There is a new application that has just been released onto Android and iOS that will be focusing solely on mobile gaming videos, live streams, and news called Core. Staffed by some fairly heavy hitters from the video games industry, including former Machinima VP of content strategy Matthew Cohen as CEO, the app's goal is to "help solve the discovery and community problem in today's fragmented mobile games market".
Since its release Pokemon Go wasn't just about going out trying to catch all the little creatures of our childhood. It asked us to make, as always, our first important choice: our team! After that the war began, rivalries took over the net, and in the streets with the aim of making all the gyms in our city belonging to our team. However, this has never been an easy task. First of all, because of the great number of players trying to do the same under a different color, but also because the little field of view available in the app didn't allow us to see much further from our position.
One of the problems with mobile gaming isn't so much the games themselves, but the download sizes. This holds true with not just your initial update of a big game, but also the subsequent updates that games and apps get that also are big. If you have unlimited data on your plan, then this doesn't matter much either way. However, if you don't have unlimited data, the last thing you want to do is chew up a large chunk of your data downloading a 1GB game update.
A couple of months ago Twitch bought Curse, which started off as a communication suite for gamers to use while in game but has since expanded greatly in what that platform provides. Since then the team at Twitch has been working on integrating Curse's suite of communication tools into its platform, and now it looks like video calling has finally arrived for Twitch. To start, it is now available for desktop users, but mobile support is in the works.
Skylanders fans have a couple of new goodies to look forward to with more expansion to the franchise heading our way soon. While the next Skylanders game that was announced (called Skylanders Imaginators) is for consoles, mobile gamers and fans are not being left behind either. Activision has revealed that Skylanders Imaginators will be getting a companion app called Skylanders Creator.
Up until now Twitch has been strictly a streaming service and platform, not allowing pre-recorded content of any kind to be uploaded to a user's channel. You could, however, have records of previous live streams and VODs available for your fans to check out if they missed a stream or anything like that. Now Twitch has set its sights on YouTube but allowing pre-recorded content to be uploaded to a streamer's channel.
As many of you are probably aware, Amazon bought Twitch not too long ago for a cool $970 million and has since kept their hands on the game streaming company. One feature many people have been wanting has apparently been the ability for their Amazon Prime membership to count towards their Twitch Turbo membership. Well, as of today, that has become a reality in a few regions.
It's the end of another week which also means it is time for another Android game sale round-up! This week's like only has a few new entries to it, so the majority of this week's list happens to be repeats. That's not totally a bad thing, since last week's list was rather big, so it'll give people another chance to grab some more games that were on sale last week that have been carried over to this one.
People will live stream some pretty crazy challenges on platforms like Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Mobcrush, and so on. I've personally seen all types of records broken for speed runs in a number of games, as well as people passing out mid-stream trying to break a world records for this or that. It's pretty entertaining to say the least. Well a streamer by the name of BoarGeneral completed a pretty insane challenge, all of which happened to be streamed live.
A little update has come around for Google Play that should make developers and some of us media folk happy. Google has now begun showing the actual download size for games and apps available on Google Play. Up until now, there has just been a general size listed, if one was listed at all. Many of them just say 'Varies per Device'.

