At 6ft you may be an average joe in some states unless you are a female, where 5ft 10inch is a normal height among males and 5.6 feet among females.
Skin tone has an impact on height impressions..
Jumping exercises, like jump squats,are one of the best ways to increase the height. It supports the conditioning of the muscles and joints of the lower body and improves the height of the body.
But yes, you are very tall as the average 12-year-old is 4′11″ for both genders. If you haven't started puberty yet, you will probably be something like 6′4″.

No it is rather normal. The average here is 171 cm for women and 184 cm for men. … 170 cm would put a woman in the USA at the 85th percentile. That means that you are taller than 85% of adult women, so you are taller than average, but not excessively so.
It's taller than average, but not too tall. The average boy on their 11th birthday is 4'9" or 4'10". … For a boy on his 11th birthday, at 5'0", you'd be in the 75th percentile for height. That means you're taller than 75%, well above the majority, of all the other 11 year old boys.
Originally Answered: Is 5 foot tall for a 10-year-old? Yes, that is very tall for both sexes. This may be caused by either precocious (early) puberty or both parents being extremely tall (mother above 6 foot, father above 6′4).
Originally Answered: Is a height of 5′2″ short for girls? It is below the average of 5′5-5'7. However it is certainly not a bad thing. Forgive me if you are young but alot of men do like shorter females.
If you follow the CDC growth chart the average height for 12-year-old boys, meaning those at the 50th percentile, is 58.7 in, which is 4.8 inches tall. By the age of twenty, the average height of an American man is 69.1 inches or just over 5 feet 9 inches tall.
Boys tend to show the first physical changes of puberty between the ages of 10 and 16. They tend to grow most quickly between ages 12 and 15. The growth spurt of boys is, on average, about 2 years later than that of girls. By age 16, most boys have stopped growing, but their muscles will continue to develop.
Originally Answered: Would you consider 5'7 tall for a woman or slightly above average height? … Yes you are tall for a woman and slightly above average height.
The ideal height for a woman, according to the average man, is 5'6". Notably, this excludes 10% of men who say there is no such thing as too short and 9% who say no height is too tall. Similarly, there is no "too short" for 4% of women and no "too tall" for 7%.

Home Facts Should Sport Hunting be Allowed in Uganda?
Should Sport Hunting be Allowed in Uganda?
Last night in Kampala there was a forum held by Nature Uganda about whether sports-hunting should be used as a wildlife management tool in Uganda. This is obviously a hot issue, with strong feelings on either side. I invite you to read this post, and then vote in the attached poll
Speakers:Achilles Byaruhanga, Executive Director of NatureUganda
Sam Mwandha, Director Conservation, Uganda Wildlife Authority
Dr. Richard Lamprey, Technical Advisor, Flora and Fauna International
Philip Chollet, Owner, Karamojo Safaris LTD
Sport hunting in Uganda is an activity that falls under "Wildlife Use Rights" in the Wildlife Act of 2000, as one of six ways that wildlife can be "used" to benefit people and the economy in general. After nearly 90% of the wildlife in the country was decimated in the 1970s under the Idi Amin regime, all hunting was made illegal to allow wildlife populations to recover. However, poaching continues to be rampant. The Wildlife Authority decided that the populations of some species had recovered enough that they instituted a pilot sport-hunting concession around Lake Mburu National Park in 2001 (it is important to note that no hunting will be allowed inside the national parks). The pilot period was subsequently extended twice, and finished in October 2009. The Uganda Wildlife Authority website states:
"The overall objective of granting WUR is to promote sustainable extractive utilization of wildlife by facilitating the involvement of landowners and users in managing wildlife on private land. The underpinning principles are that;
Sustainable extractive utilization of wildlife can provide cultural, customary, and socio-economic benefits at the local, district and national levels.
The consumption of wildlife resources could contribute significantly to food security and poverty reduction in rural areas.
Profit motive and leisure factors are important in encouraging private sector and community involvement in wildlife conservation and management.
Benefits accruing from WUR leads to better wildlife management and increase in animal populations in those areas where they have been depleted."
