The Pinball Arcade: Gottlieb EM Table Pack Review
Elliott Osange May 27, 2018
When the Nintendo Switch launched a year ago, a lot of people saw potential for what the little machine might do. There were party game creators, RPG porters and a bunch of homebrewers just salivating at the idea of a new portable that could finally retire the PSP. But, inexplicably, a bunch of people said "Yea, can't wait to play pinball on that." While I'm not complaining, it feels like a head scratcher: pinball was generally considered dead, killed by the incoming waves of video games that replaced the archaic, physics-based entertainment. Yet here we are, a year on in, and we already have top competition from the fanciful tables of Zen Studios, the classic entertainment of Stern and, now, Farsight Studios brings a massive collection of names with The Pinball Arcade.
The Pinball Arcade did, originally, release a bit back, but had to be removed from sale due to some licensing issues that, sadly, were not resolved in Farsight's favor. It's a shame to not have some classic tables available (especially the tables from Williams), but at least there are still plenty of others to take a look at. While Zen does a lot of the glitz in terms of new ideas and gimmicks, Pinball Arcade has the potential to tap into the classics market, similar to what Stern did but in an expanded scope. Only time will tell how successful that'll be.
Naturally, there's a lot to unpack here, but I'll leave players to see how they feel about the very true-to-form designs, the overly simplistic but not unwelcome menus and the too-spot-on cover of Pinball Wizard that plays over the title screen. Instead, I'll be diving right into the DLC, of which is there is a ton. You see, actually having all the pinball tables baked into a single vessel would be an insanely expensive thing, potentially, so every pinball game needs to have multiple DLCs out the gate. The Pinball Arcade is no exception, though I have to hand them credit: these DLC packs are at least intriguing. The first that we'll explore is the Gottlieb EM pack. Gottlieb was one of the granddaddies of midway entertainment, with some pinball designs that predate the second world war. Nearly all of the ones in this pack come from the 60s and 70s and, as such, have some improvements over the oldschool variations but are distinctly still dated.
Big Shot is certainly an interesting table, as it's designed for two players to essentially compete against each other to see who can score more in a single round. Created in the style and spirit of a billiards table, all of the points are lined up along the sides with an 8-ball drop in the center of the table to symbolize when your run ends (along with the normal drop at the bottom). This table is credited as being one for professionals and collectors, and it's easy to see why. Many of the tables in Gottlieb are quite unforgiving, but Big Shot is one of the hardest. Due to the angle of the table and the bumpers, everything is very loose, flighty and bounces like crazy. The right and left lanes are open to dead drops at a moments notice, and you'll find velocity builds quickly if your odds are poor. Almost all chances to score points are in the upper register, which means needing to line up the shot, nail it and use minimal table bumping to try and keep things going.
Visually, it's a gorgeous table, full of color and lights, and it really helps capture the idea of the billiards kings that played in the 70s. Conceptually, having folk who loved to compete in pool transfer the action onto a pinball table is sound, and I actually would have loved to see people play at this table back in the day.
Centigrade 37 is a mostly enjoyable table, from the classic comic book artwork to the gimmick of filling up a thermometer to unlock specials. Hailing from the later 70s, Gottlieb had learned a few tricks with this table to help keep people engaged. Though we weren't yet at the level to have incredibly flashy visuals and tricks to grab your eye, there's a lot going on here in terms of lights, flashes and changes. A multi-slotted right lane had changing lights that showed a bit of luck in terms of maximizing your point score. The triple set at the top register that you could only hit from launch was a huge point get and helped people learn to finesse their plunger game. And the flippers are a decent length to allow for fewer cheap drops (though the one-time side bumper idea hadn't let been brought to life).
But Centigrade 37 is also a shift in terms of points and high scores. You have to get a LOT to fill up that thermometer, and it feels less "I gotta get those points!" and "Urgh, do I have to get these points?" You run out of steam quickly because there's less variety here than you would imagine for what you need to do. Targets fall, bumpers bounce and you keep arcing into the top area to get more points from the waterfall descent on the right. In the end, while there's nothing inherently bad with Centigrade 37, this might be more of a collector's item than a playable situation.
Central Park, interestingly, is the oldest table in the pack (1966) and has some of the most retro appeal of all the tables available here (and really on any pinball game I've played so far). Emulating what people felt was the atmosphere of the times, the table is incredibly colorful, with vivid pictures of a man and his trained money, carousing in lush greenery and bright clothing. With a simple score table and even simpler bumpers, the big incentive for the table is that the monkey will ring a bell every one hundred points. That's not a typo: that's actually a feature that's also a feat. You see, most of the bumpers are somewhere in the ten point category, with smaller targets being worth up to thirty points and some being worth a single point. The first time that monkey rings the bell it's because you frigging worked for it, and that's almost impressive.
After that first bell ring, the numbers will start to multiply, with the ten point bumpers gradually increasing in value and things getting a bit easier in certain aspects. The table then proves that it's got teeth, with these stubby but not ineffective flippers and a massive, gated drop window. The monkey and his man may be smiling, but this is not a good time affair. You gotta be fast and accurate or you lose that ball in a hot second. While later tables will allow you to hold the ball with the flippers to line up the shot, nine out of ten times you'll come in way too hot for these shorter flippers to contain. As a result, Central Park is easily one of the most exciting and engaging tables in the pack, and a fantastic snapshot of the past.
Comparatively, El Dorado is a severe and sad step down as the next table in the pack, despite coming nearly a full decade later. Born in 1977, there's so much that has potential for El Dorado: a cool desert/cowboy motif, some great target placement and one of the earliest examples of double flipper sets that I could find. The design and layout is pretty, and it helped to inspire and give shape to a future table (Cities of Gold, 1984). It's one of those things where you could see what could come from the table, when it finally gets there. But the problem is that the table was designed in 1977, and, as such, there are certain limitations for the game.
For example, the bottom half of the screen is basically barren. Sure, there are some bumpers and death lanes on either side, but the main area of the table is just this large, blank canvas that almost disturbs the eye with the cowboy that they splashed across it. Instead of being engaging, it's distracting and you lose track of the ball very quickly on a table where falling out can be an instantaneous thing. Additionally, the secondary flippers, instead of being optional and useful for pros, are 100% necessary to hit the top register for points, which makes it feel more like a bisected table that's been hastily glued together. The whole thing just screams for needing some kind of extra flair to it that they couldn't possibly fathom back in the 70s. Had they the technology to bake in some extra goodies, like moving targets, it would have been perfect. Instead, it's just an almost awkward situation.
Lastly, Jack's Open. This is a simple and clean table that has a great execution and division of chores. Given the motif of trying to make poker hands through target shots, this is a table that rewards persistence and greatly rewards accuracy. If you're able to actually strike the necessary cards for making high point hands (starting with a pair of Jacks and ending with a Royal Flush), you'll catapult to the top of the high score list in no time. If you just manage to hit all the targets in any sort of order, you'll still do well, just not as well, because it's a waste of time. The four lanes at the top represent the four suits and the bonus for lighting them all is pretty decent, but it then resets your hand progress. The flipper length is decent for cradling, and the accuracy is tight enough that even someone who's a bit daft (like me) can still get decent targeting. All in all, this table might be short on review words, but that's because it's solid, enjoyable and gets the job done.
You've got some sound effects for the Gottlieb tables, but there's no ambient music, no screaming soundtrack. It's just you and these classic tables, so please weight that in mind when you decide to pick it up. Still, at five tables, it's a pretty decent value, so longtime fans of Pinball should consider it when and if they download the Pinball Arcade title.

