BRT in Kuching developing a name & face?
6 Comments on BRT in Kuching developing a name & face?
For some time, TRANSIT has been following proposals for a bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Kuching.
The early proposal for a BRT system was called the Kuching City Area Transit (CAT, of course) and would have had a number of lines running through the Kuching town area as well as to the north side of the river. The proposals for Kuching CAT seemed to emphasize loops around different parts of Kuching City.
The original route map proposal for Kuching CAT.
Click here for a larger version of the image above.
The most recent proposal is to have a Kuching BRT system that focuses on service on major road corridors. Rather than loops, this proposal focuses on building up demand in certain corridors.
Both proposals have been given strong support by Sarawak Urban Development Minister Abang Johari Openg, who has been wondering why it is taking so long to get approval from the federal government for a project that only costs RM200 million.
The bus rapid transit proposal also received support from a recent summit on public transport for Kuching. You can see TRANSIT's comments here, which we will also re-iterate below.
Most recently, TRANSIT has noted an image posted in a forum on Kuching Public Transport that shows a "Kuching Transit" bus service. Is it official or someone's fantasy drawing? We don't know yet….
Photoshopped images of Bus Rapid Transit services in Mexico City & Bangkok give us an idea of what a Kuching Transit BRT might look like. Note that the logo resembles that of RapidKuching.
TRANSIT: Note that the logo on the image uses the Bar & Roundel motif commonly associated with Transport for London, as well as colours associated with RapidKuching.
The image has a photo-shopped BRT vehicle from Mexico City's Bus Rapid Transit, as well as a photo-shopped rendering of the Bangkok BRT system (one which has been posted on TRANSIT's website a number of times).
The original images:

What? Bus lanes? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
That, in a nutshell, seems to be the message that gets out whenever we in Malaysia happen to discuss bus lanes, "busways" and bus rapid transit.
We guess that the reason for this is simple: the public likes simple thoughts & ideas, they have no faith in complicated proposals, and they have been convinced that traffic flow is somehow an important, even sacred concept that should determine how we build our cities & communities.
Kuching is making a wise choice by looking at a realistic solution to public transport – building rapid transit services using mostly existing infrastructure, enhancing the streetscape, and making it clear that pedestrians & public transport users are as important as car drivers.
Sadly, the Sarawak government only has access to RM200 million – hardly enough to create the Bus Rapid Transit system that Kuching needs, considering all costs & other factors.
The other thing that has to be considered is that by selecting "BRT" as the mode, they are not doing that much different from those who say "we need LRT/MRT" without providing data & evidence to show it is justified.
TRANSIT recognizes the importance of Bus Rapid Transit in Kuching, but we also believe there is enough demand to support a light rail corridor running from Kuching Sentral, past Kuching Airport and all the way up the Kuching Waterfront.
We would love to be able to prove the numbers beyond a "strong hunch" and we would love to have more evidence than "that's an old railway corridor (Sarawak Government Railway) so it would be ideal for a tramway"
But sometimes we get these feelings in our bones and we just know that it is right.
Now…regarding the renders above, including the name & face of Kuching BRT – you are welcome to draw your own conclusions – and as always, share your comments with us in the space below.

Kurasays:
Looking at the pics, I suppose the BRT is going to be something like a tram but having the flexibility of a bus. I like it having a high floor level, meaning that the floor level inside the bus would be nearly stepless and be more like a train.
transitmysays:
@kura
Of course, if the service is going to be more like a train, why not just build a train? There are cities that offer high-floor Rapid Tram systems (Calgary & Edmonton in Canada, and Buffalo in the USA are just a few examples).
MRT trains in Chicago (which are smaller-sized carriages similar in size to our Ampang LRT) also run across certain streets in the outskirts of Chicago.

LRT for Kuching? who said that? do they have mind? some of them even suggest to build HSR from kuching to KK? I LOLed
@epul
Everyone wants an LRT for their city. Right now after KL the talk is to build LRT in Penang & Johor Baru (according to SPAD), LRT in Ipoh (according to the Ipoh Council) and LRT in Kuching too.
At least the Kuching & Sarawak governments are being a bit more sensible than, say, Ipoh.
But as we said in the post, TRANSIT believes there is enough demand for a rapid tram service between Kota Sentosa, Kuching Sentral, Kuching Airport, and the Kuching Waterfront (and eventually across the river to Petra Jaya) along the Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce corridor (it has other names too but it is the longest, straightest north-south road in Kuching and clearly shows its roots as a railway alignment).
keposays:
Hello epul…y dun think one step further…LRT solve all transportation problems…also population problems…hope u get it
JEFFREY ANGsays:
To be frank with all of you since CVLB will in charge for this project, it worries me a lot. Literally a lot, you Sarawakians especially Kuching people, all of you'd better cross your fingers and hope for a swift, efficient and smooth construction of this BRT project.

2023 Porsche Panamera Review and Details
Elenor Kling8 hours agoLast Updated: January 11, 2022
The update that the Porsche Panamera will receive in the coming months will delay the launch of the new generation. The third of the sports saloon, which has all the signs of becoming electric in 2024. Today, a high percentage of sales correspond to the plug-in hybrid versions, which will accelerate its transformation, and of which we show you a preview in form recreation.
Porsche has ensured that a high percentage of sales of the Panamera is of the plug-in hybrid versions, a combination of performance and efficiency that reaches an explosive level in the case of the Turbo S E-Hybrid. The German firm had the intention of converting the sports saloon to this propulsion in its third generation that was scheduled for 2023. But there is interesting news about it.
And it is that its maximum rivals will also become electric. The Audi Landjet, a replacement for the A8, is one of them, the future 5 Series and 7 Series will have up to three electric versions each, and Bentley also works on a similar model. A factor to take into account, and that Porsche values, in addition to assuming that the sales of the plug-in hybrid Panamera open the door wide to a total transformation that is only one step away, one more step. We anticipate the first preview of the future Porsche Panamera Electric in this recreation.
The future Porsche Panamera Electric, a more practical alternative to the Taycan
The sports brand will not radically transform aesthetics but will be an evolved design as in the current and previous generation, although new features will be implemented. The silhouette will not change excessively, other than due to an increase in the wheelbase and a lower height. Of course, the front will inherit details from the Taycan, with a much cleaner front and a reduced grill to a minimum, while under the headlights it will have openings to direct the flow of air into the wheel arches.
At the rear, Panamera Electric will also adopt the more modern image of the pilots, simplified to a few thin strands of LEDs stretched between the ends of the rear. A more modern look on all four sides, which will continue to preserve the main essence of the Panamera that customers like so much. And with the plus that it is a five-door with a hatchback, so it will not step on the terrain of the Taycan, which Oliver Blume has also recently pointed out regarding possible cannibalization between the models.
If it is confirmed that the Panamera will be transformed into an electric one, the future model will be the second of the brand to use the PPE platform, which allows mounting up to four electric motors with a maximum power of 1,000 kW. A figure equivalent to 1,359 CV, and as far as the Taycan does not go. Wild but possible figures. Under the bodywork, it will have a new generation of batteries, releasing solid-state batteries, of which the manufacturer has already estimated to have them ready by the middle of the decade; even advance them a year and be able to exceed a thousand kilometers.

