There comes a time in many people's lives when they realize they barely know themselves at all. If you've reached this point, there are a variety of methods to "find yourself." One of the best tools in the quest for self-actualization is the open road, and if you're up for such a trip, here are a few tactics that might work.
If you're traveling with kids, you're used to planning out a route in advance, but even if you're going solo, having the perfect route in mind is a big plus. Research, and then choose, all the sites and sounds along your route that appeal to you the most. Plan to visit a variety of sites, but leave some leeway in your plans in case something piques your interest.
While planning out the "perfect" road trip is one way of finding yourself -- and a great way to save money on gas -- hitting the road with no real plan at all has more of an appeal to some. Just have a general direction in mind and choose where the road will take you as it comes along. Your journey could include making random turns or choosing one of the top 5 driving roads. Either way, this is a great way to meet others who are doing the same.
Many people prefer driving at night, which means you'll encounter far fewer vehicles on the road. Additionally, this gives you the chance to stay in a certain town during the day and really explore everything it has to offer before hitting the road again.
Whether you're driving a 1954 Roadmaster or a new Buick Regal, you'll likely have the radio to keep you company. If you've decided on a more regional road trip, for instance, listen to local stations to find out what's important in certain areas.
For longer journeys, bring a self-help audio book that delves deep into the soul. Or clear your mind and think more clearly with hours of your favorite soft melodies.
Turning your trip into a risk-taking experience could be just what you need. This doesn't mean, of course, that you should engage in distracted driving or other risk-taking behaviors. Instead, head in one direction, even if the main roads don't take you there. Apply for different jobs across the country and then head out. Pack all of your things and decide to live in whatever town you end up in on Day 5 of your journey.
Of course, it's important to have contingency plans. You shouldn't, for instance, head in one general direction without having a map on hand. Taking risks can be a quick metaphorical road to self-actualization, but make sure they're controlled risks.
Finding yourself is a journey, so why not make it a literal journey on the road? It may take some time, but by engaging in the aforementioned steps, you might just find enlightenment after all.

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas has agreed to pay $650,000 to settle a complaint from state gambling regulators that employees sold drugs and let patrons use private bathrooms for sex and drugs.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board says the hotel agreed Wednesday to pay the fine without admitting or denying allegations. But the hotel acknowledges that regulators could have proved their case at a hearing.
The hotel's chief executive said in a statement Thursday that the hotel takes the issues seriously and has made changes to address them.
The settlement includes a $500,000 fine and $150,000 to reimburse police and Nevada Gaming Control Board investigators for the cost of an undercover operation.
The casino-hotel is owned separately from the restaurant chain with the same name.

The EU financially supports intensive agriculture, in Brazil farms that contribute to the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest with soy and beef production receive tax breaks - just a few examples of how state subsidies can harm nature and the climate.
A study has now examined the total value of environmentally harmful subsidies within all economic sectors. In the study, environmentally harmful subsidies are government programmes that promote unsustainable production and harm nature by worsening the condition of global ecosystems. The results are alarming: every year, at least 1,800 billion dollars are spent on subsidies that, for example, promote deforestation, the use of pesticides and the associated water and soil pollution, or the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of species.
Disaggregation of environmentally harmful subsidies
Financial support for fossil fuels and unsustainable agriculture, forestry and water management account for the majority of environmentally harmful subsidies (more than 80%).
The breakdown of subsidies by economic sector is as follows:
- Fossil fuels: $640 billion
- Agriculture: 520 billion dollars
- Forestry: $155 billion
- Water use: $350 billion
- Construction (including housing): over $90 billion
- Transport: over $85 billion
- Marine fisheries: $50 billion
According to the authors of the study, instead of financing environmentally harmful practices in the economic sectors described, the environmentally harmful subsidies should be transformed into financial support for nature conservation and climate protection. Thus, the former Secretary General of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, demanded at the presentation of the report: "Nature is declining at an alarming rate, and we have never lived on a planet with so little biodiversity. The harmful subsidies must be redirected to protect the climate and nature".
Transforming agriculture for nature and climate protection
As shown, agriculture accounts for the second largest share of environmentally harmful subsidies, with 520 billion dollars annually. This should not come as a surprise, as only last year a report by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) came to the conclusion that 90 % of all agricultural subsidies are harmful to nature. This also includes the distribution of subsidies in the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, which was negotiated in 2021 for the new subsidy period from 2023 to 2027.