Many more official details about Use Rights can be found at: http://www.ugandawildlife.org
The main arguments against sport hunting at this time are based on questions about whether the population sizes of the targeted species are actually viable, and whether the data the Wildlife Authority is using to set quotas is accurate. There are also concerns about the transparency of the concessions granting process and the oversight of the actual hunt.
Here is a link to an article that covers some of the concerns: http://www.eturbonews.com/12343/uganda-s-new-hunting-license-promises-more-controversy
Here are some highlights from each of the speakers:
Achilles Byaruhanga, Executive Director of Nature Uganda
As the host of the evening, Achilles was primarily setting the stage for the discussion. He pointed out a number of concerns that he has with the current arrangements for sport hunting.
It seems that some of the quotas are not based on current population surveys.
What message is being sent to the local communities? They are still not allowed to hunt, but they will now see wealthy foreigners coming in to hunt. They may even come to believe that hunting, in general, is now allowed since they will see others hunting, and meat from wild game will be consumed openly in communities (after a kill, the meat is often given to the communities since the sport hunter primarily wants the horns or skin).
Uganda Wildlife Authority has very sparse staffing in the areas where these hunts will take place. Will they really be able to patrol these areas?
If the one of the main arguments for sport hunting is the livelihood benefits to the communities, how many animals will you have to kill at a price of $150 – $5,000 (depending on the species) to really have an impact on the communities?
The concessionaire signs a 24-month agreement, which allows them to immediately begin operations, but their management plans are not due until the end of the 24 months. This basically allows them to operate with no management plan for the duration of their concession.
Sam Mwandha, Director of Conservation, Uganda Wildlife Authority
The Uganda Wildlife Authority position is based on what they say are observed increases in wildlife numbers in the areas where hunting has been happening during the pilot phase. He started his talk by stating that for the sport hunting companies, "Their business isn't sport hunting, their business is wildlife management." Here are some other points from his talk:
There are five companies who have been given concessions in a total of 8 hunting blocks.
2% of a species' total population is the maximum quota, and most of the quotas set in Uganda are below that threshold.
Hunters want trophies, so they focus on the old males, leaving the females and young males alone.
When they approve a permit to hunt a hippo or a leopard, they focus on "problem animals." Only 5 leopards have been killed by sport hunters in the last 3 years.
The populations of hunted species are skyrocketing [note – he showed graphs that showed a more-than-tenfold increase in some species in five years. During the discussions afterwards, many people expressed doubts about the numbers.]
The income local communities have derived through sport hunting has improved local attitudes towards wildlife, which has reduced the amount of poaching.
He confirmed that the hunting companies can operate for 24 months without a plan, but that it would not make good business sense for them to do that since they rely on healthy animal populations.
Communities can benefit a lot financially from sport hunting. The permit fee (ranging from $150 – $5,000 depending on the animal) is divided up as follows: 45% to the community wildlife association (for development projects), 30% to landowner, 15% to Uganda Wildlife Authority, 5% to local government, 5% to community protected-area institution. [note – the Uganda Wildlife Authority gets most of its income through selling the actual concession for the hunting block to the outfitter]
Richard Lamprey has been involved in parks management in many parts of Africa and has been involved in decision-making around sport-hunting in Tanzania. His talk was the most balanced of the evening, and I honestly couldn't have told you at the end whether he is for or against sport hunting in Uganda.
He started his talk by saying that to truly get involved with this debate, you need to begin to understand the mentality of the dedicated sport hunter, who is passionately dedicated to the hunt and who will willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to do it (currently a 7-day hunt for sitatunga in the Ssesse Islands of Uganda costs about $20,000).
Here are some of the points he made:
Sport hunting can bring a huge amount of money into a country. The "Daily Rate" that a hunter here pays is about $1,000 on top of permit fees, lodging, transportation, etc.
In Tanzania, one study showed that 600 hunters per year bring the same amount of money into the country as 200,000 game viewers (people who go on a non-hunting safari). That is a lot of money that can be used for wildlife management. [and possibly a lower overall impact on wildlife given the smaller numbers]
The idea behind all "Wildlife Use Rights" is to put a value on wildlife. If local villagers can earn significant revenue by supporting sport hunting, they will want wildlife numbers to increase and will be less likely to allow poaching on their lands.
