Difference Engine, "Knowledge Lost". From "Knowledge Lost" at Gallery 1201. Photo courtesy of Difference Engine.
I took the elevator up to the twelfth floor of UArts's Terra Hall recently to check out a show at Gallery 1201. Most of the students were off for spring break, so the massive building felt vacant. I would soon realize that this is the perfect context under which to view Knowledge Lost—a multimedia installation put together by a Philadelphia-based art collective Difference Engine (comprised of artists John Bezark and Chris Baldys). The only thing I knew about the show going into it was that it involved information being deleted from Wikipedia in real-time. Since Wikipedia is an open-source encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone, there are phrases or sections being deleted nearly every second of every day. Some of the deletions are single words while others are whole paragraphs. I have always been fascinated by the way information is surplussed in our digital age, and the premise for the show immediately sparked my interest.
Walking into the space feels like walking through the inside of a computer. A glitchy, ambient hum resonates through the dark room, and it doesn't take long to notice a Siri-like voice sputtering out seemingly random words or sequences of numbers that in turn appear projected on the walls. It is all very jarring at first, but at the opposite end of the room there is a guiding light in the form of an old Panasonic computer monitor whose screen encourages me to "move the mouse to begin." I am immediately flooded with memories of the ancient computer I grew up with, it's bulbous screen and outdated design. It feels like I am operating an artifact as I begin following the instructions that appear on the screen. It instructs me: "What you see around you is everything being deleted off of Wikipedia at this very instant. Any thought, idea, revision, edit or erasure is flitting past you on it's way out of existence." It then provides me with the definition of the word Eulogy: "A poetic speech or piece of writing which commemorates someone or something that is no more," before instructing me to create a eulogy of my own composed out of the series of words and symbols that are being deleted from Wikipedia. The nonsensical fragments begin to fade on and off of the screen. Like with a computer game, the user is tasked with clicking on and collecting preferred words before they disappear. I begin to zone into the monitor, fishing for words that catch my fancy. I chuckle when the word 'Shrek' pops up on screen and shudder when a passage about someone's suicide follows just moments later. It all feels so chaotically random, yet somehow solemn at the same time. After finding a group of words that I like, I press a little arrow and am able to format the words together in any arrangement I want to. My eulogy reads: "digital daddy lies undefined." The poem is then printed out on a small piece of receipt paper that I can pin on a wall next to other elegies that viewers have made. Some are sad and others are silly. I am moved to see so many people reclaiming some semblance of humanity out of this digital graveyard.
"Knowledge Lost" is on view from 1/31/19 – 3/22/19 at Gallery 1201. Gallery 1201 is the official Game Arts gallery at University of the Arts. The gallery is located on the 12th floor of Terra Hall at 211 South Broad Street, Philadelphia.

Vickers Vivid
An all-metal variant of the Vickers Vixen, built as a single private venture prototype.
The Vickers Vivid was the final development of the Vixen, and was initially known as the Vixen VII.
The Vickers Vivid was an all-metal version of the Vickers Vixen and was initially designated by Vickers (Aviation Department) as the Vickers Vixen VII.
Problems with the durability of the Vickers Vixen's wooden wing structure in hot and humid climates suggested that an all-metal variant might be of interest to Chile, which had become an important operator of Vickers aircraft. The Vickers Vivid was therefore built as a private venture, fitting a new all-metal wing structure to the Vickers Vixen III (G-EBIP). It was initially completed as a landplane, powered by a 490 hp Napier Lion VA engine, receiving a new registration (G-EBPY).
It was flown for the first time at Brooklands on 27th June 1927.
The Vickers Vivid undergoing trials as a floatplane.
The type was then modified to a floatplane configuration (with Short-designed floats) and tested initially at Hamble before being officially evaluated at Felixstowe in May 1928. In this configuration, a 540 hp Napier Lion XI was fitted and the Vickers designation was changed to Vickers Type 146.
The Vickers Vivid was then reverted to landplane configuration (as the Vickers Type 142) and was flown to Bucharest on 6th September 1928, to participate in trials against a Romanian requirement for a general-purpose biplane.
The Vickers Vivid set out-and-back records between Heston and several European cities.
After the failure of these early marketing efforts, Vickers-Armstrong sold the aircraft (G-EBPY) to a private owner JR Chaplin in 1931, Chaplin then proceeded (with Neville Stack as pilot) to set the one day 'out-and-return' speed records between Heston and Berlin, followed by the same between Copenhagen and Warsaw in 1931. They also made an attempt on the England to Australia record.
The aircraft was subsequently sold and was unfortunately destroyed in a hangar fire at Broomfield Aerodrome, Chelmsford on 18th September 1932.

Having dogs as a pet can be an effective cure to your loneliness—they're known as human's best friend for a reason. But, you should always remember that your pooch can feel lonely too. Maybe it's fair to spoil your dog with some toys to keep him occupied while you're busy with your work. And since pet toys don't come cheap, you will find this ideas of DIY dog toys pretty useful.
All these toys do not require you much to make. Instead, you can create them out of the materials you find at home. Of course you will need some effort and creativity for this, but sure that will be no big deal.
Firstly, let's go with the easiest one. Grab your scissors to prepare for the knot using upcycled fabric. In this case, an elastic one such as fleece is most recommended. You can make use of your old stretchy t-shirt too. Your dog will get excited to tug on the knot as it stretches.
Next, we will work with the rope. We all know dogs love balls, obviously. So, let's just make one by making a knot out of the rope. To make it more interesting, you can add some tail to the ball. Your pup will surely love this and in the same way, this material is safe for his teeth to chew on.
Back at it again, using fleece or a worn out t-shirt, you can make a combination of the previous work. This octopus toy is not only cute, but also easy to make. Before, you'll have to make a few braids out of the fabric, and then tie the ends up together with the stuffed ball as the head. Sure it will amuse your dog as you toss it in the air.
Finally, let's try with something different. In this, you will have to put more effort than you do when making the no-sew toys. Cut out the pattern you like on the fabric, sew the edge of the inner part halfway, put acrylic stuffing inside, and continue sewing. Make creative shapes such as sharks or bones; and it will be better that you decorate it again. Such a cute toy to chew on!