Time Outs
Smile-breaks
From Paul
Appliances conspire to save me
Staying at home gets boring. Huge understatement, but true, so I've tossed out my habit of getting things done efficiently. Used to be I'd take the clothes out of the dryer and put the clothes from the washer into the dryer in one trip. Not any more. Now I make two trips out of it. Empty the dryer; come back, move the washed clothes into the dryer. Two minutes instead of one filled up. Less time for boredom.
I always prided myself on figuring out the most efficient way to do things. Now I figure out the longest way; the way with the most moving about. Good for the exercise and helps to fill the boring minutes of stay-at-home days.
Seems my shiny appliances noticed the too-frequently bored expression on my face and, out of desperation, conspired to rouse me out of my stupor. It started with the dishwasher sticking out its gasket at me—the gasket that is usually tucked into place on the right side of the tub. I shoved it back in and told it to "Stay!" but of course it didn't. And then it did. But I knew. The dishwasher has served me well for eight years and it was still functioning properly, but the gasket would have to be replaced.
Being that the pandemic has shut off all reasonable courses of action—like haircuts and the sort—the appliance repair company I depend on for all things appliance-related, was—of course—"temporarily closed."
Now what? For me, it's go to Yelp and look for a highly-rated appliance repair company that's open, hoping I'd find one. And I did. JM Appliance had enough stars in its ratings and it wasn't "temporarily closed," so I called and, being a Sunday, left a message. JM called me right back! Yay! And came out the next day and replaced the gasket and that was that with the dishwasher.
But that wasn't the end of the plan to relieve me of my boredom. No way. The very next day, the garbage disposal piped up with a low growl, "My turn!" I recognized the hum of an appliance that is not going to kick in and do its job. Back to the phone. The plumber arrived two days later with a new disposal, which he quickly installed and that was the end of that.
Everything happens in threes, right? Aware of this, I was hardly surprised when two days later, the washing machine began whistling quietly as it scrubbed and sloshed the clothes. The washer, a bit older than the dishwasher, had served me faithfully for well over ten years. I'm not telling you that I bragged about it to JM the day he replaced the gasket in the dishwasher.
So I called JM once more, because you know and I know that the last thing on earth anyone would want is for a washing machine to stop dead in the midst of tossing clothes around in a full-of-water tub. I said I thought it was the belt. He came, he conquered. Well, actually he didn't have to conquer. His thorough inspection told him what he'd suspected: the washing machine was in good condition. "By the way," he said with a smile, "there are no belts on this machine. The whistling you heard was probably the sound of the water as it filled the tub."
So the conspiracy of the appliances achieved its purpose—saved me from boredom.For a few days at least. Not the way I would have chosen, but still. . .
*As a footnote, I have to say I would welcome a little boredom after the events of early January.

Robert Hughes: the last art critic
"Some think that so much of today's art mirrors and thus criticizes decadence, not so – it's just decadent, full stop. It has no critical function, it is part of the problem. The art world beautifully copies our money driven, celebrity obsessed, entertainment culture; same fixation on fame, same obedience to mass media that jostles for our attention with its noise and wow and flutter." - Robert Hughes.
Robert Hughes died on August 6, 2012, at the age of 74. He passed away at a hospital in New York following a long unspecified illness. There are more than a few obituaries written for Mr. Hughes… you can ignore them all. Let Hughes' sharp-witted writings and proclamations be his obituary; his lacerating words are enough to understand why he is still an indispensable force in today's money besotted art world.
Photo of Robert Hughes by Australian photographer, Julian Kingma -www.kingmaandkingma.com
The quote that opens this remembrance of Mr. Hughes came from his 2008 documentary film for Britain's Channel 4 television, The Mona Lisa Curse. The film explored, in the words of Hughes, how "the entanglement of big money with art has become a curse on how art is made, controlled, and above all - in the way that it's experienced."
The great majority of obituaries for Hughes rightfully mention his 1980 book and TV series, The Shock of the New, or his 1997 book and TV series American Visions, conversely, few if any mention his last major documentary, The Mona Lisa Curse. While many commentators laud Hughes for the vital contributions he made to the public's understanding of art, they fall silent when it comes to The Mona Lisa Curse, a work that so upset the postmodern apple cart that it has been cast into oblivion.
Soon after its Sept. 18, 2008 broadcast on British TV, I found that The Mona Lisa Curse had received virtually no attention in the United States; the blackout affected the mainstream press (New York Times, Los Angeles Times, etc.), the art press, and the blogosphere. Mercifully, someone posted the entire documentary in twelve parts to YouTube in November of 2009, whereupon I immediately wrote a web log post about the documentary. My post provided a link to each of the twelve streaming video segments on YouTube, gave a summation of each part, and included pull quotes from Mr. Hughes.
Since my post was apparently the only article in existence that directly linked to The Mona Lisa Curse video on YouTube, I would like to think that thousands were exposed to Hughes' masterwork due to my efforts.
As of this writing the U.S. press remains mute when it comes to The Mona Lisa Curse. The film is unavailable on Amazon.com and Netflix.com because it has not been released as a DVD by its producer C4/Oxford Film & Television. The company has provided no information on when the documentary might see the light of day. For all practical purposes Hughes' most profound and deeply pertinent work continues to be unheard of; his polemics certainly did not win him any favors, but then, they were not meant to - his aim was to banish a curse.
In The Shock of the New TV series Hughes spoke of modern architecture and how its visual language serves the needs of state power; it was an analysis that foreshadowed the formidable critique to come later in The Mona Lisa Curse. Hughes' survey included critical observations regarding the imperial architectural designs of fascist Italy and Germany from the 1930s, an aesthetic he recognized in the style of corporate architecture found in the 1980s. The concluding words of my short eulogy to Robert Hughes were uttered by the great man himself during his televised Shock of the New exposition on architecture:
"As far as today's politics is concerned art aspires to the condition of muzak, it provides the background hum for power. If the Third Reich had lasted until today the young bloods in the party wouldn't be interested in old fogies like Albert Speer or Arno Breker, they'd be queuing up to have their portraits done by Andy Warhol. It's hard to think of any work of art of which one could say, 'This made men more just to one another', or 'This saved the life of one Jew or one Vietnamese.' Books perhaps, but as far as I know… no paintings or sculptures. The difference between us and the artists in the 20s, is that they thought that such a work of art could be made. Perhaps it was their naïveté that they could think so - but it's our loss that we can't."