The other day, my husband call me outside to witness something unusual. He’s been working on a new garden area in the back yard, almost on the edge of the woods, and he had transplanted some perennials and lilac bushes. He went out to water them and found a huge swarm of bees.
At first, we thought they were honey bees. It was hard to identify them; there were so many it was as if my backyard was buzzing! We watched them alight on the hard-packed clay soil, and they were definitely bees, not wasps, and the right size and shape for a honey bee. I assumed they were honey bees and we returned to the house, delighted to welcome the newcomers to the yard.
The next day, the swarm continued! Now Hubby noticed a series of hills, like ant hills, but bigger. There seemed to be hundreds of them scattered around on the soil in the backyard:
As we watched, a single bee shot out of a hole and flew away. What in the world was happening?
Thankfully, a few weeks ago I attended a lecture called, “Trees, Bees and Clean Waterways” so at least I knew that bees don’t always form hives. Some bees are indeed solitary, and some nest in the ground. A quick internet search revealed our new farm visitors as Solitary Ground Bees.
A few facts on solitary ground nesting bees:
- They build individual tunnels in the ground. The female lays her eggs inside the ground tunnel, and prepares a nutritious package of nectar to accompany her eggs.
- The new crop of bees emerges the following year – so I should expect a swarm again next March or April. Hurray! That’s when our fruit trees bloom, and….
- Solitary bees are great pollinators!
- They don’t sting, or at least they aren’t aggressive. Hive-based bees sting to protect the hive and their young, as well as the nectar/honey/food supply for the young. Ground-nesting bees, on the other hand, are gentle. You can mow or walk around them and they won’t sting. So it’s best to leave them alone.
Well, I hung up mason bee houses around the yard and didn’t get a single mason bee that I can see as a tenant, but my yard itself appears to be a welcoming place for ground nesting bees. If they pollinate my apple and peach trees next year, I’m all for it!
Here’s to pollinating insects and the wonderful ground nesting bee/

Ready to steel your nerves and go to some dark, dark places with us? Once you experience “Irreversible”, you’ll never be the same again.
On this episode of The Final Girl on 6th Ave, host Carolyn Smith-Hilmmer takes a deep dive into the shocking, hard-to-stomach, impossible-to-look-away from French film Irreversible from the terrible genius of enfant terrible Gaspar Noé. If this movie doesn’t scar you, nothing will. – Stephanie (Editor-in-Chief)
SHOW NOTES FROM HOST CAROLYN SMITH-HILLMER:
I don’t know if there has ever been a more difficult film for me to sit through than this one. Gaspar Noé’s IRREVERSIBLE (2002) gave me both a nightmare and an existential crisis. Viewed in reverse-chronological order, this film will leave you upset with yourself for having watched it and proud that you made it to the very end.
Irréversible depicts the events of a tragic night in Paris as two men attempt to avenge the brutal rape and beating of the woman they love. The film is made up of a title sequence followed by 13 segments made to look like long takes. Each of these segments is either a continuous shot or a series of shots digitally composited to resemble a continuous shot. The story is told in reverse order, with each scene taking place chronologically before the one that precedes it.
Critical reception was mixed, with praise towards the performances and the direction. However, criticism was strong for the film’s exceedingly graphic portrayal of violence and rape. It’s a film by Robert Ebert famously called unwatchable due to how nasty and violent it is. And no doubt, many will find this extreme horror film too much to take. But is there value in trying to endure one of the most notorious horror films of all time? Tune in as we discuss.

The Final Girl on 6th Ave is a weekly show where host, Carolyn Smith-Hillmer, dissects an arthouse/elevated horror film. Each episode includes a detailed play-by-play of the film itself and a subsequent deep dive into the thematic elements and symbolism. Because elevated horror is sometimes viewed within the horror community as pretentious, Carolyn makes sure to use her down-to-earth tone and unique perspective to make these films less intimidating for the casual horror viewer and less ostentatious for the genre lover.

