While sublimation is often used for decorating versatile substrates like mugs, shirts, and tiles, many crafters are curious if card stock can also be sublimated. Card stock is a popular paper choice for DIY projects, scrapbooking, and homemade greeting cards. However, its thicker, denser composition compared to regular printing paper raises the question – can I sublimate on card stock?
Table of Contents
Can You Sublimate on Cardstock?
Yes, you can sublimate on card stock. Card stock is suitable for sublimation printing because it contains cellulose, which allows dye-sublimation inks to penetrate the surface and bond with the fibers. When sublimating on card stock, it’s important to use high-quality card stock that is coated for sublimation. Uncoated card stock may not work as well.
How to Sublimate on Cardstock | Proper Guide
Here are the steps on how to sublimate on cardstock properly:
- Materials Required
- Sublimation printer
- Sublimation ink
- Cardstock suitable for sublimation
- Sublimation transfer paper
- Heat press machine
- Teflon sheet
Preparing the Cardstock:
- Use cardstock that is designed for sublimation. Regular cardstock won’t work as it needs to be porous to allow the ink to soak in.
- The cardstock must be untreated and not have any coatings.
- Ensure the cardstock is flat and any curves or bends are pressed out before printing.
Printing the Design:
- Design your image or text using sublimation design software or regular graphic design software.
- Make sure to have high-resolution images for best-quality prints.
- Print the design onto sublimation transfer paper using sublimation ink only.
Transferring the Design:
- Cut out the printed image from the transfer paper, leaving a minimum margin.
- Place the cardstock on the bottom plate of the heat press.
- Place the printed side of the transfer paper image side down on top of the cardstock.
- Cover with a Teflon sheet to protect from ink smudging.
- Close the press and heat at the recommended time and temperature for your paper and press.
- Open and remove the paper, revealing the now sublimated design on the cardstock.
Cardstock can now be used for making greeting cards, bookmarks, or other crafts.
Best Types of Sublimation on Cardstock
Here are the two best types of sublimation on cardstock that you can try:
Sublimation On Glitter Cardstock:
If you want to add some sparkle and shine to your projects, you can use glitter cardstock as your base. Glitter cardstock has a smooth and glossy surface that can accept sublimation ink well. You can print your design on sublimation paper and then press it onto the glitter cardstock using a heat press or an iron. The result is a vibrant and glittery image that will make your projects stand out.
Sublimation On Metallic Cardstock:
Another way to create stunning sublimation on cardstock is to use metallic cardstock. Metallic cardstock has a shiny and reflective surface that can give your projects a luxurious and elegant look. You can use the same method as with glitter cardstock, but make sure to use a lower temperature and pressure to avoid damaging the metallic finish. The result is a beautiful and metallic image that will impress your friends and family.
Pros and Cons
Sublimation on cardstock has some pros and cons that should be considered before choosing this method.
- Vibrant and durable colors
- No need for special coating
- Smooth and glossy finish
- High initial cost
- Limited to light-colored substrates
- Requires special printer and paper
In conclusion, while cardstock has a thicker and denser composition than regular printing paper, it is suitable for dye sublimation transfers when using the proper materials and methods. Cardstock contains cellulose which allows sublimation inks to penetrate and bond with the fibers. For best results, it is important to use high-quality cardstock specifically coated for sublimation. Following the steps of preparing coated cardstock, designing images, printing with a sublimation printer and ink, and properly transferring using a heat press allows vibrant and durable designs to be created on cardstock.


Ever since we first heard music from Phil Beaudreau at the beginning of the year, his voice has constantly been a regular in our playlist. After hearing a number of solo songs from the singer, we saw an unexpected appearance on the title track of Casey Veggies’ Life Changes mixtape, which certainly maintained his noteworthy buzz on the Internet. Phil links up with the affiliated Dawaun Parker for a track titled “This Is Why,” as the two put their notably smooth vocals to the test, containing a fitting verse to signal an end to the song. Keep an eye out for his forthcoming project titled ETHER, which happens to be one of our most anticipated releases.

O5. Inhaler technique and adherence
O5.1 Inhaler technique
Inhaler devices must be explained and demonstrated for patients to achieve optimal benefit. It is necessary to check regularly that the patient has the correct inhaler technique. Elderly and frail patients, especially those with cognitive deficits, may have difficulty with some devices. Correct inhaler technique is essential for the optimal use of all inhaled medications (Melani 2011) [evidence level I]. Ease of operating and dose preparation were rated as being the most important inhaler features leading to higher patient satisfaction and fewer critical errors in a randomised, open-label, multicentre, cross-over study of two inhaler devices (van der Palen 2013) [evidence level II]. An Australian cross-sectional study found that the proportion of patients with COPD who made at least one error in inhaler technique ranged from 50% to 83%, depending on the device used (Sriram 2016). The Lung Foundation Australia has produced a number of “how-to” video clips instructing patients how to use their inhalers. These are available on the Lung Foundation website at http://lungfoundation.com.au/patient-support/copd/inhaler-technique-fact-sheets. Lung Foundation Australia’s resource, Better Living With COPD: A Patient Guide contains an Inhalation devices chapter which can be accessed at http://lungfoundation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/08.-Using-your-inhalation-devices.pdf.
The cost of inhaler devices varies between products. As there are no differences in patient outcomes for the different devices, the cheapest device the patient can use adequately should be prescribed as first line treatment (NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination 2003). The range of devices currently available, the products and dosage, as well as their advantages or disadvantages, are listed in Appendix 2. Brief counselling; monitoring and feedback about inhaler use through electronic medication delivery devices; and multi-component interventions consisting of self-management and care co-ordination delivered by pharmacists and primary care teams have been shown to improve medication adherence (Bryant 2013) [evidence level I].
Pragmatic pharmacist care programmes may improve inhaler technique and refill adherence in patients with COPD (Tommelein 2014) [evidence level II].< Prev Next >

