And her who crowned Braganza the worthy and the wise, And Canada we welcome the loyal and the free, And thee, O great republic, with rule from sea to sea, Who bravedst for our lost ones the fatal frozen main, Thou who hast fed our famished and wept above our slain. And them who claim the treasures erewhile Pizarro's prize. Come ye, aflame with jewels, and each with veilèd face Whence bright eyes beam upon us like stars from cloud-swept space, We wonder o'er the labours your slender hands have done In ancient Asian cities, brown daughters of the sun! And thou who once wast Pharoah's, and thou whose palm-thatched kraals For centuries made marvel of bold De Gama's sails, And all that dwell betwixt you, whate'er your race and name, Who seek our shores in kindness, we thank you that you came. ![]() Welcome, O fair five Sisters unto your Sister's side! Greet we this day together them who come from far and wide. Nor gifts like to theirs have lain At the feet of Wisdom's favoured one, when the Princes came from far, And the swarthy Queen to the Great Sea steered by the light of the still pole star. Oh, never a Roman triumph, nor court of mightiest Suzerain Hath gathered such as have sailed to her. For the nations she bade with friendly voice have hearkened to her behest, And treasure-laden, o'er land and sea, comes many an honoured guest, Daughters of cultured Europe, deigning her day to grace, Children of antique Asia, Africa's dusky race, America's mighty offspring and they of Australia's line, And they of the Thousands Islands set where Pacific waters shine. Ceased is the sound of the chisel, and hushed is the hammer's ring, And the echoes that haunted the empty halls for a while have taken wing And the doors are open, and overhead are a thousand flags unfurled, While with music and song to the House she has built Victoria welcomes the world. Aspirations for the future of Australia, that she may be happy, a generous friend, but, if need be, a formidable enemy.

