It was in this year when lots of competitors came up with cars that competed with the hallmark hybrid vehicle Toyota Prius. Among these cars include the Ford Fusion, the Mini-e, the Audi A1, and the Honda Insight which had all left a good impression on auto owners who also liked living green. The green car that got the most raves, however, was the Chevy Volt. The Chevy Volt was built by General Motors with the goal of building an electric platform that can be deployed first in the Volt, and then later on to cheaper cars. Many have commented on the irony of having a company that killed the electric car which is now building one to survive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Key characteristics for a green car can also include being small and efficient. For compact green cars, Nissan's Nuvu and the robot-assisted Pivo 2 had been launched. Meanwhile Chrysler developed the GEM Peapod while Mitsubishi came up with I-Miev.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other green cars that aimed to battle global warming that were launched in 2008 include Mazda's Kiyora, a car that cleans water, BMW's hydrogen-powered car that cleaned the air as it goes through the city, and the Eco-Elise from Lotus, an energy-efficient vehicle that was created with green materials.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hungary also introduced their own efficient car -the Antro, which has 150 miles per gallon mileage. Volkswagen, on the other hand launched a 235 mpg concept with the VW 1L. French Microjoule is also hoping to produce an 8923 mile-per-gallon vehicle in the near future.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many other means of green transport out in the market. Here are some basic green car tips to remember:</p><p>1. Before getting in your car, consider whether you could reach your destination by other means. Walking regularly can reduce your risk of heart problems and other illnesses.</p><p>2. Identify your most common destinations, and investigate whether you could get there by bus, train, bike, or walking.</p><p>3. Travel to work or school by public transport, walking, or cycling once a week.</p><p>4. Investigate the possibility of car sharing. By sharing with one other person, you could half your costs of driving.</p><p>5. When driving, get rid of any additional and unnecessary weight, like roof bars or bike racks.</p><p>6. Use air conditioning carefully, as this increases fuel consumption by 15%.</p><p>7. Change into a higher gear as soon as possible.</p><p>8. Accelerate and brake as slowly and smoothly as possible.</p><p>9. Drive at slower speeds - driving at 70 mph uses 30% more fuel than driving at 40-55 mph.</p><p>10. Have your car serviced regularly - an incorrectly adjusted carburetor can waste up to 25% of fuel. Incorrect tire pressure can increase fuel consumption too.</p><p>11. Switch off your engine at short stops (more than one minute).</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunshine Chen is a seasoned writer, having travelled around the world, largely putting all her experiences and the sights and sounds she has come across to paper.

It was little more than a flat board carried by four wheels. The wheels were fixed to the axle in a stiff manner and the axle itself was also fabricated tightly to the cart. This made steering of the wagon a cumbersome business and meant a very low efficiency. These problems and the fact that no supple wagon had been invented to bind the animals in the front-only the Celts had invented a balanced harness to pull with-made freight over land costly and time-consuming.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-zc-tgBZzOtpc3FTBtYDtxQTG_506HmwMhMkgm3HFoswvEwMTy2-sH082YrlBVuM5oH23zgbwMpmppc9zmO5y64nv6eqzuvsJv_qu5TBBHsvRlQDniakQCIjokuepTdd9avoO1c65FNPu/s550/e94ed1_08e0ee00ced447b2bf4191951124c9fb%257Emv2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="550" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-zc-tgBZzOtpc3FTBtYDtxQTG_506HmwMhMkgm3HFoswvEwMTy2-sH082YrlBVuM5oH23zgbwMpmppc9zmO5y64nv6eqzuvsJv_qu5TBBHsvRlQDniakQCIjokuepTdd9avoO1c65FNPu/s320/e94ed1_08e0ee00ced447b2bf4191951124c9fb%257Emv2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The most impressive skill in Roman transportation was the so-called cursus publicus (something like 'public race course'). This postal service was started by state couriers bringing information and diplomatic instructions into the far reaches of the empire. This developed relatively quickly into the organization of postal diligences that connected the various provinces with each other. These were not really public postal services as they were meant for people employed by the emperor and for the rich and powerful.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMYU2Fk3MDLabPjRk0sEE3D4jDNkojzQBCMegPD6ZOowFpFETgl3TeAeuNaLO8mKYg59do5Q8sUQS_t3hGQqEg0UiwShZ3mR1G0D7jQNuaMihq4yKOUrT1cGKobiHuD-T3U9XxJxQNyqvJ/s790/afp_kereta_kuda_pompeii.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="790" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMYU2Fk3MDLabPjRk0sEE3D4jDNkojzQBCMegPD6ZOowFpFETgl3TeAeuNaLO8mKYg59do5Q8sUQS_t3hGQqEg0UiwShZ3mR1G0D7jQNuaMihq4yKOUrT1cGKobiHuD-T3U9XxJxQNyqvJ/s320/afp_kereta_kuda_pompeii.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The cursus publicus was strictly regulated as far as size and capacity of its vehicles was concerned. Also it was precisely specified who was allowed to drive them, for what purpose and who was responsible for their maintenance. Because of the high cost of constructing and maintaining roads, transportation was managed in accordance with tight stipulations and great care was taken that a relative light maximum weight was allowed for the different modes of transport.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzsReMP7sPp38_GQ2NRDajP_jWYivPx911ua4mbQckhk93HaxM6avDcC55pZTYoMnwkw36LJNQvOYIND_MFyV_cp5LyTAR-YPhjcY0EicQbvQt0RD_7KPBpYQmJIHMx0DEtIELgePMfCvS/s1295/Hop-OnHop-OffCitySightseeingBusTourdiRoma.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="925" data-original-width="1295" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzsReMP7sPp38_GQ2NRDajP_jWYivPx911ua4mbQckhk93HaxM6avDcC55pZTYoMnwkw36LJNQvOYIND_MFyV_cp5LyTAR-YPhjcY0EicQbvQt0RD_7KPBpYQmJIHMx0DEtIELgePMfCvS/s320/Hop-OnHop-OffCitySightseeingBusTourdiRoma.webp" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>When the Roman empire lost its vitality, the cursus publicus became victim of nepotism and misuse. With the demise of Roman central power the excellent qualities of the system disappeared. Only in modern times the cursus publicus would be matched.</p><p><br /></p><p>In general transportation was carried out by ancient customs. Sail boats were given a smooth skin, instead of riveting, and a fully developed keel with front and stern. The ancient Greeks used a square or oblong sail to catch the wind and in case of headwind they employed one or two rows of oarsmen to make headway. The Greeks were the first, as far as we know, to construct a special kind of battle ship with a ram at the front. Also they had freight ships without rowers and these, of course, were totally dependent on the wind. These developments were completed in the time of classical Greece. The Romans adopted both these forms without making any changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Romans devoted much more attention to their roads than to transportation by sea. They worked out a remarkable network with carefully planned roads, both as far as the position as the construction were concerned. The road network was stretched out far and wide throughout all the provinces of the empire. Over these roads the legions marched to wherever there was a crisis. The roads also served for the development of trade, but their primary function always remained the maintenance of the imperial dominion.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the zenith of Roman power trade was connected over land to the cultures of Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor and even China and India. But the system of transportation depended on the Roman, Chinese and Mauritanian empires. When these great powers collapsed, the trade routes became ways of invasion for foreign hostile armies. Almost everywhere the road networks became dilapidated for centuries. Freight transport was substituted by troupes of beasts of burden that were able to travel those ancient roads and that were sufficient to carry the lesser stream of goods. It would last till the twelfth century before the situation was improved.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-24650288920767556302021-09-10T18:04:00.003-07:002021-09-10T18:04:53.511-07:00The Important Role of GPS in the Transportation Industry<p> The global positioning system, or GPS, is a solar-powered satellite navigation system consisting of 24 satellites located 11,000 nautical miles in space. The United States Department of Defense placed these satellites into orbit for military operations but in the 1980s, made the system available at no charge to the public. Since the system works anywhere in the world during any time of day and in any weather conditions, there is a place for GPS in the transportation industry.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD9OqYoaKN-fVvIJzciE4_BFFoM2W9-N5bUOr3jWMsaP795VItSgNmxu9f3CmKruXjzB_dHuJ6qAro7mbhR1IVN2hQc6f_5GE5H28nE-IAYs8Th7VLUX_iO0fdluY_RtoJ9hPLS4D09EyZ/s820/How-GPS-tracking-can-help-in-transportation-and-logistics.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="820" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD9OqYoaKN-fVvIJzciE4_BFFoM2W9-N5bUOr3jWMsaP795VItSgNmxu9f3CmKruXjzB_dHuJ6qAro7mbhR1IVN2hQc6f_5GE5H28nE-IAYs8Th7VLUX_iO0fdluY_RtoJ9hPLS4D09EyZ/s320/How-GPS-tracking-can-help-in-transportation-and-logistics.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The Workings of GPS in the Transportation Industry</p><p><br /></p><p>Twice a day, GPS satellites circle Earth, moving in a precise orbit and transmitting signals. GPS receivers capture this information and calculate the exact location of a user through triangulation. An electronic map on the receiver displays this location in either 2D or 3D depending on the number of satellites in view from the receiver. After determining the position of the user, the unit can calculate distance to destination, speed, bearing, directions, and other information.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpRdWxo3cU5KIYYKXyME0lCjBnQ-Ypk0rK9WHhoo1nkWIuNCvXtTDSi40wBkFt8fCNTe6hzJp9RN6fzU6Ssv6Ji4BVYr3DHB2ASX6Gu23vRMYi9xxVbL7FQX6bI_7H3ee5yltC9QKlum3c/s725/gps-tracking-cost-analysis-assessment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="725" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpRdWxo3cU5KIYYKXyME0lCjBnQ-Ypk0rK9WHhoo1nkWIuNCvXtTDSi40wBkFt8fCNTe6hzJp9RN6fzU6Ssv6Ji4BVYr3DHB2ASX6Gu23vRMYi9xxVbL7FQX6bI_7H3ee5yltC9QKlum3c/s320/gps-tracking-cost-analysis-assessment.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>GPS tracking systems have been important to the development of the auto transportation industry. Reputable ground transportation companies use this technology to strengthen their businesses. GPS is used to constantly track the location of transportation vehicles so supervisors know where each member of the fleet is at all times. Customers may have access to this information, allowing them to monitor shipments.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvHgzgPrIkrEJryRUMOTseJmkaBAXKgzh_STC6s2tYcKpvZR5ucf1qu4jg6LBCVKXXH8rt7NDg7qv69yqq6dI5l_mTJXBm-D-7zYcxUxUetpIHQKYvxsMWpiivtE6kxpfpkx8ufTTrGCo/s725/gps-tracking-main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="395" data-original-width="725" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvHgzgPrIkrEJryRUMOTseJmkaBAXKgzh_STC6s2tYcKpvZR5ucf1qu4jg6LBCVKXXH8rt7NDg7qv69yqq6dI5l_mTJXBm-D-7zYcxUxUetpIHQKYvxsMWpiivtE6kxpfpkx8ufTTrGCo/s320/gps-tracking-main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Safety and Emergency Roles of GPS in the Transportation Industry</p><p><br /></p><p>With major investments in fleets and expensive cargo on board, safety becomes a top priority for shipping companies. An accident or other emergency can occur at any time and GPS allows supervisors to quickly identify when something goes wrong during transport. They can see a vehicle veering away from the intended course or making unscheduled stops, allowing them to respond immediately.</p><p><br /></p><p>When GPS is used for fleet tracking, data is transmitted in real-time. Emergency services also use GPS to locate and respond to vehicle accidents and other roadway emergencies. Drivers who encounter trouble rely on this technology to keep their cargo and themselves as safe as possible. Quick response to an emergency can mean the difference between intact and lost cargo and more important, life and death.</p><p><br /></p><p>GPS is extremely accurate due to the parallel multi-channel design of current receivers. The newest receivers improve accuracy to an average of less than three meters. Signals can pass through glass, plastic, and clouds and satellites are built and launched to replace existing satellites, which have an approximately ten-year life span.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-90037135787838737002021-09-10T18:02:00.001-07:002021-09-10T18:02:04.403-07:00Advantages Provided by Private Transportation Companies<p> If you are going in a different city for a business trip, or to mix business with some pleasure, you can think about hiring private transportation in that city.

