The line rendering itself is fine and self-explanatory, though I would prefer not to add plenty new colours to the main map.
I think a longer term goal (no pun intended) is for the osm fr style.
Icons might be nice but most of the well known ones will be copyrighted/trademarked.
Oh meant to say the line style is for v3.x as it will require adding new stuff to the database.
How about adding icons for the most used sports to begin with? Soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball, all have good icons that can be used from iD editor's icon set. Just like iD the icon can be put in the middle of the pitch.
Unfortunately they all are 24px, while we use just 14px - this is huge difference. If you want to see how they would look in this style, try to rescale them and save as PNG.
There's also https://github.com/mapbox/maki/tree/master/icons with more stick figures instead of the bat/ball icons.
Still we need to decide if we want to use icons or field markings.
I'm very strongly for icons. Field markings are poorly recognizable and potentionally ambigious. Also, the field markings are not actually based on OSM data so they are basically lies, stricly spoken. The real field markings might either not exist at all or they are just wrong.
For example, not all soccer fields actually have field markings, especially small ones. Also, the field markings will be hard to be understood for people not knowing a particular sport very well.
Also, field markings do not fit into the "tradition" of the default OSM style of only showing what's actually there in the data, rather than "interpreting" stuff into the data which simply isn't there.
For example, not all soccer fields actually have field markings, especially small ones.
Maps are no rendered satellite images.
Also, the field markings will be hard to be understood for people not knowing a particular sport very well.
On the other hand, icons are WAY more recognizable, even by people not knowing awfully much about the sport.
As an counter example there are many racket sports. I am not sure which is meant by the tennis icon from boothym. But the line marking is pretty unique.
Exactly. And I think field markings try way too hard to look "authentic". Under the same logic, OSM could attempt to draw road markings on roads. I know, I know, field markings look cool, but they are not exactly useful for a map when you actually want to read information from it.
Icons are more abstract, therefore a more logical choice for a map.
I guess the tennis icon stands for "tennis". ;-) You already said "tennis" by yourselves! xD Also because this is probably the most well-known one.
Yes, it's probably hard to draw an icon for every sport in existance but OSM could just start with the most common ones while adding icons later. Sports without an icon could maybe get a generic icon or no icon.
The homepage really should improve its map key because the default style has so many different icons, but almost no icon is actually explained. :-( In fact, the map key is very, VERY incomplete (sadly).
Creating a key for the icons would (hopefully) not be too hard (it just needs to be done).
But creating a key for the markings or all sport pitches would be overkill and therefore it would be pretty unlikely to happen. I fear that Average Joe will fail to recognize the lion's share of possible sport pitches.
Pfff, this is weak. The markings are nothing like icons. Icons are not rotated and have a fixed size and are always put on a point. Markings can be rotated, are made of lines and differ in size and take an area.
Other racket sports have slightly different rackets (e.g. longer handle in badminton) and most of them are played indoors. If you see a pitch in OSM with a racket and ball, and it's not inside a building it's highly likely to be tennis (given 230,000 courts have been mapped!).
Anyway, the main thing is that I think icons should be added as soon as possible for the most important sports in OSM. They presumably are easier to add than markings and would definitely improve the map styling.
Is someone able to render these so we can see what they look like? @kocio-pl ?
What should the colors be (re)used then?
I hope pitch color will be made less dominant soon, but green symbols with green label could be hardly readable.
I was thinking basically how they are just now - dark gray/black (with transparency)?
Can you please also add an icon for riding arenas (tagged leisure=pitch + sport=equestrian 🐴) ?
Also please take into account that pitches can be indoors (in a hall or under a roof), in these cases markings can not be used, but icons probably can.
We would need to be careful here because it might not be clear what feature the icon applies to, i.e. the pitch itself or the facility the pitch is part of.
Also note the horse as a symbol - no matter if with a rider or not - can mean a lot of different things and does not necessarily imply something sport related.
Not every riding arena (equestrian pitch) is part of a riding facility or anything similar, like also not every other kind of pitch is part of a sports centre, leisure park or so. Especially in these cases it would be helpful if the map would show what kind of pitch it is.
I agree that it would be good if the icon would look related to equestrian sports, perhaps a jumping horse, but I don't know if that can be done in a 14px icon.
@kocio-pl I know I've asked before but any chance the icons I posted could be rendered?
I noticed there is a 0.3 opacity white outline to the black icon in the svg which I had to remove first.
Sorry, I'm currently busy with many other problems, which I think are more important.
It's not clear what people would decide, but the best chances would be to create 14 px versions of icons (leisure green is probably better than black - and we already have golf icon), create the code, test them and make a PR with renderings. Could you try to do it?
I was looking at Taginfo sport=* key list to choose which tags can have an special icon in combination with leisure=sport_centre / leisure=pitch . It's very interesting, beacuse there are some sports which I even didn't hear about earlier (eg. netball or gaelic games), more popular than eg. boxing or car racing. I think we should prepare a list of sport=* tags which we want special icon for, and for the rest use just generic leisure-green dot for leisure=sports_centre (see: #2930) and current "blank" leisure=pitch rendering.
Which sport centres and pitches you would like to see with a special icon?
the small icons are from iD, the bigger ones (less) from carto).
I wonder why this kind of solution wasn't/isn't applicable for swimming_pool's (#2870).
What about sport=horse_racing on leisure=track?
sport=horse_racing has > 2k uses just on tracks which is more than scuba_diving, canoe / rowing and billiards.each have in total and these tracks for horse_racing are quite large objects.
No, this is the horse racing icon of your browser/ operating system (list).
@Hufkratzer, I think we could render a horse racing icon sports centers that have the sport=horse_racing tag. I don't don't recommend it on on tracks though due to the current issues we have with icons positions not rendering well if the area is round etc. Otherwise, it will render it will render in the middle or some other weird spot. If I remember correctly it was an issue on the Maptnik side that was supposedly fixed, but I've still been seeing it around sometimes. Its been a while though.
If you render icons for leisure=sports_centre instead of leisure=track you will somehow force mappers to map sports_centre's where no sports_centre's are (or to nest sports_centre's) if they want the sport specific icons on the map. Is that desirable?
If I remember correctly it was an issue on the Mapnik side that was supposedly fixed, but I've still been seeing it around sometimes. Its been a while though.
Woho, I finally got the code for sports icons working. So expect some test renderings any day now. This ones been on the top of my list for a while now.
Maki versus Tomasz-W icons. If people don't mind I think I'll do a PR for the main sports just to get to it implement and do the rest later. Since there's like 16 of them and it will take a lot more time otherwise.
Personally, I'm leaning more toward Tomasz-W's icons because they aren't mostly solid black. So they don't stand out as much.
@Tomasz-W How come you think they should be man-made-grey for pitches? Last time I checked names on pitches are currently rendered in green. Plus its a leisure tag. Eveeything else leisure is green. Also, I'm not dealing with sports centers at this point. I want to figure out the icons were using and get pitches implimented first.
@Adamant36 Imagine a big soccer training centre - if we would render both pitches and sports centres icons in leisure green, there will be just a chaotic bunch of green balls around, in my vision there would be man-made-grey pitches and green ball icon in sports centre middle. It was actually proposed initially: #844 (comment), so it's nothing new. Another thing is that for single objects we should use man-made-gray and for more complicated ones leisure-green. I know this ticket is about piches but we have to think long-term.
I think #844 (comment) was just a lazy photoshop example, not a request to use black icons. I find grey icons quite odd as I can't see how something like "baseball" would be categorized as "generic" and not "leisure".
Could you explain your vision a little better? Perhaps a mockup?
Because this way we would keep the color for pitches while at the same time indicating that they are special (bigger).
@Adamant36 agreed, though my only concern with the Tomasz-W icons is the basketball being too similar to the soccer ball?
Do you mind rendering a pitch which has a name as well as a sport?
@Tomasz-W my image further up the thread was just a quick photoshop to try and get some progress on this issue (first comment in 9 months!) 😉 I'd go for green now that I've seen it rendered.
So, green for the icons it is then.........Any feedback besides @boothym's on which set of icons are better?
@boothym, they do kind of look similar. I'm willing to go with Maki's soccer ball, if there is wider agreement.
Also, as I said above, I'm not doing sports centers until pitches get done and rendered. Its a lot less complicated that way and it has a better chance of not getting derailed before it gets merged.
Plus, we haven't even figured out the icons we are going with yet anyway. So, its kind of putting the cart before the horse.
If there's a problem with that, someone else is free to work on the issue.
I will eventually after pitches get done. Rendering on sports centers doesn't really affect how or what's rendered on pitches at this point though. Plus, The green dot-rendering is a different issue. It will get done at some point in its own PR.
@Tomasz-W, btw, do you know of any sports centers tagged as one sport that contains pitches from another sport? Also, it seems like it would be a little redundant to have an icon for a sports center along with all the pitches there. It should be clear from the pitches what kind of sports center it is. Plus, they might block each other out.
P.S. Can you make icons for roller skating and ice skating? They both have numbers around 1000 each, but I feel like they could be added anyway. Since there probably aren't many places for them in the world anyway.
my only concern with the Tomasz-W icons is the basketball being too similar to the soccer ball?
The maki basketball icon is hard to recongnize, therefore I would prefer the ball icon for basketball.
not free, would have to be redrawn.
@Adamant36 I was actually thinking the other way around - use Maki's basketball with the backboard, and Tomasz-W's soccer ball.
If having so many icons is an issue (#3651) or having field marking is too much (#1126), why don't you people reuse the leisure=fitness_station icon to represent all ground sports since most of them involve running or at least moving on a field?
I think having to distinguish a sport field from the rest of the map is more of an issue than distinguishing the fields from each other.
It would at least reduce the need of using generic names like "Soccer field" to identify a green rectangle in the middle of nowhere, like this https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-23.42452/-47.58841.

