Bi-Weekly Camping Gear Deal Thread (USA) Week of June 4, 2023 and June 11, 2023. This post will be stickied until June 17, 2023.
Coming up soon is the July 4 mega-thread. Memorial Day is one of the best times of the year to get deals on gear with REI's annual anniversary sale, Moosejaw, Backcountry, Backcountry Gear, EnWild, Als, Sports Basement, Campsaver etc all having really good sales. This will be posted during the week of June 25 and will run until July 8, 2023.
These threads will list the deals and links to the main site, plus cashback options. It will not list return policy, free shipping or the background on the company. You can reference the Black Friday deals thread for those details.
Use cashback sites like Activejunky.com, topcashback.com, rakuten.com to stack additional savings.
Otherwise If you need gear right away and want a discount try using one of the "new customer" coupon codes offered by Backcountry.com. backcountrygear.com, Campsaver, Campman, Campmor, EnWild, Gear.com, Moosejaw, Outdoor Gear Exchange etc. Some of these sites also can combine with cashback sites like activejunky.com.

For cashback it is usually highest at Activejunky.com, however sometimes Rakuten, TopCashback or MaxRebates.com will offer higher cashback rates. Check the retailer you want to buy from at cashbackholic.com or cashbackmonitor.com to see who is offering the highest cashback in real time.

Hello Kitty Cafe Truck Today!!
Please do not comment if you know which of the two locations this is. I don’t want weird dms talking about driving to my state or something crazy.
Please do comment if we talked! I wanted to ask for handles, but didn’t want to intrude.
I went 3 hours before opening and met some really sweet hello Kitty fans. I was ~35th in line when I got there. They opened up early, so I was done by 10:08 and off to BBW for semi-annual sale. I got they keychain, water bottle, and black sweatshirt, but was hoping to also get the purple treats shirt or the cookie plushie. The sweatshirt is so soft and I got it in a 2xl, so it hits mid thigh on my 6’1.5” body and the sleeves are slightly longer than my fingertips. I love it!
It was also nice to see everyone’s outfits! I definitely have some items on my wishlist now 😅

