The scientific name of the apricot fruit is Prunus armenaica. The origin of the apricot fruit is disputed. Some say it first originated in China and later arrived in Asia and Europe and then spread to other parts of the world. Other experts attribute Armenia as the place where apricots were first cultivated.
Health Benefits of Apricot
Apricots are powerhouse of nutrients that benefit not only in severe medical conditions but in maintaining overall health as well.
Apricots for Skin
Apricot fruit is packed with antioxidants that protect the skin against free radical damage. Free radicals are compounds that can cause premature aging. Apricot is a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C that are essential for good skin health. Regular consumption of apricots helps in maintaining smooth appearance of skin. However it is also useful in severe skin conditions such as scabies and eczema.
Apricot oil when applied on skin helps in keeping the skin supple and soft. The skin absorbs apricot oil fairly quickly and hence its application does not leave the skin looking oily. Face packs and scrubs made of apricots are good to apply to face as their effect is very gentle on the skin.
Apricots for Cancer
Apricot is considered a cancer-fighting fruit. The fruits protection against free radical damage is not only beneficial for skin but for cancer as well. Antioxidants in apricots prevent mutation of healthy body cells by neutralizing free radicals.
Apricots for Diabetes
Most sweet fruits are not recommended for people suffering with diabetes but there are several fruits that can be safely eaten in this condition. Apricot is one such fruit that is mildly sweet and one serving of it, which is roughly about four apricots, can provide a nutritious fruit option for people with diabetes.
Apricots for Anemia
Apricots are good sources of iron and copper and thus its consumption aids in the treatment of anemia.
Apricots for Asthma
Oil of the apricot fruit is considered beneficial in the treatment of asthma and its related symptoms. Dried apricots are also used in treating cases of asthma as well as of bronchitis and other lung disorders.
Apricots for Eyes
Being a good source of carotenoids, apricots are believed to be beneficial in age-related eye problems.
Apricots for Heart
Apricot fruit is a good source of dietary fiber, which makes it an excellent food that helps in lowering cholesterol levels in the body. Low cholesterol levels keep the heart well-functioning and healthy.
Apricots for Pregnancy
Consumed in moderation both dried and fresh apricots are good for pregnant and lactating women. Dried apricots are considered beneficial in infertility treatments.
Apricots for Babies
Apricot fruit is an excellent food source for babies. Infants at six months and older can consume both fresh and dried apricots. Best way to feed apricots to babies is by baking them or blanching them. Steaming the fruit is also another good option for apricot consumption for babies. Apricot puree is a food that infants can consume easily and is a very nutritious option for them as it is packed with nutrients that aid in their healthy growth.
Apricots can be used to make a variety of dishes and can be used to make healthy breakfast options. Being a sweet and juicy fruit additional sugar is seldom required in sweet apricot dishes.
► For a basic smoothie that you can make in a hurry, just remove the pit from the apricot fruit and mix in a blender with a cup of yogurt. Simply pour in a glass and gulp. You can add a few sprigs of saffron to the blend for added flavor.
► Soak some cashew nuts in water for 10-15 minutes. Add to pitted fresh apricot and low-fat yogurt. Blend all three ingredients together and your smoothie is ready to consume.
► Soak cashew nuts, raisins, dried figs for 10-15 minutes and blend them with fresh apricots and yogurt for a power-packed breakfast.
► Soak 2 tbsp of poppy seeds and make them into a paste. Mix with fresh apricots and yogurt for a smoothie that can give extra boost to your hair and brain cells.
► Chop fresh apricot fruit on your regular cereal for a sugar-free breakfast option. Natural sugar found in apricots makes the use of refined sugar or other sugar substitutes unnecessary or at least decreases the total amount of extra sugar consumed with cereals.
► Add chopped or pureed fresh apricots to cooked oats for a nutrient rich start to your day.
► Blend together fresh apricots, honey and cooked oats and use the mixture to make pancakes.
► Chop fresh apricot, raisins, dried figs and dry coconut powder. Blend with cottage cheese and use this as a filling for sweet sandwiches or paranthas (Indian bread-like wheat preparation). Alternatively make the filling into small balls and wrap them with damp wheat bread and fry or bake and eat this scrumptious dish with sweet date chutney.
► Eat dried apricots to find relief from those evening hungry pangs.
► Cook fresh apricots in sugar syrup. When done add cardamom powder, saffron and chopped dried almonds. Cool and serve with vanilla-flavored ice cream or eat as it is.
► Boil milk until it become half in quantity, add sugar and apricot pulp and mix well. Cool the mixture and pour in ice cream moulds. Freeze for a few hours till your apricot ice cream is ready.
► Add a bit of sugar and water to apricot pulp and pour it into ice cream moulds and freeze. Your dairy-free apricot ice cream is ready to eat in a few hours.
Other Uses in Food
► Use apricot puree in basic sponge cake mixture for a scintillating flavor.
► Use fresh apricot pieces as a garnish for your cakes.

text: We all share responsibility for the health of the river and the health of the community. Peoria is here because of the Illinois River. As a community, we need to protect it and stop dumping raw sewage into it. Also, it's important to remember that when the City first built newer neighborhoods, people in older neighborhoods helped pay for some of the new infrastructures. Now it is time to bring the old sewers up to 21st-century standards, and the entire community shares in that responsibility. Also, many of our newer neighborhoods that have separated sewers discharge sewage into the combined sewers as part of the sewage's path to the treatment plant. Therefore, these separate sewers are also contributing to the combined sewer overflow problem.

