Actually, the day after my Billboard Live Osaka, I went to a place called "Sakuya Konohana Kan"🌺🌻🌼Ever since I found out about this botanical garden, I wanted to go there someday!! A tremendous number of plants beyond my imagination! It was truly the best experience...!! ️ There's a greenhouse which is said to be the largest in all of Japan, all the plants there looked really lively and wonderful🎉 I have many more photos so I will be posting them at a later date🥰 On the way back I took a walk through the park outside and headed to the next destination🎶←Please stay tuned!! ️🐟🐢🐧🐬🦈

The wind felt good during my walk but it was still too hot! ️😂 It seems like there are many more wonderful places in the park but I didn't have enough time to see them all... 🥺🥺 Next time for sure!! ️

Sakuya Konohana Kan Part ③ 🥳🎉 A special "Carnivorous Plant Exhibition" was being held so I saw a lot of tropical pitcher plants and got caught in a Venus flytrap🧐. I really like tropical pitcher plants but from my experience, they end up dying in autumn and winter. After all, it is difficult unless you have a greenhouse that is warm all year round😓 Outside, in Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park, I found a manhole with the mascot character of the Flower Expo, Hanazukin-chan!!🧐 The inside and outside of Sakuya Konohana Kan were truly wonderful😍💕 I will definitely come again!! ️!!(Source)

Summary: Disastrous weather strikes, and Happy and ____________ are snowed in at their place before a Stark convention. Who's to the rescue?

Word Count: 1,067

Current Date: 2023-01-18

To everyone but Tony Stark, hosting the latest expo at a fancy snow village in the north island of Japan was absurd. It took hours of flights, tight squeezes, jetlag, fumbling essential documents and sleep deprivation, but it was over. You stood in the doorway of your cottage for the fortnight, eyelids heavy, sliding suitcase heavier.

“I know you’re dead on your feet, but if you don’t move into the cabin, you’ll let all the hot air out,” Your husband’s voice came from behind you.

He’s right, and the warmth from the wood oven is heavenly. So, you shuffle in and shuck off your snowshoes as Happy dumps his duffle onto the chair by the door. Your hand finds the light switch for the main room, and all at once, you’re blinking, taking in the rustic charm of the place.

“I’m almost afraid to go into the bedroom and find a little girl who ate our porridge,” Happy snarks, eyeing the door beside the kitchenette.

“It’s perfect,” you mumble. “…I’ll unpack in the morning.”

“We could have been here hours ago if we took the jet.”

“Coach is perfectly fine, Happy.” You almost trip on the split-level floor between the entrance and the main room but steady yourself. “The ozone doesn’t….”

“I know, I know,” Happy takes your elbow, and together, you make your way into the bedroom. It’s a queen mattress, smaller than yours at home, but the sheets are a white woven pattern that feels soft against your skin. You strip your bottoms off and crawl under the sheets, otherwise fully dressed. “Don’t you want to take off your –”

“Too tired.”

He makes a noise of ascent as you snuggle into your pillow, and for a second, you hear his footsteps tap away. “Harold…” you murmur. “It’s almost midnight. Lay with me.”

“I’ve got work to do,” he says.

It’s almost sunrise when you feel the bed dip on the other side, and you feel his hands cradle your face gently as he places a kiss beside your nose. You fade back into your dreams, now with the comfort of another within reach.

---

The alarm goes off, but you don’t reach your phone in time to neutralise it. Bright white sunlight streams into the room, and blinking, you remember you’re not in your apartment in southern California. The house is pleasantly warm. You pad into the main room, take the spare blanket from the end of the bed, and make your way to the kitchenette. There’s no kettle, so you start to boil water on the stove for coffee. The view from the window above the sink is gorgeous. No houses are on this side of the building, just deciduous trees full of white and a snow-capped mountain in the distance.

