The Arab Spring that began in Tunisia and spread throughout the Middle East shook the region. These populous movements unseated authoritarian rulers whose power and position were well entrenched, potentially setting numerous countries on a path towards democratization. This project seeks to explain why the democratic transitions within the countries of Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen have been largely unsuccessful. The large amounts of literature that flooded the academic forums through articles and books are analyzed, providing numerous explanations as to why these transitions have been unsuccessful such as polarization, deadlock, sectarianism, violence, and institutional conflict. This literature focuses on either one or several of the above-mentioned explanations while not pinning down a central cause for these phenomena, since they are all present in all three cases. This paper asserts that the cause of this hindered transition is the emphasis that these States placed upon electoral democracy. An emphasis placed on elections during transition highlighted and exacerbated factors (polarization, deadlock, sectarianism, violence, and institutional conflict) already present in these societies but kept dormant under authoritarian rule. To illustrate this the initial transitional government, representative body elected, and executive is analyzed to show how each governing unit stressed elections before a constitution. The identification of an overarching cause for the lack of fruitful transition like this project seeks to accomplish is of great importance, filling a much needed gap in the literature of comparative Middle Eastern revolutionary studies; along with providing foreign policy makers a tool to craft more impactful policy.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) loses $208m each year due to poor sanitation. The State as a duty bearer has limited capacity to act and improve the sanitation sector. In 2013–16 Oxfam developed a pilot sanitation marketing project for Gemena, a middle-size town in Sud-Ubangi province. Sanitation marketing uses a mix of marketing approaches to increase the demand for and supply of quality sanitation facilities (e.g. latrines). Eighteen months after the project in Gemena ended, Oxfam revisited. It learned that, while it is possible to implement a sanitation marketing programme in a fragile context, the two-and-a-half years of implementation in this case was not a long enough period for the market to sufficiently establish itself to become self-sustaining.

Climate change fight still makes the EU headlines during the Covid-19 crisis
The economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic should not delay the European Union's ambitious climate change measures. The Commission has confirmed that the work on long-term policy priorities such as the Green Deal is continuing.
Offshore wind farms: too much energy is lost in cables
Offshore wind farms play an increasingly important role in renewable power generation. According to WindEurope, Europe now has a total installed offshore wind capacity of 15,780 MW.
Creating Europe's new backbone for efficient power distribution
Over the last few decades the energy landscape has been changing drastically in Europe. An increasing amount of electricity is now generated from renewable sources, such as solar and wind energy.
Green energy and politics: crowdfunding to the rescue?
The Paris climate change pact , which entered into force last year, was announced with a huge fanfare. The deal aims to limit the rise in average global temperatures to "well below" two degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
Assessing wind resources in our cities
The 43-story Strata tower in London was one of the first buildings in the world to incorporate wind turbines into its structure. It has three small turbines – each with a rated capacity of 19 kilowatt hours – built into its roof.
Small wind turbines: the art of disguise
The use of small wind turbines (SWTs) is growing in appeal thanks to a changing trend in the energy sector, from a centralised system to a distributed one.
Money-saving small wind turbines: myth or reality?
Getting clean energy through your own turbine without relying on a central grid sounds great, but with subsidies being cut across Europe, is it too good to be true? Those with plenty of experience with wind turbines are quick to concede the financial challenges of this green technology.
Small wind turbines: navigating the 'jungle'
Most EU countries enforce a legal obligation to only use wind turbines certified by an accredited organisation.
Crossing borders to crowdfund renewables
Renewable energy crowdfunding involves three different parties: the fundraising platform, the investors who generally expect a return, and project developers needing money. They may come from different nations .
Small wind turbines: a glimmer of hope for Poland's wind energy sector?
In 2016, the Polish parliament, where the conservative Law and Justice party has an outright majority, voted one of the most severe anti-wind energy bills in Europe .
Social, green, but primarily as an investment: all the features of energy crowdfunding
There are three ways a crowdfunding project can be financed. Lending: the entrepreneurs borrow money and pay interest; equity: investors in the project become its shareholders; donations: no reward is to be expected (there is a fourth way, a mix of equity and lending called "hybrid").
Gauging public opinion on small wind turbines
Recent studies suggest that around 70 to 80 percent of people in Europe support wind farms, although there are still concerns around noise and aesthetics.
Gone with the wind farms – Six of the world's top offshore arrays in pictures
United Kingdom - London Array With a peak rated power of 630 megawatts, London Array is the largest wind farm in Europe by capacity, and also the largest offshore plant in the world.
Energy crowdfunding: the new way to boost renewables
It's a brand new sector: the first steps date back to 2012. Today energy crowdfunding is a way of financing solar panel or wind turbine projects.
The small wind turbines you'll want in your back yard
Opponents to wind turbines often claim that the noise and vibrations from the turbines affect their health , leading to sleep disturbance, headaches and a host of other problems.
Reducing the cost of wind energy for a renewable future
In 2015 Denmark produced 42% of its electricity from wind turbines, breaking the world record of 39% that it set the previous year. But, this is only the beginning.
New erosion protection for offshore wind turbines
The harsh offshore environment with heavy rain causes the blades to erode , leading to a significant reduction in efficiency and energy production.
Dressing the power lines to bring more renewables to the cities
To date, European consumers pay more for energy from renewables than for energy from conventional resources. One of the reasons is still the immaturity of the technology used for harnessing and distributing renewable energy.
Wind energy costs approach nonrenewable levels
All too often, conversations on renewable energy meander toward the same end: green technology is a nice thing, though it has to become economically viable before widespread adoption becomes the norm. ...
Smart grid: A grid suitable for renewable energy
Traditionally our electricity grids were designed to move power from large nuclear and fossil fuel power plants to consumers, but renewable energy will see changes to allow smaller power generation from wind and solar to be hooked up to the grid.

