![]() The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West opened in 2007. Skywalk: Get brave and step out onto the most thrilling way to view the Grand Canyon. There is a strategy to increase your chances of obtaining a Rim-To-Rim permit. Every year, thousands of people apply for a Rim-To-Rim permit. Other popular trails are Rim, South Kaibab, North Kaibab, Cape Final, Bright Angel Point, Hermit, Rainbow Rim and Grandview Trails. Popular Trails: Located at the South Rim, The Bright Angel Trail is one of the most popular trails. The Desert View Drive is 22 miles long and offers better views of the Colorado River and its rapids than Hermit Road. Any other time, you must take the park’s shuttle buses. Scenic Drives: Hermit Road is a seven-mile drive around the canyon rim and you can do it in your own vehicle from Dec. The Colorado River winds through the Grand Canyon. The Toroweap Overlook is one of the most picturesque spots at the Grand Canyon but it’s only accessible by dirt roads with a four-wheel drive vehicle. Top lookout points of the North Rim: Cape Royal, Point Imperial, Ken Patrick Trail, Bright Angel Point and the Grand Canyon Lodge. If you are looking for less crowded areas of the Grand Canyon, head to the North Rim as it sees about one-tenth of the visitors that the South Rim sees. The North Rim: It closes in mid-October and reopens in mid-May every year. ![]() Top lookout points on the South Rim: Lipan Point, Mather Point, Bright Angel Trail (most popular), Hopi Point and Ooh Aah Point (via South Kaibab Trail). The South Rim: It’s open year round and is the most visited section of the canyon. There are 277 river miles that traverse through the canyon. It’s a mile long from top to bottom at its deepest and 18 miles wide at its broadest. A spectacular marvel! Awe-inspiring, and stunning! And, it’s right in our own backyard. It’s one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. The Grand Canyon is one of those bucket list items not just for Arizonans or even Americans, but for people from all over the world. Below are our top picks for your bucket list. You could live here your whole life and still not have seen all of its beauty. I'm eager to return someday to explore the other sections in greater depth.Arizona isn’t just desert. We embarked on a short trail that rewarded us with stunning vistas.Ĭanyonlands National Park is another gem in Utah's collection of natural wonders. Our journey culminated at Big Spring Overlook, though I must admit I didn't spot a spring. Our stop at Wooden Shoe Arch was a highlight the arch truly resembled an old wooden shoe, and I was grateful for my long telephoto lens, which allowed me to capture its beauty from a distance. Armed with our cameras, we took the time to capture close-up shots of these remarkable drawings.Ĭontinuing into the park, we were treated to breathtaking views along the main road. As we pulled into Newspaper Rock, we were pleasantly surprised to find only a few people appreciating the extensive array of petroglyphs. ![]() The descriptions and photographs we had seen convinced us of its natural beauty.ĭespite our limited time, we thoroughly enjoyed The Needles. However, we couldn't help but wish we had the opportunity to visit The Islands section as well. Intrigued, we decided to explore The Needles district, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. While I was short on time and couldn't explore all the sections of Canyonlands, a friendly group we met at Capitol Reef highly recommended visiting the park, specifically mentioning the impressive Petroglyphs at Newspaper Rock. My first visit to Canyonlands came right after exploring Arches National Park. There are a couple of obstacles requiring a bit of a scramble in wire-pass but the average person should have no problems getting over/under them. It is the second most painful sting known to man- were you to get stung- leave them alone and don't slap at them and you'll be fine. We saw several Tarantula hawks (bee like insects) flying in the canyon. You are realistically going to log between 5-6 miles on this hike, but it doesn't seem like it because there is something beautiful around every corner. It is a 1.7 (fitness tracker/apple watch) mile hike to get to the actual canyon, and 1.7 miles to get back to your car in Utah 100 degree sun, so plan accordingly. Passes are bought online the day before your hike. The pass to hike this section is $6 per person, and managed by the state of Utah. I don't know what Lydia is talking about. The road to get here is rough, dusty, long, washed out, bumpy, and generally awful, but once you get to the terminus it's great. Both the wire-pass and Buckskin gulch are epic as far as scenery, being photogenic, and great adventures.

