A piercing alarm went off in Harold Chapman's room. "Good morning, Harold!" sounded a robotic voice.
"It's Harry," he grumbled, his voice croaky from just five hours of sleep, as he crawled out of the cot.
It was Wednesday, Dec. 15—the 478th day of Harry's work on Neo Cleveland. He still couldn't call himself a morning person.
In space, though, there was no real way to know the time of day. His dimly lit, 10 x 7 foot room was filled with simulated sunlight pouring in through the panes of a fake window.
Before floating out the door, he grabbed the coffee held out to him by a robotic arm. "Have a nice day, Harold!" the room said enthusiastically.
"You too," he said with a sarcastic laugh. Outside, he bounced up to a ladder and worked his way up past other rows of rooms, towards the watch tower.
Harry, the lead watchman of Neo Cleveland, had an important but boring job. His two shifts (9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. – 2 a.m.) allowed for very little personal time. The station's AI helped notice things, but even in the year 3000 C.E., computer detection was no substitute for the human eye.
Before Chapman came aboard, the colony was in full operation, nestled in a captive asteroid orbiting around Earth. Construction had taken decades, but the decision to secede had been long in the making.
For centuries, taunting of the Cleveland Browns had worn away at the city's sports scene, until the football stadium stood empty at every Sunday game. Despite continued earnest reconstruction efforts, lasting socioeconomic stigmas kept outside investors away. When the 23rd "Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video" reached one trillion views on YouTube with no noticeable boost to the local economy, the town had had enough of Earth.
Developments in orbital colonization provided the escape. In a famous pre-secession speech, Cleveland Governor Gregory Tope said, "If you can't join 'em, leave 'em."
Since departing from the surface, Cleveland has seen continuous economic growth. The city has profited greatly from sales of vacation travel packages to "Earthers" eager to see the once humble Cleveland skyline set against the breathtaking backdrop of space. The Cleveland sports scene has similarly been revitalized as orbital training under variable artificial gravity has given the Cleveland Browns the upper hand against their planet-bound competitors. All in all, Cleveland was doing pretty well.
Perched high above the colony in the bubble watch station, Harry Chapman wasn't seeing much of the point.
He sipped a blob of coffee, checking a few screens for anything unusual. "Nothing. What a surprise," Harry said, leaning back.
Chapman stared at the passing stars twirling around him like an infant's mobile, and slowly drifted off to sleep…
beep beep…. beep beep… The almost quiet but persistent proximity beacon in the otherwise silent room woke Harry from his slumber. He'd never heard a single peep at work before.
This beeping couldn't be a good sign.
He scanned the glass pane, and saw a small pale dot. It could be nothing, but just in case… Harry called the captain. "I think I'm picking up on something. I'll send you the coordinates," he said, keying numbers into his console.
As he continued to calibrate his sensors to determine the object's nature and velocity, the captain returned, "Uh, Harry… look again."
He did. Over the still chirping "beep beep…," Harry could see the object had doubled in size on his visual feed.
When Harry zoomed in, he saw a large, glowing asteroid. It was larger than Neo Cleveland.
He ran some quick calculations, hoping to be wrong, but the results confirmed his fears. "A direct hit," he muttered to himself.
The captain also heard. "At the rate that thing is moving, it'll be here in a few hours. Move out of the area immediately," he said. "If we push away, Neo Cleveland will be safe. Good eye, Harold."
Harry paused, eyes fixed on the projection of the rock and its path. "Sir, if we move, the asteroid hits Earth."
The silence on the intercom was deafening. "What do we do?"
The calls came streaming in from planetside. Neo Cleveland was not Earth's only orbital colony, but it was by far the largest controlled object between Earth and the danger.
The governments of Earth knew what needed to be done, and Harry did too.
It could cost them their lives, but if Neo Cleveland was used as a shield between Earth and the asteroid, Harry explained, the planet could be spared. With enough momentum, Neo Cleveland could collide with the asteroid, break it apart, and direct the wreckage away from Earth. They would have to start accelerating the colony soon which meant they were quickly running out of time to evacuate the colony.
The captain uttered only one word: "Go."
Sirens, klaxons, and evacuation alerts swept through the colony, but Harry continued to simulate the collision – they were only going to get one shot at this. He sent directions to the captain, and the demise of the satellite was set.
He joined hordes of passengers rushing to the emergency shuttles. Havoc ensued as the panicked, floating citizens pushed and shoved trying to reach the shuttles to safety.
As the vessels started to break away from the colony, it became apparent there wasn't going to be enough ships to hold everyone. The once-deafening alarm could no longer be heard over the screams of the terrified colonists.
Harry contacted the captain as ushers did their best to direct women and children to board the remaining escape pods first. "Sir, there are not enough escape pods for everyone," said Harry.
On the other end, the captain's sobs were soft before the com line clicked off.
Stuck in space on a colony speeding toward certain annihilation, the people of Neo Cleveland were trapped. For a moment, Harry stared down at his hands, helpless in the chaos. A small girl floated by him, looking for her mother. She rubbed her teary eyes, her cries barely audible over the screams and alarms.
We'll make everyone fit, Harry thought. Joining the ushers, Harry pulled the small girl by her hand to an open escape pod. He urged passengers to cram together, heedless of the crafts' recommended safe operating capacities. The craft would lose maneuverability, but as long as they left the colony, they'd be safe. Harry hoped the rescue crews from Earth would arrive soon: the life support systems on these shuttles couldn't support this level of overcrowding for very long.
"Stay calm," he told the passengers.
He pushed through the crowds, throwing stragglers into the remaining shuttles. Even the captain, whimpering in a corner, found a spot. As the final emergency shuttle launched from Neo Cleveland, Harry and the other colonists watched from rows of portholes as the colony shot off into space, headed directly for the asteroid.
The asteroid grew larger, approaching. The colony grew smaller, departing.
Come on… urged Harry, clutching his fists.
In 42 escape shuttles, the entire population of Neo Cleveland held its breath.
There was no sound from the explosion, thousands of miles away in space, as it spread into the surrounding area sprinkling bits of debris like a burst piñata.
Indistinct wreckage of Neo Cleveland drifted by the shuttles, and Harry saw a block of wires with a robotic arm attached, twitching back and forth as if to wave goodbye.
Cleveland's greatest accomplishment had been destroyed.
Over the shuttle's com line, a fuzzy voice announced, "Cleveland, you've just saved the world. Over."

