Funding Water Projects Across Canada Virtual Gathering
Posted on Our Stories by Andrew Stegemann · December 03, 2020 12:31 PM · 1 reaction
Over 50 freshwater champions registered for our November 19, 2020 virtual gathering to discuss the topic of Funding Water Projects Across Canada. We had a great turnout!
We gathered to find the answer to a thought-provoking question: Is there a desire from the freshwater community to collectively call on the federal government to better fund water projects right across the country? We were asking this question because of the confluence of multiple factors:
Organizations across the country have water-related projects ready to implement, but lack the resources to do so. As we summarized in a letter to the Prime Minister in May, the Our Living Waters Network compiled a list of over 300 such projects in only three weeks. Imagine the number of projects that exist but are not on the list? Imagine the positive impact on our waters if each of these projects were implemented!
There is a gap in available federal funding programs that support community-level projects across the country to improve the health of our waters;
The inclusion of a Canada Water Agency in the latest Speech from the Throne further indicates that the federal government is considering how to better support freshwater health;
There are good regional examples of organizations asking governments (provincial and federal) for support that can be a source of inspiration for other regions.
We started the virtual gathering with three presentations:
A case study on the success of the BC Watershed Security Coalition in advocating for an investment in watershed security as a part of BC's economic recovery plan (slides here)
The water management context in Quebec (no slides, please see recording)
Results from research on existing water funding opportunities in Canada from the federal government (slides here).
The recording of the virtual gathering can be found here, but as technology goes... well sometimes it doesn't go fully. To note, the last presentation was cut off for reasons we will blame on 2020 in general (that is to say, we don't actually know why it was cut off).
After these informative presentations, we broke into five smaller groups to discuss two questions:
1) Considering the presentation and case studies we've seen, what opportunities exist for a coordinated federal ask?
2) Do you feel there is value in making a coordinated federal ask for funding of water projects right across the country?
As a teaser, we certainly heard a lot of support for collectively calling on the federal government to better fund water projects right across the country. Our next steps are to fully digest the detailed notes we took from those breakout dialogues and then to report back to the freshwater community on our next steps given what we heard.
A big thank you to everyone who supported the creation of our virtual gathering and to all of you: the incredible community of freshwater champions!
Growing the Economy and Building a Climate Resilient, Water Secure Future
Posted on Our Stories by Lindsay Telfer · June 01, 2020 7:01 AM
Investing in 'shovel-ready' and 'shovel-worthy' jobs that advance climate resiliency and water security can create an immediate 3638 jobs and nearly 1.5 million job hours in over 300 projects across the country. By prioritizing investment in small, rural and Indigenous communities we can put people to work across numerous impacted communities from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
Read our letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and to members of the Green Recovery Taskforce, including summary of our research and the over 300 projects we identified.
Natural Infrastructure is an Integral Part of Green Recovery
Posted on Our Stories by Lindsay Telfer · May 26, 2020 6:40 AM
42 groups came together to encourage Prime Minister Trudeau and key federal ministers to invest in natural infrastructure as a part of Canada's COVID-19 recovery plan. In an open letter submitted on Thursday May 21st, the groups provide detailed recommendations for investment in natural infrastructure as an integral part of Canada's economic recovery from the COVID crisis and its long-term resilience against the impending climate emergency.
The letter focuses on three key recommendations:
Get money moving by expediting funding to projects that are "shovel-ready" and "shovel-worthy,";
Keep money moving by modifying existing programs to address current barriers for natural infrastructure projects; and
Sustains support over the long term by enabling integrated policy, programs and legislation, including the establishment of a dedicated natural infrastructure fund.

