Aladdin was a break-out hit when it first appeared in theaters in 1992, greatly expanding upon the critical and commercial success of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast before it. (The Lion King would continue this upward trend just two years later, leading some historians to call this period a "renaissance" of Disney animation.) Clearly, much of this film's success was due to Robin Williams' extraordinary performance as the Genie—not just his voiceover work, but also the way his sheer physicality during the recording sessions informed the character animation. Williams' frenetic energy and off-the-wall impersonations and references lent this film a level of humor and contemporary accessibility that audiences simply hadn't seen from a Disney animated film since The Jungle Book.
Drawing upon elements from the 1924 Douglas Fairbanks film The Thief of Bagdad, Disney's Aladdin tells the story of a young street thief who is used by the villainous Jafar to retrieve a magic lamp from the mysterious Cave of Wonders. Jafar wants the Genie (Robin Williams) in the lamp to use his magic to help Jafar overthrow the kindly Sultan of Agrabah, by forcing a marriage with the Sultan's daughter, Jasmine. But Aladdin uses the Genie's magic instead to become a prince so he can court Jasmine himself, all while attempting to expose Jafar's schemes. Meanwhile, Jasmine has no intentions of simply being a pawn in marriage… she has dreams of her own. And with the Genie in the mix, nearly anything can happen along the way.
In addition to Williams, Scott Weinger and Linda Larking shine here (as Aladdin and Jasmine), and the supporting voice cast includes the likes of Jonathan Freeman (as Jafar), Gilbert Gottfried, and Jim Cummings. A great musical score by composer Alan Menken, with songs by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, elevates the film even further. Best of all, the film's animation is bold and gorgeous, a mix of mostly traditional hand-drawn animation, lightly enhanced with occasional computer-animated elements.
Aladdin was produced using the Disney CAPS process (or Computer Animation Production System). A native 4K master was created from the original digital production file for this release at the 1.66:1 aspect ratio (which is OAR, and it's a big deal to finally have it that way—note that it was released theatrically at 1.85). It's also been graded for high dynamic range in HDR10. The good news is that the image looks absolutely terrific, capturing all of the detail in the original animation artwork. The HDR grade is very restrained—it's just enough to deepen the blacks a tiny bit and to give brighter imagery (flame, magic sparkles, etc) a bit more luminance. The wider color gamut also allows for more accurate color reproduction, resulting in notably richer hues and a degree of added vibrance, as well as a tad more image depth. There's also no edge enhancement, which was an issue on the previous Blu-ray and DVD editions. This presentation doesn't quite have the same "wow" factor of other titles on the format, but it's a major improvement over the previous Blu-ray and should be considered a reference image for this particular film. Honestly, it's difficult to imagine Aladdin ever looking better than it does here. (Note that the 1.66:1 framing results in very slight black bars on either side of the image.)
Primary audio is included in a new English Dolby Atmos mix that sounds terrific… once you turn up it a bit (this is definitely mixed at a lower reference level, like some other Disney 4K UHD titles). When you do, there's excellent clarity, solid low end, and lovely smooth atmospherics. The surround channels are used to create a satisfying sense of environment. The staging and movement are smooth and natural. Dialogue is clear, the height channels offer a nice bit of lift and overhead enclosure, and Alan Menken's score has lovely fidelity with a full, rich sound. This mix isn't exactly a dazzler, but it serves this film well. Additional audio options include English 2.0 Descriptive Audio, French and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, and 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus in Japanese. Optional subtitles include English for the Hearing Impaired, French, Spanish, and Japanese.
There are no extras whatsoever on Disney's 4K disc, but the package does include the Signature Collection Blu-ray version of the film (in 1080p HD—also OAR (1.66:1), a nice touch, and so obviously sourced from this new master), which adds:
Audio Commentary with John Musker, Ron Clements, and Amy Pell
Audio Commentary with Andreas Deja, Will Finn, Eric Goldberg, and Glen Keane
Aladdin on Aladdin (HD – 30:27)
Let's Not Be Too Hasty: The Voices of Aladdin (HD – 2:58)

Aladdin on Aladdin, Let's Not Be Too Hasty, and the Alternate Ending are new for this Signature Collection, while the rest of the extras you've seen before. But it's not a lot of material and it's also not everything that's available. The previous Diamond Edition Blu-ray (reviewed here at The Bits) included the Unboxing Aladdin featurette and nearly all of the original Platinum Edition DVD's extras too (save for the Pop-up Facts track, the Aladdin's Magic Carpet Adventure and 3 Wishes DVD games, the self-guided version of the Inside the Genie's Lamp tour, and all of the Animation Art and Publicity image galleries). The Diamond Edition Blu-ray also included the film in HD at the 1.85:1 aspect ratio. So if you want to keep all of that, you'll need to retain both previous versions. You do at last get a Movies Anywhere Digital code on a paper insert in the packaging here.
Aladdin is certainly a beloved favorite among Disney's animated films from the "renaissance" era and it's good to finally have it available on 4K Ultra HD. A/V wise, this is a major upgrade over the previous Blu-ray. Just keep in mind that a lot of special features are missing here, so this edition in no way replaces the discs you already own. As such, the 4K is recommended… if only for diehard fans of the film.

The chemical industry can change on a dime.
Chemical manufacturers must find every possible opportunity to build flexibility into their operations. Scaling production up or down based on the relative availability of key materials or fluctuating demand has to become second nature for leaders in the chemical sector. Companies that are too slow to adapt to market conditions could end up with expenses stacking up or an inability to capitalize on opportunities.
One of the factors causing intense uncertainty for chemical producers is these businesses' close connection to the global crude oil market. The many plants that use petroleum as a material or feedstocks may find their ledgers changing in a heartbeat when oil prices spike or decline.
Considering that oil prices are often affected by unrest around the globe, in patterns that can be hard to predict, it's easy to see how a such a market development might creep up on a company. Recent events that have affected oil production, as cataloged by MarketWatch, include Hurricane Harvey's damage to U.S. refineries and civil unrest in Libya curtailing OPEC output.
The recent hurricanes that slammed the Southern United States disrupted the chemical supply chain in another way. Bloomberg Businessweek noted that when Harvey struck the Gulf Coast, a large percentage of U.S. ethylene production went offline. Other producers will now be facing increased demand, and companies that use the chemical as an ingredient in fabricating PVC and other materials may have to scale back operations for some time.
When chemical producers have access to more efficient and digitized versions of essential functions such as barcode labeling, they gain visibility and flexibility that will serve them well in uncertain times. Furthermore, making these systems more efficient and cutting the costs associated with labeling product barrels - and complying with related laws - can help them bottom line when plans have to change in a hurry.
For more on chemical labeling check out our recent report on that topic.

