Virtual Mailbox Services
This article was published by Nomadtopia Collective , on their website, 2020-10-18.
The Internet gave us text-only email with bare-bones interfaces which were clearly designed by and for techies only. Fortunately, decades later, the Web gave us rich email designed by user interface experts for the general public — making it possible for anyone to read and respond to their electronic mail anywhere in the world, provided that they could get online. This truly was a boon for travelers, expats, foreign service staff, and anyone else far from home, who wanted to stay in touch with family members, friends, colleagues and businesses. But it didn't solve the problem of accessing one's postal mail — at least, not initially.
With time, this need was met by a growing number of Web-based mailbox services that allow you to manage your paper mail as easily as electronic mail. The specific features offered by each company varies from one to the next, and from basic plans to the most premium, but the core features are usually more than sufficient for most customers:
Address: As a customer, you are assigned a unique street address with your own suite number. It will be a legal street address you can use on forms, including tax-related ones, but not as the residential address for a financial account, such as a bank account.
Receiving: On your behalf, the virtual mailbox company accepts all postal mail addressed to that unique name and address — envelopes and packages, domestic and international, including those delivered by the major commercial shipping companies, such as FedEx, DHL, and UPS.
Scanning: For each piece of postal mail received, the company creates a grayscale or color image of the outside of the envelope or package, typically using a flatbed scanner. This feature — automatically scanning any incoming mail — is sometimes refer to as mail digitization.
Viewing: You then receive notification, typically as an email message, informing you that a new piece of postal mail has arrived in your virtual mailbox and its outer contents scanned. After logging into the company's secure website, you can view the scan images of the outer envelope or package, and optionally save them to local storage (such as a laptop). It is wise to always do this — including the sender's name and date received in the file name — as it allows you to later see how much mail you have been receiving during the past, from which senders, and what their future mailings will probably look like.
Opening: Most plans also allow you to request that a piece of mail be opened and its contents scanned and posted in your online account as images or, even better, PDF files of higher visual quality. It is advisable to save these files, even more so than those of the outer envelope or package. Most plans specify a limited number of scans allowed each month for the envelopes and their contents, with additional charges for each item above the limit. People who have wisely eliminated all junk mail and pare down their incoming mail to the bare minimum, may find that they never go over the limits.
Forwarding: Regardless of whether or not you have had a particular item opened and scanned, you can request that it be forwarded to any valid postal address in the United States or other country, provided that you pay for the postage plus usually a surcharge for the service. If the particular item is a bank check, most mailbox companies can forward it to your bank, for deposit.
Destruction: You can ask your chosen mailbox company to shred and recycle any item that has not been forwarded. Generally it is good to do one or the other, after saving the scans to your local file system, otherwise the physical mail will pile up at their location, and you will be charged for that storage.
Most people would be quite uncomfortable knowing that government agents or nosy neighbors were opening their mail, so it is understandable that people would be concerned about a private company doing that on a regular basis. Not a week goes by that we do not read about a corporation or government losing millions of personal records, which end up in the hands of data brokers and identity thieves.
But in my experience, the mailbox service staff members are bonded and considerate of their customers' data. Moreover, they well know that if anyone in their company were to be caught engaging in identity theft or the selling of customers' personal information, that news would quickly spread throughout the community of expats, travelers, and other customers — destroying the jobs of that firm and possibly their prospects of ever again working in the industry. In addition, I suspect they are so busy opening and scanning the nonstop deluge of incoming mail, that they have little time or interest in reading other people's mail.
When people consider switching from a regular mailbox to an online alternative, one of the most common questions is whether or not banks and other financial institutions will consider the virtual mailbox addresses as legitimate. The same is true of government entities, especially in applying for a driver's license. After all, these organizations can find out that a virtual mailbox address is not a true residential address, by automatically checking to see if it is listed as a private mailbox (PMB) with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). In fact, if any such address is used with a financial company as your mailing address, they may alter the address by changing any "Suite" or other designator to "PMB".
In general, no such virtual mailbox address can be used as a residential address, but in my experience banks, credit card companies, and other financial organizations are quite willing to use one as your mailing address, as long as you have provided a legitimate street address as your residential one. That may not have been the case decades ago, but it certainly is now, in this era of "know your customer" (KYC) government regulation and scrutiny.
With any legitimate virtual mailbox company, you cannot avoid letting the US government know that you are using a non-residential address, because most if not all services have been approved by the USPS as a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA). In addition, anyone who applies for a private mailbox must complete USPS Form 1583, to authorize the chosen company to open and process their mail as an agent. (For most companies, the form 1583 does not need to be notarized.)
Another common question is whether or not you can activate and then use (online only, of course) a debit card or credit card that has been scanned into your virtual mailbox, without physically receiving the card. After all, the new card number, expiration date, and activation toll-free phone number are displayed in your mailbox account. In my experience, it works fine.
The companies profiled here are all geared toward customers in the United States, as I'm not familiar with mail services in other countries. However, if you are overseas and anticipate that you will need to ask your mail company to forward you an item of value that they will receive, always ask the original sender to not indicate a value on the item(s) and instead label it a gift, otherwise you will likely be subject to paying a duty to the foreign country where you currently reside.
This article does not consider any forwarding / shipping companies that offer no virtual mail services, but rather only those companies that allow customers to read their mail online. They are presented in alphabetical order. In all cases, the least expensive plan is noted — one best geared to any traveler who has wisely managed to minimize incoming mail.
Americas Mailbox
Focusing mostly on mail forwarding and South Dakota residency, Americas Mailbox apparently only offers scanning and online display of mail as part of their most expensive plan, "Titanium". For each year, it costs almost $229 plus a state tax plus a one-time $25 start-up fee. It includes unlimited exterior scans of the front of every incoming envelope and package. Interior scans can be requested, and cost an additional unspecified fee. A customer's mailbox address would be in Box Elder, South Dakota.
This company could be a good choice for someone RVing within the United States who is not interested in reading mail online, but instead only having it forwarded to campgrounds. But for anyone who wants a low-cost virtual mailbox, this company would be a poor choice.
Anytime Mailbox
Another questionable choice, Anytime Mailbox appears to be more of a reseller of independent mail processing companies — more than 900 in the United States, as of this writing — indicated by the fact that each location charges its own monthly rate. Some of them cost as little as $6.99 per month, and the services offered vary from one location to another. All of them offer "Incoming Mail" as a feature; some offer "Open & Scan" and some offer "Forwarding". In the United States, most of their locations appear to be serviced by PostNet.
