As many people are weighing their options for affordable, lightweight, and/or transportable kayaks, they have no doubt been confronted by an explosion in the popularity of inflatable kayaks. Thinking back on one's childhood days of riding on the back of an inflatable "Shamu the Whale" pool toy probably doesn't help when imagining whether inflatable kayaks are a good alternative to traditional kayaks.
So what's the real story? Are inflatable kayaks any good? Are they stable? Are they safe? Are they durable? Or are they mostly hot air? Keep reading to get all your questions about inflatable kayaks answered!
Already know everything about inflatable kayaks? Bravo, Einstein! For everyone else, click on the table of contents below so you can become an Einstein, too.
1.1 Are Inflatable Kayaks Any Good?
1.2 Are Inflatable Kayaks Stable?
1.3 Are Inflatable Kayaks Safe and Durable?
So what's up with inflatable kayaks anyway? As much as we all loved our green alligator floatie pool toy back in the day, you wouldn't really want the equivalent of that when going out in open or fast moving water.
We're going to dive into some of the most commonly asked questions about inflatable kayaks and then give our recommendations for 4 of the best ones. Ready? Let's go!
In a word: yes! I've probably done a disservice by mentioning pool toys a couple times already this article so now it's time to banish that thought from your head.
Inflatable technology has come a long way over the past few decades. Whereas it used to be used primarily by military and commercial operations, recreational companies have figured out a way to harness the same construction processes to build durable, professional, and high-quality watercraft that serves the needs of an ever-increasing number of people.
Now you can see serious inflatable water toys of all kinds like stand up paddle boards, canoes, wakeboards, fishing pontoons and more. Inflatable watercraft are more and more becoming the "go-to" vessels of choice in a multitude of sports.
For the most part, inflatable kayaks are just as stable as traditional kayaks. Once again, if you think of inflatables more like a stiff whitewater raft, then you realize that these things have some heft and ruggedness to them.
Just like a normal kayak, however, they do have a tipping point and have variable primary and secondary stability. If you're looking at standing up in your kayak for fishing or other purposes, make sure to do some research because some inflatable kayaks might not be as well-equipped for that as others due to varying degrees of "hardness" in the floors of the kayaks.
You can always buy or build your own hard floor insert to remedy this problem if you want a harder floor for your kayak. If you buy one, it will typically be of an easy to inflate drop stitch construction material that inflates to a high, strong PSI.
If you want to build one, you can always find tutorials on YouTube or elsewhere of how to construct your own out of plywood or other materials.
Are Inflatable Kayaks Safe and Durable?
This is a big question especially for those who will be doing river kayaking or other shallow water kayaking where you're prone to run over sticks, rocks, or other obstacles.
This is a case of you're going to get what you pay for. You can find some fairly inexpensive inflatable kayaks (think less than $200) on Amazon and elsewhere and these are fine for putzing around a lakeside dock or a pond. But if you're looking to travel away from shore or put some miles on the kayak, you need to know that it's reliable. Unfortunately, some of those cheap inflatables are just not made as solidly as their more expensive counterparts.
What the more expensive kayaks offer is a combination of double and triple layer fabric, separate inflation chambers, and airtight valves amongst other things. These all have different parts to play in keeping the kayak safe and durable.
The 2 or 3 layers of fabric provide extra protection against a tear or puncture. A stray stick might puncture through one layer but be stopped from full penetration by the other layer(s).
Separate inflation chambers mean that if for some reason you do experience a puncture or rip in one part of your kayak, it will be contained to just that one chamber. You will have 2 or 3 other chambers that have not been affected and that will enable you to stay afloat long enough to get to shore and fix it or find help.
Airtight valves mean that once air goes in the air won't go out. There is no need to worry that once the kayak is inflated that it will start losing air on you and deflate. If pumped up to a proper PSI and cared for properly, an inflatable kayak will be every bit as tough and durable as a regular kayak.
Once again, you should think of the extremely tough military grade vessels that are used in certain kinds of military operations like Navy SEALs beaching a stealthy inflatable boat and jumping off to perform some covert operation. Some inflatable kayaks are made using the same materials and construction processes as those used to make military equipment.
Thinking of it that way should put your mind at ease that what you're buying is, in fact, a safe, durable, and reliable piece of equipment that you can use over and over again for years to come.
Now that we've gone over some of the most common questions people have about inflatable kayaks, it's time to take a look at some of the top ones of this year.
Given the popularity of inflatable kayaks nowadays, it's easy to be overwhelmed with choices. That's where we come in. We've put in the hours doing extensive research so you don't have to and here's what we've come up with for the best inflatable kayaks of 2016.
Advanced Elements is a top player in the inflatable kayak world. They offer a wide range of inflatable kayaks for all skill levels and types of paddling.
The AE1007 AdvancedFrame Convertible kayak is one of their best-rated kayaks. So what separates this kayak from all their others? A few things, actually.
First, its advanced frame design means that this kayak paddles more like a hardshell kayak than one would expect. Their "advanced frame" consists of built-in aluminum ribs in the bow and the stern which increases rigidity and, in turn, tracking.
