IronSheep 2012: Team Rambouillet and the Flashy, Blingy Map
Continuing our series of posts from the participants in Iron Sheep 2012 (see maps by Team Lamb Chops here and Team Lamb Kebab here), we present the work of Team Rambouillet. Sadly, we don't actually have the flashy, blingy map to present, just a picture of Jim presenting it.
Team Rambouillet focused (for lack of a better description of our laser like intensity) on crafting a fun and flashy presentation of the data. We were all intrigued by the UFO sighting maps (because aliens are cool) and our professional talents lent themselves to 3D presentations and animations.
Working in pairs, two members focused on finding and processing data, while the other two worked on animation and presentation of the data. The result was an animated zoom onto a kernel density map with an embedded multimedia video. Sadly it really wasn't an answer on how to save the world (as we did not have time for much serious analysis) but it was flashy (dare I say Bling?) and silly which were the goals we had for the time limit. And we had a lot of fun doing it.

Sheep Camp 2012: Reminder to Complete Interest Survey
We're still working on finalizing the dates for this summer's Sheep Camp. If you are interested in attending, please fill out this expression of interest so we can gauge possible attendance, best dates and target our small pot of travel funds.
Do it today!!!
****** Overview *****
Building upon the discussion held at the IronSheep wrap-up session at this year's AAG, we are planning to hold a workshop (or SheepCamp) in Lexington, KY on June 1-3 or 15-17. The goal is to develop and work on a research agenda focused on critical analysis of big user-generated datasets.
Details are still in development but we've figured out the following thusfar:
Attendees will collaborate using datasets such as:
All geo-coded Twitter tweets from December 1, 2011 to the present;
All geo-coded Flickr photos; and
A measure of geo-coded material indexed by Google Maps for a range of keywords worldwide.
At this time, we are not asking people to contribute their own sets of of data although that is certainly possible.
To develop better understandings of the strengths and weaknesses of specific data sets their will be a series of pre-conference chats and brainstorming sessions with an eye towards drafting specific research questions so the camp can hit the ground running.
Events at SheepCamp
A series of lightning talks by participants (an informal research talk of approximately 10 minutes held at a local pub, research does not need to be finalized or formalized);
Skill exchanges sessions by participants on specific techniques or ideas;
A group challenge project;
Discussions on how to theorize the geoweb; and
Maybe even a keynote or two (or maybe we'll just visit a bourbon distillery).
Facilities/Accommodations/Food/Drink
We are still exploring the options on this one BUT as this is a camp, this is very much "sleeping bag on floor" territory. We think it helps set this event apart from the normal conference thing and plus it really helps with cost.
We will provide food and non-alcoholic drinks[1].
Travel (and Money for students)
Folks should plan on making their own travel arrangements and if you choose to fly we strongly encourage you to use Lexington's airport rather than Louisville or Cincinnati (which are both about 90 mins away).
We do have a limited pot of money to help with travel and we'd like to maximize it. Please do let us know if you'd like help getting here, especially if you are a student. We hope that there might be some car pooling opportunities as well for those on the East Coast.
[1] After all, we ain't stupid.
Augmented Realities and Uneven Geographies: Exploring the Geo-linguistic Contours of the Web
Mark and Matt have just had a paper accepted to Environment and Planning A (Augmented Realities and Uneven Geographies: Exploring the Geo-linguistic Contours of the Web). The paper is concerned with the ways in which augmented inclusions and exclusions, visiblilities and invisibilities will shape the way that places become defined, imagined, and experienced.
The maps above are all taken from an earlier draft of the paper. They visualise the layers of information indexed by Google and segment the data by language in order to map some of the geo-linguistic contours of the Web. Have a glance through the paper, and let us know if you have any comments or questions. The publication date of the full paper should be some time in early 2013.

IronSheep 2012: Team Lamb Kebab's Lunchpocalypse
Team Lamb Kebab is the proud winner of the Worst Map (but in a good way) - "Sheep Happens" trophy at Iron Sheep 2012. They likely could have swept all the awards, except for the fact that they actually took the stopping time seriously (unlike certain teams we could mention) and as a result didn't fine tune their maps - especially the online and interactive one. It was the event's loss, but on the plus side, Team Lamb Kebab ended up with more pizza.
Luckily we now have the opportunity to set things right by posting both the static and web versions of the maps.
The humans are gone. Long past is the zombie apocalypse. No human brains remain for feasting. So what is a hungry zombie to do but seek out sheep brains, according to the dietary preferences they might have once held as a living hipster in Williamsburg? Lunchtime finds discerning zombies wandering the five boroughs in search of organic sheep brains...
The Lunchpocalypse tool is meant to aid the enterprising zombie restaurateur in locating and exploiting key demographic clusters of organic-preferring zombie consumers. Simply plug in a NYC address, and you'll be able to see what the local preference is, leveraging a geodemographic segmentation analysis of the frequency of internet searches of the words "zombie" and "organic". Maximize your zombie profit and shuffle along with your organic herd to where the customers are! Because the dead are damn hungry!"
Click here for a truly amazing interactive map for the zombie on the hunt for lunch.

IronSheep 2012: Team Lamb Chops Maps Lamb Chops
We are very pleased to present our first team mapping effort by Team Lamb Chop! For their map and presentation they won the much coveted "What the hell is that? ("Sheep Dip" aka we don't understand it either)" trophy from IronSheep 2012. We'll let their words speak for themselves (although we might offer a bit of commentary in the footnotes).
Given that our team name was Lamb Chops[1], we wanted to see in which New York neighborhoods one would have the best chance of finding lamb chops on the menu. Our hypothesis was that, given a catastrophic event such as a meteor strike, tsunami, or Godzilla attack[2] , lamb chops would be the preferred post-apocalyptic food[3] of New Yorkers and visiting tourists[4]. Based on the data mined from Google search results for "Lamb Chops" derived via PerlScript, we were able to locate the neighborhoods in which this tasty treat was most prevalent.
Our analysis included all Google hits within 0.5 miles of the centroid of each ZIP code in New York City, save Staten Island, which presumably would be engulfed first by tsunami waves and/or seized by the Wu Tang Clan in a last-ditch attempt to create a utopic settlement called Wu York City [5]. Our results were then mapped using IDW interpolation.
Our conclusion was that the Hilton on 53rd Street and Union Square would be the two best places to savor one's last lamb chops before the world ended.
Team Lamb Chops: Muki Haklay, Sophia B Liu, Thomas Sigler, Tom Swanson
[1] Not to be confused with this lamb chop.
[2] Seems like a highly reasonable hypothesis, yes?
[3] Because nothing gives you the munchies like the complete collapse of civilization.
[4] On the plus side (for tourists at least) getting a room in Manhattan probably would be easier post-apocalypse.
[5] Which will also re-release a version of their earlier work as S.R.E.A.M. (Sheep rule everything around me).
Welcoming a New Member of the Collective... Ate Poorthuis
I'm very happy to announce the newest member of the FloatingSheep collective: Ate Poorthuis. Ate makes a fantastic addition to the collective as we needed someome to blame my mistakes on, his research interests are focused on studying how user-generated data (Flickr photos, tweets) can help us better understand the processes and places of cities. He's has also been central in our ongoing collection of all geo-coded tweets and, finally, he's not afraid to map zombies.
Ate is currently a PhD student at the University of Kentucky's Department of Geography. A recent transplant from the Netherlands, he has a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Amsterdam (also in Geography). His interests are at the crossroads of urban geography, public space and the Geoweb – subjects that he also likes to explore via a mix of coding, mapping and data viz.
