Don Mueang International Airport, Thailand (DMK)
tripscan top
Are you an avgeek with a mean handicap? Then it’s time to tee off in Bangkok, where Don Mueang International Airport has an 18-hole golf course between its two runways. If you’re nervous from a safety point of view, don’t be — players at the Kantarat course must go through airport-style security before they hit the grass. Oh, you meant safety on the course? Just beware of those flying balls, because there are no barriers between the course and the runways. Players are, at least, shown a red light when a plane is coming in to land so don’t get too distracted by the game.

Although Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is Bangkok’s main airport these days — it opened in 2006 —Don Mueang, which started out as a Royal Thai Air Force base in 1914, remains Bangkok’s budget airline hub, with brands including Thai Air Asia and Thai Lion Air using it as their base. Although you’re more likely to see narrowbodies these days, you may just get lucky — in 2022, an Emirates A380 made an emergency landing here. Imagine the views from the course that day.

Planning a trip to Jarlshof, the extraordinarily well-preserved Bronze Age settlement towards the southern tip of Shetland? You may need to build in some extra time. The ancient and Viking-era ruins, called one of the UK’s greatest archaeological sites, sit just beyond one of the runways of Sumburgh, Shetland’s main airport — and reaching them means driving, cycling or walking across the runway itself.

There’s only one road heading due south from the capital, Lerwick; and while it ducks around most of the airport’s perimeter, skirting the two runways, the road cuts directly across the western end of one of them. A staff member occupies a roadside hut, and before take-offs and landings, comes out to lower a barrier across the road. Once the plane is where it needs to be, up come the barriers and waiting drivers get a friendly thumbs up.

Amata Kabua International Airport, Marshall Islands (MAJ)

Imagine flying into Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands in Micronesia. You’re descending down, down, and further down towards the Pacific, no land in sight. Then you’re suddenly above a pencil-thin atoll — can you really be about to land here? Yes you are, with cars racing past the runway no less, matching you for speed.

Majuro’s Amata Kabua International Airport gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “water landing”. Its single runway, just shy of 8,000ft, is a slim strip of asphalt over the sandbar that’s barely any wider than the atoll itself — and the island is so remote that when the runway was resurfaced, materials had to be transported from the Philippines, Hong Kong and Korea, according to the constructors. “Lagoon Road” — the 30-mile road that runs from top to toe on Majuro — skims alongside the runway.
Don’t think about pulling over, though — there’s only sand and sea on one side, and that runway the other.

How Are Electoral Votes Calculated?
The United States electoral system can often seem intricate and shrouded in complexity, particularly for those not deeply versed in political science. A key component of this system is the Electoral College, which is paramount in determining the outcome of presidential elections. Understanding how electoral votes are calculated not only demystifies the election process, but also reinforces the importance of civic engagement in democratic systems.
In this article, I aim to elucidate the method by which electoral votes are assigned and distributed among the states, discuss the implications of this system, and answer some frequently asked questions.
The Structure of the Electoral College
The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, with a majority of 270 votes needed to win the presidency. Each state’s number of electors is equal to the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress. Consequently, all states are represented by at least three electors—two Senators and at least one Representative.
Table 1: Distribution of Electoral Votes by State

Texas

Wyoming

576,851


Total
538



This electoral vote distribution is recalibrated every ten years following the census, as population shifts can lead to changes in congressional representation.
How Are Electoral Votes Calculated?
The process can be broken down into a few simple steps:

Census and Apportionment: Every ten years, the U.S. conducts a census that counts the population of each state. The data collected from the census not only informs federal funding but also the apportionment of congressional seats and, subsequently, electoral votes.

State Allocation: Based on the apportionment from the census, states are assigned electoral votes proportional to their respective populations. For instance, larger states like California and Texas have more electoral votes compared to smaller states like Wyoming and Vermont.

State Electoral Processes: Generally, states employ a winner-takes-all system, where the candidate who wins the majority of the popular vote within that state receives all of its electoral votes. This is the case in 48 states, with Maine and Nebraska being the exceptions, employing a proportional distribution of votes.

Certification: After the presidential election, each state verifies and certifies its results, affirming the electoral votes won by each candidate. These certified votes are then submitted to Congress.


The Role of Public Opinion
It is essential to recognize that while the electoral vote system is designed to represent the population, it also reflects the political landscape of each state. The winner-takes-all system can lead to controversial outcomes, where the popular vote winner may not secure the presidency due to the distribution of electoral votes.

