Expo: Antoine de Saint Exupéry. The Little Prince among Humans
Another great show to discover in Brussels – "Antoine de Saint Exupéry. The Little prince among Humans". This immersive exhibition invites the public to join the Little Prince and uncover the exciting life and work of his creator – a unique opportunity to experience the imaginary meeting between their two worlds.
From the very beginning of the expo, the Little Prince and his creator have one thing in common: Antoine's mother, Marie de Saint Exupéry. It is she who guides the visitor throughout the tour. As she did during her lifetime in lectures and interviews, she recounts the life and work of her son. This is a moving context that justifies the special, close ties that bound the mother to her son. This runs through the audio guide that accompanies the visitor throughout the exhibition.
The exhibition is divided into four parts where the visitor is immersed in very different worlds. At first, the wonderful world of the Little Prince is brought to life. Thanks to the sculptures by the artist Arnaud Nazare-Aga, visitors can revisit the story of this little man who came from a distant planet to tell us about ourselves. His love of sunsets, the baobabs that threaten his planet, the fox he has to tame, the sheep he has to draw and, above all, his rose: so many images that enchant all the children around the world, past and present.
The Little Prince has been captivating us for three quarters of a century, but its relevance is more pressing than ever. Humanism, ecology, concern for others: these are all themes that run through The Little Prince, but also the entire work and life of a great writer to be (re)discovered.
Visitors will then have a chance to discover the fascinating life of Antoine de Saint Exupéry. While the Little Prince may be known throughout the world, the life of its author is probably less well known. Yet the author always based his work on his own life.
A passionate aviator, a pioneer of aviation, particularly of l'Aéropostale, on a par with Mermoz or Guillaumet, a writer and fighter in the Second World War, Antoine de Saint Exupéry is a multi-faceted character in a novel. And a man in love with life and humanity. This is the first time that so many personal objects, photos, manuscripts and drawings have been brought together to tell the author's life story. Visitors leaf through this true novel, each chapter of which is staged to immerse them into the heart of a life and an era, that of the flying fools. Replicas of planes are displayed alongside film projections, audiovisual montages and testimonies from the writer, his family and friends. Until his mysterious disappearance over the Mediterranean, one day in July 1944. His last mission.
The world of The Little Prince and that of his creator will come together in a grandiose immersive space where visitors will witness a game of hide-and-seek between the author and his famous character. In the midst of a fabulous setting, they find each other, get lost and chase each other in a show that makes use of all the current audiovisual resources.
Finally, visitors are invited to express themselves, react and make choices in an interactive workshop. Faced with situations from the life and work of the writer, they will have to choose the one they feel closest to from among the thoughts, attitudes and reactions. They will also be able to leave messages for other visitors and for all those who support the Saint Exupéry Foundation throughout the world.
The exhibition lasts from 25 February until 6 November 2022 and takes place in Brussels Expo – Palais 2.

Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of LA is a vital institution for Los Angeles' Jewish and non-Jewish youth, providing a myriad of programs from mentorship to online teen guidance to college assistance to camp. Its mentors continue to meet with mentees and its online teen mental health program, Teen Talk, is thriving given an increased demand among teens for mental health assistance.
Teen Talk trains Jewish teens under the guidance of trained practitioners, to become effective peer mentors to other teens seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationships, family issues, school and beyond, who connect via a smartphone application. The program aims to build a community of empathetic teens, inspired by Jewish values, who are ambassadors of social and emotional health. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a dramatic increase in posts related to self-harm. As a result, JBBBSLA is working to expand the number of days and hours that teen advisors and the licensed social workers supervising the teens are working to ensure the mental health and safety of their peers from five days a week/four hours a day to seven days a week/five hours a day.
Founded in 2009 to help alleviate economic suffering of Jewish families caused by the economic downturn, the Jewish Family Relief Network provided first-time clients with coordinated services such as case management, mental health care, job retraining and placement, navigation of financial systems, and assistance with housing, food, and medical expenses.
The Jewish Family Relief Network is comprised of the following five organizations: Builders of Jewish Education; Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles; Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles; Jewish Free Loan Association; and Jewish Vocational Service.
Established in 1854, Jewish Family Service (JFS) of Los Angeles is a multi-service agency whose goals are to strengthen and preserve individual, family, and community life by providing a wide range of human services to people in the community at every stage of the life cycle, especially those who are poor and disadvantaged.
LIFE @ Home (Living, Inspired, Fit, and Engaged) supports greater connectivity between homebound Holocaust survivors and the wider community through the use of cutting-edge technology to access a blend of supportive services, including social, educational, and holiday programs, improving quality of life and enabling them to age-in-place with dignity and grace.
To support emergency relief in response to COVID-19.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, JFS has seen a significant increase in requests for food, cash assistance, and mental health services, particularly from seniors. They had to close their congregate meal sites and shifted to home-delivered meals. They created a second shift at their Hirsh Kosher Kitchen to produce 14 meals instead of five per week and are delivering over 8,000 frozen meals per week to homebound seniors. They are also delivering SOVA grocery boxes to over 1,100 households in addition to their on-site distribution, and there are 1,000 new households receiving groceries from SOVA.
JFS is a multi-service agency whose goals are to strengthen and preserve individual, family, and community life by providing a wide range of human services to people in the community at every stage of the life cycle, especially those who are poor and disadvantaged.
The JFS (Jewish Family Service) Lois and Richard Gunther Center will transform JFS's current Fairfax campus into a flagship service center that provides fully integrated health, mental health, and human services for older adults under one roof. It will more than double JFS's current program space and allow JFS to increase the number of clients served annually.