He gave a really interesting presentation at the 2012 AAG on the production and consumption of tourist places, using Flickr photos and comments of NYC's High Line Park as an example. Particularly innovative is his application of space-time permutation scan statistics (which comes out of epidemiology) and can be very useful in identifying clusters in both space and time.
Prior to beginning his Ph.D. at Kentucky last fall, Ate wrote a great Master's thesis using the location of Flickr photos to study the density of urban digital landscapes and the differences between what "locals" and "tourists" document.
Big Data and the End of Theory?
The Guardian just published a short post by Mark which looks at the discourses surrounding 'big data.'
In it he argues that:
Gender, geography, race, income, and a range of other social and economic factors all play a role in how information is produced and reproduced. People from different places and different backgrounds tend to produce different sorts of information. And so we risk ignoring a lot of important nuance if relying on big data as a social/economic/political mirror.
We can of course account for such bias by segmenting our data. Take the case of using Twitter to gain insights into last summer's London riots. About a third of all UK Internet users have a twitter profile; a subset of that group are the active tweeters who produce the bulk of content; and then a tiny subset of that group (about 1%) geocode their tweets (essential information if you want to know about where your information is coming from).
Despite the fact that we have a database of tens of millions of data points, we are necessarily working with subsets of subsets of subsets. Big data no longer seems so big. Such data thus serves to amplify the information produced by a small minority (a point repeatedly made by UCL's Muki Haklay), and skew, or even render invisible, ideas, trends, people, and patterns that aren't mirrored or represented in the datasets that we work with.
Big data is undoubtedly useful for addressing and overcoming many important issues face by society. But we need to ensure that we aren't seduced by the promises of big data to render theory unnecessary.
We may one day get to the point where sufficient quantities of big data can be harvested to answer all of the social questions that most concern us. I doubt it though. There will always be digital divides; always be uneven data shadows; and always be biases in how information and technology are used and produced.
And so we shouldn't forget the important role of specialists to contextualise and offer insights into what our data do, and maybe more importantly, don't tell us.

Arise you Sheeple.....
Thanks for Jeremy Crampton for passing this along and xkcd for creating it. Beware the power of the Sheeple! B-A-A-A-A-A-A!!!!!!!
Also...floating sheep stickers are still available.....Send me your address and I'll mail some out (zook [at] uky [dot] edu). Need motivation? I think we still have an floatingsheep ornament kicking around, which we'll award to some one.
Where in the world are Floating Sheep stickers?
Anyone who attended the AAG in New York this year was likely inundated by Floating Sheep stickers. We had thousands of them and were NOT shy in passing them out. Indeed, many an attendee might now be wondering where exactly the sticker discovered in their bag came from. Perhaps they are even reading this post.
Therefore we issue the challenge to new and old readers to send in photos of sightings -- including ones you put up yourself -- of the floatingsheep sticker [1].
Need stickers? Send me your address and I'll mail some out (zook [at] uky [dot] edu). Need motivation? I think we still have an floatingsheep ornament kicking around, which we'll award to some one.
Be sure to come to the next AAG, there are rumors that temporary tattoos will be making an appearance. Anyone showing up with a permanent floating sheep tattoo will likely never have to buy their own drinks.
[1] For example, we found (by which I mean we placed) a sticker on a very extensive (i.e., crazy) rant on 57th street in Manhattan. A day later, the sticker had been removed, apparently the side commentary was not appreciated.
IronSheep 2012: First Glimpses
Apologies for the lack of posts over the past week, but we were first in the thick of IronSheep-itude and then busy trying to catch up on everything (teaching, sleeping, family, personal hygiene, etc.) that we put on hold for the event.
But to sum things up, it was a great success! Not only was it a lot of fun but it helped push forward thinking about how to approach user-generated data and online mapping technologies more generally. Over the next weeks we'll be posting a lot of material/maps from the event, the debriefing session at the AAG and thoughts about next steps.
But first some heartfelt thanks to those who made this event possible. First a very big thank you to Pivotal Labs (especially Magda Kozak) for be so unbelievably generous and helpful in providing the space for IronSheep. It was perhaps the closest thing to map-geek heaven we're going to find in this world. Also many thanks to Sean Gorman of GeoIQ who provided key encouragement and connections (although sadly couldn't attend in the end) and Javier de la Torre of Vizzuality who made the key introductions to secure the space. Thanks to all those who attended the debriefing session at the AAG, there was a lot of good food for thought/debate coming out of that. Towards that end, see the upcoming #geowebchat scheduled for Tuesday, March 6th, with a slightly longer overview of the debate outlined by Jeremy Crampton here.
Thanks to all the floating sheeple – Mark Graham, Taylor Shelton, Monica Stephens, Candice Wallace and Ate Pourthuis – who scrounged data and organization to pull off the event.
The Floating Sheeple
Finally many thanks to all the attendees who were willing to take a chance on something as strange-sounding as IronSheep. They are featured below (in team pictures) and we look forward to hearing from them as they describe their maps.
To start out the IronSheep review, we've posted a number of photos of the event, activities and participants below.

Billed as Saskatchewan's first secular conference, this event is being held at the DoubleTree Hilton in downtown Regina on Saturday April 30.
You can find out more on the Shift to Reason Conference website, but the goal of organizers is to promote secular thought and scientific rationalism over other "viewpoints" such as pseudo-science, superstition and whatnot that humans have long relied on in puzzling out the nature of our existence in the cosmos.
The conference runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and will consist of a mix of speakers and panel discussions exploring issues of interest to the secular community. Line-up information, and a schedule of events, can be found on the above-linked website.
Law Day has been held in Canada every year since 1983, and is designed to commemorate the signing of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which was done by Queen Elizabeth II with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau looking on on a breezy day in Ottawa on April 17, 1982.
To celebrate Law Day this year, the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy and The Canadian Bar Association, Saskatchewan Branch are hosting a luncheon on Wednesday April 6. The guest speaker is Supreme Court Justice Thomas Cromwell (pictured). Cromwell was appointed to the court by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2008, and is the lone Atlantic Canada representative on the nine-member bench.
The title of the talk Cromwell will deliver is "Legal Services & Access to Justice" which will doubtlessly touch on the ever-increasing cost of lawyers' services and the negative implications for ordinary Canadians when they find themselves in a legal pickle of some sort or another.
The Wednesday luncheon is being held at the DoubleTree Hilton at 11:30 a.m., and tickets, which are $40, must be purchased in advance. You can find more information here.
The Woodrow Lloyd and Nash Memorial Lectures are staples of the University of Regina calendar. Typically, they're held at different points in the year. In 2016, though, they're being held back-to-back. Part of the reasoning for that, perhaps, is that two lectures are thematically related.
The Nash Memorial Lecture is being held on Tuesday Feb. 23. The speaker is Queen's University (Belfast) professor Kieran McElvoy who will draw on the troubled sectarian history of his homeland in a talk titled "Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation: Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland". The Nash Lecture is being held at Campion College Auditorium on the university campus with a 7 p.m. start time. You can find more information on the U of R website.
The Woodrow Lloyd Memorial Lecture is on Wednesday Feb. 24. The guest speaker is Murray Sinclair, who was the chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada that examined the tragic legacy of the residential school system in Canada. His talk will be held at the Education Auditorium on the university campus at 7 p.m. You can find more information on the U of R website.
February is Black History Month in Canada. At Regina Public Library there are two events that I'm aware of that are being held to commemorate the month.
The first goes Monday Feb. 1 at Central Library, and involves a dramatic reading by Peterborough playwright/musician/actor Beau Dixon (pictured) of his one-man play Beneath Springhill: The Maurice Ruddick Story.
Without giving to much away, it is set during the Springhill Nova Scotia mining disaster in October 1958. Coal mines in the Springhill area had spawned previous disasters in 1891 and 1956. The 1958 incident involved a mine collapse over 1000 m below ground. Of the 174 miners in the shaft at the time, 75 died and 99 were rescued.
