Forty years ago, Nashville and Birmingham, Ala., were peers. Two hundred miles apart, the cities anchored metropolitan areas of just under one million people each and had a similar number of jobs paying similar wages. Not anymore. The population of the Nashville area has roughly doubled, and young people have flocked there, drawn by high-paying jobs as much as its hip "Music City" reputation. Last month, the city won an important consolation prize in the competition for Amazon's second headquarters: an operations center that will eventually employ 5,000 people at salaries averaging $150,000 a year.
Birmingham, by comparison, has steadily lost population, and while its suburbs have expanded, their growth has lagged the Nashville area's. Once-narrow gaps in education and income have widened, and important employers like SouthTrust and Saks have moved their headquarters. Birmingham tried to lure Amazon, too, but all it is getting from the online retail giant is a warehouse and a distribution center where many jobs will pay about $15 an hour.
Amazon's announcement has been widely described as a rich-get-richer victory of coastal "superstar cities" like New York and Washington, regions where the company plans to employ a total of at least 50,000 workers. But the company's decisions also reflect another trend: growing inequality among midsize cities.
Nashville and the other Amazon also-rans, like Columbus, Ohio, and Indianapolis, are thriving because of a combination of luck, astute political choices and well-timed investments. At the same time, Birmingham and cities like it, including Providence, R.I., and Rochester, are falling further behind.

4 Projects That Show Mass Timber is the Future of American Cities
Posted on 24 November 2018 24 November 2018 by JMc
As architects face up to the need for ethical, sustainable design in the age of climate change awareness, timber architecture is making a comeback in a new, technologically impressive way. Largely overlooked in the age of Modernism, recent years have seen a plethora of advancements related to mass timber across the world. This year alone, Japan announced plans for a supertall wooden skyscraper in Tokyo by 2041, while the European continent has seen plans for the world's largest timber building in the Netherlands, and the world's tallest timber tower in Norway.

According to the Federal Government, the Suburbs Don't Exist – News | Planetizen
Shawn Bucholtz and Jed Kolko describe one of the facts of American life: most U.S. residents live in suburbs, but the federal government doesn't actually categorize communities as suburban. The federal government makes a distinction between urban and rural, but not for suburban. "The lack of an official federal definition of suburban means that government data are not reported separately for suburban areas. That makes it hard to measure the reach and impact of federal programs and to produce vital statis

Wildfires can't cool hot real estate markets | Grist
More people than ever want to live on the wild edges of Western cities, despite the risk wildfires pose to their homes. A recent study by researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, found that wildfires drive down real estate prices only in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Home prices in burned areas typically rebound to pre-fire levels within one to two years.
Yet developers will continue to build in high-risk areas as long as there's a demand. Residential growth in forested areas across the United States has exploded in recent years, from an estimated 12.5 million housing units in 2000 to 44 million by 2010. "We should be worried about that," said University of Nevada, Las Vegas, research economist Shawn McCoy, who led the study. "The societal costs of wildfire will increase, because people continue to develop there. They know that those homes will sell regardless of the risk."
The researchers found that the value of homes within sight of burn scars did dip after a fire and was slower to rebound. But even there, homebuyers' awareness of fire risk didn't impact their willingness to invest in those properties. Overall, housing values in the high-risk zones dropped in the year following a wildfire, but rebounded to pre-fire prices in one to two years.
….wildfire suppression accounts for 52 percent of the Forest Service's budget; by 2021, it's projected to increase to 67 percent….

Rising seas could wipe out $1 trillion worth of U.S. homes and businesses | Grist
Posted on 18 June 2018 18 June 2018 by JMc
Some 2.4 million American homes and businesses worth more than $1 trillion are at risk of "chronic inundation" by the end of the century, according to a report out Monday. That's about 15 percent of all U.S. coastal real estate, or roughly as much built infrastructure as Houston and Los Angeles combined.
The sweeping new study from the Union of Concerned Scientists is the most comprehensive analysis of the risks posed by sea level rise to the United States coastal economy. Taken in context with the lack of action to match the scale of the problem, it describes a country plowing headlong into a flood-driven financial crisis of enormous scale.

An Infrastructure Plan That Would Actually Work by Willem Buiter & Dag Detter – Project Syndicate
Posted on 2 April 2018 2 April 2018 by JMc
The total value of commercial assets owned by state and local governments is sure to be of the same magnitude, or larger. After all, local governments own and operate most airports and ports, as well as utilities such as water, sewerage, and electricity – all of which are in desperate need of funding. But real estate comprises the bulk of public commercial assets. By some estimates, publicly owned assets account for as much as one-quarter of the total market value of real estate in a city or county. At the same time, many localities need additional funding for affordable housing.
All told, this public wealth represents a substantial opportunity for investors, local governments, and society as a whole. If professionally managed, the yield from such a vast portfolio of commercial assets could fund not just critically needed infrastructure investments, but also any other public goods and services that are in demand.

Why we all need Deaf urbanism – Greater Greater Washington
Deaf Urbanism is about changing the conversations around our cities, bringing our Deaf cultural values to the city at large, and preserving our place in society at large — as well as defining urbanism for our own community. Many tenants of Deaf Urbanism have to do with fostering a sense of inclusion as well as eliminating ableism and tokenism…
Deaf Urbanism is really just good design
Many able-bodied people benefit from technological advancements that were first designed for Deaf people, such as subtitles and texting. In urban contexts, various design ideals in DeafSpace include tactile elements, visual access and wayfinding throughout the urban environment. Tactile elements are simply changes in the walking surfaces to denote uses and boundaries — think of a rough stone edge near a curb, so that when you are looking away, you can feel with your feet when you are reaching the edge.
When it comes to visual access, having buildings and spaces that are open, have lots of light, and have direct visual connection benefit everyone. Being able to see your friends in a group in a building across the way on the second floor is simply good design. Applying these items in a larger urban context, we can use different materials in paving to denote different spaces and transitions, such as a cafe, a sidewalk, and a crosswalk. Having appropriate visual connection of buildings to Metro stations instead of buildings obscuring the visual landscape benefits everyone.
Many other urban design elements — such as gentle slopes and wide sidewalks instead of stairs — benefit people that have limited mobility and are also appreciated by able-bodied people. Another example is reduced curb cuts, which benefit pedestrians and bikers as well as people who are Deaf and disabled. Instead of having to step down or look for cars, an able-bodied person can just walk through…
Deaf people communicate in a 3-D language that can benefit planning conversations. It is intuitively simpler to communicate a 3-D environment in a 3-D modality. In our roundtable conversations for Deaf Urbanism, we discuss the scale of streets and how they should look with bike lanes, streetcar lanes, and the like in only a few signs…

