing, Yvonne Monlaur, Martia Hunt and David Peel
Director: Terence Fisher
Rating: Ten of Ten Stars
Dracula has been destroyed by Van Helsing, but his cult of vampiric corruption lives on. Van Helsign (Cushing) must save a young teacher (Monclaur) from the vile attentions of one of Dracula's disciples (Peel).
This is a curious "Dracula" movie, because while he is invoked in the title, Dracula is very much a pile of ash back in his castle, having been dispatched at the end of "Horror of Dracula."
And, despite the lack of an actual appearance by Dracula, this is one of my very favorite Hammer Dracula/vampire movies. It's even superior to “Horror of Dracula” in several ways, making it among the rarest of sequels.
First, the Baron’s castle from the first part of the movie features some spectacular sets; the sequence in the vampire's castle when the innocent Marianne comes to realize that she is trapped in a house of madness and evil, is quite possibly one of the most effectively creepy things in any Hammer movie, period.
Second, Cushing is at the top of his game here. His performance is full of zeal and it is the best he gave in any of the Hammer Films he was featured in. The mixture of horror and steely determination that he gives Dr. Van Helsing as he confronts the vampires and their twisted human servants is very well acted. He is also served well by a plot that allows the Van Helsing character to shine, fantastic sets, and excellent lighting and camera work that constantly reinforces the film’s gothic horror tone.
Finally, the climax is one of the most thrilling of any of Hammer’s vampire movies, and Baron Meinster’s doom provides the best death of any vampire in their productions.
All in all, “Brides of Dracula” may be the best film director Terence Fisher ever made. It is certainly the best of all Hammer’s Dracula movies. (And it’s quite possibly made stronger by the fact that Dracula is nowhere in it. I think Peel’s evil, bug-eyed Baron Meinster comes across as far more sinister and evil that Lee’s staid and distant Count Dracula ever did.)

His smash debut single ‘Keep Calm’ has been dominating the airwaves all over the country and is proof that 17-year-old Storm is destined for great things. He is working hard on his debut album and has recently released his follow-up single ‘Get Ready’. I sat down with the singer and spoke about the success of his debut single, his campaigns and what the future holds.
Where did your love of music begin?
I’ve always been surrounded by music. At the age of 3 I was hanging around in the company of my cousin and Dale from Prime Circle. They use to jam a lot and I’d be there jamming with them. Music took a back seat in primary school and I focused on sports and academics and then when I got to high school, music was piercing the barriers.
You’ve been involved in a few projects before you launched your debut single. Tell us more about that.
At the age of 15, I started a foundation called the Storm in Africa foundation which raises awareness about communities impacted by violence. I then was involved in a music festival which saw me perform on the same stage as Blackbyrd, Locnville, Vin Deysel, Euphonik, Mean Mr Mustard and more. Last year I teamed up with a few other musicians where we recorded a song called Say No to Xenophobia. Shortly after that I started working on Keep Calm.
Keep Calm has a groovy, funk beat. Why go in this direction and not the typical pop sound young artists are going for these days?
Well, it’s not too far off from the pop sound. It does have elements from the 80’s mixed with a bit of deep house which is really cool and also attracts the youth as well as the older generation.
Keep Calm has become a huge radio hit. How has life changed since the song took off?
It’s actually crazy. I feel like I’m dreaming and I need someone to pinch me. Life has become very busy but I am loving every second of it. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
The video looked super fun to shoot. Tell us more about the day on set.
It was absolutely amazing. There was such an awesome vibe. Everyone was having a good time singing and dancing and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I think all in all everyone had a great time, but there was a lot of hard that went into shooting it. It was awesome working with an amazing cast and pretty models. We had a large amount of support which made shooting the music video so much easier.
What does the future hold for Storm?
‘Get Ready’ is playing on the airwaves at the moment. I am also off to Nashville to compete in the Super Xtars finale later this year and I’m working with some exciting DJs on new music!

