Buff community making their way to the top
Filed under Editorials, Sports
The Virgil Henson Activities Center supplies the students of West Texas A&M University with many opportunities and options to exercise and get fit. Whether you want to test your basketball skills on the court, go for a swim in the pool, or make use of the various exercise machines, the opportunities are basically endless. However, there's another activity at the VHAC that's bringing exercise to new heights.
"Coming in there wasn't much of a climbing community here so I've implemented a lot of different things here between the routes and setting the routes, helping bring people in and teaching them about how to climb and what climbing is," said Terra Perez, Assistant Director of Rec Sports.
Perez runs the outdoors trips, clinics, rental center, and manages the climbing tower. She also teaches those involved with the rock climbing community as well as the VHAC staff as much about climbing as possible.
"Coming in and teaching people, watching them progress. Getting 5 feet off the ground and shaking to weeks or months later, flying up the wall…just watching that progress and passion develop is my favorite thing," said Perez.
Those within the community typically practice more than once a week and help each other out as much as possible. Whether it be a new skill or technique, frequent climbers are always trying to improve their climbing methods.
"I've been climbing for 5 years now so I started climbing before I came to WT," said Cam Kelly, sophomore, general studies major and an VHAC staff member. "It was already an interest of mine and this is the only place to climb around here."
Kelly is from Southern California and talked about the lack of places there are to climb here in Texas. Kelly also spoke of his appreciation for the climbing tower at the AC as many universities don't typically have one. WT also has a climbing club that students can join.
"We get together, we climb and we work on skill stuff," said Rigo Baeza, a senior law and economics major and president of the club. "If we're going to go to a competition it's not like a typical sports competition, it's more laid back. There are different kinds of competitions, some are local and some are through the USA Climbing Organization which is super competitive. But, we like to stay more laid back."
Though the club isn't as active, Baeza hopes to compete more and plan more trips as the community grows. There are other opportunities for climbers to go on trips with the WT Outdoors program. Baeza has been climbing for years and was the one who founded the club.
"I actually heard from my supervisor that they had a climbing club at her university when she was an undergrad and that was the real driving force behind it. It seemed like a really cool idea and our community was just starting to grow," said Baeza. "Getting to see it come from nothing to something and seeing that spark and interest in other people is really cool."
As far as students looking to try out the climbing tower out for the first time, they are encouraged to come by and practice. Many that are part of the climbing community are eager for it to grow as more show interest over time.
"In my undergrad, I was into climbing myself and I have been climbing for several years and when I came here it was something I wanted to bring because there wasn't really this community," said Perez. "I love the community that I had and I wanted to bring that for other here."

An unthinkable number of Syrian men, women and children have been forced to watch their homes burn to the ground. Metaphorically and literally, they have seen their houses, communities and nation burn for four long years in a vicious civil war. Many have been forced to flee and are currently waiting in desperate anticipation to be able to return, so that they can rebuild their lives. For now, they persist in a kind of limbo. They have lost that critical foundation which allows them to move forward. So they wait to have a home again, to live again. This is the plight of the refugee.
Today, almost half of the population of Syria is displaced. That is to say, in a country of 22.85 million, 9.5 million no longer have homes. According to Antonio Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, this has been the worst mass exodus since the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Indeed, Syria's civil war is commonly held to be the worst humanitarian crisis of our time.
The Syrian civil war began in 2011 when peaceful protesters, inspired by the dawn of the Arab Spring, took to the streets in opposition to Bashar al-Assad's regime. Government forces immediately responded with violence. Continued clashes led to an armed resistance and eventually, to the formation of a powerful coalition of opposition forces. The United Nations estimates that approximately 220,000 people have been killed since fighting began nearly four years ago.
Both government and opposition forces have been cited for crimes against humanity by groups such as Human Rights Watch and the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect. This includes sexual violence, torture, arbitrary arrest, indiscriminate killings, raids against hospitals and medical personnel, targeted large-scale killing by government forces… even starvation is used as a "deliberate tactic of war by the regime," according to ICRtoP. The worst stories coming out of Syria are the chemical weapons attacks perpetrated by Assad's forces in Damascus and Aleppo, which left hundreds of civilians dead. Syria has become an image of rubble and suffering and death. For the half of the country who have been forced to flee their homes, they've left behind a place that no longer resembles itself. Until the fighting stops and the rebuilding begins, they no longer have a home to return to.
The most commonly cited reason for Syrians fleeing their home is to escape atrocities perpetrated on civilians. But fleeing itself is infinitely dangerous, potentially as high-risk as staying. Families must walk through the night to avoid sniper fire and coming across soldiers, who will abduct their sons to fight for the regime. Displaced persons in general face severely high risk of disease, violence, exposure, and death by leaving the safety of their homes and committing to the most dangerous journey of their lives. Still, the number of displaced Syrians has grown exponentially every year.
The vast majority of Syrians remain internally displaced, and thus less accessible to humanitarian aid. Those who are able to cross the border into neighbouring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, or Egypt are entitled to refugee status under the UNHCR. Of Syria's 9.5 million displaced persons, 3.8 million are refugees.
At the beginning of a crisis, refugee camps are essential to help shelter, feed, and protect the mass influxes of refugees escaping disaster. But over time, a camp can become the stagnant setting of a family waiting to begin their lives again. Indeed, refugee camps are expressly designed as temporary shelters. For Syrians, however, the crisis is entering its fourth year. Many have languished for too long already.
According to the UNHCR, a "protracted" refugee situation is one in which the conflict lasts for at least five years. With two thirds of the world's refugees living in protracted situations, the average time in exile is closer to twenty years. This means that generations of children have grown up in camps all over the world, never having known their homeland, or any kind of home which was not constructed on the foundations of transitory living.
Syrian refugees are already facing obstacles relevant to a protracted situation. Their needs have shifted from food aid and shelter, to the need for employment, self-sufficiency, and dignity. Children must go back to school and adults back to work. Homes must be rebuilt and communities reformed. What refugees face in camps are the ever-worsening conditions of disease, poverty, increased militarization, and violence, including sexual violence, along with high rates of despair, boredom, and low self-worth. Indeed, many Syrians have already left the camps in an attempt to forge a life for themselves in the local community.
In the border towns of Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, Syrian refugees try to make a living. Yet many families end up sleeping in parks and relying on charity for food. Young boys are sent to work to support the family, and refugees are paid measly wages as local employers take advantage of their desperation. Many lack access to basic health care, partly because the country's resources are seriously strained. Public services such as hospitals, electricity, and transportation systems are stretched to the limit, especially in countries like Lebanon, which struggles to support their own population. Cultural clashes and language barriers are significant impediments to refugees' ability to integrate in the local community, not to mention religious and sectarian violence.
Humanitarian actors have attempted to shame the international community into resettling a greater number of refugees. Too often, the burden falls on low to middle income countries in the conflict's surrounding areas to bear the cost of sheltering refugees. Recently, Canada committed to resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next three years. In Sweden, 30,000 Syrians are already making a new home, and Germany has resettled 40,000. But overall, humanitarian actors are disappointed with the international community's "pitiful" response (as put by Amnesty International) to the crisis by offering humanitarian admission to only a small fraction of Syrian refugees.
Moreover, the international community can help bear the cost of refugees by investing in local, long-term development. For example, Syrian refugees currently lack the long-term, preventative health care and health-related education necessary in any settlement situation. Investments in health services will benefit the local area by decreasing disease (and by extension, poverty), as well as by providing increased access to health services for local communities. Investments in education and other public services will likewise contribute to the well-being of both refugees and local groups. Indeed, studies indicated that a policy of local integration – whereby refugees can legally seek employment in the local community – will actually benefit the host country's economy in the long term. Not to mention, policies of local integration, along with campaigns against refugee discrimination, go a long way towards encouraging solidarity, and decreasing the threat of regional and sectarian violence.
No matter the path to forging a new home – either through resettlement in a foreign country, or local integration – the solutions for long-term refugees must be long-term themselves. The international community and development agencies must direct their resources towards providing a space for refugees to make a new home for themselves. This is done through funding for housing, employment opportunities, health services, educational facilities, and so forth. These represent a shift from humanitarian aid, which aims to provide the necessary elements for life, to opportunities for self-sufficiency. As the saying goes: give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. In this story, Syrian refugees already know how to fish. All they need now is access to the river.
Over time, the Syrian story becomes old news. International funding dries up, camps languish, and refugees are forced to rely on diminishing assistance. The way we think of and assist refugees in long-term situations needs to change. Humanitarian assistance that targets local development and community integration can provide long-term benefits for both refugees and local groups. Syrian refugees need the chance to live their lives again. They need to be able to forge new homes. Then, when the war is finally over and it is safe to return, they will know how to rebuild their lives – because they did it once before.

