![]() We’ve written previously about the Coleman Rocky Mountain 5 tent after seeing it at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show earlier this year, so when Coleman got in touch with us, we were keen to field test one for ourselves. Editors Choice winner, 2016 Camping awards.Flysheet is fire retardant and features UVGuard, providing SPF 50 protection.BlackOut Bedrooms™ block out 99% of sunlight and regulates temperature.We’d have liked mesh on the large front door, apart from that though, the Solaris has everything we look for in a quality tent.2 doors and plenty of windows, make the tent bright and airy.Lots of well thought out design features, like pockets to stow doors into, bedroom dividers and hanging points.Internal storm straps to give the tent extra stability in high winds.Much bigger inside than the tent looks.Cable entry points made using our HUBi solar charger effortless.Super fast pitching time and pumping up the AirBeams was lots of fun.Pack size of the tent and pump is good.We loved the oversized bag, which made packing the tent away easy.The Solaris is a truly excellent tent, and we’re already looking forward to camping in it again! What We Liked This is definitely much more than just the weekend tent we thought it would be, and we’d have no hesitation in using this for our longer camping trips. We think the Solaris is perfect for anyone wanting to invest in a high quality AirBeam tent, and it provides ample space for couples who glamp, or for smaller families. The Solaris is ideal for when my health doesn’t allow me to help with pitching too, as the AirBeam tent is super easy for one person to put up on their own. The manufacturing quality is excellent, as you’d expect from Vango, and we loved the abundant clever design features (see our pictures below).Īfter using the Solaris, we are absolute converts to AirBeam tents, and certainly won’t be sad to see the back of pole tents (apart from our beloved bell tent of course!). It’s also a great place to retreat to away from the hot sun, and from rain showers too and we experienced some real extremes in weather over the weekend, and were incredibly grateful to have a covered outdoor area. The addition of the front porch provided extra living space, perfect for summer evenings. The addition of the front porch is brilliant, and effectively added to the amount of overall usable living space, and the height of the tent is great too, helping it to feel nice and big. I previously owned a Vango Icarus 500, with an additional extension, which I used happily for many years, and the Solaris is an ideal, slightly bigger replacement. The tent worked very well for us, and even with our usual furniture, camp kitchen and so on, the tent never felt at all cramped. We were pleasantly surprised however and found the tent extremely spacious. Having looked at the dimensions, we weren’t convinced the Solaris would be big enough for our usual needs, and expected it to only be suitable for short weekend trips. ![]() We tend to go for very large tents usually as a result of our hobby, because we have a lot of costume, props and accessories to take along with us when we camp at events.

Let’s face it – iPhones have been around a long time. ![]() ![]() Oh man, is this like describing sex or what? Yes, a total domination of food trends in China, mala hotpot is the new food porn. “Yes, it’s very spicy but apparently, if you have passed that tolerance threshold, you would want more of it. “mala” in Chinese, means spiciness (“la”) and numbing sensation(“ma”), thanks to the 2 main ingredients: red hot chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorn. I have heard the same comments from many Chinese celebrities in media on how much they love mala hotpot. I have been aware of how insanely popular mala hotpot is among Chinese folks. The common ones include the Cantonese hotpot with fresh seafood, the Beijiing hot pot with lamb cooked in a copper pot, the Chiuchow style beef-only hotpot, and notoriously, the Sichuan/Chongqing mala hotpot. Hotpot consists of 3 main elements: hotpot broth, food ingredients, and dipping sauce, which are the keys to tell the different styles of hotpot in different regions. And it’s for all generations, and more popular among the Millennials and even the Generation Z in China. But more significantly, hotpot, served at home or at restaurants, is the perfect way for social gathering, for family, friends, teammates, co-workers, and even business meeting. It’s the simplicity and the interactive nature which make it so likable. The hotpot ingredients may vary from region to region, but the concept is the same – simmering food in a pot of delicious broth, and giving the food a blast of flavour while cooking food to the perfect temperature. To date, hotpot restaurants account for 22% of all the transactions on Dianping.įirst of all, it’s not bound to any particular Chinese regional cuisine. And the answer is hotpot!Īccording to Dianping, China’s version of Yelp and Groupon combined, as of 2016, there were over 320,000 hotpot restaurants in China, a number way exceeding any other Chinese and world cuisines in the country. It's the perfect end to a scorching meal, and left me with a happy smile on my lips as I waltzed away into the evening.China continues to grow as the formidable economic giant, and it’s wicked to think about what the most popular dish is in the most populated country on this planet. It's a bit subtle yet still smoothly sweet and satisfying. The overly-descriptive name says it all, really. My personal favourite is the Grass Jelly in Vanilla Sauce with Green Tea Ice Cream (+$2.95). I would've preferred the durian to be less frozen, but I understand that it holds its shape better when presented this way. ![]() The Durian & Thai Black Glutinous Rice (+$3.95) is not quite my cup of tea. The Glutinous Rice Balls in Mango Juice (+$2.95) and the Mango Pomelo and Sago Sweet Soup (+$1.95) are both great for those who enjoy intense mango flavours Paired with a drizzle of condensed milk, it's simply fantastic.Īnother unique aspect of the restaurant is its wide range of Chinese desserts that you can order at the end of your (spicy) meal. Instead of frying the bun as a whole, this restaurant pre-slices the bread before deep-frying it, resulting in a much more intense fried flavour. The fried steamed bun (mantou) here is also sinfully delicious. The best part is you get to decide how big you want your balls to be. The intensity outmatches that pre-made stuff you get in the Chinese supermarkets. These come in paste-form within a hollowed-out cylinder that you scoop out yourself. I also recommend trying the homemade shrimp balls and cuttlefish balls. Marrying meatiness and fattiness, the marbled meat nicely absorbs the flavours of the broth and practically melts in my mouth. The pork neck is my favourite of the lot. Liuyishou has some standout items that I've never seen in other hot pot restaurants. Don't miss out on the sliced beef and New Zealand lamb slices. The ingredients here are decent quality and plentiful. ![]() Lack of English writing aside, the variety here is impressive. For a real challenge, dunk a few cabbage leaves into this broth and eat them immediately afterwards.ĭon't forget to go to the mix-and-match sauce station for your dipping sauces. The star of the show is the tear-inducing spiciness of the "spicy broth." It is extremely fiery, an accurate reflection of Chongqing cuisine. ![]() If You Want to Know More About Report, Before Buying: Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share as well as the fastest-growing market for activated carbon market in 2022. ![]() ![]() By Raw Material, Coal accounted for the largest share in 2022.By End-Use Industry, Water Treatment accounted for the largest share in 2022.By Application, Gas Phase Application accounted for the largest share in 2022.By Type, Powdered Activated Carbon accounted for the largest share in 2022.Opportunity: Recycling of activated carbon.Drivers: Rising concerns for pollution control.List of Key Players in Activated Carbon Market :ĭrivers, Restraints, Opportunities and Challenges in Activated Carbon Market: It is produced by heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood, coal, or coconut shells, etc., to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, which creates a network of tiny pores and cavities in the material.īrowse in-depth TOC on "Activated Carbon Market” Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous material with a large surface area that is commonly used in a wide range of applications, such as air and water purification, gas processing, chemical purification, and others.

