The day started wet and dreary in Tokyo with no hope of seeing Mt Fuji. Lady Luck was on our side, by lunch time it was a clear fine day and we saw Mt Fuji all the way to the top, wonderful. The bus trip up was informative and leisurely, lunch was spectacular, the ropeway was great and the bullet train back to Tokyo was enjoyable not having been on a train that goes that fast. The tour company were very helpful as we wanted to change our pick-up point, nothing was to much trouble and everything went to plan Highly recommend this tour.
Greatly organized tour. Well worth every penny!
The staff are so efficient and friendly.
Awesome tour, so well organised it was impossible to get lost or late. We were able to see some great scenery. We couldn't see Mt Fuji since it was too cloudy (in autumn they say the sky is heavy, the clouds come down and so, you can't see) but hey, we were in the clouds and we took some scary picturse which are nice too. My favorite place was Nara, the buddhas and deers were incredible. By the way, the deers bow to you if you feed them just like people thanking you, amazing. The guides speak engrish but are so nice that you don't care. Try to seat in the front row, it's more enjoyable and you will understand them more easily. Thank you !!! We took good pictures and also thanks to viator, it was incredible.
Amazing experience. Beautiful scenery. Everyone was very nice. Tour leader was especially friendly and knowledgeable. Bus driver did an excellent job avoiding some nasty traffic and returned us to our destination in a timely fashion. My only complaint is that the temperature on the bus was very inconsistent. For some reason the air conditioning vents were not blowing air with enough velocity to cool the vehicle and at some of the lower altitudes it became quite stuffy and warm.
Had a great time, the guide was lovely, the bus very comfortable and the experience a must do. We did this trip the first full day we had in Tokyo and it was great to find your feet. Mt Fuji was terrific (I love horse riding and guess what was available at the visitors centre, it was fun). Lunch was delicious and very Japanese (I am a vegetarian and there was no trouble catering for that). The onsen was a must do, it was a very liberating experience.
Super great guide "Sushi". She really made the drive fun with lots of information. We were granted several good glimpses of Mt. Fugi peeking through the clouds. Nice ride on the bullet train back to Tokyo.
Very good. Unfortunately did not see much of Mt Fuji due to weather. Maybe more viewing options. Bullet train good but once again transfer back to hotel more desirable especially at end of long day. Tour guides great on both tours.
Wonderful day luky with weather beautiful view of mt.Fuji bullet train great.
A fantastic day out. We lucked-in with the weather and got some great photos of Mt Fuji. The bullet train was a tremendous experience to end the day.
Perfect day with hotel pick up on schedule and all sights visible with great weather. Guide very knowledgeable, but mumbled between sentences which made sometimes dificult to understand in back of bus. Would most definetly recommend this tour.
This tour was great well worth the money. Got to see lots out side of Tokyo. Quiet a long time spent in the bus but all good overall
We really enjoyed this day trip. Originally we thought we could do it independently but after some research decided it would be easier to go on a tour. What a great decision. It was lovely to sit on the bus and hear all the stories and information about Tokyo and Mt Fuji from our wonderful guide. We were lucky to see the mountain without cloud. The whole day was excellent.
I will take this tour again when I go to Japan! ^_^
We had a great day! Eight of us together - Picked up from our hotel, on time. The guide was excellent, her English was very good. We saw the top of Mount Fuji as the mist cleared - The driver stopped the coach so we could all get a photo! Lunch was very good, Japanese style. We got the bullet train back to Tokyo - It was very busy, but good. Will use Viator again in another city. :-)

Beautifully clear dark mahogany with a nice beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, plums, some roast, a touch of chocolate, and some cherry. Taste has a pronounced coffee flavor accompanied by some chocolate and roast. Full and rich, but only about medium body. Second swallow highlights some more roast and ash notes.
The beer is very tasty, but the richness of it leaves you feeling full and not really looking for a second pint. This is basically a session sipping beer. :) adamnowek (3505) - Brussels, BELGIUM - JUL 23, 2015

has had fewer days with cloud cover over the past half-century, according to
new weather station data. At the same time, however, the region has cooled and
evaporation has decreased suggesting instead the presence of more clouds,
which reflect solar rays and their heat. Researchers analyzing the new data
speculate that increases in pollution may be the culprit behind the paradox.
A team led by Yun Qian of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., looked at data taken from 1955 to 2000 from 537 weather stations scattered across China. They determined that on average, differences between night and day temperatures and the amount and duration of sunshine in China had decreased around 2 percent every decade, which would suggest an increasing trend in cloud cover. But, the team wrote in Geophysical Research Letters on Jan. 11, human and satellite observations told a different story: Cloud cover decreased slightly over that time period. Haze remained, however, measured by the stations as overcast days.
Chinas emissions of aerosol particles that create haze increased until the mid-1990s, according to state records, and have seemed to level out since then. Aerosol particles have properties that allow them to both scatter and absorb solar radiation, depending on whether they are made of sulfate (which reflects it) or soot (black carbon, which absorbs it). The mismatch between cooling and increased smog, the team says, reminds us of the complexity of aerosol composition and mixing.
In this case, the haze seems to have reflected more solar radiation, preventing it from reaching the ground. Less heat on the ground would decrease the evaporation of soil moisture, which contributes to cloud formation.
The key in this case was the fact that the cloud fraction was decreasing simultaneously with solar radiation, which gives the new report a unique angle on describing aerosols over China, says Mark Jacobson, an atmospheric scientist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. Jacobson hazards his own guess as to why aerosols might be further reducing solar radiation in the area: As the particles absorb heat in the atmosphere, the warmer temperatures keep water from depositing on clouds, as relative humidity increases. This lack of water leads to smaller spread out clouds in effect, blocking more solar radiation.
Despite their speculation that smog is responsible, the researchers wrote that people cannot expect a simple correspondence between pollutant emissions and solar radiation on annual or even decadal timescales. Still, Qian says that smoggy regions experienced a slight cooling effect, noting that the particle pollutants possibly offset the background temperature signals from global warming. The emission issue is very difficult to predict, he says, depending on Chinas future coal use and energy production, as well as environmental protection policies and the adoption of sulfur emission controls.
The research is a very clever study showing the impact of increased aerosol air pollution on climate in China simple measurements showing profound effects, says Russell Dickerson of the University of Maryland in College Park, with results consistent with satellite observations and past studies. Dickerson says that particulate matter in the atmosphere probably [has] large-scale impacts on chemistry and air quality. He sees the work as support for a call for action to implement methods for sustainable development in Asian industry, transportation and agriculture.

The clever rotary head lowers itself to a predetermined depth, then begins lowering the fruit into the bin and automatically rises to layer fruit as it fills the bin to a predetermined height. Soft and flexible rotating flaps ensure gentle handling, almost eliminating fruit to fruit contact bruising.
The RBF100 is engineered by Hortworx to accommodate the changing requirements of post-harvest fruit handling. Utilising the latest technology, it offers an improved user experience, simple construction which is easily maintained, and is energy efficient. The standard model plugs into a normal single phase power outlet and uses a maximum of 1.5A. 24V DC power makes it possible to be fully portable for out in the field or orchard, and with batteries and solar added, it is capable of off-grid operation.
The robotic bin filler has an easy to use intuitive touch screen where smart features are setup like variable fruit flow, variable flap rotation, pre-set filling upper and lower limits and bin change-over clearance heights and positions.
With its low power usage and quiet chainless transmission, it requires very little maintenance. Latest electronic design makes it IOT ready for integration into packhouse analytical data collecting systems.

