Philly's First Phase of an Elevated Rail Park Opens June 14
The greening of Philadelphia continues as the first phase of the Rail Park — Philly's hotly anticipated elevated park and recreational pathway funded and built by Center City District — gets an official opening date just in time for the start of the summer season.
On Thursday, June 14, a quarter-mile stretch of new urban greenspace opens to the public where the Reading Railroad once ran.
RAIL PARK PHASE I FAST FACTS
The first complete phase of the Rail Park opens on Thursday, June 14.
The section curves southeast from Broad and Noble streets to 11th and Callowhill streets.
Visitors can enjoy lush greenery, plentiful seating, public art and elevated city views.
Entry to the Rail Park is free, with entrances at Broad and Noble streets, 13th and Noble streets and Callowhill Street between 11th and 12th streets.
Phase I's footprint stretches from Broad and Noble streets, jumps up to the Reading Viaduct overhead and ends above the 1100 block of Callowhill Street. When visitors traverse the first piece of the park, they can look forward to lush plants and trees, public art by local artists, plenty of seating and space for gathering, bench-style swings and first-rate elevated city views.
Phase I of the Rail Park project turns a quarter-mile stretch of abandoned train tracks into a spacious elevated park with plenty of trees, plants and places to relax.
Inspired by urban elevated parks like the High Line in New York and Promenade Plantée in Paris, three distinct sections make up the plans for the Rail Park: the Viaduct, a half-mile-long elevated iron pathway that's twice the width of the High Line; the Cut, which spans 9 blocks and dips 30 feet below street level; and the Tunnel, a 3,000-foot-long industrial stone passageway made of vault and brick. Phase I makes up part of the Viaduct.
When the three sections come together, the resulting pedestrian-friendly pathway will connect 10 different Philadelphia neighborhoods to Fairmount Park and Center City and transform the site of two obsolete Reading Railroad lines into a vibrant public space.
The plan for the Rail Park sprouted from a neighborhood organization's vision to build a public park in place of the abandoned Reading Viaduct. In 2010, that organization — now known as Friends of the Rail Park — partnered with Center City District to begin work on Phase I of the Rail Park.
Over the next eight years, Center City District commissioned an environmental and feasibility analysis, commissioned a concept and schematic design study (with the city's Commerce Department and the Department of Parks & Recreation) and hosted neighborhood meetings and online surveys. Contributions from the William Penn Foundation and Poor Richard's Charitable Trust also aided in the park's creation.
Once complete, the entire park will connect 10 neighborhoods to Center City and Fairmount Park.
Grab some fresh air and see the promising beginnings of this elevated park starting June 14.

How Accenture Does IT
Going beyond with extended reality
March 16, 2022 7-MINUTE READ
Accenture believes the future of meeting, learning and working together will combine physical and virtual experiences to transform the enterprise.
Advancements in 3D, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enable companies, including Accenture, to create immersive experiences that are shared and equal.
Accenture's Nth floor metaverse is enabling employees to meet, learn and collaborate in new ways.
Transcending the real world
As more people are embracing the virtual world to better connect, a continuum of technologies and experiences are growing in popularity—and offering huge potential for future ways of learning and working. Accenture is recognized as an early leader in this space, applying technologies, such as extended reality (XR) and digital twins, to deliver breakthrough solutions for more than a decade.
With the belief that physical and virtual experiences will co-exist in future ways of working, Accenture is moving boldly into the metaverse to create workplace experiences, where our people can participate, contribute and feel like they belong, regardless of where they work.
Working closely with Microsoft, Accenture started this journey pre-pandemic by building a virtual campus called the "Nth floor" for people to gather and participate in community events. Soon after the pandemic hit, Accenture began building on these capabilities for onboarding new employees and then extended them to serve learning and collaboration needs within the organization.
Podcast: How VR fits into the digital experience
Accenture's metaverse: The Nth floor
A new era of digital change is being ushered in by the metaverse—a convergence of physical and digital worlds that enables people to move beyond "browsing" to "inhabiting" in a shared experience. Enhanced by advancements in 3D, AR and VR, it's where people can meet and where digital assets—land, buildings, products, and avatars—can be created, bought and sold.
Accenture's enterprise metaverse, known as the Nth floor, refers to the virtual environments we have created to bring Accenture people together to meet, collaborate and learn. Whether hosting meetings or socializing, the metaverse is a versatile, scalable solution for bringing a geographically distributed workforce together.