Four Aussies crack Top 50 for the first time in 17 years!
by JOVICA ILIC | VIEW 1482
Australian Tennis
On July 30, 2001, the Australians had four players in the Top 50 for the very last time, led by world number 5 Lleyton Hewitt and world number 9 Patrick Rafter. Hewitt was the most promising youngster at that point but he couldn't achieve more in his career, winning the second and the last Grand Slam crown at Wimbledon 2002, the very last for the Aussies on the men's Tour so far.
Now, more than 17 years later, four players from one of the greatest tennis nations have been ranked in the Top 50 again, with Nick Kyrgios, John Millman, Alex de Minaur and Matthew Ebden finding their place in the elite group.
None of them is ranked inside the Top 25, though, with Nick Kyrgios playing just 34 matches so far in 2018 after struggling with right elbow and hip injuries that forced him to skip many tournaments and prevent him from showing his best tennis in those events that he entered.
Nick had opened the season with a title in Brisbane, losing in the fourth round of the Australian Open to Grigor Dimitrov before playing just two tournaments until the grass season. There, he lost two tight semi-final matches in Stuttgart and Queen's to Roger Federer and Marin Cilic and his most recent defeat came against Federer in the third round of the US Open.
In the past few weeks, Nick was on the worst ranking position in two and a half years and he will try to bounce back in the next months and finish the season in the Top 20 where he certainly belongs when he is at his best.
The 29-year-old John Millman is on a career-high ranking after a brilliant run at the US Open that brought him the win over Roger Federer before Novak Djokovic halted him in the quarter-final. In August 2017, John was ranked outside the Top 200, missing all the action until the end of May due to a torn tendon in the groin that required a surgery.
He managed to overcome all the difficulties and enter the Top 40 for the first time in his career, seeking more good results in the rest of the season. The 19-year-old Alex de Minaur is ranked just behind Millman and he is one of the most promising teens in the world, winning 18 ATP matches so far in 2018.
De Minaur played in the finals of Sydney and Washington and he reached the third round at Wimbledon and the US Open, losing in a thriller against Marin Cilic after four hours. Alex has to defend just 30 points by the end of the season and he can only go upwards through the list in the remaining events of the year.
The 30-year-old Matthew Ebden is another player who struggled with injuries in the past but it is all behind him now, playing a steady season to settle into the Top 50. Matthew had a great grass season, scoring seven ATP wins and losing in the final of Surbiton Challenger to de Minaur.
He also reached the semi-final in Atlanta, taking a set away from John Isner, followed by one win at the US Open as well. They are currently the best that Australia has to offer in men's tennis, with Jason Kubler, Jordan Thompson and Bernard Tomic completing the Top 150 list.

Q: nested dictionary from lists I have three lists (of lists) - index_1, index_2 and index_3. I want to combine them to make a nested dictionary. The keys of the top level of the dictionary should be index_1 = ['item1','item2','item3']. The second level should be keyed by index_2 (which has 3 elements corresponding to 'item1', 'item2', and 'item3'). The values in the second level of the dictionary should contain values and be stored in a list as in index_3.
I am a bit stuck and think I am creating overly complicated loops shown below. Any comments would be great.
# input lists
index_1 = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3']
index_2 = [['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f'], ['g', 'h', 'i']]
index_3 = [[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [99, 100], [0, 1, 2]]

# desired output
my_dict = {'item1' : {'a' : [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 'b' : [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 'c' : [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]},
           'item2' : {'d' : [99, 100], 'e' : [99, 100], 'f' : [99, 100]},
           'item3' : {'g' : [0, 1, 2], 'h' : [0, 1, 2], 'i' : [0, 1, 2]}}

# my loop that didnt work
d = defaultdict(defaultdict)
for i in range(len(index_1)):
    for x, y, z in zip([index_1[i]], [index_2[i]], [index_3[i]]):
        d[x][y] = [z]

A: You can step along multiple lists in lockstep with zip, e.g.,
zip(index_1, index_2, index_3)

At each step, the first element is the key, and the next ones make the nested dictionary. The nested dictionary can be made by dict.fromkeys as long as you're ok with having the same reference in all the values:
d = {}
for k, nk, nv in zip(index_1, index_2, index_3):
    d[k] = dict.fromkeys(nk, nv)

Otherwise, you need to make a new list for each element:
d = {}
for k, nk, nv in zip(index_1, index_2, index_3):
    d[k] = {kk: list(nv) for kk in nk}

list(nv), nv[:] and nv.copy() are all idiomatic, and a great case of "exceptions prove the rule" for python's ideal of having one right way to do things.
You can now simplify the whole thing into a nested dictionary comprehension:
d = {k: {kk: list(nv) for kk in nk} for k, nk, nv in zip(index_1, index_2, index_3)}

A: You don't need defaultdict or that extra loop, you can just zip them together like below:
index_1 = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3']
index_2 = [['a','b','c'], ['d','e','f'], ['g','h','i']]
index_3 = [[0,1,2,3,4],[99,100], [0,1,2]]

dic = {}
for x, y, z in zip(index_1, index_2, index_3):
    dic[x] = {}
    for k in y:
        dic[x][k] = z[:]

The z[:] is to ensure a new list is created and the same reference isn't reused for all keys.

This code will still work if you want to use dic = defaultdict(defaultdict), the benefit being you can omit dic[x] = {} from your loop. It may make more sense to go with defaultdict(dict) there though, since there's no benefit to the nested ones being a defaultdict.

