FORMCEPT's approach to Telematics
"Connected cars have the potential to dramatically reduce the 1.2 million traffic deaths that occur worldwide each year"
– The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, June 2013
Since the first ever successful installation of car radio in 1930, telecommunications technology has evolved significantly. Our vehicles now provide an enhanced and safe experience by embedding the latest technologies and gadgets. The rapidly evolving mobile technology is driving the next phase of innovation in vehicles and becoming an integral part of the system which provides benefits like infotainment, assistance and navigation facilities on-the-go.
With these fruitful business opportunities, the automotive industry is gearing up to the challenge and it comes as no surprise that by 2022, the connected car market's worth is projected at staggering $422 billion.

This is an age of smart phones and we are slowly progressing towards "smart cars" that will soon become an everyday "common" term.
With a significant amount of time spent by human beings in vehicles on a daily basis, the adaptation of smart cars will bear rich fruits in the very near future. Commuting time and fuel costs are among top concerns for mankind, which can be easily dealt with the introduction of telematics technology in the automotive industry.
Future looks cool and we are making good progress but what about the data generated by these "Smart Cars"? The current age of "Big Data" is proving that you can improve and optimize whatever you can capture in terms of data. Now, think about an ecosystem of connected cars, that too hundreds of billions of them…
This strongly connected ecosystem of devices will generate huge amount of data at electrifying speed which is beyond the capabilities of traditional systems and relational databases. You need to think ground-up for the data infrastructure to handle these datasets and analyze them for predicting the future outcomes, like- failures.
FORMCEPT acknowledges the need for such a system which will ensure data capture and provide scalable storage for this high velocity of data. Besides reliable data management, FORMCEPT's analytics engine can analyze this data in real-time and provide meaningful insights on the fly that can help predict the future outcomes.
Lets take an example of Fleet Management that is apt for the smart vehicle scenario. The biggest pain point for a company managing a fleet of vehicle is to monitor all the vehicles in real-time and also reduce cost of maintenance and fuel consumption. With the advent of GPS devices, all the travel companies are now looking forward to embed these in all their vehicles to track them in real-time.
FORMCEPT picked up all the GPS data that was captured from these vehicles and augmented it with the Speedometer and Odometer readings to create a dashboard for monitoring the vehicles.
Further, we at FORMCEPT analyzed the internal data against the external public data available for the vehicle (Volvo 9400) to find out the optimal speed and amount of fuel that can be saved during the trip. The analysis results were helpful for better route planning, improving fuel efficiency and identifying rash drivers.
These images showcase how FORMCEPT captured readings of speedometer and odometer along a vehicle's route, identifying minute-but-significant details like various stoppages the vehicle made and the duration of these stoppages accounting towards the vehicle's total idle time.
The drill down analysis shows each and every aspect of the vehicle along the journey, including the driver's behavior.
The image below shows how the visualization of speedometer readings as well as odometer readings can be explored using a simple visual interface provided by FORMCEPT. Prominent features of vehicle trip evident from the visualization are-
Instances of over speeding
Number of stoppages along the route
Similarly, a drill down analysis of the route can be further explored by simple click-and-zoom mechanism. The visual interface comprehensively traces vehicle's path accurately on the map and indicates-
Source and destination on map
Exact route covered
Location and duration of stoppages
The odometer readings also give you an interesting pattern that the readings are being reset at frequent intervals along the route.
Further, FORMCEPT, both with internal and external data source, summarizes the analysis results and provides the facts revealing gaps/shortfalls and opportunities for operational excellence.
In this blog, we have only touched the surface of what is possible by capturing GPS, Speedometer and Odometer data of vehicles. FORMCEPT provides you a data analysis platform out of the box that can help you achieve the analytics as shown above.The above use case captures the data analysis and storage part of the fleet management. Now imagine how useful will this data be for maintaining the vehicles. The system can also record vehicle failures and then predict the failures in future based on the previous usage pattern that can be derived from the speed, acceleration and stoppages.
In the past, only connected system we could think of was our computers via internet; but now technological advancements are paving way for a connected world by syncing all devices/gadgets present around a human being. This is leading to a new phenomenon of Internet of Things or rather Internet of Everything. Our vehicles will soon be a part of the same ecosystem of connected devices which include computers, wireless devices, sensors, Bluetooth, Internet, GPS systems, mobile phones, etc. FORMCEPT helps you leverage such a system of connected devices by helping you monitor and optimize the usage of these devices for a better future.

