![]() Somewhere during this you will need to purchase the double display stand, but as soon as you get all the toppings, upgrade to the three-compartment storage case. You can tell when things are getting sluggish. One you have one tray, continue to upgrade Jill’s speed. ![]() Wait until you have the $4100 necessary to buy them all at once. The next upgrade is all of the toppings, one tray at a time. At the start of each level, make sure to reposition the equipment for maximum efficiency. You should be able to accomplish this by the end of France. Once they are at the gold level, you can make even a three-layer cake very quickly. You don’t need three ovens and three frosters. ![]() Then a FULL upgrade on ONE frosting machine ($2000), then ONE oven ($3000). The next upgrade is Jill’s shoes, to the $1200 level. Forget the phone, the TV and the beverage maker. From then on, all your cakes will be served at a 5-star rating. The first upgrade is the cookie maker at the gold level. The club in the Prehistoric level enables you to serve two-layer cakes with the most expensive topper to four customers, most with double orders. The dragons at the China level keep reordering, giving you an opportunity to increase your funds. Start with Egypt, then France, England, China, and lastly Prehistoric. Beginner, Intermediate, Expert….įinally got through Cake Mania 3! Here is the strategy. The least they could have done was make it where you could play different levels of difficulty. Wish I hadn’t bought it,but like everyone else was looking forward to version 3. If you are fortunate enough to make it through these five there is a 6th outerspace world that I hear will make you throw the computer out a window. Not so me, I will just pitch it to the junk files if I get too irritated. It’s as if they meant for the game not to be won thinking we’d play forever, day after day. I have restarted the game about 5 times changing things, its always that spot I get stuck in, (and from various posts of different sites is where everyone gets stuck) so I just give up! ALL the upgrades are much too expensive. Speaking of which I have changed the batteries in that 4 times and still not through the third level. Its rather jerky, and then I tense up and makes it worse, and by the time I have had enough my whole arm aches from the grip on the mouse. I turned off the 3D mode and the high detail and she still moves like shes in quicksand until you get at least one pair of the expensive shoes, and then shes not just a whole lot better. I do not find anything fun about this game, and even on my high performance computer Jill just slugs around, unlike in the first two where the shoes actually made a difference. These are the guys who change things, or block the others from ordering (as with the soldier character in the france level) The trick is to wait on ANYONE with a blue circle first. Then if the third level is the one with the witch or the eqyptian guy who changes orders it’s even worse. ![]() Day four is the pits on the third level no matter where you start from, I have two gold ovens and a gold froster (refused to get two because that just irritates and confuses me more) The three tiered cakes are why, they start on the third level you play.

![]() These activities are designed for students to read on-level text accurately and fluently to support comprehension. We’ve expanded our use of diverse and multidimensional characters so we can reflect diverse student populations and more students can see themselves in the work.Ĭore5 still includes seven Passage Fluency Activities across grades 2–5. This year, we’re introducing eight revised and updated K–2 comprehension activities with 28 new and enhanced stories that will promote engagement, academic-language development, and an inclusive understanding of the world. ![]() We know how important it is to provide a learner and educator experience that validates and affirms diverse experiences and that avoids perpetuating or endorsing negative biases or stereotypes. That’s why we’re sharing highlights of what’s new with our expanded suite of products and services and why we prioritized these updates for the 2021–2022 school year.Īs students return to school, we expect there will be some adjustments from the social and emotional impact of the last year. We’re committed to providing support for administrators, teachers, parents, and students as we continue into another year of change in the classroom.

The word sounded like it meant I was either a newlywed homemaker or an octogenarian. I brushed past the comment, slightly embarrassed. I was “nesting,” a coworker told me when I described my winter vacation once back at work. But the truth is that I’ve spent most of my time off baking and cooking, which not one person mentioned. ![]() I asked friends on Facebook for tips on how they go about it and I now have a list of prompts as a resource when I’m feeling uninspired. Late last year a mentor suggested that instead of focusing on my goals for 2023 I focus on infusing a sense of fun and beauty into my life. I am just different and I still don’t know how to name it. It’s like I discovered I’m actually an introvert, I recently shared with a friend, except the truth is not that simple. I feel myself wanting more quiet, more time one-on-one with a friend, more time to read poetry and be quiet and connect. In the Before Times I would have said, going out and singing karaoke, a night of dancing in the East Village or learning how to Vogue sounded like fun, and they still do, but I have a hard time grasping how to incorporate that in my post-pandemic life. I even wrote a goal to send you at least one newsletter per month, and no sooner were the words saved by Google than a paralysis of not knowing what to write set in.įun, or a lack thereof, has come up repeatedly over the past few years. ![]() The sheet feels reflective of many of my personal development and adulting goals, but somehow the deliverables still feel somewhat authoritarian and severe. Little by little, I added goals with prompts like “be healthy” (lower my blood sugar levels), “stay healthy” (schedule and show up to all of the doctor appointments recommended for a 48-year-old woman), “be IRL” (aka be less URL, meaning put down the phone and the internet), and honor self-loving boundaries (learn to listen to my needs and say no). I was sold and set out to interpret the format for my own use. It’s hard to unknow what you now know.