Put in that context, the Pilot was a pretty desirable package. To better appreciate how limited the off-road options were in those days, look no further than the Geo Tracker that finished second in our desert-themed comparison test. For 2x setups, either a side-swing or down-swing front derailleur can be used. The closest thing back in 1989 would have maybe been a V-8–swapped Jeep Wrangler, but even that looks like a Tonka toy compared to the comparatively nuclear 470-hp Wrangler Rubicon 392. ![]() At that time, buying a 450-hp off-road pickup truck like the Ford F-150 Raptor from the factory was unthinkable, let alone the 702-hp monstrosity that is the Ram 1500 TRX.

I believe that the advancement of technology will bring about those necessary breakthroughs which will enable consumers to enjoy the delicious taste of candy while also not having to worry about their health.Īpple. Therefore, in the future, the candy industry must integrate this into its development. So, sweet products are not too popular with parents. Mothers worry that sugar will, among other things, bring tooth decay to children. People are more concerned about the effects of sugar consumption, especially in Asia. The confectionery industry is moving towards health. What do you think the next big thing will be in the confectionery world? I do not get a lot of me-time, but when I do that’s how I like to spend it. My favourite things to do outside of work are to spend time with my family, travel (for leisure!), read books, go shopping, and enjoy great food. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? ![]() When I leave the office, though we’re in such a connected world these days, I always try to dedicate at least 40 minutes to exercise. There are also many documents to look over and approve on a daily basis. And of course, I will listen to a variety of product development ideas, market feedback, and make various decisions. Board meetings, management meetings, sometimes we’ll meet suppliers and important customers, and other times investors. The first thing I do is drive my daughter to school around 7.30am in the morning. Still in my beloved confectionery industry, creating more fun and delicious candy with our talented team. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time? ![]() It really is a cool thing to do something that someone else has not done before. These have been received so positively by consumers all around the world. We created some of the world's first innovative gummy sweets, such as Gummy Blocks, our edible building bricks, and our three-dimensional fruits. But the reception to our 4D Gummy brand is something I hold close to my heart. From a start-up of just four people in 2004 to a family of 700 people today. This year marks the 15th anniversary of Amos Sweets. What is your biggest creative achievement so far? This is often out-of-hours which, unfortunately, means I do not see my daughter as much as I would like to and this makes me feel helpless and unwilling. I relish each day!

Each day is packed with challenges, surprises, and joy, and I have learned such a great deal from them and they have helped me grow so much, too. Working with a group of talented people makes every day quite fulfilling. That feeling of pride and validation is addictive, and that’s what makes it all worthwhile.

Ettl, who oversees Pack Forest, is helping lead UW’s latest experiment to produce maple syrup from these trees. Sap drains through the tubes from clumps of bigleaf maples in Pack Forest, a 4,300-acre experimental forest owned and operated by the UW since the 1920s. “It’s either forest graffiti, or it’s an art project,” said Greg Ettl, a University of Washington forest ecologist. The bright colors contrast with the usual earth tones found in these forested foothills of Mount Rainier.

Recently, its contribution to stand- and species diversity and its commercial potential have been recognized (Peterson 1999). Bigleaf maple was formerly considered a weed. Despite a high rate of seed predation, seedling emergence (Tappeiner and Zasada 1993) and regeneration capacity are excellent. Bigleaf maple sprouts profusely after being cut.

No in situ conservation concerns were identified for this species. 2005Ĭonservation Status Summary – from Chourmouzis et.al. Distribution and Protected Areas – from Hamann et.al. In BC, Bigleaf maple occurs mainly in the CWH zone, where it is common, in the CDF zone, where it is fairly abundant, and the IDF zone, where it is uncommon. The first peoples considered it an excellent fuel and used the wood for carving utensils (Turner 1979).īigleaf maple occurs from Southwestern British Columbia (including Vancouver Island) to California along the coast, i.e., in the central and south of the Pacific region, as well as an area south in the Cordilleran region. The seeds are an important food source for small mammals (Uchytil 1989 Burns and Honkala 1990 Klinka et al. No major pests or diseases are associated with this species. The species is moderately shade tolerant, occurs on coarse, gravelly moist soils, and occasionally occupies newly disturbed sites. Several stems originating from the same stump may form a cluster. Bigleaf maple is a deciduous, broadleaved tree with a broad, rounded crown, up to 30 m tall. And it has an anti-flicker feature ideal for indoor stadia. It’s also good for low-light sports photography. However, it does have a fast shutter speed and a high ISO limit. ![]() It has limited resolution, only 45 focus points (all cross-type), and a slow burst rate. Introduced in June 2017, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II is a full frame camera. You might be interested in checking out our full specs comparison with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV vs R6, the 6D Mark II, or the 5DS R next! This makes it harder to shoot wide-angle footage. However, there is a 1.74x crop when using 4K. And there are ports for an external microphone and headphones. The 5D Mark IV can shoot in either 4K DCI, Full HD, or HD. This means you’ll be limited to Canon’s IS range of lenses. There’s also no sensor-shift image stabilization. There’s no integrated grip, and the camera weighs a lot. Regarding usability and ergonomics, the 5D Mark IV offers a high shutter speed, weather sealing, and a large touch screen. The anti-flicker feature also helps when shooting indoors. This means the autofocus works well in low light. But there are now 61 focus points (41 cross-type) capable of operating at f/8. The autofocus system offers Face Detection AF as usual. The Mark IV also offers a touch screen with a higher resolution, a time-lapse recording feature, and improved high ISO performance. Launched in August 2016, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a full-frame camera brought in to replace the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It also offers webcam functionality and smartphone remote control.