The first major of ecological nightmare.
Sometime in the early part of the twenty-first century, cities lay sterile under steel and plastic domes. It is the only world a teenager can know. Earlier generations violated every rule of ecology and laid plunder to their country.
Somewhere, through, out there was another world. There might be animals. There might be other life. There might be death.
Somehow, Lester, a romantic follower of St. Francis of Assisi; sturdy, strong Patrick; intelligent, but insecure Sylvie; shy, fat Fay; and eight-year-old Knobs, along with Zebrina Vanderbrook would find a way out into the brave old world OUT THERE!
"It was barely light. The old station wagon, one of the last automobiles made with an internal combustion engine, stood gleaming dully in Zebrina Vanderbrook's driveway. Looking at it, the luggage carrier heaped high with camping equipment, and at the tent trailer hitched behind, Zeb had a half-hysterical impulse to laugh even as panic edged her thoughts."
This is the frightening beginning of a journey in the future, a journey too chilingly possible for us to ignore even now in the seventies.

January 4: Bald Eagle KG09 did quite a bit of traveling since its last check-in. During the past two weeks, he flew more than 40 miles north along the Rappahannock River and is now approximately three miles north of Tappahannock, VA.
January 11: Bald Eagle KG09 checked in today. The young eagle continues to explore area around Tappahannock, VA and is currently hanging out near Mt. Landing Creek in Essex County, VA.
January 18: In the last week, KG09 continued to fly 15 miles southeast, and crossed over the Rappahannock River on January 17. He is currently exploring Booker Bar, which is a popular fishing and picnic spot in Warsaw, Virginia.
January 25: KG09 did some traveling despite the winter storm over the weekend. The Bald Eagle flew across the Rappahannock River and continued approximately 20 miles southeast down the river's shoreline. This morning, the bird checked in less than a mile from Butylo, Virginia.
February 1: KG09 flew approximately 15 miles northwest and has checked in again at the Middle Peninsula Landfill in Gloucester County, Virginia. Bald Eagle BP39, another one of the eagles the Wildlife Center of Virginia is tracking, also checked in at the same landfill, and the two young birds are less than a quarter of a mile away from each other.
February 4: Happy anniversary, KG09! Today marks the three-month release anniversary of this young bird. Here's a look back at the eagle's travels during his first three months back in the wild. Today, the bird is on Plymouth Swamp, which is about 15 miles of his last check-in point.
February 10: KG09 has continued to fly northwest and traveled more than 25 miles in the past week. The bird is currently exploring Hoskins Creek and checked in about four miles west of Tappahannock, Virginia.
February 15: KG09 flew more than 35 miles since his last check-in and is now near Bradley Run which is less than a mile from the Charles City Landfill.
February 22: KG09 is on the move! Since his last check-in, KG09 traveled more than 25 miles northeast and is now hanging out at the King and Queen County Landfill.
February 29: KG09 continues to fly northwest. Since his last check-in, the young eagle has flown more than 30 miles and checked in less than a mile and-a-half from Caret, Virginia. KG09 is also less than 30 miles from his November 4 release site.
March 7: KG09 traveled more than 50 miles since his last check-in. The young eagle flew back to the Middle Peninsula Landfill in Gloucester County, Virginia before traveling further south down the York River. Currently, KG09 is roosting at York River tributary near Morris Bay.
March 15: KG09 left the York River tributary and crossed over the Mattaponi River on March 10. The bird is currently exploring a section of the Pamunkey River near the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve [CBNERR].CBNERR is managed by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science , College of William and Mary.
March 21: KG09 traveled back across the Mattaponi River and headed north to the Middle Peninsula Landfill in Gloucester County, Virginia. The young eagle then turned south and traveled 15 miles down the York River to the estuary where he had previously checked in on March 7.
March 29: KG09 remains in Glouchester County and hasn't traveled farther than 10 miles from his last check-in location. Currently the eagle is near Woods Mill Swamp.
April 4: KG09 continues to explore Gloucester County, and checked in this morning about a quarter of a mile west of Gressitt Pond.
April 12: KG09 continues to hang out in near the York River in Gloucester County. In the last couple days, the bird has been checking in again at the Middle Peninsula Landfill.
April 18: KG09 remains in Gloucester County and has been traveling up and down a 10-mile stretch between Shanghai and Owl Trap, Virginia.
April 25: KG09 has covered a lot of ground since his last check in. The young eagle continued to explore the York River in Gloucester County. During the past weekend, KG09 flew 30 miles west and checked in today at the Republic Services Recycling Center in Henrico County about five miles east of downtown Richmond, Virginia.
May 2: Bald Eagle KG09 has returned close to the city center of Richmond. On May 2, the eagle checked in a few miles east of the James River in Henrico County.
May 16: Bald Eagle KG09 left the James River and returned east; the eagle checked in along the York River on May 16.
May 27: Eagle KG09 continues to explore the same general area east of the James River.
June 20: During the past few weeks, Bald Eagle KG09 has explored the area around the Mattaponi River, a tributary of the York River. The eagle briefly traveled to the banks of the Rappahannock River before returning inland and checking in near Clancie, VA on June 20.
June 28: Bald Eagle KG09 is still in the area just east of the York RIver in Gloucester County, VA. On June 28, the eagle checked in near a landfill less than two miles south of Owl Trap, VA.
July 13: Bald Eagle KG09 has continued flying over the landfill near Owl Trap, VA, where his most recent check-in placed him on July 13th. He also flew across the York River and back, nearly two miles each way, before returning to Belleview, VA.
July 22: Remaining further inland since his last check in, Bald Eagle KG09 spent a majority of the last week at the landfill near Owl Trap, VA. Although human garbage is not a significant source of food for mature Bald Eagles, landfills may provide scavenging sites for younger eagles that have not fully developed successful hunting techniques.
August 4: Bald Eagle KG09 continues to check in near the Owl Trap, VA landfill near the York River, and flew over the town of Plain View on August 1. Open agricultural fields bordered by forested areas likely provide excellent perching locations for the eagle.
August 18: Seeming to prefer the agricultural areas and landfill site of Owl Trap, VA over tidal zones closer to the bay, Bald Eagle KG09 has not flown far since his last update. The bird has remained within an approximately four-mile radius since early August.
August 25: After leaving the landfill near Owl Trap, VA, Bald Eagle KG09 traveled approximately 17 miles north to the Rappahannock River. The eagle checked in at another landfill near Dragonville, VA, before visiting the shoreline directly opposite of Belle Isle – less than three miles from the site of the Wildlife Center's most recent Bald Eagle release! After spending roughly 24 hours there, the eagle seems to be heading back to the Dragonville landfill.
September 1: Bald Eagle KG09 has flown farther inland during the last week, seeming to prefer open agricultural areas over tidal rivers that feed into the Chesapeake Bay. After spending three days over the landfill near Dragonville, VA, the eagle flew approximately 30 miles north to the James River, just 10 miles west of Richmond County. KG09's most recent transmissions show the eagle resting in forested areas that border sparsely populated farmlands.
September 8: Bald Eagle KG09 has flown approximately 40 miles south during the last week. Resting throughout farmlands along the way, the eagle eventually checked in at what appears to be a quarry on the James River near Ancarrow's Landing -- just two miles from downtown Richmond – before heading north again.
September 15: After flying nearly 40 miles northeast from Richmond, VA, Bald Eagle KG09 has arrived in familiar territory. The bird appears to be returning to the Dragonville, VA area on a regular basis, indicating a suitable amount of food and shelter for KG09. The eagle, now just under four years old, last checked-in over a small pond bordering what appears to be a poultry farm.
September 22: Bald Eagle KG09 is back in Dragonville, VA this week. The bird flew a little less than seven miles from the Mattaponi River to its current location, where it appears to be resting in a forested area that borders a landfill – clearly visible on the map just beneath the yellow pin showing KG09's most-recent data transmission.
September 30: Bald Eagle KG09 remains in the Dragonville, Virginia area. The eagle displayed some interesting movement this week by flying roughly 35 miles in a complete counter-clockwise circle. The trip took KG09 four days from start to finish, where the eagle's last-known position is shown -- just north of the landfill this bird has frequented since late August.
October 7: In a very similar pattern compared to last week, Bald Eagle KG09 made a one-way trip in a counter-clockwise circle covering approximately 20 miles. The eagle's tracking device sent its most-recent transmission on October 3; on that day, the solar-powered battery's level was reported to be sufficient, meaning the eagle may currently be in an area with poor satellite reception.
October 14: Showing much more movement during this past week, Bald Eagle KG09 flew over some new locations while crossing into Middlesex County, VA. Beginning near the Dragonville area landfill, KG09 traveled approximately 40 miles on a path that crossed the majority of the peninsula the eagle has called home since June of this year.
October 21: Bald Eagle KG09 continues to fly in a nearly circular pattern throughout the week, and is covering greater distances with each pass. During the last seven days the eagle traveled nearly 55 miles throughout three counties, yet remains over dry land between the Rappahannock and York Rivers – a peninsula just 15 miles wide.
October 27: Flying a little less than 115 miles during the past seven days, Bald Eagle KG09's last known position places him near Little Plymouth, VA. The eagle spent most of this week traveling in a southerly direction from the Rappahannock River toward the York River, stopping by the Dragonville landfill along the way. Closer inspection of the eagle's flight path revealed that the bird has a tendency to follow the direction and curvature of streams and creeks when traveling – a large number of which are present throughout the low-lying peninsula.
November 4: During the past week Bald Eagle KG09 traveled approximately 75 miles throughout agricultural areas, tidal creeks, and patches of maritime forests. Based on similar flight patterns and locations compared to previous weeks, it's possible that KG09 is continuously patrolling a claimed territory. Released as an immature eagle at two and a half years of age -- exactly one year ago today – it stands to reason that KG09 may be reaching sexual maturity; it's thought that Bald Eagles in the wild are not overly territorial until they begin to nest and breed as a mated pair. While most eagles won't reach this stage until their fifth year, the Center for Conservation Biology has reported eagles breeding as young as three years of age.
November 11: Covering less ground compared to previous weeks, Bald Eagle KG09 has remained within an approximately eight-mile radius during the last seven days. Closer inspection of the eagle's flight paths reveals a sizeable amount of time spent directly following the U.S. Route 17 corridor. Interestingly, for the first time in 17 consecutive updates, KG09 did not visit the Dragonville landfill this week.
November 28: Similar to recent updates, Bald Eagle KG09 spent a significant amount of time near residential areas throughout this 13-mile wide peninsula. While a number of tidal creeks and marsh-like areas can be seen from the satellite imagery, KG09 seems to prefer dry land. The eagle's flight paths cover a mixed terrain, crossing over both undeveloped forests and paved highway corridors. KG09's most recent transmission places him directly overhead the Dragonville landfill at an altitude of 72 meters – approximately 236 feet.
December 9: During the past week, Bald Eagle KG09 has traveled about 10 miles from his last known position. Similar to previous updates, KG09 can be seen following the curvature of the U.S. Route 17 corridor during flight; Bald Eagles are known scavengers, and it's possible that KG09 is finding a somewhat reliable food-source in areas where smaller animals may be regularly hit and killed by moving vehicles. His most recent transmission places him about a mile away from the town of Center Cross, Virginia – slightly farther north than where this eagle has been recently observed.
December 16: Bald Eagle KG09 made some unusual movements this week! Starting near the town of Center Cross, Virginia, he made a 32-mile journey upriver into Essex County. After circling the area for about two days, KG09 crossed over the Rappahannock River for the first time in roughly ten months.
December 28: After a short visit to the northern shore of the Rappahannock River, Bald Eagle KG09 is back in familiar territory. In total, the eagle flew about 18 miles to his last known position near Dunbrooke, VA.