Got your eye on a giant new flat screen TV, the latest mobile phone or that must-have pair of designer leather boots, but can’t figure out how to pay for them? Then the recent changes introduced by Fair Work regarding how annual leave accruals are handled might be just the thing you’re looking for.
Effective 29 July 2016, significant expansions to the terms and conditions relating to annual leave have come into effect under the majority of Modern Awards. Most notably the changes will allow a much larger percentage of Australian workers the opportunity to ‘cash out’ part of their annual leave, provided they meet certain criteria.
The amendment will allow employees to cash out up to 2 weeks of annual leave per 12 months. However, in order to do so, there must be a balance of at least four weeks leave remaining after the hours have been cashed out.
Cashing out leave involves an employee making an agreement with their employer to take payment for a set number of leave hours, without actually taking the time off work. This then allows them to receive a lump sum payment in addition to their regular earnings. As an employee can only cash out leave if their award or agreement allows it, these changes have given the choice to a much greater percentage of the workforce.
Another change that has been addressed in most awards is the option for an employer and employee to reach an agreement regarding payment of annual leave in advance of its accrual. Included in the ruling is how the employer can handle recovering the funds, should the employee leave before all of the hours have been accrued back.
In conjunction with this, some awards had previously stated that it was compulsory for employees to receive payment in full at the beginning of their leave period. These awards have now all had a clause added offering the option for payment to be paid in their regular pay cycle, as long as payment is made by EFT.
Employees with excessively large annual leave balances were also addressed. Clauses have been added to many awards defining what is ‘excessive’ and on what grounds an employee can be directed to take leave, including how much leave is to be taken and how much balance must remain.
To find out whether these changes affect the awards covering your workplace, more information is available on the Fair Work Ombudsman website. You can either read their general information guidelines relating to annual leave or refer directly to the award and read in detail exactly how it will affect you.

A couple of weeks ago, my bestie Cricket and her little man piled into my mini with me and my little. Thirty minutes down the road and it was all farmsville for us city folk! The boys loved it.
It was cloudy and windy but our littles didn't mind a bit. When they saw the tractors and the big mountain of rocks - they pretty much thought they had won the "boy" lotto.
Workin' a farm can be hard work even if all you do is moo at cows, slide down rock piles, sling a few shovels and eat some tasty yogurt. Whew, back to the city for these little buckaroos. xo


Ethiopia has been affected by several droughts over the last few decades, with the latest 2015 drought being the worst in half a century. Agriculture, being the predominant sector of the country’s economy, is rain-fed and is therefore most susceptible to droughts. Developing a reliable remotely sensed tool can help in reliable detection of drought. This project implemented a scaled drought index utilizing NASA’s Aqua/Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data to assess agricultural drought and its spatio-temporal characteristics at a regional scale over the last 10 years. The index maps and decision support tools were provided to the project partners to supply timely information for humanitarian aid, and to build their capacity to monitor droughts in the future.
Analysis of the time-series of mean annual drought index across the four climatic zones revealed that the spatial patterns of drought vary significantly with time. This is because the spatial drought patterns largely reflect the variation in seasonal precipitation due to Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITZC). We observed that the annual drought (for the meher season) was most prominent in NW Highlands and SW Rainforest in 2009, and in NE Highlands and Central Highlands in 2015. Both 2009 and 2015 droughts were associated with the occurrence of El-Nino events (NOAA, 2015), and 2011 and 2012 brought abnormally dry conditions in SW Rainforest, and Central and NE Highlands.


UBS Accounting in Malaysia is one of the biggest Accounting Software firms throughout south east Asia, suitable for any small and medium size industries, but for medium size company, there are few alternatives that works better! Compare to UBS Accounting, alternative accounting such as MYOB Accounting and Mr. Accounting seems to enjoy more user friendly experience.
However, all the above mention software is not suitable for company with the development team, because the source code based accounting software will be a better choice. 5 Reasons to choose source code based accounting:
Reason #1 – Save tons of client licenses.
Source code based accounting always comes with royalty free and re-brand-able rights, so the company can expand as many clients as they like without further paying any license fees.
Reason #2 – Business process highly automated.
With developer that able to modify the source code, they can basically design, modify and integrate the software to the company advantages. The power of customize software allowed highly automation between the different sub system, such as human resources, inventory, point of sales, warehouse and e-commerce. All data can be passed between the systems without human intervention, provide highest automation possible and better security control.
Reason #3 – Faster integration.
For general integration, this can happen in as fast as 24 hours through Stored procedure user interface! There is no need to export and import data between systems, all sub systems can pass data easily through stored procedure.
Reason #4 – SQL database power.
While another accounting system still using dbf files as storage, the source code based accounting mostly support SQL database, this give the company highest scalability and powerful integration convenient. For medium size company, the database can store life time data, up to terabytes of financial data without clearing!
Reason #5 – High expandability.
Developer can prepare any reporting requested by the company without limitation, they do not need to rely on vendor to customize the reporting for them. Report is a very critical component to management decision support.
Unless your company has a good in-house development team, you won’t be able to enjoy source code based accounting benefits, at most it is just another alternative accounting software to UBS Accounting!

Katie Rich at Cinemablend has compiled a Sex and City geomap (I am not entirely certain whether this is an advertorial tie-in or just an organic story, either way…) that shows their readers exactly where the gals found themselves in Manhattan at various points during the show and film. Rich gives better “real life” options to visiting the famous locales, like Sarah Jessica Parker’s own residence rather than the stoop used for Carrie Bradshaw.
The SATC Angle: The show’s production actually used about five different stoops over its lifetime, but this was the one used most frequently, and the one that’s a stop on the infamous Sex and the City bus tour. You’ve seen Carrie trip up it, flounce down it, chat with Big and other boyfriends on it. You can’t actually sit on it– the residents have put up a chain discouraging rubberneckers just like yourself– but photos are possible. Be discreet about it though– the West Village is still just about the nicest neighborhood in New York, and you don’t want to go about ruining it, now do you? I have no idea if this spot will actually be used in the movie, but I’d say odds are good. What would a Carrie outfit be if you couldn’t see her emerge from her front door wearing it?
The Better, Real-Life Option: Like I said, you can’t sit on this stoop any more, and seriously, don’t even try. Perry Street, and most of the other streets in the neighborhood, feature rows and rows of buildings with stoops where you can probably rest for a minute or two without getting into too much trouble. One spot you probably can’t sit, though: Sarah Jessica Parker’s house, just around the corner on Charles Street. Something tells me she’s got a security detail that would make fast work of you, tired feet or not.

