It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. — Charles Darwin
(Published in The Express Tribune, August 23, 2010)
KARACHI: The platforms strategy is a fairly new concept in business nomenclature. A platform is typically one that allows others to build freely and openly on top of itself. The more open and free it is, the more rapidly it is likely to grow.
Microsoft Windows, for example, allows any vendor to build software for Windows without restrictions.
Similarly, when Facebook announced that it would allow any vendor to build applications on top of its 'social media platform', it fully embraced the platforms strategy and achieved rapid growth in return.
In fact, over a very short period of time, Facebook boasts over half a million applications in active use with over a million developers and entrepreneurs.
Of the 500 million active users on Facebook, 70 per cent use at least one of these third-party applications each month. Facebook dominates the web as the largest social network, getting more hits than the next top 30 websites combined, while Microsoft dominates the consumer PC market with 91 per cent market share (as of late 2009). The platform strategy has proven instrumental in both cases.
Microsoft or Apple?
Microsoft is the epitome of a platforms strategy because not only does it allow application developers to thrive, it also has a rich ecosystem of certified trainers providing accreditation and diplomas to technicians, repair shops specialising in Microsoft personal computers and partners authorised to sell Windows software licences in their respective localities.
Furthermore, Microsoft has also lent its platform to hardware makers like Dell and HP through tactics such as volume discounts, co-branding and application bundling.
The company has ensured its success by tying itself to the success of millions of other businesses. Apple, on the other hand, missed out on the party early on because it chose to take charge of repairs itself. The company also decided to control distribution and no initiatives were given to third-party vendors.
Apple's iPhone platform is also extremely tight-fisted: all applications must be sold through Apple's AppStore where Apple frequently exercises its right to reject applications from being listed or remove them without notice. It also charges 30 per cent commission on all revenues.
Although this anti-platforms strategy has crippled its computer sales, which now comprise only about 25 per cent of the company's total revenue, it has worked tremendously well for the iPhone and iPod.
A platforms strategy requires not only inviting others to build on the platform, but also encouraging them to build an entire business around your platform.
The more open the platform, the more tremendous its growth. The Internet itself is the greatest platform upon which companies like Google and Facebook are built.

Fall 2021, Camp Chair Update
by lbdavis | Nov 19, 2021 | Uncategorized
By Todd Gordon, Camp Committee Chair
As the warm orange and yellow leaves have fallen beside Lake Shalom and the cool crisp air has returned to our summer home, there is much to be thankful for. 2021 has truly been a special year and there is already so much to look forward to in 2022. On behalf of our Coleman camp committee, I want to say thank you to our year-round team and summer staff as well as to all of our campers and their families. Because of you, Camp happened! It was truly a summer like no other and one that we know will provide a lifetime of memories to all who were a part of it.
This fall marked a significant transition in our Camp Coleman leadership as we welcomed Amy Smyler McFarland as our new camp director. No stranger to Coleman, Amy is a SEFTY camp alum, was the first NFTY-STR regional advisor, Coleman assistant director from 2001-2008, and associate director since 2015. Amy has been an integral part of the transformation that has elevated Camp Coleman to being one of the shining stars in the URJ and Jewish camping world. We are incredibly excited for the passion and energy that Amy brings to the director position and are excited for what the future holds for Coleman.
The opening of The Harris Center was certainly one of the highlights of this past summer. Even though we were not able to use the building to its full capacity, we were able to see the incredible impact that a modern, state-of-the-art facility makes for camp. Continuing to enhance and expand our facility is a significant part of the overall Coleman strategic plan. We have "shovel-ready" plans for phase 2 of the Harris Center and are currently awaiting renderings for new staff & faculty housing as well as a redesigned Machon leadership village. In 2022, we will be embarking on a capital campaign to secure the necessary funds to move forward with these exciting projects.
2022 will be the 60th summer for Camp Coleman and we will be celebrating throughout the year and across our region. Camp style Friday night services and Saturday evening Havdalah events are being planned for February 4-5 in South Florida, April 22-23 in Atlanta, and November 18-19 in the Tampa area. We will continue to celebrate Coleman's 60th with our current campers and staff over the summer, followed by an alumni celebration at camp on August 12-14, a 70's alumni reunion August 26-28, and the return of Family Camp September 2-5. If you are interested in being a part of the Coleman 60th celebration planning, please send an e-mail to campcoleman@urj.org.
Wishing all of our Camp Coleman family a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We all truly have so much to be thankful for.