Q: Spatial Plot in R : how to plot the polygon and color as per the data to be visualized I have been trying to draw the county based Choropleth map in R for visualizing my dataset for the State of Arizona.
For plotting the thematic map using the polygon bases data for the county from arizona.edu (Spatial Library) and data is from az.gov
It have the following for plotting the COUNTY polygon-
library(maptools)
library(rgdal)
library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
county <- readShapePoly(file.choose())
county@data$id <- rownames(county@data)
county.points <- fortify(county, coords="id")
county.df <- join(county.points, county@data, by="id")
ggplot(county.df) + aes(long,lat,group=group, fill="id") +
geom_polygon() +
geom_path(color="white") +
coord_equal() +
scale_fill_brewer("County Arizona")

This code is not giving me any error and also no output.
My Source of Shape file here
Data Source here

A: I can't speak to why your code is not generating output - there are too many possible reasons - but is this what you are trying to achieve?

Code
library(rgdal)
library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
library(RColorBrewer)
setwd("< directory with all your files >")

map       <- readOGR(dsn=".",layer="ALRIS_tigcounty")
marriages <- read.csv("marriages.2012.csv",header=T,skip=3)
marriages <- marriages[2:16,]
marriages$County <- tolower(gsub(" ","",marriages$County))
marriages$Total  <- as.numeric(as.character(marriages$Total))

data <- data.frame(id=rownames(map@data), NAME=map@data$NAME, stringsAsFactors=F)
data <- merge(data,marriages,by.x="NAME",by.y="County",all.x=T)
map.df <- fortify(map)
map.df <- join(map.df,data, by="id")

ggplot(map.df, aes(x=long, y=lat, group=group))+
  geom_polygon(aes(fill=Total))+
  geom_path(colour="grey50")+
  scale_fill_gradientn("2012 Marriages",
                       colours=rev(brewer.pal(8,"Spectral")),
                       trans="log",
                       breaks=c(100,300,1000,3000,10000))+
  theme(axis.text=element_blank(),
        axis.ticks=element_blank(),
        axis.title=element_blank())+
  coord_fixed()

Explanation
To generate a choropleth map, ultimately we need to associate polygons with your datum of interest (total marriages by county). This is a three step process: first we associate polygon ID with county name:
data <- data.frame(id=rownames(map@data), NAME=map@data$NAME, stringsAsFactors=F)

Then we associate county name with total marriages:
data <- merge(data,marriages,by.x="NAME",by.y="County",all.x=T)

Then we associate the result with the polygon coordinate data:
map.df <- join(map.df,data, by="id")

Your specific case has a lot of potential traps:

*

*The link you provided was to a pdf - utterly useless. But poking around a bit revealed an Excel file with the same data. Even this file needs cleaning: the data has "," separators, which need to be turned off, and some of the cells have footnotes, which have to be removed. Finally, we have to save as a csv file.

