I’ve lost count how many hotels I’ve stayed in. Hundreds, for sure, and on every continent except Antarctica. From beach-side resorts in St Kitts to a grand, soaring high-rise in Tokyo, to a castle-adjacent treehouse on the north coast of Scotland, I’ve stayed in some truly lovely places. I’ve also stayed at dilapidated dives in Vegas with rusty faucets and rugs so thin you could see the concrete underneath. The memory of the latter still makes me itch. Over the years I’ve come up with a set of tips and tricks I use in every hotel, from 5-star to wear-your-shoes-in-the-bathroom-star. They range from a little peace of mind and a reduction of annoyance to maintaining a bit of safety and health while traveling. 1. THE REMOTE IS GROSS What is touched by everyone but rarely cleaned? A quick swipe with some baby wipes or a damp (not wet) hand towel should help a bit. 2. 68 DEGREES FARENHEIT IS 20 DEGREES CENTIGRADE Need to set the thermostat in your room but you’re confused? … [Read more...] about Do you really need that small shampoo bottle? 10 hotel tips from a frequent traveller

HONG KONG: Violent clashes broke out in Hong Kong on Wednesday (Jun 12) as police tried to stop protesters storming the city's parliament, while tens of thousands of people blocked key arteries in a show of strength against government plans to allow extraditions to China. Police used rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray and batons to disperse crowds of black-clad demonstrators - most of them young people and students - calling for authorities to scrap the Beijing-backed law. The city's police chief said the protests were "a riot situation", and warned the public to avoid the Admiralty area. Ambulances were seen heading towards the protest area. More than 10 people were wounded in the clashes, Cable TV reported. Clashes broke out shortly after 3pm - the deadline protesters had given for the government to abandon the controversial bill. Rows of riot police were quickly outnumbered by protesters - many wearing face masks, helmets or goggles - who gathered in … [Read more...] about Hong Kong police fire tear gas, rubber bullets as clashes with protesters break out

If you’ve heard of fusion energy, you’ve probably heard of tokamaks. These doughnut-shaped devices are meant to cage ionized gases called plasmas in magnetic fields while heating them to the outlandish temperatures needed for hydrogen nuclei to fuse. Tokamaks are the workhorses of fusion—solid, symmetrical, and relatively straightforward to engineer—but progress with them has been plodding. Now, tokamaks’ rebellious cousin is stepping out of the shadows. In a gleaming research lab in Germany’s northeastern corner, researchers are preparing to switch on a fusion device called a stellarator, the largest ever built. The €1 billion machine, known as Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), appears now as a 16-meter-wide ring of gleaming metal bristling with devices of all shapes and sizes, innumerable cables trailing off to unknown destinations, and technicians tinkering with it here and there. It looks a bit like Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon, towed in for repairs after a run-in with the Imperial fleet. … [Read more...] about The bizarre reactor that might save nuclear fusion

HONG KONG: Cracks appeared to emerge on Friday (Jun 14) in the support base for a proposed Hong Kong law that would allow extraditions to China as opponents of the Bill vowed further demonstrations after hundreds of thousands took to the streets this week. The extradition Bill, which will cover Hong Kong residents and foreign and Chinese nationals living or travelling in the city, has many concerned it may threaten the rule of law that underpins Hong Kong's international financial status. On Friday, one of the key advisers to Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, Executive Council member Bernard Chan, told Cable TV that he did not think formal discussion of the Bill, a precursor to a final vote by the legislature, should continue at present given the opposition.
