Arc Vector
Unveiled at EICMA, the Arc Vector brings the future of riding to 2019. The electric bike is a beast, boasting a 124 mph top speed, 138 electric horsepower, and a range estimated at up to 170 miles in the city. That's not all that's impressive about it.
The Vector is built on a monocoque structure rather than a traditional tubular frame, fitted with a carbon fiber wishbone front suspension, as well as a set of Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes. Any buyer of the Vector will also receive a specific helmet and riding jacket that communicate with the "intelligent" bike. The helmet features HUD, navigation, and a rearview camera, while the jacket communicates tactile information to the rider. For instance, obstacles are identified by a vibration or a gentle tap on the rider's shoulder.
Sounds too good to be true? It isn't—that is, if you have $117,000 to spare and manage to get your hands on one of the 399 units that are scheduled to roll out during the first year of production.

CSC City Slicker
What if you could get your hands on an electric bike for a little more than $2,000, would you board the electric train? If so, keep an eye out for California Scooter Company's (CSC) City Slicker. The Groom-looking, Chinese-built model is a neat addition to CSC's lineup, known for its funky, low-priced bikes built overseas by Zongshen using CSC specs and standards.
The City Slicker offers a respectable range of up to 62 miles in the city and can reach a top speed of 48 mph. The tank is a convenient storage compartment and even offers two drive modes to adapt the bike's personality to the rider's preference. For only $2,495, the City Slicker is a great addition to any garage, ideal for urban commuting.

Etergo AppScooter
Dutch company Etergo recently received a massive $11-million investment from an anonymous German automaker. Combined with the near-$6-millions it gathered via its crowdfunding campaign, it looks like the AppScooter is set for production!
The AppScooter can receive up to three batteries, which should offer an impressive range of up to 150 miles. If you don't need all that range on a daily basis, two of the batteries can be removed and left at home or in the office to charge—the AppScooter will gladly run on only one, allowing you to swap and get a fresh charge every time you head out.
It also features a practical 60-liter storage compartment under the seat and will connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth to provide navigation displayed directly on the scooter's screen.
The model is expected to come to the U.S., however not before another year or so. European pricing is set at €3,399 ($3,860). If that price survives exporting fees, we could end up with a very solid new electric scooter contender on the market.

Evoke Urban S and Classic
Evoke was introduced to the US market in 2017 thanks to a partnership with iPhone-maker Foxconn which allowed the company to expand and increase production. It launched the Urban S in North American in mid-2017 before unveiled the Urban Classic at EICMA a few months later.
For 2019, Evoke is updating its two under $10k models. The S and the Classic receive new DCT tires with a thicker rubber at the back for increased grip, a reverse gear, a new riding mode for a total of 3 as well as a storage mode that allows the owner to safely put the bike away for the winter without having to worry about the battery.
New for the 2019 MY is the optional dual charger now compatible with level 2 charging stations that gets you a full charge in 60 to 90 minutes.
Also coming this year is a new model for the company. Dubbed "Project Kruzer" until now, it will hit the market as the Evoke 6061 as an electric cruiser with the claim of being the "most powerful electric cruiser built to date".

Fly Free Smart Desert/Classic
California startup Fly Free is playing the vintage card to the max, from its Captain America-looking logo to its undeniably retro lineup of all-new electric bikes. In fact, earlier in 2018, the company released two of its projected three models: the Smart Desert and the Smart Café.
The current trends in motorcycle aesthetics and the names of the models are a dead giveaway as to what inspired the Smarts design. The Smart Desert is, of course, the scrambler off-roader with a look similar to the Husqvarnas ridden by Steven McQueen 60 years ago. The Smart Café is the road racer with the classic front and back cowls, clip ons, and flat tuck and roll saddle.
Both models are able to travel up to 50 miles (100 miles with the additional battery) and can reach a top speed of 50 mph. Fly Free's third Smart, the "Old", has yet to be unveiled. Pricing is expected to begin around $6,399.
The Denzel Electric Cafe Racer Is Coming To The States
Harley-Davidson Livewire
Here's one that took its sweet time crawling to the market, but after years of development, touring, testing, teasing, and ultimately losing a bit of the crowd's interest, looks like Harley-Davidson Livewire should finally be ready.
The company has yet to release any relevant information regarding its first electric model such as battery capacity, range, output, price, etc. Harley went as far as to bring the bike to Milan to show the (rest of the) world without adding anything to what we already knew. Harley has been promising the model for four years now, so have they managed to keep up with the electric industry's fast-paced competition or will it be already outdated by the time it comes out? We'll find out in 2019.
We do know the model will be equipped with 7 riding modes, ABS, Brembo brakes, traction control, TFT display, and acceleration will be provided by the permanent magnet electric motor.

Ducati Goes Electric With New MIG-RR E-Bicycle
Super Soco TC Max
Chinese company Super Soco was also in Milan for the 2018 EICMA back in November. It was in town to show off its all-new TC Max, the TC's brother on steroids. With a look that reminds of Honda's Neo Sport Café concepts and a silhouette that screams "motorcycle" rather than "electric motorcycle", the TC Max offers everything the entry-level TC offers, but better.
Electric range previously set at 50 miles (100 with two batteries) is now extended to 68 miles and top speed increases from 45 mph to 62 mph. The battery is a 72 Volt block able to produce 3.2 kWh of power, which translates roughly to 4 hp. The best part is that the TC Max price tag has been set at $5,100 which makes it easy to get on.
Super Soco's electric lineup isn't available in the US yet, but steps are being taken for the company's product to come to the American market.
Tarform
Tarform takes the environmental approach to a whole new level. Not only is its bike electric (of course), but the company uses 3-D printed components as well as biomaterials, aiming to reduce wastes. Who doesn't want to encourage that?
The company plans on putting its new e-bike on the market by the late 2019. We're hoping by then the model will receive a name. The design is obviously inspired by that café racer aesthetic with the flat tuck and roll saddle and pillion cowl. Other elements, such as the hexagonal handlebar, digital display with what looks like rider assist technology, and arc-reactor-like feature on the side of the battery give it a more modern flare.
The unnamed model is expected to offer a combined 75-mile range—there's been no talk of a top speed just yet. Pricing for a regular unit is set at $18,000 while the collectors' edition will set you back $28,000.
While the electric variant of the famous little Italian scooter has been available on the European market since October 2018, the U.S. is only getting it this year. The range of the Vespa Elettrica is estimated at 60 miles and power is rated at roughly 5 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. A full charge takes 4 hours.
The vintage little thing should be available here in April 2019 and pricing has been set at a steep $7,400.

