Urgent! Looking For Drop Off Locations For Earth Quake Relief!
QuakeHelp.net is desperately looking for regional sporting goods stores that will act as a drop off location for people donating sleeping bags and tents for the earthquake relief effort.
They are looking for regional stores so that they can get this up and running yesterday rather than going through some large headquarters for permission.
You can login as QuakeHelp.net with the same password (QuakeHelp.net). Once on the map there is a link to login in the bottom right corner. Once you are logged in you can add a location by clicking "Add Markers" in the bottom left corner.
Please help and spread the word so that we can get this working as quickly as possible.
There's no reason you should have to do this. So for my part I made it so that you can paste the multiline address directly into the "Add By Address" box in CommunityWalk. This should make it a little easier to add locations by address.
Thanks Hanford for the idea.
I've received a number of enhancement requests from people, but probably the most frequent and vocal request was for a way to speed up the process of adding and editing information on a map with a large number of locations.
Well I have finally been able to get something in place to alleviate this pain. When you are editing your map you can now put the application in to Quick Edit Mode. You'll see a link for this just below the CommunityWalk header down in the Message Center (the area that glows yellow when a new message comes in).
To put the application in Quick Edit Mode click "Switch" where it says "Full Refresh Mode". In Quick Edit Mode the application will not refresh all the locations and tabs whenever a change is made to a location. This means that the tabs and the locations will get out of sync, so you'll need to click "Refresh" to sync everything up. This will speed things up considerably when you are making changes to a map, especially on maps that contain a large number of locations.
About a month back I did an interview with CNet for a series they are doing around user generated content. Well they just released the article and it looks good. This part of the series details the mapping revolution that is taking place on the web right now.
I just finished putting the final touches on the new "window" function. The purpose of this function is to provide some more flexibility over what you can display in the context of the map. Specifically it was meant to allow people to display panoramic photos in a map, like the ones Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith has taken of London.
In fact, Dr. Hudson-Smith visited San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and I had the pleasure of driving him around to take a few panoramics of San Francisco. We were only able to take four pictures, and he has only had time to convert two of them into the quicktime format, but I am just too eager to show off this new functionality, so I went ahead and made a map of the two pictures. I'll be adding in others as he finishes them.
The panoramics are not hosted on CommunityWalk. I don't yet offer a solution for that. Instead the window function allows you to display anything you want on the map using an IFrame. This allows you to display any other website in the context of the map.
I decided to do it this way so that you would have the maximum flexibility over what content you displayed and so that you can provide more explanation about these links to your viewers. This explanation may be something like "Requires Quicktime" or "May take a moment to display", etc.
You can choose to display the IFrame with or without scroll bars and with or without a larger view. You can also designate a maximum size for the larger view. You can find more extensive instructions for this functionality in the forum.
There may very well be some bugs with this and I'd love to hear any feedback people have. So please leave comments or drop me an email to report bugs or let me know what you think!
CommunityWalk has been down for over an hour now. I've been talking with my hosting provider and he assures me that it will be back up within a half an hour and that he will be putting CommunityWalk onto a new server to prevent these problems in the future. If this happens again though I will be switching hosting providers.
I am absolutely committed to making CommunityWalk a stable service that people can trust and I will put as much money and resources towards that goal as necessary.
I just finished upgrading the geocoding capabilities of CommunityWalk. Now the U.S. addresses are more extensive and accurate and there is Canadian data as well. Also the geocoding service, provided by Yahoo, offers far more information levels of granularity than the previous service provided by Geocoder.us. This means that I should be able to develop functionality that will let you zoom to a city or zipcode to make the process of adding markers by click more efficient. I'm not sure exactly when I will be able to put such functionality in place, but it shouldn't be too far out.
So after about 2 days of hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out why CommunityWalk was crashing Safari I finally discovered the problem. Of course this led to 2 days of hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out how to fix the problem.
Well I think I've finally done it. The result of my efforts can be seen on CommunityWalk right now. Safari, as far as I can tell, no longer crashes, but there are still other bugs (sometimes the photos display wierdly - if you see this try to click on the photo again - and much of the editing functionality is broken). With this major bug out of the way, though, I am much closer to making CommunityWalk completely Safari compatible. I will hopefully be able to bring it 100% of the way this weekend or early next week (fingers crossed).
In any case, please let me know if you see any bugs. This change was a fairly major restructuring, so I am worried that I might have introduced some other bugs, but hopefully not.
So today's been a bit hectic. There was a period of about an hour or so where CommunityWalk was down. I finally got through to my hosting provider and they got it back up and running. I am going to work very hard to make sure outages do not happen. It is a very high priority.
In other news I am very close to fixing the bug that causes Safari to crash, I just need to test it a bit and make sure I didn't break anything else. It looks good though. The fix doesn't address all of the Safari issues, but it does stop it from crashing. I'll be looking to fix the other issues asap.
Also Yahoo just released a way to geocode Canadian addresses (and probably US addresses more accurately than I am able to currently do on CommunityWalk), so I'll be working hard to utilize this free service to make the Add Marker by Address functionality more powerful.
More to come on all of this soon!

