![]() Paper streamers are a quick and easy alternative to paper chains – just string them up around the place for some instant festivity, and your decorating can be done in a matter of minutes! They’re also fun to make and can keep the kids occupied in the run-up to party day. Paper chains are traditional, pretty and biodegradable, and may be recyclable or compostable depending on the paper you use. Reusable bunting is increasingly popular and can be made of fabric to avoid using plastic. Buntingīunting is a string of smaller flags and can be used alongside, or instead of larger flags. Individual flags placed around your party area can be used in games and activities, customised with names and dates as a keepsake, or made reusable for future occasions. This is a great way to get some extra use out of your Christmas tree lights, too! Flags Use LED lights or LED ‘candles’ to be even more eco-friendly. LightsĪ string of fairy lights or a few well-placed lanterns can make a colourful substitute for balloons. ![]() If you’re planning to use plastics at your party – for decoration or for plates and cutlery etc – you might want to check our guide to which plastics can be recycled and which can’t. Here are our top 10 balloon decoration ideas. Are there any eco-friendly balloon alternatives? Many of the physical impacts of party balloon waste are very similar to the reasons why plastic is bad for the planet. In addition to all of this, there are potentially harmful chemicals used to make the balloon more elastic, to prevent it from fogging up, to make it fire resistant, to preserve it during long-term storage and, of course, to dye it a pretty colour. The physical part of the balloon may land out at sea, where it pollutes the oceans and can choke marine life if eaten, or it may come down on land and pose a choking hazard to wildlife. What is the physical impact of party balloon waste? This is mixed with other gases to create a lighter-than-air balloon helium alternative and reduce consumption of fresh, laboratory-grade helium gas. Some party suppliers now use balloon gas, which is a mixture of helium that has already been used in science or healthcare, and is no longer suitable for direct reuse in those disciplines. When they come down, the helium is lost – and because it is so light and does not react with other gases, it escapes Earth’s atmosphere completely, never to return. What impact do balloons have on the environment?īalloon release, for example at a baby gender reveal party, sends these latex or mylar foil balloons untethered into the atmosphere, with no idea where they will land. After 16 weeks in compost, freshwater or saltwater, no meaningful degradation was found, and the researchers concluded that in all three environments, balloons would continue to threaten wildlife if ingested. In February 2021, the Journal of Hazardous Materials published research that found latex balloons behave like plastic in the environment. The preservatives used mean even 100% latex balloons can take many months to degrade in landfill sites, or somewhere out in the environment. ![]() How long do biodegradable balloons take to decompose?īiodegradable balloons may sound like an eco friendly balloon option. Neither material makes for an especially eco friendly balloon, due to the length of time it takes for the latex or mylar to decompose – especially if released into the environment to land at random. Mylar is a plastic but is usually given a thin coat of aluminium, to create the shiny foil balloon decorations often filled with helium. In this article we’ll take a look at why, and list some of the environmentally friendly alternatives to balloon release and helium balloon decorations for your next party.Ī normal balloon is made of latex or mylar. If you’re concerned about protecting the environment, helium balloons are a definite no-no. Helium balloons are a lot of fun, whether they’re bobbing on the end of a piece of string tied to a child’s wrist, or turning people’s voices squeaky at a grown-up party.īut balloons can be harmful to the environment and helium is a very, very limited resource – and we can’t make more of it.

![]() When the audience ‘suspends their belief’, they forget that what they are watching is an actual construction and get swept up in the euphoric experience that encompasses the film (McMillin, 2006, p. The way in which musicals achieve this is by posing this idea that the characters in the film are ‘real’ people, and their problems and resolutions to those problems are also ‘real’. Musicals, with their utopian sensibility, served as a retreat from the real world and brought feelings of happiness, life, and energy to these people, even if it was only for a short time. People who lived during eras such as the Great Depression, and other times of recession, had suppressed feelings of exhaustion, dreariness, and hopelessness. Musicals were originally introduced in contemporary cinema by Hollywood in an attempt to create an escape for people during periods of economic and social instability. She successfully manipulates the conventions of the classical musical and pieces together an updated version that speaks directly to its contemporary audience. However, Director, Phyllida Lloyd, uses these themes and elements, as well as new techniques in soundtrack development, to make Mamma Mia! unique. Many of the themes and elements that encompass the film are typical of a classical Hollywood musical such as the presence of utopia and spontaneity, the emotional connection between the characters and their audience, and the constant premise of nostalgia. After reading her mother’s diary and revealing that she has three potential fathers, she proceeds to secretly invite all three of them to her wedding. The film portrays a young woman named Sophie, played by Amanda Seyfried, on the eve of her wedding, who is convinced that in order to feel complete she must find her father. ![]() And so it is assumed that the motion picture adaptation of Mamma Mia! would be just as popular and it was, expanding into one of the highest-grossing films of 2008 as well as receiving two Golden Globe nominations along with many other awards (Mamma Mia! 1990-2009). ![]() Since then, this Broadway production has become a global phenomenon which has entertained countless audiences, and still holds on strong as one of the most enjoyed and accepted musicals of this generation (Shenton, 2009). The film Mamma Mia! (Lloyd, 2008) is based on the extremely popular and successful Broadway musical which opened in 1999 in London. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Reverted breaking the synth output - hilburnĬoverts book stuff to super recipe - hilburn This release candidate has a bunch of little bugfixes, some tweaks, and a bunch of holiday cheer!

