Do you ride your bike enough to maintain good health ? I suspect that many people actually do not. A surprising amount of cycling is required if that's the main thing you do for exercise
Many sources suggest that half an hour a day of exercise is around the minimum to maintain good health.
My racing bike. A left-over from the 1980s, steel frame and
non-indexed gearing. Not the most comfy choice for me for
long rides, ideal for a quick spin around town & countryside
Because I work from home, I don't have a commute forced upon me, as was the case in the past. That means I don't automatically get a daily dose of cycling by going to work and back. Our deliveries are all made at least partially by bike, but while that means I'm riding a relatively heavily loaded cargo bike, the short round-trip distance of about 3 km doesn't take long enough. For that reason, I go out for a "commute" on at least some mornings even though I don't have to.
This morning I rode a little over 16 km, going through the town, stopping for traffic lights, heading out into the countryside against a stiff headwind and returning home again with a tailwind which of course can never add as much as the headwind already took away. It took me 31 minutes to cover the distance. I'm not about to set any records at that speed. That's not the point. This is moderate exercise, taking it fairly easy, expending enough effort to get slightly out of breath sometimes, enough to raise a bit of a sweat but certainly not enough to make my heart pound as if is going to pop out of my chest.
Recommended Minimum Daily Allowance - 15 km
At a moderate rate of exertion, 30 minutes of cycling at a rate conducive to maintaining health equates to covering about 15 km at an average speed of about 30 km/h. 15 km per day equates to about 100 km per week or about 5500 km a year. i.e. it takes about 5500 km of cycling each year to do enough exercise to maintain health.
Another day, with company, I rode another trusted old friend
on which I've ridden many thousands of kilometres over the
last 20 years.
If you ride a round-trip commute of around 21 km (13 miles) each day five days a week then that's just about perfect and will add up to about the annual target figure. If your commute is shorter, take a detour sometimes. People like me who don't have a regular commute to account for 5500 km (3300 miles) each year probably ought to get out on their bikes more often, which is what I do these days.
An inexpensive bike computer helps keep track of the total. It's December and we're heading into winter, but that's no reason to stop: Cycling in winter is particularly rewarding.
How this relates to other means of transport
If cycling is to benefit us as exercise as well as a form of transport it should be our first choice for at the first 5000 km that we travel each year. Until we've covered that distance we can consider the cost of the "fuel" used to cycle to be zero as the alternative would be to burn away the same amount of energy by wasting it at a gym or in some other sporting activity.
Motor vehicle enthusiasts occasionally make an absurd claim that the environmental cost of providing food to humans riding bicycles makes us so much less efficient than modern motor vehicles that we'd be better off driving a car than riding a bike. It's nonsense of course. Bicycles are the most efficient vehicles on the planet by some margin. This goes double for the first 5000 km because expending that energy through our bodies isn't optional. We don't need to eat extra to be able to ride those kilometres, we merely need to eat what is required to maintain a healthy weight while also taking a healthy amount of exercise.
Faster than light travel
Further to the above, cycling is the only means of travel which allows you to cover distances at infinite speed, taking no time at all to make your journey. No time at all needs to be allocated for most cycling journeys. How so ?
Let's begin by assuming that we will actually do that 30 minutes a day of exercise which is required to remain healthy. By exercising while you cycle you can fit in two 15 minute journeys each day (e.g. to work and back) without allocating any specific "cycling" time. It's just your minimum exercise. By comparison, driving a car might appear to get you to work in about half the time, taking 8 minutes each way, but afterward you'll also need to drive to a gym and back (5 minutes each way) and you'll also still still have to spend 30 minutes exercising, but in this case pointlessly staring into space on a machine in the gym instead of watching the world go by as you cycle. So overall, driving takes as much time out of your day as the actual travel time in the car, in this case 26 minutes (8+8+5+5), while cycling anything up to thirty minutes a day actually takes no time at all.
I sometimes write about health and cycling, but I am not a doctor. In particular, I am not your doctor and I certainly cannot offer health advice to you personally. If you need health advice or you're thinking about changing your exercise habits please see a professional.
Update: What about the Dutch average ? What about e-bikes ?
It's often quoted that the average Dutch person cycles less than 1000 km a year. If so, they're obviously not doing nearly enough exercise on their bikes to keep themselves healthy. I'm not sure I know anyone who really cycles just 1000 km a year, though. It's almost impossible to ride less than a thousand kilometres a year if you use a bike for everyday journeys. I find I often cover twice that distance on my town bike each year even though most of the distance that I cover is on other bicycles, and I don't even have a regular commute these days.
Research has shown that average e-bike riders don't get much exercise at all. If you are trying to maintain your health by riding an assisted bicycle then you will possibly not get much benefit unless you turn the assistance down and also ride much more than 5000 km a year. If you ride less than that distance then you could consider turning off the motor altogether. Otherwise you can expect less of a health benefit than would result from riding a 100% human powered bike.