(November 24, 2008) We would like to introduce you to Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, the founder of Cheetah Learning (www.cheetahlearning.com), and author of Cheetah Negotiations and Cheetah Project Management. The Project Management Institute (www.pmi.org), recently selected Michelle as one of the 25 Most Influential Women in Project Management in the World, and only one of two women selected from the training and education industry. She is a graduate of the Harvard Business School's Owner President Managers (OPM) program and also holds engineering degrees from Syracuse University and the University of Dayton.
When I talk to people about Project Management, I often hear: "How does it apply to me and my job?" People have the idea that Project Management is for IT people or government contractors who are managing large, complex projects. While Project Management is definitely critical to those kinds of projects, where I've seen the most impact from Project Management is as a life tool. I consider it a cornerstone of my success because I've used it to manage the biggest project of all: life. And, from what I've experienced, life is a series of projects.
Here are the five key areas where I've used Project Management in my life and where you can use it too.
Think of all the aspects of the comforting word "Home." First, there's buying one. Buying a home is a very important project that can take a few weeks or several months. It requires research, planning, documentation and you definitely need a system in place to capture everything you learn, so you're ready for your next purchase. Then, there's building one. I've built several houses and my project management skills have been invaluable. One key reason is that it's easy to miss major milestones in construction, and managing the timeline, deadlines, and contractors is critical. You also need to be crystal clear on roles and responsibilities, so you know who is doing what and when. Even renting an apartment or house, requires project management. You need to discern your budget, focus on the geographic area that meets your needs, and then begin looking at apartments that meet your criteria. When people don't think through the process, they often end up with an apartment that doesn't fulfill their criteria, and then they're bummed. If they had created a project plan and established clear criteria for success, they would be sitting in the apartment closest to their ideal vision. And the most fun part of the home is what gives Home Depot and Lowe's the reason to exist: home improvement. Whether you're doing a major renovation or you have several smaller home improvement projects, project management can help you map out your plan and make sure you get there on time and on budget.
When you ask people what's causing them stress, if it's not work, many times it's all the family obligations that they are juggling. From the financial management of a family and a household to holidays, birthdays, celebrations, and soccer practice, all of the elements of being a family require management. There's a reason that Mom's are often multi-taskers: because they have to be. Some of my best employees have been Mothers because without even realizing it, they have created systems to manage their families. Think about the accountability charts that are often on refrigerators. They outline the project, roles and responsibilities and deadlines. Then, there are communication systems for the family. Today, that's often cell phones, texting and Instant Messaging, but the refrigerator memo still works wonders, too! And, when there's miscommunication, nothing sets it straight like a milestone meeting 'round the kitchen table.
Managing your career is a job in and of itself. You need to continually assess the environment that your work in for opportunities and possible threats. You also need to know what your appropriate risk level is before you make changes. And, then once you decide what your goal is, then you need the project plan to get you there. Maybe you want to start your own business or gain a professional credential. (I'm obviously biased toward the PMP� -- the project management professional certification.) Or maybe you want to go back to school or change departments within a large company. No matter what your goal is, you need to manage it like an individual project. If it's a big goal, break it down into all the projects required to get you there. If you're a fan of the BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) like I am, then it's even more important to break that goal down into bite-sized projects. It's a powerful exercise because it makes the impossible, doable.
I think working in your community or volunteering at non-profits is a great way to develop your skills. And, from my experience as a volunteer, most organizations need people with project management skills. If you're already active in your community, you know that those activities also need to be managed. You have to decide what your time commitment will be, know what their expectations are of you, how to match your skills to their needs, and what deadlines or specific dates that you'll be needed.
There was a reason that the "hockey mom" message struck a chord in this last election. It's because parents everywhere can relate to managing their kids sports schedules. If there is more than one child in a household, coordinating clubs, sports and extracurricular activities can seem like a full-time job. Project management turns the chaos into calm. This is a good one to get your kids involved in. Get out a large family calendar and map out all of your commitments. You can also create an electronic family calendar on the web that everyone in the house has access to. If you treat your family's fun activities and even vacations as projects, you not only help yourself, you are also teaching valuable life management skills to your children.
As you can see, we're just scratching the surface here. Stay tuned for four more articles. Next up, we'll look at how you manage your projects in life translates into your work success. Then, we'll take a look at the basics of project management and how to incorporate them into your life. And finally, we'll give you more tips and tools for taking project management on the road in the virtual world and how to run like a Cheetah. That's the fast, fun and easy way to master your world with project management.
Cheetah Learning is a virtual company and has 100 employees, contractors, and licensees worldwide. Cheetah Learning was just named "Professional Development Provider of the Year" by the Project Management Institute. She broadcasts the "Your World, Your Way" radio show from www.cheetahradio.com.
Her articles have appeared in over 100 publications from around the world. Her monthly column, the Know How Network, is carried by 400 publications, and her monthly newsletter subscription list includes more than 50,000 people. To date, more than 30,000 people have become "Cheetahs" using Cheetah Learning's innovative Project Management and accelerated learning techniques.
Michelle has been running her company virtually for the past 20 years. She has grown the company 100 fold in the past 20 years, and she credits her success to using the Cheetah Project Management method to better manage both people and technology. Michelle's mission is to help people achieve great results, FAST, by making it fast, easy and fun to learn and do Project Management.
She lives in Nevada with her family and likes to rejuvenate in Alaska where you'll often find her kayaking, golfing or hiking.