I always see people discussing their aircraft insurance online. Like most folks, they are typically looking for better treatment from their agent or better prices. Everyone else is either a new or potential aircraft owner looking for suggestions as to whom they should contact for aviation insurance.
Ginger and I have dealt with several agencies through the years. Some have been good and one bordered on criminal. Yet, they all operated in pretty much the same manner. Let's face it, the aviation insurance business is thirty years behind everything else the same way aviation itself is. Status quo is the modus operandi. Because of this, we've learned to accept sub-standard business practices when it comes to the subject.
Always one to try something new, Ginger recently gave the new Sporty's Insurance Center a try. I remember the moment clearly. Things were quiet in the house, then I heard her walking briskly through the living room towards me. Something was up and I hoped it was good.
Strutting into the room as if she'd won a gold medal, she proudly stated, "I just saved us hundreds of dollars by switching to Sporty's." Additionally, as Ginger continued her upbeat report on the experience, she told me how the Sporty's service offered a more modern method of getting a quote online. That was great news. It also made her day.
If you want to see for yourself, go to Sporty's Insurance Center and give their quick quote service a shot. You may be surprised. Ginger certainly was, and that isn't easy.
Unfortunately they exclude insuring anything on floats or skis at this time.
But you are correct, their site is pretty straight forward!
I really agree with it. Suppose you are travelling somewhere and something happens in between very tragedic, you might face problems. So, it's better to get insurance policy. I would recommend you must get Insurance policy from National Insurance Company.


In that right arm we trust. That might become the new motto of the San Francisco 49ers as they just signed quarterback Colin Kaepernick to a one hundred twenty six million dollar 6 year extension today.
Drafted in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft out of Nevada, Kaepernick became  the starting quarterback during the 2012 season when then starting quarterback Alex Smith was injured with a concussion against the St. Louis Rams on November 11th. Kaepernick led the 49ers to Superbowl XLVII that season where they suffered a heart breaking loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The six year extension Kaepernick signed today averages out to $21 million a year with $61 million of that money being guaranteed. While not the highest amount paid per year ever in the NFL, that title goes to Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the contract does include the largest guaranteed payout ever.
Colin Kaepernick's right arm has become the future of the San Francisco 49ers. Well he is also pretty good with his legs as the photo below shows.
Colin Kaepernick runs down field with 49er head coach Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines hoping he gets out of bounds safely.
Nice shot! Captured perfectly. Very high definition.

The impact of stress on epidermal barrier function: an evidence-based review
M. Maarouf, C. L. Maarouf, G. Yosipovitch, V. Y. Shi
Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery
Background: The epidermal barrier functions to limit skin infection and inflammation by inhibiting irritant and immunogen invasion. Abundant evidence suggests that psychological stress stemming from crowding, isolation, nicotine smoking, insomnia, mental arithmetic tasks, physical pain, real-life stressors (examinations and marital strain) and lack of positive personality traits may impart both acute and chronic epidermal dysfunction. Objectives: To review the relationship between stress and epidermal barrier dysfunction. Methods: A review of the PubMed and Embase databases was conducted to identify all English-language case–control, cross-sectional and randomized control trials that have reported the effect of stress on epidermal barrier function. The authors' conclusions are based on the available evidence from 21 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Psychological stressors upregulate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis to stimulate local and systemic stress hormone production. This ultimately leads to aberrant barrier dysfunction, characterized by decreased epidermal lipid and structural protein production, decreased stratum corneum hydration and increased transepidermal water loss. Conclusions: This evidence-based review explores the adverse effects of psychological stressors on epidermal barrier function. Future investigations using more real-life stressors are needed to elucidate further their impact on skin physiology and identify practical stress-relieving therapies that minimize and restore epidermal barrier dysfunction, particularly in at-risk populations. What's already known about this topic?. The literature reports the negative effect of stress on prolonged wound healing. Less is known about the relationship between stress and epidermal barrier dysfunction, a chronic, superficial wound involving the upper epidermal layers. What does this study add?. Psychological stressors impact epidermal barrier function by activating the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis to stimulate local and systemic stress hormone production. Stress hormones negatively affect the epidermal barrier by decreasing epidermal lipids and structural proteins, decreasing stratum corneum hydration and increasing transepidermal water loss. Identification of such stressors can promote stress-avoidance and stress-reduction behaviours that protect epidermal barrier function and prevent certain dermatological conditions.

The mechanism for the formation of disk-like flows from rapidly rotating Be stars is not yet clear. An axisymmetric hydrodynamic stellar wind flow from a rapidly rotating star has been simulated numerically as a step in solving this problem. The change in the shape of the star as it rotates and the turbulence excited in the stellar wind at Reynolds numbers ∼109−1013 are taken into account. Calculations show the formation of a disk-like flow from the stellar surface at the equator, which expands into the polar regions due to a pressure gradient on scales of the order of the stellar radius. A poloidal velocity vortex is formed at high latitudes. No turbulence is excited near the equator within the simplest standard models and, therefore, no quasi-Keplerian disk-like flow emerges in the equatorial plane. A dependence of the total mass flux on the stellar rotation rate at various surface temperatures has been obtained.