When AOL updates its software, the new version bears a number: 7.0, 8.0, 9.0. The most recent version is called AOL 9.0 Security Edition. These days, improving the utility of the Internet is not so much about delivering the latest cool application; it's about survival.
In August, IBM released a study reporting that "virus-laden e-mails and criminal driven security attacks" leapt by 50 percent in the first half of 2005, with government and the financial-services, manufacturing, and health-care industries in the crosshairs. In July, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported that 43 percent of U.S. Internet users -- 59 million adults -- reported having spyware or adware on their computers, thanks merely to visiting websites. (In many cases, they learned this from the sudden proliferation of error messages or freeze-ups.) Fully 91 percent had adopted some defensive behavior -- avoiding certain kinds of websites, say, or not downloading software. "Go to a neighborhood bar, and people are talking about firewalls. That was just not true three years ago," says Susannah Fox, associate director of the Pew project.
But perhaps most menacing of all are "botnets" -- collections of computers hijacked by hackers to do remote-control tasks like sending spam or attacking websites. This kind of wholesale hijacking -- made more potent by wide adoption of always-on broadband connections -- has spawned hard-core crime: digital extortion. Hackers are threatening destructive attacks against companies that don't meet their financial demands. According to a study by a Carnegie Mellon University researcher, 17 of 100 companies surveyed had been threatened with such attacks.
Simply put, the Internet has no inherent security architecture -- nothing to stop viruses or spam or anything else. Protections like firewalls and antispam software are add-ons, security patches in a digital arms race.
The President's Information Technology Advisory Committee, a group stocked with a who's who of infotech CEOs and academic researchers, says the situation is bad and getting worse. "Today, the threat clearly is growing," the council wrote in a report issued in early 2005. "Most indicators and studies of the frequency, impact, scope, and cost of cyber security incidents -- among both organizations and individuals -- point to continuously increasing levels and varieties of attacks."
And we haven't even seen a real act of cyberterror, the "digital Pearl Harbor" memorably predicted by former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke in 2000 (see "A Tangle of Wires"). Consider the nation's electrical grid: it relies on continuous network-based communications between power plants and grid managers to maintain a balance between production and demand. A well-placed attack could trigger a costly blackout that would cripple part of the country.
The conclusion of the advisory council's report could not have been starker: "The IT infrastructure is highly vulnerable to premeditated attacks with potentially catastrophic effects."
The system functions as well as it does only because of "the forbearance of the virus authors themselves," says Jonathan Zittrain, who cofounded the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School and holds the Chair in Internet Governance and Regulation at the University of Oxford. "With one or two additional lines of code...the viruses could wipe their hosts' hard drives clean or quietly insinuate false data into spreadsheets or documents. Take any of the top ten viruses and add a bit of poison to them, and most of the world wakes up on a Tuesday morning unable to surf the Net -- or finding much less there if it can."
In Part 2: Why patching up the Internet with layers of security software isn't working -- and what a safer new architecture might look like.
664, 0, 16051, Eileen McCluskey, 12/19/2005 10:09:32 AM, Broken Net, Im curious to know if the new architecture could be slipped into place without interrupting e-activities -- an act akin to pulling the tablecloth out from under the food and dishes. Except, of course, for the additional trick of simultaneously sliding a fresh cloth underneath the setup without disturbing anything. Yikes?
675, 667, 16051, Bellinghamster, 12/19/2005 4:52:05 PM, Spam proliferation, Despite my ISPs efforts to filter emailed spam, my inbasket is typically less than one-quarter legitimate message traffic. But purging spam isnt my greatest inefficiency. The time I spend maintaining firewall, virus and malware software is the truly significant inefficiency.
682, 678, 16051, Mike, 12/20/2005 1:30:05 AM, Great sales pitch, Isnt one of the best ways to get someone to spend money to instill fear? Some people would argue thats how congress is duped into appropriating funds - How close is Cambridge to DC? :-) If they want to spend $200M, send it my way and Ill demonstrate a cool solution to make it easier to deploy new web-based services, to any device, saving major corporations Billions in the process. Cheers!
684, 0, 16051, Si, 12/20/2005 4:31:01 AM, hogwash, Im a day late on this and notice that artMonster has hit it perfectly. Big brother wants control. I would hate to think what the internet would be like if they redesigned it along the lines suggested.
687, 684, 16051, Fergus Doyle, 12/20/2005 5:39:59 AM, Hogwash, I agree with the other two guys here the problems are down to MS software - specifically that MS cannot/will not keep up with changing circumstance, by releasing SW. I have no spyware on my (Windows) system and no viruses. eg use Firefox not Internet Explorer use Thunderbird not Outlook Express and most of your problems with Windows are solved. Use Linux and you dont even have to worry this much.
688, 682, 16051, Owen N. Martinez, 12/20/2005 5:47:24 AM, The Internet is in need of repair, Like any system, the I. needs to be tuned-up or repaired as things get out of control. Who is qualified to determine what to do, and who should control the system? Preferably the same entity or two very close ones, that have the confidence of the majority the users. The US government need not apply.
689, 687, 16051, E Feustel, 12/20/2005 6:30:49 AM, Its the infrastructure that needs changing, Its the routers and the protocols that need changing to permit secure higher speed operation including authentication of the traffic on the net -- no more fake IP addresses and if the packet says that X sent it, then X did actually send it. No more DNS hacking -- if you ask for Xs address, you get Xs address, not Ys. And you get it with the minimum computation in a reliable manner even with pieces of the net going down.
693, 690, 16051, Dr Hacker, 12/20/2005 10:35:07 AM, Hogwash Support, artMonster is right on. The royalists from MaBell refuse to give up their 100+ year monopoly. I say give it up and become Americans instead of British-like thugs. We dont want another 1776, but it looks like we may need one!
833, 689, 16051, mrxsmb, 12/28/2005 4:30:12 AM, Hogwash indeed., Although hopefully grown ups dont need more alert than &quotpowerpoint presentation" and "$400 million dollars reseach funding" in close proximity to know that. The issues highlighted with MS [the debilitating Operating System, not the debilitating Physical Affliction] and its usability over functionality approach are all valid, but other OSs and applications have their own issues. Of course business could actually pony up the money to build their own networks and not use the internet, but then how would that save them money? I believe some already do, as do Governments and sensibly so. One bank in Australia has actually got with the program and realised they should issue their on-line banking customers with a swipe and pin security system the same as on an ATM, at each and every house. How much of the &quotproblems" discussed would be solved by this simple change in attitude?
834, 0, 16051, Sundararajan Srinivasan, 12/28/2005 5:47:34 AM, Designers did it, Some of the internet bugs we have now has nothing to do with the OS. It was the way in which it was designed. For instance, SMTP does not provide authentication by default. I can pose myself as [email protected] with an SMTP server, w/o any problem. This is because the SMTP does not mind the &quotfrom" address. The solution can be the usage of digital signature. Internet and all the related protocols could have been designed more secure. But it would not have got the same popularity, as it is now. That is why, we are now paying security experts to build layers of security.
881, 834, 16051, rmarino, 12/30/2005 9:53:56 PM, The Internet is not about MS Windows, Swithching operating systems will not prevent spammers from clogging up the network nor will it prevent hackers from taking advantage of architectural problems.
1163, 689, 16051, CEC, 1/7/2006 10:43:44 AM, The end device should provide the security, The more complexity/code you add to the routers and other infrastructure, the more you will hamper its primary function: communication. The only thing to be gained by making the infrastructure more complex is a slower internet and more vulnerabilities in routers and other infrastructure devices. The end point should be designed for the level of security it requires. I have no problem with network prevention of obvious malicious traffic (ie. worms), but I dont want the government owning this surveillance. I certainly dont want the internet to change only for the benefit of commercial interests and governments wishing to stamp out political dissent - that is belittling to the purpose of the internet.
1188, 834, 16051, The P-man, 1/8/2006 8:36:57 PM, Spoofing is good example of the problem, A big cost to business that is most difficult to prevent yourself (unlike security) is your address being spoofed to send spam. This is nothing to do with Windows and there is little you can do about it. Spoofing has its legitimate uses but could do with tightening up. The problem is the way it is presented. If all email clients made it clear that a from address and a return address are different you wouldnt have a term like spoofing and thered be way less confusion. Its a difficult balance to keep things simple as well but a lot of it can be made less harmful through education and being more open.
1243, 667, 16051, Rider, 1/11/2006, Slipery Slope, This new internet will probably be used to decrease the amount of freedom on the internet and give more control to our government.
1255, 0, 16051, Nart, 1/11/2006, It ain't broke. These guys are just bored..., The internet today is the same thing it was decades ago. An open platform for doing what we want to do with it. Problems only arise when you do not use it safely. Just like walking down a dark alley, you will eventually get into trouble. There is plenty of light on the internet, but plenty of dark spaces too. Use good judgement, keep you head about you, and surf/use correctly and legally and you won't see 90% of the problems that are around. Individual problems can be resolved by the use, like SPF for e-mail (why hasn't that taken off yet?) and stop using peer-to-peer for things you should not be doing. The i-net is just fine as it is. Any control would mean the end of the world as we know it, and that would not be good.
1256, 0, 16051, webfrog, 1/11/2006, It does need to be fixed, I am amazed at the narrow mindedness of the posts here. In my opinion the Internet is in a sense broken and it does need to be revamped.
1299, 0, 16051, David Schurman in Berlin, 1/13/2006, no one will trust a NEW US sponsored internet, ...given the current imperial US regime's prediliction for spying, and general level of dishonesty, NO ONE will move to a "new internet" sponsored or created in / by the US. It will be like Microsoft products, full of as many holes as a Swiss Cheeze...and all the trapdoors leading to NSA, etc.!
And the arrogance that "perhaps some other labs than in US might take part"... WAKE UP... you don't grasp the damage done to the US reputation by GWB and Co.
The article comes none too soon.
However, what about the users who cannot get off it? Suffer till help is on the way? What is the estimated damage?

