What is D4H?
Effective Response
Inside D4H
"Search and Rescue in Hawaii" with Oahu SAR
Surrounded by ocean and divided by mountain ranges, the Hawaiian island of Oahu has unique geography for search and rescue. Robin was joined by Becca Frager, Director of Training at Oahu SAR to hear about the challenges they face and their hiking safety education initiative which aims to reduce the number of rescues needed.
Oahu's Location and Terrain
Oahu is Hawaii's most populated island with a population of just over 1 million. Oahu SAR also sometimes works on other Hawaiian islands, and travel time by plane takes 30 minutes to one hour depending on the island they're traveling to. Oahu has two major mountain ranges, the Koʻolau Range is the largest, followed by the Waiʻanae Range on the other side of the island.
These mountain ranges are popular with hikers, and depending on the side of the island, the terrain can be extremely dry or extremely wet. The island has a tropical climate and the mountains have steep, volcanic terrain that can become crumbly and dangerous. Mud can also be incredibly slippery, and this can quickly turn treacherous if hikers are on the wrong ridge. The jungle can also be very thick, which can make it easy for hikers to step off the trail and lose their way.
Common Incidents
Oahu SAR's speciality is Wilderness Search and Rescue. Their callouts can range from multi-agency searches that last for weeks on end, to someone who got off trail, gets lost, and calls them before it turns into a major rescue. Oahu SAR also trains in rope rescue so that they can access people in canyons or any other terrain where a haul system is required to remove them. A lot of searches involve doing rappels and moving up and down cliff faces. The vegetation can be dense which makes it hard for a helicopter or a drone to get a good view of the situation.
Oahu SAR are on call 24/7 so they search day and night depending on the situation and hazards.
Most of Oahu SAR's gear is located in the city of Honolulu, this is also where a lot of their training takes place. Every member starts out as a probationary member and if somebody is motivated, they can become a callout qualified member in approximately 6 months. In order to become callout qualified, probationary members must attend a series of trainings such as naviagtion, search theory, lost person behavior, and rope rescue.
Everybody gets tested on skills such as basic knots, pack checks to make sure they have the required gear to stay safe out in the wilderness, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Incident Command System (ICS) 100 and 700 for when they are collaborating with other agencies.
Preventative Search and Rescue Educational Programs
Oahu SAR works with various youth and adult groups to educate them on hiking safety, with an aim to reduce the number of rescues needed. They teach the public about what to pack in their hiking bags, how to prepare for a hike, how to be responsible on the trails, and the best way to respond if something does go wrong on a trail.
How Oahu SAR Uses D4H to Track Equipment
Oahu SAR's equipment includes medical equipment, radios, an AED, first-aid supplies, ropes, carabiners and pulleys. They use D4H Equipment Management to track their equipment. Every time they purchase a new piece of gear they upload it to D4H and include information like its retirement date, any notes, and the vendor. This comes in handy if they need to replace the item, and they also get a notification in advance of retirement dates.
How Oahu SAR Uses D4H to Track Training
Becca is the Director of Training at Oahu SAR, so she mainly uses D4H to track team training activities. As part of her role she plans trainings for the entire year, tracks attendance, makes sure all members are up to date on their training and qualifications. D4H Personnel & Training's shared calendar comes in extremely useful when Becca is planning out the team's training schedule for the year. Each individual training exercise will have a location, some notes, and attendance information also.
All training exercises and time spent training are then logged against each member profile in D4H.
Managing Team Communications in D4H
Oahu SAR also uses D4H to manage day-to-day team communications. They can send communications via D4H's built in email functionality, or they can use D4H's third party integration with Twilio for SMS text messages. The team can also send communications to various groups within the SAR team, such as on-call members, probationary members, etc.

17 Sep IceCube Drilling Rig
Posted at 00:00h in Biotech	by	WTN News 0 Comments
MADISIN,WI–A unique drilling rig, soon to be deployed to the South Pole to help an international consortium of scientists and engineers – including many from the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison – to build a neutrino telescope known as IceCube is now being tested at the UW-Madison Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL).
To build IceCube, engineers and technicians will need to deploy strings of bowling ball-sized photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) deep beneath the ice at the South Pole. The PMTs will be frozen into kilometer-deep holes made with the help of the novel hot-water drilling rig now being tested at (PSL). The equipment that makes up the rig includes a drilling tower, a giant hose reel on runners, and a series of mobile drilling structures, including two 10,000-gallon water tanks. The specially constructed drilling rig must not only be able to withstand the harsh conditions of the polar environment, but also must be able to be broken down into pieces that can fit into the cargo bay of Air Force C-130 Tranport aircraft, the workhorse aircraft for the National Science Foundation's research station at the South Pole.
The drilling rig will be available for viewing by news media on Friday, Sept. 19, from 10:30 a.m.-noon. Engineers and technicians will be on hand to describe the rig, and explain IceCube and the science behind neutrino astronomy.

