President Kennedy's First Marriage!!
John F. Kennedy married Jackie Bouvier in 1952. Previous to that time he was married to Durie Malcolm–a twice divorced Palm Beach socialite. According to Latin Church canon law, that marriage was invalid because it was not performed by a priest in front of two or three witnesses.
Here is the dogmatic Council of Trent statement on marriage:
Those who shall attempt to contract marriage otherwise than in the presence of the parish priest, or of some other priest by permission of the said parish priest, or of the Ordinary, and in the presence of two or three witnesses; the holy Synod renders such wholly incapable of thus contracting and declares such contracts invalid and null, as by the present decree. It invalidates and annuls them. (Council of Trent, Twenty-fourth Session, Chapter I).
According to Latin Church canon law, the only President of the United States who was legally married was Jack Kennedy.
Additionally, the Council of Trent defines marriage as one MAN and one WOMAN:
The first parent of the human race, under the influence of the divine Spirit, pronounced the bond of matrimony perpetual and indissoluble, when he said; This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh. But, that by this bond two only are united and joined together, our Lord taught more plainly, when rehearsing those last words as having been uttered by God, He said, therefore now they are not two, but one flesh; and straightway confirmed the firmness of that tie, proclaimed so long before by Adam, by these words; What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. (Council of Trent, Twenty-fourth Session).
Clark Clifford was a very prominent lawyer and special counsel to President Kennedy. In 1961, he was summoned to the White House because of the discovery that the President had a previous wife.

In 1961, Clark Clifford was called to the White House for damage control due to the discovery of a prior marriage for President Kennedy.
In 1991, he published his memoirs entitled Council to the President.
He called the incident the Blauvelt Affair.

The Blauvelts were a Dutch family who came to the New World in 1638. A descendant, Louis L. Blauvelt, made a family genealogy which had an account of a family member, Durie Malcolm, marrying Jack Kennedy in 1947.

Jack Kennedy married Durie Malcolm–a twice divorced Palm Beach socialite in 1947.
Joe Kennedy was FURIOUS. He planned on running his son for the Presidency and a divorcée was not Presidential timber.
He had the marriage annulled, but a formal civil divorce was never obtained.