![]() ![]() Remember to back up any files you wish to keep before deleting the app! This will delete all the saved information and ensure your app stays lean and minimises memory usage. If you are a storage sensitive OzRunways user, it is best to plan to delete and reinstall the app every 6 or 12 months to coincide with the ASA map changeovers. ![]() The app will grow in storage size as route, saved tracks and aircraft profiles are added. Again, adding things like terrain files and Street Address Search will grow the app substantially. The files downloaded in this configuration are the Hybrid VFR Chart (WAC, VNC, VTC, Inset combined), ERSA, PCA, AIP SUP and AIC, and AIP.Īn IFR setup, consisting of all ERC and TAC charts, DAPS, CAR, CAA, CASR's plus the previously mentioned VFR items come to a total of 1.8GB. Testing shows that OzRunways set up for VFR flight in Australia with only the essential files weighs in at 1.1GB. Realistically, modern iPads of less than 64GB storage are not a great idea. We strongly recommend getting the 32GB model as the absolute minimum, however it is best to get the biggest storage size your budget allows. So while a 16GB model will get you over the line, we don't recommend a 16GB model as memory management will be a pain. OzRunways requires between 5-15GB of storage space depending on what you install for Australia (New Zealand slightly smaller). The best combination is a Cellular model iPad and a data plan or pre-paid data sim. You can get data via hotspot from an iPhone, but setting that up can be fiddly and it won't give you a GPS position. NOTAMs, Met, Radar and Traffic all require a data connection. What other benefits does a cellular iPad give me?Ī lot of the features of OzRunways rely on a cellular data connection. Best bet if you want GPS and the full OzRunways experience is to just spend the little bit extra and get the 'Wi-Fi + Cellular' version. You also won't have access to the internet driven features unless you mess around connecting the iPad to your iPhones internet. If you do choose to purchase a Wi-Fi only version of the iPad, OzRunways will work but you won't get all the awesome GPS functionality unless you buy an external GPS for around $120. Please, do not purchase a Wi-Fi only device expecting a phone to provide GPS position to the iPad, as this does not work. NOTE: Hotspot from another iOS device will NOT provide your Wi-Fi only iPad with a GPS position, except intermittently. ** The Wi-Fi only versions of the iPad do not have GPS. The GPS is integrated with the cellular (3G/4G) chip, so yes: you should get the Cellular version, even if you never put a SIM card in there because it has GPS. OzRunways requires a GPS to see your position on the maps. Do I need the 3G/4G ('Wi-Fi + Cellular') version of the iPad I want to buy?Įssentially, yes. Was the art meant to speak for itself or was there some discernible narrative in the hecticness of all the colorful rooms?Īs it turns out, the four floors of installations are indeed linked through a backstory -a tale of dirty politicians, the disappearance of four women, a life-altering cosmic event called “the Convergence” and the collecting and trading of memories. Perhaps the most confusing of all was the underlying storyline of the exhibit. It is possible that features such as these were unlocked by purchasing the add-ons, but the fact that this was unclear demonstrates poor communication. One might easily get stuck waiting in a line meant for purchasing additional features, thinking it is the line to the exhibit.įurthermore, there were several seemingly interactive installations that were, in fact, not interactive at all-telephones that would not call, despite phone numbers being displayed nearby screens that would not change when prompted. For example, upon entering the building, it is unclear where to go in order to start the experience. Yet, there were many parts of the exhibit that were confusing. With such a hefty price tag, is Convergence Station worth it? There is no denying that the exhibition makes for a fun and interesting night out-especially for date night, as the museum-like activity allows you to get to know one another while falling back on the art itself when the conversation runs dry. Unfortunately for out-of-state students, you can only receive the state resident price if your billing address is in Colorado-not just your shipping address. Prices are $45 for general admission $40 for children, military and seniors and $35 for Colorado residents. The Denver exhibit’s impressive ticket sales speak to Meow Wolf’s celebrity: 35,000 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours. The unique textures and ethereal lighting are limitless, with every room leading to a sensory surprise.Īfter four years of construction and installation, Convergence Station is located in a 90,000-square-foot building off of Interstate 25, with four stories to display the work of 110 Colorado artists and more than 90 others from around the country. Imagine hidden rooms to explore, walls camouflaged by galleries of masks and faces, otherworldly creatures hanging from the ceiling, all presented through the lens of a “quantum travel” themed narrative. 17.Īs an interactive art exhibit, Meow Wolf’s Convergence Station is rather hard to explain. Denver’s permanent location, called Convergence Station, opened Sept. The company’s first permanent exhibition opened in Santa Fe, N.M., in 2016, followed by a Las Vegas establishment earlier this year. Meow Wolf is a New Mexico-based arts and entertainment company known for its extremely popular immersive and transportive art exhibits. From a hall of mirrors to self-playing instruments to an extraterrestrial rainforest, the Mile High City’s newest interactive art exhibition is sure to keep your head spinning from the second you enter its psychedelic world to the moment you leave. The Denver location will be filled with new experiences and a will feature a new story, sure to appeal to those that have visited other locations, as well as those that are experiencing Meow Wolf for the first time.There are two words that best describe Denver’s new Meow Wolf exhibit : sensory overload. If one pays attention, the story of the family that 'lived there' slowly comes together and one can discover what may have 'happened' at the home. Meanwhile, as guests wander, they can attempt to solve a mystery by utilizing clues scattered around the house. Peculiarities are abundant – for example, to access one room, visitors walk through a refrigerator. Having been to their Santa Fe exhibit, here's how this writer would describe it: It's like a movie set, consisting of a house covered in bizarre decor and immersive experiences. ![]() They've won many awards and were recognized on Fast Money's 2020 list of 'The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies'. ![]() Meow Wolf is a Santa Fe-based arts and entertainment company that specializes in creating immersive exhibits that invite visitors to explore their surroundings.