BC Liquor Stores adds pre-order requests online for 2017 Bordeaux release
A trip to France may be off the table this fall, but that won't stop British Columbians from savouring some of the best wines a certain southwest region has to offer.
1 / 1 The 2017 Bordeaux release will be available from September 26 at participating stores.BC Liquor Stores
For more than three decades, BC Liquor Stores' annual release of Bordeaux has prompted fans to camp out overnight in hopes of snagging a bottle or case of the latest coveted vintage.
On Sept. 26, the 2017 Bordeaux release is expected to attract that same fervour, but given the pandemic and a late frost that led to a smaller vintage that year, customers can expect some changes including a new online pre-order request system.
Barbara Philip, BC Liquor Stores' category manager for European wines, says centuries of Bordeaux establishing itself as the most famous wine in the world has built a fandom that typically has hundreds of customers lining up early at some participating stores.
"At the top end, these are some of the most highly-allocated, desirable wines in the world," says Philip, who in 2007 became the first Western Canadian to achieve the Master of Wine designation.
"There's a chance that they'll increase in value after you buy them and I think Bordeaux has proven itself to be able to make great wines for hundreds of years, so people are really interested and curious about that."
To select the wines for this year's release, Philip visited Bordeaux in the spring of 2018 for the annual "en primeur" barrel tasting marathon. One thing she and the other merchants and critics noticed was how a late frost in April 2017 had affected the quantity — but not the quality.
Fortunately, over the years, BC Liquor Stores has built strong relationships with Bordeaux's "négociants" (wine merchants), ordering quality products directly from the source, rather than third parties, Philip says.
"We didn't really have much to choose from, so we had to sort of call in our favours and use our relationships that we have with Bordeaux to get the top wines," Philip says.
"A lot of people didn't even make wine in 2017. They lost their crops."
In 2019, BC Liquor Stores was able to bring more than 10,000 cases of the 2016 vintage to 32 stores, shipped from more than 200 châteaux. This year, Philip expects about 5,300 cases of the 2017 vintage comprised of 181 wines.
Prices range from $30 to $3,200 per bottle and notables this year include the Clos Des Lunes - Lune D'Argent Bordeaux ($35), Clos La Madeleine St.Emilion ($125), Château Certan de May Pomerol ($250), Le Petit Mouton Pauillac ($400) and Château Margaux ($1,200).
In addition to having a smaller selection this year, BC Liquor Stores is taking steps to protect customers from COVID-19.
The new pre-order request system has customers fill out an online form where they can choose a limited number of some of the most sought-after wines, and then visit their selected store on or after release day to pick them up.
Meantime, stores will have physically-distanced lineups where customers can buy larger quantities of the remaining Bordeaux products. Store capacity will be limited, but they are opening early to process more transactions.
Philip says she expects merlot-based wines from the Right Bank to be in high demand, given their short supply and high quality.
"Wines like the Château Pétrus, Château Trotanoy, Château La Fleur-Pétrus, Château Lafleur — those ones will go very, very quickly," she says.


Transplantation of Noncultured Stromal Vascular Fraction Cells of Adipose Tissue Ameliorates Osteonecrosis of the Jaw-Like Lesions in Mice.
The precise pathoetiology and effective treatment strategies for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) remain unknown. Transplantation of noncultured stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells has been shown to be a useful method for regenerative medicine in place of stem cell therapy. This study investigated the effects of noncultured SVF transplantation on tooth extraction socket healing in mice. Both chemotherapeutic/bisphosphonate combination therapy for 7 weeks and tooth extraction of maxillary first molars at 3 weeks after drug administration were performed using female C57BL/6J mice. Osseous and soft tissue wound healing were validated at 4 weeks postextraction using gross wound healing and histomorphometry. Here, we created a new animal model of high-prevalence ONJ-like lesions that mimic human progression, because human ONJ mainly occurs in female patients taking both chemotherapeutic and bisphosphonate following tooth extraction. Moreover, mice with chemotherapeutic and bisphosphonate combination therapy for 5 weeks received SVF transplantation just after tooth extraction at 3 weeks post-drug administration. Euthanasia was performed at 2 weeks postextraction to assess the transplantation effects on wound healing using gross wound healing, histomorphometry, immunohistomorphometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and microcomputed tomography. We showed that systemic transplantation of noncultured SVF cells ameliorates ONJ-like lesions by improving both osseous and soft tissue healing of tooth extraction sockets. SVF therapy significantly increased blood vessels and the ratio of M2/M1 macrophages. In addition, SVF transplantation reduced the increases in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive (TRAP+ ) mononuclear cells (MNCs) and nonattached osteoclasts from the bone surface, which were significantly detected in the connective tissue of tooth extraction sockets and bone marrow by chemotherapeutic/bisphosphonate combination therapy. Our findings suggest that transplantation of noncultured SVF cells is a suitable treatment for BRONJ. Abnormal TRAP+ MNCs and nonattached osteoclasts in systemic and local environments may contribute to the development of BRONJ. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Joe briefly discusses working with Jill Wagner in "Travelers," and building on his character's backstory in "Outcast."
Joe: "It's a big galaxy out there, there's always plenty of romantic potential. We have an episode this season called "Travelers," where we introduce a character played by a girl named Jill Wagner. (garbled) a lot of fun. It's a lot of…(holds up his hands, clenching one into a fist, and punches his other hand with the fist) hmmm, how would I explain this - there's a lot of friction between the two of us. (smiles) So that begins the romantic journey for Sheppard. And it comes full circle, all the way back to his ex-wife."
Joe: "We go back and delve into my back-story. Finally! After four years. That's a really interesting episode, it's called "Outcast." My back-story relates to: a) we have an ex-wife coming into the picture; a brother; a father in some type of capacity. I can't tell you what state he's in. But anyways, it's essentially my family situation. Which hasn't been talked about."

