11/30/2023 0 Comments Holiday gas station hours![]() ![]() For your convenience, the next two sections list the holidays on which Costco Gas Stations remain open and the holidays on which they are closed. Also, they are closed on some of the national holidays. It remains open on certain holidays but the hours are slightly different from that on a regular day. Keeping that in mind, Costco gas station opening timings are aimed at offering convenience to its customers. Gas stations are crucial, especially on holidays because that is when people plan to go on short or long trips. Note: The delivery option is pre-determined depending on the item that you are buying.Īlso, it’s worth calling out that due to COVID19, the Costco gas hours are still subject to change, depending on the location you’re in. Here’s a detailed table showing the Costco gas hours of operation every day: Day During Sundays, they operate between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. On Saturdays, Costco Gas Station hours begin at 7:00 AM and remain closed between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Their gas stations operate between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM (Monday to Friday). It’s good to be aware so that you don’t end up being there at one of their gas stations when it says it’s closed.Ĭostco Gas hours are scheduled in a way to offer 100% convenience to its customers. Well, because the timings have changed after the pandemic. So if you have made up your mind to fill up your tank, just be cautious of Costco gas hours. But little did you know that this wholesale store also offers access to high-quality gasoline at a much lesser price. ![]() Costcois well admired for its endless assortment of products-from food, groceries to electronics, medicines, they have it all. ![]() 11/30/2023 0 Comments Blue reflection hentai![]() they are in a bubble thinking people want slice of life, crafting and school customization,with random enemies peppered in 'dungeons' that would otherwise be peaceful when not fighting, that's not quality magical girl game design. It worked for Sailor Moon and Pretty Cure, it can work for Gust magical girl RPGs.īut the ones in charge are clueless. Rinse and repeat, keep the writing good, the progression good, the characters good, the villains good, the power ups good. Not saying making a knockoff, but rather make it episodic with monster of the day, a group of villains that are persistently involved, recruiting new magical girls, a magical girl protagonist that is actually the best looking in the story, social events should only take up 2/3 of an episode, with the climax of the episode being super action packed with a villain barking orders, waves of enemies to fight, and a unique boss fight afterwards to be the cherry on top for that day/night. But eh, in the end, it will be about the profit for KT.Īll they gotta do is trace what Sailor Moon or later Pretty Cure (basically Super Sentai formula) does, and they would have a winner. Give them time to polish everything because the core ideas are there and they’re great. I know they have the measurement of interest for Ryza through merchandising, so I’m hoping for a breakthrough for quality with Ryza 3. ![]() I understand they outsource a lot of things, probably (I’m guessing they do after watching the credits roll on various Atelier games), but the core team at Gust is talented and KT is honestly not taking advantage of that. It truly is an improvement from the demo alone, and I would hate to see the IP go to hell because they (KT or Gust) made a mistake of trying to create an anime for it.Įdit, a bit OT: I also wish KT would give Gust a bigger budget for things. ![]() I hope KT realizes that the anime left a sour taste, and to give Gust another chance with it. I really enjoyed the first game despite it being far too easy. ![]() So I agree, I could see that turning people away from the sequel and series as a whole. I’ve avoided the anime… I tried watching it, but I didn’t enjoy it at all from what little I’ve seen. ![]() 11/30/2023 0 Comments Deer antler spike![]() To determine the primary cause of SOOS antlers, I needed samples. Dirty Sheds and Skull Soupįor my study, I defined spike-on-one-side (SOOS) bucks as any buck having either:ġ) a side-to-side difference in gross Boone & Crockett score of greater than 50 percent, orĢ) a side-to-side difference of more than two typical antler points. I decided to look into this phenomenon while pursuing a doctorate in wildlife sciences at Auburn University. Nevertheless, “spike-on-one-side” bucks are hotly debated, with many hunters insisting this characteristic is gene-based and advocating the shooting of these bucks for gene-pool improvement. ![]() There is not a “left antler” genetic code and a separate “right antler” genetic code, which is why the vast majority of whitetail bucks display left and right antlers of roughly equal shape and dimensions. Instead, I’ll focus on the first question, which was the subject of my recent research.