Cinderella Survives In College Sports

Spring is upon us, and with tax season officially in the rearview, I can turn my attention to more important things – like sports.
As I did last year after April 15, I have been using my new-found free time to heavily immerse myself in the young baseball season. I must admit, I do so partly in an attempt to forget the fact that my beloved UConn Huskies men's basketball team has just finished its season with a winning percentage under .500 for the third straight year. Yet, try as I might to ignore it, college basketball never stays off my mind for long.
This is truer today than ever before, with the off-season echoing that of a free agency period you would expect from a professional league. This summer, not only will the next wave of high school talent commit to their future colleges (if they haven't already), but a group of players will say goodbye to their current school in favor of a different one, becoming a "free agent" of sorts by transferring. In fact, this year, just one week after Virginia cut down the nets in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, over 700 student-athletes had already opted to change schools. That number only continues to grow. These statistics seem shockingly high to many fans of the game, and over the past few years, journalists, analysts and even coaches have taken notice, calling it an epidemic.
The reality is that most of what has changed with respect to transferring in college basketball is the amount of attention it garners. Transfers have been a big part of the sport for a long time. And, contrary to popular sentiment, data furnished by the NCAA shows that transfers over the past 13 years in the sport are actually relatively flat. In 2004, 26% of players transferred from their respective schools. In 2017, that number was 27.6%. That being said, it is worth noting that college basketball does indeed have the highest percentage of transfers among all major Division I sports. (Baseball was second, at 21.7%, and football was 13.3% in 2017.) But if the number of transfers is basically flat, why do fans perceive that they are more common than they used to be?
There are a few reasons. The first is social media. Platforms like Instagram and Twitter have given fans direct access to both players and insiders. In today's environment, journalists can communicate information to their followers in seconds. Cut out the middle man by following the student-athlete or the school directly, and this becomes practically instantaneous. The University of Kentucky's men's basketball team's Instagram account boasts 339,000 followers. Nico Mannion, a highly ranked high school player in the class of 2019, will enroll at the University of Arizona to play basketball with more than 350,000 followers. Patrick Baldwin Jr, who won't even set foot on a college campus for another two years and change, already has close to 15,000 followers. Then there's Zion Williamson – admittedly a unique case – who had over 1 million followers when he enrolled at Duke University and now, as he prepares for the NBA draft, has over 3 million. Many players post about themselves – listing schools they are considering, for instance. Those who don't often are watched closely by people who will relay that information to fans on players' behalf.
Of course, this wasn't always the case. Back in 2005, when Towson University guard Mike Green transferred to Butler University in Indiana, there was no website-drive speculation and certainly no Twitter discussion (largely because there was no Twitter). Green himself admits there wasn't a buzz at all. Yet he was, by all accounts, a major addition to Butler's basketball team. With his help, the school would go on to reach the Sweet 16 in 2007, and Green was the conference player of the year the following season.
In addition to social media, we can thank the NCAA transfer portal, which launched in October 2018, for the increased attention to transfers. Essentially, the portal is a database of every player who is open to transferring from his current school. Student-athletes simply goes to their school's compliance department and ask to be entered; the school cannot refuse to enter them if they ask. Once players are in the portal, other schools are free to contact them. And while only a school's compliance department and one coach from each team's staff may access to the portal, numerous sites track entries for fans and the media to monitor religiously.
Many observers who perceive that transfers are growing also believe that they crush mid-major conference teams, allowing big-time programs to cherry-pick any talent they overlooked the first time around. A mid-major is a school that plays outside of a "power" conference, a group usually defined as comprising the Big Ten, Southeastern (SEC), Atlantic Coast (ACC), Big 12, American and the Pacific-12. These conferences include schools like Kansas, North Carolina and Michigan State – in other words, the traditional powerhouses of the sport.
Transfers from mid-major teams to power conference teams do happen, but they are actually quite rare in the context of student-athlete transfers as a whole. The idea that players tend to transfer to better teams (often called "up-transferring") is highly overstated. Research shows that since 2012, only 8.6% of all transfers could be categorized as such. Many players – 59% to be exact – actually transferred out of Division I entirely. For some student-athletes, transferring is an opportunity to gain more playing time at less competitive universities, be closer to family or escape an environment unfit for them.
That said, while they are still rare, "up-transfers" are admittedly beginning to make up a bigger proportion of overall transfers. In 2017, Sports Illustrated noted that in 2012, 28 players left current programs for "distinctly higher" ones. That number rose to 91 in 2017. Compared to the overall number of players, this phenomenon is still very small, but growing nonetheless.
The title of the Sports Illustrated article was "A free-agent culture: How transfers are killing Cinderella." While the article contained a lot of good analysis, the headline is a bit misleading. There is no doubt that transfers can decimate individual schools' programs on a year to year basis. The article talks about Robert Morris University and the University of Maine in particular as two examples of schools that had successful years, only to be caught scrambling the following season when their best players bolted for bigger programs. Yet as a whole, college basketball's Cinderella phenomenon is alive and well.
Let's use the NCAA Tournament to illustrate. The 2019 tournament marked the 35th year of the current format: 68 teams. (It was actually 64 until 2011, when the NCAA added a "first four" round, but the tournament whittles back down to 64 after these preliminary games.) I examined the amount of upsets in the tournament from two different time periods: 1985 to 2005 and 2006 to 2019. The time periods represent two different eras of college basketball, with the latter period far more shaped by transfers. I then looked at all the matchups between the No. 16 and No. 1 seeds, through to the No. 11 versus No. 6 seeds – in essence, all the games where the lower seed (that is, the higher number) winning would be considered an upset. From 1985 to 2005, the underdog won 17.3% of the time. From 2006 to 2019, upsets actually increased to 22%. The later period included the first ever 16-seed to win a game, when UMBC (Maryland-Baltimore County) defeated Virginia in 2017. Clearly, talent remains dispersed throughout mid-major and high-major programs, at least relatively speaking.
Transferring is, and always will be, a part of college sports, especially college basketball. This is as it should be. The overwhelming majority of transfers create little impact on the college basketball landscape as a whole. But those that do are now tracked, scrutinized and analyzed more than ever before – especially with the advent of social media. This increased attention has created the illusion that college basketball transfers are on the rise. In reality, schools and coaches have dealt with player transfers for a long, long time. And while up-transfers are increasing, the numbers simply don't support the idea that Cinderella is dying as a result.
Neither of these points are much comfort to the particular programs that inevitably lose valuable players each year. But to say widespread transferring, and especially up-transferring, is a new phenomenon or an epidemic simply isn't true.