"How the CO2 shortage is impacting the food and drink sector" - Specialty Food Magazine
Tom Nolan November 9, 2021 in Nat Gas / LNG
How the CO2 shortage is impacting the food and drink sector
The shortfall of carbon dioxide is the latest in a string of crises the food and drink supply chain has faced in recent months
https://www.specialityfoodmagazine.com/news/co2-shortage-food-and-drink-sector
The latest blow to the food and drink supply chain has come in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) shortages. Spiking gas prices has led to shortfalls of the product, which is used in carbonated drinks and across the frozen food supply chain and the meat industries.
For businesses across retail, farming, hospitality and manufacturing, which are already experiencing shortages of workers and supplies due to Covid-19 and Brexit, it's yet another challenge to tackle.
While the government has secured a temporary agreement to restart CO2 production and ensure supplies, prices are set to soar, rising from £200 per tonne to £1,000 per tonne.
"This agreement will ensure the many critical industries that rely on a stable supply of CO2 have the resources they require to avoid disruption," said business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng. However, environment secretary George Eustice added, "This is a short-term intervention to provide the space and time for market adjustment."
Keith McAvoy, CEO of SEVEN BRO7HERS Brewing Co in Salford said that the CO2 deal "couldn't have come any sooner" for his business.
However, he added, "It is likely our CO2 costs will increase because of the government investment, which will have direct impact on our margin. The decision has accelerated our plans to carbon capture our own CO2 to make ourselves more independent and self-reliant in times like this," he explained. "In the brewing process one of the biproducts of the fermenting is the release of CO2. We are exploring different ways to capture this and add it to our reserve. Our goal is to become a carbon negative business."
The British Meat Processors Association said the deal was a "huge relief" but "complex discussion" was still needed over how to renegotiate and restructure CO2 supplies in the UK – and the wider food and drink supply chain.
"Once this immediate crisis is averted, we will be suggesting that Government, with the help of ours and other sectors, does a comprehensive review of how our modern supply chains have evolved and where vulnerabilities have crept in. This will form the basis of future solutions so we can avoid this situation in the future," the group said.
Retailers continue to face shortages
While it appears the worst of the CO2 crisis has been averted for the short term, many food retailers are still facing shortages of supplies. In response to the latest data, delivery firm ParcelHero's head of consumer research, David Jinks, said the situation was "extremely concerning".
Data from the Office for National Statistics revealed that for the two weeks ending 5th September, 23% of retailers and wholesalers reported lower stock levels than expected, and more than 10% were unable to get some key goods entirely. Transport and storage companies said 20% of businesses either closed entirely or paused trading.
"These ONS figures are bad news for shoppers needing staple goods. Many retailers should now be in their Christmas build-up period, instead of which they are struggling to meet today's demands for basic items," David said. "While some goods will be completely out of stock, shoppers may have to switch brands to get other items. 12.5% of shops and wholesalers say they have had to ditch their normal suppliers of some products and find alternative sources because they can't get deliveries. This will have an impact on prices and the choice of products available in store."
Tesco has voiced concern about the industry's challenges in the run-up to Christmas, saying that panic buying could occur again if the crisis is not addressed. "Our concern is that the pictures of empty shelves will get ten times worse by Christmas, and then we'll get panic buying," Tesco's UK distribution and fulfilment director, Andrew Woolfenden, said during a Cabinet Office meeting.
Tesco said recruiting drivers remains a challenge, and the retailer has joined calls from across the food industry to make it easier to recruit staff from abroad. The food and drink sector recently came together with a cross-industry report that revealed workforce vacancies are at an average rate of 13% for businesses, with more than 500,000 total vacancies, due to the impact of the pandemic and the UK's post-Brexit immigration policy. Groups including the NFU and the FDF have called for a Covid Recovery Visa to fill the gap in the short term.
Independent brands are also feeling the bite of shortages. SEVEN BRO7HERS' Keith said, "Currently every part of the production and supply chain process is being squeezed. We have been impacted by lack of carboard supplies and the access to raw ingredient to make the beer. We have faced challenges meeting deadlines with customers, due to the shortage of HGV drivers effecting our suppliers. Challenges we don't need coming out of Covid-19."
However, for the most part, larger retailers with more complex supply chains have been much more badly hit than smaller independent retailers. In the weeks and months to come, if fine food retailers can continue providing fully stocked shelves, they could see a bumper Christmas period.

This has to be the strangest result of the green obsessions with CO2 and the resulting energy crisis.. until this happened, however, I had no idea how widespread the use of CO2 is in the food industry - for those interested, packaged meals/food is sealed up with CO2 instead of O2 to discourage bacteria,. and frozen CO2 or dry ice is used in transporting frozen food.. it has certain properties that make it better than water ice..

A large percentage of beverage CO2 comes from fertilizer production. Because of gas prices being this high, many plant closures have caused the shortage. This HAS happened before in the UK. Pretty weird.
Opex per ton of ammonia on a gas only basis should be around $200 per ton right now. That's as high as electrolytic hydrogen (which is exactly why they don't use electrolytic hydrogen, nsdp).

This is really a problem. Its very important to manage CO2 for the betterment of the food. By the way I love eating thai food and When I went to thailand I took a full enjoyment of thai food with my friends. Its totally yummy and I am planning again to go there and have fun. Thailand is really a best place to have a so much fun.

