title: How can you fix a steering wheel that wont lock and a car that wont start

text:
To fix a steering wheel that won’t lock and a car that won’t start, first, check the steering wheel position and try turning it slightly to release the lock. If that doesn’t work, inspect the ignition switch, battery connections, and the starter.
Make sure there is no damage or malfunction, and try jump-starting the car if needed. Dealing with a steering wheel that won’t lock and a car that won’t start can be frustrating and worrying. A malfunctioning steering wheel lock and inability to start the car are issues that can arise due to various reasons, such as a faulty ignition switch, low battery, or a problematic starter.
We’ll explore common reasons for these issues and provide practical solutions to help you troubleshoot and fix the problem efficiently.

Steps To Fix Steering Wheel That Won’t Lock
Is your steering wheel refusing to lock, making it impossible to start your car? Don’t worry! Follow these simple steps to fix the issue and get your car back on the road:
Check Gear Shift Position
To begin, ensure that your gear shift is in the correct position. Often, a steering wheel won’t lock if the gear shift is not fully engaged in either park or neutral.
Inspect Steering Column Components
Next, inspect the various components of your steering column to identify any potential issues. Check for any loose or damaged parts that could be preventing the steering wheel from locking. It’s crucial to have a clear visual inspection of the column to eliminate any physical obstructions.
Replace Ignition Lock Assembly
If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s possible that the ignition lock assembly is faulty or worn out. In this case, it’s necessary to replace the assembly to fix the problem. This may require seeking professional assistance or consulting your car’s user manual for the specific steps to replace the ignition lock assembly.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix a steering wheel that won’t lock and ensure your car starts smoothly. Remember to approach any repairs or replacements with caution and, when in doubt, seek help from a qualified professional.
Ways To Solve A Car That Won’t Start
When your car refuses to start, it can be a frustrating and worrisome situation. However, there are several potential causes for a car that won’t start, and knowing how to diagnose and fix the issue can save you time and money. Here are some effective ways to address the problem:
Check The Battery
Ensure the battery connections are clean and tight. Look for visible signs of corrosion and clean if necessary. Test the battery voltage to determine if it’s within the normal range (around 12.6 volts when fully charged).
Inspect The Ignition Switch
Verify that the ignition switch is functioning correctly. Check if the dashboard lights turn on when the key is turned, and make sure the gear shift is in ‘park’ or ‘neutral’, then try starting the car. If there are no dashboard lights, it may indicate an issue with the ignition switch.
Examine The Starter Motor
Listen for a clicking sound when turning the key in the ignition. A clicking sound often indicates a faulty starter motor. Inspect the wiring and connections to the starter motor for any signs of damage or wear. Consider engaging a professional if the issue persists.
Consider Fuel System Issues
If the car doesn’t start or cranks weakly, check the fuel level and ensure it’s not empty. Listen for the fuel pump running when the key is turned. If there’s no sound, it could imply a problem with the fuel pump or the fuel system. Consider checking the fuel filter for blockages as well.
Additional Troubleshooting Tips
When facing issues with a steering wheel that won’t lock and a car that won’t start, troubleshooting becomes crucial. Here are additional troubleshooting tips to diagnose the root cause and find a solution.
Testing The Vehicle’s Fuses
If the steering wheel won’t lock and the car won’t start, it is essential to inspect the vehicle’s fuses. Begin by locating the fuse box in your car, often found under the dashboard or under the hood. You will then need to conduct a visual inspection of the fuses to identify any signs of damage, such as a broken filament or discoloration. If any fuses appear faulty, replace them with new ones of the same amperage rating. This process can resolve electrical issues affecting the steering wheel and ignition.
Examining The Transmission Park/neutral Safety Switch
The Transmission Park/Neutral Safety Switch is an important component to check if your steering wheel won’t lock and the car won’t start. This switch ensures that the vehicle can only be started in Park or Neutral. Begin by locating the switch, usually situated underneath the center console or on the side of the transmission. Check for any loose connections or wiring issues, which can cause the switch to malfunction and prevent the car from starting. If any issues are detected, consult a professional mechanic to perform repairs or replacements.
In a nutshell, fixing a steering wheel that won’t lock and getting a car to start requires a careful diagnosis and troubleshooting process. By ensuring the battery is charged, checking the ignition switch, examining the steering column, and addressing any underlying mechanical issues, you can overcome these frustrating problems.
Regular maintenance and seeking professional help when needed will keep your car running smoothly and ensure your safety on the road.

Artisha Wright recently graduated from Mercer University’s College of Education with a Master of Arts in Teaching in elementary education.
What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation, I plan to work as a teacher in a Bibb County public school, where I’ll focus on supporting families of children with special needs, particularly those with autism and learning differences. I’ll also be volunteering in my community and local church to help serve and uplift those in need. My mission is to make a lasting impact both inside and outside the classroom.
Who was your favorite professor and why?
It’s hard to name just one favorite professor because each one I had truly rocked! They were consistently supportive before, during and after class. Whether it was answering questions, offering clarification, or pushing us beyond what we thought we could do, they always showed up. They were firm when needed but always grounded us in reminders of who we are and the potential we carry. I deeply appreciate their honesty, wisdom and unwavering belief in us. That kind of support made all the difference.
How do you plan on changing the world?
I plan to change the world by leading with kindness, breaking generational curses, and empowering children and families to thrive. Change starts with love, and I’m here to be that light.
What advice do you have for incoming students?
Listen, you’ll face obstacles, but don’t let them stop you. Use every setback as a setup for growth and celebrate the small wins along the way. The journey matters just as much as the destination.
What makes Mercer special to you?
This place gave me more than an education. It gave me purpose, confidence, and the foundation to live out my mission of supporting children with special needs and their families. Mercer helped me find my voice, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.

