Bissell Big Green leaking clean water

I've had the Big Green for a few years, and now it as soon as I turn it on, water from the clean tank pours out from the bottom and the flow indicator spins like crazy until the water runs out. The last time I used it a couple of weeks ago, it was fine.

I've tried pressing and releasing the trigger many times to ensure it's not stuck. But no difference. It could be the solution valve at the bottom or the solenoid valve. How do I figure out which of them it is before I try to replace it?

Big salad for dinner tonight

Excuse the messy bowl in which I mixed the salad.

Ingredients:

raw: tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, unripe mango, avocado

cooked: sauteed red onions, shitake mushrooms & firm tofu (cooked in a pseudo-Chinese style with garlic-ginger paste, chili and bean sauce and soy sauce) + mildly cooked sprouted mung beans.

pseudo-dressing: tamarind-date chutney, fresh lime juice, black salt

garnished with cilantro (forgot to add it when photo was taken)

Ferry or high-speed train from downtown HK to Shenzhen

I'll be arriving in HKG from the US and then going to Shenzhen on a TWOV. I will stay the night in HK since I have an important morning conference call to take and I don't want to risk potential complications related to the GFW if I went directly to Shenzhen from HKG airport.

  1. Under the circumstances, is the ferry from Sheung Wan or the high speed train from West Kowloon a better choice.
  2. I heard that immigration at West Kowloon train station can take a long time. I will be doing this on a Tuesday, so I suppose it will be less crowded.
  3. There have also been reports here that those who got the TWOV at West Kowloon station were told that their TWOV is only valid for Guangdong Province. Can someone who did this confirm if they were allowed to go to the other provinces covered by the TWOV? I plan to go to Suzhou, Shanghai and Beijing in addition to Shenzhen and fly out of the country from Beijing to a 3rd country.
  4. I also assume that once I exit the HKG airport, there's no way to take the ferry from the SkyPier the following day. If this is not true, then I'd consider staying in a hotel near the airport, finish my call the next morning and then proceed to the SkyPier for the ferry to Shekou.

Specifically about the MSCAPP, not the MPP program.

  1. I understand that the MPP program cohort is large and very competitive and not very collaborative. How's the MSCAPP program in comparison? Any insight on what the size of this year's cohort is?
  2. This program has a lot of electives. Other than CAPP and MPP courses, do students typically have a lot of trouble enrolling in programs in other departments like CS, Toyota Institute, Financial Mathematics, Booth, etc.? If they are difficult to get into, what are some of the ways in which a student can prepare ahead of time?
  3. I also believe research assistantships for incoming students is very difficult for the MPP program. Is it the same for CAPP students too? What % of incoming students even get RAs? I assume RAs are only available in the CAPP department and not in allied departments like stats, economics, CS, etc.
  4. Is the math exam you're supposed to take before classes start very difficult? What % of incoming students fail it? Would someone with a quantitative background (like math, stats, econometrics, CS, etc.) have to be concerned?
  5. How do you determine if the standard option or the advanced option for stats and program evaluations courses are appropriate for you?
  6. What's the typical undergraduate degree of MSCAPP students? Do students outside of CS, Math, Stats, Economics degrees get into this program?
  7. How many years of industry experience does a typical incoming student have?
  8. How difficult is for students in the CAPP program to get an internship in summer? What happens if you fail to land one?
