Bollywood Plans Blockbuster Bonanza for 2012
Vue Cinema's Manish Gajjar previews the year ahead
2011 has been another challenging year for Bollywood due to the continual global economic down turn greatly affecting cinema footfalls.
But that did not stop the film industry from diversifying into many genres and also delving into 3D digital technology.
First half of 2011 saw only four releases raking in over half million mark at the UK box office.
This included the Deols' musical comedy Yamla Pagla Deewana (*£530,822) and Akshay Kumar's Southall-based Patiala House (*£708,447 proving to be popular amongst audiences.
Akshay's all out comedy Thank You (£461,567) and the Salman Khan's Thailand-based musical romance Ready (£624,556) also got the box office tills jingling again!
Yet some critically and commercially viable films opened below expectations. These included Rani Mukerji's No One Killed Jessica (£181,225), Aamir Khan's real life social issues-based drama, Dhobi Ghat (£229,903), Abhishek Bachchan's slick whodunit Game (£117,865) and Deepika Padukone's edgy dramatic thriller Dum Maro Dum (£211,818).
Summer releases proved to be more successful with the action romance Bodyguard (£1,414,971) getting its mega Eid release, love story Mausam (£381,666) and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (£472,871).
But the cinemas digital rollout during the last quarter proved taxing for distributors getting to grips with 3D and 2D digital technology.
Even so the Hindi sci-fi Diwali release Ra One (£1,480,092) headed by King Khan established itself as the biggest commercial blockbuster in 3D format.
On the other hand highly charged Rockstar (£365,611) did not fare well but proved Ranbir Kapoor's acting prowess whilst the small budget film The Dirty Picture (£80,000) with Vidya Balan caught everyone by surprise critically and commercially.
As predicted King Khan's Christmas crime thriller Don 2 ended 2011 on a high note with its producers laughing all the way to the bank!
Despite recession hitting the industry very hard big Bollywood releases have been lined up for 2012.
Remake of the Hollywood flick Italian Job which is Abbas-Mustan's high octane thriller Players stars Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu and Bobby Deol.
Bollywood's latest couple Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza will star in Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya a comic caper with kidnapping confusions and mistaken identities.
Hrithik Roshan steps into Amitabh Bachchan's shoes in the 1990s remake of the revenge crime drama Agneepath with Priyanka Chopra as his love interest and Sanjay Dutt as the menacing villain.
Anil Kapoor is a police officer in the action thriller Tezz revolving around a bomb planted on a train travelling from London to Glasgow also starring Ajay Devgn, Kangna Renaut, and Sameera Reddy.
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is a romantic comedy based in Las Vegas with Imraan Khan as a straight forward guy falling for Kareena Kapoor a feisty and disorderly female who changes his life forever.
Karan Johar is also back with three newcomers instead of King Khan in the romantic musical comedy Student Of The Year.
Darjeeling forms the backdrop for Barfee a romantic murder mystery showing Ranbir Kapoor as a deaf and mute guy. Priyanka Chopra is also said to play a similar challenging role in the movie which comes from the director of Kites.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif who play a couple in the romantic thriller Ek Tha Tiger directed by Kabir Khan of Kabul Express fame revolves around a scientist who is suspected of leaking information about nuclear missile technology.
And Bollywood's most talked about couple, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will appear in Agent Vinod a realistic action thriller based on the story of a spy.
Prateik Babbar of Dhobi Ghat fame is starring in Ek Deewana Tha, a romance between a Hindu Telugu boy and a Malayali Christian girl focusing on the troublesome role of religion in their relationship.
Meanwhile Bipasha Basu and Madhavan will take the role of counsellors helping youngsters with relationship problems in the drama Jodi Breakers also starring Omi Vaidya and Milind Soman.
Director Sujoy Ghosh deviates from his sci-fi flick Aladin to bring us an action revenge thriller titled Kahaani. Vidya Balan plays a pregnant woman all out to settle an old score with the people who betrayed her.
Last appeared in Dhobi Ghat, Aamir Khan returns as a police officer in the suspense drama Talaash tackling the sensitive issue of prostitution also starring Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji.
Directed by famous dancer Prabhu Deva, Akshay Kumar stars alongside Dabanng girl Sonakshi Sinha in the action thriller Rowdy Rathore. Both stars will also join Shreyas Talpade and Minissha Lamba in the 3D action comedy Joker.
Diwali 2012 release will also see Akshay in the comic caper Khiladi 786 with Himesh Reshammiya and Paresh Rawal. Also expected to release on this auspicious day is yet-to-be titled but keenly awaited Yash Chopra directed romantic drama starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
Fans who remember Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 1979 comedy Gol Maal will be treated with a remake titled Bol Bachchan. Abhishek Bachchan will essay Amol Palekar's role and Ajay Devgn Utpal Dutt's.
So popular of his realistic portrayal of life in his movies director Madhur Bhandarkar will make his presence felt with the satirical drama Heroine starring Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda
And there is sequels aplenty in-store too! Tusshar, Riteish, Bipasha sets the screens alight in the comic caper Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.
Housefull 2 will once again see the escapades of Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh and Bipasha Basu.
Meanwhile Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda and Prachi Desai play the leads in the crime thriller Jannat 2. If Raaz 2 was the scariest movie, then expect Raaz 3 to be even more chilling from Mahesh Bhatt and his lead hero Emraan Hashmi.
And cop thriller Dabanng 2 ends 2012 with a bang as good old Chulbul Pandey moves from his dusty village to the city where his arrogance clashes with the rich and elite. It looks like 2012 is going to be even better than its previous years with a diverse range of releases for Bollywood fans!
Manish Gajjar is one of UK's leading Bollywood authorities working as a Hindi film adviser for VUE cinemas in the UK.