You know what I love most about farmhouse signs? The typography, the worn wood and how a farmhouse sign can say anything with words and hang on the wall making a bold or subtle statement about your home.
This post contains affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you click and purchase from the links in the post however, it does not affect the price you pay. You can read my full disclosure here.
Farmhouse signs are filled with character and charm as well as a hefty price tag if you are shopping for a true vintage sign that once hung on the side of a building.
There are also farmhouse signs that are funny and filled with truthful quotes. I happen to have this “nice, normal family” black and white sign proudly hanging in my living room for all to see.
FYI, I made the “party of 6” sign myself and it was super easy and inexpensive because I am all about being “thrifty” and saving a buck or two.
I understand, not everyone has the time, talent or desire to DIY farmhouse signs for their home so I did a little research of my resources and came up with a round up of some cute wooden signs with some great typography. There really is a huge selection of farmhouse decor all over the internet and all you have to do is let your fingers do the searching….or clicking.
Click on any of the images below for purchase information on these adorable farmhouse signs.
If you are looking for more farmhouse ideas you will be happy to know that Chip and Joanna’s Hearth and Hand with Magnolia is now available at Target. Farmhouse signs along with home decor, kitchen & dining, holiday decor and much more are available right now and it is AMAZING!

title: Sahure i

text:
Sahure was the second ruler of ancient Egypt’s 5th Dynasty. His birth name means “He who is Close to Re”. His Horus name was Nebkhau, and we believed he ruled Egypt from around 2487 to 2475 BC. The Turin King List gives him a reign of twelve years.
His pyramid complex was the first built at Abusir (though Userkaf had probably already built his solar temple there) and marks the decline of pyramid building, both in the size and quality, though many of the reliefs are very well done. It provides us most of the information we know of this king. We believer that he was the first of two sons of queen Khentkaues I to hold the throne, and that his father was probably Userkaf. It is probable that Khentkaues I was the character of Redjedet in the Papyrus Westcar, who according to the magician Djedi, was destined to give birth to the children of Ra and the first kings of the 5th Dynasty. But if Khentkaues I was his mother, a scene in her tomb at Giza showing her with the royal uraeus and beard might indicate that she may have acted as a regent for Sahure.
Most foreign relations during the reign of Sahure were economic, rather than combative. In one scene, we find great ships with Egyptians and Asiatics on board. They are returning, we believe, from the port of Byblos in Lebanon with huge cedar trees. For this, we have collaborating evidence in the form of his name on a piece of thin, gold stamped to a chair, as well as other evidence of 5th Dynasty king’s cartouches found in Lebanon on stone vessels. Other scenes in his temple depict what we are told are Syrian bears. We also have the first documented expedition to the land of Punt, which apparently yielded a quantity of myrrh, along with malachite and electrum, and because of this, Sahure is often credited with establishing an Egyptian navy. There is also scenes of a raid into Libya which yielded various livestock and showed the king smiting the local chieftains. The Palermo Stone also collaborates some of these events.
However, this same scene of the Libya attack was used two thousand years later in the mortuary temple of Pepy II and in a Kawa temple of Taharqa. The same names are quoted for the local chieftain. Therefore, we become somewhat suspicious of the possibility that Sahure was also copying an even earlier representation of this scene.
He apparently built a sun temple, as did most of the 5th Dynasty kings. Its name was Sekhet-re, meaning “the Field of Re”, but so far its location is unknown. We know of his palace, called Uetjesneferusahure “Sahure’s splendor sours up to heaven”, from an inscription on ordinary tallow containers recently found in Neferefre’s mortuary temple. It may have been located at Abusir as well. We also know that under Sahure, the turquoise quarries in the Sinai were worked (Probably at Wadi Maghara and Wadi Kharit, along with the diorite quarries in Nubia.

On Tuesday, the J6 community received some good news from Attorney Carolyn Stewart. Elias Costianes is to be released. As earlier reported by The Gateway Pundit, Elias was forced to turn himself in to the Bureau of Prisons on February 12th, 2025, just weeks after receiving a full Presidential Pardon. He was being incarcerated for charges he obtained from the raid on his home for his attendance on January 6th.
J6 defendant turning myself in to the US Marshals. I have been pardoned but my judge doesn’t care and wants me in prison. Please share, God Bless!! pic.twitter.com/qJ6SY9JLMy
— Elias Costianes (@MrCostianes) February 12, 2025
After his appeal for an extension was denied, Costianes reluctantly self-surrendered to the Northeast Ohio Corrections Center (NEOCC) on February 12th. Attorneys Carolyn Stewart and Roger Roots filed an Emergency Motion and waited for the DOJ’s response, which came a week later, on the 19th.
In the government’s reply to the motion, Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) David Bornstein said,
“After consulting with the Department of Justice’s leadership, the United States has concluded that the President pardoned Mr. Costianes of the offenses in the indictment,” Bornstein wrote. “This determination by the Executive is ‘conclusive and preclusive.’”
The next day, February 20th, Stewart and Roots filed their answer to the government’s reply.
The filing by Stewart concurred with the government and supported their conclusion, ”The government agreed that Mr. Costianes’ case falls under the Presidential Pardon, and that he should immediately be released from incarceration.” It continues, “He [Costianes] respectfully requests that this Court order that the U.S. Marshals and BOP immediately release Mr. Costianes from the Northeast Ohio Corrections Center (NEOCC) where he is presently incarcerated, vacate the judgment of the district court, moot the current appeal in this Court, and remand the case to the district court with instructions for dismissal.”
Over a month had passed since the reply was sent to the court, and Maryland Fourth District Federal Judge James K. Bredar continued to hold Elias Costianes hostage. In fact, the government filed a second motion for Elias’ release.
The Obama appointee seemed to be completely MIA, on vacation, lost, or just disappeared even after a joint motion was filed on March 13th. He would not answer or release Costianes, and the AUSA says that the Marshals, who work for the Department of Justice, will not release Costianes without a court order. Which also brought up some questions about why Pam Bondi would not step in.
This all leads us to Tuesday, three months later and four months almost to the day, when Elias self-surrendered to prison. Elias Costianes is a free man.
Elias was able to put out a short video on X after his release.
Praise God I’m free!!! Thank you @end_lawfare for all of your relentless hard work you are truly AMAZING!! Special thank YOU to all of the reporters and truth tellers who shared my story. 119 days of absolute hell and torture is over. @laralogan @OwenShroyer1776 @annvandersteel pic.twitter.com/nvxp6S1Ssv
— Elias Costianes (@MrCostianes) June 10, 2025
On Tuesday, Carolyn Stewart relayed a message from Elias. “Elias is grateful to all who prayed and supported him during this tough time.”
Please keep Elias in your prayers and thoughts as he starts to rebuild his life after the aftermath of J6.

