New Trump foreign investment rules make Orlando developers scramble
By Laura Kinsler

Orlando area developers will be scrambling over the next four months to raise capital from international investors before new Trump Administration regulations for the EB-5 visa program take effect Nov. 21, according to a report in GrowthSpotter.
The new guidelines published last week nearly double the investment threshold for EB-5 projects from $1 million to $1.8 million. Projects located within qualified Targeted Employment Areas would require foreign nationals to invest $900,000, up from $500,000.
"There's going to be a big push to get as many investors filed as possible in the next 120 days," Orlando immigration attorney Edward Beshara told GrowthSpotter. "So the developers have to get a whole team of EB-5 professionals and lay out a plan of action."
Beshara estimates that about 40 percent of existing or future EB-5 investors could get priced out of the system.

Park Square Enterprises is currently raising capital through EB-5 for a new Woodspring Suites hotel in Sanford. CEO Suresh Gupta said the company is only two investors shy of reaching its $3 million goal.
"I'm sure now given that there's a new deadline, we won't have any trouble getting the last two," Gupta said on Monday. "This will actually help us because we've got the project, and it's already started. There's going to be a mad dash for investors to apply."
David Townsend, master developer of Ocoee's City Centre West Orange, said he too expects an influx of new EB-5 investors looking to beat the November 21 deadline. The mixed-use project is already underway and features a hotel, luxury condominiums, retail, restaurant and office space.

Spice illegal, but problems persist
Despite a ban on its sale and possession, Anchorage social service providers say they've seen an alarming increase in the use of the synthetic drug known as Spice.
"We have people – literally every day, multiple times – standing across the street from the café selling Spice," said Lisa Sauder, executive director of Bean's Cafe. "Our staff can tell you who they are, what they look like, what their street name is at least."
Thursday, Sauder spoke before members of the Anchorage Assembly's new committee on alcohol and drug abuse. It was the group's second meeting, and Assembly members Bill Evans, Amy Demboski, Pete Petersen, Elvi Gray-Jackson and Dick Traini heard from representatives of Brother Francis Shelter, Bean's Cafe, the Anchorage Fire Department and numerous other community organizations. The seats in the Assembly's City Hall conference room were nearly full.
The committee was formed with a "bias towards action," and Evans said it aimed to look for possible solutions to substance abuse troubles among Anchorage's homeless. Its final recommendation would go before the full Assembly for consideration.
At Thursday's two-hour meeting, Sauder spoke to the committee alongside Mary Beth Bragiel, deputy director at Catholic Social Services. They encouraged Assembly members to look at all the factors surrounding addiction and chronic homelessness. They recommended community involvement for "collective impact." And they asked for help fighting a growing problem.
"The dramatic increase of people using Spice in the last year has had serious consequences, both at the shelter and at the café," Bragiel said. "Guests, employees and volunteers all feel unsafe."
She told committee members about the time a 20-something shelter guest fought three police officers while he was under the influence, and the woman who chased others around the property with a knife. Bragiel said the drug turns up during routine check-in searches, and they've caught people smoking it in the shelter's enclosed courtyard. While the Assembly banned the drug in January, Sauder said it's still easily accessible online.
At the same time, both the cafe and the shelter have seen alarmingly high numbers of chronic users.
Bragiel said more than half of the people who stayed at Brother Francis Shelter last year had done so for three or more years. More than a quarter had stayed there for at least 10. People are increasingly using the emergency shelter as a long-term home. Combined with the spike in drug-related problems, Bragiel said CSS had revamped policies at the 240-person shelter.
"We felt that we had moved from helping people to enabling people," she said.
This winter, she said the shelter won't issue passes once guests have stayed their 30-day limit. Bringing drugs or weapons into the shelter will get you temporarily kicked out of both Brother Francis and Bean's Cafe.
But beyond the campus on 3rd Avenue, Bragiel said it would take city help to reverse the troubling trend.
Earlier this year, she said, Sauder and CSS Executive Director Susan Bomalaski sent a letter to Mayor Dan Sullivan and Anchorage Police Department Chief Mark Mew requesting a regular police presence at the Bean's Cafe and Brother Francis Shelter property. As of Thursday, she said they had not received a response.
APD could not immediately be reached for comment Friday morning.
Meanwhile, the Spice problem isn't limited to Bean's Cafe and the neighboring shelter. Up the road, Mountain View residents have seen it used in Mizelle Park. Alice Lawrence, who runs a small apartment complex and informal soup kitchen on Richmond Avenue, said she's seen more and more of the drug lately. It can make people violent and unpredictable.
At Brother Francis Shelter, with its two paid staff and hundreds of guests, Bragiel said the drug can cause volatile and dangerous situations. For now, it's not going away.
"People are afraid," she said.

Dad lies to strangers once they ask if he's babysitting his child
Aug 10, 2022 babies, dads, Living, Parenting, TikTok
When it comes to having kids, everyone knows that ladies do maximum of the hard work.
So not anything is extra infuriating than when a dad will get praised for merely looking after his own child.
But what's much more disturbing is when strangers – and even the dad himself – refers to it as "babysitting" fairly than simply, , being a dad or mum!
Now a father has shared the hilarious tactic he makes use of to clap again at folks that consult with his time along with his younger daughter as "babysitting."
"This is what I used at all times when (my daughter) Viola used to be first born," Kevin Clevenger explains in a viral TikTok video.
Dad pretends his spouse is lifeless when requested if he's babysitting
Kevin went on to give an explanation for that when his daughter used to be born, his spouse, Brandy, made up our minds she sought after to return to paintings for slightly bit, so he would frequently do the grocery buying groceries with Viola.
"I take note I used to be within the grocery retailer and this girl got here as much as us and she or he used to be like, 'oh, are you giving Mom a smash lately, is Daddy babysitting?'" he vividly recollects.
Kevin Clevenger explains in a TikTok that he tells strangers his spouse is lifeless once they ask if he's "babysitting" their daughter.
TikTok/ @ironsanctuary
"And I used to be like 'No, her mother in fact died in childbirth, so it's simply been me and her since then'.'I don't know why that's what got here to my thoughts and this lady's face became ghost white.
"So now anytime any individual asks if I'm babysitting, I say 'no, her mother's lifeless, it's simply me'."
"It's simply being a father, no longer babysitting"
People had been fast to reward Kevin for his tactic, along with his video racking up greater than 5.5 million perspectives in simply 24 hours.
"I'm giving my fiancé complete permission to say me as lifeless as a result of other people CONSTANTLY ask him if he's babysitting," one particular person answered.
"I at all times say 'no, I'm being a father', however I may do that subsequent time," a father applauded.
"THIS IS BRILLIANT. Once she's sufficiently old you will have to provide an explanation for it to her and train her to burst into tears," someone else prompt.

