Pyxis, ivory with chased and nielloed silver gilt mounts, 966 CE/355 AH, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, ISAW no. 147.

"Pyxides were used as containers for jewelry and perfumes, and commonly made by sawing and hollowing out a section of elephant tusk. The dense, symmetrical, repeating patterns on this example testify to the skill of the ivory carvers at Madinat al-Zahra. Scrolling vines, flowers, and palmettes exhibit the characteristic arabesque and vegetal patterns of Islamic art and are paralleled on many of the carved wall reliefs and column capitals from the palace. The mirrored pairs of parrots, gazelles, and lions provide a sense of whimsy and may also allude to the fauna of the Umayyads’ ancestral home in Syria."

Experience Parasailing in Dubai: Fly Above 250 Meters!

What is Parasailing & how it’s work?

Parasailing is a recreational water activity and adventure sport that combines elements of both parachuting and paragliding. It involves being towed behind a boat while attached to a specially designed parachute-like canopy (known as a parasail) via a harness and ropes. Here's how parasailing typically works:

Preparation: You start by putting on a harness that is securely attached to the parasail canopy. The harness is connected to a long towline or rope.

Boat tow: You then board a motorized boat, and the boat's operator, often referred to as a captain or pilot, controls the speed and direction of the boat. The boat moves forward, which, in turn, causes the towline attached to the parasail to become taut.

Ascent: As the boat gains speed, the tension in the towline lifts you off the ground and into the air. You ascend gradually and smoothly, similar to the way a kite rises into the sky.

Soaring: Once you reach the desired altitude, you are essentially "parasailing." You'll experience breathtaking views from your elevated position, and the sensation is often described as peaceful and serene.

Descent and landing: When the ride is over, the boat operator will slowly reel you back in by reducing the speed of the boat. You'll descend gently and land back on the boat deck or sometimes in the water, depending on the setup.

Is parasailing meant for individuals or families/groups?

You have a few options when it comes to parasailing. If you prefer going it alone, you can sail solo as a single traveler. Alternatively, you can enjoy this activity with a group of two or more people. Keep in mind that there is a minimum age requirement for parasailing, which is 6 years old. For participants under the age of 18, it's important to note that they must have a parent or guardian present to take responsibility for them. Additionally, if you plan to parasail solo, you typically need to weigh around 90 pounds or more. For younger kids who may not meet this weight requirement, it's necessary for them to be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the experience.

Is parasailing a water activity?

Parasailing is a unique water sport where participants generally stay dry, although there's a chance your legs could get wet during take-off or landing, although this doesn't always happen. The experience itself is quite serene and not too high-paced. You won't ascend to extreme altitudes or speeds, making it a calm and enjoyable adventure. Typically, the parasail's height is determined by the captain, usually around 250 meters above the ocean, although this can vary depending on the location and individual preferences. It's important to note that higher heights may increase the associated risks.

When it comes to clothing, it's best to wear snug-fitting attire, like a swimsuit if you plan to take a dip afterward. Sunglasses and baseball caps are also recommended to protect against the sun's glare. Properly fitting shoes are a must, and it's advisable to leave loose jewelry and hats behind to prevent accidents. Additionally, a crucial tip is to avoid taking your cell phone parasailing, as electronics and water don't mix well, and it's best to keep your valuables safe and dry.

Benefits of laundry service near me

However, did you also know that it's a fantastic addition to your laundry room?

Describe baking soda.

Bicarbonate of soda, popularly known as queenslanddrycleaners has numerous applications. You've probably noticed that baking soda is being used all over the house, whether it's for preventing odors in your refrigerator or assisting your cakes in rising.

Sodium bicarbonate, sometimes known as queenslanddrycleaners is a chemical that occurs naturally and is found in a solid crystalline form. It is typically powdered down to a fine consistency.

It is not just a more cost-effective option, but also one that is greener.

We are confident that after reading this article, baking soda will be a must-have item on your next shopping list due to its many advantages.

The following are some advantages of using baking soda in the  laundry service near me

1. reduces and eliminates odors

Some detergents lack the enzyme power to destroy the microorganisms that give our clothes odors. Some people merely require a boost, which might be provided by baking soda.

Baking soda regulates the pH level in the washing, which allows your detergent to break down bacteria more effectively. Before adding the clothes to each load, add half a cup immediately into the drum.

If your clothing is extremely odorous, you can soak it overnight in a solution of warm water and 1-2 cups of baking soda. Put them through a typical cycle of washing in the morning.