In addition, Accenture has created digital twins of many of its physical offices, from Bangalore in India to Madrid in Spain and San Francisco in the United States to provide familiar environments for its people to meet, collaborate and network.
Digital twins: Our virtual offices
Onboarding new hires
The first few days as a new employee are crucial to talent retention. However, a Gallup poll found only 12% of employees reflected favorably on job onboarding experiences – and that was prior to the pandemic. These experiences crucial to shaping the path forward for an employee.
Within our Nth floor metaverse, a virtual campus called One Accenture Park is helping new employees personally connect with the culture and plant the seeds of professional relationships. This type of immersive experience enables new hires to experience "orientation" in a more personal way and meet many more people doing so. This year, 150,000 new hires are working from the metaverse on their first day at Accenture.
As we continue to invest in our people, this VR program enables us to use new ways of connecting with each other to practice soft skills, such as sales conversations and orals, giving and receiving feedback, as well as coaching and mentoring. There's also growing evidence to support immersive VR instruction. In the latest Accenture report, Meeting the New Reality: Immersive Learning, we found that a majority of learners (70%) forgot training content within 24 hours and virtually all (90%) forgot after a month. Interestingly, a study also found immersive VR instruction offered a path to achieve 33% higher learning retention when compared to video.
VR enables new ways of connecting in the workplace
Taking this idea enterprise-wide, Accenture has started introducing new learning content in VR this year. For example, our new "VR Cybersecurity Adventure" course provides a gamified experience that takes users through an immersive journey set in both real and fantasy environments. The training asks users to defend themselves against hackers, scammers, fraudsters and cyberbullies as the user's knowledge of safe cybersecurity practices is put to the test using select VR headsets.
Since the pandemic began, Accenture has held hundreds of community gatherings in immersive spaces where people can connect, learn and better collaborate because they're in the same place together. For example, at an annual strategy meeting with our client account leaders, we created a virtual lounge using a combination of avatars and realistic meeting spaces to provide a deeper sense of connection. The result: more than 150 managing directors in 25 countries enjoyed face-to-face time from their own locations.
"XR helps our people go beyond in-person experiences to discover the art of the possible and reach new levels of workplace innovation."
— JASON WARNKE, Senior Managing Director – Global IT, Global Digital Experiences Lead, Accenture
XR excellence foundation
Our strategy is grounded in using XR to develop a sense of community and enhance our culture. It focuses on three foundational pillars: experience, adoption and infrastructure.
Mobilize the Accenture metaverse where our people can learn, onboard and collaborate.
Explore new ways to engage our people, both professionally and personally.
Create meaningful content that delights our people.
Innovate and iterate with our ecosystem relationships to provide the best experience for our people—making it a seamless experience from reality to VR.
Manage user acceptance of XR across a variety of countries and diverse populations.
Fuel adoption with a strong strategy that ties to daily ways of working and user needs.
Weave XR into the fabric of Accenture and create opportunities for our people to continue to innovate and discover.
Create a strong change network to enable our people to be experts and inspire others to create consistent usage.
Determine our device strategy and key components needed to be effective.
Determine how to roll out headsets across the globe and use our extensive user base for feedback.
Engage our IT support teams to add new devices to their support scope.
As we look to the future, the introduction of new platforms—such as the platform Microsoft Mesh that's designed to make app creation easier—offers the promise of new forms of mixed reality collaboration in the metaverse.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a three-dimensional, computer generated environment that can be explored and interacted with by a person.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world to provide a composite view.
Mixed Reality (MR) is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations, where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time.
Extended Reality (XR) includes virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), augmented reality (AR), haptics, holograms, and immersive tools and diverse worlds that use and enhance our natural senses.

One might have thought that Tagg Romney's visit to Harvard on Tuesday was akin to a trip behind enemy lines.
In the past year, former Massachusetts Gov. W. Mitt Romney, who received a joint degree from the Business and Law schools in 1975, has criticized his alma mater's support of stem cell research and repeatedly chided the university's decision a year ago to host former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, including in a radio ad released just last month.
But at a campaign event held on Tuesday night at Emerson Hall and attended by roughly 30 Romney supporters, Tagg Romney, the eldest of the five Romney sons, said he did not feel that his father's comments have had much impact on how Harvard students viewed the elder Romney-now a leading Republican presidential candidate.