![]() ![]() Another great advantage of Sweet autumn clematis is that it grows rapidly and can quickly become relatively large. This plant is beloved for its highly fragranced, light-colored blooms that contrast with its many small vivid, green leaves. In fact, it’s also one of the faster-growing types of clematis, which makes it a great addition to a beginner’s garden. Pruning now can help promote luscious new growth, a multitude of flowers, and long-lasting blooms.Ī vibrant member of the Ranunculaceae, Sweet autumn clematis is a hardier variety than most other Sweet autumn clematis. However, in some cases it also helps to prune back about 30% of Sweet autumn clematis’s branches before the blooming season but after new growth appears. Pruning after the blooming season by about 50% is a great way to help the plant go back into dormancy, so that it can recuperate and prepare for its big debut the following year. ![]() These are your key branches, and they support the Sweet autumn clematis, going into dormancy during the cold months and sprouting new branches that will bear flowers when the weather warms up for the growing season. Avoid cutting back any branches that are well-established and have bark on them, with little to no green stem showing through. The amount of branches to cut back depends on how much you’d like to get rid of, but the more aggressive pruning, the more growth will appear the next year. Prune back these smaller branches to the base of the intersection where the smaller branch meets the larger one using a straight cut through the smaller branch, but be careful not to cut into the larger branch, if it’s already growing bark. Once you’ve removed the decrepit branches, you can begin trimming away the smaller offshoots that aren’t woody or established. Getting rid of these parts of the plant helps to keep things clean and tidy, and also relieves the plant of having to hang onto and pump energy and nutrients into branches that won’t survive much longer. How to Prune To prune Sweet autumn clematis, first remove any dead wood or wilting stems that look unhealthy. Try to consider your surroundings, as well. It’s easy to catch a leaf or a splinter on its way down, so keeping these things in mind, you can make your best judgment on which protective tools you feel are necessary. ![]() For your own protection, a basic pair of gardening gloves and any sort of eye protection for trimming above your head are perfect. Bypass shears and hand pruners are great for this task, but if there are some branches higher up that you can’t reach safely using a ladder, then loppers can come in handy. To cut through these quickly and effectively, you’ll need a brawny set of plant shears meant for trimming branches and brush. Being a rather woody plant, Sweet autumn clematis stems are particularly thick and tough. Tools A few basic tools are all you need to get started. However, with proper pruning, your Sweet autumn clematis will continue to bloom well year after year. You may not see an abundance of flowers for several growing seasons. Pruning without a plan by cutting back key branches can set back the Sweet autumn clematis for a few years, and even stunt its growth permanently. Before you go clipping away at your Sweet autumn clematis, there are a few things you should know about how to do it properly. ![]() Some of the core features of Standard Notes include: Standard Notes offers a range of features to help users organize and manage their notes, ideas, and other information.

This is a novel about the ways we live in close proximity, yet experience entirely different realities about what it means to be a single part of a larger chain of being. In this novel, too, readers will see a community in the early stages of what will become a whaling empire in hearing from voices they don't normally hear from, they will perhaps reconsider the consequences of white settlement on Nantucket, of Quaker life, of 18th century whaling. ![]() In allowing readers to trace Phoebe's journey through these various characters, this book explores lives that are often marginalized in literature, especially in novels that concern American whaling communities (consider Moby Dick: the story of a white man chasing a white whale). ![]() In the course of this chapter, Love's sister Phoebe goes missing, and the chapters that follow chart what happens to Phoebe through a variety of perspectives and voices: a young sheep on the island, a Wampanoag woman named Dorcas Never, a baby sperm whale and her herd, and a band of mermaids living in a sea cave.

Yelp also grew revenue 40 percent from the previous year, but to get there, it also discounted non-cash costs such as share-based compensation for its employees. Yelp investors got a shot in the arm in the third quarter of 2015 as the company posted net revenue of $143.6 million, beating Wall Street expectations of $141.42 million.

But all those gains have since been erased, and then some. Somewhere in the murky middle lies Yelp, a company that still inspires visions of a comeback for those who remember its stock run higher by 300 percent between March 2012 and March 2014. Since then, it's been a mixed affair: LinkedIn's stock price has doubled - before Thursday's disastrous earnings report that knocked more than 25 percent off LNKD stock's price - while Groupon's drop of nearly 90 percent has been enough to make a sinking battleship jealous. ![]() But at the time, companies such as LinkedIn (LNKD) and Groupon (GRPN) created a social media IPO feeding frenzy. By comparison, Facebook (FB) stock has nearly tripled over the same period.Įven at IPO time, market observers cautioned that Yelp had just suffered two consecutive years of net losses. ![]() Since it launched, Yelp stock is down more than 20 percent.