Zapp i300
If you think scooters are meant to be quiet little urban commuters that deliver on cuteness but not on performance, you might want to change that. Here's the i300 to prove you are wrong about scooters. The electric two-wheeler is produced by UK-based Zapp (maybe that's what inspired the scooter's funky z-shaped silhouette?)
The i300 looks adorable, but beware of its bite: the electric little scooter is expected to do the Kessel Run (or in Earthly measurements, the 0 to 45) in 4.1 seconds thanks to a massive 432 lb-ft of torque for a 198 lb vehicle. It can reach a top speed of 60 mph and the removable battery makes charging super easy. The only downside? Range is rated at only 40 miles, which can be easily depleted if you plan on taking full advantage of all that torque.
The scooter goes for $7,100 which isn't cheap and is currently limited to a few European markets, but we can expect the market to grow as units start rolling out in the spring.
KTM Joins The Electric Minibike Game With The SX-E 5
Zero DS and DSR
Zero Motorcycles' dual-sport-inspired models, the DS and DSR, are receiving a little power hike for 2019. The bikes are expected to be 8-percent faster and 35-percent more powerful. The entry-level DS keeps the same battery, however, the more powerful DS ZF 14.4 receives the same battery as the DSR which should increase its range to 200 miles (in the city).
The DSR, on the other, receives instead a few accessories upgrades which will include a windscreen, tank grip, hand guards, and a 12-Volt socket.

Zero S and SR
The street-friendly Zeros, namely the S and SR are also getting a boost. Like in the DS, the base model S also gets an 8/35-percent increase in speed and power while the bigger SZF14.4 receives a 10-percent range increase to now reach 223 city miles—the best range in the Zero family.

It's been nine months since Eveline Xia took the microphone outside Vancouver's downtown library, riling up a crowd that waved unusual placards emblazoned with, "Give Us Data." The slogan was a Twitter hashtag she'd started as a sequel to her more famous catchphrase, #DontHave1Million.
Specifically, her plea was for governments to release whatever statistics they have on how many foreign buyers are snapping up properties in Vancouver's real estate market and the extent to which that plays a role in booming home prices.
Now Canada's federal housing agency has released what it admits is just one ''first step towards filling this data gap,'' albeit a ''meaningful'' one -- how many condominiums of various ages were bought by foreign owners.
In Vancouver's superheated real estate market, foreign buyers concentrated their purchases on newer condos built after 2010, making up six per cent of all owners in that group in 2015, according to a report released on Thursday by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). That compares with Vancouver's overall rate of just 3.5 per cent foreign ownership in the condo market -- roughly the same as Toronto's rate.
Although CMHC said the share of foreign ownership in both major cities ''showed a statistically significant increase'' from 2014 to 2015, the data throws some cold water on theories that offshore investment is the main cause of skyrocketing prices in Metro Vancouver.
But the agency cautioned that its Vancouver numbers were much less reliable than those for other Canadian cities, adding a "use with caution" disclaimer to its estimates.
In fact, the agency concedes that even national numbers are far from perfect.
"The general perception is that foreign buyers are key players whose actions could have significant implications for Canadian housing markets," the report states. "Despite a range of statistics suggested by various studies on the size of foreign ownership, available factual information remains scarce."
"It's a beginning, but definitely doesn't give many answers," commented Andy Yan, senior urban planner at Bing Thom Architect and director of Simon Fraser University's City Program, in a phone interview Friday after the data came out.
The agency's definition was an owner whose permanent residence is outside the country, which might include Canadian citizens living abroad -- but overlook speculative investors from other cities.
"The devil's in the details," Yan quipped.
University of B.C. geographer David Ley, speaking before the CHMC report was released, delivered a similar message, cautioning that "data is certainly not the be-all and end-all" of solving Vancouver's housing affordability problem.
''We're going to have to be quite sophisticated with this data,'' Ley said, ''because investors have found ways to make capital seem local. While ultimately it is offshore capital, it is very hard to trace. There may be a smaller share of foreign buyers who show up than we anticipate'' in data like the CMHC has now published, he cautioned, ''because it only identifies the buyers, not the source of the capital."
The new CMHC numbers also don't account for the recently revealled use of so-called ''assignment clauses'' in real-estate contracts, which allow a property to change hands multiple times before it's sold for good, without leaving a record along the way.
The B.C. government has vowed to investigate and crack down on profits made from such manoeuvres. In this spring's provincial budget, Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced the government would begin to require real estate buyers to declare whether they are a permanent resident or citizen of Canada. The opposition New Democrats say that won't go far enough to close a legal loophole that is jacking up Lower Mainland house prices.
The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FinTRAC), Canada's federal anti-money laundering agency, has expressed concern that money flowing into Vancouver's hot real-estate market could be masking illegal transactions.
But still others, including Vancouver's mayor and B.C.'s minister responsible for housing, have suggested that pointing the finger at foreign ownership at all may be fuelling racism against Chinese immigrants.
Xia earned cheers from the crowd At Vancouver's #GiveUsData rally last June for demanding that all three levels of government start working together to collect information and act on it. But as for solutions, she was more circumspect.
"Unfortunately, there will be no magic solution to the housing crisis," she said at the time. "I wish I could tell you otherwise." The experts parsing CMHC's new information would heartily agree.

Q: Example of hyperquadratic convergence through Newton method. I took a class about numerical analysis.
And when f(x)=sin(x) and what to do is find approximation of Pi.
Then in Newton method, it has hyperquadratic convegergence, and actually its order is 3.
I don't know why. (I tried to solve this problem through proof of Newton method using Taylor expansion, but I couldn't.)

