If you’ve ever applied for financing, it’s likely that the lender asked your permission to pull your credit report. Or maybe you are just getting started in the world of credit, and you’re wondering, “What is a credit report?”
A credit report is a record of your credit history and other data that’s reported to and compiled by credit bureaus. It’s an important document and the key to being able to do things such as finance a car or get a credit card.
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know — from what’s on your credit report to how credit reports affect your credit scores.
What’s on your credit report?
If you’ve never looked at your credit report before, the amount of information it has can be mind-boggling. But once you know what you’re looking at, it becomes more clear. Here’s a quick rundown of the different types of information you’ll see when looking at your report:
- Your name and any variations of it
- Current and previous addresses
- Employer information
- Credit card accounts
- Unsecured and installment loans
- Closed accounts
- Payment history
- Credit inquiries
- Accounts in collection
- Public records
What purpose does your credit report serve?
Lenders and other entities use your credit report for various purposes. For example, when you apply for a loan or credit, lenders check out your credit report to decide if they want to loan you money and at what interest rate.
Also, your current creditors might take a peek at your credit report to see if you continue to meet their terms. Other entities or individuals might use your credit report to help them decide whether to provide you with cell phone service, rent a home to you or offer you insurance coverage.
How many credit reports do you have?
Credit reports are generated by the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. So everyone that uses credit usually has three different credit reports. Keep in mind that each bureau might have different information on you: Some creditors and lenders report to all three bureaus, and some don’t.
Where does the information come from?
The important details about your credit come from a variety of places. Take a look at some of the sources:
- Banks or loan companies
- Credit card issuers
- Auto finance companies
- Mortgage providers
- Court records
Who has access to my credit report?
The short answer is that any individual or entity with a legitimate business-related need can likely access your credit report. Here’s a list of companies and people who might be able to look at your credit:
Both current and potential creditors can check out your credit to reassess your current terms or determine what kind of credit offer to make. Creditors include credit card issuers and auto finance companies.
If you’re interested in opening a new account, the bank or credit union might require a credit check for approval. People who don’t have good credit theoretically pose a greater risk of overdrawing accounts.
Another reason a bank might want to take a look at your credit is if you opt-in for overdraft protection — which can be linked to a line of credit.
Property Management Companies
If you apply to rent a home or apartment, the property management company may ask to pull your credit to see if you have a history of making on-time payments.
Statistics show that people with bad credit are more likely to file insurance claims. When you apply for insurance, the company might want to look at your credit as a condition of approval and to determine the rates it will offer you.
Phone and electricity providers might pull your credit to determine your risk level before providing or denying service. A lot of states prohibit companies from denying service to consumers with poor credit, so the company might protect itself by charging a deposit.
Other people or entities who have access to your credit report include employers, with your written consent; as well as collection agencies, government agencies and anyone who gets a court order.
Your credit reporting rights/laws
As part of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, certain credit reporting rights and laws exist to protect you. In addition, some states may have laws, which may offer additional protections.
For example, access to your credit report is limited without your consent. Plus, if you are denied for employment, credit or insurance, the entity denying you must tell you why and give you the contact information of the credit bureau that provided the information.
You also have the right to see your credit reports— in some cases, without a fee. Additionally, if you find any incomplete or inaccurate information, you have the right to dispute the errors. Credit bureaus must correct or delete any information in error.
You may also choose to limit unsolicited pre-screened credit offers based on information in your credit report.
Here’s some more information about your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act:
How often should I check my credit?
Some sources recommend checking your credit reports at least once a year, but a lot can change with your credit in 12 months. Consider signing up with a product that provides you with regular information about your credit reports and scores.
After all, good credit is the key to money-saving opportunities in the form of competitive financing offers.
Reviewing your credit report
Because lenders and others pull your credit report to find out what type of a credit risk you are, it’s important that you review your credit report for accuracy. Look for accounts listed on your report that don’t belong to you. Also make note of any incorrect payment statuses, balances or credit limits.
Each credit-reporting company has information on its website about how to interpret the codes you’ll find on your credit reports, such as UP CL, which stands for unpaid collection.
How your credit reports affect your credit scores
You already know that your credit reports from each credit bureau are probably going to contain different information — information that is used to calculate your credit scores. The missing or additional information in each report could be helpful or harmful to your credit.
So it stands to reason that if credit reports with varying information are used to calculate your different credit scores, each score might be slightly or even dramatically different than the others.
Where should I go from here?
Your credit report is an important piece of your financial picture. If you don’t keep on top of it, your credit and scores could suffer. Are you checking your reports and scores more often than once a year? Let us know in the comments.

