They say spending on hotels, which rebounded relatively early from the pandemic, dipped this spring, while the late-recovering cruise industry is still steaming ahead - card spending on cruises rose 37% last month, although from very low levels a year ago. Industry executives say consumers are favoring the experience of travel over other types of spending, but some analysts see cracks in the strong demand for travel that began in early 2022.īank of America analysts say data from their credit and debit card customers showed a slowdown in spending in April, as card use fell below year-before levels for the first time since February 2021. “I don’t have the hubris to tell you exactly how the summer is going to go, but we have prepared and we have a robust plan for it,” said Andrew Watterson, chief operating officer at Southwest Airline, which struggled at times over the summer of 2022 and suffered an epic meltdown around Christmas, canceling nearly 17,000 flights.įor the travel industry, the big question is how long consumers can keep paying for airline tickets and accommodations while they try to deal with stubbornly high inflation, news about layoffs and bank failures, and fear of a recession. Airlines have hired about 30,000 workers since then, including thousands of pilots, and they are using bigger planes to reduce flights but not the number of seats. Travel company Expedia said larger inventories let the companies rent more cars at lower prices.įor air travelers, airline industry officials say carriers have fixed problems that contributed to a surge in flight cancellations and delays last summer, when 52,000 flights were nixed from June through August. Renting a car is also cheaper than a year ago, when some popular destinations ran out of vehicles.

In 1970, the area around the Kinzua Bridge opened as a state park. Either way, the overall construction was still looked highly upon, and was added to the National Register of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks in 1977. Many engineers disagree as to what approach should have been taken. There has been much research done and calculations as to whether or not these were beneficial features to include. Second, all transverse diagonal bracing was omitted on the reconstructed bridge. First, the tops of the two battered post of each bent are brought closer together than with most viaducts, forming a near isosceles triangle as opposed to a quadrilateral one. The ASCE identifies two significant changes that distinguish the Kinzua Bridge, or viaduct, from other related structures. The Kinzua Bridge is seen here in its original form before the reconstruction. per square inch, while the elastic limit of the steel used is between 33,000 and 35,000 lbs.” The bridge’s reconstruction took approximately 120 men about four months to complete. As the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) noted, “The maximum stress in the towers from the supposed combination of loading does not exceed 14,000 lbs. Wind was also taken into account, as engineers placed the fixed ends of the lower legs in the north side, the direction in which the wind typically comes from at that location. One improvement was the implementation of building techniques such as sliding plates and free moving spans, which reduce the stress of braking trains upon the bridge. A large portion of it collapsed, rendering the bridge impassible.įrom the day the bridge opened, in 1882, it was hailed as “the eighth wonder of the world.” During the bridge’s reconstruction in 1900 many changes and adaptations were made. In 2003, the bridge was struck by a tornado. After decades of use, the bridge would be uncrossed until from 1959 until 1987, when the Knox and Kane Railroad began running excursion trains for tourists. The bridge was rebuilt using steel, and reopened for use on September 25, 1900. The introduction of larger and heavier locomotives made it necessary to strengthen the bridge. ![]() After the tornado, the Kinzua Bridge gives new meaning to the phrase "Bridge to Nowhere."

There will be options for development of the ground. For me, it is more important for the club to move ahead and for the kids to enjoy the club that I was wondering if I had cursed them with. The only change I would make is for them to decline the opportunity more and let me go instead. Now, when we get them, I prioritise my kids so they get first option. The club has to do what it does to accrue extra income and it is great that they have increased demand for tickets. Sometimes when making a point, you lose out. If anyone remembers the open top bus protest, I and my daughter were the only ones on the bus to boycott the ManU game despite a 150 mile round trip. I was openly boycotting against Ashley and through my website at the time, made a point. I couldn’t afford a season ticket in the Kevin Keegan managerial years so relied on mates, cup matches and away grounds. What is your current position with access to home tickets, away tickets? What changes would you like to see the club make, if any? Let’s just celebrate that we have been fortunate to have three of the best. He was the man that Howe must certainly aspire to be, or even exceed.Īll three have turned out teams that are great to watch. Sir Bobby was class, been there, seen it, done it. If anything, and I know it will be debated, Eddie Howe is more of an all round manager, KK being probably the best motivator we have had but Howe recognises his capacity to improve. Now that we have him, both played high pressure football. On a personal level, my father, before he died, was an advocate of Eddie Howe. So similar to Kevin Keegan with the energy and flair.