January 29, 2005 SoftwareDev
Open Source Hall of Fame
There's an abundance of open-source code out there. Thanks to the internet and the flourishing of open-source, it's possible to explore the programs that power some of the world's most popular applications.
A big problem with software education is that people spend most of their time looking at toy solutions to toy problems. Idealised teller machines and leap year calculations can only take you so far. Real-world software is rarely, if ever, covered.
Compare this with a related field: building architecture. Aspiring building architects (who sometimes like to refer to themselves as "real" architects) are force-fed a substantial diet of buildings and structures. They get to know the great architectures of the world and the architects that made them. By the time they are finished studying, they can compare building X with building Y, and take inspiration from both.
Now, this has not always been possible with software. To a certain extent, open-source software has always been around. But for a long time, it was impossible to get hold of any serious code. As Richard Gabriel and Ron Goldman – advocates of "software as literature" explained:
The effect of ownership imperatives has caused there to be no body of software as literature. It is as if all writers had their own private companies and only people in the Melville company could read "Moby-Dick" and only those in Hemingway's could read "The Sun Also Rises." Can you imagine developing a rich literature under these circumstances? Under such conditions, there could be neither a curriculum in literature nor a way of teaching writing. And we expect people to learn to program in this exact context?
To bring about the change, it took fresh views on the economic benefits of open-source in certain contexts, combined with the internet to make it all accessible to the masses. SourceForge currently has 94,671 registered projects. So make the ridiculously conservative assumptions that no other projects exist and that only 1 percent of those projects are serious. That leave 946 serious projects to be mined and explored for educational purposes.
It's not just the code that's exposed, but also the process. Since most open-source hosts contain version control repositories, it is possible to track project evolution. Furthermore, it can be tracked against discussions in mailing lists, project weblogs, and other work artifacts.
What we need is an Open Source Hall of Fame, like the (sadly unmaintained) Interface Hall of Fame which was a source of entertainment and education to many HCI people in the late 1990s. It would contain galleries of quality code and cover critical moments in the evolution of projects. Information like this would complement design patterns and further their development.