A: You can do:
index_1 = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3']
index_2 = [['a','b','c'], ['d','e','f'], ['g','h','i']]
index_3 = [[0,1,2,3,4],[99,100], [0,1,2]]

vals=zip(index_2, index_3)
di={}
for k1 in index_1:
    ct=next(vals)
    di[k1]={k:ct[1] for k in ct[0]}

If you want the individual lists inside to be copies, do:
di[k1]={k:list(ct[1]) for k in ct[0]}

Either case:
>>> di
{'item1': {'a': [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 'b': [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], 'c': [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]}, 'item2': {'d': [99, 100], 'e': [99, 100], 'f': [99, 100]}, 'item3': {'g': [0, 1, 2], 'h': [0, 1, 2], 'i': [0, 1, 2]}}

Given your example output:
>>> di==my_dict
True

Address at the 2019 Athenagoras Human Rights Award Honoring His Beatitude Epiphaniy Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine
Print Address at the 2019 Athenagoras Human Rights Award Honoring His Beatitude Epiphaniy Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine
New York Midtown Hilton
Your Beatitude Metropolitan Epiphaniy of Kyiv and All Ukraine,
Most Reverend Metropolitans and Hierarchs,
Beloved Clergy and Presbyteres of our Church,
Honorable Members of the Diplomatic Corps,
Esteemed Archons and Archons-elect,
Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
Tonight we celebrate not only your person, Your Beatitude, but we celebrate as well the Pious and Faithful People of Ukraine, whose aspirations for religious independence and control over their own future and spiritual destiny were realized by the loving, pastoral, and indeed maternal care of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the Holy and Sacred Synod of Constantinople.
Your Beatitude, the canonical restoration of a major portion of the Orthodox Christians in Ukraine, and the subsequent establishment of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine – both by its own internal deliberations that elected you as its Primate, and the ultimate Tomos of Autocephaly granted by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, is an accomplishment of the highest order. For this you deserve our heartfelt congratulations and we proclaim you ΑΞΙΟΣ!
From my own personal experience over ten years ago in Ukraine as the Chief Secretary of the Patriarchal Synod, I witnessed firsthand the complexities and exigencies that created the causes and conditions which prompted the canonical acts and processes, resulting in the formation and canonization of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine. It was a process fraught with difficulties at every turn, but the eventual solution that you helped to bring about, Your Beatitude, reflected the historical reality of the relationship between Kyiv and Constantinople.
As I wrote in my recent book "The Ecumenical Patriarch in Ukraine":
The spiritual bonds that yoke the Metropolis of Kiev with Constantinople and the Ecumenical Patriarchate stem from the indisputable fact that Constantinople is the mother who gave birth to an entire nation in Christ – Rus of Kiev, the Ukrainians of today.
Despite the pens that would re-write history, we know very well from which πηγή the Ukrainian Church sprang – the Life-Giving Fountain of the Queens of Cities, Constantinople – and how it is that Kyiv is the mother of Moscow, and not the reverse! Moreover, we know that the Autocephaly was always received from Constantinople, for those Local Churches that came into existence in the Second Millennium of our Faith. These are historical facts that cannot be denied, except by those who choose to willfully live in denial. The Autocephaly has yet to be accepted by the majority of Local Churches, but these delays have ever been. There are enough examples of individualized circumstances where a Local Church has forestalled the Ecumenical Throne. As the Mothers in this room know very well, birthgiving is not an easy matter, and comes with pain and great discomfort, but as our Lord Jesus Christ said of His own Passion:
When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her hour has come. But when she has brought forth the child, she no longer remembers her distress because of her joy that a human being is born into the world.(John 16:21)
As the first Primate of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, Your Beatitude knows both the pain of the birth and the joy of the arrival of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine into the world. You bear the weighty and grave responsibilities of building its future and the future of your pious nation, a nation that is still fighting for its freedom from external pressures, pressures that affect the many other Ukrainian Faithful who are still under the Moscow Patriarchate. This is going to be a long journey, as there are millions of lives in the balance and it will require the wisdom, patience, and dedication that you have shown thus far. Please know, Your Beatitude, that you will have our continued support here in the United States, and wherever the Ecumenical Patriarchate ministers throughout the world, you will know the support of the Mother Church.
Take courage from the love and esteem in which we hold you, and from the support of the Mother Church of Constantinople that honors you this evening with the Patriarch Athenagoras Human Rights Award. You bear the responsibility for the Local Church of Ukraine as its Primate. Emulate the late Patriarch Athenagoras in your outreach and embrace of everyone. We know that you will uphold the human rights of all Ukrainians, whether they are of your flock or not, because the human rights of any given person are the human rights of every person.
Your Beatitude, we all wish you every success and advancement in your mission of peace, unity, and hope for the future.
ΠΟΛΛΑ ΤΑ ΕΤΗ ΣΟΥ!

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Arming school teachers is a hard subject to discuss. Last week I took a training class where school staff learned to protect students from an armed attacker. What these teachers did was extraordinary. As you would expect, school staff take their students safety very seriously. The teachers want to protect "their kids". They worked hard to put their bodies between a bullet and someone else's children. They did an amazing job.
Those teachers are not the caricatures I remember from my childhood. Our distorted childhood memories are one of the largest issues we face when we talk about arming school staff.
This may come as a surprise, but the world has changed since we were kids. We have changed as well. Nowhere is that more apparent than when we visit our child's school. We've grown up, and we don't fit in those little desks anymore. We will also find that school teachers are remarkably articulate even though they once spoke to us in the short and simple sentences that a child can understand. We didn't know this when we were young, but teachers have the full range of human reactions.
Let's look at defending our kids from an adult perspective. We want school staff to protect our children. Lots of us have a gun so we can protect our kids when they are with us. Teachers feel the same way, and they want the same chance to survive that we have. Bring your adult experience and let's look at what school staff do to protect our children.
We can own a firearm if we're not a felon or other prohibited person. It isn't that hard to buy a gun. The kid behind the counter at your local sporting goods store knows how to process the paperwork. Fortunately, school staff are required to have FBI background checks since they are around children. That means we have certified good guys and good gals around our kids, so these teachers could probably buy a gun.
In the training programs I've studied, armed school staff already have their concealed carry permits.Concealed carry training means you are safe enough to go armed in public. For the concealed carry holder, a gun is a defensive tool that allows them and their family to escape from a criminal.
In the unlikely event that an armed teacher has to defend their kids, then they have to close with and stop the murderer before another child or staff member is hurt.
That isn't how most of us are trained. The largest program for training armed school staff has a curriculum that bridges the gap between being a gun owner and being an armed defender. This is what these teachers had to do.
Pass the required background checks and buy a firearm that fit them.
Pass a concealed carry course to receive their state carry license.
Take a class to review firearms safety and learn to present a gun from a concealed holster.
Learn to be effective with a firearm. Qualify for speed and accuracy in shooting tests that exceed the state requirements for law enforcement officers. Learn tactical casualty care. Pass force-on-force exercises where you are defending other people.
Attend a refresher course that develops consistent responses to stressful situations. This includes more firearms handling, more hand-to-hand defense, and more emergency medical care.
Some of these teachers also conduct practice drills in their schools with local deputies and medical responders.
I watched my classmates work their way through these difficult exercises. These are not the teachers I remembered from when I was a child.
I watched my classmates work their way through these difficult exercises. These are not the teachers I remembered from when I was a child. These teachers are both reticent to use violence and committed to the safety of their students. They practiced that delicate balance and are exactly the people I want to protect my children.
If there is a test, I'm betting on them to pass.
I teach. I'm also an instructor and former LEO trained in ASR. Give me something besides a baseball bat to protect my students.
Amen. Nice article that drives home the NRA motto that it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. My, how teachers have changed over the years. I'm surprised that most of todays 'teachers' are nothing more than leftist trained shills. Where did they get the 'common sense' teachers to attend the class? Did they promise them the chance to live thru a school shooting, or are there still some teachers who believe in our constitution? Either way, until the lefty's push to disarm this country are stopped, by a bullet if needed, any training along this line is a fantastic idea. Perhaps these teachers can return to school and let the others know that a box of rocks in the classroom is not the answer.
Rob, thank you for this great article. It helps me to better understand the process these teachers face to be part of the defense against violence in our schools. It would seem that the idea of armed and trained teachers is such a logical part of the solution to school shootings. The truth is that many who claim to want to reduce school shootings are really more interested in using that campaign as a way to confiscate guns from citizens. We must support arming teachers as a primary component of school safety. It is obvious that those teachers who choose to carry in the classroom are committed in their efforts.
I enjoy your podcast Self Defense Gun Stories. It is a bonus to read your articles as well.