Hunting companies pay $10,000 – $30,000 for each "hunting block" per year depending on the country. Tanzania has about 120 of these blocks, so it is a significant source of income.
There are very few studies in Africa showing a change in animal populations (up or down) due to sport hunting because very little data is available.
For communities to really benefit from sport hunting, they need strong, transparent community institutions to reduce the possibility of corruption.
Because there is so much money to be made in the sport hunting industry, there is huge competition for hunting blocks and, thus, strong possibility for higher-level corruption between outfitters and authorities.
There is not the strong control over illegal hunting practices (hunting from a car, baiting, using dogs, hunting with a spotlight at night, etc) that was in place in the early days of African big-game hunting.
There is a lot of incentive for hunting companies to engage in illegal hunting practices. If your client payed $20,000 to kill a sitatunga and didn't get one, will he come back to you next year?
The block rates that go directly to Uganda Wildlife Authority have the potential to be a very important source of revenue to fund their park management operations (the parks currently operate at a loss)
There are already some signs of possible corruption. One active outfitter that currently holds 3 of the 8 hunting blocks was removed from operations in the early 2000s for taking hunters into a national park. Also, in a review of contracts that went through PPDA (Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority), 60% were found to be flawed. As wildlife are a public asset in Uganda, it is my understanding that this is the body that is ultimately responsible for approving concessions.
All quotas need to be made public, since wildlife is a public asset.
The Wildlife Authority can use on-line tools to help monitor illegal activities. There are "Hunt Report" websites where sport hunters post accounts of their trips to Africa and other parts of the world. They will often mention in their reports if their guides did anything (even illegal things) to help insure a "good hunt."
Philip Chollet, Owner, Karamojo Safaris LTD.
With Filip's talk, we were able to get a glimpse of the passion of the hunter that Dr. Lamprey referred to. He started his slide presentation with images of an eland that was wounded by poachers. Clearly, his main thrust was to emphasize that sport hunting can reduce poaching. Here are some of his points:
With no animals there are no hunters. With no hunters, there are no animals. Hunters are strong advocates for conservation because they want to be able to continue to hunt.
If nobody "owns" the wildlife or if they don't benefit from it, they will kill it. [tragedy of the commons]
If one hunter comes to an area for 2 weeks and kills one buffalo, the local communities get 4 million shillings (about $2,000) through their share of the permit, the hiring of trackers, porters, etc. By contrast, when an eco-tourist comes to one of the game parks on safari, the local communities get almost nothing.
If the communities keep benefitting from sport hunting, will they allow poachers to continue?
Wildlife is a commodity.
Ecosystems are not self-regulating and the only way to control animal populations is for hunters to kill them. [hmmmm…]
In one of their hunting concessions, the Pian-Upe game reserve, you will find illegal snares every 500 meters. When sport hunters are out every day they can patrol for and remove snares and, again, if the communities are benefitting they will also put pressure on the poachers to stop.
General Discussion:
There was a lot of discussion around whether the survey numbers that Uganda Wildlife Authority was using are accurate. It doesn't seem possible that impala numbers could increase from 5,000 to 35,000 in less than ten years. Aggrey Rwetsiba, Director of Research for UWA, admitted that they had switched survey methods between the earlier and later numbers and that animal population counts are very difficult to do accurately.
If 30% of the permit fee goes to the landowner where the animal was killed, and most people are too impoverished to own land, it is a fair distribution of the revenue?
The owner of a lodge in Lake Mburu National Park pointed out that the quotas are based on total populations in the area, both inside and outside the park, while hunting is only allowed outside the park. He argued that the quotas should only be based on the average populations outside the park since that's where the hunting takes place.
The same lodge owner claimed that there have already been impacts on game viewing opportunities in the parks. In Lake Mburu NP he has observed that the eland herds have become more skittish, as they have nearly all been shot at at some point. This could have a serious impact on eco-tourism, which is still the primary form of tourism in the country.
There were also questions about whether ecotourism and sport hunting are compatible. In general, eco-tourists don't want to be in a place where animals are being shot.