Louis Tomlinson hinted that One Direction have not yet taken their final bow.
Appearing as a guest on The One Show last night to promote his new song Walls, he suggested the band would eventually get back together.
Today's top videos
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
'I think it’ll happen at some point, we’d be stupid not to. I think we’re kind of exploring and enjoying ourselves individually,' said Tomlinson.
Louis' debut solo album Walls is scheduled to release at the end of January. He admitted that although the boyband will likely reunite in the future, he wants to spend some time on his solo career first.
'We’ve been on a break four years, I’m only just getting round to releasing my first album. Fans who follow our every move every day probably feel we’ve not been a group for a while, but to us we’re… I know I am just finding my feet really,' he said.
The boyband, made up of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, have been on a break for four years now.
Beginning when Zayn officially left to pursue a solo career, the other members soon followed suit.
Harry Styles has arguably done the best with his solo work so far. His sophomore album Fine Line was the first number one album of the decade.
Meanwhile, Niall Horan had some success with his debut album Flicker in 2017 featuring singles like Too Much To Ask and Slow Hands. His second album is allegedly complete despite no release date.
Liam Payne's solo album LP1 released in December 2019, with little success. Payne is best known for his romance with singer and X Factor judge Cheryl. The pair split in 2018 not long after the birth of their son Bear.

Washington: An ancient kingdom of mummies is providing first ever details about how age-old irrigation techniques may have boosted the plague of schistosomiasis, a water-borne parasitic disease that infects an estimated 200 million people today. (Agencies)
An analysis of mummies from Nubia, located in present-day Sudan, have revealed the prevalence of the disease across populations, and how human alteration of the ecology may have spurred its spread.
About 25 percent of mummies, dating back to about 1,500 years ago, were found to have schistosoma mansoni, a species of schistosomiasis linked with more modern-day irrigation
techniques, reports an American Journal.
“Our study suggests that, just like people today, these ancient individuals were capable of altering the environment in ways that impacted their health,” said co-author Amber Campbell Hibbs, doctoral graduate in anthropology from Emory University, according to an Emory statement.
Schistosomiasis can cause anaemia and chronic illness that impairs growth and cognitive development, damages organs, and increases the risk for other diseases. Along with malaria, it ranks among the most socio-economically damaging parasitic diseases in the world.
“Often in the case of prehistoric populations, we tend to assume that they were at the mercy of the environment, and that their circumstances were a given,” Hibbs said.
The study was co-authored by George Armelagos, Emory anthropologist, William Secor, epidemiologist at the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dennis Van Gerven, anthropologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic worms that live in certain types of freshwater snails. The parasite can emerge from the snails to contaminate fresh water, and then infect humans whose skin comes in contact with the water.
As far back as the 1920s, evidence of schistosomiasis was detected in mummies from the Nile river region, but only in recent years did the analysis of the antigens and antibodies of some of the individuals become possible.

The 5.7 Hemi V8 engine is one of the most popular engines in the world, and for good reason. It’s reliable, powerful, and sounds great. But what are the best headers for 5.7 Hemi Rams?
There are a lot of different headers on the market, so it can be tough to decide which ones are the best for your truck.
But don’t worry, we’re here to help. We’ve compiled a list of the headers for 5.7 Hemi Rams, so you can find the perfect set for your truck.
Whether you’re looking for the best performance, the best sound, or the best value, we’ve got you covered. So, without further ado, here are the best headers for 5.7 Hemi Ram.
What Headers Are Best For A 5.7 Hemi?
There are a few different types of headers that can be used on a 5.7 Hemi engine. Shorty headers, mid-length headers, and long-tube headers are the most common.
Each has its own benefits and drawbacks that need to be considered before choosing the best header for your engine.
Shorty headers are the most common type of header used on a 5.7 Hemi engine. They offer a good balance of power and torque, and are relatively easy to install.
However, they can be a bit tricky to tune, and may not provide the same level of power as other header types.
Mid-length headers offer a longer primary tube length than shorty headers, which can provide a significant increase in power. They are also relatively easy to install, but can be more difficult to tune.
Long-tube headers are the longest type of header available, and can provide the most power gains of any header type.
They are also the most difficult to install, and require a fair amount of tuning to get them to work properly.
Do Headers Improve Horsepower?
A good set of headers should give you an extra 10–20 horsepower, and if you press down on the accelerator with your right foot, you might even get better gas mileage.
How Much Horsepower Does Shorty Headers Add To A 5.7 Hemi?
When upgrading the 5.7s to shorty headers, there will be a minor increase in horsepower (7 to 12). However, torque will make you feel more in the seat of your pants than horsepower.
How Much Hp Does A Performance Header Add?
Typically, a set of headers will provide 10–20 horsepower. Moreover, the type of headers influences the amount of horsepower they add.
With longer tube heads, horsepower will increase by 20 to 30 percent. However, shorter tubes will add 8 to 15 horsepower.
What Headers Give The Most Horsepower?
Open headers are one of the most powerful types of headers. Open headers often add 30 to 40 horsepower to the engine.
When compared to the long and short tube headers, the breadth of this range becomes evident. Due to their remarkable efficiency, open headers often increase engine noise.