Opinion | A New Map for America – The New York Times
From 2016 but even more salient today. Compare to Trump's Infrastructure Plan once released and see where the plan misses the key points.
Congress was once a world leader in regional planning. The Louisiana Purchase, the Pacific Railroad Act (which financed railway expansion from Iowa to San Francisco with government bonds) and the Interstate System of highways are all examples of the federal government's thinking about economic development at continental scale. The Tennessee Valley Authority was an agent of post-Depression infrastructure renewal, job creation and industrial modernization cutting across six states….
What would this approach look like in America? It would start by focusing not on state lines but on existing lines of infrastructure, supply chains and telecommunications, routes that stay remarkably true to the borders of the emergent super-regions, and are most robust within the new urban archipelagos…
Where possible, such planning should even jump over international borders. While Detroit's population has fallen below a million, the Detroit-Windsor region is the largest United States-Canada cross-border area, with nearly six million people (and one of the largest border populations in the world). Both sides are deeply interdependent because of their automobile and steel industries and would benefit from scaling together rather than bickering over who pays for a new bridge between them. Detroit's destiny seems almost obvious if we are brave enough to build it: a midpoint of the Chicago-Toronto corridor in an emerging North American Union.
To make these things happen requires thinking beyond states. Washington currently provides minimal support for regional economic efforts and strategies; it needs to go much further, even at the risk of upsetting established federal-state political balances. A national infrastructure bank, if it ever gets off the ground, should have as part of its charter an obligation to ignore state lines when weighing

The Boomtown That Shouldn't Exist – POLITICO Magazine
| Erika Larsen for Politico Magazine
Cape Coral may be the best place to gauge the future of the dream—and to see whether Florida has any hope of overcoming its zany developmental, political and environmental history—because Cape Coral is the ultimate microcosm of Florida. It's literally a peninsula jutting off the peninsula, the least natural, worst-planned, craziest-growing piece of an unnatural, badly planned, crazy-growing state. Man has sculpted it into an almost comically artificial landscape, with a Seven Islands section featuring seven perfectly rectangular islands and an Eight Lakes neighborhood featuring eight perfectly square lakes. And while much of Florida now yo-yos between routine droughts and routine floods, Cape Coral's fluctuations are particularly wild. This spring, the city faced a water shortage so dire that its fire department feared it couldn't rely on its hydrants, yet this summer, the city endured a record-breaking flood. And that "50-year rain event" came two weeks before Irma, which was also supposedly a 50-year event.

"'Conquering' nature has long been the western way," writes Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki. "Our hubris, and often our religious ideologies, have led us to believe we are above nature and have a right to subdue and control it. We let our technical abilities get ahead of our wisdom. We're learning now that working with nature—understanding that we are part of it—is more cost-effective and efficient in the long run."

Canadian report recommends nationwide retrofit strategy to cut emissions from large buildings | Proud Green Building
A new report by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) delivers a detailed roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from large buildings like office towers, recreation centers, hospitals, arenas and schools across the country. CaGBC's A Roadmap for Retrofits in Canadademonstrates the critical role existing buildings play in realizing Canada's low carbon future, according to a release.
The report provides recommendations to retrofit large buildings that will contribute to achieving a reduction in GHG emissions of at least 30 percent (or 12.5 million tons) by 2030, with the potential to reach 51 percent or 21.2 million tons. The roadmap provides government and industry with a targeted plan to yield the greatest carbon savings from buildings and grow Canada's clean economy.

Why cities should stop fighting big banks and create their own – Salon.com
Frack-happy, Trump-supporting North Dakota probably isn't the first place you would expect to find a working model, but since 1919, the state has used the Bank of North Dakota to finance everything from student loans to sewer upgrades and small business loans. The bank just posted its thirteenth consecutive year of record profits, earning more than $136 million in 2016. And unlike at a big private bank, that money goes right back into investing in the people, rather than into investors' pockets.

I remember as a young boy and looking to my parents with an overwhelming sense that they knew everything. I mean, they were adults - adults have it all together and know how to make life flow from meal to meal, day to day, they knew how to make it all happen. I never really questioned much of how things worked and why they happened, but I did know that they happened.
About a week ago I was walking the show floors of the International Outdoor Retailer (OR) and Snow Show and as I walked through the lower levels of the convention centers that were dedicated to suppliers, it all began to click inside my head. No longer was this industry so black and white to me. Everything had a process, a purpose and yet a very disorganized feel.
Imagine a big building with three main levels. The lower level is the base for all suppliers. The middle level is filled to the max with up and coming brands from smart outdoor clothing to electric dirt bikes. Then, on the crown of the establishment, we find the main show floor for the "big wigs", the "gearheads haven", or in other words, the multimillion (sometimes billion) companies like Marmot®, The North Face®, Patagonia®, Etc.
Remember how I said that when I was a kid I saw the world in black and white and thought my parents absolutely knew it all? Well, if this makes sense for me to say, we as consumers are in that same boat. I remember I used to walk into any gear story, RockCreek, REI, Academy, Dicks, whatever, and I all I saw where clothes. I saw no process. I saw no trial and error testing phase. I don't even think I stopped to ponder what each material was made of. Now... Wow... I don't even know where to begin, but I can honestly say that I will never look at any garment or any piece of outdoor gear in the same light.
I decided to go to the OR show on a whim and hope of one of our SWAYY Premus™ hammocks shown at the Primaloft® booth. (Spoiler alert: it wasn't displayed at the booth. #getitinwritting). However, from this amazing trip, I have accelerated my learning leaps and bounds more than I would have just sitting at my dining room table at home wishing away my time. Sometimes, you have to get up and move, and that is when the miracles and heavenly guidance come. It is always impossible to steer a horse that isn't moving.
The OR show was an eye-opening experience and I doubt I will ever look at any textile industry company the same way. While I do believe that the process of creating gear product is only as complex as you make it, I do know understand more fully the great deal of thought, planning, and logistics that is placed into even one jacket being manufactured.
Switching gears now, I just want to say that we almost moved into our new manufacturing facility and are making samples today! A lot has to happen in the few months to make it all come together, but that is always the exciting part. Stay tuned and I will keep you updated.
- I will be officially pitching to potential investors here in the next week.
- Manufacturing process planning is 70% done. Once we get to 90%, we are hitting the launch button!
- Shooting a video for Kickstarter (more to come on this latter - new products are coming), so get stoked!