Without a common software standard, devices will remain locked into what the German industry experts calls "island solutions"– brands that have a portfolio of products that can talk with each other but won't be compatible with other brands.
I honestly doubt that there is an algorithm in the world that can reliably surface such unexpected content, so well. An algorithm can perhaps surface guaranteed content, but it cannot surface unexpected, diverse and sometimes weird content exactly because of how algorithms work: they know what they already know. Yet, there is a vast amount of judgement and knowledge that is in the heads of Twitter users that the algorithm will inevitably flatten as it works from the data it has: past user behavior and metrics.

2016 was one of those weird years, with ups and downs for everyone, it seems. Just like other years, there have been lows and highs but they seem to have been especially amplified these past twelve months. From the craziest election we've seen in years to the Olympics, I think that we all have some standout moments we will not soon forget.
Our lows here at Spoaster included getting a sample product from our first supplier just to be utterly disappointed in the quality. After finding a replacement supplier, we now have a final product with the quality we had first imagined.
With the birth of Spoaster this past year, I guess its only relevant that I will be looking forward to another birth in 2017. I will become a father in the middle of next year. There's really something about those words which make you look at life differently. With any luck, I can hopefully have one baby supporting the other in the coming years.
This coming years goal for Spoaster is really to launch our product and get our name and brand out there. I would really love to explain to everyone why the Spoaster is something all of us would be better off with. If there are any specific questions or requests from anyone, please feel free to voice it out!
Moving forward to 2017, we should look back on the accomplishments which we have achieved this past year. Let us push ourselves further this coming year. I wish a very happy 2017 to everyone out there!
Yes, the Spoaster is for you...EVEN if you never spill!
Hope the New Year has been good to everyone so far! We would just like to keep everyone updated on some of the latest news!


When it comes to jobs and economic opportunities, where a person lives can be pivotal. After all, if an employer is located in high-cost area, the talent pool of available hires shrinks — or productivity declines as workers face long commutes. Indeed, potentially valuable employees may lose a great advancement opportunity and pursue work elsewhere if housing costs are too high.
That's the ultimate lose-lose scenario.
One way to tackle this challenge, which affects American cities large and small, is through employer-assisted housing, a model that is receiving increased attention as lower-income Americans continue to struggle to find affordable housing in safe and healthy neighborhoods.
Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y., recently introduced legislation that would create new opportunities for employers interested in helping their workers pay rent or buy homes. The concept behind the Housing America's Workforce Act isn't new, as similar proposals have been introduced at the state level, too, but it is an approach that is beginning to resonate.
Under Velazquez's proposed legislation — which experts say is hardly a slam dunk for passage, but does help raise the profile of the issue — employers could qualify for a 50% tax credit when helping their employees with rent or homeownership. For smaller companies, the credit would be as much as 100% of the outlay. The bill also includes grants for local government and non-profit housing groups that work on increasing employer-assisted housing programs.
Velasquez's interest in this issue strikes close to home. Though rent costs throughout the country have escalated, the increases are especially significant in major urban areas such as her New York City district. Between 2000 and 2014, median apartment rents in New York City soared 75%, while real income declined by an average of 5%.
Employers around the country — from Under Armour and T. Rowe Price to medical centers and universities — have implemented popular and often successful employer-assisted housing programs. Experts judge the success of these efforts in a number of ways, including how long people stay, whether they're up-to-date on payments and whether the programs help to revitalize the neighborhoods served by the grants.
The Atlantic recently spotlighted an employer-assisted housing program offered by the University of Chicago. It provides grants to staff members who choose to live in designated neighborhoods near the university's campus. Assistance includes help with rent and downpayments, as well as homeownership classes. The program has also helped improve neighborhoods surrounding the campus.
"There are multiple winners when employers assist with housing, including the employers themselves who often benefit from the employee retention the program can provide, the employees and the neighborhood," said Robin Snyderman, a principal with BRicK Partners in Evanston, Ill. BRicK Partners is a community development consulting and project management firm with years of experience working on local, state and federal incentives to help promote employer-assisted housing programs.
Snyderman said she is optimistic about these types of programs' potential for growth in part because unlike health care cost assistance, which most employees utilize, only about 10% of staff is likely to seek out housing assistance because it is limited to neighborhoods near the employer. These neighborhoods benefit from an increased tax base, new businesses and new energy, Snyderman said. She added that participating employers are most successful when aligning their housing efforts with their other priorities — such as corporate sustainability, wellness, or social responsibility programs. The right partners are also crucial.
The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore has run an employer-assisted housing program since 1997. The university, The Rouse Company Foundation and the city of Baltimore fund it. The program focuses on home purchases, and its assistance comes with certain conditions. For instance, beneficiaries must purchase a home in the program's target area; contribute at least $1,000 to the down payment and/or closing costs; and complete a home ownership counseling course. The program also requires that participants make the home they purchase their primary residence for at least five years. In 2013, the program contributed to the city of Baltimore winning a Robert C. Larson Housing Policy Award from ULI.
Michelle Carlstrom, senior director of the university's Office of Work, Life and Engagement, said more than 400 employees have received grants since the program began. The grants have risen from a few thousand dollars at the program's inception to a current maximum of $36,000.
"We've always had strong interest," said Carlstrom, who has made presentations to other communities about the Hopkins program and leads walking and bus tours for employees interested in the grants.
One of the program's benefits is that the university has multiple campuses and allows participants to live near any of them, even if it's not right by the campus where they work.
"We feel strongly that we are adding to the tax base and development of the communities that surround us," she said.
And is it working? It certainly has for Carlstrom, who was a single professional when she took advantage of the program in 2008. She purchased an old Victorian, benefiting from a downpayment assistance program that allowed her to afford a large home and bet on her future.
Seven years later, the "big space" is home to not just Carlstrom, but to her husband and their three young kids. They love the house and the neighborhood they call home.