*Since we are matching on county name, the names have to match! In the shapefile attributes table, the county names are all lower case, and spaces have been removed (e.g., "Santa Cruz" is "santacruz". So we need to lowercase the county names and remove spaces:
marriages$County <- tolower(gsub(" ","",marriages$County))

*The totals column comes in as a factor, which has to be converted to numeric:
marriages$Total  <- as.numeric(as.character(marriages$Total))

*Your actual data is highly skewed: maricopa county had 23,600 marriages, greenlee had 50. So using a linear color scale is not very informative. Consequently, we use a logarithmic scale:
scale_fill_gradientn("2012 Marriages",
                       colours=rev(brewer.pal(8,"Spectral")),
                       trans="log",
                       breaks=c(100,300,1000,3000,10000))+

I love Mexican food but I do not like to use all the oil that clogs up the arteries so…..I try to find an alternative way to make an entree without all the fat. For example tostadas shells are usually purchased at the store or made at home by frying a corn tortilla flat in oil. While yes, I will agree with you they are tasty , I just can't see why we need to use all that icky oil. So I tried something that I think is comparable in taste without all the oil.


The Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge's vision is for New Zealand to have healthy marine ecosystems providing value for every New Zealander. It has seven research programmes, and each programme supports the development of a new way to manage our marine environment called ecosystem-based management (EBM).
The Sustainable Seas Challenge's working definition of EBM is: "a holistic and inclusive way to manage our marine environments and the competing uses for, demands on, and ways New Zealanders value them". This definition may change as it co-develops EBM with Māori and stakeholders.
EBM, as a management approach, is an innovative way to manage marine systems. Because EBM is holistic and inclusive it is not a one-size-fits-all framework. The Sustainable Seas Challenge is developing EMB for Aotearoa (which has a 4 million square kilometre exclusive economic zone), but the way EBM is applied will vary to suit local requirements.
The EBM approach has several characteristics.
EBM recognises the many interactions that occur within an ecosystem – including humans – rather than looking at single species or issues in isolation. This differs to other approaches that are interested in protecting an individual species or dealing with a single activity at a time – sometimes at the expense of other species or activities. EBM acknowledges that trade-offs often form part of the framework.
EBM recognises the value of co-operation. Coastal areas are often used by competing sectors – for recreational or commercial fishing, energy exploration or as wildlife sanctuaries. EBM encourages sectors to work together.
International case studies have shown that successful EBM recognises the importance of and incorporates indigenous knowledge. To be successful, EBM for Aotearoa must be founded on mātauranga Māori as well as science.
The demands on and uses of New Zealand's marine resources are increasing, so we need to manage our marine environments differently than we have in the past. Using EBM supports wide consultation and working side by side with Māori and stakeholders (government, business, community and environmental groups and others) and researchers.
investigate how to foster and build trust in science and among the diverse people who work with Sustainable Seas.
stressors within ecosystems that can lead to tipping points and rapid changes.
Sustainable Seas is developing a number of tools to support EBM. One tool is different types of models, including an extremely detailed ecosystem model of Tasman and Golden Bays. These models enable people to explore 'what if?' scenarios, possible outcomes of management decisions, trade-offs and more. And yes, there will be online and mobile apps for groups to use!
Each of the 11 National Science Challenges is underpinned by Vision Mātauranga. The goal is to "unlock the innovation potential of Māori knowledge, resources and people to assist New Zealanders to create a better future". EBM complements or aligns well with some important Māori concepts, such as kaitiakitanga. Appropriately incorporating mātauranga Māori is essential to the successful development of EBM for Aotearoa. The Sustainable Seas Challenge is studying international examples of incorporating indigenous knowledge into resource management to help inform EBM for New Zealand.
The Sustainable Seas Challenge has some big numbers: 222 researchers from 36 organisations working on 40 projects (as of 20 November 2018). It's rather like an enormous jigsaw puzzle – and all of the pieces fit together in EBM. The researchers are working with other interested parties to create a knowledge base to build and support an EBM framework for New Zealand and develop practical EBM tools that will help marine resource managers to make better decisions.
The team is using Tasman and Golden Bays at the top of the South Island as a case study. Some of the projects explore marine ecosystem services, ways to protect aquaculture from ocean acidification and methods to better predict contamination risks to kaimoana, aquaculture and beaches. Other projects look at ways to enhance collaboration between Māori, communities, government and industry – keeping in mind the important role of kaitiakitanga/guardianship.
Sustainable Seas Challenge and EBM – it's an ambitious task involving biophysical science, economics, mātauranga Māori, social science, law and policy. It is bringing together groups who haven't always seen eye to eye, but that is part of the plan. Having everyone working together is essential to develop EBM that is fit for purpose in New Zealand.
Most importantly, the end result needs to be useful and practical – that's what makes it a challenge!
The 'Participating and contributing' strand of the nature of science is about students using their science understanding to contribute to their own lives and to society. EBM is a good example of this aspect of NOS in action. Sustainable Seas is consulting with Māori and stakeholders from numerous organisations. Ideally, participants will use the EBM knowledge and tools to help inform their discussions, and ultimately, resource managers will use them to make decisions about how to manage our marine resources.
The student activity Environmental thinking and planning with ecosystem-based management (EBM) uses EBM components to consider how a local area of significance could be managed, or it can form the basis for planning a local environmental project.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website explains EBM as an integrated management approach.

Prepare for walk-off, Lufthansa pilots warn
AFP - [email protected] • 25 Sep, 2014 Updated Thu 25 Sep 2014 15:02 CEST
Pilots' union Cockpit announced on Thursday that talks with Lufthansa over early retirement provisions had crashed and warned a new wave of strikes could be expected in Germany with immediate effect.
"Cockpit regrets that negotiations have failed once again," the union said in a statement, accusing management of not wanting to reach an agreement.
"Further labour action can be expected with immediate effect. The public will be warned in advance," the statement said.
A spokesman for Lufthansa insisted that the airline had "signalled its willingness to compromise" and offered to talk about the contentious points.
No new date had been set for further negotiations, however.
"We appeal to the union not to go ahead with more labour action and to return to the negotiating table," the spokesman said.
Following three separate days of walkouts in recent weeks, Lufthansa pilots agreed to postpone a fourth warning strike last week after receiving a new proposal from management.
Lufthansa pilots can currently take paid early retirement from the age of 55. They are fighting a plan by the airline to raise the minimum age to 60 and for more union influence in decisions as to how pensions are financed.