中国大陆背景噪声强度时空分布
: Temporal and Spatial Distribution and Images of Ambient Noise Strength in Mainland China
Lian Qing Zhou, Xiaodong Song, Cui Ping Zhao
Successive waveforms of the vertical component recorded by 888 broadband seismic stations of China Seismography Network in January, 2010 to June, 2011 are used to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of ambient noise strength, and the images of ambient noise strength at the period of 10 s in mainland China are obtained. The temporal variation of ambient noise strength shows some seasonal and periodic characteristics. The maximum ambient noise strength occurred in January 2011 to March 2011. The spatial distribution images of ambient noise strength show obvious zoning features, which doesn't correlate with surface geology, suggesting that noise field is stronger than site factors. The strength in southeastern coastal areas achieves the maximum and generally decreases toward to inland areas, and arrives at the minimum in the Tibetan Plateau. The zonal intensity distribution is probably correlated with ocean tides from the Phillipin Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It also shows that the influence from the Indian Ocean seems little. However, the ambient noise strength increases in a certain degree in Xinjiang area, indicating that the main source of ambient noise in the western area of mainland China is not derived from the East and South China Sea, rather it's from the deep interior of the Eurasian continent. The ambient noise strength obtained in this study can supply some references for the seismology research based on ambient noise correlation. Moreover, it can supply the basic data for the attenuation research based on ambient noise, and then achieves the object of retrieving the attenuation of Rayleigh waves from ambient noise.

So Inch Chua (stylized iNCH) may have decided to straddle the States and Singapore after that Facebook note, but we still love ourselves some iNCH pride. After a successful crowdfunding effort to raise more than $15,000 for her new album Bumfuzzle, we finally have an — erm — artful video for the first single off the effort, Artful Dodger.
As iNCH sings about an other half she cannot quite read and regrets being together with (she credits the song to a moment of catharsis), we see her as basically the grown-up version of Dora The Explorer trying to sniff out any presence of wildlife outside her trailer in the jungle through some old-school CCTV. The maps are laid out and she pores through Polaroids (because, why the hell not?) and we see a photo of a man. Immediately, we go "Ha! A clue!" because we watch way too much Dora for our own good.
BOOM! BOOM! The trailer shakes, things are flying everywhere and red string is all astrewn. iNCH detects presences outside her trailer and goes to investigate, with her trusty La Sardina lomography camera. (Don't think we didn't notice that appropriately-inserted product placement.) She finds some Yeti bear or Bigfoot or whatever big furry creature you want to imagine and follows the thing to its hideout.
There, iNCH meets other bear-like things playing ping-pong and attending lessons — you know, the usual stuff. The bears find her and trap her, and then she turns into one of them while the man in the previous picture removes the head off his bear costume. She sings. The bears jam with her. It is all very weird but very much watchable. And very, very beautifully captured on screen.
If this is what iNCH has in store for us on her sophomore effort, we can't wait to see what else she has to come up with.
The Artful Dodger is available on iTunes, here.

The Insight Scoop
Analyzing Trump and Netanyahu's One Sovereign State Solution
Posted On : February 11, 2020 Published By : Gilli Cohen
On January 22nd, US President Donald Trump released his Middle East peace deal: the "Peace to Prosperity" plan. The plan, which proposes a novel distribution of land between Israel and Palestine, was referred to it as the "deal of the century" by Benjamin Netanyahu. However, the plan was constructed without consultation from any Palestinian officials, and additionally sees Israeli statehood on separate terms from what a Palestinian state may look like.
Peculiarly, the plan would develop two industrial regions in the Negev desert, which have been Israeli territory since the nation's independence, and designate them to the Palestinian Authority.
Additionally, the plan would allow for the Israeli annexation of settlement regions in the West Bank, accompanied by Israeli exclusive roads, and highways, displaying a continuous Israeli civilian and military presence in an independent Palestine.
The acclaimed "plan of the century" fundamentally fails to present a vision of Palestinian sovereignty analogous to that of Israel's capability of controlling its own territory.
Instead, the plan presents a quasi-independent Palestinian state, where the Israeli military has control over Palestinian borders, and all state roads. This plan evidently fails to present equal definitions of state sovereignty as Israel has security oversight in Palestine, while Palestine has no control over or access to Israeli roads and borders.
Despite this, President Trump's senior advisor, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner remains persistent in the realization of the plan, stating that he hopes the Palestinian authority will actually "sit down and read it". However, there is evidently no need to reference the entire 118-page document, as unequal terms are apparent in the fundamental tenets of the plan, and its representation on a map.
The President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, has coined the proposal a "conspiracy" that seeks to "buy the rights of the Palestinians." Abbas has additionally stated that he intends to break all diplomatic ties with the United States and Israel, setting a precedent regarding Palestinian compliance with Israeli institutional oversight. Abbas' response has sparked pan-Arab unity over the rejection of the plan, particularly through Lebanese protests and an Arab League meeting in Cairo.
The voices that have arisen in support of Abbas' decision to oppose the plan, do not necessarily reflect Abbas' historically pacifist political orientation, and instead display a more outright resistance to US-Israeli influence in the Middle East. Protesters have been heard yelling "death to America, death to Israel, we will die and Palestine will survive". In comparison, the Arab league's consensus was in line with Abbas's orientation toward the peace process.
The voices that have arisen in support of Abbas' decision to oppose the plan, do not necessarily reflect Abbas' historically pacifist political orientation. Instead, they display a more outright resistance to US-Israeli influence in the Middle East. Protesters have been heard yelling "death to America, death to Israel, we will die and Palestine will survive."
In comparison, the Arab League's consensus was in line with Abbas's orientation toward the peace process.
The committee of 22 Arab and African nations agreed that the peace plan would have to accept the pre-1967 borders. Therefore, pan-Arab responses to the plan display both peaceful and active political solutions to the 70 years of political deadlock seen since Israel's independence.
Trump has evidently focused on those voices which oppose Israeli sovereignty outright, rather than the Palestinian and Arab pacifist political leaders who were never brought to the negotiating table.
The unequally sovereign jurisdictions displayed in Trump's plan is described by the President as "a realistic two-state solution that resolves the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel's security." Trump's utilization of security rhetoric evidently falls short of explaining the necessity for a continuous military occupation and unequal notions of sovereignty. In terms of future diplomacy between the Trump-Netanyahu coalition and the Palestinian leadership, the consistent use of security narratives perpetuates fear and political deadlock, and leave Palestinian voices outside of the peace process.
Security fears evident within Trump's peace plan demonstrate how the plan further perpetuates what may be considered a conflict feedback loop. This feedback loop has been a pattern seen throughout the historical decision-making processes pertaining to the conflict.
This cycle of perpetuation may be recognized as follows: The Israeli government fears full Palestinian sovereignty for security purposes → Israel explicitly delegitimizes Palestinian statehood through the recognition of unequal sovereignty → Activists in resistance of the unequal terms of the protest resist, and in some cases call for the destruction of Israel → The Israeli government fears full Palestinian sovereignty for security purposes.
President Abbas has additionally complexified the conflict feedback loop by planning to cut ties with Israeli and American security altogether. Abbas' discontinuation of historical diplomatic relations demonstrates the concessions that Israel may have to make going forward if it wants any relationship with the Palestinian leadership.
The sanctions that Abbas is acting upon will surely increase Israeli security fears, perpetuate the conflict feedback loop and demonstrates the opposition that has arisen to a political solution built upon unequal notions of sovereignty. In the wake of its publication, Trump's deal of the century has become a force of division, rather than a solution to the current plight of the Palestinian people, and the security concerns of the Israeli government.