I almost don't want to review this playground because I love it and I don't want it to become too busy! But I realise that is selfish and not in the spirit of why this blog was set up. So if you haven't been before the Pelican playground in Chigwell, or 'pirate ship playground' as we call it, is a lovely spot for young children and really comes into its own now that the weather is warming up. It's also excellent for parents as it is relatively small and enclosed so you can relax knowing that they can't run off too far!
The kids playground is basically a giant sandpit so perfect when the weather is good (best avoided when it is wet and squelchy though). Even without all the great equipment a bucket and spade or digger toy for the sand usually keeps the little ones occupied for a while. The equipment is lovely though, beautifully built wooden structures – a pirate ship with ropes and a slide, small wooden houses, swings, springers, stepping stone logs and some beautiful living willow tunnels which my son loves. There's a fence running around the outside which is very useful and means you don't have to panic about the children escaping. There's a grassy area around the edge of the equipment for running about with benches and picnic benches for a packed lunch or mums to relax on. There isn't a cafe on site so you will need to bring any food and drink with you.
The small car park is right next to the play area and is free. A short walk away is the Grange Farm Centre where you can find the nearest toilet and they also hold regular baby and toddler classes there. These include Creative Monkeys and Sing and Sign on Fridays (See my Local Friday Baby and Toddler classes page for more details). And across the lane is Chigwell Meadows, a lovely parkland walk which has hard pavements so it's perfect for a buggy in all weathers or little ones on a bike or scooter. I'd definitely recommend it for a little walk.


Having money to go on a trip is one of the things we all want.
Do you want to see the world, but you think that you don't have enough money to do so?
Well, you should think again. Travelling doesn't have to be expensive. There are a heap of ways you can still travel without spending too much.
Here are 20 things that you can do to save money while travelling, and still have fun, right here.
Did you know that by booking your flights early you can save money?
You can even get a significant discount for just booking your flight ahead of time, so if I were you, I would start thinking where I want to go and when will I go there, and reserve my ticket ASAP.
Booking your flights during Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays will surely cost you more money, so you should schedule your trip during the weekdays to get discounts on plane tickets.
Travelling during the off-season can help you to save more money because the accommodation rates can be cheaper and there would be fewer people travelling, so you can enjoy the place better.
Well, it depends on where you want to go, so do your research and find a way to fit it into your schedule.
If you want to learn real travel hacks, then become part of groups travellers. A significant advantage of being in groups for travellers is that you can ask questions and ask for recommendations from other members.
Also, you can meet people who are more experienced in travelling, and contact them to help each other.
Choose countries in which expenses such as food, lodging and transportation are convenient for you. If it is the first time you travel, you may end up spending more money due to lack of travel experience.
Spend a little time each week checking flight prices. If you are flexible with your times and with the countries you want to visit, you can always find great deals on flights. It will help you to save money on flight tickets and will allow you to travel even more.
Do you or your family follow a budget?If you can't seem to find enough money to travel now, then you could add a "for travel"expenses in your monthly budget. This way you can start saving for your next big travel without getting into debt by not taking out a loan or borrowing from others.
Now, this follows a budget thing does not only help you save money at home or help you get more money for your next travel, but it can also help you while you travel.
Following a budget plan during your trips can lessen the expenses that you could make while you enjoy the places that you'll be going to. It can also decrease your chances of making an impulse purchase that may ruin your travel budget plan.
When you travel abroad, there is a need to communicate with your family and friends to inform them about how you are doing and to share your experiences.
The internet has solved most of the problem. However, international calls to cell phones or landlines can be costly, and a good option is to use Skype or Whatsapp for communication.
If you want to save money while travelling use public transport, in several countries transportation can be more expensive, if you use a taxi or uber it will be even cost more.
Find out about the different transportation option available. It could save you some money on transportation.
You can now see and compare different hotels and their rates online without exerting much effort thanks to the Internet and the number of travel websites all over the web these days.
Knowing where you'll be staying during your travel can help you save money because you can get a discount for reserving early, just like when you book your flights and get your tickets way before the day of your travel.
Finding out where you want to go is going to be vital for you to save money, see numbers 1 and 5 above.
Knowing the place where you want to can help you prepare for your trip better, and this can also save you time because you'll know the must-see places that you should go even before you get there.
To save money on your trip, another option that you should not rule out is to eat at street stalls. It is a great delight in places like Thailand, China, India or Brazil.
It is an excellent way to save money and at the same time meet people from all corners of the world. While travelling try to stay in hostels or in shared rooms to save money.
Hostels usually have affordable prices and also have common areas ideal for interacting and getting to know each other.
If you choose to stay in the hostel do not forget to take a lock, often the lockers do not have, and it is safer always to use your own.
In many countries, there are drinking fountains everywhere to refill your bottles. This is not only for saving but for the tremendous damage that makes buying so many small disposable plastic bottles.
Well, asking for your friend's help is never a bad thing. If one of your friends has already been to the place that you want to go, then ask him or her for some tips and advice about the site, and the people there can make things easier for you.
You can even ask for places where you can stay without spending too much money, or what kind of food can you eat there that is both delicious and cheap.
Your friend that went there can tell you money saving tips that you can do while you travel to the place where they already been.
One of the common reasons why people overspend during their travel is because they forget something at home that they'll be needing during their whole trips like their underwear, camera, or even their tickets. That's why it's essential for you to make sure that you have everything you need and that you bring it with you.
You may also want to bring some IDs with you because you may need them at some point, and even your credit card because you never know if you'll be running out of money or not during your travel.
The best way to save on accommodation. Create and complete a profile in this network. Make the payment so that your profile is as verified. Participate in meetings and in forums to create a network of contacts within Couch Surfers. And when it's time to travel, you'll have accommodation almost anywhere you go.
It allows you to stay at the home of a host willing to spend some space in their house, a mattress or room in exchange for cultural exchange.
Hitchhiking is always an excellent way to save hundreds of dollars during travel. Depending on the region and your appearance, it can take 1 to 30 minutes to wait before getting a driver's attention.
You should know that there is nothing guaranteed in this practice and it can be exhausting if you have to wait hours and hours before you board.
If you are not limited by time and want to get started, you will be delighted by the rewarding moments you will experience. You will meet fascinating people who will show you incredible country corners.
Although you always have to pay for something, volunteering will still be cheaper than travelling on your own to a specific country. Also, doing so will allow you to become a responsible person and help people.
It is widely used by travellers who leave for long periods because it is common for volunteer sites to ask you for a minimum period of one month and it consists mainly of accommodation and some Food in exchange for a few hours of work per day.
This volunteering is diverse and ranges from helping in a hostel at the reception and making breakfasts, to teaching your native language, helping in some organic garden, painting murals, etc.
Some verified and secure platforms to find volunteer opportunities are Workaway and Worldpackers.
The less luggage you can carry, the more you will save when buying tickets on trains and planes.
Travelling only with hand luggage has a lot of advantages besides the money you save, it is safer because your belongings are kept with you and do not pass through strange hands and also watch your back, by not carrying unnecessary weight on top.
These tips can help you save money while you travel. Keep safe!