A: Newton's method is a fixed point iteration, i.e.
$$ x_{n+1} = g(x_n)$$
for a  very special $g$, i.e.
$$ g(x) = x - \frac{f(x)}{f'(x)}. $$
In general, we have
$$ g'(x) = 1 - \frac{f'(x)f'(x) - f(x)f''(x)}{f'(x)^2} = \frac{f(x)f''(x)}{f'(x)^2},$$
and $f(x)=0$ implies $g(x)=0$.
It is the fact that $g'$ vanishes at the root which gives us (local) quadratic convergence of Newton's method in general.
If you want higher order convergence, then more derivatives of $g$ must vanish. Find higher derivatives of $g$ and evaluate them at your root. The known properties of $\sin$, $\cos$ and $\tan$ will suffice.

Today's message is especially dedicated to the great B.K.S. Iyengar in Prune, India.
I'm a tennis teacher. I'm also a tennis learner.
Yes, I teach tennis – the strokes, strategy, preparation, character, fitness, nutrition and mental training.
My students learn from me, but I also learn from my students. On a daily basis.
I believe that part of teaching is learning and re-learning.
The last thing I want to do is be on automatic. I don't want to be a parrot. Every student has different needs and challenges, therefore, I learn from them – I learn new ways to teach. This also helps me customize the lesson for my student. It's like playing a match – sometimes you have to make adjustments. Conditions will never be exactly the same, so why do we act like they are?
I even look at my opponent as a teacher. They are attacking my weaknesses in order to win a point, so they are teaching me how to improve. I, on the other hand, am doing the same to them.
In the past, I used to think of my opponent as the enemy. Someone I wanted to beat. But once I realized that there was another way to look at it, my game changed. I thought of my opponent as a teacher and student. I started to relax. I started to play to my potential. And I started to really have fun. The result was no longer an issue. It was all about the present moment.
This may be strange or a paradigm shift for you, but try to think about this for the rest of your day. Think about how you are a teacher and how you are a student. In the end, we are really all the same.

Valentines Traditions Around The World
StyleCracker Team | February 13, 2015 No Comments
It's only a few hours till the celebrations for V-Day begin in earnest, and the love fueled frenzy of chocolates, flowers and romance starts. But did you know that in Japan, the day of love is celebrated on two different dates – on February 14th and again a month later? Or that originally, the festival spawned nasty (and quite frankly, malicious) customs in France? As people all over the globe gear up to celebrate Valentine's Day 2015, we tell you about the various sweet (and at times strange) V-day courtship traditions of the world!
In the United States, the tradition of giving out love cards known as "Valentines" has long survived. Even today, school kids are encouraged to bring cards (handmade or otherwise) for their classmates in celebration of the festival.
The poets of Britain have probably penned the majority of the best-loved romantic verses associated with Saint Valentine. One uniform custom is the singing of special songs by children, who then receive gifts of candy, fruit or money. In some areas, valentine buns are baked with caraway seeds, plums or raisins.
In Denmark, a valentine card is known as a "lover's card." Older versions of this greeting came in the form of a transparency which, when held up to the light, depicted the image of a lover handing his beloved a gift. One custom in Denmark is for people to send pressed white flowers called Snowdrops to their friends. Danish men may also send a form of valentine known as a gaekkebrev (or "joking letter"). The sender of this gaekkebrev pens a rhyme but does not sign his name. Instead, he signs the message with dots…one dot for each letter in his name. If the lady who receives the card guesses the name of the sender, then she is rewarded with an Easter Egg later in the year.
In France, a custom known as "drawing for" once occurred for Valentine's Day, until it was banned by the government for being too mean. Unmarried individuals would go into houses facing each other and begin calling out across from one window to another, pairing-off with the chosen partner. If the young man failed to be enthralled with his valentine, he would dump her. As a result, a bonfire would be lit later where the ladies could burn images of the SOB and verbally abuse him in a loud tone. This ritual was eventually abandoned since it left much room for nastiness, ridicule or even outright malice.
In Japan, Valentine's Day is celebrated on two different dates…February 14 and March 14. On the first date, the female gives a gift to the male and on the second date…known as White Day and supposedly introduced by a marshmallow company in the 1960s…the male has to return the gift he received on February 14! V-day customs in Korea are quite similar to the ones in Japan.
Our favorite V-day customs are the ones in Taiwan and Scotland!
In Scotland, Valentine's Day is celebrated with a festival. At this festival, there is an equal number of unmarried males and females, the men write their name (or a made-up name) on a piece of paper which is then folded and placed into a hat. The females then draw a name from the hat and that's how they partner up. The females would then pin the name of their partner over their hearts or on their sleeves. A dance often follows and, at the end of the festival, it is not unusual for marriages to take place. According to another Scottish custom, the first young man or woman encountered by chance on the street or elsewhere will become that individual's valentine. Valentine's Day gifts in Scotland are frequently given by both parties in the form of a love-token or true-love-knot.
Valentine's Day is celebrated in Taiwan on February 14, but there is also a special Valentine's Day on July 7 of the lunar calendar, based on an ancient Chinese folktale. According to Taiwan tradition, the color and number of the roses holds much significance. For example, one red rose means "an only love," eleven roses means "a favorite," ninety-nine roses means "forever," and one hundred eight roses means "marry me."

Why Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones aren't allowed on flights anymore..