Get Ready to Shop: Clearance Signs Unveil Unbeatable Offers

introduction

Are you ready to score some amazing deals? If so, it's time to pay attention to those clearance signs popping up in stores near you. These colorful markers are the key to unlocking unbeatable offers on everything from clothing and electronics to home decor and more. But with so many sales happening all year round, how do you know which ones are worth your time and money? In this blog post, we'll share our top tips for spotting a good clearance sale, as well as the best things to buy during these events. Get ready for some serious shopping!
The 5 best clearance sales to shop this year
1. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
One of the most highly anticipated clearance sales of the year is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which typically takes place in July or August. This event offers huge discounts on designer clothing, shoes, accessories, and beauty products for women, men, and children.
2. Amazon Prime Day
Another major clearance sale to watch out for is Amazon Prime Day. Usually held in mid-July (but postponed to October 2020), this online shopping extravaganza gives Prime members access to exclusive deals on a wide range of items including electronics, home appliances and more.
3. Target End-of-Season Sales
Target's end-of-season clearance sales are always worth checking out if you're looking for affordable seasonal items like outdoor furniture or holiday decorations at discounted prices.
4. Macy's One-Day Sales
Macy's famous one-day sales offer deep discounts on everything from clothing and jewelry to housewares and furniture several times throughout the year.
5. Walmart Black Friday
When it comes to finding unbeatable deals on electronics and home goods during Thanksgiving weekend (late November), look no further than Walmart’s Black Friday sale with its special “doorbuster” offers that make lines form long before stores open.
How to spot a good clearance sale
Clearance sales can be a great way to save money on items you need or want. However, not all clearance sales are created equal. Here are some tips for spotting a good one.
Firstly, look for signs that indicate the sale is legitimate and not just a marketing ploy. For example, signs that say "Final Clearance" or "Everything Must Go" suggest that prices will indeed be reduced significantly.
Secondly, do your research before heading to the store. Check online reviews to see if other shoppers have found good deals during previous clearance events at that particular retailer.
Once you arrive at the store, take note of how much inventory is left on the shelves. If there's still plenty of stock available, it's possible that prices may drop even more in future days or weeks.
Pay attention to whether newer items are included in the clearance sale or just older models/seasonal items. Often times retailers will use clearance sales as an opportunity to get rid of outdated merchandise but also new products with minor defects.
By following these tips, you'll increase your chances of finding great deals at a good clearance sale!
Tips for getting the most out of clearance shopping
Clearance signs shopping is a great way to snag amazing deals on items you may not have been able to afford otherwise. It can be a bit overwhelming though, so here are some tips for getting the most out of your clearance shopping experience.
td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}Clearance signs
Firstly, always go with an open mind. Don't have specific items in mind that you're dead set on buying because it's likely they won't be available or there might not be any good deals on them. Instead, keep an eye out for things that catch your interest and try them out.
Another tip is to plan ahead and do your research before heading into the store. Check their website or social media pages to see if they've advertised any upcoming sales or promotions.
When browsing through clearance racks, make sure you thoroughly check each item for defects or damages before purchasing. Sometimes these items are on clearance because they were returned or damaged in some way.
It's also important to remember that just because something is heavily discounted doesn't mean it's necessarily a good deal. Make sure you compare prices between stores and online retailers before making a purchase.
Don't forget about loyalty programs! Many stores offer rewards points or discounts specifically for clearance purchases which can save you even more money in the long run.
By following these simple tips, you'll be able to navigate through those crowded clearance aisles like a pro and score some amazing deals along the way!
The best things to buy on clearance
Clearance sales are the perfect opportunity to snag some amazing deals on items that you may have been eyeing for a while but were hesitant to purchase at full price. However, not all clearance items are created equal and it's important to know what products make the most sense to buy during these sales.
One of the best things to buy on clearance is seasonal clothing. Retailers need to quickly clear out space for new inventory and often heavily discount last season's styles. This means you can score great deals on winter coats in the spring or swimsuits in the fall.
Another item to keep an eye out for during clearance events is electronics. As new models are released, retailers will often offer discounts on older technology as they try to move their remaining stock.
Home goods such as bedding, decor, and small appliances also tend to be discounted heavily during clearance sales. This is a great time to upgrade your living space without breaking the bank.
Don't forget about stocking up on basic essentials like toiletries and cleaning supplies during clearance events. These products rarely go bad and buying them at a discounted price can save you money in the long run.
Keeping an eye out for these types of items during clearance sales can potentially save you hundreds of dollars throughout the year!
Conclusion
Clearance sales provide an excellent opportunity to get amazing deals on items you've been eyeing for a long time. By following the tips mentioned in this blog post, you can make the most out of your clearance shopping experience.
Remember to keep an eye out for good clearance signs, not just during seasonal sales but all year round. Keep track of when your favorite stores have their annual clearance events and mark them on your calendar so that you don't miss out on any great offers.
Moreover, always have a game plan before heading to the store by creating a list of things you need and setting a budget. This will help prevent impulse purchases and ensure that you stay within your means while still getting everything you want from the sale.
Be sure to do some research beforehand to know what merchandise is likely to go on clearance soon or which products generally sell well at discounted prices. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to shop smarter and come away with unbeatable bargains.
So next time there's a big "clearance" sign outside your favorite store, go ahead – step inside! With these tips under your belt, there's no reason why taking advantage of those unbeatable offers shouldn't become one of your favorite pastimes!

2023.06.02 13:10 suvam0711 How to Make the Most of the Government's Apprenticeship Scheme?

How to Make the Most of the Government's Apprenticeship Scheme?