Bicuculline-induced alterations in neuronal responses to controlled tactile stimuli in the second somatosensory cortex of the cat: A microiontophoretic study
K. D. Alloway, H. Burton
DBBS - Neurosciences
Single-neuron activity (n = 29) was recorded from the second somatosensory cortex of cats, and the effect of glutamate, γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA), and bicuculline methiodide (BMI) on spontaneous and stimulus-induced responses were analyzed. Iontophoresis of glutamate produced dose-dependent increases in spontaneous activity, whereas GABA suppressed both spontaneous and glutamate-induced activity. Neuronal responses elicited by cutaneous stimuli were also inhibited by GABA in a dose-dependent fashion; current levels needed to produce at least a 25-50% decrease in stimulus-evoked activity ranged from 5 to 100 nA, with a mean of about 45 nA. Iontophoresis of BMI (10-75 nA) effectively antagonized GABA-induced inhibition of stimulus-evoked responses without altering spontaneous activity. Furthermore, BMI increased the magnitude of responses produced by ramp stimuli and caused a several-fold increase in receptive field size. For neurons responsive to sinusoidal stimulation, BMI caused an increase in the frequency-following probability at preferred frequencies, but failed to alter the response to nonpreferred frequencies. These results suggest that GABA-ergic circuits may limit response magnitude but not the submodality properties of somatosensory cortical neurons.

Fall, in Four . . .
Autumn has turned in step with a switch. The T-shirt, the staple of summer, becomes a core submerged in fall flannel surfaced by a heavy cotton sweater. The minimal rain or wading jacket covers the rest of the usual required reading of the weather. When you run to the water, sleeves long underneath a second with ones short fit well. Mittens?

Time to turn more indoors. The view out a Manhattan window looks onto shaded brick holding ivy, a few trees tired of green, thinning below a blue lens of sky holding hovering glowing vapor trails.

Green-fingered staff from Morgan Sindall have helped pupils at Old Sarum primary school in Salisbury to transform their school garden into a tranquil area for outdoor learning.
Ten volunteers from Morgan Sindall donned their gardening gloves and donated 80 hours of their time to restore the school's overgrown garden and allotment area, encouraging pupils to embrace a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
The team of construction workers were helped by the school's head teacher, John Jones, and Eco-Representatives from years 3-6. The Eco-Representative pupils are part of the wider Eco-Schools programme, which is pupil-led and involves hands-on learning to encourage the school and wider community to get involved in environment projects.
Morgan Sindall is currently delivering major expansion work to the school, which will see its pupil capacity double and provide a vibrant new academic environment. The project for Wiltshire Council will enable the school to expand from a one to a two-form entry facility for 420 pupils – it also includes the delivery of additional playground areas, car parking and a drop-off zone at the south end of the school.
Old Sarum's improved garden area will be used to introduce the children to gardening and teach them how to grow their own produce as part of a drive to raise awareness around the environment and healthy living.
The effort was also supported by donations from local businesses. Hilliers Garden Centre donated their time and plants to support the Morgan Sindall team, while building merchants Travis Perkins donated £1,000 worth of goods towards the school garden.
Tool hire firm Brandon Hire provided the team with strimmers, ground workers Kavells donated extra supplies and waste management company AWS provided skip services.
John Jones, head teacher at Old Sarum primary school, said: "Thank you to the whole team at Morgan Sindall. The children will love enjoying learning about nature in the garden. The team have done a wonderful job!
The Morgan Sindall team involved in the garden project included operations manager Derek Jackson, contracts manager Jason Gifford, site manager Robert Easton and site engineer Lee Chandler. The Old Sarum site manager Robert Lesbirel was also involved on the day.
Jon Daines, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "We hope that the school can use the garden as a unique outdoor learning space to teach pupils about our collective responsibility to take care of the environment and the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle.


