Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other
https://www.politicsandreligion.us/feed.xml
Politics and Religion. We're not supposed to talk about that, right? Wrong! We only say that nowadays because the loudest, most extreme voices have taken over the whole conversation. Well, we're taking some of that space back! If you're dying for some dialogue instead of all the yelling; if you know it's okay to have differences without having to hate each other; if you believe politics and religion are too important to let "the screamers" drown out the rest of us and would love some engaging, provocative and fun conversations about this stuff, then "Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other" is for you!

What Do Politics and Religion Sound Like at Their Best? JAZZ!
On a recent trip to New Orleans, I happened upon musicians playing on Royal Street in the Quarter. To say it's worth sharing is an understatement. The experience reminded me of some of the profound thoughts I've heard from the great jazz virtuoso and ambassador Wynton Marsalis and the renowned theologian J. Kameron Carter. Jazz is what democracy and religion sound like when at their best: Faithfulness to the composition, brilliance of the individual players, within the context of playing amongst each other, negotiating with each other, lifting each other up, picking up where their partners left off, sometimes keeping rhythm, sometimes taking the lead, sometimes just listening - all for the music, all for each other.

Julie Mason Shares Shocking Truths of the MSM
(Originally aired 1/3/21, but that was a weird week as you might recall. Plus, Julie's wicked awesome!)
Julie Mason, a White House correspondent with the Houston Chronicle, Washington Examiner and Politico, has been the host of The Press Pool on SiriusXM's POTUS channel since 2011 and will now have a new show called Julie Mason Mornings @MasonMornings. What's it like to be in the WH press corps? How different is it from one administration to another? Are politicians and Press Secretaries different on camera vs. off camera? Which tv show is most accurate: West Wing, House of Cards or Veep? And of course, isn't the entirety of the "MSM" completely in the tank for Hugo Chavez's zombie army that took over the election?

Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism (Paperback)
George A. Akerlof (author), Robert J. Shiller (author)
The global financial crisis has made it painfully clear that powerful psychological forces are imperiling the wealth of nations today. From blind faith in ever-rising housing prices to plummeting confidence in capital markets, "animal spirits" are driving financial events worldwide. In this book, acclaimed economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller challenge the economic wisdom that got us into this mess, and put forward a bold new vision that will transform economics and restore prosperity. Akerlof and Shiller reassert the necessity of an active government role in economic policymaking by recovering the idea of animal spirits, a term John Maynard Keynes used to describe the gloom and despondence that led to the Great Depression and the changing psychology that accompanied recovery. Like Keynes, Akerlof and Shiller know that managing these animal spirits requires the steady hand of government--simply allowing markets to work won't do it. In rebuilding the case for a more robust, behaviorally informed Keynesianism, they detail the most pervasive effects of animal spirits in contemporary economic life--such as confidence, fear, bad faith, corruption, a concern for fairness, and the stories we tell ourselves about our economic fortunes--and show how Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and the rational expectations revolution failed to account for them. Animal Spirits offers a road map for reversing the financial misfortunes besetting us today. Read it and learn how leaders can channel animal spirits--the powerful forces of human psychology that are afoot in the world economy today. In a new preface, they describe why our economic troubles may linger for some time--unless we are prepared to take further, decisive action.