Q: cannot get rCarousel to work (nav width and autoscroll) http://www.netwerkhoreca.nl/
I am doing something wrong, but i cannot find what....
Somehow i cannot get the rCarousel to work (top part which says "vrienden van het koksgilde").
I dont really know what i am doing wrong.
I followedthe instructions on this page: http://ryrych.github.com/rcarousel/
I double checked if my links to the scripts and css are right and they are. For some reason the nav of it wont work, neither will it autoscroll. Also i cannot set the width of the carousel to fit the box.
When i am looking with firebug i see that the elements get inline styles, that should have something to do with it i think?
Some help would be greatly apreciated.

A: Currently you only have 3 items in the carousel and they are all visible - therefore there is nothing to do when you click previous/next ;)
Line 33 in your css is the issue with it not fitting the box:
#topbox1 div, #topbox2 div, #topbox3 div {
    color: #888888;
    line-height: 17px;
    padding: 5px 10px 5px 14px;
    width: 100%;
}

Its setting all div's width within each ID'd container to 100%, which is 300px, add to that the padding specified = 324px, which is why its breaking out. Same goes for your H1's just that they are not visibly broken however they are bleeding out of there containers.
Its cascading through the divs, the width you want with that padding maintained is 276px;
#topbox2 #carousel {width:276px;}

Will override the style and make it fit, however I would suggest you look at what's happening with the widths and make them a little more specific.
e.g
#topbox1 > div, #topbox2 > div, #topbox3 > div {
    color: #888888;
    line-height: 17px;
    padding: 5px 10px 5px 14px;
    width: 276px;
}

So just the immediate child divs within the #topboxes and remove the width form the headings:
#topbox1 h1, #topbox2 h1, #topbox3 h1 {
   color: #FFFFFF;
   font-size: 24px;
   padding: 7px 10px 10px 14px;
}

Hope that makes sense!

In the field of mattresses sold online, Saatva stands apart in fundamental ways. Saatva ships its mattresses via trucks, not in the form of a box. And even though, like other sellers on the internet they have progressively expanded its line, Saatva remains focused on a range of "luxury" designs, all priced less than it's Youth model, over $1500 (for one queen size). Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven
There's no doubt that there's a collection of mattresses that are more luxurious than Saatva's, featuring higher coil counts and finer materials.
But we find Saatva's mattresses to be among the most beautiful and thoughtfully designed options offered by an online retailer.
Over the past three years, our team has tested our insidespring Saatva Classic, the memory-foam Loom and Leaf, as well as the all-latex Zenhaven which have all placed among our top picks in our guide to the best foam mattresses and the top innerspring mattresses.
We've also experienced sleeping on the Saatva Mid-Latex Hybrid as well as researched the design and construction of the other beds in Saatva's lineup.Most online mattresses are foams or hybrids, so it's no surprise that the Saatva Classic stands out. It's among the few innerspring mattresses you can conveniently purchase online.
Pocketed coils give the Saatva Classic a good amount of bounce near the top. A cushioned top provides a feeling of softness. Additionally, like the other Saatva Company mattresses they are delivered by movers. Saatva Classic is delivered by moving trucks, not in the form of a box. Saatva also provides a generous 180-day trial period and simple returns.
The all-foam Loom & Leaf is made with denser memory foam than the majority of under-$1,000 mattresses, so it's less likely to shift in time. This is why it's ideal for those who weigh over 200 pounds.
The quilted and thick cover is more cushier and sturdy than the sock-like cover that are found on many foam mattresses, and that cover makes the memory foam layer beneath feel less soft and squishy.
Just like you'd expect with a memory-foam bed The Loom and Leaf is able to limit movement more as compared to an innerspring Saatva Classic.All-foam Zenhaven consists mostly of latex, specifically Talalay latex. It is made from the plant's milky sap. It is incredibly tough. Talalay is more flexible than Dunlop latex that is commonly found in cheaper latex mattresses that we've tried.
The Zenhaven is also flippable (the Luxury Plush side feels medium-firm, while it's Gentle Firm side feels a slightly firmer) It could prove useful if you're not certain what you prefer or if your preferences change over time.
This isn't a traditional cushiony mattress, however it has a soft cushion, good edge support, and mild springiness.
Due to its inherent quality and its suppleness, the Zenhaven is a good choice for people who weigh greater than 200 pounds. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven
Making sense of Saatva
Saatva's portfolio of beds-many with a choice of firmness levels and catering to almost every comfort preference-includes:
Saatva Classic (innerspring)
Loom & Leaf (all foam)
Zenhaven (all latex)
Saatva Latex Hybrid (latex with coils)
Solaire (a Bed with air chambers that can be adjusted)
Saatva HD (a hybrid made of latex and coil that is specifically designed for those who weigh between 300-500 pounds)
Saatva Youth (a foam-coil hybrid for kids aged 3 to 12)
We haven't yet done a deep dive into what we consider to be the "natural" claims of Saatva or of the other "eco-friendly" brands.
We do know that the company uses organic wool or thistle pulp as a flame retardant (as opposed to fiberglass or chemicals) with only organic cotton (instead of synthetic blends) in its mattress covers.
Like other online mattress companies, Saatva touts such extras as zoned layers for "optimal spinal support" but we're not impressed with those features and more appreciative of Saatva's responsive customer service and durable foams and coils. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