A new clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana cuts costs and concentrates attention on patients by providing care without involving health insurance.
PureHealth Functional Family Medicine provides services through the direct primary care model, in which providers bypass insurance middlemen to reduce costs and government red tape. PureHealth Functional Family Medicine provides each patient with a package of routine visits in exchange for a regular monthly payment.
Indiana allows practices to use the DPC model, which does not rely on insurance companies to bill patients. There are currently 24 states that do not allow DPC.
Back to Patient Care
Stock, a longtime family medical practitioner in Indiana, says the direct primary care model enables him to provide better care for patients by allowing him to focus on their needs instead of how they pay for examinations and treatment.
“The fundamentals of DPC are that it takes all the financial worries off the doctor’s brain, and he can be concerned only with his patient’s needs,” Stock said. “Insurance companies, governments, and employers all pay doctors better if they see 10 people for six minutes versus seeing one patient for an hour. [DPC is] little more than a prepayment scheme for health care services, and the way you make money in a prepayment scheme is to have people buy lots of services but always at a budgeted rate.”
Improves Doctor-Patient Relationship
Government interference skews the relationship between doctor and patient, and Medicaid exacerbates the problem, Stock says.
“If a patient said they don’t value what the insurance company or the government values, the doctor would be conflicted over what was good for his patient and what was good for himself and his family,” Stock said. “Doctors actually have quotas for business they generate for the hospital, so they have an incentive to order lots of tests. This is never discussed with patients.
“Meanwhile, the states are going bankrupt paying for Medicaid, which the federal government forces on them,” Stock said. “The states that decided to expand Medicaid under Obamacare are getting financially pilloried by it. DPC is a way around the federal government.”
‘Can Work Almost Anywhere’
Matthew Glans, a senior policy analyst for The Heartland Institute, which publishes Health Care News, says DPC returns free market principles to the health care market.
“DPC can work almost anywhere,” Glans said. “Currently, primary care doctors face myriad regulations and a slow and costly reimbursement system that create overhead that can eat up to 60 percent of a typical primary care practice’s revenue. According to the Direct Primary Care Coalition, the number of direct primary care practices nationally has grown from a few in the early 2000s to more than 700 today. A state can open up their health care markets by declaring that DPC is not insurance, one the biggest barriers DPC providers currently face.”
Glans recommends states consider a DPC pilot program in Nebraska as a possible reform model.
“State legislators should also consider following the lead of Nebraska and implement a direct primary care pilot program,” Glans said. “Nebraska’s recently approved pilot program will run through 2022 and offer two DPC plans: a high-deductible option and a low-deductible plan. The program will include wellness incentives as part of the direct primary care health plans.
“Such a pilot program could prove to be an important test case for determining whether additional expansion should be considered,” Glans said.

Located in the vast remote land of Grand Staircase Escalante in southern Utah, the hike to Big Horn Canyon is an off-the-beaten path adventure that provides the opportunity to find some solitude while exploring two incredible slot canyons. While many people visit Grand Staircase to explore the more popular Zebra, Peekaboo and Spooky Slot Canyons, Big Horn Canyon remains off the radar of many. In this article, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to plan your hike to Big Horn Canyon in Escalante, and hopefully, convince you this hidden gem is worth adding to your itinerary!
Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument
Big Horn Canyon is located in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, a massive area of protected land encompassing over 1 million acres in Southern Utah.
In fact, Grand Staircase Escalante is the largest area of protected land in the United States. It was the last area to be cartographed in the U.S. and it still has that rugged, adventurous spirit that characterizes the American West.
You won’t find long entry lines or throngs of tourists. Instead, you may come across unsuspecting cows, who are only slightly more timid than they are curious, and large tracts of land filled with some of the most unique and diverse geological formations in the country.
Read more about Escalante
Big Horn Canyon in Escalante, Utah
- Hiking distance | 6 miles
- Elevation gain | About 380 feet
- Total time | 2-4 hours
- Epic-ness rating | 6
- Difficulty | Moderate
Find this hike on AllTrails: Big Horn Canyon Trail
While Grand Staircase Escalante itself is less visited than nearby national parks, like Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, Big Horn Canyon is off the beaten path even by Escalante standards.
Typically overshadowed by the more popular Zebra Slot Canyon and Peekaboo and Spooky Slot Canyons (P.S. these are popular for good reason – both are incredible and we highly recommend adding to your bucket list!), we think Big Horn Canyon deserves a place on any Escalante itinerary.
While perhaps less visually stunning than its neighbors, Big Horn Canyon offers something that other slot canyons in the area cannot: solitude!
When we hiked Big Horn Canyon, we were entirely alone in both slot canyons and only passed one other group of hikers on the entire trail. So if you’re looking to explore a slot canyon without bumping elbows, waiting in line to pass, and jostling for photos, Big Horn Canyon is the hike for you!
- Explore two unique slot canyons
- Ditch the crowds!
- Close to other great hikes in Escalante
- Trail can be difficult to follow
- Road to trailhead is washboard, dirt road
- Admittedly less visually stunning than other slot canyons nearby
Remember to Leave No Trace. Pack out what you pack in, stay on trail, be well-prepared, leave nothing behind, take only photos and memories with you, treat the area with respect and help preserve this beautiful spot for generations to come.
How difficult is the Big Horn Canyon hike?
Big Horn Canyon is a moderately difficult hike due to the distance and a few very minor rock scrambles, namely one large boulder blocking the slot canyon which must either be crawled under or climbed over. While the trail is fairly flat, much of the hike requires walking through sand, which adds to the difficulty level.
The most challenging part of the hike is staying on the trail, as the nature of the wash makes it hard to follow. We highly recommend downloading the trail map in advance for offline use, using an app such as AllTrails Pro or Gaia.
As with any slot canyon in Grand Staircase Escalante, you shouldn’t attempt to hike Big Horn Canyon if there is any rain in the forecast, as flash floods are possible in the canyon. Additionally, beware that heavy winds are possible, which can cause sandstorms in the canyon (so be prepared to cover your eyes and run!).
What to pack for hiking to Big Horn Canyon, Escalante
Before you head to Escalante to hike Big Horn Canyon, make sure you are prepared with the following essentials:
- Rain jacket or windbreaker | When we hiked Big Horn Canyon, heavy winds whipped through the canyon blasting sand around and stinging our skin. A windbreaker or rain jacket would’ve been great to have to break the sandy wind!
- Backpack with bladder (Hers: CamelBak Helena 20L, His: Camelback Rim Runner 22L) | We both use a similar Camelback backpack for day hiking – they’re comfortable, lightweight and just big enough to hold the essentials without weighing you down. Plus they both come with a 2L bladder.
- Hiking boots (Hers: Danner Mountain 600s, His: Salomon Ultra 4 Mid GTX) | A pair of quality hiking boots with good traction are helpful for walking in sand and climbing around the slot canyons!
- Hiking pants (Hers: Athleta Headlands pants, His: PrAna Stretch Zion Pants) | Even if it’s hot out, you may prefer to hike Big Horn Canyon in pants rather than shorts due to the possibility for heavy winds, making the sand absolutely brutal!
- Hiking socks (Darn Tough) | Darn Tough makes our favorite hiking socks – they’re thick, comfortable and durable. Everything you need in a good hiking sock.
- GPS Device (Garmin InReach Mini) | There is no cell service on Hole in the Rock Road. We always carry our Garmin In-reach Mini in case of emergency in areas without cell service and it gives us (and our parents) peace of mind.
- Map downloaded on AllTrails Pro | The trail to Big Horn Canyon can be difficult to follow, so you will want to have the trail downloaded in advance to make sure you are able to find your way.
- Sunscreen and chapstick | So important to keep your skin and lips protected during a long day in the desert sun!
- First Aid Kit | A key essential for day hike in case of an emergency.
- Plenty of water| There is no water or shade along the trail, and the desert sun is strong. Be sure to pack plenty of water – at least 2-3 liters per person.
- Sunglasses (Goodr) | At only $25, Goodr sunglasses are cheap, durable and non-slip (perfect if you’re the type of person that tends to loose sunglasses, like me!)
Tips for a great hike
- There is no service in Grand Staircase Escalante. Make sure to download trail maps in advance.
- The trailhead is located down Hole in the Rock road, a bumpy washboard dirt road that is typically passable without 4WD (but may not be if it has recently rained, so be sure to check current conditions).
- Dogs are permitted on the Big Horn Canyon trail (as well as other hikes in Grand Staircase Escalante).
- Most of the trail is through sand, so be prepared for the hike to take longer than a hike of similar distance and elevation normally would.
Details | Big Horn Canyon, Escalante
Now let’s get into the details about the Big Horn Canyon hike!
Getting to the Big Horn Canyon trailhead
The trailhead for Big Horn Canyon is located 4.5 miles down Hole-in-the-Rock Road, a roughly 20-30 minute drive from Escalante, Utah. Exact driving time depends on how fast you are willing to drive down Hole-in-the-Rock road, a bumpy washboard dirt road.
There is a small parking area on the right side of Hole in the Rock Road. Given that this hike is less popular, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting a spot. Note that the trailhead starts from the left side of the road.
Starting the hike
To start the hike, cross over to the lefthand side of Hole-in-the-Rock Road and head towards the wash to pick up the trail. When you first start the hike, you may be greeted by a herd of cattle, perhaps more living creatures than you’ll see for the duration of the hike!
The trail to Big Horn Canyon meanders through Harris Wash, crossing the water or dry creek bed a few times. The trail can be difficult to follow, so keep an eye out for cairns and check your downloaded trail map every now and then to make sure you are on track.
At 1.7 miles into the hike, you will come upon a wooden cattle guard. Walk through the cattle guard and turn left towards Big Horn Canyon, continuing about 0.3 miles until you reach a fork.
There are two sections of Big Horn Canyon to explore that branch off in different directions – the main section of Big Horn Canyon to your right and the West Fork to your left. Both canyons are worth exploring, and you can start with either!
Big Horn Canyon
The main section (or East Fork) of Big Horn Canyon branches off to the right from the trail. Inside Big Horn Canyon, you will find a few obstacles to climb over and uniquely striped and swirled orange rock walls.
Big Horn Canyon gets narrower in the middle section, but never quite as narrow as other slot canyons in Escalante, like Zebra, Peekaboo, and Spooky.
Continue for about half a mile through the slot canyon until the canyon walls start to level off. At this point, you can take a short spur trail to the right-hand side of the canyon up to a viewpoint looking down over Big Horn Canyon. Then retrace your steps back to the entrance of Big Horn Canyon.
West Fork Big Horn Canyon
Branching off to the west (lefthand side of the trail), is the West Fork of Big Horn Canyon, a much shorter and narrower slot canyon compared to the East Fork. The rippling orange walls of the West fork are reminiscent of a much smaller version of Antelope Canyon.
Once you’ve finished exploring both forks of Big Horn Canyon, return the way you came following the Harris Wash back to the trailhead.

