She is also in Guinness World Records as largest in service square-rigged ship featuring 5202 m2 of sail. Royal Clipper ship claims she is the biggest "true sailing ship", of course, built since Preussen. Royal ship's design is based on Preussen - the famous 5-masted German Flying P-Liner windjammer built in 1902. The renovations included Rainer Maria Latzke's frescography murals, completing the Mediterranean interior of the vessel. In July 2000 Merwede shipyard completed ship's interior. Her first name is Gwarek (meaning The Miner in ancient polish). The Royal sailing ship was designed for the polish miners as a sailing holiday cruiser. The 5-masted, steel-hulled, fully-rigged vessel was designed by Zygmunt Choreń and built using the existing steel hull modified by Gdansk Shipyard. The 227-passenger Royal Clipper is a tall sailing ship owned by Star Clippers Ltd (Sweden). The vessel (IMO number 8712178) is currently Malta- flagged (MMSI 248786000) and registered in Valletta. The fleetmates Star Flyer and Star Clipper are both authentic 4-masted barquentines. The 2000-built Royal Clipper cruise ship is a masted barquentine/tall-sailing ship constructed by Stocznia Gdynia SA (shipyard in Gdansk Poland). 14 days, one-way from Panama City to St Johns Antiguaħ days, one-way from St Johns Antigua to Bridgetownħ days, round-trip Windward Islands Christmas Cruiseħ days, round-trip Grenadine Islands New Year Cruiseġ6 days, one-way from Bridgetown to LisbonĢ6 days, one-way from Bridgetown to Vallettaĥ days, one-way from Valletta to Piraeus-Athensġ1 days, one-way from Piraeus-Athens to Cannesġ8 days, one-way from Piraeus-Athens to Civitavecchia-Romeħ days, one-way from Cannes to Civitavecchia-Romeġ7 days, one-way from Venice to Civitavecchia-Romeġ0 days, one-way from Venice to Civitavecchia-Romeġ4 days, one-way from Venice to Civitavecchia-Romeġ4 days, one-way from Civitavecchia-Rome to Veniceġ1 days, one-way from Civitavecchia-Rome to Veniceġ1 days, one-way from Venice to Civitavecchia-Romeģ days, one-way from Civitavecchia-Rome to Cannesħ days, round-trip Corsica French RivieraĢ8 days, one-way from Cannes to Bridgetownġ6 days, one-way from Lisbon to Bridgetownġ4 days, one-way from Bridgetown to Panama Cityħ days, round-trip Grenadine Islands Christmas Cruiseħ days, round-trip Windward Islands New Years Cruiseġ4 days, one-way from Bridgetown to Las Palmas de Gran Canariaġ2 days, one-way from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to CannesĦ days, one-way from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to MalagaĦ days, round-trip Corsica French Rivieraĩ days, one-way from Cannes to Civitavecchia-RomeĤ days, round-trip Corsica French Rivieraĥ days, one-way from Cannes to Civitavecchia-Romeġ0 days, round-trip Grand Voyage Venice To Veniceġ5 days, one-way from Venice to Civitavecchia-RomeĢ0 days, one-way from Civitavecchia-Rome to Lisbonġ3 days, one-way from Civitavecchia-Rome to Lisbon

The CHAR data type allows you to store fixed-length strings with a maximum size of 255 characters. String data types are normally used to store names, addresses, descriptions or any value that contains letters and numbers including binary data, like image or audio files. MySQL supports three categories of data types: string, numeric and date/time data types. The MySQL implementation of the LIKE operator allows numeric expressions to be used.The following sections describe the data types supported by MySQL. You can also use the ESCAPE clause to specify your own custom escape character. The input string didn’t have an underscore character in that spot and so the result was negative. The escaped version explicitly stated that only the underscore character ( _) will match. The unescaped version returned positive, because the wildcard meant that we could have any character in that spot. Let’s change the input string slightly so that we get a different result: SELECT The second line also matched, but only because the input string happened to have an underscore in the right place. The first line matched because the wildcard specified that any character will match. In this case, they both matched, but for different reasons. Here’s an example of such a search with and without the escape character: SELECT What happens if one of the wildcard characters are in your input string and you need to perform a match against it? You can escape it with the backslash character ( \). Here’s the full list of artists in that table:Įxample 4 – Escaping with the Backslash Character In this case, it was a simple query that returns all artists whose names start with the letter B. Here’s an example of how we can use this operator within a database query: When it’s used in this fashion, it narrows down the results to only those records that match, but we see the actual results (not just a 1 or 0). The LIKE operator is often used within a WHERE clause of a SELECT statement when querying a database. 