Friend Prevents Teen from Being Lured into Sexual Act Leading to Arrest of Rockledge Man
July 5th, 2018 | By Marlo DelSordo
An adult friend prevents a teen from being sexually assaulted and leads to the arrest of a suspect from Rockledge. The Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and Abington Township Police Chief Patrick Molloy announced the arrest of Anthony Cheathem, 35, of Rockledge, on charges of Criminal Intent to Commit Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse with a Child Under 16, Statutory Sexual Assault, Unlawful Contact with a Minor, Indecent Assault, Corruption of a Minor, Criminal Use of a Communication Facility and other related charges.
On July 1, 2018, a report was filed with Abington Police regarding an adult male attempting to lure a child over the Internet. The victim, a 15-year-old female, was sent a message on Instagram complimenting her on her photos and including a cell phone number. The girl showed the message to an adult friend, who pretended to be the juvenile and began exchanging messages with the male while clearly stating she was just 15 years old. The defendant's messages stated he wanted to meet the teenager and became sexual in nature. At that point, the victim's family contacted police.
Abington Det. Rick Beaghley executed an account takeover of the victim's Instagram account on July 2, and conversed with the defendant, repeatedly stating that the girl was just 15 years old. The defendant described sexual acts he wanted to perform with the girl and sent a sexually explicit photo to her. Det. Beaghley, posing as the child, arranged a meeting for 3:30 p.m., July 3, 2018, in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in Abington Township. At the meet location, the defendant's car was identified, and police moved in to arrest Cheathem.
Cheathem was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Richard Welsh, who set bail at $250,000 cash, along with the provisions of no contact with minors and no use of the Internet and social media. The defendant failed to post bail and was remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m., July 16, 2018, before Magisterial District Judge Juanita A. Price.

Today At Wet Dog Tile!
This week at Wet Dog we've been busy preparing all the things needed for a new show room we're adding! We've had to get murals, borders, samples, displays, and more ready to ship out to the new show room - we're super excited!
Here's some photos of what we did today!
Here is an "As The Tide Goes Out" mural - a bit wider than our standard 18"x18" with a few Baby Sea Turtles added in!
This is a border that has already been made, glued, cut, and wrapped! Now all that's left is to package it up and ship it off to it's new home! They grow up so fast!
Last but not least, we put in a glaze firing and started up the kiln! Weekends are great for kiln firings because there's no rush and there's no one in the shop while the kiln heats it up!


