![]() Nassau County Museum of Art(Roslyn) - I've honestly only been inside the museum once, but the grounds are stunning and free to roam. It is beautiful, clean, and has wonderful views of the surrounding area - sometimes you can see all the way to the city! Levy Park and Preserve(Merrick) - This park makes me feel like I am hiking in Los Angeles again. I’ve lived nearby for years now and didn't know it was there until fairly recently. From an NYC (and San Francisco before that) expat, here are a few of my favorite places that I've discovered here in Nassau County: OUTDOORSY SPOTS:Ĭentennial Gardens(Floral Park) - A beautiful little Floral Park community garden built in an old storm drain. I've met loads of people volunteering for the PTA and Girl Scouts. I started a local group a couple of years ago and cultivated really good friendships with a few of the members. Then meet up with people in person! And if you can't find a group you jive with, then make one. My favorite is Progressive Parents of Long Island - but there are tons of others - local gardening groups, homesteading groups, and others - you just have to search to find them, based on your interests. I love that we know so many people within blocks of us now because of our ties to the local school. My kids are now older and at the local public school, and we've found our people there, too. I made some dear friends at GCNS that I have to this day. My kids both went to Garden City Nursery School, which is a co-op, meaning that the parents are very involved at the school - both working there and at social events. What worked for me may not work for you, but these suggestions may give you some ideas. Here are a few places where I began to find my community. It feels a lot further than 18 miles from Times Square sometimes - but there are some really wonderful people here, you just have to take the time to find and connect with them. ![]() ![]() Let's just say it’s a lot more conservative out here than in the city, which was also a bit of a shock to my system. It can feel very QUIET and solitary in the suburbs - so you've got to find your people. Everyone lives and works on top of each other in New York City, and there are people out walking around at all hours of the night. One of the biggest losses I felt after moving to Nassau County was feeling like I didn't have a community anymore. From quiet little parks and gardens to family-run restaurants and shops, Nassau County has some pretty neat spots - you just have to take the time to find them! And the best part is that the city is still only a short train ride away. If you're new to Nassau County and feeling a bit lost, don't worry - I've been there! Moving from the city to the 'burbs can be a bit of a shock to the system, but trust me, there are some cool hidden gems in this area that are worth checking out.Īlthough I miss the energy of the city, over time I have come to appreciate the slower pace of life here, and the unique charms Long Island has to offer. ![]()

![]() ![]() They're all fine, but go with the classic screw-gate, which is much cheaper. There are various locking mechanisms for locking carabiners, including twist-lock and magnet-operated ones. I didn't notice any difference in building quality between the two. Photon Locking Carabiner for $13, and the non-HMS DMM Phantom Locking Carabiner for $16 are both excellent choices if you need snag-free lockers with buttery smooth screw gates and relatively low-ish weight. Our old recommendation for a locking carabiner, the C.A.M.P. At 36 grams, it's unnoticeably heavier than the Dyon and a few dollars more expensive. The wire gate is more conventional than the Dyon, but like the Dyon it's completely snag-free, as DMM has effectively eliminated the notch on the nose. The DMM Alpha Wire Wire-Gate Carabiner for $17 also impressed me alongside the DMM Dyon. We've also adjusted pricing and availability. Updated September 2023: We've added Black Diamond gloves, as well as new picks for carabiners. You can get by with any flexible clothes (no jeans!), but I suggest you veer toward technical synthetic layers for climbing outside. You're also not going to be a climbing lead until you're more experienced, so I've omitted items like rope and quickdraws, which your climb leader will have. I'm keeping it simple and affordable in this guide, since it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the jargon for technical gear. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, you're going to need some essential gear. But it's fine to start outdoors if you fall in with the right climbers or enroll in an American Mountain Guides Association–accredited course. ![]() Most climbers get acquainted with the safety routines, jargon, and gear when climbing indoors. Put your trust in the gear we've assembled here in our guide for climbing gear for beginners, which will provide everything you absolutely need and nothing that's just marketing fluff. The lingo sounds like an entirely different language-basically Cockney rhyming slang-and then you're also hyper-aware that your life literally depends on getting it all right. Factor in the promise of falls from great heights, and it's no wonder that most people gave more knots in their stomachs than in their ropes when they first start climbing.