In the Reddit travel forum, a commenter noted that Anytime Mailbox charges a sign-up fee of $25, that they are not upfront about it, and that they apparently claimed that it is mentioned in their terms and conditions. If this is true, they certainly are not making it clear, because I searched through that document and found no mention of any sign-up fee.
Their website states that they will "Scan or photograph an envelope, package, or label with any mobile device, tablet, or scanner." This implies that one of their affiliates may choose not to scan your mail with a proper flatbed scanner to generate a high-quality image or PDF, but instead could use the camera of a smartphone, with no guarantee of image quality.
Dockside Mail
Located at Shilshole Bay Marina in Seattle, Washington, Dockside Mail offers some services best suited for boaters actually located at that marina — such as mailbox rental and business center capabilities — but also services appropriate for world travelers — including mail forwarding and scanning, as well as check deposits into a bank account.
Their cheapest plan costs $33 per month and allows for the exterior scanning of up to 10 envelopes. To have an envelope opened and its contents scanned, costs an additional $0.75. There is no additional charge for shredding mail or holding it for further instructions. A check deposit costs $12. Domestic forwarding, per item, costs five dollars plus the postage and packaging costs. International forwarding costs an additional five dollars.
Earth Class Mail
Generally considered one of the pricier alternatives, Earth Class Mail does have the advantage of multiple locations across the United States, allegedly forming the largest network in the industry, and boasting addresses in an incredible 65 cities. The company offers addresses in Oregon (specifically, Beaverton) and other states that do not charge sales tax.
All of their "MailBox" plans include the receipt and scanning of up to 50 pieces of mail per month, free secure shredding, and 30 days of physical mail storage for envelopes and 10 days for packages. They scan the contents of incoming mail, create a searchable PDF file for each one, and add it to your account — at which point you can download it to your local device or sync it to a cloud storage service (Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box.com). Their least expensive plan is intended for a single recipient, and costs $19 per month.
They note that all of the addresses provided are valid commercial addresses and can be used for registering companies. Earth Class Mail certainly has a lot of experience in processing mail; according to their website, they have scanned more than 10 million pieces of mail (as of this writing).
iPostal1
Featuring many US and foreign locations, as well as affordable pricing, iPostal1 is definitely worthy of one's consideration. The company currently has mailbox locations in Washington DC and all 50 states except South Dakota and Vermont. Outside the United States, locations can be found in Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
For US mailbox locations, the most affordable plan, known as "Virtual Mailing Address", starts at less than ten dollars per month or $99 per year, with no sign-up fee. However, that price is for mail centers in locations of weaker demand. For more popular locations, one may have to choose a more expensive plan, such as Select (+$10), Premium (+$20) or Prestige (+$30). Exterior scans are included in the monthly plans, up to a specified limit that should be more than enough for most people. You can request that they scan the contents of any mail item, for a small extra charge (typically a couple dollars for up to six pages).
A feature unique to iPostal1 is that even for their lowest-cost plan, a customer has the option of adding phone and fax service — thus completing the essential elements of a virtual business office.
Mailbox Forwarding
One possible problem of renting a mailbox — whether it is a physical mailbox at a USPS location or a postal services business — is being assigned a mailbox number that was used by a previous customer in the past, and as a consequence receiving mail addressed to them, with or without a person's name included. Similarly, if you stop using a mailbox number and it is later assigned to someone else, they could potentially receive mail intended for you, including sensitive financial documents and credit cards, if the postal clerk fails to see the discrepancy in the recipient's name.
Mailbox Forwarding solves that problem by never recycling mailbox numbers. In other words, they assign a unique mailbox number to every customer, and never assign that number to anyone else. In fact, if you close down your account but then later reopen it, they will give you back the same number, which makes it easier to resume doing business with them. Most virtual mailbox companies use four-digit numbers, but Mailbox Forwarding uses five digits, which allows for 10 times as many unique mailbox numbers.
The most affordable plan starts at $14.95 per month, and includes the exterior scanning of up to 50 pieces of mail and the interior scanning of 15 of those pieces. The first month of service is free, which gives you an opportunity to try them out with no risk. They offer street addresses in three cities: Grandville, MI; Pompano Beach, FL (for an additional $10 per month); and Los Angeles, CA (for an additional $15 per month).
One downside is that they do not offer any phone support, but only allow customers to use support tickets online. As a test many years ago, I submitted a simple support ticket to them, and it took six days for them to reply.
MaillinkPlus
Despite a focus on forwarding mail to domestic and international addresses, MaillinkPlus still allows customers to view scans of incoming mail online — at a cost of one dollar per page. This is apparently in addition to the cost of renting a physical mailbox, which can be done most cheaply when choosing a small box and paying the $100 for a full year. The customer's address would be at the company's sole location, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
MyRVmail
While little known among digital nomads, MyRVmail, also branded as Good Sam Mail Service, provides all of the services that RV enthusiasts and other domestic travelers might need. Each customer is given a unique address in Crestview, Florida. However, scanning and online viewing of incoming mail is only provided at the "Premium" level, which costs, at its cheapest, $194.40 for every 12 months. Their website states that it includes all the scans up to a monthly limit, with each additional one costing $2.50, but it is not clear what the monthly limit is, and they don't distinguish exterior versus interior scanning; perhaps they mean both.
My Smart Mailbox
Similar to MaillinkPlus, My Smart Mailbox has expertise in mail forwarding, yet it does offer mail scanning. Their website apparently does not reveal what city or cities are available for addresses, but given that it appears to be a small business, they probably offer only one location, somewhere in Florida.
The "Starter" mail scanning plan cost $9.95 per month, with no setup fee, and provides for the scanning of up to 80 items — the envelopes and the pieces of paper contained therein. They also include check deposit, for an additional five dollars per check, plus the postage for the company to forward the check to the bank.
Parcel Room
With an odd company slogan of "We'll Make It Go Away", Parcel Room offers private physical mailboxes at their facility in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as well as virtual mailboxes online. Each one is designated by a number consisting of only three digits, which suggests that this is a small company. Moreover, their website doesn't even seem to have a link for customers to login and view their virtual mail, which suggests that this service is not a priority to them.
A "Personal" plan costs $25 per month (with a three-month minimum), along with a $15 setup fee that is waived if you rent for at least one year. Like some of its competitors, Parcel Room allows multiple different names to be used on the box — which could be useful for multiple DBAs. Unlike its competitors, Parcel Room does not appear to have any limitation on the number of exterior and interior scans, aside from how many pieces of mail be stored in one of their "small" physical mailboxes. They mention on their website that "We open and scan all letter mail", so if one were to always immediately request that they shred incoming mail as soon as it has been scanned, then theoretically there is no limit within the Personal plan.
PhysicalAddress.com
Although their website likely won't win any design awards, PhysicalAddress.com offers all of the popular mailbox services, with locations in seven different American cities. The lowest-price location is in Boise, Idaho, costing only $7.98 per month. Las Vegas, Nevada is just one dollar more. An extra two dollars would be enough for a mailbox in Atlanta, Georgia, or Dallas, Texas, or Orlando, Florida. Reflecting a higher cost of living, a Laguna Beach, California mailbox would be $10.98 per month. As expected, Wall Street, New York is the priciest plan, at $19.98 per month.
