Volkswagen Polo R hot hatch coming?
Volkwagen's Polo R rally car sparks excitement for a 200bhp road going version
by: Louis Sidey
Volkswagen is looking increasingly likely to produce a Polo R to coincide with its entry into the WRC in 2013. A model above the Polo GTI was previously viewed as a bad business case by the company, but the marketing possibilities provided by world rallying turn the case around.
The mock-up at the rally car's launch carried 'R' branding which dominated the livery, and it's labelled as the Polo R WRC. A road-going car could use a more powerful version of the Volkswagen Group's 1.4-litre, turbocharged and supercharged motor, probably with over 200bhp, a healthy rise from the Polo GTI's 178bhp.
It would likely cost 10-15 per cent more than the GTI, topping £20,000, though a concern for VW would surely be the risk of the R treading on the toes of the 207bhp Golf GTI, which starts at £25K. With a potentially better power-to-weight ratio, it could outperform it, too…
A four-wheel drive transmission is a potential for a Polo R, which would perhaps share a system being developed for the forthcoming Audi A1. It would give the VW a unique selling point over talented front-driven rivals such as the Renaultsport Clio 200, which starts at £16,930, and the £23K Vauxhall Corsa VXR Nurburgring Edition which has been winning plaudits of late.
It's all speculation for now, of course, and we wouldn't expect to see a Polo R surface until the WRC car's 2013 debut. Fingers crossed it does, though.

Saliva was originally founded in Memphis, Tennessee in September 1996. After competing in the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Grammy Showcase competition, where they advanced to the final round in New York City, the group self-released their self-titled debut album Saliva which sold over 10,000 copies in their region, prompting Island Records to take notice. Their Island debut Every Six Seconds was released in 2001, followed by Back Into Your System in 2002, which included the chart topping hits "Always", and "Rest In Pieces" co-written by James Michael and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. The band toured in 2003, opening for KISS and Aerosmith. Saliva then released Survival of the Sickest on August 17, 2004, reaching #20 on the Billboard 200. On May 29, 2005, guitarist Chris D'ABaldo announced he had left the band "for obvious reasons, as the band is not a unit anymore." He then shortly retracted his statement and apologized, declaring on the band's website that "there was a bit of an issue we're working through and we're looking forward to recording a new album later this year".[1] However, the band's website later apologized again for the confusion and confirmed that due to "creative differences", D'ABaldo was in fact leaving the band, but that Saliva was "completely moving forward as planned and [has] our best music ahead of us". D'ABaldo eventually moved on to start the band Smolder. He is currently with Egypt Central. Chris Hahn replaced him in Saliva's tour lineup. Hahn then went on to join unsigned Memphis rock group 8 Days to Amsterdam. Jonathan Montoya, formerly of Full Devil Jacket, then became the next permanent member of Saliva.
A new single, titled "Ladies and Gentlemen" was released in november 2006 to radio stations and made it to #2 on the US Mainstream Rock charts. Saliva released the album Blood Stained Love Story on January 23, 2007. It has also been included as the background music for a number of Sony's commercials for the PlayStation 3. The second single released off of the album was "Broken Sunday", which reached #8 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and is frequently on the Sirius top 20 on Octane. Saliva's tour manager Chris stated that the new single off Blood Stained Love Story would be "King of the Stereo".
In an interview on Rockline Radio the band announced that they had written new material, and would be heading back into the studio with Bob Marlette in the near future to begin on their sixth album. The album is expected to be released in the fall of 2008.
In an interview with WWE on February 27, Scott said "We're going to go in the studio probably around May and record our next record. If you like "Ladies and Gentlemen" and "Click Click Boom", and more dynamic stuff, it's going to be an ass-whooping of a record. It's going to be 45 minutes of ass-whooping!"[2] Saliva toured with Sevendust in South Korea, Japan and a brief stint in Europe until July 2008.
As of April 30, 2008, Octane 20 on Sirius Satellite Radio began playing a new song titled "Don't Question My Heart", featuring Brent Smith from Shinedown. The song can be found on the album WWE The Music, Vol. 8, and is the official television theme song for the ECW brand. Saliva's sixth studio album is titled Cinco Diablo and was released on December 16, 2008.
The band have worked on a reality television show style DVD following the recording of Cinco Diablo and life on the road, in an interview with MJP, Josey was asked if it was a TV Show to which Josey stated "I hope not", and stated that he wanted it more as "a DVD or something for our fans".
Saliva was recently on tour with Pop Evil, Since October, Dead Season, and Aranda. They were scheduled to join the 13th annual SnoCore Tour, with Static-X, Burn Halo, and The Flood, but singer Josey Scott had ulcer surgery. Walt Lafty of Silvertide was hired to fill in for Scott for the tour, but Saliva ultimately decided to drop out of the tour, instead of touring with Lafty.
WWE have used a number of songs as theme songs for their pay-per-view events and television shows, such as "Click Click Boom" and "Don't Question My Heart". Here is a recent interview with the band from 2009's "Rock on the Range" http://app.synclive.com?show/28318.
This reality television show originally pitched as "Hick Parade", has now been revealed to be the bonus DVD on the upcoming album "Take That Society", as "We were filming (the reality show) and decided not to do it because it just wasn't for us," said singer Josey Scott during an interview with The Flint Journal. "It just wasn't our bag. We're going to use it as a promo piece for the next record, a DVD in the next CD."
"Take That Society," Scott said, is coming along nicely. So far, he's written about nine songs and the rest of the band - which also includes guitarist Wayne Swinny, bassist Dave Novotny, drummer Paul Crosby and guitarist Jonathan Montoya - has been writing material as well. He expects to enter the studio at the beginning of 2010.
"I think it's got more of an alternative twist to it," Scott said of the new songs. "It's got an old-school, hip-hop flavor to it, plus an old school AC/DC sort of feel to it."
Paul Crosby was out of a few concerts due to getting married. Eric Bice, brother of former American Idol contestant, Bo Bice, replaced him in the tour lineup.
Saliva has also recorded a cover of the song "I Love Rock and Roll" with Memphis rapper Yo Gotti.
On March 23rd, 2010, the band will release a Greatest Hits album titled, "Moving Forward in Reverse: Greatest Hits".[3]
Currently one new track is planned for the greatest hits, entitled "Time To Shine".
It was announced on February 22,2010 that Saliva will be a part of Rocklahoma 2010 in Pryor oklahoma.
World Wrestling Entertainment has used many of Saliva's songs, most notably "Superstar" for the theme to WrestleMania X8, "Ladies and Gentlemen" for their Theme to WrestleMania 23, they also used "Always" as the theme to the 2002 Survivor Series, and "I Walk Alone" is the theme for wrestler Dave Batista. The Band also provided the No Mercy 2001 theme song, "Click Click Boom" and the No Way Out 2009 theme song, "Hunt You Down". The theme for the late ECW "Don't Question my Heart" is also by Saliva.