Ariana Grande’s New Love: Meet Ethan Slater, Her ‘Wicked’ Co-Star!
The popular singer and actress Ariana Grande recently made headlines after announcing her separation from her husband Dalton Gomez, with whom she was planning to divorce. However, it seems that Ariana is wasting no time in moving on, as reports have emerged of her being involved with a new man. The lucky guy is Ethan Slater, a 32-year-old actor whom she knows from work.
Interestingly, Ethan Slater wasn’t a well-known name before news of his relationship with Ariana Grande surfaced, which is not uncommon, even for celebrities. So, who exactly is Ethan Slater, and when did he and Ariana start seeing each other? Here’s what we know about the man who might just become the next Mr. Ariana Grande.
Ethan Slater is Ariana’s co-star in the musical “Wicked,” in which he plays the role of Boq, a university friend of Elphaba (portrayed by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (played by Grande herself), and the love interest of Nessarose (Marissa Bode). The production’s Part 1 is scheduled to debut in November 2024, and filming commenced on Valentine’s Day in the U.K.

— Pop Base (@PopBase) July 17, 2023
As for Ariana Grande’s previous relationship, she and Dalton Gomez publicly announced their separation in January, putting an end to their two-year marriage that began in May 2021. This means that by the time filming for “Wicked” started, Ariana was technically free to date.
Ethan Slater had been in a relationship with singer Lilly Jay since their high school days in 2012. They moved to New York from Maryland in 2014, married in 2018, and welcomed a baby boy last year. Their relationship continued until recently, as evidenced by Slater’s anniversary Instagram post in November, where he expressed his love for Lilly Jay.

However, as fate would have it, both Ariana and Ethan found themselves single and ready to mingle. According to a source, they didn’t start dating until after both had broken up with their respective partners. Their relationship is relatively new, and rumors began swirling when a photo of them together, with Slater’s arm around Grande, surfaced from a “Wicked” cast celebration in March.
As Ariana Grande continues to make headlines with her personal life, fans and onlookers are undoubtedly curious about her budding romance with Ethan Slater. Only time will tell where this love affair will lead for the talented star.

Diablo 4 – Players Aren’t Happy With The Latest Patch Update
It’s important to understand why this recent update to Diablo IV sparked such a backlash from the community. From the game’s release, Blizzard has focused on the principle of player agency, allowing gamers to experiment with a variety of builds to create the perfect characters for their playstyles. With this patch, it appears that the developer has distorted this foundation, forcing players to rethink their strategies and play a game that they believe no longer lives up to their expectations.
The nerfs to the abilities of the various classes have reduced the overall effectiveness of popular builds, causing frustration among seasoned veterans who have spent hours perfecting their characters. The ability to unleash havoc and devastation with powerful characters is a staple of Diablo IV’s gameplay, and seeing this aspect diminished has led to a sense of disenchantment with the game.
The Future of Diablo IV
Despite the backlash, it’s essential to remember that this is not the first time a game developer has faced criticism for making drastic changes, nor will it be the last. However, Blizzard’s response, with its upcoming Campfire Chat, indicates a willingness to listen to its player base and potentially roll back or modify some of the changes that have upset fans.
Adam Fletcher’s announcement has indeed instilled a ray of hope among the fans, who are eager for a platform to share their grievances and suggestions. This move might even mark a turning point for the game, with the possibility of restoring the balance and bringing back the joy and excitement that has always been synonymous with Diablo IV.
Ultimately, the resolution lies in Blizzard’s hands. The company has the opportunity to make things right, and it’s crucial for them to prove that they can take this feedback into account, evolve, and continue to provide a gaming experience that satisfies their player base. Let’s hope they rise to the occasion and bring the heat back to the world of Sanctuary!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is the controversy surrounding the Diablo IV patch update?
A: Fans were not happy with the changes made to the different classes in the game.
Q: Which classes were affected by the patch update?
A: Every class in the game saw certain abilities being nerfed.
Q: Why is this a problem for Diablo IV?

The Ebro Battle
The campsite is in the middle of one of the bloodiest scenarios of the Spanish Civil War, the Ebro Battle. You can find signs of this conflict everywhere, for example, just in front of the campsite there is an old railway tunnel which is full of bullets impacts.
Although there are several points of interest indicated, where you can visit trenches and fortifications, the fact is that is full of them. Near the campsite, Punta del Duc and els barrancs Villalba dels Arcs are some of the most visited spots.
Ebro Battle recreation
Each year, the last weekend of July, the Ebro Battle recreation organized by the Museum of Fayón, is performed. It is a unique opportunity to experience what that conflict meant.
Ebro Battle museums
We have already talked about the largest museum of Spain dedicated only to the Ebro Battle in Fayón. Also in Terra Alta there are multiple interpretive centers and several indicated routes, including Punta del Duc. You have more information on the COMEBE website.

Harold Land: The Fox
Harold Land (tenor sax)
The Fox (Contemporary OJCD-343-2)
Composed by Elmo Hope.
Recorded: Los Angeles, August 1959
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
This may be the hottest hard-bop track ever recorded on the West Coast. Butler drives a blistering tempo at close to 400 beats per minute. At this pace, Elmo Hope’s chart is almost impossible to play. Yet the band clings together for dear life and charges ahead fearlessly. Land, who helped define the hard bop sound while with the Brown-Roach Quintet, offers up one of his most driving recorded solos. But then comes Dupree on trumpet sounding like the Angel Gabriel announcing Judgment Day. On the Scoville intensity chart for jazz solos, this one ranks somewhere north of the habañero. Can you play hotter than this? Not without melting the grooves on your LP.