A Green Infrastructure Tour of the Courtenay River
Posted on Our Stories by Lindsay Telfer · January 24, 2020 5:58 AM
The K'omoks Estuary is a special place in the Comox Valley in British Columbia. Majestic Sitka spruce forests, Garry oak ecosystems and extensive tidal flats are home to a variety of birds, fish and other wildlife. The area has a rich Indigenous history, most notably an abundance of well-preserved wooden stakes that make up ancient fish traps used by aboriginal communities for over 1,000 years.
Project Watershed has been active in the Comox Valley since the early 1990's, and have prioritized the protection and restoration of the K'omoks Estuary, including notable sites like the Kus-Kus-Sum estuary and Courtenay Air Park lagoon. They are working to increase green floodplain infrastructure in the region to address flooding and rainwater management by increasing flood resilience, infiltration and ecosystem health.
The communities in the Comox Valley are highly attuned to the importance of environmental protection and many of the area's municipal and provincial politicians are supportive. But an increased influx of new residents from nearby Vancouver and Victoria means 40% of the community has lived in the area for less than five years, and there is work to be done to raise the profile of local environmental challenges.
Project Watershed has been working to develop an overall green infrastructure vision for the Valley to address challenges such as flooding and rainwater management. They determined that the well-known and beloved Kus-Kus-Sum estuary, alongside other popular local parks and greenspaces, would make great demonstration sites to showcase the importance of green infrastructure in the valley.
Kus-kus-sum is an ancient burial site that was industrialized with the construction of a sawmill site in the later half of the 20th century. The site now sits with concrete, metal walls along the riverside, and an asbestos filled building on site. Project Watershed, in partnership with the local K'omoks First Nation and the City of Courtenay, have a Memorandum of Understanding to purchase and restore the land to its ancestral existence.
Funding from all levels of government and support from the community are necessary in order to achieve the purchase and restoration price tag of 6.5 million dollars.
They hosted a tour of six local sites, with the participants being invited to tour on foot or by kayak. Local speakers and volunteers were engaged to lead the tours and share information about each location, and its potential to contribute to a green infrastructure floodplain.
With a goal of spreading the message of the value of green infrastructure far and wide, Project Watershed invited local decision makers of all political stripes, including the mayors and councillors of three area municipalities, school trustees, regional government officials, two MLA's, two MP's, and First Nations communities.
They deliberately kept the tour groups small to ensure a low ratio of volunteers speakers to participants. Lots of personal time for participants meant they really heard and absorbed the messages the speakers were sharing.
The group got a lot of positive feedback from tour participants, and many volunteer speakers indicated they felt strongly that they had a positive influence on their audience. Local councillors said they had gotten in-depth and practical information that would help them in their future planning in the Valley. Building relationships between the host organization and the areas decision-makers was an added bonus of the event that will contribute to the success of green infrastructure planning in the region.
Since scheduling is always a challenge for busy mayors and councillors, the event organizers opted to create laminated maps with speaking notes that could be shared beyond the event. A compelling video was also created showing footage of the walking tour and kayak trip, with a concise but informative narrative about the value of green infrastructure and the potential of local sites.
Depaving paradise in Atlantic Canada
The Town of Sackville, New Brunswick prides itself on their proximity to Tantramar marshes, the Bay of Fundy and the suite of nature-based recreational opportunities available. A University town, the community has a self-described cosmopolitan, artistic and pedestrian-friendly vibe.
EOS Eco-Energy has been active in Sackville and the surrounding Memramcook-Tantramar region for more than 15 years. Focused on promoting renewable energy, sustainable development and climate change action, EOS' focus on community-based solutions has ingrained them in the fabric of the town.
Building on years of climate change adaptation and green infrastructure efforts, EOS undertook the first depaving project in the Tantramar Region in the spring of 2019. Optimally located next to the Sackville Farmers Market in Bill Johnstone Memorial Park, the project involved depaving a 335 sq ft parking area and laying down a permeable pavement layer. The permeable asphalt and its base layers allow rainwater to pass through to the soil below, unlike traditional asphalt which directs water to storm drains.
The project not only addressed a significant draining problem in the parking lot, but also raised public awareness of and desire for green infrastructure solutions in the community.
Softening the Ground
EOS' work on the town's first depaving site began long before the first shovel broke ground. In the spring, they held a Community-Based Social Marketing workshop to develop approaches to build community support and influence social norms around green infrastructure. Specifically, they developed green infrastructure pledges for community members to take, in which they shared how they're using their rainwater as a resource, or commit to how they're going to implement changes in the future. This led to a much bigger impact as pledges were shared on social media, and even picked up and promoted by the provincial government.
The Town of Sackville was a willing partner on the depaving, having worked with EOS on past green infrastructure projects, including rain gardens. This partnership was critical to the project, as the Town not only helped to secure the ideal depaving site, but also helped with site preparation and have agreed to take on the long-term upkeep of the site.
Ensuring Success
The site chosen for this first depaving project was critical to its success. Located next to the Sackville Farmers Market, the site received a high volume of foot traffic. Curious passersby would stop on their way to the market, read the information signage, check out the demonstration site, and learn about permeable paving and green infrastructure. EOS was also able to put up a booth shortly after the site installation to further engage market-goers.
Many people learned about the depaving project from the media. Thanks to concerted and strategic media outreach efforts, EOS' work was picked up by local news outlets as well as CBC New Brunswick. This significantly extended the reach of their work, and they've since had inquiries from across the country, including from people in Manitoba, Ontario, and Newfoundland.
In the months since the depaving project was completed, EOS' has received many inquiries from residents interested in learning more about managing their rainwater. Many have inquired about installing rain barrels on their own properties, so EOS is planning for more bulk purchases and DIY workshops in the future to address that need. They will also be continuing their rain garden program with residential homes, moving beyond the initial focus on schools and businesses.
The Town is looking to possibly install more depaving sites around the city, and Mount Allison University has expressed a similar interest. EOS also has plans to install 10 more rain gardens in downtown Sackville to reduce flooding during summer 2020.
Longer term success for this work would be noticeable behaviour changes among the community, local municipalities and businesses, including depaving their driveways and parking lots and replacing them with permeable pavers or other green infrastructure solutions. EOS has already seen strong indications of this trend taking hold, with residents signing pledges and asking for resources, and growing media attention.
Shediac Bay filling green infrastructure toolbox
Famous for warm beaches and enormous lobsters, Shediac Bay has strong connections to water. Situated on the Northumberland Strait off the Atlantic Ocean, the shoreline communities around Shediac Bay enjoy a stunning backdrop of coastal islands, lighthouses and beaches.
The people who live and work in the Shediac Bay area care deeply about their local rivers and beaches. While green infrastructure might still be a new idea for most of the public, residents do have a growing awareness of the importance of water quality and the impacts of climate change.
The Shediac Bay Watershed Association has been active in the region for 20 years, and most recently has been working to build community support and participation for green infrastructure. As a key partner in a local initiative EcoVision 2025, SBWA has focused their outreach on the areas's municipalities - increasing staff and councillors knowledge of the value and importance of green infrastructure
Staff of the municipality have a reasonably high level of knowledge about green infrastructure, but with limited capacity as a small municipality, they haven't been able to bring in new approaches. They've been open to and supportive of SBWA's offers of partnership, and SBWA staff have been able to naturalize a recent retention pond the city built, and also gave the go-ahead to build one demonstration rain garden in 2018 with another planned in a high visibility area for 2020.
To move beyond support for third party projects, the municipalities need political support and motivation. Under the umbrella of an EcoVision municipal summit, SBWA organised a presentation to three local municipal councils focused on stormwater runoff issues and management approaches. In addition to the presentation, SBWA gave each councillor a stormwater resource kit that included information about rain gardens, rain barrels, stormwater runoff and stormwater management solutions.
The presentation was very well received, with many councillors expressing gratitude for the information. The feedback was that green infrastructure solutions are logical and valuable. The councillors agreed that a more concerted effort for the environment in the region was needed, and that a proposal for a larger scale stormwater management program would be feasible with more planning and more education activities.
With the area municipalities increasingly supportive of larger green infrastructure solutions, SBWA will next turn its attention to the public. Recent media coverage of bacterial contamination on local beaches has led to public concern about water quality. There is a misconception that the contamination is coming from a broken sewage system at a nearby development, but in reality the E Coli is coming from stormwater runoff.
SBWA has been part of a local water testing program, the results of which will help to demonstrate that the contamination is coming from stormwater runoff into area streams. This will provide an excellent opportunity to present green infrastructure projects as the solution for water quality in the rivers and beaches so loved by local communities.
Green Infrastructure projects welcomed in Saint John
Beautifully situated on the Bay of Fundy, the historic city of Saint John is home to over 70,000 people. While it's a progressive urban centre with strong connections to nature and water, the value of green infrastructure is still relatively unknown in the community.
That's why ACAP Saint John chose to undertake the installation of Saint John's first rain garden in Queen Square West, a popular west-side park. ACAP saw this as an opportunity to not only elevate public knowledge and appreciation of green infrastructure, but as a key step in a larger initiative to develop a climate change adaptation plan for the City. The demonstration rain garden was an opportunity to showcase what green infrastructure, a key aspect of climate change adaptation, could look like in the city.
ACAP worked with staff from the City of Saint John and local volunteers to build the rain garden and plant 200 native plants on the site. They also installed an interpretive sign that would inform visitors to the park about the value of rain gardens, and direct them to ACAP's website for more resources. In addition to informing the public about green infrastructure, ACAP hoped to inspire people to build rain gardens on their own properties.
ACAP has a good relationship with the City, who often lend in-kind support for project installation. This project not only had planning and implementation support by city staff, but the project was unanimously supported by the city council.
For the rain garden project, ACAP engaged a broader audience by inviting nearby schools to tour the site and leading tours for local service clubs. Volunteers from a local business were instrumental in helping with planting and installation. Planting days were also well attended by community media. This ensured that news of the rain garden installation would reach a larger and more diverse audience.
Saint John's first public rain garden has been enthusiastically received. ACAP staff and volunteers are regularly complimented on the garden as they water or weed the site and visitors share their appreciation for the improvement to the previously sparse park. It's been valuable for staff and volunteers to be on-site doing the garden maintenance, as it's provided an opportunity to initiate conversations with park users and visitors about the importance of rain gardens and green infrastructure. The signage on site has also been key. ACAP has ensured there are good resources on their website about how to build a rain garden at home, so interested community members can initiate similar projects on their properties.
ACAP already has plans for another rain garden installation in the city, at the ACAP office downtown. While it is early days for green infrastructure development in Saint John, this successful installation is a key first step in undertaking a larger climate change adaptation planning process for the City.
Data on sewage overflows now available on public data portal!
Posted on Our Stories by Lindsay Telfer · July 30, 2019 10:03 AM
Imagine watching the water rush over Niagara Falls for a full 24-hours. Now imagine it wasn't water at all…imagine it was raw sewage. That is how much sewage was dumped into Canadian waterways in 2017. That's 270 million cubic metres.
Where does this sewage come from? Either areas that offer no treatment, so it just flows (if that's the word) untreated into our water bodies, or from combined sewer overflows – sewer systems that combine both wastewater and stormwater, and when they hit their maximum levels, they overflow.
We all intuitively understand that sewage is yucky. Nobody is excited to swim, paddle or fish in sewage-affected waters. And, as you can imagine, untreated sewage wreaks havoc on water quality, and can include a who's who list of contaminants including all kinds of bacteria (like E.Coli), viruses (like Giardia) and parasites which can make people and animals sick—and may even be lethal. It is also very high in phosphorus and nitrogen, contributing to nutrient pollution that can drive toxic algal blooms.
Though this news is not great for our waters, it is a win that Statistics Canada is now publishing the information on a new public access portal. The data shows that BC is leading the nation in total sewage released into waterways (both CSOs and untreated discharges), followed by Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Looking at Combine Sewer Overflows alone, Quebec leads the nation, followed by British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Ontario.
But thanks to the work of Our Living Waters Network members, there are solutions to our combined sewer overflow problems. Check out the toolkit "Tackling Combined Sewer Overflows" developed by Ottawa Riverkeeper.
On the positive side, let's look at what a few communities are doing to solve the combine sewer overflow problem:
The City of Ottawa is currently building a Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel, a storage facility designed to hold up to 43 million litres of sewage and stormwater. The tunnel is intended to create more capacity for combined sewers, which would take pressure off existing infrastructure in times of heavy precipitation and therefore decrease instances of overflow events. Notwithstanding this project, it would not have prevented at least nine CSO events in 2017, which generated more volume than the tunnel can hold. The tunnel, which will be operational in 2020, should stop CSOs in all but extreme weather events.
Although the scope of the CSOs is particularly daunting in Vancouver, there is work underway to address the issue. For example, Metro Vancouver (the regional government consisting of 22 member municipalities) is slowly separating stormwater sewers from wastewater sewers, with the goal to eliminate all CSOs by the year 2050. They are prioritizing sewers that are the worst offenders. They have also required all 22 member municipalities to adopt Integrated Stormwater Management Plans, which include actions like integrating green infrastructure into land-use planning in order to minimize runoff that makes its way to sewer systems in the first place. The City of Vancouver is also in the process of developing a Rain City Strategy, with the goal of minimizing runoff by capturing and cleaning 90% of rainwater that falls in the city.
While solutions need to be enacted in these specific places, it is ultimately a national challenge. One that OLW Network members are committed to turn the curve on (ending Canada's sewage pollution problem is a priority for the OLW Network).

