This sailing journey starts off from Cannes travelling through the gems of Italy and France. Visit the picturesque harbour of Portofino, marvel at the stunning landscape of Calvi in Corsica and explore St Tropez, the Mediterranean's most renowned corner of paradise on this Star Clippers Tall Ship sailing adventure.
Back to France Tours
Explore the Mediterranean resort city of Cannes, famous for its high flying lifestyle.
Discover the picturesque harbour of Portifino, a small but perfectly coiffured coastal village.
Visit St Tropez & French Riviera, the Mediterranean's most renowned corner of paradise.
Glittering Cannes is the archetypal Mediterranean resort city discovered by wealthy English nobles who came to the sunny south of France to escape their drafty old castles during the dreary British winters. Cannes' high flying lifestyle has attracted notables and the notorious ever since. Every year, the stars flock to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival at the colossal Palais des Festivals.
Portofino, Italy
Portofino is a fishing village on the Italian Riveria coastline. It's pastel-coloured houses, luxury boutiques and seafood restaurants surround its Piazzetta, a small cobbled square overlooking the harbor, which is lined with super-yachts. A short walk takes you up to the Church of St. George, a church with a cool, plain interior, dramatically situated on the narrow neck of the Portofino headland. As a lookout point, and probably as a site of religious significance, the spot goes back thousands of years.
Propriano, Corsica
The coastal town of Propriano is found on the coast of south-west coast of Corsica about halfway between the major towns of Ajaccio and Bonifacio. The harbour contains a fascinating combination of exclusive yachts and more modest fishing boats and is worth a visit to get some of the best views of the town. The own centre has plenty of luxury shops, cafes and bars to enjoy.
Stintino, Sardinia
Stintino is a small village on the north-west coast of Sardinia. Despite the influx of tourists to the island the area has remained peaceful and enjoys a very traditional way of life. The beaches here are considered to be some of the best in Sardinia with powder white sand over looking beautiful crystal clear turquoise seas.
Calvi, Corsica
Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded because of the wonderful perfume of the maquis. Approaching by sea, it is the first thing you experience about Corsica. The second is its wild and mountainous landscape. Nearby are secluded beaches and the eerie Grottes des Veaux Marins, offering fantastic diving opportunities.
Bandol, France
Bandol is a calm little seaside resort in a sheltered bay surrounded by hills that protect it from the wind. It has three sandy beaches and a yachting harbour as well as plenty of bars and restaurants The seafront promenade is shaded by pine and palm trees and an abundance of mimosa. Every morning there is a market in the centre of town.
ST TROPEZ, France
It is said that the most spectacular way to approach the exquisite harbour of St. Tropez is by sea. St. Tropez is a people-watcher's paradise, so you will also want to explore her famous beaches, bistros and bars. The appropriately named Tahiti Plage is where topless sun tanning started, and whether you prefer to take it off or take it all in, there's always plenty to see in St. Tropez.

Just days after Governor Tom Corbett signed the Pennsylvania state budget a few minutes before midnight, the effects are transparent — even if the process was not. To start things off today, the Harrisburg Patriot-News takes a look at the newly passed state budget.
The nearly $27.7 billion budget includes no tax increase or new taxes. It ensures that no public school or public university receives less money than last year.
The 2012-13 budget cuts business taxes by $288 million and doubles funding for tax credits for businesses supporting education.
"It is the choice of the governor and the Republican-controlled House and Senate that we don't have money to spend on children with disabilities, on people in wheelchairs, on college students and students in school," said Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster. "I understand that this budget before us is a little bit better than what Gov. Corbett had proposed initially ... but that doesn't make this one a good proposal."
For more budget-related information throughout the day, please head over to the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center's website.
Passage of the budget led to severe cuts for many vital human services, the Lancaster Intelligencer-Journal reports that although the cut to General Assistance will be delayed a month, the impact will be devastating to the nearly 70,000 individuals who will lose benefits.
The budget, signed by Gov. Tom Corbett last night, eliminated the $150 million General Assistance program, which since the Great Depression has provided cash assistance to single people. The program was initially slated to end today, July 1, but Democrats won a one-month delay so the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare can notify recipients — including 1,518 people in Lancaster County — that they will lose benefits.
Finally, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette takes a look at the 20 counties that will participate in the human services block grant pilot program (including a 10% funding cut) and asks county commissioners about the impact.
Washington County Commissioner Larry Maggi noted the task of maintaining human services with increased flexibility, but with fewer state dollars.
"The upside to that is who would better know who needs money than the local government, rather than somebody in Harrisburg deciding who should get the money here in Washington County?" he said. "The downside is the state keeps cutting those dollars, and they look to us -- the commissioners, the local government -- to fill that gap."
While Westmoreland County Commissioner Ted Kopas, worried combining the lines would ease the way for future reductions.
"Anytime you put money into a block grant, it becomes a dollar figure," he said. "The further you move from the people at the end of the line, the easier it is to cut. I've seen this act before."

Rescuing birds from a stinky demise
A boreal owl looks up, miserably trapped in an outhouse toilet. The Teton Raptor Center has worked for six years to get screens on outhouse vents to save birds and small animals from this fate. Having screened 981 public lands outhouses in Wyoming, the project is now at work in 26 states and hopes to make a difference in all 50. (Joe Foust, U.S.Forest Service, Boise National Forest, Idaho)
October 7, 2016 by Kelsey Dayton Leave a Comment
It was a haunting picture. An adorably small boreal owl trapped at the bottom of a vault toilet – an outhouse – surrounded by human waste and garbage.
"At first glance, your gut reaction is 'This is not OK,'" said Amy McCarthy, executive director of the Teton Raptor Center. "You want to reach out and help the bird, but you don't really want to reach out into that."

