Juba, 01 March 2023: Yesterday was a day of pride for 202 UNMISS peacekeepers from Nepal, including 36 women, as they received the prestigious United Nations medal for their service to the cause of durable peace across South Sudan, at a time when subnational violence and displacement is rising. However, true to the tradition of the Gurkhas that they hail from, the mission’s Nepalese peacekeepers remained committed to preventing conflict, protecting civilians and keeping up the highest standards of operational readiness.

One thing I hate about Kuwait is the lack of decent clothing for men. Yeah we got some cool high end stuff here, but the low end really lacks. I wear tshirts most of the time and there aren't many places that sell some cool ones here. Debenhams has the Billabong brand but their collection is small and one good brand doesn't cut it. So, I am forced to do all my shopping online. For sneakers I usually buy the brand DC Shoes. From all the skateboarding shoes I have ever bought, they are the most durable and comfortable. I don't skateboard by the way, I just like their clothes. For pants, Zoo York are the most durable ones I have and Stussy the most comfortable. Tshirts... I enjoy experimenting with a lot of brands. My favorite tshirt brand is definitely Drunknmunky which makes up a good percentage of my tshirts. Other tshirt brands I like are Habitat, Zoo York, Ezeikel, Fallen and Osiris. As you can see, none of these brands are sold in Kuwait, which a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. It sucks because I can't go to a shop and buy a tshirt whenever I feel like it, but its also a good thing because at-least now I know when I wear a tshirt I will most probably never run into someone else who has the same one. Today I got two tshirts in the mail, a Zoo York one and a Fallen one. I will probably order some more next week. My problem is that I am a Large size and Large and medium usually are the first to finish..
These were also from a successful "bottom fishing" expedition.
I had purchased, new, a pair of Vibram Five Fingers, with nice suede uppers, size 40, a few years ago after a neighbor showed me his well worn pair and told me how he liked them and wore them to death.
I found them rather disappointing. The soles were too thick for my tastes, far less "ground feel" than some of my thin soled regular shoes, and obviously less than my barefoot shoes with no or almost no soles. also the size 40 seemed large to me, even though they were supposedly the right size. Finally, they were just too durable! They didn't show any wear. Of course I'm not a runner, which may be why they didn't wear out. So those got less and less use.
Then I saw these on Ebay, actually two pair, both "pre worn out" to different degrees. size 38, and no competing bids, so I won them.
The previous occupant must have been left footed, as the left shoe is much more worn than the right. The sole on the big toe is worn through and the nylon between the toes is holey. There is a (still small) hole in the ball of the left shoe, but the remaining rubber is very thin and has bubbled away from the fabric liner, an indication of good things (big holes) to come. The right shoe isn't as worn but should soon catch up.
The size 38 is a much better fit, I'd even try a 36 next time.
The other pair is well worn, but not nearly as worn. They will be stored away for future possible use. Meanwhile I've worn these quite a bit, they are much better than the new ones I initially bought.

Durable notes, shedding impatient grandeur,
and when they, upon their wings, do soar -
I see eloquent shades uplifting, enveloping uproar,
Mixing metaphors, my heart can hurt no more.
I rise, I fly, I glide well high,
my effort, little and with subtle tilt of wings,
climbs over her visage, her sight slightly cries,
swiftly gained yet gainsaid shadows bring
me crashing back to transient sighs.
Rejecting doubt, rather, believe in love,
Radiant, enveloping, completely without abandon.
Heed pure words offered with honest candor,
Eloquence comes rarely, as the wings of a dove,
genuine sincerity is offered up once more.
Wrote this after the Pittsburgh Symphony performance last night.

The American Telephone & Telegraph Company Building, designed by noted architect William Welles Bosworth and constructed in three phases from 1912 to 1922, is an important example of Greek-inspired neo-Classical design. Envisioned by company president Theodore Newton Vail as a grand corporate symbol, the building was designed to create an impression of quality, durability, and permanence expressive of the Telephone Company’s commitment to public service.
Its architect, Welles Bosworth, was a prominent designer of classical buildings and a leading preservation architect and this, his only large-scale office building, is considered one of his finest works. Inspired by Greek and Roman precedents, the facades of the American Telephone and Telegraph Building are clad in Vermont granite and incorporate nine superimposed colonnades, with eight three-story high Ionic colonnades based on the order of the then recently excavated Temple of Sardis stacked on a double-height base of colossal columns copied from the Doric order of the Athenian Parthenon.
The impression of solidity is enhanced by the use of stone spandrel panels at the base of each story grouping which contrast with bronze spandrels and window frames in the upper two-thirds of the bays. The spacing of the bays on Dey Street and certain other features of the design reflect the theories of Professor William H. Goodyear regarding Greek architectural practice and were intended to create a sense of “rhythmic beauty.” The facades are beautifully detailed with Greek-inspired ornament, including swags, and wreaths, lion heads, frets, paterae, anthemia, and delicate foliate reliefs.
The concern for classical detailing also extended to the articulation of the subway stair enclosures on Dey and Fulton Streets and to the southbound platform of the Fulton Street IRT subway where the A level basement Broadway facade of the 1912-16 portion of the building was faced with granite and given special bronze gates and shop windows enriched with classical motifs.
The western end of the building which contained the company’s executive offices is surmounted by a small Ionic temple with a stepped roof modeled on the mausoleum of Halicarnasus and is capped by a golden orb which originally supported a gilded bronze figure of The Genius of Electricity. From 1916 until 1983, this building was the headquarters of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the largest corporation in the world for much of the twentieth century. It remains in use as an office building.
The American Telephone and Telegraph Company Building is located on an irregular lot that extends approximately 154 feet along Broadway, 275 feet along Dey Street, and 200 feet along Fulton Street. The major portion of the building is twenty-six stories high (the double-height lobby space counting as two stories) and is surmounted by a twenty-seventh attic story housing mechanical equipment that was installed in 1959-61. The northwest corner of the building at 170 Dey Street rises to twenty-nine stories and is treated as a tower. The building has five basement stories. The southern portion of the Broadway facade of the A level basement story fronts onto the southbound platform of the Fulton Street IRT subway and is also included in this exterior designation.