In 1997, the container ship Tokio Express was hit by an incredibly strong wave that tilted the ship, knocking 62 containers into the sea, just 20 miles from Land's End in Cornwall.
One of the containers held 4.8 million pieces of Lego, bound for New York and now, nearly two decades later, tiny pieces of the plastic construction toys continue to wash up along both the north and south coasts of Cornwall, as well as Devon, Wales and Ireland.
"We have a family home on the cliff tops in south Devon and we first started to notice Lego washing up ashore in the late 1990s," Tracey Williams tells IBTimesUK.
"I had young children and we used to do treasure hunts on the beach for years. In our local community, it became quite popular to search for these Lego pieces, and finding a green Lego dragon or octopus was considered to be one of the top ten items to find, so if you found one, your neighbour wanted to find one, too."
Lego lost at sea
Williams moved to live in Cornwall four years ago and was so amazed to see Lego pieces were still washing up on beaches, such as the Cornish Perran Sands, that she set up a Facebook page called "Lego Lost at Sea" to document people's findings.
"We didn't know where it was coming from in those days. I was intrigued when I moved here that it was still turning up so I Googled it and I found some articles written about it in the late 90s in the US, so I decided to set up a Facebook group as friends said they were finding more Lego, too," she explains.
According to the ship's manifesto, the Lego toy kits lost at sea included products you might remember from old Lego catalogues like Pirates, Divers, Aquanauts, WildWest, RoboForce TimeCruisers, Outback, Police and FrightKnights.
It is often quite amusing for beachcombers (people who comb beaches looking for items of value or interest, or people who just want to help clean the beach) to find tiny Lego seaweed, pairs of diver flippers, brown ship rigging nets, scuba gear and yellow life preservers coming out of the sea.
Deadly to marine life
Nevertheless, the Lego represents a serious pollution problem as the pieces are so small that sea life and birds can easily choke on them.
And there are many more items that come out of the ocean, according to Williams, who is part of an organisation in Cornwall called Two Minute Beach Clean, which encourages people to spend two minutes cleaning the beach every time they visit it, and then to post photos of the litter they have found on Twitter or Instagram.
"We've found huge amounts of fishing gear like lobster tags that comes from Canada and the US. I've also picked up many messages in bottles, intravenous drip bags that spilled from a ship's container in 2008. It's worse in the winter," says Williams.
Williams has also found toothbrushes, lighters, thousands of glow sticks, numerous shotgun cartridges, and last year at a group cleaning session, the beachcombers picked up half a million micro pellets of plastic, which are particularly deadly for marine life.
According to US oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who has tracked the story of the Lego spill since 1997 on his website Beachcombers' Alert, the Lego could eventually make its way onto beaches in other countries.
"It takes three years for sea debris to cross the Atlantic ocean, from Land's End to Florida. Undoubtedly some Lego has crossed and it's most likely some has gone around the world. But there isn't any proof that it has arrived as yet," he told the BBC.

What Wines Should You Enjoy with Your Thanksgiving Meal
What's the best part about Thanksgiving?
Personally, it's all about the food. Delicious roasted turkey, a variety of creative side dishes, and always leave room for mouthwatering desserts!
The next best part?
The wine of course! There are so many choices when it comes to what wines to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal with. To help, I've discovered a blog post by Best Wine Reviews that is super informative!
The Best Wine to Pair with Turkey:
In general, you can't go wrong with Pinot Noir for your delicious roasted turkey. This is because Pinot Noir is considered to be the darling of poultry pairing in the wine world! It has a light to medium body and features subtle flavors of fruity and earthy tones.
Pinot Noir has an acidity that has been known to bring out the most succulent of flavors of turkey - It also pairs deliciously with ham.
The runner up for the best wine to pair with turkey is Zinfandel - America's sweetheart wine! It's an ideal pairing with Thanksgiving dinner dishes for its low tannin levels and can moisten a dry turkey.
The Best Wine for Turkey and Cranberry Sauce:
Sweet Riesling complements the sweet flavors of turkey and cranberry sauce.
The Best Wine for Turkey and Gravy:
Dry Riesling features high acidity that balances out the rich flavors of turkey and gravy. It also is a great palate fresher, allowing you to enjoy other rich dishes after a bite of stuffed turkey!
The Best White Wine for Thanksgiving:
White wines are the perfect choice to pair with Thanksgiving dishes that are light, fruity, or creamy. However, the best white wine for Thanksgiving dinner must have a well-balanced acidity that matches well with the richness of certain dishes - such as, gravy and mashed potatoes.
Chateau Puygueraud Blanc is produced is Bordeaux, which is famous for growing and making red wines. This white wine comes from the region's small area of land dedicated to producing white wine. Made of 100% Sauvignon Blanc and Gris, this decadent bottle offers a citrusy, crisp, dry minerality that presents notes of florals and exotic fruit flavors.
The Best Red Wine for Thanksgiving:
Red wine in mild varieties is best for Thanksgiving because it complements dishes rather than overshadows them. The light berry flavors of red wine pair well with the heartiness of Thanksgiving menus.
Domaine des Billards Saint-Amour is a light-bodied red wine that is made from Gamay Noir grapes. It is popular during Thanksgiving as its timing of the annual release happens in the 3rd week of November. Its primary flavors are black fruit and floral lilac with the perfect balance of tight and sweet tannins and notes of tropical fruit flavors, according to Best Wine Reviews.
The Best Dessert Wine for Thanksgiving:
So, you've finished your deliciously rich and filling Thanksgiving dinner and now it's time for the real celebration with sweets and desserts! The best pairing for dessert is dessert wine that is sweet with low acidity and alcohol levels.
What's the most traditional Thanksgiving dessert? - Pumpkin pie of course! Riesling is known for its sweetness, which makes it the perfect match for your traditional pumpkin pie dessert.