Eating the right food to fuel your brain is vital, yet most of us opt for the sugar-induced snacks that are lingering in front of us on the feeding table or a tasty chocolate bar from the corner shop. Although they will give you a quick boost, you'll soon drop back down an hour or two after and feel lethargic. Proper nutrition is crucial in terms of your overall health and efficiency in the workplace. "High fat and high sugar foods take more work to digest. Chocolate and sweets cause sugar to spike in your bloodstream then crash, and you also may have an upset stomach. Who can be productive with all of this going on?" says Lisa De Fazio, a healthy lifestyle expert and registered dietitian.
There's more to chickpeas than hummus you know! For a healthy snack that you can even share at work, roast some chickpeas in the over with a touch of oil and spices of your choice. Some favourite options are cayenne pepper, cinnamon and cumin.
One of my personal preferences for the office is oatmeal cakes. You can be so adventurous with organic rolled oats by adding cinnamon and apple, or peanut butter and seeds. For a sweet kick combine the oats with dark chocolate chip pieces.
Recipe: 40g plain porridge oats, 1 tsp sweetener, 1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt, ½ spoon baking powder and the ingredients of your choice.
The new health craze has taken the internet by storm. There are so many variations of energy balls, but a quick and easy recipe is by Joe Wick's; the famous Instagram entrepreneur created a healthy snack that you can take to work and wow your colleagues with. Bear in mind that this snack is designed to replace an unhealthy chocolate bar, and shouldn't be consumed on a daily basis, or in large amounts.
Dates, raisins, apricots, mango and goji berries are a few of the fruits that you can enjoy at work. These snacks are sweet, chewy, high in fibre and potassium and can be kept at work in your office draw for weeks, ready for an emergency snack.
Kale chips are a good alternative to fatty potato crisps and are a breeze to make. Unlike regular chips, these come with the added benefits of giving you over 40 percent of your daily value of vitamin A and C.
Recipe: 2 cups kale leaves coated with 1 tbsp olive oil and spices of your choice. A good option is salt and paprika.
Method: Bake in a fan oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.
Sometimes we simply crave something a bit more substantial than a handful of nuts, especially in the colder months. These healthy cheddar and leek muffins are perfect for those instances when you want to resist eating a buttery croissant or a Danish.
If you are really craving some kind of crisps, why not bake your own healthy version? Sweet potatoes are much more nutritious than regular potatoes. This does require some preparation as they take 2 hours to cook in the over.
Method: Bake in an oven at 250°C for 2 hours – ensure you toss the chips frequently.
For a healthier hummus option, add some cauliflower into the mix. With this delicious recipe, you'll forget that you're even eating a vegetable.
Yes, that's right! Chocolate actually has healthy benefits. Cocoa contains antioxidants called polyphenols which can help increase blood flow to your brain, improving your memory. Ensure the chocolate you opt for has over 75% cocoa in it.
Another option for the chocolate lovers is cocoa milk. Don't choose the packaged stuff you can find in supermarkets as they are filled with reserved sugars. Instead make your own cup of sweetness with warm milk, 1 tspn of cocoa powder and ¼ tspn of stevia. You can thank us later!
Can't decide between work snack options? Toss several of them (like dried fruits, seeds, nuts, and even dark chocolate chips) into a DIY trail mix and portion it out into 30g serving sizes and take small zipper bag with you each day.
Multi-grain crackers are rich in nutrients and fibre; they are a good swap for a digestive biscuit. The combination of complex carbs and protein help to keep your blood sugar stable and keep you feeling full longer.
If you're having a sweet attack and are looking for a healthy "bar" that isn't loaded with sugar, reach for one that is all natural. KIND bars are good sources of fibre, contain no added sugar, and are made from whole, natural ingredients like dates, almonds, cashews, and cranberries. These bars are rich in fibre, low in sodium, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and run around 200 calories per serving. You can keep these easy to store bars in your car, bag or desk drawer.
Hard-boiled eggs make for the perfect healthy snack. High in protein and only around eighty calories per egg, they will keep you full whilst feeding your body with essential vitamins and minerals. For a twist spread some hummus over your egg.
Many think of cheese as an unhealthy fat, but in moderation, it can actually be good for you as it's packed with protein. Lucky for us, supermarkets now sell bite-sized cheeses. Shove one in your bag or cool-box and snack on a block when you're feeling hungry.
To spruce up your veggies, add them in a jar with some hummus at the bottom. The jar is spill free and easy to carry.
The brain draws nearly all its energy from glucose; it's best to consume low glycemic index foods like bran flakes, which will release glucose at a slow rate in the bloodstream and minimize blood sugar swings which in turn will make you more focused.
Rice Cakes are ideal to keep at work for a rainy day; they are low in calories and come in so many flavours. If you fancy something sweet you can opt for a caramel Snack a Jack, or salt and vinegar for something savoury.
Pretzels are the ideal snack to share at work. They are low in fat and give you some carbs so you can hold out until lunchtime.
They are perfect for satisfying salty and spicy cravings and are packed with protein and fibres which will keep you energized and prevent your blood sugar from dropping. Be careful on the portion size, although small, they have high-calorie content.
Edamame bean are a perfect snack for vegetarians who are looking for a high protein snack. Add some lemon and chilli to boost your metabolism whilst munching away on this moreish snack.
No baking is required for this tasty protein bites. With only four ingredients you can create a quick-fix treat including nut butter, oats, dark chocolate chips and honey. What's better than getting fibre and antioxidants from these cookie-like treats?
Recipe: 1 1/2 tbsp nut butter, 3 tbsp oats, 1/2 tbsp honey, 1/2 tbsp dark chocolate chips, rolled into balls.
Any kind of soup packet is handy to keep in your draw as a safety net. In the winter it's a great option to keep you going until lunch or dinner. Make sure you check the calorie and saturated fat content to ensure its under 200 calories and 2g in saturated fat.
When it's not drenched in butter or salt and sugar, popcorn can actually be a really healthy snack. The airy treat is easy to make; add kernels to a bowl in the microwave and cover with cling film. Once your corn has popped add salt, spices or cheese to give some flavour.

