Post through the first three through the use of the industry before the end of the year. Shandong Zhongtong Express, general manager of Chen Shunfeng told reporters, “ This is the cost of biodegradable to increase the express market competition so fierce We are in control of the cost of a difference is also a big figure.” But the constraints of environmental protection materials to promote the use of the bottleneck, is still the cost of the problem. The so-called green packaging, mainly refers to the ecological environment and human health harmless, can be reused and recycled, in line with the sustainable development of packaging. In first half of this year, the State Post Bureau also released the first ”Express Green Report”-“China Express field green packaging development status and trend report”, called for the promotion of green packaging, the development of green express. Data show that in 2015 the delivery industry consumes 8.26 billion plastic bags, tape 16.95 billion meters, can be around the Earth more than 400 laps, the annual production of millions of tons of packaging waste, the ecological environment is a great challenge.Īccording to Wu Huibing, president of Shandong Express Association, “in June this year, we 525 million courier, an increase of 80%, which will increase the use of bags accounted for about 60%, toxic and harmful plastic packaging, such a plastic bag Degradation takes 100 years(daily).” If you’re in search of tearproof, puncture-proof, and waterproof bubble mailers made from good quality materials, you’ve come to the right place.Īll sizes of our silver poly bubble mailer envelopes are approximate and subject to a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 5mm.In recent years, express service industry grew rapidly, known as the Chinese economy a “dark horse.” 2015 Shangdong Province express delivery industry completed 730 million, 9.71 billion yuan revenue, express delivery business ranked seventh in the country.

![]() The main advantage of boats is, they keep moving even when part of the crew is resting, effectively giving them round-the-clock movement. Alternatively, they could work for their passage as sailors and mercenaries defending the boat in case of pirate attacks. If the characters have enough funds, they could buy passage on a boat, though this would likely be quite expensive because of the distances we need to travel. Water Travel: There are a few types of boats that we can travel on, each with different speeds. We can increase our pace to 30 miles a day, but then we take a -5 penalty to Passive Perception, making encounters more likely, or we can slow our pace to 18 miles per day, but allowing us to use stealth, and make encounters less likely. Travelling through the wilderness would likely decrease this pace by some margin, so we'll prefer sticking to roads. Land Travel: A normal travel pace is 24 miles per day, which assumes 8 hours of traveling per day at a pace of 3 miles per hour on a road. For travel method, we have several options. The first things we want to figure out is what the fastest means of travel is, so we know which route to take, or when to switch means of travel should one option become unusable. ![]() The edition that the map represents should be mostly irrelevant, as the overall topography of the land hasn't really changed I have a huge poster map of the sword coast on my wall that I took down and measured these distances with a ruler, but these are still only approximate distances. ![]() There's the Desertsmouth Mountains, the Marsh of Chelimber, The High Moor, the Serpent Hills, and even the Anauroch Desert, all of which would have to be passed through or circumvented, so we'll probably want to take a roundabout route.ĭisclaimer: all distances are approximate. Unfortunately, however, there is no direct travel route that takes you on a straight line from Shadowdale to Waterdeep. For reference, it's roughly 1,200 miles as the crow flies. I'm not sure if your party realizes just how far it is from The Dalelands to Waterdeep. This is going to be a significantly long journey. My call is that El and Sylune view the journey as a learning experience for the party as they cross Faerun. The parties motive for travel is to escape the wrath of the lords of Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim. Neither of them casts spells for money so they would have to decide that the parties need is great enough to help them. ![]() In Shadowdale in 1355 DR (year of the Harp) the two spell casters high enough level to cast teleport are Elminster and Sylune (she dies in 1356 DR, year of the Worm). I've accepted the excellent answer from for mundane water and land based transportation to Waterdeep. What are common routes from Shadowdale to Waterdeep? Bonus points for the time various routes take. The time period is the 1350s DR, the geography is similar to 5e but not to 4e. The party is fairly low level, so their travel will be non-magical and not too expensive. The party I DM has completed their adventures in the Dalelands (Shadowdale and Daggerdale) and wants to travel to Waterdeep. ![]() ![]() ![]() īianchi TS, Canuel EA (2011) Chemical biomarkers in aquatic ecosystems. īelle S, Musazzi S, Lami A (2018) Glacier dynamics influenced carbon flows through lake food webs: evidence from a chironomid δ 13C-based reconstruction in the Nepalese Himalayas.