He had this to say about the LTI volume solution that he recently adopted. It allows one person to gather the necessary data quickly, safely and accurately.Ĭhris Childers is the fiber supply manager at Ponderay Newsprint in Usk, WA. Of all the methods, the Laser Technology (LTI) solution is the simplest and most cost effective way to measure volume. UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) are highly capable but there is restricted use and FAA paperwork to contend with. Others are expensive and weather dependent. Some are very accurate but time consuming, often with a higher risk of injury. However, there are pluses and minuses to each method. For example, high accuracy GPS, traditional survey equipment, or a Cessna 172 and aerial camera are all common. There are a number of methods available to calculate volume. The repeatability is normally acceptable but it can be difficult to achieve good accuracy if the pile has a lot of peaks and valleys.Ĭommon Stockpiles: Wood chips, coal, aggregate, logs The amount of guess work and number of measurements depends on how irregular the shape. The volume of a pile is often calculated by taking several width and height measurements and recording the results on paper. It’s understandable given that piles can be worth millions and their volume critical to plant operations. Their numbers are pretty good although the accountant is uneasy and wants something more repeatable and accurate. They can glance at a pile between sips of hot coffee and tell you the tonnage. These are folks who wear the sole off a nice pair of leather work boots in a single year. We aren’t talking about armchair quarterbacks here.

Construction can be a safe occupation when workers are aware of the hazards, and an effective Safety and Health Program is used. This is one of OSHA's Strategic Management Plan Focus Areas. These incidents can be avoided by compliance with OSHA standards. Scaffold incidents causing injury or death to workers is often the result of either the planking or support giving way, by the worker slipping, the absence of fall protection, or being struck by a falling object. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related incidents can prevent injuries and deaths attributed to falls from scaffolding each year.

Samples and Freebies – There are sites on the web that are just giving the seeds away. The cost of Christmas tree seedlings will vary based on age/size, species, and quantity. Seed Swaps– If you have some seeds stowed away, you can connect with like-minded gardeners to set up a seed swap. Do a search for your region to see if there’s a seed library near you. Since stored seeds are only viable for so long, seed banks are all about sharing seeds with the hope that users will replenish their reserves down the road. Seed Libraries – Promoting plant biodiversity, seed banks collect and store seeds to help safeguard against extinction. The average seed shelf life is three years, so be sure to label each seed packet with the contents and the date. If you’re not ready to plant them just yet, store your seeds in an airtight container like a mason jar, plastic film canister, or zippered plastic bag in a dry, cool place. Scoop the pulp away and collect the seeds, placing them on a plate to dry. Once it stops bubbling, pour some water into the jar and stir the heavy seeds will sink and the pulp will rise. After a few days it will bubble and get a bit mouldy. Spoon the seeds, pulp and all, into a jar and cover the top with cheesecloth.

Your pumps vacuum levels vary from L01-L12. A “comfortable” vacuum level may vary significantly, from day to day, during the day and even during the same expression session. We suggest that you start off with the vacuum level on low and gradually increase the vacuum level to a comfortable level. Some women think that milk expression occurs faster on higher vacuum levels, however, it is important not to set the vacuum level so high that it makes you uncomfortable, as the resulting pain will hinder your milk flow. The vacuum level is measured in mmHg on your breast pump and refers to how strongly the pump will ‘suckle.’ The strength of suction level should mimic how strong the baby suckles but should always be kept at a comfortable level. ![]() To adjust the cycle speed, press the +/- button. Once the milk lets down (releases from the breast), the baby will start to slow down (decreased cycles per minute) at breast. When a baby goes to breast to elicit the letdown of milk, the baby will suckle faster (more cycles per minute) to get the milk flowing. The cycle speed is measured in “CPM” or “Cycles Per Minute” on your breast pump and refers to how many times the pump will ‘suckle’ and release per minute. ![]() With your Protogo device you can start up more Macs more quickly than with a traditional DVD, and have the tools to get more done: iNSTALL/REGiSTER NOTES: Use our keymaker to register the application Protogo allows you to add other utilities, including those you're used to seeing in your Utilities folder, to the devices it builds giving you many more tools than your typical diagnostic DVD Whether you have a fleet of Macs to maintain for your business, or simply have your family's MacBooks to look after, Protogo can give you access to all the tools you need.
