![]() Find the International Transfer Function in Alipay.The transfer process using Alipay to get money out of China can be done by following these simple steps. If you are fortunate enough to be wiring amounts this large back home, you will need to enlist the help of several Chinese friends. Chinese citizens are limited to sending a maximum of $50,000 USD overseas annually.Alipay charges you 50 RMB per transfer and you will also be charged a fee upon receipt by the recipient bank.You are allowed to up two international transfers a day with a maximum total of 60,000 RMB. The maximum amount of money that can be transferred with one wire is 30,000 RMB.So ask a Chinese friend to help you with the transfer (and make sure you trust them!). If you try with your personal account, it will ask you to register a Chinese ID, which you don’t have. Alipay only allows Chinese citizens to send money through the app.There are a number of very important requirements and restrictions that you have to be aware of before you start, though. With Alipay, sending money internationally can be done in just a few steps, that we’ll detail shortly. Requirements & Restrictions | Sending Money with Alipay If you’re still hoping to understand how to send money outside of China using Alipay, this step-by-step tutorial should help. Take this seriously if anything goes wrong, they get in trouble, not you. Failure to follow these laws puts your Chinese friend at risk: As you’ll learn below, as a foreigner you’ll need to get help from a local Chinese friend to use Alipay as a means to get money out of China.This is why it’s such a headache to wire money from a China bank – they require lots of paperwork proof. ![]() You are still subject to China’s laws: These laws stipulate that any Chinese currency leaving China must first have proof that all taxes have been paid on the money.It seems Alipay doesn’t allow transfers from every account, but there’s no clear reason why some work and some don’t. Using Alipay might not work: Reports from various travelers and expats (including those in the comments on this article) show that this isn’t a flawless process.So to be clear, if you’re planning to send money outside China using Alipay, you should understand that: China intentionally makes it difficult to get money out of the country so even these few options aren’t straightforward. There are a number of options for easily sending money into China, but very few that can get money out of China. If you’ve come here thinking that Alipay is going to be a magic bullet, you’re going to be disappointed. There is no easy way to move money out of China. Before we dive too far into this Alipay tutorial, there are a few things I would like to mention.

![]() In the Bar Vend me at the Ritz Paris, individual versions of pastry chef Fran ois Perret's elegant b che will be available from 7 December to 2. ![]() While most cakes are prepared and sold for take-away, there are a few spots to linger over tea and an individual slice of the indulgent Christmas cake. More than the decorated avenues and elaborate window displays, it is the B che de No l (yule log cakes that may or may not be shaped like logs) that takes the lead as the ultimate holiday essential during Christmas in Paris. Dig into the best B che de No l (and other sweet treats) of the season Her chocolatier-p tissier father, Jean-Paul H vin, supplies both the pastries and the decadent hot chocolate worth a special visit. For a sit-down experience, give yourself the gift of chocolatier Jacques Genin's pure and simple hot chocolate, made from whole milk and dark chocolate pistoles, or make a beeline to Caf Pavane, a new tea salon from Manon H vin across from the Luxembourg Gardens. If the lines snake around the block, take it emporter. For the most well-known, head to Angelina on the rue de Rivoli for its thick, decadent Chocolat Chaud Africain that will leave you wondering if they just melted an entire chocolate bar into your cup. Nothing warms up locals and visitors like hot chocolate. The best part? Feeling like you're soaring across Paris with unparalleled views of the Op ra Garnier and the Eiffel Tower in the distance. More intimate in scale is the open-air rooftop rink at Galeries Lafayette, now open until New Year's Eve. After sunset, dance-floor lights and disco balls make their appearance for late-night skates to music. By day, natural light will guide you as you skate across the 32,000-square-foot rink. Visit Christmas markets at Les Halles and Notre DameĪside from the pure joy that ice skating in Paris can bring in the world's largest indoor rink, there's an even better reason to brave the lines for your moment to glide underneath the glass-canopied nave of the Grand Palais: It's the last year you'll be able to skate here for four years, as the museum and event space closes for renovations. at the Christmas market, you'll not only find hundreds of wooden cabins selling small gifts