Ontario ‘pulling the emergency brake’ with third COVID-19 lockdown as cases rise (Reuters) The Canadian province of Ontario will enter a limited lockdown for 28 days on Saturday, as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations rise and more dangerous virus variants take hold, the premier said on Thursday. The lockdown for Canada’s most populous province will fall short of enacting a stay-at-home order. Ontario’s third lockdown since the pandemic began will shutter all indoor and outdoor dining, although retailers will remain open with capacity limits. Schools would remain open, Ontario’s education minister said on Twitter.
Starving for more chips in a tech-hungry world (AP) As the U.S. economy rebounds from its pandemic slump, a vital cog is in short supply: the computer chips that power a wide range of products that connect, transport and entertain us in a world increasingly dependent on technology. The shortage has already been rippling through various markets since last summer. It has made it difficult for schools to buy enough laptops for students forced to learn from home, delayed the release of popular products such as the iPhone 12 and created mad scrambles to find the latest video game consoles. But things have been getting even worse in recent weeks, particularly in the auto industry, where factories are shutting down because there aren’t enough chips to finish building vehicles that are starting to look like computers on wheels. The problem was recently compounded by a grounded container ship that blocked the Suez Canal for nearly a week, choking off chips headed from Asia to Europe. It threatens to leave a big dent in the auto industry, which by some estimates stands to lose $60 billion in sales during the first half of his year. “We have been hit by the perfect storm, and it’s not going away any time soon,” said Baird technology analyst Ted Mortonson.
The U.S. system created the world’s most advanced military. Can it maintain an edge? (Washington Post) As they conduct bombing and surveillance missions around the globe, today’s U.S. military pilots rely on aerial refueling aircraft built as early as 1957, when the Soviet Union dominated American security fears, the average home cost $12,000 and “I Love Lucy” was debuting new episodes. The cost of keeping those aging jets in the air has grown sharply while the military awaits a next-generation refueling plane whose rollout has been repeatedly delayed by design and production issues. The Air Force’s two-decade effort to field a 21st century tanker, one of several premier air systems whose development has been beset with problems, is emblematic of the challenges Pentagon leaders face in seeking to maintain the U.S. military’s shrinking edge over its chief competitor, China. The United States, once the world’s undisputed military superpower, has been struggling for years to efficiently update its arsenal and field new technology in cutting-edge areas such as hypersonics and artificial intelligence, at a time when some senior officials warn that China could be within five years of surpassing the U.S. military. “It’s like the Pentagon is finding itself staring in the rearview mirror in the face of oncoming traffic,” said Mackenzie Eaglen, a defense analyst at the American Enterprise Institute.
The reason many Guatemalans are coming to the border? A profound hunger crisis. (Washington Post) The team of nutritionists looked at 11-month-old Dilcia Cajbon, her ribs visible through her skin, and they knew immediately. “Severe acute malnutrition,” said Stefany Martinez, the leader of the UNICEF team, as the child was lifted onto a scale. Like many in this rural stretch of Guatemala, Dilcia’s family was down to one meal a day. Storms had flooded the nearby palm plantation, the biggest source of local employment. As more and more Central American families arrive at the United States’ southern border, the municipality of Panzós offers a stark illustration of the deepening food crisis that is contributing to the new wave of migration. So far this year, more unaccompanied minors processed by immigration agents are from Guatemala than any other country. Analysts and U.S. officials refer obliquely to “poverty” as an underlying cause of that influx. But often the reason is far more specific: hunger. Guatemala now has the sixth-highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the world. The number of acute cases in children, according to one new Guatemalan government study, doubled between 2019 and 2020. The crisis was caused in part by failed harvests linked to climate change, a string of natural disasters and a nearly nonexistent official response.