This next real wedding I'm sharing with you is a timeless and traditional classic!
Our stunning bride had a slight ballerina vibe going on with her ballerina bun and romantic tulle wedding dress – and their wedding photographer, Ben Clark, captured some wonderful bride & groom portraits! Enjoy.
I grew up learning ballet – so I loved the full skirt on my wedding dress. I simply loved the texture of the skirt and the way that it moved in the wind too. So romantic.
I choose a semi-structure bouquet to reflect the silhouette of my wedding gown. I opted for white so as not to detract from my gown and I selected pink for the bridesmaids because it's feminine and looked great with the navy blue bridesmaid dresses.
My father walked me down the aisle to the Bridal Chorus by Wagner. The bridesmaids walked downs to Bach – Prelude no. 1 in C Major.
The wedding cake was called Frosted Indulgence – a 3 tier mud cake with a lace motive around the middle tier (to compliment the beaded lace on my gown) and with sugar flowers.
Scott and his family are from New Zealand – in his hometown, there is a boutique chocolate maker. Therefore, we purchased chocolate sheep and kiwi's as wedding favours for the guests to enjoy at home.
Ben Clark Photography was our wedding photographer. Ben was fabulous on the day – he was extremely professional and relaxed and knew what to do to obtain the shots. Many guests commented on how great he was and how respectful he was throughout the day and night.
If you could impart any words of wisdom to a future bride to be planning her wedding, what would they be?
Try to have everything planned at least 2 weeks from your day. Whilst there will always be things that need to be done later, it will give you time to relax and to enjoy the day. Also, the day goes extremely quickly so I am very pleased to have lovely pictures to remember the day.
Seeing my husband for the first time (and his comment in relation to how large my dress was).
Every picture is really beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. It's truly breathtaking!


Real Star Sri Hari is the latest wicket to fall in the YSR Congress Party from the Telangana region, leaving Jagan Mohan Reddy in deep dilemma. With Jagan and Vijayamma quitting their MP and MLA posts over Congress' decision to bifurcate the state, Sri Hari had no option but to quit the party, giving in to the sentiments of people from his region.
That's not all. Sri Hari has given a clear indication that he is set to join the Congress party that has announced separate statehood for Telangana.
News is that Sri Hari has done the necessary ground work to join the national party. Sri Hari shares a great bond with Union Tourism Minister Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan as he acted with the later in Magadheera and in Zanjeer as Sher Khan.
Sri Hari hails from Nizamabad district and the talk doing the rounds is that he is expecting a MLA ticket from his native district.

Endangered: Gasser Block 918 Court Ave, Chariton
Preservation Iowa's Most Endangered 2018: Gasser Block 918 Court Ave, Chariton (Lucas County)
Endangered: Gasser Block, Chariton
The Gasser Block constructed in 1875 is the oldest building on the south side of Chariton's square and one of the largest. It also has the distinction of being one of only two 19th century structures on that part of the square to survive major fires in 1930 and 1965. It has been altered little except for the gray paint that covers its original brickwork. George Frederick Gasser a baker and grocer by trade built the two-story brick building. An article in the December 29, 1875 Chariton Patriot newspaper described the new construction, "The lower story is divided into two store rooms, and the upper into four rooms, three of which will be used for offices and the other and rear room…is designed for a dancing hall, or for other purposes requiring more space than the common office rooms."
Back side of the Gasser Block building has been structurally compromised
In 1885, Gasser sold the building to Lewis Bonnett, at the time one of Lucas County's most successful farmers and the post office moved into the building where it remained for some years. The Gasser Block has had many owners in the remaining years and many tenants. Most recently, it housed a bar and pool hall which closed in 2015. The property is located within the nationally recognized Lucas County Courthouse Square Historic District.
The owners in recent years had difficulties in maintaining the property but were unwilling to sell. In May 2017 the bricks collapsed on the lower half of the east wall and in August the front north east corner collapsed. Since then the City has been working to acquire the property.
The City of Chariton has employed a structural engineer to assess the cost of demolition of the property and the City Council has recently voted to proceed. But the Lucas County Preservation Alliance is also meeting with a contractor and the structural engineer to determine if it would be possible to retain and stabilize the remaining 3/4 of the current property. It would be difficult to lose another downtown property and the Chariton square would be forever altered by its loss.
Preservation Iowa's Most Endangered Property program was started in 1995 and implemented to educate Iowans about the special buildings and historic sites that are slowly and gradually slipping away from us. In the past 20 years, Preservation Iowa has designated over 140 archaeological sites, churches, landscapes and a variety of other buildings.
The full list of Preservation Iowa's 2018 Most Endangered Properties includes:
Endangered: IOOF/Masonic Lodge Hall, Garnavillo
Endangered: Otto Rudolph Furniture Building, Cherokee
Endangered: Sanxay-Gilmore House, Iowa City
Endangered: Beach Building, Ackley
Endangered: St. Mary's School, Waterloo
Endangered: Star Theater, Sioux Rapids
Endangered: Wilson High School, Cherokee