“Elections are about choices, but they are also about rules. The rules that govern how votes are counted and how electoral votes are allocated can shape the choices we have.” – Anonymous

Implications of Electoral Votes
The Electoral College system has significant implications for campaign strategies and voter engagement. Candidates focus on swing states—those in which no single candidate has overwhelming support—rather than concentrating solely on areas with dense populations. This results in political resources being allocated unevenly, potentially leading to voter disenfranchisement in areas considered "safe" for one party or the other.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How many electoral votes does my state have?
To determine your state’s electoral votes, refer to the current apportionment table—remember that this is influenced by the most recent census.
2. What happens if no candidate receives 270 electoral votes?
If no candidate wins the necessary 270 electoral votes, the election is decided by the House of Representatives, where each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top three candidates.
3. Why do some states have more electoral votes than others?
Electoral votes are based on the number of congressional seats assigned to each state, which in turn depend on the state's population as measured in the census.
4. Why do we use the Electoral College instead of a direct popular vote?
The Founding Fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president by a vote in Congress and by popular vote. It was designed to balance the influence of populous states with less populous ones.
5. How does the winner-takes-all system affect elections?
This system can lead to a discrepancy between the popular vote and electoral results, as it concentrates campaign attention on battleground states rather than reflecting the nationwide popular support for a candidate.
Conclusion
Understanding how electoral votes are calculated and allocated is essential for grasping the broader context of the American electoral system. The interplay between population, political strategy, and state representation shapes the electoral landscape in complex ways. By exploring these mechanisms, I hope to encourage more informed and engaged citizens, fostering a deeper appreciation for the democratic process that shapes our nation.
Informed citizens are essential for a healthy democracy. I encourage everyone to partake in discussions about their electoral rights and responsibilities, as these discussions are vital for maintaining the integrity of our political institutions.

A seabed of shipwrecks
rutorforum24 to
The Great Lakes have the most shipwrecks per square mile among all bodies of water in the world, largely due to the high shipping traffic in the 19th century and the lake’s volatile weather. Researchers know about the wrecks because reporting any commercial ship that sails on the lakes is required; from the early 19th century to the 20th century, about 40,000 ships sailed the Great Lakes, Baillod said.

There are about 6,000 commercial vessels on the seabed of the Great Lakes, lost to storms or other issues. In Lake Michigan alone, there are over 200 shipwrecks waiting to be discovered, according to Baillod, who has created a database of these ships over the past three decades.
https://rutorforum24to.com
rutor сайт
Wrecks in the Great Lakes have been found since the 1960s, but in recent years the rate of these finds has accelerated greatly, in part due to media attention, clearer waters and better technology, Baillod said. Some wreck hunters and media outlets call this the golden age for shipwreck discoveries.

“There’s a lot more shipwreck awareness now on the Great Lakes, and people are looking down in the water at what’s on the bottom,” he added. Part of the reason it’s easier to see in the water is thanks to quagga mussels — an invasive species that was introduced in the 1990s. The mollusks have filtered most of the lakes, turning them from their old greenish hue, which allowed for only a few feet of visibility, to clear blue. Now, the lakes have visibility of up to 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30.5 meters), Baillod explained.

“Tourism has popped up around paddle boarding and kayaking, and these shipwrecks are visible from the surface because the water is so clear,” he added.

And then there are advancements in technology. “Side-scan sonar used to cost $100,000 back in 1980,” he said. “The one we used to find this (shipwreck) was just over $10,000. They’ve really come down in price.”

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has a project in the works to map the bottom of the Great Lakes in high resolution by 2030. If the organization succeeds, all shipwrecks will be found, Baillod said.

In the meantime, Baillod said he hopes he and his team will continue to discover missing shipwrecks from his database in the coming years and bring along citizen scientists for the ride: “I keep looking, and I don’t doubt that we’ll keep finding.”

From beaches to golf courses: The world’s most unusual airport runways
трипскан
When it comes to travel, wherever you are in the world, some things never change. McDonald’s is always McDonald’s. A hotel lobby is always a hotel lobby. An inflight safety demonstration is always a safety demonstration, and an airport runway is an airport runway: a long, clean-lined strip of asphalt free of all external interference; a sterile environment that could be anywhere on the planet.

Or maybe not. Because when it comes to airport runways, once the safety side is taken care of, in a few parts of the world, things get a little inventive. Maybe you’ll land on a manmade island in the middle of the sea. Maybe you’ll wave at golfers on the 18-hole course between the two runways. Or maybe you’ll hit the beach faster than expected — by stepping off the airplane onto the sand.