It's a small world after all and President Kennedy must have been shocked when he found out that Clark Clifford actually knew his former wife!!
The Blauvelt Affair by Clark Clifford
In January 1962, Evelyn Lincoln called once again with those words that always somehow seemed to imply an emergency, without actually saying so: "The President would like to see you right away." Ten minutes later, I was alone with President Kennedy, who began the conversation by saying, "You won't believe this one." Thus began my involvement in one of those silly and bizarre incidents that can happen to almost any public official–the wholly inaccurate story which takes on a life of its own. The "Blauvelt Affair" is a remarkable example of how time-consuming it sometimes can be to deal with a complete fabrication.
President Kennedy told me that a story had been circulating that he had been secretly married when he was younger to a woman named Durie Malcolm. The rumors were based upon a privately printed book, a genealogy of all the descendants of a seventeenth-century Dutch Hudson Valley settler named Blauvelt; it had been compiled over twenty years by a retired General Electric toolmaker in New Jersey named Louis L. Blauvelt, who finished his work in 1957, and died two years later at the age of seventy-nine. Fewer than one thousand copies of the book had been printed, but one was on file at the Library of Congress. In the late summer of 1961, an unknown person had photocopied and mailed to several reporters page 884 of this obscure book, which contained the following passage:
(12,427) DURIE, (KERR), MALCOLM.... She was born Kerr, but took the name of her stepfather. She first married Firmin Desloge IV. They were divorced. Durie then married F. John Bersbach. They were divorced, and she married third, John F. Kennedy, son of Joseph P. Kennedy, one time Ambassador to England.
At first, in the summer of 1961, President Kennedy and his staff had tried to deal with the matter by ignoring it; but when the rumor continued to circulate and then surfaced in a few minor periodicals, the President called me. When I asked him what the facts were, he replied, "All I know is that some years ago, I knew very briefly a young woman named Durie Malcolm. I think I had two dates with her. One may have been a dinner date in which we went dancing. The other, to my recollection, was a football game. Those were the only two times I ever saw her. My brother Joe also dated her a few years earlier. I remember that she was quite attractive."
My response startled him, as I knew it would: "I'll go further than that, Mr. President. I think she was one of the most attractive women I ever met"
"What are you talking about?" he asked, genuinely puzzled.
"Well, "I replied, "I have known Durie Malcolm for a long time. Some years ago, one of the heirs of a wealthy family in St. Louis, a young man named Firmin Desloge, met this charming girl–my recollection is that she was from Chicago–and brought her back to St. Louis as his wife. Her name was Durie Malcolm. They were a good deal younger than my wife and me, but we saw them quite often socially. She had a great deal of spin and vitality. Firmin Desloge was a nice fellow, but not right for Durie and she left him after a while. Later, she married a man I knew slightly named Tommy Shevlin, a social fellow and a good amateur golfer, and they moved to Palm Beach."
He was amused at this striking coincidence, but he was less amused at the fact that the extract from Blauvelt's genealogy was beginning to circulate widely among right-wing and anti-Catholic circles throughout the nation–with several hundred thousand copies of the item being distributed by bigoted opponents. So far it had not appeared in print in any serious or responsible publication. But the President showed me a "blind" item from a recent issue of Roll Call, a publication for Capitol Hill employees, that asked, "Who is the former Senator, now in high public office, who is concealing his former marriage?" The President asked me to deal only with him, his brother, and Press Secretary Pierre Salinger.
I went to the Library of Congress that same day to see for myself the Blauvelt genealogy. It was a tiny item in a huge book that contained virtually nothing but names. There was no evidence that the author had noticed that the man mentioned in the item about Durie was already a United States Senator at the time of publication.
Next, I located Durie Malcolm Desloge Shevlin in Palm Beach and called her up. She was surprised to hear from me again. It had been a long time since we had last seen each other in St. Louis, but she said she had followed my career from time to time. I said I needed to talk to her about President Kennedy: "I want to read to you an item from a book about the genealogy of the Blauvelt family that states that you and President Kennedy were married."
I could hear her laugh. "Good God," she said, "imagine being married to President Kennedy. That's a laugh."
"Durie," I said, "as a lawyer, let me ask you some very formal questions. One, were you ever married to John F. Kennedy?"
Again, she laughed. "No."
"Did you know John F. Kennedy?"
"Yes, I knew him and his brother Joe. He was young and attractive. I believe that it was before he was in the Congress. My recollection is that we had two dates. We may have had dinner in New York and the other time we went to a football game."
"Durie, we are old friends. Let me ask you the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question. Was there anything serious between you and John F. Kennedy?"
"Absolutely not," she replied, quite emphatically. "We hardly even knew each other. There were those two casual dates. We did not seem to click and that was all there was to it. How in the world that stuff could have gotten into that genealogy, I do not know. I come from the Blauvelt family, but the genealogy is wrong."
I told her I would report all this back to the President, and we would look for ways to stop the story from spreading any further. She said she did not wish to deal with reporters and would refuse to take their calls, but that we were free to state that she had denied the story if we wanted to do so. I asked her if she would sign an affidavit stating that she had never been married to John F. Kennedy, and she readily agreed.
Throughout the rest of the year, the story continued to circulate without appearing in a major publication. In May 1962, The Thunderbolt, which described itself on its masthead as "the official white racial organ of the National States Rights party," ran the item from Blauvelt's book, and accused the national press of suppressing the story. A right-wing business executive in Massachusetts mailed copies of the story to a list of selected "patriots."
In growing numbers, letters began arriving at the White House, asking about the story. The White House replied with a form letter pointing out several gross errors of fact in the genealogy. But, hoping not to give the story any further dissemination, the President and Salinger resisted making any public statement.
Rumors, however, do not have to be true in order to survive. On September 2, 1962, Parade, the nationally distributed Sunday newspaper supplement, printed a letter from a reader in its widely read column, "Walter Scott's Personality Parade," written by Lloyd Shearer, asking if the rumor that the President had been married before was true. In telling his readers that the story was false, "Walter Scott" was, of course, disseminating it widely for the first time. And on the same day the British press reported the story.
These two press items convinced the President that he had to take rapid action. In order to "control" the story, he invited his closest friend in the press corps, Benjamin Bradlee, then the Newsweek bureau chief in Washington, to print the story in the form of a false rumor revealed, denied, and hopefully buried. At the President's request, I recounted to Ben my involvement in the story. Newsweek's story, in the September 24, 1962 issue, said that the magazine had been aware of the rumor since August 1961, and had found it completely false, but that it had created an "acute" problem for the President as it continued to be widely circulated "by extremist groups ... for political purpose."
The Newsweek story was picked up by the rest of the national press, and was the talk of Washington for a week or so. As the Kennedys had hoped, though, once the falsehood had been exposed to public light, it was reduced to a curious footnote to the Kennedy legend. I remain to this day convinced that the entire affair was nothing more than the result of an error made by an old man who was not careful in checking his facts. I doubt that it would ever have received much attention had it not been for the intense interest and continual rumors swirling around the personal life of President Kennedy and the entire Kennedy family. (Clifford, Counsel to the President, pp. 371-374).
Clifford should have advised Durie Malcolm to sue for millions . . . if she could prove that the story was a fabrication. However, she did speak a half-truth, because, under Latin Church canon law, she was not really married to JFK.

Matchmaking is the existing automated process in League of Legends that matches a player to and against other players in games. The system estimates how good a player is based on whom the player beats and to whom the player loses. It knows pre-made teams are an advantage, so it gives pre-made teams tougher opponents than if each player had queued alone or other premades of a similar total skill level Riot Games Inc. The basic concept is that the system over time understands how strong of a player you are, and attempts to place you in games with people of the same strength. As much as possible, the game tries to create matches that are a coin flip between players who are about the same skill. The Matchmaking System works along with a modified version of the Elo system. From there, the game is played. If a player wins, the player gain points. On the contrary, if the player loses, he loses points. If the win was "unexpected" i.