Dry with a chance of snow from the weekend
By Henri on 16 December 2020 · 0
The sun comes out in Saint-Véran after a fresh layer of snow
The day before yesterday I mentioned the possible precipitation during the weekend, but even today there is still a lot of uncertainty. This winter, unfortunately, we are not only dealing with uncertain weather maps, but pretty much everything is uncertain. When will the lifts open? When will we be able to travel again? Let's hope that the long wait is rewarded and that we can still enjoy some great snow this season. One thing is certain: the wePowder forecasts will continue as usual!
In Vars-Risoul the webcams are mouth-watering
Last night's Meteofrance precipitation radar clearly showing that the most intensive precipitation was west of the French Alps
Precipitation for the Western Alps yesterday
As expected, it has snowed about 20 to 30 centimeters in the higher parts of the Écrins in the last 24 hours. In the other parts of the French Alps, it was around 5 to 15 centimeters. This can easily be explained by a radar image of Meteofrance from last night. The precipitation area with the greatest intensity was, as expected, for a long time just west of the Alps, which meant that the amounts of fresh snow here were limited.
Last night, some of this precipitation moved towards Lombardy and South Tyrol under the influence of the southwest current. Again, this does not produce large quantities of snow, I expect a maximum of 5 centimeters here, but it does make for a cloudy start to the day.
Livigno also got some snow last night
The inversion is clearly visible in Obervellach (Carinthia). Despite the warm southwestern high current, it's freezing in the valley all day long and the trees are still white
Sun coming out from the west
The sun comes out quickly from the west today, but it can remain cloudy for a while in the Eastern Alps. The moist south-westerly current can temporarily cause some precipitation, which in particular in Osttirol and Carinthia can lead to freezing ice due to the inversion present. While warm air has already poured in at altitude, "Dauerfrost" still reigns here in many valleys.
Dry and mild
Under the influence of the warm Mediterranean Sea, there may still be some precipitation in the French Alps tomorrow, but even then it seems that the showers more follow the line Montpellier - Lyon, so that most French areas will keep it dry (and sunny) . For the rest of the Alps I don't expect any precipitation anyway and it will be quite sunny except for low-hanging clouds in some valleys. Due to the southwestern supply of warm air, it remains very mild at altitude. On Friday little changes in the weather situation and it remains sunny and warm.
The large-scale pressure distribution during the weekend. An occlusion front approaches the Alps from the west
A toned front from the west will bring in colder air in the course of Sunday
Significant precipitation during the weekend?
What about the precipitation during the weekend I mentioned the day before yesterday? On Saturday, a depression is approaching from the Atlantic Ocean that tries to start a westerly current. A toned occlusion front is sent from the west towards the Alps, but what exactly it will bring next is unfortunately still not entirely clear. The European model is on 'team precipitation', but the GFS model is leaving that precipation room through the backdoor. Our forecast also shows that little snow of any significance is expected.
This precipitation is mainly caused by the southern current over the Mediterranean Sea, which (again) picks up quite a bit of moisture and hits the Alps. The French Southern Alps and Southern Piedmont in particular can benefit from this with possibly 20 to 40 centimeters of fresh snow above 2000 meters, but as mentioned earlier these developments are still uncertain. The front from the west appears to be reaching the Alps on Sunday, causing the snow line to drop. Initially it is about 2000 meters, but will drop to well below 1500 meters in the course of Sunday. Because the developments during the weekend are still quite uncertain, there is no point in looking any further. More in the next forecast!


The Panola College Fillies kicked off their season with a sweep of North Lake College (25-17, 25-20, 25-21) in Arthur Johnson Gym. The Fillies were paced offensively by the sophomore middle blocker duo of Daphinie Correa and Thaynara Godoi. Correa led the way with 8 kills and assisted on 5 blocks, Godoi added 6 kills of her own, and freshman outside Sabrina de Lima chipped in 5 kills. Sophomore setter Molly Harris dished out 18 assists with 6 digs, while freshman setter Bri McGown added 10 assists and 4 service aces in her Fillies debut. Sophomore libero Hannah Ramirez anchored the floor defense with 12 digs.
Panola will return to action tomorrow at the NMMI Classic in Roswell, New Mexico against Yavapai College at 3 pm.


A great way to enhance photos artistically with very little effort but great results.
I found this site a few years ago, I absolutely love it. I have had pictures transferred to canvas, I have mounted prints on wood. worth every penny for a subscription!
Too many useless filters for the price!! App crashes for no reason! Too much money for styles that all look the same and their layout is all jumbled up. Look for another app that is less complicated.
I used to love this app, but they took filter styles I'd *already* downloaded and put them behind a paywall. That's one of the most infuriating things an app can do. I very rarely pay for apps, but I actually like Prisma so much that I'd be willing to pay a few dollars for it. But paying $20/year for a subscription is crazily out of sync with the market, especially given that the app is frequently buggy and often crashes. Truly a disappointing and obnoxious monetization move.
I've been using this app for years, but after upgrading to an iPhone X the app gave me a choice of a free trial, monthly subscription or yearly subscription. I'm happy for the developers success, but I am not ok with paying for an app I've had and used regularly (and endorsed often) without subscription for years. 3 stars for the years I used.
This is seriously the best photo effects app I have on my phone. They are so generous with their free effects that it makes me want to purchase the others. And all the effects are awesome, imo. Good stuff!

