Father 'buried baby girl alive'
Pakistani police have arrested a man accused of burying his newborn daughter alive because she was physically deformed.
Mohammed Anwar, a police officer in the city of Khanewal in the eastern Punjab province, said the child was born on Thursday at a hospital in the nearby town of Kacha Khoh.
After seeing his newborn daughter, the father told relatives that the baby was born dead and organised a funeral service, said Shamshad Khalid, the town's police chief.
The child started crying during the service and the presiding cleric told the father to take the girl to the hospital, Mr Khalid said. Instead, the man, identified by police as Chand Khan, buried her.
Residents alerted the authorities after seeing the father taking the baby to the graveyard, after which police raided the man's house and arrested him on a murder charge.
Khan, who has four other children, did not tell his wife about his plans to get rid of the child, the police chief said, adding that the wife was still at the hospital when the baby was buried.
Mohammed Farooq, a doctor at al-Shifa hospital in Kacha Khoh, said he had seen the child after her birth. He said she was healthy and alive but had a fairly large head and "abnormal" features.
"I am a doctor at the same hospital where this child was born. This man came to me yesterday with a request that I should do something to dispose of his child, but I snubbed him and said get out," Mr Farooq said. "No one has the right to kill anyone because of his or her physical deformity."
Pakistani human rights activist Farzana Bari also condemned the incident. Raghab Naeemi, a prominent Pakistan religious scholar, demanded a stern punishment for the man.
Police say they will exhume the child's body and perform a post mortem. The father could be sentenced to death if he is found guilty of killing his daughter.

The year is 1788 as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began to work on his last three symphonies during a time of strife for musicians as the Austro-Turkish War continues to war on in Austria. Tired from moving his family from central Vienna to the suburbs of Alsergrund all while in debt to his ears as he continued to borrow money from friends including a fellow mason, Michael Puchberg, Mozart finished his final symphony on August 10, 1788. This piece, nicknamed the “Jupiter Symphony,” coined by impresario Johann Peter Saloman, was Mozart’s longest symphony with a total of four movements, a typical symphonic form during the Classical era. The Jupiter Symphony totals to about forty five minutes of music ending with a quintuple fugato that brings back the five melodies introduced in the final movement making the closer one of the most complex examples of counterpoint that has ever been created. My goal shall be to give the reader a sense of Mozarts life at the time of this composition, a detailed analysis of all four of these movements, as well as a look at why this piece was seen as a work of innovation.
On January 27th, 1756, at 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg, Austria, a Jupiter among mere men and composers was born. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born the son of Anna Maria (1720-1778) and Leopold Mozart (1719-1787), a composer, teacher, and the fourth violinist for Count Leopold Anton von Firmian. Already learning to play the keyboard at a mere age of three years old, Mozart would learn by sight as he watched his seven year old sister took lessons from her music teacher. As Mozart got older and started to develop as a player and composer, his traveled with his father around Europe performing as a child ...

Adrian Buckmaster is a British-born photographer, residing in New York since 1981. His first camera was a 620 Kodak Bakelite Box Brownie, given to him by his mother when he was nine years old. He built his first darkroom when he was thirteen, it being wedged into a three-foot-square closet, developer and fix trays dripping onto ancient family correspondence, much to the irritation of his father.
His original desire was to be a news photographer, but that was scotched, when, at seventeen, after managing to sneak into the scene of an IRA bomb, he was pushed out of the way and blocked by more seasoned old timers. The unpleasant experience of fighting amongst other photographers to take a picture has forever stayed with him, even more so in this day of cell phone cameras.
After a brief detour into three dimensional design, he dropped out of college to pursue his early ambition and was hired by a venerable company of architectural model-makers, Thorp Model Makers, where he aided in the development and adaptation of endoscopes that allowed the viewer a human perspective of tiny scale models and eventually led to his love of architecture. As a result, he was the first photographer to be inducted into the Art Workers Guild, founded in 1882 by William Morris to promote the highest standard of excellence in all the applied arts.
Once in America he decided to begin photographing “beauty,” for clients like Revlon, L’Oreal, Kodak, and Colgate-Palmolive, and was the creative photo editor and photographer for Next Fashion magazine. His covers and editorial work ranges from Essence magazine to portraiture of musicians such as Anita Baker, Sade, and others, along with album covers for Elektra Atlantic. His work is regularly included in Huffington Post and Time Out, where he has been documenting the alternative scene since 2000. For his personal projects, he found a way to connect and share a deep love of misfits, who, like himself, are struggling to see themselves in a world that likes labels and promotes conformity.
He lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he shares a studio with life-partner, fellow traveler, and renowned performer of Burlesque, Deity Delgado, and two cats. When not taking pictures, they transform their studio into Casa Delgado, an intimate theater that showcases the work of their extremely talented and gifted friends.