Q: Browser redirects to https So I've moved a website to another server (from wordpress) and have transferred the domain. Previously, it had a ssl certificate in wordpress, but not now (not needed). So now, when I try to access it in a browser, it automatically redirects to https. I know how to remove it from the browser cache, but the problem is, all the users that had accessed the website before will have the same problem and they won't know how to solve it or won't be even interested in doing so. My client could be losing a lot of visitors because of that.
Is there any way to solve that without buying a ssl certificate? I only need to solve the browser cache problem, the website is all new and everything else works fine.

Traditional History
The exact origin of Freemasonry is unknown and only theories try to explain its genesis and original purpose. The only certainty is that on 24 June 1717, the feast day of St John the Baptist, four London lodges met to create the Grand Lodge of England, the first of its kind in the world. Before that there was only limited written references to Freemasonry as well as some records of small lodges of operative stonemasons. In addition there are the well-known earliest records known as "the Old Charges", some dating from the end of the fourteenth century, while most of them are from after 1600. They define a series of regulations, or charges, for the social behaviour of the Masons within their Craft and in the outside world. They also include a legendary history of Geometry, Architecture and the Craft of Masonry as well as a description of the Seven Liberal Art and Sciences.
It is from these Old Charges that the "official or traditional" history of Freemasonry, included in the Constitutions of the eighteenth century, is derived. It is, of course, mostly fictitious and it states that Freemasonry is descending from the working, or operative, stonemasons of the Middle Ages. The Traditional history goes even further back to the Biblical Patriarchs (Noah, Moses,...), and to King Solomon and the building of the first Jerusalem Temple. From there traditional history jumps to Charles Martel, St Alban, King Athelstan, and the mythical "Great Assembly of Masons at York" under Prince Edwin in 930 AD. All this is pure invention, but it was taken as true in the eighteenth century. This traditional history was dropped from the Constitutions in 1815 although some romantic members of the Craft still believe it. Other historians believe in a lineage as ancient and as impressive as the traditional history.
There is no doubt that there were some connections between medieval operative masons and the so-called modern speculative Freemasons, as the structure of the Craft makes clear. The exact nature of the connection is still the object of heated arguments between historians. Some believe in a direct lineage, while others believe that the reality was more complex.
In 1737 Chevalier Andrew Ramsay wrote an "Oration" that claimed that Freemasonry, as a symbolic system, has its origin among the Knights Templar, the true founder of the Craft according to him. This theory has no historical basis. The Order of the Templars was created in 1118 in Jerusalem at the time of the first crusade. The crusaders were thrown out of Palestine and the order continued in Western Europe until 1307 when the king of France, Philip the Fair, had all Templars in France arrested and sent to trial after being tortured. The Pope dissolved the Order on 1312 and its last Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, was burned at the stake in 1314. They were accused of sorcery and blasphemy. Some Freemasons believe that a few Templars fled to Scotland where they perpetuated their Order in confidence until it became public again as Freemasonry. In this way the "restricted knowledge" of the Templars became that of the Freemasons. There are some similitude between the Templars and the Freemasons (hierarchical structure, secret initiation, concerned about King Solomon's Temple), but there are also big differences (different initiation ceremonies, vows of celibate and poverty for the Templars only). Although no link has ever been found between the Templars and the Freemasons the myth remains alive, even to day, and some Freemasons still proclaim their beliefs in their Templar origins.
Another theory links the Freemasons to the Rosicrucians. There is no evidence to support this theory, or even to affirm that the Rosicrucian brotherhood ever existed. It has been said in 1730 that the English Freemasonry adopted the Rosicrucian ceremonies as their own. At the end of the eighteenth century various lodges proclaimed that they were the heirs of Christian Rosenkreuz and that Rosicrucianism, and Freemasonry, were always linked together or, even more, that Freemasonry emerged from Rosicrucianism but again there are no historical evidences to prove it. The publication of three anonymous Manifestos in 1614 was the first public reference to Rosicrucianism. The Manifestos asked for a reformation of religions and manners, and told the story of Christian Rosenkreuz, the mythical founder of Rosicrucianism. The legend of Christian Rosenkreuz is very similar to the life of Jesus Christ; his followers are required to follow a life of apostolic zeal and simplicity. The followers are part of a kind of Protestant monastic Order; they are obliged to heal the sick and to find a worthy "successor". The structure and rituals of the Rosicrucians are very different from those of Freemasonry. The Masonic ceremonies teach moral lessons, whereas the Rosicrucian ceremonies are directed to spiritual attainment and on wisdom acquisition. No such order was known to exist before the publication of the manifestos. Afterwards some lodges pretended to carry on the Rosicrucian myth.

Evans to Betsy - managerial comings and goings 2022/23
Now all the promotion playoffs are complete, we need a new thread for the upcoming season.
Crawley have just announced Kevin Betsy as their new manager, so that means their time in the Football League began with Evans in charge through to Betsy for the new season.
Cracking thread title. Well done.
Yes, very well done on the thread title Sean of the Shed
Michael Duff spoke with Barnsley yesterday regarding their vacancy, but apparently Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is still favourite for the job. That doesn't make it at all rosy for Cheltenham though because we have also now received an approach from Blackpool for Duff.
Duff has property in Lancashire and his kids were born there, so it's as logical a move for him as any. I've always been of the belief that the club have irons in the fire for this inevitability. I thought Duff would give us one more season but, given what he's done for the club, I certainly won't begrudge him a move to the league above.
Assuming he doesn't go with Duff, Wade Elliott would be favourite for our hotseat. He's been Duff's right hand man, but apparently only took the job because he wanted to live closer to Bristol.

Given their new ownership, would there be many tears shed if it turned out to be their last season in the league as well? Assuming there's probably going to be too many other rubbish teams for that actually to be the case.