As interesting and provocative as the cultural geography might be, the desert may serve as the backdrop for the problematic relationship between man and the environment. The human struggle, the successes and failures, the use and abuse, both noble and foolish, are readily apparent in the desert. Symbols and relationships seem to arise that stand for the human condition itself. It is a simple, if almost incomprehensible equation: the world is as terrible as it is beautiful, but when you look more closely, it is as beautiful as it is terrible. We must maintain constant vigilance, to protect the world from ourselves, and to embrace the world as it exists.

Minto urges Grant to leave out Drogba at Wembley
Last updated at 11:07 22 February 2008
As the west London club embark on the first leg of what could be an amazing quadruple, Minto says the only player guaranteed a place on Grant's teamsheet is goalkeeper Petr Cech and says the Israeli must be bold and drop Didier Drogba.
Stonewalled in Athens: Didier Drogba is thwarted by an Olympiacos defender
And the former full-back, who played in the Blues' 1997 FA Cup final victory over Middlesbrough, said: 'Jose Mourinho talked about his "untouchables" when he was in charge, but after looking at Tuesday's team sheet, I only see Cech as a certain starter.
'The rest of the team has so many different permutations Grant must be having nightmares about telling world-class internationals that they won't make the starting XI.'
And while believing John Terry should take his place in the heart of the Chelsea defence, Minto suggests striker Drogba should be left on the bench.
He added: 'Drogba looked lethargic on Tuesday and doesn't seem to have shaken off the niggle that kept him out of the Huddersfield FA Cup tie.
'Nicola Anelka has hit the ground running since his arrival and has not only scored goals but also set them up. So while I believe Drogba was the best striker in the world in 2007, I would go for Anelka.
'Terry has been out for some time yet his absence has not affected the team as it did last season when it cost Chelsea the title. Some fans are say his replacement Alex is a candidate for player of the season and should keep his place in the side.
'Grant also appears reluctant to risk Terry because he feels he is still not fit enough and JT has been rushed back too soon in the past. But I understand his desperation to play in what is a massive Wembley occasion.'