NASCAR America: What's the right way for a driver to criticize his team?
By Daniel McFadinSep 7, 2016, 10:00 AM EDT
Kevin Harvick controversially called out his pit crew after the Southern 500 for poor performance late in the race. NASCAR America debates whether that was the right decision.
Former crew chief Steve Letarte disagrees with the public criticism of team members.
"I wouldn't have delivered the message that way, but Kevin Harvick has been consistent his entire career and he's proven that's how he's going to deliver the message," Letarte said. "He's going to do it publicly, and what we don't know, and it's unfair to say, we don't know is how many times he's delivered that message privately. And maybe he's gotten to a point where he doesn't feel it's being addressed."
Harvick finished second in the Southern 500 after a slow pit stop sent him from first place to 12th with less than 120 laps to go.

NCAA panel recommends more benefits for DI college athletes, sport-specific governance
January 5, 2023 by deskaminx
Dive Brief:
An NCAA panel charged with reforming the highest level of college sports released a slew of recommendations this week that would create more sport-by-sport governance over Division I and require colleges to give more benefits to their student-athletes.
In its 48-page report, the Division I Transformation Committee proposed a batch of new benefits for college athletes. They include bolstered mental health services, at least two years of medical coverage post-college if they sustain injuries, and funds for them to complete their degrees up to 10 years after they leave college without completing a credential.
The committee also recommended focusing more on sport-by-sport governance by creating new committees with sport-specific experts. But members stopped short of agreeing with calls to break up DI sports to separate the most well-heeled programs from those that are less wealthy.
Dive Insight:
The committee — whose members include college presidents, athletics directors and conference commissioners — spent the last year considering potential changes to Division I athletics. The report notes that the recommendations are coming during a moment of tremendous upheaval to college sports, partly due to a patchwork of state laws regulating if and how student-athletes can be compensated for their names, images and likenesses.
It also addresses recent calls to divide Division I sports, which is composed of roughly 350 colleges with vastly different resources. Some officials in Division I, including former Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, have advocated for more control over the rules governing their conferences.
Officials within the Power Five — the highest-earning football conferences, which include the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference — are largely driving the effort.
While they want more power over how they can spend their earnings, other college administrators have been concerned that dividing Division I sports would upset a revenue distribution model that helps support smaller institutions, Sports Illustrated reported.
Transformation committee members resisted that approach, arguing that the "breadth and diversity" of Division I is critical to college athletics.
"Breaking Division I apart would damage what is vital and essential about college sports," Julie Cromer and Greg Sankey, co-chairs of the transformation committee, wrote in the report. "So long as their universities can meet minimum expectations in terms of the support they provide, ultimately, we want as many student-athletes as possible to start each season with Division I national championship dreams."
The Division I Board of Directors will review the report's recommendations before the NCAA's conference next week in Texas.
However, the report noted that some changes to college athletics are in the hands of congressional lawmakers. That includes NIL issues and whether college athletes can be considered employees.
"There's no question that finding fair, sustainable and equitable resolutions to each issue will be essential to Division I's future," the report states. "We simply need a clear, stable framework under which to address them."
The report says that the NCAA has created a Board of Governors Subcommittee on Congressional Engagement to work with lawmakers on these issues.

EMS Telehealth and 911 Virtual Care
UCM Digital Health and Albany County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Medical Services Partner to Bring Virtual ER to their Patients
EMS Services and UCM Digital Health connect patients to emergency medicine trained physicians and reduce unnecessary ER visits, streamline workflows, and improve patient care.
TROY, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — UCM Digital Health (UCM), a leading digital health and telehealth provider that combines a digital front door platform, team of providers, and 24/7 telehealth triage, treatment and navigation service, is proud to announce a joint program with the Albany County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with Albany County Sheriff's Office of EMS, to bring its digital health platform solution to emergency calls.
The program provides patients with access to virtual care by a UCM provider who serves as a real-time extension of EMS treatment. When diagnosing a patient, the paramedics and EMTs can determine the patient's severity level and if emergency care at a hospital is necessary. After the assessment, if it is determined that the patient does not require treatment in the hospital or ER setting, with the patient's consent, paramedics and EMTs can initiate a virtual consultation with a UCM-trained, experienced, and licensed physician who will then proceed to treat and triage the presenting medical issues, ensuring that the patient gets the care they need, right in their location. This solution gives patients immediate access to emergency medicine level care in the comfort of their own homes, avoiding unnecessary and often costly trips to the emergency room. Together, UCM and the Albany County Sheriff's Office of EMS are addressing emergency medical issues, providing quality care, and significantly reducing the number of unnecessary and avoidable ambulance transports and hospital emergency room visits.
In addition to treating a patient's immediate concerns, the UCM Digital Health team can provide medical advice and reassurance, prescribe medications, and issue referrals for supplemental treatment, including laboratory testing, radiological imaging, and specialist appointments, should they be needed. Additionally, a follow-up virtual consultation with a UCM provider can be scheduled for the patient.
This shared operation allows the Sheriff Department's Office of Emergency Medical Services to seamlessly integrate readily available emergency medicine physicians into their 911 responses, resulting in care that can be administered in the patient's home, rather than in the hospital. The program reduces excessive workload burdens shouldered by EMS providers and emergency rooms. With increased efficiencies, medical providers gain the capacity to focus on higher-level medical emergencies. This provides patients with the right care, in the right setting, and at the most cost-effective level.
"Ambulance service extends considerable time and resources transporting patients who might be better cared for outside of the emergency room," said Steve Anderson, Director of EMS & 911, UCM Digital Health. "When an EMS crew is managing low to moderate emergency calls, system readiness for high-level emergencies is diminished. We are proud to partner with the Albany County Sheriff's Department to help address health care capacity issues, improve quality care, and significantly reduce unnecessary emergency room visits."
UCM Digital Health also has this EMS integration in place with dozens of other agencies and plans to continue its expansion to additional counties, municipalities, and networks.

