Sleep through the night on an Eve mattress

Eve Mattress
As you probably know, we spend most of our lives in bed.

Are you wondering just how much? The answer is about ⅓. That’s right, if we live to be 75, we’ll probably have spent about 25 years of it sleeping in bed. We also all know that quality sleep is key to your health. We can’t tell you how many nights we’ve spent in bed, tossing and turning, counting sheep, our minds racing, doing just about everything we can think of to fall asleep. The mattress you sleep on makes a huge difference. Like Goldilocks, we want one that’s not too soft, or too hard, but one that’s just right.

The folks over at Eve know all about the notion of just right, and we’re not just talking about the mattress itself. The price is also just right. That’s because they sell to consumers directly from the factory. Since they only sell online, they avoid the additional costs that retailers pass on to the customers. They can use luxury materials, but still keep the prices down. What’s great about Eve mattresses is that they contour with the shape of your body. It’s not so soft that your sink down, and it’s not so hard that it feels like you’re lying down on a stiff board. It’s just right. They layer breathable memory foam and a unique comfort layer to keep the body cool, perfectly aligned, and so comfortable that you’ll fall asleep in a pinch!

We tested out the Eve mattress, and it’s everything we hoped it would be and more. Insomnia occurs regularly in our world, and this mattress made all the difference. Sleep came in an instant and we slept through the night. The mattress was so comfortable that we didn’t wake up once. Every night that we slept on it was just like that. No tossing and turning, no waking up in the middle of the night, just comfortable, restful sleep. Our days were more productive, our bodies didn’t ache, and basically, life was good. If you’re in the market for a new, quality mattress that won’t break the bank, go for Eve. It will do you wonders.

This is how the Titanic’s engine worked before an iceberg sunk the ship
The Titanic's engine was a pretty marvelous innovation

The Olympic-class ocean liners were some of the largest and most luxurious passenger ships of their time. The Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic were built by Harland & Wolff for White Star Liners during the first half of the 1910s. While the sister ships stood apart because of their immense size and lavish accommodations, they all had powerful steam engines. Since the Titanic is the most famous of the ships because it sank (not to mention the James Cameron movie), we’ll cover how its engine worked before it sunk.
And if you're a visual person? One helpful Redditor recently posted the video below to the subreddit r/educationalgifs. It's part of a longer look at the Titanic from Jared Owen, who has got some pretty incredible 3D animations.

 
Instead of choosing to go with a turbine engine, which was found on the Titanic’s main rival, the Cunard, Harland & Wolff decided to stick with two triple-expansion steam engines. The triple-expansion steam engines run on steam (duh) from the burning of coal in the ship’s boilers. Once the steam is made, it has a maze to run through before turning into power to move the ship.
Once the steam exits the boilers, it travels through steam lines toward the triple-expansion steam engines. The steam enters the first cylinder that’s called the high-pressure cylinder at 215 PSI to act on both sides of the piston to push it up and press it down. Once it’s done at the first cylinder, it moves on to the intermediate cylinder at a reduced pressure of 78 PSI to, once again, move the piston up and down. Then, the steam is routed to two low-pressure cylinders at 24 PSI to, you guessed it, move the pistons up and down.
After moving pistons up and down and dropping pressure throughout the trip, the steam exits the low-pressure cylinders at 9 PSI toward one of two nearly 24-foot diameter propellors. Exhaust steam escaping from the triple-expansion engines also powers a Parsons’ turbine to drive a central 16.5-foot diameter central propeller. The propellers caused the Titanic to move.
It’s incredibly advanced tech, and this is just a general overview of what’s happening. If you’re a numbers type of person, the triple-expansion steam engines were good for 15,000 horsepower each when operating at 75 revs per minute. The Titanic’s entire powerplant was rated at roughly 59,000 horsepower, allowing the 52,000-ton ship to travel at up to 23 knots.
While making that kind of power from steam is impressive, the way the Titanic ensured zero waste was just as skillful. Once the steam exits the Parsons’ turbine, it enters a condenser at 1 PSI. Cold seawater is brought into the condenser to cool down the steam, which allows it to go from a gas to a liquid to be sent back to the boilers to be used as feed water for another journey through the entire process.
The Titanic may be known for sinking, but getting a boat of its size moving on the water with steam was an accomplishment. Quite frankly, the rest of the ship was just as impressive, and well worth a look at the full video from Jared Owen.

Sad but true: Those earning over $150k/year are working more to stay out of debt
More and more Americans are going into debt

As U.S. inflation continues to rear its head, so does its effect on people. A new report shows just how striking the impact has been on Americans’ wallets and work-life balance.

The four-day workweek may be a trending concept. However, a new survey of more than 1,500 people by financial content hub Finmasters found that nearly one-third (30%) of people who are making more than $150,000 per year were logging more hours at work. Why? They were afraid of going into even more debt.

This is the only time you should pay an annual fee for a credit card
You love what a credit card offers. Should you sign up if it has an annual fee?

You — hopefully — know you have to pay your credit card once per month. Email and SMS alerts can remind you to fork over at least the minimum.

However, some cards charge an annual fee. If you look closely at your statement, you’ll see it shows up as a line item once per year. It typically happens in the same month.