The Groveland Fire Department recently purchased a protective gear rack thanks to the generosity of a former member of the department.
James Chooljian, a Groveland resident and member of the Groveland Fire Department, died in 1995 followed by his wife in 2002. Fire Chief Robert Valentine and the Groveland Fire Fighters Association said the Chooljians’ estate donated money in 2006 to the Association for the sole purpose of purchasing equipment for the Fire Department. Over the years, Groveland Fire has also purchased several other pieces of equipment items with the bequest.
“We are extremely grateful for this funding, and I want to acknowledge James Chooljian for this generous donation he left us,” said Valentine. “This is a major improvement for us, especially in how we properly store our wearable gear and makes a huge difference for everyone.”
The previous gear racks were built by Groveland firefighters, and firefighters had to keep their gear on the ground, where it couldn’t dry properly between calls. If firefighters responded to a call in the rain or snow, their gear would sit in puddles, not able to dry properly, often still being wet and cold when department members raced to the next incident.
The new gear rack can hold coats, helmets, boots, pants and all necessary wearable firefighting gear, allowing gear to dry properly between calls.

After making heads turn and grabbing eyeballs Kylie Jenner got the best birthday gift. The star on her 20th birthday was gifted a wax statue at the Maddam Tussauds. The Life Of Kylie star attended the grand unveiling of her wax statue in Hollywood.
At the unveiling, Kylie was shocked to see the similarities between her and the statue to an extent that she even face time her family and fooled them. Yes, you heard us right. Even her family couldn't figure out which was the real Kylie.
The statue showcases Kylie's look from 2016 Met Gala where the diva wore the metallic heels and dress and sported short hair.
Kylie shared a picture of the same on her Instagram and captioned it saying, "I made her FaceTime my whole family .. fooled everyone ??"
She even shared another full-length picture of her wax statue and the caption of it read, "thanks @tussaudsla for this amazing honor! ? go visit my girl tomorrow in Hollywood and see the actual dress I wore to the Met Gala last year!"
Post which she wrote, "my wax figure is officially on the floor hanging in the A-List party room at @tussaudsla ? go check her out .."
The wax work cost $350,000 and took almost half a year to make. Kylie even recently featured in Forbes' magazine as the annual highest paid actress in the entertainer's list.
This wax statue is just another feather in Kylie's hat we think.
There's always more to the Jenners'.


SEMI-SLICK CENTER WITH MINION CORNERING KNOBS
DOUBLE DOWN DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tire casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro racer with the support and protection of a downhill tire, but in a lighter package.
The most important part of a tire is arguably the rubber compound within the tread. By changing the amounts of various components of the rubber formula, engineers can make two identical looking tires perform completely differently.
This tyre uses Dual Compound - Two compounds used within the tread of select tires to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.
Foldable beads also keep the tire secured to the rim but are lighter weight and easily transported. The bead is made of spun aramid or Kevlar® fibres
Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.

As well as blue skies and sunshine, summer brings the dangers of grass seeds and awns.
These can become lodged in many areas of our beloved companions, including the ears, nose, eyes and lungs.
Grass seeds are sharped sometimes barbed and can burrow through the skin and track throughout the body and cause your pet to be very unwell.
One of our special patients, Beamish, was poorly for several weeks with a high temperature, lethargy, poor appetite and vomiting.
He underwent surgery and a grass seed was located, migrating through the muscles of his side!
Immediately after its removal, Beamish felt much better, especially because he got to wear his special recovery jumper.
Thank you Fiona, Chloe, Linda, Emma and of course Maxine – on reception – for looking after Beamish.