WAKEFIELD, Mass. – March 17, 2016 – The NFC Forum today announced the publication of one candidate and two adopted specifications, following approval by the Board of Directors. Available from the NFC Forum website, the specifications enhance the performance and security of NFC services.
When an NFC phone taps a printer, the phone can know in advance what print methods that printer supports, and can prepare to print to it.
A user of an NFC phone has the choice of either displaying a photo from the phone on the bigger screen of a tablet or storing that photo file on the tablet. After making the selection, the user taps the tablet with the phone to transfer the photo via WLAN or Bluetooth and the selected action is performed with no additional action required.
This functionality is supported by the new Verb Record Type Definition (RTD) 1.0 Technical Specification and the Device Information RTD 1.0 Technical Specification, published last year. Connection Handover 1.4 also supports connections via an IP network, which adds the capability to do handover via the cloud.
Verb RTD 1.0 Technical Specification is a new specification. It is used to encode generic and carrier-specific supported services, which can then be used by implementations of the Connection Handover 1.4 candidate specification to offer an enhanced user experience. The Verb Record can, for example, encode the service to trigger the printing of a document or picture that will be transferred via the Bluetooth or WLAN connection.
NFC Logical Link Control Protocol (LLCP) 1.3 Technical Specification defines a protocol to support peer-to-peer communication between two NFC-enabled devices, which is essential for any NFC applications that involve bi-directional communications. Version 1.3 adds a secure data transport mechanism, using industry-standard advanced cryptography for encryption and message authentication, to ensure the confidentiality of messages exchanged between peer devices. This mechanism ensures that data exchanged between two devices are automatically protected against eavesdropping. For example, the exchange of business contact data or a private phone number cannot be spied on by a third person.
The NFC Forum (www.nfc-forum.org) was launched as a non-profit industry association in 2004 by leading mobile communications, semiconductor, and consumer electronics companies. The Forum's mission is to advance the use of Near Field Communication technology by developing specifications, ensuring interoperability among devices and services, and educating the market about NFC technology. The Forum's global member companies are currently developing specifications for a modular NFC device architecture, and protocols for interoperable data exchange and device-independent service delivery, device discovery, and device capability. The NFC Forum's Sponsor members, which hold seats on the Board of Directors, include leading players in key industries around the world. The Sponsor members are: Apple Inc., Broadcom Corporation, Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd., Google, Inc., Intel, MasterCard Worldwide, Nokia, NXP Semiconductors, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony Corporation, STMicroelectronics, and Visa Inc.

STAR WARS TRILOGY EPISODES I, II AND III
WAS £7.99 £3.99 Out Of Stock
Triple bill containing Episodes I-III of the hugely popular 'Star Wars' series. In 'Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace' (1999), Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jin (Liam Neeson) and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) have come on a diplomatic mission to the planet Naboo, intending to open discussions between the planet's leaders and the heads of the Trade Federation. But when they are ambushed by Federation robots, they quickly realise that the negotiations are merely a cover for a hostile invasion organised by the evil Sith master. Hooking up with Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best) and the Naboo Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman), the Jedis manage to escape from Naboo and journey to the trade planet of Tatooine, where Qui-Gon meets a young slave boy named Anakin (Jake Lloyd), whom he identifies as a potentially powerful Jedi. In 'Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones' (2002), Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) disobeys the strictures of his Jedi training, embarking on a forbidden affair with Padme Amidala (Portman) while his teacher Obi-Wan Kenobi's (McGregor) investigation of assassination attempts against the Senator leads him to the distant planet of Kamino and into the middle of a separatist plot which brings the Galactic Republic to the very brink of civil war. In 'Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith' (2005), as the Clone Wars rage on, the rift between Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) and the Jedi Council widens. Young Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker (Christensen), is caught in the middle, his allegiances torn. Seduced by promises of power and the temptations of the dark side, he pledges himself to the evil Darth Sidious and the Sith Order, becoming Darth Vader. Together, the Sith Lords set in motion a plot of revenge against the Jedi, in attempt to destroy them all. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor) tries to turn his old Padawan learner back to the light side, leading to a climactic lightsaber battle that will shape the fate of the galaxy forever.