Improving Employee Engagement Using Neuroleadership Concepts
By: Gordon Greer, LMSW
All, Employee Assistance Programs
Workers operate in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous world, or VUCA to borrow from the military. To be effective, they need to learn how to respond to and operate successfully in this VUCA world. By utilizing the neuroleadership SCARF model, employers can foster a more engaged workforce and create a more successful workplace.
Introduced by Dr. David Rock in 2008, the term neuroleadership refers to the harnessing of neuroscience to develop adaptive, resilient, inclusive leaders. One of the enduring aspects of neuroleadership is Rock's SCARF model which describes the importance of Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness that humans rely on to feel safe, and therefor engaged.
You can see how these domains line up nicely as a conceptual balm for VUCA. We instinctively move towards perceived rewards, and away from perceived threats. In this model, feeling important, prepared, in control, connected, and justly dealt with is rewarding.
Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity make work difficult, whether the cause is increasing competition, pace of life, and technical advancements, dwindling or delayed resources, famine, war zones, climate change, cyberattacks, civil unrest, or global pandemic.
According to a recent Gallup poll, VUCA contributes to 85% of employees are not engaged or are actively disengaged at work, accounting for $7 trillion in lost productivity.
Our brains are designed for one primary purpose–to survive.
The human brain continues to draw little distinction between social threats and danger involving basic physical security (food, water, shelter, and safety from assault or being killed). After all, to be expelled from a community or have one's name or reputation sullied has meant certain death in the past (and still does in some parts of the world).
Before we examine how companies and individuals can use SCARF to address employee safety needs, let's review why threat and reward responses are so integral to functioning in the workplace.
When a threat is detected, common responses typically involve the following:
Blood flow (hence oxygen) is directed away from the brain to the muscles in the extremities so the body can mobilize for protection or escape.
The corrosive stress hormone cortisol is pumped through the body, contributing to insomnia, digestive problems, memory and concentration issues.
Activation of the cortical portion of the brain (where executive thought occurs) shifts to the limbic portion of the brain (the brain's emotional center).
The brain may experience a constriction of time to the here and now.
The brain may limit its focus to one of self-interest at the exclusion of considering others (at least temporarily).
The body and brain may begin to break down if these physiological and psychological responses become customary with repeated, protracted exposure to stressors.
The result for employees and employers can include burnout, disability (extraordinarily costly from a monetary and societal perspective), workplace injury, retention problems, and reduced capacity to create, innovate, persuade, attend, solve problems, and function as a team.
When the reward system is activated, however, you can essentially reverse the process above:
Blood flow (and oxygen) is directed toward the brain as well as muscles in the body (if that is part of the nature of the given job).
The pleasure hormones dopamine and bonding hormone oxytocin are more likely to be released.
Cortical and limbic balance is possible.
We can be present moment focused with an ability to plan and consider the future.
We can balance enlightened self interest with concern for others.
We can better endure stress, and build resilience.
Applying the SCARF Model
SCARF offers a scientifically based tool for helping employers improve the lives of their employees, while helping their bottom line. Safety is rewarding. It enriches human capital and profit.
Here are some ideas of how SCARF can be applied in the workplace:
(Our perceived importance in relation to others.)
Provide specific, frequent, ongoing feedback. Specific feedback is viewed as more effective because of the sincerity it demonstrates. For instance, saying "I really value the creativity you showed by suggesting this" feels better than "Good job."
Elicit and encourage ongoing, convenient two-way communication and do your part to respond and keep the channels open.
Send messages of value to each member of an organization through using first names or showing equal respect for everyone (relating on a first name basis, and with a "leaders eat last" mentality).
Include virtual and contract/temp employees equally for a sense of unity.
Request and consider opinions and alternative perspectives from everyone.
(Confidence about what happens next and into the future. This is an especially important domain to counteract VUCA.)
Provide transparent, timely, regular information.
Share plans or at least dates for changes as soon and as often as possible.
Craft honest but tactful messages, not dodging situations involving bad or unpopular news.
Make expectations crystal clear, acknowledging points of ambiguity.
Be consistent with processes and standards.
Adhere and stay true to corporate values. Sometimes those are the constant, and employees indicate that lived corporate values are meaningful to them.
Break down complicated and involved processes into digestible steps. We eat elephants one bite at a time.
(Perceived control we have over our lives.)
Find ways to involve employees in decisions and power to make decisions.
Give choices whenever possible. But not too many choices, which can create anxiety (sometimes referred to as the "paradox of abundance").
Grant employees more control over their departments.
Educate and train virtual employees how to maximize working from home and make sure they have the proper tools.
Make sure job descriptions are up to date and accurate.
Encourage self-assessment.
Avoid micromanagement.
Relatedness
(Connection we feel to others.)
Foster relationships with co-workers across departments and cultural backgrounds.
Encourage inclusivity and diversity including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQ+ employees, and employees with disabilities.
Find commonalities amongst work force.
Learn about workers' lives outside of work.
Find ways for virtual and on-site employees to build relationships.
(Perceived reasonableness of decisions that affect us.)
Demonstrate transparency in how decisions are made and how performance is evaluated.
Create processes to identify and remedy inequities.
Recognize that sometimes fair does not mean equal (accommodations).
Offer recourse to address conflict of interest and complaints.
Explain why something might be or seem unfair if there's a good reason.
Applications Beyond Staff
As we ponder SCARF, it may occur to you that the values that reduce threat and reinforce reward are the same kinds of values that are found in mission statements. The spirit and substance of SCARF behaviors and responses may also apply to customers, clients, vendors, and loved ones of employees as well.

The scenarios suggesting btc testing $1 We're here to make sure it's super simple to discover the news when it comes to sistem like gladiacoin.Opportunities many argue that bitcoin Valued at $1-$5 Which has trade-offs. But Beginning limits are generally low enough for individuals to forgo background checks that are in-depth and provide a go to the schemes.
That�s the flip side of this coin. Me when people join. I am writing an analysis (that will be published in the next few weeks) that puts bitcoin value at year 2020 well past 10000 usd. The price of bitcoin has swung wildly and bitcoin investors have been left with little recourse in cases of fraud and theft Capped at 4 btc a day and/or 120 btc a month spartacus 7 ��15% commission Other hyips other hyips that have been shut down due to legal action include ginsystem inc.
This is also a very good indicator that the owner of jet coin is operating outside of the us The irs stated that all virtual currencies Regulatory risk this is the one that scares me the most with the ongoing war on cash. Thus the true nature of the business is revealed. At first The fund issues tokens to its shareholders in proportion to the amount of money invested by each member.
That growth culminated in ethereum achieving a record-breaking market capitalization of over $1b. It has a high sensitivity to �news. As only a bad actor nation could. 25% but thi includes roc ) you basically purchase btc packs at a cost �43 each which run for 140 trading days What matters is that its data (and ruleset) is still perceived to have value Those transactions will remain a tiny percentage of their larger general use.
Once initially invested funds are exhausted it is unlikely that gladiacoin will survive a second round of roi payouts. Mining will change in about 18 months to stake of claim. Presumably ashton kutcher Really not worth it for the ordinary consumer. Do you know of any companies that are legitimate that offer making money like gladiacoin?. It will definitely worth more then what it is today.
If an mlm company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it So in say 2 years Metropolis is intended to reduce the complexity of the evm and provide more flexibility for smart contract developers. Digital currency made the north american securities administrators association�s list of new investor threats. Since bitcoin is a currency - its value will depend on the purchasing power of other currencies. Note that there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
03% and 15 times more risky than traditional currencies Gladiacoin�s recent roi payout issues have nothing to do with cryptocurrency trading. A few members of the community kept raising the issue of slow network and the growing albatross fee which is absolutely inconsistent with bitcoin's conception.

Aramis (acronyme d'Agencement en rames automatisées de modules indépendants en stations) est un projet avorté de mini-métro entièrement automatique, développé entre 1970 et 1987 par la Régie autonome des transports parisiens (RATP) et Matra Transport.

Le projet concerne d'abord un taxi robot , puis un mini-métro automatique de gabarit plus réduit que le véhicule automatique léger (VAL). Il prévoit la mise en circulation de modules à roulement sur pneumatiques pouvant embarquer dix passagers, fonctionnant de manière indépendante mais pouvant former des rames lorsque leurs itinéraires convergent. La destination et l'interaction entre modules est gérée par un système informatique.