and seasonal treats but a selection of stands run by French artisans, from glass blowers to woodworkers, and designers from the Paris Chamber of Commerce presenting their crafts. It's so striking you'll hardly miss the avenue's former Christmas market, which has been moved down to the Tuileries Gardens through January 5. trees, running from the neon-hued Ferris wheel at the Place de la Concorde up to the Arc de Triomphe, are strung with shimmering LED lights, illuminating the entire avenue in red. Take in twinkle lights on the Champs-Elys esįor the second year, the most storied avenue in the capital has been done up in an eye-catching red hue for its annual holiday light installation. outings and ideas to your to-do list they're some of our favourite ways to celebrate Christmas in Paris, a place that's already pretty magical year-round. If you find yourself in Paris in December, add these 1. ![]() When you're not outside enjoying the festivities, you'll find it indoors at tea salons, restaurants, and pastry shops that are big on Christmas spirit. It's hard to dampen the spirit of Paris at Christmastime the city shines, from the lights along the Champs- lys es to the multi-coloured tree at Galeries Lafayette to some of the most decked-out window displays in the world. Look at the results - it will partition the rows and returns all rows, unlike GROUP BY.Īs of my understanding Partition By is almost identical to Group By, but with the following differences: ![]() We can apply PARTITION BY in our example table: SELECT SUM(Mark) OVER (PARTITION BY id) AS marksum, firstname FROM TableA PARTITION BY will not reduce the number of rows returned. Running totals, or a top N per group results. You can use the OVER clause with functions to computeĪggregated values such as moving averages, cumulative aggregates, A window function then computes a value for each row OVER clause defines a window or user-specified set of rows within a Them up and calculating Sum() for each row.īefore going to PARTITION BY, let us look at the OVER clause: Here GROUP BY normally reduces the number of rows returned by rolling In our real table we have 7 rows and when we apply GROUP BY id, the server group the results based on id: We can apply GROUP BY in our table: select SUM(Mark)marksum,firstname from TableA expression_n,Īggregate_function (aggregate_expression) The aggregate functions to group the result-set by one or more In more simple words GROUP BY statement is used in conjunction with ![]() The SQL GROUP BY clause can be used in a SELECT statement to collectĭata across multiple records and group the results by one or more Consider a table named TableA with the following values: id firstname lastname Mark ![]() The difference between the two goes back to the beehive. Raw vs Processed HoneyĪlthough the distinction between clover vs wildflower honey is important, a more critical factor in choosing your honey will be if it’s raw vs if it’s processed. ![]() However, it’s important to note that the anti-allergenic property is only found in the honey’s raw form. Because many seasonal allergies come from the pollen of flowering plants, wildflower honey acts as a natural mini-immunization by allowing the body to contact the pollen in small doses at a time. One benefit that won’t depend on the flowers is the anti-allergenic property of wildflower honey. For example, if the bees are collecting from purple coneflower nectar, the honey will have an immune system boosting property. If the beekeeper is knowledgeable enough, they will tell you what plants the bees are likely collecting from and the subsequent health benefits. ![]() The health benefits of wildflower honey also depend on location and season. ![]() It also can be distinguished by its darker color. Wildflower honey changes in taste and texture depending on the nectar source but is generally stronger in flavor than clover honey. Moreover, these differences will be exacerbated from region to region and season to season.Īlthough largely dependent on the region of the world and the type of bee, common wildflowers include: poppy, bee balm, bellflower, baby blue eyes, lady’s bedstraw, blackeyed Susan, and purple coneflower (echinacea). Then, the bees collect nectar from various nearby wildflowers.īecause of this, each vat of wildflower honey will be tremendously unique from another. In this method of honey production, beekeepers place their hives close to an undeveloped land area. As its name suggests, wildflower honey comes from wildflowers – flowers of plants that generally grow in the wild without deliberate cultivation. Wildflower honey, on the other hand, is much different. This component can help soothe sore throats and suppress coughs. This honey, when in its raw form, also contains antibacterial properties. These antioxidants can help improve heart health, protect the central nervous system, regulate blood pressure, lower bad cholesterol, and neutralize free radicals. Where it packs a punch, however, is in its antioxidant properties. Although clover honey doesn’t have a lot of vitamin or mineral content, it does have small amounts of vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. This type of honey usually comes in a light, amber color and has a sweet and mild taste. Over 50 percent of the nectar must be sourced from the clover plant to be distinguished as clover honey. Place beehives around the field and extract clover honey.