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE '_ likes _' AS 'Result 4' 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Charlie _likes donuts' AS 'Result 3', 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Charlie_nuts' AS 'Result 2', 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Ch%rlie_donuts' AS 'Result 1', Let’s make some changes to that example so that we can see some examples of when they don’t match: SELECT | Result 1 | Result 2 | Result 3 | Result 4 | 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE '% likes %' AS 'Result 4' 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Ch%rlie %likes %' AS 'Result 3', 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Ch_rlie%nuts' AS 'Result 2', 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Ch_rlie%donuts' AS 'Result 1', The two wildcard characters can be combined within a pattern if required: SELECT 'Charlie likes donuts' LIKE 'Ch_rlie%' AS 'Result' Here’s an example: SELECT 'Charlie' LIKE 'Ch_rlie' We also have the option of using the _ wildcard character to specify only a single character. This is because we didn’t use a wildcard character to specify any other characters. The return result is 0 which means no match. Here’s what happens if we drop the %: SELECT 'Charlie' LIKE 'Char' The % character matches any number of characters (including zero characters). In particular, we specified that the input string should start with Char and end with anything. In this case, the return value is 1 which means that the input string matched the pattern. Here’s an example of how to use this operator in a SELECT statement: SELECT 'Charlie' LIKE 'Char%' The default escape character is \, so you can omit this clause if you don’t need to change this. The optional ESCAPE clause allows you to specify an escape character. Where expr is the input string and pat is the pattern for which you’re testing the string against. The syntax goes like this: expr LIKE pat This function can be used with string expressions and table columns. The pattern doesn’t necessarily need to be a literal string. If the string matches the pattern provided, the result is 1, otherwise it’s 0. In MySQL, the LIKE operator performs pattern matching using an SQL pattern. Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.

Parts of the continent and nearby ocean were 18-36 degrees Fahrenheit (10-20 degrees Celsius) higher than averages from 1979 to 2000. Overall, one of the largest contributors to this week’s heat records is an exceptionally mild winter in the Antarctic. The earth is becoming less fertile and less generous.” He cited a scarcity of water and quality feed for livestock as causes for illness and even miscarriage among animals: “It is clear that we are facing profound changes in our environment. or later to buy fertilizer and vegetables. “After that … I practically can’t move because of the heat.” Customers don’t venture out until 5 p.m. I take refuge there when the heat becomes unbearable,” said Sy, who tries to work from 6 a.m. “I have a small shelter built from wooden poles and scraps of cloth. For Abdallahi Sy, a 56-year-old farmer who works in the market gardens, environmental changes have reduced his already-meager income. People are also feeling the effects in Nouakchot, Mauritania’s capital city, on the shores of the Atlantic. To combat heat and humidity, children on Thursday frolicked in the Nile River while pedestrians hunted the shade. Last week, Egypt experienced one of its many summer heatwaves, with temperatures soaring above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 degrees Celsius), according to the country’s national weather forecaster. I’m starting to think seriously that I’m going to leave Timbuktu.” “I’ve been having heart palpitations because of the heat. But this year, even at night, it’s been hot - I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Arby, who rarely leaves her hometown. “Usually, at night it’s a bit cool even during the hot season. In Timbuktu, Mali - at the gateway to the Sahara Desert - 50-year-old Fatoumata Arby said this kind of heat is new. More frequent and more intense heat waves are disrupting life around the world and causing life-threatening temperatures. “If we persist in delaying key measures that are needed, I think we are moving into a catastrophic situation, as the last two records in temperature demonstrates,” he said. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the latest numbers help prove “that climate change is out of control.” “The alarming extreme weather events impacting millions of Americans underscore the urgency of President Biden’s climate agenda and the absurdity of continued efforts by Republican lawmakers to block and repeal it,” spokesman Abdullah Hasan said. And the White House said the data show the need for legislative action. Though the figures are unofficial, many scientists agree they indicate climate change is reaching uncharted territory. 08 degrees Fahrenheit (.04 degrees Celsius) higher than any week in 44 years of record-keeping, according to Climate Reanalyzer data. That metric showed that Earth’s average temperature on Wednesday remained at an unofficial record high, 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit (17.18 degrees Celsius), set the day before.Īnd for the seven-day period ending Wednesday, the daily average temperature was. On Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration distanced itself from the designation, compiled by the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition. Sweltering heat is blanketing much of the planet, and one unofficial analysis says the past seven days have been the hottest week on record, the latest grim milestone in a series of climate-change-driven extremes.