OLW and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This global agenda aims to catalyze actions necessary for humans to live sustainably with each other and the planet by focusing on a variety of thematic areas including people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. To inspire action, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been developed and specific targets and indicators have been created under each goal to measure progress.
While reaching the SDGs is going to take many organizations all across the world, for each individual organization, it means understanding the important part we play in the larger picture.
The work of the Our Living Waters Network - and the OLW shared measurement system, which drives many of the collaborative actions we take - is well aligned with many of the SDGs. In particular SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, but also with specific targets and indicators within SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 14: Life Below Water, SDG 15: Life on Land, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
We know many organizations, from governments to non-profit organizations, funders to businesses, are actively determining how to achieve the SDGs, and as a member of the OLW Network, we invite you to explore our handy guide: Our Living Waters and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which demonstrates how the OLW shared measurement system, and much of the work that you do, helps achieve these SDGs. We hope you will find this guide useful if you are looking to demonstrate how your activities contribute to the SDGs.
Taking a step back, the guide also shows how the OLW shared measurement system provides an excellent roadmap on how to achieve many parts of the SDGs, especially SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, within the Canadian context, allowing us all to play our important part in the larger picture.

This Mother's Day, Once Upon A Time will air its series changing season finale!
Before we find out if Henry can save everyone from the Author's pen, here are several highlights from this season of OUAT!
Technically, Season Four began at the very end of "There's No Place Like Home," when Arendale's queen broke out of her urn. Elsa (Georgina Haig)'s unexpected arrival set the tone for the first half of the season.
Loyal Evil Regals feared that their queen would go back to the dark side at the beginning of the season when Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) brought back "Marian" to present day Storybrooke. However, Regina (Lana Parrilla) did the right thing and saved Robin Hood's past love from death when she used a fireball on Elsa's icy creation! This moment showcased that the Evil Queen was still on the road to redemption!
One of my favorite non-romantic pairings of the season was Rumple (Robert Carlyle) and Ingrid the Snow Queen (Elizabeth Mitchell)! Their chemistry when the two characters shared scenes was electric. One of my favorite exchanges of the first half of the season occurred when Rumple showcased his trump card, the Sorcerer's Hat, and threatened to trap Ingrid in it.
Frozen fans finally got their wish when the Sisters of Arendale reunited after being apart from each other for a couple of episodes. Both Haig and Elizabeth Lail (Anna) brilliantly delivered that reunion scene and made fans scream with delight.
Ingrid's "Spell of Shattered Sight" inverted all of Storybrooke and made them the darkest versions of themselves. The person affected the most by it was Regina! The Evil Queen briefly made a nasty reappearance as she threatened little Neal's life while under the Snow Queen's spell. This led to one of the best catfights of the season between Regina and her longtime rival-Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin).
Just before Ingrid let Storybrooke burn itself to the ground, Anna saved the day by delivering a letter from her mother (and Ingrid's dearly departed sister) that said that she should have embraced her sister (and her daughter)'s powers instead of viewing them as monsters. After touching the Arendale seal, Ingrid got her happy memories back and realized her wrongdoing. She sacrificed herself and retracted her spell. Ingrid's death remains one of the show's most haunting (and tragic) deaths.
Hearts of Rumpbelle fans were breaking when Beauty banished her Beast from Storybrooke! After learning that her husband embraced his quest for power over their love, Belle (Emile de Ravin) furiously forced the Dark One to step over the town line…leaving him powerless. While Gold was furious with his predicament, the Dark One decided that he needed reinforcement to continue his quest.
Gold's reinforcements came in the form of three very nasty and iconic villainesses: Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten), Ursula (Merrin Dungey) & Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit). While the trio made a formidable force, they nearly killed each other during their first encounter!
As Gold and Ursula prepared to fetch Cruella, the Dark One unleashed his revenge on the town. He sent his ex a spell that not only released the fairies from their imprisonment in the Sorcerer's Hat, but also unleashed one of Disney's most feared and omnipotent villains: Fantasia's Chernabog!
When a resurrected Maleficent vowed to destroy the Charmings' lives for banishing her daughter to the real world, the royal couple desperately turned to their longtime enemy to act as their mole. Regina had to test her loyalties to her former colleagues in the ultimate game of Chicken–rescue them from a speeding train! This scene perfectly blended intensity and comedy together, plus one hysterical unseen result: Evil Queens' Girls Night!
OUAT fans were excited to learn that Eion Bailey would reprise his role as August W. Booth earlier this year. Emma's former Guardian Angel returned when Gold undid the Blue Fairy's magic and forced the now-aged Pinocchio to answer questions about the Author's true location.
You have to give it to Once creators Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis…. bringing back the Wicked Witch (Rebecca Mader) into the picture was so unforeseen that it shocked fans and broke the Internet! From holding Rumple's heart potion over his hospital bed to breaking Regina and Robin's (and Outlaw Queen fans) hearts that she is expecting Robin's child, Zelena proved that revenge is best served cold! I hope that Ms. Mader gets a Emmy nomination for her work in "Heart of Gold," because it was one of the show's best monologues in its' four year history.
If you ever told a die-hard Disney fan that Cruella de Vil would defeat the Mistress of All Evil, they would laugh in your face! However, they would take back their words once they see this clip from "Sympathy for the De Vil." When Maleficent confronted her fellow Queen of Darkness about her daughter, the 101 Dalmatians villainess confessed that she left Lily in the woods to die. Before an enraged Maleficent dragon could eat her for lunch, Ms. de Vil unleashed her animal controlling smoke on her friend and chided the dragon for underestimating her!
Emma and Lily had an intense reunion that almost led to Maleficent's daughter's death. While Lily prodded her former friend to kill her, it was up to the former Evil Queen to rescue her frenemy from a lifetime quest of redemption. This marked another important chapter in Swan Queen history and I hope that we get more moments like these in the future!
I do not own all the clips that are featured in this article! They belong to the American Broadcasting Company.