Q: Sitecore 8.2 PaaS (Azure) save xml read-able by all instances We have a Sitecore 8.2 update4 installation up and running as PaaS with 4 CD (web) instances. Due to emergency circumstances the responsible Sitecore developer is currently not available and therefore i'm supposed to find a solution for the problem at hand over this weekend and I hope you might be able to help. Note: I'm not a certified Sitecore developer but a quite experienced C# dev.
Problem:
There is an API called (in code) via http which returns an XML document (very small - just 2 nodes in it). It has been noticed that this is actually being done-/executed for each client who surfs this specific page. Of course this is super bad and also slows the page down (TTFB). So i actually moved the polling to this API to the backend via a scheduled task in Sitecore which works already perfect.
However in my ignorance (I basically have almost no clue about developing against Sitecore) I wanted to store the returning xml document from the API to the local filesystem. This of course will not work when I want to read the XML again in a multi-instance environment.
So in summary I look for a way to store,read and update this xml document so it can be read by all 4 (or more) instances.
I found the following example: Adding a file to the Sitecore Media Library programatically
But of course i'm very uncertain if it makes sense to store it in the MediaLibrary. By reading some older "Content API Cookbook" of SiteCore (remember i do not have access to the dev network of SiteCore) also the "Sitecore.Data.Fields.FileField" seems to be a solution. However, i do not want the field to be visible to ContentEditor's to avoid them modifying it.
Please understand i do not have super much time to learn everything about SiteCore and it is actually not my job to do so, but i offered my help. So a simple solution with a small example (as i could not really find a fitting example online) would be extremly helpful and highly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

A: To avoid having to learn Sitecore and still improve the performance of your page without needing to massively rework the initial implementation, you could look into application memory caching of the response. This also avoids having to manage a file across instances.
By using the application cache, you can ensure that that instance only makes the call the first time it is requested, and then you can release the cache after a period of time to allow another call.
Typically, you would then invoke a method which would check if the cache was empty, and if the cache was empty it would fill it with the value from your API. Set the expiry based on how often you want to poll.
public void AddItemToCache(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if (Cache["MyKey"] == null)
      Cache.Add("MyKey", "SomeXml", null, DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(60), Cache.NoSlidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority.High, onRemove);
}

See the documentation for it on MSDN: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.caching.cache.add?view=netframework-4.7.2