To make this possible, they hire the best drivers in the industry. It is not sufficient that the driver knows how to run the car, he must be exceptionally familiar with the roads and distances from one destination to another. When he meets this qualification, he will be able to bring his client/s to the designated place on time.

That is, unless you had previously arranged for a relative or friend to drop you off or to come and pick you up at the airport on arrival. However, the majority of airports have a wide range of ground transportation options available for you to choose from. The most common and most widely used transport services are discussed below.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvEFsx44jzEoyXUm6uf9IHPRSEgkM8dSFnvYCetKbvEST7lWPg6MRTMAqnXS36LBjL8sA49H1y0gmsQWtagh70rwVvp7BvkWgzVhQf8EMzOkkBJ8Ru9n3t0NjA2hdYF5IamqUKiPGf4MCL/s1366/Pengertian-Transportasi-Menurut-Para-Ahli.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvEFsx44jzEoyXUm6uf9IHPRSEgkM8dSFnvYCetKbvEST7lWPg6MRTMAqnXS36LBjL8sA49H1y0gmsQWtagh70rwVvp7BvkWgzVhQf8EMzOkkBJ8Ru9n3t0NjA2hdYF5IamqUKiPGf4MCL/s320/Pengertian-Transportasi-Menurut-Para-Ahli.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Hotel or resort shuttles - Most of the big hotels and resorts that are within a short distance from the airport offer shuttle rides for their clients. These hotels know how stressful it is to manage a scheduled ground transportation service while dealing with the ever changing traffic conditions. They are also very much aware of the consequences of having their customers miss their flight due to delays and are therefore very strict in terms of time. To deal with the unpredictable traffic conditions they ensure that their shuttles are dispatched in good time so that even in the event of a traffic jam they arrive promptly.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQxcY8b9sBjLqqCQpJfzB6utQ7kX13CHioeOvDzvVzwmgy1wAvAByWmTtm6wLUSjgEp0c8-v6cSPZ6mipNmfILRgW5f_5_bHJD8cVLkwPhA4JbpbbYibuv1tfZZc-HZPE2W2smfvIQ1ts/s600/seputar-pengertian-transportasi-darat-44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="600" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQxcY8b9sBjLqqCQpJfzB6utQ7kX13CHioeOvDzvVzwmgy1wAvAByWmTtm6wLUSjgEp0c8-v6cSPZ6mipNmfILRgW5f_5_bHJD8cVLkwPhA4JbpbbYibuv1tfZZc-HZPE2W2smfvIQ1ts/s320/seputar-pengertian-transportasi-darat-44.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Taxi services - This is the most popular type of ground transportation and found in great numbers in any city. Their yellow color makes them easy to spot and they are an efficient and reliable means to find your way around any given city. The majority of cab drivers start or end their shift at 5am or 5pm and as a result their numbers are usually at a minimum during this shift changing period. This is due to the penalty imposed on drivers who fail to return the cab on time. It has also been observed that a good number of cab drivers tend to avoid airport destinations due to the traffic jams associated with roads leading to airports. They usually prefer to get multiple fares by simply picking up passengers in the city center.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdIz3yoRTk49B0I9yrrVLbK9IB4t1NtbQM76GyZeRYeIpYcGsDtjvPt7r3AGMhR-_QIem5W3ok1xvsZfgNfZv50rm_JNPmKUkLMy_9Qqjm7MUWKxXW20OmgfQAarVmkRF47qpvAliXk9q_/s1366/Pengertian-Transportasi-Menurut-Para-Ahli.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdIz3yoRTk49B0I9yrrVLbK9IB4t1NtbQM76GyZeRYeIpYcGsDtjvPt7r3AGMhR-_QIem5W3ok1xvsZfgNfZv50rm_JNPmKUkLMy_9Qqjm7MUWKxXW20OmgfQAarVmkRF47qpvAliXk9q_/s320/Pengertian-Transportasi-Menurut-Para-Ahli.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Gypsy cabs - These are the private cars whose owners patrol airport terminals and hotels in the search for passengers. Although they may appear professional, more often than not these lack insurance and have no license. Also their vehicles might not meet the minimum safety requirements or may have not have even undergone the mandatory safety inspections which means that they are illegal. This ground transportation option is dangerous and not recommended for anyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Limo car services - This is the one of the best ground transportation service and it also has a lot to offer. A good number of limousine service companies offer you the opportunity to book online in advance which saves a lot of time. The limousine is dispatched well before the scheduled time so that you reach your destination punctually or even earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pre arranging your ground transportation is the best way of managing the situation rather than letting the situation manage you. When you have just landed in a foreign city the last thing you want is to do is to wait for over an hour for transport to your destination.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-59639512866843998362021-09-10T17:52:00.003-07:002021-09-10T17:52:45.798-07:00Where IS The World's Largest Neon Sign?<p> Where is this giant sign? It is right where it should be. There is only one logical place in this country where it could be. No, it isn't in New York City. A neon sign this size needs plenty of room. It also has to advertise someplace that is popular enough so that this gigantic sign can pay for itself. That means a location that draws millions of visitors annually. New York City does get them.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjppGg3eDWM4JekMPpm3RIezGARTPi_CM6GJKmS9LY7HF_1OgrAxbKJGUDL4yXamsQwmHm9WcRTpwOuQ4SqlrpGhT2AgOgiYA2GbziBgYf0jgCLjblFPybpXdyf0w43agUDNHkvauR25eE3/s500/4008f50b-ec69-48b7-bcb8-5d68a21b0a5d.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjppGg3eDWM4JekMPpm3RIezGARTPi_CM6GJKmS9LY7HF_1OgrAxbKJGUDL4yXamsQwmHm9WcRTpwOuQ4SqlrpGhT2AgOgiYA2GbziBgYf0jgCLjblFPybpXdyf0w43agUDNHkvauR25eE3/s320/4008f50b-ec69-48b7-bcb8-5d68a21b0a5d.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>But where could they put it? Times Square doesn't have enough space. Also, the corporation who owns this neon sign does have property in The Big Apple but no place not enough room for this sign which is not a sign you can hang on or attach to a building. The only place that meets all of the requirements, if you haven't guessed it by now, is "The Strip" in Las Vegas. This location is ideal because the money generated here far surpasses whatever income New York could produce and once you see the price you will know why Las Vegas got the nod. The most obvious reason, the size of this neon sign, points to Las Vegas.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM6gU8ZoUEfIUnmdF2bOUYwtvdXbhyphenhyphen2wCMQZ2DIJ68NFD4J_HcD7MziLte9HL6KaUqJ65Zrf4iz_MMEQmza-wWudDB6z2BFq3SePjjlGDBtQS3cpoRpPJEy3lgm1lvseu61swTZRp03-lH/s466/71tyLTXi4%252BL._AC_SX466_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="466" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM6gU8ZoUEfIUnmdF2bOUYwtvdXbhyphenhyphen2wCMQZ2DIJ68NFD4J_HcD7MziLte9HL6KaUqJ65Zrf4iz_MMEQmza-wWudDB6z2BFq3SePjjlGDBtQS3cpoRpPJEy3lgm1lvseu61swTZRp03-lH/s320/71tyLTXi4%252BL._AC_SX466_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>This neon sign was the idea of the Hilton Hotel Corporation. The company that was to build the original sign had planned to build a 364 foot tall sign on the site when they started in 1994. However, this neon sign was practically destroyed during construction by a windstorm in July of that year. However, as luck would have it, the undamaged foundation and steel structure was able to be used when the foundation for the new sign was poured in 1996. It became the world's largest and tallest free-standing advertising sign. Las Vegas known as The City of Lights received the brightest neon sign anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just what makes this neon sign the brightest star in town? It is powered by flashing ballasts and neon transformers. Lights are provided by more than 1,500 flashing sign ballasts. The sign's total surface area is over 70,000 square feet. This neon is able to produce as many as 64 changing color shades. The hotel's name, Hilton, is done in rebox style letters 164 feet wide and 29 feet high and uses 9,310 feet of lighting. The sign is two-sided and displays ridges which are four lamps deep all the way up and down the sign.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8cwxGNxWOoBnIy36OYqkkdJ-7cF9ESHDtQdReG_4b9ABR7WJL4HP0MFGhUS8Yo0l5FFxIuZ_zuOEtyLiRgm7aFtRLYVdbyPhnpAZs9V8U2JVbwOSpNMf9ea_4ysCYEhK6CaSLZhmXyBv/s1500/611lPNi1G0L._AC_SL1500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8cwxGNxWOoBnIy36OYqkkdJ-7cF9ESHDtQdReG_4b9ABR7WJL4HP0MFGhUS8Yo0l5FFxIuZ_zuOEtyLiRgm7aFtRLYVdbyPhnpAZs9V8U2JVbwOSpNMf9ea_4ysCYEhK6CaSLZhmXyBv/s320/611lPNi1G0L._AC_SL1500_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The sign features a "Star Trek:The Experience" logo and a programmable reader board. This double-sided reader board is 40 feet high and 80 feet wide and is filled with 32,000 colored lamps per side. The Star-Trek part of the sign took 6,944 linear feet of neon to illuminate.The sign's flashing ballasts are used to turn the colors on and off, move the light across the screen and control the sign's flashing activities in as efficient and effective manner. The flashing sign ballasts are 120-volt, high output, which allows for dependable stopping at low temperatures. They support up to three lamps and have pre-heated cathodes to improve lamp performance. The ballasts are good for about 20,000 hours. The sign has proven to be very popular with visitors. There's another title that could undoubtedly apply to this sign for at a price tag of approximately $9 million it could easily be the world's most expensive neon sign.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting to note that Saginaw, Michigan claims to have the largest neon sign in the state. It is 35' tall and 50' long and is said to be the largest figural sign in the entire United States. A figural sign is based on human or animal figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neon signs are things we see every day. From our largest cities to our smallest towns they exhibit their colorful brilliance day and night through all kinds of weather. Although their main function is to advertise they add warm lights to brighten many dark areas. They add color to drab buildings.</p><p><br /></p><p>The US has its Times Square and Las Vegas, both being impressive neon sign showcases. London has its Piccadilly Circus, a well-known sign display. Some of the other places with bright sign centerpieces are Tokyo's Ginza and Shibuya, Osaka's Do ton bun, Shanghai's Nanjinj Road(the world's largest shopping street), and Bankok's Soi Cowboy district which was named after an American who opened a go-go bar there in the 1970's. This one made the list because of its so-called unpleasant strangeness which featured pink elephants marching up and down its pink neon streets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neon signs are found worldwide. Although they proclaim their messages in hundreds of languages their purposes and their benefits are the same as they are here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joseph Tedesco has taught in both elementary and high schools.