This release marks a feature freeze for Minechem v5. ![]() ![]() ![]() They Hornets will have his Non-Bird rights if they want to give him a modest raise on his minimum-salary deal - otherwise they’ll have to use one of the aforementioned exceptions to give him a bit more money. I don’t expect Smith to have a robust market due to his scoring struggles, but he has become a much better decision-maker and an outstanding point-of-attack defender. Oubre made $12.6MM in ‘22/23 and I think he’ll probably get something in the ballpark of that figure on annual basis this summer, perhaps on a two- or three-year deal. Both Oubre (multiple times) and Smith have spoken about wanting to remain with the Hornets, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they return, but that might depend on how the draft goes. The team’s unrestricted free agents include Kelly Oubre, Svi Mykhailiuk and Dennis Smith Jr. It will be interesting to see how his situation plays out. ![]() They’d certainly prefer to pay him less than that though, perhaps in the range of $14-16MM annually – I would bet on Washington’s agents looking for more money from a rival team if that’s as high as Charlotte goes. His next contract might be less lucrative than Bridges’, but I think the Hornets will match any offer sheet up to around $20MM per year. Washington is the other key restricted free agent for Charlotte. It’s hard to say how much he’ll get paid on his next contract given everything that’s happened - I still think he’s likely to get something in the $25MM+ per year range, but it probably won’t approach a max like it may have last offseason. The Hornets never withdrew his qualifying offer, so he’ll be a restricted free agent again in 2023 as long as the team reissues that QO this summer. He was set to be one of the top players on the market last summer but was arrested mere days before an enormous payday. Re-signing Bridges probably won’t be a popular choice, but it has seemed inevitable for a long time. If they went the other route, they’d only have the $7.6MM room exception to fill out the roster (on top of their cap space). Not only are the Hornets’ own free agents likely better than the players they could add with that theoretical cap room, but operating as an over-the-cap team also gives them access to the full mid-level exception ($12.2MM) and the bi-annual exception ($4.5MM). That makes sense, both from a financial and team-building perspective. President of basketball operations Mitch Kupchak already stated Charlotte doesn’t plan to be a major player in free agency and will instead look to retain its own free agents and add talent through the draft. However, the odds of that happening are extremely remote. If the Hornets choose to not bring back any of their players on non-guaranteed deals and renounce all of their free agents and other cap holds (besides their first-round picks), they could operate as a below-the-cap team and have more than $30MM in room to go after free agents. In addition to having a 12.5% chance at the top overall draft pick, the Hornets have four other selections in the 27-42 range, giving them some interesting short-term options to improve. Having said that, I don’t think the future is as gloomy as it might appear on the surface. They had the worst offensive rating in the league by a pretty significant margin, struggling to score from all over the court. Off-court problems were another factor, as Miles Bridges missed the entire season after being arrested for felony domestic violence charges, later pleading no contest.Įven when relatively healthy though, the Hornets didn’t perform up to expectations. Washington playing 70 or more games (73). Injuries to players up and down the roster certainly played a part in that decline, with only P.J. Unfortunately, the Hornets took a major step back this season from a win/loss perspective, going 27-55. ![]() 10 seed in the play-in tournament in ’21 and ’22, which led to former head coach James Borrego getting fired. ![]() However, the Hornets were blown out as the No. None of those 50-win seasons and just three of their playoff berths have come in the last 19 years since they rejoined the NBA as an expansion team.Īfter going 23-42 in 2019/20, it seemed like Charlotte was on an upward trajectory - the team increased its win total by 10 in both ’20/21 (33-39) and ’21/22 (43-39). They don’t exactly have a great track record of success – they’ve only recorded 50-plus wins three times in 33 seasons and made the postseason a total of 10 times.

It was very simple but I loved dinosaurs and the gameplay was good enough. Nanosaur 2 takes place shortly after the original Nanosaur, assuming that it has been completed successfully, when valuable dinosaur eggs are now in the hands of the Nanosaur race. This version of Nanosaur is licensed under CC NC-BY-SA 4.0.I played the first Nanosaur a bunch as a little kid and really liked it.

Your goal is to find and retrieve the missing dinosaur eggs, and to do that youll have to blow up a whole lotta stuff Youll battle other Nanosaurs and their defense systems, and collect. The first release of this port used a custom fork of Quesa to render the game’s 3D graphics. Later, I extended Pomme to port several other Pangea games from the Mac OS 7-9 era (see “other Pangea game ports” below). Style: was a 3rd person game that 2as slightly open world Graphics: realistic looking for the time, featured dinosaurs of various types running around the map. Release date: I think 90s or early 2000s. You can think of Pomme as a cross-platform reimagining of Carbon, albeit at a much smaller scope. Nanosaur Edit: it is nanosaur Platform: I want to say PC, but may have been Mac. To make it easier to port the game, I wrote an implementation of parts of the Macintosh Toolbox API, which I called “ Pomme”. ![]() The overall experience is intended to be faithful to the spirit of the original game, so modifications to the game’s design are out of the scope of this project. It introduces some modern comforts (such as support for arbitrary resolutions) and fixes some gameplay bugs. This port aims to provide the best way to experience Nanosaur today.