Tencent ups the bike-rental ante with largest funding round so far
|By Sheila Yu
Mobike today announced that it has raised over US$600 million in Series E, the largest ever financing round in the bike-rental industry.
This landmark round, putting the company at a valuation of between US$2 billion and US$3 billion (in Chinese), was led by existing investor Tencent and joined by Sequoia China, TPG, and Hillhouse Capital, among others. New investors in this round included leading banks BOCOM International, ICBC International, and global institutional asset management firm Farallon Capital.
Davis Wang, CEO and Co-founder of Mobike, said Mobike has three clear targets for the coming months: First, they will accelerate the pace of global expansion with a new target to be in 200 cities by the end of this year; second, they will increase investment in R&D of their IoT network and new technologies; and, third, they will invest in building a superior technology infrastructure to support their innovations in the field of AI and intelligent hardware.
Mobike claims it is now active in more than 100 cities globally and operates more than 5 million bikes around the world.
Since its official establishment last April, Mobile has secured an aggregate US$ 1.1 billion through eight financing rounds (in Chinese). Among its investors, Tencent, the lead investor in this round, has become the company's largest investor, following its participation in the company's Series C+ and Series D.
Alongside its role as a strategic investor, Tencent has also formed a strong business partnership with Mobike. Mobike bike-rental feature was added to Tencent's WeChat Wallet in March. In addition, WeChat users can utilize Mobike's bike- rental service by searching for the mini-app on WeChat, which has been available since this January.
The backing from Tencent, China's most valuable public company, will undoubtedly fuel the growth of the bike rental startup. Chinese tech giants are joining in on the bike rental bandwagon either financially or technically, in an attempt to share in the boom sweeping all over the country.
Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing has injected hundreds of million USD in three financing rounds of ofo, Mobike's arch-rival. Besides, Didi has added bike-sharing service from ofo to its app. Alipay, the online and mobile payment platform operated by Ant Financial, has partnered with six bike rental firms to allow users to rent bikes through the app's new 'scan and ride' function.
Artificial intelligence-obsessed Baidu, though having not made any investment in either of the bike rental startups, has recently teamed up with Mobike and ofo by integrating bike rental services on its Baidu map service. After downloading Baidu map app version V9.8.5 and registering via Baidu, users can use the rental service. The tie-up is expected to be a win-win strategy for the parties involved, which will not only improve utilization of the bikes but will bring more traffic to Baidu map and provide big data insights to it.
Ofo, the only bike-rental firm on the global unicorn company list released in May by CB Insights, is said to be seeking a US$ 500 million new financing round at a valuation of about US$3 billion.

Q: Chaining complex queries using ActiveRecord Let's suppose I have a rails model, Table, with methods location,a1,a2,a3
I have a postgresql query of the form
SELECT avg(val) FROM (
    SELECT unnest(array[a1,a2,a3]) as val FROM table WHERE location = 'USA') alias;

Which I would like to undertake using activerecord, rather than as raw SQL, mainly because I would like to be able to split the query so it's chainable, along the lines of:
Table.where(location: 'USA').select(...)

(The reason for this is that I'd like to move the postgresql query above into the model as a method.)
Is there any way this can be done?

A: Table.from(
  Table.where(location: 'USA').select('unnest(array[a1,a2,a3]) as val'),
  'subquery_name'
).average('subquery_name.val')

Now, for you to understand what the above query is doing, please study the following ActiveRecord methods:

*

* from(value, subquery_name = nil)

* average(column_name, options = {})

Russian President: New World Order with new Global Currency
As many other puppet presidents have done it before, Russia's Dmitri Medvedev is taking his opportunity to call for a new world
Russian President, Dmitri Medvedev
order and to push the Russian currency up, as the new reserve paper. "What had seemed untouchable has collapsed. The bubbles that created the illusion of flourishing economies have burst," said the Russian president in St Petersburg. As he opened Russia's annual economic forum, Medvedev said the times when western corporations dominated the economy had ended and the new interest in Russia was a sign that the world was changing.
"For Russia this situation is a challenge and an opportunity. And we should use it to build a modern, flourishing and strong Russia … which will be a co-founder of the new world economic order." he added. Talking in front of many businessmen from around the world, the Russia leader followed the steps of other governments and presidents as well as of non-governmental institutions. In the past, George H.W. Bush, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Barack Obama, among others, have called for the formation of a new world order. In fact, all those leaders have cited the creation of a centralized global entity as the only way to cure the many illnesses the world suffers from today.
Together with governments, there are supranational institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and their respective leaders, who have echoed the same calls for the creation of a new global order. This order would have the power, will amass the resources of the planet and will decide how to use them. The plan also includes the creation of a single monetary policy to which all countries will have to submit to. The adherence to such policy will enable the countries to receive loans and aid packages that will make them more dependent on the foreign centralized organization, and less dependent on their own Constitutions and laws. In fact, in the world seen through the eyes of people like Medvedev and the other power men, there is no need for nationality, sovereignty or identity.
Russia has already taken significant steps to aid the lifeline of the new world order -which has existed for many years now-. The country will introduce a policy of zero taxation on capital gains which will indeed allow the free flow of monies in and out of, much like it happens in corrupt countries where this policy aides and enables money laundering through the banking system. This would transform Russia into the new United States when it comes to moving large amounts of money coming from all places -drug trade, arms trade, slave trade- to circulate and make its way across the world. Of course Medvedev did not present it like that. Instead, he said his policy would allow companies working on long-term investments. Russia, he said, "was improving the legal system to offer better protection for businesses against the long arm of bureaucracy." In other words, crime, of the kind recently experienced through Wall Street banks around the world will have a safe heaven in Russia. What Mr. Medvedev's words mean is that all the policies that allowed the bankers to suck countries dry of their resources will also exist in the world order he dreams about, where Russia is the new leader and he's the new Al Capone. Limits to bureaucracy means zero regulation or a perfect environment for the corporations to run their shady Ponzi schemes.
The Russian president also talked about something that would make any corporate businessman smile, even in the rainiest day. Russia has completed the process of simplifying migration procedures, so that workers can go in the country; or better, Russia just like China will allow corporations to pay some of the lowest wages to its citizens in exchange for long working days with no benefits and no rights. Again, it's clear he did not present it this way. He said Russia had changed to attract "highly-qualified specialists" from the financial and technology sectors. "The state should not tear down the apples from the tree of economics," he said.
Medvedev complemented his speech on a new world order by forcefully attacking the dollar and claiming that it was time for a new reserve currency. "Only three, five years ago it seemed like a fantasy" to create a new reserve currency. Now we are seriously discussing it." He does not seem to be alone in that ride. It seems China is up to the challenge as well. In the meantime, Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer added his voice to the Russian's, but from a very different point of view, one that is rarely heard. He said: "New reserve currencies don't emerge by fiat. They emerge as countries change." A fiat currency is paper or electronic money that is not backed up by a nation's industry or production, but by an inflated system of blind trust on what a piece of paper says it is worth.
Apparently, both Russia and China think it is time for the East to drive the world and its markets. "We really live at a unique time, and we should use it to build a modern, prosperous and strong Russia, a Russia that will be a co-founder of the new world economic order," he said. The problem with Medvedev's vision is that his plan will not work, at least not for as long as he wants. Although he intends to build something new, better and different, he plans on using the same old policies that brought us to the disaster he so clearly criticizes. He wants prosperity, a modern economy and a strong Russia, but he wants zero regulation, a centralized dictatorial government and no sovereignty. Maybe he forgets that Capitalism, the real Capitalism, was born from free independent nations that based their development on the use of their resources to produce quality goods that benefited the world. Instead, he wants a global economy filled with cheap, slave-made products that need to be changed every few months. He wants the best workers, but will follow the same old low-paying policies that maintains Asia's and Latin America's people in a continuous feudal model of development.
"If the world depended completely on the dollar, the situation would have been more difficult," Medvedev reminded the audience. So why does he want a single global currency, then?