Are Shorty Headers Better Than Stock Manifolds?
Shorty headers are better to most stock manifolds because they do not converge (in series) into a single plenum or log, despite having short runners like a manifold.
The shorty header utilizes the same termination design as the long-tube header. Shorty headers deliver less low- and mid-range power than their bigger counterparts. In terms of power, however, they outperform exhaust manifolds.
Best Headers For 5.7 Hemi Ram – Buying Guide
Not all header brands are made equal when it comes to quality. Before buying, consider these factors:
There are two main types of material used in manufacturing headers: stainless steel and mild steel. Stainless steel is more expensive than mild steel because it is stronger and more durable. However, many people find stainless steel too heavy for their vehicles and opt for mild steel instead.
The design of your header will depend on several factors including whether or not it is turbocharged or supercharged; whether or not your truck has an automatic transmission; whether or not it has an exhaust brake; and whether or not it has a cat converter or muffler system installed already (if so then these additional systems must be considered). Primary Tube Size.
Primary Tube Size
This is the size of the primary tubes that make up the exhaust system. The larger the primary tube size, the more airflow it will be able to handle. This will allow for more horsepower and torque production.
The larger the collector (the part of the exhaust system where all of its components meet), the more volume it has for exhaust gasses from multiple cylinders to flow through at once. This will allow for more horsepower and torque production.
Flanges are important because they connect your headers to other components in your engine bay—like your turbo or downpipe—and are crucial in ensuring there is no leakage between these components.
Offset And Length
Offset refers to how far out or back from centerline each individual tube protrudes from its corresponding collector flange or flange centerline; length refers to how long each individual tube runs before reaching a collector flange or flange centerline; both offset and length play an important role in optimizing overall engine performance by ensuring proper placement of each
If you plan on using a stock exhaust system, then you don’t need a heat shield. However, if you want to upgrade your exhaust system or even just replace the factory headers with something more affordable, then you’ll need a heat shield.
Ease Of Installation
While some headers may look great in your engine bay and fit perfectly under your hood, they may not be easy to install.
The best headers for 5.7 Hemi Ram are those that are easy to install without having to modify anything else in the engine compartment such as drilling holes or modifying brackets/mountings so that everything fits together perfectly after installation is complete and ready for use!
The price of these parts varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even from model year to model year depending on whether or not they’ve updated their design (which usually means an increase in cost).
You can expect prices ranging anywhere from $100-$500+ depending on what kind of quality materials are used during production along with other factors such as ease
Although it is not as important to know the header’s warranty as the others, it is still helpful to do so.
You can select between the two guarantees offered by the majority of companies that sell high-performance headers, which range from one year to a lifetime.

4. Do You Need A Tune For Headers 5.7 Hemi?
Headers for the 5.7 Hemi shouldn’t need to be optimized. However, a tune might make your car operate better. Your 5.7 Hemi headers’ tuning can improve their performance, torque, and fuel efficiency.
5. What’s Better Long Or Short Headers?
You should not assume that lengthy tube headers perform better than short ones. Actually, it’s not that simple.
Power and torque output are affected by the RPM range. With long tube headers, power is significantly improved at mid- to high-RPM.
6. How Hard Is It To Install Headers?
It took 7 hours for my back. The engine and chassis are too close together for one to reach the header bolts. It’s a 7/10 for difficulty and a 10/10 for nuisance in my opinion.
7. Can You Install Headers Without Removing Engine?
Definitely not! The mount may be slightly loosened and lifted. Depending on the type you choose, the most you will have to do is loosen the motor mounts. Even yet, the task is easy and easily accomplished.
8. What Would Be The Best Possible Thing To Do With A 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi?
The most powerful engine in the lineup is the Hemi V8 with hemispherical combustion chambers and 5.7 liters of displacement. In addition to its 345 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, the new Hemi has a redesigned exhaust system.
9. What Is Better Headers Or Exhaust Manifold?
In terms of size and composition, exhaust manifolds and headers are architecturally distinct. Headers are formed of lighter, thinner steel, whereas exhaust manifolds are constructed of hefty, thick iron. A header is longer than an exhaust manifold.
10. How Long Does It Take To Install Headers?
It may take from a half-day to a whole overnight, depending on the technician’s motivation and experience. An experienced muffler technician can complete the exhaust system in two hours or less.
11. How Much Does Hp Gain From Headers?
Headers increase horsepower by 10–20. The amount of horsepower that headers add varies. 20–30 horsepower are added through long tube headers. 8 to 15 hp are added by short-tube headers.
12. Can Headers Cause Misfires?
It could. Leaks that occur prior to the O2 sensors may cause a rich running state, which may result in a misfire. Observe the outcomes when the leak has been fixed.
13. What Is The Best Exhaust Header For Hemi Ram?
On the market, the BBK 4009 Exhaust Headers for Dodge Ram Truck 5.7L Hemi is among the best. This header enhances the performance and durability of your truck. Heavy-duty stainless steel guarantees durability.
It is clear that each of these three headers (BBK, TUNERBITS, and Gibson) has strengths and weaknesses.
They are all high-quality, top-rated aftermarket products, but they are made of different materials, are built differently, and have other differences.
We didn’t see any big differences in how people did on this test. They all make a big difference in how much your truck’s exhaust flows and, to a lesser extent, how much horsepower it has.
With so many different products on the market, it might seem hard to find a good one right away. To make an informed decision, you need to learn more about each one.