J&K Journey of Development: Life in the valley after 370
Written by Bharat Express English October 18, 2022
After the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir caught the pace of development, and the latest data is the testimony to the fact.
The recent figures in Jammu and Kashmir display quite comforting results post the 370. The state is seen to be the top in proper implementing the schemes of the central government. The special thing is that after the removal of Article 370, all-round growth is visible here. Be it infrastructure or the Human Index, the pace of development in Jammu and Kashmir is very fast and the figures are giving testimony to it.
Better lifestyle in J&K than in the country
Education, health and food are the basic parameters in people's lives. If we look at Jammu and Kashmir on the basis of this scale, then it looks now much better. While the death rate in the country is 24.9 per 1000, the number in Jammu and Kashmir is only 9. Infant mortality rate is also 16 against 35 in the country. The condition of Union Territory is also very good in sex ratio. Where the sex ratio of the country is 929 per 1000 thousand, it is 976 in Jammu and Kashmir. Similarly, the average age of the country is 74 years here as against 69 years. While the average of healthy children in the country is 76.3, in Jammu and Kashmir it is 96.5 percent.
While the average household income in the country is Rs 10,218, in Jammu and Kashmir it is Rs 18,918. Similarly, this union territory is in a much better condition in terms of per capita income, energy consumption, teacher-student ratio and forest area.
Good governance and transparency
The reins of Jammu and Kashmir are in the hands of its LG Manoj Sinha. Manoj Sinha, however, is known for his administrative work. On the basis of long experiences, here he made transparency an important tool in economic functioning. In which no work can be approved without administrative permission and e-terring. Ensuring 100% physical verification of any work, GEO tagging and photography before and after work is the norm. The budget allocation of the entire work is done online.
The proof of the delivery of public service is the Empowerment Portal. Full working details are available here. Till now the details of 38,688 works are available on this portal. In the index of Good Governance, Jammu and Kashmir has topped for all these reasons. Its position is much better than the country in implementing the works at the district level.
Curbing arbitrariness of officials
LG Manoj Sinha has made technology a big weapon to take the policy of Good Governance to the people. Through the 'Vigilant Citizen' app and portal, citizens can register a case of corruption or harassment of any officer or employee 24 hours a day. Citizens can get information about their land through the portal 'Aapki Bhumi Aapki Prabandhan' (https:// landrecords.jk.gov.in). Citizens no longer need to visit any government servant or official for land records. So far 20 lakh 61 thousand citizens have seen their land records.
Apart from this, now all types of ground papers and manuals have been made online. Where citizens can easily get information.


Flying a jet in real life is no simple feat, but thankfully Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown does a lot to make it as easy as possible when you first jump in. Flight Sims are often notorious for their difficulty to control, but even a newbie to Ace Combat shouldn't have much trouble here. Either way, if you're looking to get your bearings in the skies then we've got the full PS4 controls layout listed below to help you out.
Practice with these controls, but if you're not fond of them then there are a few options you can change. By default, Deceleration and Acceleration are mapped to L2 and R2, while Yaw is on L1 and R1. You can swap these in the controller settings if you'd prefer.
Likewise, the default button for swapping between your missile slot weapons is Square, but you can change this to the touchpad (map by default). This setting can be found under the Radar Map/Switch Weapons category.
You'll also want to make sure you learn how to deploy flares in Ace Combat 7, as this is a crucial skill to keep you alive during dogfights if you're targeted by a missile.
Once you're practiced with Ace Combat 7's controls, you may want to try enabling Expert Controls. This can be done in the Flight System section of the Options menu.
Expert Controls changes what the left analogue stick does when pushed to the left or right, instead of yaw (turning the aircraft to face left or right), it will roll your jet instead. This makes it possible to pull off some flashy corners more easily, but does take a good deal of getting used to as it's unintuitive for most players.
You've now learned the full controls layout on PS4 for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, so are ready to get out there and conquer the skies. Good luck pilot!

I think most of the developers have at least power user level control over the machines they work with. Antivirus programs have always been the major source of slowdowns in Java IDE's and even if the program is dumb enough to perform checking of *.java or *.class files it would be a total waste of developer time to design useless workarounds for that.
Ask the someone from the 'maintenance' staff to configure your antivirus software so that it doesn't interfere with your work. It is simply the best solution to well known problem.
I personally don't have a full time antivirus toolkit (only a firewall and a manual check now and then) and I've disabled windows swap file. The performance difference compared to identical machines with both fulltime antivirus and swap file is huge.

Now that the 2014 World Cup has been named "the single biggest branded video event of all time," by Visible Measures, it's time to take a look at that massive global audience of online video viewers. Google found that YouTube dominated during the World Cup in terms of viewership and engagement. In fact, people watched more than 1.2 billion minutes of World Cup ads on the site.
Which country watched the most?
YouTube reports that 80% of the site's traffic comes from outside of the United States. It's no wonder, then, that this worldwide event generated overwhelming interest in and engagement with related video content. So what exactly is YouTube like around the world? YouTube Downloader created this infographic earlier this year to give you a little glimpse.
Global audiences are constantly consuming video content. Whether you're a large brand or small business trying to reach an international audience with online video, the opportunity to engage via video is tremendous!

Sen. Josh Hawley objects to Biden's victory in PA after pro-Trump mob storms Capitol
Sen. Josh Hawley objected to President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania during a joint session of Congress that continued just past midnight Thursday.
The Missouri Republican resisted intense peer-pressure from fellow conservatives who urged President Trump's allies to cease objections to swing state electors after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol building shortly after noon Wednesday.
The objection was announced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), who said 80 House members and Hawley opposed certification of the state's electors.
The objection triggers up to two hours of debate in the House and Senate, which will separately discuss and vote on the electors.
A similar objection to electors from Arizona was crushed 93-6 in the Senate and 303-121 in the House.
Hawley told The Post prior to the break-in, which delayed proceedings, that he did not expect to overturn Biden's victory, but wanted to force a debate on alleged voter fraud and election irregularities.
"I think there's no votes for that,

