$%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

You head over to your local drug store one rainy day and pick up a cheap umbrella since you lost your old one. It works fine for a few months, and then one quick gust of wind completely ravages it. So what do you do? You head over to another local drug store and pick up another cheap umbrella. How many times are you going to do the same dance before you finally realize there’s a better way? We’ve tested more than a dozen of the most popular umbrellas out there and selected the very best options available. After all, trudging around through stormy weather is aggravating enough without having to deal with a problematic umbrella.

Best overall

Our pick for the best overall umbrella you can buy is the BLUNT Metro Travel Umbrella. It’s compact and lightweight, and yet the 37-inch canopy is large enough to cover your entire body. The rip-resistant polyester is held in place by tips that don’t have sharp points, so the tears you experience with cheap umbrellas will never be a problem. As for heavy winds, this umbrella can withstand gale-force winds up to 55 mph, which is much faster than any wind you’ll ever find yourself in.

Blunt Metro, Black: $59.00

Best travel umbrella

If you’re looking for a compact travel umbrella that can be stowed anywhere any yet still provides great protection from the rain, the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella with Teflon Coating is as good as it gets. This great umbrella is just 11.5 inches long when it’s folded, so it can fit in any bag. It also has a teflon-coated canopy as well as resin-reinforced fiberglass ribs that are built to last. How confident is Repel that this umbrella will endure even the harshest storm conditions? So confident that the company offers a lifetime replacement guarantee. In other words, this is the last umbrella you’ll ever buy, no matter what.

Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella with Teflon Coating: $22.95

Best golf umbrella

Anyone in search of an oversized gold umbrella that’s big enough to cover multiple people and durable enough to survive even the most serious storms will find that the BLUNT Golf Umbrella is the best on the market. It uses a patented wind-resistant radial tension system and a special canopy shape to ensure that it provides protection even in heavy winds. The 54-inch canopy is more than wide enough to keep you dry, and the ergonomic handle is still comfortable even when the wind picks up.

Blunt Golf, Aqua Blue: $119.00

More options:

BAGAIL Double Layer Inverted Umbrella. This is a complete reinvention of the umbrella, featuring an inverted design that won’t drip water on your floor when it’s closed.
YUI Compact Travel Umbrella. The YUI Compact Travel Umbrella might be the most compact model you can buy that still does its job well.

Sharpty Inverted Umbrella. Here’s another good inverted umbrella model, and this one has more than a dozen color and pattern options.
MRTLLOA Double Layer Inverted Umbrella. The pretty prints on the bottom of this umbrella’s canopy will make you forget all about the storm you’re stuck in.

Best Zucchini Noodle Makers

$%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

There’s no question that diet and exercise both play huge roles in overall heath, but people tend to put too much emphasis on the former and not enough on the latter. This is especially true when it comes to weight loss; you can spend hours in the gym each week and it’s all for naught if you stuff yourself full of junk food and carbs every day. This is a big reason why vegetable spiralizers are such great things to have. Pasta is always a fast, easy, and delicious choice for dinner, but it’s also packed full of calories. Pick up one of the zucchini noodle makers we’ll recommend below, and that carb-heavy meal becomes a healthy dinner instead.

Best overall

Sometimes the first is in fact the best, and it doesn’t get any better than the Original Zoodle Slicer Complete Vegetable Spiralizer. It’s nowhere near as fancy or heavy-duty as the many spiralizers you can crank, but it’s much simpler and far easier to clean. There are no complex components or even any moving parts. Just stick a zucchini, carrot, or any similar vegetable into the end and turn it with your handle while applying pressure. Presto, you’ve got delicious vegetable noodles ready to be cooked up and sauced!

The Original Zoodle Slicer – Complete Vegetable Spiralizer, Spiral Slicer Bundle (With Cleaning…: $9.99

Best crank style spiralizer

The WonderVeg 5-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer is one of the strongest heavy-duty vegetable noodle makers you’ll ever come across. It makes quick work of any vegetable that crosses its path, and the strong 420-Japanese grade stainless steel blades will stay as razor sharp after the 100th use as they were after the first.

WonderVeg Strongest and Heaviest 5-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer, Best Zoodle Maker, Fruit Slicer…: $22.45

Best vertical crank spiralizer

The Zalik Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer uses a hand crank just like the WonderVeg model we recommended, but it’s vertically oriented instead of horizontally oriented. This form factor is actually a fantastic option for people concerned with portion control, because the vegetable noodles feed into an integrated plastic container. Fill the container and you’ve got one portion, whereas people tend to overeat if they just keep making more noodles until their vegetables are done.

Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer – 4 IN 1 Blade Dial Veggie Spiralizer – Strongest-and-Heaviest Duty…: $19.99

Best Oven Mitts

$%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Of all the essential kitchen tools out there, over mitts are likely the most often neglected. People tend to buy cheap mitts at a local store and then continue to use them long after they start falling apart. Rather than continuing to use the same stained, tattered old mitts that you’ve been suffering with for years, perhaps it’s time for an upgrade. Not all over mitts are created equal though, which is why we put all the top options to the test in order to pick out the best of the bunch.

