The Top 10 Steps to Meet Women
By: Michael Allen
The Ten Commandments To Picking Up Chicks
1. The direct approach only works with women who are alone. It is risky, as it requires the woman to find you immediately attractive. This approach would be a sincere compliment, coupled with a backhanded-compliment: "You're a beautiful woman, but what's really rare is beauty, positive outlook and a great personality. You've got out two out of three so far." Say it with a smile and be half-joking.
Follow these commandments
2. The indirect approach should be used if a woman is with a friend, in a group or alone: "Are you girls best friends, because you seem really similar in the way you smile?" or "Do you think it's right for a guy to break up with a girl via text message?"
3. Whether you are using the direct or indirect approach, you must create a false time constraint so that the girl knows that you will not be talking to her very long, you're not one of those people who is going to sit down forever and you are a busy guy.
4. When you are talking to a woman, make sure that she has you locked into the conversation, not the other way around. For example, if she is leaning against a wall and you're talking to her, then she is "locked in." You need to turn that around, subtly, so that you are the one with your back against the wall, she must appear to have you locked in.
5. In the indirect approach, you must let the girl know that you have value. A rule of thumb is women have replicate value (they can have sex anytime), but they want survival value. Men have survival value (making money, taking care of women), but want a woman with replicate value (attractive). You need to create your value in her mind.
6. Three types of value that you need to have in a woman's mind are: 1. You are a leader of men (or you are very close to a leader of men). 2. You are pre-selected by other women. 3. You are a protector of women, children and family.
7. Bring a female friend wing woman with you to a club or bar. This immediately gives you the value of being pre-selected by another woman (see #6) in the eyes of the women at the club. They are thinking, "If she likes him, then he must have something going on."
8. You must disqualify yourself as potential suitor. It is the best way to get her to lower her "bitch shield" that she uses against guys all day. Say this with a smile: "I would go for a girl like you if we weren't so much alike, we'd be fighting all the time."
9. You must "neg" her with cute half-compliments: "I like how you smile, it's so cute how your nose crinkles up like that." These are playful, not insulting, remarks that bring her off the pedestal and down to earth. It shows that you are her equal.
10. In the indirect approach, do not show that you are interested in her, until she has shown that she is interested in you first. This includes: touching you, lots of eye contact, asking you questions, doing the "horse laugh" where she bares her teeth… all non-verbal flirts. Also, if she moves closer to you, proximity is an indicator of interest.

Like every genealogist I know, there's nothing quite like spending time walking through a cemetery. In fact, you may enjoy an earlier blog post I wrote about the importance of actually walking through a cemetery if you possibly can.
How Many Symbols Have You Seen in Cemeteries?
Weeping willow, woman and child. Inscription "May We Meet Again"
If you have some time, I think it would make for a fascinating scrapbook page or Pinterest board to include all of the cemetery symbols that you've found over the course of your research. While I'm truly keen on saving family stories, I'm equally as enthralled with cemetery photos.
How about you? Leave a comment and share the most unusual symbol you've seen.
Well I have to admit you've got me on this one. I haven't ever heard anything about tombstone colors having different meanings. If you ever track it down, I'd love to hear more about it!

The English Foxhound is supposed to have been developed from the Bloodhound and the Greyhound. for over three centuries, English sporting gentry have ridden on horseback after Foxhounds and have develped a beautiful and uniform breed of dog.
Some of the finest Foxhounds obtainable in England were brought to the United States where a breed of keener scent, better searching qualities and more melodious voice have been developed.
English Foxhounds are slightly larger and may be a litter finer in appearance than the American Foxhound. American Foxhounds usually hunt individually or in pairs, while English Foxhounds nearly always hunt in packs.

The Friends of Roath Park group, which has been supporting the park since 2011, has used funding from the supermarket scheme to put up community noticeboards around the park to help keep local residents and visitors informed about what's on.
The funding has enabled the friends to provide more promotional space for local voluntary group initiatives, including assisting in the conservatory, litter cleaning and supporting with the upkeep of the park.
Ruth Evans, Chair of Friends of Roath Park, said: "The new noticeboards have really given a new lease of life to the appearance and community spirit of the park.
Tesco teamed up with charity Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help funding initiative, which sees grants raised from carrier bag sales being awarded to thousands of local community projects every year.
Rhodri Evans, Tesco's communications manager for Wales, said: "The funding for Roath Park is a great example of how Bags of Help can bring communities together and make a positive difference to the local environment. We know how popular the park is with the residents of Cardiff, so it's no surprise the project was chosen by shoppers in the city for a £4,000 grant.