All of these plans include envelope and content scans, an unlimited number of mail recipients, support seven days per week, free registered agent, secure shredding, and other features that would be of interest to digital nomads and other long-term travelers. Unlike other companies, this one is wise enough to include on their websites screenshots of what their interface looks like for customers using web access or their Android or iPhone app. They even have an affiliate program, although it appears to be lacking an affiliate-specific URL that one could provide to prospective customers. Support is provided by phone and email.
PO Box Zone
Contrary to the name of the company, if you were to opt for PO Box Zone, then you would not be provided with a USPS Post Office box, but rather a virtual one, located in your choice of Las Vegas, Nevada or Casper, Wyoming. Their cheapest plan for low-volume customers costs $99 per year, if billed annually. Letter scanning up to 10 pages would be an additional dollar; a piece of mail comprising 11-20 pages would be two dollars; 21-30 pages would be three dollars. Scanned mail can be downloaded from their website to your computer, or transferred to a cloud solution such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
To have up to 10 letters forwarded to another address, in a single package, would cost $5.50, plus the actual postage. They provide mail and package storage at no extra charge, for up to six months, which is much longer than most other mail processing companies. Like most of their competitors, they automatically discard junk mail. One seemingly unique feature is that they can provide regular mail forwarding, on a daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis.
PostScan Mail
Headquartered in Anaheim, California, PostScan Mail has more than 200 locations throughout the United States (89 in California alone), as well as one location in Switzerland and one in the Czech Republic. They provide all the typical services — mail receiving, scanning, forwarding, storage, and shredding. Unlike most other companies, their online accounts feature customizable mail management filters, which allow you to automatically perform operations based upon characteristics of each particular mail item received.
The "Starter" plan could be as low as $9.95 per month, depending upon which location you choose. It allows for the receiving and processing of up to 30 mail items per month, and the opening and scanning of up to five of those. The ambiguity of the monthly fee is because each location is run by a "partner", like a franchise. The potential disadvantages are the same as those noted above for Anytime Mailbox, which operates in a similar manner.
Scan Mailboxes
Unlike its bigger competitors, Scan Mailboxes does not have locations all over the United States, but rather just one, in Austin, Texas. Yet they still provide all of the regular services that one would expect. Their lowest-cost yearly plan ("Basic") is priced at $180, and it allows for the exterior scanning every month of up to 30 envelopes or packages, and the interior scanning of up to five of those. To increase those limits to 100 exterior scans and 30 interior, one can opt for the "Standard" plan, at $270. In addition, it supports three separate business names.
The company is a Texas registered agent, which could be valuable to anyone interested in forming a limited liability company, corporation, or a nonprofit organization in Texas. Scan Mailboxes could then act as your agent for receiving and processing legal business documents.
St. Brendan's Isle
Reflecting their focus on customers traveling by cruise ship or RV, St. Brendan's Isle requires that any new customer first choose a non-virtual service plan (the cheapest one is "Traveler Special", at $11.99 per month) and then add an additional service for scanning mail (the cheapest one is "Standard", at $7.99 per month). It provides for exterior scanning of up to 40 pieces of mail. If you want the staff to open one of them and scan its contents, then that will cost an additional $0.50 for the envelope and another $0.50 for the first five pages; additional pages are free. This piecemeal approach to pricing could result in long-term costs higher than expected.
The company is apparently located in the Jacksonville, Florida area, and each customer would receive a street address in Green Cove Springs, Florida.
TravelingMailbox
Possibly the best known of the many virtual mailbox companies, TravelingMailbox offers all of the features that one would expect, as well as unlimited cloud storage of one's scanned mail and the ability to organize that mail into separate folders online. The standard addresses are located in Sanford, North Carolina, while the premium ones are in the Midwest (nine different cities, as of this writing), the Northeast (nine cities), the Southeast (six cities), the Southwest (five cities), and the West (11 cities).
Their "Basic Plan" costs $15 per month for the standard addresses and more for any of the premium ones. All of them provide exterior scans of up to 40 envelopes per month, 35 interior page scans, free mail shredding, up to three mailbox recipients, junk mail filtering (which does not count against your monthly allotment), and unlimited cloud storage. The higher-level plans add a feature that I have not seen offered by any other company, namely, unused scans are rolled over to the next month.
US Global Mail
With a modern website and a focus on technology, US Global Mail distinguishes itself from its many competitors that look like shipping and forwarding companies that merely added virtual mailbox capabilities as an afterthought. As one would expect, they handle the receiving and scanning of all incoming mail, except for junk mail, which is recycled. In addition, they plant a tree for every new member who signs up for their service. Customers can view the incoming mail on the company's website or using their app.
Their basic plan costs $14.99 if billed monthly, and only $9.99 if billed annually. It provides 45 days of free mail storage, free check deposit, and one name on the account (premium plans allow multiple family members and even multiple companies). Unfortunately, the website currently does not make clear how many exterior scans that includes, if any. Interior mail scans cost three dollars (presumably per month) plus $0.50 for every page — which could result in a higher overall cost than most of the other companies available. The website also does not clearly state all of the possible locations. They do allude to San Diego, California and Naples, Florida, but do not seem to have a list of all possibilities. Regardless of the mailbox location, all of the incoming mail is forwarded to their headquarters in Houston, Texas — undoubtedly adding a delay to customers seeing their mail scans.
Some of the suite numbers used by former customers are used again. In those cases, mail addressed to former customers is either discarded or shipped to them. If the mail is for an address that is no longer active or no longer belongs to them, the mail is returned to the sender.
USA2Me
With a rating of A+ from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), USA2Me offers a wide range of mail and shipping services, including their online mail manager system, which comes with any of their mail forwarding accounts. All incoming mail pieces are scanned, and customers can request content scans of any of them. Their "Basic" plan has a one-time setup fee of $23 but no monthly fee. The cost of scanning the contents of each letter is three dollars for up to six pages, and $0.50 for each additional page. For travelers who have minimized their incoming mail to few if any pieces each month, this company might prove to be the least expensive.
The Best Choice?
If you are in the market for a virtual mailbox service, which one would best serve your needs naturally depends upon what those needs are and how much you want to spend to fulfill them. Do you typically receive dozens of pieces of mail every month, or, like me, almost none? Do you want to be able to view and manage your mail using your smartphone, but not be limited by a company's website? In that case, you would want to choose a company that provides a phone app. Do you only want to do business with a company ranked highly by the Better Business Bureau? That would significantly reduce the number of viable options. Do you plan to live outside the United States but continue to purchase products from US companies? In that case, look for a company that has years of experience in international package forwarding.
Regardless of your needs and budget, it is fortunate that there are plenty of promising candidates from which to choose.
You don't have to worry: Michael will have it done immediately. He's great.

