![]() You have the choice to spend extra on exclusive spaces such as the spa's thermal suite, the Norwegian Breakaway adult-only Vibe Beach Club, on a handful of entertainment offerings or on specialty restaurants. While many restaurants and activities are included in the cruise fare, it's really the extras that create a special experience. Some of the Best Norwegian Breakaway Activities Are Not FreeĪnyone who cruises Breakaway should know the cruise fare is a starter price. ![]() There's little true enrichment, and it can be hard to mingle with other passengers unless you’re staying in the Studio section, which features a private lounge for solo travelers. The only old-school elements are singles gatherings, the small Norwegian Breakaway library (best to bring your own books) and mainstream ports. ![]() On the flip side, Breakaway is also not a ship for those who prefer cruise traditions. While you can take your chances and walk in, you need to give up some flexibility so as not to miss out. However, to make the most of your time onboard, you really must plan ahead and make reservations before your trip (or early in the cruise), especially when it comes to dining in specialty restaurants or booking spa treatments. Norwegian claims Freestyle means "what you want when you want it," an appealing concept for those who wish to be spontaneous and in control of their vacation experience. That said, Breakaway is not for everyone, especially those on either extreme of the traditional cruising spectrum. “Burn the Floor” and “Velvet” don’t disappoint either. The highlight of evening entertainment on Norwegian Breakaway is “Six”, an acclaimed Broadway show with excellent performers. The Norwegian Breakaway casino, the spa, Entourage teens’ club, Splash Academy kids’ club, the pools, the sports complex, and the adult-only areas will keep passengers of all ages busy and happy throughout the day. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of fun offerings. Norwegian Breakaway Amenities Cater to Families and Adults Alike And for those who wish to enjoy their meals in the privacy of their cabin, room service is available around the clock for a flat rate. Norwegian Breakaway restaurants are spread over multiple decks, allowing for easy access to food from all corners of the ship. The Norwegian Breakaway Haven suite complex, located on decks 15 through 17 and featuring its own private pool area and lounge, is also generally quiet despite sharing space with common areas. That is a major plus, as you’ll be sharing the ship with almost 4,000 other passengers.Ĭabins on decks 10, 11 and 12 are great for light sleepers, as they’re not shared with any loud public venues and are located above and beneath other rooms. Norwegian Breakaway deck plans are well designed, with separate decks for public spaces and cabins, allowing for quiet nights for a high percentage of guests. Norwegian Breakaway Deck Plans Spread Out Venues, Leave Cabin Areas Quiet Our time on the Norwegian Breakaway cruise ship was a fantastic experience with so much to do that the only downside was we simply didn't have time to try everything. Our experience onboard a seven-night cruise felt so much like a jam-packed stay at a really good Las Vegas resort that we only remembered we were on a ship when looking out to sea. It's a style that other cruise lines have adopted, but Norwegian Breakaway did it first by outpacing its competitors with sheer number of restaurants, shows and entertainment venues. Instead, Norwegian Breakaway offers resort-like, rather than ship-like, entertainment and dining. Norwegian Cruise Line long has been a pioneer in creating a contemporary cruising experience, most notably with its Freestyle philosophy, which deconstructs the traditional style of cruising (set dining times, fewer dining options, set schedules and relatively limited entertainment options). ![]() The cookie is used by cdn services like CloudFare to identify individual clients behind a shared IP address and apply security settings on a per-client basis.

This 8,000sq/ft shop is just 35 minutes away in Friendsville, Tennessee. As Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs continues to expand its already wide range of services, a Custom Paint Shop was added to the mix in the Spring of 2023. This new shop is over 20,000-sq/ft on 3.6-acres, just 2-miles from Downtown Knoxville! In the Fall of 2022, an additional 12,000sq/ft building was erected next door that now houses all of the Project Vehicles giving the manufacturing side of the business much more room to expand production in the main building. This building was about 8,000-sq/ft and was quickly bursting at the seams.Īfter years of diligent searching, Scott’s moved everything–and the employees–2,240-miles across the country to Knoxville, TN in April 2018. The owner of the property was forced to sell and Scott’s moved its entire operation to the neighboring town of Oxnard, CA in 2005.