Īnybody who has taken part in deer camp conversation knows that many hunters blame a buck’s odd-looking antlers on “inferior genetics.” It is crazy how this thinking has spread despite a lack of published research to support these claims after all, I don’t think many hunters would deny that both sides of a buck’s antlers are determined by the same genetic code. This raises two questions: 1) Do abnormal antlers result from genetics? and 2) Can hunters influence the genetic composition of a free-ranging deer herd through selective harvest? The answer to the second question is already emerging through research: It is difficult or impossible for hunters to influence genetics in free-ranging deer. In one sense of the term, deer with abnormal antlers are identified by hunters as genetic misfits and targeted for harvest. The term “cull bucks” can take on many different meanings. Hopefully I can present some information that, combined with other research on this topic, will help lay to rest the myth of “genetic cull bucks.” ![]() While ethics play a major role in other debates, the dispute over cull bucks boils down to science – something that should not be debatable. Among hunters, few topics stir discussion like hunting over bait or hunting deer with dogs – but the dispute over “cull bucks” comes close. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Isa- My favorite boss fight in the game, the ice giant Isa is not easy to beat. As long as you dodge the big dwarven hammers and avoid her shield slams, you’ll be fine. Take them all down as fast as you can because the falling stalactites shred her health bar. When you get Fe low enough, pillars start to form on the outside perimeter of the ring. If the dwarves are still overpowering you, try to lead them around the pit until Fe winds up her shield to throw – let the cave giant kill her own underlings. After she summons her dwarven minions and shouts to have them attack you, throw down a decoy and start wailing at her feet. At this point in the game, you should have unlocked Loki’s Decoy power, which will make this boss fight much easier. Soon enough, she’ll be mulch and you can move on to the next zone.įe- The only Jotun that isn’t an elemental, Fe has an army of dwarves at her bidding that want to do nothing more than to send you to Hel. When the flower appears in Jera’s stomach, start hitting her with everything you got. Chop down the tentacles, stay near the blue flower when the gas cloud hits and learn the pattern of her punches (it’s always left to right) and you’ll have no problems beating her. You need to dodge the summoned tentacles that slam the ground, outrun the poison gas cloud so you don’t choke to death and make sure not to end up a pancake under her massive fists. She might be the first giant, but that doesn't mean she’s easy to take down. Jera - The first real boss you face is Jera, a nature Jotun who uses plants and vines to destroy you. If you are having trouble slaying the mighty Jotun, here are some tips to help you knock these giants down to size. If you are new to the game, expect to get your asses whooped by the Jotun– giant bosses who are not easy to slay.

The driver was able to point out the three suspects. When police officers arrived he went with them back to the scene. Many of those went to Good Humor vendors, who continued to operate as independents. By the end of the decade, the company had sold off what remained of its fleet for 10003000 per truck. The driver got his keys back and drove away. The last two traditional Good Humor trucks were built in 1973. The two women then climbed on board, Bielecki said, and took all the ice cream. Moments later, Bielecki said, a man with what appeared to be a rifle pointed the gun at the driver, and McDonald grabbed the keys to the truck. McDonald demanded money for the damage caused to the car.Īt this point a crowd formed around the truck, and Bielecki said the driver handed over some money. On a nearby porch, Roderick McDonald, 24, of Detroit, began yelling at the driver, said Detective Ben Bielecki. That made the man, who police declined to identify, lightly bump into a parked car. As the driver began to stop, the pair, armed with water guns, allegedly squirted him in the eyes. when two females, April Franklin, 20, and Reona Light, 17, flagged him to stop. On May 29 at 2:30 p.m., a 19-year-old male ice cream truck driver was driving down Danforth St. Two women and a man are being charged with armed robbery of an ice cream truck driver, but it wasn’t about money.

When working with MongoDB, you can leverage BSON to handle complex operations, such as converting BSON to Excel format, allowing for easy analysis and reporting. BSON serves as the bridge between MongoDB and other applications, enabling seamless data exchange and manipulation. In addition to its flexibility and scalability, MongoDB offers the convenience of utilizing BSON (Binary JSON) for efficient communication with the stored data. These documents are stored in collections, analogous to how tables work in relational databases. MongoDB stores its data as objects which are commonly identified as documents. MongoDB is known for its scalability, ease of use, reliability & no compulsion for using a fixed schema among all stored documents, giving them the ability to have varying fields (columns).