This ostensibly makes it difficult for skilled players to "climb" up the matchmaking ranking and out of Elo hell , due to the difficulty of consistently winning games under these conditions. Its existence in various games has been debated, and some game developers have called it an illusion caused by cognitive bias. The term was coined based on the Elo rating system designed by Arpad Elo , which was initially used for chess games but began to be used in video games as well.
Elo rankings have also been "abused" by players who create parties of their friends in order to "escape" Elo hell.

Especially in higher ranks, this problem can be problematic due to the disparity in both communication and coordination between teams. This issue has also been prevalent in another iconic first-person shooter: CS:GO. This makes for an uneven playing field where the majority of one team lacks communication and teamwork, while their opponent is made up of a squad of friends who are used to playing with each other.
As a result, the team made up of solo players will be at a huge disadvantage. This will also prevent players from getting an accurate read of their solo skills, since they can rely on others a lot more in a four or five-man stack. League of Legends players were experiencing similar issues in their own ranked system, which prompted Riot to implement separate queues based on whether people wanted to play alone, with a friend, or with a five-stack—and each queue had its own rank as well.
By having a separate queue for solo and duo players, it prevents any people from matching into uneven games. Players will still have to use voice comms since most of the team is made up of strangers, and each team will have the same hurdles to climb. Meanwhile, team ranked queues can make sure that each five-man squad will face off against another five-man squad, maintaining an even playing field.
Additionally, Riot should make players have separate ranks for each queue. This system can still apply to solo and duo queue, since individual skill will probably take more precedent than team play. In ranked team play, however, ranks and MMR might need to be focused more around team performance. If ranked team play is based a bit more off team performance, then players in the same group can still hover around the same MMR and rank since the whole team is losing and winning at the same time.

Cairns Customs House is a heritage-listed former customs house and now restaurant at 6A-8A Abbott Street, Cairns City, Cairns, Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Robert Henry Bowen and built from 1936 to 1937 by Watkins & Deal. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.

History
The former Cairns Customs House was erected in 1936-37 by the Australian Government through the Public Works branch of the Department of the Interior, largely as an employment-generating initiative during the Great Depression. It was the third customs house on the site.

The customs reserve at Cairns was the first land surveyed after proclamation of the port of Cairns on 1 November 1876. The reserve of just over  included the whole of the land bounded by Abbott, Spence and Wharf Streets and the Esplanade.

By July 1877 the first customs buildings were completed at what was then known as Trinity Bay, but the site was not proclaimed a customs reserve (temporary) until 1886. The buildings faced the Esplanade, and included a customs house, bond store and the sub-collector of customs' residence.

In 1889 a new, single-storeyed timber building with a frontage to Abbott Street replaced the first customs house, which was converted to a bond store. In the same year the site was proclaimed a permanent reserve for customs purposes.

As part of the Federation of Australia, the customs reserve became the property of the Australian Government, and was occupied by the Department of Trade & Customs. In 1905 it was subdivided into three allotments, two being revested with the state government. Allotment 2, with frontages to the Esplanade and Abbott Street, became customs reserve R.293. This site contained the 1889 customs house and a bond store (1876 customs house). The latter was extended in the early part of the twentieth century.

The present Customs House was constructed on the site during the large-scale interwar redevelopment of Cairns, in which the city centre was virtually rebuilt. This building boom was in part a consequence of severe cyclone damage suffered by the city in 1920 and 1927. Also it was a reflection of a developing economy sustained by the introduction of a post-1918 Soldier Settlement Scheme to the Atherton Tableland, and the opening of the North Coast rail link between Cairns and Brisbane in 1924. Cairns became the northern terminus of the coastal railway, and functioned as a service town for sugar, mining, maize, dairying, timber and fruit growing.

By the late 1930s, Cairns had become the third largest port in Queensland.

Plans for a two-storeyed masonry customs building were prepared by architect Robert Henry Bowen of Commonwealth Public Works, Queensland, in 1936. The ground floor contained offices, and the upper floor provided residential accommodation for the sub-collector of customs. It was constructed in 1936-37 by local building contractors Watkins & Deal, at a cost of .

The building was erected on the same Abbott Street site as the preceding customs house, which was relocated to the backyard to provide temporary office accommodation while the new building was being constructed. The 1889 building was removed/demolished at a later date.

Plans for a new bond store on the site were prepared in mid-1939. The first customs house/bond store appears to have been removed to accommodate the new building, which was erected by 1941.

In 1970 the first floor residence in the customs house was vacated to accommodate increased office staff, and in 1989 the customs department removed to a new building in Aplin Street.

Between 1986 and 1991 the bond store was occupied by the Queensland Government's National Parks and Wildlife Service. The site was purchased by Suncorp in 1987.

In 1992, the Queensland Government called for submissions to build and operate a casino in Cairns on the site. The Cairns Customs House became part of the development of The Reef Hotel Casino where it now operates as a Cafe China Noodle Bar, a Chinese restaurant.