Saatva Classic
We recommend this? Yes.
Who's it intended forThe Saatva Classic is likely to suit those who prefer a cushy (but not too billowy) top layer, and an extremely durable, supple feel. The Luxury Firm variant (Saatva's "Medium" offer), which we tested will be suitable for the back, sidestomach and side-sleepers. The soft Plush Soft version is geared to side-sleepers, as does the Firm version for stomach- and back-sleepers.
The way it feels:We tested the Luxury Firm version of the Saatva Classic, the model with the most popularity-and discovered it to be soft on top, and with excellent support and bounce. It starts out with a squarely medium-firm feel, but it softens slightly after a period of break-in time that lasts a couple of months.
We like:The Saatva Classic is one of the very few innerspring mattresses that you can purchase online without the ease that is typically associated with buying the traditional boxed foam mattress. It is made up of 416 solid coils at its base for support, with 884 wrapped individually, more flexible coils stacked on top, to provide pressure relief. There's also a bit of memory foam in the mix, though the real cushioning comes from an inch of polyfoam-and-fiber Euro top (an extra layer of cushion sewn underneath the top layer). The result is a soft and comfortable appeal: it's a bit bouncy, resilient, and supportive with a softness that isn't a hefty billowy sensation.
We tried the 14 1/2-inch Saatva Classic in Luxury Firm in a 2021 group test of innersprings (it's offered in 11 inches) It was the top choice, with the second highest number of top-rated polls (nine from 39 test participants) in the category of $1,000 to $2,000 (which comprised the Avocado and the Parachute, and the first-place WinkBed). Five of those nine testers loved it more than the Saatva Classic better than any of the other mattresses tested in the test that day and included those that cost twice as much and two of the nine testers chose the Saatva Classic as their second-favorite overall.
In the case of the test at home I was looking forward to sleeping in this bed each night. I'm not a fan of a heavy bed, and I was pleased its Euro top provided what seemed to me to be just the perfect amount of cuddling. The bed does have some bounce but not so much that my husband's tumbling over made me wake up. To me, the buoyed up feel was worth the sacrifice in motion isolation.
Around $1,600 if it's not in sale (though it often is) It's a good value at around $1,600. Saatva Classic is the least expensive innerspring mattress we've tried that feels substantial and luxurious. It also has the advantage the fact that you have the option of choosing between three levels of firmness-Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm, so you'll be able to find the right one regardless of what sleeping position you choose to sleep in. Unlike the more-billowy WinkBed, another pick in our innerspring mattress guide, the Saatva Classic is delivered unboxed by movers (so that "new scent of the mattress" is already gone from the factory and while in transit) Also, this "white glove" delivery is absolutely free. The company provides a generous 180-day trial period, as well as a 15-year warranty.
What we don't like: If you're not a fan of a bouncy mattress, or you're insensitive to your partner's movements it's likely that you won't be a fan of Saatva Classic. Saatva Classic. While all the coils on top are wrapped individually the bottom coils aren't, therefore, the bed offers a bit more motion transfer than our other innerspring options like those from the WinkBed. If you're not a fan of any bounce at all You're better off using Saatva's Loom & Leaf.
Saatva Classic is a great mattress for couples. Saatva Classic also requires a little bit of time to get used to. When we first tried the mattress in the year 2018 it was medium-firm. one year and a quarter later we found that it had softened a small amount but in a nice way (at at least to me). It's not a "Soft" mattress However, those who prefer that might be interested in it out. Plush Soft version, which we haven't tested yet.
The company boasts of the "active Lumbar Zone" technology for "additional back support," our husband (who weighs less than 200 pounds) wanted more support when he was in the Luxury Firm. He may have discovered it in the Firm version, but we haven't had the chance to test the technology yet, so we can't know for sure. In general, we are not overly impressed with zoned technology, because people have different heights and shapes, and they could spread out in a way that doesn't coincide with the patterns of zoning.
The foam density in Saatva Classic are lower than those in Saatva Classic are less than those found in Loom & Leaf which is the company's foam-mattress offering. While representatives from the company wouldn't reveal specifics, we were told the density of memory foam is at minimum three pounds for each cubic foot, and the density of polyfoam equals 1 1/2 pounds of cubic feet.
This isn't as great as those of the Loom & Leaf, but the specs are typical in an innerspring mattress and and especially ones in this price range. Unlike with foam mattresses, these mattresses' steel coils offer an additional level of support, and the quilting may help to prevent body impressions.
But as in this Reddit thread suggests, some sleepers have had more success on Saatva mattresses. Saatva mattresses over many years than others. We believe this is based on the size and shape of the person sleeping on it. Similar to all Europillows, or mattresses with a pillow top the heavier you weigh the higher the chance of experiencing sagging and impressions over time.
Therefore, you should rotate your mattress diligently at least once every six months. You should also sleep on top of your mattress.
Saatva Classic top owner-review feedback
We could find just 39 reviews from owners that were of high quality (those that didn't seem fake or vague and were written recently, in 2019 , and in 2020). While the sample size is relatively small, we think it's worth noting that almost 30% of the positive comments praised Saatva's customer service. This is a higher percentage than what we've seen with other online mattress companies.
Also, six of the reviewers mentioned that sagging was an issue; one of them had a weight of more than 200 pounds, and the rest either were lighter or didn't say. All but one had owned the mattress for more than an entire year prior to the date they wrote their reviews. This indicates that turning the mattress is essential and heavier individuals who enjoy innersprings might consider the option of a mattress made from more durable latex foam like this one from the Charles P. Rogers Estate SE. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

Saatva Loom & Leaf
Would we suggest it? Yes.
Who is it intended for This all foam Loom & Leaf appeals to those who like a memory foam that holds rather than engulfing them in a slow, sinky hug. The softer Relaxed Firm version could be ideal for sleepers on the side. The Firm version is intended for stomach or back sleepers. People who weigh more than 200 pounds could also find the Firm to be more supportive than the Relaxed Firm.
What it feels like:The Relaxed Firm is a medium-firm mattress that cradles without tying you in; The Firm (which we've tested only in the showroom) is much firmer.
We like: The 12-inch thick Loom & Leaf comes with an extremely durable, quilted cover, similar to the one you'd find on an innerspring mattress (by contrast, many memory foam mattresses have flimsier, sock-like covers). The cover is made of foam padding, which adds additional nuance to the typically one-note squishiness of cheaper memory-foam mattresses. I slept on the Relaxed Firm at home for over an entire week and enjoyed the fact that it was soft and substantial but also firm. The husband of mine, who loves mattress that are firm, and weighs under 200 pounds-70 pounds more than me-felt it was too soft.
Whereas most online mattresses have a memory-foam density in the 3-pounds-per-cubic-foot range, the Loom & Leaf's top layer has a 4-pounds-per-cubic-foot density with a gel-infused layer meant to assist with cooling (though cooling features like gel and perforations tend to have minimal impact). The mattress also has a 5-pounds-per-cubic-foot memory-foam layer underneath that top layer. With these specifications it is our opinion that this mattress will be less likely to slump or form body indentions as compared to cheaper foam mattresses, even for those who weigh more than 200 pounds (though perhaps not for those who weigh over 250 pounds; check the owner review feedback below). As with any foam mattress, it also provides excellent motion isolation.
In 2020, we conducted a test of the Loom & Leaf Relaxed Firm against the Serta iComfort (both are all-foam mattresses costing more than $1000) The results showed that twenty-one out of 29 users preferred the Loom & Leaf. "It felt softer" was a popular motive; however, some claimed it was less "cushioned." In the event that we tested against the Casper Wave in 2019 the results were split (18 in favor of the Wave 16 , for it; 16 for the Loom & Leaf). The people who chose more of the Loom & Leaf preferred its "cushier" or "more fitting" feel or liked the quilting's texture; those who chose more of the Casper Wave described the Wave as having more support , and that the Loom & Leaf as making them feel more "stuck."
We also like our appreciation that Loom & Leaf, like all of the Saatva Company's mattresses is delivered unboxed, by moving trucks. This means that you don't need to let it air out, like numerous mattresses in boxes; the majority off-gassing will have taken place at the manufacturing facility.
What we don't like: We wish Saatva could provide a level of firmness between Relaxed Firm and Firm. two levels seem to be at least a couple of degrees apart. Although the Loom & Leaf has better edge support than some of the more popular models on the internet (such as the Leesa as well as Casper) Casper), it isn't as sturdy as the combination (like the Leesa Hybrid or the Tempur-Adapt).
Despite the Loom & Leave's cooler gel, as well as its pin core (punctured) design touted on the top layer, I was able to sleep quite warmer on this mattress which was surprising considering that I'm always cold. However, given that it was in the middle of winter, I didn't feel any of it. The tiny holes designed to cool the foam could compromise the longevity of the foam, though likely only a little. Since this Loom & Leaf has a top-layer memory-foam density of 4 pounds per cubic foot, it will remain more durable than your typical foam mattress that costs less than $1,000.
Loom & Leaf top owner-review feedback
We have only found 16 recently updated, top-quality user reviews for this model of the Loom & Leaf. Similar to similar to the Saatva Classic, excellent customer service is a standout from the positive reviews. In 2019 and 2020 many reviewers described their experience with the Loom & Leaf as "too firm" as opposed to "too soft." However it's not easy to make a conclusion about its texture. Many reviewers didn't mention whether they had ordered one of the Relaxed Firm or Firm.
We also noticed that heavier reviewers tend to refer to the Loom & Leaf as too soft or even too saggy. We found reviews on Reddit concerning this Relaxed Firm version being sagging for those who weigh around 250 pounds. If this is your case, consider the Firm version (though, again, it's very firm) or the The Tempur-Adapt (which also has dense foam but a more-distinct memory foam hug). If you weigh well over 200 pounds, you should think about the Zenhaven that is constructed with intrinsically more-durable latex foam. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

