USDA and Boehringer Ingelheim Expand Summer Research Opportunities for Veterinary Students
Veterinary student have the opportunity to work with USDA scientists to research emerging diseases with potential to affect animals and humans.
Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health
Boehringer Ingelheim and the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture are joining forces to offer veterinary students the opportunity to research diseases that could affect livestock and public health.
The collaboration expands the Boehringer Ingelheim-led Veterinary Scholars Program, which has provided stipends to more than 3,500 veterinary students in the last 30 years to pursue biomedical research.
The expansion will create opportunities for up to 12 students to spend the summer at one of nine USDA sites working with an ARS scientist on a research project in livestock infectious diseases. Boehringer Ingelheim and USDA will cover all costs for the students, including a monthly stipend and costs associated with traveling to and from their schools to the USDA centers.
"ARS employs world-renowned veterinarian scientists with a broad range of expertise in infectious diseases of animal and public health concern," said Roxann Motroni, DVM, PhD, USDA Agricultural Research Service national program leader for animal health. "This allows us to be responsive to emerging One Health disease threats by quickly implementing research needed to inform emergency response. Through this partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim's Veterinary Scholars Program, veterinary students across the country will have the opportunity to train with these leading veterinarian scientists."
USDA's funding for the program is part of the Agrosecurity Partnerships for Innovative Research, or ASPIRE platform, which aims to stimulate the entire bio and agro-defense research sector through strategic partnerships. The goal of this five-year partnership with the Veterinary Scholars Program is to enhance relationships with national and international veterinary schools by providing their students with collaborative research opportunities in ARS's specialized facilities. These facilities include the Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia, the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa, and the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, in Manhattan, Kansas.
"The next generation of scientists tasked with protecting the agricultural industry and the U.S. food supply will need a broad array of expertise because we don't know what the next global disease will be," said Alfonso Clavijo, DVM, PhD, NBAF director. "By offering students experiences in biocontainment facilities, the U.S. can help develop veterinarians and prepare the nation for a multitude of animal and zoonotic diseases."
The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, still under construction, will have biosafety level-2, -3 and -4 laboratories capable of holding large livestock with a mission to protect the U.S. against the threat and potential negative effects of transboundary, emerging and zoonotic animal diseases.
"In addition to developing real-world exposure to One Health—and the important intersection between animal and human health—we hope that this summer experience as Veterinary Scholars at USDA will serve as a source of inspiration for students, motivating them to pursue work that helps protect our animals, public health and the food supply," Motroni added.
After spending the summer conducting research and learning from USDA scientists, students will attend and present their work at the annual National Veterinary Scholars Symposium, to be hosted in 2022 by the University of Minnesota's College of Veterinary Medicine in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The USDA will join Boehringer Ingelheim, the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the National Institutes of Health to sponsor this annual symposium. It showcases research by several hundred veterinary students as part of their Veterinary Scholar Program internships at more than three dozen veterinary schools and agencies across the U.S.
"COVID-19, African Swine Fever and other recent outbreaks and pandemics have underscored the need for increased vigilance and understanding of transboundary threats to human and animal health," said Caroline Belmont, vice president, US Global Innovation and US Regulatory Affairs for Boehringer Ingelheim's Animal Health business. "Today's veterinary students will play a critical role in addressing our future challenges, and the hands-on experience, guidance and support we provide them now through the Veterinary Scholars Program—in particular, these opportunities to work with USDA researchers—represent an important investment in the future health of animals and humans."
About the Boehringer Ingelheim Veterinary Scholars Program
The Boehringer Ingelheim Veterinary Scholars Program was established more than 30 years ago to introduce first- and second-year veterinary medical students to biomedical research. At each participating school or agency, Boehringer Ingelheim Veterinary Scholars are assigned a mentor and laboratory. Each scholar conducts a hypothesis-driven research project. The research project is typically conducted over 10 to 12 weeks in the summer, with students presenting their work at the conclusion.

In all honesty I spent too long in bitterness and anger regarding the way I had been treated. I carried a burden of indignation and became a martyr of self righteousness over their behavior towards me. It made me ill. It made me burn up inside and seethe. For anyone who would listen I would tell the story of 'can you believe what they did/said/etc'.
Until I allowed myself to heal I couldn't see what a low energy state I had been living in for so long. My reaction to their behavior (anger, bitterness) was MY problem. I had every chance to say stop. No more. Moving on, thank you. But instead I almost clung on to the bad treatment because it served me at the time, to feel justified in living in that low energy state. It was their fault I was unhappy, angry, bitter. Even when I did walk away I still held on to that story. And those feelings.
When I became attuned to Reiki and started to heal myself, my blinkers started to gently fall away. I learnt through my daily self healing; self control, self esteem, self worth and importantly that I am in control of my energy. I chose myself how to react to anything and anyone. I felt conscious and connected. I learnt to own the feelings I was experiencing. And how to actually heal them.
I was able to learn how to mend bridges, with boundaries. I learnt how to forgive, to let go of the bitterness and anger. And importantly how to accept my own flaws of how I was a drama queen 👑, expecting people to be mind readers of how I was feeling and blowing things out of proportion – I was really wearing my bloody crown!
And all that healing didn't mean I started shitting rainbows and rode around on a pink cloud. It meant that I could experience peace. More love. More positivity. More abundance of all the delicious moments that make up my life. And I could finally see how much my EGO had held me back in wanting to believe I had every right to feel that way.
Feeling bad is never good. I am so very grateful that I got to learn the tools and lessons that I did, so that it could help me. And in turn allow me to help others, to also release and heal and to teach them how to start their own journey of healing.

Immigrant Labour Market Outcomes and Skills Differences in Canada
Post author By Wendy Cukier, Ryerson University, and Kevin Stolarick, Ryerson University and OCAD University
Immigrants more likely to be unemployed than Canadian-born adults, study finds
Immigrant workers were more likely to be unemployed than Canadian-born adults, even when other factors such as skill levels were taken into account, according to a new study published by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO).
The probability of being unemployed declined among immigrants with higher levels of literacy and numeracy skills, as it did for all adults, according to the study. When other controlling factors were considered, skill levels and immigrant status were both significant factors in determining employment status. On average, immigrants had lower skills scores than native-born Canadians.
"While skill level and education advance prospects for immigrants, the gap between immigrants and Canadian-born adults [found in this study] reinforces the results of other research, which suggest that significant barriers exist for immigrants," the report states.
The report, Immigrant Labour Market Outcomes and Skills Differences in Canada, is part of a series of reports published under the Research Initiative on Education and Skills, a research project led jointly by HEQCO and the Mowat Centre. It used the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Skills (PIAAC), a test of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, to better understand the effect of literacy and numeracy skills on the employment outcomes of immigrants and how they compare to those of Canadian-born workers.
The study found that immigrants were more likely to have a postsecondary degree than Canadian-born adults and were more likely to have an education in the science, technology, engineering and math disciplines. Immigrants had lower literacy and numeracy scores on the PIAAC test.
The findings suggest that new approaches to skills assessment might provide an alternative to other forms of assessing international credentials, which previous research has shown are undervalued in the Canadian labour market, the authors conclude. They note that microcredentials, which offer credentialing and evidence of specific skills at a much more fine-grained level than typical certificates and degrees, might offer an alternative to skills testing.
Immigrant Labour Market Outcomes and Skills Differences in Canada was written by Wendy Cukier, Ryerson University, and Kevin Stolarick, Ryerson University and OCAD University.