McCarthy knew birds could get trapped in the toilets after mistaking the pipes that vent the outhouses as a hole for burrowing in. She'd heard stories of people entering an outhouse only to see two glowing eyes looking up from the toilet. But seeing the pathetic-looking owl in that photo, which circulated out from the Boise National Forest, made her want to take immediate action.
She knew the solution had to be inconspicuous, maintenance-free and as long-lasting as the toilet.
The Poo-Poo Project
In 2010 the Teton Raptor Center launched the Poo-Poo Project, an effort to screen the vents on vault toilets – outhouses typical of Forest Service and other public lands rest areas. The Center started by helping to outfit vault toilets in Wyoming with vent screens, but the program has since expanded into 26 states. The Teton Raptor Center hopes to partner with agencies in all 50 states by the end of this year, said David Watson, program coordinator.
"Even one owl is too many to die this way," he said. "Being trapped at the bottom of a vault toilet? That's not how you want to go."
Cavity nesting birds, like many owl species, kestrels, woodpeckers and a few duck species, are drawn to the outhouse pipes, which appear to be a natural cavity, Watson said. Once in, they can't gain purchase on the smooth surface to crawl out and it's too tight a space to spread their wings and fly. They end up trapped. There are even occasional reports of small animals, like foxes, which might burrow into the pipe when the snow levels are high and trap themselves.
As far away as Vermont, a staff member at the Missisquoi National Refuge installs a screen received from the Teton Raptor Center. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)
The Teton Raptor Center started buying rock screens, originally designed to keep out the stones kids throw into pipes. But snow could cover and clog vents fitted with those screens, so staff worked out a different design. The Poo-Poo Project screens sit almost an inch above the opening, allowing ventilation on the sides even if the top is covered with snow. The Teton Raptor Center has sold more than 7,000 of the specially designed screens since it created them in 2013. The new design also brought the cost down from $100 per screen to about $30, allowing more agencies to buy more screens, Watson said. There are 981 screened vault toilets now in Wyoming on state park forest service, Grand Teton National Park and Bureau of Land Management land.
The Teton Raptor Center started a program this summer allowing individuals to donate $35 to the Raptor Center, enough to buy and instal of a screen.
"You can't help but be moved to action to do something, especially when the action is so simple and so affordable," McCarthy said of the program's success.
There isn't data on how many birds are trapped each year, just anecdotal information, Watson said. Nor are there numbers on how many vault toilets exist in the country.
A long-eared owl was rescued from an outhouse, but suffered damage to its feathers, since its wingspread was too wide to allow escape. The Teton Raptor Center designed special vent screens to stop birds and animals from mistakenly burrowing into outhouse pipes. The Center makes the screens available to public lands agencies for $30 each. (BLM)
While the Teton Raptor Center's next milestone will be to have vault toilets screened in every state, McCarthy has a bigger goal.
"The ultimate success would be that all existing vault toilets will be screened and any new vault toilets come with screens," she said.
The Teton Raptor Center is working with the National Park Service and the Forest Service to change regulations, so that new vault toilets will be required to have screens when installed.
"There are regulations on everything from the toilet paper to the roller that holds it, why can't they say there has to be a screen on the pipes?" Watson said.

McCarthy hopes the project encourages people to think about preventable hazards they can mitigate at home, like dryer vents, or chimneys that can injure birds.
"The Poo-Poo Project is just the very beginning of a conservation message and a way people can take action," she said.

Q: regexp to search and replace any string that starts from a keyword Hi want a create a regexp that takes below string and masks all ID at all position that starts from "dream".
 s = """Cli house create --house-id dream1.house.hc1.area.aaaaaaaah454432fg7zf5h2ufqxvfhzqokkaufgf5znua36p4puwnog7akcq --zip-code 123456 --sub-zip-id dream1.zip.zc1.area..aaaaaaaawjdrauwdwzn4kfsma7bomq26l3zjeqmx6qsgihhr4kadmbgngxlq --type victorian"""

and converts it to
s = """Cli house create --house-id dream1.house.hc1.area.<ID> --zip-code 123456 --sub-zip-id dream1.zip.zc1.area..<ID> --type victorian"""

s = re.sub(r"(dream\w*.+)(?= *.)(.+)", "\1", s)
but it only works if ID is at end i.e
dreamCli house create --house-id dream1.house.hc1.area.aaaaaaaah454432fg7zf5h2ufqxvfhzqokkaufgf5znua36p4puwnog7akcq

an id will always in in this format
dream< digit >.< string >.< string >.< string > ....

A: You could match
(\bdream\S*\.)\S*

*

*( Capture group 1

*

*\bdream\S*\. A word boundary, match dream followed till the last dot whithout matching whitespace chars,

*) Close group

*\S* Match 0+ non whitespace char (Match what follows without matching whitespace chars)

And replace with the capturing group followed by <ID>
\1<ID>

Regex demo
Example code
import re

regex = r"(\bdream\S*\.)\S*"
test_str = "Cli house create --house-id dream1.house.hc1.area.aaaaaaaah454432fg7zf5h2ufqxvfhzqokkaufgf5znua36p4puwnog7akcq --zip-code 123456 --sub-zip-id dream1.zip.zc1.area..aaaaaaaawjdrauwdwzn4kfsma7bomq26l3zjeqmx6qsgihhr4kadmbgngxlq --type victorian"
result = re.sub(regex, r"\1<ID>", test_str)

Chaz Davies Scott Redding Ducati Panigale V4 R Superbike 2020 Races
Imprint & Data security
Ducati presents the new Hypermotard 950 RVE version
Ducati presents the new Hypermotard 950 RVE, which is part of the Borgo Panigale fun-bike family between the entry model Hypermotard 950 and the top of the range Hypermotard 950 SP.
The Hypermotard 950 RVE is characterized by a livery called "Graffiti" that is inspired by street art. The bike builds on the success achieved in 2019, especially on social media, by the Hypermotard 950 Concept presented at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
Wanting to transfer the same manufacturing quality of the concept bike from which it derives to the production motorcycle, it was necessary in the painting phases, to employ highly skilled labour, use very low thickness decals and adopt a particularly long and complex process. The result is comparable to that of an airbrushed bodywork.
Not only graphics, but also a standard equipment upgrade for this new version. The electronic package of the Hypermotard 950 RVE is enhanced by the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down EVO, which is added to the components already present in the standard version, namely Bosch Cornering ABS with Slide by Brake function (in setting 1), Ducati Traction Control Evo (DTC EVO) and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO.
The Hypermotard 950 is the fun-bike par excellence of the Ducati range and is designed to guarantee a high level of fun and control while riding. The aggressive design of the bike, inspired by the motard look, revolves around the twin exhausts under the seat and the smaller superstructures that leave the mechanical components visible, including the trellis rear frame that communicates lightness and essentiality. Ergonomics ensure the rider maximum responsiveness in all conditions. The seat is flat, particularly tapered to ensure wide movement and allows you to touch the ground with ease.
The Hypermotard 950 RVE is powered by the twin-cylinder 937 cc Testastretta 11° engine, which with its 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and 9.8 kgm of torque, of which over 80% is already available at 3,000 rpm, is the perfect engine to offer maximum fun both in sports riding on the track or on roads full of curves and in everyday riding on urban stretches.
At the top of the Hypermotard 950 range is the Hypermotard 950 SP with racing graphics and Öhlins suspension with increased travel, Marchesini forged rims and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down EVO.
The bike will be available in Ducati dealers starting from July.

The Hindu religion has a large number of deities, each having their own significance and various festivals are associated with these deities. Vasant Panchami, also known as Saraswati Puja, is a Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of wisdom, knowledge, arts and music. On this day, people worship Maa Saraswati and seek her blessings so that they can become wise and enlightened. According to the Hindu calendar, Saraswati Puja or Basant Panchami falls on Panchami tithi of the Purvahna kaala, the period between sunrise and midday. Sometimes, it can also come on the Chaturthi tithi, because of its calculation on the basis of Purvahna Kaala. Preferably, the rituals of Saraswati Puja should be performed while the Panchami Tithi is prevailing.
The festival of Vasant Panchami in 2017 falls on 1st February.
Since the festival of Vasant Panchami involves the worship of Goddess Saraswati, it is celebrated with great enthusiasm in schools and colleges across the country. Students seek the blessings of the goddess by performing ritualistic prayers on the morning of Vasant Panchami. Vidya Aarambham or Akshar Abhyasam is the ritual of the day. The ritual means that the young students are introduced to education on this auspicious day so that they become enlightened and have a bright future in the educational field. A special hymn called Saraswati Vandana or Sarawati Arti is recited to appease the Goddess of Knowledge and invoke her lasting blessings. It is believed that Vasant Panchami is a day suitable for beginning all good things, which is the reason why it is also known as Abujha day.