OLYMPIA: Two reportbacks from "Fuck the 4th" march
The two following reportbacks were submitted anonymously –
Reportback from Impromptu Fuck the 4th March
What started as a day of chill BLM marches and fuck the 4th dance parties gave way to one of the most intensely destructive nights I think I've ever seen in Oly. Around 10:30ish a crowd of around 40 in all black assembled at a fountain at one end of town. I wasn't really sure what the vibe was gonna be for the night, for Olympia a 40 deep black bloc (or march in general) is pretty big but it never feels big enough, so I was anxious. I looked up at the full moon illuminating our gathering and found some strength and comfort in that. After a few minutes of milling about some people began to chant "NO COPS, NO PRISONS, TOTAL ABOLITION" and the march took off.
Immediately when we got to the first building on 4th graffiti began to go up, windows were getting smashed, and fireworks were getting set off non stop. The energy was joyous and fierce in a way I rarely experience here. Parking meters were getting sabotaged, tags of "ACAB" "Black lives matter" "Abolish OPD" "Death to America" "RIP George Floyd" were going up everywhere.
Gentrifying condo on 4th Ave
As we approached the City Hall and Police Station people began a spirited chant of "Death to America!". Fires were getting started. When someone was starting one, someone in the crowd yelled "Repeat after me! I didn't see shit!" To which the crowd responded, "I DIDN'T SEE SHIT".
When we got to the city hall and police station, the reinforced glass was greeted with a barrage of stones and chunks of concert that smashed holes through it. A hole was smashed in the door of the police station which someone used to reach in and open the door to let people tag. It was absolutely beautiful.
At this point two pig cruisers rushed towards the crowd and we retreated down a side street throwing things at the cops as we went. At this point parts of the crowd split off, but a sizable chunk kept going back down 4th and up capitol, continuing to smash and tag as they went. This crew made its way all the way to the city jail – the so called "justice" center – on Plum and smashed some of the city vehicles they keep parked outside before making a clean get away.
At the point of writing this, no arrests have been made <3
Fuck the 4th: RIP USA LOL
The genocidal project of colonization known as the "United States of America" is in its death throes. Antagonists in Olympia celebrated and attempted to hasten its demise last night (during what was hopefully the last "4th of July" ever) with several different events throughout the evening and into the night.
The evening started with an extremely chill and fun "Fuck the 4th" generator dance party in a park downtown with live DJ's, fresh tamales, and good vibes. We enjoyed the pleasant early July weather as we chatted, danced, admired each other's party outfits, and ate and drank with old and new friends.
Next up was an extremely rowdy march through downtown – possibly the most destructive we've seen here in the last decade. As soon as we hit the streets people started throwing up graffiti and smashing out windows. Memories of years of fighting with peace police and liberals in Olympia faded as it became apparent that everyone was down as fuck and extremely ready. Expensive businesses, banks, that one Starbucks that keeps getting got, that condo building that marked a turning point in Olympia's gentrification, some fucking olive oil and vinegar boutique – all were gleefully attacked. The holes in the windows at Starbucks were big enough that the cops sent officers out to guard the building from getting looted. Multiple massive windows were broken at Olympia Coffee Roasters – the site of peak PNW liberal curated-for-instagram-aesthetic capitalist bullshit – while "GENTRIFICATION = DEATH" was painted on the front of the building. Across the street, others got to work on city hall and the cop shop while a dumpster fire burned in the background. As of mid-day today the city hadn't even begun boarding up the innumerable shattered windows at city hall, although the "Fuck the mayor" tag was buffed. We love to see massive holes in the cop shop door in the middle of the day!! Apparently at least some of the march eventually made it to the city jail on Plum Street where more shit was fucked up. A cop was heard on the scanner saying they were having a panic attack and needed a break. There were no arrests.
A couple suggestions for future conflictual marches: fireworks, flares, and smoke bombs can create a visual barrier between a march and the cops or other enemies, plus they're fun and pretty. However, fireworks should be deployed at the rear of the march with care that they don't hit other marchers. Friendly fire is a bummer.
Rocks are in short supply in downtown Olympia. It sucks to get caught unprepared with no projectiles if an opportunity presents itself! Consider loading up your pockets ahead of time with rocks from elsewhere or finding other materials to bring that can accomplish the same task.
The final event of the night was a victorious bonfire away from downtown until the sun started coming up again. Close to 100 US flags were set ablaze. With every flag added to the fire, we shared the name of a martyr or survivor in the centuries-long war against white supremacy and colonization. The bonfire was a beautiful mix of raucous joy and somber contemplation.
During the current uprising against white supremacy, we've found a few things to be particularly inspiring here in Olympia: beautiful new relationships forged in struggle, the disposal of the peace police, and the simultaneous joy and rage and care and friendship that we are showing for each other.
Fuck the police forever and ever and ever, death to the USA.

Yesterday, while driving out to buy back breakfast for the family, I noticed a warning light on my dashboard.
Instinct told me that it cannot be. I service my car faithfully every 10,000km, and I service at the official Chevrolet Singapore service centre, Alpine Motors.
I took the risk and proceeded to drive to my destination, bought the breakfast, and drove back. I paid attention to any unusual sounds or smell coming from the car along the way, turned off aircon, switched off radio and unwound the window to make sure I did not miss out any details.
After calming my mind, I went back down to the car and inspected the engine oil level.
I also googled on the reasons why the oil pressure light would be lit up intermittently, and came across several articles which pointed to a faulty oil pressure sensor.
This article even came with an informative diagram.
As much as I was convinced that it might just be a sensor problem, I decided to let my car have a rest. Who knows what other problems this symptom could lead to? I needed an experienced mechanic to diagnose. Furthermore, I did not want to risk having a broken car in the middle of the road with my family in tow.
So I took public transport for the rest of the day with my family, and it felt liberating. For once, I felt there is no responsibility, no stress. We took our time to do what we wanted. For the first time, we ate at this restaurant at the shopping mall where my daughter attended classes for 3 years. After dining at our leisurely pace, we walked to the MRT station, and we reached our home in 4 train stations (including a change in track line).
Today, I drove the car to Alpine Motors without an appointment. While the reception lady was curt to advise that walk-in customers will be served after all the pre-booked customers, the service counter staff was more than enthusiastic to take my issue. After all, how many owners would drive their car to the service centre at 8am?
The service staff confidently diagnosed my car issue as faulty sensor. Within 2 hours, he called me and said the car was ready for collection. Cost: S$107. It may cost a lot cheaper if I were to go to a unauthorised workshop, but what I am paying for is not just the material cost. I am paying for service quality, product reliability and peace of mind. Plus, I get a complimentary car wash and interior vacuum.
Through failures – in this case, the failure of my car part – we learn. Without this experience, I would never have read up more about this engine oil pressure sensor and gained new knowledge.