I like the perspective you chose for this prompt. Should it be plastered ?
"mirrored in your nostrils" Ha!
The mirror refelects our mental projections.
You've nosed out the truth here.
I hadnt thought about the cocaine aspect !
oh, now i get it! good one!
Ha! I didn't get the mirrored into the nostrils either. So interesting to think of plastered interior rather than exterior.
A ceramic interior to go with her porcelain features? Clever to cut the picture down too.
'mirrored in your nostrils' breath of fresh air this one.
Like how you cropped the photo, got right down to the nitty gritty.
There is a bit of the exotic in this photo. I hadn't thought of the cocaine aspect as is mentioned in the comments…grateful to not have had any personal experience with it. But the mirror does imply that. Is that where you were taking it? Thanks to hooking it up to my prompt. I always look forward to your work.
i have fun trying to write one poem for multiple prompts. i'm glad you like how i did this.
cool how you can write something and it means something totally different to other people, and then it can mean that to you also.
I've had the same experience. It makes me think of channeling…who knows how these things happen. That's part of the excitement of the creative process, isn't it.
great stuff:) i didn't get the coke angle until i read the comments, but there's no escaping it now.
a good write,had to read it a few times to get it all.

Or, how I quit programming and returned.
by Misty De Meo on March 17th, 2014
It was obvious from childhood I was destined to be in tech.
My family were early computer adopters. We had a PC in the house when I was about two years old, which was an opportunity a lot of people didn't get. PCs around then were both incredibly expensive and pretty inflexible single-program devices, but one of the things they were really good at was word processing, and that was enough of a reason for my academic parents to drop $5000 on a state-of-the-art DOS 3 machine with a whopping 20MB hard drive. (The hard drive alone made up about half the cost.)
Since the PC was in the house anyway, I had plenty of chance to play with it. One of my favourite childhood toys was MS Paint in Windows 2.0, and some of my earliest memories are of tinkering. A lot of kids I knew had the stereotypical suburban dad with a garage or wood shop, but for my dad the family PC was the shop, and he spent a lot of my childhood puttering around with it and trying new software. A lot of what I learned came from watching and helping him.
As far as everyone was concerned, I was going to be a programmer when I grew up, and I believed it too. I spent a lot of time as a kid teaching myself to program (poorly) and making video games in Klik & Play. I spent most of my high school's weird chimera of a computer class (half programming, half MS office) tinkering with awful code only tangentially related to classwork, and ended up graduating with the school's computer science award.
Around the same time, between high school and undergrad, two huge changes happened in my life: I suddenly pivoted away from computer science; and I came out as transgender. At the time these were completely separate events to me, but I'm not sure I believe that anymore.
The Usual Stereotypes
In retrospect, it's really not surprising that I didn't go into computer science in undergrad. I transitioned in between high school and university. I was looking for a clean break between the "old" and "new" me; I was desperate to prove to the world what I already knew I was. I started deliberately absorbing stereotypes from the world around me (spoken and unspoken, real and imagined) in the hopes it would make me more "real".
While drafting this, I tried to think of female programmers I might have known as a kid that would have been counterexamples to the stereotypes. I'm ashamed to say it took me awhile to remember anyone – for awhile I just assumed I'd never known a woman programmer growing up. As much as I'd like to believe I'm immune to cultural stereotypes, I absorbed as many growing up as anyone else, despite being raised in a progressive household with forward-thinking parents.
I only explicitly remember one female programmer from when I was a kid. She worked at a small company I job-shadowed at for a day in junior high school. It was a multimedia shop; I went there because I wanted to learn about programming, but they also did 3D animation and audio. The office wasn't especially gender-segregated, and at least one woman worked on code, but I remember being led around all day by the male staff who seemed perfectly glad to ignore their work in favour of Duke Nukem 3D matches or (occasionally) showing me the software they used to do their jobs. I didn't actually get to see much of what the programmer did, mostly because she focused on her work while the guys joked about her having to make up the slack. At the time, I thought what I saw of the office was the coolest thing in the world.
In a career-preparation exercise from high school, the teacher gave out leaflets with little story blurbs about a typical day in the life for different careers. These were by necessity stereotyped, and were designed to try and give students a more realistic idea of various jobs – probably as much to disillusion students about jobs that seemed magical to them as to get them to think about jobs they might never realize they'd want. At the time my dream job was to make video games, so I jumped straight to the game programmer leaflet. It described a typical day in the life of an (implicitly male) coder sleeping under the desk and blearily experimenting with algorithms deep into the night. Not a terribly flattering image at the best of times.
I still remember the friendly bafflement of open source devs when I reported bugs. I was a big user of open-source software in high school. I didn't really contribute code, but I was a prolific bug reporter. I was already presenting as female online, and in the pretty niche stuff I was playing around with it seemed like I was a novelty to devs. I got more than a few questions about how I was a girl – who liked computers! The tone was always friendly, but the undertone was clear: I was weird. I wasn't necessarily unwelcome, but I was unexpected and there weren't other people like me around.
Women programmers were, anyway, a minority of the coders I saw, and weren't something the people I encountered expected to see. The usual stereotypes informed the way I saw the world and the places I saw for women in that space.
So. Computer science: out. Pants: out. (I didn't wear pants for at least a few years.) On the internet, I made a point of writing ~improbably girly~ and I dressed as femme as humanly possible. In retrospect, the fact I dressed girlier than most women probably did not help me pass as cis, but I was performing gender so artificially I don't know it matters. I was out to prove I was a woman in the face of a world that was set up not to believe me; I was acting, not being genuine. It took me years to start dropping the persona, and only when I was passing on my own. (I would keep some of those things, but on my own terms. What I grew out of was the need to define some things as exclusively female or male and silo them.)
So I didn't go into comp sci. I didn't give up computers; being a nerd was a little too integral to me even then. But I was embarrassed being nerdy socially, and I abandoned studying for a career in programming. I spent a few years drifting through an English degree, bouncing between courses without developing any kind of specialty. At one point I vaguely considered becoming a technical writer; I have trouble trying to understand my own reasoning at the time, but I assume it was a more gender-appropriate way of getting into tech in a less-technical support role. I really didn't have a plan.
A Career In Archives and Open Source
Archives were a lucky accident. It was the summer after the first year of undergrad, I needed a job, and I found one at the university archives posted at the library. I didn't know anything about archives, but I liked books, and libraries and archives are basically the same thing, right?
I worked there one summer, and then another summer, and then I took my master's in archives. I was hooked.
It was archives that brought me back into programming. For most of my career I've focused on digital archives, and a few years ago I took a turn into digital preservation. There's no actual expectation that digital archivists can program, but it didn't take me long to realize that a lot of my analysis work could be sped up if I could just learn to automate it. So I taught myself some basic Ruby scripting, caught the bug, and gradually taught myself more.
By that time I was universally passing, so I didn't have the stress of the first few years hanging over me. When I no longer had to police my own identity to avoid ridicule and to be read as what I was, I didn't care about stereotyping myself as much. I started to open myself back up to all the options I'd been cutting myself off from. (I bought my first pair of pants in years when doing my master's. Toronto was cold that year.)
I got involved in the open source software community mostly as a user with an itch to scratch. I'm easily obsessed and enjoy tackling weird problems, though, which turns out to make me a good open-source citizen. I started out as a contributor to the Mac package manager Homebrew, and eventually ended up on the core development team. Now, I work for a company that develops open source software for archives. Officially, my title is "developer" – for the first time in my professional life, I'm not technically an archivist.
Somehow I found my way into tech anyway.
Looking Back, and Forward
I don't regret the choices I've made and where I am in life. But I do wonder where I'd be if things had been different. If I were cis male, would I be an archivist? My detour away from computer science has a lot to do with gender, and I doubt I would have explored a career outside of tech had I not felt pushed. I can't picture where I'd be now, but I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am now.
If I were cis female, would I have gotten into tech in the first place? It's hard for me to predict that particular alternate history. My family were always supportive of non-stereotypical interests; they bought me the toys I wanted regardless of whether they were stereotypically gendered male or female, and let me pursue the activities I liked without judgment. (For that matter, they tolerated my obsessive interest in computers and video games even when they clearly thought, not without reason, I was overdoing it.) But it's hard for me to say whether the outside world's stereotypes would have won out if I hadn't felt the (internal, external) pressure to conform that came from transitioning.
For a long time, I thought of being trans as just this unfortunate medical condition – a bump down the road to a normal life. I couldn't conceive of it as an "identity". But the more I look back on my life, the more I realize it really has shaped me. I'm as much a product of my socialization, before I asserted my identity, as I am of the transition itself. I keep developing, and I keep finding myself; I'm ready to start asserting those moments of discovery, those in-between places, that make me who I am.