Synthetic lubricants offer long-term cost benefits and better performance in extreme temperatures.
Synthetic oils cost more than mineral oils but save money over the long run. Beyond the cost benefits, synthetics deliver superior performance under most temperatures and operating conditions, say their makers.
While synthetics are more than twice as expensive as mineral lubes, that’s only part of the story. The recommended change interval for a mineral lube in a drivetrain component may be 125,000 miles or less, while the synthetic lube interval is 500,000 miles. To hit a million miles, you’ll replace a synthetic lube only once, while you’d replace a mineral lube seven times. You’ll also spend more on downtime and disposal.
Synthetic oil base stocks enable refiners to create engine oils with “better thermal stability,” says Maria Burcham, a technical advisor with ExxonMobil. This means oil changes are extended because heat won’t break down synthetics as fast as mineral lubes.
Thermal stability is critical in keeping oil viscosity high enough for proper component protection, especially when running under heavy loads at high temperatures. This gets complex in engines, where extending changes presents more problems because of all the by-products of combustion that inevitably end up in the oil. Sometimes the accumulation of acids and soot means the quality of the base oil will have little effect on when a change will be required.
Still, it’s clear that synthetics are ideally suited for use in the transmission and axles, where combustion by-products are not part of the equation.
Another advantage of synthetics is cold performance. Though they’re every bit as thick or “viscous” at normal operating temperatures as mineral lube, when starting out on a cold morning, synthetics will make shifting much easier because they start out thinner.
“Synthetics offer both superior low temperature performance and a high level of film strength at high temperatures to better protect all moving parts,” says Dan Arcy, a technical manager at Shell Lubricants. The fluid will be thin enough to flow easily and quickly reach all parts when you start up on a cold morning, yet it will remain more than thick enough when running at high speeds on a hot day.
Component makers stand behind their belief in synthetics’ extra protection by offering extended warranties – typically up to 750,000 miles on drivetrain components. The extra protection helps guard against component problems, protecting companies from having to pay warranty claims. You can typically keep the warranty in effect if you change the fluid, using an approved lube as the replacement, at 500,000 miles. In addition, gearboxes end up looking a lot cleaner inside at overhaul when synthetic lube has been used.
Arcy says one circumstance where the use of mineral lubes in drivetrain components might be preferred is when contamination is high, as when working in extreme dust. In such cases, inspect the lube daily and replace it as frequently as it gets dirty or diluted with a less expensive mineral lube.
Arcy also notes the critical difference between transmission and axle lubes and the importance of using the right one. Transmission gear teeth are generally flat and the gears sit directly across from one another. In a drive axle, the large ring gear sits at the level of the wheel bearings, but the pinion gear that drives it is off-center and is at 90 degrees. The gear teeth in the drive axle rub together much more, requiring special extreme pressure additives.
EP additives work fine with parts in a differential, but transmissions have synchronizer clutches made of yellow metals like brass and bronze. The EP additives can corrode those parts and cause serious damage, and the higher operating temperature of the transmission can accelerate the effect. Additives in transmission lubes, unlike those for drive axles, are adapted to the heat.
Fortunately, the viscosity scales differ to help set the two lubes apart. Drive axles might use a 75W-90 lube, while a transmission typically uses a 50-weight lubricant.
Synthetic in the engine