– Feedom Freedom was part of a collective effort to organize a free concert on Manistique this past Saturday the 13th. The event gave people a vision of neighborhood organizing and a belief in grassroots folks creating the beloved community.
I witnessed musicians freely give their talents to assist and support the defense of Lela Whitfield in her fight against eviction foreclosure. The grassroots efforts were applauded and supported. At the height of the event there were 200 people in attendance. The musical talents ranged from hip- hop to classical with some bluegrass funk as well. Children played violins and a drum band marched in.
One young mc performed his talent using language that he thought was what he needed to say to "make it" in the music business. One woman in the audience got upset and expressed her opposition. This was understandable but in our experience, anger ad walking away only reinforces separation between adults and youth. We talked with the young mc and asked him to think about intentional messages of inclusion for everyone in the audience. We asked him to think about the impact of his words. We are trying to find ways to offer loving guidance to our youth by supporting their courage to stand in front of a crowd and perform. At the same time, we want to help young people think about other people and their receiving our messages. The crowd was a mix of every age, ethnicity and faith. How do we include all while still being true to our message?
I along with many of the artist shared the message of being visionary while resisting. Lela Whitfield should remain in her home that her mother left for her. She should be able to leave this to her son and granddaughter.
Tom Barrow, a man I voted for every time he ran for public office, was in attendance and expressed the need for neighborhood organizing! The Pastor or the neighborhood church gave support and expressed gratitude for community coming together. Children played and mingled with elders in a safe, productive environment. We shared food, music, laughter and hope.
We look forward to follow up events and want all supporters for Lela to go to the Detroit Eviction Defense web site to see how they can provide assistance to keep Lela in her home.
Collectively we can create the neighborhoods we want to live. A collective and responsible vision is in direct contradiction to individualism and materialism. Many folks do not have income or jobs and are relying on one another. It feels good to have neighbors and friends that support one another during difficult times.
Feedom Freedom Growers is an urban garden that services the members of our community with cooking demonstration, art for children and early childhood garden learn & play programs as well as hosting youth led roundtable discussion.

Over the last year, Zak Rosen and Andrea Claire Maio have been following students and educators at the James and Grace Lee Boggs School. Maio and Rosen have done pieces in the series about control in the classroom, two young students at the Boggs School who are best friends, and about making school more human.
For the series' last piece, Maio focused on the Principal of the Boggs School, Julia Putnam — a cornerstone of the school.
Putnam met Grace Lee Boggs, the school's namesake, when Putnam was 16 years old.
"I know how skeptical Grace has been about starting a school, and whether or not that was the most revolutionary or the most strategic thing to do in terms of creating real change," Putnam said.

The discovery was made at around 2.20pm on Sunday 10th January by members of Clare Civil Defence, who had been searching for 65-year-old Michael Vaughan.
Mr Vaughan, who lived alone at Moyree near Ruan, was last seen in Ennis at lunch time on Wednesday and was reported missing on Friday when his family became concerned for his wellbeing.
Gardaí and members of Clare Civil Defence began a local search on Friday night, concentrating on lands and buildings around Mr Vaughan's home. It's understood the missing man's car and mobile phone were found at the house.
Early yesterday, the search was further expanded to cover surrounding properties, outbuildings and hundreds of acres of farmland.
Divers located a man's body on flooded lands a short distance from Mr Vaughan's home. The body was removed to University Hospital Limerick where a post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out.

\subsection{Activation Sparsity in Neural Networks}
\textbf{Exploiting Sparsity.} In the modern deep learning frameworks (i.e. PyTorch and TensorFlow), the input activation for each layer is stored during the forward pass, then those activations are used for calculating the gradients during the backward pass.
Storing the activations for all the layers creates a huge memory footprint during the training process as illustrated earlier in Figure \ref{memory_components_different_models}.
However, most of modern deep learning models use the rectified linear activation function (ReLU) \cite{relu}.
Using ReLU activation functions results in sparse activations in the successive layers.
We can leverage this sparsity to compress the activations, and hence reduce the memory footprint for training.

In Figure \ref{activations_per_layer_memory_analysis}, we analyze the contribution of the activations of various layers types (e.g. Convolution, Batch Normalization, Max Pooling) to the memory footprint, as well as the average activation sparsity for those layer types throughout the whole models.
Figures \ref{resnet_memory_components} and \ref{alexnet_memory_components} shows that the memory used to store the activations of the different layers types in ResNet-50 and AlexNet respectively.
For ResNet-50, we notice that the memory used to store the convolution and the batch normalization activations dominates the memory used by the other layers.
While for AlexNet, the convolution and the max pooling layers activations dominate the memory.
That means that we should direct our efforts towards reducing the memory used to store the activations of those three layers (convolution, batch normalization, max pooling).

\begin{figure}[t!]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{figs/resnet101_activations_hist.pdf}
    \belowcaptionskip -10 pt
    \caption{Activations values histogram for ResNet.}
    \label{fig:activations-histogram}
\end{figure}

From Figure \ref{activations_per_layer_memory_analysis}, we can also notice that the activations sparsity is relatively high for the convolution and the max pooling layers.
However, it is not a surprise that the activations sparsity for the batch normalization layer is very low.
That means that using a sparse representation for the batch normalization activations will not offer any reduction in the memory footprint.
To overcome this problem, we apply the double mask batch normalization introduced by Lieu \textit{et al.} \cite{dynamic}.
The idea is to use the sparse pattern of the the inputs to the normalization layer as a mask to apply for its outputs.
In other words, it propagates sparsity through the batch normalization layer and helps our method reduce more memory.

Moreover, we analyze the activation values throughout the whole network.
Figure \ref{fig:activations-histogram} shows a histogram of the activation values for all the layers of a pre-trained ResNet model.
We notice that more that 70\% of the activations are close to zero.
This implies that we can neglect storing those activations (i.e. we can assume that they are zeros), and hence increase the activations sparsity which would further increase the gain from our compression methodology.

\textbf{Memory vs. Matrix Operations.}
In server-grade model training, a large GPU memory can accommodate model parameters as well as activations calculated during the forward pass.
On edge devices, memory is not only a scarce resource, but may also be shared between the main CPU and the GPU (if exists).
For example, the Nvidia Jetson Nano board houses an ARM Cortex-A57 MPCore processor that shares a 4GB memory with a Maxwell-based GPU that performs up to 4 floating-point operations per clock cycle \cite{arm_isa}.
External memory access has an interrupt latency of at least 200 clock cycles assuming zero wait state \cite{arm_memory_latency} \--- a figure that is empirically higher depending on the system load and the cache status.
Due to the limited memory available, convolution activations from earlier layers will be offloaded to disk (using virtual memory pages), since they are the least recently used.
If no swap memory is available, the training process will be killed by the operating system.

Building on the research done on checkpointing (where activations are not saved at all; instead re-calculated), we propose to trade expensive matrix multiplications for cheaper memory operations.
This trade-off is analogous to \textit{Memoization} in algorithmic contexts \cite{bellman1957dynamic}.
In essence, we take advantage of sparsity and save input activations in a compressed format that leaves more memory for the following dense operations to be performed.
Although the compression and decompression processes add operations to the training loop, they save the disk access time resulting from memory swapping.

