Hong Kong Disneyland Reports Second-highest Revenues, Third-highest Attendance and Record Guest Spending
Posted by Mickey News | Feb 15, 2016 | Hong Kong Disneyland Resort News | 0 |
New offerings in the pipeline for 2016 and beyond underscore commitment to the tourism industry in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) today reported its results for fiscal 2015. Despite softness in the overall Hong Kong tourism industry, HKDL reported its second-highest annual revenues and third-highest annual attendance of 6.8 million. HKDL also achieved record guest spending, marking six consecutive years of per capita guest spending growth.
The resort registered record local attendance due to the successful Magic Access program as well as popular limited-time events and exclusive offerings. Lower visitation from mainland China and the region largely contributed to softer overall theme park attendance. HKDL has a diverse guest mix with dedicated services to meet their needs. Locals accounted for 39% of total attendance, while mainland and international visitation made up 41% and 20%, respectively. Hotel occupancy was close to 80%.
Impacted by the challenges in the tourism industry, HKDL generated revenues of HK$5,114 million, with a net loss of HK$148 million for the fiscal year ending in early October 2015.
"While fiscal 2015 was a challenging year in the entire tourism sector, we are committed to continuously contributing to the growth of the tourism industry in Hong Kong," said HKDL Managing Director Andrew Kam. "We are making significant investments in the guest experience at Hong Kong Disneyland, including new entertainment just launched as part of our 10th Anniversary celebration, the opening of the Iron Man Experience in 2016 and the construction of a new resort hotel, Disney Explorers Lodge, which will welcome its first guests in 2017."
"We take a long-term approach to wwweloping our resorts, and our investments in Hong Kong Disneyland illustrate both our confidence in the future of the resort and our belief in the destination of Hong Kong," he added.
Fiscal 2015 saw the introduction of "Disney Paint the Night" Parade, which has quickly become an internationally acclaimed highlight at the park. In 2015, the parade received top honors from industry leaders, including the Themed Entertainment Association's Thea Award forOutstanding Achievement – Parade Spectacular and the 2015 Brass Ring Award for Best Multimedia Spectacular from International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.
In November, HKDL kicked off its year-long "Happily Ever After" 10th Anniversary celebration with an array of specially-designed entertainment offerings, including the brand-new "Mickey and the Wondrous Book" stage show and the whimsical walkthrough attraction "Fairy Tale Forest" presented by PANDORA.
Looking ahead, the resort will continue to introduce exciting new experiences for guests. When a new themed area based on Marvel's Iron Man franchise opens this year, guests will join Tony Stark in battle across Hong Kong in a first-of-its-kind attraction. And the new Disney Explorers Lodge, a 750-room hotel dedicated to the spirit of exploration, is currently under construction. The hotel is slated to open in 2017 and will offer immersive, resort-style accommodations for guests with four themed gardens based on exotic global cultures.
HKDL also plans to launch new offerings later this year based on the blockbuster movie "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Brand new offers include a completely upgraded look for Space Mountain rollercoaster in Tomorrowland, which will be transformed into Hyperspace Mountain and fitted with out-of-this-world Star Wars elements. Also coming to the park is Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, where apprentices can use the Force to battle with lightsabers against the dark side, including Darth Vader.
Other incredible new experience include character greetings with beloved Disney friends from "Big Hero 6" and "Sofia the First." In the light of the popularity of Duffy and ShellieMay, a dedicated merchandise shop will be launched in coming months.
Continuous contributions to the community
For fiscal 2015, HKDL brought about HK$9.3 billion of value added to Hong Kong, equivalent to around 0.42% of the city's overall GDP. Also, 20,900 jobs (in terms of man-years) were created, benefiting Hong Kong's overall economy.
On average, HKDL employed more than 5,300 full-time and 2,500 part-time staff during the year, making the resort one of Hong Kong's largest employers. HKDL is committed to wwweloping a highly skilled and quality labour force, providing them more than 345,000 hours of professional and technical training during the fiscal year.
HKDL also supported the Li Ka Shing Institute of Professional and Continuing Education of the Open University of Hong Kong to launch a two-year Higher Diploma in Resort and Theme Park Management, a first-of-its-kind university program for nurturing talent in Hong Kong with a focus on the theme park industry.
The resort is committed to Hong Kong and the communities it serves. HKDL welcomed more than 100,000 underprivileged community members to visit the park and contributed over 9,000 hours of skills and services through its Disney VoluntEARS program. HKDL further encouraged volunteerism through a partnership with the Agency for Volunteers Services, which ultimately led to more than six million hours of service since the inauguration of the "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program in 2010.
Other community highlights from fiscal 2015 include providing support and HK$2 million in funding for the Hong Kong Design Centre to launch the Happy "D" Project for students to design a program that inspired creativity and happiness in the community. The project reached tens of thousands of people in 12 districts of Hong Kong.
HKDL received a total of 92 awards during the fiscal year in recognition of its design, technical achievements, guest service, family appeal, and commitment to the community and the environment.