The Geneva Point Center is a historic summer camp and conference center in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, on Lake Winnipesaukee, and is the name of the non-profit organization which currently owns it. It was founded in 1919, with the site being purchased by the International Sunday School Association to serve as "an eastern site for its Boys' and Girls' Camps." The center is located on , about  down Moultonborough Neck upon Lake Winnipesaukee, in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. It has many facilities and accommodations of different types, along with waterfront swimming and boating facilities on the lake. It can hold conferences, camp groups, family groups and other events. The complex includes many historic buildings, including the Winnipesaukee Inn.

The camp has employed many international interns over the years; Akoa Mongo Kara was one, and David Sibande, a Presbyterian minister of Malawi, was another.

The name "Geneva Point Center" was adopted in 1966.

It was owned by the International Sunday School Association, which merged with the International Council of Religious Education (ICRE) in 1922. The ICRE became part of the National Council of Churches of Christ of America, which later changed names to the National Council of Churches. The Geneva Point Center, Inc., was formed as a nonprofit organization in about 1986, took ownership of the camp in 1986, and continues to operate the center.

In the 1930s, there were as many as 72 summer camps in the Lakes Region.

The stately Winnipesaukee Inn was once the grand barn of a chicken farm. The barn was converted in 1896.

NFC North: 2016 NFL Draft grades
The Packers surprised some with the selection of UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark at No. 27 overall, but he ranks as one of my favorite (and I thought underrated) defenders in this class, standing out as a true freshman on a defense full of NFL prospects and simply improving each year. He is a plug-and-play replacement for B.J. Raji inside. Ted Thompson showed rare aggression in trading up to nab highly athletic tackle Jason Spriggs and found a silky smooth edge rusher in Kyler Fackrell in the third round, both of whom are future starters with immediate impact potential if called upon. Day three selections Blake Martinez, Kyle Murphy and Dean Lowry do not possess the same caliber of athleticism as Spriggs or Fackrell but also are clean schematic fits.
RELATED Green Bay Packers' draft pick could help LB Clay Matthews move outside
Full disclosure: Laquon Treadwell was my top-rated wideout entering the draft (and all year long) and the insertion into an offense that will feed him the ball surrounded by exciting talent only reinforces my appreciation of his game. Strong, competitive and a better athlete than most give him credit for (perhaps due to his 4.65 time in the 40-yard dash), Treadwell will prove a star at split end in Norv Turner's offense. Mackensie Alexander needs some polish, but who better to do it than Mike Zimmer? Alexander will prove a steal at No. 54 overall. Fourth-round pick Willie Beavers played left tackle at Western Michigan but projects best inside and, while athletic and possessing legitimate size for this role at 6-5, 321, is understandably a bit of a project. Gambling on athletic upside was a theme for Minnesota throughout day three with gambles on former German league standout Moritz Boehringer, Vanderbilt edge rusher Stephen Weatherly and Clemson safety Jayron Kearse, the nephew of "The Freak," Jevon Kearse.
RELATED Chicago Bears add experienced backup QB with signing of Brian Hoyer
No team did more with less during the first two days of the draft than the Bears, who aggressively moved up to acquire the most explosive edge rusher in the draft in Leonard Floyd, nabbed one of the toughest and most versatile offensive lineman in the country in four-year starter Cody Whitehair in the second and scooped up run-stuffing base end Jonathan Bullard -- who will prove a steal -- in the third. Safeties Deon Bush and Deiondre' Hall will compete for early playing time for a squad that has struggled to fill the position for years, but it might be a former safety turned linebacker Nick Kwiatkowski who proves the better player. Powerful runner Jordan Howard could prove a steal in the fifth round if he can stay healthy. Daniel Braverman is one of the better slot receiver prospects in the draft and could prove an immediate favorite target underneath for Jay Cutler.
RELATED Draft: Minnesota Vikings draft German WR in sixth round
Given the auto industry of Motor City, there is something appropriate about Detroit focusing on the framework of the team in the first two drafts, nabbing blue collar linemen Taylor Decker (offensive tackle), A'Shawn Robinson (defensive tackle), Graham Glasgow (guard/center) and Joe Dahl (guard). All are quality players with the consistency and reliability of a Ford F-150, but none possess the sizzle or gleam of a team lacking hot rods with the retirement of the great Calvin Johnson. Safety Miles Killebrew has the speed and explosiveness, on the other hand, to wow but lacks ideal fluidity, projecting better as a special teams assassin than in coverage against quick NFL receivers. Some, in fact, view the 6-2, 217-pound Killebrew as a potential linebacker conversion. Relatively local product Jake Rudock (Michigan) will get the attention, but he lacks the top arm strength. Running back Dwayne Washington, on the other hand, is a long-striding runner with the acceleration to generate big gains behind Detroit's reinforced offensive line.

The city of Algeciras is located in the extreme south of Spain, and is the main link between Europe and Africa. Unlike most other coastal towns in Andalusia, which depend heavily on tourism and fishing, Algeciras is predominantly a port, industry and services city.
It is the most frequently used port in Spain with 5.3 million people passing through each year, and the fifth largest in Europe in terms of goods and container traffic. But the city faces a number of challenges in its capacity to handle these millions of people and provide the necessary public services. So Algeciras City Council has launched its Algeciras Smart City Master Plan, to promote innovation and the use of new technologies to develop a new economic model that improves the smart management of the city.
It has also been chosen by the Andalusian Federation of Town and Provincial Councils (FAMP) as the model for the Digital City of Andalusia because of its geographical, economic and strategic conditions, which facilitate the cooperation of both the public and private sectors, as well as social collaboration.