Vermont reminds me of northwoods Wisconsin: the piney smell of the woods, the blue eyed lakes. We heard a loon's eerie song and saw it leading its two young over the glassy water. We found the first wild strawberries (not yet sweet, but still exciting). The trillium are still blooming up here, except they are smaller and more intricately beautiful.
A couple nights ago, we stayed in a shelter on the top of Killington Mountain, our first major climb since Virginia, and watched the sun go down in the chilly evening. It felt good to push up the hill for 2,000 feet. Big climbs with big views are a great motivation for us.
My feet are healing from the monsoon, and the earth is slowly draining its puddles. My shoes officially reached dryness, after perhaps 200 miles of walking somewhere in the damp-to-wet spectrum. We have been blessed with the longest stretch yet of good weather on the trail: four days! May it last until Katahdin!
We had an excellent stay in Manchester Center… Thai curry, convenient resupply, and a friendly local outfitter who not only volunteered (!) to visually make sure my unwashed feet didn't have jungle rot, but had a hiker box loaded with just-expired energy bars, someone's leftover gourmet freeze dried food, a cute ballcap that will be my mosquito netting support, and a spare hiking pole for J, whose poles are in the shop being repaired. (A hiker box is a give-a-penny, take-a-penny affair that can be found at various hiker-friendly stops in trail towns.) We stayed a night at the excellent Green Mountain Hostel. For $50, we got a quiet, private room, a pint (each) of Ben & Jerry's, sodas, neat trail maps and AT magazines, a shuttle to and from the trail, laundry (including loaner clothes so you can wash every stitch), toiletries, a full kitchen, and pancake mix to make up breakfast the next morning. Thank you, Jeff! Some people figure that because we are "dirty" out in the woods, hikers won't mind if their town digs are filthy or vermin-infested. Some hikers don't–but Zippy and I really appreciate cleanliness and a bit of luxury.
That's a pretty room, but you deserve a castle fit for the prince and princess that you two are! Ah…forgot….the world is your living room in your castle. Love you so very much. Mush on…northward ho. Proud of you both.

108th ILC – PLENARY SESSION: Speech of George Mavrikos, WFTU General Secretary
The hope lies in our struggles
Dear friends, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen
100 years since the founding of the ILO have been completed this year, and this is an opportunity to make an objective evaluation from the perspective of the World Working Class. To draw the true conclusions from the side of the militant trade union movement. To assess the results.
We believe that the ILO history is divided into two main periods. From its foundation until 1990 and from 1990 until today. In the first period, it played a positive role in general and often worked as a mechanism of protection of workers' rights. The international correlations benefited and supported the role of the ILO, with the decisive role of the Soviet Union, of the People's Republic of China, of many other socialist countries and of the non-aligned countries' movement. Those favorable correlations had an important ally by their side. The militant trade union movement, with the leading role at that time of the World Federation of Trade Unions. They had by their side the great class struggles of all workers.
The successes in establishing remarkable achievements such as: Collective Bargaining Agreements, social security, social expenditure, improved salaries and working conditions of the working women, working time, wage increase, progress of democratic and trade union freedoms, was the result of these circumstances. Trade unions were established in every corner of the planet.
No matter how much ink is being spilled by modern slanderers, the truth will always shine.
Following the 1989-1991 overthrows and the changes that took place, the situation and role of the ILO, as well as of all International Organizations, also changed.
These days here, in the annual Conference, Ministers, Prime Ministers, arrived, they used big words, empty promises, and tried to present a picture of virtual reality.
Before 1990, employers did not want to hear about the ILO. Now they consider it their ally and friend. Why? Everyone should think and give the answer on his own.
But whatever words some people say, the truth is at the workplaces, where workers suffer from state violence and authoritarianism, from unemployment and lay-offs, from black labor, from privatizations, from poverty and capitalist barbarity. The truth lies in the Mediterranean Sea, where mothers and children are being drowned in their effort to escape imperialist aggression.
This picture is also a result of the role played by the ILO and of the current situation within the leaderships of the trade union movement.
Since 1960 the blockade against Cuba continues. What did the International Organizations do?
In Soma, Turkey, on 13 May 2014, 301 workers were killed. What did the International Organizations do?
In the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh on 24 April, 2013, 1.132 girls and women were murdered. What did the ILO do?
In Colombia, over the last three years, 600 trade union militants have been murdered. Who was punished for these crimes?
In Chile the government undermines with anti-democratic methods the independent functioning of the CAT. What did the responsible Office of the ILO do?
What have the International Organizations done to protect the workers of Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen from the imperialists? Only words. This is the picture.
Today, Heads of States come here and tell us that black is white. Mr Macron, who attacks and beats the protesters, who fires 1.000 workers from Centrale à charbon de Gardanne, whose Member of Parliament, from his party, Mr. Mohamed Laqhila, threatens to close the functioning of the Trade Union Centre of UD CGT 13, came here a few days ago and presented us a false reality. Both Mr Macron and Mrs Merkel see the ILO today as an ideological mechanism in favor of their policies. This is the truth. This is the real picture. At the same time, they strengthen the phenomena of neo-fascism and xenophobia with their anti-workers policies.
This picture only by today's workers can and must be changed, with their united, class-oriented struggles. By strengthening the unions at the base. By enhancing trade union democracy. The hope lies in our struggles.

Sujal has this popular post on his site about music from TV commercials, and it is hugely popular — so popular that Sujal is constructing a site devoted solely to the cause of TV commerical music. I have toi say I'm one of those snobs that gets upset by the fact that my husband gets most of his music from TV commercials. Then this morning, as I listened to my refined source of news and entertainment, NPR, I heard a report about the rise of indie bands selling their songs for use in commercials — for exposure, to make some, cash, etc. They referred to snobs like me — though the snobs they referred to were more upset about bands "selling out," whereas I'm just not a huge fan of advertisement in general.


