Half of Mekong Delta to be lost under sea level: research
Sunday, October 27, 2019 15:01
Subsidence and overexploitation of underground water have been popular in Mekong Delta region (Photo: VNA).
Hanoi (VNA) - The Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, an area that helps feed about 200 million people, is predicted to sink underwater by 2100.
In the past 25 years, Mekong Delta and the communities, cities and rice fields that depend on it, have faced grave risks of higher tides, alluvium sediment starvation, saline intrusion, fresh water shortage, and serious landslides.
According to Dr. Philip Minderhoud from the Utrecht University, the delta, home to almost 18 million people and produces half of Vietnam's rice output, is only around 1-2 metres above the sea level. And if heavy extraction of ground water and sand mining continue, the land will probably sink into the sea by 2100.
Rising tides, loss of naturally replenishing alluvium sediment
The scientist, head the "Rise and Fall: strategies for the subsiding and urbanizing Mekong Delta facing increasing salt water intrusion" project, said that the area is currently only 80 centimetres above the local sea level, approximately two metres lower than international researchers previously thought.
Scientific evidence also proves that compared to a climate-change driven sea level rise of 3-5 millimetres a year, there is a land subsidence of 2-3 centimetres in many coastal areas due to ground water extraction, loading of urban infrastructure and intensive drainage of the shallow subsurface.
The rapid growth of subsidence makes the salinization, flooding and coastal landslide in the delta event more urgent, Minderhoud said.
Tides and salinity in the Mekong Delta are increasing rapidly. The increase in the tidal amplitude is 40 percent over the last 10 years due to the fact that river beds are on average 2-3 metres deeper because of alluvium sediment starvation.
According to Minderhoud, the decreasing alluvia sedimentation loads of the Mekong River as a result of upstream dam building, together with the excessive sand mining downstream in the delta, is seen as a major driver for deepened river bed and eroded river banks.
Besides, overexploitation of underground water and construction along riverbanks have made the subsidence situation become more serious, let alone changes in tidal amplitude and river bed's depth that increase the salinity level in the delta.
No subsidence was observed in Mekong Delta before 1990s. However, today, when one stands at the seaside, he may mistake the lower land for rising sea level, the scientist said.
Minderhoud attributed changes in tidal amplitude to climate change, adding that tidal amplitude rose significantly during 2008-2018, and human activities are driving short-term impact that far outstrips current climate change effects.

Underground water exhausted, high costs predicted for future
Besides intense subsidence and increase in tidal amplitude and saline intrusion, Minderhoud said that ground water is being extracted excessively for local production.
This could result in depletion of aquifers, while the recharge for water stocking is very little due to impermeable layers in the subsoil. As a consequence of extraction, the water from salty aquifers intrudes into the freshwater reserves.
With current subsidence, for each cubic metre of fresh ground water that is extracted from the aquifers, another 12 cubic metres of fresh water will get too salty for consumption. Therefore, if there is no good control, the fresh groundwater reserve in the Mekong Delta region will last for only 100 years. Besides, the subsidence level will be more serious, the Dutch researcher said.
According to the expert, if the ground water extraction continues to grow 2 percent each year, the Mekong Delta will sink under the sea level by 2100.
If pumping keeps its speed like today, local people will have to pay high costs for water treatment and preservation of agricultural lands, Minderhoud stressed.
Resolving subsidence problems
Minderhoud believed that it's time for Vietnam to outline urgent action plan to handle the root cause of the problems, namely ground water exploitation and sand mining.
Upgrading flood breaking system, good delta planning, plantation of mangrove forests, and building comprehensive irrigational systems in the region are highly recommended.
They are not only aimed at environmental protection but also socio-economic benefit and water security. If the problems are not solved today, the region will have to spend a lot in the future, he warned.
Meanwhile, Dutch Ambassador to Vietnam Elsbeth Akkerman affirmed that the fertile Mekong Delta region is experiencing critical subsidence, increase of tidal amplitude and alluvium sediment starvation. Competent agencies and authorities need to work together to settle the issues.
Sand mining and ground water extraction should be put into consideration in the delta planning, she said, suggesting that the Vietnamese Government take timely actions to prevent more serious situations.
As a low-lying country, the Netherlands stands ready to accompany Vietnam to adopt a systematic approach towards sustainable development in Mekong Delta.
The Netherlands can further support the Vietnamese initiatives with experiences and expertise to implement the new planning law, create a new coordination mechanism, and design a Delta Fund and transform agricultural practices./.

The fight against the black market, the roster of gambling addicts and taxes: a round table of experts
Experts of the Ukrainian gambling market traditionally gathered at a round table. The main topic of discussion is the fight against the black market. How can legal operators help in the fight against illegal immigrants? And how many people asked KRAIL to protect themselves from gambling? Watch this exclusive Gamingpost.net report.
By the end of 2022, the proportion of legal business to the black market will be 70 to 30%. Such forecasts are given by Boris Baum at the traditional round table of Ukrainian gambling experts. The fight against illegal immigrants is the main topic of the meeting.