Lake Travis Outlasts Judson In Epic Shootout
Gerald Tracy | November 26 November 25 | Gameday, High School, Recaps
AUSTIN, Texas- Lake Travis came in and handled business in the second half after a first half that looked like it would be bad news for the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers escaped Darrell K Royal Stadium with a narrow 47-39 win over the Judson Rockets Saturday afternoon.
It was a game that started quickly, with the Cavaliers leading 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. That lead was quickly extended when quarterback Matthew Baldwin hit receiver Garrett Wilson for a 15-yard touchdown pass, his second of what would be four total touchdowns.
Once the Rockets got the ball back, the jets turned on and the offense had liftoff.
Houston-commit Julon Williams started it with a 72-yard scoring run to lessen the deficit 14-10. On the next drive, Baldwin handed it of to Kyle Wakefield, who fumbled the ball while hit. The ball fell into the end zone and Baldwin jumped on it, giving Judson two points. Most quarterbacks may have tried to get out, but Baldwin says the move was calculated.
Ozzy Jaime/TexasHSFootball
"The defense made a great play, they dipped it out and I thought it was good to give them two points instead of seven, so I just got on it,"Baldwin said.
Judson then scored on the next two drives before capping off a 23-point second quarter. The Rockets had a halftime lead of 26-17. The defense was putting a stop to the Cavalier offense and things weren't looking good for Lake Travis.
"We didn't play our best half of football in the first half," Wison said after the win. "We left a lot of points on the board, turned the ball over and didn't help out or defense. But we knew if we did what Lake Travis usually does, we'd win the game and we did that."
The offense came out and put up another touchdown with a 73-yard Baldwin pass to Wilson to cut into the Judson lead 26-25 with 7:34 left in the third. Judson added another seven to the lead on its next drive, while the Cavalier offense prepared to attack.
It marched down the field in 10 plays to score to make the score 33-31, then the magic happened. Coach Hank Carter and his staff decided it was probably time for some trickery, considering who they were playing.
"We also made a decision as a staff that ok, we are going to have to play a little bit unconventionally moving forward," Carter said. "We talked about it all week and our kids bought in and understood that here's how we're going to try to play the game. But if we have to try to trade scores, we're going to try to gain a possession."
The Cavaliers did so with an onside kick. The kicking team didn't do anything too special, at first it looked like a normal kick. But kicker Cameron Dicker dribbled it down the middle of the field and Lake Travis recovered it at the 49-yard line.
Lake Travis drove 75 yards in 11 plays to take the lead 39-33, and would never look back. The defense hadn't been great all night, but forced a Judson punt on the next drive. Then, on fourth down, the Judson team was missing its eleventh player, a freshman.
The player got out on the field, but the snap was rushed. Sincere McCormick missed it and was downed at the five, giving Lake Travis an opportunity to make it a two-score game with less than four minutes in the game.
After extending its lead 47-33, Judson still had a little bit left. It drove down field and scored, but the extra point was blocked. It got the miraculous onside kick and the Lake Travis defense found itself in a hole once more, against a great quarterback.
"We had timely defense, most of the night we were not very good," Carter said after the game. "Julon Williams, all of their kids are incredible. We've been in awe of them for a long time, watching they way they play. They play the right way, they're talented and again it's just tough when you have two great teams having to face each other."
Judson was unable to do anything on that drive, as Julon Williams was sacked on fourth and long, ending the Rockets season.
Lake Travis will travel to Los Fresnos next Saturday at 1 p.m.
Garrett Wilson had a career night. Seven catches for 129 yards and three touchdowns. He also picked up another 25 yards and a score on the ground.
"Garrett is one of the most incredible athletes and young men I've ever been around," Carter said. "He's a basketball kid, which sometimes you don't associate that with toughness, but he's one of the toughest kids I've ever been around. Played through cramping tonight, a thumb injury earlier in the year and just keeps coming."
"It's fun, I'm blessed to have a guy like that," quarterback Matthew Baldwin said of his receiver. "There's not that many guys like that in the country. So it's hard to find him when he's not open, get him the ball and he'll make plays."
"He needs to forgo his senior year and go right to the league," Judson coach Sean McAuliffe said of Wilson. "The thing about him is he's fun to watch, maybe not so much when you're playing against him."
Baldwin wasn't bad either. He threw four scores with 295 yards.
After taking a 26-17 lead, Judson scored 13 points and allowed 30.

Leonardo DiCaprio makes a bold Earth Day plea for climate action
By Andrew Freedman 2016-04-22 15:25:57 UTC
Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio called on world leaders assembled at the United Nations on Friday to go beyond their commitments under the Paris Agreement on climate change, and push for "bold, unprecedented action."
Representatives from more than 170 countries met on Earth Day to sign the Paris Agreement, setting a record for the most signatories to any international agreement in history on the first day it was open for signature.
SEE ALSO: The 5 most important components of the Paris climate agreement
"Yes, we have achieved this agreement," DiCaprio said of the Paris Agreement, which for the first time, commits industrialized and developing nations to cutting emissions of greenhouse gases.
Leonardo DiCaprio speaks to the UN on signing of Paris Agreement, says promise means nothing without action pic.twitter.com/tOuRsgVCxH
— Mashable News (@MashableNews) April 22, 2016
"That is reason for hope," he said.
"You know that climate change is happening faster than even the most pessimistic climate scientists thought decades ago," he said.
The world is now watching, you will either be lauded by future generations or vilified by them.
The signing event, organized by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, is intended to galvanize additional actions and ensure that the agreement enters into force sooner than initially anticipated, by 2017 rather than the original date of 2020.
In just the past several months global temperatures have spiked to levels never before seen in human history. Coral reefs around the world have been hit hard with a coral bleaching event from overheated seas. Alarming studies have been published that are pushing sea level rise projections higher.
All these facts, according to DiCaprio and other speakers, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, show the need for more aggressive emissions cuts compared to what the Paris agreement spells out.
"Unfortunately the evidence shows us that it will not be enough. Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong," DiCaprio said.
"You are the last, best hope of Earth," says @LeoDiCaprio to leaders signing the #ParisAgreement on #EarthDay2016 pic.twitter.com/zqfkCyc3sY
Although the agreement itself calls for global warming to be held under 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels, the actions pledged within it would likely result in closer to 4 degrees Celsius, or 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit, of warming.
DiCaprio is a U.N. Messenger of Peace, and his charity foundation focuses on environmental issues, including climate change.
"We can congratulate each other today but it will mean nothing if you return to your countries and fail to push beyond the promises of this historic agreement. Now is the time for bold, unprecedented action," he said.
"The world is now watching, you will either be lauded by future generations or vilified by them."

Bradford College is up against the likes of Channel 4, the British Army and the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner for a prestigious diversity award.
The college has been shortlisted in the Diversity Champion of the Year category at the 2019 British Muslim Awards, which take place in Bradford on 19 February.
The college's nomination relates to an exhibition held to raise awareness of Islamaphobia.
Put together by the college's Student Base team, with support from MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development), it ran during National Islamophobia Awareness Week.
Mohammed Azeem, Student Base Team Leader, said: "The exhibition featured the positive contributions of British Muslims such as Mo Farah, Nadiya Hussain, Sadiq Khan and many more and showcased the true scale of Islamophobia and other forms of hate crimes across society. Its main aim was to bring people and communities together and to promote peace and unity as well highlighting the scale of the different forms of hate crime.
"The exhibition ran around the same time as a hate crime incident that occurred in West Yorkshire which attracted huge local and national media report when a young Syrian boy was bullied in Huddersfield. This highlighted the importance of such an exhibition and how to tackle hate crime by bringing people together to celebrate equality and diversity.
The British Muslim Awards, now in its seventh year, showcases the strength of the British Muslim community, the impact it has on culture and its achievements over the last year in areas including business, charity, sport, arts, culture, religious advocacy, education and medicine.