The title character in Dixon's play was a miner at the time, and was later recognized for his heroism in aiding other miners. The reading goes tonight at Central Library from 7-9 p.m., and you're asked to register on the RPL website.
The second event goes at Central Library on Monday Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. It's titled An Evening Under African Skies and it features traditional storytelling with Mary Chipanshi and Chimuka Simasiku. Again, you're asked to register on the RPL website.
Later tonight at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Nature Regina is hosting an illustrated talk by Ed Rodger and Laurie Koepke on the small group of islands off the coast of Peru that British naturalist Charles Darwin (pictured) visited during a survey expedition by the HMS Beagle. The voyage began shortly after Christmas in 1831, and concluded in October 1836.
Darwin was 22 at the time, and during his nearly five years at sea as a self-funded guest, he conducted wide-ranging surveys of geology and zoology in numerous locations in South America, Australia, Africa and many islands in between. In addition to observing living wildlife, Darwin also discovered fossils of prehistoric creatures.
The Beagle's visit to the Galapagos Islands occurred in September 1835. While travelling from island to island, Darwin noted slight physiological differences between species of finches, giant tortoises, iguanas and other fauna and flora that he ultimately theorized were due to their having evolved on isolated island habitats over thousands of years.
That insight formed the crux of the theory of natural selection which he went on to develop and ultimately publish in 1859 in a 502 page book titled On the Origin of Species. The Nature Regina talk by Rodger and Koepke goes at the RSM tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Humanity's utopian spirit, over the centuries, has been expressed in many different ways, from political movements and revolutionary communal settlements to fictional scenarios in novels and movies and even, in the case of the MacKenzie exhibition, visual art.
On Wednesday Jan. 20, Alex MacDonald will be giving a talk called Exploring Utopianism In Saskatchewan at the Prince of Wales branch library. MacDonald is the author of a 2007 book published by the Plains Research Centre Cloud-Capped Towers: The Utopian Theme in Saskatchewan History and Culture (cover image above).
The talk goes at the Prince of Wales library at 7 p.m. You're asked to register on the RPL website.


All beans extend the AbstractTDBMObject class. This class represents a bean. A bean is usually linked to one row in one table but can be linked to many rows in many tables is DB inheritance is used (a primary key of one table is also a foreign key).
As soon as the object leaves the "detached" mode, this array is supposed to be sorted from parent to child table.
TDBMObjectStateEnum::STATE_DETACHED: when an object has been created with the new keyword and is not yet aware of the TDBMService instance.
TDBMObjectStateEnum::STATE_NEW: when an object is known from TDBMService but not yet stored in database. This happens after calling the TDBMService->attach method on a detached object.
TDBMObjectStateEnum::STATE_LOADED: when an object has been loaded from TDBMService and is not modified. This happens after calling the TDBMService->getObject for instance.
TDBMObjectStateEnum::STATE_DIRTY: when an object has been loaded from TDBMService and is modified. This happens after calling the TDBMService->getObject for instance, then calling a setter on the bean.
TDBMObjectStateEnum::NOT_LOADED: when an object has been lazy-loaded from TDBMService and no getter has been called on it.
TDBMObjectStateEnum::DELETED: when an object has been deleted using TDBMService->delete.


When Aldo Bensadoun was a McGill University student, he daydreamed about one day being as successful as the legendary business families whose names graced buildings at the university, he said.
Now, Bensadoun, the founder of the footwear empire that bears his first name, has joined them.
On Friday, McGill University's Bensadoun School of Retail Management officially opened.
The school is the result of a $25-million donation from the Bensadoun Family Foundation to McGill. That donation has been followed by $7.5 million in donations from other retailers, both local and international.
He wants the school to take a multi-disciplinary approach, and he sees an opportunity for professors from other departments to teach students at the school.
"I realized in retail that you have so many disciplines, it's architecture, sociology, so the idea is not only to look at accounting and math and balance sheets but it's to look at the behaviour and how to understand and to do analytics, so that's basically why I wanted to create a school that put together all those various disciplines and McGill, being one of the best universities in the world, has all those disciplines," he said.
The first cohort of students in the school — studying in a retail management concentration of the bachelor's of commerce program — started this fall.
One of those students is Charlotte Gaillard. She said she wants to go into retail marketing and is attracted to the industry because it's in a period of transition.
A PhD program is scheduled to start in the fall of 2019, as is an executive education program. A Masters of Management in Retail is scheduled to start accepting students in 2020.


I know we are supposed to feel sorry for Lo Blacklock, the narrator of The Woman in Cabin 10. Soon after events in the story commence, she wakes up to find a burglar in her house. She is injured when he slams the door in her face, and becomes terrified that he will return. While this might be an explanation for her unstable behavior that follows, it doesn't explain why she is already on medication for panic attacks, why she constantly drinks too much, and why she is refusing to commit to her longtime boyfriend, Judah.
Lo has worked for 10 years as a travel writer at Velocity magazine. Her boss, Rowan, gets all the choice assignments though. Lo thinks she's finally gotten her chance to move up the career ladder when Rowan goes on maternity leave and Lo is given the assignment to go on the maiden voyage of the luxury cruise ship the Aurora. The Aurora is sailing from England up to the fjords of Norway on an excursion to view the Northern Lights. There are only 10 cabins on the ship, and Lo is in cabin 9. On the first night of the cruise, Lo realizes that her mascara was in her purse that was taken during the recent break-in at her flat. She decides to see if her neighbor in cabin 10 might have some. When she knocks on the door, it is eventually answered by a young woman with long dark hair wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt. She distractedly gives Lo the mascara and tells her to keep it. When Lo attends dinner that evening, she is introduced to her fellow passengers, but never sees the woman from Cabin 10.
After dinner, Lo makes her way unsteadily back to her cabin after drinking too much (yet again). Not only is she affected by all the alcohol, but since the break-in, she's been unable to sleep. So it's with great weariness that she collapses into bed. While in a deep sleep, she suddenly is jerked from sleep. She's unable to tell why, but she has a vague memory of hearing a scream. As she listens, she hears the veranda door next door open, and then hears a large splash. She goes to her own veranda to look out, and sees a smear of blood on the dividing glass. She instantly picks up the phone to report what she's just seen, and a security officer is sent to speak to her. He tells her that cabin 10 is empty, and even takes her next door to see this for herself. Although she'd just had a glimpse into the room when the woman lent her the mascara, she'd seen a room in disarray. Now it's totally empty. They go and look out onto the veranda, and there's no blood on the dividing screen.
Most people, especially those who had been drinking and were unsure of the circumstances, might have let it go. Not Lo. She insists on an investigation and continues to ask everyone if they've seen the woman from cabin 10. She continues to ask questions even when she's warned off by anonymous messages and when evidence of the woman's existence (the mascara and a photo) disappears. Interspersed with the events taking place as Lo investigates are emails from Judah and news reports that indicate that Lo is missing and hasn't been in contact with anyone since the boat left England.
While the idea of the story is promising, Lo is such an unlikeable, annoying character that I was rooting for the unseen "bad guy" to catch up with her and put us all out of our misery. She is constantly complaining about how tired she is and how much her head aches, yet she seems to have plenty of energy to drink and pester everyone. The most annoying thing (out of many) about her is her inability to speak coherently to anyone. Whenever anyone speaks to her, she begins, "I . . ." and stops to think/reminisce/reconsider. SHE CAN NEVER SPEAK TO ANYONE NORMALLY! It's beyond maddening. It's hard to believe that anyone -- boss, co-workers, suspects, fellow passengers -- can take her seriously when she can't form a coherent sentence. I wish I had read the ebook because I would have liked to search for how many times she said, "I cursed myself for my stupidity." However many times it was, it surely wasn't as many times as I did.