The Bedford Birdkeepers club was set up over 15 years ago for members to share their knowledge,experiences in birdkeeping and also to arrange talks and social events apertaining mainly to birds but other interests as well.
Contains news, sport and entertainment in the county. Includes searchable databases of jobs, motors, property and business.
The Sharnbrook All Stars Junior Netball Club was started in Spring 2004 by Sarah Gee . Initially Sarah wanted to provide more opportunities for her daughter Rosie to play and enjoy netball, as Sarah had done in her younger years. With the backing of the Netball Development Team at Activesport , a taster day was organised in September of that year and the club started with about 8 players.


The methods we use to learn the piano are appropriate for students young to old, so we say "6-106".
As long as a student is able to engage the prescribed process, participate well in a lesson and follow through at home with required practice, we can definitely find our voice at the piano.
All levels of musicianship are welcome at Studio 22. For those who have never played the piano before, this playing-based method is a natural way to begin. For experienced players, the method has a lot to offer that many students find they've missed in traditional lessons, namely accompaniment, composition and improvisation, as well as ways of approaching reading that are more wholistic.
The playing-based methods used provide very natural ways for students dealing with special circumstances to engage the piano. This way of learning is an amazing way for learners dealing with various physical, mental or emotional needs to express themselves and grow musically. For more information, please see the video "Special Circumstances" in Methods tab.
All inquiring students must first attend a Free Introductory Session prior to enrolling. At this session, you will visit the studio, meet the instructor, discuss policies and questions as well as experience a sample lesson.

Maryland's Jackson Dean: the Singing American dream
by Jamie Costello
(WMAR) — Some parents tell their kids to go to the garage or down in the basement to bang the drums.
Jackson Dean's parents built him an arena. Soon he will be filling arena's all over America.
Super-stardom came early and quick after he sang the National Anthem in his Arundel High School football uniform.
Jackson has been performing since he was 14.
He says, "The first four times were scary, but its okay now."
He writes all the songs and gets a thrill when the audience sings along with him. Jackson finished up at Arundel last week but still plans to go to the prom and plans on playing the Grand Ole Opry.
He has an album due out next month. But before he lives for Nashville he wants to play for a friend he never met. Connor Freed.
Connor would have been friends with Jackson. Played on the same team. Gone to the same hang outs. But Connor died 13 years ago. He drowned at a community pool.
Ever since that his mom, Debbie Neagle Free has been on a mission to make pool safety a number one priority. She wants America to follow what Maryland has already done. Making it mandatory to have a defibrillator at every public pool.
So Debbie got in touch with Jackson's mom to see if he could play a benefit. Jackson will sing for Connor Cares on Saturday night March 23rd at Blackwall Barn and Lodge in Gambrills.


Discopop Directory: What are the Kooks trying to tell us?
Here are some scenes from the new Kooks video, Always Where I Need To Be. But what the heck do they mean?
Hello! We are the Kooks. Doing musics is hard.
The song has only started, but I need a rest. Phew, readers, it is tough being a musician with carefully messed up hair.
Okay, we are back playing our song again. But we cannot look at each other because we are concentrating so very hard on being cool.
Look! I have stolen Liam Gallagher's jacket from 1996!
Am I a proper musician now?
We have seen and enjoyed episodes of The Monkees.
Hey guys, I am combing my hair! Only joking!!!!!!!!!!
We are not even in the same league as Joe Strummer.
Well, that was educational, eh? Surprisingly, I do not absolutely hate this song, even if the band are trying way to hard to say "look, that stuff about us going to stage school deosn't mean we're not a proper band, okay?"
Mind you, if we're talking indie rock, the new record by Manchester also-rans Elbow is a million times better. It's like the Strokes buggering Moby with a harmonica. IE - amazing.


The Bauer Supreme S170 17′ model furthers the Bauer Supreme series line as a stick ideal for the power player that loves to unload bombs. This stick features a new flex profile called Maximum Power Kick or MPK for short. With a lower taper integration, an amplified catapult effect is created to allow the S170 to efficiently store and release energy. It works by making the taper stiffer with a new high strength fiber reinforcement, this stiffer lower portion of the shaft combined with a softer upper to the shaft is what pushes the kick point to be even higher which helps the stick to easily load-perfect for providing powerful slap shots and one-timers.
The S170 uses a more traditional fused construction made with a premium basket weave composite construction. It also features a Aerofoam foam core and the BimaX composite blade wrap, a material that is stronger in tensile strength. This model is made available in the GripTac finish.

Basket (turco: Sepet peyniri) é um queijo feito de leite de vaca e é encontrado em dois tipos; fresco e seco. O basket fresco não tem sal, enquanto o seco tem um sabor salgado moderado. O queijo tem este nome graças a seu formato de cesta ("basket" em inglês). Comum tanto na Itália quanto no Oriente Médio.

Os italianos geralmente usam este queijo durante a Páscoa a fim de dar liga em alguns ingredientes em certos pratos. Também é um componente comum no "antepasto". Ele não derrete quando frito e pode ser substituído pelo paneer em pratos indianos.

I took this book on holiday with me to Greece last week and absolutely loved it!
It's based on a friendship of two women, both married but leading different lives and both have issues of their own. Their friendship isn't very normal then something happens which causes a stir. This a such a page turner, always wanting to find out what it was that made everything spiral out of control!
Liane Moriarty's last book 'Big little lies' was another one of my favourite books to read. Both stories really capture the characters silly quirks so well, you feel like you know them.
If you've not yet read this book yet then grab a copy, you won't regret it!