Inconclusion (yes, I meant to spell it like that):
Sport hunting has the potential to increase livelihoods in communities around Uganda National Parks and other protected areas, fund the wildlife management activities of the Wildlife Authority, and reduce poaching which could result in increased wildlife populations. At the same time, it is unclear whether the animal populations here are ready for hunting, there is a lack of trust in government institutions to manage the process in a legal and transparent way, and there are concerns about the impacts of sport hunting on other forms of tourism.
There was virtually no discussion about whether hunting is "right" or "wrong," which is perhaps not surprising in an African context. Hunting is being used as one component of wildlife management around the world (think about deer permits in the U.S.), and it does have the potential to bring far more money into local communities than game viewing.
So what do you think? Should sport hunting be allowed in Uganda?

An American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk a few days ago twitted about Boston-New-York-Washington Hyperloop project which was approved by state government officials. According to Elon Musk, sound-speed underground transport will have to more stops in Philadelphia and Baltimore.
As Elon Musk said, this is going to be the longest tunnel which was ever built by humans. But it wouldn't have the same speed as planned by Elon Musk, because of inefficiencies of new technology.
Tesla CEO reported that, in near future, Hyperloop transport system will get passengers from New York to Washington just in 29 minutes. But, Bloomberg reporter wrote that the project still needs to be improved and should have some more engineering research results and a sort of big money to build it then.
According to Bloomberg, New York's Second Avenue Subway construction work's project holders are spending 2.2 billion US dollars per mile of a subway tunnel. It needs, at least, 10 years to finish this kind of big intercity project. For luckiness of New Yorkers, Musk is persuading that Hyperloop in the north-east coast of the US will be done till 2019. By this time, New York Subway's new projects will be moved toward to 8 more miles at all.
It wasn't easy to build railways from the very times. For example, grandson of Mayflower's Protestant Hartwell Carver had an idea of creating transcontinental railway system. Whatever was said in the US Congress, he stood in his idea and realized it in almost 22 years. Railway connected Michigan Lake with the Pacific Ocean.
Once John F. Kennedy, an ex-president of the US, said in his speech in front of Rice University students that that decade American should be the first who steps on the Moon. "We didn't choose this way not because we are sure for realizing it, but because it's really challenging and difficult to be done", JFK said.
Musk's project is also stood in this challenging line. He is working to improve the business strategy of Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and Solar City and trying to find time for alternative futuristic projects like Hyperloop. That's why he became an "Iron man" in real life like Tony Stark who altered the name in movie series. But people who know Elon personally says that he has Howard Hughes's ambitions.
We instantly believe in Elon Musk's Hyperloop realization in near future. If they could do it, it would be asset responsive business.

In today's marketplace, incorporating the multitude of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) can make producing an accurate energy demand forecast very challenging. Amid this increasingly complex business, regulatory and technological environment, Itron pioneered the integration of DER resource forecasts into the real-time load forecasts that system operators require to manage the grid daily.
Recently, this concept of an Integrated Energy Forecasting Framework (IEFF) was extended to long-term load forecasting. Read more about Itron's new approach to long-term energy forecasting in our white paper on the Integrated Energy Forecasting Framework.
This article focuses on hardware based solutions for the forecasting problem, a trend that I see across the industry. The assumption that a short-term forecast requires hardware such as a cloud cam" (solar) or a lidar unit (wind) has not been proven. Presently, the relatively mature Australian forecasting provider sector of the industry offers short-term forecasting solutions for solar and wind, which do not require expensive hardware ($100k+ cloud cams, $200k+ lidar units + the costs of ongoing forecasting services).


For a project I need to run geth 1.6 in a docker container on my Raspberry Pi that has raspbian jessie installed. I was looking online for such a docker image, but after some searching I gave up and just created my own docker image.
I am using this image as a basis for other docker images that set a geth node up for a private ethereum blockchain. There are a dozen of Ethereum docker images already, but none (that I could find) played nice with the ARM architecture of the rpi.
You can find the prebuild image on dockerhub/askmike/ethereum-raspbian.
Note that if you are going to use this for anything serious (or if money is involved) always compile from source! The Dockerfile can be found on github/askmike/ethereum-raspbian-docker. It builds on top of an image that installs golang (so geth can be compiled), you can get that from dockerhub/askmike/golang-raspbian (dockerfile on github/askmike/golang-raspbian).