20% increase in global depression in a decade
According to the head of the WHO, worldwide depression figures are a wake-up call for all countries to rethink their approaches to mental health and to treat it with urgency.
Depressed man – iStock ~
Cases of depression have ballooned almost 20% in a decade, making the debilitating disorder linked to suicide the leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
By 2015, the number of people globally living with depression, according to a revised definition, had reached 322 million, up 18.4% since 2005, the UN agency said.
New figures a wake-up call
"These new figures are a wake-up call for all countries to rethink their approaches to mental health and to treat it with the urgency that it deserves," WHO chief Margaret Chan said in a statement.
In South Africa, like in many other developing countries, mental health doesn't feature as a public health priority, and in rural communities mental health is not supported at all.
According to the WHO's definition, depression is more than just a bout of the blues.
It is a "persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that people normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities for two weeks or more".
Lack of energy, shifts in appetite or sleep patterns, substance abuse, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness and thoughts of self-harm or suicide are also common, and can wreak havoc on entire families.
The drop in productivity, and other medical conditions often linked to depression, also takes a financial toll, with the global cost estimated at $1 trillion (about R13 trillion) annually, the WHO said.
Treating mental health
Shekhar Saxena, head of the agency's mental health and substance abuse department, said Thursday that both psycho-social and medical treatments could be highly effective, insisting on the importance of reaching more of those in need.
Even in the most developed countries, around half of people suffering from depression are not diagnosed or treated, and the percentage soars to between 80 and 90% in less developed nations.
Treatment can be difficult to access, while a fear of stigma also prevents many people from seeking the help required to live healthy and productive lives, the agency said.
According to the WHO, every dollar invested in improving access to treatment leads to a return of $4 (about R52) in better health and productivity.
And "early identification and treatment of depression is a very effective means of decreasing death by suicide," Saxena told reporters.
About 800 000 people commit suicide worldwide every year, amounting to one suicide every four seconds.
And the link to depression is clear.
Saxena pointed to studies showing that 70 to 80% of people who commit suicide in high-income countries, and around half of those who kill themselves in low-income countries, suffer from mental disorders, of which depression is the most common.
Mental healthcare in SA
It is a frightening fact that around a fifth (20%) of all South Africans will experience a depressive disorder at least once during their lifetime and the incidence of suicide in South Africa has soared to 23 a day, according to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG).
Depression is fortunately a highly treatable condition and the vast majority (between 80 and 90%) of people have a good response and experience relief from their symptoms.