The most basic reason for using a synthetic in the engine is its superior performance in extreme cold.
Major refiners offer not only 15W-40 mineral oil, but also 5W-40 synthetic diesel engine oil. “Chevron’s Delo 400 LE Synthetic 5W-40 is a full synthetic product blended with synthetic base oils, and it’s targeted for those customers that want full synthetic protection in extreme climate conditions, specifically cold weather environments,” says Len Badal of Chevron Global Lubricants.
Dan Arcy of Shell Lubricants says a 15W oil flows well down to 5 degrees while a 10W is good down to minus 5 degrees, a 5W down to minus 25 degrees.
In extreme cold, ExxonMobil’s Maria Burcham says synthetics and synthetic blends produce faster starts, saving the batteries and starter, while also providing better protection against engine wear during the first few minutes of operation. Lower viscosity oils result in faster cranking speeds, which not only reduce the amps the starter draws but increase the temperature compression produces in the cylinders, giving quicker firing of the fuel.
After a cold start, almost all the oil ends up in the crankcase when the engine sits overnight. If, under these conditions, the oil pumps more quickly and circulates more freely, the wear surfaces will be lubricated more quickly with a lower viscosity oil, and wear will be reduced. The other justification for using synthetic engine oil is the possibility that it may allow extended changes.
Extending oil changes
Approaches differ among refiners when it comes to adopting synthetics for extending engine oil changes.
Chevron’s Len Badal, when comparing performance of the company’s Delo 400 LE 15W-40 and 10W-30 mineral oils with its synthetic 5W-40, sees a battle of equals. “Both products will provide extended service protection,” he notes, because mineral oils keep getting closer and closer to synthetics in performance due to improving refining. Still, the best synthetics, when specifically designed to provide extended life, are generally considered to have a clear edge.
ExxonMobil’s Maria Burcham says less maintenance and better longevity come with synthetic use. “Better semi-synthetic and full synthetic base oils in conjunction with better additives provide superior protection against corrosive and abrasive wear,” she says.
Shell’s Arcy agrees on the oil durability issue, saying full synthetics “have better oxidation stability.” This means they will survive longer without losing their viscosity or becoming acidic.
Even with super oils, Arcy says “optimizing” drains should be the focus more than extending drains because it is impossible to accurately predict well in advance the correct times to change. One thing that affects the drain time is maintenance of the cooling system, air induction system and other basic systems that can impact the rate at which oil deteriorates.
Finally, since oil gets contaminated even in properly maintained engines, a careful program of oil analysis is essential to help determine what factor is limiting the life of the oil, and whether or not the lubricant choice will help the problem. Arcy says, “If the condemning factor is fuel dilution, a synthetic might help, but if it’s high soot, it won’t change the interval much.” n
The synthetic oil payback
Even though it often costs twice as much as standard mineral oil, synthetic oil can be a more effective engine oil choice when other factors are considered.
This example is based on a truck traveling 120,000 miles/year moving from 15,000-mile changes to 40,000 miles, and moving from a $17 per gallon mineral oil to a $34 per gallon synthetic. Filters are changed once per change with mineral oil, and twice per change (once midway in the change cycle) with synthetic.
Using synthetics are even more cost-effective if reduced disposal costs and downtime apply to your operation.
Standard Mineral Oil
$17/gallon x 11 gallons
x 8 changes = $1,496
x 8 changes = $192
Labor per change
$44 x 8 = $352
ANNUAL COST $2,040
Premium Synthetic Oil
$34/gallon x 11 gallons
x 3 changes = $1,122
x 6 changes = $144
Labor per oil and
filter change $44 x 3 = $132
Labor per filter
change $20 x 3 = $60
ANNUAL COST $1,458