The link between unemployment and suicide
Ian Cummins Senior lecturer, University of Salford
We are helping platform companies improve working standards in the gig economy
An important study that examines the social costs of the 2008 banking crisis and the economic recession it created has just been published. The analysis, carried out by Carlos Nordt and colleagues at the University of Zurich, explored the link between increases in rates of unemployment and suicide. They attribute 45,000 – or one in five – suicides a year worldwide to unemployment, with a further 5,000 deaths caused by the economic crisis.
Suicide is a complex event that is the result of the interaction between a number of potential factors. Identified risk factors for suicide include substance misuse, a history of mental illness and unemployment. These factors are clearly not distributed evenly across the general population. For example, the Corston Inquiry in 2008, which looked at the treatment of women in prison, found that more than a third of female prisoners had attempted suicide at some point in their lives.
The study, published in Lancet Psychiatry, looked at the period 2000-11 across four regions – the Americas, northern and western Europe, southern and eastern Europe and non-Americas and non-Europe – and the 63 countries across these regions included Mexico, Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, Russia, Greece, Spain, Egypt, South Africa, Japan, the UK, US and Australia. Although Hong Kong was included, China and India were not.
The researchers found that there had been an increase in the relative risk of suicide associated with unemployment across all regions of 20% to 30%. There were an estimated 233,000 suicides a year between 2000-11, of which around 45,000 could be attributed to unemployment. In 2007, the year before the crash, there were 41,148 identified cases of suicide. In 2009, this number had risen to 46,131 – an increase of 4,983 or 12%.
Mean unemployment rates and estimated relative risks of suicide associated with unemployment in four world regions, 2000-11.
Nordt et al/Lancet Psychiatry
ONS figures have also suggested that austerity measures introduced after 2007, led to an increase in suicides in the UK – particularly among men. However, the increase found by the authors of the Nordt study affected both sexes and different age groups.
Being made unemployed is devastating. The impact is not simply the economic pressure of coping with a significantly reduced income. Work, despite the negatives, provides status as well as structure to our daily lives. As sociologist Imogen Tyler argues there is still social stigma attached to this loss of status.
This study shows that the impact of unemployment was strongest in countries which enjoyed comparatively low unemployment rates before the crash. One possible explanation for this is that not only is the shock of losing a job much greater in these areas but the consequent loss of status also increased.
The link the authors attempt to make between changes in unemployment rates and suicide is a causal one, rather than a correlation. One of the important findings of this work is that there is a time lag between the two: suicide rates increased in the six months prior to the rises in the unemployment rate.
The authors argue that this is due to the changes and increased stresses in the work environment that occur in the run-up to people losing their jobs. These stresses might include atmospheres of tension and unease and the fact that people might work longer hours in worse conditions of employment or on reduced wages in the hope that they will be able to save their jobs.
These, alongside other pernicious features of the modern economy, such as zero hours contracts, are often presented in positive terms such as flexibility. But they do have personal and social consequences. And as both Barbara Ehrenreich in the US and Polly Toynbee in the UK have documented, these developments have had a disproportionate impact on women.
Suicide: a measure of impact
There are limitations to the Nordt study. As the authors note, one of the limitations of these is that data from two of the largest countries, China and India, was missing. There is also little data from the African continent.
In addition, it always important to approach data about suicide with caution because of the stigma that is still attached to it. For example, Coroners' courts in the UK are generally reluctant to record a suicide verdict unless there is incontrovertible evidence that the person planned to end their life.
Despite some of these limitations, this is a timely and relevant study. As political scientist Mark Blyth says, "austerity" is not a recent or passing phenomena, current policies are a modern manifestation of it.
It seems unlikely that there will be a significant shift in national policies, for example increases in welfare spending or reinstatement of employment protections for workers. But this study shows that the cost of employment policies needs to be viewed in a much broader context.
The link between unemployment rates and suicide is a very important measure of the impact of the economic crisis. However, behind these statistics lie personal and family tragedies, the long-term impact of which is difficult to measure.