Show backing for woodland
By coincidence, a picture of an orange tip butterfly photographed in the Goody Patchy was recently published, (Berwick Advertiser, August 11).
This is just a small instance of the importance of this woodland, which already has historic significance and is part of the Lowry Trail.
The Goody Patchy may be under threat from development and the St Boisil’s Residents’ Association is hoping to get full tree protection for the Goody Patchy.
Local forestry expert Ross Weddle persuaded Northumberland County Council to do a Tree Preservation Order evaluation.
It achieved a score of 15, the highest score available in the second category.
The council is happy to progress protection if public support can be demonstrated.
We now need to gain local support for this valuable amenity asset – England’s most northerly public woodland.
Please can you write to the head of planning at Northumberland County Council, expressing your support for a Tree Preservation Order covering the Goody Patchy.

The transgender movement’s message for girls: Your privacy concerns are bigotry (Washington Examiner)
In the town I used to live in, Highland Park, New Jersey, the schools decided unilaterally, without consulting parents, to make all of the bathrooms “all gender” to appease students identifying as transgender. According to the local parents’ Facebook group, parents discovered this when their kids — mostly their daughters — came home from school, not having gone to the bathroom all day.
It’s a notoriously woke town, but nevertheless, enough parents complained that the bathrooms were switched back, and in a compromise, a few single-stall bathrooms were designated as all gender instead. It was an ideal solution: Young girls were comfortable, and transgender students still had access to gender-neutral bathrooms. [Read More]
While waiting for a car at Union Station last Thursday night, I was treated to a giant TV screen playing Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony from last year against then-nominee Brett Kavanaugh — now “Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.” The display had been arranged by feminists to protest the justice’s speech to a Federalist Society dinner inside the station.
Thanks for the memories! I’ve been meaning to mention that Kavanaugh’s opponents are inveterate liars, who cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything. This was just the nudge I needed!
Today, we’ll cover some of the left’s lies about “white privilege.” (More to come in a future column.) [Read More]
Fiona Hill, a Russia expert who served on President Trump’s National Security Council, told House lawmakers on Thursday that she obtained the controversial Steele dossier just a day before it surfaced in the media.
Despite Hill’s previous work with Steele, she said she had no knowledge of the dossier before Strobe Talbott, the former president of the Brookings Institution, provided it to her. Talbott, she said, had received a copy of the dossier. It’s unclear how he obtained the dossier, which sparked a media firestorm after BuzzFeed released it in 2017. [Read More]
Army First Lt. Clint Lorance served six years in Leavenworth prison before President Trump pardoned him last week, and the soldier had one request upon his release.
“Pizza… it was the best pizza ever,” Lawrence said when “Fox & Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt asked him how he celebrated his freedom. [Read More]
A highly anticipated report by the Justice Department’s inspector general is expected to sharply criticize lower-level F.B.I. officials as well as bureau leaders involved in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation, but to absolve the top ranks of abusing their powers out of bias against President Trump, according to people briefed on a draft.

Port of San Diego has purchased two all-electric Konecranes Gottwald Generation 6 Mobile Harbor Cranes to replace the diesel-powered crane currently in use at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (TAMT). The all-electric, battery-supported mobile harbor cranes will be the first in use in North America and will support the Port’s Maritime Clean Air Strategy (MCAS) and its “Health Equity for All” vision while also increasing productivity and cargo business opportunities at TAMT.
The Port anticipates receiving and putting the cranes into operation in mid-2023. In January, the Board of Port Commissioners authorized a purchase agreement with Germany-based Konecranes GmbH (Konecranes), which has an office in San Diego. The final cost for the cranes will be approximately $14 million, funds for which are budgeted in the Port’s Economic Recovery Program, which was established for the approximately $100 million in federal stimulus funds the Port anticipates receiving in total via the America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the State of California’s Coronavirus Fiscal Recovery Fund. The Port has already received $61.4 million.
“We have designated a significant portion of our federal stimulus funds to electrification – about $25 million dollars – for zero-emission equipment just like the all-electric cranes from Konecranes,” says Chairman Dan Malcolm, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners. “This is just the start of us delivering on our promise to do our part in improving air quality and public health. It’s also an excellent example of how we can meet our clean air and environmental goals while supporting business and job growth.”
In addition this purchase will enable the Port to attract additional business opportunities due to the increased maximum lift capacity – up to 400 metric tons (MT) versus the 100 MT lifting capacity of the Port’s diesel crane. Most of the heavy-lift cargoes destined for this region weigh more than 200 MT, including larger pieces of solar, wind, and industrial energy equipment as well as project cargoes. The new cranes will allow the Port to compete for more business, further capitalizing on the space unlocked by the TAMT Modernization project and the growth forecasted in the larger TAMT Redevelopment Plan.

The Truth About Beats by Dre(r/videos)
I have the same headphones mentioned in this video, the Audio Technica ATH M50’s, and I definitely think they were the right choice. I spent quite a while researching headphones to come to this decision too. The only problem I’ve had with them was about 6 months into owning them I noticed the stock pads were becoming a bit stiff. However, this was easily fixed by buying a $10 pair of Shure pads. If your budget is $200 I would get the M50X version because they have a removeable cable.
Edit: These are the headphone pads I go.


text: (AP) The Illinois Senate will consider a proposed property tax freeze when the chamber reconvenes for the first time since the regular legislative session ended May 31. Democratic Senate President John Cullerton announced Friday the entire Senate will hear testimony on the issue Tuesday. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner says he won’t approve a 2016 budget Democrats passed last month until legislators pass some of his pro-business agenda. That includes a property tax freeze. Senate Democrats already have rejected Rauner-backed legislation that would permanently freeze property taxes and require voter approval to increase them. Democrats say the plan would hurt schools that rely on property taxes.