"An interactive map will be created on the KRAIL website, where it will be like a quest: find an illegal hall and declare it. If three times there is no reaction of law enforcement agencies to this place, then they will bear criminal responsibility. The person who works in this area," - says Boris Baum.
Boris Baum calls on operators and market players to unite in the fight against illegal immigrants.
"We were all frightened that as soon as a legal business appeared in Ukraine, we would again have grandmothers who would lose their apartments. Over the past year, I have not heard a single piece of news that someone has lost something, especially grandmothers. But there may be such cases. But not because of legal business, but because of illegal. And we need to fight against him," - says Mykola Melnyk, head of the Ukrainian Gambling & Betting Association.
"Some people say they don't want to register, they don't want to show their passport. This is a problem for them. I understand that we cannot fight this problem in any way. I do not think that it needs to be leveled. It's correct to register players. But we will still promote the white market through joint efforts. And I hope that those players who did not want to register their data will change their minds," - says Oleg Kononchuk, CEO of Slots City.
The legal market protects the rights of players, experts say. KRAIL has already launched an experimental register of gambling addicts. During the entire period of its work, the Commission received only three applications to protect people from the game. And the working groups have already prescribed the requirements for combating gambling addiction.
"There are certain practical requirements that we recommend applying. The order of non-admission is currently being agreed in the working group on gambling addiction, and today we will send the procedure for compensation to the working group on gambling addiction," - says Mikhail Koval, head of the All-Ukrainian Union for the Development of Bookmaking.
Operators themselves are interested in not letting gamblers into their casinos, says John Harrack, a member of the board of directors of Storm International. Most foreigners are welcome in legal casinos. But for them to come to Kyiv, the tax code needs to be changed.
"If you tell a guest that you can only bring $1,700 and you have to pay 19.5% in taxes when you win, they will go to Georgia. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is," - says John Harrack, member of the board of directors of Storm International.
The amendments to the draft law on changes in taxation are already ready. Boris Baum says: in the first reading for 2713-D, the Parliament will vote in the last session of the summer. The second reading will take place in the fall. That is why direct taxes from gambling should not be expected this year.
"There will be no tax revenues this year because tax changes have not been adopted. Indirect budget receipts, which are calculated in our repairs, in the construction of hotels, in hotel renovations, inside services, in additional salaries, in personal income tax, in advertising, and so on - these amounts amount to tens of billions of hryvnias. This is something that no one sees," - says Boris Baum.

Q: Mysql date ok but signaled as incorrect I am trying to insert the date below into my TIMESTAMP column but it's unexpectedly signaled as incorrect format by mysql :
INSERT INTO `assets`( `updated_at`) VALUES ('2022-03-27 02:12:31.217573')

If i add or substract one day or one hour then the date is executed without error.
I going crazy ^^
Thx for your help
mysql version : 5.7.36

A: timestamp columns are weird.  They effectively store a utc time, but on input and output convert to the timezone of the connection.  Presumably you are using a timezone that has daylight savings where the second after 2022-03-27 01:59:59 is 2022-03-27 03:00:00, so your entered time is invalid.
If you intend to be storing times that are already in UTC (which you should!) you need to set your timezone appropriately.  See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/time-zone-support.html.  But be aware that then all previously entered times will appear to change.
I much prefer to use datetime columns which will store and show exactly the data entered, though they have their own quirks.

Minister reveals plans to bring in 'daytime out of hours'
By Gareth Iacobucci
The Government is considering introducing a 'daytime out of hours' system to get round obstacles to abolishing GP practice boundaries, the health minister has revealed.
Speaking at the RCGP conference in Glasgow, Mike O'Brien said it may be possible for GPs to relinquish responsibility for daytime home visits for patients who chose to register at practices far away from their home.
Responsibility would fall on third party providers such as existing out-of-hours companies.
But the plans came under a barrage of criticism from GPs, who claimed the move is unworkable and will damage patient care.
Mr O'Brien was forced to defend plans to scrap boundaries, after GPs from the audience warned they risked jeopardizing the holistic nature of general practice.
The minister admitted details of how the plans will work in practice still needed much ironing out but attempted to reassure GPs by saying he did not expect many patients to move practices.
Mr O'Brien said: 'The reason we're doing this, is not because we believe large numbers of patients are going to start switching from one practice to another. I don't think that's likely to happen. Most people will stay with the GP they currently have.
'But we do know that some people, particularly younger people, who are working in a big city, may want a GP in the centre of the city.
He added: 'That will produce the issues of how you arrange visits. That will need to be worked through in detail as to how that will be delivered. It could be through a daytime out-of-hours service, there are a number of ways in which this could be delivered. The patients who make those decisions to move GPs will have to bear in mind who they want to visit them at home.
'I know some people will be concerned, but patients want that element of choice.'
But GPs from the audience were left unimpressed with the claims. Dr Chris Walker, a GP in Wolverhampton, received a round of applause from delegates after expressing his concern at the plans.