This extraordinarily hipster burger and ice cream joint operating out of an Airstream at the William Vale Hotel offers “dairy dips” -- chubby swirls of soft serve dipped in fast-hardening glazes and covered with unconventional toppings -- alongside some pretty great skyline views. Head there just before the sun sets and choose from one of three varieties: the Jacker-Crax with buttered popcorn and salted peanuts, the Malter Cronkite with a vanilla and chocolate malt twist, and the Berry Gibbs with a strawberry glaze and whipped cream.
Prospect Heights, Gowanus, Meatpacking District, and Hell’s Kitchen
Named after a Walt Whitman poem, cult-favorite Ample Hills began its operation in Prospect Heights in 2011 and quickly expanded to multiple locations outside of Brooklyn, as well as supermarkets nationwide. It’s known for its over-the-top ice cream concoctions, like Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (a creamy vanilla ice cream mixed with chunks of St. Louis-style butter cake) and The Munchies (a pretzel-infused ice cream with bunches of Ritz crackers, potato chips, pretzels, and M&Ms).
New York’s first ice cream barlour (yes, barlour) is serving up ice cream that can actually get you buzzed. All of the flavors, which are inspired by alcoholic cocktails, are just below 5% ABV (the equivalent of a light beer). Between flavors like Maple Bacon Bourbon and Dark Chocolate Whiskey Salted Caramel, chances are you’ll leave feeling a little something.
Dominique Ansel’s summer-only soft-serve window is open from Wednesdays through Sundays, but it’s worth visiting before the end of the season. Here, you’ll find innovative takes on traditional soft serve that almost rival the baker’s famed over-the-top pastries. Ansel’s signature burrata soft serve is served all summer, and each month a new flavor will be introduced: Through July, there will be a cold brew soft serve with anise biscotti and milk foam, in August, the team has plans for a peach tea soft serve with honey roasted peaches and lemon powder, and in September there will be a dark chocolate olive oil flavor, accompanied by a fig agrodolce and sea salt.
Time has stood still for over 100 years at Queens’ Eddie’s Sweet Shop. The old-school soda fountain gets its charm from the wooden stools that shakily spin over the mosaic tiled floor, coupled with the locals who have been coming here since they were kids. All the ice cream (and most of the toppings) is made in-house (the tangy clouds of whipped cream are hand-whipped), and is straight out of another era: thick hot fudge and strawberry sauce are generously applied to scoops, while milkshakes whir and floats plop behind the counter. Perch yourself at the counter and treat yourself to one of the massive, overflowing sundaes, served in a silver tin cup.
Prospect Heights, Sunset Park, and Downtown Brooklyn
Eco-conscious, Brooklyn-based creamery Blue Marble not only boasts an ethical operation, it also uses all-premium ingredients (like organic dairy from upstate NY cows and fair-trade chocolate). The flavors are mostly the basics -- “elementals,” as founders Jennifer Dundas and Alexis Miesen like to call them -- along with a couple of elevated classics, like Mexican Chocolate and Midnight Mint Cookie. During the summer, Blue Marble sets up ice cream carts at Brooklyn Flea, Pier 6 (at Brooklyn Bridge Park), and Governors Island, so you can get your fix almost anywhere.
Lower East Side
Morgenstern’s is probably best known for its ridiculously priced, $20 King Kong Banana Split (made with bananas, five scoops of ice cream, sesame caramel, pineapple, and Luxardo) and elaborate flavors like Black Coconut Ash (which yes, will turn your mouth black), but it’s the reinvented classics that are actually worth seeking out. Here, there’s no such thing as a simple vanilla; instead, there’s Bourbon Vanilla, or Madagascar Vanilla, or Rose Milk. Coffee flavors range from Vietnamese Coffee dripping in condensed milk to a nutty hazelnut version. And rest assured, all are priced at a far more reasonable $5.50-9.50.
Mexico native Fany Gerson (formerly of Rosa Mexicano and Eleven Madison Park) started La Newyorkina as a humble stand selling paletas (creamy, fruity, or spicy Mexican-style ice pops) at Hester Street Market, before it became a full-fledged ice cream shop. The star of the menu, the nieve de garrafa, are traditional, handmade Mexican ice creams (like tres leches and horchata) that get topped with garnishes like spicy candied mangoes and pumpkin seed brittle.
What was once a 1920s apothecary now offers a vast assortment of over-the-top old-school sundaes, milkshakes, floats, and ice cream sandwiches. Brooklyn Farmacy brings on the diner charm, slinging everything from classic favorites like black & white milkshakes to novel sundaes like the caloric 99 Problems: a warm brownie topped with chocolate ice cream, doused with a vanilla milkshake, and finished off with a dark chocolate shell, whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and a cherry.
Lower East Side
il Laboratorio del Gelato owner Jon Snyder -- previously of Ciao Bella -- has been making small-batch gelato and sorbet using seasonal, local ingredients when he opened the original window-front business on Orchard Street in 2002. While the flavor list has grown past 300 at this point (including sweet potato, avocado, maple, pink peppercorn, and mascarpone), as well as the expansion of the operation, the scoop shop offers a rotating selection of 48 flavors daily, with the most popular flavors (dark chocolate, salted caramel, and vanilla) remaining in the case.
East Village, Williamsburg, and Chinatown
With all the artisanal, over-the-top ice cream scattered around the city, it’s become increasingly rare to find any that resembles classic, childhood flavors you cherished as a kid. Davey’s is that shop. Come for the nostalgic taste of strawberry, mint chip, and cookies and cream and the homemade waffle cones, cookies, and brownies, and let your legs dangle off a stool while peeking through the production window to see the ice cream churning in the back.
Taking influence from a popular Hong Kong street food, Eggloo opened its doors in Chinatown last summer to much Instagram fanfare. Starting with a base of Hong Kong egg waffles (a sheet of light and crispy cake-like balls) folded into a cone, guests can add on their choice of classic or seasonal ice cream flavors (from vanilla to green tea) before piling on unlimited toppings, including Fruity Pebbles, mochi, Pocky, condensed milk, and more.
If you’re particular about your gelato being from Italy, then Grom is the spot for you. Each batch starts its life in Turin where a “liquid mix” is created from locally sourced organic fruit, cage-free eggs, and other highly scrutinized sources. While the menu rotates month to month, flavors from the classic menu, like Crema Di Grom, a combination of pastry cream, chocolate chips, and homemade meliga cookies, are the most popular.
East Village, West Village, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Boerum Hill
It wasn’t too long ago that Van Leeuwen strictly sold its creative vegan and regular ice creams out of a roaming yellow truck. But even after expanding to several scoop shops it remains an NYC ice cream staple. If you’re a dairy-eater, don’t miss the honeycomb, Earl Grey tea, or any of the monthly specials (previous renditions include a black sesame ice cream with ash and chocolate cake, and a mango matcha jasmine). For non-dairy eaters, opt for the cashew-based vegan flavors (like chocolate chip cookie dough and caramelized banana nut), which somehow taste just as good as the real thing.
A neighborhood institution, the family-run Chinatown Ice Cream Factory has been scooping ice cream for nearly 40 years. Order from the “regular” menu, which offers Chinese-inspired flavors like Almond Cookie, made with Famous Fung Wong Bakery’s Chinese Almond cookies, or Chinese Red Bean. The “exotic” menu flaunts flavors foreign to China: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.
Lower East Side
This experimental ice cream shop brings an eccentric charm to the LES. Each flavor feels like an entire meal has been united in a single scoop: Ants on a Farm piles on the savory and the sweet, incorporating a mix of raisins, celery, and gianduja chocolate chips, while Olive Garden flaunts an Italian twist, with black garlic, olive oil, and a sweet corn crumble. You’ll also find ice cream pies and sandwiches (both of which can be added on top of scoops), like the Detention Ice Cream Sandwich -- malted vanilla ice cream rolled in Fruity Pebble dust and book-ended with Mexican chocolate brownies.
When a scoop of ice cream isn’t enough, just add a colorful cloud of cotton candy. At least, that’s the thought process at Wu Kong, a shop that’s garnered a consistent following for its unicorn-esque ice cream creation made by swirling pink or blue sugary cotton candy around a waffle cone, hence the “cloud,” resulting in an ice cream mountain topped with sugary treats like caramel corn and frosted animal crackers. Wu Kong also makes and an “ice cream burger,” featuring a thin, hollowed-out crepe-like bun, filled with the ice cream and toppings of your choice.
Part of the Momofuku empire, Christina Tosi’s playful bakery has made an inarguable impact on the New York dessert scene -- particularly when it comes to ice cream. Designed to taste “just like the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cornflakes,” the shop’s ever-popular Cereal Milk flavor is the perfect mix of sweet and salty, and truly does taste just like cereal milk. Top it off with some corn flakes or sprinkles, or twist it with one of their rotating flavors, like B’day Soft Serve.
Asian-influenced flavors reign supreme at this popular East Village standby, where on hot summer nights ice cream lovers overflow onto the sidewalk clutching cones. Tubs of orange creamsicle and cookies and cream are readily available, but your best bet is to go with one of the more unique, Asian-inspired flavors, like taro, black sesame, lavender, and green tea.
Lower East Side
Soft Swerve’s brightly colored, Asian-inspired flavors have been a hit ever since Ube (purple yam) became mainstream. The shop offers some seriously creative concoctions, like the Brooklyn Bridge -- black sesame ice cream, Reese’s Puffs, mochi, and a chocolate drizzle -- but the move here is one of the two swirl flavors: ube and macapuno coconut or matcha and black sesame.
Mister Softee will forever feel like the epitome of summertime nostalgia, from the charming yet irritating cyclical jingle to the old-school, food coloring-enhanced ice pops. But what’ll really bring you back to your childhood years is a cone of the chocolate and vanilla twist, dipped in chocolate, cherry, butterscotch, or fudge magic shells, and showered with sprinkles.
In 2009, Big Gay Ice Cream began selling its imaginative soft-serve creations out of a single truck. Since then, it’s expanded to three brick & mortars in Manhattan, a shop in Philadelphia, and even sells pints in grocery stores. It’s known for putting an eclectic spin on ice cream cones and sundaes -- all with humorous names, like the Salty Pimp (vanilla soft serve with dulce de leche, dipped in a chocolate shell), and the Rocky Roadhouse cone (chocolate soft serve with toasted almonds and chocolate-coated mini-marshmallows). Big Gay also uses its platform to donate money to the Ali Forney Center, an organization that makes a positive difference in the lives of homeless LGBTQ youth, by holding clothing drives and other initiatives.
Brooklyn Heights and Greenpoint
The sweetest reward after hauling yourself across the Brooklyn Bridge is a stop at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. Stationed in a ‘20s-style fireboat house facing the East River, the factory offers a trim selection of ultra-milky and creamy classics: chocolate, vanilla, coffee, butter pecan, strawberry, and peaches & cream. While the ice cream is satisfying on its own, you’d be unwise to skimp on the toppings and syrups, which are all made by the neighboring River Cafe’s pastry chef.
New York’s favorite burger chain is the perfect place for a summer day: a great burger, crinkle-cut fries, and rich, frozen custard blended with a myriad of toppings. The custard is served in a handful of ways -- as shakes, cones, and concretes (frozen custard spun with add-ins like peanut butter and chocolate chunks) -- and while each location has its own neighborhood speciality concrete (and seasonal creations), the ever-popular Shack Attack, made with over five different types of chocolate, including chocolate truffle cookie dough, is available everywhere.
If you haven’t tried Thai-inspired rolled ice cream, then you’ve definitely seen footage of it on Instagram. At 10Below, ice cream is smashed on a -10 degree surface (hence the name) with anything from Nutella to condensed milk, then delicately rolled into quaint tubes of ice cream. Among the list of artful concoctions is the S’mores Galore, which gets finished off with a torched marshmallow.
OddFellows is indeed odd. With over 100 flavors to date, and a passion for mixing savory and sweet, the shop offers out-there flavors like Buttermilk Honey Blueberry, Coconut Kaffir Lime Leaf, and Chorizo Caramel Swirl. The East Village location also specializes in DIY ice cream sandwiches, called Odd Pockets (essentially brioche sandwiches stuffed with cornbread ice cream, cornflake crunch, with a rich blueberry compote). Also, this summer you’ll find a special OddFellows Carnival pop-up at SoHo’s Chef’s Club Counter, serving composed dishes like the Concession Stand (caramel popcorn soft serve injected with salted caramel and finished off with salted caramel popcorn and chocolate pearls) and a variety of soft serve flavors like raspberry sherbet and tangerine.
While Chloe’s fruit-heavy menu might make it seem like one of those ice cream alternatives that’s entirely guilt-free but tasteless, it’s actually far from it. The fruit soft serve, which comes in banana, dark chocolate, mango, or strawberry, is arguably healthy, yes -- the only ingredients are fruit, water, and a bit of cane sugar -- but once you start piling on chocolate sauce, pretzels, and chocolate chip cookies (which you absolutely should), it becomes considerably less so.
Holey Cream’s build-your-own ice cream donut sandwiches are not for the faint of heart. Pick your donut, frosting, ice cream, and toppings, before cutting the donut in half to act as the “buns” for your sandwich. Indulgence is key here, so if you’re looking for a Nutella-frosted, strawberry ice cream donut sandwich with Fruit Loops and gummy bears, this is the place to find it.

"TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK POLICE RIOT AUGUST 1988"
Clayton Patterson will be in person to present the screening!
Special thanks to Kyle Aviles Timlin ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES | 32 Second Avenue | New York, NY 10003 | August 6, 2013 at 7pm more ►Tompkins Square Park Police Riot History
INFORMATION: Clayton Patterson’s life changed dramatically on the night of August 6-7, 1988 when he gained notoriety for videotaping the Tompkins Square Park police riot in which the NYPD violently clashed with protesters and park dwellers until the sun came up the next day.
In what was the first of many legal cases for Patterson concerning artists’ rights to their work and freedom of expression, he was arrested and jailed for refusing to give up his tape which is the only concrete account of what really happened that night.
The actions of officers against neighborhood residents, homeless individuals, affordable housing advocates, anarchists, squatters, and others resulted in the filing of over 100 complaints of police brutality.
This footage was important evidence in the investigations and legal proceedings that followed, and several officers were disciplined or criminally indicted. The city also paid an estimated $2-3 million in settlements to the injured.
Despite the tape’s infamy, few have ever actually seen it…especially in its entirety. Here, on the 25th anniversary of its creation, we’re going to change that.
Anthology Film Archives is an international center for the preservation, study, and exhibition of film and video, with a particular focus on independent, experimental, and avant-garde cinema.
Founded in 1969 by Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, and Stan Brakhage, Anthology in its original conception was a showcase for the Essential Cinema Repertory collection. An ambitious attempt to define the art of cinema by means of a selection of films which would screen continuously, the Essential Cinema collection was intended to encourage the study of the medium’s masterworks as works of art rather than disposable entertainment, making Anthology the first museum devoted to film as an art form. The project was never completed, but even in its unfinished state it represented an uncompromising critical overview of cinema’s history, and remains a crucial part of Anthology’s exhibition program.
In the decades since its founding, Anthology has grown far beyond its original concept to encompass film preservation; the formation of a reference library containing the world’s largest collection of books, periodicals, stills, and other paper materials related to avant-garde cinema; and a remarkably innovative and eclectic film exhibition program. Anthology screens more than 900 programs annually, preserves an average of 25 films per year (with 800 works preserved to date), publishes books and DVDs, and hosts numerous scholars and researchers.
Fueled by the conviction that the index of a culture’s health and vibrancy lies largely in its margins, in those works of art that are created outside the commercial mainstream, Anthology strives to advance the cause and protect the heritage of a kind of cinema that is in particular danger of being lost, overlooked, or ignored.

