Apple TV+, 3:00 a.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: The entire Apple TV+ streaming service launches today. All the programming is brand new, but much of it, at the outset, is decidedly average. Of the initial offerings, the best is this new series from Battlestar Galactica reimaginer Ronald D. Moore. Once again, he's reimagining things. This time, in a drama starring Joel Kinnaman as a 1960s U.S. astronaut, For All Mankind presents an alternate world history in which the Soviets won the space race by landing on the moon a month before the U.S. planned mission of Apollo 11. How does that one difference in our historical timeline affect the future? That's what For All Mankind is all about… and so far, it's the best that Apple TV+ has to offer.

The #MeToo Movement is Still Impacting Workplace Culture
This article was first published by BRINK here.
The #MeToo movement has grown significantly since its inception five years ago, shining a spotlight on the widespread prevalence of sexual harassment and even violence in workplaces in several countries and leading to more frequent employment practices liability (EPL) claims.
In this episode of Risk in Context, Kelly Thoerig, Michelle Sequeira and Carrie Kurzon discuss the evolution of the #MeToo movement, how it led to cultural changes in workplaces, and how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the claims landscape.
On the need to revisit culture within organizations:
Organizations have this huge opportunity to be revisiting their organizational culture, and I would encourage firms to use a data-driven approach.
Michelle Sequeira
On the need to look for red flags possibly related to sexual harassment:
The absence of reported claims or media scrutiny, unfortunately, in this area does not mean that an organization is in the clear.
Kelly Thoerig
On sexual harassment in the work-from-home era:
Whilst we are seeing that claims had in the past been around office presence, now the reports are showing that 45% of women in England and Wales have said that they've been sexually harassed in an online virtual capacity, whether that is via Zoom, or Teams, or Slack, sexual calls, etc.

Q: How to return physical lock error without waiting in MySQL in my project using java, ibatic and MySql.
Before any updating data into database, i lock the table with  SELECT FOR UPDATE query
eg: SELECT * FROM MEM_MST WHERE MEM_ID = #memId# FOR UPDATE

It make locking the table properly. but the problem is, for example if two client are update the table in same time. first one is lock the table and update but second one is waiting to update until a lock is released. After then second one also update the data. So, first one updated data is overwrite. Please see the following explanation:
Time |  Client 1           | Client 2
-------------------------------------------------
1    | SELECT FOR UPDATE   |
2    | UPDATE              | SELECT FOR UPDATE (Waiting)
3    | COMMIT              | (Waiting)
4    |                     | UPDATE
5    | (Overwritten)       | COMMIT

So, Client 1 updated data is lost
What I want to be is want to simply return the error message to Client 2 instead of waiting until a lock is released.
Please advise me the way to solve above mentioned problem.

P.S:
I already set the lock wait timeout to 0 in startup Variables, but it still take about 2 second to tell "Lock wait timeout exceeded" message.
furthermore,SELECT FOR UPDATE NO WAIT is not working in MySQL

A: Unfortunately, innodb_lock_wait_timeout can't be set lower than 1.
You will have to implement your own synchronisation mechanism. As an alternative to eggyal's suggestion, you could add a "semaphore" field to your critical table. Basic workflow (pseudo-code):
START TRANSACTION;
SELECT locked FROM MEM_MST WHERE MEM_ID = @id FOR UPDATE;
if (previous_result == 1) {
    ROLLBACK;
    throw new Exception();
}
UPDATE MEM_MST SET locked = 1 WHERE MEM_ID = @id;
COMMIT; -- from now on, concurrent attempts will fail immediately

START TRANSACTION;
UPDATE MEM_MST SET whatever = @some_value WHERE MEM_ID = @id;
UPDATE MEM_MST SET locked = 0 WHERE MEM_ID = @id; -- release lock
COMMIT;

Dr. Dre just took a not-so-veiled shot at Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman amid the college admissions scam.
On Saturday, the music mogul proudly shared a photo revealing that his 18-year-old daughter, Truly Young, got admitted to the University of Southern California, while also poking fun at the dozens of parents who face litigation after allegedly paying to help their children get into some of the country's most prestigious schools.
"My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!" the rapper-turned-producer wrote in the caption of a photo of himself and his daughter proudly showing off her acceptance letter.
However, some took issue with the dig at the college admissions scandal -- Dre, real name: Andre Young, has also made a huge (legal) contribution to USC in recent years. He and Beats Electronics co-founder Jimmy Iovine donated a whopping $70 million to the prestigious school in 2013. The money was a gift intended to help build an academy -- the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation -- for undergraduate students whose interests span fields such as marketing, business entrepreneurship, computer science and engineering, audio and visual design, and the arts. The program's goal is to prepare them to become a new generation of inspired innovators.
Following a wave of criticism, Dre has deleted the post on Instagram.
Loughlin and Huffman are among 50 people who allegedly offered up large sums of money to get their kids into schools like Georgetown, Stanford, Wake Forest and Yale. In the Full House star's case, her daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella, ages 19 and 20, were designated as recruits for USC's crew team, although they never participated.
Earlier in March, when the investigation was announced, the Hallmark Channel cut ties with Loughlin. ET also learned that neither of the girls intended to return to USC following Spring Break after the scandal broke.
"Bella and Olivia are suffering in their own ways from the fallout of their parents' decisions," an insider told ET over a week after Loughlin and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, were arrested for alleged bribes totaling $500,000.
"Bella and Olivia have a very tight-knit group of friends who have been there to support them," the source said. "They've needed that support because they're being attacked at every turn."
The insider added that Olivia is "really angry with her parents because she told them she did not want to go to college and she was pushed." Meanwhile, the insider said Bella was more committed to her studies and would have liked to graduate from USC.

There's a comfort I feel in my heart, in my soul.
Though I can't see the end of that road or my goal.