Dr Walker said: 'If we're going to have a holistic view of patient care, with an emphasis on palliative care, and if we're really keen on training GPs, part of that is going to be in the home. How will we be able to visit patients if they need, for example, palliative care, if they live 5-10 miles away?'
RCGP chair Professor Steve Field told Pulse that while he was open to discussing the abolition of practice boundaries, he was not in favour of a 'daytime out-of-hours' arrangement.
He said: 'When I was in Australia, I saw GPs give up visits during the day. To me, this was not a good use of local health resources, and fractured the continuity of care that was needed.'

Dear students, it has been a pleasure to be your teacher these past years. I remember with fondness your first discoveries of the joy of Shakespeare in Room 116 as we performed Romeo and Juliet together. I remember, perhaps with less fondness, how I terrified Javy and others of you on my first day teaching you. I remember field trips downtown, college visits, compass group mafia games, and many, many other things with great fondness. It is with great joy that I address you on this, the capstone day of your academic career thus far. You stand at the pinnacle of one achievement looking at the rest of your life ahead of you.
As you enter life as adults, I feel certain that you will be charged to "bring the light of Christ." Specifically, though, what does it mean to bring the light of Christ? In this time, I could point out that you are particularly equipped to those who Christ called "The least of these". I could point out that your reading and practice here has particularly prepared you to proclaim the gospel. I could point out that your preparation here has particularly suited you to enter a world where immorality is cherished and redeem that world. I want, however, to show how you are particularly well-prepared to address three other challenges facing our world.
First: Fractured Communities. Our communities are fractured and broken. The people within them are distanced from one another (this separation runs deeper than just the social distancing policies with which we are now all familiar). The people in our communities have neither the close knit community of the monastery or the guild, nor the civic duty and sense of camaraderie of the earlier decades of our own country. Neighbors not only don't speak to one another, they don't even know one another. We live in a society which not only cannot love its neighbors, but doesn't even know its neighbors down the street. A society which even has a hard time envisioning a world in which true community exists.
You have been given the vision of what redeemed community looks like. You have seen the way a community operates as you have been members of the WCA community. You have read books like To Kill a Mockingbird, Life Together, and The City of God that cast this vision for you. This will require you to take steps that will make you feel uncomfortable, because people who seek to build genuine community in our society are frequently socially uncomfortable. The way to go about this is also to do the uncomfortable things – meet your neighbors; talk to, cry with, build up, and listen to your friends; host meals and eat with others (even in a dorm room), build community in a thousand small ways.
You are all equipped to do this: I see that equipping in the tutoring you have done as you participated in our community by helping younger students. I have seen it in your desire to encourage and build up one another, younger students, and your teachers. I have seen it in your service in the kindergarten classrooms and other Grammar School classrooms. I have seen it in your senior theses where you thought deeply and carefully about precisely this activity. Don't let this preparation go to waste – do the hard work of building community wherever you find yourself.
Second: A World Without Imagination, Wonder, or the capacity to appreciate Beauty. Our society's conception of the world has neither the color of Chaucer, nor the mystery of Lewis. People in our society do not love beauty. Folks around us don't care about it because they haven't seen enough of it. Their environments are filled with ugly, practical things. They have been made to live in cities and buildings which are designed not for beauty, but for efficiency with much of the same mindset as that used to design particularly inhumane dairy farms. The language they speak has none of the imagery of Shakespeare nor the tripping lightness of Frost. To people who speak a purely utilitarian language, the beauty of Christ as the Word makes no sense whatsoever. If people do not know what beauty is, they will not desire it. If they do not desire beauty, they will not create or contemplate it. Without beauty, the people perish. "Sin is the receding of the soul from the beautiful" – Gregory of Nyssa
Yet you have the ability to see the world as miraculous; to see the world as George Herbert did:
The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
You also have the ability to create this beauty all around you. You have practiced this with Mrs. Halleland and Mrs. Ziegler. You have studied from those who are greatest at this – Homer, Michelangelo, Milton, Bach, and Monet. I see you creating and loving this beauty in your writing, in your music, in your art, and in your dance. Continue to do so. The creation of beauty is not a hobby or a secondary task, it is vitally important to make us fully human.
Third: Metaphysically Misled. Those around us do not know who they are or what their place is in the kingdom of God. They question even the nature of reality, but are too intellectually indolent to ponder what the true implications of that may be. This is not to disparage anyone, but to point out that as a society, intellectual indolence is valued. People in our society are not only metaphysically misled, but dangerously metaphysically lazy.
As the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe has said, we live in a world where "things fall apart." The philosophical basis for understanding and interacting with reality has been taken away by men like Derrida and Beckett. Aquinas, Augustine, and Plato have been left behind. We must call people back to a world where truth is valued and where inquiry and the quest for truth is both acknowledged as hard and yet daily attempted.
You have been prepared to address this dangerous lack of truth in the world around you. You have read and considered the deepest thinkers of the Western World. You have written so much that your writing is precise, efficient, and logical; an excellent vehicle to communicate and seek after truth. You have sought for truth in class debates, in socratic discussions, in essays, and in presentations. Keep seeking for truth, and keep inspiring others to do it as well.