Snapdeal losses increased by 150% in the financial year 2016
January 18, 2017 Amrit Hallan Digital Economy, E-Commerce, Indian Tech, Technology News 0
Right now the 3 biggest online retailers in India are Flipkart, Snapdeal and Amazon. Until Amazon began to make a significant mark in India, it was mostly Flipkart and Snapdeal that ruled the roost. Among Flipkart and Snapdeal, Snapdeal was my personal favourite because Flipkart wouldn't ship items to where I lived (it happened to be that I mostly purchased expensive items those days). Consequently, I purchased my mobile phone from Snapdeal and I also purchased the iPad for my daughter from Snapdeal. Even the printer that I have was purchased on Snapdeal. So obviously it's surprising to know that Snapdeal has registered a loss of Rs. 3316 crore in the year ended 31 March 2016. Compared to 2015, this is an increase of 150% losses.
Revenue on the other hand grew by 56%, to Rs. 1457 crore. Compared to this, in 2015, the revenue growth of the company was 450%.
Consequently, Snapdeal has lost its 2nd spot to Amazon. Although Flipkart gets better coverage in media, I always thought Snapdeal was doing better simply because I was having a better experience with Snapdeal.
So what happened? Did Aamir Khan jinx it?
What the company says seems believable, considering the sort of after sales service that snappy provides:
"In order to deliver the best in class customer experience and to set up the necessary infrastructure for future growth, there was an increase in fulfilment and overhead expenses."
They have the best return policy and I say this with experience. From mobile phones to electric lamps to tea kettles to printers, I have returned pretty much everything and I have never had problems with them. They immediately arrange for the return of the item and either refund or replace the item according to your preference.
The worst experience that I had while trying to return a faulty mobile phone was with Amazon India although directly they were not to be faulted. While trying to return the phone, although they were extremely courteous, they made me directly interact with the vendor and the vendor made me feel as if I was cheating him by pretending that the phone was not working. So, while the vendor was misbehaving with me, I was bitching about the sort of experience I was having with Amazon on Twitter. With Snapdeal, it's always a breeze. No questions asked. The simply take the details and then arrange the item to be returned.
Despite the sort of experience that I had with Amazon India, I find myself doing more business with Amazon and less business with Snapdeal (although I still don't purchase much from Flipkart). This can be because buying smaller stuff on Amazon is easier than on Snapdeal (and they did refund despite the vendor's misbehaviour). For example, I even purchased my sanitiser and a toothbrush pack from Amazon recently. It is becoming like a grocery shopping place so maybe this is why it is quickly leaving Snapdeal behind. I have a Prime membership with Amazon so the delivery is free for most of the basic orders. After all, it is the delivery fee that stops you from purchasing smaller items because sometimes the delivery fee is more than the cost of the item. If somehow Snapdeal can also provide the same sort of service where the delivery can be free, it may be able to make more sales.

Q: Logitech C270 webcam reading from wrong position Have got my Logitech C270 webcam working out of the box for cheese, skype and it's working fine, sound as well.
But when I go to a website stream it is looking for my camera here; file/dev/video0
the trouble is everything else is say my webcam is here instead; file/dev/video1
So it works ok on Skype with those settings but other sites are looking for cam in the wrong place?
Thanks now for any advice :)

A: Probably you have a /dev/video0 that's not connected to anything. sudo rm /dev/video0 and then reboot and you should see your device added in the /dev/video0 position; if not check dmesg for clues.
It's also possible that you've used udev to manually assign a video1 number.

Simpsons Writer Gives Reason Why They've Been Able To Predict So Many Events
by : Shola Lee on : 17 Nov 2021 16:29
A writer from The Simpsons has explained why they're able to predict so many major events.
We've all been freaked out by how accurate The Simpsons is at predicting global events, from Trump's presidency to 9/11 – the comedic cartoon seems to have an eerie way of knowing what's going to happen.
The hit show has been on everyone's minds this week after it took part in a crossover event last week in celebration of Disney+ Day.
Titled The Simpsons in Plusaversary, the new short sees Homer cross into the Disney realm to sit down with Goofy.
But this isn't the first time The Simpsons has crossed into another universe, as the show has repeatedly – and correctly – predicted many events in our own.
It even predicted the Covid pandemic. Spooky.
Now, show runner Al Jean, a legend at the show and one of the original writers back in 1989, has revealed how the writers do it.
Speaking to NME, Jean said:
One of our writers, the guy whose episode predicted Donald Trump as president, said it best: 'If you write 700 episodes, and you don't predict anything, then you're pretty bad. If you throw enough darts, you're going to get some bullseyes.
Makes sense, but some predictions have surprised even Jean.
Speaking of one the show's most infamous predictions, Jean said, 'The 9/11 one is so bizarre.'
In the World Trade Center episode, there was a brochure reading $9 a day with an 11 styled up like the towers. That was in '96, which was crazy, like this insane coincidence.
Despite the unsettling coincidence, Jean maintains that the predictions are 'just educated guesses'.
While The Simpsons creators may not have predictive powers, they do have a 'curse', according to Jean.
The Simpsons Started Predicting World Events 32 Years Ago Today
The show runner explained 'we're cursed by high ratings', which he says could leave room for a new movie.
That's right, a new The Simpsons Movie – we can hear the spider-pig theme already.
Offering a glimmer of hope to fans, Jean made his own prediction about the future of The Simpsons.
We're still on the air as a TV show and that takes up a lot of time. I worked on the [first] movie simultaneous to the show, and it nearly killed the animators. But we have an idea, it's just that we're waiting to see what the environment is.
Here's hoping that environment isn't the sealed dome from the first movie, because we want this prediction see the light of day.