TOKYO, MAY 23: Toyota Motor Corp, the world??™s biggest automaker by market value, said it is investing 3.82 billion yuan ($476 million) with one of its partners to make Camry sedans in China to boost its share in the world??™s third-largest vehicle market.
The company will make 50,000 Camrys this year at its factory in Guangzhou, China, it said in a statement today. The company plans to eventually build up to 200,000 units depending on demand,
Toyota executive vice president Yoshimi Inaba said in an interview on May 18.
Toyota is trying to win customers in China from rivals General Motors Corp and Honda Motor Co. Toyota has 5% of China??™s passenger car market after it began selling locally made cars in 2002. Toyota makes Vios compact cars with FAW Group Co and will produce the Camry sedans with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. ??????We will add more models,??™??™ Inaba said, declining to elaborate which models will be added. ??????The story isn??™t going to end with just the Camry.??™??™
Toyota, which has invested 215 billion yen ($1.93 billion) in China so far, currently has annual production capacity of 3,40,000 units in the world??™s most populous country. The automaker plans to expand total production in China to 6,90,000 units eventually. The carmaker has 116 dealers for its Guangzhou venture, 280 for FAW and 12 for Lexus luxury vehicles in China, Inaba said. The automaker will stop exporting the model to China.
It currently ships about 2,000 to 3,000 Camrys a month.
Honda Motor Co, which started local production in China in 1999, already has a venture with Toyota??™s partner Guangzhou Automobile and produces the Accord, a direct competitor to the Camry. The Camry will cost between 197,800 yuan and 2,69,800 yuan, with 2 or 2.4 liter AZ engines made by Guangqi Toyota Engine Co, another joint venture with Guangzhou.
In China, the Accord is offered from 1,99,800 yuan to 2,89,800 yuan with engines ranging between 2 to 2.4-liters, while Nissan Motor Co??™s Teana is available for between 2,19,800 yuan to 3,61,800 yuan with 2 to 3.5 liter engines. GM sells its Buick Regal for between 1,83,800 yuan and 2,84,800 yuan. Toyota has an annual global sales target of 6,50,000 units for the Camry. The Camry will also be produced in Russia and at a Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. factory in Indiana in 2007. The venture has an annual capacity of 200,000 units.
Toyota will develop a new small four-door low-priced car to meet growing demand in emerging markets, including Brazil, Russia, India and China, as well as Eastern Europe, Inaba said.
???There is a general need for a cost effective model with good quality,??™??™ said Inaba. ??????It??™s going to be a passenger four-door model.??™??™
Currently about 40% of China??™s vehicle market is comprised of mini cars and commercial vehicles. Toyota competes in the remaining 60%, Inaba said. Toyota??™s smallest vehicle sold in China is the Vios compact car that comes with either a 1.3 or 1.5-litre engine. Toyota is ??????absolutely interested??™??™ in the mini car segment, Inaba said. Local makers currently dominate the market with lower prices and Toyota has not yet found a way to compete. Toyota plans capital spending of 1.55 trillion yen this fiscal year, two-thirds of which will go to expanding production machinery for new or redesigned vehicle models , according to Koji Endo of Credit Suisse.
??????Toyota??™s strategy in China should work once it gains more share in the small car segment and gains a higher profile,??™??™ said Ashvin Chotai, an analyst for Global Insight Inc.

Arnold Warren : biography
Arnold Warren (2 April 1875 – 3 September 1951) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire between 1897 and 1920 and played for England in 1905. He was the first bowler from Derbyshire to take 100 wickets in a season, a feat he performed three times.
Warren was born in Codnor Park, Derbyshire, the son of John Warren, a builder, and his wife Mary.British Census 1881 RG11 3320/115 p45 He made his debut for Derbyshire against Lancashire in May 1897. During his time at Derbyshire, he was partnered by Billy Bestwick in a dangerous fast-bowling partnership that never gained much reward because they had very small totals to bowl at. Though rarely judged a better bowler than Bestwick, it was owing to his superiority as a batsman and fieldsman that Warren gained the pair's only England cap against Australia at Headingley in 1905.
He played in the Headingley (Leeds) Ashes Test of 1905. A very tall, right-arm fast bowler who operated off a long, bounding approach, he took 5 for 57 in the first innings of a drawn match. Although he dismissed the cream of Australia's batting, taking the prized wicket of Victor Trumper in both innings, he was not selected again.
In 1910, when playing against Warwickshire at Blackwell Warren scored 123 in less than three hours in a ninth-wicket stand of 283 with John Chapman. This remains a world record in all first-class cricket.
Warren died in Codnor, Derbyshire at the age of 76.

Alice White Merlot 2006
External Review by Premium Wine & Spirits:
Soft and appealing for its pretty plum fruit, finishing with a light burr of tannin.Add winemaker's notes
External Reviews for Alice White Merlot
Soft and appealing for its pretty plum fruit, finishing with a light burr of tannin.
This Merlot-for-the-masses is nothing fancy, but it has bounciness on its side. Smells just as it tastes: fleshy, red plums, with just the slightest hint of oak on the finish. There are few red wines that this reviewer would ever put on ice, or in the fridge for a few minutes, but this is one of them.
Light and refreshing, with pretty blackberry and currant flavors and crisp tannins.
This pleasant, fruity style has straightforward blackberry and spice flavors that linger. Drink now.
This is fruity and light, with a candied edge to the raspberry flavors. Drink now.
This 100% Merlot boasts flavors of black cherry and cassis, then a long, clean finish leaves you wanting more of this Australian delight.
Smooth in texture, with a distinct herbal character up front, finishing with plum and chocolate flavors as the oak comes through. Drink now through 2009.

Company S, as a new manufacturer in the motor scooter market, must develop marketing strategies to ensure the continued motivation of its new channel partners, in order to secure sales and garner its share of the marketplace. These channel partners have a strong loyalty to the competitors products; but with the proper mix of sales strategies, Company S will be able to penetrate the marketplace and develop strong and lasting sales partnerships.
Five Strategies for Motivating Dealerships as Intermediaries of Company S:
1. Incentive Programs
Company S will provide a strong incentive program for the dealerships, such as quantity discounts based on the number of scooters the dealership sells. The more scooters the dealership sells, the lower their cost to purchase the merchandise. One advantage of such an incentive is the building of a partnership between Company S and the dealership. The disadvantage is the increased cost to the Company.
2. Increased Profit Opportunities
Company S will also increase dealership motivation by providing additional profit opportunities. This includes providing the dealerships with marketing and advertising and sales promotions, as well as offering the dealerships credit terms on their product purchases. Through these opportunities, Company S will strengthen its relationship with the dealerships. Again, the disadvantage is through an increased cost to the company by means of advertising dollars and carrying credit terms.
3. Sales Quotas
A tried and true strategy for motivating dealerships to increase sales of a product is through sales quotas. By setting a sales quota for the dealers to meet each month, Company S will encourage the dealerships to increase sales. This method has the distinct advantage of not costing the Company and funds. However, the disadvantage of this strategy is through the means of coercive power versus a partnership with the Company and dealers. With Company S being new to the marketplace, coupled with the dealerships strong loyalties to the competitor products, this strategy will be especially difficult to achieve.
4. Create Partnerships with the Dealers
Company S should create partnerships with the dealers and allow them the opportunity to participate in decisions regarding the distribution of the product, such as sales promotions,...