Relive the Tompkins Square Park Riots In Their Bloody Entirety
25 Years Later
Publised in: BEDFORD + BOWERY, New York, on July 17, 2013
Southerners have their Civil War reenactments but what do East Villagers have when it comes to reliving their defining battle? Just the annual Tompkins Square Park Riot reunion shows. But this year, on the 25th anniversary of that tumultuous night when cops went gonzo on a group protesting the park curfew (resulting in over 100 complaints of brutality), they’re getting much, much more.
Clayton Patterson, the Lower East Side documentarian/curator/artist/editor/historian/Bad Santa, writes in to tell us he’ll be screening his 3-plus hours of raw footage of the riot. (How did he film for that long without his iPhone battery dying, you ask? Well, first off, this was 1988 — way before iPhones. And second off, his wife Elsa Rensaa made charging runs while he filmed. If you haven’t seen “Captured,” the great documentary about this, watch it now.)
Patterson, who was arrested for failing to turn his footage over to authorities, will present the screening at Anthology Film Archives on August 6. If you’re prone to motion sickness, you may want to instead attend an August 8 screening, at the New Museum Theater, of some of Patterson’s documentary work — it’ll include shorter clips from his riot reel and a discussion with the man himself.
So what about those riot reunion shows? Well, they’re happening on July 28, and August 3 and 4. Expect the usual lineup of dubiously named bands (Transgendered Jesus, Sexual Suicide), bigger acts (David Peel, Reagan Youth), and appearances by counterculture legends like Norman Siegel, Ron Kuby, Penny Arcade, Jennifer Blowdryer, and at least one pie-hurling yippie.
This year, as you can see from the event page, there will also be after parties, films screenings, and a panel discussion.
Given current events, the whole shebang couldn’t be better timed.
REVIEW by DANIEL MAURER
Crackup at the Riots: 10 Laughs From the ’88 Tompkins Square Park Riot
Published in: BEDFORD + BOWERY, New York, on August 7, 2013
A slew of East Villagers — including poet Bob Holman and Times writer Colin Moynihan — shuffled into Anthology Film Archives last night to watch Clayton Patterson’s 3.5 hours of footage of the Tompkins Square Police riot, on its 25th anniversary.
Patterson introduced the rarely screened footage by saying the all-night riot (more of a stand-off or a shitshow, really) between park-goers and cops attempting to enforce a curfew represented "the beginning of the whole militarization of the police" that started in earnest during the Dinkins era. "In 1988 they couldn’t close a 10.5 square acre park in the Lower East Side," he pointed out. "In 2001 they could close the whole city in 2 hours – bridges, airports, subways, tunnels, all of it. And it started from here."
So yes, his Panasonic AG-155 footage is an important historical document, featuring cameos from East Village fixtures like Chris Flash, Jerry the Peddler and Father Pat, who scolds Patterson for filming an injured woman against her wishes. That incident might just be the most interesting thing in the film — especially when a neighborhood kid tells Patterson he’s gotten enough footage. "You never have enough," Patterson insists, saying it’s the only way police will ever believe a Puerto Rican from Avenue D, and asking him, "What are you going to do if you don’t have pictures?" (Patterson later refused to turn over his tapes to authorities because he didn’t trust them to do anything, he said.)
But the video also serves as a pretty great lookbook of the era: during the lulls in bottle heaving and baton twirling, one can’t help but ogle all the acid-wash cut-off shorts, perms, Fear t-shirts, and spiked mohawks (not to mention the long-gone Tompkins Square Park bandshell, which drew nostalgic applause when it first came into view).
And as it turns out, the footage — when not focused on gaping head wounds — was also good for some chuckles. Here now are the things that caused everyone to look back and laugh.
1.“This is kind of boring, actually.”
Sometime after 10 p.m. a bystander complains that “everyone’s just standing around. The cops are doing nothing.” Indeed, a lot of the footage consisted of people just standing around in chunky white Reeboks, swigging out of open containers and yelling, “Our fucking park!” After 1 a.m., though, the cops begin clearing out the park and things get real. Patterson has some advice for a pet owner: “Get your dog out of here, man – they’ll shoot him.”
2. The F.U. shirts.
Shortly after 3 a.m. a few dozen people sit down in the middle of Avenue A, facing off against a human barricade of cops. Two of the pavement squatters are wearing t-shirts that say simply “FUCK YOU.” Snazzy! The group proceeds to warble “This Land Is Your Land” and the national anthem.
3. Real Men Don’t Cook Quiche
During a lull in the action, Clayton inspects a hardcover copy of the 1982 bestseller. Didn’t see this one in the People’s Library…
4. “My brother’s a fucking cop; I hate him, too. You’re all fucked up.”
5. “You got a press card? Then why you taking pictures?”
In a moment that smacks of Occupy Wall Street, a cop tells Patterson that it’s illegal to film. Patterson bluntly informs him otherwise. (One thing we learned about NYPD cops in 1988 – most of them sported immaculately groomed ‘staches, and their primary method of crowd control was bellowing “Get aatta hea!” in a Long Island accent. Well, that and occasionally shoving unarmed women to the ground.)
6. “What you did to me was the same Nazi shit you’re complaining to them about.”
This line didn’t get a laugh, but it’s worth mentioning: Patterson says it when he recognizes a bearded dude in an “End Apartheid” shirt who, some months earlier, had chased him out of Central Park for supposedly bootlegging a band’s performance. The guy is sheepishly apologetic, but it’s around this point in the morning that the stand-off against the police degenerates into a mind-numbing mess of in-fighting and cross-talk.
7. “Unless you’re drinking bottles, don’t throw them.”
What the guy meant to slur was “no bottles!”, which is what the cooler heads had started calling out in order to discourage their comrades from dropping airmail on the po po. Didn’t come out right.
8. “Can we make it Wednesday instead of Thursday?”
Eventually, with the help of a priest, a neighborhood woman approaches a sergeant to propose a stand-down in return for a later meeting about the park. Instead of giving her the cold shoulder (or a bloody shoulder), the cop proves instantly amiable and amenable, though Wednesday works better for him than Thursday. Ah, the absurdity of a violent, hours-long stand-off coming down to a polite conversation about scheduling. Unfortunately, when the woman tries to announce that everything’s cool and everyone can go home, she’s drowned out by boos and whistles from her own people, and the voice of reason is soon screeching, “Be quiet! Shut the fuck up!” More laughs from the audience.
9. “Why don’t you work that crowd and get them dispersed?”
An imposing, Gandolfini-esque police higher-up calmly tells this to one of the protesters toward the end of it all, when cops are clearly ready to call it a night — even though there’s still a bonfire raging in the middle of Avenue A. After everything that had just gone down, this guy was now outsourcing crowd control to the crowd?
10. “If the cops aren’t here they won’t have people to throw bottles at.”
While everyone is yelling at the cops to “go home!”, one man tries to appeal to them with logic.
11. “Clean up your stupid horseshit, guys!”
Biggest laugh of the night. As the sun rises and cops leave the park, a small group pours in only to be greeted with a big ol’ pile of police-horse plop. Whatever – the people have the last say, as they head over to the Christodora condos to mess up the lobby while chanting “Die yuppie scum!”
Anthology screening uncut version of Clayton Patterson's Tompkins Square Park riot footage
Published in: EV GRIEVE, New York, on August 5, 2013 On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Tompkins Square Riot, Lower East Side documentarian Clayton Patterson is screening his entire videotape recording of what transpired that night. Tomorrow night the Anthology Film Archives is screening the entire tape — all 213 minutes of it.
Anonymous said on August 5, 2013 at 4:33 PM | I do want to see the film but 213 minutes? I hate that I'm too old to be able to sit through it.
Anonymous said on August 5, 2013 at 4:38 PM | The need to turn a rowdy night into a lifelong obsession and a holy day of sorts reflects the lack of any real complaints or for that matter purpose in the acolytes. Yes I was here for it, 2 blocks away drinking vodka on 5th street, missed the initial rush, was around for the peripherals. Sure the cops went over the edge, provoked to no end but still not the right move, remember back then this was a hated tour so the lowest seniority cops got stuck with it. So the kids in uniform let loose on the kids not in uniform, we all get it, got it, saw it. Hardly a lifelong cause. Correct me if I am wrong, was anyone even really badly injured, or bunches of bruises and bumps, street fighting stuff. Even as an old skool guy, that park was disgusting, people had loud drunk attitudes full time, and many did well to take a kick in the ass or punch in the nose. Haters please proceed.
ewingweb said on August 5, 2013 at 6:36 PM | I've got a 213 minute movie of this guy drinking vodka on 5th street during the riot if anyone's interested.
Ken from Ken's Kitchen said on August 5, 2013 at 6:52 PM | Ha ha, ewingweb!
Anonymous said on August 5, 2013 at 6:56 PM | Ewing this is me above checking in again, you have a very boring bit of film on your hands. A very handsome star tho.
Anonymous said on August 5, 2013 at 10:36 PM | I agree 213 minutes is too long. Is every moment necessary to experience? Every "So, where should we go next?" and "I'm almost out of tape."?
LUfromUNION said on August 6, 2013 at 1:59 AM | I don't think its as much about the.police brutality, as much as the police' behavior was symbolic of the coming war on poor people in the area. And that's what makes it a significant and symbolic moment, worth remembering.
Anonymous said on August 7, 2013 at 2:30 PM | tried to watch last night! I left an hour in feeling seasick!
nygrump said on August 7, 2013 at 3:51 PM | Yes people were injured by the cops. A friend went to the hospital with a concussion. She later got 25K for walking out of a club and being bashed by Law Enforcement. Tat guy Kramer from Letch Patrol was able to open a book store on 2dn ave from his payout after being attacked. You may also have forgotten these were the coke cops, protecting drug dealers and who knows what else. 4:38, tompkins was fucking the end of the world, $5 crack whores if you felt like getting a blow job in a cardboard box in the bandshell, but that has nothing to do with the cops rioting and assaulting citizens simply engaged in legal business. And what about covering up the badges - thats just lawlessness.
Anonymous said on August 9, 2013 at 11:30 AM | What's funny, is that there really was no 'riot'. Unless you count what the police did as a 'riot'. But then you'd have to call it a "police riot". And somehow, I have a feeling, using that term, those tiles wouldn't last very long.