Whoever stocked the cabin before you came is now your favourite person because the fridge has all milk known to humankind and some and a half loaf of pre-cut bread too. The coffee-making process goes well, and soon, two mugs of piping hot joe are in your hands as you make your way back to bed.

“Hmm?” Happy stirs at the smell of his cup on the bedside nightstand. “Oh, you’re a goddamned angel.”

“That’s me,” you smile.

Then the alarm goes off again, automatically snoozed from its previous iteration. As you quiet it, you notice the wall-to-wall notifications from your husband’s boss’s assistant. You pass the phone to Happy, who accepts it mid-gulp.

“Is your phone flat?”

He nods, scrolling through the texts and missed calls. It might be your phone, but it’s Stark Enterprises data, and you’re in no need to learn their trade secrets off their payroll. The lawsuits, let alone, what it would mean for you as an Avenger, would be hell on earth. But it seems Happy is there right now, by the colour of his face. You take his cup from him as he starts to hurry off the bed into the main room to delve into his duffle.

“Honey?”

“The main vendor has pulled out, the workers for the set up are on strike, and to top it all off –” He shouts from the other room, half a leg in his suit pant and hopping to put the other on, “and all this snow has stopped everything!”

“That’s…that’s a lot.” You place the cups on the floor by the bed and start to walk over to him. “Pepper can’t be expecting you to change the weather, Harold.”

“I need to try,” he shoves on his snow boots and swings open the front door. “Sit tight, hon. I need to –” There’s no way he’s leaving the cabin. The snow has drifted onto the porch, rising to his eye level. “Crap.”

You take the phone from him and close the door. It seems you might need to suit up, after all. “Get the laptop and start a video call. I’ll contact Stark.”

He melts a little and kisses your neck. “God, I love it when you’re bossy.”

Soon enough, you have your fellow Avenger on the phone. Stark has a tiny espresso in hand and a pen in the other, taking notes. “You know, I’m glad you’re in my entourage, ___________; what would I do without you?”

“Wither away?” You cock an eyebrow. “I’m yours.”

It takes forty minutes, two more cups of coffee, and payback from a friend of Tony’s friend, but it’s sorted. The main vendor has been replaced and paid handsomely for the short notice, the construction workers have been paid in advance, and Tony has his old Iron suits on autopilot, working with the local council to shovel the snow. Throughout this process, Happy has been pacing the cabin.

“I can send one to your place to get you out from there,” Tony offers.

You shrug. “You can…give me an hour.” You put your coffee down. “I’ve got something I need to do first.” You can see the corner of his lips turn up, words about to come through the video call, but you close the session and the laptop. He was one hell of a cheeky bastard, always trying to get the last word. “Happy? It’s done.”

He approaches the doorway. “My saviour,” he exhales sarcastically, but you know he means it. “How can I ever repay you?”

You cast the laptop aside and beckon him. “We’re on vacation. Let’s enjoy ourselves.”

Concrete Admixtures Market — Forecast(2024–2030)

Concrete Admixtures Market Overview:

Concrete Admixtures Market size is estimated to reach US$26.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period 2024–2030. Surge in infrastructure constructions and repairs are driving the demand for Concrete Admixtures. This trend is expected to boost the growth of the Concrete Admixtures Market during the forecast period.

Additionally, there is a growing demand for green buildings as green building practices play a key role in achieving sustainability in the construction industry. The construction sector has the highest potential for delivering significant and cost-effective greenhouse gas emission reductions, according to the UN Environment Programme. This boosts the Concrete Admixtures industry outlook during the forecast period.

Sample Report:

COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis — Impact Analysis:

The construction industry has seen many ups and downs throughout the pandemic. Construction came to a complete standstill due to lockdown measures and stay at home mandates. After the initial lockdown when economic activities were allowed, the construction industry still faced challenges in the form of supply chain disruptions and operational constraints. Some building-materials supply chains have also been interrupted, suspending production and distribution. This in turn has also affected the Concrete Admixtures market.