Description
The former customs reserve occupies a 2,656 square metre site at the southern end of the city centre, with frontages to Abbott Street (the principal commercial axis) and the Esplanade. The main building of The Reef Hotel Casino is built around it.

Former Customs House (1936-37)
An inter-war two-storeyed rendered cavity brick building, with hipped terracotta tiled roof. The building is square in plan with a projecting entrance portico and balcony. The entrance facade to Abbott Street is decorated with moulded details that are classically derived including double height pilasters, which rise to a stepped parapet. On the upper level of the Abbott Street elevation all the openings have timber shutters. All the windows and French doors in the building are multi-paned.

Internally the ground floor contains the Long Room and four offices, with the upper floor being residential accommodation of seven principal rooms. All the rooms on both levels open out onto verandahs and balconies. The building contains most of its original finishes and fittings. The Long Room has a decorative moulded plaster cornice and pilasters. All the joinery throughout the building is silky oak.

Former Bond Store ()
Designed to complement the former Customs House, the former Bond Store is a single-storeyed rendered cavity brick building, with a suspended concrete slab floor and a terracotta tiled roof. The interior has been renovated.

The grounds contain a number of mature shade trees and the site also includes garages and sheds.

Central Park Hoodie is Done!
Yesterday I finished weaving in the ends on the sweater, sewing on the buttons, and crocheting the button loops. The original pattern didn't have any type of closure on the sweater, but I knew that I would want something to stay cozy and warm. I added the optional button loops and bought some of those genuine leather shank buttons. The fit turned out great and I really liked knitting this project up. It was quick and fun. I made the second to smallest size, which was a 36" bust. I did find a couple of errors in the pattern. They are below.

3 Latter-day Saint women receive prestigious Gates Cambridge scholarship
By	Church News · August 2, 2020
The following is excerpted from the Church News. To read the full article, CLICK HERE.
Madeleine Ary Hahne is seeking a doctorate degree as a step to help with climate change and bridge political divides. Lyndie Mitchell Zollinger envisions doubling as a professor and researcher in biomechanics and engineering.
They are now one step closer to those dreams, with Hahne and Zollinger joining Morgan Healy as the three Latter-day Saint women in the United States to receive the prestigious Gates Cambridge Scholarship this year.
Hahne was at home with her husband when the notification email entered her inbox: "I burst out, 'Oh my gosh, I think I actually got the scholarship!'"
"It was extremely exciting for us," she continued, adding it was a moonshot she never thought she'd get. After a few prayerful days, she said accepting the scholarship felt like "the right choice."
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship program — established in October 2000 with a $210 million donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — offers 80 full-cost scholarships to applicants from countries outside the United Kingdom to pursue a full-time postgraduate degree in any available subject at the University of Cambridge.
"It covers the cost of my flight there, as well as tuition, housing, child care, any expenses related to my academic travels or conferences that I may attend and incidentals," said Hahne, who is pregnant with her first child.

Sawdust Corner - Wooden gear clocks - Scroll sawing and woodturning.
Welcome to my wood shop. I have been working with wood in one form or another since the mid '70's. Here, I would like to share my current woodworking interests with everyone.
Still under construction! Feel free to look around and don't forget to check back to see what's new.
Wood Gear Clocks are a recent passion of mine. When I first saw these works of art I found it truly amazing that anyone would even attempt this. At the time I was un-aware that wood gear clock making was a centuries old craft that is once again gaining popularity. These clocks were all I could think about for weeks after I saw them for the first time ... I had to build one for my self! Come to my clock page to share the fun.
I never thought much about scrolling until I wanted to build a wooden clock. I have a 25 year old saw that was not much fun to use. So I upgraded to a DeWALT 788 and found out how much fun scrolling really is. Check out my scrolling page.
Turning bowls and hollow forms is what I enjoy most. There is nothing like the feeling of the cool wet shavings from a freshly cut log brushing past your arms! Take a look at my turning page to join in the fun.


The Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara and Guelb er Richat, is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara near Ouadane, west–central Mauritania. The Richat Structure is a deeply eroded, slightly elliptical dome with a diameter of 40 kilometres. The sedimentary rock exposed in this dome ranges in age from Late Proterozoic within the center of the dome to Ordovician sandstone around its edges. The sedimentary rocks comprising this structure dip outward at 10–20°. Differential erosion of resistant layers of quartzite has created high-relief circular cuestas. Its center consists of a siliceous breccia covering an area that is at least 30 kilometres in diameter.