The cost of auto insurance can add thousands of dollars onto the overall price of your car. With average insurance costs of up to and around $1,000, it's an area that everyone should be looking at. In this guide, we're going to take you through some of the easiest ways to save on your insurance, giving you more money to play with over the life of your car.
To put it simply, the more powerful your car, the more risk you are on the road. So, it makes complete sense for insurers to charge you more for a faster vehicle with a bigger engine. To get around your excessive insurance costs, it's best to go for a smaller engine and a less powerful car. Especially if you are a younger driver with no real record to speak of. There are plenty of great little cars on the market – the Mini Cooper, or Ford Fiesta are two examples that spring to mind. And, in general, they are cheaper to run in terms of fuel consumption, and easier to drive around a busy city.
Many people stay with the same insurers after their policy runs out – but this isn't the best idea. The introductory deals that attract you to insurance companies often run out after a year, and then your premiums will go up. So, always be aware of when your contract runs out and be prepared to change your insurers to find a better deal. Use a price comparison service to find your cheapest option. Comparaencasa has a simple interface that should give you an idea of what to look for. As soon as your new policy starts, make a note in your diary of when it finishes that you always have a shot at a better deal.
Another idea to save on insurance costs is to use telematics. It's a clever little bit of kit that acts in the same way as an airplane's little black box. Every time you drive, it records the data of how you have been driving, including your average speed and how you brake. If you are a good driver, this is the proof that you need to show the insurers, who will be charging you as an average driver. And, if you are safer than the average, then they will reduce your premiums.
People that buy classic car models look after their vehicles – and insurers know it. That's why they tend to charge them less for their insurance premiums, dependent on their previous claims history. It's easy to see why. Classic cars take a lot more time, effort and money to keep on the road and in excellent condition. So, if you have ever needed an excuse to go and buy that old Mustang you have always wanted, then a cheaper insurance policy might just sway you.
And there you have it – four simple things to think about if you want to cut down on your insurance payments. Over a ten year period, these tips could take you from a five figure number into the lower regions of the four figure numbers. And that can't be sniffed at one little bit.


A shave and a haircut is worth a lot more than two bits these days.
The folliclely focused fields are experiencing a renaissance, not just in the rise of boutique salons and barber shops that double as bars but also in the number of people learning the profession. Cosmetology and barber schools is the No. 1 fastest growing industry for 2011, according to AnythingResearch.com. The schools train both stylists and potential entrepreneurs who may someday open their own salons.
Most states require licensing for stylists, so the schools indicate a required step before entering the field. Trade schools thrived during the economic slump, and according to IBISWorld, professional skills and performance training has potential to grow 5.3 percent every year until 2016. Educating future coiffeurs is a trade itself, with an exceptional year-over-year growth rate of 29 percent, according to data from AnythingResearch.com.
Charles Kirkpatrick, the executive officer of the National Association of Barber Boards of America, recently told the New York Times the number of licensed barbers had grown roughly 10 percent in the last two years, to 245,000 from 225,000.
It's not just a barbershop boomlet, though: Nail salons are part of this fast-growing industry, with a 9 percent year-over-year growth rate, as estimated by AnythingResearch.com. With an average company size of $168,703, the barrier to entry is extremely low.

Die Strandclique ist eine deutsche Fernsehserie, die von 1998 bis 1999 als Ableger von Gegen den Wind produziert wurde. Die erste Staffel der Serie wurde mit 13 Folgen vom 22. Februar bis zum 31. Mai 1999, die zweite Staffel mit 26 Folgen vom 13. Juni bis zum 31. Juli 2002 jeweils um 18.55 bzw. 18.50 Uhr ausgestrahlt.

Auch diese Serie wurde hauptsächlich am Strand von Sankt Peter-Ording produziert, verlagerte aber für einige Wochen den Drehort nach Vietnam (2. Staffel). Vier 23-minütige Folgen wurden vom 6. bis zum 28. März 2000 dort produziert. Die vorherigen Folgen der zweiten Staffel wurden bis zum 23. September 1999 gedreht.
Die erste Staffel wurde im Sommer 1998 gedreht.

Im Unterschied zu Gegen den Wind hat Die Strandclique fünf anstatt nur zwei Protagonisten. Zentrum des Geschehens bildet ein Jugendcamp am Strand von Sankt Peter-Ording.

Handlung
Fünf Freunde, die der Gesellschaft und ihrem Leistungsdruck in gewisser Weise den Rücken gekehrt haben, versuchen sich und anderen jungen Leuten am Strand von Sankt Peter-Ording eine neue Lebensperspektive in Form eines Jugendcamps, dem Pfahlbau, zu schaffen. Anführer der Clique ist Mark, der, nachdem er einige Jahre in der Weltgeschichte umhergereist ist, in seinem Heimatort plötzlich alles verändert vorfindet: Sein Vater ist verstorben, sein Bruder Lukas und seine Freundin Ann haben ihm das plötzliche Verschwinden noch nicht verziehen, und seine Mutter kommt mit der neuen Situation nicht klar. Rai hat sich neben seinem alten Zufluchtsort, dem Pfahlbau, in einem Camper niedergelassen. Um sich selbst etwas zu beweisen, hat er die Surfschule am Strand übernommen, nachdem er sich zuvor als selbständiger Koch nicht hatte durchsetzen können. Außerdem lebt Viola, Tochter reicher Diplomaten, in einem Luxuszelt am Strand und arbeitet dort an ihrer Touristik-Diplomarbeit. Marks alter Freund Björn hat weiterhin den Traum seine Zweimannyacht zu restaurieren und damit um die Welt zu segeln. Momentan arbeitet er allerdings als Schreiner. Ann, Marks Freundin, ist Tierpflegerin in einer Robbenstation und auch sonst sehr tier- und naturverbunden. Alle fünf träumen von Freiheit und Selbstverwirklichung und versuchen diesen Traum gemeinsam in Form eines Jugendcamps umzusetzen.

Ziel ihres Jugendcamps ist es, Jugendlichen alternative Ferien- und Freizeitangebote anzubieten sowie ein freies Leben am Strand zu verwirklichen. Jeder versucht seine eigenen Fähigkeiten und Stärken mit Optimismus aber auch viel Energie einzubringen, sodass kleine Auseinandersetzungen vorprogrammiert sind. Dennoch bringt die Zusammenarbeit für alle hauptsächlich lehrreiche Erfahrungen mit sich: Die Strandclique lernt Verantwortung zu übernehmen und trotzdem Spaß zu haben, Regeln einzuhalten, sich aber immer noch frei zu fühlen.

Sonstiges
 Die erste Staffel erreichte in der relevanten Gruppe der 14- bis 49-Jährigen im Durchschnitt einen Marktanteil von 13 %.
 Die komplette Serie wurde am 29. September 2008 auf DVD veröffentlicht.

Earthquake strikes Oklahoma after Tulsa Trump rally, shaking felt around state
TULSA, Okla. - An earthquake in northern Oklahoma on Saturday night rattled the entire state, including in Tulsa just after President Trump finished his return to the campaign trail before thousands of supporters.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 4.2 earthquake happened at 10:15 p.m. near Perry, roughly 80 miles west of Tulsa.
The temblor was about 4.8 miles deep, with impacts being felt around the state.
5 OF THE MOST DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES IN US HISTORY
Residents in Stillwater, Enid, Ponca City, and Oklahoma City all reported shaking.
Over 200 people reported the quake to the USGS, according to FOX25.
The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Tulsa said on Twitter that its staff felt the tremor in its Tulsa office, and the earthquake generated social media buzz after Trump's appearance.
Saturday night's quake was the largest recorded earthquake in Oklahoma since a magnitude 4.4 quake in May 2019.

