![]() I found that, a half hour after sunset, I could no longer see clearly into the animal enclosures. The zoo is large enough that at some point you’ll want to know when you can stop walking.Īnother pro tip: go at sunset, when it’s light enough to see the animals - of course there are no nighttime flood lights, as this might disturb the creatures - but dark enough to enjoy the lights. Also, knowing where you are and how much more walking to expect will set expectations. So you’ll want to walk them both without making the wrong turn and getting lost. The zoo is basically two big loops, where you could spend 90 minutes easily, or more if you have young kids. Magically, you’ll also find lighted dinosaurs, lighted birds floating on lily pads in the pond, and a huge undersea landscape with coral and jellyfish. There were no special effects where the lights blinked, except for one peacock display where the lights flickered in a set pattern. My favorite of these was a giant diorama of huge, towering Asian fungi and mushrooms. There were also more abstract displays, such as a giant snake archway, elephants made of white ceramic plates and cups (which I’m guessing can squirt water, but were turned off), and rows of lighted flowers on their own. And there were a very few - perhaps a dozen - with a basic animatronic motion, such as an elephant whose trunk lifted up and down. There’s a “garden” of lighted oversized flowers with oversized insects: grasshoppers, beetles, butterflies, and wasps, and a chameleon shooting out its tongue to catch a fly.Ī few have sound effects, such as the whale with fish in an ocean setting, with sound effects of waves and the whale clearing its blowhole. For example the lighted penguins came in a display with lighted ice around them. Many of the animals are set into dioramas. It’s wonderful to commune with nature: the animals, the trees and pond, and the lighted displays. And each type of animal is shown a dozen times in lights. There are so many of them! You’ll see oversized lighted peacocks, zebras, cheetahs, elephants, monkeys, hippos, parrots, lizards including Komodo dragons, kangaroos, frogs, giant dragonflies, camels, moose, bison, deer, alligators, seals, giraffes, and more. Some were simply animals and others had a multicolored, floral, Asian art appearance. Each is a metal frame, covered with a weatherproof cloth and lit from within. The light displays are beautiful, and extensive! You’ll see perhaps 300 large lighted objects, the “lanterns”, mostly animals, but also some floral or abstract displays. ![]() Pro tip: the event runs Wednesday to Sunday, so go on an off day. ![]() On a night that threatens rain but doesn’t rain there won’t be any crowding - the event is rain or shine - and if it’s windy, that’s even more virus safe. ![]() Of course it’s delightful to go on a clear night when there are a ton of stars. It’s a natural environment, not a cement one, so you’ll see plenty of trees, there’s a lovely pond to stroll past, and a food plaza. The zoo is 40 acres, and although the indoor attractions are closed because of the virus, the rest of the campus is available for strolling. I even heard a peacock cawing, looked up, and found that it was high up in a pine tree! I did spend some time searching visually for animals that weren’t there - perhaps the zoo could hang up signs on the enclosures where the animals would definitely be absent, asleep for the night. You’ll also see Watusi cattle, a sea lion, alpaca, flamingos, red crowned cranes, bald eagles, and more. Something like 10% of the animals were on display.Įveryone’s favorites are the African elephants, on display in a large enclosure with water and a waterfall. But at the Asian Lantern Spectacular, now in May or especially in June, you’ll see plenty. Zoo animals, which are displayed during the daytime, are chosen to be diurnal, and they mostly don’t like the cold. The lanterns event is similar to a previous event we’ve reviewed there, their October Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular (4.5 stars), but you’ll see more animals because the weather is warmer, and the entire zoo is open, so there’s more to see. Another creative nighttime event has come to the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island! Running now through July 4, the Asian Lantern Spectacular is an excuse to walk through the entire zoo at night, seeing “lantern” themed lit artwork, animals, and more.