Police Arrest 3 in Stabbing Incident on Charlottesville Downtown Mall
scene after stabbing incident on Downtown Mall
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -
Two people are in the hospital with stab wounds and three people are facing assault charges in a Charlottesville Downtown Mall stabbing Friday afternoon.
According to police, shortly before 7 p.m., five people got into a fight outside the post office. During the fight, a woman pulled out a knife.
In the course of the fight, the woman lost control of the knife. She and a man were stabbed.
Both their injuries are non-life threatening.
“What we've figured out is we have enough to charge her with aggravated assault because she had the weapon but we don't have much more than that,” Sgt. Chris Loudermilk of Charlottesville Police Department said.
During the course of their investigation, police have determined three of the people, including the woman and man injured, were fighting with another man, who was not injured.
Charges range from drunk in public to aggravated assault and assault by mob.

“Since I am dead I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations.” – Jack Skellington
The History: Nightmare Before Christmas has been and continues to be a cult classic. First released in 1993 as a stop motion film, Tim Burton’s film continues to entertain even to this day. The classic question today, is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie or can it be both?
What’s in the Box: Diamond Select Toys continues the line with Series 7 and 8 and also included is a build a set which seems to be pretty popular these days with DST figures. Series 7 figures include Snowman Jack which includes parts for an actual snowman, Big Vampire, and Skinny Vampire. also included are pieces to build the Halloween Town Guillotine.
Series 8 includes Burnt Santa Jack, Small Vampire with Tall Witch, Short Vampire with Short Witch. Also included are the pieces to build the Halloween Town Guillotine. Each vampire in both sets includes an umbrella for sun protection, and the witches come with brooms.
The Verdict: Classic story with classic characters make for some great collectibles. The fact that we are into series 8 of the line only proves its popularity among collectors. The bonus build set gives it character and makes for some great Halloween town classic moments for quality display options. The Vampires lack articulation which doesn’t affect the display factor is the only thing lacking with these characters.
If you are a fan adding these into an already large collection is worth it. As I said earlier the line has been ongoing for quite some time so grab these sets before they are gone.
Thank You Diamond Select Toys for sending us these great figures.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother making plans for my blog posts if life will prevent me from writing on time anyway.
Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad
Charles Marlow, the captain of a steamboat during Imperialist Europe, travels to the African Congo in search for Mr Kurtz, a feared and well-known ivory trader. Marlow’s trip isn’t only physical, but also psychological, as every situation and every problem he encounters forces him to reflect on people, nature, society, morals and the empire.
This book, with only 100 pages, is one of the shortest ones I’ve read all year. It’s one of those books that you must read if you want to call yourself literature lover. It’s a trip to the mind of a man at the center of the empire, and a reflection on the situation of the time he lived in.
I’ve never had issues with books that have virtually no plot and a lot of thoughts and introspection. Books such as Mrs Dalloway and Ulysses, I’ve enjoyed a lot. Actually, Joyce has spent the last few weeks knocking on the back of my head telling me to read another one of his works. Those books belong to modernism, but as you know, the Victorian period is one of my favorite literary periods. Still, Conrad’s Heart of Darkness didn’t do it for me.
Don’t get me wrong, the novel has brilliant elements: the story is told through the eyes of Marlow, but he’s not the narrator. The narrator is another character who is only sitting and listening to what Marlow’s telling. It’s almost as if the reader were inside the story, listening to the what’s being told. The novel’s full of symbolism and metaphors that hide underneath a text that seems easy to understand; the title, Heart of Darkness, is in itself a big metaphor.
I can’t tell you exactly why I didn’t like it, but I can tell you that it seemed kind of slow, and it dragged a little from time to time.
I recommend it for the role that it plays within the story of literature, because of what it represents and exposes, and for those sentences that made me nod with satisfaction from time to time. Who knows? Maybe you’ll love it.
2 respuestas a “Review: Heart of Darkness”
I read this book for school about a year ago, I hated it! I didn’t enjoy it at all. There was a huge debate in class as to whether the text was racist or not. We had to read an excerpt from Chinua Achebe and his thoughts on the work. This led to an even larger discussion on why Achebe would feel the way that he did. I simply didn’t enjoy the text. I found it a struggle to get through and quite boring. I think it is one of those controversial reads that either you love it or you don’t. I haven’t come across anyone who simply thought it was okay. I think if I recommended this book it would be simply to see the other person’s reaction to the text.