Alex and Ryan's rustic Georgia barn wedding is absolute wedding design inspiration gold. Their inviting, homey wedding was held at their family farm, and is chock full of beautiful and personal details, so get your Pin buttons ready. And you know what else? It's mostly DIY!
Let's start by checking out the barn where all this came together… Alex did an amazing job of transforming the barn into a warm and welcoming place for her guests.
These florals by Artistic Florists in Cleveland GA were perfect to set the tone. These soft colors are the perfect fit for a rustic barn setting.
Take a look at Alex's gorgeous gown. I adore the delicate detail. It's Lazaro, from Bridals by Lori, and modified by Kate Horlander in Buckhead.
I always recommend getting a pretty hanger for your wedding dress. This pretty personalized hanger is from Etsy, here.
It was a rainy day, and I have to say one of my favorite moments is this one, carefully getting Alex from the car to the barn.
Happily, we did get a break from the rain to do some photos with Alex and Ryan outside!
And this is my absolute favorite detail: The ceremony and dinner rooms were decorated by Alex with a collection of quilts that were created by her grandmother and great grandmother. Not only did it give the barn walls interest and beauty, but what an absolutely wonderful way to create a personal and sentimental setting!
Alex also managed to drape the barn's ceilings with tulle, bringing great rustic elegance to the scene.
Just before the sun set, Alex made her way down the aisle, stopping to blow a kiss to Alex and Ryan's son along the way. The ceremony was really sweet and emotional, as Alex and Ryan celebrated their relationship. My favorite part: just after their vows, an emotional Alex and Ryan couldn't contain themselves and kissed, before the ceremony was even over.
After the ceremony, guests had cocktails and appetizers while we did a few more photos. There were so many great DIY details here, too! I'm totally in love with the old carriage that became a place for gifts, and the beers in an ice-filled bathtub. I just love how Alex made this her own!
And as the doors opened for dinner, the table decor was so warmly rustic and homey.
One of my other favorite things from this wedding (I know, I know, I have like 10 favorite things from this wedding) are the custom wood name cutouts that served as place cards. Everyone loved them and I wanted one for myself! The most amazing part: Alex designed these herself!
And the cake table! It's not like it's exactly uncommon for the cake table to be my favorite part of a wedding, LOL, but there's just something about this one that's extra special. Between the quilt backdrop, the variety of tasty treats, and this fun cake topper from JV Country Creations on Etsy, it's totally drool-inducing.
And if that's not enough, how about the S'MORES BAR. Just get in my belly right now.
Alex and Ryan's first dance was awesome. Although, you know what? Every time they danced together that night was awesome, because he kept picking her up and swinging her around. So joyful and fun!
The cake cutting was funny, too. I chuckle every single time I look at these images, with the looks on their faces!
Alex also made her own favors, in the form of homemade orange bitters. Guests could also take a honey bear from a neighboring farm. Alex's sign was absolutely perfect: A BitterSweet goodnight.
I love it when a couple steals away for a few moments during the reception to just enjoy each other.
They were serious about creating a party where people could relax and enjoy! This sign at the bar saying they'd party until the cows came home proved true.

Norway must participate in defense cooperation with the EU
EU defense ministers approved the participation of Norway and North America when they met on Thursday.
– Their expertise will contribute to the project and to the reinforcement of military mobility inside and outside the EU. This is part of transatlantic cooperation where we have common interests and priorities, says EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell after the decision.
faster movement
The project is led by the Netherlands, which will officially invite the three countries.
The objective is to ensure a smoother and faster circulation of military forces and equipment in Europe. The United States has more than 70,000 soldiers in Europe, among other things to support Poland and the Baltic countries.
Canada leads a NATO battle group stationed in the region, near the border with Russia, and Norway is also participating.
– We are happy that Norway can now participate in this Pesco project. It is important to simplify the passage of heavy materials across national borders in Europe through harmonization and simplified procedures.
– Improve military mobility
– In the years to come, we will continue to improve military mobility. This will help increase security throughout the region, Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen (H) told NTB. He believes that many solutions lie in cooperation between the EU and NATO.
Apart from bureaucratic hurdles, shortcomings in infrastructure also hamper the speed of travel.
Examples are roads and bridges that cannot withstand tanks and heavy vehicles, airstrips that are too short, and ports that are too shallow to accommodate certain types of aircraft and ships.
– A big step
German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer calls the inclusion of Norway, the United States and Canada a "quantum leap in our concrete cooperation".
– The integration of these countries is a big step for the practical possibilities of European armed forces. We also see it as a new step in transatlantic connection and cooperation between the EU and NATO, she said.

A team of physicists, two from the U.S., and one each from Poland and Spain has used Maxwell's equations to describe field lines that encode all torus knots and links. As they describe in their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the result of using the equations could lead to a method of creating light in the real world that can be tied into knots.
Maxwell's equations (named after James Clerk Maxwell) are a group of partial differential equations that have been used as the basis for developing virtually all modern electrical circuits and optic devices. Back in the late 1980's a team of mathematicians discovered several solutions to Maxwell's equations that described oddly shaped objects in free space that formed closed loops and that were linked together. They called their structures Hopf fibrations and they have since been found to exist in other areas of science such as the physics that describes liquid crystals.
In this new effort, the four physicists built on the previous work and have now found new ways to solve the equations that allow for describing beams of light traveling in the shape of torus knots and links. Torus knots are those kinds of knots that can lie on the surface of a close curve around a line that lies in the same plane, i.e. a torus. A link is a collection of torus knots. The light in the knots described by the solutions developed by the team hold on to their topographical properties and don't disperse. The solutions describe both magnetic and electrical field lines that ultimately control the way light propagates under certain circumstances.
The researchers suggest that creating real world knots made of light might be possible by applying their solutions in the lab using Laguerre–Gaussian beams—a type of beam that carries orbital angular momentum. If that were to happen, they suggest the resulting knots might be used to capture certain types of atoms. Also sending the knots into a plasma field could result in plasma taking on characteristics of the knot, giving researchers a new way of studying the ionized gases.
We construct analytically, a new family of null solutions to Maxwell's equations in free space whose field lines encode all torus knots and links. The evolution of these null fields, analogous to a compressible flow along the Poynting vector that is shear free, preserves the topology of the knots and links. Our approach combines the construction of null fields with complex polynomials on S3. We examine and illustrate the geometry and evolution of the solutions, making manifest the structure of nested knotted tori filled by the field lines.