Three-D Issue 25: Corporate sabotage and the future of the BBC
The figure of Rupert Murdoch looms large in defences of the BBC, and whilst we should not imagine that the recurrent political wrangles over British broadcasting can be reduced to the power and interests of News International alone, Murdoch and his associates have certainly played a central role. Understanding the politics of British broadcasting, however, requires not only that we recognise the ideas and interests of the BBC's private sector rivals, of which News International is something of an exemplar, but also that we recognise the extent to which those same social forces have eroded the principles and practices of public service broadcasting at the BBC.
In 1989, Rupert Murdoch gave the UK television industry's prestigious MacTaggart lecture, declaring his 'suspicion of elites, including the British broadcasting elite'. Reactionaries, no matter how powerful, always like to portray themselves as outsiders and as critics of the Establishment, and Murdoch was for a time particularly adept at this, berating the BBC for its condescension of popular tastes, and championing consumer choice as a means of democratising cultural life.
Part of the reason this rhetoric has been so effective is that the BBC was and is thoroughly elitist. Then, as now, it was closely tied to the world of Westminster and Whitehall, and its senior staff were disproportionately drawn from the private school and Oxbridge educated upper middle classes, as reported by the Sutton Trust and by the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission. Rupert Murdoch went on in his lecture to proclaim that 'restrictions on the freedom to broadcast, of course, are not compatible with a mature democracy' and praised competition over monopoly. Irony apparently escapes him. On the brink of his takeover of Times Newspapers, his organisation already owned the daily and Sunday newspapers with the largest circulation, and the key issue was whether his bid would be referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission. A year after his MacTaggart lecture, Sky TV Ltd would merge with its only domestic rival in cable and satellite, British Satellite Broadcasting.
How can the sort of corporate consolidation which has characterised the UK media since the 1960s deliver authentic consumer choice, and why would a private company be more capable of delivering popular and democratic programming than a public corporation? In truth this has always been more of a question of faith than science, but the theory championed by Murdoch and others has been that competition makes broadcasters more responsive to the preferences of viewers and listeners. The reality has, to say the least, fallen somewhat short of the rhetoric.
Sky's business strategy, for example, has been based less on delivering the consumer what they want, than on buying up what the consumer wants and then selling it back to them. Media corporations like Sky have no special relationship with their consumers. They monetise cultural goods through privatisation, a strategy which depends on excluding certain members of society. It is for this reason that intellectual property laws are so crucial for such companies. Without the power to exclude cheaply replicable goods from free circulation, businesses are not able to profit from them. For the American economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen, intellectual property – a prima facie violation of the principle of free trade – would be a classic example of the 'sabotage' of production undertaken by businesses for the purpose of profit1.In the case of the contemporary media we have seen the 'sabotage' of culture and creativity, and of free and democratic communications, and there are no greater saboteurs than the Murdochs.
In 2009, it was the turn of Rupert Murdoch's son James to give the MacTaggart lecture. There was the usual rhetoric about 'trusting and empowering consumers'. But perhaps more revealingly there were complaints about the 'lost opportunities for enterprise, free choice and commercial investment' and the need to embrace 'private enterprise and profit'. Murdoch junior spoke of the 'theft' of 'creative work', emphasised the need for a 'robust defence of intellectual property', and most of all bitterly complained that 'state-sponsored news on the market makes it incredibly difficult for journalism to flourish on the internet.'
In reality, News International has been as much 'state-sponsored' as the BBC. The remarkable political largesse afforded the company would be starkly revealed in the subsequent phone hacking scandal, but it was even then already plain. The previous summer, David Cameron and his family had been flown on Murdoch's son-in-law's private jet for drinks on one Murdoch family yacht and dinner on another. The latter yacht subsequently sailed to Corfu where George Osborne and Peter Mandelson were both guests at a birthday party held for Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth. Later that year, Cameron wrote a piece in The Sun in which he declared that the BBC's 'squeezing and crushing of commercial competitors online or in publishing needs to be stopped.'
Remarkably, what was being complained of by the Murdochs, via Cameron, was not state restriction of consumer choice, but quite the opposite. The problem was that too many members of the public were choosing to use the BBC's website rather than those owned by News International. What was being advocated then was that the government should restrict consumer choice so that private companies can more readily exploit news and cultural production for private profit. In the current debate over the BBC, this has been made even more explicit. The government's controversial Green Paper claims that the BBC 'undermines commercial business models', and impedes 'the ability of commercial competitors to monetise emerging technologies' and 'develop profitable business models, such as paywalls and subscriptions, in existing and new markets.'
We have now reached a peculiar juncture. When the neoliberals were still in ascendency in the 1980s, technological developments seemed to be on their side. But whilst new technology certainly affords viewers and listeners more power over what they watch and listen to and when, the neoliberals failed to foresee the full implications of this. In fact, the emerging post-broadcasting technologies potentially represented a serious threat to corporate power. As Paul Mason has noted, 'Information goods are freely replicable. Once a thing is made, it can be copied/pasted infinitely. A music track or the giant database you use to build an airliner has a production cost; but its cost of reproduction falls towards zero.' The great historical irony is that the most efficient, innovative and creative system of communication and cultural production in such circumstances would be publicly funded at the point of production and completely free at the point of consumption. But the tragedy for the public service broadcasting tradition is that the contemporary BBC, so hollowed out by decades of neoliberal reform, now has neither the capacity nor the inclination to rise to the challenge and advance a vision of 21st century public communications.
The public service tradition, which the BBC is still felt to represent, has been seriously eroded since the forced resignation of Alistair Milne in 1987. His immediate successor as Director General, Michael Checkland, began a process of commercialisation under pressure from the Thatcher government and this was expanded and entrenched quite ruthlessly by his successor John Birt, who introduced a series of neoliberal inspired managerial reforms promising to deliver efficiency and institute a more 'business-like' culture. In combination with other factors, and especially the independent production quota recommended by the explicitly neoliberal Peacock Committee, these reforms transformed the institutional culture and structures of the BBC.
The extent to which the Corporation has been integrated into, and transformed by, the capitalist market, is evident from its leadership's response to the current threats from the Murdoch supported Conservative government. Writing on 'Tomorrow's BBC', the chair of the BBC Trust, Rona Fairhead, states that, 'the economic value of the BBC relies on a strong intellectual property framework to both protect and exploit its creative content in the UK and globally. Without the protection that this affords, the BBC and other content creators would find our strength as an economic powerhouse diminished and our power in global markets significantly weakened. It is, therefore, imperative that the BBC maintains a strong intellectual property regime.'
The BBC's response to the attacks coming from the corporate sector has, in short, been to emphasise the value of the BBC to the industry of which it is a part, and to offer to further integrate its operations into the private sector. This is not merely a strategic response to its enemies. It is the natural impulse of an institution which, since the 1980s has been thoroughly commercialised. In such circumstances those who remain loyal to the public service ethos, which still animates many within the BBC, need to do more than offer a defence of the Corporation as it is. They must be willing to criticise the BBC, to be realistic about its many failings and shortcomings, and to think ambitiously and creatively about how the values it is still thought to embody might inspire a modern, public and democratic vision of media and communications.