This year, with the 2019s, he was still tweaking the blend, but he did mention that this is "pretty close to the final blend." Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Opus One leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Winemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage. After its debut in 1979, Opus One Napa Valley quickly rose to cult status, and to this day it remains one of the most sought-after wines produced in the United States. From the onset, Opus One was conceived as a Bordeaux-style blend based on premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, thereby merging French and American winemaking styles into a singular opus. These age-worthy and prestigious wines are favored by collectors throughout the world.Opus One is a joint venture between the late Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux. Oakville wines are known for their silky, sensual textures, structured tannins, dark and brooding fruit and lovely aromatics. Oakville's diverse soils, namely ancient sea bedrock, clay and gravel, are well-drained, and perfect for high-caliber viticulture.Ĭabernet here is often bottled varietally but is also popular in Bordeaux Blends. Summer days see a gentle tug of war between warmer inland air and the cool air coming in from the San Pablo Bay, creating an ideal environment to grow red varieties. The climate is generally warm and agreeable, resulting in year after year of favorable vintages. This AVA is home to the legendary To Kalon Vineyard and Martha's Vineyard, as well as many powerhouse wineries including Screaming Eagle, Silver Oak, Robert Mondavi, Opus One, Far Niente and Groth. Home to some of the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignon in America, Napa Valley’s Oakville district stretches across the center of Napa's valley floor and foothills between the Vaca and Mayacamas Mountains. Two parcels, totaling 100 acres, are within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard. These are complemented by the combined 70 acres of the Ballestra and River parcels, which envelop the winery. In the vineyards, hand-harvesting and other traditional approaches are taken wherever they work best. When modern techniques benefit the winegrowing process, they are researched, evaluated and integrated into practice The estate vineyards of Opus One, comprised of four parcels, sit in the western portion of the famed Oakville AVA in Napa Valley. It remains an ongoing testament to the founders’ vision of a singular wine that transcends generations. Rising gracefully from the vineyards, Opus One winery stands in subtle celebration of the land and the open space that surrounds the estate. Guided by the vision of our founders, winemaker Michael Silacci combines intuition and technical acumen with the dual perspective of viticulturist and winemaker. From tasting berries to careful sorting and extended aging in new French oak barrels, each stage of the winemaking process is afforded the same meticulous consideration and attention. After 18 months, the Opus One wine is bottled and held an additional 15 months until release on October 1st each year. Place, often defined as terroir, represents the geography, the climate and the essential human element which is captured in the wine’s balance between power and finesse, structure and texture. The essence of time is expressed in Opus One wine by the character of each vintage. ![]() The facial profile of the two founders is visible on their iconic label. Producing luxury wines from its Napa Valley vineyards, the partnership made its first vintage in 1979 and has made wine at Opus One since 1991. Opus One is a partnership founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac, France, and renowned Napa Valley vintner, Robert Mondavi. ![]() Learn about Opus One, it’s history, the winery and the wine.

Those tools work in stable business environments. ![]() The reason for this is to help you setup a visual chart with multiple series of statistics over a field containing the x-axis values. chart is the same as stats but it let's you group by only two fields instead of arbitrarily many. You can calculate these statistics across the record set as a whole (the default) or you can add a by clause to group over a set of other fields with the same corresponding value set for those fields allowing you to answer questions that require such division. Stats (and other functions) on the other hand lets you apply statistical functions across all records in your record set, including but not limited to count(eval(testLogic="ADD_PASS")) as Add_Count for example. If you want to set multiple values you need multiple eval statements ![]() Additionally, eval only sets the value of a single field at a time. Because eval works on a row by row basis, attempting to count the number of times a field is a certain value across all records isn't possible with the eval function. eval lets you assign a value to a new field on each result (row / record) based on values of other fields in each result and functions applied to the same. The issue at hand I think is an understanding of the differences between eval and chart. So I am wondering what I am all doing wrong ? (here I expect to get over the time chart if at least one stepName additional_sub_? or wrong_sub_? was having stepStatus PASS or not)īut it produce a lot of errors starting with:Įrror in 'eval' command: The operator at ', Wrg_Count = count(testLogic="WRG_PASS")' is invalid.