Stellenbosch, South Africa (May 7, 2008) FlightScope?® by EDH Sport, a premier portable indoor-outdoor ball-flight and launch monitor and the world's first-ever 3D tracking radar for golf, is now in use by Derek Ingram, the 2007 and 2003 Canadian PGA Teaching Professional of the Year. Ingram, head teaching professional at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba, also won the Jack McLaughlin Junior Leader of the Year award in 2003, making him the first and only recipient ever to win both national awards.
Derek Ingram is a well-known leader in Canadian golf, and we are delighted that he has integrated FlightScope into his programs, enhancing the learning experience for his students, said Henri Johnson, founder, CEO and Chairman of EDH Sport.
FlightScope, a feature-rich device which is far more than just a golf launch monitor, is being discovered worldwide for its advanced technological attributes. Academies, golf equipment manufacturers, clubfitters, retailers, and green-grass and practice facilities have embraced FlightScope's advanced technology. As part of its expansion in North America, the company is in the process of relocating its entire sales and marketing division to Orlando, Fla., from its headquarters in South Africa.
At Elmhurst Golf and Country Club, where Ingram teaches a spectrum of players from novice through professional, he uses FlightScope for instruction as well as clubfitting. Ingram also is the co-coach and founder of the University of Manitoba men's and women's golf program, as well as the Royal Canadian Golf Association's national team assistant coach and the coach of Canada's National Junior Team.
FlightScope really surprised me, Ingram said. I'm not the most accomplished technology buff, but I find the system easy to use, precise and such a useful tool. I coach a lot of very good players who are often unaware of the true distances they hit their clubs. So in my view, one of the best aspects of FlightScope is that it gives me the ability to help players fill the distance gaps in their bags with the proper clubs. And the accuracy of FlightScope's spin rate measurement allows me to fit balls, too.

Commentary: Impact board squanders millions in opportunity costs
Brian Maffly | The Salt Lake Tribune Since 2014, the Price River Terminal in Wellington has been trans-loading oil from trucks to rail cars, opening a new path for Uinta Basin crude to reach out-of-state markets. It shipped about 7,500 barrels a day to Houston-area refiners in 2018.
By Thomas C. Elder | Special to The Tribune
· Published: June 19
The Utah Community Impact Board, which disburses mineral lease monies, met recently in Vernal. I felt it my civic duty to learn and contribute.
The main item on the agenda was a proposed railway into the Uinta Basin. As the meeting started, a handful of protesters rose and stood, in polite but obvious opposition to the railway project. I was scribbling furiously on a scrap of paper, taking notes in anticipation of speaking. I don't relish confrontation, but I feel strongly about the railway, so I was preparing myself. What follows are the things I learned.
The proposed funding is $21 million of our public monies, which are generated by the fees that companies pay the government to allow them to drill. This money is supposed to be spent on mitigating the effects of industry. Instead, these funds would be dedicated to doing the environmental and engineering studies that would lay the groundwork for a railway.
Though there was mention of "diversification of the economy," most of the discussion was of doubling or quadrupling the amount of oil flowing from the Uinta Basin.
As far as I can see, the $21 million is a direct subsidy to the fossil fuels industry, which has the deepest pockets on the planet. The counties and the industry clamor that the railway is necessary but, in spite of their enthusiasm, they will not put up a single dollar. This was expressly noted by the railway's own promoters, when directly questioned by the board.
In high school economics class, I learned the concept of "opportunity cost." If you spend resources on one thing, then those resources are not available for some other use. In this case, that $21 million could instead have been spent on sewage treatment plants, ball fields, street paving, sidewalks or fire trucks. Indeed, the first part of the meeting was approval of a whole list of such worthy projects throughout the state.
But the decision has been made that the $21 million will be poured into the money pit of the struggling, never-profitable tar sands and oil shale projects (which are the only realistic source for the quadrupled petroleum output the proponents envision). And there's no guarantee the project will ever fly, in which case that 21 million dollars has been squandered with nothing to show for it. Classic opportunity cost.
I added up where the Community Impact Board's millions have been going. It includes $80 million for the Seep Ridge Highway, the spiffiest drive in the state, which dead-ends at an idled tar sands mine on top of the Book Cliffs. Now, with another $21 million for these railway studies, that's a total of $100 million gifted to the fossil fuels industry. Assistant Utah Attorney General Alison Garner was present at the meeting and informed the board that it would be a violation of federal law if the project was primarily to benefit industry. I smelled a lawsuit, possibly a successful one, against the Community Impact Board.
Also, if the railway quadruples the oil output from the basin, but the amount of recoverable oil is finite, then doesn't that mean that we will burn through that oil in one quarter of the time? For example, rather than 40 years delivery at the current rate, the resource would only last 10 years at the expedited railway rate. Isn't this really just "boom and bust" thinking, all over again?
As the meeting neared its end, I leaned forward in my chair in anticipation of my right to make a public comment, but the board quickly voted in favor of funding the $21 million. I was shocked, surprised and irritated. I went up to a central personage on the board and asked, "Do you mean you are going to listen only to the proponents of this obviously controversial plan, and not take public comment from a roomful of concerned people?!"
He replied that the board lets all such comment be taken by the entities they are considering funding, in this case, the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition that is pushing the project. The injustice of it all outraged me. The protesters had been standing at their seats for three and a half hours by now. The meeting broke up around them.
And oh, yes. There was one thing I never heard mentioned once: "Climate change."

I wonder if is possible to connect any external accelerometer and gyro sensor via bluetooth to iphone which will work with Laptimer ?
It is just because build in (iphone) accelerometer is extremly slow (I'm using laptimer on the bike).
Does any one of you know any supported sensor like this ?
I have not yet added support for an external accelerometer. There are some solutions, but I do not see it is worth the effort.
The reason you see a slow rate for the internal accelerometer is that data is fused to GPS fixes for LapTimer up to v21. This means independent from the acceleration rate measured, only one value is stored per second when using the internal GPS.
But there is good news: a) you can increase the rate up to 100 Hz - which is easily enough for anything.
LapTimer v22 will come with adjustable storage rates. As an example, you can set a 20 Hz storage rate and LapTimer will fuse the 1 Hz GPS and e.g. 30 Hz acceleration to the database. You just need to wait for some more days / weeks and get it for free.
About second part of your answer - it is a good news.
Do I understand correctly ?: If I will use external GPS with Ex. 10Hz rate then acceleration will be also 10Hz from internal (iphone) sensor ?
Yes. Acceleration is sampled at 30 Hz by default, smoothed to approximately 10 Hz and stored by fusing it to GPS fixes for v21 and before. So if you add a 10 Hz GOS, you get 10 times the amount of acceleration data. NB: due to a problem with v21.2 on Android, this works for iOS only currently.
Did I understand correctly? This feature is already working on HLT 21.2 IOS? Should I set anything after i choose a 20HZ VBOX Sport as the default GPS sensor? I need more accurate g force data on corners.
Yes. You may try an accelerometer update rate of 20 * 3 = 60 Hz instead of the default rate (30 Hz) optimized for 10 Hz GPSes and below.