Pea harvests down 20% due to high winter temperatures
Quality will be "excellent" despite the circumstances and lower yield
Producers of 'garrofal' peas expect a decrease of 20% for this year's harvest in comparison to last year but with "the same quality as always." The smaller harvest is due to the high temperatures during the winter.
"I don't think we will harvest as much because, although we have been able to irrigate, the peas need cold and rain. We assume that we will have about 80% of last year's harvest," Joan Mora, one of the pea farmers, explains to the Catalan News Agency.
He assures that the quality of the peas will be "excellent," and the weather only impacted the amount of peas that can be harvested. The rainfall in the last few weeks didn't arrive in time for the pea plants to grow bigger and have more flowers.
"We depend on the climate, and we will have to adapt ourselves, like we've always done as farmers," says Mora.
Refusal to increase production
The three pea producers in Sant Andreu de Llavaners, "the Green Pearl" of Catalonia, have already sold their whole harvest.
"We are lucky that everything we harvest is already sold. We have a waiting list and when we harvest, we sell on a first come, first served basis," explains Mora.
Despite the high demand, the producers refuse to increase production because it would affect the quality.
There are five hectares being used for peas, every two years the ground needs to rest for a year, this forces the farmers to "play with the land they have and not make large productions."
Harvesting peas is also "costly" which also adds to the low production of this year. "It costs a lot to grow peas," Mora explains. He also points out that the three producers can harvest around one and a half tons each and three tons maximum on an annual basis.

White collar is a gain Heart For a lot of big law firms. A lot of big law companies have had achievement with attorneys With this practice spot. The shortage of consideration to this exercise place may are already on account of a normal malaise surrounding litigation-related perform that characterised 2015 at a lot of corporations.
Sometimes a bit organizing and can-electrical power is all you have to make your personal debt workable. Produce a finances and stick with it. Quit using your credit cards, Reduce back again on your spending, and commit much more within your money to spending off financial debt. Give priority to spending off charge cards with high interest fees.
Some individuals have income flow complications but are usually not however dealing with a credit card debt management disaster. You might want to consider your options very carefully prior to deciding to choose to file bankruptcy.
There are several ominous signals from my standpoint that appear to point that trouble could possibly be over the horizon:
The “electric powered” component of the follow area was regularly pretty Lively in all of 2015 and seems to be picking up. There are solid pockets of exercise With this exercise location in Ny, the District of Columbia and California.
This is a brilliant observe area for attorneys to pick out. For the most part, attorneys who do this kind of work are usually normally employable.
Securities-connected litigation is actually a shiny location inside the litigation area going into 2016. Though securities litigation is relevant to basic litigation, it is quite different due to the forms of attorneys that best regulation corporations are searching for. As best legislation firms are being referred to as on to protect securities lawsuits submitted from them, they are increasingly serious about using the services of attorneys with knowledge Performing for that Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
I had been ready to put a lot of real-estate have a peek at this site attorneys with normal qualifications in big American regulation corporations. I used to be capable to position attorneys who needed to relocate to other parts of the nation, attorneys without business enterprise who ended up relocating and had 40+ many years of working experience, attorneys from compact law firms into significant regulation corporations, attorneys who were unemployed and a lot more.
Yet another surprise of 2015 was that we observed a lot of scaled-down law corporations in small markets begin demanding sophisticated company attorneys. This transpired in upstate Big apple, many suburbs outside of major metropolitan areas and metropolitan areas, and plenty of scaled-down markets like the Dakotas and others.
The general paradigm for lateral law business employing has several straightforward principles. Commonly, legislation companies would like to retain the services of employed attorneys coming:
The market ought to keep on undertaking perfectly Except we've been, actually, inside of a bubble plus the bubble bursts. If this occurs then there may very well be sizeable challenges.
Trust and estates is usually a sluggish and regular follow place wherever matters transpire little by little and There's not a great deal of desire. The numerous need for have faith in and estates attorneys in 2015 was likely because of the strength of the economic climate as well as the corresponding creation of wealth.
It truly is as if these attorneys are stepping out from underneath a rock. Exceptionally, these attorneys can have invested their full profession over at this website on precisely the same circumstance.
Healthcare imp source has not been a scorching observe spot for legal recruiters. On the other hand, in 2015 it was very active. Just about each healthcare candidate I labored with was in the position to get several interviews and there have been a number of surprises:

Karangetang volcano news & updates:
Karangetang volcano (Api Siau island, Indonesia): short-lived eruption 19-21 July
Monday Jul 28, 2014 15:56 PM | DOOR: T
An comparably small eruption occurred last week at the volcano. Incandescent lava avalanches were reported to descend from the summit lava dome to the SE, towards the area of Batu Awang, during 19-21 July.
MODIS hot spots at Karangetang volcano last week (MODVOLC, Univ. Hawaii)
It seems to have been a short-lived and relatively small event that did not form the feared pyroclastic flows (which Karangetang is notorious for): avalanches of gas-rich fresh lava that detaches from the dome and/or lava flows and turns into devastating hot turbulent flows that can reach many kilometers distance.
A thermal hot spot visible on MODIS data also suggested that fresh lava was present at the summit dome and on the flanks. The signal disappeared during the past days and no more news about volcanic activity were found.
VSI keeps the alert level of the volcano at Siaga ("alert") (3 on a scale of 1-4).
Wednesday, Sep 04, 2013
A new eruption could be underway at the volcano. VSI raised the alert to 3 (Siaga, alert) on a scale of 1-4, following the observation of incandescent lava at the summit and glowing rockfalls on the eastern side into the Batuawang ravine. Strong degassing generates a plume rising up to 500 m. ... [meer...]
Monday, Jul 29, 2013
VSI has decreased the alert level from 3 (Siaga, Alert) (since 8 August 2011) back to 2 (Waspada, watch). No lava emissions/ejections have been observed since 7 July and seismic actity has been decreasing over the past weeks. No hot spot is visible on satellite imagery. [meer...]
Tuesday, Apr 09, 2013
An eruption has occurred this morning. VAAC Darwin signaled a volcanic ash cloud reaching 14,000 ft (4.3 km) altitude and extending 25 nautical miles to the WNW. VSI maintains the volcano on yellow alert (since 2011). According to a news article, pahoehoe lava flows traveled 150 m and rock avalanches traveled 2 km down the flanks on that same day. [meer...]
Sunday, Jan 27, 2013
A thermal hot spot is visible at the summit and suggests that some activity continues. [meer...]

Wednesday, Jan 02, 2013
Thermal anomalies are becoming more frequent at Karangetang since mid December after being absent during the month before. No ash emissions have been observed, but it is likely that the volcano has started to produce some minor activity at the summit dome. [meer...]

Environment Sod offers buffalograss as netted slab and big roll sod. Buffalograss is a warm season, native prairie grass. Many turf-like varieties have been recently developed and are now available. It is a warm season growing turfgrass with multiple use applications. It has a medium leaf texture that maintains a grayish-green color. It is recommended for low maintenance lawns, commercial sites, roadsides, athletic fields and golf courses.
Requires full sunlight. Should not be used in shaded areas.
Has excellent heat and cold tolerance – easily tolerates conditions in all the growing zones serviced by Easton Sod Farms
Enters dormant stage in winter months.
Will tolerate sustained periods of drought if well established.
It has good wear tolerance. It has a fairly shallow root system and should be limited to areas receiving moderate traffic. It spreads by rhizomes in warm season and has good recovery to injury.
RULES OF THUMB MAINTENANCE:
The amount and frequency of watering, mowing and fertilizing depends upon the desired appearance of your turfgrass. Guidelines for maintenance procedures are offered below as good rules of thumb to follow on an as needed basis in maintaining healthy turfgrass with an attractive appearance.
One of the most drought tolerant grasses available. After initial establishment, very little watering is required.
Will tolerate frequent and close mowings or left unmaintained will grow to height of 5-6 inches. Recommended mowing height is 2 to 3 inches. Suggested not removing more than 1/3 of the leaf growth during a single mowing.
Apply 1 to 2 lbs per SF of a full analysis fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphate and potassium; such as 19-19-19 twice per year. Suggest obtaining a soil test for specific fertilizer requirements.
Weed growth competes with turfgrass growth. Good maintenance practices of your turfgrass helps eliminate weed problems. However, it may be necessary even under the best of turfgrass care, to apply herbicides to maintain weed free turfgrass. Contact your local County Extension agent or herbicide dealer for recommendations for your type turfgrass. Herbicides containing 2-4D may not be utilized for weed control on Buffalograss.


Their analysis indicates pathogens levels have dropped since the implementation of federal regulations on treating sewage in 1993. These treatment guidelines have proven to be extremely effective with 94% to 99% of all pathogens in biosolids eliminated after wastewater treatment.
“This is the first major study of its kind since federal regulations for wastewater treatment were implemented in 1993,” says Dr. Ian Pepper, one of the authors of the study and the director of the University of Arizona’s Environmental Research Laboratory.
The term biosolid refers to sewage sludge that has under gone a certain level of treatment and is divided into two classifications. Class A biosolids undergo a high level treatment and do not show any signs of pathogens. In contrast, Class B biosolids receive a lower amount of treatment and have been found to contain bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens.
Around 5.5 billion kilograms of biosolids are produced annually in the United States, with the vast majority being Class B. Approximately 60% of the annual production of biosolds is used as agricultural fertilizer.
Pepper adds, “By analyzing the data before and after 1993, the Arizona group was able to determine the influence of the regulations on the incidence of pathogens in Class B biosolids. The study showed that fecal coliforms and virus concentrations are now generally lower than before the 1993 regulations.”
Class B biosolids from the Pima County Ina Road Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tucson were analyzed from 1988 to 2006. Additional samples were collected between 2005 and 2008 from wastewater treatment plants in California, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. ALL the samples were analyzed at the University of Arizona.
The study is published in the November – December 2010 issue of the Journal of Environmental Quality.