Манастир Томић је православни манастир који припада Епархији браничевској Српске православне цркве. Смештен у шуми, недалеко од села Војска у општини Свилајнац.

Манастирска црква посвећена је светом апостолу Томи. Претпоставља се да његово име не долази од имена ктитора, већ од деминутива имена светитеља коме је црква посвећена.

Историја
Манастир је подигнут је у време деспота Стефана. Први пут се помиње 1467. године у "Тефтеру браничевског субашилука", под именом "Идин", уписан заједно са
селом Војска. Из "Тефтера" се може видети да манастир плаћа турцима порез у износу од 20 акчи што указује
да је у то време манастир био сиромашан. Старо име манастира "Идин" је вероватно грешка турског писара који
је, претпоставља се, "Ваведење" скратио у "Идин" али то је нерешена претпоставка година јер се помиње као манастир код села Грнчар, који су данас делови два села близу овог манастира. Народ је обнављао манастир Томић, а обновљене су и две манастирске зграде. Томић припада Ресавској Светој гори.

Томић је активан женски манастир.

Voices from the Dust Bowl
AFC 1985/001:P16
As part of the New Deal, the U.S. government took a leading role in documenting the music, speech, and artistic efforts of ordinary Americans. In doing so, it generated rich and extensive collections for the Archive of American Folk-Song. The Archive, which was established in 1928 as part of the Library's Music Division, is now part of the American Folklife Center.
Throughout the South, the Midwest, and the Southwest, as well as in New York City and California, New Deal workers collected songs, tunes, and spoken materials. These collections made their way to the archive in Washington, D.C. For the most part, the materials comprise field recordings of African American and Anglo-American traditional music, but they also include the first substantial folk music collections from numerous other American ethnic groups. In addition, many of the collections include photographs, drawings, fieldnotes, field reports, and correspondence.
Many New Deal agencies and programs contributed materials to the Archive, including the Resettlement Administration (RA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), and a wide range of Works Progress Administration and Work Projects Administration (WPA) programs, such as the Federal Writers' Project (FWP), the Federal Theater Project (FTP), the National Youth Administration (NYA), and the Joint Committee on Folk Arts.

With both of my big lenses out of commission this week and off to Nikon, I was forced to get creative, which, in the end, was really good for me. I spent a lot of time with my 16-35 mm, playing with composition and wide-angle shots. It was refreshing to attend a horse show and have the freedom to think artistically and not stand ringside all day seeking the typical jumping shot. Instead, I wandered around to the rings, barns and schooling areas with a different part of my brain engaged, playing with composition, angles and lighting. While some images worked well and I was pleased with the outcome, I did employ the delete button on a regular basis—but I also had lots of fun in the process!