title: Visiting the human library

text:
I’m a big fan of libraries. I’m also quite fond of humans. So when I heard that there was a ‘Human Library’ event being held in Wroclaw, I felt obliged to go and see what it was all about.
What is the Human Library?
The Human Library is an initiative to help people challenge their prejudices via events held in numerous countries worldwide. It does this by providing the opportunity to talk to people you might not normally meet. By which I mean marginalised members of society, rather than Miles Davis or Genghis Khan.
One of the tag lines on the Human Library website is ‘What’s your prejudice?’, highlighting the fact that we all carry prejudices, even if we don’t realise it. Well most of us. Not me, obviously.
The recent Wroclaw event, for example, had a transsexual person, a former prisoner, a lesbian, a recovering alcoholic and so on, like the cast of a politically incorrect joke (and quite an ambitious one at that).
It was getting late when I arrived at the venue – too late, in fact, for me to have a choice of who to talk to – so instead I was assigned a blind and hard-of-hearing local man. Plus an interpreter to make things less socially awkward given that neither of us spoke the other’s language.
We sat on some comfy seats and I fumbled about in my brain for some questions – the act of speaking through an interpreter meant I couldn’t just ease my way into the conversation with some meaningless ‘hey, how’s it going?’-type banter.
I asked him what advice he had for other people when they encountered someone in his situation. What things do people do that they shouldn’t do and vice versa?
His response was simple: “Don’t help.”
He expanded on this by saying that if you help people too much they’ll become a bit lazy and dependent and expect everything to be done for them.
I wanted to argue back, to point out that the problem with other people doing things for you is actually the loss of independence. Then I remembered that he was the one who was blind, and decided I’d probably be better focussing on listening instead.
My ideal Human Library event would just consist of just me telling a queue of visitors what it’s like to be a whole host of different people. I may even take requests.
“What’s it like being a Bolivian miner?”
“Oh, quite tough – I have to work long hours in difficult conditions just to feed my family. I imagine.”
The library metaphor is referenced quite heavily during the event – people are ‘books’ and popularly-accessed people, I mean books, I mean people, are called ‘bestsellers’.
The upside of this metaphor, from what I can see, is that objectifying a person makes them a tangible resource and legitimises the asking (and answering) of otherwise awkward and intrusive questions. It also helps make the idea memorable, and maybe a bit playful and fun.
The downside, you could argue, is that it dehumanises a person by objectifying them. Also, the metaphor in general just seemed rather forced: when I arrived I was asked which ‘book’ I’d like to ‘read’, when just being asked which ‘person’ I’d like to ‘talk to’ would have seemed a lot more natural.
In fact why not slap a Dewey Decimal System label on the side and get them to stand on a shelf? I’ll do my normal library-book thing: take three home, leave them there for a month (eyeing them guiltily on occasion) and then return them unread and, if pushed for an opinion, claim they were ‘pretty good’.
That said, if the book metaphor helps to bring people here (and it probably did that for me) and encourages the asking of questions that might otherwise be avoided, then maybe it’s a good idea.
Does it work?
I really like the idea of the Human Library. I relish the chance to see the world from the perspective of others; to broaden my horizons; to thumb my lapels and casually mention that I was in a ‘human library’ the other day.
I would hope the ‘books’ themselves get something out of it, too, even if it’s just a sense of having been acknowledged and listened to.
It’s a nice idea, and it comes from a good place.
An obvious criticism would be that such a concept would mostly appeal to people who are already broad-minded. Certainly the other visitors there at the same time as me didn’t seem like vessels of simmering resentment against minority groups.
I mean, yes, we’re all prejudiced but if someone has a genuine and profound problem with minority groups, would they really go out of their way to meet someone from one for the purposes of self-education?
But perhaps I’m making unfair judgements about prejudiced people. In fact, maybe ‘Prejudiced Person’ should be a book in the next Human Library. Though I’d frankly I think I’d be wary of asking them anything.
“What do you think of foreigners?”
“How long have you got?”
It’s also worth remembering that the organisers, event staff and ‘books’ were all unpaid volunteers who gave their time to try and make the world a better place, which is surely something to be applauded.
What do you think of the idea of a Human Library? What ‘book’ would you most like to ‘read’? And if you were a ‘book’, would you cut straight to the action, or be kind of waffly with no clear narrative?

Eye Pressure Treatment
Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes optic nerve damage and is often associated with an increase in intraocular pressure. The optic nerve is an important bundle of nerve fibers that transmits vision information from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma is generally associated with increased intraocular pressure as a result of an obstruction in the drainage of fluid within the eye. High intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to visual field loss and eventually blindness.

Open-Angle Glaucoma: Open-angle glaucoma is characterized by slower-than-normal drainage of fluid within the eye. This condition usually progresses slowly without obvious symptoms and is usually noticed at an advanced stage. Open angle glaucoma is often associated with old age.
Closed-Angle Glaucoma: Closed-angle glaucoma can occur as an acute crisis as a result of a sudden blockage or obstruction of the fluid within the eye. This condition can cause obvious symptoms such as sudden eye pain, blurred vision, headache, vomiting, and even vision loss. Closed-angle glaucoma requires immediate medical attention because if left untreated it can cause permanent vision loss.
Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma is important. It is usually treated using methods such as medications, eye drops, laser surgery or eye surgery to reduce intraocular pressure. Periodic eye exams are critical for early diagnosis of eye diseases such as glaucoma.
Glaucoma Treatment Methods
Glaucoma treatment usually focuses on lowering intraocular pressure and preventing optic nerve damage. Treatment options may include:
Treating Glaucoma with Eye Drops: Your ophthalmologist may prescribe eye drops to lower intraocular pressure. These drops can reduce fluid production inside the eye or promote better drainage of fluid. Eye drops should generally be used at regular intervals.
Glaucoma Treatment with Oral Medications: In some cases, eye drops alone may not be enough and your doctor may prescribe oral medications. These medications can help lower intraocular pressure.
Glaucoma Treatment with Laser Surgery: Laser surgery can be used to lower intraocular pressure. Trabeculoplasty reduces intraocular pressure by increasing the drainage opening within the eye, while iridotomy creates a hole in the eye to improve the flow of fluid within the eye.
Treating Glaucoma with Trabeculectomy or Stent Placement
If medications and laser surgery are ineffective or unsuitable, eye surgery may be an option. Trabeculectomy creates a new pathway into the eye’s drainage system to reduce intraocular pressure, while stent placement involves inserting a small device to increase the flow of fluid within the eye.
Glaucoma treatment is individualized and may be different for each patient. Your ophthalmologist will guide you to determine the most appropriate treatment plan to control intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage. Additionally, periodic eye exams are important to monitor the progression of glaucoma. Early diagnosis and effective treatment of glaucoma can help prevent vision loss.