The Voxel - Adaptive Reuse of the Autograph Playhouse
Commercial, Cultural, Award Winning
Like many historic movie theaters in Baltimore, the Autograph Playhouse was left mainly forgotten after it closed in 1985 until a performing arts software company, Figure 53, stepped in to give it new life in 2015. After extensive renovations, the theater offers a dynamic transformation that communicates its two missions: by day, it is the teaching center and research lab for Figure 53; by night, it is a theater, incubator, and resource for performing artists.
Originally built in 1946 as the 800-seat Homewood Theatre, the building evolved through multiple renovations as an art house and single-screen movie theater before serving as a church and space for various performance groups. When purchased in 2015, the building required substantial upgrades to function as a modern performing arts theater. Prominently located within the Old Goucher Historic District, historic tax credits were not pursued both due to lack of consideration as a contributing property and to allow for fewer limitations on the renovations. The re-envisioned facility offers a promising example of how forgotten historic structures in our City can be thoughtfully and economically repurposed to serve new and evolving roles for their communities.
Dubbed "The Voxel," the new venue is intentionally conceived as a flexible and changeable space that is informed by community use. In computer graphics, a voxel is a three-dimensional pixel that is rendered in a grid in relation to other voxels. Similarly, the building design is a collection of cubic volumes in a meaningful dialogue rendered by the users with the tools of theater performance. The former marquee has been removed to allow for a new expression that incorporates a vertical glass light monitor shroud behind a suspended metal mesh screen. During the day, the mesh façade disappears and lets the authentic brick be visible. At night, light is projected onto the façade with dynamic control for varied rendering of color, motion, and sound using software developed by Figure 53. The entrance vestibule is articulated as a portal that is illuminated by cove light fixtures with color control in sync with the façade and light monitor.
Within the transformed building, the modifications are intentionally restrained to allow for flexibility of use. The entry level offers open space for pre-function or small performance, with new restrooms incorporated below the existing mezzanine. Down a half-level a black-box theater supports larger performances and events. A continuous pipe grid extends above both spaces for integration of lighting, speakers, and curtains as appropriate for each space use and configuration. Stage cues have been applied to interior surfaces tying together the existing and new. Energy-efficient building systems, a new roof, and new windows all support the building's renewed operations.

Terrifying Moment Tonight: Woman At Cubs-Pirates Game Got Drilled In The Head By A Foul Ball
by Chris Wedge April 20, 2015
It's easy to forget sometimes, but being in attendance at a baseball game can be rather dangerous, even when it doesn't seem like it. Tonight there was a very scary situation in the MLB in Pittsburgh, as a woman sitting behind home plate was drilled in the head by a foul ball during the Pirates-Cubs game.
There's actually a net behind home plate in all parks, but it appears that this woman was unfortunately too close to the net while standing, and it gave just enough for her to get hit hard:

A scary moment here in the 2nd as a fan is hit with a foul ball. Our thoughts and prayers are with her tonight. — Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) April 21, 2015

The game was delayed for over twenty minutes as she was taken away from the field on a stretcher. There has been no official word on her condition, although a friend next to her did give a positive sign:
Woman hit in head with Castro's foul ball taken from field. Appears to be conscious. Friend next to her gives thumbs up to crowd.

We really hope that she is okay.

"A picture is worth a thousand words". We are all familiar with this expression. It especially applies when trying to explain the insight obtained from the analysis of increasingly large datasets. Data visualization plays an essential role in the representation of both small and large-scale data. One of the key skills of a data scientist is the ability to tell a compelling story, visualizing data and findings in an approachable and stimulating way.
Once you've identified a big data issue to analyse, how do you collect, store, organise and visualise your data using Python? In this course, you will experience various data genres and management tools appropriate for each in Python.
Learning how to leverage Python libraries to visualize data will also enable you to extract information, better understand the data, and make more effective decisions. This course teaches participants how to take data that at first glance has little meaning and present that data in a form that makes sense to people.
• Learn how to read, analyse and write data using Python.
• Perform exploratory data analysis with Python libraries including Numpy, Pandas.
• Create data visualisations with Python libraries such as Matplotlib, Plotly.