Après de longues années de développement, les essais sont réalisés de 1986 à 1987 sur une piste construite sur la ligne de Petite Ceinture, le long du boulevard Victor à Paris. L'expérience est cependant abandonnée au bout de quelques mois à cause des trop nombreuses contraintes du système, notamment sa faible capacité.

Malgré l'échec du projet, les technologies développées pour Aramis ont été exploitées plus tard pour le projet Meteor et pour le VAL.

Histoire

Genèse

Le programme Aramis apparaît en 1970 lorsque Matra Transport (aujourd'hui Siemens Mobility) achète des brevets se rapportant au concept de taxi robot à la société Automatisme et technique de Gérard Bardet et entame des études préliminaires. Soutenu par la DATAR dans le but de lutter contre l'engorgement automobile, ce projet s'inscrit dans un engouement mondial pour la technologie du taxi-robot, ou PRT (Personal Rapid Transit), venu des États-Unis.

L'idée principale du PRT est de développer un système de transport en commun personnalisable qui combinerait le débit important du métro et l'adaptation à la demande de l'automobile. Des modules de faible capacité sont mis en circulation sur un réseau maillé en  et relient directement, sans arrêt, le point de départ au point d'arrivée, à la manière d'un taxi. Même si les modules sont indépendants, ceux-ci sont programmés pour s'atteler virtuellement et ainsi former des trains lorsque leurs itinéraires convergent.

Développement du projet
Le , l'Institut de recherche des transports, devenu l'Institut national de recherche sur les transports et leur sécurité (INRETS), et Matra signent un marché à hauteur d'environ cinq millions de francs pour la construction d'un prototype d'Aramis à l'aéroport d'Orly. Des essais y sont réalisés avec cinq véhicules circulant sur un tronçon de voie jusqu'au début de 1974, afin de valider le système.

En 1974, le ministère des Transports et le district de la région parisienne confient à la Régie autonome des transports parisiens (RATP) le rôle de maître d'ouvrage, en vue de perfectionner le système pour une future exploitation commerciale, en collaboration avec l'INRETS.

Réseau planifié
Au début des années 1980, la ville de Paris revendique l'organisation de l'exposition universelle de 1989 pour fêter le bicentenaire de la Révolution française, et étudie une liaison par les transports en commun entre les pôles de Javel et de Bercy, destinés à accueillir l'exposition. Jacques Chirac, maire de Paris, émet par ailleurs le souhait que la partie méridionale de la Petite Ceinture, fermée au trafic voyageur depuis 1934, accueille de nouveau un système de transport.

Le système Aramis est ainsi retenu sur une liaison entre Javel et la gare de Lyon via la Petite Ceinture et, le , le ministre des Transports donne un accord de principe à l'installation d'un centre d'études techniques (CET) à l'emplacement de l'ancienne gare de Grenelle-marchandises, à proximité de la gare du boulevard Victor (aujourd'hui Pont du Garigliano) du RER C. Malgré l'abandon du projet d'exposition, les essais d'Aramis sont maintenus en vue d'une possible candidature de Paris aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 2000.

Un réseau complet est prévu pour une ouverture en 1992 :
 une ligne de  dont  sur la ligne de Petite Ceinture ferroviaire sud de Paris, du boulevard Victor à la gare de Lyon ;
 une boucle de  du boulevard Masséna à la porte d'Ivry via les gares de Lyon et d'Austerlitz ;
 une antenne d' de la place d'Italie à la place de Rungis, dans le  ;
 une antenne de  de la porte d'Orléans à Bagneux ;
 une antenne assurant la desserte spécifique du Parc des Expositions, dans le .
Les antennes vers Bagneux et Place d'Italie se substituent à des prolongements alors envisagés des lignes 4 et 5 du métro. La boucle prévue dans le  et le  doit permettre la desserte des nouvelles ZAC de Bercy et Tolbiac-Masséna et remplace une extension possible de la  vers la porte d'Ivry.

Phase d'essais au CET du boulevard Victor
La réalisation du CET est lancée le  par la signature d'un protocole d'accord signé par la RATP, le ministère des Transports, la région Île-de-France et Matra.

En , une voie d'essai de  est posée à la gare de Grenelle-Marchandises, et le premier doublet de deux éléments commence ses essais. Pendant plusieurs mois les ingénieurs de la RATP et de Matra mettent au point l'interaction entre les modules sur le circuit mais rencontrent des difficultés, notamment avec l'attelage virtuel des doublets. Le CET reçoit la visite de Jacques Chirac, Premier ministre et maire de Paris, et d'Édouard Balladur, ministre de l'Économie et des Finances, qui prennent place dans un module.

Néanmoins, dès , l'expérience est définitivement suspendue : en effet, le système, s'il a prouvé sa viabilité technique, accumule de nombreux inconvénients, en particulier une très faible capacité et une incompatibilité avec le réseau existant. Les installations sont détruites et le site laisse sa place à l'actuel siège de France Télévisions.

Description technique
Aramis est un système de transport urbain en commun, en site propre intégral et entièrement automatisé.

Il appartient au départ à la catégorie des taxis robots, c'est-à-dire que c'est un système de transport de point à point sans arrêt intermédiaire. Comme dans un ascenseur, le voyageur appelle le véhicule, puis monte à bord et indique sa destination à un ordinateur. Chaque station est située sur une voie dérivée, ce qui permet aux véhicules à l'arrêt d'être dépassés par ceux desservant des stations plus éloignées.

 En 1974, la desserte devient semi-directe et les véhicules comportent six places, la destination est préprogrammée par le système.
 En 1977, la desserte devient omnibus, et les véhicules comportent dix places.

Le système final, mis à l'essai en 1986-1987, est fondé sur l'utilisation d'éléments autonomes de deux modules indissociables dits « doublets ». Ils sont électriques, à petit gabarit et roulent sur pneumatiques. Chaque doublet a une destination propre prédéfinie par l'ordinateur mais il se joint à d'autres doubles en ligne pour former une rame. En station, le voyageur peut ainsi choisir sa destination selon le doublet dans lequel il prend place. L'accouplement est permis par un système « d'attelage virtuel », géré informatiquement, qui maintient continuellement un écart de  entre les doublets. Le changement de voie s'effectue sans rail de guidage, par un dispositif d'aiguillage embarqué.