Show, don't tell: Indego strives for inclusion in advertising
by April Corbin, PeopleForBikes equity writer
For all the focus that innovative outreach efforts and community partners get, bike share systems should not overlook the power of traditional marketing.
Indego in Philadelphia isn't. Earlier this month, they unveiled a straightforward promotional video that puts their blue bicycles front and center while simultaneously showcasing an impressive amount of diversity of neighborhoods, people and activities.
According to Kiera Smalls, the social media and community relations manager at Indego, Nic Justice Media filmed the video prior to the bike share's April 23 launch in a variety of locations within the neighborhoods the system serves.
She says whenever they stumbled across "something cool happening" nearby, they would see if anyone minded them filming it. That's how the fun clips of the girls playing Double Dutch and the people in the park made it into the video.
"It was important for us to capture the diversity of our riders and our neighborhoods," says Smalls. "We wanted to make sure that somebody from Center City could look at the video and relate, and someone from North Philly can also look at the video and relate."
The video is a subtle but effective approach at addressing concerns people have long raised about bicycles being "kinda something that white people are into". It even includes a recreational ride taken by a family of color—something one member of an earlier focus group conducted in Philadelphiaexplicitly said she wanted to see.
These types of inclusive images will likely inspire a wide variety of people to give Indego a shot, and they will do so without alienating the folks who were likely to try bike share anyway.
And so far, people seem to be eager to give Indego a try. Operators announced last week that after just two months of operations, the system has reached a milestone: 100,000 rides taken, implying significantly faster growth than similar systems in DC, Boston and Denver. Indego, which is one of the first systems in the country that does not offer an annual membership, currently has more than 4,500 active 30-day members.
The Better Bike Share Partnership is a JPB Foundation-funded collaboration between the City of Philadelphia, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and the PeopleForBikes Foundation to build equitable and replicable bike share systems.

Anyone who's read Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" may be surprised to learn that the book was written almost a century ago. It was first published in 1936 and has since sold over 15 million copies.
Not many (if any) books that are 100 years old resonate today with the same fresh notes as this publication. The obvious reason, of course, is that it touches on a timeless topic— how to build long-lasting bridges to other people.
When I read the book, I found it to be very practical, intuitive and real-life driven. But I didn't quite get too many "wow-I-didn't-know-that" revelations.
What makes the book unique and outstanding, though, is that it teaches us how to take simple advice as "be honest, don't criticize, smile" and turn it from nice-to-have unconscious behaviour into deliberate and targeted winning strategy to influence others.
We all need to learn how to better connect with the world and develop "people intuition," Dale Carnegie believes–otherwise, we will be at a serious disadvantage in life. Learning to find common grounds with all stripes of people will, in turn, win us more friends.
There are two concepts are of grave importance to anyone's success, the book claims—networking and the ability to negotiate (i.e. to make others see our point of view). And we are given some great tips on how to do this on a conscious level—even with people that we don't like that much but are of importance in our lives, such as our managers, for instance.
An interesting question to the "critics" then is: what's the alternative advice on how to gain more friends and make our voice heard in the crowd? What harm can come from being polite and attentive—and if we can do it sincerely, then…isn't this simply priceless.
To me, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a well-written classic for self-improvement—for anyone who wants to progress their own circumstances and better their lives (which is pretty much everyone!).
It gives us some interesting ways of looking at people and our relationships with them. It teaches us to how change our thinking hats and be more accepting of others—of their weaknesses, flaws and imperfections.
And after all—wouldn't we, in return, want to be treated nicely, to feel accepted and appreciated by our friends, peers and acquaintances?

A Close Look at Air Jordan XXXV
It's been 30 years since the Air Jordan V hit the market and what I am looking forward to every year is undoubtedly the official debut of Air Jordan shoes. And I am sure many of you can identify with me. So when the latest Air Jordan XXXV was released, I was quite excited like many of you. Then take a look at the basic information about this one here. The size of this one is US9 EUR42.5 and a single shoe weighs 412g.
Starting with the Air Jordan XXXI five years ago, homage seems to have been the main theme of the AJ shoes in the last five years. So what homage can we expect from the Air Jordan XXXV?
The most obvious is undoubtedly the shoe tongue which impressed me so deeply. Such a huge, straight standing shoe tongue is undoubtedly the most obvious tribute.
Compared to Air Jordan XXXIV, is there any continuation of Air Jordan XXXV? Of course, there is. That is the newly upgraded core technology Eclipse Plate2.0 which is much more prominent.
This technology, which was first used in the Air Jordan XXXIV, has been inherited by the Air Jordan XXXV and it did dazzle me last year. It is beyond question that while maintaining a nice stability, the design also keeps the overall weight of the shoe at a very respectable level.
Although size 9 of Air Jordan XXXV weighs 412 grams, which is a significant improvement compared with size 9 of Air Jordan XXXIV that weighs only 380g, the shoe is not in the least heavy considering the vamp material and the improved midsole technology.
Although the Eclipse Plate used in the Air Jordan XXXIV last year was thought highly of, it is still imperfect and has some inevitable shortcomings. On the Air Jordan XXXV, the position of the Eclipse Plate is significantly moved back, and its area and thickness are also increased; on top of that, its perfect coordination with the Air cushion greatly decreases the probability of accidents.
The midsole of the shoes also stunned me: the front Zoom Bag+ the rear horseshoe-shaped Zoom Air is, in my opinion, too magnificent to describe.
Although judging from the shoe type, setups, it seems there aren't flaws in Air Jordan XXXV, there are still new things in it.
One of the new things is the brand new Flightwire which reduces the weight of the upper while providing sufficient support. In addition to that, hidden inside the Flightwire is a reinforced structure called the Kurim, which provides an extra and stable support for the upper.
However, I know that some of you may be thinking that Air Jordan XXXV seems a little too plain and commonplace in its appearance and the colorways are not enough to feast our eyes. But luckily, Air Jordan XXXV will also be available in another four different colorways that embraces three players' PE colorways.
On November 11, the DNA colorway, which pays tribute to the Air Jordan V Fire Red, is one of my favorites.
On November 30th, Zion Williamson's PE, the Bayou Boys colorway will be released.
On December 24, the Guo Ailan PE, the Morpho colorway will be released.
On October 21, the WARRIOR colorways will be released.
For this pair of Air Jordan XXXV, there are quite different views. Some think highly of its high-end setups while other are complaining about its appearance. But all in all, I think for a shoe to stand out in this field, it is the shoe's overall performance that counts. So let's wait and see what excellence would Air Jordan XXXV bring to us.