What if men were able to use contraceptives similar to the pill?
What if men were able to use contraceptives similar to the pill? It would potentially enable women and men to share the responsibility for birth control more equally. A new study has found that a hormone jab that dramatically lowers men's sperm count is almost 96% effective in preventing pregnancy, making it "far better than the condom" and putting it "in the same ballpark as the pill". While promising, the combination of hormones used resulted in unacceptable side-effects, including depression and increased libido, sending researchers back to the drawing board for now.
From fatigue to anger: the hidden 'faces' of depression
Not everyone knows that there are different ways in which depression can present. Here is a guide to understanding the disease.
4 unusual symptoms of depression
Although feeling sad or having the 'blues' is a part of depression, there are a number of symptoms that are often overlooked.

Teen suicide: recognise the warning signs


In other news some Greeks have borrowed the artwork from the 2009 poster for some protest or other – http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=1170049 – apparently they're from Thessaloniki, apparently the group is called "workers and unemployed for an independent – class labour movement" (which you've got to admit is a pretty catchy name!). Anyhow, cool I guess, even if they don't credit the source of the image!
Aww yeah, this has come out looking great!

SYDNEY (AP) — Five children died and four others were in critical condition on Thursday after falling from a bouncy castle that was lifted 10 meters (33 feet) into the air by a gust of wind at a school on Australia's island state of Tasmania.
The school was holding a celebration to mark the end of the school year.
The children who died included two boys and two girls in year 6, which would make them 10 or 11 years old, said Tasmania police Commissioner Darren Hine. Police later Thursday confirmed a fifth child died in the hospital.

Five other children were being treated, including four in critical condition. Hine said an investigation is underway.
Images published by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation showed police officers consoling each other as paramedics provided first aid to victims.
Parents arrived at the school gate to collect their children as helicopters ferried the injured to hospitals.
Tasmania state Premier Peter Gutwein called the incident "simply inconceivable… I know this is a strong and caring community that will stand together and support one another."
Tasmania police commander Debbie Williams told reporters "several children fell from the jumping castle. It appears they may have fallen from a height of approximately 10 meters."
"This is a very tragic event and our thoughts are with the families and the wider school community and also our first responders," Williams said.

Gleanings: On Apples, Terroir, and Newark Cider.
Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, Volume 3 . New Jersey Historical Society, 1918 – New Jersey.
"At Newark is made great quantities of cider, exceeding any that we have from New England, Rhode Island or Long Island".
The high quality of Newark cider has been maintained from then until now.
"I obtained from Newark, New Jersey, many years since, some trees of the Harrison apple from which their celebrated cider is made. The cider I made from them was aqueous and seldom retains its sweetness till the proper season for bottling.
The best Newark cider is made on the Newark mountains on a poor stony soil.
This is the Harrison apple; its origin is in Orange, Essex county, N. J. and named after Simeon Harrison, owner of the farm. It is the most celebrated cider known. It bears large crops, fruit small. Eight bushels produce one barrel of cider; it is very rich in saccharine matter. This, the Campfield apple, has its origin in Newark, named after Matthew Campfield, one of the first settlers of Newark, almost universally used in the proportion of one-third with the Harrison in manufacturing the celebrated Newark cider. The fruit is rich in saccharine matter, and keeps well until spring; good for cooking, very little better for table use than a well-soaked cork from cider bottle.