The lowdown on Google's "Alphabet" restructuring; Sundar Pichai now CEO of Google
First up: this is not a joke.
Google is now becoming a part of a holding company called Alphabet, which will have Larry Page as CEO and Sergey Brin as President. Sundar Pichai will now be the CEO of Google. Both Microsoft and Google now have Indian-born CEOs. Eric Schmidt will become Executive Chairman of Alphabet.
Pichai joined Google in 2004, and, prior to his current role, served as Google's SVP of Android, Chrome and Apps. Sundar has a B.Tech. (Hons.) from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, a M.S. from Stanford University, and an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Read a Q&A with Pichai when he was in India last year, where he talks about developing for mobile, Voice & Google Now, standardization of Android
1. Why is this happening?
a. Addressing possible future anti-trust issues: Google is a conglomerate and its scale is such that it is involved in many projects which are leading in their own segment (Search, Maps, YouTube, Chrome, Android), some of which are facing anti-trust challenges: there was always search, and now Android is also being investigated in the European Union. While at present these businesses will remain a part of Google, in case there is any anti-trust action pushing for the split of Google into separate companies, it will allow Alphabet to neatly fit these businesses under the Alphabet umbrella as independent businesses, and even say that that was always a part of the plan.
Note that there are potential anti-trust issues being investigated with Google search in India, and a report is expected shortly.
b. More freedom to grow each project separately: Page says in his blog post, that companies tend to get comfortable with doing the same thing and just making incremental changes, and "in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant."
2. Which projects are a part of Alphabet?
So far, the website hasn't got enough information, but Page's blog post suggests that, for now, Alphabet includes:
– Life Sciences (that works on the glucose-sensing contact lens)
– Calico (focused on longevity)
– Google X lab, "which incubates new efforts like Wing, our drone delivery effort".
– The investment arms: Google Ventures and Google Capital
– Nest
3. Which projects are a part of Google?
– ads
– apps
4. How will this work?
There will be a CEO for each business, with Brin and Page handling capital allocation and working to make sure each business is executing well. In terms of quarterly disclosures, Google financials will be provided separately from those of the rest of the Alphabet businesses.
The company says: "Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG."
Changes in roles
– Larry Page will become the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Alphabet
– Sergey Brin will become the President of Alphabet
– Eric E. Schmidt will become the Executive Chairman of Alphabet
– Ruth Porat will become the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Alphabet and CFO of Google
– David C. Drummond will become the Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of Alphabet
– Omid Kordestani will transition from his role as Google's Chief Business Officer to become an Advisor to Alphabet and Google.

Why do we use 'Moana Oceania' and not 'Pacific'? The name Pacific was given to this region by a Portuguese explorer almost 500 years ago and, with its transliteration Pasifika, is still used. In Aotearoa New Zealand and other island nations, such as the Cook Islands, Hawai'i, Sāmoa and Tonga, 'moana' means ocean or vast space. For this reason it has relevance for Aotearoa New Zealand – an island nation with ancestral links to the wider Moana. Oceania is also a foreign name, first popularised in the early 19th century, and is today a common alternative for Pacific because it suggests a sea of islands connected to each other. The phrase 'Moana Oceania', then, empowers and privileges Indigenous perspectives, which are strongly connected to Aotearoa and share roots with the wider Moana Oceania.
Paul Tangata, of Cook Islands heritage, and Teuane Tibbo, of Sāmoan heritage, were the first Moana Oceania artists to exhibit frequently in Auckland. In the generations since their pioneering work, this city has become home to many more artists and their creativity has become one this region's emblems and helped shaped our region's identity. Seeing Moana Oceania presents key works by artists who affirm their diverse Moana Oceania cultures within contemporary art practice. These artists look forward in time to a culturally rich and diverse Aotearoa New Zealand.
He aha e kii ai te kōrero 'Moana Oceania', auare ake te kupu 'Pacific'? Ka tapaina tōna ingoa Pacific ki te takiwā nei e tētahi kaihōpara nō Pōtukihi, ahakoa kua taka te rima rau tau, ka kiia tonutia tōna ingoa whakawhiti 'Pasifika'. I Aotearoa Niu Tīreni, me ngā moutere o te Moana nui a Kiwa, arā, ko Ngā Kuki Airini, ko Hawai'i, ko Hāmoa me Tonga, he ōrite tonu te whakamārama o te kupu 'moana' i waenganui i ēnei iwi katoa. Nā konā, he mea nui ki Aotearoa Niu Tīreni – arā he whenua kura e whakapapa ana ki ngā moutere maha o te Moana nui a Kiwa. Waihoki, he tauhou te ingoa 'Oceania', ka rongonuitia tuatahitia i te timatanga o te rau tau 19th, i ēnei rā kua rata ake tēnā i te ingoa Pacific, nā te mea, e kōreronui ana te ingoa 'Oceania' mō te tātai hono o ngā moutere katoa.Nā konā, ko te rerenga kōrero 'Moana Oceania' tētahi kōrero e mana ai te iwitaketaketanga o te whakaaro, me te tūhonohono o Aotearoa ki ngā iwi taketake puta noa i te whānuitanga o Moana Oceania.
Ko Paul Tangata nō Kuki Airini, rāuatahi ko Teuane Tibbo nō Hāmoa ngā ringatoi tuatahi o Moana Oceania i whakaatu anō ai i Ākarana. Mai rā anō i para ai te huarahi, kua huri tēnei taonenui hei tūrangawaewae mō te tini me te mano o ngā ringatoi, ka whakanuia ō rātou auahatanga hei tohu whakatamarahi, hei tārai i te tuakiritanga o te wāhi nei. Ko He Kitenga Aumoana: He ngaru hou ka whārikihia ngā mahi toi a ngā ringa toi ko rātou anō e whakanui ana i te kanorau o Moana Oceania i roto i ngā mahi toi hou. Ka anga whakamua ngā ringa toi nei ki tētahi wā heke, ko Aotearoa Niu Tīreni tētahi whenua whakaaro nui ki ngā tikanga o tēna o tēnā iwi.

Brexit: Labour urges May to ditch deal and seek fresh approach
Dominic Grieve says in Commons he has never felt so ashamed to be a Conservative

Labour has called on Theresa May to stop trying to force her Brexit deal through the House of Commons and instead work with other parties to find a compromise plan. Opening an emergency Brexit debate on Wednesday, Labour's shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer said the UK prime minister was threatening MPs with leaving the EU without a deal.
"We have to find a way through this impasse, and that requires us to come together as a House to consider and vote on the options and to provide a process for that. It is not helpful to put the deal, which has already been rejected, over and over with differing threats. Having accepted a motion last week to take no deal off the table, the prime minister is now trying to put no deal back on the table within a week by just changing the date of no deal, so that she can again ram the deal up against the deadline with the old 'my deal or no deal' response," he said.
In her letter to European Council president Donald Tusk, the prime minister blamed speaker John Bercow for preventing a vote on her Brexit deal this week by ruling that MPs could vote on it again only if it had been changed. She said she would, however, put the deal to another vote next week.
"In advance of that vote I would be grateful if the European Council could therefore approve the supplementary documents that President Juncker and I agreed in Strasbourg, putting the government in a position to bring these agreements to the House and confirming the changes to the government's proposition to parliament. I also intend to bring forward further domestic proposals that confirm my previous commitments to protect our internal market, given the concerns expressed about the backstop," she said.