The three major facades and the tower are clad in white Vermont granite. Except for the tower wing on Fulton Street, the facades are articulated with nine superimposed orders consisting of a double-height base of colossal Doric columns surmounted by eight three-story high Ionic colonnades. The tower is articulated with a tripartite design incorporating a three story base, twenty-three-story shaft, and three-story crown capped by a stepped pyramid. The southern portion of the west wall of the Fulton Street wing and the northern rear wall of the Dey Street wing, both visible from Fulton Street, and the small sliver of Dey Street wing’s western wall visible from Church Street are clad with light colored brick. The major facades retain their original bronze entrance and first-story window enframements, although a few windows have been altered to create display windows and some entries have been adapted for wheelchair access. (The windows and doors vary in configuration from facade to facade and are described below). All of the bronze metalwork has been painted gold and the inset nickel relief panels are painted silver. A large portion of the bronze grilles that were employed at the base of the building have been removed. These were originally fixed in front of the window glass on both the bottom and upper tier of windows and were employed for the paired sliding doors that were pushed into pockets behind the lower tier of sidelights during the day and pulled shut at night to protect the rotating door entries. When the 1920s addition was constructed and the main entrance to the building was moved from Dey Street to Broadway, the revolving door entrance bays were modified by adding spandrel panels designed by the sculptor Paul Manship over the entries (now replaced with copies) and by removing the upper range of grilles. Other grilles were removed from the Dey Street facade. In the 1980s, when Peter Kalikow acquired the building, many more grilles were removed, but a few original grilles still survive (see below). The upper stories have their original bronze one-over-one sash windows. The majority of the window openings on the secondary facades have been sealed. The surviving windows have one-over-one sashes.
Broadway Facade
Base: The double-height Broadway facade is organized into eight-major bays. These are divided into two four bay groups by a massive pier faced with pilasters at the center of the facade which marks the junction of the original (1912-16) portion of the building and the (1920-22) addition. Heavy piers also frame the corners of the facade. Between the piers the bays are articulated with three freestanding Doric columns copied from the Doric order of the Parthenon in Athens. The columns and piers support a Doric entablature. The corner piers have non-historic medallions which feature the building’s logo based on the cross axial pattern used for the bronze grilles and read “195 Broadway,” “L&L Holdings.” A non-historic sign between the two pilasters bears the logo of the Thomson Financial corporation. Below it a bronze plaque reads “195 Broadway - Built in 1923 as the Headquarters for American Telephone and Telegraph - William Welles Bosworth, Architect.” Non-historic metal brackets are attached to the sides of the center pier to hold the ropes for the two flagpoles above. The north side of the center pier has some large areas of staining/ dark patching. Dark bands of stain/patching appear above each drum on the second column (reading north to south).
Bay 1 (reading north to south) was altered in 1939 to create a show window for AT&T’s Precision Clock display. This historic window has a bronze surround with a paneled bulkhead at its base, slender pilasters framing the edges of the window and crowning entablature with an inlaid nickel frieze decorated with a rinceau pattern. A historic round bronze handrail extends in front of the window. The upper portion of the bay retains its original three-light bronze window frame characterized by the slender mullions that frame the panes and by the decorative bronze spandrel panels ornamented with foliate forms that cap the windows. The openings in Bays 2 and 3 are divided into a wide center bay and narrower sidelights to accommodate revolving door enclosures. The bulkheads at the base of the sidelights are decorated with fielded panels. The mullions that separate the bays are treated with pilasters with inset nickel panels decorated with scrolled foliate reliefs and capitals ornamented with palmettes and egg-and-dart moldings. The mullions support narrow cornices decorated with nickel relief bands. The bronze revolving door enclosures and the revolving doors are original. The enclosures are ornamented with pilasters to match the treatment of the mullions. The bronze-and- glass revolving doors have four closely spaced push bars ornamented with palmettes. Above the entries are spandrel panels with copies of Paul Manship’s sculptural reliefs flanked by decorative panels. The panel in Bay 2 has a female figure personifying water; Bay 3 has a male figure symbolizing fire. Capping the spandrels are rows of anthemion antefixae. The second tier of windows retains its original mullions and friezes. In both bays, the center pane of glass been painted with the numerals “195”. Bays 4 and 5 retain their original frames with four-over-four fixed lights crowned by decorative bronze spandrel panels. In the lower tier of windows, the center lights are slightly projected and are set off by decorative bronze and nickel pilasters and stylized pediments crowned with anthemion antefixae. Bays 6 and 7 are also entrance bays which match Bays 2 and 3 in their configuration and design. Bay 7 retains its original bronze grilles on the sidelights flanking the revolving door entry. The revolving door in bay 6 has been replaced with a-historic metal-and-glass door and sidelight for wheelchair accessibility. Bay 6 is surmounted with a spandrel panel representing Wind, bay 7’s panel represents Earth. Bay 8 has four-over-four windows and matches bays 4 and 5.
Upper Stories: The upper stories are arranged into eight three-story groupings set off by giant fluted Ionic half-columns and pilasters and entablatures with prominent denticulated cornices. The arrangement of piers and columns is identical to that of the base except that each bay contains a pair of windows separated by stone mullions. The windows at the base of each three story grouping support wide stone spandrel panels capped by cornices. This treatment was intended to give “a solidity to the structure and provide a contrast with the lightness of the upper two-thirds of the orders” which are grouped together by connecting bronze frames with spandrel panels decorated with stylized Ionic columns and rondels between the upper and lower windows. The spandrel panels above the third story are embellished with swags. The frieze of the entablature above the twenty-sixth story is enriched with wreaths and its cornice is decorated with lion heads. The twenty-sixth story is surmounted by a high parapet wall articulated with pilasters at the center and corners of the building. All of the upper story windows retain their original bronze one-over-one sashes. Two flagpoles rest on the cornice above the base section of the facade and are anchored into the masonry surrounds of the third story windows in the bays flanking the center pier.
Attic: The non-historic mechanical attic story set slightly back from the parapet wall was installed between 1959 and 1961. It has regularly spaced piers which frame panels of corrugated metal siding. A non-historic iron railing extends along the edge of the roof.