    \caption{Compressing dense activations in a bitmap.}
    \label{fig:bitmap-format}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Sparse Bitmap Format}
\textbf{Computation Graphs.}
Modern deep learning frameworks (e.g. Tensorflow \cite{abadi2016tensorflow} and PyTorch \cite{paszke2019pytorch}) have offered an adequate level of abstraction for training deep learning models.
A developer can now imperatively describe the architecture of their neural network, and the framework takes care of the compiling code to lower-level constructs that work efficiently with different hardware interfaces (especially GPUs).
To make this happen seamlessly, these framework construct \textit{a computation graph} that can be used to track and execute the necessary elements of the backpropagation algorithm (in a process called auto-differentiation \cite{paszke2017automatic}).
The computation graph can be either static or dynamic.
In a static computation graph, the neural network is constructed once in the beginning, and then gets attached to a training session.
In this case, memory occupied by the sizes of its tensors (i.e. matrices) is reserved in the beginning.
On the other hand, dynamic computation graphs get built dynamically, reserving memory for tensors immediately after declaring them, and releasing them when they go out of scope.
This distinction is important in our work, since there is no memory management APIs offered by these frameworks in their Python interfaces.
Optimizing memory has to be implemented at the lower level (using C++), which we describe later in Section \ref{sec_experiments}.

\textbf{Bitmap Format. }
As discussed in Section \ref{sec_relatedwork}, there is a plethora of sparse matrix representation formats.
These formats are mainly designed for both storage and operations.
In other words, mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, and inverse are defined and computationally efficient.
We adopt a bitmap format that is optimal for storage as shown in Figure \ref{fig:bitmap-format}.
During the forward pass, input activations for a given layer is compressed into: (i) a vector containing the non-zero elements, and (ii) a bitmap that sets a bit to 1 at the indices of the non-zero elements.
In the backward pass, these activations are decompressed in order to calculate the gradients with respect to the activations as part of the backpropagation algorithm.
The bitmap format represents the minimum perceivable memory required to store the information in a matrix; that is non-zero elements (represented as half-, single- or double-precision) and a single bit for each element index.
We denote the memory footprint as $M_d$ and $M_b$ for stashing activations in a dense format and bitmap format respectively.
For single-precision (FP32), the memory footprint (in bytes) would be calculated as:

\begin{center}
    $M_d$ = $4 \times$ total activations \\
    $M_b$ = $4 \times$ non-zero activations + (1/8) $\times$ total activations
\end{center}

We also compare the bitmap format with the COO format, which represents indices as either integers (4 bytes) or longs (8 bytes).
We denote the memory footprint (in bytes) of the COO format as $M_c$, and it can be calculated as:

\begin{algorithm}[t!]
    \small

    \SetKwInOut{Input}{Input}
    \SetKwInOut{Output}{Output}
    \Input{Dense Activation Matrix ($T$)}
    \Output{Bitmap Matrix ($B$)}
    $B$.shape = $T$.shape  // deep copy \\
    Flatten $T$ \\
    \For{$i \; in \; 0, .., length(T)$}{
        \eIf{$T[i] == 0$}{
            Push $0$ bit to $B$.bitmap
        }
        {
            Push $T[i]$ to $B$.values \\
            Push $1$ bit to $B$.bitmap
        }
    }
    delete $T$  // free dense memory
    \caption{Dense to Bitmap Matrix Compression}
    \label{alg:tobitmap}
\end{algorithm}

\begin{algorithm}[t!]
    \small
    \SetKwBlock{Begin}{begin}{end}
    \SetKwInOut{Input}{Input}
    \SetKwInOut{Output}{Output}
    \Input{Bitmap Matrix ($B$)}
    \Output{Dense Activation Matrix ($T$)}
    Construct 1-dimensional $T$; initialize $j = 0$ \\
    \For{$i \; in \; 0, .., length(B)$.bitmap}{
        \eIf{$B$.bitmap[i] is set}{
            Push $B$.values[j] to $T$; increment j \\
        }
        {
            Push $0.0$ to $T$  // half-, single- or double-precision
        }
    }
    reshape $T$ to $B$.shape \\
    delete $B$  // free bitmap memory
    \caption{Bitmap to Dense Matrix Decompression}
    \label{alg:todense}
\end{algorithm}

\begin{center}
    $M_c$ = $(4 + [4|8] \times$ num-dimensions $) \times$ non-zero activations
\end{center}
\noindent where $4$ is the size of single-precision for saving the activation values, and $[4|8]$ are the sizes for either integer or long indices.
For example, PyTorch and Tensorflow use long indices by default in their COO implementations.
Figure \ref{fig:sparse-matrices-memory-footprint} shows that the COO format is only efficient if the activations have a sparsity of at least 80\% (~20\% non-zero activations).
We observe that the dense representation consistently maintains a low memory footprint.
However, the proposed sparse bitmap format can reduce the memory footprint even if the activations matrix has low sparsity.
Unlike other sparse matrix formats, the sparse bitmap format is used for stashing the activations until they are needed in the backward pass, and not for directly operating on them (e.g. multiplication).

\subsection{Sparse Bitmap Compression Algorithm}
In order to achieve empirical memory reductions, our algorithm avoids copying matrices in function calls.
Compressing a dense matrix to a bitmap matrix is outlined in Algorithm \ref{alg:tobitmap}.
We first start by keeping a copy of the shape (dimension sizes) of the original matrix.
Operating on a vector is also necessary to avoid complex index resolution operations, so we flatten the dense matrix.
This is an in-place operation that does not move values to different memory locations.
Lines 3 to 10 scans the vector, constructing the bitmap and stashing the non-zero elements.
Finally, line 11 frees the memory used by the dense matrix to be used in the subsequent layers.
Algorithm \ref{alg:todense} performs the opposite operation in the backward pass.
In particular, it maps the non-zero elements to a dense vector matching the bitmap, and then reshapes the data (in-place) according to the previously saved shape.

Note that both algorithms are linear runtime.
They take $O(n)$ time, where $n$ is the total number of activations in a matrix.
In the next section, we provide additional implementation details for a modern deep learning framework.

Q: how to open splash screen on button click android before opening new activity? In the Main Activity I have  Buttons. Now i want a splash screen to be shown before the second activity opens when any of the button is clicked.. found about splash screen shown before mainactivity but didnt find anything about splash screen on button click before  second activity opens!! help needed
This my Main Activity layout I want to open a splash screen before any of 2nd activity begins.

A: You have to open Splash Screen first
Intent intent=new Intent("this,Splash.class");
startActivity(intent);

Then you can start second activity from Splash Screen.
This piece of code should be placed into splash.java.
Intent intent=new Intent("np.edu.thebritishcollege.thebritishcollege.newsactivity"); startActivity(intent);


It is a double-sided timing belt with traction ribs on both sides. Its 1" wide and 81 3/4" length (longest option). Seems like an interesting option similar to the other rubber track examples.
One unknown is how to mate this type of track with pully or bicycle rim.