Posted on July 29, 2014 | Comments Off on Trouble Sleeping?
Are you one of more than 50 million Americans who toss and turn while staring at the clock and wondering if you will ever get to sleep? Do you envy those who fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow and stay asleep until morning? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), insufficient sleep is now considered a public health epidemic, as more than a third of U.S. adults are chronically sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation is linked to motor vehicle crashes, industrial disasters and medical errors. Although many of us have experienced a short fuse or a reduced ability to function after a poor night's sleep, the long term health consequences of sleep insufficiency are greater than many of us realize.
People who experience sleep insufficiency are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, depression, heart disease and obesity, all of which can result in a shortened lifespan. Sleep is not only important for survival, it's essential for immune and nervous system functions and mental and physical performance. Many of us may think of a good night's sleep as a luxury, and not a necessity, even though sleep affects both our mental and our physical wellbeing.
Science shows that we all need varied amounts of uninterrupted sleep. In general terms school-aged children require 10 hours of sleep, teens 9 – 10 hours and adults 7- 8 hours. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), more than 30% of adults sleep less than 6 hours nightly, approximately an hour and a half less a night than we did a century ago. Sleep insufficiency may be a result of many factors, including work schedules, high stress and round- the-clock access to technology. Some sleep experts point to stress as the number one cause of occasional sleep difficulties. Actual sleep disorders such as insomnia or sleep apnea also play a role.
The body prepares itself for sleep at relatively the same time every night in conjunction with our internal clocks and the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine. Our body temperature drops as levels of melatonin, which help induce sleepiness, rise. Despite spending more than one third of our lives asleep, why we need to sleep still remains a mystery. We do know that while we sleep, the body is replenishing energy stores and repairing itself just as the brain is busy detoxifying, organizing memories, and releasing growth, reproductive and appetite regulating hormones. When we do get a full night's sleep, we wake up feeling refreshed and fully prepared to engage in school, work, home or social activities.
Keeping a regular sleep/wake schedule, regulating the temperature in the bedroom, minimizing noise and light, getting regular exercise and avoiding large meals, alcohol and smoking late at night, can all help to combat common sleep problems.
Kavinace® by NeuroScience promotes natural sleep and reduces the symptoms of insomnia and anxiety by supporting healthy levels of GABA. GABA is a neurotransmitter that calms excited nerve impulses and helps control overactive neurons that can cause anxiety.

Perceptions of the organ donation experience vary between relatives who decide to donate their relative's organs and those who do not.
HealthDay News — Perceptions of the organ donation experience vary between relatives who decide to donate their relative's organs and those who do not, but the decision does not appear to be associated with subsequent grief symptoms, according to a study published online March 19 in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Nancy Kentish-Barnes, Ph.D., from the Saint-Louis University Hospital in Paris, and colleagues assessed the organ donation process and grief symptoms in relatives of 202 brain dead patients who discussed organ donation in 28 French intensive care units. Relatives were surveyed at one, three, and nine months.
The researchers found that 44 of the relatives refused organ donation. Participation in follow-up interviews were 78 percent at 1 month, 68 percent at 3 months, and 58 percent at 9 months. While relatives of non-donors were more dissatisfied with communication (P = 0.021), more often shocked by the request (P < 0.0001), and more often found the decision difficult (P = 0.017), there were no significant differences in grief symptoms between the two groups at three- and nine-month follow-up. For relatives who did not understand the brain death process, the prevalence of complicated grief symptoms was higher, compared to those who did understand (P = 0.026).

Laurie Sparham, Untitled, 1989
8 May – 9 June
Conceptualised and curated by UCT academic Dr Siona O'Connell, Director of the Centre for Curating the Archive at the University of Cape Town (UCT
The years 1989 – 1991 marked a world in transition: the fall of the Berlin Wall as a visual marker of the demise of the Cold War and the fall of apartheid through the release of political prisoners, the return of exiles and the negotiations process. Much like those years, the past two years in South Africa has signaled a shift, one that has been brought to the fore by student-lead protests around the slow pace of transformation to the recent Constitutional Court ruling of the Nkandla saga.
These photographs of the ANC in exile in Tanzania and Zambia in 1989-1990, taken by award-winning reportage photographer, Laurie Sparham, offer a chance to consider the sacrifices of the past, the promise of freedom then and a landscape of lies in which we are all complicit. The images compel us to think about links, traces and the contemporary South African moment that seems to be marked by crisis and failure. As such, it is a crucial prism through which we must think about how we want to live, our own accountability and, especially, what questions we want to put to history in order to live up to the still to be realise promise of freedom that was made in 1994.
Dr Siona O'Connell: Curator
24 July – 8 August. FADA Gallery Ground Floor.
Helen De Leeuw retrospective. Curated by Juliette Leeb-du Toit (VIAD Research Associate)
In the proposed Helen de Leeuw legacy exhibition, tribute is being paid to a phenomenal woman entrepreneur, ceramicist and writer, Helen de Leeuw, who in the 1950s began a lifelong challenge to the South African market to rid itself of erstwhile preferences (both anglophile and American) for mass-produced, inferior products that had begun to overwhelm commercial production and suppress emergent and indigenous craft traditions.
Few urban South Africans who lived through the period 1953 to c1988 will fail to recall the impact of the Helen de Leeuw phenomenon. Writing in 1965, Isabelle du Toit noted that Helen de Leeuw's name was synonymous with 'good, modern and imaginative taste' and design in all its aspects – in textiles, craftwork, architecture, furniture, interior design, jewellery and ceramics. De Leeuw's stores in effect functioned as galleries of contemporary international and national design.
24 July - 8 August FADA Gallery Lower Ground.
Ernst De Jong Retrospective. Curated by Lize Groenewald-details to follow.
16 August – 8 September
Emerging fashion creatives