![]() The 2021 Fire HD 10's screen may impress at this price, but its speakers don't always match. Alas, you need to tap the power button to turn on the panel. I'd also like it if the Fire HD 10's panel would wake upon tapping it. Not only is navigating the Fire OS home screens as snappy as usual, but I didn't see any lag when I pinched and pulled to zoom in and out of photos. The Amazon Fire HD 10's touchscreen has gotten a bit speedier since I tested the 2019 model. As I watched an air raid drop even more bombs in The Tomorrow War, the explosions only darkened slightly when viewed from 45 degrees to the left and right. The display on the Fire HD 10 may be a bit reflective (most tablets have this issue), but that doesn't interfere with viewing angles. Rippling water below the soldiers looked crisp and clear, and reminded me how much I could use a trip to the beach. the giant explosions from supporting fire taking out these monsters looked bright and strong. Watching the Prime Video movie The Tomorrow War, the dangerous red smoke behind Chris Pratt rendered accurately, while the sickly green and grey 'Spike' aliens also appeared correctly. Plus, this is the only Amazon tablet with a Full HD (1920 x 1200-pixel) screen, so if screen quality matters to you, don't look at the Fire HD 8 or Fire 7. Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Displayįor a $150 tablet, the Fire HD 10's display is colorful and bright. While both are reversible, Apple's port is far from universal, while USB-C is only growing in popularity. The Fire HD 10 (2021) can lord its USB-C port over the iPad, which is still using the Lightning port. The Fire HD 10 Plus (9.7 x 6.5 x 0.4 inches, 16.5 ounces) is a hair heavier, while the Apple iPad (2020) (9.8 x 6.8 x 0.3 inches, 17.6 ounces) is both a tad thinner and heavier. Then, you'll notice a bit of flex in its shell - mostly in the center-back part. Testing the Fire HD 10 at home, I can say it feels sturdy unless you grip it super-tight. It's sold in black, denim (the dark blue seen here), lavender and olive. The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) is as simple as tablets get, with a matte plastic shell on one side and a glossy screen on the other. This year, Amazon's got some new optional upgrades: the $179 Fire HD 10 (2021) Plus which has wireless charging and 4GB of RAM (upgraded from the 3GB in the entry level model), and the $299 (currently $249 on sale) Fire HD 10 Plus Productivity Bundle, which includes a detachable Bluetooth keyboard case and a 12-month subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal.Ĭan't decide between Fire tablets? Then check out our rundown of the Fire 7 vs Fire HD 8 vs Fire HD 10. ![]() Amazon's also got a $225 bundle that takes the entry-level Fire HD 10 and adds a folding cover case you'd use when watching video, two screen protectors and a 15W charger for faster refueling.Īs always, Amazon also sells a $199 Fire HD 10 Kids Edition, and that extra $50 gets you a 2-year no-questions-asked warranty, a protective case with kickstand and a year of Amazon Kids+ (aka FreeTime Unlimited). But then, it launched two exciting new benefits for travelers: First, it added new language to its popular personal cards that requires cardholders to wait at least 48 months between earning sign-up bonuses on the same product. ![]() The last month was a busy one for a number of key loyalty programs and card issuers.Ĭapital One was probably the most active.

You can read our full breakdown of this methodology in our explainer post, but we've utilized more than 23,000 data points on flights around the world to better estimate the value that you should aim to get from your rewards with Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. airline loyalty programs, and we've also tweaked our approach to valuing the major transferable credit card currencies. However, we have now launched a new, data-driven methodology for the top six U.S. Historically, TPG has valued points and miles based on a combination of the price at which we would purchase the miles, award costs in the program (factoring in availability and fees) and our own expertise in the inner workings of the programs. Still, some rewards are clearly worth more than others, and my goal is to give you a sense of how they stack up. It also depends on your travel goals and how well you can maximize a particular loyalty currency. The true answer varies from point to point and person to person. If a member whose mileage is redeemed is a minor (under 19 years of age), the following documents are additionally required to issue an Award Ticket: proof of identity of the member whose mileage is redeemed, proof of identity of a legal representative of the minor, and SKYPASS Award Application signed by both the member and the legal representative.One of the questions people often ask me is, "How much is a point or mile worth?".If a beneficiary or a third party visits a branch office, the following documents are required to issue an Award Ticket: proof of identity of the member whose mileage is redeemed, proof of identity of the beneficiary/third party, and SKYPASS Award Application signed by both the member and the beneficiary/third party. ![]() If a member visits a branch office, an Award Ticket can be issued by redeeming the member’s own mileage upon presenting proof of identity.A member can also issue Award ticket for himself/herself by pooling registered family members’ mileage.