Many tourists in the past have received challans and fines from the Ladakh administration for not following rules near the Pangong Lake. The high altitude saltwater lake attracts thousands of tourists every year from various parts of the country. To maintain the lake and the ecological balance of the place, Ladakh police have strict orders to not enter the lake with a vehicle.
I am sharing again an another shameful video . Such irresponsible tourists are killing ladakh . Do you know? Ladakh have a more than 350 birds species and lakes like pangong are the home of many bird species. Such act may have risked the habitat of many bird species. pic.twitter.com/ZuSExXovjp
— Jigmat Ladakhi 🇮🇳 (@nontsay) April 9, 2022
The video shared Jigmat Ladakhi shows three occupants in an Audi Q3. Two of them are out from the sunroof while the driver takes the vehicle through the Pangong Tso. There is a table with assorted alcohol in the video as well. We are not sure if the act is done under the influence of alcohol.
Even though the registration number of the vehicle is clearly visible in the video, the Ladakh administration is yet to take any actions against the violators.
It is illegal to get the vehicles into Pangong Lake. Locals believe that the lake is sacred and many worship the lake as well.
Vehicles often get stuck on the lake
There are numerous vehicles that get stuck on the banks of Pangong Lake every year. Even though the authorities have dug up tranches to solve the issue, many tourists go far off secluded regions to do suck illegal stunts.
Permanent structures are not allowed along the banks of the Pangong Lake due to the sensitivity of the region. The authorities keep a vigilant eye on such construction along the lake to make sure that the lake does not get affected by the human settlement.
Keeping the Pangong safe
— Stanzin Sonam🇮🇳 (@Stanzinss) October 23, 2021
The Pangong Tso is a high altitude lake it extends to Tibet. This is a holy lake for the Buddhists and even the locals of the region say that the lake is holy. That is why diving and taking a vehicle near the bank of this lake are not allowed. However, there are still many who defy these rules just to enjoy the moment.
It is not only about the Pangong Tso region but there are many such tourists spots across India where the visitors create a ruckus regularly. While most of the locals do depend on the tourists to earn a livelihood, they remain quite unhappy about the behaviour of the tourists.
This is why one should always be extra careful while visiting the tourist spots and ensure that they follow all the rules of the region. When the tourists do not follow the rules and regulations, most locals and authorities take drastic steps like barricading the area or even not allowing people to bring their own vehicles. That is why everyone should be a responsible tourist.

"Baked/Washed metal frames won't take a powder coat finish. Need help!"
April 21, 2010
I have metal tubes that are bent to dimensions. There are left and right side tubes. These tubes will be joined in an assembly process to create a frame for a motored devise.
The tubes were painted in China and I put them through a bake & wash stripping process to get the paint off due to defects. Once the stripped frames were powder coated (by a local professional), I put them into the assembly process and I am finding that the paint is chipping off (flaking off).
What process should I perform to prepare the frames so that they accept the powder coat without flakes? I thought after stripping them and wiping them down with an alcohol pad they would be ready for the powder coating process?
Other processes that I've performed: I've taken the baked and washed frames and I've wiped down with alcohol. I've also sand blasted the frames and they still won't accept the powder coat.
Baked and wash process: To explain my bake and wash process, I took the painted frames that I wanted stripped and sent them to a paint stripper. The paint stripper placed all frames in a basket and put the frames in an oven where the temperature went o 840 degrees F. they stayed in the oven for ~8 hours. The parts were taken out, cooled down, and the pressure washed to get the paint off. Then they were dried overnight.
I need help. Any suggestions?
3rd party service provider - Duncan, South carolina, USA

Sounds as though you have carried out the cleaning process to most applicators requirements. Try this:
1) With a silver coin gouge a groove in the powder coat film.
1a) If the edges of the groove are smooth... the powder is fully cured.
1b) If the edges show a jagged edge then the powder is under-cured and this is the reason the powder is flaking off.
2) If OK and no bad edges then try a coat of wash primer to improve adhesion.
3) If your coater has iron phosphate pretreatment facilities try that... zinc phosphate would be better as it also improves the overall corrosion resistance of the coating system.

It doesn't seem to me that it would be any harder than telling your local powder coater that you want a paint job that doesn't chip off and let him define and execute the process. If he can't do it, find one that can.