The Iowa Senate is considering a bill that would allow the Iowa Department of Transportation to allow through the issuing of permits, forest industry trucks to travel non-primary highways with weights of up to 130,000 lbs.. Almost all area non-primary roads can handle up to 100,000 lbs. and most bridges can handle up to 80,000 lbs.
The Wright County Supervisors are concerned how this will effect these highways which are already in need of repair or resurfacing in some cases. The supervisors passed a resolution that opposes Study Bill 1045 which allows for the haulers on the roads. Senate File 184 is another measure in the Iowa Senate which mandates the same laxed rules and permits.
The resolution will be passed on to the Iowa Legislature to inform it’s members of the county’s concerns.


Halloween makes for good TV. But here's something we noticed: Many of our favorite Halloween-obsessed shows have a common address — ABC.
The powers-that-be at the Alphabet Network seem a bit consumed with things that go bump in the night, so we did a little digging to confirm that this is not a new thing. In fact, ABC has been treating us with trick-or-treat themed episodes for more than 60 years, starting with the Ozzie and Harriet episode "The Halloween Party" way back in 1952.
ABC is so into Halloween that in 1976 the network hosted The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, which featured Wizard of Oz legend Margaret Hamilton in her first reprisal as the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 classic movie. And over the past six decades, every ABC show from According to Jim to Zorro has featured a Halloween episode — with no end in sight, as can be seen by this season's fall-friendly lineup and sister network, Freeform's, annual 13 Days of Halloween.

Rangers face a potential departure in John Lundstram after the on-form midfielder, who’s currently loving life again at Rangers, evaded discussion on his contract completely by saying it’s private between him and the club.
It was an interesting response, especially given the last time he was asked about a contract extension he was clear in stating he wanted to stay.
Indeed, he said in April:
“I’d love to stay here for as long as the club wants me but there’s nothing at the minute. I love the club and have never shied away from that. I’d love to stay but there’s nothing.”
But now has changed that to:
“That’s just between me and the club, it’s personal between me and the club, yeah?”
Curiously enough it was the only time in the presser that he looked genuinely uncomfortable and gestured a lot more animatedly than he did with any other question.
So what did this mean?
We know he’s loved his time in Scotland, and we know what he’s said in the past – it’s there in black and white.
But we think this indicates things have either changed, or that the discussions aren’t going as well as he’d want, or that there STILL haven’t been any discussions and he’s feeling a little put out by that.
It’s a guessing game at this point.
But we will emphasise the change in his tone – only 6 months ago Lunny was exalting his desire to stay, and that there had been no discussions with the board, now he’s evading the topic and doesn’t want to talk about it at all.
Very uncharacteristic from him in truth, amid whispers he’s weighing up his options and is considering a move back south.
He’s 29 now and would consider the next four years critical – he’s of an age where the Premier League in England isn’t beyond his grasp, and perhaps he wants to go back to it.

We took a day tour from London to the charming Cotswold, Downton Abbey Village, and Blenheim Palace with Evan Evans Tour.
Bourton on the Water
A popular British village and tourist spot in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. It was also known as "Little Venice" of the Cotswolds.
It situated in the south of Central England and was said to be the most beautiful British Village. Sadly, this is the only picture of Cotswolds that I have in my iphone. The rest pictures I took with my Lumix camera have gone missing. Still, I have to say Cotswolds is super lovely. It looks like an old village from the fairy tale.

While another penned: "Sorry but I have to agree with you! I genuinely hardly recognised him!"
Anton then took to his social media page to shut down the rumours while calling out people who commented on his looks.
He said: "I genuinely haven't had work done to my face. I'm honest, I will say if I have, I don't care. If I want to have work done to my face, it's my face, it's my body…