UK demise: Deficit 'to surpass Greece's as worst in EU'
UK Guardian
Whoever wins the election must make sorting out the public finances the top priority, the European commission warned on the eve of the poll, as it predicted the British budget deficit would swell this year to become the biggest in the European Union, overtaking even Greece.
The commission's spring economic forecasts put the UK deficit for this calendar year at 12% of GDP, the highest of all 27 EU nations and worse than the Treasury's own forecasts.
The country's budget shortfall was the third largest in the EU last year but will overtake both Greece and Ireland this year, according to the forecasts. Greece's measures to tackle its public finances problems are projected to cut its deficit to 9.3% of GDP.
Worries about Britain's public finances – in their worst state since the end of the second world war – continue to unnerve financial markets and analysts are divided over whether a hung parliament will have the clout to rapidly reduce the deficit.
"The first thing for the new government to do is to agree on a convincing, ambitious programme of fiscal consolidation in order to start to reduce the very high deficit and stabilise the high debt level of the UK," said European economic and monetary affairs commissioner Olli Rehn.
"That's by far the first and foremost challenge of the new government. I trust whatever the colour of the government, I hope it will take this measure."
The deficit forecasts are an improvement on the commission's last outlook for Britain but they still paint a gloomier picture than the government itself.
In financial year terms, the commission's forecasts are for a worse deficit than predicted by Alistair Darling at his March budget. In 2010/11 the commission puts the deficit at 11.5% of GDP, compared with Darling's forecast for an 11.1% ratio of public sector net borrowing – the gap between tax and spending – to GDP.
The EU's executive did double its forecast for British growth this year to 1.2% from 0.6%, in line with a March budget forecast for 1-1.5%. But in 2011 it warns growth will only pick up to 2.1%, significantly below a Treasury forecast of 3-3.5%.
It described "a slow start to a protracted recovery", highlighting pressures on private consumption, a key growth driver, from employment worries and stagnant wages.
Darling pointed out that the commission expected the UK to grow more quickly than other major European countries next year – including Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands. "The European commission's report shows again that our judgment call to support the economy was right. Yet again George Osborne's flaky judgment is exposed. The Tories cannot be allowed to derail the recovery," he said.
But opposition politicians seized upon the outlook as evidence that a new government was needed to get the economy back on track. "The day before the election the European commission has issued a damning indictment of Gordon Brown's economic record," said shadow chancellor George Osborne, claiming only the Conservatives would start dealing with Britain's debts on Friday.
"He has left this country with the largest budget deficit in Europe – larger even than Greece – and projections for future growth well below his own forecasts."
Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Lord Oakeshott said the EU report laid bare government overconfidence. "This shows the government has been far too optimistic," he said.
"What matters now is a credible deficit reduction plan backed by the nation. If the Conservatives scrape home with barely a third of the vote and indulge in butchery behind closed doors, that just won't work. That's why the Liberal Democrats call for a council of fiscal stability with all three economic spokesmen, whoever they are, and the governor of the Bank of England to agree a credible deficit reduction plan."

In referring to literary archives today, we use the word "diasporic" in a number of different ways. Archives would not only preserve authors' papers that are geographically scattered due to a variety of reasons, but also have to deal themselves with all the problems, interests, forces (often of different kinds and origins) such a literary diaspora entails. A situation as complex and multi-faceted as this can only be faced by co-operatively deploying different kinds of expertise across a range of different subject areas.
The initial meeting of the participants in the Diasporic Literary Archives project marked the first step towards consolidating such a network. In addition to representatives of the six partner institutions, it brought together a very large team of high-profile international experts and professional figures concerned with issues related to literary archives: authors, scholars, librarians, publishers, archivists, literary agents, and representatives of private, public and publishers' archives, and of relevant bodies and institutions. The assembly of all these different voices provided an opportunity to compare their perspectives. This vast sharing of ideas, working procedures, advice and professional contacts made it possible to explore the foundational guidelines of the project, to identify its key questions and points and to begin outlining action plans and finding solutions to problems.
Some key points have emerged from two days of discussion covering a wide variety of topics: beginning, for instance, with the very question of what archives are, how they should be managed and what their goals might be. In answering this, librarians, archivists and scholars emphasised the interplay between on the one hand the basic mission of an archive to collect, preserve, catalogue, present and make accessible important historical and literary material, and on the other hand the actual working procedures to adopt when dealing with such materials (the guidelines in the UNESCO Universal Declaration of Archives was indicated as a possible model). Some speakers focused in particular on the value of keeping an archive's papers together in one place: and the next seminar, to be held in Pavia in February 2013, will explore precisely this theme of split collections, whereas that in Trinidad and Tobago in March 2014 will deal with the politics of location and its consequences. Given the global nature of the network and of the challenges it aims to face, a good deal of attention has also been drawn to the situation of those archives caught up in problems of a material and political nature, such as Grenada's not having at the moment an accessible building for its archive, or the difficulties faced by Trinidad and Namibia in attracting the attention of policy makers and grants.
Another major area of discussion concerned copyright, ownership and permission, as well as the issue of the commercial value of archives and their links with the publishing industry. Scholars, publishing houses, literary agents and archivists shared their views and experiences on these slippery topics (sometimes characterised by laws and information not always clear, and often varying from country to country) which come into play at every moment of an archive's life: from its setting up and its internal organisation, to its accessibility and the ways it is used, to the means by which the information it holds may be shared with the scholarly community and the whole world. In addition to this, working with archives also entails delicate ethical issues: the border between law and ethics may sometimes be quite subtle. Such aspects can have a tremendous impact on current and future scholarship: they will thus be carefully and systematically discussed during the workshop at IMEC in May 2013.
Throughout both days, "digitisation" made its presence felt. It is, in fact, increasingly changing the way archives are shaped, perceived and used, and is an issue that is attracting growing academic attention. Digitisation can help archives to pursue their mission, by offering improved means of preservation, as well as wider and easier accessibility. And it is interesting that what emerged from the discussion was that the problems connected both with the digitisation of pre-existing archives and with archives born digitally are mostly of a "traditional" archival nature, rather than specifically digital: they relate to copyright, ownership, access, permission, internal organisation, etc. Problems of a purely digital kind would relate more to issues of authenticity, as well as to such challenges as how to treat digital materials like emails and computer files. The workshop to be held in September 2014 at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library will be devoted specifically to digitisation.
The various themes discussed in the sessions over two days consistently informed the outlining of the network's plan for future action, which was one of the main goals of the meeting. In addition to determining the structures of the next workshops, the partners agreed to work together for the development of the Diasporic Collections Directory, and to establish contacts with other relevant organisations involved in the field. This will also serve to promote the network at events and conferences, in journals and on websites. Another item on the agenda for the future will be to sensitise authors to the importance of archives as being precisely the places where their literary manuscripts can be preserved and therefore become part of the world's cultural heritage. Moreover, it was emphasised how important it was to arrange concrete help for those countries experiencing difficulties in keeping and managing their archives, also by enlisting the cooperation of UNESCO.