The "convertible" part of the kayak comes from its ability to convert from a tandem kayak to a solo kayak with just a few adjustments. There are 3 seat positions that allow this conversion, forward and aft for tandem kayaking and one right in the middle to allow solo paddling.
That being said, unlike many other inflatable kayaks, the AE 1007 is a bit weightier than many others coming in at around 56 pounds. Of course, it's hard to make a "light" 15-foot kayak that is still rugged and durable and it's still lighter than most of the hardshells out there. Not to mention the weight capacity is 550 pounds, something else you most likely won't find in other touring kayaks of equal size.
Click here to check the AE1007 price on Amazon!
It's hard to find a bad review of this kayak but the few that are out there primarily complained about the storage bag being a big issue. It's just barely big enough to fit the kayak after use and is more of an oversized tote bag than a comfortable, sturdy carrying pack. The carrying straps aren't long enough for over the shoulder carrying and make it awkward and heavy to just tote by hand.
There are also a few extras you might have to shell out for like paddles, a pump, and optional backbone and frame decks which turn a reasonably priced kayak into a higher priced kayak once you include the extras.
Overall, however, with overwhelmingly favorable reviews the price will be well-worth the investment for years to come.
The Razorlite is another high-quality inflatable kayak from Sea Eagle. I reviewed another one of their kayaks here and while the Razorlite is also a lightweight kayak like their 370SE, it could be considered more of a "serious" kayak made with performance and speed in mind.
The Razorlite hull is narrower more like a typical touring kayak meant to cover distance instead of the wider, all-around shape of some of Sea Eagle's other designs. Much like the Advanced Elements kayak, it also has a reinforced bow and stern that allows the kayak to slice through waves for increased speed and performance with a top confirmed speed of 6mph.
Despite its sleek appearances, the Razorlite also scores high on the durability scale. It's the only inflatable kayak on the market that is fully constructed with drop stitch technology. This allows inflation to a much higher pressure (10 PSI) than many other inflatable kayaks — higher PSI = greater rigidity and durability.
Unlike the Advanced Elements, however, the Sea Eagle comes as a complete package with a pump, patch kit, performance paddle, adjustable seat, and a comfortable backpack for carrying. Even though it's slightly more expensive, you shouldn't need to drop any more money on add-ons with this package.
Now for the negatives…probably the most common complaint is that there are lots of hidden crevices where water can gather that you will need to dry out with a sponge of some sort before you pack it away for good. If you don't do this, you run the risk of getting a moldy kayak. Some people found it quite tedious and aggravating to get the kayak completely dry before storing it away.
If a shark-proof kayak was high on your list of demands, you'll have to look elsewhere. However, if you want a lightweight, fast, high-performing and easy to transport kayak with all the extras included, the Razorlite should be at the top of your list.
Find a great deal on the Razorlite on Amazon today!
It could be argued that Innova kayaks aren't as well known as the previous two brands mentioned, but that doesn't mean they're any less superior in quality.
The Sunny IK is another convertible kayak that can go from a solo to a tandem kayak in a flash just by mounting the seat in a different position for each kind of trip. It's a respectable 12'8" in length, weighs only 33 pounds, and boasts a 400-pound capacity. This is another kayak that will be best enjoyed as a recreational and touring kayak.
What separates the Sunny, and Innova kayaks in general, are their construction materials. The Innova kayaks are constructed out of heavy-duty 1,200-denier Nitrolyn that is then coated in rubber making Innova kayaks one of the only "green" kayaks on the market.
What is meant by "green kayak" in this instance is that due to the rubber materials used for construction, Innova kayaks are able to be recycled once they've reached the end of their lifespan after 20 years. Boats and kayaks made out of or coated with PVC, a common kayak material, are not recyclable.
Brighten your day with a great deal on Innova's Sunny Kayak on Amazon!
Innova even has its own recycling program whereby you can send back your old, tired kayak and they will recycle it and turn it into rubber mulch.
So when you buy the Sunny Inflatable Kayak, you can feel good about your purchase knowing that not only do you have a top of the line, versatile, and durable kayak, but you're also getting something that is less harmful to the environment than most other kayaks on the market today. Pretty cool, huh?
Last but certainly not least we have the NRS Outlaw 1 inflatable kayak. Unlike most of the others mentioned above, the Outlaw 1 is not your typical recreational/touring kayak. We, of course, couldn't do an article without mentioning a top quality inflatable kayak for whitewater, which is exactly what you get in the Outlaw IK.
The Outlaw is only 9'10" which is all you need for a kayak that's going to be punching through some fast-moving rapids. It has an 18" rocker that helps it easily climb over high waves and its rock-solid drop stitch floor makes it super maneuverable.
Despite high-performance features like the ones mentioned above, its 10.5" tubes make for a wide, stable platform that is suitable for beginners just getting into whitewater kayaking. The Outlaw 1 was made to be a kayak that provides enough stability to appeal to beginners but also playful and responsive enough to please the more experienced adrenaline junkies.