Reading Second Nature: A geography of capitalism. A careful reading of this photograph reveals many elements, from crops, to horses, to Euro-American farmer that were non-native or 'second nature' to the American West. Many others as well, including the finished timber used in construction of shelter and fences, the barbed wire of the fence, the manufactured plow, the shade trees, and the manufactured clothing, including the fine victorian clothing of the figures in the carriage (and the carriage itself). All of these commodities, animals, and people were non-native migrants to the American West, brought in the age of Industrial expansion.
A mountain of buffalo skulls (unidentified location), suggesting the de-naturing of first nature in the American West, during the Industrial Revolution. Like other aspects of first nature, including native peoples, the near extinction of the buffalo translated into a mythic and romantic image of "the West" that Anglo-Americans then co-opted into their own emblems, whether the 'buffalo nickel' or the U. of Colorado 'Buffalos' sports mascot.

Sound Transit accused of deceiving voters in new state Senate report
In a summary of findings and recommendations for the Legislature released Oct. 23, 2017, the Senate Law and Justice Committee says Sound Transit didn't play fair with lawmakers and voters. It says Sound Transit misrepresented the bill it asked the Legislature to pass, failed to disclose material facts, and disregarded laws designed to ensure full disclosure and prevent taxpayer money from being used to promote political causes. (photo: KVI Staff)
Sound Transit misled voters and the Legislature leading up to last November's vote on a $54 billion tax hike to approve the third phase of light rail service, known as ST3, according to a new report issued by the State Senate Law and Justice Committee.
Committee Chair, Mike Padden (R-Spokane), tells KVI, "This is outrageous." Padden's committee within the Olympia Legislature held several hearings to obtain testimony regarding the Sound Transit 3 campaign--including from Sound Transit personnel.
The report says Legislation granting new taxing authority to Sound Transit was unconstitutionally drafted in a way that concealed its effect. It also concluded, Sound Transit coordinated lobbying efforts by third-party organizations, despite prohibitions on lobbying by public agencies, and Sound Transit improperly used public resources to promote the third-party campaign for the ballot measure.
Padden explained on KVI, "They (Sound Transit) sold this constantly (to the Legislature) in press release after press release as a $15 billion project over 15 years, not a $54 billion project after 25 years, which they extended after the bill (the $15 billion request) got passed. There were a number of legislators, both chairs, Republican chair in the Senate and Democratic chair in the House, (that) said 'hey this wouldn't have passed if Legislators knew we were talking about $54 billion, rather than $15 billion.'"
Padden tells KVI, "Here we have...deception, I don't know what other word to put it."
After the interview, KVI's John Carlson called the report, "a very damning case against Sound Transit for just a pattern--a perpetual pattern--of underhanded dealing with the legislature, with the public and its happening in all (facets)...from the, from the drafting of legislation, to the selling of legislation in Olympia to the selling of the initiative to the voters."
Sound Transit 3 passed by voters in November of 2016 with a 54% yes vote in the urban areas of the Sound Transit taxing district. This link shows which cities did and didn't pass the massive taxing measure.
KVI's Kirby Wilbur suggested the best remedy would be a voter initiative to repeal Sound Transit 3. If that happens, Wilbur said, "we'd have to have a lot of money behind it. Some people have to step up to the plate and put a fair amount of money behind it to get the signatures to either reform or repeal Sound Transit 3."

Preservation of sacred Discordian bowling alley advances
The Friendly Hills bowling alley. Creative Commons photo by Andy Chase.
The former Friendly Hills bowling alley in Whittier, Calif., an important landmark in the history of Discordianism, is being preserved and rehabilitated and will reopen later this year as a commercial building.
Although it will no longer be a bowling alley, the historic integrity of the building that's the alleged birthplace of Discordianism will be preserved, along with the bowling alley's distinctive sign.
Friendly Hills shut down in June 2015. As I reported last year, that's significant, because according to Discordian history Adam Gorightly, the Friendly Hills is the "Brunswick Shrine," the most likely place, according to Adam, where Kerry Thornley and Greg Hill created Discordianism.
However, a developer stepped in to save the building from the wrecker's ball. From my story last year, for which I interviewed Don Dooley, planning services manager for Whittier's planning department:
"The new developer, Dan Almquist, has been acquiring the building and is turning it into a three unit commercial building. The existing bowling sign outside will be adapted for reuse, said Dooley, who serves as the secretary for the Whittier Historic Resources Commission, the city body charged with preserving Whittier's historic buildings.
"Whittier's interest in the Friendly Hills building stems from the fact that it is considered an exemplar of Googie-style building design, a space-age style that originated in southern California, particularly as the style of design applied to bowling alleys, Dooley explained. The bowling alley was designed by Powers, Daly and DeRosa, at the time the big name in southern California bowling alley design."
I asked Mr. Dooley how work is coming along, and he sent me this email update on July 6:
"Building permits for the rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of the former Friendly Hills Bowl Building were issued by the City of Whittier on March 25, 2016.
"Grant Construction is the general contractor doing the rehabilitation work to the building. Once completed, the former Friendly Hills Bowl Building will be converted into three retail tenant spaces. At this time, two of the three tenant spaces will be occupied by Aldi (similar to Trader Joes) and BevMo (a large beer and wine outlet, similar to Total Wine and More).
"It is anticipated the rehabilitation work to the building will be completed by late summer (circa September 2016). The building has been previously identified, through survey evaluation, as an eligible historic resource in the City of Whittier. All rehabilitation work to the building and the freestanding pole sign on the property will follow the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation to ensure that the historic integrity of the building and sign are preserved to retain its significance as an historic resource through survey evaluation."
My sincere thanks to Mr. Dooley for the update.