A first trough-like member accepts a second trough-like member in a telescoping friction fit by means of dual tracks running along the top edges of the first trough-like member. The flexible waste hose support can therefore be adjusted to the appropriate distance between a recreational vehicle waste outlet port and a sewage disposal inlet port. The support trough includes at one end a hoop which is adapted to connect one end of the support trough to the underside of the recreational vehicle, and a hooking device at the opposite end to hook to the edge of the inlet port of the sewage disposal tank. A second preferred embodiment includes a third trough-like member for accepting the second trough-like member such that the second trough-like member is slidably engageable with both the first and third trough-like members. By this, the support trough can be rigidly fixed in the appropriate configuration to facilitate efficient removal of the waste through a flexible hose supported in the trough without the need for other supporting devices, and further, be easily stored when not in use.
The present invention is related generally to a support for a flexible waste hose, and more specifically, to a support for a flexible waste hose used for discarding waste from a holding tank of a recreational vehicle to a waste disposal tank.
Most modern recreational vehicles (RV), trailers and mobile homes generally include at least one or all of a sink, shower and toilet. Waste from these facilities is usually directed into a holding tank located within the specific vehicle. Obviously, this holding tank within the vehicle must be periodically emptied depending on the size of the tank, and the extent to which the facilities are used. Therefore, the holding tank is equipped with a discharge nozzle generally located at the underside of the vehicle for connection to a flexible waste hose. The waste hose is extended from the discharge nozzle to an appropriate waste or sewer tank for discharging the waste materials from the holding tank to the sewer tank. In addition, appropriately outfitted campsites generally include a waste tank, or sewer pipe directed to a waste tank, at each individual campsite such that the waste material from the vehicle can be continuously emptied by means of the waste hose from the holding tank within the vehicle, so that the waste material need not be stored in the vehicle.
Generally the flexible waste hose will extend from the vehicle to an inlet port associated with the sewer tank a distance approximately up to eight (8) feet. Because of this distance and the flexibility of the waste hose, the hose will generally fall directly to the ground from the underside of the vehicle, and thus travel along the ground most of the way from the vehicle to the port of the sewer tank. Therefore, a problem can arise since the waste material is propelled through the hose by means of gravity. Once the waste material reaches the section of the hose lying on the ground it must rely on its momentum and the force of the waste material behind it to travel the remaining distance to the sewer tank. Because of this, the slope of the terrain and the volume and constituents of the waste material become an important factor in providing proper flow of the waste material through the hose. Many times the waste material will not flow effectively and may not even flow at all. Therefore, proper disposal of the waste material is not always effectuated.
Many RV owners have attempted to remedy this situation by utilizing boards or branches, or other various types of articles which may be handy, to create an incline between the RV and the sewer tank upon which the hose can rest to facilitate the proper flow of waste material through the hose. These types of makeshift remedies are generally not very reliable, convenient or properly effective.
Disclosed is a telescoping support trough for a flexible waste hose of a recreational vehicle. The telescoping support trough includes a first member having a substantially semi-circular, trough-like shape, and a pair of tracks on both sides of the first member for accepting a second member having substantially the same shape as the first member. The second trough member is slidable along the tracks on the inside surface of the first trough member in a friction type arrangement. In addition, a third member having a trough-like shape can be engaged with the second trough member opposite the first trough member, also in a telescoping friction type arrangement to extend the usable length of the support trough. Positioned at one end of the telescoping support trough is a bail or hoop rigidly attached to the support trough for hooking to an appropriate member of the recreational vehicle near the discharge nozzle of the holding tank. At the opposite end of the support trough is a hook member which is configured to be hooked into the inlet port of the sewer tank. Therefore, the support trough is rigidly affixed at both of its ends, and does not require any middle supporting devices. The flexible waste hose will lie in the support trough at an appropriate pitch to facilitate efficient flow or the waste material through the hose. The telescoping nature of the support trough enables the support trough to be adjusted between different distances between the RV vehicle and the opening of the sewer tank, and further, enables the support trough to be easily reduced to its minimum length very quickly for convenient storage.
FIG. 6 is a cut-away end view along line 6--6 of FIG. 5 of the support trough according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The following description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or uses.
Turning to FIG. 1, part of a recreational vehicle 10, including dual back tires 12, is shown. A flexible waste hose 14 is shown extending from an outlet port 16 of a holding tank (not shown) of the recreational vehicle 10 to an inlet port 18 of a sewage tank (not shown). Outlet port 16 will generally include a valve (not shown) and a specific type of quick disconnect (not shown) for ease of connection of hose 14 to port 16. Flexible waste hose 14 is seen positioned within a support trough 20, according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. Support trough 20 includes a first trough member 22 receiving a second trough member 24 in a variably positional configuration by means of a friction engagement described below. First trough member 22 is generally positioned closest to the vehicle 10 and includes a bail or hoop 26 rigidly affixed to member 22 to conveniently secure that end of support trough 22 to a catch member 28 associated with vehicle 10 proximate outlet port 16. Generally, member 28 will be some type of hooking device purposely affixed to vehicle 10 for accepting hoop 26, or can be a conveniently located part of RV 10 which is used for other purposes. At the opposite end of support trough 20 nearest inlet port 18, and positioned on second trough member 24, is a hooking member 30. Hooking member 30 is configured to catch onto the edge or lip of inlet port 18 as shown. The friction fit between first member 22 and second member 24 of support trough 20 is tight enough that second member 24 can be positioned within first member 22 with a reasonable amount of force, and support trough 22 will remain in the position in which it is put in against the hooking forces of hook member 30 and hoop 26, as shown in FIG. 1.
In operation, waste will be discharged through outlet port 16 from the holding tank within vehicle 10 into flexible waste hose 14. Flexible waste hose 14 will carry the waste material to the inlet port 18 of the sewage tank. Support trough 20 will provide a rigid support to keep flexible hose 14 in an appropriate pitch such that waste material will readily flow through hose 14 by means of gravity. Hoop 28 and hook member 30 will ensure that support trough 20 is retained in the appropriate position against reasonable forces.
A driver of the recreational vehicle 10 will attempt to position vehicle 10 in a convenient position relative to inlet port 10. Sometimes, it is not possible to position vehicle 10 in the most desirable location for one reason or another. Support trough 20 is capable of being configured at many angles relative to vehicle 10 and is adjustable over a substantial distance. Once in position, the driver can easily and quickly connect the support trough 20 in the configuration as shown in FIG. 1.
Now turning to FIG. 2, a perspective view of support trough 20 according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this view, second trough member 24 has been extended from first trough member 22 almost its entire length. As can be seen, second trough member 24 rides in tracks 32 and 34 positioned at the upper edges of first trough member 22 along its entire length. Tracks 32 and 34 are integral with first trough member 22 and as such are formed as the upper edges of first trough member 22. At one end of support trough 20, aligned holes 38 are positioned in opposite walls of first trough member 22 in order to accept hoop 26. Hoop 26 is generally a substantially rigid metal wire formed into a hoop configuration after being threaded through aligned holes 38. The diameter of hoop 26 can be varied to accommodate engagement with certain structures on the under carriage of any type of vehicle 10. At the opposite end of trough 20 from hoop 26 is hook member 30. Hook member 30 is positioned in second trough member 24 through two adjacent holes 40 in a bottom portion of trough member 24, as shown. Generally, a portion of hook member 30 will run along the inside surface of the bottom portion of trough member 24 and extend through holes 40 at one end. The other end of hook member 30 is bent down substantially perpendicular to the bottom portion of trough member 24. Hook member 30 can be a substantially rigid metal wire formed into an appropriate shape to rigidly secured to trough member 24 after being threaded through holes 40.