Dey Street Facade
Base: The long Dey Street facade is organized into a 4-1-4-1-4 composition with three four-bay columned sections separated by plainer recessed bays. Except for the inclusion of intermediate bays the articulation of the columns and piers is repeated from the Broadway facade. To compensate for the downward slope of Dey Street the columns and piers rest on a stone plinths which increase in height at the western end of the facade. Steps are employed in front of the columned sections of the facade except for the westernmost four bays where the plinths are so high they permit street level entrances. The small step in the first bay at the corner of Broadway and Dey Street has been cut back to provide wheelchair access. The corner piers have non-historic medallions which feature the building’s logo and read “195 Broadway,” “L&L Holdings.” The four westernmost plinths are articulated with large recessed panels which are almost entirely filled by non-historic signs. The western three plinths have signs for Starbucks Coffee, the other pier advertises B & CO – Baguettes & Company. The small openings for ventilation grilles beneath the window in bay 5 appear to be original. The eastern opening beneath the window in bay appears to have been greatly enlarged.
Fenestration and Entries: On Dey Street the first four bays (reading east to west from Broadway) are arranged into three tiers of wide center bays and narrower sidelights. The framing elements around the windows are somewhat heavier than on Broadway and it appears that the second tier sidelights are or were operable casements. The decorative elements are very similar to those employed for the Broadway facade with the street level middle bays set off by pilasters and stylized pediments decorated with anthemion acroteria.
As on Broadway decorative nickel panels are set into the pilasters and the friezes over the first tier of windows. Decorative spandrel panels cap the top tier of windows. The center opening of bay 1 originally contained paired bronze and glass doors. These have been replaced by a wider non-historic metal and glass door and a narrower non-historic operable sidelight to provide wheelchair access. The middle opening of bay 2 retains its original projecting enclosure sheltering a staircase down to the subway. It is also bronze with nickel trim and is decorated with the same elements as the storefronts including the crowning acroteria.
It has been modified by the addition of a non-historic roll-down gate with its housing set just below the frieze and side tracks attached to the corner piers that frame the entry. The center openings at street level in Bays 3 and 4 contain a pair of windows which are separated by a narrow mullion. Approached by a short flight of steps windows look like they might have been doorways but apparently were fixed. Bay 5 is a recessed transitional bay which retains its original nine-light window arranged in a three-over-threeover-three pattern with decorative spandrel panels capping the top tier of windows. Bays 6, 7, 8, and 9 were the main entrances to the 1912-16 portion of the building leading to the main elevator court. Like the entries on Broadway they are articulated into a wide center bay and narrower sidelights to accommodate revolving door enclosures. As in bays 1-4 the center bays are framed by pilasters and capped by a pediment with acroteria. To signalize the importance of these bays only a single upper tier of very tall narrow windows is employed. These are capped by decorative spandrel panels. In the 1960s, when the floor level was raised in this section of the lobby, the revolving doors were removed from bays 7 and 8.
The sliding outer doors were then permanently closed preserving the original bronze grilles on both the doors and sidelights at street level. Bays 6 and 9, which continue to be used as entrances, also retain their original grilles for the sidelight windows at Street level. They retain their original revolving doors and revolving doors Bay 10 is a recessed transitional bay which matches bay 5 in its configuration and design. Bays 11, 12, 13, and 14 comprise the original portion of the facade from the first phase of the building’s development in 1912-14. They have a slightly different configuration than the other windows employing three tiers of wide center bays and sidelights but incorporating the set of Paul Manship spandrel panels (now replaced) between the second and third tier of windows and eliminating the foliate spandrel panels that cap the other window bays. Bay 11 retains its original revolving door and revolving door enclosure. Bay 14 also originally had a matching door but it was replaced by non-historic paired glass doors to create a non-historic wheelchair accessible entrance. Bays 12 and 13 have one large center window opening at street level.
In addition to the changes to the entries, changes to this facade include the replacement of the Manship sculptural panels with copies [Check] and the incorporation of small flagpoles for banners anchored to the transom bars just beneath the spandrels in bays 12 and 13.
Upper Stories: The design of the upper stories on Dey Street is identical with that of the Broadway facade except for the introduction of the intermediary bays. They are articulated very simply with only a sill course setting off the second tier of window in each three story unit. All of the original bronze one-over-one windows survive. Non-historic flagpoles are anchored next to the third-story windows in the transitional bays.
Fulton Street Facade
The Fulton Street facade is comprised of two parts: the three-bay-wide facade of the tower, which formed part of the original 1912-16 building and is treated independently, and the nine bay wide facade of the 1920-22 addition, which extends westward from Broadway to the tower.
For the relatively short facade of the addition, Bosworth abandoned the four-bay divisions he had used on Broadway and Dey Street instead stretching his colonnades westward for eight uninterrupted bays to a plain recessed transitional bay with a single file of windows.
1920-22 Addition Base: The articulation of the piers and columns is identical with that of the Dey Street and Broadway facade except for the number of bays incorporated in the colonnaded sections of the facades. As on Dey Street the columns and piers rest on stone plinths which increase in height at the western end of the facade to compensate for the downward slope of the site. Steps are employed in front of the columned sections of the facade except for the western transitional bay. (That bay originally also had steps and was used as an entry to the Benedict Brothers Jewelry store but they were removed and the entrance was filled in after the store closed in 1939.)
The framing piers at the corner of Broadway and Fulton Street and between bays 8 and 9 (reading east to west from Broadway) have non-historic medallions which feature the building’s logo and read “195 Broadway,” “L&L Holdings. The base of the transitional bay is decorated with a molded course and paterae presumably installed when the bay was modified in 1939.
Fenestration and Entries: The fenestration of the base matches that of the first four bays on Dey Street. The openings are arranged into three tiers of wide center bays and narrower sidelights.
A historic photograph of the facade published in 1923 shows that bronze grilles were employed for all of the street level doors and windows but were not used for the upper tiers of windows. The base of Bay 1 has been modified by the insertion of a historic bronze display case installed by the mid-1950s. The case is decorated with recessed panels at its base and inset nickel panels on its mullions and cornice to match the window articulation. The case does not seem to have damaged the original framing elements and decoration. Identical display cases were installed in Bays 3, and 4 but were removed c. 1990. Bay 2 has a subway entrance enclosure that originally was identical in design to the entry on Dey Street.