"People say music can't change the world. I think it can.
Big Country were responsible for changing the face of guitar rock in the early 80s. This Scottish foursome crept onto the music scene in 1982 with a uniquely persuasive rock-anthem guitar sound, combing undercurrents of new wave with an Indo-jazz fusion input by ex-Skids Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson. As a teenager, Stuart Adamson was a keen follower of new wave punk bands The Damned, Clash, Buzzcocks, The Slits, Subway Sect and The Jam. These were the influences which persuaded the young Adamson to start a band, not that he needed much persuasion. His ad in the local paper read: NEW WAVE BAND LOOKING FOR DRUMMER. NO HIPPIES. Out of this unobtrusive advertisment in the province of Dunfermline The Skids were born and Adamson's unique guitar-style became the musical focus. Support gigs for The Stranglers and Buzzcocks ensured imminent success. Sandy Muir, a record shop owner put up money for a demo single which John Peel couldn't get enough of. Jean-Jacques Burnell sorted out more gigs, while Peel did his bit by recommending his new-found sound to Virgin who immediately signed them up.
In the days pre Skids, as a fifteen-year-old apprentice, Adamson was strumming R&B music in a Dunfermline-based covers group, Tattoo. He remembers the Skids days fondly, as a mixture of chaotic gigs and a right good laugh. He says later, of Big Country, "I was trying to recapture the feeling I had for the music in the early days with the Skids". These were the wonder years - filled with a passionate exhuberance and an innocent sense of what was yet to come.
Hopes for a duo studio ensemble with fellow Skid, Bruce Watson were quickly discarded and two former members of On The Air (a support of early Skids performances) stepped in - Mark Brzezicki and Tony Butler - who brought with them the prestigious credits of The Pretenders and Pete Townshend. Ian Grant, a young manager, first saw Adamson when The Skids were supporting The Stranglers in '79. When Grant quit managing The Stranglers, he knew what he wanted next. Grant had seen Butler play with Pete Townshend at Brockwell park and liked what he saw. The band were put together, did four demos and got a record deal ten days later.
Stuart Adamson (born 11th April 1958, manchester: vocals/guitar). Bruce Watson (born 11th March 1961, Timmis (sic), Ontario, Canada: guitar), Mark Brzezicki (born 21st June 1957, Slough: drums) and Tony Butler (born 2nd Feb. 1957: bass) each brought their own style and musical history to the new project which would mould the Big Country sound. Brzezicki harboured a passion for jazz and drumming (an unusual combination indeed), Butler had spent his youth playing guitar in front of the mirror (didn't we all) to the sounds of early Genisis and Hendrix, while Watson wanted to be either a footballer or a guitarist when he grew up. When he was 15, he gave up football. As a melodic punk group, Big Country had a fair amount of success but not a commercial scale. Then came the Alice Cooper tour, on which the lads lasted about two dates before the erratic Cooper changed his mind about his favoured support and threw them out. The band drew upon their multi-musical past and evolved into a remarkable fusion of country, folk and celtic blues, denying any preconceived formula for guitar rock of the 80s. They have since become one of the UK's greatest guitar bands in an age when digital synthesisers and secondhand pop was on the increase. Their first gig was in the Glen (Dunfermline). The lads have always maintained a healthy attitude to the music business.
With Phonogram backing them and successful gigs and tours on the go it would have been easy to let it go to their heads. Butler says their aim was "to be a good group in a world where groups weren't particularly good". They hated the star system which housed arrogant pop stars and sought to make the system play the game their way - giving them all the rewards which success has to offer but without the trappings of fame, loss of privacy, freedom and time. Who could blame them?
At the peak of their success however, Big Country seemed to vanish from the scene altogether. Rumours circulated that Stuart had had enough and quit. Even a U.S. tour, supporting Hall & Oates, wan't enough to deter the overworked Admason from wanting a break. A three year period of non-stop touring and a two-month soundtrack recording for 'Restless Natives' had taken their toll. this was to be their only new material in 1985. it wasn't until 1986 when Bob Geldof asked them to appear in the finale of Live Aid when the lads got back together. A UK tour was planned for the same year and so, after a much-deserved 18-month break, Big Country released The Seer (1986, Mercury), containing additional vocals by kate Bush, 'Look Away' was a major hit in 1986 reaching No.7.
Peace In Our Time (1988) was released on a new label, Reprise, and saw a move in a totally new direction for the foursome. Utilising American production values, the old Big Country sound was given the stateside sheen. Leaving the bitter taste of mellow rock in the mouth. A move which Adamson later acknowledged as being "at a tangent to the plot".
No Place Like Home was released in 1991 and finally saw the lads getting back to basics but adding their own Scottish sheen on an album of intense, uplifting tunes. Or as Adamson put it, "We're trying to do traditional things in a contemporary style". With Brzezicki as session drummer, the old recogniseable form of Big Country's leaping rock was gone. An alternative set of rhythmic patterns were used, creating a new sound. they had crafted one of the most distinctive sounds of British Rock. The album contained classic Country: 'Ships' and 'Into The Fire', but the boys were dissapointed with their new sound and signed with Chrysalis for '93's Buffalo Skinners - a return to form.
In 1994 and 8-track Radio Sessions album was released and the following year, the BBC Live In Concert special featured 'Peace In Our Time', 'River Of Hope' and 'Kings Of Emotion' (sic). 1996's Eclectic recording at Dingwalls in London's Camden town featured guest vocalists Kym mazelle, Carol Laula and Steve Harley, belting out hits 'I'm on Fire', 'Ruby Tuesday' and 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'. only last year the Big Country sound once again proved its worth with Brighton Rock - recorded live at the Brighton Dome in 1995 - the album is a pleasant seaside romp through favourites 'Thunder And Lightning', 'God's Great Mistake', 'You Dreamer', 'Sail Into Nothing', 'I'm Not Ashamed' and 'Post Nuclear Talking Blues'.
Contrary to what we'd expect when we think of Big Country, it's not all guitar, guitar, guitar. A mixture of 12-string guitars, mandolins, sitars, banjos and honky tonk pianos all go into producing the celtic-country swing which lends itself to both uncomplicated vocal/piano duos and belting instrumentals. Big Country share the same traits that helped make U2 so universally popular. Both groups are 'outsiders' in that they don't come from London, New York or Paris and have never pretended to. They harness that which made them unique in the first place and don't ever lose sight of it. Ever since they formed, fifteen years ago people have attributed Big Country with their very own musical culture - a neatly packaged marketing niche - in the category of 'Scottish Rock'. Yes, some of them may be from Scotland but Big Country are more than four lads from the provinces making good music. Without letting sentimentality get in their way, they produce fine, rousing anthems and ballads, shouting, whispering individual stories with different settings and a new set of emotions each time. They tell tales of hidden treasures and magic and paint pictures of weather-beaten hills and stormy skies. Of The Crossing, Adamson once said, "The sound made pictures. It spread out wide landscapes. great drums were played out under turbulent skies. there was romance and reality, truth and dare." Adamson's heart has always belonged to the serene pastures of his adopted hometown of Dunfermline. With several depatures from the usic scene throughout the years, Adamson found it difficult to cope with the day to day pressures of success.
Big Country are classic anti-rock stars of their time. Despite playing on the Grammies show in the U.S., flying on Concorde, having top ten albums, hit singles and gold discs, Adamson, Watson, Butler and Brzezicki have remained four wholesome boys. Adamson sees himself as a working person, though working class isn't something he believes in. "Putting divisions between people which shouldn't be there."
Richard Jobson (ex-Skids) said of Big Country's success, "They captured emotions most people overlook or take for granted and created a vehicle for release for many people." These boys are here to stay. No matter what new sounds are on offer - drum n' bass, jungle, techno - there's always a place in our hearts for Big Country.