What's great about this harmonious interplay between beginner and advanced kayak is that the Outlaw comes with a beginner's price tag. This is a great value kayak that's going to give serious pleasure to all who buy it.
Get a head rush with a great bargain on an Outlaw 1 IK from Amazon today!
The main negative associated with the Outlaw 1 is that it's slower at self-bailing. There are a lot of drain holes in the bottom which you use to attach the thwart seat and due to the thinner, but more rigid floor the water can sometimes seep out on top of it. Since the floor is so tight fitting against the sides of the kayak, it can take up to 30 seconds before that water drains back out of the kayak.
For most people, it's not a huge issue and certainly not a big enough one so as to be a deal-breaker. But NRS has other whitewater kayaks that even they say are admittedly better at self-bailing.
Whether you've been eyeing getting into whitewater kayaking but just weren't sure how or you're already experienced and just want a ducky that's fun to use but easy to transport, the NRS Outlaw 1 IK will get the job done for you.
The bottom line is that inflatable kayaks are indeed safe, durable, reliable, and just as good as many traditional kayaks, especially as inflatable technology continues to improve and innovate.
Before reading this I would of been a definite "NO WAY' on the inflatable kayak…lesson learned! i would be guilty of imagining a pool toy but after you gave the much needed visual of a white water raft I got it. Thinking it might even be a lot more convenient to take on camping trips!!!! THANKS!!!
Thanks! Yeah, there are still a lot of people out there who have the wrong idea about inflatables so it's important to try and dispel the myths. They're a great option for many people, whether due to space, disabilities, transportation, weight, or a whole host of other reasons. Thanks for stopping by!

Ted Cruz attacks Hillary Clinton at GOP Debate Walk-Through
August 6, 2015 By WHC Insider
GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz spoke to reporters in Cleveland about running a "populist campaign of working men and women" to win voters in Ohio and nationally. Cruz also blamed voter frustration on the "bipartisan corruption of Washington that…is embodied by Hillary Clinton."

Dems Announce Debate Schedule, Stepping on Tonight's GOP Debate
August 6, 2015 By Natalie Heinitz
Hours away from the first Republican debate, the Democratic National Committee announced its long-awaited debate schedule for its own candidates, which will include six debates ranging from October to March.
CNN will host the first debate on October 13 in Nevada, one of the four early primary states. The second debate will take place in Iowa in early November with CBS News, The Des Moines Register and KCCI as hosts, which will be followed by a Christmas showdown in New Hampshire on December 19 by ABC News/WMUR.
NBC News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute will host the fourth debate on January 17 in South Carolina. Tensions and excitement will be at a peak during this event, as it is the final debate before the state nomination season officially begins with the Iowa caucuses on February 1 and the New Hampshire primary on February 9. Finally, there will be two debates hosted sometime in February and March. One will be hosted by Univision and the Washington Post in Miami, Florida and the other in Wisconsin by PBS.
There are currently five Democratic candidates pursuing the nomination: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, former Virginia Senator Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee. However, the DNC welcomes any new candidate who wishes to enter the race, as long as they meet the criteria of receiving at least 1% in three national polls in the six weeks leading up to the debate.
The Weekly Standard reports that insurgent Governor Martin O'Malley is already complaining about the new schedule.
RNC's Sean Spicer: "DNC buried their debate announcement today"
In an interview with WHCInsider.com before the first debate featuring GOP presidential candidates in the 2016 election, the Republican National Committee's Sean Spicer gave a preview of what to expect at the largest debate in primary history when 17 candidates take the stage.
Spicer also commented on the timing of the Democrat's debate announcement today. "They've got a lot of concern within their own party…with what the DNC has done to help Hillary Clinton out. I think they tried to bury this today for obvious reasons."
When asked about the additional debate added for candidates who didn't make the cut for the main debate: "It wasn't our decision. We had talked to both Fox and CNN about how to be really inclusive in both of the early debates because of the historic number of quality candidates that we had in our field. Fox and CNN said they were going to try and figure out a way to do that."
Spicer noted that close to 5,000 people will be in attendance, "probably the largest debate audience in history. Folks from Ohio, Republican supporters, friends and family of the candidates. It's kind of a cross-section." Audience members will not be allowed to ask questions.

Once this area is figured out, they will have to decide on the best place for the sewer rodding. They will locate the biggest clear out spot closest to the obstruction and where they can decrease the cutter head of the rodding devices, so that it requires the minimum power. Rodding devices feature various cable televisions, power capabilities and cutting heads and experience in clearing lots of such blockages, will allow the professional to figure out exactly what action needs to be required to remove the blockages from the drain in your home or business. They may elect to drain out a drain prior to they begin rodding, as sometimes water can add to damage of pipelines, throughout rodding operations.
Once the rodding operations are started, it is continued until the cable with the cutter head reaches a clear portion of the drain or approximately the primary city trunk line. This range is kept in mind, and the cutter is once again extracted and sent through again to see if any other difficult areas exist and require cleaning operations. The resulting particles has then to be extracted and taken a look at to determine its nature. The existence of wood might show tree roots and the homeowner will be asked to do something about it to prevent recurrence of the issue.