FLASH Acquires NYC parking tech leader Ticketech
Acquisition accelerates future-ready technology for Ticketech customers and integrates the end-to-end journey for drivers in the most dynamic mobility market on earth
NEW YORK, New York – April 27, 2022 – FLASH, the global leader in cloud parking software and mobility transformation, today announced the acquisition of Ticketech, the parking technology leader in New York City. The acquisition expands the network of customers running FLASH's Mobility Hub Operating System and connects New York City's $22 billion dollar parking market to the emerging mobility marketplace.
Ticketech has powered New York City's attended valet operations since revolutionizing parking revenue control in the 1970s. Ticketech enables over 700 parking locations and processes over 20 million transactions per year for local parking operators, regional and national enterprise operators, and real estate owners. Their digital platform and automated vehicle recognition system allow for a seamless, mobile-first parking experience. They also maintain key integrations and partnerships with accounting systems, payment providers, demand aggregators, and other key stakeholders.
Launched in 2011, FLASH is the leading provider of cloud-born parking technology for managing parking, enabling digital driver engagement, and introducing new mobility services. FLASH gives asset owners and operators the tools to transform isolated parking assets into connected mobility hubs that connect to the emerging marketplace for digital mobility.

Real estate owners, parking operators, and cities leveraging FLASH's platform are equipped to optimize supply and demand for urban mobility, eliminate the fragmented customer journey, and tackle the most pressing societal issues like congestion and pollution.
New York City is the most dense and mode-diverse mobility ecosystem in the world. With myriad ways of getting around comes complex challenges and potential solutions, ranging from congestion pricing, demand for reservable EV charging, and the inevitable expansion of personal mobility vehicles. The NY parking market is a juggernaut with a direct economic output of $22 billion annually, dwarfing Los Angeles and Chicago by two-fold, and accounting for 17.5% of the US parking industry's annual revenue. Ticketech's NY-specific solution combined with FLASH's mobility hub operating system is the necessary integration layer to create a seamless ecosystem for every smart city stakeholder.
"When we founded FLASH, the parking industry was poised for transformation, and digital mobility platforms were nascent. Today we are rapidly future-proofing urban mobility infrastructure by providing an agile, cloud-based, mobile-first platform for the opportunities facing drivers, utilities, asset owners, and parking operators," stated Dan Sharplin, CEO, and Chairman of FLASH. "New York is the most dynamic global mobility market and we see massive opportunity in modernizing the New York parking and mobility industry. Ticketech shares our vision and is the perfect partner to tackle this unique, sizable opportunity."
"Ticketech's mission is to empower parking providers and we are excited to continue this mission. From that perspective it's business as usual – we put our customers and partners first. From digital payments and camera-based machine vision to the proliferation of connected and electric vehicles, we see this investment as an opportunity to strategically position our operator partners to capitalize on these technologies- delighting their parkers, while lowering overhead costs and increasing revenue. We're looking to do more, better, and faster," shared Diego Cuenca, CEO of Ticketech.
FLASH will accelerate Ticketech's technology innovations and operations, in addition to investing and expanding the NY-based team to help Ticketech's customers tackle New York's unique mobility challenges. As the Ticketech platform evolves, customers can offer a complete end-to-end digital journey leveraging FLASH's demand partnerships, integrations including Auto OEMs, and layering established mobility extensions for personal and fleet EV charging, private scooter fleets, rideshare staging/charging, and more.
"With FLASH we will accelerate a rapid and necessary evolution across New York's mobility landscape, enabling the transformation and growth of Ticketech's operator partners with a fully-digitalized, seamless experience for New York parkers, while also elevating job opportunities within the industry," Cuenca continued.
Today, FLASH powers over 10,000 customer locations across all major U.S. cities and Canada, processing over 11 million parkers per month and over $1 billion in annual transactions. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Hartland Plaza now offers 24 scooters and three docking stations at the parking garages located at 1717 West 6th Street in Austin; and 24 scooters at three docking stations located in the parking garages of 823 Congress. This collaboration will enable the owners and operators of these pilot locations to better serve their customers by offering half- and full-day rentals. This is a new, convenient rental option providing more time for roundtrip last-mile usage allowing riders to incorporate scooters into their daily transportation routines.
Scooter ridership has almost doubled since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a leading micromobility company. To help garage and parking lot owners and operators meet that demand, FlashParking has created a private scooter fleet solution that will drive an entirely new line of revenue. Flash's scooter solution organizes, charges, and provides scooters for round trip usage, perfect for consumers looking to add scooters to their mobility routine. FlashParking plans to expand this offering to garage and parking lot owners and operators across the country as part of a continued scaled rollout that is scheduled to begin before the end of the year.