The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of soil and water management practices on soil strength for field operations on sandy loam soil in southern Manitoba. The study focused on the impact of subsurface drainage on soil strength and the impact of loose and moderately compact soil on soil water content. Field studies, laboratory studies, and HYDRUS (2D/3D) simulation exercise were used to obtain data for the study. The performance of subsurface drainage was assessed for promoting soil strength for field operations by comparing the soil strength of subsurface drained fields and undrained fields using soil water content observed in the field. The HYDRUS (2D/3D) model was used to extend the study by simulating soil water content changes due to different drain spacings under different weather conditions. The results showed that subsurface drainage impact was more significant within the 0.3 m to 0.5 m depth of the soil profile. Under different weather conditions, drain spacings less or equal to 12 m promoted soil strength in the top 0.5 m depth of the soil profile to allow field operations without any significant impact on the number of field workable days. The subsoil was found to be very vulnerable to compaction based on its high level of intrinsic susceptibility and the wetness condition. However, having drain spacing less or equal to 12 m promoted sufficient soil strength for the top 0.5 m depth of the soil profile, which provided protection for the subsoil. The impact of loose and moderately compact soil on soil water content was assessed by studying the effect of changes in bulk density on soil water content. The results showed that loose soil had relatively high soil water content due to increased pore space. Increasing the bulk density caused a decline in the soil water content within the range of the loose soil (1.0 Mgm-3 to 1.3 Mgm-3). The trend reversed as the bulk density increased in the range of moderately compact soil (1.3 Mgm-3 to 1.5 Mgm-3). This effect was more predominant during the spring field operation period.


Customer support exists because things don't always go the way you need them to. We get that, and we know how frustrating that can be.
So when we set out to craft our Service First Support philosophy, our goal was—and remains—to create an end-to-end experience that just feels different.
We have dedicated support teams even for small and mid-sized businesses, because we believe your support team should actually feel like a part of your team.
We guarantee 15-minute or less response time in our Bill of Rights SLA for Priority 1 events. But you'll never wait more than 60 minutes for any ticket (30 minutes or less for escalation to senior staff), because your customers and applications can't be put on hold—and neither should you. That's also why we pledge 100% network and power uptime.
We provide comprehensive transparency into our operations—whether you're a customer or not—because trust is something we know we have to continually earn (and we prefer it that way).
We're available 24/7/365 for when you need to talk to somebody, and we integrate intelligent, automated self-service into the experience for when you don't.
Service First Support starts with our all-inclusive, white glove onboarding. Implementing a new infrastructure solution or navigating a migration can be stressful, but with our experts guiding you, it doesn't have to be.
We rely on the quality of the INAP Service First Support experience to speak for itself, but certifications ensure that continuous learning and development stay a fundamental part of our team's MO. That's resulted in hundreds of certifications, so you can rest assured that every person you interact with knows exactly what they're talking about.

There's a high probability that I would win most months then!
I think much that I learned throughout my life was from asking so called "stupid questions", until Google came along; then nobody knows what elementary info you are seeking (well possibly some database inside Google does).
Owning up here: I hadn't a clue what DIN meant with regard to car radios, so typed "din car radio", and Bob's your uncle, I can appear knowledgeable!
and they have standards for everything (just like ANSI for the US, BSI for the UK and ISO for international standards).
For slots in the dashboard the standard covers the dimensions of the slot, so single DIN is one slot (like the RT6) and dual DIN is for a device that covers two slots on top of each other (such as NG4).