Best cloth mitts

Cloth oven mitts have come a long way in recent years. In fact, many high-quality cloth mitts offer the same amount of heat protection as silicone mitts. High-quality doesn’t have to mean high prices though, and there is no better evidence of that than the Bestjoy Flame Retardant Oven Mitts. These sleek mitts have a diamond stitch pattern and are heat resistant to 425°, making them ideal for home use. Cook with these oven mitts just one time and you’ll wonder why you waited so long to replace your ratty old mitts.

Oven Mitts Flame Retardant Mitts Heat Resistant to 425° F Black Color 2-Pack: $9.98

Best silicone mitts

Silicone oven mitts are all the rage right now, due in part to the fact that people seem to think that silicone inherently offers better heat protection. While that isn’t necessarily true, silicone mitts do offer another big benefit over cloth: they’re much easier to clean. Anyone in search of a fantastic pair of silicone mitts should pick up the Homwe Extra Long Professional Silicone Oven Mitts. They feature a fantastic design, great grip, quilted cloth lining for comfort, and a wonderfully affordable price tag.

Silicone Oven Mitts with Quilted Cotton Lining – Professional Heat Resistant Kitchen Pot Holder…: $14.97

Best glove-style mitts

While traditional oven mitts are certainly the most common type of heat protection in the kitchen, they’re not the only option. People looking for heat protection that can stay on your hands and even protect you while you prep should check out the Semboh Extreme Heat Resistant Oven Mitt Gloves. In addition to providing heat resistance up to 1,472° and anti-slip silicone studs on the interior side, they also protect your fingers from accidental knife cuts.

: $17.88

More options:

Swish Abode Red Silicone Pinch Mitts. Some people prefer pinch mitts to traditional oven mitts because they’re so much easier to put on and take off.
BIG RED HOUSE Oven Mitts. These cotton mitts let the wearer enjoy the comfort and flexibility of cotton, and yet they resist heat even better than most silicone oven mitts.
Frux Black Silicone Oven Hot Mitts. These comfortable silicone oven mitts feature one of the best anti-slip textures we tested.
Cuisinart Silicone Mini Oven Mitts. These mini mitts are made of silicone, but they offer the comfort and flexibility of cloth mitts.
DII Cotton Long Terry Double Oven Mitt. In addition to traditional mitts, pinch mitts, and gloves, the double mitt is another popular form factor that many people love.

Whether you’re a longtime runner or you’re just beginning to get into it, it’s impossible to stress enough just how important it is to get a good pair of running shoes. Poorly made running shoes can cause huge problems in the short term, because it’s far too easy to injure yourself when you don’t have a good quality shoe. They can also have a long-term negative impact if they don’t have good arch support and ankle support. If you’re looking for a new running shoe that checks all of the important boxes, you’re come to the right place because we’ve rounded up some of the best options on the market right now.

Best overall

The choice wasn’t easy, but we’ve selected the ASICS Mens Gel-Venture 6 Running Shoe as our top pick overall. This sleek running shoe comes in a wide range of different color combinations so it’s easy to find one that suits your style. More importantly, the Gel-Venture 6 provides excellent support that will keep you comfortable and safe while you run or jog. A special gel cushion system attenuates shock during the impact phase of each step and helps ensure a smooth transition to your midstance. There’s also a built-in sockliner that can be removed and replaced with a medical orthotic if you use them.

ASICS Mens Gel-Venture 6 Running Shoe: $40.98 – $159.90

Best lightweight shoe

It’s pretty incredible how much engineering is squeezed into the Brooks Mens Ghost 11 Running Shoe, especially considering how lightweight it is. In fact these shoes are so light that it almost feels like you’re running in slippers. Of course the lack of heft is the only thing these great running shoes have in common with slippers, because they’re packed full of design features meant to provide runners with terrific support and maximum comfort.

Brooks Men’s Ghost 11: $110.11 – $825.93

Best breathable shoe

If breathability is a priority for you in addition to comfort and support, definitely check out the Reebok Men’s Fast Flexweave Running Shoe. The shoe’s fiber woven upper portion allows air to pass through freely so your feet can breath with each stride. They still provide fantastic support and energy transfer as well, making them perfect for a treadmill or for road running.

Reebok Men’s Fast Flexweave Running Shoe White/Primal red/Black 9 M US: $77.58

More options:

Red Dead Redemption 2

Rockstar Games, creators of smash hits like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, are back with the second title in this massive franchise and it’s an instant classic.

NBA 2K19

NBA 2K19 – Xbox One: $34.85

Kingdom Hearts III

Combining the worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy might seem like a crazy idea on the surface, but you won’t believe how well they come together in Kingdom Hearts III.

As parts of the United States continue to deal with outbreaks of the easily preventable measles virus in children and adolescents who were never vaccinated, the federal government is taking notice. As CNN reports, the FDA is keeping a very close eye on states with lax vaccine laws, and is considering some pretty drastic measures to prevent parents from taking advantage of certain exemptions.

Most states have some kind of exemption program, whether it be based on “personal beliefs” or religion. Unfortunately, the number of people who are taking advantage of these options is putting public health at risk, and the FDA is preparing to step in before things get out of hand.