M1A1 AIM Abrams
General Dynamics Land Systems - GDLS
Armoured Vehicles
Modernization of the vehicle
AIM is a joint program to refurbish M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks. M1A1 Abrams tanks are completely disassembled and overhauled to a like-new, "zero-mile, zero-hour" condition. The refurbished M1A1 AIM tanks incur lower operational and support costs and report higher operational readiness rates. AIM is a joint program involving the U.S. Army Project Manager for the Heavy Brigade Combat Team; the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command; the Anniston Army Depot, Anniston, Ala.; and General Dynamics Land Systems. The first Abrams Integrated Management M1A1 MBT for the 21st century (AIM XXI) was accepted by the US Army in a joint industry and depot ceremony at the Lima Army Tank Plant in December 1996. This was just six months after General Dynamics Land Systems^was awarded a US$4.1 million firm fixed-price contract to refurbish 18 M1A1 MBTs in a Proof of Principle programme by the US Army in a teaming arrangement with the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD). The AIM XXI programme is designed economically to rebuild and maintain the M1A1 MBT to a 'like new' condition. This will improve fleet readiness and reduce sustainment costs through a Service Life Extension Programme (SLEP). AIM XXI integrates the original equipment manufacturer and depot support of the M1A1 MBT fleet in the areas of vehicle restoration, field support and information management. In August 1998 the US Army awarded General Dynamics a contract worth US$20.7 million to refurbish 45 M1A1 MBTs to the AIM XXI by July 2000. In the AIM XXI programme M1A1 MBTs are completely disassembled at the Anniston Army Depot and overhauled at the Lima Army Tank Plant. In FY 1999 the US Army hopes to refurbish as many as 70 additional M1A1 MBTs and continue the programme in the year 2000 to the year 2005 at upwards of 90 M1A1 MBTs a year.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: The 10 Most Insane Moments From Part 2
Courtesy of Netflix (3)
Witches be warned: This list includes events from all nine episodes of CAOS' second part. Beware spoilers!
Sabrina Spellman has had one hell of a weekend. The nine episodes in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 2, which hit Netflix on Friday, put America's favorite teenage witch through the wringer, from a deadly scuffle with a gorgeous werewolf to a series of uncomfortable revelations about her father-turned-husband. (Hey, at least she looks stunning in gold!)
Truly, Part 2 proved time and again that we should never even try to predict what this show is going to throw at us. From magically choreographed musical numbers to school-sanctioned orgies in the woods, Part 2 was a series of unexpected delights.
In fact, these nine episodes were so bonkers that Theo receiving additional visits from his ghostly ancestor didn't even crack our list of the top 10 wildest moments. (Besides, ghosts are so Part 1.)
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 2: Top 10 'WTF' Moments
Other honorable mentions that barely missed the cut include: Sabrina nearly burning Baxter High School to the ground at the Dark Lord's behest, Mrs. Wardwell declaring, "You have to put that bitch down," and Harvey and the gang manually closing the gates of hell without any magical assistance. (Honestly, I was very proud of the humans in Part 2, generally speaking. Good effort, gang!)

Germain a Friar
New Hampshire Junior Monarchs (EJHL) forward Matt Germain has committed to Providence College for this coming fall.
A 5'11", 195 lb. left shot center from Quincy, Mass., Germain is a 4/6/86 birthdate who is currently fourth in the EJHL in scoring with a 15-35-50 line in 30 games played.
Germain, a 2005 grad of Northfield-Mt. Hermon and the younger brother of Yale junior forward David Germain, becomes the fourth Monarch to commit to PC, joining forwards Ian O'Connor and Austin Mayer, and defenseman Eric Baier.
The Monarchs sit atop the EJHL with a 27-3-1 record.
Brunswick Still #1 in Div. II
The Brunswick School holds onto the top spot in this week's USHR Div. II prep poll. For the full poll, click below.
Jan. 29 USHR Div. II Poll
Avon Tops USHR Div. I Prep Poll
The Avon Old Farms Winged Beavers are the new #1 in the USHR Div. I prep poll, taking over the top spot from Taft, which lost two in a row.
There are plenty of changes in the poll this week, with two new teams nosing their way into the top ten. Of the eight teams carried over from last week, not a single one kept their same slot. Some of the changes are dramatic as five teams moved up, and three moved down.
Seven of the teams are from the West, and three from the east, the same as last week.

AJHL's All Stars Set to Go on Sunday
The Atlantic Junior Hockey League's all-star game will be played this Sunday, Jan. 28th, at 2:00 pm at Holy Cross.