Wear-Resistant Mill Liners That can be Customized
The ball mill liners is used to protect the cylinder from the direct impact and friction of the grinding body and the material. At the same time, different forms of liner can be used to adjust the movement state of the grinding body to enhance the grinding effect of the grinding body on the material. , Help to improve the grinding efficiency of the mill, increase the output, and reduce the metal consumption.
- Applicable equipment:
Mill, vertical ball mill, lattice ball mill, overflow ball mill, tubular ball mill, rod mill, cement ball mill, etc.
- main material:
High manganese steel, new composite materials, modified high manganese steel, new high manganese steel, ultra high manganese steel, super high manganese steel, modified high manganese steel, multi-element alloy steel, high (low) chromium cast iron, etc.
- Applicable materials:
Ball mill is the key equipment for crushing materials after crushing. It is widely used in the production industries of cement, silicate products, new building materials, refractory materials, fertilizers, black and non-ferrous metal beneficiation, and glass ceramics. It is used for dry or wet grinding of various ores and other grindable materials.
- Ball mill liner classification
Ball mill liners are generally divided into five categories according to their use parts: cylinder liner, grinding head liner, partition board, grinding grate board, manhole liner and special liner. Special liner refers to components with special functions, such as retaining ring, ring, etc., although it is no longer a protective part in the traditional sense, we still call it a liner, and are classified as a special liner. class.
- Ball mill liner material
The liner material has developed from early high manganese steel, nickel hard cast iron, ordinary white cast iron, etc. to today’s several series of hundreds of varieties, mainly alloy steel, high and low chromium cast iron, austempered ductile iron and other materials. A flourishing situation in China.
- Ball mill liner shape
Its shape is no longer a simple plate shape, corner spiral, rounded square liner, groove liner, its many forms and complex shapes, there are too many to mention. So in production practice, the specific material and structure of the lining board should be selected according to the specific working conditions.
Structure and characteristics of ball mill liner
⒈High wear resistance and impact resistance
In dual-medium quenching, the alloy steel liner has a scientific and reasonable alloy element formula, so that the liner has good physical and chemical properties. The hardness is above HRC45-55, the impact toughness value is above 25J, and the service life is more than twice that of high manganese steel. Able to withstand huge impacts. The surface shape of the liner can be maintained for a long time during work to ensure that the mill can increase the output by more than 5%.
⒉High strength and high toughness
During the quenching process of the liner, the special dual-medium quenching agent with good thermal stability is used as the medium to make the product achieve the combination of high strength, high hardness and high toughness to meet the technical requirements of wear resistance
⒊High cost performance, strong adaptability
After the advanced dual-medium quenching process, it has the characteristics of high quenching hardness and high toughness value, so that the liner has good wear resistance. Compared with the high-manganese steel liner, the medium-alloy dual-medium quenching medium alloy steel ball mill lining The board showed an excellent cost performance. It can adapt to mine wet grinding, dry grinding, mixed grinding, etc.
Common technical parameters
|Model||Rotating speed of cylinder（r/min）||Ball load（t）||Feed size（mm）||Discharge size（mm）||output（t/h）||Motor Power（kw）||Machine weight（T）|
The above only lists some models of ball mills.
Liner of ball mill The domestic high-manganese steel is gradually replaced by medium-alloy steel liner, but with the continuous application of medium-alloy steel liner in ball mill liner, it has gradually replaced manganese steel and other liners to become the mainstream of market development. The cylinder liner not only protects the cylinder, but also has an impact on the movement of the grinding body. In order to meet the requirements of various working conditions (crushing or fine grinding), the shape of the liner is also different. When pulverization is the main method, the liner is required to have a strong ability to push the grinding body, and at the same time, the liner should have good impact resistance. When fine grinding is the main method, the protrusion of the liner is relatively small. The pushing effect is weak, the impact is small, and the grinding effect is strong, which requires the liner to have good wear resistance
The added weight of the steel ball is based on the quality of the steel ball. The quality of the steel ball determines the amount of ore added per ton. It is best to use a new type of wear-resistant steel ball; chromium alloy steel ball is the main component of the wear-resistant rigid ball , Anti-oxidation performance and high sulfur resistance, diesel fuel, seawater corrosion performance is high, and the strength density is much higher than that of general metal.