September (dates to be announced) FADA Atrium.
Transparency: Art & design competition
The Embassy of Sweden in association with the FADA Gallery invites entries for a national art and design competition with the theme 'Transparency'. Transparency is the key to developing and maintaining trust. It lies at the heart of the scientific method, the freedom of the arts, and is crucial to allow for a healthy business climate. Creating spaces of openness and accountability is critical for a stronger society and can guide us to see things clearer.
To encourage a dialogue about the significance of transparency, we call upon artists, designers, and other creatives to develop concepts and ideas and apply their creative skills in expressing the competition theme transparency.
The VIAD team in collaboration with Dr. Erin Haney & Shravan Vidvarthi will host the photographic exhibition of works by the pioneering Kenyan photojournalist Priya Ramrakha (1935 – 1968).
Ramrakha was one of the first widely travelled African photographers to cover the continent's independence movements in the fifties and sixties. His singular archive, recently recovered in private hands, is straight and unsentimental. Ramrakha's humanist lens recorded the political struggles that persisted across decolonial Africa its expansive ties, to India, South Africa, and African America.
From Kenya's grassroots to Tom Mboya and Kenyatta, to the consequences of Biafra's terrible war, Ramrakha's kaleidoscopic photography reveals the complex and multi-racial roots of rarely-seen African image histories and stories.
Two consecutive exhibitions featuring the work of final year Visual Art Students.

Ribbed beauty
The basic shape of car headlights hasn't changed much for decades and is only now experiencing a design renaissance through the use of LEDs. The rear lights, however, have always been a place for designers to run riot. Between the 50s and today there have been many upward and downward trends in terms of size, shape and function. The Osram carlight blog has embarked on a journey to show you old, new and long forgotten shapes. After all, a beautiful rear can also endear. The rear of a car and its rear lights are at least as distinctive as its front. And the ribbed rear lights from Mercedes have shaped whole generations of streetscapes.
Automobiles polarize like no other everyday object. As is often the case, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the experiences of drivers collide when it comes to actual use. In the generation of rear lights that Mercedes-Benz introduced in all its vehicles in the early 70s, at least one thing is easy to recognize: they're heavily contoured, ribbed, corrugated – no-one seems to know what to call it really. The S-Class of the W 116 series led the way once again in 1972, with other models following suit. Big rear lights that weren't smooth but consisted of horizontal rows of ribs. In the brochures they were introduced as a new safety detail, since they weren't expected to get dirty as much as the smooth version. And when they did, they would still have a better light output. Sounds great, doesn't it?
Fans of the more or less distinct shape which has been around for decades agree on one thing in particular, namely that it was a successful and distinctive design. The ribbed plastic covers were continued into the 2000s, and they are still used as a design element in sedans today. Opinions differ, however, when it comes to the part about less dirt and the light output. In contrast to the predecessor with its smooth rear lights (especially in the "Stroke 8", in other words the W 114 and W 115 series, the optical change was a difficult one during the major 1973 redesign) dirty lights could no longer be cleaned with a single wipe; instead, you had to poke around in between the ribs. Or giving it a steam clean took a bit longer. Dirt particles got stuck on permanently if you neglected to clean the lights regularly. Who remembers the 200 diesel workhorses, where the left rear light above the exhaust was always pitch black and dull?
Designers at that time such as Paul Bracq worked together with the engineers. Good ideas were consistently implemented and dominated the overall image of the vehicles. The grooves in the smaller rear lights of the T models were generally less contoured. The ribs were kept until the W/S 210 series; later on there was merely a hint of them left which no longer had any effect – if there ever was one in the first place. But no matter whether they had any benefit like dirt-free side windows, the grooves in the rear lights were a wonderful stylistic device which gave the star fleet a distinct face in the 70s and 80s. And you could replace the lamps in no time. What a beautiful new world we live in.

So long as the lights are working …
More light for work, field and rough terrain
A bit more? Off-road and highway driving place different requirements on headlights. And drivers of farm vehicles, for example, also have special needs. This is where the LEDriving auxiliary headlamps from Osram come in.
Do we actually still need high beam headlights?
Every car has high beam headlights. Some drivers never use them, others solely before overtaking. In Central Europe, high beams are truly used in only three percent of nighttime journeys. Could we really do without them?
Why headlights can become suddenly misaligned
Oncoming drivers flashing their lights at you. A poorly-lit road ahead. Both incidences can point to misaligned headlights. But the lights were fine beforehand and nothing has changed. How can this occur so suddenly?