Today I’d like to share with you a crazy little thing I worked on during the past weeks: I redesigned all Watch faces and made them available as Sketch files for you to use in your projects or wherever you like.
All faces are 100% vector and make use of Sketch symbols for lightning fast customization: basically you just add the Face symbol to your project and customize its color and complications through overrides.
Today’s watch face is Color, with 30 circular complications in 25 color variants (sketch file attached).
I will release more watch faces soon, so stay tuned and spread the word 😊.
If you have comments or suggestions on how to improve the way the file is structured please let me know!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — A fight over Miami’s homeless population and public restrooms has resulted in a taxpayer-funded poop map.
Yes, each one of those smiling, steaming emojis represents a real squat spot.
Like any major city, Miami has a sizable population of homeless people — some of whom relieve themselves on the street. But a dispute has erupted between two publicly-funded groups over how to address the problem.
To pressure the local homeless agency to create more beds, the city’s semi-independent Downtown Development Authority recently spent eight hours touring the city, documenting every discovery of human urine or feces.
On Thursday, the agency in charge of reviving Miami’s downtown unveiled a detailed map to the city’s commissioners, the Miami Herald reported.
Other cities have done this kind of thing, but not with such a humorous flair. For example, someone used government data from San Francisco — always the techie city — to create a map called (Human) Waste. But that map used blurry, brown patches.
This Miami map makes use of the increasingly popular poop emoji you can find on your smartphone.
Sadly, this isn’t an regularly updated, interactive poop map. It’s a one-time snapshot meant to grab the attention of Miami’s lawmakers.
So, in all seriousness, why does Miami have a poop problem? Because people are there to notice. An estimated 600 homeless people have remained in the area for years. But Miami’s previously desolate urban core has experienced a condo boom since the recession, and the number of people living there has doubled to 90,000 or so.
“We invest money to keep downtown clean and safe. But we have a crisis now,” said Jose Goyanes, who owns a barbershop, two beauty supply stores, and two buildings in the area.
Goyanes helped put together the map. He and a friend drove around downtown Miami in a pickup truck, stopping every 100 feet to snap pictures. His friend, who previously lived homeless in the area, showed him the preferred human waste hotspots.
Goyanes later uploaded a poop-themed music video to raise awareness about the issue.
How does he know the feces was actually… human?
“The size of some of them!” he explained. “It would have to be a Sasquatch to do that. Unless we have six foot tall dogs, I find it difficult to think it was bears or cats rummaging in a metropolitan area of downtown Miami.”
Meanwhile, the head of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust said he doesn’t find this funny at all.
“I don’t think much of their poop map,” said Ron Book, who chairs the Homeless Trust. “These folks think I’m supposed to divert scarce resources and be on poop patrol and clean up after homeless folks. My priority is homes and getting people off the streets, not providing poop stations.”

|Subject: The Travel Industry and 9/11|
No! I am not afraid of traveling in these post-9/11 days. Since then, I have traveled to Antarctica, Chile, the Netherlands, China, Tibet, and Japan. In November I am going to India and Nepal. Other trips are in the planning stages.
I remember times in the past decades when terrorists were also hijacking planes for hostages or planting bombs. I still traveled! If I waited for absolutely no negative world events, I would be old and infirm and have never gone anywhere.
I must admit that since many do fear traveling, destinations are less crowded with tourists. That is a plus for the less fearful traveler. Have fun!

This paper describes two cases of prepubertal vulvovaginitis, presenting with a bloody and purulent vaginal discharge, separately caused by ampicillin-resistant Shigella flexneri and trimethoprim-sulfomethoxazoleresistant Shigella sonnei. Our conclusions are that Shigella spp. is the potential cause of vulvovaginitis in prepubertal girls in developing countries where these pathogens are endemic, and identification of the bacteria and making antibiotic susceptibility testing in these cases should not be overlooked. © Trakya University Faculty of Medicine.

Lawyers, Legal Aid & Pro Bono Services
Family legal professionals deal with a variety of legal points that pertain to the household. They could advise clients relating to divorce, youngster custody, and adoption proceedings. If you owe taxes or if you’re being sued by the IRS or other tax company, a tax lawyer is the kind of lawyer who may help you navigate the tax authorized system.
Also, some routine legal work could also be outsourced to different, lower value authorized suppliers positioned abroad. Lawyers need to have the ability to find those laws and laws which apply to a particular matter, so as to provide the appropriate legal recommendation for their clients. Many bigger companies’ summer affiliate programs are eligible solely to law students who’ve completed their second 12 months.
It’s not all exciting courtroom drama, news conferences, and grateful clients. Subscribe and get breaking information, commentary, and opinions on law corporations, legal professionals, law faculties, lawsuits, judges, and extra. As a practicing lawyer who moved into the enterprise and IT world, I must applaud Jordan for calling attention to the fact that it is time for the authorized profession to meet up with the rest of trade.
- As advisors, lawyers counsel their purchasers about their authorized rights and obligations and counsel programs of action in business and personal matters.
- All attorneys analysis the intent of laws and judicial decisions and apply the laws to the precise circumstances that their clients face.
After commencement, attorneys must hold informed about authorized developments that affect their practices. Almost all states require legal professionals to participate in persevering with authorized training either yearly or every 3 years.
Because of the robust competition, a law school graduate’s willingness to relocate and his or her sensible experiences are becoming extra important. Despite this need for legal companies, extra value competition over the following decade may lead law firms to rethink their project staffing so as to reduce costs to shoppers. Clients are anticipated to chop again on authorized expenses by demanding cheaper rates and scrutinizing invoices. Work that was previously assigned to lawyers, similar to document evaluation, might now be given to paralegals and authorized assistants.
Prospective legal professionals take licensing exams known as “bar exams.” Lawyers who receive a license to follow law are “admitted to the bar.” A bachelor’s degree is required for entry into most law schools, and courses in English, public talking, government, history, economics, and mathematics are helpful. The majority of legal professionals work full time, and many worked more than 40 hours per week.

The Grandview Education Foundation is celebrating 20 years of service and dedication to the students and faculty of the Grandview C-4 School District. On Thursday, April 26, current Foundation supporters and founding members gathered to celebrate the beginnings of the organization.
Former Grandview Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thornsberry was instrumental in the start of the Grandview Education Foundation (GEF), which was officially established in 1997. He shared how GEF began, and applauded the volunteers whom over the last 20 years have made the Foundation successful.
“I certainly want to begin my comments by congratulating those of you who have taken the Foundation and made it a success over the years,” said Thornsberry. “It is certainly reflective of the interest and the hard work that many of you have done. Really, it’s the work you’ve done and your efforts, rather than the idea and the concept, which should be celebrated.”
Prior to 1997, the late Roy Meyers, of Meyers Real Estate in Grandview, would drop by Thornsberry’s office to talk. According to Thornsberry, Meyers was one of a group of historically significant Grandview residents who were passionate about the community and the school district.
“Why Roy selected me and would visit with me, I don’t know,” said Thornsberry. “He was not visible in a lot of community activities or offices, but he was vitally interested in the image of the school district and the image of the community and how they fit together.”
Over time, the two talked about different ideas to help improve that image, and that’s when the idea of an education foundation surfaced. At the time, Thornsberry says there may have been only one other school foundation in the area. After discussions with other community leaders, it became apparent that the idea would be supported.
“I retired in 1997, right as this was getting started,” said Thornsberry. “A lot of the organization’s beginnings and board actions probably happened after I left. I do remember that everybody that we mentioned the idea to were very positive about it and would support it going forward.”
In the last 20 years, approximately $1,077,567 has been contributed to enhance the educational opportunities for students in the Grandview C-4 School District. Grandview Education has awarded more than 157 teacher and staff grants, and administered over $300,000 in student scholarships.
“There’s several people who deserve a lot of credit for the beginning, or the idea of the foundation,” said Thornsberry. “This is the first school activity that I’ve attended in 21 years of retirement. I’m really proud of our school district. I’m proud of this community, and I congratulate each of you who have worked to make the foundation a success.”
Current Grandview Superintendent Dr. Kenny Rodrequez has been active in support of the Grandview Education Foundation during his time in the district, according to GEF President Cindy Bastian.
“I don’t think that we can accomplish the things in this district that we need to without an active foundation,” said Rodrequez. “This one, in particular, has proven that on many occasions. We can’t accomplish our ultimate mission of educating every one of our kids without the support of the Foundation.”
Rodrequez said that the foundation is much more than providing scholarships for Grandview’s students and teacher grants; GEF is active in the community and provides support in the schools.
“We are still reaping the benefits of the creation of this foundation,” said Rodrequez. “But, ultimately, our kids are seeing the benefits. On behalf of the school district, thank you for everything that each of you have had to do with this.”
Bastian announced a new GEF scholarship, in honor of founding and current member Kathy Meyers, who has dedicated many years to the Grandview C-4 School District. She served as a Board of Education member and former president, currently works for the district, and is a Grandview alum.
“Certainly there are many people in this room who deserve this,” said Meyers. “Thank you, Dr. Thornsberry, for giving my dad an ear, and thanks to everyone all the way to the current Board, because it takes a lot of people, a lot of time and energy and a lot of dedication, and that’s what we have here. I can guarantee that my father would be very proud of what GEF has done over the last 20 years.”
Grandview Education Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to partner with the Grandview C-4 School District and the community to enhance educational opportunities for students and staff in the district. For more information, visit www.grandviewedfoundation.org.

Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day
Is it possible to visit Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa on one day Sri Lanka trip? Yes, but starting the tour from Dambulla or Sigiriya is very important in order to explore Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa in one day, because you have to travel around 150 km on this trip (suppose you start the tour in Sigiriya or a nearby place), the journey takes around 3 hours. And you also need around another 6 hours for the sightseeing; it means the entire tour lasts 9 hours…
In case you start the Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa trip from Colombo or any other beach resort on the west coast or south coast, it would be a daunting task to complete the trip successfully. It is due to the long journey from Colombo which lasts at least 4 hours. If you based in Colombo or in a beach resort on the west coast, it is best to plan a 2 days cultural triangle trip to visit Sigiriya Dambulla and Polonnaruwa.
Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya
Dambulla, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya are UNESCO world heritage sites. Visiting Dambulla, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya are top priorities for most travellers, especially for foreign travellers. All 3 cities are highly important tourist attractions in the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka and included in most Srilanka trip packages such as Sri Lanka 5 days tour to the cultural triangle. The trio hides some of the oldest monuments on earth E.g Dambulla cave temple dates back to the 5th century BC while Sigiriya rock dates back to the 5th century AD. Polonnaruwa was the second most ancient capital of Sri Lanka dates back to the 10th century AD.
Visiting Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day: is it possible?
The cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, some people call it the golden triangle Sri Lanka, includes many iconic tourist attractions such as Sigiriya and Dambulla. Visiting the cultural triangle allows you to see hundreds of crumbling historical monuments dating back to the 3rd century BC. But it is not only cultural and historical monuments to be explored on the island, but there are also so many other important places as well.
It is a common practice among travellers to allocate a few days for sightseeing in each part of the island. E.g the travellers plan 3 nights in the cultural triangle to visit historical monuments, then move to Sri Lanka’s upcountry to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Later the travellers move further south to take part in Sri Lanka jungle tours and visit wildlife reserves. And ultimately wind up their trips by visiting the west coast and south coast beaches.
Due to this common habit, most travellers visit as many sites as possible when they are in the cultural triangle before more to their next base. The travellers choose the best and most popular places to visit.
Why visit Sigiriya, Dambulla and Polonnaruwa
Visiting historical monuments in Sri Lanka is a popular activity among foreign visitors. Sigiriya, Dambulla and Polonnaruwa are UNESCO world heritage sites and important historical monuments. Therefore, all three places are included in most Sri Lanka road trips.
I receive many emails every week with a question like “Can we visit Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya in one day?”, “Can you arrange a tour to visit Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya? ”, “How long does it take to visit Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya?”. That’s why I thought of crafting this blog post, in order to give a complete picture one the day tour to Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, and Sigiriya.
Even though there are hundreds of crumbling ancient structures in the cultural triangle by far Sigiriya, Dambulla cave and Polonnaruwa are the most popular places in the cultural triangle.
When is the best time for the Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa trip?
If you are wondering what the best time of the year for the Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa trip, I would say this trip can be done throughout the year. Dambulla, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are located within the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka and all of these paces are in Sri Lanka’s dry zone. The rainfall in the dry zone of Sri Lanka is limited and most part of the year remains dry, which means the travellers can have nice sunny weather most time of the year. However, weather can be very wet during the rainy season and travellers need to keep an eye on the weather in teh area especially in the month of October, November.
Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa tour in a nutshell
- 07.00 am – Start the hike at Sigiriya rock fortress
- 09.45 am – Finish the Sigiriya rock hike
- 10.00 am – Drive to Polonnaruwa
- 11.00 am – Arrive at Polonnaruwa and start the Polonnaruwa city tour
- 01.00 pm – Leave Polobnnaruea historical city
- 01.20 pm – Lunch
- 03.30 pm – visit Dambulla golden cave temple
- 04.30 pm – end of the one-day Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla trip
Visiting Cultural triangle
Visiting the cultural triangle is a minimum 2 days affair but with a tight schedule and if you like to explore the cultural triangle at a normal pace with a bit of leisure you need to allocate 3 days minimum. Venturing on a cultural triangle tour such as 4 days Sri Lanka cultural triangle tour is an interesting thing to do because it allows you to see remnants of a well-developed culture in the past.
The stupendous Dagobas, interacting wood and stone carvings, gigantic granite statues and centuries-old paintings are the proof of this civilization. You will encounter many dozens of cities, parks, palaces and temples in historic cities.
One day outing to Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa, is it possible?
In this article, we are concentrating on one particular question that many travellers have in their mind as they plan a Sri Lanka trip. The question is, can we visit Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day? As far as my experience is concerned visiting the trio is possible in one day, in fact, I have done it many times. Here I’m going to show you step by step how to do it.
Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya in one day tour – how to travel
I presume you have private transport to move from Sigiriya to Polonnaruwa and later to Dambulla because it is very important to have a proper way of travelling between those sites in order to save time. If you resort to public transport it might be a daunting task visiting Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, and Sigiriya in one day. Usually, public transport is slow and behind the schedule.
Starting place of the trip to Dambulla, Polonnaruwa Sigiriya
You have to start the journey from a nearby place in order to explore Dambulla, Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day, because you have to travel around 150 km on this trip (suppose you start the tour in Sigiriya or a nearby place), and it takes around 3 hours. And you also need around another 5 hours for the sightseeing; it means the entire tour lasts roughly about 8 hours. Of course, you also have to calculate some time for a couple of rests (for lunch, to have a drink, to use the toilet etc) and therefore you will not be having much time to do anything else.
If you plan the trip from a faraway destination like Colombo or Kandy you have to start the trip very early (around 4.00 am) and the tour ends late at night. Therefore if you like to explore Dambulla, Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day from Colombo, Kandy or the west coast it is recommended to make it a 2 days tour. By making a 2 days tour you are not only able to visit Dambulla, Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day, you can also add few other interesting things such as safari, visiting the Pinnawala elephant orphanage, visiting a spice garden, and take part in Sigiriya village tour to the trip.
Visiting Sigiriya: the first activity on Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa one day trip