You’re probably right. It was on our reading list for university, but we haven’t discussed it yet. I’m curious to see what the outcome of that discussion is.Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts! 🙂

If you've never been to California, then you're crazy. What have you been doing this whole time? There are places in California you have to go to when you travel to this Golden State. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. If you have vacation time, California is where you want to be to escape the normalcy of everyday life. Pack your bags and get ready for some sun, sand, water, and so much fun you'll never want to leave.
1. Yosemite National Park
Pick up your camera and walk the trails of this breathtaking national park. The mountains and waterfalls will make your jaw drop. It's a great place to go with friends and family. You can even get married amongst the nature that surrounds you. Yosemite has been naturally preserved before you even knew what a national park was, and it's a place where you want to preserve your own memories for years to come. Take lots of picture and fill up those photo albums.
Your hiking experience will never be the same. You'll be looking at so many beautiful parts of nature that you will become so overwhelmed and amazed at what surrounds you. You can travel with a guide on the day hikes for a few hours or a full day's trip to Half Dome to learn more about Yosemite. You can also camp on any of Yosemite's 13 campgrounds. Every view you will ever want to see exists on these campgrounds. You can set up a tent or bring your RV to rest amongst the nature.
2. The Golden Gate Bridge
You've seen this attraction in the 90's when you use to watch Full House, but nothing beats seeing this beautiful structure in person. Whether it's seeing the bridge from far away or while you're driving across it, the Golden Gate bridge is something you can't miss. It's red! Did you know it stretches from San Francisco to the Pacific Ocean? Wow, that's long! When this red bridge came to be, it was the longest bridge in the world.
Construction began in 1933 of the Golden Gate Bridge and ended in 1937. This date will always be significant in San Francisco history. 12 men lost their lives during the construction, but they made something that will stand the test of time. Tourists can visit the south San Francisco Vista Point where parking spots are available for people to rest, find a bathroom, go shopping, eat, and an exhibit. You can also stop by the North Vista Point on the Marin Side to rest and regroup. You can tour the Golden Gate Bridge from the sky in a helicopter, and it's views are something you won't be able to take your eyes off of
Take family pictures with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto. It is a park that will entertain your children and bring out the child in you. This was Walt Disney's vision and before he even built the park, he went around the world looking at other parks to inspire his vision. How many people actually do this nowadays? Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Frontier Land, and Fantasyland are attractions within the park that you need to check out. Don't miss out on this experience because as they say it's fun for the whole family.
You know you've arrived when you see the Disney's signature castle standing tall and proud. When the park has worn you out, you and your family can stay at the Disneyland Hotel to rest and get ready for the next day of fun and adventure. Meals can be eaten inside the park at places like Aladdin's Oasis, Ariel's Grotto, and so many more delectable places to dine. The world of Alice and Wonderland can be explored, and your kids will be entertained. The Bakery Tour is available for families to see the bakery and how San Francisco's sourdough bread is made. At the end of the day you can stop by souvenir shops to purchase your child's favorite character.
4. Big Sur Coastline
The view is enough to make you want to stay and never ever leave California. Take pictures to remember the moment. See the cliffs, ridges, and the redwood trees that make up this amazing coastline. Their hiking trails will bring out the adventurer in you. As you drive down Highway 1, you will see all the attractions the Big Sur Coastline has to offer. Make sure you pull off to the side of the road to admire the big, blue ocean.
It's a romantic spot where you can watch the sunset. Offshore of the coastline is the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary that is protected from oil drilling. On land there is the Ventana Wilderness, which is a protected part of land you as a tourist can visit, but you have to respect the land. You can also hike the trails west of the highway in places like the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Ventana Wilderness. When you've had enough of the wild outdoors, you can visit Big Sur's galleries, studios, and shops. The Coast Gallery, the Big Sur Lodge Gift Shop, and The Local Color are just some places in Big Sur where you can buy souvenirs and view the art.
5. Universal Studios Hollywood
You've been to the Universal Studios in Orlando, but you've never been to the one in Hollywood. Well, what are you waiting for? Get packing and go! This theme park started as a tour through the lot of Universal Film Studios but turned into a place where rides and attractions bring in people from all over. The Simpsons, Shrek, and Despicable Me are just some of the attractions you have to checkout, or you can't really say you've been to Universal Studios in Hollywood. If you're more into thriller and action attractions, this theme park offers water and stunt shows that are sure to entertain that side of you and don't forget to look out for the characters wandering the park because you may get your chance to take a picture with Marilyn Monroe.