In 1940 this enclosure was modified by the architectural firm of Voorhees Walker Foley & Smith who installed a window at the back of the enclosure and installed lights on the ceiling and rear jambs.70 The sidelights that flank the entry were also modified with grillework set behind rather than in front of the window glass. Bay 5 was originally an entrance bay with a revolving door but was altered to match the fenestration in bays 3 and 4 and like them had a show window, now removed; bay 6 retains its original revolving door and bronze enclosure and has an original grille on its east sidelight. The tall opening in bay 9 which originally contained an entry is now filled with a non-historic louvered grille.
Upper Stories: The arrangement of bays is identical to that of the base except that each bay encompasses a pair of windows, excepting the transitional bay which still has only a single line of windows. At the third and fourth stories the transitional bay contains non-historic louvered grilles. All of the other windows on this facade retain their historic one-over-one bronze sashes.
The Tower
This narrow (thirty-three feet-wide), 422 feet tall wing, which originally towered over the other buildings on Fulton Street, was treated as campanile-type skyscraper.
It is articulated with a tripartite design featuring an elaborately detailed three story base, a sparely decorated granite-faced mid-section that rises unbroken twenty-two-stories, and the crowning tower. Base The lower section was articulated with a giant order Ionic half-column set in antis between Doric pilasters. Originally the street level bays contained an entry to the main lobby and a shopfront. The bottom portion of the bays was removed and the bottom half of the column cut back to create a loading dock. Non-historic roll down gates have been inserted in each bay. Above the doors a non-historic projecting sheet metal fascia incorporating several recessed light fixtures spans the entry.
A wire extends from the fascia to a non-historic video camera which has been installed on the westernmost pier. Above the fascia are the surviving pediments decorated with acroteria from the original storefront and entry. At the second story each bay contains a pair of windows which are separated by a slender bronze Ionic column. The windows retain their original bronze one-over-one sashes. The second story is crowned by an entablature with a prominent denticulated cornice. At the third story the piers are articulated as pilasters inset with stone relief panels. These depict seated figures of Electricity holding a shield with the Western Union insignia and Demeter, the goddess of abundance, holding a torch. The center pilaster is embellished with a bronze lion monopodium flagpole holder (flagpole missing).
Each bay has two windows which retain their original one-overone sashes. A simple entablature crowns this story which acts as a transition to the largely undecorated mid-section
Mid-section: The twenty-two story mid-section is articulated with double pairs of windows framed by pilaster strips on the corner piers. The only decorative elements on this section of the facade are the swag frieze above the twenty-sixth story windows and the crowning cornice which continues the articulation of the cornice from the main section of the Fulton Street facade save for the omission of the lion heads. All of the windows in the mid-section retain their original one-over-one sashes.
Crown: All four faces of the top element of the tower are articulated. At its base is a pedestal which is very close in design to the parapet wall. The base supports a temple-like structure articulated by twelve giant engaged Ionic columns. These support an entablature with a frieze ornamented by paired wreaths and capped by a cornice ornamented with lion heads. Set between the columns are the bronze frames for two stories of original multi-light paired casement windows separated by bronze spandrels enriched with fret motifs and patera. This temple structure supports a stepped pyramidal stone roof which terminates in a plinth ornamented by a molded cornice and acroteria. Resting on the plinth is a gilded bronze orb that once supported a figure of Electricity by Evelyn Beatrice Longman which stood atop the tower from 1916 to 1980.
Secondary Facades Western elevation, Fulton Street Wing: Visible only where it projects beyond the adjacent Millennium Hotel, the lowest portion of the western elevation of the Fulton Street wing is a projecting section of masonry (probably the party wall of a now demolished building) which has been faced with stucco and scored to look like masonry blocks. From the third story to twelfth story the wall is parged.
Above the twelfth story the facade is divided into two vertical sections. The northern four bays are treated as the western facade of the tower. They are clad in granite and articulated with framing pilaster strips and crowned by a swagged frieze and cornice. Except for the top three stories all of windows have been bricked up (the southernmost of the top story windows is also sealed.) The south portion of the wall above the twelfth story is clad in cream colored brick and articulated with two lines of windows. All but the top three stories are sealed. The remaining windows on this facade have oneover-one sash. Both sections of the facade are capped by the building’s crowning cornice and parapet.
Northern elevation, Dey Street Wing: The northern elevation of the Dey Street is divided vertically into three sections.
The two end bays are the rear walls of two wings that flanked a light court at the rear of the original Dey Street section of the building. The court was filled in the 1960s and its north wall forms the mid-section of the facade. It is faced with non-historic cladding, probably pressed metal. The eastern side wing originally had three window bays at each story; all of the windows are now sealed. The western bay had a single line of windows of which only the upper three are not sealed. The cornice line and parapet are articulated on both the outer bays although on the eastern bay the area above the cornice was actually an attic story pierced by windows. The twenty-seventh floor corrugated metal enclosure for mechanical equipment is visible above the eastern wing.
Western elevation, Dey Street Wing: The narrow section of the west wall of the Dey Street wing that is not concealed by the Millennium Hilton Hotel is clad with cream brick trimmed with granite quoins, belt courses, cornice, and parapet. There is a non-historic window at street level modified from a entrance that was installed in the 1950s or 1960s. A small window opening has also been created just below the cornice line.

Take a close look at the construction of the "d" rings in the products we sell. A tether system is only as strong as its weakest link. Tether points on the inflatable are extremely durable. The "d" ring tethering System have been laboratory-tested and certified by Professional Engineers for use on all giant slides and all other types of inflatables.
Vinyl（PVCTarpaulin） Expose
At Pango Inflatable, the only products we sell are constructed from the finest coated vinyl. Unlike other vinyl producers, the Coated Vinyl are Lead-Free in addition to meeting the EN71 test by SGS. Lead-Free vinyl are a standard that has been that way since day one. Exposure to lead is dangerous to children. The products Pango Inflatable sell are safe from the effects of lead. As for durability, the materials are a weft inserted substrate, which makes any possible rips virtually impossible.
No Wax Surfaces
We provide removable sliding surfaces for every slides we made, While other only provide the normal vinyl, Inflatable vinyl is not naturally slippery, therefore, waxing has become a normal preparation for getting a slide ready for use. The removable sliding surface found the on the products we sell is a high polished urethane coating, which in turn reduces the need to wax.
Zipper with Flaps
Unlike others, Pango Inflatable sells products that are easy to use. For example, the deflation zipper utilizes a Velcro flap that covers the zipper, thus, less air is lost and zippers are not exposed to abrasion or mischief.