DUP negotiations
The government has been negotiating with the DUP a package of measures including a legal guarantee that Northern Ireland would not be required to diverge from the rest of the UK in regulations without the approval of the Stormont institutions. Downing Street said the negotiations were continuing but DUP sources were not expecting a breakthrough in the next few days.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn walked out of a meeting the prime minister convened with opposition party leaders on Wednesday night, apparently because former Labour MP Chuka Umunna was there representing the Independent Group. The leaders of the SNP, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Greens later issued a joint statement calling for Brexit to be cancelled through a revocation of article 50 rather than leaving the EU without a deal.
Mrs May's request for a short extension angered both the Brexiteers and remainers in her own party and former attorney general Dominic Grieve said he had never felt so ashamed to be a Conservative.
"When my right honourable friend the prime minister came to the despatch box today at prime minister's questions, I confess I think it was the worst moment I have experienced since I came into the House of Commons. I have never felt more ashamed to be a member of the Conservative Party, or to be asked to lend her my support," he said during the emergency debate.
"I have great sympathy for her, I have known her for many years ... but I have to say, I could have wept. Wept at her being reduced to these straits and wept to see her zig-zagging all over the place, rather than standing up for what is in the national interest."

Two new K-9 units join university police department
Connor McCarthy
Video by Allison Royal and Ayrton Ostly
After months of fundraising and training, the University Police Department (UPD) has two new K-9 units to add to their force.
UPD held a fundraiser in the beginning of the year to raise money for the dogs. It costs $80,000 for a K-9 unit, which includes a customized K-9 car, training for the dog and officer, food, veterinary costs and housing for the dog. As a result of donations, the department was able to receive one five and one two-year-old german shepherd. These dogs are trained to have many search skills.
"It'll be a patrol dog and then we are also going to train it in tracking," UPD Chief of Police George Hughes said. "We can also train it in drugs and bomb sniffing."
The five-year-old K-9, Xello, already has a history of tracking. His handler, officer Stephanie Pipan, said that over the past five years, Xello has found numerous children and elderly people who were missing.
"He can track on asphalt, concrete, or anything that is hard surface," Pipan said. "A lot of dogs have a hard time with it. You have to be fully trained."
UPD had been using dogs as part of their patrols in the past, but these K-9s were borrowed for the San Luis Obispo Police Department and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's department. In January when there was a bomb scare on the city buses, Hughes said the department had to borrow resources. Having trained K-9 units within UPD will help in situations like this.
Yet these K-9s are not just police dogs, Pipan said. They are also community dogs.
"They are not just for the students and faculty," Pipan said. "They're great protectors for all of us. The tracking is a great service for all of us."
The other K-9 unit, including two-year-old Brizaunt, just started as a tracking unit. He and his handling officer just arrived from training in Germany. Xello, on the other hand, worked in the Morro Bay Police Department for five years before Pipan transferred to UPD. Pipan has been Xello's handler for his whole career and she is happy to be part of it.
"So this is probably the best job I've ever had," Pipan said. "I've always wanted to be a K-9 officer. Having a K-9 is the best job ever."

Digital signage content
The importance of creating the right content
The digital signage industry is flourishing, with its global value forecast to reach $31.71 billion by 2025. But are retailers seeing a return on their investment?
It's easy to be seduced by technology. Digital screens are the public-facing element of an often bewildering world that includes AI, facial recognition, and big data.
But behind every successful digital sign is a good old-fashioned content strategy. It brings together the different technological elements to create content that deepens engagement with customers, strengthens brand loyalty, increases footfall and ultimately, drives sales.
Your content strategy
Digital screens aren't magic: they can only achieve so much. You need to decide what those objectives should be and how you'll measure them – for example, downloads or sales. Then you can design content to match.
But remember: less can be more. Carefully positioned screens showing well-chosen content will engage your customers far better than bombarding them with messages on multiple displays.
Increasingly, the aim is to create an ambient experience where screens add value across all stages of the customer journey.
Tailor your message
At its simplest level, digital signage can simply be connected to a playlist of great images stored either locally or in the cloud. But there's so much more you can do to make it resonate with your audience.
There's the potential to incorporate AI facial recognition technology to customise content according to the age and gender of the viewer. If integrated with data collection, such as loyalty cards, signs can display messages tailored to each customer, like special offers for clothes similar to those they've previously purchased.
Provide local information
Of course, you want to inform your customers about your products. But don't limit yourself to advertising: you can provide up-to-date stock information local to that store, encouraging customers to buy.
You can also provide relevant local information such as weather reports or traffic updates: a recent survey found that 48% of respondents would appreciate the former, while 38% would find the latter helpful. Those aged 55+ were likely to value this type of information, making it a possible route to increasing brand loyalty among an older demographic.
Make it interactive
Automotive sales are one area where digital signage is really speeding ahead. Digital screens can be used not only to display car adverts but also to enable customers to explore customisation options using touchscreens. That inspires customers and saves valuable showroom space.
Downloadable content is another area of interest, particularly among younger consumers. A recent survey found that 43% of those aged 18-34 would download a retail voucher from a website accessed via a digital poster, while 29% of 18-24-year-olds would download a clip of a movie, a game or music.
Above all, interactivity should enable people to buy direct – perhaps even through voice-assisted technology such as Alexa.
Make it real-time and dynamic
Ever see shop assistants stickering up reduced produce at the end of the day? Digital displays could soon replace static pricing information on the edge of shelves.
These digital displays would be controlled centrally, able to drop prices on produce nearing its sell-by date or to match those of competitors. They could also feature customer reviews or recommend complementary products.
Digital displays might also pull content from other sources such as a Twitter feed, enabling viewers to follow – or even join – a conversation about the brand.
Digital signage – the future
As technology develops, the possibilities for digital signage seem endless. But what really counts is the thinking behind the screens, and the integration with other strategies and systems, such as customer relationship management and loyalty schemes.