īecause of this, clover honey is the most easily found honey in today’s markets.Harvest and sell the clover for livestock feed since it is highly palatable and nutritious.Not only does clover provide those benefits, but it can also make the farmer money in the process. Farmers will grow a field of clover between planting seasons to reduce soil erosion, reduce invasive weed introduction, and fix nitrogen in the soil for the following crop. Clover Honey is the most common type of honey in the market because of the plant’s widespread use in agriculture. This turned out to be prescient: One platform's survey in the first quarter of this year indicated that 20 percent of existing customers would stop patronizing their site rather than undergo the kind of age verification required by these new state laws. Over a decade and a half ago, pornographers were bemoaning the fact that tighter age verification would require consumers to turn over more identification than they were likely to be comfortable with. And, after OnlyFans' porn ban flip-flop in 2021, I imagine many larger platforms that allow sexual content alongside G-rated stuff may be considering banning eroticism entirely. Handling both the implementation of age verification procedures and the questions of consumers will simply require more labor than these small companies may be able to afford. They take extra care for the well-being of both cast and crew and often for the consumer as well-from asking about dietary restrictions for catering to considering how content choices impact viewers. While ethics vary across and between groups, in pornography and outside of it, companies that label themselves ethical are often genuinely concerned with developing a standard set of ethics. What will be lost are the smaller "ethical porn" companies. Larger production companies and tube sites are already based overseas or have the capacity to move to countries that are unlikely to cooperate with U.S. ![]() Since verification must be done well before a website viewer becomes a customer, it's as though a brick-and-mortar clothing shop had to pay a dollar every time someone looked in the window. The age verification procedures required by new laws will be far more expensive and time-intensive. One web developer recalls being tasked with "pixelating" a body part on Vivid's homepage after the company put up a billboard in Times Square: "The difference between nipple and not-nipple was the exact placement of a few shades of color in a 2-3 pixel grid." No matter how minimal, the nipple had to be nixed ahead of that large of a promotion. The sites usually displayed minimal previews on the front page and kept most of the explicit stuff behind a paywall. Before the advent of free tube sites-platforms for user-uploaded videos-it was standard practice for California-based studios with their own pay sites to require users to state they were 18 or older and allowed to view the content in their location. Pornographers were searching for suitable age verification methods long before lawmakers decided to impose them. Some cited fears of retaliation, while others expressed reluctance to go on the record during a time of immense industry upheaval. Most of my adult industry colleagues, including legal representatives of studios, declined to be named or to speak at all for this piece. ![]() ![]() Other countries, including Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, have also developed legal requirements for consumer age verification. Similar laws followed in Utah, Mississippi, Arkansas, Virginia, Montana, and Texas. The act features phrases familiar to those of us who work with sexuality, such as "prurient interest" and "lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." These phrases are vague and subjective, as is the language describing which age verification mechanisms are acceptable to the state. This legislative trend started in 2022 with Louisiana's Act 440, which requires websites containing more than 33.3 percent "material harmful to minors" to engage in age verification processes for each site user. But a wave of laws requiring specific forms of age verification for viewers of websites that depict or discuss sexuality is threatening to wipe out small studios and solo self-producers. For the first time in history, performers have the bulk of power in the porn industry. ![]() Maybe he killed Miranda? Either that or she drowned and is out in the lake somewhere. We never find