With airlines charging hefty fees for overweight bags, the small difference between a 49-pound suitcase and a 51-pound one could add up to a big hit on your wallet. (Delta, for instance, charges $90 each way to check a bag weighing 51 to 70 pounds.)

Net income is total income minus direct taxes (income tax, national insurance and council tax), and includes the value of any social security benefits received.

Back then we hid our Lidl shopping in Sainsbury’s bags to avoid the neighbours’ judgmental looks but now we wave our bags with pride. We are savvy shoppers. And [...]

He certainly popularized the approach and it has come to be large part of his legacy as other magazines shifted to the numerical system. In “The Emperor of Wine, ” Elin McCoy writes that Parker and his friend Victor Morgenroth tried various systems of rating and evaluating wines in their (blind) tasting group in the mid-seventies [...]

A digital scale is a game changer in the kitchen. A scale is critical for baking recipes, where measuring dry ingredients by weight is the only way to guarantee accuracy. We’ve proven this in tests where we’ve repeatedly measured a cup of flour by volume, using a “dip and sweep” method, and found that there can be up to a 20 percent difference in the weight—a variance that can mean the difference between a cake that’s squat and dense and one that’s [...]

Because many people normally eat servings that are much larger than recommended amounts.