Yes, in addition to our digital invitations and RSVP tracking, Greenvelope offers both save the dates and thank you notes. ![]() Can I also send my invitations via text message? In addition to email, you can send your Greenvelope invitations and cards via SMS text message, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, or a sharable link. You can collect RSVPs, track plus ones, gather meal selections, send RSVP reminders, set up seating charts, and more. Do you offer RSVP tracking? Yes! Greenvelope’s robust RSVP tracking makes planning effortless. You will need to purchase a separate "single mailing" package for each version. What if I need multiple versions of my card? The best way to set this up would be to have two different mailings. Can I send in multiple batches? Greenvelope allows you to resend invitations or send invitations to new contacts at any time. You can then easily purchase additional people from within your mailing on an as needed basis. What if I am unsure how many people I need? In this case, we recommend purchasing a smaller package initially. For example, “The Smith Family” of John, Jill, Tim, and Lauren would count as (4) people. How does Greenvelope calculate people? Each person (with or without email) added to the mailing list counts as (1) person. ![]() ![]() look around the Holy Sol Obelisk, spotting and instantly gazed by the sight of Lieutenant Rekka who excitedly tells them to stop peeking and to come over and join Company 1. ![]() Back at school everybody talks about how amazing it is and what she could do now that she's a Third Gen, becoming a Fire Soldier or a Sister. Whilst running, Tamaki thinks back on how her parents and friends encouraged her to become a Sister and how she awakened as a Third Generation. Initially she only manages to keep her distance for five seconds. The twins decide to shorten the time to 30 seconds to alleviate the exercise. Running and dodging across the landscape like foxes chasing a cat, houses are damaged in the process of the training regime. Tamaki doesn’t take them seriously at first but after realising how fast and aggressive the twins are Tamaki realises what she’s really in for. Tamaki struggles with her training to keep her distance from the Hina-Hika twins for 60 seconds. In the girls’ training, Hina and Hika alarmingly tell Tamaki to run away from them for one whole minute. Benimaru explains this is necessary for them to learn Superfire and he went through the same thing, although he latter confesses he has no idea if any of these exercises were relevant or just hazing rituals. Suddenly, Shinra and Arthur find themselves confused and subjected to many different rituals including being tied upside-down to a stake or being dragged through the street. But this time, she has brought along Captain of Company 6, Kayoko Huang, to do palpitation tests on Konro.īack with Benimaru’s training, he easily puts both boys down with no effort, telling them they need to go beyond their limits like Captain Obi manages. Eager to learn Superfire as quickly as possible, Shinra demands Benimaru to teach him. She says she wants to hear the story with the Demon two years ago again. Konro's cleaning his interrupted by Hibana literally poking her nose through the curtained entrance. Benimaru then introduced the twins, Hinata and Hikage, as they start teasing her, much to Tamaki’s dismay. She exclaims how she wants to improve after falling short in previous times. ![]() Once they arrive, Benimaru notices that Tamaki has joined them. Hinata and Hikage join the training session.Īs Shinra and Arthur arrive in Asakusa the next day, Konro greets Shinra and Arthur at the Guardhouse, telling them Benimaru’s whereabouts so they can start training. ![]() Telling the captain that his strongest attacks don't work on some of the White-Clad, Benimaru informs Shinra of Superfire, and has him bring members of his brigade in. Arriving at the Guardhouse, Benimaru learns from the group that Konro is being targeted, and attempts to attack Shinra, leading to him dodging the attack. Revealing his presence, Shinra and Hibana talk to Konro about the Adolla Link and Adolla, leading to the Lieutenant telling them of when he killed the Demon Infernal and saw Adolla two years ago. Engaging in battle, the pair discover the confrontation, and watch Konro defeat the cultist with his blade. There, they learn Konro is at a small shack beside Sumida River, during which Jonoha's servant approaches Konro now that he's finally alone. At Special Fire Cathedral 8, the company 8 members laugh with Maki about her new rank, while the others discuss the Adolla Link and Konro being associated with it, prompting Shinra and Hibana to travel to Asakusa. ![]() Jonah instructs a White-Clad to find those who have experienced an Adolla Link. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you know some recipients will have the variable “First Name” while others will not, you can set a fallback value to use when personalization variables are blank. ![]() You can also save your emails as drafts before sending them for a double check!

When you choose wax melts for your pet, looking at the ingredients is vital. If you are worried about burning candles in your home due to the wax we suggest avoiding paraffin candles and. Because soy candles burn more slowly, the scent of the soy candle gradually falls out of the air. To conclude, candle wax is only toxic to human health if ingested, in terms of burning the wax, there are no current reports of any negative health effects from burning candles unless you have an old lead wick candle. Soy candles have the ability to burn 40 to 50 longer than non-soy candles. "When talking about cancer risk, it's important to focus on things we have hard evidence for. Soy wax produces less soot than paraffin wax and is non-toxic. One of the most impressive things about Diptyque non-toxic beeswax candles is that the company has never used a synthetic aroma in any of its products. "In terms of cancer, a far more significant type of indoor air pollution is second-hand cigarette smoke. The scientists suggested switching to candles made from beeswax or soy, which did not release significant levels of the chemicals.īut Dr Joanna Owens, from Cancer Research UK, said: "There is no direct evidence that everyday use of candles can affect our risk of developing cancer. ![]() Paraffin-based candles produced "clear sharp peaks" for many chemicals, mainly because burning candles does not produce high enough temperatures to combust hazardous molecules such as toluene and benzene. To investigate candle emissions, the researchers burned a range of candles in the laboratory and collected the mixture of substances they gave off. Wicks Can On Occasion Contain Lead & Badly Damage Air Quality in the Home For Children. Type of Wax Best For Candles: Paraffin Wax, Soy Wax, Coconut Wax, Beeswax or Palm Oil Wax. "But lighting many paraffin candles every day for years or lighting them frequently in an un-ventilated bathroom around a tub, for example, may cause problems."