In 2023 Scotland will host the World Championships for all cycling disciplines including mountain biking.
Two local businessmen are behind a new mountain bike trail centre that could revolutionise cycle participation in East Central Scotland.
Proposals for the creation of The Pentland Trail Centre, a publicly accessible and family focused mountain bike trail centre, supported by a relevant leisure based commercial development, will be presented at an open public consultation on Tuesday 5 March 2019 at Swanston Golf Clubhouse, 111 Swanston Road, Edinburgh, EH10 7DS, between 14.00 and 19.00 where feedback and comments are invited.
The site for the trail centre is located within the boundary of the former Lothianburn Golf Course, sitting inside both the City of Edinburgh city boundary and the Pentland Hills Regional Park.
The easy to access Pentland Trail Centre will offer an excellent introduction to traffic-free cycling for kids and their families, as well as more challenging cross-country trails for Edinburgh and Midlothian's estimated 260,000 cyclists.
The terrain and location of the site is ideal for 10.5km of high quality and fun mountain bike trails to suit all abilities (from green route for beginners to red route for the more experienced). Other outdoor activities to suit a wide range of ages and interests are being considered for the site. These include a high ropes course, a zipline and an alpine roller luge.
Developed from a 2014 Feasibility Study and subsequent public consultation, The Pentland Trail Centre is an initiative of Hillend Leisure Ltd, a new company established by Alastair McClung (Swanston Farms, the landowner of the Lothianburn site) and Stuart Wright (Advie Properties and formerly responsible for Dobbies' development activities). Both are keen mountain bikers and qualified Mountain Bike Leaders. They have the vision of bringing land ownership, leisure management and leisure-based property development together to deliver a rare opportunity right next to Edinburgh.
The outdoor trail centre, occupying more than 80% of the site, will be supported by a commercial development to include café facilities, changing facilities, relevant retail, office space and accommodation 'pods'. It will be located in the valley to the rear of the Steading Inn and between the northern slopes of the Pentland Regional Park and the central ridge that runs from the old golf clubhouse up to the T woods.
Alastair McClung stated: "Our passion is to introduce mountain biking to a much wider audience, on the perfect site, right next to the city. It's the ideal use of the old golf course site and is a perfect gateway to the rest of the Pentland Hills. By introducing a commercial element the project can move from a vision to reality"
The suitability of the former Lothianburn golf course for a mountain bike trail centre was highlighted in a 2014 Feasibility Study. A subsequent public consultation of the proposals recorded very high levels of local support (more than 96%).
The aims of the Pentland Trail Centre project have been supported by Scottish Cycling as the ideal development to improve cycling participation, with good traffic free trails easily accessible from the City of Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Graeme McLean, Project Manager for Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland at Scottish Cycling, said: "We look forward to being involved in the consultation process for the new Pentland Trail Centre development; and to understand further how it is going to increase participation in mountain biking in Edinburgh and the surrounding area."

A pre-Application Consultation for a mountain bike trail centre in 2015
An extremely positive public consultation process for the original project mountain bike and activity centre plans was undertaken in March 2015. 82% of the responses were unequivocal in their support, with a further 14% offering qualified support. There was considerable excitement about the project with many offers to help and get involved at a community level. The comments also highlighted the perceived very real benefits to the local community and Edinburgh. The project was put on hold as funding options for the project were explored.
The main themes that got regular mentions at the 2015 Pre-Application consultation for the trail centre facility were:
Accessibility to mountain biking for locals and the City as a whole
Ideal learning environment for young cyclists and newcomers to the sport
Gateway to Pentlands, improved accessibility and incentive to participate in outdoor activities
Good use of land
Adds facilities to the local area
Good for schools and families with children
Reduces need to travel to other trail centres
Promotes healthy lifestyle
Employment for locals
Limited impact on environment
Compliments existing range of activities
Edinburgh's Physical Activity and Sport Strategy
(CEC Culture and Sport Committee, March 2014)
"Cycling has a valuable role to play as a means of transport, a leisure activity and as a sport. Edinburgh has one of the highest cycling levels of all urban areas in Scotland but more will be done to continue increasing all forms of cycling."
Scottish Cycling Facilities Strategy
(Scottish Cycling, April 2014)
"The future growth and success of the sport is fundamentally linked, therefore, to re-establishing the importance of dedicated cycle-sport facilities and to securing adequate funding and support to provide safe and accessible facilities for developing riders and racing."