out if there is anything inside of it. Tom quickly redirects his focus, concealing the metal container from view. ![]() He’s about to open a metal container out there that is maybe hiding a body when Paul approaches. When Tom finds Wendy sneaking around and duct tapes her, he knows the jig is up and rushes outside to check something in his truck’s bed. It could have just been one of his gross videos. My reason for thinking this is that Wendy initially grows suspicious of Tom when she sees him coming out of a room labeled “Authorized Personnel Only,” and it sounds like a woman is whimpering on the other side. My only theory is that Tom might have found her and taken her. Miranda seemingly also falls overboard and is never seen again. The two men fall overboard, and Paul winds up stabbing Eric to death. He tries to take the gun from her, and Paul leaps to stop him. Ultimately they come to blows with Wendy pulling a gun on Eric. Wendy even tricks them into accompanying them on a lake search in a fishing boat. Miranda and Eric end up on the unfortunate receiving end of the Michaelson’s fury after the couple accuses them of kidnapping Taylor. What happened to Miranda Hudson?Īnother frustrating question left unanswered by The Vanished ending is that we never find out what happened to Miranda Hudson. I’m guessing that the “camper” in the woods was part of the ring because one of the police officers mentions that they still don’t know who the “leader” of the ring was. Of course, it turns out to be a red herring as Taylor wasn’t kidnapped. Hickman) is part of an underground child pornography ring. I have a theory.īefore we find out what really happened to Taylor, Wendy discovers the campground owner Tom (John D. The Vanished ending doesn’t even explain what the guy was doing out there. The sound effects, according to Netflix, are of a “woman whimpering.” So it indicates that this man is kidnapping or hurting a woman or young girl. He was just a random survivalist who likes to go to the woods periodically to live off the land.īut before we the confrontation in the woods, we get a quick scene of this guy doing something violent in the woods. Later, Paul and Wendy find out that the guy wasn’t the convict after all. But he suddenly jerks awake, causing Wendy to fire the gun, killing him instantly. Wendy tries to take the gun so they can threaten the man to tell them where Taylor is, believing he might have kidnapped her. They happen to stumble upon a sleeping camper with a gun next to him and assume that he is the convict. They’ve been made aware that a convict escaped from a local prison and roamed in the woods. Shortly after Taylor first goes missing, Wendy and Paul traipse into the nearby woods to search for her for themselves. Surely someone would have seen and tipped him off especially if the Michaelsons are known for doing this repeatedly. Why wouldn’t the brother have gotten in touch with them earlier, or why wouldn’t they have reached out to family members? They did a press conference on television. So then he has his deputy (Facinelli) reach out to Paul’s brother to confirm. The reveal happens when Sheriff Baker (Jason Patric) notices an old photo of Wendy pregnant when the two towers will standing in New York City. ![]() This isn’t the first time they’ve panicked about her “disappearing” either, although usually, it doesn’t end with such disastrous results. Paul and Wendy have a shared psychosis called folie à deux that causes them to imagine Taylor is still alive. It turns out that Taylor was never there at all. On Thanksgiving weekend, the pair drive their RV to a campground and intend to spend the time with their daughter.īut during a small window of time when Wendy is at the store, and Paul is distracted by their sexy campground neighbor Miranda, Taylor seemingly vanishes into thin air. The central plot of the film revolves around parents Paul and Wendy Michaelson losing their 10-year-old daughter Taylor.
![]() This is despicable behavior from a supposed security company who is supposed to be trustworthy. When I said no, I don't want to agree to it in the first place, THEY HUNG UP! I called back, got the exact same response from a different agent, they also hung up instead of explaining! So, I called their customer service, which is not an easy phone number to find, and their answer was that I could simply cancel before the year was up. BUT, when the page sent me to PayPal I was told in the fine print that I was allowing them to deduct a yearly charge, with no way of opting out! Thank goodness I re-read the terms on the PayPal page, I wonder how many people don't? So I un-clicked the box, and the agreement under the Submit button switched to where I was no longer agreeing to the yearly charge. The page automatically selects the yearly renewal, where you must physically cancel to stop them from a yearly re-charge of the full $24.99. I went in to purchase the 30% off, 1-year subscription.

