Uses of Wooden Candle Holders
Now people from various countries and even different walks of life have started to use them. Especially people who love to add a natural touch and feel to their home décor fondly choose rustic wooden candle holders. Wooden candleholders come in many gorgeous and attractive varieties making them the perfect décor products not just for houses but for work places as well.
Rustic Wood Candle Holders for Showcases and Table Tops
All wooden candle holders exude that natural touch but the rustic wooden candle holders portray their true nature, which is the beauty of the deep woods. The sharp wooden cuts and inner layers with light wood color elevate their raw beauty. These distressed wooden candle holders can be placed anywhere inside the house. From showcases to the dining table, these candle holders create an elegant ambience.
Distressed wooden candle holders
They can be used as tabletop decor accents alongside glass vases with small ferns and long rustic wooden candle holders by their side to create a sight of stunning beauty making an amalgamation of classy elegance of glass and the natural rawness of wood.
For the Altars
The >tall wooden candle holders are mostly made for the altars where they display their spiritual charm. These types of wooden candleholders are quite simple by looks as they are not generalized as other home décor products. Especially the taper wood candle holders and the mid-century modern wood candle holders are the most preferred types. Both these wooden candle holders pretty much look identical in shapes as they look like two triangle shaped cups inverted and connected at their bases except for the taper wooden candle holders have a very broad base and are tall and lean towards the top.
Taper wood candle holders
The mid-century candle holders pretty much look the same at both ends. But both these wooden candle holder types have subtle engravings on their bodies or at times very detailed and embossed design work to complement the surroundings of the altar or even the church or chapels.
Simple looking Tealight Candle Holders for the Teapoys and Window Sills
The wooden tealight candle holders are small and simple looking décor products but still display flair and beauty. Their small size and shape serve the purpose of being placed on the teapoys to hold small tealight candles.
At times these wooden candle holders are even placed near the window sills lifting the glam quotient of home décor. These cute looking décor items exude elegance even without candles in them and at times are used as paper weights on desks and study tables.
Vintage Wooden Candle Holders for Offices
The vintage wooden candle holders as the name suggest, carry ancient beauty in the form of intrinsic engravings and detailed carvings on their bodies. Even as modern technology has risen drastically and wood candle holders are being made in many alluring and captivating shapes and sizes, there is still wide reception and critical acclaim for the vintage wooden candle holders.
They find a place especially among the modern day classy and chic looking office spaces. Be it the glass cubicles or partitioned work spaces, these vintage wooden candleholders add that contrasting charm where past meets present making it a subtle coexistence.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump distortions on the wall, steel, climate
President Donald Trump claimed great progress in building the border wall even though it’s no longer than before he took office. He dismissed the reality of global warming because of a fierce, passing cold spell. He described the steel industry as “totally revived” despite 20,000 job losses over the past decade.
A look at his recent rhetoric and the reality:
THE WALL
TRUMP: “The chant now should be ‘finish the wall’ as opposed to ‘Build the Wall’ because we’re building a lot of wall. I started this six months ago — we really started going to town — because I could see we were going nowhere with the Democrats.” — comments Friday.
TRUMP: “Large sections of WALL have already been built with much more either under construction or ready to go. Renovation of existing WALLS is also a very big part of the plan to finally, after many decades, properly Secure Our Border. The Wall is getting done one way or the other!” — tweet Thursday.
THE FACTS: Despite all his talk of progress, he’s added no extra miles of barrier to the border to date. Construction is to start this month on a levee wall system in the Rio Grande Valley that will add 14 miles of barrier, the first lengthening in his presidency. That will be paid for as part of $1.4 billion approved by Congress last year.
Most work under contracts awarded by the Trump administration has been for replacement of existing barrier.
When Trump says large parts of the wall “have already been built,” he’s not acknowledging that previous administrations built those sections. Barriers currently extend for 654 miles (1,052 kilometers), or about one-third of the border. That construction was mostly done from 2006 to 2009.
———
STEEL INDUSTRY
TRUMP: “Tariffs on the ‘dumping’ of Steel in the United States have totally revived our Steel Industry. New and expanded plants are happening all over the U.S. We have not only saved this important industry, but created many jobs. Also, billions paid to our treasury. A BIG WIN FOR U.S.” — tweet Monday.
THE FACTS: He’s exaggerating the recovery of the steel industry, particularly when it comes to jobs.
In December, the steel industry employed 141,600 people, the Labor Department says in its latest data. Last March, when Trump said he would impose the tariffs, it was 139,400. That’s a gain of just 2,200 jobs during a period when the overall economy added nearly 2 million jobs. On a percentage basis, steel industry jobs grew 1.6 percent, barely higher than the 1.3 percent increase in all jobs.
Yet those figures still lag behind where they were before the 2008-2009 recession. When that downturn began, there were nearly 162,000 steelworkers.
Some companies have said they will add or expand plants. It’s difficult to know just how many jobs will be added by newly planned mills. But construction spending on factories has yet to take off significantly after having been in decline between 2016 and much of 2018. Construction spending on factories has been flat in the past year, according to the Census Bureau.
Trump’s reference to “billions paid to our treasury” concerns money raised from tariffs on foreign steel and other products. Such tariffs are generally paid by U.S. importers, not foreign countries or companies, and the costs are often passed on to consumers. So that money going to the government is mostly coming from Americans.
———
VOTER FRAUD
TRUMP: “58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote. These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID!” — tweet Jan. 27.
THE FACTS: That “iceberg” quickly began to melt as officials found serious problems with a report from the Texas secretary of state’s office on voter fraud. More broadly, Trump is overstating the magnitude of such fraud across the U.S.
The Texas report suggested as many as 95,000 non-U.S. citizens may be on the state’s voter rolls and as many as 58,000 may have cast a ballot at least once since 1996. Since it came out, however, state elections officials have been notifying county election chiefs of problems with the findings. Local officials told The Associated Press that they received calls from Texas Secretary of State David Whitley’s office indicating that some citizens had been wrongly included in the original data.
So far no one on the lists has been confirmed as a noncitizen voter. Election officials in Texas’ largest county say about 18,000 voters in the Houston area were wrongfully flagged as potentially ineligible to vote and those officials expect more such mistakes to be found on their list.
Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Trump ally, acknowledged problems in the report, saying “many of these individuals may have been naturalized before registering and voting, which makes their conduct perfectly legal.”
Early claims by other states of possible illegal voting on a rampant scale haven’t held up.
When Florida began searching for noncitizens in 2012, for instance, state officials initially found 180,000 people suspected of being ineligible to vote when comparing databases of registered voters and driver’s licenses. Florida officials later assembled a purge list of more than 2,600 names but that, too, was beset by inaccuracies. Eventually, a revised list of 198 names of possible noncitizens was produced through the use of a federal database.
In the U.S. overall, the actual number of fraud cases has been very small, and the type that voter IDs are designed to prevent — voter impersonation at the ballot box — is almost nonexistent. In court cases that have invalidated some ID laws as having discriminatory effects, election officials could barely cite a case in which a person was charged with in-person voting fraud.