Andy McMillin admits intentionally roosting LVDC pit crew at Vegas To Reno
By: Gabriel Garcia, Ensenada
Andy McMillin pictured after broken leg playing basketball.
Andy McMillin intentionally 'roosted' the event leading LVDC racing teams pit crew on day 2, during the recent, Vegas To Reno desert, off-road race, which he eventually won, overall.
He threw dirt and rocks with his 800 horsepower racing truck at the LVDC crew at pit number 3. Here's what Andy said, "I was frustrated not being able to get around TJ's car with Kevin Colan driving for awhile before coming into that pit, and I let the frustration get to me. I know I put people in danger and it was a dumb, bonehead, immature thing to do. (My co-driver even called me a dumb idiot as we left that pit) I guess I just can't explain being in the heat of a moment like that during the race, and I would really take it back if I could! It was dumb!"
McMillin team driver of record, Andy McMillin, has been accused of immaturity and in an attempt to counter the charges, he now lists his name on the driver of record paperwork in the races he enters as, "Andrew" McMillin.
His admission that he "let the frustration get to (him)me", occurred at a time in the race, when he was eating lots of dust from the leading LVDC unlimited buggy. Andy wasn't following just anybody. The LVDC team, with TJ, Danny Anderson, Kevin Colan and Pat Dean, is considered one of the fastest desert, off-road racing teams in the west.
The McMillin's haven't raced in Baja Mexico in years. They have bought into new Geiser trucks, Andy's truck has two engines. One, a sprint race motor and the second, a "race motor", used in more challenging terrain races.
As the McMillins have not raced in Baja in years, the Mark Post, Riviera Trophy Truck #3, the Roger Norman Trophy Truck and the Robby Gordon Motorsports Team have basked in the glow of Baja desert, off-road racing victories.
Race reports from the Vegas To Reno indicate the McMillin teams performance on Day 2 of the Vegas To Reno, was dampened by several tire failures. McMillin runs BF Goodrich as the McMillin team tire sponsor. At the time of Andy's blowout, he was running behind LVDC, eating lots of Nevada dust, as a result of tire failures during the race.

DiRT 2 Baja racing review EXCLUSIVE with Baja Racing News.com
Colin Mcrae Dirt 2 - Baja Raid
by Xboxlivefr
DiRT 2 Hands-on Preview
Baja Racing News.com and Gamezine gets our hands-on Codemasters' latest off-road racer DiRT 2. So today we were lucky enough to visit Codemasters and get our hands-on with DiRT 2; the off-road sequel to the critically acclaimed 2007 racer.
First off the bat, you might have been impressed by DiRT's front-end menus, but DiRT 2 really does up the ante with a real-time festival event framing the game's selectable options.
Head into your personal RV, choose your event, and check out your gathered souvenirs from each of the countries you've visited; USA, Japan, Malaysia, Baja, Croatia, London and others are included. DiRT 2's graphics certainly look spectacular, building on 2008's GRID (showing the scant amount of time Codies had to create the game) with lush jungles, shimmering water and dirt being sprayed all over your windscreen.
The Baja racing sections are the most realistic ever produced for gaming. Even the old-timers will think they are racin' the Baja!
Head into the cock-pit view and you might notice one of the toys you've been awarded during your racing career, such as fluffy dice or a skull (it's eyes roll to the bumps of your racing). From stadium racing in the US, to driving through Battersea in London, and canyon racing in Utah, to rallying through Malaysian rainforests; the game's locations are varied, with each sporting its own festival, DJ soundtrack and unique atmosphere.
It's good to see that the team has answered gamers and critics alike with their online multiplayer: by adding 8 player online (the number is not due to technical limitations; play-testing discovered that this was the perfect number) to the first game's solitary experience, competitive racing is in.
Choose any car, any track and any mode from the outset and find that you can start your online racing with wither all the cars leaving the start line at the same time, or in a staggered realistic rally race, where you can play cat and mouse with the other drivers. Other notable inclusions include the X-Games license, which brings an extreme sports feel; the flashback re-wind of GRID; and night time racing.
The last inclusion is important, due to the night racing showing off the game's deferred rendering; a feature Codies has been working very hard on. Like Killzone 2, this technique allows the game to sport multiple light-sources to bring the track to life, and on the night-time London track we played (Battersea), it was definitely impressive.
Though the late great Colin McRae is no longer with us, DiRT 2's design is still inspired by him, prompting a move into more extreme sports and even resulting in the Colin McRae Memorial Challenge at the end of the game, which is tough, very tough.
The X-Games gaming inclusion will pump initial record sales
Codemasters, a leading developer and publisher of acclaimed racing video games, and ESPN's X Games, has announced an agreement that will see three all-new X Games stages created and integrated exclusively in DiRT 2, the sequel to the award-winning off-road racing title.
The three new stages – X Games America, X Games Europe and X Games Asia – will carry official X Games branding and infuse added realism by bringing the series' unique action sports atmosphere to the game. Players will be able to compete in the X Games events by reaching landmark achievements within the game's World Tour.
"With DiRT 2, Codemasters has captured the essence of contemporary action sports racing, making the game a great platform to integrate the X Games brand and the look and feel of its global events," said Rick Alessandri, ESPN Senior Vice President and Managing Director, X Games Franchise. "We're excited that millions of players will have the opportunity to engage in the X Games environment both in the game and online."
"We've been inspired by the flair, style and big event atmosphere of ESPN's X Games series, which has switched on a new generation of action sports fans to rally and off-road racing." said Gavin Raeburn, Senior Executive Producer, Codemasters. "It's been incredible to work with them to shape a series of exclusive X Games integrations for DiRT 2. Gamers will experience three major competitions that will make them feel like they're really arrived on the world's premiere racing stage, competing in front of thousands of fans in dramatic and spectacular stadium events."
The X Games events will be headlined by off-road racing's most famous and respected athletes including the multi medal-winning Subaru Rally Team USA driver Ken Block, Dave Mirra, Tanner Faust and Travis Pastrana. X Games 14 Rally Car Racing gold medalist, Pastrana competed with the late Colin McRae at X Games 12 (2006) before going on to feature in and lend his voice to the original DiRT game, published in 2007.
Each X Games event will consist of two knockout rounds (quarters and semis) rounded off with a dramatic final held at spectacular locations including London (X Games Europe), Tokyo (X Games Asia) and Los Angeles (X Games America). The X Games America competition is identified from the very start of the game as the pinnacle event in DiRT 2's racing world and the ultimate test for any off-road racer.
DiRT 2 will be shipping on September 8th in North America. The game will be published for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP (PlayStation Portable) system with a Games For Windows LIVE edition, supporting DirectX 11, to follow.
DiRT 2 will hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP on September 11th.