"FlashParking's scooter solution coupled with FlashOS, the industry's only mobility hub operating system, helps garage and parking lot owners turn their isolated parking assets into fully-connected mobility hubs. This future-ready technology attracts new customers with micro-mobility options and helps operators position themselves ahead of competitors to meet surging consumer demand," said Dan Sharplin, CEO at FlashParking. "This new offering encourages and incentivizes riders with a clear place to park, while also attracting new parkers who will choose a garage that offers micro-mobility options."
FlashParking's private scooter fleet offers a unique customer proposition to garage and parking lot owners and operators designed to generate and diversify revenue, as well as increase parking occupancy with last-mile mobility. This is the only scooter solution on the market to offer round-trip rides, meaning customers can have a personal scooter for half- or full-day usage before returning to the parking location when they are done. The scooter software locks the scooter for anyone other than the customer during this time. The ability to lock the scooter is the differentiating factor versus the standard per minute rate structures and is strictly available at locations powered by FlashParking's mobility platform.
The scooter charging stations, which are a product of Bird and SwiftMile, will have exclusive Flash branding to denote they are part of a proprietary private fleet. Mobility hubs that have scooters will also appear on the Bird app and will be identified with the FlashParking icon.
The scooter pilot in Austin is the first of many mobility services FlashParking will roll out over the next 6 months.

ParkNews.biz week of Jan 5th- 11th, 2021 – FlashParking, Arrive, Airport Travel, PT Plus and more …
This past week, the first week of the new year, the biggest news in Parking Industry were a merger of FlashParking and Arrive: Jan 5, 2021 – FlashParking and Arrive to Merge — Creating the First End-to-End Digital Mobility Platform Serving Consumers, Parking Operations, and Mobility Service Partners
Together, they are determined "to create a company designed to bring digital and touchless technologies to parking garages. The pandemic has accelerated the need for such services, the CEOs of both companies said in an interview, and the combined business aims to help garages with not just digital parking solutions, but a range of micro-mobility tools designed to reimagine what a parking garage can be."
In the past year, despite the pandemic, FlashParking grew by 50%: Currently, FlashParking has around 230 employees, while it had 150 at the start of 2020. And although Arrive went through some furloughs, currently they have more than 100 employees, thus the combine company has 330 persons.
The merger promises not to result in any layoffs.
Dan Sharplin, the CEO of FlashParking said: "Flash was born out of a need to digitize and modernize parking infrastructure," and the merger was a "hand-in-glove fit."
Arrive's CEO Yona Shtern said: "This is a growth story not only for the company, but for the people within it."
And speaking of growth, the best news story of this past week goes to Orlando International Airport and their volume of travel: Jan 11, 2021 – Orlando International Airport Had Most Departures in US During Holidays
"Economic forecasters say that where there's an increase in travelers, there's an increase in tourism dollars, and this could be a sign that things are looking up in 2021.
A couple of businesses along Orlando's International Drive, in the tourist district, said this past holiday season brought much more business than they were expecting during the pandemic.
The travel numbers through OIA were much higher than airport officials anticipated, though they were down 42% from 2019's holiday season, pre-pandemic.
That said, OIA shot past its departure passenger number predictions for this year by more than 100,000.
One economic expert said it's a good sign, and not just for the airport.
"It presents, or indicates, a much more rapid recovery than I think was expected when we were at the worst of this pandemic, and there was virtually no passenger traffic at the airport," said Sean Snaith, Director of UCF's Institute for Economic Forecasting."
This Sunday, I flew back from Fort Myers, FL via Charlotte, NC to LAX. Through the pandemic, I have flown back and forth to Florida several times be it via Dallas or Charlotte. Yesterday, the airports in Fort Myers, FL and in Charlotte, were packed. Way busier than anytime I have seen it in the past 7 months. The restaurants in Charlotte, bars and shops were especially full. Everyone was wearing masks yet, there seemed eagerness and hope for normal travel to resume and for life to blossom again.
And to go on, we must. With common sense but courage to keep on living and thriving. Thus, this past week, we have created Parking Today Plus: Jan 6, 2021 – Parking Today Announces "PT Plus"
"Parking Today announces that membership is now open in PT Plus. This membership enables companies to provide an unlimited number of news releases to be posted on Parknews.biz plus have them digitally printed in our online issue of Parking Today each month."
Therefore, we are looking forward to your news releases and to this new digital section – news hub as what is happening within your company.
Have a wonderful and blessed new week.