A warning before I wrap up: You have well-sharpened intellects. You have been given all of the necessary tuning, sharpening, and oiling. You have been prepared in all the right ways. Sharp tools, however, can be used for the wrong ends. It does not matter how much you sharpen the axe, if you use it to cut a hole in the boat, you will still drown. Use what you have been given in the right way and for the right purposes.
Calvin, who is always ready with a witty remark and a wise word
Morgan, who is always full of joy and who brings that joy to others
Jayna, who motivates us to excellence because of her passion to pursue it.
Javy, who is unceasingly kind to everyone, regardless of circumstances
Danny, whose writing is sharper than a knife
Stephen, who blends wit and a search for the truth in an incredibly winsome manner
Benjamin, who leads others well in every situation
Olivia, who loves and shares beauty in all she does
Priscilla, whose passion for Christian service is always evident
Abby, whose big laugh and big heart blesses everyone with whom she comes in contact
Eden, whose ability to build relationships and encourage others amazes me
and Helen, who thinks deeply and creates meaningful beauty as a result
It is for you that I give you this last charge which is especially dear to my heart: Continue to learn, be life-long learners. Search out truth with a vigor unfamiliar and strange to your contemporaries. If you do not continue to learn, you waste what you have learned so far. Learning which does not lead to more learning and more of a desire to seek out is sterile, useless, and wasted. Learn not only because it helps you to achieve other things, that is the vacuous route of Pragmatism. Learn as an end in itself.

They built an outdoor kitchen/living area where I had an existing small deck. Their design was beautiful and they jumped through all of the hoops to get it permitted through the city (no small deal). They kept the project moving as expected and the only delays were weather related. Their workers were efficient and pleasant to deal with . Christine, the office manager, was wonderful and whenever I had a question, she had the answer within a day. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking to renovate or build a new outdoor living area.
Great experience all around – really pleased with my new deck and pergola!
We were absolutely thrilled with the quality of Mark Mommsen's design, timeliness, responsiveness, and attention to detail. He made a major undertaking as we completely overhauled our backyard seem easy. Mark the carpenter also deserves a huge pat on the back and I hope he's taken care of well. He couldn't have been more professional, thorough, and caring in his efforts to meet our every request even down to the details of the matching sandbox. We'd hire both Marks again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone considering a back yard overhaul or carpentry project. Thank you!!!
I contacted 5 area businesses to get educated and to obtain a bid for an outdoor kitchen. Mr. Jim Odom, owner of Archadeck of Austin, was far and away the most professional, personable, experienced and responsive. His experience proved to be invaluable. His recommendations were solid. His explanation of all aspects of the process was right on target. His involvement in the project was greatly appreciated. He ran interference, even going so far as to make recommendations as to a color scheme that would go with our backyard. A totally outstanding experience from start to finish. We are ecstatic with the results. Our neighbors have expressed how this kitchen "completes" our backyard. Thanks Jim. Great job.
Had heard of Archadeck after years of living in Lakeway. Also, Dan S. was very helpful in helping figure out a design plan for our particular project….where there were limited options. We also had lots of little things that needed redoing throughout the project and I appreciated Wes, Casey and Dan working with us and making sure we were taken care of, even if it was a pain. We would definitely use ya'll again.
We had an issue with the final inspection and required a variance even though the project was built to exact specifications as approved by the city permit. Your staff went above and beyond in getting this situation rectified. My thanks to all.
My wife and I were very impressed with the way this small project was handled. Mark kept us informed at all stages of the project. He followed up on very small details. We had no previous contact with Archadeck and received no referrals. But we were very impressed with Mark's understanding of our needs and his excellent recommendations. After meeting with him, we did not contact any other construction company. The Carpenter did an excellent job and he was extremely skilled and professional. Over the years, we have dealt with many contractors and Archadeck was the most positive experience. We would highly recommend your company.
Mark and the whole team were wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our screened porch. I aplologive for not remembering the construction mgr and carpenter's names (and for butchering the spelling of Mark's last name) but they were all great.
Archadeck of Austin took our pencil sketches and turned them into a beautiful outdoor living space that is far nicer than we had envisioned. They listened to our requests and came back with drawings and price options. They were a pleasure to work with, and their attention to detail and quality is evident in the finished work. We are quite pleased with the work.
The pergola was exactly what we wanted. Customer service was excellent! Have found that to be really lacking with other companies here in Austin. Christine M at office and Jim were great. Carpenter was top notch. Long process until finish, but happy with final project.
I've already referred you to several friends. We love Jimmy and the design of our outdoor patio! Thank You!.
I like that our patio is custom to use the available space and designed to meet our needs. It is functional and beautiful and will remain that way for years to come.
….I just give this company 5 stars all the way around. Every single person I've dealt with Archadeck have all been very friendly, professional and very easy to work with. I just can't say enough about this company. I didn't get one of their big fancy decks. Mine was a smaller one but looks very professional, rustic and it is so nice!