Boy Scout Western Massachusetts Council Steven Harrel rips off sponsors, just another desert racing scam!
The "BOY SCOUT Venture Crew 35" Sponsor Hose Story
After grabbing up a bunch of Vegas To Reno sponsors, he bailed on the effort at the last minute. Then he shows up in Vegas!
He admitted, "I co-dogged it with Old Green and the Rumble Goats. Had the time of our lives. Can't wait to do it again. Thanks for askin', man. It's good to know you guys are keeping track of us scouts and our project. You have no idea how good it feels to know people are interested in what we're doing. Especially people in the desert racing community."
Harrell used the internet to scam his victims.
About the rip-off artist Steven Harrell, he's out of Springfield, Mass. He's the leader of Boy Scout Venture Crew 35 which is (WAS) currently building a 7300/stock mini truck to race in Vegas to Reno and the Baja 1000. For those curious about all that technical stuff, it's a 1998 Ranger extended cab with the 4.0 V6 motor. He said, "We're running on BFG Baja T/A's mounted on ATX Series Mojave rims, that was a sponsor plug, by the way."
Here's the list of sponsors who got shafted: KC HiLiTES, K&N Filters, CustomRacingHose.com, Slime, Autism Society of America, Rory'sOffRoadSupply.com.
He also mentioned publicly, "We're building our cage right now and hope to have the truck pretty much done before it snows."
He pulled out at the last minute, then co-drove some other teams ride in the race. Slimey!
Mr. Harrell, how much money did you raise from selling bogus race t-shirts?
Gotta have some gamblin' money, right!

Vegas To Reno Chopper crash worse than first reported
CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO CHOPPER DOWN AT VEGAS TO RENO
When first reported by Off-Road1.com, the racing Nunley family said, "oh everything is ok, no injuries". Decide for yourself.
Baja racing, off-road racing family in Vegas To Reno chopper crash details, Tulare Union High School Principal Michelle Nunley and two others escaped serious injury Friday when a helicopter crashed Friday between Reno, Nev., and Las Vegas.
The helicopter carrying Nunley, the pilot and an emergency medical technician was acting as an "escort" aircraft during an off-road race involving Nunley's husband, Craig Nunley. All three occupants were hospitalized at Las Vegas University Medical Center, where their prognosis is said to be good.
"Michelle is doing great. She is doing better than anybody expected," Craig Nunley said Sunday. "Fortunately, somebody was looking out for them. They're all OK. We're lucky, very blessed."
Nunley suffered injuries to two vertebrae as well as a broken thumb and toe, her husband said. She does have feeling in her legs and toes, he said.
The vertebrae will heal on their own, Craig Nunley said, though Michelle Nunley will be fitted for a back brace.
"She's in pain," he said.
Michelle Nunley planned to take a stroll at the hospital Sunday evening, her husband said.
The helicopter pilot, a friend of Craig Nunley, suffered a broken leg. The EMT injured three vertebrae and suffered a lacerated liver.
"They had no major injuries," Craig Nunley said. "It's unbelievable."
The three were in a Robinson R-44 helicopter, Federal Aviation Administration Spokesman Ian Gregor said. Craig Nunley said the helicopter often serves as an escort during off-road races like last week's Reno-to-Las Vegas event.
Craig Nunley said plans called for his wife to ride with him on Saturday.
The helicopter crashed for unknown reasons in a ravine 25 miles west of Tonopah, Nev., Gregor said.
The helicopter was badly damaged.
Craig Nunley said the craft lost power before the crash, bouncing once and coming to rest among rocks.
The crash happened just 45 minutes after Michelle Nunley had boarded the helicopter, he said.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating, Gregor said.
News of the crash spread quickly, with Tulare Union students posting messages on their Twitter pages. Craig Nunley said he has received several phone calls from community members inquiring about the crash and expressing good wishes.
"To be honest, the response doesn't surprise me," he said. "Everybody loves Michelle. I could see how people would call and say they're worried."

BECKS is the world's best selling German beer that is sold in nearly 90 countries.
The beer brand continues the tradition of giving an artistic stage to independent thinking. Five international artists and musicians were invited to present their creative ideas on a unique new screen: the Beck's label. To celebrate the end of this 1st edition BECKS organized an exclusive music party for 1500 BECKS lovers. A party with a mix of upcoming & famous artists (Bloc party, C2C & Kid Simius) held in a very innovative venue, the Berlin E-Werks.
They wanted to create an online immersive VIP experience to all their brand ambassadors that could not be there.
yellowBird challenged the brief and wanted to enrich the format of the Art Label celebration party. We came up with the idea of an interactive video tour that gives you an overview of the festival. All online visitors were able to get a VIP 360º front row access ticket to this exclusive party.
Besides this we agreed that every artist should get his own 360º VOD to share with their fans. Online visitors be able to like, share & review their experience with friends and become a real BECKS ambassador. The party was not just recorded to watch later, but we also created a VR livestream of the entire party, using multiple cameras throughout the location. The video you see here, is a short compilation video of the event.
Note: Please note that the Vimeo player does not allow 360 degree playback (yet).

Over the course of the 2 days (16-17 May 2012) the Assembly Committees for Agriculture, the Environment and the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister will hold meetings to discuss topics as far ranging as the impact of national parks in Northern Ireland, EU priorities and the work of local government in Europe. There will be plenty of opportunities to get involved and everyone is welcome to attend.
On Wednesday 16 May the Assembly will be hold a roadshow where Balmoral Show visitors can put their questions directly to a panel of MLAs from all parties. Hosted by local political journalist and commentator Eamonn Mallie, this event will provide a platform for local people to discuss the issues that matter to them and to help inform MLAs on the impact of current and future policy decisions on the rural community.
The Assembly Marquee and stand will have an open door policy to all who would like to stop by and learn a little more about local politics, how the Assembly works or to engage directly with the MLAs on the issues that matter to them.