Emerging Gardening Trends: From Vegetable Container Gardening to Maximalism
Vegetable Container Gardening
Have you ever dreamt of picking fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and vibrant peppers right from your own backyard? Well, vegetable container gardening might just be the answer to your green dreams. As an experienced gardener, I can tell you that this trend is taking the gardening world by storm, and for good reason. Not only does it allow you to grow your own food, but it also brings a touch of nature to small urban spaces and balconies.
With vegetable container gardening, you can create a lush oasis even if you have limited space. I've personally transformed my balcony into a vibrant mini-garden by utilizing decorative pots, hanging baskets, and vertical planters. The best part? You don't need acres of land or a green thumb to get started. All it takes is a few pots, quality soil, and a dash of love and care.
Did you know that vegetable container gardening can yield up to 40% more produce compared to traditional gardening methods?
If you're like me, you probably yearn for greenery all year round, even during those cold winter months. That's where indoor gardening comes to the rescue! This particular trend has skyrocketed in popularity, and it's not hard to see why. Whether you have a sunny windowsill or a dedicated corner in your home, indoor gardening allows you to cultivate beautiful plants no matter the season.
From lush leafy plants to delicate succulents, the choices for indoor gardening are endless. I've personally used hanging planters and stylish terrariums to create an indoor jungle that brings life and tranquility into my living space. Not to mention, caring for indoor plants has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and improve air quality. Who wouldn't want that in their home?
Research suggests that indoor gardening can increase productivity and improve focus by up to 15%!
Maximalism: More is More
If you're tired of the minimalist approach to gardening and want to embrace a more abundant and vibrant style, then maximalism is the trend for you. Gone are the days of sticking to a color scheme and carefully curated plant choices. Maximalism encourages gardeners to mix and match a wide variety of colors, textures, and shapes to create a whimsical and visually stunning outdoor space.
Personally, I've fallen head over heels for this trend. My garden is now a kaleidoscope of vibrant flowers, towering sunflowers, and fluttering butterflies. I've discovered that by combining different plant heights and bloom times, I can create a constantly changing and visually captivating landscape. Plus, this trend allows me to experiment with unique plant combinations and showcase my creativity.
Maximalism is all about embracing the beauty in chaos and celebrating the individuality of each plant.
Gardening trends are ever-evolving, and it's exciting to see how they shape and transform our outdoor spaces. Whether you choose to embark on a vegetable container gardening adventure, bring the beauty of nature indoors, or dive into the world of maximalism, remember to have fun and let your gardening journey reflect your personality and creativity.
What are you waiting for? Grab those gardening gloves and get ready to explore these emerging trends. Your garden will thank you, and so will your senses.

By Vanita Gupta and Paul J. Fishman
Unspeakable acts of terror in recent months have stirred divisive rhetoric around religious intolerance. And similar to what happened after 9/11, we continue to see a backlash of hate-related incidents, including criminal threats against mosques, harassment in schools and other events targeting Muslim Americans, and groups perceived as Muslim.
As America fights terrorism, many people here in New Jersey -- and in the country -- understandably fear for the safety of their families.
And make no mistake: the Justice Department's top priority is, and always will be, protecting the security of the American people. Yet protecting our security also requires defending, not betraying, the principles that define a free and tolerant society.
That's why the Justice Department is partnering with other federal agencies to launch a community engagement initiative centered around addressing religious discrimination.
Together, we'll enhance our efforts to protect people and places of worship from religion-based hate crimes, to combat religious discrimination in education and employment and to address unlawful barriers that interfere with building places of worship.
We'll host our first community roundtable here in Newark (at the Rodino Federal Building, 970 Broad St.), focusing on bullying and religious discrimination in schools.
It is our hope to further instill how hate-motivated violence, harassment and discrimination have no place in our society.
Our Constitution and laws guarantee all people equal justice and equal protection. But regrettably, our nation has not always lived up to the promise of its founding ideals.
Even today, too many people in this country continue to suffer discrimination and violence because of their religious beliefs. Following heinous acts of terrorism in particular, too many Muslim Americans -- and those communities perceived as Muslim -- suffer a backlash of violence and discrimination.
This discriminatory backlash not only threatens the millions of Muslims in the United States who peacefully practice their religion; it threatens the very ideals that built the foundation of our democracy. Muslims help make up the fabric of our nation. They work in our local businesses, teach in our schools, compete on our sports teams and risk their lives in defense of our country.
Just like all of us, Muslims deserve to live free from threat, violence or persecution.
The Department of Justice has a long-standing commitment to combating hate-motivated violence. And with the FBI now tracking hate crimes targeting Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and Arab Americans, it greatly enhances our ability to understand the problem and effectively allocate resources.
In the years since 9/11, the Justice Department has investigated more than 1,000 incidents involving acts of violence, threats, assaults, vandalism and arson targeting Arab, Muslim, Sikh and South Asian Americans, as well as those individuals perceived to be members of these groups.
In recent years, we've indicted a defendant for firebombing a Hindu temple in New York and prosecuted a defendant for beating a Sikh cab driver in Washington State. These cases are part of our broader efforts to protect places of worship and people of all faiths and ethnicities, including prosecuting defendants for vandalizing churches in California and firing a gun at a synagogue in Utah.
We've also intervened to ensure that Jewish employees can serve the Birmingham, Alabama, Police Department without being forced to work on Shabbat; that students in DeKalb County, Georgia, can attend school free from religious discrimination and harassment; and that religious communities can build houses of worship free from unjust, unlawful interference.
We face challenging times. But we must not allow our enemies to define how we live or to dictate how we treat one another.
And as our nation fights terrorism, each of us must renew our efforts to fight discrimination and hate that violate our laws and values.
If we stand united in these efforts - defending diversity over discrimination and choosing courage over cowardice - there exists no challenge America cannot overcome and no enemy we cannot defeat.
Vanita Gupta is Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and head of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. Paul J. Fishman is U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Alton Brown refrigerates his wings, then steams them, then refrigerate them again. The rationale behind refrigerating them was to dry them out so they would be crispy after baking them.
Was the first refrigeration actually needed? The wings are steamed afterwards, so pre-drying them seem pointless. Or was the first refrigeration's purpose something else?
Interestingly, that first refrigeration isn't mentioned here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/buffalo-wings-recipe.html