Get your IoIC 30 under 30 nominations in
by Rachel Miller | 24 Jul 2014 | Internal Comms, Rachel | 0 comments
The search has started for the next group of the Institute of Internal Communication's 30 Under 30 – the rising talent within the internal communication profession.
Now in its third year, 30 Under 30 identifies young communicators who are really making a difference in their jobs.
If you (or someone you know) has the passion, expertise and achievement in IC to be a contender, now is the time to enter.
I've supported this initiative since it was launched as I think it's a brilliant opportunity for internal communicators to have their hard work recognised.
It always brings up discussions among the over 30s (and yes I'm in that age bracket) who claim there should be something similar for more seasoned professionals.
I don't have an issue with the fact it's for the under 30s because surely we should be encouraging people at the start of their careers to strive and achieve, and then duly reward their efforts?
In fact, people may have been working in the area for quite a while by that age – I was one of PR Week's 29 under 29 in 2009 and was the only internal communicator on the list. Even though I had been working for 10 years by then and was aged 29 (quick, don't do the maths or you'll get to my age :)), being recognised alongside my peers was incredibly rewarding.
So rather than grumble about the fact, I encourage all communicators consider those they mentor or in their teams, and have a conversation with them about putting themselves forward to be considered.
Entrants must be aged under 30, but can work in-house, for an agency or be freelance. The deadline is 26 September and further info can be found below or on the IoIC website.
Entries and supporting evidence should be sent by email to tim@ioic.org.uk.
Entries are invited from those under 30 on 31 December, 2014 who work in the UK Internal Comms industry
You can work in-house, for an agency or be freelance.
To enter, send IoIC a 60 second video (in a mov. File) in which you tell IoIC why you think you should be on the list.
You must also write a 400 word document that details: Your name, date of birth, job title, organisation, brief career details to date, contact details. Plus an example of how you've demonstrated expertise (with physical evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness), and how you are making a difference to internal communication.
So what are you waiting for? Get your thinking caps on about who you could encourage to enter, or if you do so yourself, I wish you the very best of luck.
Want to read about previous years? I've featured them on my blog including articles here and here.
P.s. I'm currently working on the content for a brand new social media course I'm running for the Institute of Internal Communication on 9 September in London. I'll keep you posted as to what it's all about and how you can sign up and take part.

Family of man who died after arrest "devastated"
The family of a man who died after an arrest in Leeds say he was a doting father.
West Yorkshire Police were making a pre-planned arrest at a house in Wortley last night when he collapsed. He died later in hospital.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission are investigating.
"As a family we are devastated by the death of Nazim Din. He was a family man, a loving husband and a doting father of five children who he leaves behind. Nazim had much to live for..."
The family then went on to say
"...He had done nothing wrong. He was a law-abiding and peaceful man. We urge the police to fully co-operate with those investigating Nazim's death so that the facts can be brought to light as quickly as possible. We have suffered a terrible loss and do not want to struggle for answers whilst grieving. That is the least the police and the press can do for us at this time."

