Together, the fully-integrated luxury resorts span a total of 40 square kilometres and 22 golf courses, making Mission Hills the largest golf complex in the world.

The trio of World Golf Awards for Mission Hills is further recognition for its Haikou facility which was recently voted Asia Pacific Golf Resort of the Year by IAGTO, the world's leading golf tourism organisation. Earlier this year, the Blackstone Course at Mission Hills Haikou entered Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Golf Courses for the first time at number 48.

Full transcript of Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design talking about the award-winning Lava Fields Course at Mission Hills Haikou:

It is quite an honour to receive this award and the attention that this course long deserves.

While the Blackstone Course (a course that has hosted numerous world class events and is located adjacent to the main facilities) has certainly been the most visible and renowned course at Mission Hills Haikou over the past years, I have always felt that Lava Fields warranted equal attention for its strong, quality golf experience. This has also been echoed by many in the golf critic circles who have appreciated Lava Fields for its unique design, including an early strong ranking by Golf World Magazine when it opened, placing it in the middle of its Top 100 list. Read here.

While Blackstone took advantage of a more dramatic and varied setting, Lava Fields was produced on a somewhat desolate expanse of generally flatfish lava terrain. There were a handful of existing low areas that, in the hands of most designers, may have become lakes to avoid the cost and trouble of excavating additional lows. But, to the credit of Mission Hills and the desire to produce the best experience possible, we retained these natural lows as is and created additional large lakes. These additional rock excavations were costly but helped create the landforms that factor heavily in the design and produce elevation change on the site. Be alert to the latest news.

The design is exceptionally dramatic and varied with 18 individual holes of memorable character, but reads as an overall experience that emphasizes a rugged, transitional look where the outer edges weave in and out of the lava. Open lava expanses create a very intimidating look but ample fairway width is available for those who choose a safer route yet angles of attack create exciting opportunities for aggressive play.

There is a wide variety of green shapes and contour, some bordering on the extreme, but always in keeping with the club used as an approach.

Highlights include the 3rd hole that hugs a long stretch of lava rock, strong, varied par-3s with wonderful carries over trouble, the visually dramatic 15th that plays to a perched green site with wild transitional bunkering surrounds, and the risk / reward 18th that features optional second shots over dramatic rock walls and canyons.

Wonderfully walkable with unique trails that weave in and out of the lava surrounds, the course is a great departure from the standard designs seen in Asia today and is a great ambassador to the 10 course complex at Mission Hills Haikou.

CCSD School Board Candidate Danielle Ford Standing Out In A Way That Compares To Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

As the 2018 General Election draws closer, Las Vegas voters may have found their own Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Danielle Ford, a candidate for Clark County School Board, District F Trustee.

"Many voters here in Las Vegas are comparing Danielle Ford to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and I, for one, think we're long overdue for a strong candidate willing to look past the corporate special interests and start making our kids the only special interest," stated Clark County voter Brian Dean.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the trailblazing New York congressional candidate took the establishment by storm earlier this year. She defeated Joe Crowley, a lifelong who dismissed Ocasio-Cortez as a blip on the screen. Much to his surprise and the shock of many special interests who funded his campaign, voters delivered a strong, unified message that change is real. Ocasio-Cortez became an instant sensation among voters looking for an outsider's perspective and a fresh set of eyes for chronic challenges facing their communities.

Indeed, Ocasio-Cortez and Danielle Ford share many similarities. Both entered the political arena without the horse-trading and promise-making that underscores the path typical politicians take to win elections. They have no allegiances to the business-as-usual politics that has corroded national politics for years and undermined schools in Clark County for a generations. Read all the related news.

Without a doubt, Danielle Ford is Clark County's Alexandria. She is a strong, mission-focused woman with no ties to the special interests that prop up most campaigns. Insiders see that as a disadvantage. Clark County voters, however, are seeing it differently giving Ford the win in the primary elections. Like they've done to Alexandria, Danielle Ford is being derided for coming from outside the political machine. She's a former PTO mom, successful entrepreneur and host of Leading Las Vegas who decided to stop complaining and start campaigning.