In recent years, motor vehicle manufacturer safety recalls have become ever more common. However, even with the notifications vehicle owners receive, Internet information, and media attention, completion rates for safety recalls are still surprisingly low. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has promulgated regulations and developed tools for vehicle owners that are intended to help improve recall completion rates, there still remains a large percentage of vehicles that are never remedied. This could mean that there is still a significant number of vehicles being operated on our highways that present a risk to the public.
Safety-related recalls can occur for many reasons. These reasons may include problems associated with the introduction of new technologies, supplier mistakes, quality control problems, or any number of other unexpected causes.
While reasons may vary, the number of safety-related recalls for motor vehicles appears to be on the rise. In 2014, there were just more than 800 separate vehicle recalls involving more than 69 million vehicles. The 2015 number may approach 900 motor vehicle recalls—not including equipment-related safety recalls.
When a manufacturer decides a safety defect exists in the vehicles it produces, it must notify NHTSA and its dealers as well as owners. As of February 2014, envelopes containing a notification of a safety related recall must have the label shown in Photo 1.
The notification must contain certain information that includes a description of the safety-related defect, the safety risk, and what the remedy is. The notification must also identify that the remedy is available at no cost to the vehicle owner. In certain cases, you may receive a notice that indicates a remedy is not yet available but will be at a later date.
Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for their vehicles and all original equipment installed on them. This means that even if the safety defect or noncompliance is in an item of equipment on the vehicle that the vehicle manufacturer did not manufacture, it is responsible for notifying owners and providing a remedy.
It is not uncommon in vehicle recalls involving defective or noncomplying original equipment, particularly those involving specialty or commercial vehicle applications, for the vehicle manufacturer and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to coordinate such that the OEM performs the repairs. This commonly occurs with engines, axles, and commercial chassis.
When a safety-related recall notification is received, open it immediately and read completely. Focus on the identified risk or what could happen if the safety defect is not remedied. The identified risk does not mean the condition will happen but that it could happen. The intent of the notification is to prevent the risk from happening. Depending on the nature of the safety-related defect, the notification may state the risk is fire, personal injury, equipment damage, or a crash. If a failure could result because of the safety-related defect, the notification may state that the failure could occur without warning.
While getting a safety-related defect remedied in your personal vehicle is very important, getting it remedied on a fire apparatus is critically important. A fire apparatus has multiple purposes that typically involve some type of emergency situation. A safety-related defect may prohibit the apparatus from responding to the emergency situation or prohibit the apparatus from performing its function while on the scene of an emergency situation. Given the mission of a fire apparatus, a safety related defect may not only put the occupants of the apparatus at risk but may increase the risk to those people who are involved in, or in close proximity to, an emergency situation.
In large departments, there may be a wide range of people involved in procuring a fire apparatus or fire apparatus fleet. The range of people may include the chief, assistant chief, city finance person, or others. Each of these serves an important role in the fire department or fire protection service, and they may receive safety recall notifications. If the recipient is not directly involved in maintaining or servicing the apparatus, he may have to forward it on, possibly delaying the process.
Volunteer fire departments may protect areas where call volume is low, and members are not at the department on a regular basis. In this case the dealer and manufacturer should have the contact information for someone who can facilitate having the remedy applied. This may mean having a personal address rather than the department address on file.
When a manufacturer declares a recall, it is required by federal law to issue a notification to the owner. Having the correct address and point of contact is a critical element in getting the notification to the appropriate person in a reasonably short amount of time.
Train appropriate department staff to recognize the NHTSA "Important Safety Recall Information" symbol and to deliver it immediately to those responsible when a correspondence with the symbol is received.
Supply your apparatus sales representative(s) and apparatus manufacturer(s) with up-to-date contact information.
Search the NHTSA recall Website (safercar.gov) by the make, model, and year of each department apparatus to identify any past recalls that may not have been remedied.
Once a notification is received, it is critical that arrangements be made to have the remedy applied as quickly as possible. Working together we can keep our apparatus up to date, and ready to serve the needs of our communities.

Horrible experience. My storage was broken into here and they were rude about it. Acted as though they didn't care. Lied about sending the security footage to the cops. And by he way the security footage is only at the front gate, so the place is not secure with surveillance, no matter what the website says. Couldn't pay me to rent a storage here again. I have used Strozier mini storage and Rogers Ave Storage in the past and I would recommend them any day. Both places have actual security surveillance. Both places have honest and caring people unlike Total Self Storage.


The Giants of Surfing... and Game Development?
One of my all-time fave documentaries is Riding Giants, a documentary about three of the pioneers of big wave surfing. It focuses on three different 'eras' of surfing, telling the story of an innovator from each. I often recommend it to friends, and sometimes have commented that it makes a good parallel to innovation in the games industry. I'd never written up why I feel this is the case.
Recently, I recommended it to a friend, Mare Sheppard, who asked "Who is gaming's Laird Hamilton?". I figured I'd write up some thoughts as a response.
I love the documentary for many reasons. great footage and soundtrack, superb editing and pacing, etc. However, the thing I like most is that of the three innovators at the heart of the movie, each innovates in a very different way.
The film starts with coverage of Hawaii's north shore in the early 60's and Greg Noll. Noll is a big, brash tough guy with brass balls, who basically muscles his way onto waves no one else will tackle. He innovates with brute strength. In gaming, Noll's equivalent is maybe Rockstar, or Wargaming, or EA. Pick a goal, throw a pile of money and bodies at it. Take that hill.
The latter part of the movie covers Laird Hamilton. He (and to be fair, some others), invented "tow-in surfing", using zodiacs and jetskis to pull them into giant open-ocean waves at high speed - waves too big to paddle into. They innovated through the use of technology. In gaming, Hamilton's equivalent is Valve, or Epic, or Crytek.
The best part of the movie though, is the middle section, which focuses on Jeff Clark, the first person to surf Mavericks in Half-moon Bay, California. After a couple years of looking at a giant wave breaking off the coast into a death-trap of stones, Clark just decides to do it - because in his heart he knows he must. And then, after no one believes he did it, HE SURFS IT ALONE, WITH NO ONE WATCHING, FOR FIFTEEN YEARS! Clark's innovation is driven by passion. By love of the act itself.