Elenco di domande che Rodriquez suggerì a Paul Goldberg di porre ai suoi interlocutori.
why these Italian are so arrogant to state, as it were obvious, that the Italian Design has contributed to the American one? You, in fact, as a clever Turkish-American, are an example of absolute independence by the. Do you agree ?
many Italian designers are architects; not the same in other country, for instance, USA; why?
the Italian decoration industry is promoting itself in this market by capitalizing on the image if Italy as a "good taste", "nice style" image; are they a threat to the USA competitors as you are? or – let me be optimistic – can they contribute to ameliorate the taste and the attention the average American people have towards sound interior decoration ?


There is no doubt that binary options are rife with scams. The good news is that the industry is progressing and maturing to a point where there are safe havens for enjoyable, entertaining and even profitable binary options trading. This is due in large part to two things; regulation and businessmen. Regulation has helped in some ways to set a standard of operation, in some areas at least, and businessmen have recognized the long term benefit of operating a legitimate brokerage rather than a fly-by-night gone-with-the-wind scam broker bucket shop. This does not, however, mean that scams are gone, that scammers have ceased to exist or that binary options trading is safe because it's not. There are still scammers and they are still scamming, they have just changed their focus.
Originally, in the old days, a few years ago, back when digital trading first began gaining popularity, the scam thing to do was to open up a shady broker. It was easy to either create your own platform to simulate trading, or use a white label service (I'm not pointing fingers, there are some white labels that have been abused by the scammers) to create one with the click of the button. These brokers were only in business to collect your deposits. They did not offer good service, did not have great trading, were often plagued by bugs and seldom remitted withdrawals. The claim was often that problems were the fault of your ISP or computer, or that you failed to meet bonus terms, or that you were committing fraud or any number of things making it your problem and not theirs. Needless to say this is a big part of why binary options got such a bad rap.
Now, through the efforts of websites like BOTS, BONET, BOD and others, along with organizations like CySEC and the FSA the playing field is just to difficult for shady brokers to operate in. This doesn't mean that there aren't still some out there, it's just less common to find one than it used to be. So what happened? The hucksters have shifted their attention from the brokerages to providing signals services. They have changed tactics, instead of going directly for you cash through a broker, they are now indirectly attacking the unwary through SSP's (Signal Service Providers, see this article – YouTube Beware, Signal Sellers are Coming!). The SSP's are free, easy to use, guarantee a moderate rate of success and only require that you open a new account with their "trusted" broker in order to receive the service.
Many time in the past this trusted broker would be in fact a shady broker who either was in cahoots with the SSP or owned it outright. The problem now is that there are less and less shady brokers, and when a new one pops up traders are more and more wary of it so this tactic is not as successful as it once was. This means that the SSP's, instead of giving up, have started to use legitimate and trustworthy brokers as the "featured, trusted or recommended" broker. Does this mean that the SSP and the broker are linked together? No, it doesn't and this is because of online marketing. It is very easy for anyone who wants to to join right up with an online partnership program and then start promoting the broker or brokers represented by that program.
The ease of online marketing is almost scary. You really can sign up and start placing banners and links within minutes. The really scary part is that because anyone can do it, and it is the internet, what you find in terms of marketing materials may or may not be the truth, like the results or ease of use of a an SSP. I think now it will be easy to see how an SSP can make a broker look bad. Not because the broker is bad, or because binary trading is bad, but because the promises and claims of the SSP were not honest, the service was not aimed at the long term success of its users and the people backing it are scammers. We've already discussed free binary options signals, now this article comes to prove the point.
The take away from this is that there are still scams out there. Some of them are brokers, but more and more of them are SSP's. Many of these SSP's are recommending good brokers, and giving them a bad name. What this means for you as a trader is to be wary of SSP's that require you to deposit and to do your own checking when looking at a broker. Just because somebody else got scammed by an SSP using 24Option or AnyOption or EmpireOption or StockPair or any number of good brokers that the broker in question is a scam. It's easy enough to lose your money on your own, don't let a sucky SSP lose it for you.