Dave Plotkin won't be in the Guinness Book of World Records, at least not yet.
According to the AP, the 25-year-old college disc jockey in Florida who thought he had set a world record for the longest continuous radio broadcast apparently fell 10 hours short. He got the word from Guinness.
The broadcast was 110 hours, three minutes, broadcast on Rollins College's WPRK(FM) in January.
Guinness says a Sri Lankan man, Arulanantham Suresh Joachim, stayed on the air 120 hours in 2003, but its records had not been updated. According to AP, Guinness said it took a year and a half to complete the documentation and update its database.
Plotkin said the station has raised $17,000 so far and he hopes to shoot for 144 hours by next year. "It was the most fun I ever had," he said.

It's pleasing to see a big drama import that's not been snapped up by Sky. This superb psychological thriller numbers Barack Obama among its fans and won Best Drama Series at last month's Golden Globe awards. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (brilliant British actor Damian Lewis) is rescued from captivity in Afghanistan, eight years after going missing in action, presumed dead. He's spent the time not just cultivating an impressive beard, but being brutally tortured and held captive down a hole. Traumatised, he returns to a hero's welcome and an emotional reunion with his family.
However, CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes, who scooped the Golden Globe for Best Actress) suspects Brody has been "turned" and is secretly working for al-Qaeda, posing a major terrorist threat. Her unorthodox methods and erratic conduct mean no-one believes her controversial theory – not her boss (another Brit, David Harewood) nor her mentor (Mandy Patinkin) – so Mathison must go rogue and investigate alone. What unfolds is a gripping game of cat and mouse that's more cerebral than 24, bigger in scale than Spooks and with the political intrigue of The West Wing.


Opened just a few years ago, the route is part of National Cycle Route 13 and leaves the road at Purfleet, where it passes through the RSPB reserve of Rainham Marshes, which was once an MOD firing range and seems to include parts of which include and Aveley and Wennington Marshes. It then skirts between the Thames and the poetically-named Rainham Integrated Waste Management Facility, before arriving eventually at Rainham Barge Graveyard and then providing an off-road route to Rainham, including a special bridge over the HS1 railway line. It's flat, almost exclusively traffic-free and well worth making the journey for, especially on a nice day.


To perform a historical record of Beijers Park's development to date is about securing the tracks back in time. The historical record about the park tells not only the history of the park but the city, district, local residents and art of gardening. As the historical story is documented the necessary base for establishment of any care plans in the future and the base for cultural and historical value the park is made. Beijers park can in such work be treated alone or as part of the context of parks that were built during the same era in Malmö's history.
Beijers park origin from the era of the late 1800s, when the entire green structure in Malmö changed. The park area today covers 12 hectares and is located in the district Kirseberg. In 1885 the parkland began to be constructed. Many of the changes that have occurred in Beijer's park over the years can be traced to the changes that took place simultaneously in the city's other parks.
Malmö was a small town when the first public parks in the early 1800s began to be built in many western cities. Malmö was surrounded by a landscape of arable land, the climate was favorable and the soil fertile. Most of the greenery in the city at that time was in private hands. Philanthropists among citizens in the rapidly growing industrial city talked about working people's need for greenery.
Up to 1860 there were public parks only in a few cities in Sweden. Bourgeois middle class was crucial to the construction of the early public parks in Sweden and so was also the case in Malmö. Reasons for the parks can be traced to a desire for embellishment values, meeting places for citizens of the city and to be "tidy-reforms" "to the cities. Parks was also becoming an important element for a city to achieve a form of urbanity. Thoughts on sanitary and health improvements for the city and citizens also recorded.
Kungsparken was the first major public park built in Malmö. It was public but acted as "an extended upper-class saloon" with park guards who kept order of the visitors. In 1881 the city appointed a park committee to review the park issues. The same year, a planting association was founded in Malmö, later renamed the Malmö beautification and planting of association (Malmö Förskönings- och planteringsförening), through private initiatives. The planting association came to mean a lot for the city's greenery and parks development.
The concept and the possibility of a forest park in the city were discussed in Malmö in 1882 and also increased the pressure to build more public plantings. One of the initiators and founders of the plant association was merchant Gottfried Beijer. He applied with his brother, on his own initiative, on lease for a piece of land in the eastern suburb of Malmö and 1885 began with the construction of "a very attractive planting". The idea of this planting (Beijers Park) at the time was that it would be a counterpart to Kungsparken and was planned to accrue to the city for fifty years.
The main events and years for Beijers park took place in 1901 when the city took over the park, 1914 when the park opened to the public and later, in 1917, when the park opened in its entirety.
During the 1920s and 1930s the park had its shaping rate peak with a large "Mall" or promenade through the park's southern part and around it large open lawns. Following the current enlargement of the pond in the 1930's the park went into its more modern look and today and currently the city sets biodiversity in focus for the park's development. For the residents in neighboring areas around the park and also for many residents in the rest of Malmö Beijers park today is as a very important part of their living environment, quality of life and amenity of the city. It is sometimes possible to talk about a symbiotic relationship between the park and it´s residents.