But this result lead to the conclusion that an American Princess is very far from being an American Royalty where class, intelligence, finesse, beauty and everything admirable in between take the greater part of the pie. American Princess therefore means that the "princess' must be from a famous family (not necessarily a good one), and should be backed by great wealth and acceptable attitude. The rest of the criteria include a split between a multi-dollar home, jewelries, expensive clothes and a trust fund.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBuIfBYApvSyNahoiXga3f0KChxPPr-deOw5pp4NZQBpluNhaSYywdYfZLSLZqW-JEYA2bOJWnzTnvsqK4nauTHgtVtcYu0zhyphenhyphenmdRvfrZ58JqY7wzQgAPMxhDgu3nZ9X7g3_bkT4gDMNwW/s1102/Paris_Hilton_Monaco_2019_%2528cropped%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="785" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBuIfBYApvSyNahoiXga3f0KChxPPr-deOw5pp4NZQBpluNhaSYywdYfZLSLZqW-JEYA2bOJWnzTnvsqK4nauTHgtVtcYu0zhyphenhyphenmdRvfrZ58JqY7wzQgAPMxhDgu3nZ9X7g3_bkT4gDMNwW/s320/Paris_Hilton_Monaco_2019_%2528cropped%2529.jpg" width="228" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Well, that basically speaks Paris Hilton's qualities. Some calls that chic while others despise her fate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her absurdities- A Hollywood writer once commented that Paris Hilton is like a black hole, she sucks the light out by her mere presence. That's how absurd other people see her while other thinks in what she has said before-that she gives hope to the young American people and to the world.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYFsssYQYiSxKdTtAydC3tfaxiHoV_Gogw5Hoshri8BCXbAi3ck4XA_mRTUr4HpGP4Lr6X2yQVZUHv96Qgo3gsRXtStIuzH0dQBc7XY9acdrY1YljtPghmbbBfnczzpe-bik8V-_yQhoKS/s1024/paris-hilton--ap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="703" data-original-width="1024" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYFsssYQYiSxKdTtAydC3tfaxiHoV_Gogw5Hoshri8BCXbAi3ck4XA_mRTUr4HpGP4Lr6X2yQVZUHv96Qgo3gsRXtStIuzH0dQBc7XY9acdrY1YljtPghmbbBfnczzpe-bik8V-_yQhoKS/s320/paris-hilton--ap.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Her money and its effects- Being the heiress of the hotel magnate, Paris is destined to practically get what her grandfather has earned through hard work. That virtually gave her the chance to live a life in full liberty, luxury and expensive items to swing over her neck. And unlike many other women who came from well-respected American royal families, Paris Hilton was raised as a princess but with the exception of refined character, intelligence and elegance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her immense money deprived her of the trainings that life could give her to become a well thought-of personality. Beautiful people, as it was once written, were those who have suffered trials, went into the deep caves of suffering, and endured life's tests and in the end, triumphed life's challenges and turned out to be the souls that contribute much for the benefit of the world and humanity. Well, that keeps Paris Hilton way beyond the borders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her money also bought her way into the spotlight of Hollywood. She can pay even the most expensive publicists without even scratching the surface of her wealth. These people can bring her almost instantly into the public's eye without having to endure the experience little people have to go through just to get even 30 seconds of fame.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her popularity- Many people have various opinions on her popularity. Some people see her as nothing but anther beautiful face pampered with money while many maintains that she is someone worthy of all these media exposure. Some people admit that without her fortune, she would be reduced to a witless, skinny woman who, in case you have met her in the street, would not even catch your single glimpse.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a wonder for so many that she gets the popularity she has now. Maybe the media created her but also, maybe it is the public that brought her into popularity. But, definitely, she has contributed nothing, except pay some good publicists plus the leisure of subjecting herself and her unwanted attitude to extreme public scrutiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>On some aspects, she is being treated like a beneficial goddess who has contributed much for the welfare of young people and the world in general. Well, she has promised some time ago that she would donate something for the unfortunate which could have made her popularity useful. There are still no updates on this issue though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Further, there are lots of people who doubt her fame. Is she famous because she buys it with her money or is she famous because people see something special in her? This questions, along with numerous others, have doubted the mysteries of her popularity. Nonetheless, so long as people are eager to read or write her stories, so long as the media gives her airtime, so long as the internet continues to talk about her and so long as her money gives her the insurances, she will always be the epitome of an American Princess that speaks well of her qualities.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-40273002670627911812021-09-10T17:44:00.002-07:002021-09-10T17:44:15.762-07:00Solo Female Travel in Latin America - Safety Tips For Women<p> A common question seen on many travel forums is "how safe is it to travel to X (one on the Latin American countries) as a solo female traveller?" It is fully understandable why travelling alone to Latin America can seem an intimidating prospect, particularly if you are a woman. However, women who have already been to this region of the world know there is no need to post this type of question. All of the countries in Central and South America are generally safe to visit as a solo female traveller. There are, however, some areas that pose a risk and these should be avoided.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTB4viHY2D2sirWx42xgsv3zPOtGpnScQXRB1yCfF6g2b32GwUx6A8i2D0G-pZBGK7PyMxnoZk1S6hpFHbQQKLU9q1amQKhBAZMmdIPjj72VnNW7f68sv6u-PMC-4IP9pa7iiqLu_eprd1/s640/wanita-solo-traveling.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="640" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTB4viHY2D2sirWx42xgsv3zPOtGpnScQXRB1yCfF6g2b32GwUx6A8i2D0G-pZBGK7PyMxnoZk1S6hpFHbQQKLU9q1amQKhBAZMmdIPjj72VnNW7f68sv6u-PMC-4IP9pa7iiqLu_eprd1/s320/wanita-solo-traveling.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Many of the large cities in Latin America have areas that aren't particularly desirable and you should stick to the main tourist or modern parts of these cities if you visit them. This includes all of the major cities in Central America (i.e. Belize City, Guatemala City, Managua, Mexico City, Panama City, San Jose, San Salvador and Tegucigalpa). There are also certain parts of South American cities that should be avoided such as Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Sao Paulo in Brazil, and Caracas in Venezuela. As with the large cities in Central America, stick to the touristy areas and you'll be fine. You should also take care when visiting particular areas of certain countries such as in Colombia and Venezuela. For example, it isn't a good idea to hang around the border regions of Colombia or travel to obscure, off the beaten track destinations. Although Colombia and Venezuela get some bad press they are both relatively safe to visit if you stick to the top tourist destinations mentioned in reputable travel guides. If somewhere is mentioned in a reputable guidebook, it is almost certainly safe to visit.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitcvGD-c-3JuAtrpvfOMCRX_GePEA8Z6jyBkfhB1tdRYEm8TsDsedoK5rKfTZdjhR-5ow3vH50FSFjjykoDYUtEt1vbc8DiZ4MZnerqSRf4OvuWbI5_llTJjm8pIns7xU7ws69Nl-74GcJ/s650/2f2a43b6-5324-454b-816e-91f182b471a4_169.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="366" data-original-width="650" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitcvGD-c-3JuAtrpvfOMCRX_GePEA8Z6jyBkfhB1tdRYEm8TsDsedoK5rKfTZdjhR-5ow3vH50FSFjjykoDYUtEt1vbc8DiZ4MZnerqSRf4OvuWbI5_llTJjm8pIns7xU7ws69Nl-74GcJ/s320/2f2a43b6-5324-454b-816e-91f182b471a4_169.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>This leads to an important point in the discussion. It is very easy to get paranoid about visiting certain countries and cities but this is totally unwarranted. Remember, it's only certain parts of these countries and cities that are best avoided, just as certain parts of cities in Europe or North America are best avoided. In fact, travelling around most of Latin America is far safer, and more pleasant, than travelling around many parts of Europe or North America. Additionally, as Susan Griffith rightly points out in 'Travelling Solo as a Woman in Asia' "there is a pernicious mythology surrounding the lone female traveller, whether it be as a hitchhiker around Britain or a traveller in Southeast Asia. Many people instantly exaggerate the perils and dwell on a single woman's vulnerability. Often this doom-ridden response is just an excuse for their own timidity of spirit." Don't get paranoid: the countries of Latin America are no more dangerous than many other countries in this world, and in reality you are more likely to encounter problems in some European countries or North American states.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc850LiKcFa9SanF5lQmdu8v3QGX3t0gr7-b6Tkf5KTlk2pSkv3lLB1k6L0VEhR4iAepmDcYdvlewM7q5R85kxyvOYBE2Pybeq0gwNIE7mmmR9WsqpDtm9K09N8G8BimJ46GxSD49lXfr0/s600/trav-e4b6218288a6655fb58eb96b49a6e4fa_600x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc850LiKcFa9SanF5lQmdu8v3QGX3t0gr7-b6Tkf5KTlk2pSkv3lLB1k6L0VEhR4iAepmDcYdvlewM7q5R85kxyvOYBE2Pybeq0gwNIE7mmmR9WsqpDtm9K09N8G8BimJ46GxSD49lXfr0/s320/trav-e4b6218288a6655fb58eb96b49a6e4fa_600x400.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Referring back to the classic question seen on travel forums (i.e. how safe is it to travel to X as a solo female traveller) it is worth mentioning the responsibilities and abilities of the individual. Safety is inherently linked to knowledge and experience. Whenever planning a trip to Latin America or anywhere else in the world, it is absolutely essential you do your research. Try and find out as much information as you can about the country or countries you wish to visit. Travel guides such as those produced by Lonely Planet and Footprint will help you decide which places you want to visit and those you might want or should avoid. The internet is also an invaluable source of information and there are many websites dedicated to the concerns of solo female travellers. We often hear people described as being 'streetwise;' if the definition was applied to travel rather than the urban environment, some travellers could be easily be labelled as 'travelwise' (i.e. having the shrewd awareness, experience, and resourcefulness needed for survival in a difficult, often dangerous overseas environment). Travel experience (particularly in the third world) goes a long way in ensuring safety. This is because people with extensive travel experience evaluate risk more effectively and size up situations more successfully. Thus, it's fair to say that overall safety is partly dependent on the qualifications (age, knowledge and experience) of the person posing the question.</p><p><br /></p><p>To a large degree safety is simply a case of being sensible and staying alert. For example, flaunting items such as expensive cameras, jewellery, or mobile phones is likely to attract opportunist thieves. Similarly, putting your day pack on the luggage rack of a public bus rather than keeping it on your lap or by your feet is asking for trouble. The key message here is don't take any unnecessary risks. You might fancy a late paddle on Copacabana beach (Rio de Janeiro) but any guidebook will tell you not to visit this area after dark. You might want to hit the bars and clubs in Quito but leave your valuables in your hotel. You might want to get drunk in the nearest disco but don't try walking back to your hotel late at night. It's all a matter of common sense really.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main issue for solo female travellers is the threat of sexual harassment from local men and even male travellers. While male travellers might be a problem on occasions, you need to be aware of the culture differences between Latin American men and those from your own country. Machismo attitudes are fairly widespread among Latin American men and it is advisable to follow local practice and take your cues (i.e. how do local women deal with prolonged eye contact, etc) from local woman if you don't want to be the object of curiosity. Appropriate dress and conduct will attract less unwanted attention from the local men. It is a sad fact that many local men view Western women as promiscuous. This impression is largely due to how some women dress. Acting drunk and a bit wild is also bound to create the sort of interest you are trying to avoid. You need to balance your sense of adventure with an awareness of cultural differences. It is also important that you listen to and trust your instincts. If you are in a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable as a woman, you need to follow your instincts and leave.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most countries in Latin America are well established on the 'gringo trail,' hence, there will always be opportunities to hook up with other travellers. This will greatly reduce any hassle you might get. This should not deter any woman from travelling alone as this can be a rewarding and empowering experience. There is probably nothing more satisfying to a solo female traveller than knowing she forged her own path.</p><p><br /></p><p>While it's true that there are specific concerns for female travellers, the risks that are out there shouldn't stop you from hitting the road. There are thousands of solo female travellers currently exploring Latin America and you could be one of them</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-56577591363204087482021-09-10T17:40:00.003-07:002021-09-10T17:40:42.746-07:00Accra Ghana - A Popular Tourist Spot<p> Accra is one of the contemporary and wealthiest cities on the continent of Africa.

