Thai food is likely not the first thought for hungry visitors to rural Bavaria But after a few months of living in this part of Germany plenty of exposure to bratwurst and a persistent craving for Asian food I took a chance on what I thought was Thai Imbiss Mekong in the village of Heroldsberg reviews and a single picture of a hut-like structure on Yelp and Google the photo I saw and my below-average land navigation skills I circled a building attempting to find this mysterious hut only to find that the photo was a red herring The replacement to what I found on Yelp is a full building far from the usual size of a German imbiss wasn’t busy on a Friday evening at peak dinner hours A few patrons were nestled on the shaded patio with a curtain of trees that dampened the sound of Heroldsberg’s primary road Assuming I would have to stumble my way through my minimal knowledge of German then resorted to asking whether the waitstaff spoke English to which they excitedly stated that they did The kind and friendly host explained the German menu while giving her personal recommendations for dishes The offerings test the taste buds with varying degrees of spice from an array of curries not wanting to review the restaurant based on a single dish The pad thai felt like a good place to start there was nothing special that stuck out to me lemon and peanuts on the side added flavor I held out hope for the curry and I wasn’t disappointed The massaman curry was the best meal I’ve had in a while and it was all accented by the slight crunch of the sliced carrots While this dish also could have been a shared plate I savored every bite of the curry and rice and wished for more I did have to wait a while for the food to arrive family-owned restaurant with affordable prices and large portions I may have to stop off in Heroldsberg for another plate of curry Prices: Main dishes are between 10 and 17 euros; cards and cash are accepted What’s claimed to be the US’ largest floating solar farm has been completed in the city of Healdsburg a 4.78MW array across two wastewater treatment ponds in Sonoma County is operated by renewables company White Pine Co-developed by White Pine and floating solar specialist Noria Energy it claims to be the country’s largest installation of its kind to date The project edges just ahead of the floating solar array to have previously laid claim to the throne; a 4.4MW project completed on a retention pond in New Jersey Land for solar development can be hard to find in Sonoma in addition to capitalising on the space available placing panels on these ponds will reduce algae growth and evaporation preventing disease in neighbouring vineyards that are irrigated with treated water said the company “combined innovative technology and an efficient capital structure to provide long-term savings” to residents in the area The City of Healdsburg will be supplied electricity from the plant through a 25-year power purchase agreement covering roughly 8% of Healdsburg’s energy demand It forms part of the city’s wider aim to run on 60% renewable energy by 2030 said the partnership “leveraged Noria’s experience in floating solar technology and White Pine’s development experience” to create the project Healdsburg’s utility director Terry Crowley called the array a “cornerstone” of the City’s long-term plan to run on 60% renewable energy by the end of the decade we have upgraded our product offerings and features to bring you the best experience please check your email inbox for password reset message from PV Tech and follow the instructions Can\'t find the email?

Discovered in New Mexico, this 3-meter-long dinosaur was characterized by hollow bones and a lightweight structure, hence the dinosaur’s name “Hollow Form” has revealed a wealth of information about its anatomy and behavior elongated skull equipped with numerous sharp teeth suggesting a diet primarily consisting of small prey The configuration of its limbs indicates a capacity for swift movement Herrerasaurus a primitive Late Triassic dinosaur from Argentina Herrerasaurus was a top predator of its time Its strong hind legs were designed for running Herrerasaurus’ exact position in the dinosaur family tree was a great scientific debate due to the unusual anatomy of its hip a consensus was eventually reached within the scientific community Another herrerasaurid from Late Triassic Brazil Although only about 2 m in length and 80 cm at the hip Staurikosaurus possessed muscular arms equipped and hands with large claws Eodromaeus was an early theropod from Argentina’s Late Triassic period measuring approximately 1.2 meters in length and weighing around 5 to 7 kg was equipped with distinct saber-shaped teeth and clawed hands Its body shape and skeletal structure suggest swift a basal sauropodomorph from the Late Triassic of Southern Brazil is recognized as one of the earliest known dinosaurs it lived approximately 237 to 225 million years ago showcases the initial stages of sauropodomorph evolution characterized by a small skull on a flexible neck and plant-crushing teeth highlight the dinosaur’s wide geographical spread during the Late Triassic period Coloradisaurus, another sauropodomorph from Argentina’s Late Triassic, thrived in the Los Colorados Formation, notably during the Norian stage. This dinosaur, approximately 10 meters long, was characterized by a sturdy build and a herbivorous diet. However, it is primarily known from a partial skeleton, including significant cranial material, mostly shedding light on its feeding mechanics and lifestyle. Sellosaurus, a sauropodomorph, inhabited Europe approximately 214 to 204 million years ago. With an adult size stretching between 4 to 7 meters in length and a height of about 3 meters, Sellosaurus was estimated to have weighed between 300 to 600 kg, showcasing a sturdy yet agile build. Since it belonged to the Plateosauridae family, Sellosaurus shared several characteristics with its close relative, Plateosaurus, including a long neck and a predominantly plant-based diet. © 2007-2025 ZME Science - Not exactly rocket science.

