Lynn Valley

Home to some of our most visited recreational areas and celebrated for its mountain village charm, Lynn Valley is one of the District’s longest-established neighbourhoods.

Bounded by Upper Lonsdale to the west, Lower Lynn to the south, Lynn Creek to the east, and the rugged wilderness of the North Shore mountains to the north, Lynn Valley embraces nature at every turn.

This community includes the neighbourhoods of Upper Lynn, Upper West Lynn, Lower West Lynn, Valley Centre, Central Lynn, Lynn Canyon, West Lynn Terrace, Boundary, and Kirkstone. Lynn Valley is one of the District’s new town centres and the community’s central hub is undergoing a major transformation into a vibrant residential and commercial core for the area.

Day1. 在西雅图吃过午餐后出发，下午简单游览 Paradise 景区，住在 Ashford 小镇
Day2. 用5个小时走 Skyline Trail，晚上返回西雅图
备注：

雷尼尔山的主景区

交通：距离西雅图市区约2小时车程
住宿：多数同学会住在 Ashford 小镇

示范行程：
Day1. 在西雅图吃过午餐后出发，下午简单游览 Paradise 景区（比如看看瀑布），住在 Ashford 小镇
Day2. 如果起的早，可以先去 Reflection Lake（清晨看到湖中雷尼尔山倒影的概率高）然后驾车10分钟回到游客中心，挑战 Skyline Trail，下午返回西雅图

4. Skyline Trail 最美步道  查看地图

雷尼尔国家公园最有人气的步道，可以看到 雪山，野花，瀑布，溪流，以及大量的土拨鼠

步道说明：
‣ 步道往返5.5英里，Elevation gain 545米，一般需要4.5小时，难度中高
‣ 步道的起点是 Jackson Visitor Center 的停车场，夏季 8.30am 左右停车场就会被占满

季节说明：

AllTrails：5星 10950条评价+
装备：防晒霜，徒步鞋（如果徒步鞋是低帮的，那还要带着替换袜子，因为走路时积雪很可能会进入鞋中），登山杖（有积雪时建议使用），可参考《新手徒步装备推荐》，怕摔的同学还可以备着 冰爪 Ice cleats

官方建议顺时针徒步：先去 Panorama Point，最后到达 Myrtle Falls，期间可通过 Golden Gate Trail 抄近路（虽短，但更陡，更不好走）

公园内最有人气的湖泊
没有风的时候，可以看到完美的雪山倒影

Space Needle turns to Veovo’s crowd management solution for its property

The Space Needle

 

• The Space Needle officially opened to the public on April 21, 1962 for the Century 21 Exposition, a space age-themed world’s fair.
• Edward E. Carlson, the chief organizer of the World’s Fair, sketched the Space Needle’s original flying saucer concept on a napkin. The unique design quickly made the tower one of the most recognizable structures in the world, and the proud symbol of Seattle.
• It took approximately 400 days to build the Space Needle.
• The Space Needle’s graceful, wasp-waisted tower shape was inspired by an abstract sculpture by artist David Lemon titled, “the Feminine One.”
• Approximately 1.3 million guests visit the Space Needle per year, and nearly 60 million visitors have visited the tower since it opened in 1962.
• It cost $4.5 million to build the Space Needle in 1962. In 2018, the Century Project renovation cost closer to $100 million.
• The Space Needle is privately owned by the Wright family and sits on a 120-foot by 120-foot private parcel of land on the Seattle Center campus. The Space Needle is the only private property on the Seattle Center’s 74-acre campus.
• The Space Needle stands at 605 feet tall.
• The Space Needle offers 360-degree views from its three main viewing areas – an indoor observation deck and open-air viewing area located at 520 feet, and an observation level featuring a revolving glass floor located 500 feet above ground.
• The Space Needle installed The Loupe, the world’s first revolving glass floor, in 2018. The Loupe offers never-seen-before views of the Space Needle’s unique architecture, elevators, and the city below.
• The Space Needle was designated as an official landmark in 1999.
• It takes 43 seconds to travel in a Space Needle elevator from the ground to the tower’s top level, 520 feet above Seattle.

Hawaii

 Hawaii (/həˈwaɪi/ (listen) hə-WY-ee; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi [həˈvɐjʔi, həˈwɐjʔi]) is an island state in the Western United States, about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) from the U.S. mainland in the Pacific Ocean. It is the only U.S. state outside North America, the only state that is an archipelago, and the only state in the tropics.

Hawaii consists of 137 volcanic islands that comprise almost the entire Hawaiian archipelago; spanning 1,500 miles (2,400 km), the state is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.^[9] Hawaii's ocean coastline is consequently the fourth-longest in the U.S., at about 750 miles (1,210 km).^[d] The eight main islands, from northwest to southeast, are Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi, after which the state is named; the latter is often called the "Big Island" or "Hawaii Island" to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago. The uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands make up most of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, the largest protected area in the U.S. and the fourth largest in the world.

Sabre Corp. (SABR)

 

Sabre Corp. (SABR)

Sabre is one of the three primary global distribution systems. GDS platforms serve as a marketplace for displaying and selling transportation tickets for services such as airlines, cruise lines and passenger railroads, and they operate virtually everywhere except China, which has a different marketplace. Sabre has a huge amount of debt, and shares collapsed with the onset of the pandemic. Investors wondered whether the company would even survive. However, Sabre is now on the mend. Shares rallied roughly 25% following its most recent earnings report in which the company showed stronger-than-expected revenue growth and a solidly positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, figure. With global travel in a boom, Sabre's operations are looking better.

While the stock is still down more than 70% from where it was prior to 2020, that could change in a hurry if Sabre can string together a couple more positive earnings reports in a row. In fact, while at the time this was written SABR was trading for less than $5, the stock has since rocketed higher and been the recipient of glowing analyst commentary following an impressive quarter. "We plan to lift our $8.50 fair value estimate toward $9 per share to account for higher air booking fees," wrote Dan Wasiolek, senior equity analyst for Morningstar.