Imagine cycling through Provence on your road bike, well on this road bike based cycling holiday you can do just that. On this bike vacation, you can enjoy the beauty of Provence from the saddle. Discover the countryside and enjoy the colours and lights which have attracted many famous painters. Admire the Roman influence in the area, the theatre in Orange with its magnificent theatre wall, the Pont-du-Gard, the excavation sites in Vaison-la-Romain and the medieval village of Les Baux-de-Provence. Not forgetting the culinary delights of the region, wines, cheeses and a cuisine seasoned with herbs of Provence.
On this cycle tour, every day you can choose between two trips, approximately 75km or 115km. There are two nights stay in both Vaison-la-Romaine and Apt. This saves you packing the suitcases and allows to get to know more about the towns and its environment.
Orange is regarded as the gateway to Provence. Celts lived here before the Romans invaded and settled for almost 300 years. For the Romans 'Arausio' which was the old name of Orange, was one of the most important towns in the Provincia Gallia Narbonensis. Of the numerous Roman buildings and monuments originally built, you still can see parts of the City Wall, the Arc de Triumph and the Theatre, the stage wall of which the Sun King, Louis XIV, described as the most beautiful wall in his country.
From Orange to Vaison-la-Romaine the route is predominantly flat. This stage will take you through some of the best vineyards in Provence, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vacqueyras, Gigondas, Rasteau and Séguret, just the names of which make the hearts of the wine lovers flutter. On the way to Vaison-la-Romaine you will pass the impressive range of the Dentelles de Montmirail.
Vaison-la-Romaine is a city with a rich Roman heritage. One-fifth of the Roman town, then called Vasio, has so far been excavated. You can see remains of houses of the wealthy Roman citizen, an ancient water canalisation system, the columned hall of Pompeius, a 2000-year-old bridge and an old theatre. Vaison-la-Romaine also has a beautiful medieval quarter and some magnificent buildings dating from the 16th to the 18th Century.
Day 3 – Monday – Vaison- Mt. Ventoux – Vaison (about 75km / up 2198m to 110km / up 2590m).
Today we have to face the giant of Provence – the Mont Ventoux. The 1909m high mountain rises abruptly from the countryside. In totally deforesting the mountain the Romans left the Mt. Ventoux with its characteristic bald appearance. Wind speeds of up to 250 km/h have been measured at the summit. The first road over the mountain was built in 1882.
Day 4 – Tuesday – Vaison-la-Romaine – Apt (about 90km / up 1391m or 110km / up 2084m).
Today you cycle on quiet roads to the city of the candied fruits – Apt. Crossing through the Montagnes de Bluye and d'Albion we reach the centre of lavender cultivation, the village of Sault. Then crossing the Plateau d'Albion we will cycle downhill to Apt, nestled in the valley of Calavon. Apt, situated on the river Calavon, is surrounded by numerous fruit trees. Here, since the 14th-century fruits were picked, blanched and glazed ( the preparation method for candied fruits). The results can be admired in numerous displays of the many pastry shops and of course sampled. Like most towns in Provence, Apt was also a settlement of the Celt-Ligures followed by the Romans. But in Apt, unlike other towns, the ruins are invisible – buried four to ten meters below the town.
Day 5 – Wednesday – Apt – Luberon – Apt (about 80km / up 1188m or 105km / up 1469m).
The route today takes you into the Parc du Luberon and through some of the most beautiful villages in France. From Apt you cycle on a flat stretch to Céreste before crossing the Luberon for the first time. On the south side of the Luberon, you pass typical small Provencal villages all with their preserved charm. On your way back you pass through the gorge of Lourmarin with its high white rock walls.
The day starts with a climb to Bonnieux followed by a 10km downhill run. On the other side of the Luberon you continue towards the river Durance. Through the flat valley of the Durance, you cycle in the direction of the Alpilles, a small but charming mountain range between the Rhône and the Durance. The Alpilles (the small Alps), is fascinating because of its rock formation. About 300,000 olive trees grow in this area, from which one of the best olive oils in France is produced.
The old town of St. Remy, with its many squares and cafes, is an ideal place for strolling around and enjoying the provençal life. Here you find the whole myth of Provence in one place. Two famous people are closely connected with St. Rémy: Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was born here in 1503 and in 1889/90 Vincent van Gogh was treated here in the 'madhouse' after cutting off his ear.
First, you cycle to the idyllically located Abbey St.-Michel-de-Frigolet, nestled in a low range of hills. Then you leave the Provence crossing the Rhone, and continue to Remoulins, where a trip to the famous Pont du Gard is an absolute must. Crossing the foothills of the Cévennes you cycle back to the Rhône and pass through the wine growing regions of Tavel and Lirac.
NOTE: Mont Ventoux is normally closed up until 1st May (varies according to snow). If it is closed we cycle around Mont Ventoux (and up to Le Chateau Reynard).
You will cycle on mostly well paved roads avoiding busy roads where possible. Heavier traffic is of course unavoidable at larger towns. Provence is a hilly region so a good level of fitness is required.
Plane: Avignon or Paris, Marseille, Nice airports and by train.

The new build of two buildings up to 9 storeys to provide 56 x residential units with landscaped amenity space, cycle parking. 16 of the units will be affordable and intermediate, the remaining 40 units will be subject to private sale.
Caroline Street is located in Limehouse, East London in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Already an established residential area, Limehouse has been steadily growing in desirability due to the short commute for professional workers and the level of regeneration in the local area.
CP London has been developing property in London for over fifteen years, initially focusing on converting and updating period buildings, whilst preserving their original features. In 2012 they moved in to developing new build schemes, recently completing over 30 units in Brixton, Clapham, Vauxhall, Balham and Clerkenwell.

The likelihood of a nuclear or radiological incident is remote because of the stringent controls in place for the movement and use of radioactive materials. All levels of government and the operators of nuclear facilities have emergency plans that are ready to be implemented at a moment's notice.
A nuclear emergency could be declared if there is an accident or an intentional release (or threat of intentional release) of potentially harmful radioactive materials. In either situation, exposure to radiation can cause health risks.
Officials will quickly determine the degree of risk from radiation and take immediate measures to limit the dangers. Depending on the incident and health risks, you could be visited by emergency services personnel who would advise you about what to do.
In chemical, biological or nuclear emergencies, it is important to listen to officials for possible evacuation instructions.
During a nuclear emergency, you may be told to minimize the amount of outside air entering your home. If so, immediately close doors and windows, then turn off air exchangers and heat-recovery units. Find your emergency kit, turn off appliances and stay indoors until advised otherwise (See Shelter-in-place).
If you were outside around the time of a nuclear emergency, remove your clothes as soon as possible and seal them in a plastic bag. Rinse your hair and body in the shower and then put on clean clothes from a closed drawer or closet.