Instead of the old-fashioned mechanisms that are already in place, there should be a network that allows for the skill development of millions upon millions of young people in India, and this network should cover the entire country.
They need to9 acquire the abilities that will allow them to contribute to India's evolution into a modern nation. Their talents ought to be praised wherever they go, regardless of the country they visit.
Apprenticeship training is one of the most effective ways to develop skilled labor for industry. This method uses the training facilities already present in the establishments, so there is no additional financial strain placed on the exchequer to set up a training infrastructure. Those who have undergone apprenticeship training can readily adapt to the milieu of an industrial workplace when they begin regular employment.

National Apprenticeship Promotion Program

Apprenticeship training is regarded as one of the most effective means of developing skilled labor for the nation. It provides a practice-oriented, industry-led, effective, and efficient approach to formal training. The purpose of the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme is to encourage apprenticeship training across the nation.
Employers will receive 25% of the prescribed stipend, up to a maximum of Rs. 1,500 per month per apprentice, according to the scheme. The government of India would also provide Basic Training Providers with a maximum of Rs. 7500 for each fresher apprentice (without any formal trade training).
The program went into effect on October 1, 2016. Employers who hired an apprentice before October 1, 2016, will be eligible for program benefits on October 1, 2016.

The Objective of the Plan

According to the post on the National Apprenticeship Promotion Program (NAPS) rule, the government aims to give apprenticeship training to 47 lakh youngsters by 2020. Under the program, the Government of India will provide 25% of the monthly stipend, up to a maximum of Rs. 15,00 per apprentice. The government of India would also provide essential training providers with a maximum of Rs. 7500 for each fresher apprentice (without any formal trade training). The program began on October 1, 2016. Employers who hired apprentices before October 1, 2016, will be eligible for program benefits on October 1, 2016.

The Qualifications to Participate in the National Apprenticeship Promotion Programme

The following is a list of the eligibility criteria that must be met to participate in the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme:
  • The candidate has entered into an apprenticeship contract with the employer for apprenticeship training. They can be recruited from the following categories-
  • Trainees who have graduated from ITI courses/ dual learning mode from ITI/ completed PMKVY/ minimum educational qualification required for trade have yet to receive formal training.
  • Needs registration on the portal.
  • Mandatory Aadhar number
  • Must meet the age, educational, and physical standards specified for the trade and the business's minimum age and academic and physical qualification.
  • The upper age limit for new apprentices is 21 years old. The number of apprentices must reach 20% of the annual quota.

The Advantage of the National Apprenticeship Training Program

The NATS, which is available to students notion wide provides a variety of benefits-
  1. In India, the National Apprenticeship Scheme is a twelve-month program for all students.
  2. It will provide the nation’s youth with technical expertise.
  3. The program equips students with the knowledge and skills required for their chosen profession.
  4. The organization gives the trainees with training on the job site.
  5. Due to the well-developed training modules and skilled managers, trainees pick up the task quickly and thoroughly.

Approaches to make the NAPS or National Apprenticeship Promotion Program work-

  1. Youth Education- How do we make it seem like a desirable goal to become an apprentice? If they are marketed correctly, apprenticeships have the potential to be just as effective as internships. It is impossible to restrict it to students at it ITI or polytechnics. Applicants who have participated in short-term training programs such as PMKVy or state skill development missions should be able to take advantage of apprenticeship opportunities to further their professional development.
  2. Use current infrastructure- Some technical training institutions, such as RVTIs and ITI, need the financial means to purchase the most recent equipment, tools, and technology. An apprenticeship allows skilled individuals to expand their practical knowledge and get familiar with the most up-to-date industry requirements.
  3. Apprenticeships are not low-cost labor- The widespread perception that apprenticeships are exclusively found in the manufacturing business restricts the program's viability as a route to employment in the organized sector, especially in the service industry. Apprenticeship is currently employed in a variety of fields, including customer service, sales, and logistics, among others.
  4. The Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Business (MSME) difficulty- Several MSME businesses continue to employ unskilled or semi-skilled laborers. Recruiting skilled individuals is not a priority for them because they can meet their demands without incurring the expense of training them. But they must be made aware that their output continues to fall below quality and industry norms. It may be challenging to convince them to accept apprentices, but they can be won over via systematic teaching about the long-term benefits and incentives.
  5. Not restricted to manufacturing- Apprenticeships are limited as a tool for organized sector employment, particularly in the services industry, due to the common perception that they are associated with manufacturing. Apprentices are employed in customer service, sales, logistics, and other fields.
  6. Apprenticeship regulations should be loosened- Now, the legal aspects of apprenticeship that could hinder its wider acceptance are being re-examined (a reference to Apprenticeship Protsahan Yojana). We need an approach that encourages the sector, training partners, and candidates to adopt apprenticeship models without fear of strict labor regulations, excessive paperwork, and excessive regulations.