JUDGES
TRUMP: “After all that I have done for the Military, our great Veterans, Judges (99), Justices (2) … does anybody really think I won’t build the WALL?” — tweet Jan. 27.
THE FACTS: He’s boasting here about his record of getting federal judges and justices on the bench. But that record is not extraordinary. He also misstates the total number of judges who have been confirmed by the Senate — it’s 85, not 99.
While Trump did successfully nominate two justices to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, during his first two years in office, four other modern presidents did the same — Democrats Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy, and Republican Richard Nixon. Trump, meanwhile, is surpassed in the number of confirmed justices by Warren Harding (four), William Taft (five), Abraham Lincoln (three) and George Washington (six), according to Russell Wheeler, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution and expert on judicial appointments.
Trump’s 85 total judicial appointees lag behind five former presidents at comparable points in office.
The five are George W. Bush, 99; Clinton, 128; Ronald Reagan, 88; Nixon, 91; and Kennedy, 111, according to Wheeler’s analysis.
———
CLIMATE CHANGE
TRUMP: “In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!” — tweet Monday.
THE FACTS: Global warming does not need to make a comeback because it hasn’t gone away. Extreme cold spells in parts of the globe do not signal a retreat.
Earth is considerably warmer than it was 30 years ago and especially 100 years ago. The lower 48 states make up only 1.6 percent of the globe, so what’s happening there at any particular time is not a yardstick of the planet’s climate. Even so, despite the brutal cold in the Midwest and East, five Western states are warmer than normal.
“This is simply an extreme weather event and not representative of global scale temperature trends,” said Northern Illinois University climate scientist Victor Gensini. “The exact opposite is happening in Australia,” which has been broiling with triple-digit heat that is setting records.
Trump’s own administration released a scientific report last year saying that while human-caused climate change will reduce cold weather deaths “in 49 large cities in the United States, changes in extreme hot and extreme cold temperatures are projected to result in more than 9,000 additional premature deaths per year” by the end of this century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at recent rates.
Trump routinely conflates weather and climate. Weather is like mood, which is fleeting. Climate is like personality, which is long term.

