If you want to pack smarter, ask a meeting planner what they put in their suitcase. Here are tips from 15 planners: 1. Don’t Forget Your Wrap “My must-haves include a cashmere wrap in my carry-on; it’s cozy, stylish and essential. I typically travel with just a carry-on, but I always pack a foldable duffle bag. It’s perfect for any shopping or gifts that need to go in a checked bag — think olive oil, wine or something bulky. Finally, I always keep a swimsuit in my suitcase and a lightweight rain jacket or windbreaker for those unpredictable weather moments.” Shannon Ashley Fallon, senior event operations manager, Fidelity Investments 2. Packing Cubes Are a Game Changer “I started using packing cubes last year and they’re a game changer. They help to organize your outfits and compress items in your suitcase, which frees up space for more. By using packing cubes, I have been able to use my carry-on more frequently than in previous years.” Adrienne Tucker, senior meeting planner...
By: Prof. Remi Tailleux As is well known, atmospheric winds and ocean currents ultimately derive their energy from the Sun. In general, this involves a two-step process, whereby the solar energy is first transformed into potential energy (PE) before finding its way into kinetic energy (KE). Some aspects of this transformation remain mysterious and poorly understood, however, which are to do with the so-called `cooling paradox’. In the oceans, cooling at high latitudes creates dense waters that sink and give rise to the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The puzzle here is that the cooling decreases the PE of the oceans. How then can it be converted into KE? The cooling paradox has been a recurring source of confusion and controversies in energetic studies of the atmosphere and oceans, so much so that one of the most famous textbooks on buoyancy-driven flows (Turner, 1973) stays away from energetics altogether. It is only with the work of Lorenz ...
In a world of mass production and fast fashion, the charm and elegance of hand-crafted, unique pieces have an allure of their own. It’s an unparalleled experience to own a piece of work that has been meticulously crafted by expert hands, where every stroke of the carving tool tells a unique story. The exclusivity of a hand-carved design on a leather item is akin to owning an individual piece of art, one that not only serves a functional purpose but also offers an aesthetic appeal unlike any other. The Splendour of Hand-Carving Hand-carving leather is an intricate process that requires creativity, skill, and an eye for detail.