Jayma Cardoso, the New York nightlife fixture behind Montauk mainstay The Surf Lodge, is well versed in the comings and goings of the East Hampton hamlet.
"[Montauk] reminded me of home," the Brazilian born Cardoso told GRAZIA. When she first started visiting the fishing village almost two decades ago "the beaches were empty, there was so much nature, it was raw and it was a real beach town. So, I guess, mainly it felt a little bit like home." Today, Montauk is no longer the unassuming respite from Manhattan life it once was.
In place of mom-and-pop diners, motels and lobster shacks are thriving cultural meccas like The Surf Lodge which is as much a lifestyle brand as a boutique hotel, gallery, shop, restaurant, live music venue, bar and wellness centre. A dynamic culinary scene has blossomed to meet demand, as has a proliferation of boutiques, bars and accommodation options to rival the area's abundant beaches and parklands. In anticipation of the hotel's second residency at The Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel come New Year's Day, Cardoso shares with GRAZIA her recommendations for a visit to Montauk once it's relinquished from the throes of the off-season come Memorial Day, 2017.
I love The Crows Nest. It's on Lake Montauk but the atmosphere is super quiet and chill. They also have an amazing restaurant. I also like all the old style motels. They're basic, but there is a character and history there. My favourite one in called Atlantic Terrace – it is simple and the rooms are dated but I love how old school it is and it's in front of a great surf break, which is always a plus.
"For lunch, Duryea's, the setting is beautiful. I love the lobster clam bake there and it is perfect for sharing with friends. Another nice lunch spot is Navy Beach, they have a great Moqueca dish, (it's a Brazilian fish stew cooked in a clay pot) and reminds me of home. For great Mexican, I travel 15 minutes outside of Montauk to Amagansett for a place called La Fondita. It's worth the drive to get the wedding cookies.
For brunch, the best place is The Surf Lodge, not because it is mine, but because our chef, Chris Rendell, is Australian and he just knows how to make an amazing brunch! The setting on the water is serene. I would order the 'Breakie'. Also, you always get to hear amazing bands do their sound check, which is a very cool and intimate experience.
In addition, our music curator Oli Benz keeps the vibe very chill and beachy! Sasha Benz, our creative director, is always there with her baby Rythm so she always encourages other moms to come and chill, listen to great music, catch up and eat a super yummy brunch.
For dinner my favourite place is called Dave's Gone Fishing. It's a husband and wife team, a small and very intimate restaurant. Start with the tuna spread followed by their tuna bits. For your main, order the cioppino [fish stew], also he makes amazing BBQ Ribs! I also love to order the mazza platter and chicken kabob at the Crows Nest.
Beach, beach and more beach. There are so many great beaches. I think people forget we are blessed with a Bay Side along with the Atlantic. Early in the season the water is warmer on the Bay Side, so check out Colloden Point. There are so many nature hikes to go on, but the Edward Vincent Ecker County Park is an amazing hike and has great views of Fort Pond Bay.
Get a beach basket and stop by Joni's and loading up on tasty snacks for the beach. Stay on the beach as long as you can, possibly come back to The Surf Lodge and take a nap on the hammock outside on your deck overlooking Fort Pond. I'd grab one of the hotel's bikes and ride into town and get an ice cream at The Gig Shack.
Ride back to the hotel and you can pretend you burned all the calories from your double scoop.
Melet Mercantile is incredible shopping experience. A virtual treasure chest and historic archive of womens and mens vintage clothing. Bob Melet, the owner, travels all over the world to find unique pieces. A lot of famous fashion designers like Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs buy his goods for inspirations. You can also find cool vintage books, art, old photography. Also, The Surf Bazaar located in The Surf Lodge lobby has amazing one of a kind beach dresses – definitely the place to load up on beach chic!

Zenko 9 notes, Solstice scale B3 C#4 D4 F#4 G4 Bb4 B4 D5 F#5, support ring, deluxe bag and pair of sticks included. Stainless steel. AVAILABILITY 4 TO 15 DAYS.
Zenko is a tongue drum (also called tank drum or hank drum) designed and created by Metal Sounds. This metal-made melodic percussion is the result of a long research & development program leaded by the Metal Sounds' team, in collaboration with scientists and experts of the metal industry. All has been studied: the raw-material (stainless steel), the blades cutting, the assembling, the finish... And the result is up to it!
The Zenko spreads its sounds like smooth and soft waves. Its high harmonics content comes from a perfect tuning that is also reliable along the years. It will produce some differents sounds depending on the kind of play: by hands or with the sticks (included).
The Solstice scale is based upon an G open tune chord (D G B D) and can be played in a major or minor mode (with the Bb). The B3 note in the center gives a medium/low bass that is used as a pivot. The sharp and flat notes that are around this basic chord gives this model all its richness. For musicians of all level.
The Zenko can also be played in a standing position, on a collapsable and adjustable stand specifically designed for it. An essential accessory to increase your mobility with your Zenko.

Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. Man is the supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates unregenerate man from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2.
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with God is eternal life. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; John 2:25; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; 1 John 5:11-12; Matthew 25:31-46.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal, co-existent and co-eternal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on the Cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
John 12:45; Matthew 1: 22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3 Acts 1: 9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13.
Salvation is a free gift of God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement of good works – only by trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can man be saved from the penalty of sin. Eternal life begins the moment on receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6 Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1.
Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in salvation (justification) for eternity. Salvation (sanctification) is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.
John 10:28, 29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5.
The Holy Spirit is co-equal, co-existent and co-eternal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1.
The Bible is God's word to all men. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian belief and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5.
Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is you public declaration that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Baptism does not save you, but shows the world that you have already been saved. And while baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ.
Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2:8, 9; Matthew 28:19-20.
Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19, 20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29.