The Russia-Ukraine war has introduced uncertainties in global markets, affecting various industries, including the construction sector. Concrete Admixtures are subject to price volatility due to various factors such as energy prices, transportation costs, and currency exchange rates. Economic instability and geopolitical tensions have led to fluctuations in concrete admixture prices, potentially impacting the cost of construction. The war’s broader economic repercussions may influence investment decisions and government policies, shaping the trajectory of the Concrete Admixtures market.

Inquiry Before Buying:

Key Takeaways:

Geographically, in the Concrete Admixtures market share, the Asia Pacific region is analyzed to hold a dominant market share of 42% in 2023 owing to the owing to the construction boom in the region. China’s construction sector is expanding rapidly. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s construction output is estimated to be worth approximately US$4.9 trillion in 2022, up by 3.8% over 2021. China plans to invest US$1.43 trillion in key construction projects as part of its 14th five-year plan. As per the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Shanghai plans calls for a total investment of US$38.7 billion over the next three years. The Japanese construction industry is expected to boom as the World Expo will be hosted in Osaka, Japan in 2025. Such developments boost the Construction Chemicals Market size in the region.

High Range Water Reducing is the Fastest Growing Segment

In the Concrete Admixtures Market forecast, the phosphonate segment is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. High range water reducing concrete admixtures are also called as superplasticizers. They help in reducing water content by 12 to 30% and can be added to concrete with a low-to-normal slump and water-cement ratio to make high-slump flowing concrete. The use of superplasticizers produces high strength concrete (strength up to 22,000 psi). Superplasticizers can also be utilized in producing flowing concrete which can be used in a heavy reinforced structure with inaccessible areas. Another benefit of superplasticizer is that, it helps in initial setting time and can be accelerated or retarded, up/down to an hour earlier or later according to its chemical reaction. Thus, the growing demand for superplasticizers is expected to drive the demand for concrete admixtures.

Schedule A Call :

Residential Construction to Hold Largest Market Share

According to the Concrete Admixtures Market analysis, the residential segment is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2023. Construction spending on buildings is projected to increase just over 6% in 2023, according to the mid-year update of the American Institute of Architect’s AIA Consensus Construction Forecast. The demand for apartments, condos and townhomes is high as single-family homes have become more expensive and less available due to lack of space. As per a report from the U.S. Commerce Department, homebuilding increased in August 2022 as rising rents boosted the construction of multi-family housing to the highest level in more than 36 years. The number of apartments under construction (890,000 residents in 2-plus unit properties) as of September 2022 is at the highest level since the first quarter of 1974, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

Surge in Infrastructure Construction

Infrastructure is the backbone of the economy. Access to quality infrastructure expands economic opportunities. Infrastructure needs to be maintained as it can degrade overtime. Apart from building new infrastructure, maintenance and repair of existing infrastructure are also of high importance. Some 20% or 173,000 miles of the United States’ highways and major roads are in poor condition, as are 45,000 bridges, according to the White House. The Mega grant program, created by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, funds projects that are too large for traditional funding programs, which include highway, bridge, freight, port, passenger rail, and public transportation projects. The Mega program will invest a total of $5 billion through 2026 to help rebuild the United States’ infrastructure. Peru is improving its transportation infrastructure. The Lima Metro Line 2 project, with an estimated cost of US$5.8 billion, is one of the largest infrastructure projects ever undertaken in Peru and is scheduled for completion in 2024. The surge in infrastructure construction drives the Concrete Admixtures market size during the forecast period.

Rising Need for Green Buildings

A green building is a building that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminates negative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on the climate and natural environment. For construction of a green building, materials that are non-toxic and sustainable are used. Admixtures enable the optimization of concrete mix designs, allowing for the use of locally available materials and reducing the reliance on scarce or non-renewable resources. This contributes to sustainable sourcing practices in green construction. Apart from adding more strength to the buildings, these admixtures bring down the volume of water and cement used in the construction process According to the Indian Green Building Council, the energy savings from green buildings could range from 20–30% and water savings around 30–50%. Hence with the growing interest in green buildings, the Concrete Admixtures industry is also expected to grow.