Tiny houses built on campground give veterans homes to call their own
PHILADELPHIA - You might have heard of tiny houses before, or maybe even seen some, but these tiny houses are different. Built on a campground purchased by a pastor with the help of donations, they're a part of Operation Safe Haven, and are meant for forgotten veterans to have homes to call their own. Now, the first houses are ready, and the very first veteran has moved in.
Tiny houses, also known as micro-houses, are like normal houses with plumbing, heating, and all the necessities, just shrunk down to a miniature size. Operation Safe Haven will give vets who need it a place to call their own and a community where they feel welcome and understood. According to veteran Eric Hadley, who has helped out on the project, that's not always the case.
"You've got individuals who put their life on the line and serve the country," Hadley told Fox 29. "And then, you know, they get out of the service, and they're just kind of left."
The houses belong to the vets, as a way of saying thank you for their service and to help them build lives outside the service, but maybe most importantly, as a physical reminder that they are never forgotten.

G-Eazy was described by Rolling Stones as "a chiseled, slick, Fifties retro-rebel from a Lana Del Rey video." We wanted to develop a video that kept with this enduring feel yet presented something unexplored for this image with animation.

Blogger Who Leaked Chinese Democracy Faces the Music
by Alex Shoaf July 16, 2009, 9:48 am
It is hard to say whether the leak of Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy was a welcome relief (after more than a decade of rumors) or an offensive disregard for the band's creative rights. Regardless, blogger Kevin Cogill broke the law and he has finally been punished.
A Los Angeles judge handed down a guilty verdict on Tuesday that called for 1 year of probation with 2 months of house arrest, a relative slap on the wrist compared to his original sentence. At one point, Cogill faced a year in prison and a whopping $100,000 fine. His punishment was reduced when magistrate Paul Abrams determined that Cogill did not seek to profit from the leak.
Cogill's sentence comes at a time when RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and other trade groups are waging war on file sharers. The RIAA recently made an example of Minnesota filesharer Jammie Thomas-Rassett, who is facing fines upward of $2 million. While Cogill's retribution pales in comparison to this, he will face some public humiliation at next year's Grammy's when he appears in an anti-piracy commercial.
Cogill maintains that he never meant any harm. He tells The Guardian, "I never intended to hurt the artist," he said. "I intended to promote the artist because I'm a fan." Axl Rose and gang apparently did not appreciate the gesture.

My powerchair was supplied on a 5-year Motability lease contract. Every 4 weeks payment will be taken directly from the Higher Rate Mobility component of my DLA (and eventually the Enhanced Rate of the Mobility component of my PIP) over the next 5 years.
The Motability approved dealer carried out an assessment of my needs to ensure the powerchair fully met them. Indeed I would highly recommend Midshires Powerchairs.
This means I can adjust my seating position in a massive number of ways. It's especially useful for relieving any pressure or achiness caused by my Scoliosis. Being able to tilt the chair means that my carers can sit me in a better position when hoisting me into my chair, and using all three functions at once means I can lie in a flat-ish position enabling them to use the chair as a turning table when helping me to get dressed (pictured left).
I can also adjust the seat height (pictured right) enabling me to reach new heights (especially good at getting shocked looks from kids in the supermarket).
Lights are something I wouldn't be without when driving at night, if only because they warn other people that I'm coming! As well as light at the front and built in at the rear, my powerchair has indicators and hazard lights!
Ankle huggers (pictured left) - something I wouldn't be without now - are straps that go around my ankles which are then fastened to the back of the footplate. These stop my ankle sitting in a bad position and my feet slipping off the side of the footplate The straps have a bit of slack on them which is good as I like to move them around when the position they're in beckmes uncomfortable.
Lateral supports (pictured right) are something I wish I'd discovered years ago. These are stiff cushions which are attached to both sides of the chair. For me they solve two major issues: firstly I lean to one side really badly, and secondly I have a really unsteady / ataxic trunk. For the first time in years I don't loose balance when riding over uneven ground and I can use two hands to do something without falling to one side.
A headrest (pictured left) is something I psychologically struggled with until a few years ago - they were something severely disabled people used and I didn't want to be one. But my head started to wobble which I found affected my speech and swallowing and I was getting a lot of neck/shoulder pain. All this was cured by using a headrest - the one on this chair is perfect.
All in all I am so pleased with this chair and very pleased with the worry-free package I got from Motorbility.


Hire a car in Western Australia's relaxed city of Perth, the sunniest capital with 3000 hrs of sunshine a year.

Drive to Kings Park, one of the largest inner city parks in the world offering shade from the heat of the city, take a picnic in one of the areas available, walk around the sculptured gardens, and follow the Bush land Nature Trail. Kings Park has many Aboriginal Guides who teach bush survival; sample their traditional 'bush tucker' and hear their stories of the area. With 400 hectares of lush gardens and botanical plants and flowers, Kings Park is a great place to go walking, hire a bike or take part in the many summer events held there. For the best view of the city and Swan River visit the Lottery West Federation Walkway.

Make the most of your stay in Perth, hire a car and drive up the Indian Ocean Drive to discover the beaches small fishing villages and national parks along this coastline. North of Perth is Geraltonfamous for their crayfish, next stop is Carnarvon, known for their delicious tropical fruits.

It is one of the few places that it is possible to walk from the beach to the coral reef. There are 500 species of tropical fish, manta rays, sea snakes, whales, turtles and 220 species of coral. Snorkelling here is a unique experience for all ages. However for those who prefer not to swim there a semi-submersible cruise is available with experts onboard it is a great opportunity to learn about the marine life and their natural environment.