The new name honors Abu Dhabi's ruler Khalifa bin Zayed.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiACBcs4cEA3kasLAplTwfGj3E54uyOPY7ihZw-PoDkGLyS4r6dkrHrseTnqBWZ2rDCD0WNWFlB1lyTm2U9EfWfCFuQolQI0asRPTYq_83DalgZP2T4YmcRPb24UDSBTFiJY61kYX_KP1e/s1200/bG9jYWw6Ly8vcHVibGlzaGVycy80NjgwOS8yMDIxMDQyNTEzNTgtbWFpbi5jcm9wcGVkXzE2MTkzMzM5MDcuanBn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiACBcs4cEA3kasLAplTwfGj3E54uyOPY7ihZw-PoDkGLyS4r6dkrHrseTnqBWZ2rDCD0WNWFlB1lyTm2U9EfWfCFuQolQI0asRPTYq_83DalgZP2T4YmcRPb24UDSBTFiJY61kYX_KP1e/s320/bG9jYWw6Ly8vcHVibGlzaGVycy80NjgwOS8yMDIxMDQyNTEzNTgtbWFpbi5jcm9wcGVkXzE2MTkzMzM5MDcuanBn.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Burj Khalifa itself is made up of high-class residential apartments (residences), the luxurious Armani Hotel, four magnificent pools, high-tech office space, an exclusive residents' lounge and an elite cigar club, not to mention state-of-the-art fitness amenities for its residents and an observatory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some remarkable facts about Burj Khalia, the world's tallest building:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm-9v20bzjDonyS9wRQAjoutHmalXIMUBcsS4gmPvo8pO91cYT5xkrEh9nLz7MB-r4jZb3K8-q03Wut6FyL0WRBdWWOFS94R2mqbhc7Wd2thK6AiCc7cSeA6tFJulEBImoGdX8bhLQOW1v/s500/Burj_Khalifa_building.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm-9v20bzjDonyS9wRQAjoutHmalXIMUBcsS4gmPvo8pO91cYT5xkrEh9nLz7MB-r4jZb3K8-q03Wut6FyL0WRBdWWOFS94R2mqbhc7Wd2thK6AiCc7cSeA6tFJulEBImoGdX8bhLQOW1v/s320/Burj_Khalifa_building.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The highest residential floor is on the 109th floor with the observation deck at the 124th floor.</p><p>The world's tallest skyscraper uses double-decker elevators to present a futuristic look</p><p>Artistically designed to withstand Dubai's towering temperatures in the hot summers, the exterior fascia contains 22,000 cladding panels made of a reflective glazing, engrained with numerous stainless steel tubular upright fins and aluminum and textured stainless steel spandrel panels</p><p>At 828m, the building is taller than the Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio de Janerio (396m) and the Victoria Peak Mountain in Hong Kong (552m)</p><p>The antenna height of Burj Khaliafa is 828m (2717ft) and it cost $1.5 billion to build</p><p>Interestingly, the next tallest building is the world, the Taipei 101, with an antenna height of just 509.2m (1670.6ft) cost $1.76 billion.</p><p>Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable floors versus the Taipei 101 which has 101 habitable floors.</p><p>It has a floor area of 334,000 m2 (3,595,100 sq ft) while the Taipei 101 has a floor area of 412,500 m2 (4,440,100 sq ft)</p><p>Burj Khalifa can only hold the title of "the world's tallest building" for so long.

We have to ask ourselves when over 70% of the US populations and the overwhelming percentage of people in Israel and other countries have already been inoculated with this mRNA experimental drug why then is there such a drastic increase of infections? This when summer is the time of year when influenza viruses drastically decrease. And, why so many physicians around the world have now warned about the harmful side effects of experimental mRNA technology use as a vaccine? They now support a complete halt to it's usage.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm2Lxcjo4tPz73n5khsWtP7zgwpF26owNgG-r1gQ09XdYUUHRs04y1j0OzEFyNtzcdr8_ZLcZBKRuJmWI679bta0OlbGJfZIDvPxN_yUmLEwCKX5RG5cglD7h-_qwmsJm9kR-7hkp5RBpf/s750/612cad8a10a0d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="750" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm2Lxcjo4tPz73n5khsWtP7zgwpF26owNgG-r1gQ09XdYUUHRs04y1j0OzEFyNtzcdr8_ZLcZBKRuJmWI679bta0OlbGJfZIDvPxN_yUmLEwCKX5RG5cglD7h-_qwmsJm9kR-7hkp5RBpf/s320/612cad8a10a0d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>It is not just coincidence that Covid-19 cases are drastically increasing and yet, the overwhelming emphasis is on continuing administering this experimental drug. when so many have been inoculated is a sure sign that there is another motive for doing so.

We have to remember what happened right after Hurricane Katrina when it struck New Orleans, Governmental response was too little too late. Hurricane preparedness was woefully inadequate and as a result people died needlessly and thousands suffered unimaginable horrific conditions. Since then we have had ample time to rectify and secure the proper protocols in place to ensure Katrina like conditions don't repeat. Yet, when this latest hurricane hit still people remained without sanitation, power, and fresh water, And, people died.</p><p><br /></p><p>The United States had decades to prepare for the aftermath of natural disasters and have failed in every instance. In this day and age there is no excuse for what happened and is happening in the aftermath of hurricane and there is no excuse for what is being forced on the public with an experimental drug that is known to be more dangerous than the virus is is supposed to arrest.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is actually being reported is that the most vaccinated countries the United States included have the most Covid-19 cases while the least vaccinated countries have the lowest number of Covid-19 cases. All this points the inability of this experimental drug being used as a deterrent for contracting Covid-19 is a very false assumption. The so called vaccine doesn't work and is causing untold harm to millions all around the world.</p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-58171007077066262952021-09-10T17:22:00.003-07:002021-09-10T17:22:40.134-07:00Important Considerations When Buying A Tattoo Machine<p> If you want to open a tattoo studio or if your tattoo business is growing and there is need to renovate, then high quality reliable equipment is a must.

There are different types of tattoo machines with the most common being a rotary, coil and pneumatic tattoo machine.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFOAHkGkvCKxqxQ1HspZ3uOgBNOPykZA4BfAxLUFS3KCCfQplxts2i3wYxxfqQwQd6gaAmIbB4r8BcvZbED0l1qf7GhGeYL9vh8uJ4HKWwM6jK9UTAPbd7i8h_WeEOBqRm0V-VS2pVUSO4/s800/Buatan-Swiss-Motor-Sunshine-Rotary-Mesin-Tato-Liner-Shader-Motor-Pistol-Tato.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFOAHkGkvCKxqxQ1HspZ3uOgBNOPykZA4BfAxLUFS3KCCfQplxts2i3wYxxfqQwQd6gaAmIbB4r8BcvZbED0l1qf7GhGeYL9vh8uJ4HKWwM6jK9UTAPbd7i8h_WeEOBqRm0V-VS2pVUSO4/s320/Buatan-Swiss-Motor-Sunshine-Rotary-Mesin-Tato-Liner-Shader-Motor-Pistol-Tato.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>They come with pros and cons with regards to costs, operation, maintenance and power requirements.