Trough members 22 and 24 are generally made of a plastic material, and thus can take on any trough like configuration by an appropriate molding process. In the embodiment discussed above, tracks 32 and 34 are integral with first trough member 22. However, these tracks members can be separate pieces attached to first trough member 22 by appropriate means. In addition, hoop 26 is shown on first trough member 22 and hook member 30 is shown on second trough member 24. These two devices can be reversed such that hook member 30 is positioned on first trough member 22 and hoop 26 is positioned on second trough member 24. Further, other means for connecting support trough 22 to recreational vehicle 10 and inlet port 18 can be used without departing from the spirit of the preferred embodiment.
Now turning to FIG. 3, a side view, of support trough 20 is shown. In this view, second trough member 24 has been retracted into first trough member 22 most of its length. As can be seen second trough member 24 can be positioned all the way into first trough member 22 until hook member 30 contacts the end of trough member 22 opposite hoop 26, or the end of second trough member 24 opposite hook member 30 contacts hoop 26. In addition, hoop 26 is movable about an axis defined by aligned holes 38 such that hoop 26 can be positioned at any location not occupied by trough member 22. Therefore, support trough 20 can be collapsed to a size approximately equal to first trough member 22 for ease of storage. Hook member 30 can be seen to extend beyond the end of trough member 24, and is bent downward to form the hook. In addition, an end of hook member 30 extending through holes 40 can be seen to be flush against an outer surface of the bottom portion of trough member 24.
Now turning to FIG. 4, an end view looking down support trough 20 from the end of trough member 24 having hook member 30 is shown. The ends of hook member 30 extending through holes 40 can be seen to be rigidly secured to trough member 24 by being wedged against the outer surface of the bottom portion of trough member 24. In this view, it can be seen that trough members 22 and 24 take on a general U-shaped configuration having several contiguous flat surfaces. However, different designs can be incorporated to realize any trough-like configuration having an appropriate size for accepting hose 14. In addition, the friction fit between the tracks 32 and 34 and the upper edges of trough member 24 can be visualized. The thickness of the walls of second trough member 24 is substantially the same as the width of the inside of each of the tracks 32 and 34 to provide the desirable friction fit. It is noted that second trough member 24 car be completely removed from first trough member 22. However, means can be incorporated to provide a stop at the end of second trough member 24 to keep trough 24 from being completely removed from trough member 22.
Now turning to FIG. 5, a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. Here, a support trough 50 includes three trough members 52, 54, and 56. A first trough member 52 is similar to trough member 22 of FIG. 2 having integral tracks 58 and 60. In addition, bail 66 is configured to be adjustable and is made of a pliable material such as a metal. Specifically, bail 66 is positioned in aligned holes 68 in trough member 52, as with the first embodiment, but further including an end member 70 having a hole for accepting an opposite end of bail 66 formed into a loop 73, as shown. Loop 73 includes a friction type clasping member 72 to maintain loop 73 in a fixed configuration. Further, clasping member 72 enables loop 73 to be adjustable by sliding clasping member 72 along bail 66 to alter the diameter of bail 66. Therefore, bail 66 can be adjusted to accommodate different catching members on RV 10.
At an opposite end of first trough member 52 from bail 66 is a second trough member 54 slidably engageable with trough member 52 by means of a friction fit within integral tracks 58 and 60. Second trough member 54 is substantially similar to trough member 24 of the first preferred embodiment of FIG. 2. At an end of second trough member 54 opposite first trough member 52 is a third trough member 56 slidably engageable with second trough member 54. Third trough member 56 includes integral track members 62 and 64, as with first trough member 52, but includes, at an end opposite second trough member 54, a hook member 74. Here, hook member 74 is shown separated from trough member 56, which will be described hereunder. Hook member 74 is generally a rigid wire shaped into a hooking configuration as shown, and rigidly positioned within a hump portion 76 (see FIG. 6) of third trough member 56 proximate an end opposite second trough member 54. Hump portion 76 is formed in a bottom portion 77 of third trough member 56. Hook member 74 is positioned along an outer surface of bottom portion 77 and rigidly affixed within hump portion 76, as will be described hereunder.
In this embodiment, support trough 50 is positionable to a greater distance than that of the first embodiment. Each trough member 52, 54 and 56 is approximately 21/2 feet long, and therefore, support trough 50 can extend up to a distance of approximately 7 feet. Second trough member 54 is collapsible entirely within one or both of first trough member 52 or third trough member 56 such that the adjacent ends of first trough member 52 and second trough member 56 are in contact with each other, thus reducing the overall length of support trough 50 to a minimum length of approximately 5 feet. In addition, third trough member 56 can be completely removed if this extra distance is not required or for minimizing storage space thereby reducing the overall length to 21/2 feet. In this case, hook member 74 can be removed from hump portion 76 by squeezing legs 82 and 84 together (see FIG. 6) and pulling downward, and can then be positioned within a hump portion 71 positioned within second trough member 54 in the same manner. It is noted that, the adjustable bail 66 and removable hook member 74 of the second preferred embodiment can be mixed and matched with the nonadjustable bail 26 and rigid hook member 30 of the first embodiment to get the desirable properties for a specific application.
Now turning to FIG. 6, an end view of the second preferred embodiment of the trough support 50 is shown taken along a cut-away view of lines 6--6 of FIG. 5. Shown here is third trough member 56 and second trough member 54. Third trough member 56 includes hump portion 76, which here has been cut-away and shown in section. Hump portion 76 includes two channels 78 and 80 which are opened to the outer surface of bottom portion 77. Open channels 78 and 80 are generally in an L configuration facing away from each other, as shown. The ends 82 and 84 of hook member 74 are also in an L configuration to substantially mate with the channels 78 and 80 of hump portion 76. Hook member 74 is generally a substantially rigid metal which has been bent or formed in the appropriate shape. In this embodiment, ends 82 and 84 can be squeezed together and removed from channels 78 and 80, as described above. By this, hook member 74 can either be placed in hump portion 76 of third trough member 56 or hump portion 71 of second trough member 54. While the hump portion 76 may be located on the internal surface of the trough member 56, the hump portion 76 may also be located on the outer surface of the trough member 56 which would potentially facilitate manufacturing of the trough member 56.
By the above disclosure, a support trough for a flexible waste hose of a recreational vehicle is incorporated to provide an effective device to facilitate efficient removal of waste from the vehicle. This trough is designed to have minimal necessary components, and further, to be inexpensive and easily stored. There are no separate parts of the support trough which could get lost or would require any type of assembly to put the trough in use. In addition, the trough is readily collapsible for quick and efficient storage while not in use.

Exploring Cape York by car, boat and on foot
Last updated . 30 October 2019
Cape York Peninsula may be alive with crocs, snakes and other dangerous animals, but it's also a classic destination for lovers of untouched wilderness, great fishing and camping, and the type of moments that make any travel story worth telling…
"You sure this boat is big enough?"
Viv Dick is showing off the lands around his hometown of Weipa, an isolated mining community flanking the Gulf of Carpentaria, around 840 kilometres north-west of Cairns on Queensland's Cape York Peninsula. We're in a little boat far south of the town, and on each side of this meandering, muddy river you can see dozens of saltwater crocodiles, all teeth and prehistoric menace, some silently sliding into the tea-coloured water as the outboard motor stirs them into the silt.
Staying clear of the wildlife
If there's water, there are probably crocodiles.
