HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2018/PR Newswire/ — Eureka Midstream, LLC (Eureka Midstream) announced today that natural gas throughput on its gathering systems in the heart of the Marcellus and Utica shale plays has increased in excess of 1.5 Bcf/d.
Chris Akers, President of Eureka Midstream commented, “Increased demand for natural gas transportation along our Marcellus and Utica footprint continues to drive record throughput volumes for Eureka Midstream. In the past twelve months, we’ve seen throughput volumes increase 72%, from approximately 870,000 Mcf/d to a level above 1.5 Bcf/d. This demonstrates the commitment of our producer customers to drill in the Eureka Midstream footprint, which encompasses core areas of the Marcellus and Utica in Ohio and West Virginia. The Eureka Midstream footprint consists of some of the lowest cost natural gas and natural gas NGL production economics in the world.
Eureka Midstream also announced two new interconnects that tie into the high-demand Rover and Leach XPress interstate transmission pipelines located in Monroe County, Ohio. These two new interconnects add 700,000 Mcf/d of additional delivery point capacity into the key takeaway markets for Eureka Midstream customers.”
Deliveries of natural gas into TransCanada’s Leach XPress pipeline through a new delivery point interconnect started in January 2018. The Leach XPress pipeline transports gas to distribution markets serving consumers in the U.S. Midwest and in the Gulf Coast, creating the potential for better netback pricing for our customers.
Eureka Midstream also commenced deliveries of natural gas into Energy Transfer’s Rover pipeline. Rover carries natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica to markets across the United States, as well as Canada. The Eureka Midstream delivery interconnect design capacity into Rover is 350,000 MMBTU/d.
In addition, Eureka Midstream constructed and placed in service a 1 Bcf/d receipt interconnect and connector pipeline with Ohio River System (ORS), providing takeaway for natural gas from the ORS facilities via the Eureka Midstream system.
Akers continued, “In total, Eureka Midstream now has 15 receipt and delivery interconnects designed to provide our customers with increased pricing power and downstream optionality. Eureka Midstream can deliver natural gas to all major markets nationwide. Completion of these interconnects was a key business strategy of connecting the supply of the Appalachian Basin with the markets our customers demand. As always, one of our core values is relentless focus on providing the highest quality service to our customers, and we believe that providing them the highest degree of market optionality provides them with a competitive advantage.”
Eureka Midstream will be attending the SHALE INSIGHT™ 2018 conference in Pittsburgh on October 23-25th. Individuals who would like to meet with Eureka Midstream should email Charlene Dickerson, Marketing & Communications Manager at [email protected].

entrepreneurship in constructing infrastructure and attracting
investment has been diffused from more developed to less developed
regions. We argue that this geographically diffused phenomenon is part
of a larger attempt by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to facilitate
advancement of less developed regions. The CCP has used a unique and centralized personnel management system to shift knowledge and resources in the interest of local economic development through betweenregion pairing assistance and inter-regional cadre transfer. This diffusion has mixed results: it accelerates infrastructure construction, investment and economic growth in less developed areas, but at the expense of increased social exclusion and environmental pollution.

This city of hot humid climate and heavy rains during the summer, finds its name in the Nahuatl Xallapan and means "Sand Spring".
The city is known for being a promoter of culture and this is largely due to the presence of the Universidad Veracruzana, so it is common to see the squares and streets flooded with student life that give a fresh air and fill the center with energy. .
The city is surrounded by rivers, springs and streams, a natural lake and some artificial ones, as well as a green area reserved for recreation, known as Cerro Macuiltépetl, where oak, eucalyptus, jacaranda and even avocado trees abound.
So feeling surrounded by nature and having beautiful landscapes will be a constant during your tour of Xalapa, without a doubt, it is an excellent reason to do so.
In all these spaces is the second largest collection in the world of art prehispanic Mesoamerica around 2,500 pieces, fundamentally from the cultures Olmec , totonac Y Huasteca , among other peoples of the Gulf of Mexico , as well as an extensive exhibition on the ethnography of the current indigenous peoples of the State of Veracruz .
The emblematic Xalapeño Stadium was built by Engineer Modesto Rolland, a revolutionary thinker of his time who erected the “Heriberto Jara Corona” Xalapeño Stadium in 1925, with a low budget from the State Government. Its construction was carried out in record time: 2 months and 16 days, and 94 years later its structure is still intact; time does not pass by this state banner that has witnessed innumerable sporting, political and social events of Veracruzana Athens.
It was built in a natural swamp where some sporting events and concentrations that the Xalapa society had in the 1920s were already held; its innovative architecture surprised Latin America, but above all the way it was built with a cantilevered roof of more than 3 thousand square meters.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, is the seat of the Archdiocese of Xalapa, and one of the oldest buildings in the city, it is located on the corner of Enríquez and Revolución streets in the historic center of Xalapa . It has undergone numerous modifications, resulting in the current appearance of the building.
The parish church of the city, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa, which was consecrated to the Immaculate Conception, religious patron of Xalapa, began to be built in 1641, in wood, but it collapsed.
The current cathedral was built around the year 1641, resulting in a temple of simple proportions; Modifications were made to the building until the 18th century, which gave it its first baroque appearance. You can still see some details in some parts of the building, such as the bell tower (the only one that this temple has had) or the dome. one of the chapels has Solomonic style columns.
Walk of the Lakes
This set of three lakes is surrounded by gardens and walking paths in a wooded area. It is located in the Dique neighborhood, just 10 minutes from downtown Xalapa. It was formerly a dam that belonged to a textile company.
The place is frequented by families, groups of friends and people who come as a couple or alone to exercise. But you will also see other travelers who take the opportunity to explore it and spend an afternoon at ease.
During the week you will see a calmer atmosphere, since most of the visitors are runners or young people who take the opportunity to walk while they enjoy an ice cream, buy a snack or sit on their benches to talk about their day to day.
Weekends are when families decide to visit, so you'll see bikes, workshops and shows designed for children.
But if you come with teenagers, don't worry, there are also other options like ziplining and boat rentals, so there's no way someone won't have fun.
Former Hacienda of Santa Anna
Founded by Juan Lencero, a soldier of Hernán Cortés, to serve as an inn on the way from Veracruz to Mexico City, it is a magnificent hacienda now a museum, a true romantic evocation that summarizes almost five centuries of history of Xalapa and Mexico. In 1842 it was acquired by General Antonio López de Santa Ana, and in 1875 it was one of the most important sugar estates in the region. The construction stands on a natural terrace from which an extensive landscape is dominated. The main house houses the museum that wonderfully preserves furniture, ceramics, musical instruments, weapons and carriages. It has a colonial chapel, an artificial lake and huge gardens in which its monumental fig tree stands out.
Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanical Garden
This garden and sanctuary is located just 15 minutes from the city of Xalapa and on tropical mountain lands where the smell of coffee is felt.
In it you will find an extensive collection of plants and vegetation, made up of regional specimens and others brought from other parts of the world. You will also see the National of Cycads, which refers to the oldest plants in Mexico and another ethnobotanical collection, which has more uses than you could imagine.
On the other hand, the Fog Forest Sanctuary is an area where you will find plants from the northern to the southern hemisphere, which live in an extraordinary coexistence that you will hardly see anywhere else. It should be added that this ecosystem currently represents a small part of the national territory as a result of overexploitation, so we assure you, you will not regret knowing. | geography |