The effort itself makes their book a milestone."--Louis Uchitelle, New York Times Book Review "There is barely a page of Animal Spirits without a fascinating fact or insight."--John Lanchester, New Yorker "Akerlof and Shiller succeed, too, in demonstrating that conventional macroeconomic analyses often fail because they omit not just readily observable facts like unemployment and institutions such as credit markets but also harder-to-document behavioral patterns that fall within the authors' notion of 'animal spirits.' Confidence plainly matters, and so does the absence of it. When the public mood swings from exuberance to anxiety, or even fear, the effect on asset prices as well as on economic activity outside the financial sector can be large."--Benjamin M. Friedman, New York Review of Books "Two of the most creative and respected economic thinkers currently at work, George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, ... [have written] a fine book at exactly the right time."--Clive Crook, Financial Times "A truly innovative and bold work... At a time when plummeting confidence is dragging down the market and the economy, the authors' focus on the psychological aspect of economics is incredibly important."--Michael Mandel, BusinessWeek "Animal Spirits [is] ... the new must-read in Obamaworld."--Michael Grunwald, Time "[Animal Spirits] really applies to all the big areas where we need change."--Peter Orszag, Obama budget director (quoted from Time magazine article) "White House Budget Director Peter Orszag is a numbers guy, a propeller head as President Obama would say. But as David Von Drehle and I write in this week's print version of Time, Orszag has been spending his time recently reading not about spreadsheets, but about psychology. In particular, he has been reading a new book by the economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller called Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives The Economy, and Why It Matters For Global Capitalism... We are, it turns out, slaves to the Animal Spirits. They have brought us to our knees. And now they are the only things that can save us."--Michael Scherer, Time.com's Swampland "In their new book, two of the most creative and respected economic thinkers currently at work, George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, argue that the key is to recover Keynes's insight about 'animal spirits'--the attitudes and ideas that guide economic action. The orthodoxy needs to be rebuilt, and bringing these psychological factors into the core of economics is the way to do it... The connections between their thinking on the limits to conventional economics and the issues thrown up by the breakdown are plain, even if they were unable to make every link explicit. Even more than Akerlof and Shiller could have hoped, therefore, it is a fine book at exactly the right time... Animal Spirits carries its ambition lightly--but is ambitious nonetheless. Economists will see it as a kind of manifesto."--Clive Crook, Financial Times "An influential Democrat who was also one of the world's top-ten, highest-paid hedge fund managers last year thinks he knows which book is at the top of the White House reading list this spring: Animal Spirits, the powerful new blast of behavioural economics from Nobel prize-winner George Akerlof and Yale economist Robert Shiller."--Financial Times "Akerlof and Shiller remind us that emotional and intangible factors--such as confidence in institutions, illusions about the nature of money or a sense of being treated unfairly--can affect how people make decisions about borrowing, spending, saving and investing. Animal Spirits is an affectionate tribute to the man [John Maynard Keynes] whose ideas, unfashionable for the past 30 years, have resurged."--Nature "Animal Spirits is a welcome addition to our Hannitized national economic debate, in which anyone who advocates government spending risks being labeled a socialist... Animal Spirits is most compelling when the authors summon all the key behavioral patterns to explain vast, complex phenomena such as the Great Depression... Animal Spirits ... [is] aimed squarely at the general reader, and rightly so: Macroeconomics is now everybody's business--the banks are playing with our money."--Andrew Rosenblum, New York Observer "[A] lively new financial crisis book."--James Pressley, Bloomberg News "The two superstars have produced a truly innovative and bold work that attempts to show how psychological factors explain the origins of the current mess and offer clues for possible solutions. At a time when plummeting confidence is dragging down the market and the economy, the authors' focus on the psychological aspect of economics is incredibly important."