It's peculiar to consider, however there was a period not exactly a year prior when Among Us wasn't a commonly recognized name. At the point when it initially dispatched in 2018, it was anything but a disappointment, precisely, yet it appeared to be bound to experience its days as unobtrusively as a decent fraud—besides without the killing.
Then, at that point, the previous summer, it exploded because of a little small bunch of famous Twitch decorations, who then, at that point spread it to each and every other well known Twitch decoration. Out of nowhere, everyone was focused on Among Us' then-three-man advancement group.
Among Us New Color-Why Tan Took So Long
This, the engineers disclosed to YouTube questioner Anthony Padilla, was no stroll in the recreation center. Indeed, even as Innersloth extended—yet marginally and gradually—colleagues experienced burnout brought into the world of the gigantic assumptions abruptly push onto them.
"Among Us becoming a web sensation, it was actually similar to, 'alright, this is my life,'" Innersloth craftsman and practitioner of numerous extra things Amy Liu said. "The strain to complete things immediately was extremely high. September to December, we're conversing with Xbox, PlayStation. They were going to attempt to get Among Us on these stages, which typically requires numerous months—like, a large portion of a year to a year. We resembled, '90 days! We're going to attempt that.'"
The heaviness of assumption likewise came overwhelming Liu and the remainder of the group at the stature of a worldwide pandemic.
"I certainly wore out," said a mournful Liu. "It was intense in light of the fact that during the entirety of this, we couldn't see loved ones. Being so drained from working, I was unable to try and go visit my family during Coronavirus and needed to spend occasions alone…That was unquestionably the hardest time."
Obviously, the first individuals from Innersloth made unimaginable progress, so dislike they were detached and poor. Craftsman and game architect Marcus Bromander recognized that there's "a component" of having everything you could ever want work out as expected that goes with Among Us' climb to gaming sovereignty, and he said recently discovered cash and assets absolutely assisted with "different burdens." But it additionally increased the pressing factor.
"The measure of consideration that we had on us, and like, each seemingly insignificant detail we do is going to get taken a gander at and scrutinized," Bromander said. "We changed the text style at one point since it should have been changed, and individuals resembled 'Bring back the old text style! I don't care for this new text style.'"
Television Style Commercials Are Coming To Console Games
Meanwhile, individuals would continually proclaim Among Us—whose updates were brought into the world of a rejected endeavor at Among Us 2—a "dead game." The designers figured out how to disregard such remarks, yet they actually needed to filter through them to discover productive input. This incurred significant damage.
"There was some time toward the start of the year," said Bromander, "when a great deal of the negative remarks were truly beginning to get to me, and—joined with the overpowered sentiments—I was very much as, 'I would even prefer not to chip away at this any longer. I'm finished.'"
As a general rule, Innersloth thought that it was hard to align player assumptions with the real world. One contributing component, clarified software engineer Forest Willard, was the game's basic craftsmanship style. Fans perceived how fundamental the game looked and accepted that making new substance would be a cakewalk—despite the fact that the explanation the engineers needed to make Among Us 2 in any case was on the grounds that the primary game was inclined to breaking when refreshed.
"Attempting to one-up yourself while getting up to speed, these things all set aside time," said Willard. "Also, when you're under countless [peoples' worth] of pressing factor, they don't comprehend that it requires months. The worker issues ought to be fixed tomorrow, adding new stuff ought to be one week from now—it's so natural [to them]. It's a ton of pressing factor. It's staggering."
Among Us remains enormously mainstream, however it's anything but a Twitch-besting sensation is finished. While the engineers at Innersloth feel a strain to continue to go after new statures, they at this point don't have to surge or attempt to keep their numbers up. They can bear to take as much time as is needed—an extravagance a lot less fruitful game designers don't have.
"You generally need to be going up," said Bromander. "You can't go up until the end of time. Topping is certainly not something terrible. There can be strain to [be] like, 'We've gotta extract all that we can from this game,' however I don't figure we'll do that. We'll do what we can with the game. Once there's no more thoughts, we're not going to constrain it."
Among Us is getting some new crewmate colors in its next large update. In any case, its most recent uncover of Tan has helped fans to remember the shading's set of experiences.
Crewmate tones can be an amazingly significant choice in Among Us, the social derivation game from Innersloth. In games, players regularly use tones rather than names to allude to other people, and it's one of the main ways for individuals to tell who's sus – and who isn't. Presently, Innersloth is including much more tones in along with everything else, and the most recent uncover of Tan has helped a few fans to remember the shading's convoluted history with Among Us.
Up until now, Innersloth has uncovered Rose and Gray as new shadings in its hit game. Presently, the most up to date tone uncover for Among Us is Tan, initially planned in light of partially blind players. Be that as it may, this isn't the first run through the shading has been brought into the game. It initially showed up in special materials and streams as far back as 2019 preceding being removed of Among Us.
Why The New Rose Color Is Less Sus Than Red Crewmates
On Twitter, the authority Among Us account shared that Tan previously had a beautiful fascinating history with the game. Numerous fans may have passed up this reality, since Tan was displayed in-game way before Among Us soar in notoriety last year and turned into a piece of the social zeitgeist. Notwithstanding, the thinking behind Tan being cut from the game is in reality beautiful intriguing.
Tan was required to be added around a similar time as Cyan and Lime, and was even displayed to fans ahead of time. Eventually, notwithstanding, just the last two shadings made it into Among Us back in 2019, as Tan was rejected from the game out and out. This was on the grounds that Innersloth didn't need an odd number (13) of tones and chose to choose a balanced number like 12 all things being equal. At that point, the engineers went with Lime over Tan.
Presently, in any case, with more tones being presented in Among Us, Tan is formally being brought back. It's intriguing that Lime was picked over Tan, particularly considering Lime is one of the most un-mainstream tones in Among Us. With Tan being once again introduced into the game, maybe fans will show whether this was the right call. Will Tan turn out to be more well known than Lime – or will Lime actually edge it out with regards to player inclinations?
Among Us Tan Reveal
For the fans who cherished Tan back in 2019, its return in Among Us is most likely truly energizing. It's incredible to see such a rebound, and the set of experiences behind the shading is quite fascinating, as well. Innersloth has expressed that more news in regards to every one of the new tones in Among Us will be displayed at the Summer Game Fest on June 10, 2021.