Review: SF Opera presents Engelbert Humperdinck's 'Hansel & Gretel' Performed in English (****1/2)

Reviewed by a voting member of the San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle.
Engelbert Humperdinck's 'Hansel & Gretel' is the perfect operatic example of a one hit wonder. Humperdinck is known for nothing else.
So what? 'Hansel & Gretel' is a marvel, an opera so popular that it has been in performance, without interruption, and no lag in reputation, for more than a century. The first performance of Humperdinck's masterpiece (with a libretto written by the composer's sister) was conducted by no less a luminary than a young Richard Strauss who called it a "masterpiece of the first class."
Who am I to doubt the word of Richard Strauss? I, like so many, first heard the opera as a child, and its beautiful melodies have stayed with me through the decades. It is wonderful, lilting, exciting, and original. It has been called (by Richard Straus scholar Paul Thomason) the "perfect blend of innocence and sophistication." That it is.
The current production is full of wondrous things, from the magical staging with settings that seem to appear and vanish by magic, to frightening sequences, to the glorious fairy tale ballet which incorporates multiple stories from the Brothers' Grimm and makes little eyes bulge with astonished delight.
Great care has been taken here with the settings and costumes. This may be a children's opera, but no detail has been treated with anything less than loving attention. The witch's house, which appears to be a cake with a terribly frightening knife cut into it, is everything a child might imagine. The transformation of the witch from appealing old lady to horrifying butcher is amazing but surrounded by enough good music and happy moments to keep from pushing the little ones too far.
Most memorable in this lovely production is an astonishing performance by mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke as Hansel. Long favored by (and favoring) the SF Opera, Cooke's Hansel is sung with amazing vigor and precision, and her acting brings a great depth of emotion to the character that children and adults will easily appreciate. The relationship between the two children (with an excellent Heidi Stober as Gretel) is a highlight of this production.
The very distinguished Wagnerian tenor, Robert Brubaker, a regular at the Metropolitan Opera and other leading companies, brings all of his considerable acting and singing chops to the role of the Witch. In many productions, the witch is played for laughs, but not here. Brubaker is genuinely terrifying and thank goodness he gets his comeuppance as thoroughly as possible, so children will know, without question, that evil has been vanquished.
For the performance I attended, Adler fellow Mary Evelyn Hangley stepped into the role of Mother for an ailing Michaela Martens. It was Hangley's SF Opera debut, and she acquitted herself beautifully.
'Hansel and Gretel' is ideal for a child's introduction to opera. The many who packed the house for the matinee I attended were never bored but appeared to be excited and engaged through every moment.
But if you don't have children to bring, don't let that stop you. Humperdinck's "one hit wonder" is one for the ages.
"Hansel & Gretel" continues at the War Memorial Opera House through December 7. For further information, click here.

The migrant crisis in Calais and Kent is the EU's fault
By Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan

The migrant crisis in Calais and Kent is the EU's fault
As long as people hope to make it across the Channel, the horrors in the Mediterranean will continue
The single most helpful thing is to stop holding out the prospect of entering Britain
The free movement of people, we keep being told, is a fundamental principle of the EU. Its definition has been stretched to cover benefits claims, subsidised university places and voting entitlements. But it plainly doesn't cover the actual free movement of people – at least, not of British people wishing to move freely through Calais.
The migration crisis has been bubbling away for years around the mouth of the Channel Tunnel. Now, though, it is spreading chaos through Kent. It's not just holidaymakers who are affected. All those who need to use the M20 are suffering. Small businesses across my constituency, especially those which import supplies from the Continent, are losing money. None expects compensation.
Strikes by French transport workers are as much a British summer variable as rain. The present crisis, though, is of a different scale. Hundreds of thousands of people in Africa and the Levant aim to enter Britain through Europe.
It's worth pausing to ask why they are so desperate to come here rather than Italy or France. After all, a refugee is someone who is trying to get out of a particular country, not into a particular country. For years, anti-cuts campaigners have been telling us what a mean and miserable welfare system we have. Why this determination to leave socialist France for "austerity Britain"?
The explanations are clear enough. Migrants prefer to go to places where they know someone – and, as a result of the massive influx of people under the last Labour government, people from every part of the world have compatriots here. We have a growing economy and plenty of jobs. We have no identity cards, deport few illicit entrants and speak English.

The young men washing up on the shores of Spain and Italy have little intention of staying in those countries, afflicted as they are by the euro crisis. Shakespeare has words for this, as for every, situation: "And then to Calais; and to England then: where ne'er from France arrived more happy men".
If the migrants are happy, the people of Calais are not. They complain of rising crime and disruption and, in an unfocused but intense way, they blame the British. Their mayor recently suggested that the whole crisis had somehow been got up by David Cameron.
Seriously? A sans-papier enters France unimpeded, travels from the Italian border to Calais without once being detained, and is allowed to roam about near that city without arrest. How is this Britain's fault?
In truth, the fault here lies with the EU's rules on immigration, which have not only created a border-free-zone across the Continent, but which make it impossible to return sea-borne migrants to their ports of origin. Under the current rules, if you are picked up by an Italian vessel a hundred yards outside Libyan territorial waters, you must be landed in Italy. Understandably, hundreds of thousands of people are tempted into such journeys, sometimes with tragic consequences.
Australia faced a similar challenge of sea-borne migration, and solved it by processing all refugee claims offshore. Since that change of policy, there has not been a single death by drowning.

John Ashmore - Keir Starmer is wrong, the free market model hasn't failed
Jethro Elsden - What the inequality data don't tell you
James Bloodworth - A class apart: Labour is in denial about its core vote
At this stage, all sorts of people like to signal their virtue by saying that offshore processing would be far too harsh and that we're dealing with human beings (as if anyone disputed it). But consider the logic of what they're saying. Once we start allowing the Mediterranean migrants to remain in Europe, we contract out our immigration policy to people smugglers. Instead of giving places to those who have applied properly, or to those judged to be genuine refugees, we allow gangsters in Tripoli to determine who gets to jump the queue – assuming they survive the journey.
No one denies that there are individual tragedies. Next month, I'll be working with a team of Centre-Right MPs from around Europe in some of the camps in Sicily where the boat people are housed on their arrival. If you'd like to help, there are plenty of charities operating there and, indeed, in the countries of origin. There are things we can do, both to ease the plight of those who have already made the crossing and to stabilise some of the places from which they are fleeing. But the single most helpful thing is to stop holding out the prospect of entering Britain. As long as people hope to make it across the English Channel, the horrors in the Mediterranean will continue.

