Vaisakhi Celebrations

It is celebrated by both Sikhs and Hindus.
For Sikhs, in addition to its significance as the harvest festival, kirtans are sung and Gurdwaras are visited. Many hold community fairs, kirtan processions, raise the Nishan Sahib flag, and gather to socialise and share festive foods. Vaisakhi also observes major events in the history of Sikhism and the Indian subcontinent that happened in the Punjab region. Vaisakhi marks the birth of the Khalsa order by Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru in 1699. Later, Ranjit Singh was proclaimed as Maharaja of the Sikh Empire on 12 April 1801 (to coincide with Vaisakhi), creating a unified political state. Vaisakhi was also the day when Bengal Army officer Reginald Dyer orders his troops to shoot into a protesting crowd, an event which would come to be known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. This incident proved influential to the history of the Indian independence movement.
For Hindus, Vaisakhi also marks the first day of the month of Vaisakh, celebrating the Spring harvest. Some also consider Vaisakhi to be the date for the Indian Solar New Year, while others consider the previous month of Chet as the date for the New Year.

Do Thermal Curtains Really Work?

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Hamilton

Curtains, particularly thermal lined ones, can reduce heat loss by as much as 60%, depending on the type of windows your home is fitted with.

The key to ensuring you get the most out of your curtains is in understanding exactly how heat is lost, and how the use of thermal lined curtains can prevent this.

Understanding the physics: You know the old saying that hot air rises? Well, during cold weather that is exactly what happens, and something called the reverse chimney effect comes into play.

It is widely accepted that cold air is denser, and therefore heavier, than warm air. When it’s cold outside the air close to the window is cooled and sinks down (due to its density increasing with the temperature change). When the cooled air sinks it’s replaced by warmer air from other parts of the room.

As you can imagine, this then creates a circulating current, taking all of your warm air and replacing it with cool air. And just like that, you have lost most of your heat, not just near the window, but in the entire room.

If your curtains are not fitted correctly they form a channel between the window and the curtain, creating a space for the cooled air to sit and increasing the effect of the reverse chimney. The most important aspect to note is that it is the power of each factor combined, which decreases heat loss. No single factor works in isolation.

Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.