HomeMilitary AviationExclusive: What nobody else will tell you about the U.S. F-22 stealth fighters deployed near Iran
Exclusive: What nobody else will tell you about the U.S. F-22 stealth fighters deployed near Iran
April 30, 2012 Military Aviation
Update May 2, 2012 16.05 GMT
The news that multiple F-22 stealth fighters were deployed "near Iran" has already been reported by the most important media outlets all around the world.
However, nobody has been able to provide some important details that could be useful to better understand the scope of this overseas deployment: when did the Raptors deploy? How many aircraft were deployed? Where?
And, above all, are those plane capable to perform strike missions in addition to the standard air-to-air sorties?
Thanks to the information provided by several sources, The Aviationist is able to fill the gaps, provide a more accurate view of the deployment and debunk some myths that fueled the media hype.
The six F-22 Raptors currently at Al Dhafra, UAE, belong to the 49th Fighter Wing, based at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. They flew as "Mazda 91" to Moron, Spain, on Apr. 17 and departed again for their final destination on Apr. 20.
Since they spent some 4 days in Spain, during their stay, the stealthy planes were photographed by several local spotters that were able to provide the exact list of all the examples involved in the deployment:
#04-4078, #04-4081, #05-4093, #05-4094, #05-4098, #05-4099.
If they were not willing to let the world know of such deployment they would not make a stopover in Spain, during daylight.
They are all Block 3.0 (or Block 30) examples meaning that neither of them has received the latest upgrade (Block 3.1) that has brought the capability to find and engage ground targets using the Synthetic Aperture Radar mapping and eight GBU-39 SDBs (Small Diameter Bombs) to the troubled stealthy fighter.
Therefore they are hardly involved in any build-up process in the region, since their role in case of war on Iran would be limited to the air-to-air arena: mainly fighter sweep (missions with the aim to seek out and destroy enemy aircraft prior to the arrival of the strike package), HVAA (High Value Air Asset) escort and DCA (Defensive Counter Air).

Considered the limited effectiveness of the Iranian Air Force, it is much more likely that the F-22s involved in any kind of attack on Iran would be those of the 3rd Fighter Wing, based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, in Alaska, that was the first U.S. Air Force unit to receive the Block 3.1 planes and has already started training in the air-to-surface role.
Furthermore, the deployment is among those scheduled several month in advance and this is not the first time the F-22 deploys in the United Arab Emirates. In November 2009, some 1st Fighter Wing's Raptors from Langley AFB, flew to Al Dhafra, to train with the French Air Force Rafales and the RAF Typhoons during exercise ATLC 2009. The episode is quite famous because in late December of the same year the French Ministry of Defense released the captures taken by the Rafale's OSF (Optronique Secteur Frontal) showing an F-22 in aerial combat. In fact, although the U.S. Air Force pilots told that their plane was undefeated during the exercise, the French were killed once in six 1 vs 1 WVR (Within Visual Range) engagements versus the F-22 (the other 5 ended with a "draw") and one Raptor was claimed as killed by a UAE Mirage 2000 during a mock engagement.
Here's the famous capture released at the time and published for the first time by Air & Cosmos magazine.

Andyj says:
Plenty of the "My planes bigger than yours. ner ner!" here.
There are too many tales of "kills" against the F22 on dogfights. The Amraam rocket motor has been found unwilling to perform when very cold which leaves the high, fast and stealthy F22 without any teeth in its home ground.
Add on it's air supply suffocating the pilots and the G suits failing I'm not surprised they are relegated to ground attack against Iran. I must tell you when in ground attack mode they are low flying, bristling, non-stealthy man-pad meat.
Voice_of_Reason says:
"in fact, the French were killed once…" is NOT a fact. It is an assertion. The French are known for claiming everything and anything that is even close as a "kill".
Until your "fact" has some EVIDENCE, it only a boast.

"Mirage 2000 got a kill on F-22" No it didn't get a kill I reviewed the image, The line barely clipped the wing and even if it got a "kill" it was certainly lucky that the F-22 was doing a turn like that because if its banking like that then it goes into post stall maneuvering and bleeds its energy. Also its just a picture through the OSF… The picture I am showing is a Mirage 2000 kill on a Eurofighter Typhoon…

08/22/2018 – We get a very unique adoption request.
I work for a TV show that helps families adopt and care for animals. We have an episode scheduled for the last week of August and would like to feature a dog from your shelter! The family is looking for a doodle, about 8 months – 2 years, hypoallergenic, and is good with children. Do you have any available? I see that you have a lot of wonderful dogs! They're mostly looking for a hypoallergenic dog to give a happy home to.
The family lives in South Orange, NJ. We would pay for the dog to be flown out to meet the family and will give a donation to your shelter. We would make travel arrangements for the dog to make it safely to the family.
We can give you more details regarding this. Please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in and I can give you more information. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you!
8/23/2018 – my response – maybe, but I need to know more about you and the family.
Thank you for your inquiry. I appreciate your work in helping shelter pets find homes.
I would like to hear more. I have quite a few hypoallergenic dogs such as you described.
There are a couple of requirements we would have. I would need full information on the family and be able to do a reference screening on this family just as we would with any family adopting a dog. I am assuming you've done some screening already of the home. I can better guide and suggest which dog is their best match if I know who I'm matching.
The family will need to sign our adoption contract. A big part of our adoption contract is the dog comes back to us if the match does not work out or if lives change – and this applies to any time in the dog's life.
I do not fly dogs. There are too many unknowns in flying dogs that are dangerous for the dog. Could we negotiate that one of our staff could drive the dog to New Jersey?
Please let me know which show you represent. I would like to research your previous matches and see how we could best partner with you.
If you think we can work together, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you.
8/24/2018 – Jonathan tells me no.
Thank you for your reply. I completely understand you not being comfortable flying dogs out. Airlines can barely keep track of luggage. This is a rare case for our show. We had a couple of set backs so we scrambling!
Unfortunately, we do have a time restriction and our budget doesn't give us space for having a pup be driven out.
Thank you for all your hard work! And we will keep you in mind if anything comes up.
So I figured I would not hear from Jonathan again but I did send him a note with possible financial arrangements for ground transport and how the money for ground compared to air.