LG has announced the availability of a trio of new featherweight LG gram laptops. Each size comes in two different variations, all of which promise much improved battery life despite their thin-and-light nature.
The most compact notebook is the refreshed LG gram 13Z970, a 13.3-inch laptop which weighs just 2.07 pounds (a smidge under 940g).
The hardware consists of an Intel Core i5 processor (Kaby Lake) backed with 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage, with two variants: one model has a non-touch IPS Full HD display, while the other has a touchscreen and fingerprint sensor.
(All of these machines have a Full HD resolution and Kaby Lake CPUs, by the way.)
Battery life is 17.5 hours on the former and 15 hours for the touchscreen version, with pricing set at $999 (around £800, AU$1,300) and $1,099 (around £880, AU$1,430) respectively.
Moving on up, the LG gram 14Z970 is a 14-inch machine which again has two different models. One sports an Intel Core i5 CPU and the other ups the ante to a Core i7, and that’s the only difference.
Both models have 8GB of system RAM and 256GB of storage along with a touchscreen. They offer 14.5 hours of juice and weigh in at 2.14 pounds (970g). The Core i5 machine retails at $1,199 (around £960, AU$1,560), with the beefier i7 version pitched at $1,499 (around £1,200, AU$1,950).
- Buy the LG gram 13Z970 Core i5 13-inch laptop from Amazon here (opens in new tab)
More memory, more storage, more screen
Finally, we have the 15.6-inch LG gram 15Z970, which has a weight of 2.4 pounds (1.09kg).
The base version of this laptop has an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage, with a non-touch display. Or you can opt for the Core i7 model, which doubles up the memory and storage (16GB/512GB) – plus it adds a touchscreen.
Battery life is 15.2 hours for the former and 12.5 hours for the beefier model, and pricing is $1,199 (around £960, AU$1,560) and $1,699 (around £1,360, AU$2,210) respectively.
Other noteworthy points across all models include the presence of a USB-C port, a backlit keyboard, and a "daylight mode" to make the screen brighter and more easily visible outside – though, the latter isn’t present on the largest model.
You can purchase these notebooks at retailers across the US right now, including the likes of Amazon, Fry’s, B&H, Microcenter and Costco. However, we're awaiting information on availability in the UK and Australia, and will update this story once we hear back.
- Will the new LG gram make it onto our 15 best laptops list?

A new video purportedly shows a small fleet of a dozen or more crafts flying in formation over the Pacific Ocean.
The video was reportedly filmed by the pilot of the plane, and the distant lights flicker, disappear, reappear and eventually fade above a cloud formation in the South China Sea.
A pilot claims he saw a fleet of #UFOs over the Pacific Ocean. The video was shot at around 39,000 feet. 🛸👽
The suspected #alien aircraft took the form of ‘weird’ rotating lights moving across the sky. 😳
What are your thoughts on the footage? 👀🤔 pic.twitter.com/N0I2WS2kYq
— Chillz TV (@ChillzTV) December 7, 2021
Filmed on Nov. 24, the video generated traction online. A brief discussion between the pilot and co-pilot can be heard, with both agreeing the formation is something physical and airborne.
“I don’t know what that is,” one man can be heard saying. “That is some weird shit,” the other said. (RELATED: Pentagon Confirms Authenticity Of UFO Footage That Shows Flying Object Defying The Laws Of Physics)
Speculation ran amok online as debunkers rushed to disprove the video clip and ufologists circulated it to their peers. (RELATED: Six Things To Take Away From The Pentagon’s UFO Report)

1/2 IR flares imo. Each light last for 6″ or 7″, the first ones being released are lower than the last ones as expected, smoke is not always visible as seen with other flare videos and the 3 fighter jets are too small and far away to be visible. https://t.co/EecnEA6ihJ

Been meaning to write about this one for a while, ever since the CEATEC show - which seems yonks ago now, but so much has happened...
HD-PLC was big news at the Japanese show, with a variety of companies showing hardware and components compatible with the system, and the HD-PLC Alliance having an impressive stand packed with everything from computer and AV devices to security equipment.
So what is HD-PLC? It may sound like a high definition limited company, but in fact it's s standard for HD Power Line Connection of devices, bit like the 'Ethernet over the mains' we have in the UK - but taken to the limit.
In Japan, with its high-speed internet coming into the home over fibre-optic cable, HD-PLC is catching on big time, with companies such as Buffalo, I/0 Data, NEC and Panasonic supporting it.
The HD-PLC Alliance, having just celebrated its first anniversary, is concerned with ensuring complete interoperability of equipment, which ranges from door and window controls to internet radios from the likes of Tangent to doorphone add-ons for plasma TVs, all of which can be connected using the very simple system.
Plug units into the mains, hook up an Ethernet cable, press one button and communication is established without the need for a computer to set it all up.
It can even control who plugs into your mains to charge up their electric car, should you have gone the whole eco route. If the car doesn't handshake with your home, it doesn't get the juice.
And HD-PLC could be coming to your home soon: the Alliance is keen to spread the standard to other markets. You see, while Japanese legislation limits its use to the home, research is going on into business and mobile add-ons for other countries.