Our mission is to bring this compendium of secrets to lovers of works that transgress the unusual, as it is an enigma that no technical advance has been able to solve in 600 years. There are skeptics who attribute it to the simple notebook of a madman, but the truth is that its indecipherable condition has attracted the attention of historians, cryptographers, renowned doctors in ancient languages and even NASA scientists. Some point to the Cosmos, others to botany or obscure sciences. Six centuries later, it has not been possible to identify the language used by the anonymous author. Although it also lacks a date, carbon-14 analysis has placed it between approximately 14. It also has no title and is uncapitulated. He didn’t succeed and, finally, ended up donating it to Yale University in the mid-1960s. From there it traveled to New York, where the antiquarian Hans Peter Kraus acquired it from his heirs for $24,500 with the intention of reselling it. He discovered it in the Franciscan convent of Mondragone (Italy). Voynich got hold of it in 1912, convinced that its indecipherable contents hid the principles for a future revolution in modern science. It is known that this document dates from the 15th century, that it is written in a language that no one has been able to decipher and that it contains a series of enigmatic images and illustrations.Īstral signs, non-existent flowers and plants, esoteric images and nudes complete a work as attractive as it is mysterious, which caught the attention of a bookseller interested in the unusual and from whom it takes the name by which it is known today. John Dee, a magician who claimed to be in constant communication with the angels by means of magic stones, and Edward Kelley, an alchemist and researcher of the occult, of suspicious fame and quite a charlatan, were the ones who negotiated the important sale of one of the strangest codices, if not the strangest, and whose meaning remains a mystery.

"He had a clear vision for that show and he's just a brilliant animator. Mondo Media CEO John Evershed attributes the success of the series to animator Kenn Navarro. From there, Mondo gave them their own Internet series, which they named Happy Tree Friends.Īfter its internet debut in 1999, Happy Tree Friends became an unexpected success, getting over 15 million hits each month along with screenings at film festivals. ![]() They came up with a short named "Banjo Frenzy", which featured a dinosaur (an earlier version of Lumpy) killing three woodland animals, a squirrel, a rabbit, and a beaver (earlier versions of Giggles, Cuddles, and Toothy) with a banjo. In 1999, Mondo gave Aubrey Ankrum, Rhode Montijo, and Kenn Navarro a chance to do a short for them. Rhode hung the drawing up in his workstation so other people could see his idea, and eventually, the idea was pitched to and accepted by the Mondo Media executives. He then drew a yellow rabbit that bore some resemblance to Cuddles, writing "Resistance is futile" underneath it on a spreadsheet poster. While working with Mondo Media, Rhode Montijo drew a character on a piece of scrap paper who would later become Shifty. Each episode revolves around the characters enduring accidental or deliberately inflicted pain, murder or mutilation. The show is best known for its episodes starting out peacefully with the animals living life as normal, but a sudden event unintentionally (sometimes intentionally) caused by another animal leads to many of the characters being subjected to very extreme and cruel graphic violence and suffering brutal deaths.

While there are a few slightly tinted versions available, the popular choice is to install clear window film to homes because it doesn’t actually change the exterior look at all.Įven clear window film has great benefits. Window film is by far the preferred choice for homes. Most window tinting options also offer the same or similar benefits as window film, like energy efficiency and UV ray protection as well. With mirrored tinting there is no visibility to the inside of your space from the outside, so privacy is no longer an issue. Many offices choose this type of window film to give their employees more privacy from passersby, or from nearby buildings that may have visibility.Īnother popular option for window tinting is using mirrored film to create a completely private window. There are many different shades to choose from that will also add privacy because they are fairly difficult to see through from the outside. ![]() Window tinting tends to block some of the natural light coming into a space, which can be beneficial in office settings where glare becomes a problem. However, sometimes using window film that is slightly tinted can add privacy to a home in a crowded neighborhood, and can sometimes flow with the exterior look of the home. Window tinting is more common in commercial buildings or businesses than it is in residential areas because it is usually impractical in appearance for homes.