Michael Duff to Barnsley is confirmed.
I hadn't realized until just now that his namesake was Polish (Ursus may know more about him):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Duff
I'm currently in a weird state of mind.
I'm gutted he's gone (obviously) but this has been going on for nearly a month now so I'm glad it's over.
I just hope Barnsley don't mess him around. He's got all the tools, but he will need time to bed his philosophies in.
I'd hope he's been given guarantees about time if not money (which I assume isn't there). Another danger is they go back up but then crash down in an even worse state.
I know zero about the other Duff, but note that it is a strikingly non-Polish name to pick after fleeing and that Tarnów is an interesting place (though rather less so after the loss of virtually all of its Jewish community.)

Barnsley are pretty established as a yoyo club like their neighbours Rotherham. I imagine they're determined to break the cycle but not by spending an extra year in division 3. If Duff doesn't take them up at the 1st attempt, will he be given time to instill his own philosophies?

Favourite Biscuit: Wagon Wheel
It depends. If he can add monetary value to our players then he will be in the job for as long as he wants. If he doesn't, then he'll be gone.

PAYING TOO MUCH FOR TRUCK INSURANCE?
In California, the law states that a vehicle operating on the road cannot exceed forty feet. Of course, there are exceptions to this law, but sometimes permits must be purchased in order to allow for legal operation of your vehicle. Provisions in California law allow for special instances like towing semi-trucks to exceed the length restrictions. Also, certain passenger vehicles like trolleys and busses are allowed to be up to sixty feet in length. The law allows other provisions to accommodate for things like safety bumpers or rails, or bike racks on busses and variety of other exemptions based on particular hardware. California also has specific weight restrictions with regard to commercial trucks or campers, so be sure to purchase permits to operate these vehicles in California should they exceed weight restrictions. Permits can be found at any California truck stops or truck stops in neighboring states.

CCOO met with the Occupational Health and Safety Coordination Chamber Prosecutor
November 7, 2022 by hussein
The Occupational Health and Environmental Sustainability Secretary and representatives of CCOO Law Firm and Legal Services had a meeting today with the Occupational Health and Safety Coordination Chamber Prosecutor and his team to analyze the reality of prevention and the accident rate. to explore lines of cooperation that can translate into an increase for the health and safety of our country as well as the working class.
The current scenario of significant increase in occupational accidents makes it important to seek synergies between the two institutions, if possible, to further activate the role of the Occupational Health and Safety Coordination Chamber Prosecutor.
During the meeting, both sides shared the analysis of the evolution of the accident rate in our country and the need to redouble all efforts that allow us to reduce and control occupational accidents and stop serious and fatal accidents fundamentally, starting with the first reflection on how to do this. Prevention is losing value not only in business environments but also in many public spaces.
Very relevant issues for CCOO were discussed, such as updating the Framework Protocol on cooperation between the General Assembly for the Judiciary, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the State Prosecutor's Office for effective and speedy execution. investigation of crimes against the life, health and physical integrity of workers and the execution of convictions.
Mariano Sanz, CCOO's secretary for Occupational Health and Environmental Sustainability, conveyed to the prosecutor's office the urgent need to regulate criminal cases that are currently too long, with an average duration of more than 5 years and turning into job victims. it turns into a great oblivion even though it is in very vulnerable situations most of the time. In this sense, both institutions shared the need to make more projections and strengthen them with more materials and human resources to the Specialized Units in Occupational Accidents.
The training of judges and the specialization of courts in Occupational Health and Safety is a clear commitment of both the prosecution and the CCOO that the specialization and training of the judiciary not only helps us to shorten the response times of justice, but is better suited to the type of crimes prosecuted.
Another area of special interest was the invisibility of the harm done to women in the field of crime, the agreement on the need to bring the authenticity of women in the workplace to this field, the different risks and harms women face at work. occupational health and safety management.
Addressing crimes related to occupational diseases should be a priority, according to the ILO and WHO, work-related diseases cause 4 times more deaths than occupational accidents and yet in very few cases patients or their relatives are compensated and reinstated
The Prosecutor's Office, for the defense of all the rights of the employees, XV of the Criminal Code. The creation of a holistic unit that undertakes all the crimes in its title has transferred its commitment to the need for courts to specialize in this issue to the union. also increasing the powers of the Health and Safety Prosecutor's Office in the social judiciary in order to intervene in processes arising from work accidents and occupational diseases.
A commitment to attend an upcoming conference under preparation by the Secretary for Occupational Health and Environmental Sustainability has been provided to promote knowledge and coordinated action between both agencies.