Saatva Zenhaven
Does it merit our recommendation? Yes.
Who it's for: The latex-foam Zenhaven will suit those that sleep at any angle, particularly those who prefer a soft cushion without that "sunk-in" feeling. It's also suitable for people of all weights, including those who weigh more than 200 pounds.
What it feels like: The foam mattress can be flipped and comes with handles that let you pick between two options: Its Luxury Plush aspect is on the gentle side of the medium-firm spectrum and is suitable for sleepers who are side-sleepers. Its Gentle Firm side offers a slightly more firmer feeling (the company says it's about 20 percent more firmer, and that is what we think it is).
What we like: Zenhaven Zenhaven consists of two layers of latex (one of which is zoned for pressure points and lower-back support although this could not be useful, depending on your size and where you sleep on the mattress). Latex is a kind of foam made from the milky sap the rubber tree, and it is much more durable than polyurethane foam or memory foam, and so we think this mattress is more robust for those who weigh over 200 pounds.
We like this mattress because the Zenhaven is constructed specifically from Talalay latex, which feels more supple than the Dunlop latex commonly found in less expensive, stiffer latex mattresses, such as the Sleep on Latex Pure Green. The luxury Plush as well as the Gentle Firm sides of the Zenhaven are incredibly soft and springy, but not flexible. The bed as a whole is also more breathable than beds made mostly with Dunlop latex.
I slept upon the Zenhaven for a few months. I personally prefer a more-pillowy feeling (like those of Saatva Classic), but the Luxury Plush aspect of the Zenhaven had grown on me. After putting it to the test for a couple of weeks, I started to appreciate its soft slightly springy surface as well as its cushioned cradle.
My 10-year-old son also likes climbing on it and the Zenhaven's motion isolation doesn't prevent me from being a bit uncomfortable about that. But it's good enough that I'm not aware of my husband's movements during the night. Its edge support can be superior to that of many foam mattresses, such as the Loom & Leaf.
My husband, who weighs less than 200 pounds, and who usually is a back sleeper, likes the Zenhaven to be more substantial and more appealing than the memory foam Loom & Leaf the Relaxed Firm and Saatva Classic Luxury Firm. Saatva Classic Luxury Firm.
The Zenhaven is delivered by movers and not in a box, which means there's less chance to give off that fresh-mattress smell to your home. It's possible to switch between the soft Luxury Plush side and Gentle Firm side Gentle Firm side as your preferences and preferences change, or if you don't know which level you'll like. Because the mattress is heavy (the queen weighs 125 pounds), Saatva will send moving experts to help you out with a one-time "courtesy" flip.
The things we don't love about HTML0:Although the Zenhaven has more supple and soft feel than other mattresses that are all-latex online, it's still less luxurious-feeling than comparable innersprings, and traditional foam mattress since it's not traditionally "fluffy." It was the only two (of 29) staffers who enjoyed it more than any other model in our 2020 test of the hybrid and foam mattresses stated that they liked that it was supportive, and that they believed it would last for a long duration. (In the latex category, most staffers in our blind test preferred the PranaSleep Lotus Asana 6 in Plush, which has a latex-polyurethane-foam construction and costs over $1,000 more than the Zenhaven.)
Because the Zenhaven is extremely heavy and has two sides, it needs to rest on a solid, quality platform bed or a frame and boxspring in good shape. Saatva offers a frame with a boxspring (which comes in two heights) and a frame made of metal.

We were able to find only 18 quality reviews of owners for the Zenhaven-too small a sample size to offer any firm, non-subjective conclusions, beyond good customer service. We did however find one particularly insightful review written by a more long-term owner with no weight (though he did say he was 6 feet 4 inches high).
He stated that after a year a half, he still was impressed by its cushion and strength however, as he hadn't been turning the mattress around, he noticed a hip impression; when he started rotating the mattress every six months, he claimed the impression was gone.

Saatva Latex Hybrid
Are we recommending it? It depends.
Who is it to be used forThe Saatva Latex Hybrid is best suited to those who prefer durability over extravagantness. It's perfect for back and stomach sleepers and those who toss and turn often. It's designed to last for the majority of people, even those who weigh over 200 pounds.
The way it feelsThis 13-inch hybrid of latex and coil is at the soft end of medium-firm. It's very buoyant, slightly bouncy, and has some cushioning and cradling. It's not a plush mattress however, and it's more comfortable to sleep in the mattress than in it.
What we love:The Saatva Latex Hybrid is constructed using top-quality materials and techniques for construction. The quilted surface, made from cotton and a layer of wool (a natural fire retardant), is hand-tufted to the layers underneath. Tufting (commonly used on upholstery or traditional innerspring mattresses) is a type of strong stitching which holds the layers together Some argue that it is more durable than glue, and also avoids the chemical smell of adhesives. The peaks and valleys produced by tufting could help limit any obvious body impressions, and more so than the smooth-topped, sock-covered mattresses that are typically seen in hybrids sold online.
Although most hybrids use an layer of polyurethane foam on top of coils the Saatva Latex Hybrid uses 3 inches of Talalay latex foam (which is ample, compared with the pricier Casper Wave, which uses only half the amount). Latex is more breathable and durable than memory foams or polyurethane. Talalay latex, which is also used in the Zenhaven model, is a much more breathable and supple-feeling foam than the Dunlop varieties that are typically used in cheaper mattresses made of latex.
Wirecutter's supervisory editor Wendy Schley tested the Saatva Latex Hybrid for a few months in her home. She found it strong and supportive. "It is almost buoyant," she said. "There's some cushioning to it, but it's not luxurious in a soft way." Wendy found that the mattress has a buoyant and springy sensation that was reminiscent of an innerspring. She did not feel stuck, but the latex foam offered some motion-simplification. The edge support is excellent, due to thick (13 3/4 -gauge) 8-inch coils along the edge.
Thanks to its breathable materials (the Talalay latex, cotton cover and wool layer at the top) and the coils that make up it is believed that the Saatva Latex Hybrid should sleep cooler than all-foam mattresses and hybrids made from polyfoams. Wendy, who tends to be hot at night, found it to be cooler than the Saatva Latex Hybrid to be notably cooler than other mattresses, even though we haven't yet tested it in the summertime.
We haven't seen enough quality Saatva Latex Hybrid reviews to identify any trends, however, we'll update accordingly when we can.
What we don't like about HTML0: Though the coils are wrapped individually but there's still a hint of motion transfer, due to it's just that, coils. This isn't as significant as motion transfer on the Saatva Classic, however, it's more noticeable than with all-foam alternatives such as the Loom & Leaf or Zenhaven.
A queen-sized Latex Hybrid contains 789 coils (fewer than our top hybrid mattresses, the Tempur-Adapt and the Leesa Hybrid, that have more than 1,000). If a mattress is made up of fewer coils, it sometimes means it won't be able to be as comfortable to your body. But the firmness from the soft latex makes up for that.
As Wendy has experienced, it's true that the Saatva Latex Hybrid isn't an an ahhh kind of mattress. It's like it's lifting you, instead of snuggling you down. And it may not provide enough cushioning to offer sufficient pressure relief for side sleepers as well as back-sleepers who require additional cushioning on certain joints.
Wendy that sleeps side and back and has reported that she's felt sore in her lower back and shoulders after sleeping on the Saatva Latex Hybrid. If you're looking for something more plush, you may want to consider Saatva Classic or the Loom & Leaf. Saatva Classic or the Loom & Leaf (both are available in a variety of firmness levels, including ones which feel more soft than the Saatva Latex).
The tufting on the Latex Hybrid is topped with decorative yarn tassels. They look lovely, but appear to be flimsy to the mattress, and some of them that were on the mattress Wendy tried to unraveled after some time. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