Recently had are back patio extended and a covered pergola placed with fireplace by Archadeck of Austin.The company is great, very thorough and detailed focused. Jim Schallon was very professional and able to answer any and all questions that I had concerning the project. Jim is one of the most organized people I know. This company provided us with a detailed breakdown of project cost and expected complete times. We wanted a few modifications to the project and they accommodated us very easily. All in all, this is a great company and we had a wonderful experience with them.
My wife and I interviewed three companies for our project and are so glad that we selected Archadeck of Austin. Jimmy, the owner, listens attentively and was highly responsive to our needs and wants. The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations and is going to provide us years of joy. Thank you!

Major roads:
Meet fellow hitchhikers on Trustroots
Stuttgart is the capital of the German federal state Baden-Württemberg.
Hitchhiking out
North towards Heilbronn, Mannheim, Würzburg, Nürnberg
Possibility 1
Esso petrol station Heilbronnerstr: From Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) take Metro U5, U6 or U7 just one stop to "Stadtbibliothek". Leave the station in driving direction and walk about 100 metres up the hill. On the right side there is the petrol station where many people fill their tanks before they're entering the motorway.
You can also stay some meters before the petrol station. There is a little green area and after that a departure for a car park or something like this. With a good sign you get lots of the traffic out of Stuttgart heading towards the motorway and they can stop quite easily. Took me one hour at a Friday to get a straight ride to Würzburg.
From Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) take Metro 15/7 to "Borsigstraße". When you leave the train, there is one petrol station in front of you (direction of the train) . Most of the cars that stop there go on the motorway ("Autobahn") A81
When you are on motorway (Autobahn) A 81 you can jump off on the resting place called "Wunnenstein" that has also a petrol station and is between Stuttgart and Heilbronn or rather the departure to motorway (Autobahn) A 6. From there you can get rides to the north or west. But there I sometimes had to wait longer (about 45 minutes in average) to get a ride to the north because a lot of cars are going to the west.
East towards München, Ulm
Löffelstraße
Hitchhiking spot Löffelstraße
Löffelstraße/Stuttgart-Degerloch (B27 that leads to A8 München-Karlsruhe) – From Hauptbahnhof (Main Station), you can take the metro U5 (Leinfelden), U6 (Fasanenhof), or U12 (Möhringen/Vaihingen) and exit at the stop Degerloch. Leave the station and go West towards big omnibus station, then cross the big street at the traffic light, and walk on straight until you reach the start of a turn lane
This one is also a good spot to go south on the B27 towards Tübingen/Reutlingen, to the airport, and it might also work for all other directions (according to the license plates of passing cars).
If you are going to Munchen from Stuttgart you will need to go on highway 8, take care not to go on highway 7 because you will get stuck there if somebody leaves you on some rest place or petrol station after Ulm. You can not get to Munchen from anywhere on highway 7 because everyone is going in a different direction. If you are stuck there you will need to ask a driver to just move you on to some other place from where you can catch ride to highway 8.
South towards Singen and West towards Karlsruhe
It is perhaps best to check the hitch map also as there have been numerous stories of these points being hard to leave. There is only one rest station between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. Getting to Strasbourg and beyond is a little tricky as there's no rest stations on the route down between Karlsruhe and Strasbourg apart from ones that are off the route. The German autobahn is much more frequented, it seems, but regardless, try to get a straight ride from before Karlsruhe to Strasbourg.
Stuttgart-Vaihingen
Motorway on-ramp "Stuttgart-Vaihingen" (A831 that leads to A8/A81) – From Hauptbahnhof (Main Station), you can take S-Bahn train S1 (Böblingen/Herrenberg), S2 or S3 (Flughafen/Filderstadt), and exit at the stop Vaihingen. Leave the station to the right (direction of the train) and walk straight past the place to "Robert-Koch-Straße". There you turn right and continue on to "Hauptstraße", where you turn left and follow the street until you reach the motorway on-ramp.
You can wait there with a sign on the striped road markings. This is not the best place, as it is illegal for cars to stop there (nonetheless, it is likely that they will, because they cannot go very fast here). Also, you may attract attention from the police, as it is also illegal to stand there.
This one is a good spot to go south and west, but it might also work to get a ride east towards München. The A831 motorway leads directly to the A8/A81 interchange "Kreuz Stuttgart" that connects all directions.
Stuttgart-Österfeld
Car park "Stuttgart-Österfeld This is an alternative to "Stuttgart-Vaihingen". You also take the S1 in the direction of Böblingen/Herrenberg or the S2, S3 in the direction of Flughafen/Filderstadt but you get of at the stop "Österfeld". This is just one stop in front of "Vahingen". There are two pedestrian-bridges connected to the trainstop. When you get of the S-Bahn turn left and take the bridge that the train passed first. It is connected to a multi-story car park. The car park is just a couple of hundred meters away from the motorway entry. A lot of people are using the car park and take the S-Bahn into the city centre to avoid the traffic. Especially if the local football/soccer team is playing or if there is a similar event in town you should easily get a lift asking the people driving out of the car park. Obviously there are a lot more people leaving the car park in the evening but you should get a lift during the daytime as well.