Monorail plan now appears too ambitious
Source of funding remains unclear
Monorail plan now appears too ambitious Source of funding remains unclear Check out this story on dnj.com: http://on.dnj.com/1BjAjxd
Murfreesboro Published 8:00 p.m. CT Jan. 3, 2015
I-24 traffic(Photo: DNJ file)Buy Photo
No one doubts that transportation problems only are going to worsen if population projections for Rutherford County are anywhere close to being accurate, but construction of a monorail between Murfreesboro and Nashville now seems an unlikely option.
The monorail proposal has an advocate in state Sen. Bill Ketron, but a source of funding for the project's current estimated cost of $1.3 billion is not clear.
State officials now are discussing an increase in the gasoline tax just to fund current transportation projects, and that funding is not available for mass transit under current state law.
The federal government also is in need of additional resources for transportation funding.
Recent Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization recommendations for regional transportation improvements, as County Mayor Ernest Burgess noted, have been for enhanced bus service between Murfreesboro and Nashville. Burgess serves on that organization's executive board.
Murfreesboro is now engaged in a long-range study project, and we think Murfreesboro, the county, the Legislature and regional planners all should keep the monorail proposal in the mix of options under study.
Whether it should be a top priority is another matter.
A lot of changes in behavior and attitude are going to be necessary before the residents of Rutherford County are ready to make mass-transit use their top priority for travel.
We are not saying that can't happen. We are just saying we don't think it has happened yet.
With the projections for continued rapid increases in population, perhaps those who migrate to Middle Tennessee from other parts of the nation and the world will be prepared to support fully mass transit development with their priority use of the service.
Ketron is correct that transportation planners do not have too many options.
While additions of lanes was a possibility in the past, growth and development along I-24 does not leave much land available for further widening of the highway.
As Ketron also notes, the geology of the region does not allow for too much possibility for tunneling under I-24.
We wish Ketron well in his efforts to win support for a monorail, but he and his legislative colleagues need to work on short-term alternatives in the meantime.
If this means an increase in the gasoline tax, then some legislators may have to abandon any no-tax-increase pledges.
The opinions in this space represent a consensus of discussion by The Daily News Journal Editorial Board.

Super Dividend ETF Tops $1 Billion in Assets
In another sign of the importance and popularity of dividend stocks and exchange traded funds, the Global X SuperDividend ETF (NYSEArca: SDIV) has topped $1 billion in assets under management.
To be precise, SDIV had $1.05 billion in AUM as of the close of U.S. markets on June 11. SDIV, which launched just over three years ago, has rapidly grown. The ETF reached $100 million in AUM in August 2012. [Super Global Dividends in This ETF]
SDIV tracks the Solactive SuperDividend Index, providing exposure to 100 equal weighted companies that are among the highest dividend yielding stocks around the globe. U.S. securities account for 23 percent of the fund, while Australia and the U.K. represent 20 percent and 10 percent respectively. The fund has a 12-month dividend yield of 6.06%. The 30 Day SEC Yield (as of the most recent month end) is 5.85%, according to Global X.
Not only is that strong yield part of the allure with SDIV, but the ETF has offered solid returns as well, gaining almost 20% in the past year. Additionally, SDIV pays a monthly dividend. [Monthly Dividend ETFs]
SDIV is the second income-generating ETF to top $1 billion in AUM in the past month. The actively managed AdvisorShares Peritus High Yield ETF (NYSEArca: HYLD) is the other.
"In this low and uncertain interest rate environment, we believe exposure to global dividend payers can provide key diversification to income-oriented portfolios," said Jay Jacobs, Global X research analyst, in a statement. "Our SuperDividend ETF provides access to a class of dividend payers that have traditionally been overlooked by the market.

Center for Disabilities announces inaugural annual spring symposium
VERMILLION, S.D. -- "Best Practices in Providing Services to Individuals with Disabilities" is the theme of the recently announced USD Center for Disabilities Spring Symposium, which takes place in Chamberlain, S.D., April 14-16.
In the past, the Center for Disabilities held trainings and presentations like the Fall and Spring Autism Conferences or the Traumatic Brain Injury Conference, but this is the first conference that covers all of the Center for Disabilities programs and services, including areas like Birth to Three, academic and interdisciplinary training, technical assistance, transition and employment, technology and much more.
The symposium is developed for direct service providers, advocates, families of individuals with disabilities, educators, employment specialists, community support specialists, case managers, counselors and anyone who is interested in programs and services that cover the life course of a person with a disability.
"We are excited about this symposium and feel it will better meet the needs of the many talented practitioners in the state by offering them the opportunity to network and attend a myriad of workshops, presentations, and trainings in one focused event," said Wendy Parent-Johnson, Center for Disabilities executive director. "This is our first annual symposium and we look forward to bringing the symposium to other parts of the state and offering new and diverse themes each year."

How to fix it? I do not have this problem before using the XML configuration over time

A: your configuration is missing
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "your package to beans")

so it cant scan your beans like controller or whatever you try to make as bean
so add this on top of your configuration class like below
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.vito16.activiti.demo1")
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Bean
    public InternalResourceViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver() {
        InternalResourceViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();