If you do plan to venture out of the resort, there are a ton of things to do in Cancun beyond the sedentary beach life.
From archaeological sites to hidden pools, Cancun has a lot more to offer. Let’s look at the best things to do in Cancun right now.
Explore the Cenotes
Cenotes (“sinkholes”) are natural underground pools in a dark cave. These cenotes are very common in the state of Yucatan near Cancun.
The water is filtered naturally and you will notice the stunningly clear water with tiny fishes swimming everywhere.
You can’t leave Cancun without visiting a cenote. There are over 6000 cenotes near Cancun: if you’re short on time, try to add a cenote or two during your day trips. Most cenote tours on Viator will include hotel pick-up and drop-offs.
Explore the Underwater Museum
What’s better than visiting a museum? How about visiting a museum with over 500 underwater sculptures! MUSA, Museo Subacuático de Arte, is a museum devoted to conserve and protect the coral reefs. It also happens to be a popular tourist destination since its inception in 2010.
To see the underwater museum, beginners should opt for snorkeling or book a glass-bottom boat tour. If you’re an experienced scuba diver, you can see the sculptures up close and personal.
Museo Subacuático de Arte. Cerrada Las Golondrinas 24, Alfredo Bonfil, 77560 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets
Playa Delfines and El Rey
Playa Delfines (Dolphin Beach) is a free public beach in the Hotel Zone that is worth the visit because it is left undeveloped and kept most of its natural look. There are no hotels, restaurants, or buildings on this beach – only a few palapas and chairs.
If you’re not staying at a beach resort, this is the beach you want to visit for a peaceful and relaxing day in the sun. You’ll also find the colorful “Cancun” sign at the beach – perfect backdrop for your vacation photo.
After the beach, head over to the nearby archaeological zone called El Rey. It is made up of 47 structures built by the Mayans somewhere between 250-600 AD.
Playa Delfines. Kukulkan, Zona Hotelera, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico
El Rey Archaeological Zone. Hotel Zone, 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Visit Xcaret’s Theme Park
Built in the same area as the Xcaret archaeological site, the Xcaret Park is a theme park surrounded by jungle and natural pools. This is not your average theme park with roller coasters!
Since it is located a few minutes away from Playa del Carmen, we highly recommend you visit Xcaret at the same time.
If you purchase your ticket online here, you will be given free transportation to Xcaret from Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Riviera Maya.
Xcaret Park. Carretera Chetúmal-Puerto Juárez Kilómetro 282, Solidaridad, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets
Zipline through the Jungle
The same people that built the Xcaret Park also offers Xplor zip-lines: the tallest zip-lines in Cancun at 45 meters (49 yards) high.
With 7 different zip-lines, this is not for the faint of heart. Xplor also has amphibious vehicles (works on land and water), rafts, and cenotes.
This is the perfect time to make use of your action camera. If you don’t already have an action camera like the reliable GoPro HERO, buy the YI 4K Action Camera for a cheaper – yet powerful – alternative on Amazon.
Xplor Park. Carretera Cancún -Tulum Km 282 Puerto Juarez, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets
Explore Cancun’s Hotel Zone
The Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) is known for its nightlife and parties. Don’t miss out on Coco Bongo! It’s a mix of a nightclub and a show at the same time. Drinks are unlimited if you purchase your tickets online here.
For shopping, head over to La Isla – it’s an indoor-outdoor shopping village with shops, restaurants, aquarium, theater, and a Ferris wheel.
For luxury brands, the Fashion Harbour and Luxury Avenue Mall have many upscale brands along with Mexican luxury brands. Don’t forget to take advantage of the tax refund when shopping in Cancun.
Getting around Cancun’s Hotel Zone (Zona Hotelera) is extremely easy with the public bus and costs around $1 USD per trip.
Thousands of years ago, the Mayan people built the jaw-dropping El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcan) – a large pyramid located in the ancient city of Chichen Itza.
Located about 2 hours from Cancun, it’s a great day trip to take a break from the beach life. There was a time where you were allowed to climb the pyramid but that’s no longer the case.
Chichen Itza is widely considered as one of the 7 Wonders of the World and is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico. Unfortunately, that means it gets very crowded with tourists.
If you plan to book a tour, try booking a tour that arrives early to avoid the busiest times of the day.
Chichen Itza. Yucatan, Mexico – Tickets and tours
Cancun is home to some of the best snorkeling spots in the World whereas you can see everything from turtles to whale sharks to stingrays. Here are the best spots for snorkeling within 30 minutes from Cancun.
- MUSA: The Underwater Museum should be at the top of your list
- Punta Nizuc: Conveniently located at the south tip of Cancun’s Hotel Zone
- Puerto Morelos: About 30 minutes south from Cancun
- Isla Mujeres: A snorkeling paradise that is only a short boat ride away
Visit Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres is an island located only 13 kilometers (8 miles) off the coast from Cancun. The Playa Norte (North Beach) is a great spot to either relax or to snorkel. There’s also a good number of all-inclusive resorts on Isla Mujeres if you haven’t booked a hotel yet.
Head over to the Tortugranja (Turtle Farm) to see different species of turtles and learn how this sanctuary is doing their best to protect endangered marine turtles.
Day Trip to Tulum
Tulum is a unique resort town built on the ruins of an ancient Mayan city overlooking the Carribean coast.
Once a quiet town, Tulum is now one of the most visited archaeological in Mexico after Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan near Mexico City.
Located only about 2 hours away from Cancun, you can visit both the Tulum Ruins and the nearby stunning beaches together during the same day.
If you have extra time, consider spending a few nights at one of the various boutique hotels in Tulum.
What about Downtown Cancun?
Located only a few minutes away from Cancun’s Hotel Zone, El Centro (Downtown Cancun) provides an authentic taste of Mexican culture as opposed to the Hotel Zone.
El Centro is where many of the locals live so you will be able to find small shops, tons of street food, and local bars.
- Head over to the Mercado 28 for the largest market in Cancun – this is a good place to buy souvenirs and taste some street food.
- Parque Las Palapas is the main park where you can also find food carts, local handicrafts, and other goodies.
- The wide boulevard Avenida Tulum is the heart of Downtown Cancun.
But is it safe? If you do a search online, you’ll find polarizing answers to the level of safety in Downtown Cancun.
Some reviewers will rave about Downtown Cancun and prefer it over the Hotel Zone. Others swear that it is dirty, dangerous, and totally a waste of time.
Like most polarizing questions, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. If you’re not the adventurous type – maybe it’s best to stay in the Hotel Zone.
If you’re a travel veteran and know how to stay a low-profile, El Centro is a hidden gem not overrun by tourists and is an immersive way to experience the local life.
Other things to do
- Visit the island of Cozumel
- Celebrating something special? Try a fine-dining experience at Tempo by Michelin star Spanish chef Martin Berasategui
- Eat and drink all day at an all-inclusive resort – why not?
Most tourists will come to Cancun for its all-inclusive resorts and there’s nothing wrong with that!
However, we do suggest adding at least one excursion – chances are it will be the most memorable part of your trip to Cancun!
Did we miss anything? What do you think are the best things to do in Cancun?

I am a certified rock climbing instructor under the climbing federation of Quebec (FQME). I am based in Montreal and have been guiding rock climbing trips for the past 5 years.
I am passionate about rock climbing outdoors and fell in love with rock climbing during my travels. I spent the last 10 years travelling the world, combining my love for climbing, adventure, travel, and the outdoors. For the past 6 years I have accumulated experience climbing on various types of rock, learning different skills and climbing techniques that I now share with my students and clients.
In 2016, I created Climbing Escapes after noticing the lack of accessibility of rock climbing outdoors for beginners in Quebec. I want to empower people, no matter their background and experience, to try rock climbing in a safe and fun environment.
Climbing Escapes is for anyone who wants to get out of their comfort zone, learn rock climbing skills and techniques, in a safe environment, no matter their experience, their strength or their fear of heights.

Throughout the Greater San Antonio area, the Foundation provides seed funding and support for initiatives demonstrating the greatest potential to improve the lives of local children and families, schools, and the overall community.
Recognizing the importance of early development of children, the Foundation supported the establishment of Early Matters, a community-driven organization created to “catalyze the power of people, partnerships, and investments to make San Antonio the best place in the country for children and families.”
Collaboration is a core value of the Charles Butt Foundation and represents an essential building block in marshalling all stakeholders to ensure our youngest San Antonians have a strong start. As a part of ensuring a strong start for children, the Foundation is supporting the establishment of the first Educare Center in Texas in the southern sector of San Antonio. Educare provides a model of research-based, high-quality childcare from birth to age 5.
Expanding into PK-12 education in San Antonio, the Foundation is a proud lead supporter of CAST Schools, a growing network of innovative schools designed in partnership with local public school districts, industry partners, and community leaders to provide students with authentic experiences in high potential career pathways.
To foster real-world learning across the region, the Foundation supports SA Works, which provides job shadowing and internship experiences for high school and college students throughout San Antonio.
Since post-secondary education and training is essential for employment in today’s economy, the Foundation supports both Alamo Promise, which provides two-year, tuition-free certification or an associate’s degree at any of the Alamo Colleges, and the National Post-Secondary Strategy Institute national network, focused on increasing college and career outcomes for low-income and minority students throughout the region.
Building on the value of research and data-informed problem-solving in education, two of the organizations and initiatives that the Charles Butt Foundation supports augment San Antonio’s capacity to learn together and to assemble essential data for more informed decision-making. The UP Partnership is a local nonprofit committed to using data and aligning resources to create equitable systems and ensure all young people in Bexar County are ready for the future. The San Antonio Education Forums, presented by the SA Report, annually bring together educators with civic, business, and non-profit leaders to address Bexar County’s most pressing PK-12 public education challenges and opportunities. Each of these organizations foster deep collaboration across sectors in San Antonio to improve the educational outcomes of the region’s children.
With the onset of the pandemic, technology and access to the internet became essential for students and for families. Over the years, the San Antonio region has struggled with digital access, so a team of community leaders, with initial support from the Charles Butt Foundation, created a public-private-community collaboration called SA Digital Connects. The collaborative developed the San Antonio and Bexar County Digital Equity Plan, which is advocating with city and county officials to designate local, state, and federal funding for initiatives to close the digital divide, and will track and report progress in un/under-served areas disproportionally impacting some of San Antonio’s most vulnerable families and individuals, including PK-12 students. | geography |