Modern pipes has a variety of techniques for keeping sewage system gasses from a home. Among the most popular is the P trap. P traps are crucial due to the fact that sewer gasses can be harmful to your health in addition to smell bad.
The P trap efficiency at trapping sewer gasses is all due to its design. It starts by going strait below the drain, then it has a p shaped bend on the bottom, and it ends with a horizontal pipeline after it curves up. This p shaped bend is meant to trap a little water in the pipe. This water acts like a barrier, keeping any sewage system gasses from entering the space.
If you smell drain gas in a room with a P trap, it is likely that the trap is empty of water. to examine this all you need to do is shine a flashlight at it. If it doesn't reflect back, it is empty and you should add some water to refill it. If this doesn't work then you may need to call a plumber to repair the P trap or another pipe.
If drain line obstructions recur within a short time of the rodding operations, it can indicate other problems that may not be quickly solved by this operation. It would then be required to diagnose the entire network, user practices and other factors that do trigger drain clogs. Sometimes, it might be needed to change a sewage system to get an irreversible option. Thankfully, nowadays there are business that can undertake this operation through trench-less replacement of pipelines, so that the work is done without any trouble to the homeowner.

20,000 worshippers quarantined in Pakistan after major search
LAHORE: Pakistan has quarantined 20,000 worshippers and is still searching for tens of thousands more who attended an Islamic gathering in Lahore last month despite the worsening coronavirus pandemic, officials said on Sunday (Apr 5).
Authorities said they want to test or quarantine those who congregated at the event held by the Tablighi Jamaat – an Islamic missionary movement – between Mar 10 and 12 over fears they are now spreading COVID-19 across Pakistan and overseas.
More than 100,000 people went to the meeting, organisers said, undeterred by government requests for it to be cancelled as the virus hit the country.
READ: Pakistan, Bangladesh try to stop Friday prayers to avert coronavirus spike
In northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, authorities have so far quarantined 5,300 Tablighis or Islamic preachers who attended the Lahore meeting.
"Health officials are conducting tests for coronavirus and some of them have tested positive," Ajmal Wazir, a spokesperson for the region, told AFP on Sunday.
Wazir said thousands of Tablighis from his province were stranded in other regions because of the closure of major highways across the country.
About 7,000 have been quarantined in the central Punjab city Lahore, while in southern Sindh province up to 8,000 Tablighis have been quarantined, government officials said.
Dozens more have been forced to self-isolate in southwestern Balochistan province.

The Tablighi mosques and the movement's other places of worship were shut down or marked as quarantine centres at the end of March.
At least 154 worshippers who went to last month's Jamaat had tested positive for coronavirus, with two fatalities, authorities told AFP.
Coronavirus has killed at least 45 people in Pakistan but with only limited testing available, observers worry the number is far higher.
Tablighi Jamaat is considered one of the world's largest faith-based movements, with millions of followers, particularly in South Asia, and sends preachers to countries to spread Islam's ideas.
Numerous foreign nationals attended this year from countries including China, Indonesia, Nigeria and Afghanistan, organisers said.
About 1,500 foreigners are now quarantined in Pakistan, but others left the country without being tested.
Gaza's health ministry confirmed last month its first two cases of coronavirus were Palestinians who had attended the gathering.
Pakistan's science minister Fawad Chaudhry earlier expressed exasperation that the event had gone ahead, blaming the "stubbornness of the clergy".
Organisers said they cut the gathering short following advice from the authorities, however at the time they said it was due to rainy weather.
Similar Tablighi Jamaat congregations held in Malaysia and India during the coronavirus pandemic have been blamed for spreading the virus to other nations.

Q: Create a Sequelize object with many depths associations I'm trying to create objects in one call, with many depths associations, with a Many-to-Many relationship.
I have a User, an Account, a link table UsersAccountsMap (for Many-to-Many relationship between Account & User, because a User can have multiple Accounts, and an Account can have multiple Users) and a Project models. I want to create in one call, a new User linked to a new Account, with a new Project.
Currently, with my query, only the User and the Account (and the link table UsersAccountsMap) are created, but the Project is not, and no error is shown.
For your information, before the Many-to-Many relationship, it was a One-to-Many (with one Account for multiples Users), and I was able to create the Project. Since then, I have updated my models (see below), updated my Create query by changing Account with Accounts
The create query : (I tried with Projects and Project in the value, but doesn't work)

FINN'S GOLDEN TAVERN AT STAKERS ONLINE CASINO
Finn's Golden Tavern welcomes you with Irish charm, plenty of lager and a fresh take on the original Finn slot that players are sure to love.
It pays out in a cluster system, which means that instead of pay lines, a win is determined when like symbols appear adjacent to each other anywhere on the reels. When a win happens, the winning symbols disappear, and the remaining symbols fall into their place in an avalanche animation.