Redfin: Average 2019 Homebuyer Spends 3 Fewer Days Searching, Tours 1 Less Home Than Last Year
This post was originally published on this site
SEATTLE, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — (NASDAQ: RDFN) — It took the typical homebuyer this winter 73 days to find and close on their new home after their first home tour, down from 76 days last year and from a peak of 84 days in winter 2016, according to a report by Redfin, (www.redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. Redfin’s analysis took into account home touring and offer activity among thousands of people who bought homes with Redfin agents nationwide in the three-month period ending in February over each of the past five years.
“This year, there are more homes for sale relative to the number of buyers, so a buyer is more likely to have their first offer accepted, while sellers are having to wait longer for their home to sell,” said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather. “It’s like a 1950s-era school dance with more boys than girls — the girls can quickly find a dancing partner, but more boys are waiting around with no one to dance with.”
Philadelphia (28 days faster), Houston (17 days) and Washington, D.C., (14 days) saw the biggest year-over-year drops in the number of days buyers spent on the market looking for a home.
At the other end of the spectrum, Miami (17 days longer) and New York (13 days) saw the biggest jumps in days buyers spent looking for homes. Most of the metro areas where buyers spent more time on the market this year than last year were on the East Coast, while buyers in cooling West Coast markets were able to find homes more quickly.

Buyers this year are also having to see fewer homes in person and write fewer offers before successfully landing a home. Nationally, buyers toured an average of about 10 homes this winter before closing on a home, and made an average of 1.6 offers, compared to touring about 11 homes and making 1.8 offers a year ago.
“The housing market isn’t as daunting for first-time homebuyers,” added Fairweather. “If you put in a fair offer, there is a good chance that offer will be accepted. Also, because mortgage interest rates are lower than they’ve been in over a year, homebuying is more affordable, especially in expensive places like San Francisco and San Jose where home prices have fallen.”
Homebuyers in Atlanta saw the biggest decrease in the number of homes toured before closing on their home. Buyers there toured an average of 12.2 homes in winter before finding a home, down from 18.8 homes a year earlier. Buyers in Phoenix also saw a big reduction, touring an average of 12.4 homes this winter compared to 16.3 last winter.

Even so, despite the brutal cold in the Midwest and East, five Western states are warmer than normal.
“This is simply an extreme weather event and not representative of global scale temperature trends,” said Northern Illinois University climate scientist Victor Gensini. “The exact opposite is happening in Australia,” which has been broiling with triple-digit heat that is setting records.
Trump’s own administration released a scientific report last year saying that while human-caused climate change will reduce cold weather deaths “in 49 large cities in the United States, changes in extreme hot and extreme cold temperatures are projected to result in more than 9,000 additional premature deaths per year” by the end of this century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at recent rates.
Trump routinely conflates weather and climate. Weather is like mood, which is fleeting. Climate is like personality, which is long term.

Syndication Ratings: Syndies Strong Even With Hurricane Florence
New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/syndication-ratings-syndies-strong-even-with-hurricane-florence/
Syndication Ratings: Syndies Strong Even With Hurricane Florence
Magazines especially sharp with Emmys coverage
Bolstered by numerous season premieres, the session ending Sept. 16 was a very strong one for syndication, even though the week included Hurricane Florence, which caused widespread preemptions and eviscerated viewing levels with evacuations, flooding and massive power failures in several markets.
In addition, there were also preemptions for coverage of the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Magazines were especially sharp with CBS Television Distribution’s Inside Edition rising 11% from the previous frame to a 3.1 live plus same day national Nielsen rating and landing slightly ahead of CTD sister show Entertainment Tonight, which climbed 7% to a 14-week high 2.9.

Warner Bros.’ TMZ added 8% to a 1.3. NBCUniversal’s Access raced ahead 9% to a 15-week high 1.2. Warner Bros.’ Extra spurted 10% to a 12-week high 1.1. CTD’s DailyMailTV surged 11% to a seven-week high 1.0. Twentieth’s Page Six TV held steady at a 0.7 despite high preemptions, and Trifecta’s Celebrity Page was unchanged at a 0.2.
In other ratings news for the category, comprehensive next-day reporting on the 70th Emmy Awards gave a boost to the entertainment magazines, all of which were even with or up over year-ago time period averages.
On Sept. 18, Entertainment Tonight recap coverage of the Emmy cast was the highest rated of all the magazines in the overnights with a 3.0 rating/6 share primary run metered market average and time period growth over last year of 25% in New York and 15% in Los Angeles.