Trade and the export of rum, candles, fish, furniture, silver, and other goods were the main engines of economic growth during the 18th century, activities inexorably linked to Newport’s participation in the slave trade and widespread ownership of slaves by families throughout the city.ĭuring this time the waterfront bustled with activity with over 150 separate wharves and hundreds of shops crowded along the harbor between Long Wharf and the southern end of the harbor. Surveyed by Charles Blaskowitz and published by William Faden, 1777. Among the best known of these were the Townsend and Goddard families, who made extraordinarily fine and beautiful furniture.Ī Plan of the Town of Newport in Rhode Island. The Quaker’s neighborhood on Easton’s Point was home to some of the most highly skilled craftsman in colonial America. ![]() The Quakers became the most influential of Newport’s numerous early congregations, influencing the political, social and economic life of the town into the 18th century, and their “plain style” of living was reflected in Newport’s architecture, decorative arts and early landscape. The Society of Friends flourished and grew, and, by 1700, over half of Newport’s population were members of the Society of Friends. The Quakers also came to Newport in the late 1650s. Although the Jews came to Newport in the 1650s, their real contribution to the cultural and economic life came in the 1750s. Their presence, along with their international trade connections, helped transform the town from a small agricultural outpost to one of colonial America’s five leading seaports (along with Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston). The founders’ commitment to religious freedom had a profound impact on all aspects of the town’s subsequent history.Īmong the religious groups attracted to this haven in a world of threatening intolerance were Quakers and Jews. These early settlers founded their new town on the basis of liberty of conscience and religion and Newport became one of the first secular democracies in the Atlantic world. A group lead by William Coddington and Nicholas Easton moved south to form Newport in 1639.īy the time they arrived in Newport, many of these settlers were becoming Baptists and embraced a belief that was central for the Baptists of Europe at the time – the separation of church and state. In just over a year, however, that settlement split in two. ![]() View from top of Washington Square, or “The Parade.” Oil on canvas, painted by an unidentified Hessian artist, 1818.Īnn Hutchinson’s group settled at the northern end of the island in an area known as Pocasett. Current evidence points to the existence of a large summer settlement in what is now downtown Newport, and the work these native people had done clearing the land was one of the factors that made this area attractive to English settlers. Native people had been in the area for at least 5,000 years, and had established sophisticated land management and fishing practices. What the English settlers found on their arrival was hardly an empty wilderness. After consulting with Williams, her group arranged with the native Americans to settle on Aquidneck Island. She and her band of supporters followed the path taken by Roger Williams when he, too, was banished from Massachusetts for religious reasons. She had been driven out of Boston for her religious beliefs which challenged the very foundations of Puritanism. The first English settlers arrived on Aquidneck Island in 1638 following a remarkable woman named Anne Hutchinson. This contradiction was recognized from the earliest days by many, but it took over 100 years for the abolition movement to gain prominence in the community. However, a central paradox in Newport and Rhode Island’s early history was the combination of a commitment to liberty in the religious realm with a willingness to participate in the practice of enslaving other human beings. This policy was a beacon to settlers with wide-ranging religious beliefs, who came primarily from other colonies at first, and co-existed in the rapidly growing settlement, unaware that their town’s religious diversity was a prototype of the America to come. ![]() The policy of liberty of conscience and religion embodied in the Newport Town Statutes of 1641 was a result of the religious beliefs of its founders and their frustration over political intervention in their religious life in Boston. Since its founding by English settlers in 1639, Newport has bustled with diversity. ![]() 11/30/2023 0 Comments Spike cowboy bebop sitting![]() ![]() When Faye retorts that it’s easy for Spike to say the past doesn’t matter, since he has one, Spike responds with an important truth: "and you have a future." Spike is so caught up in his past that he can’t see a future for himself, Jet wants to forget his past, Julia has so little past that we don’t even know her last name, and Faye can’t remember her past until the end of the story. If people get too caught up in trying to tear down Julia to make Faye look good and vice versa, they might miss the importance of both Faye and Julia in Spike’s story–and Cowboy Bebop is Spike’s story, first and foremost. I loved both of these characters, for how they were different and how they were alike, as well as how they fit into Spike’s life, past and present. When it comes to Faye and Julia, it’s best to look a little deeper than surface appearances. What’s interesting, though, is that while the depiction of Julia as sweet and matronly is only one aspect of a much darker woman, the depiction of Faye as a skanky, gambling, cheating, "trust no one" wench is only one aspect of a woman who once was a sweet, loving, and idealistic girl with a zest for living. Faye even shares the distinction of hanging out in the same bar, and sitting on the same barstool, as Julia did in Jupiter Jazz. What little we know of her past also tells us she slept with two men who were mob enforcers, and had a penchant for hanging out in bars and smoky pool halls.