Over 500,000 people per year are turning to dental implants to replace their missing teeth. Although you may think they are all the same, there are different materials that are used. Most implants are made of titanium, but you can enjoy a more successful solution with zirconia implants. Dr. Moreland is the only oral surgeon in St. Louis, MO to offer them. You can enjoy the world's safest ceramic implant to invest in your smile.
A dental implant is the only prosthetic to replace both the root and crown of a tooth. Traditionally, a titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a new root. An abutment is attached to the post to connect a custom-made restoration.
Although titanium has been the go-to material for several decades, you now have another option. Zirconia offers a metal-free choice to replace the root of your tooth while anchoring your restoration to your jawbone.
Zirconia implants have become the preferred choice for patients who want a more bio-compatible solution to replace their missing teeth. Although titanium posts are proven effective, they do contain metal. As an alternative, you can enjoy zirconia dental implants in St. Louis.
Zirconia implants were released in 1987 as a non-metal treatment. They are made of a ceramic material that is white in color. They offer the same superior results as titanium posts; however, they provide a variety of additional benefits.
Equal survival rate compared to titanium implants.
Secure osseointegration due to a hydrophilic SLM surface.
Implant and abutment can be prepped.
Ideal for those who have metal allergies.
Dr. Stewart E. Moreland is board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery to offer his patients advanced treatments, like dental implants. He has undergone extensive training to understand the relationship between your oral structures. He is the only oral surgeon in Missouri to offer zirconia implants.
If you are ready to make an investment in your smile and your quality of life, Dr. Moreland can help. After a comprehensive consultation, he creates the customized treatment plan you need to replace your missing teeth. He will determine if zirconia implants are right for you.
Contact our office today to schedule your consultation for a complete smile.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Andrew Garfield
With the worldwide premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man happening July 3rd, British actor Andrew Garfield is about to become one of the biggest names in Hollywood, thanks to his Marvel Comic makeover. Up until now, Garfield was best known for his role as Eduardo Cruz in The Social Network, but after beating out everyone from Robert Pattinson to Daniel Radcliffe for the coveted role of Spider-Man, his name is about to go household. As Garfield braces himself for superstardom and his complete loss of anonymity, here are 5 things you probably didn't know about Andrew Garfield… at least not yet.
Andrew Garfield was a serious gymnast
Garfield was unknowingly training for the role of Spider-Man his entire life. While growing up in the UK, he was a competitive gymnast. At one point, he even ranked third in the south of England for floor routines and vault. Garfield wasn't exactly Olympics material, but as it turns out, he would eventually use his skills to cast a much wider web.
Andrew Garfield is actually American
Don't let the British accent fool you. Garfield was actually born in Los Angeles. He relocated to the UK when he was just three years old, with his mother, who's originally from Essex, and his father, a California native, as well as his older brother. The actor has a natural knack for accents, however. He puts on a believable American accent for his latest role as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, and he lest we forget his standout performance playing Brazil-born, Miami-raised Eduardo Saverin in David Fincher's The Social Network.
He studied spiders to prepare to play Spider-Man
"If you're gonna do it and treat it real — if my DNA is being mixed with that of an actual spider," Garfield has said, "then why not actually bring in the physicality of a spider? The lightness, the stillness, the patience and how that changes a 17-year-old boy. That's a fun thing to play with, as well."
He and now girlfriend Emma Stone pulled pranks on each other on set
A lot of Hollywood couples have met on set, including Andrew Garfield and his Spider-Man co-star, Emma Stone. The two young stars heated up their relationship by initially playing pranks on one another on set. "Andrew and I pulled a couple of pranks on each other," said Stone recently, "like parking my car in front of his trailer so he couldn't get in, and then he put my car on one of the soundstages with a note on it that said 'Move your car, a**hole!' In the middle of the stage!"
Garfield first put on a Spidey suit at age 3
How did Andrew Garfield proof to director Marc Webb that he was born to play the role of Spider-Man? With a little photographic evidence from childhood, of course. When Garfield's parents found out he was auditioning for the role, they unearthed a picture of a 3-year-old Garfield posing for the camera in a Spider-Man costume. Unbeknownst to Garfield, his agent sent Webb and the studio the photo."I think that's the only reason I got the part," Garfield has joked. "I think he was just like, 'Well, that kid's cute. I'll have to give it to that kid,' because I think no one else sent in pictures of themselves at 3."

By now you've heard the news: 3D Systems beat expectations in its fourth-quarter earnings report Monday, sending the shares up 25%. But here's the thing: JPMorgan saw that same news yesterday, and they've come back to market today to say that they're not impressed.
The newsIn yesterday's announcement, 3D Systems reported earning $0.19 per share in pro forma profits despite experiencing a 2% decline in revenue year over year. Revenue did climb sequentially, however, rising 21% between Q3 and Q4 of 2015. That news, combined with the surprisingly strong pro forma profit, frightened a lot of short-sellers out of the stock, forcing them to buy 3D shares in large numbers to cover their short positions, and sending the stock higher in consequence.
So far, so good. Now let's look at three reasons that JPMorgan (and Gabelli as well -- because according to TheFly.com, both these analysts downgraded the stock today) think that this story is not as good as it looks.
3Dl printers from 3D Systems are a bit bigger than your average printer. Image source: 3D Systems.
Thing No. 1: Pro forma profits are not profits at allAccording to StreetInsider's write-up of JPMorgan's downgrade, investors are looking at 3D's results and seeing in them a promise "of a V-shaped recovery." But if you look closely at the news, the "V" looks a whole lot more like an "L".
Take profits for example. 3D Systems makes much of the fact that it earned $0.19 pro forma. But in fact, because 3D took a big writedown on the value of its consumer products business, the GAAP results for the quarter were actually a loss -- and not a small loss either, but $5.32 per share. And for the full year, 3D Systems lost $5.85 per share.
Now, maybe this is a one-time event, but 3D declined to give guidance for the rest of 2016. So the truth is that we really don't know that things are going to "V" back up this year. Indeed, according to JPMorgan, 3D expects that revenues this year will be at best "flat to slightly up." And that would look a whole lot more like an "L" than a "V."
Thing No. 2: Investors misread the newsJPMorgan believes that investors jumped the gun in assuming things are all better now at 3D Systems, that profits have returned, and that the stock will continue to rise. Warns the analyst: "the stock overreacted positively yesterday," and more generally, "we think the stock's ~68% YTD performance ... is a bit excessive given no clear signal end market demand is sharply rebounding."
Thing No. 3: This is a short squeeze, plain and simpleThe upshot of all this, in JPMorgan's estimation, is that Monday was nothing more than a case study in how a short squeeze works.
While 3D Systems beat estimates, the 25% spike in share price on news of a huge GAAP loss came about "primarily" because investors "overreacted" to news that wasn't as good as it sounded. While it's possible that things will turn around at 3D Systems, and even at rivals Stratasys and ExOne, and that such a turnaround will make the stocks more valuable than they were last week, the sharp increase in the stock prices Monday means there's now "minimal margin for error for this execution story."
In short: Any increase in stock price that might have been justified at these stocks has already happened -- and there's no profit left to be had. Accordingly, JPMorgan has downgraded 3D stock to underweight.
And one more thing...Coming from any other analyst, writing about any other stock, this might all sound like sour grapes. After all, heading into earnings JPMorgan had only a neutral rating on 3D Systems stock, and thus missed out on the big bounce Monday. Frustration over that fact would only be natural.
And yet, JPMorgan isn't the only analyst downgrading 3D Systems today. Gabelli cut the stock, too -- and Gabelli had hung a buy rating on 3D going into earnings.
The fact that this former bull is now less enthusiastic about 3D suggests there's more than just sour grapes at work here. When both JPMorgan and Gabelli tell you that 3D Systems costs too much, that there's no visibility on where the stock is heading in 2016, and that expectations are "low" -- there just might be something to worry about.
And when you look around the industry and see that 3D Systems is losing money, Stratasys is losing money, and ExOne is losing money as well?
I fear it's not just 3D Systems investors who have reason to worry.