USV should come to mind among the many venture firms familiar in media, Union Square had billion dollar exits every year from 2011 to 2017 including Zynga in 2011, Tumblr in 2013, Twitter in 2013, and Twilio in 2016, among many. Besides that, they’re in Behance, Boxee (acquired by Samsung), Clarifai, Del.icio.us, The Recount, Disqus, DuoLingo, Feedburner, Figure 1, Quizlet, Radionomy, and Yieldmo.
Wilson publishes a blog called AVC: musings of a VC in NYC where he publishes one post per day, a bit of a solid reminder of Gary Vaynerchuk’s recent encouragement that everyone is a media company. AVC usually covers a topic related to venture capital, entrepreneurship, or the Internet, every day. A favorite article is a very recent one, Grinding…
It is tempting to search for the one magic move that will make everything better. A new VP of Sales. A new database layer in your tech stack. A new brand for your company. Moving everything to the cloud. More capital in the business.
But it is rarely one thing that a business needs to succeed. It is often a little bit of everything.
“Eighteen months ago, I had breakfast with John Heilemann and he told me that his world, political media, was challenged in the shift from linear television (ie cable news) to real-time mobile (ie Twitter). He saw an opportunity to address that by filling the void in between them with news content that was made for real-time mobile consumption but had the journalistic integrity and production values of linear television.
I said to him “you should start a company to fill that void and you should get John Battelle to join you in starting that business.””Fred Wilson, AVC
It’s a good time to invest in media companies
Lots of media companies, meanwhile, are consolidating and downsizing. He thinks upstarts and digital companies will find success going back to more traditional models — Amazon launching physical stores, Netflix going into movie theaters, and digital media companies buying print arms. He doesn’t think WeWork and Uber’s highly-publicized problems will make investors any more likely to push startups in their portfolios toward profitability. There’s still plenty of cash to go around for people with big (profitless) visions. He’s a fan of direct listings — a newish alternative to a traditional IPO that other venture capitalists like Bill Gurley have been crowing about, too.Lucia Moses, Business Insider
Fred Wilson’s most notable advice from his chat with Moses? “I think it’s important to stay lean. Keep costs low. Create lots of content without creating a huge infrastructure. “
“Venture has had a love-hate relationship with media”
The interview is a must read as the two quickly weave through streaming media, audio and mobile, print, and more, noting that venture capital comes and goes, being enthusiastic and exuberant about the space before turning and being conservative about innovation in media. Must read, ultimately, because Wilson teases out the convergences and unexpected directions many companies are taking, leading investor interest.
Unexpected directions such as digital media companies buying print, Netflix getting into the theater business, or the many traditional news publishers looking to audio and mobile.
What left me most excited, is an affirmation of a point we constantly make in startup communities beyond the coasts of the United States, where investors seem to be pressuring early monitization and profitability, “I don’t think there’s going to be a material change in incentives to get to profitability quicker. There’s still a tremendous amount of capital to fund losses. And entrepreneurs with big visions who need investment to fund them are still going to find it.”
Where they find it, regardless of what they’re doing, seems to be through an embrace of the impact of media.

Those active and engaged in progressive, leftist, politics seek a world free from prejudice and bigotry, a world free from prejudice and bigotry, a society fully open and inclusive, and a society with the liberation caucuses placed firmly at the heart of the work we do. Despite being active in the Labour Party for a number of years now, the only place I have witnessed this ethos and philosophy be practice rather than just theory, is at Queer Easter, a week-long LGBTQ seminar that takes place on the outskirts of Berlin, an appropriate setting bearing in mind Berlin’s own proud history of freedom and openness in the Weimar era.
Queer Easter is an event like no other; LGBTQ Socialist activists from across Europe, as well as from Palestine and Israel, are united; united by our shared identity, but also by our common goals, reshaping society and freeing it from patriarchy and capitalist oppression.
On the first day of QE comes the necessary housekeeping rules; a workshop on safer sex and ‘No Means No’, but also a refreshing introduction into the concept of a Socialist Safe Space, whereby those who defend capitalist principle are in turn defending society’s ingrained injustices, and so are part of the stumbling block in the way of creating an equal and open society, with a benevolent and thriving Welfare State.
The theme of this year’s QE was ‘Beyond Gender Binaries and Trans*’, and I was in a group discussing the role of drag and Drag/Camp Culture in subverting oppressive concepts of gender normality. This is what QE excels at; pioneering new left-wing consensus, empowering and liberating, even if temporarily, a group who experience so much conscious and subconscious homophobia and transphobia within society, or even heterosexual and cisgender Queers, who reject and feel isolated by the ‘Lad Culture’ so prevalent in our education system, our employment opportunities, our media, and even our own political parties and movements.
QE is the perfect environment for delegates and participants to explore and discover ourselves, explore and discover others, and explore and discover social and cultural values and structures. Ignorance and prejudice previously hidden within society becomes clear and striking, I, for instance, learnt much about Trans* issues. QE is the antithesis of The Daily Mail, and this is the way it should be. Bearing in mind QE coincided this year with Richard Littlejohn’s hateful and vile transphobic piece in the Mail, the values of QE suddenly become more relevant and important.
Labour’s delegation amounted to a paltry three members (although admittedly another delegate has lost her passport the day before flying). The reason for this is quite simple; a lack of publicity and a lack of understanding on what international opportunities arise by being a member of the Labour Party. I am very grateful that Labour is a member of YES (Young European Socialists – formerly ECOSY: European Community Organisation of Socialist Youth) and believe that Young Labour should shout more loudly and more often about its partnership with YES. Young Labour’s democratically elected International Officer is a start, and I hope that this position proves effective, standing up for our young members with international concerns or interests.
The next YES event is Summer Camp in Turkey in July. Unfortunately, Labour have taken the bizarre and unwarranted decision to limit participation to just 5 from Young Labour and 5 from Labour Students. Legitimate concerns regarding welfare of participants abroad is the apparent reasoning, yet the ‘safety in numbers’ rationale appears to have been ignored, as had the fact that no other sister parties have taken this disproportionate decision. At a time when Young Labour can boast an active and engaged membership, and with European elections looming, this decision appears to deny members a chance to play a role on the European stage, as well as sending a dangerous message to our sister parties that Labour is a closed shop.
I hope that Labour sees sense and reverses this ruling. I, meanwhile, will maintain the Queer identity that I have been empowered with through my opportunities to engage with YES. I am one of the lucky ones who got in just in time it seems.