In this one day tour I suggest you start the tour as early as possible (around 7 am) and I suggest you visit the Sigiriya rock fortress at the beginning. You might wonder why I’m suggesting you visit Sigiriya early morning. First thing because you can avoid the strong sun rays and the heat, you are well exposed to the sun on the Sigiriya hike, since the hike at Sigiriya is an outdoor activity. You may find it inconvenient, if you do the hike during the midday, it makes you sweaty and tired. In fact, a visit to Sigiriya involves with few hours of steep climbing on 1200 narrow steps.
The early morning visit to Sigiriya rock also enables you to avoid the horde of tourist, who start to gather at the entrance at around 8 am and then continues until about early afternoon.
If you caught in the tourist traffic you may have to spend a few hours more for the climb, as there is only one narrow stair to climb the rock. Unusually the climb at Sigiriya lasts around 2 hours (both upward and downward journey) however this can be prolonged up to around 3-4 hours on very busy days.
Time management is important on this trip as you have to visit 3 major tourist attractions and travel around 250 km on the day. Try to limit the time spent on the Sigiriya hike to 2 hours, it makes the rest of the trip easier. Usually, it does take about 2 hours for most travellers at Sigiriya.
Early morning climb allows you to explore the archaeological site when there are fewer people on the site, which means you can explore the monument at your own pace (no rush) and most importantly no waste of time in the queue.
Drive from Sigiriya to Polonnaruwa
The drive from Sigiriya to Polonnaruwa takes around 1 hour and the distance to cover is 55 km.
Sigiriya to Polonnaruwa bus
However, if you opt to travel by public transport (bus) it might take up to 3 hours to reach Polonnaruwa from Sigiriya due to the few transit points. The first transit point is at Inamaluwa and the second transit point is at Habarana. There is no direct bus to travel to Polonnaruwa from Sigiriya, therefore you need to travel to Inamaluwa junction from Sigiriya and take a Habaran bound bus from Inamalkuwa. You will be able to take a direct bus to Polonnaruwa from Habarana.
Ask your driver/guide to take Moragaswewa-Illukwewa Rd, better known as Sigiriya shortcut from as you drive from Sigiriya rock to Polonnaruwa, If you take the main road (via Habarana) the journey will be prolonged by about 40 minutes.
Minneriya Elephant Safari with Sigiriya Lion Rock from Colombo-1 Day
Polonnaruwa is the 2nd most ancient capital of Sri Lanka dates back to the 10th century AD. Polonnaruwa hides a large number of historical monuments and most monuments are still in good shapes. Here you find many dozens of palaces, parks, temples, audience halls and many other historical structures that date back many centuries. Unlike in Sigiriya, there are no steps to climb in Polonnaruwa, but the monuments are scattered over a large area, in the ancient city. Therefore you have to walk or drive from one place to the other.
Since there is a large number of monuments to visit, a walking tour cannot be recommended in Polonnaruwa, however, you can rent a bike, and ride on two wheels in the ancient city. It is one of the best ways of exploring the city, which is cheap and most importantly you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding as you move around the historical city.
But most travellers are using their vehicles to travel between places and it is fast and convenient. The Polonnaruwa city tour lasts around 2 hours if you explore the city on a cycle and the tour lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes if you have a taxi.
Polonnaruwa is also located in the north-central province of Sri Lanka and share the same climate zone as Sigiriya, which means the weather in Polonnaruwa is similar to the weather in Sigiriya. Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya have the same weather conditions with less rainfall, high humidity and high temperature.
All activities in Polonnaruwa is also outdoor activities (except Polonnaruwa museum), but the green cover in the historical city of Polonnaruwa is much greater than in Sigiriya, that’s the difference between Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. Therefore you are not exposed to the sun in Polonnaruwa and shady trees give you the cover. Artefacts in Polonnaruwa spreads over a large area and people are also scattered and you don’t feel the presence of a big crowd.
Cultural triangle tour-4 days
The last temple to visit on the Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa in a one-day tour
I like to suggest visiting Dambulla golden cave temple towards the end of the one day tour of visiting Sigiriya, Dambulla and Polonnaruwa. The climb at the Dambulla cave temple is not as strenuous as in Sigiriya. With an easy hike that lasts no more than 10 minutes (maximum) you can visit Polonnaruwa at any time. It is quite easy to climb on Dambulla steps than in Sigiriya rock-cut stair, the latter is narrower.
The hike at Dambulla was much more strenuous and lasts much longer than today, a few years back when the travellers start the hike near the A9 main road. But later the management of the temple was given to another temple in the same area; thereby a new entrance came to be making the hike easier. The best time to hike at Dambulla is in the afternoon or in the morning due to the heat. Usually, the tourist traffic in Dambulla is much less than in Sigiriya; however, there are instances, in which a couple of hundred travellers flock into the cave. Most travellers visit Dambulla in the early hours and there are only very few people in the afternoon, it is due to the temple visit arranged in Sri Lanka tour packages.
The visit to Dambulla cave temple lasts about 1 hour with visits to all 5 caves and upward as well as downward journeys.
Sigiriya to Dambulla
The travellers can easily drive from Sigiriya to Dambulla by using public transport. However, you do not get trail transport on this route. The distance from Sigiriya to Dambulla is 17 km and it takes between 20-40 minutes depending on how you travel. If you have a private vehicle you can save time and drive Sigiriya to Dambulla in 20 minutes. If you opt for the public bus it would take at least 40 minutes.
Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa day trip in a nutshell
You need to adjust timing according to any other extra time that you required on travelling E.g. if you stay in a hotel in Habarana or Dambulla you have to add another 30 minutes for the drive from the hotel Sigiriya, which means you have to leave the hotel at 6.30 am.
- 7.00 am: Start the climb at Sigiriya rock
- 8.00 am: reach the summit and explore the ruins
- 8.30 am: start the downward journey
- 9.15 am: Reach the vehicle at the park
- 9.15 am: 30 minutes rest (near the Sigiriya rock you can find dozens of cafeteria and having a cool drink will be a good reward after the strenuous climb)
- 9.45 am: start the journey to Polonnaruwa
- 10.45 am: reach the archaeological museum and purchase the ticket subsequently see the valuable artefacts in the museum
- 11.30 am: visit the historical city of Polonnaruwa
- 01.30 pm: finish sightseeing tour of Polonnaruwa and leave the site
- 02.00 pm: Lunch
- 03.00 pm: Drive to Dambulla cave temple
- 04.00 pm: visit Dambulla cave temple
- 05.00 pm: leave the temple
End of the Dambulla Sigiriya Polonnaruwa one day trip
Apart from Dambulla, Sigiriya Polonnaruwa there are many things to do and see in Sigiriya and Dambulla. Safari at Minneriya national park, Habarana village tour, Pidurangala temple is some of them. But with the fully packed itinerary, you hardly have extra time to do other things on this one day trip. So it is recommended to plan a 2 days trip with 1 overnight stay in a hotel in Sigiriya or Polonnaruwa, thereby you can visit many inter resting places in 2 days along with Dambulla, Sigiriya Polonnaruwa in one day.
Visiting Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa in one day without the Dambulla cave temple
Visiting Sigiriya and Polonnaruwamin in one day is quite easy but you don’t save much by omitting the Dambulla cave temple from the Dambulla, Sigiriya Polonnaruwa day trip. You don’t lose much time by visiting Dambulla golden temple compared to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. And if you drive to Sigiriya, Dambulla is not far away from you, it is just a matter of 20 minutes drive to reach it. Unlike the hike at Sigiriya, the Dambulla hike is quite easy and it takes only 10 minutes to go up on the stairs.