13 Things You Only Know if You're a Disney Parks Fan


We all have bad work habits, and most of us are content to put up with them for the foreseeable future.
Bad work habits usually develop over time…for example, you may find that you are late to meetings, that you deliver reports after deadlines or that you have low productivity.
Sure, they may make us a little less productive, and they might not look great in a performance review, but they're relatively harmless when they creep into our daily routines.
Trading good work habits for bad ones may result in a happier, more efficiently working "you". Long running habits may take time to break, but you are likely to see your performance and evaluations improve when you make the effort.
In this interactive and informative webinar attendees will discuss 10 common poor work habits and work on some of their own while learning alternative behaviors to begin using in their daily routines.

LED lightening
LED lighting is a set of equipment for illumination of various kinds, based on the radiation produced by electric current in special semiconductor devices. Plus, this technical solution in significant savings. The efficiency of LED lighting is much higher than incandescent lamps.
LEDs and lighting
It turned out to be difficult to believe half a century ago, but today LED lighting is considered the most economical of all. An additional plus in a wide range of shades, characterized by a special parameter - temperature, information is located on the package. Savings in comparison with incandescent bulbs is 10 times, LED lighting is undoubtedly characterized by better color reproduction than halogen bit sources.
Developers promise incredible durability of their own products. The average lifetime of LED lighting is 30,000 hours and reaches 50,000. These are many decades of trouble-free operation. Thanks to the built-in driver, the LED light bulb is not terrible voltage surges, dramatically reducing service life. There are also difficulties in using switches with light indication.
Light from LEDs
On sale there will be branded products priced at up to 2,000 rubles apiece, Chinese consumer goods are ten times cheaper. And it is impossible to say anything bad about the latter. Choose LED lighting relies on power and the absence of flicker. Revealing a negative effect is not difficult with a poor quality camera. An old phone or iPad will do. Not a professional camera. Focus on a glass flask and carefully see if flicker is present.
From the history of the development of semiconductor technology
A prerequisite for the creation of the first LED from silicon carbide was the 1907 article in the magazine Electric World, published in New York by McGraw and Hill. The text said that Henry Joseph Round was experimenting with carborundum crystal and discovered an amazing, previously unseen phenomenon. At connection of electrodes of a direct current the luminescence was noted. Only selected samples showed an effect at a voltage of 10 V, but any crystal began to luminesce as the value increased to 110 V.
In most cases, the luminescence was yellow and located near the negative pole, the positive periodically flashed greenish-blue sparks. In addition to this, samples of the crystals showed light green, blue and orange colors. The round tried to place the negative electrode in the middle of the crystal, then the only pole( positive) became to emit light. Thus, the scientist brings readers to the concept of a metal-semiconductor transition, then unknown in science( the Schottky rectifying contact).
Straightening Schottky Contact
The origin of the carborundum is enmeshed in deep mystery. This is apparently the only mineral originally obtained in the laboratory by Edward Godrich Acheson( 1890).Three years later, Henri Moissan discovered something similar in the fragments of a meteorite that overtook the Devil's Valley of Arizona, and decided that there was a diamond in front of him. A long 11 years was spent on understanding the true chemical composition of the find, while carborundum continued to be used by industry as the strongest abrasives.
Being a silicon carbide by chemical formula, the mineral moissanite shows a Mohs scale of 9.5 points and is truly comparable to natural diamond: only a precious mineral( and boron nitride, but the compound was first obtained exclusively in 1957) and is inferior to an alien from space. For obvious reasons, it was suggested that the "diamond" hit a meteorite during the development of the excavators, having broken away from the mining tool.
Mineral, which became a prerequisite for the creation of LED lighting, was named after the discoverer in 1904, several years before the death of the latter. In nature, moissanite is extremely rare. Among the likely places of residence, in addition to meteorites, are called corundum deposits and deposits of diamonds. And until 1959, even these foci were not called: Henri Moissan ran into something extremely rare. In the late 50s of the 20th century, natural moissanite was found at once in two points of the globe:
Yakut diamond mines.
Formation of the Green River Wyoming.
Spectral analysis data suggests that carborundum is considered a frequent visitor to rocks hovering around the carbon-rich stars of the galaxy. It is surprising, but the discovery of the LEDs was forgotten for a long time. Information emerged already during the Cold War, when the first semiconductor lasers were demonstrated simultaneously in several places. About LED lighting then did not think.
LEDs based on silicon carbide
Electroluminescence discovered recently, at the beginning of the XX century. The great advantage of the new phenomenon is the fact that the glow is noticeable at room temperatures. An ordinary incandescent light bulb, as you know, was greeted with applause from theater visitors for comparative safety with regard to gas horns. LED lighting by all signs surpassed predecessors by an order of magnitude: even after hours of work, the glass bulb remains slightly warm.