Danielle Ford is gaining momentum and resonating with voters seeking a bold voice for education and her personal story offers voters a compelling reason: a native Las Vegan, Ford dropped out of high-school and is now running to improve the same school system that failed her. Ford is an unwavering advocate for a strong public school system and wants to end efforts to undermine teachers' efforts and students' education. She has an aggressive agenda that focuses on funding schools properly, decreasing class sizes, and raising teacher pay. Ford is also uniquely discussing the use of revenues from marijuana sales as an opportunity to invest directly in education.

This election, voters have a chance to get behind a candidate not shaped by the old mold. Danielle Ford is willing to talk about issues that many candidates want to ignore. She puts the status quo on the hot seat and is unwilling to shy away from tough issues. It's the 'Alexandria' effect: strong candidates ready to turn the political establishment on its ear. We've seen it happen in places like New York and California. Now were seeing Clark County voters embrace the chance to put kids ahead of special interests, by making Danielle Ford our next trustee for Clark County School Board, District F."

Mighty Paw Reduces Pet Parent Fears with Launch of a Travel Seat Belt That Goes Beyond the Buckle

For humans, there are laws that require the use of a seat belt. Unfortunately, that's not the case for dogs.

More info here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/mt-hood-community-college-to-host.html

Most dogs love to go for a ride in the car, but a loose dog in a car can become a major distraction for the driver. The split second a driver takes their attention away from the road to focus on their dog could lead to an accident. In this situation, a dog can become a projectile object resulting in injury or death. A proper safety belt can be the defining factor between the life and death of a pet.

Anderson Moorer, a former paramedic (EMT-P), pet owner, and dog rescue volunteer laments that "I will tell you from experience that dogs are injured terribly in car accidents. They do not typically receive care in the field, and when their injuries are serious, they are not infrequently put down or left to die while the humans are cared for. Sometimes, the injuries sustained by seat-belt-wearing humans are minor while their dog, ejected from being unrestrained, is critically injured. Those lucky owners get to watch their friend's dying moments."

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/author-sb-white-has-released-latest-ya.html

Mighty Paw seeks to prevent those terrible accidents from ever happening at all. The Mighty Paw Safety Belt attaches directly to the vehicle frame using the latch bars located in the crease of every vehicle's backseat. The federal government requires these latch bars in all vehicles concluding that they "increase child restraint effectiveness and child safety."

Mighty Paw's Safety Belt has several major benefits to ease pet parents everywhere:

While other pet seat belt systems can accidentally be released if the dog steps on the buckle button. This cannot happen with the Mighty Paw Safety Belt as they use a secure hook attaching directly to the vehicle's latch bar.

This hook is an easy to grasp, durable, carabiner that allows for a quick release in case of an emergency. The carabiner is made of extra strong, yet lightweight, aviation aluminum with a Max Force Tension of 400 KG. The Safety Belt surpassed all internal testing and is also made with high-quality weather-proof nylon and all-metal hardware with an adjustable tri-glide attachment which extends from 16 inches to 26 inches allowing for more or less freedom based on the size of the dog.

And last, a clever tangle-free attachment allows a dog to rotate and move around without ever tangling. A dog owner can choose to leave the Safety Belt attached to the vehicles' latch bar at all times to eliminate the time and energy spent hooking and unhooking a pet seat belt.

Mighty Paw's Safety Belt is available on Amazon.com. To celebrate, Mighty Paw is giving away 10% off Amazon discount code for those interested in securing their pets beyond a superficial seat belt "click."

US CMBS Delinquency Rate Increases for the First Time in Six Months

Trepp, LLC, a leading provider of information, analytics, and technology to the structured finance, commercial real estate, and banking markets, has released its October 2018 US CMBS Delinquency Report. The full report can be found here: https://info.trepp.com/october-2018-cmbs-delinquency-report-pr.

The Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate rose one basis point to 3.42% last month, marking the first rate increase since March 2018. Despite the jump, the delinquency reading is still just one point higher than the most recent post-crisis low. The rate has shed 179 basis points year over year and 147 basis points to date in 2018.

"October was clearly a turbulent month for certain markets but the CMBS market continues to plug away," said Trepp Senior Managing Director, Manus Clancy. "There was some modest spread widening amid the equity sell-off and issuance has leveled off a bit, but CMBS continues to shrug off most of the broader market volatility." Click here to read the latest news.

Delinquency readings for four of the five major property types decreased in October. The largest drop belonged to the lodging sector as its rate fell 29 basis points to 1.98%. Another notable improvement was observed in the industrial segment thanks to a 17-basis-point slide. Industrial delinquencies now make up just 2.81% of the sector's outstanding debt. The only property type with a month-over-month rate increase was the retail segment as its reading climbed 38 basis points to 5.39%.

The percentage of CMBS 2.0 debt which is marked as delinquent jumped 12 basis points to 0.62% in October. Conversely, the CMBS 1.0 delinquency rate shed 39 basis points and hit 46.36% last month. By property type, the largest jump in CMBS 2.0+ delinquencies was tied to the retail space as its rate finished 49 basis points higher at 0.93%. The delinquency reading for lodging loans behind CMBS 1.0 debt plunged 540 basis points to 50.54% last month.

New ‘Can’t Catch Harry’ Card Game from Odd 1s Out Surpasses Quarter Million Dollars as Campaign Enters Final Days on Kickstarter

The new 'Can't Catch Harry' Card Game created by American YouTube Cartoonist James Rallison (better known online as TheOdd1sOut for his animated videos) has raised more than $270,000 as the campaign enters its final days on Kickstarter.

"I want to thank all the people who've made the Can't Catch Harry Game a great success during crowdfunding," Rallison said. "I'm a big believer in family game night, and my biggest hope is that our backers on Kickstarter will enjoy playing this game with their family members and friends and share this important tradition with others, as well."

The game is based on one of TheOdd1sOut's more popular videos, Harry the Moth, which was developed from a real-life incident that happened to Rallison and his sister when they were children in Kindergarten. They caught a moth, which they named 'Harry,' and took their moth to school one day as part of a 'bring your pet to school day.' Unfortunately, during recess that day the moth escaped and was promptly eaten by a bird.

"I have always loved playing card and board games, so I decided to create my own game based off of one of the most scarring events of my childhood," he said.

The game, its name derived from Rallison's comedy bit on the moth's lowly reputation compared to a butterfly, works like this:

All players start with four cards and cards are drawn from the deck and passed from player to player until someone has four of a kind. At that point, the player tries to grab Harry the moth (one of the figurines). As other players see a competitor reach for a figurine everyone, regardless of current cards, reaches for a moth. Depending on what cards you have in your hand and what moth you can grab you receive or lose points. The expansion pack also features game play cards which change the environment that the game is played in, as well as what the players can do.

The game includes:

"Fans of The Odd 1s Out will like seeing one of our more popular episodes turned into a game, but it's really made for any family to enjoy," he said. "I created Can't Catch Harry to be the perfect game for anyone who simply enjoys playing board or card games with their friends or family."

Rallison spent months working alongside with his team to develop a brand-new game that he could share with everyone with hopes that the game will become a family favorite and find its place alongside other popular family games.

The game is available at early-bird discounts during the crowdfunding campaign. There are certain options for the game that will only be available during Kickstarter as well, such as holographic cards, golden figurines and custom cards are among some of the options that will only be available on Kickstarter.

Rallison's crowdfunding success also coincides with the recent announcement that TheOdd1sOut has been nominated for a Streamy Award, often referred to as the Streamys, which are presented annually by Dick Clark Productions and Tubefilter to recognize and honor excellence in online video, including directing, acting, producing, and writing.