Just outside the car park is a roundabout so you can try to get there a lift too.
Or you turn right at the exit of the car park. 100 meters down the road are some traffic lights. All the cars on the left lane are driving directly onto the motorway. You can easily ask them if you can get a lift or use a sign.
Stuttgart-Denkendorf
About 15 km south-east of Stuttgart on the A8 there is the service station Denkendorf. Lots of cars are passing by here coming from the direction of Munich, lots of them going to Stuttgart but many also going further on the A8 or A81. The station can be reached by taking the U7 metro to Nellingen Ostfildern (which is the last stop), and from there bus 119 to Denkendorf. Leave the bus at Rathaus. The journey takes about 50 minutes from Stuttgart central station, costs eur 3.60 and normally there is a connection at least every 20 minutes. If it is more practical for you, bus 119 also departs from Essingen Hbf.
From Rathaus bus stop, go back 20 meters, then take a half left turn into Kirchstraße, follow it for about 1 km. Then again a half left turn into Friedhofstraße, follow it out of the village along the cemetery. Take the second to the left (still Friedhofstraße), follow it up the hill (keeping to the left), and after a small hill you will reach the service station. To avoid frustration when asking the drivers, note that cars whose German number plate starts with the single letter S are registered in Stuttgart and will probably end their journey there
South towards Konstanz
When you cross Stuttgart than it is not so easy to go down to Konstanz with high way 81. You have every 20 or 30 km petrol stations with a lack of traffic. A lot of people are going to small places and they will go out from high way so you ask them and check if there is any petrol station before they went in their direction. On petrol stations you must go and ask drivers because you will not have so much opportunity to catch ride. When you get closer to Konstanz, maybe 50 km before a lot of drivers will go to Switzerland but you can try from there back to Konstanz. If the dark falls than it will be more difficult because traffic more reduce, so just be prepared.
Take S1 direction Herrenberg and drop of at Nurfringen. When leaving the Train, go direction Wiesengrund and from there go through the forest to the Schönbuch petrol station. Baam! You are at A81 direction South! Have fun!!! https://goo.gl/maps/eBnBq

Why Is Google Unhappy About Getting "Verbed?"
The first recorded usage of "Google" used as a verb was on July 8, 1998, by Larry Page, who wrote on a mailing list: "Have fun and keep googling!"
"Google" was officially verbed in the Oxford English Dictionary on June 15, 2006 and to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary in July, 2006.
I firmly believe that having the public utter your company name as a verb is like going to heaven without the inconvenience of dying. Getting "verbed" is the ultimate accomplishment for any brand – the marketer's Shangri-la.
But Google doesn't see it that way. Its legal department isn't happy about getting "verbed" probably because they've bought into the myth that a company risks losing its trademark when it becomes a common figure of speech.
As marketer, I have a completely different point-of-view.
Getting verbed may put Google's legal trademark at risk, but it undeniably has a positive impact on the company's brand. I always favor sacrificing one legal battle if it ultimately leads to winning the marketing war ;-)
One of the things I'm certain of is that when a brand gets verbed, its name becomes automatically (and indelibly) etched deep into our unconscious minds. It's true – from a legal perspective, the trademark of the company is diluted over time.
But from a marketing perspective, a verbed brand tends to stay at the top of our minds forever. This is the same Top Of Mind Awareness (TOMA) that national advertisers – like Google – work hard for and a pay a lot to acquire every year.
Actually, Google's legal department should be jumping for joy for getting verbed. It's an honor, not an insult. Just think of the trillions of dollars (that's trillion with a T) in free publicity the company will attract through sustainable, organic word-of-mouth marketing.
By getting verbed, Google joins the ranks of other world-recognized brands such as Xerox, Hoover, Kleenex, Phillips and Coke. (Google's TOMA Score is probably higher than the other five mega-brands combined!)
Verbed Brand Examples: Whenever I want to photocopy a document, I say, "I'm going to Xerox it." I have a British friend who says, "I'm going to Hoover the carpet," which is verbed-speak for saying, "I'm going to clean the carpet."
Imagine: Xerox is the verb interchangeable with paper copying (their brand) and Hoover is the verb for cleaning carpets (their brand). I'm not saying "a" verb. I'm saying "the" verb.
If this marketing miracle ever happens to you in your lifetime, I hope you welcome it and embrace it!
And what about you? How many times have you unconsciously asked for a Kleenex when you wanted tissue paper, or a Phillips screwdriver, when you wanted a 4-tip crosshead?
It happens all the time to me.
Why Google Is A Verb: When I think of Google, I don't think of a person, place or thing. The Google brand is not a noun, it's a verb. The company's Market Cap of nearly $100 billion is derived because of what it does, not what it is.