MOSCOW, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Hitting Russian mining and metals companies with extra taxes because they are making profits will only encourage them to be less efficient, according to billionaire Vladimir Lisin, who controls top steel producer NLMK .
"The proposed method of creating an extra tax base looks like an encouragement for inefficiency: the lower the profitability, the lower the tax that needs to be paid," Lisin said.
Russia is considering bolstering the state budget by raising more revenue from metal and mining companies that are earning windfall profits, according to proposals seen by Reuters.
Lisin, who is also president of industry association Russian Steel, said the proposed measures need to be refined.
The proposals, which did not specify how extra revenue would be raised, were set out in a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin from Kremlin economic aide Andrei Belousov.
Three industry sources told Reuters they had either seen the letter or were aware of it.
Belousov, the finance ministry's press service and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov could not be reached for immediate comment.
Russia needs additional budget revenue to meet economic goals set in decrees signed by Putin for his new six-year term. The government has already announced plans to raise Russia's value-added tax from 2019.

I was very pleased to receive an email yesterday from Tony in Wigan. He kindly offered to bring his CB250NA over to my house and allow me to swap parts from his to mine in order to help identify the problem. How good is that???
We're gonna meet sometime next week and although I probably won't remove anything from his bike, I will most definitely take some electrical readings for comparison.
Ali Munir's comment has been deleted because advertising crap is not allowed.
Current Location : Horwich, Bolton, UK.
Way, way back in August 1980, I was working as a young steel-erector in Newcastle Upon Tyne and around the corner from where I worked was "Ken's Motorcycles" on the West Road. In the window was a brand new CB250N Superdream in shiny black - and I wanted it! So I got got the brochure (shown below), begged my future father in law to act as guarantor and signed on the £820 dotted line.
I loved that bike - it got me back and forth between Bolton and Newcastle with no problems or hiccups and lots of fun. From memory, it did something like 60 miles per gallon and could burn off most cars. What else does a young lad want?
Anyway, 28 years later, I decided to get another one and refurbish it over the winter months. I've done similar projects in the past and really enjoyed them, so I'm hoping that this one turns out as well as the others. Having said that, this project will be a REFURB as opposed to a rebuild.
The donor-bike looked to be in pretty good shape at first glance, but as usual, it all turns pear-shaped when you remove your rose-tinted glasses and start to see what's REALLY there!
The first thing that I want to do, is spend a little time finding out whether or not the engine needs a rebuild. If it doesn't really need it, so much the better. If it does need doing, then there'll be a significant delay as I spend time clearing out the garage to give me a lot more space.
I estimate that this project will take 3 or 4 months to complete but due to other interests/hobbies, it may go longer.
So, I'll start off with a few photos of the bike in its current condition and then log the progress of the refurb as I go along. Please feel free to comment or offer advice. Hope you enjoy!

If you build it, they will come. Well, at least you hope they'll come! According to Netcraft, there are over 600 million active websites and approximately 150,000 new sites are launched every day. How can you ensure that your products and services will be found in this online congestion? The answer might be a microsite.
A large website with a multitude of products and services can often detract from the offerings that generate the most revenue. Highlight these products and services in a microsite by providing detailed descriptions and demonstrations. Provide significant and relevant details regarding a product or service on its own page to help prospects easily find and understand what you offer. In this way, microsites can reach a whole new audience.
For example, as a marketing firm, we offer a long list of services, including website development. All of these services are featured on our main website, but we have found that a large target audience is looking specifically for web design. To help this group of potential customers more easily find and understand what we offer, we created a microsite that highlights only website development. It provides visitors a more focused experience.
Generating interest in your products and services is the goal of every business site. Because microsites act like several little homepages, they provide more opportunities to attract new audiences. Increase interest in a specific product or service by giving it a microsite, which acts like a spotlight. When done right, microsites also tend to generate more shares, which expands your reach.
Because microsites can be developed and placed quickly, they are especially useful for things that have a short lifespan. Think seasonal promotion, a large sale or a special announcement, such as a new product launch. Creating a full website for something that has an expiration date is impractical, but microsites can be done in a flash!
Express your creativity and get a little playful with microsites. Some degree of standardization is necessary for your main website to make it user friendly and easy to navigate. But since microsites are so small, you can step out of the box and experiment a bit.
While you're stretching your creative muscles, why not do some testing? Send out various campaign messages through different microsites and monitor the market. Use microsites to help you gauge the effectiveness of various headlines or graphics. And, then select the one that resonates with your target audience. Since microsites can stand alone, this strategy will not confuse your core audience.
It's no secret that the more engaged customers are the more likely they are to make a purchase, as well as share their positive experience with others. Improve engagement by finding the right content for your audience with a microsite test.
Let's review: You can use microsites to improve your SEO, build brand awareness, focus on specific products or services, highlight special promotions or announcements, reach a larger audience or target a new audience, and test the waters. That's a lot of bang for your buck! Especially when you consider that building and maintaining a microsite is easier and more affordable than creating bigger websites.
While microsites are small, they can have a big impact. That's why we suggest working with a professional to create the most effective tool possible. If you'd like to explore the possibilities of a microsite, give me a call – Kevin Anger, Spry Ideas Creative Director, at 734-531-7421.