Canadian parents share relief, concern as several provinces send kids back to school
Ducks upset UCLA in OT for Altman's 700th win
LOS ANGELES – Oregon lost a close game before being briefly shut down by COVID-19. The ducks finally turn a corner.
Jacob Young scored 23 points for the season and Oregon passed No. 3 UCLA 84-81 in extra time Thursday night to give coach Dana Altman his 700th career award.
What Richardson added 12 points as one of the three Ducks in Trouble. Oregon (10-6, 3-2 Pac-12) won his fourth straight series. The ducks filled the courtroom and their big celebration in the locker room was heard in the empty Pauley Pavilion.
"We haven't beaten well all year, but we've shown a little bit of growth tonight," said Altman, who is 700-359 in his 33 season as a Division I coach. "I'm very proud of the way he fought."
Johnny Juzang had 23 points and nine rebounds, and Jules Bernard added 13 points for the Bruins (10-2, 2-1). Their second loss of the season ended a five-game losing streak.
"Maybe you're humble and hungry if they're trying to get rid of so-called frustration, or you're just arrogant for no reason because we haven't won anything," said Bruins coach Mick Cronin.
The teams exchanged baskets for the first time in overtime. Young scored for Oregon with two lead. Jaime Jaquez Jr. missed the free trips they could have built. Young also scored for the Ducks to lead 83-79.
Myles Johnson scored UCLA Richardson before making one of the two free kicks to lead 84-81. Juzang's ability to tie a 3-point miss. Bernard bought a rebound and put the jumper on De'Vion Harmon he held her hand as time went on.
"We have talented guys, but we have to slow down and we haven't done that," Juzang said. "You can't have too many mistakes."
The Bruins forced extra time Jaylen Clarkstealing is the first set to tie 73-all and 16 seconds left. Richardson missed a 3-pointer for Duck and Bernard missed 3 for the Bruins in the closing seconds.
The two teams plotted against the player in the extra five minutes. They never lost Eric Williams Jr., who had 10 points and eight points. The Bruins were lost What Riley, who had 11 points after making two errors in the first 30 seconds of play.
The Ducks only made one 3-pointer in the first half, then came out with four hits to start the second half. It was part of the 16-2 run that gave them a 46-37 lead.
Peyton Watson and Tyger Campbell he saved 14-4 points with 3-pointers which gave the Bruins a 51-50 lead.
After hitting a nine-point lead early in the half, the Ducks kept a six-point cushion until the Bruins hit four straight times and Clark scored to push for a long-range lead.
UCLA issued a false public outcry at the second game following only 119 coaching relatives and players allowed on the court due to the high number of COVID-19 cases.
"It didn't help," Cronin said of the empty seats, "but I don't believe the reasons."
The Ducks only made two baskets at 8:20 in the last half of the first half, while they followed 35-30 at half-time. UCLA ran 12-0 and 9-0 in the first half, with the Bruins leading nine.
Oregon: The victory was a major boost for the Ducks, who battled the challenges of COVID-19 last week and suspended the game. He came to LA riding on a two-point victory over Oregon State in their competitive game earlier this week. "The whole team is coming and it's fun, it's fun," Richardson said.
UCLA: The Bruins had a lot of chances to win but missed more shots. Bernard was just 3-of-13, Campbell was 3-of-10 and Jaquez was 2-of-6 from the ground. Of those founders, Riley fired a 5-of-6 shot but missed four of the five free kicks.
NO BULLS
Altman did well to score 13-9 against UCLA and has won three times in a row. Ducks follow a regular schedule 39-90. It was Altman's first visit to the Pauley Pavilion since Cronin became UCLA's coach in April 2019.