96 LSIs return to Sulu, Tawi-Tawi
by Zea Capistrano
DAVAO CITY – A total of 96 stranded residents have returned to Sulu and Tawi-Tawi on Monday, the Bangsamoro government said.

In a statement, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) said the 96 locally stranded individuals (LSIs) were among the 405 passengers, who were sent home to their respective provinces in Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi (BaSulTa).
"It can be recalled that the 405 LSIs from Manila were originally bound for the BaSulTa island provinces, but were rerouted to Cagayan de Oro City on July 7," it added.
The 96 individuals boarded the MV Lady Mary Joy-3 at the Polloc Port in Parang, Maguindanao.
"Among the 96 individuals, 45 tested negative for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease), while the remaining 51 who tested positive have already recovered. All of them have completed the 14-day quarantine in the isolation facilities in BARMM," the Bangsamoro Government said.
Interior and Local Government Minister Atty. Naguib Sinarimbo assured the LSIs of their safe return to their respective provinces.
"Part of our preparation for your return is our time to time coordination with the local government units (LGUs)," Sinarimbo said.
Sinarimbo said the Bangsamoro government has provided the basic needs of the LSIs, including cash assistance, 25 kilograms of rice, groceries, medicines, and hygiene kits from the BARMM's Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) and Rapid Emergency Action on Disaster Incidence (READI).

Army Major who tied civilian to jeep in Kashmir given clean chit
An inquiry has given clean chit to Major Nitin Gogoi and senior army officers lauded him for his presence of mind to avoid casualties.
The Indian Army Major who tied a Kashmiri civilian to a jeep's bonnet as a shield against a stone-pelting mob has been given a clean chit by the Court of inquiry (CoI) convened by the Army in Jammu and Kashmir.
Following the outrage over the incident, the Army had convened a CoI on April 15, two days after the Jammu and Kashmir police had file an FIR listing a Major from 53 Rashtriya Rifles.
The CoI had not even recommended any action against the Major. According to IndiaToday, an army official said, "Court martial is out of the question. Not even disciplinary action was recommended against the officer."
Reports said the convoy led by the Major had soldiers, 12 poll officials, nine ITBP men and two policemen which was moving around at the time of Srinagar by-election. In order to escape the stone-pelting mob, he had come up with the idea of tying a man in front of the jeep.
The inquiry has reportedly given a clean chit to Major Nitin Gogoi. Senior army officers lauded him for his presence of mind to avoid casualties. Reports said senior officers were of the view that the incident was a "one-off incident that was blown out of proportion".
Farooq Ahmad Dar, a Kashmiri civilian, was tied to the jeep's bonnet as a human "shield" by 53 Rashtriya Rifles in Budgam last month.
The Army defended saying Dar was a stone-pelter , but he said he was returning home after voting when jawans picked him up. The video of the incident had gone viral on social media and led to a huge outcry. Various political leaders including former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted the visuals demanding a CoI.

Have two silver trumpets made; make them of hammered work. They shall serve you to summon the community and to set the divisions in motion.
and if only one is blown, the chieftains, heads of Israel's contingents, shall assemble before you.
while to convoke the congregation you shall blow long blasts, not short ones.
The trumpets shall be blown by Aaron's sons, the priests; they shall be for you an institution for all time throughout the ages.
And on your joyous occasions—your fixed festivals and new moon days—you shall sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your sacrifices of well-being. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I, the LORD, am your God.
and the Israelites set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. The cloud came to rest in the wilderness of Paran.
and in command of the tribal troop of Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon.
Then the Tabernacle would be taken apart; and the Gershonites and the Merarites, who carried the Tabernacle, would set out.
and in command of the tribal troop of Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel.
Then the Kohathites, who carried the sacred objects, would set out; and by the time they arrived, the Tabernacle would be set up again.
and in command of the tribal troop of Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni.

Such was the order of march of the Israelites, as they marched troop by troop.

I used to say I disagreed with New Year's Resolutions. I believed if you truly wanted change, why not start at any time? Why not always resolve to be your best? It seemed a simple idea.
Well, the answer? I had a busy year. I kept going and going and going. For me, checking in on the arbitrary guidelines and loose goals I tried to set for myself never worked. I didn't have a start and stop date. I didn't have a large block of time set up to dictate when my deadline was. The wonderful reality about New Year's resolutions is that the start date and the end date are concrete. You have until December 31st to complete what you say you are going to do. To save up for that trip you've been meaning to go on, to get that raise you've been fighting for, to eat better, love more, lose the weight. Within this allotted time, you are given a huge window of opportunity to get s*** done.
This year I got married, I started turning my Instagram project into a business (which is nowhere near it's final destination), I got a second job, we moved into a home we love, we honeymooned, I got sick, I got better. I hosted a beautiful brunch with my dear friend Rebecca. I helped instruct at an amazing branding workshop hosted by Anna Liesemeyer of In Honor of Design called the Brand Market. I went on some fun trips. I worked with brands I really like. I wrote for a brand new independent magazine and became dear friends with the editor and publisher. I was written about in a local publication. I met a lot of really, really unbelievably special people... but I still have so much to do.
What changed? Why do I believe in resolutions? I realized that with how busy I was, if I didn't have a start and stop date, I was giving myself too many allowances and making too many justifications for not achieving what I wanted. I had a GREAT year. I had such a great year that I want this year to be better. I KNOW it can be better, so I resolve to do.
One of our goals for the home is to get the rooms decorated exactly how we want. Our bedroom, pictured above, is a work in progress.
Clean / Eat clean. Live clean. Keep my relationships pure and unadulterated.
Organized / Organize my time better. Organize my home and simplify what needs modifying.
Intentional / Be attentive and aware. Make decisions because I want to and I know why. Practice good habits and know the reasons for them.
Of course, I have specific goals that tie in with these words, but those are more personal... Like specific amounts of money I want to make, goals for the home, places I want to go. Regardless of what your goals are, write them down and revisit them often. You give them power when you give them attention. When you nurture your goals, recognize where you're falling short, and keep record of your progress.
I believe 2015 will be a tremendous year of growth for me. I believe the same for you. I want to work with people more, gather more, own less, love more, worry less, and press forward. I still believe in spreading the word on the importance of mindful mornings and reflective moments. They're worth more than anything. Giving yourself a moment or two to just be as you are and how you want is invaluable.
These are reasons why I resolve to do. Why do you?