Pereira's clear message to Mourinho after return from Spain
William Prescott July 11, 2017 Pereira's clear message to Mourinho after return from Spain2017-07-26T22:13:53-06:00
Manchester United youngster Andreas Pereira has expressed his aspirations for the new campaign as the team begins its pre-season tour.
The Brazilian midfielder, who made his first team debut in 2014, was handed 11 appearances under Louis van Gaal during the 2015/16 season.
Pereira spent last season on loan at Granada where he was in relatively impressive form even though the team was relegated from La Liga.
The 21-year-old insists his spell in Spain has improved him as a player and he is now out to 'impress' Mourinho for the new campaign.
"It was a good experience. I learned a lot of things and hopefully I can use them here, back at Manchester United," Pereira said

Пахуљаста мурина (-{Echidna nebulosa}-) позната као и облачаста мурина међу многим различитим народним именима, је врста морске рибе из породице мурина (-{Muraenidae}-).

Ова врста достиже дужину од 100 центиметара, али њена уобичајена величина је 50 центиметара. Живи на дубинама између 2 и 30 метара.

Распрострањеност

Она је широко распрострањена у Индо-пацифичком подручју од источне обале Африке до Микронезије укључујући Црвено море и Хаваје. Ова врста се такође налази у источно-централном Пацифику од јужне Доње Калифорније, Мексика и од Костарике до северне Колумбије.

У акваријуму
Пахуљаста мурина је честа акваријумска врста из групе морска јегуља. Веома су издржљиве и добро прилагођене животу у акваријуму. До 72 центиметара у дужини, мурина захтева акваријум који је већи од 40-50 литара и који има учвршћен поклопац, зато што ове јегуље (и све јегуље, о том питању) могу побећи и проћи кроз изненађујуће мале рупе.

Животни век ове врсте јегуље у акваријумима је четири године и више. Углавном се хране планктоном, шкампима, гавуном и хоботницама. Уколико нису навикнуте на замрзнуту храну, потребно је пртеходно хранити их живим шкампима. Одвикавање се може остварити временом. Исхрана, ако се састоји од слатководних риба (златне рибице, ружичасте црвене, итд), ће вероватно изазвати обољење јетре, те стога треба избећи такву исхрану.

Пахуљасту мурину нитреба држати са шкампима, раковима или јастозима, јер су они њихова природна храна. Међутим, безбедно је да буду са већином других бескичмењака, укључујући морске звезде, сасе и јежеве. Компатибилне рибе са којима би мурина могла да живи су релативно велике, агресивне рибе, као што су риба лав, ахантуриде, косторошац, морски гргеч, а и друге пахуљасте мурине, ако су у резервоар у исто време донесене.

Q: Does the method need to be synchronized? I need to decide if the following method requires synchronization or not in a multi-threaded environment and why?
public class MultiMain
{

 public int add(int a,int b)
 {

  int r=a+b;
  return r;
 }

}

I am new to multi-threading.I do not feel there is any need for synchronization there is no shared resource here but I am not sure about it.
Thanks in advance.

A: No, there is not need to synchronize that method.  There is no shared state between threads, so it is thread-safe.

A: No synchronization is needed for that method, because it doesn't have side-effects, i.e. it doesn't touch any class/instance field, and doesn't deal with any object.

Fundsmith founder Terry Smith does not believe there should be greater regulatory control over who can buy a swap-based ETF despite his vocal concerns about the risks surrounding the products.
Speaking at an event last week in London, Smith warned again of the misselling risk around swap-based ETFs and suggested clearer labelling was needed.
He said: "My straw pool of financial investment professionals suggested to me that a number of buyers of ETFs have been led to believe they are buying index funds. They are not.

Jeff Hephner Set As The Lead In 'Playboy'
March 3, 2011 6:59pm
EXCLUSIVE: Actor Jeff Hephner just got his big break, landing the lead role in NBC's drama pilot Playboy. The project, from 20th TV, Imagine TV and writer-executive producer Chad Hodge, is set at the Playboy Club in Chicago in 1963. Hephner went through rigorous auditioning process, beating a number of better known actors for the role, the last major part in the pilot to get cast. And he certainly has the right last name for it that sounds exactly like the moniker of the king of the Playboy empire, Hugh Hefner.
Playboy centers on Nick Dalton (Hephner), described as "the ultimate playboy." He is an attorney in Chicago and a Keyholder at the glamorous, exclusive Playboy Club. A fixer who knows how to make problems disappear, he has mysterious ties to the mob. The pilot, directed by Alan Taylor, co-stars Laura Benanti, Amber Heard, Naturi Naughton, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Leah Renee, David Krumholtz and Wes Ramsey. Hephner, repped by Paradigm and the Group Entertainment, is recurring on CW's Hellcats and has also done arcs on NBC's Mercy and Fox's The O.C.

Located in the historic Kress Building in the heart of the city's retail district, this two-story store includes a steel-framed mezzanine inserted in the double height ground floor space and a grand stair leading to a 9 ft. by 16 ft. interactive video wall. The final design successfully preserves and incorporates the historic elements of the existing building into Nike's heritage brand. The project achieved a LEED Platinum rating from the USGBC.

Here is a stupid article on "decorating a disposable lighter". I like the idea, but for more of a "time filler". I would not go buy disposable lighters just to decorate them.
And, if you use a sticker you will lose it when you have to throw the lighter away. So, you can't use one that you really like . I do like the fabric idea. But, again you have the problem of losing the cool fabric. She should have wrote one about making lighter covers(that you can take the lighter out of and replace it with a new one) (or buying plan lighter covers and decorating them). Maybe I will make one for myself and put how I did it on here.