Did you know there are currently around 28 university departments in England and Wales which run diploma and degree courses in police studies? The students on these courses often link their studies to promotion prospects. Most of the courses include the history of the police in the first year. The Open University also has an International Centre for the History of Crime, Policing and Justice.
No wonder then that the importance of the history of the police is increasing. All this leads to more public interest too.


Here’s the first look at Minecraft Earth in action
At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference today, Microsoft and Mojang showed off the first ever real-time gameplay for Minecraft Earth. Minecraft Earth is Microsoft’s new augmented reality game where players can overlay a blocky universe over the real world.. This new game comes out this summer for iOS and Android devices.
The demo starts with two developers building a small castle on a desk. The players are able to delete pieces and create new structures through their phones. At one point, the players even look at each other to see what their friend is using. After one player drops her avatar in the world, the other player’s phone reads her actions, and her avatar responds in kind.
After the desk demonstration, the developers scale the castle up. Instead of poking at a small castle model on a desk, the castle moves to take up the entire stage. The players then stand inside the castle and can walk around the digital space. As the presentation unfolds, the ground under the players explodes to reveal a cave. One of the developers gets in an archer battle with the skeletons underground before getting blown up by a Creeper enemy.
Players still need to gather building materials by walking around their actual neighborhoods and engaging in adventures. But once players have all the pieces they need, they can build virtually anything in the game’s AR system.

Hello Lovely Humans,
I want to start by saying thank you for reading this post (& for checking out my blog!) It is such an honor to have each view, like, and comment I get. MarandaTaylor is a dream come true.
I have mentioned it before and will mention it again (somehow it comes out within each blog post I have)…the topic of
Self-love is a subject that has many opposing views. Ultimately, to me, self-love is the intentional act of accepting oneself, fighting for one’s desires, and expressing love towards oneself. Self-love is not thinking that you are better than everyone else, but it is treating yourself with the same kindness you treat others with. Self-love is being gentle, gracious, and forgiving towards your being, actions, and body. Self-love is brave. Self-love is wild. Self-love is complicated.
Self-love has become one of my all time favorite topics. I believe that self-love is a journey, one we never arrive to a destination with. We are always learning new ways to love ourselves. And we are always presented with new opportunities to practice our new ways of self-love.
Now, I know that society hasn’t easily accepted self-love as a common practice, despite the strong efforts of men & women that are fighting to create a culture of self-love. Growing up, I didn’t know anything about self-love. I did not realize it ought to be a priority in everyone’s life. I never heard that my self deserved love.
If that is you, this is me telling you that your self deserves love.
Because society isn’t sharing about self-love enough…I want to. I want to share everything I learn about self-love and I want to constantly encourage those around me to love bigger and accept more.
Recently, I have been recognizing that there are so many opportunities for me to practice my self-love. Everyday I wake up and I get a chance to love myself more. But recently, I have been settling for convenience more than I have been choosing love. I choose convenience in my actions and choices. (For example, it is convenient to get some greasy food to-go as opposed to cook something healthy at home. Or it is convenient to not make my bed as opposed to take the time to create a clean atmosphere of a made bed.) I became convicted at the opportunities that I was missing.
I don’t want to look back on my life and see missed opportunities. So, I have been challenging myself to embrace the moments that each day has. This means infiltrating my life with things that make me feel loved. I want to decorate my life with things that bring me joy.
Have you ever spent quiet time with yourself to really discover what brings you joy? Have you ever spent time to ask your heart, what makes you feel alive? Well, I did that this past weekend and these are a few of the things that I have come up with…
a fridge full of fresh food,
essential oils diffusing through out my house,
sleep at a decent time,
long phone calls with old friends,
baths with a good book,
a clean and tidy home,
open windows at any chance I can get (in my house, my car, my office),
tween fiction novels,
face-timing my nieces,
slowing down for sunshine,
and journaling anything and everything that happens in my life.
Now, it might not seem like much but as I have been pressing in to this list of things that I love, I have been enjoying my days in a more fuller way. At the end of the day, I couldn’t tell you why I have had such good days but I think it is for pressing in to these things. I believe that it is these simple acts that elevate our lives from mundane to sensational. I believe that our lives can be full of vibrancy, but we have to actively choose that.
This topic of self-love is a big one, but it does not have to be overwhelming. Each day, you can practically love yourself. What is unique to you? More than just answering the question “how do you practice self-love?” I want you to feel inspired to put action behind your list of joy things.
It is people like y o u & m e that will create a society, a culture, of more love. So, start with yourself…you are stuck with you forever, anyways (;
Let me know in the comments what you did to spread more love today! (PS: Make sure you subscribe to my blog!)


First saw one of these 45 caliber Sig Sauer pistols when a friend bought one several years ago. Great pistols! Hard to find when I bought my first one and even harder to find now. I have several in the safe and have decided to thin the herd. This pistol features a melt treatment on frame and slide. SRT trigger system. Short trigger. SIGLITE night sights. Black polymer grips Nitron finish. This pistol has gone through a radical dehorning process which makes it ideal for concealed carry! Fit and finish are superb but barrel at ejection port does show some finish wear.
I require a signed emailed/mailed copy of your dealer's FFL as I will only transfer this firearm to a licensed FFL dealer. It is your responsibility to ensure that the firearm you are purchasing is legal to own in your city/state. It is not for sale where prohibited.

HARDEE COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A Manatee County science teacher faces drug charges after deputies say they found meth and drug paraphernalia at her home.
On Wednesday, Hardee County Sheriff’s Office deputies went to the home of Lakewood Ranch High School teacher Hollis Morantes and her husband Gabino Morantes to look for a suspect who was thought to have been at the couple’s home. Deputies were searching for David Alday on an outstanding felony warrant after he allegedly fled from the Desoto County Sheriff’s Office in a car that belonged to Hollis Morantes.
The Morantes let the deputies inside their home and consented to a search for the suspect. They also told the deputies that their .270 caliber rifle was missing.
While searching the house for Alday, deputies say found drug paraphernalia in plain view. They also saw methamphetamine that was within reach of the couple’s 5-year-old child. Deputies say Hollis Morantes admitted she had meth in her purse and that she had used it earlier that day. Gabino Morantes allegedly told deputies he had smoked meth that morning.
Deputies say drug residue that tested positive for meth was also on a straw among the child’ board games on the dining room table. In the bedroom, detectives found baggies, scales, pipes, synthetic urine, and a cleansing agent used for passing drug tests. Deputies say the couple admitted to using meth for about a year.
Hollis and Gabino Morantes were arrested and taken to the Hardee County Jail. They were charged with possession of drugs, drug paraphernalia and child neglect. Their child was picked up by a relative,
Deputies did not find Alday at the home. They say he had already left the Morantes’ house in one of their other cars.
Hollis Morantes is a science teacher at the Lakewood Ranch High School, according to the school’s website. The county school district officials issued the following statement Thursday afternoon:
“The Florida Department of Law Enforcement alerted the School District today of the arrest of Teacher Hollis Morantes. Based upon this notification, the School District is following all protocols and procedures that protect the safety of our students. The employee is on paid administrative leave pending a full investigation. This is our protocol for any employee arrested for a felony of this nature..
Records show that Gabino Morantes has prior arrests in Hardee for aggravated assault with deadly weapon.