A recent tweet by Alan Cross concerning a Ministry/Labatt Maxium advert from 1993 reminded me (in backhanded fashion) of what I believe to my introduction to the Smiths.
"How Soon is Now" was the song and no doubt, it left a mark. This was due in large part to Johnny Marr's distinctively-wobbly guitar chord that basically oscillated into eternity and sounded like nothing else in popular music. Truly unforgettable.
Strangely, the song is a total island in the Smiths' discography soundwise. It's not jangly. It's not snarky or glib. It is bleak. It's confused. It's a little bit scary. It drones in all the right ways. The video is kinda sorta perfect and in short, it's a delight and a total classic in many respects.
Anyway: Ministry, Labatt Maxium, the Smiths… what's the connection?
So yeah, much like the bizarre three-way dance Ministry "NWO", Labatt Maximum and Michael Ironside, the brew crew pulled this same trick a few years earlier with our favourite troupe of Manchester mopes soundtracking.
Again, "How Soon is Now" was the song, Labatt Ice Beer was the beverage and the face was the late Alexander Godunov, the heel toe head from the original Die Hard movie.
The combination seems even more unusual in 2013 than it must've in 1990.
Perhaps there was a fan of Club 102 working in the Labatt marketing department during this era. Choosing tracks by Ministry and the Smiths (and the Cult) would seem to indicate as much. Whatever the case, I'm 95 per cent sure that seeing this TV commercial was the first time I had ever consciously heard the Smiths' music. It was resonant even though I was neither a beer drinker (I was but a wee tween, after all) nor an Alexander Godunov completest. Unrelated, a Google image search of A-God shows that he had a ton of range in terms of acting, dancing and other sexy exploits and he resembled a young version of former WWE Heavyweight champion Triple H.
This commercial is ridiculous on a few levels.
Firstly, what kind of building is this? It's either the world's most unpopular lakeside lounge or (more likely) somewhere at Ontario Place. A-God is carrying around a crystal, which is I guess pretty cool. But the glass this establish (and I use this term loosely) provides doesn't seem appropriate for beer consumption. A nice frosted tumbler would have been a better fit.
By the time A-God snarls, "Eeetz not ayes beeeeer" to close things out, the viewer is left with nothing but the pasty aftertaste of cliché futuristic "visions" and bad hair. Come to think of it, all three of the commercials mentioned basically took place in dark, seemingly post-apocalyptic environments. All the more reason to drink fortified beer, I suppose.
Whatever. The upshot is a variation of this product (Labatt Maximum Ice) has endured and "it does the job" if you catch my drift. Last I checked, the fantastic Imperial Library pub in downtown Toronto was still serving it in the hefty 1,183 ml. size. In general, ice beer was kind of a gimmick but I'm going to assume (hope?) it also introduced a few other Canadians to the suptuous wonders of the Smiths.
A pair of other Morrissey/Smiths' video oddities…
Soho and their 1990 club smash "Hippychick" anyone? I could totally have my dates wrong as THIS may have been my first exposure to the Smiths. The whack Smiths/Soul II Soul mash-up (as played by members of Bow Wow Wow and the Bluetones) sounds like a terrible idea but this song is actually fairly decent and the video is a really fun time capsule of the era. This track was definitely not cool enough to be aesthetically lumped with the whole Stone Roses/Madchester thing but it was also just weird enough that it can't justifiably be discarded to the Eurotrash compost pile (which is full of mulch and disintegrated Whigfield CDs BTW). From what I recall, this was actually a decent-sized hit in North America and was a cousin of sorts to the stuff the Timelords/KLF were doing.
One of those things I thought I imagined but apparently not. PBS seems like an odd spot for a Morrissey parody but whatever. There's a strong message about velocity or something burried in the lyrics.

Bold statement: Now more than ever, music lovers can own and access a wide range of music, cool or otherwise, without much impact on their beloved street cred. No more "guilty pleasures". Just "pleasures".
Two early 2000s innovations forever changed the type(s) of music that hipsters and other insects would admit to owning and/or enjoying.
The first innovation was the mash-up. A modern take on the decidedly non-modern efforts of Steinski, Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers, M|A|R|R|S and the Timelords/JAMMs/KLF, the mash-up soon became a staple of tinny MP3s and trying-to-hard dance parties across the land.
The Strokes/Xtina purée "A Stroke of Genius" set the stage and things had 'gotten got' by the time Girl Talk showed up. Big picture, the mash-up was an indirect way for hipsters to admit their acceptance (ne: love) of Top 40 and gave us some tremendous efforts such as the still-holds-up goodness of…
The second innovation was the iPod. No need to recap its impact but a notable piece of fallout: you could no longer conceal the dirty little secrets of your music collection within your BENNO. Liberating to no end, the iPod forced music fans to drop the pretense and own what they…. well, own.
Short version: should you REALLY be ashamed of owning any piece of music? If your friends are going to judge you… Well, maybe those aren't real friends.
The following is my effort at ownership and the big reveal of my "Theme from CompletelyIgnored.com" and "Theme from CompletelyIgnored.com 2.0" iPod playlists.
These songs are drawn from the 15,000+ songs that live in my 80GB iPod classic.
Theme from CompletelyIgnored.com: 25 songs that, in theory, I should never admit to owning. Rather than, y'know, publishing them on a WordPress blog.
Theme from CompletelyIgnored 2.0.com: 25 songs that I should be name dropping with regularity. With a heavy debt paid in full to this book.
Combined, this is the musical equivalent of buying carbon credits to juke my footprint of perceived lameness.
A zero-sum game.
Bonus Thoughts
– It was a tough call between "Music Box Dancer" and "Popcorn" to fill the random-instrumental-smash-of-the-1970s quota. Regardless, the latter should get more credit for helping to introduce electronic music to the masses. The song is over 40 years old.
– Belated Jorday update (of sorts) via MySpace.
– Totally sincere: early 1990s Europop is one of the most underrated blips in Top 40 history. So many amazing tunes from so many outfits that were clearly one-and-done propositions (and possibly not even bands as I think some of these songs may have been written by marketing agencies). Effectively, the MuchDance series circa 1991-1995 could serve as that era's Nuggets.
– Grantland.com is tremendous but seeing Rembert Browne poke fun at an 1980s remake of "Apache" without any acknowledgement of its impact on hip-hop? A miss.
– Not surprising but there is a serious Shotmaker hole in the Internet. Maybe this Wikipedia hyperlink will help.

Birds of Prey Changes Title At Movie Theaters
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is changing its name to Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey on all theater chain sites after a struggle to fly at the box office in its opening weekend. The R-rated DC Comics movie, which had a lesser budget than most other major comic book films from DC or Marvel, opened to only $33.2 million at the domestic box office. Other R-rated comic book films in recent years such as Deadpool and Joker opened to more than $130 million and $90 million, respectively. Birds was not expected to reach such heights but was projected to earn closer to $50 million in its debut.
Conversations have swirled online about why Birds of Prey was not met with huge ticket sales in theaters of the first weekend in February, with much of the speculation pointing towards the R-rating hindering a younger audience from buying tickets. The film was met with impressive reviews, getting certified fresh on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. It would seem the film was intended to be an R-rated romp but may have tested better with younger audiences, therefore never released a red band trailer or embraced its sometimes violent, often foul-mouthed adventure in its marketing.
ComicBook.com was among those offering up positive reviews for Birds of Prey. "The next step for DC films shows that the comic brand has an arsenal of characters that are tremendously interesting and should be explored further, but it does leave a lot of meat on the bone by focusing so heavily on the surefire box office draw that is Harley Quinn," the official review reads. "The film starts off slowly and finds its stride in the second act, with McGregor's villain being the entertaining standout while underutilizing some of its other more interesting characters...It is entertaining and a great starting point for some new characters on the big screen."
Regal Cinemas and AMC Theaters have already updated the title to reflect the Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey title. Tickets are available from the theater chain, now.
Warner Brothers has not responded to ComicBook.com's request for comment at the time of publishing.
Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey is now playing in theaters.