Mark Pfeifer (middle) poses with two Wigglewow employees, Emily Parks (left) and Sarah Potter (right). (Eileen Street/Spectrum News 1)
Hiring people with disabilities, an untapped market to help the U.S. labor shortage
By Eileen Street Kentucky
PUBLISHED 7:39 AM ET Nov. 15, 2021 PUBLISHED 7:39 AM EST Nov. 15, 2021
JEFFERSONTOWN, Ky. — As some businesses struggle to hire employees, Wigglewow, a specialty dog treat company, has a waiting list of people wanting to work. The Jeffersontown-based company focuses on hiring people with disabilities, which its founder Mark Pfeifer said is an untapped labor market.
Currently, the U.S. has a labor shortage
Data shows that Kentuckians with a disability, aged 18 to 64 years old, have a higher unemployment rate compared to the same age group of people without disabilities
Wigglewow, a specialty dog treat company in Jeffersontown, Ky., has had no issues finding employees because it seeks to hire people with disabilities
A Washington D.C. area staffing firm, which specializes in placing adults with disabilities in jobs, told Spectrum News that business is up due to the labor shortage
In 2019, Pfeifer left his corporate job to focus on Wigglewow; a company he founded that was inspired by his nephew who has autism.
Wigglewow's purpose goes beyond just creating treats canines love and humans can stomach. Pfeifer said, "I mean, I don't want my dogs eating anything I wouldn't be willing to eat."
Wigglewow also exists to create jobs for people like Emily Parks, who works in the kitchen as an "Epic Chef."
The 20-year-old, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, told Spectrum News 1 her dog, Sassy, gets very excited and jumps around anytime she sees a Wigglewow dog treat. Parks also said she has tasted Wigglewow treats, too.
"They taste like a dry granola bar … but salty, though," Parks told Spectrum News 1.
Pfeifer also recently hired Sarah Potter to work in the kitchen, or as Pfeifer calls it "The Doghouse." Potter is nonverbal and has Down syndrome, but there is always work to accommodate every epic chef's abilities.
"God has me on a mission. I mean this is a society where we as a culture just kind of push them to the side and don't really give them the opportunities," Pfeifer said. "We are all children, right, and we are all his children, and we all have different skills and abilities, and so I see it as my responsibility to try to help bring out, through Wigglewow, whatever they are capable of doing."
The 56-year-old said he is often asked by business-owner friends about why he hires people with disabilities.
"So I just asked them a couple questions. I said, 'Do you have any young employees?' They said, 'Well, absolutely.' I go, "And they always show up on time and every day for work right?' And they kind of laughed and shrug off and like, 'Yeah right, you know the younger generation they aren't like that. They don't have the same work ethic,' " Pfeifer explained.
He continued, "And I go, 'I never have that problem. My employees always show up.' "
Wigglewow also doesn't have any issues hiring, despite the current labor shortage in the U.S. Currently, there is a waiting list to work in Wigglewow's kitchen.
"I mean the fact that we have just under 50 people on our waiting list right now, and many more that didn't even want to get on the waiting list, there are so many other companies that need to hire this population and give them an opportunity," Pfeifer said.
David Wilf, founder of xStellar, a Washington D.C. area staffing firm, which specializes in job placement for people with disabilities, said this job market is very loyal, accurate, and reliable.
You're talking about individuals who are self-motivated because they've had to be. That's the only way they are successful. They are extremely honest to a fault," Wilf explained. "You are not going to have individuals that are gonna come in and be on their cellphones and playing games and trying to chat it up. They're going to be heads down, working, doing their job and take a lot of pride in what they do."
Pre-pandemic, Wilf told Spectrum News 1 that xStellar was in seven states, and now, the company helps potential employees and employers in 23 states.
"We have companies that absolutely are telling us that they are 40 people shy, 60 people shy. They are working with four, five, or six different staffing agencies that are providing maybe one person a month, and that person lasts a week," Wilf told Spectrum News 1. "They contact us; we are able to provide them with 40 resources within two weeks."
Wilf, who said he was partly inspired to start xStellar because of relatives he has with disabilities, said his staffing firm has received interest from over 900 Kentuckians with disabilities who want to work.
Based on data from 2019 by the Institute on Disability/UCED at the University of New Hampshire, the employment rate for Kentuckians with disabilities aged 18 to 64 years old and living in the community, not in an institution, was 30.8%. While the employment rate for people without disabilities, aged 18 to 64 years old, and also living in the community, was just 76.2%.
Wilf said xStellar offers free support for job seekers prior to and after being hired. Plus, the staffing firm also provides on-site support for both the company and employee once matched because Wilf explained that the first three to six months can be the most challenging for both the employer and employee.
Wilf said a big percentage of job placements by xStellar, for people with disabilities, are in production, but other opportunities are also on the table.
"We are also talking IT, software testing, software engineering," Wilf explained. "There's an individual right now who is a vice president at a major financial institution, and nobody would ever guess that individual has autism."
Wigglewow has no connection to xStellar and Pfeifer hires the employees. Customers get to know a bite-sized piece of a Wigglewow employee's life when they buy Wigglewow treats because a special label is placed on each package, which has information, such as the hobbies, on the employee who packaged that bag.
Pfeifer attributes Wigglewow's success with dogs to a secret ingredient, bacon. However, he credits Wigglewow's success as a for-profit business to his employees.
"People always think, "Oh you know, you're such a blessing to so many other people.' That's not it at all. I get so many blessings just seeing these individuals progress and learn new skills that even their parents didn't think they were capable of doing. And that just makes it all worthwhile," Pfeifer said.