Compatibility Issues to Impede to Market growth

Different admixtures may have chemical interactions with components like cement, aggregates, or other admixtures. These interactions can lead to undesirable effects, such as reduced effectiveness, altered setting times, or compromised concrete performance. Admixtures, if not compatible, can impact the setting time of concrete. Accelerators or retarders, for example, may interfere with each other, leading to unpredictable changes in the concrete’s early or final setting times. Incompatible admixtures might compromise the strength development and overall durability of concrete. This can affect the long-term performance and structural integrity of the construction. This might prove to be a challenge for the concrete admixture construction chemical market.

An international coalition of environmental groups dropped banners and blockaded roads to protest the International Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels on Thursday.

While the summit, hosted by the Belgian government and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), pushes nuclear energy as a replacement for fossil fuels, more than 600 climate action groups launched a declaration calling nuclear power plants a "distraction which slows down the energy transition."

"We are in a climate emergency, so time is precious, and the governments here today are wasting it with nuclear energy fairy tales," Greenpeace E.U. senior campaigner Lorelei Limousin said in a statement. "All the evidence shows that nuclear power is too slow to build, too expensive, and it remains highly polluting and dangerous."

At the United Nations COP28 climate conference in the United Arab Emirates last year, more than 20 countries pledged to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050. However, Greenpeace France calculated that achieving this would mean finishing 70 reactors each year between 2040 and 2050. This would be an unprecedented buildout in defiance of current trends: Between 2020 and 2023, 21 reactors were completed while 24 were shut down worldwide.

In the European Union specifically, many countries turned away from nuclear after 2011 in response to the Fukushima accident in Japan, according to Reuters. Germany shuttered its last three reactors for good in April 2023 following a successful anti-nuclear campaign there. In general, the nuclear share of the E.U. power mix dropped from 32.8% in 2000 to 22.8% in 2023, Greenpeace said.

Activists argue that nuclear still poses all the dangers the anti-nuclear movement has been warning about for decades and also cannot be ramped up quickly enough to prevent escalating climate extremes.

To reinforce this message, members of Greenpeace France blockaded the main roads to the Brussels summit using cars and bicycles. They also lit pink flares and threw pink powder as a motorcade of officials en route to the summit approached. The action succeeded in delaying the arrival of several delegations, Greenpeace E.U. said.

Other demonstrators dropped banners from the summit site at Brussels Expo reading, "Nuclear Fairy Tale," while a group representing the 600 declaration signatories protested in front of an inflatable bouncy castle holding up a sign reading, "Nuclear fairy tales = climate crisis."

The declaration was drafted by Climate Action Network Europe and signed by groups from at least 56 different countries and territories including Climate Action Network Canada, the David Suzuki Foundation, the Sierra Club, Food and Water Watch, CodePink, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, and several 350.org, Fridays for Future, and Friends of the Earth affiliates.

"The nuclear lobby camouflages itself beneath a climate-friendly facade, hoping to divert massive sums of money away from real climate solutions, at the expense of people and the planet," the declaration reads.

The signatories pointed out that, while the world must dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 in order to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, it would take longer than this for any new nuclear plant to come online.

At the same time, it costs significantly more money to increase nuclear capacity than renewable options like wind and solar, they stressed. A new reactor requires almost four times the funds of a new wind power installation.

"Governments need to invest in proven climate solutions, such as home insulation, public transport, and renewable energy, rather than expensive experiments, like small modular reactors, which have no guarantees of actually delivering," the declaration says.

It also points to safety risks across the nuclear lifecycle, from uranium mining to waste storage. And it adds that those dangers would only increase as temperatures rise.