FlashParking Partners with Bird and EVBox to Offer Asset Owners and Operators Revenue Diversification Beyond Parking
FlashParking Announces Expansion of Mobility Ecosystem
FlashParking Partners with Bird and EVBox to Offer Asset Owners and Operators
Revenue Diversification Beyond Parking
AUSTIN, Texas – FlashParking, the leader in mobility hub technology, announces today the expansion of their ecosystem with key mobility services that maximize parking asset utilization and enhance the consumer experience. By partnering with Bird, the global leader in electric scooters, and EVBox, a global manufacturer of electric vehicle charging stations, FlashParking is enabling asset owners and operators to better respond to the rapidly evolving mobility ecosystem, tap into additional revenue streams, and access new customers via differentiated services.
An explosion of electric vehicles, rideshares, scooters, delivery vans, and more have created chaos on city roads and at the curbside. In response, earlier this year, FlashParking launched FlashOS, the industry's only mobility hub operating system, that powers the transformation of parking assets into connected mobility hubs where parking, mobility, logistics, and transportation intersect. A key component of FlashOS is a unique ecosystem of third-party parking integrations, which now include mobility services with Bird and EVBox. Powered by open-API architecture, Flash's unrivaled and continually evolving ecosystem enables asset owners and operators to future-proof parking operations, increase the productivity of existing infrastructure, and create new business models and revenue streams.
COVID-19 has changed the mobility landscape, accelerating the need for mobility hubs. Consumers have abandoned mass transit in favor of personal vehicles and last-mile open-air transit options, like Bird, who has seen its ridership and length of ride double. Coupled with mandates in municipalities like California that can require up to 10% of parking spaces have EV charging installed, asset owners and operators now more than ever need a partner to help get real estate ready to meet current consumer demands. This is how asset owners and operators can utilize Flash's latest mobility services with Bird and EVBox to stay competitive and relevant with consumers:
Bird: To help asset owners and operators meet the rising demand for scooters, FlashParking is partnering with micromobility juggernaut Bird to create a private scooter fleet solution that will drive incremental revenue. Flash's integrated micromobility solution organizes, charges, and provides scooters for round trip usage, perfect for consumers looking to add scooters to their mobility routine.
EVBox: To ensure asset owners and operators can provide the charging needs of EVs and that EV consumers can access chargers as easily as a parking spot, FlashParking is partnering with a leading global energy service provider, EVBox. Working together, the two companies created a comprehensive energy management solution integrated into FlashParking's mobility hub platform. Building off a decade of experience in Europe and over four years of applying that expertise to the North American market, EVBox was the perfect partner to develop an EV charging solution that offers easy-to-use, flexible charging options with a sleek, attractive design.
"With our industry-leading technology and ecosystem of unique partnerships FlashParking is turning parking garages into connected mobility hubs for all types of passengers and vehicles," said Dan Sharplin, CEO of FlashParking. "Parking garages and sur lots will no longer only be used for parking cars. They will have charging stations for electric cars and scooters, car cleaning services, valet parking, delivery docks, and launching and landing pads for drones. FlashParking is demolishing the status quo and delivering technology that empowers asset owners and operators to create and manage mobility hubs that stay in lock-step with evolving consumer habits and mobility technology; the partnerships with Bird and EVBox are just the beginning."
With the mobility infrastructure in place, asset owners and operators can manage their connected ecosystem from one platform. Ultimately, mobility hubs will not only have a real impact on congestion and emissions but will also give asset owners and operators a seat at the smart city table.
These mobility service announcements follow the recent launch of touchless parking with FlashMotion hardware and over-the-air software updates for SAFEvalet, adding to the suite of technology solutions within FlashOS.
FlashParking is the leader in mobility hub technology, powering the transformation from isolated parking assets to connected mobility hubs with the first Mobility Hub Operating System. Once underutilized parking assets are optimizing operations, gaining real-time visibility, and connecting to the smart city through FlashParking's suite of enhanced 21st-century parking, a robust business intelligence engine, and partnerships in the logistics, transportation, and mobility ecosystems.