Exporters should increase business volume with neighbors, Africa: Association
July 20 2018 16:30:00
Turkish exporters should give a bigger boost to their business volume with the country's neighbors, referring mainly in the east, a leading sector player has said.
Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) President İsmail Gülle also told state-run Anadolu Agency that Turkey's exports in July seemed to rise over 20 percent and reached the highest July figure ever.
Gülle underlined that Turkey should increase its exports with neighboring countries.
He reiterated that Turkey made the largest volume of exports to the European Union.
"While our exports to the EU have been increasing, our exports to other neighbors, e.g. to Iran, Iraq or the United Arab Emirates, have been decreasing," said Gülle.
"We should better read changes on a country basis. We must look into Iran separately, for instance. We should have a separate strategy and relation with our neighbors," he said.
"Business comes before politics," Gülle said, adding that exporters would deepen their works on countries such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
He said Turkish exporters should also focus on African countries as current trade volume falls short of its potential.
"Africa is a new world, new market now. We should increase our trade volume with African countries," Gülle said.
He also said Turkey's July exports would be an important step to catch the country's export target of $173 billion for 2018.
Gülle predicted that Turkey's exports would surpass its target with prospering performance in the coming months.
He also noted that TİM would introduce new projects, which contribute directly to exports and new incentives in the coming periods.

Simon's Auto Body .: Blog | 4 reasons to buy a 2013-2018 Nissan Altima. :.
With the Altima, Nissan has had a competent midsize sedan on the market for more than two decades. The Altima was introduced back in 1993. Since then, it's evolved considerably, blossoming into a roomy family sedan that offers engaging driving dynamics.
The Nissan Altima's fifth generation was produced from 2013 to 2018. This generation is new enough to offer modern feature content, yet old enough to give used-car shoppers a respectable range of choices. And this generation provides some notable advantages over previous versions of the popular sedan.
Below, we've listed four reasons for buying a fifth-generation Altima sedan instead of previous models.
Family cars like the Altima often log a lot of miles. Choosing a model that offers good gas mileage can help you keep a handle on your monthly fuel expenses.
The fourth-generation 2012 Altima offers fuel economy of up to 23/32 mpg city/highway. With the introduction of the fifth generation, the Altima's fuel efficiency improved by a significant margin. Gas mileage for the 2013 Altima tops out at 27/38 mpg. These numbers make the Altima one of the most fuel-efficient family sedans from that year. It offers better mileage than rivals like the 2013 Honda Accord and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. Those sedans achieve mileage of up to 26/35 mpg and 25/36 mpg, respectively.
Road noise can be extremely annoying when you're behind the wheel. It can intrude on your experience when you're trying to listen to music on the stereo. And it can make it difficult for you to have a conversation with your passengers.
With the Altima's 2013 redesign, improvements were made that gave this sedan a quieter cabin. This model gets a more rigid body, and this reduces creaks and rattles. The side mirrors and A-pillar moldings were redesigned to minimize wind noise, and the engine and exhaust mounts have been improved for quieter performance. Nissan also increased the amount of noise absorption materials used in the Altima's floor mats, roof and instrument panel.
There can be notable differences in the comfort level offered by a vehicle's seating. Comfortable seating is important for all drivers, but it's especially vital if you suffer from back or shoulder problems. Seats that are too firm and unyielding can cause pain and discomfort for those wrestling with these conditions. Amenable seats are also critical for those who do lots of driving.
Nissan gave the Altima's seats a space-age makeover with the advent of the fifth generation. These models are equipped with seats that Nissan says are inspired by the weightlessness of space. To craft them, Nissan tapped seating and posture research conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. According to this organization's research, to minimize fatigue, seats should encourage the occupant to adopt a neutral posture. This posture is similar to the relaxed pose that the human body takes when it's in the weightless environment of outer space.
Known as Zero Gravity Seats, these chairs are designed to reduce stress on the bones and joints and provide support for the spine. They feature 14 different pressure points that are intended to encourage a neutral sitting position that maximizes blood flow and keeps your energy levels up while you're behind the wheel.
The seats are a lot more agreeable than the chairs in the Altima's fourth generation. If pleasant seats are a priority in your search for a used Altima, you'll want to limit your choices to models from the fifth generation.
Today's drivers have a lot of help when they're behind the wheel. Modern cars offer active safety features that are designed to provide support in critical driving situations. These features have the power to help prevent collisions.
With the fourth-generation Altima, the list of active safety features began and ended with a rearview camera. Fifth-generation cars bring in a much broader range of driver-assistive amenities. The lineup of optional equipment includes a blind-spot warning system, a lane-departure warning system and rear cross-traffic alert.
With upgrades like better fuel economy, more comfortable seats and a broader range of active safety features, the fifth-generation Altima is a big step up relative to previous models.
It's an excellent choice if you're looking for a used family sedan that's capable and up-to-date.

Brannon Howse: May 6, 2021
Guest: Terry Turchie. Topic: How The Cultural Marxists Compromised The FBI So They Could Bring Down America. Joining Brannon in studio is Terry Turchie, the former Deputy Director of the Counter Terrorism Division of the FBI. Topic: Brannon and Terry discuss how the FBI was fundamentally transformed under FBI Director Robert Mueller and FBI Director James Comey. Topic: What Americans must do to stop the Marxist revolution now underway in America. Topic: We take your calls.
Brannon Howse: January 29, 2021
The Great Reset and The Great Fascist Threat. Guests: Carl Teichrib and Terry Turchie. Topic: Carl joins us to give a report on the final day of this week's Great Reset conference. Topic: Terry joins us to discuss the Department of Homeland Security bulletin warning of white, domestic terrorists. One of the descriptions of a potential domestic terrorist is someone concerned about immigration as well as voter fraud. Topic: Terry talks about his shock and embarrassment that the FBI would arrest a young man in 2021 for a tweet in 2016 that was satire about voting for Hilary Clinton from home by texting. Terry reveals that this reveals that the FBI has become the political muscle of the Marxist democrats.
Guest: Terry Turchie, Former Assistant Director of the Counter-Terrorism Division For The FBI. This is our third radio interview with Terry and we are just scratching the surface of what he covers in his book on how the democrats are pushing us toward a Communist America. Topic: How the FBI has allowed the agents of Russia, China, Cuba, Iran and Islam to infiltrate America. Topic: Terry covers the murder of white police officers by black shooters and how the media continued to agitate for the communist movement of Black Lives Matter. Terry then describes how Obama used the funerals of some of the slain officers to agitate for racial unrest. Topic: Terry describes how wrong it is that the FBI is calling WVW Broadcaster Pastor Shahram Hadian for simply being at the President's speech in D.C. on January 6, 2021 and then reporting on it while the FBI has taken a pass on interviewing serious national security threats such one specific American taking trips to Communist Cuba.
Guests: Shahram Hadian and Bill Federer. Topic: Shahram Hadian joins us today to report how he received a phone call from the FBI this morning wanting to question him about his being in D.C. on January 6, 2021. Shahram reported that they had seen some of his videos in which he reported on the events of the day. Shahram reports that the FBI agent on three occasions told him that he should spread the word that anyone planning to go to D.C. and make trouble would be arrested. Shahram explains how he was shocked at such a statement because his followers and church attendees are made up of peaceful people and to imply otherwise Shahram found troubling and offensive.