Conclusion

We must investigate adaptable and interoperable methods of incorporating apprenticeship programs into existing training and development programs. This is the most effective method for increasing the value of skilled professions and promoting diverse avenues for skill-based training to have a lasting impact on the lives of young people.

2023.06.01 18:52 ASTL-Token Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) fell during Thursday morning trading.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) fell during Thursday morning trading, along with most of the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin fell 1.81% to $27,163. The daily decline positioned the world's largest cryptocurrency as the biggest loser among the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours, with a total loss of 2.31%. Litecoin followed suit, dropping 2.27% to $89.51. “Bitcoin needs to break the big $28,000 figure. To be optimistic, the weekly candle should close above $28,000,” said Konstantinas Sizovas, CFO of ASTL investment project. Ether fell 1.31% to $1,870 since 10:00 am, dropping below the $1,900 psychological benchmark.
XRP was the only green-colored token among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, climbing 0.91% to $0.5074 after rising yesterday. The coin began gaining momentum after Ripple advocate and supporter John Deaton tweeted on Sunday that the court would release internal documents from 2018 in which former Securities and Exchange Commission director William Hinman states that the Ether token sales were not transactions. with securities, which could undermine the regulator's case against Ripple Labs. The US Securities Regulator sued the San Francisco payment firm in December 2020, alleging that XRP was a security and that Ripple was conducting unrecorded securities transactions by selling the cryptocurrency.
Sale of secondary non-fungible bitcoin tokens (NFTs) rose by 5.42% to $4.6 million in the last 24 hours. Interest in Bitcoin NFTs is on the rise after the new BRC-721E token standard was launched on Monday. The token standard allows Ethereum-based ERC-721 NFTs to be permanently transferred to Bitcoin, where they become BRC-721E tokens. The launch of the new Bitcoin-based token standard has propelled Milday's NFT collection into the top 10 in daily sales. Initially based on Ethereum, Miladay Maker was involved in the creation of the BRC-721E token standard. Ethereum 24-hour NFT sales rose 10.25% to $19.1 million, boosted by Bored Ape Yacht Club, which rose 1.32% to generate $2.6 million in sales for the network. Sales of the NFT Open Pen Edition also rose 79.15% to $868,963.
According to our experts, crypto markets are bracing for a downturn as liquidity shrinks resume after the US debt ceiling is lifted. Topping up the US Treasury general account and the Federal Reserve (Fed) winding down its balance sheet will take hundreds of billions of dollars out of the financial system, putting pressure on cryptocurrency prices in the coming months.
Improved liquidity conditions earlier this year have helped lift the prices of risky assets, including equities and digital assets. The market-wide crypto rally took bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, to $31,000 before turning into a speculative meme-coin frenzy reminiscent of a sugar rush near the tops of a bull market. However, the trend will change once US lawmakers approve an increase in the government's ability to issue new debt, putting pressure on risky investments. That being said, to begin with, the US Treasury will have to replenish its almost completely depleted Treasury General Account (TGA), which means replenishing about $500 billion in cash from the financial system. "This event is likely to hit risky assets especially as they tend to be more sensitive to liquidity conditions than safer games such as bonds and many stock groups," Konstantinas Sizovas said. "The Treasury's shrinking of its Fed account was one of the tailwinds for the market earlier this year as money that would normally just sit there was put into the economy as government spending," he explained, "Now the opposite is likely to happen: the government needs to replenish the balance of this account by issuing debt, which will take liquidity out of the market and back into the Treasury account."
The replenishment of the general account coincides with the fact that the Fed continues its quantitative tightening campaign, briefly interrupted in March due to the regional banking crisis, in order to reduce its bloated balance sheet and not support the economy. The US House of Representatives is ready to vote to raise the debt ceiling. Tighter liquidity conditions, reduced likelihood of a Fed rate cut this year, and the current trading environment of reduced volatility and volume are making crypto markets poised for a shock.
As such, investors are advised to take some time to think before making any investment. One of the legitimate forms of investment is, for example, the ASTL investment project, which allows investors to have the opportunity to directly invest fiat and cryptocurrency assets in a stable passive income that obviously exceeds inflationary expectations and is not subject to any sanctions, blocking and confiscation. The ASTL project is a simple and elegant solution for potential investors - an investment in the development of the real sector of a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, with a fairly high ROI (up to 14% annually) with payments in stablecoin (USDT) and the possibility of a full return on investment through the subsequent sale of accrued ASTL tokens on leading crypto exchanges.