We offer you the chance to experience this from all the resorts in the Three Valleys; Courchevel, Meribel, La Tania, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. You will get the opportunity to soar across the mountains seeing them as you’ve never seen them. You will then be dropped in your very own remote section of the Alps and ski what will feel like endless powder. After a full day of drops with your Heli Guide you will be ferried back to your chalet to relax and relive the days events. Operating from the Three Valleys allows us to tailor your Heli Skiing experience to best suit your needs
Heli-Skiing has become more popular over the last few decades with more and more skiers opting for this the ultimate skiing experience. With our Heli-Ski partners we can now offer you the chance to experience this in the Three Valleys from Courchevel or Meribel. You will get the opportunity to soar across the alps before being dropped in your very own remote section of the Alps and ski what will feel like endless powder. After a full day of drops with your ski instructor and guide you will be ferried back to your chalet to relax and relive the days events.
Your day will start in the Three Valleys with a short transfer to the Helicopter base, there you will meet your UAIGM guide who will give you a safety briefing and any equipment you require. All the guides used are native English speakers, this is key to keeping these days as relaxed and safe as possible. Your guide will have assessed the snow conditions and from there the decision will be made as to where we do our first drop!
You will ski into Italy, the drops and pick-ups will all happen there. The powder will be untracked and the views amazing. We plan for runs up to 2000m in vertical descent although weather and snow conditions may shorten these.
If a full day of Heli-Skiing is not for you why not try out one of our return transfer Heli-Ski days. Here you will spend the day in the furthest reaches of the Three Valleys skiing around the Cimes De Carron and Les Orrelle areas. These areas are great and hold some of the best off-piste in the Three Valleys. Your ski instructor will take you to areas few get to experience with brilliant views over the Maurienne valley. Normally there is a mad rush to return to Meribel or Courchevel. On our return transfer trip you get to spend all day in this off-piste mecca skiing down to Val Thorens Heli-Port as the lifts close for a short 5-minute transfer back to your resort. If the Maurienne valley holds your attention, we can arrange pick up there too.
On all our heli-skiing products your ski instructor will be on hand to ensure that you get the best experience and the most from your day.
Combining helicopters and skiing is the ultimate ski experience giving you memories that will last a lifetime and bragging rights that will make even your most die-hard ski friends jealous.

If you have not used one yet, it is high time to reconsider installing a GPS bike mount for easy viewing. Tracking your speed and distance travelled as well as the route, speed, elevation and other data will help a great deal in your performance.
Data from GPS can be automatically summarized helping you track your progress and do necessary improvements as a cyclist. Some GPS may even have cadence sensors as well as monitors for heart rate and pedal power as you ride. But all these cannot be made possible without a GPS mount on your bike.
Without further ado, here are the top 3 most recommended GPS bike mounts in the market today. Here’s a detailed look on each of the GPS bike mounts mentioned in the chart.
1. Garmin 0101165407 Handlebar Mount for Montana/Monterra
The first one comes from powerhouse Garmin, the makers of quality GPS navigation, communication, and sonar products. If you are using a Montana or a Monterra, this easy snap-on GPS bike mount is a must-have. You can snap the device in place in either portrait or landscape orientation just right into the handlebar mount to start working on your biking cadence.
The Garmin 0101165407 Handlebar Mount can attach to any standard bicycle handlebar. Built with rubber cushion, it provides shockproof protection to the GPS wherever you wish to ride. The Mount works for both motorcycle and bicycle handle bars. No wonder reviews and feedback from actual users have mentioned about the handlebar mount as a wise buy. To get your own, check out special price from Amazon.
Yet, another handlebar mount from Garmin..
2. GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series)
This GPS bike mount does not come any less than the first one. Coming from the same maker of quality handlebar mount for GPS Maps, the GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount also features easy snap-on system that’s so easy to install. It can be mounted on a 1-inch diameter bar either in front of at the sides of a motorcycle, bike or ATV.
GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount reviews have touted it as a solid and the most flexible handlebar mount—and at a great price, too.
For that extra security..
3. ChargerCity Universal Motorcycle / Bike Mount with Water Resistant Case
Another powerhouse brand in handlebar mounts, ChargerCity, brings you the most secured GPS bike mount for your Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, and other portable GPS brands in the market. Made with shockproof features compatible for straight, trekking, drop and touring size handlebars, it provides a concrete foam-filled hold on your GPS device regardless of your terrain and movement.
What makes the unique is its water-resistant universal case with see-through zippered feature that protects your GPS device from all types of weather while ensuring ease of use.
Built for bikes, motorbikes, ATVs, golf carts, snowmobiles, hang gliders and other vehicle with cylinder-shaped frame or bar, the ChargerCity Universal Motorcycle / Bike Mount have been earning rave reviews from the sporting communities across the globe.
With most biking activities now becoming highly reliant on GPS as performance trackers or monitors, investing in a GPS bike mount is a no-brainer. There are plenty of reasons to invest in any of these featured handlebar mount from Garmin and ChargerCity particularly when you want to improve your performance level and fitness advantage.
To ensure buying authentic while being within your budget threshold, head off to Amazon to enjoy discounts and shipping perks. | geography |

The mill, located on the banks of the Ganaraska River, was the site of
O.C.A.'s summer school from 1923 until 1941.
Here is the mill as it appears today. Molson's Mill is now owned and beautifully maintained by the Benson family of Port Hope. It is used by Christine Benson and Mike Woods of Journey Through the Arts for a children's summer arts daycamp. Lucky kids!
Historic Canadian artist and O.C.A. professor J.W. Beatty (1869-1941) was the founder and principal of the Ontario College of Art Summer School in Port Hope.
Walking trails along Lake Ontario in the Port Hope area look much the same today as nearly a century ago:
Port Hope and the City of Toronto have strong historic ties. Then as now, the village and the metropolis may feel worlds apart, but are separated only by a short and leisurely train ride (or these days, if you prefer to drive, a one hour eastbound commute on Highway 401)
J.W. Beatty's summer school students described their time in Port Hope as restorative, formative and inspirational. One of the goals of Critical Mass is to see ties with the urban arts community restored, for the mutual benefit of artists and art supporters in downtown Toronto and in Northumberland County alike.

Recently, my husband treated me to a weekend at The Homestead 1766 resort in Hot Springs, Virginia. While there, we both discovered the mineral spring waters, minutes from the resort, that Thomas Jefferson used as therapy for his rheumatoid arthritis. While soaking in the legendary mineral spring waters, we could understand why Jefferson pronounced them to be "the very best". There, we experienced complete relaxation of mind and body as we restored our spirit in the natural mineral spring waters of the legendary Jefferson Pools.
The magnificent, naturally warm mineral springs are located just five miles down the road (Rt. 220/Sam Snead Highway) from The Homestead 1766 resort, now owned and operated by The Omni Hotels. The Pools were originally developed as a spa resort in the mid 1750's. On June 1, 1761, an octagonal wooden building was opened to the public. To my surprise, the experience intentionally remains very much as it was back then. When you first see it, the first thought that comes to mind is, "Is this old building actually the spa?" Looking beyond the 18th century appearance, and after "taking the waters" inside, its authenticity was actually very charming. I couldn't help but imagine sitting across from Thomas Jefferson himself.
Once opened, Warm Springs expanded rapidly as a spa resort. Hotels, dining rooms and kitchens, taverns, livery stables and blacksmith shops, as well as a church, laundry and related buildings were built to accommodate the growing number of guests. On August 13, 1818, at the age 75, Thomas Jefferson was one of those travelers, who arrived at The Homestead to "take the waters" for his rheumatism. 196 years later, to the day, my husband and I would be visiting the same pool that my favorite founding father visited. You cannot imagine how I felt once realizing the coincidence in dates! Jefferson stayed at The Homestead for over three weeks, "taking the waters" down the road several times each day. Each day, my husband and I enjoyed breakfast and dinner in The Homestead's Jefferson Grill, as well as visited the legendary Jefferson Pools. Our trip will be one of my fondest birthday memories!
The historic natural spring pools are named in honor of their most illustrious patron...they are The Homestead's Jefferson Pools! If you would like to experience The Homestead 1766 resort for yourself, call 1-800-838-1766 for reservations, or visit www.theHomestead.com. | geography |

When Chris Atherton first asked me to join the session on Satellite Based research and Geo-science at the EaPEC19, my initial response was that I have nothing to do with Space. Earth Observation technologies were as distant and removed from my worldview as the satellites and the space themselves.
However, I was curious, and my mind was triggered to find out and understand if there is any value in it for me.
My research into the subject was earth shattering, continuing with the space jargon here. As it turns out, our lives, my life is very much space-enabled. I am now using the language of Danielle Wood, who is a professor of MIT and who has founded there a Space Enabled Research Group. Here is what I have learned:
- Space helps me communicate. The communication satellites that are orbiting the Earth enable us talk to each other.
- Space helps me locate myself. The positioning satellites that are orbiting the Earth enable me to find and geo-position myself in the world.
- Space makes me smarter. The findings from the research that takes place in space (the microgravity research) can be extrapolated and used here on Earth to advance medicine, science and many other disciplines.
- Space makes sure that I am not hungry. The data that is made available through Earth observation technology helps us track crops, vegetation, water supplier and much more.
- Space makes me safer. The space can warm me against the areas of danger or stress in the world that could guide me in my movements.
It was such a powerful and amazing discovery that the space, so alien and far help me be human and live my human live here on Earth. In a way, space reinforces my humanity, and that goes for every person on this planet.
Coming with this discovery into the session, I have expanded my knowledge on the subject even further. During the discussion, we have uncovered new, exciting opportunities for enabling researchers to access and compute geo-data. The solution is called the data cube and it allows dynamic and large scale data processing, and there is already one regional example in Armenia. Building on this, NRENs have a fantastic opportunity to connect researchers and decision maker through the connectivity and data services, and as a result to strengthen their role and value for the local and regional economy. This value proposition will be captured by a position paper that will be put together by GÉANT in coming month. Watch that space and get in touch with the Research Engagement group if you are interested ([email protected]). | geography |