This month has seen one or two new watches hit the market, and there are many more that are coming to market by the end of this year to look out for. As for what's available now though, if you're looking for a smartwatch, there's quite a few choices to consider. If you want to cut down on some of the hassle of looking, these are some of the best options out there, all with different styles and prices.
Moving down one spot on the list, and being this month's first watch on the list as well, is the T-Mobile exclusive ZTE Quartz. While it does come with Android Wear, is fairly affordable, and comes with a decent design, it's only available at T-Mobile which is going to limit some people from buying it, which is part of why it's now the first watch on here this month. That said it's sure to be perfect for some users.
Also moving down the list this month is Nixon's Mission smartwatch. Despite moving down a spot though the Mission is still one of the best Android Wear smartwatches you can pick up for a number of reasons, not the least of which is its durability factor. It also comes in multiple colors and it's running Android Wear 2.0, and because it's a watch aimed at those who tend to be more active and adventurous, it comes with a water resistant build which you can swim with it, meaning you'll be able to get it wet so long as it's not submerged for too long. It's also built to withstand drops and dings so you can wear it skating, cycling, or during whatever other activity you want.
New to the list this month is the Movado Connect. The Movado Connect was announced in the beginning of the year as one of the new Android Wear 2.0 watches coming to the market, and it now looks to be available exclusively from Movado's website. While this is still Android Wear 2.0, meaning most of the software experience will be exactly the same as every other smartwatch with the same version of software, the Movado Connect does offer something that many of the other watches won't, and that's the higher-grade of luxury and design. Movado is a luxury watch brand after all. The device will be offered in a number of different styles including different styled bands, and different colored watch cases. It's got NFC too, so it's capable of being used with Android Wear, and you'll get to select from a collection of exclusive Movado watch faces to use as well, though all of it does come at a price as this is one of the more costly devices.
One of Fossil's latest is the Q Explorist, which went up for presale recently at Fossil's own website and will be launching later this Fall. The Q Explorist builds on everything that has been great with past Fossil Android Wear watches, while keeping things true to the style that Fossil is known for. The Q Explorist is running on Android Wear 2.0, and it comes with three buttons on the side for interacting with certain functions. It's also got a completely round display which is a first for Fossil. Naturally, it comes in a variety of styles.
The Nokia Steel is not your typical smartwatch as it doesn't come with a touch display, it doesn't run Android Wear, and it doesn't have a ton of the smart features you will see from most of the offerings on this list. It does have the ability to track your steps, calories, and some other activities, tell the time, and monitor your sleep, as well you vibrate to alert you when there are notifications coming into your connected device. It's also waterproof. If this is more your style of watch then you shouldn't be disappointed as it also comes in a sleeker design than most chunky smartwatches.
It's hard to overlook the ASUS ZenWatch 3 as a smartwatch option if you're in need of a smartwatch. It has one of the best designs of any Android Wear watch out there that won't cost you an arm and a leg, it comes with Android Wear 2.0, and it comes in a variety of style options. Whether you're looking to replace a smartwatch or this will be your first one, the ZenWatch 3 deserves your consideration if you want something that looks more traditional.
The Huawei Watch 2 was one of the first watches to launch this year with Android Wear 2.0, behind the LG Watch Style and LG Watch Sport, and it's also still one of the few Android Wear smartwatches that can make mobile payments using Android Pay. It can also make calls if you get the LTE model, which also allows you to leave your smartphone at home, and it's water resistant as well as a bit more durable thanks to its sporty design.
Looking for something a little more basic but still functional? The LG Watch Style might be what you're looking for. While it may not have NFC or LTE capabilities, which means no voice call or Android Pay support, it does have Android Wear 2.0 which means all of the other functions that come with that version of the software, such as the Play Store. The design isn't too flashy either, so you can still have smartwatch functions without making it extremely obvious.
Staying at the number two spot this month is the LG Watch Sport, one of the most capable Android Wear watches out there with Android Wear 2.0, as well as LTE support so you can use the watch to make calls and use any of its other internet-connected functions without needing your phone on you. It also has NFC so you can use the watch to make payments with Android Pay, though it unfortunately doesn't allow for swapping out the bands, so you're stuck with the one that comes on it. If that doesn't bother you, then you can hardly go wrong with this as the watch of choice.
Samsung's Gear S3 is still one of the best smartwatches on the market as it packs a ton of features and design elements that make it a great option. For one, it has the rotating bezel which is great for cycling through notifications and other screens or features without having to smudge up the screen. It's also compatible with Samsung Pay, meaning you can use the watch at quite a few more places than Android Pay, and although it doesn't run Android Wear it does still have quite a few available apps. The watch also gained some other newly added features that give it more value, such as the recently added offline Spotify playlist support. It's water and dust resistant, and it comes in an LTE model, while also supporting swappable bands so you can customize its look.


I've bought a Lenovo Y70-70 Touch laptop.It worked well but the screen started flickering black and showing horizontal lines with rainbow color.
I've Updated Video Card drivers for the both cards but it didin't work.
My laptop is new I have it from like 2-3 months.
I checked and the screen doesn't flicker in Safe Mode neither in BIOS.
It happens in both situations - When the AC adapter is plugged and when its not.
It flickers on all power plans.
I thinks its not from magnetic fields because I removed all gadgets and the problem presisit.
I checked the cables plugged in the laptop and its not from them.
I followed all the steps but the problem presists.
I noticed that when I watch youtube videos it flickers more and when I try to play Flash Games in the browser the flickering is the most.Its nearly impossible to play Flash Games in the browser because of the flickering.
If the problem is caused from something that is inside the laptop and if I open it will it void the warranty of the laptop ?
The Lenovo investigation into customer reports of blanking or blinking displays on Y50-70, Y50-70 Touch, and Y70-70 Touch laptops has concluded.
If the updated BIOS fails to resolve these symptoms, I would recommend you to contact Lenovo service center and report your findings.
I tried updating my bios but its already the latest version.
Any other solutions to try ?
I have the same problem. Laptop bought in Poland. Twice sent to the service warranty and nothing was found. From what I read thousands of people have the same problem. Any ideas as to the cause?
Again, unfortunately, they began to show the horizontal lines. If anyone knows the cause of Lenovo technicians say that it is not the cable LCD?
Did the issue persist with external display as well?

Ovechkin scores twice in Capitals' 6-1 Game 3 rout of Flyers
April 19, 2016 6:15AM (UTC)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Alex Ovechkin scored twice, Braden Holtby had 31 saves and the Washington Capitals moved one game closer to a sweep in their first-round playoff series with a 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.
The Capitals lead a series 3-0 for the first time in franchise history. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
Ovechkin snapped a tie game with his 38th postseason goal and Holtby made the lead stand with his third straight sensational effort in the series. The Capitals scored five power-play goals, including four in the third period.
The Flyers lost in their first home game since founder Ed Snider's death last week. Michael Raffl scored 57 seconds into the game and sent a crowd already rocking after an emotional pregame tribute into a frenzy.
But passion alone wasn't enough to fuel the Flyers.
Philadelphia fans showed the wrong kind of spirit late in the game when they tossed wristbands used as part of a pregame lights show on the ice as Washington turned this one into a rout.
Flyers public address announcer Lou Nolan urged fans to "show some class" during the first wave of band tossing. He later told fans the Flyers would be hit with a penalty if they kept throwing the objects on the ice. Sure enough, the wristbands kept coming, and the Flyers were hit with a bench minor for delay of game. Nolan said, "way to go," and the fans cheered as if they were proud of the penalty.
The Flyers dedicated their postseason run to Snider, who died last week after a two-year battle with cancer.
The Flyers hanged a banner outside the arena with Snider's picture and the caption "A Flyer Forever." His silhouette was inside the Flyers logo for the customary playoff T-shirt giveaway, and some fans left flowers and cards at a makeshift memorial next to the team flag.
"EMS" — initials for Edward Malcolm Snider — were painted on the ice behind each net.
Lauren Hart, the team's longtime anthem singer, sang "God Bless America" with Snider's name and "67" on the back of her team jersey. The Flyers' first season was 1967-68. Hart's eyes watered and her hands were shaking throughout her performance.
Raffl knocked in the first shot of the game off Brandon Manning's attempt from the point and a packed arena went wild.
The Flyers had motivation, home ice and a bit of history on their side — Washington had been 0-7 in Game 3s of best-of-seven playoff series when leading 2-0.
But this season's Capitals had the best record in the NHL and thoroughly outplayed the Flyers in the first two games. Once the crowd and the Flyers settled down, the Capitals got going and looked every bit as dominant as they had all season.
Marcus Johansson tied the game at 1-all in the first, beating a beleaguered Steve Mason for his first career postseason goal. Mason was back in net following his Game 2 gaffe that has been replayed on an endless loop in Philly — Jason Chimera's 101-foot tip-in on a play that would have been icing had it not gone on net.
Mason had a pair of easy goals scored against him that hushed the Philly crowd.
Ovechkin bounced over the boards and snapped a long-distance wrist shot from above the circle past Mason. That gave Ovechkin 38 goals and 34 assists to match Dale Hunter for first on Washington's career playoff points list with 72.
Mason was befuddled again in the third. Justin Williams' shot off the boards settled near Mason, who pawed at the puck and it trickled away. Evgeny Kuznetsov pounced and pounded in the goal for a 3-1 lead on just 18 shots.
John Carlson, Ovechkin and Jay Beagle made it 6-1 with power-play goals in the third. The Capitals have eight in the series.
The Flyers are 0 for 13 in the series.
Claude Giroux, who led the Flyers with 67 points, has none this series.
Notes: Capitals D Brooks Orpik left in the second period with an undisclosed injury. Ryan White hit Orpik into the boards and he went down. Orpik needed help walking to the locker room. ... Washington had never led a series 3-0 in 35 best-of-seven playoff series.