Combo Humidity: 10% -95% RH, Barometer : 10 - 1100hPa, Temperature Meter: 0 - 50degC.
Humidity measurement instruments and transducers test for absolute humidity, relative humidity, or dew point in air. The range humidity measurement instruments operate in is typically from 0 to 100% humidity. They are sometimes combined with other sensing devices such as temperature sensors.
Humidity measurement instruments and sensors can sense a number of different factors. Absolute humidity, expressed as grams of water vapor per cubic meter volume of air, is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor or moisture in the air, regardless of the air's temperature. Relative humidity (RH), expressed as a percent, also measures water vapor, but relative to the temperature of the air. The dew point temperature, which provides a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air, is the temperature to which the air must be cooled in order for that air to be saturated and dew to form. Because of the intertwining of atmospheric measurements, humidity measurement instruments are sometimes equipped with pressure and temperature sensors as well. Three main applications for humidity measurement instruments are judging moisture in gases or air, bulk solids or powders, or else if fuels or other liquids.
There are many technologies for humidity measurement instruments. Capacitive or dielectric instruments have a material that absorbs moisture, which changes its dielectric properties and enhances its capacitance. Chilled mirror technology uses a mirror that is chilled to the point that moisture starts to condense on it. This temperature is the dew point. With electrolytic technology, moisture is proportional to the current needed to electrolyze it from a desiccant. For resistivity or impedance style sensors, a material absorbs moisture, which changes its resistivity or impedance. In strain gage instruments, a material absorbs water, expands and is measured with a strain gage. Psychrometers, often called wet/dry bulbs, measure relative humidity by gauging the temperature difference between two thermometers, one wet and one dry.
One critical specification for these devices is the humidity or moisture range to be measured or else the dew point range. Humidity and moisture accuracy is expressed in terms of percentage of measurement. The dew point accuracy, since this is a temperature reading, is expressed as a variance in temperature output.
Outputs from humidity measurement instruments can be analog current, voltage, or frequency; digital, including computer signals; or a switch or alarm. They can have analog, digital or video type displays and can have a number of different form factors. They can be PCB-mount devices, standard sensors or transducers, or a simple gauge or indicator. They can also be various types of instruments, whether handheld, benchtop or mounted.
In addition to pressure and temperature compensation, humidity measurement instruments can have a number of features to make them more useful or easier to use. These can include data logging, event triggering, self-testing, self-calibration, and battery power.

Q: Determine Windows version from non-techie client Sounds simple (and maybe it is), but bear with me.
While on a support call, I asked a client what version of windows they had. XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10...etc? They didn't know. They could have any version and each one is slightly different.
System properties is a standard method. Right click "My Computer" and go to properties. Well where is "My Computer"? Maybe it just says "Computer" or "This PC". It's in the Start Menu which looks different for each version. Maybe there is no start menu.
In windows 7, clicking the start icon loads the pop up menu. In windows 8.1 it throws up the whole start screen. You can right click to start icon and select "System" (I think).
There's a keyboard shortcut, Windows Key + Pause Break. What if they have no Windows Key? What if it's a laptop that requires the Fn key to hit "Pause Break"?
The only semi-reliable method I could think of was a process of elimination. Is there a start button? Click it, what do you see? etc.
The best I could find was websites that tell you the OS that's running. That requires an email or spelling out a URL. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/which-operating-system
TL;DR
Is there any non-technical and version independent way of determining what version of Windows a client is using?

A: I don't know if you'll consider this too advanced for support calls, but this process is universal across all windows platforms.
1: Windows Key + R (Or start menu -> Run)

2: Type cmd in the window that appears.
3: Type ver in the cmd window that opens.

This returns the windows version that is being used. A quick google search from this point will tell you what version is there.

As long as you remain a child, you cannot access your rightful position and take authority over situations that confront you. Many Christians today are too lazy. They are too lazy to read or study the scripture. They are too lazy to commit the scriptures to memory. Too lazy to wake up and pray in the night. Even when they pray, they can only go for a few minutes and they are tired. How do you access the spiritual blessings that have been made available for you if all you do is struggle with your spiritual growth? God has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. His intention is for you to walk and live in victory as sons according to His good pleasure. He does not intend for you to be a baby that will be spoon-fed all your life.
I encourage you to take advantage of that which God has made available for you. Rise up today and take your rightful place. Hear the Word! Listen to the Word, Speak the Word! Eat the word until it becomes a part of you. Use the Word of God like a carpenter uses his tools. A carpenter knows when to use his hammer or chisel. He has a mastery of his tools and the same applies to you if the Word is to produce results for you.
Build up your faith in God. Live your life according to his word and make the Word of God your watchtower. Soak yourself in it. Grow in your relationship and listen for His voice. God is still speaking today so don't let the enemy occupy your mind with noise. If your life is empty of words, then don't expect the manifestation of your desires to just fall in your lap like a bag of cherries. Let the Word of God continually be your mirror so that you can stand blameless before Him in love. Always remember that His Word concerning your life is settled. Believe it! It shall come to pass.

Our Step 2 program is not like that of any other program. We understand that in order to reason out the abnormal, you first have to understand the normal. We teach you how to take that information and apply it to the abnormal, from making the diagnosis to understanding the management of the illness.
Our COMLEX Level 1 program is set up to directly correlate with our USMLE Step 1 program. You will sit through the same lectures and learn the same information with the addition of a few provided OMM resources. Both tests are primarily compromised of all the basic medical sciences so mastering this information is the key to passing both.
The Board Certification Program is done on a case by case basis. However, the areas of medicine that we are willing to accept include Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, and Emergency Medicine. Any physician who is interested in assistance with board certification will be referred to Dr. Francis. He will then contact that physician, discuss their needs in passing their exams, and then outline what PASS Program will do to help them succeed.
The PASS Program is now willing and able to offer a service that it had not been able to offer in the past. We are willing to bring the entire USMLE and COMLEX training program to several different sites to accommodate students who are not able to travel to the PASS Program facility. These off-site programs will include the entire PASS Program curriculum and services. We will provide the faculty and staff.


Ross Ulbricht, the California hippie convicted for founding notorious online drug market Silk Road, has been sentenced to life in prison.
The man once known as the "Dread Pirate Roberts" was found guilty on seven counts earlier this year, including a "drug kingpin" charge that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Prior to sentencing, Ulbricht's defense argued that the online drug market Silk Road provided a safer alternative to buying drugs. Ulbricht begged the judge to leave "a small light at the end of the tunnel" by giving him a lenient sentence. Those pleas fell on unsympathetic ears.
"I don't know that you feel a lot of remorse," Judge Katharine B. Forrest told Ulbricht.
Ulbricht, a 31-year-old yoga enthusiast, didn't fit the image of a traditional drug kingpin, but he was treated like one.
Prosecutors sought a substantially longer sentence—and got it from Forrest. Forrest didn't buy the defense's argument that Silk Road reduced harm in the drug trade, calling it a "fantasy" according to Motherboard reporter Kari Paul.
Forrest had previously rebuffed Ulbricht's attempt to get a retrial after the two of the investigators on the Silk Road case were arrested for committing fraud while investigating the "Dread Pirate Roberts" in charge of the Silk Road.
Ulbricht's arrest and conviction haven't slowed the online drug trade, which continues to grow in volume.