--Michael Mandel, BusinessWeek "What Sigmund Freud did for the study of the mind, George Akerlof and Robert Shiller are doing for economics. Freud, healer or fake--take your pick--built a career and a field of medicine on the idea that people are driven by irrational forces. Akerlof, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley and winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in economics, and Shiller, the Yale economist who is the eminence grise of the housing meltdown, argue that massive government market intervention programs are the only way to turn fear into enthusiasm for spending and investing--the 'animal spirits' that are an essential part of recovery... Akerlof and Shiller pick up on the idea of the emotional impetus to investment. With elegant reasoning and lovely prose, they demonstrate that we'll all be wallowing in misery unless governments around world, especially the in the G7 nations, help to return markets to optimism... Animal Spirits is a fine discussion of the last few decades of development of economic theory, especially monetary economics."--Andrew Allentuck, The Globe & Mail "[T]his book is rather more than the usual lament about the failings of economics. Its authors are two of the discipline's leading lights... Most of the time, the unrealistic assumption of rationality serves economists fairly well. They should, however, be more prepared to depart from it, especially in times like these--even if that makes behaviour more difficult to describe in elegant equations. Messrs Akerlof and Shiller have therefore done their profession a service."--The Economist "With Animal Spirits we hone in on how incentives and narratives can be created to channel the human psychological factor into collectively healthy directions, and how to be aware of the fictions we tell ourselves about how we wish the world and greed and financial security worked. [Animal Spirits] sheds light on complex issues and leaves readers with a better grasp of undercurrents and--most importantly--a rediscovered belief in principles of common sense and caution."--Daily Kos "The new book from George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, Animal Spirits, has been getting a lot of press of late, and quite rightly: it's really good. It's not only very readable; it also offers a compelling vision of a very different type of macroeconomics--one where behavioral considerations are front and center, rather than simply providing what Clive Crook calls 'ad hoc modifications' to the standard, ridiculously oversimplified and unrealistic, model... [I]f you read only one book on this subject, make it Animal Spirits."--Felix Salmon, Portfolio.com "As George Akerlof and Robert Shiller show in a new book Animal Spirits, this is no freak storm. It may mark the long-awaited encounter between psychology and economics... Akerlof and Shiller's book is probably the first macroeconomic exploration of the subject that is accessible to those interested in the subject but who don't have the academic training to understand the detailed argument."--Mint "My book of the week is an easy one this time around: it's Animal Spirits, by Robert Shiller and George Akerlof... Admittedly, I'm biased as a fan of both Shiller's and Akerlof's. Believe me, however, when I say the blessedly brief Animal Spirits is a thoughtful and well-written look at how economics discarded psychology and lost its way on the trip from Adam Smith, through Keynesianism, to laissez-faire. The book puts the current crisis in a useful economic context, with consistent and practical selections from behavioral finance illuminating everything along the way... Highly recommended."--Paul Kedrosky, SeekingAlpha "Another contribution to the human-nature-ensures-economics-is-irrational school of thought. But, unlike many of the rants against people trying to make an honest profit, this is a measured examination of how the present crisis is explained in economic terms. And so it should be. George Akerlof is a Nobel prizewinner, Robert Shiller teaches at Yale and is the author of Irrational Exuberance, which should give you an idea of this one's approach. This fascinating work uses economics to explain real-life issues, such as real estate price cycles, to key policy problems, such as the relationship between inflation and employment."--Stephen Matchett, The Australian "George Akerlof and Rober Shiller's Animal Spirits is a plea to start believing our lying eyes rather than the model. Rather than try to explain away the apparent irrationality in human behaviour, Akerlof and Shiller say we need to try to understand it and shape policies that take it into account... The core message of Animal Spirits is that we should stop trying to cage the spirits and instead admit their central importance. Specifically, this means that world governments will need to intervene forcefully in the current economic crisis with both fiscal stimulus and direct measures to stimulate lending--to restore some of the confidence that the crash has sapped."--Matthew Yglesias, The National "In saluting Keynes' quip, Akerlof and Shiller argue that much of the story is in the unreliability and incompleteness of supposedly rational behavior--the micro-foundation of the free-market model. They contend that modern economics, even self-described Keynesian economics, has given short shrift to this core behavioral insight... Their best chapter is on the limited capacity of central banks to prevent or cure calamities."