Many trainees like to cycle between the two methods in order to prevent the body from adapting (maintaining a progressive overload), possibly emphasizing whichever method more suits their goals; typically, a bodybuilder will aim at sarcoplasmic hypertrophy most of the time but may change to a myofibrillar hypertrophy kind of training temporarily in order to move past a plateau. However, no real evidence has been provided to show that trainees ever reach this plateau, and rather was more of a hype created from "muscular confusion".[clarification needed][citation needed]
Some bodybuilders use drugs such as anabolic steroids and precursor substances such as prohormones to increase muscle hypertrophy. Anabolic steroids cause hypertrophy of both types (I and II) of muscle fibers, likely caused by an increased synthesis of muscle proteins. They also provoke undesired side effects including hepatotoxicity, gynecomastia, acne, the early onset of male pattern baldness and a decline in the body's own testosterone production, which can cause testicular atrophy.[43][44][45] Other performance-enhancing substances used by competitive bodybuilders include human growth hormone (HGH), which can cause acromegaly.
Since the late 1970s, the federal Healthy People Initiative has been a visible component of the United States' approach to improving population health.[11][12] In each decade, a new version of Healthy People is issued,[13] featuring updated goals and identifying topic areas and quantifiable objectives for health improvement during the succeeding ten years, with assessment at that point of progress or lack thereof. Progress has been limited to many objectives, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of Healthy People in shaping outcomes in the context of a decentralized and uncoordinated US health system. Healthy People 2020 gives more prominence to health promotion and preventive approaches and adds a substantive focus on the importance of addressing social determinants of health. A new expanded digital interface facilitates use and dissemination rather than bulky printed books as produced in the past. The impact of these changes to Healthy People will be determined in the coming years.[14]
Health, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."[1][2] This definition has been subject to controversy, as it may have limited value for implementation.[3][4][5] Health may be defined as the ability to adapt and manage physical, mental and social challenges throughout life.[6]

Sandow organized the first bodybuilding contest on September 14, 1901, called the "Great Competition". It was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Judged by Sandow, Sir Charles Lawes, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the contest was a great success and many bodybuilding enthusiasts were turned away due to the overwhelming amount of audience members.[4] The trophy presented to the winner was a gold statue of Sandow sculpted by Frederick Pomeroy. The winner was William L. Murray of Nottingham. The silver Sandow trophy was presented to second-place winner D. Cooper. The bronze Sandow trophy — now the most famous of all — was presented to third-place winner A.C. Smythe. In 1950, this same bronze trophy was presented to Steve Reeves for winning the inaugural NABBA Mr. Universe contest. It would not resurface again until 1977 when the winner of the IFBB Mr. Olympia contest, Frank Zane, was presented with a replica of the bronze trophy. Since then, Mr. Olympia winners have been consistently awarded a replica of the bronze Sandow.

Lapinski cruises to pancake win
L&T photo/Earl WattELLY GRIMM • Leader & Times
A past winner took home her second title as Pancake Day Race champion Tuesday morning.
Maggie Lapinski, who won the race (her first time participating) in 2017, took home the Liberal title with a time of 62.98 seconds. Coming in second and third places were Maria Alba and Morgan Potts.
Lapinski's time was also good enough for the international title, besting Britain's Amy Butler who won Olney's leg of the race with a time of 70 seconds.
"It was really fun this year," Lapinski said after the race. "I took a break last year and decided to go out for it again this year. I was a little nervous but it was a lot of fun."
Lapinski, who led the entirety of the race, is a middle school cross country coach for USD 480 and said she was keeping in mind some of the things she tells her athletes.
"I don't know if I was the best example, but I was definitely making sure I kept up my form and doing everything I tell my students," Lapinski said with a laugh. "But sometimes that's easier said than done."
Lapinski added she was very pleased with her time for this year's race. She had won the 2017 race with a time of 61.06 seconds.
"It's a really weird distance, so I don't know exactly how to compare it to other races, but I do feel pretty happy with it," Lapinski said.
Pancake Day 2019 dawned sunny but cold, and did not seem to diminish the racers' spirits.
"It feels great right now," Lapinski said "It actually feels a lot better looking back on the race than thinking while running. It's always really fun but I also like winning, so it feels great winning for the second time."
Lapinski also talked about some differences between this year's win and her win back in 2017.
"It's definitely colder this year, the weather was a lot nicer in 2017, I remember I was wearing shorts then," Lapinski said with a chuckle. "This year was really fun and I could hear a lot of my athletes cheering for me on the sidelines, which was great. I had a lot of fun running this year with the rest of the ladies."
And even though this year's Pancake Day festivities just ended, Lapinski offered encouragement for women in Liberal to think about signing up for next year.
"It's always really fun, it's a great way to meet people," Lapinski said. "Both years I've done this I've met some great ladies and I've even run this with some of my friends, and that's great. I know some of the ladies are more competitive, like me, and some are more interested in having fun participating and keeping the tradition alive, and that's great too. If you have a chance, definitely go out and run it, so thank you to everyone who comes out and supports this every year."