Puerto Rico University Students Vote to Keep Strike Going
Associated Presscmaadmin (EDU)
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A strike that has shuttered Puerto Rico's largest public university for more than a month will continue indefinitely in defiance of a court order, students decided Wednesday.
Thousands of students approved extending the strike at a mass meeting where they also demanded an audit of Puerto Rico's $73 billion public debt and the resignation of the interim president of the University of Puerto Rico amid looming budget cuts.
The students are in part upset that the interim president is supporting a modified version of cuts being forced on the school due to the U.S. territory's economic crisis. A federal control board overseeing the finances of Puerto Rico's government has proposed $450 million in cuts for the school, although Gov. Ricardo Rossello has proposed that the cuts be reduced to $241 million. That issue has not been resolved.
The previous president of the University of Puerto Rico was among several top-level officials who resigned in February to protest the cuts. The university already faced more than $300 million in cuts in recent years.
An appeals court has ordered the university to reopen early Thursday following a lawsuit filed by students seeking to resume their studies. University officials have warned that a court could impose penalties on all those involved if the students do not reopen the university's gates.

Hyundai Ioniq 5: Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2022 finalist
Bengt Halvorson December 23, 2021 Comment Now!
Among all the new electric cars coming out this year, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the one that best shows that affordable EVs don't have to look and feel like everything else. There's room to reformat the car and mix in some rad cues from the past, without losing focus on a future that doesn't involve tailpipe emissions.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5, with its classic-hatchback form, is peppered with pixelated design, and if you can pull from 1970s or '80s cultural reference points you'll see Rubik's Cubes and 8-bit characters. While it might be an homage to Hyundai's Giugiaro-styled Pony, which never sold in the U.S., Americans will see Omnis and Rabbits if they squint just right.
That said, what looks unabashedly retro on the outside is made possible by a most modern architecture underneath. The Ioniq 5 is the debut vehicle built on a new 800-volt global platform for EVs, called E-GMP, allowing weight savings, modern battery packs, faster charging, and bi-directional capability to turn the vehicle into a mobile power bank.
Hyundai Motor Group E-GMP platform
Look inside and you'll understand the impact of a platform that makes no concessions for gas tanks, engines, and exhausts. The Ioniq takes up the parking footprint of a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V, but it feels vast inside if you're looking purely at leg room and sprawl-out space. That's because it rides on a 118.1-inch wheelbase, with a flat battery pack under the floor—allowing some components like climate control to be pushed under the hood. Rear seatbacks slide fore and aft, and a "Relaxation" feature for the driver's seat adds leg support to nap during charging stops.
Those stops won't be long. The Ioniq 5 charges from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes, taking advantage of 350-kw CCS DC fast-charging hardware, or it can fully charge on Level 2 (240V) in less than 7 hours with its 10.9-kwh onboard charger.
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5
Models with a 77.4-kwh battery pack can be had in single-motor rear-wheel-drive or dual-motor all-wheel-drive form, with EPA rated ranges of 303 miles and 256 miles, respectively. A base SE version with a 58-kwh battery pack will arrive in spring 2022; it only comes in single-motor form and is rated at 220 miles.
There's a performance difference between the two layouts. Dual-motor versions produce 320 hp and 446 lb-ft and get to 60 mph in about 5.0 seconds, while single-motor versions make 225 hp and 258 lb-ft and take about two seconds longer.
With a starting price of $40,925 with a standard 58-kwh battery pack, up to a fully loaded $55,725 in dual-motor Limited form, the entire Ioniq 5 lineup undercuts the Tesla Model Y and sure looks more interesting. Cabin materials are stylish and sustainably oriented; the feature set is impressive for the money; ride quality verges on plush; and this is perhaps the quietest interior among affordable crossover EVs.
We like to think both big-picture and pragmatically with our Best Car To Buy, and here the Ioniq 5 fits into an unusual space.
The Ioniq 5 isn't perfect, but it's very close to an ideal we think a lot of shoppers are seeking in a compact crossover format. The only glaring tech omission—the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto—could be remedied, ironically, with a future over-the-air update. So, potentially, could the lack of Plug and Charge technology, which takes out the payment step from the charging experience and makes it feel exponentially better.
That said, there are several important tech firsts for Ioniq 5. In addition to being the first affordable EV from a full-line automaker built with 800-volt tech, it's also the first to offer bi-directional charging—if you don't count the Nissan Leaf and its never-utilized capabilities here in North America. With a Vehicle to Load (V2L) feature, the Ioniq 5 can power a campsite or a range of tools or appliances, or it can charge another EV.
While the Ioniq 5 sets a new, much higher standard for the rest of the industry for what an affordable, efficient EV can be, there's one letdown we can't gloss over: availability. Hyundai only plans to initially offer it at Ioniq-approved dealerships in California ZEV states plus several others—amounting to 18 states. A rollout in more states will come later next year, but Hyundai won't say when the Ioniq 5 will be a 50-state vehicle, let alone a true mass-market entry like the Volkswagen ID.4. For what was supposed to be Hyundai's breakthrough model and the first to be sold far beyond compliance numbers, we find that disappointing—especially considering how great the Ioniq 5 is.
Will that misgiving be enough to push the Ioniq 5 to the top of the list? Check back on January 3 for our winner.

Turkey Captures Sister of Dead ISIS Leader al-Baghdadi
A woman, believed to be the daughter-in-law of Rasmiya Awad, sister of slain Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was captured on Monday in the northern Syrian town of Azaz by Turkish security officials, is seen in an unknown location in an undated picture provided by Turkish security officials. Turkish Security Officials/Handout via REUTERS
Turkey captured the sister of dead Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Monday in the northern Syrian town of Azaz, a senior Turkish official told Reuters, and is interrogating her husband and daughter-in-law who were also detained.
Rasmiya Awad, 65, was detained in a raid near Azaz, the official said, referring to a Turkish-controlled Syrian town near the border. When captured, she was also accompanied by five children.
"We hope to gather a trove of intelligence from Baghdadi's sister on the inner workings of ISIS," the official said.
Little independent information is available on Baghdadi's sister and Reuters was not immediately able to verify if the captured individual was her.
Baghdadi killed himself last month when cornered in a tunnel during a raid by U.S. special forces in northwestern Syria. Islamic State, in an audio tape posted online on Thursday, confirmed that its leader had died and vowed revenge against the United States.
Baghdadi had risen from obscurity to lead the ultra-hardline group and declare himself "caliph" of all Muslims, holding sway over huge areas of Iraq and Syria from 2014-2017 before Islamic State's control was wrested away by U.S.-led coalition forces including Iraqis and Syrian Kurds.
The group, also known as ISIS, said a successor to Baghdadi identified as Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi had been appointed. A senior U.S. official last week said Washington was looking at the new leader to determine where he came from.
World leaders welcomed his death, but they and security experts warned that the group, which carried out atrocities against religious minorities and horrified most Muslims, remained a security threat in Syria and beyond.