I go through the motions of my beauty routine as normal, but I pause when it comes to my brows, staring at the selection of new Sephora Collection brow products sitting before me Do I lie to myself and say I'll go natural with only a few swipes of brow gel before eventually saying screw it and spending a whole ass 20 minutes shaping one of them like I always do The possibilities are endless with so many options I opt for the latter (duh) before running to the lobby to load onto a flock of charter buses with the rest of the Sephora team After a few days in Munich exploring at least three Christmas markets finishing a liter of beer at Hofbräuhaus like a champion and drinking enough glühwein for the entire city we take a two-hour trip to the Schwan Cosmetics factory in Heroldsberg where a majority of Sephora Collection's brow and pencil products are made — and have been for over 15 years Sephora Collection kicked 2020 off with a bang revamping their collection of brow products to infuse Big Brow Energy in both their existing products and the new innovations they've recently introduced With access to valuable Sephora consumer statistics and reviews Sephora Collection ensured the updates to their brow arsenal directly addressed the most frequent consumer concerns and requests And from those updates came a wealth of products that address every single brow preference in the history of forever The Microblade Effect Brow Pen only comes in two shades at the moment. The brand says this is largely because developing the pigments with this specific formula is difficult. (The colors can get murky pretty quickly.) However, Phillips says, because she typically only uses this product to fill in small, sparse areas, a good amount of people will be able to use the provided shades. $12See On SephoraThat early morning in Munich wielding it carefully to reveal a pretty damn good set of precise five more of these," and lucky for me I'll soon receive another one fresh off the line not long after we get to Schwan I realize we've been transported to a much more open and I'm hard-pressed not to ditch our tour entirely to run off into the hills of the German countryside Schwan's facilities are a stark contrast from the picturesque backdrop with a neon orange staircase here and stunning cosmetics graphics there It looks like the cool place you'd want your makeup to come out of INFO1/2PREVNEXTFor a factory that looks like it's from the future I'm surprised to learn that Schwan began as a pencil (yes It wasn't until 1927 that Schwan introduced the Schwan Eyebrow Pencil refining their process along the way to extend to pencil powder shadows and more items rampant in your makeup bag to this day the powerhouse boasts over 370 different cosmetic textures and produces an estimate of a million pencils a day After suiting up in a white lab coat and a v chic baby blue hairnet I walk out of the lobby's color-blocked walls and into where the magic happens: the factory itself A Schwan employee leads our group past rooms stacked high with containers of the ingredients that make up most of the products sitting in your makeup cabinet at this very moment I see employees poring over swatches and screens and our tour guide explains that Schwan's color experts will manually match a color swatch to a base example with their own eyes It feels like we zip through a maze of long hallways forever before entering what I lovingly call Schwan's ASMR Mecca automated machines with laser-sharp movements working away I feel like Charlie Bucket stepping into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory for the first time except I'm not allowed to eat any of the pencils we land at the machine filling Sephora Collection's Retractable Brow Pencil components — and I can't take my eyes off every automated step As one arm of the machine inserts the inner plastic cylinder another fills the component with the product's formula and another caps it off before depositing the finished product into a box of the pencils that came out before it even hearing the consistent humming of the machine — calms my mind more than any ASMR video ever could (Swipe through the Instagram above for some videos of the process you won't be able to look away from.)