If you have clothing that can't be cleaned, just combine it with an unopened box of baking soda and store it in an airtight container for 24 hours. Longer is preferable!

2. assist in improving bleach performance

Cleaning with chlorine bleach is a widespread practice. Once more, baking soda contributes to the best conditions possible for bleach to function. This suggests that you may use less bleach to get the same or even better results.

It works best when combined with 1/2 cup bleach and 1/2 cup baking soda.

3. helps in (natural) fabric softening

Once more, a small amount of baking soda—just 12 cups—can transform your washing. Baking soda prevents mineral or detergent deposits from re-depositing on your clothing and makes them feel less stiff by suspending them in the water.

Baking soda is not only far safer for the environment than store-bought fabric softeners, but it also does not affect the fire-retardant fabric used in some children's pajamas.

4. aids in iron cleaning

Natural abrasive baking soda can remove starch and scorch deposits that accumulate on iron over time. Use a white cloth and a mixture made of baking soda and water to gently scrape the surface of the iron. Continue until all of the buildups has been eliminated. Finally, use a towel that has been soaked with white distilled vinegar to wipe the iron surface.

Surprised by the variety of applications for baking soda and its advantages? A modest box only cost you a dollar... It is a must for each washing room.

Abd al-Rahman III

Abd al-Rahman III was an Umayyad prince who reigned as Emir of Cordoba, and later Caliph of Cordoba, from 912 to 961 CE. His reign is remembered as a golden age of Muslim Spain and Umayyad rule, epitomized by his declaration of the second Umayyad Caliphate in 929 CE. He re-established one unified Muslim state in Spain and presided over the expansion of his capital at Cordoba as well as the founding of the impressive caliphal palace at Madinat al-Zahra.

Early Years

Abd al-Rahman was born at the Umayyad royal court in Cordoba on 18 December 890 CE. He was the grandson of both the Umayyad Emir of Cordoba, 'Abd Allah (r. 888-912 CE), and the King of Navarre, Fortún Garcés (r. 882-905 CE). Abd al-Rahman was just days old when his father Muhammad was assassinated by his own brother, Al-Mutarrif. 'Abd Allah had several sons who could follow him on the throne but he showed clear favoritism for his grandson Abd al-Rahman. When the emir died in 912 CE, Abd al-Rahman inherited the Umayyad throne at the age of twenty-one. Despite being Arab, the new emir was fair-skinned, blonde, and had blue eyes due to European concubines' inclusion in the family tree. According to one legend, he even dyed his beard black to match his people's image of him as an Arab Umayyad.

Abd al-Rahman had a mixed inheritance. His namesake, Abd al-Rahman I (r. 756-788 CE), had painstakingly unified Muslim Spain at the end of the 8th century CE, but after his death, the peninsula unraveled once more. Rebels such as Musa ibn Musa and Ibrahim ibn Hajjaj created their own de facto states inside the Emirate of Cordoba, especially in the north and the countryside. The Umayyads maintained their power base in the major cities of southern Spain and managed to put the rebellions down with much effort. However, frequently, these local potentates were too powerful to simply remove entirely. Instead, the Umayyad emirs held the leaders in Cordoba and had them call up their troops to support Umayyad military campaigns against other autonomous rebels. Effective Umayyad control barely extended outside of the region around Cordoba itself. It was this rather shaky political control that Abd al-Rahman III faced when he ascended the throne.

Abd al-Rahman immediately set to work. Before the year was out, rebels' decapitated heads started to dot the walls of Cordoba as fortress after rebellious fortress submitted to Umayyad arms. The greatest change was that Abd al-Rahman took personal command of the Umayyad troops, which 'Abd Allah had not done for nearly 20 years. While 'Abd Allah had to be cautious giving his generals many troops lest they betray him, Abd al-Rahman could lead the bulk of his forces himself. In addition, he began to recruit foreign mercenaries, including Turks from the East and Berbers from North Africa, whose loyalty would be unquestionable without local power bases of their own.

The greatest challenge to Umayyad authority, however, was still at large. Umar ibn Hafsun was a particularly bad thorn in the side of the Umayyads since 880 CE when he was recorded leading his first rebellion. He was brought to heel several times but continued to break out from Umayyad control until Abd al-Rahman led a full-scale campaign against him in 914 CE, besieging several of his forces and massacring the defenders of the fortress of Belda. Following this concentrated attack, ibn Hafsun finally submitted to Umayyad authority in 915 CE, at which point he controlled over 100 fortresses in Al-Andalus.