Slot by: Red Tiger
Gonzo is back! And this time he is on a quest to find the lost city of Gold – Eldorado.
Gonzo's Quest Megaways – Slot Review
Gonzo's Quest Megaways, developed by Netent and Red Tiger, shows heavy inspiration from the slot classic Conquistador, which was highly popular when it came out in 2010. The setting of Gonzo's Quest Megaways, is centered around an Aztec/Mayan theme, with dense jungle, waterfalls, and ruins as the main features. The visual side is pure quality, and the animations stay true to the original Gonzo's Quest, which hardcore fans will appreciate. Audio wise, the jungle sounds, and different types of sound effects creates an authentic atmosphere.
The slot itself is a classic Megaways slot, licensed by BGT (Big Time Gaming), and consists of 6 reels that each show up to 7 symbols. Win ways goes from 64 and all the way up to a whopping 117.649. In order for the player to land a winning combo, they will need to land matching symbols across reels, beginning from reel 1. The stakes vary from 10 p/c and up to £/€4 per spin. The RTP is 96% straight, which is consistent with the average level of the industry. Max win potential is 21.000x the stake, but because the slot is medium to high in variance, the big wins do not come that often so the player should rely on the different features to hit a massive win.
The symbols of the game are pretty much the same, but they have undergone a makeover and look much nicer than in the original game. The low value symbols depict different types of animals such as snakes, birds, fish, and alligators. The high value symbols are the Aztec mask symbols, where the health symbols are the most valuable. The Wild of the game is the Question mark symbol.
Gonzo's Quest Megaways – Slot Features
As with most slots, Gonzo's Quest Megaways is packed with bonus features that can help the player achieve a massive win. Altogether, the slot has a total of 6 bonus features that will frequently appear in the base game.
Avalanches: the most common bonus feature to appear. Every time the player gets a winning combination, the symbols are removed and substituted with new ones. This makes it possible to experience multiple wins on a single spin, and since they continue to land as long as winning combinations is made, this can be a significant win in the end. The Avalanches is also connected to the Avalanche Multiplier that increases from x1, to x2, and x3, reaching its maximum at x 5. When a new spin is made, the multiplier resets to x1.
Earthquake feature: can appear at any given moment and will literally shake the game up, since it breaks down all low paying symbols and replaces them with high value symbols.
Unbreakable Wilds: the question mark symbol is the Wild of the game, now known as the Unbreakable Wild. Up to 2 can land on a single spin – 1 in the first 3 reels and 1 in the next 3 reels – and they won't crumble and disappear with a win, but stay in the reels, helping the player to make more winning combinations.Free Fall / Free Spins: if the player lands 3 or more of the scatter symbol (the golden coin) it will activate the Free Fall feature (this can also be activated by landing 2 scatter symbols + 1 Wild). Every symbol in this feature will award the player with 3 free spins, meaning 9 free spins total. This will also activate the Royal Wheel feature that allows the player to gamble with the free spins. You can lose them all or win up to 25 free spins.
Gonzo's Quest Megaways – Conclusion
The advantage of Gonzo's Quest Megaways, is that it is basically an improved remake of a very popular original, creating a lot of hype around it, which also means that it became an instant success. The gameplay is very smooth and intuitive, the animations and graphics are equally smooth, and there is plenty of action.
It can be very dangerous to try and alter and improve a successful game, because there is always that risk that the loyal fans would hate it. There is a fine line between success and failure when it comes to remakes or sequels, and it is very hard to please everyone. Netent and Red Tiger have indeed managed to maintain a good balance. They have kept all the things that made it a success in the first place, and only added a few things. No loyal fans of the slot can be mad about the makeover because they really nailed it and it has only made the game even better. All in all, Gonzo's Quest Megaways is an awesome online video slot that has stayed true to the original and at the same time took it to the next level.

What, exactly, is being taxed?
Income taxes are based on the amount of money you earn, or your income. Income includes the money you make at your job, interest you earn on things such as savings accounts and investments, money you earn from rental properties, money you win gambling and pretty much anything that adds to your financial worth over the course of the year.
The tax on this income is the percentage of your income the government takes. Depending on the state you live in, this income tax can be anywhere from nothing to almost 11 percent of your income. Add this to the up to 35 percent that the federal government can take, and that's a big chunk of your income that goes right to the government. But don't worry, that money is used for many things that benefit you. Plus, the U.S. income tax rates are about average compared to other countries. As a citizen of Denmark, for example, you could pay up to 59 percent of your income in taxes [source: Worldwide Tax]!
When calculating your taxes, you usually figure out how much money you owe to the federal government before you figure out your state taxes. That's because some of the calculations you do for your federal taxes are used to help calculate your state taxes.
The most important calculation is your adjusted gross income. This is the amount of your income that can be taxed after you have taken any deductions and exemptions that are applicable to you. Deductions reduce the amount of tax that you owe. There are all kinds of deductions out there, many of which the government uses to encourage spending in certain areas. For example, the government offers tax credits for going to college, donating to charity or buying your first home.
Most states base their taxes on the adjusted gross income you calculated for your federal taxes. They might modify the amount after that, but usually it's helpful to know your federal adjusted gross income before starting in on your state taxes.
Even though most states use your adjusted gross income as the basis for taxation, different states choose to tax that income differently. In the next section, we'll look at the two main types of income taxes and figure out which states use each type.

Q: Disposing watchers in a component which is kept alive I have components/pages of a certain type that are kept alive with <keep-alive>:
<keep-alive :include="['TheComponentName']">
  <component :is="pageComponentName" v-if="currentPage" :key="currentPage.componentKey" />
</keep-alive>

Works fine. Each of the pages contains sub components with watchers, e.g.
<keep-alive>
  <some-page key="theComponentKey">
    <some-component-with-watcher /> <---
  </some-page>
</keep-alive>

some-component-with-watcher:
export default defineComponent({
  setup () {
    watch(something, () => {
      doStuff()
    })
  }
})

When several pages are kept in memory / kept alive, the underlying component watchers are too. So when navigating to the next page, watchers from the previous page are still alive, for obvious reasons. How can I avoid this? Some ideas:

*

*Create the watcher in onActivated, store a reference to the unwatch handle, unwatch in onDeactivaed

*Dispose the page manually, can this be done?

*Use <keep-alive :max="2">. This didn't seem to have any effect.

What I'm after is persisting the page when a user is going from the kept alive page, to another page, then back to end up where they were, so they don't need to be kept alive forever.