The common factor is China Eastern Airlines, whether. I have been having huge problems with tracking numbers starting with LV - lost after China, fake China Post tracking, destroyed beyond recognition en route. Just a PSA for Canadians, specifically Ontarians. Please provide a solution for this matter of this tracking number for this package. Cursed tracking numbers of pain start with LV. Please process and enter 'LY653849603CN, the sender must get this package back, because the receiver already refused this package.' in your China Post system and let the China Post staff who would involved know this information. You can start to sound the alarm already from the 7th day after receiving the tracking number, most likely the seller has not shipped parcel, and only reserved the tracking number. (Must send and ship this package back to the sender), no exception. Postal or courier company takes time to arrange the parcel, weigh, prepare customs documents, sort & forward package further along the route. Did the sender refused this package again, I knew I was the receiver so I could refused this package, but how could the sender refused this package, I did not understand this matter? By the way, I as the receiver I already refused this package, (please would not ship me back this package again, I would not accept this package). I tracked this tracking number with China Post, but it showed this package was refused again in CN. But I already (refused) this package in US and have the carrier USPS/China Post sent this package back to the sender in CN. Hi China Post staff, China Post tracking number: LY653849603CN I was the receiver for this package. We have provided a table below of commonly used measurement conversions.Ĥ. Which measurement units should I be familiar with? The small red 1-3 marking denotes a 1 foot 3 inches or 1’3” measurement marking.ģ. In the diagram above, the red 01 marking denotes 1 foot or 1’. Where can I see a 1-foot marking on my tape blade? 1 Soot=3.175mm precisely, but for common use, 1 Soot= 3mm approximately.Ģ. It is used frequently in North, Middle and Eastern India. Soot is a commonly used local term, that equates to 1/8 th of an inch. Measuring a length using a specific object For example, in the image below, the wooden board measures 10inches or 25.4cm. If the object extends past a whole number, calculate the additional distance based on the markings. Then, check the closest fractional or decimal marking beyond it. To read a measurement, first identify the whole number that aligns with the end of the object you are measuring. There are 10mm in each centimetre (shown by the ten spaces between each cm) and 100cm in each metre. In the metric system, each smallest division represents 1mm. For example, a 1/4 mark is longer than a 1/8 mark. The most common fractional divisions in the imperial system are 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and so on. These markings represent fractions on the additional scale (in the imperial system) or millimetres/mm (in the metric system). Referring to the diagram above, observe the smaller lines between the whole numbers. Step 5: Observe the fractional or decimal markings Each number represents a full unit of measurement for example 1” or 1cm. If you refer to the diagram above and move away from the zero point, you’ll see a series of large numbers representing either Inches on the top or cm on the bottom half of the tape blade. This point is where your measurements start. The beginning of the measuring tape will have a self-adjusting hook with the number “0” marked on it. Ensure you know which units are displayed on tape blade.Ī close-up of a FREEMANS Measuring Tape Blade Printed on the top scale is an Imperial scale, which is only for reference and not for official use. This can be seen on the bottom half of the tape blade (refer to diagram below). In India, measuring tapes typically display measurements in the metric system (meters and centimetres) which is the official system in the country. Step 2: Identify the graduations on the tape blade The width of the tape blade is 19mm and 25mm respectively. This indicates that the tapes can measure a maximum length of 3m and 5m respectively. The FREEMANS TUFF measuring tapes below are of 3m:19mm and 5m:25mm sizes. Common lengths for pocket measuring tapes are 3m, 5m ,7.5m and 10m. This will usually be printed on the measuring tape’s label. Look at the measuring tape to determine its total length. Here is a simple step-by-step guide on how to accurately read your measuring tape. Reading a measuring tape is straight forward once you understand the markings and divisions on its blade. This will tell you your fraction of an inch.The measuring tape is the world’s most frequently used measuring tool. Read the smaller lines of various sizes (remembering what the various sizes mean) up until your stop point. Read the first large number before your stop point - this will tell you the number of inches. Hold the front of the steel tape at the point you wish to start the measurement from, and extend it to the point where you want to stop. They usually are preceded or followed by numbers. Inches are the long lines that cross either half of, or all of the 1" width of the tape. A 1/2 (half) inch is exactly what it sounds like: Half of 1 inch.