Those that are in good condition will perform better and safely without risking injuries on your customers. Examine it closely if you can before buying. If you are getting it online, then review the photos carefully, especially when buying used tattoo machines. Sometimes it is best to choose a brand new one to get superior quality and exceptional condition.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM0G3fuAsJi3hissOIgv52mo-hzC-P7Uxy0lWzFaY5-3w3_TVW-zwzj7yAD-RoVppAw61047SPmSBmHjCR6Xzt5vQsSUKc6lXyqk5TOvmFv_06lXBqe4F1OeC-RsFWD7PTb5Syf1PxMJx4/s600/Terlaris_Set_Mesin_Tato_Liner_Shader_Tinta_Tatoo_Paket_Mesin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM0G3fuAsJi3hissOIgv52mo-hzC-P7Uxy0lWzFaY5-3w3_TVW-zwzj7yAD-RoVppAw61047SPmSBmHjCR6Xzt5vQsSUKc6lXyqk5TOvmFv_06lXBqe4F1OeC-RsFWD7PTb5Syf1PxMJx4/s320/Terlaris_Set_Mesin_Tato_Liner_Shader_Tinta_Tatoo_Paket_Mesin.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Cost - Used models can be cheaper but you definitely stand a higher chance or enjoying better value with a new one even if it means adding a few coins. There are different models in the market and they differ in pricing usually because of their construction and features. The rule here is to choose one you can afford, but one that will serve all your tattooing needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ink - It is among the important tattoo machine supplies you must consider when purchasing your unit. How much ink will it hold? Remember some tattoos can be very large in size requiring a good amount of ink per sitting. A good tattoo machine should hold a reasonable amount of ink before requiring a refill so you can have an easier smoother time doing even the larger tattoos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Size - The size can determine how light or heavy it is. A tattoo gun can be small and manageable but there are bigger models and you must think about how weight might interfere with your tattooing process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tubes and needles - The needles are in different sizes for specific function and the tubes hold these needles in place as skin penetration takes place. There are reusable and disposable versions. Think about how easy it is to clean and sterilize the reusable needles and tubes between tattoos and think about how many needles sizes it can handle to match customer preferences.</p><p><br /></p><p>When buying your tattoo machine, you can also consider kits to ensure that you get all supplies for it. With the kits, you will be able to go right into business without having to start sourcing for the supplies you need to get started.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-42195342547031360642021-09-09T04:14:00.001-07:002021-09-09T04:14:09.332-07:00The Best Luxury Hotels in Lloret De Mar<p> Lloret de Mar is situated in the southern part of the Costa Brava.

These flats, depending on the city, cost anywhere between 2 crores to 50 or 60 crores and take longer to sell than non-luxury apartments.

Indian marbles color vary quite a bit as compared to Italian marble. Or in other words, appearing different is easier.

And, it is heavy. As we all know, heavy things are expensive to ship. Unless you are very rich, chances are that you may not be buying the best quality in Indian marble. Cracks and more importantly, porous stones, may be common in Indian marble. That is, if you are far away from Makrana. And often, the stone is covered by transparent epoxy. It holds its looks. Yet, the touch is gone.That's the Indian. What about the Indian marbles?</p><p><br /></p><p>The short answer is it is good. If you need convincing, just look at Victoria Memorial and Taj Mahal. Both stood the test of time. Both have been standing for centuries now. The color ranges in Indian marble include black, brown, green and pink.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the marbles, such as Katni marble, has nice shades and patterns. It may not be as strong as Makrana, which is milky white, but still, it looks are really interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which one to choose, then?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any marble surface is good. After all, you can re-polish its surface after few years and you will get a new surface. If you are looking for cheaper marble, you may want to go for the Italian marble. However, there is not much variety of them. Indeed. There is not much variety of figures and colors. So, your option may be limited. If the color available is what you want, then this is not a problem</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-80161459933198102292021-09-09T03:59:00.002-07:002021-09-09T03:59:28.403-07:003 Simple Tips for Building Homes of Your Own Success<p> Building Homes of Your Own is a computer game where you are challenged to get a loan, select and purchase property, design and build a house, and sell it for a profit.

First, you need to remember that you are not designing the house for yourself. You will be given different situations depending on which property location that you choose. Most design something they would want to live in while ignoring the demographics of the surrounding area. The surrounding houses and neighborhoods are big clues to whom you may want to sell your house to. You must check the demographics for information surrounding your property. For example, average population age is very important.

For example, if you design a very large house with the most expensive interior choices, you will not be able to make as much profit on your property.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhysiuzn6cIs94DuhnAkRjCk8N7uV_wAY5Us2IN-weA9ckAveU_JLePQsVf_GBBUUEZuB1OyQGFnKRIiwd79YO91uDjvbroS-9hzV8LFBfj2fXNRRkWeUCi7DjhgUEfV728Wuav4AXvbsOa/s735/e807290be0230f92e6f3f2c50fc9777f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="735" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhysiuzn6cIs94DuhnAkRjCk8N7uV_wAY5Us2IN-weA9ckAveU_JLePQsVf_GBBUUEZuB1OyQGFnKRIiwd79YO91uDjvbroS-9hzV8LFBfj2fXNRRkWeUCi7DjhgUEfV728Wuav4AXvbsOa/s320/e807290be0230f92e6f3f2c50fc9777f.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Third, planning for your house designing decisions is the most critical step that most people overlook. There are three planning phases you need to consider. The "site phase," where you find and purchase your property. The "building phase," where you decide on your floor plan, exterior, and interior. The "sell phase," where you advertise and sell your house to potential buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your home will be judged by how much profit you make on your property. You must be able to find the right buyers by checking their credit information. They will be rejected by the bank for a home loan to buy your property if they have bad credit. A score of 70 percent or higher means you can go on to the next level.