Q: Is there a way in ScrollMagic to make the setPin duration be equal to time instead of scroll distance? I have a tween that is triggered by scrolling to a specific section that pins, and then the animation plays. Right now it plays through on trigger, not tied to scroll, but the pin itself is set to scroll. So it plays the animation and you have to scroll like 500 pixels to unpin the section. Ideally, the pin would last for the duration of the tween, like 500ms instead of having to scroll pixels to unpin. Is this possible?
Here is the code for how it is set up currently:

// // build scenes
    this.controller = new ScrollMagic.Controller();

    let tl = new TimelineMax();
    tl.fromTo(
      ".gradient_lord",
      0.5,
      { css: { transform: "translateY(100%)" } },
      { css: { transform: "translateY(0%)" } },
      "+=.7"
    );
    tl.fromTo(
      "header.header_headline",
      1,
      { css: { opacity: "0" } },
      { css: { opacity: "1" } },
      "-=.03"
    );

    new ScrollMagic.Scene({
      triggerElement: "#TextContent",
      duration: "25%",
      triggerHook: 0,
    })
      // .addIndicators({
      //   colorTrigger: "red",
      //   colorStart: "red",
      //   colorEnd: "red",
      //   indent: 5,
      // })
      .setPin("#TextContent")
      // .setClassToggle("#GradDad", "hello")
      // .on("enter", this.sceneEnter)
      .setTween(tl)
      // .on("progress", function (event) {
      //   console.log("Scene progress changed to " + event.progress);
      // })
      .addTo(this.controller);

    new ScrollMagic.Scene({
      triggerElement: "#TextContent",
      // duration: 800,
      triggerHook: 0,
    })
      // .addIndicators({
      //   colorTrigger: "red",
      //   colorStart: "red",
      //   colorEnd: "red",
      //   indent: 5,
      // })
      .setTween(tl)
      // .on("progress", function (event) {
      //   console.log("Scene progress changed to " + event.progress);
      // })
      .addTo(this.controller);

'The Big Bang Theory' Prop Master and Set Decorator Look Back on the Show's 12 Seasons
Variety — Zoe Hewitt
Just like the lead actors on CBS comedy "The Big Bang Theory," many of the show's crew members have been part of the hit series from its beginning, 12 seasons ago — including prop master Scott London and set decorator Ann Shea.
In anticipation of the program's upcoming finale on May 16, London and Shea shared some behind-the-scenes secrets from Stage 25 on the Warner Bros. lot, where "Big Bang" is shot.
For instance, over the years, the characters have eaten a lot of food on camera. London, who nearly became a chef, makes everything the actors eat. "Johnny [Galecki, who plays Leonard] used to eat homemade ramen that I prepared with vegetable bouillon and Sriracha," London says of the food that was always in Galecki's Chinese takeout cartons. "Early on, I didn't have my Sriracha-soy sauce ratio down yet. When Johnny took a big drink of it, he started coughing on set during the scene."
One of London's biggest prop challenges came during a storyline that sent Howard (Simon Helberg) into space with an exploding toilet. "We designed the toilet based on a [space shuttle] model at the Smithsonian," recalls London. "Special effects built it with air canisters to shoot meatloaf into the air at the right time. My assistant and I came in on the weekend to paint each individual piece [of the toilet] before putting it back together again."
An ongoing puzzle for fans has been what Helberg used to repair the toilet. The item was never named in the script, and viewers could only see a small, white object on-screen. While London initially calls the object a behind-the-scenes mystery, he eventually relents, revealing it to be a pizza saver — one of those three-legged plastic supports that goes in the center of a takeout pie.
Another London reveal: Leonard and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) don't have lenses in the frames of their glasses. Typically, prop lenses have layers of anti-
reflective coating on them because of all the lights onstage. However, the height disparity between Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and his co-stars led to ongoing challenges with reflections, so the DP requested that the lenses be removed. It was something the actors had to get used to. "During one of the early seasons, all of a sudden Johnny reached in through the glasses and rubbed his eyes," says London. "I [said to] the producer, 'Did you see that? He just scratched his eye through the lens!' They wound up reshooting the scene."
While London works closely with the actors, Shea's job takes place before they even arrive at work, since she and her team decorate the sets. Eagle-eyed fans can spot touches of her personality. A proponent of environmentally friendly products and practices, she incorporates them into the show whenever it fits; recycling bins have appeared regularly over the years.
Viewers also would be impressed to see just how clean everything is on set, with bedding freshly laundered and silverware and dishes sparkling. Things are kept sanitary, even if they're not scripted for a particular episode, just in case someone wants to use them at a moment's notice. This also extends to the kitchens. Appliances are all real, and every drawer, cabinet and shelf is filled. "Everything's there that you need," explains Shea, a multiple Emmy nominee. "The actors have the freedom to spontaneously go into any drawer and look to get something."
London and Shea clearly enjoyed their time with "Big Bang." "The show made my job seem like it wasn't even work," Shea says.

The Times of Harvey Milk
While it took decades for Hollywood to make a movie about Harvey Milk (the wonderful Sean Penn film deserves its Academy Award nominations, and if Sean Penn doesn't win Best Actor, I'll eat my hat), The Times of Harvey Milk came out in 1984--six years after the murder of Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Mascone.
It is a documentary that demands to be seen, especially alongside Sean Penn's film. In fact, you can watch The Times of Harvey Milk for free on your computer via Hulu right now.
The documentary gave me chills with its immediacy. On tape, there is Dan White's confession of the two murders--a confession that made his jury cry and got him off with manslaughter charges. There is the sheeted bodies of Milk and Mascone. The footage of a deliriously happy Milk, among his neighborhood the night of his election and the Prop. 6 defeat, the hush of the people standing outside City Hall the day of the murders, and Milk's real-life friends telling their stories.
See Sean Penn's Milk for its intimate narrative of Milk, its depiction of brilliant creative nonviolence strategy, and wonderfully creative filmmaking. See The Times of Harvey Milk for a hands-on experience, a connection to the real people of the Milk story. See it also for the curiosity of its timing--the documentary was released just after White left prison (earlier than originally sentenced) ... but he hadn't yet committed suicide.
See both films for a powerful portrayal of the vibrancy, vision and courage of Harvey Milk's life. There is great humor and great hope, and it's so wonderful to be reminded that it's never over.