--Robert Kuttner, The American Prospect "Akerlof and Shiller take psychological research seriously, and it's refreshing to see that they're not trying to reinvent the wheel... The book is an interesting read and would probably be very useful for an undergrad class that needs an introduction to behavioral economics. A & S do a nice job of moving between the theoretical and the practical, the empirical and the implied. The writing is accessible and the topic is more than relevant to our current economic situation."--Orgtheory.net "Animal Spirits is succinct, clear and lively."--Brad Willis, Edmonton Journal "In an intriguing new book, Animal Spirits, US economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller argue that psychology plays a far bigger role in determining economic outcomes than economists realize--and that, broadly speaking, people get what they expect. If we think good times are ahead, we act confidently in a way that creates them. And if we expect a downturn ahead, we act defensively and unwittingly ensure that's what we get."--Tim Colebatch, The Age "The authors are right in pointing out the inadequacy of conventional economics in understanding, not to say addressing, today's economic woes, because they fail to take into account these animal spirits."--Wan Lixin, Shanghai Daily "[Animal Spirits] is a short, thoughtful and sometimes simplistic book that calls for a different vision of economics... Animal Spirits may well be a GPS system for a changing economic future."--Gene Rebeck, Delta Sky "Animal Spirits presents a rigorous case for the importance of 'confidence multipliers' and 'stories' in explaining recent market behaviour and of 'fairness' and 'money illusion' in preventing wages from falling in recessions to the market-clearing rate. Written in an accessible style, the book provides a very useful practical primer for policy-makers, practitioners and academics on many aspects of the current crisis. The authors also make a compelling theoretical case for macroeconomists taking more account of the role of non-economic motives and irrational responses."--Richard Bronk, The Business Economist "[T]he authors do a superb job of conveying the importance of bevaioural economics to a non-specialist audience. They increase our understanding of recent economic events and they show that animal spirits affect how governments should manage the economy."--Natalie Gold, Times Higher Education "Animal Spirits offers a road map for reversing the financial misfortunes besetting us today. Read it and learn how leaders can channel animal spirits--the powerful forces of human psychology that are afoot in the world economy today."--Money Science "[T]his very book seems to be one of the 'must-reads' in the Obama administration."--Andreas Ernst, JASSS "Ideologists are likely to dismiss this volume. However, for other readers--whether their perspectives are quantitative or qualitative--Animal Spirits may fill a troubling gap in existing investigations of the causes of booms and busts."--Thomas H. Wilkins, Investment Professional "Akerlof and Shiller's book is an interesting and thought-provoking attempt to understand how underlying human psychology drives the economy. The questions they pose and the examples they provide should be read by any economist seeking to better understand the differences between what economics predict will occur, and how people actually behave as individuals and within larger groups."--Dmitri Leybman, Midway Review "Animal Spirits, which attempts to leverage the insights of behavioral economics to reanimate the vision of John Maynard Keynes, is perfectly timed for the present moment."--Nick Schulz, Wilson Quarterly "Animal Spirits is exceptional in showing how economics can be accessible and relevant in dealing with this awesome challenge."--Irish Times "George Akerlof and Robert Shiller have offered an attractive road map for a macroeconomics that might be inspired by the recent financial crisis."--Romar Correa, Economic & Political Weekly "I believe this book to be best suited for those individuals who come from different fields but have a keen interest in economics and finance."--Kristina Vasileva, Journal of General Management "It is perhaps the ultimate compliment to suggest that Russia's greatest writer would very much have agreed with Barany's depiction of the Russian military--and that his approach is a superior one for understanding Russian military politics."--John P. Moran, Perspectives on Politics "More important than the timeliness of the book was the legacy that it leaves behind. This book helps us to understand as never before how macroeconomics really works."--Stan C. Weeber, Journal of Global Analysis "Akerlof and Shiller deserve at least two cheers--one for providing a more solid psychological foundation for our understanding of confidence and another for re-introducing such an important concept into mainstream macroeconomics."--Martin Rapetti, Eastern Economic Journal