Marijuana Business Cost of Goods Sold ("COGS") Overview
Many cannabis-related businesses would like to take deductions for the costs related to their business activities. However, the tax code, Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), has some very specific provisions regarding the businesses that are permitted to take cost of goods sold (COGS) deductions and which expenses may be included. COGS is at the core of all marijuana related businesses as its one of the key factors to reducing your taxable income.
Although figuring out which deductions are permitted can be tricky, it's in your best interest to claim all of the deductions that your business is allowed. COGS is a important deductions that marijuana-related businesses are allowed and can have a considerable effect on the effective tax rate for your business.
Consider the following examples:
Example 1. For a business with gross receipts totaling $776,772, a business with a high COGS could deduct $435,829, leaving a gross income of $340,953. Thanks to these allowed deductions, this business paid taxes on $340,953 instead of on $776,772. As a result, the business's effective tax rate was 44% of its final earnings.
Example 2. For a business with gross receipts totaling $776,772 and a low COGS with only $50,000 in COGS deductions, the gross income of the business was $726,772. Therefore, this business would pay taxes on $726,772. For this business, the effective tax rate was 94% of its final earnings.
Simply taking COGS deductions rendered a 50% difference in the effective tax rate of each of these two businesses! As a result, claiming deductions for COGS could mean substantial tax savings for your business.
Here is a quick guide to help you understand what COGS deductions are permitted for your cannabis-related business.
Cannabis-related Businesses and Claiming COGS
Although, cannabis-related businesses are currently illegal under federal law, every business in this industry is still obligated to pay federal income tax on its taxable income because IRC § 61(a) does not differentiate between income that has been earned from legal sources and income that has been earned from illegal sources.
In 1982, Congress enacted § 280E, which prohibits deductions and credits for businesses trafficking in controlled substances. However, in a later case, Californians Helping to Alleviate Medical Problems, Inc., v. Commissioner, 128 T.C. 173 (2007) ("CHAMP"), the government acknowledged that § 280E does not prohibit a taxpayer from claiming COGS. In other cases involving non-medical marijuana or other Schedule I controlled substances, the Tax Court recognized that § 280E does not disallow adjustments to gross receipts for COGS.
Chief Counsel Advice (CCA) 201504011
As a result of these rulings, the IRS determined that marijuana-related businesses could claim certain COGS deductions. On Jan. 23, 2015, the IRS Office of Chief Counsel issued Chief Counsel Advice (CCA) 201504011 to clarify that although deductions may not be claimed for trafficking marijuana, the CCA allows a cost-of-sales deduction for indirect production-related business expenses.
The memo concluded that although marijuana-related businesses are permitted to determine COGS, they must do so using the § 280E as it was enacted in 1982 and § 471, which makes the provision for the use of inventories to determine business income. When §280E was enacted in 1982, an 'inventoriable cost' referred to any costs that could be capitalized to inventories under §471.
Capitalization simply means delaying the recognition of an expense by treating the item as a fixed asset rather than recognizing the cost in the period that it was incurred. Capitalization is generally only used by companies that operate on the accrual basis of accounting.
In addition, the IRS concluded that these businesses are not permitted to calculate COGS using the more recent IRS regulations which can be found in § 263A, which permitted the inclusion of additional expenses, namely purchasing, handling and storage expenses, and service costs.
In order to claim any of the permitted deductions, the items must be "ordinary and necessary" within the meaning of § 162.
IRC § 162 is one of the most important sections in the tax code because it defines what a deduction is. The IRC requires six different elements to claim an item as a business expense in order to claim a deduction.
These elements are that the cost is:
1. Ordinary and necessary;
2. In carrying on;
3. A trade or business activity;
4. That it is an expense; and
5. That it was paid or incurred during the taxable year for which the return will be filed.
The IRS findings explain what a deduction is and which expenses could be considered as COGS. Finally, it should be noted that the IRS concluded that the IRS has broad authority to require the marijuana-related business to change its method of accounting and to challenge the deductions claimed.
What Expenses Can Be Considered as COGS?
The IRS has made specific provisions for marijuana resellers versus producers.
CCA 201504011 clarified that, for resellers, the costs that they incur that are otherwise nondeductible under § 280E may not be deducted as COGS. These costs that are non-deductible are those that are directly related to the trafficking of marijuana.
For resellers, this means that only the invoice price of purchased cannabis, less any trade or other discounts, as well as, the transportation and other costs necessary to gain possession of the inventory can be considered as COGS.
For cannabis-production businesses, there are significantly more opportunities to claim items as COGS. Production-related wages, rents, and repair can be considered as COGS upon the sale of the inventory for accrual-basis taxpayers and immediately for cash-basis taxpayers that are cannabis-production businesses. However, marketing and general business expenses remain nondeductible.
Indirect production costs that may be considered as COGS include:
● Repair expenses,
● Maintenance,
● Utilities,
● Rent,
● Indirect labor and production supervisory wages, including basic compensation, overtime pay, vacation and holiday pay, sick leave pay (other than payments pursuant to a wage continuation plan under section 105(d)), shift differential, payroll taxes and contributions to a supplemental unemployment benefit plan,
● Indirect materials and supplies,
● Tools and equipment not capitalized, and
● Costs of quality control and inspection,
only if these costs are incident to and necessary for the production of cannabis. If these expenses are not related to cannabis production then they are nondeductible.
The IRS has also permitted producers to claim some additional COGS deductions, as long as the company makes sure to produce financial statements that are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
These expenses include:
● Taxes deductible under § 164, other than state, local, and foreign income taxes;
● Depreciation and depletion;
● Deductible employee benefits, including pension and certain profit sharing contributions, workers' compensation expenses, stock bonus plans, premiums on life and health insurance, and miscellaneous employee benefits such as safety, medical treatment, cafeteria, recreational facilities, and membership dues;
● Costs pertaining to strikes, rework labor, scrap, and spoilage;
● Administrative expenses related to production;
● Officers' salaries related to production; and
● Insurance costs related to production.
While the provisions of the tax code do give some cannabis-related businesses the opportunity for some tax breaks, the IRS does not allow such businesses to take the same deductions as businesses in other industries. However, the repeal of § 280E of the IRC could make the burden lesser for cannabis-related businesses who have reported tax liabilities of up to 70% of their income.
In addition, these rules could change at any time. Until the law changes, it is important for all businesses in this industry to establish proper record keeping in order to meet IRS requirements. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Untermarchtal an der Donau ist eine Gemeinde im Alb-Donau-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg.

Geographie
Untermarchtal liegt auf einer Weißjuraplatte am Fuße der Schwäbischen Alb, zu beiden Seiten der Donau.

Nachbargemeinden
Die Gemeinde grenzt im Süden und Westen an Obermarchtal, im Nordwesten an Lauterach, im Norden an die Stadt Ehingen (Donau) und im Osten an die Stadt Munderkingen, zu deren Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Untermarchtal auch gehört.

Schutzgebiete

Obermarchtal hat Anteil am Naturschutzgebiet Flusslandschaft Donauwiesen zwischen Zwiefaltendorf und Munderkingen. Weitere Landschaftsteile auf der Gemarkung sind als Landschaftsschutzgebiet Untermarchtal ausgewiesen. Überdies hat die Gemeinde Anteil am FFH-Gebiets Donau zwischen Munderkingen und Riedlingen und am Vogelschutzgebiet Täler der Mittleren Flächenalb.

Geschichte

Herrschaft der Reichsritter
Im Hochmittelalter lag Untermarchtal im Herzogtum Schwaben. Die Herrschaft über den Ort übten im 13. und der ersten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts die Grafen von Berg und die Herren von Steußlingen aus. Die Hochgerichtsbarkeit lag seit dem 14. Jahrhundert in der Zuständigkeit Vorderösterreichs. 1365 lassen sich die Herren von Stein als Besitzer der Burg in Untermarchtal nachweisen. 1442 kauften die Speth von Ehestetten die Herrschaftsrechte. Die Burg wurde 1517 zerstört und an ihrer Stelle von 1573 bis 1576 durch Johann Ulrich Speth das Schloss erbaut. 1604 wurden die Speth mit dem Blutbann belehnt.

Geschichte seit dem 19. Jahrhundert
Im Zuge der Mediatisierung fiel Untermarchtal 1805 an das Kurfürstentum Württemberg, welches 1806 zum Königreich erhoben wurde. Württemberg ordnete Untermarchtal 1810 dem Oberamt Ehingen zu. 1870 erhielt Untermarchtal eine eigene Station an der Donaubahn, womit die Gemeinde ans Streckennetz der Württembergischen Staatseisenbahnen angeschlossen war. Seit 1886 entstand im Schloss das Kloster Untermarchtal. Während der NS-Zeit in Württemberg kam der Ort 1938 zum Landkreis Ehingen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg lag Untermarchtal in der Französischen Besatzungszone und kam somit zum Nachkriegsland Württemberg-Hohenzollern, welches 1952 im Bundesland Baden-Württemberg aufging. Seit der Kreisreform von 1973 ist Untermarchtal Teil des Alb-Donau-Kreises.