HP buys Autonomy for £7bn, kills webOS devices and looks to spin off PC unit
All change as HP goes all-in on enterprise...
By Jo Best | August 19, 2011 -- 08:44 GMT (01:44 PDT) | Topic: Developer
HP has decided to go big on its enterprise software and services play, shedding its PC unit, killing off its webOS devices and making a multibillion pound offer for Autonomy.
HP has announced that it will discontinue operations for webOS devices, such as the HP TouchPadPhoto: HP
HP announced its intention to buy Autonomy on Thursday for a price of £25.50 a share, or around £7bn.
Autonomy, founded in 1996 by its current CEO Mike Lynch and which lists the likes of Coca-Cola, Nestle and Standard Life as customers, has recommended its shareholders should accept the offer and the deal is expected to close before the end of the year.
According to HP, the acquisition will boost its cloud offerings and "strengthen capabilities for data analytics, the cloud, industry capabilities and workflow management", as well as add valuable IP in vertical markets such as healthcare. It will, according to HP, also support its traditional printing business by "continu[ing HP's] growth of document and content management and higher value commercial printing opportunities".
Lynch will continue to head Autonomy and report to HP's CEO Léo Apotheker, with the business still run separately, Apotheker said.
"This is a milestone moment because there is a very real and concrete need for our customers to address the explosion of structured and unstructured information... Autonomy sees the business information transformation and subsequent market opportunity exactly as we do. Moreover, Autonomy's business is well aligned to HP's effort to change and focus our business mix," he said yesterday.
Meanwhile, HP is looking at the future of its personal computing business, announcing a possible spin-off of its consumer PC unit and shutting down its webOS hardware business.
HP is currently exploring its options for the personal systems business - a process expected to take 12 to 18 months - "including the exploration of the separation of its PC business into a separate company through a spin-off or other transaction", HP said.
The company has also decided to kill off its webOS device unit, whose most recent offerings included the TouchPad tablet.
"Consumers are changing the use of the PC. The tablet effect is real and...
...sales of the TouchPad are not meeting our expectations... The velocity of change in the personal device marketplace continues to increase and the competitive landscape has grown increasingly more complex especially around the personal computing arena," Apotheker said yesterday.
HP had to take "the difficult but necessary decision" to close its webOS hardware operations within Q4 2011, he added.
HP only announced the acquisition of Palm just over a year ago, when it paid $1.2bn for the mobile device and OS maker.
Analysts suggested at the time that HP's eye was on the webOS mobile platform rather than Palm's hardware expertise, with a view to enabling it to create a webOS tablet to compete with Apple's iPad.
At the time, HP said buying Palm would improve its ability to "participate more aggressively in the fast-growing, highly profitable smartphone and connected mobile device markets".
The first of those devices were unveiled in February this year with the announcement of a HP-branded webOS tablet and two smartphones.
The tablet, the HP TouchPad, did not launch until July and despite a positive reception - with the TouchPad being touted as a serious rival to Apple's iPad - sales did not live up to HP's expectations. In a telling move earlier this month the company heavily discounted the slate in the US.
The webOS operating system, however, seems likely to live on: "We have been tracking closely the performance of webOS and analysing its operational performance and market opportunities. We were successful at launching software that was praised for its different shaded user experience. We know that many developers feel the operating systems is elegantly designed and it's a respected platform. Therefore, we are exploring options for how best to optimise the value of webOS software going forward," Apotheker said.
Analysts are sceptical as to how beneficial this week's moves will be to HP's long-term future.
"HP, through its plans to shutter webOS and seek alternatives for its PC business, is limiting its exposure to the consumer hardware market and, instead, going all-in on a strategy of increasing its revenue and margins with an enterprise-focused bundle of software, services, servers and storage," said Beau Skonieczny, research analyst in industry watchers TBRI's computing practice, in a research note.
"Removing all or part of its low-margin consumer PC business and the expense of fighting its way into the mobile and tablet markets with a fourth offering (after Apple, Google, and Microsoft) will improve HPs margins in the short term. The company will be challenged, however, to morph into a highly profitable purveyor of software, services, servers and storage - a goal it has pursued for some time," Skonieczny added.
Anthony Miller, managing partner at analysts TechMarketView, added in a research note: "The announcement that HP is to (a) buy Autonomy, (b) scrap its webOS tablets and smartphones (and in so doing write off the $1b+ it paid for Palm in April last year plus who knows how much more R&D to try to turn that sow's ear into a silk purse), and (c) potentially sell off its PC business, completely overshadowed its Q3 results.

'Other Possible Worlds' Contemporary art from Thailand
16albermarle project space - 13 Jun, 2022
25 June – 31 July 2022: 16albermarle Project Space, Sydney
26 June – 1 August 2022: Delmar Gallery, Sydney
Including work by 12 younger and mid-career artists, Other Possible Worlds presents contemporary art from Thailand to Australian audiences. Reflecting Thai art, the exhibition includes works in many media—painting, sculpture, photography, installation, neon, video, prints and works on paper—and from many parts of Thailand.
Kusofiyah Nibuesa, Cultural assimilation 04 (2019). Paper assemblies on print,155 x 280 cm.
Thai art, becoming more established on the world stage, is a fantastic entry point to the country and its diverse cultures. It is creative, sophisticated and often socially or politically engaged. While it has not been easy to see, learn about or collect Thai art outside Thailand, Other Possible Worlds brings a range of work by leading younger artists to Australia.
Home to 70 million people, Thailand is the third most populous country in southeast Asia, and one of the most successful. Thailand is home to ethnic Thais, Malays and other minorities such as the Karen and Hmong, as well as large numbers of well assimilated migrants, especially from China. Over 90 per cent of the population is Buddhist and Buddhism has been a powerful influence on the country's society and culture.
Another powerful influence has been the history of Thailand's experience with colonial powers. Thais are very conscious that, unlike its neighbours, Thailand was never formally colonised. Equally, though, they are conscious of the impact of imported ideas on traditional values and institutions, including in politics.
Surajate Tongchua, Untitled (2021). Paper mâché from recycled government documents, 123 x 60 x 34 cm.
In recent decades, Thais have experienced elections, military coups, several constitutions, and a range of elected, unelected, and semi-elected governments. The monarchy holds a special place in Thai society. The present king, Rama X, ascended to the throne in 2016 on the death of his father, who ruled for 70 years.
Historically, Thai art has been used to promote Thailand's rich heritage and traditions. At the same time, contemporary artists have enthusiastically engaged in contemporary debates. The works in Other Possible Worlds are connected by the artists' collective investigation of key issues facing Thai society—urbanisation, environmental issues, inequality and the resulting high levels of disadvantage, and the political rights and duties of Thai people. As the title suggests, artists have the capacity to imagine other possible futures for Thailand.

