Illumination is provided by a simple bulb in each light housing, but these small bulbs throw off a surprising amount of light when you’re driving in reverse, which is not only critical for you, the driver, but also for pedestrians and other drivers who might be in proximity to your car. That is why the lights’ coverings are red, instead of clear....

For the powerful and heavy centers and forwards: Force. And for all those players in between, Uptempo. History of Nike Basketball For a little background on all three lines, it’s worth noting that the Uptempo line—created for players that didn’t quite fit into the mold of a guard or power player—didn’t exist from the beginning of Nike Basketball’s distinction of sneaker styles....

Nevertheless, Asia Miles does partner with multiple transferable points currencies, and just recently sweetened the deal if you’re looking to fly from the US to Hong Kong before the end of the year....

Also, why are the Volkswagen TDIs (turbodiesels) getting 42 mpg highway now, when my 2002 TDI Beetle got 48 to 49 on the highway?...

If you asked me to rank my 10 favorite places in the world, Zermatt would definitely make the cut — it might even land a spot in the Top 5.An alpine town in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, Zermatt is a rare gem among tourist hot spots, offering high-end resort amenities without compromising its local, historic charm. In many ways, I hope to never see that change.There is one small area where the town could benefit from a modest adjustment, though — Zermatt remains largely inaccessible to travelers hoping to redeem hotel points to book a stay, which is why I was especially excited to learn about Marriott’s plan to open a hotel....
01 of 08 The early days of discus throwing China Photos/Getty Images Discus throwing dates back to the ancient Greek Olympic Games, as depicted in this Fifth Century B.C. statue from the British Museum, “Discobolus,” by the sculptor Myron.