Primary run metered market Emmy recap results for the other entertainment magazines included: Access with a 1.8/4 share and year-over-year time period gains of 29% in Los Angeles and 76% in Philadelphia; Extra with a 1.6 rating/4 share and increases of 35% in Philadelphia and 100% in Washington D.C.; Page Six TV with a 0.8 rating/2 share and spikes of 40% in Los Angeles and 60% in Chicago; and DailyMailTV with a 0.7 rating/2 share and improvement of 20% in New York and 75% in Washington D.C.
On the rookie front, panel talker CTD’s Face the Truth, the first of the nationally cleared first-run newcomers to debut this season, premiered at a 0.8, that equaled the third-highest opening week among all first-run strips that have premiered in the past three years. Debmar-Mercury’s new courtroom entry, Caught in Providence, the season’s only other fully cleared first-run strip, got out of the gate on Sept. 24 with a preliminary 0.3 rating/1 share weighted metered market average for all telecasts, down 40% from its year-ago time periods.

Turning to the veterans, CTD’s Dr. Phil began operating on season 17 with a 4% advance to a 2.8 and extended its streak of first-place finishes in talk to 106 weeks with two ties. Among women 25-54, Phil was again first in talk with a 1.2 in the key demo. Back in households, Disney-ABC’s Live With Kelly and Ryan snared second place with a steady 2.1. Following Live, Warner Bros.’ Ellen DeGeneres danced to an 11% gain, landing at a 2.0.
NBCU’s Maury recovered 8% to a 1.3. NBCU’s and Steve Harvey’s Steve swelled 20% among women 25-54 to a 0.6 demo rating and 9% to a nine-week high 1.2 in households to tie Debmar-Mercury’s Wendy Williams, which returned to original episodes with a 50% leap to a 1.2.
Further back, NBCU’s conflict talker Steve Wilkos picked up 10% to a 1.1. CTD’s Rachael Ray was flat at a 1.0 and landed in a tie with Sony Pictures Television’s Dr. Oz, which rebounded 25% from a series low the week before to a 1.0.

Warner Bros.’ The Real rallied 20% to a 0.6. CTD’s The Doctors deteriorated 29% to a 0.5. NBCU’s out-of-production Jerry Springer sank 56% to a new series low 0.4, and for the 12th week in a row ratings for Disney-ABC’s Pickler & Ben were reprocessed and not available.
Elsewhere in daytime, CTD’s Judge Judy began hearing cases in its 23rd season and continued to show its competition no mercy with an 11% jump to a 16-week high 6.9. That easily topped all first-run and off-net programs for the seventh straight week.
Judy’s CTD creation Hot Bench kicked off season 5 with a 5% gain to a four-week high 2.1. Warner Bros.’ People’s Court, Warner Bros.’ Judge Mathis, and Twentieth’s Divorce Court were unchanged at 1.4, 1.0, and 0.8, respectively. While Trifecta’s Judge Faith fell 20% to a new series low 0.4.
Related: Slow Syndie Season Yields Just Two New Series
On the game show playing field, leader Debmar-Mercury’s Family Feud held steady at a 6.0. CTD’s Wheel of Fortune accelerated 8% to a 5.7, tying CTD’s Jeopardy!, which answered with a 12% gain to a 5.7.
Disney-ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire appreciated 14% to a 1.6 and Entertainment Studios’ Funny You Should Ask was flat at a 0.5.
Meanwhile, Disney-ABC’s viral video show RightThisMinute, stayed at a 1.3 and NBCU’s off-net true-crime strip Dateline rose 9% to a four-week high 1.2, which was 300% ahead of the off-Investigation Discovery True Crime Files, which debuted at a 0.3.
Among off-net sitcoms, Warner Bros.’ leader Big Bang Theory inched up 2% to a 4.3. Twentieth’s Last Man Standing was on par with the prior week’s 2.0. Twentieth’s Modern Family and SPT’s The Goldbergs were unchanged at 1.9 and 1.4, respectively. Warner Bros.’ Two and a Half Men retreated 7% to a 1.3. Twentieth’s Family Guy eased 8% to a 1.2, tying Warner Bros.’ Mike & Molly, which maintained its 1.2. Warner Bros.’ 2 Broke Girls and SPT’s Seinfeld both stayed at a 1.0. While Warner Bros.’ Mom remained at a 0.9 for the 10th straight week.