A brand is the highly focused, abbreviated communication that conveys the essence of what makes you or your company different from and better than your closest competition. It is the distillation of your extraordinary promise of value expressed graphically and in the fewest words possible so that your target market can quickly grasp that you are a match for them. People like to do business with people like themselves, people they feel they can trust. Therefore, a successful brand accelerates the speed of trust and empowers potential referral sources to easily spread the word about YOU.
In our Language of Luxury blog we often offer examples of non-real estate related products and services that clearly illustrate these branding principles. And, we often are asked how this applies to luxury real estate personal and company branding. The fact that this is not obvious is what prompted this post. The principles of excellent branding and brand strategy are the same for all products and services. And, the role of the brand strategist is to make the non-obvious, obvious.
A strong brand makes what is implicit about you or your company, explicit, and does so with an economy of imagery and words. A great brand is like a flawlessly cut diamond that allows the maximum refraction of light. All of the individual facets of a great brand work together to communicate a singular message that creates demand and compels action to buy products or engage service professionals.
The role of a brand strategist is similar to a diamond cutter who knows exactly how to take a diamond in the rough and bring out its utmost brilliance, which is not obvious to the untrained eye. What is truly unique and valuable about you or your company may not even be obvious to YOU. It is often the case that the precise definition of your ideal client is also not obvious to you. These factors must be discovered and articulated first. Only then can you develop a successful brand strategy.
Our case study of Cuties, a brand of California Clementine oranges, illustrates what can happen, from a strategic standpoint, once you fully articulate your unique promise of value and sharply define your target market. They were able to exponentially expand their target market by accentuating and amplifying their distinguishing value proposition. Cuties now targets BOTH parents and kids as their ideal customers because their fruit is not just sweet and seedless like naval oranges, for example. Cuties are small which means they are easier to handle for kids. And, they are easier to peel for small children than other oranges.
Expanding the target market to include kids as a brand strategy was the non-obvious made obvious. The unique combination of Cuties' features lent itself to a flawless brand strategy that cannot readily be imitated, a strategy that is also expressed in the brand's kid-friendly personality.Cuties now "owns" the brand position and the very concept of "kid-friendly orange", a whole new, uncontested sub-category of oranges that they identified, claimed and now dominate.
The ultimate triumph of a brand strategist is to enable a brand to "own" a single word or brief phrase, in the minds of their target market, within a given product or service category. To illustruate this point, Volvo owns the word "safety", FedEx owns "overnight" and Xerox owns "paper copies".
There is a tremendous amount of focus that goes into crafting a strong brand and also into developing a powerful brand strategy. But, it is an exercise in futility if the aim of branding is not fully understood. The purpose of brand strategy is to achieve top-of-mind status and secure the lion's share of the business. Brand strategy ONLY applies to what we call the "unabashed pursuit of market leadership". If you are not interested in being #1 or #2 in your marketplace or a niche therein the purpose of brand strategy simply will not be obvious to you.
Please understand this: Making a good living in marketing luxury real estate does not require being a market leader. But, gaining or sustaining market leadership, if that is your choice, requires expert brand strategy.
At Napa Consultants, International, we make gaining and sustaining market leadership through brand strategy accessible to small business owners and local service professionals. As brand strategists in the realm of marketing luxury real estate, we only work with incumbent market leader or their challengers in a given marketplace (or niche therein).
We seek a 360 degree perspective in the "discovery process" through which we ask dozens of questions to identify what is unique about our client. One of the first things we do is meet our clients, in person, in their marketplace. We ask them to take us on a tour of their world. We want to see the homes they represent, the homes they have sold, and the homes they are targeting to list. We want to understand their neighborhoods, the lifestyle, and meet people that live there. We ask them to treat us like someone who has come to buy real estate in their town.
We immerse ourselves in the marketplace, in the buyer's/seller's point of view and also in the point of view of our client. Then, together, we analyze the competition, which often reveals what we call "an underserved or uncontested market niche". We look for the vulnerabilities of the competition and determine how best to position our client as distinct. Finally, we develop a brand strategy that can either secure our client's top-of-mind status, if they are the incumbent, or displace the current market leader, if they are the challenger.
Only when all of this is accomplished is the new brand identity crafted through graphic design and website design. Their brand strategy usually requires an expertly built and optimized website to execute their strategy which we also create for them.
Making the non-obvious, obvious to a clearly defined target market is our role as brand strategists in luxury real estate marketing and also the marketing of all other products and services. It takes precision to craft a strong personal or company brand. And, it takes an energetic entrepreneurial spirit to embark on the unabashed pursuit of market leadership.

Whilst they may look similar, winches and hoists are made for different activities. Generally, winches are designed to pull heavy loads horizontally over a level surface or a slight incline. Hoists, on the other hand, are made to lift loads vertically over inclines that are over 45 degrees. Both of the tools lessen the burden of heavy lifting.
How Winches Typically Work
Winches use either a cable or rope. In turn, the tension that is created pulls the object. A winch drum can be powered by hydraulics, by air, by electricity, or by hand. Most of the winch drums used are manufactured with fabricated steel. They are designed to carry specific loads.
A winch is rated by the optimum load that it can pull with the bottom layer of a cable or rope on the drum. As the layers of rope increase, the line pull in turn decreases by about 10%. Therefore, winch size is based on the surface level, mobility, and the amount of weight being pulled.
How Hoists Operate
Hydraulic lifting equipment in the form of a hoist allows users to lift heavy items such as construction materials. Hoists are therefore ideal for jobs that necessitate lifting or lowering heavy loads. Hoists are usually designed with a wire rope or chain and are operated by motor or manually. Powered hoists are driven by hydraulic motors, electricity, or pneumatic engines.
Manual hoists are levered, ratcheted, or cranked by hand. Typically, air chain hoists are suggested for lifting heavy materials at sites that are dusty or feature a fire risk. As a result, you can select from one of various hoists. The devices are rated by the load being lifted, the period of use, and where the application is applied. Therefore, you need to make sure that your hoist is not undersized and is working in an environment that can withstand certain temperature ranges.
Never Use a Winch Where a Hoist Should Be Applied
One of the distinguishing factors between winches and hoists is the braking. Most winches that are used off-road are equipped with dynamic brakes and a gear system that can easily hold a load. The brakes utilise the gears in the tool to prevent the lifting of suspended loads. Therefore, using a winch as a hoist could lead to a hazard. Either the load could slip or the gears could be stripped.
Hoists use a braking system that display a physical brake that locks any suspended content. In addition, hoists, unlike winches, do not feature a freespool design. As a result, a hoist is a safer tool for lifting content. The risk of slippage is vastly reduced. The device is also equipped with a load-limit switch. Therefore, a hoist will never lift more than its capacity.