2011 MLB Draft Grades: Red Sox Clean Up On Day One
By Benjamin Buchanan@OverTheMonster Jun 7, 2011, 12:18pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2011 MLB Draft Grades: Red Sox Clean Up On Day One
It would be hard to say that everything went according to plan for the Boston Red Sox on the first day of the 2011 MLB Draft, but that's far from being a negative.
After all, they likely did not plan to draft Matt Barnes with pick no. 19. He was expected to have been gone by most in the top-15, if not the top 10. Some had him pegged to go as high as Washington at sixth overall, but somehow Rendon dropped, and things fell into place for the Sox to get a top college arm. Not according to plan, but certainly a more-than-acceptable result.
A team with both deep pockets and a deep farm system, the Sox are rarely in dire need of cheap-but-average talent, allowing them to use the draft to aim high. They did exactly that in Day One this year. Barnes represents a potential front-line starter with a strong fastball – curveball combination that just needs an improved changeup to complement it.
Grade: A | A top-10 talent at number 19 isn't a hard pick to evaluate. But their first pick might not be quite as exciting as their second.
Coming in at just six-foot-one and 175 pounds, Swihart doesn't have a prototypcial catcher's build. But behind the plate is where he plays right now, and with Theo Epstein calling him an "up-the-middle" player, it seems likely that's where he will stay. If that's the case, than it seems entirely likely that Sox fans have finally found their catcher of the future given Swihart's big bat and powerful arm. Despite having been almost forced into taking Barnes on the basis of his availability, the Sox were still able to nab essentially the perfect pick for them.
Grade: A | The only question is whether or not he can stay behind the plate—many think he's quite likely to—but he has the bat to play at third or the outfield even if he doesn't.
The supplementary picks were a bit less unanimously praise-worthy at the time, but based on the way the rest of the supplementary round fell, look much better in retrospect. Henry Owens, a lanky high-school lefty, could have top-of-the-line stuff if he can meet his projections and fill out, while Jackie Bradley Jr. once represented one of the top talents in the draft before an injury-hampered 2011 season brought him down.
Owens Grade: B+ | Far from a surefire thing, but if the Sox put in the time and he puts in the effort, Owens should be looking like a smart grab in a few years.
Bradley Grade: B- | Bradley has plenty of potential to be a good player, but the injury issues hold him down.
At the time these picks were made, it seemed that the Sox had missed out by drafting these two. Not because they were bad, but because players like Josh Bell (one of the top talents with huge power, but a tremendously difficult sign), Daniel Norris (LHP expected to be drafted top-15 by many) and Andrew Susac (top college catcher) still available. But with all three of these players still waiting for their name to be called, it's hard to fault the Sox for passing on guys who they (along with the rest of the teams) either have reason to shy away from, or expect to be around for picks no. 81 or 111.
In many ways, 2010 set the bar for Red Sox drafts, as the team came away with a remarkable stockpile of high-ceiling talents. While Owens and Bradley may not have the same excitement to their names a Ranaudo-like pick of Josh Bell would, it's also worth noting just how much more impressive the first two picks were this time around. While Kolbrin Vitek and Bryce Brentz both came as solid picks, Matt Barnes and Blake Swihart seem the more impressive duo. All-in-all, it's a good start to what will hopefully be the new benchmark.

Each year the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment offers a number of summer placement opportunities for undergraduate students.
These placements are an excellent way for students to gain experience working in a lab on a research project and obtain research experience during the summer months. These placements are particularly suitable for students who are aspiring to do a PhD.
Eligible students are those at the end of their second year (BSc or MSci) or 3rd year (MSci). This is an eligibility requirement specified by nearly all the funding agencies that offer bursaries for undergraduate internships.The placements are funded via students and supervisors applying to various external organisations for studentships. Projects last usually 6-8 weeks, full-time and studentship rates are usually £180-£200 per week. Summer project students are required to provide a one page summary of their research activities upon completion of their projects. If you're considering taking part in the GEE Summer Research Studentship please contact supervisors to discuss projects you're interested in first.
Biological Sciences students who are not successful in applications for external funding are eligible to apply for a GEE studentship funded by the Harold and Olga Fox endowment. The "Professor Bette Robson Award" is also available for research specifically in the field of Human Genetics.
Available projects and host groups are advertised in this webpage and by email to eligible students each year in December and the deadline for applications is in early January.


Welcome to Episode 14 of the Thin Places Travel Podcast. Coming up is the 2nd of two interviews with Anthony Murphy, an expert on the World Heritage Site known as Bru na Boinne or the Boyne Valley. In this episode Anthony talks about his recent, once-in-a-lifetime discovery made when doing some aerial photography. It appears to be an ancient henge.
This episode is a follow up to episode 13 where I interviewed Irish ancient monument expert, Anthony Murphy. Anthony is a husband and father of five who currently works full time as a journalist. He spends a portion of his free time examining, studying and photographing the ancient monuments in the Boyne Valley – a World Heritage Site. This Valley is not too far from where Anthony lives and if you follow his facebook page – Mythical Ireland, you'll see that he gets out quite often to photograph the area at various stages of daylight and twilight throughout the changing seasons of the year.
In July of this year – 2018, Anthony and a friend were in the Boyne Valley doing some arial photography with drones. Anthony was able to see a previously undiscovered henge and two smaller mounds in a farmer's field. The postholes were only evident because of the recent drought that Ireland had suffered. Anthony reported his findings and shared the videos with local television and by the next morning, his discovery had moved around the world – featured in the Washington Post, New York Times, NPR Radio and Time magazine.
In this interview Anthony shares information about the discovery and what it possible tells us about the ancient people who lived there.
We thank Anthony Murphy for being so generous with his time and offering such wisdom to you, our listeners.
Anthony has been a local guide for some of our Thin Places Mystical Tours. We celebrate his discovery and the what he and others like him continue to bring to those interested in the ancients and thin places.
Thank you for listening to the Thin Places Travel Podcast. You can find us on the web at thinplacespodcast.com. You can also find me on twitter at @travelhags and facebook.com/thinplaces.
And if you enjoyed this episode, please give us quick rating and review on iTunes –and consider subscribing.
In our next episode, we will feature author and speaker, Dolores Whelan who will discuss her book, Ever Ancient, Ever New.

Q: List files starting with a specific character I have a folder which contains files of the following names "5_45name.Rdata"and "15_45name.Rdata".
I would like to list only the ones starting with "5", in the example above this means that I would like to exclude "15_45name.Rdata".
Using list.files(pattern="5_*name.Rdata"), however, will list both of these files.
Is there a way to tell list.files() that I want the filename to start with a specific character?

A: We need to use the metacharacter (^) to specify the start of the string followed by the number 5.  So, it can a more specific pattern like below
list.files(pattern ="^5[0-9]*_[0-9]*name.Rdata")

Or concise if we are not concerned about the _ and other numbers following it.
list.files(pattern = "^5.*name.Rdata")