Use Cases of AI for Mobility
Shazam Khan, 3 weeks ago 0
Mobility can be seen to shift rapidly towards becoming environment- friendly. Smart automated, connected vehicles are the need of the hour and manufacturers have to create ways to meet the requirements. Vehicles of the future that are connected, autonomous and electric or hybrid need cutting edge technology to manufacture. The concepts of shared mobility are becoming an important part of co-creating smart cities. At the heart of all change in the mobility arena is the use of advanced and efficient electronic devices. Technology such as Robotics, Big Data, 3D printing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) are all supporting innovation in the mobility sector. AI in particular finds several uses in smart manufacturing, passenger transport, logistics and connected services. In this article, the role of AI and its multiple uses for mobility are explored.
Use of Robots
Automated Quality Testing
Moving materials
Mobility of passengers
Assisted Driving systems
Autonomous trucks
Remote controlled ships
AI is largely known for enabling self-driven vehicles and greater safety measures through the use of scanners and sensors. AI is being used in manufacturing for the automotive industry as follows:
Predictive maintenance is highly valued in the automotive industry. Data is continuously collected and analysed with the help of sensors to forecast maintenance requirements. Predictive maintenance also enhances the security of the manufacturing unit. It plays a key role in ensuring that there is no down-time, thereby preventing losses. There are other advantages such as monitoring equipment on the floor and monitoring conditions of assets.
Robots can perform repetitive tasks with same quality throughout without tiring. This makes them ideal for assembling vehicles and prevents error and any variance. It also helps to protect workers from the hazards of manufacturing industry such as pouring metal in foundries, exposure to welding, or lifting heavy parts which might cause musculo-skeletal disorders. By taking over multiple tasks robots can address the challenges of capacity in the manufacturing industry.
AI plays an important role in quality testing of new-age vehicles. Safety assessment and autonomous driving tests are an important part of the quality testing process. Augmented reality (AR) is used for testing automated and connected vehicles. A simulation platform that can mimic the real world testing facility like surrounding vehicles and traffic signals is used for this purpose.
Materials need to be moved around an automotive plant and it can now be done without human intervention. This is made possible with the use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). AGVs are used for movement of materials and are capable of detecting obstacles in their path and avoiding them.
Mobility of passengers is of prime importance globally. AI supports the development of autonomous vehicles for a clean and green environment. They will also ease the stress of navigating through the traffic. Shared services especially in urban areas are predicted to become the norm to beat the traffic congestions.
According to business reports, the global autonomous vehicle market is projected to reach $556.67 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 39.47% from 2019 to 2026. Autonomous vehicles are designed to operate without a human operator. They use AI software for detection of light and sensing technology to create a 3D map of their surroundings. A combination of software tools are then used to navigate traffic.
Driver assist systems can be used to ensure safety on the roads. They can detect and send a warning about a driver's drowsiness, they can support by adjusting the speed based on the traffic conditions, steering, and parking the vehicle. The system is able to detect dangerous situations and take control of the driving and the brakes in emergency situations.
Autonomous vehicles, remote controlled vehicles and drones all form an important part of the mobility ecosystem to deliver cargo across regions. AI has been used to enhance and ensure effective last-mile delivery to meet customer demands. Here are some of the other use cases of AI in logistics.
Drones can be deployed to deliver goods in urban areas without challenges of delay due to traffic. They can also be used to deliver in geographically remote areas. For example, drone-based delivery system has been recently used during the Covid 19 pandemic to deliver vaccines.
Trucks that can deliver goods across a region while navigating highways autonomously have several benefits. With the help of neural networks, optimal delivery routes can be chalked out saving time and costs, and reducing CO2 emissions. A convoy of inter-connected trucks, that can communicate with each other and use sensors to detect their surroundings could ensure road safety.
Cargo ships that are monitored and controlled remotely from a off-shore station will reduce the need to have crew on these ships.
With the changing scenario in the mobility sector, AI will remain key enabler in other areas such as R&D, mobility services, and customer experience.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: How To Win As Byleth
One of the least liked reveals in Super Smash Bros history has become one of the most exciting characters to play as in the game: Byleth. Yes, they're yet another Fire Emblem placement in the roster but Byleth is a different beast than the rest. Here's how to play as them.
General Strategy
Byleth is a slower character than the rest but offers plenty of range on the battlefield. They have four different weapons at their disposal: the Areadbhar (the lance), the Sword of the Creator, Amyr (the axe), and Failnaught (the bow). This Fire Emblem rep struggles against faster characters like Fox, Marth, and Sonic as their B-attacks are mostly slow, but if you know how to keep them at bay with the lance, you can still win.
A-Attacks
The tilt attacks are pretty standards for Byleth as they're general swipes of the sword. However, they are quick strikes that can throw an opponent off as Byleth is a heavy character. I particularly like using the down tilt as you can lead the attack with an up tilt in the air; this works with up-A on the ground as well but it's slightly more predictable. Speaking of Up-A in the air, you can use this move to easily knock out opponents on the top of the screen. The whip from the sword languishes like a snake and snaps a quick and nasty bite that can leave your opponents above you helpless. The standard A combo is another quick attack at your disposal, and it has a lingering whip that can deal around 12-13 points of damage.
Byleth's manipulation of the lance can be tricky. You see, attacks are stronger when you hit opponents with the tip as opposed to the hilt. One of the best attacks at Byleth's disposal is the back air A as it's a swipe of the lance from behind. If you get exactly the right timing and position with the lance's tip, this can be a superb way to knock out the opponent. Forward A in the air is not as effective but can still be useful.
Smash attacks are interesting with the lance as you tilt the direction of the attack with the thumb stick. Using a down tilt is a devastating way to block your opponents from getting back on the stage. Neutral A in the air can be an effective technique too if you want to knock out the opponent from off-stage.
Down A in the air is a smash from the axe, and I've found this ineffective most of the time. Players can easily avoid this slow attack, and it's hard to be accurate to make this a good spike move.
B-Attacks
This is where you have to be careful. The Three Houses protagonist offers some very slow moves that can be overturned easily. Watch out against characters like Fox or Pit as they can deflect the arrow with ease. There's a lot of wind up with the arrow, and Byleth can be easily locked in without the option of stopping the attack. Make sure it's safe to use the bow and arrow before committing.
The plunge of the axe can be a very attractive move to use as it provides a massive amount of damage. Once again, there's a long wind up to use the attack, so make sure you're absolutely certain it will work. The axe attack is a great overhead that can overrule an opponent's attack but watch out! It can be interrupted with a grab. By the way, you can trick your opponent by switching the direction of the attack mid-swing.
While the other weapons are tricky to use, the side-B with the lance is a non-committal way to deal an easy 20 damage to the opponent. It is also a great way to keep Byleth in the air for a few seconds off-stage; you throw off your opponent and keep Byleth in the air for a few seconds to compose themself.
Up-A is a cheeky way to deal some extra damage to opponents who diagonally above you, but more importantly, the whip can easily hoist Byleth up to the ledge. Just be careful of a quick character like Marth from spiking you into the sidewall. Slip out of this position to avoid an unexpected downfall.
Byleth is a great character in the right hands. Their A attacks with the lance are supremely useful as it's a great poking tool. However, the B attacks are less effective with slow and dangerous methods of approaching the opponent. If you can get a hit though, the risk can be worth it! With this knowledge, you can teach your Byleth amiibo all these tricks this March!