The shutter speed is high enough for any kind of sports photography. And you can shoot using CFexpress Type B memory cards at 16 fps using the viewfinder or at a blazing 20 fps in Live View! Yes, the sensor is small, there’s no in-body image stabilization, and it’s very heavy.īut the other specifications are excellent. Launched in January 2020, the Canon EOS 1D X Mark III is Canon’s flagship, full-frame DSLR camera. The image processor calculates processing, autofocus, and image stabilization as fast as possible. It also helpfully minimizes rolling shutter effects. The sensor’s rapid readout speed allows fast AF acquisition and an insanely high continuous shooting speed. The secret is the combination of the stacked CMOS sensor and DIGIC X image processor. The R3 was designed and built for sports and action photography. It has the fastest shutter speed, highest frame rate, the biggest buffer size, and the best autofocus capability. The Eye Control AF lets you choose your focus point by looking at it through the viewfinder! And the R3 passes every test.

If you are having a difficult time figuring out what you have and how to fix it, please let us help you. Afterward, you will need to reseal the spot that you treated using a marble stone sealer. On calcium based stones, such as marble, removing the rust will leave a dull spot that you will need to correct by using etch remover to replenish the luster. However, it is not a stain, it is a side effect of removing the rust stain from the stone. Some have misinterpreted this as a stain. As previously mentioned, using this rust remover will physically remove the polish from the stone, making the surface look dull. So, if it is used to remove tougher rust stains from marble, the affected area will need to be repolished after the stain is removed. Additionally, this rust remover will remove the polish from marble that has been polished. This rust remover is a corrosive substance and you should avoid contact with metal, wood or ceramics. For complete action, steps 1-3 can be repeated.Leave the rust remover on the stone for at least 1-2 hours.Clean the surface to be treated and make sure it is dry.Simply complete the following steps to remove rust stains form your stone: Some customers have reported achieving excellent results by using the powder and liquid rust removers together for tougher rust stains in stone (Please see the note below if you plan on treating polished marble surfaces with any rust remover product). However, for deeper stains in the stone, some have used the follwoing technique. For rust stains near the surface or on the surface, we recommend using our rust poultice or this liquid rust removal product. It is just a matter of finding the correct rust removal process to draw that stain out. This applies about 98% of the rust stains encountered. By utilizing the stain process reversal technique, the rust stain remover draws the stain out of the stone.Īs a rule of thumb, if a stain goes in, it can come out.

This information is invaluable for drone operators, as it allows them to plan their flights and avoid prohibited areas such as airports, military installations, and national parks. The platform provides real-time updates on airspace restrictions, including temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) and other airspace limitations. For more advanced users, the platform provides specialized guidance on topics like obtaining commercial drone licenses, flying in controlled airspace, and operating drones for specific industries.Īnother crucial aspect of the FAA Drone Zone is its airspace information and interactive maps. ![]() These resources aim to enhance the knowledge and skills of drone operators, ensuring they have a strong foundation in responsible flying practices. Novice pilots can access beginner-level tutorials and courses that cover topics such as drone flight basics, airspace awareness, and safety protocols. Moreover, the FAA Drone Zone offers an extensive collection of educational resources for drone operators of all experience levels. By requiring registration, the FAA can track and identify drone operators, which helps in enforcing safety regulations and holding individuals accountable for their actions. The Drone Zone provides a streamlined process for drone owners to register their aircraft online. Under current regulations, drones weighing between 0.55 and 55 pounds must be registered with the FAA before they can be flown in the United States. One of the key features of the FAA Drone Zone is its registration system. The platform is designed to assist operators in understanding the rules and regulations pertaining to drone operations, thereby reducing the risks associated with irresponsible and unauthorized drone flights. It acts as a one-stop destination for drone pilots to access critical resources, educational materials, and guidance from the FAA.

Last, but not least, the moderation principle states it is important to have rest periods that allow the body to adapt. When choosing your training program, consider body size and shape, genetics, past experience, chronic conditions, injuries and even gender. Well-designed exercise programs should be based on individual differences and responses to exercise. The individual differences principle simply means that, because we all are unique individuals, we will all have different responses to an exercise program. In short, if you don’t use it, you lose it. The reversibility principle states that athletes lose the beneficial effects of training when they stop working out. Training programs include variations in intensity, duration and volume. Minor changes in training regimens yield more consistent gains in sport performance. The third principle is the variation principle. Frequency, intensity and amount of time may need to be changed. The progression principle is adjusting the exercise program to continually improve as a person’s fitness levels increase. If you progressively train harder at each workout, you are using the overload principle. In order to develop fitness in all fitness components (endurance, strength and flexibility) you must gradually subject your muscles to unaccustomed stress. Specific training for winter sports is not available for everyone, though, so the best way to prepare your body before winter is to plan a balanced, overall fitness program that incorporates the principles of conditioning and trains the entire body, says Pandora Bahlman, the manager of fitness, health and wellness at Incline Village’s recreation center.Īccording to “Train This Summer for Winter Sports!,” a newsletter written by Bahlman, there are six principles of conditioning.

The off-season is a time to recover from any injuries that were sustained during the regular season and increase power, strength and speed so that you are ready to dominate when the snow falls. Our bodies are the most important piece of ski equipment we have. But what about the thing that makes the skis go? You and your muscles, joints and psyche. Mother Nature is whispering her annual reminder, “Get ready for snow.” You’ll probably get your skis waxed, you may have even checked airfare or hotel rates for your favorite mountain destination and you finally found that comfortable pair of boots.