Q: Can I compile a java file with a different name than the class? Is there any way to compile a java program without having the java file name with its base class name.
If so, please explain..

A: To answer the question take a look at this example:
Create a file Sample.java
class A
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      String str[] = {""};
      System.out.println("hi");
      B.main(str);
   }
}
class B
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
     System.out.println("hello");
   }
}

now you compile it as javac Sample.java and run as java A then output will be
hi
hello

or you run as java B then output will be  hello
Notice that none of the classes are marked public therefore giving them default access. Files without any public classes have no file naming restrictions.

A: Your Java file name should always reflect the public class defined within that file.  Otherwise, you will get a compiler error.  For example, test.java:
public class Foo {}

Trying to compile this gives:
[steven@scstop:~]% javac test.java
test.java:1: class Foo is public, should be declared in a file named Foo.java
public class Foo {
       ^
1 error

So you must have your filename match your public class name, which seems to render your question moot.  Either that or I don't understand what you're asking... spending some time explaining what you are actually trying to achieve would go a long way towards asking a more effective question :)

A: No, the public class name must match the file name. Inner, non public, class names may differ.

A: You must have a public class with the same name as the file name.  This is a Very Good Thing.  You CAN have secondary classes inside the same file as long as they are not public.  They can still be "default" though, so they can still be used by other classes in the same package.
This should not be done for the most part.  Java's naming patterns regarding classes and packages are one of the bigger advantages it has--makes a programmers life easier at no cost.

A: You can use the Java Compile API and compile any java source you wish, the source need not come from a file or could come from a file with an unrelated name.  It depends on how obtuse you want to develop your program. ;)

A: yes, we compile a java file with a different name than the class, provided that there should not be any public class in that file.
If there is any public class in file then in that case you have to give that name as file name. But if your class does not contain any public class then you can give any name to you class.
Please refer below example to make it more clear:
file name : sample.java
 class A
 {
   public static void main(String args[])
  {
    System.out.println("hi in Class A");
  }
 }
class B
{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
    System.out.println("hello in class B");
 }
}

then compile it with(windows) : javac sample.java
then run it : java A
output :  hi in Class A
then run it : java B
output :  hello in class B
Please check and confirm.

A: As long as you don't have a public class in your source file, you can name your source file to any name and can compile. But, if you have a public class in your source file, that file should have the name same as your class name. Otherwise, compiler will throw an error.
Example:
Filename: TestFileName.java
public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello,World\n");
    }
}

Compiling: javac TestFileName.java
Error:
TestFileName.java:1: class HelloWorld is public, should be declared in a file named HelloWorld.java
public class HelloWorld
       ^
1 error

A: It is not necessary to name your file same as the name of the class it has, until this class is public. Though it is a good practice to name the file same as the name of class.
The compiler will compile your file successfully and make a dot class file. Now at the run time you need to give class name to the JVM for that you have to keep the name of the class, which has main method, in your mind. If you keep both the file name and the class name same, it will become easy to remember the name of the  compiled dot class file.
for example:
file Dummy.java
class Dummy
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
    System.out.println("This is Dummy class running");
   }
}

to run the above code we will use :
 Javac Dummy.java // to compile
  Java Dummy   //to run

  example:
  file Dummy.java
class Diff
{
     public static void main(String args[])
     {
      System.out.println("This is Diff class running");
     }
}

to run the above code we will use :
Javac Dummy.java // to compile
Java Diff   //to run

A: I guess what he means is the .java file is named differently than the actual class defined inside it.
I guess this is not possible.

A: No. You could write a shell script to rename the .java file before compiling it, but javac requires that filenames = class names.
(Also in windows, it's case insensitive, so ASDF.java can compile Asdf.class)

A: yes, you can choose any name for the file (.java). there is no matter to what are the name of classes in that file means that class names may be totaly different from the file name.
you should compile the program with file name and you should run the program with the class name in which the main method exist.
main methods may be multiple in different classes so you should run it with the class name in which the main method you want to run......

A: we can save the file tootle different name of class name because in java we compile the program but we run the method.
we have to compile our program with file name and run our class name

A: Yes,it is possible to compile a java source file with different file name but you need to make sure none of the classes defined inside are public...when you compile the source file the corresponding .class files for the classes inside the source file are created.

A: Yes,you can save your java source code file with any other name, not same as your main class name but when you comiple it than byte code file name will be same as your main class name. So for your ease of not to memorize to many names for java code run, You need to have your file name same as your main class than only your file name and byte code file will be with same name.

A: If class is not public you can save it using other name like if classname is Simple then save it Hard.java.
complie->Hard.java
run->Simple.java
Save your java file by .java only.
compile javac .java
run java yourclassname
For example if my program main class name is A then
save by .java only
compile by javac .java
run by     java A

A: yes, we can compile a java file with a different name than the class, provided that there should not be any public class in that file.
If there is any public class in file then in that case you have to give that name as file name. But if your class does not contain any public class then you can give any name to you class.
Please refer below example to make it more clear:
file name : example.java
class A
 {
   public static void main(String args[])
  {
    System.out.println("You are in Class A");
  }
 }
class B
{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
    System.out.println("You are in class B");
 }
}

then compile it with : javac example.java
then run it : java A
output : you are in Class A

then run it : java B
output : you are in class B

Please check and confirm.

A: You can write more than one main methods in java because java provides main method overloading in which main method can also be overloaded . Once you compile the file here example.java
Compiler create .class file which contains main method when you run the file with java A it will run the A.class file whih contains the main method of class A and that output will be display on you screen ,but when you run this file with java B ,It runs the B.class file  which provides main method of B class
So your code is run successfully

A: According to the other answers the only viable solution is to somehow determine the classname from the source, then use it to rename the file to proper name and compile it as usual.

Another option is to alter the package and class name in the source to match file name:
sed -i -r "0,/package/s/^\s*package .*?;/package new.klass.pkg;/" %1
sed -i -r "0,/class/s/public\s+class .+?\{/public class NewClassName {/" %1

Via How to use sed to replace only the first occurrence in a file?

A: Yes. This can be done.
The main reason for the class and file name to be same are to make the job of the complier easy to check which class it needs to run, in the whole list of the Java classes.
So it's a good practice to have filename and class name as same.
And you have compile and run a class with different name other than the filename, If you don't have any public methods in this class.

A: By convention, the name of the main class should match the name of the file that holds the program. You should also make sure that the capitalization of the filename matches the class name.
The convention that filenames correspond to class names may seem arbitrary. However, this convention makes it easier to maintain and organize your programs. Furthermore, in some cases, it is required.

A: You can have your java file even without name ( simply ".java" ). Only thing is you should not have any public class in your file.