"The climate crisis also increases the risks involved in nuclear power, as increased heatwaves, droughts, storms, and flooding all pose significant threats to the plants themselves and to the systems that aim to prevent nuclear accidents," the signatories argued.

Instead, the declaration proposes that governments focus on achieving 100% renewable energy while also improving efficiency.

China Radio Int. 1205 13 Apr 2023

15590Khz 1156 13 APR 2023 - CHINA RADIO INT. (CHINA) in ENGLISH from URUMQI (XINJIANG, CRI). SINPO = 35444. English, s/on w/dead carrier fb "world today" in progress, closes, then pips @1200z and news read by male announcer.

Monday January 16/2023

This morning, we took a bullet train from Kyoto to Osaka in 15 minutes. Driving would have taken more than one hour. Our top speed was 350 kph (220 mph). We met a lady, who had organized Simon’s next workshop.

We had planned to go to the ceramics museum, but it was closed. So instead we went to the folk art and craft museum, but it was also closed. There was a garden beside museum, so we walked around and took some pictures. We also walked through the nearby expo exhibition grounds and took two monorails and two trains to get to Central Osaka.

The disappointment of Osaka is that the subway, train, and monorails are badly connected. Tickets must be purchased for each ride and transfers are not possible. You have to travel among stations by taking long walks above and/or underground. Sometimes we had to go through buildings, shopping malls and alleyways. At other times we went upstairs only to go downstairs seconds later and vice versa. Our guide, who spoke the language, was confused by the maze or routes and the sad shortage of signs. Nevertheless, we eventually got to our destinations.

We were looking forward to see the floating gardens suspended between two 40-story towers. First, we had Indian vegetable curry with rice and naan for lunch and then took an elevator to the 35th floor. This was followed by an escalator tube, suspended in the open air, to reach the 39th floor and ticket office. We soon discovered that there was no garden, only an observatory deck one floor higher than we were already seeing. The garden was back down at ground level and you were supposed to view it from high above.

Today it felt like we spent more time in public transportation and stations than sightseeing. We would give Osaka a miss if we were to return to Japan. After a short hotel rest, we went to Simon’s presentation which was very successful. We are looking forward to the confusion of Tokyo tomorrow.

UBERAIR IS A REALITY AFTER FIRST SUCCESSFUL TEST

technology blogs Uber was first founded in 2009 by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick with the name UberCab. At that time Garrett Camp travel to his friends home for New Year eve and he hire a private car and spent $800 for traveling then he was trying to figure out that he should make the services that is more affordable for everyone or for the average person.

First employee of UBERCAB comes from twitter he tweets on Travis Kalanick and his name is Ryan Graves, he is also become the General Manager of a company and given 5-10% of the company. Soon after he was become the CEO of company.

In 2010 company name is still UberCab and after that its name becomes UBER. Uber logo has changed 3-4 times and now in Sept2018 the UBER new logo is finally revelled.

Now UBER want to bring fly taxies in five countries include Japan, India, Australia, Brazil and France. Uber announces that in America Los Angeles and Dallas will be the first cities where in 2020 Uber will do fly taxi demo. The cities and countries list includes Japan and the cities of Tokyo and Osaka; in India with Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai: Melbourne or Sydney in Australia; In Brazil Rio de Janeiro and Paris, France, Where Advance Technologies Centres announced by Uber to study and develop flying cars. As expected by 2023 flight offered to the commercial fliers. Uber is also looking for third international city to partner with.

There is an expo in Japan where Uber presented potential flight path for cities that how it is looking when you ordered short plane ride through an app.

Preference is more in high density metro area more than 2 Million people so that pooled fligh make sense. Uber also wants “polycentric” regions (Superstructure of good urbanism) (urban areas made up of multiple cities). Uber can also work on the cities where Uber used mostly. Uber also give presentation on their services and shows that their fly planes will fly low to keep the airspace free and also have low noice.