Other Possible Worlds provides a platform to discuss broader topics—both where these artists and works sit within Thai society and culture, and in terms of current trends in contemporary art. The exhibition will be accompanied by public programs allowing Australians and others to engage with Thai contemporary artists and curators. It is hoped the wider community of curators, artists, collectors, academics and researchers will participate in this discussion—bringing all voices and experiences together.

Haisang Javanalikhikara
Haisang is one of a new generation of young Thai curators. An artist's daughter, she studied media arts, contemporary art and curatorial practice in the UK. Returning to Bangkok she worked at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre from 2012-2018, while studying for her DFA from Chulalongkorn University. In 2019 she was appointed a lecturer at Chulalongkorn, where she's a director of her faculty's gallery and co-learning space CUArt4C, founder and editor-in-chief of the multimedia e-magazine Teleaesthetics
(teleaesthetics.net) and currently launching the first Master of Arts in Curatorial Practice degree offered in Thailand.
"For nearly a decade I've worked in the Thai art scene. I've seen great developments – maturing in curators, experimental spaces and artists making works in more challenging ways. So when I was approached by John Cruthers to work on an exhibition of contemporary Thai art to be shown in Sydney, I was excited and agreed straight away.
I'm pleased to work with John as I acknowledge his commitment to Southeast Asian art, which is pure and passionate. Also, I've found it thrilling to curate a Thai exhibition for a different audience. There are many Thai immigrants in Sydney, but this exhibition opens another perception of Thailand. It aims to help Australian audiences comprehend Thailand better.
To prepare, John and I did a research trip through Thailand to meet each artist we're interested in. The exhibition comes from this work and our efforts to get the fullest understanding possible. We've gone back and forth on each artist and artwork; on how we're showing them, how they interconnect, how they represent Thailand. I'd say we're a great team as we have similar views on artworks which speak to us. A curatorial framework came naturally from our selections.
Other Possible Worlds should be a revealing introduction to Thai contemporary art as well as the current situation and how it has arisen from historical events. This two-part exhibition isn't presenting one aspect of Thailand, but many, balancing both admirable and critical views. It reflects local events, but I also believe international audiences can relate it to global happenings as well."

John Cruthers – co-curator
John Cruthers is one of Australia's most respected art advisers, and since 2019 director of 16albermarle Project Space in Sydney. Working from 1974 with his mother Sheila Cruthers, he assembled the Cruthers Collection of Women's Art. It was gifted to the University of Western Australia in 2007 and is Australia's largest stand-alone collection of women's art. In 1985 he began working with Australian private collectors. His enthusiasm for southeast Asian art was kindled in 2013. He has travelled widely in the region learning about its art and artists. He opened 16albermarle Project Space to share his passion for southeast Asian art with Australian audiences.
"In 2013 I began exploring southeast Asian art, after three decades working with Australian and Indigenous art. The work was a revelation, and I've spent eight years travelling and learning about each country's art and art scene. My several months in Thailand have been in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. I've visited museums—public and private—university galleries, art centres and commercial galleries. But mostly I've met artists. It's enriching to hear first-hand the impetus for their work and its contribution to national debates about key issues in culture and society.
I began collecting Thai art in 2015, with a focus on art by women. For me it's a fascinating contrast to the Australian art I grew up with. It also represents the challenge of learning about a new country and its culture. From my first purchase I've been confident other Australians would share my enthusiasm if I could find a way to introduce them to the work. Meeting Haisang has helped make this possible."

16albermarle project space
16albermarle is a Project Space in inner-city Sydney founded to present new art from southeast Asia to Australian audiences. Director John Cruthers has travelled widely in the region learning about contemporary art.. His first exhibition Termasuk: Contemporary art from Indonesia, featured 12 artists and ran successfully at Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney in early 2019. Since opening in October 2019, 16albermarle has presented six exhibitions of new contemporary art from countries including Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar, and two exhibitions of Australian art.

This year the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) held its first-ever Summit on Addressing Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants. This is the only time in the UN's 71-year history that the General Assembly has called on heads of state, UN system leadership, civil society, the private sector, international organizations, and academia to come together to strengthen international protections for migrants and refugees.
As a summer fellow with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) – an opportunity supported by the Harvard Kennedy School's Women and Public Policy Program – I dedicated my time to planning both the content and logistics of the summit, and I was lucky enough to return to New York for the big day, Monday, September 19.
One of the first steps collectively taken by all 193 member states was to adopt a pre-negotiated "New York Declaration," which, among its many tenets, gives the General Assembly and UNHCR a deadline of 2018 to present two Global Compacts. The first will focus on refugees and other migrants, with guidelines for the treatment of these vulnerable populations.
The New York Declaration also clarifies the importance of intergovernmental "responsibility sharing" to relieve pressure on the small group of fragile frontline countries that currently shoulder a disproportionate share of refugee crisis costs. In adopting the declaration, member states reaffirmed the importance of adhering to the relevant international laws, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention.
From Syria, to Uganda, Pakistan to the US, the growing global phenomenon of large movements of refugees and migrants has reached unprecedented proportions. In 2015, the number of migrants surpassed 244 million, growing at a rate faster than the world's population. A 2015 UNHCR report indicates that there are 21.5 million refugees, 3.2 million asylum seekers, and 40 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) – a total of over 65 million people forcibly displaced across the globe. This is the highest amount since UNHCR began keeping records in the 1950s.
One lesser-known fact is that forced migration disproportionately affects women and girls, because of hardships like lack of access to health services, limited educational opportunities, and rampant sexual and gender-based violence. Over 60 percent of preventable maternal deaths take place in settings of conflict, displacement and natural disasters.
Although the declaration prescribes that the Global Compacts incorporate "a gender perspective" and "promote gender equality and empowerment," UN funding to gender-specific projects is historically lacking. Only 4 percent of UN projects in 2014 specifically targeted women and girls, and less than 1 percent of all funding to fragile states went to women's groups or women's ministries between 2012 and 2013. As the General Assembly and UNHCR develop the Global Compacts over the next two years, leadership and participation of migrant and refugee women will be essential to address and meet gender-specific needs.
High Commissioner Grandi praised the declaration for expanding the concept of an international refugee response, because now member states unanimously agree that traditional humanitarian aid is inadequate. The high commissioner also said that states' reaffirmation of existing international law will give UNHCR more leverage in holding members accountable for their obligations to refugees and migrants.
More people are forced to flee their homes than at any time since World War II. The only answer to this global problem is to harness the political will of the international community. This summit and the accompanying New York Declaration did just that – it created a blueprint for world leaders to build a more robust protection structure for refugees and migrants.