Hey guys, I just need some help. I've done some research and can't find anything like it. I'm looking at a "2003 kx250" or at least that's what I'm told. However, the vin is 1KAKX11LC1YA013552. he sent me a picture of it stamped and it looks original but I can't find that vin when I look it up. Any ideas? He's only had the bike for a year now. He's a buddy of mine, but did he get a bike that was restamped or something?
got pics of the bike ?
He's suppose to send me more when he gets home.
He mistyped the vin... it's actually 1KAKXMLC1YA013552 but how come it won't come up as that when I quote insurance or try to view it on Kawasaki's website?
Thanks. I appreciate it. It still doesn't come up but if I change the 1 to a J it comes up as a 2000 kx250.
how much is he asking ?
It's a buddy of mine. Said he'd sell it to me with an extra set of excel wheels, a few extra parts, and gear for $1000. It's got an end pipe and brand new top end with 0 hours.
Is it worth it you think?
The first digit is the country code, "J" for Japan.
The first digit on this is definitely a 1 though.
I had the same issue with my bike i ended up calling kawasaki usa and they told me my vin was never made but if you change the one number it was a bike they had records of. They did a vin search and found out the bike was sold in ca to a race team the next registered in texas then back in cali and i now have it in nj. Bike is the same year as well. Moght just be a flaw in the manufacturing that wasnt corrected.
I appreciate that info. I think I'm gonna go ahead and pick it up this weekend.
"1" means made in the country of USA. Some previous owner caked on some powder coat and you can't tell a "J" from a "1" now. It was made in Japan, which means it has a "J" at the start of the VIN.
It is a 2000 Kawasaki KX250-L2.
Many parts from 1999 - 2002 will be the same, but check parts diagrams to be sure.
The service manual is $34.95 MSRP and will be the best money you ever spend on a bike.
The owner's manual can be viewed / downloaded for free from Kawasaki or purchased new for $15.95.
Some book learnin won't hurtcha. Look what it done done fer me.


Clinical trial: A study that is intended to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medications or medical devices by monitoring their effects on large groups of people. Studies may be conducted by government health agencies (such as the National Institutes of Health [NIH]), researchers affiliated with hospital or university medical programs, independent researchers, or individuals from private industry. Usually volunteers are recruited, although in some cases research participants may be paid. For some patients, clinical research trials represent an avenue for receiving promising new therapies that would not otherwise be available. Patients with difficult-to-treat or 'incurable' diseases may pursue participation in clinical research trials if standard therapies are not effective.

Q: Having a clickable background div but excluding foreground divs I have a page where I have to make the background be a clickable link, whilst having the foreground works okay. I managed to get the background clickable this way:

The problem is that now the site_main_container div is also clickable. How can I limit the click-ability to only site_background_container?
Thanks!!

A: Use jQuery. If the e.target is the same element as this, you've not clicked on a descendant.
$('#site_background_container').on('click', function(e) {
  if (e.target !== this) {
    return;
  }
  alert('clicked the site_background_container');
});

Have a look at the snippet below:

$('#site_background_container').on('click', function(e) {
  if (e.target !== this) {
    return;
  }
  alert('clicked the site_background_container');
});
#site_background_container {
  background: #ff0;
  padding: 20px;
}

#site_main_container {
  background: red;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  display: inline;
}

    Site Main Container

Hope this helps!