Bloom, K. & Mavhungu, J. 2009. Successful "New Media" business models: Case studies of independent commercial print media in South Africa
This research explores business models and convergence strategies of sustainable independent print media in South Africa. It examines the way traditional media houses sustain their business activities and maintain professional and quality reporting standards whilst developing new profitable products to meet consumer needs. A significant shift in the media industry in the form of new media and online platforms necessitates traditional media around the world to design new product offerings that meet market needs and, ensures that media houses keep up with competition. South Africa is not unique in this regard; multimedia – online publications and social networking platforms are growing.
Convergence is a critical factor in South African newsrooms, and as mentioned by media management scholars like Robert Picard, it also presents a significant challenge and an opportunity in the way the newspaper industry operates. Human resource management, staffing and skilling of employees are affected, as well as market access to technology, market size, economies of scale and the economic health of the country and the business. Media convergence is an economic strategy in which communications companies seek financial benefit by making the various media properties they own work together. The SPI undertook case study research of three print media houses in 2009 and produced a snapshot of media convergence experiences from South Africa.

Mavhungu, J. & O'Shea, C. 2009. Formative Target Audience Research: A Case Study of Five Community Radio Stations in South Africa
This research project is borne out of the necessity to make listenership research accessible to community media. Listenership and audience research is customarily an expensive exercise and thus out of reach for small community radio stations. Most also lack the time and expertise to do audience research in a systematic, rigorous way.
The Sol Plaatje Institute for Media Leadership (SPI) conducted the research with five community radio stations, with the aim of demystifying and encouraging greater use of formative target audience research. The SPI envisaged assisting radio stations to translate research findings into action. The insights of the research process and final findings can be used for marketing purposes to advertisers as well as making informed programming decisions.
The research showcases the experiences and lessons of the five community radio stations that attempted to conduct listenership research and those that have not. It features their challenges and successes – in this way the SPI hopes other community radio stations will learn from these experiences and that this report will inform their choices and decisions when considering research.

Tracey, T., Mavhungu, J., Du Toit, P. & Mdlongwa, F. 2009. Training Needs Assessment of Independent Newspaper Managers in South Africa
The following report details the results of an investigation conducted by the Sol Plaatje Institute for Media Leadership (SPI), funded by the MDDA, into the business training needs of independent community newspapers in South Africa. The research is intended to equip managers to run successful and sustainable newspaper businesses within the competitive and time consuming context of the community print sector. Through exploring what business skills are needed in the sector - gathering the opinions of the independent community newspaper sector in general, experienced managers of newspapers, and managers of newspapers that have recently started, an overall picture of these training needs can be constructed.
Further opinions from trainers of media practitioners are intended to assist in understanding the business training needs of the sector and how best training can be delivered. Managers are often unable to leave the business for extended periods to receive training, and this is a need that must be considered in structuring courses.

Mdlongwa, F. (ed). 2009. Doing Digital Media in Africa: Prospects, Promises and Problems
This is an anthology on how African media companies are embracing and experimenting with digital media to increase their audience reach and income. The book is published by Rhodes University's Sol Plaatjie Institute for Media Leadership (SPI) and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and is edited by SPI Director Francis Mdlongwa.
The book captures some of the important presentations made by African media leaders at the seventh Africa Media Leadership Conference held in Uganda's capital Kampala in 2008 under the theme of "Doing Digital Media in Africa: Prospects, Promises and Problems". Some of the articles in the book are from media experts who did not necessarily attend the conference but were specifically asked to make contributions because of their expertise in this field.
The contributors offer informative ideas, experiences and innovations from across the continent on how Africa can prepare itself for the challenges of a redefined journalism and media business in the age of discontinuity.
As Mdlongwa notes: "The scramble is now on -- the scramble to rapidly find new ways of doing business in a media-scape that also offers unprecedented opportunities to those who embrace change. And to do this quickly and without certainty or compass."
The Africa Media Leadership Conference was launched by the SPI and KAS in 2002 to offer CEOs and editors-in-chief of Africa's media firms a unique platform where they could network at the highest level and take decisions on crucial media management and leadership issues affecting their companies across the continent. The conferences are held each year in a different African country.
This book is a valuable resource to journalism and media management practitioners, trainers and students looking for some Africa-specific insights on digital media issues.

Rau, A., Du Toit, P., Kabeta, J. & Mavhungu, J. 2008. Media Leadership: Strategies from Southern Africa
In the SADC region, the capacity to train and groom promising leadership and management candidates is limited. One way to address this is for experienced leaders to pool and share their knowledge. To this end the Sol Plaatje Institute for Media Leadership (SPI) and the Southern African Institute for Media Entrepreneurship Development (SAIMED) co-hosted a Leadership Lekgotla -- a space where leaders meet to share experiences, discuss important issues and gather solutions.
The three-day event -- funded by the Netherlands Institute for Southern Africa (NIZA) -- was held in Johannesburg in August 2007. Twenty delegates from print and radio sectors in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe explored themes such as leadership styles, managing people, editorial ethics and problems they encounter and how they resolve them.
Information gathered from focus groups, two-person teams, storytelling, brainstorming, key speakers and plenary sessions are captured in a book now available throughout the region. The aim is to draw on the collective experiences of people with a proven track record in media leadership, and assemble a range of principles, ideas, techniques and strategies to guide, assist and, importantly, inspire Africa's current and budding media leaders.

International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX). 2007. Media Sustainability Index (MSI).
An initiative of the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX), the Media Sustainability Index provides research-based information on the state of the media throughout the African continent.
Leading media specialists in each country were recruited to rate the strength and sustainability of media in their countries according to multiple indicators within five broad objectives. These objectives measure the degree of free speech protection; professional journalism; plurality of news sources; business management; and supporting institutions. The indicators and objectives reflect criteria widely accepted as constituting a healthy, effective, economically sound and independent media industry.
The SPI's contribution to this valuable project was to conduct the research in Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa and Zambia.

