![]() In Portugal, the most important illuminated manuscript that has reached our days is the Apocalypse of Lorvão.ĭating from 1189, it was probably made in the Monastery of Lorvão, near Coimbra. What is an illumineted manuscript – the most famous portuguese example We have as an example the illuminations originating from Egypt and the Muslim and Hindu world. The application of the designation has been gradually extended, chronologically and geographically, to encompass much more varied artistic manifestations. The term illumination is generally used to designate the entire pictorial set of decorative or illustrative character that accompanied the texts of codices and manuscript books in the medieval period.īut if we want to know what is an illuminated manuscript we have to go further. What is an illuminated manuscript – not only in the European Middle Ages What is an illuminated manuscript – Get to know some examples of famous illuminated manuscripts. Some very rich copies of illuminated books have come down to us, but unfortunately many others have been lost over time. The favorite themes covered biblical scenes, the steps of Christ’s passion, episodes from the lives of the saints, and mythological scenes. What is an illuminated manuscript – the themes in Middle Ages They were so well drawn and full of details that they were true works of art, and they told stories themselves. The texts had a drawn letter that was inserted at the beginning (capitular letter or initial). These ornaments often focused on the initial letters decorated with religious symbols and were, in medieval times, executed mainly by monks. So what is an illuminated manuscript – a book in which the letters are hand-drawn and containing images that illustrate the text, made with the technique of illumination. We call illuminations the ornaments present in books and manuscripts made using drawing, painting, and the application of metallic foil.

![]() ![]() The year-to-date on-time arrival rate for 2023 is 76.9. Assuming the company earns the 33 cents estimates, this would mark Delta’s fourth consecutive quarterly profit in almost two years. In March 2023, reporting marketing carriers posted an on-time arrival rate of 75.4, down from both the rate of 79.4 in February 2023 and from the rate of 77.2 in March 2022. Notably, for the quarter, revenue is expected to grow near 30%. With full-year revenue projected to rise close to 20%, comparatively Delta is still operating with the benefit of easier year-over-year metrics. For the full year, ending in December, earnings are projected to be $5.35 per share, rising from $3.20 a year ago, while full-year revenue of $53.84 billion would rise 18% year over year. This compares to the year-ago quarter when the loss came to $1.23 per share on $8.16 billion in revenue. Currently trading at around $33 per share, the stock is priced more than 36% below its consensus 12-month price target of $52, making Delta a solid buying opportunity given that the company is expected to earn low double-digit operating margins for 2024.įor the three months that ended March, analysts expect Atlanta-based transportation giant to earn 33 cents per share on revenue of $12.05 billion. As such, Delta remains one of the better bargains in transportation stocks. During the JPMorgan Industrial Conference held on March 14, Delta management noted their "demand is getting stronger.” Adding, "in the last 30 days, we've had the 10 highest sales days in our company's history.”Īhead of the Q1 earnings report on Thursday, the company is expected to benefit from revenue increases from international travel, where it has reported a gradual recovery, especially in Latin America and Transatlantic routes. More gains are in the horizon given that the airline industry is expected to see a strong travel demand for 2023. Amid the turbulence, Delta Airlines is still on the rise, with the stock gaining 2.5% year to date and 10% over the past six months. We fly American Airlines to the British West Indies every year and it is delightful.Analyst Andrew Didora cited the weakness to a higher seat pricing, though the firm indicated that volume actually showed a modest improvement. ![]() We got stuck with this because of wedding/time restrictions. Bottom line I will fly anyone but Delta in the future. Those are added rows to cram more pax like folded up card tables onto the plane. To add insult to injury, both trips we were given seats in the last 2 rows, practically in the lavatory, with no window, and plenty of urine stench. Extreme Weather: Significant meteorological conditions (actual or forecasted) that. maintenance or crew problems, aircraft cleaning, baggage loading, fueling, etc.). News flash, Delta: economy class supports your airline, pays your bills. The airlines report the causes of delays in five broad categories: Air Carrier: The cause of the cancellation or delay was due to circumstances within the airlines control (e.g. They encourage everyone above coach class to please choose their seat assignment. Even the wording from Delta on the online check in page is degrading. We paid almost $1,000.00 to fly round trip in 2 days, only to feel like herded cattle at the gate area, waiting for a seat assignment. My question is this: Why does Delta now NOT allow economy pax seat assignments until they arrive at the gate area? They did not originate as a low cost carrier, but they are sure acting like one. May I first say every Delta employee was exemplary, even the captain introducing himself at the gate area. on-time performance, and other aspects of customer service. My daughter and I recently flew Delta from Hartford, CT to Detroit, MI in economy class. United Airlines, for instance, launched a marketing campaign that targeted business fliers. ![]() However, if I had to buy it again, I’d probably get a smaller one.