At The Virginia Beer Company, we will feature up to 16 draft selections in the taproom, with at least eight of these rotating on a regular basis. Our plan is for a new beer each week; we want to give our customers a reason to return!
A seasonal rotation, a New World-style Saison series, a variety of cask offerings, and experimental beers from our pilot system will complement our four year-round offerings. The great variety of recipes available in the taproom and throughout Southeast Virginia are made possible by our unique production model: we have essentially built a brewery within a brewery.
Our brewery was custom built for our building by DME out of Prince Edward Island, Canada. We have a large-scale, 30-bbl production brewing system in addition to a smaller-scale, 5-bbl pilot system that allows us to promote creativity and experimentation on a regular basis. Two breweries in one building? Apparently we chose the right business when we left our desk jobs behind!
Brewmaster's Pin: Every Friday afternoon around 4(ish) pm, we will offer a new cask concoction featuring fresh takes and traditional servings of one of our beers. Check our ON TAP page and social media feeds (links found at the bottom of this page) each Friday for information on the newest Brewmaster's Pin!
Complimentary tours are offered EVERY Saturday at 3 pm and 4 pm. Tours are limited to 30 people - first come, first toured! Just let a beertender know that you're interested in the tour when you arrive and keep an eye on the door to the brewery. If you expect to arrive for either tour with a large group, calling ahead (757.378.2903) is appreciated.
We recommend close-toed shoes when taking a tour as a brewery is a working production facility with wood, metal, glass, aluminum, machinery, laboratory liquids, and wet surfaces. Safety first!
For private tours, please use the Book An Event form (also located under the Get In Touch section of the website) to inquire about reserving a tour for your group!
In addition, the taproom at 401 features large viewing windows so that patrons may take in the entire brewery while enjoying the beers brewed mere feet away.

un peu de français... coucou tout le monde !!
it was a very good experience for me as well. I'm interested to continue this project and i hope that energy and time we'll give us the goal.
Well I reached Palestine yesterday evening and I am now in El-Funoun working! The trip back was ok relatively speaking (no major problems!). I just wanted to thank you all for inviting me and for this wonderful opportunity to meet other artist and interact with them on the social, intellectual and artistic level. To me this experience was unique and I can say that I have benefited from many things during this meting. I also feel that I have added to this experience through my work in Palestine - being part of a group and not working as an individual and having to work closely to the Palestinian public and having the privilege in taking decisions concerning the development of dance in my country and sharing this privilege and experience with the others during this meeting. take care.

These prices are a joke, right?
I was in "Best" Buy today, and noticed the prices on a couple items. For a Geek Squad brand 8G USB drive, they wanted $80. I just paid $20 for a Sandisk 8G drive at Costco (although that was on sale, but the regular price is still just $30). And for a 2 Gig PC-5300 DDR2 SODIMM memory module, they were asking $190; the street price is normally $40.
Do they really think their customers are THAT stupid? Or ARE their customers really that stupid?
Beast Buy makes a lot of money, so too many pony up.
Some of their store brands are pathetic. Dynex 400W power supplies can't reliably do 200W, and they used to charge $100 for them.
Of course. Best Buy is for people who don't shop online. The last time I checked prices at Best Buy was for a cigarette lighter power adapter for my cell phone. They had it for $20. It was $4 at Meritline.com. Big difference!
I was wondering where Overstock.com gets those items that are "80% off" and still more expensive than anywhere else.
I miss the days when you could walk into a store and haggle a deal on something.

"I'm so excited - I wanted to come here"
George Pușcaș discusses Madejski move for the first time
George Puscas is a Royal!
The striker speaks after penning a five-year deal to become a Reading player, signing from Italian giants, Inter Milan for an undisclosed fee.
"I'm so excited because I wanted to come here and I want to prove myself here in England," George Pușcaș beamed as he sat down for his first chat as a Reading player, having signed on a five-year deal from Inter Milan just moments beforehand.

The Romania international joined the Royals from Inter on Wednesday evening, and will train with his new teammates for the first time as he gets set to contribute in the blue and white hoops.
"I'm really excited to come and play for Reading - playing in England has been a big ambition for me. I wanted to come, I like English football, when I was little I always looked at this football.
"It's my first time here, I'm excited and I can't wait to start. It's a great challenge for me, a new challenge and I hope it will be a great time for the fans, for me and for the club, so we will have a great result."
Having plied his trade at Inter and on loan spells around Italy with Palermo, Bari and Benevento, the 23-year-old made the step up to represent the Romania national team last year - scoring four times in eight senior caps to date, alongside 18 goals in 25 caps at U21 level.
The striker revealed that Reading's interest in him started earlier in the window, and says he is excited to get going in blue and white.
"When I heard about Reading again, I was happy because this club wanted me so much. It makes me feel good, to come here and prove myself, to show that I can play in this championship.
"I'm a typical striker, in the centre who likes to stay in the area, to help the team to run, who gives his all for the victory because this is most important for the club, for the fans.
"If we win, I'm happy so it doesn't matter who scores, but as a striker I like to score - I live to score.
"I already know the style of the club, I spoke with the coach - he explained to me the movements here and I'm delighted with what I heard."
With rumoured interest from elsewhere in England for the striker's services, the Romania international revealed what it was that set Reading apart.
"It was the love they gave me to come here and the support - it was there for me," he elaborated. "It will be great football for me, I appreciate the coach (José Gomes) because it was him that pushed himself, to show that I can come here.
"These things made me feel that I have to come here, to a new challenge. It's a great club with history, everybody who comes here will give everything for this club and will give everything to push this team for the top of the league."