Your playing screen is brought to life as a table in Finn's Golden Tavern, with a beer mat, a compass, and a flute, lit by a candle. The board is an old document. The symbols are an overflowing beer mug, a wine bottle, a pewter stein, and a jug of moonshine.
You also have golden coins of different denominations – five, ten, twenty and fifty. When three or more coin symbols have the same value, it pays out in that value.
The star symbol is wild. It can substitute for anything you need to make a win, intersecting or overlapping on the same row or column. However, wilds only appear during re-spins.
The free spins chest gives you free spins. It is activated if it is in the control position, which is the lower left spot, after a cluster pays finishes.
Randomly a coin can move from where it landed to a winning position.
This video slot game from NetEnt has five reels and five rows that are configured in a grid formation. The betting range is 0.1 to 500 coins, and the maximum win on a single spin is 500,000 coins. It is a low to medium volatile playing experience with a theoretical return to player average of 96.1%.

Sainsbury's launches Responsibility Deal campaign
By Christine Boggis
| 06 January, 2012
Sainsbury's is running an in-store campaign to raise awareness of alcohol units, promote lighter-style wines and encourage consumers to manage their drinking responsibly.
The campaign is being run in partnership with Drinkaware, Diageo and Heineken and forms part of Sainsbury's 20 by 20 Sustainability Plan, in which the supermarket has committed to doubling its sales of lighter alcohol wine by 2020.
It kicks off on January 6 and 7 with in-store sampling of wines at 10.5% abv and under, as well as alternative serve sizes of spirits and beer.
Customers will be invited to test their awareness of alcohol units by pouring a typical home measure and then finding out how many units are in it, and each participating consumer will be given a Drinkaware unit wheel to help them judge unit content better in the future.
Health minister Paul Burstow has welcomed the campaign, which runs until January 24 and sees lighter alcohol wine and Diageo pre-mix spirits cans promoted at 25% off, and 4x33cl packs of Heineken lager discounted to £4.
He said: "People's understanding and awareness of alcohol units is still patchy. If advice on alcohol is going to mean something to people we must be able to know how much we're actually drinking and compare that against the guidelines.
"I welcome the work that Sainsbury's, Diageo and Heineken are doing, working together with Drinkaware, to improve people's understanding of alcohol units and promote responsible drinking. It helps make it easier for us all to better gauge how many units we're drinking."
Helen Buck, chair of Sainsbury's Responsible Drinking Group, said: "We know that after the excesses of the festive period, our customers often look for ways to help manage their alcohol intake. By working with our partners Drinkaware, Diageo and Heineken to provide customers with information about serve sizes and unit calculations at the relevant time, we hope to help them form a better understanding that will help ensure their alcohol intake remains at a responsible level into the longer term."
Chris Sorek, chief executive of alcohol education charity Drinkaware, said: "January is the perfect time to help those seeking a healthier lifestyle in 2012 to be better informed about how many units and calories are in their favourite drink. The unit calculator is a handy reference tool that can be used throughout the year."
Diageo GB's grocery channel director Andy Adams said: "We are delighted to be part of this initiative alongside Sainsbury's, Drinkaware and Heineken. This is a great opportunity to help raise people's awareness of alcohol units and the importance of drinking responsibly. We hope this weekend's activity, along with Diageo's wider work supporting the Public Health Responsibility Deal, will help remind people how many units they are consuming."
Heineken's UK off-trade director Martin Porter said: "We see this initiative as another great way to create an environment for consumers to make the right choices about their alcohol consumption. Working with Sainsbury's, Drinkaware and Diageo allows us to reach a broader range of consumers, creating a much greater impact, and builds on the increasing levels of investment that we make in this area."

EPR Properties Plunges 8% In Pre-Market On Earnings Miss; Dividend Pause
support@smarteranalyst.com (Ben Mahaney)
May 7, 2020, 1:55 AM ·2 min read
EPR Properties (EPR) is falling 8% in pre-market trading on Thursday after reporting weak first quarter results and announcing the suspension of dividend payouts and share buybacks. Shares have now plunged 62% year-to-date.
The Kansas-based real estate investment trust, that invests in 'experiential properties' like amusement parks, theaters, and ski resorts, reported Q1 FFO of $0.97 missing the Street expectations by $0.14. Meanwhile revenue of $151.01M (+0.3% year-over-year) also fell short of Street forecasts by $2.42M.
"Today we are announcing further measures to ensure our liquidity, including the temporary suspension of our monthly cash dividend to common shareholders and a planned suspension of our share repurchase program" commented CEO Greg Silvers, adding "We do not take these steps lightly; however, given the uncertainties that exist, we believed it unwise to burden our future with a higher leveraged balance sheet."
The dividend will be suspended following the $0.3825 common share dividend payable May 15, 2020. The EPR board has previously declared monthly cash dividends during the first quarter of 2020 totaling $1.1325 per share.
Following the announcement, RBC Capital analyst Michael Carroll told investors: "The 1Q20 report was soft, but at the same time, this was largely expected given the challenges that EPR currently faces." He has a buy rating on the stock and $45 price target.