Industrial production of silicon carbide began in 1891.Developed by Acheson, proceeded at high temperatures in a coal crucible, where the conditions for the transformation of ordinary glass into a superhard mineral were created using an electric current. The reaction goes in two stages. Carbon reduces tetravalent silica to two valent, then a similar reaction occurs. Carbon monoxide released needed intensive oxidation to deactivate.
Carborundum shows extreme hardness in the first place, due to the similarity of the crystal lattice with the diamond. The low cost of synthesis led to high popularity as an abrasive of a new chemical compound. Henry Joseph Round experimented with detectors for the first electromagnetic wave receivers, and discovered a new phenomenon. Semiconductor rectifiers were called to replace an expensive vacuum diode, as LED lighting gradually replaces the incandescent light bulbs.
Two-stage conditions for the transformation of
The phenomenon detected by the Round would have been noticed in some Schottky diodes, if we apply a voltage much higher than the operating one. In this case, avalanche multiplication of minority charge carriers( holes) in the metal occurs. They are injected into a semiconductor, where they are recombined with electrons, and the difference in energy levels just falls within the visible range of radiation. The phenomenon can also be observed with a strong reverse displacement of the transition. There are even special studies on this score.
Russian Losev usually does not appear in the scientific literature, but the author's merit in creating LED lighting is indisputable. The experimenter found that some diodes glow when turned on in the forward direction, others - in all cases. He derived a formula for the dependence of the radiation frequency on the magnitude of the voltage drop at the junction, patented the world's first optical relay. Work continued from 1924 until the beginning of the Second World War.
In 1939, Zoltan Bay and Georgy Zhigeti patented a silicon carbide-based LED with the option of replacing boron carbide that emitted colors: white, pale yellow, and pale green, depending on the impurities introduced into the materials. Along the way, we note the developments of Kurt Lekhovits, doped silicon carbide with arsenic to obtain n-conductivity and boron - for p-conductivity. According to the text of the patent, it is said about the possibility of introducing into the material of the LEDs a number of other impurities: lead, tin, copper, zinc, europium, samarium, bismuth, thallium, manganese, silver and cerium.
Losev's work was actively interested in Lebner, an employee of the US embassy, who patented the green LED in 1958.A decade later, they learned how to make thin-film silicon carbide structures, which made it possible to create LED lighting, where the correct shape is used as a working element.
LED illumination
Development of LEDs and lighting
It turned out to be harder to get blue. Already in the middle of the 20th century, it became clear that the devices had a great future; to use( not for lighting) in television, it was necessary to allow one of the color schemes. For example, the famous RGB.A blue LED was required. The efficiency at the beginning of the 60s of such a device was only 0.005%.Silicon carbide was not the best solution for such problems, the brightest samples worked at a wave of 470 nm with an efficiency of 0.03%.For LED lighting, this is clearly not suitable.
Attention of researchers attracted the publication of the French scientist Destrio, who suggested using zinc sulfide as the main material of LEDs. As a result, semiconductors of class AIII BV gained popularity, to which GaAs, which is found everywhere today, belongs. The era of the new compound started in 1954, when they learned to melt thin plates from the melt, and the epitaxy made it possible to form pn junctions on the surface, which is used today in LED lighting.
In 1962, there were reports of the creation of the first semiconductor lasers in the infrared range, with a wave from 870 to 890 nm. The devices were clearly called to replace the ruby, without targeting the creation of LED lighting. New devices operated in continuous mode at temperatures of 77 K. Then the temperature rose to 300 K( room temperature).Much attention was paid to the technological aspect of LED production, which became the basis of success in the task of creating LED lighting. In the 60s, a horizontal method was developed for growing gallium arsenide crystals according to the Bridgeman method.
Radiation of LEDs from gallium arsenide with silicon impurities went above the absorption range of the substrate of pure gallium arsenide. As a result, all the power of the flow went to destination without weakening. And gallium arsenide behaved like clear glass. The output of quanta increased 5 times in comparison with materials obtained by zinc diffusion methods. IBM employees Rupprecht and Woodall worked underground, in their free time. Everyone was engaged in their own material. Accordingly, GaAsP and AlGaAs. The first alloy was considered hopeless. The difficulty manifested itself in technology. It was difficult to grow the correct form of stable crystals. Aluminum, among other things, actively added oxygen from the air, the oxidation centers extinguished the luminescence phenomena.
Woodall when he was a graduate student specialized in metallurgy and heard something about the phase transitions of metals. And I decided to experiment with the concentration of aluminum in the melt. As a result of the fulfillment of certain conditions, it was possible to obtain a film with a thickness of 100 microns, which made it possible to create LEDs with a spectrum in the region of a dark red hue. Further increase in the concentration of aluminum shifted the area of transparency of the substance, it was possible to create on the basis of the same material a working pn-junction and a substrate for it.
A working circuit from a GaAsP-based instrument with a power source on a conventional battery was immediately assembled and demonstrated to IBM management. Some people have recognized the invention as very promising. The first application was found in the display area on motherboards. At the same time, Texas Instruments has established a serial production of infrared devices with an amazing price of $ 130 per piece.