The United Nations' World Water Day—on March 22—will call attention to the importance of conserving water and keeping it clean wherever you live. We pay water bills for drinkable and usable water that's treated and purified for our safety in cities and rural areas. The world's water supply is finite. According to the U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, the Earth has 3% of fresh water and only 0.5% of that is readily available for consumption; it is for these reasons that everyone should conserve water every day, regardless of where they are located in the world.
You can save on your water costs and help the environment with special water-efficient appliances. Priority Plumbing has several suggestions for water conservation, so Ontario can continue to be a beautiful province rich in natural resources with abundant rain and snow.
Installing a simple faucet aerator on your kitchen and bathroom sinks will save water. An aerator is a little mesh screen placed over the faucet tip, and it's found at most hardware and home improvement stores for a few dollars. Homeowners can install an aerator themselves because it's simple and doesn't take up too much time.
Low-flow faucets that save about 20% of your water can also be purchased at home improvement stores. These attractive faucets are available in many styles, including the single lever models. They limit the flow to just over two gallons or 7.57 litres per minute.
Have a leaky faucet? Get it fixed as soon as you can because six drops in a minute equates to 1,200 litres of water in a year. Need a better idea? Picture seven bathtubs of water. Yes, that is quite a lot of money down the drain. For both the environment and your wallet's sake, don't ignore those drip, drip, drips.
People waste a lot of water when they turn on the tap for hot water. For a more efficient way to save water, opt for a hot water dispenser. The temperature can usually be adjusted, but it will always deliver hot water immediately. There are also models that have both hot and cold water for convenience.
When it comes to bath time, there's the debate about showers being better for water conservation than baths; however, if you have a 9.5L/min shower head and you take an eight-minute shower, you will have used 76 litres of water. What you can do is, switch to a flat shower head—even for your bathroom sink—that distributes the water evenly and keep your showers as short as possible. We do want you to properly clean yourself, after all, just don't dilly-dally!
Did you know that 30% of each person's water consumption within a household is used to flush the toilet? Modern toilets now come with high efficiency or dual flush mechanisms that save up to 65% of water. The dual flush mechanism provides you with option of using more water for solids, allowing you to control the quantity of water used.
Many new dishwashers and washing machines come with various timing programs. It's best to use these machines only when you have a full load of dirty dishes or laundry. To conserve the highest amount of water, set the timer for a quick wash and air dry the dishes instead. You can apply this same concept to your washing machine: use the short wash cycle for clothing whenever possible and dry your clothes on a rack to save energy.
You can also install an on-demand water heater that warms the water when you need it; this eliminates the need for a full hot water tank that is constantly heated with a gas flame or electricity.
Don't forget that you can expand your water conservation to around your property by considering the installation of an irrigation system, rain barrels, and other smart devices.
As you go about your daily routine, stop a minute and remember that the average Canadian in 2016 used 329 litres of water each day, according to Global News. Consider what you can do differently in your household to save water. Our experts will be happy to assist you.
At Priority Plumbing, we specialize in plumbing, heating, and drain systems. Our experts are professional in their manner and attire and are ready to solve your household plumbing problems. Contact us today at 416-762-8662 for all of your plumbing and heating needs!


Let's deal with it – a large influx of travelers visit Myrtle Beach for the weather and beaches. It's no surprise, as there are countless beaches to choose from, all with their fair share of destinations and marvel. For travelers and residents alike, Myrtle Beach beaches are a continuous source of happiness and enjoyment. Nonetheless, while downtown Myrtle Beach has its boardwalk and North Myrtle Beach has its small-town appeal, all the beaches have one significant thing in common – jet skis. Surfing and tanning may be popular, however, one look at the beaches and it's clear which activity transcends all others.
Jet Ski rentals Myrtle Beach essentially control the beach. Unlike surfing, which is more restricted to a certain population, this activity is a fun, inexpensive activity for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. With numerous reputable companies to choose from and the beaches to support them, it is no surprise that tourists from all over include jet skiing in their itinerary. The high variety of rental shops in the area keeps costs low and makes the activity quickly available.
While practically all beaches provide some sort of access to renting, the activity is incredibly popular in certain locations. Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach waters are understood to be full in high season (these beaches are not ideal for those looking for a roomy, quiet ocean). There are lots of jet ski rentals Myrtle Beach at these beaches, which leads to their occasional overcrowding in spite of the fact that they have to ride beyond surf lines.
While this activity is popular at the beaches, it is likewise easily accessible on the inter-coastal waterway. Little River and North Myrtle Beach are great areas to ride the waterway away from the crowd at the beaches. Watch our video below to see how great this area can be.
Make sure that you fully understand the rules for jet-skis and have gone through a safety course before venturing out into the open waterway or seashore. Also, check your sunscreen – you can get a bad sunburn while jet-skiing if you are not careful.
Myrtle Beach is a great area to enjoy nature – including dolphin watching. Despite the development of brand-new entertainment choices in the local area, jet skiing is poised to continue to be a favorite for a long time. From the beaches to the waterways, there countless areas to take part in this activity. It is family friendly and light on your wallet, making it an option for anybody. Myrtle Beach Jet Ski rentals are a well-established part of the areas summer activities.
Call us or stop by one of our three local locations to schedule your family jet ski rental today.