Webs of Corruption
Trafficking and Terrorism in Central Asia
Mariya Y. Omelicheva and Lawrence P. Markowitz
Pub Date: May 2019
Counterterrorism experts and policy makers have warned of the peril posed by the links between violent extremism and organized crime, especially the relationship between drug trafficking and terrorism funding. Yet Central Asia, the site of extensive opium trafficking, sees low levels of terrorist violence. Webs of Corruption is an innovative study demonstrating that terrorist and criminal activity intersect more narrowly than is widely believed—and that the state plays the pivotal role in shaping those interconnections.
Mariya Y. Omelicheva and Lawrence P. Markowitz analyze the linkages between the drug trade and terrorism financing in Central Asia, finding that state security services shape the nexus of trafficking and terrorism. While organized crime and terrorism do intersect in parts of the region, profit-driven criminal organizations and politically motivated violent groups come together based on the nature of state involvement. Governments in high-trafficking regions are drawn into illicit economies and forge relationships with a range of nonstate violent actors, such as insurgents, erstwhile regime opponents, and transnational groups. Omelicheva and Markowitz contend that these relationships can mitigate terrorism—by redirecting these actors toward other forms of violence. Offering a groundbreaking combination of quantitative, qualitative, and geographic information systems methods to map trafficking/terrorism connections on the ground, Webs of Corruption provides a meticulously researched, counterintuitive perspective on a potent regional security problem.
Omelicheva and Markowitz's research on the "crime-terror nexus" is refreshing and innovative, challenging conclusions often drawn on it. By bringing the state—both institutions and personalities—into the analytical mix, Omelicheva and Markowitz not only offer an explanation for how these transnational phenomena exist in Central Asia but also a logical framework for how to assess them in other geographic sub-regions of the world. Without question, Central Asian studies specialists and experts on terrorism and narcotics trafficking will benefit from a close reading of this volume. Roger Kangas, Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies
A groundbreaking study of the drug trafficking-terrorism nexus, Webs of Corruption is applicable across the globe. A must-read for anyone studying the links among organized crime, state weakness, and political violence. Erica Marat, author of The Politics of Police Reform: Society Against the State in Post-Soviet Countries
Scholars and policy makers have long speculated on the nexus between drug trafficking and terrorism. In this ambitious and expertly conceptualized study, Omelicheva and Markowitz use a wealth of new data and cutting-edge social science tools to meticulously explore the various relationships that exist among these actors in Central Asia and provide an invaluable framework for understanding the different roles of state actors within these networks. This is an invaluable contribution to the academic literature and regional policy discussions. Alexander Cooley, Columbia University

Center of Digital Excellence – Sandvik CODE – Case Study
wille - September 27 2019
#Case, #SandvikCode, #Socialrecruiting
How is it that a company, with its background as a global leader in the industrial sector, choose to create one of the greatest innovation hubs? That is exactly what Sandvik has done with the help of, among others, Sista Raden. Sandvik needed to shift a part of their business from tools and tool systems for metal machining and the mining and construction industry to the technical market. The Center Of Digital Excellence, or CODE for short, is Sandvik's investment to become one of the leaders in the technical market. And as if this wasn't enough, it would need to be done without Sandvik's competitors knowing.
Dont have time to read it all?
Download our summary
Sandvik - From mining company to Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Sandvik, as it is known today, was founded in 1862 by Göran Fredrik Göransson. In 1972 the name Sandvik was taken. As recently as 1984, a new type of organization was introduced. Now there was a business structure of parent companies and separate business areas. Thus, Sandvik has been constantly developing, both itself and their offer, including new technologies.
Sandvik CODE's goal was to recruit the best possible candidates for this, their major investment. But they needed help. By starting with only 2 managers, including one flown in from Silicon Valley, they needed to recruit a top team. And they needed to do it with rocket speed. Without their team, there would be no innovation hub. It was certainly a great challenge with an even greater business idea.
"We have gone from idea to production in seven months... The industry average is usually three to four years." - Hugo Nordell, VP at Sandvik CODE
Industrial giant - reborn!
Since Sandvik has its foundation in the industry, the needed to completely rebrand themselves in order to stand even the slightest chance to attract the top candidates, the candidates who otherwise would have gone to other, competing, companies. So Sandvik needed to position themselves against tech giants such as Spotify and Klarna among others. This was a major obstacle for Sandvik. To achieve their set goals, help was needed. A lot of help. The recruitment, along with the positioning of their new venture were two major obstacles that needed to be overcome to reach the goals set.
What Sista Raden did to help
We at Sista Raden were able to help Sandvik CODE with many of the obstacles they faced. Among other things, we created a complete recruitment strategy. This strategy had its foundation in attractive and engaging content. In addition, we were able to position Sandvik CODE in the market, with a strong focus on Employer Branding. We also created a secret business page, that was hidden through coding. By cracking the code correctly the visitor was able to view the page. This in turn led to a sense of increased value on the page. We knew we needed to compete with leading Swedish tech companies for their talents. That's why we did not create any traditional job ads. Instead, we used so called role teasers, where only a small piece of information about the role was given in advance. Then the potential candidates had to register their interest based on this. This created an added sense of value, but also an exclusivity on the part of the employer. In addition we also created a recruitment film. This was created, from idea to finished product in just 3 days.