In an effort to introduce my folks and cousin to more coastal towns and the to-do's along the province of Manabi's coastline, last week we headed northward on an excellent daytrip with Eduardo. First we buzzed by our properties in San Jacinto… plenty of photos of those on our website. Then we drove further north toward Bahia. The road is in great shape and about halfway there we spun off toward the coast… through a valley call the Pajonal and onto a gorgeous untouched coastline!
Here we are with Eduardo. We had the whole place to ourselves.
Then we travelled on to Bahia de Caraquez and went up to the "Cruz", a huge cross that you can climb to the top of for excellent views up and down the coast and over Bahia's bay that is full of sailboats.
Next we crossed the bay on a small ferry boat that leaves about every 5 minutes (30 cents) and grabbed a cab to catch the Isla del Corazon boat tour.
The tour consists of an intro video and guided tour through the mangrove ecosystems that keep the bay alive and act as it nursery for fish and bird species.
We also saw a ton of frigate birds (with their huge red neck pouches puffed out for mating season). Then it was back to the mainland for a quick trip to Canoa and northern coast.


Integral Sustainable Design has been for me the single most important books on architecture I have ever read. It will be of interest to all manner of integralists and meta-theorists, will serve the world of sustainable design as a guiding manual, and for the non-expert can profoundly change one's day to day experience of the built environments in which we can dwell.
In all respects, my expectations of DeKay's work have been exceeded, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all those who seek a manifesto that meshes Integralism, Sustainability, and Design.
If any architectural school is seriously concerned with preparing its students for the long-term future a very big if, I know then this book will play a central role both to guide and ensure the comprehensiveness of the curriculum and as a fundamental resource to be read by all students. It will be equally useful to all practitioners prepared to embrace a much expanded way of thinking about sustainability.
I cautiously use the word breakthrough to describe Integral Sustainable Design because I believe that until this book, no author had connected the dots from the still-emergent field of integral theory to design in such a way as to give clear instructions for its application, particularly to sustainable architectural practice.
DeKay argues convincingly that through weaving the technological with the cultural, the scientific with the aesthetic, design has the power to actually regenerate life and help transform society.
There are hundreds of books and other publications in this area but this book stands above the majority of existing publications in the field…… This book is a definite must-read for architectural students and all professionals engaged in sustainable design and green construction. It has a good balance of theory and examples. It would make my list of top 10 must-read sustainability books.

Montgomeryshire () was, from 1974 to 1996, one of three districts of the county of Powys, Wales. The district had an identical area to the previous administrative county of Montgomeryshire.
The district was formed as Montgomery on 1 April 1974 as part of a general reorganisation of local government in England and Wales under the Local Government Act 1972. The new district replaced ten local authorities:
The municipal boroughs of Llanfyllin, Llanidloes, Montgomery and Welshpool
The urban districts of Machynlleth and Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
The rural districts of Forden, Llanfyllin, Machynlleth and Newtown and Llanidloes.Schedule 4: Local government areas in Wales, Local Government Act 1972 (c.70)
In 1986 the name of the district was changed to Montgomeryshire by resolution of the council.
On 1 April 1996 the two-tier system of councils introduced in Wales in 1974 was replaced, and the country was divided into twenty-two counties and county boroughs by the Local Government Act 1994. Accordingly the district was abolished, with its area passing to the county of Powys.

Charlot Strasser (* 11. Mai 1884 in Bern; † 4. Februar 1950 in Zürich) war ein Schweizer Psychiater, Schriftsteller und Vertreter der Individualpsychologie.

Leben
Karl Ludwig (Charlot) kam als erstes von sechs Kindern des Anatomieprofessors Hans Strasser und der Marie geborene Freymond (1861–1922) zur Welt. 1887 wurde sein Vater als Direktor des Anatomischen Institutes nach Bern berufen. Seine Jugendjahre verbrachte Strasser in der Nähe des Instituts.

Charlot schloss das Berner Literargymnasium 1902 mit der Matura Typus A ab. Von 1903 bis 1909 absolvierte ein Studium der Medizin in Bern, Berlin, Leipzig, München und Paris (Promotion 1912). während dieser Zeit entstand sein literarisches Frühwerk unter Anleitung des Berner Schriftstellers Joseph Victor Widmann.

Von 1906 bis 1907 reiste er durch Russland, China und Japan, wovon seine «Gedichte von einer Weltreise» und die «Reisenovellen aus Russland und Japan» berichten. Nach
Abschluss des Studiums bereiste er Anfang 1910 als Schiffsarzt der Hamburger Kosmos-Linie Mittel- und Südamerika und schilderte seine Erlebnisse in der Novellensammlung «Das Pestschiff».

Nach seiner Rückkehr arbeitete Strasser kurze Zeit als Assistenzarzt der inneren Medizin am Berner Inselspital unter Hermann Sahli und für einige Monate an der Psychiatrischen Universitätsklinik Waldau Bern unter Wilhelm von Speyr. Von 1911 bis 1912 war Strasser Assistenzarzt unter Eugen Bleuler am Burghölzli. In Zürich entstand unter der Leitung von Heinrich Zangger seine Dissertation «Über die Kumulativverbrechen».