Clutter also makes even the largest of attics feel cramped, thus doing the same to an already small room needs to be avoided.</p><p><br /></p><p>Making good use of the space in your attic room is important so keep this in mind when planning your design theme. You could try going with a minimalist interior decorating scheme as this will make the room look more spacious. No matter what you go with, don't forget to be positive you enjoy it, this should be a cozy, comfortable space.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI3i9ReAb0iuJvSJTgtzPI5XCb6-EyfMV26gNdd4ClLWvO2e2BRuzrRYjDBMS65HHzom5RHd134Yk0CuKoA4JvlBpks79EgQ6Dz9iKIj1t0t2hCtf7WkY9IdfiDdrfRuIPszBEPlCuo2sx/s640/desain-kamar-tidur-loteng-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI3i9ReAb0iuJvSJTgtzPI5XCb6-EyfMV26gNdd4ClLWvO2e2BRuzrRYjDBMS65HHzom5RHd134Yk0CuKoA4JvlBpks79EgQ6Dz9iKIj1t0t2hCtf7WkY9IdfiDdrfRuIPszBEPlCuo2sx/s320/desain-kamar-tidur-loteng-5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>When decorating a small attic bedroom you might also plan out things such as furniture and accessories placement. If you desire a decorating style that looks great plus enhances your life, consider employing the ideas of Feng Shui when decorating your attic room. Arrange furniture away from your doorways, since you'd be surprised to discover how much straightforward access to and from a room could make it look bigger. This might even also draw attention to a bigger piece such as a big mirror.</p><p><br /></p><p>Small or medium sized furniture is your best bet when decorating a small attic room. In place of having bureaus, consider using underbed storage which will make the room look bigger while still allowing storage of clothing. It makes sense to add unique charm to your attic room by mixing in particular larger scaled items, so in conjunction with the underbed storage, add into your design a big cheval mirror, they will compliment each other and also add unique appeal to the room.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxwHVWPLNRopt9acSjEdxM0eco4GY-F0j3ZfK1vpzn02JArRAuFZIVKCRasgrGeh0YuI0F0HBCMnIurdz3W8a9mOEtR9qrKFzfqEg0NnAKFzm_WIW1NZ8AohkUBGJWt21v53Nph2Itqz1/s640/desain-kamar-tidur-loteng-header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="640" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxwHVWPLNRopt9acSjEdxM0eco4GY-F0j3ZfK1vpzn02JArRAuFZIVKCRasgrGeh0YuI0F0HBCMnIurdz3W8a9mOEtR9qrKFzfqEg0NnAKFzm_WIW1NZ8AohkUBGJWt21v53Nph2Itqz1/s320/desain-kamar-tidur-loteng-header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>If you can paint your attic room, then the shades that you choose tend to play a key role in making it look larger. You don't need to purely use white colors when making up for smallness in a room. You should be able to have color while still making the attic room seem less small by choosing colors which have equal brightness, or sticking to a monochromatic decorating theme. You might go subtle with a blue decorating theme, or if you seek more color try blue, purple and green that all reflect an equal tone and intensity. You will additionally add appealing charm and depth to a room if you paint one of the walls an intense, deep hue. To give your walls the impression of receding, and therefore the room appearing bigger try using pale tints. If you think gray will be too oppressing, you can really paint with any cool shade such as blue or purple to achieve the same effect.</p><p><br /></p><p>These techniques allow decorating a small attic bedroom to be easy and also effortless. Purely because your attic room is cozy doesn't mean it can't acquire the same interesting interior design style you see in designer houses - it basically requires a little creativity and imagination.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-56008549903343329232021-09-09T03:42:00.003-07:002021-09-09T03:42:41.878-07:00Doghouse Plans - Selecting the Proper Size Doghouse For Your Pet<p> Before you purchase dog house plans there are several things to consider. It is very important to select the proper size Doghouse for the safety and comfort of your pet. The first step is to measure your dog to determine which category he or she may fit into. If your dog is just a puppy then you need to refer to the list of breeds below to estimate the size your dog will be at approximately one year old.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjflJG7hGao0VpMEzHLQnDaBlf89OEvuyIdYYFqZAaZjUBPAxKQ5snMfgz5sFad8JrMVZRSziDrA05lrtNU4B6EUZfUgLuzpa-5L3LOXfh26Yg0_PmE0B1KhuLUmnBYpbGGn0rdOc_h8z/s375/048815400_1543485936-rumah_anjing-20151026-editor-009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="211" data-original-width="375" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjflJG7hGao0VpMEzHLQnDaBlf89OEvuyIdYYFqZAaZjUBPAxKQ5snMfgz5sFad8JrMVZRSziDrA05lrtNU4B6EUZfUgLuzpa-5L3LOXfh26Yg0_PmE0B1KhuLUmnBYpbGGn0rdOc_h8z/s320/048815400_1543485936-rumah_anjing-20151026-editor-009.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The typical sizes of doghouses are small, medium, large, and extra large. Be sure to choose a plan that is large enough so your dog can easily turn around inside. The interior width and length of the dog house should be equal to or greater than the overall length of your dog excluding his tail. Choose a width that is an inch or more, greater than the length of your dog. Select a length that is approximately 30 percent greater than the length of your dog.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS-9k5hoWEGao4FfsKTw5OAGSbopkELHTJQDdi8glHxz1liuFEAd8uC4dLwM84pAa5cSEcVwJNJ0bT5sWbuVjWpYUpRypy76MfirIUV-FE-ubzuZPoBZop_lOhrvMJlO-CTU6Rc3L4ryjD/s500/89212582_5248855d-d962-4f9d-8500-917d0416ac7f_986_750.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS-9k5hoWEGao4FfsKTw5OAGSbopkELHTJQDdi8glHxz1liuFEAd8uC4dLwM84pAa5cSEcVwJNJ0bT5sWbuVjWpYUpRypy76MfirIUV-FE-ubzuZPoBZop_lOhrvMJlO-CTU6Rc3L4ryjD/s320/89212582_5248855d-d962-4f9d-8500-917d0416ac7f_986_750.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The interior height of the doghouse should be 25 percent greater than the overall height of your dog. As an example; if your dog is 20 inches tall from the top of his head to his paws the interior height should be 25 inches tall.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be sure the door is large enough that your dog can enter the doghouse without crouching. A good rule of thumb is to make the door opening a minimum of 1 inch taller than the height of your dog as measured at his shoulders. Your dog will lower his head as he enters the dog house.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIETiI8dcTTkvMtm79abd6nqPdCyOiB0kH3pIzZedGkoHPemAE1XwfsK3pVbnGJVooI4P3SV6wiI9MJnZ6YLXZxio92V3gPxac3y19wOO5UPlE6iOEIPEY_35trnaALp2LMThqZ1bzMKc1/s700/7086_tips-sebelum-membuat-kandang-anjing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIETiI8dcTTkvMtm79abd6nqPdCyOiB0kH3pIzZedGkoHPemAE1XwfsK3pVbnGJVooI4P3SV6wiI9MJnZ6YLXZxio92V3gPxac3y19wOO5UPlE6iOEIPEY_35trnaALp2LMThqZ1bzMKc1/s320/7086_tips-sebelum-membuat-kandang-anjing.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Select a small, medium, large, or extra large doghouse plan to suit your breed based on the list below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Small Dog House Plans for Small Breeds:</p><p><br /></p><p>Chihuahua, Dachshund, Pomeranian, Toy Poodles, Toy Terriers, or Yorkshire Terrier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Medium Dog House Plans for Medium Breeds:</p><p><br /></p><p>Beagle, Boston Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Shih Tzu, Scottish Terrier, or Welsh Terrier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Large Dog House Plans for Large Breeds:</p><p><br /></p><p>Basset Hound, Chow, Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel, Husky, Labrador Retriever, or Shar Pei.</p><p><br /></p><p>Large Dog House Plans for Large Breeds:</p><p><br /></p><p>Akita, Dalmatian, Doberman, English Setter, English Sheepdog, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Rottweiler, or Weimaraner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dog House Plans, Tips for the Handyman:</p><p><br /></p><p>o Choose a design with an overhang to keep the inside of the doghouse dry in rainy weather.</p><p><br /></p><p>o In colder climates, select a plan with 2x4 framing to allow for insulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>o Slope the floor of the dog house slightly towards the door.