Albany anti war conference plans protests
By Meredith Aby-Keirstead |

Fernando Figueroa, an activist with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in Florida, speaking at Albany conference. (Fight Back! News/Meredith Aby)
Albany, NY - The National Conference to Bring the Troops Home Now met in Albany, New York, July 23-25. Around 700 activists from across the country came together to discuss and debate how to build the anti-war movement and to plan for coordinated days of protest.
Fernando Figueroa, an activist with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in Florida, explained the role of the conference, "The workshops, resolutions and networking opportunities provided by this national peace conference are exactly the tools the student movement in general and SDS in particular need to build our movement. We are more determined now to end the wars in the Middle East and stop U.S. military aggression abroad than ever before."
At the conference, participants voted to organize for local actions between October 7 and 16 and for bi-coastal national protests on April 9 to focus on ending the U.S. wars and occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The conference supported emergency response actions to occur if the U.S. attacks or sponsors attacks on Iran and North Korea. The most significant vote was in solidarity with Palestine and in opposition to U.S. aid to Israel. The situation in Gaza and the deaths of the flotilla activists weighed heavily on the participants' hearts and minds. The conference voted overwhelmingly to support and organize actions in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Sarah Martin, a Palestine solidarity activist with Women Against Military Madness from Minnesota, said, "The many Palestine workshops were overflowing, proposals for solidarity and pro-Palestinian t-shirts were everywhere and the action proposal dealing with Palestine was strong and passed overwhelmingly."
The conference ended with a rally and march organized by the Muslim Solidarity Committee and Project Salam in support of Muslims targeted by pre-emptive prosecution. The march concluded at a local mosque that had been raided by the FBI. Family members of New York Muslims and activists spoke out about the persecution of the Muslim community that happened in the name of 'homeland security.' They denounced the trumped-up charges against Muslims and how they are used as an excuse for U.S. wars abroad.