Venezuelan military offensive sends thousands fleeing (AP) ARAUQUITA, Colombia—A new campaign by the Venezuelan military near the country’s lawless western border is sparking a surge of refugees, with thousands defying the spiking pandemic to pack into makeshift shelters and tent settlements in this Colombian town. The sudden outflow is amplifying a renewed wave of Venezuelan refugees and migrants—the world’s second-largest group of internationally displaced people—from the broken socialist state. Concern is also rising about mounting tensions between the left-wing Venezuelan and right-wing Colombian governments, which are blaming each other for the uptick in violence in Venezuela’s western Apure state. The Venezuelan military launched a campaign two weeks ago against a rogue faction of Colombian guerrillas in this jungle region along the Arauca River. The guerrillas, known as the 10th Front, appear to have run afoul of the government in Caracas, which allegedly has had long-standing profit-sharing and protection deals with other leftist fighters in the area engaged in narco-trafficking and extortion. The Venezuelan government “doesn’t seem to be defending its sovereignty, but protecting its drug-trafficking business,” Colombian Defense Minister Diego Molano told Colombian National Radio last week.
Food bank, charities busy in Algarve as pandemic ravages Portugal tourism (Reuters) Carla Lacerda used to earn a good salary selling duty-free goods to holidaymakers arriving at Algarve airport in southern Portugal, but she lost her job last August due to the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly ran out of cash to feed her two kids. The 40-year-old now receives around 500 euros ($587) per month in unemployment benefits, leaving her no option but to join the queue for food donations. Lacerda is one of thousands of people whose lives have been turned upside down by the pandemic, which has ravaged tourism across the sun-drenched Algarve region and left its popular beaches and golf resorts largely deserted. Algarve’s food bank, which has two warehouses in the region, is now helping 29,000 people, almost double the number before the pandemic.
Italy may be in Easter lockdown, but the party’s on at sea (AP) Italy may be in a strict coronavirus lockdown this Easter with travel restricted between regions and new quarantines imposed. But a few miles offshore, guests aboard the MSC Grandiosa cruise ship are shimmying to Latin music on deck and sipping cocktails by the pool. After cruise ships were early sources of highly publicized coronavirus outbreaks, the Grandiosa has tried to chart a course through the pandemic with strict anti-virus protocols approved by Italian authorities that seek to create a “health bubble” on board. Passengers and crew are tested before and during cruises. Mask mandates, temperature checks, contact-tracing wristbands and frequent cleaning of the ship are all designed to prevent outbreaks. Passengers from outside Italy must arrive with negative COVID-19 tests taken within 48 hours of their departures and only residents of Europe’s Schengen countries plus Romania, Croatia and Bulgaria are permitted to book under COVID-19 insurance policies. Passengers welcomed the semblance of normalcy brought on by the freedom to eat in a restaurant or sit poolside without a mask, even if the virus is still a present concern.
Pakistan, India peace move silences deadly Kashmir frontier (AP) The machine guns peeking over parapets of small, sandbagged concrete bunkers and the heavy artillery cannons dug deep into Himalayan Kashmir’s rugged terrain have fallen silent. At least for now. The Line of Control, a highly militarized de facto border that divides the disputed region between the two nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan, and a site of hundreds of deaths, is unusually quiet after the two South Asian neighbors last month agreed to reaffirm their 2003 cease-fire accord. The cease-fire, experts say, could stabilize the lingering conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives. Kashmiris say the rare move should lead to resolution of the dispute.
Myanmar’s military shuts down Internet (Washington Post) Myanmar’s military government ordered broadband Internet shutdowns Thursday amid ongoing violent suppression of opposition to its ouster of the country’s democratically elected government. The escalation came as the country marked two months since the army’s toppling of the civilian-led government, which has faced widespread public resistance despite the military’s lethal response: More than 500 civilian protesters have been killed and more than 2,000 arrested since Feb. 1, according to local activists. The United Nations’ special envoy for Myanmar, Christine Schraner Burgener, on Wednesday warned that “a bloodbath is imminent” if the international community did not act to quell the violence. Last Saturday marked the bloodiest day since the coup, with troops reportedly killing over 140 protesters in more than 40 locations across the country.
Train derails in eastern Taiwan, killing 48, injuring dozens (AP) A train partially derailed in eastern Taiwan on Friday after being hit by a parked truck that had rolled down a hill onto the track, killing 48 people. With the train still partly in a tunnel, survivors climbed out of windows and walked along the train’s roof to reach safety after the country’s deadliest railway disaster. The crash occurred near the Toroko Gorge scenic area on the first day of a long holiday weekend when many people were hopping trains on Taiwan’s extensive rail system. The train had been carrying more than 400 people.
