Currently, 62 percent of Americans worry that a lack of knowledge is causing them to recycle incorrectly and 25 percent of all recycling is contaminated often due to consumer misunderstanding about how to sort recyclables. Recycle Rally is active in more than 6,000 K-12 schools, providing the funding and resources crucial to addressing the gap in recycling education in the U.S. “We plan to invest the $50,000 we won through the program in new green initiatives and we are currently looking into an aquaponics system to create fertilizer out of fish waste and a van to support beach cleanups in the community.” “We’re thrilled to be one of this year’s Recycle Rally winners, but the most exciting thing about Recycle Rally is how it enables sustainable change for the long-term,” says Paul Perea, teacher and Recycle Rally leader at Arnold Elementary. Many people have become aware that we are able to provide trucks very quickly, but when they find out that we pass our volume pricing on to the end user, it makes dealing with Ready Truck a no-brainer," he says. "We are one of the largest chassis purchasers in the United States. Customers needing product right now are encouraged to choose from our wide assortment of configured vehicles ready to ship," Angel says.īeyond the quick delivery times, Angel says Ready Truck's volume purchasing can help save their customers money as well. "With vehicles always in production at the factory, we are able to modify a build, but delivery is then based on standard factory throughput. "If the configuration of the stock truck meets the customer requirement, they can ship almost immediately."įor customers in immediate need of a vehicle with specifications not reflected in their stock inventory, Ready Truck has options, according to the company. We've been doing this for so long, we are able to anticipate the needs of our customers, and work extremely hard to ensure that we have the most popular configurations in stock and ready to roll," he says. "We always have 25 to 30 completed trucks on the ground and ready for delivery. The Heil Ready Truck Program enables us to deliver the trucks our customers need, when and where they need them,” Larry Angel, general manager of Ready Truck, says.Īccording to Angel, Ready Truck has an array of completed garbage trucks in stock and ready for delivery. If they aren't able to get a truck on the route within a short period of time, the impact to their bottom line can be substantial. If you have a new contract, or have lost a truck due to an accident or fire, patience just isn't an option. "Waste haulers, whether private, public or municipal, don't have the luxury of waiting months for a truck. Heil, Chattanooga, Tennessee, announces its Ready Truck Program has been designed to help operators alleviate issues that can be caused by delays in the production and delivery of new garbage trucks. Waste Management provides service to residents and businesses in approximately 60 percent of the city. The new fleet and enhanced services are the result of a new contract between Seattle Public Utilities and Waste Management.

RNG begins as a biogas when garbage decays inside landfills. RNG is better for the environment because it is not a fossil fuel and it generates lower emissions than other fuel alternatives-70 percent lower than traditional diesel and 65 percent lower than compressed natural gas (CNG).

As music subscription services use podcasts to morph into audio companies, some fraction of record labels’ and music publishers’ growth will depend on podcasts’ ability to lure and retain subscribers. Any new subscriber Rogan - or Michelle Obama, who announced her first Spotify podcast on Thursday, (July 16) - attracts will result in incremental royalties for music rights holders. The Rogan deal represents a non-threatening power shift for music companies. Spotify need not change its primary goals of getting more subscribers and reducing churn. (Of course, Spotify must accurately isolate Rogan’s effect on its already-strong growth.) This isn’t a move to generate more advertising (see below) this is - or should be - an effort to gain loyal customers. Joe Rogan Inks Exclusive Multiyear Podcast Deal With Spotifyīy Billboard’s rough estimate, the Rogan deal pays off if he - and he alone - attracts 1.2 million to 1.7 million subscribers with a low churn rate, high ARPU (average revenue per user) and average gross margin. But $100 million isn’t obscene for a fast-growing company that had about $7.4 billion of revenue last year and expects between $8.4 billion and $8.8 billion this year. But Spotify can use its global presence to help Rogan gain international fans.Īt first blush, nine figures seems like a ridiculous sum for a single podcast without ownership. Los Angeles-based Rogan already has an audience outside of the U.S. Record labels and music publishers benefit when podcasts help attract and retain subscribers.ģ. Spotify’s licensing deal with the Joe Rogan Experience podcast for a reported $100 million can pay for itself by attracting fewer than 2 million subscribers.Ģ. 1 on Stitcher’s list of top podcasts.)