Q: DataObjects.NET: a good (flawless, documented, support) ORM? I am looking for ORM frameworks, came along to NHibernate, Genome, L2S, Entity Framework and now the DataObjects.NET.. So far a I read the documentation it seems pretty cabable, but have you ever tried this ORM?
Any issues/bugs with DO.NET would be approciated :)

A: I used DataObjects.Net v4.
It supports VS 2010 and .Net 4.0 and it is really good ORM.
It's easy to use and it constructs the database automatically so you do not design the database and reverse engineer it to classes like some other ORMs.
The only thing that was so annoying about it is the Session management and switching mechanism in case of web applications. I think even this is being taken care of in version 4.4 currently under development.

A: I think you should take a look at LLBLGen Pro as well. I think this is probably the best .NET ORM out there.

A: Aside from the fact that this question sound a lot like an informercial, there's a big problem with DataObjects.Net - it's dual-licensed as a GPL or commercial w/o evaluation. So the answer is - no, I have not tried it and it is quite unlikely I will try it.
I have no beef with GPL (though I do not like it for various reasons), or dual-licensed products - after all the license choice is a right to the copyright holder. However, I also want to reserve that right for my software as well. I am writing commercial software, which I have no problem releasing as open source, but under a license of my choice. If I am to adopt a new ORM, I want, nay - I need to be able to release a CTP preview of my product to a limited set of customers for real-life testing. And that would mean I either have to splurge the money for DO.Net upfront without knowing whether my investment will benefit me; or I have to release my sources under a license that effectively takes away the control over my app from me and has the potential to ruin my business by commoditizing my product.
Now, if there was a limited evaluation license, say one month noncommercial use, I might consider giving it a quick trial and see how it works.
If a product wants commercial adoption, it needs to have a risk-free way for early adopters to evaluate it.

A: Does DataObjects.NET support SQL identity columns yet? I abandoned v3 because I couldn't find a way to support identity columns.

Akwa Starlets coach Emmanuel King has attributed his side's success story in the ongoing 2013 Federation Cup to the balanced officiating so far exhibited by the referees.

King said his wards are wholly rookies but the referees made it possible for them to display their raw talents to the fullest unlike the scenario that plays out in the league.
"The performance of the referees in the Federation Cup has given me hope that the referees could perform excellently even in the league if they want to do so. The same sides that are excelling in the Federation Cup are not able to repeat the feat in the league due to questionable officiating therein.
"We haven't seen very good officiating in the league as is the case in the ongoing Federation Cup, (I'm not saying this) just because I'm in the quarterfinals, it's an open secret any unbiased person could readily attest to.
"Officiating has been balanced no inducement or intimidation of any kind. I think officiating has been wonderful and that explains why my players who are 99% local players are doing very well among established and seasoned players.
"Aside fair officiating, hard work and hunger to excel among the entire team have contributed to the team's success story so far in the Federation Cup," said the Akwa Starlets gaffer to supersport.com.
King said his side are not troubled facing Glo Premier League side, Lobi Stars in the quarterfinals of the yearly football fiesta.
"Our mentality and approach to matches is devoid of complex and timidity but to focus on the brighter side of the game which is to win.
"We're not intimidated by the high profile of Lobi Stars, our ambition is to win so we won't have problems handling the side.
"There appears to be a light at the end of the dark tunnel, we won't give up hope until we reach the light and I'm positive that my rookies will cause more upsets en route to playing in the final as well as winning the title for the first time," he enthused.