Egypt expects $1 billion in damages over stuck ship in Suez (AP) Egypt is expecting more than $1 billion in compensation after a cargo ship blocked the Suez Canal for nearly a week, according to the top canal official. Lt. Gen. Ossama Rabei, head of the canal authority, said that the amount takes into account the salvage operation, costs of stalled traffic, and lost transit fees for the week that the Ever Given had blocked the Suez Canal. “It’s the country’s right,” Rabei said, without specifying who would be responsible for paying the compensation. The massive cargo ship is currently in one of the canal’s holding lakes, where authorities and the ship’s managers say an investigation is ongoing. Rabei said that if an investigation went smoothly and the compensation amount was agreed on, then the ship could travel on without problems. However, if the issue of compensation involved litigation, then the Ever Given and its some $3.5 billion worth of cargo would not be allowed to leave Egypt.
Cellular turnover (Scientific American) A new study published in Nature Medicine takes another shot at the rate of cellular turnover in the human body. Basically, your individual component cells have shorter lifespans than you do as a larger organism. Fat cells last an average of 12 years, a muscle cell lasts 50, blood cells live anywhere from three to 120 days, and the cells lining your gut make it less than a week. On any given day, an estimated 330 billion cells are replaced, so about 1 percent every day. Over the course of 80 to 100 days, about 30 trillion cells will turn over, equivalent to about one “you.”

Plantation Shutters: How to Determine Which Louver Size Is Best
Window coverings might not be the first item on your agenda when it comes to designing or remodeling your home.
However, this choice can be a very important one.
The right window treatments will give you the perfect amount of natural light, while providing you with the privacy you desire.
Additionally, the shades you choose can give your home a ton of character, serving as a finishing touch for your cozy, stylish, beautiful home.
There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when choosing the right window coverings.
For instance, let's say you've decided to go with plantation shutters. It's not enough to simply think about the color you want, or even the type of material you want, be it wood or vinyl.
While this is important, something even more pressing is what louver size you choose.
Today, we'll show you what kinds of options you have. We hope this will make the shutter-buying process much easier for you.
3 Louver Size Options – Which One Is Right for Your Needs?
Do you love the look of shutters?
If so, you're not alone. We find many of our customers love shutters of all kinds, including plantation shutters and café shutters.
In fact, these options are totally on-trend right now, making their appearance in design magazines and homes across the nation.
If you've decided shutters are your covering of choice, the next thing you need to determine is what size louver to get.
The louvers are the horizontal strips of wood or vinyl you open and close for privacy and light.
Louver size will determine just how much privacy you get and how much light you're able to let into your space. The sizes of the louvers are an important design feature, too, because not every size looks great in every space.
Here are three sizes you can choose from:
1. The Two-and-a-Half-Inch Louver
Smaller louvers tend to look better on smaller windows. Larger louvers can overwhelm a small window and make the entire room seem out of balance.
If you have windows which are shorter than 36” the two-and-a-half-inch louver is probably best.
The same can be said if you have a fairly shallow space.
Larger louvers require a certain amount of depth in order to fully open. This isn't a luxury every homeowner has. A smaller louver will be a better fit for shallow window sills.
2. Three-and-a-Half-Inch Louvers
The medium louver size of three-and-a-half-inches is the most popular option. It's a good fit for the majority of windows, including those which are on the larger side.
These louvers give homeowners the option to have a less obstructed view to the outdoors. How so?
When you have a smaller louver size, you typically need an extra shutter panel to completely cover a larger window. More panels mean more coverage.
On the other hand, the larger louver size means you probably only need two panels.
3. The Four-and-a-Half-Inch Louver Alternative
Finally, we have the four-and-a-half-inch louver option.
If you want to be able to see outside with relatively little visual interference, this is the louver for you. It provides the most unobstructed view of all these options.
And this means you'll have even more natural light passing through the shutters and into your home.