Close to 300 new COVID-19 cases reported in region over long weekend
Local cases up dramatically while virus mutations now account for 63% of cases in region
WELLINGTON COUNTY - The active COVID-19 case count continues a downward trend across the region after reaching a record-high of 679 on April 19. Advertiser file photo
WELLINGTON COUNTY – The number of COVID-19 cases in the region is rising sharply, with 297 new cases reported over the Easter long weekend (April 1 to 5).
The Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH) weekend total works out to a daily average of over 59.
That is in stark contrast to the week leading up to the long weekend, when the region averaged just under 21 new cases per day.
The previous two weekends the region reported a total of 61 and 54 cases over three days.
"We have seen a surge in local cases … As a region, we are all feeling the impact of this long pandemic, but it is vital we don't let our guard down," WDGPH spokesperson Danny Williamson stated on April 6.
"If we don't act together to reduce COVID-19 in our region, we run the real risk of quickly finding ourselves in a dangerous situation. Now is the time for each of us to do what we can to protect ourselves and each other."
The weekend case count of 297 drawfs the previous weekend high of 192 reported on Jan. 11. However, that was a regular three-day reporting cycle, with an average of 64 new cases per day.
The active case count in the region (363) is two and a half times the figure from a week ago (140 on March 30) and the highest it's been in some time. For comparison the highest total recorded in the region was 489 on Jan. 11.
WDGPH's latest case rate per 100,000 population has ballooned to 91.0 and its test positivity rate to 3.8%.
A week ago those figures were 38.5 and 1.9%.
All schools in WDGPH region to close to in-person learning on April 7
Variants, mutations
One of the reasons cited for the four-week province-wide "emergency break shutdown" announced on April 1 is the rise in mutations of the COVID-19 virus, notably several variants of concern (VOC).
The latest Public Health Ontario data for the WDGPH region (seven-day moving rate for the week of March 25 to 31) shows that 63.9% of all positive COVID-19 tests were found to be a mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
While that is in line with the provincial average of 63.3% (the latest modelling data shows that figure is closer to 67%), the local rate of mutations has been increasing recently – it was 50% the week of March 19 to 25.
"Because they are more transmissible and may have significant negative health impacts, we must remain vigilant," Williamson said of COVID-19 variants.
The region's cumulative count for mutated or non-VOC cases is 356.
WDGPH has reported seven confirmed cases of the B.1.1.7 variant that originated in the UK, with no other VOCs identified in the region.
Officials say that remains a concern considering that with the B.1.1.7 variant, the risk of dying is 1.5 times higher than with a non-VOC illness.
The odds of ending up on a ventilator are three times higher with the UK variant and the risk of transmitting it quickly to another person is 2.5 times higher.
County trends
Wellington County had 37 new cases over the long weekend and now has 46 active cases, up from 30 a week ago.
The county's seven-day average for daily cases, which is often used to indicate trends, is now 5.57, up significantly from 3.29 last week (it was 2.0 three weeks ago).
Dufferin County had 58 new cases over the long weekend and now has 74 active cases, a large increase from 42 just one week ago.
Guelph had 194 new cases over the long weekend and now has 235 active cases, more than three times its total from one week ago (64).
Active case counts by municipality are included in the table below.

There are currently five facility outbreaks in the WDGPH region:
Homewood Health Centre in Guelph, Manor 2N (one staff case, one patient case, declared April 5);
St. Joseph's Health Centre in Guelph, 3 North (one staff case, declared April 3);
Village of Riverside Glen in Guelph, Puslinch section (one staff case, declared April 3);
Wellington Terrace Long-Term Care Hoe in Aboyne, five staff cases, declared on April 2; and
Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville, 'F' wing (two patients, two staff, declared on March 23).
School cases
There has also been an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in local schools, which WDGPH officials say led to the decision to close publicly-funded schools to in-person learning as of April 7.
The closure will last at least until April 19, following the April 12 to 16 break that was rescheduled from March.
As of April 6, there are 23 schools in the WDGPH region reporting COVID-19 cases.
Emmanuel Christian High School in Fergus is reporting three student cases and is considered in outbreak by WDGPH.
The Upper Grand School Board is reporting cases at 19 schools (an all-time high). Most are in Guelph but there five are in Wellington County:
Victoria Cross Public School in Mount Forest, one case, one classroom closed;
Alma Public School, one staff case, all classrooms open;
Harris Mill Public School in Rockwood, one student case, one classroom closed;
Rockwood Centennial Public School, one case, one classroom closed; and
Aberfoyle Public School, one case, one classroom closed.
The Wellington Catholic District School Board is reporting cases at three schools:
St. Mary Catholic Elementary School in Elora, one case, one classroom closed;
St. Francis Catholic Elementary School in Guelph, two cases, two classrooms closed; and
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School in Guelph, three student cases, three cohorts closed
*Specific details about student/staff cases were not available for all schools.