Yes, it's true! Sometime in the days ahead, Decateur Thoms, the FSRI's resident consultant and internet personality, will post his exclusive interview with Martin Fossum, co-author of the famous Faking Smart! book.
No spoilers here, but word has it that this is an interview you don't want to miss! Decateur's merciless wit and razor sharp intellect sheds heretofore unshed light upon the mysterious process that culminated in the book many are describing as one of the most dangerous and subversive business texts of its time.
"This is something you don't want to miss," said Mr. Thoms when reached by phone earlier today. "Sure, Karl W. Ager got all the attention when the book came out, but Fossum is the one you want to go to to find out what really went down. Don't worry... you'll see what I'm talking about."
We all know what it's like to fly these days. First there's all the fuss to get to the airport; then you have to wind your way through security lines, remove your shoes, flying cape and ascot before being subjected to a quick round of body cavity x-rays. Only then are you permitted to dress yourself, locate your gate and take a minute to relax before your flight is called for boarding.
Then it hits you: "How am I going to impress the person sitting next to me on the flight?"
Don't worry! Fortunately for you, you will have read this post and you'll know exactly how to handle this precarious situation. At home, before you leave for your flight, be sure to take with you one thing.
Now, when wedged between a 350 pound Hummer salesman and an eighty-year-old grandmother, you won't come off as any common plane-flying dolt! When settled in your seat pull out your copy of this Hungarian/English, English/Hungarian dictionary and take a good look at its sprawling text! When the Hummer salesman asks about what kind of snacks are on the flight, roll your eyes and shrug with pained disdain. When the grandmother asks if you're Hungarian, slam the book shut and drop your head as if your were praying for deliverance. If prodded, mention that you're on your way to Hungary to speak with a Nobel winning nuclear physicist about radioactive isotopes and the half lives of cesium 134. Then rub your eyes as if to silence the unforgiving background static and return to your book.
Ta-da! You've done it. Never again will you have to wonder about what to do on a flight!
On Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 2 a.m., you were instructed to set your clocks back one hour in recognition of the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. This information was wrong. What you should have done was set your clocks FORWARD one hour, not backward.

In other words, if you read this post at 7:00 a.m., the actual time you are reading this post is 9:00 a.m., and you should adjust your clocks accordingly. If, however, you find yourself reading this post at 9:00 a.m., then you're really reading it at 7:00 a.m. and need not worry.

Bowling Green, KY - The FSRI (Faking Smart! Research Institute) announced early this morning, from its branch media locus in Bowling Green, Kentucky, that due to an escalation in violence and lack of regional stability it is withdrawing all but essential staff from its Tripoli offices.
"This decision was based on serious consideration of the safety and well-being of our staff," said Ella Foster, FSRI VP of Media Relations. "What we don't want is to see one of our HR people drawn inadvertently into a civil war," she said. "That's plain and simple bad for business..."
When asked if the FSRI has enjoyed the favoritism of the Libyan strongman, Muammar Qaddafi, over the past several years, Ms. Foster was quick to respond: "The FSRI has always had a policy of remaining neutral when it came to Qaddafi. That Qaddafi has been an advocate of the FSRI and a gracious host to many banquets and polo events in our honor has never influenced our working relationship with either Qaddafi or his regime. Nor has his vast reserves of sweet crude had anything to do with our close ties. That Qaddafi has demonstrated psychotic fugues and exercised the wonton slaughter of thousands of his countrymen has also had no bearing on our judgement of the Libyan leader's business etiquette or corporate style."
When asked if the FSRI plans to return to Libya after the unrest has abated, Ms. Foster added this: "When Libya wants the FSRI back, we will be there. When the people of Libya have spoken, they will have said something with intent, and that's what we've come to appreciate about Libyans. They know what they're saying and when they're saying it."

This week's giveaway is one of my books, Isaac Blesses Jacob and Esau. This book is written for 5-9 year olds. It's also good to read aloud to younger children, but I'm sure babies would make confetti of it pretty quickly. It's not drool-proof.
Based on selected passages from Genesis 25, 27, 32, and 33, this rhyming Bible story book retells the story of when Jacob and Esau sought the blessing of their ailing father, Isaac. The blind father was tricked into giving the traditional family blessing to his younger son instead of the elder. This caused rage and a great family divide. In the end, though, the two brothers did come back together, and God was able to bless them each in unique ways.
This was the first rhyming Bible story I wrote and was on a bit of a tight deadline for a newbie. I was really grateful for the help my critique group and former college professor gave me. They helped me with the rhyme and rhythm (which still isn't perfect) and the ending. I enjoyed working on it, and I think my poetry has improved greatly after this project!
Religion/Christianity: Make a personal connection. When a teacher shares her faith, it is a great example for students. Be sure to occasionally tell students when you sinned like the Bible person, and how God forgave you (as an example.) If you do it too often, it might seem self-centered. But, don't neglect to share something about yourself. In this story, you may relate your story to any of the Bible people.
Make stew! It sounds like Jacob way quite a cook. He makes a meal for his father which includes something like stew or soup. Esau goes hunting for food. Maybe you could make something with venison.
Writing/Drama: Explain how script writing is different than regular writing. Have students "translate" the book into a script. It could be for TV, live performance, puppets. etc. Then, let them act it out. You could use much of the book, but they may want or need to add some things to make it flow better for acting.
Handwriting: Have the students choose a page or a sentence and copy it onto a clean piece of paper in their best handwriting. Each student could do a different page and illustrate it. Then, you could post them on a wall, to be read as a complete book.
If you would like a copy of Isaac Blesses Jacob and Esau, please sign up for my monthly newsletter (which I haven't started quite yet.) To do that, please go to my website http://faith-filled.com/ and sign up for the newsletter in the lower left-hand corner. It says, "To receive a monthly newsletter."