April 18, 2023
By Anjali Kochhar
Bitmain, a prominent manufacturer of hardware for mining cryptocurrencies, has been fined for tax violations by Chinese authorities, according to reports in local media. The fine is part of an increased focus on tax enforcement in the digital asset sector.
Chinese crypto journalist Colin Wu, also known by his Twitter handle ‘Wu Blockchain’ tweeted about the same quoting the report.
Beijing Bitmain Technology is reportedly facing a substantial penalty of over $3.6 million for failing to withhold and pay personal income tax on benefits given to its employees.
In a subsequent tweet, Wu Blockchain pointed out that the Chinese government has stepped up tax inspections on the cryptocurrency industry since last year. According to the crypto blogger, bitcoin miners and large cryptocurrency traders have been specifically targeted.
The company was informed of its obligations in August 2022 but has not yet paid the outstanding amount. Since last year, the Chinese government has been conducting more tax inspections on the cryptocurrency industry, targeting bitcoin miners and large cryptocurrency traders.
Bitmain had previously announced its decision to stop delivering mining equipment to customers in China following the country’s crackdown on crypto-related activities in early 2021.

Welcome to another post in this series supporting educators to use the features built into iPad Operating System to support the personalised experience their students have on their iPad.
There are so many features built into your device, that I estimate that most people use around 10% of what is available to them. Plus, with the rate of change and the volume of incredibly useful tools, it's hard to keep up! In my work as an Apple Professional Learning Specialist, I've discovered that these selected tools have proven to be the most valuable in my interactions with the individuals I've collaborated with in the classroom.
This resource has been created to give you access to short videos that assist you to set up the iPad for success in the classroom. There are 30 top tips coming, little video snippets and some ideas about who might find each tool valuable.
The top tips are grouped into topics. In my mind, the first group are about the settings on the iPad. These are the more global type features. The second and third sets are the ones that assist students to get content into and out of iPad, and off the page or environment, and the fourth set is additional tools that facilitate organisation, and understanding. The last tool gives you customised suggestions of which features would be worth setting up based on the student’s personal needs.
At the end of the 30 posts there will be a combined resource and downloadable content for you with all the videos and resources in one location, so keep your eye out for that.
In this video, we look at the options for Typing Feedback. You can set up Typing Feedback on your device so that it reads text out to you as you are typing. This could be Words, Auto-text Predictions or even individual characters. This is such a great tool for students who need additional support with their text input.

title: Letter david lammy imprisonment ahmed al doush saudi arabia

text:
This letter was sent to UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Wednesday 14 May 2025, urging action on the case of British citizen Ahmed al-Doush and his imprisonment in Saudi Arabia over a seven-year-old tweet.
Re: Urgent Diplomatic Intervention – Unjust Imprisonment of Ahmed al-Doush in Saudi Arabia
Dear Foreign Secretary,
I am writing to you with deep concern regarding the case of Mr. Ahmed al-Doush, a British resident from Manchester, who has just been jailed for 10 years in Saudi Arabia, allegedly over a tweet he posted seven years ago.
Mr. al-Doush, a 41-year-old father of four and banking business analyst, has already spent nine months in al-Hair Prison in Riyadh prior to this sentencing. According to his family, Mr. al-Doush has done nothing to warrant such harsh punishment and appears to have been targeted simply for the peaceful expression of his views – a fundamental human right enshrined in both international and UK laws and a value the United Kingdom stands for. His wife has also said that he is in poor health.
This case once again raises serious concerns about the safety and rights of UK residents abroad, something we have highlighted in the cases of Jimmy Lai and Alaa Abd El-Fattah. We urge the FCDO to take immediate steps to support Mr. al-Doush.
We respectfully call on the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to:
- Publicly demand the immediate release of Ahmed al-Doush, highlighting the unjust nature of his detention and sentencing.
- Provide Mr. al-Doush with full consular support, including legal assistance and regular welfare and health checks.
The United Kingdom has a responsibility to stand up for the rights of those it represents. We urge you not to allow this grave injustice to go unchallenged.
We thank you in advance for your attention to this urgent matter and I look forward to your prompt action.


title: Digital groups rally app legislation

text:
Digital rights groups are launching an educational campaign to continue to push for antitrust reform, according to a press release.
The digital rights group Fight for the Future and China-based anti-censorship group Great Fire launched FreeTheiPhone.com—a website aimed to educate the public on Apple’s App Store monopoly and push for Congress to pass antitrust legislation.
“Apple is not fooling anyone,” said Benjamin Ismail, Project Director at AppleCensorship.com, which is run by Great Wall. “Over the past decade, it has thoroughly engaged in censorship and collaboration with repressive regimes such as Russia or China to protect its financial interests.”
The initiative is lobbying for the passage of the Open App Markets Act (OAMA), which aims to create more competition in app stores like Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store. The bill would allow users to download their own apps onto phones, apps that don’t have to come from app stores run by the tech giants. The bill would also ban app stores from favoring their own products and stop big tech from forcing developers to use their own payment systems.
Apple and Google long opposed the legislation, with Apple CEO Tim Cook saying the proposed rules would “undermine” privacy and security protections on Apple products in a speech this week.
“Taking away a more secure option will leave users with less choice, not more,” Cook said in a speech. The speech comes as Apple faces increased scrutiny from regulators in the United States and in Europe over its monopolistic tendencies and its App Store.
The OAMA bill, introduced in the Senate by Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), moved out of the Senate Judiciary Committee in February by a 20-2 vote and was placed on the Senate calendar, but a full vote has yet to be scheduled.
Big tech has lobbied against the bill, with one main exception: Microsoft. Microsoft came out in support of regulation against Apple in 2020, saying that the company’s App Store policies are worse than similar practices that saddled Microsoft with antitrust violations in the 2000s. The lobbying effort is testing the influence of Google and Apple, as outrage against big tech practices swell and support for regulation grows.