Ambi is a meek lawyer, who wishes to change the society. But, because of his oft-repeated concern, people don't take him seriously. Besides, Nandini, the girl whom he loves, also rejects her because of this. This makes Ambi shattered, not before he encounters a website Aparichit.com, visiting which creates an alter ego inside Ambi's mind. For the girl he loves, he becomes a supermodel named Remo, and for the entire nation, to reform it, he becomes a vigilante named Aparichit, who not only teaches people the importance of following the rules, but also punishes them if they don't follow.Written by
This is a film that should, sorry will, change the face of Tamil cinema forever. It is amazing, amusing and astounding to watch and her and anyone who says different may need to watch the film again properly and look at the hard work, groundbreaking(for Tamil cinema)visuals, and fantastic songs that is in this film. It is watchable enough for VIKRAM'S performance alone, but Vivek's hilarious comedy and one-liners, Harris Jeyraj's great songs and amazing sets and location make this film a must-see for all Tamil cinema lovers. The highlight of the film is the last 23 minutes, these minutes alone should entice even a cinema goer not a fan of VIKRAM or Shankar to go and see the film at least once more. On the whole ANNIYAN is three words Amazing, Breathtaking and VIKRAM.

An Australian exchange program is helping to change the lives of orphans in Cambodia.
Seventeen-year-old Phannat Phy only begun playing piano five years ago, learning entirely by ear.
He's already receiving standing ovations.
His performance at Central Coast Grammar's school assembly blew the audience away.
The school hall roared with appplause as the entire crowd rose to their feet in awe of Phannat's talent.
He is one of a generation of children in Cambodia living below the poverty line, many of whom are neglected and forced to the streets.
Since he was three, Phannat has been living under the care of Sunrise Cambodia, a charity that supports and educates at-risk children.
It was set up in the early 90's by Geraldine Cox.
"All of the children that have come have been affected in some way by feelings of abandonment, low self-worth, lack of confidence because there is a stigma attached to being an orphan in Cambodia," says Ms Cox.
Phannat is one of four teenagers from Sunrise Cambodia taking part in an Australian exchange program.
For a month, they attend school at New South Wales' Central Coast Grammar and stay with a local host family.
It's often the first time they've lived in a family setting.
"I feel like this is my own house and she is my mother. They are very kind, it's like my mother and father," says Phannat.
He and the others are giving just as much back to the community.
Memories last forever
Peter Davies is the founder of the exchange program, which also see's Central Coast Grammar students travel to Cambodia.
Mr Davies, who in the past, has hosted some of the Cambodian students in his home, says the memories they leave behind last forever.
"Some of the funny things that happen, you'll never forget. For example, we told two of our boys that we had a machine for clothes, I wound up pulling clothes out of our dishwasher," he said.
Bec Hockey, a year 12 student at Central Coast Grammar, first met Phannat when she went on exchange to Cambodia last year.
She says it was an honour to see Phannat perform at the assembly.
"[I was] really proud, I knew how nervous he was and he was just amazing and to see his talent be showcased at our school was really amazing," she says.
For the Cambodia students who come to Australia, the trip is full of new experiences.
In their country, school runs for just three hours a day and there are no extra-curricular activities.
"[We] don't have sport or art or music, that's why it makes us like, feel stressed and this place is very nice," says Phannat.
Chieb Khtik, also on exchange from Cambodia, say it's her first time using a computer at school.
"It's very fun, she says.
"The school standard, in here, it's very modern. In Cambodia, when we study, we use the notebook but here, we use the computer."
The classes are igniting new aspirations for the students.
Vichhay Khorn has been taking part in an IT elective and now hopes to forge a career in that area.
He says he wants to share the skills he's learning here in Australia with his peers back home.
"I want to work in IT. The knowledge about technology are so low so that's why I want to get more from Australia and share with the other children at the centre and in the community," he says.
That, a real possibility, says Geraldine Cox, if the program's past participants are anything to go by.
"We've got one doing a scholarship in China in IT, another doing agriculture in Israel, we've got to girls doing international relations studies in Phnom Penh universities, she says.
"We've got another boy doing civil engineering, we've got kids in hospitality, social welfare, the whole lot."
And with Phannat on a path to study at the Royal Fine Arts School in Phnom Penh, the list of success stories looks likely to grow.

WASHINGTON – 16 September 2018: U.S. President Donald Trump plans to announce new tariffs of about $200 billion on Chinese imports as early as Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
The tariff level will likely be about 10 percent, below the 25 percent announced when the administration first said it was considering this round of tariffs, the newspaper said, quoting people familiar with the matter.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A gain of 4,600 jobs in November wasn’t enough to stop Connecticut’s unemployment rate from ticking upward slightly in the state’s last report before the New Year.
The jobless rate rose from 6.4 to 6.5 percent, the Department of Labor reported Thursday, adding that the state has gained 25,700 jobs over the last 12 months — its best annual growth in 17 years.
“Connecticut’s recent string of healthier employment gains looks to be attracting more jobseekers into the state’s labor market in the lead-up to the holiday season, and holiday hiring appears to be above average,” Andy Condon, director of the department’s Office of Research, said.
The unemployment rate reflects the portion of people employed within the labor force. And since the latter group is comprised both of those working and those seeking work, the jobless rate can worsen even as the state adds jobs – provided the number of unemployed seeking work grows by an even larger amount.
Besides the 4,600 jobs gained, November also showed some positive signs in terms of private-sector wage growth. Average hourly earnings stood at $28.81 in the private sector in November, up $1.21 per hour from November 2013.
“This report is another positive sign that we are making progress in our effort to create good-paying jobs with good benefits for residents,” said Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. “Labor force participation is up. We are seeing growth in nearly every sector of the economy.”
Five of Connecticut’s 10 major industry super-sectors gained jobs last month, led by professional, scientific and technical services, which added 2,800 posts. Other super-sectors experiencing gains included: trade, transportation and utilities; financial activities; leisure and hospitality; and other services.
Five other super-sectors lost jobs in November, though the losses were relatively small.
The information super-sector posted the largest decline, down 400 jobs. Declines also were recorded in construction and mining; manufacturing; education and health services; and government.
Five of the state’s six labor markets reported job gains, led by Hartford, which added 2,600 positions. The only decline was posted in New Haven, which lost 100 jobs.
Connecticut’s overall economic recovery since The Great Recession ended five years ago continues to lag the nation’s, though growth in recent years has matched or surpassed the national average.
Connecticut has regained 93,200 of the 119,100 jobs – or 78 percent of the jobs— lost in the last recession.
Compared to what’s happening in some other states and across the U.S., Connecticut still has a way to go,” said Peter Gioia, vice president and economist for the Connecticut Business & Industry Association. “But now we are within striking distance of exceeding 100 percent recovery if we continue this pace over the next 12 months.”
“We have not been able to keep up with national improvements because Connecticut’s tax policies are wrong, the business policies are wrong and the attitude to the free market is wrong,” North Haven Republican Len Fasano, the new Senate minority leader, said. “We cannot over-celebrate today’s numbers because we still need to bring change to Connecticut policies. We owe that to the thousands of people struggling to find work every day.”