We validated our method against high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measurements on standard solutions and on varved, anoxic sediment from eutrophic Lake Lugano (Ponte Tresa sub-basin, southern Switzerland), where the history of productivity is relatively well known for the twentieth century. We have developed a new rapid and low-cost approach to infer the concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and related chlorophyll derivatives (pheopigments a) from the mathematical decomposition of UV–VIS measured bulk spectrophotometer absorption spectra of standard solutions and sediment extracts. Using chromatographic techniques to analyze long records at high resolution is impractical because they are expensive and labor intensive. Assessments of aquatic paleoproduction and pigment preservation require accurate identification and quantification of sedimentary chlorophylls. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the opposition was so effective that the Board of Supervisors decided to table discussion on Route 432, even after approving Fairfax Connector’s other proposed routes. They fear that more buses would turn their quiet neighborhood into a loud urban freeway. The residents interrupted the 2-hour question-and-answer section with comments that school buses had struck parked cars. They say the buses will endanger pedestrians and parked vehicles.Ī small group of 3 residents practically took over a public meeting last February where 100 people came to hear about the proposals. Many residents support better bus service in this area due to the highly congested nature of Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) and Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road/Maple Avenue), the main roads into Tysons.īut residents living on Old Courthouse Road and Creek Crossing Road have overtaken the discussion about one of the 4 proposed route options that would use those two streets. The proposed Route 432 would connect northern Vienna with the Spring Hill Metro Station and Tysons in a loop, filling a critical gap in the county’s transit network.

The endorsement passed in a 8 to 2 vote, with Foust and Hunter Mill District Supervisor Walter Alcorn voting against it. “This is a chance for Fairfax County to be a leader,” Supervisor Pat Herrity agreed, “and I think this encourages Maryland to move forward.” Everyone is familiar with the gridlock that Foust has explained…We’re close to a guarantee that Maryland is making significant progress.” “There are some signfiicant benefits to this project. “We don’t entirely control the schedule here,” McKay said. Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay and others on the board described the endorsement as a good-faith move on Fairfax’s part. Going forward without agreement from Maryland is exposing us to worsening impacts.”īut Fairfax County has faced mounting pressure to endorse 495 NEXT, most recently from Virginia Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine. “I want to make it clear, I think it’s a mistake. “Of course that hasn’t happened, nothing significant has happened since December to justify us reversing our opinion,” Foust said. Foust’s frustration comes from Maryland dragging its heels on the project despite an earlier pledged commitment to widening.įoust said that, as recently as December, the Board agreed that VDOT should only consider further action on widening once Maryland executed a comprehensive agreement with a developer to fulfill their half of the project. The plan would add new express lanes from 495’s intersection with the Dulles Toll Road up to the American Legion Bridge, where the plan was to connect with similar lanes on the Maryland-owned bridge and onto the Maryland side of the beltway. “But without the Maryland project, 495 NEXT worsens traffic in the general portion lanes…Until the American Legion Bridge is widened, these adverse impacts are far greater than any public benefit.” “I’ve lived with the horrible congestion caused by backups at the American Legion Bridge and I’ve supported widening or replacement of the bridge,” Foust said. Supervisor John Foust, representing the Dranesville District that would ostensibly stand the most to gain from the project called 495 NEXT, said the project only addresses half the problem and, without the other half, could only worsen an already miserable bottleneck. ![]() (Updated at 2:10 p.m.) Officially, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors endorsed the I-495 extension of the express lanes on Tuesday (April 13), but the discussion leading up to that vote showed that some officials closest to the project still have reservations. ![]() ![]() Btw if you are reading this don’t read the bad reviews.