What Is the Difference Between a Regular Phone Line & a DSL Line?
By Nicole Schmoll
i Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
DSL is a special type of connection used to transmit data at high speeds, for computers televisions and Wi-Fi routers. DSL uses the same wires as a phone does, but requires additional equipment from the service provider, and a subscription from the consumer, before it can function.
Regular Telephone Lines
Standard or regular telephone lines consist of a pair of copper wires installed into your home by a telephone company so that you can receive landline telephone service in your home. These copper lines have plenty of room to transmit voice calls to other phone numbers; so much room in fact that there's lots of extra, unused or leftover room if all you're doing on a phone line is conducting voice calls.
Voice calls are conducted at a frequency of 0 to 3,400 hertz, but the copper wires installed by telephone companies are capable of transmitting frequencies of up to two or three million hertz. Each type of communication operates on a different frequency. Computers, for example, communicate digitally over specified frequencies to ensure the cable is not overloaded.
DSL Lines
Digital subscriber lines transmit digital data over the unused space on normal phone lines. Because the information is digital and not voice in nature, it can be sent on the free space within the cable without disrupting the flow of voice calls conducted at a specific frequency. Because more space is used, more data is able to be sent faster across a network or from servers to individual computers. DSL lines are able to receive data faster than they're able to send it over the Internet, unlike normal phone lines, which transmit voice calls at the same speed. A DSL line service requires a DSL modem but allows you to make and receive voice calls while at the same time connecting to the Internet, much the way cable Internet doesn't interfere with telephone service.
While traditional phone lines are available virtually everywhere, DSL service isn't. A central DSL provider, such as a phone company, must offer the service to an area. If you live too far away from the provider's hub, your DSL signal will be too weak to effectively transmit data at a higher speed. If you're tired of waiting for 10 minutes to view a photo your friend sent you in an email, talk to your phone company about whether or not it offers DSL service. If it doesn't, you may be able to get cable or satellite Internet service, which provides a faster connection than dial-up service on a normal modem and traditional phone line.

The American rug industry began in the second half of the 19th century. Although Americans had been importing European rugs via England since the colonists landed in Massachusetts, tariffs after the Revolutionary War diminished the importation business. Replacing English importations were American manufactories established in southern New England.

The history of rugs in America is extensive; however, today hooked rugs and Navajo rugs are synonymous with American rug design. Settlers who were working with limited resources developed hooked rugs in the 17th century. The rugs continued to be popular through the 19th century. The design motifs on early American hooked rugs varied, consisting predominantly of geometric patterns, floral designs, landscapes, seascapes and animals. No matter what the motif, hooked rugs displayed a great sense of individual expression.

Peace Officers' mourning ribbon
The looped blue over black mourning ribbon pinned at the center with a maple leaf badge is the national symbol for mourning peace officers who have died in the line of duty.
Constable Shawn Coady of the Vancouver Police Department developed the first mourning ribbon in 1994 as a way for peace officers to commemorate their counterparts killed in the line of duty.
Since then the Peace Officers' mourning Ribbon has been endorsed nationally by the Canadian Police Association, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Police Officers, Peace Officers, family, friends and anyone who wishes to mourn and illustrate their support may wear this Ribbon during times of grief including, Peace Officer Memorial Parades, commemorative services or at Regimental or police funerals.
Regular members, at their discretion, may wear the Peace Officer Mourning Ribbon on their uniform on the left breast pocket flap, positioned closest to the heart. It can also be worn in a similar fashion on civilian attire.
Components of the mourning ribbon: The black ribbon symbolizes the mourning of a loss, and the blue ribbon represents the 'thin blue line.' of police officers who have sworn to protect and serve the citizens of their communities.
Police Officers, Peace Officers, family, friends and anyone who wishes to mourn and illustrate their support may wear this Ribbon whenever a peace officer dies in the line of duty.
The peace officer mourning ribbon does not take the place of the poppy on Remembrance Day.

How can you avoid injury and still get the most out of the summer?
Summer sports are All-American favorites: baseball, tennis, swimming, softball, soccer, cycling, ultimate frisbee, surfing, rock climbing, kayaking, beach volleyball, archery, windsurfing, polo, golf, running, and more! But with all these exciting adventures come the risks and hazards associated with being active outdoors in hot and humid weather.
See your primary care doctor regularly.
As with any physical activity, it's crucial to make sure you are fit enough to begin by seeing your primary care doctor regularly. Especially if you've had some time off due to inclement weather or sports injury, starting slowly and prudently is always the best plan. Working with a professional or trainer can be very helpful because he or she can guide you through increasingly vigorous levels of recreation.
Whether your activity has you playing on a team or in solitary reflection, you can still practice safely by always letting someone know where you plan to go to exercise, and carrying a cell phone in case of an emergency. If you are on a team, try and find players who are close to your skill and fitness level, at least at first.
Some discomfort or soreness is to be expected anytime you increase your activity level, but if you feel any pain, be it joint, muscle, or any other kind, stop immediately and see a professional. Working through the pain means you may be ignoring your own body's early warning system that something is awry, and may lead to greater irritation or serious injury. If you have a prior impairment, you should certainly speak with an orthopedic specialist about what level of workout you should aim for.
By following simple precautions and exercising prudent judgment, you can enjoy all the fun and sports this summer has to offer! For more great information about staying active and summer activity, visit our blog.


What I recommend is people to purchase one of the best they will afford and the purpose is to at all times make higher and higher alpacas. If you loved this post and you would like to receive extra information relating to alpacas for sale california kindly stop by our webpage. If you purchase cheaper alpacas you still have a method to go to get a superb herd. It's high quality versus amount. I put collectively packages with a pair females and a male that are fairly cheap. It is actually a variety depending on what you might be in search of. Every time he walks right into a ring he wins a championship. Do you will have any you wouldn't promote since you consider them a pet or a part of the household? We snuggle each morning. If he's out sunbathing I exit and stroke his neck. He is my guy. Do they all have names? Yes, I identify all my infants after theatrical names or one thing that pertains to New York or my time there. Is it terrifying to spend that much money on something when you do not know how successful it'll be? It's, but I feel it was extra terrifying for my household.