FF 91 2.0 also boasts the longest interior space among ultra-luxury vehicles with a similar wheelbase + Zero-Gravity seat with the industry's largest recline angle of 60 degrees, bringing the comfort level of first class to land. With an acceleration time of just 2.27 seconds for 0-60 mph (96 km/h), the FF 91 2.0 takes the top spot in terms of acceleration-to-weight ratio of 0.78, surpassing traditional and electric vehicle competitors alike. With the next-generation technology architecture, the “FF aiHyper 6x4 Architecture 2.0,” powered by FF AI, the FF 91 2.0 has the capability to perceive user habits, engage in continuous learning and evolve, with the goal of surpassing users’ understanding of themselves. Through the “3rd aiSpace”, users can fully indulge in the unique convenience and enjoyment.
The FF 91 2.0 boasts dimensions of 5,250 x 2,283 x 1,598 mm (length x width x height) and a wheelbase of 3,200 mm. With its spacious interior, it sets a global benchmark for wheelbase-to-space ratio. In terms of exterior design, the FF 91 2.0 is truly space-age, with its innovative matrix-style LED headlights that span across the front and rear of the vehicle.
FF aiHypercar 6x4 Architecture 2.0: The next-generation technology driven by FF AI
During the event, Faraday Future also announced a fully upgraded next-generation technology architecture driven by FF AI -- "FF aiHyper 6x4 Architecture 2.0". “6x4” refers to the vertical integration and horizontal penetration of FF’s six technology platforms and four technology systems. The six technology platforms are “FF OpenApp”, “FF aiOS 2”, “FF aiHW 2.0”, “FF Mechanical”, “FF Cloud” and “FF AI”. The four technology systems are the “Magic All-In-One”, “Hyper Multi-Vectoring”, “3rd aiSpace”, and “FF aiDriving.”
At the system level, FF vertically integrated different platform modules in order to maximize performance and achieve hyper cross-platform integration. System technologies are empowered by platform technology, and user benefits are realized through AI integration.
Through the fusion of general AI + personalized AI + “1-on-1 Bespoke Private AI”, FF is delivering an elite mobility experience to the spire users. All-AI is the soul of “FF aiHyper 6x4 Architecture 2.0”. With AI algorithms + AI engines + and AI services, FF has designed end-to-end integration of AI capabilities, realizing All-AI integration with platforms and systems.
In addition, certain developers and third parties are invited to participate in R&D through an open technology platform, fostering co-creation of the technology architecture. For ultra-spire users, time is the ultimate luxury. FF believe aiHyper 6x4 Architecture 2.0 will be the next-gen technology architecture that addresses key pain points from the spire users of future mobility. The "All-Ability aiHypercar," built on this architecture, aims to provide users with 1 to 2 hours of increased time in their day for added value and efficiency. Our Ultimate AI TechLuxury is designed to offer spire users "26-hour days."
The “Magic All-In-One” System
The unique “Magic All-In-One” is an all-terrain AI vehicle body control technology system equipped with hyper agility and precision. Users can enjoy an optimized driving experience and personalize their mobility experience through 1 on 1 Bespoke body tuning. The vehicle offers All-in-one combination of the performance of a hypercar, the comfort and handling of a sedan, and the high ground clearance, visibility, and space of an SUV. One computing module integrates the comprehensive capabilities across cabin, driving, electric propulsion, body, and suspension.
Based on the preferences and needs of ultra-spire users, FF expects the “Magic All-in-One” technology system of FF 91 2.0 Futurist and FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance to offer two editions. The “Magic All-in-One” track edition emphasizes track performance tuning with all-terrain capability and includes a one-on-one professional track driving training session with a professional racing car driver. The "Magic All-in-One" balance edition emphasizes all-terrain balanced tuning for the three vehicle types: Hypercar, Sedan, and SUV with air suspension providing for a smoother ride. The Company plans to deliver the track edition first, followed by the balance edition. FF intends for users to take advantage of a one-time system exchange free of charge, allowing them to enjoy two distinct vehicle experiences tailored to their diverse driving needs.
The “Hyper Multi-Vectoring” System
The “Hyper Multi-Vectoring” (an integrated multi-axis torque vectoring AI system for propulsion, steering and braking) of FF 91 2.0 Futurist and FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance has a multi-axis design that intelligently adjusts the torque output of each wheel according to different driving conditions to achieve optimal drive force distribution and provide precise and agile handling performance.