And there's a whole range of brands offering fab on-trend clothes to flatter your bump and keep you stylish throughout your pregnancy, whether that be maternity jeans, tops or a gorge frock for a special night out. However, when it came to dressing your bump without the frump, New Look with its range of maternity clothes modelled on the latest fashions came up trumps.

The Decent One (2014)
*. I think we're all familiar with the stories about the psychopathic serial killer who lives next door. The neighbours, when interviewed will say he always seemed like a nice guy, perhaps not perfectly normal but just a bit odd in some ways. You would have never guessed . . .
*. The Decent One (Der Anständige) is basically a historical variation on this theme, being an epistolary biography of SS commander Heinrich Himmler and his family. It consists entirely of passages from a recently discovered trove of letters and diaries written by Himmler and his wife and daughter. They depict a thoroughly conventional bourgeois marriage (complete with mistress on the side). Himmler even insisted the letters be numbered. He was that kind of person.
*. The juxtaposition being made is between the private and the public Himmler, and you're left to decide for yourself what the connection is between the two. A few years earler Peter Longerich had published a massive biography of Himmler whose basic conclusion was that the man had been absorbed into the uniform, suggesting an erasure of the line between public and private life. So that's one way to go.
*. I don't think Longerich had seen the letters used here but I don't think it would have made much difference. Himmler doesn't seem to have been that hard to figure out. In most ways he was a conventional prig. Even his affair is dull, expressed in the conventional language of romance. Meanwhile, I find men (and I know several) who call their wives "mother" or "mummy" to be, if I may be judgmental, weird.
*. What I came away with was a portrayal not so much of the banality of evil but the banality of the kind of life that provided the soil for that evil. Himmler the monster wasn't the product of poverty or abuse, but of a solid middle-class upbringing. "Decency" was part of the class code. What it meant was keeping up appearances. So having a mistress, or running a death camp, was fine as long as you didn't talk about it.
*. Apparently director Vanessa Lapa's addition of sound effects to go with the silent film footage upset some people. It's a subject that comes up in a lot of reviews. I didn't know this had become such a bugbear for people who watch documentaries. I'd thought such a universal practice was pretty much taken for granted these days. Peter Jackson, for example, does it in They Shall Not Grow Old. What I find even more surprising in this is that I actually consider myself to be a purist in these matters and none of it bothers me.
*. Well, if such liberties upset you then consider yourself warned. I didn't mind the sound, or anything much about the production. I didn't, however, find The Decent One to be a revelation of anything, if there was anything much there to be revealed.

Boring. Pirates of the Caribbean would be more fun.
Sigh. So you're out?
Nope of course not. Just bringing better movies.
Like? Oh, are you making breakfast?
Not yet, still doing the sitting in bed reading and having tea and coffee thing. It's brunch not breakfast today. Also I already mooted Pirates of the Caribbean didn't you read that?
But that ship was captained by a lovable rogue, we've got Bookstodge….can you rustle up some crumpets ?
Don't diss the Booky he'll drive us into the Bermuda Triangle and we'll never be seen again. I don't really do crumpets, no caramelised onions in them you see.
Hold the onions, just a few crumpets, nice and warm please….
We'll have a chef on the ship so you'll have to talk to him, I'm having full English, need my strength to go up the mixer mast if necessary.
Mixer mast? Wut?
Oops your dyslexia is catching!! I meant the mizzen mast!
Sigh. See previous message.
Mizzen masts are a thing when you're at sea so no gibberish from this ladY!
Take it to the captain…
Cap'n Booky know the score, he's a sea worthy sort.
Captain Fish Face more like
He'll be sending you to the bilge if you don't behave.
Most of his blog is bilge, so that shouldn't be a problem…
And we're off! Good morning 10!
Good morning! Good way to start the day, a nice bit of sledging!
I know I'm going to regret asking, but what are you on about with sledging? Is it snowing where you are?
Sledging; making fun of others in an affectionate, seemingly competitive way…
New one for me, I like it!
Alex Good March 6, 2021 at 5:29 am
This is definitely not vacation viewing. Pretty grim stuff. Worth checking out though.
The new Puritanism when it comes to not making any changes to documentary footage is weird. Especially when it's just cosmetic touches.
Similar thing happened when people learned David Attenborough wildlife programmes had added sound, and that wasn't even a silent programme!
I love those BBC nature docs, but always assumed they'd added a lot of the sound. The only time I got a little miffed at them was when they showed that they'd actually built a kind of diorama thing to make it look like it was something they found out in the wild. But I think they only did that once. Usually they're pretty good about stuff like that, plus they include those "making of" bits at the end of each episode so you can see how they did it.
I love the how they did it bits!
The images were recovered with cameras and no sound was recorded. The original source material was there. Don't people realise how many things are done to archive to get them onto our screens?
No, I don't think many people know how much goes into post-production with regard to sound even in feature films. Or, for that matter, how songs are basically put together out of a pile of different tracks in recording studios. It's a complicated process.
Anyone win your quiz? what is the actual prize?
No one person has actually completed a quiz. Nor has one been finished by the collective minds of the Internet. The prize, should this ever be achieved, would be unparalleled bragging rights.
Got them already, no need to get back in the ring having aced your quiz time and time again…
*sigh* Bragging without actual achievement is only an empty boast. I'm thinking it's time to have one of my graduate-level quizzes next.
Bring it on, bunny! I'll ace that too!
I missed the quiz somehow will have a bash after brunch.

Timbaland Biography
Timbaland & Magoo are a hip-hop duo from Norfolk, Virginia that stormed onto the scene in the fall of 1997 with their debut single Up Jumps Da' Boogie and album, Welcome to Our World. The duo met when they were teenagers in the early '90s. Over the next few years, they worked together intermitently as they concentrated on breaking into the music business. By the mid-'90s, Timbaland had established himself as a promising producer and in 1996 he began having hits. He produced Ginuwine's hit Pony, as well SWV's Can We and Aaliyah's One in a Million. Magoo had written a handful of cuts on the Ginuwine albums, as well as Missy Misdemeanor Elliot's debut, Supa Dupa Fly, which also featured several tracks produced by Timbaland. By 1997, the pair decided to launch a recording career together and in the fall of that year they released their debut album, Welcome to Our World. Its release was preceded by Up Jumps Da' Boogie, a single featuring Missy Elliot and Aaliyah that became a Top 10 R&B hit. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Estas ferramentas são utilizadas para identificar áreas que cumprem um determinado número de critérios diferentes definidos por si. Estes critérios podem ser baseados em consultas de atributos (por exemplo, parcelas que estão vazias) e relações espaciais (por exemplo, a 1 Km do rio). As áreas encontradas podem ser seleccionadas a partir de elementos existentes (como parcelas de terrenos existentes) ou novos elementos podem ser criados onde todos os requisitos sejam cumpridos.