ĥ. 1/4 of an inch is every four marks on your tape measure.Ĥ. An 1/8 of an inch is twice as big as the 1/16 of an inch. The distance between every line on the tape measure is 1/16 of an inch.Ģ. A 1/16 of an inch, is usually the smallest measurement on a tape measure. Extend the tape measure, the tape is in increments of 16ths, 8ths, 4ths, 1/2's and inchesġ. The distance between each measurement with a red dot. Understanding what measurement it shows, is important, in any project. For measuring rooms, or large areas, the heavy duty style, in a case that pulls open and snaps shut is often used. Steel measuring tapes come in different styles. Metric tape measures are based on a different system of measurement. This would not work exactly the same for a metric tape measure. The frequency of microphone testing depends on how frequently the microphone is used and the criticality of the application it is being used for. There may be other issues that can be identified through testing, but these are some of the most common ones.A test can identify whether the volume level is appropriate for the intended use. Volume issues: This occurs when the microphone volume is too low or too high, making it difficult to hear the audio output.A test can identify whether the microphone is susceptible to feedback and how to prevent it. Feedback: This occurs when the audio output is fed back into the microphone, resulting in a high-pitched squeal.A test can identify whether the microphone is susceptible to this issue. Popping or clicking sounds: This can occur when a speaker pronounces certain syllables or letters too forcefully, causing a popping or clicking sound.A test can identify the level of background noise and whether it is acceptable or too high. Background noise: This issue occurs when there is unwanted sound picked up by the microphone.A test can identify whether the audio output is clean or if there is any distortion. Distortion: This occurs when the microphone is overloaded and the audio signal becomes distorted.You can also test your webcam if you’re using any video recording based applications like skype. Make sure you tell them that your mic is working fine on to get your problem fixed quickly. If you were able to do the online mic test on this website and found your microphone working but it’s still causing problems in third party softwares, we recommend you to contact the support team of that software. What should I do if my mic isn’t working in some softwares? The issue with testing your mic on a software, which does not seem to be hearing your mic, is that you can’t be sure if the issue is in the software or your mic. What’s the problem with microphone test done with software? However, using our online mic test tool, you can easily test your mic in seconds to rule out microphone connection issues instantly. Those applications are designed for different purposes and thus they could not do the mic test well. If you are using applications like Skype or Discord, their microphone testing feature may not be helpful and you might not know if your mic works. Learn More About the Online Mic Test What’s the benefit of conducting the online mic test using this Site? Last but not least, make sure that the volume level on the mic is turned up. Next, make sure that your microphone is not muted. If it’s a microphone used with a USB connector, check if it is a properly connected socket of the USB (Please do not use the pink microphone in this case). Next, Make sure that your mic is connected to the correct (normally pink) socket in your laptop/ computer. If you are using Safari as your web browser, you should open this mic test website in a different browser like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge. If you are able to see a line but the line isn’t moving, then your microphone is either broken or it’s not set up properly (more chances). If you are not able to know if your mic works after following both the steps shown above, please check if your microphone is connected correctly to your device. In most cases, it troubleshoots the problem. In this case, speak relatively louder into the mic and see if the line appears. In some of the cases you will not see a line while testing your microphone. Mic Test Trouble-Shooting Guide If you are not able to see any line after allowing access to your microphone, try the following steps: Trump told his supporters “help is on the way,” falsely claimed his 30-point defeats here were the result of fraud and said, improbably, that he would win California in next year’s general election. The world is being dumped into California. “We will reverse the decline of America and we will end the desecration of your once great state, California,” Trump said. Trump tapped into California Republicans’ exhaustion with their state’s Democratic leaders, who he said brought the state homelessness, open borders, high taxes, inequality, “woke tech tyrants” and rising crime.