The system intelligently adjusts torque output, allowing for a personalized AI-customized driving experience that delivers ultimate control and handling.
The large battery pack and multi-axis no-latency hyper power output not only provide an exciting experience for the driver, but also allow passengers to sit comfortably in the back and enjoy the thrill of the ride.
The integration of multi-axis vectoring and AI technology was designed to enable the FF 91 2.0 Futurist to keep excellent ride control and safety in different hyper modes, even in emergency situations. Additionally, users can opt for and "1 on 1 Bespoke Private AI and Tuning" package to further enhance their ultimate driving and handling experience.
The “3rd aiSpace” System
FF 91 2.0 is equipped with 3 modems, an industry-first. The Super AP 5G x 3 supports three carriers, delivering triple speed and triple coverage with minimal latency. In the US, it supports AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile so even if two carriers are down, you may still rely on the third one for service.
In the future, FF plans to launch an option for a high-speed internet satellite communications suite. Additionally, the vehicle has the world's fastest in-car network speed: 10G Ethernet and the world's largest in-car display capability with OLED technology and 11+ displays.
FF 91 2.0 creates a mobility work scenario by moving the meeting room and live broadcast studio to the car and delivering the ultimate AI mobility lifestyle. Integration of FF ID and web3 wallet delivers personalization for each seat. FF Generative AI enables an intelligent in-car experience, removing the need for a phone in the car. Smartwatch remote control feature provides a convenient experience for spire users.
The “FF aiDriving” System
The intelligent driving technology system of FF 91 features a fusion of 3 types of AI that creates intelligent assisted driving. FF has heavily invested in the customization of AI. The unique fusion of general AI + personalized AI + “1 on 1 Bespoke Private AI” delivers for the spire users the aiDriving (driver-assistance system) that aims to know you better than you know yourself.
The Company is dedicated to delivering technology and product iterations and upgrades to our spire users through OTA. We plan to host a “FF Developers Co-creation AI Festival” at the 919 event, held on September 19th, where we expect to announce the FFAI strategy execution status and technology innovations. We invite certain futurists to participate in the FF Developers Co-Creation Program, driving the ongoing upgrade and evolution of the mobility industry for our spire users.
FF "All-Ability aiHypercar": Redefining the new category and standard of intelligent spire EV
The “All-Ability aiHypercar” defines the new category and core standard of intelligent spire EV. “Hypercars" have been widely known as those with over 1,000 horsepower and million-dollar price tags, representing the top 1% in both performance and price. FF believes future hypercars will redefine the criteria from two perspectives, the traditional mechanical hyper and silicon-based hyper.
FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance is limited to 300 units and the price is a MSRP of $309,000 US dollars. Online pre-sale is fully open.
The FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance offers additional privileges and benefits compared to the FF 91 2.0 Futurist. It provides signature customization including the option for Founder Signature Edition, “1-on-1 bespoke private AI and special tuning”. It will be available in three Alliance colors of bright silver and matte silver, matte black, as well as an exclusive wheel design.
All FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance users will also receive exclusive professional track-time training, and an Apple Watch with FF vehicle control feature. The first ninety one Alliance users will receive a high-speed Internet satellite communications suite (free upgrades and installation expected to be provided when available).
In addition, the FF mobility ecosystem product, “FF aiHypercar+,” has an annual subscription price of $14,900. This exclusive pricing offer is limited to the first 2,000 users in the US and China markets. Through the support of Web 3.0 technology, FF has designed a system separating software and hardware, aiming to allow car users to truly own the software as an asset for the first time. Consumer owned software would be a breakthrough in the automotive industry and even the consumer electronics industry.
We are now accepting full payment for the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance to preorder the vehicle and be trained in the use of the vehicle. We have also re-opened vehicle pre-ordering. New users in the US can secure a spot on the Alliance edition waitlist by placing a $5,000 deposit, while those in China can place a 50,000 RMB deposit. Additionally, online pre-orders are open for both the FF 91 2.0 Futurist and the FF 91 2.0.