The Alen Stajcic saga has cast a shadow over Australian football but Matildas forward Caitlin Foord says the former coach would want the team to move on.
Football Federation Australia is in the process of announcing a new head coach who will take the Matildas to this month's Cup of Nations and June's FIFA Women's World Cup.
Despite a tumultuous few weeks Foord, 24, believes shifting her focus to her W-League commitments has helped her process what occurred.
"It was a massive shock to everyone and it has been challenging," Foord said on Evenings on FNR.
"Focusing on the W-League and our own teams has made this easier, it forced us to push it aside.
"We still have to play and luckily for us we're in the Grand Final and it doesn't give us much time to speculate about what's about to happen.
"It will be hard having to continue without Stajcic who has been on this journey with us for so long but we know he'd want us to re-focus.
Foord's Sydney FC will meet Perth Glory in the W-League Grand Final on Saturday afternoon.
Sydney's defence will face a herculean task coming up against an in-form Samantha Kerr and Rachel Hill.
"We know they're going to be tough and solid," Foord said.
"If we focus on ourselves and our jobs we'll be fine, we just want to focus on us.

Artjom Alexandrowitsch Chadschibekow (; * 20. April 1970 in Obninsk, Russische SFSR) ist ein ehemaliger russischer Sportschütze.

Erfolge
Artjom Chadschibekow, der für ZSKA Moskau startete, nahm an fünf Olympischen Spielen teil. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1996 kam er mit dem Luftgewehr mit 594 Punkten als Dritter der Qualifikation ins Finale, in dem er weitere 101,7 Punkte erzielte und mit insgesamt 695,7, einem neuen olympischen Rekord, vor Wolfram Waibel und Jean-Pierre Amat Olympiasieger wurde. Mit dem Kleinkalibergewehr belegte er im Dreistellungskampf Rang 13, im liegenden Anschlag Rang 20. Vier Jahre darauf gelang ihm in Sydney in allen drei Konkurrenzen der Finaleinzug. Mit dem Luftgewehr platzierte er sich, mit insgesamt 695,1 Punkten, hinter Cai Yalin auf dem Silberrang. Im liegenden Anschlag mit dem Kleinkaliber wurde er Sechster, während er im Dreistellungskampf als Vierter knapp eine weitere Medaille verpasste. 2004 kam er in Athen mit dem Luftgewehr nicht über den 24. Platz hinaus. Im liegenden Anschlag mit dem Kleinkaliber fehlte ihm ein Punkt zur Finalteilnahme und schloss die Konkurrenz auf dem neunten Rang ab. Den Dreistellungskampf beendete Chadschibekow auf dem fünften Platz. Bei den Spielen 2008 in Peking und 2012 in London trat er nur noch in den beiden Kleinkaliber-Konkurrenzen an, eine Top-Ten-Platzierung gelang ihm dabei aber nicht mehr.