Saatva Solaire Adjustable
Saatva's Solaire can be described as an adjustable air bed made of foam placed on top of air chambers which can be programmed to the level you prefer with a remote. We haven't tried the Solaire yet however, we'll update this guide once we've had the chance to. We'll discuss what we know about the Solaire.
Saatva has introduced Solaire in 2019 to rival the Sleep Number's high-end i8 bed. Along with air chambers as well as an integrated remote and a remote, the Solaire comes with a pillow top, a Talalay latex layer, and the gel-infused memory foam layer. It's also cheaper by $650 over the Sleep Number's i8.
The remote comes with 50 options, compared with Sleep Number's 20 settings, but realistically we're not sure whether anyone really needs more than that. At a glance, the comfort components look like they'd provide a more-curve-conforming cradle than Sleep Number's polyurethane foam layers.
But, of course we won't be able to tell for sure until we lie down on the mattress. The Solaire's Talalay latex materials suggest longevity however, since Sleep Number doesn't divulge details about the foam components, it isn't possible to declare that one mattress has more durability than another.
No matter if you want one of the twins, a king, or something else in between, you can order the Solaire with any dimension as the standard model. If you decide to go with either a queen or a King and want to upgrade, you can choose the Upper-Flex queen or the king, or the split King, which all feature dual air chambers so sleep partners can pick their own level of firmness.
The standard model is compatible with all bed frames (including bases that can be adjusted). The Upper-Flex queen king and the split-king models are made to work specifically on adjustable bases that allow each side to adjust independently.
It is worth noting that the Saatva Company offers its own adjustable frames, including Lineal Adjustable Base Standard and the Lineal Adjustable Base Standard and the Lineal Adjustable Base Upper-Flex. With the frame's upper-flex, couples can utilize the remote to adjust their heads and shoulders individually (for example, one person can lay flat and sleep while the other sits up and reads or reads a book).
The Upper-Flex frame that is designed to fit the split-king Solaire also allows both individuals to elevate their lower bodies independently. We didn't have enough top-quality owner reviews to list here, but we'll update this guide when we're able test the bed for ourselves and gather more reviews. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

Saatva HD
In May of 2019, Saatva introduced the Saatva HD Hybrid Mattress designed for people who weigh between 300 to 500 pounds. We haven't yet tested the mattress , yet. However, we plan to do so in the future.
Like the Saatva Classic and the Loom & Leaf Saatva HD Saatva HD has a pillowy, quilted top layer, but the dense underlying foam and coil layers are said to support more weight.We're particularly curious about the top of the pillow in the HD since experts have told us that, for people who weigh more pillows can be particularly prone to indentations.
The HD's other components, however, seem promising as far as durability is concerned: There is a latex layer, which is typically stronger than memory foam, as well as a memory-foam layer, which has a density of 5 pounds per cubic foot (more than the 4-pounds-per-cubic-foot minimum that experts typically recommend for people who weigh over 200 pounds). What's more the HD's 12 1/2 -gauge coils are thicker than the coils in the other models of the company and the coils in rival models, such as Big Fig. Big Fig.
However, these aren't the only factors that determine the mattress's longevity, and durability alone does not make for a desirable mattress. We plan on investigating these issues further in an forthcoming guide to mattresses that are suitable for those who weigh more than 200 pounds.Saatva "strongly strongly suggests" to place the mattress on a solid platform bed with vertical center support.
Otherwise, representatives told us that you should buy the HD together with its unique "high durability" wood-slat foundation.Again, we spotted very few user reviews that were positive. When we've collected enough information to identify any patterns and have the ability to test the mattress, we'll send an update. Saatva Vs Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

Saatva Youth
The Saatva Youth The company's new coil-and-foam bed for kids, costs more than some mattresses designed for adults. However, it is dual-sided, with an inner coil sandwiched between two foam layers which means that the mattress will expand with the child.
One side of the mattress is designed for children aged 3 to 7 years old, and it is made up of polyfoam that is zoned, with densities ranging between 1.4 and 1.8 tons per square foot.
On the second side, intended for older kids (the company states that it's for ages 8 through 12) the foam density is 1.5 pounds per cubic foot and somewhat less spongy due to its pairing with the firmer side that's part of the coil. The 13 3/4 -gauge coils vary from 330 in the size of a twin, up to 350 in a twin XL and 462 for the full.
The Saatva Youth is 10 inches thick and bunk-bed-friendly-as long as the bed's guardrail is at least 5 inches higher than the mattress, for safety reasons. Those who prefer natural materials might appreciate that the mattress is wrapped in a thick, quilted organic-cotton cover and uses thistle pulp (as instead of chemical sprays or fiberglass) to act as a flame-resistant. We haven't yet tried this mattress, nor have we spotted any online reviews. But we hope to assess it in the future for a guide to mattresses for kids.
The Saatva Youth, the company's relatively new coil-and-foam bed for kids is priced higher than mattresses for grown-ups. However, it is dual-sided, with a coil layer sandwiched between two foam layers and a mattress that can be able to grow with a child.

On the second side, intended for older kids (the company states that it's for ages 8 through 12) the density of foam ranges from 1.5 grams per cubic foot. It's also a bit less softer since it's coupled with the more solid section of coil. The 13 3/4 -gauge coils range from 330 in a twin up to 350 in a twin XL. They also go up to 462 for the full.

Bryan Oviedo is back in contention for Sunderland's trip to Bolton Wanderers tomorrow night.
The left-back was dropped from the squad entirely as the Black Cats fell to a 2-0 defeat against Brentford, with Coleman looking for a more defensive option to support Aiden McGeady's return to the starting XI.
Jake Clarke-Salter started on the left flank before a half-time reshuffle saw Adam Matthews introduced.
Coleman admits the gamble didn't pay off but says he would have been justified in dropping any player after the first 45 minutes at Ashton Gate a week previous.
"After that first 45 against Bristol City I could have left anybody out and nobody could complain," Coleman said.
"We went with Jake who is a bit more defensively minded than Bryan, particularly because we had Aiden in front who is very offensively minded.
"It was a decision I made and you have to do that, come up with a gameplan. Sometimes it doesn't pay off and it didn't on Saturday.
"Bryan will be in contention for tomorrow night, he's actually suffering with a bit of flu at the moment but that isn't why I left him out."
After witnessing his side implode again in the first against Brentford, the Sunderland boss admits a return to five defenders is a strong possibility.
He said: "We've got the opportunity to go back to a five. If everybody comes through today's training session then we can go back. Bolton have been playing with a back three.
"Whatever we play it is the individuals applying themselves, sticking to the gameplan. It is a mental thing more than anything. We train well and I can't knock the lads for that, but when we play we're nervous. We wait until it is too late before we max out."
Coleman is waiting to see how Ovie Ejaria comes through Monday's training session before settling on his team for the crunch game at the Macron Stadium. Lamine Kone, Jonny Williams and Paddy McNair could all return.
Coleman said: "Ovie is training this morning [Monday]. He joined with a bit of a problem but he's getting through it. I'm sure he'll get through the session today but it is the reaction we have to wait for. That's not me playing games, I genuinely can't say if he's going to be ready until he wakes up in the morning.
"Kaz got a kick on his ankle on Friday, and his ankle had been a problem even before then.
"Paddy McNair is back, Lamine Kone is back, and they are both available to start.
"Marc Wilson is a no, but obviously Jonny Williams came on as a sub at the weekend and Callum McManaman was also in the squad so they are fine.
"In terms of numbers, it is the best it has been, and that's one positive."