This Wild Rice Stuffing has the same delicious flavors as traditional stuffing, but made healthier, lighter, and full of incredible nutrients!
What really gives stuffing the amazing tastes and flavors are the fresh herbs! We used sage, thyme, and parsley. We also replaced the bread with some wild rice! Wild rice is a nutrient powerhouse. Even if your family isn’t gluten free, wild rice is a deliciously healthy substitution for bread.
At our grocery store, it’s actually cheaper to buy an entire pot of herbs, than a small clamshell plastic container of them. I will buy a new pot of herbs every few months, and keep it in my window sill until I manage to kill it. But, I can always replace it for just $2.99! After I purchase herbs this way, I repot them in a bigger pot, and it helps them last a little longer.

An Unexpected Journey: Tiny Moves Across the Country
Life doesn't always go according to plan. That's what Alex found out when a kitty she'd once cared for was now in need. However, they weren't sure how to get Tiny to their new home many miles away. After some research, they found PetRelocation. Here's their story.
We used your service during a very difficult time for us. A foster kitty we had taken care of at 3 weeks old was dropped off at a kill shelter almost two years after being adopted. We immediately wanted to rescue him but had since moved out of state. After we got the kitty out of the shelter, we needed to find a way to bring him to our home 2,400 miles away. We connected with Allie and she was absolutely amazing. She was very empathetic and addressed all of our ongoing concerns. She walked us through the process and the pricing. The service was worth EVERY penny.
After Allie took us through the initial process, we were assigned our relocation coordinator, Mandy. Mandy was also amazing. She was very responsive and kept us to date on every step of our kitty's relocation. Our kitty is now home and thriving and we owe it all to these two amazing ladies.
Thank you for all your help! Your service truly changes lives.
Do you have questions about moving with your pets? Let us know! We'd love to assist you. And make sure to follow us on Instagram to see all the adorable pets, like Tiny here, that are always on the move with #PetRelocation!

Great scott! He wants to go back—back to Back to the Future!
Making sure all of our wildest dreams live on, Christopher Lloyd—in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter—said he’d love to do a fourth Back to the Future film. Assuming, of course, they get the entire team back together, including Michael J. Fox, Bob Gale, and Robert Zemeckis.
“It’s tough to come up with an idea that contains the excitement of the original three, so it would be a real challenge for the writers to come up with an original Back to the Future story that has the same passion and intensity and excitement as the other three. But it could be done, you never know.” the actor said.
With the huge 30th anniversary celebration going on this month (seriously huge—check out all of our coverage), and the arrival of Back to the Future Day (October 21st, 2105, the date the second film sent Marty and Doc to), it’s easy to see why Lloyd would be thinking about returning to one of his most iconic roles, even if the odds of another film are probably non-existent.
And as for that 2015 prediction from the second film, the one about the Cubs winning the World Series? Well, the Cubs did advance to the National League Championship series, only eight wins away from becoming the greatest prediction in movie history. If they make the World Series Lloyd would like to throw out a first pitch.
“Maybe it’ll happen. We’ll see. They got to get there first,” he said.
As a huge Back to the Future fan that would lose his mind watching Doc Brown throw out a first pitch for the Cubs during the 2015 World Series, all I can say is: “Go Cubs!”
Do you have any potential stories that would work for a fourth Back to the Future film? Go hit your head on the sink in the bathroom and come up with your best for the comments below.

The fort of Dabhoi is one of the rare surviving examples of Hindu military architecture, based on the shastri traditions described in various Vaastu scriptures.The architectural style and the exquisite stone carving and iconography on the fort walls and gates suggests that it was conceived and constructed in the same period as Rudra Mahalaya and Zinzuwada Fort. It is mentioned as an important city in the Jain inscriptions of Girnar.
It is a major Jain pilgrimage place. There are 6 temples. Shri Lodhan Parshvanath temple is main attraction. Dabhoi is also known for great philanthropist Shree indubhai sheth, He was one of the great son of dabhoi, and he was involved in lot of charity work.