Tagg Romney, a 1998 graduate of the Business School and a senior advisor to his father's campaign, said there was an unspoken undercurrent of support for Romney's criticism of Harvard.
"My dad is not going to win the majority of Harvard votes," he said. But "it is so important to encourage young people to get involved and wonderful to see so many Romney supporters at this meeting."
Romney did not back away from his father's statements. He said, for instance, that it was Harvard's "obligation" to pressure rather than host people associated with the ruling regime in Iran.
"Harvard led the way in reforming South Africa during the 1980s by applying political and economic pressure," Tagg Romney said. "Harvard never would have invited a white supremacist or apartheid supporter to speak."
In his talk, Romney focused on his father's ideals and the qualities that he said made him the best candidate for president. Calling his father the "best problem solver I know," Romney stressed the former Massachusetts governor's commitment to health care, family values, and education.
While he explained that his father "doesn't think religion should play no role [in politics]," he emphasized that the American values of "faith, hard work, honesty, and love of family," are most important in changing America for the better.
Jeffrey Kwong, the president of the Harvard Republican Club said the involvement of Tagg Romney and his family "plays to the strength of [Romney's] campaign."
"The best way to learn about a candidate is through his or her family," Kwong said. Romney, in his remarks, echoed those sentiments.
Romney said his role as his father's senior adviser is the most honest form of campaigning. "You can't fake family."

If you are a Francie collector and a Silkstone collector, today was your day. The Barbie Fan Club opened orders for the much anticipated Fuchsia N' Fur BFC exclusive Francie Silkstone .
Photo I snapped of her at Barbiecon. She is really cute in person.
Another offering for those Francie collectors in our midst is Kitty Corner Francie. She is also Silkstone and the IRL ( In Real Life) photos that are surfacing of this lady show something better than the promo shots would suggest. She is really quite adorable and I think I might have to get this one too.
She retails for $85.00. Those Silkie Francies don't come cheap now do they?!
This entry was posted on August 15, 2012 by raberry65. It was filed under Barbie, Francie, Silkstone and was tagged with BFC Exclusive, Francie, Fuschia N'Fur Francie Silkstone, Kitty Corner Francie, Kitty Corner Francie Silkstone, Silkstone Francie.
Yayyy! I ordered her yesterday! I want Kitty Francie too! She is so pretty!
Hope you get her soon. I just love these little ladies and I am not even a Francie collector myself.


Making money from sports wagering is easier said than done. If it were as simple as having a good knowledge of the sport on which you are betting and sticking to that, we would send bookmakers broke. And clearly, sportsbooks are thriving in this age of connectivity.
That said, here are 10 tips to help you, if not win a fortune, maximise your chances of at least staying afloat.
These are lessons learnt over many years of betting by the team at the World Gambling List and are not necessarily ranked in order of importance.
Rather than just hand out random "expert" tips on Team X to beat Team Y at Sport Z, as many sports betting websites are wont to do, we will give you advice to call on again and again in the ongoing battle against the world's sportsbooks.
If you can find a snippet here to help you on your gambling journey, we will consider this endeavour a success.
This is imperative. You must be disciplined enough not to lose control when you have a couple of losing bets. Do not seek to win your money back on the next available game. No one can win all the time. Wait for the right game, where you feel you know enough to get back on the winning path. Set out your bets for a day and accept the results. There is always another day.
Every so often you should start afresh on your gambling exploits. Pick an amount you can afford to lose and have this as your bankroll. We certainly don't plan to lose but it is always a possibility. Now set your bet amount, generally around 5 per cent of your total bankroll. For example, if your bank is $1000, your standard bet could be $50. As your bank increases or decreases, adjust your 5 per cent bet accordingly. You could over time double your bankroll to $2000, meaning your 5 per cent bet becomes $100. Keep track of where you are up to. Only rarely should you stray from your standard bet; possibly if you think the bookies have it wrong when framing a particular market.
A wise man once told us "money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.'' It can be hard to keep faith in this theory when your funds are running dry, but you must play the long game in gambling. You will have losing days … but ultimately your success or failure will largely depend on how you respond to these days.
We've all been there. Multiplying the odds on half a dozen "dead certs'' and coming up with juicy odds, putting on our stake and expecting to cruise to easy dollars. Only for the first contender to suffer a shock loss and then watching helplessly as the next five legs come up. You need to be more patient than this. Sure, take multiple selections but also make sure you have a collect on the individual results you fancy.