The same holds for all the other trig functions as well of course. Also remember to keep the following straight.
In the first case we taking the tangent then squaring result and in the second we are squaring the x then taking the tangent.
The tan x^2 is actually not the best notation for this type of problem. We really should probably use tan( x^2) to make things clear.
Another thing to always keep in mind is that -1 in the cos^-1(x) is NOT an exponent , it is there to denote the fact that we are dealing with an inverse trig function. ie.
There is another notation for inverse trig functions that avoids this problem, but it is not always used.

Examine Renters Insurance Price Estimates and Spend Less There are all sorts of reasons a lot of people refuse to purchase renters (homeowners) insurance. Many believe that their landlord's insurance covers them, with regards to their belongings, and their (the renters) personal liability. A few may even presume discover this that a renters insurance is not necessary because they don't have lots of personal belongings. Certainly not enough for renters insurance to be worthy of the price. What does Renters Insurance Cover? Your landlord's insurance only takes care of the building construction . This means the wall surfaces inside which you live . Your private belonging are not included in your landlord's insurance policy . Renters insurance protects your private belongings if they're stolen or are ruined by fire, flooding , or other comparable disasters .

Though condo associations are generally obligated to carry insurance, Florida Laws do not mandate your association's insurance plan to include most equipments and systems unique to your condo. Therefore, you could be held accountable for damage to and replacement of any private possessions, the condo's floor surfaces and wall surfaces, electric equipment and devices, water heaters and filtering system, integral fixtures, and window treatments. You're not obligated to carry insurance for these types of things, but it might be simple to protect yourself financially.

Condo insurance policies can be tailored to your needs and risk assessments, and most insurance policies come with the following coverage choices.


Why would Paul use the example of Eve here? Are all women in subjection as a punishment for Eve's transgression? Does this prove she is the literal mother of all women?
Both Adam & Eve are representatives and their actions/experiences demonstrate God's purpose with all humans. Hence Adam is a representative man, or federal head if you like, similar to Christ (Rom5:14), both of them demonstrate the God's intention/establishment of marriage (Mark 10:6) & the relationship between husband and wife (1Tim 2:10-14).
Eve doesn't have to be the literal mother of all of us for these principles to be set out and then applied. In the same sense a sister is a daughter of Sarah (1Pet 3:6), we are all children of Zion (Gal 4:4) and the saved are brothers and sisters of Christ (Rom 8:29).
Paul refers to the woman's position in the ecclesia not as a consequence of Eve's sin (which is outside of what God said in Genesis 3) but rather as an example of what may occur if a woman does not ally herself to the role Paul advocates. He is speaking specifically to women who are faithful and striving to follow the ways of God (1Tim 2:10). It reads to me that Paul is saying here that Eve overstepped her role and sinned, and that women in the ecclesia be mindful of this as they take up their roles in the ecclesia and their families.

Touring Sciadipersia Cabrio Looks Stunning Ahead Of 2019 Villa d'Este
05/24/2019 Comments Off on Touring Sciadipersia Cabrio Looks Stunning Ahead Of 2019 Villa d'Este
Just 13 left to be assembled.
After making its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year, the Touring Superleggera Sciadipersia Cabriolet will show up again at the 2019 Villa d'Este Concours. The open-top grand tourer will compete for the Design Award during the 90th edition of the event.
"We are thrilled at the idea of contending for the Design Award again this year, with a growing number of other companies that follow suit in entering the coach built domain. It is good for the Concorso and for our business alike," Piero Mancardi, CEO of Superleggera, comments.
In Geneva two months ago, we saw a Night Blue example of the car but the one that's going to be on display at Villa d'Este has a different finish. The second produced example of the cabriolet is painted in "a delicate shade of sand over ochre and cream." The interior features contrasting white stitching which makes for a perfect color combination "for the glamorous venue on the lake Como shores."
The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible-based cabrio offers room for four passengers and the automaker promises the seats are large enough to comfortably accommodate four grown-ups. The overall look of the car, Superleggera says, is inspired by the Golden Age of Motoring with "classic and timeless design that continues to set standards."
See The Car In Geneva:
Power is provided by a naturally-aspirated V8 engine pushing out 460 horsepower (338 kilowatts) at 7,000 rpm. Power reaches the rear wheels through a six-speed ZF automatic gearbox. The estimated 0-62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) acceleration takes about five seconds, while top speed is 179 mph (288 kph).
The Italian coachbuilder plans to produce exactly 15 examples of the convertible grand tourer. Each one will be built entirely by hand at the company's plant near Milan. Pricing details are still not available and Touring Superleggera says it will give further information to interested customers upon request.

Saturn's rings are wide but very thin. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the rings edge-on in 1995.
In a rare cosmic event, four of Saturn's many moons will cross the ringed planet's face Tuesday morning, each casting a shadow on the gas giant's surface.
The event is not one that casual skywatchers will be able to see. But it will be photographable by seasoned amateur skywatchers through mid-sized backyard telescopes high-end camera setups, and the Hubble Space Telescope will photograph the event.
Meanwhile, for the rest of us: Comet Lulin will be very near Saturn from Monday Night through Tuesday night, making the barely-visible fuzzball comet relatively easy to find.
"Titan, Mimas, Dione and Enceladus will pass directly in front of Saturn and we'll see their silhouettes crossing Saturn's cloudtops -- all four at the same time." said Keith Noll of the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute.
Transits of this many of Saturn's moons are rare.
"They only happen every 14 to 15 years when the orbits of Saturn's moons are nearly edge-on to Earth," Noll said. This will be the first time Hubble captures four moons crossing Saturn at once.
The event begins on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 10:54 UT (5:54 a.m. EST) when Titan's circular shadow falls across Saturn's cloudtops," according to a NASA statement. About 40 minutes later, the ruddy disk of Titan itself moves over the clouds.
"Titan is so big, you can see it just by looking through the eyepiece of a small telescope -- no special camera is required," said astrophotographer Christopher Go of the Philippines.
One by one, the smaller moons Mimas, Dione and Enceladus will follow Titan. At 14:24 UT, all four satellites and their shadows will simultaneously dot Saturn's disk. Spotting these moons is not something the average person with a small telescope can do, however.
"To photograph the smaller moons, you'll need a mid-sized backyard telescope equipped with a good CCD camera," Go said in the NASA statement.
"The transit of Titan will be of particular interest," Noll said. "Researchers plan to use Saturn as a backlight to probe the size and transparency of the giant moon's atmosphere." While Saturn's rings are most dramatic when tilted significantly from our point-of-view, this week Hubble will capture a rare view of the rings almost edge-on, a point of view that can reveal ring-warps, undiscovered satellites, and new information about the reflectivity of ring particles.