So, Add_Status would have value PASS is at least one stepName(additional_sub_4 or additional_sub_3) is PASS, otherwise FAIL. I need to draw a chart with two lines Add_Status, Wrg_Status which would have values of PASS or FAIL over the time. ![]() The majority of the film serves as an operatic experimental musical filled with half-sung monologues, wailing choirs, gospel soul, auto-tuned crooning, RnB and acapella rap. ![]() He crosses a literal river of fundament, sewage and shit and for the majority of the film, Norman Mailer's forms are caked in murk and dirt. River Of Fundament isn't really a narrative-driven film, but the premise of three forms of Norman Mailer's spirit visiting his own apartment during a wake is fascinating. River Of Fundament made its appearances during exhibitions of Barney's sculptures at renowned modern art museums and has rarely been seen outside of that context, but I believe it's well worth seeking out if you're interested in provocative cinema. Matthew Barney's known best for his Cremaster Cycle of feature experimental films (I personally discovered him via his short film Hoist which was included in the Destricted film anthology, a collection of sexually explicit experimental films). Spoiler warning: I go into a lot of detail as to what makes River Of Fundament a disturbing film.Ī friend of mine showed me Matthew Barney's nearly six hour-long film River Of Fundament rather recently and I was equally disgusted and mesmerised. ![]() This development will also translate into other movements, like clean and jerks, with more power and output potential. ![]() By not only recruiting a large muscles across the body, efficiency is key when doing SDHPs to developing explosive technique. Learning how to coordinate the movement between the lower and upper body when moving weight is a talent you must develop if you're looking to become a better athlete. By developing these muscles, you'll not only be able to become a better athlete, but you'll also have a more jacked aesthetic. The muscles that make up the back of the body, including the hips and back, are going to be the muscles that your body recruits to jump higher, lift more, and to have more peak power output during big functional fitness movements. The posterior chain development received by regularly incorporating sumo deadlift high pulls is second to none. Regardless of if you’re a functional athlete or a bodybuilder, the SDHP can really be a game changer for overall strength development. From the upper and lower body, you’re going to feel the tension of the movement in the hams, glutes, core, erectors, shoulders, quads, biceps, traps, and even your forearms. In this movement, an individual will start in a sumo deadlift foot and body positioning, then end with the elbows bent, in a full upright position, with the bar just under the chin.Īs a full body compound movement, the sumo deadlift high pull recruits a wide variety of primary movers and muscle groups in the body. In this movement it isn’t so much about how much weight you can move, but rather, how efficiently you can move the weight between the upper and lower body. ![]() The sumo deadlift high pull (SDHP) is a tool for teaching an individual or an athlete how to derive power and force generation from the lower body through the upper body. If you’re looking to build a jacked posterior chain, then learning how to do the sumo deadlift high pull and what the benefits are is going to be right up your alley. This movement is not only going to work on strength and stabilization, but it is also a foundational movement that gives way to building the coordination and ability to explode and recruit the appropriate muscles for bigger, more compound movements, like cleans, jerks, and gymnastics. The sumo deadlift high pull is a great conditioning tool that is a staple in CrossFit, functional fitness, athletic training and personal training modalities. ![]() Indeed, an Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Diagnostic Report found a trend of population growth in St. Louis, it’s safe to assume that high levels of violence are causing thousands of individuals to leave the city each year, directly affecting the local economy, tax base, and quality of life. A study of violence and population trends in Chicago, which is similarly suffering from population decline, 7 showed that for every murder, 70 local residents move out. Population decline, a top priority of city leaders, 6 is intimately related to community violence. Louis has undergone tremendous changes in the last few decades, reflected by dramatic population changes: the city has seen a nearly 30% decrease in its population since 1980, and a more than 62% decrease since 1950. ![]() Louis, where multiple studies have shown that violence correlates directly to levels of poverty, racial segregation, and patterns of divestment in communities of color. These general trends and principles of community violence all hold true in the City of St. 5 The individuals at the highest risk of engaging in or being