New mobility services will arise from innovations in technology and business models. KTN is helping businesses investigate the opportunities. The outcome of Scotland's first ever Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) pilot project was declared as a success this month, for making travel easier, as well as changing the perceptions and usage of public, shared and active forms of travel.
The NaviGoGo web app service was tested by ninety-eight 16- to 25-year-olds in Dundee and north east Fife, and used to plan over 2,000 journeys, and book and pay for 480 journeys.
More than half of surveyed users agreed or strongly agreed their travel was made easier by the app.
MaaS describes a shift from personally-owned modes of transportation to mobility solutions consumed as a service.
The concept envisions easy-to-use combinations of transport options regardless of provider, capable of handling travel planning and payments, across travel modes, and for providing helpful journey information.
Successful solutions could ease travel hassles but combining services on platforms or aggregators in this way might be disruptive for operators, so strong evidence for the benefits would first need to be demonstrated.
The Innovate UK supported NaviGoGo project may, then, provide some very useful insight into the policy and business case surrounding Mobility as a Service, particularly for younger users.
KTN has taken the initiative in promoting the concept, including supporting MaaS Scotland, a joint venture managed by Technology Scotland and ScotlandISwith support from Scottish Enterprise.
KTN has been active in building cross-sector innovation nationally, and MaaS Scotland has grown to a membership of over 60 companies and organisations from across the MaaS supply chain.
The NaviGoGo project was supported with grant funding of just over £300,000 from Innovate UK's 2016 'Enhancing the End to End Journey Competition'.
Overall, this £10 million fund supported seven collaborative R&D projects designed to improve the efficiency and experience of end-to-end journeys.
Initially named 'Pick & Mix: A mobility service for 16-25-year-olds that outshine the car', a consortium including ESP Group, SYSTRA, Young Scot, Mudlark, Route Monkey Ltd and the Scottish National Entitlement Card Programme Office went on to create the NaviGoGo MaaS platform.
ESP Group led the project, applying a 'co-design' process to make the service meet younger users' priorities of safety, simpler timetables and clear fare structures.
While for the Dundee and North East Fife regions the aim was to make public and shared modes of transport more attractive to young people and postpone or alleviate their desire for car ownership.
The two-year project culminated in a trial from October 2017 to March 2018, starting with 13 beta testers and growing to 98 users.
Each participant received £20 a month into their NaviGoGo account, with the option to top-up with their own money.
Taxi, train and bike hire services were fully integrated with the payment platform allowing users to plan, book and pay for these services with their stored NaviGoGo account balance.
Ten bikes were also provided as a bike share service by NextBike.
Bus routes and tailored pricing information (based on a user's profile) were displayed to the user, although payment wasn't integrated for bus travel in time for the end of the pilot.
Users could use their existing Young Scot national entitlement card to load weekly smart tickets from Xplore Dundee (Dundee's local bus company) instead of onto Xplore's proprietary card – but they had to pay for these on the bus.
Steve Cassidy, Project Director, ESP Group, claimed the project as a success.
Marking the end of the pilot on 15 May, The Scottish Government Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf praised the initiative and highlighted the need for seamless, integrated transport.

Why the racy 'Baywatch' went with one-piece bathing suits
A scene from "Baywatch" - photo by Brittany Binowski
An otherwise racy R-rated comedy opted for a conservative piece of women's fashionwear.
"Baywatch," a movie about a lifeguard on a quest to solve a local crime, features one-piece bathing suits for many of the women in the film, which debuted in theaters May 25.
However, "Baywatch" costume designer Dayna Pink, who chose the iconic red one-piece for some characters, said this spike in popularity of the bathing suit didn't start with her.
Pink told USA Today that even though she encouraged the "Baywatch" cast to wear one-piece suits, it was mostly because recent fashion trends seem to be moving in that direction.
"The one-piece has really been a big trend, said Pink, according to USA Today. I peeked again at the original show, did research on bathing suit trends and what was happening, and said 'OK, so where is it going?'"
Pink said the original "Baywatch" bathing suit was just too iconic to turn down. To adapt the red one-piece to modern times, she decided to go with a deeper, ruby-red for the swimsuit with some sparkle, gold accents and a heavier fabric.
"The original (suit) is really tiny. There's not much fabric to it," said Pink, according to E! News. "The new suits are neoprene-inspired. There's more fabric to it, more coverage. Sometimes, less isn't more."
And according to EDITED, a retail data company, Pink is right. The number of one-piece swimsuits offered online has risen by 20 percent, while bikini sales have dropped, the New York Post reported.
"The one-piece has made an explosive comeback this year. Its not surprising due to current trends and our quest for comfort and retailers are capitalizing on this growth with a bevy of flattering and daring styles for 2017," EDITED head analyst Emily Bezzand said, as reported by the New York Post.
Many celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Beyonce and even Kendall Jenner, have also been spotted in recent years sporting one-pieces.
"It's official: One-pieces have surpassed bikinis in terms of popularity," InStyle wrote in 2015. "It's a swimsuit trend that we've been tracking for awhile, and now, we have the stats to back it up."
Don't, however, expect much modesty from the film. Common Sense Media reports that "Baywatch" has "more violence than you might expect, with deaths played for laughs" as well as some very crude, sexual scenes, inappropriate language and some "revealing costumes (particularly bathing suits)."

Rookie Cops Synopsis
'Rookie Cops' follows the storyline of such youths who enter into one of the most prestigious and conservative universities of South Korea. Wi Seung-Hyeon is someone who always wanted to make this father proud, and that's why he decided to enter this university. However, things do get a bit out of proportion for him when he meets his future love interest Eun-gang.
A Still From The Series
Kim Tak comes from the Judo team, and though he is kind of always alone, he does find himself a friend in the form of Wi Seung-Hyeon. Han-na is someone who loves to do her work in her way. She is the queen of her own choices, however, her extremely individualistic lifestyle does disrupt the students at the University who are accustomed to group life. The other characters also have a lot of input into the plot.
The series is about in the age where dilemma and assurance got side by side, how will they cope up with unwanted situations. The everyday fight to make oneself stand out in a crowd despite having multiple issues surely will be a fun and admirable watch.