Google maps says "Mostly flat". Riiiiight.
Inside the Quality Inn. Wow!
I was hoping we would stop in Winfield. It's the county seat and has the county museum. Winfield was the home for the Kansas State Asylum for Idiotic and Imbecile Youth, which had a dark history. The buildings are now part of the Winfield Correctional Facility. Arkansas City was a registration point for settlers who came here to get land in Oklahoma territory in what the largest land rush yet. It is known as the Cherokee Strip Land Rush. About 100,000 participants took advantage of the US Government's offer of homesteads. Unfortunately, we'll miss out on the museum because we'll be long gone by the time they open at 1:00 pm tomorrow.
The winds were strong today. Most of the time we had a side wind and we leaned to the left to compensate. When traffic allowed I rode next to Kathy to take the brunt of the wind. I don't know if it helped at all but I made the effort.
We were happy to be done with today's ride. It was just a little strenuous. Sitting in the hotel room at 2:30 pm I felt like it was already 7:00. I did the laundry and found a Kershaw pocket knife in the washing machine. It's similar to the Kershaw I own but smaller. Now I'm twice as likely to hurt myself. 😁 The freshly cleaned knife came in handy cutting the pizza we had for dinner.
We're only a couple miles from the Oklahoma border so tomorrow we hit state #41.
Kathy – We left this morning at 7:30 am to hopefully stay dry and avoid the afternoon rain that was scheduled. Leaving early meant riding in cold temperatures starting out at 33 degrees with the wind chill. We eventually warmed up into the low 50's but with the wind chill it was only 43 degrees. The rain has not come yet.

Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 842 - Leases, the new FASB lease accounting standard aimed at closing a major concern of stakeholders in lease accounting in accordance with ASC 840, went live for public companies this past January 1 and will be effective for nonpublic companies beginning January 1, 2020. Although the new standard scopes out leases for the exploration of minerals, oil, natural gas and other non-regenerative resources subject to the guidance of FASB ASC 930, Extractive Activities - Mining and ASC 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas, companies in the natural resource sector are paying particular attention to the implementation rules.
Under ASC 842, more arrangements are expected to meet the definition of a lease compared with previous accounting standards. In accordance with the new guidance, a contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. That means agreements for processing and pipelines, gathering and transportation, and drill rig contracts may meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842.
Additionally, many lease arrangements include both lease and non-lease components as part of the consideration a company pays throughout a contract. In accordance with ASC 842, unless a company adopts a practical expedient to combine them, companies are now required to allocate a portion of the consideration paid to the different components based on standalone selling prices. Drill rig contracts deemed to be within the scope of ASC 842 could require such a review of the various components.
The new lease accounting standard is a significant change from the prior accounting rule. Assessing the impact will be important for companies as they communicate the changes to stakeholders.

A Headley Grange egy egykori szegényház az angliai East Hampshire megye Headley nevű települése mellett, amely azzal tett szert hírnévre, hogy az 1960-as és 1970-es években több rockegyüttes – Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac és mások – is hangstúdióként használta. A Headley Grange jelenleg lakóház.

A dologház
Az 1795-ben, mintegy 1500 fontos költségen felépített háromemeletes épület Headley, Bramshott és Kingsley egyházközségek dologházaként működött (angol neve House of Industry volt). Elszegényedett, beteg idősek, árván maradt és házasságon kívül született gyermekek laktak benne, akiknek ruhájukon fém kitűzőt kellett viselniük, rajta a HP (Headley Poor, headley-i szegény jelentésű) betűkkel.

1830. november 20-án a szomszédos egyházmegyében, Selborne-ban lázadás tört ki. A földbirtoksok az egyházi tized csökkentését követelték, ami lehetővé tette volna, hogy magasabb bért fizessenek a munkásaiknak. November 23-án a felkelés Headley és Kingsley egyházmegyékre is átterjedt. A headley-i szegényházat részben helyiek, részeben az onnan 11 kilométer távolságra lévő Selborne-ból idevonultak megostromolták és kifosztották.

A felkelés elfojtása után a szegényház egy ideig még tovább működött. Az épületet 1870-ben vásárolta meg 420 fontért Thomas Kemp építész, aki magánházzá alakította át, és elnevezte Headley Grange-nek.

A hangstúdió
Az első Headley környékén dolgozó együttes a Fleetwood Mac volt, amely 1970–74 között a településtől északkeletre lévő Benifold nevű, korábban egy szerzetesrend által használt, házban vette fel Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin és Mystery to Me című albumait.

Headley Grange-et próbahelyként már ennél korábban is használták együttesek, de 1970 májusában a Led Zeppelin volt az első, amely harmadik albuma egyes felvételeit az akkor nem túl jó állapotban lévő épületben készítette el. Később a Led Zeppelin IV, a Houses of the Holy és a Physical Graffiti albumok egyes dalait is itt írták meg és/vagy vették fel.

Robert Plant itt írta a Stairway to Heaven szövegének nagy részét. A negyedik albumon található Black Dog ('fekete kutya') egy fekete labradorról kapta a címét, amely Headley Grange körül kóborolt a felvételek készítése idején.

Jimmy Page ezt nyilatkozta a szokatlan stúdióról:

Egy 2010-es interjúban Page bővebben is beszélt arról, miért választották a helyszínt:

A Genesis Headley Grange-ben írta 1974-es koncepcióalbumuk, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway jó részét. A Pretty Things, a Bad Company, Ian Dury (1976-ban) és a Clover (1977-ben) szintén Headley Grange vendégei voltak a hetvenes években.