Blower Tube Strap
While most manufacturers tie their blower inflation tubes to the blower system, however, the products Pango Inflatable sells, utilizes a universal sleeve with a cinching Velcro strap. One- handed operation keeps the tube securely attached to the blower system.
Liquid Laminator
DWe do the Digital Printing in our factory, unlike most factory here in China, they do the printing outside and could not control the delivery time and the quality. igitally printed graphics are one thing, keeping those beautiful images durable as well scratch and fade resistant is quite another. Every digital image used within an inflatable sold by Pango Inflatable is clear-coated with a special liquid laminate that is vulcanized to the vinyl surface.
Finger-Safe Netting
Most bouncer manufacturers use 1" or 2" netting. A child bouncing can easily catch their fingers in that size of netting, thus serious injuries can happen. Only the Pango Inflatable could provide netting that even a small child's finger cannot penetrate. Yet, the netting is still transparent enough to allow for easy viewing.
Removable Covers
Virtually every area that your customers step, slide or climb upon is on a replaceable & easily removable vinyl cover. From climbing stairs, to entrance tunnel sleeves to sliding surfaces, Pango Inflatable only sells products that are designed for high-volume traffic.
Safety Door on Bouncers
Worried about children possibly falling out of a bouncer? Don't be. We got 3 points of reinforcement on the entrance of the bouncer which make the entrance very strong. Also we add the step outside the entrance following the AU and USA standards of jumping castle.
On-Staff Engineering and Designing
We do reinforce stitching at the fixion of D-ring. Four stitching line will share the tension of the bouncer. This made the D-ring last much longer and stronger. Other factory use other design of the fixion, but will not good for the tension sharing. Could find the differnce in the attached photos.
Cushion Designs
We do cushion between the wall and the base. When the kids bounce on the bouncer this parts bear most of the pressure, so this new design will make this parts much more strong and safety, while other factory only stitch to the base.

L'église-souvenir
Un témoignage durable
L'église-souvenir représente l'attachement profond du peuple acadien au lieu historique national du Canada de Grand-Pré.
Construite en 1922, grâce à des fonds recueillis lors d'une campagne de financement lancée auprès des communautés acadiennes de toute l' Amerique du Nord, l"église-souvenir symbolise l'essence du nationalisme acadien et le désir profondément enraciné de commémorer la tragédie de la Déportation.
L'achitecte René Fréchet de Moncton, au Nouveau-Brunswick, prépare les plans qui s'ispirent de l'architecture normande du XVIII ième siècle.
Memorial Church
An Enduring Tribute
The Memorial Church expresses the Acadians' strong attatchment to Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada.
Built in 1922, with funds raised from Acadian communities throughout North America, the Memorial Church symbolizes the spirit of Acadian nationalism and the deep-seated desire to commemorate the tragedy of the Deportation.
Architect René Fréchet of Moncton, New Brunswick, drew up the plans for the church, which reflect Normandy-style architecture of the 1700s.

From the canadian encyclopedia's website:
Soldiers rounding up terrified civilians, expelling them from their land, burning their homes and crops ‒ it sounds like a 20th century nightmare in one of the world's trouble spots, but it describes a scene from Canada's early history, the Deportation of the Acadians.
The Acadians had lived on Nova Scotia’s territory since the founding of Port-Royal in 1604. They established a small, vibrant colony around the Bay of Fundy, building dykes to tame the high tides and to irrigate the rich fields of hay. Largely ignored by France, the Acadians grew independent minded. With their friends and allies the Mi' kmaq, they felt secure, even when sovereignty over their land passed to Britain after 1713 (see Treaty of Utrecht).
In 1730 the British authorities persuaded the Acadians to swear, if not allegiance, at least neutrality in any conflict between Britain and France. But over the years the position of the Acadians in Nova Scotia became more and more precarious. France raised the stakes by building the great fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. In 1749 the English countered this threat by establishing a naval base at Halifax. In 1751 the French built Fort Beauséjour on the Isthmus of Chignecto and the English responded with Fort Lawrence, a stone's throw away.
While previous British governors had been conciliatory towards the Acadians, Governor Charles Lawrence was prepared to take drastic action. He saw the Acadian question as a strictly military matter. After Fort Beauséjour fell to the English forces in June 1755, Lawrence noted that there were some 270 Acadian militia among the fort's inhabitants ‒ so much for their professed neutrality.
In meetings with Acadians in July 1755 in Halifax, Lawrence pressed the delegates to take an unqualified oath of allegiance to Britain. When they refused, he imprisoned them and gave the fateful order for deportation.
Lawrence had strong support in his Council from recent immigrants from New England, who coveted Acadian lands. Traders from Boston frequently expressed wonder that an "alien" people were allowed to possess such fine lands in a British colony. On Friday, September 5, 1755 Colonel John Winslow ordered that all males aged 10 years and up in the area were to gather in the Grand-Pré Church for an important message from His Excellency, Charles Lawrence, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia. The decree that was read to the assembled and stated in part: "That your Land & Tennements, Cattle of all Kinds and Livestocks of all Sorts are forfeited to the Crown with all other your effects Savings your money and Household Goods, and you yourselves to be removed from this Province."
It was a New Englander, Charles Morris, who devised the plan to surround the Acadian churches on a Sunday morning, capture as many men as possible, breach the dykes and burn the houses and crops. When the men refused to go, the soldiers threatened their families with bayonets. They went reluctantly, praying, singing and crying. By the fall of 1755 some 1,100 Acadians were aboard transports for South Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Lawrence urged his officers not to pay the least attention "to any remonstrance or Memorial from any of the inhabitants." When Colonel John Winslow read the deportation order, he admitted that although it was his duty, it was "very disagreeable to my nature, make and temper." In a phrase that would not be out of place in many more recent atrocities he added "But it is not my business to animadvert, but to obey such orders as I receive."
Some Acadians resisted, notably Joseph Beausoleil Brossard, who launched a number of retaliatory raids against the British troops. Many escaped to the forests, where the British continued to hunt them down for the next five years. A group of 1,500 fled for New France, others to Cape Breton and the upper reaches of the Peticoudiac River. Of some 3,100 Acadians deported after the fall of Louisbourg in 1758, an estimated 1,649 died by drowning or disease, a fatality rate of 53 per cent.