According to the analyst "These headwinds will likely persist at least until the tenant base is able to re-open their respective operations." Most notably EPR received only 15% of its April rent payments, which Carroll believes is mainly from the attractions, ski resorts, and gaming segments.
He praised the company's decision to suspend the dividend and modify certain debt covenants, writing "We believe both of these steps are necessary to ensure that the company can navigate the current uncertainty and, hopefully, reach a post-COVID operating environment."
Encouragingly, Carroll notes that the company has $1.2 billion of cash as of quarter-end, giving EPR about four years of liquidity at its current rate of cash burn. Overall, the Street has a cautiously optimistic Moderate Buy consensus on EPR with an average analyst price target of $33 (25% upside potential). (See EPR stock analysis on TipRanks).

U.S. Interest Rates on Tap
Following two relatively peaceful trading days, today is filled with news publications from the major economies. Starting at 06:45 and until 09:00 (GMT) traders are advised to follow the news events from the Euro-Zone. Later on, the Crude Oil Inventories will be published at 14:30 (GMT). This indicator tends to have an instant impact on Crude Oil prices, and traders should use it with their trading. Finally, at 18:15 (GMT), the Federal Reserve will announce the U.S Interest Rates for September. This promises to create hefty volatility in the market, which should provide various opportunities for traders to enlarge profits.
USD – The Dollar Falls before Federal Reserve Meeting
The U.S Dollar's weakness resumed, as global investors again embraced risks, reducing safe-haven demand for the U.S. currency, as traders took positions on the first day of the Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting. The U.S. Dollar also weakened on speculation that the Group of 20 leaders, meeting in Pittsburgh starting tomorrow, will call for a reduction in global trade imbalances that may cause further gains in the greenback's counterparts. The greenback traded at $1.4794 per EUR from $1.4790 yesterday, after declining to $1.4842 earlier on, the lowest level since September 22, 2008.
The hard-pressed Dollar had gained some ground Monday as equity markets weakened, with traders tying a decline in risk appetite to caution ahead of the Fed meeting, as well as the summit of Group of 20 leaders at the end of the week. But Tuesday's resumption of risk appetite may reflect views in the market that neither event is likely to produce meaningful changes analysts said.
Market sentiment toward the USD remains bearish. Analysts expect the Fed to signal its ultra-loose monetary policy will remain in place well into next year. Additionally, as the G20 to discusses rebalancing the global economy this will almost certainly further weaken the Dollar. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to leave Interest Rates unchanged. But markets will seek out clues on the Fed's asset purchases. Any sign that the Fed intends to continue its quantitative easing measures beyond this year could send the U.S Dollar to record lows.
EUR – Euro Hits $1.48 for the First Time in a Year!
The EUR traded at a 1 year high against a sliding Dollar on Wednesday, as traders took advantage of the U.S. currency's rise the previous day to resume selling ahead of a Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting. The European currency advanced as hopes for a global recovery prompted investors to shift money to higher-yielding currencies from the safe-haven greenback.
In late trading, the EUR was up 0.8% at $1.4796 after options-related demand and strong Asian buying pushed it above $1.48 for the first time since September 2008. European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Axel Weber said on Tuesday recent moves in currency markets were surprising given the Euro-Zone's economic performance relative to other major economies. Traders expect the $1.4870 level may be the next target in EUR/USD cross, with many predicting an eventual move back to $1.50.
The British Pound also gained against the U.S Dollar for the first time in 4 days, as stocks rallied around the world on evidence that the global economic recovery is accelerating. The British currency advanced 1% to $1.6376. The GBP rose 0.2% against the EUR to 90.33 pence, ending a 6 day losing streak. Against the EUR, the British currency rebounded from near the lowest level in more than 5 months after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. recommended selling the common European currency against Sterling.
JPY – Yen Gains as USD Remains Under Pressure
The Japanese Yen extended its gains on Wednesday vs. the greenback as investors unloaded the U.S. currency ahead of meetings by the Federal Reserve and the G20 leaders this week. The currency gained for a 2nd day against the U.S Dollar on speculation world leaders will discuss policies to rebalance global economic growth at the G20 meeting this week. The JPY climbed to 90.82 Yen per Dollar from 91.10, and rose to 134.40 Yen per EUR from 134.76.
The Japanese currency is likely to strengthen further before new Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii takes office this month; he said a strong Yen was generally good as it boosted the purchasing power of Japan's economy. Fujii subsequently backed away from that comment, but speculation will remain that after sweeping to power last month, the Democratic Party of Japan may try to shift the country away from its reliance on exports and its opposition to Yen strength.
Crude Oil – Crude Rebounds as Inventories are Expected to Decline
Crude Oil prices rose Tuesday to above $72 a barrel, as pressure on the Dollar and expectations for a further drop in U.S. Crude inventories boosted market sentiment. Weekly petroleum data is likely to show that stockpiles of Crude fell again last week, as imports remained low analysts said. Last week, the EIA said Crude Oil Inventories decreased by 4.7 million barrels in the week ending Sept. 11, as imports dropped 2.1% from a week ago.