Bilan

Les raisons de l'échec
Dès l'arrêt des essais en décembre 1987, l'Institut national de recherche sur les transports et leur sécurité (INRETS) charge l'ingénieur et sociologue Bruno Latour de réaliser un audit sur Aramis. Celui-ci en tirera un ouvrage philosophico-technique intitulé Aramis ou l'amour des techniques, paru en 1992 aux éditions La Découverte.

Bruno Latour démontre dans son rapport la viabilité de la technologie, et affirme que le concept initial d'Aramis répondait bel bien à un besoin, celui de conjuguer capacité et confort pour les voyageurs. Tout en estimant qu'aucun des acteurs impliqués dans le projet n'est spécifiquement responsable de l'échec, il identifie un ensemble de causes ayant conduit à son échec.

Une première cause serait la mauvaise conduite du processus d'innovation : là où Matra avait conçu le VAL en partant d'un concept simple  et en le complexifiant ensuite, Aramis a d'emblée été pensé comme une technologie très ambitieuse que ses concepteurs ont refusé de simplifier malgré les difficultés rencontrées, notamment avec l'attelage virtuel. Un autre problème très concret mais irrésolu était celui du comportement des voyageurs en station, les destinations multiples du système pouvant porter à confusion pour les non-initiés et créer des attroupements sur les quais.

Une autre raison de cet échec serait le manque de dialogue et de compromis entre les différents acteurs qui poursuivaient des objectifs différents. Ainsi, Matra souhaitait abandonner le concept de taxi-robot et faire d'Aramis un VAL de petite capacité, tandis que la RATP ne s'intéressait qu'aux retombées technologiques et ne croyait pas à sa viabilité économique. Aramis était de toute façon trop peu capacitaire pour la région parisienne, y compris sur l'axe de la Petite Ceinture sud dont le potentiel de trafic avait été sous-estimé. Latour estime en revanche qu'une implantation dans une ville moyenne, à Montpellier ou à Dijon par exemple, aurait sûrement apporté toute satisfaction. L'auteur du rapport pointe également l'absence d'un soutien politique clair et continu, le ministre des transports Charles Fiterman ayant démissionné deux jours après la signature de l'accord en 1984.

Enfin, il met en lumière un amalgame décousu entre recherche et développement de la part des chercheurs au moment des essais au CET. Ainsi, alors même que les essais avaient débuté et que commençait la phase de développement du système, certains aspects techniques comme la gestion des embranchements et l'attelage virtuel entre les modules n'étaient toujours pas au point. Il conclut que les concepteurs ont manqué d'engagement dans le processus de recherche, persuadés que la technique suivrait leurs ambitions, ce qui été fatal à la viabilité du système.

Avancées techniques

Le système Aramis n'a jamais été exploité commercialement. Toutefois, le système de voies et les aiguillages sans rails de guidage sont similaires à ceux du système VAL, et les connaissances acquises lors des essais sur les automatismes ont permis de lancer le projet Meteor, première grande ligne de métro à automatisme intégral dans une capitale, ouverte en 1998, et qui deviendra la ligne 14 du métro de Paris. Certains automatismes mis au point pour Aramis sont en effet intégrés au Système d'automatisation de l'exploitation des trains (SAET), système de pilotage de la ligne.

Implantations possibles
Plusieurs lieux d'implantation du système ont été étudiés durant sa phase de développement. Le projet le plus abouti était celui d'un réseau sur la ligne de Petite Ceinture au sud de Paris, prévu dans le cadre du projet d'exposition universelle de 1989 et finalement abandonné en 1987. Jacques Chirac, déçu de l'abandon du projet, aurait alors suggéré d'implanter Aramis sous la forme d'un transport hectométrique entre les gares de Lyon et d'Austerlitz, mais cette courte liaison n'aurait pas démontré le potentiel du système.

D'autres lignes ont été envisagées en région parisienne, notamment une liaison entre Châtillon et Vélizy, une ligne en rocade entre Antony et Créteil et une desserte de l'aéroport de Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, qui se concrétisera finalement sous la forme du système SK 6000 puis du CDGVAL.

L'implantation d'Aramis a également été étudiée en province. Georges Frêche et Jacques Médecin, respectivement maires de Montpellier et Nice, ont été enthousiasmés par le système et ont souhaité son implantation dans leur ville. Des études ont également été menées à Toulon, Dijon et Strasbourg.