Police in the lakeshore district of Nkhotakota are keeping in custody three suspects for allegedly murdering Edward Gawaundi, 50, in the district.
The suspects are Chancy Chunga aged 18, Edrisa Banda (17) and Lamsy Manda (32).
The incident occurred on the night of 18 September in Tandwe village in the area of senior chief Malengachanzi in the district.
According to Nkhotakota Police Deputy Spokesperson Paul Malimwe, on the fateful day Gawaundi was coming from a drinking spree within the village and on his way home was assaulted by the assailants in question.
Malimwe said that the assault suggested the assailants were probably equipped with sharp materials as after being assaulted the victim sustained deep multiple cuts on the head.
"Well-wishers who found him in a dying state, rushed him to Nkhotakota district hospital where he died while receiving treatment," he said.
Postmortem results indicated death was due to severe head injuries and loose trachea secondary to assault.
Police conducted the investigations that led to the arrest of one of the assailants Chancy Chunga on the night of October 04, 2018.
Upon being interviewed, he revealed that on the material day he was with Edrisa Banda and Lamsy Manda who were apprehended the same night.
The suspects, will appear before the court of law soon to answer murder charge contravening section 209 of the penal code.
The deceased hailed from Tandwe village in the area of senior chief Malengachanzi in Nkhotakota district.

Explained: What are hydrogen cars and how do they work?
By Swansway Motor Group 06-10-2018
Hydrogen-powered cars, however, are a slightly rarer sight. The technology they use is in its relative infancy, which means not a lot is known about how they work and the benefits they bring. We're going to find out.
Some alternatively-fuelled power options are well-known now.
Electric cars, for instance, are gaining popularity and are becoming a common sight on UK roads, especially within cities.
Hydrogen-powered cars, however, are a slightly rarer sight.
The technology they use is in its relative infancy, which means not a lot is known about how they work and the benefits they bring. We're going to find out.
First of all, just how do hydrogen cars work? Well, in fuel cell cars, power is generated by reacting hydrogen with oxygen.
The energy that comes from this reaction is then stored in the car's batteries. The electricity stored here then runs the electric motors which then power the wheels.
It's better to think of a hydrogen car as an electric vehicle that is able to charge itself up. At higher speeds, the car can use its supply of hydrogen to directly power the motor, instead of recharging the car's onboard batteries.
The benefit of this? Hydrogen isn't used as an existing energy source, like fossil fuels. Because hydrogen is in such abundance in our atmosphere, there's a plentiful supply, too.
The best part? The only thing it emits is water. It also takes a matter of minutes to refill a hydrogen car, compared to several hours to charge one powered by electricity alone.
However, there are a few drawbacks. Hydrogen, though plentiful in our atmosphere, is incredibly difficult to produce.
Although there's lots of it about, it's most frequently found in compounds such as water – which makes it difficult to separate.
Because of the huge amount of energy needed to isolate the hydrogen, fossil fuels are required – which goes against the efficiency of the car.
Environmentally-friendly ways of producing hydrogen do exist, but they're expensive and can't create it in great enough quantities to be useful. So the only easy way of producing hydrogen is with fossil fuels.
There are other drawbacks, too. Currently, there are only two hydrogen cars on sale in the UK today – the Hyundai ix35 and the Toyota Mirai.
Choice of cars, therefore, is somewhat limited. Also, because hydrogen needs to be contained securely and at high pressure, these cars need to carry large tanks, which take up quite a lot of space inside the car.
You'll also have to ensure that you're within range of a hydrogen filling station. Currently, there are just eight filling stations in the UK – with three located in the London area alone.
Though more are planned, for now it means that you'll have to be conscious of how far you need to travel to fill up.
Lastly, and quite importantly, the cars are quite expensive. The ix35 costs from £53,105, while the Mirai commands more of a premium at £63,100. Filling them up will cost around £65, and you'll get similar fuel economy figures to a regular diesel car.
For now, hydrogen cars are slightly hampered by a lack of infrastructure and the cost of creating their fuel in the first place.
However, with more research into them and a lowering of price, hydrogen cars may yet turn out to be the smart choice for those looking to get around in the most economical fashion possible.

Two years of Boris Biking - where would Londoners be without their ubiquitous big blue bicyles?
It's a very happy birthday to London's Boris Bike system as our famous blue bicycles turn two years old. Just how much have the Canadian imports become an ubiquitous sight on our streets and what would London do without them?
Casting our minds back it seems ridiculous now to remember the hysterical level of hand-ringing that accompanied the introduction of the scheme. Would bat-like cyclists come screaming out of one way roads the wrong way? Would inexperienced cyclists be throwing themselves in to the path of hapless, innocent motorists (possibly on purpose)?! Would bikes crash the economy?! Worries were, of course, unfounded. In two short years (and goodness, doesn't time fly when we are having fun?) some ten million journeys have been made on the bikes. Last week alone nearly a quarter of a million journeys were made, with a record 47,000 journeys made last Friday, the 27th July. The scheme has expanded from starting out with 5,000 bikes to 7,500 bikes today with docking stations covering a 21km square area from West London to Tower Hamlets in the East. Proposals are currently on the table to expand the scheme further next year to include a larger part of south London.
Of course, the Barclays Cycle Hire scheme - to use its real name - is not above criticism. The corporate naming rights for the scheme, which will cost Barclays £25 million till 2018, have sat increasingly uneasily since the revelations surrounding the LIBOR scandal, and has set a precedent for naming public services after publicity-hungry corporations (Arabfly Dangleway, anyone?). With the average weekday journey time just 18 minutes and subsequently free, and with an average daily income of just £3,370 for the whole scheme there are still questions surrounding the project's funding and long term viability. And that's before you even try to dock a bike at Waterloo at 6PM on a Friday night...
All this said and done, it already seems hard to remember a time before the Boris Bikes. As an existing London cyclist with a distinct aversion to riding in the rain I know that the scheme has increased my ridership levels. Catching the Tube in the mornings in the rain but still having the option to cycle home at the end of the day if I want to is conveniantly liberating. And having a fleet of bicycles at hand to help guide visitors on tours of the city is not just useful it's a joy to be able to share my passion for cycling here with people from out of town. And yes, there may have been one or two late night journeys home after the last Tube has left for the evening but the Boris Bikes have stuck around. Not a good idea, of course, but handy none the less...
But without a doubt the key success story of the Boris Bike scheme has been, for me, the way in which it has acted as a super-charger for everyday and ordinary cycling. The "come as you are" "turn up and ride" nature of the system has won over a whole new legion of fans who are realising, perhaps for the first time, that whether you're kitted out in lycra or high heels anyone can ride a bike. And for that reason alone our big bulky blue bikes have grown from being an ugly ducking in to a swan in my affections.
Happy birthday Barclays Cycle Hire, long may you continue! You're big, blue, bulky and expensive, and I think I love you.