Bharuch appeared in the historical records nearly 200 years ago. It is on the main rail line between Vadodara and Surat, about an hour from each. It is one of the oldest seaports in western India and flourished in the 1st century AD. Under the name of Barugaza, the town was mentioned by the Romans in 210 AD. It was ruled by the Gurhara Prince and much later came under the rule of the Solanki Rajputs. The Bhrigu Rishi Temple from which the town got its name (Bhrigukachba, later shortened to Bharuch) is on the banks of the Narmada River. It subsequently developed at the lowest crossing of the river, a point of strategic importance. The hilltop fort overlooks the wide Narmada River and has the Jama Masjid at its base. The Jama Masjid was built from a demolished Jain temple but in accordance with conventional mosque design. Just over 3 kms. west of the fort are some early Dutch tombs, overlooked by some Parsee Towers of Silence.
Kadia Dungar Caves :
Seven rock-cut caves and monolithic lion pillars are present at Kadia Dungar, near Bharuch. The caves suggest that they were viharas. A Brick stupa was also found in the foothills. These caves were in use during 1st and 2nd century AD.
Chhota Udepur :
Towards the border with Rajasthan, Chhota Udepur shares a history with Devgadh Baria and Rajpipla as one of the three princely states of eastern Gujarat. The small town sits on the edge of a big lake, with a series of temples along the skyline. The Jain temple is an interesting example of the influence of Victorian art on local building styles. Structures from the 1920s such as the Kusum Vilas Palace (also a heritage hotel) and Prem Bhavan are also worth visiting, though they need permission from the local royal family.

I live among crows. They fly in asynchronous formation through the fifty-foot redwoods that stand in great beauty beside a row of tiny apartments. This is the spot I love: the least accessible area of this large senior complex. I am a widower who seeks privacy.
In the midst of the city, this redwood grove is my sanctuary. The trees create a zone of protection from the fleet of tiny black and white cars known as the “Geek Squad,” set loose upon the neighborhood by a big box electronics store. A member of the Squad sometimes pounds on my front door while I am poaching an egg.
“Good morning, sir.” Seeing my confused expression, the intruder begins by rote: “We repair home computers. We offer hundreds of channels of cable TV. We can upgrade the sound system in your car for only a hundred and ninety-nine dollars.”
I send the young wizard away, informing him that I have no interest in modern electronics. I do not add, for I doubt he would take the time to listen, that my wife played for twenty years in a symphony orchestra. I am left with a stack of LP records and a turntable.
I wake up to the caw, caw of the crows. They navigate in wide swoops from the top of one great tree to the next. Their squawks pierce the air, obscuring the hum of the nearby freeway. I know their conversations as I know the notes of my wife’s Beethoven collection.
One late morning, a staccato of insistent cries breaks open my solitude. I step onto the porch and look up at the sound. A crow is caught, helpless, in a tangle of twine wrapped around a redwood branch. Somewhere in my mind I imagine a kite losing its way.
The screeches grip me. I run back inside to find the emergency number provided by management. I punch in each digit. A voice responds by requesting my apartment number and I blurt out, “A crow is trapped in the tree.”
“Is this an emergency?” the voice responds in a dry monotone.
“It is for the crow!”
There is silence on the other end of the line. From mine, the sound of labored breathing.
“I will send maintenance over.”
Within minutes a much younger man than I appears on the lawn. He has a wild look around his eyes and his front teeth are missing. If I had not been so desperate I would have retreated into my apartment and locked the door.
The man stands still before me. He senses my alarm and looks upward to the crow. “I’ll be right back,” are his only words, implying that I should stay where I am.
As my stomach contracts, my wife’s dying breaths break open inside me. I am at her bedside, blind, as tears drip from my chin and I cling to the chrome stand that holds the morphine drip. “It won’t be long now,” the nurse whispers.
I hear the man’s footsteps in the grass. He has a six-foot ladder over one shoulder and a professional, long-handled clipper in his opposite hand. Opening the ladder directly beneath the crow, he climbs to the top step and stretches his arm straight up, extending the clipper like a steeple.
“Don’t you bite me,” he croons. His arm remains steady as it nears the knot. The crow quiets. The man continues to speak in a soft voice as he snips at the twine.
I marvel at his ability to maintain his balance and hold the heavy clipper aloft with such precision. A miracle worker, disguised in a mask of madness.
As the man cuts, the crow begins to descend, still bound by the twine. It makes its body limp as it slides closer and closer to two human beings.
I clasp the twine and look directly into the bird’s black eyes. It stares back at me. As it is lowered onto the grass, the crow lies as still as death.
With the last few gentle cuts, the twine no longer binds the bird’s feet. The maintenance man and I step back, and the crow shivers for a moment before it flies to a high redwood branch that sways with the morning breeze.
As it caw-caws down to us I feel a sense of wonder, like being present at a birthing.
With an economy of movement the maintenance man folds up the ladder and collects the clipper and is about to walk away.
“Thank you . . .” I stammer, and he answers back over his shoulder, “Tommy.”
“Thank you, Tommy.”
I remain in the spot where human and bird connected. My mind is clear and open, a half smile is on my lips.
When I am able to move, I walk to my patio, pick up the lawn chair, carry it back to the spot and sit down. I notice only that the light has changed. That the treetops whisper in their swaying.
Neighbors pass by me on the way to their cars, walking their dogs, going wherever people go. From time to time, I wave to them. The crows provide the chorus and ride the wind.