 Encontrar Locais Existentes procura por áreas existentes numa camada que atendam a uma série de critérios.

 Derivar Novas Localizações cria novas áreas a partir de localizações na área de estudo que cumprem um conjunto de critérios.

Analisar Modelos

Estas ferramentas ajudam-no a identificar, quantificar, e visualizar modelos espaciais nos seus dados.

 Calcular Densidade leva quantidades conhecidas de algum fenómeno e se espalha estas quantidades em todo o mapa.

 Localizar Hot Spots permite identificar clustering com relevância estatística no padrão espacial dos dados.

 Interpolar Pontos prevê valores em novos locais baseados em medições encontrados numa colecção de pontos.

Calcular Densidade

Análise de densidade leva quantidades conhecidas de algum fenómeno e espalha estas quantidades em todo o mapa. Pode usar essa ferramenta, por exemplo, para mostrar a concentração de quedas de raios ou tornados, o acesso a serviços de cuidados de saúde, e as densidades populacionais.

Localizar Hot Spots

Esta ferramenta cria um mapa que mostra qualquer tipo de clustering com relevância estatística presente nos dados. Utilize esta ferramenta para detetar hot spots (vermelhos) e cold spots (azuis) inesperados de valores altos e baixos de casas, densidades de criminalidade, vítimas mortais de acidentes de viação, desemprego ou biodiversidade, por exemplo.

Interpolar Pontos

Esta ferramenta permite-lhe prever valores em novos locais baseados em medições encontrados numa colecção de pontos. A ferramenta leva dados de ponto com valores em cada ponto e retorna zonas classificadas pelos valores previstos. Pode usar esta ferramenta, por exemplo, para prever os níveis de precipitação numa bacia hidrográfica com base em medições feitas em pluviómetros individuais.

Utilizar Proximidade

  Essas ferramentas ajuda a responder a uma das perguntas mais comuns colocadas em análise espacial: "O que é que está perto do quê?"

 Liguar Origens a Destinos mede o tempo de viagem ou distância entre pares de pontos.

 Criar Buffers cria áreas equidistantes em relação a elementos.

 Criar Áreas de Tempo de Condução encontra áreas em torno de locais que podem ser alcançados dentro de um determinado período de tempo.

 Localizar Próximo identifica os lugares que são o mais próximo de locais conhecidos.

 Planear Percursos determina a melhor maneira de planear uma frota de veículos a visitar muitos sítios.

Ligar Origens a Destinos

Ligue Origens a Destinos mede o tempo de viagem ou distância entre pares de pontos. A ferramenta pode reportar distâncias em linha recta, as distâncias ou tempos de viagem. Usando esta ferramenta, você pode

Calcular a distância total ou tempo que os passageiros viajam nas suas viagens casa-trabalho.

Medir qual a distancia a que os clientes estão a viajar para fazer compras nas suas lojas. Use estas informações para definir o seu alcance de mercado, especialmente quando visa campanhas publicitárias ou a escolha de novos locais de armazenamento.

Calcule a quilometragem viagem prevista para a sua frota de veículos. Depois disso, execute a ferramenta Resumir Dentro para relatar quilometragem por estado ou outra região.

Você fornece pontos inicial e final, e a ferramenta devolve uma camada que contém as linhas de percurso , incluindo medidas, entre as origens e destinos emparelhados.

Criar Buffers

Um buffer é uma área que abrange uma determinada distância de um elemento de ponto, linha ou área.

Os buffers são normalmente utilizados para criar áreas que podem ser sujeitas a análise adicional utilizando outras ferramentas, como, por exemplo, Sobrepor Camadas. Por exemplo, se a pergunta é "Quais os edifícios que a uma milha da escola?", a resposta pode ser encontrada através da criação de um buffer de uma milha ao redor da escola e sobrepondo o buffer com a camada que contém os limites dos edifícios. O resultado final é uma camada com os edifícios que estão a uma milha da escola.

Criar Áreas de Tempo do Percurso

Uma área de tempo de condução é uma área que pode ser alcançada num determinado período de tempo de condução ou dentro de uma distância de condução definida. Áreas de tempo de condução podem ajudar a responder a questões tais como:

Até onde posso ir conduzindo cerca de 30 minutos de carro?

Até onde posso ir conduzindo cerca de 30 minutos de carro às 6:00 da tarde em plena hora de ponta?

A que áreas da cidade a corporação de bombeiros pode chegar em cinco minutos? Como a cobertura de resposta a incêndios pode melhorar através da construção de um novo quartel de bombeiros aqui?

Quais as áreas de mercado que o meu negócio não cobre? Que áreas se encontram numa área de 10 milhas em relação às minhas lojas?

Localizar Mais Próximo

Analisa o custo de deslocações entre incidentes e instalações, e determina os que se encontram mais próximos. O resultado é uma camada que mostra os melhores percursos entre incidentes e instalações, juntamente com o custo de deslocações (tempo e distância) de cada percurso. Por exemplo, pode utilizar esta ferramenta para localizar o hospital mais próximo de um acidente ou a caixa Multibanco mais próxima da sua localização actual.

Planear Rotas

Fornece um conjunto de paragens e o número de veículos disponíveis para visitar as paragens, e Planear Percursos determina como atribuir de forma eficiente as paragens para os veículos e encaminha os veículos para as paragens.

Utilize esta ferramenta para planejar o trabalho para uma equipe móvel de inspectores, avaliadores, prestadores de serviços de apoio em casa, e outros; entregar ou pegar itens em locais remotos, ou oferecer serviços de transporte para as pessoas.

Gerir Dados

Esta ferramenta é utilizada para a administração de dados geográficos, e para conciliar os dados antes da análise.

 Dissolver Limites funde áreas que partilham uma fronteira comum e um valor de atributo comum.

 Extrair Dados cria novos conjuntos de dados extraindo elementos dos dados existentes.

 Juntar Camadas copia todos os elementos de duas ou mais camadas existentes para uma nova camada.

 Sobrepor Camadas combina uma ou mais camadas numa camada individual. Pode pensar na sobreposição como um conjunto de mapas e criação de um único mapa que contém todas as informações encontradas nesse conjunto de mapas.