The move in Crude Oil today is likely to be supported by a fresh wave of selling of the U.S. Dollar. Traders will be waiting for U.S. Crude inventory data from the American Petroleum Institute and the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Also of interest to commodities traders is leaders of the world's most powerful economies will convene in Pittsburgh later this week for the G20 Summit.
The pair continues with the bullish momentum and is now trading around the 1.4815 level. As both the MACD and the RSI on the 4-hour chart are pointing up, it looks that the bullish trend is likely to continue today. Going long might be the right choice today.
Ever since bottoming at the 1.6130 level, the cable saw a sharp uptrend, and has recently breached through the 1.6400 level. As a bullish cross is taking place on the 4-hour chart's Slow Stochastic, it seems that another bullish session might be impending.
There is a very distinct bearish channel formed on the daily chart, as the pair is now floating on the bottom of it. The next strong support level seems to be located at the 90.00 level. If the pair will drop below it, it might signal a long-lasting downtrend.
The pair continues with the bearish momentum, and is now approaching the 1.0200 level. As all oscillators on the daily chart are pointing down it seems that the bearish trend might continue today.
The high volatility of Crude Oil continues, as yesterday a barrel of Oil was traded for over $71.50. However, a bearish cross on the 4-hour chart's Slow Stochastic suggests that a bearish correction might take place today. This might be a good opportunity for forex traders to catch the trend at its beginning.

Experimental Environments: The Architecture of England's Progressive Schools, 1914–1939
First and second supervisors
Professor Barbara Penner
Professor Jane Rendell
My project looks at the history of interwar progressive education in order to cast light on how architecture intersects with learning. By revisiting interwar progressive environments in England, I hope to highlight how these experiments altered users' and public attitudes to architecture and education. Drawing on a range of sources and materials relating to these sites, the project's ambition is to develop a way of writing about the history of educational architecture which contributes to the way we understand teaching and learning in the present.
In order to re-read the histories of two schools – Dartington Hall School, Devon (1926) and Impington Village College, Cambridgeshire (1939) – I will examine a selection of empirical evidence through a critical framework of architectural history and educational theory. This framework will ask how these once experimental environments worked to change relationships between architecture, pedagogy and power. The framing of these relationships and their dissemination through the media (for instance, photography and documentary film) will be further examined to question how representation changed the way audiences understood what the future role of postwar education might be.
Although both of these educational projects were once alternatives to conventional educational practice, their philosophies and practices have long been absorbed and appropriated by state schools. Aspects of their histories have been addressed before but not yet synthesised into a single account which looks to uncover a shared genealogy of educational and architectural ideas. I therefore seek to produce a focused account of the nature of progressive space in the interwar period and one that negotiates a place between conventional architectural and educational histories.
As well as being a part-time doctoral student at The Bartlett, I am History and Theory Coordinator on the Interior and Spatial Design Programme at Chelsea College of Arts. My teaching and research interests lie between architectural histories of nineteenth and twentieth-century London, philosophical anarchism and progressive education. I have experience in developing, planning and facilitating a variety of educational programmes ranging from intercultural, cross-disciplinary undergraduate courses to working with local primary schools and architecture education organisations. Outside education I enjoy playing loud rock music in the ever-emerging rock outfit Type Two Error and running marathons.

May 27, 2020 by ReadingJunction
On this page, you will read an Essay on Peacock for Students and Children in 700 Words. This includes physical appearance, behaviour, religious importance, and 10 Lines on Peacock.
Introduction (Essay on Peacock – 700 Words)
1 Introduction (Essay on Peacock – 700 Words)
2 Physical Appearance
2.1 Behaviour of Peacock
3 Religious aspect of Peacock
4 10 Lines on Peacock
Peacock is a bird which has enormous national significance in India. Most notable, the bird is renowned for its lovely, bright colours. The Peacock is well known for its stunning beauty. It sure has a hypnotic look.
Watching it dance over the Rainy season is a beautiful experience of pleasure. Peacock's lovely colours bring instant solace to the eyes. Peacock has an essential religious commitment to Indian traditions. Because of this, Peacock has been declared as Indian National Bird.
The males of a species were peacocks. They're beautiful looking. Because of this, the bird gets a massive worldwide appreciation. Its length from either the tip of the beak to an end of the platform is also 195 to 225 centimeters.
Its average weight also is 5 kg. Peacock's head, neck, or breasts are most noteworthy in iridescent blue colour. They too have white patches all over their eyes.
Peacock is overhead with a crest of feathers. A Peacock's most striking feature is its extraordinary lovely tail known as the train. After four years for hatching, its tail become fully established.
The 200 odd show feathers are growing from the bird's back. Those feathers often form part of the enormously elongated upper tail. There are no barbs on train fur to hold feathers to place. Therefore, the feathers connection is loose.
The colours of Peacock resulted from complex microstructures. Those microstructures, create optical phenomena. Every train feather often ends in such a cluster of eye-catching ovals.