You can also consult our Wax Guide for additional information on all of our candle waxes.Researcher Amid Hamidi said people who frequently used candles, for instance to help them relax in the bath or provide the right ambience for dinner, were most at risk. To help you decide on a wax we've listed our favorites for you. Although paraffin candles don't frost, the wax can shrink as it cools and require a second pour or top fill. Soy wax can produce frosting which is tiny crystal growth that forms on the top and sides of soy candles.

![]() ![]() ![]() The flight computers on the A320 allow pilots to control the aircraft exactly how they want by eliminating unwanted movements. The Airbus A320 is known to be a pleasant aircraft to fly, thanks to its fly-by-wire system and computerization. As of May 2022, Airbus has received 16,206 orders for the A320 and has delivered 10,359 of them. In October of the same year, 37 years since its release, the A320 overtook its competitor, the Boeing 737, in sales to become the world’s highest-selling jetliner. I n 2019, Airbus became the largest airliner manufacturer in the world, thanks in no small part to the A320’s immense success. This was purely a testament to the forethought that Airbus had put into the A320, making it vastly superior to the competition in design and specifications. Path to SuccessĮven before its first flight, Airbus had received over 200 orders, more than half of which were surprisingly from carriers in the United States, a continent firmly controlled by Boeing & McDonnell Douglas. The program achieved its goals for the A320 and would set the basis for its continued success. The older aircraft had the designation CEO (Current Engine Option) added to differentiate the new from the old. The engines use for the A320neos are CFM International’s LEAP-A1 and Pratt & Whitney’s PW1000G. The program’s focus was to improve the fuel efficiency of the Airbus A320 family by 15% and gain extra performance where possible.Īirbus planned to achieve these fuel savings using smarter aerodynamics and new engines. In December 2010, Airbus, once ahead, caught Boeing asleep at the wheel when it launched the A320neo (New Engine Option) program. The system dramatically reduces pilot workload and allows them to focus on flying. It provides current information and corrective action that can be taken to prevent cascading failures. The system went one step ahead of its competitors at the time. The cockpit of the A320 is devoid of analog gauges and is outfitted with a glass cockpit running their proprietary Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) system. Technology also allowed the manufacturer to do away with the traditional yoke controls that were required for hydraulically actuated controls and replace them with the now characteristic side-stick controls. ![]() It aims to reduce pilot error, which is the cause of 70% of accidents. The inputs from the pilot on the controls are transmitted to the flight computer, which will filter out unwanted movements and allow razor-sharp control of the aircraft. The A320 is the first aircraft to introduce digital fly-by-wire controls in commercial jetliners. Which were more than the 5,000 km (2,700 nm) airlines expected. The combination of newer fuel-efficient engines, reduced weight, and smart materials gave the A320 a maximum range of 5,700 km (3,078 nm). But it is 4% more fuel-efficient than the latter. ![]() The IAE engine produces 2% less thrust than its CFM counterpart, 110 kN to 111.2 kN. However, a version equipped with the IAE’s V2500-A1 was soon made available. Initially, the A320 was only powered by CFM International’s CFM56-5-A1. The A320 is the first Airbus to offer customers a choice of powerplant. The overall effect was a lighter, more fuel-efficient aircraft that had an MTOW of 78,000 kg (172,000 lbs) and a maximum payload of 18,0205 kg (40,136 lbs), which was higher than the competition. It is the first aircraft to use composite materials on flight surfaces. 15% of the A320 is made of composite materials. The Airbus A320 is typically configurated to carry between 140 – 170 passengers, but in a single-class configuration could hold a maximum of 186.Īirbus pioneered the use of composite materials in their aircraft and expanded its use with the A320. In March 1984, Airbus announced the A320, a single-aisle twinjet designed for short and medium-haul flights. In order to effectively compete with the well-established Boeing 737, Airbus decided to future-proof the A320, reduce manufacturing costs, and undercut Boeing. The aircraft would be powered by CFM International’s 56 series turbofan engines to accomplish this. The JET program aimed to create a single-aisle twinjet capable of ferrying roughly 150 passengers for around 5,000 km (2,699 nm). The JET program was initially independent of Airbus however, it would later be handed over to the company. In the late 1970’s stakeholders in the EU aviation industry saw the need to end the dominance of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas in the single-aisle jetliner market, which led to the start of the JET (Joint European Transport) program. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you do not have a case or reference number, the service will allow you to submit documents for specific programs.If you are submitting additional documents to support a previous submission, use the case or reference number that was provided to you for that submission.If you have a case or reference number and have been asked to submit documents by a CRA official either by mail, by phone, or in person use that number to submit the relevant documents.Submitting documents online with or without a case or reference number A limit of ten files per submission also applies.The total size of all files you send cannot exceed 1 GB (approximately 1,000 MB).As a matter is fact, top companies in Canada have a CRA account.
