![]() Global demand for goods rose at an “unprecedented” speed in 2021, he said, but it has since fallen back to historically normal levels, while higher interest rates have lowered consumers’ appetite for big-ticket items usually paid for on credit. “We’re in a far better place than we were in the pandemic,” Simon MacAdam, deputy chief global economist at Capital Economics, told CNN. Global container shipping costs are less than half their level during the coronavirus pandemic, which peaked at $10,380 in September 2021.Īt that time, consumers were still mostly stuck at home, flush with savings and had little else to do but spend on goods. However, the current crisis pales in comparison with the one that preceded it. Global shipping costs per a typical 40-foot container stood at $3,786 this week, up 90% from the same time a year ago, according to the Drewry World Container Index.įor the same-sized container traveling from Shanghai in China to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the cost has jumped 158% compared with a year ago to hit $4,426. Sand at Xeneta estimates that it costs carriers - companies like Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd - an extra $1 million per vessel to make a round trip around the southern tip of Africa, with the vast majority of that figure accounted for by higher fuel costs.Ĭarriers have consequently hiked the freight rates paid by companies to have their goods transported on their vessels and have also tacked on emergency surcharges. “That is 10 to 20 times more expensive.”ĭata from Xeneta shows an uptick in the volume of cargo flying from Vietnam, a manufacturing hub for clothing, to northern Europe over the past three weeks.Īdding another few thousand miles to shipping routes has increased fuel and insurance costs, as well as charter fees and wage bills. “We do see fashion companies and those selling apparel in Europe deciding that some of their clothing lines will go airborne, instead of going seaborne, and that’s when you really talk about escalating costs,” he said. There is some evidence that shipping customers are choosing to fly their goods rather than export them by sea, because of the disruption, according to Sand. That’s added as much as two weeks to a typical East-to-West journey for container ships, and 18 days for slower bulk carriers and tankers. ![]() ![]() Peter Sand, chief analyst at Xeneta, an ocean and air freight data firm, estimates that about 90% of the usual container ship capacity passing through the Red Sea and Suez Canal has been rerouted around the southern tip of Africa.Īround one-quarter of all bulk carriers, which transport vast quantities of dry cargo such as grain or cement, and a quarter of tankers, carrying oil or natural gas, have made the same diversion around South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, he said. “So I think this is going to be with us for quite a few months.” “We are not near a resolution or a situation where we can see that the international community is able to provide a safe passage,” Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc told CNN’s Julia Chatterley in an interview Thursday. ![]() Still, the current crisis has left its mark, prompting Tesla ( TSLA) to pause some of its production because of delays in the delivery of car parts to Germany, and Swedish furniture giant Ikea to warn of possible product shortages. That exodus is a big deal: The Suez Canal, which connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, accounts for 10-15% of world trade, which includes oil exports, and for 30% of global container shipping volumes.īut the overall impact on shipping costs and supply chains is far less severe than at the height of the pandemic, analysts tell CNN. Those ships, which ferry everything from trainers to mobile phones from manufacturers in Asia to customers in Europe, have been taking longer routes to avoid the area. There has been an “almost wholesale exodus” of larger container ships from the Red Sea and the adjoining Suez Canal, Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of shipping publication Lloyds List, told CNN. The resulting delays and extra costs for shipping companies have fueled concerns that consumers, still struggling after a prolonged spell of rampant inflation, could be hit with fresh price rises.

Love the zoom option Great Camcorder!!! Love the zoom option."Ĭomfortable to Operate, Great Features, Great Picture Quality, Simple Controls I used it to film my son's basic training graduation." "Wow! The optical zoom of this camcorder is AWESOME! It also comes with a nice software that makes editing and transferring to your pc a breeze." "it took excellent video and the sound was good also." "i bought this camcorder for a trip to sea world." "I was absolutely stunned at how bad the image quality is." "The image quality of this camera is utter trash." "The optical image stabilization feature is quite adept at stabilizing a shaky image." Video Camera Panasonic SDR-H80K 60GB HDD amazing camera And what else can one expect more with $205.00? Just consider the fact that in the store, this Panasonic SDR-DH 80 may cost you $324.00. The bottom line is that this device is good for video recording. Outdoors pictures are OK and color tone is natural. Still pictures at 2MB pixels is not very clean when taken indoors under normal light condition. Sound recording volume is rather soft even turned on at 32x with stereo zoom. Multiple face detection is one good feature.Color quality is natural, not too gaudy like some other brands.Ĭons: a tripod must be used when zoom level exceeds 20x otherwise picuture quality will be affected as being shaken and blurred to some extend.