Podcasting has become an arms race as major streaming and broadcast companies acquire companies and launch partnerships with celebrities for original programming. Brandir l’accusation infamante d’antisémitisme dès que l’on émet une critique à l’égard du gouvernement israélien a pour fonction de protéger ce dernier. Lorsque l’on critique la politique de Poutine on n’est pas accusé de faire du racisme anti-russes. israéliennes, des personnalités comme Abraham Burg, des journalistes comme Gideon Lévy sont antisémites. Mais cela n’a rien à voir avec la critique de l’action du gouvernement israélien ou alors des O.N.G.

Le fait d’être ivre de puissance et d’être seul à l’avoir, si vous n’êtes pas très cultivé, enfant d’une longue histoire et grande pratique, vous allez toujours croire que vous pouvez imposer votre vision. Et la force peut détruire, elle ne peut jamais rien construire, surtout pas la paix. Villepin (Paris, 2001) Pourquoi accepterions-nous une troisième guerre mondiale à cause de ces gens là? Daniel Bernard (ambassadeur de France, après avoir qualifié Israël de « petit pays de merde », Londres, décembre 2001) Les Israéliens se sont surarmés et en faisant cela, ils font la même faute que les Américains, celle de ne pas avoir compris les leçons de la deuxième guerre mondiale, car il n’y a jamais rien de bon à attendre d’une guerre. Cette région a toujours rejeté les corps étrangers. Chirac (accueillant Barak à Paris, 2000) La situation est tragique mais les forces en présence au Moyen-Orient font qu’au long terme, Israël, comme autrefois les Royaumes francs, finira par disparaître.

For her role in an as-yet-unspecified crime, Cindra – 16 as the novel opens – is offered the opportunity to forego the prison system for a camp in Montana. If you'd like to get a jump start on the game, you can now dive right into your new life in Disney City Girl on Facebook.Early on in Bill Roorbach’s novel “Lucky Turtle,” narrator and protagonist Cindra Zoeller takes the reader through the circumstances in which she found herself in 1997. Then, the struggle to earn building materials for appliances and furniture will lessen, and we'll actually be able to make progress in our careers. There's a lot of polish to the experience here, and we're sure that the game will become even better still once more people actually start playing. You can use your own energy at her pad after your daily visit bonus energy runs out, but hopefully, Disney will do enough in the way of cross-promotion to eliminate the need to add strangers to actually make progress without spending money.ĭisney City Girl offers crisp, vibrant graphics and an upbeat/modern soundtrack, and some of the character animations are quite good - like your character trying to find her balance why rolling on an exercise ball, for instance. As it stands, you'll have the game's computer character Jenna to keep you company. Money quickly depletes as you purchase new clothing items for your avatar or items for your home, and until the game's user base starts to grow, there's very little in the way of social opportunities available for your character. That's a decent amount of time, and it allows for players to get "hooked" on the game, but the more time they actually spend playing, the less there is to do. You can play for about 45 minutes before hitting a pay wall in Disney City Girl, as you're left to either ask your friends for materials or pay Gold to advance instantly. Still, with the promise of larger, swankier pads in the future (which are unlocked by advancing in your career), there's definitely incentive to keep going. It's cramped quarters early on that limit the fun that can be had by purchasing furniture items in the first place. The starter home has no technical kitchen, so your refrigerator will end up in the living room, the exercise room becomes the bedroom and so on. Unfortunately, your starter home is microscopic in the grand scheme of things, as the game quickly asks you to purchase appliances, furniture, electronics and more. As you go along, some of these jobs can take hours to cool down between shifts, leaving you to go shopping or work on your home's design while you wait. These jobs can technically be completed instantly, but there's a cooldown timer between each shift that must elapse before you can earn additional paychecks or mastery points. In the Chef career, for instance, you'll work from the very bottom as a dishwasher and eventually become a talented chef, all by completing jobs that can be mastered with repeated attempts. The Fashion Designer and Chef careers are unlocked from the beginning, and they'll introduce new characters with appropriate storylines, depending on your choice. You'll spend some of your limited (but rechargeable) energy to interact with all major items, so you can quickly run out of energy if you let those needs drop into the red zone all at once.Īll characters will be given the opportunity to enter the work force, but there are thankfully multiple careers to choose from, with more being promised for future updates. Like the Sims, your character's fundamental needs like hygiene, hunger and rest must be accounted for at all times, and you'll use items like beds, coffee makers, microwaves, bathtubs and much more to keep those needs filled. As it stands, hair color and style are the two biggest ways to make your avatar stand out from the thousands of others that will eventually be created in the game, so hopefully Disney increases the game's customization options in the future.Īfter the initial character creation process, the game kicks into high gear, as you're introduced to your avatar's needs system, career, home design opportunities and more. Hair and makeup design is also allowed, but there unfortunately aren't any true accessories like glasses or earrings to make avatars really stand apart. Aimed specifically at the female audience, Disney City Girl focuses as much on fashion as it does home design, as characters will guide you through life in bustling New York City via a continuous storyline of quests.įrom the beginning, aspiring fashionistas will be allowed to dress their avatar in both casual and high end fashions. After growing up and going to college in a small town, it's time for country girls (and perhaps boys) to move to the big city in Disney City Girl on Facebook, a new life simulation game that feels a lot like the Sims, but is way more girly. exe file to run the game.ĭespite the lack of a GUI, the emulator supports many features, including save states, rewind, screen filters, cheat codes, screenshots and video recording, hotkey remapping, controller connectivity, and netplay. cue file from the ROM folder onto the emulator's.