With U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un trading insults and threatening war, California officials are taking the threat of nuclear exchange seriously.
Noting the heightened North Korean threat, the Los Angeles-area Joint Regional Intelligence Center issued a bulletin last month warning that a nuclear attack on Southern California would be “catastrophic” and urged officials in the region to shore up their nuclear attack response plans.
The report cites North Korea’s late July test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that could, in theory, reach the West Coast of the United States.
The 16-page “Nuclear Attack Response Considerations” bulletin is dated Aug. 16 and marked for “official use only.” It was circulated last month to Los Angeles-area local, state, and federal agency personnel and also throughout the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies across the country.
The idea behind the unclassified report was to share planning and guidance with as wide a distribution as possible, according to two officials involved in responding to a nuclear strike and who received the bulletin. Many agencies are involved in responding to an attack and are often staffed with personnel without access to classified information.

SOMERS POINT — Dora Israel lives in silence.
But when the severe June 30 thunderstorm left the deaf 76-year-old - who was one week removed from hip-replacement surgery - without power, the thought of also living in darkness frightened her.
“There were no lights and I was all by myself. I didn’t know what was happening or if anyone would be able to hear me calling for help,” Israel said. “I was so scared.”
An entire day passed before help arrived and when it did, it came in a surprising form - a cab driver.
Dawn Fuentes regularly drives for her husband Bris’ Somers Point-based cab company, Bris Transportation.
She was on the road when the storm hit.
“Trees were falling down all over the place and things were flying through the air horizontally. I saw things on fire and the sky light up with a green explosion. It was unbelievable,” said Fuentes, 39.
Israel is one of her regular customers.
“Miss Dora is such a nice lady, and so sweet,” Israel said. “And when you see someone like that so often, enough to know their routines, they become like an extension of your family.”
Bris Fuentes said the couple even visited Israel in the hospital recently after she broke her hip in a fall.
“We wanted to show her we were thinking about her,” he said. “We even brought her a little angel.”
The night after the storm, some of Israel’s neighbors - who regularly help her with small errands - stopped to check on her apartment, thinking she had already evacuated.
“When we got inside and found her, we could tell she was frightened. She was crying and disoriented,” said neighbor Ruth Barnett, 52. “We looked around for people who could take her to her sister’s house in Woodbine, which still had power, but everyone had already left. I didn’t think she was going to survive.”
Grasping for straws, Barnett — who, like Israel’s sister in Woodbine, does not drive — called Bris Transportation.
“I told (Dawn Fuentes) that Miss Dora was stuck here in the dark and in bad shape, but had no money,” Barnett said. “All she said was: ‘I’ll be right there.’”
Fuentes picked up Israel and drove her 15 miles to Woodbine.
The trip usually costs about $35 one way. Fuentes did it for free.
“She was so scared, I knew I had to get her to a safe place,” Fuentes said. “She can’t hear, she can’t see well and she doesn’t talk that well. ‘What if someone breaks in and finds her here? What would happen to her?’ That’s what goes through your mind.”
This gesture immediately relieved Israel, who started thanking God out loud as soon as she saw Fuentes.
“Somebody helped get me out of here. It felt good,” she said. “Oh, I was glad to see that girl. Whew, was I glad.”
Barnett called Fuentes’ actions inspiring.
“It was heroic,” Barnett said. “More people should be like that. Some people don’t give a helping hand to their own family members. She did this for essentially a stranger.”
Fuentes downplayed her act of kindness, however.
“We transport a lot of elderly people and we try to help them when we can,” Fuentes said. “It’s the right thing to do.”
But earlier this week, almost a month removed from the storm, Israel felt she still had some loose ends to tie up.
“I made her take the $30 for the ride,” the proud senior citizen boasted. “She didn’t want to, but I made her. … We’re settled up.”