By thaliakr February 26, 2014 8 commentsbooks, church, church calendar, fasting, food, Lent, neighbours, spiritualityClean Monday, Coptic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Egypt, Great Lent, Holy Week, joyful fasting, Orthodox Church, Scot McKnight, Thomas Ryan, What's the point of Lent?
This is the third in a mini-series looking at how different traditions celebrate Lent.
You might like to start with the first post on Old Testament fasting and catch up on the second on Jesus and the Early Church.
It wasn't until I moved to New Plymouth, next door to a lovely Egyptian family, that I realised how hard-out Orthodox Christians are when it comes to marking the church seasons.
Great Lent is not six but eight weeks of fasting, including the week before the 40-day period, and the week after, Holy Week, which is counted separately. Actually, Coptic Christians (who are distinct from, but friendly with, other Eastern Orthodox churches) fast for several holy periods of the year, adding up to around 210 days a year. These guys are serious.
Great Lent is intended to be a "workshop" where the character of the believer is spiritually uplifted and strengthened; where his life is rededicated to the principles and ideals of the Gospel; where fasting and prayer culminate in deep conviction of life; where apathy and disinterest turn into vigorous activities of faith and good works.
A difference between the Eastern and Western observances is that while in the West the chanting of Alleluia ceases during Lent, in the East its use is increased.
The first week of Great Lent [starts] on Clean Monday, the first day of Great Lent. The name "Clean Week" refers to the spiritual cleansing each of the faithful is encouraged to undergo through fasting, prayer, repentance, reception of the Holy Mysteries and begging forgiveness of his neighbour. It is also traditionally a time for spring cleaning so that one's outward surroundings matches his inward disposition.
Scot McKnight, in his book, Fasting, which I've been drawing on for this series, feels strongly about restricting the use of the word 'fasting' to refraining from eating (and perhaps drinking). Avoiding Facebook or coffee or criticism isn't 'fasting', it's something else, maybe 'abstinence', he'd say.
For our church [Great Lent] is 55 days (preparation week, then 40 days Lent followed by the Holy Week). The fast is entirely vegan during these 55 days with no exception, no eggs or dairy products at all. It's an uplifting time of the year. There is an abstinence period during the day (no food or water) followed by vegan diet. The length of the abstinence is according to stamina.
This is what I find most striking about Orthodox Lenten practice – now that I've got over the length and extent of the food restrictions. There is a huge focus on joy in Great Lent.
Unlike in Roman Catholic Lenten practice (the subject of the next post), Orthodox churches don't stop chanting the 'Alleluia' during Great Lent, because Lent is joyful.
That's a contrast to the sad, grey shades I have often painted Lent with in the past.
If you skimmed that – as I often do when I hit a quote – go back and read it properly. It's a beautiful set of pictures that has changed my sense of what Lent can be.

Public reading of Scripture also increases during Great Lent, along with prayer.
Do you find any of this attractive or thought-provoking?
Fasting needs to be connected to acts of compassion and generosity (Isaiah 58).
Lent isn't a holy blip in an indifferent year, but a training step that introduces patterns of holier living (Early Church and Orthodox practice).
Lent, and the fasting that goes with it, is a community experience, where we help each other in this extra effort of focus (Jewish tradition and Early Church practice).
Easter is serious business and should perhaps provoke a serious, bodily response from us (Early Church and Orthodox practice).
Sundays in Lent are for feasting, not fasting (Early Church and Orthodox practice).
Lent can have a feeling of joyful anticipation (Orthodox practice).
Lent is a spiritual workshop where we rededicate our lives to Christ and are invigorated for active lives following him. (Orthodox practice).
Lent can have an element of 'cleaning', where we examine our consciences, mend broken relationships and even clean the house physically as a symbolic reinforcement of this (Orthodox practice).
Lent can involve increased reading of Scripture and increased time in prayer (Orthodox practice).
What do you think? This is purely my own response to what I'm reading, so I'm keen to hear what strikes you as important or helpful.
Next up is a look at modern Roman Catholic Lenten practice. I'm especially keen for your input on that – I know lots of you are Catholic and will know way more than me!
I'm preparing a Lent with Kids series for Sacraparental, and now for a few friends' churches, that is inspired by how my family celebrated Advent. Check it out here, and please feel free to let me know what you think, and what I can add or subtract to the plan.
Before Lent begins, though, it's time to party on Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras so check out my Pancake Party post at Kiwi Families for ideas for celebrating with your neighbours.
You can also see my Lent Pinterest board, and follow Sacraparental on Facebook for extra daily snippets. Come on over!
i like that a lot. the idea of joy rather than the "sack cloth and ashes" fasting is good.
Yeah, it's great, isn't it! And so new to me as an idea!
Most of your takeaway points seem pretty aligned to my experience of Lent (not that I'd claim to be good at Lent. Each year – well, each day – brings the opportunity to renew my effort though!).
There are some slight differences between the churches I think (I'm Antiochian Orthodox). So, for example, while we don't "fast" on Sundays, what it means is a lessening of the restrictions: oil and wine are allowed, which you wouldn't have during the week, rather than "feast". There are two Feast days that fall within Lent though – Annunciation (25 March) and Palm Sunday, and on those days fish is permitted.
And absolutely, fasting from food on it's own is not the point. Fasting, Prayer, and Charity are all tied in together in Lent (and yep, again, I need to work on this again this year).
Thank you for your series. It's really interesting to read about "my" practices from a thoughtful outside eye, and to reflect that back on myself.
Thanks so much for all this detail! It's so great to hear from you.
I like the gradual withdrawal idea (though it makes you guys even more impressive in the sheer length of fasting!).
I just checked out the calendar here: http://orthodoxwiki.org/Church_Calendar . I see you have a while till Great Lent begins. I'd love to hear more anytime you want to write.

Ireland 7s star Terry Kennedy ready to light up Sevens World Cup this weekend
Rory Keane
When Terry Kennedy runs out onto the Sevens World Cup pitch at Cape Town Stadium on Friday, he may indulge himself with a wry smile. There will be a huge crowd and a party atmosphere inside the ground as the tournament gets underway -- and Ireland are first up with Portugal providing the opposition in the pre-round of 16 encounter.
Kennedy and the rest of the Ireland Sevens squad have been on quite the journey.
The Dubliner is one of the 'Originals', part of a crew that were entrusted with revitalising the fortunes of the national seven-a-side team in 2015.

The Sevens programme in Ireland had fallen by the wayside, but IRFU performance director David Nucifora sank fresh resources into it.
Ireland spent the next few years in far-flung locations, moving through qualification tournaments to regain elite status. And Kennedy was there every step of the way, making his Sevens debut in Zagreb in 2015.
These days, Ireland are a real force on the global stage. They qualified for last summer's Olympics and beat Fiji and South Africa on the World Series circuit this season.

Should they beat Portugal as expected on Friday, they will meet England in the next round, with a blockbuster quarter-final clash with the tournament hosts on Saturday night potentially in the offing.
They will fancy their chances with Kennedy in their ranks.
The former St Mary's wing is one of the in-form players on this stage at the moment.