This will be great to keep the nesting house floating. Join the two pieces of styrofoam together with 2 pieces of 2x4 or simple boards, leaving a space in between them. Once you have a solid foundation for the floating house, build a platform over the styrofoam with wood boards. Make sure not to use pressure treated wood, which is bad for the environment.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4RUVVld0musFvDj3-GB07X53po4lwep41HW__Y89fSGMnaUSHK82yBdSl1IH753UvzR2zJQZ2ZFMAU9dW2CCvWnAOcKSnc6GVRIS-ui7mUmkcsGyzAk9omeKu8GT9xAHgwxp4HUVejvs/s640/ef9c4142729f4494dbe590ebe2353173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="442" data-original-width="640" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4RUVVld0musFvDj3-GB07X53po4lwep41HW__Y89fSGMnaUSHK82yBdSl1IH753UvzR2zJQZ2ZFMAU9dW2CCvWnAOcKSnc6GVRIS-ui7mUmkcsGyzAk9omeKu8GT9xAHgwxp4HUVejvs/s320/ef9c4142729f4494dbe590ebe2353173.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Build a House to Put on Top</p><p><br /></p><p>It will be much better not to have the duck house sitting right on top of the platform. The Mallard house needs to be elevated a little, this is good for a floating house as well as a house on solid ground. This is necessary to protect the nest from getting wet from the rain and the possible waves of water coming on the platform on windy days. For houses on the ground, the possible variations of water elevation in the pound may flood the duck house after a big rain storm so you need to keep that in mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>How to Make The Nest</p><p><br /></p><p>To build a nest for the ducks, get a piece of plastic covered fencing that has about tree feet high by 5 feet long. Cover it with some straw hay and roll it like a cylinder of about 12 to 15 inches. Roll it completely and attach to fence together to make it stay tight. Thigh wraps will do the trick. Install the nest on the floating platform giving it an elevation of about twelve to fifteen inches.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can do that by installing two pieces of wood across the platform. Them build a roof by using two pieces of plywood and installing them on the top of the nest forming a triangle shape all the way to the platform. Make sure the roof is longer than the nesting tube to provide protection at the entrance and the exit of the tube. This is a very basic design but that will make the Mallards happy and a will be a safe place to lay their eggs. You can find other ideas to make a more stylish Mallard house and still make it with materials you may already have at home.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-36923853778245433322021-09-09T03:34:00.001-07:002021-09-09T03:34:57.544-07:00How to Make Your House Look Bigger From the Street<p> As an Architect, in designing new homes for clients, they first come to me with standard tastes you would see on any house in any neighborhood.