Paul Hoffman (Harvard University)
Paul F. Hoffman is a research geologist formerly with the Geological Survey of Canada and Harvard University. His 55 years of ongoing field work are split between Paleoproterozoic basins and tectonics in northern Canada, and Neoproterozoic paleoceanography–paleoclimate in northern Namibia. In the 1970s and ‘80s, he successfully applied the new concepts of plate tectonics to the Precambrian. He established the paradigm that cratonic North America is a composite of six or more formerly independent Archean microcontinents, convulsively assembled as part of the supercontinent Nuna in geon 18 (1800-1899 Ma). In 1992, sensing that deepsea and glacial ice-core proxy data were revitalizing paleoceanography–paleoclimate, just as paleomagnetism and marine geophysics had revolutionized tectonics thirty years earlier, he abruptly switched his research focus to the Neoproterozoic. In the 1990s and 2000s, he and geochemical oceanographer Dan Schrag were the leading advocates of the snowball Earth hypothesis for low-latitude Cryogenian glaciations and cap carbonates. Critical predictions of the snowball hypothesis, greatly elevated atmospheric CO2 at deglaciation and synchroneity of glaciation and deglaciation globally at low latitudes, are increasingly supported by new data. Hoffman’s best known papers are, United plates of America: the birth of a craton (1987), Did the breakout of Laurentia turn Gondwanaland inside-out? (1991), and A Neoproterozoic snowball Earth (1998). A recipient of the Wegener Medal (European Union of Geosciences), Wollaston Medal (Geological Society of London), Bucher Medal (American Geophysical Union) and Penrose Medal (Geological Society of America), he lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
Richard Goldfarb (Colorado School of Mines, China University of Geosciences Beijing)
Richard Goldfarb received his BS degree in geology from Bucknell University, an MS degree in hydrology from the MacKay School of Mines, and a PhD degree in geology from the University of Colorado. He was a research geologist with the Minerals Program of the U.S. Geological Survey for 35 years. Rich worked on the program’s Alaskan resource assessment projects for three decades, leading the Survey’s Alaska geochemical exploration research group during the late 1980s and 1990s. Since the middle 1990s, he has been involved with many of the Survey’s international metallogeny studies and was most recently chief of the Mineral Deposit Models project. As of the start of 2016, he divides his time as an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines, University of Western Australia, and the China University of Geosciences, as well as serving as a consultant to the exploration industry. He continues to run many workshops on gold exploration for industry geologists. Rich’s major expertise is the geology of gold deposits. He has conducted studies on the distribution of gold deposits throughout the world, compiling some of the most comprehensive global descriptions of their spatial-temporal setting and evaluating their controlling factors as guides to exploration. His research has been focused on global metallogeny, geology of ore deposits in the North American Cordillera with emphasis on orogenic gold, and distribution and geology of lode gold deposits in China and elsewhere in Asia. Rich has authored more than 200 papers on mineral resources, with many recognized as the authoritative research on orogenic gold and on aspects of regional metallogeny, as well as editing numerous books. Rich is Past-President of the Society of Economic Geologists and was past chief editor of Mineralium Deposita.

And in the equator... I don't know, It doesn't turn in the equator, it just falls straight down I guess. Those who want to go a little further and are able to remember the name, normally attribute this effect to a mysterious Coriolis effect. Although probably they are not able to explain what it is, the fact that it relates to a scientific theory seems enough to give credibility without actually checking if this relationship is real, although anyone can try it at home: just pull the plug and look how the water falls.
The proof... or not
You can actually see exhibits on the line of the equator that try to prove so: they empty a sink above the line of equator and the water falls straight down the drain. After moving a few meters to one hemisphere, the water falls turning around the drain. Finally, they move a few meters across the equator to the other hemisphere, and water falls spinning in the other direction.
The first problem I encounter to believe this experiment is that I have to accept that the line painted on the floor marks the separation between the north and south hemispheres with an accuracy of about one meter, since this alleged difference between north and south hemispheres is observed by only moving a couple of meters across this line. The other problem I find is that this radical change about water always turning in one direction and just crossing the equator behaving totally different and turning in the other direction sounds almost like magic, doesn't it?
But hey, let's be complacent and forget these points. There is a more serious problem: the three tests are not performed with the same conditions. To verify that a given variable is the cause that produces an effect you have to keep constant the other factors that can also alter the result, and that is not being done in this experiment. Apart from the location of the sink, there is another important factor that is being changed: the state of repose or initial movement of the water. We see that in the first test, performed "above" of the equator, the water is at rest (more or less). In the second, as the water is poured, the bucket is moved to the left (clockwise) and in the third, they throw the water moving the bucket to the right (counterclockwise).
Also note that they throw some leaves to the water so you can see how the water falls down the drain in the predicted direction. But they throw them after opening the drain so you can't see that the water was already in motion before opening the drain. For the same reason, they remove all the leaves before making the next test, so you can't note they are cheating when they throw the water.
And that initial movement they apply is just the same the water haves as it falls down the drain. The water is just keeping the same movement initially applied to it, and as the circumference of the rotation gets smaller as it approaches the drain, it will increase its speed (conservation of angular momentum).
Well, you see that in this typical demonstration they are cheating, but that doesn't mean that without that initial movement we won't get the same result. Have you tested it? Have you asked to prove it to the person that told you? Does water always fall in the direction predicted by the hypothesis in all the drains at your home? Notice that I emphasized "all" and "always" as the urban legend says that the water drains in the northern hemisphere turn in one direction and in the south always in the opposite direction, as a kind of physical law "explained" by the unexplained Coriolis effect. So, by finding a single case which doesn't fulfill, we will void the hypothesis.
I have myself done the same test and, oh, surprise, without moving from my home in the Spanish northwest I made the water turn clockwise when it is assumed that in the northern hemisphere should always turn counterclockwise:
In case you still have doubts, I also managed to turn it counterclockwise:
That is, without changing hemisphere, I managed to turn it in both directions. Is not supposed that water should always rotate in the same direction unless we change hemisphere? How did I do it? Well as you can see in the video, using the same cheat as in the initial video: by applying an initial movement in the direction that I am interested in.
If we do not apply enough initial movement (in a "homespun" experiment like this one is inevitable to apply disturbances when you pull the plug), I see no movement in the drain, which supposedly only happens in the equator:
So, does water turn always in the same direction in each of the hemispheres when going down the drain? Not really. Sometimes it turns in one direction and sometimes in the other one, it depends on various factors such as the shape and position of the basin, the plug position, the initial state of the water, ... Well, what then? Is the Coriolis effect fake? No, Coriolis effect exists and is very important for example in air travel, storms and tides. To a lesser extent, it theoretically influences the water drain, but its influence is so weak that it is nullified by other factors and even if we cancel these other factors, the influence of the Coriolis effect is too weak to be perceptible:
The question, then, is whether the Coriolis effect could be detected in the water of my basin. The answer is yes, and in fact, it has been achieved. If you have a circular sink over a meter in diameter filled with water completely still (except, of course, by the rotation of the Earth) with a tiny hole in its precise geometric center obstructed by a plug reachable from the bottom so as not to introduce spurious movements in the liquid, and had the entire system in a non-seismic and totally free of vibration area, it could be tested. You have to let the water settle for at least a week (or, better, for one month) for the molecules to lose all motion and then gently remove the bottom plug. Water will begin to flow through the small hole, emptying the tank, and if the process continues for 14 or 20 hours, we will see that gradually the Earth's rotation begins to introduce small deviations in the flow of fluid to achieve a circular motion. The motion is clearly cyclonic type, and rotates clockwise in our southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. — Dos Santos, Marcelo. "La "verdad" mentirosa" [translated by me]. Axxón. Num. 139 (june 2004)
The Coriolis effect
It is not my intention to give a very precise and deep explanation of the topic. First of all, because then another one will have to do it, and secondly because this article is not written for graduates in physics but for the general public who has the widespread belief that water swirls in different directions in each hemisphere. For this reason, I will use some terms that can squeak the most orthodox people but that will make easier their understanding, such as the Earth "escaping" of the airplanes after "pushing them" or that the Earth rotates at different speeds depending on the latitude. In the latter, I obviously mean linear speed, but will omit this clarification from now on.
We could describe the Coriolis effect as the apparent deviation of a straight path that an observer perceives from a system in rotation whose axis of rotation is perpendicular to that said straight path.
As usual, everything is best understood with an example:
Okay, okay, I put that video just because it's fun, but does not explain very well the Coriolis effect.
In this one, we can see that there is an object making a straight path — the pen. However, an observer situated on the circumference that makes a rotational movement will see the pen describing a curved path: the line drawn on the circumference.
The most common example which I think makes people understand very quickly how Coriolis effect works is the Carousel.
This video explains it very well because they show the path seen by an observer outside of the rotation system and another observer inside. Therefore, as one can clearly see, the object describes a straight path while the rotating observer perceives it as a curve.
In these cases, the difference caused by the Coriolis effect is big compared to that produced on Earth since the angular speed of the system in the example is much higher than the one on Earth and the path to examine extends from one side to the other of the system.
This is not the case of drains on Earth, of course. If we had a drain covering almost from one side to the other of an Earth that took a few seconds to turn around itself we would be able to appreciate the Coriolis effect in drains.
To understand why we don't appreciate the Coriolis effect on our tiny drains on our slow Earth, let's go back to the subject of the airplane.
I told above that the Coriolis effect is noticeable in airplanes. And indeed it is very important: if we don't take care of it, we may never reach our destination.
We can see what happens in this animation:
The plane starts its flight in a straight path because it wants to reach a point that it's "in front" of it. But as it goes straight it's destination "escapes" due to the rotation of the Earth. So it has to alter its trajectory and at the end it makes a curved path. This is because the linear velocity of rotation is not the same at all points of the globe. The Earth takes one day to turn around itself at any point on the planet, but the circle it has to describe is much smaller on a pole that on the equator. That is, in the equator travels much farther in the same time, so we can say that as we reach the pole, the [linear] speed of the rotation decreases. The plane begins its path "pushed" by the linear velocity of the rotation of the Earth at the time it takes off, but as we have seen, as it reaches the pole, the linear velocity of rotation decreases, so Earth is "left behind" by the airplane. The Earth does not rotate as fast (note, again, I'm speaking about linear velocity) at the point the plane aims to reach as at the point from which it took off, so the target is not " where we expected."
Well, as told above, this happens because, as the diameter of the circle of rotation of the Earth decreases on the area of the Earth we are, the speed at which it rotates to make a full turn in a day will decrease too. I think that this will make us realize that the difference in the size of the rotation circle in the different points of the drain is not enough to notice the Coriolis effect.
But if my empirical demonstration and "homespun" explanation are not enough for you and you want to know more about this issue with its equations that show how Coriolis effect (not) really affects drains, there is huge information on the net about this topic. For example, in Spanish: The Túzaro, El Tamiz and the aforementioned Axxón magazine. Sorry, I haven't collected links in English. | geography |