![]() Research areas for lithium-ion batteries include extending lifetime, increasing energy density, improving safety, reducing cost, and increasing charging speed, among others. Both environmental issues have encouraged some researchers to improve mineral efficiency and alternatives such as iron-air batteries. Moreover, both lithium and other key strategic minerals used in batteries have significant issues at extraction, with lithium being water intensive in often arid regions and other minerals often being conflict minerals such as cobalt. Improperly recycled batteries can create toxic waste, especially from toxic metals and are at risk of fire. Lithium ion all solid state batteries are being developed to eliminate the flammable electrolyte. Much development has made progress in manufacturing safe lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can be a safety hazard if not properly engineered and manufactured since cells have flammable electrolytes and if damaged or incorrectly charged, can lead to explosions and fires. The first prototype of the modern Li-ion battery, which uses a carbonaceous anode rather than lithium metal, was developed by Akira Yoshino in 1985, which was commercialized by a Sony and Asahi Kasei team led by Yoshio Nishi in 1991. John Goodenough expanded on this work in 1980 by using lithium cobalt oxide as a cathode. Stanley Whittingham discovered the concept of intercalation electrodes in the 1970s and created the first rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which was based on a titanium disulfide anode and a lithium-aluminum cathode, although it suffered from safety issues and was never commercialized. NMC and its derivatives are widely used in the electrification of transport, one of the main technologies (combined with renewable energy) for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate ( LiFePOģ-based lithium rich layered materials, LMR-NMC), and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide ( LiNiMnCoOĢ or NMC) may offer longer lives and may have better rate capability. Handheld electronics mostly use lithium polymer batteries (with a polymer gel as electrolyte), a lithium cobalt oxide ( LiCoOĢ) cathode material, and a graphite anode, which together offer a high energy density. Cells can be manufactured to prioritize either energy or power density. The anode or negative electrode is usually graphite, although silicon-carbon is also being increasingly used. Most commercial Li-ion cells use intercalation compounds as active materials. Ĭhemistry, performance, cost, and safety characteristics vary across types of lithium-ion batteries. Compared to other rechargeable battery technologies, Li-ion batteries have high energy densities, low self-discharge, and no memory effect (although a small memory effect reported in LFP cells has been traced to poorly made cells). It also sees significant use for grid-scale energy storage and military and aerospace applications. It is the predominant battery type used in portable consumer electronics and electric vehicles. The electrolyte is typically a lithium salt in an organic solvent. Positive and negative electrodes remain positive and negative in normal use whether charging or discharging and are therefore clearer terms to use than anode and cathode which are reversed during charging. The positive electrode is typically a metal oxide the positive electrode is sometimes called the cathode as it acts as a cathode during discharge. This negative electrode is sometimes called the anode as it acts as an anode during discharge. The negative electrode of a conventional lithium-ion cell is typically graphite, a form of carbon.

As the joint candidate of the RPP and moderate wing of the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD), Guelleh won the presidential election held on 9 April 1999 with 74.02% of the vote, defeating his only challenger, the independent candidate Moussa Ahmed Idriss. On 4 February 1999, President Gouled Aptidon, uncle of Ismail Guelleh, announced his retirement at the time of the next election, and an extraordinary congress of his party, the ruling People's Rally for Progress (RPP), chose Guelleh as its presidential candidate, handpicked by Aptidon. He became President of Djibouti in 1999.ĭjibouti is one of four countries in Africa that have experienced instances of immediate successions from one family member to another. He received training from the Somali National Security Service and then from the French Secret Service, and was intended to become his uncle's successor. Īfter Djibouti became independent, he became head of the secret police and chief of the cabinet in the government of his uncle Hassan Gouled Aptidon, for whom he also served as chief of staff for more than two decades. In 1987, he became a member of the party leadership. Guelleh was elected into the LPAI’s Central Committee in 1983 and subsequently became the director of a cultural commission in Paris. He then became involved in the African People's League for Independence (LPAI) chaired by Hassan Gouled Aptidon, who campaigns for independence. In 1975, he was suspended from his duties because he was suspected of transmitting information to the independence movement. In 1964, at the age of 18, Ismail Omar Guelleh began working in the General Information of the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas, because he spoke Amharic, Somali, Arabic, French, Italian and English. In 1960, Guelleh migrated to Djibouti before finishing high school. When Guelleh was younger he attended a traditional Islamic school. The father of Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, son of Guelleh Batal, is Omar Guelleh, one of the first native teachers in the 1930s before working, following his father's path, on behalf of the Franco-Ethiopian Railway Company (CFE) which built the line connecting Djibouti to Addis Ababa and whose head office was in Dire Dawa. Guelleh was born in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, into the politically powerful Mamassan subclan of the Ciise Dir clan of the Somali ethnic group. He was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian award, on 25 January 2019 for his role in the safe evacuation of Indian citizens from Yemen. He is, at the international level, a close ally of France. ![]() Guelleh has been characterized as a dictator, and his rule has been criticized by human rights groups and governments, such as the United States. The elections were largely boycotted by the opposition amid complaints over widespread irregularities. Guelleh was first elected as President in 1999 as the handpicked successor to his uncle, Hassan Gouled Aptidon, who had ruled Djibouti since independence in 1977. He is often referred to by his initials, IOG. He has been in office since 1999, making him one of the longest-serving rulers in Africa. Ismaïl Omar Guelleh ( Somali: Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle Arabic: إسماعيل عمر جليه) (born 27 November 1946) is the current President of Djibouti. ![]() We also want to offer props to anyone who has the concept of mixing it with brown.

The peekaboo highlights on curly hair are ups and downs. The combination is platinum blonde and navy. It all relies on the sort of your character and how you plan your hair to express it. While some females are flattered with highlights in a color comparable to their natural tone, others look wicked with contrasts. For instance, a pixie haircut with heavy layers with a few burgundy highlights looks incredible. If you have a brief, choppy hairstyle, you should understand that peekaboo streaks are a great way to make it even more elegant.