Air in the London Underground is far more polluted than beside busy city roads
Narwhal19	Posted on January 21, 2019
London is taking great — and appropriately aggressive — strides to help pedestrians and cyclists breathe a bit easier in areas with hazardous air quality caused by vehicle emissions. In the British capital alone, 9,000 premature deaths per year have been directly linked to air pollution alongside a range of serious related health woes, a situated deemed by many officials as bona fide public health emergency.
In response, Mayor Sadiq Kahn has, among other things, established the United Kingdom's first ultra-low vehicle emission zone in the congested heart of London. (Kicking off in April, the super-strict emissions standards would impose hefty charges on certain motorists and has, unsurprisingly, generated considerable uproar.)
What's more, Kahn just unveiled the Breathe London initiative in which roaming Google Street View cars are equipped with air quality sensors. The hope is that the sensors will help to better identify air pollution hotspots than fixed monitors. "After today we're going to have the largest and most comprehensive air quality lenses and monitors of any city in the world," Kahn tells BBC London. "And it's really important for us to know what's going on — how bad is the nitrogen dioxide, the nitrogen oxide, the particulate matter — so we can then take action to clean up the air."
While all this attention to street-level air pollution is very much needed, a new report shows that the air quality beneath the streets within the vast London Underground subway system isn't all that much better. In fact, commuters are confronted with even filthier air — albeit a different kind of filthy — while riding the Tube than they are walking down some of London's most traffic-riddled streets.
The new Transport for London (TfL)-commissioned report from the Committee on the Medical Effects on Air Pollutants (COMEAP) found that at some Tube stations, the concentration of airborne particulate matter was up to 30 times higher than around traffic-clogged London roadways. Furthermore, Tube riders are exposed to the same concentration of particulates in just one hour of subterranean commuting than if they walked for an entire day alongside London's busiest streets. This is particularly true of the Underground's deepest lines.
Elaborates the Guardian:
Tests found that the Northern Line had the highest concentration of PM2.5 (tiny particles linked to health problems) with the air on platforms at Hampstead station — the deepest on the tube network at 60 metres (200 feet) below ground level — recording an average 492 micrograms per cubic metre (μg/m3) of air, compared with an annual average of 16 μg/m3 from a roadside monitoring site in the capital.
Tube stations that run closer to street level or that are near open-air stations, common the further you travel out into the 'burbs, experienced significantly lower concentrations of PM2.5.
A new report finds that the deeper you go in the London Underground, the worse the air quality gets. This is particularly true of the Northern (black) Line, which is particularly old and particularly busy. (Photo: Oli Scarff/Getty Images)
Older, deeper and sootier
The reason why the air quality is so poor within the 11-line London Underground when compared to other subways is relatively straightforward: the Tube is deeper and more poorly ventilated than its peers. Established in 1863, the Underground is also the world's oldest metro system, and is currently the world's 11th busiest with roughly 1.4 billion annual passengers, trailing the Paris Metro, the Mexico City Metro, the Hong Kong MTR and the New York City Subway.
What's not clear is exactly how potentially dangerous the air in the Underground is for commuters. No alarm bells, at this point anyway, have been sounded. COMEAP is, however, urging TfL to further investigate: "Given that there is strong evidence that both long- and short-term exposure to particle pollutants in ambient air are harmful to health, it is likely that there is some health risk," reads the report, noting that the particulates circulating around Tube platforms are heavier and more metal-based than the carbon-based pollutants that the city are trying to minimize above ground.
In the meantime, COMEAP is urging Londoners to continue to use the Tube as they normally would given that the jury is still out when it comes to conclusive evidence regarding how toxic the air within the Underground actually is.
"We've got all this information about the health impacts of the particles above the surface," explains COMEAP chair Frank Kelly. "Below ground, we know we have a higher mass but of a different type — we don't yet have the research into the level of the toxicity, and hence the heath risk. He adds: "You're down there for a short period of time — passengers should just use the Tube as usual until we have better understanding of the risks."
The Guardian notes that the TfL will continue to monitor air quality and test dust samples for toxicity. "Although the report emphasises further monitoring and research is needed, it is an important contribution to the study of health effects associated with dust exposure," says Peter McNaught, director of asset operations at TfL. "We are committed to maintaining the cleanest air possible for our staff and customers when using the Tube."
London transport officials are encouraging commuters to ride the Tube as normal despite the release of an eyebrow-rising report detailing air quality levels in the world's oldest metro system. (Photo: Oli Scarff/Getty Images)
The mechanical friction factor
While the Evening Standard notes that the findings from COMPEAP are gleaned from the first official report to consider air pollution in the Underground in nearly 20 years, other more recent studies have delved into the matter.
A 2017 study conducted by the University of Surrey found that particulate levels were found to be eight times as high as those on city streets. In reaction to this, Feargus O'Sullivan of CityLab wrote: "The pollution caused by motor vehicles may be a menace to health, but when it comes to exposure and potential health effects, it seems you're worse off underground."
O'Sullivan does, however, make an important distinction. The air-polluting dust that plagues the Tube does not, unlike the air on the streets, originate from motor exhaust. London's subway trains are, after all, electrified. Rather, it comes from "mechanical abrasion between rails, wheels and brakes" — that is, large particles are dispersed into the air due to friction between the tracks and the trains themselves. (Exhaust fumes that have been blown down from street level, where they become trapped and continually re-circulate, are also present at Tube stations.)
"It's not the case, therefore, that electric subway trains are especially noxious sources of pollution. It's simply that the enclosed, poorly ventilated subterranean environment means that it's harder to disperse the concentrations of particulate matter," elaborates O'Sullivan, noting that while particulate matter caused by mechanical friction must be present to some degree in all subway systems, the Tube's age, depth, lack of ventilation and the narrow design of its tunnels leads to alarmingly higher concentrations of PM2.5.
For those worried about the potential health risks of riding the Tube, Chris Large, a senior partner at Global Action Plan, suggests that commuters simply get off a stop earlier than they normally would and hoof it the rest of the way, preferably, of course, on quieter and less congested streets. He also suggests that plenty of exercise, a healthy diet and avoidance of nicotine products can help minimize any potential health impacts on the human body caused by air pollution. He does not recommend Tube riders start wearing protective face masks in light of the recent report.
"We closely monitor dust levels on the Tube and, through a wide range of measures, ensure that particle levels are well within Health & Safety Executive guidelines," assures McNaught. "We have already enhanced our sampling regime by including tests for additional metals and we will continue to investigate ways we can keep dust and particles to an absolute minimum."
Matt Hickman ( @mattyhick ) writes about design, architecture and the intersection between the natural world and the built environment.

Today is Thanksgiving in the USA. For my British friends that's sort of like Harvest Festival. Anyway, besides doing not much and then sitting down to a large dinner, I found time today to go through another box of papers from my storage area, i.e. my garage floor. The gem above is what I found. I used to belong to a hobby group of publishers, poets and printers. This piece dates from about 1972-73. This might even be classified as an ancient manuscript.

Toyota GAZOO Racing in control at midpoint of Dakar 2019 | Eurol B.V.
Toyota Gazoo Racing started Dakar 2019 with a bang. Al Attiya/Baumel won the short opening stage, putting them first on the road for Stage 2. This opened the door for De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz to capitalise on their good road position, and the pair made the most of the opportunity. Although they only set up the fourth quickest time in Stage 2, they took over the lead of the rally.
Stage 3 brought heartache for De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz, but also saw Al Attiyah/Baumel take over the lead of the rally – which meant that Toyota Gazoo Racing had lead every day of Dakar 2019 until the rest day. At the same time, Ten Brinke/Panseri consolidated their position, and looked to be in a great position to support their teammates.
A lot had to happen on the rest day before the start of Stage 6, however, with the service crews preparing all three Toyota Gazoo Racing Hilux race cars for the final week. This includes a fill strip-down and examination of all critical parts; before re-assembling the cars.