The Terrace Gardens District was proposed as part of the 1990 Tower District Specific Plan. Its boundaries extend from the corner of Van Ness and Clinton west to Palm; north to the rear property line of Brown; east to the second property beyond Wilson; south to Brown Avenue; east to the fourth property from Van Ness; south to Harvard Avenue; east to Van Ness, and south to Clinton (view map of district boundary).
This district includes not only the subdivision from which it takes its name, but also portions of the Normal Heights tract to the north, and the St. Francis Wood tract to the east. It illustrates the kind of suburban growth that typified the Tower District in the generations that followed the more dense, varied development of properties south of Belmont. Among the most noteworthy of this district's many well-crafted homes are a number that employ Mediterranean-style motifs, particularly the Peden Home at 315 Brown Avenue (on right), and the more modestbut collectively quite effectivearray of homes that line both sides of the 300-400 block of E. Terrace Avenue.

Maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 125 km/h, and central pressure of 985 hPa
West Northwestward at 15 km/h
Extent of Tropical Cyclone Winds
Strong winds or higher extend outwards up to 420 km from the center
TROPICAL CYCLONE WIND SIGNALS IN EFFECT
TCWS No. 1 (Strong winds prevailing or expected within 36 hours) Visayas
The southeastern portion of Eastern Samar (Guiuan, Mercedes, Salcedo) Dinagat Islands, the eastern portion of Surigao del Norte (Claver, Surigao City, Tagana-An, Placer, Gigaquit, Bacuag) including Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands, and the northern portion of Surigao del Sur (Carrascal, Cantilan, Madrid, Cortes, Carmen, Lanuza)
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
• Tomorrow: Light to moderate with at times heavy rains are possible over Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Dinagat Islands due to the trough and the outermost rain bands of “ODETTE”
• Thursday: Heavy to intense with at times torrential rains over Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Camiguin, and Misamis Oriental. Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over Leyte, Southern Leyte, the southern portion of Eastern Samar, Bohol, Siquijor, and the rest of Caraga. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol Region, Zamboanga del Norte, and the rest of Visayas and Northern Mindanao
• Friday: Heavy to intense with at times torrential rains over Central Visayas, Western Visayas, and the portion of Palawan including Cuyo and Cagayancillo Islands. Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over the rest of Visayas, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, the central portion of Palawan, Calamian Islands, and Dinagat Islands. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga del Norte, Quezon, and the rest of MIMAROPA and Caraga.
• Under these conditions, scattered to widespread flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are expected especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps, and in localities with significant antecedent rainfall.
• Strong winds (strong breeze to near gale) with higher gusts will be experienced within any of the areas where TCWS #1 is currently in effect during the passage of the severe tropical storm. This may generally bring up to very light damage to structures and vegetation.
• Areas under TCWS will be expanded in succeeding bulletins, while the hoisted wind signals in some localities of the country will be upgraded as “ODETTE” moves closer. The highest level of wind signal that may be hoisted during the passage of “ODETTE” is TCWS #3 due to possible destructive typhoon-force winds in localities near or along the path of this tropical cyclone.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• Under the influence of Severe Tropical Storm “ODETTE” and the prevailing Northeast Monsoon, a Gale Warning remains effect for the seaboards of Northern Luzon, the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon, the eastern and western seaboards of Southern Luzon and Visayas, and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #46 (Intermediate) issued at 11:00 PM today.
• Within the same period, moderate to rough seas (1.2 to 3.1 m) will prevail over the remaining seaboards of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas, and the western and northern seaboards of Mindanao. These conditions are risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• “ODETTE” is forecast to move west northwestward tonight through tomorrow, then westward beginning Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of this tropical cyclone is forecast to make landfall in the vicinity of Caraga or Eastern Visayas on Thursday afternoon or evening. Afterwards, the center “ODETTE” will continue moving generally westward and cross several provinces in Central and Western Visayas regions before emerging over the Sulu Sea on Friday morning or afternoon. After passing near or over the Cuyo archipelago, this tropical cyclone is forecast to cross the northern portion of Palawan on Friday evening.
• Further intensification is expected tomorrow through Thursday as the severe tropical storm crosses the Philippine Sea east of Mindanao. “ODETTE” is forecast to intensify into a typhoon within 12 hours and may reach a peak intensity of 155 km/h prior to making landfall on Thursday afternoon or evening. This tropical cyclone may see some slight weakening as it crosses the Visayas and Palawan, but it is forecast to remain within the typhoon category. Re-intensification is likely once “ODETTE” emerges over the West Philippine Sea.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 AM tomorrow.

CARE started its operations in Pakistan as CARE International in Pakistan (CIP) in 2005. Since then, CIP has worked across all geographies in Pakistan from the most vulnerable remote areas to developed urban centres to support people in overcoming poverty through creating opportunities for self-reliance. We adhere to the humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality.
CIP employs a partnership model, working with local implementing partners to strengthen their capacities in the delivery of programs that align with the Government of Pakistan’s (GoP) development objectives. Believing in localization, CIP provides technical assistance to local partners, who work in rural and urban communities across the country. In Pakistan, we have designed contextualised models which apply evidence and learning from past programs and current innovations to influence broader change and to scale up effective solutions. CIP’s approach is based on leveraging the talents and capacities of communities for self-reliance, rather than making them dependent on aid.
With the support of our partners in government, civil society, academia and for-profit organizations, CIP has promoted equality and inclusion, particularly in the areas of Health, Education, Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE), Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) and Emergency Response (ER).
We seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where
poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.
Save lives, defeat poverty, and achieve social justice.
We put women and girls in the center because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. | geography |

Obiano (Akpokodike) who inspected the ongoing 100-Foot Road Nnewi Erosion Control Project.
100-Foot Road Nnewi was one of the major entrance to Nkwo Nnewi, a market that has an estimated annual turnover of $1billion, before it was seriously affected by erosion which swallowed the road, residential and commercial buildings.
While it may be a surprise to many, the erosion started way-back in the 1970s and only got worsened last year.
The visit of His Excellency, which was primarily to ascertain the pace of work, afforded me the opportunity to express my appreciation to the Governor for acting promptly by engaging the services of an International Reputable Construction Company, Infrastructure Development Company (IDC), for the reclamation of 100-Foot Road Nnewi Erosion Site.
It would be recalled that one of the first motion I moved after I was sworn in as the Lawmaker representing Nnewi North in Anambra State House of Assembly, was the motion in which I raised alarm on the erosion which has cut-off 100-Foot Road and is posing a serious threat to Nkwo Nnewi Market.
With the involvement of other stakeholders, we reached out to His Excellency, in our different capacities calling for his timely intervention to save our town from the devastating effect of the erosion.
The Governor being proactive, despite the pressure on the state budget, awarded the contract for the control and reclamation of the erosion.
The ongoing construction works on the Storm Water Diversion Deep Channel on the Fifty (50) Feet Deep 100-Foot Road Gully Erosion, Uruagu Nnewi, will bring lasting solutions to the problems of erosion menace in the area.
The project which will cost N4bn has succeeded in almost reclaiming the gully through the importation of laterite and compaction with careful channelization of the stormwater in a number of drains.
While we commend our Governor for this great effort, it is time for us to open discussion on the need for community participation in the management and protection of the environment from erosion.
Erosion does not just develop overnight, there are processes leading to them and this can be averted at the community level.
Although some gullies are caused by natural cracks in the earth and nature of our soil, most gully erosions in Anambra State are unnatural and can be averted. Most of the causes of erosions are traceable to bad management practices such as roads without proper drainage or catchments pits, blocking drainage channels with refuse, deforestation, unsustainable farming and mining of sand.
It is time for us to create institutions and implement policies that will guarantee a sustainable environment.