Dealing with Delinquent Owners Denying Access to Common Areas
By W.B. King 2012 May Management
By and large, a board and management company can expect payment from residents for monthly fees to be received on time and in full. These all-important funds keep day-to-day operations moving forward without delay. There are situations, however, that arise which can offset the balance sheet. Circumstances run the gamut but in the end, monies that can't be collected end up costing a whole lot more than the losses they represent.
The most common excuse given is that the person simply can't afford to make the payment whether it is true or not. In these cases unit owners will ask for patience, and offer an excuse as to why they are unable to pay, which most recently has been the economy.
It is true that the economy has played a major role in not only late payments but the ability for some people to make their payments at all. This is due, in part, to high jobless rates.
Sometimes though it isn't the economy or a medical emergency that spurs a unit owner into not paying their fees.
According to Pamela Jonah, an attorney with Goodman, Shapiro & Lombardi, LLC, based in Dedham, Massachusetts, every so often a unit owner will withhold the payment of common fee in response to an alleged grievance against the board.
"A common example is an allegation that the board has not responded to the unit owner's complaint regarding the need for repair of some common areas," says Jonah. "But there is no defense to the non-payment of common fees."
The way in which a board determines how to handle collecting monies that are past due is always different as respective bylaws dictate the course of action. In most situations there is a grace period between five and 15 days after the payment is due which is usually the first of the month. "If it is deemed a temporary issue, then it is simply a matter of collecting the money," says accountant Michael A. Esposito, CPA, who works in New York City. "If it's a chronic use, you have to then factor the losses into your budgeting."
To this end, most boards will assume that there will be a percentage, albeit small, of deadbeats who will not make payments which impacts the rest of the community. This is considered an unfair charge to residents that faithfully pay their fees and common charges.
"If, for example, you were trying to collect one million dollars, you have to figure that you will not collect that amount and will collect something less," says Esposito. "Theoretically, you're still going to have to come up with that million dollars so common charges for all residents have to be raised to say $1.1 million dollars. This is the downside of living cooperatively."
Mediation Before Litigation
While most boards have an attorney on retainer, they depend on their management company to keep them apprised of any delinquencies. This communication chain of command can add more time to the situation. For example, if a resident misses a payment, the management company will normally not send a notice to that resident until the grace period is over, and in some cases will wait weeks longer. The management company will inform the board at the next monthly meeting. So before any action can be considered, and providing the resident didn't make good on the first missed payment, the delinquent resident will likely have missed two payments before any serious action is taken.
"Common problems are people losing their jobs or claiming bankruptcy and the management company are the ones that have to be aware of the reason that payments are not being made," says Albert M. Kushnirov, CPA, who is with an accounting firm based in New York City.
"We are seeing more of this in the last couple of years. And when it comes with how a board will deal with the situation, everyone is different. It is like every board is a different country with different rules and customs."
Depending on the board, the rules for collection of delinquent fees are usually covered in the bylaws or "house rules," the propriety lease, the offering plan, or management policy. Boards generally prefer that if a written notice doesn't spur activity to have the management company call the resident directly.
Some industry professionals point out that typically, this type of follow-up will continue for a month or two. Eventually, however, if these steps don't yield a response, an attorney should be contacted to draft a similar letter with the threat of legal action citing relevant provisions of obligations in the controlling documents.
"We always counsel boards to be vigilant in reviewing and scrutinizing unit owner account arrearages," adds Jonah, who frequently handles litigation on behalf of condominium associations, "Boards should also place accounts maintaining arrearages with our office for lien enforcement no later than 90 days after the unit owner goes into arrears."
While banks and lending institutions penalize a person for being late on a car loan payment or credit card payment with a late charge, boards often do not. Their main goal is trying to recoup monies lost and up and until legal counsel is brought into the picture, they look to remedy the situation with as little cost as possible.
If a resident is not excessively delinquent, often boards will wait until the arrearage gets to be a higher amount to warrant the spending of legal fees to recover the late fees. Boards do not have a lot of extra money and they do not want to spend money on an attorney unless they have to.
Suspending Privileges
Charging late fees, filing liens and starting foreclosures are the most common avenues and methods to persuade members to pay; however, many associations also have the ability to suspend privileges to any member in arrears. The theory being that the assessments pay for those privileges and if a member is not contributing to the cost of those privileges and/or amenities, then they can be deprived of the benefit of using them.
"The answer will depend entirely on what your state's laws," says attorney Adam Cohen, a member of the law firm of Pullman & Comley, LLC, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, "and your association's declaration and bylaws, say on these subjects. Denying non-essential privileges such as pool access may be easier but might at least require that the board hold a hearing and invite the owner to be heard first."
Jonah agrees, "In Massachusetts, there is no case directly on point with regard to the right of an association to withhold privileges and access to common areas and amenities due to the non-payment of common fees. Since such a withholding could be deemed a restriction on use, it would seem that in order to deny access, say to the pool for the non-payment of common fees, would require an amendment to the master deed or bylaws."
A board that is experiencing a shortfall of funds maybe be forced to conduct a special assessment to make ends meet, especially in this economic climate, explains Kushnirov. "During debt collection proceedings, a few times we have seen condominiums activate a special assessment to make up for the monies lost."
Ultimately, the old adage of a few bad apples upsetting the apple cart is realized. Residents are not without recourse in that they can request information from the board as to who is not making payments. They are not allowed to harass the delinquent party due to governing laws and other legislation; they are entitled to know why a special assessment was executed and why their monthly dues increased.
Fair Collections
If legal action is taken, it can take months if not over a year for a case to be settled. The nation's consumer protection agency, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), is the entity that enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from a delinquent party. Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is defined as a person who regularly collects debts owed to others and includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them, notes the FTC.
In many cases, the location of the building and the demographics that comprise the residents make a difference on the frequency of payment arrears or the juxtaposed value in the event collections occur.
Since condo and co-op owners have a different ownership structure, in many cases, Kushnirov explains that the former will continue to pay their mortgage payments but lapse on their monthly fees. "To avoid getting in trouble with the bank, condo owners will continue to pay them but not their monthly fees. This happens on a regular basis."
Essentially, a co-op owner is just a lessee with ownership of shares in a corporation. The board can initiate an eviction proceeding because it is a landlord/tenant relationship. The process can take anywhere from three to six months.
However, the attorneys say, with condominium owners, it becomes an issue of foreclosure on that unit by the board. This proceeding is far more costly and time-consuming with a six- to 18-month window depending on the site, the judge and the parties involved.