Tag: Warlock Pinchers

Who: Erica Brown w/The Movers & Shakers
When: Thursday, 01.11, 2 shows doors 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Why: Powerhouse blues singer Erica Brown has been a staple of Denver music for decades at this point. Sure, she has shared the stage with numerous noteworthy blues and R&B musicians including Al Green, B.B. King and the like and that's cool. But more importantly, Brown's powerful voice has been present not just in her own bands and solo efforts but also in Denver music in general. She has done vocals for Dan Treanor's Afrosippi Band and weird funk group Cherry Bomb Club (which later meant joining Warlock Pinchers on stage for their 2010 reunion shows). She has contributed to albums from Slim Cessna's Auto Club and Xiren. Erica Brown is a multifaceted talent who has done things on her own terms and established a reputation for excellence that is all but unique in Denver.
Who: Infernal Coil, Inoculated Life, Augur and Heathen Burial
When: Thursday, 01.11, 7:30 p.m.
Why: Could be described as the industrial grind show since it involves Boise, Idaho's Infernal Coil, Colorado's own Heathen Burial, the hanging buzzsaw atmospherics of Denver's Inoculated Life and the ritualistic vibe of black metal band Augur from Denver as well. It'll be at Mutiny so it'll be intimate in the back area for such a show with such abrasively gloomy music. Perfect.
Who: Musical Mayhem: Bonnie Weimer, FULL BLEED, Lepidoptera
Where: Skylark Lounge
Why: It's Musical Mayhem, the monthly (or is it bi-monthly?) showcase hosted by Claudia Woodman and simulcast by Hypnotic Turtle Radio. You never quite know what you're going to get except that it'll be a little different, as it were, and worthwhile. Full Bleed says "Droney psychedelic stoner metal shoegaze instrumental improv RöCK from Denver." Lepidoptera is meditative guitar, field recording and keyboard-y soundscapes. Bonnie Weimer, though, has been in various projects in Denver over the years including her solo project. "Banjo Bonnie" may play some traditional banjo stuff in her set but mostly its originals that take a familiar sound in unfamiliar directions.

I'm A Boy, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Ice Troll, New Standards Men, Paperbark, Venereal Crush and visuals by Orchidz3ro
Why: Ice Troll is a sprawling psychedelic, doom prog band. Paperbark uses modular synths to create deeply textured ambient drones. Venereal Crush from Dubuque, Iowa is probably well within the realm of noise but its compositions feel like ambient music or composed sound environments using organic/live instruments alongside incredibly minimal synths. Is New Standards Men post-rock? Maybe so but it is also reminiscent of a doomier, more melodic Laddio Bolocko or Dazzling Killmen. Fortunately bands like this and some others playing venues up and down South Broadway are helping to keep the neighborhood a little weird in the face of Nü Denver tourist culture.
Who: Deer Creek w/Still Valley, Piojos and Drune
Where: Moon Room at Summit Music Hall
Why: The doom/sludge rock thing kinda died off in Colorado around a decade ago but mutated and turned into something maybe even better. Deer Creek has its roots back to the older sludge scene and remains one of the heaviest bands in Denver. Piojos includes former members of various heavy acts from Denver and Pueblo including Black Lamb. But pedigree aside, the sharply irreverent humor of Piojos can be heard all over its excellent 2016 album Fuck Everyone in Pueblo. Need it be mentioned they're based in Pueblo and some people didn't get the humor? Still Valley from Colorado Springs is classic sludge doom in the vein of Sleep, Acid Bath and Grief.
Who: Surrender Signal, Laurium and Old Sport
Where: BarFly (Alamo Drafthouse, West 4255 W. Colfax location)
Why: Surrender Signal's gritty melodies and fluid dynamics are reminiscent of Lungfish and East Coast post-punk/post-hardcore bands of the early 90s. Maybe a little Jawbox, Slint and Quicksand are in there too. Old Sport blurs the line between post-hardcore and melodic math rock and doesn't skimp on the raw energy and passion in its performance.
Who: I'm A Boy, Grammar School and Teacup Gorilla facebook.com/events/136041710495512
Why: I'm A Boy is one of the few straight ahead rock and roll bands that doesn't seem like it's trying too hard to tap into the realm of classic rock. That's because singer/guitarist Jimmi Nasi is a gifted songwriter in his own right who has a knack for knowing when a song works rather than lean on someone else's music as a prop. Bassist Whitney Reher and drummer Jeffrey Mince provide a simple but dynamic jumping board for Nasi's melodic gyrations, Nasi and Rehr striking poses because it's more fun for them and more enjoyable as someone there for the show. Teacup Gorilla manages to write glam rock with inventive atmospheres and a theatrical flair of their own. Apparently Grammar School is bringing ragtime back.

Sgt. D's List, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Choosey Mothers
Why: The Choosey Mothers came out of Denver's 80s punk scene with former members of bands that are even difficult to find online like the Trontils and Malice in Wonderland. But the Mothers established themselves as a raw punk band of note in the 90s at a time when the Dead Silence, Burnt Fase and, of course, The Fluid were exerting a strong influence on Colorado punk generally. This reunion show is to celebrate the 50th birthday of Sam Grampsas of The Mothers so it's only fitting the show, which is free, is happening at Mutiny Information Café which is run by other smart, old school Denver punkers.
Who: Mr. Atomic, Television Generation and Meet the Giant
Why: When a lot of 90s fuzz rock gets co-opted by a new generation of wannabes a watering down of what made that older music worthwhile is inevitable. Fortunately, these bands pushed that kind of rock and roll into more interesting territories and actually rock rather than playing AT it. Television Generation, sure, sounds like they got put into a deep freeze in 1993 Seattle and woken up in recent years. But its songwriting is strong and they've absorbed influences that have come along since grunge imploded in the mid-90s. Meet the Giant sounds like what happens when people who may have tried to make sludge rock got bored and wanted to write dynamic songs that would be fun to play instead of living up to a stoner rock cliché in their garage.
Who: Sgt. D's List (S.O.D. Tribute), Hallowed Screams (Slayer tribute) and FUBAR
Where: Black Sky Brewery
Why: Normally tribute bands are kinda wack. But Sgt. D's List is comprised of veterans of Denver's grind, death metal and thrash scenes who bring to life the music of a S.O.D., one of the early crossover bands and tongue in cheek in a way that no one would do these days for obvious reasons. That band included members of Anthrax and Nuclear Assault and became an influence on metal and hardcore from its 1985 inception.
Who: Hot Rize 40th Anniversary
Why: A gala celebration of one of Colorado's most influential bands, Hot Rize, who helped to make modern bluegrass accessible to a wide audience without watering down the virtues of the music through attaching it directly to other genres of music. Even if you don't consider yourself a fan of bluegrass, go check out Hot Rize and see an engaging live act whose musicianship and songwriting speaks for itself beyond genre. For this event, the band will bring in friends/guests Del McCoury, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, Jerry Douglas and more
Who: Shattered Mirrors – GSTV, Ritual, Julian Black and guest DJ Bryan Erickson of Velvet Acid Christ
Where: Black Box
Why: This is the newest music night hosted by DJ Ritual. This edition including a guest DJ set from Bryan Erickson of Velvet Acid Christ. Given Erickson's dry yet surreal sense of humor, he may end up playing a bunch of dance-worthy stuff that isn't in what one might presume to be his musical bailiwick.
Monday | January 15, 2018
Who: St. Vincent: Fear the Future Tour
Where: The Fillmore Auditorium
Why: Annie Clark was once a member of Polyphonic Spree but as St. Vincent she has long since distinguished herself as one of the most interesting songwriters and musicians of the past decade with a string of albums that explore the nature of identity, the complexities of dreams and aspirations and the way unexamined social norms warp our natural growth. Her latest album, 2017's Masseduction, seemed more personal than previous offerings and hit with the emotional nuance and finely crafted dramatics of a J.G. Ballard novel.
Tuesday and Wednesday | January 16 and 17, 2018
DIane Schuur. photo courtesy dianeschuur.com
Who: Diane Schuur
When: Tuesday, 01.16 and Wednesday 01.17, two shows each night, doors 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Why: Diane Schuur is cooler than most of us because her mentors include Stan Getz and Frank Sinatra. She has collaborated with Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Quincy Joes, Dizzy Gillespie and BB King. Among others. Her emotive vocals and expressive pianowork has garnered the admiration of her peers and a fanbase appreciative of an artist that doesn't just have chops but the soul and poetic, lyrical sensibility to guide her songcraft. She's playing four shows in Denver, early and mid-evening shows, on both Tuesday 1/16 and Wednesday 1/17.