The Llogara National Park () is a national park centered on the Ceraunian Mountains along the Albanian Riviera in Southwestern Albania, spanning a surface area of . The park's terrain includes large alpine meadows, vertical rock faces, precipices and dense forests. The most area of land is covered by forests and was established in 1966 to protect several ecosystems and biodiversity of national importance. The International Union for Conservation of Nature  (IUCN) has listed the park as Category II. The region has been recognised as an important Bird and Plant Area, because it support significant numbers of various bird and plant species.

The park features outstanding diversity with the landscape ranging from the alpine peaks of the Ceraunian Mountains covered with snow in winter to the sunny Albanian Ionian Sea Coast in summer. At , the Llogara Pass provides a striking scenery, with tall mountains overlooking the Albanian Riviera and several islands in the sea. The region experiences a mediterranean climate. This means that the summers are hot and the winters generally dry to warm to cool.
Despite the vicinity to the mediterranean climatic region, an alpine climate prevails at the Maja e Çikës. Geomorphologically, carbonate rocks occupy most of the area, while the mountains are composed of limestones and dolomites.

Phytogeographically, the park falls within the Illyrian deciduous forests terrestrial ecoregion of the Palearctic Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub biome. Its flora is diverse and characterised with high endemism, due to the combination of southern geographic latitude and high altitude variation. The forests are composed of diverse deciduous and coniferous species among other by bosnian pine, black pine, bulgarian fir, silver fir, ash trees, kermes oak and other species. Air currents that flow through the area have caused trees to bend in many interesting shapes, such as the Pisha e Flamurit. The vertebrate fauna consists of a wide range of species. Among the species of highest conservation value are the griffon vulture, golden eagle, rock partridge, fallow deer, roe deer, european wildcat, chamois, red squirrel, otter, wolf and red fox.

Tourism is the most important sector in the park and has the largest potential to be a source for sustainable income. Along the National Road 8 there are several restaurants, hotels, and a small wooden cabin complex. The area of the park and the surrounding mountains are used mainly for hiking and tracking tours. A paragliding site serving annually as the 9th FAI World Paragliding Accuracy Championship venue is located south of the park. Along the twisting road are several local vendors of honey and mountain tea. Caesar's Pass, named after Julius Caesar who marched down near the area in pursuit of Pompey, is also located nearby the Llogara Pass.

Environment

Geography

The Llogara National Park is strategically located within the Ceraunian Mountains, southeast of Orikum. It lies mostly between latitudes 40° and 12° N and longitudes 19° and 34° E. The park comprises  in Vlorë County in southwestern Albania along the Ionian Sea. The park's elevation vary between  up to  above the Adriatic. Due to the close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the sea has an significant effect on the climate of the region. The park enjoys a mediterranean climate with subtropical influences, with moderate rainy and dry winters and warm to hot summers. Its mean monthly temperature ranges between  in January and  in July. The mean annual precipitation ranges between  and  depending on geographic region and prevailing climate type.

Llogara, a mountain pass that rises to an elevation of  between Maja e Çikës and Maja e Gjipalit, is the watershed between the Adriatic Sea in the north and the Ionian Sea in the south. The pass lies on a tectonic uplift line of two tectonic zones that of Sazan on the southwest and that of Jonike on the northeast. It leads the Dukat Valley to the southern end of Vlora Bay close to Orikum. To the south, the pass is very rugged and steep, falling down into the Ionian Sea, whose coast is only three kilometers away, but more than  below. Moreover, to the south the pass opens and offers impressive views over the Albanian Riviera,
that of Sazani on the southwest and that of
Jonike on the northeast.

Geologically, like most of the mountains in the region, Llogara is made up of carbonic and flysch deposits from the
Mesozoic and Paleozoic period. Rising on the Ceraunian Mountains, the pass separates the mountain chain into two chains, with Reza e Kanalit,  also known as the Akroceraunian Mountains, encompassing the western portion within the Karaburun Peninsula. The highest peaks of the Ceraunian Mountains are Maja e Çikës standing at  and Maja e Qorres standing at  descending towards the Llogara Pass. Reza e Kanalit is about  long and about  wide.

Biodiversity
Like most of the Albanian coast along the Adriatic and Ionian Sea, Llogara belongs to one of the most significant areas of the country, specifically due to climatic conditions and on the other hand due to the topography of this area. Moreover, the park is heavily forested, mainly with pine, oak and fir trees growing on limestone and dolomite.

Bristol Hard Rock Hotel & Casino unveils new 3D model of resort Thursday morning
by: Murry Lee, Kaylyn Kluck
BRISTOL, Va. (WJHL) – Officials with the proposed Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are showing the Bristol, Virginia community a new look at the planned resort.
Officials unveiled the new 3-D model of the casino and hotel.
"To me it's beyond imagination that we could have this come to Bristol," said Jim McGlothlin, a developer for the Hard Rock project.
Before the casino and hotel can be built, it must be approved by a referendum vote on November 3.

Sean Caffery, Senior Vice President of Business & Casino Development for Hard Rock International said construction will cost an excess of $350 million.
"Once you have the construction costs as well, we anticipate another $16-21 million of additional impact directly to the city itself. We've got over 2,000 jobs that are directly related," said Caffery.
McGlothlin called Hard Rock Bristol 'a grand slam.'
"No question about it. It's not a single, it's not a homerun, it's a grand slam," he said.
Hard Rock officials emphasized the development would involve much more than a casino. The 3D model shows a hotel with a rooftop bar and a cabana-flanked resort pool.

On the other side of the property are concert venues for big-name acts.
"We like to have things like Hard Rock Live. That's 3,200 seats of indoor entertainment. With a dual-sided stage that opens up to an amphitheater with capacity for about 20,000," said Caffery.
McGlothlin said the concerts could draw audiences from around the country.
"I mean, Garth Brooks is not coming to Bristol unless we have this entertainment center," he said.
Seven restaurants and four bars are planned, plus retail shops. There will also be areas for sports betting, golf simulators, and a racing facility for children.
"So if your children and you want to come and do the sports experience or lay at the pool, you want to go to dinner with your family, we certainly offer that capability," said Caffery.