victimized by violence are often falling through the cracks of many different public systems, and are hard to reach unless there are well-resourced and intentional strategies to specifically identify these individuals and provide them with tailored, long-term, and intensive support. ![]() It’s also essential to understand that the communities disproportionately experiencing violence have been fundamentally failed and neglected (and at times, actively abused and traumatized) by multiple societal systems, and often are bearing the burden of generational trauma and harm. When it comes to addressing community violence, focus and precision are key. 4 This means that broad, citywide approaches and sweeping enforcement strategies-like “stop and frisk” policing tactics, are unlikely to be effective. Louis stands out.Īs a general principle, there is often a very small number of individuals who drive a substantial portion of serious violent activity in any given city (often less than 1% of a given city’s population accounts for over 50% of violent crime). Louis has consistently been ranked among the most dangerous cities in the United States.” 3 In a country where levels of gun violence are off the charts compared to other developed nations, St. Louis suffers from all these forms of community violence, gun-related violence is by far the most prevalent: in recent years, upwards of 90% of homicides have been committed with a firearm, and nonfatal shootings result in thousands of admissions to local emergency departments and trauma centers each year. “Community violence” is defined by the World Health Organization as “violence between individuals who are unrelated, and who may or may not know each other, generally taking place outside the home.” 2 This includes shootings, homicides, stabbings, physical assaults, and the unnecessary use of force by law enforcement. That is why, while we recognize the larger systems change work that absolutely must be done to address the inequities at the root of community violence, this report is focused primarily on concrete strategies and systems that can help reduce violence in the short term, and that must be woven into the fabric of broader systems change going forward. Louis will be more difficult, as violence is both a symptom and a cause of inequality. ![]() But until the immediate bloodshed is dramatically reduced, progress on any larger social issue in St. Violence is the result of many complex systems and inequities, from segregation and disinvestment in communities of color, to grave disparities in the criminal legal system, among others. Louis leaders and community stakeholders in prioritizing-and funding-the most effective solutions for reducing violence as quickly as possible. In recognition of the fact that this work requires a significant infusion of resources, Giffords staff and partners have also mapped out local, state, and federal funding opportunities to support all of the recommendations made here. Louis and identify strategies that need to either be implemented or scaled up to address this crisis. In June 2021, the Missouri Foundation for Health contracted with the Giffords Community Violence Initiative team to synthesize the information currently known about the scope and nature of the community violence epidemic in the City of St. Louis Countyīrittany Nieto, Jordan Costa, Mike McLively - Nov 04, 2022 You can't currently because we don't have them in a user-consumable form. We have an #antidote channel in the ElectricSQL discord if you’d be interested in chatting more. We are also taking advantage of some simplifications which mitigate the known issues. (Professor Annette Bieniusa, who leads the development, is our Chief Architect). We are working, alongside others, with the Antidote developers to help fix these issues and generally improve reliability / engineer correct behaviour under load. ![]() There are also other aspects on the Antidote roadmap such as efficiently materialising consistent secondary indexes that are ongoing challenges but aren’t so relevant to how we’re using it as a replication layer. It’s not production ready and neither are we (we’re in developer preview mode, which is like a public alpha ). However it has some known issues, such as behaviour under high load and not currently handling node failure within a DC. Yup, it’s a very rigorous system developed over ~10 years with solid testing, benchmarking and formal proofs. The SQLite Session Extension potentially has the building blocks needed for such a system.

The concept of a single codebase web/mobile/desktop app with proper offline storage is here. WASM SQLite with the OPFS is the future of offline first web app development. ![]() The OPFS supersedes all that and makes it possible to have proper consistent and resilient transactions. It provided full ACID compliment transactions. You may have seen “Absurd SQL” which was a proof of concept for building a SQLite Virtual FS backend using IndexedDB. This is really good news, and exactly what the OPFS was designed for.