From The Trailer Of Rookie Cops
The trailer of the series portrays the life of the rookie cops at the University. Though they go through rigorous training, the factor of fun is included extremely well. Since all the characters are so diverse, when they come together, it's complete chaos. However, it also shows how much fun they have when they are around each other. It kind of resembles the hostel life, which is full of laughter, making memories, learning, and so much more.
Although they are at the university for police training, through each other's company, they learn something even more important, life. Factors like love, dating, hardships come into account, and by the looks of the trailer, it's going to be an amazing ride with epic emotions.

Rookie Cops: Cast
Following is the cast of the anticipated kdrama-
The South Korean singer-songwriter essays the role of Wi Seung-Hyeon. A headstrong youth who always dreamt of making his father proud by following his path. He even aced the college entrance exam by being first on his second attempt. According to the MBTI released in the posters, he is an ISTJ. This completely matches be person Wi Seung- Hyeon is. He is extremely loyal and forbids to shake hands with injustice. Him, following the footsteps of his father and coming to a police university agrees to this fact as members from this personality type tend to work in organized sectors where order and discipline prevail.
Kang Daniel was last seen as a television host in Street Women Fighter. Now with Rookie Cops, he will make his acting debut. People are excited to see his performance, and surely it will be great to watch him on screen.
The Strongest Deliveryman actress portrays the role of Eun-gang, who has a different motive for entering the police university. Extremely courageous, she wanted to go after her one-sided love. Eun-gang falls under the personality type of ESFP. Given the fact she came to a police university just to follow the person she loves, it is something. People belonging to this personality type are spontaneous and speak their hearts out. They try not to have a dry moment and keep everyone entertained by being the center of entertainment. Both ESFP and ISTJ are opposites of each other. It certainly will be an interesting watch as to how Eun-gang and Wi Seung-hyeon acts in their relationship.
Lee Shin-Young
Lee Shin-Young plays the role of Kim Tak, a young soul, however, doesn't have many friends. Although, things do change at the university when he meets Wi Seung-Hyeon. A passionate individual, he is a freshman from the junior nation judo team. Kim Tak has the ISFP personality type, someone who likes to keep themselves within a small group than hanging around with lots of people. Kim Tak had a very small friends circle, which included Wi Seung-Hyeon.
Park Yoo-Na
Those who were missing Kang So-jin, here she is. Park Yoo-Na is back with her portrayal of Han-na. An independent personality, she is used to being in the first position. However, this attitude of hers brings a difference between students in the university who are used to being in groups. Han-na is independent and has the personality type of ISTP. People from this group loves to work in their own space, this reflects her personality extremely well as people around her at the university had a difficult time adjusting around her as they believed in group culture. However, sometimes they do sound insensitive as they believe in a practical approach rather than something emotional.
Park Sung-Joon
He played the role of Yoo Dae-il, who went into the university after getting inspired by a kdrama named Signal. His personality type is ENFP. Outgoing, being open-hearted are some of the qualities the people from this personality type possess.
Min Do-hee
She played the role of Woo Joo-young, who had his eyes on becoming a forensic investigator. Her MBTI personality type is INFJ. People from this personality type tend to make rational and realistic goals. Woo Joo- young wanting to become a forensic investigator, does prove this fact. They also have passion and conviction, and maybe we will get to see more of her personality traits once the drama airs.
Kim Woo-Seok
Seo Beom-Joo, although is upright, however, overthinks a lot, and he always goes by the books. His personality type is ESTJ. These people follow traditions to bring family and relations together. They cherish the feeling that comes from staying together.
Cheon Young-min
She played the role of Shin Ah-ri, who is kind of the face of the university, though for her it was not the first impression is the best impression thing at the university, however slowly she became close to her classmates. Her MBTI is INFP. People of this type love to daydream and live in their world, and they are passionate individuals.
Apart from them, there is Jung Soo-bin as Baek Seon-yoo, who participates in a lot of activities at the university. These are some of the few names among many others in the drama.

Q: Lidar data and map misaligned after rotation I am working with the telepresence robot of the Ohmnilabs (here a picture of the robot). I set up the navigation stack and tuned the parameters and everything worked fine for the map creation phase.
When I try autonomous navigation, after a few goals, the lidar data showed on rviz is misaligned with respect to the map.
I thought the problem was in the odometry and my thoughts were confirmed when I followed the step 1.2 in this guide. In particular, the robot failed the rotation test.
Can you please tell me what can I do to avoid or reduce the misalignment? Are there tutorials to solve this problem?