6. Death Valley
Don't let the name scare you away from this attraction. Be brave! It may be the hottest and most driest place in the US, but the view is simply amazing. Geologist will enjoy this part of California because of its valleys, canyons, and other structures to study up close and personal. You should NOT hike the Death Valley trails in the summer because they do not call it Death Valley for nothing. Don't let this discourage you as you look up at the stars in the night sky and see why this attraction is a can't miss place to be.
Its 3.4 million acres of sandy landscape is much more then a wasteland. A four wheel drive car is the best way to experience the historical sites. Start earlier in the day when it's still cool so you can cover all the spots in one day. Have a picnic during the hospitable months and enjoy the food as well as the sunshine. When you're done with the weather outside, the Visitor Center by Furnace Creek Ranch is a great place to visit and see the exhibits. Travel to Badwater from Furnace Creek to see great salt formations, the views, and the lowest place in the western hemisphere.

It is certainly one of the most unique views you will ever see on your trip to California. It is a lake that rests between California and Nevada. Wow, that's huge! The trees and mountains bring together skiers, snow mobile riders, hikers, and many more people to experience what nature has to offer. These activities will no doubt keep you coming back to Lake Tahoe. You will remember your trip to Lake Tahoe when you capture every memory on film.
You can view the lake from the skies of a helicopter tour as you learn about the area. If a sky tour makes you uneasy, jet ski tours are available to spend some time on the water. If you want to relax on the water, Lake Tahoe offers a sightseeing cruise of the landscape. If you are curious about how beer is made, the North Lake Tahoe Brew Tour is perfect for you.

10. Redwood National Park
The tall redwood trees will make you feel so small as you look up at their never ending height. it's almost intimidating. You can even drive your car through one of these trees as you make your way into the park. Highway 101 also exists through Redwood National Park. Attractions and motels within the park have been around for a long time. You can't see this kind of beauty in any theme park that's for sure.
You can camp beneath the tall trees that reach to the sky. You love the outdoors and among nature is where you want to be. It's for all ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience to try and have an up close and personal relationship with nature. There are two options of camping you need to be aware of. Developed campgrounds are the well known campgrounds were amenities are easy to come by. Backcountry camping are for those who like to get away from the usual trails where there are more than 200 miles of backcountry to explore.

“We kind of had our future mapped out, and then we heard about the new Tesla Roadster and its insane acceleration numbers, and we thought ‘damn that’s put the gauntlet down’.” – Christian Erland Harald von Koenigsegg, founder and CEO of the Swedish high-performance automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB.
When the maker of one of the fastest production cars in the world – the Koenigsegg Agera RS tops out at 284.55 mph – says that another car is “embarrassing” his company by throwing down the gauntlet two years before it’s set to roll out of the factory, it highlights the fact that Tesla has come a long way from being the maverick company that Musk started in 2003.
Despite ongoing criticism from the auto world, Tesla critics within the auto industry are finally coming round to Musk’s side, albeit kicking and screaming. Going from saying that Tesla will never make it in the auto industry all the way to saying that they’re going to be better than Tesla some day is a tremendous ‘Point A to Point B’ for these executives.
Although it’s a hard pill to swallow, swallow it they must. At the one end, Musk is promising a supercar that will be a “smackdown to gasoline cars,” while at the other, he’s keeping his promise of making a mass-market car in the Model 3. Cheaper Tesla EVs will certainly come, but Musk had to get the attention of the entire auto industry with the Roadster 2008. It was hard going, but the company is finally a stone’s throw away from releasing a standard battery Model 3 for the originally-promised $35,000.
At the top end of Musk’s auto initiative is the Roadster 2020, which is now shaking up the supercar segment. If Koenigsegg’s creator is willing to publicly accept that Tesla’s new creation is “embarrassing” them, you can be sure that there are others being silently embarrassed by the Roadster 2020.
“We thought, ‘this is not OK’. We wondered whether it was possible, and yeah, it’s possible. Then we thought, ‘OK how do we deal with it? This is embarrassing.’”
Koenigsegg had clearly been working on the challenge, because two days later he came up with this:
“In two days we’d thought of a few things. The simplest way of putting it is like this: it’s combining direct drive, with the hybridisation we have in a different format with freevalve engine technology, in a peculiar layout.”
“What we see with our engines, we’ve noticed that we’re just scratching the surface of what we can achieve. Here’s an example: if we ignore fuel consumption for a moment… we have a fairly high compression ratio for our turbo V8 – 9.5 to 1 with 1.6 bar of boost. If we drop that to 8.8 to 1, we could boost to 2.2 bar, which is another 600bhp just like that, without putting more stress on your engine because your peak pressure doesn’t go up. And it would only consume about five per cent more fuel.”
That highlights something else. Traditional ICE makers need to think laterally to beat Tesla at its own game. The one point that stands out in Koenigsegg’s comments is that EV is not their game. Other automakers have joined the bandwagon and mostly committed to an EV future, but supercar makers like Koenigsegg will continue to cater to the super-rich who don’t really care about the price (or possibly even the impact) of gas-powered cars.
Even if Koenigsegg can put out a production car in the next two years that will do 0-60 mph in under 1.9 seconds, it can never represent what the Roadster 2020 already does – that the future belongs to EVs. The crown that was firmly fixed on the ICE head for a hundred years is rapidly coming lose. It’s only a matter of time before it comes off.