MU's 1946 Housing Crisis
When enrollment jumped three-fold, barracks were brought in
Written by Randy Mertens · September 24, 2012

Note the wooden sidewalks, a wooden container hiding a trashcan (left) and clothes hung out to dry on clotheslines. Some of the trailers had wooden lean-tos for more storage space. Photos courtesy University Archives.
The fall semester of 2012 is the largest in University of Missouri history with an increase of more than 900 students. As difficult as it is to accommodate so many new freshmen, the problem is tame compared to October 1946 when 10,585 students poured onto the MU campus – a jump from just 2,800 enrolled students in September 1945.
Construction of temporary barracks at MU started in February 1946. This photo shows the pouring of … Expand ▸Construction of temporary barracks at MU started in February 1946. This photo shows the pouring of the concrete footings for one such structure where the University Avenue Garage now sits. Waters and Mumford Halls are in the background.
In just one year, the freshman class of just one college equaled the University's largest prewar student body. More than 70 percent of the new faces were World War II veterans coming to school on the G.I. Bill of Rights enacted in 1944. MU was not alone. The problem affected all of U.S. higher education and was called the Housing Crisis.
To meet this influx of students, Mizzou got anything that could immediately serve as a dormitory or classroom – surplus barracks, pre-fab houses, Quonset huts and government-owned trailers.
Temporary Dormitory One (TD-1) was spruced up a little from its original Army barracks configuration … Expand ▸Temporary Dormitory One (TD-1) was spruced up a little from its original Army barracks configuration with some white trim paint. Coal-fired potbelly stoves probably produced heat for winter as no 55-gallon barrels for fuel oil are visible.
In phase one of project, begun in January 1946 with a budget of $3.5 million, MU's contractors disassembled 66 war surplus wooden barracks from military bases, like Fort Leonard Wood, and reconstructed them on vacant land such as where CAFNR's Agriculture Building now sits.
Other barracks came from as far away as Sturgeon Bay, Wis., where they housed wartime shipyard workers. The Army's Cornhuster Ordnance Plant in Grand Island donated a pair of three-story H-shaped barracks. These two, named TD-3 and TD-4, would be the most long-lived of MU's "temporary" buildings. Eventually, 300 trailers, 68 temporary dormitories and numerous Quonset huts were built.
The barracks were erected immediately after unloading – no time was lost stacking them on the ground. The students would call their instant sub-divisions G.I. City, Fort MU and Pneumonia Gulch.
Because new faculty were needed to teach the swarm of students, temporary faculty housing sprouted on the College of Agriculture's experimental fields where the Sears Plant Growth Facility is now located. The 90 units were pre-assembled houses that had two bedrooms, a living room, a bath and a full basement.
Dairylawn was located east of where the Sears Plant Growth facility now sits and housed College of … Expand ▸Dairylawn was located east of where the Sears Plant Growth facility now sits and housed College of Agriculture students. Before World War II, the land was used as an experimental farm for the College. In this aerial view, at least three kinds of trailers can be seen. One is a streamlined travel trailer designed to be pulled behind a car. Another trailer is a rectangular pre-fab building designed for use at construction sites. A third type of trailer, easily the smallest, looks to be a single room. Families and single students were both housed at Dairylawn. A community shower and meeting hall (center left) were incorporated in the plan.
One of two trailer towns was earmarked for College of Agriculture students and was nicknamed Dairylawn. It was comprised of 93 government-owned and 35 privately-owned trailers on what is College Blvd. today. Dairylawn was built on experimental fields, too. That land never returned to crops.
Life in the barracks nicknamed Pneumonia Gulch was pretty basic. Each student got a cot, wooden … Expand ▸Life in the barracks nicknamed Pneumonia Gulch was pretty basic. Each student got a cot, wooden chair, a window for ventilation, wooden desk and steam radiator heat (under desk). This student's room had an AM-FM radio – a high tech gadget in 1947. This student was a Cardinals fan and pipe smoker, given the Vanguard Mixture tobacco can on the radio set.
Calculus by Candlelight
The fast buildup brought all kinds of challenges. To accommodate enough "drop" for a gravity sewage system, MU engineers had to blast through bedrock. According to the January 1947 issue of Missouri Alumnus magazine, two dynamite experts were brought in to ensure no flying rocks landed on the nearby trailers.
Almost all of campus was impacted by the housing effort. Quonset huts and trailers were set up by MU's Noyes Hospital and Jesse Hall, southwest of Stankowski Field and as far south as the football stadium.
It wasn't just housing that was needed. An additional 66,000-sq.-ft. of classroom space had to be built, also. For a while, students lived in barracks and studied in barracks.
War surplus barracks were easy to get, but everything else was hard. A shortage of electrical transformers meant students studied by candlelight for a while.
Veterans Turn Up the Heat in Jesse Hall
Life at Observatory Hill was rustic. This pre-fab housing was designed to a minimum standard – a … Expand ▸Life at Observatory Hill was rustic. This pre-fab housing was designed to a minimum standard – a gravel road, oil heating (note the 55-gallon barrels for fuel) and an outhouse (left). The outhouse was thoughtfully connected to electricity. The wooden walls and tarpaper roofs made these buildings firetraps – note the community fire alarm just behind the 1939 Ford coupe. These shacks were the first to be torn down when better accommodations became available.
Kitchen sinks were a commodity in short supply, too, as were coal and oil stoves. A January 1947 United Press dispatch with a Columbia dateline told of a tense meeting between 100 cold veterans and Leslie Cowan, MU's vice president. Cowan assured the group that 57 surplus oil stoves were being shipped immediately from Fort Wood. The former G.I.s had marched into Jesse Hall "because it was warm there" and refused to leave until the chill in their dorms had been dealt with. The veterans brought an effigy of A.C. Stotler, MU's housing director, and threatened to hang it in protest. An MU press release of the day called the meeting amicable.
An emergency cafeteria was set up in Crowder Hall, then the University garage, that could feed 2,000 students at one meal. Often, the chow line was more than a block long.
A trailer park, Fairway Village, was built on the ground now occupied by the Laws Residence Hall … Expand ▸A trailer park, Fairway Village, was built on the ground now occupied by the Laws Residence Hall (note Crowder Hall, then used as the University garage, at top of photo). Some the trailers still have their wheels showing while others near the top of this photo have been adorned with aluminum skirts. A few pre-fab houses can be seen just to the right to the community shower in the left-center of this photo. Not many cars are visible in any of these photos – students couldn't afford them.
Crowder doubled as an evening study hall for 2,016 students, according to a 1950 Missouri Alumnus magazine story. As most of the trailers didn't have running water, Crowder and other campus buildings served as bathrooms until a shower house could be built in Fairway Village trailer court where the Laws Residence Hall now stands.
Not only did the facilities change, so did the culture. Combat veterans who had fought the Japanese at Iwo Jima were not about to let preppy upperclassmen force them to wear beanie hats or be paddled in a hazing ceremony. Curfew rules and restrictions against hot plates and fraternization were simply ignored. Many of the veterans had brought wives and kids with them to live on campus. An old Mizzou tradition died when the vets insisted that married women be considered for Campus Queen. Mrs. Madill Gartiser was named the queen of the 1948 Savitar. To save a few bucks, veterans continued to wear their boots and khaki uniforms, sans insignia.
Among the more luxurious temporary housing were the houses of University Court – built where the MU Student Recreation Center now sits.
The ex-G.I.s hated the military-like cafeteria food at Crowder, so the single guys hung out at hotspots like Gaebler's Café on Conley Street. The Shack, with its 11 cent glass of beer, was another popular dive. To accommodate the crush of customers, The Shack modified its food service to be as quick and easy as possible. One fast food item was a hunk of Braunschweiger on a slice of whole wheat bread served on a piece of waxed paper that doubled as a napkin.
The Crisis Fades
As proper dorms and off-campus housing were built, bulldozers began to erase the ersatz Army life at MU. The last trailer was towed from Dairylawn in 1952.
The contract with the government stipulated that the temporary buildings had to be torn down as the housing crisis eased. Temporary is a relative word at MU, and many buildings were used for 36 years. In the cases of the barracks on A through K streets, the structures were knocked down only to make room to build the new School of Medicine and School of Nursing.
Temporary Dormitory 4 (TD-4) was the last temporary building on campus to be torn down.
The last two wartime structures on campus, Nebraska's TD-4 and TD-5, came down in 1983 to make way for an expansion of the University Hospital and Clinics.
The legacy of the Housing Crisis is not entirely gone. Old Quonset huts can still be found off campus on College Blvd. and Worley Street.