This week we have seen Theresa May head to Europe to dine with EU leaders, following a long summer spent attempting to win over world leaders.
Her efforts at schmoozing her political opponents and allies have had mixed results - much like the reception to her dancing prowess. But now is the time for real action, with Brexit almost exactly six months away and very little progress made thus far. It has felt like our prime minister has been napping through the past year, with the odd statement claiming to be pushing for the best possible deal belied by recent government reports preparing people for a no-deal Brexit. This hardly instils confidence in myself and other business leaders that we will actually come to an acceptable agreement with the EU.
My main concern at present is for the public sector and our nation's largest employers, as they will undoubtedly be hardest hit by the talent gap that is bound to occur over the coming months and years - due to the volume of people they hire. EU workers have already started leaving the UK, not to mention the global firms that have pulled European headquarters out of London and into cities like Frankfurt, taking many of their staff with them. This is primarily occurring in the financial sector, but lower-skilled industries will be equally hit over the coming months. Healthcare, construction, hospitality and seasonal agriculture rely heavily on workers from the EU. I have already heard of many business leaders approaching recruiters to fill vacancies left by EU nationals, who have returned to their home countries where there are more opportunities and better job security. It also worries me to think of the wider impact this exodus will have on the economy, as the amount these workers pay in tax will suddenly disappear from public finances, not to mention the cost implications of sourcing, hiring and training new candidates.
Given the lack of guidance from our political leaders, I would advise big businesses to start preparing their talent pipeline immediately. Personally, I am readying myself and my business for a no-deal Brexit and will be pleasantly surprised if we have anything other than this outcome, but well prepared either way. Firstly, employers must assess their current workforce and make a realistic prediction about who is likely to stay or leave in the next 6-12 months. Once you have a figure in mind, you can begin to look at how best to fill it. Could you train people already in your workforce? Can handovers begin to take place with current staff, so that you have plenty of time to prepare for their future absence? What is your budget for filling this gap? Implementing a strong staff retention plan will also help and makes good business sense regardless. By considering how best to retain talent, employers might find that some EU workers choose to remain in the UK post-Brexit and will also ensure that other workers are less likely to look elsewhere. Employee benefits, flexible working, staff morale and job satisfaction are all key elements of strong retention policies and will stand businesses in good stead during the challenging years to come.
Inevitably, an element of hiring will have to take place, but it is worth considering avenues outside of those you would usually approach. For example, if you typically only hire graduates, think about the older end of the workforce and the benefits of taking on an employee with more experience. Similarly, if you would usually ask for a number of years' experience, consider the benefits of hiring a school-leaver and whether you can play a part in nurturing homegrown talent. This type of candidate can be shaped to fit your company and its unique needs, and it allows business leaders to give back by investing in the next generation of workers.
Finally, it is important to remember that Brexit only relates to EU workers and there is a global talent pool out there, ready to be snapped up. A recently published Government-commissioned report from the Migration Advisory Committee has advised that the current cap on the number of high-skilled migrants coming to the UK should be scrapped, subjecting EU workers to the same visa rules as other migrants. This may well open up the non-EU talent pool a little wider, so it is worthwhile for business leaders to consider whether candidates from other countries could bring benefits to their companies and fill vacancies that would otherwise be left empty.
Each of these measures will not only help big businesses - and their smaller counterparts - to negotiate the challenging times of Brexit, but they are also best practices when it comes to being a successful and appealing employer. Those who are waiting for May to act decisively could be waiting a while, and given her own party do not back her I doubt that EU leaders will cave to her demands. Employers who show leadership and forward-planning will be best placed to survive and thrive during the coming months and years.

Whether they're looking for interim talent to help get day-to-day IT infrastructure management tasks done or highly skilled experts to tackle more challenging projects, there are many good reasons why companies choose to hire an Information Technology contractor. But how do you separate out the "we should hire a contractor" situations from the "we need to recruit someone to join our staff" situations? You take a close look at exactly what you need, when you need it, and how long you need it for.
Get someone on board very quickly. An experienced contractor often needs less ramp-up time than a permanent hire. Also, when you work with an Information Technology contractor service provider like Coyote Creek, time involved with the recruiting, qualifying, screening and interview processes are greatly minimized.
Complete projects that require specific skills that you don't have in-house. Unless your need for those skills will be on-going, hiring a contractor can be the most cost-effective way to get critical projects completed in a timely manner.
Get a fresh perspective. If your in-house team has been mulling over the same challenge for a while, it can be helpful to bring in someone from the outside that has experiences from a variety of other organizations. New talent brings new ideas.
Get an objective, unbiased opinion. Hiring a contractor can be ideal when you need to have an unbiased review or assessment done from a technical or process point of view. This is particularly true if there are investments required for products or services as an outcome of the assessment. Having a neutral third party opinion can save you money.
Use project funds versus headcount budget to get the work done. In some organizations, the budget for head count is more tightly managed than the project budget. If you have work to be done but no money for head count, you may be able to hire a contractor using your project funds. Some service providers, like Coyote Creek, provide both project based and contract services and can provide either type of engagement for clients.
Back-fill for an absent team member for a period of time. Use contractors to fill in for extended illnesses, maternity leaves, sabbaticals and vacations.
Back-fill for a team member who is working on a special project. Oftentimes contractors are hired to handle day-to-day maintenance tasks, freeing up your full-time staff members to complete special project work. This can also be a helpful to maintain the staff you have, giving them a break from their day-to-day tasks, keeping them motivated and happy in their operationally-focused jobs.
Once you determine which functions and skill sets you must have in house, it often makes the most sense to leverage experienced external resources such as contractors to handle the rest. Need help figuring it all out? Give us a call. Our Contract Services team can recruit, screen and manage the high-quality IT talent you need.