In the 1990s, intelligent traffic solutions became an important business segment for Kapsch. It began with small projects such as traffic flow control and parking management. The 'Öko-Punkte' project in Austria was considered a milestone, allowing Kapsch to achieve a breakthrough in 1996. This strongly development-oriented market continued to grow in significance – today, Kapsch TrafficCom AG (KTC) is a globally active provider of intelligent transportation systems.
In order to seize control of the flood of trucks, Austria launched the 'Öko-Punkte' project: individual countries were issued contingents of points for their trucks; Kapsch received an order to develop an electronic 'eco point' system in 1996. In doing so, the company beat numerous big players and developed the tolling technology that became the flagship core business of the later Kapsch TrafficCom AG (KTC).
Kapsch developed a non-contact, multifunctional polyester card in the mid-1990s. The idea behind this card was related to toll control projects, in which non-contact cards were expected to play a large role. Sales and distribution problems, however, led to the abandonment of the project.
This Kapsch device resulted indirectly from the development of multifunctional cards. It came into use for 'reading' eCards and prescription cards and was developed by Kapsch Components (KCO), a subsidiary of Kapsch TrafficCom. Today, it is used by more than 12,000 doctors in Austria.
In 1996, Kapsch took over the Swiss company Indelco, whose radio system at the time was used by nearly 10,000 taxis throughout Europe. The concept of the system: a server automatically assigns vehicles while optimally using the location of each taxi. In 2001, Kapsch decided to concentrate on tolling technology and sold Indelco.
The first country-wide MLFF (multi-lane free-flow) system in the world entered into operation in 2004. Obtaining a strategically important tender for a national toll system provided Kapsch with the foundation for future international success in this business segment.
In 2007, the nationwide tolling system 'MYTO CZ' – constructed by Kapsch in only nine months – entered into operation across the Czech Republic. MYTO CZ was the first toll project not only manufactured, but also operated by Kapsch.
Kapsch TrafficCom was floated on the Vienna Stock Exchange in 2007. After numerous international successes, companies with strategically interesting technical solutions in target markets were to be acquired in order to ensure sustainable growth for the company. The required funds were raised in this very successful initial public offering. In respect of its roots as a traditional family-owned business, Kapsch offered a 20% discount on shares to its employees.
In 2010, Kapsch received an order to build a toll system for the transport connection of the Brisbane airport. Using this system, the toll is charged fully electronically. The required devices are located both on the toll gantry as well as inside the vehicle – the so-called on-board unit (OBU).
This camera is part of the so-called enforcement system of a toll gantry. A video camera and a laser scanner are able to record the volume of vehicles, photograph license plates as well as read and transfer the information. In this way, vehicles subject to tolling can be identified even if they do not have an on-board unit installed.
Transceivers are stationary transmitters on toll gantries. When a vehicle passes under a toll gantry, the transceiver transmits the information from the on-board unit inside the vehicle to the back office location.
On-board units (OBUs) are installed in vehicles (primarily trucks) so that toll fees can be charged on the move. Kapsch Components manufactures 10,000 units per day.
The DYNAC software collects and processes traffic data in real time and allows control centers for short reaction times to traffic jams, accidents and other emergency situations. Information about travel times, accidents, weather and road conditions can be passed on quickly to drivers and thus allow better informed traveling decisions.
In 1996, real estate assets held by the Kapsch AG were transferred to a new, separate company. The Europlaza project was launched in 2001: large office complexes were built on the premises of former production factories in multiple stages of development – the Kapsch Group headquarter is also located here on the Europlaza.
Kapsch Smart Energy was founded in 2010. The new company already achieved success in the area of intelligent energy management during its first years – 13,000 smart meters were installed in the city of Feldkirch in 2012; Kapsch developed the software.

Still think Macs don't get viruses?
Use a Mac? No antivirus? Still think Macs don't get viruses?
Here at ITGUY, we are pretty easy going when it comes to what kind of computer you use. We like Macs. We like PCs. But what we don't like is a computer without security protection.
1. Solid security based on UNIX (an old computer system from the 1970s). This means it's much harder to infect a Mac than a PC.
2. A very small market share in comparison to Windows-based PCs. Cybercriminals want to make as much money/cause any many problems as possible, so it makes sense that they want to target the most common computer system, especially as it's less secure.
Dangers lurk all over the internet and can affect not only the underlying operating system but also apps that run on them.
Web browsers, for example, are under constant attack.
Malicious websites try to force browsers to reveal stored passwords.
Phishing links luring you to enter bank details on sites which mimic banking sites in every way.
Key to any defence against malware or viruses is a sensible approach to how you use your computer. So thinking that you'll be OK because you have a Mac and not a PC should not be seen as "carte blanche" to click "yes" to every pop-up that appears on your screen!
This helpful post from Avast breaks down the key areas that Mac users should think about to secure their machines, not just antivirus software.
Remember that we're here to help with all your IT security needs, so please feel free to give us a call on 020 72 41 22 55 or fill out our contact form and we'll quickly get back to you.

Young Gun: Tino Quamina
Arsenal Media 30 Nov 2021
Every matchday programme features an exclusive feature with one of our stars of the future. In a recent edition, young left back Tino Quamina told us about starting out as a striker, enjoying the 'dark arts' of the game and more!
To buy each issue - men's and women's - of the matchday programme, click here
My earliest football memory? My brother used to play for a Sunday league team when he was about six or seven (I'm two years younger) and I always used to come along to watch his training sessions. I loved watching all of the older lads play until one day the coach told me I might as well join in. I did and that's where it all started really.
I spent a lot of my time playing against older age groups growing up, but eventually I joined my own team at my own age level. It was with a team in Dagenham called Jay's Football Club.
I hadn't started playing seriously before then, I was just messing about with my bro. He helped to spark my love for football and from there I was on my own journey!
It wasn't long before I joined an academy too. I was involved at a few pre-academies and bounced between Tottenham and Chelsea, but then I came along to Arsenal and that's when I officially joined the club aged nine. It was a really good feeling to tell people at school I was actually an Arsenal academy player, but I remember everyone was really surprised. It felt good to know you were actually good!
Tino Quamina
Coming into the training ground on my first day as an Arsenal player was a shock, it wasn't like anything I'd ever experienced before. That made joining quite a scary thing to go through, but once I met everyone, all the staff and the players, and saw the facilities, I was buzzing. I think Matheus Roberts is the only current player that was there on my first day.
As is the case with most young kids, I didn't really understand tactics, instructions or what was happening on the pitch, I would just go out there to play football. To have fun.
Like most young defenders that come through the academy system, I also started my career as an attacker. I was originally a striker or left winger, but over the years I've dropped further and further back until finally settling in as a left back.
I remember the first time I was asked to move into defence… I wasn't happy! I backed myself in attack. Initially I was thinking, 'Why am I playing this position? I know I'm better on the wing.' But over time it grew on me and I found myself starting to enjoy it more and more. I love the dark arts of the game!
These days, I would describe myself as a modern attacking full back. I like to get forward, but I'll also put in a shift defensively. Wing back is my preferred position, it's more attacking than just playing as a left back. Physically the role is tough, but it's part of the game, it gives me more opportunities to get nearer to the goal and get more assists, and that's what I'm all about.
Making my debut for the under-18s last season was an amazing experience. I had been training with them for quite a long time, so I was thinking, 'When's it going to happen?' So, when it finally happened I was really relieved. I could feel the difference stepping up from the other age groups, the intensity was different, the game was quicker, you had to do everything a second quicker or you'd be exposed. There's no room for error.
Heading into this season, my initial goal was to make sure I'm involved with the under-18s week in, week out, which I've managed to do a decent job of so far. But I'm always looking to improve and recently I've been working hard on my one-on-one defending.
At under-16 level, things were pretty easy for me from a physical point of view, but now the gap is closing a bit more and I think I've come a long way in that area this season. I've mostly been working on showing attackers to one side and picking the right time to win the ball, so I hope I can continue to improve my defending and take every opportunity that's handed to me by my coaches.