Strasser praktizierte ab 1913 bis zu seinem Tode als niedergelassener Psychiater in Zürich. Er war der erste Arzt, der Friedrich Glauser betreute. Hugo Ball hatte Glauser an Strasser vermittelt, der damals mit der literarischen Szene Zeit enge Beziehungen pflegte. Von 1935 bis 1944 war er ärztlicher Leiter des Männerheims zur Weid in Rossau (Gemeinde Mettmenstetten).

Zusammen mit Alfred Adler und Carl Furtmüller publizierte Strasser ab 1914 die «Zeitschrift für Individualpsychologie». Mit seiner Ehefrau Vera Strasser-Eppelbaum verfasste er Arbeiten, die sich kritisch mit der Psychoanalyse beschäftigten. Wegen des Ersten Weltkriegs mussten die Nummern 6 bis 9 der Zeitschrift im Juli 1916 in Zürich erscheinen.

Strasser hatte Vera Eppelbaum 1913 geheiratet. Sie stammte aus Kowel, war jüdischer Herkunft, Sozialistin wie ihr Mann, hatte in Bern und Zürich Medizin studiert und war bei Bleuler promoviert worden.

Sein literarisches Werk umfasste expressionistische Novellen, welche die Zürcher Dada-Szene beeinflussten.

Intellectual gift: a quick way to identify it?
The definition of intelligence it is something that the scientific community has never been able to find complete agreement on. It is therefore not strange that descriptions abound even with respect to intellectual surplus and that, at the same time, these are all at least partially different from each other.
However, in clinical and research practice it is customary to estimate intelligence by means of the intellectual quotient (IQ) and this parameter is the one commonly used to identify intellectual surplus.
Starting from this, the identification of gifted children presupposes the use of an intellectual scale. In this sense, the most used test is the WISC-IV: however, it is a rather long tool in its administration, requiring about 90 minutes in the basic version (10 subtests) and about 120 minutes for the complete version (15 subtests).
Usually, the scores used to evaluate the presence of surplus endowment are the aforementioned QI and the General Skill Index (IAG), i.e. the intellectual quotient from which the scores relating to the working memory and the processing speed (thus keeping only the evidence most closely connected to abstract reasoning).
Based on these premises, some researchers[1] wondered if it was possible to correctly identify gifted children with a much reduced version of the WISC-IV, so as to significantly shorten the time.
To answer this question, the scholars selected a group of children made up of both gifted and individuals of average intelligence (IQ, IAG and scores in the individual subtests were available of all these people); starting from the psychometric properties of the WISC-IV, they simulated what would happen by administering only a few subtests.
Based on this, the study authors selected 6 shortened forms of WISC-IV, some of them versions consisting of only 2 subtests and other versions made up of 4 subtests; of these, the best two turned out to be the following:
Similarities + Reasoning with Matrices;
Similarities + Vocabulary + Reasoning with Matrices + Drawing with Cubes.
Through simulations, the short version only consists of Similarities e Reasoning with Matrices was able to correctly identify 80% of the gifted persons identified on the basis of the IQ and 91% of the gifted persons identified through the IAG.
The shortened version (but more extensive than the previous one) consists of Similarities, Vocabulary, Reasoning with Matrices e Drawing with Cubes was able to correctly identify 86% of the gifted persons identified on the basis of the IQ and 99% of the gifted persons identified through the IAG.
Subsequently, the authors tested the aforementioned short versions on real cases, in an empirical way.
On the basis of these data, among the versions with only 2 subtests, the one consisting of Similarities e Reasoning with Matrices the best was confirmed (with a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 98%).
Among the abbreviated forms from 4 subtests, the best that emerged from the empirical evidence was a version composed of Similarities, Vocabulary, Illustrated Concepts e Drawing with Cubes (with 96% sensitivity and 100% specificity).
According to these data, a shortened form of WISC-IV could be useful for a quick identification of individuals with intellectual surplus, especially in situations with important time constraints, given that the subtests would go from 10 to 4, or even only to 2.
However, as the authors of the research themselves underline, the intention must not be to introduce this practice in place of a more accurate evaluation; on the contrary, this should represent only a first step to understand, with all probability, which children could be surplus given, thus requiring a subsequent more in-depth cognitive evaluation.

Approximately 1 in every 5 youth experiences a severe mental disorder at some point. Youth with mental disorders face major challenges with stigma, isolation, and discrimination, as well as lack of access to health care and education facilities (Source: WHO). In Hong Kong itself, the incidence of mental illness in youth and adolescents has risen by over 50% in the last 5 years (Source: Bauhinia.org).
There is a dire need to tackle the stigma associated with mental illness in youth, and aid development of resources to help youth facing such challenges.
Who better to lead the charge for youth mental health than youth themselves with the support of the global community!