Re: new sprites and ide.. Cmbtsuit released.
what is this white blob on his head? and two white dots at the right edge?
edit. made the new sectoid statused as work in progress, cos i forgot to make the inventory corpse screen and hands needs to get fixed a bit and eyes turned to darker color.
i have something in mind, but meanwhile i tried making something experimental sprites... note this is just a test.
ingame sprites still needs work, but not much... torso,head,hands are easily made, only the walking animation causes some hefty work. but design is all n all finished for this one.
i worried about that frame boundary also too first, but it should fit just right into frame ...any larger would mess it up.
I think the hands might be a little too far apart for holding a weapon - or does the android not use weapons at all? you might just have built-in weapons. what are you planning for it?
and btw, hand that carries weapon will be changed to diffrend one... now it looks like its relaxed, but i will change it into "pointing towards" hand.
That's a sweet looking robot you got there, and I do like the idea of integrated weapons - maybe it could still use grenades - or have some form of grenade launcher/mortar attached to a shoulder or something.

BULLS OF THE WEEK
The Golden State Warriors have had many bullish highs over the past two NBA seasons, including the championship title they won last June, their record-setting unbeaten run of 24 games to start the 2015-16 campaign and what seems like a new record every week. Google search Steph Curry and you'll see the gold standards he's setting with his remarkable three-point shooting and average of 30.7 points per game; not to mention proof positive he's become the league's social media and video Vine darling. Curry and the Warriors are — quite literally — the new Bulls. On Thursday, the Warriors improved to 55-5 on the season, scoring their 44th consecutive home-court victory and tying the Chicago Bulls of 1994-95 and 1995-96 for longest home win streak in NBA history. All eyes will be on the Warriors the next six weeks to see if they can top the Bulls' 1995-96 record of 72 wins. Playing every game at a sellout capacity of 19,596 and an average ticket price of $47.38 US, is there another team in North American professional sport that is giving their season ticket holders and fans such a solid return on their investment? The quick answer is no. Golden State is not only golden in basketball operations under GM Bob Myers and head coach Steve Kerr, they're pressing all the right buttons in business operations under president and chief operating officer Rick Welts and chief marketing officer Chip Bowers. Among the highlights: Their decision to open the gates an hour earlier than usual this season at Oracle Arena so their ticket-buying fans can take photos and video of Curry doing his pre-game thing. Winning is king but that kind of fan-centred decision-making is one reason why the Warriors have climbed up the Forbes charts to sixth place in the NBA at a valuation of $1.9 billion. That's music to the ears of owners Joseph Lacob and Peter Guber, who bought the team for $450 million in 2010. That's an appreciation of 422 per cent, or 70 per cent per annum.
BEARS OF THE WEEK
The Vancouver Canucks have had quite the run on and off the ice this millennium. They announced 474 consecutive sellouts from November of 2002 to October of 2014; all entirely legitimate through the end of the run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2011. During the 15-year span since 2000-01, they made the playoffs 11 times, won their division seven times, earned two Presidents' Trophies, a conference championship and reached Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2011. No Canadian NHL team has achieved that kind of performance in this century. Yet that's what's so jarring about fan response to the lack of activity by the Canucks and general manager Jim Benning at the NHL trade deadline on Monday. It was downright riotous. In what has been a sad season for all seven Canadian-based NHL franchises, nowhere has the drop in the year-over-year record on the ice and secondary ticket pricing, attendance and television viewership off the ice been as pronounced as it has been for the Canucks. And nowhere this week was the disappointment in a team's GM greater than in Vancouver.