These industry expert FPOs will take possession of the reserved FF 91 vehicle at the beginning of the second phase of delivery.
After 9 years of intense work, FF has completed the upgrade and transformation from 0 to 1.0 and then to 2.0
FF boasts a global corporate structure with US and China dual home bases that encompass our dual DNA strategy with globally integrated operations across R&D, supply chain, production, and sales. “Born in California, Global DNA” is deeply etched in FF’s globally distributed staff.

In May 2023, I finished 15 Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mists 💙 these are all empties now and out of my inventory!
💙 = would definitely purchase in the future during any sale 🙂 = might purchase in the future during Semi Annual Sale if I have space left in my cart 👎🏻 = will not purchase, I don’t hate this scent but just don’t need it again
Left to right: 👎🏻 Watermelon Mojito 👎🏻 Warm Vanilla Sugar 👎🏻 Champagne Apple & Honey 👎🏻 Cucumber Melon (x2) 🙂 Coco Paradise 👎🏻 Starlit Night 👎🏻 Moonlight Path (x2) 👎🏻 Sweet Pea 👎🏻 Rose 👎🏻 Hello Beautiful 👎🏻 Golden Hour Coast 👎🏻 Magic in the Air 💙 Waikiki Beach Coconut
Very happy with all these empties! I go through body mists very fast since I’m one of those folks who use them daily and often reapply hourly with a genius spray down! I didn’t hate any of these scents, just not stuff I gravitate forwards. I really enjoy musk, woodsy and clean/fresh scents as well as anything with coconut. I tend to stray from florals, fruits and gourmand scents. Thank you to bbw for sending me these! All opinions are my own and honest 😄

2023.05.31 04:15 Here4TheTeaPlz Does GC do a semi annual sale like B&BW?

I’ve put a bunch of candles in my GC cart but I’m wondering if I should hold off for a better sale. B&BW starts their semi annual sale this Saturday so I’m wondering if GC has something similar. I’m new to GC so I don’t know the rundown yet on the best candle sales. Thanks! 😊

Build Something Beautiful Together During Days of Color

https://preview.redd.it/zt39wep4n33b1.jpg?width=1778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dad845ba082f03b67a8f5dd0ec9bd995bd7b3a92
Arcs of rainbows will soon be gracing the skies over the realms. Days of Color will soon be here, and with it, Sky’s annual celebration of the diversity that makes our shared world so vibrant.