For Ted, its playing on his narcissism and paranoid nature, presenting him with an escape route. For Ellen, its reliving the painful memory of being raped in an elevator by a man in a yellow coat. For Benny, its the graves of the people he killed to cover up the fact he was gay. From here on, there will be serious spoilers.Įach of the scenarios that AM presents to the five survivors hurls them into a situation where they are confronted with their past in some form. As such, we will be using Freud’s personality theory, specifically the concept of the Id, the Ego and the Superego, as these are represented to us towards the end of the game. These are the keys to finding out the reason for why he despises humanity so much. To truly understand AM’s hatred, you have to break down his character, his circumstances and his fate. To say AM hates is to underestimate bu how much. The game itself revolves around each character confronting their pasts as part of a sick game AM plays for his own entertainment. These are Nimrod, Ted, Gorrister, Benny and Ellen, who have been trapped for 109 years under AM’s control and tortured in a thousand different ways. Harlan had never been asked the question before and thus, decided to focus the game around the concept, as well as expanding on the various characters from their fairly two-dimensional personalities in the original short story.ĪM hates humanity, having formed from three supercomputers developed to run a global nuclear war and merging together to form a conscious mind, AM killed everyone on the surface, save for five individuals. This plays an important part in the game ahead.ĪM is really the highlight of the game, starting us off with a fairly well-known speech about how much he hates humanity and the crux of the game’s story came from someone asking Ellison why AM hates the five humans left alive specifically. AM’s name comes from Cogito Ergo Sum, I think therefore I AM, signifying his ability to think for himself, or so he proclaims. Ellison himself had a hand in developing the game and story, as well as providing the voice for the main antagonist, AM or Allied Mastercomputer. ![]() For those of you who don’t know, the game is based on a short story of the same name by Harlan Ellison, released nearly thirty years prior in 1967.

Contrary to the social and political impetus of the bourgeois toward increased privacy, the consumption of fashion in particular ran as part of a wide social current-being à la mode became a highly publicized statement in art as well as in clothing. To view art and to buy gowns one had to venture out into the public, into a commercial setting. Paintings were no longer exclusive to collections in haute bourgeois drawing rooms, and clothing was no longer individually commissioned from the comfort of one's own home. Therefore, art and fashion together began to leave the confines of private spaces and made the consumption of commodities public. ![]() ![]() It was also the time when the art market expanded significantly due to technical advances in the reproduction of artworks, the establishment of museums such as le Louvre (which became property of the French state in 1848), and the opening of commercial galleries by the Durand-Ruels and Bernheim-Jeune (late 1850s, early 1860s) in the French capital. The year 1868 saw "La Chambre syndicale de la confection de la couture pour dames et fillettes" establish the guidelines for the production and promotion of high fashion and the popularization of complex new fabrics through weavers such as Joseph Marie Jacquard and through the development of the sewing machine by men such as Thimonnier Barthélemy. Although fashion was produced elsewhere, too, it was this "Western" concept that eventually determined its global idiom and reception. Thus, there exists a shared point of origin due to socioeconomic foundations in western Europe. Correspondingly, art as an autonomous production of subjective expression not bound directly to ecclesiastical or monarchist decrees emerged through the foundation of a bourgeois culture after the European revolutions between 18, when artistic education, independent structures of display, and expanded commercial possibilities allowed for a new creation and distribution of art. The timing qualifies the term as denoting clothing that is produced according to a certain seasonal rhythm, in quantities large enough to have an effect on sartorial appearances within a society, that can be exported as a "style," and that is consumed according to a prescribed agenda. This is not to say that the notion of fashion did not exist previously. Fashion came into being with the advent of the couture industry in Paris in the second half of the nineteenth century, when a bourgeois audience began to demand constant change as an intellectual, aesthetic, and, above all, economic stimulus for modern times. This was not accidental, since the institution of fashion, as clothing that adheres to particular modes of production, representation, and consumption, was connected to the emergence of similar structures in the creation and dissemination of works of art. The concept of fashion's point of origin in the mid-nineteenth century is contemporary with a fundamental change in the market for works of art. When one considers "fashion," as distinct from "clothing," "costume," or "dress," it is as a socially shared concept of what is to be worn at a particular point in time rather than an esoteric, ritualistic, or utilitarian cover or decoration of the body. ![]() |