Google Australia pledges $1bn in Digital Future Initiative to boost Australia's prospects
By Stephen Fenech on November 16, 2021
Google Australia today announced it will be pledging $1 billion in the Digital Future Initiative to boost Australia's infrastructure and research and help build the nation's digital economy well into the future.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison was at Google Australia's expanded Sydney headquarters to launch the Digital Future Initiative along with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Google Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Mel Silva.
This initiative has been two decades in the making following Google's work in Australia where investments have been made in building a foundation for a robust digital economy, facilitating cutting edge research and partnering with organisations to solve our biggest challenges.
"The Digital Future Initiative is about bringing significant technology resources and capabilities to Australia, investing in the infrastructure that benefits people and businesses, and helping the best talent thrive here," Ms Silva said.
"A strong digital future creates opportunities, improves the everyday and enables the extraordinary – and we'd love to help Australia and Australians make the most of the opportunity and build for tomorrow."
Economist Henry Ergas AO and Green Square Associates has found that Google's Digital Future Initiative could support 6,529 new direct jobs and 28,057 total jobs across Australia and deliver $1.259 billion in direct investment and $6.716 billion in total economic impact.
Here are the three prongs of Google's Digital Future initiative:
The foundations of the digital economy
– Digital infrastructure is a major driver of Australian productivity, and under this initiative, Google will continue to invest in cloud infrastructure to help build a digital first future.
– Customers are already benefiting from the expansion of Google's cloud regions, including a new cloud region in Melbourne

Mine Book Club Notes
Discover Susi Fox's themes of maternal instinct, mental health and trust with your book club.
Mine is a chilling psychological thriller that grips from the start when Sasha Moloney wakes up alone after an emergency caesarean, desperate to see her child. When Sasha is shown the baby, a terrible thought takes root: this is not her baby. Explore Sasha's battle with anxiety, her strained relationship with her husband Mark, and the eerie setting of the hospital's maternity ward with your book club.
Discussion points and questions:
Consider the title, 'Mine'. What are the different ways in which the novel explores themes of ownership and belonging?
The novel is dedicated to 'those who understand'. How do you interpret this in relation to the events of the novel?
Consider the pressure that Sasha puts on herself to be a perfect mother (and the guilt she feels about her miscarriages), and discuss where this comes from. Why do you think it is so important for Sasha that she is a 'success' in this role?
Sasha believes that Mark has betrayed her by not being on her side. Is it fair for Sasha to have expected Mark to support her unconditionally? To what extent can you ever really trust your partner?
Sasha repeatedly proves herself to be an unreliable narrator. Can you recall moments where you couldn't trust her? What effect did these moments have on your relationship with her character?
Mental health issues are front and centre of the novel; there are repeated references to depression, psychosis and suicide. Did the insights about mental health make Mine harder to read, or more relatable, or otherwise?
Throughout the novel, the descriptions of the hospital and the various wards are very vivid and claustrophobic. To what extent does the setting contribute to the events of the novel? Do you believe the hospital should be blamed for what happened?
The author, Susi Fox, is a doctor, and her descriptions of medical procedures are informed by her professional experience. How did the visceral narration of childbirth, wounds, pain and trauma affect your reading?
Think about the use of flashbacks for Sasha and Mark's backstories, particularly in relation to Damien, Simon and Sasha's mother, Rose. How are these memories drip-fed throughout the novel, and why do you think these memories emerge in this way?
What was your response to the 'reveal' about what happened at the hospital? How did you judge each character? (Consider also the novel's epigraph, from Rumi: 'Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.' Why do you think this opens the novel?)