|Cape Arago Lighthouse|
|Cape Arago Lighthouse from Sunset Beach|
The Cape Arago Lighthouse has had several locations along the rocky outcropping of Gregory Point. The first was done in by erosion and the unrelenting Pacific Ocean elements. Although higher on the island the second location succumbed to erosion as well. The third and present lighthouse stands 100 feet high and is only visible from the Oregon Coast Trail. At one time, there was a high bridge from the mainland out to the lighthouse station (to eliminate dangerous boat crossings), but was removed in 2012 to restore the natural coastline. This lighthouse is now privately owned by the Confederated Tribes, we believe, so to get the best view of this beautiful Oregon Lighthouse, we had to drive out to Sunset Bay or Shore Acres State Parks.
Situated in one of the most scenic areas on the Oregon coast, Sunset Bay State Park features beautiful sandy beaches protected by towering sea cliffs. A network of hiking trails connects Sunset Bay with nearby Shore Acres and Cape Arago State Parks. Hiking these trails will give you a chance to experience pristine coastal forests, seasonal wildflowers and spectacular ocean vistas from atop the rugged cliffs and headlands.
|Strange rock formations at Shore Acres|
Shore Acres Park is located on the Cape Arago Highway, 13 miles southwest of Coos Bay/North Bend and U.S. Highway 101. Perched on rugged sandstone cliffs high above the ocean, Shore Acres State Park is an exciting and unexpected combination of beautiful natural and constructed features. Once the grand estate of pioneer timber baron Louis Simpson, Shore Acres features lushly planted gardens with plants and flowers from all over the world. We strolled along a trail that hugged the cliff's edge to see spectacular ocean vistas with waves crashing against strange looking rock formations. We could see evidence, in the form of tennis courts, of the Simpson's vanished mansion.
|Evidence of Simpson Mansion|
After a short hike we were ready to find our way back to Highway 101 and continue south on the Oregon Coast towards Bandon, Oregon.

We are a society that lives by the clock.
We almost all wear watches, and we glance at our watches a lot.
Time is something that we can’t see, but it is a big factor in our lives.
How many times a day do you look at a watch or a clock?
I bet you’d be surprised at just how many times you do.

Bubbly flows are characterised by instabilities that appear in the form of elongated meso-scale structures aligned along the direction of gravity. The instabilities result in a non-homogeneous distribution of the gas fraction in the system where high-cluster and high-voidage regions coexist. The correct prediction of the meso-scale dynamics is fundamental to formulate more accurate closure models for coarse-grained simulations applied to design systems of industrial scale. Two different frameworks are compared to test their capability of capturing the characteristic meso-scale structures: the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model and a Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. We show that the Eulerian-Eulerian simulations are affected at low bubble loadings by unphysical numerical instabilities appearing due to the lack of hyperbolicity of the governing equation system. Unfortunately, the occurrence of the numerical instabilities cannot be predicted a priori, but when they are not present in the solution, the two frameworks are able to predict the same meso-scale dynamics. Our analysis suggests that, concerning meso-scale simulations, the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach produces physically faithful results and represents an ideal framework to formulate new closure models.

CBRE Global Investors, through one of its sponsored funds, has acquired an 889,608-square-foot bulk logistics property in Aberdeen, Maryland.
Fund now owns 2.24 million square feet of logistics space in Harford/Cecil County Submarket, said CBRE Global Investors.
The logistics property, located at 601 Chelsea Road, is situated 40 minutes northeast of Baltimore, Md. and is 100 percent leased to Rite Aid of Maryland, Inc.
601 Chelsea Road sits on 126 acres and features 36’–38′ clear height, 55′ x 52′ column spacing, a power capacity of 12,000 amps 277/480-volt, 80,000 square feet of temperature-controlled space, ESFR sprinklers, 128 dock doors, two drive-in doors, 248 trailer parking spaces, and 893 auto parking spaces.
“We believe that the site at 601 Chelsea Road is ideal for today’s modern bulk user, providing access to Baltimore’s deep-water port and connectivity to strategic markets along the I-95 corridor. Additionally, the low site coverage allows for future flexibility to provide additional trailer and auto parking or expand the facility by 300,000 square feet,” said James Munsell, Director of Commercial Acquisitions for CBRE Global Investors. “Since acquiring a 1.35-million-square-foot industrial portfolio across the road earlier this year, our team has continued to see strong demand for bulk warehouse space and the addition of 601 Chelsea Road will create synergies with our existing portfolio.”
601 Chelsea Road is in Maryland’s Harford/Cecil County submarket, which is the largest in the MSA. This location provides users access to a population of 15 million within a 90-minute drive with the ability to reach one third of the U.S. population within a one-day drive. In addition to both a deep labor pool and consumers population, the location provides users access to the Port of Baltimore, CSX and Norfolk Southern freight services, and the BWI Airport.