In the latest in our series looking at graduates of non-traditional universities who have gained City training contracts, we meet James England, who studied Law with Business at Portsmouth University and is due to start at Mayer Brown in March 2018.
What's your background? Why did you choose Portsmouth for your degree?
I studied Law with Business at university and graduated in 2014. Prior to securing a training contract with Mayer Brown, I spent 18 months working as a management consultant in technology based sectors, then completed the LPC. Outside of work, I play a lot of sport and like to travel (when time permits!).
I underperformed at A Level, which limited my choice of university. At that time, Portsmouth had just opened a new business school, and was moving up the UK ranking tables for law.
How did you enjoy your time at university? Do you have any regrets over your choice? What were the best and worst bits?
I really enjoyed university and have no regrets over choosing Portsmouth. I received close access to lecturers, a strong support network, and structured guidance throughout my degree. The sports and social scene was good too.
Worst: some fairly low moments in my final year wrestling thick textbooks.
Best: It's a cliché, but the close friends I made will always stand among the highlights – some wild parties on Margate Road also come to mind.
When did you first aspire to work at a top commercial firm? How did your ambitions evolve?
I spent the summer before my final undergraduate year on placement in the commercial department of a national law firm. It was a great experience and from this point, I was confident I wanted to qualify as a solicitor.
As I developed professionally, both the specific practice areas which interest me, together with the type of law firm I want to build a career at, became clear.
Did you feel at a disadvantage compared to other candidates when making applications or going to interviews because of the university you attended? Did you encounter any difficulties that you could attribute to your university background?
I struggled to secure interviews during my degree; it was challenging to overcome the weaker areas in my profile (GCSEs/A-Levels). However, after graduating with a first class degree, working closely with senior management teams of global corporations in my postgraduate employment, and completing the LPC with distinction, I felt confident in my application.
I never felt disadvantaged attending assessment centres/interviews, because in person, all applicants are on an even playing field. I did get a real grilling in a couple of interviews (everyone does). But these revolved around my early academics, rather than university. Ultimately, I believed myself to be a strong candidate, and was proud to have attended the University of Portsmouth.
When did you first come across Mayer Brown? What was your early interaction with the firm and how did you pitch yourself to them in your application?
I was invited to attend an open day at Mayer Brown upon reaching the 2016 Aspiring Solicitors UK Commercial Awareness Competition final. I subsequently completed a vacation scheme with the firm.
I placed emphasis on my commercial experience and ability to build and maintain positive working relationships; from consultancy projects I had led, to founding and running a profitable limited company. I then tried to draw parallels between how my strengths and values are aligned with those of Mayer Brown.
What advice do you have for students with ambitions to work at a big commercial firm, who aren't at one of the traditional 'prestigious' universities?
Grades matter. Strong academics are a prerequisite for any big commercial law firm. Set out to achieve the best grades possible throughout your degree.
Be organised. Having a coherent strategy to navigate the vacation scheme application process is important. Start early by compiling detailed research on selected firms, noting key dates/deadlines, preparing for interviews etc.
Network. Apply to Open Days/events/law fairs. These are accessible opportunities to get under the hood of a law firm, make a positive impression, and determine whether that firm is a good fit for you. Remember it's a two way process!
Quality is key. A well drafted application will stand out (regardless of university). Aim to demonstrate a clear understanding of how Target firm operates as a business, the challenges it faces, the opportunities…
Sell yourself. Applications/interviews are platforms to showcase why 'you' are the right candidate for Target firm. Show personality and convey what it is about you which will add value and return profit over multiple business cycles.
Stay committed. Securing a training contract is an arduous process, but worth it. Keep motivated and don't give up!

Past couple of weeks have been very exciting for young cricketers of Nepal and the excitement is likely to continue. Imagine meeting one of the best leaders of the game just before you're readying yourself for a major tournament. It's like going to your class science test after a lecture from Stephen Hawking.
Yes, meeting Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Indian cricket captain, just before the U-19 Asia Cup might do more than good to the youngsters, who start the tournament playing against India – arguably the strongest side in the competition. After all, this man is known to have inspired Indian team to World Cup title.
Dhoni's arrival and his influence on Nepali cricketers is likely to fill headlines in coming days. He is to meet the local cricketers and have a pep talk with them.
But have you considered this: Had our cricket calendar got right, Dhoni would have been able to witness Nepali cricket in action. For, he would have arrived in the midst of National cricket championship. Sadly, it was shelved. Few wrote about it, fewer discussed it.
Imagine a national championship being shelved. Does it hurt? Or in a state of confusion, it has become palatable? An everyday affair… Have our expectations lowered so much already? It should be remembered that the U-16 nationals coincided with SLC exams – the exam touted as the Iron Gate and where most 16 year olds and thereabouts are rigorously busy with books and not bats. The timing hardly worried many.
One can understand that the Cricket Association runs under political leadership. But there are enough names in the association team who have been involved in the game for long time. One would have expected some sense prevailing and these former cricketers be worried about where the next team would come from. ICC World Cricket League Division 4 matches might be played in September, and in absence of nationals, team selection is definitely going to be affected. It has been norm, for long long time now, that the nationals are also taken as selection tournament for the team.
Nationals have always been the stage for cricketers to perform, to shine, to announce themselves. In its absence, there is every likelihood that the national team would be unchanged. That also means that the players who are currently in the team would be unchallenged. Lack of challenge also means that the players might take their place for granted and become casual in their approach. And the team that impressed everyone during World T20 qualifiers could lose momentum.
Interestingly, there is no calendar made public for this year (not that calendar making was a ritual known to public in Cricket Association of Nepal), and hence cricket officials can even deny canceling the championship. But sane look at climatic conditions and a bit of history will tell you championship is not possible anymore. Monsoon and wet field will not allow it before Dashain festival, and following that everyone will be busy in preparation for ACC Trophy to be played in UAE (First week of October). So when is the time for national championship?
In CAN's defence, it can be said that the frequent general strikes in various parts of the country did not help organizing the tournament. Also the expected constitution on 27th of May had a sense of confusion all around. And along with that there was every chance that CAN would have to disturb the camp set for U-19 team (that is to play U-19 Asia Cup – in July – and U-19 World Cup – in August).
But then, Nationals is not only a stage where youngsters emerge. It is also a place to keep the players – who are not a part of the team – engaged in the sport. We already have a lot of 30-year-olds who have stopped playing cricket, after a decade of experience at domestic circuit. It could also be an opportunity to make use of that experience.