Chadschibekow wurde 1998 in Barcelona mit dem Luftgewehr in der Einzel- und der Mannschaftskonkurrenz Weltmeister, während er mit der Kleinkaliber-Mannschaft im Dreistellungskampf Bronze gewann. Bereits 1994 hatte er in Mailand mit der Luftgewehr-Mannschaft Bronze gewonnen. 2002 folgten in Lahti Titelgewinne in den Mannschaftskonkurrenzen mit dem Luftgewehr und dem Kleinkaliber-Dreistellungskampf. Vier Jahre darauf wurde er in Zagreb in letzterer Disziplin sowohl im Einzel als auch mit der Mannschaft Weltmeister.

Q: Change value of div while scrolling how could I change a position of a div, based on scroll level of my website? I have a landing screen (whole page fullscreen background) only with big centered logo. What I'm asking is, how to do that it'll scale down and catch into a navbar, where it'll be sticked, untill it would be scrolled up again.
I did a video showcase, how I mean it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fecyRsOkz8&feature=youtu.be
I'm so glad for any help, have a nice day, senior coders! :)

A: Check the
http://jsfiddle.net/rjv2016/occL21s3/1/
$(window).scroll(function(){
var aDivPosition = $('.adivclass').height();
alert($(this).scrollTop());
if ($(this).scrollTop() >= aDivPosition) {

    $("#adiv1").position({
      my: bottom,
      of: $window,
          collision: "fit"

The fiddle only has the needed code. You will have to work out the .position method if not, post back your update (with your code).

Following on from the original data centre build in 2009, Keysource worked with Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) to deliver an innovative chiller free design, providing 100% indirect free cooling. This enabled PGS to reduce capital and ongoing expenditure without compromising on availability or performance.
Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) helps oil companies find offshore oil and gas reserves thanks to its ability to interpret and act on a range of geological, geographical, scientific and technical intelligence. Effective analysis of the data it acquires, stores and manages helps PGS to be a world-leading provider of seismic and electromagnetic services, data acquisition, processing and reservoir analysis/interpretation. Substantial computing capacity has to be tightly managed with a very high-density configuration. PGS operates 21 data centres globally, with three main data centre hubs located in Houston, Texas; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Weybridge, Surrey.
Keysource was awarded the contract to design and build the Weybridge data centre for PGS and it was highly successful on several fronts; an industry-leading annualised Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15 was achieved, resulting in several awards; savings of 6.3 million kWh in annual power consumption were made and high density hardware platforms of 30kW per rack were comfortably accommodated. The facility was the first to use Keysource's ecofris cooling solution, and the innovative cooling approach and ability to recirculate air within a data centre without using fresh air helped to reduce the energy costs for PGS.
Keysource looked at ways to maximise the use of white space for IT as well as how to remove the overhead cost of running mechanical cooling, even for a very limited number of hours a year. This would ensure maximum availability of power for the IT equipment. With a marginal improvement in operating efficiency (annualised PUE) the biggest design change was the reduced peak PUE. This change reduced the overhead of reserve power for cooling and enabled an increase in IT design load from 1.8MW to 2.7MW within the same footprint.
The original design catered for a scalable and modular deployment which would enable four phases of 600kW increments. The phase 2 project would see the IT load increase from 600kW to 1.2MW and increase the future maximum from 1.8MW to 2.7MW. The data hall was laid out to facilitate the deployment of future IT equipment within the same raised floor space and did not require any expansion of the data hall itself. All supporting mechanical and electrical plant, was located outside the DC white space, with the electrical system and UPS installed in new modular constructed buildings adjacent to the DC.
Whilst maintaining the same principle for data centre cooling and airflow as phase 1, the latest innovation for ecofris was deployed which had the added benefit of a chillerless design. This was achieved by a combination of dynamic control of server inlet temperatures, plus the Keysource FM team fine-tuning the operation of the overall system. The airflow design and comprehensive control system, combined with total separation of hot and cold air, meant that the facility could accommodate 35kW in any rack and deliver a PUE L2,YC (Level 2, Continuous Measurement) of 1.15 while maintaining a server inlet temperature consistent across the entire space of 72°F (22°C) +/-1°. Maintaining an indirect free cooling design, rather than adopting direct fresh air or air to air, eliminated the need for major filtration or the need for mechanical back up.
With innovation central to the improved performance of the data centre, Keysource also improved the original UPS design and for phase 2 delivered modular, highly efficient UPS systems providing 96% efficiency from >25% facility load, plus facility controls which provided automated optimisation.
The upgrade has been recognised internationally, winning the Uptime Institute Brill Award for 'Operational upgrade in EMEA'.
"We have been very pleased with the performance of the facility since it went live in 2008. Yet working in such a competitive industry and with a culture of innovation we always want to explore opportunities for improvement.
Multiple award-winning facility including the Uptime Institute Brill Award and EU Code of Conduct Participant Award.
IT design load increase from 1.8MW to 2.7MW in same footprint.
Reduced PUE for one of the most efficient European data centres.
50% rise in Rack Power Density to 30kW/rack.
2nd phase incorporated an innovative chiller free design delivering 100% indirect free cooling.
The facility has consistently delivered an annualised PUE of 1.15 since operation.