Q: Kubernetes cluster role admin not able to get deployment status I have the following role:
roleRef:
    apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
    kind: ClusterRole
    name: admin
When I do a kubectl proxy --port 8080 and then try doing
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/namespaces/cdp/deployments/{deploymentname}
I get a 200 and everything works fine. However when I do:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/namespaces/cdp/deployments/{deploymentname}/status
I get forbidden and a 403 status back .
I also am able to do get, create, list,watch on deployments with my admin role .
Any idea as to why /status would give forbidden when I clearly have all the necessary permission as admin for my namespace.

A: You mentioned verbs of the role and you didn't mention resources and apiGroup. Make sure the following are set:
  - apiGroups:
    - apps
    - extensions
    resources:
    - deployments/status

A: the status subresource doesn't give you any more information than simply fetching the deployment
The admin role permissions do not let you write deployment status. They let you create and delete the deployment objects, controlling the "spec" portion of the object. Status modification permissions are granted to the deployment controller.

Toronto's Haley Midgette Talks Us Through Her Debut EP and Journey to Stage and Screen
Yashira's Luke Barber on Tragedy, New Album 'Fail To Be,' and the Band's Future
In Interviews
Interview with Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One
It's hard to believe how many bands nowadays have either passed or are approaching their twenty year anniversary. Powerman 5000, in existence now since 1991, is still hard at work, writing, recording and releasing new music. Even though the band has gone through several line-up changes over the years, the one constant has always been frontman Spider One (also known for being the younger half-brother of Rob Zombie). The band hit its peak in popularity after the release of 1999's Tonight the Stars Revolt! which produced the hit singles "When Worlds Collide" and "Nobody's Real." The group's latest record is called Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere came out in October and is classic Powerman 5000. The band will be out touring behind the new record which should keep them busy for virtually all of 2010. Recently we caught up with Spider to talk a little bit about the new album and what's been going on with Powerman lately.
Your new album is called Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere. Now that it's just about the drop, how do you feel about the record?
Spider: You know it's funny I guess we just put up a listening party on some site that you can go stream the whole album and I actually did it and I was really excited to hear it you know, to hear it with fresh ears again in a different context. I haven't been this excited about an album in a long time, I feel like we really nailed it. We set out with a real specific purpose on this album which was to reclaim a certain sound that I think we had a big part in creating and bringing back that sci-fi element that really was such a big part of this band that we sort of strayed away from on the last couple of records and fans I think were really kind of wanting it back. And finally, those two things came together which was what we wanted to do and what the fans wanted and I think this album clearly just hits it out of the park. I really think that we captured the spirit of Tonight The Stars Revolt but we've gotten better, I'm a better vocalist, we've become better songwriters, I've got some new guys in the band who really understand how to construct a great song and so yeah, I'm thrilled man.
This is Powerman 5000's seventh studio album now and first in three years. What would you say is different or new about the new record in comparison to your previous album?
Spider: They're actually probably polar-opposites. Destroy What You Enjoy was sort of called 'Destroy What You Enjoy' for a reason, it was kind of me having to tear it all down because the band had been through so many ups and downs and so many line-up changes and people in and out… some people didn't quite fit in, you know it was just kind of a mess. So we tried to make this stripped down punk rock record, basically just kind of tearing it all down and all the fans said we hate this and rightfully so, back then I couldn't quite understand why everyone was so down on the album but now with some perspective I totally get it. You don't want Star Wars with no spaceships, you kind of expect something from a band and I know that record was a total left turn. But with the new album Somewhere on the Other side of Nowhere, it's the opposite, it's sort of a return and puts together all those pieces, I guess what people expect from the band and I guess what we do best, that sort of blend of metal and electronic and dance. So yeah, they really are polar-opposites and I think that it will be a refreshing return to form.
Now this title Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere is an interesting one. Is there a significance or story behind it?
Spider: Not really a specific story, whenever I write or I'm working on stuff I like to surround myself with stuff you know, when we track the music we always have some visuals going, you know Godzilla movies or something, if it sounds good while you're watching that movie you know it must be cool kind of thing. And the title just kind of popped into my head and it sounded to me like some kind of weird, trippy sci-fi novel or something you know what I mean? And it could be… it almost sounded classic rock but it was very futuristic sounding, you know is it positive, is it negative… I'm a big fan of like ah, I suppose interpretation, a lot of people often say "what's the message?" and I think that the whole point sometimes is that you know it's not what's the message, it's sort of like trying to find the message you know, search for the message, that's the fun part and I think that I'm a big fan of that. The title is definitely on track with that philosophy.
What was the writing and recording process like for Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere? How many songs did you write in total?
Spider: It was done in so many starts and stops, that's why it ended up taking so long, the days of the machine, the big label and all those things, they'd give you a bunch of money and you'd sit on your ass for a while, those days are gone, we had to work. We'd come home and we'd work on the record for a week but then it was like "alright we got to go make some money" so we'd go out and tour a little bit then come back home and work on the record for a little while. So it was very much stop and start but the advantage to that was that it really gave us time to live with some stuff and develop the sound of the record so it all feels very… you know it makes sense together. So that was sort of the way it was done and it was done in a very do it yourself way, you know Evan and Dave the two guitar players are very studio savvy so it was a real advantage to have that. It's very interesting that you can make a record now by yourself that sounds as good as those records that you used to spend half a million dollars making. I mean it's exciting, it should be encouraging to any kid out there who is sitting around complaining that he can't catch a break. The breaks are there man, you can do things now that you couldn't have dreamed of doing when we started, I mean I've been doing this for a long time. I remember back when we used to record our rehearsals on cassette tape you know what I mean? Now you can make a god damn record in your rehearsal space. But yeah, it was a very long process.