Mark S said...
I really think you've hit the nail on the head with the "turn up and ride" comment. That is EXACTLY how a bicycle should be seen, as an extension of ones legs, a position that has sadly been taken up in this country by the car.
Cycling is the most efficient form of locomotion and in a busy city such as London is one of the few modes of transport where journey times can be so reliable :-)
Monchberter said...
I have to agree, 'turn up and ride' is the best way to describe their benefits.
They've grown on me somewhat, from thinking them too heavy and slow, I realised I shouldn't be comparing them to my own bikes. My only bug bear is that unlike tyres / gears the one thing you can't really check before you hire is the how well the brakes work. I'd say at least a third of the ones I do hire don't have brakes that work well enough for me to trust them fully, and that's after me doing a quick check while in the stand.
ibikelondon said...
@Mark S I agree - the way the wider public perceive the bike and its ability as a tool has been lost somewhat along the line. And I do believe the Boris Bikes are helping to counter that and re-position the bike in the wider consensus.
@Monchbeter You're not wrong! The single biggest failing of the entire scheme has, in my opinion, been the handling of the bikes themselves by Serco, the service provider who run the scheme for TfL. Their efforts at re-distributing the bikes have not gone well and their maintenance schedule is clearly not good enough. Keeping the bikes in top nick - and safe - should be Serco's primary consideration.
I'm a big fan - in theory. After seeing the Velib in Paris I looked forward to a London scheme. I even planned my route from Camberwell Green to the Elephant. Dropping the kids off at school using the bus means I can't often cycle to work. Still waiting for the scheme to extend south. I'm hoping that when I get that regular experience I'll consider using them for occasional trips to meetings in town.

I like your last sentence a lot. I wasn't aware about the existence of this service, since I haven't been in London for a while. But I recently visited Dublin (Ireland!) and found the same system there. It caught my attention very soon. The bikes are extremelly similar to those in London so I guess they either took the idea from London or from Canada itself. The only 'but' I see is that in order for it to be worthwhile one needs to stay in the city for longer than a month or two, since you have to pay a kind of a fee (not high for a year but high for a month or two) to be able to use this system. Particularly Dublin's public transport is very expensive so the idea is really good, except for visitors or short time residents as I said. What seems to work fine in Dublin is to ride on one's bike. There are a lot of them and I think (it's just my own idea) it's becuase of how expensive the public transport is, since it rains a lot in Dublin. Maybe they just adore bicycles! (no wonder by the way, I adore them too)
Hi Jose, well spotted, the system in Dublin is exactly the same as the system we have here in London. It's called "Bixi" as is brought off the shelf from a Canadian company of the same name.
Where we differ to the Dublin scheme is that here in London anyone can turn up on the day and purchase a 24 hour, 3 day or one week hire period using just their credit card. Subsequently the bikes are very popular with tourists, but perhaps that is what Dublin are trying to avoid? In Barcelona you have to be a registered resident to apply for a bike hire card to stop all of the bicycles being used by tourists leaving none for the residents - it may be a similar set up in Dublin.
Dublin has seen a real cycling renaissance in recent years and has become quite the poster-child due to the hard work and dedication of a number of pro-bike politicians there. Copenhagenize.com has some great posts about the history of cycling in the city and the current field of play there - hop over to their website and hit the 'Dublin" tag and you'll find plenty to keep you entertained!
Thanks for stopping by and happy cycling!
@Anonymous I agree that London needs to catch up with other cities in terms of providing infrastructure to back up the bike hire scheme. We need more bike hire stations (especially south of the river) and more good quality bike paths for people to use on them.
congokid said...
"The [Dublin] bikes are extremelly similar to those in London so I guess they either took the idea from London ..."
Yes, in fact Dublin was so impressed by the London scheme that it went back in time to September 2009 and launched its own bike hire scheme almost a whole year before London's saw daylight.
I guess I need to insert :) here...
Thank you for your useful post.I like very much this blue bike ride.Here,I got more information.

Brennan: LaVar Ball's latest lesson as AAU coach? No consequences for being sexist
It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one that the ridiculous LaVar Ball has once again made a fool of himself and a mockery of the values we hope our kids learn from sports.
What did the overbearing basketball father do this time?
Coaching a team of teenage boys at an AAU tournament in Las Vegas Friday morning, he had a female referee replaced mid-game after he was called for a technical, later going on a sexist rant about the woman.
Even with a new male referee brought in, however, Ball earned another technical and was ejected, but, Ball being Ball, he refused to leave. So the new referee decided to end the game right then and there, which Ball's team was losing, 53-43, declaring the opposing team the winner.
This tournament is run by Adidas, and its organizers told ESPN that it was their decision to cave to Ball's immature demands and replace the referee.
More Ball:
LaVar Ball goes on sexist rant about female referee after ejection from AAU game
LaVar Ball ejected, pulls team from floor after having issue with female referee
What an awful message they sent to the boys playing on that court. Instead of standing up to the bully, who was threatening to pull his team off the court (as usual), they spinelessly acceded to his sexist wishes.
And what did the organizers get for their trouble?
Ball threw another fit later on and the game was called early anyway.
Adidas organizers, you just got played.
After the game, spotting people with their phones ready to videotape him, Ball launched into a despicable tirade against the woman who was doing her job refereeing youth sports.
"She's got a vendetta because she's a woman that is trying to break into the refereeing thing, but giving techs and calling fouls, that's no way to do it," he said.
There was more:
"She ain't ready for this… She ain't good enough. She ain't got enough on her resume. I can tell."
He also uttered a sentence anyone who has followed Ball's pathetic path to notoriety had to know was coming.
"She needs to stay in her lane because she ain't ready for this."
There it was. There was his signature line, telling yet another woman to "stay in her lane."
Back in May, during a televised conversation about Ball's line of $495 sneakers, Fox Sports' Kristine Leahy asked him a perfectly reasonable question:
How many pairs of those shoes have been sold?
Ball's reply to a sports announcer who happened to be a woman?
"Stay in your lane."
I think he meant to say, "Very few."
Soon, Ball was tweeting that he was selling T-shirts with the slogan: "Stay in yo lane."
This should be unacceptable behavior for any person in this country in 2017. (I know, I know.) It certainly should be unacceptable for a company like Adidas, which, by the way, is trying to sell shoes to millions of female athletes too.
But, for another day, the basketball world, led by Adidas, let a man who represents the worst of their sport get away with whatever he wants to get away with. Shame on them.

July 2, 2015	Breastfeeding, Maternity, Walks of Motherhood	Trazodone best buy
This Mom contacted me and said she was an absolute fan of my work and she would be honored to be captured by me. She has a 2 year old daughter and is expecting a baby boy in a month. She breastfeeds her toddler and it is a very important moment for them, as it is a bond that is like no other. During our pre-consultation, she described the moment as peaceful, serene, unique. She said she felt like she was not only giving her daughter her milk, but that breastfeeding itself was an act of love and trust.
I shared with her the idea I had in my head: having a hammock between trees at the lake when the sun was coming down. She immediately -and enthusiastically- said YES. So we did… and everything went as planned and even better.
I loved every single moment of this session, and some of the photos have been featured, awarded and even published on magazines!