Between 1755 and 1763, approximately 10,000 Acadians were deported. They were shipped to many points around the Atlantic. Large numbers were landed in the English colonies, others in France or the Caribbean. Thousands died of disease or starvation in the squalid conditions on board ship. To make matters worse, the inhabitants of the English colonies, who had not been informed of the imminent arrival of disease-ridden refugees, were furious. Many Acadians were forced, like the legendary Evangeline of Longfellow's poem, to wander interminably in search of loved ones or a home.
Although the Acadians were not actually shipped to Louisiana by the British, many were attracted to the area by the familiarity of the language and remained to develop the culture now known as "Cajun."
Back in Nova Scotia, the vacated Acadian lands were soon occupied by settlers from New England. When the Acadians were finally allowed to return after 1764, they settled far from their old homes, in St Mary's Bay, Chéticamp, Cape Breton, Prince Edouard Island and the north and east of present-day New Brunswick.
The expulsion proved to have been as unnecessary on military grounds as it was later judged inhumane. Lawrence's lack of imagination played as big a part as greed, confusion, misunderstanding, and fear.
The migrations of the Acadians to a new Acadia continued into the 1820s. Throughout the ordeal they maintained their sense of identity, as indeed they do today ‒ a remarkable demonstration of human will in the face of cruelty. (From the Canadian encyclopedia's website)

Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបន្ទាយស្រី) is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor in Cambodia. It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom.[1] Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art."
HISTORY
FOUNDATION & DEDICATION
Consecrated on 22 April 967 A.D., Bantãy Srĕi was the only major temple at Angkor not built by a monarch; its construction is credited to a courtier named Yajnavaraha / Yajñavarāha (modern Khmer: យជ្ញវរាហៈ), who served as a counsellor to king Rajendravarman II (modern Khmer: ព្រះបាទរាជេន្រ្ទវរ្ម័ន).The foundational stela says that Yajnavaraha, grandson of king Harsavarman I, was a scholar and philanthropist who helped those who suffered from illness, injustice, or poverty. His pupil was the future king Jayavarman V (r. 968- ca. 1001). Originally, the temple was surrounded by a town called Īśvarapura.
Yajñavarāha's temple was primarily dedicated to the Hindu god Śiva. Originally, it was carried the name Tribhuvanamaheśvara—great lord of the threefold world—in reference to the Shaivite linga that served as its central religious image. However, the temple buildings appear to be divided along the central east-west axis between those buildings located south of the axis, which are devoted to Śiva, and those north of the axis, which are devoted to Viṣṇu.
The temple's modern name, Bantãy Srĕi—citadel of the women, or citadel of beauty—is probably related to the intricacy of the bas relief carvings found on the walls and the tiny dimensions of the buildings themselves. Some have speculated that it relates to the many devatas carved into the walls of the buildings.
EXPANSION & REDICATION
Bantãy Srĕi was subject to further expansion and rebuilding work in the eleventh century. At some point it came under the control of the king and had its original dedication changed; the inscription K 194 from Phnoṃ Sandak, dated Monday, the 14th or 28 July 1119 A.D. records (line B 13) the temple being given to the priest Divākarapaṇḍita and being rededicated to Śiva. It remained in use at least until the fourteenth century according to the last known inscription K 569, dated Thursday, 8 August 1303 A.D.
RESTAURATION
The temple was rediscovered only in 1914, and was the subject of a celebrated case of art theft when André Malraux stole four devatas in 1923 (he was soon arrested and the figures returned). The incident stimulated interest in the site, which was cleared the following year, and in the 1930s Banteay Srei was restored through the first important use of anastylosis at Angkor whereby a ruined building or monument is restored using the original architectural elements to the greatest degree possible. Until the discovery of the foundation stela in 1936, it had been assumed that the extreme decoration indicated a later date than was in fact the case. To prevent the site from water damage, the joint Cambodian-Swiss Banteay Srei Conservation Project installed a drainage system between 2000 and 2003. Measures were also taken to prevent damage to the temples walls from nearby trees.
Unfortunately, the temple has been ravaged by pilfering and vandalism. When toward the end of the 20th century authorities removed some original statues and replaced them with concrete replicas, looters took to attacking the replicas. A statue of Shiva and his shakti Uma, removed to the National Museum in Phnom Penh for safekeeping, was assaulted in the museum itself.
MATERIALS & STYLE
Banteay Srei is built largely of a hard red sandstone that can be carved like wood. Brick and laterite were used only for the enclosure walls and some structural elements. The temple is known for the beauty of its sandstone lintels and pediments.
A pediment is the roughly triangular space above a rectangular doorway or openings. At Banteay Srei, pediments are relatively large in comparison to the openings below, and take a sweeping gabled shape. For the first time in the history of Khmer architecture, whole scenes of mythological subject-matter are depicted on the pediments.
A lintel is a horizontal beam spanning the gap between two posts. Some lintels serve a structural purpose, serving to support the weight of the superstructure, while others are purely decorative in purpose. The lintels at Banteay Srei are beautifully carved, rivalling those of the 9th century Preah Ko style in quality.
Noteworthy decorative motifs include the kala (a toothy monster symbolic of time), the guardian dvarapala (an armed protector of the temple) and devata (demi-goddess), the false door, and the colonette. Indeed, decorative carvings seem to cover almost every available surface. According to pioneering Angkor scholar Maurice Glaize, "Given the very particular charm of Banteay Srei – its remarkable state of preservation and the excellence of a near perfect ornamental technique – one should not hesitate, of all the monuments of the Angkor group, to give it the highest priority." At Banteay Srei, wrote Glaize, "the work relates more closely to the art of the goldsmith or to carving in wood than to sculpture in stone".
THE SITE
The site consists of three concentric rectangular enclosures constructed on an east-west axis. A causeway situated on the axis leads from an outer gopura, or gate, to the third or outermost of the three enclosures. The inner enclosure contains the sanctuary, consisting of an entrance chamber and three towers, as well as two buildings conventionally referred to as libraries.