As so often in life, the Fremont County Suicide Prevention Task Force has some good news and some bad news.
Good news – According to Community Prevention Specialist Tauna GroomSmith, Fremont County had the fewest number of suicides since 2001.
Bad news – Early reports show that numbers are trending back up in 2019.
In the words of Dick LeFevre, Member, Fremont County Suicide Prevention Task Force, “The work is not over.”
But how can you be a part of the work?
1. Take 60 seconds out of your day to become familiar with the subtle signs of suicide.
3. Consider joining the Fremont County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition and its workgroups, including the Suicide Prevention Task Force.
According to GroomSmith “There’s only so much the Coalition can do to prevent suicide. True prevention begins in the home, in the workplace, and with our friends and family.”
In order to truly advance suicide prevention efforts in Fremont County, we need to give it a face, yours!

In the work of the film slitter rewinder machine, the blade is particularly important, so how to choose the right blade?
The film slitter rewinder blade is one of the slitting machine blades. We can roughly divide it into two types: square slitting blades and circular slitting blades.
1. The square slitting blade is mainly suitable for the slitting processing of various membrane materials.
The most common type of film slitting machine is the three-hole blade. It is a very precise tool designed to reduce the downtime of the slitter during operation and high-performance shearing at all times. Choose a pneumatic slitting knife or a new non-pneumatic part from the high performance series.
2, the circular slitting blade is mainly suitable for the slitting processing of paper, aluminum platinum, thick sheet and other materials.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope honest trailer
The honest trailer for the original Star Wars makes its dissatisfaction with George Lucas’ tinkering to the series well known from the start, so much so that it refuses to call the film A New Hope. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to still love about the original’s iconic… well, everything.
Screen Junkies’ latest honest trailer takes both a nostalgically fueled look back at the film that started it all, as well as a less forgiving account of its lack of female characters and “the lightsaber battle where two old geezers poke at each other.” At the very least, their passion is on display when it comes to the debate, or non-debate in this case, of whether Han shot first.
Watch the trailer above as it attempts to question some of the stranger aspects of the film, what Darth Vader’s legacy would have been had David Prowse’s voice been used, and whether “Hayden Christensen’s acting choices were intentional” in the prequel films.
And for more Star Wars, check out EW’s latest cover preview coverage, including interviews with the cast of The Force Awakens, as well as EW’s impressions of Star Wars Battlefront, the latest game to channel the original trilogy.

COVID-19 Updates: Retirement Accounts; Stimulus Funds; Online Filings. The coronavirus pandemic has impacted millions, but you can still make moves to protect your financial future. Filing for bankruptcy will erase many bills while keeping most retirement accounts intact. Learn more in Laid Off Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Bankruptcy Can Help.
If you’re worried that you make too much to qualify for bankruptcy, CARES Act provisions ensure that receiving stimulus funds won’t affect your ability to obtain a discharge. Also, rest assured that you can file safely. Many bankruptcy lawyers will consult with you virtually, and bankruptcy filers now appear at the 341 meeting of creditors by video or telephonically. (In-person meetings will resume 60 days after the termination of the President’s COVID-19 National Emergency Proclamation.) Check the U.S. Trustee’s 341 meeting status webpage or go to your court’s website for details.
If you are struggling with debt, bankruptcy might be a good option. But before you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, explore alternatives to bankruptcy. In some situations, a non-bankruptcy course of action may be your best remedy. Read on to learn about the main alternatives to bankruptcy when dealing with debt issues.
Bankruptcy isn’t just for individuals with consumer debt problems. Filing can benefit a small business owner by minimizing personal liability after a company closure or by helping a small business return to profitability.
Finally, no one wants to file for bankruptcy. If you need bankruptcy help but have reservations, you’re not alone. Not only have employers laid off staggering numbers of workers due to the coronavirus outbreak, but companies large and small are closing at a record pace—and many businesses will seek bankruptcy relief. But that’s not as bleak as it might seem. Each fresh start—including yours—moves the economy, one step closer toward recovery.