My name, as you already know, is Bruce Evans. I am, as I bragged in the beginning, 77 years old, with 5 children, 2 step-children, and 17 grandchildren. My wife, Anita, is a Social Worker in private practice. I have a bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, a master's in Religious Education, and my doctorate is in Psychology and Counseling.
I am a retired Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Louisiana and was in the private practice of individual, couple, and group counseling for 38 years. During this time I worked with hundreds of clients and couples, some individuals weekly for over 25 continuous years.
I have also been an ordained minister for 38 years, the last 34 as pastor of an ecumenical church in Baton Rouge, LA. As minister I have married, baptized, and buried hundreds of persons-- not, of course, the same or in that order, and preached thousands of sermons. During the course of my unorthodox ministry I have also evolved a theology focusing on fullness of life in the here and now rather than in a possible afterlife later-- a natural rather than super-natural way of viewing reality, a perspective on God as the ultimate in what is real rather than the traditional Cosmic Magician.
During the course of these two complementary professions I have written some 28 books and published hundreds of articles and poems from which these included on my Home Page are excerpted.
Good living, present tense, is, I have found, far more challenging than the traditional forms of preparing for heaven post-death; yet, I also believe, well worth the price and risks. My works-- articles, books, and poems, all arise from and amplify these perspectives.
All this is present life. If you're into genealogy, as I am, more details about my ancestors (or to check about any possible connections with your own) are included on my page under: "My Ancestors"
During the course of my ministry I participated in many phases of the civil rights movement in the South. When I donated my papers to the LSU Library in 1997 I was asked to prepare a summary of my involvements. Here is a copy of that summary:
1957: While serving on staff of 5,000 member, white and segregated, First Baptist Church of Baton Rouge, I was moved by the church's response to possible visits from black persons, especially making behind the scenes plans of how to deny entrance in the quickest ways.
1959: I became pastor of University Baptist Church, hoping to lead a group in what I believed to be a more Christian-like stance in ecumenical and racial issues.
1960: I was moved by Louisiana State House of Representatives passing segregation packages, including establishing of a State Sovereignty Commission. Threats by C.O.R.E. to become active in Baton Rouge led me to preach a sermon on University Baptist Church and C. O.R.E., an effort to begin facing racial issues more openly.
10/3/60: I preached on Christianity and Segregation, confronting the general situation in the South.
3/19/61: The Christian Attitude in the Segregation Issue, another message to the church, was intended to face racial issues in a more personal manner.
With the Little Rock tragedy and New Orleans violence in the immediate past, and facing the likelihood of Fall desegregation of schools in Baton Rouge, I began meeting with a small group of Baton Rouge ministers, including Rabbi Marvin Reznikoff, Dr. William Trice, Rev. Irvin Cheney, Father Borders, and others, to see what plans we might make to help the community face school desegregation without becoming violent. We concluded that the least we could do was publish a statement of principles that we believed all Christians should follow, as a way of encouraging citizens to act decently.
5/8/61: Joined 52 other ministers in Baton Rouge in signing and publishing a Statement of Basic Principles urging calm in school desegregation.
None of us imagined, I think, given the rather benign nature of the statement, the furor our action would precipitate.
5/13/61: An organization of laymen was formed to oppose our stand. They too published their principles, and privately many of them declared they would "get us all." Threats, abusive phone calls, phone tapping, and cross burnings followed immediately.
6/61: The first of many forced resignations began with Rev. Irvin Cheney of Broadmoor Baptist Church.
representative of the State Sovereignty Commission called on me late one Sunday night, presenting an extensive dossier of my life including
references to my "Communist leanings," and urging me to cease all efforts to
"integrate our state, or else." I was told that all our phones were tapped so
they would know "what we were doing."About this time Governor Jimmy Davis
appointed 3 members to the East Baton Rouge School
Board, effectively establishing its segregationist stance.
In 2006 I donated many of my records, genealogical research, correspondence, etc. to the Hill Memorial Library at Louisiana State University. These have been cataloged and are now available for viewing there. Here is a link to these papers, along with other biographical about myself:

From a Scott County perspective, it was a lousy weekend of football.
Not only did South Carolina upset Tennessee at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, 15-9, but both Oneida and Scott High came up short in crucial games, despite efforts that could have resulted in reversed outcomes had a handful of plays gone a different way in each game.
Oneida needed a win over top-ranked Meigs County to earn a home playoff game in Class 2A. Scott High needed a win over Northview Academy to earn a playoff game in Class 3A.
Neither happened, with the Indians coming up on the short end of a 28-6 decision against the Tigers, and the Highlanders falling to the Cougars, 35-18.
While Friday's outcomes weren't what local football fans — nor coaches or players — had hoped for, they did provide clarity to the postseason outlook, with just two weeks remaining in the regular season.
Oneida will likely finish as the No. 3 team in Region 2-2A, while Scott has been eliminated from postseason contention in Region 2-3A.
While the Indians can finish no higher than third in their region, guaranteeing them a trip to upper East Tennessee on Nov. 3, their opponent remains undetermined. A Cumberland Gap win over Rockwood in the regular season finale could complicate matters, dropping Oneida to fourth and sending the Indians to play the Region 1-2A champion. But that is unlikely to happen, which means the Indians will probably travel to the Region 1 runner-up.
What is already determined is that Meigs County will be the top seed from Region 2. Rockwood will be No. 2 and Cumberland Gap will be No. 4, unless the Panthers spring an upset next week, which means they would be No. 2, Rockwood No. 3 and Oneida No. 4.
In Region 1, Sullivan North has locked down the No. 1 seed, defeating Happy Valley last week. That likely means Happy Valley will finish as the runner-up, while Hampton will finish third and South Greene will finish fourth. However, Cosby can get into the playoffs with a win over Hampton, which would bounce the Bulldogs from the postseason, while South Greene can complicate the standings with an upset win over Happy Valley.
All of that seems unlikely, as there's a significant difference between the region's top two teams and the next two teams, with Cosby a distant fifth. So, in all likelihood, Oneida will find itself traveling to Elizabethton, Tenn., to face Happy Valley in the first round of the Class 2A state playoffs.
Happy Valley has lost three consecutive games after a 5-0 start — the same as Oneida — but those three losses came at the hands of stiff competition: Grace Christian Academy, undefeated Johnson County and Sullivan North.
If things pan out as expected, Oneida can earn an opportunity to travel to Decatur, Tenn., and rematch Meigs County with a win at Happy Valley. Meigs County will likely host South Greene in the first round. In the quadrant's other first round games, Rockwood is expected to host Hampton, while Cumberland Gap travels to Sullivan North.
The winners of the Meigs County and Oneida games will face off in the second round, as will the winners of the Rockwood and Cumberland Gap games.
"We've got three games guaranteed and we want to play a while," Oneida coach Tony Lambert said after last week's loss to Meigs County. "I told 'em we'll play as long as they want to play. We may see this Meigs bunch again."
That would be just fine with Lambert and his team.
"The referees at halftime said, 'Coach, we had a bunch of schools last week and we were so glad to have a game that didn't have a bunch of jawing and trash-talking,'" Lambert said. "That says a lot about our kids and it says a lot about their kids."
In Class 3A, Alcoa and Austin-East will be the top two teams from Region 2, though they still have to square off to determine which will be No. 1 and which will be No. 2. Barring a couple of major upsets, Kingston will be the region's No. 3 team, while Northview Academy will be No. 4. If the Yellow Jackets were to lose to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg-Pittman, while the Cougars stunned Austin-East, the order of the last two teams in the playoffs would be reversed.
In Region 1, Johnson County has sewn up the top seed, while West Greene can secure the No. 2 seed with a win over Chuckey-Doak. Unicoi County will be No. 3, unless it stuns Johnson County and West Greene falls to Chuckey-Doak. The No. 4 seed will be Claiborne, unless it loses to North Greene and Chuckey-Doak beats West Greene.
So, if things play out as they're expected to, Alcoa will host Claiborne, while Austin-East hosts Unicoi County. Kingston will travel to West Greene, with Northview Academy traveling to Johnson County.
Region 2 is substantially stronger than Region 1, and there will be those who will expect an all-Region 2 second round in the quadrant.
While Scott will not be a part of that playoff picture, Highlander head coach Keith Shannon said it's important that his team finish the season strong at Pigeon Forge next week.
"It's an all-in type deal for us," Shannon said. "It doesn't matter who, what, when, where. There's lights. There's lines on the field. There's a scoreboard. We're going to play for the fun of playing.
"We want to play well," Shannon added. "We want to end this thing on the right note and get things going for the future of the program. It's important for the future of the program to build on something positive. So we need to end this thing the right way."

The territory is constantly being contested by the various agents (narps working for manifestation-accretions). The fascinating thing is not the correctness of a particular manifestation but the competing of the relevant accretions. Consider the relatively recent biocentrism and its sceptics and debunkers. The Lanza-Narp has clearly been taken over by certain repackaged new-age philosophy accretions and now acts using his other accretive powers (scientific legitimacy) to proliferate these. The counteracting agents are clearly keen to undercut his status by pointing out being a respected scientist doesn't make you a respected physicist. The Lanza-Narp perceives something correctly (the manifestation of the epistemologically inescapable correlate), his mistake is to try to use the more solid-world agents' accretions against them. The actual phantasy the Lanza-Narp seeks to articulate is this: you don't know if perceived being is identical to unperceived being. This agnostic disjunction polarises the agents to defend their territory against the gap which neither of them can close.
The 'real' science with its pneuminous legitimacy knows there is a problem here and at least doesn't pretend it has closed the gap, though it does speculate. Agents of new-age/panpsychism/consciousness first accretions do have a practically unbreachable accretion because the phantasy of awareness altering the outside cannot be shown to be wrong. Furthermore it is hardly identical to any spurious invention of explanation (as the solid world agents like to say) i) because of its manifestation of cogency (it seems plausible awareness could have an effect on a putative 'outside*' and ii) because pneuminous interference incidents suggest something awry in the solid world accounts, thus supplying criteria for fluid world accretions and their agents. This of course does not amount to gap closing -but you can't blame them for trying.
*This 'outside' is the disputed territory of the umbratic.

Miami: The Magic City, 1920-1935
Welcome to Miami, the Magic City! The Miami you know today is but a mere vision, driving the development of this city in Florida in the 1920s. At this time, and in this committee, you will be faced with the need to attract residents to settle in Miami all while dealing with a constant increase in underground crime, the great depression that will affect the United States during the very end of the 1920s, and competition emerging from other nearby cities looking to become the most important city in Florida. You must all work together to bring Miami to the glory and iconic flare you know it deserves!

Reaction Paper 1 (Sample Reaction Paper)
You need it because you want to have understanding of how to write a reaction paper in order to make success of it. A good-written sample will provide you with the necessary information about the structure of this kind of paper, its content and the style as a whole. But this doesn't mean that there is no need for learning requirements after you saw a sample. Quite the opposite: you should have an exact imagination of the final look of your paper, so it is essential to learn the rules, formats and structure. The more so since not every sample reaction paper may be written the way your professor wants you to write. What is most likely, your professor wants you to do the next: to prove that you have read the given text; to prove that you totally understood it; and, finally, to demonstrate that you are able to use it in absolutely new and creative manner. Additionally, he certainly wants you to adhere to common accepted recommendations in regard to writing a good reaction paper. It has to be at least one full page, but not too broad and long, though; it cannot be any kind of summary; it has to be the evidence of the fact that you as a student understood the text and can handle a discussion about it; it has to include the reaction to the story itself, your impression and position; and, obviously, it has to be rather interesting to read.
SAMPLE REACTION PAPER - SlideShare
Sample Reaction Paper (from a different class)
A sample reaction paper is provided as an example. Each paper must have your name, paper number, and date in the upper right hand corner. Papers should be emailed to me as an attachment (in Word) or left in my mailbox (date stamped by a mailroom employee) in Room 1107 at Northridge.