THE OUTER GOPURA
The gopura is all that remains of the outer wall surrounding the town of Isvapura. The wall is believed to have measured approximately 500 m square, and may have been constructed of wood. The gopura's eastern pediment shows Indra, who was associated with that direction, mounted on his three-headed elephant Airavata. The 67 m causeway with the remains of corridors on either side connects the gopura with the third enclosure. North and south of this causeway are galleries with a north-south orientation.
THE THIRD (OUTER) ENCLOSURE
The third enclosure is 95 by 110 m; it is surrounded by a laterite wall breached by gopuras at the eastern and western ends. Neither pediment of the eastern gopura is in situ. The west-facing pediment is now located in the Musée Guimet in Paris.[18] It depicts a scene from the Mahabhārata in which the Asura brothers Sunda and Upasunda fight over the Apsara Tilottama. The east-facing pediment is lying on the ground. It depicts a scene from the Rāmāyaṇa in which a demon seizes Rama's wife Sita. Most of the area within the third enclosure is occupied by a moat divided into two parts by causeways to the east and west.
THE SECOND ENCLOSURE
The second enclosure sits between an outer laterite wall measuring 38 by 42 m, with gopuras at the eastern and western ends, and a brick inner enclosure wall, measuring 24 by 24 m. The western gopura features an interesting bas relief depicting the duel of the monkey princes Vāli and Sugriva, as well as Rāma's intervention on Sugrīva's behalf. The inner enclosure wall has collapsed, leaving a gopura at the eastern end and a brick shrine at the western. The eastern pediment of the gopura shows Śiva Nataraja; the west-facing pediment has an image of Durga. Likewise, the laterite galleries which once filled the second enclosure (one each to north and south, two each to east and west) have partially collapsed. A pediment on one of the galleries shows the lion-man Narasiṃha clawing the demon Hiranyakashipu.
THE FIRST (INNER) ENCLOSURE
Between the gopuras on the collapsed inner wall are the buildings of the inner enclosure: a library in the south-east corner and another in the north-east corner, and in the centre the sanctuary set on a T-shaped platform 0.9 m high. Besides being the most extravagantly decorated parts of the temple, these have also been the most successfully restored (helped by the durability of their sandstone and their small scale). In 2010, the first enclosure is open to visitors again, but the inner temples are roped off and inaccessible.
THE LIBRARIES
The two libraries are of brick, laterite and sandstone. Each library has two pediments, one on the eastern side and one on the western. According to Maurice Glaize, the four library pediments, "representing the first appearance of tympanums with scenes, are works of the highest order. Superior in composition to any which followed, they show true craftsmanship in their modelling in a skilful blend of stylisation and realism."
The east-facing pediment on the southern library shows Śiva seated on the summit of Mount Kailāsa, his mythological abode. His consort Umā sits on his lap and clings anxiously to his torso. Other beings are also present on the slopes of the mountain, arranged in a strict hierarchy of three tiers from top to bottom. In the top tier sit bearded wise men and ascetics, in the middle tier mythological figures with the heads of animals and the bodies of humans, and in the bottom tier large animals, including a number of lions. In the middle of the scene stands the ten-headed demon king Rāvaṇa. He is shaking the mountain in its very foundations as the animals flee from his presence and as the wise men and mythological beings discuss the situation or pray. According to the legend, Śiva stopped Rāvaṇa from shaking the mountain by using his toe to press down on the mountain and to trap Rāvana underneath for 1000 years.
The west-facing pediment on southern library shows Śiva again seated on the summit of Mount Kailāsa. He is looking to his left at the god of love Kāma, who is aiming an arrow at him. Umā sits to Śiva's right; he is handing her a chain of beads. The slopes of the mountain are crowded with other beings, again arranged in a strict hierarchy from top to bottom. Just under Śiva sit a group of bearded wise men and ascetics, under whom the second tier is occupied by the mythological beings with the heads of animals and the bodies of humans; the lowest tier belongs the common people, who mingle sociably with tame deer and a large gentle bull. According to the legend, Kāma fired an arrow at Śiva in order to cause Śiva to take an interest in Umā. Śiva, however, was greatly angered by this provocation, and punished Kāma by gazing upon him with his third eye, frying Kāma to cinders.
The east-facing pediment on the northern library shows the god of the sky Indra creating rain to put out a forest fire started by the god of fire Agni for purposes of killing the nāga king Takshaka who lived in Khandava Forest. The Mahābhāratan heroes Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna are shown helping Agni by firing a dense hail of arrows to block Indra's rain. Takṣaka's son Aśvasena is depicted attempting to escape from the conflagration, while other animals stampede about in panic.
The west-facing pediment on the southern library depicts Kṛṣṇa slaying his wicked uncle Kamsa.
THE SANCTUARY
The sanctuary is entered from the east by a doorway only 1.08 m in height: inside is an entrance chamber (or maṇḍapa) with a corbelled brick roof, then a short corridor leading to three towers to the west: the central tower is the tallest, at 9.8 m. Glaize notes the impression of delicacy given the towers by the antefixes on each of their tiers. The six stairways leading up to the platform were each guarded by two kneeling statues of human figures with animal heads; most of those now in place are replicas, the originals having been stolen or removed to museums.

There is an abundance of tires in the world! They are made of rubber which is extremely durable, but does not last forever, however, it does take a long time to decompose and can take a huge amount of space in landfill sites. Rubber is also present in other products; thankfully, the excess of this material is now being put to good use. Much of the excess rubber in the world is now being turned into flooring. This is because people have started to become aware of how flexible, durable and stylish a rubber floor can be. As demand increase, the number of tires in the landfill will begin to decrease.
History
Rubber flooring has been used in a commercial setting for many years; it has been recognized as helping to create a safe and sustainable environment for all employees. However, it is only in recent years that the interest in this type of flooring has been opened up to the personal homeowner. Architects and interior designers are bringing rubber flooring to the attention of the market as it is now designed in a huge range of colors and styles. It is also a sought after building and flooring material by anyone seeking to adopt a green approach to their home.
Recycle
Flooring is made from own tires and is, therefore, environmentally friendly. However, when it is no longer any use in your hole, due to deterioration or style change, it can be recycled again! There are many specialty firms which will take your old flooring and convert it into new mats or even covering for a sports arena. Should it have to be put into landfill, rubber flooring is much less harmful to the environment than the piles of tires which would be there.