Nnewi North Constituency,

Roads & Highways
KTA has planned, designed and supervised the construction of more than 30 road projects in Sarawak, including urban and rural roads. One notable project is the Bakun access road for the 84km section from Tubau to Bakun Hydroelectric Dam site. This is one of the most challenging road projects so far undertaken in Sarawak, crossing rugged mountainous terrain and has one of the highest cut slopes of over 80m high in this region of Sarawak.
We also designed and supervised the Simpang Tiga flyover, which consists of three main bridges and viaduct structures with a total length of 3km, including approaches and roundabouts. This major interchange in Kuching is designed not only with traffic solutions in mind, but also to ensure that it blends harmoniously with the local environment.
Some of the other roads we have designed include the Sg Besi Road Upgrading as well as road in peat soil conditions, such as Kelait Entanggor Road in Samarahan Division and Approach Road to Batang Rajang Bridge in Sibu.
Completed Bako Causeway, a rockfilled river closure across Sg. Santubong that forms a vital communication link from Kuching to Demak Laut (Sejingkat).
Our Road and Highway Division utilises 2 MX-ROAD workstations, a powerful computer based design software system which creates 3-dimensional models of ground surface and road interchanges. Through the use of this software, more cost effective designs are made possible.

Cairo is one of the world’s richest cities when it comes to tourist visits and historic sites. Though there is so much to see and experience in Cairo, many people find themselves with only one day in which to see the main sights of the city. If you find yourself in this position, there are a few musts that simply cannot be missed.
Here is your ultimate guide to a one-day visit to Cairo.
Begin your one-day tour of Cairo with an early morning visit to the Giza plateau. It is essential to visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx, no matter how many pictures you have seen of them before. The experience will leave you humbled as you will be taken aback by the sheer size of the structures and the brief history that your tour guide will give you about how and when they were built.
After visiting the Giza plateau, head towards central Cairo and visit the Egyptian Museum. Though you can spend an entire day at the museum alone, there are a few must-sees that can compensate for the short nature of the duration of your trip. The mummy rooms and the King Tut rooms are a simple must. You can also shop in the museum gift shop for books and memorable souvenirs.
Once you are done with your visit to the Egyptian Museum, get ready to get lost in the labyrinthine of fascination that is Khan El Khalili. The 600-year-old Khan El Khalili Bazaar is where truly authentic art pieces that are crafted to perfection can be bought. It is also where a completely different face of Cairo is uncovered as a switch from Pharoanic Egypt to Islamic Egypt occurs.
To see Cairo from yet another completely different angle, visit the Cairo Tower. It is the tallest building in Egypt and its design was inspired by the lotus flower, which is symbolic of Egyptian history. The capsula at the top of the tower contains a revolving restaurant that gives a spectacular 360-degree view of the entire city of Cairo, all while enjoying a hearty and healthy meal amidst friendly and professional service.
End your day perfectly by paying a visit to Al-Azhar Park in the heart of old historic Cairo. The park commands stunning panoramic views and offers lush green landscaped gardens and walkways. This 30-hectare (74-acre) Al-Azhar Park lets you enjoy exotic settings amidst a variety of unique cafes and restaurants that are thoughtfully positioned for visitors to appreciate the most dramatic views of Cairo.
Though Cairo is a city that you can rediscover daily, these basic guidelines can be your first step to what will be one of many visits to this magical city. | geography |

on July 11 2013
Fear of over-saturating the market has top luxury brands fleeing the Bund retail complex in Shanghai.
Deng Yide, CEO of Bund 18, has said that stores like Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana – which have left Bund 3 and Bund 6, respectively – no longer need a prestigious location in Shanghai to boost their image in China. Now, they need to push sales nationwide.
Want China Times reports that Bund sales have been steadily declining, and that analysts have noted that sales are dropping across first-tier cities, where popular brands are “the victims of their own success.” They report that sales of French brands, like LVMH, have fallen 5 to 10 percent on average each year.
However, sales of luxury brands are rising drastically in second- and third-tier cities, where more and more buyers are gaining a taste for goods they have never owned before. Shenyang, in China’s Liaoning Province, now hosts 61 international luxury brands. The city is fourth in sales behind Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.
As smaller cities pick up stores, the Bund is watching the market. “The situation might get worse,” Deng said, “we are prepared for the worst scenario – that is when Cartier and Ermenegildo both pull out.”

Maharashtra is the third largest state in the country both in terms of size and population. It is bordered by the Arabian sea in the west, Gujarat in the North-West, Andhra Pradesh in the South-East and Karnataka and Goa in the South.
Maharashtra's 720 km long affair with the Arabian Sea extends from Dahanu and Bordi in the north up to Goa proceeding southwards.
The Maharashtra coast is characterized by pocket beaches flanked by rocky cliffs of deccan basalt; estuaries and patches of mangroves. Maharashtra state has about 720 km long indented coastline, which is marked by the presence of major estuaries and narrow creeks. It comprises the coastal districts of Thane, Raigad, Mumbai, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg. The Shoreline is generally straight. The area receives over 300cms of annual rainfall spread over 4 months of the year.|
Physiographical the area can be divided into 3 parts from the west to east as follows:
A narrow fringe of quaternary fluvio-marine sediments
• Steep rocky slopes encircling the plateaus
• An undulating plateau profile rising in height towards the east
The main drainage in the coastal area trends in a general East-West direction and flows to the Arabian Sea in the west. The Dudh, Vaitarna, Ulhas, Amba, Kundalika, Vashishthi, Savitri, Shastri and Terekhol rivers and their tributaries form the main drainage.
The Maharashtra coast popularly known as Konkan coast is an important sector on the West coast of India, because of its physical distinctiveness, biota and marine resources. The coastal areas are populated and developed in the active region of Konkan. The coastal region is hilly, narrow, highly dissected with transverse ridges of the Western Ghats and at many places extending as promontories, notches, sea caves, embayment’s, submerged shoals and offshore islands. Some of the major problems faced by the littoral zone and the shore front areas of Maharashtra coast are related to coastal erosion, siltation, pollution, destruction of mangrove swamps, salt marshes, sea level rise, landslides and slope failure, pressure of population, industrialization, road transport etc. | geography |

In the 1820’s the Erie Canal opened, connecting the Hudson River to the Genesee river. This allowed Rochester’s flour to be transported quickly downstate. After a slew of flour mills opened along the shores of the Genesee, Rochester received the title, the “flour city.” As flour producers moved west, flower nurseries moved in. The ROC quickly became surrounded by nurseries large and small, earning its new title the “flower city.” Soon after, Frederick Law Olmsted completed the development of Highland Park, that has become home to over 400 varieties lilac flowers.

Lockdown Lobsters started in March 2020 with a simple mission to help a fishermen, Sion, from North Wales and to sell his lobsters to London in lockdown. We sold every lobster caught by Sion before he finished his lobster season in September, and we will start supplying his lobsters again in April 2021.
Bridlington on the East coast of Yorkshire is home to many small scale fisherman who depends on lobster fishing all year round. To keep our supply lines open this winter we have been working with Bridlington fishing boats. Winter lobsters are always more expensive because most west coast lobster fisherman switch to other catch in and far fewer lobsters are landed on our coast. Christmas is the peak of the market because demand ramps up from France and Spain, both of which enjoy a tradition of making seafood the centre of their Christmas feasts.
We are offering three sizes of lobsters
Small (400 – 600 ) grams
Medium (600- 800 grams
Large (800 gram – 1kilo).
We are very pleased to be able to open delivery to the rest of England – unfortunately, the lobsters are more expensive this way as there is a lot more packaging involved to send them safely at the temperature required.
Our NORTH WALES lobster season is over until we start again in 2021
Our story started in March in North Wales when acclaimed photographer Jude Edginton met Sion Williams a third-generation fisherman on the North Wales coast for a photoshoot. With lockdown coming, they created a unique plan to deliver his catch from sea to London front doors in under 24 hours.
Since that March meeting, every lobster Sion has landed has been sold by Lockdown Lobsters and delivered to London doorways and restaurants. A massive thank you to all our customers. Sion has now pulled up his pots for the winter, but we will be back selling his lobster’s in 2021! | geography |