After graduating high school I chose to go away for school. While away I became very depressed because I had no friends and I was away from home. Because of that I decided to come home for the rest of my college experience, but U was still scared. I was scared because I was starting over at a new school where I really only knew my best friend. She knew all about my experience when I went away for school and didn't want that for me when I started IUS, so she started talking to me about sorority life. I was against it that whole summer because (just like a lot of people) I thought of it as a group of girls that paid for their friends. Even though I thought that, I still wanted to try it out because my best friend was part of it and I wanted something new in my life. So I decided to go to the info session where each sorority explained their philanthropies and they told us their experiences. I became hooked and signed up as quickly as possible for formal recruitment.
I started what would become an amazing journey. I went to each sorority the first night of formal recruitment and it was kind of scary. On the second night I went to two parties and I was very happy. I had a blast meeting new people that I didn't meet the night before and hearing their stories. Then came the third night where I got invited back again by the two sororities and again had a blast, but the night ended when I had to choose between the two. Even though my best friend was in one of those sororities, I still had a difficult time choosing because they both had so many wonderful qualities!
Even though I had a hard time choosing I chose the one that was best for me, Phi Sigma Sigma. I started out saying that I began an amazing journey but after I made my decision I started what would be the best chapters of my life. We started right away with new member classes, meetings, and the actives getting to know us new girls. My favorite memory about the beginning of this experience was when we had this game that was like speed dating but more speed getting-to-know-our-chapter. We did this so that we could figure out who we wanted to be our Big, who is like your mentor or role model. After choosing that person, us new girls had to play the waiting game to find out who our Big would be. They gave us hints, which would usually be song lyrics, and tricked us when we asked who it would be up until the day we found out. That night they made us new girls wait in a classroom while our secret Big hid in a car in the parking lot with our hint, the song, blaring out of the car. We ran out of the classroom and into the paring lot to try to find the car that was playing our song which was a blast! That was when I found out that my Big was my best friend! That is just one of the many amazing moments I've had since joining.
Joining Phi Sigma Sigma has made me who I am today, I now have 30 best friends and sisters that I would never trade for anything. They have been through so many ups and downs in my life that I would never have gotten through without them. Just a short while ago we said goodbye, we know we still have them as our sisters forever and that will never change. I've also become closer to two girls who, even though they aren't my Big, still became big role models in my life. They showed me how to push through anything and make my own decisions. I would not trade this experience for anything because I am now role model, a best friend, sister, Big, Little and a leader. I love my sisters and can't wait to get some awesome additions in the fall!


It's time we question society's idea that a certain number determines our maturity levels and our abilities. Young adults are a severely underestimated age group, and a large portion of this is due to the supposed relationship between maturity and age. Frankly, I'm sick of my maturity and abilities being questioned because of my age. It's time for a change.
Society has provided no specific rules involving maturity, no age where all of a sudden a person realizes their full potential and becomes a functioning member of society. Granted, some maturity does come with age. Nobody over six should be throwing temper tantrums in the middle of a Chuck E. Cheese, but when does age become irrelevant to a person's maturity?
I've heard way too often that teenagers specifically shouldn't be trusted with big life decisions because they're not fully matured. "How can you decide that now, your brain isn't fully developed?" If that's the case, why am I deciding my supposed career path when I'm 18 years old? If I can be trusted with that at 18, I can obviously be trusted with tattooing my body! I'll just get a whole bunch all over my neck, I'm sure my future self will hate me equally for both of these decisions anyways!
Young adults must also decide their future career path before they're entrusted around alcohol. "Because you're too immature to handle your alcohol at that age," says the creepy 30-year-old dude at the local bar. We're restricted to movies we can see, restricted from driving rental cars and drinks we can drink.
If age can't determine a person's maturity, what can? Our experiences, more than anything, have the ability to shape our maturity. I've been raised by a single parent for the past few years and it taught me more about life than my supposed perfect childhood ever could. I've finally decided that I don't want a normal nine to five job at the age of 20 and it's the most mature decision I've ever made. Eminem made up with his mom after all those horrible songs he wrote about her. But without his experience of having an absent father, would he understand his mom's struggle as a single parent? Or Miley Cyrus, she finally found her own voice and is embracing her strong personality. But is this really due to her age or her experiences? If Miley wasn't forced into a Disney show in her early teen years, would she have felt such an urge to find her own voice? The earlier a person moves out on their own, the earlier they learn the troubles of being a renter or home owner. Any situation a person experiences is going to help their knowledge expand, and if they learn the right lesson from that experience, it will help them mature into a better person.
The day you decide you want to do what you love for the rest of your life, whether that's at 20 or 40, you're maturing. People can experience maturity when they let past and future experiences form them into being better people. People are mature the minute they decide they're in control of their thoughts and actions. Society isn't in control, and for the love of God, neither is your underdeveloped teenage brain. It's time we kill the maturity myth.

Why really doesn't factor into their thinking. Simply that it could happen is what has a lot of folks jumpy.
My email is overflowing with questions regarding my take on recent market moves.
Stocks are up… then down… then up again.
We've talked at length about "why" in recent weeks, and you've got a handle on that. If not, here's an article that lays it out for you, in case you're joining us today for the first time or in case you'd like to reread some of my earlier perspective.
Computerization, a change in psyche, slowing growth, politics, China, Brexit… they're all tremendously complicated inputs. But they're also potentially very profitable – at least if you know what to look for.
Which stocks can survive the storm? Puts, inverse funds, the Weekly Whizbang… tactically speaking, there are all kinds of ways you can trade current events for big profits.
The conversation has shifted, though.
Now you want to know if there's any place to hide.
In fact, the recommendation I want to share with you today may just be the biggest source of hidden profits on the planet today.
What's more, it's primed for a huge rise the next time stocks take a tumble.
Importantly, the global trading community will have your back, because they're going to be buying the very same thing for exactly the same reason.
It doesn't matter whether you're talking about a few thousand dollars or even billions.