It's amazing how from the day we're born until we gasp for our last breath we seem to always be taking orders from someone. As a child we take orders from our parents, maybe older siblings, teachers, etc. Then we think we're out of the house and can do what we want. NOT! If you go to college you're taking orders from professors when each assignment and exam will be due. Once in the work world, always taking orders from bosses. Then one day we all dream of the day of bliss ~ marriage ~ which once again leads to what? Taking orders. Then life becomes even more twisted when you're giving orders as a parent, only praying that your guidance will make a difference.
Following orders is the hard part of life. In the military there is a specific chain of command and everyone, no matter the rank, is always taking orders from someone else. Respect is shown to those in authority due to protocol, whether you agree with them or not. It's a shame that in every day life people tend to lose that aspect of showing respect to those in charge. Then again, there's always consequences when one doesn't follow orders; not just in the military.
Take a look back at Jonah and where He ended up by not following orders. Just a small example but it makes the point. In the Bible we are given guidelines as Christians but do we follow them? Are we praying a lot? Are we in the Word a lot? Oh, and then what do we do when God does call on us? Are we obedient as Abraham was or do we run like Jonah?
As a pianist, after you perform you hear by applause if people enjoyed your performance. As an author, sometimes you hear what people think but it's few and far between. It was because of lack of response there has been a dead space in my writing and blogging. I was beginning to wonder if I misunderstood God's calling ~ until this last weekend on Valentine's Day.
I spoke at Ardenwoods in Arden, SC. In January I spoke there and took copies of my book to give to the congregation as they had become family to me. Saturday, the 13th, I received a phone call asking for more books and if I would bring them for those who weren't there to receive one. That in itself put me on cloud nine with all of the compliments that followed in the voice mail. Of course, I was happy to take some more! I spoke Sunday morning on God's love for us and how we show our love for God. Afterwards, the gentleman who plays the organ started talking privately with me. He's 94 years old and cancer now has hospice visiting him once a week. He talked with me about what he's going through and stated he wasn't ready because he wasn't assured of his salvation. We spoke for a while, Bob Stacy joined in and tears were flowing. We prayed and then we all went to brunch. I was informed then that they have been trying to talk with him about his salvation for 12 years, yet I made the difference. To be blunt about it, God used me as His vessel.
What I'm trying to emphasize is how important it really is to follow God's orders when he calls on you. If I had not written this book, started speaking and gave some away, this wonderful man may still not be assured about his salvation in his final days. Seeing how God works using just one willing person to help someone else in their spiritual walk was truly a blessing. Others have affected mine and I saw the difference ~ but to think that God could use me? He can use anyone!
I shared this with you to remind you how much of a difference you can make in someone's life. You don't have to be an author or speaker, just be you ~ the perfect you that God created. When you're feeling that tug to speak to someone about Jesus, don't be afraid for the Holy Spirit will guide you. We are all witnesses and it's everyone's job, not just the pastor, to be talking with others about Jesus. I urge you to look beyond yourself, step out of your comfort zone ~ make a difference today.
Many times over we as humans need something to make logical sense in our pea brains. Yet, the two major aspects I find in the Bible spoken of over and over doesn't have any logic ~ faith and love. To "walk in faith" of an unknown God is held very true to my heart, yet doesn't necessarily 'fit' into the logical realm of things. Love ~ it's never logical! Ask yourself why you fell in love with your spouse. Again, there's no logic to a feeling that you know with every fiber of your being to be real.
Sadly enough, many people choose to disbelieve in God because of the logical thought process. No matter how much people can debate back and forth on evidence, it isn't logical. Even as a Christian I can say it isn't logical and I DO believe and have faith! (I also love my husband. Hahaha!) In fact, when we met he wasn't working so if I would have gone by 'logic' we never would have gotten married. When people asked me why I said it was because he brought me coffee. But, there was a connection with him I had never had with anyone else for no logical reason, yet it was there. At that time I let my walls down and got bit by the love bug. I had loved before and found I had never been 'in love' until that point in time.
As a Christian, I've always believed but it wasn't until I broke my back and was alone on top of a mountain that I once again, let whatever walls down I wasn't aware I had up, and got to know Jesus ~ I mean really have a relationship with Him. Some may say it was because I needed something to cling onto. Well, it remained the same once I got off my back ~ literally! We all go through spurts where our spiritual walk is better than at other times. I know I have since then and yet I still have that deep love for Him. Logical? You answer it.
I do know that many times over I giggle about the "illogical" aspects. Hear me out. An entity to speak words and the universe is created ~ and to top that one off, He already knows our history and future before creation! We are to walk in faith and believe in someone we haven't seen or touched. OK, from the outside looking in logic has no place in belief. That IS where faith comes in. The last half of John 20:29 says "…Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." (MSG) Reading that assures me that I AM BLESSED!
I will close with this one statement. For those who believe no explanation is necessary; for those who don't believe, no explanation is possible.
Yesterday I was talking with Peter about getting published. Of course, everyone dreams of their book being a best seller, but I spoke with him about the flip side of reality ~ the possibility that it may not do that well. His response was perfect in every way!! He said, "But it's not up to you or even the publishing company ~ it's up to God how well it will do. Just leave it all in His hands." I said, "Thanks, I needed that" Trying to stay humble and not get hopes high I did the one thing I tell others not to do and that is look at the worst case scenario. Of course, in a lot of ways it is good to do that. The one thing we always tend to forget is that God is in control and He makes the impossible possible!!