Memo to Steve Lopez: Here's Why the Gropegate Story Upset Us
Filed under: Dog Trainer,General — Patterico @ 8:52 pm
Armed Liberal slams L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez for his column today.
Lopez gives his paper a pat on the back for its coverage of Phil Angelides and Steve Westly, and says:
I'm just wondering why the paper hasn't gotten huzzahs from the professional gas bags who worked themselves into a frenzy three years ago over our equally tough reporting on a candidate named Arnold Schwarzenegger. As that doddering shill Hugh Hewitt put it back then, The Times was "an organ of the Democratic Party" with no interest other than "agenda journalism."
I've explained the problems with the Gropegate story before, here and here.
In essence, my main problem was the timing: it was published less than a week before the election. Obviously, the paper wasn't going to run the story after the election. Does anybody here, even one commenter, actually believe that the paper would have worked on this story for several weeks, and printed it three days after the election, because it "wasn't ready" before then? If even one person believes that, please raise your hand.
I see no hands.
Editors set a deadline for the story: get it printed before the election. Well, if they could set that deadline, they could have set one a couple of weeks earlier, and run a less detailed story. They could have focused on covering fewer women, for example. That way, it wouldn't have felt like a last-minute smear job that Arnold barely had time to respond to.
If your professor says get the term paper in by the last day of class, you do. If he says get it in two weeks before, you can do that, too. Maybe it won't be quite as detailed. But you can do it — if you think it's important.
It was important for the paper not to print that story with less than a week to go before the election. Stories like that are routinely seen as hatchet jobs — and for good reason. The candidate barely has time to respond. The issue dominates over all other issues.
Voters are tired of these late-hit stories.
The editors failed to understand this, and the paper's reputation suffered dearly as a result.
Get it now, Steve?
Electorate Loves the People Responsible for L.A. County Jail's Early Release Program
Filed under: Crime,General — Patterico @ 6:47 am
The L.A. Times recently ran several stories on Sheriff Baca's early release policy, and the murders, rapes, and robberies it has led to.
I told you that the County Supervisors (who are responsible for allocating enough money for law enforcement in L.A. County) are primarily to blame — and so are you voters if you keep re-electing them.
So, after running this series of articles, whom did the establishment L.A. Times endorse? That's right — the incumbents:
Supervisor, 1st District: Gloria Molina.
Supervisor, 3rd District: Zev Yaroslavsky.
Sheriff: Lee Baca.
And, of course, you re-elected all of them.
Suckers.

joetote on President Trump Triples Down, Calls For Apology (UPDATE: GOP Members Find A Backbone)


All eyes are on 10 days in September, as summer comes to surprisingly warm close and we inch closer to everyone's favorite week in town, Bellingham Beer Week. It's not like we Bellinghamsters need an excuse to drink craft beer, but we keep finding ways to celebrate all the great brewing in this town.
Founded and crafted by the good people at Tap Trail (another excuse Bellingham created to drink more beer), this year's Beer Week begins on September 9th and lasts through September 18th. Check the Bellingham Beer Week website for the full schedule of events, but the party shifts south to Fairhaven for the day as Stones Throw hosts the "Kill the Keg" Party on September 11th, from 2pm to 8pm.
As per usual with a Stones Throw party, Fairhaven Pizza will be slinging slices while an assortment of live bands play the day away. Cubano Cubano and Simmering Java will be the two food trucks joining the fun, as well as a handful of games for all ages.
Can you volunteer from 5:30 - 8:30 on Saturday, 11th September for Stones Throw Brewery? We are looking for 4x Beer Pourers with MAST permits, 4x gate keepers and one other helper. Email nadine@stonesthrowbrewco.com or stop by the brewery anytime!
Things are lining up to be a damn good week of beer drinking, all over Bellingham!
Conveniently scheduled during the 10 day party is the 15th annual Bellingham Traverse, the popular relay race throughout town that celebrates the journey of wild salmon. The relay includes running, biking, and paddling legs. You can register to race the traverse Chinook (solo), Coho (tandem), or CHUM (relay team) style. And a big shout-out to Recreation northwest for putting on the Bellingham Traverse for what is undoubtedly going to be another awesome year. Now, all you need to do is put down your beer for a few hours to channel your inner wild salmon!
On the Horizon: October isn't too far off, which means the 6th annual Shoot the Trails Awards is coming up. Bellingham Technical College is hosting the WMBC event on October 8th at 6pm. As always, the photo and video contest will be full of raffles, beer, food, prizes, and...you know, bikes! Click here to learn about photo and video submission guidelines. And support your local mountain bike trail builders! Stones Throw is stoked to help sponsor the event this year - see you all there!