This album is a mix of storytelling and songs. The story bits move the bear hunt along culminating in actually meeting the bear. They draw out some of the ridiculous aspects of the story, like not being able to go around the lake, and my kids filled all the awkwardness with giggles.

All puppies need the core vaccines because of the dangerous and contagious nature of the diseases they protect against. Core vaccines include those that protect against distemper, parvovirus, parainfluenza, hepatitis, calicivirus, and rabies, among others.
As the name implies, non-core vaccines aren't considered necessary for all dogs. They are recommended in certain cases, though, depending on exposure risk, environment, and other factors. One example is the Lyme disease vaccination, which is helpful for any puppy who lives in an area where ticks are common.
Puppies can start receiving essential vaccines as early as eight weeks of age. The initial vaccine regimen will conclude at about 16 weeks of age, and then puppies will need booster shots over time to keep vaccines effective. Booster shots are given on a yearly basis or in multi-year increments; ask your veterinarian for more specifics.
Does your puppy need his initial vaccinations? We're here for you! Make an appointment today with your Frisco, TX veterinary clinic. Learn more here.

Q: Using views.py variables in JS I changed my mind about how a user page is populated. Previously users would select a value from a drop-down and an AJAX call would go fetch some data. The working code looks like this:
HTML:

Experimenter: {{ request.user }}

Response Surface: {{ surfaceModel }}

<form action="">

        <select id = "selectRS" name="selectRS">
                        <option value="intro">Intro</option>
                        <option value="intro2">Intro 2</option>
                        <option value="welding">Welding</option>
                        </select>

</form>

JavaScript:
...
var levels = {{ dlevels }}; // dlevels is an integer
var mtx_data = {{ mtx_init }}; //mtx_init is a 2-d array
var rspSrf = document.getElementById("selectRS").value;
...
$.ajax({ ...

This works fine. But I now want to pass the value via the url, so I changed the JavaScript to this:
var rspSrf = {{ surfaceModel }};

And now the ajax won't work.
This is how the value of surfaceModel is being passed now:
url(r'^profile/intro$', 'prof_pages.views.profile', {'surfaceModel': 'intro'}, name='profile/intro'),

surfaceModel is a string, just like the drop down selection, so I'm not sure why it won't work.
I edited my code to show more of the working code.  I simply extended what was already working to try to pass a string along with the integers and arrays that are being passed to the js script.

A: the corrected code is:
var rspSrf = "{{ surfaceModel }}";

Even though the variable being passed is a string it still needs the double quotes.  the following reference showed the way:
http://www.mutaku.com/wp/index.php/2012/03/accessing-django-template-variables-in-javascript/
also update the title, hopefully it's clearer now
regards.