In the Uber Elevate Summit Project UberAir a flight sharing network with electric vertical take-off and landing (e-VTOLs) aircraft. The electric plan goes 60 miles on a charge and this is expected to cruise at about 150 mph and reach about 2,000 feet. That is so woeful speed by UberAir flight this means commercial fliers can easily makes miles travelling easily and this UberAir is about to launch in 2023 and in 2020 in America fly taxi demo will be held. So as expected after one year we may see a successful launching of UberAir. Uber is partnering with some companies like Karem, Bell, Aurora Flight Sciences, Pipistrel Aircraft and Karem Embraer to build and maintain its craft and that can fly 60 miles at an altitude of about 1,000 feet at a single battery charge.

Uber basically want to launch their uberPoll shared service in the sky also that’s agraet services by any cab service provider and Uber also knows that in launching UberAir , Uber will lose much money. Khosrowshahi called this is the “real challenge,” for Uber and its partners to launch UberAir.

After seeing six final designs for UberAir’s skyports made up by architecture firms shows how fantastic and beyond the imagination, even if the team is working with the Federal Aviation Administration and NASA. But these changes in the cities will not happen overnight and Uber aims and plan to launch soon by 2023.

FLYING UBER TAXI WILL BECOME REALITY

The first successful test flight of Boeing’s autonomous passenger air vehicle (PAV), the battery powered aircraft is 30 feet long and 28 feet wide and it looks like a giant drone. Pilotless air taxis seems that it becoming reality soon after complete first successful its first test flight of a passenger air vehicle, it sounds really interesting passenger air vehicle and by 2023 through Uber and its partners make this possible. In 2017 manufacturing acquired Aurora Flight Sciences which working with Uber to create airborne ride-sharing network. The battery has a range of about 50 miles. Boeing, along with rival Bell a maker of Helicopters is now partnering with Uber to soon develop PAVs for future services. PAVs also develop Airbus and the German start-up Volocopter. But for the launching UberAir they need for Federal Aviation Administration approval may push the debut further out.

Experts also believe that according to traffic India is also a prefect country to elevate this. China or several southeast nations will expel from positions and they believe that India is the biggest market after US. In Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore these cities having much traffic in India, and due to traffic congestion costs Rs.1.5 Lakh Crore ($21 billion) each year.

Now Uber going to make the reality through UberAir now we can see taxis in air also, now all are waiting for this big launching and this is expected that 2023 will be the huge year for new technology and after the successful demo now Uber and its partners are sure that this launching will boom this year and traffic is also less through this and the air taxis launched with low noise pollution, and traveling area in a miles will be covered in minutes now all have eyes on the fares but this dream becomes reality that now taxis is fly in the sky’s.

New Concept Images of the Upcoming Studio Ghibli Theme Park Will See Spirited Away Come To Life

  While the Studio Ghibli theme park is currently on track to open in 2022 on Aichi Prefecture, on February 5, the animation studio released some more concept images of the theme park showcasing areas inspired by the beloved anime films Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and The Cat Returns.

      The first two concept images show off the Great Ghibli Warehouse area, which is inspired by Spirited Away and design motifs from Howl’s Moving Castle. The top image will be a restaurant alley meant to recreate the iconic dining area from Spirited Away. The bottom image shows the plaza area inside the Great Ghibli Warehouse. The yellow building will be a 170-seat theater, and the blue building will be part of a permanent exhibition area. These buildings were already part of the existing facilities of Aichi's Expo Park, which will be converted into a more Ghibli-esque style.

      The next set of images are of the Youth Hill area with the top image showing a wide view of the area showing an elevator inspired by Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Howl’s Moving Castle, as well as the Cat’s Office attraction from The Cat Returns. The bottom images give a more close up look of the elevator.

  Previously released images:

    Alongside the Youth Hill area, and the Great Ghibli Warehouse area, the Dondoko Forest area will make up the trio of areas that will open with the park in Fall 2022. Two more areas, The Mononoke Village and The Valley of the Witch are planned to open in Fall 2023.
