![]() Since 2021, ongoing cash flow deficits also contributed to higher debt. The company’s debt balance sheet doubled over the past two years due, in part, to having to fund the acquisitions of Plano Synergy in April 2021 and Svendsen Sport in February this year, added the report. In addition, said Moody’s, the elevated level of inventory has negatively impacted reorders. Pure Fishing reported ‘meaningfully lower operating results’ in fiscal 2022, with year-on-year revenue declining 14.6% as persistently high inflation and weakening macro-economic conditions pressurised consumer demand for its product. “We expect that demand and industry headwinds will persist in 2023 and the company has limited financial flexibility to absorb prolonged revenue pressures given its constrained liquidity. “The rating downgrade and negative outlook reflects Pure Fishing’s unsustainable capital structure and the elevated risk of default over the next 12 to 18 months given its very high financial leverage,” said Oliver Alcantara, AVP-Analyst at Moody’s. Moody’s Investment Services lowered Pure Fishing’s Corporate Family Rating – long-term ratings that reflect the likelihood of a default on a corporate family’s debt – and Probability of Default Rating both to Caa2 (very high risk). ![]() An exciting new journey has just begun for our companies, our valued associates and the many market leading brands under the Plano Synergy umbrella.The financial rating of Pure Fishing has been downgraded as sales at the world’s largest supplier of fishing tackle declined by nearly 15% last year. We plan to continue our dedication to exceeding our customer expectations in product innovation, market leadership and world-class customer service. Hurt added, "We look forward to working together to grow both the exciting Synergy portfolio of brands and Plano's heritage brands to their full potential.

![]() I mentioned that Peanut is the oldest living chicken. ![]() It's still there.ĭARWIN: And Peanut just kind of stayed the same. KELLY: So you could see all these children getting older in the pictures and the chicken's. And then I have a picture that was marked on the back, 3-year-old Maya (ph) with 3-year-old Peanut. Because she seemed to recognize him and jumped right up on him like she always did. And when he came back, he could not believe that Peanut was still alive.ĭARWIN. So she's just really an attention-monger.ĭARWIN: So I had a lot of pictures of a lot of people holding her, including a friend of ours who moved out to California for 18 years. And I photographed her with my nieces and nephews that love to hold her. I took pictures from day one practically, but through the years. So she was very distinctive looking and with a black tail. Obviously, I guess they had to give me a little benefit of the doubt because - how do you prove that all those pictures are the same chicken? She has some speckles, and she's a golden brown. KELLY: How does one go about proving to Guinness recordkeepers that you have the world's oldest living chicken?ĭARWIN: Well, I take a lot of pictures. It just means we have to give everybody a chance. ![]() And I didn't think she had much of a chance, which, to me, is so ironic, you know?ĭARWIN: And then she lives all these years.ĭARWIN: But (laughter) - so I guess, I don't know. She was kind of a wrinkled up, little, wadded up mess in my hand. And so I just decided I had to peel it out, and so that I did.ĭARWIN: Yup. And I held the egg up to my ear, and sure enough, the egg was chirping.ĭARWIN: And against all odds - because I'm sure it had been sitting in the nest for at least a day - it was cold to the touch, but somebody was alive and well inside. And just as I was about to pitch it into the water, I thought I heard a noise. So I walked down to our pond to pitch it in the water where it wouldn't attract animals. And the egg was cold and, I assumed, dead. Her mother had hatched several chicks and was busy with them. Describe how you first met her.ĭARWIN: Yes. I want to start at the other end of Peanut's life, which I gather was not easy. MARSI PARKER DARWIN: Thank you very much. For more, we have reached out to Marsi Parker Darwin, who is Peanut's guardian. And we learned via The Washington Post that Peanut, who is a bantam hen, has been officially crowned by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest living chicken. ![]() She is 21 years young, lives on a farm in Waterloo, Mich. You know that old phrase often applied to someone not as young as they used to be, that they are no spring chicken? Well, it could be fairly applied to Peanut. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also some warning would be not to overwork a single airport less you make it not operable since the runway would be blocked. My only wishes were that the AI companies didn't build sky trains so much as that would block and clog somethings. If I had to hazard a guess I would be around 400-500 hours since my first play of Boulder Breakers? The routing can be a little tricky, but overall vehicles getting lost can be easily corrected with some fiddling of the rails/roads. ![]() The controls is pretty much the same as RCT 1-2. The sound track I love, and remember even after not playing it for a few months. Many like Open TTD, while this is my bread and butter. The only times I would have issues really is with non compatible mods that conflicted with others. I spent HOURS playing, modding, and making maps. It can be loads of fun, especially if you can do it with friends. RCT is the one that introduced me to Sawyer's games back in 1999-2000. My first game was like in 2005ish, and is what got me into transport games. It's only about $5 on Steam, so why not give it a try? It only takes about ten minutes to figure out how to play, and the game is loaded with scenarios of varying difficulty, and there are plenty of places online where you can download additional scenarios, as well as tons of custom content. You can create trains, buses, trams, aircraft, and ships to craft a well rounded transportation company. I like that it is not just centered around one form of transportation. I've tried many other games with a similar premise, but Locomotion is by far my favorite. Pick up goods/people from one area, and figure out a way to get them where they are needed as fast and as cheaply as possible, trying to beat your competitors. Sure, the graphics are not the best by today's standards, but it has that "RollerCoaster Tycoon 2" look that I find to be very nostalgic, and more than adequate for the purpose of the game. Despite having been released in 2004, this game still holds up today. I played this game constantly during my childhood, and when I saw it was on Steam, I had to get it. ![]() ![]() You can earn 1,600 points per day and challenges refresh daily.

![]() ![]() But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. The str() function is like a magic wand that can convert almost any data type into a string. When we look inside the box, we see '25', which is a string. It's like we're taking the number out of the box, painting it a different color, and then putting it back in a new box labeled age_as_string.įinally, we're using the print() function to display the contents of the age_as_string box. Next, we're using the str() function to convert the integer 25 into a string. In this case, we're storing the number 25 in the box labeled age. You can think of a variable as a box where you can store things. So what's happening in the code above? It's like a recipe.įirst, we're setting the variable age to the integer 25. That's how Python indicates that 25 is a string, not an integer. When you run this code, the output will be '25'. You can convert an integer to a string in Python using the str() function. You have the age of the person as an integer, but you want to include it in the text of the invitation, which is a string. Why would we want to do that? Well, let's say you're writing a program to send out birthday invitations. Now, let's say we have an integer and we want to convert it into a string. For example, 'Hello', '123', ' ' are all strings. It can include letters, numerals, symbols, and even spaces. For example, 5, 0, -2 are all integers.Ī string, on the other hand, is a sequence of characters. These are called data types, and they are like the building blocks of the language.Īn integer, as you might remember from math class, is a whole number, without a fraction or decimal part. Just like in English we have nouns, verbs, adjectives, in Python, we have integers (int), strings (str), and many more. As you're learning programming, it's like learning a new language. ![]() ![]() ![]() That said, modern Linux distributions contain many applications beyond the kernel and the GNU toolchain. In this sense, CentOS and RHEL are GNU/ Linux distributions. Thus, some refer to the distributions as GNU/Linux distributions. Often, Linux distributions contain the GNU toolchain. What Is a Linux Distribution?Ī Linux distribution is a collection of software distributed with the Linux kernel. Those looking for a CentOS Linux-like experience should consider CentOS alternatives like Rocky Linux. However, changes to development priorities for the CentOS community have meant that CentOS Linux distributions are no longer a valid option for enterprises unless they have secured third-party commercial support. Often, the two distributions are referred together as “Enterprise Linux”, or EL, for short. What Is CentOS Linux Good For?ĬentOS is good for enterprise Linux without the costs of RHEL.įunctional compatibility means that aside from RHEL subscription management, and RHEL branding, the two distributions are the same for a given version.