The Peacock's back feathers are greyish brown in the shade. A further vital thing to understand is that the feathers throughout the back were short and slender.
Behaviour of Peacock
The Peacock is renowned for its striking, elegant feather show. The Peacocks propagated their train or quivered it for the display of courtship. Often the number in eyespots in the courtship screens of a male impact the success for mating.
Peacocks all are omnivorous. Besides, seeds, birds, fruits and also small mammals survive. They often lived in small groups. A group possesses basically a single male or 3-5 females.
Mostly, they remain on a tall tree's outer branches to avoid predators. Peacocks prefer running when in risk to take a flight instead. Most notable, the peacocks are pretty agile on foot.
To summarize, Peacock is a bird with a hypnotic charm. It is undoubtedly colourful, fascinating birds that have been India's pride for decades. Peacock is a bird whose beauty becomes exquisite.
They are the source of inspiration to artists, because of this. A glimpse of such a bird can bring pleasure to a heart and brings a veritable representative of the fauna for India. It is India's dignity.
Religious aspect of Peacock
It is a sacred bird of the Hindu religion as its tail 'train' spots recognize the eyes of Gods. Further, there is an ancient connection, outside the Hindu mythology, from the first significant empire governed by Chandragupta Maurya to India dynasty within 321 to 185 BC.
He is the grandson of the village head to peacock tamers as per Jain tradition (Mayura poshaka). A region through which Mayura came has been "full of peacocks" (origin of Sanskrit), as per Buddhist writers. This could be the other justification the Peacock is named as India's national bird.
They're not just beautiful, they're also brilliant. They can fly, but not very high. After mating each year, they shed the trains. The lifespan averages 20 years.
We know breaded peafowl as leucism, which has lost its pigmentation caused by a genetic mutation. Therefore, its colour is white. Peacocks were ground feeders which eat insects, plants or small animals.
The Peacock as an ornamental bird is a staple citizen of so many zoos around the world.
10 Lines on Peacock
Peacock is an Indian National Bird.
In attractiveness, peacocks are attractive.
In India, these are discovered nearly everywhere.
The peacocks are luminous green blue. Its neck is long or blue.
They are between 10-25 years old.
Their wings are enormous, so they're over 1 meter long.
Peacock is too fond of clouds. They dance throughout the rainy season.

It is smaller to shape than the Peacock. Its feet are ugly, and their food depends on food or insects.
They're peasant friends and insect enemies. Peacocks hunt for snakes too.

1; easy, right? Unfortunately, MFP does not tell you to eat less calories if you are not exercising. However, an activity tracker like a FitBit or an Apple Watch can help.
If you do not burn the calories that MyFitnessPal has assumed, you'll end up eating more calories than you should. Fortunately, MyFitnessPal has a feature called "negative calorie adjustment," which, along with your activity tracker, gives you more accurate information about how many calories you should use daily.
Let's say your daily calorie goal is 2400, based on your gender and weight. Depending on the level of activity you enter in MyFitnessPal, you can estimate how many calories you need to burn each day, and that in your total amount. If you expect to burn 200 extra calories every day, your target will change to 2600 calories.
If you carry your activity tracker every day, it sends information to MyFitnessPal, z How many calories do you burn at work, while swimming in your pool, or when lifting weights? If your activity tracker says you've burned 1,000 calories on a very psychic day, MyFitnessPal adds those calories to your daily goal, meaning you'll need to consume 3,400 calories that day.
MyFitnessPal continues to believe that you are active and burn 200 extra calories per day. If the Negative Calorie Adjustment feature is disabled (this is the default setting), your Synchronized Activity Tracker will not be able to deduct calories from your total on a lazy day.
But here's the problem: If you burn only 100 extra calories on one of those calorie-rich days, the app will not tell you that you should consume less calories, though you should.
For this reason, you must enable negative calorie settings. If you do not burn the calories that MyFitnessPal expects of you, subtract the calories from your total intake. This means that you need to eat healthier on days when you are not exercising. If you carry your Activity Tracker throughout and want more feedback from MyFitnessPal, you should enable negative calorie settings. That's how it's done.
You can enable negative calorie adjustments only through a web browser and not the MyFitnessPal app for iOS or Android. To access it, log into on the MyFitnessPal website in your account, go to "My Home," then "Preferences" and "Journal Settings." Alternatively you can go directly to the page with the diary settings . Here you need to check the box next to "Enable Negative Adjustments" and then click "Save changes". This change will take effect the next time data is synchronized by your activity tracker.
<img src = "https://img.gadgethacks.com/img/14/88/63680604606306/0/why-enable-negative-calorie-adjustments-myfitnesspal.w1456.jpg" alt = "How and why If you activate negative calorie adjustments in MyFitnessPal it will subtract the calories you expected from training from your total daily intake, but there is one last consideration to keep in mind: When you are not wearing your device or the device constantly If you sync occasionally, you should leave the negative calorie setting off, otherwise, MFP will think you are not exercising at all Reduce the calorie target accordingly.