We didn't write a lot of songs, we had a lot of ideas but as my guitar players would agree I'm kind of picky so they would deliver a CD with thirty ideas and I would say "well, I kind of like one of them" and they would pull their hair out and go back to the drawing board. But you know, this is the first time I wrote an album with these guys so it was a learning curve you know in terms of what I liked and having to be kind of the last guy to put the stamp on it, they in some ways had to please me which isn't always easy. But we got it, I think that it took a while but we really gelled at the end and made some amazing stuff.
Now who took care of the production duties on the new record?
Spider: We recorded it ourselves. Evan is like the main guy and he's like this mad scientist who creates miracles with like the minimalist stuff, he just has this way. You know I think that that's proof positive that it isn't about the gear you have and how big the studio is, he just works in the most basic of pro tools situation and creates magic, he really is a talented guy that probably has a big producing career ahead of him, I'm always stunned by what he can pull off. But it was really a combination of everybody getting together and pulling it together, me being the guy, the puppet master you know "do this", "do that", "don't do that." I've always tried to stay away from learning the technical end because I think that it might slow me down a little bit.
Do you have a favourite track on the new album?
Spider: Ah, it sounds like a cop-out but I do like all the songs, I think they're all strong. I have some favourites, I mean I definitely like "Show Me What You Got" because I think it makes a bold statement of sort of the band being back, it's just such a great way to open up the album, just crushing you know. But another one I really like which is the sort of left turn in a way is this one called "Do Your Thing" which is just sort of like one of those super infectious songs and I hate to use the word pop because will think of pop and they think "The Jonas Brothers?" It still rocks and it's very Powerman but there's something about it and you know a lot of people have responded you know it was one of those risky songs we thought well either people are going to love this song or hate it and so far I've had more than one person tell me that's their favourite track on the album.
You just recently finished filming the video for the album's first single "Super Villain" with director Robert Hall. Could you let us in on what the video is about or the concept behind it?
Spider: Sure yeah, I mean it's an interesting idea, we thought that we wanted to frame the death of a super villain and the song would sort of represent his life sort of flashing before his eyes before he dies. The video opens with one last thunderous punch from a superhero to a super villain; the super villain goes down and loses his evil mask which coincidentally looks exactly like the robot masks that the band wears. The super villain is portrayed by this guy Jonathon Schaech who's an actor who's been in a bunch of movies but probably most known for his role in this movie called "That Thing You Do," I don't know if you remember that, that Tom Hanks movie and it had that song that you couldn't get out of your head about this band in the '50s called The Wonders. Anyhow, he came down and did a great job and played the super villain and so you know he goes down and you kind of get sucked into his brain and we have a great performance. You know we shot the whole thing on green screen which was weird, I've never done an entire video on green screen, we haven't finished the edit yet but it's a very challenging process. I can't imagine these movies that are made entirely on green screen, how they can keep track of what they are doing, it all looks the same you know. But yeah, we're in the middle of editing now, if I hadn't gotten so ill we'd probably be a little further along in it but we hope to have it done soon and hopefully everybody will dig it.
To promote the new album, you have a number of U.S. tour dates lined up until the end of November. You have so much material to choose from, what can we expect in terms of a set list?
Spider: Yeah it's always a challenge because you have those people who want to hear old stuff and you have the newer fans who don't really care about the first album. We like to definitely give a little bit, you know if we can, a little bit from each album. I'm definitely a fan of trying to give people what they want, you know I'm not one of these guys who are like "oh I don't feel playing 'When Worlds Collide.'" Man, that's why people come to the show, they want to hear particular songs. We try to stack it with you know, I use the term loosely but the hits, the most recognizable songs and then we put in the ones that we think are just great fun to play and we definitely want to put a bunch of new songs in the set but we also know that you got to ease people into that. So yeah it's always a challenge trying to figure out what to play but we do have a lot of material. We usually come up with a pretty decent set, we just did a show in LA and we tried out a couple of more new songs and people really seemed to dig them so maybe we'll add a couple of more new ones.
What is the song writing process like within the band? Do you do most of the writing or do the other members contribute a lot?
Spider: It's definitely a combination. The one thing I can say that I write everything is the lyrics and the melodies and stuff. But I'm not a musician, I never really claimed to be, I mean I can sort of get my way around a guitar a little bit and play a couple of beats on a drum kit but I'm that kind of guy. It's funny, when Dave the other guitar player joined the band he said to me "how did you guys used to write songs?" And I told him I would basically sing the riff and then the guitar player would figure it out and enhance it and he was like "ohh, I knew it, I couldn't imagine a guitar player writing these songs" which I thought was really funny, I took that as sort of a weird compliment. So sometimes it's like that you know, it's an idea, it's a sound or I have a riff in my head and I sort of sing it to these guys and they figure it out and make it better. But you know, on this album Dave wrote most of the music and Evan closely behind and you know with the rhythm section, there's a way a bass player plays that a guitar player doesn't really get so he comes in and adds his flair to it… the drummer always comes up with his own stuff. It's a collaboration and I've always tried to maintain that no matter how many member changes we've gone through, I always maintain it as a real band that functions as a band and it's not a solo project.
What does Powerman 5000 have planned for the New Year?
Spider: There will probably be some more touring, you know I'd love to shoot another video because I love to do that, it's just fun. I think we tour up until the end of November, then everybody kind of lays low for the holidays, maybe we'll do a few radio shows here and there and then we'll see where we're at in January. As terrible as it is to tour in the middle of winter, you know you always end up in the mid-west somewhere in a snow storm; most likely we'll be hitting the road again early 2010. [ END ]