To achieve this, an Azure Cloud Services application shouldn't maintain state in the file system of its own VMs. One of the most important is that applications built on this technology should be written to run correctly when any web or worker role instance fails. The PaaS nature of Azure Cloud Services has other implications, too. Unlike Virtual Machines, it has an agent inside each web and worker role, and so it's able to start new VMs and application instances when failures occur. But Azure Cloud Services also detects failed VMs and applications, not just hardware failures. Like Virtual Machines, it detects a failed physical server and restarts the VMs that were running on that server on a new machine. ![]() MonitoringĪzure Cloud Services also provides monitoring. This switch between staging and production can be done with no downtime, which lets a running application be upgraded to a new version without disturbing its users. When the developer is ready to make the application live, they use the Azure portal to swap staging with production. A developer first uploads the application to the platform's staging area. If the load decreases, you can shut down those instances and stop paying for them.Īn Azure Cloud Services application is typically made available to users via a two-step process. If your application needs to handle a greater load, you can ask for more VMs, and Azure creates those instances. You still choose what size those backing VMs should be, but you don't explicitly create them yourself. Instead, you provide a configuration file that tells Azure how many of each you'd like, such as "three web role instances" and "two worker role instances." The platform then creates them for you. With Azure Cloud Services, you don't create virtual machines. Management of the platform it runs on, including deploying new versions of the operating system, is handled for you. All you have to do is deploy your application. In PaaS, by contrast, it's as if the environment already exists. You're responsible for managing much of this world, by doing things such as deploying new patched versions of the operating system in each VM. Then you deploy your application into this environment. With IaaS, such as Azure Virtual Machines, you first create and configure the environment your application runs in. The platform scales and deploys the VMs in an Azure Cloud Services application in a way that avoids a single point of hardware failure.Įven though applications run in VMs, it's important to understand that Azure Cloud Services provides PaaS, not infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Users access the application through a single public IP address, with requests automatically load balanced across the application's VMs. (This communication might use Azure Service Bus or Azure Queue storage.)Īs the preceding figure suggests, all the VMs in a single application run in the same cloud service. A more complex application might use a web role to handle incoming requests from users, and then pass those requests on to a worker role for processing. Worker role: Does not use IIS, and runs your app standalone.įor example, a simple application might use just a single web role, serving a website. ![]() Web role: Automatically deploys and hosts your app through IIS. The only difference between the two is how your role is hosted on the VMs: There are two types of Azure Cloud Services roles. Unless you need the additional control options, it's typically quicker and easier to get a web application up and running in the Web Apps feature of App Service compared to Azure Cloud Services. More control also means less ease of use. You can install your own software on VMs that use Azure Cloud Services, and you can access them remotely. However, you have more control over the VMs. In the same way that App Service is hosted on virtual machines (VMs), so too is Azure Cloud Services. ![]() Like Azure App Service, this technology is designed to support applications that are scalable, reliable, and inexpensive to operate. New deployments should use the new Azure Resource Manager based deployment model Azure Cloud Services (extended support).Īzure Cloud Services is an example of a platform as a service (PaaS).

And so it is 97% looks like it is right about here. One that you would see if you were say taking AP Statistics. What z gives us fills us,įills in 97% of the area? So I got a z-table. So that out of the way let's look that up. Right over there as well, then I would have 3% available there, and then the true area But if I find this z, but if I were to stop it This point of view, this cumulative area, what I really wanna do is find the z that is leaving 3% open over here, which would mean the z that So when I look at a traditional z-table, that is viewing it from Not shaded in over here and 3% not shaded in over here. But remember this is going to be symmetric on the left and the right, so you're gonna want 3% Where did I get that from? Well 100% minus 94% is 6%. So one way to think about this, we wanna find the critical value, we wanna find the z, that leaves not 6% unshaded in, but leaves 3% unshaded in. For a given z, they'll say, what is the total area going all the way from negative infinity up to including z standard deviations above, above the mean? So when you look up a lot of z-tables, they will give you, they Because a lot of z-tables will actually do something like this. If you're using a calculator function what yourĬalculator function does. And you should alwaysīe careful which type of z-table you're using or Now all we have to really do is look it up on a z-table, but even there we have to be careful. So this distance right over here, where this is 94%, this number of standard deviations, that is z star right over here. But how many standardĭeviations above and below the mean in order to capture 94% of the probability? 