It offers higher corrosion resistance against molten glass, and increases high-temperature strength. One important area of application for the new MoZrO2 glass melting electrodes is the glass production for the solar industry. To achieve the desired properties, the glass is refined in the melting tank using antimony oxide which can cause molybdenum electrodes to break rapidly. MoZrO2 can withstand these attacks much longer, preventing or significantly delaying breakage and electrode loss. In the SO4 refined glasses used in the container industry, the doped MoZrO2 glass-melting electrode shows much better corrosion resistance in white, brown and green glass. Laboratory tests showed that it can decrease the corrosion rate on molybdenum glass melting electrodes up to 40%.
Find out more about MoZrO2 on June 1st 2010 at the DGG & ESG conference in Magdeburg / Germany. Leading experts from the glass industry as well as PLANSEE specialists are going to present the newest developments and trends in glass technology. Besides basics about molybdenum, PLANSEE will present its new material for glass melting electrodes and new approaches to optimizing electrical heating in glass tanks.
The session serves as a platform for glass experts to discuss new developments and to transfer a broad range of knowledge to the participants. In addition to PLANSEE glass experts, leading speakers from other companies like SORG, GLASS SERVICE, Heraeus, Dunkl-consulting and DGG (Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft) will give insights into tomorrow’s glass technology.

A drill is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or driving tool attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used for boring holes in various materials or fastening various materials together with the use of fasteners. The attachment is gripped by a chuck at one end of the drill and rotated while pressed against the target material. The tip, and sometimes edges, of the cutting tool does the work of cutting into the target material. This may be slicing off thin shavings (twist drills or auger bits), grinding off small particles (oil drilling), crushing and removing pieces of the workpiece (SDS masonry drill), countersinking, counterboring, or other operations.
Drills are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, construction and do-it-yourself projects. Specially designed drills are also used in medicine, space missions and other applications. Drills are available with a wide variety of performance characteristics, such as power and capacity.
Around 35,000 BCE, Homo sapiens discovered the benefits of the application of rotary tools. This would have rudimentarily consisted of a pointed rock being spun between the hands to bore a hole through another material. This led to the hand drill, a smooth stick, that was sometimes attached to flint point, and was rubbed between the palms. This was used by many ancient civilizations around the world including the Mayans. The earliest perforated artifacts, such as bone, ivory, shells and antlers found, are from the Upper Paleolithic era.
A military parade (square bashing in British military slang) is a formation of soldiers whose movement is restricted by close-order manoeuvring known as drilling or marching. The militaryparade is now almost entirely ceremonial, though soldiers from time immemorial up until the late 19th century fought in formation. Massed parades may also hold a role for propaganda purposes, being used to exhibit the apparent military strength of one's nation.
The terminology comes from the tradition of close order formation combat, in which soldiers were held in very strict formations as to maximise their combat effectiveness. Formation combat was used as an alternative to mêlée combat, and required strict discipline in the ranks and competent officers. As long as their formations could be maintained, regular troops could maintain a significant advantage over less organised opponents.
Although the firepower of breechloading rifles and machine guns long ago rendered close formations in battle suicidal, modern armies still use parades for ceremonial purposes or in non-combat environments for their efficiency, ease of organization and encouragement of discipline. Roughly synonymous are "drill" and "march". The English word "drill" is of Middle Dutch origin, dating from the 16th century drill of the Dutch army of prince Maurice of Orange, which was widely copied throughout Europe at the time.
( TSX.V.VRR ) ( FSE.5VR ) ( OTC.VRRCF ) , the “Company “, or “VR ”, has received complete results from caustic fusion and mineralogy for all three drill holes completed into the kimberlite breccia pipe complex on its Northway property in Northern Ontario... That said, the new drilling shows that Northway may be either.
In July of 2022, two ponds in a park inside the town of Cyril were contaminated by 248,220 gallons of oil-based drilling mud that had been stored inside of tanks the operator, Stellar Drilling Fluid, believes were deliberately opened by a saboteur (a security fence around the tanks also had been cut).
We know the drill ... The deepest hole ever drilled was about 40,000 feet in northern Russia at the Kola Peninsula ... Scientists now believe that we could solve all our energy needs if we could drill down over 12 miles into the earth’s crust ... However, some adventurous firms are employing drilling skills they acquired from years in the oil industry.
We sent Laviea Thomas to One Out festival to summarise the dance music festival's Saturday takeover of AppsCourtFarm...Introducing his mix with his 2022 release Skinner got straight to the point and played a plethora of old-school classics from both his own discography (), to a genre-fluid mix of garage, drill, dubstep and grime flavours ... . .
... and chromium values suggesting lithium concentration in the wallrock are likely due to the influence of hydrothermal fluids.As part of our continued advancement to a maiden resource at Augustus, we are currently engaged in 3-D modeling of drill intercepts and surficial work.
In the oil and gas industry, they are used for collapsible applications in drilling operations as well as in pipelines containing oil, grease, or other viscous fluids.�Hence, these factors are expected to drive segment growth during the forecast period.
We’re drilling and completing more lateral feet with fewer rigs ... This was intended to aid the industry in its transition away from using freshwater in oil and gas drilling as it becomes scarce throughout the Permian, opting instead to recycle and reuse byproduct fluids like produced water.

