Resurrection for life

WE can't deny that we leave it days (sometimes even weeks ) before finally making a start on the pile of ironing gathering dust in the corner. So with that in mind, it's hardly surprising that cleaning our actual iron isn't exactly high up on our list of priorities. However, one savvy woman has revealed how she makes this chore an absolute breeze thanks to her clever life hack. Posting on the Facebook group Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It, the cleaning fan explained how she used a paracetamol to get rid of any burn marks on her iron. Sharing a video of the life hack, she wrote: "For those wondering about the trick to remove burn marks on your iron using paracetamol. Here it is for you, it really does work! "Put your iron on Med/High setting. Use a paracetamol tablet (not a capsule). Hold the tablet on the iron until it starts to melt, then rub over burn mark and wipe away. Voila!"

Walking their dog after dinner has always been a favorite daily activity of Tho Pham and his wife, a Vietnamese couple who live with their 39-year-old son in Garden Grove City, California. But not in the last few months as the wave of anti-Asian violence and harassment has terrified him.

Ironically, the BJP, which seeks to unseat the TMC from power, has taken a leaf out of Mamata Banerjee's strategy of soliciting tinsel town's support towards causes and fielding actors in elections.

Photograph: PTI Photo. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s ambition to form its first government in West Bengal and the Trinamool Congress’ bid to seek a third term in power in the state has politically polarised the Bengali film industry and turned it into the parties' new battleground. The TMC's influence over the Tollygunge-based film industry, known by its portmanteau Tollywood, since even before Mamata Banerjee's ascendance to power in 2011, seems to have been waning with several celebrities shifting their allegiance to the … [Read more...] about Bengal’s tinsel town takes sides in high-octane TMC vs BJP battle

MORE than 17,000 earthquakes have been recorded in the south-west of Iceland, in the Reykjanes Peninsula, during the past week. People living in the area have been advised to be extra careful due to dangers of landslides and rockfall. Many of the larger earthquakes have even been felt in Iceland's capital city, Reykjavik (where over half of the population lives), which lies only 27km away. This has led to heightened concerns about the effects of even larger earthquakes and also of a possible eruption from the Krýsuvík volcanic system in the area. South-west Iceland has a track record of centuries of calm, which we know can be broken by turbulent periods of intense earthquake activity accompanied by volcanic eruptions. It looks like we are entering the next turbulent period. The most recent earthquake swarm is in fact the latest in a period of significantly heightened seismic activity that started over a year ago. The shaking of the Earth is the most obvious … [Read more...] about Giant Iceland volcano system may erupt after 17,000 earthquakes recorded in a week