94% of the area. It which would actually be our true population parameter, which we do not know. Needed to think about is, assuming that the samplingĭistribution is roughly normal, and this is the mean of But the key question here is, what is our z star? And what we really Times the standard error of the statistic. ![]() But we don't know that, so we multiply that Of the sample proportions, well then you actually have to know the population parameter. So plus or minus some critical value times and what we doīecause in order to actually calculate the true standard deviation of the sampling distribution We're gonna think about which z star because that'sĮssentially the question, the critical value. So it's that one sample proportion that she was able to calculate, plus or minus z star, and Now in this particular situation, our statistic is p hatįrom this one sample that Elena made. That times the standard deviation of the statistic, of the statistic. Many standard deviations for the samplingĭistribution do we wanna go above or beyond? So the number of standardĭeviations we wanna go, that is our critical value, and then we multiply ![]() Minus around that statistic, plus or minus around that statistic, and then we say okay how ![]() So we take our statistic, statistic, and then we go plus or It could be if we're trying toĮstimate the population mean. Let me just write this in general form, even if we're not talkingĪbout a proportion. I keep doing this over and over again, that 90, that roughlyĩ4% of these intervals are going to overlap with our Interval around that one, that 94% that roughly as That's the confidence interval around that one, maybe if we were to do it again, that's the confidence And remember a confidence interval, at a 94% confidence level means that if we were to keep doing this, and if we were to keepĬreating intervals around these statistics, so maybe But then we also wannaĬonstruct a confidence interval. This case it's a sample, a random sample of 200 computers, we take a random sample, and then we estimate this by calculating the sample proportion. We don't know what that is,īut we try to estimate it. Proportion of computers that have a defect. Remember, the whole pointīehind confidence intervals are we have some true population parameter, in this case it is the Little reminder of what a critical value is. You to pause this video, let me just give you a Star should Elena use to construct this confidence interval? So before I even ask A random sample of 200Ĭomputers shows that 12 computers have the defect. That Elena wants to build a one-sample z interval toĮstimate what proportion of computers produced at aįactory have a certain defect. ![]() By registering to bid and participate in a Propstore Auction, you will be deemed to have read and agreed to be bound by these Conditions and the accompanying Buyer’s Guide, as set forth in the catalog for the Auction and online at In the event of any conflict between the Conditions and the Buyer’s Guide, the Conditions shall take precedence.

The temperature of the gas is a controlled variable. In this case, the independent variable is the gas’s volume, and the dependent variable is the pressure of the gas. On the other hand, to study how the temperature, volume, and pressure of a gas are related, you might set up an experiment in which you change the volume of a gas, while keeping the temperature constant, and see how this affects the gas’s pressure. So, for example, if you were testing a new drug to treat Alzheimer’s disease, the independent variable might be whether or not the patient received the new drug, and the dependent variable might be how well participants perform on memory tests. Experiments are set-up to learn more about how the independent variable does or does not affect the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the outcome of interest-the outcome that depends on the experimental set-up. In an experiment, the independent variables are the factors that the experimenter manipulates. To learn more about how this provisionality can be misinterpreted, visit a section of the Science toolkit. To learn more about provisionality in science, visit our page describing how science builds knowledge. It’s important for the public to recognize that, while provisionality is a fundamental characteristic of scientific knowledge, scientific ideas supported by evidence are trustworthy. Even worse, ideas supported by masses of evidence are sometimes discounted by the public or the press because scientists talk about those ideas in tentative terms. ![]() Unfortunately, this means that they are sometimes misinterpreted as being wishy-washy or unsure of their ideas. Because they are trained to do this for their scientific writing, scientist often do the same thing when talking to the press or a broader audience about their ideas. When scientists write about their ideas in journal articles, they are expected to carefully analyze the evidence for and against their ideas and to be explicit about alternative explanations for what they are observing. Scientists often seem tentative about their explanations because they are aware that those explanations could change if new evidence or perspectives come to light. Why do scientists often seem tentative about their explanations? ![]() To learn more about how science really works and to see a more accurate representation of this process, visit The real process of science. ![]() Teachers may ask that students use the format of the scientific method to write up the results of their investigations (e.g., by reporting their question, background information, hypothesis, study design, data analysis, and conclusion), even though the process that students went through in their investigations may have involved many iterations of questioning, background research, data collection, and data analysis and even though the students’ “conclusions” will always be tentative ones. In fact, the Scientific Method more accurately describes how science is summarized after the fact - in textbooks and journal articles - than how scientific research is actually performed. ![]() Although the Scientific Method captures the core logic of science (testing ideas with evidence), it misrepresents many other aspects of the true process of science - the dynamic, nonlinear, and creative ways in which science is actually done. The “scientific method” is traditionally presented in the first chapter of science textbooks as a simple, linear, five- or six-step procedure for performing scientific investigations. ** Once the per book fee is deducted from the "Sub-Total", the "Amount We Pay You" is added to your account.