Seventeen years later, Gandalf tells Frodo that he has confirmed that the Ring is the one lost by the Dark Lord Sauron long ago and counsels him to take it away from the Shire. Neither hobbit is aware of the Ring's origin, but the wizard Gandalf suspects it is a Ring of Power. Gandalf proves that Frodo's Ring is the One Ring by throwing it into Frodo's fireplace, revealing the hidden text of the Rhyme of the Rings.īilbo celebrates his eleventy-first (111th) birthday and leaves the Shire suddenly, passing the Ring to Frodo Baggins, his cousin and heir. It has been named Britain's best-loved novel of all time in the BBC's 2003 poll The Big Read. It has helped to create and shape the modern fantasy genre, within which it is considered one of the greatest books of all time.Īward-winning adaptations of The Lord of the Rings have been made for radio, theatre, and film. It has inspired many derivative works, including paintings, music, films, television, video games, and board games. Its enduring popularity has led to numerous references in popular culture, the founding of many societies by fans of Tolkien's works, and the publication of many books about Tolkien and his works. The Lord of the Rings has since been reprinted many times and translated into at least 38 languages. Influences on this earlier work, and on the story of The Lord of the Rings, include philology, mythology, Christianity, earlier fantasy works, and his own experiences in the First World War. Tolkien's work, after an initially mixed reception by the literary establishment, has been the subject of extensive analysis of its themes and origins. Some later editions print the entire work in a single volume, following the author's original intent. The work is divided internally into six books, two per volume, with several appendices of background material. For economic reasons, The Lord of the Rings was published over the course of a year from 29 July 1954 to 20 October 1955 in three volumes titled The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. From homely beginnings in the Shire, a hobbit land reminiscent of the English countryside, the story ranges across Middle-earth, following the quest to destroy the One Ring mainly through the eyes of the hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin.Īlthough often called a trilogy, the work was intended by Tolkien to be one volume of a two-volume set along with The Silmarillion. The title refers to the story's main antagonist, the Dark Lord Sauron, who, in an earlier age, created the One Ring to rule the other Rings of Power given to Men, Dwarves, and Elves, in his campaign to conquer all of Middle-earth. Written in stages between 19, The Lord of the Rings is one of the best-selling books ever written, with over 150 million copies sold. Set in Middle-earth, intended to be Earth at some time in the distant past, the story began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 children's book The Hobbit, but eventually developed into a much larger work. The Lord of the Rings is an epic high-fantasy novel by English author and scholar J. 20 October 1955 ( The Return of the King). 29 July 1954 ( The Fellowship of the Ring). |