From runways you can drive across to weird and wonderful airport locations, here are 12 of our favorite out-there runways.

Barra Airport, Scotland (BRR)
If nothing comes between you and your beach break, then Barra, in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, is your kind of airport. This is the only place in the world where the runway is on the beach itself.

Just one flight route operates here: Loganair’s 140-mile connection with Glasgow, using 19-seater de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. Pilots heading to Barra — an island just eight miles long — must line up and touch down on Traigh Mhor, a wide bay in the north of the island (if Barra is shaped like a turtle, Traigh Mhor is its neck), landing straight onto the sand. Flights must be timed with the tides to allow as much space to land and take off as possible.

Passengers walk across the beach to the terminal on the other side of the dunes, then get a last bit of sand underfoot as they board the aircraft for the flight back to the mainland. With these conditions, it’s little wonder that flights are canceled with a fair amount of regularity — so you may want to build in extra time before planning onward connections.

But even a delayed return is worth it for avgeeks. On this tiny plane, passengers experience the flight in close proximity to the pilots — when CNN took a spin on the flight in 2019, they could even see the pilot’s GPS instruments from their seat.

For the busiest cargo airport in the world, you need space. Luckily, Hong Kong created an entire island for its airport which, when it opened, had the world’s largest passenger terminal, too. Built to replace its predecessor (a single runway in crowded Kowloon, which was notorious for its violent turns on take-off and landing), HKG sits over the original islet of Chek Lap Kok, which was quadrupled in size with reclaimed land to house the two-runway airport. President Bill Clinton was among the first foreigners to touch down after the airport opened in 1998.

Located next to Lantau Island, the airport has views for days — the sides of the terminals are largely glass, built to shatter (and therefore preserve the building) during potential typhoons. Even getting there is a treat — the 1.4-mile Tsing Ma bridge, which connects HKG to Ma Wan island, heading towards the city, debuted as the longest road-and-rail suspension bridge in the world.

Disney made a smart choice’
Despite the comparisons, Abu Dhabi isn’t positioning itself as a direct rival to Orlando — it’s aiming to be something more. The emirate sees its theme parks as part of a bigger portfolio of attractions, alongside cultural landmarks, luxury hotels, pristine beaches, and desert adventures.
tripskan
A 15-minute drive from Yas Island, Saadiyat Island is home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a franchised outpost of the famous Paris art museum, which welcomed 1.4 million visitors last year, 84% from abroad. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum are both under construction, adding to a cultural district that will be one of the region’s most concentrated hubs of art and heritage.

“Abu Dhabi’s unique appeal lies in the diversity of our tourism offering,” Al Geziry added. “For thrill-seekers, we have record-breaking roller coasters and dune bashing in the desert. For culture lovers, historic sites like Al Ain Oasis and institutions like the Saadiyat museums. And for luxury travelers, world-class dining, private island resorts, and high-end shopping.

“Where else can you start your day under the Louvre’s iconic rain-of-light dome and end it in the immersive, story-driven worlds of Warner Bros. World or Ferrari World?”
http://trips45.cc

Still, not everyone is convinced that Disney’s expansion into the Middle East is a sure bet.

“The region has seen its share of false starts,” says Dennis Speigel, founder of the International Theme Park Services consultancy, comparing it to neighboring Dubai’s patchy record with theme park expansion ambitions in the mid-2010s. “Several of them struggled for profitability in their first decade.”

Spiegel believes Abu Dhabi is different. “Disney made a smart choice. The infrastructure, safety, and existing leisure developments create an ideal entry point,” he told CNN earlier this year. “It’s a much more controlled and calculated move.”

Under its Tourism Strategy 2030, Abu Dhabi aims to grow annual visitors from 24 million in 2023 to more than 39 million by the end of the decade. With Disneyland as a centerpiece, those targets may well be surpassed. The city’s population has already grown from 2.7 million in 2014 to more than 4.1 million today, a reflection of its rising profile as a regional hub.

Yas Island alone has been transformed in the space of a decade from a largely undeveloped stretch of sand to a self-contained resort destination, complete with golf courses, marinas, a mall, more than 160 restaurants, and a cluster of high-end hotels.

Orlando’s head start remains formidable — it still offers multiple Disney and Universal parks, has decades of brand loyalty, and an infrastructure built to handle tens of millions of tourists annually.

But Abu Dhabi is catching up fast. Its combination of frictionless travel, year-round comfort, cutting-edge attractions, and a cultural scene that adds depth to the experience gives Abu Dhabi its own unique selling point, potentially offering a model for the next generation of theme park capital.