The 26-year-old finished last season as the top try-scorer on the World Series, scoring 50 tries in 52 games.
Fittingly, he was named on the HSBC Dream Team for the season -- the sole Ireland representative.
'He's been unplayable this year,' Ireland captain Billy Dardis exclaimed earlier this week.
'He is just ridiculous. He's coming out with incredible plays, he has pulled wins out when we really needed it. When a player is on form, the game just slows down and they can take it by the scruff of the neck.
'They can score when they need to. I don't know what it is but any time he gets the ball, players stand off. He looks like he has a lot of time on the ball. His pace is just electric, he can just burn guys, and makes really good decisions.'
A fleet-footed, industrious and intelligent player, Kennedy will command plenty of attention. He has developed a brilliant understanding with flying wing Jordan Conroy.
The pair have been carving it up in recent years.
Suffice to say, rugby was in Kennedy's blood. He inherited his father's name and clearly his pace and finishing ability, too.
Terry Kennedy Snr was a talented wing in his playing days.
He won 13 caps for Ireland between 1978 and '81, making his debut against New Zealand.
The undoubted highlight of his career was playing in the victorious 1979 tour of Australia, lining out alongside St Mary's teammates such as Rodney O'Donnell, Johnny Moloney and Ciaran Fitzgerald.
Unsurprisingly, his son possessed the same speed and eye for the tryline.
Kennedy moved up through the ranks quickly. Having learned his trade with St Mary's, he soon caught the eye of the Leinster academy.
He represented Ireland at Under 20 level in 2016. And what a squad it was. Kennedy was among a stellar crew including future Ireland stars such as Jacob Stockdale, Hugo Keenan, James Ryan and Andrew Porter.
The likes of Max Deegan, Will Connors, Shane Daly and Jimmy O'Brien were also on board.
His path would diverge into Sevens and that is where Kennedy has made his name.
There have been brief overlaps with the 15-man code. In 2017, he helped St Mary's clinch the AIL Division 1B title.
Now he finds himself alongside the likes of Dardis, Conroy, Jack Kelly and Hugo Lennox in a hugely ambitious Sevens side.
What can James Topping's side achieve in Cape Town?
Ireland are no longer the underdogs flying under the radar. Their second-place finish in the Toulouse leg of the World Series in May -- winning a silver medal in the process -- has placed a target on their backs.
They will fear no one in the coming days, however. In Kennedy, they have a star of the game. It's been quite the journey alright.

The streets of Santa Ana are welcoming a new member, the electric scooter.
Recently, an abundance of Lime electric scooters have been spotted around Santa Ana. These affordable scooters are a new way of transportation.
To unlock a Lime scooter, you have to download their app and then open the Lime app and tap on the "Ride" button at the bottom of the screen. Then you either scan the QR code using your phone's camera or manually enter the 6-digit vehicle code located beneath the QR code. To unlock the scooter it's $1 and it's $0.15 every minute to ride. It's inexpensive and convenient. In order to find a scooter near you, all you have to do is open the app and a GPS will appear with all the scooters in the city.
You don't even need a drivers license to ride the electric scooter.
Senior, Salvador Torres rides the scooters to and from work. Torres acknowledges that the scooters are cheap, but he tries to not spend a lot of money on a ride. The most he has spent is $8.
Torres has weighed the benefits between riding public transportation and riding a Lime scooter he explains "if you're trying to get from here (Godinez) to Wing Stop it's better to ride the scooter, but if you are trying to go to Disneyland then it's better to take the bus." Torres also adds that scooters are beneficial to people who use it correctly.
You can even make some extra cash thanks to Lime. They offer a position called "Lime Juicer" they basically collect and charge the scooters. They earn $30+ per hour or up to $100 per night. The requirements are: To be 18 years old, have a vehicle, have a valid driver's license, have a helmet for scooter driving, and to have a smartphone as the job is through an app.
Although they do benefit the community, some scooters don't live to see the next day. Some scooters have actually been torn apart. The tops are torn off and only the boards are left. Other scooters are thrown into local ponds.
In San Diego there was a lawsuit filed in a federal district court last month that claims both the city and scooter rental companies Lime, Bird and Razor have failed to prevent people from riding or parking scooters on sidewalks. People with disabilities cannot access the scooters in public right-of-way and have turned sidewalks into a "vehicle highway" where people with disabilities are at risk of getting injured.
Even so, the new addition of these scooters have tremendously helped the community and especially the current students.

The Ratings Game: Zillow stock slides to 2-year low, Wall Street keeps slashing targets amid 'dour' housing market outlook
By May 6, 2022 42 views
Shares of Zillow Group Inc. slumped toward a two-year low, as Wall Street analysts continued to slash their price targets in the wake of the real estate information company's upbeat first-quarter results but disappointing outlook.
Zillow's more-active Class C shares
Z,
pared intraday losses as much as 13.4% to be down just 3.2% in afternoon trading, but were still headed for lowest close since April 2020. The Class A shares
ZG,
were down as much as 14.8% before bouncing to be down 3.8%.
The company reported late Thursday big first-quarter profit and sales beats, but provided a second-quarter revenue outlook that was well below analyst projections, citing an "uncertain" housing market outlook.
Although none of the 24 analysts surveyed by FactSet lowered their ratings, no less than 13 cut their stock price targets. The average target for the C shares fell to $53.74, down 20.9% from $67.95 at the end of April. That marks the 15th-straight month that the average target has fallen, and now sits 73.6% below the record-high average target of $203.26 in February 2021.
FactSet
Meanwhile, although only one-third of the Street's analysts are bullish on the stock, the new average target still implied about 40% upside from current price levels.
The Street's worry is that, whatever the company's results in the previous three-month period, fast-rising mortgage rates and home prices could tip the housing market into a recession.
Don't miss: 'I think we're in the final innings.' Pimco's Kiesel thinks the housing market has hit its top.
Analyst Mark Mahaney at Evercore ISI said despite "bright spots" in Zillow's results and the company's optimism about its ability to turn the business around, "macro uncertainty awaits." He slashed his target on the stock to $47 from $84, while keeping his rating at in line.
"[S]oftening consumer transaction trends amid the turbulent housing market have led us to stay cautious in the near term," Mahaney wrote in a note to clients. "Valuation is arguably attractive, but we remain on the sidelines until we have greater visibility into newer product initiatives and the return to premium growth."
Barclays analyst Trevor Young said given the company's outlook, which he believes may be optimistic in the current market environment, "investors are grappling with a somewhat dour outlook for residential real estate" in the near term.
"This combination won't sit well with investors in this tape, in our view, and downside risks are renewed," Young wrote in a research note.
He reiterated his underweight rating on Zillow, to remain on of only two bears on the stock, and cut his target down to $36 from $50.
FactSet, MarketWatch
Benchmark's Daniel Kurnos slashed his stock price target to $65 from $115, but remained one of the Street's eight bulls, as his new target still implied more than 70% upside from current levels.
He said that despite handily beating first-quarter expectations and a fresh $1 billion stock repurchase program, investors continue to digest "softening transactional trends," and a housing market that continues to "painfully melt higher on price as listings dry up and rising rates put affordability out of reach."
Zillow's C shares have now plunged 39.7% year to date, and have plummeted 80.7% since the Feb. 16, 2021 record close of $199.90. The S&P 500 index SPX has dropped 13.9% year to date.