PARACHUTE, Colo. (AP) — The western Colorado town of Parachute is getting a marijuana shop with a drive-up window, believed to be the first …
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Paul Vondergathen loves hiking through the Strawberry Fields area of Cheyenne Canyon.
“I hike here maybe three, four times a week with my dogs,” Vondergathen said.
The 190-acre open space is on the trading blocks. The Colorado Springs city council approved a trade with The Broadmoor Hotel in exchange for other trails and open space. They plan to use it for horse stables and riding trails but say they will still leave some area open to the public.
In exchange, the city would receive 155 acres of land – called Ruxton Canyon – that includes the heart of the Manitou Incline.
Opponents of the transaction say deal violates the whole spirit of the law that made the land a park in the first place.
“That park has been in the family for 131 years and it was voted on by the voters in 1885,” Richard Skorman of the Save Cheyenne group said. “We think the voters should have a chance to vote on whether to sell it or trade or not.”
Skorman has filed a lawsuit to stop the transaction and is trying to collect a little more than 15,000 signatures by January 4th to put the proposal (Protect Our Parkland, or POPS) on the April ballot. But the mayor’s office doesn’t support the measure.
“The city goes through regular land transactions all the time,” Jeff Greene, the Mayor’s Chief of Staff said. “It could be public right-aways, easements or utilities. You’re just basically going to disrupt any kind of activity that will benefit the city or community.”
Skorman goes back to a battle he waged in 1998. The developer wanted to build hundreds of homes where the Stratton Open Space now sits. “We don’t want to set a president where the city sells or trades an area of open space.”
In 1997, the group convinced voters to approve a sales tax to help pay for open space and avoid developments like the 1998 attempt.
Back to Vondergathen, the German native who moved to the area more than four decades ago, said he supports The Broadmoor.
“There are plenty of open spaces I hike all the time,” he said. “I think they have always done good things for the community and trust they will do the right thing.”
The issue may wind up in the hands of the voters. Then, we’ll see where this path leads.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Col. I live in Perth and I have a passion for construction. I am pretty useless when it comes to construction work so I tend to leave it to the experts. However, I find that there is nothing more pleasing than seeing a team of construction workers complete a job. Over the years, I have hired many different types of construction worker and they have all taken the time to chat with me. During these conversations, I have learnt so pretty interesting things which I will be exploring on this blog. Enjoy!
Planning to commence construction on a subdivided lot? You need to know about engineering surveying before embarking on the project.
So, what is an engineering survey and how can it benefit your project? Stick around to find out.
Engineering Survey – What Is It?
A land survey is an integral part of any new or continuing land development. It is commonly performed to define the boundaries of a property, to identify the features of a property, to fulfill local building codes and regulations, and to determine existing easements, utilities, and covenants. But not all land surveys are created the same. One of the land surveys that is typically performed before developing land is an engineering survey.
This type of land survey helps to identify conditions and geographic features that may impact construction on the property. The geospatial information gathered from conducting an engineering survey is essential for construction projects in a number of different ways.
What Are the Benefits of an Engineering Survey?
Here are three important reasons to perform an engineering survey before building on your subdivided property:
Project planning and design
Before any work can begin at your construction site, it is important to ensure that layout of the lot is well-thought-out and the design of the structure to be built meets local building codes and regulations.
Engineering surveyors can investigate the features of your property and help you come up with a practical building design that conforms to legal requirements. An engineering surveyor will look into all the civil works needed to build on your land and set everything out for you. This will allow you to go about your project in an organised, well-coordinated manner.
Beyond project planning and design, it is important to follow quality standards throughout the construction process. An engineering surveyor can provide the expert insight needed to know if your construction project is on track to meet expectations. They'll crunch the numbers to ensure you structure is built according to the given tolerances.
An engineering survey can also be performed post-construction to ensure the structure is strong and safe for human occupation. Any existing flaws are noted down, and corrective action recommended.
When it comes to building on subdivided property, every project is different. If you're ready to request for an engineering survey, contact an experienced land surveyor in your local area to discuss about your project needs and requirements. | geography |

James and William Fraser (who was Political Agent to Major-General Martindale) reached Sarahan, the picturesque summer residence of the Bushair rajas, on 16 June 1815. Now a tiny village, best-known for the Bhimakali temple, it sits high on a ridge above the Sutlej river. The young Raja, who was only 8 years old, came out of his palace to pay the travellers a visit. From Sarahan they had a good view of the peaks of Bandarpunch near the source of the river Yamuna. It rained incessantly, forcing them to stay in their tents for several days before continuing their journey.

~ Ansel Adams
In just a few days I am going to the mountains for a women’s retreat and I am so excited! The rejuvenating power of nature is so deeply magical and the beauty fills me with awe and wonder. I love to hike, hug trees, and soak up the mountain air.
I feel equally as refreshed living near the ocean. I often drive or walk along the beach, watching the sun shimmering on the ocean, whales spouting, and witnessing glorious sunsets. The power of this beauty has inspired a constant flow of joy and gratitude and it has been such a gift to have this self-nurturing practice.
I love the ocean but the forest holds my heart. Forests seems to breathe with me and embrace me with their sacred silence. I feel such reverence walking amongst these trees and always feel like I have come home. I love watching the sun lighting up the leaves and branches and creating layers of light and amazing reflections. Every step I take through the forest is in deep awe and wonder and I feel so nourished by the experience.
As John Muir wrote, “This is the best tree-lover’s monument…in all the forests of the world.” Indeed my deep love of trees leads me over and over again to the forest and has since I was a girl. I used to play In the forest and still feel that childlike wonder any time I am among the trees.
Where do you go in nature to rejuvenate?
How often do you nurture yourself in this way?
How does connecting with the beauty around you change how you view the world?
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.” ~Rachel Carson
May you reconnect with the rejuvenating power of nature and nurture peace in the world from the inside out!
Sending you so much peace, love and gratitude,
Kelley Grimes, M.S.W.

Dewey Beach, DE
The family owned Rehoboth-By-The-Sea Realty Company started developing the north end of Dewey Beach, DE in 1925. This ocean front property is known as Rehoboth by the Sea.
There were few homes in Dewey Beach in the 1930's and 1940's. To facilitate development, the Company offered non-renewable land leases in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Leaseholders could lease the land and build their beach cottage on the land.
Leaseholders own the "improvement" (beach house), on the leased land. Leases lasted about 60 years.
Rehoboth-By-The-Sea Realty Company is a leasing company; however, RBTS has sold beach property.
Rehoboth By The Sea is located in the quiet north end of Dewey Beach, DE. Please click here for a map and directions to our office.

If you are a history buff, then this is what your diving dreams are made of. Previously only accessible to archaeologists, the 2,000-year-old Greek shipwreck, the Peristera- an underwater museum, is now open to the public.
As Greece begins to relax its previously strict restrictions on certain historical sites, The Peristera will become Greece’s first underwater museum, allowing public access of this site to scuba divers. Dive trips to the historic site will be available until October 2, 2020 but will reopen next summer.
The Peristera shipwreck stretches across a 25-meter area. Archeologists believe this large merchant ship sunk due to bad weather in 425 BC while transporting thousands of amphorae full of wine from northern Greece to other parts of the ancient Greek empire. The wreck rested at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for 2,000 years until a lone fisherman discovered it in 1985.
To help protect the integrity of the wreck, divers will still need to be accompanied by licensed, local dive guides. Divers can book trips in Alonissos, Greece, where they will then depart to the nearby, uninhabited islet of Peristera in the northwest Aegean Sea. The dive guides will take divers to depths of 28 meters to explore the remains of the wreck and its more exciting cargo, nearly 4,000, mostly intact amphorae.
This fascinating dive site is being referred to as the Parthenon of shipwrecks due to the historical significance of discovering such a large number of ancient amphorae in a single site. Greek authorities anticipate diver enthusiasm over this site will be high and are planning on opening up additional shipwrecks in the area to scuba divers and underwater enthusiasts with the ultimate goal of forming a diving park.
With gin-clear waters and temperatures of up to 25C (77F), this fascinating, historically rich site offers the ultimate adventure. Ancient artifacts are not the only things to explore, however. The wreck is also home to an abundance of Mediterranean marine life, including colorful fish and beautiful sea sponges. With only a month and a half left to access this unique dive site and Greece slowly opening its borders up to other countries, don’t wait…plan your Peristera dive trip today! | geography |

Five hundred years ago, the Atlantic Forest of Brazil covered approximately 330 million acres (about twice the size of Texas), but today more than 85% of this forest has been cleared and what remains is highly fragmented.
Despite its diminished state, the Atlantic Forest still ranks as a global conservation priority. Although it is just a small fraction of the size of the great Amazon rainforest, the Atlantic Forest still harbors of a range of biological diversity similar to that of the Amazon.
The Nature Conservancy, which has been working in the Atlantic Forest since 1991 with a wide range of partners, has an ambitious plan to protect and restore 30 million acres of this magnificent forest by 2015.