European Pet Network (EPN) – organizacja non-profit, z siedzibą w Brukseli, łącząca europejskie bazy danych o zwierzętach oznakowanych biochipem (transponderem). Celem organizacji jest udostępnienie narzędzi umożliwiających odnalezienie właściciela oznakowanego zwierzęcia. Sieć Europejskiego Systemu Baz Danych Europetnet jest dostępna przez internet.

European Pet Network ukonstytuowało swoją działalność na początku 1997 roku w Brukseli. Organizacja ta powstała na mocy porozumienia osób, które od wielu lat zajmują się kwestią elektronicznej identyfikacji zwierząt w Europie i na świecie. European Pet Network zrzesza większość baz z terenu Europy i skupia te, które szczególnie się rozwinęły i obejmują swym działaniem znaczne regiony Europy.

Do głównych zadań EPN należy popularyzacja elektronicznej identyfikacji zwierząt domowych (głównie psów i kotów), jak również stworzenie jednej centralnej jednostki administracyjnej, mającej dane (numery transponderów) o oznakowanych zwierzętach z terenu Europy.

Każda z baz danych współpracujących z Europetnet regularnie przesyła numery transponderów z terenu swojego kraju i tym samym usprawnia formę odszukiwania zaginionych zwierząt. Wpisując numer mikroczipa na stronie wyszukiwarki Europetnet, osoba poszukująca danych o właścicielu zaginionego zwierzęcia uzyskuje informację o kraju pochodzenia zwierzęcia i kontakt z lokalną bazą dysponującą danymi kontaktowymi jego właściciela.

Remember that time, early in your career, when you received an award?
That feeling of happy pride when your name was called in front of your peers? When you were recognized for something special, when you felt that tingle of luckiness?
A bit like you, Dr Lisa Monkman also remembers receiving an award. The one she vividly remembers receiving was as an undergraduate medical student at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.
Maybe a little differently from you, however, what she remembers most clearly was not the flush of pride or the tingle of happiness.
Dr Monkman is some ways out of medical school now. She's won many more awards. The event is long since behind her.
When she's not driving up to work in the small First Nations community of Brokenhead, Man, she practises team-based, Indigenous-informed, not-fee-for-service medicine in downtown Winnipeg; she was a founding member of the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada and is now a Director on the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada Board of Directors. She balances all of this alongside being a mother and a member of the University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine. Her husband, already a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as well as being an icon in Canadian literature and journalism, just announced he is seeking leadership of the Manitoba NDP: it's a decision Wab Kinew associates closely with his marriage and life partnership with Dr Monkman.
Lisa, in other words, is a high-achieving family physician enacting change at almost every imaginable scale, from her family to her clinical practices, from her patients and their communities to the province of Manitoba and the country as a whole.
Still, the circumstances of receiving that award all those years ago, right alongside growing up Anishinaabe with 6 younger siblings in inner-city Winnipeg and a mother fighting to complete an undergraduate degree while keeping food on the table, continue to inform almost everything she does.
It's a haunting question, that question about how and why Indigenous physicians, or Indigenous peoples more broadly, are imagined and confined in the minds of so many non-Indigenous settler Canadians.
PHOTO Dr Lisa May Monkman at work in a professional setting.
PHOTOS LEFT (Bottom) Dr Monkman and her husband, politician and writer Wab Kinew. (Top) Checkups with patients Stephanie Pollok and (centre) Dr Melinda Fowler at the Brokenhead Health Centre.
PHOTO RIGHT Dr Monkman on a stroll with her little dog, Guapo, in Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, where she has her clinic.
La traduction en français de cet article se trouve à www.cfp.ca dans la table des matières du numéro de juin 2017 à la page e324.
Dr Monkman is an Anishinaabe family physician with experience in both rural and urban settings. She currently works at the ACCESS Downtown medical clinic where she provides primary care to Winnipeg's inner-city residents and homeless population. She recently founded an outreach clinic in Swan River, Man, with a focus on addiction medicine in response to local outbreaks of HIV and hepatitis C infections as a result of intravenous drug use. She is currently traveling once a week to Brokenhead Ojibway Nation to establish a medical clinic in partnership with the Northern Medical Unit and Brokenhead Ojibway Nation community members. She is a founding board member of the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada and spends her free time pursuing health and wellness in many different forms. She is a certified yoga instructor and former member of the Nay-a-No and Neebin Noodin drum groups. She currently volunteers much of her time with several different advisory boards. She works with Returning to Spirit, an organization that seeks to heal the wounds of residential schools; the Mercury Disability Management Board; the organizing committee for the 5th, 6th, and 7th International Meetings on Indigenous Child Health; and the Indigenous health advisory committee to the Canadian Paediatric Society. Dr Monkman hopes to one day further her education in pursuit of a master's degree in public health and remains committed to serving the Indigenous community in Manitoba.

Q: Can't not find the nested type in 'Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.DownloadCache.MvxFileDownloadCache/Timer There is an error with the Download cache plugin while building with the beta or alpha Xamarin build for iOS 9. Link : https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/50777/build-error-mtouch-mt2001-on-os-x-el-capitan-gm-with-xamarin-alpha-release

Thx! Any help appreciated. Currently not able to build and deploy.