Look, when you type-in Google.com into your browser, you don't get much value. In fact, their home page is remarkably simple and offers you less than 10 links to click which are:
Advanced Search, Preferences, Language Tools, Advertising Programs, Business Solutions, About Google, Make Google Your Homepage, Privacy.
But when you google (verbed) a keyword phrase or image or location or whatever, the value you get from the company is massive and unmatched by any other website on earth.
When I google my name – "Alex Mandossian" – I get over 125,000 results in just 0.21 seconds at the time of this post. Just about everything you'd want to know about me (and don't want to know about me) appears in 1/5th of a second. Amazing!
Google Options: As of today, Google offers 24 free search tools such as Book Search, Blog Search, Google Maps, Patent Search, Product Search and others; 14 free communication tools such as Google Calendar, Gmail, Orkut, YouTube, as well as free software tools.
As a marketer, teacher, father, brother, son, husband, friend, colleague (or any other role I live into during my day), I will typically google for stuff I'm looking for at least 70-150 times a day.
What To Do Now: Click here to see the complete list of Google products. If you think you know what Google offers, think again! I bet you never knew how many world-class services, products and tools Google offers you for free!
When your done checking out the Google Options page, please give me your comments in the Reply Box below.
Epilogue: I recently read a WebWatch article written by Will Sturgeon on August 14, 2006. I'm still scratching my head after reading the opening paragraph:
"Internet search giant Google has said it intends to crack down on the use of its brand name as a generic verb, saying phrases such as 'to google' somebody or something are potentially damaging to its brand."
Will Sturgeon goes on to report:
A spokeswoman for Google said: "We think it's important to make the distinction between using the word Google to describe using Google to search the internet and using the word Google to generally describe searching the internet. It has some serious trademark issues."
I'm scratching my head because I'm wondering how the management of one of the world's most valuable companies can confuse their company's trademark with their company's brand. The two concepts are not interchangeable.
"The map is not the territory." That's what Polish-American philosopher Alfred Korzybski (1879-1950) said when asked about the difference between content ("map") and context ("territory").
The same is true with trademarks and bands. For Google, or any other world-class company, a trademark is like a map and worth protecting, but not at the expense of owning the territory (brand).

GT Chairman Martin Whiteley writes about the challenges facing geoconservation.
He was invited to write this article for GovToday, the online newsletter for local government, in the run up to a major conference to be held in June, that will bring together all interested parties from government, academia and the environment sector to look at implementation of the new White Paper on the environment, The Natural Choice.
This article, written by Dr Martin Whiteley, outlines the challenges facing geoconservation groups as they juggle the need to identify and care for Local Geological Sites whilst communicating something of the awe and wonder of our geological heritage to members of the public.
It is based on a presentation that Martin gave at the recent Geologists' Association Conference in Worcester on behalf of The Geology Trusts and GeoConservationUK, organisations that support about 60 geoconservation groups operating across the UK.
Whilst the geoconservation movement started in the UK more than 50 years ago it is largely through the increasing involvement of county-based groups over the last two decades that so much tangible progress has been achieved. Starting from the need for the then Nature Conservancy Council to have local partners willing to help them defend statutory sites of national importance (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) from losses to development pressure, the principle of recognising non-statutory Local Geological Sites was devised. Since then about 60 local geoconservation groups have, with varying degrees of success, audited and designated some 4,000 sites across England, Scotland and Wales.
Although site-specific work was the foundation for local groups, many have moved far beyond this. For example, some have produced Geodiversity Action Plans (GAPs) and organised appropriate partnerships to monitor and deliver them. GAPs provide an outlet and context for a range of geoconservation initiatives, such as site clearance and improved access, whilst offering guidance to planners, landowners and local communities on the benefits and advantages of good conservation practice. They may also promote geotourism through guided walks, geo-trails, rock art and sculpture.
Other groups have gained access to external funding, enabling them to leverage their voluntary effort and make major contributions to broader collaborative projects such as the creation of geoparks and the assessment of English building stones. During the period 2003-11 more than 30 projects were carried out with the support of ALSF grants totaling £1.5M. Supplemented by in-kind contributions worth a further £0.5M, mostly in the form of volunteer time, these projects provided 30 short-term jobs and 25 man-years of work.
It is clear that geoconservation groups have achieved a tremendous amount over the last 20 years through the powerful combination of unstinting voluntary effort and carefully targeted funding. Regrettably it is equally obvious that less money will be available in the future now that national funding sources such as ALSF, Natural England and Scottish Natural Heritage have redeployed their capital and all the regional and local grant-providers are under similar financial pressure. Add to this the evident lack of Government support for our work – witness the recent White Paper on the natural environment that fails to even mention geodiversity – and we are forced to conclude that the recent achievements of local groups cannot be replicated in the near future.
This situation presents a new set of challenges. We will have to respond by finding different ways of working, perhaps through seeking to exchange skills and work-in-kind within collaborative partnerships, rather than pursuing ever-diminishing funds for geoconservation projects. Reinforcing this trend is the shift towards a broad-based ecological and 'green-corridor' approach, typically at the landscape scale, a focus predicated by the emergence of Local Nature Partnerships and National Character Areas.