Make your house longer, not square. Most people want to make their houses more square in design, in the preconceived notion of saving costs. While this may be overall true, it also makes your house very small looking (and boring). For a 2500 square foot house instead of designing it 50 foot by 50 foot, make your house longer like 75 foot long by 33 wide. You'd be surprised how much more elegant and more expensive it looks for not that much more money. It also gives you a bonus of giving windows into almost every room in your home, giving light and visual space to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Use the Split level home concept. The split level home was more prevalent in the 1960's than it is today, but it has a lot of advantages if you modernize it. The Split Level pulls the basement out of the ground. In most of the northern part of the country (I'm from Indiana), you need at least a 30" or deeper footing to get below the local frost line. Well, let that be the staring point of your basement (or as I like to call it, the Lower Level). That means the Lower Level is 2 feet below grade, which means you can have full size windows. The Lower Level foundation wall is 30" tall, the rest of the wall height can be wood instead of concrete (whether 8' or 9' tall) which saves costs. If you use 8' tall lower level (to reduce costs) there is a design I like to use to eliminate bulkheads for HVAC;...incorporate the ducts in a floor truss system. I love to use 16'' high floor trusses, 24" on center, and keeping the trusses in the same orientation throughout the house. It gives plenty of space for the HVAC ducts in the floor truss system, and no bulkheads, meaning less cost since you have flat ceilings and no extra framing for those bulkheads. If you need space for the HVAC to "step over" each other, do that in the mechanical room.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83PAM8AOoYMRClp8aZ1UyGwkgWA6yALUwvikryu4svCiyO3JeQOH26z8x-rlO_aeLLzo5JcgAFl4UekO6VLnrnyUImErR32fsE1gAO4VgyQ_fyfEg1R1Ayp4LeUOFKpgBUUXlGOMwYFbK/s804/rumah-jl-timbul-jagakarsa-6540052da6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="603" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83PAM8AOoYMRClp8aZ1UyGwkgWA6yALUwvikryu4svCiyO3JeQOH26z8x-rlO_aeLLzo5JcgAFl4UekO6VLnrnyUImErR32fsE1gAO4VgyQ_fyfEg1R1Ayp4LeUOFKpgBUUXlGOMwYFbK/s320/rumah-jl-timbul-jagakarsa-6540052da6.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>3. With the split level home, The 2nd Floor (or the "Main Level" as I like to call it) it anywhere from 7 to 9 feet above grade, not only giving it a commanding view of the property all around, it also looks like a 2 story building, for a 1 story price. You can leave windows open at night because the window sills are 10 feet above grade. You have a lot of visual privacy because people on the street don't have a direct view into the house. When you sit down they can't see you, even if you have lots of windows. On the Main Level I love to use vaulted roof trusses on the Main Level to give more visual height in the rooms.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Use wide overhangs. Wide overhangs were more prevalent during the Prairie Style period This may seem strange, but wide overhangs (like 4' wide) make you house look bigger both inside and outside. As I stated above, I love vaulted roof trusses. I start with an 8' tall wall (rather than 9'). With a 4 foot overhang and vaulted roof trusses, the wall height on the inside is now 10' (8' wall, 2' in the roof truss), with the ceiling peak at 15'. This is because the roof started "going up" further away from the exterior wall. I'm getting 10 to 15 foot ceilings for an 8 foot tall wall price. The wide overhangs also help in summer, by shielding the windows in shade, keeping direct sunlight outside.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6T02eZgYxf5c631qZ6A3JRSBCpeEheIjiH3xhNYQLav5Re198jf4K9eXZN7MuVaHHwYXFMxrTIMnqbPEO7CpNlsCsuSXQ0CNq8083JGXwhpUZl7c3u7EIa58iDogeMTu12OzZyN0jUku/s1200/ye2hq0rx3wkjp2zq1thp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6T02eZgYxf5c631qZ6A3JRSBCpeEheIjiH3xhNYQLav5Re198jf4K9eXZN7MuVaHHwYXFMxrTIMnqbPEO7CpNlsCsuSXQ0CNq8083JGXwhpUZl7c3u7EIa58iDogeMTu12OzZyN0jUku/s320/ye2hq0rx3wkjp2zq1thp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>5. Incorporate decks and screen porches into the design. Don't make decks and screen porches an afterthought, but incorporate them into the design, that is, put brick or siding on them, put a roof over them, and make the openings look like windows, but don't put in the glass. And consider putting them on the front of the house, not the rear. I designed a house for my parents which was 1300 square feet on the Main Level, but added the screen porch on the front of the house. The house was 72 feet long in the front (24' screen porch, 16' Great Room, 8' Entry, 24' Garage) and it looks huge. (if you want to see it, go to my Web Site (Web address down below), Home Page, near the middle of the page, "Click Here for More House Photos", and it's the 1st photo. The screen porch is to the left) The Screen Porch interior is finished in moisture resistant drywall, so interior feels like any other room in the house, (it also has vaulted ceilings) but it's not heated or cooled. It is the most lived in space of the home. Having the screen porch or deck on the front of the home gives you more community with your neighbors, while it can give you more privacy. On my home, the deck has a solid wall from grade to 42" above the deck floor. This gives visual privacy when sitting down, but when I stand up, I can converse with then neighbors (42" is also leaning height for your elbows). As a bonus, with the split level home, the space below the deck (since it has siding and the floor 7' above grade) and the roof above the deck, I have an 18 wide 28 foot long shed below the deck for lawn mowers, bikes, tools, which I don't have to keep in the garage.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Downplay the garage. There's nothing visually pleasing about a garage. The most important rooms of the home (Great Room, Dining Room, maybe the Screen Porch) should have the most visual presence on your home. Having a monster 24 foot by 36 foot garage sticking out the front of you house is not good looking. Set it back from the front of the home, and if you can, put toward the rear of the house. Use a side entry on the garage doors if you can. And put lots of normal windows like the rest of the house. Try to make it look like any other room from the street. By down playing the garage and making look like another room on your home, it'll make your house seem bigger when it really isn't. If you're one of the homeowners who eventually turn their garage into living space, having the garage look like a normal room from the outside makes it easy for this conversions. Just remove the garage doors and install window sizes like the rest of your home.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Use lots of repetitive windows. By using the same window size over and over in a long pattern, it'll make the house seem longer. And these don't need to be operable windows. Fixed windows are less expensive the operable windows.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666005335563843327.post-47197441008197939822021-09-09T03:27:00.002-07:002021-09-09T03:27:44.972-07:00Minimalist Architecture For New Home Designs<p> If you are looking for modern house designs especially designed for style and functionality, then choosing Minimalist house designs and plans is right for you. It makes use of clean, geometric lines to create a sleek look. This is great for house design with limited area space. You will be able to make full use of all the space. It is simple, stylish and effective. To achieve a full minimalist effect, most houses use multiple function elements. The heater, for example, could be directly installed in the floors or walls.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLhYvAxI6PafUwb91bMpAhY_Ac-EDNodgLPl5J41ki8kzjdKZB_Kp-CpMALWB499JiR0ehGnZywOxkZHjC_Ztj9JZKpALvlgVfjSOnj-LHhfw9Vx9nnNececYcEkaPBRpgsmL4gy5Y3t-/s960/desain-rumah-minimalis-sederhana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="960" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLhYvAxI6PafUwb91bMpAhY_Ac-EDNodgLPl5J41ki8kzjdKZB_Kp-CpMALWB499JiR0ehGnZywOxkZHjC_Ztj9JZKpALvlgVfjSOnj-LHhfw9Vx9nnNececYcEkaPBRpgsmL4gy5Y3t-/s320/desain-rumah-minimalis-sederhana.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Lighting is also very important when it comes to minimalist architecture. It makes use of only high quality lights, because the idea is to create a simple effect. Also, the colours black and white are very common. They are usually the basic colour of minimalist design houses. Sometimes, dark wood is also used for the floors. The roofs are usually flat, unlike regular houses. This is to further create a simple effect. It pays attention to the cleanliness of the joints of the walls as well. This is another reason why minimalist design makes use of flat roofs.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVK__oIjT13txEqSozGJNj2ytO-x1BS-QLtvw_lQnCl5k7JN7lThfB1N2AF5Ki10s_9sPLTlxE4qKkG3ZUmwouJS9tzv2cvuRybhE2wBKjygQqxtcEM7_EiNnnxdB_fVXSJ-tMv2KqVnT/s1024/Rumah-minimalis-sederhana-1024x1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVK__oIjT13txEqSozGJNj2ytO-x1BS-QLtvw_lQnCl5k7JN7lThfB1N2AF5Ki10s_9sPLTlxE4qKkG3ZUmwouJS9tzv2cvuRybhE2wBKjygQqxtcEM7_EiNnnxdB_fVXSJ-tMv2KqVnT/s320/Rumah-minimalis-sederhana-1024x1024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Pops of colour brighten the minimalist designed house. Bright colours like red, yellow and orange provide an interesting and aesthetically pleasing contrast to the overall design of the house. They usually take the form of vases, artworks, or simple pieces of display furniture.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to know more about the latest in home design, it would be best to consult new home builders. They can design homes for you in any style you want. They can easily make use of the minimalist design. You can look at their various house designs and plans to see which one works for you. You can also look at a few house design and plan, for some inspiration.

It's reported to provide a superior matte finish that is very subtle. The product is translucent with a tinge of color that doesn't clog pores.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its website product promotes itself as a luxury highlighter and contour powder that creates a smooth finish. And, it is one of the top powders on the makeup market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ben Nye knew what he was doing. This is marketing at its finest.</p><p><br /></p><p>A bit about Ben Nye and his business.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to Wikipedia, Benjamin (Ben) Nye, Sr. was a famous makeup artist for the Hollywood film industry. He worked on top names from the 1930s to the early 1980s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of his expertise, Nye founded the Ben Nye Makeup company in 1967. The company highlights the use of its products by renowned makeup artists in both the theater and film industries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a savvy business man, Nye transitioned into makeup for the general public. And, with the connection to Hollywood and celebrities, he had powerful built-in endorsements.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does quality matter in marketing and business... and makeup?</p><p><br /></p><p>Absolutely.</p><p><br /></p><p>While Nye had the right connections, if the product wasn't extraordinary, it's popularity wouldn't have taken off. In the makeup business, Nye did what he did best. He created makeup that worked. He created a product that made celebrities look better and a product that makeup artists wanted to use and found easy to use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Putting together a great product (high-quality makeup), the right tools (makeup artists), and the right target audience (celebrities), Nye created a powerful marketing mechanism.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why Nye's business was successful and still is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, having celebrities use your product is a definite plus. It brings the 'wow' factor to a product. It provides the potential for a product to skyrocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, again, without a quality product the rockets would quickly whimper out.</p><p><br /></p>cingorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991990822055711486noreply@blogger.com0
