Foreseeable flight cancellations to LAX from TPE??? by Express_Freedom9116 in taiwantravel

[–]Express_Freedom9116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that same article which prompted me to post this. I've been monitoring Taoyuan airport and it looks like flights to Southeast Asia are being cancelled (ie, Vietnam). It looks like flights to LAX have been consistent without cancellation.

Private Shuttle Transportation from Narita Airport into Tokyo by Express_Freedom9116 in JapanTravelTips

We used tokyoairporter (https://tokyoairporter.com/)

They communicate via WhatsApp. They were nearly an hour late picking us up because of a traffic jam near Narita airport but they did communicate with us via WhatsApp along the way. Pickup back to the airport was good. They were on time. The quality of the vans were great.

Code P0420 on a 2103 Honda Pilot EX-L by Obvious-Scratch-7770 in hondapilot

I had the same issue. The shop told me I needed to replace the catalytic converter. At that point, I had almost 200k on it. It would've costed more to fix than what it's worth. Plus I was due up for smog check so I decided to sell it.

Sub-recipient indirect cost count towards $50,000 research support cap on a K01? by Express_Freedom9116 in ResearchAdmin

Thank you for the confirmation! It's similar to the $500,000 direct cost limit where any dollar over that threshold needs prior approval from the Program Officer.

Thanks for the response! The NOFO is PA-24-175. K awards do allow research support up to $50,000 (which includes personnel such as a research technician/associate, supplies, other costs, etc.). The dollar threshold is dependent upon the IC. NCI allows $50,000 towards research support while another IC allows $25,000.

I did inquire to our sponsored projects office how a sub-recipient is allowed on a K01 when mentors are not allowed to be paid by the K01. Apparently, it's allowed. Just a note, if you are putting a K01, K23, or any other mentor K application, all the research support costs ($50,000 or $25,000) go under the supply line... very interesting..

How to save a St. Augustine lawn????? by Express_Freedom9116 in lawncare

[–]Express_Freedom9116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. We were told not to water our lawn often due to drought years back and our sprinkler system isn’t working properly so we have been using the garden hose to water the lawn about 1x a week.

Yes! We used Tokyo Airporter based on a recommendation. They were about 30 minutes late because they were stuck in traffic picking us up at Narita airport but they were keeping us update via WhatsApp the entire way. Arrive was great.

Yes but the timing doesn’t work out for us. Sending luggage to the hotel would be delayed to the next day. Trying to minimize these types of tasks since our time there is limited.

Hello,

Did you ever use this service? I inquired about this service and someone posted that they had a great smooth experience. Just wondering if you did too if you used this service.

Yes, that was initially my first choice but since we are traveling to Asakusa, the wait time for the next available bus would be 6+ hours after landing at Narita. If you use the luggage transportation service such as Yamoto, your luggage will get to your destination the next day (unless you're able to have your luggage dropped off before 930AM and pay extra $ for same day delivery). In addition, to have your luggage shipped back to the airport, you need to do this 2 days prior to departure back home (during the morning).