![]() The nose continues to be quite hot, which has me re-checking the ABV on the label. When I return to continue my nosing, the dominant characteristic is now reminiscent of model airplane glue. The nose is a bit jarring in its astringency, so I let the glass rest for a minute. A swirl in the glass produces a thin ring from which droplets slowly develop. In the glass, the rum is a deep mahogany. Metal cap at left, wood-topped synthetic cork at right I would suggest using a stronger adhesive and/or roughing up the cap interior prior to application in future runs. I find this pretty unacceptable for a $65 rum. Fortunately for me, I didn’t drop the bottle in the process. On this bottle, the metal cap (while lovely) almost immediately pulled away from the wood. The closure is a synthetic cork topped with wood and an engraved metal cap. ![]() There is an obvious nod to quality with thicker glass (especially at the base) and some really beautiful raised glass design features. The Facundo bottles are completely different than the other bottles in the Bacardi line, and the Eximo bottle is no exception. Today we’ll taste the Eximo, which is bottled at 40% ABV and retails for $65. There are four expressions in the Facundo line: Neo (white), Eximo (10-year), Exquisito (7-23 year blend), and Paraiso (17-32 year blend). Coming from the house of Bacardi is a new line of premium rums bearing the given name of the company’s founder: Facundo. ![]() ![]() ![]() The final touch was shaving the stray pieces off with a sharp three-inch paring knife. On those weekends, Robert watched and learned as broom makers weighed out 12 ounces of the long fibers, then bundled them with tin-coated wire and spun them into shape with a pedal machine. He learned every job in the factory from a foreman who kept his secret, including how to make brooms from the crop that his father bought on those Sunday drives.Ĭredit: Brent MannRobert Libman used to sneak into his father's factory to work when he was a teen. When he was 14, Robert began working in the Libman broom plant on weekends without the elder Libman's knowledge. "My father didn't want me in the company because it was so hard."īut his father's work ethic inspired Robert so much that he went against his father's wishes for him. He considered it dirty, manual labor, Robert remembers. "I saw how my dad negotiated, how he talked and that had a big impact on my life," Robert says, now 71, recalling those Sundays with his father and the lessons he learned along the way.ĭespite taking Robert with him on those drives, his father had no intention of letting his youngest son join the family business. With his son sitting next to him, Clarence Libman would make deals with farmers who grew broomcorn, a hardy sorghum plant with long, tough fibers that the Libman family had built its broom business on since 1896. Libman: Generations Working to Achieve the American Dreamįor much of his childhood in the late 1940s and early '50s, Robert Libman would keep his father company as he drove the back roads of central Illinois. Blood types with positive Rh factors are plotted on the right negative Rh factors are plotted on the left. (Click to enlarge.) The graph is a stacked bar chart of the percentage of blood type for 63 countries, sorted by the percentage of types that have positive Rh factors. Robert's maps answer the question, "What is the spatial distribution of each blood type?" I was curious about a different question: "Within each country, what is the distribution of blood types?" To answer my question, I needed a different visualization of the same multivariate data. When dealing with multivariate data, a single visualization is rarely sufficient to answer all the questions that you can ask. As I studied his maps, I noticed that the distribution of blood types in certain ethnic groups (Chinese, Japanese, Indians.) was