What Does a Plant Patent Covering the Charlotte's Web Strain Mean for the CBD Industry?
Many cannabis and investor news outlets recently reported that the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) awarded what appears to be the first patent for a hemp strain to Denver-based Charlotte's Web Holdings (CWBHF).[1] Plant patents are relatively rare compared to utility patents, but it will be important for those in the cannabis industry to understand their scope, how they compare and contrast to utility patents, and their potential impact on the cannabis industry.
CWBHF's hemp strain patent, U.S. Plant Patent No. PP30,639, lists CEO Joel Stanley as an inventor and is directed to "a new and distinct hemp cultivar designated as 'CW2A.'" The patent describes CW2A as a Cannabis sativa L. cultivar that is capable of producing up to 6.24% CBD and only 0.27% THC. The THC content of CW2A is notable for being below the 0.3% threshold required for federal classification as "hemp" under the 2018 Farm Bill. As background, the 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the scope of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), opening the door for legal hemp cultivation in the United States.[2] CBD (cannabidiol) can be derived from hemp and has recently exploded in popularity. While regulators, including the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), are still grappling with the rapidly-expanding CBD market, many in the cannabis industry are plowing forward with marketing plans in contemplation of federal regulations and state plan approvals that would authorize the legal cultivation of hemp.
Interest in hemp cultivation has risen in tandem with CBD's popularity. According to a recent study by the Brightfield Group, 285,000 acres of hemp were planted in the United States in 2019, an increase of 72% from 2018, and as much as 87% of that hemp is expected to be used for CBD processing.[3] Indeed, CWBHF's plant patent lists numerous potential market uses of the CW2A hemp strain, including: medical drugs, foods (e.g., margarine, food supplements), drinks (e.g., infused beverages, sports drinks), technical products (e.g., varnishes, fuel, print inks, solvents, coatings), personal hygiene products (e.g., cosmetics, soap, shampoo, bath gels), hemp-infused pet treats, textiles (e.g., apparel, diapers, fabrics, denim, socks, shoes, fine textiles, twine, rope, carpets, geotextiles), and building materials (e.g., fiber, insulation material, cement blocks). While some of these products (e.g., drugs, foods, drinks, pet treats) may require FDA approval, those not intended for human or animal consumption may not (e.g., textiles, building materials).
The issuance of CWBHF's patent begs the question: what does this mean for those who make, use, or sell hemp that is capable of producing up to 6.24% CBD and only 0.27% THC? The answer is that plant patents are relatively narrow in scope. Plant patents, which were created by the Plant Patent Act of 1930, afford protection for asexually propagated plants (i.e., clones having identical genetics to those of the patented plant). Plant patents do not protect sexually produced plants (e.g., those cultivated by seed). As a result, a plant patent is infringed only when the infringer has cloned the accused plant from the plant protected by the patent. Plant patents are therefore generally not concerning to those who are seed farming or cultivating similar but not genetically identical plant varieties. If cloning proprietary strains ultimately proves critical to the cannabis industry, a patent covering such genetics could have far-reaching implications.
Utility patents, on the other hand, offer relatively broader protection and can be advantageous where the invention lies in the development of a plant or plant product that is cultivated to have previously unknown and non-naturally occurring properties. One advantage of utility patents over plant patents in this regard is that, if utility patent protection is awarded, the claimed invention can be infringed even if the accused product is reproduced sexually (e.g., by seed farming). Utility patents are routinely issued by the Patent Office for plants and plant elements (e.g., buds, pollen, fruit, plant-derived chemicals, extracts, proteins, engineered genes).
In sum, while a plant patent covering a commercially valuable strain for cloning purposes certainly has value, its scope is bounded to the genetics of the patented plant and leaves room for sexual reproduction (e.g., seed farming). By contrast, a utility patent covering a non-naturally occurring strain, where the claim is defined in terms of the plant's novel characteristics could make the avoidance of infringement more difficult and thus serve as stronger patent protection.
Patents are a large investment and sophisticated strategies are needed to ensure that they provide value to their owners—whether for defensive purposes, offensive purposes, or both. And while patenting activity in the cannabis space has a history dating back to the 1950s, the recent growth in commercial value, investment interest, and biomedical innovation is proving to be a game-changer. As a result, the need for sophisticated patent counsel has never been greater.