This sounds simple but that is not always the case. This is where judgement becomes crucial. Consider an upcoming match and rate the chances of each team. With experience you will be able to express this information in odds form. Then check how the bookmakers and sportsbooks have rated the teams and look for the disparities. Don't be afraid to back your judgement but also consider that those setting the odds for the sportsbooks are usually experienced operators, though many would argue many bookies simply feed off what others have put up. You need to learn which bookies are first up with the odds to get first crack at any perceived value.
Avoid the temptation to, for example, gamble on an NHL match just because it is the next thing on the TV at your favourite bar. If you don't know much about a sport, leave it alone. Sure, it feels good to have a live bet to add an edge to your viewing but that is not how successful sports punters operate. They have second-to-none knowledge of the product and know all the last-minute details of a game. Don't give up whatever edge you may have in one sport by squandering funds on another.
This is a non-negotiable for the serious sports bettor. Why take $2.10 when $2.15 is available elsewhere? These seem like trifling differences but when you are working towards winning, these small percentages can make all the difference, particularly as your bankroll and turnover grow. Also, you will be able to take advantage of more promotional offers if you are signed up at all the best bookies. And to spread your funds around if you are in danger of being limited at a particular betting operator.
While we preach staying patient and thinking more about the long-term status of your bankroll, there are times when you feel as though the great Bernie Lootz (William H. Macy from The Cooler) is sitting on your shoulder. Personally if I strike out four times in a row on head-to head betting I take it as a hint I am colder than a mother-in-law's kiss. If you hit a rough streak, consider taking a break. Dust off the golf clubs or tennis racquet or dig out the darts. Some time away can clear your mind for the task at hand: beating the bookies.
In professional sports, little is left to chance. Players prepare rigorously, game plans are employed and discarded and the opposition is studied in great detail. Form, head-to-head records and so on are great references for the sports gambler, but sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference, particularly when you are betting at the line. Is a favourite son of the team playing or coaching a milestone match? Is a team regaining or losing players from or to injury? Are the teams derby rivals? Has one team been roasted in the media in the lead-up to a game? Do they have scores to settle? Any little snippet could prove invaluable.
Keep a close watch on your results over time and play to your strengths. If you are consistently winning on the English Premier League even though you feel you know more about the NBA, you need to run with it for a while. It may be that your judgement is less clouded on a sport in which you are not as emotionally invested. Which brings us to another point. If you can't be detached and clinical when assessing games involving your favourite team or teams, maybe you should leave those games out of your betting mix. When it comes to winning on sports betting, it's head over heart every time.
The Cooler (2003). William H. Macy, Alec Baldwin. One of the great gambling movies. OK, so it's not really about sports betting but we love it anyway. A World Gambling List team favourite.
Two for the Money (2005). Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey, Rene Russo. A high-octane romp. Cheesy but worth watching.
Owning Mahowney (2003). Philip Seymour Hoffman, Minnie Driver. A superb outing for the late, great Hoffman. He plays a bank manager who starts out gambling on sport before getting a little carried away at the casinos of the U.S.
The Color of Money (1986) Paul Newman, Tom Cruise. Directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Cruise when he was still Cruise. Welcome to the world of high-stakes pool.
Big shot – Confessions of a Campus Bookie (2002). College boy becomes sports bookie before winding up in deep trouble. A well-worn tale but worth a look.

Considerations Before Beginning
Early on, give thought to the visuals that will demonstrate your work and add value to your final report.
Carefully consider which software you will use for the document. Common options are Word and Publisher.
InDesign should only be used if the majority of your group members have previous experience using it.
Your report will be available to the public online and will also be printed. It should be formatted in a way that allows it to easily be printed.
Pages must be formatted to be printed on size 8 ½" x 11" paper.
Portrait orientation is recommended but landscape is allowed.
Page orientation is to remain the same throughout the document.
A page layout using two columns throughout is permissible if chosen.
Printing equipment typically does not have the capability to print in the last quarter inch of the page margin. Each page is to have at least a .4 margin to accommodate binding.
Margins should be consistent throughout the entire report.
Font size is 10–12-point for the body of the report.
You may use 12-point font for major headings.
When referring to your group in the report, avoid use of the words "we", "us", "our", etc.
Referring to the group as the "planning team" is an acceptable alternative, yet should only be used minimally in the final report.