Birmingham's Complete Streets
One of Sloss Real Estate's main focuses is to create walkable, connected, sustainable communities. Since its inception, Pepper Place has been equally dedicated to foot traffic and commuter traffic, providing free street and lot parking as well as maintaining and building sidewalks. With the exception of the downtown areas around the University of Alabama–Birmingham and the hospital, there hasn't been a concerted effort by the city to expand the vision of walkability across the metro area. Until now.
Birmingham will soon see major changes to its roadways throughout the entire city — more dedicated bike lanes, improved pedestrian sidewalks, and enhanced equity for all users — after the Birmingham City Council unanimously approved an ordinance, which adds a "Complete Streets Policy" to the city code.
According to the Planning, Engineering and Permits Department, "Birmingham's vision for its transportation system also supports community efforts to improve the built and natural environments and achieve better public health and fitness…[The Complete Streets Policy] involves intentionally transparent process as well as concentrating investments in ways that yield the greatest good, not only from a transportation standpoint but also for the overall quality of life."
According to Smart Growth America, a national firm that advocates for smart neighborhood design, Birmingham has an opportunity to improve the city's transportation infrastructure with the passage of the ordinance.
"There is no singular design prescription for Complete Streets; each one is unique and responds to its community context," the website reads. "A complete street may include sidewalks, bike lanes (or wide paved shoulders), special bus lanes, comfortable and accessible public transportation stops, frequent and safe crossing opportunities, median islands, accessible pedestrian signals, curb extensions, narrower travel lanes, roundabouts, and more."
After the passage of the ordinance, Councilor Darrell O'Quinn lauded the moment as "historic" and said the new policy will change the way people experience the city.
"Everyone that spoke pointed out why this will be a historic moment for Birmingham. I don't know if most folks will realize it now, but I hope in 15 or 20 years from now people can look back and see we turned a corner here," O'Quinn said. "Great neighborhoods are built on great relationships. Quite often in our neighborhoods, sidewalks are where that happens…As part of this, the city is developing a priority network, where we really want these type of streets to be implemented. We can't do that on every street and it's not going to be applied uniformly to every street. But there will be specific corridors that have these type streets."
Often, transportation can be a major impediment for someone being able to hold a steady job, therefore continuing a cycle of poverty. Kathryn Doornbos, the executive director of Redemptive Cycles, a nonprofit that helps low-income residents have access to bikes, said she fully supports the new ordinance.
Carolyn Buck, a representative with the Freshwater Land Trust, said the new ordinance with help makes the Red Rock Trail system accessible to all 99 neighborhoods in Birmingham.
"Outdoor exercise is good for physical and mental health," Buck said. "The Center for Disease Control granted us the Red Rock Trail master plan. It plans for parks, trails, and sidewalks that connect every community here. We want every citizen to have access to green space and can access them without the need of a vehicle. It makes outdoor recreation equitable to everyone. In order for our Red Rock Trail system to have an impact, it's vital that people can access these points. The complete street ordinance will allow that. It will help us connect all 99 neighborhoods together."

Making it Happen
Prevailing opinion across our country is that "Sarkar toh kuch nahi karti" (the government does nothing). More than seven decades of independence later, as a country we still mistrust the government and expect very little to nothing from the "system". While there are valid reasons for this disillusionment, this general sense of apathy prevents us from noticing, let alone appreciating, when the same system actually delivers.
On Good Governance Day, the Government of India released the Citizen Centric Governance Sector Ranking for the year 2021. Haryana topped this list. In the normal course of events this would come as a surprise.