Former European Athlete of the Year Christophe Lemaitre hopes to put behind him a frustrating summer this year and revisit his former glories in 2018.
The French sprint star, now 27, has announced he will be bidding for triple gold at the Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships, part of the inaugural multi-sport European Championships (see details below).
“Along with the coaches, we agree that if everything goes well, I can do big things in 2018. The main objective, of course, will be the European Championships in Berlin, aiming for gold on 100m, 200m and 4x100m," Lemaitre told the French website www.sports.fr.
In 2010, he pulled off this memorable three triumphs which contributed to him being voted that year’s European Athlete of the Year award.
He defended his European 100m title in 2012 and took silver in both sprints at the 2014 European Athletics Championships as well as getting the 200m bronze medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
However, several minor injuries derailed his ambitions of challenging for the podium again in London.
"My season was frustrating and I had a lot of injuries that prevented me from having my peak at the World Championships. I missed the final of the 200 by 0.02 (running 20.30 for fourth in his semi) but in Brussels later I improved my season’s best to a level (201.21) which would have allowed me to be in the final,” he lamented.
“The sprints are now very open, perhaps even more so in 200m,” he added, well-aware that in Berlin he will probably face the Turkey’s reigning world champion Ramil Guliyev, in-form Britons Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake and Adam Gemili as well as possibly Spain’s Bruno Hortelano, the latter determined to defend his 200m title won in 2016 after losing all of 2017 due to a hand injury sustained in a car crash.
Lemaitre though has other things on his mind, including completing his sports management degree in which he has just started his second year.
“I go to college in the morning at a college in Bourget-du-Lac (near Aix-les-Bains). Last year, I was working with the Aix-Maurienne basketball club, which is currently in Pro B (France’s second-tier professional league).
“This year, I will be studying what other options are available to sports people after they finish their career. For my part, I don’t see myself as an elite coach but I do want to stay in the sport.”
However, Lemaitre doesn’t see such a day as being particularly imminent, especially with Berlin looming up on the horizon.
More information on the 2018 European Championships:
- The Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships will be part of the first multi-sport European Championships along with co-hosts Glasgow.
- It will be a must-watch, must-attend experience that elevates the status of European Champions, uniting existing European Championships to celebrate the highest honour in European sport and celebrating the defining moments that create Champions.
- It is the continent’s ultimate multi-sport event, an 11-day celebration of European sport staged every 4 years.
- Seven of Europe’s leading sports (athletics, aquatics, rowing, golf, cycling, gymnastics, triathlon) will be brought together for the first edition.
- The European Athletics Championships in Berlin will be staged 7-12 August. The six other sports will be staged in Glasgow through 2-12 August.
- 4,500 athletes and 52 nations will compete across the seven sports.
- Potential TV audience of over 1 billion with millions more across multiple digital platforms.
- Over half a million spectators expected.

Author George RR Martin reveals that Game of Thrones’ spinoff Snow, starring Kit Harington, has already been in development at HBO for several years.
George R.R. Martin, author of the A Song of Fire and Ice novel series that HBO’s Game of Thrones is based on, revealed that Kit Harington’s reported Jon Snow spinoff series has apparently been in development for quite a while.
Along with revealing the working title of the spinoff to be Snow, the author dropped some details about the upcoming series in a post on his personal blog, Not a Blog.. “There are four live-action successor shows in development at HBO,” Martin wrote. “SNOW has been in development almost as long as the other three, but for whatever reason it was never announced and it never leaked… until now.”
Martin went into further detail about the other spinoffs in development and how he is involved with the production of all of them. “Word got out about three of them some time ago,” he wrote. “TEN THOUSAND SHIPS, the Nymeria show, helmed by Amanda Segel. SEA SNAKE, aka NINE VOYAGES, with Bruno Heller. And the Dunk & Egg show, THE HEDGE KNIGHT or KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, with Steve Conrad writing. I think some of these were officially announced; in other cases, news leaked out.”
Snow was first reported to be in development earlier this month. It was also reported to be taking place after Game of Thrones‘ controversial series finale, which saw Jon Snow exiled from Westeros after he killed his lover Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), whose ancestors are the focus of the upcoming House of the Dragon spinoff. Along with starring in the series, Harington himself was the one who brought the idea for Snow to HBO and Martin. “[Snow has] been created by Kit as far as I can understand, so he’s in it from the ground up,” Clarke recently said when asked about the show, which Martin went on to confirm in his blog post.
While Game of Thrones fans may be excited with the multiple projects in the works, Martin clarified that none of the reported spinoffs are confirmed currently. “All four of these successor shows are still in the script stage. Outlines and treatments have been written and approved, scripts have been written, notes have been given, second and third drafts have been written. So far, that’s all. This is the way television works,” he wrote. “Please note: nothing has been green lit yet, and there is no guarantee when or if it will be… on any of these shows. The likelihood of all four series getting on the air… well, I’d love it, but that’s not the way it works, usually.”

Consider Investing more with Bitcoin News
In the event that you are here, you’ve thought about Bitcoin. It has been one of the best progressive news includes over the span of the latest year or close – as an income sans work trick, the completion of store, the presentation of truly general money, as the end of the world, or as a development that has improved the world.

The idea is that the money can be exchanged transversely over widespread lines with no difficulty or costs, the reasonable administration would be spread over the entire globe (instead of essentially on the records of private associations or governments), and money would end up being progressively notoriety based and likewise accessible to all. The possibility of Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency all things considered, was started in 2009 by Satoshi, a dark expert. The clarification behind its advancement was to comprehend the issue of centralization in the usage of money which relied upon banks and PCs, an issue that various PC specialists were not content with. Achieving decentralization has been attempted since the late 90s without progress, so when Satoshi disseminated a paper in 2008 furnishing a response, it was overwhelmingly welcomed. Today, Bitcoin has become a typical money for web customers and has offered climb to a large number of ‘altcoins’ (non-Bitcoin cryptographic types of cash).
Bitcoin is made through a strategy called mining. Much equivalent to paper money is made through printing, and gold is mined beginning from the soonest organize, is made by ‘mining’. Mining incorporates dealing with complex logical issues as for squares using PCs and adding them to an open record bitcoin news. Exactly when it began, a clear CPU (like that in your home PC) was all of the one expected to mine, in any case, the level of difficulty has extended altogether and now you will require explicit gear, including top of the line Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs), to remove Bitcoin. In any case, you have to open a record with a trading stage and make a wallet; you can find a couple of models by means of looking Google for ‘Bitcoin trading stage’ – they generally have names including ‘coin’, or ‘market’. Resulting to obliging one of these stages, you click on the favorable circumstances, and afterward snap on crypto to pick your optimal money related guidelines.

Since March 2011, commercial use of the name "Château de Chillon™ " and two viewpoints of the castle are protected.
Switzerland’s most frequently visited monument has made efforts to protect its name and image from abusive use.
Chillon Castle wants to reinforce its exclusive rights to their use. The Federal Institute of Intellectual Property has recently registered trademarks of both the name "CHATEAU DE CHILLON™" and graphic reproductions of the castle from two different viewpoints (from Montreux and from Villeneuve).
These three trademarks were designed in collaboration with the specialised offices of Tradamarca in Lausanne, who also took care of the official registration of the marks.
Intellectual property rights of a historical monument are a first, and this protection provides the Chillon Castle Foundation with the exclusive right to apply the trademarks to a large range of products and services. The three registered trademarks also bring the castle into the legal sphere of events celebrities, as it gives the Foundation the specific right to authorise its partners "to associate their identity or that of their products with the values of originality, prestige and history connected to a unique site and building known throughout the world" (Swissreg).
Permission for all and any professional photography shooting, film shooting (including drones), radio and television programme filming is subject to special regulations and requires written authorisation in advance from Chillon Castle management. Requests must be received in writing to the address at the bottom of the page at least two months prior to the filming or shooting. A formal request must be made to the Management for any and all use of the image of Chillon Castle for commercial purposes.