I have installed and activated xtreme zoom plug in on my website. It is showing where I want it however I can not find any information on how to add the pictures. I have added pictured to the images file of the plug in.
Why do these plug ins come with so very little instructions?
Does anyone know what I need to do to activate the images?
I have Googled 'extreme zoom WordPress plugin' and not only can I not find any instructions, I can't find any reference to it at all. I even logged in to one of my development WP installs and searched for it in Plugin > Add New, with no results.
Maybe with the additional info I can help you figure it out.
Could you link it? Would make it easier on us.
OK - that's actually easy. In your Dashboard, look under Settings - at the bottom you should see Xtreme Zooom Menu (right under Permalinks). There are some instructions there. Basically everything loads from an XML file - that's where you make your changes.
in the instructions ( under settings I still can't see any info on how to add the images, so I looked in zoom-settings.xml but still not sure what i'm looking for.
right at the bottom I found this: ( I changed the zoom-content.xml to zoom-images but that didn't change anything.
If it were my site, I would reconsider using something this difficult to understand, and use an alternative. I would probably be [S]pissed[/S] intrigued enough to install it on a testing folder and try to figure it out in my spare time, but until I understood it inside and out I would not use it.
I changed the theme to Twenty-ten and now it works! I think the issue all along was compatibility with the theme.
Which of course raises the question - what was it in the theme that made it incompatible and how do I fix it?
You may want to contact the author of the plugin and ask about theme compatibility.

Meet The Future: Christian Rapper B. Reith
Elev8 Exclusive
B. Reith is a perfect example of the evolution of gospel music. It comes in many forms.
With a growing legion of fans on both the pop and urban music formats, Christian rapper B. Reith is set to release a new mix tape that will solidify his position as one of music's most promising artists. His new project, The Story Continues offers a showcase of musical dexterity at delivering everything from singing silky pop ballads to edgy, rap rhymes on full blast and it confirms what music aficionados already know – that he's one of the most exciting artist on the music landscape today.
Watch: First Look At Marvin Sapp's Reality TV Show "Single Dad" [VIDEO]
Featuring collaborations with well-known artists like, Wit (producer of Lecrae's "Church Clothes"), Th3ory Hazit, Dre Murray, Knine, Promise, and upcoming rapper, Isaiah Tate, B. Reith's new mixtape picks up where his last full-length CD, How the Story Ends left off by delving deeper into hip hop music. The project also features an acoustic cello-beat box remix track from producer Kevin "K.O." Olusola, from the mainstream accapella group, Pentatonix. "For whatever reason I am in the season of hip hop, so I have got to get this stuff out," he says. "My music has been embraced very well by urban music audiences, so I wanted to give them something to connect with these new fans."
Here is what B Reith had to say to Elev8 :
Hip hop won me over in 7th grade and I never outgrew my passion for it. I love compelling stories, heart felt rhythms and intricate rhyme schemes. Timeless hip hop weaves those plus many other layers together and makes you feel something in your soul. It's powerful.
I love that hip hop goes beyond music. It's a culture. It's a community. It's a language, and you have to learn the language to decode it. Wordplay, slang, metaphors – the way great MC's not only rhyme multiple phrases but paint a picture with poetry. It's an art.
I'm driven by the desire to share the gift that is in me with the world. It must come out. My love for great music is what drives me to create the best music I can possibly create. Beyond that I want to share life and hope with listeners. The world is in pretty bad shape and I aim to say and do something positive about it.
Currently preparing for two nationwide tours: the Move Tour with Jessica Reedy, Da' Truth and The Ambassador that begins in mid-July, and the Synergy with Mali Music, which will run through the fall, B. Reith is a busy man who is deeply commitment to entertaining his growing fan base. He says, "I am going to be hitting it hard for a while and squeezing it for everything its worth."
The Story Continues Mix tape is now available as a free download at B. Reith website www.breith.com.
B. Reith took time out to build a playlist of music just for you!

Q: How to replace the colons in this text using Python? I have a file which looks like
1::12::33::1555
1::412::1245::23444

and so on. I need to get rid of the last argument, and replace the colons with commas. I have tried:
  myfile = open('words.txt', 'r')
  content = myfile.read()
  content = re.sub(r'(.+)::(.+)::(.+)::(.+)', "\1,\2,\3", content)
  myfile = open('words.txt', 'w')
  myfile.write(content)
  # Close the file
  myfile.close()

but the back reference doesn't work, and I just end up with a file with commas..
What I'm hoping to achieve is:
1,12,33
1,412,1245

A: Backreferences will only be interpolated with a raw string.
re.sub(r'(.+)::(.+)::(.+)::(.+)', r"\1,\2,\3", content)

You could also do this using purely strings/lists
"\n".join([",".join(y.split('::')[:-1]) for y in content.split("\n")])

A: You could use the CSV library like so (embedding the CSV for simplicity):
import StringIO
import csv

t = """1::12::33::1555
1::412::1245::23444"""

f = StringIO.StringIO(t)
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter=':')
for row in reader:
    print ",".join(row[0:-1:2])

This outputs:
1,12,33
1,412,1245

A: Can you just use simple string functions?
line = '1::412::1245::23444'
s = s.replace('::',',')
# content stored in a list
content = s.split(',')[:-1]

A: In Python 2.6:
with open('words.txt', 'r') as in_file:
    with open('words_out.txt', 'w') as out_file:
        for line in in_file:
            new_line = ','.join(line.split('::')[:-1]) + ','
            out_file.write(new_line)

In Python 2.7 >
with open('words.txt', 'r') as in_file, open('words_out.txt', 'w') as out_file:
    for line in in_file:
        new_line = ','.join(line.split('::')[:-1]) + ','
        out_file.write(new_line)