Prevailing opinion across our country is that "Sarkar toh kuch nahi karti" (the government does nothing). More than seven decades of independence later, as a country we still mistrust the government and expect very little to nothing from the "system". While there are valid reasons for this disillusionment, this general sense of apathy prevents us from noticing, let alone appreciating, when the same system actually delivers.On Good Governance Day, the Government of India released the Citizen Centric Governance Sector Ranking for the year 2021. Haryana topped this list. In the normal course of events this would come as a surprise. But look deeper and one will realize that Haryana began sowing the seeds for bold reforms way back in 2017 and therefore this plaudit is truly well deserved. How did this happen?Scheme and service delivery is one of the most common reasons for citizen-government interaction and strife. Through the Antyodaya Saral system, Government of Haryana's transformative public service program, the state has successfully tried to fix precisely this.The Government of Haryana offers more than 600 schemes and services to citizens across more than 35 departments. Unfortunately, over the years, delivery systems had become inefficient and opaque, making the entire experience of dealing with the government a nightmare for citizens. Some specific challenges that citizens in Haryana faced include lack of awareness about schemes/services and eligibility criteria, lack of knowledge about where to apply for which scheme/service given a variety of government touch points, complex application processes and document requirements, and inevitable dependence on middlemen and touts. The situation was no better for government officials. They used to get applications through multiple channels in varying formats, had limited or no visibility on applications under process or pendency, and most of their time used to go in avoidable public dealing.In 2017, Digital Haryana Cell (DHC)—a 4-member committed team from Samagra, a mission-driven governance consulting firm, led by its visionary Founder and CEO Gaurav Goyal—working with the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), conceptualized Antyodaya Saral after extensive discussions. The Chief Minister's vision was to eliminate (or minimize to the extent possible) the root cause of citizen harassment and petty corruption, i.e., the direct interface between citizens and various government departments for scheme and service delivery.Anchored in the CMO, the Digital Haryana Cell worked closely with National Informatics Centre (NIC) Govt of India, NIC Govt of Haryana, officials from 35+ departments and 22 districts to bring all 600+ government schemes and services online to the Antyodaya Saral platform. End-to-end processing of applications in an online, paperless manner and process re-engineering to make procedures simple and minimalistic has completely changed the citizen's experience of availing schemes and services. Today, citizenscan apply for all schemes and services online, track the status of the application online as well as receive proactive SMSs from the government on the status. The state has mandated that all services should be delivered within Right To Service (RTS) timelines, therefore any application that is not processed within that time period is marked as pending. After the application has been processed, citizens also get an IVRS call to share feedback on their experience of using the Saral system. This entire experience is a stark contrast to the time when even information on which government office has to be visited for which scheme/service was hard to find.Antyodaya Saral has also made the lives of government officials easier. Applications now come in from one source in one format ratherthan from multiple sources. Officialscan spend maximum time on processing applications rather than public dealing. There is now visibility at the state, district and departmental level on the status of each and every application at different stages of processing.To ensure equitable access to those who cannot apply through the online platform, the government also revamped or established 117 Saral Kendras, a single physical touchpoint for citizens at District Headquarter, Subdivision and Tehsil levels, and ensured the availability of all schemes and services across 6000+ Common Service Centres (CSCs) in the state. Each Saral Kendra has a standardized citizen-centric layout adhering to 60+ quality parameters such as token system, adequate waiting area, clean washrooms etc. The village-level entrepreneurs running 6,000+ CSCs were also trained on the Antyodaya Saral platform.The impact of this complete revamp of scheme and service delivery in Haryana has been far-reaching. And this can be validated by data. Since December 2018, 150 of the highest footfall schemes and services have witnessed a 15% increase in number of applications; 40 out of these have received 3x applications and 16 have received 2x applications. Out of 4.6 crore applications, 85% have been closed within RTS timelines.The systemic impact of this reform is also evident in data. Out of total scheme and service applications received by the government, 36% now directly come online, without assistance from CSCs or Kendras. In addition, the role of touts has significantly reduced. Online processing has been enabled for 100% of schemes and services, and there is no citizen-government interface required for more than 300 of them. Every month, 5,00,000+ applications are received through the Antyodaya Saral platform, 15 lakh+ update SMSs are sent to citizens, and 4,000+ grievances are disposed, significantly cutting down the public dealing time for officials. Based on more than 1 crore citizen feedback calls, Saral has received a 4.3 on 5 average rating, highlighting high levels of citizen satisfaction.When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Saral enabled services like movement pass and reopening of industrial establishments within a day, with verifiable QR Code and real-time updates to citizens. It is now also being leveraged by the RTS Commission to penalize non-performing officials. In essence, the investment made by the state government in this critical reform in the past, helped it navigate an unplanned eventuality like Covid better and also leverage the system to further institutionalize accountability. Building on a strong foundation, a dedicated Saral Cell comprising NIC officials, manages this mammoth system today. Their motivation to further strengthen it received a fillip when Antyodaya Saral won an award from the President of India for "Excellence in Digital Governance".The story of Antyodaya Saral is a story of multiple actors—the state government, district and block administrations, the private sector, consulting and technology professionals—coming together to translate a bold vision for change into reality. They have made-it-happen. They have proved that it can be done, The result is a system which has tangibly improved the quality of life of citizens and benefits the poorest of the poor.The author is the chairman, Editorial Board of Lokmat Media and former member of Rajya SabhaProfile Author: Anil Swarup has served as the head of the Project Monitoring Group, which is currently under the Prime Minister's Office.