Religion
Untermarchtal ist überwiegend katholisch geprägt. Die katholische Pfarrkirche St. Andreas geht in ihrer heutigen Form auf das Jahr 1613 zurück, mit einer von 1880 bis 1888 erfolgten Restaurierung. Die Kirchengemeinde St. Andreas gehört zur Seelsorgeeinheit Marchtal im Dekanat Ehingen-Ulm, die der Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart unterstellt ist.

Einwohnerentwicklung
Es handelt sich um Einwohnerzahlen nach dem jeweiligen Gebietsstand. Die Zahlen sind Volkszählungsergebnisse (¹) oder amtliche Fortschreibungen des Statistischen Landesamtes Baden-Württemberg (nur Hauptwohnsitze).

Mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 50,7 Jahren war Untermarchtal Ende 2018 – bedingt durch das ortsansässige Kloster – die Gemeinde mit den im Schnitt zweitältesten Einwohnern in Baden-Württemberg.

Politik

Gemeinderat
Der achtköpfige Gemeinderat setzt sich ausschließlich aus Mitgliedern der "Freien Liste" zusammen. Er wurde bei der Gemeinderatswahl am 26. Mai 2019 in Mehrheitswahl für fünf Jahre gewählt. Dem Gremium gehören zwei Frauen an.

Bürgermeister
Bürgermeister Bernhard Ritzler wurde im Oktober 2016 mit 99 % der Stimmen im Amt bestätigt.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten

Museen
 Das Kalkofenmuseum zwischen Munderkingen und Obermarchtal: Hier wurde zwischen 1986 und 1990 durch den Schwäbischen Heimatbund ein kleines Kalkwerk originalgetreu restauriert und 1990 als technisches Museum eingerichtet. Die Anlage war ursprünglich von 1923 bis 1939 in Betrieb.

Bauwerke
 Das Kloster Untermarchtal ist das Mutterhaus der Barmherzigen Schwestern vom hl. Vinzenz von Paul in Untermarchtal. Die Mutterhauskirche St. Vinzenz, eine von Architekt Hermann Baur erbaute moderne Rundbaukirche, wurde 1972 von Bischof Leiprecht eingeweiht und besitzt ein Geläute (b°-des'-es'-ges'-as'-b') der Glockengießerei Bachert.
 Das Schloss (ebenfalls Teil des Mutterhauskomplexes) stammt aus dem Jahr 1576. Johann Ulrich Speth von Zwiefalten erbaute das Schloss 1573 bis 1576. 1853 verkaufte Reichsfreiherrin von Speth, geborene Prinzessin von Oettingen Wallerstein, das Gut an den protestantischen Pfarrer Schuster von Rottenacker. Kaufmann Franz Joseph Linder erwarb 1886 dann das einstige Schloss und schenkte es der Kongregation der Barmherzigen Schwestern, deren Generaloberin damals seine Tochter war. Das einstige Schloss der Freiherren von Speth beherbergt also seit 1887 das Mutterhaus der Barmherzigen Schwestern. In all den Jahren wurden verschiedene Erweiterungsbauten erstellt.
 Die katholische Pfarrkirche St. Andreas wurde 1465 von Dietrich von Speth aus Ehestetten als "Kapelle auf dem Berg" errichtet; damals handelte es sich noch nicht um eine selbständige Pfarrei; Untermarchtal gehörte zum Pfarrsprengel St. Michael in Neuburg. Seit 1481 gab es eine eigene Schlosskaplanei mit Kaplan. Als 1517 wegen der Parteinahme des Dietrich Speth für Sabina, die Ehefrau von Herzog Ulrich von Württemberg, des letzteren Zorn über ersteren hereinbrach, wurden seine Schlösser angegriffen und zerstört, und auch in Untermarchtal wurde das ganze Dorf mit Kirche und Schloss gebrandschatzt und eingeäschert. Erst längere Zeit nach der Rückkehr der Speth und der Rückgabe der eingezogenen Besitzungen nach dem Tod von Herzog Ulrich wurde die Kirche 1613 in vergrößerter Form in frühbarockem Stil von Johann Ulrich Speth von Zwiefalten zu Untermarchtal (1535–1627) und seiner Frau, Ursula Schad von Mittelbiberach (–1630), Tochter von Johann Philipp Schad von Mittelbiberach (ca. 1505–1571) und Euphrosine von Rechberg (1517–1571), wiederaufgebaut, und eine zweite Kaplanei wurde gestiftet. Die neue Kirche war 21 m lang, 8 m breit und ebenso hoch. Der viereckige Turm mit achteckigem Aufsatz misst 20 m in der Höhe. Die Freiherren von Speth, die früher über der Sakristei ein eigenes Oratorium besaßen, hatten das Patronatsrecht zur Kapelle und späteren Kirche St. Andreas bis zu ihrem Aussterben inne. Erst 1830 wurde St. Andreas zu einer eigenständigen Pfarrei erhoben. Der Kirchenpatron ist als Statue am Chorbogen zu sehen. Heute gehört Untermarchtal zur Seelsorgeeinheit Marchtal und wird von Obermarchtal aus betreut. In der Kirche befindet sich ein sehenswertes spätbarockes Epitaph mit Banddekoration. Es ist für Adam Bernhard Speth von Zwiefalten (9. Oktober 1662–4. August 1691), Kämmerer des Kurfürsten von der Pfalz, und seine Frau, Barbara Theresia Schad von Mittelbiberach (ca. 1661–22. Juli 1722).

Verkehr

Die Gemeinde hatte einen Haltepunkt an der Bahnstrecke Ulm–Sigmaringen, jedoch ist der Bahnhof heute inaktiv und dient als Infozentrum. Die Bundesstraße 311 führt auf einer Ortsumgehung und dem Donauviadukt Untermarchtal am Ort vorbei.

This year we've continued to bring our social audience even closer to the show by having some of our most socially-savy guests takeover our Snapchat and Instagram accounts. Guests like Hugh Jackman, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, Joseph-Gordon Levitt, and Meghan Trainor have participated, giving fans backstage access and showing what its like to be on the show in real time.
This year, with the rise of Meerkat, Periscope and Facebook Live, we have also evolved our strategy to include regular mobile live-streaming. Both Jimmy and the show were early adopters and have quickly become leaders on each of these platforms. Take Seth Rogen, for example. When Seth stopped by the show, we played a fan-driven game of "Would You Rather" in his dressing room using questions submitted during our live-stream. Jimmy has also opened up his office on multiple occasions for live Q&As!
YOUTUBE AS A SOCIAL PLATFORM
We also pride ourselves in recognizing YouTube as a social network, not just a distribution platform. This year we've worked to continue to set the bar in engaging directly with both creators and fans in the YouTube community. On our channel we actively engage with fans in the comments, create custom video end cards with Jimmy, and use fan response to help drive the production of additional web exclusive backstage content, like the "Backstage Acoustic" music series or our interactive series like "Unqualified Advice."
One of the coolest things to happen on the show this year actually started on YouTube, the #AndrewShadowJimmy campaign. A teen named Andrew Kochamba, produced a great YouTube video asking to shadow Jimmy as part of his senior year "Shadow" day. Jimmy saw the video, loved it, and decided to make the campaign a reality. We put our own video of calling on YouTube, then flew him to NYC to shadow Jimmy for the day. Because of his video, Andrew got come to the show, interview Jimmy live on Meerkat and even joined that night's guests on the couch at the end of the show.
Many of our show segments involve fan-submitted web content on a weekly basis. Through our social channels and app, fans are able to contribute content that makes it to air. Examples include our weekly Tonight Show Hashtags segment that invites fans to share stories related to a given topic, with Jimmy reading her favorites on-air, as well as the the "Screengrabs" segment, which brings "Headlines" into the digital age, and our recurring "Kid Theater" segment, which has had major celebrities including Channing Tatum, Tom Hanks and Michael Keaton act out short scripts submitted by children.
In 2015, The Tonight Show was:
The "Top TV show on Social Media" and the "Most Talked About TV Show on Facebook", according to MPVindex
Most subscribed Late Night TV show on YouTube
Most liked Late Night TV show on Facebook
Also in 2015:

Modern Manners for Moms & Dads: Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations (for Kids 0-5) (Parenting Etiquette, Good Manners, & Child
Evie Granville (Author) Sarah Davis Davis (Author)
\Be a Confident Parent from Day One
"Evie and Sarah artfully marry expert etiquette and parenting advice in a fun, modern, and valuable way." ―Heidi Dulebohn, international cultural consultant and etiquette expert
#1 New Release in Children's Studies Social Science
Parenting doesn't happen in a bubble, but you wouldn't know that from other parenting books. Own this humorous, often irreverent take on what parenting in public is really like.
Real-world advice on embarrassing moments parents with young kids face every day. When you're raising kids, you're thrown into dilemmas you could never have dreamed up. A diaper disaster in the middle seat during take-off. Naked baby bath photos your mother-in-law posts online without permission. An unexpected gift that leads to a tantrum in front of the gift-giver. How can you turn these into opportunities to be an A+ parent and friend, role model, and member of your community?
They've done the research so you don't have to. Authors Sarah Davis, Ed.D., and Evie Granville, M.Ed., are educators, manners mavens, and creators of a blog and podcast dedicated to parenting etiquette. Their two families total six young kids. Modern Manners for Moms & Dads unpacks the complicated social code for parents of kids ages 0 to 5. Sarah and Evie help you discover a public parenting style within a unique framework, analyze your gut reactions to sticky situations, and choose a course of action that balances the needs of parent, child and others.
Written by and for busy parents, this guide includes parenting tips, lists, charts, pop quizzes, personal anecdotes, and practical advice. Also offered is child rearing guidance from real experts on:
Leading your family with kindness and awareness
Setting a good example (and realistic expectations) for little ones
Maintaining friendships and good communication
If you are a fan of etiquette books like A Kid's Guide to Manners, Dude That's Rude, or 365 Manners Kids Should Know, you're going to love Modern Manners for Moms & Dads (Kids 0-5).
The publisher issues a notice regarding an error occurring in the chart "Is Your Kid Too Sick to Leave the House?" on page 66 of the print book (chapter 2 in the eBook). Please disregard the advice regarding the acceptability of leaving your house with a child with a temperature over 100.4. This was an error. This book is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of physicians. The reader should regularly consult a physician in matters relating to their health (and their children's) and particularly with respect to any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety.
Parenting - Motherhood
Sarah Davis, Ed.D., and Evie Granville, M.Ed., are etiquette experts whose advice reaches nearly 600,000 parents and caregivers each month and has been featured by Parents, MSN, The Washington Post, the Associated Press, Reader's Digest, and other major media outlets. They are the hosts of a five star-rated podcast, speakers, parenting coaches, and moms to six young kids between them. Their mission is to acknowledge all the external factors that affect our parenting and provide the knowledge and skills to navigate them with confidence, clarity, and character.
With their combined expertise in early child development, education, communication, and etiquette, Evie and Sarah teach research-based strategies that give parents and children a powerful social advantage linked to relationship-building, academic success, and resiliency. Their advice stems from their professional experience in the classroom, their research, as well as their "hands-on training" as mothers.

Tinian Blow Hole (at night), Tinian. This picture was a long exposure as you can tell by the movement of the clouds and the stars in the horizon. You can see the island of Saipan in the distance, with all the lights and what not taking view. Ancient coral outcrop line the edge of Tinian bordering the dynamic yet majestic ocean to create a contrast of textures.
Suicide Cliff, Tinian. When the Americans were on the verge of winning the Battle of Saipan, or the Battle of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Japanese forces chose to take their lives instead of surrender to the Americans. This specific cliff was where the Japanese would jump into the big blue ocean in the attempt to take their lives. This photo was taken at night, as you can see the stars in the horizon.

Shell is buying EV charging company Volta for $169 million
The oil giant previously acquired a charging network in the UK.
Kris Holt

January 18, 2023, 10:42 a.m. ·2 min read

Oil and gas company Shell is buying electric vehicle charging operator Volta for $169 million through a subsidiary. The deal, which the companies expect to close in the first half of this year, amounts to 86 cents per share, around 18 percent more than Volta's closing price on Tuesday.
Volta's board of directors approved the deal unanimously, though it still requires the green light from shareholders. It's subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions too. Shell will provide loans to Volta to give it a hand through the closing of the transaction. On September 30th, Volta had $15.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $262.2 million at the end of 2021.
"While the EV infrastructure market opportunity is potentially enormous, Volta's ability to capture it independently, in challenging market conditions and with ongoing capital constraints, was limited," Volta interim CEO Vince Cubbage said in a statement. "Both Volta and Shell have a demonstrated ability to meet the changing needs of customers, and this acquisition will bring that experience together to provide the options that are needed as more drivers choose electric."
The company has more than 3,000 charging stations across the US and a handful in Europe, typically at grocery stores and malls. For a few years, its DC fast charging stations were free to use for up to 30 minutes, with advertising and sponsorships helping to cover the costs. However, it shifted its DC fast chargers to a paid model last year. Volta's more than 2,000 L2 chargers are still free to use. After the deal closes, "there will be no immediate change in driver experience," the companies said.
Odd as it may seem that an oil company is buying an EV charging network, it isn't the first time Shell has done so. It snapped up UK network Ubitricity in 2021 for an undisclosed sum. Last year, Hertz and BP announced plans to set up a charging network in the US.

The Canadian dollar was little changed against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday, with the currency holding near its strongest level in 2-1/2 months as U.S. bond yields eased ahead of a Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The Canadian dollar was trading nearly unchanged at 1.3304 to the greenback, or 75.17 U.S. cents, after touching its strongest since Nov. 16 at 1.3290. "A further moderation in U.S. yields and a continuation in the global equity rally in European cash markets has seen the loonie consolidate near a two-month high ahead of this afternoon's Fed decision," said Simon Harvey, head of FX analysis for Monex Europe and Monex Canada.