It’s anyone’s guess what tricks Jeff Blashill has up his sleeves these days. But, I can say one thing, I’m not sure he’s got the full grasp on the defensive pairings.
Jeff Blashill wouldn’t reveal lineup changes, but based on today’s practice it looks like Filip Hronek is in tomorrow, Dennis Cholowski out, for Red Wings at Vancouver game.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) January 19, 2019
Okay? Let’s sit Dennis Cholowski! Sure, seems logical, right? At this point, I have to think Blashill simply throws darts at a random board while blindfolded to make these decisions.
On another note, Michael Rasmussen participated in his first full practice on Saturday since injuring his hamstring, but he will not play against the Canucks today.

Keys to the Game
Protect the Lead
Friday night’s third period was an absolute disaster for the Wings after playing 50 minutes of sound hockey. They blew the lead twice in the final period and allowed three goals — including an empty net tally — to the Calgary Flames in the final six minutes. Quite the blemish for a team that’s been in a lot of tight games this year. The Canucks will prove to be a tough matchup too as they’re a resilient bunch that currently sit just one point out of a wild card spot in the Western Conference. If the Wings get the lead, don’t sit back and continue to be the aggressor. If they play passive and try to tighten up, then the Canucks will use their speed and exploit the Wings’ defensive flaws.
Capitalize on Special Teams
The Wings finished 1/5 on the powerplay Friday night, while they surrendered three goals on the man advantage to the Flames along with another shorthanded tally. Obviously the Flames outdid themselves the other night, but killing penalties has been a problem for the Wings all year at just 76.9% (26th). Plus, capitalizing on the powerplay has been a problem at a 16.9% conversion rate (23rd) and much of this can be attributed to Blashill’s lack of creativity, but whatever the case it’s an area that needs improvement.

In previous posts, I mentioned wind power, wave power, and the balance between the needs of the environment and civilization’s demand for energy. While researching my wind and wave pieces, I noticed a substantial overlap in Earth’s wind resources and wave resources. This confluence is not surprising: high-velocity wind shears the ocean surface kicking up larger, more powerful waves.
If waves and wind come pairs, why is there no ongoing effort to develop hybrid wind/wave generation plants? This concept has already been suggested elsewhere, but I cannot find any evidence of action taken to implement it.
Once the commitment is made to drive a wind turbine boom into the ocean floor, the tower should be exploited to the maximum economically-feasible extent. Augmenting ocean wind power structures to extract wave energy would maximize both environmental and monetary returns. At the very least, wind towers could be used to moor Pelamis-style wave farms, sharing lines to deliver electrons to shore. Better design could identify techniques to integrate wave energy generators directly into wind towers.
By piggybacking on mature wind technology, there is an opportunity here for the US to climb back on top of the wave-power market. Hybrid wind/wave farms could leapfrog the wave-only installations being pioneered in Europe and Australia, speeding commercialization and maturity of promising wave energy technologies.

The New York Times has been widely criticized as a "master troll" on Monday for its recent attacks on Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and President Trump.
In an analysis by Times reporter Lisa Lerer, she asked if Clinton "harassed us" and listed her "corrupt human tornadoes" against Trump. Their unfounded conjecture that the Russians would "cherish" Gabbard, D-Hawaii, as a Russian asset in 2020 and in a fake letter about Trump's recent casually written letter to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which neither she nor Lerer used to draft "Jimmy Kimmel Live".
"Welcome to Hillary Unplugged," wrote Lerer. "Throughout most of her public career, Ms. Clinton has been constrained by expectations of her position, be it First Lady, Senator, or Secretary of State, and now, after her breathtaking loss in 201
It went on to say, "And she certainly does cause a lot of drama while she does it." The two-fold Democratic presidential candidate continues to play a major role in her party's psyche – both as a heroine and as a villain. "[19459017MuchoftheplaywasdedicatedtoDemocratswhoweresupposedtoputClintonbackinthelimelightandspeculatethatshewouldstartathirdrunforthepresidency
QUICKLY BECOMING DECAYS
The Times piece, however, was ridiculed in social media.
"NYT: Hillary lives her best by smearing Gabbard and tweeting Boomer memes at Drumpf." Hill Chief Wa Shington correspondent Saagar Enjeti tweeted.
"She is not filing for treason charges against Tulsi Gabbard and is receiving a puff from The New York Times." reacted .
Clinton made headlines in recent weeks when she applied for her new book, which she wrote with her daughter Chelsea. However, she was beaten by both the right and left because she claimed that Gabbard had been influenced by the Russians without any evidence.

"I do not make predictions, but I think they keep an eye on someone who is in Democratic primary school right now and is hosting them as a candidate for third parties "Clinton said in an obvious reference to Gabbard. "She's the favorite of the Russians, so far there are a number of sites and bots and other ways to support them."
She blamed former Greens presidential candidate Jill Stein, who voiced against Trump in 2016, as well as being an asset to Russia: "This implies that Jill Stein will give up what she may not, because she is also an asset Russia is, I mean – totally. " Stein also denied Clinton's claims.