Viv decides this is a good time for a story. He's a man of rare timing. You train your eyes on every rising ripple of potential reptilian predator as he spins his yarn. It turns out – surprise! – it's about crocs. He reckons the biggest he's ever seen in his 31 years in Weipa was a 6.5 metre monster that blocked the path of his boat when he was checking his crab pots. As Viv potted, the croc all but licked his lips. Viv might as well have been Captain Hook.
"The tide was going out fast and it was getting pretty dangerous," he tells you. "So I took off at full throttle over the top of it." The end.
For more of the best in travel sign up to our newsletter!
Viv made it, as we seem destined to do. A good thing, too, because around here, you don't want to tumble out of the boat. Beyond crocs, there are marine stingers, venomous sea snakes and sharks. At least Viv and the locals above water are friendly.
The appeal of Cape York
While this part of Australia is definitely not the spot to be strapping on the snorkelling gear, Cape York is a great place to get way out there. It's so remote, it's practically another country. With the sun blazing overhead, the thick mangroves cocooning the tidal estuaries and the sights and sounds of flora and fauna familiar only through postcards.
Chugging down river with the increasingly narrow waterway covered by a canopy of trees, it feels almost like a scene from an Aussie adaptation of The African Queen. Viv, however, doesn't look like Humphrey Bogart. He's brawny and sun-wizened; a single remaining tooth appears when he smiles. He's taken us out as a special favour – there's other fishermen and guides in Weipa who will treat travellers to "croc spotting" tours of the rivers and surrounds. Viv's here to show us something a little different.
Termite mounds and wild pigs
An hour later, and a world away from Weipa, Viv ties the boat to a tree and we make our way across flat scrub spiked with bright red, two-metre tall termite mounds towards a small hill in the distance. It's an Aboriginal shell "midden", one of around 300 mounds in the Weipa area thought to date back at least 1200 years. The ancient midden, about the size of a two-storey house, consists of the remains of fish and shellfish discarded after millions of meals consumed over the centuries. It's an archaeologist's dream garbage dump; a tourist's strange and singular reward at the end of this river run.
As we start to make our way back to the boat, about 20 wild pigs appear from nowhere to occupy the ground between us and the safety of Viv's tinny. And I thought the crocs were ugly. Two huge boars start a fight, kicking up billows of dust. "I'd be a bit worried," says bare-footed Viv, "if there were only three of us, but seeing as there's four she'll be right." I stay close to Viv and colleague David Crofts, while photographer Dieu Tan bravely brings up the rear. Scrambling into the boat, we roar back along the river to Weipa, where we head straight to the Albatross Hotel. If ever a girl needed a drink…
The local watering hole
We city slickers had flown into Weipa, which proudly proclaims itself the site of the world's largest bauxite mine, from Cairns a few days earlier, and were still becoming accustomed to the stifling humidity of the place. Cape York has two seasons – the wet from December to April and the dry from May to November. Both seasons are hot, obviously, with average temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Humidity levels during the wet are extreme. Hence, thank God for the Alby.
The history of Weipa
The Albatross is the only watering hole for Weipa's 3500 residents, most of whom work for the mining giant Comalco, which developed the township 50 years ago. That's a speck of time around here: Aboriginal people are thought to have inhabited this area for more than 40,000 years. Their history is recorded orally by the Cape's numerous clan groups, who tell of significant events such as cyclones, droughts, fires and, most momentous of all, the coming of Europeans.
Captain Willem Janz of the Duyfken made the first recorded sighting of the Australian coast by a European approximately 40 kms north of Weipa in 1606. In 1770, Captain James Cook planted the English flag on Possession Island, near the tip of Cape York. In 1791, Captain William Bligh, bound for Timor, passed around the Cape in a longboat after the mutiny on the Bounty.
None chose to stay for a break. If you do, you'll find luxury accommodation, upmarket bars and trendy cafes are not what the Cape is about. The Alby has a lively public bar accompanied by the maddening jangle of noise produced by poker machines, and a restaurant that dishes up fresh local seafood including barramundi and mud crab. The recently renovated hotel, overlooking Albatross Bay, offers air-conditioned units and bungalows.
Where to stay in Weipa
There are a few other accommodation options in town, including a camping ground full of 4WDs – mandatory in this rugged country. Camping on any national park or other protected area in Queensland requires a camping guide permit, for which a fee is charged. (Details from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service website at www.epa.qld.gov.au). There are some holiday units, and the new, more upmarket Heritage Resort. Locally, you'll also find a supermarket, hospital, bakery, newsagency and pharmacy.
After the wetting of whistles in the pub we head to the tiny town of Coen, the Cape's largest settlement after Weipa, 175 kms away. The road is as rugged as corrugated iron, and our "troopie" rattles, shakes and kicks up clouds of dust. Scrub stretches endlessly into the distance. We see heavy-humped Brahman cattle grazing across the tundra and pass tracks off the main road that lead to hidden campsites and big cattle stations.
The Cape York Peninsula
Cape York, Far North Queensland – more bucket list than long weekender.
Surrounded by the Coral Sea to the east, Torres Strait at the tip, and the Gulf of Carpentaria on the west, Cape York covers a massive 150,000 square kilometres – about the same size as Victoria – yet has a population of only 18,000. It consists mainly of land like this: dry savannah, eucalypt forests with pockets of ancient rainforests along the rivers, and flat to undulating scrub. But rather than be monotonous, the Cape's vast interior continually surprises you with its variety of scenery.
Many roads in the region cross Aboriginal land and other private properties which you can't enter without permission from the relevant landholders. Access through lands under Aboriginal control is generally restricted to the main roads, which connect to various community centres. Information is available from road maps, available at petrol stations and newsagents, or the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) at www.racq.com.au.
Cape York travellers need to carry ample supplies of water and food, a first aid kit, extra fuel, a tool kit and basic spare parts. Fuel, ice, bait and most standard supplies are available at the small townships and roadhouses across the Cape, and also at Aboriginal community stores or service stations. Still, it's not a clever idea to leave your shopping for the road.
Archer River
Just over 110 kms from Weipa is the Archer River, a welcome respite from the dusty road. Shady gums cluster along the banks of the river, one of the Cape's most popular swimming and camping spots. A cold beer and an Archer Burger, a local delicacy, hit the spot, as does a peaceful paddle in the cool waters. (As a note re the beer, tourists need to be wary of alcohol restrictions when travelling in the Cape. Laws governing alcohol carry hefty fines for the unwary. You need to visit the Queensland Government website for information on alcohol-restricted areas.)
Coen, 65 kms south-east of the Archer River, is a tiny former gold mining town situated on the old telegraph line that once ran from Laura to Bamaga near the tip of the Cape. Aside from Weipa, it's the last place north where you can get mechanical repairs and supplies. The town has an airstrip, a racecourse, two general stores, a pub and the Homestead, a classic old-style Aussie guesthouse where you can get an appreciation of the lives of the people who pioneered this unforgiving region.
Built of corrugated iron and native timbers in the 1930s by owner Jacqueline Parry's great-grandfather, who moved here in the 1890s, the Homestead has a wide, shady veranda furnished with cane chairs, settees and tropical plants. There are eight spotless guestrooms in the original homestead and a further three rooms in a separate building adjoining a patio covered with a massive purple bougainvillea planted at the turn of the century. Guests gather in the old kitchen to chat as they cook their dinners.
The best anecdotal possession of the Parry clan is a piano which an ancestor hauled across the scrub by bullock and dray from Cooktown 100 years ago. The welcome is warm at the Homestead; these people have been looking after weary travellers for decades. A few more each week hardly causes a stir.
Taking a cruise of Albatross Bay
We head back along the bone-crunching road to Weipa, and the following day we embark on a cruise of Albatross Bay. Numerous fishing boats chug out from the shores on organised tours, with Weipa regarded as one of Australia's foremost fishing spots. Anglers battle it out with huge barramundi in the expansive, well-protected waterways, catching mangrove Jack, threadfin salmon, queenfish, trevalley and mackerel along the way.