Scott Disick of “The Kardashians” fame seems to have noticed a change in the appearances of Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian following their respective breakups. During the premiere of the show’s season 3, which streamed on Hulu on May 25th, he asked the sisters if they had undergone a “breakup diet.”
The premiere of season 3 of “The Kardashians” on Hulu also showcased the romance between KKW Beauty founder Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson. In a June 2022 episode of the series, Kim detailed how their relationship began with a kiss during a scene of “Saturday Night Live,” after which she contacted the producer to get Davidson’s number. Despite not thinking about anything long term, Kim said she was “DTF” when she texted Davidson and ended up dating him for several months before their eventual split in August 2022.
Khloé Kardashian, on the other hand, has experienced many ups and downs in her relationships, particularly with ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Tristan Thompson. In the season 2 premiere, Khloé confirmed that she and Thompson quietly split as she found out he faced a paternity lawsuit with fitness model Maralee Nichols. Khloé expanded her family with Tristan as he acknowledged son Theo’s paternity a month after his arrival in December 2021.
In September 2022, viewers were offered a glimpse into the birth of Khloé and Tristan’s second child. The “Strong Looks Better Naked” author revealed that she had been feeling depressed and sad since December and was now excited to “close that chapter” and move on to a positive, happy life with her two children.

However, as with any engine, proper maintenance is critical to ensure it runs at its best. One of the best and valuable components of the 6.0 Powerstroke engine is its fuel injectors.
Without adequately functioning injectors, the engine cannot perform at its full potential, leading to decreased fuel efficiency and power output. In this article, we will dig deep dive into the world of fuel injectors for the Best Injectors for 6.0 Powerstroke, exploring today’s best options.
Whether you want to replace your existing injectors or upgrade to a high-performance set, we’ve covered you with all the information you need to make an informed decision. So, buckle up, and let’s dive in to find the best injectors for 6.0 Power-stroke.
Read More: WHY DO SOME CARS HAVE TWO EXHAUST SYSTEMS?
What Is an Injector and What Is It Used For?
An injector is a mechanical component used in diesel engines to deliver fuel to the combustion chamber. Its primary function is to ensure that the fuel is atomized and delivered in a fine mist, allowing it to ignite and burn more efficiently.
Injectors comprise several components, including a nozzle, plunger, and solenoid. The nozzle delivers the fuel, while the plunger controls the fuel injected into the combustion chamber. Meanwhile, the solenoid regulates the fuel injection’s timing and duration.
Fuel injection is critical to a diesel engine’s performance and efficiency. Unlike gasoline engines, which rely on a spark to ignite the fuel, diesel engines use the heat generated by compressed air to ignite the fuel. It means fuel injection’s timing and volume must be precise to achieve optimal combustion and power output.
The injector pressurizes fuel and delivers it into the combustion chamber at a high velocity. Next, the fuel is sprayed into the chamber in a fine mist, allowing it to mix with the compressed air and ignite. This process creates the necessary heat and pressure to drive the engine’s pistons and produce power.
As diesel engines have evolved, so too have injectors. Modern injectors are highly engineered and designed to deliver fuel with extreme precision and efficiency. As a result, it allows engines to achieve better performance and fuel economy while reducing emissions.