Reasons to use rubber as flooring
Aside from its durability and environmental credentials there are several other reasons why it makes a good flooring for any room in your house:
Rubber flooring is a little bouncy which makes it extremely comfortable and supportive should you need to stand for any length of time. It also has enough bounce to prevent the majority of items from breaking when dropped on it; although not enough to make you feel like you are on a trampoline!
Sounds are absorbed by this floor making it an excellent sound barrier between levels in any property.
Non-slip. Rubber naturally provides a good grip to feet or shoes. This makes it a good choice for anyone who is at risk of falling over; it also provides a softer landing if you do fall.
Water and stain resistant. No matter which room you use the flooring in it will survive the odd spills which happen in a home. It is naturally water resistant making it easy to mop up a sill, and as the liquid does not soak in, it will not stain.
Heavy impact. The natural bounce of the rubber makes it exceptionally good at handling high impact loads without marking. This could be items dropped on it or even furniture stood on it.
Rubber is incredibly difficult to gauge or scuff, or even scratch. This makes it a good choice for any home with children or heavy-handed adults who may damage a floor quickly.
Maintenance is minimal. Any floor needs to be kept clean, and rubber is no different. But it does not require any particular maintenance precautions and will not take up your valuable time cleaning it.
Health and environment issue. There are none! There have been no health problems related to the use of rubber flooring, despite the fact that it has been used for many years commercially. It is also increasingly environmentally friendly. Not only it is recycled and can be recycled again; it is produced from the sap of the rubber tree, a resource that is being renewed as quickly as it is being used.
If you are thinking about changing your flooring, take a look at the variety of rubber floors on offer; you may be pleasantly surprised! Select from a variety of models available in the market, and transform your space into a comfortable, soft, and waterproof zone.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are studying pieces of ancient glass that were recently retrieved from two 1,800-year-old shipwrecks and ruins to assist in research efforts for safely storing nuclear waste. One way to store HLW safely is to turn it into durable glass through a process called vitrification. Glass dissolves slowly and it is difficult to understand changes that happen over thousands or even a million years. Unlocking the mechanisms of glass corrosion behavior has significant implications on DOE’s current vitrification methods and storage of nuclear waste.
Made from galvanized, durable ductile iron, meter racks easily slide on to former parking meter posts that have had their heads removed following DOT’s installation of new, user-friendly muni meters. By taking advantage of already-installed infrastructure, the meter racks eliminate the cost of removing old posts combined with the cost of installing an entirely new bike rack.
The new meter rack’s design is based on the standard “Hoop” rack designed by Ian Mahaffy and Maarten De Greeve, which was selected as the winner of a DOT and Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum-sponsored competition in 2008.
6,000 racks will be installed at meters citywide to help meet the city's growing demand for public bike parking.

Not just fit and finish, Pango make a second blower tube and hide it if not use. We make the two tubes on different of the bouncer so that could fit the power location. Looking down the road you will find you need a second inflation tube. We want to make sure clients could use the bouncer convenient.
Stronger Baffles
Baffles that are secured by a 840 denier material that provides the MAXIMUM strength of the internal baffling of every inflatables. This material upgrade is unmatched by anyone else in the industry. This material is key to the overall durability of the products we sell.
D Ring Expose
Take a close look at the construction of the "d" rings in the products we sell. A tether system is only as strong as its weakest link. Tether points on the inflatable are extremely durable. The "d" ring tethering System have been laboratory-tested and certified by Professional Engineers for use on all giant slides and all other types of inflatables.
Vinyl（PVCTarpaulin） Expose
At Pango Inflatable, the only products we sell are constructed from the finest coated vinyl. Unlike other vinyl producers, the Coated Vinyl are Lead-Free in addition to meeting the EN71 test by SGS. Lead-Free vinyl are a standard that has been that way since day one. Exposure to lead is dangerous to children. The products Pango Inflatable sell are safe from the effects of lead. As for durability, the materials are a weft inserted substrate, which makes any possible rips virtually impossible.
No Wax Surfaces
We provide removable sliding surfaces for every slides we made, While other only provide the normal vinyl, Inflatable vinyl is not naturally slippery, therefore, waxing has become a normal preparation for getting a slide ready for use. The removable sliding surface found the on the products we sell is a high polished urethane coating, which in turn reduces the need to wax.
Zipper with Flaps
Unlike others, Pango Inflatable sells products that are easy to use. For example, the deflation zipper utilizes a Velcro flap that covers the zipper, thus, less air is lost and zippers are not exposed to abrasion or mischief.
Blower Tube Strap
While most manufacturers tie their blower inflation tubes to the blower system, however, the products Pango Inflatable sells, utilizes a universal sleeve with a cinching Velcro strap. One- handed operation keeps the tube securely attached to the blower system.
Liquid Laminator
DWe do the Digital Printing in our factory, unlike most factory here in China, they do the printing outside and could not control the delivery time and the quality. igitally printed graphics are one thing, keeping those beautiful images durable as well scratch and fade resistant is quite another. Every digital image used within an inflatable sold by Pango Inflatable is clear-coated with a special liquid laminate that is vulcanized to the vinyl surface.
Finger-Safe Netting
Most bouncer manufacturers use 1" or 2" netting. A child bouncing can easily catch their fingers in that size of netting, thus serious injuries can happen. Only the Pango Inflatable could provide netting that even a small child's finger cannot penetrate. Yet, the netting is still transparent enough to allow for easy viewing.
Removable Covers
Virtually every area that your customers step, slide or climb upon is on a replaceable & easily removable vinyl cover. From climbing stairs, to entrance tunnel sleeves to sliding surfaces, Pango Inflatable only sells products that are designed for high-volume traffic.
Safety Door on Bouncers
Worried about children possibly falling out of a bouncer? Don't be. We got 3 points of reinforcement on the entrance of the bouncer which make the entrance very strong. Also we add the step outside the entrance following the AU and USA standards of jumping castle.
On-Staff Engineering and Designing
We do reinforce stitching at the fixion of D-ring. Four stitching line will share the tension of the bouncer. This made the D-ring last much longer and stronger. Other factory use other design of the fixion, but will not good for the tension sharing. Could find the differnce in the attached photos.
Cushion Designs
We do cushion between the wall and the base. When the kids bounce on the bouncer this parts bear most of the pressure, so this new design will make this parts much more strong and safety, while other factory only stitch to the base.