This facility is a top notch operation.
I am impressed with the cooperative and competent staff at this location.
This facility is in a great location! Great staff and super clean!!
It was very refreshing to have everything go so smooth. Thanks for everything!
I am truly grateful for the employees who helped to make my move in a success.
this facility is very clean and i feel secure when i go.customer service is awesome.
Very pleasant and accommodating. Iesha & Joe were very helpfull in assisting me with my rental. The layout and easy access to unit is very convenient. Best value I found in Snellville.
I chose the facility about 7 months ago due to it's location in reference to me. At all times the staff has been courteous and helpful. I generally deal with Justin who greets you by name and is always friendly and able to handle any concerns I may have had and take care of them in a professional and timely manner. So far so good.
Will keep increasing your rate?????
Facility is nice, clean and customer service is good, but I have been with this facility since July of 2010 and within the first 6 months they increased my storage fee. Now, as of Oct 2011 they have increased my storage fee again. I was with another storage company and had my unit there for 4 yrs and they never increased my storage fee. I would go back to them but it is not in my area. It's really irritating that this storage facility does this. So beware that the one price you think you will have, will increase. I would think they would be happy that you are a long time customer and not increase your rent???????
One day I recieved a call telling me in detail how I had left my unit unlocked. I was told that the door was closed and the lock was on but NOT LOCKED. That call let me know that security is not just sitting in an office, maybe awake, looking at a screen or just driving by the units every now and then, but really getting upclose to the units and LOOKING. I really appreciated that call.
ive only been with extra storage for two months, but I allready love the cleanliness and seeming flawless security. I made a great choice when i chose this facility to store my covered trailer.
This facility is designed to ensure that speeding and flooding is not possible.
These two features are a necessity when valuables are being stored and when my children are there assisting me with items being removed or added to the unit. Cleanliness is also important and this facility is very clean and well maintained.
I have been with this storage company for almost 3 yrs now and i have more than one large unit and they continue to raise my rent and im looking at the prices online and they r charging me almost double for the same unit so it seem to me that they r selfish and dont care about long standing customers i would think they would b more happy with a occupied unit instead of a empty one cause as of right now im looking for another storage company!

Wally Albright
The First Round-Up
Muster (livestock)
Round Up (ride)
Wally Albright (September 3, 1925 – August 7, 1999) was an American former child actor.
Albright was born Walton Algernon Albright, Jr. in Burbank, California. He appeared in a number of films during his career, and is notable for appearing in six Our Gang short subjects throughout the early 1930s. Though his tenure with the gang was brief, his role was usually that of the gang leader, alongside Matthew "Stymie" Beard.
Albright played so many roles as a baby that he was quite well known by the time he was three. He appeared in small parts of various films made by Hal Roach Studios. At the end of 1933, when Gus Meins took over directing, Our Gang needed a few new characters. Several older Our Gangers left the series in the summer of 1933 including Dorothy DeBorba and Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins. Wally would be one of several characters including Scotty Beckett and Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas to debut in 1934 in the Our Gang episode Hi Neighbor. Wally quickly became one of the bigger Our Gang stars. But much to the dismay of Hal Roach and director Gus Meins, Wally voluntarily left the gang and returned to a normal childhood life. However, Albright did play a small role in John Ford's version of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," appearing as an older child in the migrant camp. He watches as Ma Joad cooks a stew for her family and tells her, "Me and my brother, we et good." Another child later tells Ma he was lying. "I peeked through their window last night and they was eatin' fried dough, just like everybody else." He graduated high school and college as he entered adult life.

A muster (Au/NZ) or a roundup (US) is the process of gathering livestock. Musters usually involve cattle, sheep or horses, but may also include goats, camels, buffalo or other animals. Mustering may be conducted for a variety of reasons including routine livestock health checks and treatments, branding, shearing, lamb marking, sale, feeding and transport or droving to another location. Mustering is a long, difficult and sometimes dangerous job, especially on the vast Australian cattle stations of the Top End, 'The Falls' (gorge) country of the Great Dividing Range and the ranches of the western United States. The group of animals gathered in a muster is referred to as a "mob" in Australia and a "herd" in North America.
Mustering may be done on foot, with various vehicles, horses or with aircraft. Techniques in mustering cattle or sheep will depend on region, culture, distances and the type of terrain involved, and the type of animal that is being mustered. Most sheep mustering nowadays tends to be done with utes, motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles (ATVs, commonly called "quads" (quad-bikes) in Australia or a "four-wheeler" in the USA), whereas cattle mustering lends itself more towards the use of horses. The most popular horse for this job would is a stock horse or a very hardy bush horse. The people who muster animals are usually referred to as stockmen in Australia and, depending on the animal gathered, as wranglers or cowboys in the USA.