Measurement of concrete clear cover in tunnel construction, bridges and retaining walls
Whether itâ€™s tunnels, bridges or retaining walls â€“ concrete clear cover surveys are an important quality assurance measure with numerous steel reinforced building elements.
With railway and motorway tunnels which, using the blast excavation method, are built as a twin-shell vaulted construction with an inner shell of vaulted concrete, a concrete clear cover survey must take place for reasons of quality assurance. Even with retaining walls and bridges, the concrete clear cover is being more precisely checked by an increasing number of construction clients â€“ for example in the case of flood water protection measures, new construction of railway and motorway tunnels or the rerouting of urban bypasses. The retaining walls assume an important traffic safety function here which is why the quality assurance of the concrete clear cover plays a particularly large role.
We implement the concrete clear cover survey using the Hilti Ferroscan PS 200 measuring equipment. We currently deploy six of these high-quality-units. Thanks to our in-house developed, innovative scanner extension, we are in a position to carry out surveys particularly quickly and efficiently. The big advantage of this to you means that up to a height of 5 metres, we do not require any scaffolding.
The concrete clear cover surveys in tunnels, however, constitute only one part of the work we do; the more crucial part is the evaluation and documentation of the measured results. Based on our long years of experience, we have developed a completely new type of documentation which gives our customers a more rapid overview of the measured results. To this end, all measurements for each block are illustrated in a coloured overview so that the customer can recognise all potential weak spots at a glance.

I see a light at the end of this tunnel
And my heart is filled with hope
I've endured this hostility for too long
I'm breaking free of this darkness.
But doubts collapse my bridges of chance
- Shielding the winds of change.
They crash like waves on our beach of promise
Leaving me to salvage my driftwood heart.
They whisper the warnings of sowing seeds
On barren and broken sand.
But dig deeper and fertility flourishes
Beneath layers of regret and dismissal.
The light that's burning bright afar
Is a riddle in itself,
Is it the star we're yet to reach?
Or a flashbulb doppelganger of memories past?
We'll never know until we reach it
Whether it’s momentary or magical,
Ships passing in the night or dropping anchor to stay.
Let's hope this lighthouse guides us home tonight.

FunNGames: Nine Dead
The Game: 9 strangers are kidnapped. Every 10 minutes one of them is killed, unless they can figure out what all connects them.
The Movie: There’s something about horror movies that is more about the characters coming to terms with the monsters that they are or never knew existed inside of them. I’m sure it’s a set-up I’ll see more than once this month (Well, I know Saw is on the list so cheating a bit), but it does work for the first movie of the season.
I think what really made this movie for me was the ticking clock, there’s an added element of tension when the movie focuses on how much time the victims have in-between kills and how they become more desperate and urgent when it gets closer to 0.
Where the movie falters a bit for me is the lack of creativity with the kills. Sure, back to basics is the key of the message, but everyone pretty much just gets shot. And as a mystery, there’s not a lot of the audience to go on, we uncover stuff as the victims do. Sometimes, it’s nice to drop hints so you’re ahead of the carve.
That said, I’d recommend checking it out. Especially since it’s currently free to stream on Tubi.

Growing Vegetables in the Arava
Exclusive interview with Rami Sade, the Agronomist of Yoffi Shel Yerakot Association
About the Association
The “Beauty of Vegetables” (Yofi Shel Yerakot) Farmers Association is a collective society (“Aguda Shitufit”) wholly owned by the farmers living at Moshav Ein Yahav (cooperative village) who market their produce through the Association. This Association was established 15 years ago to meet the farmers’ specific needs and overcome the difficulties faced by farmers working in the outlying regions when competing with large marketing organizations. Thanks to their united efforts these farmers now work as one large farming unit and thereby enjoy the advantages of a large scale operation. This initiative proved so successful that within a few years, additional farmers in the Arava region began to market their produce through the Association and they were soon joined by moshavim and kibbutzim (cooperative and collective settlements) from other areas in Israel. Today the Association’s successful expansion has made it Israel’s largest marketing association for fruit and vegetables.
The Advantages of Growing Crops at Ein Yahav
Growing crops at Ein Yahav is very different from farming in the rest of the country thanks to its desert climate’s many advantages. At Ein Yahav summer vegetables including melons, watermelons, tomatoes, and needless to say the renowned peppers can be grown in winter. The farmers of Ein Yahav owe much of their professional progress and achievements to the services available to them at the nearby research station, namely the Ya’ir R&D Station at Hatzeva. This R&D station can offer them novel growing technologies aimed at reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides, integrating natural enemies in crop management as well as new methods for cultivating crops in marginal soils. Nowadays in actual practice 100% of the pepper crop at Ein Yahav is grown using Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Innovative Cultivation Methods
Additional methods employed by the farmers at Ein Yahav include distributing beneficial insects in the fields as a substitute for spraying the crops with chemicals. Nowhere in the country is this method implemented to the same extent in any crop whatsoever.
Almost all the crops are grown here inside structures with nets to repel insects and reduce the use of pesticides, in contrast to growing crops in open fields as is the standard practice in other parts of the country.
All the activities of the marketing association are facilitated by returns from the farmers’ sales, and the knowledge available from research and development (R&D) comes free of charge. The Ya’ir R&D Station is financed by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet LeIsrael) and Jewish donors from overseas.
The farmers purchase the insects from two companies – BioBee and Yad Mordechai.
The principal crops and overseas markets
The leading crop is peppers (covering about 70% of the total area and about 90% of the crop is exported), followed by melons, tomatoes, eggplants, watermelons, dates and grapes.
The complexities of growing and exporting peppers grant the Arava region a definite advantage when competing with the developing world unlike what happens with the uncomplicated tomato crop for example. These complexities relate to the need to control many vegetal parameters in order to achieve high yields and this can only be done by effecting changes in the growing conditions during the season with optimum fertilizer, water and shading levels.
Furthermore the Arava farmers meet the demand for varieties of peppers that are in demand abroad, including the popular blocky type of peppers. They also supply the range of pepper varieties demanded by the market, i.e., about 70% red, 20% yellow and 10% to suit the specific demands in overseas markets.
Our main export markets are first and foremost Western Europe, followed by Russia (a market growing continuously) and then the United States.
As regards future developments Rami notes that with the major markets in the Far East closed to us for various reasons a search for a new crop to replace the peppers as the principal crop in the existing market is ongoing. So far such efforts have met with no real success.
The marketing strategy in Europe and Russia is based on several marketing channels including direct exports to chain stores such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s while some of the produce is exported to local merchants (dealers) who then sell the vegetables throughout the continent.

From doctors’ EHR notes to wearable health trackers to insurance claims to formulary information to medical evidence, market-access data is right there at our fingertips … but what do we do with it? Who is interpreting it for us, and how are we using it to gain insights and make decisions that can benefit everyone involved? A group of experts from across the healthcare industry — including Intouch’s vice president of market access, Peter Weissberg — gathered recently to discuss these questions and share their thoughts.

This book is absolutely adorable.
Elizabeth, a little brown bear, loves helping her father raising and lowering their flag every day -- she is his 'Flag Keeper'. When he is due to go on a trip for 3 days, Elizabeth asks is she can raise and lower the flag herself in his absence. He says she should wait for him to return. Wanting to prove to her father that she is capable of raising the flag on her own, Elizabeth attempts to do so, and things go slightly wrong. After a couple of attempts, she is overjoyed when she manages to raise the flag correctly on her own.
This book is fun to read, and the illustrations are delightful. I'm sure children will love the characters. The book is also educational as it teaches how and when a flag should be raised and lowered, as well as many other aspects of flag etiquette. This would make a great gift for a young child, and it's a great educational tool for older children, teaching them all about the American flag.
There's an interesting list at the end of the book of dos and don'ts with regard to the flag. The author has also added discussion questions at the end of the book, and activity suggestions.