Setting out involves interpreting design information and translating into recognisable gridlines and datums on construction projects. High accuracy and precision is paramount in setting out and we are greatly experienced in supplying a comprehensive service from start to completion of construction projects. More recently construction verification surveys have been demanded by clients where point clouds are compared to design and fabrication models.
Using the latest robotic total stations combined with a highly experienced team of surveyors we are able to provide a complete setting out service.
Click here to view our case studies
Monitoring the movement of structures caused by stability issues or construction activities has become an essential part of construction. It can potentially warn and avoid structural failure by allowing the client to react to any specified movement. Monitoring can therefore save both time and cost. Depending upon the client's requirements we can offer both manual (traditional) monitoring or automated monitoring.
The monitoring of structures has long been established as a service Gwalia Surveyors can offer.
Concrete & Structural Scanning
Concrete scanning is a non-destructive method of detecting, locating, and mapping concealed objects within solid surfaces. This solution can identify steel reinforcement, cables, conduits, and post tensioning without the need for invasive investigations such as breaking the concrete with trial holes etc. Concrete scanning is particularly beneficial when drilling or coring into concrete, walls, or structures giving the client prior knowledge of elements to avoid.
We can deploy the latest handheld scanners, GPR and detectors, to conduct this service. We can offer real time on site mark-up or post processed results and reporting.
Bathymetric surveys involves the mapping of the underlying bed of hydrographic features such as canals, rivers, and lakes etc. Data capture can be performed by a number of methods which range from manned survey vessels to the latest remote controlled hydrone. All survey vessels operate integrated GPS and sonar systems ensuring high quality data is acquired and delivered.
Once field data has been obtained it can be used to generate depth charts and plans, cross sections, long sections, and bottom profiles of underwater features. Output can be issued in a variety of formats, software, which conform to client technical specifications or the EA's.
Drone Surveys - Visualisation & Verification
Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are fast becoming a reliable, cost-effective method of data capture for use in many applications. The rapid development of this technology now makes previously hard to reach environments accessible. Armed with high precision cameras and sensors, drones can record and store data remotely from a position of safety. Together with advances in software development, drones can now be applied to a number of survey based, visulalisation, and verification activities of the built environment.
High quality imagery captured by drones can be processed using photogrammetry software to produce high quality point clouds. This data can then be used to manufacture an array of deliverables such as 2D drawings and 3D models, similar to the laser scanning process.

A field guide to Kenyan mangroves
Peronia spp. or Onchidium spp.
Zone: This slug-like creature can be found on tidal flats in front of mangroves.
Habitat: Open muddy areas Another smaller species is often found on the roots and trunks of R. mucronata.
Food: Sediment organic matter (see trail of excreted sediment in photo). Some species most likely feed primarily on micro-epiflora on mangrove tree roots and stems as is indicated by stable isotope studies (Bouillon et al., 2004).
Ecological notes: Occasionally seen on either sandy mud or dark organic mud.
Distinguishing characteristics: We found the sepcies pictured here on tidal flats and a smaller, darker species that appeared to be more strongly associated with mangrove trees.
Geographical range: Indo-Pacific (Richmond, 1997)

This easy Easter Creme Egg Fudge is quick and delicious. It has both Cadbury Easter Creme eggs AND Cadbury mini eggs for the ultimate Easter egg party in your mouth! And it's the perfect bake sale fudge. Making it in the microwave is faster and easier and there's no fussing with a candy thermometer!
Creme Egg Fudge is popular at Easter, but also makes a great spring bake sale item! It was inspired by my No Bake Easter Creme Egg Icebox Cake.
The first time I had one I was only a small child...The creamy white and yellow center just looked a little too real. It took me a while to wrap my head around and I'll be honest, at first, it grossed me out a bit.
However, after I ate my first one, I was in love! Easter cream eggs alone are amazing, but Easter cream eggs and fudge, well, they were just meant to be together...
For this Easter Creme Egg Fudge, you'll need these simple ingredients:
- 1 300ml can of condensed milk
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 225 g bag of white chocolate chips (about 1 ¼ cups)
- ¼ cup butter (unsalted)
- 12 Cadbury mini Easter Creme eggs smashed/chopped (affiliate link)
- ½ cup Cadbury mini eggs (colored) light crushed/broken (affiliate link)
💭 History of the Cadbury Creme Egg
The Cadbury Creme Egg has been around for a very long time! Cadbury created the first chocolate egg filled with sugary treats in 1875 and in 1923 they created the very first chocolate eggs filled with cream. But these chocolate eggs, as we know them today, weren’t actually invented until 1963 under the name “Fry’s Creme Eggs.” The name changed to “Cadbury Creme Eggs” in 1971. These cream-filled eggs are produced by many companies around the world and it's no surprise that Hershey's has market rights in the United States. You can read more about the history of the Easter Creme Eggs HERE.
🐇When and where to find Easter Creme Eggs
Although you can pretty much buy them any time of the year nowadays, when I was a kid, when the Easter cream eggs came out, it meant not only Easter (which meant chocolate!) but more importantly, it meant that spring was on the horizon. You’d understand that spring was just as exciting as chocolate if not more if you grew up in Winnipeg and had just survived yet another Winnipeg winter!
You can usually get these eggs at the grocery store ( I bought mine in January). But if you can't find them at the grocery store, you can find them online through Amazon here: Cadbury Mini Easter Creme Eggs and Cadbury Mini eggs (colored)! (affiliate links).
Kids love Easter creme eggs, mini eggs, or any chocolate eggs any time of the year, so I made these for a spring bake sale and they went crazy for it! It was the first thing to go and I wish that I had made quadruple the amount I made.
This recipe makes 25 small pieces (the size in the photos) but you can click on the highlighted blue servings number in the recipe card and adjust the recipe to however many servings you want.
So, if you are looking for an easy bake sale idea, give these a try!
But if you're having a bake sale after Easter, no problem; this recipe is perfect for using up Easter chocolate egg leftovers (if you actually have any).
Store this Easter fudge recipe in the fridge in an airtight container for 4-5 days. If you are just storing it overnight, you could simply cover it in plastic wrap.
This Cadbury eggs fudge also freezes well so you can make it well in advance! Just make sure you make 3-4 times more than you think you need because it will be a hot seller (especially if you put Easter cream eggs in front of it)!

But even if you're not having a bake sale or don't like overly sweet treats, you'll still love this quick and easy Easter Cream Egg Microwave Fudge (and so will anyone else you share it with)!
So, if you are looking for an Easter recipe for your sweet tooth, you'll love this delicious fudge!
📋 Microwave Creme Egg Fudge Recipe
- Spray an 8 inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Or alternatively, you can line it with parchment paper.
- Place milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in the microwave on HALF POWER /50% (this is 5 on my microwave) for about 8 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes and more (every 30 seconds) towards the end/last 2 minutes. You want to heat it just until the chocolate mixture is melted and completely combined. It may take up to 10 minutes, as the white chocolate chips tend to melt slower.
- Meanwhile, crush 12 mini Easter cream eggs.
- Transfer chocolate fudge mixture to prepared dish and gently stir crushed mini Easter cream eggs into mixture.
- Sprinkle crushed mini eggs on top of the fudge and gently press into fudge.
- Refrigerate until set and completely cool (about 90 minutes ) Slice into 25 (5 rows each way)squares and enjoy!