With so many brands to choose from, finding the right oil or gas for your vehicle can take time and effort. But don't worry will guide you to take your decision ideally.
If you've been looking for a place to fill your tank with gas, you've come to the right place. We've ranked the top 17 gas station chains in the US. These include Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, ConocoPhillips, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Murphy, Amoco Oil Company, Lukoil USA Inc., Texaco Inc., Speedway, Buc-ee's, Sheetz, Love's Travel Stop, RaceTrac, Aramark, and Gulf Oil Corporation.
The US's 17 largest gas station chains are Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, ConocoPhillips, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Murphy, Amoco Oil Company, Lukoil USA Inc., Texaco Inc., and Gulf Oil Corporation. These companies control an estimated 38% of the U.S. gasoline market and generate annual sales of more than $100 billion.
The top five gas station chains by market share are Shell (23%), ExxonMobil (20%), Chevron (16%), BP (14%), and ConocoPhillips (12%). The top five chains account for an estimated 62% of total gasoline sales in the U.S. The largest chain by location is Shell, with 2,740 stations in 49 states. The second largest chain is ExxonMobil, with 2,276 stations in 43 states.
The Gas Station chain in the US is diverse and varied. It can range from a small, country-style store to significant travel stops catering to truck drivers and late-night motorists. Many of these stores are also partnered with popular restaurant chains. These include RaceTrac, Sheetz, Speedway, and Love's Travel Stop.
RaceTrac
The RaceTrac Gas Station chain was created in 1934 through Carl Bolch Sr., who purchased a small collection of independent stations in Alabama. In the late 1960s, Bolch grew the company by buying the Oil Well Company, which operated several independent outlets in Alabama and Georgia. He also named his nephew, Carl Bolch Jr. as the chief executive. Since then, RaceTrac has expanded by opening its stores and has also sold less-profitable stores to allow independent operations. There are currently around 500 RaceTrac locations across the US.
RaceTrac operates more than 600 convenience stores across the US under the RaceTrac and RaceWay brands. RaceTrac offers a Rewards Program called RaceTrac Rewards, which allows customers to earn points with each gallon of gasoline they purchase and redeem them at locations that are participating RaceTrac locations. For customers with the fleet card, RaceTrac gives fleet credit card rewards for 30 days after the purchase.

Love's Travel Stop
The Love's Travel Stop gas station chain is an American gas station chain that has a distinctive business model. The initial idea was to create a convenience store with self-serve gasoline pumps. It was a revolutionary idea in the early days, and Love continues to invent and grow to meet customers' demands. The company now provides roadside assistance as well as tire maintenance services.
The Love's Travel Stop chain has over 550 stores across the United States and about 21,000 employees. Love's Travel Stops are known for its convenience stores open 24 hours a day and offer fuel and other things to travel with. Some locations also have bathrooms and hookups for RVs.

Sheetz
The family-owned business began as a single convenience store in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and today operates more than 600 stores in six states. The company has built its reputation through its services and has won many awards. While it is not the largest chain of gas stations in the US, Sheetz is widely respected.
In 1967, the Sheetz brothers opened their first store. By 1972, they planned to have seven stores and 14 by 1973. By the end of the 1970s, the Sheetz company had grown to fourteen stores. They started selling gas and installed the first self-serve gas pumps in central Pennsylvania. The brothers became president and chief executive officer in 1980 and had more than one hundred stores by 1983.
In 2015, the company started offering E15 fuel in its gas stations. The initiative aims to help customers save money by providing better fuel. In addition to offering lower prices, E15 fuel attracts a greater volume of traffic, which is good for business.
Sheetz is an upscale convenience store and gas station chain with more than 500 stores in the Mid-Atlantic States, like Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina. Sheetz offers low gas prices, friendly service, and a range of choices for food. Its locations are open 24 hours all hours.

While this is good news for consumers, there is one major downside: it can also lead to price gouging. This is particularly common in the energy industry, known for its booms and busts. Chevron, one of the US's 17 largest gas station chains, is not alone in this. Several other large oil companies, including Shell and Exxon Mobil, have faced price gouging in recent years, and they, too, are trying to find ways to lower their prices.
Chevron is one of the largest gas station chains in the US, with nearly 7,800 stores across the country. Its headquarters are in San Ramon, California, at 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road. The company employs more than 59,000 people worldwide, including 5,800 workers in service stations. As of 2007, Chevron had 10.8 billion net proved reserves and produced 2.62 million net oil-equivalent daily barrels. Its oil refining capacity was 2 million barrels (350,000 m3) per day. The company also has a global marketing network of 24,000 retail sites across six continents.