Īt the start of this year, I came across a friendly acquaintance’s goal setting spreadsheet, a personal interpretation of the OKR (objectives and key results) system I use in my professional life. You see? I’ve figured it out.” I miss the naive certainty and drive of it all. Those years felt challenging at times, but I could point to mile markers and say, “This, this is where I achieved. In the tail end of that suspension last year, I felt at times unmoored, frequently searching for a new tool, program or guru who could show me the way back to the velocity of the years 2008-2019. I often felt suspended in this equal parts traumatic and fulfilling time, a time I struggled to quantify through previous markers of success. I required the slowness–the “ wintering ,” as coined by author Katherine May–but as I step into this year I find myself anxious to figure out what’s next and frustrated by the lack of answers. In many ways, the past few years reflected a surprisingly welcome pause of that cycle. Life was filled with the frenetic energy of achievement and accolades, and it was easy to think that the same velocity would continue throughout my life. The last time I embarked on a similar cycle, my life took off along a road of fast-moving growth filled with external validation and prosperity. My 2023 horoscope forecasts a new 12 year cycle of expansion and success. ![]() Tannin Restaurant (French baked goods & more). ![]() Stone Cloud Garden/Bob's Wife's Soap (Soap, herbs & more).Sapo de Solis (Soaps, candles & body care items).Sandy Ridge Bakery (Breads & maple syrup).MaMa C's Sauces (Pickles, salsas, marinara & more).Lee-N-T’s Sweets-N-Treats (muffins, pies, quickbreads).Landylion Studios (Handmade baby shoes & more).Kim's Country Kitchen/Udderly Magic LLC (Baked goods).Jennifur's Crafting Creations (Knitted & crocheted goods).Januts LLC (Peanut confections & mixes).Home Made Pork Rinds (Pork rinds, spices & more).Hickory Knoll Creamery (Farmstead cow & goat cheese). ![]()
![]() All three rivers intersect here as part of the Pearl River Estuary. Qingdao is an important hub for trade along the New Silk Road and this is arguably what drove Hong Kong-based shipping logistics company SITC International to inaugurate its Global Shipping Logistics Center near the port.Location: The port of Guangzhou is situated at the intersection of the most important rivers of Dongjiang, Xijiang and Beijiang in S China. Through January to October of 2021, this major port on the Yellow Sea handled 19,870,000 TEU, increasing 10.3% compared to January to October 2020. Staying in the same spot as in our original list of the top five ports in China, Qingdao Port continues to be the fifth busiest port in China. The terminal is set to be located in Section C of the port and zero emissions is meant to be achieved through the construction of a green energy supply. In August this year, the Tianjin Port Group announced it is to build the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) zero-carbon terminal. Tianjin is one of the ports in China heavily dedicated to making operations greener. Handling a total of 17,600,000 TEU, the port saw a year-on-year increase of just over 13%. The Port of Tianjin, the largest port in Northern China and main maritime gateway to the country’s capital, has seen the second-largest increase in containers through this period. One such example of this can be seen in their signing of a ‘Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement for Construction of World-Class Ports’ alongside the Tianjin Port Group in 2020. ![]() Xiamen is just one of the ports also promoting the acceleration of innovation in China’s maritime sector. Handling a year-to-date total of 10 million TEU, the port saw a 6.4% increase in throughput through these first ten months. Located along the Jiulongjiang River in southern Fujian, the Port of Xiamen is a very important deep-water port to the Chinese economy. ![]() This also marks the largest year-on-year increase on this list. In the first ten months of 2021, the port reached a total of 4,770,000 TEU in throughput, increasing a massive 18.6% compared to the same period the previous year. Overall, a year-to-date total of 4,310,000 TEU has been handled at the port.īeibuwan Port, also known as Beibu Gulf Port, is a seaport in the Guangxi province of China owned by the Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group. The deep-water seaport on the coast of the city of Rizhao experienced an 8% year-on-year in container throughput in the first ten months of 2021. The Port of Rizhao has also seen recent success with growing container handling figures. One of the drivers behind digitalisation at the port includes the implementation of Navis N4 TOS at its Lianyungang New Oriental International Terminals (LNOIT) back in 2019. Lianyungang, located near the mouth of the Qiangwei River in the Northern Jiangsu province of China, has celebrated recent success with a 4% year-on-year increase in October, handling 4,180,000 TEU. With container handling figures for the year so far announced, it gives us a very clear idea of what ports will be leading the charge into 2022. ![]() This demonstrates an increase of 8.4% compared to the same period in 2020. While we are still awaiting the final figures from the Ningbo Shipping Exchange for the final two months of the year, it is already clear to see that China has had a very productive 2021.Ĭhinese ports handled a total of 235.48 million TEU for the first ten months, period ending 30 October 2021. Previously, we have counted down the Five Busiest Ports in Europe, the UK, and Southeast Asia. PTI is revitalising its series which gives the spotlight to the biggest and best-performing ports from across the world. As the year draws to a close, PTI has taken on the task of counting down the top ten ports in China in 2021. |