Travelin' Man
Former RPI defenseman Jacob Schuster, who completed the required NCAA 4-2-4 transfer rule, is now enrolled at Northeastern for the second semester, and eligible to play.
Schuster, a 6'3", 210 lb. native of Hopkinton, Mass., is a 2/5/85 birthdate. He's well-traveled, too, as Northeastern will be his sixth team in six years. Last year, Schuster was at Waterloo (USHL), in '04-05 he played three games at RPI, in '03-04 he played for the Walpole Stars (EJHL), in '02-03 he played for Cedar Rapids (USHL), and in '01-02, he played for Lawrence Academy.
Berkshire School PG defenseman Kevan Miller has committed to the University of Vermont.
A 6'1", 195 lb. native of Los Angeles in his third year at Berkshire, Miller has size, mobility, good puck-moving skills, and makes good decisions.
"He's also a great athlete," Berkshire head coach Dan Driscoll says. "He led the soccer team to the New England finals and was the leading goal scorer. He's a character kid and a pleasure to coach."
Other schools in the picture for Miller were Union, Northeastern, and Colorado College.
Miller, a right shot, is an 11/15/87 birthdate.
Brunswick #1 Again in USHR Div. II Poll
There's virtually no movement in this week's USHR Div. II Prep Poll. The same ten teams are featured – and all except two are in the same slot as last week.
Wednesday's Vermont Academy at Proctor game could change that, though.
Jan. 22 USHR Div. II Prep Poll
Taft Tops Div. I Poll
The Taft School tops the USHR Div. I Prep Poll again. And while the same ten schools as last week are making up this week's top ten, there have been some changes, with Cushing and Belmont Hill among the gainers.
Key games Monday afternoon are Westminster at Avon, and Choate at Salisbury.
Div. I USHR Poll: Jan. 21, 2007
RPI Lands a Shooter
6'0", 180 lb. LW Patrick Cullen of the Washington Jr. Nationals has committed to RPI for the fall of '08.
With a 30-25-55 line in 34 games for the Junior Nationals, Cullen is the only '89 among the Atlantic Junior Hockey League's top 10 scorers.
The AJHL is not a heavily scouted league, and Cullen was pretty much an unknown before a strong performance at July's Select 17 Festival in St. Cloud, Minn.
That's where he started drawing college interest, and USHL interest, too. Three or four USHL teams have been trying to get him to the league this season. Look for Cullen to be a high pick in this spring's USHL draft.
A well-rounded offensive player and a strong, powerful skater, Cullen is best known for his shot – he can really fire it.
Taft to Appeal NEPSIHA Ruling
The NEPSIHA Board has ruled that Taft's 2-1 overtime win over Belmont Hill in the Lawrenceville Christmas Tournament on Dec. 16 will be considered a tie for purposes of seeding for the NEPSIHA Tournament.
In a nutshell, the game is being considered as a tie because the overtime session was played NHL style -- 4-on-4 – and NEPSIHA follows NCAA rules, i.e 5-on-5 and no shootout.
The overtime goal for Taft, off the stick of Jesse Root, came at the 2:27 mark.
Taft will appeal the decision.
In an email to USHR, Taft head coach Dan Murphy wrote:
"First and foremost, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Pat Dennehy and the Board of Governance as educators and as coaches. Pat and the NEPSIHA Board of Governance have put a tremendous amount of energy forth in dealing with this issue; I am very appreciative of their efforts. They have made their decision, and I do not agree with their ruling. We won the game under the rules and conditions of the Lawrenceville Tournament. I ask my players to "give me their best" in all facets of Taft school life, and I owe it to them as a team to appeal the decision. With the support of my Athletic Director David Hinman, The Taft School will appeal the decision to NEPSAC (New England Prep School Athletic Committee) in the coming days.
"In closing, in no way, shape or form is this issue a distraction for my team; they are an extremely resilient group. And, this issue will not tarnish my admiration and relationship with the individuals that have made the ruling."
OK, here is the background. As we mentioned above, NEPSIHA uses NCAA rules when it comes to overtime. However, in tournaments you need a winner at every step of the way. In this year's Flood-Marr, for example, Hotchkiss won the title game over Salisbury in double overtime, playing 5-on-5. If Hotchkiss had scored within the first five minutes of overtime, it would have been considered a win for Hotchkiss. But, once the game passed the five minute mark of OT, there could be no "winner" as far as NEPSIHA seeding is considered. For both Hotchkiss and Salisbury, that game is a tie.
Of course, in that game, there was no controversy: everyone knew the ground rules going in.
The controversy in the Lawrenceville Tournament revolves around the fact that there had been no real discussion among participants as to what would happen if the game went into OT and, playing 4-on-4, a goal was scored in the first five minutes.
The discussion came after – and that's where things get sticky.
NEPSIHA president Pat Dennehy is also the head coach at Choate, and his team was in the tournament as well.
"Lawrenceville sent out the tournament rules in early October, as they do every year," Dennehy said. "However, this was the first year they made a rule change and no one really read it. Lawrenceville did not make a bullet point of it and we assumed things would be the same. If we had known about it in advance, we would have had a discussion."
"The night before the game," Dennehy continued. "It (the rule change) came to our attention at the banquet. We should have decided right there what we would do if the situation came up. But we didn't – and I take some of the blame for that. There was some light conversation along the lines of "hope that doesn't happen" -- and then the conversation moved on."
Afterward, it was left to Dennehy to come to a decision. He consulted at length with NEPSIHA board members Mike Walsh (Proctor), Bill Troy (Cushing), Steve Dagdigian (St. Sebastian's), and incoming president Josh Brandwene (NMH).
"We had a lot of long conversations about it," Dennehy said. "We really exhausted the issue."
What made it doubly hard for the board was the fact that they were working on arriving at a decision after the fact.
"Usually," Dennehy said, "if there's something different NEPSIHA coaches would get together and come to an agreement beforehand."
"It's hard to look back and say how we would have come to an agreement before the fact. Unfortunately, we missed that opportunity."
Dennehy talked to a lot of people in the game, and studied the NCAA rulebook closely.
Dennehy pointed to Rule 56-B in the NCAA rulebook, which, when discussing OT, says a "standard" overtime period should be played if there is no winner after regulation. "It doesn't specify 5-on-5," Dennehy said, "but the NCAA rulebook doesn't say that regulation should be 5-on-5 either."
"I think that everyone understands where Danny is coming from. It's a no-win situation. If it weren't for seeding for the NEPSIHA tournament, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
"I think it was the safe decision. I hope it doesn't affect anything (in the post-season). With our luck it probably will."
"We as coaches dropped the ball," Dennehy added. "I wish Lawrenceville had made it more of a bullet point so it would have been prominently brought to our attention."
"We'll live with the decision we made. I felt it would have created more upheaval if we had gone the other way. What we came up with was the easier decision."
As for Murphy's point of view, Dennehy, who is good friends with the Taft coach said, "He's upset. He's fighting for his kids. If I were in his position I'd be doing the same thing."
Look for the whole OT issue in tournament play to be on the docket at the spring coaches meeting. We've always wanted to see wins in tournament games count as wins – no matter when in OT the goal is scored and no matter how many skaters are allowed. It's simple, and simple is good. Another option would be to disregard tournament games when it comes to NEPSIHA seeding. We're against that because it would both devalue the tournament games and shrink the statistical sample that postseason seedings are based upon. And yet another option would be for NEPSIHA teams to simply decline to play in tournaments that utilize a 4-on-4 overtime.
No matter what the ultimate final decision is, something good will come out of all this, in the sense that things will be clearer in the future.
Sislo to UNH
Green Bay Gamblers 5'11", 171 lb. forward Mike Sislo has committed to UNH for this coming fall.
Sislo, who made his final choice from between Wisconsin, Minnesota-Duluth, Mankato State, and UNH, is a former Superior (Wisc.) High School player who joined the Gamblers last season for his 12th grade year, but has really blossomed this season.
A right-shot RW, Sislo has a 16-9-25 line in 31 games. He's the fifth-leading goal scorer in the USHL, and is #1 in the league in shooting percentage.
"He's an unbelievable young man," Gamblers head coach Mark Mazzoleni said. "(UNH assistant coach) Scott Borek said he was one of the most impressive young men they've had visit there in a long time."
"On the ice, he's really blossomed this year," Mazzoleni added. "He's a tremendous skater. He feels and understands the game well. And he shoots like an NHLer. From mid-November to now he's really come on. UNH covers our league so well, and they just jumped on him. He's great for that program. They like the skating game – and he can finish. I think UNH got a high-end player."
Glass Commits…
Noble & Greenough junior forward Andrew Glass has committed to Boston University for the fall of '08.
Glass, a 5'11", 180 lb. left wing from Wrentham, Mass., made his final choice from between BU and Harvard. Other schools in the picture were BC (for '09) and Providence College.
This is Glass' third year skating for Nobles. As a freshman he posted a 7-15-22 line, and as a sophomore his numbers were 15-24-39. This season, he has a 2-3-5 line but has been in and out of the lineup a couple times with injuries.
A native of Wrentham, Mass., Glass is a smooth skater who moves the puck quickly and accurately – and he keeps his feet moving while doing so.
Glass was ranked # 110 in last week's NHL Central Scouting mid-term rankings of North American skaters.
Marshall Decommits…
Glass' classmate at Nobles, Matt Marshall, has decommitted at Northeastern, and is again available for recruiting.
Marshall, who was relatively unknown last season playing for Hingham High School, committed to Northeastern, where his father is an alum, in the early summer.
A 6'0", 185 lb. right wing, Marshall is an excellent skater for his size. He entered Nobles this fall, and his stock has shot up quickly. Marshall was ranked #39 in last week's NHL Central Scouting mid-term rankings of North American skaters. That makes him the second-highest ranked prep school player, following only Westminster defenseman Tommy Cross.
We expect Marshall will wind up at another Hockey East school, perhaps one inside Route 128. He'll certainly get attention from many quarters.
Marshall has been slowed by injury this season, but still has a 6-7-13 line, which makes him Nobles' third-leading scorer, trailing only Josh Franklin and Nick Resor.
By the way, everybody is using the word decommits/decommitted in these situations, but there is really no such word in the English language – at least not yet. And uncommitted isn't exactly accurate. It would, however, be correct to say that Marshall reneged on his Northeastern commitment and is now uncommitted. That's the usage we'll use next time this kind of thing happens.
Maine Native to the Black Bears
Portland Junior Pirates (AJHL) 5'11", 182 lb. forward Mark Anthoine has committed to play for the University of Maine Black Bears, starting in either '08 or '09.
A 9/6/90 birthdate, Anthoine was one of the better players at last summer's Select 16 Festival in Rochester, NY. He's a strong two-way player who scores goals and competes.
A native of Lewiston, Maine, Anthoine played a year of high school hockey at St. Dom's before opting for the junior route, where he's blossomed with the Pirates.
Anthoine narrowed his college choices to Harvard and Maine. He made his decision after watching Maine's 6-5 home loss to BU last Friday.
In 30 games with the Pirates, Anthoine has a 28-12-40 line.
USHL All-Star Teams Announced
The teams for the USHL Prospects/All-Star Game have been announced. Rosters are below.