TicketSellers
Buy tickets for events
Why choose TicketSellers?
The TicketSellers works with Boomtown
The TicketSellers provides full-service ticketing for Boomtown
In this case study: How The TicketSellers has provided a full-service ticketing solution to Boomtown, the UK's fastest growing independent music festival for the last 10 years.
The TicketSellers began working with Boomtown in 2010 when both Boomtown and The TicketSellers were smaller, less experienced and about to begin a period of rapid growth.
Boomtown had heard that The TicketSellers was the number one choice of ticket agent for festivals due to our close involvement with Shambala Festival and sought our expertise in helping to delivering ticketing, accreditation and gate management to their event.
Reflecting our full-service offering, there were a number of ways in which we were able to provide support to Boomtown
1) High volume complex ticketing for the UK's fastest growing music festival
2) Crew and artist accreditation for the huge number of people working or performing at the event
3) Meal planning and redemption for the event's 5 canteens
4) Volunteer recruitment
5) Passout solution to allow people to leave and re-enter the event site
An event of the size and complexity of Boomtown really benefits from a full-service ticket agent rather than a self-service platform. This is how we help Boomtown deliver such a fantastic event year after year.
In order to meet the demand for Boomtown tickets we have a highly scalable ticketing website, www.theticketsellers.co.uk. It is easily capable of accommodating the tens of thousands of customers who are eagerly waiting online to buy Boomtown tickets the moment they come on sale.
Boomtown tickets aren't just about volume, we have a sophisticated rule builder to manage complex buying rules that govern which tickets can be bought alongside other tickets. Licensing and environmental concerns mean Boomtown want to encourage as many people as possible to travel on coaches so we also provide an integration with various coach companies to facilitate this.
Finally our 24/7 UK-based call centre is on hand to answer all customer queries leaving Boomtown to do what they do best – producing one of the most incredible events in the world.
Crew and artists
The team behind Boomtown isn't just the 100 or so people in their Bristol HQ. Thousands of crew descend on Matterley Bowl each summer to build a city out of nothing.
All these crew plus the thousands of artists and performers need a ticket, to complete a health & safety induction, to provide essential documentation etc.
Just like every event which sells tickets with us we provide Boomtown with free use of Eventree – our crew and artist management system. This allows each manager at Boomtown to have control of their own area in order to issue credentials to the people they need to make the magic happen. Health and Safety inductions must be completed online before crew can access their tickets, and all tickets are linked to wristbands upon arrival at the site.
Meal planning and redemption
Somewhere in the region of 50,000 crew meals are cooked and eaten every year at Boomtown, across 5 separate canteens. Boomtown need a sophisticated meal planning and redemption system to help coordinate this, and we are delighted to supply this in the form of Eventree. As well as being the best way to manage crew and artists working at your event, Eventree provides a full meal planning and redemption interface.
Managers can request meals for their team members who collect them on site with a quick zap of their wristband. Of course, dietary requirements, collecting meals in bulk and free passes for the event's directors are all supported, and the entire system works offline in the rain if necessary (this is England – it always rains).
After the event, detailed reports highlight teams who didn't manage to collect all their meals so that food wastage can be examined and reduced for future events.
As well as all the paid staff and crew Boomtown wouldn't happen if it weren't for the stellar efforts of around 2,000 volunteers. Recruitment for these begins early – usually around October the year before the event.
The team at Boomtown use Eventree to build application forms for the various volunteering roles and publish them online. Once applications are submitted the team can quickly shortlist them and respond to the most promising applicants with a few clicks of the mouse. Eventree takes volunteer deposit payments and, as you'd expect from a full-service ticket agent, we handle all the headache of auditing and refunding those payments after the event while the Boomtown team enjoy a well deserved break.
Passout system
Boomtown have sophisticated rules around leaving site and returning. Although you can leave at any time you can only re-enter the site up to 10pm. Furthermore attendees can only bring alcohol into the event on their first entry – subsequent re-entries are searched and managed differently.
In addition to this there are limits set as to how many times each person can leave and return, and of course there is other analysis which takes place to spot people trying to use fake, stolen or sold wristbands to access the event.
The TicketSellers has a sophisticated passouts system which manages all of the above, and more. Installed at every gate at Boomtown, the system is used to manage the access for all attendees, whether they are ticket holders or crew. Detailed reports highlight suspicious behaviour, pinpoint the busiest arrival gates/times and allow the all-important first entry with alcohol rule to be put in place.
Having worked with Boomtown for the last 10 years we have built an excellent relationship and rapport with the team. It's clear that our companies benefit from each other – The TicketSellers from the drive and vision of the Boomtown team, and Boomtown from the systems and service level that only a company specialising in the festival sector can deliver.
We look forward to the next 10 years working together.