Ĭalifornia was once a symbol of American prosperity and creativity but is “becoming a symbol of our nation’s decline,” Trump said. Several GOP presidential candidates and others in the party have pointed in particular to events this week in Philadelphia, where dozens of people face criminal charges after a night of social media-fueled mayhem in which groups of thieves, apparently working together, smashed their way into stores in several areas of the city. Republicans see crime as a salient issue that can help them win back some of the suburban voters who have turned away from the party since Trump emerged as its leader and the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion. Homicides and other violent crimes have risen in California, where residents have also been deluged with headlines from rampant car break-ins and drug use in San Francisco’s troubled Tenderloin district to street racing and illegal takeovers across a new $588-million bridge in Los Angeles. “There must be retribution for theft and destruction and the ruination of our country.” “The word that they shoot you will get out within minutes and our nation, in one day, will be an entirely different place,” Trump said Friday. He has also proposed the death penalty for drug dealers, human traffickers and anyone convicted of killing a police officer.ĭuring his first year in office, Trump advised police to be rougher in their handling of suspects being apprehended, telling recruits, “please don’t be too nice.” In his book and in interviews, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper alleged Trump inquired about shooting protesters during the George Floyd demonstrations. In the past, Trump has proposed shooting migrants to prevent them from crossing the border. His remarks about crime, for instance, were especially pointed. While his focus on red meat issues plays well with the GOP base, it’s unclear that it will hold much appeal with the broader set of voters needed to win a general election. Trump’s comments on Friday underscored a central question surrounding Trump’s effort to return to the presidency. DeSantis was far back, at 14%, with the rest of the field lagging in single digits. A Public Policy Institute of California voter survey released Wednesday, but conducted in late August and early September, found Trump with support from nearly half of the likely Republican primary voters.

Eats same food as you, even likes lollipops simple to care for and train. These young monkeys grow about 12 inches high. Almost human with its warm eyes, your family will love it. “This Squirrel Monkey makes an adorable pet and companion. It was easy to fall for their tiny bodies and cartoonish, inquisitive expressions. A number of dealers including Animal Farm peddled the primates. But in the 1960s and '70s, a kind of squirrel monkey fever took hold more than 173,000 of the animals were imported to the United States from Peru and Colombia, where they would then be sold via private dealers and comic or magazine ads, including the Warren horror publications like Creepy and Eerie. Because they're prone to destructive tendencies, few primatologists would ever advocate for keeping them in residential captivity. Jamie, Flickr // CC BY 2.0Ĭhipper was a squirrel monkey, a popular species in the exotic pet trade that the National Resources Defense Council describes as needing an “insane” amount of care. This 1959 comic book ad offered a live monkey to anyone willing to hand out coupons. Tuthill suspected a possible wasp sting but could never be sure. When Chipper was about 5 years old, he died suddenly. (Peanuts and seedless white grapes were appealing bananas were not.) Chipper also enjoyed riding on the back of the family’s border collie, cowboy-style. Books and trial and error gave him some rudimentary knowledge of how to care for it. Surprisingly, his parents allowed him to keep the monkey, which he named Chipper. When Tuthill grabbed it, the monkey began gnawing on his arm “like a drill press.”Ī trip to the emergency room resulted in Tuthill receiving 28 stitches. Rather than settle in, the monkey began using the plumbing pipes as a jungle gym. Tuthill carried the monkey home and brought it to his basement, where he expected it to join his menagerie of rabbits and gerbils. All you could see if you looked in there was his face.” It had a little chicken wire screen window in it. It was probably the size of a shoebox, except it was higher. “When he called, I rode over on my bike,” Tuthill said. To make sure his parents didn’t get wise, he had the primate delivered to a friend’s house. As a kid in the early 1970s, Tuthill was reading a Spider-Man comic when he spotted an ad for a live monkey, which promised to bring “joy” to one's household. In 2008, a man named Jeff Tuthill told his sordid tale of a mail-order monkey mishap. That honor goes to the Animal Farm company of Miami Beach, Florida, which promised delivery of a genuine, live squirrel monkey to anyone sending them $18.95, plus postage due on delivery. Sea-Monkeys were far from the most outlandish attempt to solicit live animals to excitable children. X-ray goggles promised to make adolescents clandestine Peeping Toms Charles Atlas vowed to turn slightly built kids into muscular powerhouses most notably, Sea-Monkeys guaranteed a small packet of powder would bring aquatic life to your home. For comic book readers of the 1960s and beyond, the ads for mail-order items were sometimes just as intriguing as the superhero action they interrupted. |