Many websites are designed by a friend who knows someone, a family member that has no idea what they're doing or even business owners themselves. But eventually, you'll want a website that boosts your online appearance which is when you'll typically appoint a web designer.
Chances are you might not speak the same language as your web designer so feel free to ask them to explain when you don't understand what they're saying. Additionally, follow these tips below when working with a professional web developer.
But don't be difficult. If you feel like the design is nothing like you envisioned it or doesn't match your brand, speak up. But also accept that the developer knows what they're doing and sweating the small stuff might leave your site looking like a mess.
Visit various websites and find designs you like to show your developer. It will give them a good idea of the vision you have for your website as well as your likes and dislikes.
Don't overthink. Also, don't get too many opinions. Different people will have a different vision for your website but it's your vision that's important.
The designer is responsible for the website design and functionality, but you are responsible for providing the information for each page. Give the designer the info they need when they ask for it. If you delay this process, your website will take longer to finish.
As long as you picked a professional, skilled designer for the job, you can sit back and relax while they design the site of your dreams. Don't worry too much about the small details that can easily be changed.

Q: Unwanted multiple requests while using Connect/NodeJS I am trying to create middleware with Connect that displays Hello World to the webpage and also logs it in the console. I've been able to get it to work in my browswer but I noticed the console logs it twice - it doesn't do this when using curl. I don't have favicons and all extensions in Chrome are disabled.
Here is my code... rather simple:
var connect = require('connect');

var app = connect();
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    console.log('hello world');
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Hello World');
});
app.listen(5000);

Again, after opening http://localhost:5000 in Chrome, this is the output in the terminal:
hello world
hello world
Why is it being called twice? Is this normal?

A: You are getting two requests and most probably chrome checks for favicon. Add console.log(req); and check what requests are made to server.
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    console.log(req);
    console.log('hello world');
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Hello World');
});

A: Yes. When someone connects with server it is sent message on server.

A: That's not normal. If you simply refresh browser's page (Ctrl + R), you must see "hello world" only once. Open Developer Tools in Chrome (menu button -> Tools -> Developer Tools) and switch to Network tab. Then refresh browser's page again and check the requests browser sends.

A: From the docs:
response.end([data], [encoding])
This method signals to the server that all of the response headers and body have been sent; that server should consider this message complete. The method, response.end(), MUST be called on each response.
If data is specified, it is equivalent to calling response.write(data, encoding) followed by response.end().
The last line seems like the key to this. You're seeing your first console log then what's the equivalent of a response.write. Apologies for lack of formatting, I'm on my iPad.


Jan 5, 2011 -- People with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who smoke are less likely to respond to treatment with two of the most commonly used medications -- an older disease modifying antirheumatic drug called methotrexate and biologic drugs known as TNF blockers, according to a new study in January's Arthritis & Rheumatism.
RA is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system misfires against its own joints and tissues, resulting in inflammation, swelling, pain, and ultimately the loss of mobility. Treating RA early with disease-modifying antirheumatic medications is considered the best way to stop this progressive disease in its tracks.
Of 1,430 people with early RA who were part of a Swedish registry, 873 started therapy with methotrexate and 535 started taking anti-TNF drugs within about three years of their RA diagnosis.
If they smoked (27% of them were current smokers), participants were less likely to show a good response to treatment with methotrexate or anti-TNF drugs at three months, six months, one year, and five years out when compared with their counterparts who never smoked.
It is still too early to tell whether quitting smoking will improve response to therapy, but it seems plausible based on the fact that past smokers responded as well to therapy as never smokers, the researchers write.
"The findings provide a strong impetus for clinicians to include measures against smoking as a fundamental part of their therapeutic armamentarium in RA care," the researchers write.
"This is a very interesting study that provides further information on the impact of smoking on RA," says David Pisetsky, MD, chief of rheumatology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C, in an email.
This new information may help people with RA quit smoking, he says. "Smoking is bad for your lungs and for your heart, but you are less likely to respond to RA treatment, and that may be one more stimuli for a patient to stop."

Cash is no longer king on West Yorkshire's buses, today's meeting of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority was told.
Thanks to the range of smart and digital options people can use to pay for their travel and the savings they can make with them, the number of cash fares is in decline, a report to the meeting says.
MCard, West Yorkshire's travel smartcard, now accounts for £30 million of bus and train travel across the county each year, with people using it to make up to 400,000 journeys per week. And, people have used the free MCard app, which enables them to buy and load travel tickets anytime, anywhere, to purchase over £1 million of MCard travel.
Also, customers of the main, local bus and train operators – Arriva Yorkshire First West Yorkshire The Keighley Bus Company, Northern Rail, TransPennine Express, Cross Country and Virgin East Coast and East Midlands Trains - can pay for their journeys using smartphones, apps and contactless cards.
Ease of ticket purchases, the ability to plan travel better in advance and access to dynamic real-time and disruption information will, says the report, be key to helping the Combined Authority and its partners achieve targets to grow bus use in West Yorkshire. These technological improvements are being supported by improved physical infrastructure including a £1 million programme of investment by the Combined Authority to ease hotspots across West Yorkshire, where buses are delayed.
Looking ahead, the Combined Authority is already exploring Mobility as a Service, a concept that sees all transport modes linked through an app or website enabling users to plan, book and pay for their travel using a single mobility account.
In the same way as people currently choose their cable or satellite TV subscription, Mobility as a Service will enable them to purchase 'bundles' of different travel services, at home or using their smartphone. Their bundle could be made up of bus and rail services, taxi, car club and cycle hire and in the future could also include driverless vehicles and dock-less bike schemes like Ofo, which is coming to Leeds soon.
Today's Committee meeting was told that on a wider scale, Transport for the North is developing an account-based ticketing environment from 2019. Customers will set up an account with a transport provider or ticketing scheme, use their contactless bank card to register each journey and the back-office technology will calculate the cheapest price for all the journeys they make.