The big question is how will local geoconservation groups respond to this new financial and strategic backdrop? Some will identify what goods and services they can provide within this framework, but temper their ambitions according to the increased reliance that will inevitably fall on their geo-volunteer workforce. Others may decide to concentrate mainly on the needs and interests of their membership and acknowledge that their capacity for public outreach in all its varied forms is limited. Regrettably, some groups may even fold as the financial burden of hosting a website or hiring a meeting venue finally hits home.
Despite these uncertainties my sense is that the geoconservation movement does have some grounds for optimism as it moves forward. Geologists are trained to have a long perspective and they are certainly well versed in the notion of adaptation to change. There are already signs that closer collaboration, a sharper focus on what is really important and a willingness to engage with those who, quite frankly, think that rocks are rather dull, will lead us in productive and interesting directions.

The cool of law
According to the 2006 census, explains recent McGill Law graduate Keith Serry, the average Montreal artist makes about $29,600 per year. According to the Canadian Bar Association, he adds, the average hourly rate for a lawyer in Canada is $254. "It doesn't take long to put those two numbers together and realize there's a gap."

Student-run clinic offers legal services to Montreal's artistic community
By Pascal Zamprelli
According to the 2006 census, explains recent McGill Law graduate Keith Serry, the average Montreal artist makes about $29,600 per year. According to the Canadian Bar Association, he adds, the average hourly rate for a lawyer in Canada is $254.
"It doesn't take long to put those two numbers together and realize there's a gap."
About two years ago Serry and some classmates met in his living room and starting talking about how to bridge that gap. The result? La Clinique Juridique des Artistes de Montréal (CJAM), a "virtual organization" – they are hoping to eventually get the funding for office space – made up primarily of law students from all of Montreal's law faculties, that provides free legal information to the city's artistic community.
Before coming to Montreal in 2005, Serry had helped establish a musicians' lobby group in Ottawa, where he found that what many successful musicians had in common was that they had managed to hold on to the most valuable parts of their business – intellectual property and publishing rights – and thus make a good living. "But to do that," said Serry, "you have to know what those things are and you have to take advantage of them."
So Serry and his colleagues conceived of CJAM with the aim of encouraging creative people to take control, and advantage of, the "business part" of their careers.
"What we do is try and give artists the basic tools to understand how to go about exploiting their talents in a way that, hopefully, enables them to make a living from those talents."
To this end, CJAM offers three main "service lines": providing documentary information (fact sheets written in plain language on legal issues of interest to artists), running workshops for organizations such as festivals, art faculties or artist NGOs, and organizing monthly information sessions where artists can come in, discuss their legal questions and receive information from one of CJAM's trained jurists a few days later.
"The questions have been as varied as the art being made by the people who ask them," Serry said, noting they've dealt with issues touching on municipal law, corporate law, taxation and contracts, to name a few.
Sounds like pretty heavy stuff for volunteers ("satisfaction of a job well done, and the occasional cup of coffee" make up their compensation), but Serry, a self-described law geek, says "part of the reason we're doing law in our spare time is because we really like it. Everybody's pitching in because they buy into the goals of the organization."
Basically, combine law geeks and a love of art, and you get CJAM.
"We came together around a love for Montreal and its artistic community," said Serry. "We're all people who are convinced that art makes a really valuable contribution to our city, and who are also fortunate enough to have skills as jurists. We all think that Montreal is best served by the arts being vital and alive, and we can apply our juridical skills to make that happen."
The need for this kind of service stems from the fact artists often don't think about the business aspect of what they do until it's too late.
"The moment you put brush to canvas, you're starting a business," explained Serry. "You're opening a whole world of fascinating and complicated legal issues. And it's our hope that this service will help people to contemplate and prepare for those issues before they become problems," and costly ones at that.
Simply put, "a lot of musicians don't get into music wanting to learn the best ways to leverage their intellectual property. They want to make music."
With CJAM's help, they just might be able to do both.

. Until recently Toyotas hybrid system was untouchable due to patent protection anyone willing to use it had to pay huge license fees. Then the European and other JOEM successfully developed series hybrids at lower cost(48V), merged with turbocharged gdi downsized engines to achieve similar mileages and more power. In the end Toyota realized that their hybrid technology was becoming a "Galapagos syndrome" (like their mobile phone technology faced distinction against iPhones,android phone) and last month decided to share it (open source) with third party car makers who were willing to use it. So far only one Chinese startup has shown interest, lets see how it competes with the mainstream hybrid technology.
Neither. Yours truly enjoys playing the devil's advocate.
Agreed. The BMW I8 with a 1.5 L engine ( though it has an unrealistically inflated manufacturer price) defies Toyota logic and proves that hybrid powertains could be mated to a small turbocharged engines with excellent power and fuel efficiency (the 225e is a comparatively cheaper example). It is interesting to note that the 2019 Toyota Supra is a BMW Z4 in a different costume.
yeah - at least i am and i know for a fact asrock and presealover are ok too.