A: Note: Xamarin.iOS 9.0.1.20 includes a fix tor this issue.
This is an issue with the debugging information (.mdb file) that's created from VS2013 .pdb file on Windows (and copied to the Mac). The quick workaround are to:

*

*use a release build (no debugging information); or

*upgrade to VS2015 (newer csc compiler); or

*use XS on the Mac (which will use Mono's mcs compiler);

After the "big" Notre-Dame of yesterday, here is a much smaller one - called Notre-Dame de Grace de Passy (Passy is a quarter that used to be a little village up the hill before it was integrated into Paris in 1860). I never noticed it before although it's really cute and... old (the original parts - it's been renewed and enlarged since then) were built in 1667! Have a nice weekend.
I never noticed this church when in the Passy area Eric.
I guess you're right Michael, I don't know this area, unfortunetely. Guess most tourists miss it.
Eric, thanks for these stunning pictures over the past days. Have a great weekend, you deserve it more and more!!!!
Hello Eric....long time since I've visted. Your photos are spectacular, as always!
I see you've designed a lovely calendar and I just ordered two...one for me and one for my son. Best to you and a very Happy Holiday Season.
I don't have my map handy: is this in the area of le Musee Marmottan Monet? It's one of my favorite museums.
My traveling buddy made a calendar for me last year with photos that he and I have taken in Paris. Now I'll check out the PDP calendar, since everyone is raving about it. I guarantee that it's a nice treat to see Paris memories on a daily basis hanging on my wall at work.
Ah, yes, Michael, I see, now that I checked your link.

Now, it does feel this team is at the crossroads between salvaging the season and another season that will not be remembered 3 years down the line. In 2019, Indiana is now 1-4 in their conference games. Two of these games, Indiana did not lead at any point. Maybe the one part of this that is a silver lining is that we were only predicted to win one of these 4 losses (Nebraska) while the others we were predicted to lose. However, what makes it frustrating is that we continue to take steps backwards and not meet expectations. Getting outplayed and overrun on offense and defense and this was not more evident than in our last game vs. Purdue.
Losing to Purdue 70-55 in West Lafayette is not what is expected for this season. What makes it tough is that it was a combination of small things that culminated into a substantial loss. Free throws, 3pt%, a few more turnovers, and inability to get Romeo clicking created a perfect storm of despair for the Hoosiers on Saturday.
On the bright side, this was Justin Smith's best performance of the season by far. He has not surpassed double-digit points this season against any tough opponent until against Purdue. Romeo Langford has been playing lights-out…other than this last game and furthering his stock to be a top NBA pick. The Hoosiers still have what it takes to win plenty of games and compete with the conference's best. We have the unfortunate ability to get off our stride easily and quickly and demons that have haunted us all season, continue to do so.
Our next match against Northwestern marks the second time we have faced the Wildcats this season, and we were victorious in SSAH. Unlike last time, we are not favorites in the matchup and a tough battle in SSAH with numerous lead changes, ties and no time being ahead by more than 5 points.
Archie Miller must get his team corralled and refocused. We cannot change the past, and per Kenpom there is a 50/50 chance of winning vs #59 Northwestern on Tuesday (as of 1/19). A victory would go a long way in building confidence to finish the season for the #33 Hoosiers.
Scottie Lindsey – 6'5" / 175 lbs / Guard / Senior – Hillside, IL. Last year's leading scorer with 15.2 ppg. Currently on the Grand Rapids Drive, a G league affiliate to the Detroit Pistons.
Bryant McIntosh – 6'3" / 177 lbs / Guard / Senior – Greensburg, IN. Went undrafted last year and is a member of the Leuven Bears in Belgium.
Gavin Skelly – 6'8" / 219 lbs / Forward / Senior – Westlake, OH.
Rapolas Ivanauskas – 6'9" / 210 lbs / Forward / Freshman – Barrington, IL. Transferred to Colgate and is now a starter for the Raiders averaging 16.4 ppg, 10.6 rebounds.
Vic Law – 6'7" / 185 lbs / Forward / Senior – South Holland, IL. The current point leader for the Wildcats, averaging 16.6 ppg.
Ryan Taylor – 6'5" / 187 lbs / Guard / Senior – Gary, IN. Current starter for the Wildcats. Started his career for Ohio then Evansville and now Northwestern. Has always been a starter. Contributing nearly 13 points per game.
Dererk Pardon – 6'8" / 235 lbs / Center / Senior – Cleveland, OH. Has 37 points over the last two games. Starter last year and this year. Leads team with 7.7 rebounds/game.
A.J. Turner – 6'7" / 190 lbs / Forward / Junior – Mt. Clemens, MI. Starter for the Wildcats over the last 5 games. Sporadic in his productivity, scored 0 vs Rutgers last game. Transferred from Boston College.
Barret Benson – 6'10" / 240 lbs / Center / Junior – Willowbrook, IL. Starter last game vs Rutgers and contributes about 3 ppg.
Miller Kopp – 6'7" / 210 lbs / Forward / Freshman – Houston, TX. Top 100 recruit in 2018. Seeing a modest amount of playtime this year as one of the starters.
Pete Nance – 6'10" / 210 lbs / Forward / Freshman – Akron, OH. The other top 100 recruit from 2018 for coach Chris Collins.
Ryan Greer – 6'2" / 185 lbs / Guard / Freshman – Atlanta, GA.
Jordan Ash – 6'3" / 185 lbs / Guard / Senior – Bolingbrook, IL.
Aaron Falzon – 6'8" / 225 lbs / Forward / Junior – Newton, MA.
Tino Malnati – 6'3" / 190 lbs / Guard / Sophomore – Northfield, IL.
Ryan Young – 6'10" / 235 lbs / Center / Freshman – Stewartsville, NJ. Three star recruit that has not yet seen playing time.
If there is a chance for Northwestern to get a statement win for their resume, the chance is now. One thing that is difficult for the computers to measure is momentum when it comes to teams and Indiana has absolutely no momentum coming into this game. They have been on the road 3 of their last 4 games, lost 4 in a row and their last victory was against the lowly Illinois team – Northwestern should feel like they have a chance to pull off the W on Tuesday.
Northwestern has also been struggling with injuries, but with their star, Vic Law. He was unable to play against Michigan and struggled against Iowa, but coming back to play and contributing 6 points against Rutgers proved to be the difference in securing the win. Now that he is back, the Wildcats appear to be at full strength vs a Hoosier team that is starting to overcome prior injury bugs as well.
Expect Northwestern to rely heavily on Vic Law and Dererk Pardon again. Together this pair contributed 40 of their 66 points last time these teams met. Juwan Morgan will be looking to stop Pardon again this time around, and hopefully force more defensive stops than last time.
More stops would be nice, but what really needs to occur is for the Hoosier's offense to start clicking again. Having 0.86 points per possession and 39% FT will not make a win come easy for the Hoosiers. Northwestern is arguably a better defense than Purdue with an adjusted defensive efficiency of 95.3 (#38) vs Purdue's 97.4 (#61). The Hoosiers may be in for another low scoring battle on the road like their match up with the Boilermakers. Archie Miller needs to wake the Hoosiers up and unleash their former selves on the Wildcats to regain traction in the Big Ten before they play Michigan and Michigan State within the next four games.
There is no such thing as a 'free' throw – Indiana has been ABYSMAL from the charity stripe this season. 64.9% from the line, #315 overall. There are only a handful of Power 5 teams below us (including UCLA) and none of them are strong teams. If Archie found out a way to make us more consistent from the line, it would open up many more opportunities for victory for the Hoosiers.
Where are we going? – It seems this team has been spiraling out of control with each game looking more uncoordinated than the prior. We know that the Big Ten is the most grueling conference to play in, but that doesn't mean we should be dropping all these games and to this extent. We should be minimum 4-3 in conference play at this point, but that is the nature of this conference and we need to figure out a way to get ready for the next opponent.
The dueling bigs – Juwan Morgan and Dererk Pardon have been crucial playmakers for each of these teams. Scoring consistently in high numbers and grabbing crucial rebounds. Indiana (surprisingly) is the team that has shown more success in the 3P% category of these teams. If we can control the paint and continue our dominance with 2P%, we should secure a much needed win, but losing the battle down low will put us out of our comfort zone and lead to unnecessary threes from a team that has struggled from deep. Additionally, Northwestern has held opponents to 28.3% from deep, making our ability to use this to come back even more futile.
Slow and steady wins the race? – We wish. Hoosier's offense has been anemic for weeks. Slowly trickling out in spurts and never out the gate (apart from against Maryland and that didn't work either). We play from behind decently and shown in the past we know how to win, but how about we just cruise to a victory without putting 100 Hoosier fans into cardiac arrest while we sit at the edge of our seats from start to finish? Remember even UC Davis we didn't lead at a single point until 6 minutes left in the second half. Same story, different week.
Is it Baseball Season Yet?– No, no its not. It's 10 degrees out and the heart of basketball season. Indiana players, coaches, and fans need to remember that the season is not over yet. A four game loss streak is a big blow to our confidence, but the only thing that is worse than this is continuing this streak. Northwestern is the perfect opponent that is memorable enough that if we win, we can build confidence for the season and for it to not feel underwhelming like some other Big Ten conference opponents. LETS GO.
Race Thompson is likely out once again due to a concussion.
Jerome Hunter has declared his intention to sit out the rest of the year as a redshirt. Leg surgery has prevented him from seeing the floor this season.
For Northwestern, Maxime Boursiquot is out for the season.