More performance, less limitations
Rock stars are famous for dismantling hotel rooms. Mechanical engineers on business education trips, not so much.
Yet that’s exactly what Katy Fefolt, testing engineer for Western Window Systems, encountered when she traveled to Toronto, Canada in late 2018 to earn her accreditation as a certified simulator through the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC).
“One of the groups of people that were there, they mentioned that the previous night they had started taking apart one of the balcony doors in their hotel room,” Fefolt says, with a laugh. “And they’re like, ‘Well, we were just interested to see how it was put together and what materials they used.’”
Blame it on advancements in aluminum door and window framing. Even for seasoned professionals in the field, a close physical inspection is sometimes the only sure way to tell the difference between glass framed in traditional steel and one framed in energy-smart, thermally broken aluminum, which is increasingly being used to match the distinctive look and character of steel but at a lower cost, better efficiency and with shorter lead and installation times.
“It comes down to noticing things like the door isn’t completely square, or it doesn’t slide with the weight you’re used to,” Fefolt says, noting two distinct advantages aluminum has over steel: better malleability, owing to the material being easier to cut and form; and lighter weight — almost two-thirds lighter than stainless steel. “Most people don’t notice the difference in appearance.”
That’s partly the point of Western Window Systems’ Simulated Steel Line, its relatively new series of energy-smart, thermally broken aluminum windows and doors with high-performance glass, designed to match the look and feel of steel but with several key advantages.
Steel in commercial buildings, particularly on the East Coast, is prone to corrosion, can be expensive to maintain, and is not as energy efficient as some other building materials.
“The real push for this product came from the east coast, where many of the older buildings were built with steel frames,” Fefolt says. “We kind of developed the Simulated Steel so that it would look very similar to the steel that existed in those types of buildings, but it would provide better thermal performance.”
While East Coast restorations drove the demand, the hot summer temperatures of Western Window Systems’ Arizona base tested that thermal performance. Aluminum has much higher thermal conductivity than steel — it conducts heat at almost 9 times the rate of steel — which makes it ideal for cookware and for heat sinks in computers but not so ideal for building facades in places like Phoenix. Thermal breaking solves that problem.
“All of our Simulated Steel products use a thermal break, which basically blocks the transmission of heat — or cold — from getting into the building,” Fefolt explains. “It basically isolates the interior from the exterior of the building and provides good retention of the heat or the air conditioning on the inside instead of losing all that through your window or door products.”
The Simulated Steel Line also attained a low air infiltration number, which allows for additional reduction of that thermal conductivity. “Finally, we test for structural capabilities, what we call design pressure, of the product. And all of our Simulated Steel products are rated at a design pressure of 50 pounds per square foot at a minimum.”
Fefolt sees several advantages to using Simulated Steel in both commercial and residential settings.
“The lighter weight is definitely a big advantage, especially when you get into maybe a bi-fold door or a hinged door where you have hardware weight limitations,” she says. “Also, you can basically do whatever color or style you’re looking for. One option is a split finish, where the inside and the outside of the door can be different colors, because we have that thermal break in the middle. So it’s really customizable to whatever the business owner or the homeowner wants.”

Bluetooth Direction Finding Tool Suite#
A Real Time Locating System (RTLS) consists of many locators that pick up the signals of asset tags to locate them in 3D space. To calculate the positions of the asset tags, you must know each locator’s position, orientation, and configuration (such as antenna array type, switching pattern, and so on). The Silicon Labs’ Real Time Locating (RTL) library also needs configuration parameters, such as estimation mode, azimuth, elevation constraints, and so on, to provide the best estimation for a given environment. The Bluetooth Direction Finding Tool Suite, accessed primarily through the Direction Finding Dashboard, is meant to ease development with the Silicon Labs’ RTL library. It provides multiple tools to configure the system, and also helps development with analyzer tools that calculate many output parameters from the observed IQ samples.
Note: The tools were created for demonstration purposes, and not to be used in production. For development purposes, start with the sample application described in AN1296: Application Development with Silicon Labs RTL Library.
The Bluetooth Direction Finding Dashboard aggregates the tools used to create and configure Direction Finding projects (*.dfp). These projects are created through Files > New > Project > Simplicity Studio > Direction Finding Project.
The tools available through the Dashboard include:
MultiLocator Builder: Used to create a multi-locator configuration setup using topologies and individual locator’s configurations, and link them to produce a multi-locator configuration file.
Editor: Used to review and edit a multi-locator configuration and its building blocks, namely the topology and single locator configurations. The Editor provides a framework that draws on other tools:
The AoA Positioning Tool demonstrates the location estimation of the Real Time Locating (RTL) library. Global RTL settings can also be configured in the tool, and those settings are saved into the multi-locator configuration file.
AoA Configurator provides an editable 3D representation of a topology and locator devices. Use the tool to add locators, drag them to the desired position, and rotate them to the best orientation.
AoA Analyzer (also available through the Tools menu) can create a single locator configuration file, and then apply the configuration for a single locator board and run the RTL library to estimate angles from the incoming data.
Import & Export: Used to migrate configuration files to and from the SDK’s AoA host projects.
For details about the tools and references to other direction-finding documentation, see UG514: Using the Bluetooth® Direction Finding Tool Suite

Cat and Dog Vaccinations in Colma, CA
When you bring your pet in for vaccinations at our animal hospital in Colma, you’ll be protecting them from many dangerous diseases. We take cat and dog vaccinations in Colma, CA, seriously at Colma Animal Hospital. They give your pet needed immunity from viruses and bacteria which can result in serious illness or chronic conditions. We’ll discuss your pet’s lifestyle with you and make sure they receive protection from any viruses or bacteria they may be exposed to.
Call us at (650) 756-1753 or click the button below to schedule an appointment today!
Why It’s Important to Vaccinate Your Dog and Cat
It’s important to have new pets vaccinated and we recommend you schedule a wellness visit with us to give your new bundle of joy a thorough examination as well. Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable to disease as they’re weaned from their mother’s milk. They receive powerful antibodies as they’re nursed, but receive less as they grow bigger and aren’t nursing as much. Therefore, all pets should be vaccinated in their first few months of life. Dog and cat vaccinations help their bodies create their own antibodies. Puppies and kittens receive follow-up boosters to further strengthen their immune systems. Adult pets need maintenance vaccinations either annually or every three years, depending on their lifestyle. Many diseases are airborne and can be passed to your pet, even if they’re not very active outside. At Colma Animal Hospital, we’ll carefully discuss vaccinations suited for your pet’s specific lifestyle and needs.
Vaccinations We Provide
We provide essential “core” dog and cat vaccinations at our animal hospital in addition to lifestyle specific ones. How active your pet is outside and travel tendencies will affect our decision to give your pet any additional vaccinations.
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis
We may decide to add vaccination from Leptospirosis to your dog’s vaccinations, if your dog is frequently around water or travels into moist climates. Leptospirosis, along with rabies, can be passed onto humans and other mammals. If your cat goes outside, or if you have a big heart and like to take care of stray cats, we may decide to add protection from chlamydia and feline leukemia. Please talk to us about essential pet vaccinations today by calling (650) 756-1753!