Did you just move and have extra cardboard?
Or maybe you have leftover cardboard boxes after buying lots of beer for a party?
Well guess what?
You can profit from cardboard boxes recycling for money programs!
You will gain money and all you need to do is invest some time in collecting cardboard.
The first step is to collect cardboard boxes and then look for ways to resell and recycle the cardboard for profit.
Did you know that approximately 36 million Americans moved between 2012 and 2013?
This is based on numbers from the Census Bureau.
Think about all the cardboard boxes that were used!
People who are looking to move often purchase cardboard boxes from Uhaul or UPS in order to store all their belongings for the move.
Once they have unpacked all their stuff, the cardboard boxes are often thrown out or recycled at the local city recycling center.
Throwing out these boxes after moving is a waste since you could be picking up some extra cash instead.
There are companies that pay anywhere from 50 cents to two dollars per box depending on the size.
These companies then profit by selling the cardboard boxes to people who are moving to a new residence.
Keep reading to learn how you yourself can profit by recycling used cardboard boxes.
How You Can Start Your Own Cardboard Boxes Recycling for Money Program
There are multiple ways you can begin a paid cardboard box recycling program.
A number of different places allow you to collect boxes so that you can make enough money on recycling.
You'll need to take part in some legwork before making any money on this project.
So be sure to follow a great strategy for collecting cardboard boxes.
Easy Extra Cash! Join PointClub and get access to the best paid online survey opportunities. Take Online Surveys, Make Money, It's That Easy! No hidden fees and completely free!
1. Check Out Your Own House
You can start this process by looking around your own home.
Try to find the biggest boxes.
These are easier to resell and recycle.
Keep small or tiny boxes for your own storage purposes.
If you find a wardrobe box with a metal rod, you can resell this for more than two dollars.
Take a look in your attic, your basement, or your garage.
You'll be sure to find a few extra boxes collecting space for little reason.
The boxes can have writing on them but make sure they are not damaged and are in good condition.
This makes it much simpler to resell.
2. Talk to Friends and Family to Find Boxes
You'll want to ask your friends and family to see if anyone has any extra cardboard boxes lying around.
Once again, make sure these boxes are in good condition before taking them.
You'll find most people are happy to help especially if it means they'll get rid of large, unwanted boxes.
3. Take a Look at Craigslist's Free Section
If you spend some time browsing through your local Craigslist website, you'll find lots of people who want to get rid of cardboard boxes taking up space in their home.
Look through the Free Section of your local Craigslist site and you'll find people giving away their moving boxes for free.
You'll find a free section in your city.
Search through it and then you can go pick up cardboard boxes right by the curb.
4. U-haul Box Exchange Program
You can find the U-haul Box Exchange Program through an online forum developed by the U-haul moving company.
The online forum allows people to exchange cardboard boxes with each other especially when they're moving.
There are people who give boxes for free on the forum as well.
So check it out! It may be a great choice for you to get free cardboard boxes.
5. Freecycle.org
Another great idea is to check out the website Freecycle.org.
This particular website gives people a chance to give away some of their belongings for free.
Take a look at the site and see whether anyone is giving away free cardboard boxes.
6. Grocery Stores
Another great place to find some free cardboard boxes is your local grocery store.
These stores often have a bunch of boxes they no longer need.
Do you have a Savers or some type of cheap grocery store in your area?
Many places in the Northeast have a Price Chopper.
These stores tend to have plenty of cardboard boxes you can pick up for free.
In fact, store managers are happy to have these boxes taken off their hands.
7. Liquor Stores
We all have a local liquor store in our town or city.
The best part is that these stores often have extra cardboard boxes that were used to store wine, beer, and other alcoholic products.
A lot of these boxes are thrown in the trash after the beer, liquor and wine bottles are unpacked.
You can ask your local liquor store owner if you can pick up the cardboard boxes instead.
I'm sure they'll be happy to let you take them off their hands and recycle them somewhere else.
8. Starbucks
Coffee shops like Starbucks receive their products and shipments via cardboard boxes.
Several shipments come in every week.
The vast majority of their coffee products and food are packaged in cardboard boxes.
Ask the owner or manager of Starbucks if they're willing to donate these boxes to you.
It might be an easy way to recycle cardboard boxes and make some extra cash!
9. Bookstores
Do you have a few bookstores in your area?
Maybe there's a bookstore at a college nearby?
If so, you'll find that a lot of books are delivered to relevant stores in cardboard boxes.
Bookstores are a great place to find boxes in good condition.
Ask the managers if they can donate their boxes once in a while.
10. Local Businesses and Stores
There are lots and lots of businesses that often have extra cardboard boxes lying around.
These businesses are a great source to find some cardboard boxes to recycle.
Many businesses need office supplies and other products.
Some sell their products and need regular shipments.
These shipments often come in large and sturdy cardboard boxes.
These are great to recycle easily and make some money on the side.
Check out if any businesses are getting rid of their boxes on Craigslist through the Free Section.
You can also try calling up some local businesses on the phone to see if any have extra cardboard boxes they're willing to part with for free.
Be sure to call up businesses in your local region because there's no need to drive far distances to pick up cardboard boxes.
The math is on your side.
If you can collect up to 200 cardboard boxes, you can make anywhere from $200 to $400.
You can then go onto find companies and places that are looking to buy used cardboard boxes.
Reselling these boxes will leave your wallet full of extra cash.
If you're looking to take your significant other out on a fancy date or you just need a little extra cash to cover your monthly rent, reselling cardboard boxes is one good solution.
Where to Sell Cardboard Boxes
Now that you know where you can collect cardboard boxes, you're probably wondering, 'Who buys used moving boxes?'
After collecting these boxes, you can make some extra money by selling the boxes through Craigslist.
Check out the "For Sale" section and find people who are looking for boxes in order to move.
The fastest ways to get paid for your cardboard boxes, however, is through certain websites.
There are five specific websites you should check out.
If you want to get paid well for your large cardboard boxes, take a look at these five major websites:
Through these websites, you will make at least 50 cents per box and as much as $1.50 for every large cardboard box.
You could also look to taking your cardboard boxes to a recycling center.
How to Find Cardboard Recycling Centers that Pay Near Me
Try to call up your local recycling centers.
Take a look at a phone book in your area to find their phone numbers.
Ask those recycling centers if they can pay you for recycling cardboard boxes.
One or two will likely say yes.
Recycling centers often recycle paper, plastic, cans, and more.
So some cardboard boxes are definitely recyclable with these centers.
So take those boxes to the recycling centers and you will get paid in return.
How much do recycling centers pay for cardboard boxes?
Unfortunately, these centers won't pay you as much as moving companies like UPS or some other businesses.
They may pay anywhere from 10 cents to a quarter per box.
Selling boxes to people looking to move or as storage through the websites above may be a better idea.
You'll likely get paid more.
Conclusion: Keep Looking for New Avenues
Once you've gotten an idea of where to find these cardboard boxes and having a place to resell the boxes, you can begin to look for different avenues where you can recycle cardboard.
Get creative and think of new strategies.
The more boxes you can collect and resell, the more money you'll have in your pocket.
So remember – recycling cardboard boxes is a great way to make some extra income!