Tom Lehman announced as Honorary Chairman of CRMC Championship

BRAINERD, Minnesota – In anticipation of the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada's first venture into the U.S., the CRMC Championship announced today that Tom Lehman will serve as the inaugural event's Honorary Chairman.
Lehman, who is Minnesota's most-decorated player—with five PGA TOUR victories to go along with 30 other professional wins—has spent the past 11 years on PGA TOUR Champions, with his most recent victory coming at the 2019 Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai in January.
"I am very humbled and honored to be asked to assume the role of Honorary Chairman of the CRMC Championship," said the Alexandria native. "So many people have worked so hard to make this event a reality, and because of that I take this role very seriously."
The Aug. 17-23 event at Cragun's Resort is not far from Lehman's first off-the-course initiative. Lehman is the board chairman for Elevate Phoenix, a non-profit program administered through the Phoenix Union High School District that provides inner-city youth with mentoring opportunities
Lehman's charity event, the Elevate Phoenix Invitational, has raised more than $2 million in three years in support of that program.
"Having grown up in Alexandria and graduated from the University of Minnesota, I welcome the opportunity to give back in some small way and assure my personal support and best efforts to everyone in the Brainerd area who will benefit from this event," said Lehman.
"I am thrilled for golf fans in the entire Central Minnesota area who will be able to experience a PGA TOUR event in the form of the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada," continued Lehman. "The quality of golf will amaze everyone. I can't wait for August. God bless everyone!"
Lehman, whose professional career has spanned nearly 40 years, has won on six separate Tours since making his pro debut in 1982. His wins have come on the PGA TOUR, Korn Ferry Tour, PGA TOUR Champions, European Tour, European Senior Tour and Japan Golf Tour. After earning the Korn Ferry Tour's first Player of the Year award, in 1991, Lehman went on to win the PGA TOUR Player of the Year award in 1996, winning The Open Championship and finishing as the runner-up at the U.S. Open that season. In April of 1997, Lehman ascended to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking as the No. 1 player in the world.
Lehman added to his resume by becoming the only player to win Player of the Year on three PGA TOUR- sanctioned circuits, earning the Jack Nicklaus Trophy in 2011 following a three-win season on PGA TOUR Champions. In 2012, Lehman picked up two more victories to become just the fifth player to win the award in back-to-back seasons.
Lehman is also a veteran of team competitions, playing on three winning U.S. Presidents Cup teams and representing the U.S. in the Ryder Cup four times, once as captain.
"All of us at Cragun's are very excited to have Tom Lehman, both a great man and great golfer, as a supporter of the CRMC Championship," said Chuck Klecatsky, CRMC Championship Tournament Director. "Our goals of having a community-wide event and supporting local charities align well with Tom's goals and beliefs. We truly appreciate his help in growing this event into a premier event in the region."
Through three events this season on PGA TOUR Champions, Lehman has made every cuts and is currently 23rd in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.

Concord Soldiers' Monument (Middlesex County)
Location: Monument Square, Main and Lexington Streets, Concord
Date dedicated: April 19, 1867
Architect/sculptor/manufacturer: Hammatt Billings, architect
Number of names: 48 men who died in service
The Boston architectural firm of H. & J. E. Billings designed the monument. Hammatt Billings was a prolific sculptor, illustrator and architect whose works are ubiquitous and yet he never achieved the level of notoriety he arguably deserves. His best-known work is the colossal "Monument to the Forefathers" in Plymouth. He had a hand in several Massachusetts Civil War monuments including the one in Braintree.
The primary inscription reads, "Town of Concord Builds this Monument in Honor of the Brave Men Whose Names it Bears and Records with Grateful Pride that They Found Here a Birthplace, Home or Grave. 1866." An inscription on the east face reads, "They died for their country in the war of the rebellion." A bronze plaque displays the names of the 32 residents of Concord who died in the war. The monument is somewhat unusual in that the committee chose a liberal definition of resident, opting to include not only those who were born in Concord or resided there at the time of enlistment, but anyone who had at some time called Concord a home before the war. This broad definition resulted in several past residents being overlooked. In 1914 a committee recommended the addition of 16 names and the main bronze plaque was recast accordingly.[1]
As is always the case, a great number of these names might be highlighted. Two officers in particular stand out–one an Irish immigrant commanding a company in the Irish 9th Massachusetts, another a lieutenant of old Yankee ancestry, serving in a regiment largely made up of descendants of the Pilgrims.
Capt. James E. McCafferty, Jr. was the son of Irish immigrants. He spent his childhood years in South Boston, his teen years in Concord (on the outskirts of town–a farm on Virginia Road), and lived in Boston at the start of the war working as a gas company engineer. From his early youth, he was infatuated with the Massachusetts militia, carrying the guidon for South Boston militia company and spending hours in front of a mirror practicing the manual of arms. The regimental historian of the 9th Massachusetts wrote of a drill competition between then Lt. McCafferty and a seasoned Sergeant-Major who felt he was up to the task. The event became something of a legend for the unit, telling us something about the importance of pride in one's officers and the role this played on the battlefield. McCafferty won handily, moving, the historian said, "like and automaton…the admiration of all beholders" and inspiring similar proficiency in the regiment.[2] One June 17, 1862, during the Battle of Gaines Mill, McCafferty's company was ordered to hold a bridge against an entire brigade of South Carolinians. The Confederates eventually overwhelmed them and McCafferty died in the effort. As the Union army retreated from the field, his body was never recovered. McCafferty's name was one of those added 57 years after the dedication of the monument.[3]
Lt. Ezra Ripley was the son of one of the town's most prominent families. His father, Rev. Samuel Ripley, raised in the famed Old Manse which once belonged to the Emerson family, was a prominent minister with a pulpit in Waltham. His mother, Sarah Bradford Ripley, a self-educated and formidable woman, ran a private school at the Ripley parsonage in Waltham. Ezra Ripley graduated from Harvard, was admitted to the bar, and practiced law for ten years in Cambridge before the war. Thomas Wentworth Higginson called him, "a slender, delicate, sensitive, and peculiarly unwarlike person."[4] His health was "anything but robust." Nonetheless, Ripley signed on and eventually became a lieutenant in the 29th Massachusetts Infantry–a unit largely from Plymouth County and made up of many descendants of old Mayflower families. He served through severe engagements on the Peninsula, went home on furlough, then rushed back to his regiment at the start of the Antietam campaign. After the fight, he wrote a lengthy letter to his family describing the engagement. "I have seen sights and gone through what I hope will never be my lot again," he wrote. When the 29th Massachusetts was transferred to the Vicksburg Campaign in Mississippi, Ripley injured his leg and was left behind in the "wilderness" with one man to look after him. By the time he caught up with his regiment, traveling much of the way in an open wagon exposed to the sun, he was seriously ill. His commanding officer sent him homeward but Lt. Ripley died on the boat heading up the Mississippi River.[5] His prominent monument in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery bears a long epitaph describing his service and character.
Concord's monument was dedicated on the anniversary of the Battles of Concord and Lexington. The corner of the monument rests on a stone from the abutment of Concord's Old North Bridge where the American's engaged British troops and Emerson's famed "shot heard 'round the world" took place. By coincidence, it was also the date that the first volunteers departed Concord in 1861. Naturally, Emerson gave the dedication address. He spoke of the rapid change in ideas that took place in the North during the war, perhaps too optimistically. "Reform must begin at home. The aim of the hour was to reconstruct the South; but first the North had to be reconstructed. Its own theory and practice of liberty had got sadly out of gear, and must be corrected. It was done on the instant…it was found, contrary to all popular belief, that the country was at heart abolitionist, and for the Union was ready to die."[6] Of course, much of the country, North and South, remained un-Reconstructed and refused to support the civil rights amendments. He devoted the bulk of his address in recounting the war record of Colonel George Prescott and the 32nd Massachusetts Infantry in which a large number of Concord men served. He concluded by imploring his neighbors to remember not only the fallen but those who fought and returned.