Hard Rock executives are confident the former Bristol Mall can be transformed.
"There certainly is, as you look around, some elements that need significant improvement. But we're in the business of transforming properties," Caffery said.
If the project is approved at the November 3rd referendum it will take three to six months to license. It could take over two years to complete construction. Caffery said in the meantime, entertainment and food options could be offered at a temporary facility around 90 to 100 days after the licensing period.

McGlothlin says the project is needed more than ever in wake of the economic downturn from COVID-19. He says visitors will bring business far beyond Hard Rock.
"They'll probably buy new cars. They'll go to the lake and rent boats. They'll go to Barter Theater. They'll go to Bristol's country museum. They'll go to NASCAR races," he said. "It'll just be like having a continuous Rhythm and Roots. Because we'll have something going on here every day."
He hopes the resort will inspire college-aged residents to return to Bristol.
"I hope parents join me in being thankful we can bring back kids to work here. And other businesses will follow this of course," McGlothlin said.
The model will be on display to the public until September 19.

Timur, later Timūr Gurkānī, also known as Amir Timur or Tamerlane ("Timur the Lame"), was a Turco-Mongol Persianate warlord and the founder and the first monarch of the Timurid dynasty. As a military commander, he never lost a battle and is often considered one of the greatest generals and tacticians of all time. At the height of his reign, his empire stretched from modern-day Turkey to India. He was the most powerful ruler of the Muslim world of the time and led successful military campaigns against the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman Empire, and the declining Delhi Sultanate of India. He was also victorious against Russia, the Golden Horde, Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and the Christian Knights Hospitaller. He was the final great nomadic conqueror of the Eurasian Steppe. His empire was the precursor of the more organised and lasting Islamic Gunpowder Empires of the 16th and 17th centuries. Timur believed himself to be the heir of the legacy of Genghis Khan and sought to replicate the latter man's accomplishments through conquests. One of the most brutal conquerors in history, he caused the deaths of millions all over Asia. He was also a prolific patron of art and architecture and held regular interactions with intellectuals and scholars.

According to most contemporary sources, Timur was born in the late 1320s in Kesh, Chagatai Khanate (present-day Shahrisabz, Uzbekistan) to Amir Taraghai and Tekina Khatun. However, later Timurid dynastic histories indicate April 8, 1336, as his birth date.
He was part of a Mongolian tribe called Barlas. His father, some sources claim, was a minor noble of the tribe. Many modern historians hold the view that Timur purposefully understated his father's place in their society, so his achievements would seem more astounding. As a child, Timur led a small group of young raiders who robbed travellers of various goods, including animals.
Around 1363, a shepherd shot him with two arrows while he was attempting to steal a sheep. One arrow hit him in the right leg, while the other went into his right hand. Timur eventually lost two fingers.
Some sources state that he sustained the crippling injuries while he was working as a mercenary for the khan of Sistan in Khorasan. Due to these injuries, he came to be known as Timur the Lame or Tamerlane by Europeans.

Early Military Campaigns
About 1360, Timur garnered some fame as a leader of a war band predominantly comprised of Turkish tribesmen. He participated in campaigns in Transoxiana with the khan of the Chagatai Khanate. As an ally of the Amir Qazaghan, he took part in the invasion of Khorasan.
After Qazaghan was murdered, Timur eventually became the ruler of Transoxiana. Following his father's death, he assumed the leadership of Barlas. In a few short years, he turned the Chagatai Khans into figureheads, administering over a significant portion of land in their name.
Becoming a Ruler
Timur and his brother-in-law, Amir Husayn, began their journey together, as fugitives and co-participants in adventures. Over the years, their relationship deteriorated, and they became rivals and enemies.
Because of his generosity and willingness to share his wealth with the people, Timur accumulated significant following in Balkh. In contrast, Husayn heavily taxed these people and then used the money to build lavish structures. Around 1370, Timur forced the other man to surrender to him. After Husayn's assassination, Timur became the undisputed ruler of Balkh.
Empowered by his Turco-Mongolian heritage, Timur wanted to reign over the Mongol Empire and the Muslim world. He was not a Borjigid or a descendant of Genghis Khan, so he could not proclaim himself a Khan.
He could not be the Caliph either, the supreme leader of the Islamic world, as that title was restricted to the Quraysh, Prophet Muhammad's tribe. Ultimately, he chose Amir, meaning general, as his title and used propaganda to establish himself as the "Sword of Islam".
In the ensuing 35 years, Timur conducted numerous wars and expeditions. His campaign to the west extended his domain to the lands near the Caspian Sea and the banks of the Ural and the Volga. He conquered almost every province in Persia, including Baghdad, Karbala and northern Iraq, in the south and south-west.
One of his most dangerous enemies was Tokhtamysh, the Khan of the Golden Horde. After beginning his career in Timur's court, Tokhtamysh started his dispute with the other man for the control of Khwarizm and Azerbaijan. He was decisively defeated in the Battle of the Terek River in 1395 and was killed in 1406.
A practising Sunni Muslim, Timur waged wars on people of both Shia and Sunni faith on religious grounds. He was especially brutal towards Ismailis and wiped out the Church of the East. Timur proclaimed himself a ghazi following his victory against the Christian Knights Hospitaller at the Siege of Smyrna in 1402.
In 1398, Timur attacked northern India. At the time, much of the region was ruled by Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq. In the battle that took place on December 17, 1398, Timur won an easy victory and went on to capture Delhi.
With Delhi being one of the richest cities of the time, its conquest was one of the greatest successes of Timur. Hundreds of thousands of the captives were executed before the battle of Delhi and while quashing multiple rebellions.
In late 1399, Timur began his campaign against Bayezid I, sultan of the Ottoman Empire, which culminated in the Battle of Ankara on July 20, 1402. Bayezid I was defeated and taken captive. He died a year later. Timur sacked Aleppo and Damascus and also quarrelled with the Mamluk sultan of Egypt, Nasir-ad-Din Faraj.
Family & Personal Life
One of the most prominent consorts of Timur was Turmish Agha, the mother of his heir, Jahangir Mirza. Saray Mulk Khanum, the former widow of Amir Husayn, was the Empress Consort of the Timurid Empire as Timur's chief consort.
He had 41 other consorts, including Tolun Agha, concubine and mother of Umar Shaikh Mirza I; Mengli Agha, concubine and mother of Miran Shah; and Toghay Turkhan Agha, the lady from the Kara Khitai and mother of Shah Rukh.
In his reign, Timur named a successor twice. Both passed away before him. His first heir was Jahangir Mirza, who died in 1376. He then chose his grandson Muhammad Sultan Mirza, who passed away in 1403.
On his deathbed, he picked another grandson, Pir Muhammad Mirza, who failed to secure his throne. Ultimately, Timur's youngest son, Shah Rukh, ascended his father's throne in 1405.
Death & Legacy
Timur generally liked to conduct his battles in the spring. However, he passed away while travelling to begin his campaign against Ming China in winter. He caught an illness while he and his men were camping on the farther side of the Syr Daria. On February 17, 1405, Timur passed away in Otrar, Farab, near Shymkent, Syr Darya (now in Kazakhstan).
Timur left a mixed legacy. Samarkand and the rest of central Asia thrived under his reign, while places like Baghdad, Damascus, and Delhi took generations to fully recover from the effects of his invasions.
Timur's army killed millions and caused unprecedented destructions to economic and cultural centres all over Asia. However, he is hailed as a unifying force in the Muslim world.
After his death, the Timurid dynasty gradually declined. One of his grandsons was Ulugh Beg, astronomer, mathematician, and the sultan of the Timurid empire from 1447 to 1449. Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in the Indian subcontinent, was one of his descendants. In Uzbekistan, Timur is seen as a national hero.