Dissolver Limites

Áreas que se sobrepõem ou partilham um limite são fundidas de forma a formar uma única área.

Pode controlar quais os limites a serem fundidos, especificando um campo Por exemplo, se tiver uma camada de concelhos e cada concelho tiver um atributo  State_Name, pode dissolver limites utilizando o atributo State_Name. Concelhos adjacentes serão combinados se tiverem o mesmo valor de State_Name. O resultado final é uma camada com todos os limites fundidos.

Extrair Dados

Cria um ficheiro zip, CSV ou KMZ de dados das suas camadas e uma área de interesse especificada por si.

Juntar Camadas

Copia elementos a partir de duas ou mais camadas existentes para uma nova camada, por exemplo:

Eu tenho três camadas para a Inglaterra, Gales e Escócia, e eu quero uma única camada da Grã-Bretanha.

Eu tenho 12 camadas e cada uma contém informações parcelares de municípios contíguos. Quero juntá-las numa só camada, mantendo apenas os atributos que têm o mesmo nome e o mesmo tipo nas 12 camadas de entrada.

Sobrepor Camadas

A ferramenta Sobrepor permite combinar uma ou mais camadas numa camada individual. Pode imaginar a sobreposição como o ato de olhar para uma pilha de mapas e criar um só mapa que contém todas as informações encontradas na pilha, por exemplo:

Que parcelas estão dentro da área de inundação de 100 anos? (Dentro é apenas outra maneira de dizer sobre.)

Que estradas se encontram dentro dos municípios?

Que uso do solo se encontra naquele tipo de solo?

Que poços estão dentro de bases militares abandonadas?

ABOUT THIS BOOK | REVIEWS | TOC
Roads to Power tells the story of how Britain built the first nation connected by infrastructure, how a libertarian revolution destroyed a national economy, and how technology caused strangers to stop speaking.
In early eighteenth-century Britain, nothing but dirt track ran between most towns. By 1848 the primitive roads were transformed into a network of highways connecting every village and island in the nation—and also dividing them in unforeseen ways. The highway network led to contests for control over everything from road management to market access. Peripheries like the Highlands demanded that centralized government pay for roads they could not afford, while English counties wanted to be spared the cost of underwriting roads to Scotland. The new network also transformed social relationships. Although travelers moved along the same routes, they occupied increasingly isolated spheres. The roads were the product of a new form of government, the infrastructure state, marked by the unprecedented control bureaucrats wielded over decisions relating to everyday life.
Does information really work to unite strangers? Do markets unite nations and peoples in common interests? There are lessons here for all who would end poverty or design their markets around the principle of participation. Guldi draws direct connections between traditional infrastructure and the contemporary collapse of the American Rust Belt, the decline of American infrastructure, the digital divide, and net neutrality. In the modern world, infrastructure is our principal tool for forging new communities, but it cannot outlast the control of governance by visionaries.
In its masterful integration of technological and political history, this book provides an original, lucid, and exceptionally well-written study of an important episode in the modern co-evolution of transportation infrastructure and government power.
-- Rosalind Williams, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Guldi describes how the construction of Britain's road network signaled the emergence of a new infrastructure state, bringing conflict in its wake even as it helped to unify the nation and to reconfigure relationships between strangers. Moving elegantly between political, social and cultural history, she places mobility and communications at the heart of historical understanding of how Britain's modernity was made. Beautifully researched and conceived, Roads to Power represents a formidable intellectual achievement.
-- Simon Gunn, University of Leicester
If anyone doubts the power of infrastructure investment to change the course of a nation, they have only to read Roads to Power. Required for those who aim to shape the 21st century.
-- Tim O'Reilly, Founder and CEO, O'Reilly Media Inc.
As cogent as any turnpike map, engineered as efficiently as any long-distance military conduit, Roads to Power traces the history of the bitter battles over infrastructure that are still with us today.
-- John Stilgoe, Harvard University
Guldi's vivid and vital book shows how the revolution in British roads changed everything: state power, local politics, religion, manners, and imagination. Alert to detail, pattern, and surprise, she gives us progress and collapse, new openness and new barriers, promise and threat, in a single concise story. There is a lot to learn here and much to enjoy.
-- Jedediah Purdy, Duke University
We know roads -- we've known for at least a century and a half how they built a nation by unifying a people. Or do we? In Roads to Power, Guldi displays the power of a broad-gauged revolt against centralization, unification, and expert rule. This original, beautifully researched book shows how towns and poorer travelers wanted their local affiliations to stand. Guldi persuasively argues that the story of road-building is one of conflict, not simply a linear march toward the rule of the center over the periphery. It is a terrific piece of history.
-- Peter Galison, Harvard University
Social networks have history. In order to understand what's unfolding in a digital age, it's crucial to step back and think about prior technological turns. Roads to Power offers a brilliant glimpse into the history of social networks in an information revolution -- how women, working people, and utopians used the infrastructure at their disposal to imagine alternatives to the reality in which they live. An absolute must read for historians and digerati alike.
-- Danah Boyd, New York University
In modern society, roads are often taken for granted. Guldi examines the history of Britain's road-building enterprises in the 18th and 19th centuries...Guldi points out many ways that this uniting technology greatly divided Britain. This period also provides an interesting case study in the history of technology as civil engineering emerges as its own discipline. Guldi also shows that, from its infancy, engineering has been about more than just developing new technologies and applying them to solve problems--it has required a certain level of salesmanship...Recommended for all interested in city planning and the history of civil engineering.
-- William Baer Library Journal
The story of British roads is more interesting than you might expect, and Jo Guldi tells it well in Roads to Power: Britain Invents the Infrastructure State.
-- Daniel Hannan Wall Street Journal
In this interesting and readable book, Jo Guldi explores the origins and rise of the 'infrastructure state' through an historical analysis of centralized road planning, investment and regulation in Britain...Transport historians, especially those writing from recent mobility perspectives, will welcome the focus on social and cultural dimensions of travel, aspects of transport history that have long been neglected. More than this, historiographically, the book sets a challenging agenda for interpreting this key transitional period in British history; Guldi's account restores the state to the center of the story...This is a skillfully written and provocative book. Its greatest strengths lie in its in-depth coverage of two previously underexplored areas of state-led road expansion, including a meticulous analysis of new construction technologies, and in its exploration of the (sometimes unexpected) impact that new infrastructure could have on the users of roads and the communities served by them. Its wider arguments, if accepted, will prompt a significant re-conceptualization of 18th- and 19th-century British political and economic history.
