Dab & Dump
As fewer and fewer people are carrying cash, we have been exploring ways to reduce our reliance on coin operation at our visitor sites. Electronic payment means fewer breakdowns from jammed coins and no bank charges for paying-in coinage. This summer the two Chemical Disposal Points (CDP) in North Harris have gone contactless.
Way back in 2017 we installed dump points to allow self-contained campervans and motorhomes to empty their toilet cassettes. Before then, there was only one service point at the Leverburgh ferry port and that was regularly out of service. The Urgha and Huisinis installations were partly in response to complaints from the community that waste was being dumped on the estate inappropriately. The CDP at Huisinis Gateway serves those visiting the beach. The Urgha Aire CDP has been especially well received due to its close proximity to the ferry. Vans routinely call at the site just to use the services before they depart the island.
After a few years of coin-only operation, the time had come to go contactless, however contactless CDP units are not available off the shelf. We have worked with Leisure Controls International to come up with a solution that integrates with our existing online payment set up. The administration required in setting up the banking around a contactless payment terminal is not insubstantial. LCI created a terminal with Vianet as the payment processor. NHT already has Vianet units on the vending machines at Huisinis -so all the banking was in place to make the swap from coin to card easy.
Last year, the Urgha CDP was used over 800 times. May and June are the busy months with September following in third place. These popular services are provided on behalf of the community to help manage the summer visitors and encourage them to act responsibly on our land.
I really appreciate your insights on balancing fun and responsibility in gaming! How do you think the fast-paced nature of games like subway surfers impacts our ability to manage time effectively? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Going contactless sounds like a practical improvement, especially with fewer issues caused by jammed coins. It reminds me of how Slope 2 keeps its gameplay simple and straightforward without unnecessary complications.
Mình không có thói quen chơi quá lâu, thường chỉ lúc rảnh mới vào xem vài game để thư giãn. Gần đây mình thử qua v79, ban đầu chỉ định lướt xem giao diện nhưng thấy các mục được sắp xếp khá rõ nên cũng chơi thử vài ván. Tốc độ tải ổn, lúc chuyển từ game này sang game khác không phải chờ lâu. Mình thích kiểu bố trí đơn giản như vậy vì không cần mất thời gian tìm kiếm. Nhìn chung trải nghiệm khá nhẹ nhàng, hợp với mình khi chỉ muốn vào chơi nhanh một lúc rồi nghỉ.
those new houses at Meavaig North look great and are ready to move into right away! If you enjoy managing places, you might like checking out Idle Supermarket Tycoon, an idle game about running a supermarket.
Mình cũng từng thấy X88 được nhắc trong vài cuộc thảo luận nên tò mò vào xem thử. Ấn tượng đầu tiên là giao diện khá gọn, các mục được sắp xếp tương đối dễ nhìn.
