It added that Eleanor had been travelling in south-east Asia since January as part of a gap year. It said: “We hope that the Malaysian authorities deal with the misdemeanour and not link it to the unfortunate tragic events that occurred the following week.” The family statement repeats a plea for clemency that Tim Hawkins made to the Malaysian authorities in an interview with the Guardian on Wednesday. It has been reported that Sabah’s indigenous Kadazan Dusun people believed the tourists’ behaviour angered the spirit of the mountain and was the reason for a magnitude 5.9 earthquake which six days later struck near the mountain, killing 18 climbers. Officials in Sabah state, in the northern half of the island of Borneo, accused the tourists of showing “disrespect to the sacred mountain”. His statement added: “She has never been in any sort of trouble before.” The British woman’s father, Tim Hawkins, said: “She knows what she did was stupid and disrespectful and is very sorry for the offence that she has caused the Malaysian people.” The New Straits Times had said he was arrested on Wednesday, but its report has since been amended to make clear that he is not in custody.Įleanor Hawkins appeared in court on Wednesday It is unclear whether Kaminski was actually involved in the stunt, or is seeking to profit from its notoriety. ![]() “Jesus Christ people, it’s just a fucking mountain,” he said, before reading out some of the insults he had received in response to an earlier post about the affair. “To say something that fucking stupid you really need to have lobotomised yourself on a piece of heavy machinery,” Kaminski said. The travel blogger posted a video in which he criticised officials for linking the stunt and the earthquake. The New Straits Times reports he is facing charges of indecent exposure and insulting the local culture and people through social media postings. It has been speculated that self-styled “perpetual backpacker” Emil Kaminski, 33, led the group of tourists up the mountain.

Sign up here.Harvest is the ideal time for people to think about the reality for those living in poverty. “For every box we deliver, we help fight food insecurity through a few different programs, like subsidized boxes, donations, and low-cost farmers markets,” says Lutz. The mission: In addition to fighting food waste, Hungry Harvest is focused on giving back. You can also choose to get a harvest delivered every week or every other week. You can pay extra to get an organic version of each size. Here’s a side by side.ĭetails: The mini harvest (left) costs $15 and would have been plenty of produce for one person. I ordered a mini harvest and a full harvest so that I could compare the difference.

Here’s what was included in my harvest:Īdditional items: I also ordered a “mystery herb” bundle and a can of cold brew from the marketplace. I was worried about getting exotic produce that I would have no idea how to prepare, but my box came filled with things I already like to eat. You can also specify things that you love. Picky eaters: you can add things to your “never” list, meaning you’ll never get it in your harvest. Thanks to a malfunctioning building call box, my delivery person had to wait outside on a not-so-nice day in order to make sure my harvest got to me safe and sound. It’s easy. Placing your order is just like any other online shopping experience – add your harvest and any à la carte items to your cart, and checkout.Offerings vary every week, though, so a grocery run could help fill in the gaps. It could almost replace your grocery shopping. Thanks to the à la carte marketplace, you can get pantry staples like bread, eggs and canned goods along with specialty items like coffee and snacks.For just $15, you can get a “mini harvest” that will probably be plenty of produce for one (or even two) people. Fast forward nearly seven years and you can now get a harvest of recovered produce shipped to your door. It quickly caught on, and soon they had 500 customers a week showing up outside Lutz’s dorm for a box. The solution: Lutz started selling boxes of produce ($5 for 5 pounds) that he recovered from a local farmer. A lot of that is before it ever reaches the retail store and the consumer, and this produce is perfectly good and deserves to get distributed,” says Lutz. “About 40% of everything we grow in the United States actually goes to waste. “I first learned about the food system and the inefficiencies with it when I was a senior in college at the University of Maryland,” explains Evan Lutz, founder and CEO of Hungry Harvest. Like many great ideas, the company got its start in a college student’s basement. Hungry Harvest works with producers up and down the East Coast to deliver boxes of produce and other perishables, that would otherwise go to waste, right to your doorstep.