Joining us on the cruise is Thancoupie, an indigenous Weipa local and one of Australia's best ceramic artists. Born in nearby Napranum in the late 1930s, Thancoupie spent many of her childhood years living in the bush. A tribal elder, she maintains a strong connection with her family's country, using her talent with clay to convey the ancestral narratives of the Thainakuith people. Her art is exhibited at major galleries across Australia and sells around the world. Later, Thancoupie takes us to one of the Cape's pristine beaches 20km north of Weipa. It's a beautiful setting, with a wide sweep of sand, and to hear Thancoupie share the stories of her ancestral people in such surroundings is a moment near magic.
Journey to the Cape York tip
The following day we head north on the 317 km journey to the tip of Cape York, driving through Aboriginal tribal lands and the massive Batavia Downs cattle station on the way. The road is rough, and we pass several river crossings and pockets of rainforest as we make our way to the Wenlock River and the old Morton Telegraph Station on the banks of the river. The station has cabin tent accommodation (twin share tents) and shared facilities (gas-powered hot showers and an outdoor dining area). At night, the world turns quiet up here, with a riot of stars performing their own celestial show.
After crossing the Wenlock you can either continue along the telegraph track, which is direct but rough, or take the longer but quicker Bypass Road. We take the old road, built in 1885-87 to link Brisbane with communities at the top of Australia. A few bent poles are all that remain of the line. The narrow, winding track is slow going, with deep corrugations and plenty of creek crossings.
A swim at Eliot Falls
Beautiful clear waters of Eliot Falls, Cape York (photo: Steve Madgwick).
We stop for a swim in the pristine spring-fed pools of Indian Head at Eliot Falls – another croc-free oasis, they boast – and, refreshed, push onward towards the formidable Jardine River, Queensland's largest perennial stream. Crossing the river by vehicular ferry, we look out for the big crocs known to inhabit these waters, and enter the Jardine River National Park, which covers around 235,000 hectares and has an abundance of birdlife. More than 300 species of birds have been recorded across the Cape, along with more than 70 species of mammals including gliders, possums, wallabies, kangaroos, pademelons and bats. Most choose to ignore us completely.
Bamaga to Seisia
Sixty kilometres north of the Jardine is Bamaga, an isolated community of around 2000 residents and Australia's most northerly mainland township. The quiet little town has a small hospital, bank, supermarket and service station. Six kilometres north of the town is Seisia, which has a foreshore camping ground and basic units – which, after the long drive, appear as luxurious as a five star hotel. From Seisia you can organise a ferry trip to nearby Thursday Island, book fishing safaris, and arrange to visit the nearby communities of Injinoo, Umagico and New Mapoon.
The walk to the tip
Thirty-two kilometres north of Bamaga is the tip of Cape York, just 10 degrees south of the equator and a mere 180 kms from Papua New Guinea. The tip can be reached only on foot using a walking track that starts at Pajinka. After all the driving, we make the 1.5 km trek along a boardwalk and steep, rocky ground to reach the country's pinnacle. It's awesome to be standing on the edge. The scenery is dramatic at the rocky tip, with strong currents rushing between the shore and a small offshore island. The place is marked with a solitary sign to tell you that you've finally made it. In such a setting there's no need for over-statement.
Back in Weipa we meet up with Viv and some other friends before winding up for the trip back to our distant cities. "I reckon Cape York is God's own country," observes the dentally challenged bloke as we watch a golden sunset from Weipa's Rocky Point boat ramp. Not everyone will agree, but if you enjoy untrammelled wilderness, the Cape will burn a hole in your memory for all the right reasons.
Cape York Peninsula Details
Willem Janszoon (believed to be the first European to spot the coast of Australia)
If it wasn't for Janszoon's unfortunate habit of walking his men into flying spears, there could have been a decidedly Dutch influence on Australia. Janszoon was the captain of the Duyfken, and in 1605 he was given a mission to have a scout around the south side of New Guinea. With much gusto he took a party of 12 ashore, whereupon they were promptly ambushed by some very territorial natives; eight of the 12 ended up with spears through them at various odd angles.
Somewhat deterred, Janszoon south and came across Cape York, some 165 years before it would be named as such by Captain James Cook. Still thinking it was part of New Guinea, he attempted landfall again and a ninth member of his small crew got skewered. Despite only having half a crew, he powered on another 450-odd kilometres down the Queensland coast before turning back. Interestingly, Janszoon wished to name his discovery "Nieu Zelandt", but it didn't take. At least not until some years later when Abel Janszoon Tasman revived it and gave it to the land of the long white cloud.
While even the remotest Outback areas of Australia seem fairly accessible now, Cape York is a true wilderness that requires huge amounts of preparation to tackle (think tropical jungles of Borneo, without the orangutans, and you're getting close). However, if you have the gear – or the money to pay someone who has – it's totally different to the rest of the country, beautiful, and a genuine adventure at the same time.

Securing Your Web Pages with Apache Page 11
Hot Server Topics
By Ken Coar (Send Email)
The htpasswd application is used to create and maintain text-based authentication databases for use with the mod_auth module. It gets the username and options from the command line, prompts for and reads the password from standard input (twice, for verification), and stores the username and the encrypted password in the specified text file. When the Apache server receives credentials to verify, it encrypts the submitted password using the same algorithm as the stored password, and then compares the results -- so the actual plaintext password doesn't live in a file on your system.
The syntax of the htpasswd command is:
htpasswd [options] pwfile username [password]
htpasswd can encrypt the passwords using a variety of algorithms, indicated by the algorithm flag on the command line:
Causes the password to be encrypted using an Apache-specific modified MD5 hash algorithm. Although no other application can understand passwords encrypted this way, they work on all Apache systems running 1.3.9 or later, and so you can transport your .htpasswd file from Linux to AIX to Solaris to Windows and have it work in each place without any changes. This is the default algorithm for the Windows and TPF platforms.
Use the system's crypt() library routine to encrypt the password. This means that the encrypted passwords will be as safe as those in the system's user file -- but they're probably not transportable to any other system.
This will cause the password to be encrypted using the SHA algorithm, which is used by Netscape servers. This is useful when migrating from one server to the other.
The -p flag means 'plaintext -- don't encrypt the password at all.' This was added because of a problem in Apache 1.3.6 on Windows, which prevented MD5-encrypted passwords (the only other type supported on Windows by that version) from being correctly recognised. Don't use this option unless you're working with a password file for Apache 1.3.6 on Windows. Even then the vastly preferred remedy is to upgrade to a more recent version; 1.3.6 is from early 1999.
The encryption algorithm used is particular to each entry in the file, so it's entirely possible for a file to contain passwords encrypted in different ways.
The htpasswd tool understands two other flags, which control other aspects than encryption:
Get the password from the command line rather than reading it from stdin. This flag is primarily intended to help Windows Webmasters, but it's useful on other platforms as well, as it allows script-based password management in a non-interactive environment (such as allowing a user to change is password with a CGI script). However, since the password appears in plaintext on the command line, it might be visible to another user in the output of a ps command, and there's no verification that it was spelt correctly. Use this option with caution.
By default, htpasswd assumes that the pwfile authentication database file already exists, and will update it. To create a new one, or completely overwrite an existing one, add the -c flag to the command line.

Interview: Lavinia, Corporate Responsibility Manager at ARMEDANGELS
ARMEDANGELS are heroes in the sustainable and ethical fashion market, and employ Corporate Responsibility Managers to ensure ethical standards are kept on top of at every point of production. This means no child labour, honest wages and the use of only organic substances.