The Garden House is a vacation villa that typifies shabby chic free styling. Although furnishings are predominantly native and weathered, there are classic European touches and recurring design elements present. Most evident and visible are the French Louvre doors and windows. The eclectic fusion of the Garden House truly creates a comfortable and quaint environment that appeals especially to guests with more Bohemian and free-wheeling preferences and tastes.
Fringed by a variety of tropical trees is the 12-meter swimming pool. Immerse your body in its refreshing, crystal-clear waters and lose yourself to mindless or stream-of-consciousness wading. From the water, laze on the cushioned bamboo pool beds under the trees. Or lie on the soft day bed under the shade of the poolside bale.
Housed in the spacious, high-ceilinged main pavilion is the living area. Around its large couch, woven wood as well as classic European chairs, you can all converge for some lively conversation. The pavilion also has two dining areas. Indoors – with a square, wooden table for six. While the other is out on the covered terrace with a long, weathered wood table good for eight. At any of these dining alternatives, you can feast on authentic Balinese cuisine – as well as your most-requested comfort food – freshly cooked by the on-site chef at the pavilion's kitchen.
The villa has three bedrooms in separate units. The master bedroom has a canopied and draped queen-sized bed and a dedicated bathroom. This bedroom also opens out to a furnished covered terrace right by the swimming pool. The two other bedrooms also have draped, queen-sized beds and dedicated bathrooms.
In charge of carrying out the villa's day-to-day services is a staff composed of a housekeeper, a pool attendant, a gardener as well as round-the-clock security. Aside from the chef, a babysitter, a driver, a laundry helper and a spa therapist may be called in upon your request. Their services, however, come with a separate charge. You can also order room service from nearby Café Bali. Available for rent are a scooter and a car.
The Garden House is right in the middle of Seminyak – the bustling center of tourism in Bali. The Oberoi District's Eat Street is just a short walk from the villa. Along this famous foodie strip are casual to fine-dining restaurants. Notable among these are Biku, Grocer And Grind, La Lucciola, Mamasan, Metis, Revolver, Sarong and Ultimo. Stroll through the streets and you'll find malls, fashion boutiques, novelty shops and souvenir stores. You'll end up at Seminyak Beach eventually. Settle comfortably and chill out at one of the cozy cafes all afternoon until sunset. By nightfall, hit the hip bars and clubs such as Potato Head and Ku De Ta.


When it comes to smart transportation options and city planning, Zurich can credibly claim to be the global champ. This Swiss city has enacted a number of policies and practices that have produced streets where people come first. Getting around and simply experiencing the city is a pleasure.
How did they do it? In a 1996 city decree referred to as "a historic compromise," Zurich decided to cap the number of parking spaces. From then on, when new parking spaces were built anywhere in Zurich, an equivalent number of spaces had to be eliminated elsewhere within the city limits. Many of the new spaces that have been built since then come in the form of underground garages, which allow for more car-free areas, plazas, and shared-space streets.
Zurich also has an intricate system of more than 4,500 sensors that monitor the number of cars entering the city. When that number exceeds the level Zurich's streets can comfortably accommodate, all cars are halted on highways and main roads into the city until congestion is relieved. Thus, there is never significant traffic back-up in the city itself.
It's tough to top the city's transit options. Zurich has a network of comfortable commuter trains and buses, plus the magnificent gem of the city: its 15-line tram system. Trams run everywhere frequently and are easy to hop on and off. The coordination of the lines is a wonder to behold. And it's the preferred way to travel in the city center -- business men in suits traveling to the richest banks in the world ride next to moms and skateboarders.
That's only the beginning of some of the great things going on in Zurich. Bike mode share is now 6 percent and climbing. People flock to the amazing parks and rivers that have been cleaned up. Car-free and car-lite streets are filled with restaurants and people at all times of day. If you can never get to Zurich yourself, I hope you'll be able to experience a bit of what it's like via this Streetfilm.
Note: All stats in the video are from the Mobility and Transport Microcencus of 2010 by the Federal Government of Switzerland. The survey on travel behavior has been conducted every five years since 1974.