Class Zero Emission - Belgium
Class Zero Emission (CZE) is an educational centre in Brussels, conceived by the International Polar Foundation (IPF), where the IPF organises free interactive workshops for Belgian students (10 to 18 years old) and students who follow a teacher formation and teacher training sessions for teachers.
The workshop has four areas covering four different themes:
- climate change
- the Polar Regions
- polar science & exploration
- sustainable development
Each of the four spaces makes use of creative teaching tools (3D puzzles of the Arctic and Antarctic, digital flash animations, photographs, films, scientific experiences, games, etc.) to help young students better understand climate change as a whole. By taking part in experiments and interactive games, students will learn about the fascinating world of polar science and realize the importance of adopting a sustainable way of life.
The workshop has the following objectives:
- Make pupils aware of the impact of climate change
- Bring young audiences closer to scientific research
- Allow pupils to become familiar with the Polar Regions
- Stimulate pupils to take action themselves
Supporting teaching materials
The following material was developed in the framework of the Class Zero Emission project and can be downloaded free on our website:
Class Zero Emission is open to schools throughout Belgium's three regions (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels), grades 5 to 12 (10 to 18 years old).
The workshop can accommodate a maximum of 30 students. A trained member of staff leads the workshop. For groups large than 30 students, it is also possible to run two workshops simultaneously.
The Class Zero Emission workshop is located near to the International Polar Foundation headquarters in Brussels. Here is a google map.
- CZE is easily accessible from Brussels Midi / Zuid Train Station. From there you can either walk or take bus 78.
- By foot (15 minutes) from Brussels Midi / Zuid Station
- walk down the west alley of the station (shops like Exki and Esprit are here) and exit onto Rue de France
- Walk south on Rue de France until you reach a crossroad with traffic lights ; cross the street at the traffic lights and continue straight onto Rue des Deux Gares (if you see the Philips Tower, you are going in the right direction)
- Walk straight ahead for 5 minutes.
- You will eventually come to a Brico hardware store on your right. Iimmediately after you pass the Brico, turn left turn left and head straight to the back of the car park. Be careful not to confuse the entrance to the IPF offices (the courtyard before the Brico when coming from the station) with the entrance to Class Zero Emission (after the Brico Center).
- By bus (5 minutes) from Brussels Midi / Zuid Station
- Take bus number 78 (direction Humanité / Humaniteit) to a stop called Deux Gares / Tweestations.