After responding to a thread on Reddit in the fountainpen subreddit (reddit.com/r/fountainpens), I decided to do a little breakdown of my opinion on Noodler’s Black inks. While there are several other resources and scattered reviews out there, I figured it would help out to have a few thoughts all in the same place with the inks on the same page. I have a hard time reviewing black inks in depth because I’ve already found my go-to black (Sailor Kiwa-Guro Nano Black), which reminds me, I should really do a review of that. Anyway, here’s some quick thoughts on the differences between the four most talked about Noodler’s blacks!
After looking through my ink sample drawer, I found that I had some Dark Matter, Heart of Darkness, Borealis Black and X-Feather. Here’s an album of some quick swatches I made dipping a Lamy Safari Broad Nib:
The Dark Matter is definitely more of a very dark grey-black with some nice shading. I really like this ink in an extra fine nib. It’s nice when you don’t want a black that’s too dark. I’ve gone through several samples of this ink, but after owning a few different blacks, and a few grey inks, I deemed purchasing a bottle as unnecessary (for me at least).
Noodler’s X-Feather is definitely not my favorite. It’s a dark black that was meant to not feather on lesser-quality papers. I’ve had it feather on Rhodia, which is definitely not preferable. Nothing really unique about the color, it’s just kind of black. Probably my least favorite of the bunch due to the weird qualities. I usually don’t write on non-fountain pen friendly papers so this ink wouldn’t see much use, although keep in mind your mileage may vary.
Heart of Darkness is supposed to be the darkest, but it’s really hard to tell the difference between that and the X-Feather. There is a bit of a different sheen to this ink though when compared to the other three. Definitely a good, solid, dark black that’s available in a nice, big bottle.
Borealis Black (check my review here) is similar in shade to the X-Feather, but with no sheen like the Heart of Darkness. The ink is definitely the smoothest writing out of the four, but I wasn’t thrilled with the performance. Check the review to see more about this ink.
Thanks for reading, hope this could help some of you out there trying to choose a Noodler’s black!
P.S. – A big milestone on this blog is coming up really soon, and I have something really cool to give show you!
16 thoughts on “A quick comparison of Noodler’s Black Inks”
What about the original Noodler’s Black? If you need a sample, I’d be willing to send a sample once I acquire the vials.
I think in the context of the post I initially did this for, the person asking already knew about the standard black. However, good point, it should definitely be in there!
I’ll have to rummage through my samples, but I might not have that one. If you would like to trade samples, email me through the Trading Post when you get your vials!
Yeah, you need Noodler’s Black in there. I find it very smooth in something like a Lamy Fine nib. Good, solid black.
As for X-Feather, I call it eXtra-Feather. It seems to feather more than most other inks I have, which is not what I bought it for….
I just went through all my samples, can’t believe I didn’t have one of the classic Noodler’s Black.
I definitely see why they call it that!
For some strange reason I have had the same result. It does seem to feather more than a great number of others.
Very useful post. Thanks!
Not a problem, thanks for reading!
A nearly perfect comparison. Needs the ol’ standby – and DEFINITELY needs Noodler’s Old Manhattan Blackest Black. I could mail you a couple of milliliters…
I haven’t tried that one. If you’d like to send some, that would be great! Shoot me an email email@example.com. Thanks!
Ever thought about making a font out of your printing above?
very helpful to choose suitable one of them. Great job !!!