Addressing the steps needed to overhaul the economic development strategy of Málaga.
The aim of the project is to address the different steps of the transition of Málaga´s economic model, through the organisation of several workshops which provided the necessary input to overhaul the economic development strategy of the city.
Fundación CIEDES and PROMALAGA were the main facilitators of the workshops, while OSMOS and Brussels Environment contributed with the facilitation of one of them. In addition, local community, businesses, the University of Málaga and, the Municipality of Málaga were invited to join in. Political actors had only a sporadically participation in the workshops.
The four different workshops included local and regional partners and addressed different issues. While some looked at the regional strategy, others addressed challenges in specific neighbourhoods of Málaga, for instance by exploring the potential of Produce Service Systems (PSS) or circular economy.
The workshops built on the existing regional development plan "Málaga Metropoli Abierta", elaborated in 2006. The plan emphasised the role of the Mediterranean sea for the city's development and included a vision that still influences the strategic thinking. Catch-phrases are "Málaga Integrated and Integrating City" and "Málaga Sustainable Use of the City".
On a political level, the workshops were conducted with the assistance of City Hall Economic area, and the urbanism sector of the city, which were included in the ongoing planning with local authorities and public institutions (LAPI).
In the first stage of the workshop, there was some initial shyness that hindered addressing issues frontally. It took some time to build confidence within the groups; therefore, the positive side effect of organising several workshops was that working on a regular basis proved to be quite useful to get to know each other.
The networks of CIEDES as well as the intimate knowledge of the regional economic was very helpful for the process. CIEDES has already steered the drafting Strategic Development Plan and thus, together with PROMALAGA, they could contribute with human resources for making the workshops a success. Additionally, the platform benefited from venues to host the workshops and the TURAS network, including access to international experts and facilitators. On the other hand, given the complexity of a regional economic development plan, it could have been useful to be able to access a methodology or process that deals with this complexity, by making it manageable without oversimplifying the issues.
The proactive attitude and willingness to participate in the audience, as well as the international networks, were very constructive to make a significant progress.
The workshops resulted in the elaboration of a Regional Action Plan that organised the next steps towards a new regional development model. So far the measurable change has only come in form of changes in the governance structure of the planning process, not yet in economic, social or environmental outputs. This is due to the late joining of Málaga in the TURAS project and hence, its need to catch up with other city-regions. As a consequence, the experimentation process in Málaga is therefore still very young compared to the other TURAS partner regions.
The workshops led to change the governance setup of how strategic decisions regarding regional economy are taken. One benefit that is already visible is the integration of civil society into the planning processes that address city challenges.
The regional economy of Málaga has been unsustainable in the past as it was dominated by boom and bust cycles in the construction sector and tourism industry. Therefore, a more reflexive and voluntaristic regional development plan will provide for more economic sustainability, whereas a lower dependency on the construction sector will also foster environmental sustainability by slowing down the speed of permeabilisation and housing development.
"In recent years, the city of Málaga has carried out a beneficial study in order to evaluate the strategies which will enable the city to define the action plans and unique projects in the lead up to Málaga 2020. With the pilot we organized within the TURAS Project, we learned that bringing together the knowledge of an international team, a group of local stakeholders and the business community is quite useful to define an action plan."