A: This would give you the string you need:
line = '1::412::1245::23444'
line_list = line.split('::')
new_line = ','.join(line_list[:-1])

print new_line
>> 1,412,1245

A: It doesn't look like you truly need regex for this. What I would do is split the line using :: as a delimiter, then drop the last item and re-insert commas.
myfile = open('words.txt', 'r')
content = myfile.read()
numbers = [int(s) for s in content.split("::")]     #get a list of numbers from the string
numbers = numbers[0:-1]                             #drop last number
content = "".join([str(n) + ",," for n in numbers]) #coalesce numbers back to string
myfile = open('words.txt', 'w')
myfile.write(content)
myfile.close()


Stroke, injury, trigeminal neuralgia, and a number of other diseases can cause problems with the blink reflex. This frustrating and debilitating condition is currently addressed by embedding a weight into the eyelid to use gravity to bring it down, or by performing a muscle transplant, which is rarely done. Because these approaches have substantial side effects, researchers from University of California Davis Medical Center and SRI International have been working on an artificial eyelid muscle mechanism. In the latest issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery the team is describing the development of a electroactive polymer artificial muscle (EPAM) based system that has yet to be tried on humans, but is showing promise in the lab.
Using cadavers, the surgeons inserted a sling made of muscle fascia or implantable fabric around the eye. Small titanium screws secured the eyelid sling to the small bones of the eye. The sling was attached to a battery-operated artificial muscle. The artificial muscle device and battery were into a natural hollow or fossa at the temple to disguise its presence.
Senders and Tollefson found that the force and stroke required to close the eyelid with the sling were well within the attainable range of the artificial muscle. This capability may allow the creation of a realistic and functional eyelid blink that is symmetric and synchronous with the normal, functioning blink. A similar system also could give children born with facial paralysis a smile.
The three-layered artificial muscle was developed by engineers at SRI International of Palo Alto, Calif., in the 1990s. Inside is a piece of soft acrylic or silicon layered with carbon grease. When a current is applied, electrostatic attractions causes the outer layers to pull together and squash the soft center. This motion expands the artificial muscle. The muscle contracts when the charge is removed and flattens the shape of the sling, blinking the eye. When the charge is reactivated, the muscle relaxes and the soft center reverts back to its original shape.
An implanted battery source similar to those used in cochlear implants would power the artificial muscle.
For patients who have one functioning eyelid, a sensor wire threaded over the normal eyelid could detect the natural blink impulse and fire the artificial muscle at the same time. Among patients lacking control of either eyelid, an electronic pacemaker similar to those used to regulate heartbeats could blink the eye at a steady rate, and be deactivated by a magnetic switch.
The researchers are now refining the technique on cadavers and animal modes. They estimate the technology will be available for patients within the next five years.

Family Guy: "Herpe The Love Sore"

Family GuySeason 12
Herpe, The Love Sore
Throughout these reviews, I've often noted (probably excessively) that for a while now, the best part of Family Guy has been the relationship between Stewie and Brian. This is probably not a very controversial opinion, much as a lot of things about the show have attempted to stir the pot in the past few weeks and years. Tonight, Family Guy leans hard on the Brian-Stewie relationship and silly, unnecessarily "shocking" sources of comedy as Brian gives Stewie herpes, something that manages to be a totally run-of-the-mill, boring installment of the show.
At the very least, the emotional moment here, when Stewie breaks down because he can't trust Brian anymore, isn't so bad. But otherwise, the plot proceeds very neatly along a Family Guy color-by-numbers, as Stewie first wants to be blood brothers with Brian, then learns he's acquired herpes from the dog, then gangs up on him with Chris' help to torment him. The main joke here is that animations of herpes are gross (as well as a brief glimpse of real, live herpes), and indeed they are (culminating in a glimpse of Adult Stewie from Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story covered in herpes sores), though that loses humor value quickly, especially when the episodes winks to acknowledge that it knows that at least that sort of herpes isn't that big of a deal.
Meanwhile, Peter gets really excited about a new toy—in this case a whip that really belongs to Quagmire. Almost this exact same joke has been done a hundred times before, even in the past few episodes (remember the fork lift?), so it's tough to get excited about it, even with a fun little use of Devo's "Whip It" and a brief appearance from Cleveland (because slavery). But after whipping a few things, Peter, Joe, and Quagmire get kicked out of their booth at The Clam by some rough types, and after everyone in Quahog hears about how the guys got bullied out of their booth, they become pariahs and pushovers. Like in the main story, there's basically one joke here (the guys being emasculated) that's pushed to nearly its breaking point, without anything else actually happening. Family Guy doesn't, of course, need long-term serialized plots or anything, but it helps for episodes to contain more than one or two beats so that the rest of the running time isn't padding.
This plot culminates in a good old-fashioned Family Guy fight at The Clam as the guys decide to try to reclaim their manhood, combined with a good old-fashioned Family Guy drawn-out pain gag, as Peter attempts to eat a can of spinach while cutting his finger—it wouldn't have been out of the question for Ernie to show up because hey, why not. Then, it turns out that the guys in the booth are soldiers heading out to Afghanistan the next day, a resolution that is pretty lazy even for the show at this date. This episode has some redeeming qualities, but they're mostly to be found in the strength of the premises of the two stories, promising ideas for Family Guy plots that get pretty much nothing from the writers' room.
Unofficial cutaway counter: nine.
I quite liked the Cowardly/Rational Lion joke. Flying monkeys are scary!
I also really like the tossed-off suggestion that Joe is in a production of Fiddler On The Roof, and no one cares.
And, of course, I would totally watch Bryan Cranston Sneezes.