Takes a little longer, but the taste proves it's time well spent
Wednesday, March 21, 2018
Cooking "low and slow" yields the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth delicacy. This method seals the juices within, resulting in a more tender piece of meat. Certainly a lengthy process, but it will undoubtedly earn you top ratings.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place unpeeled garlic cloves in a baking dish. Toss with ¼ cup olive oil, coating well. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
Lower oven heat to 200°F (93°C).
Remove garlic cloves from olive oil, reserving the olive oil. Pop garlic cloves out of their peels into the food processor. Add reserved oil, kosher salt, pepper, white wine, and mayonnaise. Pulse until you have a creamy consistency.
Rinse and pat roast dry. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Sear roast in a large greased frying pan over high heat for about 4 minutes per side. Place in a large roasting pan and smear garlic-horseradish sauce all over the meat.
Place roasting pan on a lower oven rack. Roast uncovered for 1½–2 hours per pound of meat. Raise the temperature to 225°F (110°C) for the last hour. (Alternatively, you may bake the roast at 325°F (170°C) for about 18–20 minutes per pound, or until internal temperature reaches 130–140°F.) Remove from oven and cover meat until ready to slice.

Adventure park starts with a request. You order a call on our website, call us or write to us. Sales manager will answer you. His task is to answer the questions, to define what kind of park do you want and to explain how the park will look, and how much will it cost.
Nikolai is the head of sales department, he knows everything about parks. Nikolai worked for two years as an instructor in playland, worked in mounters crew, supervised adventure parks in Orenburg and Kirov. Nikolai is distinguished by being a hard worker, by his ability to negotiate with clients and to come up with marketing tricks. He is our indispensable sales director.
Manager asks a lot of questions: specifies budget, terms and target audience. Clarifies how much space you have and how do you plan to develop the park thereafter. Helps you to choose a park type, selects a standard design with necessary quantity of trails and tasks, and sends presentation with specification and approximate budget.
Presentation with standard design helps to imagine a future park and to adjust its type, preliminary trails configuration and types of tasks.
It's impossible to tell ahead the full budget of adventure park. it's necessary to measure the place and to develop a project first. Park price depends on trails configuration, on height and length of tasks, on complexity of assembling and on other factors. You can choose a timber type and colour of fire-retardant treatment, highlight the trails with ropes of different colors, order tasks of regularized round or glued laminated timber.
After gathering necessary information on future park and after submitting standard project with approval, manager negotiates about sending measurers.
Manager handles the project from the moment of receiving the request till the moment of opening the park. He answers questions, coordinates the project, helps you with documents. If your manager goes on vacation or sickens, his work will be given to another sales department employee.
Pictures and scheme of land property will help to measure size of a place and approximate park configuration. That is enough only for project of module park. For indoor adventure park, high rope course and for treewalk village it is necessary to see and measure the place. For that our measurers — project designer and technical director — visit costumer.
The measures are free, you pay only for travel, accommodation and food.
Measurers explore the place and its surroundings, mark strong and week trees, guesstimate location of trails and tasks. According to those data they calculate a detailed project, that is discussed and approved by customer.
Measurers design trails on the spot. They place huge tasks with severe ropes tension on high trees, and near paths they place entertaining tasks that attract visitors. The measurers also estimate height of trees, so that trails on different levels don't cross each other.
Along with trails configuration, the measurers think over park's logistics: location of entrance and exit, cash desks, start ans finish zones, jump ramp directions. It's more pleasant and comfortable for visitors to walk in such parks, and instructors manage to do more and get tired less.
Parks installation shall be approved by a land plot owner. If city communication lines run through the land plot: telephone wire, gas pipeline or water pipe, the project is to be discussed with municipal services.
Measurement results are transferred to project developers.
Project developers are experienced adventure park constructors. They have a good grip for trails construction principles and for particularities of tasks for different heights and target audiences.
Project developers select tasks for every pair of trees and arrange them in correct order. The tasks are arranged according to their load type, so that visitor's arms and legs get tired equally and power loads give place to dexterity and coordination exercises.
The park's project will be created in AutoCAD, the necessary number of materials, ropes and screws will be calculated according to prepared scheme. As a result you'll receive a 2D draft and a table with full list of all details and consumable materials.
Drawn up and estimated project will be sent to sales department manager who is responsible for coordination and approval of it. If you agree with everything, we sign the agreement and the project will be sent to manufacture and sending workshop.
If it is hard for you to imagine the finished project through table and draft, we can provide you with 3D model.
As far as the electronic form of document has legal force, we sign agreements through e-mail. Paper copies of the agreement will be signed on park handover. If you prefer to do it traditional way, we will send agreement and documentation with courier.
After receiving prepayment we order materials and prepare tasks. If you want to open park by beginning of summer, you have to contact up in spring: order of materials and their manufacturing take one-two months.
Manufacture, preparing and completing of future park is performed by weldors in workshop. Weldors — are men from 20 to 50 years. There are novices who only learn woodwork and experienced craftsmen.
Anatoly is the head of workshop. He is responsible for quality of details processing, for set being complete and for quality on sending. Analoty worked as an instructor and as a mounter.
We order planed pines from cutting base. In a workshop timber is being tested for defects, cut, machined, drilled and face-grinded. The park construction doesn't have any sharp edges, so it is impossible to get cut, and it won't hook your clothes or equipment.
Assembly stages and standards are prescribed by internal instructions. Wooden details are treated with а preservative, so rain and moisture won't affect them. Metal safeguard details are customized and covered with powder paint. Ends of ropes are fixed so that they don't fray.
Ready details are being re-counted, packed and prepared for sending.
After preparing and sending of materials, team of constructors move out to the assembly place.
Out mounters are professional alpinists, constructors and sportsmen-climbers from 19 to 30 years.
Three-trails park is assembled by 5 people, large and urgent projects take up to three teams. Park in Astana was built by 12 people in ten days.
Hire personnel before start of assembling process. When we finish the park, we will train the instructors how to work with equipment, how to perform emergency grounding of visitors and how to implement preventive actions and repair of trails.
Technical director visits the park before its commissioning. He checks the park, signs acceptance act with customer and gives rope trails complex passport and certificates for materials and equipment. Along with the passport, we prepare park inspection register, briefing performance register and equipment delivery-acceptance register.
After project commissioning we add it to our portfolio, and the team goes home.
If you want us to build park without delays — prepare the location. Dispose of rubbish, install electricity and organize special equipment passage. If the project is urgent, our workers will need access to the territory for night works. The team will solve other matters themselves.
For the first year we provide you with free change of wooden details, of riggings and of ropes. We will also perform preventative examination at the end of first or at the beginning of next season.
After that you will be able to maintain the park without our help. We teach instructors how to repair the park, and the passport says what and when to inspect.
Our parks are intended for 10 years service. Ropes and riggings are zinked, timber is treated with preservative. All components and equipment are certified.
Selection of the park type depends on location. In a soft-wood forest the park is fixed on trees, in a gym hall it's built out of blocks. If the trees are soft and low, the park is secured on artificial props.