different than the distribution in Western Europe and former European colonies. He produced a series of eight world maps, each showing the prevalence of a blood type (A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, and O-) in various countries around the world. Last week he did it again by locating data about how blood types and Rh factors vary among countries. These are the most mixed of all and can acquire looks from any of the above groups.My colleague Robert Allison has a knack for finding fascinating data. These are generally the same as B Rh positive in looks, but can also have some of the O neg looks as they are carriers of the O neg genetics. Some Neanderthals also chose to breed with these creating paler skinned ones through the generations. ![]() The genetic differences happened over long periods of time, creating the different looks, however a 'Native' American Indians today, still very much look like an oriental Asians.īecause gorilla skin is very black, most of this line are very black, however with experimentation and genetic engineering some became paler skinned. They have black hair and black skin, and paler brown skin in some areas, and in other areas they became oriental looking. They became Homo Erectus, and still in some remote parts of Africa full blooded Homo Erectus can still be found. These were a results of experiments taking Neanderthal genes and mixing them with those of gorillas. These are generally the same as A Rh positive in looks, but can also have some of the O neg looks as they are carriers of the O neg genetics. Straight light blonde through to dark brown hair is dominant in this species.īecause these were placed mainly in Europe they retained pale hair and skin. They became the Homo Heidelbergensis, then with more experiments and evolution they became the Cro-Magnons. These were a later experiment of the Neanderthals, taking some of their own genes and mixing it with chimpanzee genetics. The black skin was needed for these people because without the protection of the hair that simians have all over their bodies, they would easily burn in the Sun, so black skin, despite what we are told, is part of evolution for those living in climates that required it, and NOT the other way round. The ones who were placed in hot countries evolved to have black skin and wooly hair, the ones in cold climate will have remained pale skinned. The biggest effect on the looks of these people is dependent upon where they live in the world. Skin colour is also the most diverse in this group, from pale white through to black. Hair colour can vary greatly and can be more or less any colour, from blonde straight through to black woolly hair. The first genetic experiment of the O negs mixing their genes with those of ancient simians created these people. O Rh D Positive - The Second Most Ancient Blood Group. Because O negs normally have mood eyes they can change to any colour, but these are the normal colours. Skin colour is always white, from a very pale snow white through to a pale pink or peach.Įyes are blue, grey or rarely violet. Hair can be wavy or very curly, but rarely completely straight. Light Strawberry Blonde - Dark Auburn hair colour, with all the shades in-between.īabies can be born with white hair which turns more of a copper auburn shade as they get older.īabies can also be born with pale copper, turning more into a medium auburn as they get older. ![]() O Rh D Negative - The Most Ancient Blood Group. The only group who are consistent in looks would be those families who have been consistent in only breeding within their own pure group of O negatives only, as these are the only blood group that isn't mixed with others through genetic engineering. Please remember that because of how mixed most people have now become, not everyone is going to fit perfectly into these.