Rogue (Shifters #2)
September 12, 2014 February 6, 2016 Bound to Be Me Book Review, Paranormal/Fantasy, Reading Current Review	4 Stars, NA Books, Paranormal/Fantasy, Romance
Author: Rachel Vincent
Okay, so cats don't always land on their feet. I know that better than most. Since rejoining the Pride, I've made big decisions and even bigger mistakes: the kind paid for with innocent lives. As the first and only female enforcer, I have plenty to prove to my father, the Pride, and myself. And with murdered toms turning up in our territory, I'm working harder than ever, though I always find the energy for a little after-hours recreation with Marc, my partner both on- and off-duty.
But not all of my mistakes are behind me. We're beginning to suspect that the dead are connected to a rash of missing human women and that they can all be laid at my feet–two or four, take your pick. And one horrible indiscretion may yet cost me more than I can bear…
Again, this book started out slow but when it picked up, you didn't want to put the book down. As I predicted in the last book, Faythe had accidentally turned Andrew, her ex. But I did not expect the way the author took the story.
I was expecting more of a love triangle between Faythe, Andrew, and Marc. But instead the accidental bite ended Faythe's relationship with Matc and Faythe having to kill Andrew. Although Faythe's character was more mature, she still reacts selfishly at times. I feel bad about her and Marc's breakup. Faythe defiantly overreacted about the ring but Marc said some cruel things. I'm glad Faythe didn't get away with biting Andrew. I am interested to see where the author takes the next book in regards to Faythe's trial and her relationship with Marc.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. The characters are interesting and the plot was exciting.
Stray (Shifters #1)
There are only eight breeding female werecats left… And I'm one of them. I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds. Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.
I'd been warned about Strays — werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.
This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back… for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever — and whoever — I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays — 'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them…
At first I really didn't care for the main character. She came off more of a bitch than anything else. I think the author was aiming for a strong feminist character but Faythe sounded more like a spoiled girl holding a grudge. Throughout the first half of the book, Faythe complained about her mistreatment based on the fact that she is a female, how no one took her seriously because she was a female, and how horrible her mother was because she would rather cook for her family than draw blood from another person. When in reality, no one took Faythe seriously because she threw tantrums and acted like a spoiled brat. And her mother was just as strong and held feminist characteristics even though she perfered the kitchen. This is a perfect example of how feminism gets a bad name. I'm not sure if Faythe's character grew, she backed off on her tantrums, or the plot became to interesting and I ignored her less than ideal characteristics but the second half of the boom was really good!
Overall, the second half of the plot saved the book. I'm willing to read the second book in this series but I'm not sure how far I will get.
The Beautiful Ashes (Broken Destiny #1)
September 8, 2014 February 6, 2016 Bound to Be Me Book Review, Paranormal/Fantasy, Reading Current Review	4 Stars, NA Books, Paranormal/Fantasy, Romance
Author: Jeaniene Frost
In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate. Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…
Jeaniene Frost is an amazing author! I found myself sighing after a couple chapters, thinking finally, an author who not only writes well but is able to create a plot that seems to flow effortlessly.
The beautiful Ashes is an entertaining story about angels and demons and the ultimate war between good and bad. Two star crossed lovers whose fate has already been predicted with betrayal and death, are not only caught in the middle of the war but also expected to save or destroy the world. I do t usually go for angle and demon books but I love this authors writing that I was willing to give it a try.
The book is captivating with one hot scene between Ivy and Adrian. I was able to follow the book relatively easy except for the end when supposedly Adrian betrays Ivy. I either missed this betrayal or didn't think the action was much of a betrayal to registrar in my brain. Overall, I enjoyed the book and will read the next on but this probably won't be one of my favorite series.
Blue Moon (Anita Blake #8)
Author: Laurell Hamilton
When she chose master vampire Jean-Claude over her ex-fiancé, alpha werewolf Richard Zeeman, Anita learned that sometimes love is not enough. But though she and Richard won't be walking down any aisles, she can't turn her back on him when he's arrested on a rape charge in Tennessee. Anita knows firsthand that Richard has the morals of a saint—or at least a boy scout. But his guilt or innocence is not the issue. He's behind bars, and in five days a full moon will rise…
This book was completely different from the rest of the books in this series. This book was all sex and violence. Richards character has almost done a 180 and I hardly recognized him. In this book, Anita went further than she thought she ever would, her and Richard got back together, and secrets were revealed.
I'm glad that Aniat is giving Richard another chance but there relationship is an open one. It's hard to decide how I feel about this book. A lot of things happened in this book and at times I felt like the author was only going for shock value only… This will probably be it for me in regards to this series.
Burnt Offerings (Anita Blake #7)
"You can't trust anyone who sleeps with the monsters."
That's what I've always said. That's what I've always believed. But now I'm the one sharing a bed with the Master Vampire of the City. Me, Anita Blake. The woman the vampires call the Executioner. From part of the solution, I've become part of the problem. So it hits close to home when an arsonist begins to target vampire-owned businesses all over town — an arsonist who seems to want to destroy more than just property. It's the monsters who are in danger now. And it's up the the Executioner to save them from the inferno…
Anita can be a frustrating character! This book is the beginning of the series downfall. I felt like the start of this book didn't add up to the end of the previous book. Supposedly it has only been 6 weeks between the books yet Anita claims she doesn't love Richard, how she couldn't handle him being a monster, and the reason she ended things was because he ate the previous alpha. Ok, first off in the last book it was Richard who walked out on her. And Anita is having sex with Jean-Claude who using her words, technically dies every sun rise. And the fact that she watches Jean-Claude tear someone's throat out and is fine with it… I feel like Anita is being childish in regards to Richard.
Then halfway threw the book, she is claiming she still loves Richard. The love triangle in this book was uncomfortable and depressing. Anita does make a good lupa. It will be sad to see her lose the pack but Richard needs to heal and Anita is toxic to him. Overall, this book was frustrating, sad, but luckily still entertaining. Although, not as entertaining as the previous books have been.
The Killing Dance (Anita Blake #6)
Dating both a vampire and a werewolf isn't easy. But just to complicate Anita's already messy life, someone has put a price on her head. Love cannot save her this time, so she turns to Edward, hitman extraordinaire, for help. But finding the person behind the threat won't be easy, because as both a vampire hunter and zombie reanimator, Anita has made a lot of enemies-both human and otherwise.
Anita, Anita, Anita! Oh she defiantly plays with fire in this book. And Poor Richard!! More of her character comes out again but it's easily missed. I think the first time I read this book, I overlooked it.
Although Anita says she doesn't like monsters, I believe she is turned in by them. We saw this a little bit in the previous book with Jean-Claude but it is more obvious in this book with Richard. When they go into his room for what Anita thinks will be the break up talk, Richard transforms a couple fingers into claws. Although this scares Anita, she ends up going further with Richard than they have gone before while he played human. It makes the reader wonder what would have happened if they weren't interrupted. This side of Anita comes out again on her date with Jean-Claude. She wears a sex short dress with a teddy underneath. Anita provides a lame excuse for the outfit but I believe she likes playing with what she refers to as the monsters.
Like I mentioned above, I feel bad for Richard. In this book, Anita bullies Richard into changing, accepting his beast, and killing. But once she sees how scary an Alpha wolf can be, she wants nothing to do with him. It probably doesn't help that Richard transforms into his wolf right on top of Anita. But did she really have to run and sleep with Jean-Claude? I don't blame Richard for leaving her. She deserves what she gets even if I wish things to be different.
Anita has all three marks now and will forever be bound to Richard and Jean-Claude.
I'm not sure how I feel about Anita's actions in this book. She is a complicated character who has a lot of faults.