An Updated Name for a Continuing Celebration

Each year in Sky, diversity, hope, and inclusion have been at the center of the event players have known as Days of Rainbow. We were excited to add big updates to it this year, especially because we know the event means a lot to so many players around the world. Because of that, we also wanted to touch on the name change from Days of Rainbow to Days of Color.
Expanding the event meant digging into the core themes that players have experienced since Days of Rainbow debuted in 2020. While the themes and messages haven’t changed, the new activities this year better capture what can be achieved only when all of our different colors can shine together.
The updated name highlights this, and as Days of Color, the event will continue to focus on diversity, hope, and making the world inside and outside of Sky more inclusive for everyone.

Revelry in the Clouds

The most colorful time of Sky’s year begins at 00:00 on June 1st, and runs until 23:59 on June 14th. Two event guide Spirits arrive in Home for the occasion who can teleport you to where the main festivities will be held: the secretive area high above Daylight Prairie, expanded specially for the occasion.
Within this vivid and colorfully decorated space, players can use their capes to charge eight platforms, which become available one by one each day of the event—a nearby closet and magical spell-lending geyser can help if you need to make a quick cape change. From the eighth day onward, all of the platforms can be charged with the aid of other players, and once they are, get ready for a brilliant display that shares Light and lifts all players to scenic and glittering heights.
https://preview.redd.it/e12cta86n33b1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dc35d2e16c592ee8f73a64bc8e3b892533ca1bb
Even if you stay near the platforms (or choose to visit Sky’s rare pupper), the area is perfect to decorate with color trail spells as you fly around! The spacious scenery also allows dozens, even hundreds of players to gather together using the festival tech featured in Season of Passage quests and the Season of AURORA concert. All the colorful avatars of fellow Sky children from across the world may just create a living rainbow of their own.
Outside of the event space, a double rainbow in Home provides colorful Light and a laid-back way to gather with friends. And of course, some themed daily quests point the way to places in the realms where you can appreciate the beauty of a rainbow (or, perhaps, the discovery that comes at the end of one).

Days of Color Currency

We mentioned earlier this year that we’re planning to make some changes to Sky’s economy this year, and as we announced in a recent blog post, event-specific currencies are one example of that plan in action. Days of Color will be the first event to feature event currency, which will hopefully make it easier than ever for players of all experience levels to unlock the newest Days of Color memento being introduced this year.
As you explore the event area and complete themed Daily Quests, keep an eye out for small iridescent, bubble-like spheres. Players can collect 8 every day during the event—and on days with themed Daily Quests, up to 12 each day! Explore a bit more on the weekends and you might find an extra bubble or two…
Note: The total number of event currency intended to be available during the event is affected by a bug. To offset that bug, we’ll add 8 event currency to the inventory of all players who log in during Days of Color. The only thing you need to do to receive this is to log into the game.

Colors That Make a Difference

This year we’re proud to share that we’ll once again be supporting The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people. The Trevor Project’s programs include crisis services, education, peer support for people around the world, and other efforts to ensure young people can have the chance to thrive no matter who they are. You can read about our 2022 campaign with the Trevor Project here.
We are making a donation to The Trevor Project during Pride month in association with the Days of Color campaign, and will reveal the total amount after Days of Color has concluded. We invite you to join us in supporting The Trevor Project this month!

2023.05.30 20:58 VirusOne2862 IMdB for books

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I didn't see any rules against it. As the title says, I'm looking for a website or app that functions similar to IMdB for books. My local library does a semi-annual sale where they give you a box full of books for $10. Because of that, my wife and I tend to buy books without doing much research on the content or series. Is there a website that gives spoiler free information about books and the proper order for book series reading?