The Race Card Has Gone Bust
The Wall Street Journal July 17, 2019
RaceOther
America has never been fairer or more integrated, yet politicians obsess over wiping out discrimination.
In William Julius Wilson's 1978 book, "The Declining Significance of Race," the sociologist argued that racial discrimination was no longer the biggest barrier to black economic advancement. His fellow liberals were outraged. Forty-one years later, Mr. Wilson is still right and the political left is still in denial.
Accusations of white racism are all the rage in Washington these days. If you oppose school busing, you're a racist. If you want immigration laws enforced, you're a racist. If you're against slavery reparations or support adding a citizenship question to the census or criticize minority members of Congress, you're a racist.
One problem is that Donald Trump has adopted the kind of identity politics we usually associate with Democrats. Another is that Democratic presidential contestants in search of black votes have taken racial pandering to new lows. Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., spoke for many of the candidates when he told National Public Radio last week that "white America" needs to come to grips with what he says explains today's racial inequities. Namely, the "systemic racism all around us. It's the air we breathe."
Mr. Wilson's observations about discrimination and black progress four decades ago weren't novel—conservative scholars like Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell already had been making similar points—but they were striking coming from a liberal academic. Mr. Wilson did not deny the roles that slavery and Jim Crow played in perpetuating disparities. Nevertheless, he wrote, "they do not provide a meaningful explanation of the life chances of black Americans today." Mayor Pete has been wrong for longer than he's been alive.
No reasonable person denies that racists still live among us or that racial discrimination can retard upward mobility. Still, evidence of racial bias in the past or the present is not proof that racism is responsible for current social disparities. After all, the pathologies we see in low-income black communities aren't confined to those communities. As Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam wrote in 2017, "The white working-class family is today more fragile than the black family was at the time of the famous alarm-sounding 1965 'Report on the Negro Family' by Daniel Patrick Moynihan. "
Liberals who insist that racial discrimination largely explains the black-white wealth gap are ignoring other plausible explanations. Black poverty and employment today, for example, seem to be more a function of family formation than of white racism. For more than 20 years, black married couples have had poverty rates in the single digits, and black married men have had a higher labor-force participation rate than white men who never married. According to The Wall Street Journal, last year the labor-force participation gap between blacks and whites virtually vanished, the first time that's happened since 1972. Systemic racism may be "in the air we breathe," but black unemployment rates are at generational lows.
"Family instability and fatherlessness collide with racial and economic disadvantage to create a negative feedback loop in black communities, hampering children's potential and perpetuating racial inequality," writes Kay Hymowitz in a recent City Journal essay. Citing new research by John Iceland, a demographer at Penn State University, she notes that "differences in family structure are the most significant variable in explaining the black-white affluence gap. In fact, its importance has grown over time relative to other explanations, including discrimination. Unable to pool earnings with a spouse, to take advantage of economies of scale, and to share child care, black single parents have a tougher time than their married counterparts building a nest egg."
Government programs are no substitute for the development of human capital. If wealth-redistribution schemes lifted people out of poverty, we would have closed these gaps a long time ago. Liberal politicians and activists have little interest in addressing the ways in which black behavioral choices impact inequality. It's easier to turn out voters and raise money by equating racial imbalances with racial bias and smearing political opponents who disagree.
Will it work in the end? It didn't for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Telling people what you think they want to hear can be easier than telling the truth, but you also risk insulting them. And blaming bad outcomes among blacks on the malevolence of others is not only wrong but insulting to Americans of every race. This isn't 1950. Attitudes have changed. Behaviors have changed. American neighborhoods and schools and marriages are more integrated. We elected a black president twice, and he won several of the nation's whitest states both times. Racism has probably never been less significant in America, and blacks have never had more opportunities to seize. Liberals are pushing a narrative that many white voters don't recognize and that many black voters know is false.