Delray Beach is on fire: those jumping restaurants on Atlantic Avenue, those new condos, that inviting beach and yes, those, soaring home prices. Expected soon: new hotels, a food hall, a mixed-use development of restaurants, shops and hundreds of residences at the old Office Depot headquarters on Congress Avenue.
But instead of exuding confidence, the city commission in the not-so-placid "village by the sea" seems plagued by discord.
Take, for instance, a January newsletter sent out by Mayor Shelly Petrolia. Instead of the usual good news about a ribbon-cutting or new street lights, the mayor lashed out at all four of her fellow commissioners, by name, for taking positions she didn't like on recent issues.
She was especially critical of two of the commissioners, Bill Bathurst and Shirley Johnson. And now, in a remarkable breach of decorum, she is actively seeking their ouster by backing opponents of theirs in the coming March 17 election.
People who follow Delray Beach politics cannot remember another time when a mayor has worked so publicly to defeat commission colleagues.
That's the undercurrent running through the races for two commission seats in the March 17 election. Run-of-the-mill questions that the city commission has faced, such as adding an exit to a busy strip mall or shifting the location of valet stands on Atlantic Avenue, have been blown up into campaign issues of operatic proportions not to solve the problems so much as to inflame anger at alleged bad guys.
This brand of politics is unworthy of this town's citizens.
In District 2, Bathurst is seeking reelection against three challengers: Debra Tendrich, Jennifer Jones and Juli Casale. Jones did not interview with The Post Editorial Board.
Tendrich, 33, is the founder and CEO of Eat Better Live Better, a nonprofit which, she says, has worked with 700 kids in Delray, through which she has become familiar with the obstacles besetting the city's poorer neighborhoods.
Casale, 51, is a 15-year resident of Delray and a businesswoman who became an activist when successfully leading a fight to block multi-family housing units slated for her neighborhood of single-family homes in the northwest corner of the city. Although supported by Petrolia, Casale sees herself as a people's candidate: "99% of my donations come from residents," she said -- deriding the much-better funded Bathurst as accepting hefty donations from developers and others who bring matters before the commission.
Bathurst, 59, a real estate agent, says that any suggestion of a connection between his commission votes and the contributions he receives is "flatly false."
Bathurst is passionate about historic preservation -- appropriately, as his family roots in Delray reach back to the 1930s. As a commissioner for two years, Bathurst has supported development that encourages walkability and a more diverse economy. In his decision-making, he says he gives great weight to the opinions of advisory boards and seeks to bring civility to the dais.
In District 4, Shirley Johnson, seeking a second term, is challenged by community activist and public school teacher Angela Burns and real estate broker Christopher Davey.
Burns, 63, is a longtime Delray resident who displays a close knowledge of the west-of-Swinton neighborhoods that are most identified with this commission seat.
Davey, 54, is a Petrolia ally who filed to run just before the deadline. He hammered Johnson for supporting BH3, the West Atlantic Avenue developer that is teetering on default, and claiming that Johnson voted last year to award the development rights to BH3 "for just $10" a gross oversimplification of a multi-faceted agreement and an unfair slap at his opponent.
Johnson, 73, the commission's only minority member, is a retired contract analyst for IBM. A cool head on the commission, she prides herself on being "independent." She stirred up political opposition in her district by voting, in 2018, to bring the formerly independent CRA under the wing of the city commission, arguing that the CRA, while busy revitalizing the downtown, had ignored "the most blighted and slum-ridden areas of our city." It was a gutsy, and necessary call.
Voters should reject the politics of negativity and return Bill Bathurst and Shirley Johnson to the Delray Beach City Commission.

The conditions regarding the debate, which Zelensky has previously voiced, remain in force.
Political scientist and Ukrainian election frontrunner Volodymyr Zelensky's headquarters speaker Dmytro Razumkov has said the debate between presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelensky and incumbent President Petro Poroshenko will be held on April 19.

At the same time, he added the conditions regarding the debate, which Zelensky had previously voiced, remain in force.
"But the discussion between candidates should return to the level of candidates. It is hard for me to say what they will come to, because I'm definitely not a presidential candidate," Razumkov said.

Oliver York Wins the Junior X30 LGM Championship
Whilton Mill, UK
Dry / Cloudy
Oliver York has taken the LGM X30 UK Tour Championship with a round to spare in the Junior X30 class, after a 2nd place finish at Whilton Mill, rounding off a dominant season!
Coles Racing pair of Oliver York and Bhavmeet Singh took the trip to Whilton Mill for the eigth round of the Little Green Man Series ran X30 UK Tour.
York had the chance to put the title beyond reach at this race by outscoring his nearest rivals.
The opening heat saw York start 21st and Singh start 25th. Great race pace allowed York to carve his way through the field, setting the fastest lap on his was to gaining fourteen positions - crossing the line in 7th position.
Singh was not as a fortunate, as a difficult race saw him knocked back that he was unable to recover from - finishing in 26th position.
The second heat for York was another strong drive through the pack. Going off from 15th on the grid, York made quick work of the drivers around him to vault himself up to 6th by half distance. Into the final lap he made a bold move stick, climbing two further places and finishing the race in 4th.
Singh's second race was a luckless one. After a solid start from 16th on the grid, he was shuffled down the pack after a lunge from a rival driver - forcing him off the track. He managed to recover, but only to 27th position at the flag.
York's final heat involved him starting from 8th on the grid. Two brilliant laps at the start of the race vaulted him up to 2nd position in the race. He reeled in the race leader but was unable to make a move stick - finishing his heat in 2nd position and giving himself pole position for the final.
Singh experienced another luckless final heat, meaning he would have to come through the B Final. Starting from 16th on the grid, he made steady progress through the field, gaining four positions in total to finish in 12th position.
Sadly he wouldn't qualify for the A Final, but the experience will hold him in good sted for the final round at PF International.
Going off pole position in the final, York had the title in his sights! An early scrap for the lead with a rival driver saw the lead change back and forth multiple times until lap 10 when York made the move stick and pulled a gap.
As the race neared the conclusion, rival driver Callum Bradshaw caught York and made a move for the lead - York knowing his championship position didn't fight him, instead he stuck to his rear bumper for the final laps - finishing 0.2s behind in 2nd position, therefore taking the LGM X30 Junior title with a round to spare!
Our Rotax drivers will be aiming to add to York's title success next weekend at the PF International Circuit on the 23-25 September . Josh White is leading the Rotax Max standings, with Josh Skelton holding third overall with dropped scores taken into account.
Jonny Edgar will be pushing for the Vice-Champion position in Minimax, whilst Tyler Chesterton will aim to double up on his Shenington victory!