Nothing too special was awaiting us in terms of weather, however. That is why Sascha began to print out today’s route and weather information timely. Even, or especially, for such short flights like ours to Milan Malpensa. We met early on purpose since Sascha wanted to show me around the briefing rooms in detail.Īs all of you know, a thorough flight preparation is essential for safe flight operations. Now it was time to get back to the hotel, to catch some sleep! I woke up rather early the next day since I met Sascha in front of the SWISS operation centre at 05:00 am in the morning. I loved the town’s panorama and really hope to spend some more quality time there in Summer. After that, we took the chance and had an amazing burger in the city centre of Zurich. Sascha picked me up at the airport and showed me around the headquarters and training facilities of his airline. One hour and a half, I touched Swiss ground for the first time in my life. SWISS CS300 – A Solid Flight Preparation is Essential! A nice opportunity to experience the great continental business class product of SWISS! No sooner said than done! We reached out to the marketing department of the airline and not even three weeks later, I sat on seat 01A on flight LX1579 from Vienna to Zurich. After some time, the idea came up, that I could join him in the cockpit one day. Sascha and I have been in contact for quite some time now, since he already published two guest articles about his life as a pilot on my German aviation blog. The result was a state-of-the-art fly-by-wire aircraft, which promised to be l ess noisy and more fuel efficient than any of its short-haul competitors, like the Airbus A319. The CS100 and its longer sister, the CS300, were designed totally from scratch, following a “ clean sheet concept“. ![]() Sascha was one of the first lucky pilots worldwide to fly this beauty! Its successor is the all-new Bombardier C Series from Canada. Over the time, this aircraft was taken out of service at SWISS. This plane was often lovingly called the “jumbolino” due to the fact that it has four engines. Sascha D’Angelo! Sascha joined SWISS some years ago as a first officer on the BAe 146/Avro RJ.

It is certainly not often the case anymore, that a passenger plane leaves me speechless. Especially on larger applications, more maintainable code is achieved by separating HTML markup from JavaScript interaction logic. Whilst it is possible to write JavaScript directly inside the HTML event attributes (such as onclick="this.className =' M圜lass'") this is not recommended behaviour. # Assigning these actions to onclick events: The same regex used above for removing a class can also be used as a check as to whether a particular class exists: if ( document.getElementById("MyElement").className.match(/(?:^|\s)M圜lass(?!\S)/) ) To check if a class is already applied to an element: The g flag tells the replace to repeat as required, in case the class name has been added multiple times. # Ensures there is no non-space character following (?!\S) # Negative lookahead to verify the above is the whole classname M圜lass # The literal text for the classname to remove * Code wrapped for readability - above is all one statement */Īn explanation of this regex is as follows: (?:^|\s) # Match the start of the string or any single whitespace character To remove a single class to an element, without affecting other potential classes, a simple regex replace is required: document.getElementById("MyElement").className =ĭocument.getElementById("MyElement").className.replace To add a class to an element, without removing/affecting existing values, append a space and the new classname, like so: document.getElementById("MyElement").className = " M圜lass" (You can use a space-delimited list to apply multiple classes.) To add an additional class to an element: ![]() To replace all existing classes with one or more new classes, set the className attribute: document.getElementById("MyElement").className = "M圜lass" The standard JavaScript way to select an element is using document.getElementById("Id"), which is what the following examples use - you can of course obtain elements in other ways, and in the right situation may simply use this instead - however, going into detail on this is beyond the scope of the answer.

I have also not had good luck with their heat tech line which is extremely popular. As a result, even though I like the price point I don't buy much from them. ![]() Their pants are also quite short and would probably look a bit off on someone who is not petite. Cashmere sweaters are quite thin and they feel more like merino wool than cashmere. Fabric on shirts is thin/flimsy and lost shape after one wash. I find their jeans and bras to lose shape quickly. For these reasons it is not a great fit for me but may suit someone who prefer colorful prints and cool tone clothes.Įven though Uniqlo is recommended a lot on reddit, personally I have not had good luck with their items. I also find their color palette to suit people with cool skin tone better. Personally I prefer a monochrome/simple neutral look and find their prints to be too busy. Quality is great but can get a bit pricey. That being said, I think their clothes would look amazing on someone who is less curvy. Unfortunately I find their styles to be unflattering on hourglass body shapes and I tend to look very bloated in styles that don't come in at the waist. I would wear 100% COS if only their stuff fits me a bit better. The price point is very reasonable considering the quality. Their fabrics are of very good quality and their styles are minimalist but not boring. Quality is important to me as I like to keep my clothes for quite some time. My favorite go-tos are shirts/blouses, skinny jeans/wide leg pants, blazers, trench coats and flats/loafers on most days. I know many minimalists stick with true basics (t shirt + jeans) but I like to have a bit of design feature that stands out without being too over the top (not a huge fan of excessive lace, frills, leopard prints, neon colors or overly tight clothing). My personal style: I like clothes that are comfortable, made of natural materials and minimalist with a twist. Below is a list of some minimalist brands that I have personally shopped and my honest opinion about them, which may be quite different from what you read online.