This Hay is added to the player's inventory (or the Junimo Hut storage, if harvested by Junimos) - it does not go directly into Silos. Hay is also obtained when harvesting Wheat: there is a 40% chance that each harvested Wheat will drop one unit of Hay. Right-clicking on a Hopper if Hay is the active item in the player's inventory will transfer the entire stack of Hay into the Silos. Therefore, it becomes impossible to withdraw Hay from a Hopper in deluxe Coops and Barns where the autofeeder always keeps the feeding bench full (see Tip). When right-clicked, a Hopper will dispense Hay equal to the number of animals living in the building - but no more than the number of empty slots in the building's Feeding Bench. ![]() Hay stored in Silos can only be withdrawn using the Hoppers found in Coops and Barns. All Hay harvested from Grass is immediately placed directly into the farm's Silos.Įach Silo can store up to 240 pieces of Hay. Note that although Grass can also be cleared using any Weapon or Bomb, no Hay is produced in these cases. Using a Scythe, there is a 50% chance of producing 1 Hay each time a tile is completely cleared of Grass using a Golden Scythe, the chance is 75%. Hay can be harvested from Grass using a Scythe or Golden Scythe, as long as there is an unfilled Silo on the farm. It can be placed into the Shipping Bin but yields 0g. ![]() It’s had to compete with the idea that books are luxury items. It’s all about getting things lined up that will move more than 500 books, that’s the key to Semicolon’s staying power, Mullen said.īut Semicolon hasn’t just had to endure moving pains. That includes hosting comedy events, working with the Humanities Festival for an event with Joy-Ann Reid and hosting celebrities such as RuPaul. We have some other ways that we’re going to keep ourselves in play.” “If you’re selling your cookbook and you want to come to Semicolon, you’ve got to make some food, honey! We’re creating a fully immersive space where you see all the best aspects of the culture at play. “Selling your cookbook is one thing, but people want to taste the food,” Mullen said. When the new location opens, authors will be able to cook their menu for a week at a time for customers. After hosting a cookbook author at Semicolon, Mullen discovered customers responded to programming where they can sample cookbook items cooked by authors. Mullen says Semicolon’s handmade candles are big sellers that help with the bottom line and now she’s looking into selling her own brand of whiskey at book events in the restaurant. So we’ve opened ourselves up for grants.” The good thing is that we have now moved to a fully nonprofit model. “We’re happy to create another branch of that restaurant inside of the bookstore,” Mullen said. Mullen said the space will include the bookstore and a bar and restaurant, which will be run by Mullen and her wife, Kimberly Moore, who co-owns 1308 Restaurant near Goose Island. Fifth Ave., it will be Semicolon’s home for the next 10 years. ![]() When the Preservation of Affordable Housing reached out to Mullen to make it a reality at the same time she was parting ways with her landlord in West Town, plans fell into place. ![]() But she couldn’t afford to make the move. At the time, Mullen considered having a second location across the street from Marshall Metropolitan High School. Mullen said some Garfield Park residents came to her West Town location in 2023 saying Garfield Park deserves a Semicolon. All you need to do is select the joining level you want (see the Manual's Quick Start Guide) and start typing! The QLD Cursive GT Pro font does not require the use of any external utility or application to create the cursive joins between letters – the joining is completely automatic, occurring in real time as letters are typed. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (up to and including CC) do not support Stylistic Sets. ![]() Note that the current versions of Word and Publisher only support the use of one Stylistic Set at a time providing basic joining functionality but limiting the full capabilities of the font. At present, the list of such applications is limited mainly to Microsoft Word and Publisher (2010/2011 & later), Apple Pages (v5.6 & later), Adobe InDesign, Quark XPress (2016 & later), CorelDRAW (X6 & later), Sketch and TextEdit. The QLD Cursive GT Pro font is a sophisticated OpenType font that will only function to its full potential in applications which are OpenType-aware and which recognize special OpenType features called Stylistic Sets. There are no Thick, Outlined, Dotted or Directional Arrow versions in the QLD Cursive GT Pro font. Also, the lighter weight allows the cursive joins to be displayed more accurately and clearly. The QLD Cursive GT Pro font is supplied in one weight which is slightly thinner than the stand-alone QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT-Regular, QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT-Regular and QLD PreCursive GT-Regular fonts to reflect the fact that, by the time the student begins cursive writing, they will be probably be using more refined writing implements such as ball-point pens etc. The automatically-joining fully cursive font QLD Cursive GT Pro is available as a separate package with its own Manual. When fully joined, PreCursive becomes the