Kessel a Wildcat
6'1", 210 lb. RD Blake Kessel of the Waterloo Black Hawks (USHL) has committed to the University of New Hampshire for the fall of '08.
Kessel is the younger brother of Boston Bruins forward Phil Kessel and, while he doesn't have his brother's skating skills, he does have his brother's ability to see the ice.
Last season, he led his midget team, the Madison (Wisc.) Capitols in scoring with a 33-47-80 line in 62 games. He has very good hands and stick and is a high-end puck distributor.
"A lot of schools were interested – seriously interested – but no one really followed as hard as UNH," said Waterloo head coach/GM P.K. O'Handley.
A 4/13/89 birthday, Kessel was rated 72nd in Central Scouting's Mid-Term rankings, released last week.
Kessel, who has a 4-10-14 line with a +7 in 29 games for the first place Black Hawks, will be appearing in the USHL All-Star game Jan. 30.
A Key Recruit for Harvard
Deerfield Academy junior forward Alex Killorn has committed to Harvard for the fall of '08.
Killorn, a first-year player for the Big Green, is a 6'0", 161 lbs. left-shot center. In 11 games, he has an 11-8-19 line.
In the NHL's Central Scouting Rankings, which came out last week, Killorn was ranked 64th among North American skaters. He's a young '89, with his birthday coming on September 14th, making him eligible for the draft by just one day.
Last season, the Montreal native, who was drafted by Shawinigan in the 2005 QMJHL draft, played for the Lac St. Louis Lions (Quebec Midget AAA). He also played on the Quebec team that won the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge last January, playing on a line with Angelo Esposito.
Killorn, who has size, and will fill out more before he gets to college, is a rangy center with very good vision and an excellent shot.
He had a ton of college attention, from all the Ivies as well as BC, BU, UNH, and others.
He Hung In There
Sioux City Musketeers (USHL) goaltender Jerry Kuhn, who 15 months ago wasn't on anyone's radar and was just looking for a place to continue playing junior hockey, has committed to Western Michigan (CCHA) for the fall of '07.
Kunh, a 5'10" 3/20/86 birthdate from Southgate, Michigan, played midgets for Victory Honda before moving onto the Mahoning Valley Phantoms (NAHL). Then, last fall, he was added to Sioux City's roster. In 29 games, he had a 2.86 GAA and a .916 save percentage.
This season, he has helped lead Sioux City to the top of the USHL's West Division, appearing in 23 games and posting a league best .933 save percentage.
Brunswick Holds Onto Top Spot In Div. II
The Brunswick School, by dint of a 6-5 OT win over Vermont Academy on Saturday, holds onto the top spot in this week's USHR Div. II poll.
Div. II Poll – Week of Jan. 15
Rhinos Top USHR Div. I Prep Poll
The Taft School has taken over the top spot in the new USHR Div. I prep poll, released tonight.
One thing that is becoming apparent is the fact that there's quite a difference – a gulf, really -- between the west and east. Other than Cushing, there is really no eastern team that, based on the numbers (especially strength of schedule), looks like a contender. That could change, of course, but may not. No matter what, there will have to be a fourth team from the east. Right now, though, the east doesn't have a fourth team that deserves to be in the playoffs.

Cushing's Jacobs Announces Retirement
Longtime Cushing coach Steve Jacobs has made official what has been rumored for a while, announcing to his players tonight that he would be retiring as head coach of Cushing after the season.
Jacobs, who has been synonymous with Cushing hockey for 22 years, took over a program that played in a cold off-campus rink in Gardner, Mass. and turned it into one of the top prep programs in the country, twice winning NEPSIHA Div. I crowns (1996, 1998). times.
Jacobs began his coaching career 30 years ago, working as an assistant under Peter Van Buskirk at Hudson (Mass.) High School, which he had attended as a student prior to a PG year at Choate. Jacobs was on Van Buskirk's staff when Hudson High won the 1978 Mass. Div. I state championship. From there, Jacobs moved on to Algonquin Regional High, where he was an assistant for one year. Jacobs first head coaching position was at Marlboro (Mass.) High School, where he was behind the bench for six years before taking over at Cushing in the mid-80s.
In January 2005, Jacobs earned win number 500. When it was pointed out to him that 500 wins comes out to an average of 25 a year for two decades, Jacobs replied, "That just means we've had great players here."
In Jacobs' 21 seasons, his teams have never had a losing campaign, and in all but one season have reached the final eight. Twelve Cushing teams have reached the final four, and five have reached the title game. Two Cushing teams have won prep championships, in 1996 and 1998. The Tom Poti-Ryan Moynihan-Bobby Allen-Joe Exter led team of 1995-96, which went 35-1 was the best Cushing team we've ever seen, and one of the great prep teams of all time.
We'll be updating this story, with quotes from Jacobs and more, as soon as possible.