Principally armed with two Tronel XIII Large Pulse Lasers mounted in place of its right arm actuator, the Gallant also carried a large Skobel Drotnik MRM-20 launcher in its left torso supported by an ammo efficient Hovertec Streak SRM-2 rack in its right, each launcher allotted a single ton of ammunition placed in their respective side torso location. Originally conceived with a different weapons array, the prototype Gallant's weapon package was reworked at the eleventh hour to enhance its effectiveness against combined-arms formations and was retained when it entered full production. Mounting thirteen tons of standard Pribak 9000 plating and equipped with fourteen Double Heat Sinks, the Gallant boasted respectable field endurance. ![]() īuilt using an XL fusion engine to devote weight to weapons rather than speed, for the Gallant's envisioned cavalry role it was equipped with five Waterly Heavy Lifter Improved Jump Jets to more easily handle mountainous and urban terrain. After the formation of the Republic of the Sphere, the Gallant's design specification were also exported to the Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns as a token of thanks for worlds that were given to help form the Republic. One of the many haphazard prototype 'Mech designs the increasingly desperate Blakists threw into battle against Stone's Coalition, the Coalition's capture of the design specs and Skobel's partial production line at Moscow for the Gallant allowed them to refine and fully develop the design to help fill the desperate need for BattleMechs after the Jihad. After the Word of Blake's fall, the Republic of the Sphere refined and continued to manufacture the BattleMech, while also providing its schematics to the Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns. He is the first character to be killed in the series.First appearing as an ad hoc and incomplete design during the last days of the Word of Blake's defense of Terra, the Gallant was a broken-terrain cavalry BattleMech.Gallant collapses to the ground and dies from his wounds. As the rest of Gallantpride join the battle, the two lions back off. Swift fights Titan along with two other lionesses, but they are beaten back by his cronies. Swift tries to help Gallant, but she is stopped by Titan. However, Gallant's victory is short-lived when Titan's two cronies attack him, breaking the rules, as the duel for leadership is supposed to be a one-on-one match. Gallantpride watches their leader battle Titan and emerge victorious. When Titan challenges Gallant to a duel, he accepts. Gallant knows that Titan has come to Gallantpride's territory to challenge him for leadership. Swift remarks that Titan has grown a fine mane, but has always been brutal. Titan was the son of the lion Gallant drove out some time ago and hates him for that reason. Gallant recognizes the foreign lions as Titan and his friends, one of which is named Cunning. Gallant goes to see what is happening, accompanied by his family. Gallant names Swiftcub "Fearless" for his act of bravery.įearless's naming ceremony is interrupted by a trio of prideless lions. Swift scolds Swiftcub for his reckless behavior, but she and Gallant are also proud of their son's bravery at the same time and decided that Swiftcub as come to the age where he should receive his name. Swift carries Swiftcub back to Gallant and Valor. Gallant tries to stop Swiftcub from putting himself at risk, but he ignores Gallant's pleas. Swiftcub spots the scorpion and attacks it to save his father. Gallant reassures Swiftcub that he will and reminds him that Valor is a year older than he is and must be patient as he is growing big and faster every day.Ī scorpion then sneaks up on Gallant. Gallant gives out a rumble of laughter, telling Valor she made a good attempt, while Swiftcub complains that he wasn't anywhere near the meerkat and will never be as quick as Valor. Valor curses after she fails to catch a meerkat. Gallant watches his mate, Swift, teach their cubs, Valor and Swiftcub, to hunt. This unknown lion was driven out by Gallant, and was later revealed to be Titan's father. Sometime before the events of Broken Pride, an unknown male lion challenged Gallant for leadership and lost. Although, like all lions neither he nor his pride followed the Great Mother, they respected their traditions and didn't forget an act of honor. He was also one of the least arrogant lions in the series. He cared deeply for his family and pride and did not let power go to his head. Gallant was a brave and benevolent leader of Gallantpride. Gallant had a black mane, a tawny muzzle, and sleek golden fur. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no reason that us, the backers, should be hit with those fees, because it will just discourage future backing of foreign projects.

We’ll cover everything from tips for at-home appraisal to what to do when you can’t figure out a record’s value on your own. In this post, we’ll walk you through the basic steps you can take to determine the value of a vinyl record. It’s often tough to know where an LP in your collection ranks in these categories. Plenty of factors can come into play when you’re appraising the value of vinyl records, including age, rarity, condition, and more. You may be staring at Bleach from Nirvana, or a record from Frank Wilson or Elvis Presley, without any idea what it actually might be worth. The rating reflects sound quality, so a mint album will sound and look nearly the same as when it was new.Whether you’re a longtime vinyl enthusiast or new to collecting LPs, it can be difficult to determine how much a record is worth. Vinyl albums are rated as follows: Mint, Very good plus, Very good, Good plus, Good, Fair, and Poor. Since records in the 45 format are rarely produced, it's an additional reason for being collectible. The commercial "That's All Right" single by Sun Records for the then-unknown Elvis Presley is a highly sought-after 45 vinyl. Earlier examples of a specific genre can be rare and appreciated as a historical artifact. Some musical acts remain admired and in demand.Īmong music aficionados, albums with a cultural context may be valuable. Like fashion, past musical stylings such as disco can become admired long after they hit their peak. For example, Tommy Johnson's blues '78 record called "Alcohol and Jake Blues" is a collectible item because only three copies are known to exist. Vinyl records are considered rare if only a limited number were ever made or contain unique material. These factors are rarity, demand, and history. Several factors determine if an album is collectible. Store vinyls in a dry place at room temperature. Use polyethylene sleeves to protect the album cover and disc. Do not store them horizontally one of top of the other. ![]() Stack albums vertically or upright on their edges. Brush a carbon fiber or a soft microfiber cloth over the playing area. Records should be cleaned before and after they are played. Use two hands when placing a record on the turntable. Hold a record by placing your thumb on the record's edge and place the rest of your fingers upon the center label. The dark areas of the record contains the audio tracks. How are vinyl music records cleaned and preserved? ![]() Attach powered speakers to the player, place your record on the turntable, and position the needle at the outer edge of the album. A record player has a turntable and a stylus with a needle on one end. The vinyl collectible market remains healthy. Vinyl albums continue to be issued by some artists. They were the preferred sound source until compact discs became more prevalent. The record format was commercially available in the 1920s. Some albums are renowned for their included album art. A vinyl record is a music disc with spiral grooves from the edge to the center and stores analog sound. ![]() |