While this isn't everyone's cup of tea, we find quite a few of our customers love the larger louver size if they live in an area with a great view of the ocean, mountains, or a stunning city skyline.
The Right Shutter Will Give You the Privacy You Need and the Beauty You Desire
If you're looking for a window covering which embodies timeless beauty and elegance, shutters are likely your best bet.
They are a wonderful option for nearly every style of home. Shutters can look fresh, and modern. They can also make a space feel cozy, romantic, and traditional. And if you're going for an easy, breezy beach home-, shutters will fit this design aesthetic as well.
Going beyond the design element, though, these coverings are a great source of privacy. You can completely block out views to the outside, but you also have the option of opening them up wide for a lovely, unobstructed view.
Shutters are also a wonderful source of natural light. Unlike other covering options, like roller blinds, you can adjust your shutters to let in just the right amount of light throughout the day.
There's no question as to why so many of our customers name shutters as their favorite window treatment.
We think with the right material and louver size, you, too, will find shutters are the perfect finishing touch to the design of your new home or remodel.

8 Energy Saving Window Treatments
When people think about energy saving upgrades to their house the first thing they think of is their windows. While it’s true that windows are a source of heat loss in your home there are bigger sources of heat loss like attic insulation you should focus on first.
With autumn just on the horizon it’s time to start thinking about weatherizing your house to get it ready for the cold winter weather and windows are an important part of that equation. So, I thought I’d put together some easy and effective ways to soup up the efficiency of your old windows with eight energy saving window treatments anyone can do.
These are all time tested ideas that don’t require a contractor or serious work on a deep energy retrofit. A weekend, a tape measure, and a drill will help you get most of these treatments in place before the colder weather hits and heating prices go up.
Window Replacement…NOT
I’ll keep saying it on this blog, but window replacement is not the solution to most window issues you are facing. There are times when it makes sense, but don’t head down this route first without looking at some of the much less expensive and more effective energy saving window treatments in this post.
Still thinking about window replacement? Read some of these posts below and see if the facts can convince you, like they have me, that window replacement is not what it’s cracked up to be.
Replacement Windows: The Real Story
Are Historic Windows Efficient?
6 Myths About Old Windows
1. Shutters
Exterior
A lot of shutters today are simply decorative and don’t function, but once upon a time shutters were a very important part of every window. Along with protecting the window during a storm, exterior shutters are excellent at keeping out the hot sun and cold winds.
Putting operable exterior shutters on your house and opening and closing them accordingly can make huge gains in energy efficiency. Close your shutters on the west side of your house before the afternoon sun starts pouring through your windows and you will notice a marked difference.
In the winter close them during those winter storms keep the cold winter wind off the glass and cut down on both condensation and heat loss.
Interior
Plantation shutters are a popular and attractive way to provide privacy and upgrade the energy performance of your windows too. Angling the slats upward during the winter and downward in the summer keeps the heat where it belongs. Simple, effective, and attractive.
You can buy traditional interior and exterior wood shutters from places like ShutterCraft or Southern Shutter.
2. Storm Windows
Exterior
If you live in the northern states then you know the benefits of exterior storm windows. The selection is huge and there are dozens of reputable manufacturers to choose from. Exterior storms can be expensive, but they arguably provide the greatest improvement in energy efficiency of almost any window.
Interior
Interior storm panels made by companies like Indow, Innerglass, Magnetite and others are another option that are even better at air sealing your window than an exterior storm. They don’t provide protection from the weather like exterior storms, but they are an easy to install, DIY project compared to exterior storms which usually require a contractor to install.
3. Cellular Shades
Cellular shades, sometimes called honeycomb shades, are lightweight attractive shades that come in a wide variety of styles and functions. They are particularly effective at blocking both heat and cold because their design creates an air pocket between the window and the room that provides insulation.
A little more expensive than run of the mill blinds, cellular shades are more effective and you get what you pay for in terms of energy performance.
4. Window Film
Talk about simple and inexpensive! Window film is possibly the easiest to install and least expensive of these eight energy saving window treatments. At a couple dollars per square foot and an easy DIY installation this would be one of the first things I’d try on my windows.