The other love of my life. Elsewhere is always right here
CARLOS GARDEL: The voice of Argentina
Graham Reid | Nov 7, 2010 | 1 min read
Carlos Gardel: Mano a mano
Just as there is no English-language equivalent of Jacques Brel (suggestions anyone?) or Edith Piaf, so there is no equivalent to Carlos Gardel (1890-1935) who became the voice of Argentinean folk-tango.
At a guess we might say Gardel was akin to an implosion Irving Berlin/Lennon-McCartney/Hank Williams with a touch of (unhelpfully) Brel and Piaf.
Although the facts of his birth are often disputed, it may be that Gardel, like Brel, was born outside of the country where he had his most profound influence: Brel in Belgium and making his reputation in France, Gardel possibly in France or Uruguay.
What is beyond doubt is his fame and songs which have endured long after his death in a plane crash in Colombia. Today Gardel's likeness is as iconic in Argentina as that of Eva Peron and Diego Maradona, his music is still played everywhere (and not just for tourists) and he is even referenced by the current generation of hip and cutting edge tango singers.
Gardel was an actor, singer and songwriter (most often in collaboration with lyricist Alfredo la Pera), and he made hundreds of recordings, among them many classic songs. He adopted the tango form which had until then been almost exclusively an instrumental form popular among the working class and the poor, and brought his expressive baritone to it in lyrics which spoke to that audience.
His style -- from the poorer quarters of Buenos Aires where he started by singing in the local marketplace -- spread throughout South America and France, and he made films which were often sentimental but (as with Mario Lanza) were showcases for his remarkable voice which was powerful and emotional.
Although hugely popular in his lifetime, the cult of Gardel has grown since his sudden death at which there was an outpouring emotion akin to that which accompanied Valentino's.
There are statues and museums to him; dozens of CD reissues; his familar and stylish, Sinatra-like cool, image (in hat and often with cigarette in hand) appears on everything from matchboxes and posters to street murals; and currently there are two films in production about his life.
Although he sang almost exclusively in Spanish, the emotion in his economic songs transcends language barriers.
And his voice comes to us from another era, one lost but -- thanks to Gardel and his legion of followers -- not gone forever.
There is a saying that he sings better every day.

Operation Nest Defense
Hawaiian Sergeants Earn Their Stripes in Combat
War is about to break out on the reef. Squadrons of fish circle overhead like fighter planes poised to strike. One by one, the attackers commence their dive on a vulnerable nest of eggs. Reacting with lightning speed, a Hawaiian sergeant fish intercepts the predators and engages in a "dogfight" to defend its nest, repelling barrages of attacks until forcing a retreat. While some causalities are sustained, the nest remains intact.
The Hawaiian sergeant fish (Abudefduf abdominalis) is a staunch defender with a gritty personality – it's no surprise that its name is derived from a military officer's rank. But there's more in similarity between the two than just the name. The Hawaiian sergeant commands respect, is combat ready, and fights relentlessly against all odds when defending its nest. Although the Hawaiian sergeant does not wear olive drab fatigues, its greenish-blue body and vertical black bars over faint gold accents resembles the striped insignia worn on a sergeant's uniform.
Of the many species that make up the damselfish family, the Hawaiian sergeant is one of 17 species found in Hawaii. Considered to be one of Hawaii's most abundant reef fish, the Hawaiian sergeant is endemic to the islands and found nowhere else in the world. Its Hawaiian name is mamo with variations including mamao and maomao.
The Hawaiian sergeant "earns its stripes" through nest defense. Like a soldier on guard duty, a male Hawaiian sergeant spends the majority of daylight hours patrolling and defending its nest until the eggs hatch, a time that can range up to 10 days. For unknown reasons, Hawaiian sergeants typically form nests on vertical surfaces, boulders, ledges, and flat open areas within the reef that are vulnerable to predation.
Milletseed butterflyfish (above) and racoon butterflyfish are notorious egg eaters on the reef.
The purplish-red, protein and fatty rich eggs are a high target for other reef fish including triggerfishes, wrasses, butterflyfishes, and even other sergeant fishes. But of all the potential predators, the milletseed butterflyfish can be seen as the Hawaiian sergeant's arch nemesis. Once a milletseed butterflyfish attacks the nest, it signals an open invitation for other reef fish to commence a feeding frenzy. Darting back and forth, flashing its body color from green to blue, the Hawaiian sergeant deploys a number of defensive tactics. The scene is chaotic with explosions of color engulfing the entire nest.
During large-scale feeding blitzes, the Hawaiian sergeant's defenses can be broken, but the nest generally survives as a result of the male's determination and valiant efforts to push back the attackers.
Although small in comparison, the courage, bravery, and protective nature of the Hawaiian sergeant reminds us of the heroic traits shared by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. November 11th is Veterans Day, a time to recognize and honor those who served in the U.S. military with expressions of words and acts of appreciation for their service. Maui Ocean Center salutes our veterans and extends a special mahalo to those who go above the call of duty to protect our home and country.

The National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) explains how bankruptcy can help you and when it may be the wrong solution for you.
Does Bankruptcy Help You Live Longer?
Can bankruptcy can play a role in stemming the tide of rising inequality? Economists think maybe it can.
This article in Mainstreet.com reiterates the message we can stress enough: If you are stressed out by crushing debt, then file for bankruptcy and get on with your life. Do not overlook the emotional, psychological and social tool of financial distress as well as the physical stress.