Very cool, but Zurich at 0.383m people is even smaller than Portland! Is the message here that other cities can be as cool as Zurich, or that cities shouldn't be bigger than half a million people? How much of what they're doing is scalable to 8.3m NYC, which is at the center of a 23m metro area?
But the entire metropolitan area is nearly 2 million.
There are a few things about Zurich that I often like to contrast with the streetcar system in San Francisco. In Zurich, you step off the tram onto the sidewalk. In San Francisco, you step off on a platform, and walk half a block out of your way, down the platform, hit the beg button, cross a few lanes of traffic, and then you're on a sidewalk. I'm referring to the T-Third here of course. Secondly in Zurich everyone just walks right across the road in front of the streetcar. There's none of this pedestrian signal silliness. You can see this in the video at Bahnhofstrasse, or at Paradeplatz where the tram platform is in the middle of a three-way intersection with no signals or crosswalks, that's also at-grade with no curbs. Contrast with SF Muni streetcar stop at Folsom and Embarcadero, where pedestrians must wait through an extremely long signal cycle (without transit priority!), and never get the signal unless they've used the beg button.
Another thing that stands out when you visit Zurich is the green signal cycle for cars is extremely short. Sometimes the green+yellow phase begins immediately, allowing enough time for only one car to enter the intersection. This is part of their peak-hour congestion control software that's described in the video. It's a remarkable contrast to the minutes-long signal cycles we have in San Francisco.
"When it comes to smart transportation options and city planning, Zurich can credibly claim to be the global champ."
In my opinion, Groningen is still best!
Haha. There are many great cities. Groningen doesn't have the transit that Zurich has. But Zurich doesn't have the biking that Groningen has.
The thing that I find interesting about Zurich/CH in general is that people are by default treated like adults. There are far fewer warning signs, excessive fencing, etc.
The interesting thing about those trams is that they have signaling priority, and don't stop or slow down for pedestrians. You better pay attention and stay out of their way.
I agree. So many places I have been to Amsterdam, Zurich, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, etc etc, have very few warning signs, at least it isn't excessive. It says something about the U.S. being such a litigious society. All the beaches and water areas in Zurich - people diving off high places - not many lifeguards to be seen. In Melbourne, I couldn't believe the beaches, just people doing whatever they wanted while drinking whole bottles of wine, EACH!
It is only possible to have one transportation mode with over 50% mode share. So there are transit cities, like Zurich or Toronto, and there are cycling cities, like Copenhagen or every city in NL.
In my opinion, I prefer cycling cities. Active transportation gives a greater sense of empowerment, particularly for children.
Cycling is also faster for shorter trips. Cycling is door-to-door, but with transit, one has to walk to the nearest transit stop, wait for the transit vehicle, and frequently make one or more transfers.
Unfortunately Zuerich has uncontrolled smoking, making life on their streets extremely unpleasant and hazardous to your health. The main area in the train station is thick with haze, and you have to go through it to get on or off a train. My throat was sore for three hours after I caught a train there. It was the worst I'd seen in Europe, even worse than Paris where they love their nicotine. Norway was the best.
I guess Zuerich is only a "people" city for smokers. I had a lot more fun touring Los Angeles by transit.
It's also cold and boring and the food is awful and it's ruled in part by a racist far-right-wing party. But I think this site focuses on the transport.
I've spent a lot of time in Zurich, and think it's a wonderful place. The trams and buses are great, the parks are beautiful, diving into the Limmat is a blast, etc. But there is never significant traffic back-up in the city? Uh, no. There's plenty of traffic in Zurich, and many spots where it backs up. It's a very difficult place to get around in by car, including because there are lots of other cars there. I realize that this is by design (my friends there say that the city's motto is "you can't get there from here by car").
I'll agree with the smoking. I kept telling everyone about it. But it's all relative, depends on where you are from and how much your city has. For example, when I recently went to Philadelphia I couldn't believe how much more people smoked vs NYC. Then I looked up the stats and realized just how much more.
I thought there was plenty of smoking in Stockholm, Amsterdam and many other countries.
Zurich, like most of Switzerland, is also very exclusionary - if you're already there, you're good; if you live somewhere poorer, you're not getting in. It's nice to have vibrant streetlife, but too many Swiss cities are essentially playgrounds for the wealthy that exclude everyone else.
The comparsion isn't appropriate. Groningen is a 195.000-large city, filled with students (a cohort that tends to be healthier, younger, poorer and therefore much more likely to be able and have incentives to cycle). It is also completely flat.
Zurich is the center of a metro area comprising 1.8 million inhabitants. It has several hilly areas, and a very different distribution among ages and income levels.
There are plenty of tram stops in Zurich that involve stepping out onto a platform.
Wow! I think there is a lot to learn from Zurich. In addition to the many things noted here, I saw some amazing details in their transit infrastructure. Buses and tram all have proof of payment, and often vehicles have screens that show upcoming stops, and when you approach a stop with a transfer, it shows wait times for those routes. Most new 12m buses have 3 doors, which allows very quick boarding.
That said, I hesitate to call any one City global champ. Zurich can learn a lot from Dutch cities about building bicycle infrastructure. Most major streets in Zurich had only painted bike lanes or, more frequently, nothing at all. I also found the driving culture there to be fairly aggressive. Fantastic city, though.
With all due respect, all of the above statements are wrong.
You may have realized that most of the Bahnhofstrasse (the Paradeplatz counts as a part of the Bahnhofstrasse) is a pedestrian zone, and the rest has, with the exception of a around 150 m long stretch, no through-traffic. If you are caught driving on the Paradeplatz (with the exception of two small corners), you pay pretty steep fines.
Many of the streetcar lines are fully or at least partially equipped with vehicles with low-floor entrances, allowing almost level boarding from a standard sidewalk curb, and totally level boarding from a slightly elevated curb. This ensures compliance to the "accessibility" legislation. Those low-level curbs are also in use in the tunnel section of the network.
Actually, the only place where the Bahnhofstrasse has a fence is the about 150 m long stretch with car lanes having through-traffic.
This is not within the control of the Zurich Municipal Government. If you want to complain about Swiss Banks, do it somewhere else.

VICTIMS of historical child abuse have urged Northern Ireland's politicians to release compensation, which has been blocked due to Stormont's collapse, as talks aimed at restoring power-sharing entered their final hours.
Savia – Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse, which represents people who were abused at institutions, called on Secretary of State James Brokenshire to make provisions for victims' compensation in the event of talks failing and a budget being introduced in Westminster.
Following an inquiry into abuse at children's homes, recommendations were made in January to the assembly to award compensation to victims and survivors.
However, just days after the report, power-sharing collapsed at Stormont meaning that no government has been in place to approve the release of funds.
The parties had been given a final deadline of Monday to reach a deal, after which Mr Brokenshire has said he will be forced to legislate for a budget via Westminster instead.
Margaret McGuckian from Savia said: "It's an absolute shame and a disgrace that people have been treated like this.
"This government has said they care about victims of child abuse, but they really don't.
"What we're asking is that Mr Brokenshire includes an interim payment in the budget if he passes one at Westminster. It's the least he can do and we know he can do it."
Green Party MLA Clare Bailey, among those attending the protest, said: "The way people have been treated is just brutal. It's re-traumatising, after everything people have already been through.
"We demand that if James Brokenshire puts his budget through, they must get the compensation they deserve and which they're due."
In January a report by the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) Inquiry led by Sir Anthony Hart, outlined a series of recommendations after sexual, physical and emotional abuse was revealed to have taken place at Church and state-run institutions between 1922 and 1995.
Among the recommendations was a proposal that abuse survivors should receive compensation ranging from £7,500 to £100,000 each as part of a compensation package.
Sir Hart has suggested that institutions responsible for the abuse should make a financial contribution to the compensation fund.
Some abuse survivors have said they have been left feeling suicidal and facing financial ruin due to the impasse.

The iLappSurgery Foundation is started out of passion for surgery and therefore it's set up as a non-profit organization.
The goal of the Foundation is to develop educational material concerning specific advanced techniques in the field of laparoscopic surgery and to make such material available to surgeons, residents and other interested parties worldwide in the form of Apps at a minimal payment.
As a result we aim to increase the level of (laparoscopic) surgical skills in order to lengthen the life expectancy of patients, to improve their quality of life and to shorten the duration of hospital stay.
Dr. Joep Knol is the chairman of the scientific board and director of the project.
The scientific board also consists of dr. Tom Cecil (Basingstoke Colorectal Centre, Basingstoke, UK) and dr. Colin Sietses (Gelderse Vallei Hospital, Ede, The Netherlands), Debby Keller (Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY, USA) and Sami Chadi (University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
The daily operational issues of the not for profit iLappSurgery Foundation are taken care of by an operational board focusing on financial issues, fundraising, promotion and press contacts.
Colorizing effects and other video-editing techniques are key components in the available App-modules of the iLappSurgery-project.