This research examines the Indian retail industry, with a focus on sports retailing. Despite the fact that India has the world's second biggest population, the relevance of sports was not recognised until the early 2000s. Sporting has recently been viewed as a profession, and many young people are actively seeking a career in sports. Many new leagues have emerged, giving the younger generation the opportunity to flourish and pursue a career in sports and sports-related industries and overlapping with Decathlon India's entry into the market and their strategy for providing value to clients.
India is a one-of-a-kind country. Unlike other countries, India has a unique circumstance in that over 300 languages are spoken (Blogs Reuters, 2013). 1 India is divided into 29 states and seven union territories (India News Bulletin, 2014). Each state has its own official language. In reality, the states were established with language in mind. Similarly, each state has its own culture. Celebrations, festivals, climate, and food varies per state. There are around 600,000 villages in India (Census India, 2001). Nonetheless, India is a single country. The country has a large population, with one Indian for every sixth person on the planet. This country is expanding at a rapid rate. The GDP growth rate for 2014–2015 was 7.5%, which many large corporations covet for having a presence in this large market. It is easier said than done to conduct business in the world's largest democracy. Marketers in India face various problems. This case study investigates the techniques used by a new entrant to thrive in this large and difficult market. Price is an important feature of every company organisation, especially those whose major purpose and objective is to maximise or make more and more profits. Sometimes the price is set to maximise profits through huge sales, other times it is used by the business firm to defend the present market against new entrants, and yet other times it is used to grow market share within the existing market. As a result, in this research, a detailed pricing strategy analysis is performed on Decathlon, which is one of the greatest brands and leaders in the sports area, with a competitive advantage even in the worldwide market.

COVID-19 Response teams discussed student ID cards, delivering laptops to non-LA Promise students and possibly opening up classrooms for faculty at a Zoom meeting on Sept. 23.
After Team B’s update, Vice President of Student Services Earic Dixon-Peters talked about the distribution of laptops to LA Promise students being a priority.
“Yes, we had a delivery of laptops this previous week on Thursday and Friday for L.A. Promise students,” Peters said.
Dean of Student Engagement Juan Carlos Astorga expressed his concerns with students receiving two pieces of equipment.
“It makes no sense for one student to get two different pieces of equipment because that’s one less for another one that could potentially receive it,” Astorga said.
In addition to the updates, there was student feedback regarding campus ID cards.
Vice President of Administrative Services Rolf Schleicher described how helpful student ID cards could be for students choosing not to turn on their cameras during class.
The testing software, Proctorio, sometimes uses student ID cards before beginning the monitored test provided, Distance Education Coordinator Wendy Bass added.
“We’ve got to help them help themselves. And sometimes they may not realize that this whole way of learning is going to be very challenging,” Schleicher said.
The last point brought up in the Team B and C meeting was getting software for science classes with labs or allowing professors to come in and record their own lab.
Dean of Academic Affairs Donna-Mae Villanueva suggested that remote science professors should use their classrooms to record new lectures because using their old lectures might be a FERPA violation.
She also explained that other colleges within LACCD are allowing faculty to record on campus.

The Mexican city of Oaxaca is a destination known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and vibrant arts scene. Many renowned painters and artists come from this region, so it’s not surprising that Oaxaca is famous not only for the taste of its mezcal but for the beauty of its folk art, especially its murals.
One of the most captivating aspects of Oaxacan culture is its vibrant tradition of mural painting, which has played a significant role in shaping the identity of the region. I call Oaxaca City the City of a Thousand Murals for the incredible number of murals we can find walking its streets. So let’s delve into the importance of murals in Mexican culture, particularly in Oaxaca, and provide tips for organizing your own mural tour of Oaxaca City.
The Importance of Murals in Mexican Culture
Murals hold a special place in Mexican culture, serving as a powerful form of artistic expression, social commentary, and political activism. Dating back to pre-Columbian times, murals have been used to depict myths, rituals, and historical events, providing a visual record of Mexico’s rich indigenous heritage. However, it was during the Mexican Muralism movement of the early 20th century that murals truly flourished as a medium for social and political discourse.
Led by iconic artists such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco, the Mexican Muralism movement sought to create art that was accessible to the masses and reflective of Mexico’s diverse cultural identity. Murals became a means of celebrating indigenous traditions, critiquing social injustice, and promoting national unity in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution.
In Oaxaca, mural painting has become an integral part of the city’s cultural landscape, with vibrant murals adorning the walls of buildings, plazas, and alleyways throughout the historic center. These murals often depict scenes from Oaxacan folklore, indigenous heritage, and contemporary social issues, providing insight into the complex tapestry of Oaxacan identity.
Organizing Your Own Mural Tour of Oaxaca City
Embarking on a mural tour of Oaxaca City is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local culture and gain a deeper understanding of the city’s artistic heritage. Here are some tips for organizing your own mural tour:
Research Mural Hotspots
Start by researching popular mural hotspots in Oaxaca City, such as the neighborhoods of Jalatlaco, Xochimilco, and Centro Histórico. These areas are known for their concentration of murals and street art, offering a diverse range of styles and themes to explore.
Use Instagram to Find Cool Murals
People upload pictures of themselves with murals all the time while traveling, so it’s a good idea to browse using a city’s location to find cool murals to try to find on your tour. Think of it as an artistic treasure hunt!
Join a Guided Tour
Consider joining a guided mural tour led by a local artist or cultural expert. Guided tours provide valuable insights into the history, symbolism, and significance of Oaxacan murals, allowing you to gain a deeper appreciation for the art form and its cultural context.
Alternatively, you can explore Oaxaca’s murals independently by wandering through the city’s streets and alleys at your own pace. Keep an eye out for colorful murals adorning the walls of buildings, public spaces, and community centers, and don’t be afraid to venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems. Oaxaca is a very walkable city, and a pleasure to wander around.
Document Your Journey
Be sure to bring along a camera or smartphone to document your mural tour and capture your favorite artworks. Taking a selfie with a cool mural is a sure way to impress your friends back home!
Support Local Artists
Consider supporting local artists and muralists by purchasing their artwork or attending exhibitions and events showcasing their work. Many artists offer prints, postcards, and other souvenirs featuring their mural designs, providing a unique memento of your time in Oaxaca.
Exploring Oaxaca’s vibrant mural scene is a rewarding experience that offers insight into the region’s cultural heritage, artistic innovation, and social activism. Whether joining a guided tour or exploring independently, travelers can immerse themselves in the beauty and diversity of Oaxacan mural painting and gain a deeper appreciation for this cherished art form.