Queensland Modern Cursive style. The QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts (Regular, Thick and OutIined) and the QLD Flourished GT (Regular, Arrow) fonts are also available but are not included in the QLD Beginner GT Pack. These 10 fonts plus PDF Manual comprises the QLD Beginner GT Pack. The QLD PreCursive GT fonts are each available as Regular, Thick and OutIined. The QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT fonts are available as Regular (with and without directional arrows), OutIined (with and without directional arrows), Dotted (with and without directional arrows) and Thick. The Thick weight is approximately 170% of the Regular weight as per common typographic practice. The weight of the Regular fonts is intended to match the average pen thickness of the illustrations in the various Queensland Department of Education publications above. The QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT and QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts contain the d with a tail as the default lettershape but they also contain the alternate d with no tail as an option. The stated reason for this is to prevent the student, who is new to writing & reading, from confusing d with b (being mirror-images of each other) and also from confusing d with a (differing only in the length of their vertical stem). Queensland and Tasmania share a convention regarding the drawing of the lowercase “d” that is different to other regions – the “d” is drawn with an exit tail whereas the similarly-shaped “a” is not. ![]() In the transitional QLD PreCursive GT font (based on the Yr 1-3 letterforms) the letters are unjoined but they have cursive exits and entries which the writer needs to master as they move towards fully joined writing. In the QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT and QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts, the letters are unjoined. QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT is an evolved form of QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT and has more rounded, flowing and “natural” lettershapes. * * The QLD Beginner Yr 4-7 GT fonts are based on The Teaching of Handwriting: A Handbook published by Queensland Department of Education, Curriculum Development Services, 1984 (I1399 7), Reprinted 1990 without reference to the year range 4-7 (I4108 6) *. The QLD Beginner Yr 1-3 GT fonts are based on Year 1-3 Queensland Department of Education handwriting resources chiefly Alphabet Pack Year 1 (PR114), Letter book Year 2 (PR115) and Handwriting Pack Year 3 (PR121), published by the Open Access Unit, 1997. The Queensland fonts are designed in strict accordance with the current Queensland Modern Cursive style (also known as QCursive) as specified in various resource materials published by the Queensland Department of Education. ![]() By interacting with this repository, organization, or community you agree to abide by its terms.

More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers When I worked for Synthes back in the day, fracture fixation was regarded as something that was like an ugly stepchild and only to be non-operatively treated. Schwartz: I'm really amazed and impressed by what I've seen in my 40 years of work with the elite in some way, shape or form. What are some things that you're really proud of, some achievements that you like to share with the community? So obviously you've been here for 40 years. The other thing is that I have kind of an open agenda for my retirement, and I know that may sound like poor planning but I really just want to see what the world presents to me as I enter into this new phase. I've always enjoyed working with the surgeon community and even those communities that go outside of the AO North America scheme. And then who knows? You know, I may do a little bit of consulting. I sit on several boards that are philanthropic organizations or humanitarian organizations. And a lot of that will be working within the medical philanthropy world. I still want to stay somewhat with a purpose that goes with having a job, so to speak. Although all those things are kind of things on the docket. And I don't think you're going to find me every day finding a new book to read or finding a new fishing place or going to a new golf course or whatever, new places to hike. I've always felt that you should live your life with a purpose. Schwartz: Somebody once told me, you can't retire from life. ![]() Okumura: What are your plans for retirement? That's what I've been thinking about for some time and finally decided that the time had come now. Let somebody replace me who has the competencies and the passion and all that goes with leading this organization into the future. And it just seems like the right time for me in the leadership role of the AO North America organization to bring in somebody else. It's time in terms of the leadership needs of AO North America. It's time in terms of my own personal life. I've come to a point where I realize it's time. ![]() Steve Schwartz: You know, after 40 years of work, that really hasn't been work, but that's been more of an adventure and a true joy. ![]() The first question we have is: how do you feel about your retirement and what does it mean to you to leave an organization that's been in your life for over 40 years?