Some domestic systems are introduced without additional filters – since drinkable water is already filtered at the water treatment plant.Īlmost all greenhouse equipment companies suggest that filters be used in a system. New technologies are now being introduced that reduce clogging. Most greenhouse irrigation systems use filters to prevent clogging of the small emitter flow trail by small waterborne particles. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider installing a Greenhouse Irrigation System. Benefits of Greenhouse Irrigation System?Īll modern irrigation systems are useful in different ways, depending on how you use them. You need to understand how all the available systems work, and it is best to involve experts to guide through the selection and set-up process. However, you will need experts to install and design the best Greenhouse designed especially for your crops, soil and weather conditions.Ĭhoosing the best Irrigation System for your greenhouse or polyhouse is not as easy as it sounds. It is more efficient than other types of irrigation systems, such as surface irrigation or sprinkler irrigation, depending on how well the system is outlined, placed, maintained, and operated.Ī Greenhouse Irrigation System is one of the most efficient ways of farming in this modern age and has proven to produce quality yields within a very short time. ![]() It dispenses water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. The objective of a Greenhouse Irrigation System is to deliver optimum water and nutrient levels directly into the root zone and reduce wastage and evaporation. It preserves water and nutrients by letting water drip gradually to the roots of plants, via a pipeline installed either just above the soil surface or hidden below the surface. Unfortunately, it has a ton of dead ends that makes it difficult to navigate.A Greenhouse Irrigation System is a type of micro-irrigation system. The optimal trellis layout uses 6 iridium sprinkers, just like the standard layout. Trellis crops, like hops and green beans, cannot be walked through so a different design is required. If you somehow unlocked the greenhouse and don't have access to 6 iridium sprinklers, 16 quality sprinkers can be used at the cost of 10 plants: The following grid was taken from the official wiki: Once the trees are fully grown (after 28 days), you can go nuts and put whatever you'd like near the adult trees. ![]() This means you'll need to plant the trees before the sprinklers are added to the edges of the greenhouse soil. The fruit tree part of the layout requires a little bit of planning because the trees only grow when the adjacent spaces are empty. The perfect greenhouse layout can handle 18 fruit trees and 116 plants, using 6 iridium sprinklers. ![]() A challenge to a book may be resolved in favor of retaining the book in the collection, or it can result in a book being restricted or withdrawn from the library.ĪLA documented 1,269 demands to censor library books and resources in 2022, the highest number of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago.

If this isn't your first baby, you should be offered a membrane sweep at your 41-week antenatal appointment. ![]() Some midwives will offer a membrane sweep every 72 hours (three days). If you're a first-time mum, you should be offered a membrane sweep at your antenatal appointments at 40 weeks and again at 41 weeks. You may experience some slight spotting of blood, cramps or irregular contractions immediately afterwards. If you've been practising breathing techniques ready for labour, you may find they help you to relax while your midwife is carrying out the sweep. If your waters have broken but labour hasn't started, membrane sweeps are not recommended as, in these circumstances, they can increase your risk of infection.Ī membrane sweep can be uncomfortable, as the cervix is often difficult to reach before your labour begins. Rest assured that a membrane sweep won't increase the risk of infection for you or your baby, as long as your waters haven’t broken. It has a higher chance of working if your cervix is already softening and preparing for labour. ![]() If your cervix then starts to soften and open, your midwife may be able to do a proper sweep at your next appointment.Ī membrane sweep increases the likelihood that labour will start naturally within 48 hours. This stimulation may be enough to start the ripening of your cervix. The procedure may also be called a stretch and sweep, because if a sweep isn't possible, your midwife may still try to stretch or massage your cervix. |