Airbus & MRO
Companies are often forced to rethink their strategies based on externalities, and we’ve seen a couple of examples of this in the aviation markets this week, at Airbus and SkyWest.
Airbus quietly announced that it was dismantling its MRO network, which it had initially begun some years ago to ensure that some of the best MROs in the world had the capabilities to maintain Airbus aircraft. Their network had 17 members, who have all now been notified that the network was being disbanded.
The operation was not commercial in nature, as Airbus never made any commitments to give work to the network members, but instead it was a process to exchange data and establish benchmarks for maintenance performance. The members of the network, a who’s who of maintenance providers, included Lufthansa Technik, HAECO, SR Technics, ST Aerospace. Of course, since they all compete with each other, those “secret” techniques for MRO were unlikely to be shared.
The reality of the situation is that there is little an OEM can do today in MRO unless they want to compete with those keeping their aircraft flying, which may not be an optimal productive strategy. Boeing has struggled with its Gold Care program, attracting few customers, and despite the OEMs’ unique role in the marketplace, MRO work is changing.
One of the key elements of that change is that component MRO has begun to be clawed back by OEM suppliers, who can offer by-the-hour maintenance contracts at attractive rates. For many suppliers, it is less expensive to exchange a failed unit for a new one than to overhaul it, as overhauls may be more labor intensive and include extensive troubleshooting. Margins for spare parts remain quite lucrative, and the OEMs are in the best position to provide MRO services, as they have ready access to both replacement units and spare parts.
Airbus, unlike Boeing, has not focused on the aftermarket as a profit center, but instead focuses on helping Airbus operators achieve low cost solutions that keep them as customers. By dismantling their network, they have opened the door to alternate approaches, including by the hour contracts with OEMs, which can be offered to their customers without having to give preference to their former MRO network partners.
The reality of MRO work is that parts provided by Boeing or Airbus, such as the fuselage, and its major components, rarely break. The bulk of MRO work is in engines and components, which can in many cases be most cost-effectively handled by those who design and make them. That has been the case with engines for many years, and is now becoming more commonplace with components.
What’s the next frontier? We’ve already seen airline alliances develop purchasing groups to bundle their purchasing power for supplies — but what about bundling their purchasing power for component MRO? Imagine the power of a Star Alliance, oneworld, or Sky Team in issuing an RFP for an exchange program for each key component, bid on by both independents and the OEMs? Prices would fall, airlines would be happy, and the winner of the contract would have sufficient volume to reap large economies of scale. But that would require a uniform maintenance standard among their members, whose technical departments may not agree.
While Airbus isn’t there yet, it has made the first step – moving from away from supporting a small group of 17 MROs to working with all MROs on an equal basis. The question now is whether Airbus will take the next logical step, and help its customers join together to obtain the best potential economics with a high quality standard acceptable to everyone, and thereby differentiate themselves from their competitor. The jury is still out.
SkyWest Examining Alternative in Wake of Potential MRJ Delays
It seems that nearly every new aircraft program faces certification delays, from the A380 and 787 debacles to smaller delays with CSeries and A350; getting a new program out on time is a challenge for the industry. Mitsubishi, with its MRJ, is facing similar challenges, and its early customers are becoming concerned, as they will need to find alternative lift if the aircraft can’t be delivered on schedule.
SkyWest has typically been clever in its contracts for new aircraft, leaving “out” clauses in case situations change. With a potential out, as they also are rumored to have with their Embraer E2 contract, SkyWest is now in a position to replace their MRJ order with a different aircraft if they cannot be delivered on time.
There are several options. With an order for E2s already in place, could Skywest attempt move them forward and consider ordering the existing model EJets, or would potentially examine an alternative such as the CRJ900 or the slightly larger CS100 from Bombardier, or the Sukhoi Superjet? Delays throw the entire game of fleet planning open, and the process could quickly restart, to a critical detriment for Mitsubishi.
Fleet planning isn’t an easy process, and entails much more than an examination of the comparative economics and pricing of rival aircraft. It also entails routes and fleet optimization, aircraft configurations, passenger and cargo revenue projections, fuel, crew, maintenance, and other operating expenses, financing, depreciation and tax considerations, training, scope clauses, and other factors. The easy part is determining the comparative economics for each aircraft. The difficult part is running through hundreds of iterations to determine what the likely optimal aircraft will be.
Just when you thought your fleet plan was set, and it was safe to go back in the water, a the lurking sound of a potential delays (dum, da dum, da de dum,….) emerges and the decision process starts all over again. Superjet, Embraer, and Bombardier are undoubtedly waiting in the wings with new offers.
For Mitsubishi, an additional delay, coupled with a launch order cancellation, could damage the credibility of the entire program. We haven’t seen much transparency in the program, in part due to cultural differences, but the MRJ team has “some ‘splainin to do” to its customers and the industry.
Having seen the A380 and 787 debacles, airlines expect aircraft programs to be on time unless given clear guidance otherwise. Because delivery delays are problematic for carriers, missing a delivery is one of the last things an OEM can afford to do.

Nominated as one of the best slots games online of 2016, Jewels of the Orient slots is a fun and brightly coloured gaming interface, though perhaps not the most accurate in its depiction of the Orient.
How to Play Jewels of The Orient Slots?
The slot game is an interesting one to play. The Jewels refer to virtual gems and also women from the various Oriental countries, which go from China to India. The women are symbolised as per the nationality and identifiable through their national dress. Indians are dressed in Blue, Thai people in Orange and the Chinese in Red. There are also other countries in this wide-ranging game including Japanese and Korean, who are dressed in pink and green respectively. You can select the option to play Jewels of the Orient slots normally or in the expert mode. This 5-reel and a 9-payline slots game can be played with a bet range from £0.01 to £45.
There is only one huge bonus in the Jewels of the Orient slots, but it is, like we said, a big one. If the player lands three to five scatter symbols on the reel, he or she will get a number of choices to make in the next section. The more scatter symbols the player lands, the more choices he or she gets. The scatter symbol is a Palace.
As you’re playing the slot, a group of oriental looking men lines up, and then, you the player must pick a box, which will contain the number of free spins you’re entitled to as a bonus. After that, if you have more choices, you can continue to pick boxes. These will contain the multiplier bonus you can get. There’s also a coins bonanza which depends on how much you bet.
The prizes you land are directly proportional to the palaces you land on the reel. For Five Palaces, a player can get 20 to 40 free spins and on a multiplier of up to 5 times his or her bet. As the number decreases, so does the free spin and multiplier. Three Palaces will get you about 15 spins and two times your total bet amount. The trick in the game, really, is to keep on spinning!
From the structure of the slots, the bigger you bet, the bigger you win seems to be an appropriate strategy. But, it allows the player to downsize the bet if the jackpot remains elusive.
Overall, Jewels of the Orient slots is fun, colourful and has a great soundtrack. The music is a mixture of all the Oriental countries that are represented in the slots game, and it won’t make you want to plug your ears in the least. Add to that the extremely high bonus feature, this game definitely deserves to be the hit of 2016.