įaye can shoot, is good enough in the Red Tail to back up Spike, connives against her partners regularly, and also has a fondness for smoky bars. In the real world, Julia can shoot, drives evasively, doesn’t flinch when people shoot at her, and pulls a gun on her former lover. Sure, Julia is shown wearing modest clothes and even a matronly apron, but these are Spike’s memories, filtered through loss and longing. By making Faye and Julia so physically different, I think the writers were playing a little game with the viewers by encouraging them to focus only on the superficial.īut everybody in Cowboy Bebop hides their true selves, and an important element of the series–and what I like best about it–is how the writers slowly revealed who these people really are. ![]() Those little looks the women give each other as they exchange names reinforces that one big something they have in common: Spike.Īt first glance, it would seem Spike is the only thing these two have in common–but when I gave it more thought, I realized they were a lot alike after all. Then, adding to an already interesting situation, it’s soon apparent Julia knows about Faye and that she’s with Spike. "You saved me," Julia tells Faye, and Faye answers, "You saved me back." Faye’s usual self-protective brashness is absent, and there’s even a friendly moment as they share a companionable smoke. They clearly respect each other’s skills. Faye and Julia instinctively worked like partners, which I think says a lot about them. Faye sees another woman in trouble–understandably a sore spot for her–and instantly transforms from petulance to steely-eyed resolve, hops in Julia’s car, and obliterates a bunch of syndicate goons with an efficiency that would’ve made Spike and Jet proud. One of my favorite scenes in Cowboy Bebop is the meeting between Faye and Julia. Well, in all honesty, Spike really wasn’t such a great prize (as much as I loved the character) and my feelings about Julia and Faye are based on how they responded to each other–and since they liked and respected each other, I’ll go on liking and respecting them, too. To others, Faye’s a loud-mouthed, trashy, self-absorbed brat who could never be worthy of Spike’s love. To some, Julia’s an evil syndicate whore who wasn’t worthy of Spike’s love. ![]() Reactions to Julia and Faye often swing between extremes.

Surely the ultimate Christmas present, it was one of six “End of the Era” commemorative editions produced. Hull No 774 was completed in 1996 and delivered new to the founding family of the giant Sony Corporation on 23 December 1998. Bidders from around the world competed to own the boat, which was considered extra special, because it was the last of the original, wooden-hulled Rivas to be sold to the public. The most expensive classic Riva ever built was probably an Aquarama, which crossed the block at Mecum Auctions in Kissimmee, Florida, back in 2011, for an impressive $975,000. The Aquarama Special then emerged, running from 1972 to 1996 with 278 boats built. This included first classic Riva Aquarama yacht, of which 288 were sold, and the Super Aquarama, with 203 splashing. The original Riva Aquarama line was delivered from 1962 to 1972. And, true to his word, Carlo Riva ensured Ribot III remained a one-off, even turning down a request for a similar craft from King Hussein of Jordan. Roncoroni used the boat, Ribot III, mostly on Como, and kept her until 1970 before selling her on to the second owner who has owned this classic Riva ever since. The dashboard featured sparkling, chrome bezel instruments befitting the Cadillac-powered Special. The unique interior had red, white and blue front seats that could be laid flat to let occupants sunbathe away from prying eyes. What he got was an 8.3 metre wood-clad wonder powered by two high-performance, marinised Cadillac Eldorado V8 engines, each producing 325hp to push the boat to a stunning 60mph. He wanted the best, fastest and largest Riva ever. In 1960, Roncoroni persuaded the company to build him a one-off version of the Tritone Special model classic Riva yacht. Riva owners may commonly have been rich and famous, but it was rare to get special treatment however, Carlo Riva broke his rule in the case of the Como industrialist, champion sailor and Riva patron, Achille Roncoroni. At nearly eight metres LOA, the Super Tritone was a long, powerful version of Riva’s Tritone, its biggest thus far. While 221 of the standard Tritone version were delivered, far fewer of the far more desired Super Tritone came into being, with only 21 hitting the water. The first twin-engine classic range Riva yacht was the Tritone, in build from 1950-1966. We trace the history of the most popular classic Rivas, and round up a few of the most memorable Rivas of all time… But it was his great-grandson, the legendary Carlo Riva, who had the vision to create a range of wooden-hulled speedboats that were to become the epitome of the jet-set era of the 1950s and 1960s.Ĭarlo Riva was inspired by the products of the American yacht builder Chris-Craft, for which he was an agent, and he used Chris-Craft and Chrysler engines in his classic Riva yachts. The roots of classic Riva yachts go right back to 1842, when a young Pietro Riva began repairing and building yachts on Lake Iseo in northern Italy. ![]() |