Titans step into the goal circle with expansion into netball
December 1, 2021 1:21 pm in Gold Coast, Sport by Shanee Dobeson
The Gold Coast Titans are shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with in 2022, and it turns out it won't just be on the Rugby League field.
After weeks of speculation, the Titans have today confirmed they're expanding their sporting footprint on the Coast and launching into the world of netball.
Titans CEO Steve Mitchell made the exciting announcement from the club's Parkwood headquarters on Wednesday, revealing they'll be entering a team into Netball Queensland's Sapphire Series competition next year.
"For us as a Club, it's about providing talented kids on the Gold Coast a pathway to elite competition that allows them to stay locally on the Coast," Mr Mitchell said.
"You've seen this in our NRL program with young players like AJ Brimson and Moeaki Fotuaika progressing from our Junior Titans System all the way to State of Origin.
"Our NRLW side is stacked with local girls who want to make their community proud and represent the region where they grew up.
"We are thrilled that we can now offer that pathway to the thousands of young netballers that play the sport on the Coast."
Former World Cup and Commonwealth Games winning Silver Fern Temepara Bailey, who is also the mother of Titans hooker Erin Clark, will coach the Titans inaugural side.
"Our purpose as a Club is to make our communities proud, inspire them through energy and unite them through success," Mr Mitchell told reporters.
"With Temepara guiding our netball high-performance program and pathways, we've got no doubt that we can achieve that purpose.
"Temepara is one of the true greats of the sport, but aside from being a quality netballer, she is also a fantastic person who demonstrates our Club values."

If successful, Mr Mitchell said the club's next goal would be to join the Suncorp Super Netball competition.
"We aspire to eventually add a Titans team to the Suncorp Super Netball competition," he said.
"Our brand would then sit across three elite competitions including SSN, NRL and NRLW and provide pathways from grassroots to the professional level across these sports".
The club's expansion into netball, set to rival the Melbourne Storm's partnership with Sunshine Coast Lightning, has been welcomed by Netball Queensland High Performance Director Demelza Fellowes.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be welcoming the Titans into the HART Sapphire Series," Fellowes said.
"Their commitment to netball ensures the next wave of unearthed gems can access world class high performance environment on the Gold Coast, this can only mean good things for netball and women's sport in Queensland.
"We're looking forward to seeing how the influence of the professional NRL club can lead the way and change the game for this next growth phase for the HART Sapphire Series."

"Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?"
For years I had wanted to go see the Maine Solar System Model.
Built with diligent skill on a tight budget by the Northern Maine Museum of Science, the whole thing runs for 40 miles along US Route 1 between Houlton and the University of Maine at Presque Isle where the Museum is located.
The model is roughly 8 hours away from me by car, placing it squarely in the category of things-not-worth-driving-to-see- unless-I'm-in-the-area. But this year my lady Jennifer and I took a road trip to Nova Scotia and knew we would have to see the model on the way back. We had taken our telescope up to Cape Breton in hopes of doing some stargazing in that dark northern territory, but a relentless veil of cloud cover dashed those hopes. We needed some consolation to fill the void, as it were.
About a mile over the border from New Brunswick we found the Maine Welcome Center, where there was info on the model, as well as Pluto and Charon. These two bodies reside in an unassuming wooden frame in the hallway between the Visitor Center and the Mens Room.
As the model is built to scale in both relative distance and size, Pluto (which I still consider a planet) is quite small.
It was getting late, so we grabbed a copy of the brochure about the model and struck north.
We learned quite quickly that the planets are not lit, and that their signage is a dark brown. Beside that, the mileage given on the brochure about the model seemed a bit off. Or perhaps my odometer was. We found Neptune in the fading light, saw no hint of Uranus, and got as far as Saturn before full night fell. The ringed planet was clearly visible in the dark, but almost impossible to photograph.
I decided to give up. Even if we had made it to the museum, we had no guarantee that it would be open. The museum resides in the hallways of the university itself and there was no way to know if there were night classes or not.
I resigned myself to skipping the model altogether. We had other things to do in Maine over the next few days, and I wanted to get some miles behind us before we called it a night.
It was at this point, travelling south along Route 1 at a fair clip, that we nearly struck a moose sitting unseen by the side of the road.
We procured a hotel room in Houlton.
Conquering the Solar System was now a personal mission. I would stride the cosmos, the planets falling beneath my Reeboked feet.
The next morning we ate breakfast and began in earnest.
The first world we encountered was another Pluto. Situated on the edge of an expansive farm, this one had been erected to mark the average point of its orbit, while the one 7 miles behind us at the Visitor Center signified its apogee. Dark thoughts of re-labeling one of them as Yuggoth flashed in my head.
It should be noted that at this scale one mile equals one AU, and the speed of light is 7 MPH. A brisk walk becomes relativistic, incurring sizable time dialation. Even the lowest speed limit is several magnitudes into the transluminal. It is also staggering to realize that Alpha Centauri would be about as far as the moon.
Less than a mile from the second Pluto, the bright blue sphere of Neptune was clearly visible in the distance. It sits at the edge of the woods eight miles into the journey.
The gap between Neptune and Uranus is the largest in the model at just under 12 miles, approaching a third of the model's total length. There is nothing between these two worlds except produce stands and the occasional church. The vast emptiness could drive a man to madness.
Uranus occupies the parking lot of a Grange Hall.
The brochure says that the moons of Uranus and Neptune are far too small at this scale to be rendered.
Before we started that morning I had wrestled with the most important question regarding this tour: what music to listen to.
It's roughy 80-90 minutes round-trip, not counting stopping for photos. An obvious choice would have been Holst's The Planets, but that probably would have made for poor driving music.
As a hopeless prog fan I considered Ayreon's Flight of the Migrator or a compilation of stuff like Interstellar Overdrive and Space Oddity. Anything by Ozric Tentacles would have been suitable.
As it was I went with a Rush mix disk dominated by Cygnus X1 and Hemispheres, with a selection of Porcupine Tree songs for the trip back.
The first world with a moon included was Saturn, standing on a gravel apron by the side of the road with Titan.
I noticed that the planet was in less-than-pristine condition. The metal mesh that comprises the rings is a tad rusty, and there are a few small dents visible. An unfitting fate for the system's most eye-popping inhabitant.
Titan's presence made me happy. This little moon is probably second to Mars in the number of stories it has inspired.
The SF geek in me also got a kick out of the fact that Saturn sits in Mars Hill, setting of my favorite story by Elizabeth Hand.
Jupiter is a striking image. Visible from half a mile away, it dominates a small grassy field, the cyclopian red spot gazing out over the road.
It should be mentioned that each of these planets was hand-painted.
The Ganymean moons of Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede stand in a row beside it. I started visualizing the trajectories of the Discovery and Leonov from 2010, then realized it's already 2008 and this is the closest we've come to Jovian orbit.
I also thought about the gas giant's gravitational influence, given the distances involved, and wished such a phenomenon could be conveyed in the model. We had visited the Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick, an illusion where your car appears to roll uphill in neutral. Such a gimmick would be fitting for Jupiter.
Onward we went. I fancied my trusty red Chevy joining the ranks of Rama, Thistledown, the Whale Probe, and other artifacts cruising through the solar system.
I also imagined how much my ten-year-old self would have enjoyed this, sitting in the back seat with a bevy of Major Matt Mason, Zeroids, and Outer Space Men toys.
According to the brochure there is a model of Ceres to represent the asteroid belt, but we could not find it and suspect it has not been erected yet. However, the space between Jupiter and Mars is populated by a number of potato stands. Given the shape and sheer number of the spuds, I found that to be a far better representation.
Journeying deeper into the inner system, the planets lay far closer together. Mars stands sentinel to the border of Presque Isle itself. The world where J'onn J'onzz was born, John Carter wooed Dejah Thoris, and Doctor Manhattan went soul-searching, is a fist-sized orb nearly eclipsed by greetings from the Elks Lodge and Knights of Columbus.
In our current politically sensitive climate some might find it offensive that this model gives recognition to a world that has repeatedly attacked and invaded the Earth, but omitting it would be an insult to the brave men and women who defended us.
The Earth and Moon are a mere quarter-mile away, near a copse of trees. Leaves fell around them unhindered by Lagrange points.
And somewhere near the northeast edge of the North American continent painted on the surface, I imagined an atomic-scale race erecting a model of the planets, hoping that a fleck of gravel flung from the road would not bring about an extinction event.
It was about here in the journey that I formed the theory that local teenagers must have some ritual about copulating beneath each planet, some kind of "nine planets" club. I was also struck by the lack of vandalism. No world was defaced, but I wondered if somewhere a cadre of Velikovsky-devotees were planning to abscond with Venus.
It wouldn't be too hard. The softball-sized Venus hangs beside the Budget Travelers Motor Inn in the corner of the parking lot.
My train of thought continued. Did astrology buffs find this static syzygy of planets a mockery of their beliefs? The model did not convey the cryptic influences of the heavens. This Venus would never go retrograde at crucial junctures in one's life. There would be no transits, conjunctions, or occultations to auger the future. If astrology believers were as vocal as some groups in this country, they would demand that the aspects of human personalities influenced by each planet be listed along with their mass, orbital velocities, and distance from the Sun.
Mercury looms above a small garden near a car dealership across the street from the university.
Like Icarus, we were coming in close to the Sun. In the Star Trek universe we could accelerate towards it and slingshot ourselves into the past, but being in this rustic territory gave us that feeling already.
The Sun itself is unfortunately not a massive yellow sphere, but is instead represented by an arched painted beam that reaches three stories tall.
I was disappointed by one thing: The website for the Museum features a map indicating that yet another model of the solar system adorns the wall of a hallway there. I found Neptune, and a plaque where Pluto had once been, but the rest of the hall was empty. It would have been nice to see the planets arranged along 40 feet after seeing them over 40 miles.
Still, there I was, standing within the Sun, the realm of Apollo and Ra, where the toroids dwell and Superman of the 853rd century lives.
I was that damned baby from Teletubbies.
The brochure states that a replica of Eris is planned an additional 30 miles past Pluto. I began mentally expanding the model to include Sedna, the Kuiper belt and Oort cloud, then pondered how to represent the heliopause and termination shock.
There could also be apocryphal additions such as Nemesis, Planet X, Counter-Earth (farther north, of course) and the Ptolemiac spheres.
As with all constructions of man, one day this magnificent model will be dismantled. That would be a better fate than having it co-opted by deluded religious zealots. We can only hope its raw materials will be used to construct a scale model of a Dyson Sphere, Ringworld, or Matrioshka Brain. We cannot rule out the possibility that Northern Maine will be the first place a Type II civilization takes hold.
Conquering the Solar System is difficult work. There's no convenient place to get coffee. The only available rest rooms are at the university itself, and these parts get cold and windy in early October. By the end of the trip I found myself resembling Landru, Exeter, Rotwang or some other manic science fiction character.
Perhaps that is fitting, since now that I've seen this model, I want to visit the one in Sweden which measures 110 miles across, and the even larger one in Jordell Bank. I am now possessed by a lust for solar systems.
I do not know if this is the first inkling of cosmic villainy, but I certainly feel a sense of moderate accomplishment, albeit one redeemable only in Geek Cred.