Drone Rescue System GmbH Meets ASTM Standards
In June 2019, Drone Rescue Systems GmbH tested the parachute safety solution DRS-M600 according to the specifications of the ASTM F3322-18 standard. Drone Rescue's DRS-M600 system was developed for DJI M600 and DJI M600pro and is sold worldwide by the Austrian company. The successful completion of the ASTM standard test makes it possible for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue permits, e.g. for use over crowds.
Drone Rescues DRS-M600 autonomous parachute safety solution is especially light weight with about 430g and works without pyrotechnic. Therefore, the system can be immediately reused by simply attaching and detaching it via a bayonet mechanism. The flight tests were conducted on the UAS test site in Rome, New York, USA, in collaboration with Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research (NUAIR). The parachute safety solution was to be certified for a project in the USA in which the transportation and delivery of food to approx. 1500 households in North Carolina, USA, was to be made possible and safe. The
drones used are from the DJI M600 series.
The ASTM F3322-18 standard is the first standard for parachute systems designed specifically for small UAVs. Compliance with this standard is necessary for the FAA to permit beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights and flights over crowds. In addition to structural requirements, documentation and dimensioning, the standard also defines 45 test flight scenarios which must be successfully completed with the parachute. These include combinations of releasing when hovering and in full forward flight, with the minimum and maximum take-off-weight, automatic and manual release as well as a shock load test. Here the drone is brought into free fall for 3 seconds and only then is the parachute released. All test flights must be documented with videos.
"We are the first European company and the third company worldwide to meet this standard. As a result, our system for UAVs up to 15.5 kg such as the DJI M600 has been approved. Previous tests were only conducted with UAS up to 4.2 kg; therefore, we are the first to be able to offer a certified parachute safety solution for the higher weight
class. Meeting the standard for our weight class is much more difficult and we are incredibly proud of having achieved that. Our DRS-M600 functioned perfectly in all tests. All automated crash scenarios such as two engines failing in flight were detected quickly and reliably by the system. There was no false alarm," says Markus Manninger, CTO of Drone Rescue Systems GmbH.
"Thanks to the successful certification, the DRS-M600 can also be used in other application areas in addition to parcel delivery. Especially BVLOS flights can now be executed with the parachute safety solution as the FAA now permits this. This can play an important role in surveying operations in particular," continues Andreas Ploier, CEO of Drone Rescue Systems GmbH. The ASTM standard tests were conducted in collaboration with the company Flytrex, one of the pioneers in parcel delivery by drones. Furthermore, an important partnership between Drone Rescue and Lidar USA was established in the summer. Lidar USA specializes in laser scanning, photogrammetry and geomatics and offers the DRS-M600 to all DJI M600 users.
"Tests were also conducted with Lidar USA. The successful completion of the ASTM standard is therefore another step for our customers to obtain FAA approval for future applications," says Manninger. He is already thinking about other areas of application as well: "Other BVLOS applications, such as testing power lines, pipelines or cable cars but also the increasingly desired use over crowds, e.g. for television recordings in sports stadiums, at concerts, marathons or demonstrations, are quite conceivable," Manninger looks to the future.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are frequently used to deliver the results of environmental modeling assignments.
Blue Hill Hydraulics uses special GIS programming languages that enable us to deliver work products that combine spatial and time-dependent data. These stand-alone work products do not require the use of special software and permit the user to perform time-series analysis of the database information as required.
We have found these systems to be useful in distributing information to stakeholders involved in permitting exercises, and in explaining complex hydraulic issues to the general public.