The following article is is the second part of a three part series about macular diseases. Macular Pucker, Macular Hole and Macular Degeneration. These are 3 separate clinical diseases that all affect the macula but have different causes and different treatments.
Patients commonly confuse the three diseases because they all affect the macula. This article will be about Macular Hole.
where there is so much distortion of the macula that a hole develops in the center of the macula.
Not only will the patient have distortion, they will also have a scotoma (missing area) in the center of the vision. Not all macular holes will have a macular pucker.
If one looks an OCT (Optical Coherent Tomography) picture of someone who has a macular hole, retinal tissue the shape of a round hole is missing in the center part of the macula. Like macular pucker, a macular hole affects the macula but it also has nothing to do with macular degeneration. This is also a completely separate disease with different etiologies and treatments. Macular hole is also most commonly idiopathic (etiology is unclear) but can be caused by trauma. It is more common in women and as one gets older. Macular holes in young patients are usually caused by blunt trauma to the eye. Common examples of blunt trauma are a punch to the eye or a sports injury from a soccer or tennis ball.
The treatment for macular hole requires outpatient surgery. In addition to the sutureless surgery called pars plana vitrectomy that is done to remove the vitreous, gas is injected into the entire posterior cavity of the eye. Post-operative facedown positioning is required for about 10 days after surgery in order for gas to pneumatically tamponade the hole closed. Once the hole is closed and the gas reabsorbs, the central vision is restored. When gas is in the eye a patient cannot fly in an airplane, go into high altitudes or receive Nitrous Oxide anesthesia. Many patients are worried about facedown positioning for 10 days. Surprisingly most all patients are very successful at maintaining the correct position. Patient age ranges from their 20's to 90's that all have this procedure done. When a patient knows that the success of vision return relies on their positioning, they tend to do it!
The main complication of macular hole surgery is cataract formation. Most all elderly people will develop a cataract (if it has not already been removed) within a year of the surgery. Retinal detachment is another complication but much less common.
In summary, Macular Holes can be successfully repaired surgically in symptomatic patients.

Roots of Hip Hop
"The Roots and Stylistic Foundations of the Rap Music and Tradition" Hip-Hop as well as many other artistic cultural forms we practice today can be related back to African culture and various traditions. Author of The Roots and Stylistic Foundations of the Rap Music and Tradition, Cheryl Keyes, discuss' the spirit, style, tradition, emotions, culture and the delivery of music.Keyes says that many of these practices can be traced back to the West African Baric Tradition in particular. When asking many old-school, and culturally Involved hip-hop artists about the roots ND origins of rap/help-hop music many of them will refer to Africa.