Pantone Names 'Very Peri' As The Colour Of The Year For 2022
Pantone's Colour Of The Year in 2021 was a moody grey called the Ultimate Grey. The colour rightly signified the emotions felt by people across the globe as we all went to a grim period of time. However, things are beginning to look up a bit and Pantone's Colour Of The Year for 2022 reflects that shift in emotion. Created by Pantone's colour experts, 2022 marks a first for Pantone as they have created a custom shade for the upcoming year that hopes to represent a brighter and more optimistic future. Named 'Very Peri', Pantone describes the shade as, "a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet-red undertone that blends the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red."
Pantone's Colour Of The Year always manages to encapsulate the collective emotions of the people and transform them into a colour that displays it best. Colours and visual aid majorly make up for a means of communication with people and hence this time around, Pantone decided to create a custom shade that combines the coolness of blue with the fiery nature of red to create a shade that gives us a middle ground.
In a statement released on social media, Pantone said, "We are living in transformative times. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. As we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways. Digital design helps us to stretch the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world where we can explore and create new colour possibilities. With trends in gaming, the expanding popularity of the metaverse and the rising artistic community in the digital space PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri illustrates the fusion of modern life and how colour trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa."
The colour itself isn't something you haven't seen before. Seen occurring naturally in nature in the form of periwinkle flowers and more, it has also been a staple in the fashion world. Kylie Jenner wore a very similar hued outfit at the 2019 Met Gala. The lovely lilac shade is one-of-a-kind and works in multiple colour combinations, may those be cool neutrals or peppy bold shades. Already seen on the runway at Miu Miu, Chanel, Phillip Lim and more, the colour is quickly making its way everywhere.

This workshop has been deprecated and archived. The new Amazon EKS Workshop is now available at www.eksworkshop.com.
The first step of this process is to upgrade the EKS Control Plane.
Since we used eksctl to provision our cluster we’ll use that tool to do our upgrade as well.
First we’ll run this command
eksctl upgrade cluster --name=eksworkshop-eksctl
You’ll see in the output that it found our cluster, worked out that it is 1.21 and the next version is 1.22 (you can only go to the next version with EKS) and that everything is ready for us to proceed with an upgrade.
$ eksctl upgrade cluster --name=eksworkshop-eksctl
[ℹ] eksctl version 0.66.0
[ℹ] using region us-west-2
[ℹ] (plan) would upgrade cluster "eksworkshop-eksctl" control plane from current version "1.21" to "1.22"
[ℹ] re-building cluster stack "eksctl-eksworkshop-eksctl-cluster"
[✔] all resources in cluster stack "eksctl-eksworkshop-eksctl-cluster" are up-to-date
[ℹ] checking security group configuration for all nodegroups
[ℹ] all nodegroups have up-to-date configuration
[!] no changes were applied, run again with '--approve' to apply the changes
We’ll run it again with an –approve appended to proceed
eksctl upgrade cluster --name=eksworkshop-eksctl --approve
This process should take approximately 25 minutes. You can continue to use the cluster during the control plane upgrade process but you might experience minor service interruptions. For example, if you attempt to connect to one of the EKS API servers just before or just after it’s terminated and replaced by a new API server running the new version of Kubernetes, you might experience temporary API call errors or connectivity issues. If this happens, retry your API operations until they succeed. Your existing Pods/workloads running in the data plane should not experience any interruption during the control plane upgrade.
Given how long this step will take and that the cluster will continue to work maybe move on to other workshop chapters until this process completes then come back to finish once it completes.