When most people start off on a long drive, they tend to bring useful accessories such as maps, directions and perhaps even a little GPS navigation system. We however…decided against all of those. We had no map, we had no functional directions (technically we had directions – but given everything was in Arabic, they weren't exactly helpful). And while we also technically had two GPS systems, neither was capable of direction-based navigation – and instead they just stood by recording the whole adventure or transmitting it live.
We decided we'd drive across the country to Taba, which is at the top of the Red Sea on the border between Israel and Jordan. From there we'd drive down the coast to Sharm El Sheikh (Sharm for short), a resort city known for its diving.
At around 7:30AM we set out from the hotel…and within about 4 minutes we were lost. The directions didn't cover what to do when there was no road signs. Nor signs about upcoming cities, upcoming roads, or even the current roads.
So we switched to a navigational medium that's as old as the Pyramids itself…navigating by the sun. Since it was just after sunrise and we wanted to go east, we pointed the car towards the sun and headed east. What? You think I'm kidding. Nope, I'm serious – that's how we navigated across Cairo. As you can see…sometimes it worked out, sometimes not so much.
Eventually we bumped into a highway (without any directional signs either) and asked a few police officers. After they expressed confusion at us driving all the way to Taba, we decided on a closer goal – Suez. As in the Suez canal. It was only an hour away, and surely they could get us there. Without any English spoken we managed to hop from cop-stop to cop-stop getting hand directions (there are cops every few blocks/miles).
Eventually we found a sign pointing towards Suez and we knew we were on the right track. See, the only directions I did have basically said – 'Go to Suez, then continue onto Taba'.
Getting to Suez was quick. Then again…everything is quick at 150KMH.
Upon arriving into Suez we had one minor little problem. We thought we'd just be able to drive straight through town, over the canal and eastward into the sun.
It took many…many…many cop-stops to get this one sorted out. As you might see from the below driving. The end resultant actually involved a tunnel which goes below the canal. So we never saw the canal, but did get to drive under it. At that stage in the game we were counting our lucky chickens that we just figured out how to get to the other side of the canal. Going on a photo-safari to find the canal itself looked like an opportunity to get further lost (or shot by the military people guarding it).
Eventually we hit the Red Sea, well, technically the Gulf of Aqaba. In the process we came as close rather close to Israel. About a mile from the border.
Given the current situation we decided to avoid a crossing to just get a stamp in our passports. Further complicating matters is that Israeli stamps can be rather problematic for entry into other Middle Eastern countries (you'll get denied entry, although you can instead get stamped on a blank sheet of paper). Of note is that Jordan is also just across the water, a few dozen miles away. The pictures below have Jordan in the background.
However, the Red Sea was a welcome sight. After miles and miles of desert, it was nice to see some blue. And very pretty blue at that.
Above is Pharaoh's Island, just a mile from the border from Israel. And below are some Mosques, in the background is the country of Jordan.
Despite our excitement to see the water, it turns out it wasn't going to last. The road quickly turned back inland and we were into the mountainous deserts again, paralleling the strait.
We think this was a small pack of wild camels. We found them dozens of miles from the nearest building or humans.
One thing I forgot to mention earlier was how many military checkpoints we went through. We think at least a dozen, maybe more. There were spread out all over the country. Some were fairly fancy – like the one pictures above near the Red Sea.
However some were almost movie-link in their appearance. One in particular that was very memorable was way up in the desert at about 2,000 feet in elevation. With nothing for miles around there was a blockade in the road with machine gun mounts stationed on all approaching sides, troops standing at a simple pull-gate and extensive barbed wire fencing. It's exactly what you'd see in some episode of "The Unit".
However, rolling up was always fairly interesting. We'd have to have our passports and our Egyptian Vehicle permit on hand. The vehicle permit was a small card exactly like a drivers license with a fancy hologram on it. We'd roll down the windows and then hand them over once stopped at the dude(s) with the big machine gun.
See, in many ways it was reverse racial profiling – at least compared to the US. They saw us and were basically like "Umm…white dudes don't care about attacking us…see ya". Especially when they'd look at our passports. Which was also fodder for most of the troops. They'd look at it, laugh to their military friends in a surprised wow sorta fashion and say 'Look…Americonos!'. Apparently they don't find many of us up in there parts.
We never received any trouble (well, minus one gate guard that was confused with our lack of International Drivers License…but that's a different story…). And all were extremely friendly and helpful – very much unlike what we saw in Cairo.
Anyway…after a long road, we finally descended down into the seaside town of Sharm El Sheikh, a very popular resort town on the tip of the Sinai peninsula.
That's a LOT of driving! What a vacation.
fascinating. i'm surprised you could take photos of the checkpoints. great photos again as usual.
as to navigating by the sun: is there another way???
I am sooooo jealous! I'd love to have seen that part of Egypt.
Ah well, that'll have to wait until I introduce Goddess to the country.
Dude, when you get back we need to have some drinks and talk about this trip. This is so cool.
What an amazing trip! Bring on the next chapter.
The pictures of the Red Sea are beautiful. I did wonder if you were going to head near all of the trouble that has been going on over near Gaza.
I'm just now catching up…LOVING THIS!!!
I love going on vacation with you!