![]() Simultaneously, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the spectacular splash when Bluefin tuna gets hooked! As the lure floats away on the water surface, get ready with your binoculars! A closer view of the lure will confirm that you got the lure in its correct position.Now that the kite is flying and the lure and lines are in place, you can get hold of the lines by the clip and push away the lure.Getting the kite airborne is an easy step when you are in the boat and must come after you have attached the lure and lines. ![]() Always remember attaching lures and lines will take the most time and is the most critical step. When you are attaching the clip, the bar releases towards the boat. The tackle used in kite fishing is light, so you need a release kite clip to keep the lines sorted and avoid tangles. Many anglers prefer online purchases since they can compare the prices and features of the various kites, reels, and other items. ![]() However, you can always buy the equipment online. The tackle shops in areas where Bluefin fishing is common, offer the equipment for kite fishing, so once you know what to get, you are all set. Take a look at the right equipment before you plan the big adventure! The fishing gear for this technique is more than just a reliable rod and the best reels. Some anglers spice it up by adding more lines and spreading multiple lures. The line going downwards from the kite, and the one connecting the boat to the lure meet at the water surface. These lines are opening up as one goes down to the lure and the other leads to the kite. If we were to draw a string diagram, the triangle of lines has one corner at the boat, where the two lines meet. The line that is attaching the kite to the boat is also connected to the line with the lure. The Nuggets are 2-point favorites for Game 5, so Vegas basically sees this as a pick-em. But while they might have been able to get away with a bad Lillard performance once, they'll need him back at his best for Game 5 on the road. Instead, the likes of CJ McCollum, Norman Powell and Jusuf Nurkic stepped up to save the day, and the Blazers tied the series at 2-2. Usually, that was because of Damian Lillard's brilliance, but the All-Star point guard actually had one of his worst playoff games ever in Game 4, finishing with 10 points on 1 of 10 shooting. Trail Blazers: The Blazers have been knocked down a few times this season, but they've always found a way to get back on their feet and offer a response. While they still have a good chance of advancing to the next round, the Nuggets might end up regretting basically giving away Game 4. Now, the series shifts back to Denver all knotted up at 2-2. They never led, and trailed by as much as 33 at one point. Another win on the road in Portland would have given them a 3-1 lead and struck a demoralizing blow to the Blazers. In a game that could truly go either way, I'm siding with the over in a game that will feature a fast pace and a ton of outside shooting.įINAL NUGGETS-BLAZERS PREDICTION AND PICK: Over 227.Nuggets: After losing Game 1 at home, the Nuggets bounced back to take Games 2 and 3, and had a chance to really seize control in Game 4. They are both capable of lighting up the scoreboard on a regular basis. and Portland has seen wild inefficiencies from the rest of their back court. Denver has seen streaky shooting from guys like Michael Porter Jr. The question marks that surround the two superstars make it difficult to pick a side in this matchup, though. We are almost guaranteed to witness brilliant performances from Nikola Jokic and Damian Lillard. McCollum and Powell will have to step up in a big way in Game 6 as Denver will almost certainly apply more pressure on Dame as soon as he crosses half court. CJ McCollum and Normal Powell had poor shooting nights as they combined to go 12 of 36 from the field and 2 of 11 from beyond the arc. ![]() Robert Covington and Jusuk Nurkic did all that they could to support Dame, but Portland's inefficiencies from the field really did them in when it was all said and done. Two other Blazers delivered double-double performances as well. Nikola Jokic’s strong Jamal Murray message will have Nuggets fans fired up There is absolutely no question that this club will live or die on the success of Damian Lillard. The Blazers point guard dished out 10 assists and added six rebounds, a steal, and three blocks. Lillard put up 55 points on 17 of 24 shooting from the field in the heroic outing. ![]() Dame had one of the best performances in playoff history with 12 made three's on 17 attempts. ![]() Why The Blazers Could Cover The SpreadĪlthough Denver stole the victory in Game 5, it was Damian Lillard that stole the night. The depth advantage that this team possesses makes them the clear favorite in this series. Although Denver certainly can't depend on Monte Morris to drop 28 points every night, it seems to be a different role player that comes up big for this team on any given night. MPJ is the catalyst for this team because of his remarkable ability to hit the long ball, which spreads the floor for the skilled big man. collected a double-double of his own with 26 points and 12 boards. The point-center finally got some help from his right-hand man, Michael Porter Jr. He also added nine assists, a steal, and four blocks in an all-around dominant performance. Jokic put together a monster double-double with 38 points and 11 rebounds in the game. Thankfully for the Nuggets, it was MVP favorite Nikola Jokic that outdid the Blazers superstar point guard in the double-overtime thriller. The Denver Nuggets should feel lucky to be up 3-2 in this series after surviving the onslaught of three's from Damian Lillard in Game 5. |