NORTHSHORE PHOTOGRAPHY LECTURE SERIES: A Wing and a Care
Toxic Beauty »
Lecture by Shawn Carey followed by Q&A
Co-sponsored by Sweethaven Gallery and Firehouse Center for the Arts
Adults ($10), Students ($5) Plus $2 processing charge.
Snowy Owls, Atlantic Puffins, and American Kestrels are connected by more than simply a resemblance of form or function. A crucial thread ties them together: each one has an advocate committed to protecting it and educating others about its plight. Migration Productions' latest work, "A Wing And A Care," opens a window onto the lives of these three birds, and introduces you to the men dedicated to their preservation and survival.
"A Wing And A Care" follows the stories of these three men as they work to protect the birds they love, and shows how a single individual can make a world of difference in the life of a bird. And it asks a critical question: how can each one of us get involved and help build a better future for these incredible birds?

Family engagement has been widely accepted as one of the key factors that supports student achievement, reduces dropout rates, and positively impacts children's learning in many other ways. It is defined as the mutual, ongoing relationship between families and educators that is built on trust and respect and is focused on student learning and achievement.
With 4.6 million English Learners (ELs) in the U.S. public school system—over 9 percent of the student population nationwide—it is important to identify both barriers to and strategies for engaging families of ELs.
By taking the time to get to know the families of ELs—and encouraging the inclusion of their culture into the classroom—educators are able to develop a mutually respectful relationship that will enhance future engagement.
When working to increase family engagement, it is important that we as educators understand cultural differences that may be present, as well as how those differences might impact families' understanding of or ability to participate in the U.S. school system.
Researcher Yoo-Seon Bang described how a lack of understanding about routine events or activities in the U.S. school system can be a struggle for, or even inhibit participation by, families of EL students. Lack of knowledge about activities such as collecting Box Tops for Education or book fairs can lead to stress or embarrassment, resulting in reduced participation.
Schools must make it a priority to ensure that all students are able to successfully engage in activities, as many students and families are eager to do their part. This can be accomplished by providing clear, concrete information (in the home language when possible) to overcome the possibility of miscommunication or misunderstanding regarding activities and events.
According to research by Hill & Torres (2010) on the paradox of Latino aspirations and achievement and family engagement, Latino parents take their role in student achievement seriously and view their obligation as being responsible for teaching the cultural values that lead to learning. These values include dedication and commitment to task (empeños), the drive to succeed (ganas), and the effort that will yield success (estudios).
Rather than implicating parents as non-participatory or uninterested in engaging academically, it is vital that schools have open, respectful communication with parents to determine expectations, build on these virtues, and capitalize upon the desire to work hand in hand with teaching staff to provide a well-rounded education.
Boston-based high school teacher Jessica Lander uses the Remind app to communicate with parents in over 30 languages. She is able to check in with families, discuss student needs, and remind parents of assignments using her native English, and the app translates her messages to parents' native languages and vice versa.
Harvard researcher Karen Mapp demonstrated in a study on parent engagement that parents are not only eager to be involved in their child's learning, but when given the opportunity and when they feel welcomed and respected by the school community, their engagement can lead to outstanding results and a substantial impact on the the school at large.
The study took place at Patrick O'Hearn Elementary School in Boston, Massachusetts, and yielded a remarkable parent engagement rate of 90 percent. Mapp focused on what the school could learn from parents' own perspectives, as well as how parents' involvement has impacted the school in positive ways.
The school's high engagement rate is attributed to the work of parents themselves thanks to the creation of the parent-filled O'Hearn Family Involvement Committee, which has begun to have an active governance role in the school. This led to the formation of Family Outreach Program, Family Center, and Family Leadership Team, which were parent-driven and ensured families were encouraged to participate in a manner that made sense for them.
Family engagement is an essential component of student success across the board, but for ELs, it is especially important for encouraging continued language development and academic achievement, as well as for ensuring that schools are recognizing and capitalizing on the strengths of all families in the school community. By working to understand and demonstrate respect for the families of ELs, school personnel will not only see increases in student success, but will foster a supportive and inclusive community for learners from all backgrounds while building stronger schools in the process.

Seneca Meadows, Inc., announced the findings of a recent economic impact study assessing the landfill's total economic impact in Seneca County.
The study found that Seneca Meadows has a $72 million annual impact on Seneca County.
In addition, the study shows that for every $1 dollar in revenue generated at Seneca Meadows, $1.30 in economic activity is generated within the County.
Additionally, for every person employed by Seneca Meadows, 2.7 people are employed in the County. The study was authored by Apoorva Kumar, a student intern from Cornell University.
The study, which was the result of an internship opportunity with Seneca Meadows, measured the direct, indirect and induced impacts of the landfill's operation.
Input-output analysis and IMPLAN software was used to conduct the assessment. IMPLAN modeling is used by more than 500 universities and government agencies to estimate the economic and fiscal impacts on given investments/projects.
It was noted in the study that industries in the waste-management sector are often only talked about in terms of their perceived environmental issues.
Regional economic impact analyses provides a broader picture of comprehensive activities that include effects on the regional economy through employment generation.
The internship was arranged through a partnership between Cornell's Community and Regional Development Institute.