Line spacing is single or 1.5
Spacing after each paragraph is 6 pt.
Page Numbers
Pages numbers before the beginning of chapter 1 should be in lower case Roman numberals.
Starting on the first page of first chapter, pages are numbered using Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.).
Page numbers may be located in the upper or lower right-hand corner or the bottom center of the page and must be consistent throughout.
If the report orientation is landscape, special attention is to be paid to the page numbers in the design layout as the page number location will need to be different on odd and even pages.
Blank pages are to be labeled, "Page intentionally left blank".
Page Order
IISC cover page (template on the IISC website)
IISC disclaimer page (included as part of the above template)
Cover page created by the project team (see below)
List of Tables and List of Figures
Body of the report divided into numbered and labeled sections, parts or chapters. The first is to be an Introduction of the project.
References (Alternatively, use of endnotes at the end of each chapter.)
Cover Pages
IISC provides a template for their cover page which includes the IISC "disclaimer" page immediately after it. The disclaimer contains information regarding support for the project, alternate formats available, mandatory antidiscrimination clause, etc.
The team's cover page design is created by the students. It includes:
names of student team members
month and year of the final report
Community coordinators
Community project leader
IISC staff
Any other contributors
URP logo
IISC logo
Community partner's logo(s)
The executive summery contains all the pertinent information needed to understand general findings and recommendations.
It summarizes the report in such a way that readers can quickly become acquainted with the report without having to read the entire document.
The Table of Contents page should be numbered in lower-case Roman numberals at the bottom center of the page.
Do not include the preliminary pages that come before it.
Include the Appendices with the corresponding page numbers.
Entries should not run into the page number column.
Page numbers should be vertically aligned by the rightmost digit.
It will be easier for the reader to navigate the electronic version of the report if the page numbers in the table of contents are formatted to jump directly to that section in your document. (Word has this feature under the References tab.)
List of Tables/List of Figures
Create a List of Tables and a List of Figures, if the report contains them.
Use the same font and formatting as the table of contents.
The List of Tables and List of Figures should have a page number in lower-case Roman numerals at the bottom center of the page.
Tables and figures in the body of the report must contain labels and be numbered in consecutive order.
Table and figure labels and numbers are to be located outside of the graphic.
Double check that when tables/figures are referred to within the text, they are referring to the correct number of the table/figure.
Maps are to be consistent throughout. For example, maps are to be in the same projections in GIS, ideally UTM NAD zone 15. However, it is understood that a map created by a source outside of URP may dictate the projection.
All maps are to contain a title, the data source with year, a legend, north arrow and scale.
High quality photos will enhance the quality of the final report. Groups should take pictures at all community engagement activities for use in the final report, as well as promotion of IISC and URP. Be sure to take some photos of the planning team interacting with community members.
The "rule of thirds" is a simple composition technique that can produce visually appealing photos. The "rule of thirds" aligns the subject of the picture with the guidelines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section. Basic cropping and editing of photos can also accomplish this effect and enhance quality.
Quality photos contain action rather than lone buildings.
All photos are to have captions, unless they are clearly a design element of the report.
Photos taken by someone other than the authors are to include the source. Permission to use the photo should be obtained from the source.
Finalizing the Report
The report contents are to have all been shared with the project partners before the report is finalized. There should be no surprises to the partners when they receive the final document.
It is recommended that the report be printed (black and white is fine) and submitted to the IISC Assistant Director, Travis Kraus, for a design review before it is completed for the final deadline.

The Mountains Look Different
A very strange offering from the Mint, the company that, for nearly a quarter of a century, has provided theatregoers with an enriching, fascinating selection of plays, mostly from the early twentieth century, that have been lost in the mists of time. This one, by Micheál Mac Liammóir, from 1948, concerns the return of Tom Grealish (Jesse Pennington) and his new bride, Bairbre (Brenda Meany), from London to Tom's family home, a poor farm in the mountains of Connemara, in western Ireland. A warm welcome from Martin (Con Horgan), Tom's hardened father, is not forthcoming. In the first act, the three main characters engage in some proto-Pinteresque psychosexual intrigue. But then the play devolves into lurid melodrama, the mystery flattened. The disparate, eldritch acting styles encouraged by the director, Aidan Redmond, don't help, and the sudden, redundant curtain line feels like Mac Liammóir just stopped writing.