In the last decade, the company has taken a number of steps to fight global warming. Its oil-production activities have led to several environmental lawsuits, and its social policies have been criticized in some countries. Despite the criticism, Chevron's supporters point to several company corporate culture changes. In 2004, the company pledged to reduce its carbon footprint and is investing about $300 million a year into renewable natural gas and other alternatives.
The company has diversified its business, with some of its assets acquired through mergers. In June 1998, Chevron combined its natural gas liquids businesses with NGC Corp., which had been an integrated natural gas services company since 1994. On February 1, 2000, Illinova Corp., a company listed on the NYSE, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynegy, Inc. Chevron also acquired a 28 per cent stake in Dynegy.

Seven & I Holdings, the parent firm of 7-Eleven and the world's biggest convenience retailer, has signed a deal to purchase the Speedway gas station chain in the US for $21 billion. The deal will provide Seven & I access to around 3,900 locations across the US. Furthermore, the acquisition will grant Seven & I a presence in 47 of the 50 biggest metropolitan areas.
The Speedway Gas Station chain is a chain of convenience stores and gasoline stations primarily located throughout the Midwest. The headquarters of the company is in Ohio. Speedway has expanded into new markets and regions throughout its lengthy existence. In December 2019, it was believed that the Speedway chain is in more than thirty states, primarily within Ohio and other Midwestern states. Below the locations of the chain are highlighted.

Buc-ee's
Alongside having some of the cleanest and most modern convenience shops in the US and Canada, Buc-ee's gas Station brand is recognized for its bathroom facilities. They've always been an integral element of the Buc-ee's service and are often advertised as clean, welcoming and filled with toiletries. Their bathrooms are generally regarded as having the best facilities in the United States. In fact, in 2019, GasBuddy gave them the highest ranking of bathrooms across the US.
The Buc-ee's Gas Station chain is currently expanding and building bigger facilities. One of the locations is the largest fuel station in the entire state. The company's latest plans are to construct even larger stations within Luling, Texas, and Sevierville, Tennessee.
With a long history in Texas and one of the largest gas station chains in the country, Buc-ee's has managed to remain a popular local spot and continues to grow in popularity. It's a popular choice for cheap gas and large-sized food and has a fascinating backstory, including a gas price feud and an identity theft scandal.

Even though Buc-ee's is one of the 17 largest gas station chains in the US, there have been a few controversy-filled stories about the chain's expansion plans in the region. One of the most recent was an ongoing dispute with residents of Efland, a town located 25 minutes west of Chapel Hill, NC. Residents were concerned about the potential traffic congestion, pollution of the protected watershed, and aesthetic sensibilities. Despite these challenges, Buc-ee's has expanded its footprint throughout the South, opening new locations in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
Buc-ee's locations are not just prominent, but they are also impressive. The New Braunfels Buc-ee's in Texas is one of the largest in the world, measuring more than 66,335 square feet. Its restrooms are reportedly the best in the state and one of the largest in the country. And it has the longest car wash in the world, with a 225-foot conveyor bringing cars through the centre.
The Buc-ee's restrooms are known for their cleanliness and friendly service. You can get your car fixed and purchase themed clothing and bumper stickers for your vehicle. All of these factors make Buc-ee's restrooms a must-see for many travellers.

Exxon is one of the 17 largest US gas station chains and boasts more than 5,000 locations. Its profits rose in the third quarter largely due to increased oil production. Its refineries achieved the highest output in North America and worldwide since 2008, producing nearly 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent daily, a record. The company also boasts increasing production in the Permian Basin, one of the richest oil fields in the U.S.
Despite being one of the largest gas station chains, Exxon often skirts the bottom of customer satisfaction surveys conducted by GasBuddy. However, its rewards program helps customers save three to six cents per gallon when they purchase premium fuel. The company also offers a gas credit card with bonus rewards and benefits. This card also offers online account management and monthly itemization, which can help track your gas expenditures.

Exxon is one of many companies with gas stations across the US. According to the National Association of Convenience Stores, over 60 per cent of retail stations in the US are owned by individuals or families. Most of these individual owners make their pricing decisions based on various factors.
Exxon Mobil is the largest publicly traded oil company in the world. It was founded in 1863 in Cleveland, Ohio, as an oil-refining business. By 1880, it controlled about ninety per cent of all oil production in the U.S. and sold most of its gas stations. However, in 2018, the company announced that it would invest $50 billion over five years to expand its business across the U.S. and create thousands of jobs.
ExxonMobil has come under fire over its environmental record, including its contribution to global warming. According to the Political Economy Research Institute, ExxonMobil has the fifth highest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions among US corporations. However, this number is still below the five major oil companies.