title: Here we are again

text: All we can do is keep at it. According to the Violence Project who have studied every mass shooting incident since 1966, Active Shooters have 4 common elements: 1. Early childhood trauma and exposure to violence at a young age; 2. An identifiable grievance or crisis point; 3. Validation for their belief system, have studied past shootings to find inspiration; 4. the means to carry out the attack. All of these items can be addressed. Specifically, Number 2 by EAPs who promote and engage in preventative planning with their organizational clients. "Grievance and crisis points" can occur in workplaces and according to the Department of Homeland Security, most commonly around organizational change. In fact, the DOH cites in its 2015 Interagency Security Committee the value of an active, well-known EAP presence towards its workplace violence prevention initiatives. EAPs are subject matter experts and should be involved when planning before, during, and after these situational events. Over-all, EAPs can and should offer more than just helping with the Preparedness and Recovery Phases in emergency planning. EAPs can incorporate meaningful workplace violence programs and participate in threat assessment teams with workplaces and school systems. As the frequency of these tragic events continue to trend upward, so too is critical analysis of emergency response plans. This analysis goes further than just looking at law enforcement response, but the entire systemic response, including EAP. EAPs are good at Responding. We are becoming more included in Preparedness activity, but how involved are we in the Prevention Phase? Are we ready with the tools, services and education and resources for when our clients come calling for these prevention plans? Prevention is, after all, what EAPs mission is based on. Your thoughts.

After a remarkably successful launch, the żappka app quickly gained the appreciation of Polish users. More than 3 million people were already using it to take advantage of personalized promotions and discounts, collect points, and exchange them for rewards.
Żabka realized that introducing a proprietary payment system could benefit both the company and its customers. Żappka Pay would make it much more convenient to identify users and apply discounts and rewards to their accounts upon purchase.
We knew that building Żappka Pay would require us to integrate multiple complex systems: the payment provider (First Data), Żabka’s POS system, and the mobile app itself.
After gaining a sufficient understanding of their interdependencies, we designed the key element that now combines all these systems: Payment Gateway & API.
Only after complete technical analysis did we proceed with the actual backend development.
We chose to build it in Django. The framework is not only popular but also universal and proves to be a good choice whenever an integration of multiple systems is involved.
In this case, the main purpose of Payment Gateway is to support the activities revolving around tokenizing cards and authorizing users based on the PIN code or biometrics.
leveraging best practices and solutions that impede so-called man-in-the-middle attacks during communication with the device. Specifically for Żappka Pay, First Data Polska made it possible to:
While developing the UI, we focused on ensuring seamless user experience and ultimate reliability.
We achieved that by implementing a range of innovative solutions that enable features like:
As an end-to-end solutions team, we partner with Clients to help them understand their customers


title: Breast cancer surgery patients mental health disorders may have more hospital woes

text:
(RxWiki News) Having breast cancer surgery is tough for any woman. But recovering from surgery may be a little tougher for women who also have mental health issues.
A recent study compared the surgical complications, length of hospital stays and hospital costs in a group of women who had their breasts surgically removed because of breast cancer.
The results of the study showed that more women with mental health disorders or substance abuse disorders had longer and more expensive hospital stays and surgical complications than women without these disorders.
"Tell your surgeon about any mental health concerns before surgery."
Justin P. Fox, MD, from the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT, led an investigation into whether mental health issues played a role in how women fared after having surgery to remove their breasts due to cancer.
For the study, the researcher looked at 40,202 women over the age of 18 who had surgery to remove one or both breasts (mastectomy) because of invasive breast cancer between 2005 and 2008.
Overall, 5 percent of the patients had at least one of the following mental health disorders: major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress, panic, adjustment or generalized anxiety disorder and substance abuse disorder.
The researchers compared post-surgical complications, longer hospital stays and increased costs of care in patients with mental health disorders and those without.
Patients with a substance abuse disorder were more likely to have post-surgical complications compared to those without a substance abuse disorder (9 percent versus 5 percent, respectively).
Patients with a substance abuse disorder were more likely to be in the hospital for more than three days compared to those without a substance abuse disorder (26 percent versus 14 percent, respectively).
Average costs were also higher for patients with a substance abuse disorder. While costs were at $9,855 for patients with a substance abuse disorder, costs were at $9,128 for those without a substance abuse disorder.
Patients with other mental health disorders also showed increased rates of complications, hospital stays and costs.
A total of 6 percent of patients with mental health disorders had surgical complications versus 5 percent of patients without any mental health disorders.
Hospital stays longer than three days were experienced by 9 percent of patients with mental health disorders compared to 5 percent of patients without mental health disorders.
Hospital costs averaged $9,723 for patients with mental health disorders, compared to $9,108 for patients without mental health disorders.
The authors recommended healthcare professionals make greater efforts to identify and manage patients with mental health and substance abuse disorders from admission into the hospital through recover from surgery.
This study was published in March in The Breast Journal.
Funding sources were not released to the public. No conflicts of interest were found.

I made our regular payment to our home equity loan. With $79.21 going towards principal, our new balance is $6,342.05!!
A little history:
The loan balance was $13,999 at the beginning of January. My original goal was to pay off half. That we did!! At some point, much earlier this year, we changed the goal to pay it all off.
But then, we decided to go to Disney World for vacation at the last minute with cash. It's not something I regret, as we expect my husband to be deployed early in 2010.
Although not unexpected, we are facing costs for our oldest daughters braces to the tune of $3781 if we pay over time. But we could also pay in full, on August 28th, and save $189.
Can you see a lack of focus here?
I tell all of this to explain how and why our goals and priorities are changing. It may have been a bit too ambitious to pay the full loan in 12 months time, particularly knowing the braces were on the horizon. However, it's really the trip that could, maybe should, have been skipped. But again, I do not regret it. It just will take us a few months longer to pay off the home equity loan.
Honestly, I think we have done an amazing job. Our debt load in total is less than the beginning of the year. We increased the amount we invest in our retirement. We paid for a big vacation in cash. We will also pay for my daughter's braces in cash. So, I'm giving us a pat on the back for accomplishing what we have.
Tomorrow, I will post about the plan for the braces, as well as give a few more details on my goals for the HEL. So, check back in!!