While Asia may be synonymous with tropical beaches and colorful coral reefs, there is so much more to the continent than this. From soaring mountains to bamboo forests, here are some of the top natural wonders that Asia has to offer.
The Son Doong Cave in Vietnam was only discovered in 1991. Considering that this is the largest cave in the world, this is quite surprising, but, nevertheless, it has recently opened up to the public, meaning that you can now visit this natural wonder that was hidden for so long.
The cave's name means Mountain River Cave, due to its proximity to a river, and the fact that the cave itself was created by water eroding through the limestone, creating a large tunnel.
This tunnel continued to expand over the years, resulting in caverns that are now large enough to fit an entire city street in.
Being over 150 meters in height, and 200 meters in width, the cave was believed to have been created up to five million years ago, and even has its own river, as well as a forest that grows within the middle chamber.
Located in East Java, the Ijen Volcano Complex consists of a collection of stratovolcanoes, which are all located inside a large volcano crater, referred to as a caldera.
So what makes this complex so special?
The first is the Ijen Volcano itself, which boasts the largest acidic crater lake in the world. Due to this high level of acidity, the water within the lake is a surreal milky blue, and while you may want to stand around admiring it for a while, the strong smell of sulphur will likely chase you away quite quickly.
Another unique feature of this complex can be found in the Ijen crater. Due to the continuous combustion of sulphuric gases, the crater itself grows an eerie shade of blue.
When gasses emerge from the volcano, they do so at an extremely high temperature and pressure. This means that when they come into contact with the air, they ignite, sending burning blue flames five feet into the air.
As the flames continue to burn, the gasses condense into liquid sulphur, and begin to flow down the slopes of the volcano, giving off the illusion of blue lava.
With over 130 million years of history behind it, Taman Negara is the oldest tropical rainforest in the world.
Covering an area of around 4343 square meters, this national park is one of the country's biggest attractions, and for good reason too.
There are many ways in which you can explore the rainforest, as well as numerous routes that you can take, but the most famous canopy walkway, which also happens to be the longest of its kind in the world, is located 45 meters up in the canopy, and will provide you with views that you will never forget.
Of course, being one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country, Taman Negara can get quite crowded, even with its large size.
That being said, heading to the park early will enable you to avoid most of the crowds, especially if you are heading to Lubok Simpon, which is the local wild swimming spot.
Japan is famous for its thermal hot springs, also known as onsens, and while these can be found all over the country, one must-see area is the Jigoku Valley.
Because this region has really embraced all of the hot springs that can be found around it, setting up boardwalks that allow people to leisurely meander through the many geysers and steam caves.
There is so much to see, with each onsen having its properties when it comes to healing. While it is worth taking a dip in all of them, make sure that you do not miss out on the Oyunuma Brook, which is a natural foot bath that you will find in the area.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, the Huanglong National Scenic and Historic Interest Area can be found in the Sichuan region of China.
The landscape here is quite a unique one, with one of the highlights being the colorful calcite terraced pools found all around.
The area also boasts a diverse forest ecosystem, with a number of different habitats that provide homes for endangered animals, as well as plants. One example of this is the giant panda, which calls this region its home. These forest ecosystems are relatively undisturbed, giving you the perfect opportunity to really soak up some nature.
In addition to the terraced pools and the forests, you will also find snow-capped mountains, hot springs and waterfalls, as well as various temples and statues scattered around the area.
Located in the Indian Ocean, just south west of India and Sri Lanka, the Maldives consists of over 1000 islands, as well as 26 atolls, and is famous for being one of the top vacation destinations in the world.
The Natural Forest Park of Zhangjiaje, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in China is one that you will have likely already seen photos of. If you have not, then you will probably recognize it from the movie Avatar.
Because these surreal rock formations are what provided the inspiration for the one-of-a-kind landscapes of Pandora.
In fact, in honor of the movie, one of the rock formations has even been renamed as Avatar Hallelujah Mountain.
So, enough about the movie, what exactly are these rock formations?
They are basically quartzite sandstone columns, with many of them being over 200 meters in height. There are thousands of these columns, 3544 to be precise, as well as a number of caves that are filled with stalactites and stalagmites.
The pillars themselves formed over thousands of years, due to erosion and water that expanded and contracted in the crevices of the rocks.
Each night, the sky lights up with thousands of fireflies, who gather in the mangrove trees to feed and attract a mate.
The best way to really experience this natural wonder is to take a boat ride, which can be chartered at the town's jetty. Each boat holds four passengers, meaning that you can tailor the ride to be as long as you want.
However, keep in mind that photographing the fireflies with a flash camera is prohibited, n order to protect them.
The Gobi Desert stretches across most of the south of Mongolia, as well as its border with China, and is definitely a destination for your bucket list.
This is the largest desert in Asia, covering an arc-shaped area of land that measures around 1.3 million square kilometers.
There are a number of different ecosystems within the dessert, from grasslands to mountains, and, because it sits at quite a high altitude, is actually quite a cold desert, with snow falling on the sand dunes in the winter.
While you may think that the entire desert is filled with sand, only 5% of the Gobi desert contains sand dunes. The rest consists of rock or dry grasslands.
Just like Mount Everest, K2, which is also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, is also located in the Himalayas, but this time on Pakistan's side of the border.
Standing at 28,251 feet above sea level, K2 is the second highest mountain in the world, and is actually considered to be far more dangerous than Everest. With a number of different climbers having fallen to their deaths here, K2 has earned itself the nickname of Savage Mountain.
So, why exactly would you want to give this mountain a climb?
Well, to begin with, it is known for having some of the most incredible views in the world.
It has also only been scaled just over 850 times, compared to Everest, which has been climbed over twice that amount. If you want to take on one of the toughest mountains in the world, but prefer to take a path less travelled, then K2 is the one for you.
Of course, if K2 gets a mention, then Mount Everest should as well.
While there may be no denying that Everest is the highest mountain in the world, many people have argued for decades over its actual height, although it is believed to be around 29,028 feet tall.
Everest is actually located on the border of Nepal, China and Tibet, and is a mountain that is over 60 million years old. It is also contained within the Sagarmatha National Park, which is home to three of the seven highest mountains in the world, as well as many other prominent peaks that exceed 6000 meters in height.
Tempted to give Everest a climb?
There are 18 different climbing routes to choose from, with the journey taking about 40 days in total. But, as you can imagine, there is so much training that needs to go into this expedition beforehand. This usually takes at least a year, so long as you have a solid fitness level to build up from. Nevertheless, even if you only pay a visit to base camp, this will still be one of the most rewarding destinations you will ever visit.
Chances are that you have already seen numerous photographs of Kyoto's Bamboo Forest, as many would agree that this is one of the most beautiful forests in the world.
Located just thirty minutes outside of the heart of the city, the forest provides a shocking contrast to the urban environment all around it.
Tall bamboo stalks soaring dozens of feet into the sky, packed together incredibly densely. There are wooden paths that twist their way through these groves, so you can explore the forest comfortably at your own pace.
When the wind passes through the tightly packed trunks, making the wood creak and the leaves rustle, the sound that is created is so incredibly peaceful.
Even Japan's Ministry of the Environment would agree with this, including the forest in the list of 100 Soundscapes of Japan, acknowledging the meditative effect that this sound can have.