Almeida Returns to Action Tonight
Boston College recruit Barry Almeida, who suffered an off-ice eye injury last summer, received medical clearance yesterday and will be playing his first game of the season tonight, suiting up for the Omaha Lancers (EJHL).
The Lancers, playing at home against the Sioux City Musketeers, are in need of a little pop up front -- and Almeida needs games to make up for lost time.
Almeida, the EJHL MVP last season, hasn't played a game in anger since last March, when his team, the New England Falcons, was eliminated in the league semis. Almeida has been practicing with the Falcons all fall.
If Almeida, a 5'9", 170 lb. left shot center, had stayed with the Falcons he would have only been able to play 15 more games plus playoffs. The USHL, which moved to a later early October start date this year, is only now at the halfway point of the regular season. Omaha still has 29 games left – and then playoffs.
An interesting sidebar to this is the fact that New England Falcons hockey director Lincoln Flagg and head coach Mike McLaughlin gave Almeida, who would have really helped the Falcons down the stretch, encouragement in making this move west, urging him to take advantage of this opportunity, and helping set things up so he could graduate with his class here in Massachusetts. Flagg and McLaughlin told Almeida that, if the Lancers have success in the playoffs, Almeida could get 40-50 games under his belt, and be ready to excel at Boston College in the fall.
Flagg and McLaughlin put the player's best interest first. The spirit of Gary Dineen lives on.
Young Biega To Harvard
Salisbury School leading scorer Michael Biega has been admitted to Harvard and will join older brother Alex Biega there this fall.
Biega, who has a 7-8-15 line in 10 games, is a 5'11", 190 lb. native of Montreal, Quebec. A 5/28/89 birthdate, he's eligible for June's NHL draft.
A left wing, Biega has been playing on Salisbury's top line, with center Brian Gibbons and RW Paul Carey.
Last year, on Salisbury's championship team, Biega had a 16-20-36 line in 28 games. This is Biega's third year playing for coach Dan Donato.
If you're a Harvard fan and haven't seen Biega, Salisbury will be playing Holderness at Harvard's Bright Arena on Sunday Feb. 28 at 1 pm.

Gophers Say Goodbye to Hirsch
Senior forward Tyler Hirsch has been cut by the #1-ranked University of Minnesota Gophers after a lackluster performance in the Gophers 3-1 win over Alabama-Huntsville Friday night.
During warmups, Hirsch was seen just shooting the puck against the boards. During the game, he made little effort backchecking. Toward the end of the game, he was benched. The next day head coach Don Lucia dismissed Hirsch from the team.
Hirsch, who took a medical redshirt last season to attend to personal affairs, had a 4-18-22 line in 15 games. The Bloomington, Minn. native, who played his prep hockey at Shattuck-St. Mary's, had been previously benched for five games this season for academic reasons, for poor effort in practice, and for being late for a team meeting.
On March 18, 2005, after a 3-0 loss to Colorado College, Hirsch placed the puck at center ice as fans were filing out of the building, took off for the goal, fired a slapshot into the net from the hash marks, and then kept going toward the net, full tilt, and clotheslined himself on the crossbar. He then got up, and skated off, as fans watched, bewildered, thinking it was some kind of joke.
Hirsch was reportedly hospitalized with a nervous breakdown afterward.
Hopefully, Hirsch will be able to continue with his studies and graduate with his class this spring.

Offensive D-Man for Wildcats
Sioux City Musketeers (USHL) defenseman Mike Beck has committed to UNH for next fall.
Beck, the leading scoring d-man on Sioux City, is a 4/10/86 birthdate in his fourth year in the USHL, meaning he'll arrive at UNH as a 21-year-old defenseman.
An assistant captain for the first-pace Musketeers, Beck handles the puck well, can run the power play, and shoots the puck a lot. This season, he's looked more assertive and quicker than in previous seasons. In 26 games, he has a 3-15-18 line with a +16.
A Long Beach, California native, Beck played for the California Wave.
Bemidji State was also recruiting him.
Beck is the second Musketeer to be heading to UNH in the fall, as he will matriculate with USHL leading scorer Phil DeSimone.

VALENTE, Romina; ROBLES, Maria del Rosario; NAVONE, Graciela T e DIAZ, Julia I. Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas: geographical and chronological distribution of definitive hosts versus disease reports. Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz [online]. 2018, vol.113, n.3, pp.143-152. ISSN 0074-0276. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0074-02760170226.
Angiostrongyliasis is an infection caused by nematode worms of the genus Angiostrongylus. The adult worms inhabit the pulmonary arteries, heart, bronchioles of the lung, or mesenteric arteries of the caecum of definitive host. Of a total of 23 species of Angiostrongylus cited worldwide, only nine were registered in the American Continent. Two species, A. cantonensis and A. costaricensis, are considered zoonoses when the larvae accidentally parasitise man.
In the present study, geographical and chronological distribution of definitive hosts of Angiostrongylus in the Americas is analysed in order to observe their relationship with disease reports. Moreover, the role of different definitive hosts as sentinels and dispersers of infective stages is discussed.
The study area includes the Americas. First records of Angiostrongylus spp. in definitive or accidental hosts were compiled from the literature. Data were included in tables and figures and were matched to geographic information systems (GIS).
Most geographical records of Angiostrongylus spp. both for definitive and accidental hosts belong to tropical areas, mainly equatorial zone. In relation to those species of human health importance, as A. cantonensis and A. costaricensis, most disease cases indicate a coincidence between the finding of definitive host and disease record. However, in some geographic site there are gaps between report of definitive host and disease record. In many areas, human populations have invaded natural environments and their socioeconomic conditions do not allow adequate medical care.
MAIN CONCLUSIONS
Consequently, many cases for angiostrongyliasis could have gone unreported or unrecognised throughout history and in the nowadays. Moreover, the population expansion and the climatic changes invite to make broader and more complete range of observation on the species that involve possible epidemiological risks. This paper integrates and shows the current distribution of Angiostrongylus species in America, being this information very relevant for establishing prevention, monitoring and contingency strategies in the region.