The Emory Law School curriculum is attuned to the needs of the legal occupation and the universe of careers engaged with the law. Willamette Law’s Placement Workplace supplies the experience, skills and opportunities students and alumni need for a lifetime of successful profession management. The Equal Justice Works Fellowship program presents aspiring public interest lawyers a possibility to design public service tasks with legal companies organizations that help build sustainable options within the communities where they serve.
Dual Degree students must apply and be admitted separately to the Law School and the relevant joint diploma companion faculty. You will discover that they’re always based mostly on authorized plunder, organized injustice. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that triggered males to make laws in the first place.
Municipal law is outlined by Mr. Justice Blackstone to be “a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in a state, commanding what is right and prohibiting what is mistaken.” This definition has been criticised, and has been perhaps, justly thought-about imperfect.
And in 2018, National Jurist named Suffolk Law as the top law faculty within the nation in authorized technology. Laws are adapted to those cases which mostly occur. There isn’t a nation on this planet the place the law is kept extra within its proper area: the protection of each particular person’s liberty and property.
Many businesspeople cite the territory’s sturdy legal system as a purpose for doing business there and can be nervous of a lurch in direction of a extra capricious style of rule. To have the pressure of law, a federal Government Order should be printed in the Federal Register, the official government publication of govt orders and federal administrative company regulations.


title: Aquafil closing its new california carpet recycling plant

text:
Shortly after opening its Northern California carpet recycling plant, Aquafil is working to close the facility and consolidate processing equipment elsewhere.
The Italy-headquartered fiber producer recycles nylon from carpet and other sources into fiber used in apparel and other textiles. It operates a plant in Phoenix that breaks carpet apart into its different materials and recycles the nylon and PP, while also recovering calcium carbonate. The nylon 6 pellets are shipped to Aquafil’s ECONYL plant in Slovenia, where a depolymerization process is used to recycle them.
Aquafil announced in 2019 it would open a similar plant in Woodland, Calif., near Sacramento, that year. The project experienced significant delays, meaning it is being closed shortly after fully opening.
California has the country’s only mandatory extended producer responsibility (EPR) program for carpet, although New York lawmakers recently passed a carpet EPR bill. Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE), the stewardship group that runs California’s program, recently booted Aquafil off the CARE board for supporting the New York bill.
A spokeswoman for the company confirmed with Plastics Recycling Update that Aquafil is decommissioning the Woodland recycling facility and sending carpet scrap to Phoenix to be recycled. The Phoenix site is closer to Aquafil’s three carpet collection sites in Southern California, she said.
The spokesperson acknowledged “the decision was made due to insufficient carpet supply to feed two recycling facilities (Woodland and Phoenix) each with two lines of carpet recycling. We needed 70 million pounds of used carpet and we could not source enough.”
Additionally, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) delayed power installation at the Woodland plant for over two years, “which did not help as Aquafil was trying to start up that facility and bring it up to the same speed as Phoenix.”
According to CARE’s report for 2020, the Woodland facility wasn’t expected to be fully operational until the third quarter of 2021. CARE had provided a $500,000 capital improvement grant to help Aquafil get the $12 million facility up and running.
Aquafil expects to decommission the Woodland facility by the end of this spring, the spokesperson said. All of the equipment will be reused by Aquafil either in Phoenix or at the Slovenia plant.
The company runs a number of other collection and processing facilities around the U.S.
Updated California program goals approved
Meanwhile, as Aquafil shuts down its Woodland plant, California regulators have approved aggressive new carpet recycling goals for the state program. The California Department of Resource Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) on May 11 approved stewardship program goals for 2023 through 2027.
They include a recycling rate of 31% for 2023, 34% for 2024 and 37% for 2025. In the past, CARE has faced hefty fines from CalRecycle for failing to meet the program goals. CARE achieved a 21% recycling rate in California in 2020.

title: The characteristics of three different water park projects

text:
The water park project is a recreational water playground with water as the main feature, water slides, wave pools, rafting rivers and other water park equipment. Its rise has changed the form of water leisure and entertainment to a great extent and has become a fast-developing leisure and entertainment business.
At present, the water park project is generally considered a theme park or paradise form and an essential part of the theme park. Then, we will take you to understand the design and planning characteristics of water park projects of different scales.
Ⅰ. The characteristics of the small scale aqua park project
The area of the small water park is not less than 10,000 square meters. The design plan of the water park project is mainly based on the parent-child family group customers. The leading water park equipment includes children's water play series, children's water slides, artificial wave pools, lazy rivers and a few 2 meters above the small water surface.
The water park project's design scheme is smaller in scale, requires less investment, recovers costs faster, and is more flexible in operation. However, because of the location, the design and planning of the water park project have fewer supporting equipment and relatively few playable projects, which is generally appealing to tourists who enjoy the excitement.
Ⅱ. Characteristics of medium-scale water park projects
The medium-scale water park project covers an area of about 10,000 to 50,000 square meters. It is a comprehensive water park with a broad customer base and can accommodate tourists of different ages.
The water park equipment in the design plan of the water park project includes giant water slides, children's water playing equipment, medium-sized water cottages, large artificial wave pools and various children's water slides. Smaller water parks have a larger scale of design and planning, more complete equipment, and more attractive people, but the investment cost is higher and the payback period is longer.
Ⅲ. Features of large-scale water park projects
Large-scale water park projects have an area of more than 50,000 square meters, with complete water park equipment and comprehensive design and planning. The leading water park equipment includes large water slides, water playing equipment, large water houses, large wave pools, theme amusement facilities and other water entertainment equipment.
Compared with the medium-scale water park project, its design and planning scale is larger, comprehensive, complete facilities and equipment, and strongly attracts tourists. However, the investment amount is relatively large, and the return period is rather long.
We specialise in providing water park planning, landscape design, equipment manufacturing, installation, and operation management. We are a member of the National Cableway and Amusement Facilities Standardization Technical Committee, China Amusement Park Standardization Technical Committee, GB/T18168-2017 Water Amusement Equipment General Technology Condition standard drafting company. We are the only company in China's water park equipment manufacturing industry that has passed TUV certification. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact us.
