![]() They’re a lot like the showers in international airport lounges, complete with fresh towels (you have to bring your own towels to RV park showers). Nicer than even the most luxurious RV park. ![]() Taking a shower with all those truckers?! It turns out that trucker showers are about the nicest you’ll find on the road. I was talking with someone about truck stop showers and she was appalled. I read on a trucker message board that they’re totally legit, with one guy providing the evidence that he only gets offered something extra about every 1 in 10 times. Truckers driving all day long surely have aching backs. On the one hand, the idea totally makes sense. Fortunately, my Roadtrek can park anywhere, so I can just pull into a quiet spot and I’m set for the night. When I’ve asked the clerk about overnight parking (which unlike at Walmarts and Cracker Barrels, you really don’t have to do), the refrain has always been the same: don’t block the lanes where the trucks need to drive, don’t park in one of their spots. The biggest rule is to stay out of the way of the trucks. Truck stops are definitely better than Walmart parking lots because you wake up to freshly brewed coffee (10 cents off with your Good Sam card!). įor full-time RVers, not just heading out camping for the weekend, a truck stop can be better than an RV park: free parking, easier to get to, and all the amenities except maybe a view of the lake. They have everything: showers, laundry rooms, hair salons, massage therapists, churches. Truck stops have rebranded themselves in recent years to the friendlier “travel plazas”. Truck drivers in person were large and loud and possibly a little bit dangerous. Did anyone have their ears on?īut in person? That was another story. In my stepdad’s more magnanimous moments, we sometimes joined in. In the heydey of CB radios, we learned their secret language. But they had these secret rooms in the back: diners, stores, entirely different gas stations where only truckers were allowed.įar away, truckers were our friends: honking at us as we made the universal “please honk your trucking horn at us” motion from the back window of the car. They looked OK at first: like a normal gas station or convenience store. So many plastic horses, feathered wind chimes, and elaborate key chains that no one would buy me. The Stuckey’s stops were exercises in disappointment. The map of America in my mind was filled with Travelodges (and its inexplicable logo of a sleepwalking bear), truck stops, and the occasional Stuckey’s. Whether we were moving halfway across the country (yearly) or driving to see my grandparents (holidays and summers), my parents had the unwavering goal of getting there as fast as possible. My childhood was filled with moments of passing right by a Live Buffalo I could Pet and a Real Teepee I could Explore. ![]() magic, magic, game, animation png 2000x2000px 2.01MB.Child Lawn Thought Doodle Family, monster leaf, child, leaf, grass png 1266x1024px 2.67MB.Wyvern Dragon Drawing Doodle Legendary creature, dragon, heart, fictional Character, feather png 894x894px 615.59KB.Drawing Doodle Art Idea, others, legendary Creature, mammal, food png 700x700px 385.82KB.graphy Drawing Doodle, Some Kind Of Monster, cartoon, painting, art png 650x548px 416.88KB.Dog Badge Toy Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Baby Octopus Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Shark Sea Patrol: Pups Save the Pier Sea Patrol: Pirate Pups to the Rescue Part 1, tags, emblem, animals, logo png 768x768px 429.88KB.Painting, Terraria, Video Games, Golem, Dota 2, Drawing, Monster, Granite, Terraria, Video Games, Golem png 1035x1052px 418.42KB.T-shirt Monster Drawing Illustration, Creative hand-painted little monsters., watercolor Painting, hand, poster png 800x1094px 1.17MB.Doodle Drawing Painting Sketch, painting, marine Mammal, food, pencil png 555x555px 289.61KB.Tattoo Cartoon Monster Illustration, Hand-painted monster, love, watercolor Painting, white png 500圆24px 159.44KB.Drawing Doodle Pencil Art, pencil, watercolor Painting, pencil, pin png 700x700px 505.09KB.Monster Doodles Drawing, others, angle, mammal, text png 1218x892px 718.62KB.Doodle Drawing Art, doodle, text, logo, monochrome png 1226x919px 390.97KB.Pikachu Haunter Drawing Pokxe9mon Art, Tongue purple monster, purple, mammal, cat Like Mammal png 697x707px 67.28KB.Yusei Fudo Yu-Gi-Oh!

The hydrolysates of kombucha cellulose and the intact kombucha cellulose were used to make deep-fried donuts. The water-holding capacity of the kombucha cellulose hydrolysates formed by these two methods was higher than for the intact kombucha cellulose, while the oil-holding capacity was lower. To evaluate the efficiency of the oil-reducing properties of kombucha cellulose, enzymolysis and microwave-assisted enzymolysis methods were developed. Thus, this study focuses on a pertinent theme and alerts to the need for legislation for these products, to draw attention to the inexistent legislative control and the consequent need for regulatory guidelines for better and safer production and consumption. ![]() Likewise, it is important to spread awareness among the population of these products and their impacts on people's health. Thus, it is essential to highlight the potential value of this product and invest in its development and marketing. The lack of regulation and the low level of literacy about this product can limit its development, marketing, and impact on health. The study intends to draw attention to the need for regulatory guidelines and the potential of this product in the market and peoples' health. However, it needs regulatory guidelines to control the production and guarantee the product's efficacy and safety. This natural product has been developed to improve or promote physical and mental health. Legislative efforts about these products remain confusing and without global harmonization. Kombucha is an increasingly consumed product classified as a nutraceutical. This review paper aims to provide the current market status of kombucha and to show a need for scientific sensory and consumer research studies to help the kombucha researchers and industry working on this fast-growing beverage. Even with the sensory characteristics of kombucha being a critical aspect of the beverage, there are not many publications covering the sensory and consumer research on this beverage. There are several already published in-depth scientific reviews covering these topics. The topics of kombucha research can be grouped into the substrate used in fermentation, the microbial composition of the cultures, processing methods, chemical composition, the health benefits and health risks associated with consumption, the utilization of symbiotic cultures of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBYs), etc. The scientific research on kombucha also got active along with the growth in the market.

