![]() The park is isolated and visitors need to bring their own refreshments, food and water. From the shore you can see, diving, and bird watching. We include these beaches even though you have to take a ferry or sea plane to experience them because they really are "the jewel of Key West." As our friend and local legend Dink Bruce put it, "To go to Key West without visiting the Dry Tortugas, is like going to the Grand Canyon and not looking over." Beaches offer some of the best snorkeling in the North America and living coral reefs are directly accessible from the beaches. The park is a protected marine sanctuary encompassing 64,700 acres that includes seven tiny islands, each with white sand beaches, surrounding crystal clear emerald waters and offshore coral reefs. Plenty of parking throughout the Bahia Honda State Park.įort Jefferson - Dry Tortugas National Park is located 70 miles off Key West and is a phenomenon of its own standing.

Concession stands offer kayak rentals, refreshments, and gift store. Bahia Honda Park includes over 500 acres or land and an offshore island. You can picnic on the beach, snorkel, scuba dive, and fish from the shore and finish your day with a stunning sunset. You'll get to see a wide variety of wading and shore birds and unique island plant life. This once remote island (before bridges) resembles the Bahamas in so many ways that you when you walk the beaches you can almost imagine you are in the Abaco Islands. We include these beaches even though they are about 45 minutes from Key West because it is a local's favorite trip the beaches are truly beautiful and have won several awards. The park has two award winning beaches: Sandspur Beach, located just north of the park entrance, and Calusa Beach, next to the Bahia Honda Bridge. The Bahia Honda beaches are located in the Bahia Honda State Park at MM 37 on the Overseas Highway in Big Pine Key. (end of Reynolds St.) 'Next door' (just east) to the Casa Marina Resort. Across the street there are beautiful tennis courts and the 'Astro-City' playground for the little kids. Visit the African Slave Cemetery and the Key West aids Memorial. The White Street Pier is right next to the beach. A focal point of Higgs Beach is the unique ' Salute on the Beach' restaurant that has rapidly become a destination in itself. The water stays shallow for a long way out making it a great swimming place for the entire family. A long wooden narrow pier allows you to walk out into the ocean. Rent kayaks, water toys, and beach chairs from old fashioned beach stands and there is plenty of room to sunbathe. 1950's beach kiosks and a volley ball net create an ambience for 'old time' fun. While Higgs provides a very endearing beach scene, it still has an understated presence in Key West. It has a treasured Caribbean-style retro feel and exudes an authentic charm that is rare these days in U.S.A. Higgs Beach is a personal favorite of many locals.

Living in different cultural settings is an education that shapes how one interacts with others and also informs how we make decisions. I also enjoy living in other countries and interacting with different cultures and people. I enjoy weightlifting and sprint running. Contributing to complex missions that often represent the best of humanity can only be described as cool. My current role is essentially about enabling and sustaining mission success, which is humbling and also provides me with a source of encouragement and a push for excellence. It is cool to behold the interactions while leading a Goddard group (a principal investigator, lead systems engineer, project manager, mission assurance officer, and others) on a journey of collective reflection and exploration of project experiences to identify critical lessons for institutional learning. What is the coolest thing you have done at Goddard? The program recognizes Goddard’s most distinguished research workers from various scientific and technical disciplines for their accomplishments and contributions to the nation’s space program. Since 2015, I have served as coordinator of the Goddard Senior Fellows Program, an advisory board of technical experts including scientists and engineers. What is your role with the Goddard Senior Fellows Program? And for me, this means resilience fueled by the utility of lessons-learned. It also points to succeeding on a mission after setbacks, mistakes or even mishaps. ![]() Getting up again points to learning to get up and walking again after falling. Nelson Mandela makes a point for our collective reflection: “Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” He is talking about the relationship between failure and success. After a few months, I returned as Goddard’s CKO. In 2020, I was detailed to become the agency’s deputy CKO. In 2012, I became Goddard’s technical programs manager for the then Office of Human Capital Management. I then led the systems engineering curriculum development effort to align it with the new NPR 7123 and other technical guidelines. Early in my NASA career, I worked closely with some of the best systems engineers and project managers across the agency to help develop the NASA systems engineering procedural requirements (NPR 7123) policy. I earned a master’s degree in engineering management and a Ph.D. ![]() I grew up living and studying in multiple countries which made me interested in innovation, teamwork and decision making. ![]() What path did you take to become the chief knowledge officer?

He tells her that Jackson is a Berger and that he will have the future he needs. JP’s planĪnd like we saw at the start of the series, we witness JP’s ruthlessness again. They head to Laurent’s mother’s house, and Jackson is taken off her by the brother’s mother. Meanwhile, Vinnie asks Nathalie for the parental papers for Laurent and threatens Nathalie with a gun. Bob tries ringing Nathalie, and he can’t get through she texts him and learns that the deal is off. This u-turn changes the course of the final episode - it’s about life or death now, not weapons. Patrick tells his operation team to raid every location known to look for evidence of weapons. The entire team is fuming as JP walks off. ![]() Bob breaks character and tells JP that he knows what he’s doing. JP also states he’s no longer an arms dealer - he’s basically giving evidence to make him look innocent. When Bob meets JP, the arms dealer raises that he has a bad feeling about this - he explains there are no weapons and it’s because of Laurent’s big mouth. The operation team is in position for the location as Bob heads over there. JP rings Bob and gives him a location for the deal. The finale is mostly about the brothers keeping to their promise to protect each other, no matter what. In the present day, JP promises to get revenge on Nathalie and Bob.