Escuela Bella Vista is committed to preparing students with essential 21st century knowledge and skills. As such, EBV has incorporated a standards-based curriculum throughout our school. Standards and benchmarks are the backbone of curriculum in school districts throughout world. In short, standards describe the understandings, knowledge, and skills to be demonstrated by students by the time they graduate from high school. These tend to be few in number and quite broad in scope. Standards are then further described by benchmarks. These are "destinations" by which teachers can measure student progress towards attaining the standard. Benchmarks are the expectations for learning at the end of a defined period spanning several years (ex: 6-8 or 9-12).

Steven Fiore (aka Young Mister) has spent the past few years songwriting for the Universal Music Publishing Group and as a guest vocalist in Jeff Goldblum's jazz band (yes!). He has struck out on his own, recording under the name Young Mister, and releasing his self-titled debut album back in January 2016. This year, he's released two singles… the latest being a lovely Christmas single, "Christmas, Come Early This Year." It's a simple song, from a father to a son, one that in my third listen has me a little shook. It progresses from hanging lights with his young son holding the ladder, to having him all grown up, and clutching to the feeling of those early Christmases. The song is just beautiful, and conveys powerful emotions without resorting to schmaltz.
Bottom Line: Simple and beautiful, Young Mister has written a song that deftly highlights those feelings that parents hold at Christmas.

Who is Hyping Cloud Computing? You Will be Surprised!
I came across a blog "5 things VMware must do to fend off Microsoft." The author Jon Brodkin listed the following musts: cut prices, improve Security, win the desktop war, simplify management, don't overhype the cloud. Here is a response to the article by Steve Kaplan.
Because I am working on cloud related projects, especially I am the creator of the vSphere Java API that manages the "cloud operating system," I am curious to know whether VMware is overhyping the cloud computing.
Instead of expressing my opinions, I decided to do a simple research using Google and Wikipedia. To my surprise, the "cloud computing" page does not include VMware in "Cloud computing logical diagram." The companies listed are Microsoft, Google, Saleforce, Amazon, Yahoo, Rackspace, Zoho. Well, that is good for me to do the next step.
To save you time, I captured the screenshots of each search, and list the most important parts we are interested as follows.
How do these numbers compare to each other? Take a look at the following bar char diagram, and you will have a much better sense.
I know your comparison probably wasn't supposed to be representative or accurate, (so forgive my possibly superfluous rant) but this kind of search is utterly skewed."Microsoft" is mentioned on pretty much every IT related website somewhere. Compare "cloud computing" and "cloud" combined with site:vmware.com and site:microsoft.com and you'll see that VMware and Microsoft aren't that far apart.
Besides, it's VMware whose main page and most non-technical subsites have cloud here, cloud there, cloud everywhere in the typical marketing-hype manner.
The comparison is not an exact index of "hyping," mainly for fun. From the search hits, however, we can have a good sense of how much effort each company has invested in promoting cloud computing.
I agree with you that Microsoft is mentioned in almost all IT related websites. I think these sites didn't associate Microsoft with cloud computing by themselves, but Microsoft itself promoted the cloud messages to these sites.
I think a little hyping is not a bad thing especially in the early stage of a disruptive technology. The general public needs information on cloud computing anyway.

Study Finds Racial Bias in Online Purchasing
Filed in Racism, Research & Studies on December 6, 2013
Research by scholars at the University of Virginia and Arizona State University finds that buyers show racial biases in online purchases. In a yearlong experiment, classified ads for selling iPods were placed on Craigslist in 300 locales throughout the United States. The ads were essentially the same except photographs showed the iPods in hands of either a Black man, a White man, or a White man with a tattoo on his wrist.
The study found that ads that showed a Black man holding the iPod received 13 percent fewer responses and 18 percent fewer offers than ads that showed an iPod in a White man's hand without a tattoo. Offers received through ads that showed a Black man's hand were on average more than 11 percent lower. The results for ads with a White man with a wrist tattoo were very similar to ads showing a Black man's hand.
Jennifer Doleac, an assistant professor of public policy and economics at the University of Virginia, and a co-author of the study, stated, "We were really struck to find as much racial discrimination as we did."
The article, "The Visible Hand: Race and Online Market Outcomes," was published in The Economic Journal of the Royal Economic Society. It may be accessed here.