Amazon launched its Prime Video subscription service at around the same time and has been a heavy spender, as it looks to replicable Netflix’s performance in awards.ĭisney also launched its own streaming service in November 2019, and several American cable services have launched their own in 2020, such as HBO Max, Peacock and Showtime. Netflix, it is fair to say, has profoundly done this.Īs Netflix has grown in revenue and subscribers, it has enticed others to copy its formula. Netflix earned more nominations at the 2020 Oscars than any other film studio.īut in terms of awards, the first Emmy Netflix ever won, in 2012, is perhaps the most illustrative: an Emmy Engineering Award, given to individuals or organisations that have profoundly changed the way we watch television. Netflix has also distributed several noteworthy films, including Beasts of No Nation, Marriage Story, Roma and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. Netflix started to pick up awards for its TV shows, surpassing HBO in 2018 for the amount of Emmy nominations. In 2012, Netflix also upped the ante with its own programming, which started with Lilyhammer but was boosted heavily by House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, two of the company’s most watched TV shows. Today, only citizens in North Korea, Syria, China and Crimea are denied the binge-watching pleasures of the streaming service. It took a few years for the streaming service to make inroads, but once it did Netflix pivoted to a platform only approach, canning the DVD-rental service and launching Netflix worldwide. It wouldn’t be until 2007 that it rolled out its video streaming service, which separated Netflix from Blockbuster and many of the other DVD-rental services which went out of business in the 2010s.

The 39-year-old fisherman, identified as Nate Iszac, recently shared the images of the mysterious creature on Facebook. Jackie Hildering is a biologist, avid scuba diver, and marine educator who lives in Port McNeill.A bizarre snake-like sea creature, which was caught by a fisherman in the Alaskan waters earlier this month, has been dubbed a "real life sea monster" on social media. They invest in durable relationships and they are only as strange looking as we terrestrial bipeds would appear to them. It is a homebody that likes crunchy snacks and prefers that they come right by the front door they are great parents and are docile unless fighting for home or partner. ![]() The wolf eel is indeed akin to us in so many ways. The males do compete for females who will sometimes opt to swap dens and go live with the competitor. Sound like any other species you know? Wonder if it happens at mid-life? It was long thought that wolf-eels always mate for life but, this is not always the case. One juvenile is even known to have travelled a minimum of 1,000 km having been tagged in Port Hardy, B.C., and found back in Willapa Bay, Washington two years later. The juveniles do not settle into the adult sedentary lifestyle until around age two. This mass does not need to adhere to anything because the parents will take turns wrapping their tails around the mass, holding and turning it for good aeration until the +/- 3.5 cm young hatch some three months after fertilization. He then wraps around her to fertilize the 10,000 or more white to yellow eggs that she will mould into a ball shape. Mating apparently most often occurs between October and December, with the female releasing eggs after the male prods against her swollen abdomen. Having a long tail also allows them to den-up, curling up and around in narrow spaces between rocks and. The long tail serves in locomotion, powering them forward with big, slow, s-shaped waves while being stabilized with the long dorsal and pectoral fins (see video below). They are the only member of their family that have this body shape. ![]() This is likely another driver for the male’s having such fleshy heads - they are better able to survive the wounds inflicted by such battles.Īnother unique feature about this species is their eel-like body. They do also sometimes need to do battle for den space with a giant Pacific octopus. The mature males do carry battle wounds supporting the idea they don’t just hang out in dens waiting for a snack to come by, but rather that they will occasionally duke it out with other male wolf-eels. I found one account from 1959 where a commercial fisherman was bitten and “The teeth penetrated the hip-waders and broke the skin on both sides of the ankle.” Not surprisingly, wolf eels might also be defensive when accidentally caught by anglers. There is no legal fishery for this species but there is a demand for them in the Asian market, which is why there are also attempts to farm wolf-fish i.e. It also makes them tragically easy targets for any spear diver wanting to poach them. That’s where accidents can happen and where the wild behaviour that lets animals survive, becomes compromised. Some divers choose to feed them, leading to the wolf-eels associating us with food. Each wolf-eel has a unique pattern of black spots near its eyes. It is not just their address that makes they recognizable as individuals. Wolf eels spend a great deal of time on the ocean bottom in dens where, as divers, we have the enormous privilege of visiting the same spot and seeing the same individuals for years. To my knowledge there has never been an attack on a diver UNLESS, and here comes the predictable thing, we choose to habituate them. They also feed on other hard-shelled animals like shellfish and crabs.Įven the roofs of wolf-eels’ mouths are impenetrable with ossified, tooth-like projections. Yes, the mature males have very large, fleshy, ossified heads and the species has sharp teeth but this is so they can do what so few marine species can - they can feed on spiny sea urchins, snapping them effortlessly into pieces without suffering a single puncture. They are reclusive, anything but ferocious, quite sedentary and slow moving. ![]() The wolf-eel (Anarrhichythys ocellatus), which can be as long as 2.4 metres, is not an eel. I hope to make this point by sharing with you why the wolf-eel is “designed” as it is and how very wrong many of us are in our perceptions about this species. If the features of an animal appear foreign to you, it is because it fulfils a role in Nature that is truly awe-inspiring possibly even beyond your imaginings. There is no ugly in Nature – only perfection. Such is the way when there is misunderstanding and disrespect for something you love. It hurts when people say this about wolf-eels.