Round Up is an amusement ride consisting of a circular horizontal platform with a vertical cage-like wall around the edge. The platform is attached to a motor on a hydraulic arm. The ride starts out by spinning until the centrifugal force is enough to push riders against the wall. Then the arm raises the horizontal platform to a vertical position in which riders, instead of spinning horizontally, are now spinning almost vertically.
The ride spins for a predetermined cycle until an automatic timer releases the hydraulic fluid from the arm, causing the platform to return to its horizontal position. The operator may be required to manually control the spin of the ride such that the ride's exit aligns correctly with the exit gate. Most Round Ups require the rider to be at least 42 inches tall.
In the UK this ride is commonly known as the 'Meteorite' or 'Meteor'. The first such ride to arrive in the UK was with Rose Brothers in the 1950s and the ride came from Germany.
Although Hrubetz examples exist in the UK other common makes include Cadoxton and Sam Ward.

Q: SSH Key-Forwarding using python paramiko We currently run a script on our desktop that uses paramiko to ssh to a remote linux host. Once we are on the remote linux host we execute another command to log into another remote machine. What we want to do is from paramiko pass the keys to the remote server so we can use them again to ssh to another remote host.
This would be the equivalent functionality of 'ssh -A remotehost.com' in linux.

A: You can enable SSH agent forwarding for a session in paramiko using AgentRequestHandler. To do this, call paramiko.agent.AgentRequestHandler(s) with the session s. For example:
client = paramiko.client.SSHClient()
client.connect(host, port, username)
s = client.get_transport().open_session()
paramiko.agent.AgentRequestHandler(s)

See this post for more details and code.

sounds awful to be fair.
There's some great pride I take being one of the 'scarier' teams to visit. Now I hate the petty violence and ganging up on people, I've seen it walking up to Digbeth before a game with kids having a go at away followers with families, that I have no time for but unlike the vile who give the fingers behind the police, it's nice to know if anything does happen, most the time we end up on top.
We aren't a very good football team and we will never have a big trophy cabinet but our fans are one of the best and intimidating and nobody can take that away from us, small in numbers but when it counts we show up. I love our 'working class' background and our tin shed of a stadium, it puts people off! I love our club and let's hope we can win most arrests for a 4th time! Up the f'n blues!
That first season down in the 3rd division was a bit mad. Other than Blackpool we only used to take about 500 away but all the local nutters would be out for us.
A few days after Blackpool we had West Ham away in a midweek league cup game and me and my mate were politely taken to one side down an alley by a few nutters demanding to know where all the Zulus were. How I got out of that one alive I'll never know.
We then had a midweek away game at Swansea with only around 200 Blues again and remember their nutters casually walking round the stationary traffic afterwards looking for garage stickers on the car windows and then belting anyone inside. I think Stechford Autos confused them!
The other memorable game was Bolton away which was mayhem from the moment we arrived on the train at 12.00. Walked into the first pub which refused to serve our group and were chased out by Bolton fans with blades. That was a long day. Of course the following year the away game was a meaningless fixture towards the end of the season but word had got round and the kick off was changed to 12.00 Sunday and 3k Blues turned up for payback.
Leicester use to be ruddy awful in the sixties; Filbert Street.
That payback day even had blues fans offering our group out, for some reason it took a while for them to work out we was blues, great days.
I remember the graffiti on there ground, "zulus can you run"
Can remember "cuckoos kill zulus" painted on the away end as well.
Never VP we have had it over them since day dot!
The only time I thought it slightly intimidating was after the 1st match in the Prem at their place (night match) on the way back to the car with 4 kids entow.
After such an emphatic surprising win I told the kids to wipe the smile off their faces until we got back to the car. All jackets zipped up to cover their colours.
That moment we all got into the safety of our car, we all just looked at each other and pissed ourselves laughing. A great night indeed.
Dodge the missiles as they assumed anybody walking back towards the underpass was Blues.
We ended up in the Brasshouse and a few vile fans in there, they soon effed off thou.
For me to do that on a Monday night ( go to town on a Monday ) shows how good it was.
We headed back to St Andrews Tavern and had a beer with the lad who gave Enkleman the W**k*r sign in the 1st match at our place. He watched it with his old fella in there due to his ban.
He got sent down for that gesture FFS and nonchalantly touching his face cheek.
Cuckoo boys kill Zulus and also Billy Whizz Fan Club.
Do you remember the flyers passed around the Kop, imploring everyone to turn out at Bolton?
Bristol City - adrenalin pumping stuff, the locals are the result of generations of farm workers interbreeding.