His upbringing gave him the passion for authentic cajun and bbq food inspiring him to bring southern flare to West Michigan.
Pasche first got into the restaurant business in 1986 working at a college BBQ restaurant. In 2000, Rick opened an original Cajun restaurant named Frilly’s in Texas. Later, he opened the first Pasche’s restaurant in Vermont before coming to Michigan in 2007.
Pasche’s Seafood Kitchen serves up cajun cuisine from gumbo to dirty rice commonly prepared in Southern Louisiana. Following the success of the Seafood Kitchen, Rick wanted his guests to experience a taste of southern BBQ unlike any other in the region. He opened Redline BBQ Smokehouse and Catering featuring traditional brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs and pulled pork to name a few tasty selections available. Rick also owns and manages Frilly’s Seafood Bayou Kitchen – a cajun-inspired seafood kitchen much like Pasche’s Seafood Kitchen in Decatur, Texas, and Laura’s Gourmet Catering in Southwest Michigan.
Every item on each of Rick’s menus has been hand-selected by Pasche himself, then created from scratch using only the freshest ingredients available. Authentic, southern style cooking prepared fresh each and every day. That’s authentic cajun cuisine and BBQ. That’s the flavor of Rick’s Restaurant Group. | geography |

The Agents include National Title Insurance, Alliant National Title Insurance, Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Connecticut Attorneys Title Insurance, and Security Title Guarantee—and more may be joining the fold.
What’s behind this alliance, and what are the pros—and cons? Is it a game changer?
First, the background: These companies are underwriters that issue title insurance policies. Title insurance agents provide title insurance policies to clients –such as purchasers of real estate and lenders financing real estate deals — through such underwriters. When real estate was booming, prior to the recession, the number of underwriters grew substantially. However, when the real estate market crashed, some underwriters went out of business. Big underwriters also took the opportunity to buy out smaller underwriters, consolidating the market further. Smaller, regional underwriters were left to compete against a handful of giants.
ATRA Alliance Positions Regional Underwriters To Better Compete
Consolidation in a market resulted in less competition. Additionally, big underwriters increased exclusions demonstrated a reluctance to insure certain kinds of transactions. With fewer underwriters and more exclusions, these five regional underwriters formed an alliance to form a powerful group, better able to compete with the largest underwriters.
Is it a game changer? That remains to be seen. Certainly, title agencies benefit from having a variety of willing title insurance underwriters to ensure they are able to insure even the largest and most complex transactions. Greater choice and a competitive landscape is also typically good for clients.
Possible cons? Questions include how well the corporate cultures of ATRA’s members will blend. How will the five firms, which have been functioning in regional markets, operate cooperatively in states with varying regulations and statutes? These and other questions abound. This alliance will provide a very interesting scenario to watch as it unfolds. | geography |

LIDAR captures a wealth of valuable information about the world. In order to maximise value from this data, it needs to be processed using a range of geospatial tools and techniques. Due to the large size of LIDAR datasets, it is often necessary to use cloud computing and parallel processing systems for validation, testing, and reporting of LIDAR point clouds. Some of the aspects to consider when working with LIDAR data include point density, the device scan angle, horizontal and vertical accuracy, and flight line overlap. | geography |

Positano is a village and comune on the Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), in Campania, Italy, mainly in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast.
Positano was a port of the Amalfi Republic in medieval times, and prospered during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to America. Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the twentieth century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: "Positano bites deep", Steinbeck wrote. "It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone."
The church of Santa Maria Assunta features a dome made of majolica tiles as well as a thirteenth-century Byzantine icon of a black Madonna. According to local legend, the icon had been stolen from Byzantium and was being transported by pirates across the Mediterranean. A terrible storm had blown up in the waters opposite Positano and the frightened sailors heard a voice on board saying "Posa, posa!" ("Put down! Put down!"). The precious icon was unloaded and carried to the fishing village and the storm abated. Positano has been featured in several films, including Only You (1994), and Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), as well as more recently in Kath & Kimderella (2012) and being mentioned in the 2009 musical film Nine in the song "Cinema Italiano". It also hosts the annual Cartoons on the Bay Festival, at which Pulcinella awards for excellence in animation are presented. From July 1967 and through most of the 1970s, Positano was home to singer-songwriter Shawn Phillips and where most of his best-known work was composed. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones wrote the song "Midnight Rambler" in the cafes of Positano while on vacation. | geography |

We are local roofers through and through, but everyone needs a break! The place is brilliant, we loved it. It inspired us to write an article on their roofs and how they differ to the UK roofs!
Anyone who has ever visited Thailand will remember the distinctive traditional roofs. From a distance, these steep peaks with their pointed gables are eye-catching and beautiful. We see them everywhere, from local traditional Thai houses to the ornate Grand Palace of Bangkok. The roof is a hallmark of Thai architecture, a marvel at the very heart of the nation. But what makes them so unique?
Form Follows Function
In the harsh, cold reaches of Scandinavia, roofs are built steep, so that the snow slides off; while in arid Africa, roofs are built flat. Put simply; form follows function. A building must conform to the needs of the environment, or it will not survive.
As such, Thai roofs are steep, with some angles exceeding 45 degrees. A steep roof ensures that during the heavy rains – which can exceed 30 centimetres – the roof does not collect water, and the building remains undamaged. Additionally, most traditional their houses lack a ceiling, so warm air can rise and escape. Thus, keeping the building cool, despite the warm climate.
Types of Traditional Thai Roofs
Typically, Thai roofs are made from terracotta tiles, teak shingles, palm leaf thatch, wood chip, metal roofing sheets (corrugated), or dried grasses. Though the roof is a distinctive part of Thai architecture, they can differ from region to region. In the more arid north, Thai roofs are a gentler slope, while in the south, roofing is steep and large, to deal with the barrage of heavy rain and wind.
However, there are four main types of roof:
- Gabled roofs: The traditional roof of Thailand, has a steep concave shape and is mostly found in the central region. It is designed for the short bouts of heavy rain.
- Hipped roofs: Also known as Panya roofs, these are usually used in palaces or governmental buildings. There is a strong Western influence. The ‘panlom’ or bargeboard rises to a point and denotes importance. See Sanphret Prasat Palace.
- Hipped-gable roof: Also known as gambrel or Manila roofs, they are commonly used by Thai Muslims in the south. They have a hipped form, with gables halfway up the slope on a couple of sides, to improve ventilation.
- Double-gable roof: Here two different gables are placed on top of the house to help provide better protection of the structure. See Wat Pho, where there are many examples of double-gabled roofs.
Making a Thai Roof with Modern Materials
In modern Thai architecture, the traditional Thai house still has a place. Where previously, Thai structures often fitted together without metal nails, using pre-cut holes and grooves, modern structures often use an underlying metal framework. Nails are generally used for ease.
A layer of traditional Thai wood is used next, to provide bracing. Before a final layer of wooden shingle is used, to give the house a traditional Thai look. Decoration can then be added, according to the taste of the homeowner. Be it modern and slick, or classic Thai architecture.
The trip was great. We’ve taken home some ideas we can use for our flat roofs. Although Asian countries deal with different climates to us, it’s still interesting to see how their engineering works. Seeing how other people deal with roofing problems is a great exercise. Although proficient, we believe we are all always learning! | geography |

What he did find first was the Hudson River of modern-day New York. On his second attempt, Hudson sailed North East, up the coast of Canada through the Strait of Belle Isle and South West below Baffin Island. They were just able to enter Hudson Bay when the winter of 1610 set in. When the pack ice broke in late spring they continued to explore Hudson Bay. Toward the beginning of winter, Hudson finished mapping James Bay, which he named after his son. Winter was coming and the crew wanted to return home but Henry Hudson refused. Shortly after, the crew mutinied and took over the ship. Henry Hudson, his son and seven other loyal crew members were abandoned in James Bay in the jolly boat. They were never heard from again. The crew returned to England where one of them told the terrible tale. The crew lived just long enough to be hanged for mutiny. | geography |

Scott Morrison, Prime Minster of Australia that Legendary Entertainment’s feature Godzilla vs Kong and Disney ABC International Television series Reef Break will be filmed in Australia.
Godzilla vs Kong, scheduled for release in 2020, will be the latest entry in Legendary Entertainment’s successful ‘MonsterVerse’ series of films and will see the two iconic movie monsters going head to head. Godzilla vs Kong, starring Alexander Skarsgard, Rebecca Hall and Kyle Chandler and Ken Watanabe will follow on from the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters (trailer below) and recently released Kong: Skull Island, the latter of which was also shot at Village Roadshow Studios.
Similarly, Disney ABC International Television will be filming their big budget 13 episode Reef Break television series, starring Poppy Montgomery on the Gold Coast as well as in Hawaii.
Both productions have been attracted to Australia thanks to the Location Incentive Programme.
The continued success comes hot off the heels of a number of major productions filming on the Gold Coast such a Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Thor: Ragnorak and includes the soon to be released Aquaman and currently in production Dora the Explorer films.
The strong production slate is likely to be further incentivised with the Queensland Government recently announcing a new post, digital and visual effects (PDV) incentive designed to attract high-end post production work to the state. The 10 percent rebate (able to be combined with a 30 percent Federal PDV offset) is expected to attract significant national and international post-production projects. Similar PDV incentives in other states have proved highly successful. | geography |

This platform is unmanned, it is transported to the stratosphere by means of a balloon together with a payload, which is then transported in a controlled manner to the planned destination.
It also works well in environments where the temperature is around -60 ° C, so it is very suitable for the stratosphere. After reaching the final height of the balloon, the glider is disconnected and returns to either the starting position or another planned destination by a sliding controlled descent. Of course, it can also be changed during the flight. All using GPS.
The devices are integrated into the glider so that they can collect data even at low temperatures and in the event of radiation that could otherwise damage them,
The inspiration for the project came during the launch of a stratospheric balloon, the payload of which had to be difficult to find. Thus, the overall process of launching a balloon is time and money consuming.
The goal is to efficiently transport payloads from the stratosphere back to earth. The secondary goal is to develop such a transport device that would be functional even in conditions of thin air not only on Earth, but also on Mars, for example.
In 2019, a glider with manual control was produced. Landing and stabilization were tested. The test on the balloon was during April – May 2020. We are currently working on avionics and an auxiliary drive to approach the target. | geography |