+ Unlike waxy and occlusive petrolatum-based formulations that mainly help hold in existing water content, this super-saturated and long-lasting lip and skin balm is filled with a high concentration of skin-identical Amino Acids in a Plant-derived Squalane and Baobab Oil base.
+ This formula helps in protecting, hydrating and repairing dry skin from the moment it's first used.
+ The total concentration of these technologies in the formula by weight is 75%.
1. Apply to lips and/or dry skin areas that need love.
2. Use as needed… or more than needed if you prefer to finish the tube more quickly to try another flavor.
Come in a long colorful box, Petrowhat? has basic information like ingredients and directions so you don't have to check their website just to find those information. On the front side you can find a pineapple and a mouth with angel wings design which I don't know what those pictures are supposed to mean.
The actual packaging is a white squeeze tube with a red lid and I find it's very similar to a toothpaste, it works like it as well. You need to squeeze it gently to let the product out and if you squeeze too hard, too much product will come out and you can't put them back anymore so be careful when you squeeze it.
If you want to travel and bring this with you, I'd suggest you to keep it in the box because who knows, it can be squeezed accidentally and make a mess everywhere just like I did with my Peripera Ink Blurring Skin Tint.
The one I got is in Bali (or pineapple) flavor and it does really smell and taste like a real pineapple! I licked my lips once and it tastes sweet and sour just like a pineapple is and honestly, it's addicting and I kept licking my lips over and over.
The product itself has a jelly texture, a little bit thick but oily as it contains oil as well. It has a yellowish color which I think maybe because it's in pineapple flavor.
Even though it's thick, it's very easy to spread but I'd suggest to use just a little bit of product because it takes time to let my lips absorb it. It's also very oily so it's good for dry lips but it makes my lips feel heavy and a bit uncomfortable.
The good side is, it's working really good in moisturizing my lips. I don't have severe dry lips but I do have stubborn dry patches that won't go away even after I apply different lip balms. I'm impressed it can make my lips feel smooth and well-moisturized! I don't mind the oiliness too much as long as it can make my lips look better.
The oiliness will stay on the lips for a really long time but maybe that's one of the reason why it keeps my lips moisturized for a long time as well. To remove the oil you can remove it with a tissue but that will make your lips feel dry faster so I won't recommend it.
Turns out Petrowhat? can be used for dry skin as well. Not as a moisturizer, but it can help to moisturize dry parts on your skin. I have some dry patches on my right cheek so it's perfect to test if this ointment will work amazingly on the skin or not.
As you can see on the picture, I have redness and dry parts on my cheek. It doesn't look too visible but when I touch my cheek, it feels scratchy and look uneven.
I tried the ointment on my dry parts only and I'm happy to say that it's working pretty good as well! It makes my skin looks smoother and I can't be more satisfied with the result.
But because of the heavy oil in it, it can't be used under your makeup because it can make your makeup looks patchy and cakey. I prefer using this ointment after I wash my face because that's when my skin looks dry the most so I can see which part need to be more moisturized.
I also don't recommend you to use it before you go to sleep because the oil can transfer to your pillow and make it sticky and uncomfortable.
I think it's really good and worth the price! If you have dry skin and dry lips, this product will be a life-saver for you. If you have oily skin, you may find it's too heavy for you. It doesn't make me break out and I can see it will last me for a really long time since I only need a small amount for each use.
Have you tried Deciem Abnomaly Petrowhat? Lip Balm?


The Middle East is on the technology fast lane of becoming one of the world's leading smart regions. With thousands of smart city initiatives in the pipeline, the United Arab Emirates, in particular, will set the benchmark for efficient and sustainable cities, with others to follow suit. From self-driving cars to futuristic flying taxis, the UAE has got them all in their smart city blueprint.
In the midst of this technology-driven age, it is interesting to see how the smart city vision of Dubai touches upon the human factor by setting the goal of making it one of the happiest cities in the world. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) will be the key drivers in accomplishing the Gulf dream of smart, happy, and efficient cities.
Picture a world in which the connected health data of citizens can help them make better decisions and also save millions of lives. If Citizen A is allergic to smoke and is prone to severe pollution-related asthma, he would receive proactive notifications in case of fire breakout or excessive pollution in the route he's taking. Accordingly, Citizen B with the same set of problems can also avoid the route and take a different one to reach his destination. Further, live traffic data fetched along with hospital details in the vicinity can help someone access the nearest hospital in case of an unavoidable medical emergency.
Apart from the pure health benefits, such connectivity can help reduce expenses on avoidable medical treatments. And so the logic goes, a healthy citizen is a happy citizen. This is a classic case of technology enhancing the lives of people and improving the happiness index.
For the above example of connected traffic to be realized, environment and health data must be integrated across multiple disparate systems. Here, IoT will be instrumental in collating the data from individual smart city siloes and creating interconnected and meaningful services for the citizens.
The various individual smart city deployments like smart mobility, smart lighting, and smart workspace will improve efficiency and governance. However, to derive maximum value out of them, it's critical to consolidate the data swamp and convert them into cognitive intelligence that benefits people. In other words, a way to render data into happiness.
Imagine if weather forecast data is interconnected to temperature and water data; this can help in the responsible use of limited resources to improve efficiency and reduce downtime. Similarly, imagine having your complete transportation network integrated into a single, sophisticated app that gives intelligent insights into deciding the mode of commute that is faster, more convenient, and closer to the destination. This would help improve productivity and avoid unnecessary delays. Once again, a convenient and comfortable commute equals happy commute, and happiness will ultimately lead to improved productivity at work.
Additionally, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will improve the end-user experience through trend analysis. With artificial intelligent technologies like Alexa and Siri becoming an integral part of many homes and lives, the impact of AI and ML is expected to ameliorate the quality of services even outside our homes, and in the larger picture, city operations.
Big data streamlined by IoT, together with AI can allow apps that act as intelligent virtual assistants to help citizens navigate the city with ease, get things done quickly, and keep them informed on all of their preferences based on User Behavior Analytics (UBA). There is ample opportunity for engineering solution providers and service channels to use the data clutter to craft meaningful insights and applications for smart and sustainable cities in the Middle East.
As the saying goes, happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life, and to achieve consistent happiness for its people, governments and utility departments are gearing to embrace technology and tools that eventually create smart, convenient, and financially viable environments, turning our cities into smart cities of the future.