The fashion doesn't stop once all the celebrities leave the Met Gala. Nope – the guests at the most glamorous party of the year have a lot more partying to do once the Met Museum doors close, and more looks to serve, feeding our hunger for style. Scroll down to see what the stars rocked to fête on post-Met Gala.
Jennifer Lopez slipped out of her Elsa-esque Met Gala gown and went with a black patterned mini dress and colorful, patterned fur coat from Valentino which we're currently lusting over.
The singer served bedtime chic in a silky white PJ top with feathers at the wrists, Gucci shades, snakeskin belts and feathery Prada mules.
The thighs have it! Kendall Jenner stepped out in a slouchy athletic yellow top, and black mini skirt from Danielle Guizio, which had a lace-up side that put the model's upper thigh on display.
While John Legend stayed in his Met Ball red carpet attire, Chrissy traded her floofy gown for a sultry Saint Laurent LBD with sheer and mesh paneling.
Zendaya kept the disco hair, but changed into a floral Dolce & Gabbana suit to party with the best of 'em after the Met Gala.
The model chose another Alexander Wang look to party the night away; this beaded see-through dress that showed off her slim figure.
The singer was all about the sparkle in this Ulyana Sergeenko look which included a sequined hoodie, sequined bodysuit, sparkly tights, peeptoe sandals and undergarments on full display.
The model changed into a single sleeved black Monse dress with a fold-over silhouette and an asymmetric hem, which showed off the enormous belt on her over-the-knee boots.
Washington looked extra comfy in this sparkly black piece.
The actress looked positively adorable in this feather flourished Miu Miu mini dress.
The model changed out of her white Ralph Lauren dress, deciding on a more relaxed look by pairing this Off-White t-shirt with the red Balenciaga boots she wore to the Gala.
Pharrell's post-Met Gala look barely strayed from what he wore to the event, but Helen Lasichanh went with a navy blue shorts and a matching jacket, which she paired with a black top, black tights and sneakers.
Bosworth hit the afterparty in a yellow Emilio Pucci dress boasting a purple sequined panel.
Rita Ora hit the streets in a red minidress with a cutout at the shoulder and shiny contrasting panel. Red over-the-knee platform boots added to the go-go girl vibe she was giving off with this look.
Chopra lost the enormous train on her Ralph Lauren gown and headed to the afterparty in a mini trench silhouette.
Looks like Kate Hudson had a few wardrobe changes, turning out in a pink one-shoulder bodycon Stella McCartney dress with an ab-baring cutout. She also rocked a red fringed number from the designer, which went perfectly with her white topknot.
Jourdan Dunn played with volume in this denim ensemble.
Baldwin wore a black minidress with a pink foldover detail neckline and a pair of white kicks to stay comfy while partying.
Zoe Kravitz added a pop of color to her neutral-hued look with a pair of red crisscross strap sandals.
Straps and cutouts were the name of the game for Amber Valletta's post-Met Gala Alexander Wang look.
The young model looked back at in in a lacy jumpsuit from Tadashi Shoji.
Looks like Kate Hudson wasn't the only one who was feeling fringe for the evening. Olivia Culpo rocked a red mini dress with so many tassles, we bet she did a lot of twirling inside the afterparty.
Hill went for a grungier look in this all black ensemble.
Is there any dress that Adriana Lima DOESN'T look amazing in? This Nicolas Jebran piece was an absolute stunner on the model.


Lily stormed down the hallway towards the lunch room. She grabbed her lunch quickly and put it on the table. "I can't believe they want me to perform this crap!" she hissed, slamming the script on the table in front of her best friend, Elianna.
A shadow passed over the script. Elianna and Lily looked up.
A totally drool worthy guy stood over them. He was at least 6 feet tall and had longish black hair and greenish bluish eyes.
This is a really good start and I think you can take it in alot of good places. You inspired me.