Book Review: Citizen City
June 14, 2016 | By Sean Ruthen
Edited by Robert Enright (Blueimprint Publishers, 2016)
"The projects compiled in this book are the culmination of over 25 years of architectural experimentation, which stand firmly with the advantage of being grounded upon the 50 years of my father's practice. The aspiration of the book is to illustrate, through 10 specific projects, the latent potential within the architect's role to not merely be a tool of others, but instead be seen as an activating force in the creation of our cities."
Gregory Henriquez, from the Preface
There are not a lot of architects out there who can say they have worked on a building that had more than a thousand consultants during its design consultation process, but such was the case for the Woodwards solution that Henriquez Partners Architects forged back in 2010—closing a gaping wound in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside that had affected that neighbourhood since the late, great retailer vacated the site in 1993. Having had the good fortune to interview the late Jim Green from his office overlooking the project's construction site back in 2008, it was he that explained to me the massive undertaking of consulting the project's stakeholders, and how it was the patience and steadfastness of Gregory and his father that kept the project on course.
Of course, Henriquez Partners Architects had, at that time, already the long legacy that Richard Henriquez had established for his firm located for many years in the West Pender Building in downtown Vancouver. Gregory himself admits as much in the opening pages of this new book, Citizen City, that there are not many who can say they have had the good fortune to continue the legacy of a firm founded by one of the nation's most formidable architects. But such was the case for the firm's present director who, not only had to fill some fairly large shoes, but also immediately found himself with one of the city's toughest challenges at the Woodwards site.
To say the outcome was a successful one would be a gross understatement, and as such is the subject of the firm's previous book, Body Heat: The Story of the Woodward's Redevelopment, also edited by Robert Enright, the editor of their latest book here. While the subject of the previous publication was an elucidation of the singular mammoth task of healing that physical and psychological scar in the city, this new book focuses on what the architect and author refers to as the "Children of Woodwards," those projects that, one might say, have only been allowed to happen because of the success of Woodwards.
This new book now calls upon developers, governments, and non-profits to work together to find innovative solutions to the current Metro Vancouver housing affordability crisis, with several examples offered up and featured in the book as current and completed projects by the firm. One such example – the redevelopment of the Central Presbyterian Church in Vancouver's West end – is being reimagined by the area's Presbyterian church and its congregation to realize a multi-family residential development where the market units are subsidized to provide low-income housing. Another featured project in the book is the Westbank development at 6th and Fir Street in Vancouver, in which artists' lofts, alongside a market residential tower, are provided for by a transfer of density from Woodwards.
Book-ended with two thoughtful pieces by Marya Cotton Gould, her opening essay "What is Citizen City?" examines the topic in relation to social sustainability, a notion strongly espoused by HPA. She notes that this issue was first enshrined by the United Nations in 1987, which in addition to addressing environmental sustainability was broadened to includes issues of poverty and hunger. Cultural sustainability, she notes, is a more recent addition to the lexicon, and is seen as an extension of social sustainability addressing issues of cultural preservation, including such notions as a 'sense of place.'
"The vision of a Citizen City is one that transcends the traditional urban goals of economic stability and working infrastructure, and allows for inclusivity of its people, with a variety of economic levels, different cultures, and diverse identities. A Citizen City also provides and encourages open access to democratic and civic engagement, and develops cultural facilities and promotes cultural identity, thus enhancing a sense of community."
The notion is not at all utopian—imagining a world where developer's maintain their profit margin while providing community amenity—for in Metro Vancouver it has been going on since Concord Pacific handed over the Roundhouse Community Centre to the City of Vancouver Parks Board, and is now a mandatory component of large multi-family developments in the form of Community Amenity Contributions (CAC's). Finding a developer who understands the value of giving back to the community, and who sees the CAC as a positive and not a negative has often been a source of friction between the architect, developer, and municipality.
Henriquez Partners Architects has found such a developer client in Ian Gillespie and Westbank, who worked with Gregory to realize Woodwards, and who understands that part of the business-as-usual land lift developers do every day means giving back to the public in the form of an amenity contribution. In Gould's concluding essay, one realizes that to suggest that such a model for development could become the norm is no more far-fetched then that renewable energy and self-driving cars could soon become the norm.
The book also includes a candid interview Gregory, entitled 'Letter To the Young Architect,' in which he riffs on Rainer Maria Rilke, with editor Robert Enright asking him about the firm's philosophy, aspirations, as well as the pitfalls and successes they have had along the way. The interview could have also included his feelings about moving into the office's new subterranean digs below West Georgia Street, with the latest addition to the Vancouver skyline, the new Telus Garden, towering overhead.
Mostly, however, he stresses the need for the architect to be the catalyst to improve our social spaces, as a sort of champion for cultural sustainability, best equipped to bring together the client and community together to talk and responsibly shape our urban environments.
"Prior to Woodward's, I saw developers as the type of people I didn't want to have lunch with, let alone work with. What I didn't understand was the power of the development process to do good in the world if properly harnessed. Through Woodward's I realized that if you have an enlightened civic government; if you have a developer who is willing to do good in exchange for appropriate financial compensation; if you have a community willing to engage in that dialogue; and if you have a project of substance that could actually benefit from these relationships, then something meaningful may happen."
Whether to champion affordable housing or accommodate a company looking for their new corporate headquarters to be built to the most current environmental standards, the projects presented in Citizen City represent some of Henriquez Partners Architect's finest work to date. In addition to providing possible solutions to our current affordable housing crisis, the book also is a timely and meaningful discussion about the role of the client, community, and public as collaborating citizens in this microcosm that is present day Vancouver, and in which the firm is currently based.
Overall, Citizen City and its ten projects are a thoughtful response to the call for shared social responsibility in our cities and how now, perhaps more than ever, the architect's skills are needed to lead the conversation about how we will live and build in them.

Does this book explore the concept of Cohousing in Vancouver? Developers who have a social conscience can contribute their CAC to the common space in these developments as a way of giving back to intentional, multigenerational communities that are striving to reduce social isolation between neighbours.