Ques:Cross cultural negotiation; Type of negotiation; Negotiation Strategies used by most people in that jurisdiction (in this case in Botswana). What is the offensive way of dealing with people during negotiation in Botswana and what is not . Goldberg, Sander, and Rogers in Dispute Resolution: Negotiation, Mediation, and Other Processes (1992) define negotiation as "communication for the purpose of persuasion. " Negotiation is a process in which parties to a dispute discuss possible outcomes directly with each other.
Parties exchange proposals and demands, make arguments, and continue the discussion until a solution is reached, or an impasse declared. In negotiations there are three approaches to resolving the dispute, each with a different orientation and focus – interest-based, rights-based, and power-based – and they can result in different outcomes (Ury et al. , 1993). INTEREST-BASED NEGOTIATION This approach shifts the focus of the discussion from positions to interests.
Because there are many interests underlying any position, a discussion based on interests opens up a range of possibilities and creative options, whereas positions very often cannot be reconciled and may therefore lead to a dead end. The dialogue on interest should be transparent, in order for the parties to arrive at an agreement that will satisfy the needs and interests of the parties. While interest-based negotiations have the potential of leading to the best outcomes, the parties may not adopt it, and therefore we often find that negotiations are "rights-based" or "power-based. " RIGHTS-BASED NEGOTIATION
When negotiations between parties fail, the parties may then attempt to resort to what they consider to be their rights. This means appealing to the court (local, national, or international) and will result in a legal process in which the law is the dominant feature. POWER-BASED NEGOTIATION Resorting to threat or even violence as a way of communication for the purpose of persuasion is called power-based negotiation (for example, the posture of the Americans in the Cuban missile crisis). Rights-based and power-based approaches are used at times when parties cannot or are not willing to resolve their issues through interest-based negotiation.
The definition of the negotiation process and how the process occurs differ across cultures. Cultural issues play a major part in negotiation, and have a significant impact on it. A strong personal relationship and trust between the negotiators can be a positive force in future agreements. Issues such as personal relations, time, sovereignty, face-saving, mode of bargaining, and hierarchy, which are culturally biased, need to be considered during negotiations between different nations, societies, and ethnic groups.
Today it is realized that conflicts and the issues involved are very complex, the outcomes are far reaching, and can often affect other nations, a region, or the world. Negotiation process is more complex, because of the various interdependencies between countries, cultural issues, and past history, and the fact that individual people or a group of people negotiate on behalf of a collective. Their culture, psychology, emotional state, behavior, ethics, values, and private agendas may affect the outcome of the negotiation.
Botswana is a land-locked country located south of the Equator on the Southern African Continent. It is uniquely positioned in South Africa and is bordered by Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia and Zambia. Botswana is noted as being the third largest producer of diamonds worldwide. The country has 2 million inhabitants and covers an area of 600,370 km?. Before it became colonised the country was divided into several small kingdoms led by members of the Tswana tribe. The kingdoms were being threatened by outside powers and therefore agreed to a protectorate with the British.
Botswana gained independence from Britain in 1966. The capital is called Gaborone. The literacy rate in Botswana has been estimated at 82%. The population of Botswana is divided into the main ethnic groups of Tswana people (79%), Kalanga people (11%), and Basarwa (or Bushmen) (3%). The remaining 7% consist of other peoples, including some speaking the Kgalagadi language, and 1% of non-African people. The above information shows the heterogeneous nature of ethnicity in Botswana. This has sometimes resulted in heightened ethnic tensions in some areas of the Country.

Three boys from Foothill, two from Shasta and one from Redding Christian made the cut for the all-Northern Section basketball teams.
On Wednesday, Foothill senior Thurman Knowles will fly to Colorado for his first official recruiting visit. When he lands, he'll have something new to brag about.
Knowles is one of two Redding-area boys basketball players to make First Team All-Northern Section for the 2017-18 season. One of the most prestigious honors a Northern Section athlete can earn, all-section players are voted on by sports writers from the Record Searchlight, Chico Enterprise-Record and the Appeal-Democrat in Yuba County with input from local high school coaches.
For Knowles, Foothill's point guard and leading scorer, it's the second time he's found his name on an all-section list after cracking the second team as a junior in 2016-17.
This season, Knowles was one of the top-20 scorers in the Northern Section, averaging 16.1 points per game and helping the Cougars reach Round 2 of the Division III state playoffs. Knowles himself cares more about his team's performance than personal accolades, but he said being named to the all-section team can be valuable for recruiting.
"Being from the North Section, you don't get a lot of recognition up here," said Knowles, who will spend his week with college players and coaches at Division II program Colorado School of Mines.
Knowles isn't the only Redding-area player to make First Team All-Northern Section. Shasta forward Simer Singh was also picked as one of the section's top-five players.
Singh, a senior, led Shasta in scoring this year with 13 points per game to go with 6.4 rebounds per game. Singh was a staple for Shasta up until the team's 67-50 loss to Foothill in the section playoffs, a game in which Singh totaled 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
A handful of Redding-area players also made their way onto the section's second and third teams.
Redding Christian guard Austin Larson was named Second Team All-Northern Section after a junior season in which he averaged 23.3 points per game, second-most in the section. Foothill forward Jonny Cruz was the second Cougar to make the list after averaging 14.1 points per game and shooting an impressive 58 percent from the field in his senior season. Making a second consecutive appearance on the section's second team was Mt. Shasta junior Kaden Riccomini.

If you are someone who doesn't feel like moving out of your home in the evenings or weekends due to concerns about parking space at major locations, then this news is just for you.
Motorists who are heading towards Souq Waqif, Katara Cultural Village and the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center will be able to find empty parking space for their cars, thanks to the recently upgraded Masarak iTraffic app.
The app's smart parking feature is an immediate solution to people's parking woes. It will provide motorist with information on empty parking slots and help avoid wasting time. Currently, the app has access to five parking areas, three of which are adjacent to Souq Waqif, reported The Peninsula.
"The connected parking lots include Al Ahmed parking, Al Shioukh parking, Souq Waqif north underground parking, the DECC parking and the Katara Cultural Village underground parking," said Dr Hamid Menouar, Product Manager-R&D expert at Qatar Mobility Innovations Center (QMIC).
The app, which can be downloaded for free for Android and iOS, was developed by QMIC in partnership with the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning (MMUP).
Available in English and Arabic, the app was initially launched mainly to give users an overview of the traffic conditions in Qatar, in real-time, and help them navigate using the shortest and fastest routes to their destinations.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport and Communications ( MoTC) launched the Qatar Parking Master Plan (QPMP), which will develop a geographic information system (GIS) and smart applications for future parking plans, reported Gulf Times.
"QPMP aims at building GIS and smart applications which would assist all relevant entities in the country in terms of future parking plans," said Rashed Taleb Al Nabit, assistant undersecretary for Land Transport, MoTC.
The official said that MoTC recently launched several projects for the planning and development of road network including the QPMP.
"It's the main focus of efforts towards the planning and distribution of parking spaces and development of policies and regulations for their operation, in line with current and future road networks, public transportation, land use, and future prospects for demographic and labour expansion," he explained.
The Smart Parking Qatar Conference, supported by the National Traffic Safety Committee, is a platform for developing car park management strategies and innovations for sustainable and liveable cities.