Not a post about crappy trousers.
The French, expected to be the lead force in the UN paecekeeping force to be deployed alongside the Lebanese Army, have been their backsliding selves (as usual) Despite all the big talk and their posturing to make them look like players on the world scene, they have pledged a measly 200 troops to the force. A sqns worth of Engineers is a laughable amount, especially as Bangladesh have pledged 2000, Malaysia and Indonesia 1000 each too.
What a bunch of lamentable wasters. They talk the talk, but they most certainly do not walk the walk.
This was reported on 5live this morning with the deputy UN boss expressing his "disappointment"
Sorry no link, due to extremely low bandwidth connection.
I understand Maylasia and Indonesian do not aknowledge the Isreali state.
Is anyone truly surprised at another French military let-down?
Whatever happened to the Foreign Legion?
Guests are requested not to feed the vampires.
I am gross and perverted.
I have existed for years but very little has changed.
Im the best you can get, have you guessed me yet?
France's foreign policy does defy the imagination sometimes.
Don't talk the talk if you haven't walked the walk.
Probably just as well, they're a liability the rest of the UN could do without in Lebanon.
The UN wants some vanguard countries, notably France, Italy and Turkey, to send about 3,500 troops within the next ten days or so.
- and I certainly wouldn't have put those two words together in the same sentence!!!
Bangladesh have pledged 2000, Malaysia and Indonesia 1000 each too.
As long as they're prepared to get busy disarming Hisbollah or get busy stopping Merkavas in Divisional strength rolling over the top of their positions...Fine.
If they're not willing, or able to do one or the other they should just save us all some time and cash and stay at home.
Funny how the report doesn't mention the 1700 French already there under Op.Baliste, who are tasked , according to Michele Alliot-Marie with assisting future UN ops,in addition to their current role and possibly available for UN taskings though they remain directly under the control of the MDLDF. Chirac says 200 going now to be reinforced by another 200 shortly. As far as the French are concerned they will have 2100 in theatre.
France is also reluctant to confirm more troops until ROE's and tasking are finally defined.
Yes it's fun to bash les crapauds, but lets read around a bit more before we do hey?
One states that the French... Possibly the UN force as a whole will not be disarming the Hisbollah.
The other that the French... Possibly the UN force as a whole will not put themselves in a position where they could be drawn into conflict with Israel.
I'm forced to question why then they are bothering to deploy at all.
PTP is right on this one. Here is how French news is reporting it.
Bit different from our media reporting.
Just be grateful Tony isnt planning to send us!
Oh I'm sure he will, either way I wouldn't want to go you could end up being a target for both sides. Best idea of peacekeeping would be to mine the place to hell ensuring that no one can cross the border.

Q: Testing custom views with Robolectric: Width and height are always 0 I have build a custom View (DrawView) for a drawing app. It depends heavily on a real width and height for internal bitmaps. When I try to test it with Robolectric 2.2, the view has a length and width of 0 which crashes my internal logic. How can I mock a real screen size? I use a simple LinearLayout with the DrawView as the only element in it to test. Here is my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/drawViewLayout">
    <net.thoster.scribmasterlib.DrawView
        android:id="@+id/drawView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        />
</LinearLayout>

And this is my Unit Test:
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class DrawViewTest {
  Activity activity;
  DrawView drawView;
  LinearLayout layout;

  @Before
  public void setUp() throws Exception {

    ActivityController<Activity> activityController = Robolectric.buildActivity(Activity.class).create().start().resume()
        .visible();

    Activity activity = activityController.get();

    layout = (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(activity).inflate(R.layout.test, null);
    drawView = (DrawView) layout.findViewById(R.id.drawView);

  }

  @Test
  public void testFloodFill() throws Exception {
    System.out.println(drawView.getWidth());
    drawView.floodFill(new Point(1, 1), Color.BLACK, FloodFillMode.PIXEL);
    Bitmap b = drawView.getDrawingAsNewBitmap();
    int pixel = b.getPixel(2, 2);
    assertEquals(pixel, Color.BLACK);

  }

}

A: As erd points out at https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/819 ...

Robolectric isn't trying to emulate Android - just fake enough of it so you can write reasonable unit tests.  It doesn't surprise me that views don't have a width or height, since we're not doing anything that would cause a layout pass to happen.

Please see the bug for potential work arounds.

Andy Yerzy Stats & Scouting Report - Baseball America
Andy Yerzy
#38 | C | DiamondbacksARI
Reno Aces
Name: Andrew Jacob Yerzy
Born: Jul 5, 1998 in North York, ON Canada
High School: York Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto
Bats: L / Throws: R
Career 1,301 .236 .328 .394 49
Drafted in the 2nd round (52nd overall) by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2016 (signed for $1,214,100)
Yerzy homered in last summer's Under Armour All-American Game at Wrigley Field and has shown consistent hitting ability and present power from the left side. He's shown the ability to handle velocity at the plate with Canada's junior national team, playing top competition in trips to Florida and Arizona in the fall and spring. He's a tough profile for the draft in some ways, though, because of his lack of a defensive home. While he's improved behind the plate, he has fringy arm strength and some stiffness in his strong, 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame. Many scouts see him moving to first base, and it may be tough to buy him out of his Notre Dame commitment.