Maximum Octopus :: LED Matrix Software « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
Maximum Octopus :: LED Matrix Software.
I'm the developer of a (free) piece of software for designing graphics, fonts and animations for LED dot matrix devices.
It currently supports several different formats and types, new features are being added all the time. I'm working (literally as I am testing now) on bicolour functionality. I am using the Adafruit 8×8 bicolour matrix for testing, the software can now export data in its format (although of course it will support many other devices that use the same format). I will also be including some arduino samples where necessary.
I hope it can be of some use to your users, and hopefully with feedback it become even better and support even more devices.

Is it a bad idea that take a travel from Los Angeles to Yellowstone National Park by driving? One of our customer ever have this question. It's the first time she visiting Yellowstone from Los Angeles and still so confused by the options no matter how many books she have read regarding the park! Then she book the tour on globerouter.com and got the guide from us.
She have booked 7 nights in the park from Old Faithful to Canyon to Lake Yellowstone, and I have been planning all sorts of events in the park, like the Firehole Bus Tour, the Roosevelt Cookout, etc, and I'm pretty confidant that my time in the park is well-planned ... We are driving from Los Angeles to Yellowstone and plan on driving for two days, ending up in Cody to spend a couple days there before entering the park. And She's planning on spending a night in SLC and then heading straight through to Cody and arriving the second night, but it seems like a lot of driving for two days!
Years ago we did your trip in reverse. Doing the parks then heading to SLC, and to the west coast. We stopped in SLC, again in Vegas area and then to LA. It is a very long days drive just from SLC to Vegas. From Cody to SLC you are talking about a minimum of 10 hours driving also.
However, like many first time visitors to Yellowstone, you appear to be suffering from "planner's information overload." It's a fun condition at first, but it can become stressful and even ruin your trip if you let it.
The best advice I can offer you is to try NOT to micro-plan your time in Yellowstone. With 7 nights in the park, you will have plenty of time to experience everything without scheduling yourself to strictly. Reserve lodging and the activities that you mentioned as required, but since you are allowing yourself plenty of time, the preferred way to enjoy the Yellowstone experience is to be spontaneous, and take it as it comes, one day at a time.
Have you driven I-15 north of LA at all? If you have you know that after Cajon Pass you are in the Mojave desert. It is barren, hot, and all up hill to Vegas.
We have driven to LA and back from SLC non-stop on more than one occasion but it is about 11 hrs and I prefer a stop around LV when we do it.
From LV north you will go through the Virgin River Gorge. Beautiful, short and definitely a canyon road, meaning winding and uphill.
Another steep climb north of St George to Cedar City and then mostly an easy drive to SLC.
I'm not sure how you plan to get to Cody. From SLC the most direct route is through Yellowstone. Anything else is a very long detour. Last Sept we drove in one day from SLC via West Yellowstone through the park and out to Cody. With only minimal stops through the park we arrived in Cody after sunset. I don't know how to describe the drive north of SLC. It is neither flat nor difficult.
SO you feeling like "it seems like a lot of driving for two days" is absolutely correct. Sometimes you just have to buckle down and do it. At least you have enough time in Yellowstone to recuperate.