The final phase of public involvement in a new Local Plan for the whole of Northumberland starts today (Wednesday 30 January).
Public consultation on this 'publication draft' plan will run for six weeks - until Wednesday 13 March.
Unlike previous consultations, at this stage the council has to ask specific questions. These are around whether the plan is 'sound', whether it is legal, whether it is an appropriate strategy and whether the council has worked with neighbouring authorities and other organisations to address strategic issues.
The local plan must comply with planning law and be in line with national planning policies. It must also have been prepared using robust and credible evidence, have properly assessed the need for homes, jobs and infrastructure, and be able to demonstrate that the plan can be delivered.
The council welcomes comments in these areas - which are also the questions that the independent Planning Inspector will be asking as part of the examination later this year. Guidance will be provided for respondents.
In order to provide maximum opportunity for people to find out more, ask questions about the plan, and receive advice on how to make comments the council has arranged 23 drop-in events at community venues right across the county.
It has been designed to grow and diversify the economy of Northumberland, and identifies measures to enable 15,000 new jobs to be created in the county by 2036.
Aiming to protect the Green Belt from new development and preserving the special qualities of Northumberland it will also identify where new homes will be built and where new services and infrastructure are needed to support communities.
Councillor Peter Jackson, leader of Northumberland County Council said: "I'm delighted to launch this final consultation on the plan before it is submitted to Government, and encourage everyone to take a look and have their say.
"Through the plan we will make sure that Northumberland is a great place to live, work and visit, and that we truly address the future needs of our county. We want to send a strong message that Northumberland has ambitious plans for growth, while also protecting everything that is special about the area.
"This plan is ambitious, and uses the latest evidence as an appropriate basis for its proposals. We are optimistic about the prospects for our county and we will make sure that Northumberland works for everyone and for all of our communities.
"We want to see the right development in the right places. We want to provide homes for all, and extend choice in the housing market, but are not proposing any new housing allocations in the Green Belt.
The publication draft plan, including an interactive map, are available on the council's website www.northumberland.gov.uk/localplan - where you will find details about drop-in events and how to respond to the consultation. An online form and guidance notes will help you to provide your feedback.
You can also view copies of the plan in libraries, customer information centres and council offices.
Consultation closes at 5pm on Wednesday 13 March 2019.

— who has not been seen at the hospital where Brown lies in a coma in nearly two weeks — has found his own way to pay tribute to the music scion.
Gordon tweeted an image of a new tattoo of Brown's name on his arm on Monday with the message, "Thank you for all your prayers. She is a strong person and will pull through this. Continue to pray for her." He has a tattoo of Brown's late mother Whitney on his other arm.
Gordon is reportedly at the center of a criminal investigation over why Brown was found face down and unconscious in her bathtub on January 31. She has been in a medically-induced coma ever since.
Though the family claims her condition is improving, TMZ reports that Brown's organs are shutting down and reliable family sources say at this point it doesn't matter if life support is withdrawn or not — the end is near for Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's 21-year-old daughter.
According to reports, Bobby Brown decided against pulling the plug based on his religious views. He is saying he will do what it takes to keep his daughter alive, whether or not there is long-term hope for her condition. Some members of the Brown and Houston families disagree with his decision but will respect it.
The music scion was found unconscious in her bathtub over two weeks ago, just shy of the three year anniversary of Houston's death of eerily similar conditions. She was placed in a medically-induced coma and though she showed an improvement in brain function in the days following, doctors reportedly say her condition has since deteriorated and there's virtually no hope that she'll wake up.

Esri's recent release of world-wide Landsat data via image services is pretty sweet. Sweeter yet are the apps built around those services to compare and explore them. To get the most out of those services you'll want to take advantage of the MosaicRule property on the ArcGISImageServiceLayer. The mosaic rule allows you to control which rasters should be rendered, their ordering, and how overlapping pixels are resolved between rasters.
Here's an example pulling in their Healthy Vegetation dataset. First, we'll spin up the layer.
Next, we'll apply the mosaic rule.
UPDATE: The latest version of the ArcGIS API for Flex 2.3.1 fixes issues with the MosaicRule. Previously, properties not set were sent along to the REST API as "null" values which are not currently supported. Now, null properties are no longer sent to the REST API.
With this rule, we're specifying that the most recent imagery be displayed on top. Now, these services are "time aware" and their catalogs contain imagery from 1975, 1990, 2000 and 2005 (known as epochs). So, using the code above will render imagery for the 2005 epoch on the map.
But what if we wanted to see healthy vegetation for 1990? Perhaps flip back and forth between the two epochs to compare change over time? Simple. Just tell the layer to respect the time extent on the map as follows.
Then set the timeExtent on the map manually or via the TimeSlider component.
Anyways, head over to their Landsat page and see their apps and services.

Well, that's a nice surprise. Thanks for the invite. Not entirely sure of how all this works, but…having slowly morphed into a horrifically boring 2-dimensional creature, it might be difficult to find five of …anything.
– Must have; a long conversation with my niece Olivia. I will simply refuse to depart this plane of existence without assurance of her safety and security.
– To somehow find a way to forgive Olivia's mother her shortcomings. This would involve being a much more advanced spiritual entity. Very difficult.
– That's all I've got right now. But not bad for a 2D guy.
– Where are my glasses?
– Do you like scallions?
– No, really…Bach and Julie Andrews!
Glory- probably over a hundred or so, since 1989. Denzel, Matthew, Morgan, and Cary in their early days.
Gettysburg- when the mood requires. Jeff Daniels as Col. Chamberlain. Well done.
Dances with Wolves. I'll usually stop to watch a bit of this.
Well, there it is. That turned out to be more fun than I thought. Thanks again!
It's a great sign that this music totally regenerates and re-invents itself again every now and then. After all the God-awful junk that the ' music industry' pushes down the chute… Uncles Plante, Jones and Page are most pleased.
I really wanted to be able to write that it had never happened before. That it was a brand new thing under the sun. That would have been just neat to be able to do.
But the damned internet strikes again. I had to go and ask the question.
And consequently found that the thing is not new, and that the central focus of my post had actually done it himself, may have very well been the first to do it.
Eric Van Lustbader has done it, keeping Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne character alive.
Max Allan Collins, too, with Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer.
I speak of Robert B. Parker. His venerable Spenser has been carried forward by Ace Atkins.
And Michael Brandman has continued on with Jesse Stone.
And I am very pleased to report that they're thankfully good at it.
I recall the uncomfortable and dreadful feeling of finally reading the very last few pages of Sixkill, the last novel written and published by Parker himself. It was like drinking the last few drops of fresh water on a deserted island, and knowing that you're really truly and forever finished. Done.
But in some few cases, the work is so strong that it simply cannot perish. Hawk, Spenser, Susan Silverman and Chief Stone are still with us, carried forward like fallen battle flags. The writing style has been meticulously studied and recreated, and serves tremendous honor to the originals. It's quite like listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn play ' Voodoo Chile". You know it's different, but the veneration for the style transcends all.