Thunder crackles over Houston
Dan Hedman
Tulsa's BOK Center delivered on its promise…this is one helluva place to watch a basketball game.
The Oklahoma City Thunder rolled into Tulsa for their first game on Oklahoma soil Monday night; an exhibition game vs. 7' 6" Chinese gargantuan Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets. The game was also the first victory for the franchise as Thunder superstar Kevin Durant exploded down the stretch to lead the Thunder to an exciting 110-104 victory.
Just over 10,000 fans attended Tulsa's first NBA game since 5,673 watched the 76ers beat Dallas on October 11, 1996; only the fourth ever NBA game in T-town, the other two having been played way back in 1985. The Thunder will play their first official home game Tuesday night at a sold out Ford Center.
For those who thought it strange that the Thunder were actually the visiting team this close to home, the explanation is fairly simple. The Rockets were originally booked to play the Orlando Magic at the BOK, but after the Seattle Supersonics moved the team to Oklahoma City in July, special arrangements were made with the Magic for the Thunder to play in their stead, giving OKC a chance to play a pre-season game in Tulsa.
This was also the first big time basketball game played in Tulsa's sparkling new arena. This writer went in looking for the answers to two major questions: First, how will the BOK rate as a big time basketball venue and second, will Tulsa support the Thunder?
Any discussion of the BOK always starts with traffic flow and parking. Other than police directing traffic around some local restaurants, (a concern that must be addressed in future planning), there did not appear to be any major traffic or parking issues outside the BOK. Inside, the foot traffic moved very smoothly, although concession stand lines on the South side seemed a little long, especially considering attendance figures. There were short lines on the North side and on the top level, which is curious. Were people only hungrier on the South side? I believe it is because most foot traffic came in from that side. Perhaps lines will be shorter when people learn about the other available concession areas.
As for the arena itself, there isn't really a bad seat in the house. The upper level of the BOK is very similar to Gallagher-Iba arena in Stillwater, a very steep pitch with unobstructed view right down to the court. Before the game I went to the very top of the arena and found Clete Straub of Tulsa sitting in a seat on the very top row, doing the same thing I was doing…checking out the view from the top. "This isn't my actual seat," said Clete, "I just want to get a look at things from up here. " His opinion of the view, "I don't think you could see the names on their jerseys, and maybe not the numbers, but there is still a great view of the court." Even though they are good seats, at tip-off no one was sitting in the top row and only about 30% of the top level was occupied. The lower level and luxury suites were over 90% full.
As for the aesthetics, the Williams sponsored scoreboard is a spectacular multi-media work of art and there is a high-tech light ring that circles the entire middle level of the arena, flashing messages, scores and upcoming events – very cool. One of the Rockets employees who has been to arenas all over the country, remarked that the BOK is "very impressive", and that the luxury suites were as nice as he'd ever seen; although he did get lost getting there. This is the most impressive arena I have been in since visiting the old Boston Garden in the late 90's.
The question as to whether Tulsans will support the Thunder is a split decision. Pete, one of the BOK usher staff, was disappointed in the 10,007 turnout. "If the Ford Center can sell out, then we should sell out," he said. "It is very disappointing that more people aren't here." On the other hand, Brian Facchini, Thunder Director of Basketball Communications, was thrilled with the turnout. "This is more people than we have played in front of so far this year." (Previous games at Missoula, Sacramento and Oakland.) "We are very glad to be in Tulsa and thrilled at the fan support. We hope to see all of these people at our home games this season."
Head Coach P.J. Carlesimo agreed with him. "This is a tremendous venue and the crowd was great. They were behind us from the beginning and fed us a lot of energy down the stretch." The crowd was kind of up and down between passive observers and cheering fans through out the game, but really roared to life in the last 8 minutes when Kevin Durant made his big plays and leading the Thunder to tie and eventually take the lead with a minute left. For a half full arena, it was amazingly loud, which is another sign of a good basketball arena. It reminded this writer a second time of that little noise box to the West of Tulsa, Gallagher-Iba. A full BOK will rock, too bad so many people stayed home Monday night.
When asked if the Thunder will play any more games at the BOK Coach Carlesimo said, "It is obviously up to Clay (owner Clay Bennett) and Sam (GM Sam Presti), but I would love to play some more games up here. We have made it clear from the beginning that we are Oklahoma's team and Tulsa has been very supportive." Due to contract obligations with the Ford Center, no regular season games will be played in Tulsa, but it is likely the BOK will see more pre-season games in the future.
As for the game itself, the first impression was just how much room a 7'6" 310 lb Chinese basketball player takes up. Yao Ming is an amazing athlete and he made our little old 6'-10" guys look like a 7th grade player guarding his high school aged brother. The second observation is just how young the Thunder are. Other than Joe Smith (13 years), former OK State star Desmond Mason (8 years), Earl Watson (7 years) and Chris Wilcox (6 years), the Thunder players have less than 4 years NBA experience. It was fun to watch them joking around on the bench, obviously still kids at heart.
The Rockets mascot, Clutch the bear, was also a lot of fun. In a "hidden camera" stunt, the mascot posed very still and then when people walked by he jumped out and scared them. Watching startled people jump is always funny, but the best part was a little girl who came back after being startled and kicked him in the family jewels, which is just plain funny, I don't care who you are. Clutch also "ate" a cheerleader whole through some kind of trick costume, did a magic trick, and sprayed water on some of the crowd. ImageHe was laugh-out-loud funny and brought a lot of extra energy to the game. Michael Ravina, Thunder Manager of Basketball Communications says there is no word yet from the Thunder as to their new mascot, but whatever it ends of being they have a similar goal of bringing a lot of fun to the games.
The Thunder's lack of size and experience showed at times throughout the game, especially when Yao was in, and the score showed it with the Rockets leading most of the game. But the Young Thunder kept chipping away until they tied the game with 1:00 to play. The crowd kept getting louder and louder over the past 5 minutes and built to a very impressive crescendo as they watched Kevin Durant score 20 of the last 28 points, block 2 shots, get a couple of rebounds and overcome great efforts by D.J. Strawberry and Brent Barry of the Rockets to take over the game.
This was a truly great basketball experience. I went into the BOK Monday night as a general basketball fan who voted against Vision 2025 (which funded the new arena) and I came out as a fan of the BOK Center and a fan of the OKC Thunder.

FAMILIES celebrated a huge end of summer party in Bethnal Green this weekend.
Father Brian Ralph spends the whole year raising the �25,000 needed to put on the bash at Wennington Green, off Roman Road.
Attractions this year included a martial arts display, a climbing wall and a sword fencing roadshow to ensure there was something for everyone.
Music was provided by the Sikh group, Dohl Foundation, punk band Sham 69, Heavy Load and Muslim band Babar Luck.
Father Ralph said: "It was bigger than last year, It's all free to the community and it's the community and volunteers who run it."

SINN FEIN CALLS FOR SUPPORT FOR ANTI WATER CHARGES PROTEST.
Sinn Fein's calling for a large turn out at a national demonstration against water charges later this month... The opposition party wants the Government to abolish the charges as part of the next budget. Sinn Fein says the water charges are unfair as they don't take into account people's ability to pay. Earlier this year the Taoiseach said the upcoming budget will help hard-pressed middle earners. Sinn Fein Senator David Cullinane says, families and workers on low incomes deserve to get something back.