The Training Institute
The content and vision of the sequence of courses offered by training institutes around the world is described in this presentation, which is drawn from the website of the Ruhi Institute:
Book 1Reflections on the Life of the SpiritBook 2Arising to ServeBook 3 Teaching Children's Classes, Grade 1 Teaching Children's Classes, Grade 2Book 4The Twin ManifestationsBook 5Releasing the Powers of Junior YouthBook 6Teaching the CauseBook 7Walking Together on a Path of Service
Reflections on the Life of the Spirit
The first book in the sequence of courses is largely concerned with the question of identity. What is the real identity of the "I" in the sentence "I walk a path of service"? Three aspects of identity from a Bahá'í perspective are explored in the book: "The reality of my existence is my soul which passes through this world to acquire the attributes it needs for an eternal and glorious journey towards God. My most cherished moments are those spent in communion with God, for prayer is the daily nourishment that my soul must receive if it is to accomplish its exalted purpose. One of my principal concerns in this life is to study the writings of Bahá'u'lláh, strive to increase my understanding of His teachings, and learn to apply them to my own daily life and to the life of the community." The book consists of the units "Understanding the Bahá'í Writings", "Prayer", and "Life and Death".
"Responding to the inmost longing of every heart to commune with its Maker, they carry out acts of collective worship in diverse settings, uniting with others in prayer, awakening spiritual susceptibilities, and shaping a pattern of life distinguished for its devotional character."
— 21 April 2008 message from the Universal House of Justice
Arising to Serve
Book 2 of the main sequence explores the nature of a path of service and the manner in which it is to be trodden. An essential feature of community life is unity and fellowship. Visiting people in their homes—family and friends, neighbors and acquaintances—and talking with them about themes central to spiritual and social existence is the first conscious act of service carried out by those engaged in building such communities. The book helps participants acquire the skills and abilities, knowledge and qualities, needed to enter into conversations with others that are uplifting to the mind and spirit. Participants also think about the nature of the joy one derives from service. There are three units in the book: "The Joy of Teaching", "Deepening Themes", and "Introducing Bahá'í Beliefs".
"As they call on one another in their homes and pay visits to families, friends and acquaintances, they enter into purposeful discussion on themes of spiritual import . . . and welcome increasing numbers to join them in a mighty spiritual enterprise."
Teaching Children's Classes, Grade 1
The second act of service addressed by the Institute is in the area of the spiritual education of children. The education of children is essential to the transformation of society. Book 3 focuses on some of the knowledge, skills and qualities necessary for those wishing to enter this important field of service. The first unit, "Some Principles of Bahá'í Education", briefly examines certain principles and concepts inherent to education from a Bahá'í point of view. It does this in the context of character development, as preparation for the next unit, "Lessons for Children's Classes, Grade 1", which offers a set of lessons intended to foster the development of spiritual qualities in small children. The third unit, "Conducting Classes for Children", seeks to develop the skills and abilities needed to manage a class with a great deal of love and understanding and, at the same time, with the discipline necessary to create a proper learning environment.
"Aware of the aspirations of the children of the world and their need for spiritual education, they extend their efforts widely to involve ever-growing contingents of participants in classes that become centres of attraction for the young and strengthen the roots of the Faith in society."
A branch course of Book 3
This book, which builds on the experience gained in Book 3 in teaching classes for the spiritual education of children, is intended for those interested in pursuing this highly meritorious path of service. It presents an opportunity for participants to reflect on their first year in conducting a children's class and offers lessons for the second grade of an educational program inspired by the Bahá'í teachings. Also included in the book is a collection of songs for use in educational activities with children.
Courses in the area of child education will form a specialized branch in the Ruhi Institute's series, which will train teachers of Bahá'í children's classes for grade two and upwards and will become progressively more complex in nature. It is envisioned that, upon their completion of this specialized branch, teachers will have acquired a substantial amount of knowledge about the field of education in general and will have developed fairly sophisticated skills related to lesson planning and classroom management.
The Twin Manifestations
Book 4 in the main sequence returns to the question of identity, the "I" in the statement "I walk a path of service". History shapes much of the identity of individuals, as well as entire peoples. The second and third units in the book are dedicated to the study of the life history of Bahá'u'lláh, the Author of the Bahá'í Faith, and His Forerunner, the Báb. In the first unit, the significance of this Day is briefly examined. Seeing clearly the elements that characterize the past enables individuals to contribute more effectively to shaping the future.
"As they call on one another in their homes and pay visits to families, friends and acquaintances, [they] deepen their knowledge . . . and welcome increasing numbers to join them in a mighty spiritual enterprise."
Releasing the Powers of Junior Youth
This book has a special place in the sequence of the Ruhi Institute. According to the Bahá'í teachings, an individual reaches the age of maturity at 15, when spiritual and moral obligations become binding. The years immediately before this age, then, take on special significance. This is the time when fundamental concepts about individual and collective life are formulated in the mind of an adolescent struggling to leave behind the habits of childhood. Youth between the ages of 12 to 15 have much to say, and whoever treats them as children misses the opportunity to help them form a proper identity. The three units that make up Book 5 focus on some of the concepts, skills, qualities, and attitudes that experience has shown are required by those wishing to implement a program for the spiritual empowerment of junior youth.
"They assist junior youth to navigate through a crucial stage of their lives and to become empowered to direct their energies toward the advancement of civilization."
Implementing a Program for the
Spiritual Empowerment of Junior Youth
A set of branch courses following Book 5
Courses for implementing a program for junior youth will form a specialized branch. They will complement, and eventually merge with, the branch courses for teaching Bahá'í children's classes. Referred to as "animators", those who enter this path of service will be helped to prepare themselves to work with young people between the ages of 12 to 15 and to familiarize themselves with the materials recommended by the Ruhi Institute for use with this age group, which currently include items with content inspired by the Bahá'í Faith, as well as those which treat specifically Bahá'í subjects.
Teaching the Cause
People from every walk of life are welcome to explore the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh and learn how they can apply them to better their lives. All Bahá'ís, then, share liberally and unconditionally the teachings and precepts of their Faith. Although the propagation of Bahá'u'lláh's message is one of the most essential services to be rendered, teaching is also a state of being—a state of being in which one is constantly sharing with others that which one has been so bountifully blessed. This concept is explored in the first unit of Book 6, "The Spiritual Nature of Teaching". The next two units, "The Qualities and Attitudes of the Teacher" and "The Act of Teaching", examine various notions about the nature of teaching in light of the Bahá'í writings and how it should be approached, emphasizing the importance of adopting a posture of learning. Of particular significance is the example offered in the third unit of how to introduce the Faith to a seeker through the story of Anna and Emilia.
"As they call on one another in their homes and pay visits to families, friends and acquaintances, [they] share Bahá'u'lláh's message, and welcome increasing numbers to join them in a mighty spiritual enterprise."
Walking Together on a Path of Service
Book 7 is dedicated to an act of service crucial to the functioning of the Ruhi Institute itself, namely, helping a group of individuals go through the initial six courses in the sequence. That individuals accompany one another on a path of service to their communities is central to the process of capacity building set in motion by the courses. The first unit of the book, "The Spiritual Path," raises awareness of the spiritual dynamics of advancing along a path of service and increases understanding of the forces at work. The second unit, "Becoming a Tutor of Books 1-6," examines some of the concepts, attitudes, skills and abilities that contribute to the capability of helping a group of friends to go through the earlier courses. This is generally done by bringing together eight or ten people in what is termed a "study circle". The third unit, "Promoting the Arts at the Grassroots," is designed to create appreciation for the role of artistic endeavors in the activity of a study circle.
"Thousands upon thousands, embracing the diversity of the entire human family, are engaged in systematic study of the Creative Word in an environment that is at once serious and uplifting."