(I don't remember new settings that became available?) I even indicated that I believe there are some additional settings in the new version but he says show that there is a problem. Otherwise they continue to believe the Current Version (07/2021.46) is UP TO DATE as indicated by the vehicle and the App. Just got off the phone with a Service Advisor and he is indicating that BMW warranty will not pay for a manual software upgrade unless I am noticing a problem indicating the idrive software needs updating. OMG, I'm gonna go bald out of frustration. That is what I did on two of my vehicles. If you take it to your dealer, they will install the Nov 2022 update for you. You may have to wait for days or maybe one full year until you see the July or Nov 2022 update. There is no logic I was able to understand. You can still have a 2019 X7 that will get the July 2022 update before a 2022 X7 in the same garage. ![]() So does it seem right that the latest iDrive version for a 2021 X7 M50i is v07/2021.50 ? Being a tech guy, 1.5 years old feels old in software years to me. I again selected the option to search for updates and iDrive reports "There is no upgrade currently available for your vehicle. iDrive menu now shows installed version is 07/2021.50. I successfully completed the process to search for updates (07/2021.50 was found), downloaded the update, and installed the update. It reported the installed version was 03/2021.50. I did go through the iDrive menu this evening. Thanks everyone for the information, I appreciate it. If you take it to the dealer you can also get 11/2022 which is the most recent and you should be good for the life of the vehicle from here as I won't expect any other major updates for idrive-7 after this Nov/2022 release. Most users are stuck on July 2021 now, while March 2022 offered really great improvements to iDrive-7 vehicles. I think July 2022 also claimed some engine/turbocharger improvements. In Summary, if you find that your X7 has anything older than March 2022, I think you will be missing a few nice improvements if you use drive assist or want the lane keep assist and auto-lane change to work better. It seems to me that it is just the release date of the BMW guide information itself, not the vehicle or iDrive.Īs stated by the other member, you can check your idrive software version from the vehicle itself (Car settings) and search for software update window and it should be right there. On my iPad, the same method shows 3.2022. On my iPhone, the method you described showed 7.2021. Taking as an example my X7, I know I have the 11/2022 software. ![]() It even shows two different numbers on two devices (iPhone vs iPad) ![]() I just tried this for all my vehicles, non of them showed accurate software version to the one actually on the car. The method you followed in your original post is not accurate, or does not give you the software version on your vehicle. That is just two months shy or 2 years old, so the tech geek in me questions if there might be a newer version. I have attached a screen capture.ĭoes anyone know if 03/21 the latest version for a 2021 BMW X7 M50i. It shows 03/21 with a bunch of subsequent letters and numbers. The article I found said to use the BMW Driver's Guide app -> Vehicle Information -> Notes -> Information -> scroll to bottom. I did some google searching about how to determine my current iDrive software version. If I go to My BMW app -> Vehicle Status -> Services -> Remote Software Upgrade, it says "the software of your BMW X7 M50i is up to date". When I go to the My BMW app -> Info -> Settings, it says it is configured to download automatically. I assumed since it was a CPO, that the dealership would have automatically updated to the latest software version, but you know what they saw what happens when you assume! I am not having any specific problems. I am trying to determine if I have the latest iDrive software version installed on my recently purchased certified pre-owned 2021 BMW X7 M50i. ![]() To enhance transparency, the legislation will require the board hold at least six public meetings each year. State law does not currently require the board to meet a certain minimum number of times a year. Shareholders are entitled to vote to elect the board and before certain other decisions are made concerning the building. Mitchell-Lama cooperatives are run by a board of directors, the representatives of which are elected by the shareholders, or residents, of the building. More than 100,000 New Yorkers live in Mitchell-Lama housing, which is overseen by both the City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the State’s Division of Housing and Community Renewal. The Mitchell-Lama program was created by the Limited Profit Housing Act in 1955 to provide affordable rental and cooperative housing to moderate- and middle-income families. “This bill is intended to ensure open, transparent governance of Mitchell-Lama cooperatives to protect the rights of shareholder residents and the public interest in preserving affordable housing in Mitchell-Lama buildings that have been subsidized for decades,” said Senator Brian Kavanagh. “I thank all the Mitchell-Lama residents who organized and advocated so effectively for these important changes and for an affordable future for their homes, Assemblymember Rosenthal for her long-standing, forceful leadership on these issues, and all of our colleagues in both houses of the legislature who supported the bill.” It is vital that we stem the loss of Mitchell-Lama affordable housing to ensure that there is a place in our city for working-class New Yorkers and their families.” Rosenthal. “The Mitchell-Lama program is one of the state’s most successful affordable housing programs, but like so many other forms of affordable housing, we have lost too many units over the years to ill-advised privatization efforts. It ensures that shareholders have a real say over what happens in their buildings and will help to preserve moderate- and middle-income housing for years to come,” said Assemblymember Linda B. ![]() “For far too long, many Mitchell-Lama shareholders have been treated as second-class residents in their own homes by over-empowered boards pursuing agendas that serve the interest of the few, not the majority.This vital legislation will restore the balance of power in Mitchell-Lama housing. The bill, once it becomes law, will implement a series of reforms around voting procedures, corporate governance and dissolution processes in Mitchell-Lama cooperative housing. ![]() Rosenthal (D/WF-Manhattan) and State Senator Brian Kavanagh (D-Manhattan and Brooklyn), today announced that their Mitchell-Lama reform bill ( A.7272/S.6412) has passed both the New York State Assembly and Senate and now heads to the Governor’s desk for signature.