Window film doesn’t make a big difference for cold climates but in southern climates where the sun can come through your windows and cook you this is almost a must. There are a variety of films that offer different levels of UV blocking and appearances. Check out all the options to get the right one for your needs.
5. Solar Screens
I didn’t understand the effectiveness of solar screens until I stood beneath my father-in-law’s new pergola in the July sun. Across the top of the pergola he had run some solar screening that claimed to block out 85% of the heat and boy did it! The moment I stepped below that screen I could feel a huge difference in temperature. It was still hot outside but I didn’t feel the heat of the sun on my skin like before.
The great thing about solar screening is that you can easily upgrade your existing screens whether they are historic wood screens or newer aluminum frames. You just replace the screening and keep the frame. You can get different levels of coverage from 70-95%. I like the 70-75% versions because I can barely notice the decrease of light for those versions. You can find solar screening here.
6. Draperies
Drapes may seem old fashioned but they are very effective at keeping heat where it belongs. Closing heavy drapes during the day is very effective at keeping heat out and for the winter months closing them at night keeps the heat in. The style doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is using them as the weather dictates.
7. Awnings
Look at old pictures of almost every big building before the advent of air conditioning and you’ll notice awnings. Even the White House was covered in awnings back in the day. That’s because awnings are the perfect passive heat blocking window treatment.
Here’s how it works, awnings block the hot summer sun from your windows, yet allow the winter sun (which is lower in the horizon) to shine through and warm the house when you need the heat. It’s ingenious. No work is required from you to make adjustments as the seasons change. Awnings just work, plain and simple.
8. Blinds
Interior blinds are in almost every house and there are a multitude of styles and prices for any budget. Just like shutters you turn the slats up in the winter to keep the heat in and turn the slats down in the summer to keep the heat out. Another easy and inexpensive energy saving window treatment anyone can do.
What else have you found effective to keep the weather at bay and make your home more comfortable? Tell me in the comments the treatments you’ve used with success so we can all benefit.

Discount Plantation Shutters
Are you a homemaker looking for a change in your window coverings? Bored with the same heavy velvety drapes and want a sleek modern look that is stylish yet affordable? Then discount plantation shutters could be the right choice for you. These affordable and durable coverings for interior windows have been around since colonial times. At that time, glass was not easily available and these window coverings protected one from rain and wind while allowing a view to the outside.
The advantages:
Apart from making a style statement, the discount plantation shutters have several other advantages. These include:
• The discount plantation shutters control the amount of sunlight during the hot summer months. This in turn reduces the cost of cooling the house.
• During winter months the discount plantation shutters help to insulate the house from the cold, resulting in fuel savings.
• The discount plantation shutters can fit most windows.
• They can regulate light easily and looks good in both old and new homes.
• The discount plantation shutters can help prevent warping and fading of your furniture by blocking out the harmful UV rays of the sun.
• They are also proven to add real value to your home, making it a true investment for your future.
The disadvantages
The discount plantation shutters are often lacking in design elements that distinctive in fine plantation shutters. These include details like hand-sanded louvers, fine furniture finishes and multiple-coat painting techniques.
Where can you get them?
You can purchase discount plantation shutters in many places like:
1. The local window specialty store. Often the stores want to clear out last year’s designs, so they offer discounts [often up to 50%] on these shutters. Often the discount plantation shutters found here are in last year’s style, but they are still a good choice.
2. You can also buy discount plantation shutters directly from the factory. Buying from the factory is a great way to ensure that you get good quality at a great price.
3. You can also check out the Internet retail stores. Online stores often stock a lot of different models and designs and offer huge discounts on their products.
In most cases you can install the shutters yourself but, if you cannot, most of the shops have a carpenter who will install them for you. There are many places you can purchase your shutters, you just need to find which place has the shutters you want at the best price. Remember discount plantation shutters are a permanent addition to your home. So you need to check with your CPA or tax advisor to see if there are any tax deductions available to you as a result. Discount plantation shutters are a great way to spruce up your old décor. Whether colonial or contemporary, the discount plantation shutters are a great way to make a style statement in your house. At the same time, discount plantation shutters are affordable and help you to save money.