Bruno Mars joins an elite group of men as the 10th male to grace the cover of Playboy.
PHOTOS: 54th Annual Grammy Winners and Nominees
The Grammy Award-winning musician is featured in the mag's April Sex and Music issue, out March 16. He appears on the cover alongside Raquel Pomplun, as well as in a fashion pictorial and interview on the inside pages. In his feature, Mars models spring designs by Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and more.
"Growing up in the showbiz world, I looked up to those guys: Frank Sinatra and of course Elvis Presley," he told Playboy of his idols. "My dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you'll see you had to be sharp onstage."
PHOTOS: The Best (and Worst) Moments of the Grammys
Mars flaunts his signature style and dresses sharply for his photo spread, which includes the colorful shot below. Mars is pictured below wearing a shirt by Palace Costume Los Angeles, pants by Louis Vuitton, sunglasses by Ray-Ban and loafers by Re-Mix. In the cover shot above, Mars dons his own personal Armani suit.
Surprisingly, the "Grenade" singer chose Jimi Hendrix, not Sinatra or Presley, as the musician he would most like to work with if given the opportunity. "I think he's the greatest guitar player in the world, and I would want to see him do his thing in person," Mars said. "He's the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place."
As a Playboy cover star, Mars follows in the footsteps of several Hollywood icons. Peter Sellers was the first Y-chromosome to appear on the cover back in April 1967, followed by Burt Reynolds (October 1979), Steve Martin (January 1980), Donald Trump (March 1990), Dan Aykroyd (August 1993), Jerry Seinfeld (October 1993), Leslie Nielson (February 1996), Gene Simmons (March 1999) and Seth Rogen (April 2009).

Despite tremendous growth in wind energy capacity in the U.S., the antiquated energy distribution system is preventing wind from reaching its full potential—often forcing wind farms to throttle back on windy days. Although the technology to solve the problem has existed for years, foot-dragging by utility companies has left the U.S. ill-prepared to take advantage of wind and other renewable energy sources.
That's becoming a bigger problem every year, as an alternative energy revolution continues to gather strength. In 2012, wind power was the biggest source (43%) of new energy capacity while its price neared an all-time low and total U.S. wind-generation capacity reached 60 gigawatts–5% of total production capacity, with more than twice that much (135 GW) in the pipeline.
David Blittersdorf, chief executive of AllEarth Renewables, which owns Georgia Mountain Community Wind in Vermont, is less reticent in placing blame. "We have a grid system that's not smart—it's kind of dumb, it's a 100-year-old system—and they run it like fossils and nukes are the only things that matter and the rest of us, they can fiddle with," he told The New York Times.
Because electricity is energy, its nature is to move and not to rest, and storage of electricity for later use in large quantities is so far impracticable. As a result, electricity must be used as soon as it is generated, and managers of the complex system of networks to distribute power from power plants to users—called the power grid—must match demand and supply in real time.
When the power grid was designed, electric power generation was dominated by large power plants burning fossil fuels or splitting atoms, and high capacity transmission lines were placed only near them. Wind farms, however, are typically located in sparsely populated areas or even off-shore, where high capacity lines do not exist. Bottlenecks also occur when more energy is being produced than the system can safely transport.
The result is called curtailment. In Vermont during last year's record heat wave, for example, the grid operator curtailed the Kingdom Community Wind Farm to just one-third of the energy it could have produced, telling Green Mountain Power, which owns the wind plant, to use diesel powered units instead.
In Vermont, meanwhile, Kingdom Community Wind Farm is installing $10 million in equipment that is supposed to even out the flow of energy and reduce curtailments, although grid officials have made no promises.