In our culture hip- hop Is considered a form of art and It Is Important that we know Its origins as It Is easily traced to Africa and African culture. According to the text cultural reversion is the foregrounding of African-centered concepts.Keyes cross references this term to her analysis of the transition of African oral cultures to American soil following slavery by referring to the lifestyles of African slaves in the North and the South, how they were poorly treated and their relationships with Caucasians emerged over the years. Once slavery "ended" blacks were not Instantly free, they could not Just go off and do what they wanted, they had no homes, they had no money and many of them had families so they could not just up and leave especially the women.As a result Africans began to work for white families as this was the only way for them to get by. Through this many cultural traditions were developed and continued post slavery for instance the "Invisible church" where slaves went to secluded places "brush harbors" for praise, worship and storytelling they were called "praise houses" which have now been constructed as churches In modern times post slavery. Most stories during this time were told in a rhyming sequence which has been carried out in rap music from the time it evolved until the present.
Roots of Hip Hop Essay Example
After reading on through the textbook I noted that Keyes has set the pace for many of the articles in the text as they all relate to the West African Baric Tradition (WBT) in some form. One must know his or history in order to have an understanding of what is to come. Later on In the text Iatric Rose discusses the Importance of the relationship between cultural forms and context as many of them have contributed to the development of hip-hop In some fashion. In brief she specifically points out a few cultural forms 'e.Cultural tradition, related current and previous practices as well as the way practice is shaped by technology, economic forces, race, gender, and class. These forms have all contributed to the development In many ways, and have a large impact on the art forms economic and cultural state. In particular the cultural traditions which we can Instantly relate to the WBT as It correlates to hip-hop music and we can Instantly relate that to race, gender, and economic forces due to its male dominance in both hip-hop as well as African culture.
These traditions are what allow the West African Baric Tradition to still exist in society today.Removing cultural forms such as tradition and race would take away the origins and symbolic history from rap music as it means so much to the African and African American culture. In chapter one of the text, Keyes specifically discusses the West African Baric Tradition as It deals with Call and grandfather/grist would sit down all of the immediate children and rap to the beat of the drum. These stories/raps were often being told a form of lesson passed to the children through call and response. For instance, young children are always told by parents "l wish you knew you school work like you know the words to that song. It is often easier for one to interpret a lesson in a fun manner/music which made its easy for the children to comprehend lessons passed from the grist. This is how the Mac's of hip-hop communicate and interacts with their crowds at different performances or concerts, through call and response, "When I say Hey you say Ho, and so on.
" In African culture music is used to teach, uplift spirits and celebrate the drumbeat is set on a two and a four (the pace of a heartbeat). The practice of a drumbeat set on a two ND a four is still used today in hip-hop and many other forms of music.A lot of African and African American creativity and art is a direct action to our oppression. Keyes references two terms in her essay mamma and mono, Mamma Be Kumar La meaning the energy of action is in speech and Mono meaning power of the word. Both the terms mamma and mono have the power to move or persuade in reference to hip-hop culture. The term mamma is somewhat parallel to the idea of crowd interaction in the hip-hop world (ii. Concerts and Interactive performances).
The term mono in reference to persuasion is the use of expression of life's twists and urns through music.Many artist tend to write about personal feelings in which listeners often can relate to, this here is similar to the reasons slaves created the "invisible churches" and discuss oppression throughout their music. While some may say this is controversial there are several who disagree with this because they more than likely are able to relate to the music. As the West African Baric Tradition is passed on today it is the role of the Hip-Hop community to assure that these cultural traditions still exist throughout our music and many art styles.

While I was in LA for the Planes: Fire and Rescue Event we were able to go to DisneyToon Studios and meet with many of the amazing people behind the scenes of the movie. We were able to interview Bobs Gannaway (Director) and Ferrell Barron (Producer), Art Hernandez (head of story) & Lawrence Gong (story artist), Paul Gerard (director, creative development) & Jeff Howard (co-writer), Jason Henkel (casting director) & Paul McGrath (sound engineer), and Toby Wilson (art director).
Today I get to tell you about our interview with Toby and take you on a tour of Piston Peak National Park (where most Planes: Fire and Rescue took place). He starts off by telling us that he gets to design all of the visuals. This is a pretty big job. He gets to direct and design the characters, the world of Fire and Rescue, lighting, effects and all of that.
Inside DisneyToon Studios during our visit.
Yosemite and Yellowstone were the two parks the film was based on. They used Yosemite Valley as the main design, but they also had Gasket Geyser (based on Old Faithful), and that is pulling in from Yellowstone. They have Arches (whoo, this is close to where I grew up) in there as well, and a couple of other places.
They made really cool 1920's vintage designs to make posters to get some design ideas. It helped them figure out what attractions they wanted in the park – like Gasket Geyser (blows a gasket every hour on the hour) lol, the moonlight tours, the Piston Peak Railroad (Railway). Augerin Canyon with the Arches, and many more.
He told us that there are 2.5 million pine trees in the park. Each tree is individually designed because the planes have to fly over them and they each catch on fire. The park is two miles wide. If you drive it is 16 miles from the Northern tip to the Southern tip, and if you fly it is 10 miles from North to South (as the crow flies) so 16 square miles of just the park. The National Forrest Wildlife Reserve (where the Sequoya's were when Dusty was flying into the park). And adjacent to the park is the air attack basin.
All of the foliage is indigenous to the pacific northwest. Mansinitas, buckthorns, Ponderosa's, etc. He wanted to share with us some fun facts about the movie that helped make it a "Vehicle Motif" for the Planes world.
If you take the bark of a pine tree and mix it with the tread of a tire – you get the "Tire Tread Bark" that is all of the Pine Trees.
The Catty Pink Taillights, Purple turbines with the little propellers, and yellow radiator fans are sprinkled throughout the park.
Fire danger is high – so pine needles and dead pine trees everywhere.
Upper Whitewall Falls – Modeled after Bridal Veil Falls.
Air Attack Base (The northern part is modeled after the Yosemite Ranger Village).
When they first started the film, John Lasseter told Bobs Gannoway to make it a park for all vehicles. The Grand Fusel Lodge is a vehicle epicenter. Its a working airport, its a train depot, and all roads flow into it and through it. They wanted it to give you a sense of awe just like you would when you go into the Old Faithful Lodge. There are many extras like the spring loaded garage doors on the rooms, and the double yellow lines on the floor.
Ol' Jammer is a ranger. The luggage rack tarp to mimic a ranger hat. The window frames look like old steel glasses, and him and Teddy (the Secretary of Interior) both have car grills that are made to look like a mustache.
They take a vehicle aspect and try to give it some character.
On Harvey's spare tire cover – they have been to every state in the country except Oklahoma. The reason for this is because Bobs Gannoway (the director) is from Oklahoma. Pulaski was made after the cool yellow fire engine they saw at Yellowstone. There is a E-64 on Pulaski – that is a tilt of the hat to Redondo Beach Fire Department since they were such a big help in the research.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a federal program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that issues flood insurance, creates Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and seeks to reduce flood hazards through flood mitigation.
Where are the Flood Insurance Policies in the US?
Only 390 counties in the US hold about 90% of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance policies.
To put that in perspective, there are about 3,144 county and county equivalent areas in the US. Therefore, about 12% of the counties hold about 90% of the flood insurance policies. And there are about 169 million people living in those counties, which is 54% of the US population.
