A publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex is disclosed, with a man-made tropical, pristine-clear lagoon as the centerpiece of the complex. The lagoon includes a surf feature and surrounding the lagoon are entertainment, educational, sports, and commercial facilities. The complex has a controlled public access and provides the look and feel of a tropical beach with clear waters and sandy beaches. In addition a method for efficiently utilizing facilities and land that are vacant, underutilized, have limited uses, or that are contiguous to or nearby recreational, educational, sports, or commercial venues is disclosed. The method providing a publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex with a centerpiece man-made tropical-style pristine-clear lagoon having a surf feature. The method allows for generating revenue and increasing efficiency by pairing vacant sites, underutilized sites, limited use land, or sites that are contiguous to entertainment, educational, sports, and/or commercial venues with urban beach entertainment complexes. The complex preferably has a controlled public access, thereby allowing entrance upon payment of a fee.

Improved containment mats and systems of containment mats may include multiple adjoining mats with a top surface and a bottom surface. The multiple mats may provide a modular structural mat system that may be installed at a drill site, with multiple mats placed adjacent to each other with a lap joint connecting adjacent mats. A geotextile may be used to cover the lap joints and a coating applied to the geotextile. Such a system may provide containment of potential spills, a reliable working surface for drilling operations, and relatively fast and less expensive installation.

The disclosure relates to “leg carriage” type trusses, which rely for shipping on elevation by a pair of U-shaped wheeled temporary supports, each having two legs connected by a low horizontal member. The upper ends of the legs are inserted in receiving sleeves installed in the four corners of the truss structure. The clearance between the outer dimensions of the leg and the inner dimensions of the sleeve impact the ease with which legs can be inserted and removed, as well as the lateral “play” in the connection between the leg and truss, which impacts its stability in handling and therefore safety. The disclosure addresses the previous conflict between the two objects by the use of asymmetrical clearances. A relatively relaxed tolerance in the elongated axis of the truss eases insertion and removal. A lesser relative tolerance across the axis of the truss width has no significant impact on leg insertion and removal yet improves stability.

Inflatable beam (1) comprising fire hoses or other industrial seamless hoses with woven textile braiding, inner air-tight lining and optional outer protective coating, is composed of an assembly of at least three hoses (2) arranged longitudinally side by side, where ends of the hose (2) are closed by a closure (3). At least one of the hoses (2) comprises at least one inlet and/or discharge member (4) for an inflating medium. The hoses (2) are at the point of contact of their circumferences, or at place of the closest distance of their circumferences mechanically connected by stiff connections (5) spaced along the length of the assembly of the hoses (2), at least one length (L) of at least one hose (2) between adjacent connections (5) of the hoses (2) is smaller than the length (M) of the other hoses (2) between these connections (5).

A method for generating dynamic displays on a game screen and player display screens for a live event performed on a stage in front of an audience and hosted by a host located on the stage. Each of the player display screens corresponds respectively to a player. The method includes displaying a playing phrase on the game screen. The playing phrase is generated from a winning phrase and includes blank spaces. The game screen is located in a fixed position with respect to the stage to be viewable by the players. For each round of a predetermined number of rounds, the method includes identifying, by one of the players, a first game to display on the game screen. The first game is displayed on a game selector in response to the player actuating the game selector. The method includes obtaining a first set of rules corresponding to the first game.
