Charlotte Kingdom graduation project guideline updates

Guideline updates

Introduction

Due to my vast expansions of the Charlotte Kingdom, I am left with no choice but to tone down on the guidelines for my graduation trip project, which I will be conducting basic research from September 1st 2018 to March 1st 2019, not following a specific format. The guidelines are as follows. I will only be researching the WORST lifts in each city, to know which ones to film first whenever I go my city of choice, which a verdict will be made within 1 week immediately after the graduation ceremony, which will be INFORMALLY announced on the #CharlotteRS hashtag being launched in the first half of 2019. Since I will tend to forget stuff with my busy senior life, I will have this exact journal post bookmarked to my Google Chrome at ALL TIMES during Senior Year, up until graduation day. In addition, I will have a bookmark to the Google doc, which I will be working on frequently when I am not mindlessly riding up & down HORNRT DISC lifts in Elizabeth!

Additionally, plans will be discussed for the December trip, which will be the prequel to the graduation trip. The top 4 candidate cities are as of RIGHT NOW:
  • Hartford 25
  • Atlantic City 31
  • Pittsburgh 22
  • Fort Lauderdale 16
  • Freehold 34*
In addition, I will have a bookmark to the Google doc, which I will be working on frequently when I am not mindlessly riding up & down HORNRT DISC lifts in Elizabeth!
  • I will have no specific font I will use on the project, I will use whatever font I feel is robust enough to get all the information in the project to stand out at different levels. These are the top candidate fonts:
    • Lato (Modern Calibri)
    • Roboto (Modern Arial)
    • Open Sans (Modern Calibri #2)
    • Chivo (Helvetica Neue, Google-style.
Additionally, as of July 1st, I will be releasing a new name for the Charlotte Kingdom, called the Charlotte Ranking System, or Charlotte-RS.

April through June

  • Discuss plans for the graduation trip. A decision must be finalized before 6.21.2019. I would like for the trip to take place in July 2019 at the worst case scenario. If it ends up being a morning trip, day trip, or happens immediately after the graduation ceremony ( within 1 hour of the ceremony ending or within 2 hours of me getting my high school diploma), I will post the verdict on Google+, and I will hope for you to check Google+ at ANYTIME on 6.13.19 from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

June or July

  • Go on graduation trip and film as many lifts as I can possibly get to within the duration of my trip at my favorite city of choice.
  • NOTE: Cities and townships within New Jersey, INCLUDING CLINTON TOWNSHIP, can be added to the Charlotte Kingdom at anytime, especially those with reserved empty spots.
  • Updates to the guidelines will be made during the summer of 2018.

Basic guidelines

  • Find top 5 worst publicly accessible lifts in each city & describe them as seen in video or by verbal description.
  • Film those lifts FIRST, besides the airport and / or hotel lifts
  • Then film the better lifts!

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