We caught up with Lavinia to find out exactly what a day in the life of a Corporate Responsibility Manager at ARMEDANGELS is like...
What is sustainable fashion?
Sustainable fashion can be described as fashion that is produced and consumed in the most sustainable manner possible, taking into account both environmental, socio-economic and ethical aspects. From the ecological perspective, the aim should be to minimize any undesirable environmental effect of the product's lifecycle. From the socio-economic and ethical perspective, everybody in the supply chain should work to improve working conditions for workers on the field, in the factories, etc. by aligning with mutual and good ethics and best practice.
My personal opinion on that is that sustainability should be a) business as usual and b) that further thinking, sustainability is not enough. We must think about regeneration, regenerative and circular systems. Fashion companies should contribute to encouraging more sustainable consumption patterns, caring and washing practices and overall attitudes toward fashion. And we have to not only tackle the problem of our globally diminishing resources, but we also have to tackle the problem of the waste created by the industry and consumption.
What inspired you to become a Corporate Responsibility manager for ARMEDANGELS?
I slipped into the fashion sector via sustainability consulting and got to know the industry through it. I was gripped by the complex system, I deliberately say complex because it is complex, not necessarily complicated. The fashion industry is a sector in which a lot has happened due to rapid growth and extreme dynamism: global trade networks, global value chains, international division of labour - all super-exciting topics. Of course, that caught my interest first and I wanted to find out what and why there are so many grievances at all. The same circumstances do not lead to the same problems everywhere in the world and there is no uniform "best practice" solution to decorate the whole thing "sustainably". The opportunities and risks of the future for the industry are many and varied, and I'm eager to work on them. After eight years in consulting, I wanted to have a closer look at the insight of a brand. So, what you need for this is; Curiosity. You have to be curious and you have to question the status quo - constantly. You must act out of 100% conviction, want to take your colleagues with you on the journey, network, integrate and never stop thinking strategically. I think ARMEDANGELS has always been doing this and that is what inspired me to become a part of it.
Can you describe a typical day in your role?
My typical work days are always very eventful. I communicate a lot with our suppliers, prepare the audits & inspections, draw up cooperative corrective action plans; I also communicate a lot internally and hold employee training sessions, because sustainability is an integral part of our lives, so everyone must always be up to date and have an opinion (which we value a lot); and I am also always on the lookout for innovative processes and projects that have to be agreed with the various departments in the company and then tackled with our partners.
I am furthermore constantly "on-site": These trips to the different stages of our supply chain are essential and important to carry out regularly. Our aim is to get to the bottom of things and fully understand their interrelationships. To do this, you always need first-hand information. In this way, we build long-term relationships at eye level with our partners. You also have to keep checking and validating whether what we do and build together also has the impact and benefit that the projects have had at a certain status quo. We always dig deep!
We noticed a general shift in public opinion towards unsustainable materials like plastic in the last year. Do you feel that the change has reached the fashion industry in the same magnitude?
Yes, definitely. The plastic issue has not only reached ethical brands like ARMEDANGELS, but it has also reached the big players as well. Having a look at the big outdoor and sportswear brands, they have huge projects on ocean plastic and recycled synthetic materials. Besides, the fact that we release microplastics with each wash in our washing machines and eventual allergic reactions on our skin may appear, we really have to have a closer look at the aspects of plastics in fashion. I think it's going to take more than cleaning up oceans trying to get the plastic waste in our clothing, a plastic bottle ban or to use recycled polyester from PET-bottles where we only give the bottles one more life. We are not saving the world by only cleaning up. We have to dig deeper and get the socio-economic facts! It is an issue of disorganized urbanization, lack of sanitational infrastructure and adequate dump sites, the cycle of poverty, corruption, lack of recycling, bad economies that generate more waste, lack of recycling projects, lack of enforcement of laws, lack of land use plans. Climate change exacerbates all these problems. It is about redesigning fashion without harmful plastics.
Do you believe that we will ever fully stamp out fast fashion?
Well, I have to and I am. Otherwise, I would be doing a bad job. We, as ARMEDANGELS, are here to make a difference. And we are at a super-interesting turning point as we are reaching more and more people. And we are showing that fashion can be made differently at larger scales. But, the shift to a fully responsible industry might take some more decades.
What are the challenges ARMEDANGELS faces on their mission?
As mentioned before, we always have to dig deeper. The more you get to know, the more responsibility you must take. But also, the better you get. We have reached to become a fashion brand which only uses sustainable resources and which has traceability and ethical practices in all its supply chains. We will now take the challenge of the waste problem.
Are there any common misconceptions people have about sustainable fashion?
Yes, there are a lot of misconceptions. For example the perspective on sourcing countries. As the fashion industry is such a dynamic industry with players all over the world, you cannot lump a manufacturing country together. There are exceptional green factories in Bangladesh nowadays, the working conditions in China have improved significantly over the years. Furthermore, the aspect of the transport and its impact on CO2-emissions being part of a product lifecycle. The wet processing stages during production and the consumer phase are definitely the stages which have the most impact. Having ecologically-optimized wet-processes and for example, washing every 10 times a product is worn instead of every 2 times reduces energy use, climate change impact and water intake by up to 80% (which you can do with a pair of jeans).
Are there any other sustainable brands that you think people should know about?
Oh yes, there are. We have a lot of friends in the game. Especially in the UK a couple of really interesting players have entered the field the last years, like Mother of Pear and Kitty Ferreira. Then there is Eileen Fisher and People Tree, who have taken sustainability in fashion to a next level already for years now.
Finally, what is your favourite piece from this season's ARMEDANGELS collection?
One of our new denim styles: Inga Skinny Fit High Waist. This is also a "raw denim" without any treatment except a quick rinse wash, the most ecological denim we have.

Caledonian Road and Barnsbury 'assault': Young woman taken to hospital after being 'struck by object' at Overground station
Published: 10:32 AM August 28, 2018 Updated: 8:14 PM October 15, 2020
Police outside Caledonian Road and Barnsbury station (Picture: Sam Gelder) - Credit: Archant
A young woman was injured in an alleged attack at Caledonian Road and Barnsbury station last night.
Transport cops were called at just after 9pm after reports of an assault. They believe the 17-year-old sustained her injuries when she was struck by an object, but couldn't give any further information.
Fortunately, she is not believed to be seriously hurt.
No one has been arrested over the incident, but British Transport Police are appealing for information.
A BTP spokesperson said: "An investigation is under way and officers would ask anyone who witnessed what happened to contact BTP by sending a text to 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 570 of August 27."
Did you see what happened? E-mail Lucas Cumiskey at the Gazette news desk: lucas.cumiskey@archant.co.uk


This article aims to investigate the linguistic features of the "new Sardinian cinema" through the analysis of two representative films, Arcipelaghi by Giovanni Columbu (2001) and Sonetàula by Salvatore Mereu (2008), both adapted from contemporary Sardinian novels and characterised by the use of the local idioms (the Barbaricino and Campidanese varieties of Sardinian) alongside regional Italian. The two films will be regarded as intersemiotic translations, as per the terminology of Roman Jakobson, and tackling the macroscopic linguistic features on screen in terms of language variations (diamesic, diastratic and diaphasic). The translations of the two novels are interesting for the ideological and identity– making connotations, and for the importance of the cinematic medium in the contemporary Sardinian cultural framework. Since «language is a guide to social reality »1, the analysis of two Sardinian language films allows us to consider sensitive issues related to society, culture, identity, lifestyle, as well as the stereotypes that underlie the literary portrayal of Sardinia. The title highlights the intimate connection between the significance of setting films in Sardinia and the process of film–making over the last two decades.
