Squeezing More Battery Juice Out of a Smartphone

If your phone is getting less time between trips to the charger, make sure external heat and power-hungry apps aren’t part of the problem.


Cleaning house is a good thing to do.
Understand the apps you are running.

When Asked to Dinner, Can You Say ‘Maybe’?

Also, wanting to buy a $400 dress despite debt, dispatching faraway friends to a granddaughter’s birthday party, and the allure of switching cities.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

The man said airline staff initially said he would not be able to board the small aircraft because it lacked wheelchair-accessible boarding ramps or elevators.

An easy answer is no.

Drama, Humor and a Sex Scene Every 15 Minutes

The New York Asian Film Festival spotlights a contemporary reboot of a venerable Japanese genre known as roman porno.

Heterosexual rent boys . . .

It is good that real time does not exist in film.

Life on camera has little appeal.

Want to Raise Your Child to Love Reading? Read These Secrets

Our children’s books editor talks about our new guide for getting children hooked on books and celebrates how kid lit has become more diverse.

"The stakes are high, not just for individual children and the adults they become, the adult lives they’ll lead, but also for — and I am not exaggerating here, I really believe this — our civilization. Democracy depends on people capable of thinking critically and that often rests on reading critically. For most people, these habits start in childhood."

"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."

Pence to Replace His Chief of Staff

The move, a planned voluntary departure by Josh Pitcock, is the first major internal change in the office of Vice President Mike Pence.

When I read R. H. Rimmer I considered it porn.
I found the sociology fascinating in my hormonal haze.
I kept reading and discovered his interesting proposed political manipulation.

The form of the Republican plot is familiar.

M.L.B. Umpire Coaxes Woman Off Bridge Before Pirates-Rays Game

John Tumpane was strolling near the Roberto Clemente Bridge when he saw a woman climb over the railing. What followed were chaotic moments of panic and grace.

Suicide is a personal choice. 
Suicide prevention must remain a personal choice.
Suicide as a weapon is short of military command in the spectrum of corrupt behavior.

I attempt not to be corrupt.
I hope I would interfere with a public suicide.

The Trump Lies Project: Next Steps

Some of the president’s defenders have argued that his penchant for lying is no different than other presidents. We are skeptical of that notion, but we’re open to evidence.

The next move is with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is the corrupt product of corruption.

He is definitely not a mushroom.
He resembles a toxic fungus.

Why Fog Lamps Are Starting to Disappear

Several luxury automakers have moved away from fog lights, saying that new high-tech headlights render them obsolete.

The reasoning is fallacious.

Fog Lamps interfere with forward vision.
Increased local illumination hides low level signal in noise.
People's visual cortexes are good at finding information.
Eyes are easily blinded by meaningless light.