Range Hood For Gas Stoves Buying Guide — Features Explained
The most common features of range hood for standard operations.
This is the unit to measure the power of the range hood which is cubic feet per minute, and is the most important consideration when choosing a range hood. The more air exhausted from the hood, the more power is needed.
Most gas stoves want between 600 to 1000 CFMs for the most efficient operation. To calculate what you’ll need, your minimum CFM, divide the total BTUs of your stove’s output (add all the BTU of each burner if they differ) and divide by 100.
Ductless or Recirculating systems
These systems move the air through loops and filter the air in the process to make it clean and safe. The recirculating systems bring the fresh air back to the kitchen. These systems are more suitable in big buildings where the ducts and vents to bridge the to the outside would be challenging.
The range hood is practically speaking, a big fan with extra features, and like any other fan or machine, it makes a sound. The more powerful and the more distance between the hood and the stove, then the more sound will be put out.
If you’re wondering how high should a range hood be above a gas stove, it should be between about 28 and 36 inches above the stovetop.
The new technology in modern range hoods has helped some range hoods to have a quiet operation making them more user-friendly, without compromising power.
The filters are used by the range hoods to capture the irritants and get rid of harmful residue that gets to the ducts or vents. The filters are both available in ducted and ductless systems which are vital for the systems. They can be of Aluminum which is the most common and very easy to clean and replace it.
Vented and Ducted Systems
These systems help the range hood by connecting them to the outside environment. Depending on the kitchen design, the systems should be a big consideration to avoid incompatibility.
Some of the top manufacturers have gone the extra mile to provide more comfort of operation to their products. Range hood may comprise lighting bulbs or LED, control options inform of touchpads or analog buttons.
The Placement Method: Where do you put a range hood?
There are many types of range hoods in the market and with different placements options. The most common placements of range hoods for gas stoves are as follows.
As the name sounds, the range hood rests on the wall and attaches to the cupboards. The wall mount reaches the outside environment faster compared to the others due to the wall mount.
This method has the hood attached to the cabinet under and above the range. It is the most common hood placement in most kitchen settings and creates a uniform style to give your kitchen a sense of great matching design.
In this method, the flue stretches over the range mostly common in island ranges to cover the chimney.
How to Choose the Best Range Hoods For Gas Stoves
There are many factors to look at when choosing the right range hood for your gas stoves. You always have to ensure all your kitchen needs are considered and well captured. The following will help to make a better decision for your range hood.
Noise is a disturbance to your household and keeps off people in need of a quiet environment. Your kitchen needs a range hood with less noise and there are many range hoods with quiet fans in the market as well.
You can measure the noise levels by using the sones or decibels which are the measuring unit. The higher the decibels, the louder the range hood will be thus a quieter option is more preferable.
I would advise for a fixed wall-mounted model especially for customers on a budget because they are the cheapest on the market.
The shape of the range hood is a factor to be considered like the canopy shaped are great for installing on ceiling especially for island range hood. These range hoods are large in size to fit in serious kitchens with multi-burner gas stoves. They are very powerful and so the price is a bit pricey but worth the value.
Duct vs Ductless
The duct connects the range hood to the outside to create proper ventilation in the kitchen. If you don’t want to use the duct, then the ductless model is another option to consider which is cost-effective to install.
The ductless compared to the duct model is that they can’t get rid of all the emitted vapors and heat from the kitchen range. The ductless use charcoal filters to absorb the emissions of the gas stove and needs to be replaced regularly.
The ducted model is more efficient than the ductless because it connects to the outside increasing the number of vapors eliminated.
Depending on the kitchen setup, one of the options will be helpful to get rid of harmful smoke and heat in the kitchen. If you’re choosing a ducted range hood, the shorter distance over which you can run that ductwork, the better. This will increase the efficiency and efficacy of the hood at removing the unwanted air contaminants.
Also, with ducted range hoods, you’ll need a wider duct the higher the CFM is, otherwise, you risk decreasing the efficiency of the motor.
Power & airflow
The power of the range hood should be sufficient to operate and get rid of the fumes with ease. You need to check the CFM of the range hood to make sure it will be up to the task of your kitchen needs. A higher CFM is more suitable to enable a clean and fresh kitchen environment.
Range hoods that are retractable are mostly suitable for small size kitchens or the cabinet is directly above the gas stove. The retractable range hood pulls out when needed to function in the kitchen which can great to space management.
The mounting type of the range hood is a big factor to consider for how to fit the device to your kitchen. Some range hoods are easy to fit and others are complex which needs a contractor to fit them. Some of the common mounting types include the following:
This version installs against the wall and works well with a duct system to connect to the outside. The measurement differs for the range hoods, thus it’s important to know the measurements for excellent fitting to the wall. They can also use a ductless system too.
If the kitchen has a cabinet above the gas stove, then you will need to use under cabinet range hood models. They are easy to install even you can do it yourself. Compared to other models, the under cabinet range hoods are not as powerful as the wall-mount models.
The range hoods are installed to hang from the ceiling and are very light to enable them to hang without adding extra weight to the ceiling. They have an attractive design but they are less powerful than the wall-mount models.
The best range hoods for gas stoves make operations in the kitchen easier and healthier environment. For best results and powerful range hood, most of the above listed are capable of the performance.
The budget-friendly range hoods are also available with high value. All these range hoods will give the performance you are looking for and stay fresh in the kitchen.