Adventure & Resistance- A Brief History Of The Rolex Explorer
Author: Zach Kazan
In 1953, when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first men to summit Mt. Everest, the world's tallest peak, the sport of mountaineering was very different than it is today. In modern times, each spring is an opportunity for the wealthy to buy their way to the top of Everest. Permits to climb the mountain are sold at a seemingly unlimited rate by the Nepali government, and it's not uncommon to find traffic jams en route to the summit, a space as large as a few ping pong tables, perpetually crowded with exhausted climbers taking selfies in the crystal clear Himalayan light. The British Mount Everest Expedition of 1953 was the ninth attempt to reach Everest's summit, and it was by no means a guaranteed success. Previous expeditions had been cut short by bad weather, poor planning, mishaps with oxygen supplies, and death. The expedition in 1953 didn't exactly go according to plan, either. Led by Colonel John Hunt, Hillary and Norgay were not the mountaineers initially chosen from the team of 15 to make the first (and most likely) summit attempt. Delays in traversing the Lhotse Face led to a series of decisions that put Hillary and Norgay, briefly, and nearly depleted of oxygen, on the summit, all alone, and forever in the history books.
Rolex, as part of their constant shrewdly and brilliantly market every watch they've ever made, gifted Hillary and Norgay simple Rolexes to wear on their Everest attempt in '53. The watch in question was not, as so many believe, what we now know as the Rolex Explorer, but a simple Oyster Perpetual. Time only, with a white dial and easy to read triangular applied indices all around. The idea here was that the pair would wear the watches throughout the expedition, and send them back to Rolex after for testing (and, one presumes, quite a bit of commercial activity). Rolex had a history of sponsoring expeditions in the Himalayas and frequently provided timepieces to mountaineers for testing purposes, dating back to the 1930s.
But there was another watch brand represented on the mountain during that historic expedition: the British watchmaker, Smiths. Hillary used Smiths gear on many of his expeditions, and when the news of the successful summit attempt reached the UK, Smiths was eager to jump on the bandwagon, claiming in advertisements (using Hillary's own words) to be the watch worn at the summit. All these years later, it's impossible to know for sure what, exactly, was on Hillary's wrist when he reached the top (although we can be reasonably certain Norgay was wearing his Rolex).
Ultimately, Rolex and Smiths each benefited from marketing their watches as "Everest watches" for a period of time. Smiths success, however, was much shorter lived. Rolex was able to parlay the Everest expedition into a marketing campaign that really hasn't stopped since 1953, while Smiths went belly-up in the wake of the quartz crisis of the 1970s.

Regardless of the details of who actually wore what and when, one thing that there is no doubt about when it comes to the 1953 Everest expedition is that it set the table for Rolex to introduce one of the absolute key watches in their history, the Rolex Explorer. Introduced not long after the successful expedition, the Explorer was marketed as a simple and pure tool watch, capable of any human feat, in any condition you can imagine. Waterproof to 100 meters, instantly legible with a high contrast black dial, and sized with the idea that it should be small enough to stay out of everyone's way until called upon, the Explorer is in many ways the ultimate all-purpose, everyday sports watch. It could easily go from a mountaintop on one vacation to a diving excursion on another, and handle whatever nightlife you chose to throw at it with style and panache to spare in between.
Rolex spun off the Explorer to a new model, a sequel of sorts, the Explorer II, in 1971. This watch, with a brightly colored and oversized 24-hour hand, was intended to be used by spelunkers who would inevitably lose track of their own circadian rhythms during extended periods exploring caves. Between these two Explorers, Rolex created what are perhaps the most quintessential watches for men (and women) who require something simple, reliable, and legible doing all manner of insanely brave things. As with all of the best purpose-built sports watches, they've been adopted and loved even by those who explore little more than the neighborhood grocery store or a PTA meeting (treacherous though these tasks may be).
"It doesn't matter if you have zero interest in personally getting to the top of Everest or any other Himalayan peak - owning the watch that was inspired by that incredible human effort, and understanding its importance, helps to keep the story alive for generations to come"
The Explorer series has always been a low profile choice in the Rolex catalog and thus loved by collectors and enthusiasts a bit more than the general public. They lean toward the technical or professional side of Rolex, as opposed to the commercial, and therein, I think, lies the charm. Early Explorers, with their matte dials and jangly bracelets, are almost comically humble. You hold one in your hand, and maybe see some still radioactive lume flaking off the hands, and briefly question the watch's durability. The case, though, is built like a tank, and the movement ticking away inside is designed by Rolex specifically to withstand the worst shocks a watch can endure. The kind you might experience at the literal top of the world.
Great watches that have a history behind them give you a little taste of that shared human experience every time you look down to check the time. It doesn't matter if you have zero interest in personally getting to the top of Everest or any other Himalayan peak – owning the watch that was inspired by that incredible human effort, and understanding its importance, helps to keep the story alive for generations to come.

Q: Es6 classes late static binding Is there late static binding in es6 classes.(without hacks)
For example:
class Base {
    static make() {
        return new  ....
    }
}

class Implementation1 extends Base {}

class Implementation2 extends Base{}

Basically I want to set base static methods in the base class and do this:
Implementation1::make(); Implementation2::make();

Without copying the method in each class.
The alternative in PHP is:
return new static();