At a Glimpse
Weeden's tiny hamlet of Ariss may be a rural community, but it's only about 10 kilometres from the University of Guelph and about 22 kilometres from the University of Waterloo—in Canada's technology centre. Despite this, its residents still struggle to access the internet at a time when the traditional news media—and new journalism ventures—are finding their audiences online.
"My internet service at home, sometimes it goes one, maybe half a megabyte down. I can't grade, I can't do anything, there's no point, I might as well give up until about midnight," says Weeden, a University of Guelph PhD candidate, whose experience made its way into her thesis inspiring an investigation into ways that rural Canada can keep up in the digital economy. Weeden is currently in her second year in the Rural Studies program in the school of Environmental Design and Rural Development.
"When we talk about gaps or lack of connectivity, whose standards are we using?," Weeden asks. "I think you associate the lack of service with very remote areas that are very rural, but I live within 20 minutes of University of Waterloo, Laurier and University of Guelph on either side, and I can't get service that is actually workable."
Weeden says that she also has a satellite, because if she solely relied on internet then she would never be able to participate in society.
"If I have .05 mg service, nothing loads," Weeden says, using Twitter as an example. "If we relied on the internet to be able to watch television or watch the news or any of that good stuff, we wouldn't ever watch it … the reliability is a big part of the problem."
The issue of internet access in southwestern Ontario has been a topic of concern for a while. During the September 2018 municipal elections, anger and frustration over internet access was reflected across every candidate platform, with internet speeds as a top priority. But many people couldn't even participate fully in the election because they couldn't get online to view candidate platforms.
"Where are people going to get information about their candidates?" Brian Masschaele asks. Masschaele works as Director of Community and Cultural Services at the Elgin County library. He says that because of a lack of media outlets, and poor quality information online, residents are not getting as informed as they would like to be about who is running. "It is an example where there's a lot of information that people are not getting, and they are not able to fully participate in the process."
In pockets across Elgin county people have limited cellular or wireless service, he says. This is because homes are not close enough to telecommunications towers. Many rural residents also only have access to some forms of satellite service, which is typically too expensive to subscribe to, or they are still on dial up or DSL.
"We have some communities that had fibre optics installed in the last year to two years. That roll out is going very slowly and very targeted to certain communities," Masschaele says.
While traditional forms of print journalism have been declining rapidly, Masschaele says very few new media publications are emerging. The result? With poor connectivity and limited news service, residents are not getting access to enough local news.
A startup in the community has emerged as a crisis response. After several newspapers shuttered two to three years ago, Melissa Schneider decided she would find a way to fill the gap.
She founded The Echo, a free biweekly print publication in June 2018. The first issue was distributed to approximately 2,500 households within central Elgin. Today, about 4000 issues are distributed in the area.
"We do free distribution to people in central Elgin and Southwold in the hopes of just being able to get local news in the hands of people that are interested in it," Schneider says.
Schneider was affected by the mass layoffs related to the Metroland and Postmedia swap on Nov. 27, 2017. It was then that she realized the need for a local print publication.
"Because we are such a rural community, not just Elgin County, but all of our municipalities are fairly rural, there are still people who do not have access to the internet," Schneider says.
Since hydro goes out fairly frequently, Schneider says there is a running joke that when that happens at least people can sit with a flashlight or candle and read their copy of The Echo.
The fact that rural southwestern Ontario has an internet problem is not news. In fact, a government campaign called SouthWestern Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) was put in place last year to combat the lack of fibre optic networks in those areas.
CIRA found that 100 percent of Canadians in urban areas have the potential to access high speed internet, whereas only 85 percent have that potential in rural areas. Meaning about one million people in rural communities don't have high speed broadband access.
Helen Hambly Odame, associate professor in capacity development and rural studies at Guelph University, says southwestern Ontario makes up approximately 10 percent of Canada's population, but 230,000 premises in that area does not meet the standard connectivity of 50:10.
"Many folks in urban areas in Toronto are getting one thing: unlimited plans. This is a dream for most of us who live in southwestern Ontario." Most service providers are all about business so they typically, to some extent, only cover wealthier neighbourhoods where they could sell packages, says Hambley Odame. She estimates that about 40 percent of the towers in rural southwestern Ontario aren't fibre-connected.
"You need to make sure that places where people go to get information and news are really functioning at the best possible connectivity because these are important places," Hambley Odame says, adding that expensive subscription costs are not sufficient.
The story of parents driving their children to the nearest Tim Hortons to do their homework is a common one. "[Some] kids are growing up without having the access to the internet in some areas of the country and the parents are in this horrible position of also saying we're on a limited plan," says Hambley Odame, adding that unlimited data plans offered in urban centres are seldom offered in rural areas. It then comes down to what information you're going to prioritize, which will usually be information essential to the household. "Watching the news, even on your device, that's just not going to be a priority," she says.

Q: Change Snow Leopard Login Wallpaper w/ Terminal I know this is possible as I did it once before.
How do you set the login background wallpaper to something else using terminal?

A: The login screen background image is located at /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg — you can simply sudo cp another jpeg image to replace it (though I'd recommend backing it up first!).

A: You can do it using AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
     set desktop picture to POSIX file "/path/to/file.jpg"
end tell

It should be fairly easy to package this in an Automator script.
Alternatively, you can use defaults:
defaults write com.apple.desktop Background '{default = {ImageFilePath = "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Black & White/Lightning.jpg"; };}'

I haven't tested this myself, so you may have to run killall Dock before this takes effect.
Edit: more information on this and launchd
